Wherein Doug Wilson Goes All…. “Hey; Some sweJ Make Great Neighbors”

Today our favorite wordsmith penned a column titled; “Affection for Israel as Biblical Requirement.”

I must admit that Doug Wilson has an ability like few others to awaken Iron Ink from its dogmatic slumbers. Wilson has that ability to just make me slap my forehead and say … WTF? (What the facsimile?)

“Talmudic Judaism really was a distortion of God’s Word, but you can’t really draw a straight line from that to various modern ills like communism, environmentalism, globalism, and the like. A number of Jews went that direction, sure enough, but some other Jews went on to carve a cure for cancer out of a bar of soap, which made all the anti-Semites even more irritated. In other words, the Jews are a high performance people, and so when they are bad, they are really bad, but enough about the Frankfurt School, and when they are good, they are really good.”

Doug Wilson

1) Notice the craftiness and word wizardry of Wilson. Elsewhere in this column Doug will pen that being weJ has never been about blood but about covenant. Now, here there is a switcharoo because here sweJ are a high performance “people.” However, if one is a weJ, per Doug, only because of covenant and not because of blood, then how can we characterized sweJ as being a ethnic group of people who are by nature “high performance?”

2.) Can it really be said, when looking at the preponderance of historical evidence that sweJ (though what it is to be weJ is really up in the air given Wilson’s linguistic legerdemain) have been an equal blessing to Christians as they have been a curse? Is there no reason why Christians nations have over 100 times cast the weJ out of their countries? Is Wilson denying all the Medieval Church history that consistently found Mother Church in mortal combat with the sweJ?

Doug is putting his thumb on the scales here to suggest that “yeah, some sweJ have been real bad guys but there have been other sweJ who were really good guys so it all washes out in the laundry.”

Read your history. See the ongoing conflict between those whom Jesus called “a brood of vipers” (and what else is a brood of vipers but the seed of the serpent) vis-a-vis the Christian Church — sometimes referred to as the seed of the woman.

File Under: And another thing;

“One last thing. It is often said that Ashkenazi sweJ are not sweJ at all, and that there is not a drop of Abraham’s blood in their veins. And so it is maintained that this is all a lot of fuss and bother over a bunch of nothing. “A gift is not irrevocable if it was never given.” This overlooks the fact that being a weJ was always about covenant, and not about DNA…. Ashkenazi and Sephardic sweJ are sweJ by covenant. And because they are sweJ by covenant, it will be a piece of cake for God to graft them into the olive tree again.”

Doug Wilson

1.) Has Doug ever read Romans 9:3. Apparently no one told the Holy Spirit as he inspired St. Paul that that “being a Jew was always about covenant, and not about DNA.”

For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my KINSMEN ACCORDING TO THE FLESH.

2.) For the sake of argument assuming that Ashkenazi are originally Khazars and so not really blood sweJ, how can Ashkenazi non sweJ be disobedient Talmudic sweJ by covenant (and God certainly didn’t make a covenant with non racial Talmudic sweJ) if neither the original sweJ that covenant was made with were Talmudic nor the original Ashkenazi people didn’t embrace Talmudic Judaism until the 8th-9th century? How can a people in no way related by blood to the sweJ nor by related by covenant as seen in their identity as Talmudic sweJ be considered sweJ?

Doug, like Tolkien’s Saruman is losing his ability to cast a spell that people can’t see through.

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA CONFERENCE ON CHURCH AND STATE A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT

It is not only in the States where the Reformed Church is absolutely cucked by errant Church and State thinking. Here Dr. Adi Schlebusch reports that South Africa has the same problem of being Anabaptistized on the issue of Church and State.

24 August 2022

All three lectures held during this week’s conference on church and state held by the Reformed Church East-Moot was a major disappointment. The first speaker, Erik van Alten from the Free Reformed Church Pretoria went on about how damaging the narrow relationship between church and state as found in the symbiotic practice of Eastern Orthodoxy is. He criticizes the “symphonic” relationship between church and state, especially in Russia, as a step away from the ideal of “a secular constitution, which in principle leaves room for any religion.” Van Alten then also most peculiarly succeeds to deconstruct and re-interpret article 36 of the Belgic Confession in such a way that he would have it imply that civil government should allow complete freedom of religious practice. For him, the idea of restricting any false religious practices “cannot be found in Scripture.” One can only wonder what Bible Van Alten reads, or rather, doesn’t read, in order to come to this conclusion.

Given the zealotic mood of Van Alten’s lecture, its most predictable part by far was the apartheid-cliché with which he concluded. He noted that while Eastern Orthodox countries “might seem far away to us … I wonder if this is truly that far away.” And so right there he concludes his lecture by showing off his woke-credentials in getting in a few more kicks to the stomach of the dead horse that is apartheid. Moreover, anyone who, in 2022 still refers to the ANC-regime as “this new dispensation” lives a life separated from reality.

