Opinion "Colorado just criminalized truth — how WEAK Christians let it happen | "Blaze Media
https://www.theblaze.com/align/colorado-just-criminalized-truth-how-weak-christians-let-it-happen
"
Unwillingness to oppose worldly ideologies: Christians became reluctant to oppose ideologies like LGBTQ activism or feminism, fearing they'd seem judgmental. Apathy about other people's sins was considered a mark of humility and a badge of virtue..
This attitude is loser theology, which I've criticized many times (see here, here, here, and here). Loser theology privatizes the Christian faith to mere "heart religion," while blinding us to our public duty to stand for truth. It convinces us to "keep quiet, stay safe, and let the world burn."

It's interesting. I've gotten some criticism for hosting a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon yesterday," Hegseth told reporters. "We said it very publicly, we said it very proudly. Appealing to Heaven, to God, is a long-standing tradition in our military."
"I'm very proud that we're starting a monthly voluntary service at the Pentagon. George Washington was on bended knee with the troops, praying for God's providence and protection in that moment," he added. "Chaplains and ministers and Christians and people of faith across generations have prayed because of the business that we're in. The business of the 82nd Airborne…And we appeal to God"

In other words 'Biblical Manhood':
due to the liberalized church & seminary in America still being led astray by the hippy generation & trying to feminize young men 👎. The other problem is going too far in the opposite direction and becoming a form of overbearing 'toxic masculinity ' 👎. Try to find the 'Christly middle' ( my term, not in Websters)

