John 3:16 and the Feminization of the Church! – Part #9
“Don’t Worry, we are Enlightened!” – They Don’t Mean Us Any Harm!
By Richard Allen – August 10, 2026
If ever there were ever a ‘sign foretelling the end of Western Christendom’ – it’s the overrun borders of Ceuta, Spain. The old adage – ‘Fool Me Once’ should apply here, but it’s too sad to mention. Spain has been through this same debacle in the past, and “Forgot.” In 711 AD, crossing over the same route – Muslim Invaders ‘invaded, overwhelmed and conquered Christian Spain.’ It took the Spanish and other Europeans eight centuries to drive them out – losing immeasurable ‘blood and treasure’ to secure their freedom. So, the question has to be asked: ‘How did the modern Spaniards forget the cost of ‘allowing themselves to be overrun by barbarian hoards?’ The two reasons I will provide are both an outcome of the ‘Feminization in the West.’ First, the insanity of the Enlightenment, boasting about ‘science and learning’ made ‘man the measure of all things.’ In some ways, the Enlightenment was a ‘secular’ response to the Gospel Message delivered by the “Prince of Peace,” Jesus. With the Advent of the ‘Church Age’ – the Gospel showed men a new way of living: Loving, Sacrificing and showing Mercy to others. This changed the Pagan World. Prior to Jesus, the world was a violent place of cruelty, greed and war.
The Christian Era changed culture for the better, finally bringing in a degree of ‘tolerance and understanding.’ In fact, it was the Church which spawned the Age of Reason and Learning. We’ve learned since the dawn of ‘The Enlightenment’ that ‘man’s science and learning’ will never bring in a ‘Utopia of peace and tolerance.’ Our modern age has been a time of ‘great learning and technological advancement.’ Still, ‘man’s underlying fallen nature’ and with it – our ‘barbaric behavior – has been on ‘full display’ through multiple world wars, forced starvation, man-made pandemics and repeated ‘genocide.’ We can make ‘intercontinental weapons’ that can destroy millions at the touch of a button. Now we don’t need to ‘wrestle in the mud’ to dehumanize and brutally kill our neighbor. And it’s the ‘Elite Learned Intelligentsia’ which has been at the center of the worst killing. Certainly, ‘Religious Wars’ and ‘Tribal Hatred’ have contributed, but the brutality doesn’t compare with ‘precision killing’ that ‘Enlightened men and women’ of today can visit on their fellow man!
Since the Enlightenment, the Church in the West has been reduced to a ‘toothless’ version of its former self. This version clearly took its lead from a ‘skewed version of Christ,’ but was also heavily influenced by the philosophical thoughts of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx and other ‘Elite-Post-Christian-Intellectuals.’ Second, I do believe, the more pernicious influences came from the ‘John 3:16 twisting of the Gospel,’ into a ‘kinder and gentler god.’ The Holy and Righteous God of the Bible – the one who “rules all nations with a rod of iron” (Revelation 12:5) – was rejected in favor for the ‘effeminate-Love-God’ of the Post Enlightenment Church. The irony is, in the previous era, the ‘Holy Roman Church’ of the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ wasn’t afraid to use ‘earthly weapons of warfare’ to defend against the Church’s enemies with force! Often maligned as the sad byproduct of the union of ‘Church and State,’ the ‘Crusades’ were NOT an offensive war, trying to push the poor ‘Islamic Invaders of the 10th and 11th Centuries out of their own lands.
History shows that the ‘Crusades’ were completely a ‘Defensive War,’ with European Kings trying to liberate lands in the ‘Middle East’ that were once Christian. While not perfect, the Christian governments sought to have people live in relative peace with each other. We live with a modern-day rewriting of history, one in which Islam, the supposed ‘Religion of Peace,’ coexisted with Christians and Jews peacefully, just trying to be good neighbors. Nothing could be further from the truth. From the first ‘offensive’ war Islam waged against the Church until today – Islam killed, raped, impaled, bludgeoned and forced mass conversion on everyone in proximity to their strongholds. Never, and I mean NEVER, has Islam advanced by peaceful means of ‘persuading men with their message.’ Most of us are completely ignorant of the fact that virtually all of the Mideast and Northern Africa had been the ‘Center of Christendom’ for at least 500 years before being forcefully driven out by the ‘Religion of Peace.’ The Byzantine Eastern Orthodox Church of Rome (for that’s what it was), dominated the whole region which is now Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor (Turkey), Lebanon, Morocco and the Holy Land. One by one, these governments were toppled by Islamic armies as thousands of Christian men, women and children were sold into the ‘Muslim Slave Trade.’