Dr Victor d’Assonville junior remarkably managed to spend quite a large chunk of his lecture lamenting how little time he has to discuss his subject “Calvin on Church and Civil Government.” Given his experience as public speaker, this can only be attributed to his desire to say as little as possible on a reformer to whom he wants to appeal for legitimacy, but without having to go into any details about the practical implications of his ideas. D’Assonville does mention that Calvin believed that government has the duty to uphold the ten commandments, but only mentions this as a brief comment, immediately adding that he has received a lot of criticism for this fact from those that d’Assonville wrongly describes as “Reformed theologians.” Towards the end of his lecture he even goes as far as to ascribe the Enlightenment heresy of egalitarianism to Calvin as well as its accompanying idea of social justice—something which Christian philosophers have repeatedly shown to be completely at odds with Biblical justice. None of his claims are backed up by primary sources.

As expected, dr Gerhard Meijer from the Reformed Church East-Moot emphasized his denomination’s revision of article 36 of the Belgic Confession so that fighting idolatry would not be understood as the duty of civil government, but only the result of its protection of the church. What he fails to mention is of course the fact that there are many denominations in which this article has not been revised.

The most shocking part of the entire conference, however, was when Meijer had to answer a question relating to the forced closure of church services during the lockdown. He answered:

“If the authorities stopped services. Well, I don’t know if that is the question. The authorities did say that there is a serious disease and that we should be careful. But I don’t know if government ever said that people are not allowed to hold services. This isn’t written in any law … I don’t think one can jump from health regulations to conclude that this is a ban on church services.”

This is nothing short of a blatant, outright lie. If Meijer’s elders are worth their salt, they should immediately start the process of disciplining him. During the French Revolution Christians were murdered in the name of public safety. During the Russian Revolution Christians were murdered in the name of equality and justice. It is utterly absurd for Meijer to claim that policies are not tyrannical on the basis of the narrative justification of tyranny on the part of the tyrannical government itself.

At the end of the conference all three speakers re-iterated that they support the idea of complete religious freedom—something that is at odds with both Scripture and the Reformed Confessions. While the renewed interest in this topic is encouraging, it remains immensely disappointing that Reformed scholars such as Van Alten, d’Assonville and Meijer clearly identifies with a humanist approach to the relationship between church and state.

The Pactum Institute strongly condemns this humanist perspective as at odds with Christian orthodoxy and as a view which inevitably leads to the divination of the state. RJ Rushdoony rightly describes the heresy promoted during this conference as follows:

The Enlightenment shifted the center of interest from God to man, and from the Church to the State … Man was now the measure of all things, and it was man’s will that needed to be done … Enlightenment humanism began with the ‘moral baggage’ of its context, Christendom, but, in practice, it steadily stripped off all morality in favor of self-enjoyment. At the same time, being at war with God, profanation became a prized pleasure … One of the quiet goals of the Enlightenment was the disestablishment of Churches and of Christianity… A first step in this process of disestablishment was to reduce Christianity to an option for man, a matter of choice, not of necessity. The realm of necessity was held to be the civil government. Freedom came to mean deliverance from the Church to the State, from supernatural mandates and laws to ‘natural’ and statist laws. The Reformation had said plainly that Biblical faith requires belief in God’s predestination, in God’s sovereign choice… This was reversed by the Enlightenment, and then by Arminianism. Sovereign choice was transferred to man. Man, it was held, has the option to choose God or reject Him, to declare God to be elect or non-elect.[1]

Wherein R2K and a certain Austrian Corporal Agree.

“The war will run its course, and then I will see it as my life’s work to sort out the problem with the Churches. Only then will the German nation be safe. I do not care in the slightest about articles of faith, but I’m not having clerics sticking their noses in worldly affairs. This organised lie has to be broken in such a way that the state becomes the absolute master.”
 Adolph Hitler

German Chancellor on December 13, 1941

1.) There are those who try to style Hitler out to be some kind of Christian and/or hero that we should really admire since he stood up against the Bolsheviks. We can certainly admit that the evil of Hitler was to be preferred to the evil of Stalin and maybe even the evil of FDR and Churchill but to say that Hitler was “Christian” or a “Hero” is just nonsense. The man says here, “I do not care in the slightest about the articles of faith.” To not care in the slightest about the articles of faith makes one a anti-Christ.  Hitler was nobody for Christians to esteem and the last thing we want is any form of German National Socialism to be resurrected anywhere in the West. Did you see the word “Socialism?”

Of course my convictions run deep here because a German National Socialism policy here would mean the required murder of my Cerebral Palsy Grand-daughter by the National Socialist State.

2.) If a modern Hitler showed up at Westminster-Cal. @ Escondido and said in a chapel service; “I’m not having clerics sticking their noses in worldly affairs,” the chapel may well collapse from the resounding reverberations from the Amens coming from the faculty. A modern Hitler is just the kind of Magistrate that the R2K chaps could get behind.

