The Art of Turning Back

CS Lewis said regarding progressivism: 

RE: The Clock: "First, as to putting the clock back. Would you think I was mocking you if I answered that the clock is not always right? ... We have all passed a turn in the road that has led us to a place where we do not want to be, and it is time to turn back."

RE: Turning Back: "We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man" (Mere Christianity).

One of the most progressive colleges in the nation, Hampshire College, announced Tuesday it will shut down permanently, as it is out of cash and out of options.

Their story is the profile of so-called progressivism.

Theologian Claims Adam and Eve Were 'Human-Like Creatures,' Jonah Didn't Exist

Satan quoted Scripture in the Temptation of Jesus. He often misquotes Scripture to all he seeks to deceive.

Theologian NT Wright claims Adam and Eve were 'human-like creatures,' Jonah and the great fish is a 'folk tale.'

The Christian Post says, "Famed New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop Tom 'N.T.' Wright says he’s not sure whether some of the most famous figures in the Holy Bible actually existed."

Politician James Talarico, who is a Presbyterian seminary student and Texas state representative running for the US Senate, is making the case that the "Bible sanctions abortion" based on Mary's vision from God. And sanctions and defends the LGBTQ movement, and a general secular progressive worldview.

Another Jesus

Associated Press is reporting that "For some evangelical Christians, faith is about having a personal relationship with Jesus. At $1.99 per minute, the tech company Just Like Me is taking that concept to a new level."

For all the technical wonders that AI is generating, there seems to be an equal measure of horrors. AI Jesus is definitely in the latter column.

Zohran Mamdani says he is just getting started.

To hear CNN tell his story of 100 days, you might conclude that New York City stands at the threshold of "Utopia."

It could also be called "the 100 days of pothole politics."
