This morning I was able to spend some time with my parents. They mentioned that one of their friends is Anglican, in the northern Waikato, and the bishop is virtue signalling. He as appointed a lesbian couple as priests. This was in the context of us discussing how the social justice warriors preach more and more effort for social equity, but the church empties.
His friend despairs, for he loves the Anglican liturgy, and finds his church converged and worshipping the god of the current year.
Then I turn to the scripture. Such has always been the way. The burden placed on the people by the clergy is more that htey people can bear, and more than God requires.
And I recall my commend to my Dad: that if there people are oppressed and there is not way forward, there will be rebellion.
Have you noticed that if you fail to do, think, and vote exactly the way that the liberals and their Fredocon minions demand, you’re a racist, sexist, homophobic, child molesting, greedy, NRA terrorist determined to murder kids? Yeah, you probably have. And you’ve probably also realized that if you do everything that the liberals and their Never Trump minions demand, you’re still a racist, sexist, homophobic, child molesting, greedy, NRA terrorist determined to murder kids.
When you understand that, you’re on your way to being conservative woke.
And when you’re conservative woke, you’re ready to deploy the most powerful non-bullet firing weapon in your liberty-loving arsenal – your devastating capability not to give a damn what the liberals and their Conservative, Inc., cruise-shilling Benedict Arnold buddies say.
Before I get to the text I will add something else. If you do the exact opposite of the narrative you will probably live a good life. . If you keep your world, treat a man as a person not according to his oppression score, be comfortable and realistic with your sex and understand the opposite one, have pride in your race and nation, keep your word and love your kids, you will be happy.
But you will be called names. The cure is to ignore them.
1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; 3therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach. 4They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. 5They do all their deeds to be seen by others; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. 6They love to have the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues, 7and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have people call them rabbi. 8But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students. 9And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father ? the one in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah. 11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.”
The way to deal with those who would kill the church, gut it, and then wear it as a skinsuit — like the lesbians who call themselves priests and demand fealty from the faithful remnant — is to ignore the title. We have but one Father, and that id God, one priest and that is Christ, and we are able to all lead our families as brothers.
This has one great advantage. When the priests become faithless or the enemy is appointed, the kingdom of God is reconfigure to work around them. We should not despair when the converged committees try to place a social activists in as a false priest or minister.
Do not be them. Do not follow them. Pray that they repent. And care not for the pains that they suffer. They have made a toxic bed. They can lie in it.
