The Desensitizing, Dehumanizing Effect of Evolution & Eugenics/Genetics on the Human Mind and Heart (the Cognitive and Affective Domains)!

I happened across one of the pop “science” channels and there sat this evolutionary psychologist proclaiming, in an obnoxiously atheistic and authoritative tone, that “the human animal” was never intended to be monogamous. According to this Darwinian “intellect”, an “evolving human animal seeks to be joined” (to mate) and yet the “human animal” is “an adulterer at heart”. Why are human beings “adulterers at heart”? According to this over-educated purveyor of postmodern (unsubstantiated) propaganda, human beings are nothing more than advanced primates who have little or no control of themselves or their actions. Human beings (“the human animal”), according to this Spiritually dead hack and quack, have no basis for civilized behavior, beyond, of course, that which “natural-selection” has, through mutation and chance (evolution), alloted them.

{In a little over one hundred and fifty years, these Darwinian lab-coated and pocket-protecting atheists have taken the sanctity and beauty of human life, a life created by God, and transformed it into a seething cesspool existence (“Darwin’s primordial soup”) where everything is “relative” and there is no absolute truth.}

This kind of atheistic/”scientific” propaganda has a desensitizing effect: if totally held as a belief, this “theory” will dehumanize other human beings in the minds and hearts of those believing the lie. When a person with no real substantiated evidence becomes convinced that he or she is little more than a mutated-by-chance chimpanzee, then along with their own life other people’s lives become devalued in their hearts and minds. This devaluing of human life, then, can open the door to all kinds of evil in the name of “science” and “humanity”: a “science” under the guise of “progress” (myths) that in the end harms more than benefits humanity.

Introduction

Voices haunt the pages of every book. This particular book, however, speaks for the never-born, for those whose questions have never been heard for those who never existed.

Throughout the first six decades of the twentieth century, hundreds of thousands of Americans and untold numbers of others were not permitted to continue their families by reproducing. Selected because of their ancestry, national origin, race or religion, they were forcibly sterilized, wrongly committed to mental institutions where they died in great numbers, prohibited from marrying, and sometimes even unmarried by state bureaucrats. In America, this battle to wipe out whole ethnic groups was fought not by armies with guns nor by hate sects at the margins. Rather, this pernicious white-gloved war was prosecuted by esteemed professors, elite universities, wealthy industrialists and government officials colluding in a racist, pseudoscientific movement called EUGENICS. The purpose: create a superior Nordic race.

To perpetuate the campaign, widespread academic fraud combined with almost unlimited corporate philanthropy to establish the biological rationales for persecution. Employing a hazy amalgam of guesswork, gossip, falsified information and polysyllabic academic arrogance, the eugenics movement slowly constructed a national bureaucratic and juridical infrastructure to cleanse America of its unfit. Specious intelligence tests, colloquially known as IQ tests, were invented to justify incarceration of a group labeled feebleminded. Often the so-called feebleminded were just shy, too good-natured to be taken seriously, or simply spoke the wrong language or were the wrong color. Mandatory sterilization laws were enacted in some twenty-seven states to prevent targeted individuals from reproducing more of their kind. Marriage prohibition laws proliferated throughout the country to stop race mixing. Collusive litigation was taken to the U.S. Supreme Court, which sanctified eugenics and its tactics.

The goal was to immediately sterilize fourteen million people in the United States and millions more worldwide the lower tenth and then continuously eradicate the remaining lowest tenth until only a pure Nordic super race remained. Ultimately, some 60,000 Americans were coercively sterilized and the total is probably much higher. No one knows how many marriages were thwarted by state felony statutes. Although much of the persecution was simply racism, ethnic hatred and academic elitism, EUGENICS wore the mantle of respectable science to mask its true character. (emphasis added)

via War Against the Weak – Introduction.

Eugenics, a pseudo-scientific/ideological aberration of Darwin’s half-cousin, Francis Galton, was the bastard child of Darwin’s racist tendencies and unsubstantiated hypothesis (“natural selection”). Eugenics is the “common ancestor”, the “founding father”, of today’s modern genetics (stem cell “research”, and a popular form of “selective breeding”, “designer babies”): a morally questionable at best “science” that thrives in this hedonistic country, as well as the rest of the world. Through this manipulative renaming, eugenics has merely been dressed up in a more “politically-correct”, “tolerant” and less objectionable garb (genetics); a garb that seeks to cover up the ungodly elitist hatred and bigotry, the dirty underwear, that is at the heart and soul of eugenics.

One can sprinkle flowers and perfume on cow manure in order to make it look and smell better, but if he or she gets real close and digs real deep he or she will find that it still looks and smells like bovine excrement. In the same sense, a pile of unsubstantiated hypothetical excrement by any other name still smells like “bad science”!

This kind of desensitizing and life-devaluing propaganda (evolution/eugenics/genetics) has been perpetrated on every child attending American public schools for the last three-quarters of a century or more. Is it any wonder, with this in mind then, that American public school students, over the past twenty years, have made the evening news for mass murdering felllow students and teachers in their high schools. Is it any wonder, then, that prior to the nineteenth century (before Darwin) there were no records of “serial killers” to be found anywhere in the world? Is it any wonder, then, that in America alone Darwinian-indoctrinated doctors, over the past thirty-plus-years, have “legally” (Roe v. Wade) murdered hundreds of millions of unborn babies (“abortion”)?

{Unborn children, alive in their mother’s wombs, torn apart by chemicals and surgical instruments (“aborted”), and for the sole purpose of granting an immature and promiscuous woman’s “right of choice”. A “woman’s right of choice” to escape the ultimate penalty for responding to her sexual desire like a female animal “in heat”: an “unwanted pregnancy”, a truly inconvenient truth. Why wouldn’t a “liberated” woman respond this way? After all, the feminist/lesbian/atheists, like the psychologist above, have pounded into women’s minds, during the last forty-plus years, that their bodies belong to them, and therefore, they have the “right” to do with them as they see fit, no matter how heinous the outcome. “Liberated” women have become desensitized and dehumanized to the point that their unborn children have become nothing more to them than unwanted inanimate objects: unwanted inanimate objects euphemistically referred to as “embryos” and “fetuses”. The maternal qualities that God built into women are all but gone now, and like men, women, today, are truly less than the human beings their Creator created them to be.}

Is it any wonder, then, that Hitler, seven decades ago, was able to find a “scientific rationalization” through evolution and eugenics for the mass murder of millions of people (literally) branded as “inferior races”? Is it any wonder, then, that other nations in Europe since Hitler have followed his example by seeking to “ethnically cleanse”, through mass murder, their countries of the inconvenience of “the unfit for life”?

