Free Speech & Censorship
Manage episode 327194424 series 2901197
Cancel culture, censorship and free speech. How do we as Christian, fathers, and parents tackle these issues. Whether you like it or not, none of us can simply ignore this issue of censorship and what we know as free speech. So we must turn to the Bible to help us develop a view of speech. We are called to speak truth, but not engage in the idolatry of “Freedom of Speech”
- What was the intention behind the 1st Amendment
- Where have we gone wrong with freedom of speech?
- How do we protect good speech and should there be limits on “bad” speech

Have people become so fragile that they can't bear to hear something they don't agree with or is "offensive" OR are people so stupid, that they can't be trusted to hear more than one perspective and decide what is true or false?
“Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.”
James 3:4-6 ESV

“Our post-Christian society has dangerously married moral relativism to a sense of righteous zeal inherited from its Christian past, without any of the Christian humility that comes from the comforting faith in God’s providence. Accordingly, it is hellbent on a moral crusade to enthrone relativism by force of will.” - Brad Little John
