I have the sense God has brought the 2x2 into judgement. I have relatives leaving, and rethinking the sacrosanct doctrine “this is Gods only way”.
As well as rethinking this statement, which has characterized the early workers if not the latter ones as much: “Neither have any other community of saved persons or HS led persons existed”.
So setting aside the obvious judgment perverts and criminals are lending against its imprimatur, their greater judgment consists of rejecting and condemning brothers and sisters in Christ.

Your god did nothing to protect the innocent nd victims. Where was your god when countless children were being raped by workers. And now when secular authorities are taking action you have the temerity to claim it's the work of your god. |

Where were your secular authorities when they weren’t investigating and bringing judgment?
My position regarding the 2x2, be it their interpretation of reality as it bears upon righteousness, or their eschatology as it looks towards the future, they neither preached the authority of God in this world nor of that to come.

You do realize that your world view is quite decidedly in line with American reconstructionism? |

All of the language and concepts of what you expound on is perfectly that approved by the Christian reconstructionist movement in this country. I would not at all be surprised if you don't know what I'm referring to, because you don't discuss how you think that righteous state of affairs is going to be accomplished in the here and now. But there has been a plan for that to happen for decades now, and I am confident you will be drafted when the time comes. I've just chosen not to involve myself in making it happen. I believe the end does not justify the means. |

I’ll have to read up on it. There is an ongoing irony with respect to Gods will being done irrespective of people’s motives. For instance in Joseph’s case and his brothers: “you meant it for bad, but God meant it for good”.

Good people desire law and order. Idk what else defines reconstructionism. (I browsed Wikipedia). Calling it an American thing or a Christian thing ignores the grievances of people everywhere, whereas government conduct goes unprincipled.

Calling it an American thing or a Christian thing ignores the grievances of people everywhere, whereas government conduct goes unprincipled. Wikipedia won't help at all. They normally will not even use the term reconstructionist - it's counter productive. You could start with the book The Family by Jeff Sharlet, available from Amazon in paperback for $9.89 -- used as cheap as $1.01 I don't even think he uses the word reconstructionism either, but he's on the right track. |

We’ve discussed this before.
‘The Family’, what little I know about them is a distraction from persons like myself who anticipate a renaissance of spiritual enlightenment for residents of our planet going forward.
