Zone1 How would Christ deal with the "wokeness" of our time?

[Meriweather]

Not me, I don’t like the word but support the concept

Actually (and it should be no surprise) that BLM reawakened the use of the word after Ferguson. The reason it should be no surprise is that as far back as the 1930s (in a song) Black people were using it to call attention to their issues, their plight. It was a well-known word in the 1940s.

The word caught on, by LGBTQ for their issues, then by Progressives, for theirs.

It is Conservatives who made woke a dirty word and made people fear it.

What would Jesus do??? Good question, that I as a sinner am not qualified to answer but my thoughts are these........


Ultimately the 'actions or activities' that go against God's Word are sins and we are to hate those sins and abstain from them........while at the same time we are called to have compassion on the sinner. Whatever the sin, whether a thief, prostitute, tax collector, murderer or those identifying as something other than what they were born as.

Christ called us all WHILE we were still in our sin to come to Him and His Grace and we as Christians are called to do the same. Hate the sin but love the sinner. It is not our place to judge others, that is God's job to pass judgement and if we do judge others, then we risk being judged ourselves



Admittedly it is a difficult thing to come to terms with in such a crazy world we live in that goes against everything we've ever known or been taught. I guess it gives something of an understanding to the world when compared to when Jesus came the first time..

All one must do is ask for forgiveness, right? Looks like Trump is fucked.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

No, it was the Progressive "take over" of a word meant for another purpose entirely. This is why etymology and the evolution of words, language has interested me in my own life/studies. Can you remember when 'Gay' had an entirely different meaning, but evolved to mean something entirely different?

The same was/is happening to the word 'Woke', which in its present usage why I've been writing 'woke' in protest. (A small tantrum, but my own.) It's why I find your own usage and definitions so irritating and annoying. First you throw in Jesus, and now you are throwing in Conservatives and both just muddy the waters and make things worse. I was never a fan of BLM, but what they did have was proper and historical use of 'Woke'. I recommend stopping other groups (LGBTQ and Progressives) co-opting it for their own purpose, just as I urge you to stop co-opting Jesus/Christian work and accusing others, in order to keep stirring up the melodrama.

Jesus lived among the woke of his time and was condemned for it, just as you people condemn the Pope who just died for doing the same.