I mention all this to help explain the ‘Pre-Enlightenment’ mindset of Western Christians as they ‘struggled to remain free,’ fighting a defensive war to protect their homes and families from enslavement by the Islamic Caliphate. This modern idea – promoted by Marxist-Elite-Intellectuals – that the Church waged an ongoing conquest against all other cultures and peoples, forcing them to convert, is not accurate. The Church – since the conversion of the Emperor Constantine – made many of mistakes, but it was never as bad – not even close – to the barbarism practiced by the ‘Religion of Peace.’ Post Reformation anger and hatred toward the old ‘Holy Roman Catholic Empire’ encouraged Protestants to denounce the Crusades, and help rewrite a ‘sanitized’ version of Islam’s toppling of the Church in the Middle East and Africa. Not content with the Holy Land and controlling half of the countries on the Mediterranean, Islam pushed into Eastern Byzantine lands and conquered all of them. Islamic Caliphates conquered Spain, and tried to push into France – only to be repelled by Frankish leader Charles “the hammer” Martel at the Battle of Tours in 732. He defeated the Umayyad Caliphate army led by Abdul Rahman al-Ghafiqi, keeping France and the rest of Europe from being swallowed up by Islamic bondage. Western leaders like Martel understood something that our modern ‘Intellectual-Elites’ have never grasped: Islam does not mean Peace – even though it’s a perversion of the Hebrew ‘Shalom,’ which means Peace. Islam means ‘Subjugation,’ the final state of resignation that Islam’s defeated foes experienced. After being conquered, foes were resigned to accept their being totally defeated and dominated.
Our present day ‘Elite-Intellectuals’ – all schooled in the five main branches of current Western thought: 1) Marxism, 2) Feminism, 3) Environmentalism, 4) Scientific Atheism and 5) Global Finance – have no ‘mental framework’ to understand a ‘Totalitarian Ideology’ like 7th Century Radical Islam. It might surprise you, but all five main branches of current Western thought are themselves ‘pseudo-gospel’ truths, falsehoods
masquerading as the ‘good news.’ Islam itself is ‘another gospel’ that has fought hard to ‘replace’ Christian beliefs in the West! So, in the next few Blogs we’ll explore the roots of the collective ‘Suicidal Empathy’ – being practiced by Western cultures regarding both Islam and Communism. Both of these ‘globalist ideologies’ are threatening to topple Western Societies and bring in ‘The New World Order.’ In fact, both Islam and Communism have joined forces to supplant the ‘Christian Order’ in the West. I’d like to explore how each of these five pillars of Western thought mimic ‘pseudo-Christian-values’ – offering freedom, compassion and a better world – but in actuality, bringing mankind into ‘bondage to the beast.’
So how did the misreading of this wonderful verse – from the lips of our Savior Jesus – John 3:16 – facilitate the Church’s capitulation to both Islam and Communism? Initially let me state that ‘the way fallen men understand John 3:16 has cheapened God’s grace, making it not much more than God’s benevolence toward all He has made.’ If God is not also Holy, Just and Pure, then the ‘Imbalanced-Love-God-Gospel’ doesn’t command any respect. From the perspective of history and conquest – Christendom in the West always struggles with ‘turning the other cheek’ and ‘standing up to defend the weak and powerless.’ This struggle can be clearly seen in America’s own Civil War. The Church led the way to end slavery through the ‘Abolitionist Movement.’ But in the end, it wasn’t just enough to eradicate Slavery as an Institution, it was also necessary to defeat and ‘stop’ the evil men and institutions who continued the practice. As believers, we should all understand the difference between our own ‘individual willingness to suffer and sacrifice for truth and justice’ – even if that means personally submitting to injustice. But in ‘fallen societies’ where reprobate men only understand Law, Punishment and Brute Force – evil needs to be resisted. Church Father Augustine, the Bishop of Hippo, clearly understood the rationale to ‘fight a just war’ – resisting Islam and Communism being the responsibility of the secular governments where we live. Martin Luther – initially very critical of the ‘Holy Roman Church’ waging a defensive war during the Crusades (while trying to protect millions of Christian men, women and children) – changed his mind once the Ottoman Empire threatened to attack Christian lands in Vienna.
As Christians, John 3:16 is NOT the rallying cry in which Christendom can operate alone. We need to stand for justice and protection of the defenseless. God’s Love for all men – regardless of Race, Creed, Gender or Status – was the impetus behind “God so loving, that He gave” (John 3:16). It’s not the rationale for national policy or even criminal justice. When we arrest, prosecute and administer justice to those who commit evil against their fellow man, we don’t cite John 3:16 at sentencing. These men and women ‘can be saved’ IF they repent and believe. Just look at the ‘Pseudo-Christian’ verbiage of ‘bleeding-heart-liberal’ judges who show ‘they don’t so love the victims of evil acts – who are asking the courts for justice!’ Like the current Spanish government – which believes that these immigrants are harmless and just want a better life – resulted in hordes of evil barbarians taking full advantage of their weakness. In the end, it’s the helpless and weak Spaniards for whom their government has no compassion.
Soli Deo Gloria!
