It has legalized abortion and homosexuality, and increasingly, euthanasia.
“Cesar’s household,” in Philippians 4:22, may refer to cabinet-rank officials. Romans 16:23 mentions Erastus the chamberlain of the city.”
The early church faced the issue of lordship or sovereignty. The church's response was, "Jesus Christ is Lord" (Phil. 2:9-11), not Caesar. For Christians, theocracy must be the normal pattern of all government, because God alone is Lord or sovereign. It is basic to the madness of our time, and of all apostate history, to assert the sovereignty of man or of the state (Gen. 3:5).
The distinctives of the theonomic ethic are at least six. Theonomy holds that Old Testament Law (often called “the Mosaic Law,” but actually wider than the Mosaic Law code) is:1. Binding (that is, we are obliged to obey it for our sanctification); and2. Relevant (in that all our Lord does is governed by all-wisdom and all-knowledge, thus making His Word practical for all times and applicable for all situations),3. When properly interpreted (taking into account the full significance, purpose, and situation of the original intent of the various laws individually considered), and4. Properly applied (the flow of redemptive history must be taken into account and the New Testament precepts and principles must be given their full significance.)5. Thus, the details of the Law are essential to Law-keeping (they form an essential part of the Law, as parts to the whole), and6. Are meant to equitably observed by man on the personal, social, and civil levels of human existence.From God’s Law in the Modern World: The Continuing Relevance of Old Testament Law by Kenneth L.

Jean-Jacques philosophy as laid out in Emile is the foundation of modern education. Paul Johnson’s Intellectuals describes Rousseau as “An Interesting Madman.”
Born in 1712 to a “Calvinist” family in
This one man embodies the principles of the French revolution, three decades before reality hit.
His book Emile, detailed his ideology that “In short by transferring his responsibility to the state ‘I thought I was performing the act of a citizen and father and I looked on myself as a member of Plato’s Republic.”
Plato laid out that “No child shall know his father and no father shall know his child.” He believed that no man was as loving, compassionate, caring, he would never quarrel but was found to love quarreling.
He was a precursor to Marx, and believed that private property was evil, the source of social crime, and that “The poor are victims of the rich.”
Let’s see how loving, compassionate, and caring he was. He had at least three mistresses. One of his long-time live-ins, for 33 years, Therese Lavasseur gave birth to a child in the winter of 1746-47. He had the midwife take the baby to the Hopital des Enfants-trouves, “With ‘The greatest difficulty in the world’ he persuaded Therese that the baby must be abandoned ‘to save her honour.’ She obeyed with a sigh…Four other babies he had by Therese were disposed of in exactly the same manner.”
In justification for his rank cruelty “He blamed the wicked circle of godless intellectuals among whom he then moved for putting the idea of the orphanage into his innocent head. Then, to have children was an ‘inconvenience’. He could not afford it. ‘How could I achieve the tranquility of mind necessary for my work, [if] my garret were filled with domestic cares and the noise of children?’ He would have had to ‘stoop to degrading work, to all those infamous acts which fill me with such justified horror’. ‘I know full well that no father is more tender than I could have been.’ ”
“Something had to take his place, and that something was the State in the form of the orphanage.”
As Kevin Swanson recounted, “Someone asked him, ‘Jean-Jacques what did you have, boys or girls?’ ‘Oh, I forgot to check the gender.”
5% of children in the orphanage survived to adulthood, and most became beggars and vagabonds who grew up to be the French Revolutionary backbone of the violent overthrow of the Louis XVI, the Aristocracy, and the Christianity of France.
Rousseau was an aimless vagabond going from place to place without purpose. A man with out God is purposeless.
As Kevin Swanson says, “Modern man is lost and lonely, lost without Truth and lonely without relationships.”
“Until he was well into his thirties, Rousseau led a life of failure and of dependence, especially on women. He tried at least thirteen jobs, as an engraver, lackey, seminary student, musician, civil servant, farmer, tutor, cashier, music-copier, writer and private secretary.” He held the post of secretary to the Comte de Montaigu, the French ambassador to
The French revolution is a testimony to what happens to a society that drives out Christianity. The Catholics drove out the Huguenots, and later the French purged the Catholics. Christians are the foundation of culture. When you drive out the Christians your culture unravels, economically and morally, and this gave rise in 1789 to the French Revolution bloodbath when some 300,000 people were murdered. Robespierre had a plan to kill all the farmers in
Rousseau believed that society owed him, helping him meant that you were helping yourself. After staying at the Chateau of the Duc de Montmorency-Luxembourg he wrote a letter expressing that, “I will neither praise you nor thank you…the ploy worked beautifully, the Duchess replying apologetically: ‘It is not for you to thank us—it is the Marshall and I who are in your debt.’”
Rousseau believed that man was a part of the State, and his identity was with the State.
“Laws made under the authority of the General Will must, by definition, have moral authority. [Rousseau said,] ‘The people making laws for itself cannot be unjust.’ ‘The General Will is always righteous.’” In other words the voice of the people is the voice of God. The god-like State is authoritarian and also totalitarian. It is the nanny of all and friend of none. The difference between this and Christianity is that we believe God created the world and gave us His law to live by. On the other hand humanism is, “The placing of man at the center of all things, and making him the measure of all things.
“The axis of Rousseau’s ideas was the citizen as the child and the State as the parent. He insisted that the government should have complete charge of the upbringing of all children. Hence – and this is the true revolution Rousseau’s ideas brought about – he moved the political process to the center of human existence by making the legislator...into the new messiah...‘Everything,’ he wrote, ‘is at root dependent on politics.’”
He saw virtue as the product of good government.
Genesis 3:5b “You will be like God, knowing [determining] good and evil.” Instead God has written his law on our hearts. It’s not left up to the dictates of the “General Will.”
David Hume and Voltaire both called Rousseau “a monster”
The wizards that peep and mutter are the false philosophers and intellectuals that do not speak according to God's law:
“To the law and to the testimony!
If they do not speak according to this word
there is no light in them.” Isa. 8:20
1. Those so-called Intellectuals and many of these Philosophers lived immoral lives. These men want you to drop off your children at the local humanist
3. We are citizens of and find our identity in a State that replaces God. And we’re proud of it!

5. Karl Marx said in the Communist Manifesto said “replace Home-education with social.” But why? Because we’ve got to destroy the family.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

One of the greatest things Dad has done for us is love Mom and praise her in front of us.
If a man does not love his wife it is a picture of Christ not loving the church. That blasphemes Him before the world and especially the children in that man's home. A girl I know once said that she would rather be a mistress than a wife because she thought a mistress would be treated better. Her father is an ordained minister, but does not love or honor his wife.

Folic acid supplementation is dangerous – especially for pregnant women
Women who take supplemental folic acid increase their breast cancer risk by 20-30%, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers collected data on women's folic acid intake from multivitamins over a 10-year period – they found that the women who took multivitamins containing folic acid were more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those that did not. 1,2
If folic acid can have these dangerous effects, why is it included in most
multivitamins, prenatal vitamins and fortified grain products?
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a member of the family of B vitamins that is involved with DNA synthesis and DNA methylation, which essentially turns genes on and off. Because of these crucial functions, folate plays important roles in fetal development and nerve tissue health as well as cancer initiation and progression.
Unlike synthetic folic acid, folate obtained from food sources – especially green vegetables – protects against breast and prostate cancer.

Parents are always looking for role models for their children. Whether it is a sports figure, musician, political leader, or other public figure, the temptation is to motivate by means pointing to an exemplary life. The problem is that often those lives are not exemplary and much of what is known about them is crafted fiction...