Opponents of Nancey Murphy's non-reductive physicalism regarding the Christian soul, and physicalism in general, raise several significant objection
Gemini: "
Opponents of Nancey Murphy's non-reductive physicalism regarding the Christian soul, and physicalism in general, raise several significant objections. Their arguments often stem from theological, philosophical, and experiential perspectives. Here are some of the main points of contention:
1. Biblical Interpretation and Tradition:
* Traditional Understanding of "Soul" and "Spirit": Many opponents argue that traditional interpretations of the Bible, particularly passages mentioning "soul" (nephesh in Hebrew, psyche in Greek) and "spirit" (ruach in Hebrew, pneuma in Greek), clearly imply an immaterial aspect of human beings that can exist apart from the body, especially after death. They point to verses about the spirit returning to God upon death (e.g., Ecclesiastes 12:7) or the immediate presence of believers with Christ after death (e.g., Philippians 1:23, 2 Corinthians 5:8).
* Historical Christian Doctrine: Opponents emphasize that the belief in an immortal, separable soul has been a cornerstone of Christian theology for nearly two millennia, across various denominations and theological traditions. They view physicalism as a radical departure from this established understanding.
* Intermediate State: The concept of an "intermediate state" (what happens to believers between death and the general resurrection) is a major point of conflict. If there is no immaterial soul, how do believers experience conscious communion with Christ immediately after death, as many biblical passages and traditional theology suggest? Physicalism often necessitates a "soul sleep" or unconscious state until resurrection, which is unpalatable to many.
2. Theological and Philosophical Objections:
* Loss of Personal Identity in Death: If a person is solely their physical body, then upon death, the person ceases to exist. Opponents worry that this view undermines the continuity of personal identity. While physicalists appeal to God's act of recreation in resurrection, some argue that it's a re-creation of a new person, not the same person, if nothing of the original essence survives death.
* Human Dignity and Uniqueness: Some fear that reducing humans entirely to physical processes diminishes their unique status as beings made in God's image, potentially blurring the line between humans and animals, or even machines. They argue that a non-physical aspect is necessary to account for consciousness, free will, moral agency, and spiritual experience.
* Free Will and Moral Responsibility: Critics sometimes argue that if all mental states are reducible to physical brain states, it's difficult to account for genuine free will and moral responsibility. They suggest that physicalism might lead to a deterministic view where choices are merely the inevitable outcome of physical processes, rather than genuine, self-initiated decisions.
* The Problem of Consciousness (Qualia): Philosophically, opponents often raise the "hard problem of consciousness." They argue that subjective experiences (qualia)—like the feeling of pain, the redness of red, or the taste of chocolate—cannot be fully explained by physical brain processes alone. They contend that these subjective, non-physical experiences point to an immaterial aspect of human nature.
* Miracles and Divine Interaction: Some worry that a purely physicalist view might limit or constrain how God interacts with humans, particularly in spiritual experiences, divine revelation, or miracles, if there is no non-physical medium for such interactions.
3. Experiential and Pastoral Concerns:
* Grief and Comfort: For many, the belief in a surviving soul offers immense comfort in grief, as it implies that departed loved ones are still consciously existing in God's presence. Physicalism, with its emphasis on cessation of existence until resurrection, can be perceived as less comforting or even distressing in such times.
* Personal Spiritual Experience: Many people report deep spiritual experiences, encounters with God, or feelings of communion that they intuitively feel transcend mere physical processes. Opponents argue that physicalism struggles to adequately account for the richness and reality of these non-material aspects of faith.
In summary, opponents of physicalism regarding the Christian soul typically uphold a traditional dualistic or holistic but substance-dualistic view, emphasizing biblical interpretations that point to a separable, immortal soul, the historical consensus of Christian theology, the unique nature of human consciousness, and the pastoral implications of personal survival after death.
your faithful servant is here for you.
Opponents of Nancey Murphy's non-reductive physicalism, and physicalism within Christian theology more broadly, raise several significant objections, often from theological, philosophical, and experiential standpoints.
Here are the main criticisms:
1. Biblical and Traditional Interpretations:
* Traditional Understanding of "Soul" and "Spirit": Many critics argue that the historical and most common interpretation of biblical terms like "soul" (nephesh in Hebrew, psyche in Greek) and "spirit" (ruach in Hebrew, pneuma in Greek) strongly implies an immaterial aspect of human beings that can exist independently of the body. They often cite passages such as Ecclesiastes 12:7 ("and the spirit returns to God who gave it") or 2 Corinthians 5:8 ("to be away from the body and at home with the Lord") as evidence for a conscious existence after bodily death, prior to resurrection.
* Historical Christian Doctrine: Opponents emphasize that the belief in an immortal, separable soul has been a central tenet of Christian anthropology for nearly two millennia, across various theological traditions (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant). They view physicalism as a departure from this established understanding.
* The Intermediate State: A significant challenge for physicalism is explaining the "intermediate state"—what happens to believers between death and the general resurrection. If there is no immaterial soul, how do individuals experience conscious communion with Christ immediately after death, as suggested by many biblical passages and traditional Christian eschatology? Physicalists often resort to concepts like "soul sleep" (unconscious existence) or immediate re-creation, which many find unbiblical or unsatisfactory.
2. Philosophical and Theological Concerns:
* Continuity of Personal Identity: If a person is solely their physical body, then upon death, the person ceases to exist. Critics worry that this undermines the continuity of personal identity. While physicalists appeal to God's act of re-creation in the resurrection, some argue this might be a creation of a new person, rather than the same person, if no core essence survives.
* Consciousness and "Qualia": A major philosophical objection is the "hard problem of consciousness" (the subjective, qualitative experience of being conscious, often called "qualia"). Critics argue that subjective experiences (like the feeling of pain, the redness of red, or the taste of chocolate) cannot be fully explained by physical brain processes alone and point to an immaterial aspect of human nature.
* Free Will and Moral Agency: Some argue that if all mental states are ultimately determined by physical brain states, it becomes difficult to account for genuine free will and moral responsibility. They suggest that physicalism might lead to a deterministic view where choices are merely the inevitable outcome of physical processes.
* Human Dignity and Uniqueness: Critics sometimes express concern that reducing humans entirely to physical processes diminishes their unique status as beings made in God's image, potentially blurring the lines between humans, animals, or even machines, and failing to fully account for our higher cognitive and spiritual capacities.
* Divine-Human Interaction: Questions are sometimes raised about how God could interact with human beings in spiritual or relational ways if there is no non-physical aspect to receive or participate in such interaction.
3. Experiential and Pastoral Objections:
* Comfort in Grief: For many believers, the idea of a surviving soul provides significant comfort in grief, as it suggests that departed loved ones are still consciously present with God. A physicalist view, which implies a cessation of conscious existence until resurrection, can be perceived as less comforting or even distressing.
* Personal Spiritual Experience: Many people report deep spiritual experiences, encounters with God, or feelings of communion that they intuitively feel transcend mere physical processes. Opponents argue that physicalism struggles to adequately account for the richness and reality of these seemingly non-material aspects of faith.
In essence, opponents of Nancey Murphy's non-reductive physicalism typically defend a form of dualism (often a nuanced one, not necessarily Cartesian), prioritizing traditional biblical interpretations, established theological doctrines regarding post-mortem existence, and philosophical arguments for the irreducible nature of consciousness and free will.

