Transformational Marxism Knows Only the Carnal Mind and Exalts It Over
Christian Spirituality
This post needs a background on Psychologized Transformational Marxism.
The German Frankfurt School had developed an alternative to the
violent type of Marxism which the Bolsheviks used in taking over
Russia. In the process they murdered millions of Russians and Stalin
murdered millions more later. It was not that the Frankfurt School
had moral objections to murdering people in order to achieve their
objectives.. Mainly, they knew that the violent methods of traditional
Marxism would not work in the United States and Western Europe.
When the Nazis took over Germany in the early thirties, the Frankfurt
School leaders migrated to the U.S. where some of their leaders became
influential professors in our universities, especially Theodor W.
Adorno and Herbert Marcuse.
In addition, several American psychologists and psychiatrists became
allies of the Frankfurt School Transformational Marxists. Dean
Gother, the authority on Transformational Marxism and its dialectic
process deals with of these change agents, who include:
Abraham. H. Maslow, Carl R.. Rogers, Normon O. Brown, Irven Yalom,
Eric Fromm and Benjamin S. Bloom.
Dean Gotcher has online talks on these change agents, including on
Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse and Benjamin S. Bloom. See:

Benjamin S. Bloom was an educational psychologist who wrote and
supervised others in writing The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.
On Bloom's Taxonomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is said that
"Bloom's Taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential
element within the education community as evidenced in the 1981 survey
Significant writings that have influenced the curriculum: 1906-1981,
by H.G. Shane and the 1994 yearbook of the National Society for the
Study of Education."
All teachers are certified on the basis of knowledge of Bloom's
Taxonomies, including those in Christian schools.
Bloom, et al produced two main Handbooks of educational goal
taxonomies. The first was The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives:
Handbook I: Cognitive Domain, 1956. The second was Taxonomy of
Educational Objectives, Book 2: Affective Domain, 1964.
As shown from quotes and references in Bloom's Taxonomies, he was
influenced by the Transformational Marxism coming out of the German
Frankfurt School and psychologists who followed that ideology.
In their "long march through the institutions" the Transformational
Marxists thought it important to fix the American Christian church's
faith and obedience to the patriarchal authority of God. They set out
to change the church into one where the dialectic process is carried
out. This was done in part by changing the society that the church
belonged to. The 501C(3) Internal Revenue Service incorporated church
has become conformed to some extent to the society and to the
government.
Most translations of Romans 13: 1-2 translate the Greek word exousia,
Strong's Number 1849, as powers or higher powers, which many take to
mean the government of men. Exousia can mean, as Strong's says "from
1832, in the sense of ability. In other words, exousia can refer to
authority in the sense that it has ability. It can refer to the
authority of God.
Prior to the Protestant Reformation, Romans 13 was used to justify the divine right of kings to rule their subjects as they saw fit to rule
them. The 501C(3) church thinks it should obey the "higher power" of
the government, not matter what ideology that government follows or
how sinful it is.
I am quoting below below from Dean Gotcher, a preacher of
righteousness and scholar as the authority on the Transformational
Marxist dialectic process.

Dean Gotcher says "DIDACTIC PARADIGM--Right is right and wrong is
wrong, therefore chastening is justified: "If ye endure chastening,
God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father
chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are
partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had
fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence:
shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits,
and live? Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but
grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby." Hebrews 12:7-11
"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of
the Father which hath sent me." "For I have not spoken of myself; but
the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and
what I should speak." John 3:30; 12: 49
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
father, which is in heaven." "For whosoever shall do the will of my
Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and
mother." "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my father
which is in heaven." Matt.23:9; 12:50; 7:21
DIALECTICAL PARADIGM; All is gray therefore dialogue, not
chastening, is justified: "The philosopher Hegel said that truth is
found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis [right or wrong], but
in an emerging synthesis which reconciles the two [dialogue]." Martin
Luther King Jr. Strength to Love
Karl Marx: "Once the earthy family [chastening] is discovered to
be the secret of the heavenly family [chastening], the former must
itself be destroyed in theory and in practice [dialogue]." Karl Marx,
Thesis on Feuerbach #4.
