How to go from here to there?
If I am proposing a “Christian Nation,” how do we go from our currently secular state, completely hostile to the existence of Christianity anywhere except between the ears (for now at least) to a country that is openly and unapologetically Christian and in which our Laws and morals are reflected by the Ten Commandments?
Indeed, how does any country do this? …
Regardless of what one thinks of Whittaker Chambers, this letter succinctly reflects the condition of the West in the 1950s, which held to forms produced by a Christian, while denying its source.
Combine Chamber’s thoughts with Alexis de Tocqueville (“America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great”) and you have a pretty good idea why this country cannot arrest it’s slide into the morass.]
Today the dominant narrative is that Christianity is the enemy. Just imagine that.

Add to these witnesses Alexander Solvenityn’s indictment of Western Culture with his Harvard Commencement speech and one cannot say that we have not been warned.
Epistemology is the study of knowledge — how do we know what we think we know?
It’s a pretty philosophical question. In fact, it is the ultimate philosophical question.
Does truth exist?
If so, can we know it?
If so, how?

God does not believe in equality; God is no one’s equal.
God created Man first, and Woman from Man.
Man was to obey God, and the woman to listen to and obey the man, and in turn the children are to obey the parents.
God gave a female as companionship to the male — that was the perfect fit. Homosexuality is the undermining of God’s perfect order for companionship.
God’s first command was to reproduce; homosexuality prevents reproduction.
Is so-called “religious” neutrality possible?
No.
There is no such thing as neutrality.
There is no philosophical space in which nothing exists — and that is the purported (but deceptive) goal of the so-called secularists.
A lack of what some call “religion” is merely the substitution of another philosophy and morality; all of which are matters of conscience, thought, assumptions, and philosophy. “Religion” is but a sub-set of those — and those against the Christian faith call Christianity “religious” in order to place it in a ghetto — to circumscribe it, contain it, imprison it, and limit its influence.

I read the book of Esther this morning. It has two themes. First, women should submit to and obey their husbands. If they don’t the consequences are bad. If they do, they wield enormous influence — vastly more than “independent” women who claim equal authority to their man.
But it is the second story that I wish to focus on — racial identity.
The story of Esther does not mention God once, even though Esther part of the Bible. This is a Holy Spirit inspired story about racial identity and the necessity to understand one’s self as a member of a family — a blood line — a race. (The root word of nation is the same root word as birth and to be born. It is a blood line.) …
There are those who want to build a society friendly to Christianity but not offensive to non-Christians. I used to be one of them; I thought there was a way to do this. The goal was to build a society that is “conservative,” has “family values,” honors one’s history and is “constitutional” but not explicitly Christian. It was considered that coalition building was practical; that survival — getting that safe space — trumped other considerations.
I thought, “that kind of society works — an anti-Marxist society.” But it does not work. “Conservatism” is another false religion — it is a political philosophy that rejects the explicit acknowledgement that Jesus is Lord. …
A Christian Nation/State
God has a plan for nations, states, governments, and countries. It’s called the Ten Commandments. It’s really simple. The Ten Commandments are not personal moral goal for individuals — they are the legal and moral code for entire nations. The Ten Commandments are the foundation for law, philosophy, morality and government for nation/states.
If that nation endorses that Law, propagates that Law, takes seriously that law, and comports itself in accordance with that Law, that nation/state shall be blessed.
If that nation forsakes that law, out of ignorance, fear, backsliding, or rebellion, that nation will be cursed.

It is frequently said by Christian churches in America that is “Christian” to accept the foreigner into America; many Christian denominations and individuals maintain that promoting broad immigration privileges to non-Americans is the only defensible Christian position on immigration.
Non-sense.
…
Scary. This is from Robert Reich, a long time Clinton Democrat and former Secretary of Labor:
“In his 2013 novel A Delicate Truth, John le Carré describes the “deep state” as a moneyed élite—“non-governmental insiders from banking, industry, and commerce” who rule in secret.
America already may be close to that sort of deep state. As Princeton professor Martin Gilens and Professor Benjamin Page of Northwestern University found after analyzing 1,799 policy issues that came before Congress, “the preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.
Instead, Gilens and Page concluded, lawmakers respond to the policy demands of wealthy individuals and moneyed business interests.”
The Constitution begins with “We The People;” but this has been abandoned. Only way to get it back is to fight for it.
