2007-10-12 20:21:00 A lot has happened since the last Government Tyranny Roundup . Serve and protect? Sure… For our own good? Right… A woman in a wheel-chair is murdered because she was tasered 10 times. Did all that initial voltage give her the ability to walk again? Is that why they had to use it an ...

Ron Paul at the 10/9/07 Republican Debate
2007-10-11 00:30:00 If you’re like me, you didn’t get a chance to watch the actual 2 hour debate on CNBC because you have the most minimal cable package possible. CNBC was supposed to stream it live and have it available afterward, but I couldn’t find it anywhere on their site, and the clips I did find ...

Government in Scripture: Matthew 4:8-10
2007-10-03 20:54:00 8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9“All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!

Peace: The True Christian Calling
2007-10-02 18:35:00 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.” (Matt. 5:9) Jesus begins his sermon on the mount with a list of blessings that would have shocked his contemporary Jewish audience.

Confessions Reflections 5: Ancient Rhetorical Spin
2007-09-27 20:22:00 Book 1, Chapter 17, 28 After Augustine tells how he wasted his talents on vanities such as reciting poetry (not because it was poetry, but because it was pagan fiction), he offers an explanation as to why he did so. But it is no wonder that I was thus carried toward vanity and was estranged from thee, ... More About: Literature , Reflections , Confessions , Spin
Jesus not Political? Impossible!
2007-09-26 20:00:00 Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Dish posted this response to a statement that Jesus would vote Libertarian. Sorry: not buying it. Jesus has no politics. He has a message of individual salvation. No political system is necessary for it; none can ultimately prevent it. First of all, the Jesus of the Bible hardly has anything to say about individual salvation. He’s mostly concerned with Israel as a people, albeit reshaped around himself rather than Temple and Torah. His basic message can be summed up with the following: “Israel has lost it’s original vocation. Instead of being the light of the world and the salt of the earth, they have turned inward. Not only that, but Israel is trying to bring the Kingdom in with violence, and if things don’t change, she will be judged.” Now his actions tell us a different, but related, message, but that’s the topic of another really long series of articles. Let’s continue to the topic at hand. Excluding the... More About: Political , Impossible , Ossi , Politic

The Questionable Morality of the Religous Right
2007-09-24 18:26:00 (Christians would rather use this than the more effective weapons of the gospel.) I was reminded about the absurdity of so-called “value voting” when I read a recent article about Dr. James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family and one of the most politically influential Christians in the country. Dr. Dobson has made a big ... More About: Morality , Mora , Ality

5 Tips: How to Read the Bible the RIGHT Way - MY Way
2007-09-20 15:13:00 (This is a guest post from our good friend, Mr. Fundamentalist.) The world is descending into a pit filled with unimaginable horrors, such as terrorist attacks caused by homosexuals, Democrats in public office, and comeback performances by Britney Spears. And let’s face it, Christianity itself isn’t that far behind. Like a sick puppy, we run after ... More About: Bible , Tips , Read , The Bible
Americans Get Failing Grade in American Civics
2007-09-19 16:53:00 And now, I bring you more proof that American s don’t really care about the liberty they claim to enjoy. The Acton Institute Blog brings attention to a study commissioned by Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s (ISI) National Civic Literacy Program. The study found that colleges and universities are doing a horrible job in teaching students about basic American history and civics. No school scored higher than a D+. (Harvard was the highest, with an average student score of 69.56%.) Since the largest weapon against tyranny is a well-educated populace, this doesn’t exactly bode well for our so-called freedom. Of course, with the government worship that goes on in our society, it doesn’t surprise me. You can take the test yourself right here. I scored an 83.33%, getting 50 of the 60 questions correct. So apparently, the education I get by wasting countless hours on the internet has prepared me better than a Harvard education, at least in this particular topic. I f...

Government in Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:10-22
2007-09-17 18:23:00 After Israel commits a form of idolatry in asking for a king, God decides to give them one more chance to change their minds. God, in his mercy, warns the Israelites about what having a king, a formal government like the other nations, really means. Let’s break down the list. And remember, God is ...

Government Tyranny Roundup September 14, 2007
2007-09-14 20:57:00 It’s always important to shed light on evil, especially when perpetrated by those in power. When it comes to modern government, however, people tend to turn a blind eye because they are under the delusion that government is a good thing and really exists to “serve and protect.” Many of the evils of government are ...

Ron Paul an Adolescent Child?
2007-09-13 19:03:00 Joe Carter from The Evangelical Outpost posted one of the most uninformed articles I’ve ever read. He accuses Ron Paul , and libertarians in general, of holding to Utopian ideals, but does very little to actually refute them, other than to throw ad-hominem attacks like “they should grow up.” Is this argument from an economic ...

Government in Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:1-9
2007-09-12 18:21:00 Israel asking for a king is a dramatic turning point for the chosen people of God. While things eventually turned out well (the coming of Christ), this has more to do with God having the uncanny ability to make the best out of a bad situation. Because rest assured, asking for a king was a foolish request, and if this post doesn’t convince you, a cursory reading of 1 and 2 Kings easily shows that: The kings led Israel astray most of the time. Even the good kings couldn’t save Israel in the end. The whole sad story almost reads like a case study about how utterly incompetent earthly kings are, pointing the way toward the only worthy king. But more on this later. Let’s get to 1 Samuel 8. Israel asking for a king could only be a good thing if the following 3 things were true: God was not really a jealous god, after all. He just said that because he was in a bad mood at Mt. Sinai. God wished the Israelites to learn from the Canaanites, and emulate them in any way... More About: Government , Scripture
