Re: Well educated

Educationally credentialed is NOT the same as well-educated.

In any event, freedom is not a left-wing value; it is a liberal value. …
Still believe that, eh Dennis? Everything that liberals want requires big government to execute, which is not conducive to freedom.

Also, looks like Dennis has never read The Naked Communist and their list of 45 communist goals for the USA. Goals 27 and 28 read thus:
  1. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

  2. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Technically, an infiltrated church would not be a failure if its goal is to subvert the very religion it professes to teach, right?

Not to mention, “separation of church and state” is a communist value, not an American one; plus, to declare that having prayer in schools violates such a “separation” automatically implies that schools are regarded as an arm of the government, something that is also not a US value per the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.

Thanks to Deep State, we now not only have a de facto NHS, but a de facto state religion as well.

Covid-19 showed the failure of an entire world society run by 80 year olds.

The 80 year olds had a good life. They stole their grandkid’s money and lived beyond their means with zero repercussions.

If the 40 years old told them, stay inside until this is over, you could die and went on with their lives and treated everything as normal, the “pandemic” would have ended a year ago, with less overall death.

What exactly does age have to do with it? That’s one of the angles the left tried to go after Reagan over.

Regarding the obesiance of religious institutions, they first and foremost are governed organizations/corporate entities accountable to secular government.

Somethings don’t belong to Caesar....

You aren’t getting it. Consider the difference between education and indoctrination.

September 2021, for the 15th consecutive year (except for 2020),

Why didn’t he lead it in 2020?

(Also…being picky…so “not” consecutive then)

Romans 13 was written to the Christian faithful living in the catacombs in fear of the Secular rulers.
Those rulers made it illegal, under penalty of death, to practice the Faith and to worship the Christ as God.
These most certainly DID worship in the catacombs, in direct violation of Caesar’s laws and in the face of death.
[Oh, BTW...Fauci said CXOVID-19 \WILL\ kill you if you don’t follow his rules...penalty of death, anyone?]

Paul, here, is writing the letter from prison for...wait for it...preaching the Faith and worshiping the Christ as God.
Is Paul teaching us “Do as I say but not as I do?”
Doubtful.
So...what then are we to make of this conundrum as a Church...in the USA...with 1st Amendment protections?

I posit that Romans 13 does NOT APPLY to a godless government that creates edicts that (1) evaluates individual Faith against a secular standard and (2) imposes penalties for the gathering of the Faithful in full violation of the 1st Amendment.

For that time you are in church, you are not in a nation subject to secular rulers but in “Heaven on Earth”, accountable to God.

Outside of church...do observe Romans 13 as the penalties involved would keep you from attending church.

I see this differently.

Covid exposed the power of mass media to brainwash a large portion of the masses—of all ages.

The only old people you should have an issue with are the ones that own and control the mass media outlets—regardless of their age.
