How am I white? How is he black?

Have you ever had a D.N.A. analysis done? I had one done. I was surprised by the results. I was confident that I knew what ethnic groups I descended from. As it turns out, there was a lot more to it than what I had originally thought. Apparently, I descend from people as far north as Oslo, Norway, and as far south as Nigeria. I recently watched a video on the internet where a lady was anxiously awaiting her D.N.A. results to see what tribe she was from in Africa. She was very excited, but when she read the results, she began to cry as if she had been crushed. You see, she was over 60% European. Now, looking at her, you would think that her ethnic heritage would be mostly from the continent of Africa. Her skin was very dark. Her hair was kinky. Her eyes were dark brown. Her facial characteristics were largely similar to other people with her descendancy, but here’s the rub. Most people who the godless leftists would call, “black” are not what they superficially appear to be on the outside, and most people who they call, “white” are not what they have been labeled either.


This nonsense of Critical Race Theory, and intersectionality, are all the exact types of prejudice we sought to eradicate in this country during the civil rights movement, and we were largely successful. Why on Earth would we want to go back to categorizing, and judging people based on something as superficial, and meaningless, as their skin color? However, this is exactly what the left is insisting we do with the practice of, “anti-racism.” This buzzword, “anti-racism” doesn’t mean that we should simply disapprove of prejudice based on skin color. No, it requires that we actively try to punish, cancel, and brainwash anyone who doesn’t fall in lockstep with the radical leftists. They have created a term, “racism” to be the label they give a person to negate their arguments. This only works because many are afraid of being called a racist. They, “poison the well” by calling you a racist. To quote one of the proponents of this prejudiced ideology, “One is either racist or anti-racist. There is no room for neutrality, and there is no such thing as a “non-racist.” Racism scholar Ibram X. Kendi.


This is a logical fallacy, and people seem to be falling for it. The presupposition this statement is founded on is that you are either or. They present a false dilemma. While making an absolute statement they leave no room for any other option. According to Kendi, you are either a racist, or you are an anti-racist. As noted above, they also utilize the, “poisoning the well” fallacy by claiming that you are a racist. This way, other’s opinions of you, and your argument are affected before your debate even begins. The lost are at a disadvantage because they have been given over to debased minds, perversion, and they believe that they are wise. They also believe that they can hear, see, and know the truth, even though God says in His word that they are deaf, blind, and lost. To them, we are the fools, and the evil doers.


Just like all other sinful lies people have enthusiastically embraced, the notion of, “racism” as portrayed by the godless left leads individuals to believe that they are victims of other people, they see themselves as entitle to being treated a certain way, and it gives them feelings of justifiable anger, and hatred towards other individual humans, based on something as superficial, and meaningless, as the color of their skin. The only solution for hate in the heart, is to receive a new heart, with new affections, and desires. Do you know how to receive that new heart? If you confess your sins to God, and ask Him to forgive you, not based on your own goodness, which you do not have, Jesus said, “None are good, but God.” You must trust in the work that Jesus did on the cross to pay for your sins, and trust Him alone. When you repent of your sins, and trust the Savior, you’ll step from eternal death, and darkness, into eternal light, and life. God will give you a new heart, that desires, and thirsts for righteousness, and loves God’s word. Please, to destroy prejudice based on skin color in your own heart, repent of sin, and trust the Savior. Don’t buy into these worldly ideologies like critical race theory. It is simply the hatred of people with light color skin, based solely on their skin color.

Hate, Hate Speech, and Meaning.

Noah Webster
According to Webster’s dictionary hate speech is; speech expressing hatred of a particular group of people. Also, according to Webster’s dictionary hate means;

2: to have a strong aversion to : find very distasteful

Now, if you will, please read how Noah Webster defined hate himself in his 1828 dictionary, and remember, Webster was a devout Christian;
HATE, verb transitive [Latin odi, for hodi.]

1. To dislike greatly; to have a great aversion to. It expresses less than abhor, detest, and abominate, unless pronounced with a peculiar emphasis.

How long will fools hate knowledge? Proverbs 1:22.

