SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY – FILMOGRAPHY

JESUS is the LIFE of the Real Party!

I am the beauty of life

I am life eternal

I am life abundant and love victorious

I am the reason for living

I am light and love and law and liberty

I am laughter and the long term view

I am righteousness and life

I am both your justification and justice

I am full of grace and truth

I am the answer to all suffering and sin and death

I am Jesus Christ the name of God, the

I am who is love eternal and love unfailing

I am love’s unfolding dream come true

I am Christos Victor

Jesus is Love and Tenderness personified

Jesus is Meekness and Magisterial in Mercy

Jesus is Empathy and Compassion incarnate

Jesus is perfect Manhood and loving Deity

Jesus is never dismissive or condescending

Jesus is full of Unmerited and Undeserved Favour

Toward even the worst of sinners

Who will come to Him and will look to Him alone

Who will believe on and come to Him alone

Alone on Him for their salvation and preservation

Who look to Him as their everything and all in all!

"You have conquered me with your great love

You are Yahweh, the only One who holds the power to

Melt the hardest of hearts.

Just when I thought I understood love, I met you

You showed me what unselfish love looks like – pure agape

Which flows effortlessly, expecting

(Or rather demanding or coercing –jcw)

Nothing in return

(Though God fervently desires a relationship with us

And has gone to extraordinary lengths to win us to Him

At the cost of the Blood of His own Son)

I’m so grateful; so zealous to love others the same way

Lord you have awakened me to experience

The adventure of life with you

You have become my Beloved, my Forever Friend

And I am your bride

You held nothing back from me when you redeemed me with your love

In return, I will hold nothing back from you

Take me over completely, so I will release the fragrance of your Presence everywhere I go

Come closer – even to the places where I’ve tried to hide

You have set your love upon me and call me beautiful

I give all that I am to you, forever."

(From page 202 or July 9 of Prayers on Fire: 365 Days Praying the Psalms

Dr Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez: 2007, Broadstreet)

Jesus is the ONLY way to God for: He is

The ONLY Truth for knowing about God

The ONLY Life for living the life of God

The ONLY ATONEMENT for all the sin

And all the crime of all humanity

For: you cannot mix or add anything to Christ – such as

Your own efforts or penal punishments with God’s grace

Since God’s grace cannot be earned or paid for

Or be secured or supplemented through

Works of Punishment and Repentance or

Moral self-righteousness, Rehabilitation etc

But ONLY by faith alone in Christ alone

For the glory of God alone!

For there can be NO boasting by the creature Before God

Because NONE of us can qualify our self in any way

For God’s blessings -

But only the Unmerited Favour of God in Christ

Freely imputed and freely received can do that -

As a pure GIFT for All who will receive it:

Without any selective compassion or

Negative discrimination or

Disqualification by desert

Such as the heinous criminal acts of

Selected sex offenders

Or murderers or abortionists

Because there are no further expiational Punishments

Ordained by the revealed will of God

In addition to the Atonement of Christ

For all the sin and ALL the crime of humanity

When such punishments are NOT justly or reasonably

Required by God of the State:

Neither can such Christ Denying and Gospel Defying And Cross Demeaning Penal punishments

Be JUSTLY demanded by the State

Especially for all true Victorious Believers in Christ

Who do not represent a threat to the Community!

Except for those who do not or will believe in Christ

Failed or fallen true believers require counselling

And Spirit Direction on the meaning and power of

The Unmerited Favour and especially the

Exchanged life of Christ and

NOT further costly and fruitless Punishment!

Though they may be ‘delivered over to Satan’

That they may be brought to repentance and faith –

(1. Tim. 1:20 cf. 1 Cor. 5:5; 6:1-12

And Rom. 11:32; Gal. 6:1 and 2; 12-17)

For CHRIST is become of NO EFFECT unto those

Who seek to be Justified or made Just

Or even sanctified or matured by

The Law of God or laws of man

Since by such earthly, fallen and demonic ‘wisdom’

Who want to make a ‘Fair show in the flesh’ (Gal. 6:12)

Such persons and such Institutions

Cheapen the cost and defy the Justice and

Culpably Demean the Magistral Mercy and

Limit the awesome Power

Of God’s Unmerited Favour in Christ alone!

Being guilty of falling from Grace! (Gal. 5:1-6)

And bring themselves and others back into bondage!

Which is incapable of making us holy and without blame

Before God in love!

Such persons are:

Unskilled in the Word of Righteousness (Heb. 5:13)

The Church of Christ desperately needs

Followers and leaders established in

The New Covenant of Grace AND Grace-Based Justice

Who will NOT be satisfied with putting

Christ’s New Wine of the New Man

Of the New Creation

Into the old wineskins of failed Law based covenants

And Christless, powerless and loveless social contracts

By compromising with a mixture of law and Grace

Or Christ plus Moses or Judge Earl Hardy of twirl!