…one of Hitler’s favorite sayings was, “POLITICS IS APPLIED BIOLOGY“. Hitler’s ideas of racial purity led to unprecedented atrocities in Europe. Since then, ethnic cleansing has occurred in Cambodia, the Balkans, Sudan, and Rwanda. In one sense, ethnic cleansing is another name for the tribal warfare and mass murder that has afflicted human society for ages, but these crimes seem to gain intensity when believed to be SCIENTIFICALLY SANCTIONED. (emphasis added)

via Social interpretations of race – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

“POLITICS IS APPLIED BIOLOGY.” In other words, since the “human animal” has evolved and is, therefore, nothing more than a mutated-by-chance ancestor of a chimp, then it is, in a political sense, expendable: “Since there is no sacredness or eternal value to life, the disposal of certain breeds of ‘the human animal’ (ethnicities, races) can be politically and socially expedient!” Note also that, according to this author, these kinds of “crimes intensify when believed to be SCIENTIFICALLY SANCTIONED”. Has there ever been a more SCIENTIFICALLY SANCTIONED (and unsubstantiated) hypothesis as “natural selection”?

When we become desensitized to the sanctity of life, then we open the door for the devaluing of our own lives and those around us; we begin the long disastrous journey toward the dehumanization of ourselves and everyone else. This perverse kind of postmodern/atheistic coercion can be rather subtle at first: the introduction of “scientific” theories, as unsubstantiated as they may be, and the use of terms and phrases (euphemisms) such as “common ancestor,” “natural selection,” “survival of the fittest,” “the human animal,” “embryos,” “zygotes,” “fetuses,” the “feeble-minded,” and the “UNFIT FOR LIFE,” can lull us into a Godless stupor where life of any kind is no longer reverenced.

Bald-faced liars didn’t start out that way: they started out with little fibs that got more and more involved, which then lead to more elaborate lies until one day they couldn’t tell the difference between the lies and reality. The loss of integrity can happen in much the same manner: a person starts with one little lie to the boss, or the pilfering of money from the safe, but after a while the lies become bolder and the theft increases until that initial small crack in integrity has turned into a Grand Canyon of lies and thievery. A “scientific theory” can begin with a flawed hypothesis and, unless corrected or thrown out, can then grow into a bald-faced lie put forth as truth; and in the end, this unsubstantiated “theory” (bald-faced lie) can end up doing more harm than it ever did good; such is the case with evolution and eugenics/genetics, whether we are willing to face the facts or not!

If we’re not careful, then, we can become like frogs in a frying pan: a frog placed in a frying pan filled with water and set at a low temperature, which is then slowly increased, will sit there totally unaware and seemingly unaffected until he is completely cooked through. In a similar manner, most people will sit quietly by while listening to and believing every unsubstantiated “scientific theory” put forth by lab-coated “geniuses” until these so-called “theories” have totally obliterated their ability to reason.

Hitler didn’t start out in the early 1930′s by suggesting the mass-murder of millions of Jews, gypsies and homosexuals. No, he started out with subtle and subliminal language (“theories” and ideologies) that would slowly but surely indoctrinate and blind the German people to the truth of what he was about to do.

In conclusion, do we really know and understand what lies at the heart and agenda of eugenics/genetic research today? Do we really know and understand why an unsubstantiated hypothesis (“natural selection”), by an emotionally and religiously confused man (Darwin), is being thrust on our children: in the public schools, by the government, and on every television channel and news program? If the “theory of evolution” is as airtight as the Darwinian lab-coats claim, then why are they so fearful of an alternative to their religious dogma: why are they so against the teaching of “intelligent design” and creationism in the public schools? Why do these Darwinian lab-coats fight so vehemently against a simple parenthetical clause in science textbooks that states, “Evolution is merely a hypothesis that many scientists disagree with.” If they’re so sure of themselves and what they believe to be true, then why are they so afraid?

{A liar doesn’t want others delving deep into his lies, nor does he want the truth exposing his lies!}

Are these politically powerful, Darwinian lab-coats so afraid of their weak hypothesis that they don’t want it scrutinized in any way? I thought good scientific practice amounted to treating any hypothesis as being false until all information contained in the hypothesis could be thoroughly substantiated through scientific scrutiny? I guess this kind of science (science seeking the truth) has either become rare or non-existent in the world today?

Those of us with children, who also have faith in the Lord, should keep them from being indoctrinated in this bald-faced and bad-science fabrication: science and knowledge are not evil, but educational indoctrination and bad science are! From the beginning of life, the education of children is not the responsibility of the ungodly state, it’s the responsibility of the parents! Education is a responsibility that, since the inception of public education, has been shirked by almost all parents, except, of course, those who have chosen to embrace their parental responsibilities by homeschooling their children.

Do we want our children to grow up believing that their ancestors were puke-eating chimpanzees? Do we want our children to value the sanctity and preciousness of created life, whether it be a kitten, robin or another child? Then we best be speaking to our children, while we still have the authority and opportunity, about the lies being perpetrated by the atheistic powers that rule this world system!

Merry Christmas, Whiners, Manipulators, Malcontents: Darwinian/Naturalist/Atheists!

These Christmas trees make me feel "excluded"! WAAAAAA!!!!!!

Here’s my Christmas gift to the few obnoxious whiners and “Jack-wagons” out there who love to try to ruin the Christmas season for the rest of us; those malcontent and malignant few who remain all throughout their lives in some form of “arrested development”! The nasty-nagging and narcissistic few (“the tail that wags the dog”) who, quite frankly, get on my last nerve!

Arrested Development:

The term “arrested development” has had multiple meanings for over 200 years. In the field of medicine, the term “arrested development” was used, in 1835-1836, to mean a stoppage of physical development, in describing the growth of multiple bladders before birth. The term continues to be used to indicate a stoppage of physical development.

However, in the UK Mental Health Act of 1983, the term “arrested development” was considered a form of mental disorder consisting of severe mental impairment, as a lack of intelligence.[1] Other researchers have objected to the notion that mental development can be “arrested” or stopped, preferring to consider the mental status as developing in other ways, rather than the notion of mental growth as arrested. Consequently, in psychological terminology, the term “arrested development” is no longer used by them in referring to a developmental disorder in mental health. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

1) Atheists and other Malcontents:

These folks want to do away with Christmas and Christmas trees. Why? Because (if you can believe any adult could be this childish/whiny and manipulative) Christmas and Christmas trees, in particular, make a few people (the 4 to 6% who are atheist, part of “the tail that wags the dog” crew) feel “excluded”! Oh boo-hoo-hoo! Speaking of arrested development, these “Jack-wagons” never heard that “life isn’t always fair,” or that “you can’t always get what you want,” or that being a spoiled-child-like-whiner is no way to go through life, or that they should just “get over it” and “grow the hell up!” Oh yes, and that they should shut the hell up, because, like the rest of us, they’re nothing special, nothing to take notice of or write home about; no matter how “self-actualized” they may be or how many times mommy and daddy told them they were prince and princesses!

"Oh Boy, a chemistry set!"

2) Materialist “Science”:

After a full century of Darwinian/naturalist/atheistic indoctrination, in particular in our public schools, a current MSNBC poll shows that “78% of Americans doubt evolution.” So, for all of the efforts of these arrested-developmentally-advocates of Darwin’s half-baked “scientific” speculation, the great plan to do away with God is evidently failing. Remember, MSNBC is a Darwinian/naturalist/atheist/far-left promoter, and thus having to put forth this news must have been difficult for the entire organization!

