...but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:7
"Ganoune Diop, Director of Public Affairs and Religious Liberty at the
General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, is now helping to write
books with Catholic priests from the Pontifical Gregorian Jesuit
University. The new book was published in 2021 and is called Religious Soft Diplomacy and the United Nations.
It is available on Amazon and promotes the idea that religious entities
should work with the United Nations to help achieve the UN Sustainable
Development Goals. The summary of the book, published on Amazon, and
states the following:
“The engagement of religious diplomacy within the United
Nations systems has become increasingly important for achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals. The editors argue that effective
religious diplomacy must reflect the great diversity of religious and
spiritual expressions within human communities … this can best be
achieved through a worldview shift within the United Nations systems.”
Ganoune Diop wrote Chapter 5 of this book. Roman Catholic Priest Cesar Jaramillo wrote Chapter 14.
Now we are told that churches should partner with the United Nations to
help advance their goals, their pseudoscience,
--their Mother Earth
spirituality,
--their pagan philosophies,
--their feminist anti-family
policies,
--their radical LGBT+ propaganda and
--their pro-death agenda that
promotes euthanasia and abortion.
Q: Why would we join those who are
determined to destroy Biblical Christianity?
Ganoune Diop says the following about religious freedom on page 96 of this new book and quotes the United Nations:
“A person’s right to manifest or to outwardly display
one’s religion or belief, can be legally subjected to limitation. This
aspect of religious freedom is not absolute.
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Article, which
has been ratified by 179 countries since its first introduction in
1996, specifically says that: ‘Freedom to manifest one’s
religion or beliefs may be subject only to such limitations as are
prescribed by law and are necessary to protect public safety, order,
health or morals, or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others’” (United Nations General Assembly 1066, Article 18).
Let me tell you what is not absolute:
--Church officials and religious
liberty directors are not absolute.
--Political leaders are not absolute.
--Civil governments are not absolute.
--The United Nations is not absolute.
Tragically, we have had dishonest political leaders unilaterally
abolishing our fundamental freedoms simply by declaring them
“non-essential.”
--We have seen how governors and mayors have unilaterally
allowed liquor stores, grocery stores, abortion clinics, and protesters
to operate,
--while unilaterally closing down churches.
We are not supposed to rule on the basis of opinion; we are supposed to
rule on the basis of a Constitution. Ganounue Diop is pushing the
globalist statements of the United Nations while ignoring the
Protestant/Biblical principles contained in our Bill of Rights.
Politicians are using this so-called “pandemic” to exercise absolute
power to impose radical health and environmental policies, and Ganuoune
Diop is providing the license and justification to do so."
