To Obey or Disobey, That is the Question.

     With the recent activity by Catholics and Evangelicals (Christians) across the nation joining in opposition to the HHS ("contraceptive") mandate and the U.S. government deciding it is prudent to "poke the bear", so to speak, by treading on our rights to freedom of religion, and freedom of conscience, I thought it would be educational to cover the subject from a spiritual standpoint and in the context of Romans 13 in the bible.  From here on I will be referring to this group of Evangelicals and Catholics as "Christians" for ease of discussion.

 We'll start by quoting The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans, Chapter 13, Verses 1-7 which states:

     "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.  For there is no power but of God:  the powers that be are ordained of God.  Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the Ordinance of God:  and they who resist shall receive to themselves damnation.  For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil.  Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:  For he is the minister of God to you for good.  But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain:  for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him who does evil.  Wherefore you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.  For for this cause pay ye tribute also:  for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.  Render therefore to all their dues:  tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to who custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."

     Let me begin by stating that God has ordained the institution of "government" as the power Paul is speaking of here, not any particular human being.  Government was ordained of God in order to afford protection of the God given rights of every individual.  The absence of government would bring anarchy (which is not of God) and a de-regulation of human affairs which cannot be tolerated in society.
     Governments institute laws and constitutions in order to regulate the activities of their citizens as well as the activities of the authority.  Whenever these laws and constitutions are followed by both parties, society functions as it was "ordained" to function. 
     As Christians, we are to obey the laws of the land we live in or "receive damnation".  The damnation spoken of here is not "eternal damnation from God", but damnation from the society we live in.  The Apostle is also making an assumption that the laws will be fair and just, and that since they are ordained by God, they will be laws that Christians won't have a problem obeying.

     What are "Christian" laws?  The Old Testament Decalogue (the ten commandments) was just a starting point and was the basic foundation for Judeo-Christian regulation.  Israel was eventually under the regulation of over 600 laws, the breaking of any one law resulting in the death of some poor animal as a blood sacrifice for sin.  It was immediately apparent that the "law" could only be followed by supernatural means, hence the coming of Christ, who fulfilled the law by being the perfect human example.
     The laws of Christ are still based on the ten commandments (with the exception of the sabbath - which I will not get into in this post) but are actually tougher because Christ looks at the heart, and not merely at the obedience of a law.   For example instead of a commandment that says "thou shalt not murder", Christ says that if you think of killing someone, you have committed murder in your heart.  If you look at a woman with lust you have committed adultery in your heart.  Its a HEART thing, and that begins with CONSCIENCE.
 
     When you are "born again", you are regenerated (read re-gene'd), and your heart is not the same as it was before.  Your conscience won't let you get away with thinking about doing something wrong without bringing a "conviction" which forces you to ask God for forgiveness and help.  So when you think about it, a Christian believer is held to a much higher standard of thought and action than others are.  Because of this, the thought of abortion, homosexuality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, envy, murder, deceit, malignity, hate, pride, evil, etc.. is abhorrent to a Christian.  The thought of being forced to obey a law that supports or propagates any of these things is even more abhorrent to the Christian conscience.

     So what happens when a Government issues laws that conflict with Christian conscience?  Do we still have to obey that law or that government?  The same "conviction" that tells me when I am doing or thinking something wrong also tells me that when having to make a choice to disobey God or to disobey man, the choice is always to disobey man if what he wants is contrary to God..
     As Christians, we are to obey our government in all things which are not CONTRARY to God's laws.  Acts 5:28-29 gives us an example of how to react when being told to do something against our Christian conscience;  In response to the High Priests order to not preach in the name of Christ, the Apostles replied "We ought to obey God rather than men".  They were consistently taken to prison and beaten for their choice, but they were "counted worthy to suffer shame for his Name".
    
     The issue we face today is quite similar and we have the added dimension of a government that has been overtly trying to subvert a constitution that they have (ironically) sworn to God to protect and defend!  What more do we need?  If that does not justify disobedience, then I don't know what does.
     Now, The Epistle to the Romans was written during the times of some pretty tyrannical rulers like Claudius, Caligula, and Nero, who spent a fair amount of time mercilessly persecuting Christians and the Apostle Paul still held to the dictate that their laws should be obeyed.  But we need to understand that Paul used to be one of those persecutors, and he was giving advise to a flock he was trying to protect from torture and death, his answer was to remove the flock from the situation and keep out of the politics of the day.

