JESUS: THE MAN

   How many people think of Jesus as no more than a religious idol of Christianity?
   How many people think of Jesus as no more than an image of a man in paintings and photographs with an imaginary face from the imaginations of artists?
   How many people think of Jesus as no more than the baby of Christmas, represented by a ceramic or plastic Jesus under a green tree?
   How many people think of Jesus as depicted in paintings and photographs as a baby still in his mother's arms?
   And how many people think of Jesus as no more than a corpse on a crucifix, or as a good luck charm on a necklace?
   On the other hand, how many people never think of Jesus as a real person, or even a real man?
   At the same time, people believe that Mohammad of Islam was a real man. 
   People believe that the great thinkers of Greece, Socrates and Plato, were real men.
   People believe that the pharaohs of Egypt, Alexander the Great, and the ceasars of Rome were real men.
   But when the topic turns to people of the Bible, it is as if these people were not real humans.
   When you were a student in school, did you ever have history lessons about the kings of Israel?  These were real men, and their lives have had an impact on human history.  Why have these men been ignored by secular education?
   The genealogies of the Bible are true, and people today can trace their family trees through the names recorded in the Bible all the way back to Adam and Eve, at which time genealogies end.
   At the same time, Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, and Mary's image has also been captured in paintings and photographs from the imaginations of artists, and people believe that Mary was a real person.  Or was she?  Or do people think of Mary as never being a real person?  Or is she also no more than an image from the imaginations of people?
   Even the apostles of Christ have been canonized by the church of Rome and people pray to their souls as if they are gods and capable of answering prayer---while the bones of the apostles are still in the ground.  Were the apostles real people and not Christ?
  Where is Christ, then, in the midst of Christian idolatry?  Was it Christ who died for sin, or was it other people?  Was it Christ who arose from death, or was it other people?
   Jesus was a baby, a boy, and a man.  But if Jesus is not considered to have been a real person, walking on the earth, why are the people that surrounded his life been elevated above the name of Christ?
   Jesus was human.  Jesus had hunger and thirst.  Jesus got dirty, so he had to take baths and wash his clothes.  Jesus had human emotions, or feelings.  Jesus wept.  And on the cross, he experienced the agony of pain and suffering in his death by crucifixion. 
   In religious Christianity, however, people believe in the IMAGES of people of the Bible, yet they do not believe in the Bible.  The words of Jesus are not important to them.  They do not consider that Jesus had half brothers and half sisters, born to Mary and Joseph. The life of Christ is not included in their history lessons.  Their belief, therefore, is in their imaginations, which is from the imaginations of others.  For even their salvation is an imaginary salvation.  They are pious, they are proud, and they believe that it is their RELIGION that provides their way to heaven, and not Christ.
   For had it not been for the resurrection of Christ, we would have never heard of Jesus of Nazareth.  We would have never heard about the apostles and disciples of Christ.  The New Testament would have never been written.  Churches would have never been established all over the world.  And religious Christianity, filled with the images of idols, would have never been created from the imaginations of men.
       I am the LORD thy God.
      Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
      Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
      Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:  for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and four generation of them that hate me;
      And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
                                                                             (Exodus 20: 2-6)
   
  
  