Abraham Maslow: "We have to study the conditions which maximize
ought-perceptiveness." "Oughtiness is itself a fact to be
perceived." A. H. Maslow, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature. ("I
have found whenever I ran across authoritarian students that the best
thing for me to do was to break their backs immediately." Maslow,
Maslow on Management)
Carl Rogers: "Prior to therapy the person is prone to ask
himself 'What would my parents want me to do?' During the process of
therapy the individual comes to ask himself 'What does it mean to
me?'" Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming A Person.
BLOOM'S TAXONOMIES
These quotes are from the link,
http://authorityresearch.com/2006-06 Bloom's Taxonomy and Marxism.htm#Transformational_Marxists_posing_as_theologians
Dean Gotcher says "Couched in the language of "academia" they are
actually the work of Transformational Marxists, using the language of
social psychological to communicate to their agents an agenda to
destroy the sovereignty of this nation for a dream of a one world
order."
"The bottom line of these works is to remove the protestant work
ethic and true Christian belief and action from the face of the world.
For most readers this already sounds like a conspiracy agenda. They
are right. But to refuse to understand a plot against this nation
would either mean you do not care what happens to you and your loved
ones or you would rather stay ignorant, with the hope that the
ignorant win. "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are
not ignorant of his devices." 2 Corinthians 2:11
A Few Quotes From Banjamin Bloom's TAXONOMY- BOOK 2 AFFECTIVE DOMAIN:
""The superego is conceived in psychoanalysis as functioning
substantially in the same way as the conscience." p. 39"
My comment: No, Freud's superego is developed from the community, while the
conscience of the Christian is to be derived from the authority of
God, in his word.
In fact, Transformational Marxism sets out to destroy Christian
conscience, so that under this ideology there is no absolute morality.
Psychologists and psychiatrists once tended to believe that the traits
of the psychopath were genetically determined. A lack of conscience is
one of the major traits of the common psychopath. He knows no morality
that can restrain his behavior. Persistent telling of lies is another
trait of the psychopath. But now under Transformational Marxism, we
may be seeing the creation of many psychopaths by the society itself,
without much help from genetics.
It has also been proposed that too
many vaccinations given to children who are too young to handle all
those toxins and foreign substances in the body causes brain damage,
which can, for an increasing number of young people lead to drug
abuse, especially meth-amphetamine addiction. See
Vaccination and Social Violence--Harris Coulter
"The affective domain contains the forces that determine the nature of
an individual's life and ultimately the life of an entire people" p.
91"
My comment: Carl R. Rogers, allied with the Transformational Marxists
of the Frankfurt School, also taught that one's feelings are what are
important, more important that one's cognitive abilities. Psychology
knows only man's flesh, and exalts the flesh.
"But more than in traditional societies it allows the individual a
greater amount of freedom in which to achieve a Weltanschauung1" p.
166
"1Often this is too challenging a goal for the individual to achieve
on his own, and the net effect is either maladjustment or the
embracing of a philosophy of life developed by others." p. 166
"1Cf. Erich Fromm, 1941; T. W. Adorno et al., 1950" p. 166
My comment: Benjamin Bloom here gives references to two of the change
agents who influenced him in his formulation of his educational goal
taxonomies. T.W. Adorno was an important member of the Frankfurt
School, who posed as a social and personality psychologist. Eric
Fromm was a psychologist, who, along with Norman O. Brown and Herbert
Marcuse wrote books
which were the foundation of the counterculture of the sixties and
seventies. Eric Fromm write Escape From Freedom, 1941, Norman O.
Brown's influential book was Life Against Death, 1959 and Herbert
Marcuse's book for the counterculture was Eros and Civilization, 1955,
The 1950 book by Theodor W. Adorno, et al, The Authoritarian
Personality, had a strong but more indirect influence on the
counterculture. Marcuse and Adorno were important members of the
German Frankfurt School.
And in the same era, of about 1956 to 1980, the ideas of Fromm and
Adorno went into Bloom's Educational Goal Taxonomies, which had a much
wider influence upon our culture than even the counterculture had.
God Made Man A Living Soul
Genesis 2: 7-9: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul.
8. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he
put the man whom he had formed.
9. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

Satan Lured Eve Into a Dialogue And Overthrew God's Patriarchal
Authority By Use of the Dialectic.