     If Nero was actually our President today, my advice would be pretty much the same as Paul's; "shut up and do what your told, and pray that God will fix it".  The Constitution of America was formed specifically to make sure we never see a "Nero" or a "Caesar", therefore, we have a process that was not available to the early Christian church, and that process is undermined, underutilized, and under attack. 
     We know from the Bible that God quite often uses "ungodly" men for his aims.  He has a plan, and that plan quite often includes a despotic ruler or system being used by Satan to limit the spread and influence of Christianity in the world.  God gives leeway to Satan in order to make his final plan come to pass, but he always protects his true and faithful believer unless its time to bring that believer home.  I believe God's plan includes the weakening of America's power and influence around the globe and He has allowed the current president the task of doing this under Satan's guidance.  However, we don't have to help him!

     For some strange reason, the Christian church as a whole has removed itself from the political process and unfortunately the government (and liberals/progressives in particular) continues to use the process to guide us all into an America that is ungodly and tyrannical.  The powers that be are constantly attacking the faith of Christians from all sides and we cannot afford to run away from it.
     They get plenty of help from the mainstream news media that constantly pushes the message that Christians are uneducated dolts who don't understand the "real world" and just want to force everyone to accept their morals and faith; they hate the thought of Christians becoming politically active, and wish that we would all just disappear.
     You want to know why?  Lets crunch some numbers:  In the 2008 general election there was a total of around 129.5 million votes split between the top two candidates, Obama got roughly 69.5 million and McCain got roughly 60 million.  According to statistics, there are supposedly around 90 million evangelical believers in the United States today.  If we were to get just 77% of all those evangelicals on the same page, there is no way we would have to put up with just the two establishment idiots they put up for election every four years, we could have our own candidate and they would not be able to "rig it" like they do now.
     They know it too!  Why do you think they scare pastors into thinking that they can't speak the truth from the pulpit?  They know we have the single biggest voting block in the world!  The problem here is a lack of unity, true unity.  I'm not talking about holding hands and singing Kum-ba-ya, I'm talking about the same gospel message being spoken from every Christian pulpit in the nation and every pastor having the courage to "tell it like it is", the 501c3 be damned! 
     If you need Caesars "tax exemption" to keep the church running then you're not preaching a gospel that Christ is willing to protect.  Our people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and its the pastor's job to make sure his flock understands the issues and that they know how to vote like a Christian.  If that responsibility had been taken seriously in the past, we would not be facing the issues we face today.

     Instead, we have denominations that openly accept "gay"pastors and bishops, willingly perform "same-sex marriage" ceremonies, preach "feel good" "I'm OK, your OK" messages from the pulpit, and think that cleaning windshields and handing out bottled water at intersections is witnessing for Christ.  I want to be as far away from these churches as I can get when the Lord returns, cause it ain't gonna be pretty.
      How about some more math - In 2008 Obama got 24% of evangelical voters, that is at least 21.6 million votes over a 9.5 million vote difference for the candidates.  Evangelical voters gave Obama the election!  The truth is, every one of those voters could have looked at his public voting record, researched his past, and came to the same conclusion I did.  The Christian decision was... DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA.
     Wanna hear something truly ironic?  This HHS mandate has stirred up the Catholic church something fierce, and 54% of Catholics who voted in 2008, voted for...you guessed it, Obama.  A little tip folks, when someone supports abortion, supports the homosexual agenda, lies, takes part in "dirty politics" at every level, hangs with unrepentant terrorists and Black Liberation Theologists, and finally maintains that he is a Christian, don't buy it, he's blowing sunshine up your breeches.

     To summarize, the powers that run this nation and their media minions want you to believe that anyone who thinks that Christianity is being marginalized, attacked, or restricted is some kind of wing nut.  It is so obvious to any awake observer that its ridiculous.  As Christians, we would not be in this position if our people would vote their conscience in obedience to God, its that simple.
     You have some choices to make very soon.  Will you obey God or man?  Will you vote for the man that claims to be a Christian and shows absolutely no Christian fruit and is really most likely a Muslim?  Will you vote for the other man who believes that when he dies he'll become the god of his own planet?    If 90 million unified Christians were to vote for one third man the system would have to recognize him. 
     I realize that it won't happen, but dreaming is not illegal, yet.  All I can ask is that every Christian in the country would educate themselves, get registered to vote, and vote with Christian conscience.  Go to God and get guidance, and when faced with the opportunity to choose God's word over mans laws, make the choice to glorify God, not man.
     Myself, I see this election as a choice of ice-cream with poop on top or poop with ice-cream on top....It may look different, but its all the same.

