A Great Book to Read

  A New Redemption History Gerry McDermott begins with creation; he shows how God worked through Israel then His chosen nation and then accomplished redemption through Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. It should take in the consideration that not all Jews, though a shrinking majority of them, accept Jesus as the messiah, i.e. the anointed one of God meant for reverence at the culmination of history.   After writing about Jesus, McDermott writes over the span of church history, what McDermott calls “From Christ’s Resurrection to the End of the World,” looking at both sacred and secular and the rise of various religions and movements in the process of history. The book finishes with the eschaton, the new heavens and earth, and God’s and the churches’ ultimate glorification in eternity. God is glorified in Orthodox perspective , and the church and believers are glorified in this world when they demonstrate the grace and peace of the Savior, Jesus.   McDermott writes a treme...

IT TAKES ALL TYPES OF "PEOPLE"

Certain TYPES of PEOPLE (humans?) are a minority on this earth.. Why the h__ are they being portrayed as THE majority.  I do not get it, THEY are so pitiful and harmless that they are given voice in LIBRARIES. GOD knows they need assistance in having a voice, they are so persecuted.  The real persecution has begun and needs to be addressed. Michel Foucault can shed much light on this topic, as well as favs like Walt Whitman, as they have always considered so intelligent, even when they use long tangential sentences (oooops, like this one) to make a single point. PLEASE help everyone realize that there needs to be a voice for ALL. It, oppression, is soooo real that there SEEMS to be an uptick in the types of a person I can be.   I identify as a WRITER and a ScHoLaR, hardy har har, who wants to be a scholar in this politically driven CLIMATE anyways, oh no!

"WOKE culture" the misnomer, and racist application of "woke"

One must be careful to make the observation and distinction between the both the narrow and the broad use of the term "woke"  In the narrow and appropriate sense it is used to designate the individual process that a person of color coming to realize the way society oppresses them and the extent to which that oppression can be addressed in their individuals life. The broad and inappropriate use of the term "woke" comes when those who know no better indicate that a whole society or institution, or organization is "woke"   Often times this is referred to as "woke culture" Such is the application of the word or concept to indicate what is systemically problematic. In fact "woke" is used with the negative connotation to address the DEI, The 1619 Project, or other specifically more broad ideas about the way culture is affected by racism, discrimination, and "colonization."  I cannot speak here, though, because anything I say is raci...
