In the time of the end, knowledge shall be increased"

Common Sense Commentary: "But thou O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."  Daniel 12:4

Knowledge is neutral; it is what it is.  If knowledge is not true, it is not knowledge, it is pseudo-knowledge.  It may be called knowledge but that does no more than calling a cow a horse.  Naming a thing does not make it become what it is named. I saw an old shack with a leaning cross on the top, and a sign in front, "God's House Of Faith Church".  It stood there empty and rotting down, in south Georgia, for the 30 years I lived in North Florida and may be there still.  People were not there, God didn't appear to be and Faith surely was not.  Neither was it a church (ekklesia)  which means, "assembly".  It was an abandoned old house which did not live up to its name.

God told Daniel that in the last days, "Knowledge shall be increased" and many people would be "running to and fro."   We are living in a time when millions and millions of people are "running to and fro" from jogging tracts, streets, sidewalks, bikes, cars, buses, ships and airplanes... all around the world. An average airliner will fly nearly two million miles a year and carry an average of nearly  250,000 passengers.  Multiply that by the number of airliners, which must be in the tens of thousands, and you have hundreds of millions of people "running to and fro in the earth" ... with Satan right on their heels.  When God asked Satan where he had just come from, Satan answered, "From going to and fro in the earth..." Job 1:7.

It is also obvious without question that, in all of history, there has never been a time when more knowledge was contained in people's brains, a hundred thousand libraries, and stored in millions of computers and high tech storage units.  And it is doubling every few months and speeding up every day.  The whole world is shrouded in a cloud of every kind of knowledge but so very little of the knowledge of our Creator and the Creator of all true knowledge.  God commends knowledge many times in His Word, but primarily the knowledge of Him, for therein is salvation, peace, faith, love, heaven  and therein is warning of judgement and hell.

Since the beginning of Creation, Lucifer, alias Satan, Devil, Serpent and Dragon, has been peddeling and pushing knowledge for evil uses. On his first encounter with Adam and Eve, he was lying about God and tempting them to disobey God and eat of the "Tree Of Knowledge".  He told Eve that God didn't want them to be as intelligent as He was. Why, he said, God knows that if you eat of the Tree of Knowledge, "you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."  Gen.3:5.

It reminds me of the people who built the Tower of Babel.  They had a one world language and wanted a one world city, a one world government, and a one world name, "lest we be scattered abroad ... Gen.11:4.  So they pooled their knowledge of  making brick, mixing morter, building architecture and community organizing, and built "a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven." Yes, up there through the clouds ... all the way to heaven ... by their unity, knowledge and intellect.


The Cloud That Rains Money

From The Dai ly Reckoning by Ray Blanco
The answers to the questions we ask — whether verbally or through text input — usually do not reside in the bits and bytes contained in our smartphones, tablets or PCs. They sit somewhere out on the other end of a network connection, in “the cloud” —
(A major new Apple initiative is iCloud, where users can store everything...)

However, whether residing in publicly available data sources or behind private firewalls, the total amount of data accumulation taking place is staggering. Truly, we are living in the “information age.”

According to technology market research firm IDC, more than 1.2 sextillion bytes of digital data were created and stored between the beginning of the “information age” and the end of 2010 — a number so large that it is as incomprehensible as the US debt. The amount of data has grown ninefold over the past five years alone. (900%?)

However, like the national debt, the numbers show no signs of slowing down. IDC forecasts another 650% growth in total data by 2015. I’ll try to put the 2015 data into a little imaginary perspective. By my reckoning, if we stored it all as CD-ROM disks,
we could build more than 33 stacks extending all the way out to the moon.

You Can't Set Your Goals Higher Than "God's Will For You"

Common Sense Commentary: Generally speaking, most men want to be rich, most rich men want to be rulers, most rulers want to be human gods and all human gods want to be the one true God. That was Lucifer's ambition and eternal downfall. Set your goals high, but within the context of God's will for your life .... not your own will.  Even Jesus said, "Not my will but thine, be done." Lk.22:42.  Jesus well knew that there is no higher goal, in anybodies life, than God's perfect, unique, and personal will for each one of us. His purpose for coming to the world was to die for us.

Someone might ask, "If Jesus was God in the flesh, why would He ask His heavenly Father, 'Let this cup pass from me', referring to his sacrificial death?" That question answers itself.  He was God in a human body of flesh. Mary did not give birth to God but the fleshly body He lived in, among us, and which was nailed to the cross, as God's sacrificial Lamb, to pay our sin's "death debt".  "The wages of sin is death." Rom.6:23. Jesus, of course, knew that was why He came to this world and spoke of it several times to His disciples.  Even knowing He was to be crucified when He next went up to Jerusalem, He didn't turn back, but went on to that prophesied destiny.  There, at Gethsemane, when He prayed,  "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done", it was that fleshly human part of Jesus which was about to be beaten, spit upon, and nailed to a wooden cross, that prayed for relief.  But much worse than the zenith of physical and mental suffering He would endure, was something far far more difficult, and unimaginably contradictory to His sinless nature, antagonistic to all He represented and stood for in His holy soul and totally repugnant to God Himself.  All the depraved, vile, filthy, vulgar, obnoxious sins of all humanity were about to be put upon his holy form, and not only put upon Him but, He would become our sins that our sins might die with him in that awful agony.
2 Cor.5:21.  "For he (God) hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, him who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."   This is the  most contradictory thing imaginable in  the minds of men, angels or devils... but with God, it was the only way to redeem you and me ... to Himself take the "wages of sin" which we earned and deserve upon Himself.  For He had decreed that... "The wages of sin is death" and God's Word cannot be undone, unsaid, undecreed or revoked.  It had to be... and Jesus came here in that body of flesh to draw the wages of our evil work ....
"death" upon himself.   Jesus stepped up to the the pay window and drew the wages of your sins and mine into his hand and then paid our sin debt.  We cannot repay Him for what He did for us, but we can show our appreciation and love by accepting His free gift of forgiveness and eternal life ... all paid for and offered to us, without charge, in His outstretched hand ..."For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."  Rom.6:23. 