God Bless and good luck

Convert a Gay at Chick-Fil-A

     The recent flap over Chick-Fil-A's president Dan Cathy's outspoken opinion on marriage and the fact that he supports "traditional marriage" as being between a man and a woman has thrown Christian salt on the open wound of unrepentant gays and their supporters nationwide.
     A recent blog post from a Washington Post reporter named Sally Quinn suggests some ways for gays to retaliate against the record setting success of the Mike Huckabee suggested "Chick-Fil-A appreciation day" held nationwide on August 1st.  The word is that most locations ran out of food by the end of the day!

     Quinn's post, entitled "Chick-fil-A day: Don't boycott. Infiltrate" suggests that gays start applying for jobs at Chick-fil-A, that they become managers, and take over the stores.  She suggests that they should patronize the stores and make them the gay hangouts of the community.  Next, that gay partners and same sex couples should take their children there, have birthday parties, and gay pride events at the locations.  Finally, they could have gay weddings, all in the face of Chick-fil-A patrons.

     As a Christian, I say bring it on!  We would like nothing better than to have the opportunity to witness to gays and lesbians about their sinful and immoral lifestyles in a comfortable and safe environment, instead of having to corner them in some debuachery filled "gay pride" parade or some other event.  Getting gays into the store would save a whole lot of hassle for our witnessing plans.  We could just plan to have lunch or supper on certain days, bring our bibles and make plans to help them to repent of their immorality, and help free them from their bondage of homosexuality.

     Ms. Quinn apparently gets her theological teaching from a gay Bishop named Gene Robinson who obviously would not know Jesus Christ if he sat down in the front pew of his church and showed him his nail scarred hands!
     "Bishop" Robinson says "according to the accounts of the life of Jesus as recorded by the Gospels, Jesus never said anything about sexually intimate relationship(s) between people of the same gender.  Nor did  he comment on the sexual behavior between people of the same gender.  Period."
    
     Wow!  Theological genius at work here!  Jesus never said anything about sexually intimate relationships between people and parakeets either, but I'm quite certain he would consider it sinful. 
     A little lesson for the Bishop:  Jesus was a Jew who was born and raised under the old Mosaic and Levitical Law.  That law was clear about the fate of homosexuals.  He came to fullfill that law as the only human being who could obey it to the letter.  Without his successful fulfillment of the entire law and his atoning sacrifice on the cross for all mankind, including gays, all of those gays who hate him so much would still be getting "stoned to death" for their sin today. 
     Because of Jesus, all they need to do now is repent and accept him as the Lord of their life and they will be changed.   A whole lot better than being stoned, don't you think?  Instead, what gays want to do is try to destroy the messenger, the person who wants to stand up for their Lord and his laws.

     Mr. Cathy's testimony on traditional marriage did not hurt anyone, gays and lesbians weren't actually hurt by what he said, they were convicted by the Holy Spirit, they were reminded again that the lifestyle they chose is abnormal an immoral and that they are in bondage to a community and lifestyle that they want to be free from, but cannot leave.  They refuse to face the truth in their heart because of pride and fear.

     It does not help the situation when idiot mayors like Rahm Emanuel (Chicago) and Thomas Menino (Boston) begin a policy of disallowing Christian supporting businesses to set up shop in their city.  That's OK Rahm, try to imagine what your city would be like if every true christian decided to vacate Chicago and move somewhere more suitable to religious freedom.  You don't have enough cops to cover the chaos, but I'm sure you would find some crooked way to benefit!

     Ms. Quinn also asks the question, "what are biblical principles?"  Let me take the time to answer that question for her and her theological muse Bishop Robinson.
     The Apostle Paul was a Roman persecutor of Jews and new Christians.  He oversaw the Stoning death of the first Christian Martyr Stephen.  He became an Apostle after his personal conversion by Jesus Christ himself.  In his Epistle to the Romans 1:21-32, Paul says this:

     "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foollish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.
     Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed forever.  Amen.
     For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:  for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.
     Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, mailiciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:  Who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them who do them." 

     Please take heed to which side you are on in this debate.  Myself, I want to be as far as I can get from Bishop Robinson when the Lord Jesus Christ comes back.  Ms. Quinn is just misinformed and misled; I pray that she will have her eyes and heart opened.

     If you are a Christian, you should do your part to support Chick-fil-A in the future and consider purchasing products and services provided by christian believing companies as well as stopping purchases from companies who support anti-Christian beliefs. 
     FYI, the CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has just recently donated $2.5 million to help pass a same sex marriage referendum in Washington state.  In the past, I have spent a lot of money on Amazon.com.  It won't happen in the future, sorry JB, you chose your side!


