Titus 1:12–13 (NASB) — 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely that they may be sound in the faith,
Were all Cretans bad? Probably not all, but the island’s culture of laziness had such a profound impact that it influenced how people perceived the entire group, even if some individual Cretans were hardworking.
Today, we still use the term “Cretan” as an insult to describe lazy people.
It’s a fact that black males commit the majority of crimes in America. Six percent of the population is responsible for over 50% of all murders.
It’s also true that Jews have significant control over our government and don’t have to register as foreign lobby organizations. They are the largest donors, own a substantial portion of the news media, influence movies, art, and publishing houses, and even own Christian Publishing.
These are not racist statements; they are statements of facts. Not all black people commit crimes, and not all Jews engage in devious behavior. In fact, most don’t, but generalizations can still be true. It’s acceptable to notice patterns, even if they have unfair implications.
As a Christian, I was embarrassed by Jimmy Swaggart’s sexual misconduct and the Bakers stealing money. While these incidents weren’t representative of most Christians, those individuals were indeed corrupt. The Roman Catholic Church has had a significant number of pedophiles enter the priesthood, but not all priests are bad people. However, I’m sure it’s embarrassing for Catholics.
Gays form groups to influence government policies. Have you noticed their influence in school bathrooms, adoption practices, and the changes in marriage laws?
Muslims form groups and take control of entire neighborhoods, running their towns and cities according to their own preferences. Have you noticed what is going on in Dearborn and Minneapolis?
Communists have persuaded half of the American youth to embrace socialism. Have you seen the commercials pleading for young people to vote?
Christians form groups and strive to influence the culture in the name of Christ. Do all Christians agree with the "groups". No, but the Moral Majority did influence 1980's politics. Today, Christian Zionist surround President Trump. They may not speak for me, but their influence may influence how others see me.
Right now, I'm labeled a Christian Nationalist. Is that bad? I don't think so, but people have noticed Christians deciding to not get pushed around anymore and it scares some non-Christians.
I totally understand it. So if they can notice me, can I not notice their groups destroying segments of my society? I call out the church all the time. I think I'm being consistent.