As we have discovered in the best parts of the

History of Western Civilization

Only Christ is the true Foundation of

Fulsome Freedoms and correlative Response-abilities

Whether it be Religious Freedoms and Freedom of Conscience,

Freedom of Association, Freedom of the Press

Or personal, governmental, familial, social, Educational, Economic, Judicial, cultural, vocational, Creative and Political freedoms

But they MUST be Grace-Based ONLY

If the Life and Freedom and Liberty and Love of Christ

Is to be made freely available to all

For only the supernatural VIRTUE that Christ and

His Free New Covenant of Grace Supplies

Is more than sufficient to create that necessary character

For a safe and free democratic civilization

And a diverse culture of freedom of conscience

Or science with knowledge and a

Jubilee Justice Religion of Unmerited Favour - et al

That supplies the necessary liberation from domination

Scapegoating oppression and retribution

From having to perform to obtain blessings

Thus liberating us from being held hostage to fear and guilt

By the expectations and unreasonable demands of others

And the rules of Christless Law and unjustified coercion

By autocrats, bureaucrats and other Totalitarians

Also Christ frees us from the demands of others And Ourselves – by NOT holding us

Captive to the past and our former selves

Or to lesser versions of ourselves!!

Because that which is born of the flesh is flesh

BUT that which is born of the Spirit is spirit!

Thus supplying us free-of-charge -to-us

Forever pardon and holiness ‘Package deal’

For happiness, success, peace and prosperity

With wholeness of body, soul and spirit

With assured futures and a very meaningful Present – being occupied with proactively Advancing the Grace Modality of the

Now Kingdom of God on earth!

Because only the character of the saving virtue Of Christ

Even the eschatology and ethic of

FREE Justification and GIFTED Righteous dominion

Of the LORD Jesus Christ is capable of

Supplying the motivation, affection, love

Authority, anointing and power of an

Unearned and unfailing COSTLY and

Freely imputed agape Love

And salugenic Grace-Based Justification And Justice

Which whole bundle of Incredible Good will And Mighty Magisterial Mercy

Is necessary to ground and prosper a truly

FREE Religion and Free Society and a Free Civilization

With the New Human Right of knowing Christ and Making Him known to all persons And all Nations

For we cannot and dare not attempt to

Wring incoherences out of life

Nor impose contradictions on Life

Nor resort to any Rule of Law

Inconsistent with or contrary to the Gospel and

New Covenant of the LORD Jesus Christ

BUT

Only believing in, and abiding by and adhering to

The only Safe and Salugenic Rule of the

New Creation in Christ and the

NOW Grace ONLY modality of the NOW Kingdom

And World Dominion of Jesus Christ

Recognising and now EXERCISING Christ’s

NOW COSMIC authority over ALL the earth

Including Church, Society and the State/Nations

(Read Gal. 6; cf. Mt. 28; Col. 2)

Nor should we condone or voluntarily submit to

The thrust of a man-made ‘soft’ and hard

Dominating and scapegoating violence and

Forced incoherence upon us and our children

Lest we become another prisoner with many dragons

Craving acceptance and freedom as the cost of our own souls!

Sitting squat on monuments of stone and genocide

Being the harvest of Hell on earth

Memorialising obscenities, horrible tortures and grizzly realities

Not ‘bearing’ up under a plethora of existential agonies

Where the avenue of the ‘Righteous Gentiles’

Grows narrower and narrower

"Where a hushed eerie darkness obliterates reality

And meaning itself is obliterated" (Paul Kraus)

Too horrible to contemplate – much less create!

Because too many good people do nothing

And put up with too much evil disguised as good!!

……………

Specialists without ‘Spirit’

Such as those who in the wisdom of the flesh

Participate in the Repressive Agendas of

Mandatory Reporting and other State surveillance

And through the Power of the Big Pharma Industry and

The Unaccountable Mental Health

Autocracy and Bureaucracy

With its Dark Arts and Dismal science so called

That bully clients and throw their weight around

Refusing to be accountable to them or to their advocates

Keeping their clients on ‘covering’ and unproven medication

Against their will and against their best interests

Using persuasive rhetorical techniques

To convince patients that compliance with medical

And psychiatric authorities is always in their best interests

Evidencing a very troubling and even appalling

Asymmetry of information, influence and power

Employing vague and evasion communication

Impersonal care and often disdainful

Of Iatrogenesis or drug induced harm

Quickly proceeding to making voluntary patients

Involuntary

Refusing to keep any interference with the

Rights, dignity and self-respect of the mentally ill

To a minimum

Denying to them ready and proper Legal Representation

With no explanation and no apology

Placing the interests and agendas

Of the psychiatric establishment

Ahead of and often contrary to the

Best interests and health of their patients

Contrary to the rules of fairness and equity

And Living with dignity!

Breaching confidentiality of the Carers

And conveying this to other specialists

Who do not have proprietary interests in such disclosure

And ignoring the authority of their Medical Health Attorney

Denying them the right to negotiate the treatment

Of their patients with the establishment

Or effectively the right to a SECOND opinion

Resenting any attempt to question their authority

Threatening to ‘bring in the big guns’ if you do

Interfering with established relationships that the patient

And Carer or Husband/Spouse

Have with their own doctors and own psychiatrists!

Conveying verbal communications negative and

Prejudicial to them

But not putting anything in writing!

