Love the glitch Art vibe Fren.... its reverent but straight to the point. Biblical Truth is eternal as is our Heavenly Father and saviour of all mankind. Deus Vult.
What modern pop culture is today, is an inversion of objective reality. The Hegelian philosophy where reality ceases to exist and everything is a construct. At this point even a non believer such as yourself can see the logic of biblical truth. The entire western world was founded around that. Our laws and morality. Its easy to see why the post modernists needed to tear it down. Unfortunately for the reality deniers that up is down philosophy cannot succeed nor will it ever!
Popular culture is the new Babylon, into which so much art and intellect now flow. It is our imperial sex theater, supreme temple of the western eye. We live in the age of idols. The pagan past, never dead, flames again in our mystic hierarchies of stardom. -Camille Paglia
Her problem is too common in intellectuals who can recognize certain ideas but can’t help but be seduced by them. She also acknowledges that the mainstreaming of transgenderism is a sign of a civilization at its end but in her next breath says she’s one too. Poor thing needs Jesus. McLuhan started indifferent to religion but after studying media and technology became a Catholic.
German Idealism is the poison embraced by the American Transcendentalists, which has resulted in the toxicity of radical subjectivity of Postmodernism. Satan was the progenitor of the belief that objective reality could be denied and we decide for ourselves good and evil... and the Devil is a liar, and the father of lies.
There is a reason most of those Post Modernist committed suicide in the end. Logic and Reason bring us closer to the eternal truth and the Prime Mover(GOD).
Welcome! At least Jesus knew dudes are dudes. And no one is confused at what their roles are. He’s pro-family, pro-personal responsibility, pro-private property, pro civic engagement, pro justice and he even had a system for helping the poor to get out of poverty. He’s pro free will.
He legit delivered me from mental illness. I was a hot mess. I’ve seen Him heal people and speak to people. He’s very kind. I hope I can be even I a fraction of the friend to Him that He’s been to me.
Odd way to put that. A Christian nation is one where people are allowed to pursue their own lives peacefully all with a respect for one another based on a common morality.
The problem with a Christian nation is that it inevitably turns into a nation like we have. Immoral people and those that hate Christ CANNOT coexist with those who love him. Their sin is their God and anything that teaches otherwise (even if it doesn't call for action against them), must be blotted out. Straight from the Bible.
Christian peace is always taken advantage of. Case and point....now.
A Christian nation recognizes Christ as universal King. When Christ is recognized as such over every heart and home, everyone lives their life according to his precepts out of love and fear. We are not a Christian nation by any means. The so called "enlightenment" won that battle across all of western civilization. Much like Reagan said that freedom is only one generation away from being extinguished, so is the human binding to the Sacred Heart.
Christian "peace" didn't give us what we have today. A catastrophic failure to transfer traditions and truth from generation to generation did this - the standard result of decadence born of wealth and power. What good is how you got where you are, if you have so much that you can just hand over money to the next generation and forget how you got it? What use is objective morality and reverence of the Almighty when you have wealth and power? What does it matter if your daughters grow up to be harlots, if you can just sedate yourself with the wealth of the age? So on, and so forth.
It was our separation from the virtue of poverty that led to our separation from the virtue of charity, and the separation from that virtue leads to the rapid separation from the virtue of chastity, and you immediately fall in to what we see today - a mimicry of the end of the Roman Empire, and other such decadent empires.
You're not wrong. I'd argue that the deterioration of national law comes to some degree from peace (better word would be complacency) but definitely the fall of the nation is the responsibility of elders.
I don't support an easy follow-up argument that could arise claiming generational wealth is a "bad thing" (you didn't say that), but definitely people forgetting their "roots" will always lead to errant thinking, Christian or not.
This is not a Christian nation. This is a nation founded by a majority od Christian men and women, but we are by no means a theocracy ruled by Christ. The USA is a constitutional Republic and the power resides with We The People. The reason we have drifted so far from our guiding principles is that not enough good men and women sacrifice their time, effort, and resources to public service.
A theocracy is not a Christian nation. A Christian nation is one where Christianity was the majority religion...which it was. And call it what you will, all the tennets of freedom and personal responsibility....family structure...work ethic....moral code....they're all biblical first, adopted later (insert obscure babylonian reference or hindi paradigm and misplaced old testament context here).
I would never advocate for a theocracy and did not claim the US ever was one.
What I meant is that not enough Christian men and women (i.e. "good people") who actually care about the Republic dedicate enough time and effort to public service.
And I stand by my statement that this is not a Christian nation. It is a nation founded by a majority of Christian men and women, but it is not based directly on the Ten Commandments or the words of Jesus. It is based on an agreement of how men and women are to be governed by themselves, not by a dictatorship and not by God directly.
The argument of whether we are ruled by Christ or men in America can be laid to rest with one simple question: In the USA, is the supreme authority of the land vested in the Constitution or the Word of God?
