Toby Sumpter On Superficial Divisions

“The multicultural globalist want to blend all culture into a bland humanism, but the blood-and-soil types end up insisting on superficial divisions. Covenant is the key to earthy and biblical unity and diversity, of what we might call a Protestant feudalism and Christendom.”

Toby “No Legs Yet Walking” Sumpter

I.) Nothing At All About Blood?

1.) “The Promise is to you and to your children….” Acts 2:39

2.) Gen. 12: 2 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

3.) God is known as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, (note the patrilineal descent) and not the God of Abraham, Hiram, and Malik.

4.) Gen. 24:²One day Abraham said to his oldest servant, the man in charge of his household, “Take an oath by putting your hand under my thigh. ³Swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not allow my son to marry one of these local Canaanite women. ⁴Go instead to my homeland, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.”

Keep in mind that the wife that was later married by Jacob from these same relatives of Abraham was beset with the same pagan mindset as was true of the local Canaanite women as seen in her running off with Laban’s household gods. We note that so that we see that it wasn’t as if the people of Abraham were God-fearers unlike the local Canaanites and their women-folk.

5.) Do keep in mind also that there is a reason for all those genealogies in Scripture that demonstrate that Jesus the Christ was the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Matthew 1) In point of fact Jesus remains the Lion of the tribe of Judah at this very moment with DNA typable blood at the right hand of the Father.

6.) Ezra and Nehemiah and their decrying of mixed marriages and children anybody?

7.) “I was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel.” Jesus the Christ

Now before I am accused of suggesting that blood is the only consideration allow me to disavow that. I am only saying there that the covenant is not a Gnostic covenant. Grace, because of God’s ordination, typically runs in generational familial lines. Blood is not everything but neither is it nothing. Jesus enemies during his earthly ministry made descent an idol. Today the enemies of Biblical Christianity make descent to mean nothing as if grace does not, because of God’s free assignment, run in generational lines.

II.) Nothing At All About Soil?

So much for all those promises about “the promised land.” And what about our one day “inheriting the whole earth?”

So, it is not at all about blood and soil and yet Christ had to come from the tribe of Judah. It’s not at all about blood and soil yet Paul can say in Romans;

“the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”

And Jesus will say to the Samaritan woman in John 4;

22You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

What is hilarious is that these same people like Old Toby will deny all categories of blood and soil while still insisting that those reputed to be blood Jews still have a glorious future ahead of them misinterpreting Romans 11. Still others want to say that the blood Jews are going to rebuild the temple on the glorious soil of Jerusalem.

Old Toby’s “thinking” (we’re feeling generous in calling it “thinking) gives us not only propositional nationhood but also propositional covenant theology. This is Gnostic covenantalism. The fact that it comes from putative Presbyterians demonstrates how far many of the Presbyterians have gone in grace destroying nature.

Again, my point in all this is to say “Old Toby is wrong.” Covenant has to do with blood and soil. My point is that while blood and soil are not everything neither are they nothing. For Pete’s sake that is proven by the 5th commandment. That is proven by the fact that the Holy Spirit can say;

“if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

I Timothy 5:8

Finally, note this clergy member said that family ties are nothing but superficial divisions. Good gravy, if that isn’t the theme song of the Globalists among us I don’t know what is. I find it shocking that a Presbyterian — the folks who historically believed that the best method of Church growth was by having large families — is telling me that family ties are superficial divisions. It is shocking as hearing P-Diddy saying “sex should be saved for marriage.”

Family is not everything. We must give up family if necessary to follow Christ but family is so important that God uses the idea of “family” to define how the church members should inter-relate.

And yet for Old Toby it is a “superficial division” — kind of like being a Michigan or Michigan State fan.

Have We Gone Too Far With This Christian Nationalism / Kinism?

As the heat has been turning way up recently on the Christian Nationalism debate (people use all kinds of different phrases for that debate) lately, I have noticed more than a few people trying to find the middle of the road. These are the “split the middle” types seeking to insist that all sides on the debate are in error.

