THE SIMPLE QUESTION "WOKE CHRISTIANS" CANNOT ANSWER.

by | Apr 16, 2021 | Christianity Today | 27 comments

‘Wokeness’ begins with platitudes about race, justice, and equality. Going from that to hard facts, fairness, and a workable plan seems to elude the ‘woke folk’. When pinned down to practical solutions, their brain drain is often instant and they begin to ramble and say things that make no sense in the real world.  The sure sign that you are a leftist is that you confuse feeling with thinking.

That two-step transition from ranting to incoherence is perfectly embodied in Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Watch her work. She begins, as I just said, with tirades against evil. After that it is grim, indeed. She simply makes no sense.

As Scott Moorefield said, “…just about everything that comes out of the young congresswoman-elect’s mouth is either patently untrue, ridiculously unworkable, unintentionally hilarious, or ripped straight from the pages of Das Kapital (in which case it’s all of the above).”

She compared Global Warming to World War II. “the last time we had a really major existential threat in this country was around World War II. So, we’ve been here before, and we have a blueprint of what we did before. None of these things are new ideas. What we had was an existential threat in the context of a war, and what we did was that we chose to mobilize and industrialize our entire economy and we put hundreds of thousands if not millions of people to work in defending our shores and defending this country.”

Doesn’t everyone immediately think, “Hey, let’s do to global warming what we did to the Nazis?” 

The same mental drain occurs when you question—if they let you—the ‘Woke Christian.’ They begin by representing the Left as being more like the organic message of Jesus, in that they imply, ‘We care for the poor and fight for justice for the disenfranchised.’

Ask them this: “Do you believe the Bible is the complete and inerrant Word of God?” Watch closely what happens next. They either do not know what the Bible says, or they do know, but do not believe it to be God-breathed.

Here is a list of the ways ‘Wokeness’ clashes with the Bible.

-Biblical marriage can only be between a man and a woman, because the Bible recognizes only male and female genders (Genesis 5:2).

-The Bible states that human life begins in the womb, thus making abortion murder (Luke 1:15).

-The Bible’s definition of love makes it racism to hate, censor, or refuse education, or employment to anyone because of their color, and that includes white people (Galatians 3:28)

-The Bible says Christ is the only way to salvation, so you cannot mix Christ and Islam (John 14:6)

-The Bible says that if you do not take care of your own family first, you are worse than an infidel and have denied the faith. Open borders does not help those coming to this country illegally. On the contrary, it has sent children into sexual slavery.

But what it does to your family is this: It permits criminals to roam your streets undocumented and possibly infected with a new strain of Covid. This is not only irresponsible—but according to the Bible—a sin against your own family (1 Timothy 5:8).

Woke Christians,’ if they do answer the question of the Bible’s divine inspiration, will answer by deflecting—that is, they will quote other scriptures (always out of context) in order to try to cancel the ones they do not agree with. The Bible must be taken as a whole, or not at all. And that, by the way, is another thing the Bible teaches (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Still, others will say that you can be Christian and not believe in the Bible. This is utter madness because it turns the central authority away from God and His Word and places it on subjective human feelings. So, now, you can call yourself a Christian and believe in anything. This is the same credo that drives the transgender movement, “I self-identify” (Jeremiah 17:9).

-The Bible instructs us to meet together and to resist government lockdowns based on our faith (Hebrews 10:25; Acts 4:19).

The ‘Woke Christian’ is agreeing to policies that are anti-Bible, and are agreeing with people who hate the Bible, and are at war with the Church. 

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them that is inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership does right standing with God have with iniquity? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? What agreement can there be between a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them and will walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people” (2 Corinthians 6:14-16).

If ‘woke Christians’ cannot answer the question about the authority of the Bible, likewise, they will not be able to answer this question, ‘How can you support an agenda that is unambiguously anti-Christ, and then call yourself Christian?’

P.S. A message to those who support Mario Murillo’s mission to America.

John Wesley started 700 churches on three continents. One of his edicts to his young preachers was this: Always bring books for the people that will help them to grow.

We found a way to both do that and win souls. As you can imagine, a blog with this much traffic can sell advertising—something we refuse to do. What we do, is offer you materials that are chosen because they can make you armed and dangerous for Christ. The proceeds from the book and flash drive go to soul winning.

