The Raising of a Progressive Voter…

Something precious being lost..

Something beautiful being cruely treated

Something free being threatened

Something worth saving?

One way of life being treasured

Are the needs of these men less than those of other men?

Is this man a bad man?

Are WE all evil for needing rubber?

So, my 13 year old daughter comes to me yesterday bemoaning a film on the Amazon Rain forest (part of her multiculturalism class I told you about). She was spouting off like a hot tea pot saying, “Oh. My. GOSH, Mama! It was so PROGRESSIVE! ‘They said, ‘destroying the rainforest’ and ‘save the rainforest’ and ‘stealing from the rainforest’ a million times! Like, we are so horrible to use the rainforest! I mean, they managed to make RUBBER evil!’

This made me pause. She’s only 13 and is still struggling to verbalize an extremely tricky Progressive maneuver. She, like her daddy and I, adore nature- we see the face of God written all over it. We conserve & are the most fierce protectors of our natural surroundings. Unlike ol’ Al Gore out there, we don’t excuse ourselves with being rich enough to create a ‘negative energy footprint’. We don’t even use chemicals on our garden or lawn- it is what it is. Plants thrive or they don’t. We refuse to buy more than one garbage can for our family of five- we WILL recycle, compost and reuse. We are complete geeks that way. Our children have learned great gentleness and compassion for all life forms from us.

Yet, she sensed trickery in the film. She said she looked around at all the other students and they were all saying, ‘Oh my gosh! That’s terrible! WE need to do something about it!” She said she felt lonely and sad.

We needed to talk. I sat her down and warned her not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We do love the rainforest- who doesn’t love beauty? And who wants to see something so vast and delicate be destroyed? It is truly one of those wonders that can not come back if destroyed. But does this mean that humans are an infestation on this earth? No. Does this mean that mankind comes last? No. Does this mean that the people who work there, trying to put food on the table for their families are evil? No. Does this mean that our American children should grow up and vote for a politician who says that it is OUR job to make solutions for the entire world and push these other countries to do our will? No.

See, this is the subtle message of Progressivism. To make our youth believe that only WE, in our infinite wisdom, know how to live ‘properly’. That somehow, some elite educated core of people have all the ‘right’ answers and that they should be the ones to create a BIG solution for everyone. The only problem behind this noble quest is that it must include tyranny to get the job done.

The Progressives use ideas like, ‘Save the Rain Forest’, ‘Global Warming’, ‘Imminent Food Shortage Crisis’ to create a mindset where people come to believe that only THEY can find the right solution. That the actual people involved in the situation are somehow ‘less intelligent’ or ‘less educated’ or ‘less capable’ of helping themselves. They pull at the heart strings & fear strings of our youth to inculcate them early with support for such global solution thinking.

This is how generations will vote for massive environmental laws that has already made ‘Mother Nature’ a legal person at the UN (I kid you not) who can sue people for ‘abusing’ her. This is how we get Monsanto genetically modified products- only THEY know how to produce enough food for the ‘world’. This is how we get agreement on the part of the People to create a World government- who else has the power to ‘save the people from themselves?’

But how can a ‘global solution’ be implemented? Are there not huge forces already at work, causing the ‘global PROBLEM’? Who will oppose those ‘global forces’? There can only be one answer: a ‘global government’. DING DONG!

Most adults couldn’t verbalize WHY such a film would bother them. They KNOW something is wrong but just can’t put their finger on it. My daughter KNEW she was being manipulated. She has excellent instincts. I had to help her find the words.

I am writing to show you the subtlety of Progressivism. How can we fight films that show little boys and girls adorable moneys, colorful frogs and exquisite butterflies being decimated by evil corporations, evil human needs, greedy gas guzzlers, rubber loving A-holes around the world??? Who can provide a counter point to these wide eyed innocents? ALL of these will become voters- and they will gladly give up America for the sake of those little animals they will probably never see in their lives.

My daughter simply said, ‘I felt lonely when I looked around. It makes me really sad,” with tears in her eyes. I hugged her and told her that not many people can see the truth anymore. And that to be one of them means to be lonely. I told her she had to be strong in the upcoming days. Evil is clever, friends. It never rests. While we slave away, working to make ends meet, it has invaded our schools and has infiltrated the minds and hearts of our children. Be awake, parents, and make sure your children understand the world around them. Or very soon, they will see YOU as the enemy.

Lesbian Mothers- Turned Normal Boy Into a Girl: Gay Adoption=Child Abuse

Here is Thomas, a normal little boy.

In 2011, a little boy became the victim of gay adoption laws.   Perhaps he was difficult to adopt due to having a substantial speech impediment and only began communicating at age three with sign language.  He represents the vulnerable population of children that are considered ‘un-adoptable’, the ones whom the gay community says they are ‘rescuing’ from adoption homes.  These are those whom are considered to be ‘better off’ in the arms of homosexual parents than in the arms of the orphanage.   These are the children that are being experimented upon by our Godless society in America.

“Let’s see if two lesbians or two gay men can raise a child as well as a proper male/female married couple”, they blithely wonder to themselves.  This grand experiment, in their minds, will be the final justification for their gay sex, gay ‘marriage’ and gay parenting agenda.  If they can prove that rebellious homosexual atheist parents are ‘every bit as good’ as a good old fashioned mommy and daddy, they can overturn the entire definition of family- which of course is the Progressive goal.

I’m not sure why the story is being resurrected now, but I’m glad it is.  Because this poor boy has recently produced some videos (which his progressives ‘mothers’ seem to think are fine to be uploaded) for the world to see on YouTube.  These videos are disturbing in so many ways.  They show a child who is desperately unhappy and unhealthy.  What you will see is the result of one of the most cruel forms of experimentation ever done on human beings.  Hitler’s human experimentation has got nothing on these gals.  This boy is being slowly and maliciously turned into a girl through brain washing, drugs and hormone therapy.  Eventually, they will cut off his penis in  a sex change operation.

Thomas, aged two, was irresponsibly allowed to be adopted by two lesbian grandmothers who had ‘decided’ late in life that they were gay (after already having children & grandchildren with men).    Because our government has been utterly corrupted by Progressives, it no longer bothered to find a decent home for this two year old boy.  Instead, in the spirit of ‘fair play’ and political correctness, it gave this innocent boy over to the care of two women who are in full disobedience to the God (whom they dare to say they serve).  Here you see that they wear the Jewish garb and dare to celebrate the bar mitzvah- oh!  How that must anger God!  They are like the Jews of old who were all about the customs and nothing about true obedience!

These two miscreants took this perfect looking boy and immersed him into their Progressive world of “boy = girl and girl=boy” and when he says, “I am a girl!” at three years old (when he had only just learned to sign),  they actually take him seriously.  (what?)  Instead of helping this little fella understand himself better, they indulge him in a childish statement made before he can even properly communicate.  They say he was ‘unhappy’ and locked up ‘as a boy’ but when they allowed him to play ‘princess’, why, he just became giggly and happy!  It never occurs to these dimwits that maybe this little boy feels incredibly rejected and lonely in ‘real life’ (because, you know, he can’t talk like other kids and his parents dumped him when he was a baby!) and so decided to have a fantasy life where things were always funny, sweet, loving and kind- with rainbows, hearts and unicorns- where nothing ugly or hurtful happens.  THIS doesn’t occur to these ladies who have already thrown their own sexuality out the window.

