[Greek] κόσμος (kosmos), [Latin] cosmos

[Greek] κόσμος (kosmos), [Latin] cosmos: order, arrangement, world, cosmos, structure, adornment, unity, over 150 scriptures

The Conciliar/Synodal Church continues to accommodate the world and man. This Synodal Church is now also dabbling in ecological paganism, ecological spirituality, assigning divine qualities to the environment, ecological sins, pantheism, and panentheism.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THERE COULD NOW BE SOME ELEMENT OF TRUTH IN THIS PICTURE. GO FIGURE!

Background information:

Greek Hellenism: This term means world, universe, worldly affairs, adornment, and inhabitants of the world.

1. The world can be viewed in a spatial and temporal sense.
2. This term conveys the meanings of order, unity, adornment, and understanding of the cosmos and world.
3. Order infers unity between the totality and its parts.
4. The cosmic worldview entails the world, heaven, and universe.
5. The world can also be viewed in the sense of the inhabited world (individuals and the totality of humanity).
6. Satan is the ruler (prince) of this world. (Eph.2:2)
7. Satan is the god of this age. (2Cor.4:4)

Old Testament: This term means host of heaven, adornment, heaven, and earth.

New Testament: This term means universe, earth, world, system, people, adornment, tremendous amount, and enormous power.

Mt.4:8: “Then the devil took Him up to a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence.” (Satan is the ruler (prince) of the world. Satan offered to give Jesus these kingdoms if He would worship him. Satan offered Him the wealth, splendor, prestige, and the power that the earthly kingdoms promised.)

Mt.18:7: “Woe to the world because of the things that cause sin. Such things must come, but woe to the one whom they come!”

1. Jesus warns against those who cause the little ones (children and humble believers) to sin.
2. It would be better to be drowned at sea with a great millstone around one’s neck than to cause these little ones to sin.
3. Those causing these little ones to sin will entail far greater divine judgment and punishment than one who drowns.
4. Those who are entrusted with influence (like teachers and leaders) bear serious responsibility for their words and conduct.
5. Jesus does not minimize the consequences of sin that corrupts and destroys another’s faith.
6. These such things are called skandalon (scandal).
7. This make reference to removing body parts (eyes, hands, feet) which cause this sin.

Jn.8:11-12: “Neither do I condemn you. Go [and] from now on do NOT sin any more…I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will NOT walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Jesus does not condemn but forgives the adulterous woman. Jesus’ forgiveness is NOT a license to continue in sin but to a call in a new way of life. Following Jesus involves faith, obedience, and a continued submission to His teaching. Darkness in life apart from God is marked by sin, spiritual blindness, and alienation from the Truth.)

Jn.9:39: “Jesus said, ‘I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind.'” (Jesus just healed a blind man. But this blind man also received spiritual sight when He believed and worshipped Jesus. The Pharisees’ claimed sight but became spiritually blinded when they rejected Jesus. The Pharisees, possessing confidence of their own knowledge and pride, becomes spiritually blinded. They are unable to see the light of Christ.)

Eph.2:1-2: “You were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you followed the age of the world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the disobedient.”

1. Adam’s and Eve’s disobedience brought sin and death in the human race.
2. Ephesus was a prominent pagan city of occult worship, practices, wealth, and moral corruption.
3. It reflected humanity’s disobedience against God, elevating self, power, pleasure and created things rather than about God. Satan exercises real but limited power in this world (age).
4. This is a spiritual and moral battle. Christians are called to upon to put on armor to defend themselves in this battle.
5. Apart from Christ, people are spiritually blind, governed by sinful desires.
6. The Holy Spirit works in believers in fighting this battle.

Col. 2:8: “See to it that no one captivates you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to human tradition, according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ.”

1. Paul warns others to be vigilant against false teaching and spiritual assaults against the gospel message.
2. He warns against belief systems of human traditions, speculation, religious practices.
3. These customs become dangerous when they detract from Christ and the gospel message.
4. The world’s fallen order is influenced by demonic, elementary, worldly and secular values.
5. Christ becomes the decisive standard for truth.

Gal:4:3: “In the same way we also, when were not of age, were enslaved to the elemental powers of the world.”

1. Like little children, the Gentiles lived in spiritual immaturity, separated from God’s covenant.
2. Neither the Mosaic Law nor paganism could free the people from sin, guilt and death.
3. These elementary principles, religious systems, and spiritual powers held both Jews and Gentiles in bondage.
4. The Jews were held bound to the laws of old covenant.
5. The Gentiles were held bound by idolatry, false worship, empty practices, and demonic deception.

Being seduced and enslaved to the elemental powers of the world:

1. Modernism starts from agnosticism. The external supernatural realities of God is unknowable.
2. Divine immanence: one’s religious sentiment and perception of God is REDUCED AND CONFINDED TO ONE’S HUMAN REASON AND THE VISIBLE WORLD.
3. One’s subjective religious sentiment and perception of God becomes flattened into the natural world.
4. This immanent nature of God presumes that the distinct boundary between God (the Creator) and creation (what is created) becomes blurred and erased.
5. This inevitably lead to creation becoming indistinct from God. The environment attains the attributes of God.
6. The Vatican is now heading into the direction of ecological worship, ecological sins, pantheism, panentheism, ecological spirituality, nature worship, and social sin.
7. Pantheism: the philosophical and religious belief that the universe (and everything in it) are identical to God.
8. Panentheism: the philosophical and religious belief that the divine (God) permeates every part of the universe but also extends beyond and transcends it.

