Addition to the Remnant post

So, in the end, men may have to "leave" a sect or denomination in order to truly come to Christ, and this does not mean you are betraying your brethren or denying your faith, but seeking to realize, edify, add to, validate, verify what you know about God and build upon the Faith the He grants freely and embolden and strengthen your relationship with Him, using as a compass and guide, this maxim:

Jhn 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

If they are worthy of the "Nod of God," then I believe it Wisdom to show your respect and true Faith in Him and His Chosen by being in Agreement and humbly seeking to learn who He is by learning to worship with the best.

Indeed the Remnant will be small, so that those churches who now boast of conversion numbers and such will have nothing more to boast of than souls condemned by works.

Isa 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Isa 16:14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.

Jer 44:28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.

COME AS YOU ARE

"Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun..."

"Behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague." --Leviticus 13:13

Strange enough this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. This morning it may be well for us to see the typical teaching of so singular a rule. We, too, are lepers, and may read the law of leper as applicable to ourselves. When a man sees himself to be altogether lost and ruined, covered all over with the defilement of sin, and no part free from pollution; when he disclaims all righteousness of his own, and pleads guilty before the Lord, then is he clean through the blood of Jesus, and the grace of God. Hidden, unfelt, unconfessed iniquity is the true leprosy, but when sin is seen and felt it has received its death blow, and the Lord looks with eyes of mercy upon the soul afflicted with it. Nothing is more deadly than self-righteousness, or more hopeful than contrition. We must confess that we are "nothing else but sin," for no confession short of this will be the whole truth, and if the Holy Spirit be at work with us, convincing us of sin, there will be no difficulty about making such an acknowledgment--it will spring spontaneously from our lips. What comfort does the text afford to those under a deep sense of sin! Sin mourned and confessed, however black and foul, shall never shut a man out from the Lord Jesus. Whosoever cometh unto Him, He will in no wise cast out. Though dishonest as the thief, though unchaste as the woman who was a sinner, though fierce as Saul of Tarsus, though cruel as Manasseh, though rebellious as the prodigal, the great heart of love will look upon the man who feels himself to have no soundness in him, and will pronounce him clean, when he trusts in Jesus crucified. Come to Him, then, poor heavy-laden sinner,

Come needy, come guilty, come loathsome and bare; You can't come too filthy--come just as you are.

Remnant continued...(Method to the Madness)

1Nephi 13:12 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the promised land.

It is God's Promise that means ALL. Nothing else matters. The devil has been trying in vain to make a liar out of God since the very beginning and he will never rest or stop until he is destroyed. He very nearly succeeds through Joseph but Judah will save Joseph and bring Joseph's Testimony to fulfillment in more ways than one...Joseph was just jealous and this will of course be forgiven, granted Ephraim repent.

After all their work for Christ, to at last be rejected, would be calamity...

Deu 32:21 They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities:

and I will move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

The LORD's Word is absolute and eternal.

Isa 11:13

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

Joseph was also fed up with God as were many during his time...and because I believe today's generation to be the "Joseph Smith Generation" our culture personifies this yawning impatience with the Almighty.

God chose Jacob/Israel and the Jews, and His Promise and Covenant is Forever.

And why must Judah save Joseph even if Joseph were perfect? Simple. God saves Judah. It's none of Judah or Joseph or any other servant, nation, god, or entity's doing. It's God.

The Jews are a humble, noble, incredibly wise people, and their wisdom comes from self abasement, as does their will to perservere in the worst of circumstances...Which brings the Pride of those who find themselves and their works to be worthy of exaltation against them.

So, it's not because people worship on Sunday that they are rejected, it's notbecause they eat apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah that they are accepted...God is not going to accept a Jew who would not deny the traditions of his fellow Jews any more than He would accept a Mormon who would not leave off Sunday Worship and "Family Home Evening" to honor Him on the actual Seventh Day Sabbath, nor would He accept the SDA Church who sell the Sabbath Worship in order to build up their Church and Religion and false prophet...

