Fighting the Four Evils

This is an excellent summary of Church history in the reformation era by Ted Shoebat . The death of Christendom was capitalised upon by profit-orientated merchants to bring in a mammonised financial system, all under the guise of 'industry': With the decline of Christendom came the rise of industrialism. Profit was put on a pedestal at the expense of virtuous valor. Hence, in the 16th century, with the rise of protestantism, the gradual cultivation of nationalism, and the indifferentism of much of the Catholic States, we find France, Naples, Venice and Genoa, making alliances with the Ottomans for commerce; we find Calvinist Hungarians fighting Catholics under Ottoman favor; we find the Calvinist Dutch attacking Catholics in Tunisia; we find the French making military incursions in alliance with the Ottomans against Catholic Christendom; we find Dutch pirates capturing Christians for sex trafficking (selling both women and young boys) under both the Dutch flag and ...

Many people in the modern western Church think that usury refers to "excessive" interest, and not interest per se . However, little do they know about the history of the word 'usury'. The term 'usury' in the true sense refers to all interest. However, the term became twisted sometime during the 15th to 16th century to refer to "excessive" interest owing to pro-usury factions in Europe seeking to justify usury. This definition is critical because it will determine one's understanding of this sin.

It is because having a wrong understanding of sin is itself manifestation of the...

Many believe that a nation that protects human rights is one that is just and good. They believe that such a nation is a utopian one that treats all citizens as equals because of the rule of law that is an inherent part of democracy. This, however, is only the veneer that occurs in the natural realm. Very few see the dark satanic side of democracy. Democracy has been called 'rule by majority'. Its "motto" is 'by the people, for the people, and of the people'. Indeed, this is the core of democracy. It is about serving the interests of the will of humanity, which is opposite to that of God. By doing that, it is arrogantly elevating itself above God as did the people who tried to build the Tower of Babel to reach the heavens (Genesis 11).  The people who gathered together to build the Tower of Babel said to each other, " Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens,  so that we may make a name  for ourselves; otherwise we...
