QUOTES: A Few Thoughts on Voting

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
—Winston Churchill

Others might insist that a five-minute conversation with one of the political puppets is the best argument against democracy.

Things of This World: Faith and Trust in Politics

“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”
–On changing government statistics – George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

POLLS: Another Way to Lie

Do you believe the media? Then why do you believe their lying polls?

“Political campaigns today are all side shows, all honors, all bombast, glitter, and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the party scientifically, of supplying the public with party, candidate, platform, and performance, and selling the public these ideas and products.”

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

THE END TIMES WORLD IS A DARK, DARK PLACE. JESUS IS THE LIGHT.

LIGHT IN THE DARKThe world–particularly the end times world–is a dark, dark place.

The darkness is caused by DECEPTION.

“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”
–1JOHN 5:19

[One of the deceptions is the Satan-approved Bible translations which change 1JOHN 5:19 from “the whole world lieth in wickedness.” to “the whole world lies in the Wicked One.” But ANYONE who has studied the verse in the original Greek KNOWS that the original KJV translation is the CORRECT ONE.]

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”
–Isaiah 60:2

Though the world be covered in the darkness of deception, Jesus is the light of the world.

“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
–John 1:5

“…he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
–Daniel 2:22

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
–John 8:12

Time is growing short.

Follow Jesus Christ.

Follow the light.

“Til I’m Gone…”

“IF ONLY I HAD MORE MONEY…”

MONEY

How many times has the reader heard someone utter these words (or words very similar)?

“MORE Money!” seems to be the answer–or so it is commonly thought–to EVERY problem of scarcity.

But is it?

The reader should know: human desires are unlimited.

Here is a little info from a source which has more info on the topic than this writer.

‘scarcity‘ refers to lack of desired quantity of something. The scarcity in economics rise due to the fact that the humans have unlimited desires but only limited resources. This results in a decision to be made on how should the resources be allocated between various possible alternatives.
—The Concept of Scarcity

Will “more money” solve the problem of unlimited human desire?

Probably NOT–or at least it will NOT solve it for more than a moment.

This is one reason why folks claim that ‘the more money you make, the more money you spend.’

The next time the reader begins to daydream about what he would do IF he won the lotto and suddenly had access to millions of dollars, he needs to remember:

Human wants and desires are UNLIMITED.

(Which means they have NO end…)

Man’s GREATEST enemy, Satan, knows this.

Satan uses man’s unlimited desires to entice and tempt man.

IN FACT, it was PROBABLY Satan who dreamed up the phrase,

“IF I ONLY had more money…”

IF the End Times Cause Nervousness in BOTH Believers and NON-believers, Then What is the Advantage of Siding With God?

THE GREAT APOSTASY

APOSTASY, NOT REVIVAL: The Bible is clear.

Many think the Great Apostasy has already begun.

It has not.  It is taking form and the preachers of the apostasy are already out and about.  But the great apostasy will begin when the whore Church makes its play for world dominion.

At present, there exists within the walls of the churches, many, many, many unbelievers.  They are there because they are “cultural Christians”or “social Christians.”  They enjoy some aspect of going to church and it costs them relatively little to do so.

There also exists within the walls of the churches many, many deceitful workers and agents of the enemy.

They are there to ensure than the lost remain lost.  Many times, they smile and shake one’s hand and are very likeable. Their primary job is to guarantee that the gospel (which is the power of God unto salvation) DOES NOT get preached.

In this manner, the churches have become powerless pagan temples, containing some, who are convinced they are worshiping God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ.

There are others within who know better.

What does the Bible say about those who inhabit the end times churches?

Grievous wolves, ravening wolves, wolves in sheep’s clothing, seducers, evil men, false prophets, false Christs, ungodly men, “men…speaking perverse things,” false teachers, “them which cause division and offences contrary to doctrine…by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple,” false apostles, deceitful workers, “ministers of Satan” who present themselves as “ministers of righteousness”: this is who the Bible warns will be in the churches.

When the costs increase to being known as a Christian, THEN the apostasy shall begin in full.

When the costs of being an “almost (pretend) Christian”  are nothing and the costs of being a true believer are at a premium, then the falling away will become a tsunami of flesh pressing against the doors of the whore Church.

Then perhaps those who have Christ on their lips ONLY will at last understand the deception in which they participated?

TODAY’S “FEUDS”

Everyone LOVES to hear and see DRAMA, right?