The two ‘sweet grandmas’ who were given custody of a normal little boy and have taken him down a path of certain unhappiness & probably suicide. They’ve take their accursed lives and shoved it onto the innocent. These two will see certain hell.

Instead, they take a tiny baby and claim that he knows and fully understands what he wants on one of the most critical aspects of a human life:  his sexual identity and even the actuality of his body.  Because they and their entire community nurse fantasies of sex changes, cross dressing, homosexual sex & …’love’, they were only too quick to force their son into a lifetime of pure hell.  .

Come on, we are all thinking the same thing, are we not?  These two miserable harpies couldn’t handle life as failed women- they obviously had a go at it as they both have children from relationships with men.  I have no doubt these two were kicked to the sidewalk for obvious reasons.  And now, they are determined to shove their misery onto as many people as possible in order to call themselves, their misery, their failure and their rebellion against God as, ‘normal’.  Their hatred of men has been transferred onto this poor boy.

AWWW… Just look at those God fearing women!

Let us see the results of these lesbians’ ‘care’ for this boy, shall we?  Here is a photo of poor Thomas after they began dressing him as a girl.  Here, they are ‘indulging’ the poor kid as their, ‘sweet, sweet princess’ at another son’s bar mitzvah.

That was two years ago.  Curious, I searched the internet for an update to this story and could find none.  But then, by sheer chance, I came upon  Thomas’ recently made YouTube videos.  He has made three of them.  He now calls himself ‘Tammy’.  See these for yourself and ask yourself if these are normal videos and normal behavior.  In one, he appears to be viewing himself on many angles, evaluating his face and who he IS.  This boy is the most messed up kid in America.  Congratulations, America- the Great Babylon- THIS is the result of your cruel, demonic experimentation on innocent children.  This boy was unhappy.  No doubt.  But not because he was a ‘girl trapped in a boy’s body’, but because he was rejected for his very being.  His parents didn’t want him, so in his child’s mind, something must be wrong with him and who he is.   And now, you confirm to him that he must be right- it is his very being thatwas wrong- right down to his boy-ness.  And you offer him a solution that permanently solidifies this perception- you strip him of his genetic destiny to become something fantastical- a girl on the outside/ a boy on the inside.  How can he ever heal now?

He has not been made better by your experiment.  He looks far worse.  He looks completely and utterly confused.  One day, the fantasy of rainbows and birdies and unicorns will go away and all he will be left with is a body that has become deformed by the terrible drugs you are feeding him and God forbid, missing genitals that he was always meant to own.  How dare you do this to him?  You are worse than bad parents.  You are torturers, blasphemers, liars, cruel and bitter selfish women who if the world were as it should be, would be put directly into jail for your doings.

Ladies, I have very little hope that you will ever leave your accursed road of rebellion of God.  And therefore, I feel quite certain of your damnation.  So, it would naturally follow that since that appears to be your destination of your own free will that I should feel myself  spared any regret or sorrow whatsoever when you burn.  (oh, for you milquetoast Christians who shiver that I say this, get over it.)

Here are the three sad videos of ‘Tammy’ today:

“Why Is There ONLY One Way to God?” the People Whined.

Indeed. This reminds me of how people complain all the time when Christians say, “There is only one way to God”. People say, “WHY only one? Who says there’s ONLY one??” They never stop to consider the most salient point: why should there BE one at all? Whoever said mankind deserves to live any longer than the animals do? Who says we should have more than the world around us? Is not this one life enough? Did you not get what every animal got? A time to live, breath, love, breed, grow and then die? Whoever said humans should live forever? And if they got to live forever, whoever mandated that we deserve to live forever in JOY? In fact, who said that God should even be good? Could not our Maker have been evil? Couldn’t he have enslaved us instead of loved us? Everyone just assumes that God should be good and that mankind should live forever and because God must be good, that our everlasting life will be a joy. But really, why should any of this be? We are just LUCKY that it is this way! And we should be incredibly grateful for God being good and that he loved us enough to give us ANY way to eternal life in joy. Because there is no rule that said it could not have been otherwise. Ever thought of that?

Project Redemption: Create, Maintain & Grow a Christian Conservative Facebook Page

For those who have not heard, Short Little Rebel’s Facebook page was censored & dismantled by Facebook.  You can read about that in my other article, not here. I am writing this article to tell you all about a remarkable idea that came whole to me yesterday after praying to the Lord for guidance since Sunday.  Many have asked why I don’t just start another FB page & simply regather you all to it.  Good question!  The answer is easy:  because I have not felt prompted by God to do so.  In fact, I have felt a remarkable peace about the whole thing.  I feel God’s endearing hand on the entire situation!  I have been in peaceful prayer awaiting his will via the Holy Spirit.  Then, the Thursday after FB shut down my site, it hit me like a ton of bricks.  What he wants and the full plan to implement it!  And it is GLORIOUS!  So, I am writing this to you, all my readers, to share what the Holy Spirit spoke to me.

Beautiful Homosexuals Displaying Beautiful Homosexual Love While Attacking Priest

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Now, doesn’t this just warm your heart?  Doesn’t this just make you feel the plight of the poor, poor homosexual?  That neglected sector of the population who deserves special protection under the law?  Because they are the innocent victims of heterosexual rage?  Here, we have head of the Catholic Church in Belgium, Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard being assaulted   yesterday for daring to say that homosexuals should abstain from sex- as should all single people.  He has already been been taken to court on anti RACISM charges in 2007  for calling homosexual acts “abnormal”. In 2008 he was cleared of ‘homophobia’ charges after appearing in court.  While he was attending a university to debate the issue of blasphemy laws, these lovely ladies charged to the stage and doused the good priest in their version of ‘holy water’.  Of course, being the deep intellectuals they are, they used plastic Virgin Mary water bottles.  The priest is clearly guilty of rage, phobia and assault and the ladies clearly demonstrate the need to give homosexuals a special pass under the law.  Don’t you think?

World’s First Genetically Modified Babies Born

Read this article and be truly disgusted with human kind.  Today, we like to look back at Hitler and recount all the disgusting experiments the Nazi’s conducted on thier prisoners.  However, so-called ‘scientists’ have decided that because they, western scientists, do it in sterile labs and out in the open (at least Hitler had the decency to hide his atrocities), they are NOT monsters.  But they are.  They really, really are.  They don’t care how these new ‘humans’ will fare.  Nor do they care what they have just introduced into the human genome.  I have to wonder just how many genetically modified babies didn’t make it.  How many mutilated babies were ‘born’ before these succeeded?  Did they suffer in their deformities?  Were they put to death because they were a failed experiment?  Was that murder?  Aggravated assault?  What?  Jesus said that had the days not been cut short, not even the elect would survive.  God has to end this timeline of existence.  Because if He didn’t, we would just destroy ourselves.

by MICHAEL HANLON, Daily Mail

The world’s first geneticallymodified humans have been created, it was revealed last night.  The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics.  So far, two of the babies have been tested and have been found to contain genes from three ‘parents’.  Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey.  The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilised in an attempt to enable them to conceive.  Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults –two women and one man.