Yet, each religion has been blessed with worthy revelation from the Holy Spirit and study of the Scriptures. The Key to unlocking each Sect's real potential is in Unity in Christ, which is possible through Christ alone using Paul's understanding, which exceeds all others, simply because he relies on Christ. Willing to walk blindly in Faith.

And Joseph actually does walk the walk but lacks the humility and love of Paul perhaps because he thought himself worthy of the Glory of God or God's Son. Joseph/Ephraim does not like to go without, endure hard times...and becomes petty and bitter, seeking payback on their own, which leads to a Priesthood and Church which shuts up Heaven against men.

Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

This is the worst kind of apostasy and most difficult to mark, for the Priesthood can still claim and speak according to Law and testimony yet their is no light in them, and they become the worst kind of evil.

Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness.

But what we shall find is that even if Jesus Christ had led an entirely sinful life and died a wretched death of a sinful man, God would still raise him from the Dead, from the very Pit of Hell and proclaim him Messiah, because Jesus would never be a sinful man, like Job, he would cling to innocence and never join the Enemy of God.

Such is God's Will in Christ Jesus, and nothing will ever change that and to work against it, is to side with Satan and be destroyed ultimately.

D&C 93 almost captures this Truth:

12-14 And I, John, saw that he received not of the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace;

And he received not of the fulness at first, but continued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness;

And thus he was called the Son of God, because he received not of the fulness at the first.

False because:

Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Always did, always will...The Truth that this Scripture might relate is that Jesus or God in Jesus revealed Himself once in a Way that no one could deny ever again, with the Crucifixion, Death, Risen Christ, Resurrection and Acension which had and has happened more than once, in different ways. But otherwise, in different incarnations and forms the Spirit can and does go from Grace to Grace, until such a time as God Glorifies. I would say afterward and before Christ seemed to go from grace to grace and realized this during His Ministry.

Luke 24:25-27 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Jhn 12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and [that] they had done these things unto him.

Hence, I conclude that the LDS Church wishes to continue to do these things unto Christ rather than really come to Him. They may feel themselves worthy and Christ unworthy, or be willing to try and make Him so, such is "possible" since Christ is willing to be the Lamb for the Slaughter.

2Cr 5:18-21 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespassesunto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

See what I mean? Joseph does what Paul asks, but then tries to take the Glory because it's available, Christ doesn't want it for His own sake, so why not take It? Therein lies the answer. Joseph had a better chance than Paul, he started off on the right path, and he didn't have Paul's weakness. Joseph's weakness led him to defile his bride, which ultimately strengthens "that Wicked" (Thess. 2:8) built up upon the pride of men and the Church. Paul's weakness worked exactly the opposite because we could mark it, learn from it, avoid it and work the work of reconciliation instead of condemnation and the "putting forth of the finger." Paul recognized his weakness and did his best to utilize it to win souls to Christ.

Joseph did not recognize his weakness and that is what leads to a Church in denial.  God uses Joseph's weakness to reveal the Truth about Joseph, if you can see it and help realize it, we can "save" the Work Joseph brought to Light. Otherwise Joseph's weakness leads men away from Christ.

Solomon/Jesus' weakness led him in one instance to hate his Bride and in another to forgive Her and lay down His life for Her. This was Paul's life story.

1Cr 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Back to our story...

Why shouldn't the Beast desire a day for itself? It provides for its own and works hard eight days a week.

That is precisely the point: It never stops, and is always hungry...the Grave, it's the Pact with Death...It can't stop to rest for even a day and absolutely will not rest for His Day. Elders and Priests work harder on Sundays than on any other day of the week and they have the temerity to call this a Day of Rest? Acceptable unto the LORD? It defies the Commandment of Sabbath! Made for man..."thou shalt do no work [therein]."

It's not the same Spirit.

Sabbath is about Faith and Relationship and Him knowing you whether you wish to be known or not...

Sabbath REST.

