Do Your Homework Series: “Hegel is an Alchemist” and “Marx is a Gnostic” (Understanding Their Heretical ‘Confession of Faith’)

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Do Your Homework Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

I’ve learned a number of things today–being halfway through a three-part lecture series by James Lindsay. I’m pondering a number of these things to incorporate into other writings here, but for the moment I will share the three videos. I intend to keep listening as I work this evening and hopefully finish up the third. I paused to share this short post. I paused after the speaker stated that the original title to the Communist Manifesto was called “The Communist...

Do Your Homework Series: Fitch, Foucault, Rhor & Zahnd (And No, That is Not a Law Firm…)

March 15, 2024

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Do Your Homework Series, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

This piece will be in several sections and includes some of my explorations this past week and what I’ve been learning. Basically, I’m going to link information and commentary for those who deeply care about remaining in the arena of sound, biblical doctrine and avoiding associations and “discipleship/conversionship” by modern-day heretics and those in the Church bent on promoting a variety of deconstructionist ideas (of both a soteriological and political nature). I want to start by recommending the following talk...

The Salvation Army and “International Social Justice Commission”

December 9, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

I continue to raise awareness here of a growing convergence of “Church” and what I would name–at least for this piece–“Global Secular/Political World Governances and Agenda.”How is that for a mouthful? I just started listening to the podcast below, and feel it already warrants a brief intro and sharing here. Five minutes in and they have mentioned the “The Salvation Army International Social Justice Commission” and its representation at the United Nations. This season, let us become more aware where...

GLOO and AI–Can it Get More Horrifying?

December 5, 2023
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

If communism were to erupt and slowly unfold on our shores, what would be the primary obstacle to its adoption and flourishing? And what would facilitate its spread and potential for gradually increased control and censorship? The-Brick-and-Mortar-Church and the Historic Christian Faith would be the number one obstacle.And the Internet would be the easiest medium to slowly enforce censorship. Why are more Christians moving away from physical church attendance and embracing online forms of “church?” Who owns (and controls) the...

Manipulative Communication and Semantic Games: Preston Sprinkle’s Recent Podcast

December 2, 2023
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events

After finishing up my earlier blog piece from today (WHAT IS “CRU” AND WHY DID THEY “CANCEL” JOSH MCDOWELL?), another online resource popped up (which I quickly subscribed to after listening to the initial podcast) relating to Preston Sprinkle’s recent interactions with Pastor Jared Moore on his Theology in the Raw podcast. I have now found myself subscribing to this Wokepedia podcast on YouTube (it is related somehow to EWIC News Site–“Enemies Within the Church”), along with a number of...

What is “CRU” and Why Did They “Cancel” Josh McDowell?

December 1, 2023
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events

I recently was listening to some talks in which “CRU” kept being referred to–as though one should know the reference. A small amount of Googling revealed that CRU is the new name for Campus Crusade For Christ, and Wikipedia answered my secondary question of why/when did this take place: “In 2011, Campus Crusade for Christ changed its name to Cru. The name change was intended to avoid association with the word “crusade”, which can lead to offense, especially in Muslim countries....

Friendsgiving: The WOKE Virtue-Signaling Protest of the Traditional Family

November 22, 2023
/
Linguistics and Language Series, Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

The purpose of this piece is to raise awareness about linguistics and how new cultural practices form. It is my hope that if we can recognize the pattern, purpose and means of infiltrating ideologies and values in one specific context, then we can better recognize trending shifts–and that which is behind some innocuous-sounding changes–in other contexts and especially, in the Church. It is not my goal to pass judgement on whether you or someone you know engages in “Friendsgiving” of...

The Problem With Being ‘So So GRATEFUL’

November 21, 2023
/
Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

On any given day if we delve deeply enough, some millennial somewhere is tweeting, blogging or Insta-influencing some word salad about how they are “so so GRATEFUL.” What on earth might one find problematic with this, you might ask. Well, read on. But the short answer is, it is hypocrisy–plain and simple. Sure, there may be some exceptions to my general observation and formed beliefs on this matter. But if the idea of this seems new or foreign to you,...

Familial Generational Spirits: Vintage ~1994

Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I can still see the faces and odd behaviors of many of my siblings in Christ that night, when I showed up (with trepidation) to assess in person what was in the process of demolishing the Christian Community (as I knew it) that I had been part of for twelve years since I was an 18-year-old convert committed to following Jesus. My first husband and I were already on the brink of leaving, as were a large number of others....

The “Religious Doctrine” of ‘Holding Space’

June 3, 2023
/
Linguistics and Language Series, Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I think I probably began hearing phrases such as hold ‘space,’ give ‘space,’ make ‘space for‘–or that someone is not in ‘that space right now’ to hear such and such–probably somewhere around 2015. I enjoy language, and words that seem to create good mental images or articulate exactly what one wants to say intrigue me. At first, I thought the phrase innocuous, and even useful. But now, for various reasons, I intentionally avoid the phrase “hold space” as much as...