It amazes me that Darwinian/naturalist/atheists should be so offended (slighted) by a pagan Godless symbol such as a Christmas tree. It also amazes me that Darwinian/naturalist/atheists should be so offended by a pagan holiday, which, by the way, Christmas truly is in almost every respect. Having said this, many (not most) of us followers of the Christ, who have taken the time and energy to study and know why we believe and what we believe, understand that Christmas is based on pagan ritualism. But we also know that the first century believers chose to celebrate the birth of Christ during this Roman pagan festival, even though they knew that Jesus, the man, was born in the Spring. If the Darwinian/naturalist/atheists would spend a little more time investigating what the truth is, then they wouldn’t have need for so much whining, complaining and boo-hooing! But, alas, these ne’er-do-wells thrive on their misery. And most of us know that “misery loves company!”

Happy Misery, then, Darwinian/naturalist/atheists (You “Bah-humbuggers”)! May you all have a Miserable & Self-involved New Year full of whining, manipulating and just plain old morose malcontentedness!

Merry Christmas to the rest of us: God bless us, every one!

“Oh Tannenbaum, Oh Tannenbaum…” :)

A New-Atheist Teaching in a Catholic School: For What Purpose?


This despicable poster, which so wrongly, and disgustingly, portrays our Lord and His sacrifice, sums up the arrogant, perverse nature and outrageous ignorance of the unregenerate mind (the “new”-atheist’s mind). Because of their total inability to sense the Spiritual realm that surrounds and confounds them, new-atheists are condemned to be the slaves of their own five senses and basic instincts: they are, in reality, little more than the animals they profess (without substantial evidence) to be their distant ancestors. This, perhaps, explains why new-atheists are such a tiny minority: 2.5% worldwide and 3-9% in the USA.

As anyone who reads this blog should know by now, I am not a fan of the Catholic church or its school system. But the following Pew Forum article forces me to side with the Catholics this time.

Iowa Catholic school fires teacher after Facebook survey indicates she doesn’t believe in God

by Clark Kauffman

The Des Moines Register

A Catholic teacher from Fort Dodge has been fired because of a Facebook survey in which she said she did not believe in God.

Abby Nurre, 27, was hired last summer as an eighth- grade math teacher at St. Edmond Catholic School. In August, she responded to a Facebook members’ poll in which she was asked whether she believed in God, miracles or heaven.

In response, Nurre answered, “No.” Her answers then became part of her Facebook autobiography page, which was accessible only to her designated “friends.”

In November, Nurre posted a comment to an online discussion forum, Atheist Nexus. In her post, she provided a link to a New York Times article that, as she described it, indicated the government had spent $2.3 million on prayer research in the past 10 years.

Five weeks later, she was called to the office of Monsignor Kevin McCoy and handed a letter informing her that she was suspended for making “atheist statements in a public forum.”

McCoy barred Nurre from school grounds. A few days later, without discussing the matter with Nurre, the school’s board of directors fired her for violating a policy that prohibits employees from advocating “principles contrary to the dogmatic and moral teaching of the church.” (emphasis added)

via Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

In my opinion, this woman is merely attempting to create a story-line in which she ultimately becomes the “innocent victim of religious injustice”.

Why would any person, openly denying the existence of God, want to teach in a Catholic school system, where a religion about God is at the heart of the entire curriculum? Why wouldn’t a new-atheist, instead, want to teach in the public schools, where they already rule the entire system and more positions are available?

I can venture a pretty good guess, perhaps this woman wanted to teach at a religious school solely for political purposes: to indoctrinate her students in new-atheism and/or get fired for her ungodly beliefs and make a political stink? I believe it was for the latter reason that this new-atheist sought a teaching position in a religious school. In my estimation, and I could be wrong, this woman has simply gotten what she wanted: a chance to bring new-atheism to the forefront, and to show how she and her brothers and sisters are (in her opinion) being “discriminated against” in this society. This woman is most likely nothing more than a new-atheist “undercover-operative” seeking to stir up another “separation of church and state”/anti-religious frenzy.

{A new-atheist’s claim of there being no God is as much a statement of faith as the Christian’s belief of there being One. The new-atheists will rail on, vehemently, when faced with this more than obvious truth, but the fact remains that new-atheism is nothing more than another religion: a religion that believes and hopes in the non-existence of God and with a more than radical and fanatical faith. New-atheists have no substantial evidence to support their belief in no-god, whereas Christians have creation itself to explain and justify their belief and faith in God: the universe exists and so do we. The universe is more substantial as evidence for there being a Supernatural Creator than claiming, with the use of fairy-tales (unsubstantiated hypotheses), that the universe and human beings came about through mere chance and mutation (“The Big Bang”, “Natural Selection”): this “reasonable” and “enlightened” (faith-based) version of creation, in my estimation, verges on mental and emotional illness. As any honest scientist will verify, if any still exist, there has never been anything proven to be created out of nothing.}

The new-atheists, agnostics and pagans cry out for separation of church and state, and yet they don’t mind seeking to have the judicial system and government systematically, and covertly, remove the rights of those who believe in the Christ. The new-atheist will claim they despise all religious faiths, but, when it gets down to it, they almost always direct their attacks at the sons and daughters of the One True God.

{Warning, the following may be considered “intolerant”! The reason new-atheists attack Christianity more often than other religions is simple: the Truth of our Lord sticks in the crawl of their god, Satan, and, thus, Satan urges them to attack the sons and daughters of the Living God. Satan knows that all other religions are false, since he helped, with the aid of fallen human beings, to bring them into existence. The new-atheist, needless to say, is totally oblivious to this reality!}

The majority of people can REASON well enough to sense there is a realm beyond the physical or material, a realm where the supernatural exists and rules (evil and good). The REASON man has believed in a supernatural being and Spiritual realm, from the beginning, is due to the fact that the existence of God is evident in the creation. But evidently a small percentage of human beings are so learning disabled, so blind and deaf, they cannot truly sense what surrounds them:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE. (Romans 1)

…in whose case the god of this world has BLINDED THE MINDS of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Corinthians 4: 4)

I may be wrong about this woman’s motives, but if I am, she must be either extremely naive, confused or not too bright. Why would any new-atheist, in their right mind (if that’s a possibility), believe they could teach in a religious school system without, sooner or later, being exposed, confronted and held accountable? Perhaps this woman is at a Spiritual crossroad in her life and uncertain of what she believes? If this is the case, then let me say that I am truly sorry for jumping to a false conclusion! You know, a “false conclusion” like, “I can’t see, hear, smell or touch Him, so, therefore, there is no God.”

The fact is, this woman agreed to the terms of a contract to teach in a Catholic school, and, therefore, she is bound by that contract. She must have known that she would be held accountable for her actions outside of the classroom, just as any other contracted teacher, whether in a public, private or parochial school, knows their actions outside of the classroom can adversely affect their career longevity. This is why I believe this woman knew exactly what she was doing.

The Desensitizing, Dehumanizing Effect of Evolution & Eugenics/Genetics on the Human Mind and Heart (the Cognitive and Affective Domains)! (Follow-Up)

J. Craig Venter (Darwinian Megalomaniac) Proclaims, "It's Alive! My 'Synthetic Bacterium' is Alive! There is no God! I'm God"

This is a follow-up post to The Desensitizing & Dehumanizing Affect of Evolution & Eugenics/Genetics!.

