The New Morality

         If you ever struggle as a Christian knowing how to identify and counter the worlds backwards logic Todd Friel gives some great insight. Todd Friel of Wretched TV is a fantastic commentator as well as television personality. If you have never seen him before check out his youtube channel . Anyway, Friel did a segment on the new morality in America. Fantastic stuff that was well articulated. He gives a list of ten rules of the new morality

 The new morality- Todd Friel Some of the comments between rules are my own insights.

10. Vulgarity is no longer vulgar.

Ever noticed how all tv now uses bad language? Even kid and teen shows. And if you personally don't swear your the strange one. Your the odd duck. The Bible says new creatures don’t speak in course ways. James says a man that doesn't keep a tight reign on his tongue has a useless religion (James 1:26)

9. Divorce is not only acceptable but frequently advisable.

Do you feel like you have fallen out of love? Better get a divorce. Commitment not love is the glue that keeps marriages together. Is it uncommon to know someone who has had 3 or 4 marriages? What would have happened 50 years ago if someone did that? The Bible says:

Malachi 2:16  “The man who hates and divorces his wife,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “does violence to the one he should protect,” says the Lord Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.

8. All war is bad.

There has been a large shift since 9/11 in our attitude towards war. Now the younger generation especially says no to war regardless of context. Christians used to believe that there is such thing as a just war.

What about Hitler? What if that happened today? Would we get involved?

7. Capitalism is bad.

I don't know exactly where Friel is going with this one. But it is clear these days that the ones at the top of CEO chains are seen as rich tyrants that want to hold the middle class down regardless of how hard they worked to get there. 

6. Feminism at all costs.

It doesn't matter what the consequences are as long as we are all equal. Woman in war? Sure! send them to the front line. The Bible says it is shameful for woman to go to battle:

Judges 4:9 "Certainly I will go with you," said Deborah. "But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the LORD will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman." So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.

Look at co-ed dorms. All major universities have co-ed dorms and terrible things end up happening.  Putting your children into the co ed dorm right out of high school without any adult supervision is begging for trouble. That's why there is a Planned Parenthood on every university campus. Thanks Obama!

5. Take from the rich and redistribute to the poor.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money." -Alexander Tyler

4. Racial issues triumph every traditional evil. 

What if Nelson Mandela did evil as a politician? Would his civil rights achievements over rule it? Mandela legalized abortion, pornography, gambling, and gay marriage all of which are traditional evils. MLK did not believe that Scripture should be taken literally. Is even mentioning their moral failings some how blasphemous to their memory? If the answer is yes, then you have to admit we are living in a new morality. 

3. Sexual immorality, pornography and polygamy are permissible.

The world says, "If you give yourself to pornography or multiple partners well then you deserve to be happy, so good for you." A Utah judge just said that its not legal for the government to say a person cannot have multiple marriages. Wow, what a victory for the sister wives family.

2. Abortion is good.

 It is now seen as a right of every couple to kill their babies in the womb. A couple recently won a $50,000,000 dollar lawsuit for not having an abortion.The following is an excerpt form a news article on the story.

Oliver was born on July 12, 2008, with “unbalanced chromosomal translocation,” a condition in which the child inherits mismatched chromosomes from his parents, resulting in extra or missing genetic material. He cannot walk and has an IQ of less than 70, according to the Seattle Times.

The Wuths said, had they known, they would have had their child aborted. A jury in King County decided last Tuesday Valley Medical had to pay for the family's lifelong inconvenience, awarding the couple $50 million.

“What is most troubling to me is not that the test results were inaccurate, but that the purpose of the test itself was so that the parents could decide whether or not to kill their own child,” Father Shenan Boquet, president of Human Life International, told LifeSiteNews.com. “This case, and those like it where ‘wrongful birth’ is used as justification for a lawsuit, really exposes the eugenic mindset which has crept into our culture that some lives are not worthy of life.”

"Those who hate God love death" -Proverbs 8:36

1.  All truth is valid truth.

Do you personally believe that you are the messiah? Thats ok today as long as it works for you. No one will tell you your wrong. Unless your a Christian then your a judgmental, narrow minded bigot and you have to stop pushing your beliefs down everyone's throat.
