The Dynamic Principle in Sociology states: All
political and economic models break down due to competing interests and ideas.
Academic models are based on stability or at least temporary equilibriums which
do not exist in the reality of any given moment. Real world forces and
contingencies always exert pressure and never allow any political or economic
models to function in the sterile environment of the ivory tower. Sociological
fundamentalisms are based on subjective frameworks both in terms of ideology
and context and are therefore de facto
invalid and unworkable.
From a Christian
standpoint we might relate this phenomenon to Babel, the Fall of man and his
depravity. Christian Worldview teaching attempts to create redeemed and thus idealised
redemptive frameworks that operate outside this tendency. They neither
represent a Scriptural hermeneutic, epistemology or eschatological expectation.
Transformationalist attempts within a Dominionist framework fall prey to these
same forces which demonstrate man's finitude and inability to repair the curse.
To put it simply, all
systems fail, all models fall apart. Christian so-called solutions prove to be
more of the same and are thus rightly identified as sub-Christian and
unbiblical. A permanent state of social fluidity and instability are the
expected norm. Amidst these wars and rumours of wars we are to live in a state
of antithesis as a pilgrim-sojourner people bearing witness to the Truth.
Because of this
Biblical principle, all social expectations are severely tempered if not
eliminated and all social endeavors are rendered of little value, potentially
dangerous temptations, and exercises in frustration and vain futility. We
rightly glorify God in pointing to the transcendent, bearing witness to the
Eternal Kingdom and warning of the Eschaton and its implications. It is only in
the New Heavens and New Earth that this principle will be eliminated by the
same fires which remove all aspects and traces of the curse.
