Phil Johnson (Strange Fire) ”Everybody is doing what's right in their own eyes”

re…”Everybody is doing what's right in their own eyes”

Mr. Johnson

I heard the discussion in the Strange Fire QA 2 Panel. Your following words caught my attention because they describe the mark / the way that all men (“christians” and non christian) embrace, worship and live by. This is the ‘god of fortresses / of beliefs’ , the XES, that is spoken by the One Yehowah Elohim in His Word. However your fellow preachers and yourself failed to focus in on its significance and ‘image’.

You said…

…”the times in which we are living are the theological parallel to the the book of Judges, where every man does what is right in his own eyes... and there isn't a consistent voice... there is no king of Israel... there’s no consistent voice in the church…”.

…”Everybody is doing what's right in their own eyes and it‘s not even considered politically correct to sit in a venue like this and to say that this is wrong. That’s automatically deemed unkind, uncharitable, unloving.

You can’t disagree anymore. So everybody can say what they want in a time when every man does what is right in his own eyes... and nobody is willing to speak with a voice of clarity and say that is wrong... you are going to have men, lots of men, in whom there is lots of good and some bad…(ref. to Samson in Hebrews 11)….and I think the same thing about a lot of these men, despite what I would criticize and disagree with them, they are men of faith and I think that deserves to be recognized.”

What you said is TRUE. We are living in a time where every man does what is right in his own eyes...and this way is defended, desired, worshipped, and glorified by all.

What is this way of life, of works, known as today?

Is it not the belief in FREEDOM of rights (self-rights), freedom of self-justified religions, freedom of self-justified speech, freedom of self-justified sexual lifestyle, etc.?

President Obama has declared that this FREEDOM  is the LIGHT.

President Obama has confessed in Jerusalem that this FREEDOM is the will of his ‘god’, the same ‘god’ that he claimed to be the common ‘god’ of the ‘Jews’, ‘Christians’, ‘Muslims’.

But there is nothing ‘common’ about the One True God, for He is the One Creator whose identity / character (name) is clearly defined by His Son Jesus Christ...our One Savior, Lord, Master, and King.

You stated that this way of self-justification is seen in a parallel in Judges. This is true not only there. It existed in the “tree of knowledge of good and evil”....a tree of knowing (establishing / justifying) what is good and evil in one’s own eyes….to be FREE FROM the Will of the One Father and God so as to be FREE TO  do one’s own will, as per one’s self-desires.

….and this way is also seen throughout all of Israel’s and man’s history.

In the past, this self-will was the property of kings. Today, it is being advanced worldwide by the leader of the free world and it is being claimed as the right, equal right, freedom of each and every man….for each to be a ruler of oneself.

Today the ‘god of fortresses’ ( the god of all beliefs) is FREEDOM.

Today the mark of the beast, the XES, is the belief in serving and magnifying the ‘self’, one’s own will, one’s own rights.

Jesus Christ, our Lord, Master, and King, warned us not to compromise. He told us to overcome and to be true to Him. But “christians” have replaced Him by another first love...the love for freedom of self-will, self-rights, self-religion....which treats Christ as a "religion".

You said that there is no consistent voice….true ...for all have compromised because of their love for this “freedom”.

You said that “one cannot disagree anymore”....You said “nobody is willing to speak with a voice of clarity and say that is wrong”. ...for all prioritize the “equal rights” of others and for themselves.

And according to this way…. you said... “ they are men of faith (even though you may not agree with them) and I think that deserves to be recognized.”....hypocrisy...for your words are like those of the pharisee who “believed” that Christ was the Son of God BUT would not confess this in the synagogue for fear of rejection, for fear of offending another's "religious" belief.

Mr. Johnson, why are you compromising on the love for and servitude to the One Lord Jesus Christ? He did not compromise for us!

It is written that Jesus Christ will return as the One King to rule the earth...and He will do so according to the Will of Yehowah Elohim and not according to man’s love for his “freedom will”.

...and He will say to many that He does not know them….for their oil lamps were not full.
