Christians, pay attention

How is a Christian - that is a king - brought 'under authority' other than under the King of kings?

He isn't.

Oh, but the churchians then have to admit that what they are talking about is putting clerics as mediator between God and man. But does a Christian put up with this? Man mediators? ...

What does the Bible say about that...?

Basically, the devil and his followers and ministers want Christians to think they are children in need of man, not God, to have authority over them. This is Beast religion at its most basic.

You're a Christian? Then you are a prophet, a priest, and a king. Act it.

Fuck them

Exchange found on a Christian forum; they are discussing house churches:

"we have many who purposely divide themselves, meet in homes, apart from any real authority."

"That is why I think the cell model is better - you have the strengths of the house churches are less susceptible to their weakensses since there is understanding of being under authority."

What in fuck are they talking about? Excuse my so-called filthy language (the language I just quoted is filthy, pilgrims, if you want to know what filthy language is), but, what in fuck are they talking about?

I'll tell you: they demand an environment - their father the devil demands an environment - where man-fearing and man-mediators are present. Notice they talk of authority with no mention of Jesus Christ. These filthy, unregenerate, ignorant, deathly losers deserve no charity in language or anything else. They demand God's people come into their environments and experience the death the devil demands all live in bondage to.

Fuck them. Tell it to their face. Watch them run. The devil and his followers always run when you confront them.

Notice my moderated tone...

This was written on a forum where Christians who tend towards clericalism and sacerdotalism commune; the subject is 'house churches' and are they 'moral' (etc., etc.):

Each one of these points mentioned here will be found in any of the house churches you may visit in the Southern Oregon area - without exception. They may be held to varying degrees and by various persons within the fellowship (the leadership of these groups, however, seem to have a uniform disdain for "educated clergy"), but the tenets of being anti-establishment, anti-accountability, anti-seminary, against standards for ordination (or ordination at all), and anti-sacraments in any historical sense has become a kind of informal statement of faith among them.

We have found it to be very detrimental in building up a healthy church(es) in this environment.

I find this interesting because these are traits of regenerated believers, and it's interesting to see evidence of fellow believers here and there in the world about one.

So, what is this litany of 'unmoralistic' behaviour?

1. "...I think the problems of the House Church 'movement' is that these congregations are many times formed out of anger and disillusionment with the 'established' churches..." Yes, this is horrible. To have such an open and shameless disdain for man-fearing and man-centeredness. Who do these so-called Christians think they are? Such lay persons should be put to discipline.

2. "...hence the frequent disdain for specialized education for clergy and the self ordination thing." Yes, and using the Bible to defend such views. This is why lay persons should not be allowed to have Bibles let alone read them. This is the way it was for much if not most of Christian history, and everything's gone downhill since lay people got it into their simple minds that they are able to understand what the Bible says.

3. "There seems to be an overall rebelliousness against any sort of authority." Yes, and they seem to have some novel notion that Jesus is their King, as if Jesus has anything to do with lay persons other than through God's ordained-by-accredited-seminaries mediators.

4. "They also have some pretty messed up ideas about the sacraments." I've even heard tell some of these lay persons think baptism is of the Holy Spirit, and that the Lord's Supper is symbolic of something to do with becoming like Christ and connecting with Christ. It's based on this misunderstanding of the concept of 'regeneration' and being so-called born again that these people believe in. Again, if they were under the care of ordained, formally educated mediators who could enlighten them and illuminate the Word of God for them they wouldn't labor under such childish notions.

Die to the law

A Christian dies to the law. What is the law? The perfect law of God? No, a deeply perverted version of God's law. Theologians who know enough to say one can't be saved by doing works or following the law of God still don't know what the law of God is that the apostle Paul refers to when he says you must die to the law. This law is a 'medium' in which all humanity exists and moves in. This law expresses itself in things like man revering and man fearing and idol worship. It turns everything upside-down. The same theologian who knows enough to know he can't be saved by doing the works of the law is yet dead asleep to the reality of his living in that very law, God's perfect law perverted from white to black by fallen man, and demanding that everyone else live in that law. That theologian has yet to 'die to the law.'

A fish doesn't know he is in water, and a person who has yet to awaken to and die to the law doesn't know he is living in, as a very medium, the Beast system which is what God's law is to fallen man. In the churches that have even the most on-the-mark doctrine you see the Beast system manifested in such things as clericalism, ritualism, moralism, and formalism. In man fearing and man revering. In vain titles. In demands that people conform to the demands of man and tradition and show fear to men with threats of consequences for any who get 'out of line.' Out of line with the Beast system. The fear of God is turned into the fear of man. Idols are put in place of God and worshiped and people are policed to worship the idols or suffer the consequences. Black is white, up is down, good is evil, evil is good. All with a self-satisfied, self-justified self-righteousness.

