Double Predestination is the Logical Conclusion of the Election of God.

I’m not listing every section of scripture from the Bible where God chooses, a person, people, or place. I’m simply citing some of those sections to demonstrate an overwhelming testimony to God’s sovereign will in eternity, as well as our temporal world of space-time. People get hung up on predestination, and the logical conclusion of double predestination. I think it is because they think too highly of themselves, and their worth, while thinking too lowly of God, and His. People want to judge God for electing some to eternal life, while others are logically destined to be reprobate, and to suffer the eternal dying of death. This notion eats at them due to pride, self-righteousness, and man-centered thinking. They believe everyone deserves a choice, because they believe that we are made for our own purposes. They may not say it, but that is the prideful preconception that founds that type of entitlement. So, they say, “I won’t worship a God like that!” They can try to judge God. They can live like He isn’t Who He is. They can rebel, but in the end… God will be their judge. He will use them for His glory by demonstrating His justice by them. They will get what they have earned. I rather have mercy than justice. Let’s recognize that we are God’s creatures, made for His glory. He gets to decide how He will use us. He gets to decide how He will rescue some of us. If it doesn’t seem fair to you, it is because you think you are your own. God is good. What He chooses to do in eternity, and in temporal existence is completely up to Him. Since He has given us an existence in space-time, and a mind/spirit with a volition, we exercise it, but we never upset His eternal plan. Our choices are subordinate, and known to God before we were ever created.

Genesis 12:1-9
1 And Yahweh said to Abram,
“Go forth from your land,
And from your kin
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
2 And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
3 And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
4 So Abram went forth as Yahweh had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 So Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, and the persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go forth to the land of Canaan; thus they came to the land of Canaan. 6 And Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 Then Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “To your seed I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to Yahweh who had appeared to him. 8 Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to Yahweh and called upon the name of Yahweh. 9 And Abram journeyed on, continuing toward the Negev.

Genesis 17:1-14
1 Now it happened that when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am God Almighty;
Walk before Me and be blameless,
2 so that I may confirm My covenant between Me and you,
And that I may multiply you exceedingly.”
3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,
4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 And no longer shall your name be called Abram,
But your name shall be Abraham;
For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will go forth from you. 7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your seed after you. 8 And I will give to you and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
9 God said further to Abraham, “Now as for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations. 10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you: every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. 12 And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, one who is born in the house or one who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your seed. 13 A servant who is born in your house or who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised; thus shall My covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 But an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

Deuteronomy 7:6-8
6 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for His own treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
7 “Yahweh did not set His affection on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but because Yahweh loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your fathers, Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 14:2
2 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for His treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Psalms 33:12
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

Psalms 135:4
4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His treasured possession.

Isaiah 43:10-13
10 “You are My witnesses,” declares Yahweh,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and believe Me
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no god formed,
And there will be none after Me.
11 I, even I, am Yahweh,
And there is no savior besides Me.
12 It is I who have declared and saved and caused it to be heard,
And there was no strange god among you;
So you are My witnesses,” declares Yahweh,
“And I am God.
13 Even from eternity I am He,
And there is none who can deliver out of My hand;
I act and who can reverse it?”

Isaiah 44:1-5
1 “But now hear, O Jacob, My servant,
And Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus says Yahweh who made you
And formed you from the womb, who will help you,
‘Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,
And you Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour out water on the thirsty ground
And streams on the dry land;
I will pour out My Spirit on your seed
And My blessing on your offspring;
4 And they will spring up among the grass
Like poplars by streams of water.’
5 This one will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s’;
And this one will call on the name of Jacob;
And this one will write on his hand, ‘Belonging to Yahweh,’
And will name Israel’s name with honor.

Jeremiah 1:5
5 “Before I formed you in the innermost parts I knew you,
And before you came out from the womb I set you apart;
I have given you as a prophet to the nations.”

