00:01:22.440 application we first have to talk about foundation what are we up against right any any general will
00:01:30.300 survey the battlefield before he sends soldiers in if he can you'll do recon even god sent in hebrew 0.73
00:01:37.700 spies to scout the land so we're going to give you a chance through us to scout the land we're going to
00:01:46.240 take you through the seven worldviews in order that they have deconstructed your culture to bring you
00:01:53.980 to the point and bring us to the brink that we are at heading into the end of 2019 right now some of
00:02:01.220 these terms are going to seem a little um you know college don't let that intimidate you okay um we'll
00:02:08.540 first of all i i barely made it out of community college and found out when they kicked me out of
00:02:13.780 school they don't give degrees for playing super tech mobile an entire semester so if i can learn
00:02:18.520 this material all right so can you because i'm going to make it as about as simple as possible
00:02:23.240 for you because that's what it had to be for me all right so we're going to start with the help of a
00:02:27.760 good friend of our show dr jeremiah johnson some of you may have seen him on fox news the last few
00:02:31.900 years and he is with houston baptist university he's also the head of the christian thinkers it's
00:02:37.740 society correct aaron that's correct christian thinkers society all right he's you're going to hear
00:02:41.700 his voice in some of these intros as well we're going to give you a look a brief look at the very
00:02:47.080 first worldview that began all of this and it's called gnosticism
00:02:52.140 well it'd be based on knowledge truth is the fact that um is um your own faith
00:03:11.520 your own beliefs and your upbringing we think about gnosticism of course it's based on the greek word
00:03:18.760 gnosis which means knowledge or indeed salvation through and by knowledge in short salvation through
00:03:26.320 a special knowledge knowledge that is as it were esoteric and it can be acquired listen only by a
00:03:34.100 specific few elite thinkers i think it's a privilege to call yourself a scientologist and it's something
00:03:39.500 that you have to earn being a scientologist when you drive past an accident it's not like anyone
00:03:45.280 else as you drive past you know you have to do something about it because you know you're the only
00:03:51.340 one that can really help the esoteric special knowledge these individuals who have come up with
00:03:57.460 if you will a key that unlocks truth how do we sift truth from belief how do we write our own
00:04:06.300 histories personally or culturally and thereby define ourselves how do we penetrate years centuries of
00:04:13.620 historical distortion to find original truth well greetings everyone thank you for joining me today
00:04:20.300 is we do a tremendous incredible study on the hebrew alphabet and god's words now not just god's word
00:04:27.600 the bible but the individual words and letters of the old testament we've seen iterations both in modern
00:04:33.720 times and historical times but it is at its essence salvation just for a privileged few jehovah's 0.99
00:04:40.840 witnesses hold the cross in contempt feeling that it is nothing more than a pagan symbol used by apostate
00:04:47.500 christendom when he executes judgment over the world at armageddon he will destroy all but the 0.63
00:04:53.440 faithful jehovah's witnesses today i've got a message prepared for you on who are the 144 000 that's a good
00:04:59.700 question who are the 144 000 and it's ultimately very self-righteous and haughty and make no mistake
00:05:07.280 there is no place for faith and there's no place for grace and gnosticism when we think about
00:05:12.440 the the world of the bible that is the world of jesus and judaism we think about the new testament
00:05:17.300 138 000 greek words the beauty of the greek new testament is it was written in a common tongue a
00:05:24.620 common language a rather elemental greek language that guess what could be understood appreciated
00:05:31.580 assimilated by the entire world these things were not hidden to us we hear in the epistles but they
00:05:37.600 were revealed for all in fact in acts 4 peter said that you all are witnesses of the fact of the
00:05:44.580 historical fact of the resurrection of jesus christ from the dead indeed the gospel is good news for
00:05:50.060 the whole world not an esoteric view so that's a brief look at gnosticism which is this idea that
00:05:59.660 there is some unattainable or ultimate secret source of knowledge that only a special few can gain access
00:06:07.580 one of the first acts of the u.s congress when this country was merely a foundling was the