As a former composer, I understand that taking a small segment of existing music (melody, chord progression) and using that small segment to create a new piece of music is not composition (the creation of new music), it is, instead, the “arranging” of music that already exists:

The American Federation of Musicians defines arranging as “the art of preparing and adapting an already written composition for presentation in other than its original form

via Arrangement – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Arranging, then, is different from the creation of new music (composition): musical composing is the act of creating new music. So a composer, in one sense, is a creator, whereas an “arranger” is a person who uses an existing composition to produce a “musical arrangement”.

In much the same way, then, a group of “young Frankensteins” (“genetic scientists”) can take previously created (God breathed) DNA and, with the help of a computer program, ARRANGE it in such a way as to produce, or MAKE (not create), a “synthetic” cell. This arranging of life is not creation, nor does it solve any mystery about life, since the DNA (or DNA model) used for replication, by this computer software, had already been created by the Lord, in the beginning.

On May 20th, 2010, it was announced that a bacterial cell had been “synthetically created”:

May 20, 2010

Researchers say they created a ‘synthetic cell’

by Nicholas Wade

The New York Times

The genome pioneer J. Craig Venter has taken another step in his quest to create synthetic life, by synthesizing an entire bacterial genome and using it to take over a cell.

Dr. Venter calls the result a “synthetic cell” and is presenting the research as a landmark achievement that will open the way to creating useful microbes from scratch to make products like vaccines and biofuels. At a press conference Thursday, Dr. Venter described the converted cell as “the first self-replicating species we’ve had on the planet whose parent is a computer.”

This is a philosophical advance as much as a technical advance,” he said, suggesting that the “synthetic cell” raised new questions about the nature of life

Other scientists agree that he has achieved a technical feat in synthesizing the largest piece of DNA so far… (emphasis added)

via Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Let’s look at the word “synthetic”:

1) Relating to, involving, or of the nature of synthesis.
2) Chemistry. Produced by synthesis, especially not of natural origin.

a) Not natural or genuine; artificial or contrived: “counterfeit rhetoric that flourishes when passions are synthetic” (George F. Will).
b) Prepared or made artificially

Seems to me this “materialistic scientific” zealot is jumping, as is the case with most Darwinian atheists, to a totally unsubstantiated conclusion: Venter hasn’t created anything, he’s simply taken what the Lord created and ARRANGED it into a “synthetic” form (“not natural or genuine, artificial or contrived”), and with the help of a computer program no less! I don’t believe I remember anything about the Lord needing the help of a computer program to create the entire universe.

"I'm so Alone!"

By this young Frankenstein’s use of the word “synthetic”, he has only succeeded in disqualifying his weak ARRANGEMENT of the Lord’s DNA from being considered “a creation”, according to the original meaning of the word:

Creation:

The divine act by which, according to various religious and philosophical traditions, the world was brought into existence.

When this developmentally arrested, in a philosophical, moral and ethical sense, ne’er-do-well (modern eugenics monster) creates a brand new form of life, alive and functioning, and from scratch (not ARRANGED), then he can claim there is no God, and he is the creator: by “a brand new form of life”, I mean a living cell that comes into existence through the use of something other than DNA (real or “synthetic”). Until he’s created this totally new form of life, Venter simply needs to go back to his Frankenstein lab and merely think of himself as an “ARRANGER” of the Lord’s Creation. That is if Venter doesn’t want his Creator sending a not “synthetically produced” bacterium to cause serious damage to him and his assistant (Igor: “Yes, master!”): you know, like “plagues”, the “wrath of God” stuff!

{Just kidding, the Lord is probably laughing at this overeducated twerp and his little “ARRANGED” cell. In the eyes of the only Creator, Venter is probably just another atheist mouse who is attempting to roar! Or to coin Will Shakespeare: “What fools these mortals be!”}

So, I will close with an “ARRANGEMENT” of an old country hit’s lyrics: “Mothers, don’t let your boys grow up to be Darwinian atheists!” If you do, this will be the result: lab coated socio, psychopaths!

The Lord’s Righteousness vs Man’s “Moral & Ethical Standards” II

This is a follow-up post to The Lord’s Righteousness vs Man’s “Moral & Ethical Standards”. I encourage all to read the original post first.

The Lord sums up the entire Law, given to Moses, in the following scripture:

But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together. 35 One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ 38 “This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 “The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ 40 “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22)

Imagine that, the whole of the Mosaic Law, the entire righteous requirements of God for us, can be summed up in these two, straightforward commandments: “love the Lord Your God with all your heart, mind and soul”, and “love your neighbor as you do your own self”; and in that order. How wonderful these two commandments, when we stop to consider the enormity and complexity of the entire Law given in Leviticus: according to our Lord and Savior, we only have to obey these two commandments, and the whole of our heavenly Father’s righteous Law will be fulfilled. Think of it, we have just these two commandments to live by, and yet we still struggle. This is how hopeless we are, unless, of course, our entire life belongs solely to Him!

Now that we, as Christians, have the summation of the Law of God, and from the Man Himself, we should be able to take some measure of judgment about the laws of this land; the laws of this “nation of laws”. For if the laws of this land do not ultimately, in their intent, fulfill these two commandments of our Lord, then they cannot be of God!

{Before I proceed, I want to clarify that we are to be submissive to the laws of our government, as the Word commands us, and as Christ Himself exhibited: “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22) The only time that we must resist a man-made law is when it directly breaks one of our Father’s commandments, and only when we are being forced into ungodly actions by these laws: for instance, laws such as Roe v. Wade (the abortion amendment) are simply condoned murder, and an abomination to God, but that does not, then, give us license to ALSO break God’s Laws by committing senseless and violent acts against abortion doctors and clinicians. My point in bringing up the law of man, here, is that man’s laws come from his weak sense of “morality” and “ethics”, not that we should ignore or disobey them.}

The definition of morality:

1. The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct.
2. A system of ideas of right and wrong conduct: religious morality; Christian morality.

The definition of ethics:

The science of human duty; the body of rules of duty drawn from this science; a particular system of principles and rules concerning duty, whether true or false; rules of practice in respect to a single class of human actions; as, political or social ethics; medical ethics.

Since all of the laws in this land (America) come from man’s weak sense of what is proper “moral” and “ethical” behavior, we can, then, surmise that these laws do not, in their intent, lead us to love God, nor do they, in their intent, lead us to love our neighbor as ourselves.

"Render Unto Caesar..."

Man’s “moral” and “ethical” laws are merely a system of keeping political and social control, they are not (eternal) life altering laws that create, Spiritually, a new entity, a new creation, a new man. Man’s ineffective and, quite often, unjust laws, based on his weak “moral” and “ethical” sense, merely seek to keep people under control through the threat of punishment.