SECRET SOCIETIES

   We are surrounded by and live within a world system that is controlled by men of secret societies.
   The world system we presently see with our eyes has been manufactured by men of secret societies, so that the things that appear are designed to grab the focus of people on the things of this world in order to divert their attention away from God.
   Men of secret societies control governments worldwide.
   Men of secret societies control religions worldwide.
   Men of secret societies control militaries worldwide.
   Men of secret societies control the world's supply of money, money cartels, banks, financial institutions, corporations, insurance companies, and interest rates.  They also control the gold and silver.
   Men of secret societies control drug cartels, human trafficking cartels, the traffick of children for sex and prostitution, and they control pornography.
   Men of secret societies control all genres of music worldwide, including control of the musicians, singers, and song writers.
   Men of secret societies control Hollywood, movies, and movie stars.
   Men of secret societies control television, television programming, television stars, television news, and television advertising.
   Men of secret societies control professional sports and college sports as well as the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.
   Men of secret societies control cyberspace, the internet, and telephones.
   Men of secret societies control the Mafia, crime families, and street gangs and gangsters.
   Men of secret societies control terrorism and terrorist organizations worldwide.
   Men of secret societies control gambling casinos worldwide.
   Men of secret societies control police departments and intelligence agencies worldwide.
   Many Christian churches and Christian organizations are controlled by men of secret societies.
   Many Christian preachers, pastors, and minsters are controlled by men of secret societies, and many of them are also members of secret societies.
   Men of secret societies control nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, and electricity.
   Men of secret societies control the world's transportation systems on land, sea, and in the air.
      Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:  the Lord shall have them in derision. (Psalm 2: 1-4)
   The men of secret societies are the kings of the earth.  They are the most wicked of the wicked, for there is no evil they will not do in order to achieve their goal to control the world, to enslave every person in every nation.  They instigate wars, they kill innocent people, they have the whole world hooked on drugs, hooked on music, hooked on sex, hooked on pornography, and hooked on religion.  They will even assassinate members of their own secret societies to accomplish their wicked ways.
   Men of secret societies that appear are not necessarily as they appear to be. They adorn their bodies with fancy suits and priestly garments, and they are highly educated and filthy rich---doing their best to appear as good and honest on the outside, but inwardly they are ravening beasts:  for they are the servants of Satan.
   In the latter days, they will remove their masks and turn their faces around.
   Meanwhile, men of secret societies are engaged in a secret war against Christ and against Christians, and, of course, they do not want the world to know about their secret agenda; therefore, they divert the attention of the world by talking about climate change, global warming, peace in the Middle East, disarming citizens in nations, and the economy---while keeping television news cameras focused on themselves and their smiling faces. 

OXYMORONS

   OXYMORON:  a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in "cruel kindness", "make haste slowly", or "brutal honesty".
   An atheist is a person who disbelieves in the existence of God or gods.
   Is it therefore safe to say that an atheist is an oxymoron?   For how does a person convince others that something that does not exist does not exist?
   Atheists want people to believe that atheism is not a religion, but why did they create the First Church of Atheism in Langhorne, Pennsylvania?
   Their doctrine is as follows:
      "Nothing exists besides natural phenomena.  Thought is merely a function of those natural phenomena.  Death is complete, and irreversible.  We have faith solely in humankind, nature, and the facts of science."
   The First Church of Atheism has legally ordained ministers to perform their ceremonies, such as weddings, funerals, and commitments.  Any person who desires to be an ordained minister can be ordained for life, without cost, and without question.  Ordained ministers can launch their own churches and build their own congregations.
   The First Church of Atheism meets on Sundays, and they also have "Sunday School" for adults and "Sunday School" for children.
   But is it also safe to say that people of all religions are oxymorons?
   For if a person's faith is in his or her church, or in his or her religion, where is God?
   Do not people of religious Christianity also believe in idols, in gods and goddesses, whose images are captured in statues, portraits, and photographs, and in the belief that dead people can become gods? 
   Do not people of religious Christianity believe that certain men of the earth are as gods, sinless, and filled with the power to forgive sin?  Does this not indicate that their faith is in people of the earth and not in God?
   Where is Christ in religious Christianity?  Why is an image of Christ captured on a crucifix as a dead corpse?  Do not people of religious Christianity believe that Christ arose from death?  Do they not believe that Christ will return as in the Second Coming of Christ?  They say they are Christians, but is their faith actually in their religion and not in Christ? 
   For if we examine the life of Christ in the Bible, we will see that Jesus never came to earth to launch a new religion, nor to build a congregation that would kneel to idols, or images of gods, nor to seek certain men to forgive sin.  Neither did Jesus ever suggest that people should pray to the souls of dead people as if they are gods.
   So, then, who is the oxymoron? 
   Is it the atheist who wants people to believe that something that does not exist does not exist? 
   Or is the oxymoron a religious Christian, who wears the cloak of Christianity, but his or her faith is in a religious system and not in Christ alone?
   The atheist clings to his church of atheism and the religious Christian clings his church of religion.
   For it was Christ who was crucified for sin, and not religion.
      Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.  (2nd Corinthians 6: 17-18)

WATCH THE BIRDIE!

