It is heartbreaking, and often results in tragic consequences, but I believe that ‘11th Commandment’ is often a ‘fig leaf’ used by professing Christians to avoid various feared repercussions, including discomfort!
I’m 68, with a great deal of broad experience largely gained ‘the hard way’, dealing with people from all over the world. But I’ve never seen anything like what has happened in the US since 2019, with wholesale denial of, or willful disinterest in considering, the blatant assertions of evil in virtually every are of our national life. It seems that most people don’t want to be ‘bothered’ by exposure of any of the evil that now threatens to overwhelm our nation; they don’t want their lives to be ‘disturbed’, or their complacency and comfort (to whatever extent they’ve realized it), to be seriously challenged.
Though heartbreaking, it has now become far easier to understand certain Biblical accounts or assertions. And, from my perspective, the validity, trustworthiness, and practical relevance of Biblical End Time prophecies have not only become crystal clear, but are tragically included in the pantheon of truths that so many are unwilling to countenance.
Thank God for His faithful love and grace, for the gift of His Word, as well as the Holy Spirit to instruct, guide, and empower us in our efforts to please and honor Him, for His glory, and the glory of His Kingdom, as we walk through these dark days.
Thanks for this insightful post... a lot of Evangelical Christians won't openly expose such works of darkness because it is more important they obey the 11th Commandment which is "Thou shalt be nice".
“Do all things without murmuring and disputing…”