00:06:13.920 commissioning and distribution of bibles take a little shot at my catholic buddy over here it was
00:06:20.080 actually geneva bible because they've they viewed that as the the best way to continue the themes of
00:06:26.220 the protestant reformation as long as the check clears in the new year i can tolerate such things
00:06:33.560 so that was one of the first acts of the u.s congress was the commissioning of bibles and the
00:06:38.560 distribution of them it was one of the main textbooks when when children were executed were
00:06:44.880 were educated executed that's a freudian slip for what we're doing and too many of our kids today
00:06:49.740 uh but uh the when children were educated at the founding of the country one of the bible was a primary
00:06:55.580 textbook one of the foundational textbooks in the 13 colonies then the 13 states was what's called the
00:07:01.740 new england primer i mean kids were literally taught the alphabet in the new england primer with a
00:07:07.180 is for adam whose sin stained us all this is how they were taught in the public schools you want to
00:07:15.800 blow your mind go online next commercial break or after the show you're going noah webster's i am
00:07:22.720 yeah yeah see we've been doing this all too long it's like it's almost like we share a brain now
00:07:27.340 okay uh like you even knew i was gonna take a shot at you when i mentioned the bible
00:07:30.700 distributions probably you knew that was that's a day that ends in y yes yeah and you'll get me back
00:07:34.960 later i'm sure but um um one of the um um i forgot what was i gonna say thank you noah webster if you
00:07:43.280 want to blow your mind go online and google noah webster's 1828 dictionary his very first edition
00:07:50.500 edition and you can go in there and type in words on this site that will tell you what noah
00:07:57.680 webster himself hand wrote in his 1828 dictionary compared to how we define them today and then words
00:08:06.000 that are in our everyday language in the news that are part of how we do public policy in america today
00:08:14.100 we're not even in noah webster's 1828 dictionary we go into much more detail on these worldviews and
00:08:24.180 topics on our on our podcast we've got more time so today we kind of want to give you practical
00:08:29.720 examples of what all these worldviews are to make it as this this information is accessible to you as
00:08:36.060 possible if you want to know what gnosticism is in the 21st century in america turn on the history channel
00:08:43.380 i spent a good amount of time saturday night because lsu was just destroying oklahoma and there
00:08:52.100 was nothing else on waiting for the other college football semifinal to come on and i probably watched
00:08:58.440 about an hour and a half of the history channel doing another you won't talk about stuff that ends and
00:09:04.480 why another endless um you know montage of shows called ancient aliens
00:09:11.000 and do you guys know where this whole theory really comes from
00:09:17.240 it comes from a swiss hotel manager named eric von donnegan i know i used to believe in this stuff
00:09:27.460 i used to study this stuff i used to be into the occult and all of this secret origin stuff
00:09:32.120 so i'm pretty well versed on it eric von donnegan was a swiss hotel manager
00:09:37.320 when he wrote chariots of the gods 50 years ago and he's he is now the mastermind behind all of the
00:09:45.080 programming on the history channel which says there's there's only some very special information
00:09:49.900 that only the special few would know that aliens came here and seeded the earth and we come from them
00:09:56.580 and if you're not special then we can't get back to that knowledge and and acquire it all for
00:10:02.000 ourselves that's what gnosticism looks like in your culture today aliens are the history channel 0.98
00:10:13.760 at christmas this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:11:04.260 to our show on itunes stitcher google play and all of the various interwebs as well today we're taking
00:11:10.980 a look at the worldviews that brought us to crazy being our new normal we're gonna teach us some
00:11:18.320 philosophy and history today so we've already talked about the very first deadly worldview this idea that
00:11:23.960 there's only special knowledge for a special few that the the truth is not really out there um that
00:11:30.880 you have to be on a a certain road through go through certain gatekeepers in order to acquire
00:11:35.980 it it's it's exclusive not in the way that things that contradict each other cannot be mutually true
00:11:42.280 but exclusive only to select company and as pearl jam once sang on the vitalogy our vitalogy album
