Apologize, Retreat, Rally

The Sad Posture of the "Theoretically" "Organized" "Protest"ant Church Part 1

Jun 25, 2025

The Self-Abandonment of the West

The Protestant church, which should have taken dominion, instead fled from the West—retreating into pietism, revivalism, or denominational politics, while the Old Gods were enthroned over the stones.

This is a reckoning. Not Rome. Not Islam. Not secularism.

US

—the heirs of the Reformation. The sons and daughters of Luther, Calvin, Tyndale, Knox and … Adams.

The baptized. The ones who were given the American nations—and lost them, or sold them, or are brutally stigmatized now by them. But the W.A.S.P.’s did not simply lose the West by honorable defeat. No. “We” abandoned ourselves and everyone else in Feminist cowardice.

This is a brief history of failure.

The Protestant Church, inspired by the Gospel of Christ Jesus, lost the tribal Rod of the Reformation, in the end, by surrendering it. Instead of building, it retreated. Instead of reigning, it rationalized. Instead of discipling nations, it divided into denominations. And as the saints withdrew, the Old Gods returned.

🔱 What This Is Not

This is not a call for “culture war.” This is not a retreat into nostalgia. This is not a plan to win elections.

This is a call to repent. To remember. To rebuild.

• Reclaim the Word.

• Restore the altars.

• Reforge the sword of truth.

To Protest

The reoccupation of stones where idols now sit...by prayer and petition.

For the King listens. But not exactly to Demoncazy….

Part I: The Threshold of Stones – A False Victory

The Protestant church, which held dominion in the West retreated into arguments called pietism, revivalism, and denominationalism, among many, many other things. In the meantime, the Old Gods were enthroned over the geographic dictionary of “America.”

The inheritance of Christendom—its cities, its councils, its cathedrals, its law, its languages—was to be stewarded under the iron-scepter of faith in the Lamb and His Word. But in the centuries following the Reformation, a new paralysis took root among the children of the Word. Not persecution. Not external invasion. But flight. A retreat. Not just from Rome—but from dominion over our own houses under the smothering dialectic of socratic in-fighting.

They who had shattered idols with the preaching of the Gospel began to replace that Gospel with personal sentiment, private fervor, or bureaucratic tonespeech. While the sacred fire was debated and domesticated, the shrines of the Old Gods - the truly Bad Names - were left unattended until they were considered bad no longer. Don’t say “bloody” on British TV, but say “Feck” all you buggers like.

This is not Luther. This isn’t fixable by more Calvin. This is what our fathers could not to see because we were blinded by the enlightening doubt that the Holy Fire will indeed stick to his Epistles… to His Letters… to the Spirit of the Matter in Fact and Truth.

THE HIGH PLACES NEVER CAME DOWN

“They feared the Lord, yet served their own gods—according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.” (2 Kings 17:33)

The Reformation was not the end of idolatry in Europe. It was the eviction of a tyrant from the throne—but not the burning of the groves. Protestantism removed the mask of the whore, but failed to drive out her spirits. In 2025 Christian America, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and all free AngloReaders included, need to face our reckoning:

• The Reformation stalled out papal idolatry, yes.

• But we failed to establish a unified dominion theology.

• We have no good angle on our authority.

• The “two kingdoms” model was misunderstood as platonic bipolar separation, rather than a triune distinction of understanding.

• Christian monarchies fell, and no Protestant replacement rose to unify Christendom under the Monarchy of Heaven save the British/Danish/Germanium Crown.

• As cathedrals emptied, universities filled with demons.

When the Church lost her eschatological mandate to reign under Christ, she ceded the cosmos to powers she at the same (space) “time” claimed to renounce.

The myth of neutrality was preached from pulpits.

Stones remember what men forget. The Watchers returned. And we, their sons, forgot how to fight them.

PIETISM, REVIVALISM, AND THE SPIRITUAL COUP

• Pietism turned the cosmic faith of Abraham into a self-focused therapy, now harnessed by big technocratic pharmindustrial-complexity.

• Revivalism manufactured ecstatic moments, replacing covenant with mood, feminizing from discipline to sentiment in a built-for-TV drift from Logos to Pathos, two-stepping with Silly Sally all along the way.

• Denominationalism divided the House of God into tribal fealties and filing cabinets ruled by the Almighty Dollar and the 13 Stripes of Independence (from what exactly, we are not agreed).

Instead of reforming the nations, Protestantism has colonized private hearts for the ends of branding schemes. The real swords have long surrendered, however they did it, and Christ has sat on this Throne in a corner cordoned off while Martha-Mania runs her tongue rampant over every worthy prayer in sight.

Sincerity will at times be damned.

THE KINGDOM OURS REMAINETH

Where the saints retreated, the stones called out. And what answered?

• Thor and Satan rebranded as sexual liberation and medical rights.

• Daphne institutionalized (zeitgeisted) as “the economy” (ie “Communism.)

• Athena and Apollo enthroned in universities, museums, and the sciences as grifting games of credtialized tribalism.

