AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS HIGHJACKED THE BILL OF RIGHTS that, in turn, usurped the Bible's non-optional responsibilities (founded upon God's moral laws) and replaced them with a bunch of optional Enlightenment rights, so called.
So called because the only One with a right to anything is our God and Creator. Even life isn't a right except to our God. It's inherent in who He is as Creator.
For everyone else, life (and everything that comes with it) is gift from and responsibility to the One who created us. It's inherent in who we are as the created.
If life is our right then God was obligated to create us, making Him subservient to us. In turn, He would have no authority to judge us for what's our right to do with as we please.

The Frankfurt School, or Institute for Social Research, was set up by a group of Marxist intellectuals in Germany in 1923, affiliated to the University of Frankfurt and independently of the Communist Party, which has been influential in the development of Marxist theory ever since.
The Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief – or even the hope of belief – that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke socialist revolution. Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the Judeo-Christian legacy. To do this they called for the most negative destructive criticism possible of every sphere of life which would be designed to de-stabilize society and bring down what they saw as the ‘oppressive’ order. Their policies, they hoped, would spread like a virus—‘continuing the work of the Western Marxists by other means’ as one of their members noted.
To further advance their ‘quiet’ incremental cultural revolution (Fabian Socialism) – but giving us no ideas about their plans for the future – the School recommended (among other things):
Divide and Conquer.
The oppressed and their oppressors.
1. The creation of racism offenses.
2. Continual change to create confusion.
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children.
4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority.
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking/drug abuse.
7. Emptying of churches.
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime.
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits.
10. Control and dumbing down of media.
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family.
One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud’s idea of ‘pan-sexualism’ – the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:
• attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
• abolish differences in the education of boys and girls
• abolish all forms of male dominance – hence the presence of women in the armed forces
• declare women to be an ‘oppressed class’ and men as ‘oppressors.’
All of the above is correct and important. However, as a follower of Jesus Christ and a Biblicist, I continue to reflect on Jesus' insistence to the "teacher of Israel" and downstream to all of us, that "you must be born again".
It seems to me that when you are truly bought with the blood of Christ you are no longer for sale to the next highest bidder. However, when you are not "born again", not bought with the blood of Christ, then a bidder will come along who will eventually reach your selling price and at that point you then become a slave and are necessarily beholden to the one who bought you.
That to me seems to be the problem with every effort to redeem the culture without the overt effort to call upon the hand of Almighty God through His Son, Jesus Christ. Our strength pales in comparison to the enemy of our souls and the enemy of this country, but is more than sufficiently powerful to defeat that same foe when empowered by the Holy Spirit. "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
I commend all those who love and fight for this country but would insist that their efforts will fail against an immeasurably powerful foe unless they enlist the power of God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ.
As an aside, the Lord may be giving us a reprieve in saving President Trump as many people are praying for this country. But I believe that this reprieve is to be used to continue to usher as many as possible into the Kingdom of God before the wrath of God falls on this sin infested world. (2 Peter 3:9)
We must continue to warn others of the dangers of this world and the one’s to come in the next if they don’t truly know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
The traitorous president who signed the bill creating the Federal Reserve, in the same year he signed into existence the loathsome income tax, and later promised to keep the U.S. out of World War I, before taking us into that war, supposedly regretted handing over control of the government to a small cabal of dishonorable men. Politicians and Wall Street bankers have been using the debasement of our currency to enrich themselves at our expense, ever since.
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world — no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” – Woodrow Wilson – 1919

The Great Collapse of Society
The Frankfurt School and “Critical Theory”
The Frankfurt School, or Institute for Social Research, was set up by a group of Marxist intellectuals in Germany in 1923, affiliated to the University of Frankfurt and independently of the Communist Party, which has been influential in the development of Marxist theory ever since.

I agree with your assessment.
We must continue to warn others of the dangers of this world and the one’s to come in the next if they don’t truly know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Thank you Alex for continuing to be a watchman on the wall.
I am sure so many are appreciative and grateful for your service to us all.
I know I am.
