The Anti-Christ's most powerful weapon. Part I

Salutations, Beautiful Believers!

Much love and respect for you, your Church Founder, Pastor, Ministry and Church Family as a whole, as well as praying that the following editorial will serve as an instrument of enlightenment.

This particular series of editorials might come across as didactic to some because of the crucial and urgent nature of its message. In fact, this editorial as well as those to follow will speak directly to the crux of the Anti-Christ agenda. Satan is well aware that as the Body of Christ there are certain things that the majority of Christians will never do. It is a given that sins such as cursing the name of God, practicing witchcraft, blaspheming the Holy Ghost or actions equally as severe as these are simply out of the question. In fact, most Christians steer clear of adultery, homosexuality, whore mongering, back biting and the like as well. However, there is one sin that Satan is acutely aware that Believers have the propensity to commit, often and in earnest. As Believers we often unknowingly commit and knowingly embrace the sin of “Subtle Compromise”. “Subtle Compromise” is dubious and elusive in its deception. Thus the caveat, Satan is well aware of this fact and as such he uses it against us often in an effort to systematically manipulate us into distancing ourselves from Christ. This separation from Christ always comes in seemingly innocuous ways. The following is one of those seemingly innocent means of “Subtle Compromise”.

Truthfully, the influence entertainment plays in the life of true Believers has become increasingly disturbing. Due to the fact, media and entertainers have the ability to sway Believers, while methodically transforming them into foolish fanatics. As a point of reference, fanatic and its derivatives are from the Latin fanaticus. Meaning inspired by a deity or spirit, frenzied, a person marked or motivated by an extreme unreasoning enthusiasm, possessed with or motivated by excessive, irrational zeal. (Merriam Webster, 1918) These fanatics ultimately excuse the actions of those who will and have literally tainted and defiled our world, our children and our belief system as a whole. So please be advised if the following mirrors or offends you, you may in fact be one of those fanatics.

It is extremely distressing that we are living in a day and time when God’s People will fight to protect their favorite celebrity as opposed to measuring their actions against the Word of our Lord. As written in Deut. 22:5, The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God,. (KJV) This is undisputable truth however, for some sick misguided reason Tyler Perry, a self proclaimed Christian, chooses to act in plays, videos, sitcoms and movies as a woman named “Madea”. Strangely, this character is not a Christian; in fact “its” claim to fame is “its” disrespectful smarmy attitude, the guns “it” totes and marijuana “it” smokes. Even so, this “Madea” character is often the conduit for moral change in Perry’s simplistic, “ebonics” ridden, and atrociously stereotypical brand of entertainment. Nonetheless, Christian audiences have come to admire Perry’s ”Madea” and in spite of the transvestism and despite the fact that according to prayzehymnonline.com, Perry is under investigation by several critical sources. It seems that in homosexual circles there are claims that “Madea” was heavily ripped-off from “Ms. Sophia McIntosh”, a popular transvestite from Atlanta. It seems that while frequenting Atlanta’s homosexual clubs Perry drew strong inspiration from watching “it” perform. Nevertheless, and regardless of the Word of God, it seems Christian audiences disobediently and disproportionately support Perry and his decision to act as a transvestite. Thus, begging the question, why? There are two distinct schools of thought on why Believers are acting in such a manner. We will call the former, “The Excuses” and the latter, “The Truth”.

“The Excuses”

∞ He is speaking to and for us.
∞ We must support those of us telling our story.
∞ He is teaching Christian values.
∞ He is a Christian.
∞ He is a self made millionaire.
∞ My family is just like that.
∞ He is giving work to our actors.
∞ I learn a lot from his movies.
∞ It is so funny.

“The Truth”

∞ His message has been tainted by the sin of transvestism!
∞ He chooses to act as a transvestite as opposed to hiring a woman!
∞ His message has been tainted by promoting drug use!
∞ His message has been tainted by promoting the use of firearms!
∞ His message has been tainted by the use of foul language!
∞ He is a carnal Christian serving carnal Christians!
∞ Satan blesses those who work for his agenda!
∞ His product serves an underutilized portion of the market, so of course he is going to be successful!
∞ He is little more than a pawn of the Anti-Christ agenda whose job is to undermine the Body of Christ and continuously weaken the male image in the Church and in the black community, period!

