An Outouring of Love

What a couple of week it has been in retrospect. What a terrible act of Terrorism. Who could believe seeing the New Zealand Police force out in large numbers with there rifles in hand. The tributes to the Muslims families and the river of flowers meters deep and many meters long. The people gathered near the Mosques just standing in quiet repose and often with tears streaming down their faces. Contemplating the act of terror that took fifty people in the midst of their lives. Talented people, some old and some young others in their prime. It cut us to the quick as New Zealand citizens and caused an outpouring of love from within our very hearts. Because that is who we are as a nation. A people who would give the shirt of our back or take anyone into our home to get them back on their feet without sparing a second thought.
 
I believe this love comes from the people that we are and the religion that we have followed in the past. Many of us are still Christians. Apparently their are still forty four percent of New Zealanders that relate to the Christian religion as of the 2018 census. But given that there was such national outpouring of love for the families of the Christchurch Shooting victims. A lot of people are living a Christian life but denying the power. Why would you do that? What is the point of being a good or a righteous person if your life has no real point. Nothing to give you hope. If you believe that this is it. You’re going to be along time dead. You know the the drama. We’ve all heard it. 
 
Well have I got good news for you. This isn’t all there is! Jesus loves you with all of his great and Godly heart and he has plans for you. In the Old Testament the Prophet Jeremiah says this about you “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11. 
 
My friends, Jesus loves you and wants to bring you into his family as his personal brothers and sisters. He has paid the price for your sins by taking the weight of them on the cross shedding his sinless blood as God’s only begotten Son to cleanse them away forever (1Peter 2:24). So if you believe on him you will be free of sin and have eternal life (John 3:16).
 
Now, I know that Christians get a bad wrap when it comes to being at times less than welcoming and quite judgemental. Hence all the discourse among secularists about the need for anti-hate speech legislation and to muzzle Christians for being anti homosexual, anti women’s rights and in short just plain discriminatory. Please believe me when I tell you that Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God is welcoming to everyone and loves all of us. Imagine Jesus as the Son of Man standing facing you with his arms outstretched and a welcoming and loving smile on his face. Saying “Come unto me all ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
 
He would negotiate your freedom as he did with the woman who was brought to him to for committing adultery who the authorities were about to stone and they sought to trap Jesus in judging her. What did he say? “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” When the woman’s accusers walked away one by one. He then said to her “Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” John 8: 10-11
 
Jesus always said those five words to those he healed or helped as they interacted with him “Go and sin no more.” But his love was unwavering and his compassion as deep as an ocean. Jesus of Nazareth the only begotten Son of Jehovah loves you. He has plans for you to prosper you not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Won’t you turn aside from your path. Turn aside from the arduous journey that is your life. Won’t you listen for a moment to the King of Kings who created you and does not want you to perish in your sins. To Jesus Christ the Son of Man, the Son of God, who took the sins of a lost mankind on his shoulders on the Cross at Calvary. Who shed his sinless blood for you. Who would say to you believe on me unto eternal life and go and sin no more.
You should know that Jesus is “The way, the truth and the life and that no man comes to the father but through him.” John 14:6. You should also know that “There is none righteous not even one.” Romans 3:10. “For all have sinned and all fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 and “... the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6.23. So don’t feel judged by your fellow man, be he Christian or not because we all fall short of Gods glory. Each and every one of us and the wages of our sin is death. That is what we deserve but Jesus loves us and so the freely given gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. 
 
My dear friends. God so loved you that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him shall not perish but will inherit eternal life. John 3:16. So won’t you ask him to forgive your sins and come into your heart so that you might receive forgiveness for your sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit in your life. Acts 2:38. Please give this plea your utmost consideration. 
 
My God bless you and keep you. May he touch your heart that when you hear him knock you might ask him to come in and receive his gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 

There's a Storm Coming

What a tumultuous couple of weeks. A terrorist attack in New Zealand. A change of focus on who perpetrates terror in this World. The endorsement of a Papal Covenant between the two greatest religious organisations of all time. Police carrying weapons full time in New Zealand. All of this talk about hate speech and the Deputy Prime Minister being called to stand down for his comments about Islam in the past. The World Religion in our Parliament.
Then the questions? Why a change from Islam to Far Right Terror? What are the ramifications of the agreement between Catholicism and Islam? Why do Police need to carry weapons full time? Why this sudden clamp down on freedom of speech? What is the World Religion?
 