How do you die to the law? You wake up and you fear only God. Then you suffer the consequences. Like a follower of Christ. It's not pleasant to go against the Beast system. This is why so few individuals do it. It's not pleasant to awaken, because you awaken to the fact that you are in a kingdom of death. A rather unpleasant house of violence and insanity. The Beast gives you 'just enough' to make you feel just 'good enough' worshiping him and staying in line. He gives you sexual pleasure. He gives you food and makes you fat. He gives you money and the feeling of being powerful. He gives you a wide array of shallow diversions to keep you busy until your appetites cycle around again and you do it all again. So you remain alive to the law. Alive to the Beast system. You fear and revere man, and you flinch with fear if you are just even slightly accused of not properly fearing and revering man. You're a rabbit, always fearful of angering the Beast as it manifests all around you through his followers and institutions.

How do you combat this? You fear only God. You stand as if in the presence of God, and you fear only God. Practically speaking you start to remember yourself, and you separate from your old nature within, the Old Man within you, which has concrete features you can identify and observe in real time. You separate from the world in real time by learning the 'feel' of fearing only God whenever the world would shame you or threaten you to fear man. And you learn to lose your fear of the devil and to see him as a defeated enemy with no power over you; but you have to stand your ground against him. You have to show some courage.

You have to be a king. A prophet, a priest, and a king. These are practical things which I've discussed in early posts on this site. They are available in other - better - sources for any to learn who is guided by the Holy Spirit to learn the practical level of the faith. Seek them. Find them. Practice them. God wants His own to be mature warriours. Start by recognizing and not being afraid of dying to the law, or the system of the Beast, which is what fallen man perverts God's perfect law into being.

Plain path puritan

The faith that is pure (based on the pure and whole Word of God, not the word of man), bold (that fears only God and not man), and practical (that is not the endless and vain talk of philosophy and theory but is the experiential level of regenerated doing guided by the teaching of the Holy Spirit).

Seeing the difference between acting from rebellious, resentful self-will and acting from descent-of-the-dove God's will in gratitude, with increasing inner command, a king, recognizing the authority of the King above. Recognizing and accepting and joying in chain-of-command. Faith. 'k'ing and King, no mediator in between. This is bold and angers the world and the devil. It also is the death of one's vanity, worldly pride, and self-will. Recognize that which is higher than you. That which created you is higher than you. Man wants to slip in their. Fear only God. Stand up to the devil and his ministers and followers. They flee like rabbits when followers of Christ stand up to them.

To be in God's presence, and to fear only God makes one a dangerous figure on the landscape of the world. Expect war and fight like a king.

Separator

Separator post. I'm no longer going to be tempted to react to the academics and the Westcott and Hortians and the sacerdotalists and all the rest that make up the dead zone of churchianity. I have the Word of God (the glorious traditional - received - text in the inspired Authorized Version 1611), I have the Holy Spirit, and I have the difficult though infinitely valuable friction from the world, the flesh, and the devil that Christians regenerated by the Word and the Spirit receive as part of our new nature. The devil confronts God's own who are actively on the Way. He leaves the Village of Morality and its inhabitants alone. They aren't a threat to his kingdom of death or themselves to any degree... That's my last shot to all that.

"I'd like to announce (big breath) I am a recovering Republican! Oh, I feel so freeeeee! Pass the ice cream!

What it means when a self-identified churchian Calvinist refers to himself as a "recovering Republican" is:

"I'm just as shallow in my understanding of politics as I am regarding the Christian faith."

And those types always - always - default to left-wing views eventually because that is the current of the world (the Kingdom of Satan) and these types love their comfort. The Village of Morality requires it's good citizens to contribute to each other's comfort, among all the other neat things it's all about.

With political parties think in degree rather than absolutes. And think practically.

The Democrat party in America is not even pretending anymore that it is not the mocking, willing, evil water-carrying vehicle for the wishes of their great holy father Satan.

