Thoughts from The Tangent College
The Secular/Religious False Paradigm
The Tangent College is “Grounded in Reality; Beyond Religion”.
Please understand this crucial point:
There is no distinction between the sacred and the secular. Furthermore, this delineation, the secular/religious paradigm, that creates a false reality which attempts to separate the religious from the secular, is a trick of the devil. It is a contrivance of Marxism and atheistic, evolutionary humanism.
Prior to Marxism and evolutionary humanism, which is the new accepted religion of the whole world, there was never a concept of the “secular”. It was to separate those who believe in the existence of God from those new humanists who don’t. And the religious bought into it. This false distinction between the secular and the religious appeals to the religious who do not demand reality as a fundamental element of their religion.
In reality there is only truth and falsehood. Any religion that exists outside of reality and truth is nothing more than idolatry and myth. I am a follower and a believer in Jesus Christ not because I need a religion, a religious family, or something to do on a Sunday morning, or some rituals that make me feel warm inside; but because it is the TRUTH. And Jesus is the WAY, TRUTH, and LIFE and that no one comes to the Father but through Him. This is the nonreligious, “secular” truth for ALL people. Secular means nonreligious. Secular does not mean atheism or humanism because both atheism and humanism are religious beliefs born out of faith.
It is the exact same faith that believes there is no God as that which believes there is a God. Religion has nothing to do with it, nor should it. Every single person exists and moves in faith; in what they believe in. The only thing that matters is the truthfulness of what you believe in; what you put your faith in.
The trick of the devil is to have you believe that the “secularists” have no faith, but rather rely on reason and scientific evidence. They attempt to marginalize the religious as “people of faith” or those who share a “faith tradition”. If these phrases do not sicken you, you might be a person who clings to their religion rather than the truth. The devil is not at all concerned or threatened by religion, but he is very much threatened by the truth. They want you to believe that the Bible is a book written by men (which it is – men inspired by God) and therefore is untrustworthy. But their hypocrisy is that their Scriptures, “the science” is also written by men, and altered by men on a continuous basis as it suits man’s ambitions.
The purpose of this false paradigm is to separate the “religious” out of the new atheistic worldview where God obviously no longer exists. Atheism became the new reality of the non-existence of God. Science became the new scripture. Evolution became the new creation story. All of the religious people were allowed to have their quaint religions as long as they didn’t interfere with the this new “secular” religion.
And the religious Christians adopted this a new speak by separating themselves from the secular. They bought into the religious/secular paradigm.
The other devilish trick that the religious/secular paradigm introduced was the ecumenicalism of all religions. In other words, all the “religious” people joined together in a false unity against this made up concept of secularism. In doing so, the distinctions between the religious beliefs – their truthfulness or falsehood – became unimportant and merely a matter of subjective preferences among various people groups who had different, but equally valid, “faith traditions”.
The most obvious and hideous example of this is the confounded politically expedient union between the religion of Christianity and the religion of Judaism which is called Judeo/Christianity. Religion loves religion. Under this new secular/religious paradigm, religion can easily coexist with other religions as it fights the phony war against “secularism”. However, the truth does not coexist with falsehood. Light does not coexist with darkness. Christ does not coexist with antichrist. The supreme irony: Judaism is supportive of Christianity but is violently opposed to Jesus Christ.
Jesus put it very plainly, because he was not religious, though He was born a Jew “He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.” – Matthew 12:30. Jesus was not concerned with advancing His religion but he spoke words of sober truth. I will ask you, are the Jews of today, those who practice Judaism, and atheistic Jews in Israel and throughout the world, followers of Christ? Are they with Christ? Then according to Jesus’s words, they are against Him. If you are against Christ, then you have the spirit of antichrist. It is really that simple. One is either Pro-Christ or antichrist.
These words of Jesus in Matthew were delivered right after the Pharisees accused Him saying, “This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.” Were the Pharisees with Christ or were they antichrist? The answer is obvious. But the religious cannot see the obvious or they will not look upon the obvious because they cower behind the safe walls of their religion.
To amplify what Jesus said about money,“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God (Christ) and mammon (Israel).
I didn’t think I would get to this point, but this is a perfect segue into Seth Hancock’s reposting of Brian Shilhavy: ‘It is Time for All True Believers in Jesus Christ to Leave the American Zionist Christian Churches’. We as true believers and followers of Christ must look at the truth and abandon our politically based Zionist religion of Judeo/Christianity. It is also referred to as the “Hebrew Roots Movement”.
This is a deep dive into many aspects of this twisted religion. This is everything you wanted to know about Zionism and modern day Israelism but were afraid to look at. Freedom is found in the light of truth. Darkness is found in the halls of religion. Truth is clear. Religion is cloudy.
Please remember these secular (non-religious) truthful words of Jesus Christ:
“I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled! “But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! “Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two, and two against three. “They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
And He was also saying to the multitudes, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. “And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a hot day,’ and it turns out that way. “You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time? “And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?” – Luke 12:49-57
“…However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” – Luke 18:8