Again, He chose Paul, Chief of Sinners, a lecherous, vile man, because He knew somehow Paul would tell the Truth, he knew Paul's spirit and He weighed it and accepted him. He knew others would know Paul spoke the Truth as well. It's a Spiritual matter.

It was Wisdom in God.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Jam 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Not steal and ye shall be believed.

Jer 23:30 Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

The Truth will be revealed in the outcome. Pay attention Joseph. It's not about the Servant.

2Ch 1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, [that is so] great?

Psa 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Ecc 2:9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

Note Solomon says, "I was great..." but the message he was imparting was, I'm ultimately nothing and unimportant, what I have discovered is that I gotta make me happy by being what God made me to be. Because he didn't do a thing, he sat around and watched his people build a Kingdom around him, and yeah, he said now, I'm great or we're great but who cares? Something is missing, we're not realizing something, or I'm not. His conclusion, man should find something worthwhile to do, something he is happy doing, and that contributes to his fellows happiness. I aint found it in bitches and hoes and drink and riches and religion, something doesn't jibe with my Kingdom, something's up...what is it?

Ecc 6:11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the better?

Ecc 12:12-13 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.

So, the secret is as easy as it is hard. You just have to be who you are, and that's it. But throw in sin and it's so damned hard! You can't sit still.

One becomes, "bored to Death." That's how easy it is to lose all you have, just become convinced that what you have is boring and you'll go looking for something you are not. And it's fun. It's a unique thrill to die. It's hard to live, it takes skill and mastery. Easier to master survival, which is why so many boys remain boys, they just get really big.

Labor all you want, fight all you want, in all you can, in the end, none of it is going to make you happy. What brings Joy, Real Joy, is faithfulness, having friends and family, a community that works, plays, endures together all things our enemies can throw our way. And we can only attain such a society by obeying the commandments and loving one another...

For me, Mormon understanding of the Scriptures makes dumb the Word of God, and in some cases makes It lie...I have yet to verify whether this is the intent of the Latter-day Saints and why, or whether it is honest error...but it frightens me away from the Church.

Then again, it may just be fulfillment of their Word.

Ether 12: 24-28 And thou hast made us that we could write but little, because of the awkwardness of our hands. Behold, thou hast not made us mighty in writing like unto the brother of Jared, for thou madest him that the things which he wrote were mighty even as thou art, unto the overpowering of man to read them.

Thou hast also made our words powerful and great, even that we cannot write them; wherefore, when we write we behold our weakness, and stumble because of the placing of our words; and I fear lest the Gentiles shall mock at our words.

And when I had said this, the Lord spake unto me, saying: Fools mock, but they shall mourn; and my grace is sufficient for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness;

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

Behold, I will show unto the Gentiles their weakness, and I will show unto them that faith, hope and charity bringeth unto me the fountain of all righteousness.

Which brings me to my next point, or rather God's Point, which is validated in both Works/Books/Sticks. First above, that God gives men weakness that they may be humble. And Paul's very life was an example of a weak man made strong in the LORD, wrestling with the "old man," in Roman's chapter seven.

So, since you can't trust a single word most others say, nor even judge by actions these days, it is best to assume that anything anyone claims to be, you can be sure that they are not. Unless, they claim to be no more than a sinner in need of God's Mercy and Grace, they are lying and bound for hell unless they repent.

Pride is the greatest reaper of souls among sins.

Learn and know the difference between proper and improper disdain. I tell you forsooth, there has been no Kingdom on earth built up that has not been built upon upon this fundamental foundational maxim within the Christ. It is the way we learn to act in surety and Faith with right intent, because we are intent upon nothing more than being Right. And it is acheived because, what, what? Because we love one another and forgive sins and admit our faults and stop leading one another into sin and do our best to warn others in earnest, and sacrifice ourselves for the good of the whole. America has become exactly the opposite, men only sacrifice themselves for pride and glory, of which they will see niether...You must be prepared to forgive the worst sinner and to warn the most naive of children of sin, even if you look bad in the transaction. That is when a boy becomes a man and a girl becomes a woman, and the Pride of the world is overcome.

