Liberalism - America getting what it asked for?

Thought For the Week

Folks in the US seem to be upset and making a big deal about a comment a liberal Democrat recently made about their lack of intelligence. As usual they are showing just how ignorant most of them are about the agenda of these ungodly folks. Consider that Harry Hopkins told them exactly what the game plan was and why it would work when he said, "We shall Tax and Tax, Spend and Spend, Elect and Elect, because the people are too damn dumb to know the difference". So how have Americans responded to that comment made well over half a century ago? They have elected (and reelected) these same ungodly liberal Democrats the majority of the time.

          The results are obvious and impact the whole world. Homosexuality is being openly practiced now and is taught to our children as not only an acceptable practice but a commendable one; and, the US Government is blackmailing other countries into adopting the same philosophies or forfeit receiving US foreign aid.

          The number of children these liberal Democrats have murdered via abortion exceeds the murders laid at the feet of Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot combined. Again, the US ardently pushes the same practice on other countries.

          Liberal Democrats, with taxpayer dollars, force schools to teach our children the Koran while banning the Bible; and, to teach the Theory of Evolution while banning any alternate theories (e.g. the Theory of Intelligent Design). Liberal Democrats, with taxpayer dollars, have universities provide special accommodations (e.g. hand washing stations) for Muslim prayer while banning Christian prayer.

          Liberal Democrats, while ignoring the will of the majority, use the power of the US to try to forcefully export a form of democracy they do not believe in or practice - all while also ignoring the Constitution upon which their own country is founded.

          Just as they preach a democracy they do not practice they also preach a tolerance they do not practice. The First Amendment is no longer extended to those who follow YHWH - i.e. freedom of religion or freedom of speech. The States and the people continue to be denied their Tenth Amendment rights. And, if the Democrats got their way, no one would be allowed to exercise their Second Amendment rights either.

Ironically, while the Democrats strive to create a world with no boundaries to the evils of Governments or individuals they simultaneously try to blame all the ills of the world on corporations and seek to cripple or destroy them - as if corporations were not made up of individuals.

          The list could go on ad naseum; but, this is not an endorsement for the Republican Party - they have become so compromised and cowardly that they are just as evil. As I have discussed before Satan loves it when folks squabble over picking sides on an issue when both sides are evil. Satan loves it when people are satisfied with picking from “the lesser of two evils”. Both Parties are comprised of individuals; and the evil must exist at the individual level long before it can reach a collective level.

          Collective rights come with individual responsibilities. Collective freedoms come with individual accountability. If individuals are not held responsible and accountable for their actions how then can an organization be? So, apparently, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have to answer to the people anymore. However, contrary to the popular norm these days’ personal responsibility and accountability has not been abrogated - as individuals we will all answer to YHWH.

Comment:  It has been awhile since Rodgers made this statement. It had a grain of humor in his time. It no longer does. Though it is popular today for folks to blame everything on Governments and organizations it is the lack of individual integrity and accountability that is socially the root cause for the failures and evils of societies.

Did You Know

Union membership in the U.S. stands at 11.3%, down from 20.1% in 1983. The public sphere, which is paid with taxpayer dollars, still has 35.3% of the workforce unionized. (Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics.) Comment: That means very limited personal responsibility and accountability; and, that your tax dollars are going straight to the union bosses!

Martin Luther said that Catholic “Church” leaders should have the Brethren (protesting Christians) killed because they violated the false apostles Paul’s command to obey their earthly rulers (See Note). With Luther’s support over 100,000 Brethren were murdered between 1524 and 1525 - including women and children. Comment: And how many people follow him today instead of Jesus?

Though the “Desert Fathers” preference for the gospel according to Matthew has yet to be “officially” explained it is the most quoted book of the New Testament among early monastic literature, followed by the Psalms from the Original Testament. Comment: The Gospel according to Matthew is also closely linked to another document widely used by the early church - the Didache - both of which were originally written in Hebrew/Aramaic and predate all of the other writings in the New Testament. Visit jesuswordsonly.com for more on the Original Gospel of Matthew (OGM). PS - We hope to have an Abridged New Testament Study Bible available soon that contains none of the writings of the false apostle Paul but does contain the Didache and many other study tools (e.g. Jesus’ references to the Original Testament, His commands, parables, teachings, etc.)

Here are a few more excerpts from the “Desert Fathers” (and a Desert Mother”) from the Apophthegmata Partum:

Abba Anthony thought about the depth of the judgments of God, he asked, “Lord, how is it that some die when they are young, while others drag on to extreme old age? Why are there those who are poor and those who are rich? Why do wicked men prosper and why are the just in need?” He heard a voice answering him, “Anthony, keep your attention on yourself; these things are according to the judgment of God, and it is not to your advantage to know anything about them.”

Abba Anthony said, “I saw the snares that the enemy spreads out over the world and I said groaning, ‘What can get through from such snares?’ Then I heard a voice saying to me, "Humility."

A brother said to Abba Anthony, “Pray for me.” The old man said to him, “I will have no mercy upon you, nor will God have any, if you yourself do not make an effort and if you do not pray to God.”

A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, "You are mad, you are not like us." -- Abba Anthony

I no longer fear God, but I love Him. “For love casts out fear.” (John 4:18) -- Abba Anthony

If a man's deeds are not in harmony with his prayer, he labors in vain. -- Abba Moses

The old man was asked, “What should a man do in all the temptations and evil thoughts that come upon him?” The old man said to him, “He should weep and implore the goodness of God to come to his aid, and he will obtain peace if he prays with discernment. For it is written, ‘With the Lord on my side I do not fear. What can man do to me?’”(Psalms 118:6) -- Abba Moses

A Brother asked, “How do the demons fight against me?” Abba Poemen replied, “The demons fight against you? They do not fight against us at all as long as we are doing our own will.”

Imitate the publican, and you will not be condemned with the Pharisee. -- Syncletica (a “Desert Mother”)

When he was dying, Abba Pambo said, “From the time that I came into this solitude and built my cell and dwelt in it, I cannot remember eating any food that I have not earned with my own hands, nor speaking any word that I have been sorry for until now. And so I go to the Lord, as one who has not yet begun to serve God.”

Unless a man can say, "I alone and God are here", he will not find the prayer of quiet.

Note: Paul never says to obey YHWH though! Is it any wonder that all of Asia rejected the false apostle Paul (by his own admission - 2 Timothy 1:15)? The Ephesians were the first to reject the false apostle Paul (Acts 19:8/9 and were complimented by Jesus for it in Revelation 2:2). For more info on this issue click HERE.
