In one worldview, Secularism, the concept that controls all is ”Man is the measure of all things.” This also highlights a second key concept and that is atheistic materialism, especially scientific and atheistic materialism.
To these concepts must be added belief in moral relativity, neo-Darwinism, and man-made, legal positivism-based laws. Thus, Secularism has no absolute framework because that is left up to society. Today’s constitution, minus its historical derivation, leaves open to them the quest for a very different reference base or framework for their new constitution.
Two artificial yet political frameworks that are popular with Secularists are derived from some form of collectivism, such as socialism, or even communism. In either case the society almost inevitably evolves into a totalitarian, tax ridden nightmare given time.
These Utopian-style frameworks demand of its citizenry changes in thinking and acting that are so foreign to human behavior that the state must literally get rid of them by imprisonment or death and grow new generations of Collective Man, if they can.

In Christianity, it is quite different. The Triune God, creator of all things, has provided a framework for man that calls for best efforts that are well within the capability of ordinary men. Man is given by God both Agape and a Decalogue of primary commands to begin with, that is amplified by study of the full Bible and the treaties of theologists that help in interpretation of God’s Word.
The promise of forgiveness of sins and resurrection into Heaven is strong motivation for doing good over evil. An absolute moral code is given to man for him to live by.
Not too well recognized is the impact of Natural Law that complements the Natural Rights of man as given by God. Natural Laws can readily be seen in our US Constitution as a summary of the God-given influences on many prior legal systems, ending up with early British Common Law.
Belief and faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit dominates Christian Man. When turning to matters of logic, mathematics and debate, true Christians stand for truth and facts. The long history of the development of science and mathematics by Christian scientists and mathematicians, attests to their seeking of the truth, albeit suffering a rocky road getting there.
It can be observed that several professions are looked down upon by Christians for their shaky hold on the truth. Among them are the Law and Politics, and to be more complete: Atheism.

Pretty accurate assessment to me.

Thanks Peewee!

Figured I better use my freedom of speech and religion while I have it. Use it or lose it. I plan to share the gospel as long as I have breath. I don't believe in tattoos but if I ever got one, it would be a dotted line on the back of my neck. Above the dotted line would say "Property of Jesus", and below it would say "Cut Here". That way I couldn't deny Him. Just going to have to keep praying. So glad I didn't grow up with the internet and all the propaganda. Be well my friend, and keep fighting the good fight! You never know who is watching and listening or Jesus is calling.

Q has been busy. Looks like Horowitz's sets the stage, Durham brings the pain, and Barr and Huber are the cleanup crew. I forget about Huber at times.

Sounds about right to me! However, Q said that first comes the release of a boatload of classified documents. This is the choice of Barr, as I understand it. It is a key part of "The Great Awakening!"

You should watch today's X22Report, episode 2051, Something big is about to happen. About Adm. Rodger and Brennan. It fired me up. Maybe the non-impeachment sped things up?

This is an excellent synopsis, manning,

We, indeed, live in interesting times, with unforeseen (by we humans) twists and turns.

Best to keep one eye on unchangeable Biblical prophecy, the other eye on the ever changing news/propaganda being spewed forth, then to walk forward, trusting God to prevent our falling in a ditch!

===================
Thanks for the comment, Zemirah! Walking with God all the time is a goal I am quite a distance away from, but I am sure our paths are together now and then!

From your own words:

"The promise of forgiveness of sins and resurrection into Heaven is strong motivation for doing good over evil."

and

"Belief and faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit dominates Christian Man."


Has God not said?:

Acts 2:20-21: "The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
"And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Romans 10:12-13: "For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

I was referring to the fact that I worship God and Jesus, but on a daily basis it doesn't FEEL like I am walking with God at every instant as I believe I should.

Zemirah Loc: Sojourner En Route...

As to feelings,

I consistently fail in my purpose and intent, falling on my face at least twice daily; whereas God picks me up, brushes me off, and I continue in my efforts, anew.

Praise His Holy Name!
