Entry: Pentecost: Because Fire is Cool Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/pentecost_because_fire_is_cool#1515 Post contents: Mr. John Ball, I guess yourself and many other Roman Catholics and especially Protestants have not heard of the Temporal Order. There has not been much preaching on that; or better yet, the Church seems to be awfully silent on the subject. God said, "One race is evil" and so God seperated them. What Jesus reversed is the curse of Death on mankind. The Seperation of the races of men was not a curse. So no your analogy of the Resurrection is not a reversal of something concrete in the Temporal Order. God set up races as part and parcel of the Temporal Order. The Gospel and the Resurrection have no power over the Laws of the Temporal Order. They are immutable, just like Scripture is immutable. The Tower of Babel states that men began to gather in a plain and "one said to his neighbor". There was no King who commanded such. It was a natural action of "the earth being of one lip". You don't see miscegenation in the Temporal Order, why should it be allowed in the human race which is part and parcel of the Temporal Order? Furthermore, if the law of miscegenation is recognized in the Supranatural Order, like when St. Paul says Christians can NOT marry unbelievers, the principle of macrocosm/microcosm would also say that the same law exists in the Temporal Order as much as it exists in the Supranatural Order. On Truth, Cicero would disagree. Truth is NOT historical. Cicero said, "Truth is not one thing in Athens and another thing in Rome. Truth is not one thing today and another thing tomorrow." As Socrates points out, the criteria of Truth is consistency. Truth doesn't contradict truth. What Jesus reversed is the Curse of death and seperation that Adam and Eve incurred, not an historical truth or law of the Temporal Order. If the paradigm of Adam and Eve is Family, and the Trinity is a sort of a Family, then Family is the paradigm of all reality; again macrocosm/microcosm. The intermediate being between Family and the Trinity is Race. Race/Nation/Tribe/Ethnos is nothing but a Family; a large family, a family of interrelated Families. In the Book of Revelation, Jesus will judge "the nations". It is communist ideology that undermines and attacks nations/race. John Kiang in his book "One World" traces it to Karl Marx. The other word for communism is "International Socialism". "International" since it worked for the destruction of race/nation. I don't know but I don't think that Christian theology on a subject should be defined by communists. Sent at: 2008 10 06