I offer two quotes as examples;

“The reason that there is so much heat (instead of light) being generated surrounding some aspects of Christian Nationalism is partly because of two ditches that need to be avoided:

One side seeks to ‘ethni-tize’ everything (or make it all about ‘clanship’ as David Schrock has said), ultimately mimicking some sub-biblical philosophy, and the OTHER side seeks to spiritualize everything – to untether natural relations – and disparage family, land, or any shared historical affinities.

Both are unbiblical and idiotic.”

Jim Brushtune
Reformed Baptist Pastor

“Kinism is a poisonous, unbiblical overreaction to the left’s social justice and CRT.”

Jay Antelo
Reformed Rican

First, we might note that this is a little evidence that the Overton window is shifting ever so slightly on the subject. As recent as just a year ago, people would not have suggested that there was some truth in Christian Nationalism insisting that the problem with CN is that it has gone to far. A year ago people were still, in the main, raining down anathemas on all ethno-nationalism type of arguments.However, one has to realize that this “middle of the road” nonsense is just not sane. Keep in mind that in the last 60 years or so we have lived through social revolutionary times and each decade as seen that Revolutionary activity push the culture increasingly to the left. Because this is so, any counter-revolutionary activity (such as Christian Nationalism) in any degree looks Revolutionary to the leftist Revolutionaries and the hoi polloi rank and file who have had their minds captured by the left.

This means that the least push for Christian Nationalism/Kinism/racial-realism or ethno-nationalism is going to be seen by the hoi polloi middle as something that is automatically extreme no matter how slight that push is. As such, the “middle of the roaders” who desire to say that we have to deal with two extremes are seeking to codify where the left’s revolutionary impulse has taken us over the last 60 years. To be sure, they may want to undo the most recent push of multiculturalism with the success of the trannie and sodomite leveling but they would never want to go back to the days when the US was a 88% white and largely Christian nation. Why, that would be to make everything about “clanship” or, alternately, that would be a poisonous unbiblical over-reaction. In the words of guys like Andrew Sandlin or Doug Wilson that would be akin to “Nazisim.”

And yet that is the world that for the first twenty years of my life that I lived in. Now, to insist that world was a good place and to be preferred as having greater stability as compared to and with what we have now is considered turning everything into clanship and practicing a poisonous unbiblical over-reaction.

Championing what we were in 1980 societally is not Nazism, no matter what Doug Wilson or Andrew Sandlin tell you. Those of us who desire a Biblical Christian Nationalism that honors the various white Anglo-Saxon Christian regional flavors that used to characterize these united States is not trying to ethnic-ize everything. Instead it is merely to want to honor our Fathers who combined a love of nation with a love of their own respected regions (regionalism).

So, beware the “split the middle” type arguments. The numbers of those arguing for the “Nazi” position are so minuscule there is no need to take them seriously. Oh, there is no doubt, that those Nazi minority types out there will be pointed too as “classical Christian Nationalism” but that is all done to poison the Christian Nationalism pool.

Those who are seeking to reason that people (Kinists, Christian Nationalists, ethno-nationalists, racial-realists) on all sides are wrong are themselves wrong. The Christian Nationalists are not seeking to ethnic-ize everything and the Kinists are not a unbiblical poisonous reaction, though those on the moderate left and the far left want you to think so.

“Mother Jones” “TheoBros,” & One Related Tangent

I spent two posts dismissing Rev. Chris Gordon’s dismissal of Christian Nationalism/Post-millennialism, only to read today a “Mother Jones” article that is seeking to warn everybody about the rise of what Gordon says is a dying movement. As odd as it may sound it seems both “Mother Jones” and I agree on something vis-a-vis Chris Gordon.

