A majority of anti-Christ party followers want the government, at least to a limited extent, to determine what is or is not misinformation and censor that which is deemed, in their opinion, misinformation. [1]
That is because they have no love of truth and take pleasure in unrighteousness as it is written. (2 Thess. 2:10, 12) And because they have no love of truth, they demand in their wickedness that it be suppressed and so will set and retain in power they who will suppress and silence that which they do not wish to hear and it is at this point when they seek the suppression of anything challenging their preferred narratives that they have already lost the debate against that which they do not wish to hear.
Granted that there may be many that may have no quarrel with some of the truth, but they refuse to heed or let be broadcast the truth in its full counsel and entirety because of what that truth may lead to and force them to face and come to grips with and that truth goes beyond just the truth about COVID-19 or the efficacy and potential hazards of current vaccines but to a truth even more inconvenient than the controversy of COVID-19 and its remedies so-called and though they may not yet attempt to silence that truth in and of itself just yet, they are actively seeking silence anything challenging their favored narratives regarding lesser matters such as, not only anything challenging their preferred narratives regarding COVID, but also anything that challenges the credibility of the 2020 election results, and if they succeed in suppressing anything that might overthrow their favored narratives regarding these matters, they will then attempt to silence anything that challenges their preferred narratives on more serious matters until they attempt to then silence anything challenging their favored doctrines, ideologies, creeds, and religions because they are in rebellion with the source of all truth (Jn. 14:6) who is the Lord God who made the heavens and the earth and all that it is in them and who is the Maker of our reality and who is the sole definer of what is right and wrong, good and evil, light and darkness, pure and corrupt, holy and unholy, sacred and profane and naturally when they reject that source of all truth, they then will seek to be blind and deaf to anything that pertains to Him and may vindicate His truth because they love that which is evil instead of that which is good, they prefer the things of darkness rather than the things of light, and take pleasure in sin instead of godliness and righteousness.
And because they despise the voice of truth and would rather do what is right in their own eyes instead of that which the Creator of Heaven and earth has declared to be right and pleasing in His eyes, God will send them what is foretold to be a strong delusion that they might believe a lie (2 Thess. 2:11) and they shall believe it unto their own final destruction because there is a day coming when the wickedness of this world will reach a certain measure and when that measure is reached, judgment will come upon the face of the entire earth and upon those who persist in their evil and refuse to repent before Almighty God of their sins because sin cannot be allowed to abide forever and neither can evil be allowed to persist for it is because of sin and because of the evil of this present world that all of creation is subjected to every kind of misery, grief, sorrow, hardship, adversity, and suffering that there ever has been and could be and why it is dying a very slow death. (Rom. 8:19-22)
Sin affects far more than we can possibly comprehend. It is not merely a wicked deed, bad behavior or conduct, or even a careless and cruel spoken word. It is a condition by which human nature is corrupted and perverted from its original design and has been so ever since the first man who is called Adam and his wife, who is called Eve disobeyed a certain commanded given to them by God which was to not eat the fruit of a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil lest they should die. (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3)
For before sin had entered into the world, there was no evil present therein, no death, no decay, or any of the miseries, sufferings, or anything to cause the evils associated with this present world. But the choice of life or death was set before Adam and Eve from who all of mankind descend and that choice was in the form of two trees; the tree of life, which would have enabled man to live forever, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 2:9)
Rather than be obedient to God, Adam and Eve chose to heed the voice of a lying spirit who led them into the transgression and in the day that they ate of that fruit forbidden them, sin entered into them and with sin came eventual death, but worse than even the bodily death that followed, Adam and Eve could no longer enjoy the perfect fellowship and unity with their Maker that they once had because of sin which entered into them and from them has sin been passed down to all of mankind causing all to sin and because all sin, all die as a consequence (Rom. 5:12, 6:23) for not only is the outward performance of man taken into account, but also the nature of his very thoughts, imagination, motives, and the attitude of his heart; all of which will be judged of God, for as it is written, it is not that which goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of him, that is what defiles the man (Mt. 15:11, 18-19) because it is within a man where evil begins before it is made manifest in his words and actions and it is due to this inherent corrupted condition that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) which is moral perfection.
For though we may seek and desire to do that which is good and pleasing in the eyes of our Maker, due to sin being present within us, our own goodness falls short of His goodness and in order for us to escape judgment, our goodness would have to be like unto that of the God who made us because that is what would be required for us to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but because our own goodness falls short of perfection, we are all guilty of sin before Almighty of God. There is not one person who has managed to do that which is right and pleasing in the eyes of Almighty God without fail. There is not one person who has been able to keep His laws with a perfect heart and because of this, we are all in danger of the judgment to come because of sin that is within us for when sin faces judgment, then so must all who remain in their sin, but God, in His mercy and in His love is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and it is because of His love for man and because of His desire to show mercy instead of wrath that He withholds the day of judgment and has on behalf of mankind provided redemption in Christ Jesus, His only begotten Son, who offered Himself up as that needed sacrifice for all of mankind; the sinless Christ (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) taking upon Himself the demanded penalty of sin for sinful man through His death on the cross and then being raised from the dead so that we may be justified in Him. (Rom. 4:25)
For it is by our faith and trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins that our souls are cleansed and purged of all sins so that we may enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and just as our souls are cleansed of sin, so our bodies will also one day be liberated from the bondage of death when these corruptible forms of ours are changed into that which is incorruptible (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and finally, creation itself will be liberated from the curse by which it is afflicted because of sin when it is made anew for when it is made anew, it will be free of sin, death, and decay, and it will not be made subject to any curse, and within this new and better world to come, there will be no pain, suffering, grief, or sorrow, but only life, light, blessing, happiness, and joy before God Almighty who in that day will make His dwelling among men. (Rev. 21-22)
Therefore, if you consider yourself to be a lover of truth but have not yet given yourself over to Jesus, then I urge you reader to call upon the name of Jesus who is the way, the truth, and the life, for the forgiveness of sins that you may be saved from what would otherwise be a fearful and terrifying judgment to which there is no end because it is eternal separation form God Almighty and everlasting torment to which all sin, evil, and everyone who remains therein will be made subject, but today is calling as many as are willing to repentance in Christ Jesus. If you in any way sense the call of Christ to repentance, do not hesitate to call upon His name for the forgiveness of sins and to place your trust in Him for salvation:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