• Hermes slithers in our cribs via the massive social programming experiment that has always been “language modeling.”

• Hecate now governs gender. (Question mark?) lol.

• And Pluto, the proud fraud, masquerades again as Baal of the world.

These gods never died. They were merely unmasked. And when Protestant preachers stopped naming demons, they gave them reign to rename everything else.

Part II: Pietism – How Private Faith Became Public Cowardice

THE DEATH OF THE (Re)PUBLIC(an) MAN

The Protestant Reformers were public men: theologians, magistrates, translators, and kings. Their doctrines tore through Europe because they understood that Christ is Lord of all, not merely of the heart. But by the late 1600s, this fire dimmed. Exhausted by wars, scandalized by division, and confused by Enlightenment poison, the children of Reform turned inward.

Thus was born the permutation: Technical Anti-Authoritarian Anti-Structural Pietism.

• Not the pursuit of holiness, but the replacement of dominion with inward emotional overt-focus.

• Not the imitation of Christ according to his letters by means of his Spirit, but the cultivation of personal spiritual experience by any means possible.

• Not public doctrine boldly preached in all wisdom and understanding, but private opinions devoted to fragile journals later enshrined as state politic and branding memes.

This paradigm shifted us From Kingdom to Quiet Time. From Creed to Feeling. From Sacrament to Sentiment.

WAIT. BUT WHY?

Pietism is not heresy in its first movement. It begins with the biblical call to categorization. It ended with the heresy of platonization refusing to leave the closet.

A root feature of emotionalism is overreaction: the enshrining of Pluto-ism in the schools ensured a dichomatic kickback among the plebeians in their circles:

1. Internalism: Truth became measured by how it makes us feel.

2. Isolation: Holiness detached from culture, politics, and especially communal-congregationalism.

3. Anti-intellectualism: Doctrine became an obtuse word, like poetry mocked with suspicion in polite society.

4. Anti-sacramentalism: The means of grace became downplayed, replaced or liturgized into obscurity.

5. Privatization: Christianity is a “personal relationship” with no public claim.

These impulses are abandonment—retreat from the battlefield of the nations in slothfully democratic speculation.

THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF ESCAPISM

As the scholastic(Platonic)-pietistic(Aristiholic) Hegelian MarxMonster grew:

• The family disintegrated. Fatherhood spiritualized.

• The state secularized. Christianity became irrelevant to governance.

• “The Church” is now a horde of endless microsects. Each claiming a purer piety more specialler than the last.

• The world became bolder. Enlightenment, revolution, and atheism charged the vacuum.

• The devil was forgotten. And the demons rejoiced to build games around him.

Plato’s children ever forget the names of the gods their forefathers pray to, to the third and fourth generation.

So the cycle turns again, queue Don Quixote, stage left.

THE FALSE HOLINESS OF RETREAT

Jesus did not say: “Go into your prayer closet and ensure no mudbloods ever talk their dirty wrongspeak around your huddle-cult again.” He said: “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” He said, “Let your light so shine before men…” He said, “Mathetaes the ethnaes…”

Scholasticized-Emotionalism, or “Feminism” for short, took the candle and hid it under the communal banner of pretension. Worse—she judged those who held their torches aloft to see by as arrogant, worldly, and power-hungry. The Reformation of Godly Men became a crossword puzzle of chief suspicions. Schooling boys became no way to make martyrs. While jihadists raise fanatics, the Protestant Kingdom is not even a good metaphor.

This is not humiliation by proxy. This is betrayal.

TRUE PIETY IS PATRIARCHAL DOMINION AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS

The solution is not to abandon piety—but to taste the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Constant King.

• True spirit kneels in prayer to rise with power.

• True spirit repents so in order to proclaim.

• True spirit eats Scripture for the confidence to stand before kings.

• True spirit studies in the corner in order to march with wisdom on the square.

There is no distinction between public and private TRUST.

Part III: Revivalism – The Drug of the Weeping Masses

Because Greek without Jesus forces the ionization of everything, retreat into the private soul became a hot commodity in the new world. American Revivalism harnessed that jester’s fire to set the post Wild West campground ablaze.

Heh.

The promise of power by emotion overflowed with songs, sermons, and tears. It shook tents, wagons, and towns. And then—it vanished. The Protestant world, starved of purpose, found “spending money trying to bring it back” to be a powerful substitute for personal responsibility.

• One night of mission instead of a life of obedience.

• One trembling door-knock instead of steady discipleship.

• One gifted preacher instead of an enduring people.

It is easier to be changed when you like to feel changed than it is to stand firm against the tide.

THE FALSE FIRE PRO-MOMMY-THEOS

Feminism has never been a logical theology—Rules for Radicals is a technique:

1. Emotional laden environments.

2. Charismatic over personalization of conversation.

3. Crisis manipulation by sentimental judgment.

4. Instant assurance based on pretension.

5. Mob-mindedness as the numbers tell the tail… . Wolf. Bark.

SHEEP. BAH.