God bless Chick-fil-A, and God bless you,

Bryan

Abort the HHS Mandate and Heal Our Land

     "If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways:  Then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will HEAL THEIR LAND."

     In 1774 the first act of the Continental Congress was to pause for a prayer that was based on the 35th Psalm, which begins with the phrase "Plead my cause O LORD, with them that strive with me:  Fight against them that fight against me."  Later in verse 20, "For they speak not peace:  But they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land." 
     All 28 verses of this Psalm could apply to the current political and religious climate of America today.

     In 1776, the same Continental Congress called for a national day of fasting and prayer with the Fast Day Proclamation of December 11.  It stated, "Resolved, that it be recommended to all the united states, as soon as possible, to appoint a day of solemn fasting and humiliation; to implore of almighty God the forgiveness of the many sins prevailing among all ranks, and to beg the countenance and assistance of his providence in the prosecution of the present just and necessary war."  The first Congress made it a habit of consulting God, the Christian God, for assistance.

     The Declaration of Independence references God in one way or another four times.  As "Natures God", the "Creator", the "Supreme Judge of the World", and finally as "Divine Providence".  Today, the president of the United States quotes passages from this document while deleting any reference of God.

     On April 30, 1789, during his first inaugural address, George Washington said "The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself hath ordained."
     This message was a prophecy which was fulfilled for America.  Secular and religious leaders of today have disregarded God's rules and morals, and as a result, his hedge of protection has been cut down.

     We are constantly reminded by our leaders that we have "inalienable rights" that are protected by civil government but lately it has become obvious that they believe we have no natural right in opposition to social "duties" that they require as citizens of the New Global World Order.
     As a consequence, this minority of leftists have decided that our right to religious conscience should give way to the social "duties" of abortion, sterilization, contraception, and other population control and eugenics measures.  The HHS Mandate will codify these "duties" now and in the future.

     James Madison, in his Memorial and Remonstrance (1785) said "Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe", and that no man's rights in the matters of religion should be abridged by the institution of civil society.  Rulers who are guilty of such an encroachment, exceed the commission from which they derive their authority and are tyrants.  "The people who submit to it are governed by laws made neither by themselves nor by an authority derived from them, and are slaves."

     The HHS mandate is really just another ploy reared up by Satan and his minions in order to marginalize Christian influence on our society.  The ultimate goal is to destroy the church which can be done through the destruction of Christian morals & dogma, elimination of the family unit, redefinition of marriage and the complete removal of God's word as a guiding light to society.
     They seem to have gained a lot so far but it is only because the church has become complacent and compromising.  Church leadership as a whole is full of false teachers, globalist change agents, and quite honestly, cowards that won't stand firm for the Word of God.

     The entire spectrum of the HHS mandate is a basic issue of sanctity of life dressed up as "women's reproductive rights and health".  The sanctity of life is a transcendental concept that only truly means something to those who know and obey God.
     The continual removal of God from every facet of public life has made our society susceptible to the slick lie that government should be able  to decide what a "quality life" should be, in effect making them not just "godlike", but actually god.  The result is that they decide what measures need to be taken to assure that their definition of a "quality life" is accepted and demanded.
     Unfortunately, by their standards, a poor quality life is defined as poor heredity, accidental pregnancy, being  uneducated, being elderly, being crippled, and being mentally or physically handicapped.  All of these conditions require elimination through drastic measures like sterilization, abortion, and euthanasia in order for these unregenerate elitists to gain their New World Order, low population, perfect race utopia.
     The solutions for these "poor quality" lifestyles are provided to us by our government through non-legislative acts like the HHS Mandate that guarantees the free availability of sterilization services, abortion services, and contraceptive products.  Next we'll be forced to provide free euthanasia services, free genetic manipulation, free sex change operations, etc...

     As law abiding citizens, the Christian community does not deny equal freedom to those who believe differently than us in regards to God, but when we stand up for our freedom to embrace, profess, and observe the laws of God, the rest of society tries their best to deny us those rights.  We are constantly being accused of trying to "legislate our morality" for other people. 
     The facts appear to be contrary however;  Our government is trying to use unconstitutional "mandates", issued by irrelevant government appointees (not duly elected representatives) that result in the legislation of its immorality on us.
      In the meantime, Christians who try to stop this unconstitutional encroachment upon our religious freedom are mocked and persecuted.  We are labeled as "haters" and "exclusivists".  Christ was accurate when he mentioned that we would be hated for his names sake and for our attempt to live by his law.

