Freedom is the keyword that most fully expresses how the United States sees itself. But no one in the United States is free of government, let alone gravity or aging. Americans may claim to have something called freedom but it is not something that cannot be removed or reduced. It is not something that is not always under attack. If they have it, it is a tenuous possession. The United States has no succeeded in having freedom but how could it ever claim to have such an undefinable condition. In fact, freedom was always a two-edged sword. It has been as much a reason for America’s failure as it ever was for any success they think they have enjoyed.

The West is Christian because the West is charitable. The peoples of the West were always more concerned about helping others than about defending what they had. They, in the common phraseology, put people first. It was always more important, in the West, to be human than something else.

The Ten Great Evils are natural to the world of the flesh, they are not supposed to infect the church. Charity is the antithesis to the Ten Great Evils and the antiseptic that kills these symptoms of parasitism.

If we are saved by faith but faith without works is dead, and if those, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, meaning those who have not been proselytized may still be saved by living as if they had been, do Christians really understand how they are saved? God does not save people at random as saved by faith alone suggests nor can we earn our way into heaven as those who think works will save them wish to believe. So what is the third option? We explain.

The question is, are we better served by a philosophy that subscribes to a non-sentient universe, where everything happens by chance; or by a sentient version in which there is not only purpose but a desire to fulfill that purpose? The question is best answered by looking at something that can only be done if the latter option is taken. That is, how do we create a single universal science with a single quantifiable method of validation? Well we know this is not happening within the realm of the physical sciences, so lets look at the other option.

The solution, if it exists, must be inversely related to a problem; unless there is an infinite number of solutions that solve an infinite number of problems. However, that is an absurd scenario and only tenable if the real problem is not understood. Problems cannot be isolated and self-contained. If they were, they would all need an independent origination and that is not feasible. There must be one source of all our difficulties, and if there is a single, meta-problem, a single solution is possible. To generalize, perfection is the absence of all problems, therefore, all problems are caused by that which reduces perfection. All we need do is ascertain that which leads to and culminates in perfection and we will have the answer to what is the solution to all of our problems.

We are sinners, we are born in sin. Unfortunately, many Christians stop reading there and even luxuriate in the idea that as sinners no one could possibly expect much from them. This is a great comfort to the spiritually immature. Others have matured enough to move on and read Matthew 5:48. Even if one is not perfect one is commanded to be perfect, which for the spiritually mature, brings up the question, what actually makes us imperfect and what is the process we take to make us perfect? The answers are actually not that complicated.

You cannot be a Christian and not assume the fulfillment of the Great Commission does not create a universal system, what is known as an empire. If you want to be absolutely certain that the church is failing, that it is not living up to its mandate, observe how far away we are from being an empire.

Logically nothing stands in the way of economic development other than gate keepers, men who would prefer to see children starve and families living on the street, than lose their share of the nations wealth, though they produce none of it and would they vanish over night, the world would continue to produce what it produced before.

The ones who live in the flesh, fear the absolute, because the absolute is what evil and sin is measured against. Without the absolute, there is no perfection against which the sinner can determine how far he has fallen or how deep is his degradation.
