"As we delve deeper into the teachings of the New Covenant, it is important to surround ourselves with the wisdom and guidance of those who have walked this path before us. By reading the works of writers and authors who understand and align with the principles of the New Covenant, we can gain a deeper understanding of the teachings and apply them to our own lives.

By seeking out authors and writing styles that are relevant to our goals, we can gain insight and inspiration that is tailored to our unique needs and aspirations. Whether we are looking to deepen our understanding of a particular doctrine, or seeking guidance on a specific area of our spiritual journey, there is likely an author or writing style that can help us.

In addition to finding authors and writing styles that are relevant to our goals, it is important to seek out those that are easy to understand. This can be especially important for those who may be new to the teachings of the New Covenant, or for those who may struggle with complex theological concepts.

• By finding authors and writing styles that present the teachings in a clear and straightforward manner, we can ensure that we are able to fully grasp and apply the principles being taught.
  
  
• Another important aspect to consider when choosing authors and writing styles is their ability to provoke learning and inspire new perspectives.

• By reading the works of authors who challenge our preconceptions and encourage us to think critically about our faith, we can gain a deeper understanding of the teachings and develop a more nuanced perspective on the world around us.

• Finally, it is important to seek out authors and writing styles that value logic and build on themes that are approachable without going overboard. By reading the works of authors who present their ideas in a logical and clear manner, we can ensure that we are able to fully understand and apply the principles being taught.

Additionally, by choosing authors and writing styles that build on themes that are approachable and easy to understand, we can avoid getting bogged down in overly complex or abstract ideas that may be difficult to grasp.

                       In summary, when seeking out authors and writing styles within the context of the new covenant perspective, it is important to consider relevance to our goals, ease of understanding, ability to provoke learning and inspire new perspectives, logical presentation of ideas and approachable themes. It is also beneficial to consider a combination of different types of authors and writing styles as long as they align with the principles and values of the new covenant and are accurate and conclusive. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of the teachings and apply them to our own lives, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling spiritual journey.

We put this great questionnaire and academic format together on 1/15/2023. Its a review with real questions to summarize the issues we covered in our headlines.

Not intended to be real people, or reflections of real people, we are making illustrations to depict our subject matter.

"The generational Gap: Ideology of the past/advances of the future" (WIP)

I'm Shocked. A tiny bible study led me to uncover 'the effect of subversion' in nuances of complacency/apathy in modern 'christian universities' creating the 'passivism' we linked to a corporate hegemony of interests seeking sole governance over spiritual life under the title of 'Diversity and Inclusion.'

Tonight, I walked through the generational gap and how 'normalized' beliefs effected the progression of societal values in every day life and how that carried over into the dynamics of church institutions, and academics. 'Interactive worship' is actually integrative values being mixed together to change their values without the party realizing they were redefined- getting you to 'go-along'.

What is our Biblical perspective?

"Are the stereotypes about Millennials, Gen X, and Gen Z really true?"

"Why do we continue to label and stereotype people based on their generation, and what are the consequences of doing so?"

"Are the differences between Millennials, Gen X, and Gen Z really as significant as we think, or are we missing something?"

"What are the underlying factors driving the generation gap, and how can we address them to build a more inclusive and equitable society?"

"How has technology changed the way we think about the generation gap, and what impact will this have on our future?"

"What are the benefits and drawbacks of intergenerational collaboration and how can we create more opportunities for it to happen?"

"How can we bridge the generation gap in the workplace and create a more harmonious and productive environment?"

"Are the values of the younger generations, such as diversity, equity, and inclusivity, the way forward for a better society, or it is just a trend?"

Definition: The generational gap refers to the differences in beliefs, values, and behaviors between people of different generations.

Example:
Millennials, also known as Generation Y, were born between 1981 and 1996.
They are often characterized as being tech-savvy, diverse, and socially conscious.

They value work-life balance and are more likely to prioritize their own personal development and well-being.

Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, is often described as being independent, skeptical, and resourceful. They value work-life balance and have a more practical and logical approach to problem-solving.

Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is known for being digital natives, raised in an age of technology and social media. They are often described as being diverse, open-minded, and politically aware. They value individuality, and tend to be more entrepreneurial.

In summary, Millennials are known for being tech-savvy, diverse and socially conscious. Gen X for being independent, skeptical and resourceful. Gen Z for being digital natives, diverse, open-minded, and politically aware. Each generation values work-life balance, but with a different approach.

Would we see a language barrier between all three? How separate or alike are these groups?

It is possible that there may be language barriers between the different generations, as each generation may have their own unique slang, jargon, and colloquial expressions that may not be understood by the other generations. However, it's worth noting that language barriers can also be created by different cultures, regions and socio-economic backgrounds within a generation, rather than just the generation itself.

In terms of similarities and differences, each generation shares some common values, such as the desire for a good quality of life and a sense of purpose. However, they have also grown up in different cultural, economic, and technological contexts, which shape their beliefs, values, and behaviors.

For example, Millennials and Gen Z have grown up with access to the internet and social media, while Gen X did not have those same opportunities in their youth.

