PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL LAW: What Form(s) Of Slavery Do You Support? – Part II

This is the second of a two-part post.  In the first part (find it here), I developed a better definition of what we actually mean by slavery. In this post, we are going to hold that definition up against some of the things we do in our society today to see whether or not we actually support slavery.  But first, let’s review the definition we developed:

Slavery is the sustained practice of forcing another person to work — against their will — for the material gain of another.

Now, let’s see what this definition tells us about the practices we support without realizing they constitute slavery. Continue reading “PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL LAW: What Form(s) Of Slavery Do You Support? – Part II”

PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL LAW: What Form(s) Of Slavery Do You Support?

Do not just read the title of this post and dismiss it.  You may think you do not support slavery, but are you sure?  Are you really sure?  How much time have you spent thinking about slavery?  Have you spent any time thinking about what you mean by the word?  If you haven’t, you might not want to ignore this post.  After I spent some serious time thinking about what slavery actually means, I was surprised to realize that — at one time in my life or another — I have supported slavery.  But, had you asked me at those times, I would have sworn that I was absolutely opposed slavery in any and all of its forms.  I would have also been wrong.  So, for you, the question you have to answer is this: Do you actually support slavery without realizing it?

McDonald’s Proves U.S. Now A Fascist Nation Heading Toward Communism

What McDonald’s has just done proves that ‘Big Business’ is not in charge of this nation.  Corporations are not running our government; our government is running big business. As long as a nation retains a sense of nationalism (patriotism and/or defense of its borders), this is the operative definition of Fascism.  This is not a matter of opinion, it is a fact.  If we will look at what is actually happening in America and compare it to the definition of Fascism, we will find current events match perfectly with that definition.  McDonald’s is just the latest example proving that we have become a Fascist nation, but it is also one of the clearest.  If do not believe it, please continue reading.

The Voice Of The Serpent

Satan is the great deceiver.  His deceptions can come in many forms.  He may twist words and tell half-truths as he did when he deceived Eve in the garden, or he may omit essential Truth as he did when he tempted Christ.  Whatever the form, you must understand that when you hear someone who is intentionally deceiving you, you are hearing the voice of Satan.  This applies to me, it applies to our leaders, our pastors: it applies to everyone — even the Apostle, Peter (Mat 16:23). The only protection we have from being deceived is to know, believe in and cling to the Word of God and to the Gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ.  So, please, I beg you, understand that I am not writing to attack the man, but to warn you against the voice of Satan which is coming from his mouth.  I write now to warn you against the deceptions he told today, and so that you will not be deceived in the same ways he has been.

ISIS Was NOT Created By The U.S.

I have been reading stories about Americans blaming America for the creation of ISIS.  I do not mean to be rude, but if you believe that, you do not know enough about Islam to be making public comments about current events in the Middle East.  ISIS has nothing to do with the U.S. — period!  If there had never been a U.S., ISIS would have still come to be, just maybe in a different form.  We are not dealing with the effects of U.S. policy here as much as we are dealing with Islamic prophecy, and we in the West had better learn this and learn it fast!  Islam teaches that you must believe in ‘The Last days.’  If you do not, you are an apostate and are to be killed immediately.  If you believe in the Islamic ‘Last Days,’ then you believe that all the earth was once Muslim and has been stolen and must be re-taken by Jihad.  I know the West does not believe that but what we believe is immaterial — it is what Muhammad taught and it is what ISIS is trying to do.  ISIS is just obeying Muhammad’s commands.  It’s just that, in this case, ISIS is trying to regain the land lost when the Allies won WW I.  Read this earlier post and you might start to understand why the people blaming the U.S. for the creation of ISIS are proving to the world that they are dangerously ignorant and should stop talking about the Middle East:

The Difference between ISIS and ISIL is Spiritual Blindness

[BTW: When Obama calls ISIS, ISISL, he is openly telling Islam that he is their ally, and at the same time, he is committing treason against the United States and threatening the very existence of Israel.  It’s just that we do not understand what he means anymore than we understood when he told us he planned to ‘fundamentally change America.‘]

The Very Politically Incorrect Truth About ‘Trans-Gender’ (and BRUCE JENNER)

WARING!