The fact that the children have inherited the extra genes and incorporated them into their ‘germline’ means that they will, in turn, be able to pass them on to their own offspring.  Altering the human germline – in effect tinkering with the very make-up of our species – is a technique shunned by the vast majority of the world’s scientists.  Geneticists fear that …. continue reading

Short Little Rebel Readers, Join Project Redemption!

Notice to the most passionate of my Short Little Rebel readers:  Come join Project Redemption on Facebook!   This is not a new Short Little Rebel page.  This is different.  When God removed me from my readers (using the turds at FB), I knew he had a plan- you & I know that no one can thwart God’s will.  Only his hand could do this.  I had even warned all of you several times that I felt he would do this soon- not to punish, but to grow his work.  He used Short Little Rebel to arouse and to deepen all of your commitment to his work.  When he felt you were ready, he removed your comfort zone!  And mine!  But he has replaced it with something much, much better!

I felt calm and prayed and just waited on the Lord.  Last Thursday, he revealed the plan, whole, which I have written down in detail and will be releasing soon.  It is exciting, to say the least.  I have created a new rallying point page on FB for the purpose of coordinating the launch of this project.  You will see why God removed SLR on FB.  You will see that by this move, he has glorified his name by a thousand fold from what my page, alone, could do.  If you wish to DO something in these troubled times to combat the evil that grips the world, then come.  But don’t come unless your commitment to the Lord is 100%.  I am gathering the most passionate of all Christians to this new page.  Like the battle of Midian, SLR readers are being boiled down to the most passionate.  And this group will do more than the whole of the rest.  After all, the Lord likes to show his glory and power through using only a few to change the world.  He boiled down Gideon’s army from 32,000 to 300!  And Jesus boiled down his thousands of followers to only 12.  Passion counts!  If you want to be a part of that group, I will see you at the new rally point for Project Redemption!

p.s.  For those of you who went there already and couldn’t find the ‘Friend’ button, oops!  It’s there now.

Short Little Rebel Readers- Meet Me At the New Facebook Rally Point!

Hey everyone, listen.  I have a new Rally Point Page on FB.  I am regathering my readers there to announce a new plan God has revealed to me.  Send me a friend request there.  See you soon!

Canyon Creek Recorded Service for April 21, 2013: GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN!

Facebook Has ‘Temporarily’ Disabled Short Little Rebel’s Account

Christians NOT Welcome!

I miss you, my readers. My family. I do.  The short story is this:  FB has called the REAL Short Little Rebel page the ‘fake’ page!  If the irony weren’t so rich, I would laugh.  They have asked for ID, which I have provided- many times, with no response from the FB team whatsoever.  Who knows if they will just leave the account in limbo like this forever?  I hope you all know that I would never just up and leave you like that.  No way.

Short Little Rebel’s View On Abortion

Ok!  Now that everyone has had a good nights sleep, I think we need to talk about what happened last night.  Much as I would like to act like it didn’t happen, it wouldn’t be right for me or for any of my readers that were seriously offended or ‘shocked’ that I could feel this way.  The thing I feel most compelled to address is some of your reactions to the news that as far as law goes, I would legal abortion for women at the very earliest stage of pregnancy.

I will tell you that I am shocked, not by your opinion but by your almost psychotic reaction to this information.  And the only reason I want to address that is because I feel, to my bone, that it was wrong.  Yes, wrong.  Bordering on hate.  There comes a time when passion turns into hate.  We have discussed every difficult topic known to man on this forum.  And not one person has ever lost their mind over it.  We have discussed the worst forms of depravity known to man- the worst being the hatred of God.  And no one lost their minds.  But this one topic sends some Christians into orbit.

Some of you began to treat me like the enemy.  Some thought it was so monstrous that I would allow a woman who has been raped by her father to abort the baby if she chose to that you became paranoid and thought someone evil had hacked my page!  Some thought I was the devil himself because I have enough compassion for a rape victim to make a decision between herself and God- and that she should be able to live through the abortion she will surely get no matter what the law says.  Some of you considered these ideas so monstrous that you refused to believe that Short Little Rebel, aka Susan Shannon, could possibly be saying it.

There is something wrong with that reaction.  There is.  And it is wrong.  It is wrong when people cease to be able to speak rationally.  It is wrong when you can love someone one moment and the very next moment consider them a monster of gigantic proportions.   Everything should be able to be discussed.  Everything.  When reason and calmness and logic are lost, so are the people who refuse to engage in them.  Self evaluation is required for all people who heckled, called names, called into question my salvation, etc.

I’m not saying that you need to get back to me or apologize or anything close to that.  I’m saying that you need to ask yourself how you can turn on a dime like that and be so completely unable to speak rationally.

Now, to clear some matters up.  I can promise you that not one of you knows my complete thoughts on this matter.  Why?  Because you would not hear them- you were incapable of hearing them.  But now, I will lay them out for you.  And I will NOT have a repeat of last night.  Last night occurred because some of you could not respect my request to not debate the issue.  The issue did not come up because I wanted to bring it up.  It came up due to a one line comment I made in a series of one line comments I made last night.  I made a comment that stressed the damnation of people who believed in mid/late term abortions.  But some of you sniffed the winds and like witch hunters, scented something in the wind.  The questions & outrage began.  You weren’t satisfied that I condemned these people, you NEEDED me to condemn all.  Do you think I will lie to you?  No.  Having been asked direct questions on my beliefs, I felt it necessary to create a separate post to deal with all the ‘outrage’ and ‘disappointment’ being expressed.

That is when all hell broke loose.  I never got to tell you my true feelings.  And now I will- and again, you will respect the fact that I feel this way and will refrain from calling me a baby killer, a murderer, etc.  Or you WILL be deleted once again today.  It will be a rational discussion- and we will not go into when a soul enters the body, nor will we all begin to quote scripture.  Because I promise you that I have considered all of it.  And I can answer all of it with a different way to see it.  And we will be left just where we are right now- at odds.  I will not convince you and you will not convince me.  So, we will not have a war about it.  This is a matter of me being honest with my readers.  And if my true self is unworthy of your friendship, then you must decide about being here.  I hope I am still found worthy in your eyes.  But I will not lie to retain your good will!

Now.  To the point.  Am I SURE about what I’m saying?  No.  Do I KNOW if abortion at the earliest stage, when it is a microscopic dot on the womb, is murder- or worse or less a murder than when a doctor does what Dr. Gossnell did?  No.  Do I KNOW what the bible or God thinks of this?  No.  In fact, I can wholeheartedly say that I could be totally wrong on this matter.  But I also know that this is an area that is also open to human compassion.  I also know that we are adults living in the real world with real world consequences.  As adults, we must eventually make laws that will best represent what we believe in morally.  Do I approve of abortion?  No.    Do I think it is moral?  No.  But I also know that the woman is not the only culprit.  In fact, I find the men to be the bigger culprit.  And when I see a community that will lose its mind and scream ‘baby killer!’ at a 13 year old victim of brutal incest without a word to the father of that girl, well… every fiber of my being says, “NO!”  I say, “NO!”  You are wrong when you do that, People.  I must go with my gut at this point.  Something is wrong with the mob at this point.  I know it and don’t need to prove it.

