03/06/25 SYSTEMIC HATRED

Recently, in my teaching/preaching, I addressed the reality that people have extreme hatred, to the extent that it robs them of reason and civility. This has become obvious with the fact of "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Whether you are a Trump fan or not, it is evident that people lose contact with reality because of their hatred for President Trump (actually his conservative political views). In another sense, Trump Derangement Syndrome can be the condition of people who idolize Trump. Donald Trump should not be demonized of deified. A person's worth is determined by his or her faith relationship with Jesus Christ.

Don't forget the number of times that people have been irate concerning words and actions attributed to Trump, while actually those ideas came from either Biden or Obama, which demonstrates that the anger and disagreement is against Trump, rather than his supposed position.

Though this extreme hatred raised against Donald Trump is aimed at one person, it is seen in other areas of life. This kind of insanity is aimed at Jesus, though He was a man without sin or fault. The prejudice against Jesus is based on a rejection of His Divine authority. Likewise, there is an insane hatred and anger against Bible believing (Christ following) Christians.

You may be wondering why I referenced Donald Trump in this post. It is not because I put him the same category with Jesus (Who is unique among all men), and Donald Trump does not display the evidence of salvation, either in his beliefs, words or deeds. However, the resistance and rejection of him as a man (primarily because he is promoting a Conservative rather than Liberal agenda), is so extreme and unfounded that the term, "Trump Derangement Syndrome," (TDS) is an apt description for such anger.

More importantly and more disturbingly, the term, "Derangement Syndrome," can be used in conjunction with the Jesus (JDS), with the Bible (BDS), with Christian (CDS), with Salvation (SDS).

The hatred for the God of the Bible (and the other entities associated with Him) are falsely based, and the purpose of God has become the target of libel, blasphemy, and even violence.

This is not a new phenomena. It is as old as the Old Testament, and Antisemitism is still with us, even when the accusations against the Jews is baseless. Jesus and the writers of the New Testament told us that Christians would be persecuted because they were His followers. I have used the term, "Sinsanity," instead of Derangement.

Remember, this anti-God, anti-Bible, anti- believer position is "Derangement" is because the anger, hatred, resistance and rejection are all groundless, destructive and all consuming.

Let me mention something else, which is related.

People who hold to a more Conservative view of life (including Christians) are held in disdain and rejected by Liberal society, with the same insane anger and malice as they hold President Trump. They want to say that the people who voted for him willfully voted for a person to do evil things. As a result, they falsely label those who voted against the Liberal, Woke machine of the Burro-Cratz, as being enemies of America and Freedom and Justice and human dignity. This is also insanity or derangement.

There are those who demonize Trump and there are those who Deify Trump. Both positions are in error (though Trump has done some obviously and overtly wicked things, and he is capable of becoming a tool of Satan in the futue to usher in greater evil than has been seen in this present time), at this present time he has not done any worse (and sometimes he has not done as wickedly) as other leaders of our country.

I disagree with some of Trump's views and decisions. I did not vote for him to take aberrant political steps. However, he did not politic on a wicked platform. A vote for the Liberal agenda was a vote for authorized chaos, fraud, oppression, perversion. A vote for Trump was a vote to stop the madness in U.S. Government.

If, or when, Trump goes beyond his stated goals or turns to an aberrant agenda, then he is no longer the man, for whom I voted. It is Satan's hidden desire to lump Bible believers into the same group as Trump. In fact, they are compelled to lump us all together. But pay attention. There is a violence against Trump and the Conservative Right that has become permissible. When Trump is gone in the days ahead, there will be a continued attack on Conservatives, including Bible believing Christians.

God sometimes uses overtly wicked men who are antagonistic to His purposes.
God sometimes uses unregenerate men to provide and promote righteous principles.
God also uses godly believers to accomplish His will.

When a person chooses to do that which is evil, God is not the source of that evil and He should not be blamed for that evil. We are to be supportive and obedient to legitimate authority. BUT, when leaders lead against the written and revealed word of God, then believers must choose to obey God, rather than men.

Make your choices on eternal truths, not on pop-culture or peer pressure. Choose Jesus as Lord and Savior. If He is not Lord of all in your life, He is not your Lord at all in your life.
