LOOKING FOR CHRISTIAN SAINTS IN THE PUBLIC ARENA

  LOOKING FOR CHRISTIAN SAINTS IN THE PUBLIC ARENA

In pursuit of the truth  - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Saturday, Sept. 5, 2015

 

     We have had them in the past. Desperately, we need them today. The book by Peter Marshall and David Manuel, "The Glory of America" is loaded with at least 365 Christian quotations by great Americans like George Washington, John Adams, Andrew Jackson,  Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge,  Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, John Winthrop, Patrick Henry, John Jay, Daniel Webster, Noah Webster and Henry Clay.                                                                                      

 

    Here is the one for today by Thomas Dilworth's "New Guide to the English Tongue" has for its first reading lesson this selection, which consists of words not exceeding three letters: "No Man may put off the Law of God. The Way of God is no ill Way, My Joy is in God all the Day. A Bad Man is a foe to God." Warfel, Webster, 11. (Same-Sex Marriage is contrary to God's law and is a lie.)

 

     On the subject of "Refusal to Accept the Truth," here are excerpts from Mark Landsbaum's article in today's "The Orange County Register," Opinion Section.

 

     "Here's practical advice from your truly's favorite book: "Let your yes be yes and your no be no."... For decades, Americans have viewed politicians' veracity on par with that of a used-car salesman and carnival pitchmen. We may be approaching a new low. A Quinnipiac poll recently discovered that when people were asked what words come to mind to describe Hillary Clinton, the top three responses were "liar," "dishonest" and "untrustworthy," which is to say all these people felt the same way about her. These weren't exceptions among the responses. The next nine responses included "crook," "untruthful," "criminal" and "deceitful."

 

     "An ideologically consistent progressive might protest that, in this age of relativism, truth is an artificial construct, a way of indicating one's perspective, uninfluenced by how others view reality. In short , "I have my truth, you have yours." Or, as one government official once put it, "What is truth?"... We could imagine that absolute truth doesn't exist, but real life inconveniently intrudes....

 

     Those standards shaped by contemporary morality, politics and culture have denied absolute truth and replaced it with man-concocted schemes believed to be a better way. The result is a hornets' nest of contradictions and self-defeating premises that cannot stand - at least not for long.

... In attacking historic, orthodoxy Christianity's absolutism, secularists simply replaced one religious belief with another.... But the measure of a religious view is how well it comports with reality. Refusal to face and accept truth can end only in crashing and burning amid the broken and failed contradictions of invented reality. ...

    PROGRESSIVISM IS INTELLECTUALLY AND MORALLY BANKRUPT. THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA BY OBAMA IS A LIE. IT IS NOT AMERICA AND MUST NOT BECOME AMERICA. PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS NEUTERED AMERICA WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNES AND FALSEHOOD.  WE HAVE VERY SERIOUS DIVISIONS IN OUR COUNTRY. WE NEED ANOTHER LINCOLN. BEN CARSON CAN FILL THAT ROLE.
