A First Post on nationalism and globalism

I regard globalism as a great and terrible evil.

I posted the following on a blog site which applauded nationalism as a virtue,  But . .

 . . . I do not agree that nationalism, touted as the remedy for such  is a virtue. I am well aware that God set up the nations, but he did so as recorded in the Tower of Babel event ; to keep man in separated groups lest his energies be pooled and unspeakable evil come about.

At best nationalism is a pragmatic strategy on the part of the Living God in the face of human sin. It is a lesser evil.

Why? The nations - all of them - rage against God and devise a vain thing (Psalm 2). I have never seen a patriot who was not an idolator; and no they do not love God, not when their love for their nation still has them treat their neighbour - the poor of their nations - with contempt. Besides if the nations are so good why are they in such a state of perpetual war such that some foolish minds hope to abolish war by abolish the nations? War is in our bones, not in our political constitutions

And let us consider that the story of the so called Good Samaritan the Samaritan in question did a good deed to someone his own people loathed and despised; and the feeling between Jews and Samaritans was mutual. Such mercy is not the hallmark of a patriot.

I am not a patriot. I act as a good citizen only because God commands me not to discredit the Gospel by bad behaviour, but my home is not this earth, for I am a citizen of heaven and a sojourner on this earth

Let us also grant that the Globalists are correct on the evils nationalism has spawned. The 20th century is full of the wreckage it produced. But the Globalists, in reaction to this undeniable fact want to go lurching like a drunkard blindly into something infinitely worse.

Globalism is of the devil, but the two evils here are not equal, for globalism is much, much worse.

But as we men are all evil we can only appeal to another idolatry (nationalism) to oppose an idolatry (Globalism).

Certainly Bergoglio - i will not dignify him with the papal name he arrogated to himself - has denied the Christian faith on more than one occasion.

I will let the mad frenzy of the nations continue to rage as scripture says they do. The farce will play itself out even if and when it ends with them achieving their one world dystopia. For dystopia it is, of such horror that Christ Himself must descend to earth with his host of saints in His retinue to destroy it.

But all in due time

Are we the Last Generation

One oft cited proof that we are in the last generation is the passage in Matthew 24:32 about the fig tree. It is taken to be the nation of Israel and so its foundation in 1948, or its flourishing in 1967, are taken as proof that this generation will witness the Second Coming of Christ

The thing about the fig tree is that sometimes a fig tree is only a fig tree and nothing more, and certainly is not the nation of Israel. Why is this? Luke 21:28-30" And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand."

If the fig tree is the nation of Israel then clearly ALL THE TREES would flourish whereby we would know that summer was near and so therefore was His coming. All the nations? Clearly not. So what the mere fact of this plural, all the trees, shows is that the fig tree was not Israel. So what we are left with is that there is no biblical nor rational linking of the restoration of the Nation of Israel with the last generation. The fig tree was only a fig tree and not symbolic of Israel.

So are we in the last generation? given the current upsurge of nationalism in response to globalism my considered opinion is that the climate is not right for a one world government which is a necessary precursor for the Second Coming, for the Beast must be in place and in power before Christ come to overthrow him. And he is not at this time.

Moreover if any say that it must be in this generation end up dying of old age without it happening then they have only discredited the whole notion of the second coming in the eyes of the world. and for that, God assures us, they will pay

Context is an amazing thing. Immediately before Paul spoke of the rapture of the church he told us to live quiet lives, do our own jobs and mind our own business (I Thessalonians 4:11).

So if we are running around like mad things, carnally excited by the prospect of His coming before lunch time next Tuesday we are not in the sabbath rest of the believer spoken of in the letter to the Hebrews and so are not prepared for His coming

Certainly Christ is coming. But i am likely to be among the dead in Christ when it happens, that is to say it will not be in my lifetime.

Next issue, please! something of practical import!

How I live today is of more practical moment that obsessing over times we were not given the authority to know (Acts 1:6-8

The Gillette ad: feminist porn

Anti feminist academic and scholar Dr Janice Fiamengo of the University of Ottawa has responded to that vicious piece of man shaming the Gillette ad.
 
She speaks also of the maker of the this.

Dr Fiamengo  also describes  this obscenity as feminist porn  with perfect aptness

A Reply to Gillette Man Shaming

No doubt everyone has seen the new Gillette ad, which is pure sexist man shaming and blaming.

Not only have they bought into the feminist narrative, which is sexist by definition for it ignores the sins of women totally and blames men only  for women's  own evil (ie "men drove us to it") if they do sometimes acknowledge such, but the ad was heavy handed and preachifying

This is the typical method of the ideologue fanatic. Any arrogance  is justified, the think, because of the real or imagined truth of their  cause. This zealotry is as old as time itself. But the feminist and their allies have forgotten that the 17th century Puritans were much the same and as hated, which is why they fled to the Americas in and after 1620 there to exterminate indigenous peoples.

It  is not the business of merchants selling anything  to preach; and only shows the raw cynicism  of that whoring in the market place  which business has descended to.

Indeed to insult their  customer base is imbecility. They make razors mostly for men, and think it a virtue to insult men and blamed them for everything with no peek as to the evil of women also - which is to say have adopted the feminist narrative

But a video in reply to this toxic ad points out that the boot is to be worn on both feet, in other words that  women are sinners too.

