The Law of Exclusivity

Posted in Christian values, Truth by

I don’t know if it exist yet. If not it should. I am declaring it now. It is as obvious as gravity. I mean, how can something be both true and false at the same time. Besides, the sound of it has a certain ring to it.

The fact of it is that it rings true. If it’s a hot day, it can’t be cold. If it is clear and sunny, it can’t be raining, leastwise in the same place at the same time. If a thing is good, it can’t be evil. If you’re going west, you can’t be going east. Well, that one is open to discussion. That is what Columbus tried to do.

It does seem strange, but the world’s scientist were convinced that we were going through a process of global cooling. Then, after a few years, it was global warming. Then, unable to make up their minds, they decided it was climate change. That is where it is getting hot or cold, depending on the weather of the day and where you live. And, of course, woe to the scientist that says otherwise, you know. All must accept the “fact” that the weather is getting cooler and warmer all at the same time.

The Dems are good at getting something to be good or evil at the same time. If you ask any of the leaders, they will tell you of the evils of guns. On the other hand, if your name’s Hunter Biden, the current gun laws don’t apply to you. Makes me wonder if I should change my name to Hunter Biden.

I guess the one thing that mystifies me the most though, is the way the Dems defy any effort to bring God into our public life, especially schools and courts. According to them, there is no God, you know. And then, come a disaster, natural or man made, suddenly they are asking one and all to pray for those suffering from it.

It does somewhat confuse and irk me, they don’t want us to pray to prevent the disaster, but they love so much to encourage prayer for recovery.

The fact is, God either exists or he doesn’t. He is not something to be turned on and off based on convenience. The Law of Exclusivity demands, you either believe in Him or you don’t.

The best thing, make sure you have made the right decision before you die. If you realize the truth after, you will also realize it is too late. Today is the time of your salvation. Now is your chance at eternal life. If you don’t accept it while you yet live, then you will have eternal death.

That is a fact of exclusivity. You cannot be lost and saved at the same time. If you have not been saved, then you are lost. Certainly, if you deny God and his Son, Jesus Christ, then you have committed the greatest sin of all and you will pay for it forever.

Save Us From the Experts

We all know the definition of the expert: someone who knows a whole lot about very little.

Throughout the pandemic, we were being given advice and direction by people who were called experts. Throughout the epidemic of AIDS we got advice and direction from the experts. In both cases, in every step along the way, they were wrong. Millions of lives were lost in both cases directly and indirectly as a result of following their guidance. In both cases, they are batting a thousand at being 100% wrong. They not only caused the death of millions but also about destroyed our economic system and our education system.

Now, with the bird flue, do we really want to follow their guidance again. Do we really want to put our lives in their hands. As for me, I don’t think so. It would appear to me that the experts are more dangerous than the diseases.

Recognizing False Prophets

Posted in Christian values, Truth by

I wish there was some way of easily recognizing false prophets, you know, like a requirement where a shirt with the label, “FALSE PROPHET,” on their shirts. Unfortunately, it is not that easy.

Nonetheless, there are some things we can do that make it somewhat simpler. May I write a quick word on history here, perhaps something you already know.

From about 300 AD and for centuries after, the Catholic Church taught that the common man should not read the Bible. There reason sounds logical. They said the Bible was to complex and difficult to read. II Timothy 2:15 says “Study the Word to show yourself approved.”

This is one of the primary way of finding a false profit, or at least a false teacher. They will discourage you, even forbid you to read the Bible. This, of course, is completely opposite to the above package and it cannot be argued, at all. The teaching by the Catholic Church was clearly wrong. Anytime that anyone or any organization says something different, or as in this case, opposite, they are teachings are false and the Bible specifically says not to believe them, at all.

Then, of course, if you don’t read the Bible, how do you know this? I mean, don’t take my word for it. Please read it yourself. I don’t ever, ever want you to take my word for anything Biblical. For this reason, I will try to cite the chapter and verse so you can actually read it from your Bible.

At any rate, going back to the history lesson. In 1440, the printing press was invented, which was a major problem for the Catholic Church. The fact is, they were teaching many things that were contrary to the Bible, some very major.

This was revealed by another big event in history. This time, it came from a Catholic Priest by the name of Martin Luther. So much was the Catholic Church, that is by the pope, they tried to have him killed.

These two things alone, broke the hold on the people that church had on most of the people in Europe. They were teaching that people could buy the souls of ancestors out of purgatory and into heaven. Not so. The word purgatory does not even occur in the Bible. With the Bible being in print, people were discovering it and that the church told the lie in an effort to bolster the treasures of the church, and by church, at this time I mean Catholic Church.

