A Review of, “Karl Marx, And The Satanic Roots Of Communism” by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand.

Bob Snyder2 Comments

I’ve been alive long enough to have come to the conclusions that Marxism/Communism is satanic. I arrived at this conclusion due to the fact that Communism does not allow for a power more authoritative than the dictator, state, or politburo. Communism rejects the truth that God has created every man equally human, with all that entails, even their human rights. Under Communism the politburo is more than equal, and subjugates everyone else underneath them. You have no God given rights under the satanic system of Communism. I was curious what Wurmbrand’s insights would be. He experienced the literal torture of Communism first hand during the Communist revolution in his homeland Romania. He and his wife, were thrown into a gulag/prison work camp for 14 years. He was tortured on a daily basis. Eventually he, and his wife were released. They were never the same after that. Wurmbrand studied the writings, and correspondence, of Marx, and other prominent Communists after his release. Like I mentioned above, I understood that Communism was satanic, but I had no idea how fundamental satanism is to Communism, and those who fought to impose it.

I assumed Marx was a satanist ignorantly so by what he stood against, and was simply a fool seeking an impossible goal, and that he was willing to kill as many people as it took to achieve it. I was wrong. Marx was a satanist first. Communism was just a means to an end for him, and those like him. This book made that abundantly clear. Wurmbrand uses many citations from Marx, and his contemporaries. Some of the things these men wrote are so blasphemous, I had to skim through them as they afflicted my conscience sorely. I would warn you that this could also be your experience reading this book, but I find it necessary to know how blatantly satanic Communism, and Marx’s writings are.

Marx wrote, “I wish to avenge myself from the One who rules above.”

Here is an excerpt from the book,

“Let us remember that Marx’s ideal was to descend into the abyss of hell and draw all mankind in after him. Let us not follow him on this vicious path, but rather follow Jesus Christ who leads us upward to peaks of light, wisdom, and love, toward a heaven of unspeakable glory.”

This excerpt was at the end of the book recalling a citation from one of Marx’s writings. He wanted to have as many people die without hearing the gospel. He said something to the effect that he would go into hell laughing after them. Lenin, and Stalin, were also monsters. I encourage you to read this book, and share it with friends in the Church who are tempted to lean into socialism, communism, and warn them strongly.

I am glad to say that the gospel is shared towards the end of the book, so if you do share this book with someone who is curious, they will also get the gospel message. I hope you will take the short time this148 pages require to be forewarned.

We Told You So!