00:11:49.560 it's not for you okay now we come to the second and this is the one that trips us up as a species
00:11:58.020 this is where when faced with fallacy and error when faced with something we know just doesn't
00:12:04.460 something about that doesn't seem right so how do we react to it because if we react wrong to that
00:12:12.860 which is wrong then two wrongs as my mama taught me growing up do not make a right let's discuss with
00:12:20.660 the help of our friend dr jeremiah johnston from houston baptist university and the christian
00:12:25.220 thinkers institute let's discuss legalism
00:12:28.820 i think doing the best
00:12:43.840 that i can based on what i understand that to be for myself do you believe that if you
00:12:54.660 please god then you will go to heaven yes when we talk about legalism the first thing that i want
00:13:01.960 our viewers to appreciate is the fact that legalism at its essence is as bad as liberalism they they
00:13:08.120 both are terrible as it relates to faith because it is faith or grace plus something else and there's a
00:13:14.760 fourth point about grace and that is that it can be resistant if we don't build our lives around
00:13:23.160 these seven principles then we're going to have these root problems we'll have surface wrong attitudes and
00:13:31.260 surface problems and our life will be one continuous failure ultimately with legalism you establish your
00:13:38.820 own righteousness your own standing before god by simply coming up with your own man-made religious
00:13:44.980 system which is a list of rules that you live by that you abide by and that you indeed judge your
00:13:50.980 neighbors through was it a fermented wine that jesus drank or that he made remember he went to the wedding
00:13:56.280 uh feast and and first miracle it was a big thing about dungeons and dragons and people actually got
00:14:02.600 absorbent and stuff they took on those roles and they began doing horrible things and it was almost 1.00
00:14:08.140 like an invitation to demonic possession ariel i cannot let this dance happen wren mccormick made a lot
00:14:15.940 of people stop and think i object to that kind of music and i think you know why because people
00:14:20.660 fornicate to it i never said that that's what you told the church board that was not meant for your
00:14:25.100 ears you it makes you better than other people um you don't do certain things so you are a better
00:14:30.460 example of christ than others god hates australia land of the sodomite damned we boil christianity
00:14:39.180 down to a list of rules do's and don'ts and this is not at all the essence of the christian faith
00:14:45.300 christianity is the beauty that we are not perfect we are forgiven there is no place for legalism in fact
00:14:53.280 jesus toughest words were reserved for the righteous legalistic pharisees those that thought they had
00:15:00.220 no need of a savior and those that were quick to judge and quick to speak up and condemn the world
00:15:06.300 around them and i think it's interesting and notable that in almost every place we see the
00:15:11.220 historical jesus teach in the gospels and keep in mind over 30 times we hear that large crowds traveled
00:15:17.120 with jesus there was always a pharisee in the crowd i think of the scene in matthew 22 37 where the
00:15:23.280 nobikos the professor the expert in the law wants to ask jesus what is the greatest commandment
00:15:28.540 and that pharisee is trying to trap him and jesus quotes the shaman said we should love the god god
00:15:33.340 with our heart soul and mind so the beauty of the christian faith is that it meets us exactly where
00:15:39.260 we're at and it saves us right where we're at it saves us out of the unimaginable experiences
00:15:45.040 we don't have to do performance because we trust in christ performance on our behalf
00:15:49.840 so here's how this plays out here's how legalism is playing out in our culture today and it's it's
00:15:59.580 how we helped set the stage for the rest of the the other five deadly worldviews that we're going to
00:16:04.240 talk about here later in the program and it's it's how we respond to error and fallacy do we respond
00:16:14.100 with intuition opinion you know right now on the amer in the american right there's there's a big
00:16:25.200 tactical debate that's taking place and the the tactical debate comes down to well there's two
00:16:31.880 tactical debates there's one that i i think is an edifying conversation that is long overdue that you
00:16:38.900 know i've been trying to have that conversation and throughout the course of my entire career
00:16:42.900 in conservative media starting from when i started at who radio ronald reagan was the first sports
