Insult to injury

Canada’s parliament cannot be dragged into a law and order hut built entirely on Israel’s questionable morality, caricature of democracy, and  commitment to the maintenance of a racist regime.   Morality was always on the table, and Conservative politicians are not going to be trusted to follow the lead of the United States in vetoing international attempts, at the United Nations, to fix the injury to the human family in the creation of the Zionist state and to ignore the decades of Israeli terror and lawlessness. 

Jerk off theology

In full mirage mode the best some people can come up with is obedience to the law of God and obedience to the laws of men except when they clash.  Tell that to a second century Jew and bring that proposition to a twenty-first century American and the response will be the same.  “You are out of your mind”.   People with vision and heart have been called crazy and demented so maybe you are in good company.  Except for the Love talk coming from Christians  one cannot help notice that modern Christianity defies everything that lay at the core of the Messianic mission.  Every jerk has his theology.

Put some interpretation into the application of light

Not only are modern Christians defying what Christ himself did, they actually redefine the pillars of the church’s welfare, and the interests of those who are Kingdom bound.  In general, the church has melted secular policies into the church’s mission, and to be specific,  the church has not kept Christ as the center of all its thoughts and deeds.  Translations into the many languages of our planet are of particular concern because the vast majority of readers do not realize that translators do not prioritize the interpretation of apostolic speech.  Translators seem to focus on readability and tradition.  Translators are, but most readers are not, aware that simple terms like good,  holiness and gift, are not monolithic.   They are derived from different words in the original languages.  Translators are not careful to relate to the reader every nuance in every verse, and that is why we have pastors.  People getting up in church and telling us what they believe, and people testifying about favors they have received from God, is not edification in the word of God, because education in the word of God means familiarity with the intent of the writers of the Bible, and translations often do not cut it.

No quick thrill in the sermons

“For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the ENCOURAGEMENT of the Scriptures we might have hope.” (Romans 15:4, NASB)

If the goal of preaching and teaching was to connect people to a miracle trail, to a solving of daily and common problems, the world would not have needed a savior like Yeshua.  People would do quite well with a profit like Moses or Isaiah.  The COMFORT of scripture is not that our tears get wiped away or we get a good feeling;  the COMFORT of the scriptures is help, ENCOURAGEMENT, of the sort rendered only by the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.

Hamas automobiles will top the market

Japan and Germany, both defeated militarily, rose to fame by manufacturing great automobiles that have topped the markets in the United States repeatedly.  Perhaps God will spin the record of the vanquished experiencing victory again for the benefit of twenty-first century skeptics.  Maybe Netanyahu of Israel and his pure-bred countrymen will wake up to the undisputed fact of sinner Gentiles incorporated into Zion’s progress.  It is beyond explanation that wiping out the enemy has never worked for Israel or its predecessor, Judah.  The condition and status of Temple Mount can hardly be explained without admitting that ethnic cleansing is a despicable strategy.

What can stop the military giant from falling to a mere lad?

Are Palestinians and Israelis any more legit than the unclean animals crowded into God ark for salvation? Might any young boy or girl who survived the cleansing of their village in the 14th century BC or the sale  of  their ancestors pledge to annihilate the perceived oppressors of his people and be denied forever?  There is a rumour that Palestinian merchandise will be hits in the Holy Land to prove that Abraham’s family from all over the globe cannot be stopped.

Grift, graft, and the vital veto

Millions are pretending not to see the genocidal, demoniac, racist and inhumane campaign that the newsmakers are engaging in.  Who are the newsmakers?  The Qataris are the heroes today, exposing the newsmakers as desperately wicked humans, true to the ancient prophetic dictum. 

6) For a fool speaks nonsense, and his heart inclines toward wickedness: to practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord, to keep the hungry person unsatisfied and to withhold drink from the thirsty. 7) As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; he devises wicked schemes to destroy the afflicted with slander, even though the needy one speaks what is right.

Isaiah 32:6-7

The United States, Britain, France, and Russia knew from the start that Israel’s occupation was illegal.  They knew its government would be based on fascism, racist alliances, and bigotry.  They knew that the right to self-defence was (and is) a right incumbent on the Palestinian people.  They have conveniently forgotten that the land of Canaan has seen its share of terrorism and imperial rape.  American politicians also have known that the State of Israel has had little regard for human life.  Moscow and Beijing are only too happy to use their veto to oppose the United States.  It does not matter to them that the legitimate agenda of the United Nations in support of the Palestinians has been blocked too often by superpower machinations.  The only reason we can think of is that they cannot bring themselves to commit to supporting Muslim populations. They knew that Israel’s attempt to eradicate Hamas would necessitate criminal dimensions, but they all are pinned to the wall of self interest and opportunities for arms sales. The corruption that has kept the Palestinians in abject poverty and distress is the result of looking the other way while talking about security as a right that belongs exclusively to Israelis.

Great nations with criminal records

Nations have become more brazen than ever with their oppressive policies and international alliances. we are not deceived by the righteous talk of those who are living by the sword and who put on an outrage show when the sword comes knocking on their doors.  There are no principles that unite the nations to do the right thing for others.  So let them end their talk about their sovereign territories and supreme rights as long as their neighbours have neither.