And what is more dramatic than an apparent feud among the beautiful people, right?

Particularly if the “feud” is between celebrities, politicos or royal nabobs?

IN FACT, the rich and celebrated almost never disagree: they engage in feuds–sometimes for decades after they have ceased being celebrated for anything else.

What would the beautiful people do with themselves if not for their never-ending feuds?

Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when too many of the rich and celebrated have NOTHING “newsworthy” to do. When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.”

One popular singer’s entire marketing campaign over the years seems to have been based on engaging in one “feud” after another. But, as the “victims” appear to be primarily the singer’s “fans,” it’s hard to get too worked up over the ruse.

Sports, politics and celebrity culture, European royalty–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.”

Oh–and pro wrestling…

One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.

Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.

Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder, “Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”

FRIENDLY END TIMES REMINDER

HAMMERS, NAILS AND PROBLEMS

HAMMER, NAILS

AND NOW…

For a bit of TOOL TALK.

There is an old saying, “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will start treating all your problems like a nail.

According to the ‘sayings experts,’ this dates back ALMOST 50 years ago (to 1964.  Seems a bit older than that…).

There is an old saying, “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will start treating all your problems like a nail.” This quote dates back to 1964 and Abraham Kaplan, whose first wording was actually, “Give a small boy a hammer and he will find that everything he encounters needs a pounding.” Abraham Maslow modified it in 1966 to, “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail,” which is why we commonly refer to the concept as “Maslow’s Hammer” in reference to over-reliance on a familiar tool.
—If Your Only Tool Is a Hammer

NOW, this old saying was remembered because occasionally, the world tells the reader that ALL of his problems LOOK LIKE nails.

(Apparently, so the reader will give his problems ‘a good pounding.’)

BUT, all of the readers problems–particularly during the end times–do NOT all look like nails.

There are PHYSICAL problems–where a hammer MIGHT come in handy.

There are SPIRITUAL problems–where a hammer is of little use.

There are BIBLICAL problems (problems which get their answer by consulting God’s Word).

There are problems of the EMOTIONAL and/or MENTAL type–hammers will seldom ‘fix’ this kind of problem.

Perhaps the reader would FEEL BETTER IF he gave all of his problems a ‘good pounding?’

BUT, feeling better and “effective problem-solving” are NOT usually the same thing.

So, let this small piece serve as a friendly reminder.

DO NOT treat ALL of your problems as if they were nails.

They are NOT.

POUNDING on something MAY make one feel better, but it is highly doubtful that such behavior will solve very many problems.

FRIENDLY END TIMES ADVICE

THINGS DO NOT WORK THE WAY WE THINK THEY WORK

NO!

The reader sadly knows this to be TRUE from a LOT of different occasions.

He is told that THINGS (items, books, the world, the systems of the world, the THINGS of the world) work one way ONLY to discover–usually at a very INCONVENIENT time, that they do NOT work in the manner in which the reader had been informed–usually by his teachers, his financial advisors, his mechanic or anyone in authority.

It does NOT matter what the item is which has a story attached to it: EVERY item has a story about the way it works.

WHY is the world so intent on lying about almost EVERYTHING?

The reader will find that he is led by the stories he has been told.  IF one believes the stories he has been told, he will more easily believe OTHER lies.

This is a PRIME example of the stories of the way things work being substituted for REAL, TRUTHFUL information.

WHENEVER the reader says “That doesn’t make any sense,”  it USUALLY means that the reader is trying to fit the square peg of reality into the round hole of what he has been told.

IN OTHER WORDS: he has been lied to.

(This has been a friendly end times reminder.  The reader would do well to NOT forget it.)

MEDIA NARRATIVES ALERT

“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.

THE RED HORSE: WORLD WAR 3

“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”
–Revelation 6:4

One of the ways one can know that the very last days of the very last days have gotten underway is the loosening of the “four horsemen of the apocalypse.” The second horseman rides the red horse of war: worldwide war.

The Bible declares many will die, many more will suffer: ALL will be judged at the end.

One would think that such a clear sign (war over the earth) would be a hard thing to miss. BUT one would not reckon with the times in which we now live.

It is a time of GREAT DECEPTION.

One would also not reckon with God’s declaration: that those without a love for the truth would be sent a STRONG DELUSION, so that they would believe a lie and be damned.

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
–2Thesaalonians 2:10-12

That most are already deluded at present is unmistakable. That deception–particularly SELF-DECEPTION–runs rampant: it goes without saying. This should give men a cause to pause; to cause men to be alert to what’s soon to come to pass.

