In their opening argument they have denied that election is an exercise of authority and say that election is only advisory for consistory, not binding. is this legitimate? How could one argue against it? 19. My question about missionaries was actually about domestic missionaries. I can confirm they are not just scammers, but the issue is that they hold dangerous anabaptist views. 20. I’ve been thinking about submitting an application to Patriot Front since I heard you recommend it as a good organization and even more so since their march on the 4th, but as I was looking into the organization, I was a bit dejected by Rousseau’s lack of religion as well as the organizations stated secularism and openness to paganism. I get the sense most of the members are Christians, but what do you make of this less than ideal aspect of Patriot Front as a Christian Nationalist? 21. Quick question if there’s still time. I have heard people use 1 Corinthians 7 as proof of mutual submission. Your thoughts on that? ---

# Transcript ## 1/3 WEBVTT 00:00:00.540 → 00:00:02.880 It is the 10th of July, 2026. 00:00:03.060 → 00:00:04.160 I am Corey J. 00:00:04.160 → 00:00:06.500 Moller, and this is At Any Cost. 00:00:06.500 → 00:00:10.600 This is episode 35, a Q&A episode. 00:00:10.960 → 00:00:19.920 I don’t really have any housekeeping, so I’ll just get straight into the questions, except I will briefly mention, for any eagle-eyed viewers, you notice I have a red line across my face. 00:00:20.520 → 00:00:22.340 I was wearing a hat working in the garden. 00:00:22.340 → 00:00:26.560 So, just to head off any potential questions about that. 00:00:27.500 → 00:00:32.420 It’s very warm here during the day right now, and I am mostly bald, so hats are a must. 00:00:34.460 → 00:00:45.980 Let’s see, question one is from the forum, and then I’ll go to questions from the chat or wherever else, maybe get into some of the backlog. 00:00:47.620 → 00:00:49.620 The angel of the Lord in numbers. 00:00:49.620 → 00:00:56.100 Is the angel of the Lord who appears before Balaam to slay him with the sword on the way to Moab Jesus? 00:00:56.600 → 00:01:05.320 And so, this has come up a number of times, this topic, but the angel of the Lord sometimes in the Old Testament is Christ. 00:01:05.500 → 00:01:08.940 Sometimes it may not be Christ, it may just be an angel. 00:01:09.180 → 00:01:24.600 And basically, how you can tell the difference is if a human being interacts with the angel of the Lord in a worshipful way by worshiping the angel of the Lord or the angel if he is God, those are the two ways you can pretty much tell it’s Jesus. 00:01:25.080 → 00:01:34.300 And I already know the answer to this one because I know the passage well, but I’ll pull it up in numbers and read it just because it’s good to actually read the text. 00:01:34.480 → 00:01:36.280 So, let me pull up. 00:01:38.420 → 00:01:41.440 And that, of course, number is 22. 00:01:43.000 → 00:01:44.740 I think the nets will be fine for this. 00:01:51.342 → 00:01:54.842 So, let us start with, let’s see. 00:02:02.602 → 00:02:04.062 We’ll start with verse 22. 00:02:05.302 → 00:02:10.062 And God was angry with wrath because he went, and the angel of the Lord rose up to oppose him. 00:02:10.242 → 00:02:14.182 And he himself was sitting on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. 00:02:14.582 → 00:02:24.002 And when the donkey saw the angel of God standing opposed in the road, and the sword drawn, then the donkey turned away from the road and kept going into the plain. 00:02:24.382 → 00:02:27.562 And he struck the donkey with his rod to direct it in the road. 00:02:27.962 → 00:02:32.862 And the angel of God stood in the furrows of the vineyards, a fence here and a fence there. 00:02:33.182 → 00:02:41.862 And when the donkey saw the angel of God, it pressed itself against the wall and squeezed by the wall, and he added to whip it again. 00:02:42.302 → 00:02:49.382 And the angel of God proceeded and went on and stood still in a narrow place, in which it was not possible to turn right or left. 00:02:49.742 → 00:02:57.362 And when the donkey saw the angel of God, it settled down under Balaam, and Balaam was angered and kept beating the donkey with the rod. 00:02:57.782 → 00:03:04.782 And God opened the mouth of the donkey and said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have struck me this third time? 00:03:05.082 → 00:03:11.942 And Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, and if I had a dagger in my hand, I would already have stabbed you. 00:03:12.362 → 00:03:18.582 And the donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which you would ride from your youth to this very day? 00:03:20.362 → 00:03:21.682 What have I done to you? 00:03:22.342 → 00:03:23.942 And he said, No. 00:03:26.142 → 00:03:35.842 Now God uncovered the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of God standing opposed in the road and a dagger drawn in his hand, and he bowed down and did obeisance to his face. 00:03:36.222 → 00:03:40.742 And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck your donkey this time? 00:03:41.062 → 00:03:46.242 And behold, I came out to oppose you, because your way was not pretty before me. 00:03:47.182 → 00:03:49.342 And I’ll stop there because that gives us our answer. 00:03:49.342 → 00:03:56.362 And for those who are wondering, the word pretty there, I’ll pull it up in the lexem, so we can just look at that. 00:03:57.882 → 00:03:59.182 Let’s see. 00:04:00.642 → 00:04:13.382 Lexem translates it as appropriate, which the word there is indeed a styos, which can mean pretty or handsome in the Greek, but really in this case, it’s more in the sense of good or right or appropriate. 00:04:14.142 → 00:04:16.682 The nets just decides to translate it as pretty. 00:04:16.782 → 00:04:21.382 But the Angel of the Lord says that they are not worthy of being called before Him. 00:04:22.042 → 00:04:24.202 So, He’s speaking as God. 00:04:24.202 → 00:04:24.982 This is God. 00:04:24.982 → 00:04:27.922 This is Christ here in this particular case. 00:04:27.922 → 00:04:34.782 And that’s how you can go through these instances in the Old Testament and figure out if it is Christ or just an angel. 00:04:35.262 → 00:04:43.542 And the reason that you have Angel of the Lord is serving as the messenger here of God’s message. 00:04:43.542 → 00:04:46.782 He’s God Himself, but He’s also serving in the role as the messenger. 00:04:47.062 → 00:04:51.362 And of course, the underlying word there for angel is just messenger in the Greek. 00:04:51.362 → 00:05:00.302 So, they made a translation choice, and I would say it should be capitalized in the cases where it’s very obviously Christ. 00:05:00.302 → 00:05:01.142 Just didn’t do that. 00:05:01.142 → 00:05:03.462 The nets, like I said before, is kind of academic. 00:05:03.462 → 00:05:05.482 They do some things that are a little weird here and there. 00:05:07.302 → 00:05:10.202 But the brief answer to the question is yes, that’s Christ. 00:05:12.342 → 00:05:17.982 So much for the pacifist Christ that some modern Christians would prefer since he’s here with a sword in his hand. 00:05:23.660 → 00:05:27.180 Question two is on the resurrection. 00:05:28.400 → 00:05:35.760 And I did not have time to go through these before I started streaming today, so I’m reading them for the first time along with all of you. 00:05:37.580 → 00:05:41.300 Hello, Corey, I am 25 year old man from St. 00:05:41.300 → 00:05:42.000 Louis, Missouri. 00:05:42.000 → 00:05:44.620 I recently lost my dog and one of my guinea pigs. 00:05:44.620 → 00:05:51.360 My mother was told in church long ago, when she was a child, that animals don’t go to heaven, and that has affected her. 00:05:51.400 → 00:05:55.140 She is Christian, but I believe others have been told this and are wounded spiritually. 00:05:55.640 → 00:05:58.740 I want to know the church’s teaching on heaven and the final resurrection. 00:05:58.740 → 00:06:01.500 Will everything be restored to life? 00:06:01.980 → 00:06:04.080 And human beings are judged. 00:06:04.080 → 00:06:10.880 Does Christ’s triumph over death mean that death is destroyed utterly in the second coming, and its consequences are undone? 00:06:11.160 → 00:06:17.480 Does behold, I am making everything new, according to Revelation, apply to everything that has ever existed. 00:06:17.800 → 00:06:21.260 I have read Paul’s writings of the resurrection in 1544. 00:06:21.340 → 00:06:22.740 It is sown a natural body. 00:06:22.740 → 00:06:24.280 It is raised a spiritual body. 00:06:24.580 → 00:06:27.180 If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 00:06:27.400 → 00:06:30.900 And it would comfort me and millions of believers to know that we would see our animals again. 00:06:32.240 → 00:06:36.320 So scripture does not explicitly state one way or the other. 00:06:36.320 → 00:06:37.780 I’ll go ahead and start there. 00:06:40.260 → 00:06:47.000 But scripture does not explicitly state, and yet we can draw out what we should actually believe about them. 00:06:47.100 → 00:06:51.100 I do believe that animals will be there in the resurrection. 00:06:51.120 → 00:06:52.920 And I know there’s a little bit of a light on my face. 00:06:52.920 → 00:06:58.900 The sun came out from behind the clouds, and I haven’t installed my new blackout curtain yet. 00:07:03.560 → 00:07:07.620 That which is good cannot be destroyed because destroying it is evil. 00:07:07.640 → 00:07:10.140 And so, God does not destroy that which is good. 00:07:10.140 → 00:07:26.060 Incidentally, this is the reason that hell is eternal, because annihilation can’t be true because to destroy the human essence in terms of what he actually is would be evil because that would be destroying something that is good. 00:07:26.060 → 00:07:28.220 So, God cannot destroy something that is good. 00:07:28.500 → 00:07:30.180 To speak in human terms, of course. 00:07:30.900 → 00:07:32.940 I think the same thing holds for animals. 00:07:32.940 → 00:07:34.820 God’s creation is good. 00:07:35.020 → 00:07:47.260 He will restore them to what they should have been, to what he intended that they won’t have the problems they have here in time, they won’t be mortal, all of the various things that plague us here and now. 00:07:47.260 → 00:07:50.100 I had a dog that died of cancer, one of my golden retrievers. 00:07:50.500 → 00:07:56.240 I believe that I’ll see him again, and he won’t get cancer again, and he won’t die again, because all things will be made new. 00:07:56.740 → 00:08:03.720 And we can also see this in how the Old Testament scripture speaks about the resurrection, the restoration of all things. 00:08:03.720 → 00:08:10.840 First, it’s the restoration of all things, which certainly includes animals, plants, everything else in God’s creation. 00:08:11.380 → 00:08:27.660 And you see in many places, in the Old Testament and elsewhere, creation itself is spoken of as groaning, desiring, or celebrating the restoration of all things, and God making all things new, making things good again. 00:08:28.480 → 00:08:38.400 There are times where you’ll see individuals in the Old Testament saying, this rock is going to testify against you because it has hurt everything you swore you would do for God and then you didn’t. 00:08:38.600 → 00:08:42.420 You can think of Joshua at the end of the Book of Joshua doing that. 00:08:43.240 → 00:08:47.960 So, all of creation will be renewed, and I think that does include our animals. 00:08:47.960 → 00:08:49.080 I firmly believe that. 00:08:49.080 → 00:08:55.340 Like I said, it’s not explicitly stated in scripture, but I believe that we can draw that out from what scripture actually does say. 00:08:55.840 → 00:09:05.480 And I think that ultimately, those who are Gnostic in their beliefs, they don’t really believe in paradise. 00:09:05.480 → 00:09:14.400 They believe that we’re going to spend eternity in heaven, some spiritual realm with God, and that’s not what we’re made to do, because we are not just a soul. 00:09:14.940 → 00:09:17.760 We are body and soul and also mind. 00:09:17.900 → 00:09:19.380 Not to get into that topic right now. 00:09:21.420 → 00:09:35.920 Our final destination, our eternity is spent in the new creation, and that will be a renewed version of this creation, because this creation still is a shadow of what God wanted it to be. 00:09:36.220 → 00:09:40.100 It’s not something totally alien, something totally different. 