He must judge — in self-defence [Matthew 7]

Why do I say we must judge? Why do we need to discern? Can we not just tolerate all types of theology, worship any God, for we are all going to be saved?

No, because thoughts matter. What I have described above is Universalism: that all will be saved regardless of our actions: that atonement is not limited to those called by God. THat there will be no accountability, no judgement. That we are infants, and not moral agents.

There are variations of this: that the white race is evil, or the Jews, and we should hurry them to their waiting hell, or the male gender, or the rich, or the Islamic, or the stranger. These are forms of ideology, or tribalism.

And today I need to say to you that these things can be judged. You can look at the consequences of policies and actions and judge good or ill. You do not need to be a lawyer: in fact if your ethics is being adjudged by lawyers and judges then as a society you have fallen, for ethical judgement is the duty of all adults, as is not merely walking in the ways of the right and true, but teaching our children and the children in our neighbourhood.

But this, like all good things is difficult.

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

(Matthew 7:13-20 ESV)

There is tremendous opposition to the faith at present: one can say it has always been there, and in the last century those who worshipped Hegel divided into the Marxists with their militant atheism or Pagans with their worship of a Volk they made up. Both killed Christians, by the use of industrial techniques, in mass lots, until they ended up in a death struggle — the Eastern Front of WWII — and needed men of courage to fight. Then the Soviets allowed the Orthodox Church to pray, and the Nazis the Lutherans and Catholics of the confessing church.

And both systems failed. Both were evil: the Holocaust and the Gulag stand as their fruits, and the functional destruction of Prussia and Mitteleuropa was the consequence of their actions.

It is interesting that these are the parts of Europe that are resisting the forced acceptance of Islamic young men, who will not assimilate, but want to conquer. They have endured the Soviet yoke, and will not bow again.

That Christian Europe should die is the will of Satan. And he certainly has marshaled a large array of troops to do his bidding – the neopagans, the Jews, the Muslims, the barbarians of color, and the liberals are all arrayed against the last remnant of Europeans. But Satan has never understood the divine love. Christ cares about His people. In this, their greatest trial, He will not leave them defenseless. Driven to extremities they will finally let go of their ‘systems’ and find God. The great satanic error of the modern church men has been their belief that they can create a system that makes a deep, heartfelt faith unnecessary. Their belief in a religious system has made, in the church men’s eyes, individual people with hearts of flesh unnecessary. All that concerns the powers that be in organized Christianity, which has become organized Jewry, is human beings in the aggregate. “If white people no longer support our system, then we’ll cater to the Mexicans, the blacks, the Orientals, or even the Moslems. What is important is that the system survives.” But the true God is not concerned with numbers and systems. He cares about what is in the human heart. What He wants is hearts that respond to His heart. So we are back to the antique Europeans again. If we respond to their vision of Christ, which is the vision of the true God, we will be united to His sacred heart. That doesn’t guarantee we will triumph in this world. When has Christ ever promised that kind of triumph? But it does mean that we will fight for those we love, because He is in our people as we are in Him: “And there reigns love and all love’s loving parts…”

The incredible hatred for the Christ-bearing people who motivates the liberal, the neopagan, and the anti-Christian church men stems from the Caiaphas principle. Caiaphas knew there was something special about Christ; quite possibly he knew He was the Son of God. But if the true King, the Messiah, had really come into the world, what would happen to Caiaphas? Would the true King smash Caiaphas’s enemies and make his position of high priest even greater? Or would Christ do nothing against Caiaphas’s enemies other than tell them that they too could inherit eternal life? Caiaphas’s anger reached a satanic white heat when he realized that Christ had not come to set up a kingdom on earth for Caiaphas and his friends, He had come to provide eternal life, something a Sadducee had no need of, because he didn’t believe in any world but this world. Thus moral pariahs, with their visions of power in this world only, always have no place for the Son of God. Christ can only appeal to those who have reached the Shakespearean depths of life. Hamlet, Lear, and Cordelia all knew what it means to have a God whose “bosom is endeared with all hearts.” The colored savages, the Jews, the Jewish-minded neopagans, the power-mad, grasping, fawning church men, and the liberals do not.

At this time we must fight. There is much of Western Culture that is right and true and good and noble. There is much of Russian culture that is noble and righteous. The Germans may have turned neopagan and regressed, but produced Luther to Kant, and most of classical music was and is a German invention. The East has always been despotic (as has much of the Prussian empires) but produced the greatest novelists of any culture and Gorecki.

The way is indeed narrow, and our elite are opposed to it. But it has always been so. In better times, we overtly taught this. We need to do that again.
