Scorched Earth: Trump Plans To Leave Behind A Weakened Country To Biden

Last updated on: November 19, 2020 at 6:51 am By Henry Karlson

It is undeniable that so many Christians have tied themselves with Donald Trump because they have been led to believe it is a Christian duty to do so by various Christian leaders. They believe in Trump. They believe he is their savior, which is why when Eric Trump said his father literally saved Christianity, they nodded in agreement. This is also why they want to hold on to the notion that Trump won the election, because they came to believe... Read more

Do Not Confuse The Demands Of Justice With Charity

Last updated on: November 18, 2020 at 4:13 am By Henry Karlson

Often, those who write on or discuss the need for government to work for the common good, that is, those who write on social justice, are told that charity should be not regulated by the government. That is, they are told that we should be free to choose for ourselves whether or not we will be charitable. Of course, the problem is that such a response confuses charity with justice. It suggests that many defects of justice can only be... Read more

We Must Be Willing To Adapt Our Actions To The Situations We Find Ourselves In

Last updated on: November 17, 2020 at 4:10 am By Henry Karlson

We easily become creatures of habit, turning habit into tradition and thinking such tradition must never be altered once it has been put in place. Reality, however, requires us to act in accordance to the way things are today, not the way they were in the past. We must deal with the problems of the present and not just assume the solutions of the past will work for us today. We should, of course, learn how people dealt with problems,... Read more

Jesus. The Prince Of Peace

Last updated on: November 15, 2020 at 4:06 am By Henry Karlson

Jesus came to bring us peace, the peace which breaks down the barriers of sin. Sin fractures the common bonds of humanity, and so creates discord within humanity. We, humanity, indeed, all of creation is meant to be one even as God is one. We are called to love one another, so that through such love, the relative distinctions which exist between persons do not end up becoming the source of bitter hostility and strife. We are to love one... Read more

The McCarrick Report And The Judgment Of The Church

Last updated on: November 12, 2020 at 7:03 am By Henry Karlson

The release of the McCarrick Report has revealed what has long been believed and understood: sin and corruption not only affects the world at large, but it has likewise infected the earthly church, causing great scandal, but also great harm to many innocents within and outside the church.[1] The church, even when it is called together by the grace of God, and through that grace, to bring God’s presence to the world, nonetheless has a dark side to it, a...

Every Time We Stumble and Sin, Rise Back Up

Last updated on: November 11, 2020 at 4:10 am By Henry Karlson

The message of Christ is the message of hope. He brought us good news: God loves the world. He wants to share himself and his love with the world. Sin takes us away from God, but God is willing to forgive us, to work with us, to help us so that sin does not have the last word. Sin, because it takes us away from God, the source and foundation of our being, leads to death. Sin is nihilistic and... Read more

Integralism Follows the Errors Of The Zealots

Last updated on: November 9, 2020 at 4:06 am By Henry Karlson

Christ, during his earthly ministry, found himself to be in the middle of a debate as to how the Jewish tradition, and therefore the practice of the Jewish faith, should and would continue in the future. Each of the various groups involved in the debate had some good associated with them. None of them were completely wrong. Jesus acknowledged this in the way he told his disciples to honor the “Seat of Moses” (cf. Matt. 23:2). Nonetheless, each of the... Read more

Theosis: God’s Plan For Creation

Last updated on: November 8, 2020 at 4:10 am By Henry Karlson

The teaching of theosis tells us that God became man so that man can become God. That is, God’s plan was to draw humanity into the divine life through the incarnation. By becoming human, by becoming a particular human, the man Christ Jesus, God assumed a created nature. All that is created has a created nature. Thus, just as becoming human made him one with humanity, by assuming a created nature, Christ is made one with the whole of creation.... Read more

The Principles Of Love

Last updated on: November 6, 2020 at 4:11 am By Henry Karlson

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. These are the two guiding principles of the Law of Moses, the principles which will never go away. Many theologians have suggested that the two tablets on which the Ten Commandments were divided likely represented these two principles, one tablet for God and what is expected of us concerning our love for God, and the other in regards humanity, and what...

Just Because It Isn’t Capitalism Doesn’t Mean It Is Socialism

Last updated on: November 5, 2020 at 5:33 am By Henry Karlson

It is common for some people to say to each and every critic of capitalism, because they are critical of capitalism, they must be socialists, and if they are socialists, they must not be given credence since socialism is erroneous. Such an argument an ad hominem fallacy, because whether or not a critique is accurate does not depend upon if someone is a socialist or not. Indeed, if the reverse were done, and someone denounced a capitalist criticism of socialism... Read more
