Liberals Are Bullies But We Won't Cower

I stand by Apprising Ministries and Deception in the Church in dealing boldly with Emergents and their constant slander and insults to Online Discernment Ministries.
You know people are desperate whey they start throwing personal insults instead of dealing with the issues according to Scripture.

One thing I have observed about liberals---religious or political--is that they are immature and therefore act accordingly. I'm not saying that in a snotty way, but the fact is, they really are immature. When they don't get their way, when they are rebuked and not given the freedom to do as they please, they throw tantrums just like an angry teenager or in some cases, bullies. I must say that the physical threat of violence while calling ODMs bullies, is pretty hypocritical. It reminds me of other bullies like Todd Bentley and Mark Driscoll who also threaten physical violence with those who don't cower to their authority.

Case in point:

"What Heitzig doesn’t realize is that these people are cowards…they hide behind their blogs and their rhetoric because they don’t have the theological or intellectual capacity to defend their thinking.There’s only one way to handle a bully…hit them square in the mouth."


I'm so glad the Great Shepherd of the Sheep doesn't hit us over the head with a billy club.

1Pe 5:2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

Mat 20:25 But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

The more the Light of Truth is shed on such people and their leaders, the more they become violent and unreasonable. Squirming, they lash out in defense, but so blinded to the Truth, they can't see their own hypocrisy;they demand tolerance for their own, but they themselves are unwilling to give it.

Over and over again, ODMs have showed by Scripture where and how Emergents, Seeker-friendlies, liberals,etc. are wrong biblically. But what's interesting, is that in demonstrating specific error and testing it against Scripture,its apparent that isn't enough to show their theological falsehood. So not only do they lie about ODM's showing exactly how someone or group is off biblically, they actually are lying about it.

That won't deter us.

2Co 11:12 And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

Instead of calling for violence against Christian (this by professing Christians!), they should deal biblically with others. However, their lack of faith in Scripture and to bear fruit of the Spirit, walking in and proclaiming Truth, they fulfill their flesh, for they think fleshly thoughts and spew fleshly venom, all because people don't cow-tow to their bully tactics.

A consistant liberal wouldn't care what Discerning ministries say or do because its "our truth"---and would give us tolerance and leeway like they do with false Christians with false gospels like Sweet. Funny how that only is a one-way street.

Will physical threats shut us down? Nope.

2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

For our Defender is Christ Himself and we a spiritual war with spiritual weapons.

2Co 1:12 For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.

2Co 4:2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.

Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Eph 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
Eph 6:17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Eph 6:18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
