DKQ – Palmer, Washington, Hodge

“I have said to them — and to their credit be it testified, the proposition has generally been accepted as the council of wisdom – if you are to be a historic people, you must work out your own destiny upon your own foundation. You gain nothing by a parasitic clinging to the White race; and immeasurably less, by trying to jostle them out of place. If you have no power of development from within you, you lack the first quality of a historic race, and must, sooner or later, go to the wall…. Were I a Black man, I should plead for a pure Black race, as, being a White man I claim it for the White race; and should only ask the opportunity for to work out its mission…. The true policy of both races is, that they shall stand apart in their own social grade, in their own schools, in their own ecclesiastical organizations, under their own teachers and guides: but with all kindness and helpful co-operation to which the old relations between the races, and their present dependence on each other would naturally predispose.”

Rev. Benjamin Mogan Palmer 
19th century Southern Minister 
As Quoted by Morton Howison Smith
Brotherhood and Race – p. 213-214

“In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress”

“This is a law of our being…. Members of the same nation have a feeling for each other which they have not for foreigners. Members of the same tribe or class in a community are bound together by a still closer tie.”

Dr. Charles H. Hodge 
19th century Northern Presbyterian Minister

Given these quotes from men of different races and different regions one has to wonder what has happened to the “conservative” “Reformed” churches of NAPARC that they should be forming Kangaroo courts in order to pursue a political purge of men in their midst whose views on race are mild compared to these quotes from giants in the Presbyterian world in a previous age.

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him. View all posts by jetbrane
