Noah's Flood Was Not World Wide

We are in Bristol, Tennessee this week, and while I was pondering what to present for this evening, and considering the circumstances which made our travel necessary in the first place, I could think of nothing more appropriate than a critical review of Bertrand Comparet's sermon, Noah's Flood Was Not World Wide .

Before preparing for this presentation, it had probably been at least 22 years since I read this sermon. When I did, I was quite disappointed in many ways which shall become evident as I proceed. While we love Bertrand Comparet, and while he was certainly a notable pioneer trailblazing our path to Christian Identity truth, he nevertheless maintained some critical errors, and they are evident in the conflicts which we shall find here in his own words. So I pray that a critique of this sermon also illustrates the need that we continually examine ourselves, because when something is true, it should be able to withstand all challenges.

As nearly all of our copies of Bertrand Comparet's sermons, this one was taken from Jeanne Snyder's transcriptions which were published under the title Your Heritage, and digitized and prepared for electronic publication by Clifton Emahiser, who had also added some of his own notes. Here in this particular sermon Clifton added only one brief note, which I will insert at the appropriate point. Of course, since this is a critical review, I will also add much of my own commentary.

Christogenea Website Images

William Finck

We have recently had several inquiries from readers who could not see the images on our website. Perhaps two months ago, endeavoring to increase the speed of our website, we switched to a newer image format for many of our images. That alone improved page load speed by nearly 2 seconds which is a lot in the world of the internet.

Decreasing the amount of time it takes our pages to load, we also hope to rank higher in search results, as well as lessen our total bandwidth usage, an excess of which may increase our hosting costs.

The new image format is really already a couple of years old, and is called WebP. These images have a .webp file extension. They are usually at least half the size of equivalent .jpg and .png images.

But because the format was developed by Google, Apple was reluctant to support it. Now they have relented, and Apple has stated that it will support WebP images beginning with Safari version 14.0, which is just starting to become available. Firefox, Chrome, Brave and Opera already support the new format.

Hurricane Sally: No Podcasts This Weekend, September 18th and 19th, 2020

William Finck

 

While we suffered no damage from the recent Hurricane Sally, heavy flooding on the rivers here in Bay County, Florida has forced us to move everything that will move, and to leave home for awhile for fear of being stranded and probably also suffering the loss of our vehicle.

The initial projection was that the water level would rise 8 feet above what is seen in the photo here. That has now been revised down to 5 feet. With the anticipated runoff from heavy rains to the north the rivers are expected to remain flooded for a week. 

Needless to say, this did not leave me with any time to prepare a podcast, so we are taking the weekend off. Yahweh God be willing, I hope to be back to work next week.      

I will be on the Christogenea Voice Chat for awhile this evening, from around 8:00 PM Eastern time.

On the Wisdom of Solomon, Part 10: Who are the World?

On the Wisdom of Solomon, Part 10: Who are the World?

Initially I wanted to mock pop culture and pondered the title We are the World for this presentation, but sadly there are always questions and contentions, even among various assortments of Identity Christians, over the scope and comprehension of that simple two-letter word, we. Another popular product of our corrupted modern culture had more recently mused about “Forever trusting who we are and nothing else matters”. To me those words may almost ring true, if we properly interpret that same word, we, but his error is made evident a few lines later where he sang “Life is ours, we live it our way”, and believing that opens a door to a multitude of sins. While James Hetfield may have been singing about his own intimate relationship, the words have constantly been echoed through the minds of a generation of Western and marginally Christian youth, and people come to believe what they often repeat to themselves. But as Paul of Tarsus had written in chapter 6 of his first epistle to the Corinthians, “19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” Paul’s words there are true, whether or not we are cognizant of how they are true. Man has no control over his own destiny, and it is hubris to think otherwise. Therefore man must seek to please the God who does control his destiny, and live His way. That is certainly one of the significant underlying messages in the Wisdom of Solomon.

In our last presentation in this commentary on Wisdom, we had left off in Wisdom chapter 5 where Solomon had departed from his descriptions of the plight of the ungodly. They were portrayed as being compelled to acknowledge their ungodliness and to regret the way in which they had lived their earthly lives, eternally suffering the inevitable consequences of their actions. Then once again Solomon turned to describing the destiny of the righteous, whom he said shall realize the promise of a glorious kingdom. That must be the same kingdom which was later announced in the Gospel of Christ and which Christians are instructed to anticipate and prepare themselves by His apostles.

The Wrong Stuff, Inside Edition, with Dasho

The Wrong Stuff, Inside Edition

At Christogenea, we have always denigrated the Alt-Right and its leaders and for various legitimate reasons. We have spoken about Mike Enoch and other Alt-Right figures in the past, such as Andrew Anglin and the character known as Weev. But except for Mike Delaney’s long-ago and former friendship with Anglin, we never had an insider’s perspective on any of these individuals. But now we have Dasho, who has recently come to Christian Identity, and perhaps he can introduce himself by explaining his transition. Dasho is a former member at the forum of The Right Stuff, and a former moderator of the break-away Forum called The Purity Spiral, who was an Alt-Right insider for several years. We first met him when he joined the Christogenea forum several months ago. Perhaps this is timely, as Mike Enoch once again aspires to be an Alt-Right leader, having announced just weeks ago the formation of his own political party, calling it the National Justice Party, of which he is now chairman.

All of the sound clips used for this presentation, as well as many of the full-length sources, are found on the page for Mike Enoch at the Christogenea Media Sharing website.
