Pedophilia; the new
sophistic sickness?
“"From
my experience, pedophilia is actually an illness. It's not a criminal
condition, it's an illness," he had said” [Cardinal Wilfred Fox Napier].
“I
am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the
standards of ours.”
“Frances
argued that such diagnostic constructs “also medicalize undesirable sexual
behavior and thereby provide a psychiatric excuse helpful to those who are
attempting to evade personal responsibility.””
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
Doctrines
of devils and the Oxford Movement employ sophistry [deceptive and false reasoning historically employed by Jesuits] to redefine drunkenness
“"After
years of struggling with the guilt and condemnation that came from thinking
that his drinking was his own fault and that it stemmed from a moral defect in
his character, Wilson was relieved to learn from a medical doctor that his drinking
was due to an 'allergy.'" 16 A.A.'s official biography of
Wilson relates,
Bill
listened, entranced, as [Dr.] Silkworth explained his theory. For the first
time in his life, Bill was hearing about alcoholism not as a lack of will
power, not as a moral defect [sin], but as a legitimate illness....Bill's relief was
immense. 17…
Bill
would..."get" these things [from the spirit world]...long sentences,
word by word would come through...." 22
[A]s he started
to write [the A.A. manual], he asked for guidance....The words began tumbling out
[automatic writing] with astonishing speed.... 23
“Wilson joined the
Oxford Group and regularly attended its meetings at Calvary Church (NY),
pastored by Episcopalian Sam Shoemaker. Shoemaker urged his hearers to
"accept God however they might conceive of him...." 26 Here
was the origin of Step 3's "God as we understood him."”
The
Oxford Group had been founded by Frank Buchman (a Lutheran minister). It later
became Moral Re-Armament (MRA) through the mystical
"guidance" that was a large part of Buchman's life and which carried over both into MRA and A.A.
“A
humble Catholic [Jesuit] priest who never had a drinking problem was one of the
founders of A.A. in St. Louis, according to Bill W. He was Father Edward P.
Dowling, S.J., who also became one of the first clergymen to endorse A.A. and
make a personal effort to bring men and women into the Fellowship, beginning in
1940.”
All roads lead to Rome.
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:14)
Biblical
truth and warning
And
when the Pharisees saw it, they
said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance (Matthew
9:11-13)
That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever
believeth on him shall not be ashamed (Romans 10:9-11)
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God (I
Corinthians 6:10)
Take
heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this
thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee
(I Timothy 4:16)
By the which will we are sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily
ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take
away sins: But this man, after he had offered
one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From
henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For
by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified (Hebrews 10:10-14)
