White People Who Complain About White Privilege

White people who complain about “White Privilege” should just shut up and lead the way in stripping themselves of their “White Privilege.” If they are a Minister they should resign from their pulpit so a minority member can have the pulpit. If they are a student at a University they should quit so a minority member can have their slot. If they are a Politician they should cease politics and get behind a minority candidate somewhere.

The dirty little secret about White people who complain about white privilege is that they desire to retain their so-called white privilege while stripping other white people of their position, rank, or ability that they have worked very hard to achieve.

White people of position, status, or rank complaining about white privilege are merely virtue signaling. They are telling the world how noble they are because they stand for this hip cause. It is also Hypocrisy on human growth hormones because it complains about white privilege all the while refusing to give up their own status, place, or position.

And keep in mind that what occurs should they get their way is NOT the lifting of non-whites to the place of privilege but rather the lowering of whites so that all people can be without privilege.

The proof that white supremacy is a myth is found in white people complaining about white privilege. How much intelligence can exist in someone who would disinherit their children and people in order to feel good about themselves?

We should speak to the White non-Christian guilt angle. Here we find White Liberals creating false sins (White Privilege) that create false guilt. The Cultural Marxists tell us that an answer must be found for these White sins and White guilt. What will the answer be? Well, clearly the answer has become an attempt to try and cast their White guilt and White sins on those White people who dare disagree with them. As such Biblical Christians, who disagree with this notion of fake white guilt for fake white sins, become the means by which atonement is achieved. Atonement is achieved and the white Cultural Marxist’s white guilt is paid for and relieved as they sacrifice biblical Christians on the Cross of public opinion. They cover their own sins and relieve their own guilt by making a sacrificial lamb out of their Christian and White brothers and sisters who dare disagree with them.

Behold, the lamb of the White guilters who taketh away the fake sins of the White Cultural Marxist. Those White people who are Biblical Christians and who disagree with the White guilters are being pierced for the White Cultural Marxist’s transgression and crushed for their iniquities and by the stripes laid upon those who mock White guilters, the White guilters are healed. At least that is the way it is in their false White guilt Gospel.

Finally, on this score all Christians would do well to remember what Mr. Dan Brannan has perceptively noted on this subject;

“If Western man has inherited certain blessings from God as consequence of his historical relationship with the Almighty, and some now condemn these blessings as “the sin of White Privilege”, they are engaged in blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.”

Two Quotes On Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln could not have won his elections without foreigners and would have had a harder time winning his war if every 4th Union soldier had not been an immigrant…. The civil war that broke out in Missouri at the beginning of the war resembled a fight between Confederate Americans and recently arrived German Unionists.

The German revolutionaries brought with them an aggressive drive to realize in America the goals that had been defeated in their homeland with the failure of the Revolutions of 1848.

Clyde Wilson
The Yankee Problem — pg. 97

“Had the Confederates somehow won, had their victory put them in position to bring their chief opponents before some sort of tribunal, they would have found themselves justified . . . in stringing up President Lincoln and the entire Union high command for violation of the laws of war, specifically for waging war against noncombatants.”

Commemorating the Death of R. C. Sproul Sr. — 1939-2017

“…he being dead yet speaketh.”

Four years ago yesterday God gathered to Himself Dr. R. C. Sproul. This entry seeks to speak to the influence his books, videos, and tapes were on me as I was transitioning from full-throated Wesleyan-Arminianism to full-throated Calvinist.

I was not born and raised Reformed. In point of fact, I was raised Arminian (Wesleyan), trained in Arminian theology, and my first ordination was as a Wesleyan Pastor. My theology Professors in undergrad would write glowing notes in my Test books about how well I could demolish Calvinism.

Then I attended Seminary and was exposed to Calvinism by Professors who were Calvinists. The fight began. Thankfully, I lost.

One person that God used along the way to help me think through matters was Dr. R. C. Sproul Sr.. I never met the man but I read at least 20 of his books during this time of my fighting against the hound of heaven, not to mention countless of his video series and tape lectures. I even was able to attend a couple of his speaking confabs. Later I would disagree with Sproul over his errant position on presuppositionalism, theonomy, Reconstruction thought, some of his social order views, and even somewhat on Justification.

