Christian Clarity Review

In an effort to set up non-creating speech as de facto god (as if they had not already done so in their own eyes and are already in full blown worship of it..) , anti-Christ through free willers is always re-writing/revising history to make it seem “it happened” according to a new honesty made possible by ..the free will of man whose attention span has been self-turned to “new” angles on the old events against their own old emotional treasures and that the new angles turn out to merely re-soldify their old lies as truth; as if they were ‘willing’ to ‘explore’ their enemies supposed self-willed mind-set in the accusation that their enemy (John Calvin and Jesus Christ) had their same mind but merely pretended otherwise –that their enemy started out a fallen human being and ended up the same way forever and was caught in the bondage he “merely claimed” to be set free from in Jesus Christ by Jesus Christ and that if he was free, others would be as well and specifically all the elect.

excerpted from:FT June/July 1999: Calvin and the Christian Calling

It is easy to understand why the editors of First Things chose Calvin for their purpose. Calvin?s task can be thought of as consolidation rather than initiation. The first phase of the Reformation focused on issues relating to personal salvation and the need for reform in the life of the church. Although Calvin never lost sight of these themes, he is perhaps best remembered for his detailed exposition of the leading themes of the Reformed faith in his Institutes of the Christian Religion?widely regarded as the most significant religious work of the sixteenth century?and his wrestling with issues concerning the identity of the church and its place in public life. This second aspect of his thinking developed against the all?important background of the life of the city of Geneva, which can be thought of as the laboratory within which Calvin forged his new ideas.

Calvin has excited a variety of responses, both from those who read him and from those who only read about him. He has been the object of much attention from theologians, church leaders, and historians. Some of that attention has been uncritical and laudatory; in that view, Calvin is the man who got (virtually) nothing wrong. For others, Calvin was the “dictator of Geneva,” a personally unattractive person who got (virtually) nothing right. Neither approach is of much value in understanding the man and his legacy.

According to anti-Christ, there is no actual and non-metaphorical new birth in Jesus Christ and most especially NOT by merely hearing God as Word, even though God directly Says that we are born again as new creatures in Jesus Christ and that God IS His Word:

1Peter 1:23-25 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the living and abiding word of God. Because all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass. The grass has withered and its flower has fallen; but the word of the Lord abides for eternity. But this is the word which in the glad tidings is preached to you.

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. *He* was in the beginning with God. All things received being through him, and without him not one thing received being which has received being.

By denying new creation in Jesus Christ and that new creation in this flesh on this earth now by hearing God as Word, a Mystery of Salvation is then available to be manufactured and ’solved’ by anti-Christ via the lie in non-creating/’will-neutral- speech –the lie that men have free will. With new creation in Jesus Christ by hearing God as Word, even as a non-creating mimickry of true ‘doctrine’, there can’t be any ‘earning’ one’s way to a paradise (wherein one never changes being and speech but only one’s desires are given unrestrained power without end ) ; no ‘earning’ one’s newness of being even if such newness is admitted to be necessary, no ideal model of behavior because no free will and in particular no priestcraft as those giving out ‘holy directions’ AS that ‘ideal model of behavior’ ( like the mafia and witch coven of the Roman Catholic Church to this hour) — no purgatory, no Mass, no Pope, no worship of the dead as ’saints’, no ‘channeling God’ through the Few Over the Many for any reason whatsoever. In God’s truth, all those chosen by Him are brethren and none rule over the others but all are servants in Him as He does it through us to each other –the very antithesis of Rome and free willers all.

But in an effort to deny the Truth of God, anti-Christ through the Free Willers in the Romanist journal of First Things once again sets out to ’study’ their Opponent and the “other’s side’s Guy” in order to seem to cast new truth on him and make him them minus true wisdom so that they may publically Pity him or “forgive” him postumously and ‘convert’ all those who ‘follow him’ by extension. They speak of the supposed Man John Calvin (not the new creature in Jesus Christ through whom God Spoke) and wonder out loud as to ‘how’ Calvin supposedly in self-will “came to the words” (as if Calvin found out God rather than God finding Calvin..) he wrote. After trying to significantly notice the physical aspects of his life as if hitherto unknown :

Although Calvin is widely regarded as Swiss (did he not work in Geneva?), it needs to be made clear from the outset that he was French. Born in 1509 in the city of Noyon, northeast of Paris, he was baptized as “Jehan Cauvin.” His father intended his son to have a career in the church, and took what steps were necessary to secure this

and building on that kind of ‘brute honesty’, we are given:

By this stage, Calvin appears to have accepted something of the agenda of the Reformation?Calvin scholars have spilled much ink over a tantalizingly opaque passage in one of Calvin?s later writings, which speaks of his undergoing a “sudden conversion” at some unspecified date and place. Early writings, such as a privately published commentary on Seneca?s On Clemency (1532), cast little light on his religious views. Yet while in exile in Basle, Calvin penned the first edition of a work that would establish his reputation as a vigorous and informed defender of the reformed faith. Institutes of the Christian Religion appeared in 1536, and would undergo successive revisions until the final edition of 1559. While it would not be fair to Calvin to suggest that this is his only work of importance, there is little doubt that it continues to be his most influential work.

