Welcome to The Workingman's Theology, a website that has not much to do with theology but a lot to do with The Workingman.
This website really is reactionary. It is a reaction to the crap, tripe and nonsense The Workingman been reading on the internet about God the Father, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and The Comforter lately. What they are teaching nowadays is nothing like what The Workingman learned as a child and a young man, nor is it close what he believes now that he is old and has one foot in the grave.
For instance, today's theologians do not believe Jesus died on the cross to save us from the wrath of the Father's anger at our sin. They call that a "Monster God" and say that God forgives everyone and you don't have to receive Jesus to receive His salvation. They say Jesus did not have to die on the cross for God to forgive sinners.
They do not believe Jesus Christ alone is The Way to the Father, even though that is what Our Lord and Savior said. Following Mohammed or Buddha or Zoroaster is just as good as long as you are open-minded and accepting, these modern spiritual leaders proclaim. Good manners are what is important. Not offending anyone is a key tenet. But recognizing Jesus as God Incarnate is optional, and believing him to be a sacrifice for our sins is outright monstrous, they say. The Workingman finds that teaching to be wrong.
And the theologians and preachers of today are big into embracing the culture, which includes accepting homosexuality as part of God's plan for us, supporting women's right to abort their babies and believing/preaching that White people are responsible for everything wrong in the world today.
The Workingman holds theology as it is presented nowadays in disdain. This is going to be mainly a personal study of the Bible and observations thereof. The Workingman guarantees those observations are going to be of a conservative nature. Theology being an area populated by a bunch of liberal woosies on university campuses or in big churches, this website won't qualify as true theology. Thus, the word in the title is "theology," with the quotation marks.
The Workingman doesn't have much use for most theologians and preachers any longer. He thinks they need to get jobs, and that's where the workingman part of the title comes into play. This website comes at theology from the viewpoint of a workingman, which is defined as someone who works for wages in a manual labor job. That would be The Workingman, who works at a manual labor job that often is so dirty that it requires him to wash his hands BEFORE he unzips his pants to urinate, because he doesn't want to touch himself with such foul hands. The Workingman suspects that few theologians and preachers have ever been in such a position as that.
The Workingman thinks that's what Christianity today needs: Theologians and preachers who have manual labor jobs that sometimes require them to wash their hands BEFORE they can unzip their pants to pee. And yes, The Workingman is crude, but that's the kind of stuff that keeps a man humble and rooted in reality.