Effectively refusing to their patients

The Right NOT to be overmedicated

The Right NOT to receive unnecessary or

Wrongful medication

The Right NOT to be ill-treated or manhandled

The RIGHT to be fully informed about their rights – and

To be properly informed about their treatment

And medication

And any possible or serious or harmful side effects

Often conducting a tacit moral evaluation of the patient

With attendant labelling and neglect

With little or no room and willingness to:

Listen to their clients

Or their carers or their advocates

Or to negotiate on treatment or other alternatives

With Dr JESUDADDA playing ‘Big Brother’ god

Another Anti-Christ ‘Medical Healer’

Playing the ‘Caring’ prosecutor and judge

With her Jumped Up Drug promoting and

Frazzle-Dazzle open Mouth and Shut Hard–Head Case

With her Loony-Tune Left Brain Ego enhanced unbalanced analysis

Employing the ‘Principled Arbitrariness’ of a

Big-Brother and Cradle to Grave Bureaucracy

With its ‘Big Stick’ ‘diplomacy’

Affecting an evident superiority complex

Assuming and employing the false legitimacy of

Rational-Legal Domination and self-referential agendas

Of Self-Protection

Requiring the obedience of objectification

Under the obligation of Law and the

Cover of the opinion of experts

Worshiping the Idol of Scientism

Working the oracle of the Humanistic Dominant Hypothesis/thesis

Mandating the Secularisation of all things

Even the total segregation of the Gospel/Kingdom of Christ

From the Governances of the Public realm

Rendering the subversion of the Gospel

And the State as a seditious servant of Christ

And all persons as the property of the Totalitarian State

Denying the Preambles of Faith and our Constitution

Demanding a Blind leap of Faith in the

Dictates of human arrogance and

Governmental Usurpations of all kinds

Requiring and affirming the ‘Holy Orders’ of a secular only

Hierarchy and hegemony

Bureaucracy and Judiciary

Creating hell on earth!

Being fundamentally irrational and

Impersonal and irrelational

That places the value of conformity and ‘efficiency’

Political and economic power and control

Including the ‘Macdonaldisation’

Or dehumanisation of medicine

Because a large range of the important features of

Sound and salugenic modern social and familial life

Tend to be eliminated – especially

When the Weberian dominant rationality of Institutions

Coerce their ‘expert’ way and hold their

Meticulously engineered way and sway

Embedding an elitist Dominant professional ritual and

Detached routinisation of life

Over and above all other decent Christlike values

Like Grace and Gospel Truth and a Sound conscience

With the Freedom and Liberty of Judgment that goes with it

Rather the Big Pharma Industry is all about

Internalising and enforcing a new kind of

Perverse health and hospital helping societal culture

Even a Christless restructuring of the personality

The ‘I –thou’ Societal relation and community

All subsumed by the new ‘legal’ rationality

Undergirded by the so called rule of law!

Where restitution and remedy are rendered null and void

Since it is only or usually accessible by the very rich!

Or the psychic and emotional costs of making Complaints

And pursuing them to a good outcome

With the consequent alienation and

Adversarial ‘justice’ ensuing

Cost much more than an arm and a leg

And can never be predicted!

Denying the values and beliefs of a Christlike

Culturally embedded Holistic Individualism and

Godly kinship Familialism

Rather to the contrary

Performing their duties in a spirit of

‘Formalistic impersonality’

That largely prevents any creativity and spontaneity

And even punishes any independent initiative or alternative

Hiding their agendas from Public view

Effecting the most complete institutionalisation of power

So that societies and individuals exist

To serve the Bureaucracy

Rather than the other way around!

Fuelling the secular liturgy of specialist transcendence

Seduced by the logic of a non-personal and

Irrelational ‘scientific’ practice

Convinced of the hidden persuasion of godless

Yet ‘scientific’ austerity

Conned by the special training of Senior demons

Through the education and not-so implicit pedagogy of

Secular atheistic humanism –

Disguised as professional care

Under the guise of love

Violently opposed to the greater Wisdom of Dr Thomas Szasz

Maximising their control rather than user control!

Like so many other repressive state democracies of the West

Making an ‘Iron Cage’ for their patients

‘Specialists without spirit’

Without empathy and true soul care like Dr Christ

Losing sight of others and love outside of themselves

Of the ‘structured niche’ in the remorseless bureaucratic machine

Outside of their confined and confining environments

Making the most of their so called ‘technical superiority’

Employing so called ‘Scientific Management’

But so often enslaved to official regulations

Or made to serve agendas other than the patients’ true welfare

Ruling out any evidence associated with miracles

Or Transformational change OUTSIDE their industry

Which CAN be readily tested!

Outside their Monopoly of power and solutions

Therefore perpetuating unnecessary ‘supportive’

Drugs regimes that sentence patients to a lesser

And lower quality of life and functioning

Dismissing this as unavoidable or a necessary ‘good’

Where the functionalist needs of the system overrule

The best interests and crucial needs of the patient

Refusing that their own Pharmocopa

Be tested by true scientific

Best evidence medicine

That evidentially does no serious harm for the patient

Where the ‘Ruling Elite’ want to remain untouchable

Reinforced by the ‘Iron Law of Oligarchy’

Where business is conducted ‘according to calculable rules’

And without regard to persons and their self-respect and rights

Where the initiative of subordinates and patients is crushed

Where individuality and creativity and flexibility are suppressed

As these elite bureaucrats and professionals slavishly follow

Their own egos under cover of official regulations and procedures

Where their overriding concern is the maintenance of

Their own power OVER rather than with

Their vulnerable clients!