00:09:40.240 → 00:09:45.140 So, we will have a perfected creation in which we will spend eternity. 00:09:45.700 → 00:09:51.420 And certainly that includes animals and plants and everything, since God made those, they’re good, and He wants them to exist. 00:09:52.280 → 00:09:59.100 So yes, I do believe that we’ll get to see our dogs again, without all the problems that some of them have. 00:09:59.100 → 00:10:06.540 I’ve had a lot of problems, so other than the one that got cancer and the fact that they’re all mortal, they haven’t really had or caused any problems. 00:10:09.000 → 00:10:23.440 Other than Gizmo, of course, for anyone who follows me on various places and sees the Gizmo updates, he is the only other than I inherited one other non-golden I’ve ever acquired intentionally. 00:10:27.960 → 00:10:30.660 Question 3 is about miscegenation. 00:10:36.438 → 00:10:41.178 If someone is half African and half European, should they marry an African or a European? 00:10:41.198 → 00:10:46.598 Does this decision depend upon if the person, the mixed person in this case, is male or female? 00:10:47.238 → 00:10:55.178 My typical advice is that you follow the father’s line as a general overall rule. 00:10:55.838 → 00:11:01.358 However, in the case of half African, half European, you have to follow the father’s line. 00:11:01.358 → 00:11:06.078 And I see this is started making the rounds on X and some other places. 00:11:06.478 → 00:11:15.538 The genetic distance, and there are various different ways you can measure genetic distance, and this is very commonly used in animal studies, for instance, and human beings are animals, right? 00:11:15.718 → 00:11:17.658 Our physical body is mammalian. 00:11:17.878 → 00:11:19.098 You can use the same tools. 00:11:20.738 → 00:11:29.118 Genetic distance between Europeans and Africans is greater than that between like a wolf and a domestic dog. 00:11:29.858 → 00:11:30.818 It’s a big difference. 00:11:31.618 → 00:11:38.058 So it’s something that you’d even be tempted to call a difference in species under some circumstances. 00:11:38.398 → 00:11:45.238 I don’t prefer to use more of the classical definition of species, which essentially, I know that there are edge cases. 00:11:45.238 → 00:11:48.618 So before someone comments on it in the chat, I’m aware of the edge cases. 00:11:49.058 → 00:11:58.998 But the classical definition is if two individuals can reproduce and the offspring is itself fertile, then they are the same species. 00:12:00.238 → 00:12:04.798 Definition, recognize that these definitions are human inventions. 00:12:05.198 → 00:12:10.018 So kind of like verse numbers and chapter numbers in scripture, we’ve added these things. 00:12:10.838 → 00:12:16.018 God created the types, and within those types, then you have subtypes and things like that. 00:12:16.018 → 00:12:22.098 For our purposes, we’ve created terms and a hierarchy that for us to categorize and deal with things. 00:12:22.778 → 00:12:29.558 But in the case, to get back to the question, in the case of someone who is half African and half European, I would say go with the African line. 00:12:30.218 → 00:12:40.118 Because by and large, those differences are so significant, it is going to be difficult for that individual to fit into European society, into a European society. 00:12:40.598 → 00:12:43.678 And the person is always going to feel like a bit of an outcast. 00:12:43.678 → 00:12:46.118 It’s going to be true in the African context as well. 00:12:46.438 → 00:12:51.658 The difference being, in the African context, you’re going to be the top of the pile, right? 00:12:52.098 → 00:12:54.778 You are going to be in the upper echelons of society. 00:12:55.218 → 00:13:05.398 You’re going to be the one who gets to rule over the others, and be in easier position to deal with the consequences of your parents’ decisions. 00:13:05.738 → 00:13:09.418 Not saying the questioner in this case is necessarily the one, but ask in the hypothetical. 00:13:11.058 → 00:13:18.598 Probably going to be an easier case to deal with that when you are at the top of the pile because of it, than at the bottom. 00:13:19.018 → 00:13:29.098 So, for various reasons, some other ones as well, someone who is half African and half European should marry back into Ham’s line and continue on with that. 00:13:35.013 → 00:13:38.693 Question four, I guess, is kind of tangentially related. 00:13:38.733 → 00:13:41.113 My stand on living fossils. 00:13:41.113 → 00:13:48.953 Where do you stand on reports of dinosaurs living in Central Africa and Papua New Guinea, or any other so-called living fossils? 00:13:49.153 → 00:13:53.613 So this is sort of a specific use of the term living fossils. 00:13:53.613 → 00:14:05.653 The more common use of that specific term refers to animals that are very supposedly in the constructed timeline of Earth’s past, and yet still exist. 00:14:06.033 → 00:14:09.733 So that’s what someone usually calls a living fossil, like crocodiles, or living fossil. 00:14:09.733 → 00:14:11.473 You know, they haven’t changed in a very long time. 00:14:12.233 → 00:14:14.433 So part of that is Darwinian evolution. 00:14:14.433 → 00:14:15.973 Part of it’s wrong, part of it’s right. 00:14:16.053 → 00:14:17.333 I’ve gotten into that before. 00:14:19.133 → 00:14:24.693 This is like cryptids, or the equivalent of, I guess, natural cryptids, as it were. 00:14:25.233 → 00:14:30.533 Creatures that are sort of out of time, according to that timeline, but yet living. 00:14:31.133 → 00:14:36.493 I don’t think there really are many, if any, living in, say, the jungles and things like that. 00:14:36.493 → 00:14:39.473 Most of those would have died in the flood, just as a practical matter. 00:14:40.273 → 00:14:47.233 Thing that was out of the ordinary and survived that, humans would have hunted to extinction because it kept killing them in the night. 00:14:47.673 → 00:14:49.393 That’s why there are no lions in Europe now. 00:14:49.733 → 00:14:50.873 There were lions in Europe. 00:14:51.233 → 00:14:53.333 There aren’t because they kept killing people in their beds. 00:14:53.773 → 00:15:01.893 So, as far as this kind of, I guess, type of, maybe there’s some in the ocean. 00:15:02.393 → 00:15:06.373 We’ve explored vanishingly little of the ocean, and we have no idea what’s down there. 00:15:06.593 → 00:15:16.993 We just recently, relatively speaking, figured out that colossal squid are actually a thing, and that the sailors who were telling these tales of squid that destroyed ships weren’t lying. 00:15:17.493 → 00:15:19.713 In some cases, they were exaggerating a little, but not. 00:15:20.413 → 00:15:29.793 So, there could be all sorts of weird stuff hanging out in the ocean, the deep parts, because we haven’t mapped at all, and we certainly don’t have live video feeds in the entirety of the ocean. 00:15:30.393 → 00:15:33.833 But as far as land creatures go, I’m pretty sure most of those are just dead. 00:15:34.773 → 00:15:38.353 I don’t think there’s anything too particularly interesting hanging out in the forest. 00:15:41.093 → 00:15:51.893 And I’ve spoken before, anyone who does sort of tangentially related to your question, anyone who does a lot of camping, hiking, etc., you will eventually run into something weird in the forest. 00:15:52.853 → 00:15:56.093 And sometimes it’s an animal whose call you don’t recognize. 00:15:56.753 → 00:15:58.853 Sometimes it’s something else. 00:16:01.613 → 00:16:18.893 The best advice I can give you is, anytime you go on camping or hiking forums or anything like that and talk to people, you’ll notice that there’s a pretty significant number of individuals who have said, I felt weird and I turned around. 00:16:20.333 → 00:16:23.293 I still haven’t seen anyone say I felt weird and I kept going. 00:16:25.033 → 00:16:26.753 I think the takeaway from that’s pretty obvious. 00:16:26.753 → 00:16:32.953 So, you know, God gave you some amount of common sense, just make sure to exercise it. 00:16:34.893 → 00:16:39.513 There are big animals in the woods, even if there’s no cryptid or anything like that, bears exist. 00:16:40.273 → 00:16:45.473 Bears are dangerous, even the black bears that are less dangerous than certainly grizzlies. 00:16:45.473 → 00:16:50.133 I don’t prefer hiking in places that have grizzlies, even though they’re beautiful. 00:16:51.293 → 00:16:55.793 Although bear spray works, always carry bear spray. 00:16:56.433 → 00:16:57.733 Bear spray works better than a gun. 00:16:58.333 → 00:17:02.793 So tangential advice, but it works for this. 00:17:05.453 → 00:17:09.093 Get into some of the questions from the chat here. 00:17:10.293 → 00:17:18.753 Someone asked about some verses that the Aryans used historically to try to justify things, so I’ll go ahead and copy that. 00:17:24.073 → 00:17:26.133 It says, I am new to the faith. 00:17:26.133 → 00:17:34.233 My question, in light of 1 Corinthians 8, 6, 1 Corinthians 11, 3, and John 1, 18, how are these not Aryanistic? 00:17:34.533 → 00:17:37.073 Could you explain the exegesis and philosophy there? 00:17:37.433 → 00:17:42.473 So, I know which verse is the best one to even pull them up, but I’ll pull them up so we can all look at them. 00:17:43.493 → 00:17:55.553 There are times in Scripture and in the early Church where you see many of the references being to God the Father, and Jesus the Son, and sometimes they leave off the Holy Spirit. 00:17:55.553 → 00:17:57.533 They don’t always speak of the Trinity in full. 00:17:57.933 → 00:18:10.573 In some cases, they emphasize the position of God and Father, and so they’ll use God instead of saying Father, and they’ll speak of the Son, and they’ll speak of the Son as Lord instead of God. 00:18:11.073 → 00:18:17.153 They’re not saying that Jesus isn’t God, because there are plenty of places that explicitly say Jesus is God, right? 00:18:18.053 → 00:18:19.473 Not only that, but Jesus is I. 00:18:21.233 → 00:18:35.453 So, not all of these places are going to be sort of high level or rigorous doctrinal examinations, because some of this stuff is telling you about the faith. 00:18:35.473 → 00:18:38.933 Speaking about the faith, but it’s not a theology textbook in all cases. 00:18:40.593 → 00:18:45.513 You have to know scripture in context, which is always the rule here. 00:18:45.513 → 00:18:46.453 So, let me pull this up. 00:18:47.513 → 00:18:50.773 The first one is 1 Corinthians 8, 6. 00:18:55.913 → 00:19:01.773 So, 1 Corinthians 8, 6, and for some reason, has decided to shrink. 00:19:01.813 → 00:19:03.353 So, let me fix that. 00:19:05.033 → 00:19:07.133 Make it easier for all of you to read. 00:19:11.093 → 00:19:21.833 Yet for us, there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and for whom we exist, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are, through whom we exist. 00:19:22.353 → 00:19:28.233 So, it is still speaking of Christ here as God, because all things exist through him, right? 00:19:28.873 → 00:19:37.993 It’s not wrong to say that all things are from the Father, because the Son is begotten of the Father, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. 00:19:38.493 → 00:19:41.013 So, it’s correct. 00:19:41.013 → 00:19:42.353 This is correct to say this. 00:19:42.373 → 00:19:44.533 What’s being emphasized here is something different, though. 00:19:44.533 → 00:19:47.793 This is an emphasis, and you can see this earlier on, right? 00:19:48.113 → 00:19:50.833 Because it’s speaking of idols and false gods and other things. 00:19:51.193 → 00:19:53.173 This is a condemnation of idolatry. 00:19:53.493 → 00:19:59.573 So, it’s recognizing the Father, God the Father, and actually, this time, it does say God the Father, specifically. 00:20:01.593 → 00:20:05.873 It wouldn’t have to specify if you didn’t have different persons, right? 00:20:05.873 → 00:20:06.833 It would just say God. 00:20:07.593 → 00:20:12.893 And it does that in a few places, but not all places, like here, where it says God and specifies God the Father. 00:20:13.633 → 00:20:18.853 And Lord is interchangeable with God in some places. 