Hold the Truth in Unrighteousness

[christian]

Romans 1:18-25

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

The Greek word used for 'hold' is κατεχόντων, which can be more correctly translated as 'suppressing' or literally 'holding down' the truth. They know the truth, but sinful man suppresses it. Denies and restrains it. It is not an issue of ignorance. It is a willful denial of truth. The "necessary" lie that makes a life of sin possible.

I realized that if I could go from anti- to neutral in two weeks of actually looking into #GamerGate, then if after over half a year of GamerGate you're still claiming that it is "an organized harassment campaign to push women out of gaming" and agree with Ben Kuchera that "Gamergate weapons are always terror", then:

a) you are biased beyond repair;
b) you know the truth but will stick to the narrative for your own purpose.

In both cases, my work would be for naught.

Note that I am against GamerGate as the movement is founded on anti-Christian principles. The takeaway from Adrian's post is that we shouldn't be surprised by any of what's happening.

A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
