Reform the University to Honor Charlie Kirk

Leave a Comment / Books, World News / devadmin

When the US president calls the media “Fake News,” he implies that the Post-Truth world’s best-educated and best-paid journalists are manipulators. When he says that America’s Deep State is a “Swamp,” he suggests that Ivy League universities are breeding corruption. Charlie Kirk confronted universities because he knew that although K-12 education is essential, it is insufficient to reform the USA. Charlie’s assassin seems to have grown up in a good home. It was the university that turned him into a murderer. Prof. Scott Masson of Tyndale University in Toronto summarizes the problem: “The problem that Charlie Kirk was confronting was the institutionalized wickedness of a demonically false view of language and human nature that has embedded itself in the university for at least a generation. According to the Left, words they dislike are violence (they don’t incite violence, they ARE violence), which is precisely what permits them (in their minds) to commit actual violence against their opponents. I saw Charlie Kirk as an ambassador to the radicalized university campuses. And the ambassador has been assassinated. But the enemy is not flesh and blood (though the shooter needs to be caught and brought to justice), it’s the literary theories that preclude the possibility of the sort of dialogue Charlie Kirk was trying to foster, to no small degree of success. Charlie was a martyr to the truth, and he pointed directly to Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. I’m thankful for Charlie’s courageous life and witness. May his death be the ‘turning point’ for many to follow in his Master’s footsteps.” Prof. Masson is right. In order to understand his analysis, you may need to read Gene Edward Veith’s study “Modern Fascism” (Concordia Press). . . Adolf Hitler did not build the Gas Chambers that burnt millions of innocent people. They were built and managed by university graduates—scientists, engineers, architects, chemists, doctors, administrators, police officers, military and judges! Decades before coming to power, Hitler was confident of Fascism’s victory because (he said) of the success of their theories in the universities. Veith provides ample evidence that American universities have been teaching Fascism, defined as “Active resistance to transcendence.” There is no fear of God in post-truth universities because no God has commanded, “You shall not kill.” That means, there is no inalienable “Right to life” for a preborn child or a champion of civility. Charlie Kirk was right: America needs a reformation that will replace the university’s fascist worldview with God’s truth. This morning, a pastor sent me the following text: “Vishal, My name is K. G. I pastor C. C. in B. M. (East Coast), I speak all over the country as well as pastoring the Flock at C. I have promoted your book, “The Book That Made Your World” more than any book other than SCRIPTURE over the last few years. There’s something I think you should know, that is, if you’re not already aware of it. A few years ago I became friends with young Charlie Kirk. Aware of his perspective and his sharp intellect I gave him my first copy of your book. My copy of your book was all marked up by my pen. I had underlined so many things and wrote comments. I was SO excited by your work I had written much in the columns, but that was the only one I had when Charlie and I were together. Charlie CONSUMED your book and assimilated immediately. I would continually hear it coming out of him once it entered his mind. For months after his first read he would say “The BIBLE created the soul of America!” The LORD used you to effect so many through that young man.” Watch Charlie Kirk recommend The Book That Made Your World: https://youtube.com/shorts/0h2Fci-3thM Since writing The Book That Made Your World, the Lord has raised up a team to build a global educational movement, which is developing TRUTHPEDIA. It is an online High school, university and Encyclopedia which will empower the global Church to create educational communities that provide an alternative to “demonically false views.” Truthpedia will ground wisdom, knowledge, understanding, information, and skills in the Spirit of Love, reintegrating Veritas (Truth) and Virtue (Character) in education. Please visit www.ThirdEducationRevolution.com and explore the TRUTHPEDIA proposal. Please pray and enable us to launch it in 2026. Yours for a re-formation of education Vishal & Ruth Mangalwadi

For a Renaissance of the Christian Mind

Leave a Comment / Books, Vishal / devadmin

Watch a short video review of my book: https://youtube.com/shorts/_xGsxHISBJM?feature=shared Why did Christianity fail to win India? It failed because the Western Church lost its universities to arrogant but barren Rationalism. Oxford and Cambridge had been lost before William Carey founded the Serampore mission and University in the 1800s. In the USA, the Trinitarian Christianity lost Harvard in 1805. Many British civil servants and college chaplains who came to serve India, especially after 1813, came as Unitarians. They taught Theism but rejected Christ’s divinity and turned Indian thought leaders such as Raja Rammohan Roy and Tagore away from biblical Christianity. Not long after Western Christianity began educating India, it abandoned its own universities and retreated into theological seminaries. The seminaries put God’s light into an academic silo. As a result, Western Christianity lost interest in Truth and misinterpreted the Protestant Reformation as a movement that championed “Faith Alone.” Evangelists misread 1 Timothy 2:4 as God “wants all men to be saved and go to heaven.” They ignored what Paul actually says: God “wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.” For that reason, Paul goes on to say in verse 7 that he was appointed an apostle—a teacher of truth to gentiles who believe in myth. In 1 Timothy 3:15, Paul goes further to teach that the Church was baptized with the Spirit of Truth not to tell stories but to be the “Pillar and Foundation of the truth.” The West became Post-Truth because the Church abandoned its universities. India is returning to her myths and idols because the evangelists preach “faith,” not truth. Faith enslaves. Truth liberates. That is why God wants us to believe what is true. Human beings can know the truth and bear witness to it because the God who knows has revealed truth. TRUTHPEDIA is one attempt to initiate a renaissance of the Christian mind. It will mobilize the global body of Christ to create an online Encyclopedia and university. Truthpedia will begin competing with modernist and postmodern rivals by giving away the world’s best K-12 curriculum for free. It will encourage every church to promote and support Educational co-ops for school and university-level education. It will work with the International Forum of Professors and Scholars to create an Encyclopedia dedicated to Veritas and Virtue.