Etymology: From the Greek adjective comes the word cosmetic, meaning skilled in adornment or arrangement. This term was first coined in the 1640’s. So it is not really difficult to see how cosmos can lead to cosmetics.

Conclusion:

Cosmos, cosmological, cosmetics

Greek Hellenism: It is was interesting to discover the various ranges of meanings like adornment and orderliness. These meanings can involve discipline, good behavior, fashion, and cosmetics (beautiful adornment). The Greeks viewed the cosmos as beautifully arranged, adorned, and ordered.

Old Testament: this term already has a theological sense, meaning adornments and heaven. It is significant to note that the Old Testament culture (and Judaism) later incorporate the Hellenistic understanding of the world. This will later become more significant as Jesus repeatedly makes references to the world in contrast to His heavenly kingdom.

Update: A Synodal Church accommodating the world: The Synodal Church is more focused on MAKING A BETTER WORLD/SEEKING FAVOR WITH THE WORLD rather than on bringing souls into heaven.  

New Conciliar/Synodal ecological spiritual response to healing modern society’s malaise: to get right with the environment. You can’t makes this up. Sadly, there is no mention of sin, morality, Church teachings, sin, conversion, and forgiveness.

Synodality has become a seductive philosophy according to human tradition: Celebrating lived experiences and asking the people what they want in the Church.

Synodality becoming an IDOL: Lived experiences (tolerance and inclusion) often TAKE PRECEDENCE over Church teachings, doctrine, morality, and sin.

The Conciliar/Synodal Church is more focused on lived experiences, politics, immigration, social justice, environment, and human affairs rather than spiritual matters (doctrine, Church teachings, morality, sin, scripture, conversion/forgiveness.

The German bishops are only too happy to criticize the “far right” afD. Yet the American bishops are often hesitant to criticize the abortion policies of the Democrats and Democratic Socialists.

Pope Leo has recently appointed a bishop who participated in a Panchamama idol service in Peru. An earthquake surely followed. God will not be mocked.

Novus Order Mass: Quite frequently pagan idols, cultural (indigenous) dancing, and priestly sacrilege often seeking to undermine the sacredness of the Mass.

Many of us already acting like pagans bowing down to our electronic devices and technology. There is now an actual medical conditional called “tech neck” neck and shoulder strain.

The Conciliar/Synodal Church has lost the plot about remaining temporary earthly sojourners and citizens of heaven: [1Pet.2:11, Php.3:20, Eph.2:19] (The Church looks more like a United Nations NGO rather than the Church that Jesus established.)

Satan seeks to captivate and entice with worldliness, fame, wealth, likes, indulgences, and sin, spiritual dryness. Satan does not need to fully possess us. SATAN ONLY NEEDS TO MAKE US FORGET ABOUT GOD!

Being seduced to the elemental powers of the world: The Vatican is now dabbling into ecological worship, ecological spirituality, equating creation with God, pantheism, ecological conversion, care for our common home, eco-paganism.

Failing to follow Jesus’ command to SIN NO MORE: 

1. The Vatican’s LGBTQ “outreach” continues to be an important “pastoral” activity.  
2. Synodal Study groups and pontifical commission state that homosexuality (sodomy) is no longer sinful.
3. Pope Leo appoints bishop attending Panchamama idol services and who believe that homosexuality is no longer sinful.
4. Pope Leo believes that there should be less focus on personal sexual. Instead, we need to focus on social sin. This perfectly ties with the Vatican’s efforts to normalize homosexuality.
5. Pope Leo: “We need to change attitudes first in order to change doctrine.”  Pope Leo is open to changing doctrine!
6. Evidently there continues to be no mention or focus on Jesus’ command to “SIN NO MORE.

Synodal spiritual blindness and hard-heartedness: 

1. Hard-heartedness: The Synodal bishops’ Modernist/Synodalist ideology TAKES PRECEDENCE over the laity’s desire to celebrate the TLM.
2. Spiritual blindness: The Synodal bishops continue to implement Traditiones Custodes in opposition against the Holy Spirit inspired movement in the Church toward Tradition and the TLM.
3. Acts 5:38-39: If this activity comes from God, you will not be able to destroy it. Aside from Traditiones Custodes, the synodal bishops will not be able to stop this Holy Spirit inspired movement. 

Woe to the Synodal Church! Many have said that with Fiducia Supplicans, the Church has reached its “millstone moment”. “Blessing same-sex unions” is essentially blessing evil and blessing undermining God’s original plans for marriage and procreation. This is an example of  how being “pastoral” can become evil.

Many people and the Synodal Church have seemingly forgotten that Satan is the ruler (prince) of the world

Satan can also “inspire” both clergy and laity to ignore and undermine God’s laws, Church teachings and doctrine. 

Cardinal Sarah: Practical atheism has creeped into the Church: rejection of traditional liturgy, rejection of morals, doctrinal and liturgical confusion and ambiguity, rejection of God, paying lip service to God and Church teachings, questionable ecumenism, lived experiences, pushing God to the side, more focus on humanity

Cardinal Sarah: Paganism has infiltrated the Church: God is no longer first, liturgy reduced to entertainment, situational morality, Synodal Church accommodating the world(culture), blurring of sin, minimizing supernatural realities, pantheism, panentheism, ecological theology, accompaniment is favored or conversion, watered-down teachings

“The devil is capable of confusing the most brilliant mind.” St. Padre Pio

“The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility.” St. Vincent de Paul

“Modern times are dominated by Satan and will be more so in the future.” St. Maximillian Kolbe