The Republican party is merely Satanic to the extent it gets infiltrated by RINOS (Republicans in name only) and shallow fools who made it big with office supply stores and auto dealerships who don't have the level of being to withstand being tempted by the devil once they get to the nation's capitol. But at least they don't hate America and can still discern good from evil to some extent and know that military strength is important and that tax cuts tend to bring more money into the treasury; and they'll put a judge on the Supreme Court every now and then who actually values the Constitution. Among other virtues. They kow-tow to the forces of Anti-Christ too much, yes, and they don't know how to deal with media, and...they're really shallow (did I say that twice?)... Yes, shallow. That's not *as* bad as being dumb to the degree of evil (think Teddy Kennedy or Keith Olbermann or really any high profile liberal Democrat these days) or celebrating mental disorders as the summit of human development (think Al Gore or Keith Olbermann).

So where are you going, "recovering Republican"? Practically speaking. Really you're just saying you're an evil/dumb/whatever liberal at heart, and you're coming out of the closet with it. Because it's the more "comfortable" stance. Why take on the devil's kingdom? Better to eat ice cream, read devil-mutilated 'bibles', engage in dead ritual at 'church', and fear and revere man to your dying day.

Michael Horton, churchianity's high priest and elitist scold

Your Own Personal Jesus
Michael S. Horton

Citing examples from TV, pop music, and best-selling books, an article in Entertainment Weekly noted that "pop culture is going gaga for spirituality." However,

[S]eekers of the day are apt to peel away the tough theological stuff and pluck out the most dulcet elements of faith, coming up with a soothing sampler of Judeo-Christian imagery, Eastern mediation, self-help lingo, a vaguely conservative craving for 'virtue,' and a loopy New Age pursuit of 'peace.' This happy free-for-all, appealing to Baptists and stargazers alike, comes off more like Forest Gump's ubiquitous 'boxa chocolates' than like any real system of belief. You never know what you're going to get. (1)

The "search for the sacred" has become a recurring cover story for national news magazines for some time now; but is a revival of "spirituality" and interest in the "sacred" really any more encouraging than the extravagant idolatry that Paul witnessed in Athens (Acts 17)?

Horton is doing OK so far. He's shooting some fish in a little barrel, but some priests of churchianity even have trouble doing that.

Not only historians and sociologists but novelists are writing about the "Gnostic" character of the soup that we call spirituality in the United States today. In a recent article in Harper's, Curtis White describes our situation pretty well. When we assert, "This is my belief," says White, we are invoking our right to have our own private conviction, no matter how ridiculous, not only tolerated politically but respected by others. "It says, 'I've invested a lot of emotional energy in this belief, and in a way I've staked the credibility of my life on it. So if you ridicule it, you can expect a fight." In this kind of culture, "Yahweh and Baal-my God and yours-stroll arm-in-arm, as if to do so were the model of virtue itself."

OK, he's launched in this paragraph. First note the use of the term 'gnostic.' When a churchian uses that term it basically means: "self-proclaimed born again (whatever that means) Christians"... This is their real target. Christians who have been regenerated by the Word and the Spirit (the Word and Spirit being the great enemies of clerics and ritual). It is this real target Horton is talking about when he talks of the new agers and the shallow Christians and the people who demand Jehovah -- excuse me, Yahweh, or...Yahu, or whatever, Horton is an Alexandrian regarding Scripture and thinks the God of the Bible is called by the babblish name of a local idol, but I digress -- again the people who demand that God conform to their demands and not assault their sense of right and good and so on. The people who choose to see Jesus as teacher and great yoga master rather than Saviour and Lord and King. Especially Saviour. Anyway, using these easy to make fun of and critique straw men Horton is actually going after Christians who are born again.

What we require of belief is not that it make sense but that it be sincere....Clearly, this is not the spirituality of a centralized orthodoxy. It is a sort of workshop spiritu-ality that you can get with a cereal-box top and five dollars....There is an obvious problem with this form of spirituality: it takes place in isolation. Each of us sits at our computer terminal tapping out our convictions....Consequently, it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that our truest belief is the credo of heresy itself. It is heresy without an orthodoxy. It is heresy as an orthodoxy. (2)

What's the heresy here really according to Horton? "...it takes place in isolation." Ahh. Those scary born again Christians not afraid of being alone with themselves. How weird! They should be arrested. Individuals. Or so they self-proclaim. As if God has anything to do with individuals.

While European nihilism denied only God, "American nihilism is something different. Our nihilism is our capacity to believe in everything and anything all at once. It's all good!" All that's left is for belief to become "a culture-commodity."

This is a sentence he inserts into every one of his essays and books. I swear. Google it.