   The leaders of governments and religions do not love us, and they do not even like us!
   To them, we are no more than workers in the field, providing tax revenues and offerings that enable them to live rich and lavish lifestyles---while leading us to believe that they honestly care for us:  and that we should take care of them by giving generously and unselfishly as they struggle for us and for our children as they give of their lives as sacrificial civil servants and ministers of governments and religions.
   To them, we are no more than slaves.
   To them, we are expendable. 
   Television is the teleprompter of the ruling elite, which the leaders of the world have used as a tool of MIND CONTROL for more than sixty years.
   Watch the birdie!
   Watch television and be informed.
   Watch television and be entertained.
   Watch movies and sports, cartoons and game shows and forget about your pain, your troubles and your woes.
   Watch the movie stars dance and prance in front of our eyes and say, "Wow!"
   Watch the stars of sports dazzle us with their performances in the arenas and say, "Wow!"
   Watch the politicians and religious leaders as they smooth their hair, adjust their robes, and watch the birdie---looking as serious and as pious as they know how to act on platforms, stages, and pulpits, for they know they are on television.
    I was sixteen years old when President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, and for several days thereafter people wept on the streets of America and coast to coast.  As shocked and stunned as we were, we watched it all on television.   Over the past 52 years, however, I have not seen a president, politician, priest, or pope weeping in public places.  It is as if their eye sockets are as dry as desert sand.  Even today, when was the last time you saw a world leader weeping?
   With the death of  Mr. Kennedy, the ruling elite realized the power of television as they also realized the power they had at their fingertips.  Television added more channels, expanded to twenty-four hours a day, and, with the inventions of satellites and cable, television became available in any nation and in any language worldwide.
   Let us not focus entirely on television, but let us focus on the power that is behind television:  for there is an invisible power that operates throughout the world in which we live and throughout all of the systems within this world, which the ruling elite use to control and dominate our minds so that we will watch the birdie and follow them.
   That invisible power is none other than Satan, the prince of darkness, the prince of the power of the air, and the god of this world, who is the governor over all of the world's systems, primarily politics and religions:  for the devil has been using politics and religion to control people for thousands of years, so why not continue to use them now?
   The ruling elite are under the control and domination of this invisible power of Satan, and, for this reason, their desire is to control us and to bring us under the dominion of the devil.   They are his ministers, his servants, and even his prophets:  for they speak about a future that does not include God, a future that does not include the Lord Jesus Christ, and a future that does not include the return of Christ, but rather a future of a false messiah as the head of a superficial new world order.
   Watch the birdie!
   Watch the men in fancy suits and priestly garments.
   They are not for us because they are against us.
   They control the world's money and the world's food supply, which prompts people to trust in them, to believe in them, for they use control as a method to produce fear.
   They do not love us, for they do not even like us. 
   So then, what should we do?
        "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes:  fear the LORD, and depart from evil."  (Proverbs 3: 5-7)
  

  
  
  

NEGLECTED

   And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.  (1st Corinthians 2: 4-5)
   Perhaps we have spent too much time teaching people how to look good in church.
   How to comb our hair, trim our nails, and put a little polish on the shoes.
   How to sit up properly and pay attention.
   How to stand, how to kneel, how to pray, and how to fold our hands and say "Amen".
   Perhaps we have spent too much time teaching people how to behave themselves when they should learn to stop acting like toddlers at home.
   Perhaps we have spent too much time bragging about the buildings we have made with padded pews, carpeted floors, and dangling chandeliers.  And don't forget the stained-glass windows, central air-conditioning, and the state-of-the-air security system.  We built it with our own hands and with our own money.  How does it look?
   Perhaps we have spent too much time teaching kids how to play basketball in the church gym, baseball and softball on the church athletic field, and taking them to summer camps to get to know the Lord a little bit better in the wilderness experience of cabins, arts and crafts, swimming pools, and horseback riding.
   Perhaps we have spent too much time in the fellowship buildings, serving coffee and donuts, and talking about football, baseball, and the money we save by shopping on Black Friday.
   Perhaps we have spent too much time in our devotion to rites, to rituals, to traditions, and following an order of worship to a T.  Start on time, end on time, and leave the building on time.
   Perhaps we have spent too much time dividing families from families:  by separating husbands and wives in different rooms, by sending children downstairs to different rooms, by sending young adults and teenagers to different rooms, yet keeping single adults mixed together in the same room.  But would there be anything wrong with keeping families together in worship of the Lord?
   How in the world can people learn about the Lord when we have created so many distractions?
   Today, is there much difference between churches and country clubs?
   Some churches require an application for membership, which must be approved by a board of elders (including a background investigation) before being accepted---or denied.
   Country clubs do the same.
   Country clubs have country club etiquette.
   Churches have church etiquette. 
   Country clubs have money.
   So do churches.
   A church in Honolulu is planning to spend $20.5 million to buy a golf course and club house for its growing congregation.
   A church in Utah is desiring to buy a golf driving range for an undisclosed amount of cash.
   A church in Michigan purchased a golf course in 2007 for $2.5 million, which it is now trying to sell with a $1.8 million debt.
   If Christ is not the centerpiece of church and our worship, what is? 
   Or whom?
   Perhaps we have spent too much money in barber shops and beauty salons while converting churches to entertainment theaters, athletic facilities, daycare centers, and architectural masterpieces of workmanship.
   Is church about God, or is church about us?
   We spend our time where we spend our money.
   Perhaps we have spent too much time ignoring the Word of the Lord.  And because we have ignored the teaching and the preaching of the Holy Bible in churches, perhaps God is ignoring us. 
   If we do not have time for God, why should God spend time with us?
   If our nation does not have time for God, why should God have time for our nation?
      My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:  because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me:  seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.  (Hosea 4: 6)
   If Christ is not important for adults, then Christ must not be important for children.

