"… but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." I Timothy 2:14b—"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."  Genesis 3:1-6

    "and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9b

"If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."  Hebrews 12:7-11

DIALECTICAL PARADIGM

    “The subject which will be of most important politically is mass psychology. Social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that ‘snow is black'. The opinion that ‘snow is black" should be treated as a morbid taste of eccentricity. This science will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated”. Bertrand Russell  The Impact of Science on Society
    “We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood.” Carl Rogers, as quoted in People Shapers, by Vance Packard, Bantam Books, 1977, reprint 1979.

    "The philosopher Hegel said that truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis [right or wrong], but in an emerging synthesis which reconciles the two [circumventing right and wrong through the use of dialogue—uniting upon men's opinions. Unity of mind is accomplished by focusing upon unity of interest]."  Martin Luther King Jr. Strength to Love 
    "Once the earthy family [chastening for doing wrong] is discovered to be the secret of the heavenly family [chastening for doing wrong], the former must itself be destroyed in theory and in practice [dialogue—there is no absolute right or wrong]."  Karl Marx, Thesis on Feuerbach #4.
    "We have to study the conditions which maximize ought-perceptiveness."  "Oughtiness is itself a fact to be perceived."  A. H. Maslow, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature. 
    "I have found whenever I ran across authoritarian students that the best thing for me to do was to break their backs immediately. The correct thing to do with authoritarians is to take them realistically for the bastards they are and then behave toward them as if they were bastards."  Maslow, Maslow on Management
    "Prior to therapy the person is prone to ask himself ‘What would my parents want me to do?’  During the process of therapy the individual comes to ask himself ‘What does it mean to me?’"  Carl R. Rogers, On becoming a person.
    "We recognize the point of view that truth and knowledge are only relative and that there are no hard and fast truths which exist for all time and places."  Benjamin S. Bloom,  Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book I: Cognitive Domain (1956)  Referred to as Bloom’s Taxonomy  p. 32

    "In the eyes of dialectical philosophy, nothing is established for all times, nothing is absolute or sacred."  Karl Marx:  
    "...'good teaching' is the teacher’s ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues."   Benjamin S. Bloom  Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book II: Affective Domain (1964)  p. 54
    "By dialectic, I mean an activity of conscious, struggling to circumvent, the limitations imposed by the formal-logical law of contradiction." Norman A. Brown in Life Against Death, 1959

    "The negative valence of a forbidden object which in itself attracts the child thus usually derives from an induced field of force of an adult. If this field of force loses its psychological existence for the child (e.g., if the adult goes away or loses his authority) the negative valence also disappears." Kurt Lewin; A Dynamic Theory of Personality, 1935

“Change in organization can be derived from the overlapping between play and barrier behavior.  To be governed by two strong goals is equivalent to the existence of two conflicting controlling heads within the organism.  This should lead to a decrease in degree of hierarchical organization.  Also, a certain disorganization should result from the fact that the cognitive-motor system loses to some degree its character of a good medium because of these conflicting heads.  It ceases to be in a state of near equilibrium; the forces under the control of one head have to counteract the forces of the other before they are effective.” (Barker, Dembo, & Lewin, “frustration and regression: an experiment with young children” found in Child Behavior and Development)

Cognitive Dissonance: “The lack of harmony between what one does and what one believes.”  “ The pressure to change either one’s behavior or ones belief.” Introduction to Psychology Ernest R. Hilgard, Richard C. Atkinson

“There is evidence in our data that once a change in behavior has occurred, a change in beliefs is likely to follow.”  Kurt Lewin

“It is usually easier to change individuals formed into a group than to change any one of them separately.”
 

When a child feels free to share his "ought's," both the authority of the parent and the fear of punishment are negated. Thus the patriarchal paradigm is moribund (dead) in the mind of the child―patricide is actualized. The child is "free" to be their own person. Praxis dialectic equals patricide.

“The guilty conscience is formed in childhood by the incorporation of the parents and the wish to be father of oneself.” "We must return to Freud and say that incest guilt created the familial organization."  Norman O. Brown Life Against Death

DEDUCTIVE VS. INDUCTIVE REASONING: 

    Inductive Reasoning: "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." Genesis 3:6 
    "... in an inductive argument, the truth of the premises merely makes it probable that the conclusion is true." Garth Kemerling
    According to inductive reasoning, used on personal and social issues, guilt is the consequence of the child learning to reason deductively.  This prevents the child from identifying with his true nature, his universal (carnal-social) nature. Deductive reasoning must be overcome if he is to be emancipated, if he is to be free to think and live inductively, to be his "true person," if he is to be able to find common ground with the world. This is the key to Globalism, the "New World Order" and "World Peace."

    If we had only known!   When children from a patriarch-structured family participate in an inductive reasoning environment, used to determine morals and ethics, they will always come home with condescension toward their family structure. The process, brought by the child back into the home, will produce added stress in the family, forcing the parents to either "crack down" to restore order or acquiesce to bring "peace" back into the home.  With enough support from a source outside the home (from an inductive reasoning institution or person, i.e. teacher, friend, etc.), along with an internal determination (stubbornness, strong will) by the child "to be their own person", the crisis-creating child will be able to force the parents to look outside the home for assistance.  If they turn any direction except to another deductive reasoning institution for assistance, the patriarchal home will experience dissolution.
    When social engineers talk about your child learning to love others, which on the face of it you would not identify as a problem, they are in reality teaching your child to hate! To hate you! The hate is not directed at you per se, it is directed at the way you think and the way you behave. Nevertheless it is hate!  And it will manifest itself in a most grievous way. Not only will your children behave wickedly, they will behave stubbornly.  While their body may be present before you, their heart is not, and a hollowness now exists―in your heart. "But we had our children's best interest in mind when we sent them there. If we had only known!  If we had only known!"  But we did know! No where in the Word of God does God tell us to experiment with our children (inductive reasoning).  We are to train them up, in a deductively, didactically, patriarchal home!
    Any intervention between the parent-child hierarchy by the community weakens if not destroys the parent-child patriarchal structure of the home. There can be no parent-child-community partnership if the parents are to develop in the mind of the children a patriarchal paradigm. "We must use social-environmental forces to change the parent’s behavior towards their children." Theodor Adorno, The Authoritarian Personality  Bloom used the Marxist Adorno's Weltanschauung (paradigm) to build his Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Marxists books used since the 50's to train teachers both in public and private schools of education.

THE LAW

 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.  Matthew 5:17

 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:31

 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.  Romans 6:15

 What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: Romans 7:7

 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Romans 7:12

 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Romans 7:14

 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: Psalms 19:7

 For this: Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Romans 13:9

 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24

"For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." Acts 20: 27-29

         The True Church                       The Apostate Church 

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