Blessed are ye when men shall hate you. Luke 6:22.

The Roman tyrant was contented to be hated, if he was but feared.

2. In Scripture, it signifies to love less.

If any man come to me, and hate not father and mother, etc. Luke 14:26.

He that spareth the rod, hateth his son. Proverbs 13:24.

HATE, noun Great dislike or aversion; hatred.

Notice, the current meaning assumes that usually hatred comes from fear, anger, or sense of injury.  The word, “usually” does make it technically correct, but can you think of an instance where it is good to hate?  The modern secular world knows what is good to hate, and what is not good to hate, but they have reversed them.  As Christians, we should hate sin in our lives.  We should hate sin as a rule.  We should hate what God hates.  Since God is the ultimate good, we can trust that what He hates is in fact hate worthy.  The world around us on the other hand, hates what God loves.  In fact, they hate the one true God.  They make up for themselves idols to call god.  They lavish their love on those idols.  They love what is detestable to the Lord.

In a society with a bi-polar view of what is good, virtuous, and honorable, where one extreme looks upon the things of God in truth, and acknowledges those things, and the other extreme looks on those things believing the lies of their master, views them as evil, malicious, and hateful, as well as a plethora of people ranging the gamut between the two, it results in a disparate malfunctioning society.

Speech is simply speech.  It is the speaker who harbors hatred, or love in their heart.  Does the speaker hate what God hates?  Does the speaker hate what the godless hate?  This is the true question that should be asked.  Instead, we assume that speech can in and of itself be hateful.  If that be true, then speech is an entity with volition of thought.  If a man reasons with a debased, darkened mind, he might believe such a thing.  However, even a man with a debased, darkened mind, as a rule, and a majority, at this point in time, can see that this is fallacious.

If speech be speech, and hatred not necessarily evil, then why must such a seemingly subjective thing like speech be deemed hateful?  We do not know the condition of the speaker’s heart, nor do we know his intellectual intentions towards the objects of his speech.  The assumption that all speech that elicits negative emotions from the varied masses in audience is hateful, negates the obvious facts of ignorance to the subjects intentions thereof.

Since this is true, wouldn’t it be better to allow the subject, himself, to enlighten the audience in regards to his intentions, and motives, if there be a question?  Also, there is no material damage in relation to the subjects speech, unless it instructs such damage, by direct expunction carried out by the objects.  This is mitigated by the volitions of the objects assuming their faculties are about them, and that they are not otherwise given to some delirium induced by injury, or chemical.

Each agent is acting upon his own volition, informed by his own personal philosophy, through which he interprets the world around him.  If that philosophy finds its source in anything other than what is objectively true, it by definition contains lies.  This is why the God instructs us to build our house on the solid rock.  That rock being Jesus, the way the TRUTH, and the life.  To do otherwise is to found your house on that which is shifting always, the subjective cumulative consciences of lost agents of satan, whether they know it and intend it, or not.

I adjure you all, do not assume this notion of hate speech, or hate crimes for that matter.  Build your life on what is true.  God is true.  He cannot lie.  His word is true.  Jesus is the word made flesh.  I’m sure Webster would have concurred.   We must all repent of our sins, even those sins that at once we assumed were virtues, but in light of the truth see them as betrayals of our Creator.  He is the law giver, and the judge.  We are not.  His word is objective truth.  We must repent of our perversions of truth, and trust alone in the work of Christ Jesus for our justification to the righteous law giver, and judge.

I think Mr. Noah Webster would be horrified to see how the dictionary of his namesake has been corrupted by the enemy of truth.

Are Your Feelings Determining How You View God, Or Is God Determining How You Feel?


