Are the Foundations Destroyed?
Jul 9th, 2010 by Randy Toman
There is in any social order foundational doctrines which contain elements that are widely accepted and are celebrated as being conscious affirmation of that which is shared. There is an understood implication of a link with something transcendent and holds them together as a people.
Words on a paper certainly have meaning but their meaning goes much deeper when they are understood with Faith in a higher order and knowing that God is in charge of the complete order of things.
The Civil War (1860-1865) introduced here in this country discontinuance in the belief, faith and thinking of the people. The injection of evilness into the social affairs of the people went unnoticed and each element could have been, but was not fought against has an attack of evil. Look at them, consider the following and remember they were introduced one at a time, slowly without force as they infested society and the people, just as it has happen these last 18 months, with no one able to do anything about the slide.
1. The Enlightenment coming from Europe
2. Darwin’s theory of “Evolution”
3. Bankers attempts to bring in the FED (1865-1913)
4. The Social Gospel (1870-1940)
5. Progressive Movement (1890- —-)
6. Socialism using the Social Gospel (1900 -1940)
7. Government (1930- —-) Taking the lead as big brother and instructor of the people rather then the church.
8. Progressives and Socialism coming together (1960- —-)
9. Belief in Jesus Christ, the Gospel, with Christianity slipping further from being central to the faith of conscious affirmation. (1950- —-)
10. The all mighty dollar (1980- —-) Wall Street developing financial products that hid the dangers and responsibilities of the people, allowing expansion of debt both within government and the individual citizens to were debt is killing the people and country.
These 10 timed elements are by no means all inclusive as to what had happen in the 145-150 years since the Civil War, but gives a person a pretty good view as each break occurred in the social order. These attacks were not noticed by the people and reaction to anyone of the points in history went unchallenged. But now with the accumulation of deterioration we have a noticeable difference in the culture and makeup of the social order which has major damage to its fiber.
The prime question becomes; can the breach be repaired? That question is not a simple one to answer because there are a large percentage of people within the social order who will say there is no breach: nor major problem and we just need to get back to conservative principles. To which I say; you do not understand the depth of the breach. It has gone well beyond simple wrongness to where the foundations have been destroyed and what can we do? No one is asking the question, are the foundations destroyed and worse if that is so what are we to do?
We Shall See if God will have mercy on the land and its people.