00:20:20.213 → 00:20:20.793 That’s what we call him. 00:20:20.793 → 00:20:21.933 We call him the Lord God. 00:20:22.313 → 00:20:23.093 That’s what he is. 00:20:23.093 → 00:20:24.053 That’s who he is. 00:20:24.373 → 00:20:27.173 And so, it is affirming the Godship of Christ here. 00:20:27.173 → 00:20:37.393 It’s also emphasizing that Lordship of Christ in terms of his intercession and his interaction with creation, and the fact that all things were made by and through Christ. 00:20:38.313 → 00:20:41.773 Let me pull up the Corinthians 11.3. 00:20:48.168 → 00:20:53.888 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 00:20:54.328 → 00:21:06.128 Again, this is, this is actually, this one’s more heavily theological because of God with respect to his, I mean, God the Son, of course, with respect to his humanity. 00:21:06.468 → 00:21:10.668 And with respect to his humanity, he is lower than God the Father. 00:21:11.108 → 00:21:16.928 And let me pull up one of the creeds here. 00:21:18.408 → 00:21:22.768 Obviously, the fourth paragraph is what I want here. 00:21:22.768 → 00:21:41.288 So, and just so you know, if you want to pull up one of the creeds, you can go to the [bookofconchord.org](http://bookofconchord.org), and then slash C1, 2, and 3 are the three creeds in the normal order they’re given in Athanasian. 00:21:41.948 → 00:21:51.268 So, the Athanasian creed and paragraph 4, equal to the father as touching his godhead, and inferior to the father as touching his manhood. 00:21:51.268 → 00:21:53.068 That is just standard. 00:21:53.148 → 00:21:58.708 Of course, I see that OBS is being weird and not showing the full page. 00:21:58.708 → 00:21:59.628 Let me try that again. 00:22:01.228 → 00:22:01.848 There we go. 00:22:02.348 → 00:22:06.948 Again, equal to the father as touching his godhead, and inferior to the father as touching his manhood. 00:22:06.948 → 00:22:11.928 This is the standard teaching of the Church, of Scripture, of Christianity all along. 00:22:13.188 → 00:22:18.148 With respect to his humanity, Christ is lesser than God the Father. 00:22:18.828 → 00:22:23.248 With respect, he is equal to God the Father, because they are of one essence. 00:22:25.368 → 00:22:27.068 Let me pull up the next one here. 00:22:27.068 → 00:22:28.468 We have John, what was it? 00:22:28.468 → 00:22:28.968 118. 00:22:35.647 → 00:22:38.167 Swap back over to Lagos. 00:22:43.810 → 00:22:48.130 I might set up some keys here to make this a little easier to swap back and forth. 00:22:51.510 → 00:22:56.490 No one has ever seen God, God the only Son, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known. 00:22:56.490 → 00:23:01.190 So right here in the verse, it says, right? 00:23:01.550 → 00:23:02.350 It’s in the verse. 00:23:02.950 → 00:23:07.310 And again, this is God is spirit. 00:23:07.590 → 00:23:08.930 The Holy Spirit is also spirit. 00:23:08.930 → 00:23:13.450 The Holy Spirit occasionally appears in scripture in, for instance, the form of a dove, right? 00:23:13.750 → 00:23:15.410 But no one has seen God the Father. 00:23:15.910 → 00:23:16.750 No one… 00:23:16.750 → 00:23:18.870 that’s how God operates. 00:23:20.310 → 00:23:22.390 Because God the Son is incarnate. 00:23:22.390 → 00:23:28.130 God the Son has taken the humanity into himself, and so we can see God the Son. 00:23:28.130 → 00:23:30.250 We don’t see God the Father. 00:23:31.110 → 00:23:36.570 The Son can see the Father because the Son is also, as it says here, God, God the only Son. 00:23:36.990 → 00:23:37.890 So this is also… 00:23:37.890 → 00:23:43.530 this is actually one of the things that God teaches that the Son is indeed God, just explicitly states it. 00:23:43.910 → 00:23:47.330 So the Arians would not be particularly wise to use that one. 00:23:48.850 → 00:23:55.090 They tried to use a lot of arguments for that because the Trinity is something that is beyond human reason, right? 00:23:55.490 → 00:24:02.710 The Trinity is something that, as human beings, we cannot fully comprehend this life or probably also the next, right? 00:24:03.250 → 00:24:04.730 But we don’t have to understand everything. 00:24:04.730 → 00:24:15.390 In fact, we should be concerned if everything in our faith were completely understandable to human reason, because God is infinite and we are finite. 00:24:15.630 → 00:24:26.010 And so, if we as a finite could understand everything that is taught about the infinite, that should make us question whether or not we’re speaking of the actual infinite, because we are limited in ways that he is not. 00:24:26.370 → 00:24:31.130 But those verses are very easily explained within the standard bounds of Christian theology. 00:24:36.499 → 00:24:39.039 Let me pull another question here from the chat. 00:24:40.179 → 00:24:49.999 Advice for how, question six, advice for how a white man should navigate advocating for his nation politically while also having non-white nephews and nieces. 00:24:51.699 → 00:24:57.919 So this is going to depend in part, in terms of nuance, but not in terms of really the overall approach. 00:25:00.319 → 00:25:01.199 Really two things. 00:25:01.779 → 00:25:05.739 Are these nephews and nieces adopted aliens? 00:25:06.179 → 00:25:07.199 Because that matters. 00:25:07.459 → 00:25:09.299 Now, there’s a distinction there that I would draw. 00:25:09.299 → 00:25:12.699 There’s a distinction between adopting your own people and adopting aliens. 00:25:13.159 → 00:25:15.339 The former is good, the latter is bad. 00:25:15.779 → 00:25:21.599 So if they’re adopted, you have less of a concern to just be sent back to their homelands. 00:25:21.599 → 00:25:26.039 That’s the eventual goal, and it doesn’t matter that they’ve been adopted. 00:25:26.059 → 00:25:28.899 The legal piece of paper doesn’t change the reality of who and what they are. 00:25:30.279 → 00:25:39.559 If, however, one of your siblings miscegenated, and so they are genetically half related to you, that makes things more complicated. 00:25:40.099 → 00:25:48.359 It goes back to the earlier question, right, about, are we dealing with an individual who’s half Japanese, half Chinese, versus half African? 00:25:48.759 → 00:25:50.639 There will be different ways to deal with that. 00:25:51.359 → 00:25:54.519 I haven’t drawn up, you know, Nuremberg Laws 2.0. 00:25:54.559 → 00:25:56.439 No one has done that, as far as I’m aware. 00:25:57.099 → 00:25:59.099 I don’t really intend to do that in the near future. 00:26:00.859 → 00:26:10.799 There will be some sort of line drawing that will be necessary at some point in the future, and it will take into account that certain peoples are, in fact, more compatible with us than others, right? 00:26:11.179 → 00:26:23.219 Someone who is half Japanese and half white is going to have some trouble picking a side and integrating full of me, but much less so than someone who is half African. 00:26:23.819 → 00:26:42.339 So I’m not saying that someone who is half Japanese has no problems in life, because as anyone who is mixed knows, your parents created problems for you, and they’re very real problems, and the people who tell you you’re perfect the way you are and nothing is wrong, I know those people are lying because you’ve lived it. 00:26:42.839 → 00:26:51.919 And so I get people who DM me all the time about this stuff, but it’s going to depend on sort of what the admixture is there. 00:26:52.239 → 00:27:04.099 And the best thing that you can do is in some way they are family, but they’re less likely that your sibling had married another white person, right? 00:27:05.479 → 00:27:14.559 So if you have, say, white nieces and nephews, you should probably show them preference, because they are more your blood than those who are mixed. 00:27:15.159 → 00:27:17.499 But that doesn’t mean that you treat these individuals badly. 00:27:17.499 → 00:27:23.479 The goal isn’t to, you know, who’s different as much as some people would like. 00:27:24.039 → 00:27:25.019 It’s easier, right? 00:27:25.119 → 00:27:26.439 That’s an easier path. 00:27:27.119 → 00:27:28.399 But that’s not the goal. 00:27:28.399 → 00:27:41.339 The goal is we want our own lands, our own culture, our own people, who are protected from everyone else, and we don’t want the problems that come with having other peoples in our lands. 00:27:41.339 → 00:27:43.859 Not to say nothing of the fact that it’s a curse from God, right? 00:27:44.699 → 00:27:59.099 So, the ideal, and it’s actually a tragedy that there are so many problems, but the ideal would be every group of people, every race, every nation, living in its own territory, worshipping God as best they can, and not fighting with one another. 00:28:00.199 → 00:28:07.359 Reality, we live in this reality that’s fallen, there are many problems, and we have to deal with things as they exist. 00:28:07.359 → 00:28:10.679 It’s realpolitik, right, instead of wishful thinking. 00:28:12.539 → 00:28:19.299 But, to some degree, I can’t give you exact advice, because it’s a fact-specific analysis, right? 00:28:20.619 → 00:28:25.799 It’s a legal term of art, but in the law, there are really two kinds of questions. 00:28:26.099 → 00:28:31.119 There are purely legal questions where it’s, you know, is this a violation of the law? 00:28:31.639 → 00:28:37.879 And it’s one of those where you don’t need to know the facts of the case, you just need to know the thing and the law. 00:28:38.319 → 00:28:44.959 And there are things that are facts where the actual facts, specifically what happened to this instance, truly matters. 00:28:44.959 → 00:28:48.099 And that’s sort of the analysis that needs to be done here. 00:28:48.879 → 00:29:07.359 So, like I said, you don’t treat them poorly, but I think preferencing, if you have full-blooded relatives, I don’t think it’s wrong to preference them, because those are the circles of which we spoke in so many times, and those who are more genetically related are closer to you, and you have a greater duty. 00:29:08.739 → 00:29:11.159 Obviously, yes, this creates problems, right? 00:29:11.699 → 00:29:21.899 Because if you advocate for deporting everyone who is not actually racially American, you aren’t going to have nieces and nephews, potentially. 00:29:22.339 → 00:29:30.979 But you didn’t create this problem, your sibling created this problem, and, yes, it’s going to cause strife for you. 00:29:31.679 → 00:29:33.259 That is just the reality. 00:29:34.299 → 00:29:36.259 Sometimes that’s unavoidable in this life. 00:29:36.259 → 00:29:50.039 So it’s a matter of wisdom, and you have to bring the squabbling and the fighting home, or at least not to the same degree that you would engage of it in public or social media or wherever else. 00:29:50.819 → 00:29:53.959 But that, again, also partly depends on the reality, right? 00:29:54.719 → 00:30:09.579 If you’re dealing with a sibling who has miscegenated and is not going to be with this individual, the individual is African, that’s probably going to cause much greater problems in your home life and in the tranquility and all those things. 00:30:09.779 → 00:30:11.679 And everything that we know comes along with that. 00:30:11.919 → 00:30:13.899 And so in that case, you should behave differently. 00:30:13.899 → 00:30:19.559 Maybe you need to sort of push that person out of your life a little bit for the sake of the others entrusted to you. 00:30:20.699 → 00:30:26.659 So, it’s not an easy question to answer, and it’s certainly not an easy situation in which to live. 00:30:26.659 → 00:30:41.739 But you apply the wisdom that God has given you, you recognize those concentric circles of duty and the greater duty to those who are closer, and do the best you can with the situation to which you not of your own will. 00:30:48.395 → 00:30:52.755 A second question from the same individual, but sort of in a slightly different vein. 00:30:52.755 → 00:30:54.435 It’s on Luke 16, 18. 00:30:54.635 → 00:30:56.515 So I’ll pull up Logos again here. 00:31:04.831 → 00:31:10.551 Let’s see, a couple notes for myself here before I continue. 00:31:15.783 → 00:31:22.003 Okay, per Luke 16, 18, is it always sinful for a non-virgin woman? 00:31:23.263 → 00:31:31.103 So, Luke 16, 18, everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. 00:31:34.603 → 00:31:35.823 The answer is yes and no. 00:31:39.423 → 00:31:42.063 So, this pops up all over the place. 00:31:42.663 → 00:31:49.983 There are times where sin leaves everyone in a position where there’s no good solution, there’s no perfect solution. 