Was there killing of innocent people in New Testament times across the globe? We have evidence that people in the highest offices in Israel were likely to use violence to intimidate and silence witnesses. The camera was rolling when Paul appeared for a hearing on charges of defiling the temple. The charge was false. The court’s hostiity was real. Hatred, fear and ignorance are tragic leads to homicide. They represent the failure of the human heart. Contrary to popular opinion the heart is capable of both extreme depravity and exceeding goodness.

The idea that men can be left without an absolute guiding light to choose the high ground has not been corroborated by history. Some may bring their arguments about freedoms and perfect revelations but the record of abuses by religious groups and their leaders is convincing.

How many times does God forgive your sin?

Most will eventually admit he keeps doing so as long as this life lasts, but there is that lunatic fringe that is brainwashed to publish their own profiles as a sinless people, sinless because they are obedient.

Heart trouble we cannot avoid

The functional problem at Sinai was that no Israelite was in possession of a heart with which he or she could walk uprightly. People with new hearts do not love God and at the same time call their neighbours common or unclean.  Some hearts were made channels of divine love but none were made new until Christ was raised from the dead. The problem today is that people say they are saved from sin by Christ’s sacrifice and now need the law in their hearts like one needs a condom. The scenario is perfectly Galatian.

2) This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3) Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Galatians 3:2-3

The only people who need salvation are sinners, and the followers of Christ need forgiveness daily. The people who deny that they are sinners and do not need forgiveness are liars.

When God saves a person from sin there is no disposal prerequisite. There is a slogan from the self-saving crew proposing that God does not save people in their sins but saves people from their sins.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

Romans 4:5

It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

1 Timothy 1:15

God saves sinners, not people who have rid themselves of their sins. God justifies the ungodly, not people who have a narrative of how they have participated in their justification.

More failed hearts than we can count

There are more failed hearts than we have been able to identify and differentiate from renewed hearts (not that any of us actually the latter as a job). If the prayer Yeshua taught his disciples is off the agenda then the failed heart belongs to the person who confesses faith in Christ, wants his compliance with the Law to count as salvation, and his discrimination against outsiders as holiness.

The host asks,  “did Trump tell the people to peacefully and patriotically march to down to the Capitol and make their voices heard or did he tell them to go cause an insurrection?”

“Peaceful patriots” shows an idiot’s wit

People can believe whatever they choose but half-baked experts like the hosts of many chat groups touting White Evangelical political rubbush should be exposed. That opening paragraph is an example of what is happening in the dark Christian web. One strategically placed sentence with the words “peacefully” and “patriotically” can fool the simpletons. Who on the planet does not know that patriots kill their neighbours who do not agree with them?

Host explains

Am (sic) just trying to find out if we are still interested facts and evidence or if the sky is really falling into a social justice mindset.

Host leads towards Republican talking points

So, how about the evidence: The riot was planned in advance, the FBI knew and others knew about,  even your fake news CNN, Don Lemon, acknowledged it was planned.

One of the arguments made today and factually so, there was no due process in the impeachment trial.

But does (sic) really matter? The Left is morally and ethically sound, while the right is evil and racist.

The host, in this case, happens to be a history buff, a professor in a diploma mill of which I have some familiarity.  The host, semi-literate and completely Alex in Wonderland, is a boy I now know to be a sycophant, who could not separate an interview for ordination from a group recitation, plunges on with theories about western civilization, and little evidence of a relationship with the Risen Christ.

This export is a sample of what the idolatrous deniers of the evil of the African slave trade are engaged in. Among them we have many supporters of prostitution of the Christian faith in the service of White empire.

Cowards and revolutionaries

The host has shown he knows how to enlist people to follow bottom-feeders. The entire process is designed to bamboozle people with sensationalism and sheer ignorance (such as healing in the atonement, miracles from the commemorative Lord’s Supper, the terror of losing one’s salvation, and necromancy).  The few who get inspired to pursue a theological education get shortchanged with degrees that contain very little (every subject is an overview) of the substance of biblical theology and even less of Christian theology. They are too cowardly to jump into the pool with real revolutionaries like Mark,  Peter,  Paul, Luke,  and John.  The now disgraced 45 did not have the guts to march with his followers to the Capitol, and he also has spent 0 hours in service to the American people, but he wants violent revolutionary change.  The Black preachers who reject the struggle of Black people should never open their mouths to support Marcus, Malcolm or Martin.  They and their White pals can sing Marley’s One Love with all their heart knowing full well that the late Haile Selassie (Marley’s hero) was a genuine Christian and one of the few reliable voices in the modern world. They have spent 0 hours with the Crucified.