Moreover, Martin Luther started quoting the Bible for one and all, causing the protestant revolution. To be sure, there were churches other than Catholic before Martin Luther, but they generally had to hide. Because the Catholic Church tried to destroy them.

Now, people were going all over Europe saying things like, “By faith you are saved, not of yourselves, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2 8-9). Moreover, people were reading it for themselves from the Bible. They could see it for themselves and they Catholic Church’s lock on being the sole interpreter of the Bible fell to pieces.

What I have said hear, in a round about way, if the person or organization teaches something to contrary of the Bible, he is a false prophet, or at least a false teacher.

Now, how do you know if what they say, agrees with what is in the Bible? That’s easy. Read the Bible. Learn it forward, backward and inside out. That way, the instant someone says something that is contrary to the Bible, you’ll know.

You might ask, are there false teachers? Guess what. Don’t take my word for it. Look it up in your own copy of the Bible. You can look it up in the concordance. Or… if you like, just look up false prophet on the internet. You will find dozens of verses and they will be quoted in maybe 4 or 5 translations.

By the way, if you do look it up on the internet, there is no reason for me to go farther. You can easily read for days on what the internet has to say about it.

Nonetheless, might I suggest, start reading the Bible. I did and I read very slow and I hate reading. None the less I read it 8 times, not to brag but to show, if I can, you can and you should. You should read it, if for no other reason than knowing who is teaching the truth and who is trying to distribute a lie.

Oh. By the way. I gave up believing what the Catholics are teaching a long, long time ago.

The Story of the Magi

Posted in Christian values, Religion by

Every now and then, I like to revisit some of the misconceptions of the story of the magi in the Bible. I think this might be a good time, as Christmas approaches.

In Matthew 2, the Bible gives us the account of the visit of the Magi. Everyone knows there were three, except we don’t. The Bible only says that the Magi visited and it implies that there were more than one. If you look at the passage technically, the Bible refers to them in plural, 2 or more. I would think there were not 20, as I think the Bible would have said so. Indeed, there might have been three, but there might have also been 4 or 5. Beyond that, I would expect that they had an entourage with them, maybe 50 servants.

Some say that the reason that people say there were three is that that there were three presents. That part, the Bible states clearly. Each of the gifts have a spiritual and political meaning. They are indeed gifts fit for a king. However, at least one of them spoke of the death he would suffer and die on the cross for us.

Second, we know that they visited him in the manger, only that’s not right. In Matthew 2:11 specifically starts, “On coming to the house.”

This is easily explained by the 3rd misconception, that they visited the night of His birth. In no way does the Bible say that. The clear implication is that the wisemen did not start their journey until the birth. It very likely took them 1 to 2 years to get to Him. In the meantime, Joseph likely set down roots in Bethlehem and moved into a house. It also explains why Herod instructed his men to kill all babies under 2.

Finally, it would be a good idea to remember, Jesus was genetically, a descendent of Abraham, Judah and David a Jew. Each was given the promise Jesus would be in their line. Most of their descendants were light skinned, mostly a somewhat olive tone. However, David had red hair and fair skin. We also know that at least one of his sons had blonde hair. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Jesus was brown or Black. This is not to say that there is any less of a Christian bond between non-white peoples and Jesus. It just is, let’s keep our facts strait. God did promise Abraham a savior in his ancestry. He again repeated the promise with Israel (Jacob) and David. It is why God insisted that the Jews not intermarry with other nationalities. If he permitted them to intermarry, then He would not be keeping his promise to any of the three men.

May I remind one and all, that also means I don’t have any physical relation to Jesus either, that is, unless there is something in my ancestry I don’t know about.

Regardless, no matter our ancestry, it would be best if we all put it aside. It is, I am sure, what God wants us to do. Jesus died so that we all have direct access to the thrown of God through Jesus, no matter what color our skin is… or isn’t.

A State of Confusion

Posted in Christian values, Communism, experience by

It reminds me of the old saying that my older brother used to love to repeat, “Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you to stand behind you to speak on something of which I know nothing about.” Okay. You can look it up on the internet, though my brother did not quote it right. It really is worth reading the whole thing if you have a minute or two. However, it’s not my point at this time. It is simply a way to introduce that which confuses me.

A number of decades ago, there was a nation, a horrible nation called Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). As I read the Bible, which I have read completely at least 7 times cover to cover, I did from time to time come across verses that confused me. They never caused me to doubt but they did cause me confusion.

Perhaps some of those passages is in Ezekiel. Well, at one one time, I was pretty sure of my understanding, you know the part about Gog and Magog. Between my own reading and some commentaries, I figured that it was referencing the USSR. The problem with that is that, now, the USSR no longer exists.