Because of the innate “moral” and “ethical” weakness (devoid of the Spirit’s leading) of unregenerate and “religious” man, his laws never seem to be truly effective as a deterrent to crime; in particular, “crimes of passion”. A prime example of this is “capital punishment”: the public execution of men and women, who have committed murder, has never been an effective deterrent to the crime of murder. Also, imprisonment is not an effective deterrent either, as the rates of recidivism, in all areas of crime, will reveal:

Rikers Island

The recidivism rate in the New York City jail system is as high as 65%. The jail at Rikers Island, in New York, is making efforts to reduce this statistic by teaching horticulture to its inmates. It is shown that the inmates that go through this type of rehabilitation have significantly lower rates of recidivism.[15]

[edit] United States Nationwide

The recidivism rate for prisoners released from prison within one year is 44.1%; this number rises to 67.5% within three years of being released from prison. Sixty-seven percent of the people who were rearrested were charged with 750,000 new crimes, which include property offenses, drug offenses, public-order offenses, other offences, unknown, and over 100,000 of these crimes were violent crimes. Of the new violent crimes committed, 2,871 were murder and 2,444 were rape.[1] Male prisoners are exposed and subject to sexual and physical violence in prisons today. Each year, as many as 70% of inmates in prisons are assaulted by another inmate. When these events occur, the victim usually suffers emotionally and/or physically. Further, leading the inmate to accept these types of behaviors and value their life and the lives of others less when they are released. These dehumanizing acts combined with the learned violent behavior have much influence in the causes of recidivism.[16] (emphasis added)

Once again, the Lord commands us to abide by the laws of man, as He did Himself. My point in writing these two posts was to express how I see man’s “moral” and “ethical” sense as being devoid of God and, therefore, ineffective and unjust. With this said then, I will continue to be submissive to the laws of the land I live in, but this doesn’t mean, in any way, that I respect or sense any real value in most of them; beyond, of course, their standing in the way of anarchy and mayhem.

There is a day coming, however, and hopefully sooner than later, when the Lord will return, and then, for the very first time, we will all see True Justice and Judgment in action. A wonderful day, at the end of all days, when the phrase “life isn’t fair” will no longer be spoken; nor will it have any place in our eternal reality.

The Lord’s Righteousness vs Man’s “Moral & Ethical Standards”

I am writing this post in an attempt to purge the frustration and anger I experience as I observe the effects of man’s hypocritical “sense of morality and ethics” on those who have no EFFECTIVE worldly way of defending themselves: the common people who have no political, economic or social power to stand against the accusations (true or false) of a tyrannical “justice system”. A “justice system” based on man’s distorted and ever changing sense of “morality and ethics”, as opposed to the righteous requirements and judgments of our Lord and Savior (the Word of God).

{Note: I know the Word of God reveals that, in the last days of this age, true justice and judgment will be almost impossible to find. But that doesn’t mean that those of us who know the Lord, and are seeking His Truth, won’t be troubled by what we see and experience in these last days. Nor does it mean that we shouldn’t try to keep each other aware of the injustice that surrounds us now: the injustice of the evil one that will ultimately seek to destroy all of the children of God.}

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be SHREWD AS SERPENTS and INNOCENT AS DOVES. 17 “But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues; 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 “But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say. 20 “For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you…” (Matthew 10)

As an example of what I’m referring to here, let’s take the more-than-a-few accusations of child abuse that have been leveled against several famous individuals, over the last ten years. In each of these cases, the “accused” either purchased their way out of the situation, by “paying-off” the victim’s family with millions of dollars (“settling out of court”), or by hiring an expensive, corrupt and manipulative attorney to “get them off”. Do we suppose that these same individuals would have escaped the clutches of this paranoid and litigious society, and this less-than-impartial and ineffective judicial system, had they been a common working person: a totally unknown person (beyond family and friends) who held no political and/or economic power? I think not! I believe we, who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mind to reason, know that the famous, wealthy and powerful are favored by this “justice system”.

American "Justice"

With this in mind then, have we ever stopped to consider the difference between the righteousness of our Lord and Savior and man’s weak and hypocritical “moral and ethical standards”? Have we ever taken the time to notice how inconsistent and hypocritical are the laws of man; whether they be the laws that regulate his government, his actions (criminal laws), or his personal matters (business, consumerism, and marriage, etc.)? Why do we sense (if we can sense), down deep inside, that man’s laws, which are supposedly based on his “evolving” sense of “morality and ethics” (“right and wrong”), are so inconsistent, hypocritical and, therefore, ineffective? Could it be that man has been, and still is, basing his “moral and ethical standards” on a less than stable foundation? Could it be that man, as he has purged his governments and societies of the Lord’s Righteousness, Justice, Truth and Life, over the last three hundred years, in particular, has inadvertently thrown out his (Godly) ability to discern what is truly moral and ethical behavior with “the baby’s bath water”?

Patriotic American religionists love to misquote, or take out of context, the Word of God in order to show its support for the American way of governing, economics and doling out “justice”. But, in our Lord’s reality, these religionists haven’t a scriptural leg to stand on, since they blatantly and arrogantly ignore the Lord’s living example and commandments (the Gospels) for how we should be living our lives here and now.

{Note: why would any of us, who truly believe and seek the Lord, question the atheist/agnostic’s, and pagan’s, utter mistrust and hatred for organized “Christianity”, when their whole experience has been based, primarily, on encounters with hypocritical, money-grubbing individuals (“church-goers”) who rarely practice what they love to preach (at their convenience) to everyone else around them? These self-righteous religionists are members of the worldly “religious” entity (the nominal “church”, Christendom) that claims to represent the One True God, but their very existence appears to be solely dependent on the world system that is at war with God. The atheists/agnostics sense the hypocrisy and, with good reason, rebel against this apostate religiosity! Therefore, these outspoken and self-righteous religionists (“Presbys”, Methodists, Catholics, Pentecostals, Unitarians, etc) have, with or without understanding, become nothing more than stumbling blocks to those who don’t know the Truth: “the lost”.}

Our Lord lived an earthly life devoted to serving all of His created ones (even to the point of crucifixion) and exhibiting all aspects of His Father’s Righteousness, Justice, Love, Truth, and Life, to the world. The Lord hadn’t come, the first time, to judge or condemn the people in this world. Jesus had come, instead, to set people free from the bondage of their own separated-from-God nature, and prepare them for His second return in great power and glory. The Lord never judged anyone: except, of course, for those who used His Father as a means for political, social and economic gain (“religious” hypocrites), and then He wasn’t fearful of stripping their hypocrisy bare with His Word:

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 [“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]

…23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. 24 “You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. 26 “You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 “So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness… 33 “You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell? (Matthew 23)

"Civilized Roman Justice"?

Throughout human history, injustice has always been at the heart of, or lurking not too far behind, unregenerate (and religious) man’s “moral and ethical” sense. But the difference I see is this: ancient Rome made few pretenses in regards to their less than compassionate moral and ethical treatment of the nations they conquered. This, however, is not the case with modern societies, and, in particular, with the American “justice system”. The American “justice system” claims to be the very pinnacle of man’s “evolving” sense of “morality and ethics”, which, if we take a good look around us, should only serve to show how deluded and/or hypocritical it is.

The Roman government of Jesus’ day had an excuse that no government of man, today, could ever claim: the Roman government of Jesus’ day, with all of its pagan corruption, inequality and injustice, couldn’t discern Who the Lord was, nor His Truth, since He hadn’t as yet, at the time of His trial, allowed Himself to become the ultimate sacrifice for all of mankind and creation (via the cross). The Romans, in reality, were not much more than the ignorant and barbaric heathens they loved to conquer: they were civilized, in comparison to most of the rest of the world around them, but, in comparison to our modern form of “civilization”, they were simply immoral war mongers with some organizational skills and a gift for architecture. This Roman “civilization” is, to a great extent, what many nations, including our own, have modeled their governments and “justice systems” after.