As stated in 1 Corinthians 5:12, For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? (KJV) These issues would be of no true consequence if Tyler Perry was not targeting Christians and professing to be a Christian as well. However, as all true Believers know, once one becomes a child of Christ, there is a standard that must be adhered to in one’s life. As aforementioned, it is an abomination before God for men to wear women’s clothing, period. Furthermore, 1 Corinthians 6:9 reads, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (KJV). In accordance with the Word of God a man that acts as a woman, for any reason is unrighteous and will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In a case such as this, why would one support the craft or efforts of a man who chooses to act as a transvestite while endeavoring to teach appropriate mores, folkways and Christian values when his transvestism is the antithesis of the lesson? It is foolishness to the highest degree. Christians morass in “Subtle Compromise” vehemently fight against this message because they would rather laugh and be coddled by a transvestite who makes “its” millions mocking the Body of Christ, as opposed to discerning such foolishness for what it truly is, demonic misdirection and sleight of hand.

As we laugh and genuflect at the altar of “Madea” we allow “Subtle Compromise” to come in and exchange our Godliness for acceptance of everything “it” stands for beyond transvestism. By continuously accepting this as entertainment we are subconsciously approving the acceptance of effeminate and /or homosexual men as well as the continued emasculation of black men, due to the demonic spirit associated with fanaticism and “Subtle Compromise”. Simply put, the more you see it the more you accept it. Ask yourself why are there so many homosexuals on television or why is BET now showing an all male homosexual show? Mind you, the subject of Tyler Perry’s sexual preference is a moot point. The state of our sons and our male Christian leaders is the quintessence of this issue. Moreover, Daniel 11:37 states as it pertains to the Anti-Christ, Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. (KJV) Meaning that in addition to his disregard for the true and living God, the Anti-Christ will be vain, self-exalting and have no desire for woman. This verse describes your average homosexual man. God’s People, this would be easy if it was just about a man in a dress. Sadly, it goes far beyond, “Madea”. Satan is setting the stage right before our eyes and we are laughing so hard we cannot see or think straight, no pun intended.

This being the case, why does the Church give a platform to effeminate and/or homosexual men? Is it because they are so animated or speak with fervor when testifying, preaching, singing, prophesying or directing the choir? Or is it because while great numbers of masculine men have abandoned their posts, our women have had to take on the daunting task of running both the home and ministry and while doing so an increasing number of “safe” effeminate and/or homosexual men have slipped in to assist? Realistically, if the Church was honest with itself, we would all realize that foolishness like “Madea” is little more than a reflection of the Church’s sin of “Subtle Compromise” leading us to fanaticism for anyone who gives us that good feeling or entertains us.

In summation, for those who simply choose to be obtuse or still do not see why what Perry is doing is an affront to the Body of Christ and not just entertainment. Picture if you will your Bishop, Pastor, Prayer-band leader, Minister, or Church elder sauntering up to the pulpit or to you, dressed as the opposite sex telling jokes and engaging in serious discourse regarding the importance of a strong family and marriage, how would you react? How long would it take to find another church? Would you advise others to be leery of that church’s brand of ministry? Or knowing the Word of God, would you laugh and wait with bated breath for next Sunday so you can invite your friends, family and co-workers to see this great brand of ministry? God’s People the reality of the situation is this, the Bible teaches us time and again that these things are wrong, honestly, there is no question. Why would anyone sacrifice their living soul and possibly their sons for a couple of laughs? Whatever answers suit you remember the Word of God every time you decide that the works of Tyler Perry are an excellent way to entertain yourself, family and friends.

God’s People must never forget this one truth,“Nothing is as it seems when Satan is involved.”


As Always,
