Preface
Greetings! The following presentation is volume nineteen
of a 36-volume production of some 6,000 pages on “Ezekiel and YHWH’s Judgment
for the Good News People,” all of which is on the Internet at the
www.age-end.com web site.
This overall effort provides an
interpretation of the Good News message in the New Testament, its linkage to
the book of Ezekiel, and an application of both to the age-end prophecies
relating to certain nations and peoples now out in the world. In order for this single volume to be
understood and comprehended, it is imperative that the study be read from its
beginning--from page one of volume one.
Anyone trying to read this volume or
the study’s 6,000 pages at any mid-point will end up in a state of confusion
without having read and digested the preceding material. It is crucially important that this work be
read in sequence from its beginning--otherwise, the reader will almost
certainly end up missing the essence of the message!
The
effort was originally set on a Macintosh computer with Microsoft Word
6.0.1. It was set in Helvetica, 12-point
type (18 pt on chapter headings); single line spacings; and margins: left 1.2”, right 0.8”, top 0.7”, bottom 0.8”
and footer 0.6” (for page numbers).
For
further information on obtaining this study in 18 computer floppy disks
(IBM-formatted, high density, 2HD, 1.44 MB, 3 1/2 inches); in a single CD-Rom;
or in hard copies (when the Internet or a compatible computer is not
available); please write the publisher at the above address and send a stamped,
self-addressed, long (legal-size), return envelope.
With a CD-Rom or computer floppy disks,
the study is readable on Macintosh (systems 5.0 and later) or IBM/compatible
(with Microsoft Word-Windows) personal computers. May The Great CREATOR and SOVEREIGN OF THE
UNIVERSE bless you as you study His word to learn His will and to obey
Him. Shalom (peace) to you and
yours!

Chapter
282--Christian Humanism’s Gospel I
Man’s Inclinations Toward Religion
A
student of world history must be impressed (adversely) with man’s efforts to
have various forms of religion.
Consequently, all kinds of religions and faiths have materialized over
the past 6,000 years. There seems to be
no end to this profusion of religion among so-called human beings scattered
over this globe.
Although
history has long since forgotten many of these different religions, and
particularly so, with the loss of written records and books over the years;
much data has survived on several of them to allow some understanding about
their beliefs and practices.
Consequently,
English dictionaries and encyclopedias are replete with religious “isms” --like
animism, polytheism, henotheism, pantheism, deism, atheism, agnosticism,
materialism, spiritualism, existentialism, etc.
Some have even outlined the existence and case for a so-called “God is
Dead” belief.
Among
the behemah and chaiyah humanoids, one typically finds very primitive and
simple forms of worship--like sticks, stones, animals, and of course, dead
ancestors.
In
the case of the behemah humanoids, it is quite manifest that they are very
subject to demon spirits and therefore the spiritual occult can be found with
their medicine men and in their worship forms.
The Shaman is quite a big shot in the religions of non-Adamites.
Adam
man has generally seemed to be far more sophisticated and advanced
theologically than to worship mere sticks and stones. It is quite evident that when Adam rejected
YHWH’s rule and authority in the garden of Eden that he and Eve chose to gain
knowledge and understanding by the earlier mentioned empirical method of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Based
on what was to later happen to the House of Yisrael Israelites when they sinned
(as broached formerly, in connection with the death of Stephen), one can see
that with the Adamic men’s rejection of YAH’s Torah, The MOST HIGH abandoned
them to the worship of the sun, moon and stars (just as He later did with the
House of Yisrael).
Historic Sun Worship With a Humanistic
Bent
So
sun worship has been the norm among Adam man for most of the last 6,000 years
(and certainly, since Nimrod). In a
prior discussion on sun worshipping Zoroastrianism, the point was made that the
adherents of that religion believe that their faith started thousands of years
ago by a man named Zoroaster. And if his
existence can be dated to just after creation, then he could well be Cain, as
noted previously.
It’s
a little hard to pin down when the first emergence of humanism occurred in
history. But the student of truth must
be suspicious that it partially surfaced with the just mentioned religion of
Zoroastrianism (which reflects a lot of humanism, even to this day). One can easily believe that it was
established in Sodom and Gomorrah in Avraham’s day (because of the open
homosexuality which is reflective of humanism).
Clearly,
humanism was established by the time of the ancient (sun worshipping) Greeks,
during the time of Socrates and Plato, and their colleagues, in their famous
discussions about philosophy, as commented upon elsewhere herein. In fact, Professor David Flusser, formerly of
Hebrew University, made the case that Socrates was probably the founder of
Greek humanism (“Hillel and Jesus,” p. 74).
The
licentiousness, sexual permissiveness and apparent open homosexuality, in
particular, among some of the then Greeks, would be indicators of humanism just
as in other perverted societies.
And
that reality is one of the several sick features of humanism. Humanists often advocate and push sexual
permissiveness, licentiousness and perversion (much like one finds in modern
Christian America, as will be discussed in later comments).
The Romans and Humanism
In
the once great Roman Empire, she began fusing her traditional sun worship
culture with humanism in her declining years.
One sees this reality in some very positive conditions which developed
over time in the empire to help eventually bring it down (things by the way
which are similarly present in the USA and which are acting to bring her down
as well).
Thus,
there was in Rome the freedom and racial integration and amalgamation of the
slaves (many Coloreds). There was also
the free bread give aways (like modern food stamps), circuses (like TV) and
games (like sports) to pacify and entertain the pleasure driven population, as
it was going down the tubes.
Obviously,
this environment was one of a very humanistic society extremely dedicated to
the pleasures and aspirations of its so-called human beings.
Howbeit,
with the eventual fall of Rome and the ascendancy to power of the Universal
Roman Catholic Church, around 312-325 CE, and with the elevation of Constantine
I, the civilized Roman Empire was to enter the so-called dark ages.
With
the enormous religious persecutions and brutality of the loving Christian
Church, the ideas of humanism and the related Socialism (which will be shortly
assessed) were put on the back burners for much of the next fifteen centuries
or so.
Modern Secular Humanism
One
of the powerful motivational forces at work in the contemporary society for the
past 100 or so years has been the acceleration of the old sun worship
influence, but now modified slightly with a renewed twist of humanism
(particularly, as a part of the later to be discussed New Age thinking).
Earl
F. Jones, in his Mar-Apr 1998 “Intelligence Newsletter” (p. 2), quoted the
“Texas Law Review,” and defined humanism as “a philosophy or attitude that is
concerned with human beings, their achievement and interests, and the condition
or quality of being human, rather than with the abstract beings and problems of
theology.”
Jones
noted that secular “by definition refers to the temporal rather than
spiritual. Secularism is a doctrinal
belief that morality is based solely in regard to the temporal well-being of
mankind to the exclusion of all belief in God, a Supreme Being, or a future
eternity.”
For
secular humanism, Jones said that “while secular humanism is nontheistic, it is
religious because it directs itself toward religious beliefs and practices that
are in active opposition to traditional theism.
Humanism is a doctrine centered solely on human interests and
values. Therefore, humanism deifies man
collectively and individually, whereas theism worships God.”
In
a book on “Secular Humanism” (p. 7), writer Homer Duncan defines humanism as
“the religion which deifies man and dethrones God.” Conversely, The ELOHIM summarized His entire
law and duty of Adam to first love Him with all of one’s heart, soul and might,
and second to love his “rea” (incorrectly translated as neighbour in the KJV)
as himself (Lev 19:18; Deut 6:5; Eccl 12:13).
The Struggle
In
Adam’s rejection of YHWH’s rule (and law), Adam has made ostensible struggles
with these two great commandments, but tragically not according to The ELOHIM’s
Word--instead, according to his own experimentations of right and wrong.
This
reality was classically demonstrated by Cain when he elected to make an
offering on his terms and obviously not on the terms of The MOST HIGH. Thus, while Adam may “pretend” to want to
worship The HIGHEST first, He does not do so and effectively never has done
so. Please remember that the human heart
is deceitful and desperately wicked and lies to it’s owner (Jer 17:9).
The
same situation is true in regards to the question of loving thy “rea”
second. Adam has never acted so in
obedience of this commandment. In the
first place, the typical Adamite (or Christian Church preacher) has generally
not had the foggiest notion of even what a “rea” is much less what “love”
is.
The Socialism Tie
In
the way of a definition and an attempt to understand humanism, Dr Stan Monteith
makes the point (in his video on “Secrets of the Illuminati”) that all
Socialists are humanists and all humanists are Socialists. In this context, it would seem that humanism
and Socialism are exactly (or almost exactly) synonymous terms. Therefore, this discussion on humanism
clearly includes Socialism in the same breath.
Although
modern Americans, to particularly encompass Christian Americans, have no
aversion generally to being linked to or identified with humanism, they are
paranoid and panic at the very suggestion that there could be Christian
Socialists or a Christian Socialism.
Likewise,
they are in no mood to accept the reality of a Socialist America, despite the
fact that America is now a Socialist nation here in the early 21st
century. Yes, this might be a hard pill
for a lot of Americans to accept. But it
is the real world. America is now one of
the most obvious Socialist nations on this planet. It’s just that the public does not want this
fact discussed.
In
the November 1999 “Internet Vortex” (p. 1), Christopher Ruddy had a story on
the “1990s: The Socialist Decade.” Ruddy’s report outlined the great American
moves to Socialism. First, it happened
in the 1930s with Franklin Roosevelt’s new Deal. The second motion came in the 1960s with
Lyndon Johnson’s great society.
But
the surprise came in the late 1990s when Bill Clinton and the Republican
controlled Congress provided the biggest US social spending in history--even
exceeding the social spending by FDR and LBJ.
Ruddy attributed the rise in the 1990s to the so-called peace dividend
and the supposed end to the cold war.
Humanism is Popular in Most All of
Man’s Religions
But
somehow, with almost all of the world’s major religions, the matter of doing
good deeds to or for other humans/humanoids (the supposed basis of humanism)
has had some extraordinary appeal, despite Adam’s confusion over what
constitutes love and good deeds in the context of a “rea.”
Consequently,
almost all civilized Adamic men don’t like to be murdered, don’t like to have
their wives commit adultery, don’t like to be stolen from, don’t like to be
lied to, etc. Hence, the world’s major
religions have incorporated these commandments and deeds (dealing with good to
other humans/humanoids) into their faiths, almost without exception.
Yes,
those things are as condemned and as unpopular in Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and
Shintoism as they are in Christian sun worship.
Of course, they historically were all also wrong in the various early
sun worship faiths (preceding Christendom)--like Mithraism, Chrishnaism,
etc.
Christian Humanism
Manifestly,
humanism is the backbone of Christian theology (as will be proven in subsequent
comments). In “Hebraic Roots” (p. 31),
author Ken Garrison admits this connection and suggests that the Gentile
leaders of the early Christian Church perhaps were influenced by Greek thought
without even realizing it.
Garrison
quoted the early Greek philosopher Protagoras who said that “Man is the measure
of all things.” As Garrison concluded,
this statement states the premise of humanism.
The focus on man became the defining part of Christianity. Of course, Garrison is assuredly
correct.
There
is no other way to cut it. Humanism
started in ancient Greek philosophy. And
with the birth of Christianity, it was picked upon by the early Christian
leaders to become the defining principle of Christianity. Everything else (the Torah, the prophets,
the mitzwot, etc) all became secondary to the idea of Greek humanism that came
to dominate all aspects of Christendom.
In
terms of modern times, it should be noted that humanism has formed the backbone
of the New Age/occultic religious movement which will be described in some
detail in later chapters. But for now,
it must be recognized that the New Age movement is laced with classic, sun
worship humanism. As it merges with
traditional sun worship Christianity, the system can be called--New Age,
Christian, sun worship humanism.
Humanist Manifesto 2000
For
years, humanist leaders have been making waves about their beliefs and morality
(or rather lack of morality since most humanists are fairly immoral). They signed manifestos in 1933 and in
1973. More recently, 120 humanist
leaders met and signed the Humanist Manifesto 2000.
“The
Washington Times,” of Sep 13-19, 1999 (p. 12), had a story by Larry Witham on
“Humanist manifesto seeks secular salvation” which assessed this latest
thinking. The humanists now seek a
“planetary humanism” that “looks to science for values and progress, promotes
an ethic of choice and recommends global institutions to curb poverty,
pollution and overpopulation.”
The
14,000 word manifesto says to not look for salvation beyond themselves (which
was also proclaimed in the 1933 and 1973 manifestos). Going on, it proposes a world parliament as a
democratic parallel to the United Nations, and global councils to address
ecological concerns, income distribution and education about birth
control.
While
it would be easy to laugh and joke about this ridiculous humanistic thinking,
the truth is that many of the world’s leading people are announced humanists or
at least secret or closet humanists (who secretly believe in it). Nine Nobel laureates signed the latest
manifesto. Manifestly, it is serious
business.
Other Aspects of Humanism
While
all races and kinds can theoretically be attracted to humanism, it seems that
the Adam kind has a greater propensity for humanism and humanistic ideas.
For
some strange reason, humanism has never been much of an issue with the historic
behemah and chaiyah peoples, who have largely existed in a world of brutal and
cruel exploitation of their fellow citizens without any compassion or feelings
of concern. Historically, the behemah
and chaiyah peoples have been the most cruel and brutal of all.
Not
only do the behemah and chaiyah males abuse, hurt and oppress each other, but
they are extraordinarily bad about abusing and hurting their women. This phenomenon is to be contrasted with the
attitude and reaction of Adamic men toward each other and particularly toward
their women. In comparison, Adamic women
are usually treated good by their men.
It
is also interesting that humanism appeals to and easily links up with a host of
leftist political and social movements--such as Communism, Socialism, liberalism,
etc. As noted in the above discussion,
humanism is almost precisely the same thing as Socialism. There is little difference between them.
In
this context, it is a fascinating reality that humanism seems to be extremely
prominent in all of the leftist political motions. Oppressive and dictatorial Communist
governments and philosophies have always held themselves out as humanists or
lovers of their fellow men.
Here,
in the early 21st century in modern America, all of these concepts of humanism,
Socialism and liberalism seem to come together under the umbrella of the
left. They are almost synonymous terms
and can frequently be used interchangeably.
The
difference between the main definitions is that the liberal is active
politically in the US, the Socialist is concerned with economic and social
issues, and the humanist is focused on philosophy and/or religion.
Liberals
always talk about caring and compassion whenever they push their political
objectives upon the unsuspecting public.
Of course, the gullible and lethargic people easily buy into these words
about caring. The truth is that the
persons who generally talk about caring, don’t care at all, as will be
established in later comments herein.
They are classic hypocrites!
The Amalekites and the Left
It
is this strange correlation between the leftist political and social movements
which has held special appeal to the wicked Amalek-Edomites, discussed in prior
chapters. Amalekites have historically
had a strong attraction to the left; and so much so, that the (Edom) color red
has come to be the symbol of the left, as noted previously.
In
modern manifestations of humanist ideas and activities, it often seems that the
Amalek-Edomites are the very leaders and promoters of humanism and particularly
among the Adamites in the House of Yisrael nations. A question must be asked as to “why” on this
relationship?
Since
the Amalekites are so incredibly depraved, wicked and evil, it’s hard to fathom
that they could ever be interested in other so-called human beings for any
purpose, except to abuse and exploit them.
Yet, they are often the very persons who are most vocal and expressive
in making demands about so-called human needs and human rights. Why is this?
The
best explanation for this phenomenon is that likely the entire modern
humanistic motion is being directed through a Satanic conspiracy in order to
destroy Yisrael specifically and Adam collectively. Satan is not exactly stupid. Surely, he has known and does know and
understand Adam’s basic motivations on humanism (love of other humans, but
outside the purview of the Scriptures and YAH’s commandments).
The
Satanic push on homosexuality, racial miscegenation, sexual perversion, etc has
found fertile ground among humanists without exception. Humanists tend to believe in, support and
approve of these demented activities--perhaps because they classically approve
of experimentation to determine right and wrong, as opposed to rote learning as
dictated in the tree of life, discussed earlier.