There is a terrible thing happening right now.  And it is far deeper than a young girl caught in a terrible circumstance.  We have forgotten the true nature of the male and the female.  This is the great lie.  Men want sex.  Women want love.  I will NOT debate this.  I need no study.  Those who say this is a lie are liars themselves.  So, don’t bother.  Women, especially young women, rarely orgasm- sexual maturity for women usually happens later on in life and in very trusting relationships.  Men get sexual satisfaction from the get go.  Thus, one must ask oneself, why do women sleep with men?  Answer:  because they are seeking love.  Men have lied to women about love as long as men and women have existed.  Again, don’t bother disputing.  I won’t listen.  We all need to grow up and admit reality.  Men lie to get women in bed.  And to keep them around ‘until they decide’ if they want to get married.  Women sleep with them because they BELIEVE the man’s words and his body.  They can’t fathom being coldly used for sex as this is completely foreign to the female character.  Again, I don’t want to hear stories of whorish women, ok?  This is the TRUTH of men and women.

In the old days, parents protected their girls from men who had NO INTENTION of marriage.  This was good.  In the old days, if a boy got a girl pregnant, the father & brother of that girl would go to end his life unless he would marry that girl.  And that was good.  And if that boy hurt the girl during the marriage, the father and brothers would beat the living day lights out of him.  And that was good.  Mothers used to tell the truth to their daughters about the nature of men.  It’s not that men are evil.  But it is that they can indeed have sex and contain not an ounce of love within their hearts.  Women can not.  Women feel SHAME with a one night stand.  Only desperate, hurting women HAVE one night stands.  Men can not only have a one night stand- but many.  Maybe some guilt.  But not the deep SHAME women feel.  And why do we feel shame?  Because we know WE have been used.  Not that we used the man.  And men?  Admit it.  Your guilt comes not from a deep shame of BEING used, but because you KNOW you used a woman for sex.

This is the TRUTH of the male/female condition.

So.  Men pressure for sex.  Women give in because they want to please the man- because she wants to keep him around.  And if the man lies that he loves her, the woman is more than willing to believe him.

And when the inevitable thing happens and she gets pregnant, women will only abort for one reason- she fears the man will either leave or will not support the baby and she will be left with all the responsibility and misery while he goes his merry way.  The woman is left with the terrible stigma of ‘whore’ to her parents, family & friends and the man becomes known as a ‘Playah’.  Enough to make me puke.  We are in the age of Baby Daddies.  And we are in the age of women so insecure, so completely unaware of their worth, that they think they need to beg a man to give her any money whatsoever for that baby.  The man has become the kingpin over the woman.

And all because of the ‘sexual revolution’ that was supposed to free a woman from sexual bondage.  Oh, how the men celebrated that day!  Because the cow just became free!  Sexual ‘freedom’ for women has created the very opposite- it has created sexual slavery for women.  And the very youngest of the females in western society have not yet realized their peril.  They realize it the day they get pregnant and the world turns on her as the man runs away, scott free.  She sees it then, oh yes, she does.

And what happened in society?  Did Christians drag the FATHER to court or demand punishment or payment from him?  NO!  He is left as a free man.

Do you want to know what the most selfish creature on God’s earth is?  A man who decides to NOT use a condom because he wants the MAXIMUM PLEASURE as he uses a woman he does not love for sex.  And then, when confronted with a baby, runs for the hills.  And he gets all the time in the world to repent (most don’t), make things right with God and then go on to build a beautiful family with a woman he DOES love.  Nice set up for the guy, huh?

The woman is the baby killer.  The woman is the murderer.  The woman is worthless.  The woman is left to die as she desperately seeks the abortion she WILL get.  All Christian judgement is poured down on her- the one who was LIED to by a man.  And who are her worst accusers?  Why, the religious and righteous CHRISTIAN community!  With men in there who during their own lifetimes slept with MANY women they did not love!  And women who hate themselves so much that they can’t fathom that they deserved BETTER, by God’s own decree, from men!  Women who hate themselves are as bad as the men who despise women.  Christians, all.

I have been thinking- alot- about the woman that Jesus had such compassion for.  The woman who committed adultery.  Jesus let her go for many reasons, I’m sure.  But one reason is this:  he knew the sheer hypocrisy of the men in that crowd- all holding stones, ready to kill that woman.  The Jewish law said that BOTH the man and the woman should be killed for adultery.  But where was the man?  No where!  And why?  Because that hypocritical group of men EXCUSED him while they held the woman to the law.  There was no justice there.  And there is no justice in this quarter of the Christian population.

I have a lovely brother (can’t help it- didn’t choose him) who is one of those lovely Christians.  He has mercilessly slept with an army of women.  He considers himself quite a catch!  (gag).  He has been married and divorced FOUR TIMES.  He has NEVER cared for his offspring.  He is a shirker of the worst kind.  He beat and tortured every wife and both his sons.  Both sons are emotional basket cases and are in trouble with drugs, alcohol and the police.  He never visited nor did he send money.  And yet.  And yet.  He is the LOUDEST screamer of ‘murderer!’ , ‘baby killer!’ there is.  He is, hands down, the most hateful person I know.  Sadly.  But he goes to church!  He, who is over 50 years old, still blames his mommy and daddy for all his troubles.  Oh, and let’s not forget all his blame for each and every woman he beat into submission.  The reason he failed to care for his offspring is:  The mothers were bad people.

Now, in my book, that doesn’t fly.  A grave injustice has been done!  I won’t have it!  The day I see Christians condemn the MAN as the true perpetrator for abortion is the day I will be satisfied.  HE was the loser, the liar and the one who couldn’t be man enough to make that woman feel secure enough in his emotional and financial commitment so that she felt the need to protect herself through abortion.  HE was the pursuer.  He was the driving force behind the sex to begin with.  HE got the ball rolling.  It was HIS orgasm, wasn’t it, that caused the pregnancy?  It was ultimately HIS responsibility to use protection- and if he didn’t, then HE needs to man up.

And really.  I don’t CARE if the man looooooves her.  I’m also sick of THAT notion!  All this loooooove.  This ooey, gooey loooooove.  If love is all it took for a marriage to succeed, then why are there over 50% of couples divorced?  They ALL started in ooey, gooey loooooove!   Marriage is a decision.  You know it and I know it.  We decide to be married and we live by that decision.  If not, arranged marriages could never have worked.  Decision, and not so much love, is what makes a successful marriage.  A man who decides, like a good God fearing man does, to marry a woman to take care of his own offspring can and will have a successful marriage with a woman.  Even if he didn’t begin with love.  Same with her.  There are consequences to breaking God’s laws.  For both people.  To make it right is to die to your life.  And do what is right.

As I said earlier.  The day I will change my mind about the earliest days of pregnancy is the day I see Christians pressing for a law that will throw a man in prison for LIFE, no chance of parole, if he will not marry AND financially support the baby he created.  AND a secondary law that allows the brothers & father of a wife to beat a man within an inch of his life if he fails to properly be a good husband and father to his new family.  No criminal charges on the ones who beat him.  Then, I will change my mind.  Because here is what I know:  no woman would WANT an abortion any more.  The problem would be solved right there and then.  Women would celebrate across the free world!

And how about you parents?  Why aren’t you teaching your girls and boys about the reality of the sexes?  And teach them how best to handle this reality?  Where are the fathers of boys telling them about their sex drive and their responsibility that goes with it?  And mothers?  How many talked openly to their daughters about the reality of men & women and WHY keeping the knees together was actually helpful in finding and keeping a man in marriage?  Why did you only couch it in religious terms?  Why didn’t you explain that if a girl keeps her knees together, the bad men will leave quickly and the ones worth keeping will stick around?

