The culture's prevailing moral arguments, regardless of
existing authoritative sources; and how they are conveyed:*
1. "If 'The Truth' offends,**
then it cannot be Truth!"
Further...
2. "The Truth that "offends," is: ALWAYS
judgmental, ungracious, hateful, unloving and un-Christlike...."
Finally...
3. "Therefore, the ONLY Truths, that are Truly True
(and good), are the ones that most affirm the inner perceptions of ourselves;
and our perception of any reality outside of ourselves..."
.........................
* (Even) Lovingly, Graciously, Kindly, Honestly...
** (Subjectively) Hurts feelings, Disaffirms, Causes Angst,
Discourages...
Consider:
...Christ's "Christlikeness"
34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the
earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own
household.’
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is
not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not
worthy of me.
38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not
worthy of me.
39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses
their life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:34-39
(Context: Matthew 10:16-39)