Excellent point, but to be fair, the Constitution was written by God fearing Christian men...so they are intertwined and if we were to get back to our Christian roots and heritage, we would have absolutely no trouble understanding and following the Constitution.
Christ rules over all. Kinda what the whole King of Kings title is all about. He rules over all because he is in control due to the whole God thing going on. You are right, we are not a Christian Nation, but we used to be a Nation of Christians. This country was made for a moral and Godly people, and when the Christians were in control things trended towards liberty. Now that self worshipers and money worshipers control the government everything has gone Cardi B real fast.
We wouldn't want you unless you are a believer also. We tried giving you atheists your way to run the world the last few decades and look where our country is now.
I truly believe the kicking off point is when they banned prayer at public school.
You can either be a Christian, or you can be wrong. Christ is the truth, and once you look into Him, and I mean truly look at the evidence for Christ, it is undeniable that there is only one right answer. I didn't grow up in a Christian household and fell into Atheism, and on a dare that I couldn't prove Christianity false (because unlike most Atheists I was no coward punk bitch who would hide from proving what I thought was true) and at best I thought I would find superstition and claims with no evidence to back it up. Now I am a devout Christian. There is the truth and then there is not. There is Christ and there is being wrong. The end.
You can accept Christ as your Lord, God, and savior, or you can accept eternal separation from the Almighty in death. All of this is passing. Eternity is as described. Your choices here and now echo across that eternity for everyone who comes after you until the end of the age. Your choices here and now echo for you personally in to eternity when you cross the veil.
There is literally nothing else you can be but Christian, or damned. There is one God. He comes to us in three persons, and offers himself freely. Rejecting him is a choice you make, not a choice made for you. Choose wisely. Time is fleeting. Death comes.
Being from the Middle East has nothing at all to do with anything I wrote, unless you want to reduce the whole discussion to race and an infantile understanding of what Christianity is.
More specifically, helicopters. There's not much stopping people from having and servicing one with a helipad on your property, but I don't see too many doing that. I guess they think flying cars will be cheaper 😂.
The best friend of a former boss of mine came by our office to visit once. They got to talking about their early days, when they lived next door to each other in apartments. They were so "poor" that all they had was a card table and a deck of cards, and they would just play Spades to pass the time. They said they were completely happy in those days. Human beings do not require a complicated lifestyle to thrive. Quite the opposite.
Making things gives one a sense of accomplishment and that does a lot for mental health. It gives one confidence. This is another reason we have drifted - we no longer make a lot by hand. We go to Walmart and buy junk made in China. Convenient but rootless.
My workshop is honestly the thing keeping me sane right now. A table saw doesn't care about your subjective "truth", it has a spinning blade of objective truth. Add in concrete solvable problems, the endorphins from growth of skills and accomplishing tasks, distraction, physical activity....
I don't want to live in a supposed "advanced civilization" that is in fact controlled by mega corporations. We already see legacy media and big tech controlling information for the majority of people. Supermarkets like Walmart are destroying small businesses in cities. Wall street controls our money. Individualism is dying because of these unbalanced powers.
In other words: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Meek is a very horrible translation of the original greek. It originally was used for a trained warhorse that wasn't afraid to charge into battle and wasn't frightened by attacks.
"CONCLUSION
Meekness is a quality of mild-mannered and self-controlled gentlemen and gentlewomen, and it is a quality of animals that are tame or gentle with humans. It is neither a masculine nor a feminine virtue, but is one of many Christian virtues. Being praus is not an expression of manliness or machismo, and it is the antithesis of arrogance, anger, and aggression."
More like "Give Jesus your troubles."
Also, you maybe be violating the third commandment here.... I know you mean well. Just don't misuse God.
"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain" (Exodus 20:7).
This isn't taking the name of the Lord in vain by any means. It is the eternal message of Christ - forbid the world, bind to he who made you, who saves you, who ushers you in to eternity - for better or for worse. The latter bit is entirely up to you.
Christ was incredibly clear that we were to reject the modern world when he walked the Earth - when it was modern even to those living then. It is the only path to Him.

Christian teachings/ethics are the basis for the Logos. To even attempt to subvert that as the post modernists have makes you an enemy of humanity
Precisely so. I recommend everyone read C.S. Lewis' essay 1944 "The Poison of Subjectivism" --- which is really about the poison of Postmodernism.
There is a reason most of those Post Modernist committed suicide in the end. Logic and Reason bring us closer to the eternal truth and the Prime Mover(GOD).
The funny thing is is that concept basically is it's own undoing.
"Oh reality doesn't exist you say? Guess that means you have no rights."

None of what you're saying is new or unique.
Looking at all that’s new and unique in our modern culture, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I don't think it'd necessarily be bad in any case, just not as weighty or convincing as he'd probably like.
You can accept Christ as your Lord, God, and savior, or you can accept eternal separation from the Almighty in death. All of this is passing. Eternity is as described.

As above so below.
That hand sign is MUCH older than Baphomet who only came into the world at around the 17th century.