We all have one choice between two options ... Accept Him or Reject Him. The price  is paid, the choice is yours.  To neglect Him is to reject Him.

Looking Beyond The Flesh ... To The Soul

Common Sense Commentary: "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."  1 Sam.16:7.  Dottie Rambo wrote a song ... "He looked beyond my faults and saw my need." My friends, only love can do that and only God can know our hearts .... "For God so loved the world (us) that He gave His only begotten Son..." to answer our need.  The best parents not only love their children but must also learn to "look beyond their faults and see their needs".  Look beyond the "outward appearances" of selfishness, disobedience, anger and lying and see the root cause of their fault.  In some cases their fault may be my fault.  That is to say, I am too impatient with them, too busy to spend time with them, to teach them, to help them, to pray with them, to share God's Word with them.  In other cases, those same faults are their very own, fleshly, human faults.  Still, a parent must look beyond the fault and see them ..., and everyone else for that matter, as an eternal soul created by God in His own image, but with an inborn sin nature dating back to Adam and Eve.  A person cannot help being born with a sin nature but, we can help neglecting to deal with it.  We are all, children and adults, responsible to God to deal with our fleshly faults.  Now, let us shift gears.  Fleshly faults, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual are usually, simply ... SIN.   A parent must deal, not only with their own sins but teach their children to deal with theirs.  There are several methods of doing that, but just one remedy.  Let us first deal with parental "methods".  A parent must be patient but not so patient as to be tolerant of the seeds of evil in themselves or their children.  A parent must be loving but not mistake love for their lack of painful discipline applied to their child.... "Chasten thy son while there is hope ..." Prov.19:18.  Another admonition is,
"Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him." Prov.22:15.

A good way to gauge the seriousness of your "little angel's" transgression is to imagine it being done by the "little devil" next door.  The "methods" a parent has of dealing with the sin nature in their children's flesh are, first... by example, prayer, and Holy Scripture.  Secondly... teaching, talking, listening, correcting, practice, encouragement and praise for doing well.  Third ... punishment.  Disciplinary  punishment is an absolutely, indispensable necessity in raising children.  Though it is a "last resort", in the training of a child, if it is not part of the program, all else, though correctly applied, is without authority and powerless.  There must always be, in the child's mind, the likelihood of painful punishment for disobedience and bad behaviour. Otherwise their little individuality and self will rise up in rebellion and chaos.  A parent must put this need, in their child's life ahead of the parent's need for love and appreciation from the child.  The greater need of the parent is for their child to grow up a mature and balanced adult who is honest, diligent, dependable, successful and who respects authority and loves their parents too.  Parental discipline should include stern warning, withdrawal of privilege, and an effective (painful) spanking to enforce their God given authority and responsibility. 

Finally, the remedy which lasts a lifetime.  The one remedy for sin is spiritual conversion and redemption from our sins by the acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord, Saviour and sin bearer.  I neither believe that a little child is accountable to God for his/her actions in infantsy and early childhood, nor that they are on an equal basis of accountability to God, as are teenagers and adults. I believe that accountability to God  begins at the "age of accountability", which varies with each child, but is usually at puberty between ages 9 and 13.  I have known retarded people who, after being in church all their lives, suddenly realized they were a lost sinner and needed to be saved. One was 40 years old but had a little child's mind.  It took 40 years for him to reach the age of accountability.   His name was Gene Brown and I had the honor of showing him the way of salvation.  That was over 50 years ago. He is in heaven now.

I believe that if a child is not old enough to go to hell, he/she is not old enough to be saved.  A child is "safe" for heaven until they reach a point of suddenly being convicted by the Holy Spirit that  they are now sinners and need God's forgiveness.  No one can be saved unless and until they realize they are guilty of sin before God ... not
because Mommy or Daddy said so but because they felt guilt in their own heart when the Holy Spirit told them so.  True repentance must be a spiritual response to conscious guilt, regret and desire for forgiveness from God, a higher power than Mom or Dad.  As I said, I believe that personal guilt, before God, probably happens during puberty, usually somewhere between 8 or 9 and 13 years of age.  However, if a child asks to be saved or baptized at a younger age, there is no real harm in "leading them to the Lord".
You can't take the chance of not responding to their request and even if they are too young, it may at least keep them in church until they are convicted by the Holy spirit that they are really not saved and they, with good foundation, accept Christ.  This has happened hundreds of times under my own ministry.