And parents, why didn’t you tell your girls you would financially and emotionally support them no matter what?  Why do young girls feel terrified that their parents will think they are failures, whores, and losers if they get pregnant?

How about all you divorced people who are currently living in adultery according to God?  How many of YOU are standing with your pointed finger, with your stone, and calling the woman the ‘baby killer’?  Yeah, right.  Hypocrites.

Here is what I know about women.  We are born with a craving need to have and love a baby.  NO woman would willingly abort a baby if she had a man who loved her and was willing to do his job and take care of it.  That is what I know.  Are there some evil women?  Yes.  But 99% of us are driven by our maternal instinct.  We love babies.  If we didn’t, human kind could never have survived this long.

If you want JUSTICE in the world, you had better look at the WHOLE problem.  Not just look at the one girl at the end who is desperate enough to have an abortion.  IF you are serious about ending this terrible tragedy, then we need rational adults willing to rationally address it.  Not people who lose their minds because they can’t exercise some level of self discipline.  Those of you who screamed the loudest last night- the ones who had the nerve to say that pregnancy through rape and incest was somehow God intended- well, I hate to think how your young girls would react if they got pregnant.  I think they would be terrified to tell you.

Because of these issues that LEAD to a desperate girl, yes, I will leave the law open for the very earliest stage.  If I could, I would only give two weeks for this decision.  Technology would be the determining factor.  The earliest possible detection + two weeks.  I’m not a doctor.  I don’t know how to calculate that.  I am not saying it is right.  I am saying that the girl WILL seek an abortion and I have compassion enough in my heart to allow her to live through it- with fertility in tact.  I am willing to leave it between her and her Maker at that point.  I am not willing to condemn her to death.  That is the bottom line.  I must decide on a law.  I can’t put my head in the sand.  I HATE abortion.  And I know one thing- mid/late term abortions must end.  And I am willing to pragmatically move toward that end.  But it will continue unabated while judgmental, militant, hard hearted ‘religious’ Christians refuse dialog on the subject.  And refuse to look at the source of the problem:  men refusing to wear a condom because they are seeking maximum pleasure as they use a woman for sex.  Those who wish to continue down their despotic road on the subject are just as guilty as that girl who has the abortion.  Because you could have stopped the worst of it.  But stood on misplaced ‘principle’ in such a prideful way that you would not even try.

That is my full feeling on the topic.

DHS Trains Law Enforcement That Christians Are Domestic Terrorists

The Utah Data Center- The place where ‘Dangerous Christian Terrorists’ are born.

Friends, do you remember my article about Obama’s 23 Executive Orders that he passed, unilaterally, after Sandy Hook?  I told you that Obama gave Eric Holder the ability to create new ‘labels’ for U.S. Citizens.  One of these labels has been announced as ‘Dangerous Person’.  No definition was given for this new category of U.S. citizens- but Holder has been given the green light to define it and create as many more as he sees fit.  Each of these new categories of people can now be treated differently by the government and by the police.  Example:  one of the executive orders will ensure that a list of  ‘dangerous people’ in a neighborhood will be distributed to the local police who will receive special hand held devices for such purpose.  Why would they need to know who the ‘dangerous people’ are in the neighborhood?  Especially if they have never committed a crime in their lives?

The citizen has no right whatsoever to know if they have been so labeled.  No Congressional oversight whatsoever is required.

In light of that, I find it interesting that Ron Trowbridge, a Sheriff of Prowers County, CO. participated in a  DHS training course and then claimed that the troopers had been taught that ‘fundamentalist Christians who take the Bible literally’ are ‘dangerous people’ and that local law enforcement should keep a ‘special eye’ out on us.  (*ahem*  is this not a perfect application of those aforementioned ‘categories’ Holder is cooking up?)  Specifically, they were taught that we bible thumpin’ racists would be more prone than the average pagan to joining a thing called, ‘The Sovereign Citizen Movement”, which is considered to be a domestic terrorist group.    Nice, huh?

Let’s just get past the outrage of that statement and move on to the more important question:  How will Eric Holder know if we are bible thumpers and should be labeled ‘dangerous people’- you know, so the local police can quickly identify us?  Well, blogging and facebooking for one.  Did you know that the government (National Security Agency) already stores every email, tweet, text and FB post you have ever written?  Yep- right there in the new Utah Data Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.   Thanks to George Bush, the Patriot Act allowed that years ago.  And with the new Cybersecurity Bill( CISPA) making its way happily through Congress, they will gain even more power over your private data.  All they have to do is search posts that include the search terms ‘Jesus’ & ‘God’ the ‘Bible’ too often.  And trouble makers like me?  Forget about it.  I’m sure they have a special category especially for people like me.

Heck, Obama 23 executive orders also ties you health record (gee, I wonder if any of those pee samples you gave contain any DNA??) &  gun purchases into the determination of your ‘category’!  What more is there to know about you and your family?  They know where you live (oh, yeah, all billing info is also in your medical records), they know your various phone numbers, who all your kin are and even who to call for an ‘emergency’- probably your best friend or neighbor who can be tortured to find you.  Heck.  Have you ever had your eyes examined?  Nice retena scan.  Photos?  Just check out passports & drivers licenses- also linked together.

Now, I want you to imagine what kind of scenario would need to be underway for cops with handheld devices needed to see who all the ‘dangerous people’ are in the neighborhood.   I also want you to consider the fact that the LIBERALS are insisting on armed teachers.   I want to you consider the fact that another of those 23 executive orders is to put a police unit around every single American school.  Guess what?  They will all have hand held units with local ‘dangerous people’ on them.  Photos & medical records and all.  Do you take any kinds of drugs for mental or emotional issues?  hmmm…. sounds ‘unstable’ to me!  Hmmmm… maybe you are a dangerous fundamentalist who takes the Bible literally… hmmm… maybe your kids belong to the Community Collective now (see video below) …  hmmm….. maybe during the next terrorist attack, your schools will be locked down and all potentially ‘dangerous’ people won’t be allowed near that school… hummmm…

Here is my advice.  For those with kids in public schools, keep a REAL sharp eye on current events.  Don’t send them to school if the political environment gets too hot.  They might just not come home again.

Meanwhile… all the news media can say is, “Oh!  Look! Look!  N. Korea is going to nuke us!”  Yeah.

An excerpt from the article:

“While Kluczynski [DHS trainer] emphasized that sovereign citizens have a right to their beliefs, he was clearly teaching that the groups he had listed should be watched by law enforcement and should be treated with caution because of their potential to assault law enforcement.  Kluczynski explained why he believed these groups were dangerous saying they were angry over the election of a black president.  When someone in the group suggested the failing economy was probably much more to blame, Kluczynski intimated that those who are not going along with the changes in America will need to be controlled by law enforcement.  Kluczynski even later questioned some of the troopers present if they were willing and prepared to confiscate “illegal” weapons if ordered to.”

 

Why Does Jesus’ Death & Ressurection Equal My Salvation & Are Christians Still ‘Under The Old Testament LAW’?

Are the Ten Commandments DEAD? REALLY?

