name-calling

 
IT IS OFTEN the case that when one is promoting a position, and another stands in opposition to that position, efforts are made to discredit the one who stands in opposition...
 
This is often accomplished by "name-calling" and "false-labeling."  However, such tactics should not dissuade one who is standing in the right:
  • If opposing homosexual marriage is being "homophobic," Lord, give us more homophobes!  Romans 1:18-32
  • If demanding strict obedience to the Bible is "legalism," Lord, give us more legalists!  Hebrews 5:8-9
  • If opposing divorce, except for the cause of fornication, is "idealistic," Lord, give us more idealists!  Matthew 19:9
  • If opposing women in leadership in the church is "chauvinism," Lord, give us more chauvinists!  1 Timothy 2:11-14
  • If dressing modestly is "prudish," Lord, give us more prudes!  1 Timothy 2:9
  • If opposing abortion is "right-wing," Lord, give us more right-wingers!  Proverbs 6:15-17
  • If believing in the inerrancy of Scripture is "fundamentalism," Lord, give us more fundamentalists!  Romans 3:4
  • If total commitment is "fanaticism," Lord, give us more fanatics!  Matthew 22:37
  • If believing one should be a virgin when one marries is "Puritanism," Lord, give us more puritans!  1 Thessalonians 4:3
  • If believing in creation is "foolish" and unenlightened, Lord, give us more fools!  Exodus 20:11
No matter what names the world and even some Christians may call you, if you stand for the truth, the Lord will call you "right."  Give it some thought.  Steve Higginbotham
 
 "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."  Psalm 118:8
