All Are Under Sin

The claim that’s been coming out that it’s white Antifa people alone stoking the fire and driving otherwise presumably innocent black kids to violence is a myth. Antifa itself is a mixed race group. Plus, BLM hasn’t been merely peaceful in all places. Video we have shows all ages and races involved in the violence. And yet this claim has even been coming from black conservatives. It simply shows how deeply ingrained Cultural Marxism is. The answer is the doctrine of original sin. We are all guilty of our own sins. We are volitional creatures. We make our own decisions consciously, and are responsible for what we as individuals do. While black Americans have suffered, they have also cultivated, for a long time, a culture of anger and hatred. And Antifa or no, the events of the past few nights are an expression of that.

Black, white, whoever and whatever their backgrounds may be - our country is in moral and spiritual chaos.

Vox Ultima Crucis

TARYE no lenger; toward thyn heritage
Hast on thy weye, and be of ryght good chere.
Go eche day onward on thy pylgrymage;
Thynke howe short tyme thou hast abyden here.
Thy place is bygged above the sterres clere,         
Noon erthly palys wrought in so statly wyse.
Come on, my frend, my brother most entere!
For the I offered my blood in sacryfice.

-- John Lydgate

On Conspiracy Theories (Wicked Men Do Conspire)

“Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
‘Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.’”
Scripture clearly testifies to the fact that men in power often collude together for a single, wicked cause, no matter how disparate their own varied end goals and personal benefits may be.
The Gospels themselves give us behind-the-scenes details of the conspiracy against our Lord. The wicked men doing the conspiring had an inside man, and they paid him off with thirty pieces of silver.
Our Lord cried out “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Ignorance, or stupidity, and sin are not pitted against each other in Scripture the way we might be tempted to do. “(F)ormerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,” the apostle Paul said.

Ever the Erastians

I appreciate the president saying that church services are “essential”. But that isn’t the call of the State. And it’s May 23rd, we’ve gone through two months of lockdown mode, states are already opening back up, and the virus is subsiding. Truth be told, this was a political move. We might as well be honest about it. And this reaction we have of thanking and praising the almighty god of the State for granting us permission to worship another God publicly is disturbing. This would be true if this were coming from the president, a governor, or anybody who may be in a position of authority. It shows us how off we really are in our understanding of the government and its role, and where our real focus and priorities lie. As always, our fundamental problems are spiritual.

Dealing with the Nazis Running Fascistbook

Back at it after a three day suspension from Fascistbook, for posting a picture of an SS trooper with the words “Do you have what it takes to be a contact tracer?” I’m going to guess it was the woman who is a member of the terrorist organization the Muslim Brotherhood and who sits on Fascistbook’s Ministry of Information board who flagged the meme, or one of her associates. I’m sure she spends her nights sifting through the pages herself. Or Fascistbook’s algorithm can’t identify humor, like the Left in general. Either way, irony duly noted.


”We don’t allow symbols, praise or support of dangerous individuals or organizations on Facebook.” See aforementioned irony. And check out the FB pages for Antifa and Planned Parenthood while you’re at it.

In light of my two recent suspensions, let me make myself clear. Those who report their neighbors to the State for leaving their homes in accordance with their freedoms given by God and recognized by the Constitution, and those who are “contact tracers”, are in no way like those who turned in their neighbors for hiding Jews during the Holocaust, no matter how striking and numerous the similarities between the groups.


Fascistbook banning images of the Third Reich is in no way like the Chinese Communist Party hiding images of Tiananmen Square from its people. Not one bit.


There are also no similarities between the Nazis and the current Communist Chinese government that has every major corporation in the world by the throat, including Fascistbook, despite the same foundational philosophy, methodology, end goals, and fashion sense.


I also have never, ever been known for my sarcasm. Honest Native American.


But the Lord sees all and knows all, and will judge righteously in the end. Which will really stink for the other team.
