All the doctrines, literally all, that are embraced by the modern west are doctrines of demons. The doctrines of "rights", "equality", "liberty" and "tolerance" are truly vile doctrines that has made the west the way it is - full of social problems, family breakdown, immorality, divisions between different demography groups, competition and individualism. Such doctrines have not only lead to such things. Such things are only a symptom of the disease, not the disease itself, which is the disease of sin and also the active, zealous pursuit of doctrines of demons.
Conservative western Christians seek social change to 'change the culture'. However, this is not the ultimate role of the Church. Fighting evils because it offends God is to be what the Church is to do (Ephesians 5:11). However, these conservative western Christians fight evil with the ultimate goal of earthly change, because it is intolerable to them, rather than because it offends God. This thinking manifests in their use of fleshly means to fight evil, rather than using the weapon of the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of all Salvation (Romans 1:16).
Instead of remembering that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers (Ephesians 5:12) which hold the unsaved captive, seeking to take them to Hell, these conservative Christians turn the role of fighting evil into simply 'changing the culture'. This is not only to distort what it means to fight evil: it is to pervert it. Such people think they are being 'culturally sensitive' and lecture others to be so, dampening the zeal of those who seek to fight evil, posing a stumbling block to those who are of such zeal.
The dire ineffectiveness of the conservative western Christians in fighting evil is caused by their mindset which is itself influenced by these doctrines of demons which have so plagued the west. Many of these conservative Christians themselves believe in their "rights", equality", "liberty" and "tolerance". Although they may not believe in such doctrines in the same way as those secular humanists, they nevertheless still adopt such doctrine of demons in their mindset. They are yoked to such demon doctrines by even tolerating such doctrines and adopting them in their mindset.
The Church must cut off all such doctrines from its mindset, not tolerating any such doctrine in its mindset even to the slightest bit. As 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 says:
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
The Church must instead preach the Law of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a world lost in its sins, and thinks itself justified. It must preach repentance and faith in Christ and Christ alone. That is the only thing it needs to do. The Gospel is sufficient for all Salvation (Romans 1:16).
Anything added to the preaching of the Gospel, such as cultural sensitivity, 'win-em-with-kindness' doctrine added to it, will reduce its power. Imposing such false requirements on others is not only "burdensome", but absolutely unnecessary in the first place, causing spiritual confusion, and thereby spiritual bondage, and therefore a dampening of zeal of others. It is a stumbling block.
The imposition of such false requirements is the manifestation of fleshly thinking, which believes in its own glory and self-preservation. This manifests in the adoption of worldly thinking which loves the doctrine of demons, the doctrines of "rights", "equality", "liberty" and "tolerance", and the fear of any claim by the world to such vile false doctrine of demons.
As such, the Church should not the fear the claim by the world to its so-called "rights", "equality", "liberty "and "tolerance" as it does in adding some rubbish requirement to preaching the Gospel. She should shun such claims, having no regard or respect for such vile doctrines.
