When will the Killing Start?

The radical Left have always been Utopians.

They believe that Man is perfectible, therefore they are committed to the means of making man better - not to the betterment of his material state  - but are committed to  the changing of his nature.

But this is the essence of totalitarianism.

This is because in order to change men to the extent they require the Leftists  must take over everything required to produce this:, education, social interactions - the feminist need to control all interactions between men and women by legal fiat as an example of this and proof that feminism itself is a totalitarian ideology - indeed they must take over all of society in order to effect this re education.

I found on the Internet some time ago the origin of the term totalitarian. It made chilling reading

"Everything within the State, Nothing outside of the State, Nothing against the State." This term was coined by either Mussolini or one of his associates.

And what has the State to do with this? They seek to do this by law and how else but through the coercive mechanism of the State.

That is why the feminist dictum the personal is the political is so dangerous -  among other things It blurs the  distinction between the public and private, allowing the State to interfere in the private lives of persons.

"Everything within the State, Nothing outside of the State . . . . "

the thing is the human heart cannot be reeducated. it cannot even be commanded, The purpose of the Law God, incidentally, was not to command the heart of Man, although imperative language was used, it was something else, as I have dealt with  or will deal with elsewhere on this blog .

Globalism, which is part of Leftist Utopianism,  thinks that what they call "diversity" and "inclusion"  will have all the communities of humanity come together around the campfire of the world and sing kumbaya.

this is fuelled by sheer sentimentality, and their advocacy of such nonsense is nothing but virtue signalling by those too lazy to learn some history.

what it will do is put the cats of all men in a sack and throw it in a river. chaos will result. they hope to end war by ending difference. but people are different and so they will fight.

they always have and they always will

Mass immigration is in the same category.  Even if the prosperous nations should share their well being with the poorer, people will, as a matter of plain fact,  resent mass influxes of foreigners, fearing, rightly or wrongly , that such will steal their jobs and disrupt their way of life. and it is seen that many of these migrants have no intention of assimilating, and in the case of Muslim immigration to the West, enclaves  of such, not finding the prosperity they hoped for, will become radicalised and produce its own crop of terrorists

this is all deplorable but the leftist solution is much, much worse.

The thing is God required the nations to be separate. In the Babel account, Genesis chapter 11, God sundered the languages of Man as man would not disperse. They were disperse for God knew what great evil will arise when Man unites. This is on the way to happening and the ultimate defiance of this will be the final one world government of the Beast

totalitarian regimes have always thought that they could force others to think what they think, with only contempt for opposing views.

We see this in such violence and bigotry from the Left these days, the thugs of Antifa and feminist hooligans disrupting meetings of MRA

But some totalitarian regimes have been Right Wing, the Nazis for example. But now the Left is fully on board with this utterly illiberal agenda

We should love one another?

Indeed. But do we? Have we ever?

Just read some history or look at the news, or simply use your own eyes and see what is in front of them.

An attempt to force what is foreign to human nature will always fail spectacularly proportionate to the amount of effort invested in it.

I know this from personal experience as I tried to change my self in accordance, I so blindly thought, to the Law of God.

So what we have is an ideology so opposed to human nature that though some will submit and devoutly try to produce the appearance required by feminism, identity politics, diversity, globalism etc (and appearance is all they can do) there are some who know full well that they cannot and will not live under such in ideology.

So they must be got rid of, especially if they resist reeducation.

A former friend of mine, a leftist, told me in all seriousness that there were some people she did not want living on this planet any more. I was chilled and horrified by the illiberal cruelty of one who thinks herself a kind and liberal person.

So, to the title of this piece

when will the killing start?

It has happened before, as under Stalin and Pol Pot, and even Lenin believed in shedding rivers of blood. and on the Right for his Utopian vision was of a return to an idealised and thus non existent traditional past, Adolf  Hitler

Any PC "liberal" who blindly thinks that true and peaceful unity will be produced d by political or social fiat should look inwards and try to change themselves. When they have failed they would, if they had any humility or sense, know that if they cannot change themselves they cannot change others. So their Utopian dream is both false and dangerous. As they all are

The world is evil, all of us. and it is still the case that unless we repent we will perish.

All of us


I must made a concluding note.

I am no Rightist. The Right always has been the party of the deceitfulness of riches. But it is a testimony to the thoroughgoing rot and madness of the Left that the Right simply makes more sense most of the time than the Left does, yet not to the rectitude of the Right.

God's kingdom is not of this world.

I will not be of its politics, for politics is the art of the possible as conceived by the contemptible for politics is the art of trying to live without God - especially when His named is blasphemed by being invoked, a sin the Right is often given to.

