More establishment churchian gigglers

Here's another great Christian podcast (ahem). OK, another establishment churchian podcast. They are discussing ritual in this broadcast. Yes, they are gigglers as well. You don't find many establishment churchian speakers who aren't gigglers. It makes one suspect the vast majority of establishment churchian speakers are taking psychotropic drugs of one kind or another. A LOT of giggling goes on in establishment churchianity.

A strong statement upcoming: if you want to hear the pure voice of Satan coming out of the mouths of his spiritual children in what is establishment Christianity listen to establishment Christian podcasts like this one. You might say to yourself: but it's just a couple of shallow pastor types talking about their favorite subject, ritual water baptism. No, you're not hearing it. This is Protestant Christianity that has been watered down to such a degree that these two indoctrinated dopes actually spend an hour seriously discussing the micro differences of ritualism. As if it means anything. This is where Satan wants them. This is where Satan wants ALL Christians.

Satan hates regeneration by the word and the Spirit. If Satan can convince people that ritual water baptism regenerates he's got people right where he wants them. Notice they spend inordinate time defending themselves against the charge that they believe in baptismal regeneration. That is because they believe in baptismal regeneration. Here is how it is:

Roman Catholics bring in baptismal regeneration through the front door in the light of day.

Lutherans bring in baptismal regeneration through the back door in the light of day.

Reformed paedo-baptists bring in baptismal regeneration through the back door in the darkness of night.

Regeneration is the main thing. It is the greatest enemy to Satan that he has. It is what brings God's elect into His Kingdom. In the darkness of the Roman Catholic tyranny the Devil called everybody to ritual water baptism all day and all night - but - he kept the word of God away from people upon penality of torture and death. The Devil knows what regenerates and it isn't ritual water baptism. It is the word and the Spirit.

Establishment Christianity (or churchianity) exalts man and ritual above the word and the Spirit. Notice they never proclaim the actual living, quickening, supernatural word of God in any of these podcasts. Not even in their churches on Sundays. They give 'sermons.' They're doing everything Satan wants them to do. Tame slaves of the Devil.

Meanwhile street Christians who actually read the Bible complete, get regenerated by the word and the Spirit, are in direct warfare with Satan. We are on the spiritual battlefield. We are in conflict with our fallen nature (our flesh), the world, and the Devil. The Devil doesn't bothered being directly in conflict with churchians and their leaders and educators because they are already doing everything the Devil wants them to do. It is God's regenerated elect who get noticed on the spiritual battlefield.

A Nabeel Qureshi doctrine

Let's propose a Nabeel Qureshi doctrine. Prayer to God for healing must be private. It can be a group or an individual, but it has to be private. I.e. not published or broadcast by any means. Obviously especially if the person in question is famous or even a minor celebrity of some sort. For these reasons.

(I can imagine all kinds of pushback to such a proposal, even legitimate pushback. I understand the faith can move mountains aspect of this. I still just think it should be private between the person and God. Otherwise it's: "Well, God, what are you going to do? The ball's in your court now. Are you going to heal this person or not?" That's not oversimplifying it.)

Do people with Satan-defiled bloodlines look worse than white people?

Do people with Satan-defiled bloodlines look worse than white people? The answer is no. People with Satan-defiled bloodlines (see posts here and here) don't look worse than white (i.e. still Adamic) people. It's even implied somewhere in the Bible that non-white people will often be better looking, more sexually attractive than white people. This is because non-whites have degrees of mixture of angelic blood. Angelic blood mixed with human blood can create monstrous hybrids, but it can also - in more diluted amounts - create attractive looks, in an earthly, sensual sense.

As for white - Adamic - people (i.e. humans who have blood that escaped mixture with fallen angels, to a basic degree anyway) we are far from the Garden, and a lot of devolution has occurred. A lot of sickness. A lot of wear and tear in the DNA and in environmental conditions (because remember nature fell along with humanity). Whites are looking pretty haggard at this point.

Yes, this all sounds weird, crazy, racist! and everything else that is currently bad in the politically-correct universe of discourse. That doesn't make it untrue.

