God Also Is "Politically Incorrect"

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways", saith the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 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. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not Him Who sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now, they have no cloak for their sin. He that hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they had not had sin; but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this comes to pass, that the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'" (John 15:18-25)

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

The Bible makes it perfectly clear that God is of a totally different mind that that of mortal men. This is because man is by basic nature sinful, a morally fallen creature who was not originally in this state: in the Garden of Eden, man was spiritually at one with God until the evil tempter destroyed this unity. Man, not God, caused this spiritual gap between the two. The Bible reveals to the reader God's plan to restore this fellowship with Him.

Politics is a human invention. By comparison, through the lens of human spiritual reference, God appears to be out-of-line with human desires, ambitions, and objectives. But it is the obligation of man, and not that of God, to modify his will to meet that of God. In no way can man bargain with God, in such a way as to persuade God to compromise. In his natural morally-fallen state, man by his powers alone simply cannot accomplish reconcilliation with God on His terms. (Romans 9:13-23) The humanly-incorrigible incorrectness is that of man, not that of God.

The notion of "political correctness" is one of Communist origin. China's late Chairman Mao Tse-T'ung wrote of it in his Little Red Book, calling it "right thinking". It is born of a human ideology which incontrovertibly denies God and His word. In this sense of human reference, God's Word, in its infinitely disparate state from it, is seen by mortal men as being extremely "politically incorrect". But men's ideas are merely temporary, while God's Truth is eternal, and thus forever divinely correct! Amen!
