America’s Godly Heritage

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Active humanists and the liberal media have for years undertaken a concentrated effort to misinform the American public by attacking the “Religious Right” and rewriting America’s Judeo-Christian history in a humanistic tone. The motto at the heart of the American experiment “in God we trust” has been exchanged for “in Man we trust.” Rewriting History The last three generations of Americans simply have not been told the truth about American history as its Christian heritage has been disparaged. For example, … Continue reading →

World Views: Atheism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Atheism claims there is no God. The word atheism is a transliteration of a Greek word which means “without God.” The word atheos is used in Ephesians 2:12 describing the condition of being without the true God. That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: – Ephesians 2:12 Christians were at one time called atheists because they … Continue reading →

Humanist Manifesto II

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

It is forty years since Humanist Manifesto I (1933) appeared. Events since then make that earlier statement seem far too optimistic. Nazism has shown the depths of brutality of which humanity is capable. Other totalitarian regimes have suppressed human rights without ending poverty. Science has sometimes brought evil as well as good. Recent decades have shown that inhuman wars can be made in the name of peace. The beginnings of police states, even in democratic societies, widespread government espionage, and … Continue reading →

What is Truth?

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

What is truth?, you might ask. That’s what Pilate asked Jesus (John 18:38), and people are still asking today. The Greek word used in Scripture for truth is alétheia [Strongs 225]. In ancient Greek culture, alḗtheia was synonymous for “reality” as the opposite of illusion, i.e. fact.  Truth is that which is real, not an illusion. Mark Passio says “TRUTH is OBJECTIVE, meaning that it is NOT based on the perceptions of human beings (which is capable of wavering). Truth … Continue reading →

Cultural Marxism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Emerging on the American scene in the mid-1930’s and igniting the culture war in recent years across America is what has been termed “Cultural Marxism“. The strategy of Cultural Marxism to bring change to America. The long march through the institutions (German: der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen) is a slogan coined by student activist Rudi Dutschke to describe his strategy for establishing the conditions for revolution: subverting society by infiltrating institutions such as the professions. This was an idea … Continue reading →

Humanism and its Aspirations

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Humanism is a system of thought that centers on humans and their values, capacities, and worth; the doctrine emphasizing a person’s capacity for self-realization through reason. Humanism’s god is Man. The humanists may acknowledge God, but only as a means to an end. Their version of Christianity is not Biblical. It is full of fleshly and worldly ways. It is more for entertainment rather than for God’s glory alone. Since the Holy Spirit is not in it they must counterfeit … Continue reading →

Seven Major Teachings of the New Age

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. [Colossians 2:8] New Age is not new … it is a modern revival of ancient religious traditions, along with a potpourri of influences: Eastern mysticism, modern philosophy and psychology, science and science fiction, and the counterculture of the 50s and 60s. “… So here we are in the New Age, … Continue reading →

Urban Legends of the Presidency

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

When the United States was first founded, it took a while for them to concede to even have a President at all. It was believed that having one central executive figure would be too much like having a king – something they still shuddered at the thought of. Well, in terms of how kingdoms tend to inspire legends, they were at least partly right – quite a bit of folklore has grown up around the office of President. Let’s get … Continue reading →

Humanist Manifesto I

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

The time has come for widespread recognition of the radical changes in political beliefs throughout the modern world. The time is past for mere revision of traditional attitudes. Science and economic change have disrupted the old beliefs. Religions the world over are under the necessity of coming to terms with new conditions created by a vastly increased knowledge and experience. In every field of human activity, the vital movement is now in the direction of a candid and explicit humanism. … Continue reading →

The World View of Liberalism/Modernism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Liberalism or sometimes called Modernism attempts to adapt religious ideas to modern culture and modes of thinking. Liberalism is a major shift in theological thinking which occurred in the late nineteenth century. Liberals insist that the world has changed since the time Christianity was founded so that biblical terminology and creeds are incomprehensible to people today. Although most would start from the orthodoxy of Jesus Christ as the revelation of a savior God, they try to rethink and communicate the … Continue reading →

World Views: Pragmatism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Pragmatism is more concerned with what ‘works’ than with what is true. In the absence of objective truth, how are we to decide which of two possible actions is preferable? The answer is provided by the only philosophical system made in America: pragmatism which maintains that the value of ideas is determined by their consequences. Developed by the 19th-century American philosophers Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and others, this philosophical doctrine holds that the test of the truth of a … Continue reading →

What is a World View?

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Everyone has presuppositions, a general set of beliefs, a grid through which we perceive everything that happens – a general belief about what is true, and every person will live more consistently on the basis of these presuppositions than even they themselves may realize. A world view is the cherished premises or assumptions you hold about ultimate reality, human beings, and the relationship between the two. James Sire defines world view as, “a set of presuppositions or assumptions which we … Continue reading →

World Views: Monotheism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

There is only one God, the God of the Bible, the Creator of all that exists, that stands outside the universe and is not a part of it. Only three modern religions share this viewpoint, and all of them are based on the revealed religion of ancient Israel. Judaism Christianity Islam . The book of Genesis begins by assuming that there is only one true God, and that assumption is maintained throughout the OT. Both the OT and NT begin … Continue reading →

World Views: Marxism/Leninism

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Faith in god is an aberrant belief arising out of the pressures of the class struggle. A well-developed atheistic worldview is that of Marxism/Leninism. Marxism sees religion and God as man made institutions invented to ease emotional pain and explain life and death. Karl Marx called religion the… “opiate of the masses,” in that it deadened the desire for social change in the present with a hope of heaven. With ties by marriage to Nathan Mayer Rothschild, one of the … Continue reading →