God's law, in the Old Testament required that young boys accompany their parents to the Passover HolyDay Feast at age 12.  It was at this age that Jesus first attended the Jerusalem Passover and then remained in Jerusalem, instead of following Mary and Joseph in the crowd of worshipers traveling back to Nazareth and home.  When they realized Jesus was not with them, they finally found him in the Temple, back in Jerusalem, "in the midst" of the greatest Old Testament Scholars in the world ... both listening to their expositions of Scripture and himself answering some of their theological questions which astounded them.  It was at this time that Jesus, during the average time of puberty in boys, was asked by Mary,  "Son, why have you thus dealt with us? Your father and I have sought you sorrowing." Lk.2:48.  At twelve years old, Jesus gave an astonishing answer to Mary .... in effect, "Have you forgotten who I am? Don't you know that "I must be about my  Father's business?"  Luke 2:49   In these words, Jesus made a clear distinction between His step father (little f) and His Heavenly Father (cap F) and between Himself as Mary's son and as the Son of God.  So, the age of twelve is shown to be very significant in the development of a child's mind and body.  It did not, however, change the fact that Jesus was still a child and remained an obedient child to his mother and Joseph.  Lk.2:51 says that Jesus continued to be, "subject unto them."

I must add, here, that we, as Christians, must grow in grace to a level of spiritual maturity that we are able to see everybody as more than young or old, good looking or bad looking, skinny or fat, black or white, well dressed or in rags. We must, as did Jesus, look beyond their flesh and "appearance" and see them as eternal souls created in God's own "image and likeness",  but in need of a Saviour ...God's Son, Jesus.  "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."  1 Sam.16:7.

Agnostic: A Nearly Honest Atheist

Common Sense Commentary:

Here we have "The world's most famous Atheist" confessing that he is not absolutely sure there is no God.  Though he only gives God a .9 % (less than 1.%) chance of  a reality existence, at least he admits that he really doesn't know .... for certain.  Truth be told, no one can have "faith" in a lie because God gives faith and He does not give faith to believe a lie. "Faith comes by hearing...the word of God." Rom.10:17.  It has been said, "There are no true atheists", which may be true because a person cannot be absolutely certain sure of something they have not personally witnessed. They may "say" they are certain or even give it a 99.1% doubt (.9% chance) when their actual doubt is much greater. How does one witness that "there is no God"?  There are, however, those who are agnostics, which means (a=no + gnostic=know or no know) I don't know.  Actually, everyone, who is not a true believer in Jesus Christ, having  received faith through hearing the gospel truth recorded in the Bible, is an agnostic in some degree. There is always that seed of doubt, that crack in their armour, that secret fear that ... maybe they are wrong.  THAT is God's opening for us to be a witness to them.  They are not sure !

Strangely, Lucifer, himself, is neither atheist (a=no + theist=god or "no god") nor is he an agnostic. He is, "a liar and the father of it" Jn.8:44 ...but he knows Jehovah God is real and has seen and talked with Him. One must know the truth to lie about it. Otherwise a falsehood is ignorance.  Heb.11:1 says, "Faith is... the evidence of things not seen."  Having seen God, Satan's knowledge of Him is not based on faith but sight. Also see Job1:7 & Jm.2:19.  There are many cases of agnosticism in the Bible and not "knowing" is not a sin unless you are also not seeking the truth of God.  I believe God's Spirit whispers to every soul to seek Him.  Jesus said that He is "the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Jn.1:9.  Even so, each person, as a free will agent, may accept that light or reject that light, but forever after knows, though he may lie to himself and shout it to the world, yet there is that "still small voice" of 1K.19:12, whispering to his soul ... "I AM...I AM" ... Ex.3:14.

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that
they are without excuse."  Rom.1:20.

So here is a video of the world's most famous atheist saying, I'm not quite sure. "Then King Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Acts 26:28.

I... Vote for the unquestioned, strongest, most
        long term defender and believer in 
        preserving and precisely following the
        Constitution Of The United States.

II.. Vote for the candidate who has a proven

III. Vote for the candidate who feels no great
         compunction to control everybody's life

          Jehovah too.

IV.. Vote for the candidate who has proven by

           than himself, our Constitution more than
           his ideology and Americans more than 17

              skip on down to that repentant sinner   
              and all American Patriot described in

VII.  Most importantly, if you pray regularly,
             ask for God's advice and then vote for

Excessive, Inordinate, Exaggerated, Extravagant, Magnification: Hyperbole?

Common Sense Commentary: "Belshazzar the king made a great feast to the thousands of his lords, and ... commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father... had taken out of the temple... in Jerusalem; that the king , and his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.... They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver ...." Daniel 5:1-4

Politically, I am a conservative, constitutional, free market Capitalist.  But as a Christian, I am compelled to do all in my power to help people who are handicaped, sick, too old or too young to help themselves.  That is the Church's and Christian's responsibility not the Government's, whose only resource is compulsory taxation from income earners and job creators.