And living without God makes all of us contemptible

The Nations, Patriotism and the Left/Right Divide - brief

I am a  christian. Why am i not a patriot? Because the Bible says that i am a foreigner in this world, my citizenship is in heaven, the world - the whole world -  is in opposition to God,  the nations are insignificant drops in the bucket. I am commanded to behave myself that the gospel of christ be not discredited because of me and my loyalty is to God - or at least should be and i am repenting of the shortfall as it arises -  and  not to anything else. and as Jesus said no man can serve two masters - not that he ought not do so but that it was an impossibility - how can one be a patriot as well as a Christian? Loving my neighbour is one thing, indeed it is one thing patriots are significantly lacking in when they have such contempt for the poor among their own countrymen. So their love for their country is an abstraction, an idea, in fact it is an idol, the very sin of idolatry

As for the conservative /liberal question: the love of Christ is so rare that it is not traditional for the trad forms of church religion are without this love and always have been . Indeed biblical agape love is so radical that the conservatives cannot accept it any more than atheist Leftists can - and the conservatives certainly cannot produce it. But I will give the Left one tiny measure of credit. As most of them seem to me to be atheists they do not so easily blaspheme the Name of God by invoking it to back their political schemes as so many of the Right are wont to do So I am no patriot and no conservative, but I am no longer a leftist either. For I come to reject totally the notion that Man is perfectible, which is the very staple of Leftist thought. I regard my shift here as that which God wills and leads

Equal Rights

If you believe in equal rights for men AND women you become an antifeminist



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ofbYMFLHzY&t=989s

Feminism is a movement seeking privilege for women. not equality, and is based on such egregious errors that I can only hold these errors to be lies  consciously propounded by their theorists

I have rejected feminism

I have rejected feminism.

I was a feminist, or, as I called it, a feminist sympathiser, for some 40 years. I called  myself a sympathiser because I held that as  no man could ever know what it is like to be a member of that most utterly oppressed class, namely, women,  then I had no right to call myself a feminist.

My rejection happened just on a year ago, August 2017. The Documentary film The Red Pill, by Cassie Jaye, is what finally did it to me.

But by far the most formidable mind I have ever encountered on this subject is Karen Straughan. Her use of logic is ferocious, and I  offer the below link to her searing insight.

I may write more of my own on this issue later

naming the antichrist

People have been seeking to name the Antichrist for centuries, even millennia. Of course they have always got it wrong. I believe that they have approached the issue from the entirely wrong angle. Prophecy is not given that we can set dates. I have already argued on this one, and in my opinion naming names for the Man of Sin when he is not yet here is much the same species of unbelief. I contend that it is not faith to need to know who he is beforehand, but rather presumption Rather than trying to figure out who the Antichrist is beforehand we should wait till something is done which will confirm his role and then look at who he is. This, i assert, is precisely what the data given in scripture is for, to help us to recognise who is is when he arrives and not before, so that we may respond to him properly when, if he is not arrived, there is no need to such a response That is to say we should turn the whole enterprise on its head and wait for an occurrence which will say "HEY THERE! PAY ATTENTION!"  Now that will at least be the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem because until there is a Temple in Jerusalem there will be no means of stopping a sacrifice which has not started yet. I know there is talk among religious Jews of rebuilding said temple, but i am quite sure that God Almighty, having declared its significance, will actively prevent its rebuild until he decides the time is right In other words - and this is the bedrock of my belief on this matter - no Temple, no proper time. So speculation is pointless and indeed is a sin. So until the Temple is rebuilt much talk on end times is empty speculation. I have long held that wondering on who the beast is is a blasphemous exercise. \ It also leads to further ridicule of the name of Christ when we make bold utterances which are proven false. It is best that we refrain, but, no, alas we usually will not learn this, and so continue or folly I will repeat here that we were not given data to identify him beforehand, we were given data to recognise  him WHEN, having arrived, HE DOES CERTAIN THINGS. Scripture after all does say take no thought for tomorrow for sufficient to the day is the evil thereof. We will deal with the Beast when he gets her and not before. And if some things are done which indicates he is the Beast I will take a look at who the world leader is who stops the sacrifice, declares himself God, when he does it, and not before, if I am not already martyred by him. If he is a Syrian Muslim, well and good, but if he is an eastern roman Jew, once commonly held as a view before 9/11 also well and good. Until then eschatology is a comparative sideshow  and too much interest in it can be idolatrous. i do not regard it as absurd that i will be dead and buried of old age before the temple is rebuilt now that i am nearly 60 and have been a Christan for nearly 40 years. It is the time to repent of our sins, wait on the Lord and be led by His spirit  NOW  It is still the case we are to walk in the Spirit now and let tomorrow take care of itself. If we are so focused on the ultimate of final days as to forget the leading of the Spirit her and now our endeavour will be wasted work, for to ignore the Spirit too may times is to fall away to perdition

To readers: please help.

I have received a notification from the site this blog resides in about a change in European Union Law requiring some notification about cookies to be shown. Not being part of the EU I cannot see this notification.

I have no patience with the tech side of things. It seems that the notice should be seen by people viewing my blog from within the EU. But I can not figure out how to see if it is there

Please notify me if you can, or cant see such a notice,  by replying  as a comment .