To Understand JD Vance, You Need to Meet the “TheoBros”

The “Mother Jones” article is worth a read in my opinion. What is most interesting about the “Mother Jones” piece is that this traditionally liberal rag gives the movement that Gordon so eschews a more objective take than most people like Gordon and the ilk from the Reformed-Evangelical world give the movement. Now, to be sure, “Mother Jones” is opposed to the movement and it’s article is seeking to “expose” the movement as something dangerous, but even despite that obvious slant there is in the piece a more even handed approach to what is being reported on then can be found from the likes of Chris Gordon and his R2K/Pietistic Baptist fellow travelers.

You can read the article for yourself if you please. However, there is one point I want to draw attention to and that is the label “Mother Jones” gives the movement. The label “Mother Jones” gives is “The Theobros.” Now, the problem I have with this handle is that it subtly implies that “The Theobros” are brothers who are uniquely operating according to a common theology. The beef here is, is that those who are opposed “The Theobros,” like “Mother Jones” are themselves also Theobros, in the sense that their militant opposition to “The Theobros” is based on a shared theology. It is not as if “The Theobros” are unique in being bonded together by their shared theology. When bond are bonded together a key factor in their being bonded together for a particular cause is a theology that makes them Theobros.

I point this out because I am convinced that underneath this labeling is the idea that people can be scared of “The Theobros” movement for the precise reason that they are caricatured as religious extremists, when in point of fact it is the Marxist Theobros opposing “The Theobros” who are the religious extremists.

If I may, I will only give one critique of “The Theobros.” This critique is not based on the article, though the article, if read closely, I think lends credence to this critique. My critique of “The Theobros” movement is that it is not self-referentially consistent. Now, some are clearly better than others among “The Theobros” but there are many in this movement who are only interested in taking half-measures, half-taken. The remedy that many in this movement are offering will not cure the disease. So, even if they are successful, I do not think that we, as a Christian nation, will be much better off. Oh, we may be better off for a season but the basic trajectory this nation is on will not be altered. The one way I could be wrong on this is if “The Theobros” movement is muting their voices because they know that, politically speaking, they can not say the quiet parts out loud. In brief, I do think that many of them are trying to move the Overton Window but they are not moving it yet past what is still considered acceptable by those on the right side of the left. As I noted, this may be merely a tactic rather than a conviction.

This brings me to a tangent that while unrelated to the “Mother Jones” article remains related to the subject as a whole.

Recently, I was talking to someone I am fairly confident would be considered a “Theobros.” During the conversation he said that he did not like the methodology of Kinism. As someone who knows a little bit about Kinism I asked him if he could be precise as to what this methodology of Kinism is to which he objects.

He replied by noting two things that I would like to spill a few sentence examining.

First he said, “That I don’t like how Kinists say that inter-racial marriage is sin.”

I must admit that I find this flummoxing. It is true that there are some few Kinists who say that all inter-racial marriage is sin. However, there are also even more Kinists who do not say that all inter-racial marriages are sin always all the time. There are more than a few Kinists, like myself, who merely say that while inter-racial marriages can be sin, they are not necessarily always sin but are normatively, as the higher statistical averages on the divorce rate for inter-racial couples bear out, not wise, and so these Kinists strongly counsel against such marriages, stopping short of labeling it as “always sin.”

https://www.thehivelaw.com/blog/interracial-divorce-rates-what-percentage-of-interracial-marriages-end-in-divorce/

My conversation partner’s protest then was not valid on this point.

His second reason for “not liking the methodology of Kinism,” was his being wedded to the theory of Natural Law. He doesn’t like the fact that Kinists, often (though not always) being theonomists, find Natural Law theory ridiculous. I sought to assure him that some Kinists might well embrace Natural Law while still being Kinists. This objection of his to “so called” Kinist methodology is even more non-weighty than his first objection. If one desires to embrace Natural Law while embracing Kinism nobody is going to tear up your Kinist membership card though you may be challenged on that particular point as a side-bar discussion.

