Secularism is anti-Christ as the Lie of Free Will: Non-Metaphorical New birth in Jesus Christ the only True Liberty
Article at Brussels Journal on a speech given by Czech President Vaclav Klaus gets it wrong while trying to present conservatism as functional secularism, the very thing Mr. Klaus tries as a defense against the genuine evil of ‘Europeanism’:
“Mr Klaus stressed that the nation-state “is an unsubstitutable guarantor of democracy (opposite to all kinds of ‘Reichs,’ empires and conglomerates of states).” …
[…] We need a system of ideas which must be based on freedom, personal responsibility, individualism, natural caring for others and a genuinely moral conduct of life.”
Mr. Klaus tries to hang on to the lie of free will in the hopes of the comrades it may make him while speaking against the inevitable consequences of that very lie as if the consequences were of some other than the lie.
Nations do not guarantee anything, much less the ‘freedom’ that is implied by the word ‘democracy’. Nations are not entities separate and distinct from the people. ‘Ideas’ as supposed non-living neutral ‘things’ that are not-people as well guarantee nothing. Even the people are not guarantors of anything. Therein is the problem: they are deceived they are indeed the source and guranatorous Rex of everything.
Their speech deceives them.
The difference between true liberty and false hopes of an alternate literal “liberty” delivering mere emotional goods to the fallen human heart is that true liberty, even in this temporal world is exclusively achieved in new birth in Jesus Christ and as a consequence understanding that the lie of free will is a lie and that all speech of non-creating speech ends in violence and non-creation (abortion, sodomy, Pure Consumption, war..), evils far beyond the truth that they are emotional negatives to the fallen human heart to which they happen. The anti-Christ/non-creating speech of sin that speaks the free will lie is replaced in new birth (as the definition of that new birth/regeneration) with the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit of God.
In trying to build up the alternate literal ‘liberty’ of non-creating speech without new birth in Jesus Christ, (Who Is a different word than they have already got), those encapsulated in non-creating speech can never supersede their own speech, the limitations of it, the ‘common sense’ of it and their own powerlessness; yet they cannot stop pretending that they are masters of all and have Real common sense as a product of their supposed freedom and power.
Mr. Klaus, like many, seeks that very particular ‘freedom’ (that is merely one among many alternate literals of the True) that never ‘interferes’ with his free will and by extension the ‘free’ will of the people. He is a Secularist/humanist/free willer/deceived one, whose best honesty is the lie that he can and must live a moral life IN ORDER to have the benefits of ‘liberty’ as emotional positives for his heart he has in common with all fallen men. So he wants the ‘Liberty’ to (drumroll…) ..live that moral life. He wants to dance between ‘religion’ as a supposed brake on the extremes of the free will through governance and ‘nation/politics/governance’ as a supposed separate and distinct category of ‘x’ within the one speech he has got that brings ‘goods’ to the people. He can’t stop speaking or building his hopes on what is false and yet cannot stop seeing that the very thing he praises as a supposed path to ‘liberty’ again and again is oppression. He sees not that the Truth that he has no free will, that free will has never existed, but merely the lie that he or ‘they’ (of the present or past or future) have merely wrongly ‘used it’ and need ‘new directions’ to ‘use it properly’ (and properly defined exclusively to be ‘that which brings an unbroken string of emotional positives to the table perpetually). He always sees evil in the past (but exclusively defined as mere emotional negatives for his own heart were he in the same situation as those of whom he reads as having suffered those negatives in the past..) and yet repeats the same lies that brought that very evil as if not-lies that will lead to Utopia.
And he is considered a Conservative and Voice of Reason among those who love temporal ‘liberty’ , (such as those at the Brussel’s Journal) merely because he is perfectly interpreted as hearing him have the best intentions for his neighbor within the parameters of his best honesty –which is a lie.
Trying to do well is not doing well. Living in an environment in which each tells his neighbor “We’re human beings. That means we have free will! I’m for you and you’re for me and all of us together..! will do whatever we want..!” is not the same as living without sin.
Without new birth in Jesus Christ, they are all blind to the enemy that slays them while the enemy that slays them speaks through them as if a ‘non-interfering’ medium they know as language as a supposed ‘tool’ they ‘use’ to find truth and their way out of evil. Each tells his neighbor as anti-Christ speaks through them: “We need a better plan.”
God has already destroyed the very ‘wisdom’ they count on to climb their way out of evil: anti-Christ. The rest is just working it out.

Ezeliel 20:46-49 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop words against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby. And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it. 2 Kings 18:25
Anti-Christ tried the lie that God had sent him to conqueor Jerusalem through the Assyrians. But God says to the worshipers of demons who hate Jesus Christ and Israel: "But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me." 2 Kings 19:27