Churches and Societies are built upon the Faith and Strength of their adherents, citizens and contributors. If a body of believers believes in God wholeheartedly but errs in which day they worship on, it doesn't matter. God will love them as much and more than they love Him simply because they REALLY do love Him.

God may hate the Church Leaders, Priesthood and Apostles who are intent on using the belief of others to suit their own agendas, but He will love the true believers, despite their being duped and led astray.

Isa 65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

This is why the Mormon Church is one of the most successful churches on earth: They teach well when they stick to the fundamentals, and keep it fairly simple. You can sometimes trust the teachings but not always the teachers. But it is up to YOU to know the difference. God will hold YOU accountable for falling for the false doctrine of devils.

Mat 23:2-3 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

Once a man is seated in a place of honor, he is always remiss to leave his throne, no matter if God's Son tells him he has no right to it. Especially a divided man.

Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

And what? You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Too often Teachers don't know what they are teaching.

Jhn 3:10-12 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?

People can use Righteousness to wield power over others. Christ died for sinners not the righteous. His actions more often than not condemned the righteous but he admitted openly that righteousness delivers from condemnation, and any who take hold of Him, from Death.

Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Leave it to God, trust His Choice.

Mat 19:25-26 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible

Feigned propriety is not the Holy Spirit. Neurosis inducing strict order does not bring about His Peace nor Kingdom, which is not of this earth, and will never bring about the Liberty Heavenly Citizens have the Divine Right to enjoy on earth.

Jesus taught everything by doing it, every little nuance of His Character spoke the Gospel. When he laid back at ease on the Passover before he was to be crucified, He was teaching something about true Worship. It's to be extremely comfortable, laid back and graceful.

So, the Remnant or Divine Right Party will be comprised of members from every Nation and walk of life. People who truly love one another and God, and not upon any particular religious affiliation or doctrine built upon man's understanding of the Word of God or Gospel of Christ.

These will worship in Spirit and in Truth.

And they will follow Jesus, no other.

Jhn 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

If you are a debtor, you will be judged according to Paul's gospel, by Moses.

If you have Christ, those who belong to Him will be attracted to you.

Sin eventually forbids everyone from coming to Christ and that is when Christ finishes The Work.

Ironically, this is how the Whore ensnares, because we are willing to come to her if only to find what we need in Him transformed into something comfortable and cheap, thus the Great Delusion/Apostasy is reinforced, strengthened and emboldened.

Which is why she's so busy making her self up to look like a faithful wife again...Christian Coalition, Traditional Values stuff, all kinds of human institutions that will welcome you for your money and contributions, and grant you "freedom." But this isn't Christian Liberty, it's Slavery cloaked in good deeds and intentions.

1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

Acquiesce is not love, though it hath a pleasing form and convincing manner.

Rebellion would be more honorable...

And people know it, that is why so many become filthy sinners even though they are of righteous mindset. The best of us have fallen and we don't know how to proceed. Most know nothing more than a Hunger which must be at odds with the Creator to survive. And this will is willing to serve a false Church/State Union which God will enable because it will have no choice and mostly be willing to protect the flock or Body for the rewards it needs. For this will produce a land of wise princes if they know the Whore and find the strength in Unity to overcome what she is selling. Incredibly hard to do! Pray daily for them.

Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Ecc 10:17 Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

I chose the LDS Church to be bapstised in because I felt real love for and of its missionaries. I know they have Christ. I chose them that all righteousness might be fulfilled and that they might indeed possess the Authority of Christ. I joked upon the day of my baptism that I was being baptised to slow the church down, and I received some uncomfortable laughs. Indeed, I was baptised to bring the Church to a halt in order that they might find the will to truly know Him and be with Him, whom they have striven selflessly for most of their lives to serve. And not just the patience, time and space to make a successful bid in the latter-days to claim Christ and make a profit.