00:16:48.560 director there uh here in here in des moines iowa where i live okay this conversation of what
00:16:55.520 ultimately is the purpose of the conservative movement and that has played out if you've followed
00:17:00.520 the david french sarab amari debate throughout the course of this year that that's been the debate that
00:17:05.680 they're having is are we here to to manage decay are we here to get you know conscience clauses
00:17:12.600 and exemptions to drag queen story time hour or are we here to defeat it which is it i think that's
00:17:19.760 a worthwhile debate the other because here's the thing you we only get to be better as a movement
00:17:25.780 by having that debate we don't you you may disagree vehemently but it doesn't make you worse at being
00:17:32.380 a conservative meaning you're trying to conserve that's the the root word of a word is always what
00:17:37.420 the word means so if you're a conservative that means you're trying to conserve that which has
00:17:42.880 proven to be true and beautiful for the human condition for this and future generations that's
00:17:47.740 what you're that's why you're a conservative you're trying to conserve those things so the the french 1.00
00:17:52.620 omari debate regardless of which side of it you're on or how frustrated you are with the other side of
00:17:57.560 it you only we only get better as a movement because that's the right debate to have meaning it's
00:18:04.180 edifying it elevates the the purposes and principles we're supposedly all here for does that make
00:18:09.220 sense this other debate i don't believe does that and i think it's destructive and it's and it really
00:18:16.800 comes down to how much rot gut and saul alinsky-esque tactics that the left has used against us right out of
00:18:27.160 a book dedicated to satan literally how many of those should we adopt in order to fight fire with fire
00:18:33.740 how much reprobate should we be how low should we go and what ends up happening for those of us
00:18:46.060 that say i'm not i'm not watering down my beliefs at all um what is the point of that what is what is
00:18:55.740 what is what is the point of giving cultural marxist 50 pick a percentage 60 70 80 40 pick
00:19:03.740 a number pick a number above 10 what is the point of giving them that and then fighting them um it's a
00:19:11.380 losing battle these people hate this movement hates america it hates western civilization it's fine with
00:19:17.800 tearing all of this down it's fine with all of the the the the venom that we could spew like a water
00:19:24.920 hose a fire hose all throughout the culture it doesn't care it doesn't care if you fight their boycott
00:19:29.520 with a boycott and they're cancel with a cancel we're just you know zero times zero is zero we're
00:19:35.440 just gonna spread hate to fight hate i'm not doing any of that well then that means you're not really
00:19:41.560 a conservative you're not really a christian steve if you won't conform to my fallacy in response
00:19:52.260 to a fallacy then you're not really a blank that's what legalism does i get those emails
00:20:02.120 all of the time now thankfully i grew up in a home where i didn't have the best dad
00:20:06.940 you know and on a given day there in grand rapids michigan shout out to wood am i saw you guys tweeted
00:20:11.900 at me earlier today i listened to that station growing up so it's a little surreal for me uh but
00:20:16.500 you know on a given day coming home from jackson park junior high or rogers high school man i didn't
00:20:20.900 know if we were going to cedar point disney world or gonna get beat because your guess was as good
00:20:26.820 as mine when you grow up like that you learn not to need a lot of affirmation from other people so
00:20:33.120 thankfully i don't you can you can flood my compartment with all of your player hate frankly i feed off of
00:20:39.580 it it just convinces me i'm doing the right thing so i'll do it even more all right but that's this notion
00:20:45.100 that you've got to dress like me or look like me speak like me think exactly like me in order to have
00:20:53.720 access to this larger and supposedly unifying truth meaning people from disparate beliefs groups
00:21:03.760 languages customs come together around this shared belief not that i have to go through your
00:21:11.880 accessorizing in order to plug into it you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:21:19.180 back here on the glenn beck program we are the crew from the steve day show noon to 2 eastern right
00:21:24.520 after glenn beck here on blaze tv radio and podcast i'm steve days aaron mcintyre totters and here with
00:21:30.520 me as well if you want to learn more about us blaze tv.com slash dace that's d-e-a-c-e you can also