I would put forward that there was never Islamic Terror in the first place. The Al Qaeda movement and the Isis movement were both funded by government sources. The West had a hand in it and obviously Saudi Arabia were almost openly supportive of these two Sunni Islamic groups. Oh they may not have acknowledged it publicly but the connections were not deeply buried. Then there was Iran and the Shia groups of the Taliban and Hezbollah locked in conflict with the West and Israel. These are not really terrorist groups they are actually well resourced Commando Armies.
 
On the other hand we have Far Right Fascism which to a large extent is only a populist group. Certainly after World War Two they could have been considered an army but these days the more militaristic part of the organisation is embedded in the global economy and the guys on the coal face tend to be isolated extremists. There is little doubt that the rise of Islam will galvanise the resolve of the Far Right and I doubt there is much the government can do to stop that should they genuinely attempt to douse the flames. So it is reasonably certain that there will be more unrest in our immediate future.
I think the ramifications of the Covenant between Catholicism and Islam will see an immediate increase in the immigration of Islam through out the West. Especially, given that there was a huge displacement of Muslim people from Syria into Europe in recent years. It follows that those people are looking to settle around the West. So, with the new agreement rebranding Islam as friend rather than foe. Why not Australia or New Zealand as a new homeland for this displaced peoples? Just musing here.
 
And of course with all of this immigration the freedom of speech was always going to be a liability. Islam is not known for its tolerance toward other religions and fascism is the response of the disenfranchised in Christian nations toward other faiths perceived to be benefiting at the expense of the majority. Therefore it is important for the media and authorities to control the language that is permitted in society about Islam and of course other secular minorities. Hence the almost draconian move to call out anyone that speaks against the current excessively positive rhetoric about the Christchurch shootings.
 
The Police in New Zealand are now armed at all times. This was supposedly for a short time while we are on a high alert status for more terror. However, it appears that with each new small event the Police may well extend the period of arms carrying. So, if every few days the Police dig up a new lead to terror will they continue to carry arms? It begs the question “What is going on here behind the scenes?” Is a period of totalitarian rule beginning in our little piece of paradise? Is freedom of speech under threat with anyone who questions the motives of those in power now going to be under the scrutiny of the law. Is this the new normal in New Zealand? I hope not.
 
I’m seeing a lot rhetoric in the media about a range of religious issues. Yoga in all it’s guises is at epidemic proportions and is in essence pure Buddhist teaching as is meditation or mindfulness. Martial Arts are also incredibly popular and involve mind control techniques. Of course Islam is being promoted as the religion of peace and tolerance which you don’t have to do much research on it to find that, that claim is possibly stretching the definition somewhat. Paganism is everywhere and nowhere is it stronger than in the constant barrage of Marvel Universe movies and the trailers that are plastered across the screens of the nations televisions. Religious change is now almost continuous in this time as is the move away from Christianity. 
 
My friends, a time of change is upon us as we witness the rapid demise of Christianity globally and the ascension of every other type of religion. In the bible II Thessalonians chapter two verse three says this “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition...” Thus this rather depressing falling away has to come for the end of the age to come and for our Lord Jesus Christ to return.
 
Now, as I said earlier in this piece. I’m just musing and these are simply the best guesses of an aging Christian skeptic given the facts as I perceive them. If you watch the media you’ll notice lots of clues that added together suggest something is coming. There is little doubt, in my mind, that these are the last days of this age but the other assertions that I have made are just that, assertions. Food for thought. I think “A Storm is Coming.”

What Just Happened...


The Christchurch Mosques Shooting has been a watershed moment in the history of New Zealand. The nation showcased what a true secular liberal democracy should be in the face a terror event which targeted the most vulnerable ethnic group in that society. There was an outpouring of love for the families of the victims of the most heinous kind of hate crime that anyone could perpetrate. The whole country pulled together to wrap around the Muslim community and to show that we love and support them regardless of what may have happened in the past. It was a truly laudable effort.
 
