Question: "What does the Bible say about political correctness? Should a
Christian be politically correct?"
Answer: Political correctness (PC) is defined as “a term that describes
language, ideas, policies, and behavior seen as seeking to minimize social
and institutional offense in occupational, gender, racial, cultural, sexual
orientation, religious belief, disability, and age-related contexts.” The
key word here is offense. No individual or group is to be offended in the PC
world. Certainly, as Christians, we are not to go out of our way to offend
anyone personally, but the truth is that Christianity itself is offensive.
The apostle Paul references the “offense of the cross” in Galatians 5:11.
The cross was an offense to the Jews because their idea of salvation was to
“work the works of God” (John 6:28–29), meaning keeping the numerous
burdensome Old Testament laws and rules. When Jesus came preaching salvation
by grace alone, through faith alone, they were shattered. He made it plain
that “by works of the law, no human being will be justified in his sight”
(Romans 3:20) and that all their law-keeping was of no value to them
whatsoever. Especially repugnant to them was the idea that, without Jesus,
they who prided themselves on their meticulous adherence to the letter, if
not the spirit, of the law, could do nothing of spiritual value (John 15:5).
Truly, the offense Jesus created was a stumbling block to the Jews, as Paul
explained to the Romans. He reminded them of Isaiah’s prophecy that God
would lay a Cornerstone (Christ) in Zion over which many would stumble and
fall (Isaiah 8:14; 28:16; Psalm 118:22; 1 Peter 2:6). Just as the Jews
stumbled over the idea of their works being of no value to God, so do many
today hate the idea that Christ will build His church not on human merits,
but on His righteousness alone. That message is as offensive today as it was
in Jesus’ day. No one likes to be told there is nothing he can do to earn
his place in heaven.
Equally offensive is the necessity of dying to self in order to follow
Christ. Of all the religions of the world today, Christianity is the only
one where its founder tells you to follow Him and die. "Then Jesus said to
his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take
up his cross and follow me'" (Matthew 16:24). Those who heard this message
knew exactly what Jesus meant; to follow Him was to die to self and give up
everything they ever held dear. That's why everyone ran away when He was
arrested; they weren't prepared to die with Him.
Correctness in the secular, political realm is not the concern of
Christians or the church because “our citizenship is in heaven. And we
eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will, by the
power that enables him, “bring everything under his control” (Philippians
3:20–21).

作个简单的翻译
问题: "圣经对政治正确如何看? 基督徒该不该持政治正确的观点?"
答案: 政治正确的定义是 “一个词语,用于描述语言,观点,政策,行为等,尽量避
免冒犯职业,性别,种族,性取向,信仰,残疾,年龄等内容” 关键词是冒犯。作为
基督徒,我们不会专门去冒犯别人,但是, 基督信仰本身的特点就是冒犯人的。
保罗在加拉太书 5:11说过:十架对犹太人来说,就是一种冒犯。因为犹太人认为,救
恩是靠人来做成神命令的工作。也就是守律法。当基督说,救恩是唯独恩典,因信称义
,靠人
的行为来守律法并没有效用,人不能靠自己的行为在天国获得一席之地。这样的说法,
对犹太人来说,就是一种冒犯。
同样冒犯的是,耶稣要求他的跟随者必须钉死老我,否定自己。跟随基督必须对自己
死,放下自己喜悦的一切,这也是为什么基督的门徒在他被逮捕的时候跑了,因为他们
还没准备好和主一起死。这样的要求,对人的本性而言,也是一种冒犯。
所以,基督徒对世间的政治正确不必理会,因为我们的国在天上,不在世间。

本来基督教说人人都是罪人,这对于人的本性而言,就是一种冒犯。
谁都说自己是好人,没有谁会说自己是罪人。
但是,不冒犯,治病的药就进不去。罪的工价乃是死。
这个是生死大事。
