Acts 17: 23 (NKJV) - “for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:”
What’s happening in our culture is proof that a vague theology, and an appeasing message of a god we can relate to, has failed to offer real answers to complex human difficulties.
The evil represented by the Klan, or Neo-Nazis, or Nazis, or white nationalists, (of whom some CLAIM to be Christian) is born of an attempt to bend God to look like them rather than the other way around. Some in that movement point to scripture and say, “It’s in the Bible!” A god that doesn’t offend them, is a god that believes like they do. Consequently, deception, and modification, and twisting of God’s revelation to their own vile purposes ensures that the Lord of Glory will remain an unknown God to this world.
Likewise, twisting Jesus into some sort of social justice poster-boy presents an incomplete picture of a Messiah who came in the flesh, and died to redeem the world, not just make it better. Justice is a PRODUCT (see also, result, outcome, consequence, effect) of a relationship with God through Christ... NOT the other way around!
