Curriculum Reminder

[Ed Hurst]

Just so one one gets lost, we are not aiming to build up Kiln of the Soul parish, nor the Radix Fidem religion. That will happen, but it's not our goal. The purpose of the curriculum is to offer to as many folks as possible the full divine heritage of the Covenant of Christ. You may notice the parts I keep posting in my blog don't carry some of our common teaching. That's because I'm trying to make it more generic. The idea is to push the heart-led way, which includes a heavy dose of Biblical Law. Once people latch onto those things, it doesn't matter what group they belong to. The more specific stuff we do here naturally appeals to a very small audience.

Eventually this curriculum will be published as an ebook with a title something like "The Heart of Biblical Living."

I suppose when you have people (especially people of different temperaments and interests) actually involved like we do here, the mission gets narrowed down as a matter of course. I'd like to think I'm sorta keeping things open ended to have a broad appeal, but things don't work out like that. Not that I really have a preference of one over the other, it's just how I viewed it. I'm perfectly fine with being wrong about that

Of course, Jay. We must follow our convictions and consequences can take care of themselves. We can be aware of things that we cannot directly engage and let them take their own course.

I'll give an example: I don't expect to break Christians from the bad habit Dispensationalism. I didn't include that in the book and I don't spend a lot of time pursuing that problem except among those who are closer. And only a few know that I consider the Holocaust a myth. Not entirely, though -- the Jews were persecuted, rounded up and sent to labor camps. But there was no attempt to exterminate them, only to keep them from exerting pressure and taking over all the various European governments. The Jewish leadership in Europe at that time was a genuine threat, and they won in the end (using socialism). Their program has continued to this day, succeeding quite handily here in the US.

Unlike the Nazis, both the originals and the current mixture of flakes, we have no interest in restraining their political dreams. We know beyond all doubt that those dreams are a lie of Satan, and cannot come to fruition. In due time their work will implode and their institutions collapse from internal rot. We see no reason to fight them on politics, but only to fight them in the sense of exposing their agenda. I would like to do a better job of exposing how they hijacked the mainstream Christian institutions starting way back with Constantine, but I have other tasks in front of me right now.

So I'll save that stuff for another day, but there's nothing wrong with discussing it in our small group of brothers and sisters here. It would be a wonderful thing some day if God's children were free from every form of deception like that, but I believe the start is the heart-led way, which includes a fresh appreciation for the grace of God underlying Biblical Law.
