Preface

   By Culture of Death, I mean the term that was used by St. John Paul II in his encyclical, "Gospel of Life." There are so many idols in our culture that keeps us occupied for better and worse.  

 

    What is this secular agnostic culture of death religion all about? During the time of St. Paul in Athens, the Greek culture seemed to be much more wiser than your culture today. What kind of uplifting practical principles that your culture of death have today? We have these corporate elitists who tell us what the new definition of marriage must be, and they know how important genderism is in our new society which seems full of false and non-scientific based ideas.       

 

    Really what is so up-lifting and new about leftist and progressive thinking. First of all is the new culture of American historical origin or is it another one of those alien and Marxist foreign ideas. By American historical origin, I means words from our Founding Fathers and early settlers.

    Then we have false journalism (the mainstream media) who have an agenda and a double standard for those who disagree with them. Yes, the ordinary folks are really dumb with their attachment to old-fashioned religion, guns and thoughts that are really not politically correct when expressed.

    We the elites know what is best for these misinformed Americans. We the elites will brainwash and redirect these peasants when we win on Nov. 8th. NEVER

 

PAUL IN ATHENS ACTS, 17:16-34

    While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply troubled by all the idols he saw every where in the city. He went to the synagogue to debate with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened to be there.

    He also had a debate with some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. When he told them about Jesus and his resurrection, they said, "This babbler has picked up some strange ideas." Others said, "He's pushing some foreign religion."

    Then they took him to the Council of Philosophers. "Come tell us more about this new religion," they said. "You are saying some rather startling things, and we want to know what it's all about." (It should be explained that all the Athenians as well as the foreigners in Athens seemed to spend all their time discussing the latest ideas.)

    So Paul, standing before the council, addressed them as follows:

"Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious, for as I was walking along I saw your many altars. And one of them had this inscription on it - 'To an Unknown God'. You have been worshipping without knowing who he is, and now I wish to tell me about him.

    He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn't live in man-made temples, and human hands can't serve his needs - for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breadth to everything, and satisfies every needs there is. From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand which should rise and fall, and determined their boundaries.

    His purpose in all of this was that the nations should seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him - though he is not far from any of us. For in him, we live and move and exist. As one of your own poets says, 'We are his offspring.' And since this is true, we shouldn't think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver and turn to him.

 

    God overlooked people's former people's ignorance about these things, but now he commands everyone everywhere to turn away from idols and turn to him. For he has set a day of judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead....

 

What symbols of God's presence do you see around you in society? ... While it is important to share our faith we like Paul, must also be prepared. The more we know about the Bible - what it means and how to apply it to our life - the more convincing our lives will be...
