Principles on the Public Lie; Kulturkampf: the Conflict of Cultures over the Worldviews of Progressives & Traditionalists; the Invisible Impact of the Pivot

		28)	Young believers today have a great burden placed upon them by this generation.  The Progressive worldview has so distorted traditional standards that the minds and souls of the youth are contaminated with the distortions of the Public Lie.
			Notes on the Public Lie:
			Illustration: The public lie against Moses included these two missiles of propaganda: (1) “Moses brought the Jews out of Egypt to kill time off in the desert,” Exodus 16:3; 17:3; Numbers 16:13, and (2) “Moses will put out the eyes of anyone who opposes him,” Numbers 16:14.
			The public lie is initiated by those who lust for power and is believed by those who hate whoever is the target of the lie.  The public lie is used to eliminate those who get in the way of those who lust for power.
			Those who believe the public lie are described by Paul in Romans 1:25, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.”
			The Lord identified the source of the public lie in John 8:43-44, “Why do you not understand what I am saying?  Is it because you cannot hear My word?  ¶ “You are of your father the devil and you want to do the desires of your father.  He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him.  Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar, and the father of lies.”
			The public lie is usually structured to discredit establishment principles in the area of temporal leadership and authority.  It is often designed to discredit those who communicate the Word of God.  Without doctrine the believer is vulnerable to the public lie.
			The public lie is designed by those who lust for power to manipulate and control those who oppose or disagree with them.  In the area of current affairs those with power lust and who wish to manipulate the masses into their Progressive lair will create public lies on any number of subjects, for example: anti-capitalism; anti-oil (which is anti-prosperity); anti-capital punishment; anti-military action to confront our enemies; anti-Semitism.
			Students are being fed the public lie, for example, the public lies that (1) the Constitution establishes a wall of separation between church and state (which suppresses free exercise of religion), (2) that assimilation into our culture is Eurocentric and therefore all cultures must coexist in a multicultural diversity (thus all religions and all cultures become coequal, no one superior to the other), (3) that to regulate these competing ideologies, political correctness must be imposed on the dominant Eurocentric culture; (4) and this political correctness is to be enforced by those who support a Progressive worldview; (5) that biblical principles may not contradict this worldview but must instead conform to it regardless of proof including, (6) global warming (which denies that Jesus Christ controls history and that we are graciously given all the resources we need to last for at least 1,007 more years), (7) evolution (which denies that Jesus Christ created the human race), (8) the Big Bang (which denies that Jesus Christ created the universe), and (9) that those who refuse to conform will be regulated by judicial activists on the courts (who have become the Brownshirts for the Progressives).
			This agenda includes the indoctrination of children in government schools into all these public lies.  In addition, children are indoctrinated by sex education courses that emphasize the mechanics of sex without mention of soul rapport in marriage; homosexuality is presented as a “normal” expression of sex, and marriage is defined loosely to include unions other than one man to one woman.
			The public lie is often presented by means of a rhetorical veil which is designed to conceal while it advances a hidden agenda which is to promote of a Progressive worldview.
		29)	Consequently the challenge for young believers is to make the hard choice of what they intend to do about their responsibilities to the Lord.  Will you buy into the lie and become a part of the problem or will you orient to truth and become a part of the solution?
		30)	Do you find this discussion of the impact that believers have on world history to be valid or not?  If you do not, do you understand that Scripture is filled with episodes of divine punishment upon nations that agree with you?
		31)	For a client nation to survive it must have one culture and that culture must have as its underpinnings the principles of biblical establishment and the resident Pivot must be advancing in the plan of God by learning and executing the doctrines revealed in Scripture.
		32)	The United States have no single dominant culture anymore but instead are in what can be described as a death struggle between Progressives (Blue States) and Traditionalists (Red States) to determine which ideology will become the prevailing worldview.
		33)	There are three German words that help define this conflict:
1)	Zeitgeist \sīt' gīst\: Literally the “spirit of the times.”  It refers to the current status of a given people’s disposition, attitude, or ideology.  The general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era.
2)	Weltanschauung \velt' än‑shäw‑ang\: The conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint.  A worldview.  The two presently competing for dominance are the Progressive and Traditional.  Therefore, the current Zeitgeist that describes this conflict can be described by the word:
3)	Kulturkampf \koul‑tour' kämpf\:  Literally, “culture conflict.”  A conflict between cultures or value systems.
		34)	The current conflict of cultures has to do with whether the United States are going to return to Traditional standards or become totally conformed to Progressive standards. 
		35)	The word “culture” may be defined as: The knowledge, beliefs, and behavior of a social group which are generally accepted as their way of life (Zeitgeist).  A nation’s culture thus becomes its code or worldview (Weltanschauung).
		36)	The “way of life,” “code,” and “worldview” of the Pivot should be the same from generation to generation.  If they are not then trouble is afoot in the client nation.  Therefore, the Zeitgeist and Weltanschauung that is taught by the Word of God must be transmitted to each succeeding generation.  If they are not then the culture it has created will devolve into Kulturkampf—a conflict of cultures.
		37)	If biblical thought is not strong enough to stem this tide then the culture becomes transformed by believing the Public Lie.  The resultant adoption of a Progressive Weltanschauung cannot stand the trials of life or the test of time.