As the founder of a large Christian Church Ministry including the city Rescue Mission and city Food Bank, three Christian Schools, a Children's Home and other outreach ministries, no one who knew me well in Tallahassee, Florida had any doubt of my love and compassion for the helpless, hungry and homeless.  However, your possessions and bank account are your own not the government's, the church's or the down and outer's. You are God's Steward to use those things wisely.... But, lavishly excessive banquiting in the midst of starvation poverty and suffering innocence, is not just inappropriate, it is outrageous surfeiting.  Nevertheless, unless it is tax payers or tither's money, you are gluttonizing, you may do as you please with what is yours and answer only to God.  Even Tithing must be willingly, voluntary given not extracted by human agency.  Unless your "giving" is voluntary, it is not charity but theft.  "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver"  (2Cor.9:7) ... but hates the sin of theft, from one, to give to another. Heb.1:9 says God loves righteousness and hates iniquity.... including theft.

Our political leaders, Wall Street Bankers, and even many corporate tycoons have destroyed the confidence and respect of American tax payers, in our government, in the stock market and even in those multi-million dollar, bonas gluttons of Commerce.  When I see the superlative extravagance of the Queen of England, Corporate CEO's, Hollywood, the President's wife, the Pope and even some famous preachers, I am disgusted at their calousness in the face of jobless families and tax payers who are struggling to survive.

I have seen the impressive changing of the guard at London's Buckingham Palace, and at Lenin's Tomb in Red Square, Moscow but they are nothing compared to the one I will show you to "physically" illustrate the excessive waste and spiritually corrupted  soul of world leaders.  Those who, supposedly, "serve" the people but instead expect applause for their own inordinate extravagance and exagerated magnification of themselves. So I offer this physical comparisen of their spiritual definiency. Did I mention hyperbole ... or did I use it?

This video is the "Closing Of The Gates Guard" at the border of India and Pakistan, two of the poorest nations on earth, both of which have nuclear weapons. Entertaining but excessively extravagant.... like our government and Wall Street, which are fiscally and morally bankrupt.

Global Tax Advocate: Guess Who

Obama Pushes Global Tax

posted on February 16, 2012 by Gary DeMar

Filed under 2012 Election, Business, Economics, Finances, Government, Politics, Socialism, Taxes

When taxes are high in one state, businesses and individual tax payers have the freedom to move to another state. The number of millionaires who have left New York is getting to Red Sea proportions. Rush Limbaugh moved his operation to Florida, a state that doesn’t have a state income tax. Lebron James was considering joining the New York Knicks until he found out how much he would be paying in New York state and city taxes. Like Limbaugh, he chose Florida. He plays for the Miami Heat.
It’s not just the politicians who want to stick it to the rich. A Siena College poll reported that 72% of New York voters support the tax to avoid further budget cuts. The union-backed “99 New York” rally supported extending the “millionaire’s tax” on New Yorkers with incomes over $200,000. It was due to expire December 31, 2011.
Some people in New York understand the long-term consequences of taxing the rich. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo says taxing high income New Yorkers would send them to the low-tax states of Connecticut and New Jersey, taking their income-tax revenue, job skills, and businesses with them.
The people of New York, like the people in Greece, want their handouts, and they want other people to pay for them. Greece doesn’t have low tax and no-tax states like we have in America. There’s no place to flee. So what remedies do companies have when they can’t compete globally because of Federal taxing policies? They move their operations overseas.
Who will ultimately pay this tax? Consumers. Companies will consider the new tax a cost of doing business and tack on the additional costs to the products they sell. A similar thing happens when people call for tariffs on foreign goods. Tariffs make foreign goods more expensive and push up the price of American products. Again, consumers are the losers.
Instead of overhauling our nation’s tax system, the Obama Administration wants to set up what they are calling a “global minimum tax” or in the language of Newspeak, “a basic minimum tax”:

Earlier this week, White House economic adviser Gene Sperling announced his support for changes in the tax structure. “[W]e need a global minimum tax so that people have the assurance that nobody is escaping doing their fair share as part of a race to the bottom or having our tax code actually subsidized and facilitate people moving their funds to tax havens,” Sperling said at an official White House meeting. He even indicated that President Obama “supports” this change.

Technically, it would not be a “Global Tax” but a punitive tax , an unnamed White House “official” told Politico, on American companies “that ship jobs overseas.”
The reason these companies ship jobs overseas is that they can’t compete globally because costs are too high in the United States. The way to remedy the problem is to lower taxes here. Instead, the Obama Administration has resorted to class warfare rhetoric. No wonder. He’s seen the polls. If 72% of New Yorkers want rich people to pay more in taxes, it’s quite obvious that slapping a minimum tax on oversea corporations is an easy sell.
These same people will bellyache that everything they buy will be more expensive and blame the corporations. The corporations aren’t the problem; it’s the taxing structure, and I might add, the unions. The unions killed the American textile industry in the United States. It’s nearly killed the automobile industry.
Maybe the President should push a “basic minimum” tax on the 47 percent of Americans who don’t pay a dime in Federal income taxes but who vote for more taxes on their more productive and job-creating neighbors.

