Christianity Is An Uncompromising, Intolerant Religion

Christianity Is An Uncompromising, Intolerant Religion

Diametrically opposed to Christianity and God are the concepts of “Tolerance” and “Compromise” and “Pride”.

Many times I’ve heard well meaning so-called Christians often attempt to extoll the value of tolerating differences, being willing to compromise to come to agreements, and taking pride in one’s work/accomplishments.

However, they can and will in the next breath proclaim the Lord Jesus as the only way to be saved from eternal damnation in Hell where the wicked are tormented consciously for all existence for their refusal to obey God, and that this offer of grace unto salvation is something an individual cannot work to earn but rather must be accepted as a free gift by faith alone.

As a result, they unwittingly become liars who exemplify the inconsistency of their beliefs and prove to the world that only by turning off one’s frontal lobe can one be a person of faith in the Son of God. What is happening here to facilitate this doublethink?

Well, from the occult perspective, Magick only gains its power by the degree by which it blasphemes, and the Dark Lord in his perpetual war on the Logos and thus language itself, redefines bitter for sweet, evil for good, and vice for virtue.

As with all totalitarian regimes, utilizing linguistic sleight of hand is a prerequisite to the vaulted achievement of complete societal control.

Anybody with the most elementary ability to contemplate moral concepts understands doubtlessly that patience is a virtue, sacrifice is admirable, that beauty is attractive, that murder reprehensible, and that humility is blameless.

It is only by double-think that we can reach conclusions counter to this.

Therefore, the enemy of souls, knowing even much better than Stalin or Biden, must mobilize his own ministry of truth to actualize a new reality in his own image.

Tolerance replaces patience, compromise replaces sacrifice, murder replaces mercy, realism replaces beauty, and humility replaces pride.

Moreover, the last group thrown into the everlasting pit of fire are not the prideful, which we are always told falsely is the prince of sins, but rather the dishonest: all liars.

This is why hot off satan’s printing press is the diabolical concept of “white lies”: lies for the benefit of the deceived; charitable lies; lies that save rather than harm.

Deception replaces honesty.

In this way, each virtue is effectively neutered and whose impotence is the point.

With virtue now made into a eunuch, the propaganda ministry of pandemonium begins its surgical transition it towards its opposite.

Where patience once expected an arrival at a good end with an extended timescale, the crossdressed counterpart that is tolerance now uncomfortably accepts incongruity for an unlimited timescale.

Where sacrifice once brought a charitable one-sided payment towards a consensual unity that leaves both content, compromise presents itself as an open market towards a mere restless cooperation. 

Beauty used to whisper to us glimpses of God’s ceaselessly creative mind; now she screams at us about grounded realism in the face of a brutal and bloody darwinian contest.

Finally, humility has been shamed into obscurity through accusations of being too self-righteous and thus prideful, while pride is now honest and thus humble.

Then, when the suffering inflicted upon our souls becomes too great, it becomes merciful to murder.

For this level of linguistic alchemy, the wicked one is careful to greatly dress it up with painted eyes and lavish garments.

Terms are thus created from his factory of words, and born from from the assembly lines are “euthanasia”, “assisted suicide”, and “abortion”: a variety of flavors to appeal to the widest audience.

This society is one whose children are wisest and should teach the bigoted and ignorant parents, whose prostitutes have been successfully remarketed as adult film actresses, whose adulterers are branded now as marriage and sex counselors, and whose murders are called doctors.

There is no arguing with a lion, and sin is a couching at the door. Excorcists do not negotiate terms of surrender with demons, and a struggle session will never get someone back into the good graces of the motherland.

Christ and his church are hated because, like God, there is no toleration of evil.

Compromise is always unacceptable, and it costs Saul his throne and Solomon a united kingdom.

The Church of Thyatira will be left behind at the rapture to go into the great tribulation for her toleration of Jezebel, and the Christians who turn back to the law to finish their sanctification by the flesh will be under its curse.

Compromise and toleration are the modus operandi of sin.

Pride is its wax seal.

Lies are its deliverer.

What a Christian ought to pursue is true virtue, not its counterfeit masquerading itself.

Instead of negotiating a compromise, the pursuit should be as leaders or obedient servants.

Be willing to sacrifice liberty or advantage for others, or ready to take charge to lead others where they are weak with fear and trembling before God.

