Philippians 2:9-11; 3:18-19 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father . . . (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Enemies of God will not survive Christ's return and although Jesus will attend to the details of how they are destroyed, it's still necessary for us to understand what false teachings they promote. Tree huggers worship trees, Mormons worship Joe, Furries seem to worship just about anything, bad for them in the final analysis but otherwise innocuous enough. Other enemies, false religions but nevertheless religions, want to eradicate Christianity.
Hence my confusion. Wouldn't religious liberty give free rein to such groups?