     Like I mentioned earlier, this is a basic issue of the sanctity of life.  To destroy a human life, in the womb or out is the denial of life and mercy, and is the antithesis of God and love.  This is something that we as believers cannot allow the government to legislate upon us, period!
     The embracing of abortion, sterilization, eugenics, contraception, etc... helps to create a cultural environment that is ripe for genocide, which is made possible whenever a society can be misled into defining individuals as less than human and not deserving of value and respect.

     Imagine if you will, a virgin fourteen year old girl insisting that her pregnancy was the responsibility of the Holy Spirit, and that a holy vision from an angel told her that the baby in her womb was the long awaited messiah, the savior of the world.
     Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, HHS, and the current Executive Branch would have a hey day with that one.  Applying their definition of a "quality life", our savior and his earthly mother would be perfect candidates for their "mandate".
     It is ironic and sad that the same child would eventually have to die an unmerciful death without dignity on a cross at Calvary in order to save us all from our own merciless, selfish, evil ways.  Something that none of us should ever forget.

     In closing, I would like to take you back to 2 Chronicles 17:4 referenced at the beginning of this post.

     Jesus Christ is standing OUTSIDE this Laodicean church knocking on the door, wanting to come back in and if we let him back in --------He will heal our land.

God Bless,
Bryan

Gimme that One World Religion - Cathol-islam!? (Repost from Feb. 2012)

     "Now the Spirit speaks expressly , that in the latter times some shall depart from the Faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of Devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their consciences seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the Truth."
                                                                                                    I Timothy 4:1-3

     Recently, there has been a lot of internet discussion in "religious" circles about the Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Summer Institute of Liguistics (SIL) issuing a Bible that removes all references to God as "Father" or Jesus as his "Son" or to Jesus as the "Son of God".
     The reason for this is to be able to market a Bible to the Muslim faith that will not be offensive to their religious sensibilities.  You see, Islam teaches that Jesus Christ was a Prophet, Healer, and a Teacher, but that he was NOT the Son of God, nor was he crucified, so he was NOT resurrected from the dead as the Bible tells us.  Any Muslim who would confess that God has a Son named Jesus Christ is guilty of the Islamic sin of "Shirk" and unless he recants would most likely be beheaded or hanged for that sin.

     Before we get to the meat of this post I would like to say that Wycliffe and SIL have issued statements denying that they have created such blasphemous Bibles.
      Their response in part is, "While we have never intentionally sponsored a translation that neglects to properly communicate the divine familial terms, some observers have raised concerns about whether our methodology has consistently met our goal.  We are listening to those concerns and are seeking God's guidance as we re-evaluate our methodology and investigate to ensure that our committment to accurate and clear translation is being reflected in every project."
     SIL responded by saying, "Without reservation, SIL's scripture translation practice is to use wording which accurately communicates to the intended audience the relationship of Father by which God chose to describe Himself in relationship to His Son, Jesus Christ, as is stated in the original languages of scripture."

     I personally have not seen the "new translation" myself, but the accusation is that for example, Matthew 28:19 has been changed from "baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" to a more Muslim friendly, "cleanse them by water in the name of Allah, his Messiah, and his Holy Spirit."
     First, changing the original intent of the word of God is a no-no.  Second, if this example is in fact a true example then both translator/publishers just issued a bald faced lie.  Allah is NOT the God of the Bible and to even write his name in the place of God is blasphemy.  Allah has a Messiah, but he has not yet come, he is known as the Mahdi, or 12th Imam, and he is the Antichrist of the Bible.  Allah does not have a holy spirit, he has a demon spirit, because he is Satan. 
     Note:  Allah =Moon God=Set=Bel=Baal=Horus=Moloch=etc..

     The intent of this garbage is no different than the intent of current evangelical leaders like Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Tony Campolo, Brian McLaren, Paul Wilkinson, etc... in trying to merge all faiths together into a global religious utopia. 
     The world see's the two most "fundamentalist" faiths as Christianity and Islam, and history shows that Christians are more prone to "compromise" than Muslims, hence, we see movements like this one to include Muslims in another "Abrahamic" faith with a watered version of the Bible, and other movements like "Christlam" being pushed by these "leaders" of modern evangelicalism.
      Everything you see here is just another basket full of seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils pointed out in the scriptural introduction.  We are in the end times and these "evangelical leaders" are part and parcel of the plan of Satan to introduce a new ONE WORLD RELIGION which will eventually be based in Rome then Babylon.  It will be guided by the Antichrist and his False Prophet who will reign down persecution on the remaining Jews and others who did not receive Christ before the Rapture.

