betty: This I suppose would be news to those people who hold human history in so much contempt
Spirited: But then time (unfolding story of history) itself is one of their primary enemies.
God the Father called all things into existence, set celestial bodies in motion and time began to tick away the days and the story of history to unfold. Its’ unfolding had one end and no other: the Kingdom of God.
Thus history itself is therefore an enemy. How to escape? By turning time back upon itself. By uncreating history/reality/mankind(Darwinism), Nietzsche’s eternal return, reincarnation.
” How to escape? By turning time back upon itself. By uncreating history/reality/mankind(Darwinism),...”
Spirited: I negelected to add that modern theories of evolution, i.e. Darwinism, assault time in a different way. They place time on an eternal escalator going ‘up, up, up.’
This way there can be neither stabilty nor tradition, let alone fixed truth-claims, moral absolutes, enduring principles, and natural law as there is only change-—change everlasting.
And what becomes of Jesus Christ, for imperial change bypasses Him as well?
