@Victoribus Spolia, @Rei Murasame, and others ;
March 1st, I started this thread, and I'm going to wrap it up tonight. I said at first that;
I reject the Modern credos and manifestos which hallmark this rotten era.
I affirm the Symbol of Faith, the Nicene Creed, and all the Canons and Decrees of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and subsequent Councils and Synods of the Ancient Orthodox Church, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, and the canons and decrees of the same.
Pretty much firm on this, even more so.
I reject the Modern State, even if out of prudence and human respect for earthly authority I submit in all things except sin.
After all, what God wills He wills for the best, in His mercy.
I affirm the rightful rule of Right-Believing Kings and Queens, of the God anointed and enlightened Orthodox Tsar, even though I know that today we are in an Interregnum with no Tsar, and possibly Antichrist will be shortly revealed as such unto the Elect of God.
I still don't know if this is an interregnum period, a long and chaotic anomaly of a historical point in time, or very much the Last Days. Either way, one has to be prepared.
I reject all of the modern ideologies as being corrupt and delusional fruits of the same wicked tree, which is rebellion against God, and the division and mutual slaughter of mankind.
All the ''Isms'' in fact, each and every one.
I affirm the righteous ways of life rather than these ways of death, and so I regard the insight of the Scripture and other Holy Tradition as the rule of proper and peaceful Christian society and of the Christian person, as it was yesterday, today, and tomorrow, ever-young and salvific.
I do not, as I indicate here, respect mere human tradition for the sake of tradition.
I regard and reject sin as sin, and to be party to or condone sin is to be as if one was committing the evil itself. They may kill me, but they will not get me to admit that theft and murder and envy and fornication, are not those things.
Everyone deep down knows the truth.
I reject the hatred and fear of other peoples, or attempts and enslavement and extermination of other peoples.
I affirm the right of every tribe, clan, and kingdom to live as they see fit with whom they see fit, or set limits to whom they will associate with, and defend their culture and society from invasion.
Since I believe my ideas are organic and reality based, there is no impulse on my part to spread my political beliefs by force, I just will suggest practical and common sense things to others.
I reject the theory of evolution as presently understood by many in the modern age, and the commonly accepted cosmology of this modern age.
I affirm the creation by God of the Universe in six days, and that the Earth is the center of the Universe, which rotates around it. This same Earth is a little more than 7000 years old, and more years it may well have although it s hard to see how much longer we can endure without the Lord's intervention.
There is no ''Progress''.
I expect mockery and misunderstanding, hatred and venom and ridicule. Even icy silence. It has always been thus, and it is what true Christians can expect, to be regarded as insane, reactionary, foolish, and the enemies of humanity and it's ''progress''.
For those I expect to believe as I have laid out, your ''progress'' and ideologies all are one with the proud Giants who perished in the Flood, and the wicked of Sodom and Gommorah who perished in the fires cast upon the Cities of the Plain. One with the Rebellion of Korah and Dathan and fated like they were to be cast into the eternal fires of an everlasting Hell.
But, people have free will, they will choose what they will, this is not something that can ultimately be stopped, nor should it be, except to prevent evils on you and yours.
And so, as my subtitle suggests, in this Age of Devilry, science divorced from truth, from spirit. Flesh divorced from reason and enslaved to the disordered passions, one must (to borrow an analogy or symbol) from the pirates of old; ''raise the black flag''. Not of the Demoniac Muhammad to be sure, not his black flag, but one in which no quarter is given to the sinful structures of this filthy and decaying era.
Spiritual warfare is striking to true root of evil, and it begins by striking at the root of evil within oneself.
We will escape you if we must, hide in the wildernesses literal and figurative out in the world. Where we are still strong we will do battle and oppose you, if nowhere else than in the recesses of our own hearts.
You know that this era is crashing down; this even explains your doubling down, ye Moderns, on your lunacies and your lusts, you know that your time is short.
And it is a real war, this spiritual war, with eternal consequences.
I wrote this because I've had enough, i've had way too much consideration for mere human respect and consideration, in ''feelings'' instead of bearing witness to the truth. It may well be that from me the rest you will hear is Silence, but that silence will speak louder than my years here of multiplication of words.
This is very true. A time may come when I reject ''Politics'', the ''affairs of the Polis'' or ''City'', entirely.
A war is coming soon, very soon, in which global modern civilization will collapse and the greater part of mankind in many parts of the world will die, of the coming war and the attendant implosion of the world economy. Judgement is not delayed forever, the balance will once again be restored that favors the natural, the organic, the traditional development of existence. Those already closer to that and not to Civilization, those not cut off by an artificial, superfluous, and over-specialized existence, will survive. And even know a renewed measure of happiness and thrive under these changed conditions. The Righteous man is persecuted like Lot was in the midst of Sodom, living amidst the spiritual darkness of the Urban Petrifact. And like him we will be called to come out of the city of the wicked, someday.
Exactly so.