What Caused The Fall Of Whitney Houston & Rome

Common Sense Commentary: Yes, mustard seed faith will move mountains ... but, mustard seed sin, without forgiveness, will father a forest of evil.

Sacrificing principle to satisfy the demands of lust, addiction, fear, friends or a depraved government, is like sowing evil seed because it is creeper or the easy way right now, but without considering the crop of thorny, poisonous vines which will spring up in our lives and and take control of our soul later.

Weak character will always take the easy, convenient way today, which simply breeds still weaker character and a harvest of failure, regret and self loathing slavery later.

Some seed sown take months or years to germinate and produce a progeny of its own kind; but be sure the seed will come up with multiples of itself flourishing and choking the life out of all else, to control and subjugate our will to itself.

However unimportant and small, an immoral compromise or decision may seem, it will spawn much larger consequences in time. "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Gal.5:9.  Like a contagious virus or germ, so small it is invisible to the eye, spreads and has the power to blind, sicken or kill its host and become a plague which may sweep across a continent and even the whole world, and yet is invisibly tiny.  Sin is contagious and terminal without God's remedy, The Great Physician, Jesus Christ.

The fall of all world Empires and addicts began in a small, seemingly unimportant digressions from truth, wisdom, reason and right.  Tiny seed which, when sown, grew slowly into final, all consuming ruin and rotted them to their foundations. Every villain, addict and serial killer had a first time which made the second easier and the third a habit. If a person never takes the first drink, joint, hit or taste of fantasy, they will never be addicted to it.

What happened to Whitney Houston and Rome has happened to every person and every empire which lightly esteemed truth, wisdom, reason and right.  What happened to Whitney Houston with her beauty, wealth, fame and talent, and to Rome in all its glory and power is also happening to millions of Americans and to America itself.

You see, Satan is the "ruler of the darkness of this world" ... of sin, failure, regret and self loathing slavery, but God is the Father of light, truth, wisdom, reason and right.
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these these things shall be added unto you."  Matt.6:33.

"Global Warming" to "Climate Change" to "Global Cooling"

Forget global warming - if NASA scientists are right we may even get another mini ice age as in the 17th Century

Met Office releases new figures which show no warming in 15 years

By David Rose

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.

The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

I've said from Day One that this Global Warming scare was a complete fabrication...and from my past work in meteorology and climate, I'm in a position to know. And the data to debunk it all came from the most unlikely source...the University of East Anglia, where they originally 'cooked the books' on behalf of the global warming theory.

New Bible Version For Muslim Worship

Common Sense Commentary:
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Rev.21:18-20

From Gary North's Godfather Politics (Mafia term suggests its likeness to our Gov. RB)

Now, another new Bible version is soon to be on the market and from what I have read and seen so far, may be one of the worst Bible versions to be printed yet. And the thing that shocks me the most is that it is being produced by what I thought were respectable groups including Wycliffe Bible Translations, the Summer Institute of Linguistics and Frontiers.
This new Bible is being promoted as a Muslim friendly Bible where the translators, or should I say butchers, have removed all words and wording that might be offensive to Muslims. They have eliminated any references to God as ‘Father’ or Jesus as the ‘Son of God’. One example I saw was Matthew 28:19 which reads,

“Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

And changing it to this:

It’s Not about Contraceptives....

Common Sense Commentary: "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed ..." Rev.12:17.
It’s Not about Contraceptives 
........its about POWER
By Dr. Gary North


“POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER — never forget that it is from a fascination of the limits and manipulations of Power that keep people interested in this book.”[1] These are words from Francis Ford Coppola’s notebook that he used in preparation for filming of The Godfather.
If you want to see a microcosm of modern-day politics, The Godfather is the place to start. It has all the characteristics of a government; it only lacks legitimacy. American politics has gone the way of The Godfather. The oath that our representatives took to uphold the Constitution means nothing.
The President’s latest attack on the American people by mandating that employers cover contraception is a blatant attack on the Constitution and the freedom of ALL Americans, not just those who hold a particular religious view on contraception. His so-called compromise that insurance companies pay for birth control pills is one of the most audacious power grabs in the history of government. What’s next?
Will grocery store owners be required to give milk and bread away free to people who claim a need? Will contractors have to give one home in ten away free to families that can’t afford to purchase one? We’re already doing a lot of this through wealth confiscation.

The following is from Dr. Kevin Clauson, Professor of Politics & Government and Director of the William Jennings Bryan Center for Law and Public Policy.

Have I missed something regarding this controversy over free contraceptive coverage in employee health care insurance policies ? Now the President has said those employers who object on religious grounds don’t have to but the insurance companies still have to provide it. I’m still mystified. WHY HAS NO ONE (THAT I’VE HEARD) POINTED OUT WHAT I THINK IS OBVIOUS: WHY SHOULD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BE ABLE TO REQUIRE EITHER AN EMPLOYER OR AN INSURER TO COVER ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY FOR “FREE” (AND REMEMBER “THERE AIN’T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH” — ALL INSURED FOLKS WILL HAVE TO ABSORB THE COST) ? It is blatantly unconstitutional! Why should any “group” get special favors by government? (And by the way, what do contraceptives have to do with “women’s health”? When I think of health I think of cancer or heart disease or diabetes. NOT a contraceptive provision.) There is no law prohibiting the provision and purchase of contraceptives. Indeed why should any government be involved in health care provision at all ? The “religious liberty/conscience” argument is not illegitimate; but it does obscure the BIGGER issue. The federal government has no Constitutional authority to mandate any kind of insurance or insurance coverage, let alone at no cost (supposedly).

