Tag: Jonestown

—Matthew 24:4-5

Of supreme interest to this writer are the commenters which, 30+ years after the harsh lessons of Jonestown, still reject Christianity or still confuse Jim Jones with Christianity.  But these poor souls are only a tiny subset of the numbers who will blindly follow another imposter, coming in the future.  From the sound of the comments, some of the survivors will most probably repeat their mistake in following another false Christ in the future.

However, having said that, there are many today who confuse those who “come in Christ’s name” with Christ. Many such men appear as “ministers of righteousness.”

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
—2 Corinthians 11:14-15

It’s a daily happening all over the USA.  The world is wrapping many things with the name of “Christian” and throwing in a few references to “God.” This appears to be the correct formula for disabling American Christian discernment.  It’s a recipe that’s made multimillionaires out of the ‘ministers of righteousness’ who walketh about the airwaves of Christian TV networks.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
—1 Peter 5:8

It’s deluded Christians who have propelled The Shack, The Harbinger and The Circle Maker to best-seller status  And while the immediate consequences of embracing such New Age/pagan/antichrist literature may not have the same earthly impact as embracing a Jim Jones, surely the eternal results could be as bad.

And warning these souls is a thankless task.

Completely.

Utterly.

Totally.

Thankless.

On most days.  Still:

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
—Revelation 22:12

17 Ancient Abandoned Websites that still work – Includes the 1996 Dole-Kemp presidential website.  1996 is the Internet equivalent to the Age of Dinosaurs.  It was the year this writer constructed his first Internet website. Back before publishing platforms–such as WordPress and Blogger–made things a lot easier.

Violent video games leave teens “morally immature” – That’s what the Corporate Media is calling it: morally immature.  Sit through thousands of simulated killings of men–sometimes women and children as well–and you may end up “morally immature.”

In the 1996 movie, Grosse Point Blank, the protagonist is explaining how he became a high-price contract hit man.

Martin Q. Blank: When I left, I joined the Army, and when I took the service exam, my psych profile fit a certain… “moral flexibility” would be the best way to describe it. I was loaned out to a CIA-sponsored program – it’s called “mechanical operations” – and we sort of found each other.

“Moral Flexibility” or “moral immaturity”: It’s so creative how killing” is described nowadays.

100+ more suicides in US military in 2012 than combat deaths in Iraq – Part of the information for this claim comes from an AP story which no longer is online at the AP’s site.  This is the kind of figure which raises a few red flags for several reasons–especially if one is skeptical of all the deaths that are labeled “suicides.”

The Bible does not cover up the sins of the men and women featured in it.  Of all of the violent deaths reported in the Bible, only seven of them were suicides..

People who changed the world – Came across one of those sad, little webpages which elevate the men of this world.  Four men were listed under the heading: “People who changed the world”

Arnold Schwarzenegger – Before the public knew Schwarzenegger for his deeds instead of his words and his fantasy actions, some Republicans wanted to change the constitution to allow him to run for president.  Then accusations from women who worked with Schwarzenegger surfaced forcing him to famously declare “I’m not a pervert.”  [While the original LA Times article has been removed, a copy of it is at the link.]  One doesn’t hear much about changing the constitution for Arnold in 2014.

Mahatma Gandhi – Although his public image is carefully cultivated, the Indian rebel enslaved his followers, wrote about his bizarre sexual demands and was finally assassinated.

Bill Gates – Creating a webpage honoring the Microsoft founder might be the strategy of someone who hopes that he will be spared when Gates’ New World Order comes to town.

Steve Jobs – While there is a cult that worships Jobs, many more pay homage to the device he created and adorned with the logo of an apple missing a bite.

Sad.

Pre-Crime: What is Pre-Crime and Why are You already Guilty?

How to cover up a Murder – Quite remarkable.  The Internet is full of websites which are classified as “How-to.”.  This article doesn’t even come from such a site.

Some may ask “Why include a link to this article?”  Which is a fair question.

Many of the same people asking this question would protest the proposition that Christians in American have generally become comfortable with this world.  “This present evil world” is bad in theory–but in practice?  That’s something that is not so bad.

“Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:”
—Galatians 1:4 – (h/t:B)

Sadly, many Christians compromise dozens of times each and every day with the world. A few repent, the rest make excuses.This article is a reminder that this world is not something with which the Christian ought to make peace. Regardless of the inconveniences such a break ensures.

This article is also an indication of the times in which we live.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
–2 Timothy 3:13

This is also an opportunity to point out that this present evil world–which so many enjoy–is filled with unspeakable evil.  There are far, far worse things lurking than this article.  Many of the articles one comes across while performing research: well, a link to such things can’t even be posted they are so wicked.

Subway to remove “dough conditioner” from its bread – “Dough conditioner.”  That’s creative….

The chemical, azodicarbonamide, is also found in yoga mats and shoe soles.

“After facing backlash from customers, Subway says it will remove a chemical in its bread that’s also found in yoga mats. Some people were like, “You mean I’ve been eating a dangerous chemical?” While most people were like, “You mean I can eat my yoga mat?”

USA taxes Olympic medal winners up to 39.6 PER CENT on cash bonuses – plus the value of the precious metals around their necks

Under investigation, American Title CEO dead in grisly suicide –  This CEO had admirable tenacity.  His suicide consisted of SEVEN or EIGHT nails fired into his head and torso. One would think three or four nails might slow someone down.  This was obviously one determined suicide victim.

This brought to mind the following information:

“One in the head and one in the torso is, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned in some past post, the mark of a trained assassin, and it usually gets the job done.”

Of course, the above was referring to bullets.  Nails are another matter entirely.  It probably does take “seven or eight” of those to “get the job done.”

