@hazlin >The modern Christian blames everyone outside of "their group". >They say, "because of [this wrong] of the majority that we are under judgement!"
friends this is like the most winningest mindset ever:
"For as it is said to the Elect, Act like men, and He shall comfort your heart; [Ps. 31, 24. Vulg.] so the minds of carnal men, which serve God with a yielding purpose, are not undeservedly called ‘women.’
What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? As though he said, ‘If we are bent upon eternal blessings, what wonder if we meet with temporal evils?’ Now these blessings Paul had his eye fixed on with earnest interest, when he submitted with a composed mind to the ills that fell upon him, saying, For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [Rom. 8, 18]
For it is meet that the holy mind restrain by spiritual correction whatever of a carnal nature within it utters rebellious muttering, that the flesh whether by speaking severe things may not draw it into impatience, nor yet by speaking smooth ones melt it to the looseness of lust.
Therefore let manly censure, reproving the dictates of unlawful imaginations, hold hard the dissolute softness of what is base in us, by saying, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh.
And, on the other hand, let the consideration of the gifts repress the discontent of bitter thought, saying, Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? And whoever desires to get the mastery of his vices, and goes forward to the eternal heights of inward recompense [retributionis] with the steps of a true purpose, the more he sees himself to be on every hand beset with the war of the vices, the more resolutely he arrays himself with the armour of the virtues, and fears the darts the less, in proportion as he defends his breast bravely against their assault."
are you familiar with the Rockefeller-Fabians @sickburnbro ?
this Elizabeth Nickson lady seems to do good reporting, and offers a hope-filled piece regarding the future (unusual in tone for dissident rightist literature)...
@SuperLutheran hello Super i am glad you seem to be doing well
i recall a 4chan greentext from a martial arts fella describing what he called "road work" meaning the effects that years of 2+ hours of running on asphalt did for his fighting game...
reportedly, when he started doing martial arts the other practitioners couldn't believe his stamina... and just how hard his shins were from nothing more than such running...
he said these so-called black belts and other fighters lacked endurance... stamina... hardness of body... and that he was disappointed that he was able to keep up if not defeat these guys for simple lack of physical conditioning. i never forgot that. you make it sound like "road work" really works, eh?
