Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - In the previous post, (ie don’t read part 2 until you’ve read part 1), I introduced 5 things: A tweet rebuking Christians for trying to “out-month” the culture. A working definition of culture An Introduction to the biblical cultural mandate D. A. Caron’s observation about the spectrum of responses that Christians have to culture Bavinck’s assertion about the effects of the Gospel on society, through Christians. For the sake of ease, here again is the tweet being critiqued: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/7e31825f-8afe-45da-adc7-6be584ad11ec/IMG_2732.PNG Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/1686699712359-TI0EEQ9U2SDND353ZRZ5/image-asset.jpeg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - “Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, ‘I have gotten a man with the help of Yahweh.’ And again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a cultivator of the ground,” (Genesis 4:2). Here we start to see specializations of interest and employment. Every parent has observed how each of their children has their own God-given interests, skill and inclinations. Here Abel focuses on zoology, and Cain focuses on horticulture or agriculture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/1686700118751-9RJZOMG36JC1UZW4XGMP/image-asset.jpeg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - Then, “Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son” (Genesis 4:17). There is some disagreement as to which man the pronouns are pointing back to, but nevertheless Enoch and Cain are involved in city building. We have the men engaging in the observational sciences, discovering what God has made, and discovering the laws that govern what God has made, and then learning how to manipulate and use what God has made (we call this technology). This is the move towards urbanization. The would include planning and design, the utilization and allocation of resources, etc. This again is human culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/1686700590057-GGE2FO97L0BFY0RZYH2J/image-asset.jpeg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/1686700323480-08VTOHXCE6U2AXUDFCLH/image-asset.jpeg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - Here culture has really taken off. Jabal’s vocation has become increasingly specialized, like a rancher. Living in tents will come with its own processes of making tents, maintaining tents, the cooking, the sanitary issues, etc. Livestock will need to be cared for and fed. Anyone that has done any farming or ranching has some insight into how advanced man has to be at this time to employ such specialization in a meaningful way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/1686700810102-2ABH242PZUPWK9871ENK/image-asset.jpeg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/3d51a72b-60dd-434b-a577-ff723d6d815f/N05061_10.jpg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://howshouldwethenthink.com/blog/biblical-foundation-of-christian-nationalism monthly 0.5 2024-02-12 https://howshouldwethenthink.com/blog/pride-month-and-the-cultural-mandate monthly 0.5 2024-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/49453245-81a4-44db-83bd-f4183975270a/IMG_2741.jpeg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 1 - There is much talk this month about culture. There are agendas, evaluations, plots, critiques, and more. One particular comment from a famous Christian whom I really respect caught my eye. In this post I am going to redact his name, because I want the argument to be focused on what he said, not who he is. Lets start with his tweet: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/7e31825f-8afe-45da-adc7-6be584ad11ec/IMG_2732.PNG Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6473ee677a3c460cc574891b/e29ef712-2731-4560-8cfc-48d73c837f90/A1dbJCjKUSL.jpg Musings of a son of Issachar - Pride Month and The Cultural Mandate, Part 1 - “Building on Cicero, Westerners began to employ the word to refer to artistic, architectural, literary, and intellectual accomplishments of society. Today, among anthropologists, culture is used even more expansively, with one influential definition being the ‘more or less integrated systems of feelings, ideas, and values and their associated patterns of behavior and products shared by a group of people who organize and regulate what they feel, think, and do.’ “In line with the more expansive meaning, we define culture theologically as whatever results from God's image bearers interacting with God's good creation. As God's image bearers interact with God's creation, they cultivate the ground, harvesting goods from the natural world such as vegetables or wood; they produce artifacts from creation's raw materials, such as cloth, homes, airplanes; they ponder the relationships of cause and effect and the origins of things, forming worldviews (theism, pantheism, atheism); and they foster ways of life, which include not only belief systems but affective and evaluative grids. Thus, by culture we have in mind the ways in which humans shape their lives together. Culture includes such things as housing; the development of towns, cities, and farms; transport; wilderness areas protected through conservation; education; government; art, music, and crafts; and leisure. This notion of culture conforms with biblical teaching that the image of God is the whole person, not seated in one's intellect or will, but encompassing the cognitive, affective, and evaluative aspects of one's being and including patterns of behavior and products produced. The human person, the imager and culture maker, draws on all of who he or she is to shape culture and, in turn, is shaped by the same thing he or she helped produce. Further, in this shaping and being shaped, one interacts extensively across the entire range of nonhuman creation.
