False Witness… But Make it Gentle
Breaking news from the pulpit this week: Charlie Kirk apparently denigrated people who ‘look like me.’ Well, Not me-me, but him-me. Because nothing says gospel proclamation like racial innuendo whispered from behind a pulpit.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the prophetic word we’ve all been waiting for: the 11th commandment…Thou shalt not disagree with me, or thou art a racist.
Now, remember, this comes from the same church that once marched with BLM while chanting slogans written by Marxists who openly despise the nuclear family. But don’t worry…it’s all in the name of unity! That’s right: insinuate a murdered Christian brother of racism in the softest voice possible… because nothing says unity like repeating the talking points of MSNBC from behind a pulpit.
It’s the new ecumenical formula: a little bit of Bible, a little bit of Beelzebub, stir it all together, sprinkle on some ‘can’t we all just get along,’ and voilà! You’ve got woke pudding served fresh on Sunday morning.
Because nothing says biblical blessing like: ‘Charlie Kirk denigrated people who look like me… bless his heart.’
It’s like watching a Hallmark movie… a really bad Hallmark movie written by Judas Iscariot. There’s lots of smiles, hugs, and then a knife in the back.
Meanwhile, the apostles had no problem naming names. Paul literally writes: ‘Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. The Lord will repay him.’ But sure, let’s pretend Peter meant: ‘Always be nice, never confront sin, and definitely don’t disagree with me or you’re racist.’
This is the irony: softly insinuating a murdered Christian brother of being a kind of oppressor, then look out at the congregation and sigh, ‘Why aren’t we united?’ That’s like robbing someone at gunpoint and then handing them a pamphlet on financial peace.
But hey, you must still speak well of him, even when it’s hard. Translation: accuse him softly of racism, demand we all nod along, and then blame us for not holding hands afterward. It’s the new liturgy of unity: false witness in the first verse, kumbaya in the second.
And that’s why this matters. Bearing false witness and repeating the lies of the spirit of the age, even in soft tones, doesn’t build unity. Unity built on slander isn’t unity at all. Bearing false witness is still a sin no matter how softly its spoken
