Jerry Falwell, Jr Betrays the Gospel to Serve His Golden Calf

Conman Jerry Falwell, Jr

Just as the ancient Hebrews at times stumbled and began to worship heathen idols. So has Jerry Falwell, JR decided to sell out his never existent faith and values to follow his own golden calf: Donald Trump. Like his father before him. He has finished his mad dash to Gomorrah for a seat at the Satanic section of politics. For this he is zealously guarding his thirty pieces of silver.

Showing that his sycophancy is more numerous than all the grains of sand. Junior tweeted out the following blasphemy earlier today:

Conservatives & Christians need to stop electing “nice guys”. They might make great Christian leaders but the US needs street fighters like @realDonaldTrump at every level of government b/c the liberal fascists Dems are playing for keeps & many Repub leaders are a bunch of wimps!

Let’s just stop and reflect on what Falwell Jr is saying. He is saying that Christians need “street fighters” more than they need “great christian leaders”. Here you have a man who has made his livelihood by saying he is following the great commission given to us by Christ himself where Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 

Note that the Savior did not say to seize temporal power over our fellow man. But that is the exact thrust of Mr. Falwell’s statements and activities for quite sometime now. Another misconception we will attack head on is that being a “street fighter” is necessarily incompatible with being a Christian. Depending on how one is to define being a street fighter. If a street fighter is only fighting in self defense or in defense of others than that doesn’t disqualify them from the fellowship of Christ. If by street fighter one means a common thug, highwayman or gangster. Than that is wholly incompatible with the faith of Christ. We say this in our capacity as Christians, as well as being huge fans of the Street Fighter video game series. 

Space does not permit us here to outline every possible objection to our take on Falwell’s false view of the role of our fellow Christians in the world. So we shall answer the biggest objection we have received thus far to our assertion that Falwell is preaching false doctrine. After which we will site others responses to his early morning ramblings. 

One of the most common objections given as to our belief that Falwell’s message is anathema to Christianity is what about when Jesus said in Matthew 10:34-36 ESV: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. sI have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 rFor I have come tto set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 uAnd a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.”

To this a very able reply can be given from the following authority:

Answer: Matthew 10:34–36 describes Jesus telling the disciples that He came not to bring peace to the world, but a sword. Jesus’ sword was never a literal one. In fact, when Peter took up a sword to defend Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus rebuked him and told him to put away his sword, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword” (Matthew 26:52). Why then, did Jesus say, “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” What kind of sword did Jesus come to bring?

Among the names of Jesus Christ is that of Prince of Peace. Such verses as Isaiah 9:6, Luke 2:14, and John 14:27 make it clear that Jesus came to bring peace, but that peace is between the man and God. Those who reject God and the only way of salvation through Jesus (John 14:6) will find themselves perpetually at war with God. But those who come to Him in repentance will find themselves at peace with God. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we are restored to a relationship of peace with God (Romans 5:1).

Still, it is inevitable that there will be conflict between good and evil, the Christ and the antichrist, the light and the darkness, the children of God (believers) and the children of the devil (those who refuse Christ). Conflict must arise between the two groups, and this can and does happen within a family in which some are believers and others are not. We should seek to be at peace with all men but should never forget that Jesus warned we will be hated for His sake. Because those who reject Him hate Him, they will hate His followers as well (John 15:18).

We recommend clicking the above link to read the full analysis. Our point is that Jesus was speaking of the inevitable conflicts that arise for those of us who strive to follow Christ and those who seek to tear us down. He was not saying to go out and go medieval on others. Of course someone will always say: “Well what if this happens, what if that happens.” Okay you know what? Yes you could probably always find an exception to almost anything. What an earth shattering revelation!

As promised we will close this by showing you some feedback that others have given to Falwell. After this post we wouldn’t be surprised if we are inundated with messages telling us that our souls are damned for disagreeing with Falwell. That’s very sweet but we would rather be truthful and throw ourselves on God’s unlimited and unconditional love than lie to ourselves and others.

Remind me again, what part of the Bible says that being a “street fighter” is better than being nice? 🤔 That was never covered in any Sunday School class I attended. https://t.co/rlTb42OIuj

You see, Jesus is Col. Guile and Pilate is Bison. Peter is Blanca. The Virgin Mary is Chun Li. John and Thomas are Ryu and Ken. It all makes sense, Sarah!

I don't expect much out of Jerry Falwell, but this one leaves me nearly speechless.

There is NOTHING here that remotely resembles Christianity. https://t.co/z0EDZ2Cq67

True conservatives and, if I may say, real Christians, scorn those who decide to become cheerleaders of bullies. And the fighters I admire are Bob Dole and John McCain, not the fake tough guys Jerry Falwell has decided to worship. https://t.co/aSZkLXITof
