Bibles pulled from shelves in America for being divisive!
I am posting this article that was forwarded to me this morning. I pray it is overstated but as I look around the country and how conservatives speaking at colleges are being shouted down and or denied access because they are inciting riots with their hate speech. Our country is changing, and the battles lines are getting wider. People are afraid to say anything that might be construed as divisive or sharing outdated depictions of a book called the bible. If we stand idly by, to avoid any controversy we will lose the very freedom our county was founded on. It used to be over topic of abortion but the chasm has grown wider and deeper and now it about free speech and being mature enough to be able to agree to disagree. We are in a spiritual war and the stakes are the very souls of millions of people. Pray for our country. Pray for yourselves and friends that we would not deny the gospel and the truth! We can take a stand and still be respectful.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Blessings, D
Bibles Pulled From Shelves For Outdated Idea That All Humans Are Of One Race And Made In The Image Of God
U.S.—Online and brick and mortar booksellers across the country* will no longer be selling the Bible due to its “outdated depictions of humanity all being of one race and made in the image of God.”
The Bible has long been controversial when it comes to race, suggesting that Jesus Christ can break down barriers between people groups through the blood of His cross and callously proclaiming that everyone is made in God’s image and has inherent dignity and worth because of God’s infinite worth.
“We’re trying to stoke racial tensions, and the Bible is extremely unhelpful at a time like this,” said one activist. “Pulling the book will go a long way toward progressing the race war. If everyone believed what the Bible said, we’d have no racial divisions to exploit. Can you imagine all the peace and harmony that would break out? We can’t have that — our careers depend on it.”
*Except Barnes & Noble. They’re the only ones that stood against this outrageous purging of the Good Book. Good job, B&N!