From a Christian perspective the response to the shootings was classic “Love Your Neighbor as You Love Yourself.” Which is exactly the response that was required and everyone in the country was completely in accord with that. We Kiwi don’t stand on ceremony. It doesn’t matter who you are we’ll take you in and do our best to get you back on your feet. It might not be popular to say so but that comes from the Christian values that were so strong in this land through the twentieth century.
 
Of concern to Christians in particular was the decision of the Government to invite an Interfaith group to pray as strangers on the floor of the Debating Chamber with the Members of Parliament. Then subsequent to this, as a part of a national prayer vigil, Imam Nizam ul haq Thanvi was asked to deliver a call to prayer. The call to prayer is well known to anyone familiar with Islam and includes the statement “There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of God.” I’m sure this is probably of little consequence to people of a secular liberal background. However, to Christians this is something we never thought to see in New Zealand and certainly not with so little warning.
 
When the current Government came into power the speaker made a decision to omit the name of Jesus Christ from the daily opening prayer and the Prime Minister Ms. Ardern did not use the Holy Bible at her swearing in ceremony. Now lets face it Protestant Christianity is not the bastion it once was in this country so when the government makes these kinds of decision we can only see them as the writing on the wall and accept them with some sadness and regret as we contemplate what it means for the future. We were probably thinking that the separation of Church and State was being the likely driving force? But when an Interfaith group consisting of representatives from Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, Rātana, Catholic, Anglican and Presbyterian faiths and churches is invited to pray in the parliament of our once Christian nation. What are we to think? On top of this incredible turn of events an Imam is to deliver the call to prayer from Parliament for a national vigil. One is led to ask “What just happened here?”
 
I would propose that three major events played out through the Mosque Shootings.
  1. The new global terror is Far Right Extremism.
  2. The New World Religion entered the Global Arena in the NZ Parliament.
  3. Pope Francis’s peace accord with Islam was officially showcased to the World.
So what are the ramifications from this very public introduction of these three global policies. Already the Far Right are in the media if in a relatively insignificant way with Mosques in Birmingham England receiving external damage from a man with a sledge hammer. Far Right are the aggressor and as in Christchurch, Muslim are the victims. It would seem that a change is being affected in the media.
 
The ramifications of the New World Religion entering the New Zealand Parliament are going to be far more significant than it would at first seem from what happened over the Mosque Shootings. Basically it hails the end of the separation of Church and State. From here on we are going to see a lot more of the New World Religion Interfaith teams intervening in Western Democracies and in World events globally at the highest level. Admittedly, I think they’ll start small as the launch of the New World Religion isn’t scheduled until next year along with the roll out of the New World Order (Global Government). 
 
The peace accord between the Catholic Church and Islam means that Islam and Catholicism are now side by side even in the Western Democracies. For the Catholic Church this is the fruition of five hundred years of hard work by the Jesuits to finally bring down the domination of the Protestant Church and open the door for Church and State to become one again. It would doubtless please Rome to be able to enact Papal annates on the many Protestant territories that haven’t paid them for centuries if in the case of various colonies, ever. To put it succinctly Rome is back and by Rome I mean pagan Rome. 
 
We are witnessing the reversal of Constantine’s Christianising of Pagan Rome. Interfaith brings Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hindu, Islam, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism and Zoroastrianism into a global world religion. This is fulfillment of centuries of work behind the scenes of organisations like the Theosophical Society and the Lucis Trust who have been working quietly to promote a return to paganism. Although Christianity has joined this movement they are not in general bible believing Christians and will accept the Pope as head of the Church and the coming New World Order. We are witnessing the paganisation of Christianity and the return of the Dark Ages. In Short the end of the Age of Grace.
 
My advice to bible believing Christians is keep your head down unless you feel called by Jehovah to do otherwise. Don’t write angry and insulting letters to the prime minister or whatever other radical things you were contemplating. This is the End Time and these things must take place before the Son of Man will return. Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. KJV The real focus of the Remnant is to get the gospel out there, live right and pray with all of your being for the good of the Church and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God. 
 
So Remember live holy, and preach John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” KJV Lets win those souls to Jesus Christ! God Bless you all in these the last days. Come Quickly Lord Jesus.

Don't Look At ME...

