*Virtue as those in the cocktail circuit see it
Proverbs 17: 7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
We are told by our “princes” to believe all of the following if we are to be considered virtuous:
· We are not committing genocide.
· This is the most moral army in the world.
· Palestinians are animals.
· We care about free speech.
· The laptop is a hoax.
· The election was the fairest in history.
· They tried to overthrow the government.
· The election was stolen by the Russians.
· Two weeks to flatten the curve.
· Masks.
· Six feet.
· Safe and effective.
· Take the shot and stop the spread.
· You’re killing grandma.
· A rules-based order.
· Ukraine is fighting for democracy.
· Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet Union.
· Climate change will end the world in [insert new timeframe here].
· Electric vehicles reduce carbon emissions.
· A boy can be a girl.
· A girl can be a boy.
And this is just a sampling from the last 5 years or so.
Conclusion
John 8: 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
To avoid confusion, that was Jesus talking. You will never see that verse in one of those “He Gets Us” commercials.
Epilogue
Revelation 12: 7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