Humans most certainly do still live under ‘The Law’! Many people completely misunderstand Apostle Paul’s letters stating that ‘The Law’ brings death and that only through Christ’s grace can we be saved.  They believe that this means that the entire Old Testament is no longer ‘valid’.  Nothing could be more false!  Although the Law of Moses condemns us, it doesn’t mean the Law is wrong or that it is now invalid.  The law simply points out the blaring fact that we are utter failures- fully sinful failures!  We, through all our efforts can never meet the requirements of the law.  That is the lesson it teaches us!  But God’s law still stands- convicting every person to this day.  That is why we are so joyful to have Jesus’ great gift of salvation!

Now that I have your attention, let me say this:  the phrase, “The Law is Dead” is yet another paraphrase I hate and want to throw in the garbage can.  Like ‘sin is sin’, ‘turn the cheek’, ‘hate the sin, love the sinner’, ‘don’t judge’ & ‘love your neighbor’, the phrase, ‘The Law is Dead” has become so abused, over used and misapplied that people will use it to justify any and all sin described in the Old Testament.  The attempt to justify homosexuality is the number one way this phrase is being bandied about today in American culture.  Without a proper understanding of Paul’s letters (from which this paraphrase is gleaned), a modern Christian will have no idea how to respond to or witness effectively to a liberal progressive who says, “The law is dead.  So, homosexuality is no longer an abomination to God.  Jesus said that we are now to just love one another and not judge one another.  Jesus never said homosexuality was wrong! Therefore, since The Law is Dead, you have no biblical basis to tell me it’s wrong.  It just makes you a judgmental hater.  Which is what Jesus hated.”  Friends, the vast majority of you will not be able to answer that false statement because you do not understand what Paul was talking about.  Therefore, I have written this article for you.  So that you may witness effectively when called on to do so.  Enjoy.

———————————————–
Let’s be very precise here, shall we? Jesus made it extremely clear that he did not come to negate the law but to fulfill it.  And he said that not one pen stroke will be lost until the end of time. He further warns that anyone trying to negate one pen stroke will be the least in the kingdom of heaven.  He said in Matt 5:

“17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. “

So, how do we, as Christians believe these words by our King and the words of Paul in Galatians 3:23-25 when he says,

“²³ Before the coming of this faith,we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. ²⁴ So the law was our guardian [some versions say Teacher] until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian [Teacher].”?

Does this mean that the Law, (and for some mistaken people, the entire Old Testament) is now a mere suggestion?  A ‘teaching’ point?  Somewhat irrelevant?  And if so, how does that square with what Christ said?  The bible does not contradict itself.  Jesus is not contradicting Paul.  We need to understand the total meaning- and we don’t get to remove their words to do it!  If it doesn’t jibe, it’s a failure in our own understanding.  We need to read the entire Bible sometimes and we need to seek the big picture and we need to pray for wisdom before we can answer this question.
_____________________

When you read Paul’s letters you will see that he specifically addressed the Jewish laws concerning sacrifices & rituals (and the priesthood which administered them) which they used to do in order to atone for their sins and to purify themselves of their sins before God. They were circumcised, they only ate certain foods, they had a million laws about the Sabbath, they had a million laws about cleanliness/ uncleanliness – all related to being made righteous and blameless before God- to eliminate the stain of sin which separates them from the purity of God.   There is something about our sinful nature that prohibits us from residing in the presence of God.  We need to be made ‘right’ somehow, someway if we want to be near God in heaven.

Paul specifically said that those rites, rituals, blood sacrifices & cleanliness rules (and thus, the priesthood) were no longer needed because Christ’s body & blood are so much more worthy than any bird, cow, grain, etc could ever be.  In fact, his loving sacrifice of himself, in obedience to God, is so very worthy, that God chose to honor him above all others.  He gave Jesus the full authority to simply proclaim us as clean and righteous before God- regardless of our good works- or our bad works.So, Paul didn’t state that ALL of the law is gone- he simply said that it never could save us and that it  never will save us.  And that Jesus had come to give us another way- a better way, a possible way.   Thus, Jesus’ gift negated the need to do all those old rituals anymore.

But you will never here Paul say that the moral commands of God are wrong or gone in any way!  The Old Testament still stands.  And the Law (think 10 commandments) still stands.  If it were not so, then why do we need Christ?  Indeed, we are still not to commit adultery, not to kill, not to bear false witness, etc.  The only change is that when we fail, it does not bear on our salvation!  How wonderful for us!  We can now fail and still be saved!  This is Jesus’ gift to us- which he earned through his obedience at the cross.

Our salvation, thank God Almighty, no longer depends on our ability to be perfect!  Our salvation is a gift with much more do-able requirements- a simple faith in Christ.  Also, to go out and lay down our lives so that others can also receive this incredible gift.

 But because God’s morality most certainly still stands, we don’t get to just sin and sin and sin and think Christ’s blood will make it all better!  Do that, and you begin to mess with the graciousness of Christ.  That is why Christ said,

” 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.” John 15:9-10

All the commandments of God are still the commandments of God- or Jesus wouldn’t have said that he ‘keeps’ them. Jesus also confirmed the viability of God law by stating which laws were the greatest.  If no law is in effect, why did he teach us about the two most important ones?

³⁶ “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” ³⁷ Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’^{[c] 38} This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’^{[d] 40} All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”- Matt 22:36-40

Within the Old Testament, we learn how God views sexual immorality, pride, arrogance, evil, greed, etc.  ALL stands today!

Paul wrote that the Law was not given to save, but to condemn.  I take that literally.  God gave us the law so that we will know, without a shadow of a doubt, that we are hopeless sinners.  He knew we could never do what he required to obtain perfection in his sight.  God never expected us to be saved through the law.  That was his purpose for giving the law in the first place!   God had always intended to give us Christ for our salvation!  Why?  Because he so loved us from the very beginning!

God prepared the world for over 1,500 of years before Christ came.  God made sure, through over a millennium, though generations and generations of men, that mankind ‘got it’ that we are hopeless by giving us the law and then letting us utterly fail.  God intended it to be a heavy, impossible burden that would become ingrained in the cultural consciousness of his People.   Yes, God let mankind dwell in the misery and frustration of failure so that we could receive Christ with joy!  Our God is mighty!

Then, when it became culturally ingrained in man that we were hopeless sinners, Paul writes about the time being ripe to send our salvation:

⁴ But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.^{[b] 6} Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,^[c] Father.” ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.- Gal 4:4-7

God timed Jesus’ birth perfectly.  When mankind was ready through their futile battle with the law, he sent redemption in the form of a gracious, merciful GIFT .  If we were not completely convinced of our sinfulness and our deep, irreparable separation from God because of it, we could not have understood this gift for what it was:  an incredible act of love from God.

He sent his son to provide an easier path to God.  Not the torture of the law anymore.  God, through Christ, gave us a way to come to him, to be permanently washed clean so that we can reside with him.  God said that our sins will be forgotten as if they never were.  And why?  Because when we die, we cease to be tempted by Satan.  Once Jesus gives us a pass into heaven, we are remade- we become permanently righteous and clean before God and will remain so forever.  We cannot fall out of grace again!  That is the ‘second death’ we will avoid on Judgement Day!  To that end, God gave Jesus, not himself, the full power and authority to remake us in this way- according to Jesus’ will.  Not God’s will.  For by God’s estimation, we are sinful.  His law proves that.  But because Jesus so pleased his Father through his obedience on the cross, God gave this authority to him.  To simply pronounce us righteous, even though we are not.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. ²¹ For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. ²² Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

²⁴ “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. ²⁵ Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. [He became the Son of Man when he was born as fully human as well as fully divine.  His obedience to come and be killed is why he has been given authority.]

