Australia Has Been Given Over: The Herzog Protests and the Reprobate Mind · The Slippery Slope

  The red light. On I'm just waiting.
• 0:06
  For the change. Welcome back to the Slippery
• 0:11
  Slope podcast. I'm Jay Fallon.
• 0:14
  Today I want to look at something that tells us far more
• 0:16
  about Australia's spiritual condition than it does about
• 0:20
  geopolitics, the protests, outrage and legal battles
• 0:25
  surrounding the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
• 0:31
  So while he was in Australia, and while Israel was dealing
• 0:36
  with the aftermath of a terror attack that killed 15 people and
• 0:41
  wounded more than 40, an attack driven by Islamic State
• 0:46
  ideology, Australia was busy arguing over whether the Israeli
• 0:51
  president should be arrested. And if that sounds insane,
• 0:56
  that's because it is. This isn't just about politics.
• 1:00
  This is, I believe, Romans one playing out in real time.
• 1:05
  And I've spoken about this several times.
• 1:08
  So what is actually happening? Let's lay out the facts from
• 1:13
  several articles. OK?
• 1:14
  We've got Herzog visits Australia at the invitation of
• 1:19
  the federal government. He meets leaders and survivors
• 1:22
  of the Bondi terror attack. Under international law, he has
• 1:27
  head of state immunity, which means he cannot be arrested.
• 1:33
  Despite this, Green senators, activists and even an
• 1:38
  independent MP were still calling for his arrest.
• 1:42
  Nationwide protests were being organised.
• 1:46
  NSW Premier Chris Mins declared the visit a major event giving
• 1:52
  police expanded powers to block movement in Sydney.
• 1:56
  Protest groups ended up taking the government to the Supreme
• 2:01
  Court, claiming these powers are emergency style and unlawful.
• 2:08
  So instead of uniting around the victims of a terror attack,
• 2:12
  remember that terror attack that happened in December, which, you
• 2:16
  know, just seems to have disappeared into the ether.
• 2:19
  Instead of uniting around the victims of a terror attack where
• 2:23
  fellow Australians were killed, Australia is tearing itself
• 2:28
  apart over whether the President of Israel should be treated like
• 2:33
  a criminal. This is not normal political
• 2:38
  disagreement. This is moral confusion.
• 2:41
  So why is Australia getting this so wrong?
• 2:47
  Here's the uncomfortable truth. Australia has embraced a pro
• 2:51
  Palestinian movement that is not grounded in truth, justice or
• 2:57
  moral clarity. It is grounded in ideological
• 3:02
  activism, selective outrage, and a deep hostility toward anything
• 3:08
  associated with Israel. The same people who ignore
• 3:14
  Islamic State ideology in the Bondi attack are the ones
• 3:18
  demanding the arrest of Israel's president.
• 3:22
  The same people who claim to defend human rights A silent
• 3:26
  when Hamas uses civilians as Shields.
• 3:30
  The same people who scream about genocide refuse to acknowledge
• 3:35
  that Israel is responding to terrorism.
• 3:39
  This is not compassion. This isn't justice.
• 3:44
  This is moral inversion, and scripture has a name for it.
• 3:51
  So this is the spiritual layer. This is what I believe Romans
• 3:56
  chapter 1 describes. A society that knows the truth
• 4:01
  but rejects it, and as a result, God gives them over to a
• 4:08
  reprobate mind, a debased mind, a mind that cannot think
• 4:14
  straight, it cannot think clearly.
• 4:18
  Let's connect the dots. Number one, they suppress the
• 4:22
  truth in unrighteousness. Australia suppresses the truth
• 4:27
  about terrorism, ideology and moral responsibility.
• 4:32
  It's easier to chant slogans than confront evil #2 they
• 4:38
  became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were
• 4:43
  darkened. We see this in the way activists
• 4:47
  reinterpret reality. Terrorists become victims.
• 4:52
  Victims become oppressors. Israel defending itself becomes
• 4:58
  genocide #3 professing to be wise, they become fools.
• 5:06
  We see academics, politicians and activists claiming moral
• 5:12
  superiority while defending movements that openly celebrate
• 5:16
  violence #4 God gave them over to a debased mind.
• 5:24
  This is the key. A debased mind cannot discern
• 5:30
  good from evil. It cannot recognise truth, even
• 5:35
  when it's obvious. It calls evil good and good
• 5:39
  evil. When a nation reaches this
• 5:42
  point, you get exactly what we're seeing Outrage directed at
• 5:49
  the wrong people, sympathy directed at the wrong causes,
• 5:54
  and hostility directed at the wrong side of history.
• 5:59
  Australia isn't neutral. Australia isn't confused.
• 6:04
  Australia has been given over, so now we are facing the
• 6:12
  consequences. When a society rejects God, it
• 6:18
  loses the ability to make moral judgments.
• 6:22
  Romans one lists the fruits of a reprobate mind, their envy,
• 6:27
  murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness,
• 6:31
  untrustworthiness, unloving, unmerciful.
• 6:35
  Look at the protests, look at the rhetoric, look at the hatred
• 6:40
  directed at Jewish Australians, look at the willingness to
• 6:45
  excuse terrorism. This is not political activism,
• 6:50
  this is spiritual decay. And where this leads, when a
• 6:56
  nation embraces lies, it inevitably embraces tyranny.
• 7:02
  Have you noticed what's happening?
• 7:05
  NSW grants police expanded powers.
• 7:08
  Protest groups challenge those powers.
• 7:11
  The government Shields a visiting head of state.
• 7:14
  Activists demand his arrest. Courts are dragged into
• 7:18
  ideological battles. We've got chaos, confusion,
• 7:22
  division. This is what happens when truth
• 7:26
  is abandoned. As Christians, we're not called
• 7:32
  to follow the crowd. We are not called to adopt the
• 7:37
  world's moral framework. We're called to discern.
• 7:41
  Romans 1 isn't just a warning, it's a diagnosis.
• 7:46
  Australia is not drifting. Australia is not confused.
• 7:51
  Australia is being given over. And unless we return to truth,
• 7:58
  God's truth, the chaos we're seeing now is only the
• 8:02
  beginning. Of course, all this is my
• 8:08
  opinion. I am Jay Fallon.
• 8:11
  Thank you for listening to The Slippery Slope.
• 8:32
  It's going to stop me now. No one tears to be the sound of
• 8:37
  my soldiers. That is on me.
• 8:42
  And nothing's going to stop me now.
• 8:45
  And nothing's going to hold me down.
• 8:47
  Got my eye on the eyes, got my sight on the clouds, it seems no
• 8:51
  sight. Nothing's going to, nothing 's
• 8:59
  going to stop me now.