00:31:50.843 → 00:32:01.783 So, this is going to depend on the sort of government under which you live, and then, again, a divorced woman. 00:32:02.003 → 00:32:03.603 Why is she divorced? 00:32:03.863 → 00:32:04.643 That matters. 00:32:05.323 → 00:32:07.283 Did her husband abandon her? 00:32:07.283 → 00:32:09.743 Did her husband have an affair? 00:32:11.563 → 00:32:14.763 There’s a difference between a man having an affair and a woman having an affair, right? 00:32:15.023 → 00:32:16.263 Gone over that many times. 00:32:16.663 → 00:32:20.443 Neither case is it good, but in one case, there’s actually no good solution. 00:32:20.443 → 00:32:23.963 In the other case, there really isn’t, other than reconciliation. 00:32:23.963 → 00:32:26.203 But if reconciliation doesn’t happen, there’s no solution. 00:32:27.563 → 00:32:31.463 So, if the woman is divorced for a reason that is morally permissible, right? 00:32:32.003 → 00:32:40.063 Again, adultery, abandonment, basically adultery and things that are tantamount to it, then marrying her, you’re not sinning by doing adultery. 00:32:40.703 → 00:32:44.903 She’s divorced, but she’s divorced for a reason that you’re permitted to divorce. 00:32:45.143 → 00:32:48.303 She’s not the guilty party, the husband’s the guilty party. 00:32:48.383 → 00:32:50.063 The former husband is the guilty party. 00:32:50.543 → 00:32:53.523 Now, let’s say that she is the adulteress, right? 00:32:53.523 → 00:32:57.703 That’s sort of the hard case, as it were, or the easy case, depending on how you look at it. 00:32:58.483 → 00:33:14.343 If she, and so her husband divorced her because she committed adultery, if you live under a society that actually enforces the moral law, adultery is a capital crime, and so the issue never arises. 00:33:15.343 → 00:33:20.263 If you live under a society that doesn’t punish adultery, that’s where this becomes a reality. 00:33:20.263 → 00:33:36.143 Now, you have a bunch of individuals wandering around who the state should have punished, and yet they’ve committed this grave sin, and now they are in a position where, what do they do, and what do other people do in response to them, right? 00:33:36.383 → 00:33:37.443 Should they never marry? 00:33:37.823 → 00:33:38.623 Probably. 00:33:39.163 → 00:33:42.443 But is that going to lead to greater problems if they don’t marry? 00:33:42.723 → 00:33:43.783 Also, probably. 00:33:44.063 → 00:33:53.963 So, we as a society have created this problem for ourselves by not addressing the underlying crime, by not punishing criminals. 00:33:54.903 → 00:33:56.083 That’s the harsh truth. 00:33:56.363 → 00:34:02.203 The harsh truth is you should punish adultery so harshly that it doesn’t matter whether or not you should marry an adulteress. 00:34:03.603 → 00:34:12.323 Under the present circumstances where that has not been done, do I think it’s always a sin to marry a woman who was divorced because of adultery? 00:34:12.743 → 00:34:14.283 I think that it’s not always so. 00:34:14.703 → 00:34:15.583 Is it ideal? 00:34:15.703 → 00:34:16.063 No. 00:34:16.923 → 00:34:19.423 But let’s say, for instance, she’s the adulteress, right? 00:34:20.803 → 00:34:23.403 She can’t be reconciled to him now because he’s remarried. 00:34:23.403 → 00:34:26.623 There’s also the polluted field thing and all of that. 00:34:27.283 → 00:34:30.843 So, what is the best solution if the state doesn’t punish her? 00:34:30.843 → 00:34:34.503 Well, it’s probably for her to get married and then not cheat again. 00:34:35.443 → 00:34:36.903 Is this wise on your part? 00:34:36.903 → 00:34:37.683 Probably not. 00:34:38.383 → 00:34:43.143 Because a woman who was divorced once will probably do it next time as well. 00:34:43.823 → 00:34:46.823 So, is it always sin? 00:34:46.963 → 00:34:48.283 I don’t think always. 00:34:48.283 → 00:34:50.683 Is it almost always unwise? 00:34:50.683 → 00:34:51.483 I think yes. 00:34:51.483 → 00:34:56.943 So, I don’t know if you’re considering this, but I would say definitely be careful. 00:34:56.963 → 00:35:00.323 Use the wisdom that God has give you to maybe reconvene. 00:35:01.103 → 00:35:07.483 But if she is divorced because her husband committed adultery, then it’s fine. 00:35:07.483 → 00:35:08.663 It’s not ideal, right? 00:35:08.663 → 00:35:10.903 This is a situation that should never arise. 00:35:11.303 → 00:35:15.063 He did something evil, but it’s not her fault. 00:35:15.843 → 00:35:18.743 The same thing as, you know, a woman who is a widow, right? 00:35:18.743 → 00:35:21.503 She’s not a virgin because she’s a widow. 00:35:22.203 → 00:35:23.063 That’s not her fault. 00:35:23.063 → 00:35:24.023 Her husband died. 00:35:24.143 → 00:35:26.723 So, we live in an imperfect world. 00:35:26.723 → 00:35:27.943 We live in a fallen world. 00:35:28.343 → 00:35:32.943 Sometimes things, always, things are not going to be perfect or ideal. 00:35:32.943 → 00:35:34.183 We do the best that we can. 00:35:34.983 → 00:35:37.843 So, like I said, you run the basic analysis, right? 00:35:37.843 → 00:35:41.963 Is she divorced because she divorced because he did something? 00:35:42.263 → 00:35:44.283 Is it something that permitted divorce? 00:35:44.483 → 00:35:47.123 And then, is what you are trying to do wise? 00:35:48.803 → 00:36:01.263 And again, we should have a Christian prince who obviates these questions, so we don’t have to talk about this stuff because he did his job, which might be difficult given that we have a leader in this country. 00:36:09.093 → 00:36:18.613 Question eight, do you read the day of the Lord in the prophets as referring to the destruction of Jerusalem alone, the end of the world alone, or each of them depending on the context? 00:36:18.893 → 00:36:22.073 Which is the answer to when Peter quotes him in Acts 2? 00:36:23.493 → 00:36:30.873 So, the answer to this is both, because generally speaking, God likes typology. 00:36:30.913 → 00:36:33.953 I’ve mentioned this many times, and I’ll mention it many more times. 00:36:34.413 → 00:36:36.253 God really likes typology. 00:36:36.253 → 00:36:38.093 It’s all over the place in scripture. 00:36:38.313 → 00:36:41.413 And really, it’s kind of all over the city as well, right? 00:36:42.553 → 00:36:44.913 In a very real sense, for instance, each person, right? 00:36:44.913 → 00:36:48.473 We’re an icon, we’re an image of God, that’s a type of God in creation. 00:36:48.893 → 00:37:05.353 But without getting too deeply into that, the Day of the Lord is prefigured by the destruction of Jerusalem, the wicked city, and then, obviously, then becomes the image of the wicked city that is ultimately destroyed on the Day of the Lord, and the harlot, and all of that. 00:37:06.093 → 00:37:11.313 It’s all symbolism, it’s imagery depicting the wicked world passing away, being destroyed in fire. 00:37:11.873 → 00:37:24.573 So, you have the minor fulfillment of the Day of the Lord, the typical fulfillment with regard to the destruction of Jerusalem, the burning of the temple. 00:37:25.233 → 00:37:26.613 It happened multiple times as well. 00:37:26.613 → 00:37:28.113 This has not happened once, right? 00:37:28.713 → 00:37:33.073 The Babylonians did it, Rome did it, Rome is sort of the one that really did it. 00:37:33.633 → 00:37:35.753 And then God will do it at the end of time. ---

# Transcript ## 2/3 00:37:36.633 → 00:37:47.913 So, the ultimate fulfillment, the ultimate fulfillment, the one that is meant in the fullest sense when it is mentioned is, of course, Judgment Day, the actual return of Christ. 00:37:48.273 → 00:37:51.573 But they are both in view because it’s typology. 00:37:52.753 → 00:37:57.053 But if you want to read it certainly today, you should be reading it. 00:37:57.073 → 00:38:06.013 And yes, keep in mind that historic sac and the destruction of Jerusalem, but it’s really looking forward to the judgment, to the last day. 00:38:07.813 → 00:38:10.293 That’s why it’s the great and terrible day of the Lord, right? 00:38:11.833 → 00:38:18.853 I mean, sure, if you were a Jew, it’s a pretty terrible day of the Lord to be in Jerusalem when the Romans destroyed it. 00:38:22.533 → 00:38:26.473 It’s a little worse, the final day, and also worse to be Jewish. 00:38:26.613 → 00:38:34.873 So the next question, I’ll go ahead and translate it into English, since it’s in German here. 00:38:35.113 → 00:38:36.513 I’ll copy it first. 00:38:37.893 → 00:38:41.813 If I can get, there we go. 00:38:42.453 → 00:38:43.733 Firefox to cooperate. 00:38:47.753 → 00:38:53.393 Question nine, which for some reason copied with HTML markup. 00:38:59.010 → 00:39:04.950 How is the translation in the Septuagint Deutsch? 00:39:06.830 → 00:39:08.370 I read English fluently. 00:39:10.610 → 00:39:15.150 Is it worth the effort and cost to get the Septuagint Deutsch? 00:39:15.150 → 00:39:27.510 So the answer I’m going to say is, go ahead and get it, it’s great, is one of the better translations of the Septuagint that I have found so far. 00:39:27.510 → 00:39:31.810 I’m glad my mic is not fixed so that I can do this, grab this book over here. 00:39:32.210 → 00:39:33.590 This is the Septuagint Deutsch. 00:39:33.590 → 00:39:35.030 I do usually have it on my desk. 00:39:35.030 → 00:39:37.070 I just have it on my other desk over there right now. 00:39:37.710 → 00:39:39.110 It is a good translation. 00:39:39.110 → 00:39:42.190 I have read it so far where I’ve disagreed with anything. 00:39:42.190 → 00:39:43.970 I haven’t read through the whole thing yet. 00:39:44.030 → 00:39:46.810 I do most of my reading in English. 00:39:47.670 → 00:39:48.590 It is my first language. 00:39:48.590 → 00:39:49.650 It is the one I know the best. 00:39:50.470 → 00:39:59.570 But I do like to read the Psalms and some things in the Septuagint Deutsch, and it’s great that it exists. 00:40:00.230 → 00:40:09.630 At least one European language has a good translation available that is an actual functional modern language. 00:40:10.110 → 00:40:10.850 It’s German. 00:40:10.990 → 00:40:12.290 The English one doesn’t exist yet. 00:40:12.290 → 00:40:13.530 I hope that comes around soon. 00:40:13.530 → 00:40:18.130 But if you speak German, if you want to learn German, go ahead and grab this. 00:40:18.130 → 00:40:19.010 It’s great volume. 00:40:20.550 → 00:40:22.730 Something’s going to fall off my desk now that I moved that, though. 00:40:40.846 → 00:40:44.006 And let me make another note for myself here before I continue. 00:40:52.708 → 00:40:59.608 Hey, question 10, I have seen a lot of Eastern Orthodox who are sympathetic to and even supportive of white national socialists. 00:41:00.308 → 00:41:05.988 It appears to me that they are willing to prioritize the white race over their church’s religious beliefs. 00:41:06.228 → 00:41:09.368 Are any of them trustworthy, or should they be treated as enemies? 00:41:09.368 → 00:41:11.328 I’ve listened to the SC episode on EO. 00:41:11.328 → 00:41:16.028 So, there are good men in the EO churches. 00:41:16.028 → 00:41:27.468 I think that, I’ve stated this bluntly before, of course, I think that many of the men who convert to Eastern Orthodox in a Western context are psychologically damaged in some way. 00:41:28.088 → 00:41:30.588 And I think that they’re being honest with themselves, they know that. 00:41:31.148 → 00:41:37.548 Because you don’t go looking for something that is that fundamentally foreign and alien, unless there’s something lacking in you. 00:41:38.568 → 00:41:44.308 So, there are those who convert and then just become absolutely insufferable. 00:41:45.048 → 00:41:46.828 Those men are going to be a problem. 00:41:46.888 → 00:41:49.508 They already are a problem, but they’re going to continue to be a problem. 00:41:49.948 → 00:41:50.908 But are there good men? 00:41:50.908 → 00:41:51.528 Absolutely. 00:41:51.528 → 00:41:52.988 I can think of a few right now. 00:41:52.988 → 00:41:54.908 I’ve spoken with them, I’ve met them in person. 00:41:55.308 → 00:41:58.028 They are doing good work on various projects. 00:41:58.528 → 00:42:02.448 Some of you listening, you may be thinking of the same one I’m thinking of now. 00:42:03.308 → 00:42:05.048 There are good men in the EO churches. 00:42:05.688 → 00:42:09.868 Just the same as I believe there are good men in the Roman churches, right? 00:42:09.868 → 00:42:10.788 I am a Lutheran. 00:42:10.788 → 00:42:15.288 I strongly, I vehemently disagree with what the Roman Church teaches. 