This post is the truth, and as such, it is not politically correct.  Also, as the truth, I will not apologize for it.  That said, there is nothing hate-filled about the truth, nor is this post an attack on any individual.  It is just the truth about an issue that is being forced down our throats.

They Will Kill You Because they ‘Love’ You

Whether you believe it or not, there is a God.  He is not dead.  He created this world and He reigns from on high.  He also set laws by which His creation is governed.  Whether they be Natural Law or Revealed Law, they are real and they are faithfully enforced.  But God is merciful, so He has designed His laws so that they allow us time to learn from our mistakes while there is still time to correct our hearts.  However, if we refuse to learn or to accept that He is God; if we chose instead to rebel and to reject Him and His Laws, then Scripture says He will give us over to our depravity.  And depravity it is.  How else could a person believe in their heart that they are justified in ruling over the lives of many because they ‘love’ them?  If not depravity, then what do we call it when people come to a point where they believe they love people so much that they must kill them?  And that killing them is for their own good?  Well, there are those who are of this spirit of ‘love’ — ‘love’ that drives them to control and to kill — and many of them are now pushing the world to the edge of the abyss because they refuse to acknowledge and conform to God’s Laws.

CHRISTIANS: Will You Be Chaff, Or Wheat?

This post is written specifically to those readers who consider themselves to be Christians.  Have you been paying attention to the political climate in this nation?  Have you noticed how quickly the government is forcing us to depend on it for everything, and how it is making it illegal to actually live the tenants of your faith?  Well, I have two simple questions for you.  First, do you consider yourself to be chaff or wheat?  And if you are wheat, do you understand what that means?  If not, I will remind you, but first, let me share something with you written by Niemoller, a true Christian Pastor who chose a NAZI prison instead of swearing an oath of allegiance to Hitler: Continue reading “CHRISTIANS: Will You Be Chaff, Or Wheat?”

PROPHECY: ‘The Prince Who is to Come’ and the Spirit of Socialism

I would like to address a political aspect of our physical world, but I have to tackle a tough aspect of the Spiritual world before I can do so.  The subject I have to tackle is tough because many believers have a tendency to resist sound doctrine.  They prefer to cling to the things that men have told them rather than to the Word of God.  I am no exception, but I am trying to work on learning and embracing what God’s Word actually says.  In this case, I am talking about the idea that Scripture foretells of a world leader who will be possessed by Satan and usher in the return of Christ and the end of this world as we know it.  Those who believe this story know this figure as ‘The Anti-Christ.’  The problem is, Scripture does not speak of such a figure in prophecy.  In fact, the term ‘anti-christ’ is only used four times in the entire Bible, and in all four cases, we are told it does not refer to a single person, but to a spirit.  Many believers do not want to accept this, and they will point to other passages in Scripture to support their belief that prophecy does predict an Anti-Christ.’  Daniel 9:26 is one of the most common passages sited by those who refuse to accept John’s admonishments about the spirit of anti-christ.  Unfortunately, if they had read Daniel a little closer, I think they would see that Gabriel has already settled this whole debate.  So, before I address my worldly political topic, let’s look at Daniel 9;26 and ‘the prince who is to come.’ Continue reading “PROPHECY: ‘The Prince Who is to Come’ and the Spirit of Socialism”

Time Is Short; Please Do Not Dismiss The Signs

Earlier today, I heard some people mocking the idea that people are hearing the trumpets of the apocalypse.  Apparently, people have been reporting mysterious sounds in the sky.  It is been happening for ten years now, and has been reported all over the world.  There are even recordings of the sounds.  So far, no one has been able to identify them, or explain what is causing them.  But when some suggest that these sounds good be connected to the trumpets of the apocalypse, most people dismiss it and laugh at the idea.  That’s what the people I heard today were doing.  For your own sake, do not join them.  Learn about God and how He works.  “I didn’t know” will not be an excuse on judgment day.  His warnings have been showing up everywhere, and His appointed watchmen have been sounding the alarm, but most people are ignoring them.  Please, I am begging you, do not be among those who ignore or scoff at God’s warnings.  Judgment is coming!