The host “can’t understand how some Christians can support a political party that sees Christianity as a white supremacist/ oppressive religion”.

The silence of the White and Black church in Canada is support for racism. We can confidently report that encouraging misogyny and illiteracy are no part of a godly pattern.  No wise Christian will make a show of his political convictions. Have you listened to an American preacher recently? If Jesus is not an add-on to the end of their presentation he is the Santa Claus they refuse to name.

A blind eye on corruption

This host knows that people who cannot read should not be ordained to Christian ministry so he introduces English grammar to the curriculum to try to cover up the fact that dozens of illiterate persons have been ordained. This host, colleague of mine in what isnow clearly a certificate and diploma mill, and his cowardly friends reject the study of Greek and Hebrew.  They obviously prefer to spend their days circulating conservative tropes and bullying anyone who addresses the facts of politics and religion with Christ-centred views.

When a six course program hours gets cut in half and the vision bends towards quick and easy certification via Zoom we can be certain that educators are in the pig pen eating husks. It would not surprise me to find that he also pushes the King James translation as essential reading.

These people are snowflakes with no mind of their own rising on hot air.

The vast majority of people in North America know that crooked sheriffs, marshals,  judges, deceitful educators and politicians have not given up their views  of  where society should be heading.    Macdonald and Washington have given us starting points no one wants to repeat.  They have given us something to work on.  People know that war (even revolutionary or civil) and genocidal policies against First Nations are evils we want to avoid.  In subtle and overt ways people acknowledge that starting over is God’s way when things go awry, but wanting to redo a revolutionary war, or a nation-building covenant are signs that people have stopped thinking and the story can only be told as another episode of a dog’s enjoyment of his vomit.

No place to hide

17) Terror and pit and snare confront you, O inhabitant of the earth. 18) Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit, And he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.

Isaiah 24:17-18

Would you believe that capitalism sunk the boat of the kingdom of Judah and that xenophobia is a popular and universal waste of human energy?

A nation of immigrants will never accept all cultures because some are shaped by distasteful practices.  Ancient traditions are not good because people have followed them for thousands of years. They need  to be subjected to the scrutiny of impartial minds – a Herculean task in the new alternate truth environment. Nations and families need wise corrections not laws written in stone. 

Nations and families need wise corrections not laws written in stone.

Since people in the United States cannot agree on what a 200 year old constitution says it must be obvious that agreement on interpreting laws that are thousands of years old will be equally unachievable.

Let us make sure we understand the turmoil unfolding in the winter of 2021.  White men who have never admitted that the bloodshed of the American Civil War was over the evil enslavement of Black people are trying to say White people have been oppressed and it is now White people’s turn to be liberated. 

Any way one slices the loaf a lot of White people, especially evangelical Christians, do not want to be humans.  They think they are some kind of new Israel-Judah,

The windows and the foundations

From above and below, as Isaiah says, distress of mind and  clings to the foolish bags of hot air trying keep the quagmire of empire and superiority alive. The fact of people calling themselves Judeo-Christian is proof that conservative views are regurgitated pipedreams. There is no such thing as a second chance in the levitical system; one strike and you are out, veen though that is not God’s way. There is nothing Judeo or Christian about murdering elected representatives of the people in order to satisfy the egos of a wicked businessman and a host of slogan slinging religious people. Assassinations and capital punishment are rejects in the march of civilized peoples, They and sinless Christians are vomit, because it takes sinless people to administer death sentences.

If anything violent breaks out in March the co-conspirators this time will include thousands of religious leaders in Canada and around the world now engaged in circulating vicious lies and promoting illiteracy in their chat groups and zoom conferences. Talk about dinner eaten twice!

We often observe human ingenuity and courage most clearly in places where the need is.  All the nations that have preserved their independence and the very identity of their branch of the hunan family deserve medals, but unlike many of the pundits and bandits of public information I know there is one gold medal entity among the states of our times. Texas is indeed fabulous for its industrious people, its innovation in public safety, and its readiness to secede as well as claim national pride in the Union, but global history assures us that giants of every measure break.

Superpower safety and political

Under a winter storm – a thing that all of Canada faces every year – the strawmen behind Texan public safety, politician accountability and solidarity with the citizens show up in high definition.

When the mighty, like Texas, tumble in this way there is little to expect from the threats of redoing the revolutionary war beside the breaking of the rebels.

If a snake did not slither we would pinch ourselves, but when the shards of a broken giant are on the floor we can be certain the buck stops with those who indulge the delusions of a criminal head of state and, perhaps increasingly, the Republican Party.