00:42:15.288 → 00:42:22.808 I think that what the Roman Church teaches, with regard to works, part of justification is abhorrent. 00:42:23.068 → 00:42:24.928 It is heresy of the highest order. 00:42:25.628 → 00:42:28.208 But I think there are good Christians in the Roman Catholic churches. 00:42:29.548 → 00:42:36.268 We’ve gone over this many times, and it is called felicitous inconsistency. 00:42:36.368 → 00:42:41.548 It’s called felicitous inconsistency is the technique that the Churches use for this. 00:42:41.548 → 00:42:49.108 And I will put this into the show notes, because it’s a good thing for people to go and read what it is that we mean by that. 00:42:49.948 → 00:42:56.928 And just to explain it briefly, we look at it as there are many churches out there that teach falsely. 00:42:57.228 → 00:43:00.828 They have this doctrine wrong. 00:43:00.828 → 00:43:03.628 They teach something about the faith that is wrong. 00:43:03.628 → 00:43:05.528 In some cases, very big, right? 00:43:05.528 → 00:43:07.668 In the Roman Catholic case, it’s justification they get wrong. 00:43:07.668 → 00:43:08.588 It’s the core of the faith. 00:43:08.588 → 00:43:10.828 It’s the article on which the church stands or falls. 00:43:11.388 → 00:43:15.668 That’s not to say other things aren’t important, but it’s literally the core of the faith, and they get it wrong. 00:43:16.928 → 00:43:36.948 But Felicitous says that despite the false teaching of those churches, ultimately, in their hearts, due to the fact that God has given them the free gift of faith, they rely on Christ and His completed work, and the false thing that their church teaches is not going to damn them is ultimately they rely on Christ. 00:43:37.288 → 00:43:40.808 That’s what we believe of many of them, all of them. 00:43:41.788 → 00:43:43.468 I hold the same thing about the EO. 00:43:44.148 → 00:43:50.988 The stuff that Palamas teaches is rank heresy, and I don’t know how anyone can read it and make any other conclusion. 00:43:50.988 → 00:43:52.268 I hated reading his stuff. 00:43:52.268 → 00:43:54.408 It was like reading something that was written in hell. 00:43:55.528 → 00:44:01.948 But I believe there are good men in those churches, and I believe they’re Christian, but I will see them again in paradise. 00:44:02.268 → 00:44:11.608 I would prefer that they convert to some other traditional form of Christianity instead of that, particularly because it’s such a LARP in the Western context. 00:44:11.608 → 00:44:12.728 It’s alien to us. 00:44:12.728 → 00:44:16.488 Yes, I know, we’ve had some of them up in Alaska for a while. 00:44:17.128 → 00:44:17.688 Fine. 00:44:18.488 → 00:44:21.348 It has never been in the United States. 00:44:21.608 → 00:44:24.528 It has always had at the most a very tiny presence. 00:44:24.528 → 00:44:25.828 It is alien to the West. 00:44:25.828 → 00:44:28.588 It’s called Eastern Orthodoxy. 00:44:29.168 → 00:44:30.188 Right there in the name. 00:44:30.908 → 00:44:33.328 So, are they all enemies? 00:44:33.548 → 00:44:33.908 No. 00:44:34.528 → 00:44:35.728 Are some of them enemies? 00:44:35.828 → 00:44:54.148 Yes, because they have decided to be so, because they have this entire identity, this adopted alien version of Christianity, and they just constantly attack their previous beliefs, their previous faith, and all of the good Christian men in those churches. 00:44:54.608 → 00:44:58.388 So, the answer is that it’s mixed. 00:44:58.828 → 00:45:04.028 But many of them are not, and I would be glad to have them on our side, and I hope that they stay that way. 00:45:05.248 → 00:45:15.628 Again, I would prefer they convert to something else, but as long as they are Christian, it’s better than the alternatives, even if I don’t think that certainly their church is ideal. 00:45:23.133 → 00:45:23.873 Let’s see. 00:45:29.693 → 00:45:32.053 A related question, a difficult one. 00:45:32.053 → 00:45:37.133 Question 11, and there’s sort of a little follow up here before I’ll copy and save that as well. 00:45:40.253 → 00:45:45.013 Navian state churches, and certainly this will apply to some of our other brothers and sisters over in Europe. 00:45:45.013 → 00:45:46.373 It’s not just the Scandinavians. 00:45:46.373 → 00:45:48.393 The Germans, for instance, have some of the same problems. 00:45:49.213 → 00:45:56.413 Regarding Scandinavian state churches, because so much of the apostasy is directly imposed by our wicked governments, what would you suggest? 00:45:56.793 → 00:45:59.453 I’m really reluctant to just abandon the state churches. 00:46:00.313 → 00:46:09.313 And some of the things that they impose, for instance, as noted here, forcing the churches to accept female priests and homosexual marriage, so called. 00:46:10.673 → 00:46:12.893 And they do that even against the independent churches. 00:46:13.493 → 00:46:17.533 In the German context, you have Selk, right? 00:46:17.533 → 00:46:19.073 Or Zelk, however you want to pronounce that. 00:46:20.193 → 00:46:20.693 Okay. 00:46:21.093 → 00:46:26.573 But it’s not perfect, it’s better than a lot of others, it’s made some compromises. 00:46:27.253 → 00:46:30.413 But that’s sort of the best option for those in the German context. 00:46:31.113 → 00:46:35.533 I’m sure there are equivalents, I know there are in some of the Scandinavian countries, but not all. 00:46:36.253 → 00:46:44.573 I think that in many cases, you’re going to have to do the same thing many times for those in the American context, start a home church. 00:46:45.773 → 00:46:58.353 And the goal would be, it’s maybe a little more difficult with state churches, but the goal here certainly is to have the home church grow enough that you can take over a building from a collapsing false church. 00:46:58.853 → 00:47:03.713 Because for example, makes a lot of their money for their budget by selling old buildings. 00:47:04.253 → 00:47:09.273 Huge opportunity for a faithful church to get a nice building at a decent price. 00:47:10.853 → 00:47:20.973 In the European context, and particularly with regard to state churches, that’s going to be more difficult, because you almost have to take over the state churches. 00:47:21.313 → 00:47:28.773 So I think that the home churches may be a longer term solution out of just sheer necessity in the European context. 00:47:29.193 → 00:47:31.373 I don’t think that you’re going to be able to avoid that. 00:47:31.773 → 00:47:41.433 So if you can find one of the relatively independent smaller churches that is faithful, that’s great. 00:47:41.433 → 00:47:45.933 It’s always better to have the camaraderie and the decent-sized church. 00:47:45.933 → 00:47:49.113 Don’t forsake the gathering together of the saints, so on and so forth. 00:47:49.713 → 00:47:59.553 But if the church is going to burden your conscience, if they are going to force you to accept things that are wicked, then the home church is the way to go, because it’s the best way to stay faithful. 00:48:10.300 → 00:48:11.700 Question 12. 00:48:12.040 → 00:48:14.620 Is this a heretical statement? 00:48:14.660 → 00:48:22.860 Race mixing is sin per se via the fourth and fifth commandments, and destruction because it is the destruction of one or more bloodlines. 00:48:22.860 → 00:48:30.520 And so I don’t know precisely which numbering you’re using, but I assume you’re going for honor thy father and thy mother, and thou shalt not commit murder. 00:48:31.880 → 00:48:33.280 I presume we’re using that numbering. 00:48:34.680 → 00:48:37.260 I mean, you could also bring up theft, realistically, if you wanted to. 00:48:37.940 → 00:48:41.520 I don’t think that you can call it a sin, gone over this before. 00:48:41.520 → 00:48:49.780 However, I think it comes with the enormous caveat, because usually when I’ve been answering that question, it’s been just abstracted out to a purely theological question. 00:48:50.440 → 00:48:56.560 Under present circumstances, I think that miscegenation is virtually always a sin. 00:48:57.040 → 00:49:13.240 And that is because it is virtually a sin, because at least one of the parties to that marriage, and we’ll be generous here and say it’s a marriage, is doing it out of hatred for his or her own bloodline, for his or her own race, and that’s sinful. 00:49:13.480 → 00:49:18.240 And so the desire to do the thing is sinful, the thing is sinful. 00:49:18.540 → 00:49:20.880 I think that’s virtually the case these days. 00:49:21.400 → 00:49:26.660 So like I’ve said before, give the sort of easiest example, right? 00:49:26.740 → 00:49:28.340 Abstract it out, historical. 00:49:28.800 → 00:49:53.360 If a European man had decided in whatever century you want to pick, not modern, but centuries ago, that he really wanted to convert the to Christianity, he really wanted to convert the Koreans to Christianity, and he went there and married a local woman, and then his line continued to marry back into that population, I think that would have been morally permissible. 00:49:54.320 → 00:50:04.920 Should you do it today, given everything that we know about genetics, and incompatibility, and organs, and mental illness, and psychological problems, and the list just goes on and on and on? 00:50:05.220 → 00:50:09.280 No, I think today is utterly unjustifiable and should not be done. 00:50:09.980 → 00:50:14.080 And that is particularly true when you’re talking about greater distances, right? 00:50:14.080 → 00:50:17.140 So for instance, the African and the European, so that’s the greatest distance. 00:50:17.820 → 00:50:19.560 I think that it is always sinful. 00:50:20.200 → 00:50:23.980 I don’t think you can find circumstances under which it is not going to be sinful. 00:50:24.300 → 00:50:35.920 It is more wicked in some cases than others, but I would not be willing to say that it is per se sinful, because I don’t think the thing in itself, absent the circumstances, is sinful. 00:50:35.920 → 00:50:38.860 And so, right, the difference here is per se versus per quote. 00:50:39.180 → 00:50:41.320 Per se, on the facts. 00:50:41.580 → 00:50:54.900 And so I think that it is per quote sinful, but in reality, as a practical matter, it’s basically always sinful today, because of the reality of the circumstances and the intent of the individuals who would be doing it. 00:51:05.652 → 00:51:09.972 Let’s see, question 13, and then I need to renumber some things here. 00:51:13.592 → 00:51:23.052 For non-Europeans who have been in America for generations, do you recommend they stay and marry within their own race and return back to the country of their ethnicity? 00:51:23.672 → 00:51:28.732 They should return home, because we should live among our own. 00:51:28.732 → 00:51:30.432 That is how God designed us to live. 00:51:30.432 → 00:51:36.752 It’s obvious from the fact that’s how things work if you just reproduce naturally. 00:51:36.752 → 00:51:38.212 You’re going to reproduce people who look like you. 00:51:38.212 → 00:51:39.512 You’re going to create a society. 00:51:40.992 → 00:51:52.492 And it is harmful to have aliens in your presence, because there’s just a thousand different things that are harmed by having people who are not your people in your lands. 00:51:52.792 → 00:51:57.032 And living in lands of a foreign people is also harmful to the individual. 00:51:57.432 → 00:52:01.352 Exile was a punishment in the pages of scripture. 00:52:01.952 → 00:52:11.272 When God punished, we’ll say, for instance, when he punished Judah with the Babylonian exile, having to live among foreigners was a curse. 00:52:11.692 → 00:52:14.512 Having to have foreigners live among you is a curse. 00:52:14.832 → 00:52:26.512 And so, those who are living in nations of foreigners, their home lands and live there, that’s how it should be, that’s the way, that’s the goal, that’s the way things should be. 00:52:27.172 → 00:52:29.252 Now, obviously, there’s some considerations, right? 00:52:29.252 → 00:52:31.272 You can’t just pick up and leave tomorrow. 00:52:31.272 → 00:52:33.132 There’s logistical concerns. 00:52:33.132 → 00:52:34.252 I recognize that. 00:52:34.932 → 00:52:51.272 But given the way that things are trending, I think it’s better to do it sooner, because the amount of time to plan it and do it in a way that is orderly and optimal may narrow as the political landscape and the political discourse changes. 00:52:51.812 → 00:52:54.772 But yes, people should return to their own homelands. 