“God Doesn’t do Cancel Culture”

Aren’t you happy that God doesn’t do “Cancel Culture”? If He did, I would have been gone a long time ago. We have all seen in the news where “Cancel Culture” seems to make the headlines on a regular basis.

“Cancel Culture” - According to Dictionary.com, “Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive. It's generally discussed as being performed on social media in the form of group shaming.” An example, of “Cancel Culture” in the news right now is a kid making a mistake with poor judgement at the age of 15 resurfacing when the kid is in college causing the kid to have to leave college.

As I look back over my life, I have done things that have been displeasing to God. Thankfully, our Lord and Savior shows us Grace and Mercy. If it wasn’t for the Love that God had for us, we all would be destined for “Hell”. But thankfully our God loved us so much, He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. As a believer in Christ, my sins have been forgiven. Do I still mess up? Definitely, but as a Christian according to 1 John 1:9, even as a believer when we sin, we can confess our sins and God will forgive us of our sins.

1 John 1:9

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

God shows us Grace and Mercy everyday of our lives. So, thank God, He doesn’t do Cancel Culture. The bible warns us about judging others, we see in Matthew 7 that we shouldn’t judge others.

Matthew 7:1 – 5

1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

上帝不会搞取消文化”

你难道不庆幸上帝不会搞“取消文化”吗？如果祂会，我恐怕早就被“取消”了。我们在新闻中常常看到“取消文化”登上头条。

“取消文化”——根据 Dictionary.com 的定义，“取消文化是指一种流行的做法，当公众人物或公司说了或做了被认为是令人反感或不可接受的事情后，人们便撤回对他们的支持（即‘取消’）。这通常被认为是通过社交媒体以群体羞辱的方式进行。”例如，新闻中的一个案例是，一个孩子在 15 岁时因判断力不成熟犯了错误，结果多年后这件事被翻出来，使得这个已经在读大学的学生不得不离开学校。

当我回顾自己的人生，我也做过许多让上帝不喜悦的事。所幸我们的主和救主向我们显明恩典与怜悯。若不是因为上帝对我们的爱，我们都将注定下“地狱”。但感谢上帝，祂如此爱我们，派遣耶稣为我们的罪钉死在十字架上。作为基督徒，我的罪已被赦免。我还会犯错吗？当然会。但作为基督徒，根据《约翰一书》1:9，即使我们已经信主，当我们仍然犯罪时，只要认罪，上帝就会赦免我们的罪。

约翰一书 1:99 我们若认自己的罪，上帝是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。

上帝每天都向我们彰显祂的恩典和怜悯。所以，感谢上帝，祂不会搞“取消文化”。圣经也警告我们不要论断别人，《马太福音》第 7 章清楚教导我们不应论断他人。

马太福音 7:1–51 “你们不要论断人，免得你们被论断。2 因为你们怎样论断人，也必怎样被论断；你们用什么量器量给人，也必用什么量器量给你们。3 为什么看见你弟兄眼中有刺，却不想自己眼中有梁木呢？4 你怎么能对你弟兄说：‘让我把你眼中的刺取出来’，而你自己眼中却有梁木呢？5 你这个假冒为善的人，先把自己眼中的梁木取出来，然后你才能看得清楚去除你弟兄眼中的刺。”