In
other words, experimentation opens the door for the humanists to try a little
sexual perversion. Of course, this
reality is precisely what Satan would seize upon to destroy the Adam
kind--which has been one of his objectives from the time of the garden of
Eden.
Quite
naturally, Balaam offered the matter of sex to Yisrael’s enemies (to include
the Amalekites), as discussed in previous chapters. It appears that from the Exodus on, the
Amalek-Edomites have followed this methodology for the last 3,500 years. They have attached themselves as parasites on
Yisrael and have proceeded to advocate, push and promote sexual deviation.
The Amalekites on Humanism
Thus,
Amalek-Edomites, in their hearts, minds and mentalities, could care less about
doing good deeds for other so-called human beings. But as primary agents of the Satanic
conspiracy to destroy Adam generally and Yisrael particularly, the Amalekites
have become leaders in modern humanism.
Though
the concepts of humanism and real belief and dedication to it are typically
thought of as something for Christians, it must be noted that there is a
growing, evident presence of it in modern Judaism (at least among Reform Jews),
although many of the Amalekite Jews are actually secret workers for Satan (only
using the humanism motion for public consumption and to distract from their
real motives).
In
any case, there has been a secular humanist presence among Jews for some time
now (stemming from the Sabbatian influence--as noted earlier, and to be more
fully described later herein).
In
the main, this presence has not had a clear definition. It has just been an additional belief of most
Jewish religious persuasions. However,
even humanism is undergoing some important changes right now among Jews--at
least among American Jews.
A
letter in the “Forward” paper, of Oct 15, 1999 (p. 1), noted that an
organization called the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism
(which was founded in 1963 by Rav Sherwin Wine) has now ordained its first
“rabbi,” a woman named Tamara Ruth Kolton.
The report said that this ordination assures that cultural Jews will
have cultural teachers in the future.
What
was not discussed is the fact that an aberration like this might be found in
America. But it is doubtful that it will
ever be allowed in the state of Israel where Orthodox authorities wield a big
stick and they certainly aren’t in tune with modern secular humanism.
Assuredly,
the Amalekites are now the principle ethnic or racial group of people most
active and busy in promoting secular humanism in the House of Yisrael nations
and among Adamites. As just noted, they
have not followed suit so much in the state of Israel (where there is a
continuing basic conflict between the Arab and Jewish populations).
In
other words, Amalekite Jew bankers/masters in the House of Yisrael nations will
get up and push and prod dumb, Christian, sun worshipping Israelites on and on
in the insanity of modern humanism (which spells Christian Yisrael’s own
ultimate disaster), but then back off somewhat in the state of
Israel--evidently, for fear of the Orthodox religious authorities, who are very
powerful in the Israeli state (as will be described in later chapters).
Amalekites Push But Not In Israel
A
reader’s letter from an American Jewish woman (who had recently immigrated to
Israel) in the Mar 10, 2000, “Jerusalem Post” (p. 11) wrote that she did not
find it difficult to understand the low numbers of English speaking immigrants
in Israel. She said that in the
Diaspora, Judaism is allowed its full range of expression.
This
woman added that in the Diaspora, women’s voices and contributions are not only
tolerated, but welcomed, and women take their rightful place as respected
leaders, teachers and members of the Jewish people. But this is not the case in the modern state
of Israel.
She
went on to charge that in the Israeli state there is the reality of oppression
of women “in the name of God and the narrowest interpretations of God” and the
sacred traditions of the Jews. Yes,
Jewish women like this may be butches and feminists and ruling and dominating
over men in America. But when they get
to the Israeli state, they learn to keep their mouths shut and play a
background role in human events.
A Real Contrast
Thus,
women feminists and queers may march and agitate in the leading cities and
towns of Christian Yisrael nations; but not much so, in the Jewish state of
Israel. In both Arab and Jewish religious
circles, women generally play background roles.
In Christian Yisrael nations, women and queers are allowed to be big
mouths, vocal and pushy, but not so, in Jewish or Moslem religious circles.
In
the Christian West, the Amalekite leftists are the very persons pushing and
prodding for gun control laws. They are
the people who have mass meetings, protests, and so forth to agitate and
complain about the second amendment to the US Constitution. Yet, in the state of Israel, there is never
any question on gun control laws since many Jews routinely have and possess
weapons.
The
point of this is that the Amalekites have flocked to modern secular humanism
and are using this philosophy in the House of Yisrael nations to push sexual
perversion, miscegenation, homosexuality, feminism and other forms of deviation
upon the Christian Israelite population with a goal of ultimately destroying
it.
Of
course, the ignorant, dumb, Christian Israelites, who have had this longing for
good deeds to others, have fell into line behind the leading Amalek-Edomite
bankers/masters in running as fast as they can to their own destruction. Manifestly, modern humanism is spelling
disaster and ultimate destruction for the House of Yisrael nations now
following this depravity.
Jewish Politicians
Having
noted this correlation between the Amalekites and the
Socialist-humanist-liberal motions now destroying the Christian West, a point
of clarification is in order. At a first
glance, it is true that this entire leftist motion is being directed by
Amalekites; and indeed, it appears that all Amalek-Edomites are somehow
attracted to the left.
But
there have been a couple of exceptions to this unique correlation--Barry
Goldwater and Roy Cohn. The homosexual
pervert Roy Cohn (former assistant to the anti-Communist Senator Joseph
McCarthy) had a reputation as a conservative and right winger, opposed to the
leftists. If an Amalekite, he was badly out of place as a right winger.
His
sexual evil and wickedness in general suggest that he was indeed an Amalekite
since Amalekites are known by their works.
Perhaps he went against his basic genetic disposition for the left in
order to attach himself to McCarthy and the conservatives. If so, his motives must have been for
personal gain and power. This quest for
power and gain are also attributes of Amalekites.
Alternatively,
the better option is that Cohn indeed was an Amalekite, who was a Satanic plant
in the anti-Communist right wing of the 1950s (as allowed in comments in the
June 19, 2000, “Spotlight,” p. 18). His
homosexual image and irresponsible acts brought discredit upon McCarthy and the
anti-Communist people he spoke for.
A
future chapter will assess the strange role of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in
the cover-up on the Kennedy assassination.
As will be noted, there has been much concern that Hoover was a fag and
that the Mob had its spikes in him. Cohn
was a close associate of Hoover and allegations have persisted that they
participated in a homosexual party together in New York on at least one
occasion.
If
true, maybe Cohn was a Satanic plant to gain the inside confidence of right
wingers, like Hoover, so that they could be compromised and controlled by the
Amalekite bankers/masters--which include the Amalekite gangsters, as discussed
in a former chapter.
The
Christian Jew, Barry Goldwater, mentioned earlier with Gerald L. K. Smith, was
in a different category. He was a
genuine conservative and a man of some honor, integrity and character (which
are foreign concepts in the context of evil Amalekites).
Goldwater’s
life of dedication and support for the US suggests that he probably was a true
Israelite Jew and not an Amalekite.
Whatever Edomite genes he may have had must have been diluted with other
racial infusions over the centuries.
Manifestly, he never exhibited the evil normally seen in Amalekite
Jews.
Furthermore,
it may seem like a paradox, but there are or have been even a few conservative
Jews (like Goldwater) out there who simply do not toe the Amalekite line for
destruction.
The
Oct 29, 1999, “Forward” paper (p. 1) actually suggested that many American Jews
now support tax cuts and school vouchers and are opposed to affirmative
action. This stance has been totally
unheard of among the liberal orthodoxy of Amalekites.
Chapter
283--Christian Humanism’s Gospel II
Early Sun Worship Ideas
L.
A. Waddell, in “The Makers of Civilization” (p. 210-211), writes that the code
of duty taught by the Sun priest Aurva (Aryans) (Vishnu Purana trans. H. H.
Wilson, ed. F. Hall, 1864, p. 3, 85, Indian epics, Aryan Indian &
Babylonian records) says that “The Sun Lord is most pleased with him who does
good to others; who never utters calumny or untruth; who never covets another’s
wife, or another’s wealth.”
Waddell
goes on with his quote-- “who bears ill-will to none; who neither beats nor
slays any living thing; who is ever diligent in the service of God; who is ever
desirous of the welfare of all creatures, of his children and of his own soul;
whose heart derives no pleasure from the passions of lust and hatred. The man who conforms to these duties is the
who best worships the Sun Lord.”
So
while commercialism and capitalism became the vehicles to appeal to man’s
inherent carnality of greed, selfishness, lust, envy, jealousy, pride, etc, the
truth was that Adam man did have some longings to practice good deeds to each
other (on his own terms, without any regard to the demands of YAH’s Word).
These
feelings, of course, surfaced from time to time. And now, for the last 150 years or so, we
have seen a resurgence of these motivations in the form of modern
humanism--first as a social issue and now as political, social and religious
messages.
American History
In
American history, it is probable that President John Quincy Adams (a Christian
Unitarian) might be the first president (1825-1829) to express some open
sentiments toward humanism. Certainly,
the abolition movement of the 1850s and the later temperance motion were
humanist movements.
There
is no reason at all (from his writings) to believe that Abraham Lincoln was a
humanist, despite the mis-information many Americans have had about him from
history.
He
was the first truly professional American politician. All of his moves seem to have been predicated
upon politics and getting re-elected and not upon love of anybody or
anything. He certainly was no fan or
friend of the Negroes that he politically and hypocritically supported.
What
many mesmerized Americans seem to misunderstand is that Lincoln was a true
segregationist, who actually looked down upon the Blacks as an inferior race on
a sub-human or animal level, as noted in prior chapters. Lincoln’s papers prove this reality
conclusively, if any reader is interested.
In
the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates in Illinois, “Honest Abe” said that “I will
say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any
way the social and political equality of the white and black races--that I am
not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of
qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people;
“and
I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the
white and black races... I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the
superior position assigned to the white man” (“The Lincoln-Douglas Debates of
1858,” p. 162-163, edited by R. W. Johansen, Oxford University Press, New York,
1965, as quoted by Marissa Taylor in the Jul-Aug 1999 “Jubilee,” p. 17).
In
a comment Abe made, as he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he said “I can
conceive no greater calamity than the assimilation of the Negro into our social
and political life as our equal.” But
so-called “Honest Abe” needed the support of the abolitionists in those days to
carry on his personal war against the South and to deal with political
opposition at home.
When
thousands of young American men were dying on the battlefields, Lincoln needed
all of the support that he could muster.
The vocal and big mouthed abolitionists provided that support. To appease them, he had to sign the
Emancipation Proclamation. This action
and his others on racial issues spell out that “Honest Abe” was a classic
hypocrite of the most gross kind.
The Occult Tie
In
fairness to the so-called “Honest Abe,” there is something else about him which
might account for his obsessive and periodic actions of hypocrisy and
hate. As will be highlighted in later
chapters, Abe’s wife Mary Todd was actively involved in Spiritualism and the
occult. Some of this stuff rubbed off on
him (as he participated in her work).
Next,
he became addicted to a medicine called “Blue Mass,” which included a
significant presence of Mercury (discussed by Michael Savage on “Savage
Nation,” on or about Jul 5, 2001). He
took this medicine while in the White House.
Of course, his brain and mental faculties were severally damaged from
Mercury poisoning. With his contact with
demonic powers and the consumption of Mercury, Abe had problems.
Later Presidents
In
later years, Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were clear
humanists, as well as the later Herbert Hoover.
Although poor Herbert was so busy trying to stem the economic decline
(caused by the Illuminati and the super rich banking dynasties) that he did not
get to implement many of his socialistic and humanistic ideas.
But
Franklin Roosevelt was to achieve all of the desires of his humanist
predecessors.
Thus,
ever since the rise to power of FDR and the liberal philosophy he expounded,
Americans have become a nation of social planners, activists, do-gooders and
misinformed humanitarians. Of course,
this liberal thinking has been and is that there is inherent good in man. But in an earlier discussion on this idea,
the truth is that man is utterly depraved and wretched.
Nevertheless,
these liberal ideas have fused with humanism to make the average or typical
American today to be a social activist of sorts who feels that he/she is
commissioned and has authority to use the government to correct, by force, all
of the social wrongs and iniquities he or she perceives as being present in the
contemporary culture and society.
This
background is, of course, what was behind Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society
programs in the 1960s (which have largely continued into the early 21st
century) of mass spending of federal dollars to supposedly raise the whole
American society to an acceptable level of well being.
Naturally,
the various Socialist theories haven’t worked, can’t work and won’t work. Why?
Well, it’s all being tried by man in man’s way without regards to YHWH’s
laws and ways. It’s just more of man
eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, instead of the tree of
life. All that this stupid waste of
funds has done and will do is to hasten the day of America’s destruction.
Communism
Back
in the late 19th century, it wasn’t hard to see that many of the fat cat
capitalists were exploiting and abusing the poorer people in the work force who
lacked the power of the state to exert any influence over anything. So Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels entered the
arena with their theories of Communism and the removal of the wicked, fat cat
capitalists.
Again,
man’s ideas about right and wrong have just not worked. Communism hasn’t changed anything for the
good. Instead of fat cat capitalists
exploiting and abusing the poor, fat cat Communist commissars and bureaucrats
took over and began exploiting and abusing the poor.
For
instance, a news report in the Jul 2, 2001, “Spotlight” (p. 2) noted that the
liberal, Socialist (or Communist) president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, has ordered
bath towels costing $443 each, sheets costing $1,000 each, a bed for $60,000
and electrically operated curtains costing $19,000 each. Yet, Fox has called for austerity. Obviously, the millionaire Fox is not
concerned with austerity in spending the taxpayers’ moneys.
Consequently,
in many governments in the world, and particularly those in Third World
countries, it really doesn’t matter one iota as to what political persuasion
rules. Nothing really changes with any
of the changes of political power. One
bad ruler or system is replaced with another bad ruler or system.
Wherefore,
the poor, dumb masses have always and always will get the short end of the
stick (that is, in all cases, apart from YHWH’s theocracy). So Communism, Socialism, Capitalism and
similar movements have all failed and will inevitably fail, despite their
supposedly noble intentions. The world
domination aspects of Communism will be assessed in a later chapter.
Liberation Theology
Just
like Protestant Christians eventually got on the band wagon and entered the
fight to promote their concepts of good in the political and governmental
arenas, Communism was also to join in with Christendom to jointly work on
common goals. In this context, it has
been the Catholic Church which has joined in with Marxist revolutionaries
(primarily in Latin America) in an effort called “liberation theology.”
In
the early days, it was just a few Catholic priests. But over the years, the leadership often
jumped into the fray. One can see this
with the situation in El Salvador when her Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero
became quite a social activist to try to bring down the military government and
right all of the so-called social wrongs.
Romero’s
story was told in a Hollywood movie made a few years ago. This Archbishop and many of his priests
became linked to Marxist guerrillas to agitate and cause trouble for the
existing government. Naturally, they did
this in the name of the “Christian Gospel” and their efforts became known as
Christian liberation theology.
To
them, the Gospel meant get a gun and bring the government down to usher in a
new government which would theoretically right all of the wrongs and abuses of
the old one. Per the El Salvador story,
many of the priests were eventually murdered and/or assassinated, including
Romero himself in 1980.
The
view of most observers is that Archbishop Romero upset the applecart of the
ruling authorities, and that he was killed by a local paramilitary group of
thugs financed, supported or directed by the CIA and then US State Department
official Elliott Abrams, per former National Security Agency intelligence
officer Wayne Madsen (Apr 15, 2002, “American Free Press,” p. 3). This course will be addressed in a later chapter.
While
the leftist revolutionaries were not successful in El Salvador, at that time,
this movement has continued to grow and gain support all over Latin
America. Despite the hypothetical peace
environment there for the last several years, there remains a strong
undercurrent of discontent, and it still involves Marxist ideologists in
collaboration with Catholic priests (including many Jesuits).
The
January-February 1992, issue of “The Jubilee” paper (p. 4) had a fascinating
story on “Christian Culture Transforms Africa” by Dan Wice which addressed this
same change on-going in Black Africa.
This article focused on the transformation underway in Africa with the
advent of the leftist Black Nationalist movement.