A ceaseless endurance of sin or evil of any size is never acceptable, no matter how small.

Often, confusion between long-suffering patience for tolerance is promulgated, but it is imperative to distinguish to ourselves and others the unacceptability of sin and its only temporary endurance.

God will not strive with man forever, and neither can those in whom God indwells. 

Another trap is that humility is not thinking less of oneself but rather of oneself less.

Someone can be very prideful and think they are the worst of all sinners, just as someone can be humble and think likewise.

Downplaying one’s own skills and advantages is often rooted in pride as one flees the temptation to find self-esteem (a euphemism for pride) in the typical dedication it took to achieve them.

Instead, we should accept those attribute of ourselves as merely what they are in themselves, and praise God that he managed to form that into us despite ourselves.

Honesty is what produces humility, and being dishonest with one’s own abilities is pride whether they are impressive or lackluster. 

Finally and most important: Christians worship the Truth, the literal metaphysical object that is the Truth; that object is that personal, is deity in the ontological sense, and is the essence of language and epistemology.

The same became human flesh so that it could die on a cross for the sake of all mankind.

They have no authority to compromise from it, tolerate deviation from it, or outright lie about it in any capacity for any reason.

There is no justification for sin.

You cannot sit at the table of God and of devils, nor can those who speak the devil’s language proclaim God’s word.

The tongue is untamable, for from it is cursing and blessings.

Therefore, be Holy as he is Holy. Christ gave the standing order to no be deceived, therefore do not be part of the problem. 

Let he who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Two Measures Foolish: Foolish to God for we sin – Foolish to the world for the cross.

God Retakes His Throne

God Retakes His Throne

God Retakes His Throne

The most scandalous belief in all of Christianity is that of the incarnation: that God would decide to take on flesh and live the human life common to mankind.

It is not lost of Christian’s how outlandish, almost preposterous, the belief sounds. It has been the criticism of orthodoxy since the very beginning, and it’s this very claim that caused the crucifixion in the first place.

Muslims, for example, leverage this attack upon Christians often by claiming that Christian’s have abandoned God’s transcendence and indivisibility. However, Christians reject this criticism by virtue of God’s simplicity and personality. 

For example, a sphere is an astoundingly simple geometric shape.

It is as homogenous as a shape can be, yet it still nonetheless possesses 3 spatial dimensions. Analogously, God exists possessing 3 persons that, like length, width, and height, are all co-equal.

However, the 3 spatial dimensions are not actually independent “things”, like a platonist might argue, but rather are our descriptions for the dimensional differentiation that exists within the homogenous and unchanging space they describe.

Nonetheless, length is still distinct from height or width in its descriptive power even if it is referring to the same essence of space as the latter two. Similarly, The Father and The Son are different expressions of the multi-personal divine essence that is God. And, since God is personal rather than geometric, the expressions of his divine essence are likewise personal and distinct while sharing in that divine essence. This is the doctrine of Consubstantiality in a nutshell.

Now it would be a denial of God’s immutability to claim that God became man in the sense that we typically imagine becoming.

Rather, it is the Christian assertion not that God put up his divine hat one day and decided to retire on the planet he created, but rather that God put on flesh while unchangingly remaining God.

More specifically, that one of the persons of the divine essence decided to live as a human being.

I will spare you the long church history of debate and the ecumenical councils that arose as a result and remind you that this is partly still a mystery to me–grasping higher dimensions is a difficult skill when we are talking about only mathematics, let alone the creator of the universe.

 

However, I would like to at least posit one reconciliation: that of neo-apollinarianism. 

Normal Apollinarianism is a heresy that argued that when the Logos, the Son, incarnated, Jesus possessed a human body, but that the human mind was replaced by the Logos.

However, this means Jesus was not fully man and thus denies the humanity of Christ.

Neo-apollinarianism, however, is a Christological model proposed by Dr William Lane Craig that argues that within the Logos are the components of humanity that allow the mind of the Logos to indwell the human body while maintaining the entire humanity of the person of Jesus.

He appeals to our having been made in the image of God, and thus the Logos’s personage can be conceived to be that of the archetypal man.

A way to perhaps understand this would be the difference between a working copy and an original. The working copy is degraded, used, written upon, ect., but the original is untouched, unchanged, and still holds all of its original meaning.

