Joseph Spurgeon on the Temptation of Ideology

[@bretlynn]

This was a much healthier discussion than "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!"

[@juanguadalupe2539]

Seems to me like part of the problem is that we treat these ideas (communism and facism) as devoid of theological value. But in reality they are theologies with their own “gospels” that evangelize people to their own world view. We believe we’re simply correcting historical inaccuracies/revisionism when in reality the battle rooted in a theological framework from which people view the world.

Exactly

[@rebeccalindley153]

"The Draft of the Communist Confession of Faith," is available to read on the net. It is by Engels. And the final version of "The Communist Manifesto" includes an explanation of how Communism was set up as a secret society with a religion. Most people only read the first version of the Manifesto, not the final one.

When you consider that furthermore, within those theological frameworks is the god that is worshipped by its followers. Thus you’re really confronting the idols of people’s hearts.

The Jews ARE overrepresented in all sorts of evil and they DO have enourmous power. It is fact, not fictiin, and they hate our Lord.

“Wherever this abiding love of truth can be discovered, we are bound to exercise our love. No narrow circle can contain our gracious sympathies, wide as the election of grace must be our communion of heart. Much of error may be mingled with truth received, let us war with the error but still love the brother for the measure of truth which we see in him; above all let us love and spread the truth ourselves.” Charles Spurgeon Forgive me for posting a quote, the discussion just brought it to memory. Really appreciate both of you guys! Keep up the good work Jon.

Very good discussion. I've been on the receiving side of attacks by ensuring my Brothers in Christ who have Jewish heritage are not maligned with or perpetually as the apostate Jews. Come to find out, I also have Jewish heritage. Once I bring this up, those attackers turn more ferocious. Those who once were friendly become hostile. We pray for the Kingdom of Satan to be destroyed, the the ingathering of the Jews, the fullness of the Gentiles brought in, and the downfall of the Antichrist (Pope) and the Harlotry of Rome. One thing I would like to note: 1:10:36 the actions against Tom A were largely militarized by fight last feast add cross politica leaders and community of the CREC. So a man's life was ruined instead of being shepherded what. The question becomes where is the ramifications for those men that went out of their way to destroy him? Why are these men still pastoring? why do they still have jobs? why do people still follow them when at almost every turn they give bad pastoral advice? I don't follow them and I point to these scenarios as reasons why others should not either. For those among those groups you woll remember White Boy Summer was purged by them as "kinist," all the while "Chocolate Knox," gives the superficial re-quote "Give me Africa or I die." His connection to Africa is so very different than Knox's to Scotland and his immediate Kin. This double standard by these men reeks. The Corey Mahler's become the pendulum swing from the lunacy of the breaches created by the Cross Politaca guys. The sooner these men in CP become self aware and repent, the sooner we will be able to competently deal with the Stone Choir types.

Who is Tom A?

[@wescreedle9801]

My Grand-uncle (grandfather's brother) was a tailgunner on a Liberator too! He is burried in Anzio in the MttF

I listened to a pretty recent video by TIKHistory in which he presented a quite compelling case that Adolphus Hiedlerus was an odinist.

[@conceptualclarity]

He was not a Catholic or a Christian that's for sure

[@JRRodriguez-nu7po]

First! Seriously though, why would Pinky bother with Spurgeon's opinion when he can ask The Brain?😊

[@darrelljackson6175]

Watch Band of Brothers and use Dick Winters and the men of D Day as your WW II example.

[@bobbybero7452]

You guys have no interest in having a discussion. You say whatever makes you feel better and aligns with your ideology. You have no idea what men are going through. You have no intent on fixing their problems. You only want men to shut up and conform to your ideology even if it’s at men’s detriment. Unsubbed

[@ConversationsThatMatterpodcast]

@@bobbybero7452 This is the sensitivity I was talking about. The main reason we talked about ideology is because of the plight of young men. And I had a discussion.

[@EmissariesoftheGospel]

​@ConversationsThatMatterpodcast good ideology is an absolute necessity. Bad ideology - be is Marxism, communism, egalitarianism, libertarianism, religious pluralism, or political pragmatism... all bad ideologies are ultimately destructive. That's why it's so necessary to be insistent on good, strict, precise biblical ideology.

[@ConversationsThatMatterpodcast]

@@jacobmark4198Watch the podcast lol. I talk about it.

[@ConversationsThatMatterpodcast]

@@EmissariesoftheGospel I don’t know of any good ideologies in the proper sense.
