Wherein We See How Horton & McDurmon Leave Us Shipwrecked

“… it’s a good thing that we no longer live in an era where Christianity is a culture.”

Dr. Michael Horton — Reformed Seminary Professor
One of R2k’s Architects

Keep in mind that Mike, if he was consistent, would say that mankind has never lived in an era where Christianity was a culture. This is the case because Mike Horton, like all R2K mobsters, does not believe it is possible for any culture to be Christian since culture by definition, like Education, Law, Family life, Arts, etc. cannot be “Christian.” Per R2K, only Churches and individuals can be Christian. So, per R2K, all those centuries of Christendom were not really Christendom. Per R2K, those cultures in the era of Cromwell, or in the era of the Puritans in the “New World,” or in the era of Alfred the Great when his Kingdom was ruled by excerpts taken right out of God’s Law, or the era of Charlemagne, etc. were never Christian in any sense in their culture. Per R2K culture can only be common and of course, if a culture is not Christian but is only common then the only category left for that R2K common culture is “non-Christian.” Unless, of course, the R2K lads are arguing that common culture is a neutral culture. However, given the fact that the bastion of R2Kism is Westminster Seminary – Cal. where all the papers of Cornelius Van Til are held, I know the R2K lads could not be arguing that the common realm is a neutral realm. Or could they be arguing that?

There is some irony here for those with eyes to see. The Reformed world is not caught between the hammer of R2K and the anvil of Alienist Cultural Marxist “theonomy” as promoted by the likes of Joel McDurmon (he of “the oldest law student in America” fame) and his hacks over at “The Lamb’s Reign.” On the one hand, the uber Amillennial R2K teaches, as seen by Mike’s quote above, “... it’s a good thing that we no longer live in an era where Christianity is a culture,” while the uber postmillennial Alienist Cultural Marxist “theonomy” teaches CRT, WOKE, and Intersectionality. Indeed for the Alienist Cultural Marxist “theonomists,” any cultural era preceding the CRT era was not Christian. So, boiling it down the amil R2K hammer lads are telling us that “it’s good Christian culture is gone,” while the postmil Cultural Marxist theonomists anvil lads are telling us that “only Cultural Marxist culture is Christian.” Not surprisingly Biblical Christians respond with, “a pox upon both your houses.” 

A Few Observations on the Jared Taylor vs. E. Michael Jones Debate

There is an interesting debate on the issue of race over here;

https://odysee.com/@gtk:4/thegreatdebate:3?fbclid=IwAR0xl7-cS7L9J95A40jVwvbhwctyyV8Bk3Yd1T8tNNTrCAHddU1jPX4pwn0

The question being debated is “Is Race an Important Reality or is it a Fiction.” Jared Taylor argues that Race is an important reality and Dr. E. Michael Jones takes the position that Race is a fictional reality. One would have to view the debate to get the gist of Taylor’s and Jones’ distinction.

Contra both E. Michael Jones and Jared Taylor the white man is who he is because of his genetic legacy and because of the grace of the God of the Bible who has ordained civilizational Christianity as authored and carried by the Christian White man. To suggest, as Jared Taylor does, that the White man is what he is only because of genetics is rank materialism. On the other hand to suggest, as E Michael Jones does, that the White man is what he is only because of his “culture, language, and religion,” is embracing some kind of environmentalism. This Gnostic type of reductionism can be seen in this quote from the debate from Dr. Jones;

“What is the vehicle for the continuity of the Irish people? It’s not DNA. It is language, religion, and culture. That is the vehicle and that has in the past absorbed all different kinds of DNA (among the Irish).”

Jones here has completely dismissed genetics as having any influence on people and people groups opting instead to assert that people and people groups are only products of their environment.

In the end, in my estimation, Taylor vs. Jones in this debate reduces down to nurture (Jones) vs. nature (Taylor) argument. All a Biblical Christian can say to such a debate is “a pox upon both your houses.”

Man is a modified unichotomy — which is to say that man is body and soul that exists as united in life with each aspect identifiable as distinct but as so intertwined that only at death does a divorce take place.

It does us no good like Jones and Taylor to try and play man’s material reality against his spiritual reality. Man is a modified unichotomy and can not be understood outside of his modified unichotomous reality.