I would rather not be in infringement of law if I could avoid it

Politics and the abuse of Good Ideas

If evil people get hold of a good idea does it not stand to reason that they will abuse and distort it to their own selfish purposes?

Before I answer who the evil people in question are  or might be i will talk about some good ideas that  are or may be subject to such abuse.

The Left have the good idea that people should care for one another and help each other, for no man is an island.

The Right  believe that individuals should take responsibility for themselves.

I would say that both are good ideas, but as selected by both wings of the political spectrum they are forced into a false dichotomy which is simply not logically required.

So who are the evil people that would abuse such ideas?

Scripture is clear. There is none righteous, no not one. Jesus, by way of a casual throw away line, while talking about the gift of God said to his disciples "if you being evil, can give good gifts to your children . . . . " Matthew 7:11

He took the evil of men for granted.

As regards politics what do we see?

That men should look out for one another became a license for mass murder under Marxism. For what was to be done with those deemed unwilling to do so? And now people foolishly want the State to do everything for them, not only keep then fed and sheltered, a requirement I, as a former Leftist might still find valid, but to give their empty lives meaning and happiness, and if the government cannot do this they expect the governments of the Left these days to punish  those who dare afflict their feelings, hence the madness which is Political Correctness. And they think that the nature of Man can be remade, re educated, to change man into something better. Such Utopian fantasies are always totalitarian

That men should be responsible for their own welfare morphed into "I'm OK, to hell with you ,mate."
Any kind of justice in the cried of the poor  is written off as the politics of envy, as Jim Bolger, former New Zealand Prime Minister did back in the 1990's after the welfare state was severely cut in this country. He either had no clue as to the plight of the poor, or did not want to have any clue of such. Scripture calls this the deceitfulness of riches where by a rich man  thinks he got rich by his own moral merit and thus his wealth is a sign of his own righteousness. There is very little in this world which is more foul than such an attitude. and of course the purpose of preaching individual responsibility is to keep the workers at their benches

Now I am a generous man, when both sides  of the spectrum hurl accusations to each other I agree with them all, except where logic render them contradictory.

Because all are evil and all abuse  everything in some way or another - even if only by means of  making an idol out of it to ignore God the Spirit - it follows that it is empty self righteousness for a political party or wing to accuse the other side of being evil while trumpeting either by word or attitude that they themselves are not, for all are evil.

Thus political factionalism is always self righteous, arrogant and just plain foolish

some parties are more evil than others perhaps?

Well, perhaps indeed. But do we vote for the lesser evil?

that empowers the lesser evil if they win the election, and as power corrupts they become a greater evil than previously.

It might in the short term be saner to have a lesser evil in power, but only in the short term, and the debasement of all political parties, to be met by the self righteous naivete of new parties who think they will be different - truly there is nothing new under the sun!  will indeed continue

Of course the corruption might only be a conceit and arrogance of a Prime Minister who has been in office for too long - and be assured I myself have seen this in my own country of New Zealand, but would that we could be so lucky as to have evils only come singly instead of clusters, as they always do

So what is the solution?

The Age of Reform, as I might call it, starting in the 18th century, is coming to an end as the reforms themselves unravel. and they unravel because or  giving you neighbour a fair break is contrary to human nature and humans can only pretend against their own selves for so long.

My parents' generation were lucky enough to live under the humane reforms of this Age of Reform at its very peak. My parents were too young for world War II and had a lifetime of prosperity  previously undreamed of until their deaths in 2007 and 2009 respectively. And they were not wealthy, but working class all their lives

This state of affairs is now unravelling and I need point to no evidence for what is plainly visible.

It is said, often by those who really should know better, that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

If true then evil will triumph. And indeed it will. For there are no good people. I like to say that if I ever met a good person I would kick his backside and tell him to get moving, he has a world to save. But I speak in ironic jest, for there really are none.

God Himself will let Man drink the cup of his rebellion to the bitter dregs, and at some point He will remove or allow to be removed whatever it is that restrains (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4)  Man from  the full viciousness of his own nature.

And when in this instance all hell is let loose this will be the Great Tribulation and Christ will return only at the end of it.

Get involved in politics and be corrupted by it? Ignore politics and suffer at the hand of those  contemptible or naive people who still enter it? Try to fight a rearguard action as the engineers in the Titanic did whose effort at the pumps kept the ship afloat for some 2 and a half hours?
Well this last assumes that Law is the solution to man's predicament, which it never was. To demonstrate this  fact so deeply denied by men, all ,men, for i a m convinced that legalism it is which is the way that leads to death , (Proverbs 14:12) this was the very reason God gave the Law in the first place. And of course there is still the price of corruption to be paid. Is it to be said that no greater love had a man, or woman,  for his nation that he gave his life to the political process that he be corrupted by it all while holding back great evil?

As the saying goes, damned if you do, damned if you don't. There is no solution whatsoever not when the solutions - liberal democracy - are falling apart before our very eyes

So what remains?

the classic gospel,

Repent and believe and be led by the Spirit
