Judgment: The biblical explanation for insanity, evil, and disintegration of human souls
By Linda Kimball
For over eighty-five years, America has been incrementally conquered by the same madness and murder-inducing demon of nihilism (objective meaninglessness), hatred, and violence that earlier took over Russia, China, Germany, and Italy.
This demon is embodied in "scientifically enlightened" rank and file nihilists, the Western European and American ruling classes, and their masters – Western transnational occult planetary citizens.
All three groups are deeply infected by many delusions. One is that America's true source of evil is always on the Right. A second is "scientific" evolutionary naturalism, a form of magical thinking that imagines the universe made itself and man invented God. Evolution as an origin narrative is an invention of the darkened imagination of nihilists given over by God to depraved minds. This invention of depravity is more terrible and more destructive than has ever been presented in the ordinary course of nature. It imagines that life somehow emerged out of nonlife, that man is not created in the spiritual image of God the Father, but is rather a soulless, mindless ex-ape of evolution. It imagines there is no sin, no hell, no souls, and no Divine Judgment; thus nihilists, though free to be evil, are no longer human because in rejecting the Holy Triune God, they have stepped out into the void that takes their disintegrating souls to hell.
Two of the evil creeds of nihilism – political correctness and identity politics – are, like nihilism, a denial of reality. In particular, identity politics denies the idea of the one human race created by the Triune God together with the fall, individual accountability, and individual freedom, and establishes in their place group privileges based on the spurious idea of a genetically evolved racial/gender hierarchy consisting of many distinct races and genders:
"These hierarchies are based on the malicious premise that whites, heterosexuals and males are oppressors and – in the words of the Democratic platform – America is a society governed by "systemic racism," which needs to be fundamentally transformed." (The War Against Trump, David Horowitz, FrontPage Magazine, March 8, 2017)
The delusional idea of a racial/gender hierarchy is fully incorporated within Sweden's intersectional feminist government.
What is "intersectional" feminism?
"It is a species of feminism that, in accordance with the relatively new academic concept of "intersectionality," accepts a hierarchy whereby other "victim groups" – such as "people of color" and Muslims – are higher up on the grievance ladder than women, and whereby women who belong to those other groups enjoy an even more exalted status as victims than white female Christians or Jews." (Feminism, Swedish Style, Bruce Bawer, Gatestone Institute, Feb. 8, 2018)
Having rejected the Triune Creator God and Biblically grounded religious heritage of Western civilization, nihilists embrace instead an ancient order of revamped and revised pagan and occult pantheist beliefs of which Babylon, Communism, Socialism, and Luciferianism (apotheosis of man) are logical expressions. A Godless new world order is what they seek, but in order that it can emerge, the still remaining remnants of Western European and America's Christian-based culture and all who defend it must be completely destroyed.
And what is Communism? Using the former Soviet Union as an example, early Conservative intellectual Frank Meyers describes it as the "state form taken by a pagan "materialist faith determined to rule the world." Communism or neo-pagan scientific naturalism is "the final synthesis of all heretical tendencies that have pervaded Western civilization for many centuries." It is pagan scientism, of which communism is the culminating "hubris of the Promethean man who reaches out for the world and means to remake creation. It is scientism gone political." (The Conservative Intellectual Movement, pp. 251-252)
"... since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done." Romans 1:28 "I will make her princes and her wise men drunk, Her governors, her prefects and her mighty men, That they may sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake up," declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. (Jeremiah 51:57)
Those who are destitute of a love for truth and within whom apostasy and the mystery of lawlessness have commenced the Lord of Hosts rejects as godless, wicked, and worthless. Thus He takes from them their power of discerning the true from the false so that with their consciences depraved they fall into greater and greater madness and wickedness. In this way their madness and wickedness are punished by madness and wickedness. Upon such people the wrath of God rests (Romans 1:18).
The global occult elite, and the Western European and American ruling class's hate Jehovah God and His created order and He has given them over to depraved minds and disintegrating souls.
Genesis 1: 1 "In the beginning God created... "
"You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you." Nehemiah 9:6
"Man is said to be made in God's image" said St. Thomas Aquinas, "insofar as the image implies an intelligent being endowed with free-will and self-movement." (Fallen Images, Robert P. George, Touchstone, May 2003, p. 15)
The biblical view of man is that while made in God's spiritual image, in contrast to God, man is fallen. His intellect, will and passions are disordered by sin even though sin does not obliterate his God-like powers of free will and intellect. Thus humans can, by God's grace, understand what is good and choose to do what is good, or turn away from God and willfully choose to do what they know to be wrong.