In the same way, God’s decision to make man in His image and likeness intrinsically facilitates the incarnation.

However, I heard a more recent objection to the incarnation by my Jewish mother.

It was not a theological or philosophical objection like I typically hear, but rather one that concerned motivation and ultimately legality: if God has appeared as a man in the past to Abraham before Sodom’s destruction, to Jacob when he wrestled til morning, or even when Moses when he asked to see Him, then why be born of a woman like Christians claim?

Surely an omnipotent God that wished to rule as a man like Christians claim could come down any time he wants, wave his hand in some displays of power, and then sit upon his throne uncontended.

He’s come in similar ways before, so why Jesus?

If all else was accepted, why should we accept that a perfect, Holy God would choose to endure the humiliation of human life in all of its ugliness. 

My first thought was: “How Jewish of an objection!”.

And I completely understand: Jesus had to be breastfed when he ate, he had to have his butt wiped when he defecated, he had to program his brain to learn to walk, and he had to endure the failure of his flesh when it would get tired and exhausted.

Surely the LORD of all creation need not take such a roundabout method to incarnate.

This is a really good contention, and one that I find particularly fascinating.

There is much to be said concerning atonement and salvation and the requirement of Jesus’s hypostatic union, but I would only get lost in the weeds getting into those discussions as there is a gap between Jewish and Christian understandings of sin and atonement.

If we accepted the plausibility of all Christian metaphysical claims about God, at the end of the day, why can’t God just take his throne?

Well, I responded, because the Jews rejected him as king!

No, not when Christ walked the shores of Galilee, but all the way back in Judges before Israel ever had a King: 

“And the Lord said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.” (1 Samuel 8:7,  ESV).

Israel in its desire to be like the other nations dethroned God Himself, however even though God in his grace and mercy granted the request, God desires to rule over His people.

Thus, God promised to king David:

“When your days are fulfilled to walk with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you, but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.’” (1 Chronicles 17:11–14, ESV)

The Throne of David is to last forever and to be occupied by one of his offspring forever–an eternal dynasty.

This passage right here is the legal reason Jesus had to be born of a woman, because it was by birth that a King is given his throne.

In order to possess the birthright he promised to David;s line and fulfill his promise to the beloved King while also taking back His own throne, God thus had to be born in David’s line.

The only way this could happen is if He not only appeared as man once again, but appeared as the smallest and most humble form of man: an infant baby born of a woman.

With this plan, God is again King and Israel gets a human leader like the other nations. 

Everybody wins.

Bridge Between Judaism and Christianity

Bridge Between Judaism and Christianity

Bridge Between Judaism and Christianity

Guest Blog by Lynwood Johnson

Many Messianic see our movement as a bridge between Judaism and Christianity.

To the Jews, we’re advocates of their own ‘favorite son,’ (though only a small minority of Jews now recognize that) who now reigns as their – and our – great High Priest who Himself was their – and our – Perfect Sacrifice who removes the sins of all who trust Him w their lives and eternity.

On the other shore we’re a place for many believers who have a (Spirit induced?) disquiet that has led them out on a search in the belief there is much more to their Christian faith than what they are hearing where they’ve been attending.

They say when they find our place, they are Amazed!  They start seeing a deeper texture in the Jewish heritage that’s so foundational to almost every NT event.

They learn from Messianic Jew (the apostle Paul) in Romans 11, that the future of Jews and Christians is inextricably bound together.

They learn that “the  Church is the New Israel, and God’s promises no longer apply to the nation of Israel any more, but to the Church”  is not only not supported Biblically,  but in fact heresy.

(Look up Supersessionism to learn more)

In short, it’s the heresy that the Church has superseded Israel.  Also known as ‘replacement theology.’

Not Another Fish In the Sea

Not Another Fish In the Sea

Not Another Fish In The Sea

I have had an ongoing fish tank for the better part of 3 years.

It has been a very interesting journey of stewardship as this fish tank has gone through ups and downs in its history, generations of fish coming and going.

Recently, however, the switch that controls the power source of my fish tank accidentally disconnected.

This meant that the filters, the light, and the automatic filter all ceased to function.

What this caused was a massive near-extinction event of the population in my tank as nearly all my fish died.