It is interesting that the Alienists in our discussions with them years ago made the same mistakes that Jones makes in his debate with Taylor while Taylor makes the same mistakes that the Marxists make when debating with Kininsts. So far as I know only Kinists — being Biblical Christians — understand that man is a modified unichotomy that must not be reduced to either only his corporeal side or only his spiritual side. Man is indeed influenced by his religion, culture, history, language as Jones maintains but man is not only influenced by his environment. Man is a corporeal being and that corporeality contributes to the identity of people and people groups.  In point of fact, it could be argued that environment (Jones) and genetics (Taylor) provide a kind of information loop that reinforces the influence of each — a loop that sinful man can only rise above by a supernatural conversion that has the ability to alter both nurture and nature.

If E. Michael Jones had his way there would be little diversity (maybe language) in Unity. If Jared Taylor had his way there would be little if any unity in diversity. Jones’ gives us the vision of a “Christianized” John Lenon. Taylor gives us the vision of Madison Grant.

There are some areas in which I think that Dr. Jones was correct. You go ahead and view the debate and tell me where I might agree with Jones.

McAtee Contra Littlejohn on Nationalism

“Nationalism can also err by defining the boundaries of the nation too narrowly—identifying a part of the nation with “the true nation,” and ostracizing the rest. This is one possible error of Christian nationalists if they allow themselves to think their unbelieving neighbors are not really fellow Americans; it is also the error of “white nationalism,” which conflates national identity with race. National identities may involve race and religion—and indeed many nations have historically been quite racially or religiously homogenous—but American national identity is necessarily looser and more varied.”

Brad Littlejohn

1.) Dr. Littlejohn needs to keep in mind the etymological definition of the word from whence “Nation” comes. That word is “natal.” Per the 1828 Webster dictionary “Nation as its etymology imports, originally denoted a family or race of men descended from a common progenitor, like tribe.” So contra the esteemed Dr. Littlejohn nations cannot be nations unless they are both racially and religiously homogenous. The lack of such homogeneity presages conflict and friction in the geographic area mistakenly being called a “nation.” So, Dr. Littlejohn is simply in error here.

2.) As to “unbelieving neighbors,” I would still consider them Americans though their embrace of different faith will work to the end of their ostracizing themselves from the larger community just as I am now ostracized from America because I do not embrace humanism which is the current religion of America. I am a historic American by race but not a current American because of religion.

3.) Dr. Littlejohn says that “National identities may involve race and religion.” This implies that National identities may not involve race and religion which is just utter nonsense. A nation that does not share a common race (it may be the common race of no race or all races such as is the modern multicult America currently) and a common religion (it may be the common religions of no and all religions as is the modern multicult America now) cannot possibly be a nation.

4.) Dr. Littlejohn ends by saying; “American national identity is necessarily looser and more varied.” First, I would say that historically this just is not true. America was made for the descendants of Europe which is explicitly stated in the US Constitution when the White Christian European founders inked;

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and OUR posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of …

POSTER’ITY, noun [Latin posteritas, from posterus, from post, after.]

A. Descendants; children, children’s children, etc. indefinitely; the race that proceeds from a progenitor. -Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

Keep in mind that whether in the Continental Congress who inked the Constitution nor in the State Conventions that ratified the Constitution could you find anyone except White Europeans — and most of those were Christian.

The fact that we were not organized as “loosely and more varied,” as Littlejohn has it is seen in the writings of more than one founder. Here is John Jay;

“Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people,” a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs.” –

John Jay
1st Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

Then there is The Naturalization Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 103) which provided the first rules to be followed by the United States government in granting national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were “free white persons” of “good moral character.”

So, whatever may be the case now, historically Littlejohn is in gross error to say that Americans have a National Identity that is necessarily looser and more varied.

Next, I would say that current America is NOT looser and more varied in terms of National Identity. In order to be a current American, you have to own a National Identity that finds unity in the fact that America now will always be a mutt nation with mutt religion. To insists that America should not be mutt in race or religion makes one effectively non-American. I see little of Littlejohn’s “looser and more varied,” in American identity today.

Thinking About Becoming Muslim

 “It’s our belief that one day mujahideen will have victory, and Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world. We are not in a hurry. We believe it will come one day. Jihad will not end until the last day.”