I ended up having the conversation again this morning. The one that says you’re a Christian and you have the worst attitude toward someone we all know. The conversation that says “There you are splashing articles about Faith on Social Media and pretending to be Super Christian.” My response is “I already know that I’m not a good Christian.” “Far from it in fact.” 
 
Actually I’m the analyst and the critic and in world where people have heard a constant diatribe of positivity and they don’t take criticism well, at all. If you want to make someone frown then critique their work. They generally don’t want to hear it these days. There is no great appetite for reality when it applies to individual achievement.
 
Back to Christianity and me. I’m unchurched. I have never in my life as a Christian, about fifty three years, spent more than a couple of years devoting time to Church. Two of those years were as a youngster at Boarding School. I loved that time because the denomination was Anglican and the pastor was a man called Cannon Sergal who was a lovely Christian man with a vast knowledge of the bible. He could weave good sermons based on personal experience and theological knowledge. 
 
The rest of the time I could never find somewhere that I fit. As an analyst I tend to be opinionated and I am also quite a political character. I always felt I’d cause mayhem and so I steered clear. I guess there is an element of the half converted to me as well. I tend to have a rich use of the English language at times and I don’t think the fine sensibilities of the good Christian folk in Churches would cope with me. Then it would only be a matter of time until I upset someone and ended up getting thrown out of the establishment. Therefore I haven’t worried with the notion of being a great Church goer. Most Christians would say that God expects me to go to Church and they are right but I don’t so there we have it.
 
What is comes down to is the reason that I splash my Christianity on Social Media and where ever else that I can is not because of my being such a fine Christian. It is because I have faith in the one living God. Jehovah Elohim. That faith informs me that the only thing that matters in this life is the decision that every person that is alive today will make about God. So it comes down to either accepting God or rejecting God. Choose salvation in the redemptive work Jesus Christ on the cross and his payment for your sin debt and receive eternal life. Or! Reject the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and suffer the eternal fire and the second death.
 
So I’d love to be a fine Christian and all but I’m not. That’s not the point. The point is:
 
WHERE WILL YOU SPEND YOUR ETERNITY ???

LOOK AT YOU...

Testimony

When I was four years old I remember walking down the tanker track toward the farm dairy, one summer day, with my older brother and my Dad. My brother was sixteen and had recently become a Christian. He was newly converted, full of enthusiasm and curiosity about God’s word and doctrines. They were talking animatedly about Christian things and Dad was explaining something to him.
 
After all of these years. It was nineteen sixty four after all. I can’t remember exactly what the conversations were all about. The two of them seemed to really enjoy talking about Christianity and Dad seemed very knowledgeable about the bible and very willing to support Douglas in his walk as a young believer. I used to tag along with them to listen in and one time I asked Dad if he believed in Jesus. He said that he did and I said “I believe in Jesus too.” That was when I first believed. I’ve been a believer in Jesus Christ ever since. Never missed a day. This is a precious memory because Dad passed away only three years later in nineteen sixty seven. 
 
It just shows how important sharing your faith is as a Christian. You never know who will be touched by the Holy Spirit and brought into the family of God because of you testimony. Even your own children can be reached without your ever meaning to win them to Christ. Your personal witness is such a powerful tool in the service of God. 
 
Dad was a good father and a good farmer but wouldn’t have been remembered for his strong Christian witness necessarily. However, when he earnestly shared his faith and knowledge with his children. He was able to help one son go on to a life of commitment to winning souls to Jesus Christ and the other son (me). He won to Christ. Not a bad effort all in all.
Testimony folks. It’s what it’s all about.

The Story of Man



I was watching the last minutes of the movie Wonder Woman today and got the jist of the tale being told. Wonder Woman was involved with the last events in WW1. No pun intended. The Germans had developed a powerful chemical bomb that they were going to use to win the war for Germany.