Overall, while there may be some differences in language and communication styles between the different generations, it's important to remember that individuals within a generation can also have a wide range of experiences, perspectives, and values.

How has these generation perspective, culture and identity shaped society, spirituality and faith in today's understanding?

Each generation's perspective, culture, and identity has shaped society in different ways.
For example, the Millennial generation are identified as being instrumental in promoting social and political issues such as LGBTQ+ rights, racial equality, and environmental sustainability.

They also tend to have a more open-minded and secular approach to spirituality and faith, with many of them identifying as spiritual but not religious.

Generation X, on the other hand, is known for its skepticism and independent thinking. They have been instrumental in shaping a more individualistic culture, where people are encouraged to think for themselves and make their own choices. They tend to have a more pragmatic and secular approach to spirituality and faith.

Generation Z, is known for being politically and socially aware, and have grown up in a more diverse society. As a result, they tend to be more accepting of different cultures and religions, and may have a more open-minded approach to spirituality and faith.

In terms of spirituality and faith, all three generations have been impacted by the cultural shift towards secularization and the decline of traditional religious institutions. However, there has been a resurgence of interest in spirituality and alternative forms of faith such as new age and eastern religions among some of the younger generations, who are more open to exploring different spiritual and faith practices.

Overall, each generation's perspective, culture, and identity has played a role in shaping society, spirituality, and faith in today's understanding. While they may have different approaches to these issues, they all share a desire for a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives.

How would character and ethics shape the discourse of how each generation have handled different life approaches, and view of family-life, civil duty and their voices are used in different outlets?

Definition:
Character and ethics play a significant role in shaping how each generation approaches different aspects of life such as family-life, civil duty, and how their voices are used in different outlets.

For example, the Millennial generation has been characterized as being highly individualistic, which has led to a greater emphasis on personal fulfillment and self-expression. This has led to a shift in traditional family structures and a more flexible approach to career and work-life balance. They tend to view civic duty in terms of social responsibility and volunteerism, and use their voices through various social media platforms to raise awareness and advocate for various causes.

Generation X, known for their independent thinking and practicality, tend to prioritize their own personal and professional goals over traditional family structures. They view civic duty in terms of being responsible citizens and good neighbors, and they use their voices through various traditional and new media outlets to share their perspectives and make their opinions known.

Generation Z, being politically and socially aware have a more open-minded approach to family-life and civil duty. They tend to be more accepting of different family structures and more inclined to be more active in their communities and civic engagement. They use their voices through social media platforms, civic organizations and other platforms to advocate for the issues they care about.

In terms of ethics, all generations tend to value honesty, integrity, and responsibility.

However, they may have different interpretations of what those values mean in practice. This can create discourse and disagreements between generations, but also open opportunities for learning, understanding and mutual respect.

It's important to note that characters and ethics are not exclusive to a certain generation and can be found in individuals across generations. However, the cultural and societal context in which a generation grows up in, can shape their perspective on these issues.

Is New Covenant an exhausted theme to make christian examples more appealing to the generation types because of grace and love, or has it been conveyed as reactive, instead of proactive?

The concept of the New Covenant, which is the idea that Christians are now under a new agreement with God based on grace and love, rather than the laws and rules of the Old Covenant, is an important theme in Christianity that can be appealing to different generation types. The New Covenant emphasizes the idea that God's love and grace are available to all people, regardless of their past actions or beliefs.

However, how the New Covenant is conveyed and presented can have a big impact on how appealing it is to different generation types. For some, the New Covenant is seen as a powerful message of hope and redemption that speaks directly to their needs and concerns. For others, it may be seen as a reactive rather than a proactive message, that only addresses the problem of sin and not the whole context of their lives.

One could state:

             "In order to make the New Covenant more appealing to different generation types, it's important for Christian leaders and communities to convey it in a way that connects with the values, concerns, and aspirations of these generations."

For example, some may conclude, by highlighting the social justice aspect of the New Covenant, how it fosters community and promotes inclusivity and love is synonymous with christian values. Additionally, by providing practical examples and opportunities for people to experience the love and grace of God in their own lives, and how it can be applied in their daily lives, can also make the New Covenant more appealing.

One could also say:

"It's also important to note that Christianity is not a monolithic faith and different denominations, congregations and communities will have different perspectives and ways of presenting the New Covenant and its relevance to the different generation types."

What do we mean, "Christianity is not a monolithic faith and different denominations..."

Could we be unveiling there is a source of conflict; There may be a common theme of division, separation on approaches to New Covenant trying to appeal to the generation types, where it may have divided itself on different fronts trying to bridge isolated aspects or disconnects in the culture?

If we define "Christianity is not a monolithic faith and different denominations, congregations, and communities will have different perspectives," on the social justice aspect of the New Covenant and its relevance to different generation types, one could point out that Christianity, like any other religion, is diverse and multifaceted."

EXAMPLE: So different denominations, congregations, and communities may have different beliefs, practices, and interpretations of scripture, which can lead to different approaches to the New Covenant.

It is possible that the different perspectives on the New Covenant and its relevance to different generation types could lead to division and separation within the Christian community?