If you're savvy you'll see how this paradigm, this way of seeing humanity, justifies things like respect for the white race. People of color must have respect for the white race because it is still their race. We all came from Adam and Eve. If you are in a body defiled by Satan you still must bow your knee to the King. To your Creator. And in all that recognition of your situation you would naturally have a jealous motive to protect whites as the remnant of God's people unmixed with fallen rebellious angels. Because it is in the white people groups that the memory of God and the traditions of God's people are kept alive. This is why the Devil wants to destroy the last remaining remnant of God's original people. Satan wants to cultivate resentment (radicalize) non-whites against whites.

If you are non-white it is in your eternal interest to ask your Creator for salvation and to protect His creation from further defilement by Satan and his army of fallen angels and radicalized fallen man. (See this post on the three mountains of the Bible.)

ADDENDUM: I hesitated to write this in the body of the above post, but I think I should because it is a loose thread. Question: why do non-whites resemble animals? Monkeys (Asians used to be called yellow monkeys in a different era) and apes (great apes like gorillas and lesser apes like chimpanzees)? Blacks obviously resemble apes, and they know it. Let's not be politically-correct. Why is this? It's because when angels mix with humans it effects the structure of the soul of the human. This is not anything that regeneration by the Holy Spirit and the Living Word can't correct (when a person becomes born again), yet it does effect the physical nature of that person. This happens because the human soul has to be degraded, i.e. go down a rung, as a result of such unnatural mixture (despite the mixture even being with an angel). The unnatural act causes degradation of God's original creation. That means the human soul becomes more in the realm of the kind of soul animals have. And whatever animal looks most like a human being is what the degraded, hybrid human being is going to most resemble. I.e. monkeys and apes.

ADDENDUM II: When individuals who belong to God and are on that path from early youth come into contact with the beauty of non-white, i.e. mixed blood, humanity it can be a comedy layered on a tragedy. Drawn towards the beauty, the sexuality, yet it's a forbidden fruit. The youth obviously won't know what is going on. Different camps. This might be a rare drama, yet it also might not be.

How to read the Bible once you've already *truly* read the Bible

I've read the Bible cover-to-cover seven times. It averaged out to be over a 21 year period, so about once every three years I did a dedicated, complete reading. Though some of those readings were very fast, like once I read the Bible complete in 66 days. I was shooting for two months. Other times it took me a meandering 18 months or so. Seven times complete though, which was my overall goal.

Of course in-between the complete readings I read individual books and did all the other types of Bible reading one does. That's why I call the complete readings *dedicated* readings. Intentional cover-to-cover, with a goal.

I know some people read the Bible complete every year, or twice a year (or say they do), but if I did that it would be the only book I ever read. I also believe reading the Bible is like planting and growing crops. The metaphor, or analogy is big. One part of the analogy is I believe it is necessary to leave a field fallow for a season, or a year or so before planting it again. This is because our level of being (think understanding in general) has to develop alongside the complete Bible readings, otherwise we begin to keep pouring water into a glass that can only hold so much water and we get diminishing returns in terms of our understanding. The glass has to grow. It has to increase in size, so as to be able to hold more understanding. That is our level of being. So getting away from the complete readings and reading other things, and living life, is necessary. Then we can go back to the word of God and be able to get more understanding from it. The field that was depleted of its nutrients in its soil has, through some seasons of fallowness, regained what it had lost and is now ready to produce more growth.

With that being said, one thing that I experience having read the Bible as much as I have is the feeling of going over old ground. When each book and each part of each book becomes familiar to you it presents a problem.

One solution to that problem is just to read it. Take it in. Like you did at first. Allow it to work on you and in you. See it as living language that has effect in you without you necessarily being able to see or experience that effect in real time. The faith of the farmer that the seeds will grow in time and result in a harvest.

I think some people take another approach. They *drill down* into the language. They get atomistic with the text. They major on the different parts while minoring on the whole. Academic types do this. I think it's a shallow approach. A sterile approach. I also think it veils a skeptical orientation to the word of God overall.

Something I've been thinking about recently along all these lines is the necessity to go in the other direction. Instead of drilling down into the parts of the Bible, strive to see everything in the word of God from a high altitude. Meaning: striving to see the obvious that is so easy to miss. Or to forget.