Wice
makes mention of the “new wave of missionaries” to emerge in the Black
continent in the last several years.
Specifically, many of these people are Marxist or Socialist
revolutionaries, though claiming to be Christians. Desmond Tutu of South Africa and his band of
“renegade Anglicans” are a part of this brand of blended Christianity and
Marxists-Socialists.
More Religious Implications
When
modern (Fabian) Socialism and humanism were in the ivory towers of political
theories and suppositions back in the late 19th century in Britain and America,
the Christian Churches (in general) were not the first groups to get on the
band wagon. Particularly, in America,
the churches tended to be more neutral politically and to mind their own
business.
Of
course, there were some portions of Christendom that have used their pulpits as
political forces (Catholicism--being a clear example of this, as she has always
been political with little or no neutrality), but not many of them at the turn
of the century and especially in the times of theoretical Socialism and
humanism.
However,
by the 1950s and the great push for racial integration and amalgamation of the
Blacks and Whites, the churches began emerging from their cocoons. Progressively, they began getting on the band
wagon as social activists.
Even
the Southern Baptists (which historically developed in the old slave holding
South during the American Civil War, when they broke from the Northern
Baptists) eventually joined in to promote the new racial concepts in
America.
Now,
Southern Baptists are breaking their necks (figuratively speaking) to join in
the humanistic racial amalgamation, integration and miscegenation motion now
underway in modern America (to be discussed in later chapters).
More on Christian Humanism
“The
Religious News Service” of June 21, 1978, had a news report which said that “A
Western hemispheric ecumenical conference has agreed that Christians are called
to explore a more radical alternative--including humanistic Socialism--to the
prevailing... capitalistic system... (which) was called an idol.”
Now,
today, the Christian Churches are one of the key power blocs behind the new
Socialism and humanism, as will be demonstrated in subsequent chapters. This phenomenon has to be most profound in
terms of what is happening all over the United States and indeed all over the
world.
The
transition by significant segments of Christianity to outright humanistic
activism is quite a paradox. Because it,
in turn, has helped to bring about the social decline, disorder and depravity
that one sees throughout the modern Western culture.
Of
course, these Christian Churches and most of their leaders become active in
social and political affairs on the premise that this is what the so-called
Gospel is all about. In other words,
they see it as being the essence of the New Testament (since they rarely read
the OT, those writings are of no issue).
The Environmental Movement
No
discussion about today’s modern political liberals and Christian humanists (as
just noted and to be more fully described in succeeding chapters), will make
sense without an acknowledgment and realization of the environmental movement
(which was discussed in previous chapters) and its link to the super rich and
fat cats in Christian America and the West (as noted earlier and to be further
described in later chapters).
This
motion is very powerful in the thinking of many Socialists and liberals, but
perhaps to a lesser extent among Christian humanists.
The
primary problem is that so many of the environmentalists are theologically New
Agers with a worship of and dedication to “mother earth,” in contrast to the
New Age Christian humanists and their deification of the human being. But while these two views are theoretically
opposed to each other, they have successfully come together, as necessary, to
support each of their overall objectives.
If
there is a particular merging of the views (and there is one), it comes about
in the political arena where both factions are thoroughly committed to bigger
and bigger government. Naturally, it
follows that where New Age environmentalists and New Age Christian humanists
can work together (for more and bigger government), they do so.
Chapter
284--Christian Humanism and Love
Love of Neighbor
As
noted in former chapters, perhaps the primary basis for Christian humanism
rests upon one of the great summaries of the law-- “love thy neighbour as
thyself” (KJV--Lev 19:18). Of course,
The MESSIAH quoted this mitzwah in the NT; but He quoted it as being second
behind love of The ELOHIM--which was of first importance (Matt 22:35-39; Mk
12:28-33; Lu 10:27).
Because
an earlier explanation about these two great summaries of YHWH’s law was made
in previous presentations, there is no need to repeat those comments. Suffice to say, in terms of love of a
so-called neighbor, there are two primary issues to consider and define.
The
first problem is what is love (described earlier) and the second question is
who is thy neighbor? Love, of course, is
obedience of YAH’s Torah, and neighbour (rea in the Hebrew text at Leviticus
19:18) refers to one’s racial kinsmen (as described in former chapters).
The Brotherhood of Man, Revisited
So,
what is the basis for all this talk about love of neighbor in the context of
doing good, humanistic deeds to and for every Tom, Dick and Harry of whatever
kind and wherever located? Well, the
answer is quite simple.
The
basis for this thinking among people at large goes right back to the
brotherhood of man theology present in ancient sun worship, as briefly
mentioned in previous chapters. It is
abundantly clear that the brotherhood of man thinking has dominated
Christianity for the last 2,000 years.
There
is no denying this fact, based upon an examination of history and the efforts
of the Roman Church first and the later Protestants to evangelize the
“world.” This was one of the motivations
that promoted the Spanish presence in the Americas--starting in the late 15th
century.
It
appears that the modern Christian Identity movement would like to somehow
dispute this assertion. The Sep 1998
“America’s Promise” newsletter (p. 3-5) had an article by Bruce Riley which was
a reprint from another apparent Christian Identity publication.
The
essence of this story was an allegation that a conspiratorial group called the
Boston Secret Six in the late 19th century assigned professing Christian C. I.
Scofield the task of making the “Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man”
a moralism for modern Christians.
In
any case, Scofield undertook the work in his famous “Scofield Reference Bible”
(which will be addressed in some detail in a later chapter, in connection with
the rapture theory that Scofield also advocated). The writer of this study would not dispute
Scofield’s work on either question.
However,
the brotherhood of man thinking is an old Christian idea that goes back to her
earliest days in Rome. It came from the
old sun worship cults and not from Scofield.
Manifestly, it is not a Scriptural teaching in either the OT or NT. It has always been a Satanic idea from its
apparent inception in the earliest days of sun worship--perhaps in the days of
Kain.
The Son of Man
Christian
humanism has been so profoundly persuasive that any number of people
translating the Greek NT into English have chosen to follow the humanistic
teaching in the Greek without any regard to the actual Hebrew thinking and
indeed words which underlay the Greek.
The
result has been that English translations render the Greek anthropos as man,
instead of Adam, as the underlying Hebrew text would suggest. This decision to translate anthropos as man
presents a situation where The MESSIAH’s title as a SON OF ADAM (In Hebrew,
“ben Adham”) comes out as the Son of Man.
A
previous chapter herein described at length the situation with translators to
incorrectly translate Adam and the Adam kind to man and men. Adam has a far cry different meaning than the
generic noun man. Adam is a proper noun
name and should be transliterated.
Again,
the Greek followed this erroneous path when translating from the apparent
Hebrew NT writings and rendered Adam as anthropos. English translations have followed suit in
both the OT and NT. Because of these
translation errors, a wrong message has been fed to most of so-called
humanity.
The
son of man would seem to be a very humanistic title and one which would appeal
to traditional sun worshippers (in their outreach to all
humans/humanoids--Adamites and behemah, chaiyah and nokri/nekar aliens), in
contrast to what one would find in the Scriptures in the context of The SON OF
ADAM. So, why does sun worshipping
Christianity insist on believing and teaching that YESHUA was a son of man?
The
previously discussed Barbara Walker focused on this issue. She wrote that the “Son of Man” title was
originally attached to Vishnu and that it was coined to prove that the god
Vishnu was wholly in the image of man (“Woman’s Encyclopedia of Myths and
Secrets,” p. 950).
Later,
the same Son of Man title was applied to the Persian Messiah Yima the
Splendid. He became the Lord of Death,
the good shepherd, the most glorious of those who were born and the sole mortal
possessor of the solar eye. He alone
could render men and beasts as non-mortal (ibid, p. 950).
Contrast
this thinking with the fact that Adam (not the generic man, which would include
the behemah, chaiyah and nokri/nekar persons) was made in the image of The True
ELOHIM. Christians insist on believing
and teaching that collective man was made in the image of The MOST HIGH. But this is not true. Only Adam was made in the image of The
CREATOR.
Sermon
on the Mount
The
famous Sermon on the Mount is another classic message Christians wish to use
for their humanistic purposes, never understanding what that presentation was
all about. Since the NT YESHUA was the
OT YHWH, it is clear that His remarks on the mountain were consistent and
harmonious with all of the earlier Tanakh statements.
The
problem for Christians is that they cannot understand this fact. And since Christian people are so incredibly
ignorant and uninformed on so much of the Scriptures, they have taken YESHUA’s
Sermon on the Mount in a totally wrong way and one which leads them into even
more wicked sun worship theology than what they had had for many earlier
centuries.
The
background for the Sermon on the Mount is that YESHUA was teaching and instructing
some of His disciples (of the twelve) on the proper methods of practicing
“brotherly love” in terms of fellowship within the NT Apostolic Assembly (to
include the Hebrew concept of hesed or loyalty) and some aspects of their
relationship with outsiders. Scriptural
brotherly love and loyalty were both addressed in prior chapters.
This
famous talk was broached by Ike Tennison in an article on “Who Was the Target
Audience of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount?”
in the No 1, 2000, edition of “Discovering the Bible” (p. 9). Tennison correctly notes that the context of
Matthew 5:1-2 is that “seeing the crowds,” YESHUA went up on the mountain and
taught “them” --His disciples, and not the crowd. The pronoun them plainly connects to the
disciples.
Going
on, Tennison is more precise by pointing out the rest of the context (in
Matthew 4:18-22, where YESHUA called four disciples--Shimon, Andrew, Yakov and
Yohanan). Since these were the only
disciples mentioned in the context before Matthew 5:1, the case can be made
that it was just this four, who were taught by YESHUA on the mountain.
In
fact, most NT teachings were all along the same lines--to YESHUA’s followers
and disciples and not to the general, secular public. Remember what He said about “why” He used
parables? So the general public would
not understand (Matt 13:10-13). Thus,
when The MESSIAH said to turn the other cheek when slapped, He was saying for a
kodesh brother to turn the other cheek when slapped by his religious
brother.
Most
human fathers would instruct their human, fleshly children along the same
lines. If a person’s human brother
slapped him, would he or should he hit back and retaliate tit for tat? Or would their human father say to turn the
other cheek to bring about peace, harmony and reconciliation between them and
particularly so to avoid any further physical harm and emotional hurt.
If
your brother hit you and you turned the other cheek (within the family entity),
would this reaction on your part not cool him down and restore some sense of
love? Of course, it normally would. And that is the objective--to get rid of the
ill feelings and replace them with kind affection and brotherly love.
That’s
why The MESSIAH also said to not let the sun set on you with anger or hard
feelings in your heart for a brother (to paraphrase it). In other words, go and make peace with the
brother and be reconciled. Of course,
this is true for both real fleshly brothers as well as spiritual brethren
within the fellowship of the election.
Incidentally,
this same idea prevails in the Torah and in the duties of the people of the
covenant, one to another (in the Body).
For instance, Exodus 22 details a number of these duties--but always, in
the context of the “rea” brethren and not to outsiders. The mitzwot prohibiting the taking of
interest and raiment for a pledge specifically focuses upon fellow Israelites
and not humans/humanoids in general (Ex 22:25-27).
The Mongrels, Revisited
As
noted in prior chapters, the mongrel nokri/nekar aliens were always in a
different position than an Israelite or a “ger” stranger. Thus, interest or a raiment for a pledge
could be taken from a nokri (Deut 23:20; Prov 20;16; 27:13), and the
nokri/nekar alien could not even be a member of the congregation because of
race (Ex 12:45).
The
stranger in Exodus 22:21 comes from the Hebrew ger (the gerim were racially the
same as Israelites and could be in the congregation--Ex 12:48).
Former
chapters also pointed out the reality of Deuteronomy 23:6 which contains a
command that says that the follower of YHWH is not to even promote or wish
certain mamzer types peace and prosperity.
While this mitzwah might have application to all the mamzer peoples
cited in Deuteronomy 23, it for sure applies to those outlined in Deuteronomy
23:2-6 (which seem to involve mixes with the behemah humanoids).
The
question of hating certain peoples, as allowed by the Essenes and in Matthew
5:43, was discussed in a prior chapter (at least, in the vein of hatred of
Edomites). The NT idea of hate surfaces
in the Greek word “misco” which may not refer to hate in the psychological
sense at all; but rather, to disowning, renunciation and rejection, as pointed
out by the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament” (v. IV, p. 690).
So
while the Word perhaps does not teach outright hatred of any of the classes of
non-Adamic or mixed peoples, per se, the Book does make it abundantly clear to
stay away from them and don’t have any dealings with them (in other words, the
message is one of racial segregation which modern peoples simply cannot
understand).
As
a minimum, the modern activities of the United States and other Western
Christian nations to run around the Third World to evangelize the Coloreds; to
meddle in the internal affairs of the Coloreds; to grant the Coloreds huge
pay-offs (in the vein of foreign aid or whatever); and to integrate, mix and
miscegenate with the Coloreds are manifestly all wrong without a doubt.
The
whole focus of the Sermon on the Mount was directed at religious brethren and
had little or nothing to do with secular people at all. Actually, in secular society, if someone hits
you and you turn the other cheek, he will often hit you again.
YESHUA’s
Words were primarily for the brethren in the Body (one to another, within the
fellowship, and only in some limited ways with their relationship or contact
with outsiders--perhaps in terms of government control over the disciples, as
will be discussed in comments to follow).
Harold Hemenway, Revisited
The
previously quoted Harold Hemenway has a booklet out on “What Does It Mean to
‘Turn the Other Cheek’?” (p. 2-3) which addresses the subject of the so-called
Sermon on the Mount.
Hemenway
takes the position that the essence of many of the remarks made by YESHUA were
made in the context of government authority over man. For instance, in turning the other cheek, the
point is that historically government rulers and police powers have slapped
people around--both figuratively and physically. The only reaction one can take when arrested
by Big Brother is to turn the other cheek.
In
other situations, when someone in the secular society attempts to oppress the
believer, there is no such thing as turn the other cheek. Hemenway quotes II Corinthians 11:20--to the
effect that when someone takes advantage of the believer, strikes the believer
in the face or exhibits some other abuse or oppression on a believer, the
believer doesn’t have to tolerate it.
Although
the basic reality of the message from YESHUA is focused upon the believer and
the believer’s contact with other believers, Hemenway’s remarks add some
further clarification and interpretation.
Thus, the believer is inevitably forced to submit to government
persecution or flee, as the case may be (to be discussed in later chapters
herein).
Thus,
brethren in a true fellowship would turn the other cheek to the brethren (just
as fleshly humans would do with their fleshly families). And also, they would be forced to take abuse
or assaults from government authorities.
When people are arrested and hauled off to jail in a dictatorial state,
they can be expected to be tortured and abused (yes, even by Americans, as will
be later discussed).
But
none of this mandates that the believer must turn the other cheek to people out
in the generic society. As II
Corinthians 11:19-21 notes, it is clear enough that one is not obligated to
take abuse from people outside the brotherhood.
If someone from the secular society breaks into my house and threatens
my family or home, this writer will fight back if possible.
The Huron Indians
The
reader may recall the situation with the Huron Indians of Southern Canada. They once were a large successful tribe which
stood up to their numerous Indian enemies.
In
time, the French Catholic missionaries came with teachings about pacifism and
humanism. So the Hurons abandoned their
warlike attitudes and tried to be brothers with their Indian enemies. Within just a few years, all of the Hurons
were captured, killed and utterly destroyed by other Indians. Today, they are just a part of history.
It
would have to be a rare situation that turning the other cheek in society at
large would bring about any real love and reconciliation, as would be the case
between two siblings of common parents or two brethren in YESHUA’s election. Obviously, pacifism and humanism are not the
answers in secular society.
The Basis of YESHUA’s Teachings
Having
mentioned YESHUA’s famous Sermon on the Mount and His fabulous teachings about
real brotherly love to His disciples, it would be well here to take a few minutes
and regress to the Tanakh which was the foundation and basis for His teachings
about true brotherly love.
Perhaps
it would be best initially to recall the earlier remarks herein on the
wonderful Hebrew words of hesed and rea (which were covered in a prior
chapter). Because these words were
incorrectly translated in the Greek Septuagint, a bias was developed which
meant that all subsequent translations of the Greek OT or NT into English and
other languages would be contaminated with this prejudice.