ONLY because the law convicts us to death does Jesus’ gift make sense.  Thus, the law that convicts us still stands.  Those who idiotically refuse the gift of Christ will not have him there in front of God while Satan is standing there, day in and day out condemning us for what we really did do!  They will be found wanting because the Law is still standing!  But they won’t have Christ there to testify for them!  Thus, they will most certainly and righteously be damned by God’s righteous law.    This is what Jesus meant when he said, I will testify for you before my father!  He literally will testify for each of us.

³² “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. ³³ But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.“- Matt 10:32-33

10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:

“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser [Satan] of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.

11They [us!] triumphed over him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony; [obedience to Christ's Great Commission]
they did not love their lives so much [lay down your lives for your friends]
as to shrink from death. -Rev. 12: 10-11

 

If we meet his condition of believing in him and giving up our lives for each other, (much easier than God’s conditions as written in The Law), he will say, “Not so, Father.  This is Susan.  She is my servant.  I am well pleased with her.  I claim the authority you gave me to raise her up and to allow her entry into your kingdom.  Because she believed in me and served me as I commanded, she is righteous.  Because that is the deal we have made.  My obedience to you provided me with this authority.  You are the God of promise and you will honor me by taking my testimony over Satan’s about Susan.” And God, because he is so very well pleased with Jesus, will indeed honor his Son’s testimony and authority in the matter.  And I will receive my new life and my new body and I can then reside near and with God forever more.  How.  Marvelous. Is THAT???

All of this information is throughout the Bible.  From many books.  From many verses.  From both the Old Testament and the New Testament.  The Holy Spirit has revealed this to me in the form of sudden enlightenment when I was reading Paul’s letters.  It hit me like a ton of bricks.  It answers the question of why Jesus died for us and how that provides salvation for us.  It makes the puzzle pieces come together perfectly.  This truly excites me.  I just wanted to share it with you!

Are Your Friends & Family Starting To Hate You? Congratulations!

They called Jesus a hater, a trouble maker, satanic, mentally ill, a liar, a hypocrite. So of COURSE they will call you the same!

Are you experiencing friction from friends and family because you testify truly about the Words & commands of God and Christ? Are even Christian friends calling you a hater?  Are they ‘praying for you’ to be rid of satan in your heart? Great!  That means you are right on target in your service to God.  Jesus knew full well that 1) loving him and obeying his command to go OUT and tell the good new would cause us to be hated and 2) that many would call themselves Christians but really weren’t.

Observe how Jesus predicted the reactions of strangers, friends and even family:

34“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’c

37“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”

So, for those people (usually fake Christians) who tell you that you are ‘dividing’ the church or hurting other Christians, etc, you can see that Jesus never promoted a false peace over the truth.

______________________

Observe WHY you are being hated and slandered:  “18“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’b If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. “

Remember, they called Jesus satan filled, mentally ill, evil, a trouble maker, an upstart, etc.  He let us know ahead of time that we would also be falsely accused of all these things too.

_________________________________

Jesus KNEW there would be many, many false Christians.  In fact, he said that VERY FEW would find heaven.  He was not kidding.  Observe our King’s words concerning false Christians, “21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Notice that love for Jesus = OBEYING Jesus.  Thus, all those nice Christians who are bashing you as evil or call YOU a false Christian because you will not accept this new ‘tolerance’ of sin being found in so many false churches, they are known by their obedience or disobedience to Jesus & God’s commands.  Jesus specifically wrote that marriage is between a man & woman.  Those who will choose their own version of ‘right vs. wrong’ must beware.  Those who OBEY Christ demonstrate their love & loyalty to him and will be greatly rewarded.  Those who are ‘tolerant’ Christians are loved by the world.  Thus, they are OF the world.

_______________________________

Rest assured that if you witness for Christ and someone hates you for it, you are serving him. In fact, when men love you, beware. Observe his words on this,

“22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.

23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

24 “But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.”

So.  If your life becomes a shambles because you merely read your bible and obey Gods commands, congratulations!  Because you have greatly pleased our King, Jesus!  And he will stand before God on judgement day and when satan lists every evil thing you did to God (which you really did do), Jesus will say, “Not so, Father!  This person served me well.  He/she is FIT for your kingdom.  You have given me this authority and so I say it.  And God, out of pleasure and honor of his son for obeying HIS commands, will honor Jesus’ testimony and not satan’s.  All your sins will be completely FORGOTTEN by God and you will move forward as a perfect servant of God in our new world.  Not so bad, right???

Standing Up For God’s Commands Is What Gives Life Meaning

Jesus laid down his life for us to have everlasting life. Now we need to do the same for our fellow man.

Friends I have been receiving quite a few messages from you about posting your stance in protection of God’s definition of marriage. And they are all very beautiful! While you are catching some heat from some, many of you are seeing people be saved and confirmed in their faith! Just by your willingness to stand up for Christ! How EXCITING for you to see the power of true witness in your life! When you see that YOU and your small suffering actually helped someone you love either come to Christ or helped to confirm a struggling, weak Christian in their faith, you have been BLESSED and will never stop fighting for the souls around you- no matter what torment you might receive. So, here is my response to all of you who have been so blessed:

See? What is one man’s soul worth? Ask that and you will be willing to take all the abuse in the world. For all you know, your example saved your friend and has set her on a course to true discipleship in Christ. And if so, she will produce 100 fold for Christ. THAT is one soul is worth! And each of those will produce 100 fold! There is literally no other reason to live after we find Christ for ourselves except to help others find him. This life is passing away so quickly. Nothing on earth has any meaning- including having children. What I mean is so many people have kids in order to have meaning. When those kids turn out to be difficult or ingrates or even reject the person, they feel their life was purposeless. Children are worth it if we bring them to serving Christ. Then they will produce a hundred fold each (as well as delight us during our lives). I like when King Solomon said,

“2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”

3 What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.

He lived before Christ. In his great wisdom, all he could see was the sheer meaningless of existence. In the end, it broke him. But we are blessed, because we have known the great gift of Christ. Our meaning is to love one another as he loved us. To lay down our lives, as he laid down his, to help them to find the same treasure in the field. We now know that this world passes away and that it is not our true life. It is but a testing ground. The place where birthed humans mature into God’s children. Without the testing ground, without the choice between satan & God, we are not yet born again as God’s eternal children. We remain grounded on earth, doomed to die after our bodies are spent. God gave us a great gift. First, he gave us mere existence- this is something he does not begrudge anyone- not even those who are evil and hate him. These mere 80 or so years are free- a gift from our Maker. But the TRUE life he meant for us, to live beside him as powerful new beings- our true selves meant to live for trillions upon trillions of years in glorious LIFE- this was provided so generously by our Father in the form of his Son. Some say, “why is there ONLY one way to eternal life?” I say, “who said you even deserved ONE way? You are most favored by God to get ANY way to get that precious gift of eternal life!”