Ronald Reagan said that the nation would fall. In my mind, I said, “Right. Like that is going to happen. Communist nations never fall. Once the commies have their hold on any country, they won’t ever let go,” but they did. It seemed in a matter of weeks but it was more like months, the huge powerhouse crumbled before my eyes.

So. So much for my belief that the USSR is Gog and Magog. The thing is, Ezekiel is clear about it. Gog and Magog will come down from the north and attack Israel. It is also very clear that it will be a very powerful nation.

While Russia is still powerful, it is not what it used to be. However, to be sure, Russia is not much better than the USSR. More than that, Putin has voiced his desire to put the former empire back together. Worse, the dems don’t seem to want to get in his way. By driving the price of oil up to a hundred dollars a barrel, they have helped in the financing of it.

So, is Gog and Magog going to be the the reconstituted Soviet Union?

As I said in my opening statement, I don’t know. It sounds logical. Regardless. No matter what nation is being referred to, I would not want to be there when God decides to punish them. I won’t tell you what will happen to them. Just read it for yourself in Ezekiel 23.

I might be confused as to who Gog and Magog are. However, I have a pretty good idea of the punishment that awaits them and the reason.

Finally, for those who doubt the existence of God, study the history of Israel. A) The prophecies concerning the nation are coming true. B) Notice what happens to those nations that have treated Israel badly. Egypt, Babylonia, Rome and Germany. They aren’t but shells of what they were. I suspect it will not be long before Russia will receive their punishment as well regardless of if they are Gog and Magog or not.

For those who have a brain, take note. God can reduce the US to rubble. He just might decide to do it if we, too treat Israel badly. We have been forewarned. Even more, we have the examples.

Why Did Noah Build an Ark?

Posted in Christian values by

It is a simple question. It just might be conceivable, though not likely I’m the 1st to ask it. I guess most of us think he did as he was told. Then again, maybe it was simply that he was afraid for him and his family.

He might have had the attitude, if there is a flood, it will come in handy. You do realize, while he built, he evangelized? That was part of the reason for building ark. When those around saw him building the ark, they did laugh at him. They did ask him about the project.

I do sort of wonder, was he the first to build anything like a boat. Did they ever go sailing on a weekend. These guys were living four and five hundred years, remember. They had plenty of time to build stuff like this just for fun. Contrary to what some learned folks might say, we are likely speaking of a very advanced civilization. The Bible recorded that there was a man who worked with iron, long before the bronze age.

So, let’s say Noah has some success at evangelizing. I think it was even conceivable that God might change his mind and not send the flood. We know, of course, God has the foreknowledge. He knew they wouldn’t. However, we also know He was giving them one more last chance to repent.

It looks to me as if Noah was acting from faith. However, we also know that if Noah was a successful evangelist, he would have been the only one in town with a big boat sitting in his front yard.

However, it would still have purpose. Every time the animals started going into it, 2 by 2, the neighbors might take note.

Which does bring up a plausible additional reason for Noah to take on the project. It did give Noah a tool for evangelism. As I said, they did laugh at him. However, some must have started taking note as the animals without any prompt, started wandering in. Some might even have repented but fear. They did not want to be subject to the same ridicule as Noah.

I don’t know when the rain started, some just might have had second thoughts if it started sprinkling before the door was closed. If I may, I don’t think God would mind me using a little imagination. I am almost sure that God had the love that allowed everyone every last chance. I suspect it was sprinkling before the door was sealed.

Then, Noah and his family boarded the ark. God, Himself, closed and sealed the door. It was for two reasons. It kept both the water and the people out. It was the final decision point in time. Those that were in the ark lived. Those that were outside the ark died.

Not only is it a historic fact, but it is something of a picture for us. God is long suffering. He gives us chance after chance because of His love. However, one day, He will close the door for each of us. Those of us who never repented and accepted Jesus, it is too late. Death is all that remains for them. With that in mind, for those who haven’t already, it would be a good idea to accept Jesus, now, before the rain starts falling.

Some, when they tell the story of the ark, use the term perish instead of died. Well, the do both mean the same. Perhaps, perish sounds better. Perhaps it covers it a little so that it has a little less of an edge. But it was not my intention to make it sound nice in the least. I wanted it to have its full impact, for the benefit of anyone who needs to know. If I take the edge off, how does it help those who need to repent?