Today’s world governments will be without ancient Rome’s excuse, when the Lord returns in great power and glory, since every government and people, today, have had the opportunity to hear and believe what our Lord and Savior accomplished, for all of His creation, on the cross.

I will complete this in a follow-up post.

Behold, to the LORD your God Belong Heaven…, the Earth and All that is in It.” (Deuteronomy 10: 14)

As I’ve listened to the ramblings of unregenerate postmodern/Darwinian/materialists, over the past few years, I have noted that their “scientific” rhetoric always seems to be in a state of perpetual change (chaos). And yet they continue to paint their pseudo-religious (atheistic) dogma, masquerading as science, as the absolute truth: “evolution is a fact”, but always changing, “global warming” has changed to “global climate change”, and then back to “global warming” again. These lovers of the environment (and self) attempt to manipulate the rest of us, through the media, the government, and our public schools and universities, into becoming “green” advocates who are always aware of our so-called “carbon footprints”. They forecast, almost constantly, short and long-term dire predictions for the environment, which can only be avoided, of course, by jumping on board their materialistic bandwagon and fighting “the system”: “the (very same) system” they operate. Ten years ago, one of their major gurus (Al Gore) predicted that, within a short period of time, New York City would have ocean water flowing through its streets. Most of these so-called “men and women of science” cannot even predict the temperature for the next two days. And yet, in spite of their blatant meteorological incompetence, we are still expected to believe they can predict what the climate will be like in ten, twenty or even one-hundred years from now.

The Spiritual blindness and ignorance of the unregenerate atheist, and their extreme willingness to be led around here and there, this way and that, by every false “scientific” hypothesis (Satanic prophecy), is, in my Spiritual sense, one of many signs that this age is coming, quickly, to an end. In particular, we can observe this type of being-led-around-by-the-intellectual-nose characteristic among the unregenerate and pagan worshipers of “Mother Earth”. These blind and naive types will accept any hypotheses put forth by materialistic “science”; whether there be any substantiating evidence or not.

{The postmodern/Darwinian type (atheist or “religious” believer) is as easily manipulated by materialistic “scientists” as a young girl is manipulated by a current “pop” star. The postmodern/Darwinian is driven by his or her need to be “cool”, to be accepted by unregenerate society as a “tolerant” (on “cool” issues: homosexuality, environmentalism, [politically-correct]) and “Mother Earth” loving person. This type of person becomes almost giddy when they hear one of their materialistic gurus spewing out some new, but always changeable, fact of “science”: it’s rather like having to watch a mindless and mediocre sit-com which never ends. But this one will end, eventually!}

These particular people are not only made up of the unregenerate atheist, but we will also find, unfortunately, the nominal Christian actively involved in this type of “scientific” lunacy as well: these “religious” folk all recycle, they wear buttons claiming to be “Green” advocates, they write their congressmen and even take part in ungodly, rebellious demonstrations. They claim to be “good stewards of the environment” and quote scripture to back up their defense.

{Here is what a “good steward” amounts to in the Word of God: “As each one has received a special gift (Spiritual), employ it in serving one another as GOOD STEWARDS of the manifold grace of God.” (1 Peter 4:10) The stewardship mentioned in the Word of God has nothing at all to do with the concerns of this temporal and decaying world! As believers, our true stewardship in the Lord is to be concerned only with the Spiritual gifts which have been given us: gifts meant to be used for an eternal Spiritual purpose.}

These part-time professors of the Word snatch one little piece of scripture, which is taken totally out of context, and then build a personalized doctrinal rationalization that denies other scriptural Truths. In this type of scriptural interpretation, these world-loving believers can, as always, do as they see fit in their own eyes, as opposed to seeking and doing what the Lord commands of them:

There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14: 12)

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6: 14)

The fact of this whole environmental matter is this (according to the Word of God): fallen man IS destroying his environment and HAS BEEN for the last six thousand years, and in much the same way as he has been destroying himself and those around him: through greed and the desire for power to control others; a desire based solely on self-survival at all cost. The destruction (the passing away) of the earth began on the day man was driven from the garden and his intimate relationship with the Creator; and it has continued to accelerate since that fateful day:

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness [?], 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3)

Therefore, man will continue to destroy his environment in much the same way he always has, no matter how hard he strives to circumvent the assured final outcome. Unregenerate man is beyond repair (as is his environment); unless, of course, he should be called to repent and accept the Lord and His Truth, and then, although his environment will be destroyed, man himself will be saved from the coming Judgment and Destruction.

But, in all of this soon-coming destruction, there is the promise and hope of our Lord’s perfect will being accomplished: “But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.” According to this scripture, our hope is not to be in this decaying and dying planet. Our hope is to be in the promise of our Lord that there will be new heavens and a new earth filled with His Righteousness, Justice, Light and Life:

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”

5 And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” (Revelation 21)

One Byproduct of an Ungodly and Delusional Mind!

The Darwinian/Naturalist atheist (or however one would describe such a lost human being) has nothing to hold on to but this dying planet and a distorted guessing-game (“materialistic science”), which he or she holds as some form of absolute, but always changing, “truth”: a worldly, corrupted “truth” with no basis at all, beyond that of its own blind and arrogant speculations. This worldly kind of “truth” only serves to keep people constantly on a virtual merry-go-round of “do this” or “don’t do that”; a “making-it-up-as-we-go” existence devoid of any of our Lord’s Truth and Life. {The sad thing is that the nominal “church”, in much the same way, keeps its confused captives jumping through the false and meaningless merry-go-round of its apostate doctrines and dogma.}

This kind of Godless and confused existence is a very sad thing to observe, but even worse is to see those who belong to our Lord, those having had the chance to discern the Truth, being yoked with the unregenerate in their confused darkness:

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see THE LIGHT of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Corinthians 4)

These apostate believers have become double-minded: they go to “church” and profess to some form of Godliness, but they have denied its Truth and Power and have turned aside, instead, to unregenerate fables and old wives tales. These “religious” folk love the world as much, or even more, as they love their Lord and Savior, but, sadly, most are totally unaware of this fact:

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 HOLDING TO A FORM OF GODLINESS, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE DENIED ITS POWER; AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE. (2 Timothy 3)

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a DOUBLE-MINDED man, unstable in all his ways. (James 1)

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. (1 John 2)

“Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him…” How much clearer can the Apostle John be here? If we’re more concerned with the interests of this temporal world than the eternal interests of the Lord, then we become like Peter, just shortly after Jesus had commended him for having received revelation (of Who Jesus truly was) from the Father:

From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You.” 23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.” (Matthew 16)

James, the earthly brother of Jesus, sternly warns us about becoming friendly with this unregenerate world:

You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. (James 4: 4)

We must remember that the Creator and owner of this planet is still in charge: “Behold, to the Lord your God belong the heaven and the high heavens, the earth and all that is in it.” The Father Himself will determine when His Son returns and the processing of His righteous judgment takes place. Our Father in heaven will decide what happens in this world and throughout the universe He created, not pompous and easily fooled mankind!