John 15:16
16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would abide, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

Galatians 3:15-29
15 Brothers, I speak in human terms: even though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. 16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And TO YOUR SEED,” that is, Christ. 17 And what I am saying is this: the Law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to abolish the promise. 18 For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise, but God has granted it to Abraham through promise.
19 Why the Law then? It was added because of trespasses, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. 20 Now a mediator is not for one person only, whereas God is one. 21 Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed be by law. 22 But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, we were held in custody under the Law, being shut up for the coming faith to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor unto Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.

Romans 2:28-29
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

Matthew 3:9
9 and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.

1 Peter 2:6-10
6 For this is contained in Scripture:
“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone,
AND HE WHO BELIEVES UPON HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME.”
7 This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
“THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED,
THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone,”
8 and,
“A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE.”
They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this stumbling they were also appointed.
9 But you are A CHOSEN FAMILY, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

Romans 9:12-26
12 it was said to her, “THE OLDER SHALL SERVE THE YOUNGER.” 13 Just as it is written, “JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there any unrighteousness with God? May it never be! 15 For He says to Moses, “I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.” 16 So then it does not depend on the one who wills or the one who runs, but on God who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND IN ORDER THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH.” 18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?” 20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? WILL THE THING MOLDED SAY TO THE MOLDER, “WHY DID YOU MAKE ME LIKE THIS”? 21 Or does not the potter have authority over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 And what if God, wanting to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath having been prepared for destruction, 23 and in order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles? 25 As He says also in Hosea,
“I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, ‘MY PEOPLE,’
AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, ‘BELOVED.’”
26 “AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, ‘YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,’
THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.”

Revelation 13:8
8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.

Revelation 19:11-16
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sits on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; having a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself, 13 and being clothed with a garment dipped in blood, His name is also called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may STRIKE DOWN THE NATIONS, and He will RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; and HE TREADS THE WINE PRESS OF THE WRATH OF THE RAGE OF GOD, the Almighty. 16 And He has on His garment and on His thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

The values of a culture determine the value of that culture.

We can see this when we compare some cultures. For instance, let’s compare Christian culture, thug culture, Islamic culture, and secular culture. Of course, Christianity gave us the Renaissance, and all of the modern human flourishing we’ve ever experienced. It gave us the truths that founded our civilization, and made us greater than any other civilization that has been, all to extol the glory of God. You can argue against that, but if you do, it is because you live in a fantasy land, and have no firm foundation, or ability to perceive, and recognize truth, as you are lost, and dead in your sins.

Thug culture’s values are drug abuse, selling drugs, sexual immorality, assaults, murders, rapes, and on, and on. Pretty much the opposite of godly living. They don’t seek the glory of the one true God, nor His will, or holiness. No, they seek their own glory, and satisfaction of all their fleshly lusts.

Islamic culture seeks the death of everyone who will not convert to Islam. For those who do convert, it is a totalitarian system of, “do, and do not.” There is no mercy, or grace from Allah. It is a religion of hate, and revenge. All you need to do to see this, is objectively look around the world at the islamic nations. I don’t care to argue with you. Go back to your desert god whose prophet was a child molester, rapist, and murderer. Jesus is none of those things.

Not to be left out is secularism, which may be more pernicious than all the others. Since secularism denies deity entirely, they have no solid basis for moral good, or evil. Everything is permissible to them, except anyone who tells them they are wrong. They will promote the murder of babies in the womb, out of the womb, the murder of someone who is very ill, the murder of someone with situational depression, the murder of the elderly, and on, and on. They hate humanity, and love human suffering, and death, because they are of the father satan. They value every sin known to mankind. Every perversion is a virtue to them. Again, you can argue, but you are wrong. You’ve been given over to a debased mind, and your reasoning is debased, and foolishness.

