Postmodernism appears to be a reaction to modernism that arose after what was
perceived as the failure of modernism to prevent WW I & II. It has been
around since about 1950. Postmodernism is a movement that has
brought enormous change to culture, including change in the arts,
literature, architecture, and religion. Postmodernism is the main
idea responsible for the decay of religion and morals in the West since
1950. Postmodernism is critical of any rule and anything that
sounds absolute. In Postmodernism, there is not absolute truth
because all truth is relative. Diversity and tolerance triumphs
over truth. The greatest evil in postmodernism is to say you have
absolute truth. In postmodernism, your truth is your truth, and my
truth is my truth, and we are to celebrate the diversity of our truths.
The Postmodern mind hates Christ, for He said,
6 Jesus said to him, "I am
the way, and
the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me. John 14:6 (ESV)
Therefore, whether it be Oprah Winfrey saying that there cannot be just
one way to heaven, or Barack Obama referring to the Koran as the Holy
Book of Islam, there is a hatred of Christ and of the Bible among the
elite. The arts, literature and religion are all going in this
same direction at breakneck speed. Television gets filthier by the
day, and movies that are decent for children are harder and harder to
find. Rather than being concerned about our children's real
educational needs, our culture now forces approval of homosexuality on
kindergarteners. When you have no absolute truth, there is no
rational basis for law. Therefore, the fruits of Postmodernism are
prisons overflowing with prisoners. In the absence of absolute
truth, who can tell those prisoners they did wrong?
Yet what lies before us is even worse that what we have so far
experienced. Without absolute truth, there is not rational
paradigm to say that anything is wrong. Without absolute truth,
who can say that the age of consent for sex isn't 12? The North
America Man/Boy Love Association1 would
certainly like to convince you of something like that. You think
this is impossible? Who would have thought that our
kindergarteners would be forced to accept homosexuality as normal
behavior? Do you think America's increasing fascination with Islam is the answer to protecting our
women from violence and our children from pedophiles? If so, then read about
how Islam views women and also the child bride
of Muhammad2,3,4.
In the midst of this increasing chaos called Postmodernism, there is the
Bible. It claims absolute truth. It clams one Savior, and only one
savior for the world. What it calls sin is sin, and we must not
practice it. What it calls righteousness is righteousness, and we must
lift that up and live it out in our daily lives.
Search your mind: are you Postmodern in your thinking? Your probably
are in some respects if you were born after WWII. Realize that the
Western Culture is becoming increasingly polluted, and there is not
rational basis for changing that in the absence of the God-revealed
absolute truth found in the Bible.