00:21:38.280 follow me on twitter at steve days show look us up and like us on facebook you have any questions
00:21:43.360 about what we're talking about here today with these seven deadly worldviews that are responsible
00:21:48.160 for the brink of cultural extinction that a lot of us feel we're on right now feel free to email me
00:21:55.260 steve at steve days dot com and we're talking about these worldviews because we're watching them
00:22:02.520 play out in our headlines every day our good buddy josh hammer over at the daily wire i saw him
00:22:07.960 tweet out a couple of days ago i don't know if you two saw this he said something along the lines
00:22:12.540 it's getting really difficult for him as a as a conservative jew it's getting difficult for him
00:22:17.300 to tell the difference between the social justice aims of reform judaism and the democratic party
00:22:22.800 platform because there isn't a difference because that's their worldview the democratic party platform
00:22:29.140 is the manifestation of of worldviews a lot of them the worldviews we're talking about today
00:22:37.660 just as a lot of people with more of an orthodox kind of faith meaning they believe more in the
00:22:43.280 traditional viewpoints you look at the republican party platform that's why it looks like that because
00:22:48.780 we can't escape our worldview as we're talking about the seven that have been unleashed on america
00:22:54.980 in this postmodern age now the first two are set the stage for the five to come we're going to get
00:23:01.640 to those five next with number three because now that we have deconstructed god now that we've pulled
00:23:08.940 a nietzsche and declared god is dead and we have killed him now that we have deconstructed the god that
00:23:14.840 our rights come from well blaze pascal is still correct that something has to fill that void in our
00:23:21.160 culture's heart something nature abhors a vacuum something will step forward to take the one true
00:23:27.980 god's place and it begins with our third worldview dualism
00:23:32.540 the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches
00:23:43.240 and the dark lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the dark lord knows
00:23:49.900 for neither can live while the other survives the emperor has been expecting you
00:24:02.480 i know father so you have accepted the truth i've accepted the truth that you were once anakin skywalker my
00:24:13.240 father that name no longer has any meaning for me it is the name of your true self you've only
00:24:19.860 forgotten i know there is good in you the emperor hasn't driven it from you fully search your feelings
00:24:27.080 father you can't do this i feel the conflict within you let go of your hate
00:24:32.000 it is too late for me son dualism goes back to plato the great classical thinker and even
00:24:41.020 neoplatonism which actually underlays much of what we heard about and learned about agnosticism
00:24:46.540 and it really divides reality into two levels or two compartments if you will heaven above which is
00:24:52.040 light it's beautiful it's perfect and this carbon copy below that's quite right it is imperfect it is dark
00:24:58.500 murky world this holy river came from the river in heaven that we call the milky way they say that
00:25:07.340 milky way actually is a reflection that you see in those waters which are still beyond we have many
00:25:13.380 gods in the trees there is god the river there is god even underneath the earth there is god the goddess
00:25:20.260 of earth but those gods are not like the created god because they are still traveling in the cycle of
00:25:28.940 birth and death out of this arises transcendentalism what is imminent or preeminent is god transcended
00:25:36.540 is god imminent this is the big question of dualism is god something we can attain to is it in some
00:25:42.660 perfect sphere or is he down here in the murky eminent world well the beauty of the christian faith is god
00:25:48.220 is both god is imminent and god is transcendent we don't have access to him as if he was a scientific
00:25:55.920 specimen but he is imminent he is present in our life and he is he is indeed transcendent he created
00:26:03.340 the world he sustains the world colossians tells us in his very hand and so i think it's very important
00:26:09.300 that we understand the nature of god as presented in the judeo-christian motif that presents god as both
00:26:15.820 transcendent and imminent so you see dualism in aaron's montage there you saw and heard clips
00:26:24.420 from harry potter uh you saw and heard clips uh from from star wars the if you remember the old george
00:26:31.720 burns some of you that are in the older generation remember the old george burns oh god you devil