Consequently,
hesed came to be unilateral mercy and rea came to be neighbour (from a
physical, geographical point of view).
But both of these ideas are wrong.
Hesed is a mutual relationship found in the covenant--usually, in the
context of the Congregation of Yisrael (Hebrew qahal, discussed earlier). The Hebrew rea refers to racial kinsmen and
not to men in the generic sense.
With
this basic thinking, there are a whole host of mitzwot in the OT which place
duties upon Israelites in dealings with fellow Israelites in an entirely
different manner than other types of humans/humanoids.
Here,
mention can be made to vast topics like love, deeds and acts of charity,
commercial dealings, gossip and talk, offering aid and assistance, slandering,
taking interest or gain and on and on (as outlined in the 613 mitzwot).
Even
the basic conversion laws establishing and allowing non-Israelites to enter the
Congregation of Yisrael were predicated upon a racial definition. Yes, it was the same racial people as Yisrael
who could convert (the gerim, discussed earlier) and not the nokri and
non-Adamic kinds.
Differentiation?
The
mitzwot in the Torah offer a whole host of requirements for genetic Israelites
and their fellow gerim that simply do not apply to the nokri/nekar
non-Shemites/non-Adamites--like the seventh year release from slavery, eating
unclean foods, taking a pledge, charging interest etc.
Many
sincere religious Jews are much aware of these distinctions in the Tanakh (as
pointed out in a prior chapter).
Therefore, they treat their Jewish brethren in a far different way than
how they treat the goyim (the non-Jews).
This Jewish clannishness and favoritism, one to another, upsets a lot of
Christians, who simply are ignorant about what the Torah says (also as noted
earlier).
The
truth is that the OT lays down commandments (mitzwot) for Israelites on how
they must treat their fellow Israelites and the gerim which are considerably
different than how other peoples must be treated by law.
In
the NT, YESHUA came along and applied most of those laws and concepts precisely
to the racial brethren in His election (the Apostolic Assembly). This is the essence of the Sermon on the
Mount and most of the other NT teachings.
They were never teachings for man in the generic sense at all. They were very limited teachings for racial
brethren in the election generally and very elect in particular--one to
another.
Thus,
the 613 mitzwot in the OT are directed at the collective people of Yisrael (in
commandments, statutes and judgments).
In the NT, YESHUA and the Apostolic Assembly people issued 1,050 more
judgments (as noted earlier) which amplified and clarified those 613 for
specifically the NT election. Thus, the
basic law of Yisrael is the 613 in the Tanakh.
These laws are further clarified/focused in the NT for the
election.
Love Concepts in Sun Worship
While
it is almost certain that the false sun worship concepts of the brotherhood of
man and love started very quickly with the earliest sun worshippers (perhaps
Cain, Nimrod and/or Zoroaster), the first clear quotation which this writer
could find was from the Greek Thales (born 636 BCE) who advocated love of
neighbor (“What the Great Religions Teach,” p. 106).
Years
later, the religion of Mithraism picked upon the theme and evidently made love
and the brotherhood of man much of its primary message (“What the Great
Religions Teach,” p. 99-100).
Perhaps
all of the old sun worship cults were influenced by the Zoroastrian sun deity
Ahura Mazda who was known for being a “God of Light and Goodness” (per “What
the Great Religions Teach,” p. 99).
Next,
sun worship Buddhism is supposed to be a “religion of love” offered in service
to mankind. It teaches that the secret
of life is love--advocating cultivation of love without measure toward all
beings and bowing in the four directions of the compass until love encompasses
all the world (“What the Great Religions Teach,” p. 62).
When
revelations surfaced in 1997 that some Buddhist monks and nuns at a CA
monastery (the Hsi Lai temple) violated US campaign laws in April 1996 (after
they had illegally laundered something around $140,000 to donate to the
visiting US Vice President Al Gore), the thoughtful, loving Buddhists proceeded
to destroy all of the documents and papers in their monastery about these law
violations (did they have a paper shredder in the monastery?).
Is
this encompassing love--per Buddha? Or
alternatively, were these actions simply recommendations and guidance from the
Christian, New Age, humanist, earth loving, sun worshipping Al Gore?
A
later chapter will describe the efforts of the Clinton Administration (which
assuredly included Vice President Al Gore) to use paper shredders in the
destruction of documents which could prove embarrassing or damaging to Clinton
or his people. Perhaps this prevailing
influence of evil and wretchedness in the Clinton White House influenced the
Buddhists in some manner to cover up their illegal activities.
Another
religion of believed “love” is the Christian Church of Scientology. A news report in Jan 2000 noted that this
church released some photos of one of its rallies in Los Angles which
supposedly drew 14,000 followers. Later,
an analysis of the photos by an expert revealed that they had been altered (Jan
17, 2000, “Spotlight,” p. 2). The church
finally admitted the charges--supposedly, for aesthetic reasons.
More on Gore
While
Al Gore, the former Vice President, is clearly not as totally corrupt and
depraved as is Clinton, the nation’s continuing moral example, Gore does have
some problems. A news report in the Nov
29-Dec 5, 1999, “Washington Times” (p. 16) said that Gore was like Clinton in
that he would do anything to win in his political campaign. This means telling any lie and going to any
extreme to deceive and fool the gullible public.
This
revelation on Gore means that the loving Buddhists at the Hsi Lai temple must
have gotten something in return for the $140,000 which they gave to Gore and
the Democrats. Sure enough, a report in
the Dec 20, 1999, “Newsweek” (p. 4) revealed “More Temple Trouble for Al?” It seems that an immigration consultant named
Maria Hsia (apparently a Chinese woman ) arranged Al’s trip to the Buddhist
monastery.
Some
four months after he got the money, Maria wrote a letter to Elaine Kamarck, a
top Gore aide, and mentioned a conversation that she had had with Gore at a
fund raiser in San Francisco in which he promised to help her in getting the
Hsi Lai temple designated as a federally sanctioned testing center for Asian
immigrants applying for US citizenship (would this act allow the temple to
determine who passes and who fails the tests?).
Another
Gore aide faxed Maria’s letter to the Immigration and Naturalization Service
with a note which said: “Please have the
right people get in touch with Hsia.”
When a Senate committee investigated Gore’s appearance, this letter was
never made available to them. Whether it
was deliberately hid or mistakenly hid is uncertain.
In
any case, a woman named Victoria Cummock was on a panel investigating aviation
security. Victoria’s husband was killed
in the Pan Am 103 crash in Lockerbie, Scotland.
Apparently, the Clinton team was hiding documents on the crash. So Victoria sued for access to the full
records. It was then that Hsia’s letter
mysteriously appeared in the aviation records.
The Clinton team says that it was misfiled.
The Fruits of Humanism
The
bottom line at this point is that Christian America has become a Christian
humanist (or Socialist) nation. She
became that way largely under FDR back in the 1930s. The last 70 years or so have seen dramatic
changes in this country and among her citizens.
People no longer think and act the way that they use to think and
act. Some would call this progress. But is it?
The
December 1999 “Destiny Letter” had an article by Dr William H. Curtis on “The
Seed of Isaac” which struck at the changes in America and what all is wrong
here in the early 21st century. Curtis
wrote about the awareness of what’s wrong and wondered where to start with his
assessment. He said:
“Shall
we talk about ‘usury’ which is nothing more than avarice on a gigantic
scale? Maybe the place to begin is with
the media, as they flood us with the most UN-godly material in the history of
the world; not to mention the news spins of current events that are leveled at
us daily, which for all practical purposes are ‘one-sided’ and sometimes so
distorted that ‘truth’ is hidden and not to be known.
“Politics
might be the best place to start as we all know the benefits of being in
office... any office. We are faced with
a constant barrage of lies, false promises and downright thievery in all
quarters of political life. Have you
ever met a truly ‘honest’ politician? I
have met only one, here in my home state, and indeed he is a credit to all that
our country stood for in its early history.
“Life
in Washington or any State Capital is like a Disneyland experience; a world of
fantasy. The expectation of most
incoming politicians is that of ‘perks’ and ‘what’s in it for me.’
“Life
in these United States (or any other House of Yisrael country--ed) is not what
it was in former years. Our Constitution
and Bill of Rights have come to be meaningless as a guide to Freedom and
Liberty. The ‘politically correct’ gang
have changed the meaning of moral righteousness into ‘live and let live’ and
‘if it feels good...do it’ mentality.
“As
‘they’ come out of the closet, we are asked to go ‘into the closet’ with our
opinions of homosexuality. Our young
people are exposed to every form of debauchery and evil on the Internet and TV;
and in the schools, history has been rewritten so that the politically
incorrect information that was once proudly learned and revered is either
missing or distorted.
“We
are now the 30th in the world in regards to educational proficiency. Someone once called this the ‘dumbing down of
America.’ Lack of discipline and
permissiveness is rampant in all our schools and promiscuity is at a level as
never before in history.” Curtis says he
could go on and on with the conditions in modern America.
Yes, the Truth
And
it is true. There seems to be no end to the
problems here. They are very prevalent
and commonplace. Succeeding chapters
herein will assess these problems and relate them to the American adoption of
humanism/Socialism as public policy some 70 years ago when the Amalekite
Franklin Roosevelt and his theories took over the United States.
As
will be proven herein, humanism (or Socialism) has not been a good thing for
America. The America that once was is no
more. It is now history. And it would seem that much of the impetus
for this resulting change must be laid to the door of the embracing of
humanism/Socialism in the vein of Christian righteousness.
Humanists Are Classic Hypocrites
Several
points have been made about the situation in the United States with the
political and religious Socialists and humanists and their great push to get
the government involved in all facets of human life and to impose their
theories and speculations of what constitutes “good” and of their hypothetical
concepts of love of neighbour.
When
the student of truth looks carefully at this whole situation, a most
fascinating truth emerges. While these
liberals and do gooders like to see government involvement and the expenditures
of vast sums of government moneys to supposedly correct all the wrongs, the
truth is that these same hypocrites are tight and selfish with their own money
and resources.
Many
of these people are in the rich and super rich classes. How much of their money, time and resources
do they expend to alleviate the needs of the poor? How much have they done personally to elevate
the status of the Negro in an effort to make him more civilized and
humane?
How
much has the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers and the Hollywood people ever done
for the poor and needy? The truth is
that most of the rich and super rich persons with the big mouths are themselves
quite proud and selfish and they really do little or nothing on their own. In short, they are hypocritical frauds!
Other
comments herein have or will assess the strange reality that many of the super
rich plutocrats, who call the shots and elect politicians, are supposedly
environmentalists and humanists as well.
Yet,
by a strange quirk, these exact same people own and/or control the gigantic
multi-national corporations (which do most of the polluting and destruction of
the environment). Surely, this is a
perfect illustration of hypocrisy.
A Revisit to the 2000 Elections
The
2000 elections offer many outstanding examples of the hypocrisy of the super
rich and all of their talk about caring when they don’t care at all. A perfect sample arose in the US Senatorial
race in the state of New Jersey. One of
the important candidates was a super rich, fat cat Bilderberger, named Jon
Corzine (an apparent Amalekite, who was formerly the chairman of Wall Street’s
Goldman Sachs), previously cited.
Jon
Corzine was an ultra liberal, who entered the fray as a Democrat. Per a news report on Oct 10, 2000, he spent
some $35 million of his own money in the primary campaign. As of October 2000, he had spent another $40
million of his own money against a Republican named Frank (who had very little
money to spend).
Corzine
has gained some notoriety for donating money to people who would later endorse
and support him (Oct 30, 2000, “Spotlight,” p. 9). For example, he donated $25,000 to the Black
AME Church in Orange, NJ. Subsequently,
the Black pastor, Reginald Jackson, endorsed him. Jon donated $50,000 to Jesse Jackson’s
Project Push. Thereupon, Jesse
campaigned with Jon in Black neighborhoods.
All
of these big donations have come from Corzine’s family foundation. Since the foundation is tax exempt and since
his donations have been to tax exempt groups, one must wonder why the liberals
have not come out to denounce the whole operation as being illegal, per IRS
rules.
But
of course, no one will say anything about this operation since it involves a
loving liberal giving money to Blacks (actually, his operation has been one of
buying votes from Blacks). Since Corzine
did ultimately win, this has proven to be one of the most classic illustrations
of all of how a rich man can absolutely buy an election.
$500 Per Capita
By
the time of the November elections, this Democrat fraud ended up spending
something over $80 million of his own money.
In terms of the voting public in New Jersey, this will total out to
something around $500 per voter, per capita.
This man has already proven to be the biggest spender of his own money
to be elected in American history.
In
campaign ads, this ultra-liberal hypocrite has publicly outlined his care and
concern for the so-called poor. He
quickly came out in support of free medical care and other federal give away
programs (at the expense of the taxpayers).
He wants the US taxpayers to finance a whole series of new welfare
programs.
But
anyone with brains above the moron level should be able to put two and two
together and get the real picture of this ultra-liberal fraud.
If
he was such a compassionate, caring person, why hasn’t he just given away his
$80 million plus to the poor in New Jersey.
At $500 per capita to the voting public, this sum of money would have
went a long way in helping poor people with their doctor bills.
Certainly,
if he was such a loving and caring person, the give away of $500 to each New
Jersian would have been a real gesture of putting his deeds where his mouth
was. But the truth was that this
hypocrite cared not one whit for the poor.
What he was interested in was being elected a US Senator from the state
of New Jersey. This would give him
personal power, prestige and pride to inflate his ego.
The
reality of outright hypocrisy undermines the entire humanistic theology. One can detect it in almost all activities
which the humanists and their Socialist colleagues get involved in. As this topic is further examined, the
reality of hypocrisy will become an important factor of identification for them
and their talk.
Chapter
285--Christianity’s Gospel and Evangelism
The Right Perspective On Salvation
In
terms of the particulars relating to reconciliation and salvation, previous
chapters in this work focused on the questions of election, reconciliation and
the purpose of YHWH. They all presented
some relevant Scriptures which describe the basis of the Good News message and
its preaching extensively and need not be repeated here.
The
final reconciliation of the Adam kind (Rom 11:32; I Cor 15:22), nokri/nekar (in
Hebrew) aliens (Isa 56:3-7) and beasts of the field (in Hebrew, the behemah, Ps
36:5-6; Jer 31:27; but Eccl 3:21 may have a contrary position) do not have to
be forced into fulfillment the last 1975 years, as has been pointed out in the
just mentioned previous chapters on reconciliation.
There
is a precisely established order to salvation (I Cor 15:23). It is not a question of whether on the
salvation of Adam, but only one of when.
Respecting
this reality of what the Word says, all eligible persons for reconciliation
will be addressed in their proper sequence.
No one will be short changed on this.
So, in order for the Word of YHWH to be true, one doesn’t need to have
had salvation preached to every living soul these past two millenniums.
And
here, by the way, the Good News positively has not been preached to every
living person these past 2,000 years--notwithstanding Christianity's vast
efforts and stated desires in the context of her alleged "divine"
commission. Hence, if The EVERLIVING ONE
did give Christendom a mandate to take the Gospel to the world, then she has
failed miserably and He goofed grossly in making such a grant.
Christian Perceptions About
Salvation
This
publication has already went to some length to conclusively establish that
there are inherent problems in Christendom.
Tragically, for the world during the past 2,000 years, the Christian
Church has done little in terms of promoting truth. Her focus (unknowingly) has consistently been
on the elevation of heathen sun worship and not on the Scriptures.
Beyond
the many aspects of sun worship practices incorporated into Christianity and
the Western culture, there is yet one more glaring and pathetic quality of sun
worship which has completely dominated Christian thought for the past two
millennia. This awful feature has been
mentioned somewhat in prior chapters.
The
essence of this idea is in the concept of the brotherhood of man and that any,
all and every man of whatever kind and station in life can become a full
fledged Christian sun worshipper by performing some act or action with a view
of sharing in the believed rewards and benefits, both in this present life and
in a future life in heaven as an immortal soul.