What I see has happened is that the word “Kinism” has been turned into a “boogeyman.” Just as people are scared of being tagged with the word “racist,” or “anti-semite,” or “homophobic” so they have been convinced that being labeled with the opprobrium of “Kinist” is the worst thing in the world to happen. However, like the other words just mentioned, people do not realize that they are being manipulated to operate in the world view of those who are slinging the accusations. Since otherwise decent people are being stampeded into avoiding the left hurling these words at them, people begin to operate in such a way as to avoid these empty-minded pejoratives and in their mad rush to avoid these slurs these otherwise decent people operate in terms of their enemy’s world and life view.

Given the world and life view of God’s enemies and our enemies there is not necessarily or automatically any sin in being what they call “racist” or “anti-semite,” or “homophobe” or even “Kinist.” These are just words used to manipulate people into accepting their Cultural Marxist Weltanschauung (Worldview). If we are going to be successful in resisting the Cultural Marxists we need to get used to the way they hurl these words at us and reply with something like;

“Well, I’m sure to someone who is a Cultural Marxist like yourself your accusations make sense, and honestly, were I a Cultural Marxist like you I might say the same, but since I am not a Cultural Marxist, but instead am a Christian, I do not share the premise behind your accusations, and so find your accusations to be folly. I do not take your accusations seriously in the least.”

Christian Nationalism & A Book List To Break The Spell Of The Post-WW II Consensus

It seems to be pretty well recognized that in order to see reality for what it is one has to get rid of the Post WW II narrative that has been foisted upon the West. More and more people are beginning to realize that the Death of the West is guaranteed as long as the West continues to accept the mythology surrounding WW II.

One of the major myths of the post-war consensus is the evil of any kind of Nationalism. The post-war consensus tells us that Nationalism = Fascism. Dumb Christians take this idea up and summarily condemn all forms of Nationalism. This is very convenient because the only alternative to Nationalism is some kind of Internationalism, whether that of Empire, Globalist, or Communist — none of which are particularly Christians since they each and all guarantee a statist centralism that is foreign to the Scriptures. The Scriptures instead give us decentralized Jurisdictionalism wherein within the confine of nation by nation (people group by people group) the interdependent jurisdictions of family, church, and diverse civil social orders. This kind of nationalism might well be referred to as regionalist nationalism.

In the Christian community we have Dr. Stephen Wolfe for bringing the idea of Christian Nationalism back into our consciousness. Now, there are significant areas I disagree with Dr. Wolfe on (can you say Natural Law theory?) but no one can doubt that Dr. Wolfe has driven the conversation.

However, long before Dr. Wolfe was on the scene the Kinists were doing the spade work for Christian Nationalism since Christian Nationalism is the inevitable consequence of a Biblical Kinism. One cannot thump for Biblical Kinism and not be four-square in favor of Christian Nationalism. Indeed a banner argument for Kinism from the beginning is that the Scriptures affirm the necessity and presence of self-conscious Nations — Nations that continue to exist beyond the resurrection so as to be found entering the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21.

The post WW II narrative has sought to choke the air out of this cornerstone Biblical observation regarding peoples and nations. The sad thing is that “Legion” is the name of the Christians who have embraced this anti-Christ egalitarian WOKE doctrine even arguing that the Church should lead the way in “all colors bleeding into one,” by chanting ad-nauseum their derelict and retarded handling of Galatians 3 that “in Christ there is neither male for female, Jew nor Greek, slave or free.”

There is a good deal of work to be repeated (because, frankly, the work has already been done) in both the area of Biblical exegesis and in the area of revisionist history of WW II mythical narrative dogma. It is the case that both a significantly errant reading of Scripture and a significantly errant reading of history has brought us to the place we are at.

With that in mind I offer a reading list for those interested in awaking from the spell cast upon them that put them in their dogmatic slumbers. In many other places on Iron Ink I have already dealt with the exegetical end of Christian Nationalism. With this reading list I deal with the propaganda that we’ve all been fed since the beginning of WW II.

