Unfettered Sex Brings Unfettered Death

A social order trajectory that begins with unconstrained libidinous passion will end in social order horror that consumes individuals, families, and nations. For example, the French intelligentsia philosophes embarked on the trajectory of emancipating the sexual impulse from the moral order and the end result was the tender strokes of Madame la Guillotine. What began as a loosening of sexual mores ended with the loosening of heads off of shoulders.

Consider also, as an example, the Weimar Republic of the 1920s. What began as the Sexual cabaret of Europe in the 1920s where every kind of fetish and deviance possible could be had for the right price ended with unnamed tyranny and rampant death for the “fatherland.”

Consider also the Bolshevik Revolution. Alexandra Kollentai led the way in sexual freedom for women. Women, under communist rule, were considered as belonging to no man but as belonging to the state for purchase. Kollontai, with Lenin’s approval, sought to destroy the concept of marriage and families. The results of this sexual freedom were so disastrous that even the Communist realized that they had to reverse course lest they wipe themselves out by sexual freedom.

Consider also the sexual revolution come to flower in the 1960s. Here sexual freedom hits a high watermark and a little over a decade later abortion is legalized in Roe v. Wade and the blood of the unborn begins to spill by the barrel.

There is a nexus between the liberation of sex from God-ordained expression and the consequent social order blood in the streets that naturally follows. We are witnessing that again in the West as we seek to eliminate any boundaries for sex. It almost seems that there is a principle at work here… a truism that demonstrates that unfettered sex guarantees unfettered death.

McAtee Spanks Horton … Again

“If we think that the main mission of the church is to improve life in Adam and add a little moral strength to the fading evil age, we have not yet understood the radical condition for which Christ is such a radical solution.”

Michael S. Horton
R2K Master Jedi

1.) False dichotomy. The consequence of the main mission of the Church — the placarding of Christ crucified — results in an improvement of life. That Horton wants to rig any challenge to his grunge thinking by characterizing the improved life that comes from the Church succeeding at its main mission in placarding Christ by adding “in Adam” merely reveals how desperate he is to twist the truth in his direction.

Does Horton not believe that the bowing of the knee of men and peoples to the Lordship of Jesus Christ eventuates in morally improved lives?

2.) We would agree that the EVIL AGE is fading, but as the age in question is evil it is not possible to add moral strength to it because by definition the age is EVIL.

3.) I know of no Christian thought leader who wants to add moral strength to this evil age. I know of no Christian thought leader who desires to improve life in Adam.

4.) Horton’s quote is merely a reflection of his pessimistic eschatology. Per Horton, the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Per Horton Christians should not expect men and nations to be Redeemed with the consequence that given life in the last Adam the age to come pushes back this present evil age and moral improvement is realized.

5.) I agree that the Church’s main mission is not about moralism. However, once Christ conquers a man and people, their lives are morally improved as the Holy Spirit works in them to increasingly become what they have been freely declared to be.

Do yourself a favor. Ignore Horton.

The Deity of Jesus

Psalm 107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24 These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. 28 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Here the Psalmist speaks of God as being the God who commands nature thus providing safety for His people in distress. We also have here the declaration that Jesus is Yahweh inasmuch as Jesus does the very thing in Matthew’s Gospel that the Psalmist describes in Psalm 107.

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

Jesus is God of whom the Psalmist speaks. He controls the waters. He calms His people. The deity of Christ is even emphasized again here as he identifies himself as “I AM” (It is I = ego eimi) — the name God gives for Himself to Moses at the burning bush.

This declaration of deity is seen again in Matthew 8

23 Jesus got into a boat. His followers followed Him. 24 At once a bad storm came over the lake. The waves were covering the boat. Jesus was sleeping. 25 His followers went to Him and called, “Help us, Lord, or we will die!” 26 He said to them, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then He stood up. He spoke sharp words to the wind and the waves. Then the wind stopped blowing. 27 Then men were surprised and wondered about it. They said, “What kind of a man is He? Even the winds and the waves obey Him.”

This is Jesus as God as seen in Psalm 89

9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Over and over again the NT proclaims Jesus is God. The enemies of Christ understood this so well they desired to stone Him because “He made Himself God.”

