I saw on the news that Sarah Palin has come under attack for the same issues that our pastor referred to as the issues of our day: abortion and homosexuality. I have to say that I wasn't surprised that she was being attacked for her beliefs, but I was surprised to hear her church referred to as a " sect" of the evangelical church.
Always before this type of language has referred to a very negative thing - think about where you have heard this word used - ever heard of a "polygamist sect" yeah - me too, of course we don't think polygamy is correct, even main stream mormons don't believe in that. So sect is a word used to describe a radical group of people who are dangerous to society as a whole - polygamist sects are dangerous - we all saw them on the news in their cotton candy colored dresses marched up and down the court house stairs - children were abused, women were abused - all in all it was sickening.
Where else have you heard that word used - ever heard of a "radical muslim sect" that means those people are terrorists - they believe in a war to be waged on innocent people - again they are a danger to society as a whole.
So does speaking against sin make you a part of an "evangelical sect"? If you do share your beliefs are you a danger to society as a whole? Is the day coming when Christians will be arrested for their beliefs?