Here are just some of the books I have read over the years that account for why I don’t buy the WW II narrative propaganda;

The order is random

1.) Pearl Harbor: The Seeds & Fruits of Infamy – Percy L. Greaves Jr.

2.) The Backdoor to War — Charles Callan Tansill

3.) Churchill’s War — III Volumes — David Irving

4.) Hitler’s War — II Volumes – David Irving

5.) Freedom Betrayed — Herbert Hoover

6.) Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace – Harry Elmer Barnes

7.) FDR Goes to War — Burton W. Folsom Jr. Anita Folsom

8.) Roosevelt’s Road to Russia – George N. Crocker

9.) “Stalin’s Secret War” — Nikolai Tolstoy

10.) Other Losses — James Bacque

11.) The Roosevelt Myth — John T. Flynn

12.) American Betrayal — Diana West

13.) FDR, The Other Side of the Coin; How We are Tricked into WW II — Hamilton Fish

14.) FDR; My Exploited Father-in-Law — Curtis B. Dall

15.) How Britain Initiated Both World Wars — Nick Kollerstrom
16.)The Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II — Viktor Suvorov

Be careful though. If you see through the Post World War II Narrative you will be hated by all should you offer your knowledge of the matter.

Observations on White Boy Summer

I find it more and more the case that when Doug Wilson hates anything I find myself loving it — and make no mistake about it Doug Wilson hates “White Boy Summer” as seen in his cringe mocking attempt by labeling it “White Soy Bummer.” You know what they say about Liberals don’t you? They rightly observe that Liberals just don’t have a sense of humor, and Doug’s sense of humor regarding White Boy Summer amounts to a Ebenezer Scrooge “Bah Humbug.” Doug is being a grumpy old man.

Despite all the angst and chagrin coming from Doug and his lackey CREC sycophants (Toby Sumpter, Gabriel Rench, Chocolate Knox, Darren Doane etc.) White Boy Summer is here to stay. That is a good thing.

It is a good thing because “White Boy Summer” has become a rallying point especially for White Christian males who have finally decided that they refuse to eat anymore fecal sandwiches being served up by the burgeoning pagan culture, which is hell bound determined to blame the woes of the minority world on white people and the 1500 year old Christian theology and culture that together with his God ordained genetics made the white man the towering figure of world history. Let’s be honest here… it is not just pagan culture that is serving up the fecal sandwiches to Western Christian White men. It is also much of the visible Church in the West, including those expressions that like to think of themselves as “Conservative.”

“White Boy Summer” communicates that the embers of Western Christian Civilization still burn hot beneath the blackened ash that was once a raging fire that nurtured and warmed the whole globe. Those who have eyes to see can see that if the New World Order globalists/Satanists are to be defeated, they can only be defeated by the battalions that are beginning to form around the banner of White Boy Summer.

What White Boy Summer has done to propel itself into the National spotlight (shoot, even taking Lugenpresse head, Joy Reid — she of MSPMS fame– mentioned the great racist danger that is White Boy Summer) is that it has pulled some jiu jitsu on the Cultural Marxists. The Cultural Marxists have been complaining for a couple decades (at least) about how evil the white man is. Books have been written by putative Academics like Robin DiAngelo, Ibram X. Kendi, and Henry Louis Gates Jr. criminalizing and demeaning whites and whiteness. This attack on whites and whiteness has always been a clever proxy war against Christianity. These authors and their copycats understood that what made the white man so evil was that he was perfumed with Christianity. However, the Cultural Marxists understood that their cause would be better served to attack white people than to wage a frontal assault on Christianity. So, the proxy war against Christianity has been fought by the Cultural Marxists by attacking white people and whiteness. The jiu jitsu that the White Boy Summer crew has used on the Cultural Marxists is to take the proxy war against Christianity that has been waged against white people and turn it so that a proxy defense of Christianity is being fought by defending white people. White Boy Summer is indeed defending White People (it is good to be White, after all) but in defending White people the higher purpose is to defend Christ and Gospel Christianity.

