Satan wrote this article and some of my Christian friends started sharing it for reasons I cannot understand. Christians are supposed to know that Satan lies about everything. When the “Father of Lies” pens an op-ed, it’s not supposed to be quoted by people who claim to follow the “way, the truth, and the life.”
Here’s the quote that my Christian friends can’t wait for “White Christians” to read:
I believe with all my heart that Christianity is the only hope for mankind. Therefore, I can’t stand idly by while my weaker brothers do all the talking. Satan only says things that will kill people. So I’ll take a few minutes and expose the wretched lies in this quote.
There is no such thing as ‘White Christianity’
Jesus prayer was that we’d all be united. “I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.” (John 17:20)
Suggesting that white people have a different form of Christianity is incorrect and directly contradicts Christ’s prayer for oneness. There aren’t any white Christians. There aren’t any black Christians. There are just Christians.
Individuals don’t read the Bible exactly the same way.
The phrase, “As each individual reads scripture, they see themselves as the princess in every story,” is obviously false. Millions of people read scripture and see themselves differently in the stories. Assigning a point of view to individuals based on nothing but the color of their skin makes you a racist. Racism is a sin.
God forgets sins when we repent.
According to scripture:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9
The “most powerful country in the world” has not “enslaved both Native and Black people” for over a century. Blaming Christians today for sins committed before they were born is exactly what Satan would do because it is a lie. God says confessing sin makes the sin disappear. Holding any Christian accountable for slavery in the United States invalidates Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
The Gospel turns all Christians into “the people in power.”
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16
Jew, Greek, black, white, male, female, young, old, rich, poor, EVERY one who believes in Christ is infused with the power of God. God is the most powerful being that exists anywhere. God’s power surpasses racists, terrorists, bullies, demonstrators, kings, governments, and the forces of Hell itself. It is an unholy lie to proclaim that any Christian is, “utterly ill-equipped to engage issues of power and injustice.” The power of God is more than sufficient to engage ANY issue.
If you have posted this sinister meme, or similar lies to social media, you need to tell God you’re sorry. Then, you need to tell your online community that you’re sorry for lying to them. All will be forgiven and you will experience the power of God through the miracle of a clean heart.
Test things against the truth of scripture. That will help you stop posting stuff that Satan writes.