The only good that can come out of free contraceptives is that enough liberals will buy and use them. I would be willing to pay for that myself. Is there a fund I can contribute to?

Magic...Now It Is... Now It Ain't Good For You

Common Sense Commentary:"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter." Isa.5:20.  This verse doesn't apply here but its the closest I could get.

The headline I just read said: Coconut Oil Now Touted as Alzheimer's Remedy Now they tell me!!! So much of what is good for our health was once thought to be bad and much of what was thought to be bad is now .......... good for us. With high cholesterol, I was warned, after heart bypass surgery, to avoid eggs, butter and coconut oil.... Now its all good for me... So now, after 20 years avoiding that good stuff, I will probably die of Alzheimers, malnourishment or excessive lettuce, soy, yogurt and aspartame poisoning. I can't even remember which is good or bad cholesterol for 3 seconds. I knew an old guy who died, the doctor said, of drinking and smoking, at 98. He previously had succeeded a series of teetotaler wives. Life does get complicated but fortunately there are millions of such wives who out-live their husbands. "Fortunately"??? Sorry guys.

The Bible Truth About Money

Common Sense Commentary:"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1Tim.6:10.  There are four bad things in that verse and none of them is "money".

First, it is the "love" of money that is the root of all evil, not "money" itself.
Second, it is, "coveting" after money that is bad, not "having" money.
Third, the bad thing about "loving" and "coveting" money is, it causes those particular people to "err from the faith" pursuing wealth, and not the giver of wealth, God.
Fourth, having given themselves to the "love of money", they have "pierced themselves through with many sorrows" and are out of God's will and protection.
In a word, the love and coveting of money is simply "GREED". Judas was greedy.

The Attributes of Money:

Money for which you have not expended your time, talents and effort, is not equal in value to you as money for which you personally have labored.  We are, however, equally responsible to God to be good stewards in its use because its use is of equal importance to Him.  Whether it is a gift, an inheritance or a grant, it equally represents someone else's stewardship of time, talent, effort and life. A free meal is not free, someone, somewhere paid for it.  They worked and gave it, you ate it without work.

Money, for which you have invested your own time, talent and effort, is nothing less than that part of yourself which you invested to earn it.  It is, therefore, a composite representation of that much of your life itself .  That is why it is so important to abide by God's Word in reference to "good stewardship" of our time, talent, effort and then their offspring, our treasure which incorporates, in convenient form, the above three aspects of our lives.

When we waste our money or possessions, we waste that part of our lives required to earn them.(poor stewardship).  When we spend this "currency" of our time, talent and effort on the ungodly, un-Christlike satisfying of fleshly lusts, we literally abuse ourselves. As the Apostle Paul spoke of certain ones who, "oppose themselves" in 2Tim.2:25.

Wealth, in whatever form, cannot be bad because Jesus and His Apostles had a bag of it, which greedy Judas carried to pay for their needs.  God's Word also promises, "Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom." Jesus said it in Luke 6:38. The one word, "Give" part of that equation, or formula, is incidental to the subject, getting.  Everything after the word "Give" is "Getting" for which the verse is primarily intended ..."and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over..."   The entire verse has to do with "receiving" more that giving.  Receiving food, clothing, housing, transportation, income, life sustaining resources ... but in proportion to our giving.  The result of giving of ourselves, then receiving back much more than we gave, is the key to honest, purposeful, scriptural wealth.  Cases in point: Abraham, Job, Boaz, King David, King Solomon, Nicodemus and Cornelius.

Conclusion:  So, if a person gives abundantly and then reaps even more abundantly, from God, how is that a bad thing?  If you give generously, and "reap what you sow", as the Scripture says (Gal.6-7), and become wealthy in the process, receiving back far more from God,  through  men's hands, than you gave, God is simply living up to His promise.  It is, therefore, contradictory to feel  guilty or apologetic about what God has done in your life ....Cornelius.  However, the more you receive, the more you are responsible to give. "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required ..." Jesus said it in Lk.12:48.  This includes all aspects of good stewardship, not just wealth.  We who have been given, by God, wealth, power, position or fame are responsible to Him, as good stewards, to use those things for His glory not ours.  Also, the word "give" implies, in both Hebrew and Greek, our willful bestowal or use of those gifts as God leads us.  Our "giving" must be voluntary or gains no approval, reward or return from God.  Exorbitant, government taxation is not only demanded but forced and not volunteered, except in the since of fearing the consequences of not doing it.  Unlike voluntary scriptural obedience, Taxation is not "giving", it is forceful extraction.  That is not how God wants us to obey Him or to "give"; but, misuse of His gifts to us has its consequences. God does not force us to do right.