The Cultural Marxists decided long ago to make White people the target so as to bring down Christian Western Civilization. The slogan “White Boy Summer” is the response. It is a subtle but unmistakable flipping of the table. White Boy Summer is saying to the Cultural Marxists, “You decided to attack Christ by attacking the people most perfumed with Christ. We have decided to meet you on the field of battle by defending Christ by defending the people, who throughout history have been, by God’s grace alone, perfumed with Christ.”

White Boy Summer then is a movement that has finally decided to fight back against those who have been seeking to “make Western Culture stink” for several generations.

Of course, the 95 IQ types jump up and down hollering “racist, fascist, bigot, blah blah blah” and this even though the White Boy Summer chaps have resolutely pointed out that all peoples are welcome to celebrate White Boy Summer just so long as they can honestly celebrate the Christianity that created White Anglo Saxon Protestant culture.

I have a friend in Europe who isn’t white and he constantly tells me that what he most earnestly wishes to do is to come alongside and support the work of heritage Europeans who share a White Boy Summer Christian world and life view. He doesn’t want to be the leader. He wants to support the white leaders who will be working to return the white man to the oaths of allegiance to Christ that they swore long ago.

So, there are minorities who understand and celebrate the superiority of historic white culture and the Christianity that accounts for it, and they certainly welcome to celebrate. At the same time there are cascades of white people who are self-haters because of their hatred of Christ. Part of this is accounted for by the propaganda that we are inundated with as delivered up by the Cultural Marxists. Part of this accounted for by the education that we submerge our children in from grade school to University and beyond. Part of this accounted for by lousy “conservative” churches and “clergy.” Instead of manfully fighting for Christ and their Christian people and family much of the clergy has cast their lot with the enemies of Christ and the enemies of White Boy Summer.

It really is incredible that the clergy in the West doesn’t understand the implications of the fifth commandment. It is stunning that they glide over Romans 9 where Paul speaks so highly of his own wayward people, demonstrating a natural affection for his people. It is shocking that the clergy today miss the direct statement of I Timothy 5:8 about responsibility to kin. It is bewildering that today’s clergy completely elide by Revelation 21-22 where we see all those Nations in their Nations entering into the new Jerusalem. Finally, it is nothing but a resolved historical ignorance that keeps the “conservative” clergy from acknowledging that all the Church Fathers would have been celebrants of White Boy Summer given their quotes that have been exhaustively documented.

What else can we say that most clergy and churches in the West are literally on the wrong side of history? By refusing to own movements like Kinism, White Boy Summer, and Christian Nationalism, etc. the churches and clergy of the West are anathematizing themselves. In God’s words they are “worse than an infidel (I Tim. 5:8).”

Let’s close by clearing something up. Recently, Joel Webbon and a couple other chaps did a podcast where Webbon said;

“Older theonomists are not fans of White Boy Summer.”

Joel Webbon

There are not many theonomists anymore who are much older than me and I love me some White Boy Summer. Indeed, I have to say that all the theonomists I know who are my age, give or take 15 years, love White Boy Summer. All Kinists, regardless of their age, love White Boy Summer, and see White Boy Summer as an extension of Kinism.

I think Webbon sees guys like Sandlin and Doug Wilson carping about White Boy Summer and he concludes that guys like that are typical theonomists.
They ARE NOT. typical theonomists. Indeed, it is doubtful that they are theonomists at all. Indeed, both Sandlin and Wilson long ago left the Rushdoonian theonomy world. Anyone who has listened to and read Rushdoony (the Grand-Daddy of theonomy) knows that on the whole Rushdoony would have saluted White Boy Summer. This is especially true of the early Rushdoony.

So as an older theonomist, I salute the White Boy Summer crew and say “Party on Garth.”
