The Liberationist Nobody Wanted

9:10 is a bold claim, I like it! It’s at least the most successful. Radicals may differ on it being the most egalitarian.

I don't hear them all but this is one of your best Paul.

For some insight into the Gaza situation, listen to the You Tube video on Vanessa Beeley channel, titled "Cynthia McKinney, Eva Bartlett, Vanessa Beeley- Understanding Gaza, under siege and under fire". Cynthia McKinney is a former U.S. Congress woman.

Maybe it's just neoliberalism that's the problem.
Always Monday morning quarterbacking the problems they created

SEXUAL REVOLTION MY ASS!!!!! Ben Franklin was the famous Lathario of his times. Tom Jefferson had Sally Hemmings as his "side piece" all the while he was doing the nominally Christian thing by having one official wife. Rhetorical smoke and mirrors.

You all keep claiming that ideas have led to all the changes , like divorce and pornography , hook-up culture etc. A cake takes all sorts of ingredients to bake……….and then their is the oven and the heat and the timer…………and the IDEAS are also a part of it……………..wedding cake?….birthday cake? Who gets a slice , who does not?

Men can't support a family ( the traditional way ) without a second income………..ever heard of free markets, Capitalism, technical innovation? Women are forced to work. In the 1800's we see photos of child laborers and women slaving away.

All the scientific factors that enter with Liberalism and Modernism have changed the ARENA. Shall we have laws that allow only men to drive cars? Pre-Moderns, the tradition they pine for, had no cars ………..do we do away with Modernist modes of transportation? The physical changes are as influential or maybe ten times moreso than the often touted "philosophical under-pinnings".

Porn follows the invention of Galileo's lenses. The the Camera. Then Tv. Mass communication. The home recorder……….all these things that make the Capitalist, competition-based hierarchy JBP encourages men to climb. As long as men < corporations, are making a killing NO PROBEM………….after we've wrecked our own markets and out of desperation more and more women take those Modernist tools to scrape a living in a dead economy THEY ARE THE WITCHES.

Not to mention that the entire TV Age had projected images of women that scream "All your value lies in your beauty and sexual desirability!"

But Adam will blame Eve, won't he?

Aside from all this man-o-sphere hand-wringing about the ills of liberated women………..you have a much greater faction who say "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" Simultaneously, millions of young boys want to emulate Andrew Tate with a harem ( of their free-will or held by terror…is another discussion ). Men want to have a high body count and move up the hierarchy of sexual dominance while demanding women be virginal and innocent.

Hey Preacher man!!! The world need s Jesus, why not preach Jesus …over being an IDW, Peterson cult, man-o-sphere apologist? I'm an s-hole, sue me.

Douthat, in your post from yesterday , minute 45, talks about the need to scrap the first Amendment, in order to achieve the crap he talks about, recovering Christin virtue etc. A so-called journalist ( opinion writer…..so , whatever ). calling for an end to FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. in order to defeat porn…..logical vomit. His claims like that are Putin's dream and that of all the authoritarians who imprison journalists for criticizing "the Dear Leaders" .

Their is no logical consistency here. Unless you look at the extremists we've been fighting in the Middle east. They have all the same concerns……..keeping women in their limited, surveilled spaces where God meant them to be.

People here have said it a million times. The net is a big brain. We are nodes in a network….we who participate in cyber-brain hook-up ( hook-up culture for nerds! ) . This is what a brain looks like when it's ill and diseased; what we are witnessing now. Like a mentally ill individual the net is a brain filled with a plethora of voices screaming, demanding, weeping, unrelenting. All in a state of perdition…..meaning truly lost………headed straight for Hell.

Things that piss me off recently in this corner………..always the same damn debate ….Has the sexual Liberation helped or hurt women? IT'S A TRAP.

Everybody wants kids to grow up in abundance and security…….two parents, no one is forcing others to accept anything different.

It eventuates into prohibitions on women. These talks sound more and more like Mullahs and jihadists demanding that restrictions be placed around women lesy society crumble. SOUNDS LIKE THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON.

G.W. Bush claimed 9-11 happened because they hated our freedoms. Now, people are crying "Too much freedom for women! Bring back tradition!"

