Further, post-liberal Philosophers [29[ correctly argue that all human experience is mediated through language and culture. Our experience is merely a personal subjective form of contemporary culture with its associated value system. Therefore to appeal to experience when there is a conflict between contemporary culture (e.g. in its acceptance of homosexual behaviour) and Christian teaching tradition is nonsensical! To make something as ephemeral and contradictory as experience a primary basis of theology as revisionists clearly do is questionable in the extreme.

The long view is comforting, since these moral dalliances, as threatening as they are to social and moral order, as dangerous as they are to salvation, are indeed ephemeral. We must speak up, protesting, debating, risking persecution and personal ruin, to proclaim what Jesus taught, what the Church has always and consistently taught. A wonderful, if lengthy posting. Thanks, as usual, sionnsar.

The "German Christians" abandoned Christian orthodoxy, and shaped an ideology for themselves that was subservient to National Socialist fascism. But the real goal of the Nazis was to destroy Christianity, and replace it with a form of paganism.

The contemporary revisionist "Christians" have abandoned Christian orthodoxy, and are shaping an ideology for themselves that is subservient to New World Order international fascism. But the real goal of the international fascists is to destroy Christianity, and replace it with a form of paganism (i.e., the New World Religion, being concocted by the "United Religions" movement at the UN, headed by Episcopal "Bishop" Swing of California).
