Love for Humanity?

“He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars;
General Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, & flatterer.”

William Blake

The love of humanity in the abstract is the root of all kinds of evil. It was the love of humanity in the abstract on the part of the committee of Public Safety that brought down the Bastille and set up la madame guillotine in Paris. It was the love of humanity as an abstraction on the part of the Black Republicans and the abolitionists in America that from 1861-1877 killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and blacks in order to “rescue” and “free” blacks. It was the love of humanity as an abstraction on the part of Bolsheviks that brought us the Holodomor and the gulag archipelago. The love of humanity in the abstract has given us scores of millions of dead humans and has brought despotism and tyranny of untold magnitude.

Humanity cannot be loved in the abstract. Love for people begins with love for the little platoons God has decreed that we live among — our families, our extended families, our churches, our workplaces, our communities. There is no love for mankind that does not begin with love for the little platoons and love for the little platoons keeps us from abstracting both humanity and love.

It is the Marxist who loves humanity as an abstraction and the irony is that abstract love ends up being translated to hatred for the individual so that Marxists love humanity as an abstraction but hate individual persons as concrete people. In their zeal to build Utopia for abstract humanity they hate the individual. They love omeletes but they hate eggs. This explains the Stalin proverb, “If you want to make an omelete (Utopia) you have to break (kill) a lot of eggs (individuals.)”

Love for people begins with love for those next to you. If you can’t love them you can’t expect me to take you seriously when you talk about loving humanity.

This is a constituent aspect of kinism. We believe that loving humanity means loving what is concrete and so near. This kinist hardly believes man as an abstraction. I have never met mankind. I have however met individuals of different races, different ethnicities and different religions. In the words of Joseph de Maistre;

“I have seen Frenchmen, Italians, Russians … I know, too, thanks to Montesquieu, that one can be a Persian. But as for man, I declare that I have never met him in my life; if he exists, he is unknown to me.” 

An Analysis on Mohler’s “Good News” Rejoicing

“We’re (The Church) looking at the very good news that the world is coming to us.”

Al Mohler
Speaking of Global emigration patterns

Deuteronomy 28:43 “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

Yeah … good news indeed. Just look at what a bang-up job we are doing already with all the world who has already come here. Why the Gospel is changing everything and everybody. The world who is coming here is converting hand over fist. Racial harmony is everywhere, abortion is down, minority on white crime is almost non-existent. Just imagine how successful the Gospel will be by 2046.

Why can’t Mohler open his eyes and see that who this is good news for is Lucifer? It is the Church that is being converted and it is being converted because it has accepted Cultural Marxism premises — including the idea that borders should be disregarded —  while thinking that such an infected non-Gospel is good news for anyone.

This is cowardice. Mohler is trying to turn Lev. 26/Deut. 28 upside down and pretend that what they describe as a curse is actually a blessing. Mohler’s out (consistent also with R2K) is to say that these verses of blessings and cursing no longer apply and that they only applied (or still apply) to Israel. The issue is that this requires us to believe that what God calls a curse on one nation is actually a blessing on other nations.

I wonder if Mohler’s counterpart in the Aztec priesthood said something along the lines of, “We’re looking at the very good news that the Christian white man is coming to us?” Or maybe Cortez wrote home telling about his great successes with the Aztecs: “The killing of virgins is down, fewer people are being dismembered, and the High Priests have entered into dialogue with our pastors.”

The fact that the world is coming to us is indicative of God’s judgment against us. God is exiling the visible church in the West by keeping it in its own homeland while flooding the West with the stranger and the alien so that the stranger and the alien become the head and not the tail.

Now let’s be clear here. The point is not that we should not preach Christ to all who come within the sound of our voice. The point is that it is foolish to flood one’s land with peoples who are strangers to our faith, our customs, our history, our language, and our culture and who often hold antipathy to the same. Yes, we must herald the Gospel but all because we must herald the Gospel that doesn’t mean, contra Mohler, that it is good news that we are being flooded with those who are making the visible church exiles in the land of their Christian Fathers.

Lewis, Elliot & Kirk on Europe’s Loss of Christianity

“I feel that very grave dangers hang over us. This results from the apostasy of the great part of Europe from the Christian faith. Hence a worse state than the one we were in before we received the Faith. For no one returns from Christianity to the same state he was in before Christianity but into a worse state: the difference between a pagan and an apostate is the difference between an unmarried woman and an adulteress. For faith perfects nature but faith lost corrupts nature.”

~C.S. Lewis

“If Christianity goes the whole of our culture goes. Then you must start painfully again, and you cannot put on a new culture ready-made. You must wait for the grass to grow to feed the sheep to give the wool out of which your new coat will be made. You must pass through many centuries of barbarism. We should not live to see the new culture, nor would our great-great-great-grandchildren; and if we did, not one of us would be happy in it.”

T. S. Elliot

“For a civilization to arise and flower, centuries are required; but the indifference or the hostility of a single generation may suffice to work that civilization’s ruin.”

Russell Kirk

Covenant Family

“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”

Black Lives Matter — Website 
What we Believe

Contra the Marxist convictions of the Black Lives Matter organization
children are born into the web of pre-existing relationships. They are silken cords that are connected to the past through their Kin and are silken cords that will connect kin past to kin yet to come so that the generations together form a trans-generational web of unity. This is the idea of covenant. We are not born atomistically, belonging to ourselves. We are born belonging to God and so to God’s family — a family which begins with — but isn’t limited to our blood family. Part of the idea of covenant is that we are organically related and connected through Christ and to each other so that with the birth of each new child the covenant web continues to connect the honored past with the gloriously anticipated future.

Answering Emily

Emily Dickinson is well known American poet. In this particular piece, Emily wrote the first two Quatrain ending her thoughts posing a question. The rest of the poem seeks to speak in the voice of faith to answer Emily’s question.

The going from a world we know
To one a wonder still
Is like the Child’s adversity
Whose vista is a hill.

Behind the Hill is sorcery
And everything unknown
But will the secret compensate
for climbing it alone.

I climb the hill but not alone
pass through a veil, not wall of stone;
behind the veil the mystery
of three in one and one as three

Does culminate in Love’s embrace
Yea, thrills the soul: ‘Our Savior’s Face’
And with benediction on His tongue
He sings the song of my ‘well done’

Atop that Hill is confirmation
Of everything revealed
The vista is the old now seen
Without so much concealed

Now the teeming throngs I see
Of the faithful who climbed ahead of me
Warriors now in Zion’s quarters
To pick the leaves and drink the waters

The eye of Faith is now of sight
What once opaque, now is light
And fast recedes the daunting hill
Whose presence mocked my present thrill
