Why does the media around us perceive that Christianity is a threat to our way of life?

The only true religion is the religion of Jesus the Christ because He is the only Savior and solution to man’s sin problem.  The denominational world or non-denominational world of religion is false.  Jesus prayed that all His followers would be one as both He and the Father were One (John 17:21).  God is not the author of confusion and all plants that He has not planted shall be rooted up (I Corinthians 14:33; Matthew 15:13).  Having said that, the media makes no such distinction.  To them any church which claims allegiance to Jesus the Christ is the one that is dangerous.

I make my comment then in view of how the world looks at all churches which claim a connection to Jesus.  Jesus touched men’s hearts with the truth and not the sword. A religion today whose foundation is the sword would be a threat to any government.  Jesus came that men might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).  Those who strap bombs to themselves or set bombs off in crowded places would not find the religion of Jesus the Christ to the their liking.  Paul, in speaking about his earlier life said he put Christians to death (Acts 26:10).  It was non Christians who vowed to not eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

There are certain issues today which politicians use to garner votes and keep them in power and prosperity.  The true religion of Jesus the Christ is judgmental.  It is judgmental because the One whom we follow reveals certain things to be wrong.  The politicians know if that message spreads, they lose their votes.  We are instructed to preach the truth when it is popular or when it is not popular (II Timothy 4:2).  The reason being it is God’s Word and not ours (I Thessalonians 2:13).  Truth is a threat to those who desire to live in sin and conduct themselves in an ungodly way (Titus 2:12).  Keep in mind, regardless of Hollywood, it is a battle between truth and error.  May we never be found on the side of error.