If you want to have a valuable culture again, change your culture, by repenting of your sins, and trusting in Christ’s atoning work on the cross to justify you to God. There is no other way! Salvation is found solely in Jesus Christ! If you read His word, and believe it, your mind will become conformed to it. Your thinking in your spirit, will begin to walk it, and live it out! Your values will become conformed to what God says is valuable. This is the way, not all the pragmatic, worldly posturing, and virtue signaling! Repent, and believe!!!

Mass Shootings. Who is to Blame?

It seems like the world is employing the bogeyman of, “mental health issues” to all the mass shootings. We know where this leads. It leads to a removal of responsibility for the crime from the shooter, and places it on society, their families, or some other external source. Modern psychology is an offshoot of Puritan Christians practice of, “soul care.” Which in Greek the word soul is, “ψυχή” or transliterated as , “psuchē” or psyche for those of you who don’t know what an upsilon is. They practiced Biblical counseling, also known as nouthetic counseling. The practice involved listening to the problems, determining which sin, or sins, the person was in, and assigning them study from the Bible so they can read for themselves the word of God that would correct them. They would then be faced with a choice, admit their sin, repent, and try to do what they ought, or deny their sins, and refuse to repent, while making their troubles worse.

That is a very, “nut-shelled” explanation. This process usually never went longer than 12 weeks. If it had, the person wasn’t being genuine. Later men like Freud, and Jung came along, and secularized the practice. They removed every effective aspect of the practice, including the acknowledgment of personal sin, and guilt, repentance, and making amends. They shifted the blame to something external from the person. They believed the problem wasn’t sin, because they didn’t believe in such a thing. They thought the problem was the shame, and guilt a person felt. They sought to remove the impact of shame, and guilt. By the way, when the Holy Spirit convicts you of some sin, you should feel godly sorrow over it. This is why we have so many people who go to therapy for years, and always come up with some new disorder to continue going for.

The real problem is our sin. We raise children without the fear of God. We raise them in ignorance of His word. We raise them understanding a set of laws, but no idea of what grace is. We raise them to hate what is called good, and to have super egos. We raise them without teaching that each human life has value, and dignity, being made in the image of God. We raise them thinking that they have all the power in the world, and that the world is theirs. We raise them thinking they are the pinnacle of some intellect-free evolutionary force. Of course they see themselves as superior. Of course they see all of creation as being for them. The creation is for God’s glory. Their lives are not for them, but for God’s glory. You are not your own, but you belong to God, as His creature. He created you for His purpose! It isn’t our right to murder other people. They are God’s, just like you are God’s.

So here we are. The bogeyman of psychological problems. Seems legitimate. Until you look a bit deeper. Who will they blame? Society. Who needs to change? Society. Who is society? Collectively, we are. So it isn’t the shooter’s sin. It is ours. That kind of thinking leads to sweeping gun legislation, and a complete destruction of the country, and the left knows it. Granted, there are a lot of useful idiots out there who emote their way through these issues, rather than employing critical thinking. They are the ones who will be manipulated because of their insatiable need to be virtuous, not realizing they are doing the devil’s work.

What is the answer? Go back! Repent! We need to go back to God. We need to go back to revering Him, His Word, and Christ. We need to teach our children the gospel, and the entire Bible. We need to pray for our nation, and leaders. Pray that God will convert the slaves of satan in our government. Pray that if they are not to be converted, that God will remove them from power. Before any of this, get down on your knees, confess your sins, and ask God to forgive you. Be as good a parent as you know how to be. We’ll never be completely right here, and now. That will have to wait for glory, but we can take care of the mess in front of us, if God wills it.

The Original Snow White Fairy Tale.

The dwarfs find Snow White asleep

In the Grimm’s Snow White fairy tale, she is taken out to the forest at 7 years old. The huntsman has mercy on her, and lets her go. He kills a wild pig, and brings it’s heart back as proof to the queen/stepmother/witch. She has it salted, and cooked, and eats it, believing it to be the heart of Snow White… That’s one sick woman. Anyhow, after three attempts on her life, she finally gets her with the poison apple. Some years have passed. The prince doesn’t awaken her with a kiss.

