Still Not Our Fight

Does this rile you?

A transgender-identified individual killed three children and three adults after a rampage at The Covenant School, a private Christian school for students aged three to 11, on Monday. Hobbs’ spokeswoman Josselyn Berry responded to the carnage by posting an image from the 1980 movie Gloria showing a woman brandishing two handguns. The image was captioned with the text “Us when we see transphobes.”

If you feel insulted or even threatened by that, then you really don’t understand what’s at stake.

Let’s review the context here. The word “Christian” means “one who follows Christ” or anything that pertains to following Him. God revealed Himself through the ancient Hebrew culture, and His Son remains a Hebrew person. Not Jewish, but Hebrew. The Talmud was never valid and the Old Covenant was nailed to the Cross with Him. He is the New Covenant in His Person; we are the New Israel.

Jesus’ cousin John saw it coming and lamented in his Revelation that churches would lose track of Jesus, no longer following Him. Somewhere between John’s time and the coronation of Constantine, the church leaders lost their way completely. They declared a treaty with a pagan government without requiring even the most superficial embrace of the terms mentioned by the Apostles in Acts 15. They participated in “baptizing” Constantine’s army.

The organized churches have never recovered. They simply went farther and farther into pagan compromise. Nothing about the formation of Western Civilization is Christian. There was a superficial resemblance to following Christ, just as the Talmud offered a superficial resemblance to obeying Moses, but it was never the real thing. You might like the words of the various historic creeds, but the organizations behind them were not following Christ.

America was founded on Enlightenment Deism. It has never been a covenant nation. Organized Christian religion has never been a valid expression of the Covenant of Christ. Any church that holds official recognition from secular state authorities is even more compromised than the leaders at the First Council of Nicea. The tranny armed revolt is a mere culture war against organized “Christian” religion, or churchianity. Trannies don’t even know who Christ is, much less what it means to follow Him, because the organized churches don’t either.

Granted, we agree with condemning all the various LGBTQ+ crap as defiling sexual perversion. But our standard is even higher than that; we declare with Christ that the standard is one man, one woman, bound for life under His Covenant as the sole valid expression of human sexuality. Most churches won’t go that far. Moreover, it is utterly impossible to gain any covenant blessings outside of full covenant obedience. Thus, the whole business of what laws to have and to enforce in America makes very little difference to Covenant people. It does no good to promote laws against sexual perversion, because God will not bless those laws without the whole nation swearing to abide by His Covenant in toto. It’s all or nothing with God.

It’s possible the tranny revolt could threaten Radix Fidem folks; we encourage you to ask God what you should do about that. There is no sin in defending yourself, if that’s what the Lord says to your heart. But we would be mostly bystanders, because we do not encourage oppressing them. Our response is to withdraw as much as possible from the society at large to keep ourselves clean from the broad filth in our world. How the individual Radix Fidem folks handle that is a matter of their own convictions.

This is not our fight.