The
Chrishna (“Christ”) spokesman Apollonius (discussed at length in previous
chapters) typified this view with his teachings on humanism and the unification
of the different races and creeds into one body in the context of the
“brotherhood of man.” Of course, this
philosophy permeates all of the different sun worship factions, as well as
Christendom.
Moreover,
the whole process of attaining salvation (with the immortal soul going to
heaven at death), in all of the old sun worship cults, also involved the
decision and works by any and all humans to choose it (the path or way) and
perform some act or action, as prescribed by the sun worship group (church or
whatever).
Typically,
this work consisted of baptism and often certain penitence and “good”
(humanistic) deeds, as was true in Mithraism and most of the rest of the sun
worship cults.
And
while this thinking of personal choice and works sounds good to modern liberals
(and thus, it is being actively promoted today by the Roman Catholic Church, as
well as by Christianity, in general, in the modern ecumenical movement), the
truth is that it is totally foreign in both the Hebrew and Greek Testaments.
Per
the Word, the whole process to salvation is something totally different from
what historic sun worshippers have advocated and maintained (as described
earlier).
Christian Evangelism
As
Christians behold this topic from their lofty, sanctimonious and pompous perch
of status and authority, they perceive a need to not only send out; but also,
to try to flood the globe with a huge assortment of preachers, missionaries and
evangelists to go to all possible non-Christian peoples of whatever class and
kind throughout the world.
They
look upon this labor as one of their primary objectives and functions just as
the old sun worship cults did. This is
what Christianity is all about. The name
of the game is to get as many new proselytes as possible.
Christians
are obsessed with numbers and they mistakenly function on the premise that YHWH
is interested in quantity, rather than in quality (maybe, this obsession with
numbers is the basis for the now exploding popularity in new “mega-church
congregations,” presently surfacing all over America and drawing up to 20,000
members or worshippers each--as reported in the Aug 2001 “Internet Vortex,” p.
16).
In
any case, those "lucky" individuals who are "fortunate"
enough to hear and receive the Christian story from these messengers can
achieve a state of salvation by doing some act or action--like saying certain
words, crying and moaning in supposed repentance over some of the many sins in
their lives, and/or muttering some unintelligible gibberish from a demon.
Conversely,
some denominations advocate that the road to grace and reconciliation involves
standing up in a meeting, running or parading down a church aisle, being
baptized in a certain fashion, having some (pagan) hands laid upon them, attending
an altar call, and/or on and on in terms of what Churchianity declares to be
needed in order to be saved.
Paradoxically,
it is useful to observe that while the Book teaches that salvation cannot be
gained by any works or efforts of men, Christendom comes along and tells
ignorant fools that they achieve grace by doing some action--such as speaking
some meaningless words like "I believe in Gee-Zeus," standing up in a
meeting, muttering some gibberish, being baptized or doing some of the other
"works," as just outlined.
That's Tough
Alternatively,
in the past (perhaps even all the way back to Adam), and presently, those
multiplied millions and billions of people not hearing the message from a
Christian and not performing the stipulated act are just “unlucky” and are
hopelessly consigned to eternal brimstone and hell fire.
This
theology comes from the various sun worship faiths just as almost everything
else in Christendom. From the Christian
perspective, the fact that no Christian preacher reached them in the last 2,000
years is no excuse.
It
is just too bad that many persons may have died young or lived in remote and
inaccessible areas of Asia and Africa or under very oppressive dictator
governments (like the Communists) or within the confines of religious states
(like the militant Moslems of Iran) or something else which surfaced to become
a barrier to keep the Christian dispatch from reaching them.
Consequently,
those persons who died as small children or who lived in the wrong time or
place and were not reached loses out in this struggle for life. As most of Christendom sees it, these lost
ones must suffer in horrible, burning hellfire for eternity because of their
“misfortune” of not living long enough or in the right situation to get the
report from Churchianity.
In
this Christian (and sun worship) view, vast numbers of people and in some
instances, whole nations are consigned to the Devil for his good pleasure in
jabbing them with his pitchfork forever and forever. Why?
Why because they simply didn't get the word from a sun worshipping
Christian.
A "Christian" Work?
In
short, Churchianity's perception of salvation coming to unredeemed man is
almost always couched in the context of whether a Christian representative has
reached them or not in the last 2,000 years (and what about the people living
during the 4,000 years before 30 CE?).
Clearly, this ridiculous thinking won't hold water if a person will but
stop and think about it for a minute.
Those
persons whom are alive in the right time and right place are contacted and can
perform the supposed necessary "works" to become a Christian and to
be saved for the wonderful bliss of floating around on clouds in heaven for
eternity. Of course, this was also the
basic teaching of the old sun worship faiths.
Conversely,
those individuals alive in the wrong time or wrong place can expect a future of
everlasting damnation and suffering in a horrible burning hellfire--simply
because they didn't hear the word from a Christian. Once more, this belief comes from the historic
sun worship cults.
Apparently,
small babies are in the same category as other lost people out in the
world. If they die without getting the
proper word from a Christian, or if they never get a chance for Christian
baptism or whatever, they will burn for ever in hellfire and brimstone. Again, this is sun worship theology, pure and
simple.
That’s
right! If Christian missionaries (or
some of the ancient sun worshipping missionaries) don’t reach the billions of
innocent and helpless persons out in the world, they are consigned to hell
forever simply because they die without getting the word in their
lifetime. And that’s the essence of much
of sun worship theology.
The Attitude of Christian Leaders
Previous
chapters on the paganism and sun worship practices found in contemporary
Christian Churches discussed the closed Christian pulpits and how Christian
preachers and leaders talk down to the dumb sheep without allowing any
dissension or differences of opinion, as historically surfaced in the open
forums of Jewish synagogues.
The
Rush Limbaugh radio talk show program of Sep 18, 1998, discussed the question
of partisanship in the context of how Republicans and Democrats were reacting
to the Slick Clinton scandal and the question of the Congressional release of
information from the Starr report to the public.
The
Democrats argued that nothing should be released while the Republicans opted
for a full release of the report and its attached evidence. Limbaugh offered an interesting perspective
on this question of partisanship.
Rush’s
point was that Democrats (and especially liberal Democrats and the controlled
liberal media) say that a Republican is bi-partisan when the Republican agrees
with the Democrats. If the Republican
disagrees, then he/she is partisan and practicing partisan politics.
This
very situation gives rise to what one typically finds in discussions and
attempted dialogue with various denominational Christian preachers and leaders;
and particularly, Holy Rollers (to be
described later). If one agrees with
them, then everything is wonderful. If
one disagrees, then he or she is creating strife and argument. Disagreeing people are called trouble makers
and antagonists.
This
hypocritical wickedness seems to predominate in much of Christian thinking and
particularly as Christian missionaries go out into the world to proselyte and
convert the world’s heathens to their denominational positions.
The Start of Christian Evangelism
Incidentally,
a later chapter will focus upon early Christianity in Rome and the work of its
likely founder Simon Magus. Hence, there
is no need to examine that environment in the context of evangelism in any
detail at this time.
But
it is interesting that Darrell W. Conder, in “Mystery Babylon and the Lost Ten
Tribes in the End Time” (p. 142), builds a case that one of the first acts of
the Roman Catholic Church in its infancy was the sending out of missionaries
into various parts of the Roman Empire.
Conder
called these missionaries specially trained troops who had the task of
assimilation. He suggests that they were
to leave no one out and that religious compromise became their key to success.
The
Jan-Feb 2003 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 38) quoted the previously mentioned author F.
Tupper Saussy who said: “Playing loose
with truth and Scripture in order to bring every human creature into subjection
to the Roman Pontiff is a technique called ‘missionary adaptation.’
“This
is explained as ‘the adjustment of the mission subject to the cultural
requirements of the mission object’ so that the papacy’s needs will be brought
‘as much as possible in accord with existing socially shared patterns of
thought, evaluation, and action, so as to avoid unnecessary and serious
disorganization.’”
These
early Catholic preaching and adaptation techniques changed somewhat by the time
that the Protestants arrived on the scene with their exclusive and domineering
positions, as suggested in the above comments on political partisanship. The modern ecumenical movement is changing
much of this today however.
Yes,
the Christian pitch has been for all to come to Gee-Zeus and Christianity
without regard to the question of election, choice and commission, discussed in
previous chapters. The brotherhood of
man has always dominated Christian evangelism (because, as Saussy notes, the
Catholic outreach was predicated upon socially shared thought).
The Truth Is!
While
the Book does describe such things as faith and repentance for salvation (Jo
3:15-16; 6:40; 11:25-27; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30), the truth is that they come
only as free gifts--the gift of faith (I Cor 1:21; 12:8-9; Eph 2:8) and the
gift of repentance (Matt 9:13; Mk 2:17; Lu 5:32; Acts 5:31; 11:18; Rom 2:4; II
Tim 2:25) and involve absolutely no works, tasks, actions etc by the called out
ones.
Beyond
the fact that the necessary faith and repentance for salvation comes as free,
unmerited gifts, it is useful to recognize that they come “only” to a select
group of people (the elect) in a preordained, predetermined or predestined
fashion (Jo 6:37, 44; Acts 13:48; Rom 8:29-30; Eph 1:5, 11).
They
don’t seem to fall on persons by chance, although random selection (by the lot)
seems to have been involved in their initial election by YHWH in the
beginning. These questions have been
addressed in some detail in the previous chapters in this production on
election and reconciliation.
Consequently,
salvation or life comes to the called out ones as free gifts of grace (Jo 4:10;
Acts 8:20; Rom 5:15; Eph 3:7). There is
just no way that an individual can do anything or perform any work, duty or
action for salvation. Too, no person on
his or her own can ever begin to exhibit, muster or attain the necessary “true”
faith and repentance, as is required for election and salvation.
Certainly,
standing up in a meeting, rolling upon the floor, hurrying to a pagan Christian
altar, publicly crying or moaning over a “few” of the multitude of sins
present, being baptized by a heathen preacher, running down a church aisle,
speaking certain words, muttering some gibberish from a demon and a host of
other such “works” have absolutely nothing to do with the receipt of the gift
of grace and the attainment of a true state of salvation.
The
receipt of true salvation and The Real RUACH HA KODESH is entirely different
from what Christendom has been telling its followers for the past 2,000
years. Truth and Christian theology are
in different ballparks.
Although
this writer has been citing the Christian belief that a lost sinner must hear
the sun worship Gospel from a Christian and perform the necessary act, action
or work in order to be saved, some qualification is needed here before moving
on.
Denominationalism
Actually,
the vast majority of the 32,000 plus Christian denominations go one step
further by stipulating that their church or group, alone, has the
"truth," in contrast to the shortcomings of the other churches and
sects.
Per
this often prevailing view, it isn't only that the sinner must receive the word
from a Christian, but more importantly, from the "right" Christian
out of that mass of 32,000 different denominations. With this thinking, the lost person must make
contact with the "correct" Christian and then perform the required
act or action, as demanded by his or her particular group.
By
adding in these limiting factors, one can see that it has historically been
"out of the question" for the vast majority of sinners to ever
receive the message and do the prescribed work.
If one could relate this to statistical probabilities, it might well be
statistically impossible for the average or typical individual to ever have had
any hope of salvation these past 6,000 years.
Irrespective
of how utterly stupid this whole thinking appears to be, it is the backbone of
Christian sun worship theology. In this
view, grace is placed entirely in the perspective of a hit or miss
proposition--depending upon circumstances, which are often beyond the control
of mortal men. As a matter of
information, these stupid ideas are not what one finds in the Scriptures.
Spirit Guides
On
the subject of the denominational problem, some further comment must now be
made in the context of a follow-up to the previous discussion in a prior
chapter on the role of angels or messengers in directing, motivating and
controlling various human organizations on earth (Deut 32:8, per the
Septuagint).
A
study of the Word suggests that all of the Christian Churches (and many other
groups as well) and most or all of the false religious beliefs (including those
associated with the Sabbaths, feast days, times and calendar, since these
issues can be a little complicated, to be later discussed) have (angelic)
spiritual powers behind them, simultaneously influencing any number of
people.
The
demonic link to false religious teachings was brought out by Shaul when he
noted the influence of deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons upon people (I
Tim 4:1). The evidence is clear that
these demons place their false teachings into the minds of susceptible and
gullible people (by mental telepathy) who refuse to go the Scriptures to check
out the mental messages entering their conscious minds (I Jo 4:1).
In
the case of those groups possessing The ELOHIM’s (Seventh day Sabbath) sign of
identification (Ex 31:13-17; Ezek 20:12, 20), their domination and leadership
by spirit powers is abundantly established (Rev 1:20, 2:1, 12, 18; 3:1, 7,
14).
While
the case can be made that the power behind Philadelphia (Rev 3:7) is good,
there is every reason to suppose that the other spirits overseeing the
remaining six assemblies have or exercise bad qualities. In making this charge, it is not to say that
these six messengers or spirits are all demon spirits. Maybe they are or maybe they are not--as
suggested earlier.
But
it is likely that demon spirits are involved in much human activity and false
religious beliefs. So, in addition to
possibly an overseeing main spirit, it could be that there are any number of
other good or bad spirits also involved in influencing those particular six or
seven groups.
The Harlot System
Beyond
the seven congregations of Revelation 1-3, Yohanan’s work additionally brings
out the presence of the sun worshipping Christian Churches in Revelation 17:1-7
with the whore (Universal Church) and her harlot (protesting) daughters.
This
whole conglomeration is distinguished from the earlier ones of Revelation (1-3)
by their special “sign” of identification--outright, blatant (Sunday) sun
worship. In Revelation 17:5, 7, the
Greek word “musterion” has been translated to “mystery” in the KJV. It has a profound meaning for historic
Christianity.
The
“Expositor’s Greek Testament” (v. 5, p. 452) connects this musterion with the
idea of a symbol in identifying the woman Babylon. Since the Seventh day Sabbath was a sign or
symbol given to identify the people of The ELOHIM (Ex 31:16-17; Ezek 20:12,
20), is it not entirely logical that the whore woman Babylon would likewise
have a symbol or sign to identify her people?
Yes, and that sign is Sunday sun worship.
The
2,000 years of Christian history prove that Sunday has always been the worship
and set apart day of Christianity.
Christendom collectively has never kept the Sabbath, although some minor
Christian sects have kept the Seventh day Sabbath over the years. For certain, Sunday sun worship is the sign
that identifies the people of Christian Babylon.
With
these established linkages and with the reality that religious organizations
(good and bad) are allegorically women and with the Scriptural evidence that
spirit powers are behind these women, it’s not hard to put two and two together
and realize that all of the blatant (Sunday) sun worship Christian Churches
have spirit powers (surely evil, demon spirits) effectively in real
control.
Suffice
to say, these demonic spirit powers set up and control the various Christian
Churches, groups and beliefs. As noted
previously, they are very competitive and jealous. And these motivations certainly spill over
into their respective evangelistic efforts to proselytize and grow with
numbers, influence and strength.
Thus,
the push to preach their false, demonic teachings is carried on with zeal and
success in terms of a world given over to such powers.
Splits
Moreover,
some Church groups are notorious for splits--like the Baptists and the Sardis
people. In a spilt, another demon takes
over the broken off group to control it and the members that the spirit is able
to influence.
While
it is possible that outsider demons can come in to cause these divisions (so
that they can have their own groups), it is also possible that each Christian
group has a master demon in charge with some helper demons who precipitate
splits and internal dissension when and where possible.
It
is also possible that each religious group has a primary controlling spirit
with some additional influence from other spirits. These various spirits can be good or
bad. Hence, one must be careful about
automatically concluding that they are all good or all bad.
Preachers and Church Members Too
Because
of these ruling spirits behind the different churches and false doctrinal
beliefs, it now seems clear why people of a given church or of a certain false
belief are so incredibly fixed in a mesmerized state where it is virtually
impossible for an outsider to intellectually discuss theology with them, in the
context of the truth of the Scriptures.
Preachers
are grossly the worst in this category (Holy Roller preachers are the most
obvious in this and especially while they are on the podium
preaching)--although the denominational demon problem seems to affect all
participants in false worship and at all levels (from the top on down to the
bottom).