     "And I saw Thrones, and they that sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them and I saw the souls of them who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the Beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

     This scripture taken from Revelation 20:4 has John describing what he see's in Heaven during his vision on the Isle of Patmos.  It says that the AntiChrist (Beast) will "behead" those who will not worship him, or his image, or will not take his mark.
     I can only think of two religious faiths that have historically forced people to accept their dogma and doctrine under threat of the sword, Catholicism and Islam.  Both faiths have beheaded people for their witness for Jesus Christ and for the Word of God.  One faith has historically ruled from Rome and they both had their cultural beginnings in Babylon.  They say "All roads lead to Rome" and they are right.
     Today we hear protestant evangelical leaders touting the Catholic system.  Billy Graham was famous for getting people saved then telling them they could remain in their false religious system; he is probably a Jesuit Priest, and is definitely a Master Mason, I can show you a picture of him receiving his certificate!

     You never hear the Catholic Church complaining about the mishandling of Biblical scripture in regards to all of the false doctrine being spread around in the modern evangelical church; doctrines like Christlam, Dominionism, Emergent Church, Word Faith, Prosperity, Seeker Sensitive, Hebraic Movement, I could go on and on.  Why?  because they have a bunch of false doctrine of their own.
     Right now, the one catholic person reading this blog is tearing his clothes, throwing dirt in the air and beating his chest, just like the Muslim next to him, but before you rush for your simitar and head for my house, do me one favor.  Go take that dusty Vatican II Roman Catholic Catechism off the shelf and turn to paragraph 841 and read the following words:

     841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

     This statement speaks for itself.  It says several things that contradict Biblical scripture.
  • Salvation does not include those who "acknowledge the Creator".  Satan acknowledges the creator but I can guarantee you he does not have salvation.
  • Muslims claim to hold the faith of Abraham, however, Abraham believed God (not Allah) and it was accounted to him for righteousness.  Righteousness is only accounted to us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  Holding the faith of Abraham does not bring salvation.
  • We do not adore the same God, but lets look at this in more detail.  Who is "us" in the last phrase of this statement, the Catholic church universal? or the upper leadership who wrote the catechism? (by the way, Vatican II was edited by Joseph Ratzinger, the current Pope) maybe the upper leadership of the Vatican actually does worship Allah, they just don't let everyone else in on it - It must remain a "mystery".  The Koran says that Jesus is not the Son of God, God has no son, God is not part of a trinity, Jesus was not crucified, and therefore could not have been raised from the dead.  My God has a Son named Jesus who was crucified for my sins and was resurrected by God, so we do not adore the same God..
     So, The catholic catechism says you just need to "acknowledge the Creator" to be saved.  No, you have to "profess the faith of Abraham" to be saved.  No, I see, you have to "adore the one, merciful God", the one that the Muslims call "Allah" in order to be saved.  Now I'm really confused.
     Since the Pope is "Infallible" (that means never wrong), and since he's the "Vicar of Christ" (means he is Christs representative on earth), then I have to assume he understood the Muslim faith when he approved this statement for publication, so we must rule out ignorance.  
     Ignorance being ruled out, we could assume that the Pope is trying to deceive someone.  Now why would the most pious man on the planet use deceit?  He's the Vicar of christ! for God's sake.

     No, the reason is this - The leadership of the Catholic Church believes we all worship the same god and that there are many paths to that god.  That is why the fundamental born again Christian is the enemy of the Catholic Church and Islam, not that it matters, but the Catholic Church says that I am not saved because I was not baptized in their church.  That is why the Catholic church keeps her mouth shut on doctrinal issues that differ from the evangelical world.  She knows she will be "in charge" for a short while at the end of the age and will be able to force feed her doctrine to all who are left after the rapture of the true church.  That group will include all those reprobate, apostate, evangelical junk peddlers that are currently destroying Christianity.

     The new world religion will start as a hybrid of Catholicism and Islam and the Catholic Church and her pagan, inclusive, deceiteful doctrines will be exposed and laid bare, destroying her and allowing the antichrist and Islam to take its place as the final One World Religion based in Babylon.  This is just the beginning.

     Time is short, Jesus paid the price for your salvation.  All you have to do is believe this and accept his gift of grace for your life.  Its not hard, its not work, its simple faith in what God has provided that you may have eternal life with him, accept it - its your only way out of this mess.

I can hear the faint blowing of the last trump, don't wait too long.

God Bless,

See Something - Say Something - Are You Kidding?