And MOST do know something is not right.

They do not know what it is that is not right, but even the wicked can feel it.

HOWEVER, because they do not have a love for the truth, they switch the channel on their TV set; turn the page of their newspapers; swipe right on their smartphones. Instead of throwing themselves on the mercy of a soon-to-appear Jesus Christ, they shake their tiny fists at the sky and declare “I will do as I want.”

Strong delusion indeed.

There will be world war. It will signal a change in the times: a beginning of the end, so to speak. Even the most deluded of the wicked know this to be true.

WHY do you think they call it the New Age?

A book which is thousands of years old details the events. (Readers can find this account in the Book of Revelation and Matthew 24.)

Because the Bible is foolishness to the unsaved, many of the details will not be understood by the wicked. However, even the lost can understand SOME of it.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
–1CORINTHIANS 2:14

DO NOT wait until the signs become so clear that even the lost might recognize them: it may be too late. Once strong delusion is sent, those without a love for the truth will not be able to turn off the path they have chosen: ALL will be damned.

World war is coming.

IF the reader waits until it begins, he may have waited too long. His choice may have already been made without him even realizing he is making a choice.

Do not wait for further signs.

Do not wait until the red horse rides.

Do not wait on others.

Do not let the mocking and scoffing of others determine the course of your eternity.

Do not follow the fables of men, even if those fables are told in buildings we call the churches of men.

Turn now and repent and be saved.

HATH GOD SAID?

THE ASSAULT ON THE GOSPEL: THE INSUFFICIENT GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

THE ASSAULT ON THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE GOSPEL HAS BEGUN

“Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!”
—1 Corinthians 9:16

This is not discipleship – There is a disturbing trend toward the teaching that “the gospel alone is insufficient.”  This very man-centered, backdoor approach downgrades the preaching of the gospel.  Christians are being told that “Preaching the gospel doesn’t fulfill the Great Commission.”

Only 2 percent of Christians share their faith, yet Pastor Anton Bosch, the author of this piece, claims that “Preaching the gospel is relatively easy.” He also claims several other things, none of which are particularly biblical.

“So while preaching the Gospel is commanded and is vital, it is NOT discipleship and does not obey the Great Commission.”

Preaching the gospel does not obey the Great Commission?

Only in 21st Century apostate America.

“It is probably for this reason most Christians assume incorrectly that preaching the Gospel fulfills the Matthew 28:18-20, but it does not.”

This piece is setting Matthew 28:19 in direct opposition to Mark 16:15.

This new doctrine of the “insufficient gospel” is ANOTHER gospel.

NOWHERE in Scripture does it say that the Gospel is insufficient.

Quite the contrary.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.“
—Romans 1:16

When Jesus commanded the disciples to preach the gospel, nowhere does it say that the gospel is insufficient to make disciples. Quite the contrary.

This is the first step in error. There is NO SCRIPTURE which states that preaching the gospel is wrong or is in any way insufficient OR disobedience to the Great Commission.

To believe that preaching the gospel doesn’t fulfill the Great Commission is essentially saying that Mark 16 is wrong: that the Word of God is wrong.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:“
—2 Timothy 3:16

The word “disciple” in Matthew 28:19 means “to teach.” But not all are called to be teachers.

“Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?“
—1 Corinthians 12:29

James also has words of caution to those who might teach.

“Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.“
—James 3:1

According to Bosch, those who take James 3:1 and 1 Corinthians 12:29 seriously while preaching the gospel are guilty of disobedience.

Perhaps he didn’t realize it, but Bosch has constructed a clever attack on the sufficiency of preaching the gospel alone; an attack under the guise of “instructing the Body of Christ to instruct others.” He could have said, “There needs to be more discipleship” or “There needs to be better discipleship.”

There are two responses to rebuking the claims in this article. 1- The author can repent, make amends and go on; or, 2- The author can attempt to dig in and erect a defense based on semantics: a very narrow, close–dare it be said: legalistic–reading of his piece. One prays that that the first approach is taken.

One way readers can tell a Bible verse is being used in error: when a verse is elevated, the context wrenched and then set in opposition to–instead of harmonizing with–other Bible verses.

The most deceptive pieces contain truth and error. The goal of such pieces: error gets a pass because the reader knows that the piece does contain truth. Or, the reader is certain that 5 parts of the piece (the parts that are correct) are truthful; but doesn’t know or is unsure of (or doesn’t recognize) the one error in the piece. The inclination is to assume the error is truth –since the rest of the piece was truthful.

