26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Fail. This passage has never been taken to mean that men and women don't actually exist any more than nations. Do try to remember that the vast majority of Christians do not subscribe to the defined and condemned heresy of Sola Scriptura.
You sure you wanna play that game?

1935 The equality of men rests essentially on their dignity as persons and the rights that flow from it:
Every form of social or cultural discrimination in fundamental personal rights on the grounds of sex, race, color, social conditions, language, or religion must be curbed and eradicated as incompatible with God's design. 4

"Ever mindful, therefore, of the basic truth that our Colored Catholic brethren share with us the same spiritual life and destiny, the same membership in the Mystical Body of Christ, the same dependence upon the Word of God, the participation in the Sacraments, especially the Most Holy Eucharist, the same need of moral and social encouragement,let there be no further discrimination or segregation in the pews, at the Communion rail, at the confessional and in parish meetings, just as there will be no segregation in the kingdom of heaven."Rummel, Most Reverend Joseph Francis.

"Racial segregation as such is morally wrong and sinful because it is a denial of the unity and solidarity of the human race as conceived by God in the creation of Adam and Eve."Rummel, Most Reverend Joseph Francis.

Oh, lookie, we can see an Archbishop teaching what you'd said was heresy and gnosticism! Either you don't know the teachings of the religion you claim to follow, you're lying about them, or you're actually following a different religion and lying about it (well, you do simultaneously call yourself an ultramontanist and then from the other side of your mouth say that the Pope and the Catholic hierarchy are so corrupt and evil they don't have any authority over you, so your honesty is rather in doubt).
Back in the day they also excommunicated folks who said milder things than you do:
On April 16, 1962, the Monday before
Easter, Rummel excommunicated three local Catholics for defying the authority of the Church and organizing protests against the archdiocese
...
The excommunications made national headlines and had the tacit support of
Pope John XXIII.
You wouldn't be a "pillar" of your parish if they knew what you say over here (unless you're part of some schismatic splinter-group of the Catholic Church, which is entirely possible).
The Orthodox Church is in fact organized around national and ethnic jurisdictional authority structures.
This is either pig-headedly ignorant or an out-right, bald-faced lie:
en.wikipedia.org
Phyletism or
ethnophyletism (from Greek ἔθνος
ethnos "nation" and φυλετισμός
phyletismos "tribalism") is the principle of nationalities applied in the ecclesiastical domain: in other words, the conflation between church and
nation. The term
ethnophyletismos designates the idea that a local
autocephalous church should be based not on a local (
ecclesial) criterion, but on an ethnophyletist, national or linguistic one. It was used at the Holy and Great (Μείζων
Meizon "enlarged") pan-Orthodox Synod in Constantinople on 10 September 1872 to qualify "phyletist (religious) nationalism", which was condemned as a modern ecclesial
heresy: the church should not be confused with the destiny of a single nation or a single
race.
Of course, you're directly guilty of this by Orthodox standards as you associate Christianity and Christendom completely with "MUH GLORIOUS ALL-CONQUERING ARYAN GERMANICS" to the point you say that they were the
real originators of the Catholic Church (setting it up as a "folk religion", that's a very interesting term when spelled with a "v") and pagan blonde-haired blue-eyed Vikings sacrificing a bishop to Odin are part of "Christendom" where dutifully churchgoing dark-skinned and dark-haired Ethiopians aren't (one must note again that this was not the actual medieval worldview; in the early 1400s the Kingdom of Aragon had no inherent qualms about setting up a marriage alliance with the Empire of Ethiopia).
But then again your only qualifier for counting Protestant Confederates as "brothers in Christ" is "they thought slavery was kewl just like I do" so you really do have no real religious convictions. Only convictions about race and your own superiority masquerading as them.
You've also since abandoned your previous "Touch not the Lord's Anointed!" stance, for your real position: "lol, kill the king if you don't like him and you can get away with it, who cares?". So dissimulation is a consistent part of your rhetorical strategy (only you're really stupid about doing it so you act as if every time you post it was the first time ever). Either that or you're legally insane.
'Eugenics' is literally just Aristocratic concern for good breeding and mate selection.
The Catholic Church disagrees:
en.wikipedia.org
Casti connubii speaks out against the
eugenics laws, then popular, that forbade those deemed 'unfit' from marrying and having children: "Those who act in this way are at fault in losing sight of the fact that the family is more sacred than the State and that men are begotten not for the earth and for time, but for Heaven and eternity."
[5]
...
It also took a strong stand against forced sterilizations.
[6] Pius XI stated that if no crime has taken place and there is no cause present for grave punishment, magistrates have no direct power over the bodies of their subjects.
In fact, Catholics at the time eugenics was really really openly popular (among leftists and progressives, of whom you are one even as you call yourself the only real right-winger on these forums) were among its most fervent critics. If you've read enough Chesterton to get to his critique of Carthage as an "over-civilised" society, you've read enough to know that he, to be mild, disapproved of eugenics and the "race theories" that were all the rage at the time. So did Tolkien, so you can stop pretending to like him now.
(As a consolation, you can continue to view a culture of Nietzschean will-to-power transhumanists who respect no law or religion, delight in torturing their enemies, genetically engineer their slaves to worship them and engage in wanton and rampant sexual immorality and rape as a good template for society. Because surely Jesus and the church say that's ideal.)
I often hear this opinion from Christians of various sects, but it has never made sense to me. How is this not just Gnosticism?
Saying only the Soul or the Spirit is meaningful is next to saying that only the immaterial is real and matter is meaningless or even evil.
When you die, do you expect the colour of your skin or your genetic makeup to matter? Oh, you probably literally do, my apologies for the rhetorical question. Either that or you believe you have a super-special "white soul" or even "Anglo soul". Both ideas are retarded, deemed heretical by the vast majority of Christian denominations, and have more to do with gnosticism than anything you excoriate.
Maybe if people from all sorts of Christian denominations are all trying to explain this idea to you, they're the ones who're right and you're the one who's wrong. But you'll never consider that, just as you've never considered that other people can skim Wikipedia and do Google searches, and don't have a lower memory span than a goldfish. Because you plainly have an obsession with your own perceived personal superiority over all of us and indeed over all mankind.
I mean, your whole definition of "monarchy" is "one man is free, all the others are little more than slaves to him", as the only form of government that doesn't degenerate into the evil modern world. And you see yourself as the "king" of this utopia, as you've made clear, with the right to inflict whatsoever tortures you please on whosoever offends you (God, the horrors your wife and kids must be going through. I am praying for them right now). The literal whole emotional root of your ideology (which I've defined in a previous post) is one massive sustained temper tantrum that other people with different wills to you exist and your need to destroy this evil world that doesn't bend to your whims, or to see it destroyed (rather like Tolkien's portrayal of Satan).
Whereas the idea of mixing all men everywhere into one brown mess reminds me of the Tower of Babel.
This would have a shred of validity if:
A: The sin of Babel had been "miscegenation" and not human pride.
B: the foundation of the Church at Pentecost hadn't been the literal reversal of the judgement at Babel.
You literally say "sola scriptura is heretical" and then reject
the Catholic church's interpretation of the Bible for your own idiosyncratic one that
just so happens to line up with your obsessions. That's brazen as all Hell.
EDIT: Lol. No reply. Cowardice on display yet again. Refuses to stand up for his self-proclaimed principles like a man.