Many research historians of the new paganism and its destructive 'isms' and 'magic science' agree that it emerged out of the Renaissance and Franco-Germanic Enlightenment. The demonic poisons produced thereby were undergirded and fueled by a willful rebellion against God, the fallen human condition and mortality.
By the time of the Enlightenment, God-haters realized that their only avenue of escape was by way of a delusional integration with nature. Lester Crocker explains:
"There existed in the eighteenth century a widespread desire to equate the moral with the physical world..." What was desired above all was "total integration of man in nature, with refusal of any transcendence, even though it was admitted that (being God's image-bearer) gave him certain special abilities and ways of thinking. The important thing, as La Mettrie, d'Holbach and others made clear, is that he is submitted to the same laws; everything is response to need – mechanically... like a tree or a machine. Man merely carries out natural forces – without any freedom whatsoever – in all he does, whether he loves or hates, helps or hurts, gives life or takes it." (Monsters from the Id, E. Michael Jones, pp. 5, 7)
In other words, from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment through to our own day, arrogant, defiant rebels have been saying to Jehovah, "you are not our Father." Thus like dogs returning to vomit they returned to the folly of pagan evolutionary idolatry. Thus by the logic of their position, the 'best and brightest' "descended from a hairy quadruped, furnished with a tail and pointed ears," a species of monkey which in turn descended "through a long line of diversified forms" going back to something like the larvae of sea squirts (1) and some of them, the most superior, are evolving to the "omega point" of union with the divine monistic Void or perhaps Quantum Void.(2)
Early Church Father Athanasius explains both the human condition and the fatal consequences of rejecting our Creator in favor of idolatry (self-worship) and nature worship of matter, creative energy (evolution), water, fire, and air.
God has made man, and willed that he should abide in incorruption; but men, having despised and rejected the higher things and authority of God, devised and contrived evil for themselves, thereby receiving,
"... the condemnation of death with which they had been threatened; and from thenceforth no longer remained as they were made, but were being corrupted according to their devices; and death had the mastery over them as king." (On the Incarnation of the Word, Athanasius)
In willfully falling away from the knowledge of God and transgressing against His commandments, God gives them over to their wickedness and to madness. This action effectively turns them back to their natural state,
"....so that just as they have had their being out of nothing, so also, as might be expected, they might look for corruption into nothing in the course of time. For if, out of a former normal state of non-existence they were called into being by the Presence and loving-kindness of the Word, it followed naturally that when men were bereft of the knowledge of God and were turned back to what was not (for what is evil is not, but what is good is), they should, since they derive their being from God who IS, be everlastingly bereft even of being; in other words, that they should be disintegrated and abide in death and corruption. For man is by nature mortal, inasmuch as he is made out of what is not; but by reason of his likeness to Him that is (and if he still preserved this likeness by keeping Him in his knowledge) he would stay his natural corruption, and remain incorrupt; as Wisdom 6:18 says: "The taking heed to His laws is the assurance of immortality" but being incorrupt, he would live henceforth as God, to which I suppose the divine Scripture refers, when it says: "I have said you are gods, and you are all sons of the most Highest; but you die like men, and fall as one of the princes."
The fool who has said in his heart, there is no God (Psalm 14:1) has effectively said to the Creator and sustainer of life and being, "You are not my Father." The rejection of Father God is for soul and its citadel, spirit (intellect, will) to disintegrate into the void from which men have been called, thereby abiding increasingly in madness, death and corruption even though he or she still lives and is mainly blind to the effects of disintegration and madness. In his Lord of the Rings trilogy, Tolkien ingeniously makes 'visible' the invisible process of inner disintegration and resulting madness with Grimma Wormtongue (human kind), Gollum (a Hobbit-kind), Orcs (Elf-kind), and other decayed and decaying characters.
Our Lord and Savior, the Living Word spoke all things into existence from nothing and has said:
".... I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life..." Deuteronomy 30:19-20
The Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Word become Flesh, Jesus Christ the Physician came to heal the spiritually sick. But whoever rejects the Physician, whether through indifference or outright denial, rejects His prescription, hence destroys him or herself.
Destruction however, does not mean annihilation of the soul as is commonly thought today. The soul though immortal, said St. Augustine, nevertheless suffers a kind of death when the living God forsakes it:
"...in that penal and everlasting punishment.... the soul is...said to die because it does not live in connection with God (meaning that) though man does not cease to feel, yet because this feeling is neither sweet... nor wholesome (but) painfully penal, it is (called) death rather than life." (St. Augustine's City of God, Chapter 2, Of that Death Which Can Affect an Immortal Soul, and of that to Which the Body is Subject)
