God is not politically correct

* Luís Alberto Alves

We live in a time of political correctness. That is, they try to put in people's minds that there is wrong right or wrong right. It is as if someone is robbing a strong car and distributing the money to the poor, the hungry, the homeless, the old people abandoned in the asylums. Or an honest father who, upon discovering that the child is a thief, resolves to hand him over to the authorities to receive punishment for the errors.

From the perspective of the politically correct, it would not be a crime to take the money from the theft and distribute it to the needy. After all it's for a good cause. An honest father, even though he knows that the son is a thief, he should never call the police to arrest him and finally receive the proper punishment.

These two examples sum up what Jesus Christ said in the mouth of the Apostle James, in chapter 3, verse 11: "Can any one drink hot water and brackish water?" Can one be honest and dishonest at the same time; This is the question that God asks. Is it possible for one to serve the Lord and Satan? Is it possible for the person in the service or school to be an angel and in the house next to the family act like executioner, possessed of demons?

God has never been and will never be politically correct. He makes it very clear in the Gospel of Matthew that we should never serve two masters, for we run the risk of pleasing one and displeasing the other. There is no half truth or half a lie. They are complete. Either someone is true or liar, or ugly or handsome. Just like there is salt half salty or sugar half sweet.

The great problem of this end time is that the Devil has infiltrated subtly in the evangelical churches and through strategies, which bring good clothes, dominated the minds of several Christians. He created the middle ground. He instituted sinful actions, which should not be seen as an error, where the notorious politically correct one enters.

In fact, the function of the politician is precisely to sell the image of something bad as good. An example of this is labor and social security reforms, where people will lose a variety of security items in the exercise of their profession and will never be able to earn the benefit of retirement. Politician is paid to build solutions using arguments that seem to be correct in order to justify something bad as good.