     I have been trying to resist the urge to address the subject of this post, but I finally have to give in and do it. I just can't take it anymore!  I fully expect some government or google connected security wonk to block or pull this post not long after its published, so read it while you can.

     Your United States Government is quickly and quietly setting up a  surveillance and police state to be thrust upon all of us when they have decided its time for them to make their move for totalitarian power to be shared with all those big, elitist, international banker scumbags they "claim" to loathe.  The proof is in the news every day and most of America is either asleep, ignorant, or too trusting of their government to recognize the danger lying ahead.  Let me try to connect the dots for those folks.

     To make along story short, in 2001 our freedom and liberty was attacked via a "terrorist" attack in New York City that resulted in a law called "The Patriot Act" and the rearrangement of a large security and control infrastructure called FEMA and Homeland Security. 
     This led to every American citizen being considered a threat to national security unless proven otherwise, evidenced by the fact that the TSA is now given access to your "naughty bits" at airports, football stadiums, and even some highway rest areas where VIPR teams are infringing on the rights of perfectly innocent citizens who believe that since they are innocent its OK to let the government trample their rights, after all, if you don't have anything to hide, what are you afraid of?  Totalitarianism you IDIOT!

    Now, here we are 11 years later and what do we have?  A President who thinks he can waltz in and just fire a private company's CEO (GM) and take it over himself, force everyone in the country to buy expensive mercury filled curly cue light bulbs manufactured by one of his best campaign supporters, devise a national health care plan that forces everyone in the country to purchase a government supplied service under the threat of fine or imprisonment, then passes a National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA) that allows him to indefinitely detain any "suspect" American without a formal charge or trial (more detail in a minute), and finally comes right out and says that during his second term he is going take our 2nd Amendment rights away!

     Every day I hear some sleazebag on the mainstream propaganda channels spewing out garbage about how the Constitution is outdated and needs to be re-written to apply to modern times.  The one document that has assured unlimited freedom and liberty for over 200 years in the finest, most productive, most innovative, most charitable nation in the history of the whole planet, is outdated and needs to be re-written?!
     Anybody who believes that drivel must have a low 20's IQ, or is a traitor to this nation, or both.  As a matter of fact it appears that we have an assembly full of traitors in Washington D.C.  I thought every one of those tools took an oath to "protect and defend the constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic"?  The assembly is doing a fine job, lets see what they have been up to...

     The Janet Napolitano led homeland security thugs are looking for terrorists around every corner twenty four hours a day and doing everything in their power to keep you safe from people involved in the following unamerican activities, through their "See Something - Say Something" spy on your neighbor program.  Here are some of the "suspicious activities" you may be involved in and what your neighbors have been asked to report to Ms. Incompetano:

  • Stockpiling food, medical supplies, and water for emergencies
  • Taking pictures or videos in public places
  • Voting for third party candidates or putting their bumper sticker on you car
  • Protesting anything the government does
  • Speaking out against government policies that overstep the constitution
  • Questioning environmental policies and denying anthropogenic global warming
  • Purchasing precious metals, or suggesting the use of alternative currencies
  • Paying cash at internet cafes
  • Talking to police officers and asking questions about your rights
  • Opposing the use of surveillance technology without probable cause
  • Wearing a hoody
  • Driving a windowless van
  • Writing on a piece of paper in public
  • Speaking out against the North American Union or NAFTA
  • Understanding your constitutional rights and expecting them to be respected
  • Speaking out against homosexuality, gays, or transgender
  • Speaking out against Islam and false prophets like Muhammad
  • Speaking out against abortion and abortion providers
  • Speaking out against globalization and the New World Order (Shut up conspiracy theorist)
  • Speaking the truth about the Federal Reserve System (its private, not federal)
  • Speaking the truth about false flag terrorism (Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, 911, etc..)
  • Support of "Founding Father" ideals and a love of Constitution / Declaration of Independence
  • Speaking out against the TSA, FEMA, and Homeland Security
  • Homeschooling your children
  • Refusing to let your children be vaccinated or controlled by local school officials
  • Praying or sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ
     This is no joke people, take the time to query your favorite search engine for some of these activities and you will find that I am serious!  These are just a sample of whats in store.
     Before getting too far lets readdress the NDAA issue.  Two traitors, Carl Levin and John McCain sponsored the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012.  In case you have not heard, the bill was quietly signed by Obama on January 1, 2012 after he stated that he would not sign it because of some of the more controversial sections written in the bill.  He did it anyway.
     This Act does several things aside from authorizing money for National Defense, it denotes the geographical United States as part of the "battleground" in the war on terror, it authorizes the Department of Defense to detain anyone suspected of supporting terrorism in any way, anywhere in the world.  The bill does not specify who has the responsibility to determine who is a suspect and who is not.
     According to the NDAA anyone can be detained without official charges, without a fair trial, without an indictment by a grand jury, without representation by a lawyer, and without any prior warning or warrant.  The person can be held indefinitely, can be relocated to an overseas location, and as proved by Anwar Al Awlaki's final outcome, the "suspect" can be killed with an armed, unmanned, remotely controlled drone or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) at the order of the President, who incidentally claims he has that right.  Pretty ironic, coming from a President who promised to stop rendition flights and close Guantanamo Bay.
     The NDAA also authorizes the purchase of 30,000 new UAV's for use in the United States of America and directs the FAA to set up flight criteria, and certification, to allow for integration into busy U.S. airspace (the mainstream whore news media is saying they will be used for traffic control, they think you're stupid).
     It also calls for up to ten "test ranges" to be set up to "test and certify" these new drones.  I'll bet there will be ten "test ranges" and there will be one "test range" for each of the ten FEMA regions in the United States.  Arm these drones with the latest and greatest laser guided technology, possibly  including the newest SANDIA Labs guided bullet, connect them with the local threat Fusion Center (each state now has at least one), and Wa-La, the next poor guy who criticizes the government, and screams "Give Me Liberty or Give me death" ends up like Anwar, who, by the way, apparently had breakfast with Pentagon officials a couple of weeks after 9-11.  