Yet still, I am thankful to God for Dr. R. C. Sproul and his ministry and how Sproul helped me to think through the conflict raging in my mind after Seminary. There were many others as well as Sproul, but Sproul was helpful. I remember going to and from work at the Airlines in Columbia, South Carolina listening to Sproul’s “Holiness of God” series and being overwhelmed at how BIG God is. I remember traveling to and from Maine to visit Jane’s family listening to Sproul’s “Dust to Glory” series. I remember working out on my stationary bike in the Basement viewing Sproul’s “Ideas have Consequences” video lectures.

Sproul’s gift to God’s Church was, in my estimation, his ability to popularize the Reformed faith. He was a master at getting the message out. He was to the Reformed faith what George Creel was to the Wilson Administration’s War effort during WW I. God would use Sproul to get ideas out there in the marketplace of ideas and once one came across those ideas they could go elsewhere to get them deeply reinforced. Nobody should underestimate the importance of getting ideas their initial exposure.

I am thankful for the life and ministry of Dr. R. C. Sproul. I look forward to meeting the man someday when we are both members of the Church at Rest.

Longfellow & The Bells He Heard On Christmas Day

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a New Englander and an ardent abolitionist. In 1863 he wrote the poem “I heard the bells on Christmas Day,” and later it was put to a tune. That tune is often song in Churches during this time of year, but keep in mind that when Longfellow says,

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men.”

That what Longfellow has in mind as “Wrong” is the Biblical Christianity of the South and what he has in his mind as “Right prevailing” is the Jacobin anti-Christianity of the Northern Yankees.

Further, there are stanzas of Longfellow’s poem that don’t find their way into most Christian hymn books. For example,

Then from each black, accursed mouth

The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rent

The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born

Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

So, Longfellow doesn’t give us a Christmas Carol so much as he gives us Jacobin agitprop. Per Longfellow, the South is responsible for breaking the peace on earth and goodwill to men. This is the opposite of the truth. Per Longfellow, it is the South’s fault that Northern homes are forlorn.

Longfellow doubtless writes this because his son Charlie was significantly wounded once, while a separate time Charlie returned home having contracted a serious fever while at the front.

What we sing, abstracted from the back story is fine but when we know the back story this Christmas Carol is almost as bad as Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” while sanctifying the wicked war effort as much as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” did.

Personally, I’d rather not sing this Jacobin agitprop at Christmas. I hate the cause of the Jacobin Yankees in their work at destroying the last great Christian civilization. I loathe the Lincoln-worshipers with their strained and attenuated understanding of US history.

Of course, you can find a Gospel Coalition article praising the song.

Dempster on Jacob’s Wrestling with God

Two birth scenes frame Jacob’s life: the struggle with Esau in the darkness of the womb, when he is born Jacob (Gen. 25:22-23), and the struggle with God in the darkness at the Jabbok river, when he is reborn Israel (Gen. 32:25-33). Similarly, two nocturnal divine encounters shape his life: the dream at Bethel (Gen. 28:10-22) and the struggle at Jabbok….

Just as Abram became a new man when he was circumcised and consequently renamed ‘father of many nations’, so Jacob becomes born again as ‘Israel’ after being crippled in a desperate struggle with a divine assailant (Gen. 32:25-30). As Geller remarks, this passage is extremely significant: ‘the eponymous ancestor of the nation is about to receive a national name.’ In what amounts to a second-birth experience, he fights in the darkness not with his brother (in the womb) but with God. He wins the fight by losing – by being broken – and facing up to his identity (Jacob – Deceiver). Consequently, he tells God who he is (Jacob the deceiver, the heel grabber) and has his name changed to Israel (God’s fighter). Jacob wins the blessing and will be God’s conquering warrior on earth. But he does not emerge unscathed; he is now lame, wounded in the thigh (Gen. 32:26, 33) – the place from which the descendants will come (Gen. 46:26, Ex. 1:5). Jacob has been circumcised in his spirit.