Some are offended that we offer books at all. We hope they will try to understand the two-fold blessing of offering this material. Thank you.

Our current special offer features our two most popular items: Treasury flash drive and Vessels of Fire and Glory together plus a free surprise gift from Mario Murillo Ministries.

Free shipping! And again, the proceeds go to soul winning. Order now

    I have been thinking about the foreign children and how Christian Governor’s are making laws to keep them out. I understand that they are here illegal but Christ was not unkind to sojourners. There are a ton of Bible verses that tell us how we are to treat them. Our President is wrong to have let them in but they are here now and we need to help.

    Years ago when I and my friends would street witness or go door to door, I would run into all sorts of religious people that were obviously living a lifestyle of sin and still say they were right with God.
    Now it’s gotten to the point that we see people that claim to be Christians shaming true believers for living clean.
    Mocking righteous standards.
    Trying to poison new converts with ungodly doctrine.
    (Matt 15:14-Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.)
    Have you noticed that rebellious backsliders proselytize on there way out the door manipulating and contaminating as many as possible?
    (1 Samuel 15:23
    For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king.)
    Wokeness in the church is simply a religious cloak to cover sin and defend iniquity from exposure.
    The human conscience is a gift but continually disobedience a thick layer of scar tissue upon that conscience rendering it numb to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
    Thank you Jesus for men of God that are aiming toward the high call and not compromised.
    Bless you Mario

      People claiming to be Christians. Are they really Christians if they ignore the whole scripture?? At what point does God turn them over to a “reprobate mind”?? They said the sinner’s prayer but went no further or the hirelings who call themselves “pastors” don’t teach scripture. So will they go to hell?

      • Aaron Jackson

        Your ? % correct!!
        The word “Christian”unfortunately has been watered down as a generalization.
        Probably need to ad the word “Saved”or “Born again”when we refer to people that are in right relationship to Jesus and making heaven there home.

    • Bri H Loftis

      Yes, I agree!

  3. C. Jones

    The Woke Christians are sucked into a self imposed deception, who do not receive the love of the truth in order to be saved. They are ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Every one of them does what is right in their own eyes, twisting the scriptures to their own destruction.

  4. Linda C

    Amen!!! Preach it, Mario!!
    Praying so much for Modesto! May God’s Spirit fall as tongues of fire on all!

  5. Linda

    Thank you Mario! You are an appreciated voice in the desert!

  6. Suzanne Meier

    Mario, praying for Modesto outreach, wish we could be there!

    Mario, you said… “ The sure sign that you are a leftist is that you confuse feeling with thinking.”. AOC (and many others) in a nut-shell (pun intended). This is oh so true and is actually by design.
    Our society, over the last few generations, has actually been PROGRAMMED to react to situations by EMOTION instead of being able to THINK RATIONALLY about issues. This was one of many proposals of the think tank Tavistock Institute as a way to weaken, demoralize and overthrow a society or nation. It is working quite well as half of our nation (or more) no longer have critical thinking skills and react emotionally to every situation. At this point, ONLY DIRECT INTERVENTION BY GOD will be able to de-program the Leftists and create within them a new heart and mind.

    What we need is guidance on how to pray for them. And against the devil spirits that influence or control them.
    Also guidance of how to speak in tongues over them. What our focus should be.

    • Bri H Loftis

      When you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit prays through you. He knows what to pray.
      For people I know who are away from the Lord, I always pray that God remove the blinders from their eyes and minds and unstop their ears. I ask Him to do whatever it takes to bring them the truth and into the Kingdom. Then I pray in tongues for them.

  9. Bri H Loftis

    Thank-you for this post! I am praying that the Great Awakening brings these people into the Kingdom. I can’t call them Christians, bcs they are not. They may be church members. Big difference.
    Praying that God do above all you could ask or think for Modesto.

  10. Bri H Loftis

    When you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit prays through you. He knows what to pray.

    Those accusing all white people of racism, and slandering/labeling all of America with systemic racism, are only exposing the hatred in their own hearts, exposing that they are the racists and race-baiting to cause further division and fear and strife. Jesus is the only one who can purify hearts, refine gold by fire, and make us whiter than snow in his Blood; save us by his Name; teach us by his Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus!

