Love Thy Body

Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. (1 Cor.6:13)

“A society can respect human life only to the extent that it respects the act that creates human life.” (pg.150)

 

This is a very good read to get a handle on the chaos rampant in our sex and death culture today. Nancy Pearcey shows how the philosophies of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Sartre and company form the foolish abandonment of objective truth resulting in the destruction of the family, children, men and women furthering the path to a totalitarian government. (Hello Marx.) The ‘death and dumb’ culture have had their collective minds spoiled through these philosophies and vain deceit, carried about with every wind of doctrine. (Col.2:8, Eph.4:14) Don’t be ignorant of Satan's devices. (2 Cor.2:11)

The time has come when they will not endure sound doctrine (2 Tim.4:3). Sound doctrine like the instruction for “young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.” (Tit.2:1-6) That’s right young men, no pot and alcohol.

Once women have been destabilized, society can be unraveled (see here). The last vestige of moral stability is the woman (God’s embodiment of grace and mercy). Yet God reveals that “even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature” and became “without natural affection”. (Rom.1:24-7, 2 Tim.3:3, turning God’s grace into lasciviousness Jd.1:4) Pearcey summarizes how “a rapid expansion of state power began with abortion.” (pg.254-5) The state decided biology was not important but their decree of “personhood” is what matters. Euthanasia and assisted suicide will quickly follow. So also, the usurpation of marriage; biology again is shelved as the state defines what a marriage can be. And, hot on its heels is the state casting off God’s design of male and female, again discarding biology and dictating that gender identification is a subjective choice. Finally, parenthood, the state has concluded arbitrarily that although this created institution (honor thy father and mother) has been shown to be the best structure (pg.242-3) for raising healthy children and existed prior to the state, the wise overlords (pg.98) proclaim ex cathedra that a parent can be anyone they deem credible. But by what standard?

Well, they start with Immanuel Kant’s dichotomy dividing reality into things in themselves which is ultimate reality and things as they appear to us, thus you can know nothing about ultimate reality, only of our sense data. (pg.163-4) For our postmodern culture, the biological body is not connected to the authentic self. (pg.31) Sartre is called on deck to assist, who taught that existence preceded essence and humans have no essential nature, thus no morality besides what every man makes for himself. (pg.206) So, be brave and pervert yourself. Somehow this mechanical realm of the body is different from the free realm of the person (as they are afraid to follow their heresy all the way to determinism). Kant is invoked as how to explain the way our mental apparatus projects and imposes order onto the chaos. Yet this does not save science or the objective world since the mechanical natural world contradicts the free and moral realm of choice. (pg.163-4) They can’t be explained in terms of each other. Plus Hume destroyed the non-Christian philosophical landscape so completely that neither Sartre nor Kant can lay one stone upon another 'out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned’.

So logic and science are appealed to until they don’t help the cause at which point they are a ‘Western Patriarchal subjugation tool’ and ‘racist’. Primarily this is postmodernism infecting them so completely that they willingly embrace the mantra ‘there is no absolute truth’ as they mindlessly proceed to speak (gibberish according to their own philosophy) while courting violence as a comrade to their narrative. The modernist says the body is a product of chance material forces- the postmodernist says gender is a product of social forces and not fixed. (pg.207) They are influenced by Hegel’s historicism applied to the body. (pg.209) That is, pantheistic evolution of consciousness as history develops. Nietzsche said without Hegel there would be no Darwin. (pg.205) Every definition of male & female is a product of ever evolving social and cultural forces which are the product of previous ones. In other words, they are just interpretations. Thus, nothing is ‘natural’ and sexuality is a changing social construction. (pg.202) Your gender identity is not connected to your body (i.e. biology- which they hate, pg.208) rather to that free inner self, that ghost in the meat machine. Yet evolutionary science has no universally accepted theory about how asexual reproduction evolved into sexual reproduction. Sex is a puzzle to them that has not been solved, and none of them know why it exists. (pg.204-5)

Postmodernism of course destroys the argument ‘we are born this way’. We better not hear that one again! Pearcey however points out that the science lends itself to the experience that homosexuality is not fixed but a product of broken families, absent fathers, older mothers, urban settings, and the fact they hate to admit- sexual abuse. (pg.166-7, & note on pg.303) Also, sodomy quickly develops in prisons, thus a learned behavior. There are no women’s rights either, because there are no women only interpretations by society! (pg.210-11) The body gives no clue to identity; the self is disconnected inside. (pg.30-1)

