You're trusting them to provide definitions of all the "isms".
“You’re trusting them to provide definitions of all the “isms”.
Spirited: There is no one, including you-—>tacticalogic, who does not ultimately place his trust, faith and hope in the veracity of someone else. For faithful Christians, this is Jesus Christ God Incarnate. For unbelievers it is other men.
It is obvious from your hostility-and-suspicion laced reactions that your trust-—your faith-—is in the inventors of the ‘isms’ to some extent, greater or smaller, and your stubborn pride refuses to accept that they are of dubious character, to put it mildly.
So what is an “ism”? It is a vain philosophy or conception contrived by morally and intellectually corrupt man to gratify some deeply felt need through deception of the gullible resulting in the empowerment the inventor who becomes in one way or another a cult leader. From Nimrod to Buddha, Swedenborg, Comte, Darwin, Karl Marx, Nietzsche, Teilhard de Chardin, Jim Jones, Sai Baba and other Eastern god-men, all are cult leaders promising some sort of salvation from the sufferings of this world.
Marxism for example, is a multiple level philosophy grounded in Marx’s hatred of and envy toward Jehovah God and His hierarchy of created order of being. As a further outworking of his envy, it is his death wish toward God’s spiritual image bearers.
So on one level Marxism is both a celebration of the ‘awesome’ intellectual powers of the Great Marx Himself (Pride of Mind) and a declaration of his triumph over God, meaning that Marx has “decapitated” Jehovah God and seized control of spiritual being so as to reorder it in gratification of his felt-needs.
This brings us to a second level of meaning: Marx’s messianic image of himself. Marx is the New Christ, the gnostic messiah, the man-god who delivers souls from the evil Jehovah, creator of the evil matter in which souls-—but his own soul specifically-— are trapped.
So on another level of meaning, Marx wants to liberate his soul from God. He wants to be a morally and intellectually perfect free spirit who can say: I Am I, I come from myself; I Am perfect in every way. I Am the New Christ possessed of the awe-inspiring power to create paradise on earth, so come to me, all you who suffer the gnawing, gnashing, grinding teeth of covetousness and envy and I will bring you peace and prosperity in paradise where all conditions making for covetousness and envy have been resolved.
This brings us to the real meaning and intent of Marxist Communism. Though it promises deliverance to the sinful masses its real intent is the deliverance of total power in the hands of the most terrible willed, the sociopaths and psychopaths whose monstrously inflated pride, covetousness and envy requires accumulation of all wealth, status, property, resources, and privilege in the hands of the few.
Ultimately, liberation of soul from the Triune God is why the terrible-willed Marx and many other rebels against the Triune God embraced philosophically materialist Darwinism.
Dr. Wolfgang Smith, physicist and mathematics professor at Oregon State University, clearly sees through the ‘scientific’ pretensions of revolutionary and/or modernist progressive liberal philosophies.
The doctrine of Evolution and Darwinism in particular, said Smith, is a gnostic myth. Its’ appeal is not scientific but spiritual:
“...As a scientific theory, Darwinism would have been jettisoned long ago. The point, however, is that the doctrine of evolution has swept the world, not on the strength of its scientific merits, but precisely in its capacity as a Gnostic myth. It affirms, in effect, that living things created themselves, which is in essence a metaphysical claim....Thus...evolutionism is a metaphysical doctrine decked out in scientific garb....it is a scientistic myth. And the myth is Gnostic, because it implicitly denies the transcendent origin of being; for indeed, only after the living creature has been speculatively reduced to an aggregate of particles does Darwinist transformism become conceivable. Darwinism, therefore, continues the ancient Gnostic practice of deprecating ‘God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth.’ It perpetuates...the venerable Gnostic tradition of ‘Jehovah bashing.’” (From Old Gnosticism to New Age I, Alan Morrison, SCP Journal Vol. 28:4-29:1, 2005, pp. 30-31)
Intellectually and morally corrupt men cannot deliver us from our suffering. Only our Savior Jesus Christ God Incarnate who shed His precious blood on the cross for the remission of sin can heal our souls and deliver us.