Where the welfare of the patient as the alleged goal

Is displaced in favour of the maintenance of unchallenged power

And the preservation of the organisation

Where threats are countered by strong internal control

All demeaning the Doctor-Patient relationship

Refusing to take any responsibility for the adverse and

Perverse impact of their ‘treatments’ on their clients!

Including doubling and quadrupling the

Anti-psychotic and other drugs overnight

Which the Chemist may or may not pick up on!

Interfering with the patient’s relationship

With her own doctor

Attempting to poison and prejudice and even

End the G.P. -client relationship –

By presenting adverse information about her

And / or her carer –

So the local Surgery closes ranks against them both

And refuses to see them anymore

As has been the author’s sad experience!

Forcing them to start again with another doctor

Playing into the very hands of the Psychiatrists involved

[And using this – among other predetermined ploys

Against the patients/carers

Accusing them of being aggressive trouble-makers!

Or recalcitrant or non-compliant drugs takers

Who DARE to question the science and the competence

And the care of the psychiatric and other authorities – Thereby in their own minds -

Justifying the intervention of an outside authority

To take over the care of the involuntary psychiatric Patient

Forcibly placing her into the hands of another

More punitive authority – like the Guardianship Board

Who also sequesters and uses her own money

And further defrauds the vulnerable and now

Severely chastened Family!!]

With specialists like Psychiatrists

Prescribing medicine that her own doctor

Could and should prescribe

Leading to over prescription and chaos

As an outworking of unwarranted coercion and manipulation

Also refusing their clients the dignity of

Freedom of conscience – science WITH wisdom

And the Freedom to live a life free of harassment and turmoil!

Generating much more DIS-EASE and conflict

Refusing the Client and her Carer

The Right and responsibility of self-direction – or

The Right to second and third outside expert opinion!

Refusing Freedom from thought control and

Arrogant and unaccountable ‘professional’ coercion!

Employing the spirit of fear and threat of retribution!

Perpetuating further disabling and debilitating

Dependence on them and their prolonged medication

Inducing a Slave Mentality that normalises dysfunction

When Jesus Christ has come NOT to see addictions merely managed

But to see persons healed and whole and

Fully transformed by His omnipotent Grace and all-powerful Love

And Gospel TRUTH – which alone can set people FREE!

But current Psychiatric profession and practice

Is or amounts to a tacit if not overt admission of defeat

That also arrogantly denies that Doctor Christ is enough

Whose healing is branded as unscientific or insufficient

Neither can or will He apparently FREE persons altogether

From their ‘mental ‘disease’

Thus the lives of their ‘patients’ are readily and ruthlessly demeaned

Leaving them disillusioned and so often wrung out like a dish rag

Whose pharmaceuticals fail to rule the raging of the sea within

Only dumbing the mind and closing down ever more sections of the brain

Settling for second and third best when Christ can do so much better!

Demonstrating their so called science is not much better

Than a Dark Art and a Dismal science –

A science falsely so called!

(I refer the reader to the book Sociology: Themes and Perspectives Edited by Robert van Krieken, Philip Smith; Daphne Habibis; Kevin McDonald; Michael Haralambos & Martin Holborn: 2000, LONGMAN - Pearson Education Australia Pty Limited)

As we have intimated here and argued at many places in these works

The Christian Gospel of Grace and Truth is STRONGLY opposed

To the so called Rule of Law, Coercion and Domination and

Scapegoating/Mental Labelling et al –

Being a Ministry of Condemnation and alienation

And finally death itself!

The Christian Narrative of KING Jesus

And the Christlike ‘socialisation’ of medicine

Psychology and psychiatry

Looks and works very differently from

What we have seen above

A Christian Mind and Medical Sociology is driven by a

Whole new Motivation and Methodology and

A whole New ‘Spirit’ and NEW Sociology of everyday life

Even the Sociology of a whole New Relational WORLD

Grounded and rooted in the Redemptive and Reconciling

Peacemaking and goodwill of our Father and Family God – even the

Amazingly LOVING character and salvific purposes of God in Christ

Being a whole NEW way of viewing the world and

Believing in all persons as sacred and inviolable and valuable

For whom Christ died and paid for in His righteous and

Righting blood Atonement

Purchasing the Right to become children of God

And so no longer imprisoned by the sins of addiction

No longer the victims of mental oppression and

The domination of so called experts and

All other forms of ‘occupying’ and demeaning demonic control

Since Christ came to set all FREE from all such prisons

From slavery to all things other than God Himself

And not just ‘manage’ their abnormal

Mental states/behaviours

And call that Normal or acceptable!!