Are Your Feelings Determining How You View God, Or Is God Determining How You Feel?Are you acting like a child?  Are you following people who act like unreasoning beasts, and encourage others to do the same?  A child allows his emotions to rule him.  He is without discipline and only knows want.  A false teacher promotes what is against God.  He acts like an unreasoning beast, “But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,” (2 Peter 2:12 NASB)

Do you let your feelings determine how you view God, and treat others?  Love is a big deal.  People go on and on about feeling like they are in love, wanting to feel love.  People also feel other emotions like, hate, impatience, greed, jealousy, envy, apathy, and pride.  People desperately want others to validate their feelings, by agreeing with them.  When we allow feelings to determine how we treat others, and how we view God, we are behaving like children.  All they know is what they want.  Their wants are not informed by anything else, just their will alone.  As they get older, hopefully their parents discipline them, and train them.  If you are an adult, and your feelings rule you, then spiritually speaking, you are a sinful little child.  If you believe all of the self-help gurus out there, teaching you how to get in touch with your feelings, and how to be happy.  God tells us how we should feel about others, about situations, and He also tells us how we should feel about Him.  When we obey our feelings that are against what God commands in His word we are definitely in sin.  

Viewing God through any other lense than His word is creating an idol in your mind.  When you just go by your fallen, sinful, emotions, to build a picture of God, it will most certainly be a false god, not the one true God of the Bible.  If you find yourself disagreeing with long-held orthodox doctrines, in favor of your own personal interpretation, chances are you are worshipping a god of your own making.  Repent, and worship the God of the Bible.  Let your mind be informed by the word of God, so that the God you worship is the true one.

As Christians, we are not to behave, think, or feel like the world.  We are to obey God in all things.  So when God tells us to love our enemies, that is what we must do.  Love needs to be thought of as an action as well as a feeling.  All of the emotions must be thought of as actions as well as a feelings, because they move us to action.  Unless God changes your heart and mind, in regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit, you will not be able to think or feel rightly.  When you are truly born again, and you resist feeling the way your know you should or you indulge a feeling you know you shouldn’t, you are sinning.  Sinning this way is accepted by the world and encouraged.  We are not to be like the world.  

There are benefits to obeying God.  Yes, God gave us emotions, but they are under the effect of sin.  They are affected by the fall.  Knowing this, hopefully you can see how they need to be conformed to God’s will as expressed in His word?  Don’t reject the will of God, for your own childish feelings.  Bring your feelings into obedience to God.  You can do it with His help.  It will be a blessing to you and to all of the people you come in contact with.  God’s will is always better.  So next time you are feeling your way through life ask yourself if those feelings are sinful or are they in obedience to God?

They Hate Christians, Why?

The hate and vitriol, I’ve witnessed from liberals, and atheists has been some of the best supporting evidence that the God they hate is truly who He says He is in His word.  They deny Him so passionately, while leaving false religions alone.  They can see hundreds, thousands, no millions of murders committed  by Muslims, Communists, abortionists, and even justify eugenics, and euthanasia with Darwinian evolution,  without batting an eye.  They will even call it, “good.”  They don’t even have the ability to judge anything good or evil without an external moral authority like, oh… I don’t know, God!  Yet, let a Christian preach Christ and they want you locked up as hate criminal.

It has always made me wonder, why it is, that so many people hate Christianity, and God. It caused me to read the Bible more. The Bible, God’s word, makes it clear why they hate us. It isn’t because we are the most charitable and giving people on the Earth, and we are. It isn’t because we preach to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, and we do. It isn’t because we disrupt society with bombings, shootings, and decapitations, because we don’t.

 

It is simply because, people hate the thought that their idea of their own personal righteousness isn’t good enough. Not only is it not good enough, it is actually offensive to God. They hate the fact that, God Himself in the second personage of the Trinity, according to His sovereign, will, foreknowledge, and love, offered Himself, as a Holy sacrifice, to justify wretched sinners to Himself. The transcendent Holiness of God is so offensive to the self-righteous that they would kill him over and over again, throughout eternity if they could. They hate what He shows them about themselves.

