IO 89: May 09, 2012: The Official End of Christendom?

by Dr. Peter Jones on May 11, 2012

End of Christendom

May 9th 2012 is in many ways the final “sacralization” of the Sixties, where behind the pretext of the Golden Rule, the “revolution” fraudulently covers its unrestrained libido in the white robes of bridal purity.

IO 88: For Shame—Speech Crimes and Ideology

by Dr. Peter Jones on April 6, 2012

For Shame!

The hypocritical shaming of those who live by the old standards, seeks to integrate the general public into the new standards of “decency” and “shame”—where evil is good and good is evil

IO 87: Chrislam for Human Flourishing?

by Dr. Peter Jones on March 19, 2012

Neighborly love in Islam is an expression of the Golden Rule found in many religions. Ultimate self-giving love is found only in the Gospel, where God the Savior takes the sins of mankind on Himself.

Cherry picking elements from the message of Jesus for political purposes is both an act of theological vandalism and a false, unloving promise of “security.”

IO 86: Your “Spiritual-but-not-Religious” Neighbor

by Dr. Peter Jones on January 27, 2012

Sharing the Gospel

When I came to the States in 1964, the great enemy of the Christian Faith was Marxism, with “Commies behind every bush.” My wife recently told me that as a child she would lie awake at night worrying that she would give up her faith when persecuted by godless Soviet commissars.  In 1966 at Seminary, [...]

IO 85: The Real Christmas Nightmare – Joy from the World!

by Dr. Peter Jones on December 22, 2011

Picture of the Encinitas Self Realization Domes and a sign reading "Joy to the World."

At Christmas we celebrate a purely Two-ist joy: The Word, who exists outside and apart from creation as its Creator, took on flesh in order to save His people from their sins. But if One-ism were reality, what would we have to celebrate during this time of “Winter Holidays”?

IO 84: Only Two Religions? That Can’t Be True!

by Dr. Peter Jones on November 5, 2011

A neon sign which reads "Come and worship"

In Romans 1:25, Paul sums up in 25 Greek words the bedrock nature of spiritual conflict, be it in the Garden, in his own time, or, by implication, in ours. In this verse he lays out an irreducible age-old conflict between two opposing world views: the worship and service of creation, or, the worship and service of the Creator. These two options sum up the whole of reality.

IO 83: Witch Way?

by Dr. Peter Jones on October 6, 2011

Witch Way Will You Go?

On KBRT, a Los Angeles area Christian radio station, listeners may be caught unawares by very un-Christian teaching being broadcast on weekends. Dr. Jones takes a look at the spiritual roots of some of these broadcasts and their hosts, revealing the One-ism hidden beneath the surface.

IO 82: Something-ism

by Dr. Peter Jones on September 11, 2011

A man wearing a shirt which reads "My religion is to do good. - Emerson"

Many “Millennial Christians,” taught to embrace multicultural diversity, believe that being a follower of Jesus Christ is “not about defending some statement from a church creed or theology; it is about testifying to our relationship with Christ through a life of sacrificial love for all people.” Faith in experience and social action becomes the “new” Christianity. But the New Testament is full of creeds, statements of truth based on which Christians are called to belief and action. What are Christians to trust, and which belief is a One-ist lie instead of steeped in the truth of the Two-ist Gospel?

IO 81: Cheating Disorder

by Dr. Peter Jones on August 8, 2011

Cheating Disorder, by Dr. Peter Jones

The human race shares the divine essence expressed in the founding myths. Since joining evil and good brought reality into existence, human manipulation of good and evil will produce the final earthly utopia. Alas, this relativizing of good and evil turns the real chaos of an objectively troubled conscience into a virtual state of One-ist “guiltless bliss.” However, creation is the result of God speaking forth His own good will, unforced by any external power, with things carefully distinguished, each after its kind, and then calling the results of His work “good.” Evil has no part in His creating activity.

IO 80: Out of Left Field, a Perfect Storm

by Dr. Peter Jones on July 7, 2011

Protestor holding sign that reads, "Your religion has no place in my marriage."

Left field is now center-stage. Leading Republicans recently ensured that gay marriage became state law in New York. The sexually abnormal is the new normal, and our children’s future defies description. A worldview tsunami, made of the wildest waves of human fantasy, is bearing down on Western culture, which, shorn of its biblical moorings, will be carried helpless into a nightmare destruction of biblical values.