LESSONS IN LOGIC: We Will ALWAYS Have The Poor

So, Obama said he is not buying into the idea that we will always have the poor with us.  I am going to set aside the fact that this ‘Christian’ just tried to over rule Christ’s own words and ask you to look just at the utter stupidity of Obama’s assertion.  Remember, it is not the word that defines, but the form and function: the nature of something is what defines it.  So, what is it that defines ‘poor?’  It is not so much the amount of money you have, but whether or not the amount of money you have will provide for your basic living needs.  Now, let’s apply that to Obama’s claim that we can rid the world of poverty. Continue reading “LESSONS IN LOGIC: We Will ALWAYS Have The Poor”

TRUTH: So Close — Yet So Far

Today, May 13, at approximately 1020 CST, on his radio program, Glenn Beck got as close as I have ever heard him get to the Truth about God.  Beck said that the only thing that matters is not religion, but God.  He said we need to stop focusing on religion and start focusing on and trusting in God.  With these words, he is so close, yet, sadly,  he is still an infinity away from the Truth.  The reason he misses the mark is simple.  Beck is promoting the ideal behind this popular bumper-sticker:

coexist-1_7aea

The problem is that the ideal behind this message is religion, not God.  Worse, it is an anti-God religion.  Now the question you must answer is this:

“Do you know why this message is anti-God?” Continue reading “TRUTH: So Close — Yet So Far”

So Much For The ‘Experts’

How many times have you heard people say, or seen it inferred that without a certain piece of paper, you are unqualified to do or comment on something?  The unspoken assumption in these cases is that, without some school or government agency bestowing their stamp of approval on you, you do not know anything.  Well, I am going to tell you straight out that those who believe this are either gullible people who have been duped or they are using this assumption as a tactic to silence you.  Why do I say this?  Well, first, it is a matter of simple logic.  Going to school does not make one an ‘expert’ anymore than lacking a degree makes one ignorant.  But I have a perfect example for you.  Here, take this test: Continue reading “So Much For The ‘Experts’”

If This Is Your View Of God’s Word, Please Do Not Pray For God To Change MY Heart

I had a reader scold me because of my position on homosexuality and gay marriage.  This reader told me that I do not understand God’s Word and they will pray for me that God may change my heart so that I can find a way to serve God and my fellow man with love.  If you are of like mind with this reader, may I ask you to please do me a favor?  If you believe the same way as this reader, please do not pray that God will make me like you.  I have enough trouble trying to be obedient without you adding to my burdens.  Besides, I never want to hate someone so much that I would make them comfortable in their sin, worse still, that I would do it in the name of Christ.  However, I will pray that those who believe as this reader will come to understand why I reject such prayers.  If you allow me, I’ll even try to explain it to you (and, hopefully, to this particular reader, as well). Continue reading “If This Is Your View Of God’s Word, Please Do Not Pray For God To Change MY Heart”

LESSONS IN LOGIC: More Fun With The ‘Politically Correct’

If you read my blog posts, you will run across a repeating theme: that those who call themselves ‘Liberal/progressive’ are irrational.  I still believe this, all the more because the proof of my assertion is displayed daily in the ‘main stream’ media.  But there is more to this story that I have never told my readers.  I think it is time I do so, because it is directly related to why we should reject what the ‘politically correct’ crowed is saying and doing.  So, if you have a moment, I want to share a story with you, then explain how it is related to the politically correct agenda of the modern American Left.

TRUTH: Glenn Has It Wrong — AGAIN!

Glenn Beck has announced that he is writing a book about Islam that is due to be released this summer.  I strongly suggest this book will be a waste of your time and money on your part.  I say this because Glenn keeps trying to create something that does not exist.  Today, Glenn continued trying to make a ‘good’ Islam and a ‘radical’ Islam.  This is proof positive that Beck simply does not understand Islam.  So, one more time, let me try to explain what Beck is missing.
