Leaders of a perverse Christian cult, the Exclusive Brethren, have met with Prime Minister John Howard for reasons only known to both parties but we can deduce from available evidence that this cult, known for attempting to influence family court judges, breaking up families and launching smear campaigns against politicians who do not meet with their approval – the homosexual leader of the Greens, Bob Brown, for example – also has a strong presence in Howard’s seat of Bennelong!
Who, me?
Unsubstantiated claims refer to cult members as those responsible for tampering with Labor candidate, Maxine McKew’s car earlier this year – a tactic obviously designed to intimidate and cause psychological distress. A tactic also typical of the modus operandi of this dangerous and socially regressive cult!
It may serve to illustrate the perversity of this fanatic cult by referring to Christian doctrine and the example set by the Christian saviour, Jesus Christ – who was clearly an INCLUSIVE, Universalist, reformer.
A fundamental pillar of Christian doctrine is the Redemption of the world accomplished by the Christian saviour laying down his life for the salvation of ALL; the text verifies Christ's universal self-sacrifice, 1 John 2 –2:
“… we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
Jesus, faced with EXCLUSIVITY in the form of the overt racism of Judaism and the erroneous notion of a partial or particular God, EMBRACED EVERYONE, Jew, gentile, the marginalised and outcast; he also commissioned his disciples to go the four corners of the world and spread his INCLUSIVIST message of UNIVERSAL LOVE to everyone, without exception! Examples in the text refer to the (socially reviled) Samaritan woman who said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
But perhaps Jesus’ boldest demonstration of his opposition to exclusivism was his clear and undisguised breaking with the tradition of the bloodline of Abraham, Matthew 12:46-50:
“..While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. ..”
The above declaration by Jesus clearly breaks with the fanatic exclusivist, (bloodline) racism of Judaism. The Christian saviour was NOT EXCLUSIVIST or partial; in fact, any philosophy student would tell you that infinity cannot be partial or particular, it is by nature TOTAL or all encompassing [However, we do not expect any cultist or fundamentalist to possess the intelligence required to understand basic philosophical concepts or logic.]
All cults run foul of the law sooner or later and we can be sure this cult is no exception. Led at one time by a whiskey-swilling drunk, who encouraged others to participate in his addiction – it is only a matter of time before the cult makes the front pages. But of supreme interest to secular Australia, this cult has found a close friend in the Prime Minister, John Howard! Furthermore, pretender to the throne, Treasurer Peter Costello, defended his leader’s association with this dangerous and perverse religious cult – perhaps the Treasurer would be happier as a cult apologist rather than a gutless pretender to the throne?
The sordid character of John Howard is widely known, he would not hesitate to befriend the devil or sell his soul for political advantage – one million innocent dead civilians is proof enough of Howard’s ‘spiritual’ credentials.
“You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16)
Peace.