I realize it seems unfair to ask of people who have served and endured patiently for many years, to continue to do so when their chance for phenomenal worldly success and notriety is at hand, but that is exactly what they must do. And to concentrate in earnest on the reconciliation of the tribes, by seeking to know God with the assistance of their truly Jewish brethren. Learning anew and conforming where neccessary to the True God and His Way, through Jesus Christ not Joseph Smith. This is the opportunity all have been waiting for, to allow each "tribe" to participate and contribute what they have garnered apart from the Whole. That we all might help each other overcome our Pride.

I chose them to save those whom I felt a love for within the Church from the Church.

Not to condemn the Church but to aright its will that it might come to know the Liberty the Spirit knows and grants freely.

I would that the Church might take notice of the Puritan lives that molded this nation's moral values and ethics. The Puritans have very little in way of worldly accomplishments to boast of, indeed they lived as beggars on a reservation granted them by their enemies whom they were quick to befriend and make peace with. And yet their heritage is the richest this nation has or will ever inherit.

The Plymouth Plantation still bears His Glory, as does all of Creation without a man lifting a finger to build a single edifice to Him.

Remnant

Yesterday, I learned something I didn't know; the word "atheist" was originally used by pagans to describe Christians who denied the existence of the deities the pagans so revered.

Which makes sense since Christians, real Christians, would never be concerned with enforcing worship, though many Churches built up on the foundation of Christ did become so, hiding the true intent of their church and the idols they served in secret.

Truth: Satan works harder for Christ than any other being in the earth.

Fact: The Way is EASY!

Lots of people replace love with work. Love is harder, takes more patience, hurts more when failed...yet endures all things.

Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

If you can dupe the Christ or the Christ in a member or elect servant, you can twist and wrest the Gospel to serve whatever end you please...as far as others are willing to give over their Divine Right to your agenda.

How are we to know???

Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

1Jo 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

 

 

The Roman Catholic and Mormon Church for example, both honor the Beast with worship and communion on Sunday when they call it Sabbath, mostly in error, they simple don't know any better. But those who do know better Worship the Evil One, and as debtors to Christ no matter how you slice it, hold at least a grudge and at worst a passionate hatred for and hold in derision all things Holy.

Because a fallen brotherhood is all important to survival in the earth, and no matter how much you would like to honor Christ, you cannot when you have to be a part of that brotherhood.

It's a compromised allegiance to God and Christ, which is unacceptable and unworthy of Glory.

This understanding or lack thereof births Societies/Kingdoms/Mobrules like that of America, which, as openly wicked as She may become is yet under Christ's Authority and the most base of men understand this fact and rely on it more than they would care to acknowledge openly. The best of them, try to acknowledge It erringly and are therefore heartily and boldly forgiven.

To really follow Christ one would have to leave the church and take up his cross daily, not just once a week.

Which is exactly how the real Remnant shall be formed. Members of all different sects and denominations, race and nation are going to find that in order to come to Christ, they must leave their Church, not abandon but seek Christ and God in Creation and HIs Word rather than Church doctrine and dogma.

The Sabbath was created for man and not man for the Sabbath-So...what did Jesus reveal about the Church? The Church/Temple worked harder on Sabbath than on any other day performing empty rituals and labors in a perfunctory show of propriety. And worse, was in league with the State/Government, and served for the Whore/Money, committing adultery on so many levels it was impossible to use the Temple for any Work of God...That is why Jesus did no Work there. He did all His Works in secret, though news of them came abroad.

Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath-So...Jesus is explaining that it is not about the Church or men's will to work, but about the Spirit and mystery of Holiness.

Men created men for the "Sabbath." A day when men would work harder than any other day of the week to win people to the Church. Abominable...A day for men to show off how holy they find themselves to be, a day for people to join them in this detestable practice...when what did God say?

Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Joseph Smith, a servant of Jesus Christ, while faithful to a point, seems totally blind to the Work he labored to translate. Everytime he had opportunity to do so, he betrays the Spirit of the Christ in his personal life with Pride and love of worldly things such as the praise of men. That is why I know Paul's testimony is superior, even though Paul's personal example and lifestyle was inferior.