Taliban commander to CNN Reporter

(The gospel age) “will finally result in the complete destruction of the church as a mighty and influential organization for the spread of the Gospel. For, finally every tribe and people and tongue and nation will worship antichristian government.”

William Hendricksen
More Than Conquerors p. 178

“God is not redeeming the cultural activities and institutions of this world… Those who hold a traditional Protestant view of justification consistently should not find a redemptive transformationist perspective attractive.”

David Van Drunen — Westminster Seminary California Professor
“Living in God’s Two Kingdoms”, pp. 13–21.

Of course, I am kidding about thinking about becoming Muslim. The point I am obviously making is that Islam has the advantage of not holding to a pussified religion such as we often see among putatively Reformed clergy. (Their name is legion.)  The Reformed faith, characterized as it is by the militant amillennialism of R2K glories in defeat.

Keep also in mind that in order for R2K to work as a social order religion that allows people from all different faiths to live in a common realm that is unaffected by religion what is required is all other religions to have their own version of R2K. Read that Taliban quote again. Does it sound like Islam is ever going to put up with a common square?

Modern Reformed Christianity is the religion of a sick and dying people.

 

Sundry Observations On The Regnant Follies

1.) Per the Associated Press the Biden Administration is considering mandating Deep State virus quackzines for interstate travel.

This leaves us in the curious position wherein comparatively healthy American citizens would be restrained from traveling in America while strangers and aliens from points all across the third world are allowed to illegally enter into America with the potential of all kinds of STD’s, Bat scat viruses, and every other contaminant known to mankind.

2.) So a major Corporation (United Airlines) has mandated the quackzine for all employees. Now, the largest city in America (NYC) starting today is requiring quackzine passports.

How far behind can other Corporations and cities be?

3.) Well, the good news about Afghanistan is that unlike Korea and Vietnam American soldiers did not leave a large number of Amer-Afghani children behind. US soldiers now being LGBTQ no longer have the capacity to reproduce children wherever they go.

4.) “A Taliban automatic takeover is not a foregone conclusion.”

Four-Star General Mark Millie
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Speaking in a Press Conference Three short weeks ago

5.) In the almost 20 years that the American Empire ruled in Afghanistan did they ever press on the Afghani people what they press upon us here? Did the Empire press abortion upon Afghani women as they have pressed abortion on American women?

6.) Did the American Empire press upon the Afghani military Lesbian Generals? Did the American Empire press the policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” on the Afghani Military? Did the American Empire run military recruiting ads seeking to lure the daughters of Lesbian mothers into the US Military? All this the Empire as done here. Did the Empire do that in Afghanistan?

7.) Did the American Empire ruling Afghanistan ever form Lesbians for Allah chapters in the local mosques? Did the American Empire ruling in Afghanistan ever turn Afghani women into whores and Afghani men into cucks?

8.) Did the American Empire ruling Afghanistan ever delete the Afghani borders and then ship in millions of Africans looking for a better life?

9.) How many statues of famous Imams and Holy Prophets did the American Empire ruling Afghanistan allow to be torn down and desecrated?

5-9 forces me to conclude that the American Empire hates White Christian Americans more than they hate brown Muslim Afghanis. The occupation of Afghanistan by the American Globalist Empire was far more benign than the current occupation of America by the American Globalist Empire.

10.) The leadership of the visible church today thinks of itself as akin to the Judenrat during the Nazi era. The Judenrat of yesterday was appointed by the Nazis to be the mechanism by which the Nazis would rule the Jews. The Judenrat thus became kind of a glorified Judas goat. Although the modern Evangelical-Reformed leadership has not been literally appointed as the visible Church’s Judenrat that is the way they act. They are forcing on us the foulest policy of our enemy in order to save their own unconverted skins. They are more than glad to give up the faith of their rank and file just so long as they can hobnob with our current Tyrant ruling class. They are glad to shove us in intellectual ghettos as long as they can get one more article printed in the New York Times or Washington Post.

Keller, Sauls, Sean Michael Lucas, DeYoung, Ron Burns, J. Liggon Duncan, Matt Chandler, Piper, David Platt, Joe Carter, Russel Moore, Al Mohler, Mike Horton, R. Scott Clark, David Van Drunen etc. form our new Judenrat and they will sell Biblical Christians out every time.