He sees her, asks the dwarfs for her because he can’t go on without seeing her beauty everyday. Keep in mind, she is supposed to be dead, and perfectly preserved in a glass coffin at this point. He has his men carry the coffin back to his kingdom. On the way they stumble, and the poison bit of apple is dislodged from her throat, and she wakes up wondering where she is, and what is happening. The prince explains, proclaims his love, and they get married. They invite the stepmother/queen/witch to the wedding. They confront her. They have a pair of iron shoes heated in a fire until they are glowing hot, put them on her, and make her dance at their wedding until she drops down dead. Happy ending kids!!! Instead of this, Disney made the classic that was watered down. Now they want to make one that is a feminazi dream, that includes all types of perversion. They keep digging their hole deeper. Who still watches their movies?

Is God the Author of Moral Evil?

I recently kicked a guy out of the group for writing that James White, and Calvinists, believe that God is the author of moral evil. (In a nutshell.) He was being very simple minded, and ignorant, as well as insulting. He was acting as if only Calvinists have been concerned with theodicy. The concept of moral evil, and the theological study of it is called, “Theodicy.” It isn’t just a Calvinist thing. People of all monotheistic religions have had to wrestle with this idea. You, as a Christian have probably briefly thought about it, but decided it was above your pay-grade, and simply trusted in the goodness of God. This is not a fault, so to speak. It is the default position until you are ready to deal with this idea, as one who is mature in the Faith.

Let me set the argument up. God is sovereign. He is omniscient. He is omnipotent. We accept these truths. If those things are true about God, and babies are still molested, and killed, then God must be responsible because, He knew it was going to happen, He has the power to stop it, and in His sovereignty did not intervene. At this point, most people shut down. We have to stare into the difficult things if we are to boldly share our faith, because this topic will come up when you argue with an atheist. It is the whole, “If God is good, why all the human suffering?” argument.

If you don’t know the terms; Sovereign- God is ruler of all He has created. Omniscient- God knows all that can be known, and He knows it perfectly, as He is the source of all knowledge. Omnipotence- God is all powerful. He alone upholds the creation by the power of His Word. If He willed it, you would simply cease existing.

Also, consider that moral evil, and human suffering are not the same. Human suffering isn’t necessarily directly caused by individual sin. For instance, you are told you have cancer, and are going to die a painful death. You may not have committed a sin that lead directly to this, but you are a sinner, and as a sinner are destined to die. The Bible is clear that suffering is God’s providence for our sanctification. Moral evil is the breaking of God’s laws, and violation of His character, by individual’s committing cosmic treason. They are His creatures, yet He has provided in His will for them to commit treason against Him as their Sovereign Lord.

Now, considering those ideas, look at the argument again. If God is all of those things, how can moral evil occur? Sure, we can understand why human suffering happens. We are all under the curse of God, due to the original sin of Adam. Well would you look at that? How was Adam able to sin? It is true that Adam, and Eve were the only two people who were created by God with a volition that was not enslaved to sin. Everyone after them, except for the second Adam, Jesus Christ, has been born as a slave to sin. If you answer this question, you’ll be able to answer all the other questions about moral evil, and why God has provided for it in His eternal, sovereign plan, that is also informed by all of His other attributes.

God owns everything He has created, even you, even an infant. How many people did God kill in the flood? Did He kill little children in the flood? Was it a death of suffering? Was it morally evil for God to kill babies in the flood? The way you answer these questions is telling. If you say that God was not morally evil for the killing of the infants, and their suffering death, you have to explain how that is. Most people say that it is because the world was so wicked, they deserved it, “but what about the innocent babies people will cry?”