Not even saying the impulses are wrong , wanting virtue, valuing tradition etc. But today trying to link these ideas and arguments to the world of 2023 is a category error. Like bring in Socrates and Ar9istotle to solve the inflation issue. A non sequitor.

C.S. Lewis said the problem is me. In online talk-world everyone wants a solution that is society-wide.

Atoms and the world. We smashed the atom ( a single ) and changed the world ( the universal ). Jihadists and zealots want to change the whole in order to preserve the single, individual in it's good, proper state. Or, make ALL women slaves to make them EACH good. This corner and all it's heroes sound more and more that way.

"We're probably in the middle of the trains liberation movement"
Er, no. We've finally got a strong majority seeing that this "liberation" has gone much too far. Now we're going to roll it back.

Note that GenX's "colorblind" strategy is probably going to be ultimately what carries the day with race relations; only awful strategies like anti-white racism and reparations (i.e., vengeance by those who were never wronged against those who did no wrong) are going to be rolled back, there.

What about people who have demonstrated that they are willing to take ruthless advantage of any compassion that they demand of you?

Liberalism, in pursuing freedom, looks as though it has the same properties of the atomic and sub-atomic worlds, the things that make up the universe we observe. When fully liberated, the parts and particles disperse, destroying the original forms and relationships of its created form, but not remain free, but be swallowed up next by something which displays a greater attractive force.
There are parts of the NT which describe radical transformation within the purpose of God. It’s depth is described as the elements melting and the earth and heavens passing away. We know this is a metaphor because elsewhere we read of creation rejoicing in the freedom from decay through the freedom brought to humanity being fully realised when Jesus returns and everything is put in its rightful place.

Wait a minute….wait a minute…..are you saying that if I'm being oppressed by other people, I CAN'T just grab my AK-47, my hand grenades, and my paraglider, and go reign holy hell on my oppressors and their children??? AND You want me to BLESS THEM instead??? How dare you! I'm going to have to file a complaint with St. Corrie Ten Boom about this….I'm sure she'll be on my side.

Of course, we Christians very conveniently leave off the events of 66-70 AD in Judea in our understanding of Christian history, when the Jews grabbed their metaphorical AK-47's, hand grenades, and paragliders, and TRIED to reign holy hell on the Romans. Oops! That didn't go well, did it? There's a reason why Judea got renamed Palestine soon after that. (I'm sure the Romans were guilty of multiple war crimes though…)

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

Could it possibly be that the Roman-Jewish wars were payback for the crucifixion of Jesus? It's worth considering.

You just had to bring up the Civil Rights movement didn't you??? My goodness, the Democrats have certainly been milking that for all it's worth these past 60 years. You would think that the Civil Rights Act had never been passed.

Why not the '94 Rwandan Genocide? Not a good example? How about using it as really good counter-example??? People really hate it when I bring that up that little rebellion in an argument, because it blows away a whole bunch of canned narratives we are told.

By the way, if you have not seen this yet, you need to as soon as possible, as it's about the American Civil Rights movement, from a man who was there…Bob Woodson. Absolutely excellent, especially the comments section.

Someone needs to tell Bob Woodson that the only APPROVED way to handle oppression is grabbing an AK-47, some hand grenades….

Imagine trying to save the world by being genuinely good people and doing good things for others, no matter who they might be. That silliness is not going to work here in 2023 is it? The only path forward is to acknowledge everyone's victim status, unless you are a white male, then you just need to cease to exist. Doing good is so 1950's. Get with the woke program people! We don't want to be judged by the content of our character, rather we choose to be judged by the color of our skin, or our sexual preferences, or our gender choice, or how well we can field strip an AK-47.

Oh well, it was a really good sermon anyway.

Hell NO! lol

At boarding school, the children holding US passports and our 4" tome of a history book gloried in the US Revolution which was seen as the best way to achieve liberation. Obviously PVK went to a different style of school. Some of us were considered to have a detestable, pitiable station in life by our teacher and the headmistress. My strategy was to try to become invisible.

It felt to me like this sermon was the culmination of much of your recent learning and thinking. Well done! Enjoy your travels. May God protect and strengthen you as you live out your call.

Very edifying. Thank you Pastor Paul.
