Sojourners

Vs.

It is indeed an interesting time in which we live. Have ideological motives gone so far as to rewrite history? It certainly seems so as of late. The Boston Herald recently ran an article saying “Iranian president Ahmadinejad has used anti-Israeli rhetoric and cast doubt on the Holocaust to rally anti-Western supporters at home and abroad, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. Several times he has referred to the Holocaust as a “myth” used to impose the state of Israel on the Arab world.” Also, on a recent CNN exclusive titled “After Jesus”, it was clear that much effort was taken to not render the Jews responsible for the death of Christ. Granted that the cause for Christ’ death was as a propitiation for the elect and isaiah 53 says that it was Gods will to crush him; but there is no reason, in my mind, to disregard history and say that the Jews were not responsible (or indirectly say that) (the program will re-air on Saturday as well as Monday). Albert Mohler also devoted his radio program to discussing it as well as a long blog entry found at albertmohler.com. I wonder how far political correctness is willing to go to remain unoffensive, and how far Ahmadinejad is willing to go to be offensive? It is indeed a strange time in which we live. Here you have two opposite sides essentially promoting a similar view- truth has no place in our culture. Very interesting times, very interesting times.