3.) Another reason we see to eschew those who want to praise Hitler is the fact that he says here that the state is to be the absolute Master. Typical Fascism. Everything inside the State. Nothing outside the State. Biblical Christians worth their salt want nothing to do with that kind of mindset. Biblical Christians do not concur that the State is to be the absolute Master. Biblical Christians insist that God has ordained different jurisdictions of authority where sovereignty is entrusted to different covenantal heads as that sovereignty is handled consistent with God’s revealed Law-Word. Magistrates handle swords. Fathers handle rods. Pastors/Elders handle keys. The state is not the absolute Master.

You want to be R2K? Then live with the idea that should a Hitler come along with this mindset you are his lackeys.

Presuppositions of the New Post-Christian Morality;

“The new post-Christian morality is manifested in every aspect of the WASP lives. We don’t protect our borders because the stranger is purer and better than our own people. And since the alien is better than the white citizens, he is allowed to murder, rape, and steal when he enters his new country. In my own anti-nation called the United States of America (it should be called the United States of Satan) elderly white people — I meet them all the time — cannot afford to pay for their health care unless they increase their incomes by applying for the welfare benefits that the aliens receive. But the older whites won’t apply for welfare because they don’t want to be a drain on their nation’s resources. The liberal Jacobins depend on the innate honor of the white people that they have sworn to exterminate. There is no reasoning with such monsters of the deep, who hate their own with the passionate hatred of their satanic master. From out of the depths, the depths of a WASP heart, we respond to the liberals’ satanic universalism of hate with a love of our own people, the people of our familial hearth fire. And surely that love will teach us to hate where we ought to hate and fight without ceasing against the liberals who hate their own in the name of a universalist theology forged in hell. Our short mortal lives will count for nothing if we don’t practice the charity that begins at home.”

R. Franklin Edisto

Presuppositions of the New Post-Christian WOKE Morality;

1. All evil and suffering comes from environmental factors.

This is contrary to Biblical Christianity which teaches as from Scripture that evil and suffering come not from environmental factors but are the consequence of man having a sinful nature. The idea that the environment is man’s problem was the position of the arch-heretic Pelagius against which Augustine so manfully battled.

2. The third world cultures and peoples are full of such.

The problem with the third world is most definitely not their refusal to own that their evil arises from a sin nature. Instead, per WOKENESS the third world with its minority populations have been held back by environmental factors impressed upon them by the evil white man.

3. Evil perpetuates evil

Nothing can change in the third world as long as the environment remains unchanged. Men will not and can not change without a change of the environment. The evil example must be removed.

4. What we did to them in the past caused this evil.

The White man is the one who is responsible for the evil in the third world since it is the White man who via colonialism and missionary efforts created the evil environment that explains the evil and suffering of the third world.

5. We must thus not do what we did in the past, no matter the cost or the seeming sanity thereof. We must break the loop.

This means we must commit ethno-national suicide in order to atone for our past “sins.” Breaking the loop means the disappearance of borders, the extinction of previously white/European nations, and the forced transfer of wealth from the industrious white man to the comparatively supine cultural Marxist inspired minority.

6. When they do evil, it’s our fault, as we have created Frankenstein’s monster.

All of this creates a “noble savage” reality where minorities can do no wrong that is not the fault of the evil white man. Like the white woman charity worker in Haiti who was gang raped by Haitians concluding that it was the oppression by white people that drove the rage of her rapists so the WOKE post-Christian white man insists that all evil of minorities inflicted against him is the consequence of the post-Christian white man’s previous evil. A kind of conviction that karma is what is happening has infected the post-Christian white man’s thinking.

7. We can be the atonement as whites. We can recycle the suffering of Jesus incarnation in the white race so that that in being torn apart a better way is thus taught and modeled for the minority population.

Just as Jesus sufferings brought atonement to the elect so the sufferings of the white man can bring about atonement both for the past sins of the white man and for the present evil and suffering of minorities. Therefore the white man must die so that the minority population might live and find atonement and release from sin. The White man becomes the new Jesus providing an atonement for the suffering of untold millions of suffering and miserable minorities — a suffering a misery brought on by the white man’s historic “sins” against minorities.

8. Because there are no differences in people, there is hope. Whites were converted by the moral appeal of Christianity, so these third worlders will see our living example and convert.

One day all men will live in peace and harmony because the white WOKE man with his post-Christian morality laid down his racial life so that minorities might live and convert to Woke-tianity.

9. This is the WOKE version of Christianity, a different ethic of love that is torn apart by the whirling wheel of the world, and yet in happily dying changes the world for the better by the witness of this WOKE martyrdom.

Only by dying and going into extinction can the white man bring the blessings of peace, harmony, and understanding to the anticipated Utopian world. This WOKE form of Christianity thus becomes a suicidal death cult for the white race attended with the conviction that as a consequence the world will be healed by the sin inflicted upon it by the original sin that was and has been the existence of white people.

10. The white race must be martyred in passivity to win the world to Christ.

The only possible alternative to this is that the white race instead of being martyred become a slave class — hewers of wood and drawers of water — and only that if their numbers are kept severely reduced.