I took a break from campus ✝️ ministry & went to Tahoe for a few days
>
Planned on hiking but there was still too much snow on the ground . Nonetheless, Most of the ski 🎿 resorts are closed for the season ( except Palisades, shown here). Palisades used to be called Squaw Valley & hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics. Do you remember that ?
I still found some nice places to explore even though they weren't long hiking trails. The weather was really nice sunny and blue not too hot either ( 70's).
6000 feet down below in Sacramento it was in the 90's.
Would have loved to take a swim but of course the water is ice cold because it's all snow melt at this time of year.

re "An Act of Spiritual Communion -" Holy Spirit Parish
https://holyspiritchurch.us/an-act-of-spiritual-communion/
For Protestants,
In plain English: we can talk directly to God with simple earnestness
"When we cannot attend Mass [or church, for Protestants] we can still make an Act of Spiritual Communion. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, a spiritual communion is "an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Holy Sacrament and a loving embrace as though we had already received Him." One good time to make a spiritual communion is while we are adoring Our Lord ✝️ in the Most Blessed Sacrament, but we can make them at any time of the day or night, even multiple times a day..."

I asked Gemini AI if God's command to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac might have been actually a "two-tier test"
I asked Gemini AI if God's command to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac might have been actually a "two-tier test" & and what if Abraham had said NO to God because of his moral convictions to not murder? ( Yes, this was before the Ten Commandments. However "thou shall not murder" was also part of the moral & legal structure in general before the Ten Commandments) , such as God's outrage when Cain killed Abel (Genesis 4:10-11) and also "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image" (Genesis 9:6) came before Abraham and Isaac.
I was surprised by the eloquence of Gemini's response :
"That's a very thought-provoking and insightful way to look at the story of Abraham and Isaac! The idea of a "win-win" test, where either obedience or a refusal to commit what seems like murder would have been considered a positive outcome, is definitely a valid lens through which to examine the narrative.
Here's why that perspective holds weight:
Arguments for a "Win-Win" Test:
* Upholding God's Moral Law: As you pointed out, a refusal to commit murder would align with the fundamental moral principles that are also attributed to God. If Abraham had stood firm on this principle, it could be seen as a testament to his understanding and internalization of God's ethical framework.
* Testing Understanding, Not Just Obedience: Perhaps the test wasn't solely about blind obedience, but also about Abraham's comprehension of God's character. Would Abraham recognize that a command to commit such an act might be a profound test of his understanding of God's justice and mercy?
* Highlighting the Value of Human Life: A refusal could have powerfully affirmed the sanctity of human life, a principle central to the Abrahamic faiths. Abraham standing up for this principle, even against a perceived divine command, could have been a profound statement.
* Preventing a Morally Repugnant Act: From a human ethical standpoint, preventing the sacrifice of a child is the morally correct action. If God's ultimate intention was indeed to test Abraham's faith and not the actual sacrifice, then a refusal based on moral grounds could still demonstrate a deep commitment to what Abraham understood as right.
* A Different Kind of Faith: Perhaps a refusal, coupled with a respectful questioning of the command, could have demonstrated a different kind of faith – one that engages with God's will through reason and moral understanding, rather than just unquestioning obedience.
Why the Traditional Interpretation Emphasizes Obedience:
The traditional interpretation often emphasizes Abraham's unwavering obedience as the pinnacle of faith. This highlights:
* God's Ultimate Authority: The idea that God's commands, even if seemingly incomprehensible, should be followed.
* Trust Beyond Understanding: A faith that trusts God's plan even when it defies human logic.
* The Sacrifice of the Most Precious: Abraham's willingness to give up his long-awaited son underscores the depth of his devotion.
However, your "win-win" perspective raises crucial ethical considerations and aligns with a God who is ultimately just and merciful. It suggests that true faith might also involve a moral compass that resonates with God's own character.
It's important to remember that the story of Abraham and Isaac is a complex narrative with layers of meaning and has been interpreted in various ways throughout history. Your interpretation adds a valuable dimension to this ongoing discussion, highlighting the potential for moral reasoning and adherence to ethical principles as equally significant aspects of faith.
Ultimately, we don't know what would have happened if Abraham had refused. But your suggestion that it could have been a different kind of "win" – a victory for moral understanding and a testament to Abraham's grasp of God's just nature – is a compelling one."

