There were two extremes that the Apostles warned about: Paul argued with the Judaizers while Peter and John argued with the Gnostics. For both had fundamental errors.
- The Judaizers wanted all Christians to become Jews and keep the Law. Because the Law was righteous. In short, Christianity was to be a Jewish subculture, and Moses was to be superior to Christ.
- The Gnostics considered that all that mattered was the soul, and that was saved: the body was to be held in contempt and the rules of man were fungible. One could do as one willed. That to have standards was to break the Law of Love. The parallels with the ethics of the modern Wiccan are obvious, but their ethics was stolen from the Stoics.
And Paul can be sarcastic. If you want Rabbinical logic, have some. Now choke on it.
Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written,
“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.”Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.
(Galatians 4:21-31 ESV)
The legalists are now aligned with the Gnostics. Roz Ward is a political homosexual. She is the author of the “Safe Spaces” campaign which is attempting to normalize gender fluidity in Australian schools. But she managed to break one of the rules… and got suspended. At that point she was defended by the great and good.
The IPA and the National Alliance for Public Universities (Napu) have also condemned La Trobe for moving against Ward, the cofounder of the controversial Safe Schools program and the author of a private Facebook post that described the Australian flag as “racist”.
Emeritus professor Jane Kenway, a fellow with the Australian Research Council and Academy of Social Sciences, said universities had “a moral and ethical purpose to defend intellectual freedom, and that means the university should be a safe space for brave speech”.

She said “a culture of fear” was developing within education and social research faculties as a result of the intense scrutiny of Ward and Safe Schools.
“People are afraid of putting their heads up for fear of losing funding, for fear of being disciplined by the institution, fearing they might be scapegoated in the way Roz has been,” she said.
La Trobe suspended Ward without pay on Wednesday, arguing she breached her employment conditions by undermining public confidence in Safe Schools, damaging its reputation and drawing colleagues into negative publicity around the program.
La Trobe has let her back. Because when the left points and shrieks, All must follow that narrative. It would be better to follow the Pharisees, for they at least loved their children, and their interpretation of the rules was more liberal.
I’ve grokked enough to realize they are essentially functioning psychopaths. We normies confuse them with our traditions and emotions and weird desires to form communities even if it way-laids our economic and productive potential.
Within the church, we should be honest with each other. We are broken. We are fallen. We all struggle with sins: for many of us that is desire, lust. We want that we should not have. e
A functional society knows this.
It encourages women to marry moderately young, using their second decade to prepare to manage a household. As Alte used to say, this is a defensive thing: by caring for the old and infants, and teaching children through primary and secondary school you can cut the familial expenses to the bone and live well with one adult working.
It also means that a man will hurry home to his wife, for she is feminine and beautiful, not bitter and exhausted. Such societies breed.
Roz Ward, however, is barren.
Her only way to influence the next generation is mimetic. By propaganda.
And sending children to a school where the pedobear has safe spaces is child abuse.
She will fail. And as such, she is a warning.
Pray that she repents. If she does not, do not be her. Do not be like her.