We shop among competing options for our belief. Once reduced to the status of a commodity, our anything-goes, do-it-yourself spirituality cannot have very much to say about the more directly nihilistic conviction that we should all be free to do whatever we like as well, each of us pursuing our right to our isolated happiness. (3)

Notice as a cultural observer and critic Horton is really high-school level? Dumb atheists in France do much better. If one is interested in such time-wastage. Horton's real target is, again, churchianity's big inner bogeyman: the born again Christian.

Like Nietzsche himself, who said that truth is made rather than discovered and was described by Karl Barth as "the man of azure isolation," Americans just want to be left alone to create their own private Idaho. While evangelicals talk a lot about truth, their witness, worship, and spirituality seem in many ways more like their Mormon, New Age, and liberal nemeses than anything like historical Christianity.

Actually they sound like you. Shallow scolds who are ultimately angry that no one is buying your shallow ritual and 'sermonizing.'

We would prefer to be left alone, warmed by our beliefs-that-make-no-sense, whether they are the quotidian platitudes of ordinary Americans, the magical thinking of evangelicals, the mystical thinking of New Age Gnostics, the teary-eyed patriotism of social conservatives, or the perfervid loyalty of the rich to their free-market Mammon. We are thus the congregation of the Church of the Infinitely Fractured, splendidly alone together. And apparently that's how we like it. Our pluralism of belief says both to ourselves and to others, 'Keep your distance.' And yet isn't this all strangely familiar? Aren't these all the false gods that Isaiah and Jeremiah confronted, the cults of the 'hot air gods'? The gods that couldn't scare birds from a cucumber patch? Belief of every kind and cult, self-indulgence and self-aggrandizement of every degree, all flourish. And yet God is abandoned. (4)

Wow, he's really fair in his descriptions, isn't he? And isn't it cute how he is impressed with himself for knowing phrases like 'magical thinking'? And then he states ALL evangelicals engage in magical thinking. ALL. That guy's got a Ph.D. Anyway, also note the Obama-level elitism in the beginning of the above paragraph as well.

As far back as the early eighteenth century, the French commentator Alexis de Tocqueville observed the distinctly American craving "to escape from imposed systems" and "to seek by themselves and in themselves for the only reason for things, looking to results without getting entangled in the means toward them." He concluded, "So each man is narrowly shut up in himself and from that basis makes the pretension to judge the world." Americans do not need books or any other external authorities in order to find the truth, "having found it in themselves." (5) American Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) announced that "whatever hold the public worship held on us is gone or going," prophesying the day when Americans would recognize that they are "part and parcel of God," requiring no mediator or ecclesiastical means of grace. Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" captured the unabashed narcissism of American romanticism that plagues our culture from talk shows to the church.

Shallow doesn't describe this paragraph. This is like monster truck shallow. This is the writing of a guy who has thrown off all the constraints of academic standard and shame. Someone who has declared a private declaration of independence against the world. "I don't need to conform to anybody's idea of 'making sense'! What I write makes sense if I determine it does! I don't have to take any more tests! I've got all my degrees, see! Nobody can tell ME I'm not writing the 'right' way anymore!"

During this same period, the message and methods of American churches also felt the impact of this romantic narcissism.

Yes because in good philosopher fashion people in the past were total slaves to modern philosophical historical labels like "romantic narcissism." See yon 18th century woman washing clothes and making dinner for her family there in Pennsylvania? Now, look closely. See that "romantic narcissism" driving her every thought and move? Yes, there, now you see what Horton is getting at.

It can be recognized in a host of sermons and hymns from the period, such as C. Austin Miles' hymn, "In the Garden":

I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses.
And he walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.

That actually was America's national anthem for about twelve years in the mid 19th century. Horton has a point here.

The focus of such piety is on a personal relationship with Jesus that is individualistic, inward, and immediate.

Quick, hide the third book of Calvin's Institutes. That Chitty Chitty Bang Bang child snatcher-like guy is sniffing around, and he's going to confiscate the third book of our Institutes...

One comes alone and experiences a joy that "none other has ever known." How can any external orthodoxy tell me I'm wrong? My personal relationship with Jesus is mine. I do not share it with the church. Creeds, confessions, pastors, and teachers-not even the Bible-can shake my confidence in the unique experiences that I have alone with Jesus.

Note that he doesn't allow the possibility that one can be biblical doctrinally *and* have the Holy Spirit - the Spirit of Christ - in them, no man-mediators in sight.

