The One Is Indivisible
The Truth Is The Whole
To become a Christian, you must request Baptism in the Name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit.
To be a Christian, you must abandon the local churches.
To join The Church, you must yearn to see God as you ordinarily see anyone.
All of the Reformation Churches — Protestant (Lutheran), Reformed (Calvinist), and Anglican — have gone chasing after visions (Leftism), ignoring and even condemning realities, which means dismissing God. American so-called Evangelical churches descend from the left wing of the Reformation: Anabaptism/Antinomianism. These never were Christian, never belonged to The Latin Church, always have been essentially Arian: venal, uptight, silly, obtuse, and not infrequently violent.
The Roman Catholic Church is run by homosexuals and now a visionary (Leftist) Vicar, realities be hanged. A few Roman Catholic prelates, priests, and parishes, here and there, remain Christian and eschew visions (Leftism). Find them if you can, and if you do, strengthen them through selfless service maintaining The Mass, Education of Parishioners, and Care of the Weak and Lonely.
The Latin Church Militant is abandoned to be the mell of a hess her leaders, clerical and lay, chose to make her. The Moravian Church (Bohemian Brethren) may be the only denominational constituent of The Latin Church who have not succumbed to the siren visions of Leftist drivel.
What does a Christian do from now on, this side of entering The Church Triumphant?
Exit The Church Militant. Make a monastery. Raise there a family. Become proficient in arts that conduce to happy, healthy, holy living. Protect and defend your country’s constitution. Act to remove visionaries and other self-serving individuals from offices of public trust. Yearn to see God in all as all. Think and speak in Biblical and Vedic imagery. Use Biblical and Vedic terms of art for every-day events and experiences. Reference Biblical and Vedic archetypes when addressing current events. Do not found new churches, and treat as charlatans any who propose to do that.
A Christian does these things from now on. The Church is here now as such.
Update 1: A weak mind inclines a person to favor visions over realities. This is the phenomenology of a Leftist. Leftists are anti-Ulysses personalities. They steer towards rather than away from Sirens, aka visions of what is not and cannot be. In theology, we call visions idols and visionaries idolaters.
Update 2: BLUF: a Satan (an accuser) is a suicide because The Maker of All finds nothing in His Handiwork to accuse . . . He made it!
Ancient Hebrew has Satan/Sheetan meaning the accuser and comes to indicate the formal role of the prosecuting attorney in a legal case at least by the time of the Great Prophets. The underlying theological import of an accuser (Satan) being a bad guy doing evil is breathtaking indeed and entirely outside the circle of experience and expectation of all but the most sublime saints.
Prosecuting attorneys are reviled rightly not only for aggressive decisions but even more so for prosecuting at all. The reason: (1) human nature — indeed all reality — is divine and therefore blameless, and (2) where harm has been done, punishment can only reach the body, and sometimes the mind, neither of which caused the harm . . . improper impulses in the heart did that harm and no punishment can reach those save God’s own ways and means, which include no prosecutors, no Satans.
Update 3: Bishop nixes Nicene Creed at Epiphany Mass to avoid offending unbelievers
Update 4: The Babylon Bee: Episcopalians Confused By Strange Book Trump Brought To Church
Update 5: Prominent Georgia Church Breaks with Increasingly Progressive UMC Denomination
Students! You have performed a variety of gymnastic feats. You have distinguished yourselves in a variety of games and sports. Although these games have a value of their own in the physical plane, there is something greater than all the health benefits. It is this message: Life is a game, play it! You must learn to treat life itself as a big game. To achieve a good name and success in this game, you have to cultivate good habits. Good thoughts, good speech and good actions are the disciplines required in this game.