A "good steward" of God's business is always aware of where his wealth, power or  position came from and to whom it truly belongs ... our Master, our Lord. The steward is answerable to Him and nobody else, but is also responsible to Him for deciding how  these things are to be spent and used.  Not the Pastor, not the church deacons, neither a friend nor Uncle Sam .... but you, the steward.

There are hundreds of verses in the Bible referencing wealth, riches, money, gold, silver, material and animal offerings, sacrifice, giving, receiving, wages and tithing. Far too many for possessions and wealth to be evil or an offence to God, when He gave it for our use.  No, it is not "money" which is the "root of all evil" but the "love of money", the "coveting" of it, the greed of it which is that poisonous root of destruction.

Spendthrift AbamaNation Is Evil Stuff

Common Sense Commentary: "Be not deceived;
God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
 that shall he also reap." Gal.6:7.  Are we reaping yet?

America's Politicians have spent our nation into undeclared bankruptsy. But, besides Power, Fame, and Wealth for themselves, they have done it because the majority of Americans wanted more than they earned or a living without earning it and voted in the politicians who promised to give them the most "free stuff" without earning it.  Now, our country is about one hundred trillion dollars in debt.  This includes 15 trillion dollars in actual borrowed money, 90 trillion dollars in debt obligations promised or contracted such as Social Security and Medicare (trust fund was spent) plus Free Medicaid, Gov. Retirement Plans, Welfare, Food Stamps, Free Medical Care, Housing Subsidies and on and on and on.

So how much is one trillion dollars?
Not even considering  the above mentioned debt, our government squanders another one and a half trillion dollars, over its budget, annually. Looking at the above, a single trillion doesn't sound like much ... but just how much is it?  It is a figure so incomprehensible that most people cannot even grasp its enormity.
($1,000 X 1,000 = $1,000,000)
  Thousand...............Million

($1,000,000 X 1,000 = $1,000,000,000)
Million .............................Billion

($1,000,000,000  X 1,000 = $1,000,000,000,000
Billion.....................................Trillion

Again, we lose track, mentally, of just how much $1,000,000,000,000 really is.  Here is
an example of how much one trillion dollars is:  If our government doubled everyone's taxes and then could pay $1000 dollars per second or $60,000 dollars per minute, or
$360,000 dollars per hour or $8,640,000 per day, they could keep the 3% interest paid up but not  $1.00 paid against the principle of one trillion dollars...ever.  Plus, they
would continue going into additional debt on top of debt at the rate of two million dollars, over budget, every minute of every day. Who do you think is on the hook for that debt? The politicians who spent it? No, the tax payer... you and me.  So what can you do about it?  Vote the rascals out and be careful for whom you vote to take their places.  A good rule of thumb is to vote for whomever the news-media and Hollywood
are against and against whomever they are for.  Very simple.

The only reasonable conclusion we can come to is that the Politicians and President
never intend to pay it off.  However, the unreasonable conclusion is, they could easily, in one minute, print up 1500 Billion dollar bills and pay this year's budget deficite.  Then they could print up another 15,000 Billion dollar bills in about ten minutes and pay off all of our 15 trillion dollar, borrowed government T- bonds debt.  Then it would take about another hour to print up enough $1000 dollar bills to pay off everybody's empty government promises, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid etc. etc. ahead of time for this entire year. And while the presses are smoking hot, just run off a warehouse full of Million dollar bills to keep everybody all paid up on all those things for the next few years when it will take $5, then $10, then $50, $100 to buy a loaf of bread.  And, hey, within four or five years we will all be getting million dollar weekly checks. We will all be millionaires but can't afford a tank of gas.  You call that, "inflation" or  'hyper inflation".  That is the dream world Liberals live in which will become a nightmare before they awaken. That exact scenario has happened many times, in the past, in other countries.  At the rate we are now going..... it will happen here too.  So what's so wicked about it, Preacher?  Old people loose the buying power of their savings but can't get a job;  Baby boomers have to keep working through retirement time; Welfare recipients either starve or find a job;  Children have to grow up and pay off the national debt their parents  spent, as bribe money, to keep voting for the political squanderers.  And, yes, my friends, the words wicked, evil and sin still have an appropriate application and fit the evil which has been done to our people.  It is evil because these kind of stresses reap divorces, child abuse, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, robbery and even murder.

shall reap the whirlwind...." Hosea 8:7.

Power In The Blood

Common Sense Commentary: "In Christ we have redemption through His blood,
even the forgiveness of sins." Col.1:14

THE BLOOD One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on

she became a faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children. It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son. The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting. As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this: "My fiancee's past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?" The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!! Would you be free from your burden of sin? There's POWER in the BLOOD. Would you o'er evil a victory win? There's POWER in the BLOOD. There's wonderful POWER in the BLOOD!

Courage Is Being Scared To Death But...

Common Sense Commentary:"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."--- John Wayne

Yes, I know .... John Wayne was just an actor but knowing some things about him I won't share, he was not a counterfeit man.  He had "True Grit" and was a real man not an imitation. He lived up to his definition of courage.... He just kept on saddling up to the end and, like Charlton Heston, was a Conservative in a sea of Hollywood Liberals.

