Humble Follower of Jesus

Thanks for the part you are willing to play in God's plan to keep the person and work of Jesus in front of the people He longs to restore. While many may point to the birth of Jesus, or His sinless life and sacrifice, or His resurrection and intercession, I have a different view. The most important event in history was when God said he would heal the rift between man and Himself. Way back in Genesis, when God said, "I will make a way". Once He said it, it was over and done, it was settled. God committed to a plan and the rest is Him carrying out His plan. Thank God we are not left to our own devices! I like your site.

Democracy vs. Republic

The passage of the 17th amendment was part of the "Revolution of 1913." In that sad chapter of American history one of the last vestiges of the old republic of the United states was destroyed. The Senate was converted from a body which represented state governments in the Federal legislature to a body which became a second and far more dangerous democratic body due to the smaller number of members (easier to bribe a majority) and extra-long terms (the populace has a short memory). Thus, the republican nature of the Federal government was destroyed and replaced with a corrupt democratic system.

Comment on "The Cyclical View of History"


SATURDAY, JUL. 31, 2010

Mr.

Contrary to the opinion of the author, most secular humanists do not view history as a cyclical process and they are neither pessimists nor fatalists. John Dewey, Karl Marx, and many other secular humanists viewed history as a progressive linear process that is moving toward the fulfillment of a specific goal. In this respect there is no difference at all between the Christian and the secular humanist view of history. Where they differ is in their respective views of history’s goal. Unlike Christians, secular humanists believe that the goal of history is secular, that is, a goal to be achieved within historical time. For most secular humanists the goal of history is the liberation, equality, and freedom of humanity from oppression. Secular humanists also hold the optimistic belief that human effort can help humanity achieve further progress toward the fulfillment of history’s ultimate goal. Christians such as Augustine, Aquinas, and Luther, on the other hand, viewed the goal of history as transcendent, or as being above and beyond history, i.e., the soul’s eternal salvation through union with God. Moreover, although they held a linear view of history, some prominent Christian theologians also held a particularly fatalistic and pessimistic view of humanity’s attempt to attain salvation. The doctrine of predestination as taught by Luther and Calvin, for example, maintained that since God had decided the ultimate destiny of each individual soul before the beginning of time, all human effort to achieve salvation through good deeds could be of no avail. Nor could any sin impede one’s predestined salvation. Hence Luther’s injunction to “love God and sin boldly.” As for the cyclical view of history, the historical evidence indicates that the people who held it were in no way fatalistic or pessimistic. In ancient times the cyclical view of history was the predominant world-view of the ancient Greeks and Romans as well as the Asiatic peoples of China, India, and the Middle East. Many Native Americans also viewed history as a cyclical process. This view of history did not render those people helpless or hopeless; it taught them to respect nature and to live in harmony with the natural processes which govern the world in which they lived. Just as an understanding of the cyclical process of nature enabled the farmer to plant and successfully grow crops at the appropriate time of year, so too the ancients believed that an understanding the cyclical process of history would enable wise rulers to successfully govern and cultivate the people. The cyclical view of history obviously did not condemn the ancients to a life of poverty and despair or prevent them from attaining highly developed levels of civilization. Nor is there any danger in holding this view of history today. On the contrary, it might just save us from the self-destructive arrogance of our modern belief in historical progress--a belief which is leading to the destruction of the natural environment and the life-support systems on which we all depend. As the Hopi Indian prophesy warns: “If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.”

Two Things...

This article says, "The sad fact is that some of your worst persecution could come from those who call themselves brothers in Christ, but are not willing to risk being ostracized or losing any of their earthly goods. Some of your Christian friends, out of guilt, are as likely to lash out at you rather than fulfill the call to engage the culture themselves." Does this refer to the Telemechus story? Were some of the people who stoned him at the coliseum Christians? Second, I really like the phrase "triad fury." It took me a moment of pondering to realize it meant, first, the bloody games, second, Telemechus' action in jumping into the arena, and third, the spectators stoning him. If you wanted to put it another way, you could say, "what goes around comes around," but doesn't "triad fury" have a much more awesome ring to it?

Comment on "Declaration & 1 Samuel "


WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19, 2011

Miss

How does your statement, "Therefore the Declaration of Independence was written to proclaim to the world how King George had thrown off the cloak of God's oversight" and "Their unwillingness to stand for military oppression manifests their Biblical knowledge" square with the fact that Jesus and the disciples did not attempt to overthrow the unbiblical usurpations of authority that were manifested during the Roman Empire nor did they promote that others should do so? If we are to assume that the founding fathers were following scriptural principles and were not influenced by Enligtenment beliefs, then where do we see this being taught in the Scriptures? I agree that those who are members of the governing authorities as well as anyone else are ultimately subject to God's laws, because they are absolute, whether people choose to abide by them or not, but we see over and over again throughout history and specifically in Scripture that those in government authority are many times evil and corrupt. God does not say that we should fight to overthrow these systems. Our Republic is based on a system of checks and balances, but without a change from within, evil will ultimately cause an implosion and that is what the Bible predicts will finally occur because of man's rebellion against Him and His ways. Since we are not under a theocracy and we have a representative government, I am all for using every means at our disposal to try to influence each area of our society to be more God glorifying, but without the work of the indwelling Spirit within people, we have only a behavior modification, if that. I agree that governments that are evil are not representative of God's plan, and I, personally, would want them ousted. But if we are using the Bible as our reference point, and specifically looking at the founders and "their unwillingness to stand for military oppression as manifesting their Biblical knowledge, etc. does not seem to jive with what is written in the Scriptures. Jesus states that "His kingdom is not of this world" and therefore, our focus in any change should be an internal one that begins with the salvation of souls, not trying to establish God's dominion in every realm of society, which Scriptures shows will not occur until He returns and sets up His Kingdom on earth. So, although I see that those involved in the revolution were unwilling to stand for military oppression, etc, and their reasons, which make sense to us who now live in a representative republic, but, I do not see that it is ultimately in line with the teaching of Scripture.

This Day In History...

On November 19, 1863 President Abraham Lincoln delivers one of the most famous speeches in American history, The Gettysburg Address, at the dedication of the military cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

 

Comment on "This Day in History, "Nov. 19 President Abraham Lincoln delivers Gettysburg Address"

Lincoln

Sad to say, Lincoln was a murderous tyrant. H.L. Mencken Told The Truth: “Gettysburg Address” A Lie; It Was Confederate Troops Who Fought For “Government Of The People, By The People, For The People.” Here's what Mencken said: “But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination— ‘that government of the people, by the people, for the people,’ should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. “The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i.e., of the people of the States? The Confederates went into battle free; they came out with their freedom subject to the supervision and veto of the rest of the country—and for nearly twenty years that veto was so effective that they enjoyed scarcely more liberty, in the political sense, than so many convicts in the penitentiary.” — Journalist H.L. Mencken, From “Five Men at Random,” “Prejudices: Third Series,” 1922, pp. 171-76: First printed, in part, in the “Smart Set,” May, 1920, p. 141
