How censoring bad ideas threatens your freedom - AUTHENTIC with Shawn Boonstra

[@kyrilascully7828]

Always challenging and thought-provoking. I need this in my life, but I find few pastors willing to challenge people any more. Thank God for ministers like Pastor Noel A. Rose in South Florida. He is a lot like Pastor Boonstra, and I learned so much from him - in fact I dedicated my newest book RAISE US FROM THE DEAD to him and the associate Pastor Ian Binns. Maybe it's a Jamaican thing, but they know their Bibles and know how to share it concisely, and simply, yet raise the bar of understanding the intelligence of their congregation.

The internet is all private companies. They can do what they want. Book stores never sold books they didnt want to. Editors never published books they didnt want. We need to start using the internet as a resource and not a forum. We have to stop being led around like sheep and stay away from their sites.

the bible says:" Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" John Boonstra says: Forget all of that. Well, he need the donations

The truth has a way of coming out, let those words be shouted loudly

13:30 Shawn, should your phone calls be censored? The phone companies are private companies.

So you believe "censoring bad ideas threatens your freedom"? Tell me brother, do you ever censor things you don't agree with?

[@eugenelombard960]

Censoring ideas do not solve problems. It creates animosity. If I don't like something I want the freedom to say so.

[@martinlohne5128]

@@eugenelombard960 I agree with you however Shawn doesn't practice what he preaches. At the time I'm posting this, according to KZbin, there have been nine comments to this thread and only six appear. That means three threads have been removed. On 3/6/21 Voice of Prophecy posted "The Will to Power | Authentic" on KZbin" which was about an infidel. Regarding said individual, Shawn said, “You can’t read his books and not notice how brilliant he is.” I posted the following quotation with no added commentary of my own. “Suffer not yourselves to open the lids of a book that is questionable. There is hellish fascination in the literature of Satan. It is the powerful battery by which he tears down a simple religious faith. Never feel that you are strong enough to read infidel books; for they contain a poison like that of asps.” Fundamentals of Christian Education page 93. By 3/9/21 my post had been removed. It would appear that Shawn was offended by the Lord's Messenger.

The Bible is clear we should ponder on whatever is pure, lonely , honest, just, etc., and we can share the importance of that message! The thing I understand is that our Creator God gave us free will, and we can share the treasures of the Holy Bible, but we cannot force anyone to follow them! Jesus is our example in all things , and would He have us violate the freedom if others , may we pray that the Holy Spirit speaks to us , and others on this principle of God's character! I believe that the second coming of Jesus is even at the door, and may you be found on the side our Heavenly Father calls you to! Maranatha!
