What is mind control or brainwashing? The definition of brainwashing is a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas. 2 : persuasion by propaganda or salesmanship.
Let us take the first definition - forcible indoctrination. This is what Islam does with its young people. They are indoctrinated to the point of accepting no one else's position or opinion. The Islamic religion does a better job of teaching (indoctrinating) their children than do we Christians. We take our children to church, read the Bible with them, or pray and think the church will do all that needs to be done. WRONG! I am here to say this is in error.
I once thought the Sunday School and church would teach my children. They learned some stories growing up in the church, but basically, they are not knowledgeable of the full content of what God is telling us. Sometimes they think it is just me and my generations way of thinking. NO! No! No! It comes from the Bible.
The constant bombardment of information is what changes the religious, social, and political views of individuals. Speaking of this let us move to the second definition: persuasion by propaganda or salesmanship.
We are living this now. If you watch television you are bombarded with living ways of life that are contrary to the Bible. Also, propaganda and salesmanship - we are constantly bombarded with social distancing, and cover your mouth and wash your hands.
WAIT!!! Teachers have been saying this for years; cover your mouth when coughing, wash your hands, and keep your hands to yourself. AND THIS IS A NEW IDEA BECAUSE OF COVID-19?
My fellow Christian, we are experiencing mind control or brainwashing at the very hands of our own government, the liberals, the politicians. It is time to step out in faith (with common sense) and do what is right in God's own eye. Here are some scriptures that may help.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8
I ask you, my fellow Christians, to not be timid, but to speak up boldly with love against this tirade of brainwashing we are engulfed in via media and politicians. Again, we are to follow the law of the land UNLESS it is contrary to God's word. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
