Christ-unlikeness: a Remonstrant’s Rumination
21 January 2023
The Powers of Darkness Cannot and Will Not Prevail against the Lord Jesus Christ, Lord of All
- The Lord Jesus Christ has defeated the powers of evil and darkness already.
- Evil shall not win.
- The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanses from every and all sin, for those believing in him.
- Jesus Christ is King, and has all power and authority in heaven and on earth.
- I rebuke all the powers of darkness, evil humans, and evil spirits who have arrayed themselves against me, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and command you to depart from my presence immediately, and go wheresoever the Lord Jesus Christ sends you.
- No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgement, shall be condemned.
- All the emissaries of the Evil One, human and non-human, individually and collectively, from whatsoever agency or society, I command you to depart from my presence now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- All workers of iniquity without exception shall be condemned to the lake of fire.
- All forms of witchcraft and sorcery are an abomination to Yahweh God.
- The Lord Jesus Christ has defeated evil decisively through his death, burial, and resurrection approximately two thousand years ago, and he shall return to fully reclaim the world as his kingdom.
- All evil shall be everlastingly expunged from the new heavens, new earth, and new Jerusalem, the everlasting kingdom of God the Father and his only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sin-levelling, Abuse, Abusers, and Romans 3.23: a Remonstrant’s Repudiation of ‘Christianised’ Stupidity
J. D. Gallé | Tuesday, 3 January 2023
Self-professed Christian counsellors who, whether in theory or practice, engage in sin-levelling, that is, the deceptive art of treating all manner of sins and sinners as more or less equal in nature, are neither wise nor fit to counsel. Human lives are placed in peril with the gross mishandling and misapplication of scripture by ill-qualified, albeit degreed and (possibly) well-intentioned, ‘professionals’.
Persons who are properly identified as abusers are exceptionally hardened and evil sinners with exceptionally corrupted minds, who engage in exceptionally evil deception and evil deeds. The character of the abuser is nearer to that of the Evil One than the generality of lost humankind.
In Romans 3.23, Paul the apostle testifies to the reality of universal Jewish and Gentile sinfulness and failure to honour God. Negatively, if one were to follow Paul’s line of thought from chapters one to three in his epistle to the Romans, it should be evident that the apostle is not arguing that all persons who have sinned are equal in terms of the magnitude of their guilt before God, or that all persons are equally morally depraved or equally hardened in their hearts. Such ideas are foreign to the context. Romans 3.23 should not be employed as a proof text, therefore, in service of the view that all sinners are essentially equal in terms of their badness or corruptness.
Scripture neither permits nor demands of us that we divest ourselves of (un)common sense. In summary, of the concept of sin-levelling we may swiftly and unashamedly say no to ‘Christianised’ stupidity.

Addendum (4 Jan. 2023). I make no personal claim of having either discovered the concept of ‘sin-levelling’ or coining the term. If anyone is aware of, or able to pinpoint via an accurate citation, the origin of the aforementioned expression, please apprise the readers (and me) in the comment section of this article (below).
That said, it is likely that my awareness of the term first arose from the A Cry for Justice blog some years ago. See the link to the following web page:

Matthew 16.23–27: a Remonstrant’s Rendering
v. 23 And he, having turned, said unto Peter, ‘You must be getting behind me, Adversary! You are being a cause of stumbling for me! Because you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of human beings.’v. 24 At that time Jesus said unto his students, ‘If anyone is desiring to come behind me, he mustcompletely disregard himselfand lift up his crossand be following me.
v. 25 ‘For whosoever may be desiring to preserve his life shall completely destroy it, but whosoever may completely destroy his life because of me shall discover it.v. 26 ‘For what shall a person be benefited if he may have acquired the whole world but may have suffered loss of his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?v. 27 ‘For the Son of Man is on the point of arriving in the splendour of his Father with his angels, and at that time he shall give back to each in accordance with his practice.’

2 Peter 3.9: a Remonstrant’s Rendering
The Lord is not being unpunctual regarding the promise [of his coming], as some regard unpunctuality, but is being forbearing towards you, not desiring for any to be destroyed, but for everyone to advance to a change in their way of thinking.