And yet we get people saying that Jesus was not God (JW’s). We get people saying that “Jesus was a good man though not God,” as if good men are described as those going around claiming to be God.

The Scriptures demand us to make a decision regarding Jesus of Nazareth. Either He is very God of very God co-equal with the Father or He is someone whose name should be held as execrable through time for the delusion that it has inspired in people.

Trinity Sunday … The One & The Many

“For the highest thing does not tend to union only; the highest thing, tends also to differentiation. You can often get men to fight for the union; but you can never prevent them from fighting also for the differentiation. This variety in the highest thing is the meaning of the fierce patriotism, the fierce nationalism of the great European civilization. It is also, incidentally, the meaning of the doctrine of the Trinity.”

― G.K. Chesterton, Heretics

We no longer fight for differentiation. The fight “Christians” are fighting for now is a fight for the God of Unitarianism. “Christians” are the ones denying differentiation. They do so by embracing the heroes of Uniformitarianism. They Imagine along with John Lennon

Imagine there’s no countries

It isn’t hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

And they sing along with U2

I believe in the kingdom come

Then all the colors will bleed into one

Bleed into one

But yes I’m still running

These are the troubadours of the Unitarian God and we sing along with them.

In the Church, we are showing our fighting for Union by the insistence that there is no differentiation in men. It has no reached the point where we argue that any differentiation between men and women biologically speaking is merely a social construct. Soon the argument will run, and it already running in dark subterranean places that there isn’t any differentiation between children and adults and that former differentiation is likewise just a social construct. But we started this fight against differentiation and for Union with the refusal to recognize that real differences exist between peoples and ethnos. Before that was the fight against the traditional Christian social roles of men and women previously acknowledged by patriarchy.

This is the cause of the Revolutionary. They fight for Uniformity and against all differentiation. This has been seen over and over again in History. We’ve noted it here before. Whether it was the Phrygian cap worn by the French Revolutionaries to communicate the leveling enterprise or the slogan of citizen which labeled all people alike. Whether it was the ubiquitous Mao suit as a leveling advertisement or the usage of “Comrade” to level men and women. Revolutionaries are hopeless Unitarians. They really believe that all colors bleed into one and they are fighting for that Unitarian goal. This promise of the Unitarian God was used by the Serpent in the Garden. His promise to our first parents was … The differentiation between you and God will disappear if you just eat.

But the Christian has been and is described as Trinitarian. We fight with all our being against the Unitarian impulse we see all around us. We are fighting for differentiation and in fighting for that we are fighting for the Character of God … we are fighting for the Trinity. It is the Uncreated Trinity that reminds us of created differentiation. When we insist upon distinctions we are at that moment being Christian. When we chastise the visible Church because it is advocating the unitarian impulsed of the World we do so out of love for what Gregory of Nyssa called, “My Trinity.”

Now, what does Chesterton mean when he ends his quote by saying, “It is also, incidentally, the meaning of the doctrine of the Trinity?” Chesterton is first telling us that God is both Union and Differentiation. God is both One and Many. When we lose either of these realities we fall into the heresy of Unitarianism. And this is where we are right now in the modern Church. We are functionally Unitarian… and this includes the Postmoderns, oddly enough.

Postmodernism, it is argued, is a philosophy that differentiates. However, I would say that Postmodernism does result in Unitarianism. The Union that Postmodernism finds in the universal lack of unity. Postmodernism gives us the negation of union as the means of unity. Both the Unitarian error and the Postmodern Diversity error bring about a Unitarian world. Unitarianism does so by the denial of the Trinity. Postmodernism does so by the unity found in the negation of unity. There is a Unity found and lived in the negation of unity.

And so the only way to escape from a Uniformity world that is absent the Many taught in Christianity is to find our way back to Trinitarian thinking. Trinitarian thinking allowed for differentiation between men and women in their roles, differentiation between men and women in their biological realities, differentiation between children and adults, and differentiation between people groups.

On this Trinity Sunday, we must fight hard for a return to the idea of God as One and Many because the loss of this understanding is creating a monochromatic world where colors, genders, ages, and peoples do indeed bleed into one.