Also of interest was this tidbit near the end of the article.

“Talley’s 1989 wedding announcement in the Chicago Tribune noted he was a graduate of the University of Miami and had a graduate degree from Northwestern University’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management.

It also said he was “a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic swimming team.” A spokeswoman for USA Swimming on Thursday said Talley was not on the team.”

New York City’s Holidays for Muslims could be Unconstitutional – “Unconstitutional” is a word that gets thrown around quite a bit in the USA.  Americans have been taught to place their trust in; to revere their constitution.  Various Americans have declared the US constitution to be the “greatest political document created by man.”

Which should be a heads-up for Christians.

“…created by man.”

In an unrelated article, we’re reminded that the constitution of North Korea guarantees “freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, demonstration and association.”

We’re also reminded that the Russian people under the various Soviet constitutions, had more rights guaranteed to them than Americans.

“Soviet constitutions declared certain political rights, such as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion. They also identified a series of economic and social rights, as well as a set of duties of all citizens. The legislature was to be elected at periodical elections.”

Just a reminder that what the ordinary American thinks the constitution says–as opposed to what we’re told it says–are two completely different things.  Which has been demonstrated time and again over the years.

Pledge of Allegiance was written to help sell American flags to schools – Written by a minister who grew “tired of ministry.”  The original version did not include the words “under God.”  Those were added in 1954 at the urging of the Knights of Columbus.

The World’s Advice to the parents of a homosexual son – This is one of the reasons this writer has long harbored suspicions that “letters” to advice columns were composed by whoever wrote the column.  One tip-off in this article: the letter sounds like the Corporate Media’s propaganda version of a Christian–as opposed to an actual believer.

A Florida County Spent Over $5 Million Jailing Homeless People. It Could’ve Spent Less On Shelter – The use of the homeless as an lab rats in an experimental social laboratory is taking a darker turn in America.

WISDOM OF THE WORLD: Turning Vice into a Virtue

“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau

Saw this quote displayed at the top of a blog which featured the two themes of Christianity and Freedom.  It is an example of the world’s wisdom which is usually in direct opposition to what the Bible has to say on the same subject.  Because American Christians have long been raised on the world’s wisdom, many assume that these quotes by men have the same validity as the Word of God.

What does the Bible have to say about obedience to the civil authorities?  Actually, it has plenty to say.

But not much that most American Christians want to hear.

What was the first sin committed in the Garden?

Disobedience.

What was the first sin, committed in Heaven by Lucifer?

Rebellion.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.  Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”
–Romans 13:1-2, 6-7

Romans 13 is crystal clear on the matter of Christians obeying the civil authorities–which is one reason the Corporate Media spends a LOT of time trying to convince occasional Christians that Romans 13 doesn’t really mean what it clearly says.  Why do you think NWO puppets such as Glenn Beck and David Barton make so much money?  They both play the classic con game: win the confidence of Christians and then feed them a lie and go for the Big Score.

In this case, the lie is that it’s okay to rebel against the authorities.

“Look at the founding fathers!  They pledged their sacred honor!”

But the American founding fathers were rebels not Christians–in spite of the incredible amount of media time and space devoted to promoting that myth.

BUT BUT BUT…What about tyranny?  What about “These are the times which try men’s souls?”

As to the second, Common Sense was written by probably one of the world’s most famous atheists at the time, Thomas Paine.  Americans learn in school that men such as Paine and Thomas Jefferson were “deists,” meaning that they believed in one god.  Which is true–at least in Jefferson’s case.  What we’re not told is that it wasn’t the God of the Bible.  It was the entity the Bible calls “the god of this world.”

The American founders threw the word “god” around quite frequently.  Search their writings and personal letters for a positive reference to Jesus Christ.  “Jesus” was like Kryptonite to them.

“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”—2 Corinthians 4:4

As to the first, the apostle Peter wrote his first epistle to persecuted Christians.  They were faced with real tyranny: loss of their property and life by the Roman authorities.  What did Peter tell these Christians?

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.”
—1 Peter 2:13-16

Doesn’t sound like Peter would have made a very good founding father, does it?

Again, the founders were rebels–not Christians.  Why else do you think there were so many colonial flags which featured serpents on them?  And there was more than one..

Surely, the Bible has more than just these two verses.  Isn’t there anything else?

Why, yes there is.

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”
–1 Samuel 15:23

That’s not going to help the calls for a Second American Revolution.

But what about Jesus?  Surely He would have been in Boston Harbor at the Tea Party protesting unfair taxes.  Right?

“Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute [taxes] unto Caesar, or not?

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”
—Matthew 22:15-21

That wasn’t very helpful.

“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government [authority]. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”
—2 Peter 2:9-10

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”–1 Timothy 3:1-2

For Christians, the Word of God is very clear: one can either be a rebel and follow man–or one can follow Christ.

One cannot do both.

Saul Alinsky, Exhibit A for New World Order pagan Luciferianism–and the mentor of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama–dedicated his book, Rules for Radicals to a “rebel.”   The words of the dedication should be instructive for American Christians about rebellion..  But with all of the talk of rebellion and revolution, one has to acknowledge it hasn’t been.

“Lest we forget at least an over the shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.”
—Rules for Radicals

“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”

One wonders how a quote elevating disobedience to a virtue finds itself on a website maintained by a Christian.

Then one remembers: we Americans have a long. long history of turning vice into virtue.

UPDATE on 2-9-14: Forgot another Bible verse which offers very clear, unmistakeable instructions to the Christian contemplating rebellion.

“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”
—Hebrews 13:17

One can either be a rebel or a Christian.

One cannot be both.