Bob Snyder2 Comments

I put this article up back in 2016 just after the country accepted, “gay marriage” in 2015 after the Obergefell v. Hodges decision. There are articles that don’t age well, as time proves the original premise of the article wrong, but this one was not one of them. Christians have been arguing for a long time that marriage is between a man, and a woman. This is straight from God’s word. It is a non-negotiable. To call the relationship of homosexuals, “marriage” is sin. To agree that they have the same right as a natural man, and woman, to marry is a sin. Marriage is not a thing for the state to define, or control. Marriage has always, and will always be, a covenant between husband, wife, and God. He has only ordained marriage this way. Everything else is worldly sin, and perversion.
There were several things that happened before 2015 that sped this all along. When perverts were considered part of a legally protected minority group, it opened the door to include them as minorities in general. The reason I want you to think in the terms of perversion rather than gay, and lesbian, is so you can see the cause, and effect. Many people were fine with the idea of, “gay marriage” but they were not fine with pedophilia, bestiality, or necrophilia. If you had mentioned those perversions as being part of the minority group, they would have had a strong negative response. This isn’t how it was presented to the American people. They were shown images of properly dressed, gays and lesbians, crying because they didn’t have the same rights as straight people. This was complete satanic manipulation, and it worked. It worked because people are Biblically ignorant, and unconverted.
In 2020 the Supreme court decision of Bostock v. Clayton County forced us to accept perversion as a protected minority class according to title 9. Title 7 also is being applied to perverts. It was originally to protect women from being discriminated against in the workplace. You can see how they equated sexual immorality to being female. The legal groundwork has been being set up by the enemy for years now, but hardly anyone was forward thinking enough to see where this was going. There were people like me out there telling everyone what a horrible mistake it is, but nobody listened. The enemies of God, the globalist politicians, and appointed officials, who were all in league with satan, knew exactly what they were doing, and they gleefully did it. The mindless masses shouted, “love is love!” The ignorant, inane, middle went along for the ride, not being able to coalesce a single reasonable objection with their sin addled minds. While the Church was eating itself seemingly from the inside with liberal christianity, (which is not Christian at all) protesting in like worldly fashion with their satanic comrades.
With the foundational work in place, the satanic politicians, and activist judges struck! Gay marriage was the nose of the camel under the tent for all the pedophilic atrocities we see being perpetrated against our youth now. You want to know why they are transitioning the kids? Because you all let gays steal marriage for their own perversion! Your idiotic sympathy for sin brought this on us as a nation. This and your holocaust against the unborn! Your whoring around with adultery, and premarital sex! Your acceptance of widespread pornographic websites! Your unrepentant, sin loving, evil hearts have brought this on our heads. Like Jeremiah, and Habakkuk, true Christians have been warning you, and now we are lamenting, because God is not going to start judging us some time in the future. The judgment has already begun! Go read Romans 1, Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Habakkuk! You can see God’s character, and what He will do. We won’t get away with what we are currently doing. God will punish us by giving us over to even more sin. Our guilt will be compounded, and so great, that on the day of God’s wrath, nobody will be able to rightly say, “We didn’t deserve this! Your wrath is unjust, and too great!” That doesn’t mean they won’t say it. It means they can’t rightly say it.
While there is time, REPENT OF YOUR SINS, AND TRUST JESUS!!! READ, AND STUDY HIS WORD. COME TO KNOW HIM. You aren’t promised tomorrow! If you die in your sins, you will be in hell for eternity. There is no maybe about this. It is a certainty. If you die in Christ you can be with Him for eternity, living life eternal, and enjoying Him for ever.

Let’s be civil.

Bob SnyderLeave a comment

Let’s be civil, and act as mature people in Christ while dealing with the lost. Remember, the people who have modern leftists ideals are not your enemy. It is the power behind them, pulling their strings. That is why our Lord, and His apostles, when they were killed, could ask God to forgive their murderers, due to their ignorance. We are dealing with a group of people who are unable to recognize truth, reason, love, and who are enslaved to sin, their master. They are children of their father, satan. According to Romans 1, their minds are debased, and unable to reason. Pray for the miracle of regeneration to happen to them, that they would be born again, and that they would repent of their sins, and trust solely in Jesus’ work on the cross for their justification.

Socialism/Communism are anti-Christ.

Bob Snyder3 Comments


Socialism/Communism are anti-Christ.  Wherever they have been, they have either completely criminalized faith in Christ, or have severely persecuted the Church to the point of forcing them to pervert their faiths, or hide them altogether.  There can be no free expression of faith in the one true God of the Bible under those man/satan-centered systems.  The State is the highest authority.  They can have no other gods besides the State.  Don’t they know that Christ must not be held under any authority except that of the Father.  No government should ever attempt to subjugate Him or His Church!

For all of you young secular millennials, remember, what you do to us one day, someone could do to you the next.  God is just, and you will pay for your sins in Hell, where He will pour out His wrath on you for all eternity, if you don’t repent and put your faith in Him.  No government is the answer, except the eternal King’s government!  Bow your knee to Him now and hail Him as King, Lord of all, Jesus the Christ, who was crucified and raised from the dead, who rules on high, and will judge the quick and the dead!

Communism destroys human life.  It kills image bearers of God.  It robs God and perverts what He has made.  It is satanic!  Here is an excerpt from an article on how many HUMAN BEINGS have been killed by communism.