    Mario…this morning in the Oceanside, “Set Free Church” food line… a buddy was already there and the last person in the 2 person line…he brought his cart and left it in line to join me at my van, parked 30 feet away…2 Mexican females, looking like mother and daughter, walked up and got into line behind my friends cart and the other one person, ahead of his cart…as the line grew, we went back to his cart…I said excuse us ladies, as I walked up to his cart and we only there for less than a minute…and they got loud and cackling…crowding and bumping into us…it subsided, because we paid ZERO attention to it!!! About 5 minutes later, my stocking cap fell off of my head and behind me…as I reach to pick it up, the younger Mexican gal intentionally put her foot on it!!! I tugged slightly, she pressed down harder…so I immediately, smacked her Ugg clad shin, which removed her foot from my cap and I picked it up and put it back on and turned back around…only to get taunted from now 5 people…for the next 20 minutes while we ate!!! She claimed she would call the cops and get me put in jail for assaulting a woman!!! But I waited there, fellowshipping with my buddy for another 1.5 hours…and none of the 3 cops appearing during this time, came to me!!! She also indicated, I’ll get to meet her husband and I’m supposed to be worried about that!!! I’ve met plenty…no worries…ABOUT ANYTHING!!!
    [image: SANCTUARYschools.jpg] THEY ARE TAUGHT THAT RACIAL HATRED…YOUNG…OFTEN, THE YOUNGEST IN THE FAMILY, IS TAUGHT THAT HATRED FROM THE WHOLE FAMILY!!! AND NOW, BEING TAUGHT THAT BY THE MEDIA, CORPORATIONS AND THE GOVERNMENT!!!
    AOC…IS ATTEMPTING TO HDE RACISM…WITH STUPIDITY!!!

    I love the way you put all of that into perspective!!!
    The Bible teaches us in Jeremiah 1:5 that He knows us before we are conceived in the womb.
    Human life begins at conception. So Many Scriptures about it that it’s undeniable!
    And then there’s the one that says;
    Proverbs 24:11-12
    11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
    12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
    Just wanted to say, Your mother is one of my hero’s.

    God Bless you Mario. You are rare & God is using you in a Big way. I first read your books & came to your meetings in the mid 1980s. I am so thankful God spoke to my heart to find you again. Truth, you speak Truth & what is truly in the heart of so many warriors.

  16. pkadams

    We as the American church are LOSING the younger generation . If the only language they understand is social justice , then speak that language . We can’t dismiss their concerns . They need to see that Christians care about justice and the poor . “If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless. 27Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1

    I am so excited about Pastor Mario’s meetings this coming week. I am praying that this will break something in the Spirit and there will be the beginning of a real turnaround, not just for this area, but for all of California, and across the nation.
    It has to happen. We must stand up for our rights right now or it will be too late before long. I watched Mike Lindell speaking live at the Health and Freedom Conference today (it was aired live on OAN, good for them!), and he was terrific. He is fearless just like Pastor Mario is. He has the same spirit as Mario. It is incredible what they have done, and are trying to do, to this wonderful man, and he just keeps standing up to them. It is such a pleasure to watch! Pray for Mike and for Mario, every day.
    Because of people like them, and Hank Kunneman, Perry Stone, and others, I see hope for this nation. Stand, Saints! Sign petitions, write letters to newspapers, comment online with informed facts and statistics, know our history, do not back down to bullies.
    I was just at a thrift store in town and as I stood in line, I thought, “Nothing has changed. Everyone is still masked up, six feet apart, daring to get close or touch anyone..and here we are, with 160 million people vaccinated and that does not count those who have had the virus and recovered and are immune/non-contagious. Anyone who thinks this is about the government being concerned about our health is kidding themselves. Democrat leaders at every level have had a taste of power and are at the table with the big boys now and they are loving it. They are not about to let go of their new-found “importance” any time soon.

  19. Jim D.

    Amen Mario. Praying for an overflowing outpouring of the Holy Spirit on your Modesto meetings next week!
    Jan Markell’s “Understanding The Times” blogs the last two weekends had excellent teachings along these lines via her guest speakers Curtis Bowers and pastor Jack Hibbs. Great insights regarding what’s currently happening in America culture, churches, and “woke’ population:
    “Satan, along with the World Economic Forum, are blinding many on the left as they rush to tyranny. Jan Markell and Curtis Bowers discuss how the woke movement has entered the church, Christian colleges and seminaries. Bowers concludes if Lenin were in the White House, he would be doing what the current administration is doing.”
