Why are Christians not to be "left wing" extremists?

Both "wings" can be extremist, left and right wing.  The Left assumes God's laws have perished and are too ancient for today(or biblical values didn't exist) so they value anything that is opposed to biblical values. (I addressed right wing extremist beliefs in this article)  The Right assumes man on his own terms can create a utopia the way their version of God exists.

There are oppressive people in this world.  They exist.  They may be insane, or they may be right in their ways of thinking.  We cannot tell what the creator's plan is for our life.

The bible is written in such a way to HELP humanity overcome its pain and misfortune.  The bible laws do not and will not disappear.


Israel was ALREADY an indigenous people.  They have unique culture, language and skills.  They didn't learn how to write "on their own," it was only by inspiration.  Particularly after the man Moses gave Israel the Law.  Evidence is there of Israel crossing the red-sea, when the proper texts are used.  Some texts are used to "hide" the truth about the bible.  Summarized studies are presented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDVzvD2qoUQ&t=401s

The laws of God are there to protect people from their "sin."  To be a "school master" to bring us to Christ.

If a person says they are "good" but they are catering to extreme things outside of God's laws and ways, they are in error.

Catering to man's pride.  Error.  Catering to man's scorn.  Error.  Catering to man's wacky sexuality choices.  Error.  Catering to laziness.  Error.  So on and so forth.

Pick up reading, memorizing and making a habit of reading Psalm 119.

Psa 119:9-16  BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.  (10)  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.  (11)  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.  (12)  Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.  (13)  With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.  (14)  I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.  (15)  I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.  (16)  I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.


In those words penned by David, sin is seen as a thing that is done against the HOLY GOD.  LOVING GOD.  ALMIGHTY GOD.  The same God that destroyed pharaoh's army without Israel lifting a finger.  A person does NOT want to forget GOD and his goodness.

There are many -right wing- Christians who do not KNOW exactly what the bible says and why the bible says what it says. But some do not feel the "need" to go to higher education beyond the age of 5th grade essentially.  Why?  Because God is so good, he CAN be trusted, no matter what.

There is no need to fight evil with evil.

Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.  (Gain wisdom in this world, but maintain humility and innocence through JESUS blood and resurrection glory)

You can still do the things you love to do, before gospel.  Running, hiking, fishing, camping, building, gardening, dancing.  Its just that there are things you should not do which will cause problems for you and others in your "tribe" because God is the one who knows it will cause damage.

In fact, if a person caters so much to "left wing" extreme beliefs, they may have issues with rebellion.  Rebellion can lead to major issues like spreading of STD's.  Bearing false witness against people.  Legal inappropriate behavior (letting a family of many children go without income) while a person of perverted lifestyle gains all money and more.  It could lead to murder of innocent disabled people.  It could even lead to suicide and early death.  It could lead to practices of euthanasia.  It could lead to misleading the people to trust terrorists.

The bible exposes and Christians HAVE the heart to practice brotherly and sisterly love, so there is no need to cater to something that is created to be a phony -institutionalized movement- by right-wing extremists, just because they practice this and that.   The bible already indicates certain -neutral- religious practices are practiced by people who followed Jesus.  Fasting, modest headscarf dress, regular prayer and bible study and more.  Some Christians have even gone so far as to celebrate a love from a polygyny perspective, without going against the grains and fibers of the bible. Link  Others simply trust the bible enough to avoid certificates and institutional life altogether.  Gaining certificates "like they do" will do nothing to stop institutional things from happening.  In fact, it will increase the threat of -institutionalization- of humanity to the point where no man can make decisions for himself.  Everything must be done under one rule and order of a tyrant.

From time to time there are "left wing" extreme Christians.  They believe in "worldly righteousness" and cater to false accusation against PATRIARCHY.  Which the bible is a book of .....well, patriarchy.  Nature itself has PATRIARCHY.  So the methods of going against nature itself and calling oneself a Christian for doing so, are in error.  JESUS himself wants us to forgive.  Even the women caught in ADULTERY was told to "sin no more".....hence she needed to forgive, which would result in her being obedient to God's laws, rather than disobedient.   Yet even MATRIARCHY is also allowed in a godly light rather than a lust-full light, in the penning of scripture.  Furthermore, many institutionalized versions of Christianity have often catered to -left wing- extreme beliefs, due to the reality that the people in the religious positions actually harbored much sin and hypocrisy.  Sometimes this led to persecution of the actual church body of Christians (Truth for Free).

If you have not repented of your sin, and turned away from false god's and idols of this world, you can learn how to do so by 1. reading the bible 2. studying the way to repent through others who have gone before. article  3. If you are new to the bible Good vs. Evil 4. Further resources: Here

Joh_6:51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

In summary, the reason you should not be a part of "left wing" extreme beliefs, groups or practices, is because they do not operate in the light of truth, victory over sin and in the world of unconditional love for humanity.