Unusual, Odd and a Little Strange

Posted in Abortions, Abuse of Power, Christian values, Deceit, Kamala Harris by

As with many others, I watched the debate.  I was not at all surprised by all the lies that Kamala told.  It was expected.  Of course she quoted the Jan 6 thing, only she left out part.  She left out the part about officials encouraging the demonstrators to enter building.

The dems always like to leave important parts out of the quotes.  They just can’t let go of that one demonstration where they imply that trump was in favor of right extremist, when they knew  from the beginning it that implication wrong.

On the other hand, when Trump properly pointed out what the former governor said about “post birth abortion,” the moderator quickly said that there are no laws allowing the killing of babies after birth.  The one thing has nothing to do with the other.  Trump was quoting a very often and documented video, which has been shown, I don’t know, maybe a thousand times.  His intention was not to say that the law permits it, only that it could be if people like that governor get their way.  Finally, just for the record, she never did say she was not in favor of last minute abortions or killing after birth.  Leastwise, I never heard her say it. Did you?

Completely disregarding that, I noted that the moderator interrupted many times to supposedly fact check trump.  Never once did he or she correct Kamala.  This prompts two thoughts.  They likely had their notes ready to counter many things that they expected Trump might say.  It was not at all coincidental that they never corrected her obvious lies.  They might convince others that it is coincidental.  It is easy to deceive those who want to be deceived.  It was not just a little strange.  It was outright biased.  It was the model of deceit and Satan, himself, I am sure, is quite grateful to the so called neutral moderators.  Next time, I suggest we not allow the moderators to add their counterfeit 2 cents.

Then again, it was ABC.  Why should I expect anything different from the folks of Fantasy Land?  It is why Kamala refused to go on FOX.  She didn’t want to look anything like the flip-flopping extreme liberal she is.  She did not want to be called out on all the big changes she has issued, not directly, but though her campaign.

There’s No Way to Erase the Truth

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Bribes, Christian values, Confessions, Deceit, Elections by

Old Joe’s son, what’s his name? Never mind, you know of whom I speak. At any rate, he is now an admitted felon. He has admitted to disobedience of a law, which is a felony. By the way, it is a major one. Al Capone went to that little island in San Francisco bay for one that was very similar.

Will what’s his name go to prison. Of course not. He has already been told as much. It is why the guy so quickly admitted his guilt.

However, you and I both know he will not spend one day, not one hour in prison. Old Joe knows better than for that to happen. His son knows too much. Not only can he bring down the Biden family, but the entire democrat party. All the guy need do is make a threat and all charges will be wiped clean as new fallen snow.

However the truth is still truth. It cannot be erased. The son still did it and Old Joe profited greatly from it. How else did Old Joe get his millions? I mean, being a senator or VP does not pay that much. Actually, being president doesn’t pay that much. Old Joe is the very definition of graft and bribes by example.

The Problem With Dems

Posted in A Little About me, AARP, Abortions, Abuse of Power, Alcoholism, Biden, Christian values, Controllers, Coronavirus, Crazy Nuts, Deceit, FOC, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Mayor Pete by

Many would say the problem with Dems is that they are communists. Though it would seem that way, they really aren’t communists. It is simply an interim for their real purpose, total control, as suggested in the book and movie, 1984.

They want to be big brother. However, they know it won’t work that way. The book spoiled it. Now we know to look out for big brother. So they are suggesting communism instead. Once they establish communism, then they will quickly establish what they really want, control.

Most of us hated the pandemic and what it brought. The dems loved it. It gave them a reason to control, and control is what they did, even before Old Joe took over the Oval Office. If you think about a while, you will have to agree with me. The pandemic was one of the greatest things that happened to the dems.

One might suggest that it was a huge windfall for them. This would suggest it was not planned. they just took advantage of it. That might be. However, bear in mind that it was the dems that provided monies for the research and it was the dems that helped it spread world wide. And, by the way, it was the dems who absolutely loved it, admit it or not.

They shut down schools, businesses and even some government functions. They stopped travel, where you could eat and where you could buy it. They dictated when and where you could worship, in spite of the 1st amendment and no one dare say anything against their program, again, despite any amendments, for that matter, regardless of the Constitution. As an aside, they just almost bankrupted all airlines.

For a while, they just almost had total control, exactly what they wanted. It was, just what they wanted but for one thing. It came to an end, sort of. We are still stuck with businesses going under and a total disruption to our schools. It took a long time for the airlines to recover, though some would say they are still recovering. Finally, it drove good, patriotic men from the military. Much of what they did cannot be undone.

Also, most people are afraid to say the wrong thing(which is likely the right thing). I’m not. I’m almost 77. If they want to wage a war on me, that’s fine. It won’t last long. Neither will I.