All this ‘We can’t know scientific facts only social constructs’, including biological facts about sex, is liberating to them. (Ye shall be as gods.) No male or female, father or mother, son or daughter, husband or wife- until the state decides. (pg.212-4) No ‘child in the womb’ also. Sure, it is a human life, just not a person. Virtually no professional bioethicist denies life begins at conception. (pg.51 - with a spark of light, literally.) So, the state decides when personhood begins. (pg.63) And the child’s body can be harvested, experimented on, or genetically tinkered with. Josef Mengele would be chosen as the lead physician in this outfit. This philosophy is wicked and murderous and being spoon fed to our children. Referencing C.S. Lewis, Pearcey quotes “What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.” (pg.99)

But the masses don’t seem to care since they are busy altering their brains with porn and entertainment. Porn actually shrinks the brain. (pg.128, 126) And this really seems like the motive behind all this sophistry- fornication with no consequences. As Aristotle observed: “Men start revolutionary changes for reasons connected with their private lives.” This is when the body/person dichotomy is utilized as sex without emotional attachments. The hook-up culture seeks total separation of body and emotion, this they consider sophisticated. So, there is no relationship depth as you fortify yourself against vulnerabilities only to discover later that you are hurt, lonely, and unable to be sincere or ‘be yourself’ with anyone, imprisoned in hypocrisy. They need intimacy and fidelity, but fear being called clingy and dependent or needy and weak. Alcohol and drugs are used to sedate you as you usually have nothing in common and even disgust for the people you fornicate with. (pg.118-20) Indeed whoredom and wine take away the heart. (Hos.4:11)

Pearcey explains how porn is literally addictive as it floods the brain with dopamine. And in a process scientists refer to as neuroplasticity, the repeated rush rewires the brains reward pathway to become the default setting. Eventually the chemical overload triggers the brain to shut down some dopamine receptors and in order for the user to get the same sensation or “high” they must seek out ever more perverse hardcore porn. (pg.128-9) This carries over into their interaction with women (most porn is consumed by males) and they treat them as embodiment of porn and service stations for male gratification. One step away from a sex doll basically- thus the market for that humiliation. (pg.126)

And as to be expected porn leads to divorce as it “kills love”. As one study found men who started watching porn after they marry were twice as likely to divorce. Now there is firm data (to corroborate common sense) showing porn addicts then leads to violence (Just like Ted Bundy said), destroys relationships, and feeds sex trafficking and prostitution. (pg.126) You are fueling the kidnapping and exploiting of children while you gratify yourself. This is why we see pedophiles circling like buzzards now. History repeats or at least rhymes. (Cupid was portrayed as a boy. pg.187-8)

Progressive? It’s all a guise it turns out; 61% of Black and 64% of Hispanic deaths are from abortion. (pg.294 note 83) 82% of gay men are not monogamous, It is 50% more likely for gay marriages end in divorce, and 167% of lesbian relationships are more likely to end than heterosexual marriages. (pg.321 note 53) Birth control pills and anti-depressants are the most commonly prescribed drugs among these girls. (pg.128-9) Romance is dead. Babies in the womb are considered intruders and parasites. Abortion is an act of self-defense! (pg.238) Absent fathers during childhood may even lead to brain defects. (pg.242) The vast majority of child abuse cases are by a step father or mother's boyfriend. (pg.236) The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. Prv.4:19

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity... (Hos.10:13) For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind... (Hos.8:7) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; (Gal.6:7-8)

Pearcey shows as well that Christianity historically has elevated cultures by valuing children that were abandoned, as well as woman and slaves. (pg.69-72, 143) Women enjoyed a higher status in Christianity than the Greco-Roman world at large. Two Princeton sociologists concluded that a two-parent ideal is what they would have to design were they creating a system to raise healthy children. (pg.242) Basically, the book is showing that science is catching up to the scripture. Which is what we anticipate anyway, since science needs the scripture in order to validate itself. Our culture needs to be called to repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 20:21

While reading the book The Devil and Karl Marx I found an interesting quote from famed feminist activist Kate Millett, who her sister described in the book as demon possessed. In an early Communist revolutionary assemblage, they would in a form of Litany recite how to "make revolution". The formula consisted in true Balaam form of destroying the family by destroying the marriage through sexual lasciviousness. They would chant and shout “Destroy monogamy!... By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” This was their goal to destroy Western society. - pg.366 Marx who hated Judaism and Christianity also hated their revelation of marriage. pg.90 of that book

The revolution is well underway in front of your very eyes. The goal is to destroy the West (de-Christianize) and rebuild the delusion of Marx’s utopia. Millions more will die but such is the price of “progress”.

Cowards go to Hell

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

A coward is defined as: One who shows ignoble fear in the face of danger or pain. One who lacks courage to meet danger; one who shrinks from exposure to possible harm of any kind; a timid or pusillanimous person; a poltroon; a craven.

