Oppenheimer, Truman and the Bomb - The Wrong Worldview
August 11, 2023
What happens to a world that has abandoned a Christian worldview and has reverted to a science that does not fear God? Scorched earth warfare came back with a vengeance in the civil war under the military leadership of Sherman and Sheridan, and continued through the 20th century. The modern humanist-scientist developed a technology that could destroy a fairly large percentage of the world's population rather quickly. J. Robert Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi are responsible—more aligned with a secular materialist, agnostic, and Hindu worldview than a Christian worldview. Then, Truman and Stimson were responsible for pushing the buttons. Nimitz, MacArthur, and Eisenhower were not supportive. But the more fundamental question is: How does this stand up against Deuteronomy 20?

Women on average are making 32% more than they did in 1979 (on weekly earnings). Men are making 4% less. In 2021, almost twice as many women than men joined the workforce. The trend continues. Of all the net jobs the economy added in the past year, 3.3 million went to women and 3.1 million went to men. This socio-economic formula is unsustainable. Inflation has eaten away the standard of living by a huge percentage since 1979, but the dry rot is more a character problem than anything else.

Almost half of Christians say the Bible is ambiguous on its teaching on abortion. Why didn't Jesus speak on abortion or homosexuality? Was He pro-LGBT and pro-abortion? The Old Testament law is important to establish a biblical standard of ethics on abortion. But, some use Old Testament law unlawfully. They do not handle the law in the right way. How would we handle the law as Jesus did, or as the Apostles did in Acts 15 and Matthew 15?

Whether the character of the nation, the character of the political candidates, or the character of the political system is the problem (or all three), America is descending into banana-republic type revolution and wrangling. As author/editor of a 1,000-page American history textbook, Kevin Swanson comments. But what about election fraud? Seventy-five percent of Republicans sure thought so after the 2020 elections. Do they have a reason to doubt the integrity of the election? Of course they do. But the question has more to do with "how much fraud," not so much whether there was fraud. America breaks all the commandments. Why not the 9th commandment too? We get to the major concern with President Trump on this segment.

Support for American colleges is imploding among Republican voters especially. National confidence in universities has imploded . . . 57% from 36% in just seven years. Among Republican-leaning Americans, the drop-off was even more severe from 56% to 19%. Could red-state parents be done sending their kids off to blue-state colleges for indoctrination into the wrong worldviews? But what’s plan B for our kids?

All Christians should have their children out of the California public schools by now. But, kudos to the mama bears that are coming out against the state policies. Why is homosexualism and transgenderism the very hill to die on for the left? The modern religion is characterized by autonomy, as expressed in the #1 favorite song chosen in American funerals. Modern man wants to do sexuality, gender, everything . . . “My Way.”

What could possibly save America? Not thinking the socialist schools will do the job. . . . But then again, do we really want to save America? Obviously, only God can save . . . but what means might He choose to bring about the saving a country from the dry rot of humanism? Where might we find the most salt and light these days? Lots of questions surround a World Magazine article on this edition.

Prohibition. Just say no. Me too. The world’s moralistic fads come and go. They are rooted in inconsistencies, hypocrisies, and superficialities. An occasional arrest results in a conviction, but real substantial justice is a far-fetched notion. As far as the world rejects God’s law as the basis for ethics, they surrender themselves to relativism and the moral slippery slope. We compare the worldly notion of “consent” with God’s law here, and we are assured that God doesn’t let anything slip. He will bring every work into judgment.
