Without God, what does conservatism actually conserve? In the ungodly beating to death of Tyre Nichols, was “Blackness” to blame?
Episode 611: Conservatism without God is just another bureaucracy
The power of conservatism comes from the fact that it exists to protect our God-given rights against the avarice, hubris and greed of human flesh. Without God, conservatism is just a set of opinions some people turned into a governing document. We have the rights to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness . . . but, why? Because God gives us all of that and we get to choose how we steward those gifts. From Life and Liberty often flows the gift of family. A CNN guest announced that it’s not “conservative” to “ban” CRT and sexually explicit books from schools, she claims that is big government (but not so when schools force porn upon kids.) She’s wrong . . . Yet, without God, who are we to proclaim the superiority of our belief that kids should not be taught in schools that it’s exciting and fun and normal to have sex with as many people as possible before 8th grade? Leftists and Party bosses can argue their ideas as well. While we can make the case with psychology and biology that kids aren’t ready for that, that data shows it harms them, none of that has authority, especially in our fallen world. But, it’s self-evident that God gave parents the job of stewarding kids, not the government and God is quite clear about matters of sexuality. If we hope to conserve the family, we must conserve the fact that our rights come from God. People can be brilliant conservative minds and effective patriots without believing in or following God, but conservatism absent God is just gentle bureaucracy.
What does God Say?
God loves us and, like the perfect parent He is, He wants us to gain from His wisdom.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
When Peter and the apostles were being threatened with death by the religious bureaucrats for continuing to preach about Jesus, Peter made it very clear that, when it comes to matters of faith, we answer only to God.
25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them.
27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.
28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! 30The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Episode 612: Did "blackness" kill Tyre Nichols? And, what Jason Whitlock ACTUALLY said about black communities
If there is such a thing as the recently invented syndrome of “Whiteness™”, there is such a thing as “Blackness”™. Was it “Blackness” that allowed a woman to get into law school, pass it, pass her LSAT (one assumes), make it onto the federal judiciary and now be in consideration of a senior federal judiciary seat all without having the faintest notion of the basic functions of the Constitution? Or, was it “Whiteness” hiring “Blackness” to assuage itself for the sin of being “white”? Likewise, was it “Blackness” that beat Tyre Nichols to death or, instead, was it some men who are dominated by their sin problems? Jason Whitlock, (who has “black” skin but is apparently not “Black”™), is under attack because of what he said about broken families creating broken boys who become broken men. But, should Whitlock celebrate that part of “Blackness?”
What does God Say?
God has no interest in the made-up obsession about skin color. He see us as His creation, made in His image.
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