By now, you should be able to see where I’m going with this. Since before God created anything, or anyone, He was always going to create just as He did. Remember, you can’t understand eternity, and you can’t understand God’s ways. You are just a small little speck of cosmic dust, floating around on courses you did not set for yourself. You may be self-deceived, and think you are setting your course, and are the master of your own destiny, and temporally you are, but eternally you are not. Still crying that I won’t consider the two categories in the flawed way you want me to? I don’t care. You are wrong. So now to it. God owns you. He owns the babies. He owns the criminals. He owns the murderers. He owns Satan. Satan is His creature. None of His creatures are omniscient, omnipotent, or sovereign! God’s plan will run its course, exactly as He intends. You are not yours. You are not for your own purposes. You are for God’s intended purposes. No matter how bad you suffer, and no matter at whose hands it happens, you cannot say that God has wronged you, or done evil to you. You are born in sin, in sin your mother conceived you. You are by nature a child of Adam, and must die! You can die, and rise in Christ, or you can die, and suffer the second death, and Hell. Do you believe that God is truly good, and has a purpose for every suffering moment of His creation, or do you believe that He is not in control of that suffering, and has no purpose for it in His creation? I for one, won’t question the validity of God’s sovereign volition in the causes of human suffering, and moral evil. God uses Satan for His own purposes, just like He uses our sins, for His own ends as well. Yes, you read that right! Stop trying to make yourself God’s judge in the matters of human sin, volition, and suffering! Does this make God the author of sin? Only if you haven’t understood a thing I just wrote, proving you are simple minded, and immature. You cannot judge the law giver, and Judge! We are subject to His laws. He is good, no matter what we think of how He has decided to run His creation.

After reading the long answer, here is the short answer. No, God is not the author of moral evil. Is it possible for us to understand how that is in light of what you just read? No, not fully, but yes, in part.

My Suggestion for Christians on Halloween.

Before you get too worked up, I’m not a legalist who has elevated October 31st to the level of a Primary Article of the Faith. Hopefully that puts to bed some suspicions of where I’m headed with this. Consequentially, all the legalists are now mad, and proclaiming that I am going to hell. You all can quit reading, and go back to slandering me online.

Here is a screenshot I took of my search results for, “Reformation Day kids costumes.” This is to prove, that theoretically, people do dress their kids up for this day. I know some of you think this is ludicrous, and that Christian parents should just let their kids dress up like scary demons from hell.

When I was a kid, way back in the 70’s and 80’s, the costumes were pretty tame. Most of us either wore a plastic super hero mask held to your head with a little elastic string, or our mom’s put make-up on us to turn us into hobos, mustached villains, or some other low-budget production. We could never afford masks. That was for the rich kids. So, we went as hobos, or cowboys. I contrast those days with our time, and how kids come to my door dressed in elaborate costumes that appear to be pretty expensive, and time demanding. I also compare our costumes themes, to the ones I see today. Nobody was scared by our costumes. Even the teenagers with the skeleton suites weren’t scary. Now I see kids, with their parents, come to my door wearing masks that rival Hollywood make-up before all the CGI animation. I’ve seen deformed monstrous faces, demons, blood drenched werewolves, zombies with gore hanging out of their mouths, all the while hearing little voices from inside the hideous masks echoing the nostalgic high pitched ultimatum of youth, “Trick, or treat!”

Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of princesses, cowboys, superheroes, and sheet-clad ghosts. Even in the scariest of visages, there is still the innocent desire for treats. (I’m not calling the little sinners innocent. Calm down Felicia.) Considering what I’ve just shared, I want you to think about an alternative to celebrating traditional Halloween. It is a traditional holiday on the same day as Halloween. It is called, “Reformation Day.” You can still dress your kids up. They can still get treats. Instead of celebrating scary demonic looking candy extortion, we can celebrate the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. This was a good thing, unless you are Roman Catholic. Then, well… You pretty much would rather people celebrate scary looking gargoyle statues on Churches, or something. That is one thing I never really got. Let’s put these scary sculptures on our Churches to keep the baddies away… I thought by the nature of God being Who He is, and the Church being His bride, we wouldn’t need scary sculptures… Back on topic! You could have your kids dress up like Monks, or maidens. You could do a Reformation Day celebration at your Church. We have soups, and breads. You could still hand out candy at your door, but also provide some gospel tracts. I like the ones from Living Waters. Here is one of their Halloween tracts. You could put a Bluetooth speaker outside, and have it stream a reading of Luther’s 95 Thesis in English. You could put a TV in the window, and have the audio on the outdoor speaker, while looping the, “Are you a good person?” cartoon gospel presentation. You can teach your kids about why the Reformation was so important in world, and Church history. This is also a good way to contrast how the world views Halloween, and how we view the world. Your kids will see the scary costumes. You have them dressed in costumes, but they are not demonic looking. You can show them the difference between worldviews. Teach them the virtues in the Christian worldview. They are old enough to understand more than you give them credit. You all are a pretty creative bunch. You can come up with some good ways to celebrate the day, and teach your kids good things, while not making them blind to how the world is.

By the way, ladies… We need to talk. You should never wear immodest costumes while escorting your little toddlers around the neighborhood on their quest for a sugar high. I’ve seen way too much, of way too many women who live in these parts. No naughty nurse costumes. No lady vampire costumes. No witch costumes. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves! I know the Christian moms are not doing this. You Christian moms need to tell your friends this is not a good thing for them to be doing.

Now, to the dads. You should not be walking your kids around the neighborhood with a beer attached to your finger in frat boy style. I’m not against having a beer, but you are supposed to be protecting your children on their quest, not simply tolerating the experience, and needing to self-medicate. Be present, and enjoy the time you have with them before they reach 12 and decide they hate you.

Alrighty then, rant over. Go out, and share the gospel of Jesus. Enjoy your life in Him. Enjoy your family.

White Nationalism, and Christian Nationalism Are Not The Same. Black Nationalism is, “Racist!”

I’m failing to see how Christian Nationalism is being conflated with White Nationalism. There seems to be some sort of mischaracterization going on in the minds of some. White Nationalism is the idea of having a nation comprised, and ruled, by a homogenous, monolithic, group of people with pale skin, from the ethnicities of Europe. Christian Nationalism, if I’m not mistaken, is the idea of having a nation comprised, and ruled, by Christians, and the Bible as the main authority. Nationalism is simply the idea that your nation is great, and you are proud of your culture, and values, as a nation, and want to promote its interests.

There is nothing inherently immoral, or wrong with nationalism contrary to what globalist communists would have you believe. Of course, it behooves them to denigrate any type of nationalism. They want to be global overlords who torture us all, and kill us. They appear benevolent, but are satanists. Some cultures values are more valuable than others. The globalists would say that I was wrong in the statement, but in so doing they are affirming my argument by extoling their values above mine. I have a Christian worldview, and my values come from my faith. Their values come from what they believe, and put faith in to trust. Of course, since it isn’t the God of the Bible, it is in some evil, fallen, anthropocentric ideology.

In the past, people were considered to be different races of humankind, but do to modern genetic research it has been determined that there is only one race of man. Duh! I’ve been saying this for a while. According to the Bible we have ethnos, (ἔθνος) translated as, “nations,” or “peoples,” and in the past some translations rendered it, “race.” These are groups of localized peoples in tribes, towns, villages, who developed their own distinct languages, and customs. They would adopt names for themselves that passed into common use historically. People would move between these places. Some people would be physically very disparate from the people they moved to live in community with. They would contribute their own distinct genes to the gene pool of that area, as well as some of their values, and practices. They would also adopt much of the predominate culture.

