Calling Good Evil and Evil Good
3 May 2006
One of the scripturally foretold signs of the end times is a general consensus that good is bad and bad is good (Isaiah 5:20). Insidious instances of such insanity are innumerable today, so much so that they attest to the fact that we are living in the last days. Consider for instance the following trio of “righting wrongs and wronging rights” tomfoolery.
First, God fearing people with the courage of their convictions are now bad, while godless people without morals and values are good. The former are hatemongers and bigots; the latter tolerant and open-minded.
Second, thanks to the release of a modern translation of the long ago disproved “gospel of Judas” by the National Geographic Society, Judas is suddenly being touted as our Lord’s best friend rather than His betrayer. No longer the fiend who did the devil’s bidding, Judas is now our Lord’s closest confidant without whom Christ could not have carried out His plan to bring enlightenment (gnosis) to mankind.
Third, scientists are reporting the discovery of the fossil remains of a two-legged creature in Argentina that proves snakes evolved by losing their legs. Instead of the serpent being cursed by God to crawl on his belly and eat dust (Genesis 3:14), snakes evolved from four-legged creatures to two-legged creatures to no-legged creatures. In other words, they moved up by getting down.
Charles Dickens once wrote: “The world is mad, as mad as Bedlam.” I must admit, I wholeheartedly concur. How else can you account for a world that praises immorality as tolerance, Judas as a hero and divine curses as evolutionary advancements?