The current earth and heavens are going to pass away, and there is nothing we can do to circumvent that end. We are not here to save this world or those in it, we are here to become the corporate heavenly man (the Body of Christ) the Father desires us to become through, and for, His Son. We must not allow ourselves to be distracted by the passing fancies of the unregenerate mind, nor can we allow ourselves to be distracted by the nominal “church’s” apostate doctrines and “missions”. We must seek out the Spirit’s leading and follow, as best we can, His instructions, and then we will come to know what we must accomplish, through the Christ in us, here and now!

Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are TEMPORAL, but the things which are not seen are ETERNAL. (2 Corinthians 4)

“Strong Religious Beliefs”: America’s Version of Faith In God

The following Pew Forum article is a view of America’s “religious” politics from the perspective of the Irish secular press.

February 5, 2010

Obama keeps faith as prayer breakfast criticised

by Lara Marlowe

The Irish Times

The U.S. president, first lady, vice-president, secretary of state and a host of elected officials yesterday ignored appeals from government watchdogs, secularists and civil and gay rights movements that they boycott the National Prayer Breakfast.

Seventy-two per cent of Americans believe it is important that their president have “strong religious beliefs”, according to a 2008 survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. Participating in the National Prayer Breakfast is an easy way to demonstrate those beliefs. It has been attended by every US president since 1953. Bono, Mother Teresa and Tony Blair have all been speakers.

But the breakfast came under a barrage of criticism this year because it is organised by a secretive evangelical group called the Family, or the Fellowship, which counts several Congressmen among its members and has tentacles overseas, notably in Africa.

David Bahati, the politician who drafted the so-called “gay death Bill” or “kill the gays Bill” that would make homosexuality punishable by death in some cases in Uganda, is believed to be a member of the Family. (emphasis added)

via Religion News: Obama keeps faith as prayer breakfast criticised.

Let me say first, I could care less what Ireland, or the rest of Great Britain, believes, or thinks, about “religious” political matters in America, since they are most likely as bad off, or worse (in the eyes of God), than the good old U.S. of A.! If they think America is bad off, Spiritually, then I would encourage them to take a good, long look inside themselves: “Physician, heal thyself!”

Now that I’ve said that, America still puts forth this false, and extremely hypocritical, picture of a “God fearing” nation, which not even England does anymore. So, because of this hypocritical stance, the U.S. of A. opens itself up to look like a complete fraud, which it is, when it comes to the issue of believing and seeking God and His Christ!

For example: “Seventy-two per cent of Americans believe it is important that their president have “strong religious beliefs” What?! Then why did the 72% allow Obama to be elected, since Barack is all over the place when it comes to what he believes, Spiritually: the president is a mere child, when it comes to the matters of the Lord and His Spirit, as are most of the 72%! And then there is this quote: “Participating in the National Prayer Breakfast is AN EASY WAY to demonstrate those beliefs.” So, then, all Barack has to do is eat breakfast at a “prayer” get-together, and he’s cool with the constituency? What a sad, and apostate, “religious” joke!

Here is another issue that puzzles me, if Americans are impressed with “strong religious beliefs”, then they should love the Taliban, Bin-Laden, and Al-qaeda, since all of these “religious” people, and their radical organizations, are willing to die for their beliefs; that’s a pretty good test of a “strong religious belief”, or at least it is to me!

Here is a Truth that I can hold tightly to; our Lord and Savior is not a “religion”! Our Lord and Savior is the Way to God, the Truth of God, and the Life of God!

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; NO ONE comes to the Father but through ME. (John 14: 6)

And those who know this Truth, His chosen sons and daughters, and seek Him first, the ones who do more than attend “church” and “tithe”, have no concerns with this country, its economic system, its government, and the so-called “strong religious beliefs” of its elected, and corrupted, officials.

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8: )

“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 “For THE GENTILES (the unregenerate and pagan) EAGERLY SEEK all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6)

If “religious” Americans were really concerned about “strong religious beliefs”, then they would be more concerned with their own, and why they can so readily be led around by a corrupted government caught up in the concerns of this evil world-system! This kind of Spiritual self examination, of course, will probably never occur to them, nor ever take place:

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—UNLESS INDEED YOU FAIL THE TEST? (2 Corinthians 13: 5)

"The 'Depraved' Mind Is A Great Thing To Waste!"

Cain kills Abel (Genesis 4)

Cain kills Abel (Genesis 4)


“This Bible story of sibling jealousy and murder has puzzled scholars for centuries. From Egyptian burial tombs to the mountaintops of Iran, archaeologists investigate a tale that impacts all of humanity.”

This quote is a brief synopsis of an atheist rag (Cain and Abel: Brothers At War) which appears on the National Geographic Channel (The “Pop Science Channel”: a manipulative medium used by the few [the wealth and power hungry] to influence the many [the easily led astray]).

And just as they (unregenerate mankind) did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind… (Romans 1)

{This will not be a long post, since I don’t want to give any more credibility to this unregenerate mediocrity than I sense I must.}

The main point I wish to make is this, in their mediocre attempt to mock and discredit the Lord and His truth, the Nat Geo Darwinian-atheists have come off looking and sounding like Spiritual ignoramuses! The atheist has a legitimate excuse for their Spiritual ignorance:

Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; 8 the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has UNDERSTOOD; for if they had UNDERSTOOD it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written,

“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, NOT the spirit of the world, BUT the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot UNDERSTAND them, because THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY APPRAISED. 15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. (1 Corinthians 2)

In their unregenerate, Spiritual ignorance, the folks at Nat Geo have sought to portray Cain as a misunderstood and almost innocent victim of a judging and unmerciful God. They downplay the portion of the word which shows Cain to be a selfish and self absorbed human being, much like the unregenerate folks who produced this less than scholarly trash! In fact, they claim to understand why Cain would respond the way he did, since the Lord accepted his brother’s (Abel) sacrifice and refused his: after all, in the pathetic relativistic world of the Darwinian-atheist (a bleak, desolate world filled with darkness), there is no such thing as a good or bad anything, there’s just mediocrity, falsehood and confusion! These pathetic folk also make the claim that Cain repented from his horrible sin, but scripture proves them out to be just as their hero, Cain, a confused, “self-actualized” liar:

So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground. 4 Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering; 5 but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 “If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” 8 Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground. 11 “Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 “When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is too great to bear! 14 “Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 So the LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him. (Genesis 4)

As anyone with the Spirit and mind of Christ can discern, there is nothing of repentance in Cain’s response to his Lord, His Creator, there is only a sarcastic and defensive, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”, and concern for himself, “Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

These unregenerate folk also claim that Cain, if he existed, and did indeed kill his brother, did not understand that bludgeoning his brother with a large rock or wooden staff would cause him to die. They make up a scenario, as they so often do (to fit their biases), where Cain, in a moment of passionate anger, merely struck out at his brother without really meaning to cause any lasting, serious harm. These confused and unregenerate folks, then, go on to claim that, since it was a misunderstanding, or, at the least, an accident of passion, Hebrew law would have allowed for Cain to escape to another city until all the facts could be brought to bear.