For the rest of Horton's wisdom go here. (He just goes on about 'gnostics' and how they are everything he doesn't like, like born again Christians. He also uses Luther to state that anybody who 'thinks' they have the Spirit in them are engaging in vain self-glorifying behaviour that puts them in bondage to the devil instead of being in bondage to Michael Horton and his ordained colleagues in his little ritual-loving, flesh-celebrating ("Flesh is cool!") denomination where I begin to suspect they actually smear their excrement on each other to show 'yahweh' or 'yahu' or whatever they are calling their god currently that they will have nothing to do with anything they can't see or feel or eat or...

And, by the way: an ordained minister has to make a living afterall...)

'Preaching' is not a means of grace

'Preaching' is not a means of grace. Sorry. Unless someone is reading the pure and whole Word of God (traditional, received text) word for word preaching is not a means of grace. "But other ice cream eaters laid their hands on me!" Sorry. And all you people who are attending Reformed churches thinking you are in an environment similar to the Puritans of old you are being taken in by fools and stealth-Jesuits and vain dorks with seminary degrees.

There are three principal means of grace:

1. The Word of God (not the word of man)
2. Prayer, which is a state of being more awake and present and is an accumulating of the Holy Spirit
3. Fearing only God, which is a fasting from the world and from the devil and from one's Old Man and his demands

The last two correspond both to the two so-called 'sacraments' and to the two great commandments. To see it you have to see it spiritually. As Jesus tells you in His Word. Not the word of man.

The Bible and end times

Regarding end times scenarios and speculations and so on: once you get the 'whole' of the Bible in you, in understanding (by actually reading it complete, over and over, something the church and seminary leaders will mock and attempt to dissuade you from doing) you then are able to see - to discern - the parts in relation to the whole. This makes one amillennialist. The simplicity and elegance of amillennialism can only be 'seen' first by discernment that only comes from the Holy Spirit and second by having the 'whole' of Scripture in mind and understanding. People who play endlessly with the 'parts' of Scripture that bear upon (or they think bear upon) end times and come up with their endless 'pre-millenial' this and 'preterist' that nonsense are people who have yet to get serious with the Word of God and engage it as a whole, in complete readings. Understanding comes from seeing the parts in relation to the whole. The Bible is simple and elegant when seen with understanding, and for end times understanding the Bible presents what historically has come to be called amillennialism. And yes it's a dumb word, but it only had to come into use to differentiate the truth from the false teachers of the 19th century (those 19th century theologians at it again, the same types who convinced dumb and innocent and wicked people that the Alexandrian manuscripts are the Word of God).

No game playing with the wicked souls who push the devil's 'bibles' and the authority of man

No, I'm not going to play games with these devils. They want you in hell with them. Imagine that. Imagine being in hell with these Beast-sucking/Beast-worshiping creeps. And imagine how you will say to yourself: "I didn't have the independence of mind, I didn't value the Word of God enough to not see these wicked souls for what they are, and now I am in hell with them, and they and their father the devil are now laughing at me." That is where you will be. Issues of election play no role in this scenario. Regeneration is effected, when it is effected, by the Word and the Spirit. The two things these wicked souls do everything in their power to defile and to keep from you. Don't play along with them by fearing man more than God. Don't allow them to 'shame' you with their village of morality pressure and policing to adopt the devil's perverted manuscripts and the filthy versions based on them and the authority and word of man they demand you follow rather than God. Don't swallow what they want you to eat. Learn to be strong in your faith and to know the Voice of the Shepherd, and to stand your ground against the devil and his followers. Be awake and fear God only.

He's a 'church leader' (the devil is a church leader)

This is not simple ignorance; this is a wicked, dark soul.

King Jesus Christ sends the Holy Spirit to prophets, priests, and kings called Christians. Individuals. The Beast despises this. The Beast and his followers like this dumb, wicked pastor want nobody to know the truth of regeneration, how it is effected (by the Word and the Spirit) and what it means. They want you fearing and revering man and anything other than God. Language can't be too harsh when directed towards these wicked souls. They know what they are saying and doing. They've been disabused by born again Christians enough times in their up-to-now worthless lives to not have an excuse.

(I get angry because this is the par for the course state of Christianity in general. The devil is in control of his putrid kingdom, *but* he needs help from *his followers* -- whether they be dupes or consciously wicked souls. And most of these wicked souls are the ones who are first in line to lead churches and teach in seminaries and similar positions.)

The lewd tongues are with us today

"All those nick-names of Puritan, Precisian, Hypocrite, &c. with which lewd tongues are wont to load the saints of God, are so many honourable badges of their worthy deportment in the holy path, and resolute standing on the Lord's side."
Robert Bolton (1572-1631)

Include "King James Onlyist" among the nick-names coming off the lewd tongues towards the saints of God.

