I am currently working on logo, store front, and a few other things currently. Below is examples of what the blog will be like. I am hoping to have this done by end of July or Mid August.
The Cowardliness of the Supreme Court
Attention Theban Legion, news from the glorious Roman Capital. Sadly it’s not great news, I have been informed that our courts are nothing but cowards and corrupt. They are refusing to protect roman citizen property rights, all why pretending they are so virtuously protecting the people from evil landlords. These cowards of the court decided that because of the recent wars that those who owned the property could not charge agreed upon rent from those living in them. This decision is causing an uproar for many landlords. From a reliable source I can say that many of the smaller landlords are starting to debate whether it worth bankrupting on the loans and just selling the properties to merchant guilds.
Bible Verse and Roman Fact
Proverbs 17:15 “He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.”
The Rise of Conservative Populist
Ahh yes the sounds of the populist being angered at the great elites… I remember the era of Publius Clodius Pulcher. It was a crazy time for the Roman People, and I hear rumors that now even the United States is starting to have a populist rising.
The Theban has word’s of wisdom for the great Theban Legion. That populism can lead to some crazy times, and be co-opted by dangerous men and women. That does not mean that it is destined to happen though. Populism isn’t inherently evil and the people in these movements have real grievances which the government must address, or risk the damage that comes from ignores ones people.
As the Theban Legion we support these populist. They have many valid reasons to want change. The elites have outsourced, destroyed wages, and hurt all people of all creeds, races, and culture. The elites are crushing the dreams of everyday Americans, and then pretend these people are the problem. The same issues happened in Rome and it lead to an emperor. I implore the populist do not give into the temptation of giving power to one man to destroy your enemy, for surely you will become the enemy of the emperor one day. Instead of giving into that temptation let us run people who understand the plight, and fight the good fight until the very end and win the battle. The American Dream is not dead, and nor are we powerless against those who wish to destroy us.
Roman Fact and Bible Verse of the Blog
Jeremiah 51:46 “46 Let not your heart faint, and be not fearful at the report heard in the land, when a report comes in one year and afterward a report in another year, and violence is in the land, and ruler is against ruler.” Roman Soldiers “During battle, a Roman soldier or ‘legionary’ first hurled his spear at the enemy, then he fought him with his sword. To protect himself, he carried a wooden shield and wore a metal helmet and armour.”
First Blog, about the blog
Who is the Theban General?
Hello, everyone it is great to meet you! I am the Theban, The General of the Theban Legion. I want to start out by telling you what makes the Theban Legion amazing, and that is you. You are what makes up the Theban Legion, and in roman terms you are the cohorts, the ordinary men and women who make up this grand legion. However the Theban never misses a chance to talk about well me of course! I have many different interest from gaming, politics, Christian apologetic, theology, biblical history, and Roman History.
What is The Theban HQ?
With the introductions out of the way, let me explain what the Theban Legion HQ is all about. The Theban HQ is about giving answers to real problems, addressing culture, and attempting to show the love of God and Jesus as we talk politics, games, food, culture, and anything else.
What will be talked about?
I will mostly focus on the USA, but I will also talk about international events as well. The goal of the Theban blog is to be humorous. It will be written as though a Roman General is looking at America and making commentary on it. Thus the persona of Theban, as the Theban I will be providing important information and potential solutions to the issue at hand. The sections on the website will also be broken into other parts for more advance topics or something not suited for a blog.
Bible Verse and Roman Fact of the Day
When I finish a blog I will leave you with a verse of the day and a roman fact of the day. Without further ado 1 John 2:5-6 “5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” (ESV)
