John Wayne Whitehead, Constitutional lawyer, prolific author. One of my favorites, although I haven't read him lately. But back in the day, I read and annotated "The Second American Revolution," "The Stealing of America," and "The End of Man," plus other separate articles. Supported the Rutherford Institute, when I could.

Thanks for posting this one, FRiend!

Thinking back, my memory was refreshed when I recalled having a videotape IIRC made with Frankie Schaeffer. It the end, what put a distance between me and Whitehead's theological views was that he was greatly influenced by R. J. Rushdoony, who is/(was?) of the Reformed ilk, with the idea that God's plan for history was that Christians would multiply and reconstruct a global society fit for the returning Jesus Christ to step in and start running His Earthly Kingdon built by His (millennia)(Presbyterian/Dutch Reformed/Lutheran) Church of disciple-priests.

That terminated any association that I might have withbthese amillennia Reconstructionists, since I am thoroughly and Scripturally convinced of a coming premillennial Rapture, seven years of Christless misery on earth, followed by a thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, before the final tally is executed, and humans who have died without forgiveness set on fire for eternity.

So be warned, when you read Whitehead, be sure that behind his writing is the indercurrent that he believes Christians are going to save the world through eliminating resistance to Christian morality.

If you choose to believe that is true prophecy, well then, that's up to you. Current continual defining of deviancy downward does not seem to indicate that Rushdoony, Whitehead, and generally Reformed theology is way out of whack.

Well, almost everyone is incorrect with their religious beliefs.

AHHhhh; Rushdoony… the good, ol’ Dominion Theology guy!

Sorry; but I just cannot buy into the reasoning behind it.