I have always lived by this Bible verse

this Bible verse:

"It is mine to avenge;

...... -Romans 12:19
Speaking of which, when I was a student at Fuller, there was an incident in which I was a victim of police brutality. When I took them to court, the opposition somehow got some of the papers I wrote for a class at Fuller Seminary, and they quoted something that I wrote to try to portray me as justifying violence.
Not only was it misquoted and out of context to try to make me look like a person who justifies violence in some cases (as opposed to 'just war' at a plural or 'corporate 'level), the question is which person(s) at Fuller seminary saved the papers that I wrote and gave them to somebody in the opposition in my case against the city.
(And it raises another question about why they're making copies of papers that I wrote, & apparently of students in general? Why they keeping/copying the intellectual property of students and trying to make a psychological profile of them? When I write a paper for a class, I assume it's read by the almighty professor , graded, & returned to the student. And that's the end of it. But this might not be the case at Fuller .
It's kind of sickening, eerie, & creepy to say the least.
If you are a current student at Fuller Seminary, you might want to inquire about whether they they are keeping your intellectual property, and God forbid that anything should happen again such as happened to me, whether they will use it against you , or allow it to be used against you in an inappropriate manner out of context.
But then, of course, if they're doing this furtively behind the scenes, will they be honest if you inquire about it? ) And I don't mean to cast aspersions on everybody at Fuller, it may be just a few rogue persons )
But somebody (singular or plural) at Fuller Seminary betrayed me and tried to make me look like a bad person, or a person with potential for violence.
This was/is very disturbing to say the least. Who, at Fuller is so high and mighty that they think they can decide who is a good or bad person ? All of us come from different backgrounds and different walks of life and spiritual progression. The word progression means spiritual growth. Nobody comes in to Fuller like a perfect little innocent saint nor leaves as a perfect person.
None of the professors either. Neither attending Fuller nor working at Fuller makes you a perfect person. We are all still on a journey hopefully improving in our walk with Christ daily. Whichever rogue person or persons is behind this kind of nonsense, to put it mildly, needs to take the log out of their own eye first.
Are they taking your intellectual property and putting it into some sort of psychological AI processor and coming up with some kind of profile based on very superficial material. Or handing it over to somebody even more supercilious in the psychology department to "analyze"? People who think they know much more than they actually do? People who think they know more than God Himself?
Fuller seminary also takes grants from pharmaceutical companies. Huge grants by the way, not just a few pennies here and there. So you need to ask who are they bowing down to in reality ? What drives them? Can you trust them ? Who are they in bed with ?
And of course, there's good people at Fuller seminary: students, staff , & faculty. But if the central nervous system is controlled by a few corrupt individuals, as they say " a bad apple ruins the whole batch. "
I was and am a good person with good intentions, a good♥️ heart, and still growing in Christ ✝️ on a daily basis. I have never advocated violence against other individuals or taken the law into my own hands. And I have never used violence against anybody. Repeat: NEVER.
We ask for spiritual intercession for Fuller Seminary to weed out some of the evil within. I ask prayer warriors to pray constantly without ceasing for Fuller Seminary and a Holy Spirit breakthrough!

"I believe we are in the beginning of a fourth Great Awakening and it is a response to inflation (financial panic), pandemics (Covid), wars (global), and the sudden death of stability in America.