00:52:55.772 → 00:53:00.452 I don’t think it’s wrong to have, you know, tourism in some cases depends on the way you’re involved. 00:53:00.832 → 00:53:04.592 You don’t want tourists from certain areas, but some from other countries are certainly fine. 00:53:05.112 → 00:53:10.272 But yes, where people should actually live, should be in their own lands among their own people. 00:53:21.900 → 00:53:27.680 I do not know if I will get to all of the questions in the chat this week, because there are a lot of them. 00:53:27.680 → 00:53:39.360 I will try to copy them into my ongoing and lengthening notes, but answer a few more questions, I think. 00:53:40.240 → 00:53:47.620 And 14, what are your thoughts on financially supporting missionaries who are outside traditional Protestantism? 00:53:47.640 → 00:53:50.780 And apparently in this case, he’s actually asking about Baptists. 00:53:51.440 → 00:53:55.080 I know that makes Baptists mad sometimes, but Baptists are not traditional Protestants. 00:53:55.520 → 00:53:58.700 You are the edge of the radical Reformation. 00:54:01.380 → 00:54:12.420 I think for supporting missionaries generally, it’s going to depend on what it is they’re doing and why, and could this be done in a better way by someone else? 00:54:13.120 → 00:54:47.220 So historically, and the reason to bring up the same thing I mentioned in the previous question, really more question 12 than question 13, but the man historically, the European man, who went to some Asian country and worked as a missionary there and maybe intermarried among the people, etc., etc., part of the reason that he did that is you just logistically couldn’t bring, say, Japanese over and train them, or send them materials or set up a university for them. 00:54:47.660 → 00:54:49.180 That’s not a problem today. 00:54:50.280 → 00:54:59.480 We should be supporting, if we’re supporting these individuals working to convert people to Christianity, we should support their own people in doing that. 00:55:00.220 → 00:55:06.180 A Korean missionary should be trying to convert the Koreans to Christianity, because there are Korean missionaries. 00:55:06.720 → 00:55:08.120 There are Korean Christians. 00:55:08.580 → 00:55:12.180 A Japanese Christian should try to convert the Japanese to Christianity. 00:55:12.620 → 00:55:20.780 It should be their own people doing it these days, because we just don’t have to send our people to do it, and it’s not even that anymore. 00:55:20.780 → 00:55:22.120 It causes problems. 00:55:22.500 → 00:55:34.020 So, as far as supporting missionaries go, I wouldn’t even support most foreign missions at this point, because I think by and large, it’s a tourism industry, and it’s doing more harm than good. 00:55:34.340 → 00:55:42.920 It’s reinforcing false beliefs about racial differences, about the reality of how we should interact with foreign peoples. 00:55:43.500 → 00:55:45.480 It just causes a lot of problems. 00:55:45.500 → 00:55:47.740 I don’t think it’s something we should still be doing. 00:55:48.500 → 00:55:51.060 Incidentally, I also think the Great Commission was already fulfilled. 00:55:51.520 → 00:55:53.260 And that is a traditional Lutheran belief. 00:55:53.340 → 00:55:59.560 Lutherans who believed it was fulfilled in the time of the apostles, it was certainly fulfilled during, say, colonialism. 00:56:00.520 → 00:56:03.840 So I don’t think we even have that obligation anymore. 00:56:04.080 → 00:56:07.080 Should we still want other peoples to convert to Christianity? 00:56:07.080 → 00:56:09.560 Of course, because we want everyone to convert to Christianity. 00:56:10.340 → 00:56:12.420 But we can do that by training their own people. 00:56:12.980 → 00:56:19.220 The exception would be, there are obviously races, there are groups of people who can’t produce their own… 00:56:20.900 → 00:56:23.020 They need to be colonized, if anything. 00:56:23.400 → 00:56:28.080 Don’t send foreign missionaries, so in this case, our people over there. 00:56:28.540 → 00:56:29.780 That’s not going to work. 00:56:29.780 → 00:56:31.140 It’s going to cause problems. 00:56:32.120 → 00:56:32.920 Don’t do that. 00:56:33.220 → 00:56:33.960 So, I would not… 00:56:34.340 → 00:56:36.580 I just wouldn’t support foreign missions at this point, period. 00:56:37.840 → 00:56:45.900 Unless you’re talking about foreign missions, of foreigners who are evangelizing their own people, but that’s not really a foreign mission, right? 00:56:45.900 → 00:56:49.800 That’s a domestic mission in a foreign country. 00:56:50.340 → 00:56:54.920 So, that I would support, sending our people over to other countries? 00:56:55.780 → 00:56:56.040 No. 00:56:57.520 → 00:57:02.800 Unless, of course, you’re calling it, say, you’re saying, it’s a foreign country because it’s France. 00:57:03.100 → 00:57:05.120 I would be fine with that, support a French missionary. 00:57:05.120 → 00:57:09.180 But again, you could support French Christians and have them do it. 00:57:09.380 → 00:57:11.320 You don’t need to send Americans over to do that. 00:57:11.320 → 00:57:16.220 The French are perfectly capable of teaching Christianity, as are the Germans, the British, and the Scottish. 00:57:33.470 → 00:57:34.610 Question 15. 00:57:35.510 → 00:57:43.790 If the new earth is just a re-creation of the Eden situation, in the new resurrection, as it clearly existed in Eden. 00:57:43.790 → 00:57:58.190 So, I don’t know if I want to just direct you to my previous comments on this, but I guess I’ll go over it again, because it’s a question that comes up a lot, and it’s worth revisiting. 00:58:00.310 → 00:58:06.970 Christ speaks of marriage, right, in the new creation. 00:58:07.430 → 00:58:20.650 First off, remember that he’s speaking to the Sadducees, and also Christ enjoys sarcasm, and he enjoys people. 00:58:20.650 → 00:58:23.590 So, you know, people who think that mocking someone is always wrong, right? 00:58:23.590 → 00:58:24.770 Oh, you can’t mock someone. 00:58:26.630 → 00:58:27.830 So, Christ mocks people. 00:58:28.210 → 00:58:30.270 So, God mocks people. 00:58:30.270 → 00:58:32.670 If you think you can’t mock someone, you better get over yourself. 00:58:33.310 → 00:58:41.870 So, what he says specifically, right, is that they neither marry nor are given in marriage. 00:58:42.430 → 00:58:44.330 Does he say there is no marriage? 00:58:46.510 → 00:58:47.270 The answer is no. 00:58:47.270 → 00:58:48.730 He doesn’t say there’s no marriage. 00:58:49.110 → 00:58:52.050 He says that they neither marry nor are given in marriage. 00:58:52.930 → 00:58:54.570 So, there are two ways you can interpret this. 00:58:55.030 → 00:58:58.870 And I think that it’s completely ridiculous when… 00:58:58.870 → 00:58:59.270 I may as well… 00:59:00.230 → 00:59:01.790 I’ve got it on my screen, so I may as well pull it up. 00:59:02.150 → 00:59:11.930 I think it’s completely ridiculous when people take from this that marriage doesn’t exist, because the creation of male and female doesn’t make any sense if marriage no longer exists. 00:59:12.790 → 00:59:14.090 Why would you have male and female? 00:59:14.650 → 00:59:23.050 Now, granted, there were some very weird cultic groups in the early centuries that said, we’ll become men, and that’s why marriage doesn’t exist. 00:59:23.450 → 00:59:34.730 They were carrying that over from the ancient Greek philosophers who thought that women were basically just extremely damaged men, and that everyone in their version of paradise would be male. 00:59:35.870 → 00:59:42.390 It’s fringe groups in both cases, but at any rate, you have this question trying to trap him, right? 00:59:42.390 → 00:59:49.390 We have the brother who dies, and then his wife, Leverett marriage, you have the second, the third, blah, blah, blah, down to the seventh, they all die. 00:59:50.030 → 00:59:52.650 And then, whose wife will she be? 00:59:53.790 → 01:00:06.750 Christ mocks them with his answer, like I said, you are wrong because you know neither the scripture nor God, for in the resurrection, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 01:00:07.150 → 01:00:11.870 As for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God? 01:00:11.870 → 01:00:12.810 So on and so forth. 01:00:13.330 → 01:00:17.750 So I think marriage still exists, I think you just don’t marry and you aren’t given in… 01:00:17.750 → 01:00:21.930 And the distinction there is a man, woman is given in marriage, a man marries. 01:00:23.450 → 01:00:24.710 We should maintain that distinction. 01:00:24.910 → 01:00:26.090 It’s a good thing to maintain. 01:00:26.090 → 01:00:34.570 It gets people in the right mindset of understanding the distinction between men and women, the difference between the sexes, particularly with regard to marriage, where it’s sort of salient. 01:00:35.330 → 01:00:42.290 But I think marriage exists, but I think that it is the person who is perfect for you. 01:00:42.710 → 01:00:48.310 You are married, you don’t marry, you aren’t given in marriage, because that is the state for eternity. 01:00:48.670 → 01:01:10.410 I think that is how it’s going to be, because I think that lines up with marriage being a good thing, it lines up with the design of male and female, and God isn’t going to do something that was so important that when he spoke of Adam in the garden, Adam, who walked with God, spoke to him face to face, God said it’s not good for man to be alone. 01:01:11.230 → 01:01:14.110 That’s how important having a wife and how important God viewed marriage. 01:01:14.550 → 01:01:16.330 So, I don’t think it’s going to pass away. 01:01:16.330 → 01:01:23.550 I think he’s just mocking the Sadducees and hyping up in what he said, but you have to work for it a little bit. 01:01:24.110 → 01:01:34.850 So, I think the people who try to take this and say, oh, well, there’s no marriage in paradise, are completely insane and don’t understand anything about God or human nature. 01:01:35.670 → 01:01:37.030 I think they’re ultimately Gnostic. 01:01:37.070 → 01:01:46.210 I think they’re the kind of people who think that, like, sex is I cked out, and so they think that in the resurrection we’ll just be genderless or something. 01:01:46.690 → 01:01:47.790 It’s completely absurd. 01:01:47.790 → 01:01:51.250 It’s ultimately Gnostic, and I think it’s wicked to believe that way. 01:01:51.870 → 01:01:54.770 So, obviously, yes, it requires some exegesis. 01:01:54.770 → 01:02:05.950 It’s not bluntly or blatantly stated, but I think it’s pretty obvious to read scripture enough that you kind of understand what Christ is doing when he’s replying to different groups. 01:02:25.332 → 01:02:31.032 I am going to collect a couple of questions here for next time, because I don’t think I’m going to answer them this time. 01:02:31.032 → 01:02:33.772 Let me see if I can pull out something that’s a little shorter. 01:02:35.532 → 01:02:36.852 Answer a few more, maybe. 01:02:41.272 → 01:02:45.512 Just trying to add things to my list so that I don’t miss them for next time. 01:03:00.363 → 01:03:01.783 A question about Vlad the Impaler. 01:03:01.783 → 01:03:03.303 I think I’ll save that one for next time. 01:03:05.023 → 01:03:11.263 That’s always fun to discuss, but I don’t think that I know enough about the specific question to answer it right now. 01:03:17.126 → 01:03:22.086 Someone asked about, actually, I’ll just make this paste this into my show notes. 01:03:22.246 → 01:03:22.906 Question 16. 01:03:23.566 → 01:03:27.406 What are your thoughts on the July 4th Patriot Front footage going viral? 01:03:27.406 → 01:03:28.366 I think it’s a good thing. 01:03:29.266 → 01:03:32.566 I’ve said before, I think that they are doing good work. 01:03:32.966 → 01:03:34.306 I think that they are a good group. 01:03:36.246 → 01:03:38.666 I think that they have a good approach. 01:03:38.666 → 01:03:47.206 I think that folk, the Americana, as it were, is an essential part of any successful movement in the American context. 01:03:47.446 → 01:03:56.586 I recently published an article about, July 4th, of course, about symbols and the importance of symbols and things like that. 01:03:56.926 → 01:04:05.886 And so I’ll add that to the show and go read that since it touches on this particular topic, right? 