The fact, that all have sinned and deserve death and hell. That none are good, not one. Friends, if you hate Christ, His cross, or His people, ask yourself today, “Why do I feel so strongly about this? What is it, really about them that I hate so much?” be honest, repent, and believe in the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross. Submit to Him and follow Him as your Lord, master, and Savior. You can be free of all of the hate that you’ve been harboring, you can have the burdensome load of bitterness, loathing, and guilt removed from you shoulders. Humbly come to Christ in repentance and faith. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

marriage

Don’t worry, you won’t have to perform gay marriages they said…

faimily

This is God’s ordained arrangement, one man, and one woman, together to make a family with children who are created in the image of God to be image bearers of God for His glory.  Not this abomination which is a perversion of God’s will and blasphemous.

lesbowedding

It should literally make you gag and want to upchuck.  It is not, “cute” or, “adorbs.”  It is not brave of them or courageous.  It is sad, sick, and should make us pity them.  They need the gospel.  They need to be saved from their sins and reconciled to God.

Meanwhile here in… Idaho!  One of the most conservative states in the Union…  Uh oh! Gay marriage or jail for you Pastor!!!

This is what the Left has planned for us.  Deep in their hearts they hate God and everyone who is for Him.  They are soft on their tyranny now, but wait, soon they will have us rounded up, executed, and buried in mass unmarked graves.

ges7

You say that kind of thing can’t happen…  Read your history.  Every immoral revolution has executed the people or dogs they claim were holding them back from evolving.  Instead of Jews it will be Christians who are to blame.

Just because it isn’t a “Church” and the couple make money off of performing a wedding, they are being compelled by the laws of Sodom and Gomorrah to do the will of the Whore of Babylon and the Beast. Next they’ll be telling us we have to prepare recipes for human baby stew for the satan worshipers if you own a restaurant.  Does anyone remember when the sight or thought of two men kissing was revolting?  How about two women doing the same?  It was revolting until the media started forcing on us.  Then two women became sexy instead of revolting.  People told me, “Don’t be such a prude!  It is hot.”  I remember telling everyone then that this is what would be happening.  Nobody cared or believed me.  Well, it is still revolting and disgusting.  God calls it and abomination.  It should cause our stomachs to turn, just like blasphemy should.  Those that give hearty approval to such things will also be cheering in the streets as we are drug away to death camps.

Hey and while we’re at it let’s make those evil Christians Pastors turn over their sermons to be scrutinized by the Gestapo for hate speech violations…  Welcome to the Peoples Democratic Republic of Soviet Secular Atheist Communist Anti-Christ Baby Killing Baal worshiping…  Revelation 6:10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”  So the answer to all of this is, repent and put your faith in Christ!  We are all wretched sinners and without the atoning work of Christ on the cross to accomplish that which all of our corrupt works could not, the  payment for sin’s debt.  Jesus paid it all, because He is our good God and we are totally dependent on Him.

Saudi Arabia: MERS cases reach more than 400, more than 100 dead

Saudi Arabia: MERS cases reach more than 400, more than 100 dead

This was one of the headlines from one of the articles on Reuters site for today 05/05/14. A particularly nasty virus from Saudi Arabia is killing one out of four people that get it. When some tragedy strikes Islamic countries and people some of us respond with joy. How is that Biblical? How is that at all different from the world? It isn’t. God says, “You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? “If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:43-48)

As Christians we might err and say among ourselves, “See, I knew that God would punish those Muslims for their evil ways!” I know I have heard people speak this way, but how are they behaving any differently than the Muslims they hate? It seems to me that we shouldn’t hate anyone. We can hate what they do, we can hate who their master is, and we can hate their satanic doctrines, but we mustn’t hate them. God said in His word, “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. “BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:14-21)

Hate proves we are not in the will of God and our hearts are hardened. We must consider ourselves the servants of all. We need to esteem ourselves as lower than others. Our sins put Christ on the cross. We know Jesus, they don’t. We don’t have any excuse for behaving like the world. We can’t be pragmatic like the Muslims of the communists. We operate on faith. We don’t solely rely on what we can see and prove. We have the word of God, and we must apply it to our lives. Faith is in stark contrast to pragmatism. It operates in direct conflict. We do things that don’t make sense to them. We need to be obedient to God. This is worship, to truly apply His word to our lives. So let us pray for them to be converted by God. Let them become our brothers and sisters in Christ. This world is suffering and the lost are a multitude of peoples. What hope have they, Except for the faithful to share the gospel and for Christ to save them.