..as a stepping stone to functionally calling Calvin a Caananite simply because God used him to not refute that God directly Says to make friends with the unrighteous mammon and not in any way pretended that the mammon is righteous simply because it is used to make friends.

Luke 16:8-13 And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light. And *I* say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles. He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true? and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who shall give to you your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Calvin understood Christianity as a faith that engages the realities of both personal and public life. He had considerable interest in the development of an authentic Christian theology, and was well aware of the importance of issues of personal piety and spirituality. Yet his vision of the Christian faith extended far beyond the piety of a privatized faith or the cerebral conundrums of an intellectualized theology. Theology for Calvin offered a framework for engaging with public life.

A culture of free enterprise flourished in Geneva, in large part thanks to Calvin?s benign attitude towards economics and finance. A comparison with Luther is instructive here. Luther?s economic outlook?like his social thought in general?was heavily conditioned by the social realities of the unsophisticated rural German territories he set out to reform. His was a world preoccupied with the problems of late feudal rural life, especially the tensions between peasantry and nobility. Although Luther was clearly aware of some of the economic issues of his day?such as whether money should be loaned at interest?he did not understand the issues dominating urban finance. Luther had no conception of the economic forces that were beginning to transform Germany from a feudal nation of peasant agriculturalists into a society with an emergent capitalist economy. In his treatise “On Trade and Usury,” written in the summer of 1524, Luther adopted a strongly critical attitude towards those engaged in any form of commercial activity. The fact that Luther?s economic thought was hostile to any form of capitalism largely reflects his unfamiliarity with the sophisticated world of finance then emerging in the public life of the cities.

Calvin, however, was perfectly aware of the financial realities at Geneva and their implications. Although he did not develop an “economic theory” in any comprehensive sense of the term, he appears to have been fully cognizant of basic economic principles, recognizing the productive nature of both capital and human work.

..

Calvin also articulated a work ethic that strongly encouraged the development of Geneva?s enterprise culture. He taught that the individual believer has a vocation to serve God in the world?in every sphere of human existence?lending a new dignity and meaning to ordinary work. Calvin agreed that the world should be treated with contempt to the extent that it is not God, and is too easily mistaken for Him; yet, it is the creation of God, to be affirmed at least to a degree.

The article goes on to tacitly laud Calvin here and there ( “his view”) but only to make it seem a human being completely outside of Jesus Christ just “came up with” some notions of “how to live” as a mere alternative to the “holy directions” of his own physical era taught by the free willers and Rome in particular –as if Calvin spoke the same language as Rome , but merely “used it” ( as all free willers are deceived their own speech is a mere powerless abstract So THAT they have free will ‘with it’..) to different effect than Rome and in doing so might be an example of how to “think outside the box”.

Even when Satan compliments, he lies and he smiles only so long as he can’t kill you. Satan’s compliments are only to validate his own lies, as if he understands you and understands in particualr that you and he speak the same speech over which he supposedly has absolute control and you a mere novice he must continually correct.

Luke 21:15 for *I* will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opposers shall not be able to reply to or resist.

The words Calin wrote were from God, even as there was in them a mixture of anti-Christ. We are born again in this world and our flesh fights against us as we write and are matured in Christ to go beyond our own former errors. So then, there is no “holy tradition” only Sola Scriptura and yet there is new light of old Truth given by God through the many of the elect in every hour of this age. Some have indeed tried ot ake too much of Calvin. And what God did through him stands to this hour as Truth that stands the test of the constant fire of the dragons mouth.

Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways please Jehovah, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. ( ..the revelation doesn’t Say “..causes his enemies to be his friends..” or “causes his enemies to his brethren”..)

The enemy’s peace is not peace. Anti-Christ’s attempts at giving of the best he has amongst his own ( and which they would be very happy to obtain) to a true Christian is belligerence against God even as it is an emotional sacrifice to himself.

Isaiah 57:19-21 I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him that is afar off, and to him that is nigh, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, and whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

It may seem to anti-Christ that he humbles himself to give of what is his ( as his own best-honesty version) of a compliment to a new creature in Jesus Christ. It may seem a “real olive branch”. Yet all of anti-Christ is an abomination to the new creature in Jesus Christ becuase it is an abomination to God. You must be born again as real, literal new creature in Jesus Christ, even if you ‘teach’ at Oxford. You cannot afford to be a mere good pretender in the old Big Thing. God will not allow you to sit in the back and be humble and “included” as a mere spectator. You will know Jesus Christ all the way as the Way or no way at all. Each step along the Way you will feel the burn of that supposed ’sacrifice’ and God will push that red hot poker into you more and more. You won’t be able to keep up with what started out to be a mere attemtp to make peace with your perceived enemy. You’ll be willing to give up a certain amount of Mom, Pop and Tradition –but not all of it. It is required you have the very best, the most pure; what has been fought for and given by Christ and that burns the most and the hottest. You simply are not allowed to be “abased” as a newcomer who formerly erred and must, according to his old lies, start at the bottom and work his own way up in a new system. God has a place for you –a seat with your name on it. You do not get to assign yourself your own seat, much less one in what you consider the back.