For instance it's easy to forget and to not see that there are two Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Satan and the Kingdom of God; and between them there is no neutral ground. You're either in the one or you're in the other. And when reading the Bible you're either encountering the one or you're encountering the other. They both reside within the larger circle of God's sovereignty, yet in the theatre of redemption where we are all going through our lives it is one or the other. There is of course overlap between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan, but that is in terms of conflict. Spiritual war. This is something you have to get up above the text of the Bible somewhere; get some altitude to be able to look down at a larger swath of the landscape to see. Drilling down into the parts of the Bible doesn't lend itself to such vision.

So my thought in writing this post was: if you have read the Bible many times and kind of feel like it is going over old ground now, there is still a way to read it to see obvious things we can miss and forget. Most people choose to drill down, yet there is also the direction of going up in elevation and getting the larger view which reveals the obvious things. Seeing whole parts of the forest rather than having our nose to the bark of single trees.

Of course seeing the parts in relation to the whole is a definition of understanding in itself. Systematic theology is supreme, when we have the Bible in us, in giving us that. Reformed Theology being the gold standard. We strive for that, Genesis through Revelation. I'm referring to seeing from a higher level what is going on in larger parts of the word of God itself, as we read it complete once again.

A Grimm's Tale - The Flail from Heaven (Manheim trans.)

The Flail from Heaven

ONCE A PEASANT went out to plow with a yoke of oxen. When he got to his field, the horns of the oxen began to grow. They grew and they grew, and by the time he started for home, they were so big that he couldn’t drive through his barn door. Luckily a butcher came along just then and he was willing to buy the oxen. It was agreed that the peasant should bring the butcher a measure of turnip seeds, and that the butcher should pay him a Brabant taler for each seed. I call that a good price! The peasant went home and loaded a measure of turnip seeds into a sack, but on his way back one little seed fell out. The butcher counted out the money as agreed, but if the peasant hadn’t lost that one little seed he’d have had one more Brabant taler.

When the peasant started for home again, the seed had grown up into a tree that reached all the way to heaven. The peasant thought to himself: “Now that I’ve got the chance, I think I’ll go up and see what the angels are doing.” So he climbed up and when he got to heaven he saw that the angels were threshing oats. He stopped to watch them, and as he was watching, he noticed that the tree he was standing on was beginning to wobble, and when he looked down he saw that someone was chopping it down. “Wouldn’t it be an awful thing,” he thought, “if I were to fall from way up here!” He could think of no better way out of his difficulty than to plait a rope from the oat straw that was scattered all about. When he had finished, he picked up a mattock and a flail that someone had left lying on the floor of heaven, and let himself down by his rope. But it so happened that he landed in a deep, deep hole, and it was really lucky that he had the mattock, for he used it to cut out steps. So he climbed out of the hole, and took the flail with him to prove that his story was true, so that no one would ever doubt it.

=====

Meaning: the peasant comes into power of the Holy Spirit. Probably his plowing effort itself is part of the power he acquires. Horns of the oxen grow. Horns are symbolic of power. He sells the oxen for an unbelievably  favorable price. Everything is in his favor now. He is above the common laws at work. He even has ability to get up to heaven. And so he climbs. Once there the tree being cut beneath him is symbolic of his connection with the Kingdom of this World being severed. The rope he makes from the oat straw the angels were threshing symbolizes that his connection and safety now is with heaven, the Kingdom of God. Going down into the hole and using the heavenly tool to climb out just symbolizes his power over hell and death he now has. The flail of the angels symbolizes he has been sifted and found just. This is Romans 8:28 in a bright painting. Total victory.

Rating the Christian Podcasts, the feckless spectacle of emptiness

White Horse Inn - So dumbed down it's almost intentionally mocking Christians. If you want to hear a guy who sounds like a Kindergarten teacher (Michael Horton) string endless strawmen together in the service of defending "punch and cookies" 'sacraments' and 'church buildings' and 'ministers' that are Christ for the 'sheep' this is your podcast. Bonus: guests that sound just like Horton saying similar things.

