How Can I Know God?

How to Know God?
How Can I Know God?
By Yourself: No! In Christ: Yes!

John begins his revealing of the vision received from Christ via a heavenly messenger, angel, by acknowledging Christ as the Faithful Witness above all other qualities. At first blush one may assume that Christ is faithfully transmitting the revelation He received from the Father and is giving to John. However, it is this type of narrowly focused thinking that gets readers confused when reading the Revelation of Christ. My mind wandered back to John’s Gospel, which I had studied a couple of years ago, and I realized that there was a much larger concept at work in this passage that transcended this apocalyptic revealing of Revelation. Indeed, it lay at the foundation of the Bible and the question of this post. Continue reading “How Can I Know God?” →

“All men created equal” from a Deist? Really!

Men Created Equal Deist Propaganda

“All men created equal,” from a Deist? Really!
From a Man Who Hated Christ’s Atonement!

As America comes upon another July 4th Independence holiday, propagandists of all ilks trot out their trite and true talking points to persuade YOU how and what to think. Americans have been so propagandized into their founding myths that they strongly reject any interdiction of truth lest they have to reshape their entire worldview. For example, according to Alexander Del Mar the American colonist’s revolution against Great Britain had little to do with liberty and nearly everything to do with revolt against their central bank: Bank of England {“New” World Order Criminal Bankers Caused the American Revolution. Best Evidence. Youtube.}. However, you do not get people to risk their lives for your money; therefore, you have to convince them to risk their lives for their supposed issue which you then define for them. Hence, the goal of all propagandists. Are you angry yet? Continue reading ““All men created equal” from a Deist? Really!” →

Good and Bad of a Vernacular Bible

by LeeS, posted in Discernment

 

Many Christians do not read the
Bible in their native language

Many people are intimidated by the size and apparent complexity of the Bible. They are content to sit in the pew and let the professionals, pastors, tell them what the Bible says. However, God holds each person accountable for their own knowledge and practice. Do you really want to stand before God giving an account based on what the pastor said?

Blockchain Technology Validates Biblical Reliability

Biblical Reliability and Validation relies on
Thousands of independent manuscripts

Through the ages, but especially in modern times, people have scoffed at the idea that the Bible is reliable because there are so many various manuscripts, parts or wholes, that are not exactly alike. Their common retort is, “How can the Bible be God’s word when there is no single definitive written source?” Their argument appears plausible until one begins to understand the problem of a single source document. In fact, secure financial transactions are beginning to use this same approach to safeguard their data, your financial records!

What Are Perilous Times?

by LeeS, posted in Discernment, Gospel

Bible speaks of Perilous Times
But What Does it Mean and When?

Surely, we must be living in “perilous times” and “last days” when violence is in every headline! The Christian should turn to the Bible to learn the meaning of these terms; however, the discerning Christians will look behind the vernacular language to understand what the original language meant when it used these terms.

Evolutionary Morality an Oxymoron

by LeeS, posted in Atheism, Discernment, Indoctrination, Philosophy, Politics

If Morality Arose from Humanity
Then Humanity Defines Morality

This is an example of circular reasoning, an informal logical fallacy. The conclusion arises from the cause and the cause defines the conclusion; the problem, one has not made a case for the conclusion based on provable premises. Unfortunately, this logical error occurs all too frequently in discussions, especially in the media where time is of the essence so various stereotypical images or types are substituted as proof for one’s forced dilemma conclusion (yes, another logical fallacy).

Police Protect and Serve Whom?

by LeeS, posted in Global Governance, Gnosticism, Philosophy, Politics

The Police Motto: To Protect and Serve:
Citizens Believes it applies to them

Ever since the days of Dragnet and Adam-12 the American public has been led to believe that the police have a duty to protect them. These television shows were designed to rehabilitate the image of the Los Angeles Police Department which had been scandalized by corruption, ineptitude and unsolved high-profile cases. The department gladly cherry-picked cases that were “dramatized” (recreated to make the police appear impartial, fair-minded, and ready to sacrifice themselves to protect you, the individual citizen.

Law: We Love to Hate It!

Man Both Love and Hate the Law

Ever since Cain went to the land of wanderers to become their leader he found himself forced to develop a system of laws (society) to ensure survival of the city he had built (Ge 4:16-17). Herein is the contradiction; Cain who had murdered his brother in violation of God’s admonition to control himself (Ge 4:6-7) now found it necessary to develop a system of laws so that other people who had rejected God could be prevented from murdering each other Continue reading “Law: We Love to Hate It!” →

Why LGBT Promotes Hate

Honor Mother and Father

Anatomy of the Fifth Precept
Honor Your Mother and Father
The Strength of any Nation

The LGBT community seeks to break down the Fifth Precept, you may know it as the Fifth Commandment, to fundamentally change the world; they are succeeding. I must make this very clear, whipping some Bible verses will not work because they hate the Bible. In fact, all lost people hate the Bible. Continue reading “Why LGBT Promotes Hate” →

Indoctrination or Training the Youth

Stop Religious Indoctrination Develops "Fee" Thinkers
Stopping Religious Indoctrination
Develops “Fee” Thinkers

The statement of this graphic is as much indoctrination as the indoctrination that the statement condemns.  Yet, even more than that, it contains a self-defeating logical fallacy that is so common today as to be ignored. The reason we will look at indoctrination over the next several posts is because the political season is upon us and full of charges and counter-charges of indoctrination rather than a reasoned discussion of the issues to seek well grounded solutions.