     Just a side note about Anwar: Now the State run press is saying that Anwar was running Abdul the underwear bomber (he's dead and he can't defend himself of course) even after the proof has been publicized that the U.S. government helped him and his underwear get on the plane to the United states.
     Don't misunderstand me, Anwar was a Muslim and most likely an Al-CIA-da terrorist, but he was also a United States citizen; I still believe that a citizen of this nation has the right to face his accusers and make them prove his guilt.  It appears that Obama and the Holder Justice Department have a different philosophy, kill first, then convict.  Pay attention folks, you could be next.

     Back to the "spy on your neighbor" program sponsored by Janet Incompetano and Department of Homeland Surveillance.  Most people see this as an innocent attempt to increase situational awareness in the general public.  History shows that what increases is the amount of pissed off people using the system to get rid of problem neighbors, business partners, "loser" co-workers, ex spouses or lovers, or any other "enemy" for money or other reasons.
     This is what happened in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia, and Mao's China.  People willingly gave up anyone and everyone they could in order to get some sort of favoritism from the state or to save their own hides from persecution.  The state would slowly and gradually start chipping away at standard rights and liberties in the name of "defense" and "safety" while most citizens just took the attitude that "the government is doing what it thinks best to safeguard us", and "I don't care, I'm not doing anything illegal".
     This complacency of the citizenry basically amounted to an "Implied Consent" to the government to go ahead and take whatever rights they wanted.  This is where we are right now in the United states.  If we continue to let this government get bigger and bigger, step all over the Constitution, continue to let one man govern by executive order, signing statements and Presidential directives, then we get what we deserve.
     That neighbor you made angry because you let your dog poop in his yard all the time is liable to call DHS and tell them he thinks you are supporting terrorism.  Next thing you know, all hell is raining down on you from some unmanned UAV being "test flown" from the nearest "test range" by some 18 year old slurpy sipping recruit who owes the government money for college just before a jack-booted homeland security brownshirt dirtbag who thinks he's Rambo is dragging you to a black van, taking you to the nearest rendition staging area, and sending you off to etrernal detainment in some rat infested Haliburton/KBR constructed FEMA camp, never to be seen by your family again.

     Barack Obama is making no bones about the fact that he wants to destroy a constitution that he swore an oath to God to protect; that ought to be enough to throw him out on his ear.  He is clear about the fact that he will get a second term and when he does he's gunning for your right to bear arms, because if he can take away your ability to defend yourself, he can complete his agenda.  These people control elections all the time, so he just might get a second term and you better be paying attention. 
     This government and the current administration have made a wreck of the economy, the social support structure, the housing market, the medical system, the educational system, and many other facets of our national makeup.  The mainstream whore media want you to believe that the majority of people in this nation want Obama for a second term - HOW CAN THIS BE?  DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT FOR ONE SECOND.

     Wake up folks, you have eleven months to research and learn the truth.  The Jews in Germany didn't imagine a government would slaughter 6 million of their brethren, millions of unsuspecting people were murdered under Mao and Stalin, they were trusted too.  IT CAN HAPPEN HERE!!!!
