Why does the media try to discredit Christianity?

[surrendersacrifice]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Time and again the media claim that they have made startling discoveries about Christianity. To the common people who have not been educated in the history of      Christianity, such presentations seem like eye openers, because, the presentations have scholarly pretenses. In reality, they are full of false information, unrealistic speculations and fiction. The De Vinci code was history mixed with fiction that made fiction appear like real history. Judas' Gospel, that were written by Gnostics (who were at odds with Christians) long after the real Gospels were written, had been discredited by scholars a long ago; yet it resurfaced as some new discovery in the media. More recently, they took an archeological findings of the early nineteen eighties, in which grave of a Jewish family was discovered, and tried to imply that it was the grave of Jesus and his family; although none of his family members lived in Jerusalem (where the grave was discovered) and the chief archeologist of the excavation found no connection between Jesus and the grave.

  The media is anti-Christian, because, they are opposed to Christian teachings. Christianity teaches about unconditional love, in which, Christians, like Jesus, are called to love their enemies and compensate for the offenses of their offenders by sacrificing their own interest. Christians are also called to protect every human life, including those in the fetal and embryonic stages, and respect marital union as holy, permanent and life-giving. Christians, therefore, oppose contraception, artificial reproductive techniques, destruction of embryo for any reason, euthanasia, divorce, fornication, sexual immorality and perversities, gay union, and self-interest. The media, which espouses all these things, therefore, does not like Christianity. To them, Jesus is the stumbling block, because, in Jesus the reality of God, as pure, sacrificial, all forgiving is revealed. Jesus, therefore, is their prime target.

The media is quick to spectacularize things that are against Christianity.  And let us face it, it is against Christians.  We do not see the truth of Islam in the news.  We do not hear about the teachings of Christs, and when we do it is rarely in context.  But then what do we expect.  The Bible teaches us that for those that are not saved they see the Bible as foolishness.  They do not have an understanding of what the Bible teaches.

Why does the media try to discredit Christianity?

Is simple: money and lifestyle. We stood their ways.

Everytime they discredit God and/or his word, is always mislead.

[smokey the dog]

They persecuted Jesus, we should expect nothing less!

John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

God's word is seen as an offense. It pricks the minds and hearts of men convicting them of their sin. It makes a hard and callous world feel afraid of the truth because the truth brings light to sin and they would rather that their sin not be exposed.

Christ is their stumbling block that they try to ignore and legislate away. But it is always there convicting them and making them feel uncomfortable and offended.

And it always will.

They are of this world and controlled by the father of lies.  They don't know the truth.  Their job as followers of the devil, is to lead as many as they can to hell.  How sad.

Amen Baxley, the Bible says it as follows:

 Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

When people are offended by God's Word or feel uncomfortable, yet don't want to follow in His Steps they try to make up their own ...... and they become a stumbling block.

1Pe 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
