If you see me speaking of some evil as regards ideology or social trend I am not offering a solution to these. That is not my job. Oh, there is a solution. But that is to seek Christ and repent of the sins that make our lives miserable to varying degrees as well as being unfit for God and in alienation and defiance to Him.
No. I speak of such and such - and my latest target is feminism which I now see as idolatry - out of merely what I call moral accounting: to see some thing as sin that God may lead me to repent of it in my own personal quest.
But Man will not repent. That is a given. therefore, because there is no other alternative, Man is doomed, as is society at large.
Thus I have no interest in advocacy. I see posts on blogs and websites speaking about such evils as for example, post modernism where they seek to offer some alternative, some practical solution that Man, in defiance of God and without His counsel, can seek to initiate in the vain hope of producing something other than merely the opposite error, which quest will merely be rinsed and repeated as sociey at large continues to lurch like a drunkard from one error to its opposite error.
Repent or not. Believe or not. It is none of my business which you do, but it comes down to either one of these. Or not.
But I offer no solution as I am increasingly convinced that clear eyed vision requires the stark acknowlegement that there is no solution other than, of course, the God we humans will routinely refuse or only pretend to acknowledge.
For moral law, which is all men can try to push on one another, and ultimately this is all it is, even when watered down and rewritten according to fancy of who ever is peddling it solved nothing ,as St Paul clearly said yet such is the way that seems right to men and which leads to death.
I learn what to repent of. But not even that means i can repent but the Lord the Spirit lead me in one on one counsel.
For example, I believe I completed the case against legalism year ago. But I am still an ingrained legalist. I was taught moral self effort with my mother's milk so to speak, and I have made it my life, even when the effort is literally killing me - and you may be sure that as I am striving with all the brute force I was taught to use according to my insight of my own sin, the effort will kill me if i do not give it up.
So I await the continuing grace of God, even to the point of arguing against it to Him. And in his one on one answered to me I shall repent of even my own righteousness eventually.
I know no no other solution for me, and would not dream of offering any to any other.
Let those who seek olitics seek to polish the brasses on a sinking ship. My moral accounting of things precludes this in biblical logic just as my moral accounting for my own proud struggle in defiance of my own insight shows my own struggle is also sin.
And His grace continues . There is literally nothing else
