I am an Oppressor.

I am an Oppressor by Accusation.

They are Victims by Choice.

My son, an oppressor by race as defined by Critical Race Theory, does not know he is an oppressor. A victim non-bully (victims can’t be bullies regardless of their actions because victims say they can’t be bullies) walked up to him on the first day of class and stole his lanyard. My son the oppressor walked up to the non-bully and took it back. The victim was surprised that my son the oppressor was so bold; because he was the minority oppressor in a middle school of hundreds of victims.

I have been seriously mentally ill for 40 years. So, I am a victim. But because of my skin color I am an oppressor. So, am I a victim and an oppressor equally? or does my oppressorhood trump my victimhood? or does my victimhood trump my oppressorhood?

I got one of the right meds for my mental illness 30 years ago. And I have discovered other meds that help since then. Ten years ago, I became a Certified Peer (of the Seriously Mentally Ill) Support Specialist. I had healed and made my life so much better that I was hired as a mental health professional to help others find healing and help them make their lives better.

One of the things I experienced and dealt with during my mental illness was delusions. A delusion is a lie that is believed. My lived experience with delusions brought me to the conclusion that they are harmful. And therefore, I would not reinforce my or anyone else’s delusions.

Some XY’s (with male chromosomes), who are oppressors, claim to be XX’s (female by imagination, male by chromosomes) and so attain Super-victim status immediately. Their claim that they are XX is a delusion, a lie. Their body may have had cosmetic changes, but their brain and body is XY. Their thoughts are produced by a brain that is structurally and functionally different than an XX (with female chromosomes) brain. XY’s have never had an XX thought with their XY brain. They are not XX. They are male bodied, male brained, with an imagination. They are what a male thinks a female thinks like.

Falsely claiming this is a civil rights issue (it is really a mental health issue) political coercion has been applied to society by those suffering from this delusion. Now not only the mentally ill, and even many non-mentally ill mental health professionals, are acting as though they believe this delusion.

I asked my supervisor to see what the mental health organization I worked at thought about my views – as I saw myself not complying with this trans-delusion. HR asked me if I would use preferred pronouns and I said: “I would not call a man a woman.” It is a lie and because I follow Jesus I am not going to lie to my clients and reinforce their delusion.

They fired me immediately.

I don’t have a job, I was fired because I speak the Truth of Jesus.

They have a job, because they choose to be delusional.

I would rather know Jesus and be without a job than be delusional with a job.

How about you?

A different concept of conflict . . .

2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NASB95)

    4      . . .for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

    5      We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. . .

Followers of Jesus have a different concept of conflict. Our goal is not to destroy the one against us or against the Truth, but rather that they may have the chance to know the Truth for themselves. When they realize we are not against them, but rather against evil, they have a choice to make. They can listen to the Truth, follow the Truth, and ask the Truth to live in them. Or, they can reject the Truth and go their own way. They will then find they will be fighting against God. Justice will be done by God, and they will find themselves forever without God.

Our “weapons” are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, long-suffering, truth, justice, mercy, forgiveness . . .  The “fortresses” we are destroying by these “weapons” are lies, deceit, injustice, hatred of God, hatred of people, and thoughts against the love of Jesus. There is no law against this.

Disclaimer: Anyone can claim to be a Christian. Check to see if they act like Jesus of the Bible. If they don’t, they are not a Christian. If they do, but are saying things you don’t like, check the Bible.

Jesus’ love for evil people is greater than their evil actions

What President Biden, his handlers, and the rest of the communists don’t understand is that Christians who trust Jesus aren’t afraid of them.

They can take our possessions, our freedom, our lives. But Jesus said to us:

4 “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
Luke 12:4 (NASB95)

Why do we not fear? Because our King, our Friend and our God takes care of us personally.

And because tyrants cannot instill fear in those who trust Jesus, tyrants have no power over them.

We who trust Jesus will NOT fight with guns or anything else. We will not fight physically at all.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
2 Corinthians 10:3–4 (NASB95)

The above verses are NOT saying we who trust Jesus will physically: fight, war, or destroy anyone or anything. The “flesh” means using our own strength. We will NOT use our own strength. We will use divinely powerful strength, that is, the Word of God (Jesus) and Talking to Jesus (prayer). And the Father will send Jesus through His Holy Spirit in power.

Jesus will intercede on our behalf, and He will use the Words of the Bible to tell the truth about anyone who has lied, deceived, betrayed, taken bribes, and murdered.

20   Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

21   Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! 

23   Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
Isaiah 5 (NASB95)

What does “woe to” mean in this case? “Woe to” only means that when those who have done these things stand before Jesus, they will no longer be able to lie to themselves or deny the truth of what they have done. They will know they did it, it was their fault, it was their choice, it was their responsibility. They will know that Jesus offered forgiveness and Himself to them and they spit in His face. And for the rest of eternity, they will ask themselves over and over: Why didn’t I love Him when I had the chance?

But wait.

This is not how it has to end.

Jesus loves President Biden (not his actions), He loves President Biden’s handlers (not their actions) and He loves communists (not communism or communists’ actions).

5   For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.
Psalm 86:5 (NASB95)

If President Biden, or anyone, will call out to Jesus in truth Jesus will hear
them with “abundant . . . lovingkindness.” Because He is “good, and ready to forgive.”

So, go ahead. Change your destiny. Call on Him. He is waiting to hear from you right now.

100% JESUS

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:14,27