This left only a handful of guppies left, my proverbial Adams and Eves, by which to restart my tank after giving it some TLC.

Nothing to restart my tank but 2 young pairs of guppies in a glass bowl on my table until I restored the tank to livable conditions.

I am in charge of their world.

Bring them food.

I defined the times they have light.

Laid the soil that brings nutrients to their plants.

I provide for them.

By removing my provision for the tank, most perished as the tank decayed.

Our world likewise is having the majority perishing, however the removal of provision from this world is not by the accidental flipping of a switch like in the case of my tank.

In our world, it is judicial as mankind dives further into his sin, making it evermore like the days of Noah.

This period of time is heavily documented, more than the time that Jesus walked the shores of Galilee.

Those who are saved will not go through this period of time; instead they will be like the survivors of my fish tank, resting safely away from the tank as it is sifted clean.

This sifting, the Day of the Lord, the Time of Jacob’s trouble, this Great Tribulation is not a mere warning or threat.

We are going into darker times, and our world is experiencing changes and technologies that will change everything about life (more than even the last 100 years).

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened (Matthew 24:22, KJV)

But why would it be that the elect should care if those days not be shortened?

For the same reason that the days of my fish tank were shortened when, nearing certain death, those who were still alive were taken up and out.

God is intervening.

However, God didn’t set up a clockwork universe that is slowing losing its momentum.

No, God set up a paradise and then, unlike me who accidentally doomed a fish tank, cursed mankind’s world when Adam sinned.

God then intervened to save some from the certain death of his world through the patriarchs down to Moses, then Moses to Christ who died on the cross for our sins.

There was the first Adam and the second Adam.

While the first brought death to the entire world, the second brought life.

It is Jesus Christ, preeminent in all things, who brings salvation and judgement to the world.

To Him all will bow and confess, whether they like it or not. Unlike my fish, we are not some frustratingly replicable pet.

God knows each and every one of us by name, and he calls his own to him.

And he asks the very simple question:

Do you want to be in the decaying tank or in the bowl outside?

Crucial Relationship of Life

Crucial Relationship of Life

Crucial Relationship of Life

Guest Writer Alan Tai

Your most important relationships in life should be to whom you were from and to whom you will be with.

When you extend your life’s time span to your beginning on earth, and assume the biological consideration of the relationships to whom you were from, they were your parents!

Life is more than just biological aspect, there are also psychological and spiritual aspects.

Based on the revelation of the Scripture, I use a “Roadmap of Life’s Relationships” to share the four crucial relationships that not only can affect your life on earth but also the future life after your human life end on earth.

On the other dimension, beside the physical dimensions, there are spiritual considerations of the relationships with God, from whom your origin came.

Using a computer as an analogy to the biological and physical body of a human being, the body appears to be the hardware part only.

The body needs the software or the soul to function and behave as a human being.

The soul needs a lot of nourishment, education, learning, experiencing, and interacting with others to build even more relationships.

However, the source of the origin of your relationship is more than only the biological consideration.

Your spiritual relationship began with God, from whom you were created in the image of God (Genesis 1: 27 -28).

As described in the Scripture, God breath the breath (Spirit) of Life into Human (Genesis 2: 7), the best in His creation!

Roadmap of Life’s Relationships

Any serious relations can experience up and down. The most crucial relationship are with the Creator! We will have peace and joy when Christ became the center of our life relationships.

1) Creation: Beginning Relation

Relationship with God: Human Life was created in the image of God. God breath the breath (Spirit) of Life into Human, resulted in the best of His creation!

2) Fall: Judgement Relation

Broken Relationship: Law center Life under Judgement of God for sin in disobeying God’s Word.

Sin is like a spiritual virus that deceives and corrupt human life.

3) Redemption: Love Relation

Recovery Relationship: God’s Love in Christ to Sacrifice His Life in the Cross so that Christ gives His resurrected new Life to whoever receives Him.

Christ is like the spiritual vaccine/antibody that gives immunity to the power of sin.

4) New Creation: Forever Relation

Glorify Relationship: Kingdom of God with Christ center Life.

Christ’s Spirit and Word guild us to the Way, Truth and Life according to God’s purpose of creating Human in His image!

 1  Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name (Jesus Christ), he gave the right to become children of God—  children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1: 12 – 14)
