These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Psalms 50:21 (KJV)
Maybe because I am a Christian, that I get upset when people speak offensively about Christ my Savior It is these very same people that feel you are invading their space when you tell them about Christ. It is these very same people that have no problem with bragging about their perverted sexual preference, they find it t totally acceptable to boast about how many women they’ve been with last weekend, or how “Pissy Drunk” they were the night before, how many designer drugs they’ve taken before work, and even to some degree, how often they’ve beaten their wives. But Speak against their atrocities in a moral state judged by God and instantly they will have you taken to HR with your job now in jeopardy we Christians, ( I don’t like that moniker “Believer” because even the devil is a believer) are left with no defense against this problem, we are left having our ears blistered with the voice of this world’s perversions, defiled by the words of those that blasphemy the Name of God and Christ Jesus. So what do we do, take them to HR? Maybe, and risk being labeled bible thumper, or Jesus freak, or just plane old trouble maker, moreover we risk being isolated from the rest of the work force. And if your work place is perverted enough ( as the last two places I’ve worked), you, not the offender will lose your job. Some of you may argue that God did not want you there anyway; my argument is maybe God did want you there to make a change, but because of you own discomfort you like Jonah ran from what God had given you to do. (Selah)
The second option is take them to court. To that I simply say no. Paul in 1 Corinthian 6:2 tells us that the whole world will be judge by us and we should not take another brother before an unjust judge. I know your saying but Paul was speaking of one brother against another, and you are correct. But when we the saint of Jesus Christ take any man to court we are saying that the leaders of our church, and the gifting given them by God are not sufficient to judge, we are saying that God himself can not rightly judge the matters of our lives.
There is a solution though it may seem simple to some profound to others it remains the only real solution. What does the bible give us as an example to what we should do?
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high placesEphesians 6:12(KJV)
When Rabshakeh tried to convince the Jews that they had misplaced their confidence in God (2 kings 18:28-35) in silence King Hezekiah dealt with his blasphemy, and placed his letters before God. (2 Kings 19:14) God therefore came into the battle to provide victory a this enemy because he (Rabshakeh) came up against God with his own testimony.
As Christians we MUST use in prayer gainst all the hate spoken by atheist, blasphemers, perverts, hateful people and anyone that will dishonor the Name of God and try to convince us that we have misplaced our faith in God. We can’t simply dismiss their words and actions toward us as “just them”. And those that rise up against Christ, and those that disrespect the son and daughters of the living God, should not have their actions be acceptable. If the prince of England walked into the building where you work right now, even though he has no dominion over you in the
God came to the defense of King Hezekiah because it was God’s will that the Assyrian King would not defeat Judah, and would not take Jerusalem. However God could not come to the aid of Judah until King Hezekiah Prayed (Now get this) THE WILL OF GOD. ……………. Now once King Hezekiah prayed God came to his rescue with vengeance (2 Kings 19:20-34) and God, not King Hezekiah defeated the Assyrians.
This concept of praying for a defeat of the enemy happen all throughout the bible but today man’s morality has made us to believe that it just isn’t right to pray bad on someone. I think in my defense this is not what I’m saying to pray bad on someone for their actions.
But as Christian we must realize that the crimes against Christians, the disrespect and dishonor, the attacks against us because we are Christians are argument toward God for the manifestation of His Will. we must cry with contrite hearts. , "Father see how they reproach the Gospel of Jesus Christ?, They defy You Father, and dishonor Your Son with their hateful words. They speak against Your servants and Your children they detest and subdue. Lift up Your hand and be just toward them according to Your Perfect Will, Make ever mouth which came up against you confess that Jesus is Lord, and every prideful knee bow at the name of Jesus Christ to Your Glory."