  
  
  

PROPHETS OF SATAN

    The leaders of the world are united and engaged in an activity that even they do not understand.
    CERN has the power to blow a hole through the earth, but, more this, CERN has the power to destroy the universe if it is released at its fullest strength.
    When they speak of a New World Order, they are speaking about an entirely new world---a world that will be not be governed by men of politics and religion, but a world that will governed by creatures that are not from this world!
    The men of government and religion are prophets of this new world order.  They are speaking for a god that is from the abyss, and they want people of the earth to believe that this new world order will be a New Atlantis, or a New Utopia, or even heavenly.
    The men of government and religion are prophets of Satan.
    Jesus said,
         Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (Matthew 7: 15)

THE KING OF THE WORLD

   Every dictator in human history has had the power to mesmerize the minds of people.  People like them, they trust them, they believe them, and they follow them all the days of their lives, even to their own deaths.  And they teach their children to do likewise. 
   In 1933, Adolph Hitler was popular among the people of Germany.  They liked him, they trusted him, they believed him, and they followed him to the death and destruction of their own nation, for Hitler had the power to mesmerize the minds of the people of Germany. 
   In the minds of the people, Hitler was more than human:  he became a god, or a savior, in whom they believed would lead them out of financial chaos and to a new frontier, a new utopia, and produce a new world order because Hitler would fix everything that was wrong, and Hitler would become King of the World.
   The leaders of the world today are popular among people.  People like them, they trust them, they believe in them, and they will follow them all the days of their lives, even to their own deaths.  And they teach their children to do likewise.
   The leaders of the world hide behind the mask of fancy suits and priestly garments.
   They have no conscience, no morality, for their minds dwell in the language of evil.
   Everything about their lives is superficial.
   Their speeches are enticing words that lure people into their evil web.
   They smile for television cameras and kiss babies.
   They ride through the streets in chariots, accepting the praises and adorations of their flock.
   They live rich and lavish lifestyles while people all over the world suffer in sickness, disease, and economic ruin.
   They close the doors of their castles to refugees and migrants fleeing for their lives and seeking a piece of bread, a cup of water, a warm blanket for the night, and clothes for their children.
   They have no room in the inn for strangers.
   The king of Israel attempted to assassinate Jesus when the Lord was only two years old.  Now if a king of the earth is willing to kill a baby, would that same king kill you and me?
   In September, 2015, the kings of the earth began to gather in the United States.  One of them will arise to be King of the World. 
   The King of the World that is rising upon the earth has the power to mesmerize the minds of people. 
   He will be popular among the masses of millions of people.
   People will like him, believe him, trust him, and they will obey him.
   People will worship and adore him, kneel to him, and give him praises. 
   But at the end of days, the true identity of the King of the World will be revealed, for he is a dragon. 
      And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:  and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast?  Who is able to make war with him?  
      And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
      And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
      And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:  and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
      And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.  (Revelation 13: 4-8)