Vishal Mangalwadi on Truthpedia - a new encyclopedia

HELP BUILD TRUTHPEDIA

Leave a Comment / Books, Vishal / devadmin

The TRUTH baptized His body with the Spirit of Truth (John 14: 16; 15:26; 16: 12). Therefore, the Reformers risked their lives to bring Europe’s confused and compromised church back under the Truth’s authority. Builders of the modern world including John Amos Comenius (1592-1670), urged Christians to gather all knowledge in one encyclopedia. European Church could not do that because the Thirty-Years War (1618-48) had left Protestants and Roman Catholics too weak to take up that challenge. The French Enlightenment seized the opportunity and began misleading the modern age. The American Church had the ability to build a Wisdompedia during the 19th-20th centuries. Sadly, starting in 1805, America’s Trinitarian Christianity began loosing its universities such as Harvard to Deism and Unitarianism. By the 1880s, at the height of its power, American evangelicalism began abandoning Truth and the universities, in favor of Anti-Intellectualism, Bible Institutes and a spirit of irrationality. Now, that Christianity’s centre of gravity is shifting southward to Africa, Asia and South America, it is time for the global body of Christ to come together to fill the earth with the Spirit of Wisdom as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 11: 1-9). The Third Education Revolution has set up a pilot group to construct (a) Technology Platform needed for a new Truth-based Encyclopedia and (b) mobilize International Forum For Professors and Scholars (IFPS) to research all truth, gather it on one platform and disseminate it globally. You are cordially invited to contribute your thoughts on the subject on the Encyclopedia’s landing page: https://revelationmovement.com/truthpedia/ Vishal Mangalwadi

The Father of Modern India: WILLIAM CAREY

Leave a Comment / Book Synopsis, Books, India / devadmin

No nation called “India” or “Bharat” existed when William Carey landed in Bengal in 1793. The idea of “India” fascinated European explorers such as Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama because the Latin Bible said that “India” was Persia’s eastern-most province when Esther was the queen. That is, around 482 BC. Persians and Greeks pronounced river Sindhu (now in Pakistan), as “Hindu” or “Indu.” Persians named the area around Sindhu, “Hindustan”. They branded the religious practices of the natives as “Hindu.” Hindus had no name for Hinduism, since Tantra was the state-religion in most “Hindu” states. That is why, today, many Hindus prefer to brand themselves as “Sanatani”, which is a Buddhist term. Prior to the 19th century, each “people group” (extended family, caste, sub-caste, tribe or race) in India worshipped and feared its own deities and demons. They communicated in dialects that had no literature or Scripture. Aryans came to India with a fairly well-developed language, Sanskrit. But they did not develop a script for Sanskrit. They wanted Brahmin priests to memorize the “Sacred” sounds (Mantras). Writing down sacred mantras carried the risk of making public their secret source of power. The masses needed to be kept ignorant, so that they revere the priests’ access to gods. Famous Ashoka Pillars, for example, were carved between 268 to 232 BC. Yet, none of them had a single Sanskrit inscription. The priests’s wisdom was their monopoly, not to be shared with anyone, except devoted disciples. After William Carey, his contemporaries and followers began India’s intellectual renaissance… after European Indologists started translating Hindu scriptures, some Brahmins decided to adopt a pre-existing script, Devanagari, to write down Sanskrit scriptures. It should not surprise anyone that no Brahminical Scripture described India’s geography. For the Hindu worldview looked upon the external world as Maya — illusory, deceptive. The Bible, in contrast, begins by describing Eden’s geography. Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore was the first Indian poet to describe pre-partition India’s geography as “Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha, Dravid, Utkal, Banga, Vindhya, Himachal, Yamuna Ganga . . .” His song, “Jan, Gan, Man” (1911) was adopted as our national anthem, even though it excluded Jammu and Kashmir from his geography of “India”. Tagore’s geography of India came not from the Hindu tradition but from the Postal Act of 1899, enacted by the British Parliament. The Act left out Kashmir because the British had won it from a Sikh ruler and sold it to a Hindu. It was not a part of the India that the British ruled. In short, the Bible-informed Roman Catholic explorers brought to South Asia the geographic concept of India. William Carey’s paper “The Friend of India” popularized the idea of a geo-political nation-state called India. Carey and his colleagues in Calcutta’s Fort William College gave us the vision to build a great nation — just, educated, non-fatalistic and prosperous. For example, Carey, began transforming a moon-worshipping fatalistic culture of Astrology into a moon-studying culture of Astronomy that seeks to establish human dominion over nature and demons. William Carey became the father of modern India because he launched India into the trajectory of becoming a great nation. How did he do that? To build India as a modern nation, William Carey injected the Bible into our soul — in Indian languages, literature, education, worldview, law, civil services, family and governance. To give another example, it was the Bible that taught reformers such as Keshab Chandra Sen that a Hindu should have only one wife because God created only one Eve for Adam. Friends, we need your help to promote this book, including in all South Asian languages. All you need to do is to order copies: NOTE: This is a new, enlarged edition of our earlier book on Carey. This edition is being translated into Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Malayalam and Hindi. Your support will help us start the translation also into Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi and other South Asian languages

