“Liberal” “Liberal Hoax.” The conservative buzzword to denounce the left. We don’t mind, we reply with liberal quotes such as JFK. However, why is it a ridiculous thing for conservatives to say? Particularly conservative Christians??? Because the word is Biblical.
The King James Version of 1611 of the Bible contains the word liberal. In the American King James Bible also contained the word liberal. But why was this word so important to Christianity and particularly America? Particularly the King James Bible?
First, the King James Bible was the break from the Catholic Church. For the Puritans, Presbyterians and Methodists who came to America, this was important and important because of the vision for America. There have been comments that “Jesus was a liberal.” But these are not just
comments. It’s Biblical. To understand this connection, you have to read and understand the Old Testament and the prophecy of Isaiah. Isaiah prophesied the coming of the Messiah. And his prophecy was what his followers saw in Jesus. This messiah would be a liberal. Isaiah 32
is the reign of righteousness. The blessings from the coming king. But this first prophecy was of Hezekiah, the time of the Assyrian invasion of Judah. What qualities would a king have? Liberal qualities. Really, the qualities were liberal??
“But the liberal devises liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand” Isaiah 32-8. What does this mean? The translation is “Deviseth liberal things - He purposes those things which will tend to promote the public welfare, and not those merely which will conduce to
his private ends and gratification.” The word 'liberal' means generous, noble, large-hearted, benevolent; a man of large views and of public spirit; a man above covetousness, avarice, and self-seeking; a man who is willing to devote himself to the welfare of his country, and to
the interests of his fellow-men. It is implied here that such persons would be selected to administer the affairs of the government I under the wise and virtuous prince of whom the prophet speaks.
So how is it that conservative don’t understand it. We know that liberal means
noble. If a Christian still reads the KJV or the AKJV, they will be aware of this. From 1700 to 1900, these were what was used. But from 1901, the American Standard Version or American Revision was used. Particularly in schools. This version removed the word liberal and replaced
it will noble. “But the noble deviseth noble things; and in noble things shall he continue.”
Isaiah32-8 (ASV). And a liberal was also generous. Proverbs 11-25 (KJV) states “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Again liberal has
been removed and is now
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