All the BLESSINGS of the New Covenant of Grace

For a WHOLE New Humanity

In Christ have been ALREADY executed

Through Christ’s Mediatorial labours

Through the New Covenant of Grace, GIFT and generosity

Which NECESSARILY entails a whole NEW

Cognate and Co-inherent Consequential and

Correlative NEW Sociology of the Individual AND the Family

And of Society and Education, Science and Culture

All co-inhering and cohabiting through the

New Law of Agape COSTLY other-giving

SELFLESS Love and Salugenic Ethics

And optimistic Eschatology

Inclusive of a non-Judgmental

Egalitarian and equalising and ennobling

Healing and Helping and Wholesome

And rectifying Grace-Based ONLY FREELY pardoning Justice

That fully embraces the scope and

Shalomic purpose of proper

All embracing and ‘alternative’ medicines

For Body, Soul and Spirit -

Personal and Corporate

Private and Public

For Organic and Institutional Man!

True Christian Messiahism represents the death

Of any and all personal works-based meritocracy

All forms of coercive and false Metropolitan and Mediation power

And all forms of social welfare functions and functionaries

In conflict with the new humanity of persons in Christ

And the congruent Christian socialisation of the Gospel of Christ

The embodied Christ literally represents a

HOLISTIC New World new sociology

Grounded in the Gospel of Grace and

Rooted in the unique person and work of the

ONLY Holistic God-Man – namely the Incarnate LORD Jesus Christ

The New Anthropology and Sociology and

Pedagogy and Polity of the Gospel of Christ

Should and must mean a NEW Sociology

Of all healing and ‘helping’ professions

And a NEW accountability both UPWARD to Christ

And DIRECTLY downward to the ‘patient’ or client!

It also means a new sociology of illness, illness behaviours

And help-seeking behaviour

It also means a new understanding of health

And wholeness in Christ

This will require a RENEWED and

Far less hierarchical/hegemonic/dominating

Restructuring of all of life both organic and institutional

Inclusive of all medical and health service organisations

So as NOT to foster an unhealthy and disabling

Dependence on them or the Nanny State

Or lead to an unnecessary proliferation of bureaucracy

That drains the life energy out of vulnerable persons especially

This represents a FALSE investment in so called health services

The ‘management bias’ and the dominant

Values of extant medicine

Guided by the dominant values of an impersonal

‘Professionalised medicine’

Along with the ‘Medicalisation’ of personal and familial life

MUST be challenged and replaced with a

New and far more loving ‘Politics of Medicine’ – even

A whole NEW Sociology of Health and Illness

Even a Whole/Holistic New Sociology of Knowledge and

A New Sociology of Family and Gender

Of Sickness and Health and of Law and Order

Of the Sociology of Religion and Freedom of Conscience

Or Knowledge WITH true Science

Inclusive of a

Whole NEW Sociology of Work and employment

Of Socio-Technical systems and

How they impact Shalomic Human Relations

With a healthier organisational culture

Far more open to scrutiny and change

And best evidence demonstrated practice

Inclusive of the de-institutionalisation of conflict

Making for far less adversarial and far more

Healthy and hopeful relational outcomes

That does not overtax the complainants

And turn life into a treadmill or worse!

What is needed is a

A far more critical Christian or Radical Gospel perspective

Being brought to bear upon such regimes and regimens!

The Sociology of Doctor-Patient interaction

Must become more direct, accountable and humane

The social effects of different medical and psychiatric systems

Must be carefully evaluated to bring them into proper

Alignment with the Healing and Holistic

Mandate and ‘Medicinal’ and embodied Grace and Mercy of the

Healing and Transformative Gospel of Christ

Patient compliance with medical and psychiatric regimes

Must only be coerced as a last PROVEN resort

Other alternatives and second and third opinions

Must always remain the rights of patients and their carers!

Imposed drug regimens that demean and debilitate

And diminish the self-worth of patients

That HARM and may even destroy health

MUST be open to close scrutiny and be READILY abandoned

All of the aforementioned requires

A certain New Covenant of Grace and Grace-Based ‘Justice

‘Caveat’ of Counsel to be put in place

……………

Thus a Christian Servant and truly Scientific

Orthodoxy, Orthopathy and Orthopraxis

Of Medicine and the other helping ‘professions’

Of King Jesus’ Gospel of the New Creation

AND the Kingdom NOW Good News Culture

Is in MARKED contradistinction to:

The top down only use and misuse of power

And relations and sanctions

By the Command, Coercion and Control ‘authorities’

Of those hiding behind the (mis)use of Law

Fostering and sustaining inequalities of power

Promoting social closure and polysemic communication

Establishing a ‘monopoly of force’

Both structural and intentional

Incorporating a ruling secular Ideological apparatus

That goes part way to explain the (ac)quiescence of subordinates

By their pragmatic acceptance and also those co-opted or

Coerced by hegemonic incorporation into the

Secular ONLY dominant values of the ruling elites

Without the social benefit of properly

Tested operationalisation

Or the community good of

Best evidence practice and falsification

Leaving Christless and Merciless power structures and systems

Of mechanistic Political intervention and heartless social engineering

Fundamentally intact and rendered unaccountable

Manipulating the flow of information to

Buttress their positional power

Leading to goal displacement through the

Iron law of oligarchy

Leaving clients and persons they are supposed to serve

Left in the ‘Lurch’ of the Big Hand of Big Brother

Leaving the average and especially vulnerable persons

Without any earthly hope of ‘ontological security’

