January 25, 2012 – 2 Peter 2:11 - 3:18

“They promise them freedom, though they themselves are slaves” 2:19 This is a perfect statement about what the secular world describes as freedom. I will put a couple of links below. One is the popular video about loving Jesus but hating religion. He obviously does not understand the true nature of freedom. Freedom is not about living beyond all rules and boundaries, but living inside the boundaries set up by God so you can be truly free from sin that enslaves. You are completely free to choice to live in sin, but sin enslaves and the boundaries are there to protect you from those sins. I wouldn’t be very responsible if I didn’t link to the Catholic responses to the video. Although they are not as equally viewed I number, they do counter the video very well.

The last link is a clip from one of the resent debates. It is Rick Santorum speaking about freedom and rights and the freedom that God has given us verses the “freedoms” that the Government says they have given us. The Government is not suppose to give freedom, but protect freedoms that God has given us. That is what the country was established on.