Reformed Forum - I've written a post on this one already. Newly minted PhDs basically talking about sub-orthodox theologians (Barth) and Roman Catholic theologians. On a recent episode one of their regulars - a PhD and pastor - admitted to the astonished embarrassment of the others that he'd never read the Bible complete. The audience was not surprised.

I'm going to stop there because it's too depressing. These Churchian types don't know how to teach. They don't know what to teach either, but it doesn't matter because they don't know how to teach. They're caught up in the sound of their own voice and in impressing their imagined audience of shallow academic peers. It's all a feckless spectacle of emptiness.

Christianity is warfare

Somebody asked me, or speculated, that non-whites seem to not be God's people, in so many words. I gave the usual Christian response that it's not by birth but by regeneration by the word and the Spirit that God's elect are 'fished' out of this sea of alienation, evil, and death, in so many words.

But I think I see what was behind the question that I missed. We're seeing in the world today evil manifest like we've not seen it before. This is due to media/technology actually letting us see it (phone cameras, internet distribution), but also it's due to people leaving their God-appointed borders and mixing, or imposing their presence, on others. Especially on Christians in Christian nations.

When you see this you come to a point where you begin to just say: these people are just evil. They are children of Satan. They hate God and God's people. They hate Christian nations and Christian culture and civilization. They are all non-white. Therefore...

Call a spade a spade in other words. If they act like your enemy, they're your enemy. If they act like children of Satan, they're children of Satan. I think that's what the person was getting at.

This is the Cosmic War. This is what we were all born into. When we wake up and wonder, what is all this about? why is all this happening? why do things have to suck like this? why can't life be more wonderful, fulfilling, with many options, smiles, joy, good struggle, without the clock of death making us feel old after our 21st birthday? It's because this planet is ruled by Satan currently. He is the father of murder and lies and wants bad things to happen to humanity. Until the Second Coming of Jesus it will be like this. Fun. Good news: we got born. We exist. Bad news: we're fallen beings in a fallen world, with fallen angels and fallen men ruling over us and making life on this planet dark and violent and depressing. Unless you're in a little pocket of the world, in a little pocket of your mind, asleep to reality, saying, "Look at the birds! Is it not wonderful?" Yeah. Wonderful. Oh, look, an African Muslim is now humping your wife while he's cutting her throat. Damn. Looks like your little pocket got invaded.

The Cosmic War.

Christianity is warfare.

The problem with public prayers for healing

Awhile back I wrote an open letter to Nabeel Qureshi that was probably the only negative (or constructive) feedback he's gotten since he went very public regarding his health. I tweeted the post to him, and he read it. Later I took it down.

This is what needs to be said...

When we ask God to heal us - in my humble opinion - it needs to be done privately. Think about this. When you do it publicly (especially as a public individual with a large audience) it is a kind of tempting of God. It puts God on the spot. And what if God does heal you? Then everybody else who is in a bad situation with injury or ill health will want the same thing. And so what if they don't get it? Is their faith less than the person who did get healed? See the problem with taking such a prayer/request public? See how it is a kind of tempting of God?

The main part of my criticism of Qureshi (who seems to be in his last days as I write this) was the sense he was giving that he is somehow special. A special case, as it were. I.e., God, heal me, or else these bad things will occur. The bad things being if Qureshi, a Muslim convert to Christianity, is seen to be struck down by disease then Muslims will see it as being a result of his leaving Islam, etc., etc.

There's suffering before glory. Young Christians have been struck down by disease while holding a Bible in their hands. He's not the first, he won't be the last.

I believe in miracles. I believe God heals miraculously (not as if suffering is something that should never happen to a believer, because suffering can sanctify) as answer to prayer. I believe I've been healed miraculously of various physical problems, and if I have every Christian has to some degree or another; yet I believe it has to be a private matter between the believer and God, otherwise it tempts God and creates other problems that are just of a practical nature, i.e. not everybody is going to have their prayer for healing answered...at least not in a dramatic, personally satisfying way that our limited minds think of as what an answer would be.

I do believe Nabeel Qureshi's prayers for his family will be answered, and he can be at peace regarding all that...
