Scripture That Warns Against Falling
Before Dialectical Praxis:
“There shall
never be to you other gods before my face.”
Exodus 20:3.
(Hebrew Literal
Translation.) [This includes the worship of group
acceptance].
“If any man
worship the beast and his image, and receive his
mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God.” Revelation 14:9,10.
Today, every minute of
every day, we must maintain the stance of faith-a
faith that separates us from the world and keeps
us on our heavenward course.
No One Can
Participate in Dialectical Praxis and Keep Their
Faith in God
“When praxis became
a part of the intellectuals’ dialectic toy,
major social changes began to appear in our
nation…No one can participate in
diaprax and keep their faith in God.”
–Dr. Dean Gotcher, The Dialectic and Praxis
and the End of the Ages, p. 5.
The Apostle Paul
warns Timothy About the Antithesis of What is
Falsely Named Knowledge
“O Timothy,
the trust (the trust or deposit entrusted to you)
guard, turning away from-going out of the way
from-profane empty talking and antithesis of
falsely named knowledge (in other words,
knowledge which is not knowledge), which some
offering (professing, laying claim to, making
themselves out as experts in), concerning the
faith have departed from (missed the mark,
deviated, failed). Grace be with you, Amen.”
1 Timothy 6:20,21. (Greek, the actual Greek word
“antithesis” is used here in these
verses.)
Two generations
have now been raised in dialectical praxis.
Attack on the
Call of Christ, and the Breach With the World
Social-psychologists, who
have defined the intellectual world of reality in
all spheres of education for a century, refuse to
recognize man’s alienation from God, and
seek to remove alienation between man and man by
means of diaprax, thus attacking the fundamental
elements of the call of Christ to discipleship
and the breach with the world and the breach with
all immediate interpersonal relationships which
is the instant result of obedience to
Christ’s call to forsake all and everything
for Christ. Thus, the mediatorial work of Christ
between man and God, and man and man is utterly
extinguished.
The Application
of Pantheistic Noogenesis
Diaprax is the
application of Teilhard de Chardin’s
pantheistic concept of noogenesis, the bringing
together of all human minds in pantheistic
oneness.
The Internal
Reference Points of Faith
“The Kingdom
of Heaven is Within You” Luke 17:21
The kingdom of heaven has
internal reference points dictated by the
presence of Christ, union with Christ, the
mediation of Christ, and the character built in
submission to Christ and His Word. Diaprax
calls these internal reference points,
“pre-set ideas” which cause the person
to be “unloving” and
“maladjusted.” It is the first work of
dialectical praxis, or diaprax, to
“unfreeze” the person from these
“pre-set ideas” which are the result of
the righteousness of Christ in the life coming
from righteousness by faith. Diaprax hates the
every evidence of the fear of God and the
righteousness of Christ, and self-surrender to
Christ in the soul.
Diabolical
“Conflict Resolution” Works on the
Principle of Diminishing Conviction
Diaprax is used over the
entire spectrum of human life, for its specific
application is for the purpose of extinguishing
conviction, extinguishing the internal reference
points of faith in the soul of the dissenter from
satanic power. Its application may be broadly or
narrowly focused, and used in an almost infinite
variety of situations. One example of a very
large use of diaprax is in “Conflict
Resolution.” In Conflict Resolution,
psychology is used to blunt conviction, diminish
conviction, and bring parties together in
consensus in the gray zone. If an unscrupulous
diabolical pastor can through “conflict
resolution counseling” start couples down
the road of eliminating conviction in order to
resolve conflict, he has them in the palm of his
hand when the next crisis comes in a board
meeting and he seeks to blunt the conviction of
those opposing his authoritarian control of the
church. The couple receiving the counseling may
think that things have been resolved in their
marriage, but in the hour of test, the weakened
conviction and will, caused by dialectical
counseling may will cause one or the other, or
both of the parties to collapse under test and
trail.
God’s Way is
to Heighten Conviction
God’s way, however,
is the opposite: The Holy Spirit heightens
conviction (John 16:8, 9), and brings each party
to full surrender to Christ. Just in proportion
to the closeness of the soul to Christ, is the
closeness that we come to other people. If a
party refuses to surrender to Christ, then there
is variance in the relationship, as the soul that
does surrender to Christ, values Christ and His
convictions above earthly relationship.
The Variance of
the Gospel
“Think not that I am
come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man
at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law. And a man’s foes
shall be they of his own household. He that
loveth father or mother more than Me is not
worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he that
taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is
not worthy of Me.” Matthew 10: 32-38.
Individual
Absolute Self-surrender
God’s way is to
bring each party individually to absolute
self-surrender to Christ. Then that person has
access by faith to the infinite love of Christ,
and he will love his spouse with the eternal,
unchanging, stable, and marvelous
self-sacrificing, self-renouncing love of Christ,
direct from the cross of Calvary. Christ in the
husband relates to Christ in the wife.