CASE IN POINT:  "Some may prioritize personal salvation, others may focus on the social justice aspect, and others may focus on other aspects of the New Covenant.

This could lead to isolated groups with different approaches, which may make it difficult for Christianity to appeal to different generation types as a whole.

 In today's digital era, with the advancements in algorithms, machine learning, and online tools, there is a claim that "we can shift the perspective towards the church, to understand what makes something easier, unifying and positive, and how it can be used by God."

However, the root cause of the church's failure to meet the needs of different generation types with the New Covenant, is not the teachings of the New Covenant itself or its results, but rather the divided approach it takes to ministering to a diverse culture, instead of finding out how the Bible can specifically reach these isolated segments.

The church's position on matters of outside influence, has been defeated by the false reforms it has used, breaking itself in the process of trying to handle diversity in a secular perspective, with the narrative of love and acceptance. This approach of "something for everyone" doesn't translate into spiritual fervor, accountability, or strong spiritual character, but rather it is only a surface-level solution to the major problem of interconnectivity among different groups, trying to shake hands and love one another at the end of the day.

As a result, many generations have fallen away from the church, as they base their understanding of Christianity on what it represents to them, based on community and connection in the divergent influences of culture, false identities, and integrative solutions with an outside perspective.

Scriptures:

Matthew 22:37-40 - "Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Galatians 3:28 - "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

James 2:14-17 - "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

The sources I found while dissecting where subversion in christian academics at the foundation of generational advances in the politics have left us with a fractured past, and an unstable future:

"The Next Christians: How a New Generation Is Restoring the Faith"

DISCLAIMER: CDCS RESEARCH IS RESPONDING, not so much as supporting those author's viewpoints, or contents. But as we exposed who these "agents" are, we were shocked to find their connections are deeply inline with corporate bodies, state spokesman for globalist churches, and their theology. And seemed to be linked to getting actual church bodies hooked into 'cultural dependency.' 

We are resolving how these modern diversity churches are sourced as the biggest propagators of why the condition of the church is broken from a true and living revelation of The Gospel as it pertains to New Covenant.

Teaching elitism, Pre-choice salvation is a mishandled and misapplied theme and topic of scripture leading the church to "works, and legalism, spiritual pride."  
D. Pre-chosen salvation and lack of personal choice in confession of belief *Cited: John Calvin
See our description in the GLOSSARY OF TERMS.

Breaking away from God's ultimate plan of New Covenant Churches who are, by right of 'unity,' creating the divisions separating from true moves of God. Diversity and modern culture as a bridge to further the message of the Gospel can never be compatible with genuine New Covenant identity. And are, as a result of our research, "broken reforms" creating false agreements made under the context of spiritual compromise acting as the mission of the church from corporate, state sponsored hegemonies- fulfilling the prophetic nature of deceptions in the last days." We can sharply disagree with the sources, and fully commit that the message of the Scriptures are seeking to restore the damages done in the name of "New Covenant, and are not 'failing', as many claim the under the burden of meeting culture's multi-faceted response."

We see spiritual victims in deviations against the Spirit of God in the next generations who find their spokesman today as stable sources. 

# Subversion leads to apathy and complacency: a symptom of diversity. leading to unprincipled counterfeit leadership governing against 'personal choice and freewill.'

One takeaway from our discussion that is not being widely discussed in today's church is the effect of subversion of the collective spiritual elite, where we see nuances of complacency and apathy in modern 'Christian universities' that inject a fake optimism and false hope with the passivism we have now linked to a corporate hegemony of interests seeking sole governance over spiritual life under the title of 'Diversity and inclusion.'

This is particularly concerning as historically, these structures set out to 'reform' the body of Christ, but are now being infiltrated and co-opted by the very cultural forces they were meant to resist, with the result being a reunification under secular programs. This ultimately undermines the mission and message of the church and leading to a loss of authenticity and relevance.

"The body of Christ, are now inundated with the very cultural subversion of reunification under secular programs; and are now at the beck and call of establishment voices feeding into the christian circles that apathy of "trust the plan," so the church, and bystanders become reactive in a psyop to let 'higher powers' who were never elected to advocate their own terms of surrender by letting them take the fall when the situation breaks down so those same engineers of diversity can 'build it back up.' And a few elite visionaries who don't care about personal freedom are using advances in degenerated generation gaps to play this chess game on the heels of helping the poor, and morphing into a militant voice against oppressors."

Three examples that support this take-away include:

• The increasing number of Christian universities and colleges that are altering their curriculum to align with secular progressive ideology instead of traditional theology.
• The rise of social justice oriented groups within Christian denominations that prioritize political activism over traditional spiritual practices.
• The increasing number of Christian leaders and pastors who are facing backlash and criticism for speaking out against the influence of cultural subversion within their congregations and institutions.

It's important to note that these examples are not exhaustive, and that there are also examples of Christian institutions and leaders that have been successful in resisting cultural subversion and staying true to their mission and message. However, the overall trend seems to be that more and more Christian institutions and leaders are succumbing to cultural pressures, which is a concern for many.
