That is one reason "feelings" and "compassion" are two of the most often used liberal terms. "Character" is no longer a liberal word because it implies self-restraint. "Good and evil" are not liberal words either as they imply a moral standard beyond one's feelings. In assessing what position to take on moral or social questions, the liberal asks him or herself, "How do I feel about it?" or "How do I show the most compassion?" -- not "What is right?" or "What is wrong?" For the liberal, right and wrong are dismissed as unknowable, and every person chooses his or her own morality. -- Dennis Prager
Although Dennis refers to "liberalism" in this quote, it applies to the whole spectrum of the so-called left: Socialists, Communists (International Socialists), National Socialists, and Transnational Socialists (Progressives).
An example of this can be seen in an incident related by Jeff Hamilton of La Vista, Nebraska. He relates the response to one of his web articles encouraging young people to reject pre-marital sex: 'Though not the author’s intention, I received an illustration of this very thing. “When you look over these posts and see how miserable and guilty the children that you advise feel about their "sins" don't you regret the way you teach? God loves us all no matter what mistakes we make and it would be nice to find some Christians that teach the love and not the wrath. Unless the reader can read and clearly understand Hebrew, Arabic, and many of the other languages of the original Bible, I think it is almost hypocritic to spread guilt based on third and fourth level translations. I don't mean to criticize and I definitely respect what you are doing, I think its great trying to help young men and women with their most intimate of problems, but maybe sometimes the answer shouldn't just be 'you've sinned, you're making up excuses.' It's clear that some people have justified pre-marital sex in their own lives and you will likely be unable to change that, but your practical advise on what actions to take should be based on if they continue their ways. I’m sure would be much more valuable to them than judging them. It's not our place to judge or dictate who has the rights of passage into our father's [sic] kingdom. Although I don't expect it to, I will pray that my wisdom has a flicker on your thoughts.”'
As Jeff Hamilton points out:
1. Here is a man who doesn’t care about right and wrong, he just doesn’t want anyone to feel guilty.
2. Here is a man who thinks that no one can do wrong.
3. Here is a man sitting in judgment when someone teaches God’s truth.
Sadly, that means this man is a perfect example of a typical liberal.
Paul the Apostle warned us of this (and gave us the solution), in Ephesians 4:14-16.
It is one that applies both in the church and in the community.
