Fighting the Four Evils

The very term 'patriarchy' evokes all kinds of negative feelings in modern society. For many in modern western society, particularly women, it is the most evil and worst dystopian nightmare possible. For others, it is seen as outdated and antiquated, but nevertheless viewed unfavourably. Yet for some acculturated in western culture, it is simply foreign but evoked not strong emotions. Either way, there is no concept of patriarchy in modern western society, and increasingly westernised countries all over the world. By contrast, patriarchy is seen as the norm in many cultures and societies, all over the world, including those that are successful in their own right. One striking observation to be made is that all successful civilisations are patriarchal, be it Greek, Roman, Chinese, Babylonian or Egyptian. Male authority in the family and in the Church, in the case of a Christian society, as well as in society generally, is the instituted order of God.  Without patriarchal aut...

Gender roles is one of the hottest topics in society today, and it certainly is a topic that some Christian circles are fixated on, to the point that their entire theology on based on the question of gender roles. While submission of the wife is an important doctrine and is not to be neglected (Ephesians 5:22-23), and indeed should be taught more, owing to the constant perversion of it to qualify this teaching, some have gone to the other extreme to misapply gender roles. This is itself wrong and must be addressed, for it is well understood in most church circles that a wife must submit to her husband. Most reasonable non-fundamentalist Christians, irrespective of denomination, acknowledge that a wife is obligated to submit to her husband as part of her obligations towards him. But gender roles go both ways, in that the husband also has his obligations towards her, and are far more complex than the literal text of Ephesians 5 than fundamental Christians make it out to mean in makin...

Many conservatives love to talk about marriage and family, assuming all manner of righteousness because they supposedly "value marriage and family" while those "evil liberals" do not. While it is true that western liberals despise these institutions of marriage and family, this does not automatically mean that conservatives "value marriage and family". These 'conservatives' who claim to "value marriage and family" do not truly value marriage and family, for those love such institutions for the wrong reasons. Instead, they idolise them, elevating them above God. While marriage and family must be respected, idolising them is evil. For idolatry is always evil (Exodus 20:3-5; Matthew 22:37; Luke 10:27).  'Marriage and family' heretics claim that marriage and family are mandatory for Salvation. They love to talk about how a person must first, be saved, second, get married as soon as possible (to prevent fornication, as if marri...

Many churches nowadays are constantly pushing people to get married and have families, largely as a response to the degeneracy of the decadent immorality of the culture around them, which despises marriage and family and perverts these institutions. However, this "marriage and family" agenda is based on many fundamental misconceptualisations of Scripture.  One key misconceptualisation is the view that people must marry to not be lonely, because of Genesis 2:18 which says: " And the  Lord  God said, “ It is  not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” These religious people in the professing Church are constantly quoting this to people who object to their view that all people must rush into marriage or else they are "cursed" for being unmarried. Such are absurd lies! What Genesis 2:18 really means is that God created woman to complement man so that humanity will be both male and female. God did not create humanity to ...

For fifteen centuries, the Church has taught that celibacy is the ideal life, based on a proper and clear understanding of Scripture. Yet, with the Protestant Reformation, this doctrine was reversed, and instead, marriage became the ideal. The idea that celibacy was ideal was scorned, and demonised, and marriage became elevated over celibacy. This idea has continued well into contemporary times where many Christians think that marriage is the ideal.  Marriage has now become the most serious concern of many if not most Christians, irrespective of 'denomination' precisely because of how the idea that celibacy is not ideal, even wrong or unnatural, while marriage is ideal has been propagated down the centuries. This minor issue has become a major issue, while major issues, such as the doctrines of the Trinity, theosis and Christian militancy have been shunned. Many professing Christians are not concerned with fighting evil, but only concerned about marriage and the earthly affai...

I received a revelation earlier this evening when I was taking my evening nap on Thursday 9 May 2019. It was about narcissism and its spiritual implications. I saw a vision where there was a reddish purple soft, squeezable egg-shaped object called the 'soul' that was being wrapped around by a cord. It was not a chain, but a rope. As it was almost completely being wrapped around, the egg-shaped object which represented the soul was then crushed. It cried out, and then the hand which crushed it stopped, only to wrap in around with the cord and crush it again. This same cycle continued to happen until infinity. The Lord told me that the cord represents the constraints that the spirit of narcissism imposes on the soul, and the crushing of the soul represents what the narcissist ultimately seeks to do: to crush a person. As the soul not only represents the person, but that a person is a soul, this crushing represents the crushing of person, to not simply diminish the person, or to s...