Stereotyping them as inferior, sad, mad or bad

Leaving life fruitless and meaningless and loveless

Dishonouring the authority and power of

The LORD Jesus Christ

Disembedding the memory of Gospel values and virtues

Embedding a false phenomenology of perception and power

Denying the virtue Epistemology of apt Christian belief

Denying the Emotional labour and personal cost of

Face to face agape love that honours all persons

And augments their own independent agency

Denying the necessity of the Holy Spirit to

Marshall our embodiment in order to re-habituate us to the

NOW Kingdom of God on earth through

Union and communion with the living and reigning Christ

"Where the Church’s practices are fundamentally

Divine works of descent and accommodation and

NOT human works of ascent and transcendence"

Where dominant and dominating secular liturgies of power

Are fuelled by the principalities and powers

Of an alien Christless and Loveless

Grace and Gospel Truth denying ‘Justice’

Denying a true pedagogy of desire that aims to produce

Thinking and competent, caring and compassionate

Personal and relational agents of healing

Thereby denying pluralism and freedom of conscience

Freedom of choice and religion

Refusing the ‘Counterformation’ of Christ

Being expressly contrary to the relational and

Organic analogy

Of the Tree of Life of Jesus Christ

And the auto-nomous self-law or will to power

Characteristic of BOTH the Romantic imagination

And the Rationalistic/

Totalitarian /Communistic will to power

Embracing the ‘dynamics of disenfranchisement’

And systematic oppression

Ruling out the crucial role and critical evaluation

Of the central core of faith and being,

Of the affective ‘priming’ and renewing of

The mind and affections and emotions of Christ within

With a new disposition of interface

And Gospel interaction toward this world

That does justice to our innate, native and pre-theoretical

Understanding of and navigation of this world

Such Christless autonomy or Neonomism or Galatianism

Finds itself outside of and contrary to Christological

Servant ONLY power of Gospel Love

As Liberating and Transformative and Empowering ALL!

Such Christless Self-law dressed as State Law

Is manifestly discordant with the Person and Principles

Parameters and Protocols of the NOW Kingdom of God on earth

As several authors and others have noted

The world generated by a right brain renewed

Apperception and Understanding of this world is

Characterised by a noetic and operational betweenness

Between the Unity of the One

And the Diversity of the Many individual persons

As in the Christian Godhead

Thus not idolising individualism NOR communism

Leaving both sides of the Brain

Both hands and feet – left and right

Not to do their own thing absolutely or independently

But in conjunction with each other

And in organic Unity with the Head of the Body of the Church

And of Humanity – who IS the LORD Christ Jesus

Who UNITES Grace and TRUTH

By giving pre-eminence to persons in prized relationships

As the Prodigal Father gifted to His Prodigal Son!

Over and against the extreme Left-minded ‘solutions’ and the

‘Right-Footed’ Rule and Bondage of Law and Punitivism

And creating a new ‘habitus’ or

A new Love inside-out generated orientation

Toward each other and to the world – lost and redeemed

That is carried within each one as a new way of life and action

Because of the Re-generation and Sanctification of

Christ the Other and Christ FOR all!

Especially for those who will believe!!

This is not true of an extreme Right and Left brain analysis

And Ratiocination that is in bondage to Legalism or Lawlessness

Or to the rigidity of selective compassion only

Or to the cold and calculating dire ‘deserts’ dreaming of a

Christless and Loveless Hard Calvinism!!

Both the Old and New Covenant traffics in very different

Poetic and parabolic and agrarian images and word pictures

As we have seen in earlier volumes

Like sowing, dwelling, waiting, cultivating, expecting, reaping, Ruminating, luxuriating, soaking, cleansing, seeing, hearing, Beholding, believing, dwelling, doing, feeling, soaring, roaring, Chasing, diving, walking, marvelling, manifesting, merging, Meeting, adventuring, fighting, climbing, arresting,

Abiding, abounding, achieving, maturing, arriving

Whereas certain Governmental or technological rituals

May reinforce a social imaginary in which the individual

Or the Totalitarian State is the Control Centre of the universe

Christian Worship and Witness and Work and Warfare and Wellbeing – attest to an intentionally DECENTERING

Personal and Relational Praxis and Practice

Namely: Decentring from self

Both a holistic Displacement and a Gracious Invitation

Super-centring on God in Christ

And Centring on the highest welfare of the other - THUS

Calling us all out ourselves and INTO the very

Personal and corporate Life

Presence and Redemptive purposes

Languages and Manifold Loves of the Triune

Father and Family God who is the Friend of sinners!!

As James J.A. Smith so rightfully says:

"If the rituals of social media and smart phones are involutional

The practices of Christian worship are fundamentally ecstatic

Calling us out of ourselves and into the life of the Triune God

Not to lose ourselves but to be found in Him

"Granted, there is still a call to vulnerability, even a kind of

Display in the call to confession

But that is not a competitive display

It is rather a vulnerability that is met with mercy and grace:

You confess your sins and are reminded once again that

You Have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3)"

"In a society of mutual self-display and debilitating self-consciousness

It is a special grace to be invited into a Story where we are hidden

With Christ in God, And being found in him, we are called out of ourselves To love neighbours and enemies, widows and orphans..."

