The Enemies We Demonize

Erik Guzman August 20th, 2007

"If I were a gravedigger, or even a hangman, there are some people I could work for with a great deal of pleasure." -Douglas Jerrold

If the liberals are destroying your faith, if the gays are destroying the foundations of the family, if the apostate Christians are destroying the Church, if the warmongering conservatives are destroying the world, and if you have to do battle with them all…you can't just be the person God created you to be.

You have to become a soldier! You have to read the Bible to prove they are wrong! You have to prepare your arguments! You must never let your guard down! And eventually, you will end up bound in a prison of your own making.

Join Steve for the Scandalous Freedom Podcast #17 as he talks about how demonizing people will destroy your freedom.

Thank you, Mr. Brown. You gave me a very brand new real application for enemies. That enemy is a definition of ourselves. We decide to hate or love our brothers and sisters. They are not demons or demonized people, they are what they are and God is changing them for a purpose. But, I still will practice the Great Comminsion! So, they know and love Jesus!
