Summary

Political Correctness is a very powerful force that drives, mandates and ensures that people will act, speak and give for a common goal which is already demonstrating to be in many ways against the Word of God. 

Positive Points Achieved

It is easy for any of us to see the benefits of Political Correctness that have fixed many problem areas in many countries such as:

Biblically Correct confused as Politically Correct

There are times when we as Christians may think something is being Politically Correct but it actually being Biblically Correct.

  1. The Word of God states Christian should always be conducting their life to a higher standard as we are under now under the Law of the Holy Spirit.  When we are polite to someone with another view, which may be against scriptures and God, then this is being Biblically Correct to always be an Ambassador of God.
  2. Sometimes the displays of pictures of Jesus Christ can have the opposite effect of evangelizing, where a person who is not a Christian should notice something different about us that reflects Jesus Christ without ever having to mention Jesus Christ until the Holy Spirit directs us.  We should have qualities about our life that make others want to know our strength, happiness, politeness and so much more.

Negative Political Correctness Against Christianity

The problem with Political Correctness can be given by many examples such as:

  1. Prevents free-speech that expresses anything to do with Christianity, while other religions in the world are allowed to be spoken about, conduct religious practices publicly and much more.  
    (a) Not allowed to be near a Doctor's office or Abortion Clinic, to hand out information on Adoption options.
    (b) Not allowed to post anything dealing with Christianity at Public Schools, where Public Schools are having "Muslim Awareness" days and workshops along with days to honor supposed spirit gods in nature.
    (c) Not allowed to pray in Jesus Christ's name to start Public School Sporting Events where the prayer is intended to have the players not having any injuries.
    (d) Negative interruptions and overriding yelling at private events when Jesus Christ's name is mentioned.
    (e) A clearly seen double standard, that someone can speak something that offends a Christian in the private work-place, but a Christian cannot speak anything which might not even be offending because of Jesus Christ's name which also can result in termination.
  2. Has removed Judeo-Christian icons, memorials, statues and even Bibles from public places and even private businesses because of statement that Christianity offends some people. 
    (a) Ten Commandments removed from Court Building where in many cases the engraving on the sides of walls have been there for multiple decades. 
    (b) War memorials desecrated and removed because of uneducated ignorance of the true purpose of the war memorials that honor the dead soldiers and often leaders who could have been involved in an unjust war but didn't support the unjust principles, where their actions may have saved lives along with living a very moral Christian life after the war.
    (c) Many Hotel and Motel use to always have a Bible in their rooms for comforting people who may be on a long business trip, who are lonely and even to help those who went to the Hotel to end their lives.  This multiple decade's practice is no longer the established norm, and even when finding a Bible, there is often intentional vandalism of it.
  3. Has created sanctuaries and forced acceptance for people to participate, view and speak about things that are openly against God's instructions on living moral and ethical lives.
Luke 7:23 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.
Matthew 24:10
concerning the future before Jesus Christ return.		 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
1 Corinthians 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness

Political Correctness is Illogical

This is an excerpt from the Peaceful People topic:

Political Correctness (PC), in a broad sense, means: to not say anything negative against specific groups of people or it is okay to speak negatively against all people in a specific group.  PC is a recently defined term but in reality, PC has always been in the world's history.   The PC belief system has been used to identify, take advantage of, subjugate, take into slavery or kill other groups of people.

As an example of identifying everyone negatively, a PC person might state first that all Nazis in WWII were evil people.  This same PC person might potentially go further and state that all Germans, in the 1930s through 1940s, were evil because of the Nazis in Germany along with the country of Germany starting a second world war and tried to kill all the Jewish people found.  While the first statement of the PC person was true, the second statement by the PC person is incorrect, wrong and applying the actions of the Nazis and a small group of German Leaders to the whole population of Germany.

In many countries that include the United States, PC has become a persistently used method of thinking and a manner of speaking about groups of people in the Media and Politics.  PC is not simply the absence or the openness of speaking positively or negatively about a group of people.  In a more defined sense: 

  • Political Correctness uses the argument that the majority of "X" are good people so we do not need to worry about the evil people who are part of "X" group.
  • The other side of Political Correctness has people believing that all people of a "X" group are evil because of the actions of a small percentage of the "X" group.

PC is being used to excuse evil being done by specific groups because the majority of a specific group are peaceful.  The problem, that is being ignored by PC types of people, is the good people in a group are most likely never going to be able to stop the evil being done by the individuals in their group.  Edmund Burke stated "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."  Unfortunately, history has shown us that this happens over and over.

This author is not a PC person and this author is not stating that the whole group of people in a specific group are now to be consider negatively.  This author is pointing out that the ideas of PC are dangerous because peaceful people have largely proven to be irrelevant in stopping evil.

Future Use of Political Correctness

It is this author's theory that the peer-pressure influence of Political Correctness will be part of the Antichrist's tools to take the Mark of the Beast. 

An easy example of the negative power that can be influenced on people is the indoctrination that occurred unfortunately to both:

  1. There were many, but not all, German people in WWII that hated Jews and many other ethnicities, where they were considered subhuman.
  2. There were many, but not all, Japanese people in WWII that believed that the Chinese and Koreans were inferior peoples of impure cultures.  Japan had their versions of Concentration Camps, just like Germany.   Additionally, there was the Kamikaze beliefs with the Kamikaze origins going back to the Samurai beliefs.

The WWII examples are part of many examples that show:

What to read next?

What is Salvation?  Is it possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life.  Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there an Age of Accountability?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
