Is speaking the truth now considered to be hate speech?

Posted on by asherdc89

To speak the truth could be an offence. But it’s not to speak the truth to not be at risk to cause an offence. It’s Just like believing what others may believe to not be intolerant, when tolerance concerns how you treat someone. You could tolerate someone irrespective to what they believe and still have a difference of thought and opinion. We as a society have forgotten these simple truths.

To speak the truth is to be at risk of causing an offence and to not be tolerated no matter how well intended you are. No matter if it is the right approach or if your delivery is gentle.

A person could be easily offended just because they have an emotional attachment to what is false. Having a sentimental value for it, which they are strongly passionate about.

As a consequence, some make others an object of their hatred. Due to the lie they dearly love at heart. And cling to the lie by not wanting to accept the truth.

Now a days, we call it intolerance, prejudice and condescension even when it’s not.

And hate speech. Even if it doesn’t incite violence through provocation.This has led to governmental legislative acts. Placing limits on expression to regulate and control conscience for what is culturally normal to maintain the peace in society.

If the truth bluntly spoken causes an offence then there is a need for the offended to get their house in order.

If you love someone, you speak up and speak the truth, no matter how it may offend. You hold them accountable according to the truth. For the truth saves lives.

For example: Are we not to tell people that smoking can cause cancer to prevent it; because it may cause an offence?

God forbid. If we truly love our neighbor as we love ourselves then we are to help our neighbor by speaking and living according to the truth.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