First of all, in the Spiritual reality of this scripture, which can only be discerned by those with the Lord’s Spirit and mind, Cain carries on the fine tradition of his fallen parents: Cain resents having to worship and sacrifice to His Lord, his Creator, since he believes himself to be equal with God, and, thus, above his brother; therefore, his resentment is made known to the Lord through his attitude and the sacrifice he offers. Abel, on the other hand, loves his Lord, his Creator, and gladly seeks to serve, worship and bring a loving sacrifice to Him, which is found more than pleasing and acceptable by the Lord and Creator!

Secondly, Adam, Eve, Abel, Cain, and all other human beings alive at this time, were not “Hebrews”, nor were they under any form of covenant or God given law. Abram (Abraham), the father of the Hebrew nation and receiver of the (chosen people) covenant made with the Lord, and Moses, the one whom the Lord chose to reveal the law through, would come after the great flood: Abram and Moses were both from the lineage of Noah. Therefore, to bring up Hebrew law, when dealing with Cain slaying Abel, is to make a complete and utter historical faux pas!

In conclusion, the end of the story is this:

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS”; 20 and again, “THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS.” 21 So then let no one boast in men. (1 Corinthians 3)

"Do Not Be Yoked Together With Unbelievers" (Part II)

This is the second and last part to “Do Not Be Yoked Together With Unbelievers” (Part I)

The System of this World:

Nimrods Tower

Nimrod's Tower


The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth. (Genesis 11: 5-9)

Because of man’s continuing desire to be equal with God, which had caused the fall of man to begin with, the Lord had confounded his speech. This punishment, by the Lord, had then forced man to divide and populate the rest of the earth, which, in turn, negated his newfound and ungodly, corporate power. For the next several thousand years, this forced separation would be sufficient to keep man from becoming too powerful, collectively.

But with the advent, in the twentieth century, of mass communications (in particular, the inter-net), and advanced forms of transportation, the world has, once again, shrunk to a size that man can manage and rule. This, then, has allowed for man to, once again, assert himself, collectively, as being equal with God.

Day by day, our world becomes ever more increasingly unified, in its power, greed, corruption and hatred of God: a common language (English), incorporated nations (the European Union), a common currency (the “euro”), and, in the near future, a “one-world” government and economy. The modern-day resurrection of Babel, in its fullness, is not too far off in the future. And its leader, the modern-day version of Nimrod {translated, “rebellious”}, might have already been born: the abomination of desolation, or the anti-Christ.

An Example of Christendoms Idolatry & Friendship With the World!

An Example of Christendom's Idolatry & Friendship With the World!

What has been Christendom’s response to the ominous signs of Babel’s resurrection? Its response has been nothing less than to get on board and support the ungodly agendas of this current world system. In my estimation, Christendom is one of the main sources for Babel’s resurrection. In its ignorance of the Spirit’s leading, and its hypocrisy and friendship with the world, Christendom has fostered, among its Spiritually dead followers, a sense of belonging (loyalty), ownership (being “yoked together”), and even pride (love of mammon) in this world system.

The American institutional “church,” for the most part, is actively involved in the political and social affairs of this ungodly nation. The institutional “church,” in America, expresses pride (patriotism: loyalty) in the United States of America by acknowledging patriotic holidays, and displaying idolatrous American flags on its scripturally-incorrect, ritualistic “alters,” which exist in scripturally-incorrect, ritualistic “sanctuaries.” All of this ritualism is then hidden away in modern day versions of the Temple of God (“church” buildings), which, according to the word of God, no longer exists in the form of a building or tent: believers, according to the word of God, are individual temples of the Lord.

Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)

Once again, the Lord stated, through His Apostle, that we are not to be “yoked,” or working partners, with those caught up in this world and its system. And yet, over and over again, I observe institutionalized believers, and their photo-op-seeking “church” leaders, taking part in and even embracing the worldly (Godless) agendas of this postmodern (atheistic/agnostic/relativistic) government, its corrupt and hedonistic society, and the power-mad capitalists who rule it.

Here are just a few examples of the institutionalized “church’s” (Christendom) friendship with, and support for, the American version of this world-system:

1) Michael Jackson died last week, and some of the first to get on board this photo-op gravy-train were two “reverends,” Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

They weren’t alone! Many “churches,” in the city where I live, celebrated Michael Jackson’s life on Sunday, as opposed to, as they claim, worshiping the Lord and seeking His will. Many of these same people, over four years ago, were crying for Jackson’s blood, when he was accused, for the second time, of child molestation.

Michael Jackson was most certainly a member in good standing, for the most part, with this world system. Jackson made millions upon millions of dollars for himself and the power brokers, in this country and the world. This, above all else, including his personal failures, secured his right-standing in this Godless, depraved world of the enemy. Jackson also paid millions upon millions of dollars to hire lawyers and pay off the families who were accusing him.

Jackson’s adult life was self glorifying and devoid of anything resembling the ways of our Lord. His “spiritual” adviser was new-age guru (“blind guide”), Deepak Chopra. Michael Jackson hadn’t turned to so-called “men of God,” like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. He had, instead, turned to the new age deniers of God and His Christ, like Chopra! So why, then, would so many institutional “churches,” and their leaders, be mourning and praising this deceased man who was so ungodly, corrupt and superstitious?

{Since I started writing these two posts, almost two weeks ago, I have seen more national news coverage on the death of Michael Jackson, then there had been for the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy. Al Sharpton spoke of Jackson as though he had been Martin Luther King incarnate. The same news teams, who had sought to portray Jackson as a pedophile, four years earlier (even after his vindication), were, over the past two weeks, almost emotional and reverent in their remarks about him. To be honest, I have found all of this to be totally disgusting, even though I know that it fits, quite nicely, into the Lord’s view of this corrupt and hedonistic world, and its unregenerate (or apostate and hypocritical) worshipers!}

2) In another example of Christendom’s friendship with the world, news articles, over the last six months, have shown an alarming trend with institutional (flag waving) “church” goers. In a Pew Forum article, it was revealed that more American “Christians” (I use this designation loosely) were in favor of the torturing of prisoners, at Abu Ghraib, than were their atheist and agnostic counterparts. Can it truly be that “church” going “believers,” in Christ, are more in favor of torturing people than unbelievers and haters of God?

What is wrong with this picture?

There are many, many more examples, such as the institutional “church’s” support for Bush and Cheney’s war in Iraq, and support, by certain denominations (Episcopalian, homosexual ministers, for instance), for “gay” marriage. But, if I were to write on these other issues, I would never finish this post.

The sad fact is, if any of us are attending an institutional “church” of Christendom, then we are partaking of an ungodly and apostate friendship with this world system. And, in doing so, we are also denying the truth and sovereignty of our Lord and His word. We are, whether we’re aware of it or not, being yoked together with unbelievers.

Here is what our Lord and Savior (the last Judge) has to say to the modern day institutional “church” (Christendom), and those who remain, BY CHOICE, in its Spiritual deadness and apostasy:


‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. ‘So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit (spew or vomit) you out of My mouth. ‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. ‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone (the individual) hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. ‘He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” (Revelation 15-22)