BRITAIN’S GREATEST GIFT TO INDIA — The Bible

Leave a Comment / Books / devadmin

Dear Friends,Ruth and I will be in British Parliament on October 23 to present to the Members of Parliament the case for the Bible as “The Book that Made Your World.” This is fitting since the Bible is the greatest gift that the British gave to India.It is also a wonderful way to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation that gave us Tyndale’s English New Testament and transformed medieval nations into modern Great Britain.Thanks to men such as William Carey, Henry Martin, and Claudius Buchanan, the Bible translators turned Indian vernaculars into literary languages. With that linguistic revolution came printing, publishing, press, literature, journalism, modern education, intellectual and social awakening.Majority of the Bible translations happened in Calcutta, after 1800, in the Fort William College. Three days a week Carey helped train civil servants in that college. The Bible became the book that transformed the corrupt administration of the British East India Company into the honest “steel frame” of clean governance.The Bible taught us that India should not be divided into petty, quarrelling kingdoms such as Israel and Judah; nor united under empires such as Mogul, Maratha, Sikh or British. God desired India to be a nation, a free nation, and a great nation, ruled not by sinful men, but by laws reflecting divine justice and righteousness.It was through the Bible that we learnt that God did not want us make up our own gods or worship creation — natural or demonic. He commands us to seek Truth and worship God in spirit and in truth.The Bible brought to India that idea of human equality that is unleashing the potential of every individual. It taught us that everyone — male and female — is created with the dignity of God’s likeness. The Bible revealed to us a secret of building great nations: strong families where a man has only one wife, and fathers his children like our Father in heaven.Thanks to hardworking, Bible-driven visionaries such as William Carey, Sam Higginbottom, and Norman Borlaug, India — a land of famines — is now a land flowing with milk and honey. It is the world’s largest producer of milk and exports food and fruit.Independent India acknowledged its profound intellectual, moral, social and political debt to Great Britain when it chose to govern itself not through Rajas and Maharajas, Sultans and Badshahs, but with Westminster style Parliament.Why did British Parliament became a model for our nation?Britain’s parliamentary governance did not come from Greek democratic states such as Athens. Greek city-state did not have parliaments. The British system developed because the Bible taught that God’s kingdom is managed by Elders (Revelation 4:4 etc.).Why do citizens elect Britain’s rulers? Great Britain adopted “Popular Sovereignty” as its model because Moses commanded the liberated slaves to choose their own leaders (Deuteronomy 1: 9-18). Why does the Prime Minister have greater power than the Monarch? India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, taught us Britain’s secret. He was India’s ‘First Servant’ he said, because that is what the title “Prime Minister” literally meant. This radical political idea began when the King of kings and the Lord of lords washed the feet of his disciples. He taught them that rulers lord it over their people in cultures that do not know God. He, the Messiah, had come to inaugurate a new kingdom in which rulers will become servants: For he came not to be served but to serve and to give his life for salvation of many.British Parliament became a model for India because Christian Members of Parliament, such as William Wilberforce, made it the conscience of the nation. When he became an MP, the Parliament was a gentlemen’s club. It served the interest of the club members. MPs resisted abolishing slave trade for two decades because they were the beneficiaries of that lucrative, reprehensible, trade.British Parliament became a model for many nations because the Bible transformed it. It will be my honor to reintroduce to some of the current MPs, “The Book That Made Your World.”This important assignment needs your prayers . . . and your help.The organizers would like to give a copy of the book to MPs along with the formal invitation.Thank you,Vishal MangalwadiWe need £3,500 for the books.