I use the above quote from John Wayne to challenge you and myself to saddle up this wild, mean bronc we face in today's world and especially in our own country.  Things are happening in America that are truly endangering the very existence of our country. The remedy is a lot like the importance of voting.  Some say one vote doesn't amount to much but I'm asking you, that if one vote didn't win elections, exactly what does? If everyone felt that way, nobody would vote except the politician's friends, kin and greedy ginks who love his promised free stuff.  That's about what has been happening.
So here come those savages over " The Hill" ... Muslim terrorists, Corrupt Politicians, Wall Street Crooks, Federal Reserve Banksters and Hoards of Giant Fat Rats to devour  the humble, quiet, hard working tax payers and drain their retirement savings with price inflation and money deflation.  So stop holding your temper and your tongue waiting for some miracle to deliver us from the rulers of darkness and the wicked in high places who council you to, "Don't just do something, sit there". NO! Saddle UP!

A German View of Islam

Dr. Emanuel Tanya

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.

We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.

Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.

"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."--- John Wayne

"Hit the deck, saddle up and move out Marines... we have Gooks on our north, east, south and west. We are surrounded

so they can't get away from us now." Quote Col. Chesty Puller, my Regimental Commander at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in North Korea.  Out numbered ten to one by Chinese Communist Armies ... we fought our way 70 miles to the sea and left nearly 40,000 dead enemy behind us in a three week battle.

Dyslexia Is A Useful God Given Gift

Common Sense Commentary:

I have long thought that such unusual, pseudo "defects", as dyslexia and autism, if inborn in the child, had to be a God given trait of benefit and usefulness to the affected person and to society in general. My theory was based on reasoned conclusion and personal observation.  My conclusion derived from knowing that if God created and allowed to be born, a child with dyslexia or autism, it had to mean that He had a special purpose and place for that person and that trait, which is needed by the tribe, village or society's good.  My personal observation of many such "gifted" individuals, with a so-called "handicap", led me to believe that every human being born has something special to offer or to be received by those around them.  As you too have surely witnessed...  Here is a child with autism who is plainly limited in some areas of ability but is also plainly gifted in other areas which are related to his condition.  But such gifts must be accepted and cultivated. God does not make mistakes.  "...All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Rom.8:28.

Since I first learned about dyslexia, I realized that I had a bit of it myself.  I've always
had trouble with reading and though I have read a library full of books, I am still a slow reader and a terrible speller. I failed the third grade because I could not read. However, I have also, since childhood, been able to mentally see the "big picture" of a thing or situation.  Another gift I have, which is mentioned in the  article on dyslexia, linked below, is peripheral vision and an ability to see in the dark. In the Korean War I was always appointed to lead the way at night because I could see in darkness and my periphery vision often picked up movement which neither I nor my comrades could see straight on.

Our educational system sorely needs a restructuring to deal with the differences in children ... and every child is different. Everybody is dumb in some areas and adept in others.

"For who maketh thee to differ from another?  and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why doest thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?" 1 Cor.4:7.

I must disagree with the author of the article below, who says calling dyslexia a "gift" is patronizing.  Actually, to call it a "gift" infers a "Giver" and therefore a "Creator".  Scientists often have that "handicap". RB

U.N. World Tax To Supply All Needs Of Poor Nations

Common Sense Commentary:

UN Wants World Tax

Global levy needed to aid “needy people” get free housing,
education and healthcare

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Friday, February 3, 2012

The United Nations wants a world tax imposed on all financial

 transactions to fund a global model of social services that will

provide “needy people” with a basic income,

free healthcare, education and housing.

“The money to fund these services may come from a new world tax,” reports the Deseret News, quoting Jens Wandel, Deputy Directr of the United Nations Development Program, who said that a long term funding plan for the project would center around “a minimal financial transaction tax (of .005 percent). This will create $40 billion in revenue.”

“No one should live below a certain income level,” stated Milos Koterec, President of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. “Everyone should be able to access at least basic health services, primary education, housing, water, sanitation and other essential services.”

According to the report, the new global tax is designed to be a progressive scale, with higher earners paying more to help provide “all needy people with a basic income, healthcare, education and housing.”

This represents the UN’s latest attempt to fleece western taxpayers under the utopian rhetoric of global socialism.

While invoking the plight of the world’s poor as a justification to create a slush fund under its control, the UN is also invoking the discredited pseudo-science of man-made global warming in an effort to shake down the developed world through the imposition of carbon taxes.

_____________________________________

So there you have it dear friends ... a world U.N. taxing of the citizens of countries with free enterprise, democracy, and economic success to support all the rest of the world's population which have failed governments, a state religion or no religion.  This is exactly what we in the U.S.A. have been doing here at home for fifty years.... rewarding and subsidizing several generations of the same families .... not to be responsible for themselves.  Has it lifted any of them out of poverty?  Has it motivated any of them to get a job and get off the public dole?

Again, I reference my previous comments ... All of this globilization and one world government talk, which will supposedly solve all of our worlds problems is leading us to the Anti-Christ's Kingdom. RB