Joseph does not take the Spirit to himself and fulfills Scripture he labored to "translate." In a miraculously ironic way... I believe he felt Jesus Christ as a person to be beneath him because he knew Jesus could sin and be tricked as many others have tried to do as well. He didn't see Christ as God in theFlesh but merely a man who brought the "Gospel," and whose authority could be usurped. And such can be done, for the entire world is willing and able to deny Christ. Nonetheless, Jesus loved Joseph.

Alma 30: 42 Behold, I know that thou believest, but thou art possessed with a lying spirit, and ye have put off the Spirit of God that it may have no place in you; but the devil has power over you, and he doth carry you about, working devices that he may destroy the children of God.

Moses 1:19 Satan cried with a loud voice, and ranted upon the earth, and commanded, saying: I am the Only Begotten, worship me.

Joseph Smith and Co. I believe at least some of them, were righteous because they hated God. He wanted the Throne, not the Love. He knew he could do what Jesus did. He knew he could be righteous. But could he be hated, miserable, lowly and destestable for God? I don't think so. What hath the glory of men to do with God? God knew and knows Joseph.

Proper attitude:

2Cr 12:5-6 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or [that] he heareth of me.

Improper:

 

"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. Neither Paul, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day-Saints never ran away from me yet."

 

Nonetheless, number One Reason people despised Joseph Smith and Mormons???

They fulfilled Scripture and made everyone else around them look weak and sinful.
Joseph and his followers seemed undefiled, holy, strong and able which their works testified to, it was Pride that knocked 'em down, even though they continue to build up places to honor themselves...not God. They were handed over to their enemies, even though their hands were clean, their hearts were defiled before God. The hearts of their enemies were more worthy and righteous, though the hands of their enemies were bloodied with sin.

Let's face it, loving God is not easy. He honors whomever He so chooses, and for His own reasons and to bring about His own Work. He often leaves us without hands and eyes in the world, not knowing which end is up, indebted to our enemies...because...lo and behold, that is when God can step in and save us from ourselves.

And I don't mean to tear down the Faith of the Mormon Church.

They do a lot of things very well, simply because they keep it simple. And the Book of Mormon is Scripture even if the Church itself doesn't understand It.

It's fascinatingly true that where Jews fail, Gentiles suceed and vice versa. And when the day comes that they realize this and bring both oddities together to Unify The Faith...Grace and Love shall abound as never before.

If they believe in Christ, they will be justified. If they believe in Joseph, they wont.

Jhn 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

The Faithful witness therefore...

1Cr 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.

It is believers who make the Church successful. It is the Body acting in Holiness, desiring the Greater Gifts, loving one another...Seeking to be Holy even because He is Holy. Which is why the LDS Church is so successful to a point. Joseph's personal walk and example exceeded any other witness. He did what Jesus asked because he understood the Secret. Then he betrays all his labor and with a single statement, is rejected. Why? Because it was his attitude all along. He never really took the Gospel to heart he just underestood It and why and how It worked. For him it was strictly business and the Church exemplifies this attitude.

And their young missionaries and laborers are some of the best in the business because they have Christ.

But too often what the Church does to the believer is use up his strength and holiness to no purpose in God. To build up the actual earthly edifice and exalt that which men created with their hands, rather then that Body which is Created without hands. Which is to bring Christ down to a level that Christ never should be brought to.

Mar 14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

Rom 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down [from above]:)

Joseph and LDS Doctrine got everyone asking, "Who shall ascend to Heaven?" Not just a couple of apostles but the whole Church...

So, the wisdom in choosing Joseph was different than the choice of Paul and teaches something different about God. Joseph was no doubt unaware that he would someday end up looking foolish by being "perfect." How and why? It was an act and God knew it.

Question is: Will Joseph submit to the Authority of Christ or become the Prince of this world?

Hosea prophesies of his allegiance to idols in the latter-days,

Hosea 4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!

And Judah stumbles with him.

Hosea also witnesses that God does love him and looks after him. Just as God remains with Judah, He remains steadfast in His Love for Ephraim and for all the World.

