Responsibility of the heroic, part 5

part 5

Somebody already said: To say Protestantism is akin to Islam is to be pig ignorant of the heart of Reformation ( and New Testament) doctrine. This states categorically that man is spritiually fallen and totally depraved in all his faculties so that ‘those in the flesh CANNOT please God.’ Thus salvation is entirely of Grace alone, NOT of works lest any man should boast. This Gospel was hated by the corrupt Roman Church and solemnly cursed in the Council of Trent and being irreformable by its own boast, Rome will never recant this anti-Gospel cursing nonsense.The result therefore is that ROME, not classic Protestantism, is the one with more akin to works righteousness Islam; both teach our own native choice and works, our self righteousness is the crucial factor in commending us to God. Both have the seeds that drive the self righteous fanaticism that lurks behind the suicidal bombers. Protestantism completely cuts from under man any shred of such pride or ability and duly chastens and humbles us. Salvation is entirely of grace alone in Christ alone. Rome, with its synergism or mix of works and grace cannot stand this monergism, nor can Islam and so these two parallel each other and it is New Testament Protestantism that is totally distinct from them both. Anyway, I’ve been wondering about the relationship between the Pope and This Equality Bill in terms of the “governance of the firm” and the “governance of the commons”. The Pope is the head of the Catholic “firm” and Harriet Harman is the Leader of the “Commons” here in the UK – it could be an interesting way to look at the situation.. Unbelievers may be diligent but their motivation is quite different and on balance less likely to be so fastidious that the work be done meticulously. If people approach a specifically Christian organisation it is not unreasonable to expect every area of that work will flow from and with Christian commitment. In any case this humanistic atheistic government has no right to interfere in Christ’s church and the right to association. My point simply is, that the PC brigade operate as authoritarian an ethic as traditional Christianity- it’s just that the Authority and source of their ethical system is quite different from the Biblical one. Hence the inceasing clashes of the PC state’s operatives with classic Christian teaching and belief. What is amusing and alarming in equal measure is the utter contradictory and so incoherant mindset these persecutors fall into : simultaneously affirming ‘equal toleration’ of all religions and yet denouncing a major Christian doctrine as ‘unacceptable’! Essentially they are self deceived or liars. Of course fear and hatred of the doctrine of eternal punishment for impenitence, unbelief and self righteous rejection of any need for a Saviour is hardly a new thing as I hinted at in my post. The point is these persecutors of Christians should be called just that and not allowed to get away with their idiot and spurious claims to grand toleration. As a former teacher in the days when Christianity was still largely seen as the unique source of values and morals these developments do not really surprise me. When the State sees itself as the real source of justice- not merely its minister- we are in big trouble. Increasingly this is the case and big troubles are in store for uncompromising Christians… Hadrian, Thank you for your reply, and your patience. I agree with your analysis. Whatever else they are, I don’t believe that the proponents of PC are self-deceived. I think that they are organised and know exactly what they are doing. For many years I heard about responsibility of mankind such as follows: There is a blessing! The Earth was formless and empty, it was a desert. The children died at an early age, it was a high female mortality rates as well as droughts and terrible floods. No, it’s a blessing that they have children – then it was certainly more different than today. They should therefore be fruitful. You multiply, and do a land subjected to you. To fulfill the earth: that the earth need to be overfilled it is not there, of course. All this is really purely our responsibility. Yes, it is the responsibility of our life here on Earth. The weakling is a blessing! if we confine only to the weaknesses and heroism? What is our responsibility after that day, responsibility of the nation? God moves in mysterious ways. May His wonders manifest themselves ever more clearly. God is love. On 10 April 2010, the President of the Republic of Poland and his wife Maria Kaczyńska died when a Polish Air Force Tupolev Tu-154M crashed while attempting to land at Smolensk-North airport in Russia. Wether it would be a responsibility of the heroic, one-time or one it may be more and more wiser, organic at all? Time will tell.