In
trying to have some dialogue with various Christian preachers over the years,
it seems that when these evil preachers are confronted with opposition to their
false teachings in a conversation that their demons really surface to
illustrate their presence. This writer
has seen these demon powers completely take over preachers to lead and guide
them in their attempts to oppose truth and righteousness.
In
attempting to put over their false beliefs and ideas, preachers, for sure, and
church members, generally, enter into a mesmerized, demonized state where they
irrationally parrot out the denominational pitch without any apparent logic or
reason. When these demons take over the
human minds, the subjected persons rattle off the denominational pitch, as if
they are in a trance.
Without
being dogmatic, the following appears to be reality. Take the case of any Christian Church (to
include even Sabbathkeeping groups)--like perhaps the Mormon Church. Not only does a demon control it, but the
demon controls the “thinking” of the church members and begins a process of
influence and control over any person who comes into contact with a Mormon
missionary from the perspective of conversion.
If
the potential proselyte succumbs and converts, he becomes “demonized” by the
Mormon demon through mental telepathy. Once
a person becomes demonized by one of these spirit guides behind one of the
Christian Churches (to include Israel Identity/Sacred Namers), it is extremely
difficult to break free. The Mormon,
Ellen White and Holy Roller spirits seem to be some of the strongest of
all.
Hence,
can an individual ever break this demonic hold?
Yes, but it is generally no easy proposition. Some denominational and doctrinal demons are
extremely powerful and fight hard to keep the dumb sheep locked in the false
group/teaching (even Sacred Namers can be subject to these spirits which are
very hard to conquer). They will not
give up without a struggle which is present in the mind of the hooked
person.
Breaking the Power
However,
it seems that in the generic sense there is a strong and prevalent SPIRIT OF
TRUTH operating in the world which can influence people and particularly if
people will study the Word and be open to the teachings of truth.
Certainly,
in the case of the election, who have guardian messengers overseeing their
lives, the guardian spirits will work things out over time so that the elect
individuals can see the fallacy of the false teachings from a Scriptural
perspective and gain the courage to stand up and break the demonic powers by
repenting and leaving the Christian Churches involved.
Also,
powerful spirits of the secular world can induce a Mormon or other Christian
back into the non-religious world of disbelief.
In other words, the person can abandon the Mormon Church and return to
his old lifestyle. Finally, a crisis or
gross problem can arise in a church to cause a blow up which shakes up some
members to force them to examine their false teachings.
For
example, a church can have a major adultery scandal at the top levels. As the dumb sheep find out, some will revolt
and leave the church for the traditional secular world or another church
entity, while others might turn to the Scriptures to take a step up in terms of
truth and righteousness. This was the
situation with the Worldwide Church of God, discussed previously.
The Mormons
The
condition with the Mormon Church is interesting here as well. Over the years, the Mormon Church has had two
major doctrinal changes which must have significantly impacted upon the faith
and belief of the dumb Mormons.
There
was first the change from polygyny to monogamy and second the change to accept
and elevate Negro members to the same status as White members. These changes may have motivated some Mormon
members to break the demonic hold they were under.
And
now, the latest bomb to come upon the Mormon Church arose in December 2002 when
a Mormon anthropologist named Thomas W. Murphy (a doctoral student) discovered
that the Book of Mormon is “a piece of 19th century fiction” (Dec 20, 2002,
“The Week,” p. 7).
Murphy
came to this conclusion when he checked the DNA data base on American Indians
which indicates that they were Mongolians who had migrated across the Bering
Strait to North America. The Book of
Mormon makes them outcast Israelites of some sort who migrated out of the
Middle East. The church is in an uproar
and there are threats to ex-communicate Murphy for daring to talk about the
real world.
Manifestly,
it appears that these denominational spiritual powers are so strong with mental
telepathy over church members and people of certain faiths that it is virtually
impossible to discuss true Scriptures with them so that they can ever break
free. Generally, they get mad and become
angry when someone tries to introduce something new or different (like putting
new wine in an old container--Matt 9:17).
The Edomite Exception
This
phenomenon seems to impact upon almost all humans/humanoids--except for perhaps
Edomites, who may be pretending to be Christians or Jews; but secretly, be
worshippers of Satan, as discussed earlier.
Christian denominational demons probably do not gain real power over
(pretending) Edomites, to displace the Satanic power that they already function
under.
Really It's YHWH's Work
Importantly,
The MESSIAH, Himself, offered some clarifying remarks on the question of true
conversion of people to Him and truth (to repeat them from previous
presentations).
He
said "all that the Father giveth me shall come to me" (Jo 6:37);
"no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father"
(Jo 6:65); and "ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you" (Jo
15:16). Also, as noted before, Yohanan
the Baptist said that "a man can receive nothing, except it be given him
from heaven (Jo 3:27).
These
Scriptures, just cited, present quite an enigma to the average Christian person
who has been thoroughly trained and educated to believe that the salvation of
man, or any man for that matter, depends upon the work of Christianity.
Actually,
as the Book teaches, salvation depends upon the "will, choice, election
and work" of The CREATOR (mainly, in His form as The MESSIAH).
Salvation
has never been and never will be dependent upon Christendom's wrong ideas about
some individual having to choose The EVERLIVING ONE based upon his/her own
initiative. In fact, the exact opposite
is true. Thus, it is and has always been
the case of YHWH choosing the very elect, as the Scriptures plainly
affirm.
No! The verity is that The ELOHIM doesn't operate
the way Christianity teaches at all, despite the popularity of Christian
thinking by worldly scholars, theologians and lay persons alike. Clearly, per the Word, those that can be
saved will have their calling before YHWH YESHUA. It never was or ever will be a hit or miss
proposition, as Churchianity has projected for their uninformed followers.
The
above few remarks have been very brief on a subject that really is quite
extensive and vast. As mentioned
earlier, in comments on the election, reconciliation and salvation of Adam, The
MOST HIGH is in charge and those supposed to be saved in this age (whose names
are written in the book of life) will be saved.
Christendom Is Wrong--Again!
Nevertheless,
the question persists as to exactly who were the people designated in the
Scriptures to be the recipients of the Good News message in the vein of the
kingdom? In her desire to raise money,
achieve growth, and make converts out of all of the Adam kind, nokri/nekar
strangers, chaiyah and behemah in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Africa,
obviously Christendom has completely missed the point.
That's
the findings that have been established herein.
And since the theme of this study has been the New Testament Good News
message, no particular effort has been expended herein to pursue the basis for
that thread in the Tanakh, although it could be so done.
Suffice
to say, YHWH's true religion and His dealings with so-called humanity from the
time of Yakov Yisrael (some 3,800 years ago) was always directed in the Old
Testament at the bloodline descendants of Yisrael (and "ger" aliens
who did legitimately become proselytes, as authorized in the Torah--Ex
12:48).
Therefore, why and how is it that
Christendom has assumed the prerogative to assert that the Gospel is to be
carried by missionaries and evangelists to all of the different kinds of
created peoples throughout the globe?
Could
the promotion of demonic humanism by Churchianity be propelling the push
world-wide to the nekar/nokri, mamzer, chaiyah and behemah peoples in Asia,
Africa, South America, North America, etc?
Chapter
286--The Abrahamic Faith Outreach
The Brotherhood of Man, Revisited
As
noted in previous remarks, the basic philosophy governing Christian evangelism
is the brotherhood of man theology, as promoted by demonic spirit powers in
virtually all Christian denominations (except perhaps for those in the
Christian Identity movement). As
discussed heretofore, this brotherhood of man theology is absolutely not
present in the Scriptures.
Though
subsequent chapters will focus upon this concept, in the context of modern
Christian humanism, good examples of it can often be found in the sense of
Christian evangelism. For a good
illustration of this condition, some attention can be directed to the Church of
God Abrahamic Faith and its work on the brotherhood of man.
This
church was mentioned in previous chapters herein. For a little more background on this entity,
it should be noted that this group came out of the famous Second Advent
movement led by William Miller in the 1830s-1840s.
This
Millerite movement ended for all purposes when its sweet Gee-Zeus did not
return in 1844, as anticipated.
Nevertheless, there were some fall-outs from it--like the Seventh-day
Adventists, the Advent Christians and this Church of God (originally called Age
to Come Adventists).
The
Abrahamic Faith people started small in the US Midwest in the 1850s and
eventually established their headquarters at Oregon, Illinois. Their membership was primarily found among
the traditional, White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant (WASP) Americans. They grew little over the years. But they were able to maintain a small
“Bible” College in Oregon.
They Reach Out
In
the late 20th century, someone sold this pagan group on the need to have a big
outreach to all kinds of Coloreds, in the context of the brotherhood of
man. It is unclear to this writer on
exactly when this desire first surfaced--but probably in the 1980s.
Early
on, the church particularly came to want a ministry in the big urban cities
which presumably would add numbers of Black people to their congregations. To achieve this end, they decided to move
their headquarters and college to Atlanta, Georgia. Apparently, they believed that there was a
fertile field of urban Blacks in Atlanta which they could minister to and
miscegenate with.
And
since their move, they have devoted specific efforts to bring into their sun
worship congregation these inner city Negroes (along with following the path of
traditional Christianity, by becoming feminized with the ordination and
selection of women as church pastors and leaders--this movement to feminization
alone would spell the doom of these sun worshippers, not counting the impact of
the gross miscegenation and amalgamation of the different races).
Speaking
at the 1999 general conference in St Louis, MO, the church president called for
a further expansion of their ministry to new cultures and racial groups. He said that many of them had been praying
for opportunities of outreach to others.
He reported that they had had outreach to Blacks and now prospects of
other non-Whites.
Certainly,
by early 2000, the church’s Board of Directors had formulated an outreach
program of “Multi-cultural, Multi-generational, Multi-racial and International
in scope” (May-Jun 2002 “Church of God Progress Journal,” p. 2).
The Benefit of the Payroll
Evidently,
in order to proceed with this “reaching out” concept, this church has hired
some charismatic Coloreds to work full time at their Atlanta headquarters. In particular, they have hired full time
Coloreds to be “recruitment coordinators.”
Apparently, it has been the job of these recruiting coordinators to find
interested Blacks, Hispanics and Asians to join the church or at least to
enroll in the church college.
Obviously,
it should not take many brains above the idiot level to figure out that by
putting some charismatic Coloreds on the payroll (and giving them a nice
paycheck regularly) that they will have some success in recruiting some of
their Colored friends and relatives to either come to church or at least enroll
in the college (and especially, if their enrollment is somehow subsidized by
the church, as is often the case with Christian Churches and their outreach to
Coloreds).
In
the vein of racial miscegenation and amalgamation, this sun worship group seems
to be having some success. It appears
that they have already actively promoted interracial marriages between Coloreds
and Whites (involving at least three couples, including one of their Black
employees and a credulously foolish White--Nov-Dec 2000, “Church of God
Progress Journal,” p. 1).
Surely,
more actions to miscegenate and amalgamate the races are on the way as this
group promotes the sun worship “brotherhood of man.” By mixing the Colored employees in with White
employees at the various levels, they all get to experience racial
amalgamation--even more so than what they would normally face at weekly sun
worship services.
More So-Called Success
By
2000, one Korean man had enrolled in the Abrahamic Faith Bible College.
He
said that the Abrahamic Church people could substantiate their teachings
directly from the “Bible” --while presumably, the other Christian Churches or
at least the ones he had been associating with could not do so (though not
mentioned, the truth is that none of the Christian sun worship churches can
substantiate many or any of their teachings from the Scriptures).
This
Korean apparently has been on the church payroll in some capacity. Accordingly, he has been made a pastor and
has had some measure of success in recruiting Koreans to form a “Korean
Church.” It is unclear how much money
this effort is costing the General Conference.
But one can be sure that it has been an expensive undertaking (to put
these non-Whites on the church payroll).
Late
2002 saw this church announce that it had licensed its first African-American
pastor--Rufus A. Meyers (Nov-Dec 2002 “Progress Journal,” p. 8). Per the news report, Meyers has started a
“church planting” operation in his hometown of Hampton, Georgia. He expects to hold his first worship services
in January 2003. He has invited church
members for prayer; and if possible, “financial assistance.”
This
Hampton church will be called “The Simple Teachings Bible Church” (one thing
for sure, its focus won’t be upon the total Scriptures--although it may use a
few New Testament texts which supposedly support the Abrahamic Faith
theology).
As
has been undoubtedly true with the Korean work, it is a certainty that this
Black work will cost the Abrahamic Faith denomination a barrel of money before
it’s all over. Students of truth are
well aware that with many of these Colored undertakings, it is like throwing
money down a black pit. But the
Abrahamic Faith people will love it--all the way.
The Church of God Missionary
Outreaches
At
the above just mentioned 1999 conference in St Louis, the president of the
church went on to express the church’s collective “joy” at having contacts
overseas in Malawi, India, Mexico, Ghana, the Philippines and many other African
countries--plus prospects in Austria, Hungary and by all means Haiti which will
be shortly addressed below (Jul-Aug 1999 “Church of God Progress Journal,” p.
3).
In
the year 2000, the Abrahamic Faith people sent a racially integrated team of
“Christian missionaries” (six Whites and one Black woman--the wife of one of
the White men) to Malawi and Mozambique to visit their Black African churches
(where they allegedly have 65 churches and 6,000 members).
The
“Church of God Progress Journal” (Nov-Dec 2000, p. 1-2) offered a report on the
work of this team. Per the story, the
team members experienced a “miracle” in Mozambique where they attended a
conference with their African flock (including a meeting with the church’s 17
Black preachers in Africa).
Evidently,
the team had made arrangements for its quarters at a rest house. However, the three rooms desired (or
reserved) were rented to other parties.
So it seemed that the team didn’t have a suitable and decent place to
stay (per Western standards). But the
“miracle” happened when a Church of Christ pastor helped them find some
suitable quarters at a newly decorated facility above a local bank.
Hence,
the team members had a place to stay while meeting with their Black brethren at
the church conference. It’s hard to
imagine that this event could be described as a miracle, but that was the way
the sun worship church described the event.
When
reading this missionary report and the reported “miracle,” this writer wondered
why it was that these American missionaries could not find a place to stay with
their many Black preachers or members in Mozambique and why it took a miracle
for them to have housing.
It
seems strange that the American team of largely Whites could not or would not
stay with their local Black brethren. Is
it possible that the Negro brethren of these Americans refused to extend
hospitality to their visitors?
Or
alternatively, is it plausible that the American team looked down upon their
Negro brothers and decided that they did not want to stay in their African huts
and eat their local foods and drink their water? If this last option represents truth, one
must conclude that this team of missionaries for Gee Zeus were practicing gross
racial discrimination against their Black brethren.
In
the vein of the brotherhood of man, surely the Black and White people are all
the same and should be able to mix, live and eat together. Hospitality and social intercourse are
cardinal points of teaching in the Scriptures for believers. So something was wrong with what happened
with this racially integrated group in Mozambique.
More on Haiti
In
terms of Haiti, as noted above, this church sent a missionary team to
Port-au-Prince in February 2001 to ascertain missionary opportunities (Mar-Apr
2001 “Church of God Progress Journal,” p. 1).
Like in Africa, the missionary team members elected to stay in a special
missionary house which was clean and not dirty and pathetic, as is the case for
most of the local homes and facilities (Jun-Jul 2001 “Restitution Herald,” p.
6).
The
team members had had previous contact with a Haitian preacher (named Lesly
Bertrand) who was interested in affiliating with their church. So there was hope that they could link in
with the Colored Haitians (as happened).
The
Voodoo island of Haiti already has a form of Christianity in its blend of
Catholicism and primitive Black religions.
One would have to wonder what in the world these Church of God people
have in mind for that Voodoo society.
The March 2002 Money Appeal
This
Abrahamic Faith sun worship church has organized a missionary outreach
operation called the “Lord’s Harvest International.” It is headed up by a woman named Judy Myers
who works out of church offices in Oregon, Illinois.
In
March 2002, Mrs Myers sent out a letter with several brochures on the group’s
missionary work to all church members in an attempt to con some money out of
the credulous White suckers in the American churches.