Hsa 11:1-12 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

[As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.

And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].

How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

Yom Kippur

THE KOL NIDRE

http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=340&letter=K

By : Joseph Jacobs Max Schloessinger Cyrus Adler Francis L. Cohen

Prayer recited in the synagogue at the beginning of the evening service on the Day of Atonement; the name is taken from the opening words. The "Kol Nidre" has had a very eventful history, both in itself and in its influence on the legal status of the Jews.

Introduced into the liturgy despite the opposition of rabbinic authorities, repeatedly attacked in the course of time by many halakists, and in the nineteenth century expunged from the prayer-book by many communities of western Europe, it has often been employed by Christians to support their assertion that the oath of a Jew can not be trusted.

Form of Prayer.

Before sunset on the eve of the Day of Atonement, when the congregation has gathered in the synagogue, the Ark is opened and two rabbis, or two leading men in the community, take from it two Torah-scrolls.

Then they take their places, one on each side of the ?azzan, and the three recite in concert a formula beginning with the words, which runs as follows:

"In the tribunal of heaven and the tribunal of earth, by the permission of God -- blessed be He -- and by the permission of this holy congregation, we hold it lawful to pray with the transgressors."

Thereupon the cantor chants the Aramaic prayer beginning with the words "Kol Nidre," with its marvelously plaintive and touching melody, and, gradually increasing in volume from pianissimo to fortissimo, repeats three times the following words:

"All vows , obligations, oaths, and anathemas, whether called '?onam,' '?onas,' or by any other name, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next (whose happy coming we await), we do repent.

May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths."

The leader and the congregation then say together: (Num. xv. 26).

"And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them, seeing all the people were in ignorance"

This also is repeated three times. The ?azzan then closes with the benediction, :

"Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who hast preserved us and hast brought us to enjoy this season."

In many congregations Num. xiv. 19-20 is recited before this benediction. After it the Torah-scrolls are replaced, and the customary evening service begins.

 

 

May the reader be blessed in the new year and may all find themselves inscribed in the LORD's Book of Life!

 

The Lion and the Eagle

 2 Esdras 11

36 Then I heard a voice, which said unto me, Look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest. 37 And I beheld, and lo as it were a roaring lion chased out of the wood: and I saw that he sent out a man’s voice unto the eagle, and said, 38 Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee, 39 Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their times might come through them? 40 And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with much wicked oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit. 41 For the earth hast thou not judged with truth. 42 For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm. 43 Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto the Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. 44 The Highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and, behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled. 45 And therefore appear no more, thou eagle, nor thy horrible wings, nor thy wicked feathers, nor thy malicious heads, nor thy hurtful claws, nor all thy vain body: 46 That all the earth may be refreshed, and may return, being delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgment and mercy of him that made her.

Living in the limelight

The universal dream

For those who wish to seem...

Those who wish to be...

Must put aside the alienation

Get on with the fascination

The real relation

The underlying theme...

The Whore's power lies in Her ability to make everyone anti-social and then claim to have solutions for anti-social behavior.

I do not intend to dishearten any, just the opposite. Not many have managed to become "adults," (whatever that is) in this world of labels. A favored few manage to realize that they are God's Children, which is to really mature, but then when we do we have to deal with "adults" of the world which means people who are preceived to be adults must be corrected by people preceived to be childish in world view...Elderly people and adults in general have done no more than accepted and grown accustomed to sin and they like it that way and do not intend to change and do not want to grow up or repent. These we call adults because they try to run one another's lives to ensure their right to sin. They do not deserve anyone's respect unless they honor the Truth about God and teach their children and grandchildren firmly about sin and its consequences. Most "adults" deserve no more than the younger generation's pity and mercy, and often engender their contempt and outright hatred.