White Nationalism, is no different morally than Black Nationalism. If you didn’t know there was such a thing as, Black Nationalism, I’ll forgive you. The media never talks about it, even though it is just as prevalent in our culture. It is funny that when you look up, Black Nationalism on the internet, you’ll find definitions that are obviously promoting it as not racist ideology, but rather anti-racist. It is too hilarious. The hypocrisy of the leftist globalists is obvious, and disgusting. The true definition is the same as the definition for White Nationalism, just replace white with black. They attempt to make it sound so magnanimous, like it is some fight against colonialism. These people trying to start so-called race wars are the enemy.

Prejudice based on skin color is morally evil, although the modern race-baiters have made it feel right. Unfortunately, many people don’t think past skin deep generalizations. It is so much easier just to hate people than to get to the heart of the matter. There are even some Christians who have succumbed to the temptation to hate people based on their skin color. I know that after watching a bunch of X(Twitter) videos of POC’s doing racism, I often get angry, and want to hate people. As a Christian, I mortify that sin. This is part of the manipulation by our wannabe overlords. They run social media. They run the mainstream media. They want us to break down into camps, tribes, and hate each other. If we do that, we won’t see them behind the curtain pulling our strings. The machine can’t work if we don’t fall under their control. Fight the temptation to hate people.

This current misnomer of Christian Nationalism being the same as White Nationalism has to be squashed. I’ve heard, and read about too many people, including Christians, believing this error. If you happen to be one of them, consider yourself corrected. You can no longer claim ignorance in conflating the two. Also, don’t be fooled into thinking that Black Nationalism isn’t racists. It is. There is nothing wrong with Christian Nationalism. I happen to think it is an exceptional idea. I’m even fine with a Christian Monarchy. Afterall, Christ is our King!

The Song of Roland.

If you like mediaeval epic poetry, you should definitely read this, “The Song of Roland.” It was written around 1040 Anno Domini. It is about Roland, a heroic knight of King Emperor Charlemagne. There are gory battle scenes. Be prepared for that. More importantly it tells of a battle for Spain between the European Christian Emperor, and the Islamic invaders who had captured Spain. It portrays the muslims as the enemy of God. Which they are. It could be seen as a work of art to rally the people for the crusades. The schools maleducate the children into believing that we are the bad guys for waging the crusades. The first crusade was to liberate Jerusalem from the satanic mulsims who conquered it. The rest of the crusades were to liberate southern Europe from the muslims. They had invaded after the first crusade, and occupied southern Europe for approximately 800 years until they were finally driven out. They would tear down Churches, and build mosques over them. Now, the evil E.U. and globalists have waged another crusade against Europe by opening the borders to the foreign invaders. Now over 80% of boys born in England are given an islamic name.

Jimmy Fallon’s is A Plantation Slave.

Photograph: NBC/Rosalind

It appears that previously funnyman, Jimmy Fallon is in trouble with his Communist Comrades. He fails to understand that you can’t apologize enough to crazy leftists, because they are always angry. They only feel happy when they are being hateful. The expression of their hate, makes them feel virtuous, like they are morally superior. They know deep down inside they are going to hell. Someone needs to tell Jimmy, “It’s not too late. You can be funny again. You’ll need build an independent distribution via the internet like so many others have, but you can do it. Tom MacDonald for one, Jordan Peterson for another. Look at how Tucker is doing it. You don’t have to be a slave.”

In the environment of leftists government propaganda, like during the USSR, comedy dies. Nobody watches these shows for comedy anymore. They watch Big Brother’s face on another face, to have their hate validated. The only voice tolerated is that of Big Brother’s. Your voice is his voice. If you don’t say what he says, you are the enemy. There is no room for any variance. The only way to not be a slave, is to behave as a free man in broad daylight. Exercise your God given rights. Sure, we’ll get locked up by the feds, but we’ll spread our cause inside the prisons. These type of regimes always rise, and always fall. It may take a few hundred years, but they will fall. The best thing you can do is repent of your sins, and trust Christ for your salvation. Read His word. Study it. Become so grounded in it, that when they kill you for walking outside with your head up, and enjoying fresh air without a permit, you’ll know that when you step into eternity, it will be with Christ. Ask yourself, “Am I a slave too?”