From a prophet (one who has the Word of God (and bold access to the throne of God)

The Christian faith - i.e. reality, God's plan for his creation - is mystical at its heart. I laugh when I read modern day self-identified Calvinists then read Calvin's third book of his Institutes. Calvin is a bare foot mystic compared to these shallow, cardboard blockheads. And anywhere Calvin erred in hewing too closely to Romanist ritual or notions of 'church' is excused by his place in time and his life, having been Romanist from birth. Modern day self-identified Calvinists have no such excuse. One thing about Calvin though: whenever he was confronting a Romanist cleric directly the Spirit came out of him in pure doctrinally on-the-mark fashion regarding ritual sacraments and issues of church whatever. This is another aspect of Calvin the modern day self-identified Calvinists refuse to acknowledge.

Why is the faith mystical? (I use that word knowing it is a big bullseye for the mockers with seminary degrees, or their followers). Because the faith is not about being good, it is about making contact. It is about having the Holy Spirit in you, and increasing one's capacity for having the Holy Spirit in you without exploding and grieving the Spirit. The faith is about being born on high, falling, and then being drawn back upwards higher than where you were created. This process is mystical because it involves will that is not self-will. It involves God's will in you. The faith is mystical because the Holy Spirit guides and illuminates you. There is degree in this for each believer. The faith is mystical because it is between you - an individual - and God. It is mystical because it is practical and something you actually practice. It is mystical because it is about separation from the world (another thing the modern day self-identified Calvinists mock and 'correct' having to throw out the Institutes once again while they're at it).

Against all this is the world and the devil and his toady followers. They despise regeneration (being born again). They mock it. They despise the voice of the Shepherd (the very Word of God). Because it quickens souls. (They show their disgust with the Word of God by adopting perverted and defiled versions of it based on mutilated manuscripts created by heretics and scholars so marinated in Satanism it is the height of open, flaunting shamelessness for them to pretend otherwise.) They enforce man-fearing and the acceptance of man-mediators between individuals and God; and they exalt the word of man over the Word of God. They exalt ritual and man over the Word and the Spirit. They practice the unbiblical nonsense of being respecters of persons. They create clerical hierarchies. They create and exist in smug villages of morality while pretending to be on the Way. While they mock Christians who are strangers in this world and are actually on the Way.

Prediction

If you've ever wondered how false teachers as juvenile and shallow as Federal Visionists could entangle and bother paedo-baptist Reformed denominations so easily read this thread.

I predict a mass conversion of paedo-baptist Reformed Christians at the [so-called] PuritanBoard to Roman Catholicism within the next five years.

When you don't have the Spirit you cling to ritual performed by man. When you don't have the Word you cling to the word of man. When you react to this state you find yourself in with anger and arrogance towards Christians who attempt to show you the Way you become what corresponds to the dark spirit within you: a Roman Catholic. Usually a cleric or faux-cleric (i.e. apologist) of the Roman Catholic Beast church.

Another 'Puritan'Board thread reveals the witch in churchianity

They keep doing it. Here is another thread where the man-fearing (and really eminent pussies) of the so-called PuritanBoard are revealing themselves.

A new guy (reminds me of myself when I attempted to post things over there way back when other than "What is YOUR favorite kind of tea?") introduces a topic a bit over the head of the active old-timers and the toadies and all he gets is threats and feet-stamping and calls to 'adhere' to forum 'authority'... Churchians are pussies to their core.

Real Puritans (like, say, Drake) would beat these fools to death if they'd even attempted to talk in the manner they talk over their to him. Where are the men in the 'churches' today? They don't exist. Just witches. Serving the Great Witch which is the Beast.

The inanity of churchians: the case of the most Reverend Bruce G. Buchanan

Look at this thread. Specifically the posts by Rev. Bruce G. Buchanan.

Reverend? Is he to be revered? Why? He's been through a seminary? What inanity is not potential in churchianity?

So not only do God's elect have to suffer shallowness in so-called churches, but also man-fearing and the enforcement of man-fearing. What are God's elect to do? Other than engage the Word of God, evangelize, and actually practice the faith as the Holy Spirit guides us to practice the faith...

How do so many shallow human beings with so little understanding and self-awareness decide they must be 'church leaders' of one title or another?

Rev. Bruce G. Buchanan demands reverence (fear) of himself and his 'ordained' colleagues and demands to be seen and accepted as authority among followers of Christ. Where he picked up these notions ...God knows. I suppose one can pick them up just about anywhere in the world though...
