“This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning. ‘My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.’”
We are presented with two views of history, that incredibly compete for attention in this country. We must reject the premises of the cultural Marxist because Cultural Marxism itself cannot live peaceably with federal republicanism or individual autonomy, and in fact must replace it.
Karl Marx says, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms of creatures identified to be irradicated or dominated. There is no perception or acknowledgement of eternity where our Lord resides. In this country some people are able to resolve the principles of Marxism to support the creation of White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, and Critical Race Theory.
The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. In this expression, the Creator reaches into our world from eternity to endow individual humans with inestimable value, while cautioning government to consider its own fallibility.
Thank you for posting and HELLO MR NESS!!! *waves* Hope you and your family are doing well! xoxo
Those who truly walk with Jesus know the difference between doing in ones heart what is right toward others yourself and paying government to do it for you when the government charges a 90% facilitation fee.
One message from the Bible sums it all up:
“Anyone who won’t work shouldn’t be allowed to eat.”
2 Thessalonians 3:6-18.
Various translations make it clear, if you do NOT want to work, you shall not eat.
Those unable to work are to be treated differently, compassion, fed, cared for.
Sounds harsh? No, the rewards of working for a living are to many to list.
Well hello
Amen and good words
Exactly
His kingdom is not of this world, and thus does not comport with any political structure we, as fallen creatures, might attempt to establish.
Truth can always be difficult to expect
“Their goal is to convince Christians that their Social agenda is morally equivalent with the teachings and life of Jesus Christ”
If you notice, moral equivalency is the latest liberal attack on the REAL truth.
Using that warped logic on everything from everybody utters misstatements and has lapse of memory like biden, to the Isreal Hamas conflict and everything in between.
And if you ask me, the narrative of moral equivalency is straight out of hell....and I mean that literally.
I tend to interpret that passage as applicable to those St. Paul was addressing, namely Christians in the Churches he was given to establish and nurture. It tends not to serve well as a political axiom or a means to motivate the unchurched.
Jesus surely loved the poor and downtrodden. And he asked us to do like.
But he surely did not ask to give more money to Herod or Pilate, and let them help the poor!
Jesus charity was all private, no government to be included.
As a doctor imagine how much he could have made!
Exactly
In Luke 23:1-2 Jesus’ opponents say that He’s a tax-hater undermining a strong secular government. LOL
Socialism is for the lazy...
They want ‘government’ to take care of people so they don’t have to.
Liberals plan to stand before Jesus and say, “But Lord, I gave other people’s money to the poor!” They hope to buy salvation just like they buy the approval of others - with OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY!
To which they will sadly be disappointed.
Congratulations, sir. A small note: a few of your “Christian Links” page need checking.
