Nonjudgmentalism--Another Sign of the End! (Mama:) After hearing the following magazine article, we asked the Lord if He had anything, to say about it�which of course He did! This article and the Lord's reply confirms the bad fruits of teaching "there are no absolutes," which has been the trend in American education for decades now. Here's the article, followed by the Lord's reply. "Absolutoptophobia" By John Leo, US News and World Report Overdosing on nonjudgmentalism is a growing problem in the schools. Two disturbing articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education say that some students are unwilling to oppose large moral horrors, including human sacrifice, ethnic cleansing, and slavery, because they think that no one has the right to criticise the moral views of another group or culture. Kay Haugaard, who teaches creative writing at Pasadena City College in California writes that her students have a lot of trouble expressing any moral reservations or objections about human sacrifice. The subject came up when she taught her class Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, a short story about a small American farm town where one person is killed each year to make the crops grow. One male said the ritual killing in The Lottery "almost seems a need." Asked if she believed in human sacrifice, a woman said, "I really don't know. If it was a religion of long standing...." Haugaard writes: "I was stunned. This was the woman who wrote so passionately of saving the whales, of her rescue and tender care of a stray dog." Christina Hoff Sommers, professor of philosophy at Clark University in Massachusetts, points to a general problem of so many students coming to college "dogmatically committed to a moral relativism that offers them no grounds to think" about cheating, stealing, and other moral issues. Simon calls this "absolutophobia"�the unwillingness to say that some behaviour is just plain wrong. The trend among some campus thinkers is to deny the existence of any objective truth: All we can have are clashing perspectives, not true moral knowledge. Values emerge as personal preferences, as unsuited for criticism or argument as personal decisions on pop music or clothes. (Jesus speaking:) As I have said, as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of My second coming. Therefore lift up your eyes and see, for these are the days of which I spoke. The days are come, and even now are, as in the times of old, when the people of the Earth did not retain Me in their thoughts. These are the days, My children, when iniquity doth abound. Behold these days of abounding, of evil waxing worse and worse as the love of many grows cold. Think it not strange when you see the signs of the times come to pass, but know that yet a little while and I will come for My Own. These are the days of choosing sides, and Satan's own are taking their stand. They're coming out, becoming more and more bold, revealing what has been in the making in their hearts for a long time. These who declare plainly and openly that they have no morals, no absolutes�these have been defiled. They're as pawns in the hands of the Wicked One, blind leaders of the blind and false teachers among the people, who walk about deceiving and being deceived. These who are without feeling, who have no absolutes, who are taking on the position of "neutralism," do choose to walk in darkness. For there are no neutrals, and those who choose this stance of nonjudgmentalism leave themselves open to receive strong delusion that they might believe the lie. These who would appear to be non-judgmental are in fact passing judgment on the truth. In their unwillingness to take a stand for what is morally right, they're promoting what is morally wrong. When men turn a blind eye, evil flourishes. By accepting the way of no rules, no morals, and no values, one accepts the road to no faith, no conviction, no freedom, no rhyme, no reason, no order, and no truth. These are the days of destruction, for by destroying faith in the truth, the Enemy is conditioning the masses. He's lining up his forces�those who will speak out on his behalf, those who will spread his propaganda of no morals, no values, no regard for human life, no absolutes. Through advancing his doctrine of "there are no morals and anything goes," Satan's own�those who are darkened in understanding and who receive not the love of the truth�will be persuaded to persecute the righteous for by their own evil conscience they will justify their actions. Through their own hardness of heart and cold, frigid spirits, they will not be moved with compassion, but will shrug in indifference as they justify their actions in their minds and hearts. With no regard for human life, they will follow the Son of Perdition in all his ways. Today they take their stand, tomorrow they will put their words into action�both those who will help the Evil One carry out his dirty work, and those of the masses, who through indifference, through having no absolutes and a lack of true values, have become hardened in their hearts as they turn a blind eye, standing by while evil runs rampant. It has begun. It is in motion. What you see happening in the world today will escalate. The no-purpose society with no values, no absolutes, and no morals is underway. All this is paving the way to accept their king, the Antichrist, who has gone out into the world. His kingdom has come down to everyday living, to where more and more with each passing day, chaos runs wild in the streets. It's no longer a matter of fiction, something to be seen only by the farthest stretch of the imagination, on the bookstands or the movie screen�but it has come to real life. Day after day Satan propagates his lies; they flourish as the masses fall prey to his deceits. These are the perilous times of which I spake. For are not men and women lovers of their own selves? Do they not follow after their own covetous ways? Are there not boasters and the proud who will not bow their heads in love and humility? Do they not speak blasphemy toward Me in their media, in their rallies, in their highly exalted cinema, worshipped by the masses? Are not these the days where the children of the world are disobedient to parents, unrestrained, uncontrollable, fierce, despisers of those that are good? Is the Earth not filled with murderers of the innocent, those who commit atrocities, violence, crime, and horrendous horrors? In his propagation of a society with no values, he seeks to destroy the work of God, and this he will do with men and women who even now are swallowing his evil doctrines, as you see manifested in this article. Through his doctrine of devils, he conditions the masses and gains sympathy for his cause, as he casts a deep sleep over those who will not discern and who are void of understanding. By clever ways, Satan seeks to play on social issues, to make it a fashionable thing, in vogue, a matter of ethnic background, a matter of multi-culturalism. But I say, it is through these fashionable trends that Satan is preparing the way for his coming. As he conditions the masses, feeding them with lies, he makes ready for his acceptance. He marshals his forces amongst those who will back him in his war against the saints of the Most High. But you, My children, have nothing to fear, for I am your Strong Tower, and evil cannot overcome the truth! Therefore, keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring forth the issues of life. And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. For you, My children, have the one true Center. I am your Center, by which you can judge all things. I am your Absolute. I am the Judge of all things, and My ways are not the ways of man that will come to ruin. I would that you, My children, judge all things, for the way of nonjudgmentalism is the way of death. For it is not given to you to stand by in ignorance, passively watching as evil men and seducers spread their evil lies. But it is given to you to judge righteous judgment, to speak the truth. My ways are not as man's ways, and I am the righteous Judge Who judges all things. This is the beginning of wisdom: Fear Me and keep My commandments, and grow in grace. For though the days be dark, and though many will fall and be deceived by the Evil One, I will cause you, My children, to shine as a spotlight in gross darkness, to shine forth the truth and set at liberty the captives! Therefore stand strong in the power and might of My Spirit, wielding accurately the sword of truth, My unfailing Word! And know that I will never fail, for I am with you always, even unto that glorious day when all the Earth will learn to walk in My ways, and you will reign with Me, judging righteous judgment among all the nations.