Proverbs 21:3 To exercise justice and judgment is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen

Not content to appoint and honor an active homosexual and his “partner” as “AIDS ambassador” to ..someone; to not rescend any Clinton-era presidential directives promoting homosexuality in the military and everywhere else so that Satanic sex-magic/witchcraft rituals against the U.S. may go on unabated in the guise of mere “pleasure of choice”; to drop as a hot stone the marriage amendment; to belligerently seek U.S. citizenship for any and all in the world who illegally enter the United States in order to undercut U.S. workers wages and break U.S. Labor and to then seek ( via old connections in the FreeMasons and elsewhere) to serruptitously hike the minimum wage via the Democrats as supposed evidence he/ the-government is “for U.S. Labor” specifically to offset what he sees as a mere nusiance ignorance by the U.S. public that results in the U.S. public overwhelmingly being against importation of “new citizens” (who are specifically overwhelmingly not-Protestants and non-Christians and are willing to be Pluralistic Everything for enough Cash) at all and against such “amnesty” so that it may appear he has offset the effects of “cheap labor” ON the U.S. worker); to hold up the lie of Islam as a “true religion” honored yearly on White House webpages and speeches and the supposed equal to Jesus Christ; to force foreign governments once freed from that lie of Islam at the cost of Christian blood of U.S. soldiers to “include Islam” in and as their own governments; now George W. Bush and Company (Dick Cheney included) reportedly seeks to install as a judge the henchmen of Clintons, who gave Sandy Berger a supposed clean record and white-washed that no one can account for what was taken by Sandy Berger as if everything he took was well known and more copies existed of everything, a thing that makes the Watergate Conspiracy pale by comparison:

WorldNetDaily: Expected Bush appellate nominee at center of Berger document heist

President Bush is reportedly expected to nominate longtime prosecutor Noel Hillman to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals less than a week after a congressional report criticized the then-justice Department official for “incomplete and misleading” assurances to the court during Sandy Berger’s 2005 plea bargain for taking classified documents.

Hillman, a newly appointed federal judge in New Jersey, most recently served as lead Justice Department prosecutor against Jack Abramoff in the Capitol Hill lobbying scandal. During his tenure with Justice, Hillman oversaw the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s 2000 campaign finances, indicting and prosecuting her finance director, David Rosen, for filing false reports. Rosen was acquitted in 2005.

…

In accepting the plea, Hillman assured the court that Berger did not have an intent to hide any of the documents or conceal facts from the 9/11 Commission and that “nothing was lost to the public or the process.”

But a report on the investigation into Berger’s removal of documents, issued this week by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, identifies multiple occasions when Berger had access to original copies of classified documents for which there were no other copies or which had never been inventoried.

The report singled out Hillman for his “incomplete and misleading” assurances that the Justice Department had accounted for all documents Berger had handled and that all materials had been forwarded to the 9/11 Commission investigating the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Bush now has his ideal congress and dreams he can do what he really has wanted to do all along: do away with U.S. soverignty and as much as he pubically can among what men dream they control, the true Christian religion in the world. Now he simply relies on the ‘think-tanks’ to do all his ‘thinking” for him and to set them up in the public eye as functional priests of a new religion: the ‘free will’ of Man and the ‘laws’ that ‘free will’ must supposedly follow as ‘holy directions’ dictated by the American Enterprise Institute, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commision, FreeMasons and Shriners, Rotarians and the U.N.

1King 13:33,34 After this thing Jeroboam turned not from his evil way, but made again from all classes of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. And by this thing there was sin on the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the face of the earth

1Kings 12:28-33 And the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt! And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan. And this thing became a sin; and the people went to worship before the one, as far as Dan. And he made a house of high places, and made priests from all classes of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made. And he offered upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he made a feast for the children of Israel, and he offered upon the altar, burning incense.

Just as Jeroboam made a false/alternate literal Israel and a false / alternate literal “Jehovah-worship” that mimicked the supposed benefits of the “old way” for personal profit, anti-Christ through Bush and Company in both political parties, the Roman Catholic Church and all the rest seek to manufacture a supposedly man-made equivalent to Jesus Christ / true Christianity that every soul will follow simply because their flesh seems to prosper therein. They only catch themselves.

Daniel 8:25 And through his cunning shall he cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he will magnify himself in his heart, and by prosperity will corrupt many; and he will stand up against the Prince of princes: but he shall be broken without hand.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