01:04:06.206 → 01:04:10.446 There are symbols that matter that we need to have, and one of those is indeed the American flag. 01:04:10.446 → 01:04:20.506 And I think it’s very important to, I don’t know why OBS refuses to load quickly. 01:04:20.506 → 01:04:21.666 It always cuts it off. 01:04:21.666 → 01:04:25.386 Let me try and get the full view here for people. 01:04:28.066 → 01:04:28.706 There we go. 01:04:29.106 → 01:04:35.366 I don’t know why it has that problem, resolution, but I think that it has to be part of the American nationalist movement. 01:04:35.366 → 01:04:39.486 It, I don’t think we can abandon the flag just because people have done evil. 01:04:41.206 → 01:04:47.306 You can’t abandon the symbols of your forefathers just because bad things have been done with them, or evil men have flown them. 01:04:47.706 → 01:04:48.946 That’s completely ludicrous, right? 01:04:48.946 → 01:04:59.706 And the example that I give in the article, and I think one that should certainly resonate with this audience, there are plenty of evil churches that still use the crucifix, the cross. 01:05:00.726 → 01:05:07.026 I don’t like the Christian flag that much, but the symbols of Christianity are still used by wicked men. 01:05:07.286 → 01:05:10.126 It doesn’t mean that we abandon them because wicked men are using them. 01:05:10.126 → 01:05:14.586 It means we reclaim them and we stop the wicked men from using them. 01:05:15.306 → 01:05:16.666 So, I think that they’re doing good things. 01:05:20.486 → 01:05:23.026 Someone asked me, apparently, there’s a pop quiz. 01:05:23.026 → 01:05:29.186 I don’t know if it’s a pop quiz for me or for someone else, but it’s asking, which state’s system is not based on common law? 01:05:29.186 → 01:05:33.486 And, of course, it’s Louisiana because they inherited their legal system from the French, so… 01:05:35.706 → 01:05:38.346 But, I don’t know if that was for the chat or for me. 01:05:38.586 → 01:05:39.546 I won’t make that one of the- 01:05:58.741 → 01:06:01.061 I’ve answered this one briefly. 01:06:01.381 → 01:06:05.621 What issues do you have with Wells and someone who’s not happy with the LCMS? 01:06:07.221 → 01:06:08.381 They’re both a mess right now. 01:06:08.601 → 01:06:17.081 For those who don’t know, the two really conservative synods of Lutherans in the American context are the LCMS and Wells, WLS. 01:06:18.361 → 01:06:20.941 So, the issue with Wells is a political issue. 01:06:21.381 → 01:06:29.061 They get the doctrine, the theology of the Office of the Ministry wrong, and they do that in part for historical reasons. 01:06:29.061 → 01:06:30.781 It’s one of those things where groups split. 01:06:30.781 → 01:06:42.261 Sometimes they say it’s for this reason, and then they double down into error because they want to have some sort of split, even though their split wasn’t a good one. 01:06:43.001 → 01:06:44.701 Wells did that with the Office of the Ministry. 01:06:45.581 → 01:06:53.381 I think the EO did that with the Filioque, because the fact that the Spirit proceeds from the Sun is obviously true from Scripture. 01:06:53.721 → 01:07:01.501 They didn’t like the way that that was added to the creed, because the Western Church just didn’t like them and involving them. 01:07:01.961 → 01:07:07.621 So was there a sort of structural issue with how it was done? 01:07:07.761 → 01:07:14.281 Sure, we didn’t do it the right way through the right channels, but the doctrine is still right, and that’s what ultimately matters there. 01:07:14.921 → 01:07:24.061 But for Wells, the issue is going to be that if Wells goes up fully in Wells, they will do it faster and more thoroughly than the LCMS. 01:07:24.381 → 01:07:27.621 So maybe you find a good congregation. 01:07:28.221 → 01:07:29.601 It’s kind of like the LCMS, right? 01:07:29.601 → 01:07:31.941 There are good congregations, there are bad congregations. 01:07:31.941 → 01:07:35.221 If you have a good one near you, great, go ahead and attend. 01:07:35.421 → 01:07:40.781 The fact that they’re wrong in the office of the ministry, the theology of that, really doesn’t help at all. 01:07:40.961 → 01:07:42.301 They probably won’t even teach on it. 01:07:43.001 → 01:07:47.561 It’s really a question for, you know, pastors and theologians and the seminary. 01:07:47.561 → 01:07:52.121 So I think it’s fine attending at a Wells Church if you happen to have a good one near you. 01:07:53.921 → 01:07:55.341 Take a sip of my drink, actually. 01:08:03.163 → 01:08:05.223 Since it’s sitting over there, it’s not just window dressing. 01:08:11.797 → 01:08:16.797 I’m going to leave the question about Communism until next time because that is going to be involved. 01:08:17.277 → 01:08:23.017 I know that I am collecting a list of questions, but eventually I will make time to answer them. 01:08:46.735 → 01:08:47.615 Okay, I’ll answer it. 01:08:48.815 → 01:08:50.375 The chat scrolled, okay, there we go. 01:08:51.115 → 01:08:55.855 I was copying a two-part question, and the chat scrolled on me, and I couldn’t find the second part for a second. 01:08:55.895 → 01:08:56.695 Question 18. 01:08:57.675 → 01:09:02.595 My church consistory is trying to email voting for the election of office bearers. 01:09:04.175 → 01:09:15.435 In their opening argument, they have denied that election is an exercise of authority and say that election is only advisory for consistory, not binding. 01:09:15.895 → 01:09:17.255 Is this legit? 01:09:18.455 → 01:09:19.195 It’s absurd. 01:09:19.195 → 01:09:22.935 So how could one argue against it? 01:09:22.935 → 01:09:28.915 So your fundamental problem here, right, is that they get headship wrong. 01:09:29.055 → 01:09:33.915 And if they get headship wrong, they are not going to agree with you on really anything. 01:09:34.395 → 01:09:37.595 And I assume that you probably have a lot of baby boomers. 01:09:37.595 → 01:09:39.275 This is generally how this goes. 01:09:40.095 → 01:09:43.655 It would be very difficult to convince that they’re wrong because they think they’re always right. 01:09:45.755 → 01:09:48.395 So, can you mount a strong argument? 01:09:48.395 → 01:09:49.035 Absolutely. 01:09:49.035 → 01:09:57.335 There are quite sound arguments, easy to follow logically, against permitting women to vote in anything in the church. 01:09:57.855 → 01:10:02.875 And are they going to be persuaded by reason? 01:10:03.515 → 01:10:04.895 I think the answer is probably no. 01:10:05.395 → 01:10:09.335 If they can be persuaded by reason, then by all means you can bring up any number of things, right? 01:10:09.895 → 01:10:11.575 What does God tell women to do in the churches? 01:10:11.975 → 01:10:12.735 Be silent. 01:10:13.495 → 01:10:14.775 Does that permit them to vote? 01:10:14.995 → 01:10:15.355 No. 01:10:16.535 → 01:10:21.335 So, what happens when you elect a leader? 01:10:21.635 → 01:10:25.635 You’re electing the person who will exercise authority on behalf of the group. 01:10:26.235 → 01:10:31.615 Well, if you are voting for him, then all you are doing is abstracting that out one step. 01:10:31.855 → 01:10:37.295 And so, those who vote for the leader are exercising that leadership by proxy. 01:10:37.735 → 01:10:43.875 And so, yes, indeed, you are already wrongfully, if you are a woman and you are voting in the church. 01:10:45.215 → 01:10:59.035 Now, as an aside, if your church has voting and permits women to vote, then by all means, you should vote exactly how your husband tells you, because otherwise, you’re throwing away a vote that could otherwise be spent usefully, right? 01:11:00.335 → 01:11:07.895 In politics, wives should follow their husbands when it comes to voting, because if they just abstain, that’s foolish, you’re throwing away the opportunity. 01:11:08.535 → 01:11:09.875 At least at the local level, right? 01:11:09.875 → 01:11:11.115 Local elections can matter. 01:11:12.175 → 01:11:23.415 So the arguments against it are sound can be taken directly from scripture, in most cases, but the ship thing is really the core of it, but you have to explain headship. 01:11:23.415 → 01:11:29.415 So maybe go listen to the Stone Quire episode on headship to get a refresher on that. 01:11:30.555 → 01:11:36.775 But like I said, it’s going to come down to whether or not they are willing to listen to reason and willing to listen to scripture. 01:11:36.775 → 01:11:43.275 And I think the odds are very likely, or else they would never have put forward such a resolution. 01:11:45.215 → 01:11:46.775 That doesn’t mean you don’t make the argument. 01:11:47.155 → 01:11:58.535 You make the argument, you give them the chance, and maybe you’re giving them the chance to condemn themselves, right, to deepen their sin, to refuse to repent. 01:12:00.235 → 01:12:00.995 That’s the case. 01:12:08.118 → 01:12:12.158 Okay, a follow-up question for the question about missions. 01:12:12.518 → 01:12:19.558 The person is asking about domestic missionaries, but they have Anabaptist views. 01:12:20.338 → 01:12:33.118 I would probably try to find someone who is a domestic missionary whose views align with what you believe about the faith so that you’re not troubling your conscience by funding something you disagree, something you think is false. 01:12:33.718 → 01:12:41.178 So, find a group that is doing domestic missionary work with whom you can fund them instead. 01:12:41.638 → 01:12:43.458 Your tithe doesn’t have to go to your local church. 01:12:43.458 → 01:12:54.338 Your tithe can go to some other Christian institutions, some other Christian teacher, and that’s great news these days because many churches are faithless and maybe you don’t want to fund your local church because it’s doing evil things. 01:13:06.981 → 01:13:10.201 A few more questions for the future before I lose them. 01:13:17.477 → 01:13:21.397 I do see, I want to note this time for the person to ask. 01:13:22.497 → 01:13:24.857 The question about, why have you forsaken me? 01:13:24.997 → 01:13:26.317 I have that in my notes. 01:13:26.317 → 01:13:27.817 I will try to address that next time. 01:13:27.817 → 01:13:31.297 It’s going to take a little bit of time to address it, so I don’t want to do it tonight. 01:13:32.837 → 01:13:36.417 I think we’re right about an hour, 10 minutes right now, maybe. 01:13:51.308 → 01:13:58.208 I think I will answer one more question for this episode. 01:13:58.388 → 01:13:59.608 And it’s another question. 01:14:00.268 → 01:14:01.748 20 is a good number, how much to end. 01:14:02.508 → 01:14:10.868 So, the chat cut off the end of your question, but I have the core of it, so I think I’m probably good. 01:14:11.648 → 01:14:19.588 I have been thinking about submitting an application to Patriot Front since I heard you recommend it as a good organization, and even more so since they’re marred. 01:14:20.748 → 01:14:29.768 But I was looking at the organization, I was a bit dejected by Rousseau’s lack of religion, as well as the organization’s stated secularism and openness to paganism. 01:14:30.768 → 01:14:34.888 I get the sense most of the members are Christians, that is definitely correct. 01:14:35.268 → 01:14:41.168 But what do you make of this less than ideal aspect of Patriot Front as a nationalist? 01:14:42.188 → 01:14:50.368 And then whatever your second question was, the something, I don’t know if it’s the chat, the plug-in, whatever, something cut it off, so I don’t have that. 01:14:50.368 → 01:14:52.568 So I’ll just answer the portion that I have at least. 01:14:53.908 → 01:14:54.388 Yes. 01:14:54.788 → 01:14:59.388 Patriot Front is not necessarily… 01:15:01.088 → 01:15:02.928 I know what their materials say. 01:15:02.928 → 01:15:04.948 I have a copy of it here somewhere. 01:15:04.948 → 01:15:07.468 I went to their national gathering. 01:15:07.468 → 01:15:10.208 That’s, I guess, it’s pretty much public knowledge at this point. 01:15:10.708 → 01:15:11.888 I spoke with him. 01:15:12.568 → 01:15:13.988 We didn’t really discuss religion. 01:15:13.988 → 01:15:25.668 However, I think he’d be fine with me saying that I gave him a challenge, and I said that the string attached was at some point in the future, we’re going to have a discussion about religion. 01:15:25.708 → 01:15:28.628 So maybe that’ll give you some hope for the future. 01:15:29.548 → 01:15:31.888 But I understand why he’s doing what he’s doing, right? 01:15:32.708 → 01:15:36.408 It’s in the vein of many men down through history. 