"And herein lies a central aspect of Christian worship (and witness -jcw):

It is an alternative imaginary, a way that the Spirit of God invites us Into The story of God in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself.

But as we have seen, if such a story is really going to

Capture our imaginations, it needs to get into our gut-

It needs to be written on our hearts. And the way to our hearts is Through the body…"

(pp. 149-150 of Imagining the Kingdom by James. K. Smith, Vol 2, 2013)

We need to Intentionally and Intelligently

COUNTER the Stories

That Bracket or Delimit, Distort, or falsely Reframe

The Gospel of the NOW Kingdom of Jesus Christ

And the NOW KINGLY Mediatorial Divine-Human

Authority, Pneumatology and Soteriology

And Historical time Eschatology and Relational Ethics

Of the Saviour and now SOVEREIGN

Lord Jesus Christ – LORD of Heaven AND Earth!

Thus Christ and I ask the humble reader to

Radically RETHINK and REFEEL and Recalibrate

His reactions and his responses to both evil

And to Gospel good

In the Light and Love and Liberty and

Long-term View and Cosmic Resolution of the

NOW KING JESUS GOSPEL!

We need a NEW Reformation and new

COUNTER-CULTURAL , CHRIST-CENTRED Personal, Pastoral, Public and Political

Spiritual and Temporal occupational callings

Economic, Educational, Judicial and all others

Endowed with all the Gifts and Graces

Of the Spirit

And thus endowing and enabling

A richly ennobled

Happy and Harmonious

Comprehensive RE-FORMATION

Of the Regnant Christ in Persons, Society,

Church and State

In all the Seven Mountains of

The City and Society and Governance

Of God for Man and Christ in Man

With the Holy Spirit of God indwelling and Transforming all!

Fully Embracing CHRIST’S embodied Gospel of

GRACE and TRUTH – of Magisterial Mercy

And Mandatory Compassion and

Magistral FREE Pardon!

BINDING on all persons, States and Governances -

Belonging especially to that Co-inherent Community

Called ATONEMENT!

Being one for all and once-for-all

And NEVER to be repeated or supplemented

Or Denied or traduced

Either by the Church, Society or the Nation State!

THUS Recalibrating ALL of life

Inclusive of ALL Loves and all ‘Justices’

And ALL relations –

And all systems and structures

Both organic and institutional

In the Light of the Now KING JESUS –

BOASTING only in Christ and Him ONCE Crucified

As the Eikons of God and Christ

Boldly Declaring the whole Story of Jesus as Gospel

And so seeing OUR Story

Within the Bigger Story of God and

His Greater Glory

Of the God of Creation, the Fall

HISTORY and global Redemption -

Dealing with all the USURPATIONS of

Fallen and false Governmental Man

Personal and Collective

Overcoming the Failures of all

Provisional and obsolete

Bilateral Covenants with man

Ushering in the Promised Historical and

Predetermined world-wide

Historically Glorious ‘Golden Age’ Worldwide Revival - attended by

The eye-popping Gospelling SUCCESS on Earth

With the fulfilment of the Great Commission and The Demonstrated Jesus–Church-Kingdom

Successful Cosmic Dominion Cultural Mandate

Being a glorious answer to the LORD’s

High Priestly prayer and Promise of Christ!

Evidencing the Eternal and Timely

Blessed Historical SUCCESSION of the

UNILATERAL and UNFAILING NEW COVENANT OF GRACE ONLY

Without the WORKS and PUNISHMENTS

Of the LAW

With the Publication of the Gospel of the

NOW and coming Kingdom of God

Both NOW and into the Future

Leading to the Conversion and Discipleship of

ALL Nations

Pointing to the Marriage Supper of the

LAMB of GOD

With His Bride the true Valiant and Triumphant

Church of Christ

And the Final Consummation of all things

Through Christ in God as all in all

Inclusive of Israel and her Story

And the Destruction of Jerusalem

With the New Covenant Story of the conversion of

The engrafted Gentiles

The STORY of the BIG Blessed God who is AGAPE Love

With His Wonder-filled embodied glory of

Grace and Truth in the unique Person of Jesus

Manifest in the life and love and liberty

And the laughter of the LORD Jesus Christ

………………………..

Such aforementioned transformational changes

Will not eventuate until enough Good Gospel men

And faithful Christian women in the various

Health and Healing and Helping

And all other professions

Proactively prepare and position themselves

And actively seek as followers of Christ

To act as Christ’s Light, Salt and Leaven

To change the prevalent Christless culture

Rather than conform to the false values and virtues

Even the false realities and phony authority

Of the extant elitist systems and

Structures and services

This presupposes a renewed

Christianisation of our Culture

Through the Power and Authority of Christ

Working in and through followers of Christ

And people of excellence in all the callings of life

We DO need to truly Love our enemies

And to pity rather than judge or

Despise and hate them

Much less damn them or sentence them to hell

Though there is a lawful place for a

Gospel based and Graced ‘anathema’

For those who wilfully and stubbornly REJECT

The Gospel of the Free and Fulsome Pardon and

Grace of God

For even the worst of sinners and criminals

Including those who dare to MIX the PURE

Gospel of Christ and New Covenant of Grace Alone

With the pollution of the obsolete and powerless

Mosaical Law of God or the

‘Ministry of Condemnation’ (Read Rom.7:4-7)