Wonder Woman ended up in a battle with the German commanding officer who wasn’t entirely a normal human being. She won in the end of course but who should turn up then but the God of War, Ares himself. Spewing a story of human failure he recited a story of woe about how mankind had ruined the Earth with wars and over population but he was the only God who could see it. Turns out he had been inciting wars for thousands of years in an attempt to shape the future and eventually wipe out humanity. He had finally developed a weapon capable of doing the job and was about to use it.
A battle ensued between Ares and Wonder Woman and Chris Pine managed to get aboard the bomber carrying the bomb and after securing the aircraft he neutralised the bomb by detonating it short of the target area. Ares had the best of the battle with Wonder Woman but she discovered the difference between him and her. Love was her motivation and was much more powerful as an emotion and force that hatred. This turned the tide and she was able to defeat Ares. Subsequently Wonder Woman settled with humanity and took up and alias whereby she could be a protector of mankind through the ages. Entrance Marvel Universe and the Justice League on the path to the future of mankind and the distant future.

The battle for the hearts and minds of mankind in our time is defined within the context of the Hollywood Entertainment Industry and its fusion with Pagan World Religion (Babylon), and of course includes the New World Order and all of the cartel named in the Bible as the Mystery of Iniquity or Mystery Babylon. We are living in a time when many people cannot tell the difference between reality and fiction.

In paganism there are many gods and goddess’s and many different myths and legends across a vast array of nations. There is a common thread loosely speaking that the Gods and Goddess’s gave birth to mankind or created mankind to worship them. There are those that bare similarity to the Christian version of creation as well, for example the Maori version where the God Tanematua formed the woman first of red ochre and breathed life into her.

In Greek mythology Prometheus is said to have brought about the creation of men and there are said to be five ages of man. First the Golden Age where men were honourable and lived long lives. In the bible this age equated to the line of Seth in the pre-flood era. Next came the Silver Age where man was not so honourable and didn’t live as long as the first era. Equating to the mmediately post flood era where the bible describes man living to great age but not as long as those of the line of Seth in the pre-flood era.

Then came the third age bronze age of the time of the middle kingdom in Egypt and of the Hittites and Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar day. These were warlike men with armour and even houses of bronze. They worshipped the God of War – Ares. You know of the infamous God of War seeking the destruction of mankind in the Wonder Woman movie. Who believed that man was only capable of dishonourable deeds, are greedy and foolish and ultimately only destructive and guilty of the destruction of the Earth.

Fourth came the Age of Heroes. The demigods like Achilles and Hercules. Men and women of great renown who fought great battles and performed great deeds. For instance, Achilles slaying Hector in the battle for Troy and his own subsequent demise because of the arrow through his heel. Greek mythology says that Zeus created the demigods to restore the glory of earlier years. There does not seem to be a specific mention of the heroes in the bible as far as I am aware. Men of great renown are mentioned in the pre-flood times and Nimrod of the post flood years seems to have been a larger that life type of man. However nothing is mentioned in the bible that lines up with the era around the time of the fall of Troy.

The last age is the Iron Age or the era that Christians would know as the Age of Grace. In mythology this is seen as a time when man is morally bankrupt and lives short meaningless lives. Zeus is going to come back and destroy mankind as he did in the past. This age matches well with scripture and fits in well with the dream of Nebuchadnezzar of the man with the Golden Head, the Silver Chest, The Brass Thighs, The Legs of Iron and Feet of Iron and Clay. The last two Iron Ages match the Greek Iron Age. Satan is indeed going to destroy a large part of mankind in a time of tribulation to come at the end of this age.

Now as Ares is arguing in the Wonder Woman movie “Is man really only capable of enmity and destruction and is that all he has ever done?” From a Christian point of view the answer is maybe. There is a conflict of universal proportions taking place and man is stuck in the middle of it. A major part of this conflict happened before man was even in existence when the archangel Lucifer (Satan), corrupted himself and began a work to corrupt the other angels in and effort to foment a rebellion against Jehovah Elohim (God). He and a third of the angels were defeated and expelled from heaven and were exiled to the Earth.

Jehovah Elohim began the six day creation work on Earth as detailed in the book of Genesis in the bible in chapters one and two. Adam and Eve were created and for a period of time were in constant harmony with Jehovah. Then Satan came and tempted (tested), them and they disobeyed Jehovah by eating of fruit of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil. Their disobedience smashed their bond with Jehovah and lead to the dispensation of the Adamic Covenant which described the consequences of the Fall of Man and what man would need to do to be redeemed at that time.