“Communist regimes killed 60 million in the 20th century through genocide, according to Le Monde, more than 100 million people[2] according to The Black Book of Communism (Courtois, Stéphane, et al., 1997).[3] and according to Cleon Skousen[4] in his best-selling book The Naked Communist.[5]

It is estimated that in the past 100 years, governments under the banner of atheistic communism have caused the death of somewhere between 40,472,000 and 259,432,000 human lives.[6] Dr. R. J. Rummel, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Hawaii, is the scholar who first coined the term democide (death by government). Dr. R. J. Rummel’s mid estimate regarding the loss of life due to communism is that communism caused the death of approximately 110,286,000 people between 1917 and 1987.[7]”  If you want to review the sources cited by the author the wiki link is here.  He listed his source material.  Here is another short little article on how great of a killer communism is.

Ask this question, “Where in the world does the most horrendous human rights violations happen?”  Answer, where there is rule by Communism/socialism, Islam, or atheism.  Human flourishing happens most and best under Christian rule.  Capitalism, when done by Christians is far better than any other method of running economies.

Snowed in, with a bad back, and an inauguration to watch.

Bob SnyderLeave a comment

If-we-ever-forget-that-we-are-one-nation
The last few days have been interesting. So much snow, that my gas furnace and on demand water heater both had their roof-top exhausts covered completely with snow. I didn’t want frozen pipes or a frozen house, so I had to get the exhausts cleared and call some professionals to get the over 3 ft. of accumulated snow off my roof. Thanks Arturo Martinez for all your hard work. If anyone needs some snow removed from their roof, message me and I’ll send you his number. The next morning of fun was realizing the pets could not go outside to do their business. I began to dig them a patch of ground out and wrenched my back. It gave me time to ponder deep topics like, “Will it get better or worse? Will I be able to get to work Monday? How many ibuprofen have I already taken?” One thing is for sure, is that the will of God will be done. This brings me to the inauguration. 4 and 8 years ago, I trusted in the will of God when the pro-abortion, (a.k.a. baby killing) perversion promoting, (LGBT nonsense) Barry Soetoro a.k.a. (Barack Obama) took office and kept it. Even while I wondered how people could condone the evils of perversion, (LGBT) perverse marriage, (Gay Marriage… no such thing) abortion, and socialist totalitarianism, I was comforted by the knowledge that God is sovereign and in control of all things, including the political leadership of this country. I honestly believe we were getting the leaders we deserved as an unrepentant people. We have been calling good evil and evil good for far too long to keep on experiencing the blessings of God. Instead, for 8 long years or corrosive evil leadership, we were under the discipline of God. I hope that the people have repented, and we will be experiencing a reprieve. God willing, may America be blessed once more. I would ask all of you to repent of your sin, put your faith in the finished work of Christ, and seek God’s glory and will first and foremost in the years to come.

Scared, Stay Safe? What in the World are they Scared of?

Bob SnyderLeave a comment

I’m sure many of you have seen the Facebook posts from your liberal friends and family.  You know the ones I’m talking about.  The ones that say, “Scared” or “Stay safe.”  What is it they are supposedly afraid of?  Do they actually think that conservatives are going to boldly go out and hunt them down?  Do they think that we are going to pass laws to take away the rights they share with us?  Nope, they aren’t afraid of anything.

It is insulting, passive aggressive, victim stance propaganda.  We need to handle it the same way we need to handle the other idiotic accusations these lost people make.  Think about how they operate.  They are intolerant.  They accuse us of being intolerant.  They are violent.  They accuse us of being violent.  They are racists they accuse us of being racist.  Do you see the pattern?  So when they say, “Scared” or, “Stay Safe” what they are really saying is that we are the ones who should be scared, and take measures to ensure our safety.

With that being said, pack your sidearms if you’ve got them.  You never know when you’ll run into a roadblock full of nice pacifists protestors who are going to yank you out of your car and beat you to death for just being white, or having a Christian bumper sticker.  Heaven forbid you were one of the millions of people who voted for Trump.  Then they will hunt you down, follow you back to your house, or your work, so they can break your windows and  loot your business.  They are so loving and tolerant…  if you are one of them.  If you are not, look out.