Mrs
Myers wrote: “March has been designated
Mission Month in the Church of God for a number of years. As you read this, I pray that you are
celebrating that with us. We wanted to
come into each of your homes this year and let you know more about Lord’s
Harvest International and what we have been doing the past year. We also want to share what will be happening
in 2002. We continue to thank God for
the faithful prayer and financial support that missions receives from so many
of you. Our prayer is that God will
bless you for your efforts and that the money entrusted to us will sow seeds
that will grow and flourish as we share the message of Christ and the Kingdom
of God with the rest of the world.
“Enclosed
in this mailing are several items for your information. You will find brochures both about LHI
(Lord’s Harvest International) and Tracy Zhykhovich’s ministry of light to
Russia. Each brochure includes on it an
opportunity for your response. We have
included an envelope for your use in doing that if God so moves you. A magnet with a photo of Tracy and her family
is also a part of the packet. We ask
that you place it where you will see it often and when you do that you will say
a quick prayer for her and the work God has given her to do in Russia. We have prepared a newspaper which highlights
who we are, what we have done during the past year, what trips will be taking
place this year, prayer and financial needs, and future projects that we are
working on. We ask that you read through
the material carefully and let us know of any questions or ideas that you might
have to further God’s work in our world.
“If
you believe God is leading you to participate in a short-term trip or calling
you to a career in missions, we would love to know that. We are here to assist you in any way that we
can in being obedient to God’s leading goals.
We have, in cooperation with the college staff, developed a training
program at Atlanta Bible College to assist you in career training for
missions. We stand ready to do all that
we can to serve you in your efforts.
Please feel free to call or write us at any time if we can be of
service.
“May
God continue to lead and direct your steps as you rely on Him in every
way. In His Service, Mrs Judy Myers...”
The
letter and brochures included the logo of this sun worship group. It was a picture of a globe with a pagan sun
worship Christian cross centered over it and a plant or tree with three prongs
(plus surrounding identification information).
It is unclear what the plant is, but it might be a symbol of the
Christian trinity (though this church supposedly does not teach the
trinity).
Response Forms
There
was included response forms on each brochure and separately in one
presentation--plus the return envelope.
The response forms provided for the Christian suckers to either donate
money, volunteer for service or ask for further information. The idea was to con the Christian suckers out
of something.
The
brochures suggested that the church has a missionary work going on in Mexico,
Peru, Malawi, Haiti, India and Russia.
There is a US board of directors and a listing of local Abrahamic Faith
national leaders in each country where the church has her missions. Of course, there were numerous appeals for help,
money, assistance, prayers and so forth; in the vein of “send me, reaching out,
making a difference, etc.”
One
brochure listed three questions for the credulous and gullible White suckers--
“Do you love the lost?,” Do you love the “Lord,” and “How aggressive are
you.” If you answered yes to all three
questions, per the brochure, “God may well have called you to cross-cultural
ministry, either through a dynamic revelation or through leading you along in
small but consistent steps.”
Some Specifics
To
be sure that the money appeal went over well, there were specific listings of
things needed in the various missionary fields and the amount of money needed
for each listed so-called need--postage, financial assistance, benches for a
church, rent, Sunday School material, radio work, etc.
Of
course, the brochures and enclosures were covered with pictures of the foreign
churches, the leaders in the foreign countries and the devoted missionaries out
spreading the alleged “gospel” from this sun worship group.
In
all of the listed Colored countries, there seems to be presently established
Church of God Abrahamic Faith Churches under the supervision of the so-called
“national leaders,” whom are local people.
One
enclosure included a “2001 Haiti Survey Trip” report. Apparently, this trip report from Judy Myers
means that the local national leader in Haiti has been accepted and certified
as a part of the church. This Haitian
man is “Pastor Lesly Bertrand,” who was mentioned above in other remarks
herein.
Bertrand
is now one of the national leaders.
Pictures of him and his church in Haiti were included to whet the
appetites of the credulous Whites who could be conned out of money to send to
him.
While
the church seems to be rift with these Colored preachers, members and
missionary works in the Colored nations noted, the situation in Russia was in
somewhat of a different profile.
Tracy in Russia
It
appears that a young woman named Tracy Savage went to the old Soviet Union in
1991 as a part of a soccer team. She
allegedly liked the country and people and returned to the US to find a sponsor
to send her there as a missionary. Per
the brochure, she approached the Church of God General Conference, and it
agreed to sponsor her.
Evidently,
she returned to Russia in 1992 and commenced her missionary work for the
Abrahamic Faith sun worship group.
However, over the years, missionary Savage had no success in raising up
a Church of God work in Russia. Or at
least, the brochure didn’t indicate any such success.
Instead
of creating a church or group of believers, Tracy did meet a Russian man named
Stepan Zhykhovich. They married in 1999
and the couple now have a small daughter.
The
mailing from the “Lord’s Harvest International” said that Tracy and Stepan must
have $1,850 monthly in order to continue their missionary work in Russia (or
alternatively, Stepan may have to get a job and go to work--of course, going to
work would never appeal to Christian missionaries in the general sense).
So
while Tracy didn’t convert any suckers to the church, she did get a husband in
the deal. Ostensibly, Stepan is now a
church member since he is now a part of the Tracy missionary team to Russia
(surely, he will remain a loyal, supportive missionary as long as the church
suckers continue to send him and Tracy $1,850 monthly).
Actually,
if the gullible and credulous White church members in America want to throw some
money away, it seems that giving Tracy and Stepan $1,850 monthly is better than
plowing money into the Colored Third World where it will do no good
whatsoever.
Too,
if the stupid White suckers have got money to throw away, one must wonder why
they don’t focus some attention on their own rea kinsmen in America in
need. Whether these sun worshippers
understand it or not, there are charity mitzwot in YHWH’s Torah regarding the
rea racial kinsmen at home. These needy
people are far more deserving of financial help than others around the
world.
The Essence Here
In
any case, it is manifest that the demonic spirits in charge of this Christian
sun worship group is pushing, propelling, prompting, motivating and leading
them down the road of world evangelism--so that they can exhibit a multi-racial
and multi-cultural Christian Church that truly represents the wildest hopes of
Satan, Kain, Balaam and the Amalekites (in support of the brotherhood of
man).
It’s
questionable to what extent this entity will succeed overall (although they
seem to be making some progress with some Koreans and Blacks and with
Black-White miscegenation). Thus, these
pagan churches will be trying, never understanding the role that YAH plays in
making the election.
Chapter
287--Christian Growth
Christian Methods For Growth
Interestingly,
on this world-wide push by Churchianity for converts, it is useful to observe
that Christians often follow some most unusual and unscriptural methods of
achieving growth and numbers in various far away lands (and no wonder, since
such peoples do not really appreciate and understand YHWH's Word and law--Ps
147:19-20).
On
this, the Roman Catholic Church has historically used the sword and the threat
of death in her evangelistic fields in Africa, Asia and the Americas. In reality, these heathen either converted to
Catholicism or they were dead.
Naturally, most gladly converted.
In
more modern times, much of Protestant Christianity has toned things down and
has turned to the giving away of free secular educations, bribes, gifts,
trinkets, toys and payoffs, in general, to their prospective members in much of
the Third World. These payoffs and
bribes are generally successful in creating a little interest in the
pagans--where otherwise, it would not be present.
This
Protestant missionary practice was well illustrated in James Michener’s great
novel on the Christianization of early 19th century Hawaii. Hollywood made the “Hawaii” book into a hit
movie.
The
basis of the story is how Protestant Churches sent a young, Hawaiian man to a
denominational college for education so that he could be returned to his native
land to help lay the groundwork for the coming Christian missions.
Foreign Missions and Work
Several
years ago, some things happened to this writer which were to clarify what was
going on in the so-called foreign mission field of Christianity. This reality of what happened is not unique
with me since numerous other persons have had similar experiences and can verify
the point being made.
In
the first instance, this writer wrote a small booklet that discussed some
aspects of Christian theology (on Identity and race), not readily apparent to
most people.
Since
the remarks were controversial with a limited appeal, ads were placed in
several of the Sardis Church of God and Sacred Name publications offering these
books free to whoever would write for them.
Once the word was out, a surge of letters was received from Africa and
India asking for the books.
Over
time, some of the distributed publications seemed to have gained some
distribution in these Third World countries.
The
result was still more letters from so-called Christian preachers, saying that
they wanted to join with me in promoting the theology outlined (on Identity and
race). Several such letters were
received from the Third World, suggesting a common belief--none from the US or
Europe. This was the first indicator of
something smelling in those lands.
In
a second situation, a friend of this writer in Tulsa, Oklahoma wrote a small
tract which found its way to India. One
of the persons in India wrote my friend and said he was in total agreement with
the tract and wanted to affiliate with its writer.
By
pouring the flattery on in the letter, my Tulsa friend sent some money to this
charlatan in India. So the Indian began
a process of regular letters of praise and flattery to get more money.
A Christian Testimony
Still
later, a friendship was established with the former leader of one of the Sardis
Churches of God with headquarters in Caldwell, Idaho. This Sardis spokesman, now deceased, related
some experiences his group found in their overseas “mission” work. He related that persons in Black Africa and
India, in particular, would try to make contact with Christian Churches in
America.
They
would pour the flattery and nonsense on about how great the American church
group was and that they wanted to become a representative in their
countries. Often, they would claim to
have a church group there and the capability to add thousands of new converts
to the American churches’ membership rolls.
Of course, Christian Churches go wild over these prospects.
Once
contact is made, the foreigners would then write regular reports and send
pictures of their huge, evangelistic successes with the conversions of
multitudes of people to the particular Christian Church and its teachings. The communications continue as long as the
stupid Americans continue to send money overseas.
Christian
groups with a published periodical find that these Third World people will
write all kinds of letters for publication in the periodical, claiming poverty
and the ostensible need for funds to eat on, buy a bicycle for transportation
(allegedly, to carry the “Gospel” to the different villages), and of course, to
buy “Bibles” and other “Christian” literature and books.
Professional Confidence Games
One
of the popular tricks of these con artists seems to be the use of
pictures. Let’s say that you are the
leader of the X church in America, and that you link up with one of these
swindlers, in say Black Africa. Before
long, the African will start one of your churches in his country--supposedly.
At
least, he will write and report his great success in spreading around your
particular theology. The confidence man
will soon make a large sign which identifies (in English, by the way, and not
necessarily even including his local language) your church group or particular
denomination. He will hang the sign over
his house or some building.
Next,
the African will go and collect many of his neighbors, relatives and friends
and have them assemble for a group picture in front of the sign hanging over
the involved building. Then the con man
takes a camera and snaps several pictures of this “Christian Church” group in
Africa, which is a part of “your” American denomination. It is your foreign “work.”
Of
course, these cheats are in contact with a huge number of American and European
religious groups and they have different signs prepared to represent each and
every group that they are getting money from.
These
confidence artists rotate the signs and pictures to send to their various sponsors
and benefactors. Sometimes, they don’t
even bother to change the people. They
assemble a crowd under one sign and take some pictures.
They
merely change the sign and take some more pictures of the same crowd of people
(and laugh all the way to the bank to deposit the money that they receive from
the different Christian suckers).
White
Christian sun worship churches must like all of the flattery and praise because
they continue to link up with these African and Indian con artists. And of course, the credulous Whites seem to
delight in sending more and more money to their overseas’ “foreign works.”
Handling Visitors
On
occasion, some of the Western Christian suckers take an evangelistic preaching
tour of their many new converts in the Third World lands. Typically, these visits are announced and
coordinated in advance with their handlers.
Consequently, the confidence men (or women in some instances) have time
to prepare for the visit.
Of
course, it is no big deal for these confidence handlers to get a bunch of their
relatives, friends and colleagues together for a meeting or two and to pose as
the church members. All of them can be
and are primed in advance on what to say and how to act when the American or
European church leader arrives to inspect his flock.
If
the Christian suckers check out their evangelistic fields unannounced, and in a
secret or surprise visit, a real revelation can then materialize when the local
con man is caught with his pants down--because the truth is that all of this
stuff is merely hype and show to get money from suckers.
Usually,
there are no converts and there are no organized church groups disseminating
any of the material sent to the handlers.
It’s all a scam!
The Potential
The
potential for these con operations was well illustrated in an editorial by
Kenneth Ryland in the Nov-Dec 2002 “Sabbath Sentinel” (p. 3)--as published by
the Bible Sabbath Association. Ryland
told about the visit of a Black African preacher from Kenya named Joseph
Kimani, to his home recently. Ryland
said that he was privileged to learn from this “man of God.”
Per
Ryland, Kimani has a goal of evangelizing the entire country of Kenya. He adds that “God wants all to hear the
message of salvation” (which is, of course, the common Christian pitch). Although not mentioned by Ryland, it was
clear that the African was at editor Ryland’s home to con some money out of him
and/or his “Sabbath Sentinel” readers.
Perhaps Ryland can help Joseph in his undertaking.
Sometimes,
these foreigners not only obtain vast sums of money from the suckers, but they
often get paid vacation trips to the US or Europe and occasionally receive paid
tuition and education expenses to attend US or European colleges and
universities. Of course, free educations
at denominational schools are pretty common rewards to foreign converts.
Close to You, Inc.
While
the Bible Sabbath Association (BSA) is supposedly a non-denominational effort
with only a goal and purpose of promoting the Scriptural Seventh day Sabbath,
the Association seems to have transitioned into a profile of trying to
evangelize the Third World with the Christian message--as demonstrated above in
the “Sabbath Sentinel” and in another action to now be cited.
In
January 2003, this writer received a book list from the Bible Sabbath
Association with a response note from something called Close to You, Inc. with
a message of trying to raise money from Sabbathkeeping Christians to help a
school, orphanage and “poor Church members” in El Salvador.
Since
the daughter of the association’s secretary is married to a Hispanic leader in
El Salvador, this is probably the source of this effort to raise money for
people in El Salvador. In any case, this
writer thought it strange that the Bible Sabbath Association would get involved
in any way with a Christian work to con money out of suckers for Colored Third
World evangelism. But apparently, it
has.
Though
the Association is supposedly non-denominational (focusing only the Sabbath),
as noted above, it is clear that its present outreach is very multi-cultural
and multi-racial. Tragically, the modern
BSA refuses to list Sabbathkeeping groups which are politically incorrect on
race (i.e., those which do not allow/promote racial amalgamation) in its
directory of Sabbathkeepers/outreach material.
Thus,
it discriminates against Sabbathkeepers who do not have the “approved”
views. The point of these comments on
the Bible Sabbath Association is that there is right now an insane outreach to
the Colored Third World by Christians of all ranks and stations. Even in groups which supposedly have limited
ministries, there is this insanity and push to join the mad plunge to
multi-racialism and multi-culturalism.
Free Bath Towels and Meals
But
there is still more on how Christians gain proselytes. In some Pacific islands, the Mormon church
has been known to give away a beautiful, large, bath towel to newly baptized
converts.
On
Saipan Island, a Pentecostal church not only gives away free bath towels to her
new members, but she also provides a free, weekly meal every Sunday for her
members and visitors to come and enjoy (of course, after preaching
services).
In
China, Christian missionaries have traditionally given free (rice) meals to
Chinese peasants in order to induce them to come out periodically and hear the
so-called “Gospel.” Accordingly, some wise
Chinese began to call Christianity in Chinese “fan jou” which means the “rice
religion” (per Bo Gritz, in an article on “Christianity Before Christ,”
appearing in the 11 June 1994 “Center for Action” paper).
It
seems quite evident that these bribes, payoffs and give-a-ways are needed by
pagan Christians in order to interest and motivate the non-Israelite nations,
who really just don't appreciate and understand Truth--if it was being given to
them.
In
reality, this give away of a free meal is not particularly unique in our time,
as assorted numbers of churches and religious organizations have used
"free" food as an enticement to get otherwise indifferent and
apathetic people to come out and hear their spiel for ages.
As
the reader may also recall, the same thing brought lethargic and could care
less people out in the days of YESHUA.