The Carnal Mind, The Mind of the Flesh, Wars Against the Spirit of God
"For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under
sin." Romans 7: 14
"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Romans 8: 7
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace." Romans 8: 6
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God :for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned." I Corinthians 2; 14
"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot
do the things that ye would." Galatians 5:17
Another scripture is Mark 7: 20-23, which is a list of the behaviors
of the carnal mind of man, and what is meant in scripture by the flesh
can be said to be the same as that carnal mind, the human mind without
Christ in it.
"And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders, 22. Thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride,
foolishness: 23. All these evil things come from within, and defile
the man .
Christ includes covetousness, deceit and pride as thoughts and
behaviors which defile a man, that is, thoughts and behaviors of the
carnal mind, which is the fleshly mind. Pride is a work of the flesh,
just as is adultery. To covet or have a very strong desire for money,
material things, and high self-esteem is a work of the flesh, as is
the use of deception, and pride is self-esteem. The carnal or fleshly
mind is the human mind which leans to its own understanding and is not
directed by God.
I John 2: 15-17: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in
the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him. 16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is
of the world. 17. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
The moral law is spiritual as Paul says. It is a part of the Gospel
of Christ and absolutely necessary because it shows us our sin. But
the law in itself is not the solution for sin.
For Those Who Have the Spirit Within, There Is No Condemnation Because
of the Sins of the Flesh
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.. For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the
law of sin and death.3. For what the law could not do, in that it was
weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of
God, neither indeed can be. 8. So then they that are in the flesh
cannot please God.9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Romans 8: 1-3, 8-9
You MUST Be Born Again In Order To Enter the Kingdom of God
"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." I
Corinthians 15: 50 If our carnal, fleshly mind dominates us, we are
not born again and cannot be with Christ, to see him faced to face.
We are in the flesh as long as we are in this life. But God also gave
us a soul, and we can be born again in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit
so that the carnal or fleshly mind does not dominate us entirely.. If
the carnal mind comes to dominate us entirely, we cannot inherit the
kingdom of God.
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God....That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3: 3, 6
To become born again is a process, though this process can receive a
large boost all at once, and big boosts at other times in life. In
being born again we receive some of the mind of Christ in our carnal
mind, to replace it. "To whom God would make known what is the riches
of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory:" Colossians 1: 27
When we are born again in the Spirit, we do not lose all of our carnal
or fleshly mind; it has to replaced ever day with the mind of Christ.
When we are born again we receive a love of the truth (II
Thessalonians 2: 10), and having the Holy Spirit within us, he does
not lead us to sin by the carnal mind. This is what Paul is talking
about in Romans 8, that when we are led by the Spirit, we are no
longer in condemnation for sin. But being in the Spirit and having
some of the mind of Christ is something that has to be renewed quite
often for many people..
Psychologized Transformational Marxism Tries To Overthrow the
Authority of God, as "It Is Written."
If Transformational Marxism, by use of the dialectic dialogue process,
can get you into that dialogue, it can lead you to become so fixated
upon your carnal or fleshly mind that you no longer believe the moral
law. It can also lead you to believe false doctrines, so you no
longer love the truth. That is, the dialectic process can lead you
out of your faith in "it is written," the absolute truth and absolute
morality of God the Father and of Jesus Christ who is obedient to the
Father.
If the dialectic can lead you out of your faith, it does not
necessarily have to cause you to become an atheist. However,
Transformational Marxism comes out of an ideology which is atheist.
So are theories of Freud atheist, which are part of the Frankfurt
School of Transformational Marxism. American psychology is fixated
upon the carnal mind and there are no "Christian psychologists."
The dialectic church promotes group cohesiveness, so that church
members develop a relationship with the preacher and with the
congregation, which is a process making it possible for many to come
to accept the same false doctrines and a lukewarm kind of "faith."
The preacher, the congregation of the church and friends within it
with which one has a relationship, become the authority which in the
dialectic process moves
toward replacing the absolute authority of God, "it is written." And
-when "it is written" is the absolute authority, as in the present day
Remnant of Israel, then one becomes more interested in and concerned
about which Greek text and which translation is the word of God
preserved as inspired by the Holy Spirit (Psalm 12: 6-7, Psalm 119:
89, Matthew 4: 4, II Peter 1: 21, II Timothy 3: 16).