00:26:35.760 movies uh the classic uh you know jiminy cricket angel on deb on one shoulder devil on the other
00:26:41.780 um it presents itself one of two ways that either evil is just as powerful as good that the devil is
00:26:48.760 just as powerful as god for example and then they are each vying for equally with an equal amount of
00:26:55.000 power and ability and access to you and i's affections another way that it that it presents itself
00:27:02.140 is it has a tendency to take the divine and just place it into um the circle of life we'll call it
00:27:09.360 how's that that's a song we all know if you're grew up in our era right okay and that by the way
00:27:14.980 the live action version of that this year i thought was fantastic of the lion king but basically it takes
00:27:19.540 the divine and and brings it down to our level or us up to his depending on the way you want to look
00:27:25.140 at it mr babble and puts us all in this circle of life so that essentially there's what we would call
00:27:33.140 oneness or this idea that there's not really mutually exclusive truth out there that things that are
00:27:43.000 totally um contradictory can both be true um and really the only bad thing there is in in this in this
00:27:52.560 point of view is to believe that there actually is exclusive truth out there now of course um it they
00:28:00.200 they those that believe in this love exclusive truth when it comes to gravity
00:28:04.080 right i mean they're not they're not standing at the top of a building
00:28:09.600 and uh you know the the leftists are telling us well you know i'm not sure jesus ever lived
00:28:16.720 when they're writing those columns for salon this time of year or they're writing for vox this time of
00:28:21.400 year and if you did um he was really just a social justice warrior che guevera in jewish rabbi
00:28:27.620 first century palestinian garb right okay um i noticed though that they're totally fine with
00:28:34.680 using their quote-unquote oneness to water down what you believe and the beliefs they don't like
00:28:40.340 but if you were to tell them you know i thought about it i prayed about it for a while
00:28:45.060 and i don't really think gravity is really exclusive so i'm going to invite you to jump out of this plane
00:28:50.960 while it's in the air oddly enough weird as it may be they're suddenly going to find they're not
00:29:00.160 only enamored but enthralled even by the notion of rather exclusive truth that doesn't just get
00:29:07.780 stirred up todd in the witch's witch's brew of blah meh that they prefer well the reason they get
00:29:14.400 pushed to that point though they're hubris in in separating into categories tribalism if you will
00:29:21.560 and that's a very topical uh world these days much earlier in the game doesn't allow for steve talks
00:29:27.720 about hypocrisy and rightly so but early in the game as a christian you do need to get comfortable
00:29:31.620 with paradox and the only way to do that is realize god's god and you're not doesn't mean stop
00:29:37.660 asking smart questions but i'm talking about uh what arguably is the uh oldest book in the bible
00:29:43.800 the book of job and there at the end after this very long conversation that is very much platonic
00:29:48.940 uh in many respects but what does god finally what ultimately says he says to sum it up to quote the
00:29:55.420 great prophet the rock shut your hole and know your role all right as the steven curtis chapman song
00:30:01.240 says uh god is god you are not so i will entertain your questions for a while but ultimately
00:30:07.620 there has to be an authority don't you do this with your own children right we amy and i entertain
00:30:13.180 our children's challenges to a point but then ultimately there's an authority in the home
00:30:18.440 and they're not you and so this is why i've said to our children from the time that they could
00:30:23.200 communicate with me i let this go on for a while the moment it becomes disrespectful or disobedient i
00:30:28.260 look at them and say who am i you're dead who are you not dad yep yeah ultimately
00:30:37.600 that ultimately is the answer and if you eventually if you understand paradox you can get comfortable
00:30:43.960 there if you don't you you never will you you need to have to answer everything the more i grow in
00:30:48.720 my faith the more mind scrambling questions i have and that's a fantastic thing right are we seeking
00:30:55.820 answers because we want a better idea of the of who the god is and whose image we're all made
00:31:03.160 or because we want to replace there it is dualism wants to replace him that's the difference between
00:31:11.480 uh healthy skepticism and post-modernism hey it's glenn and i want to tell you about something that you