01:15:37.348 → 01:15:47.088 You know, Hitler basically said, the Protestants and the Roman Catholics, keep your squabbling somewhere else, we don’t need it in the political movement. 01:15:48.008 → 01:15:54.688 Bismarck told the Protestants and the Roman Catholics, keep your squabbling somewhere else, we don’t need it in politics. 01:15:55.008 → 01:15:59.148 The Prussian Union was him telling the Lutherans and the reform to stop squabbling. 01:16:00.748 → 01:16:08.588 Religious infighting is a very difficult thing in a political movement, and it can send things off the rails very easily. 01:16:08.988 → 01:16:18.968 So I understand why men who want to focus on the political don’t necessarily want to deal with religion, right? 01:16:20.208 → 01:16:26.488 So, I don’t think that it is something that you can entirely avoid. 01:16:26.728 → 01:16:30.808 And the reason for that is very simple and also very complex. 01:16:30.808 → 01:16:31.968 But I’ll give the simple answer. 01:16:31.968 → 01:16:33.128 The simple answer is this. 01:16:33.988 → 01:16:38.908 A nation is blood, soil, myth. 01:16:40.248 → 01:16:42.408 Part of myth is religion. ---

# Transcript ## 3/3 01:16:43.628 → 01:16:48.808 Your nation and your religion are identical to a certain extent. 01:16:49.068 → 01:16:53.828 So you can’t actually ignore the religion issue, the religion question forever. 01:16:55.728 → 01:17:01.248 I recognize again what these men are doing, what Rousseau is doing, and he wants to do that. 01:17:01.988 → 01:17:09.528 I don’t even think he’s necessarily wrong, but eventually the matter will have to be decided. 01:17:09.928 → 01:17:16.988 Now, the goal, of course, is to win politically, and then we can go back to having our infighting, because that’s just humanity. 01:17:16.988 → 01:17:20.228 There will always be divisions among you brothers, right? 01:17:20.288 → 01:17:21.468 That is the words of scripture. 01:17:23.828 → 01:17:33.188 I don’t think that ultimately the nationalist movement in the US that is successful will be able to avoid religion entirely. 01:17:33.188 → 01:17:34.828 And Patriot Front doesn’t. 01:17:35.608 → 01:17:38.008 They had a crucifix for their march. 01:17:38.968 → 01:17:40.388 They’re not a Christian. 01:17:40.988 → 01:17:45.928 But like I said, I do know that most of the organization is Christian. 01:17:45.928 → 01:17:47.268 Most of the members are Christian. 01:17:47.268 → 01:17:48.988 Many of them are stone choir listeners. 01:17:48.988 → 01:17:51.488 Many of them are probably listening to this as well. 01:17:51.768 → 01:17:53.968 They follow me on X and elsewhere. 01:17:54.748 → 01:18:02.288 I think that ultimately, the Christian portion, and it is the majority of the nationalist movement, will win out. 01:18:02.328 → 01:18:15.308 And I think that the pagans will come back into the fold as they see a more masculine, traditional Christianity take over from the moribund, wicked organizations that are all dying out anyway. 01:18:16.948 → 01:18:22.408 So, I think that the problem will, by and large, solve its diehards here and there, but that’s inevitable. 01:18:22.408 → 01:18:24.968 There are always individuals who are outliers in that way. 01:18:26.468 → 01:18:27.968 So, I think join the organization. 01:18:27.968 → 01:18:30.508 I think it is a good thing, and recognize what you’re doing. 01:18:31.048 → 01:18:35.888 As a Christian, you’re just tilting that scale a little bit further in our direction, so that’s a good thing. 01:18:36.688 → 01:18:43.248 But, like I said, it’s a discussion that at some point, it’s not something that can be avoided. 01:18:43.248 → 01:18:44.468 It is important. 01:18:44.728 → 01:18:46.628 I’m actually writing an essay on it right now. 01:18:46.628 → 01:18:49.248 It’s in a notebook down here, half written. 01:18:49.248 → 01:18:51.108 Hopefully, I’ll get that published this coming week. 01:18:51.828 → 01:19:05.908 But I don’t think that it’s going to be a big deal that they right now, religious pluralism, as it were, I don’t think he’s going to permit, you know, Hindus and Muslims, right? 01:19:05.908 → 01:19:18.028 He’s basically just saying, I recognize that a certain percentage of white men are fed up with the current state of the churches and have opted instead for what they’re calling neo-paganism. 01:19:18.028 → 01:19:19.468 I won’t go into the issue right now. 01:19:20.248 → 01:19:29.248 And they’re still white men, they’re still my brothers, they want what is best for their nation, and they’re Christians as well, so he’s just not dealing with the issue. 01:19:30.748 → 01:19:32.188 I don’t have that luxury, right? 01:19:32.188 → 01:19:37.888 And I don’t want to get into it too much more deeply, because, like I said, I’m writing an essay on it, and I’d rather just publish that. 01:19:41.288 → 01:19:48.408 Because I’m a theologian, and a teacher, and so I am going to answer to God for the things I say and the things I fail to say. 01:19:48.888 → 01:19:51.588 I don’t get to be the above-the-fray politician. 01:19:53.208 → 01:20:06.748 I’m involved in politics too, so it’s a bit of both in my case, but that’s why I don’t avoid the issue, even though I would prefer if I were ecumenical and just dealt with the politics instead of dealing with the religion as well. 01:20:06.748 → 01:20:07.728 I don’t have the option. 01:20:09.168 → 01:20:15.008 But like I said, join the organization, tilt it further in our favor with regard to the Christian membership. 01:20:15.008 → 01:20:16.208 I think that’s a good thing to do. 01:20:18.048 → 01:20:21.688 But I think that will be the last question. 01:20:24.228 → 01:20:26.128 I’ll answer one more because I see it here. 01:20:27.008 → 01:20:28.288 This always happens, doesn’t it? 01:20:28.808 → 01:20:38.728 To the person who said that 250 is a better number to end on, I think my voice might actually give out if I tried to answer 250 questions in a row, in this sort of format. 01:20:40.208 → 01:20:41.508 Final question for this week. 01:20:42.468 → 01:20:46.928 I have heard people use 1 Corinthians 7 as proof of mutual submission. 01:20:46.928 → 01:20:47.968 Your thoughts on that? 01:20:47.968 → 01:20:49.808 So, obviously. 01:20:51.388 → 01:20:56.488 Maybe I shouldn’t have used this one since it’s potentially involved, but at any rate, we’ll pull this up. 01:20:58.268 → 01:21:00.248 Come on, Longhouse. 01:21:00.248 → 01:21:04.608 Concerning the matters about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman. 01:21:04.868 → 01:21:06.368 Note that that’s a quote from the letter. 01:21:07.088 → 01:21:12.168 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 01:21:12.168 → 01:21:16.968 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 01:21:17.108 → 01:21:19.508 For the wife does not have authority over her own body. 01:21:20.808 → 01:21:24.908 Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 01:21:25.248 → 01:21:36.028 Do not deprive one another except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 01:21:36.948 → 01:21:45.388 I think that’s probably sufficient, because really the point the brains try to pull out is that the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does, which is true. 01:21:46.848 → 01:21:55.068 Part of marrying is that you have conjugal duties to your wife, and you do not get to say, you know, I have a headache, at least not too many times. 01:21:55.548 → 01:21:57.248 This almost never happens that way. 01:21:57.248 → 01:21:59.448 It’s usually the woman, not the man, who’s doing this. 01:22:00.108 → 01:22:00.968 It happens sometimes. 01:22:00.968 → 01:22:01.888 There are men who do this. 01:22:02.308 → 01:22:03.908 You don’t have the option if you’re married. 01:22:04.068 → 01:22:08.028 You have duties to your wife that are physical duties, and you have to fulfill those. 01:22:08.308 → 01:22:09.688 God’s very clear about that. 01:22:09.688 → 01:22:10.848 It’s right here. 01:22:12.168 → 01:22:18.748 But earlier in this very same episode, we read a verse that said, the head of every wife is her husband. 01:22:20.428 → 01:22:21.908 The husband is the head. 01:22:21.908 → 01:22:22.908 He is in control. 01:22:22.908 → 01:22:27.468 And it likens it to Christ being the head of the church, right? 01:22:27.848 → 01:22:31.668 That’s another verse from the one we read, but there is a verse that says that as well. 01:22:32.428 → 01:22:33.928 Christ is the head of the church. 01:22:34.268 → 01:22:37.248 Does the church get to tell Christ what he gets to do? 01:22:37.888 → 01:22:38.228 No. 01:22:38.728 → 01:22:42.968 Does the church have new rules and Christ has to obey them? 01:22:43.248 → 01:22:43.608 No. 01:22:44.308 → 01:22:45.468 Christ is the head. 01:22:45.748 → 01:22:46.948 He’s the final say. 01:22:47.188 → 01:22:48.208 He has the veto. 01:22:48.368 → 01:22:49.468 He makes the rules. 01:22:49.888 → 01:22:53.888 The same thing is true of wives with regard to their husbands. 01:22:54.108 → 01:22:57.388 They submit in the way the church submits to Christ. 01:22:58.628 → 01:22:59.288 And it’s very odd. 01:22:59.288 → 01:23:06.988 There’s a passage that says, wives submit to your husbands in all things, as unto the Lord. 01:23:07.348 → 01:23:15.348 Well, if you’re supposed to submit as a wife to your husband the same way that everyone is supposed to submit to God, I don’t think that there’s any real way around that. 01:23:15.348 → 01:23:16.748 It’s not egalitarianism. 01:23:17.188 → 01:23:20.848 This is just saying, you’re not allowed to submit as a wife. 01:23:20.968 → 01:23:22.748 That’s literally all it’s saying here. 01:23:23.648 → 01:23:26.028 So the husband doesn’t have the authority to do that. 01:23:26.188 → 01:23:33.788 And the reason he doesn’t have that authority is because when you married, you handed over that authority, you gave it up. 01:23:33.928 → 01:23:36.528 You had the option to be celibate. 01:23:37.608 → 01:23:39.068 I mean, you don’t really have the option, right? 01:23:39.068 → 01:23:41.828 It’s in this hypothetical sense. 01:23:42.148 → 01:23:48.108 Like once you marry, you’ve given up part of that autonomy to your wife. 01:23:48.388 → 01:23:53.248 In this specific, in this very specific case, this very specific sense, that’s all it is. 01:23:53.788 → 01:24:03.188 So anyone tries to use this for egalitarianism or anything like that, or for feminism, it’s just saying you can’t withhold sex from your wife. 01:24:03.468 → 01:24:04.428 That’s all it’s saying. 01:24:07.368 → 01:24:15.328 But, you know, those people are going to obviously hate the passages that say you can’t keep your wife submit to your husbands, particularly when it’s all things as unto the Lord. 01:24:18.268 → 01:24:20.988 But I think that will be it for this week. 01:24:20.988 → 01:24:24.508 I will not hit that 250 number that we saw someone bring up. 01:24:24.508 → 01:24:25.888 I don’t think I could quite do that. 01:24:26.488 → 01:24:27.788 I think I probably answered that. 01:24:27.788 → 01:24:29.688 I definitely answered that many at this point. 01:24:29.688 → 01:24:39.188 If I’m, I don’t know, averaging around 15 to 20 per week, then we’re, you know, 500, 600 questions by now, I think. 01:24:40.928 → 01:24:45.508 At any rate, thank you for those who contributed questions and for participating in the chat. 01:24:45.508 → 01:24:48.188 It’s always great to be able to answer these. 01:24:48.588 → 01:24:54.888 Try to do it every week, don’t always make it every week, but winds up being Thursday or Friday, depending on how my week goes. 01:24:55.048 → 01:24:58.568 It’s been a busy week, so wound up being Friday this time. 01:24:59.068 → 01:25:02.668 And I hope that you all have a good weekend. 01:25:02.668 → 01:25:03.888 Go out, do something. 01:25:04.328 → 01:25:11.148 Hopefully, go out and go out in the outdoors and don’t meet the aforementioned bear from earlier in the episode. 01:25:11.148 → 01:25:15.348 But go out and enjoy God’s creation, and then go to church on Sunday. 01:25:15.688 → 01:25:25.308 So until next week, may God bless you and state all the ways you can submit questions, because you’ve all heard it dozens of times by now, and you can find it in the show notes. 01:25:25.308 → 01:25:30.148 But God bless you and keep you safe until next week, and go to church on Sunday. 01:25:30.608 → 01:25:34.228 I will see you all on Thursday or Friday, depending on my week goes. 01:25:34.668 → 01:25:35.248 God bless.
