Conservatism's General Rejection of Biblical Authority















The Conservative movement of today basically consists of individuals with various personal beliefs (both religious and ideological), but conservatism in general sadly rejects outright the absolute authority of the Bible, the Holy Word of Almighty God. It is a “bestselling” book widely reverenced, but too many Conservatives reject its Divine authority and preeminence. These “Subjective Conservatives” cannot see out of this box called time, and thus they are oblivious to the realities of Holy Scripture truth. This includes the coming establishment of the literal Kingdom of Almighty God on earth, as well as their own eternity destiny (John 3:3-5; Romans 8:5-8; 1 Cor. 2:12-14; Jude 1:19).

"These “Subjective Conservatives” cannot see out of this box called time, and thus they are oblivious to the realities of Holy Scripture truth. This includes the coming establishment of the literal Kingdom of Almighty God on earth, as well as their own eternity destiny"

Many conservatives in the New Media are on a “suicide alert” today trying to cope with the present realities at hand. One in particular is radio host Michael Savage. He is the most moved and passionate about our declining American culture and government. Sadly though, Mr. Savage and others will not be objective about the realities of Almighty God and His Word to receive its simple message (Acts 16:31; Romans 14:17; 1 Cor. 15:2-4). Why not, you might ask? Well, for one thing a lack of genuine humility will prevent anyone from turning to God and knowing the truth (1 Pet. 5:6; Matt. 11:28-30). Committed and sincere but blinded in their pride, they are thus doomed to their own subjective world view of reality (John 5:37-41; Rom. 7:24-25).

Subjective Conservatives also sadly remain subjects of this world (humanity and time) in which they live, and they will not be objective about their eternal future and their humanity’s desperate need for a Savior (Rom. 1:17-22; 8:5-8; 1 Cor. 2:12-14). They are totally oblivious to realizing our greatest and most desperate need: the righteousness (perfection) of Almighty God which has been provided through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 10:2-4).

The Only Hope for the Conservative

In a day in which we see the utter abandonment of God-given common sense and moral laws, the unrestrained increase of governmental tyranny, and the collapse of our nation’s economy, may the Conservative abandon his subjective (unreal) worldview in favor of an objective one found only in Almighty God and His Word!

Only Almighty God has the remedies and solutions to get us through time and bring us safely into eternity future! Our greatest need is not world peace but peace with Almighty God our Creator and Sustainer (Isaiah 9:6; Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:14). Our greatest need is not conservative moral values but the absolute righteousness (godly perfection) that Almighty God provides to His fallen creation, i.e., man (Rom. 5:12-19; 6:23; 10:4).

It is only when a man or woman, boy or girl abandons their subjective, temporal perspective and looks outside themselves to Almighty God and His saving grace that Almighty God will deliver that individual from the oppressive confines of this sinful world bound in time. Time is only but the womb of eternity. Eternity is where we will abide forever.

"Our greatest need is not world peace but peace with Almighty God our Creator and Sustainer. Our greatest need is not conservative moral values but the absolute righteousness (godly perfection) that Almighty God provides in Christ to His fallen creation, i.e., man."

May I ask you this very personal question? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, as the Holy Scriptures teach? Almighty God so loved you that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins and mine; that He might deliver you from this present evil world and give you forgiveness, pardon and eternal life (Gal. 1:4; John 3:16-17).

My friend, that is what this life, our temporal existence is all about! It's that simple: To know and worship Him in Spirit and Truth, and to enjoy Him for evermore (John 4:24).

May it be your all-wise decision to place your soul's trust in Christ today. I can promise you this of a surety - that you will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
