A short introduction on what the Pactum Institute is all about: https://rumble.com/vju9tf-pactum-institute-introduction.html

Herewith our latest press release:
"[T]hese procedures are evidence that the European Commission fundamentally misunderstands the nature of education, which it wrongly regards as the primary responsibility of a central international government (in this particular case Brussels), as opposed to the responsibility of the family. In this regard, this action of the European Commission fundamentally violates the principle of subsidiarity formally enshrined in Article 5(3) of the Treaty on European Union (also known as the Maastricht Treaty) and should therefore be rejected as illegal." https://www.pactuminstitute.com/press-releases/children-s-right-to-christian-education-is-threatened-by-the-european-commission

In our first podcast, Dr. Schlebusch and Rev. McAtee discuss the role of theological and philosophical presuppositions as well as worldviews in shaping the theoretical framework for scientific investigation: https://www.pactuminstitute.com/podcasts/pactum-podcast-20211-science-and-worldview

“A denial of the sovereignty of God in favor of the sovereignty of mankind, … a rationalist religion wrongly elevating man-made abstractions as truths supreme over the revelation of God … amount[s] to an anti-Christian infringement upon the natural rights, established socio-political relationships, and justice system rooted in a divinely-ordained social order … [It is] a path doomed to social disaster and political tyranny.”
From Dr. Adi Schlebusch’s 2020 publication, “Democrat or Traditionalist? The Epistemology behind Groen van Prinsterer’s Notion of Political Authority,” Journal for Christian Scholarship 56(3-4), p. 121.

The Pactum Institute has just launched its new and exciting Research Assistance project:

If you or a family member are doing a research project for school, for university, for work or even for private purposes, we are here to help provide you with assistance in terms of the resources you need to counter Leftist views through rigorous scholarship. Our experienced scholars will provide you with the relevant information, sources, literature, as well as proofreading and editing services to ensure not only the academic integrity of your project (relevant to its desired level), but also that your project reflects a thoroughly Christian worldview.

"Rushdoony explicitly systematised the intrinsic connection between postmillennialism and theonomy—the idea that Biblical Law should be the normative foundation for all politics and legislation. For Rushdoony ... the gospel conquering the world meant that every facet of human existence is to be brought under the Lordship of Christ ... His call to exercise dominion for Christ on a socio-political level is therefore rooted in a Christian worldview that is both historically and eschatologically driven."

"The sure knowledge that General Lee himself is in no way affected by this atrocity by virtue of currently enjoying the riches and glories of eternal salvation, gives us great comfort. We also take comfort in the knowledge that Christ will be victorious and conquer all his enemies, including those who are responsible for this most disgraceful act.
In the meantime, the Pactum Institute strongly suggests secession or at least increased regional and local autonomy as a means of maintaining the peace between ourselves and our enemies so that we can each develop our fundamentally incompatible cultures within our own respective communities and countries."

"For Groen van Prinsterer, the idea of neutrality is a myth. He writes in 1862 that:

'People apparently desire to neutralize the state, but in practice the state is surrendered to wholly non-neutral influences. If the Christian principle is not prevalent in our political life, then the anti-Christian principle will target everything that remains dear and sacred to our Christian nation.'

This also applies to education, and he considered the idea of a neutral education to be a practical impossibility. If children aren’t thoroughly provided with a Christian education, they will be indoctrinated by means of an anti-Christian one.

The education of a child in the ways of the Lord, Groen argues, 'might seem like an insignificant act in the eyes of the world,' but in doing so one instills in that child a 'faith that conquers the world [and] to conquer the world it is necessary to demolish every argument and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive in obedience to Christ'."

Our latest press statement:

"In addition to demanding that all governments cease implementing such mandates, the Pactum Institute calls upon all God-fearing lesser magistrates—governors, sheriffs, councilmen, representatives, community and family leaders and other office holders—to use their God-given authority to resist these diabolic measures from governments in those areas, spheres and realms where they legitimately govern."

"As ... the Reformed philosopher Gordon Clark observes, the traducian understanding of original sin is also taught by Christ in John 3:6, when Christ speaks of Nicodemus’s unregenerate soul as born of his parents. Clark notes that the Greek noun sarx (i.e. “flesh”) in relation to gennao (the Greek word for “birth”) clearly conveys this idea of a depraved soul in distinction from the corporeal body, which means that the propagation of the human species is not only corporeal, but spiritual and mental also."
