As Jesus teaches in the synagogue he is interrupted by a man with an “unclean spirit.” When we see those two words in scripture it means a demonic spirit. A spirit that is not love. A spirit that opposes God. A spirit that harms the community and the host. Unclean spirits have infected the church and the nation. How could Jesus of Nazareth endorse any individual or group that accepts and supports people wearing clothing that says, “6MWE” Six million wasn’t enough” in reference to the Holocaust? How could Jesus of the Bible accept and support people who chanted “hang Mike Pence” when Jesus himself was publicly lynched? The issue here is not politics, it’s Jesus! A mature Christian understands that you cannot put the flag, any flag, higher than the Cross! Who do you say that Jesus is? The bible says that “unclean spirits” are afraid of Jesus. The bible says Jesus rebukes and casts out “unclean spirits,” leaving the hosts, purged, restored, and in their right mind.