“Christ abiding in the heart of the wife
will be at agreement with Christ abiding in the
heart of the husband.” AH 120. Christ is the
Mediator of all human relationships.
Putty in the
Hands of Satanic Power
However, when satanic
“conflict resolution” is used by a
pastor in counseling to get the parties to
abandon their convictions, those souls have
broken faith with Christ, they are now vulnerable
in the pastor’s, or any one else’s
hands, for they are no longer the fortress of
Christ in a revolted world, they are no longer
disciples of Christ, Jesus said, and they have
lost their salvation, their justification in
Christ by virtue of having abandoned absolute
self-surrender. They are now putty in the hands
of satanic power.
The Process of
Removing the Soul from the Orientation of the
Internal Conviction of Faith to the External
Acceptance by a Social Group
Diaprax is used to
liquidate opposition to the onward march of the
subjection of the soul to man, to earthly powers,
rather than God. Diaprax is a process designed to
remove a person from orientation to his internal,
spiritual, moral structure of the kingdom and
presence of Christ, based on conviction
with the reference points of discipleship, the
Word, the Law of God, and shift the conscience
from the internal reference point of
submission to the union with the mystical,
unseen, Christ, to the external reference
points of the group,” the visible
“church,” the church hierarchy.
From the
Individuality of Discipleship to Socialism
Dialectical praxis, on
the broad front, ideologically, the move from
individuality based on discipleship, with an
internal spiritual/moral/psychological frame of
reference to socialism with the primacy reference
point being other people-the church board, the
members, the pastor, the commune, society. It is
the subjection, however subtle, of the soul to
the authority of the “group” or man,
earthly powers, rather than the internal
submission of the soul to Christ apart from
reference to other people.
Assault on the
Soul: “Unfreezing”
When you come under
assault from satanic diaprax, and are accused of
being “unloving” or maladjusted”
because of your “preset ideas,” you
must immediately realize what is happening. Satan
is using an assault against your convictions or
judgment in the Lord, and trying to jar you
loose, to “unfreeze” you from your
convictions and the realm of faith. That is
precisely the time to use your spiritual
weaponry. Raise your shield of faith to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Remain on the
Terrain of the Kingdom, Use Your Shield of Faith
The issue is not whether
or not you are ‘unloving” or
“maladjusted” because of your
“preset” convictions, no the real issue
is the issue of faith—whether you will hold
to your faith and use the shield of faith to
protect your soul, your convictions, or whether
under the assault of the charge of being
“unloving” you will abandon your shield
of faith in order to abandon your convictions in
order to make peace with the enemy on his
terms and accommodate the enemy’s assessment
of you. Use that shield and buckler of
faith in God [do not forget the great Object of
your faith which is God Himself], flashing that
shield all around to absorb all those fiery
darts, and you will come forth the stronger,
perfectly protected from Satan’s assault, if
you meet that assault with faith-the faith of
Jesus-a faith that does not wilt under assault
but is supremely competent to withstand the
fiercest salvos.
Full Protection
The shield at times in
ancient history often was large enough to cover
the entire body. One time Alexander the
Great’s army was assaulting a mountain upon
which the enemy had a redoubt with many large
battlewagons. When Alexander gave the order to
charge and take the mountain, the soldiers asked,
what do we do when the enemy unleashes the
battlewagons? They will wipe us out as they come
careening down the mountain. Alexander responded;
when the enemy battlewagons come crashing down
toward you, simply lie down perpendicular to
their track with your shield over your body. The
wagons will roll over your shields and you will
be safe. That is exactly what the Greek soldiers
did. After the wagons rolled over them, they rose
up and took the mountain.
Smaller shields and
bucklers were moved quickly about to absorb the
enemy darts, arrows and bolts. Many times, they
had a hard, sturdy boss in the center of the
shield, which served as a weapon in itself to
push the enemy. Use that shield to push back the
enemy as well as absorb his darts.
Do Not Break Rank
With the divine Shield Wall
At the battle of Hastings
in 1066, William the Conqueror of Normandy
repeatedly assaulted the English House Earls and
their shield wall that protected Harold, the
English king. William was completely stymied,
because that English shield was impenetrable,
impervious to his cavalry assaults. But then he
noticed that after a number of assaults, when his
cavalry retreated and were hurled back, the
English were so eager to attack that they broke
rank and chased, and the Norman cavalry, led by
William was able to destroy those who had
abandoned the shield wall. This then, became his
strategy-to draw the English from maintaining
their shield wall. This strategy worked, with the
shield wall broken, William conquered the field,
and the course of English history was radically
changed as the Normans seized control of their
nation.
Satan’s
strategy against our souls is no different. He
seeks to entice us to abandon our shield wall to
fight on his terrain of pantheistic spiritualism
as whether we are meeting his
spiritualistic standard of the
pantheistic/spiritualistic “love
gospel.” We must know the
terrain, and fight on the high ground of Word of
the Lord in faith, defending conviction and the
parameters of the kingdom of God in our soul by
maintaining our shield wall of faith.
