Racist fish names change. No, this is not Babylon Bee satire

[Brother-Paul]

Only a Few will be saved, not half a few. Not some, FEW! and Many will not! MANY! It is scary and frightening, friends, love ones, neighbors, fellow workers, for many will not make it. That hurts! it HURTS! They will know why, we sounded the alarm so hard.

And why are they not saved brother?

John 3:18-21
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God

They are not born again from above. They prefer the wicked temporal things of this world.

They chose their own destiny

19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

But then.... are they really "Christians"? If Christian means following Christ, and they aren't really following Christ, then....

Are 'we' really Christians, then? Yes, we / I am. We are human beings -- Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

People tend to go to the extremes in both cases. I prefer hymn singing over P/W singing. There are churches I've been in that believe in singing the dryest , longest hymns of 5 and 6 verses. Singing every one of those verses.

What is wrong with 'once saved always saved'? eternal security based on Ephesians 1:13 - 14. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Spirit Spirit of promise. vs 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. "

When the Holy Spirit comes to indwell a person Upon their salvation, He Does make a positive change in their lives. A problem Can arrise when pressure is put on a person to 'hurry up and accept' because the congregation is 'waiting'. The person Should be taken to another room and talked with. Find out what the person understands About salvation -- Jesus Christ, etc.

And 'walking the aisle' has no bearing on a person's salvation.

Few are a LOT when talking about millions , Billions of people who've lived and died, are living Now, and will be born in the future.

We Are to share the Gospel unto salvation with all who will listen.

What's with the pic of the fish -- haven't seen one of those in a long time. Supposed to stand for 'something'.

Few means FEW, not half maybe some, But Jesus said FEW

NASB 1977
“For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.
NASB 1977
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
New American Standard Bible
And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
New American Standard Bible
For many are called, but few are chosen.”

(LUKE 13)BSB
23“Lord,” someone askedHim, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered, 24“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

New American Standard Bible(1 Peter 3)
who once were disobedient when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.

And The Bible said: ONLY NOAH, NOT his wife, not his sons, neither his daughter-in-Laws. NOAH was the Only one who walked, with GOD, in His time.

New American Standard Bible
These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

New American Standard Bible
Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.

New American Standard Bible
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. .............[ Not his wife, sons, daughter-in-laws].....Only......NOAH and everyone else, The intents of the Thoughts of their hearts was only "EVIL Continually

Because its satanic, divide and conquer. Seperating races, nations, women vs men, calling women birth providers instead of mums. All demonic.

"For those who were assigned female at birth."
A line in a commercial for a new HIV drug and indicating it's approved for use by women.

How about for use by those who identify as binary?

Maybe it's me but ever since SCOTUS wrongly ruled gay marriage is a 14th amendment issue and right, the circus of the absurd is growing in scope and influence.

 

[BunnyOnion]

You really think the way we name some fish has a bearing on our salvation?

Why not?
Supplanting the name of a fish using an artificial grievance , racism, implants a paradigm of concession grounded in appeasement.

Classify something as offensive, then insinuate a method of correction that nullifies the offense for the public good.

Take the term Hate Speech.
SPLC now generates a "Hate Map" that flags areas in America where they have identified hate groups to be operating.
This to include conservative Bible believing conservative Christian groups. Like in 2010, when they named American Family Association (AFA) to be an anti-gay hate group.
AFA holds to scripture that calls gay sex a sin.
Therefore SPLC classifies AFA as promoting hate speech. And as such they qualify as a hate group.

What correlation is that to renaming a fish?
Identifying something as offensive implies a requisite correction toward non-offense.

Ergo, Asian Carp being deemed racist fixes the fish's Asian origin in its taxonomy as implying its invasive nature is an implication against a people.

Classifying a conservative Christian organization as a hate group for holding to scripture regarding the sin of sodomy by allusion blankets all such Christians as vested in the same offense for the same reason. But by that designation of hate group, correlates the groups origin of belief, the Bible, as hate speech.
Because the group that is judged to hate gays, by that designation of hate group, garners their hate ideology from a source that promotes said hate.

In simple terms, a concession to Snowflake and Karen sensitivities is a deathknell for freedom of thought and speech.

Because when speech is prosecuted it necessarily imparts censor against free thought. Because thought precedes speech.

It's nothing to do with splc, hate speech or AFAs position on homosexuality.

There's an environmental concern about four species of non-native carp that are causing problems in some parts of the US. It could get worse if they spread.

Collectively they've been called Asian Carp.

Environmetal bodies need to do an aggressive campaign to get the numbers of these fish under control.

At a time when racism and violence against Asians in America is growing, an aggressive campaign against any labelled Asian is at least a bad look, and at worst could help stoke anti-Asian violence.

So the easy thing to do is to re-label these four species of fish "invasive carp" or similar, and let environmentalists so their job with being hindered by racial sensitivities.

Nobody is being censored, sued or accused of hate speech on this issue.

The fish was a symbol early Christians used as a means of showing others they are, fishers of men, followers of Christ Jesus.

The fish symbol is called an 'ichthus', it started out as shown by @Waggles, without the words Jesus in the centre.

Although it was carved into stone in some places, it was due to persecution of Christians that the symbol was used.

The most common use was to make a sign of the fish in the sand or earth, if the other person did the same they knew they were followers of Christ.

Today it is used more openly, often as a symbol on a vehicle, sometimes with the words Jesus within, sometimes not.

As persecution of Christians increases the old method may be used again in the future.

, In Hebrew term, Being "bewitched" and being lead astray. And Satan was more:
Amplified Bible
Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made.
Christian Standard Bible
Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made.

I wish i could use some "Ghetto Vernacular", The common man's Language. Universal.

King James Bible
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
New King James Version
These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.

Proverbs 12:26
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: BUT the way of the wicked seduceth them.

PUT ON, "ALL YOUR ARMOR!" SO YOU CAN TAKE THE SCALES From off of your eyes. "And He that is ignorance let him be ignorant still"

And the one who is trying to lead your astray, let him or her be DAMN!

(Galatians 1)NASB 1977
" I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ."

YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET, Just wait, when GOD remove the "Restrainer" and when He send that Red Horse out, and that GREAT SWORD! He will make the devil look like a "Choir Boy"

"And when He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men should slay one another; and a great sword was given to him."

And GOD is just warming up! And the Devil is going to try to find a place to hide!f

"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, AND threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

An Angel did this,,,,, Not JESUS, Not GOD........ an Angel

JUST WAIT, if you think a man, a demon. even a Devil, can be "TERRORIZING", YOU AIN'T Seen nothing Yet! Wait until GOD crack that SKY, You are going to get a Good Look At LOVE!

 

[Brother-Paul]

Personal option if I may, I agree calling them by another name, invasive carp or another name could remove what could be considered as finger pointing at a group, removing the word Asian, that said if they originally from Asia they are Asian Carp.

Will it solve the problem, no! Why do I say that, simples, latter days of the end time, the issue is satan not a word Asian or any other.

Anti semitism, racial discrimination, and hatred of all kinds is rampant all across the world, it won't get better,it will get worse.

The end is near, O come Jesus, yet not our will but that of the Father's.

Persecution and martyrism is at the door, these things are prophesied, they will happen, they are happening.

He has eyes listen, you can see those who can see the truth and those who have been decieved. It is right before your very eyes. These people are still in the world and listening to strangers tell them what to think and how to behave.