This piece also contains truth (Bosch rightly recognizes “seeker sensitive” stratagems as ineffective deceptions)–which makes it all the more dangerous to those who read it unaware.

“Yea, hath God said?”

At first glance, one might think that Bosch didn’t openly declare “Hath God said?” because of a lack of boldness.

Preaching the gospel alone is disobedience?

On second thought, that is rather bold.

Is this too harsh? OR not harsh enough?

Why the Gospel is not sufficient – At least this guy comes right out with it.

NOWHERE in Scripture does it say that the Gospel is insufficient.

Quite the contrary.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.“
—Romans 1:16

When Jesus commanded the disciples to preach the gospel, nowhere does it say that the gospel is insufficient to make disciples.  Quite the contrary.

This is the first step in error.  There is NO SCRIPTURE which states that preaching the gospel is wrong or is in any way insufficient OR disobedience to the Great Commission.

To believe that preaching the gospel doesn’t fulfill the Great Commission is essentially saying that Mark 16 is wrong: that the Word of God is wrong.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:“
—2 Timothy 3:16

The word “disciple” in Matthew 28:19 means “to teach.”  But not all are called to be teachers.

“Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?“
—1 Corinthians 12:29

James also has words of caution to those who might teach.

“Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.“
—James 3:1

According to Bosch, those who take James 3:1 and 1 Corinthians 12:29 seriously while preaching the gospel are guilty of disobedience.

Perhaps he didn’t realize it, but Bosch has constructed a clever attack on the sufficiency of preaching the gospel alone; an attack under the guise of “instructing the Body of Christ to instruct others.”  He could have said, “There needs to be more discipleship” or “There needs to be better discipleship.”

There are two responses to rebuking the claims in this article.  1- The author can repent, make amends and go on; or, 2- The author can attempt to dig in and erect a defense based on semantics: a very narrow, close–dare it be said: legalistic–reading of his piece.  One prays that that the first approach is taken.

One way readers can tell a Bible verse is being used in error: when a verse is elevated, the context wrenched and then set in opposition to–instead of harmonizing with–other Bible verses.

The most deceptive pieces contain truth and error.  The goal of such pieces: error gets a pass because the reader knows that the piece does contain truth.  Or, the reader is certain that 5 parts of the piece (the parts that are correct) are truthful; but doesn’t know or is unsure of (or doesn’t recognize) the one error in the piece.  The inclination is to assume the error is truth –since the rest of the piece was truthful.

This piece also contains truth (Bosch rightly recognizes “seeker sensitive” stratagems as ineffective deceptions)–which makes it all the more dangerous to those who read it unaware.

“Yea, hath God said?”

At first glance, one might think that Bosch didn’t openly declare “Hath God said?” because of a lack of boldness.

Preaching the gospel alone is disobedience?

On second thought, that is rather bold.

Why the Gospel is not sufficient – At least this guy comes right out with it.

The Church Must Compromise – The voices of apostasy continue to grow louder, more insistent–and more like the world, less like the Lamb.

The pagan churches preach another gospel:  its name is DISCIPLESHIP.  It de-emphasizes the gospel (naturally) and emphasizes man-manufactured discipleship programs.

They are twice accursed.

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
–Galatians 1:8-9

THE WAY OF THE POLITICAL WORLD

ERIC CANTOR: Down to defeat in GOP Va. Primary battle to Tea Party conservative
ERIC CANTOR: Down to defeat in GOP Va. Primary battle to Tea Party conservative

House majority Leader Eric Cantor loses GOP primary to Tea Party conservative -This is usually what happens once the media has declared a particular movement “dead” and started writing the obituaries–in this case, the Tea Party.

IF the Tea Party were truly dead, the media would not write a word about it–instead of stirring up resentment between the “establishment” and the “Tea Party.”

The Corporate Media’s stock-in-trade includes anger, resentment, deceit and fear–especially fear.

The Corporate Media exists to deceive, but it also exists to divide loyalties and by dividing, to prepare Americans for a coming conquest.

However, this conquest will ultimately be quite different than the scenarios currently being peddled by the fear-mongers.  In fact, the fear-mongering serves an important purpose in the coming conquest.

But today?

Many won’t be fearful.

They are too busy celebrating–or plotting revenge.
