Liberals love to talk about all the words that Shakespeare invented. They love to use words based in mythology. But bring up the influence of the Bible and theyll start hissing like a viper. Everything they claim to be is nothing but a bad imitation of Christianity.
Their delusions have no basis in reality. The Bible has had a greater impact than Shakespeare or Mythology ever could. Not to mention the fact that Shakespeares work, with an estimated 1,350 Biblical references, is proof of this.
As for mythology, the Bible tells a story unlike anything ever told, most of all by myth, which is accurately a synonym for lie.
The Bible is the most influential book ever written.
From the works of Michelangelo to the films of Quentin Tarantino, the Bible is foundational. One of the most powerful scenes in pulp fiction is when Samuel L. Jacksons character quotes Ezekiel 25:17.
Reports about the spread of atheism often imply the death of religion, like its a victory. But really, what they mean is that they hate Christianity. What theyre doing isnt religious, its POLITICAL.
In reality, it could never lead to a post-religion world, because politics is a child to religion, so the collapse of religion would lead to annihilation.
This is not an exaggeration. Society itself is founded on religion. So while atheism may occasionally APPEAR to be on the rise, theres no such thing as an atheistic society.
Some of the Biblical phrases that appear in our everyday language include:
"eye for an eye"land of milk and honeyforbidden fruit"bottomless pit""two-edged sword""God forbid""scapegoatscandalLand of Nodby the sweat of your browapple of my eyefire and brimstoneashes to ashes, dust to dusta man after my own heart"broken heartwits endbite the dustput words in my mouthput your house in order"nothing but skin and bonesby the skin of your teethBehemoth"nothing new under the suna little birdie told merise and shinecan a leopard change his spotseat drink and be merrywriting on the walldrop in a bucketfly in the ointmentfour corners of the earthsee eye to eyesalt of the earthgo the extra milepearls before swinefall by the waysidestraight and narrowwolf in sheeps clothingblind leading the blind"the 11th hourkiss of deathgive up the ghostwash your hands of the matter""the truth will set you freetwinkling of an eyelabor of lovelive by the sword die by the swordfall from gracefight the good fightthe powers that beYou know the famous line from the song Money by Pink Floyd? Its a rip-off of Timothy 6:10.
But the Bible is even more influential than these phrases.
More than a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, the Bible reveals the foundation of language itself. In fact, the philosophical study of language is based on the prologue to the Gospel of John. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Teddy Roosevelt once said that no other book of any kind ever written in English has ever so affected the whole life of a people.
A literary masterpiece written by uneducated men, the Bible is the best-selling book of all time, with between five and seven BILLION copies sold. For reference, an estimated 800 million copies of the Quran, and 200 million copies of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
The Bible is also the most shoplifted book.
It was the first book ever printed, after Johannes Gutenberg chose it as the first book for his printing press. Education as we know it is based on the Bible.
Christianity is the foundation of modern politics and law. Leviticus 25:10 (Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof) appears on the Liberty Bell.
When Martin Luther King Jr. gave his I Have a Dream speech on the National Mall, 250,000 people witnessed a sermon. He referenced four scriptures in the speech. Amos 5:24, Isaiah 40:4, Psalm 30:5, and Galatians 3:28.
Without the Bible, freedom as we know it could not exist. Sure, Plato talked about Democracy 300 years before Jesus came to earth. But Democracy is nothing without the political freedom that Christianity gave us.
The right to a fair trial appears in Deuteronomy 19:15 and Exodus 21:2325.
Christian monks founded the earliest health care systems using the principles of the Bible as their guide.
The Lefts obsession with destroying Christianity is the same as their obsession with destroying Western society.
They remind me of Daniel 7:25, which describes the Antichrist, And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
They speak like children, they understand like children, they think like children. Ultimately, theyre just hypocrites, who may be able to evaluate the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.