Just remember, the Bible says it will be your loved ones turning you over to the government to be martyred.  These lunatics actually think they are doing good.  Trump isn’t the person I would have lead our country, but I voted for him, because he was not as pro-abortion as Hillary.  So if that makes me a person they are afraid of, so be it.  Abortion is not a right, no matter what the supreme court says.  They invented that right in 1973 with Roe vs. Wade.  Our real rights are God given.  They aren’t created by courts.  I don’t expect any of these slaves of satan to understand that though.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
(Romans 1:18-32 NASB)

I Know Everyone is Preaching Unity, Love, and Acceptance, but…

Bob SnyderLeave a comment

lamb

When the Bible talks about unity, it is for unity among the believers.  When the Bible talks about loving your brother, it is talking about your brother in Christ.  When it talks about acceptance, it is not about accepting sin.

The enemies of the gospel, Christ, and the cross are our enemies as well.  They are the ones who are sold out to Satan.  They hate the gospel, they hate Jesus, they pervert scripture, and they hate His sheep.  These people are not the same as the lost who are living their lives in ignorance.  The lost, for the most part are just plain ignorant about God.  They don’t really care.  The enemies of the gospel are different.  They have made up their minds.  They hate God, His Word, and His gospel.  They also hate His followers and everything that He says is good.

They push every sinful agenda you can think of.  These agendas are part of a larger, “Death Culture” worldview.  They love every defilement of what God says is good.  Just to name a few things; atheism, gender perversion, gay marriage/defilement of marriage, fornication, adultery, liberalizing of the Church, drug use, and so on.  They love anyone who agrees with them and they hate anyone who disagrees.  They preach tolerance while being some of the most intolerant people in the world.

So in the wake of this election, I’d like to share a different perspective and line of advice.  I am not preaching love, tolerance, peace, unity, and acceptance solely for their own sake.  No, I’m preaching being in the world, but not of it.  I’m preaching, put on the full armor of God, pray for your enemies…  they are your enemies.  Don’t make the mistake of thinking they are simply your neighbors and coworkers.  These are the folks that the Bible says will turn you over to the authorities to be martyred, your sons and daughters.

Remember folks, this is a life of death war, eternal life is on the line.  We are to blame for turning our Church services into entertainment for goats.  Church is for the saved of God, to give glory to God!  We are to worship Him together with our brothers and sisters.  We are to go out and be the ones who deliver the uncomfortable truth!  You are sinners!  Repent and believe the gospel!  Hell is real!  Jesus is God!

I don’t care how many people are triggered.  I want to trigger them all!  They need to be shaken down to their cores!  I don’t care how many of them are scared!  They very well should be scared!  They are headed straight to Hell for all eternity!  We need to scare them!  How else can we love our enemies?  This is true love, to tell them the truth, to give them the gospel that can convert their hearts.  So, offend them, offend them all in the name of God!

Something from Habakkuk to Remember.

Bob Snyder1 Comment

habakkuk

Here is Habakkuk’s cry to God,

“Habakkuk 1:1-4 NASB The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw. (2) How long, O LORD, will I call for help, And You will not hear? I cry out to You, “Violence!” Yet You do not save. (3) Why do You make me see iniquity, And cause me to look on wickedness? Yes, destruction and violence are before me; Strife exists and contention arises. (4) Therefore the law is ignored And justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore justice comes out perverted.”

Notice, his cry to God could be our cry today in the midst of a godless, secular, America.  Now look at God’s reply,

“Habakkuk 1:5-11 NASB “Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days– You would not believe if you were told. (6) “For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, That fierce and impetuous people Who march throughout the earth To seize dwelling places which are not theirs. (7) “They are dreaded and feared; Their justice and authority originate with themselves. (8) “Their horses are swifter than leopards And keener than wolves in the evening. Their horsemen come galloping, Their horsemen come from afar; They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour. (9) “All of them come for violence. Their horde of faces moves forward. They collect captives like sand. (10) “They mock at kings And rulers are a laughing matter to them. They laugh at every fortress And heap up rubble to capture it. (11) “Then they will sweep through like the wind and pass on. But they will be held guilty, They whose strength is their god.”