This formula is not Reformation. It more a recipe for Dionysian frenzy—nostalgia masquerading as repentance. The result? A burned-out field waving mostly unrecognizable banners. A crowd of couch Christians converted to sensation and consumer democracy.

But no roots.

Wherever Feminism roods:

• Churches have no True sense of Covenant.

• Baptism is Optionalized as Matrilineal Performance Virtue Signaling.

• Doctrine is made a distraction by Babylonian misogynetic (spelling very correct, ma’am) hatred of Lady Wisdom.

• Overseers, Elders and Servants are replaced with celebrity emoters.

• Evangelism is become our coined term for salesmanship.

Worstest:

Feminism replaced the joy of salvation with the last gasp of a dying woman in labor. She teaches all to love the mountaintop experience only in vain efforts to ignore the valley of Death. She promises Pentecostal fervor while denying the need for Sinaitic honor.

Man exalted over God’s covenant, in the end, hands his rod to woman.

And she beats him to shame and back with it.

FROM FLASHPAN TO FAITHSEED

True Spirit comes by:

• preaching of the Scriptures, in season and out of season.

• external Baptism that does not fade with the mood.

• a Covenantal Restaurant that does not cater.

• daily renewal in the Spirit of repentance that grants no footholds to shame.

• the catholic faith in the Body of Christ, with credentials and credit to the fathers who spoke more than once as one “for us men, and for our salvation”

Who denies that God revives?

Who believes that Jesus Christ does not save? Who knows not the power of the Name now written in the Blood? Who does not have angels watching over them?

The theatre will end. The show will not go on. But the Verbs of Domination Manet in Aeternum.

Part IV: Denominationalism – The Suicide of the Household of God

The Protestant Reformation broke the back of idolatrous tyranny. But the sons of the Reformers, instead of building the New Jerusalem, built fortresses to protect their own corner of the truth.

• Lutherans fortified their confession and feared contamination.

• Calvinists turned theology into a badge of tribal purity.

• Anabaptists withdrew from the world entirely.

• Anglicans inherited the crown but lost the doctrine.

• Methodists sought order—then burned out from it.

• Baptists refused hierarchy—then splintered endlessly.

Thus arose Denominationalism, the “don’t be a square” root of Christian division:

This is the idolization of distinction.

Not diversity in the Body—but division as supra-baptismal-disciplinary-identity. The fights of the Reformation are now calcified into to longest and truest Cold War. Each denomination in the current disorder quietly has sunk into believing: “We are not just part of the Church—we are the hope of the Church.”

One baptized into Christ is only safe in the proper registry. An elder is only valid if ordained by the correct bureaucracy. Open communion is a byproduct of the Platonic-dualistic reactionaryism seeking to forge a solution to the epically impossible Kobayashi Maru of practicing closed communion as a pastor on your own initiative.

What began as theological conviction long ago hardened into cynic-branded pride. The Body of Christ is a federation of arguing managers. When asked, “Where is Christ’s Church?”—not a one could agree, much less ask the Pope to call a Council on the matter.

DENOMINATIONAL POLITICS REPLACED THE GOSPEL MANDATE

Church became: Conventions. Committees. Quorums and constitutions with dogmatics in the footnotes and the black sheep in the closets.

Paper-pushers for piety could only wish for a nation full of Ned Flanders.

While ancient gods reclaim the city gates, the saints hold votes on style. While Babylon’s towers rise higher around us, men and women debate women’s ordination with paid lawyers. The Gospel is denied by being, quite precisely, (and with adverbs!!!) domesticated.

The crown is not stolen. It was on TV just before “the Queen” died. It’s been shelved by the House of Baals.

DIVISION IS THE MAKULA PAPA ON “THE WEST”

The real cost of denominationalism’s confusion is powerlessness. Evangelism unites no testimonies. Theology prophesies no fire. Confirmation in a lack of universal disciplines is nothing to be proud of.

Prayers and bells are silenced. Rings and Tones tell the tale of cold hearts and minds.

Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing—but never without one Conductor! Unity through compromise is bribery and usury rolled into one giant 666. This is no reason soft pad our terms with Rome nor preach the gospel of bishopricks and magical hand tricks. No rings deserve to be kissed in the Household of Christ, except those, perhaps, of a marriage.

If the pope would like me to wash his feet, on the other hand, let him ask.

I kneel to Christ and… well, it would seem (in this Republicanized fever dream) the Constitution’s of the One God over America, who can only finally be the Father, who sends the Spirit of Patriarchy and the Sword of Abraham.

The Second Amendment is fascinating.

But I am not writing to preach faction or tool. I am confessing that our division is a sin, not a virtue. I call again for one Church, under one Lord, baptized into one Name, as the Creeds and meet Councils knew and loved.

The world needs no more denominational schemes. We do not need to heal the schism of a platonic history in the idealistic sky future. That is Jesus’ job. We must focus on the schism that we see right in front of us, in our homes, on our streets, face to face, every day.

The world needs the household of God—bride, body, and army—made visible, local, unashamed, and ruled by the Logos as a people who adore the Spirit of Reconciliation.