We are the most favored of God’s creations. We have creative powers, we have choice and now, with the coming of Jesus, we have the ability to live forever. Really, what more can a man ask for? Poor Solomon was depressed. He had lived too long and knew too much. But we have the HOPE of Christ- of whom this entire week we CELEBRATE. Let us not forget how very, very loved we are. Let us not forget how very favored by God we are…

Thank You, King Jesus, For You Have Brought Me Redemption

Thank you, King Jesus!  For on this day, you brought the kingdom of heaven to us.  Today is the day that you redeemed us from certain death, decreed by God.  Because you loved God so much and because you loved us so much, you did this thing.  You allowed your body to be beaten and hung on a torturous cross.  Oh!  Would we do that for you?  Would we, King Jesus?  We are ashamed of our cowardice, Lord.  And because we are so ashamed, we bless you and love you for this gift to us.  Without you, we would die the death that is the just punishment for sin.  Thank you, thank you, thank you…

Friends, I have written some difficult articles lately.  I am fully aware of that.  I have shown you the fierceness of God and the holy judgement of Christ.  I have proven, through scripture that the wages for sin is death- and that our God will most certainly deliver that punishment to those who are unworthy.  I posted an article that dispelled the modern Christian notion that Christ love is the same as human love.  It is not.  It is to lay down your life and to be hated for Jesus’ name sake.   That the milquetoast ideology of ‘don’t judge’, ‘love the sinner, hate the sin’, ‘love your neighbor’ is not biblical- and is, in fact, hogwash.   I have called on you all to condemn homosexuality during a week when our Supreme Court of all the Land is hearing two cases to decide whether God’s definition of marriage should be overturned.  Oh!  The arrogance of man!  Imagine that a court of men will judge God this week!  We are unworthy of God.  Especially if we, his children, are too terrified to even chirp to those in our own lives about this sheer audacity!   And so very many of you could not handle it.  And you condemned me for delivering the scripture to you.

Look what Jesus did for you!  He suffered- more than you will ever suffer.  He was alone with hate all around him, posted shamefully high for all to see, as his life ebbed from his body- this is more hate than any of you will ever experience.  He ultimately died- which most of you would never do for him.  Or for anyone.  Most of you are too cowardly to even stand up for God’s definition of marriage.  You know why, too.  You know that the moment you open your mouth to your friends, your co-workers, your family and in your church, you will be hated, mocked, cursed and called every name in the book.  You’ve seen it happen to others.  And so… you rationalize it away.  But you know you are a coward.  And you know you are unworthy.  And that is why you curse me and the true word of God.  You just didn’t like what it meant for you.

But look at that picture!  Jesus forgave you and me anyway!  Despite our cowardice.  Despite our lack of honor, integrity or truth!  There he is- doing what you would not do!  Look at him!  Do not turn away.  See the king who came and allowed his majestic self be hung- for you, all little cowards….

Today is our REDEMPTION!  Rejoice!  Because this thing in the photo?  It is why you will someday stand righteous before God!  This is how much God loves you!  You snarled to hear his true nature!  Oh!  How many of you cursed at my article that showed God’s great anger toward men when they sin so foully.  Oh!  You want to make a ‘new God’ that you think is more loving, more fair… more acceptable!  You try to put your own spin on what God really is!  On what Jesus really said!  Shame on all who do this!  Because what you see in that photo is God’s love-  I ask you, would you take your baby son and would you offer him to a bunch of complete ingrates, whom you knew would murder him?  Would you order your own son to allow himself to be ridiculed by cowards who would never even so much as defend him in their private circles??  Think about it!  How dare you criticize God?  How dare you say that he is too harsh or too unloving.  How dare you try to put a blanket over his true nature!

This is God’s love.  It is a love of which none of us is capable.  So, please.  Save your platitudes for some other sucker.  God hates sin.  And sometimes he hates the sinner.  But he has more love in one breath than you, in all your human version of love could ever contain in your body.  He has more love in one of his breaths than all of mankind could contain within all their bodies throughout all time!  God hates our sin- he does.  And sometimes he hates the sinner.  But his love far outweighs his hate.  And this, Jesus’ body on the cross, proves his love.  So.  Close your mouth.  And be humbled.  Stop questioning God.  Stop judging him.  Stop thinking human beings can ever love more than him.  Just be humbled, People.  Just accept him for who he is.  Just accept both his justice and his love….

Just stop….. and listen…

On this day, Jesus was put on trial. He was called a liar, a trouble maker, Satan possessed, a hater, a rebel, a criminal, a conspirator, dangerous to society, insane and worthy of death. On this day, Jesus laid down his life for his friends. He had spoken only the living truth of God. He spoke to help all human kind wake up and see that he had come to provide a Way to God! No one could say these words more perfectly, more kindly, more lovingly than Jesus- because he was perfect in every way. And yet, the world hated him. Oh, they hated him. Sure they thought they had their reasons. The ex-followers of Jesus were disappointed in him. He failed to deliver them from the Romans. To them, he was a fraud- and so deserved death. The politicians were terrified that he would cause the People to see how very evil they were and so they first sought to mock him. When that didn’t work, they sought to silence him. When that didn’t work, they sought to kill him. Serving God is to be hated by the world. Jesus proved that. It was tough on Jesus. But being a perfect son of God, he obeyed God’s will. And so God loved and honored him above every other. Because Jesus so pleased God, God gave him the full authority to speak up and testify for every one of us. Satan will stand before God and list all the things we really did do and show how we are truly unfit for God’s Kingdom. But Jesus, the beloved son of God, will stand and say, “not so, Father. This person is worthy of your kingdom. For they served me and they pleased me. Therefore, they are fit for the kingdom of God.” And God will honor his son, who so pleases him, above Satan and will forget anything wrong or sinful thing we ever did and will give us a new body and will welcome us to his presence. Those who rejected Christ will stand with only Satan to testify for them. And they will be condemned.

The politicians thought they had killed Jesus. Little did they know that they were mere common use pots whom God used to provide us with a CHANCE at everlasting life. If Jesus was not murdered so publicly, then his resurrection would never have happened. And had his resurrection not happened, he would never have shown his power. That he has power and authority over death and over evil. Also, he would never have been able to show the entire world what would happen to us on our own resurrection day. We would never have been shown such HOPE for our own life. Jesus is the first to be resurrected. His new body is remarkable. The disciples got to see him in his new form. And we have received testimony of it. This is hope! Beautiful hope! And it is proof that everything Jesus said was true. Those politicians believed that their evil had won. But God had actually used their evil to create a glorious hopeful new covenant for all human beings.

On this Friday, let us reflect on what Jesus did. How he loved us. And then let us reflect on what what he meant when he said that we should love each other AS HE HAD LOVED US. He gave his life, Friends. That’s what he did. And that is what we must do for our fellow man. They WILL consider us as crazy, hateful and indeed, they will say we are of satan. That we are trouble makers to our society. But remember what Jesus said,

“24“The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household!

Lastly, let us remember his blessing on all who are hated for his name. Let us be greatly comforted!

““Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.

22Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.

23“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

24“But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.

Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.”- Luke 6:20-26

People.  We suck.  We don’t deserve this love.  For we are all cowards before God.  But accept this gift.  Accept it in humility.  Accept it and be thankful.  Ask for forgiveness for your shortcoming as I will do for mine.  And be blessed.  Be blessed.  For our God so love the world that he gave his only Son, so that all who believe in him shall not perish, but have eternal life, Amen.