The cowardly is the opposite in scripture of manliness. (Please see before concluding anything.) Courage is what we ought to exhibit whether we always do. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. (Jam.4:17) The motivation of cowardice is self-preservation, to which Jesus responded “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” (Mt.16:25, Mk.8:35, Lk.9:24, 17:33) Peter denied Christ for fear of men and then dissimulated later drawing a rebuke from Paul. (Mt.26:69-75, Gal.2:11-14) But he confessed and forsook his sin and found mercy. Many people don’t repent, rather they justify it with sophistry.

Nancy Pearcey in her book- Love Thy Body, documents the emasculated pro-choice stance by quoting a shameful man who became pro-abortion “Because I am a man.” “I’ve remained on the sidelines and deferred to the other half of the population.” The semblance of reason to cover this cowardice is that he is “Lacking the ability to get pregnant...” Which has nothing to do with determining whether it is a child in the womb. And millions of babies are murdered because of this sort of fear of popular opinion. This demonstrates clearly the scripture, “For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” (Gal.1:10) And again “Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” (Mk.8:38, Lk.9:26) When informed that “in every city... bonds and afflictions abide me” Paul firmly resolved “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:23-4) We need this same spirit as those who “loved not their lives unto the death”. (Rev.12:11)

Our founders said : “We have counted the cost of this contest, and find nothing so dreadful as voluntary slavery. -- Honour, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them, if we basely entail hereditary bondage upon them.” This shame and infamy is resigned to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union for example. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn recounts his arrest along with millions of other citizens under the Stalin regime recalling “You aren’t gagged. You really can and really ought to cry out- to cry out that you are being arrested!...That arrests are being made on the strength of false denunciations! That millions are being subjected to silent reprisals!” And yet hardly anyone made a peep or mutter. No public stir or “bristle” to make the arrests more difficult. He mentions once when a woman screamed holding onto a street lamp and drew a crowd which flustered the young men attempting the arrest who quickly fled. (The Gulag Archipelago- the Vintage abridgment pg 11-12) For decades it continued Solzhenitsyn states, “How long all that dragged on! And how many millions there were! But the future call-up of 1937 didn’t bat an eyelid and found it all normal. They remained calm while society was being imprisoned. Their “outrage reason boiled” when their own fellowship began to be imprisoned.” (pg.244) Of course then it is usually too late. But a society with no courage, no spirit, and seduced with pleasures is ripe for enslavement.

Friedrich Nietzsche the great syphilitic atheist pointed out that most people’s ‘morals’ are simply manifestations of their cowardice, their conforming to herd mentality. This emasculates the true ‘overman’ from courage, strength, leadership, adventure, danger and unassumingly confines him to defending the herd standards with everyone else. Slavish conformity is no virtue. If this waste of a genius could see that, imagine the day of judgment when God searches the thoughts and intents of the heart of those flattering themselves righteous as the rich ruler. Christ quickly and painfully revealed his sin. (Mt.19:16-25, Mk.10:17-23, Lk.18:18-25)

Marxists are particularly astute at weaponizing cowardice. They seductively incite "the malcontented, disenchanted, disaffected, and dissatisfied. For them, individual liberty and capitalism expose their own shortcomings and failings, and their difficulty and perhaps inability to function in an open society. Marxism provides a theoretical and institutional framework through which they can project their own limitations and weaknesses onto "the system" and their "oppressors" rather than take responsibility for their own real or perceived plight." (pg.8 American Marxism, Mark Levin)

This perverse spirit has been mingled in our culture. “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil”. (Ex.23:2) Cowering for fear of being hated and sewing fig leaves of moral posturing to cover this shame, they parrot the fool saying in unison ‘Judge not!’ Ye fools and blind! (Mt.23:17,19) Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women. (Na.3:13, Jer.50:37) Who keep silence when they ought to lift up their voice. Who take their ease when they ought to gird up their loins like men. They are more concerned with how they look to social media and people they will never meet than the living God with whom they have to do. We are falling under the judgment of Isaiah’s day when he lamented “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Isa.3:12) “For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah... The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient... the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.” (3:1-5) God told Jeremiah during the apostasy of his day, “Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth”. (Jer.5:1) He found none; therefore the wrath of the Lord fell upon them through Nebuchadnezzar without mercy.

In our day we struggle to find those who follow consistent logical coherence, who do not embrace fallacies and delusions, who are more in love with truth than their egos. They will lie to themselves, believe anything they can besides the truth which exposes their shame. Deathly afraid of embarrassment for being wrong or being rejected by a degenerate generation they persist in contradiction, stiffnecked with faces like flint having defiled minds and consciences seared with a hot iron. Cowards care not for truth for fear of what they will find about what they really are. And therefore, they live from one lie to the next flattering themselves puffing themselves up, shutting their ears to the truth, turning away their eyes from reality while their neighbor falls into hell itself and they never fain to utter a word.
