Greetings from Middle Tennessee!
I'm not sure if my earlier post is still awaiting vetting and approval or not (I just signed up a couple of days ago), so I apologize if some of this might be redundant. I just want to be sure to share some thoughts with this group, beginning with a post that I made at my relatively new BabylonBibi X account a few days ago when the President made his pathetic attempt at a lynching of Candace. Here's the body of that post:
"I’d like to take a moment to share some reasons why I believe Candace Owens is uniquely threatening to the systems temporarily ruling over us because it’s easy to have Big Things get lost in the fog of war, especially with next level lynching attempts being made by none other than the President of the United States.
If you’re anything like me, having someone kick off with a qualifier can be more than a little tiresome and annoying, in large part because qualifiers are often used in cowardly ways. That said, I trust that some clarification will be helpful out of the gate here, not because I aim to water anything down, but because I believe that for those readers willing to assess things honestly and maybe even take the time to think about what’s being said, certain up-front details make later points more clear and more dangerous to those on the other side of the Judeo-vs-Christian war. That’s the idea, anyway. (Yes, I just put a qualifier on my qualifier...thank you for enduring.)
I'm not a “Candace worshipper” or cultist. I just happen to think she’s right on target on pretty much every major issue of the day, including the biggest issues and most threatening positions to the Epstein Class at the top all the way down to the MAGA drones still spellbound and hanging on for dear life at the bottom.
Obviously, like all of us, Candace is flawed, has screwed up, will screw up again, and is, at best, a work in progress, but I have to say up front that I never would have expected to see someone like her emerge from such a collection of cesspools as The Daily Wire, Prager U, and the GOP establishment in general.
Oh me of little faith.
I followed Candace with mostly passive interest for years, but my ears perked up when the whole “Christ is King” crisis hit Midget Jockey Kingdom. Even then, I didn’t become a regular follower of Candace’s stuff, but I was paying more attention. Without diving into great detail on this point, let’s just say that somewhere between finding out that Deadpool is real and the French First Lady is a dude, I became a regular.
I thought I had topped out as a legit Candace fan and appreciated not only the excellent work that she and her small team was doing, but also from witnessing her growth, particularly as a Christian. Her warnings against public schools and the #MeToo movement had always been more than a little inspiring to me, and her willingness to dive into history, psychology, and occult influences from a growing Christian perspective was great to see expressed so honestly and so articulately from a platform that God was clearly blessing in ways that would have seemed impossible just a few years back.
It was very cool and very encouraging to see Him use this woman, flaws and all, in such a powerful way, and I was happy to be watching and benefitting from afar.
Then Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
I won’t rehash what readers no doubt already know about Candace’s unique relationship and equally unique horror at his murder, other than to note that after the initial shock passed and she began an ongoing mission for justice that continues to this day, I have become convinced that King Jesus is doing something special here. Actions that some intended for great evil are being used by God for even greater good – see: Genesis 50:20. (On that point we need to pause and be perfectly clear: Any good being done through Candace, her family, her team, or anyone else is all by the grace of God working through His obedient people.)
Just when I thought I had capped out as a Candace fan, things went to another level as I watched her take slings and arrows while pursuing an archaic practice known in past generations as “an investigation”. And every time I thought she'd hit the top level of holy controversy, things seemed to ratchet up to a previously unimaginable height.
Which leads us to the most recent wave of unhinged pushback from the forces of darkness/dark comedy, when the thoroughly disgraced and shameless pawn of Israel, Donald Trump, publicly posted one of the most vile, pathetic attacks imaginable against a Christian American woman by sharing a mock Time magazine cover, the contents of which are too pathetic for me to bother with here. (Thank you to @CarriePrejean1 for responding with a proper Time rendition, which I have included in the graphic atop this article.)
Now let’s get into a few reasons why I believe that Candace lives up to the title of this post.
-
She understands that Christ truly is King and will not shut up about it. More specifically, Candace understands that Christ is not just King of church buildings or prayer time, but King over everything and everyone in His creation, whether they realize it or not, whether they believe it or not, or whether they like it or not.
-
She understands that education – the pursuit of knowledge – is fundamentally perverted when the Lordship of Christ is dismissed, and that when we decide to set aside Jesus in pursuit of knowledge in any area of life, we are quite literally modeling the serpent’s suggested approach to the pursuit of knowledge as described in Genesis 3:1-6. Again, to be a bit more specific, this means that if and when we choose to pursue a Christ-dismissing approach to politics, science, art, or anything else, we are literally embracing a satanic approach to those areas of life and culture. (People flip out over words like “satanic” and “sin” because they’ve been drenched in secular worldviews, but the terms are vital to understand and apply if we are to have any hope of winning.)
-
She therefore understands the necessity of explicitly Christ-centered children’s education and politely but clearly warns Christians (and everyone else) to get their children out of public schools. This makes her hated by many since we have been conditioned from birth to treat the state-run children’s indoctrination system as a golden calf.
I could go on, but that should be enough for now.
Candace is hated because, flawed and messy though she may be, she takes seriously the centrality of Christ.
She. Will. Not. Shut. Up. About. It.
Make no mistake: That is the Tip Top reason they hate her, just as they hated Him before her.
That is why they mock and attack and would like to see her destroyed.
Before I close out, I feel compelled to mention one of the other Most Hated Christians in the World (and likely to soon get his own Trump Time cover), Tucker Carlson.
Like Candace, I’ve been encouraged and convicted by the way Tucker seems to be seriously wrestling with what Christ as King actually means in practice.
On that point, I want to focus not on what Candace or Tucker or I may believe in detail on any particular subject as we all wrestle with that most important question.
The Big Point at the foundation of it all is that we must start with King Jesus as the literal personification of all truth – as the One by whom, through whom, and for whom all material and immaterial things were made (see: Colossians 1:15-20).
We can and will disagree as we try to figure out the details, but where we can’t budge is on the essential nature of Christ at the center of everything. Not as a passive figure, but as the literal Author, Definer, and Sustainer of all reality.
That’s what “they” hate.
That’s what “they” can’t tolerate.
That’s what “they” must destroy.
And that’s why Donald Trump is going down swinging at Candace this way.
They are losing and they know it.
Because Christ is King."
That's the post from earlier.
I am convinced that great things are happening and a great awakening is underway. For whatever providential reason, a whole lot of it seems to be centering right here in Tennessee.
I would love more than anything to help with your mission in any way possible.
Thank you, Candace, for being such an inspiration!
In His grip,
Scott