Persons back then in the first century CE also came for the free meals
and not to learn about Truth (John 6:24-27).
While
it may make some sense that heathen Christian Churches would “bribe”
non-Israelite people (who have little or no interest in Truth), one would have
to stop and ponder about the situation described by Yohanan (Jo 6:24-27). Maybe those particular “Jews” were really
Amalek-Edomites who, too, could have cared less about Truth.
If
they were atheistic Amalek-Edomites, they would not have been particularly
interested in anything except the free food.
Perhaps there was a need for those particular Jews (whether Edomites or
not) to be exposed to truth so that they could be given the opportunity to just
reject it outrightly, as has been thoroughly discussed herein in the vein of
turning to the lost sheep of the House of Yisrael.
Another Black Scam
Whether
it was the tremendous success that Black Africans have enjoyed in cheating
dumb, White, Christian Americans and Europeans or something else, it is
significant to note that Blacks in Nigeria have come up with a similar fraud to
take money away from even greedy, secularist, credulous Whites.
An
Associated Press report on Nov 11, 1998, mentioned that 2 million letters come
from Nigeria to America each year in an effort to steal and misappropriate
money from gullible, greedy Americans.
So far, the African take has been in the hundreds of $millions
annually. This is big time fraud which
the Blacks are especially skilled at doing.
The
way this rip off works is that a Nigerian obtains the name and mailing address
of a greedy, stupid American. The scam
artist writes a letter to the sucker, claiming to be a Nigerian government
official who wants to transfer millions of dollars out of Nigeria and will send
it to the sucker’s bank account if the sucker will send some money to the
Nigerian in order to pay legal fees.
Naturally,
many greedy, selfish, stupid, White Americans gladly start sending money to
Nigeria with the mistaken belief that the alleged Nigerian government official
will send some bigger bucks back. Once
the Nigerian con artist hooks a real, stupid sucker, he will continually milk
him for more and more money to pay off these alleged legal bills (which never
end until the sucker runs out of money or gets disgusted and quits).
More on Mother Sardis
The
mother Sardis Church of God (7th Day) in Denver, Colorado has been in the
business of “evangelizing” foreign peoples for some time (particularly in
Africa and Asia, in the 20th and early 21st centuries). Sardis has a specific group organized for this
called “Missions Abroad.”
The
Jul-Aug 2003 “Bible Advocate” (p. 18) had a missions progress report on a visit
by two Sardis leaders to Europe and Africa to check upon their foreign
operations. The African visit resulted
in the church organizing a twelve member board of African directors in
Nigeria. A photo of this ordination was
included with the story.
But
what was interesting was that at the bottom of the page of this missions
report, the writer (evidently Bill Hicks of Blountville, TN) added a little
“Caution, please” which warned “Don’t be a scam victim. If solicitation letters are received from
other countries, no matter how sincere they sound, please refer them to
Missions Abroad for verification.”
Apparently,
Hicks or his church has learned that many African and Asian con operators write
gullible and credulous Americans for money under some pretext. The situation with Nigeria was noted in the
preceding remarks. It has to be relevant
that as mother Sardis sends a missionary team to Nigeria to expand her work
there that one of the missionaries must offer this “Caution, please”
remark.
As
uninformed as mother Sardis is (at least, on the Scriptures), it is fascinating
that just as she ordains and establishes her church operations in Nigeria that
she simultaneously must “warn” potential suckers in her church about receiving
solicitations from other countries. Is
that any way for a multi-cultural Christian Church to react toward her Black
brethren in Africa?
Changing Christian Ideas
From
the discovery of the Americas in 1492 until the close of WWII, the White
Christian West maintained that the North American Indians (largely of Mongoloid
stock) were wild savages. Hollywood
regularly made movies depicting this condition (like the famous Western
“Stagecoach”).
But
following WWII, the Christian West adopted and are now teaching a new position
that Indians were compassionate, loving, kind, civilized people, supposedly
like Christian Westerners.
Actually,
this same motion has been underway in all of the White, Christian, Western
cultures since WWII. Repeatedly, the
developing population is being schooled, trained, taught and motivated to
believe that all of the Colored peoples of the world are loving, kind,
wonderful, compassionate, civilized people.
If there is any barbarism, cruelty and evil, it exists with the White
man (principally the WASP males).
This
trend and stupidity will be addressed in some detail in later chapters on
humanism. Suffice to say, it the real
world out there in the early 21st century (a world of distortion, deception and
lies).
The Early American Missions
In
any case, the Christian West undertook the task of evangelizing the Indians
almost immediately (by the Spanish, using the sword and the threat of
death). The famous American West was
largely opened through the work of one Marcus Whitman, who was both a doctor
and a Protestant (Presbyterian) missionary.
Marcus
and his lovely Christian wife came to the Western frontier to open a Christian
mission in 1836, near the present town of Walla Walla, Washington. Whitman’s mission was called Waiilaptu. Following the normal Christian mission
practice, this one was designed to offer free medical care (and food on
appropriate occasions) to the nearby Indians and particularly to operate a
school for Indian children.
Upon
learning about Christianity, the compassionate, loving, kind, merciful Indians
thought so much of the Whitmans that in 1847 they rose up and murdered the
Whitmans and the people at their mission (including a number of Indians and
half breed children) in a great fury of hate and savagery.
This
is always a danger and possible fate for Christian missionaries--out spreading
around their love and concern in the context of the brotherhood of man, so
fondly believed and promoted by Christianity to the pagans around the
world.
The Historic Christian Pattern
But
the pattern followed by the Whitmans was repeated on numerous occasions
throughout the Third World as the White Christian missionaries insisted on
leading the way into the darkest and most remote parts of Africa, Asia and the
Americas.
The
Christian sun worship practice was almost always the same. Bring some free food, toys, trinkets, gifts,
etc and the Colored peoples would come out to hear the Christian message.
As
was and is the normal Christian method, a school and hospital or dispensary
were quickly opened to accommodate the indigenous people. As long as the free gifts continued, the
Colored peoples seemed to get along satisfactorily for a while as loving
Christians.
But
with the schools and preaching services, the missionaries were quickly
introducing some unique teachings to the so-called savages. Very soon, the savages were taught the
universal brotherhood of man and a form of Socialism, whereby the Christians
will give them a stream of gifts and benefits if they will just pretend to be
Christians or at least show up for preaching services.
All
of this wonderful Christian sun worship brotherhood of man thinking and the
free gifts seemed to have worked well for a while at many of these
missions. But the seeds were being sown
for trouble (as in the case of the Whitmans).
Naturally, the natives grew restless with all of these new sun worship
teachings.
While
Colored persons have periodically submitted to the sun worship missionaries and
their free give-aways, it must be pointed out that they essentially hated the
White man and what he was trying to impose upon them.
Even
modern books, writings and movies are beginning to come forth which communicate
the incredible hatred that the Coloreds have had for evil Christian
missionaries. Little Indian children
might have their long hair forcibly cut.
But they would never like it or appreciate it.
Of
course, the Coloreds have often had to submit under threat of the sword and
death. Therefore, many have submitted
over the ages and come under the tutelage of the sun worship missionaries. But in their hearts, they hated it and wished
for a return to their former primitive and savage methods.
Along
with the sun worship missionaries, other White men also came to the backward
Third World lands to develop farms and exploit the natural resources. In general, these people brought Western
Christian civilization to the savages with the establishment of White laws and
Western values.
Some Saw Opportunities for Plunder
But
the Colored savages were learning things at the Christian missions that they
were the same as the White conquerors and settlers and that they were entitled
to free hand outs without work and productivity.
When
the Blacks in Africa looked upon the prosperous White farmers, miners, etc (who
had come and worked hard to develop the land), they saw opportunities to take
over. Thus, in Kenya and numerous other
Black states, rebellion and terrorism quickly developed (from the Christian
teachings) in the form of the famous Mau Mau murderers.
In
South Africa, the greatly beloved Nelson Mandela became a first rate terrorist
to murder and kill as many Whites as possible, so he and his colleagues could
steal all of the development and civilization that had come to South
Africa.
The
customary process in Africa was to immediately kill the White men and then rape
and torture their women before killing them and their children. The anarchy, terror and butchery in the
Congo, Angola and on and on are all classic illustrations of what can happen to
a culture after the missionaries had taught the brotherhood of man and
Socialism to the natives.
The
stage is now set for a repeat of this madness in South Africa, now that White
rule has been largely replaced. This
pathetic pattern of sickness was promoted and followed for years now all over
the Third World by the Western Christian leadership. It is still being followed today.
Now,
after 400 years of Christian sun worship missionaries and missions, what can be
said of the surviving and ruling Colored governments in those lands? They are just as barbaric and uncivilized as
ever. Corruption, murder, torture and
oppression are the orders of the day--just as they were before the missionaries
came.
Are
those people now better off? The loving,
concerned, considerate, Christian Westerners would say yes (under the guidance
and direction of ruling Amalekite plutocrats).
But are they really better off?
The truth is manifestly no!
A Classic Story of Christian
Missionaries
Some
years ago, a powerful book was written by Peter Matthiessen (which was made
into a great Hollywood movie) on the
pathetic problems that Christian preachers and leaders can cause in their
evangelistic and missionary activities.
The
focus of this contemporary work (“At Play in the Fields of the Lord”) was an
isolated, savage, Indian tribe living in the Amazon rain forest of Brazil and
what can happen to them under a Christian government and Christian
missionaries. What can happen is fairly
common among not only the aborigine Indians of South America, but indigenous
natives around the world.
While
this work had some apparently fictionalized incidents in it, the essence of the
production was one of truth which has happened hundreds and perhaps thousands
of times over the last many years since Christian missionaries started their
task of evangelizing the world.
The
surfacing problem is that most Western Christian governments (ostensibly
Christian or at least the government leaders, who are supposedly Christians)
see some land which they would like to steal from the indigenous natives living
there. These supposed Christians view
this land as representing profits (from commercial exploitation) or areas for
habitation purposes (by the voting public).
The
dilemma is that the natives are often savages and very warlike. They will not always sit back and willingly
allow the good Christian government to come in and steal their land without a
fight. True, they have often done so in
past ages. But there always is the
potential for trouble and especially in modern times.
Unless
some scheme is worked out to deal with the problem, real difficulties can
surface. Many people coming in to seize
the land can be murdered by the savages.
This may prompt an undesirable call for the military to come in and
retaliate. Therefore, another option is
usually desired.
Loving
Christian governments can choose between at least two or more methods which
will allow them to steal the land without having to murder all of the
natives. One option is to pay and bribe
some third force to come into the land and be even more of a savage than the
natives. By killing and terrorizing
them, maybe they will willingly pack up and move on.
The
last option, which has proved to be the most popular one of all, is to
Christianize and pacify them. For this
one, the “loving” Christian government makes contact with some “loving”
Christian missionaries and encourages and helps them to come into the jungle
areas in order for the missionaries to begin the “loving” practice of making
Christians out of the savages.
Knowing
full well that the aborigines will not respond to Gee-Zeus and the Christian
Gospel, Christian missionaries have historically turned to bribes, toys,
trinkets, beads and gifts to induce or seduce the stupid natives to come to
Christian sun worship services. And this
works for a while.
Danger Usually Surfaces
But
there is always the danger that the natives will grow restless and commence a
campaign of revolt and murder against the Christians (like with the Whitmans
and so many others over the ages).
When
the loving Christians can perceptively see evidence of this coming danger, they
can get their guns out and build fortifications of barbed wire around their missionary
compounds to keep the natives out--only allowing a few of the more trusted ones
in for Sunday, sun worship services.
Inevitably,
the Christian process of pacification ultimately brings trouble for all willing
and unwilling participants. In time, the
missionary’s wives and daughters will be raped or abused in some manner. Their children will be exposed to the
vulgarity and open fornication of the savages (yes, many of the primitive
natives and particularly teenagers practice their sex publicly).
By
living in the jungle, it also happens that in time jungle rot and tropical
diseases set in to bring death to the missionary and his family. Otherwise, it is also manifest that as the
natives do begin to revolt, they will murder the missionary and his family
members if possible (as with the Whitmans).
The poor indigenous natives will either submit and become pacifists or
in the revolt, they will be subjected to government action.
If
the government does have to intervene to rescue the missionaries and restore
order in the land following an uprising, the typical reaction is to bring the
military in and shoot and murder a number of the savages in order to force the
others to flee in stark panic and terror into the surrounding jungles.
When
the Christian effort is all over, the bottom line is often that many of the
missionary families will be plagued with disease or die from disease or be
murdered at the hands of the savages.
Surviving missionaries will return home to brag and boast about their
great work of sharing the Gospel.
For
the natives, they will either Christianize and lose their land or they will be
murdered and scattered. If the natives
do submit to Christian pacification (as usually happened in Africa), they stood
to get free Christian educations, White Christian wives and many other benefits
and gratuities.
The
Black Africans, with their vast numerical strength, generally waited until the
right time came for an uprising (when colonialism grew unpopular and the weak
Christian West refused the military option of attacking and killing the
savages).
The Brazilian Story
The
story under consideration seems to have followed much of the pattern, just
outlined. The Brazilian government (of
mongrel Catholic leaders) wanted the land and tried to get a couple of drifters
with an airplane to fly over the area and drop bombs to run the Indians
off. The drifters refused. So the government turned to loving Christian
missionaries to come in and pacify the Indians with free gifts and toys.
Ultimately,
this never worked out. In the end, the
two missionary women were violated, a missionary boy died from disease and his
father was killed. Nothing of good was
accomplished by the missionaries.
Finally, the government came in with power to kill many of the Indians
and force the others to flee in panic and terror into the jungle.
In
the early stages of this story, the two drifters posed the following question
to one of the missionaries-- “The Lord made these Indians the way they are--why
are you down here trying to change them?”
Naturally, the Christian evangelist had no answer.
The Bottom Line
For a summary of this topic, the May,
1997 “Bible Advocate” (17) had a news report from Baden, Germany which quoted
European economist Siegfried Buchholtz as saying that “the (Christian) church
has a great product, but is not marketing it properly.” Buchholtz also went on to say that many
church leaders do not believe in their product.
While the so-called “great” product is
open to debate, there can be no argument on the fact that Christian Church
leaders do not believe in their product.
That observation is assuredly not open to question. It is reality!
Chapter
288--Signs and the Spiritual Baptism
The Ministry, Revisited
Previous
chapters on YHWH’s true ministry and on Christian Church practices discussed
the question of YHWH’s commissioning process to determine who will represent
and speak for Him here on earth.
The
chapter on Christian Church reactions made the point that Christian Churches
and individual Christians have their own procedures for determining the
Christian ministry--procedures which are far removed from the Scriptural
demands established by The ELOHIM.
In
the former presentations, a brief reference was made to the question of the use
and presence of signs and miraculous manifestations in YHWH’s ministry (and
especially, in the context of the Baptism of The RUACH HA KODESH and/or of
Fire). This chapter will assess this
issue in some detail.
The Baptism of The RUACH HA KODESH
There
were some OT prophetic statements (Isa 44:3; Joel 2:28-29) which effectively
promised a coming Baptism of The RUACH HA KODESH (“Holy Spirit” or “Holy Ghost”
in the English translations). Seemingly,
this experience is sometimes likened to rain (the former and the latter
rains).
But
the first real clarification of the subject came when Yohanan the Baptist
predicted the coming baptism by YESHUA as being separate and distinct from the
baptism of water (Matt 3:11-12; Mk 1:7-8; Lu 3:16-17; Jo 1:31-33). In some of these remarks, the Baptism of The
RUACH HA KODESH is mentioned with a conjunction in the vein of the Baptism of
Fire.
The
immediate question here is whether there are two spiritual baptisms or just
one. The conjunction is the Greek “kai,”
which can be a conjunction. But it also
can be a enhancement of the former remark (as discussed in prior
chapters). Thus, it might suggest two
baptisms (of the Spirit and of Fire) or a single baptism but one with two
different manifestations or aspects.
More on One or Two
In any case, this non-water baptism does seem to involve two aspects or methods of receipt (which may allow that the two baptisms are different). First, Yoha