Do you see what God was doing there?  He was giving the prophet Habakkuk His word that He is using the pagan Chaldeans for His purposes.  He was raising them up to use as judgment against His people.  Israel had rebelled and neglected God’s word as revealed through the prophets.  Make sure to read the last part of verse 11, “But they will be held guilty, They whose strength is their god.”  The Chaldeans were going to be held accountable by God in His justice.

Habakkuk’s reply to God,

“Habakkuk 1:12-17 NASB Are You not from everlasting, O LORD, my God, my Holy One? We will not die. You, O LORD, have appointed them to judge; And You, O Rock, have established them to correct. (13) Your eyes are too pure to approve evil, And You can not look on wickedness with favor. Why do You look with favor On those who deal treacherously? Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up Those more righteous than they? (14) Why have You made men like the fish of the sea, Like creeping things without a ruler over them? (15) The Chaldeans bring all of them up with a hook, Drag them away with their net, And gather them together in their fishing net. Therefore they rejoice and are glad. (16) Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net And burn incense to their fishing net; Because through these things their catch is large, And their food is plentiful. (17) Will they therefore empty their net And continually slay nations without sparing?”

At first it seems that Habakkuk understands why God is going to punish Israel, but then he goes on pleading with God.  His questions seem to call for God to not allow this to happen.  Sometimes we can be like that.  We live in a great land.  Many of us are like the Chaldeans.  We put our faith in the strength of our military, or our wealth.  We trust a nationalistic ideology called America.  We offer our sacrifices to it.  We neglect God and His word.  We rebel against Him.  We kill our young and call it a woman’s right to choose.  We make legal all types of perverse abominations and call it progress, and liberty.  Just because we legislate it and make it legal does not make it moral.  Just because a secular majority deems something to be good doesn’t make it so.

As Christians we have an external moral authority Who is immutable.  He never changes and is eternal.  His decrees of good and evil stand for ever, no matter what human government makes legal.  The political candidates we have to choose from, the debased minds that many of our fellow Americans have, the perversions that are abounding, are all punishments from God.  We are under judgement.  We need to be outside of our Churches, evangelizing so that people might be saved and come in.  We need to repent of our personal sins.  We need to repent of the attractional model of Church.  We need to stop begging goats to come in to our Churches.  We need to go out to them and preach the gospel of Jesus, which is repentance from sin and faith in Christ’s work on the cross.

When people are miraculously changed by God they will become sheep.  They  will come to Church without the need of the gimmicks of silly centers.  They will hunger for the preaching of God’s word, fellowship with brothers and sisters, praising God with hymns, prayer, and the glory of God will be their aim.  Don’t be bashful, now is not the time.  Be bold for Christ and His gospel to go forth!  Are you saddened by the damage and hurt you see being done by sin in the lives of your friends and neighbors?  Do you think that you love them?  If you do, then you must give to them the only cure for their brokenness.  You must give them the only thing that will heal them and make them whole!  Give them the gospel of Jesus!  It is truth and love!

So if you find yourself crying out to God much like Habakkuk did, ask yourself why God is doing what He is doing.  Ask yourself what the proper response is to what He is doing.  Then I think you will come to the same conclusion.

Trump Won’t Make America Great Again! We Need Repentance and God.

Bob SnyderLeave a comment


Trump won’t make our country great again. Tocqueville had it right when he said, “In the United States, the sovereign authority is religious…there is no country in the world where the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America, and there can be no greater proof of its utility and of its conformity to human nature than that its influence is powerfully felt over the most enlightened and free nation of the earth.

In the United States, the influence of religion is not confined to the manners, but it extends to the intelligence of the people…

Christianity, therefore, reigns without obstacle, by universal consent…

I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors…; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution.

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.

America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.

The safeguard of morality is religion, and morality is the best security of law as well as the surest pledge of freedom.

The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other

Christianity is the companion of liberty in all its conflicts — the cradle of its infancy, and the divine source of its claims.”

It is pretty clear what made us great was God.  Now we are a wicked nation in rebellion to God.  Then, we were a Christian nation devoted to God.  Preachers stopped preaching, the salt lost its saltiness, and the light faded away.  The cancer grew unimpeded and hidden from sight.  Now we are terminal.  It will take a miracle from God, not a politician or more government.
