There are no safe spaces

In my lifetime a thing has developed at which I look with eyebrow raised. They are called “safe spaces.”

What are safe spaces? Wikipedia defines them as places “intended to be free of bias, conflict, criticism, or potentially threatening actions, ideas, or conversations”, according to Merriam-Webster.”

We live in the world. The world is full of competing religions, differing political views, stalked by demons, and ministered to by holy angels, and overall, is full of sinners. Is it even possible to have a safe place like the one just described? Probably not.

Wikipedia continues: “The term originated in LGBTQ culture…“
Ah! so ‘safe space’ simply means where perverted people with corrupted desires can dwell unchallenged in their sin.

The entry continues by mentioning that ‘the concept has expanded where any perceived marginalized minority can dwell amongst like-minded individuals.’

‘Perceived marginalized minority’. Isn’t everyone in that club now? Everyone is a victim, everyone is bullied, everyone has a grudge?

Not ‘exposed to criticism…’ Sin must be called out, which the sinner perceives as criticism. Of course, it IS criticism. No one wants to hear you’re doing wrong things, you’re going to be judged by Jesus, your life is ruinous…

When did we get so sensitive to criticism? The Gospel needs to go everywhere (Matthew 28:19). Nowhere is excluded from the Gospel, which the unsaved do not want and thus categorize as criticism, harassment, and discrimination.

Secondly, in the past before safe spaces were invented, people learned to be in the world where feelings were not as hurt so instantly. We were tougher then. The world is softer now, operating on feelings in a narrow range of views, any new views or challenges to one’s held views are seen as an attack.

There is no hiding, even in a ‘safe space’.

But if you do not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure that your sin will find you out. (Numbers 32:23).

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known. (Luke 12:2).

For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:14).

Ultimately, those LGBTQ folks do not know how UNSAFE hell is. THAT is a space where where perverted people with corrupted desires can dwell unchallenged in their sin and persist in it- forever.

Or how unsafe it is to be outside of the fear of God.

Christianity isn’t even a safe space. It’s the most unsafe space there is, because “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.) (John 15:19).

Someday, perhaps today, the safe space dweller will hear the Gospel and thank the person who took the risk to bring them the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ. Then they will look forward to the safest space of all: HEAVEN. Where we all are like-minded, holy and pure. Where not a hint or shadow of sin will emerge to disturb us. Where the Protector of the universe spreads His arms and loves us all to the complete infinity of love.