And here it is


This is why feminism is nothing but man hating,  the embittered utterances of a female supremacist group seeking nothing but exemptions and privileges - any group out for justice would be even handed in its denunciation of evil.

Unfortunately there is one error in this vid common to the Gillette piece, and this at the end of it, the appeal to the solution. And this is, namely  the belief that we can be better people by resolving to do so . anyone who has tried this has failed. it is easy for virtue signalling hypocrites who have never seriously tried to be better to  demand this. To these I say go and try, and WHEN you have failed, with a spectacular agony commensurate with the effort, then you are ready to talk, or perhaps listen. for nothing but woe will follow this, the woe of another generation of repressed hypocrites , and so the cycle goes round and round again

If cultural appropriation is real . . . .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aynfMtX0fiY


If cultural appropriation is real then it always was an atrocity. Therefore the aficionados thereof must go back through history to purge the art of the past of said vile evil.

Of course the very notion of cultural appropriation is absurd. Those who espouse this are looking for something to be angry at for in a soul so jaded as this only anger and hate can move it to any kind of heat. And how much more satisfying they think it when the cause in whose name  they are angry  can be identified, no matter how irrationally, as righteous

Mozart did culturally appropriate music from the Turks, namely the Ottoman Empire, whose music was all the rage in Vienna in the late 18th century.

The cross fertilisation of cultures is how cultures grow.

But it really is bizarre that they want multiculturalism, calling "Diversity" a strength when it merely corrodes the unity of a nation, yet refuse to allow the cultures to interact, screaming "appropriation!!" when they do

Truly it seems to me that  liberal guilt has become liberal self hatred but with the added problem that like all missionary minds they have to inflict this self hatred on everyone else

I submit that every person who follows this link to the Turkish March by Mozart will know the piece.  It is one of the few classical pieces recognizable by everyone, even if they cannot identify the work or composer

Hopefully those who listen to this rendition of the March will also recognise the arrogant absurdity of Political Correctness pushed to this degree.

That they think they should push  to this degree shows how absurd they are. But if they have not that only shows how lazy and inconsistent they are.

Puritans without a religion are as dangerous as those with one. And make no mistake, the Social Justice Warrior who is none of the components of his title, being a spoiled child with a grudge looking for something to be angry at, and the rest of the PC brigades, are nothing but latter day Puritans.

And of course knowing nothing of history except where they rewrite it to justify their self hatred and oikophobia, are dangerous.

Any attempt to make a Utopia is dangerous

On Church Creeds

Church creeds have been useful. In an age where people could not read and when Bibles were so rare that most had no access to them because the price of hand copying a book was prohibitive reciting a Creed at Mass or Service every Sunday was a useful way of teaching people doctrine. But in my considered opinion the abuse of creeds is something that outweighs their value. So I oppose Creeds So why do I oppose creeds? Not because they profess to believe something, not because they offer purported truth, but because they are legalistic repressive devices. How many will confess their unbelief as sin to God after having recited a church creed where they stated as truth something they in fact do NOT believe?  Clearly a creedal statement makes a hypocrite of a person. For commitment to a doctrine is not the same thing as believing it. This is the kind of intellectualism which is the very essence of hypocrisy. After 40 years a Christian I now know how utterly jam packed with heresy and unbelief I am. I am learning that my commitment to doctrine is intrinsically dishonest; and so my refusal to admit to God what my life shows what I really believe only complicates things and delays my healing. For my pain stems from my unbelief, from my legalism, which his unbelief, and my clinging by brute force to doctrines of grace, which in fact is nothing to do with what scripture commands when it says hold fast to what good. Rather such is the counterfeit, the abuse of the command. As I discovered years ago my legalism is no remedy to any sin at all. It is a symptom of the sin it fights. In fact it is the very sin it fights for if I truly believed in the love of God or His forgiveness I would rest in it without strain. The strain is force is therefore force, so is unbelief, not faith. The same goes for legalism of thought or belief as it does for legalism of action. Only the unwilling heart has to force itself to do good works; only the unbelieving mind has to force itself to strain to hold to true doctrine Our fruit are very revealing as to what we really believe. If we do not have peace rest and joy we do not believe the gospel, for all our commitment to the doctrines Here I am not denying doctrinal truth as a matter considered principle. Far from it! For I assert that it was the grace of God that got me to even consider the fact of my unbelief let alone face it. Of course He does this  that eventually He might produce repentance of sin leading to real belief rather than that which I have, (except for the barest minimum which makes  me a Christian in the first place) which  belief is  forced and feigned. For me to recite any church creed  would be sheer hypocrisy and I would not do it. What shows what we believe? OUR LIVES - by which I do not mean any forced good work, but our spontaneous reactions and careless words. Look at those and we see what our creeds are really worth, which is why we prefer to focus on mere propositional truth  lest our responses to such be revealed. it is not for nothing that to the world "church" and "hypocrite" are synonymous. If we want abundant lives, as Jesus both promised and commanded that we have, let us face the unbelief whereby we are without rest peace or joy. Let us face our unbelief, or, more importantly, let us be in a relationship with the Spirit that He will lead us to face it In so doing we will find love, joy and peace, the real thing not the feigned will of the flesh counterfeit which we so vainly call discipleship. For if we will not do this under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit we will be the tree that never bears fruit. And Jesus Himself warns us as to the fate of it