In the aftermath of the Fall, Adam and Eve had children. Cain was the first born and Abel his younger brother. They were sacrificing offerings to Jehovah and Abel’s offering of meat was accepted and Cain’s offering of plants was not. This caused Cain to grow angry and he killed Abel. Ultimately, this lead to the formation of two lines of men. The line of Cain who have for the most part rejected Jehovah and aligned with Satan throughout human history and the line of Seth a younger progeny of Adam and Eve who took the place of Abel as a righteous man in alignment with the will of Jehovah.

Hence the battle lines were drawn on this universal conflict between the forces of Jehovah Elohim and the forces of Satan. Much harm and damage has been done to the Earth through the constant wars that Satan has made war against the people of God and Satan being the liar that he is has written and rewritten history to make it seem that the people of God are to blame for most things. He has also taken the economic high ground by placing the line of Cain in high positions of government and wealth control in the empires through the ages. In this way the devil is able to attack the children of Jehovah until today.

Don’t misunderstand me Jehovah hampers the devil at every turn too but it is continual conflict that will soon finally be resolved in great tribulation and the return of Jesus Christ the Messiah as described in the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation in the Bible. As to the answer “Is man only capable of destruction?” Satan is responsible for much of the destruction that we see in the world, today and throughout history. If man had not disobeyed Jehovah in the beginning the world would be a paradise even today and this would also be true if fallen man had followed God more closely through the ages. But they didn’t and fallen man has caused a lot of destruction because of Satan’s manipulation.

“Is the damage that has been done to the Earth all Mankind’s fault?” I know that I have in a large part answered this question but it is still important to raise it because Satan does. Satan hates Jehovah and he hates all of the creation that Jehovah brought into being as described in Genesis chapters one and two. Looking at the actions he has taken, throughout history, to pit man against man and to encourage mankind to devastate the Earth in war and in the name of technological development. Often for the purposes of war. It is obvious that he intends to destroy mankind and purge Earth of every last trace of the creation. I believe that he stands before Jehovah prosecuting the exact case that man is responsible for the ruin of the Earth and all of creation. It is therefore important to point out that Satan and his fallen angels are actually responsible for manipulating man to accomplish the devastation of the Earth and creation. It is also important to point out and that mankind has largely been and unwitting porn in the schemes of the devil. Keep in mind here that Jehovah knows this to be the case but many humans in our time believe Satan’s deceit in this matter and they vocally decry man as being guilty in this matter and point to Christianity in particular for the environmental ruin because they say we are not in harmony with nature.

A thought which leads nicely to our next question. “How have the works of Satan and paganism affected the course of human endeavour.” Paganism is portrayed the group of religions that man first believed from an anthropological perspective on the evolutionary journey from the earlier primates to Neanderthal Man and on to Modern Man. It is theorised amongst secular scientists that it is man’s natural response to the world around him and a way in which he dealt with naturally arising fear and anxiety. Now scientists would never admit to a spiritual dynamic that caused man to react in the way of the pagan religions and inspired the pagan rituals including human sacrifice. But those involved in paganism would not necessarily need physical evidence to help them reach a conclusion that there was something real in it and some scientists might also become pagans.

So how has paganism affected the course of human endeavour? If you take the scientific perspective then paganism is simply a necessary part of human evolution. We are where we are today in no small part due to the religious practises of our ancestors. As a Christian I would see paganism as the religion of Naturalism and the worship of forces of nature which lead to creation of God entities other than God. It has and is leading men into the breaking of the Second Commandment: Exodus chapter 20 verses 4 -5 You shall not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens above, on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them...” Paganism when ever it has arisen has lead mankind in rebellion against Jehovah and caused them to fall into darkness, debauchery and hedonism. Mankind before the great flood of Genesis chapter six and Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter nineteen were biblical examples of this actually taking place. a Babylon in Nimrod’s time (Genesis chapter eleven), and later in Nebuchadnezzar’s time (The Book of Daniel), and Assyria in the time of Shalmaneser (2Kings chapter seventeen). Nations and epochs described in the Bible where men were caught up in the worship of idols in paganism. Times when ritual atrocities rose as a stench unto the most high Jehovah Elohim. Times when mankind was devolving into the worst kind of demonic activity and depravity seeking only God’s Judgement in the end.

