“If you want the fruit called religious liberty, you have to want the tree that this kind of fruit grows on. This means that if we want maximum liberty for people who don’t believe in Jesus, then we will have to . . . believe in Jesus.” — Douglas Wilson, Mere Christendom
People who hate Jesus will be less free under governments that also hate Jesus than they would be under a government that loves Him. Liberty is a Christian concept. It is only a value in places where Christ is valued. Anyone who hates the Lord should give thanks to the void for those that do for they make it possible for haters to have a better life.
2 Peter 2:19
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
College campuses promote free speech, but they create a world where opinions are cancelled. Hate speech is the brainchild of higher places of learning.
Galatians 5:13
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Those who use their freedom for the sake of their flesh will end up enslaved to their passions. There is no liberty outside of the Lord.