And that Christless and Merciless and Cruel Law of

Prideful, Personal, Moralistic

Perversely ‘Pastoral’ and Public Governmental man! (Gal. 1)

Because they ALSO –like us in former times

Have been taken captive by the devil at his will

And are unable to deliver and save themselves

Being also slaves to sin and pride

We must love them even as Christ has loved us and saved us

In and from our sin and iniquity, pride, perversity and crime

Thus we MUST communicate our friendly acceptance of them as they are

For Christ’s sake and so for the Gospel’s and their sake as well

Thus we are and should be SEEN to be the FRIEND of sinners

Willing to cover their sins and save their face

Where at all possible

Because the GRACE-BASED JUBILEE

Debt-Free JUSTICE of AGAPE Love must be the

Supreme standard of right and wrong – action or inaction

Decision and Judicious Judgment!

Against which there is no other or HIGHER Law

This IS the ONLY Rule of the New Creation in Christ!

All possible informal and alternative

Avenues of confrontation and mediation and reconciliation

Should ordinarily be exhausted if we are not exhausted in the process!

And thus we must NOT expose them unjustly or unnecessarily

Or precipitously or presumptuously

To shame and public humiliation or Public prosecution

Especially when many innocents way well suffer

And despite their unreasonable and aggravating speech

And prideful, even criminal conduct

And so we must NOT become entangled with the

Dark demonic spirits that inhabit and control them

Nor with the human institutions

Governments and systems

That provide them a ‘lawful covering’

Even a Devilish shield and hiding place

From Public exposure

Though that ‘covering’ can and will and

MUST be exposed and fully defeated in due course

Thus our battle is NOT against flesh and blood

But against Dark spiritual powers in High Places

And so we must NOT trust in the weak arm of

Secular and fleshly, human or this world wisdom

We must be careful NOT to unnecessarily

Provoke or punish them

We must not make the mistake of

REACTING to them

Even the lying and truth-twisting

Leviathan and Pythonic crushing spirits (Ps. 56)

By allowing them or the Demon powers to

Get under our skin

So as to take the bait and be hooked by them

For when we lose our peace and joy

We are defeated already

Or are seen to be agitated and then

They will come in for the kill like a flood

Ordinarily by using the authority

Christ has given us

We can challenge and rebuke successfully

The dark demonic powers in Jesus Name

At other times when dealing with

‘World Ruling Spirits in high places’

We may well have to defer to God Himself

To repel and defeat these higher power enemies

We cannot or may not be called to confront directly And defeat this kind or class of enemies

When it may well be God’s prerogative

And much safer for us to expect God to do

What only He can do

We will need the vital Gift and instruction

Of the Discerning of Spirits before we

Attack and defeat such spiritual Strongholds

BUT we must NEVER fear them or their power

WE do not know what to do but Our eyes are upon You O God

Thus we MUST keep our eyes and emotions FIXED on Jesus

NOT on the Enemy and NOT on the Problem and NOT on the Pain

NOT on the Hindrance and not on their Hate and persecution of us

By faith – and thus put our hope and expectation

Not in the arm of flesh to kill the King of Pride (Job 41:34)

But in the Almighty God of Magisterial Mercy and Truth

In order to think clearly and judge righteously

………………….

Likewise we must strenuously oppose

IN the Name and Authority of Christ and in

the power of the spirit ONLY

The overbearing and interventionist State

That seeks control of vulnerable children and

Their families

Through the Christless and Merciless

Child Abuse Industry - with

Dr Fruit Loop and his so called Family friends

Without the siblings of ‘Uncle Fantasy’ and ‘Aunty Fun’

Without ‘brother Empathy and ‘Sister Sympathy’ (Paul Kraus)

Rather they weaponise Victimhood

Another brand of ‘Clown’ Medicos and

Belligerent Bullying Bureaucrats

That fails to soothe the hurt

But works the oracle

With another kind of honking horns

And crazy ECT gadgetry

No lullaby to orchestral grandness

That transposes head and heart

Another way of Doctoring

That fails to drop the still dews of quietness

That fails to heal

With no healing of memories

But only a pessimistic prognosis with a huge proboscis

Making for disordered lives and greater heats of desire

With no ego dying

Malignant not benign

Another thief that steals our shalom

Another cancer on the body politic

With greater proclivity for recycled violence

Exercising strong power with little aura of hope

Creating more and more victims and martinets

Recycling violence through hatred and enmity

All of this is Manifestly Contrary to Christ’s newly created

And NOW Redeemed world order

Ruthlessly usurped by the coercive powers of the

Totalitarian Big Brother and Grand Nanny States

Who in the abuse of their power

Constantly seek to impose on us

Their oracles of Christless Governance and Justice

Against our will, wishes and best interests!!

For ONLY Jesus is the Life of the Party

As the Author and Finisher of a Merciful and Generous

Peacemaking and Reconciling and Restorative and Transformative Egalitarian and Ennobling Justice

FREE and FAIR for all without exception and

Without distinction and

NOT based on personal worth or moral or heroic merit!

Or legal performance!

But ONLY on the FREE
