The case against the de-judaization of Christianity and Supersessionism

Christianity cannot be separated from its Jewish roots; rather, it is the fulfillment of a distinctly Jewish story. The Christian faith is grounded in the covenant God made with Israel, beginning with Abraham and unfolding through the Law, the prophets, and the worshiping life of Israel. Jesus himself was a Jew, born under the Jewish Law, formed by synagogue worship, and understood by his earliest followers as the Jewish Messiah. The very title ‘Christ’ (Messiah) has meaning only within Jewish messianic expectations, and the Christian claim about Jesus presupposes the reality of Israel’s covenantal history.

Nihilistic pathos of liberal, progressive, and identity theologies.

Progressive Christianity does, in fact, assert an ancient heresy condemned at the First Council of Nicaea. Arius, and later Eunomius, taught that Jesus was created and therefore not eternal. In the words of Arius himself, “there was a time when He was not.” In addition to this, Progressive Christianity rejects the traditional doctrines of Hell, Heaven, and the Resurrection, as can be clearly seen in its teachings and examples. So what is Progressive Christianity? At a high-level overview, it is a Marxist social-justice movement grounded in neo-Marxist deconstruction and the lower textual criticism characteristic of liberal theology. It denies the supernatural events of the Bible and reinterprets Scripture to conform to the aims of postmodern identity politics. Ultimately, it is anti-American. To remind us of the great words of Eric Voegelin: “The death of the spirit is the price of progress. Nietzsche revealed this mystery of the Western apocalypse when he announced that God was dead and that he had been murdered.” In a similar fashion, progressive Christianity is postulating the “death of God”, only in a more perfidious and sinister way.

The Walking Dead as Paradigm and Simulacrum of the Apocalypse (Part I)

A legendary television series, The Walking Dead, was far more than a conventional post-apocalyptic survival narrative situated within the familiar conventions of the zombie genre. Rather, it functioned as a paradigm and simulacrum of tragic, agonizing reality, exposing the eschatological fragility of late modern civilization and dramatizing the impending collapse of civilization. What appears as popular entertainment reveals itself, upon closer examination, as a theological-political allegory of the contemporary world.