My last question is “Why has Satan strived so hard to hide the truth about man and creation from us?” Throughout history Satan has used his pagan religious organisations to garner influence and foster power with the aim of controlling how and what history records and rewriting outcomes to suit his own agenda. An example of this is how Rome described the Ancient Vaudois Church as the Waldenses and Albigenses in order to convince the World that the Vaudois Church is not the unbroken descendants of the Apostolic Church but rather the much more recent creation of Peter Waldo of Lyon in 1173AD. If the Vaudois were demonstrably the Apostolic Church then Rome would be the usurper. So you see their motivation.

In more recent times Satan has sort to gather up all of the archaeological evidence which would give support to the bible account of mankind. For instance the skeletons of giants are known to have commonly existed in the recent past but are now extremely rare to find. So the answer to this question is that Satan seeks to discredit the Christian perspective on the history of mankind and has continually sort to write history as he wants it to be recorded not to provide the truth. He does not wish to face the inconvenience of the truth so he changes the truth to be what he says it is.

Coming back to Wonder Woman and the Marvel Universe it is also fair to say that Satan has developed a powerful global entertainment empire to brainwash mankind with his version of imaginary history. There is very much that is true, evil and dangerous in that entertainment in that it contains a lot of information about how magic and the dark side works. It contains a lot of information about paganism and naturalism. It is very dangerous and very seductive to the uninitiated and a very efficient way of programming future soldiers of the coming world government.

Me and the Law



For the longest time I wasn’t going anywhere as a Christian and it was because I could never get my head around the concept that to make progress in the Christian life you have to surrender it to Jesus Christ.
For me to make progress you had to do something to cause spiritual progress. I couldn’t fathom that for me to make progress God had to do something. I’ve always looked at the bible as one book and I love the Torah more than the New Testament. No I love Jesus more than anything but he’s in the Torah as well. You just have to know what you’re reading about.
So... I began to envy the Old Testament saints. You see, in the days of the Torah it was simple. Obey the law, make sacrifice for your family and you’re as good as there. It’s a paint by numbers process and I’m a paint by numbers kind of guy. Simple.
Look, I know the Old Testament life and being under the Law means death. No man except the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, could live under the Law and not sin. Even the Christian, saved under Grace in Jesus Christ is generally not repentant and no where near living a sinless life because he, or she, doesn’t surrender to the Holy Spirit. My original problem actually.
The saints of the Torah waited until Jesus of Nazareth was resurrected for Salvation just as we depend on him for salvation now. Anyway, in defeat I couldn’t see a way clear and so I wished I’d been born in the Old Testament times. I love the idea of knowing exactly what I need to do to make the grade and I find the confusion amongst Christianity about what is needful to be done to be an anathema to the soul. It is positively corrosive to the Christian life.
Most Christians follow the Pauline teachings and tend to de-emphasize the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Everything that Jesus said was based around loving God and loving your fellow man as you love yourself. The Lord dealt with the individual and helped them by meeting their needs and leading them toward salvation. Paul focused on the detail of the Christian daily life and the politics of the Church. His emphasis was more obey the Earthly government and it’s dictates and believe the theological pedagogy that I lay down or there will be trouble. I know folk reading this will take issue with what I am saying and that’s fair enough. I love Paul and and I follow his writings and if we didn’t have them we’d have a Church in turmoil. What I’m saying is that the gospels have at least equal weight to the writings of Paul and the life of the Savior is what we should be basing our life on.
Further and finally actually, Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.” ASV Jehovah had also spoken in his word of the new covenant. The prophet Jeremiah said this in the book of Jeremiah chapter 31 verses 31-34
“Surely, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, because they broke My covenant, although I was a husband to them, says the Lord. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law within them and write it in their hearts;and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. They shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, “Know the Lord,” for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. MEV
 
This scripture is repeated in the book of Hebrews chapter 8 verses 7-11 by Paul, I believe. The thought that I would leave you with is that in Christ we are freed from sin should we choose to lay to rest the old fleshly nature and surrender to the Holy Spirit that he might reveal Christ in us. But sin exists because of the law. In fact it is the breaking of the law that creates sin. So if sin and it’s defeat is important to us we need to know the law. For we a no longer bound by sin because in Christ Jesus and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we can fulfill the law and overcome sin.
The Holy Bible is on book my friends and you need to read and understand it. All of it.
