We live in a culture which glorifies drunken parties as a right of passage. Even a lot of Christians think this is the natural path: Grow up in a Christian Home—>Sew Your Wild Oats/Rebel—>Dramatic Conversion Experience(DCE). The culture at large will overlook all these indiscretions—if you are a Democrat. If not, the rules of social discourse do not apply to you, but every jot and tittle of any law does. It’s open season. This is how tyranny works. You put down a heavy quilt of rules and regulations, and you selectively enforce them. The ‘in’ crowd does whatever they want and everyone they don’t like can be gotten, we’re only following the law. This is why the serial sexual abuse by the Clintons is overlooked and a Republican who asked someone on a date is lambasted for being a creepy stalker. This is why the drug filled eunuch/homosexual/effete Barry Soetoro is still all but unknown while the acts of Republicans in high school are a topic of national debate.
Being a party girl is what? Cute? Natural? Just how it is? Feminism winning something? Then when she get’s pregnant she becomes the eternal victim-heroine the ‘single mom’.
Instagram ‘model’ Tammy Hembrow, hauled away on a stretcher from a Kardashian party. The mother of two thinks, “When I was 16, I was partying too hard and was a little too rebellious.” Yeah just back it off enough to not end up in the hospital. That will be socially acceptable, your two children be damned. Party on ‘single mom’!
The truth is, she was a sinner then and possibly a sinner now . She chose to make a complete idiot into a father, damning her kid to one of two bad fates. If she got the abortion and became the professor-activist, she is just perpetuating the party girl evil of paganism, as she tramples the body of her child to reach her selfish goal. She drinks wine now from a fine glass rather than whatever cheap beer from a solo cup and she is the head of some feminist studies club at her university. She is a success in our world. But she is merely destroying others as she destroyed herself and her child. And if she had the kid, that’s no guarantee that the party girl has reformed either, she might still be getting hauled out of parties on a slab. There is always a chance she has reformed, and forgiveness should flow easily, but why do we assume this automatically? And what about the abuse this causes to each child individually and to our culture as a whole, as the bodies pile up?
Either way her sins are strangely overlooked, even by Christians. They blame the men, because everyone blames the men. Because feminism won, feminism replaces Original Sin with Males. But when do the feminists get any responsibility? They wanted all the power and the ability to choose and do whatever they wanted. When are the results of those decision attributed to them? Oh they get credit when the results are good, but when they are bad, they get a pass. Everyone blames the men. We forget that Sapphira was struck dead and dragged away independent of her husband. She was complicit, she was also held responsible.
And that gets to the nature of false accusations. When they do occur, where is the punishment? Her words attempted to destroy a man, yet will she be destroyed if they are found to be false? Most of the time the answer is ‘no’. Scripture is clear if you Bear False Testimony, you receive the punishment that the person you are accusing would have received. (Deuteronomy 19:18,19) It’s one of the Ten Commandments. That Commandment is not just about lying it’s about damning someone to judgement based on your words. It’s about corrupting Justice. How apt for a people so obsessed with Social Justice, or at least talking about Social Justice. When you bear false testimony, you corrupt Justice. This is often what Scripture means when it talks about the poor and downtrodden being oppressed. It’s not that we didn’t give them enough things or redistribute enough wealth. It’s that we didn’t give them a fair hearing in court when they brought their complaints before the Magistrate. The Judge was paid off, or someone bore false testimony and the poor and the weak were not able to get Justice. They were not able to have things made right, to have their property restored to them, or to have punishment exacted in exchange for physical violence. Or perhaps they were just thrown in jail to get them out of the way. The rules for a trial were put in place for a reason. They have been sorely bloated in our day. A speedy, fair trial is all but impossible. Judges pass out judgements like they are candy from an eternal candy mountain. He who has the most lawyers wins. But the basic burden of proof, more than one witness, legitimate evidence and the rest of the classic process was put in place to ensure correct outcomes. We throw this out the window in favor of a new system of Social Justice in the Court of Public Opinion:
1. Women are always right. Unless they are conservative or there is another racial minority or sexual perversion in play, they they are always right.
2. A media frenzy is as good as a trial.
3. Democrats alway trump Republicans
4. White men are guilty of everything, and some things we didn’t think up yet.
5. Large companies are wrong, unless they are hip, which means they believe in LGBTQWERTY and murdering babies.
6. Government officials are always right, unless they are white cops.
This is the stupid we all need to stop tolerating. DCE is not as important as generational faithfulness, of the type practiced by every Christian until the past few generations. By allowing this to be the norm we are complicit. And more specifically to these types of accusations. Take into account what wisdom should teach us. Men tend to sin overtly by doing violent brash things like rape. Women tend to sin by subtle manipulative things like lying. Both are very destructive. Neither is acceptable in the eyes of God.
Of course this does not excuse the behavior of any male, the party girl’s father, her first abusive boyfriend or the guy who got her pregnant without marrying her. But being hard on men is not a thing our culture currently struggles with. Our culture, right now, has a problem with holding any woman to account, for any sin any where any time. There are many single moms who have been put in a tough situation, abandoned, or abused by men. There are women who have become widows. But there are also many party girls who are treated like widows unfairly. And in some communities this is encouraged, in many cases because of the social status bump in promises. It is certainly encouraged by our welfare system. This is not grace, this is cultural enablement. It is lowering the standard and allowing evil to take over. And sentencing future generations to a bad life. That’s not love. That’s not Christianity. It’s stupid.
