R.J. Rushdoony wrote this essay for The California Farmer back in 1967; and what he saw then has become painfully clearer now, 51 years later.

And this, mind you, was before there were any Clergy for Choice, goddess worship workshops, transgender preachers, and “gay marriages” blasphemously performed under the church’s roof.
I think he saw it coming.
It’s far worse today.
Mr. Rushdoony certainly had insight into the things plaguing the church – which in truth isn’t a religion or an institution, but the body of Christ. As UnKnowable said, it’s far worse today than when the article was written. Giving the government a foot in the door with 501c3 hasn’t helped.
I consider R.J. Rushdoony a modern-day prophet. Read his books and see for yourself. “The Institutes of Biblical Law” is a good one to start with. It can be read for free on http://www.Chalcedon.edu if you can figure out how to maneuver their search engine.
We are trying to make that easier. I am not part of that effort. For obvious reasons.
Lee, just a heads up – comments are disabled for the cat video and also for the reblogged post from Christian Apologist
Cat comments re-enabled: but my display says comments are on for the reblog. I checked twice.
P.S.–Would you believe it? Only one Like for all my posts today, put together. How does everybody else and his brother ring up all those Likes?
Rushdoony in so many ways was prophetic
Ever read his “The Mythology of Science”? Wow.
Wow that is one I want to get to this summer!