Stephen Charnock, on Man’s Practical Atheism

“1. The rule of Satan is owned before the rule of God. The natural man would rather be under the guidance of Satan than the yoke of his Creator. Adam chose him to be his governor in Paradise. No sooner had Satan spoke of God in a way of derision (Gen. 3:1, 5), “Yea, hath God said,” but man follows his counsel and approves of the scoff; and the greatest part of his posterity have not been wiser by his fall, but would rather ramble in the devil’s wilderness, than to stay in God’s fold. It is by the sin of man that the devil is become the god of the world, as if men were the electors of him to the government; sin is an election of him for a lord, and a putting the soul under his government. Those that live according to the course of the world, and are loth to displease it, are under the government of the prince of it. The greatest part of the works done in the world is to enlarge the kingdom of Satan. For how many ages were the laws whereby the greatest part of the world was governed in the affairs of religion, the fruits of his usurpation and policy? When temples were erected to him, priests consecrated to his service; the rites used in most of the worship of the world were either of his own coining, or the misapplying the rites God had ordained to himself, under the notion of a God: whence the apostle calls all idolatrous feasts the table of devils, the cup of devils, sacrifice to devils, fellowship with devils; devils being the real object of the pagan worship, though not formally intended by the worshipper; though in some parts of the Indies, the direct and peculiar worship is to the devil, that he might not hurt them. And though the intention of others was to offer to God, and not the devil, yet since the action was contrary to the will of God, he regards it as a sacrifice to devils. It was not the intention of Jeroboam to establish priests to the devil, when he consecrated them to the service of his calves, for Jehu afterwards calls them “the servants of the Lord” (2 Kings 10:23), “See if there be here none of the servants of the Lord,” to distinguish them from the servants of Baal; signifying that the true God was worshipped under those images, and not Baal, nor any of the gods of the heathens; yet the Scripture couples the calves and devils together, and ascribes the worship given to one to be given to the other: “He ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made;” so that they were sacrifices to devils, notwithstanding the intention of Jeroboam and his subjects that had set them up and worshipped them, because they were contrary to the mind of God, and agreeable to the doctrine and mind of Satan, though the object of their worship in their own intention were not the devil, but some deified man or some canonized saint. The intention makes not a good action; if so, when men kill the best servants of God with a design to do God service, as our Saviour foretells, the action would not be murder; yet who can call it otherwise, since God is wronged in the persons of his servants? Since most of the worship of the world, which men’s corrupt natures incline them to, is false and different from the revealed will of God, it is a practical acknowledgment of the devil, as the governor, by acknowledging and practising those doctrines, which have not the stamp of divine revelation upon them, but were minted by Satan to depress the honor of God in the world. It doth concern men, then, to take good heed, that in their acts of worship they have a divine rule; otherwise it is an owning the devil as the rule: for there is no medium; whatsoever is not from God, is from Satan. But to bring this closer to us, and consider that which is more common among us: men that are in a natural condition, and wedded to their lusts, are under the paternal government of Satan (John 8:44): “Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.” If we divide sin into spiritual and carnal, which division comprehends all, the devil’s authority is owned in both; in spiritual, we conform to his example, because those he commits; in carnal, we obey his will, because those he directs: he acts the one, and sets us a copy; he tempts to the other, and gives us a kind of a precept. Thus man by nature being a willing servant of sin, is more desirous to be bound in the devil’s iron chain, than in God’s silken cords. What greater atheism can there be, than to use God as if he were inferior to the devil? to take the part of his greatest enemy, who drew all others into the faction against him? to pleasure Satan by offending God, and gratify our adversary with the injury of our Creator? For a subject to take arms against his prince with the deadliest enemy both himself and prince hath in the whole world, adds a greater blackness to the rebellion.”
