Ever
noticed how the government/media cow-tow to Islam and consistently bash
and attack Christianity, especially Catholicism. Ever wonder why?
Check this thought.
Basically in Gen 1-2 God presents Himself to Adam and Eve as a loving Father, who is to be trusted.
In Gen 3, Satan sets up God as a master who is in competition with man. ("He knows that when you eat of it you will be like him, knowing good and evil.")
Check these comparisons.
Gen 2
God = Loving Father
Adam = Son (Image and Likeness)
Law = Given for Happiness
Motive of Adam = Trust
Gen 3
God = Master
Adam = Slave
Law = Control and Power
Motive of Adam = Fear
So what does that have to do with the riots in the middle east and anti-Christian/Catholic bias?
Simple.
Look at Gen 3, This is a summary of Islam. Islam means submission,
submission to God who is a Master. Islam sees God as a Master who is to
be served as a slave serves a Master.
The Media/Government/Culture sees God exactly the same way, as a Master who is trying to enslave them.
See, when a slave is enslaved to a Master they only have one of two choices:
1) Submission
2) Rebellion
So
Muslims and the media/government/culture see God precisely the same
way, they just take different actions against that same God; Submission
vice Rebellion.
This
is why the media/gov/culture will always cow-tow to Islam and attack
Catholicism, because the fundamental world-view is the same, God is a Master. While the fundamental world view of Catholicism is the Covenant Love that God desires to establish with His human creatures. And He provides a law to those same human creatures to help them to remain in that Covenant Love, that Covenant Family. This is much in the same way a human father provides a law for his children, for their benefit.
Unfortunately,
many so called Christians/Catholics see God the same way the culture
and Muslims do, as a dictator who is attempting to enslave them.
Authentic
Catholicism sees that God - Yahweh Elohim - is a loving Father who
provides a law for our happiness. Our motive for our adherence to that
same law is Trust in Him. That is just simply something that Muslims
and the culture cannot accept. So they will always find comfort in each other. Their shared worldview will always contradict the worldview of Catholicism.