It's a frustrating situation for all parties involved. It's not important who is to blame but that the system and lack of respect that it engenders is not of God and so dealing with it and people who honor it can be completely foreign to those who belong to Him and wish to be governed by Him. Someday we'll fix it, and I believe a great number of us are ready to do so. That's what I'm here for and it's difficult when the concern is focused on how to imprison your fellow man with debt and/or psychosis rather than free, enable and assist according to a Just Law and Order. The former allows our enemies to take advantage of the situation and retards the Whole, including our friends and family's ability to Unite and help each other. And it seems to me as if more often thannot, our friends and family side with our Enemy and the whole House falls apart unless we turn over our deeds and wills to thieves. I'd rather be imprisoned and enslaved by my enemies than by my own, but if it must be so, than our houses will crumble and our Way of Life diminished until at last we are no more. I'm not willing to partake in a criminal's kingdom. I'll serve no unjust master or whore, nor will I become one myself. Madness can be attractively enjoyable, but madness consumed, controlled, and conspired for is not madness at all, it's puke.

It is important to remember when deliberating social issues, that the wicked are policed by the wicked. Thus, the righteous employ the wicked in protecting their values, homes, and way of life, and must make certain concessions to the wicked law enforcer for their assistance and allegiance. There need be no comraderie betwixt the two, but rather an understanding and agreement weighed upon the balances of Justice and Mercy.

Just as the Righteous are devoted to and responsible for instructing their own, so the wicked are responsible for policing their own and do so with an equal if less honorable zeal.

I'm no one's Judge, and neither is Jesus. Someone's manner and way of being may reveal something to me that they may not even be aware of themselves and I may exploit it to whatever end I may if I so choose. I would never choose to do so, but many do.

I've never met a psychologist or psychiatrist who didn't seem depressed to me...I don't believe in labels beyond "Christian" and "Heathen." Even if neither are confirmed as such yet, these are the only two labels I use. I believe in simplicity and as such, either you are a Christian or you are a liar, and sometimes one may be both. The only way to tell the difference is righteous judgment.

1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

It is that simple. False Christians become ensnared in their own webs. And many are ignorant of being false of what it truly means to be a Christian and they must come to this realization or perish. It does often mean taking orders or doing things that you do not agree with or that do not make sense to you in the moment. That is the amount of Trust and Faith you can and must have in the LORD. For He is always with you and for you.

Anyone who trusts in Freudian logic is therefore suspect, but may be so in ignorance because they may believe Freud. Nothing sets me off like fraudulent intellectual superiority towards another, counting on overcoming an adversary simply because they are of a Christian fundamentalist mindset and then have the gall to claim to be Christian themselves. It lacks guts, which Christians have, and satan is want of...we are protected from these types and their "pet intellectual disenchantment" by our abiding belief in God, in the same way we are protected from the vicious hounds of hell, but they are not, so pray for them.

Sigmund Freud gave birth to a hateful lie that had more to do with him sucking on a cigar than any wisdom or knowledge he ever possessed.

Psychoanalysis, psychology, and psychiatry and any other branches of this lie depend heavily upon the misrepresentation of Christianity for its "theories," just as every other form of Quackery extant.

Find a Christian Doctor or therapist therefore. A physician.

Mar 2:17 When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

A person commanded to stand firm in Christ, who commits himself and gives his whole being over to obedience to God's Word, if ever led astray, could fall for any number of these supposed "theories."

Would anyone living in disobedience, apart from God and His Love become "manic" and /or "depressed," "schizophrenic," or "obsessive compulsive"?

You bet they would! Freud's gift to the world is therefore no more than the Jerry Springer Show!

And what is worse than these lies and their forms of "treatment," is that when one is taught that these affectations of the world, (and that is what they are, not "chemical imbalances" or "mind/personality disorders" though believing in them will certainly result in these states of being) these various states of being are "illnesses" that the subject has no control over and that they must seek help through "doctors" (quacks) and/or "experts" in these "fields of study," woe unto them! for they have fallen into the worst imaginable, most nefarious trap ever divised by the antichrist.

Get thee to church! Get thee to God, eat right, exercise, separate yourself from the world, and you will be made Whole.

A God/Christ complex is a supernatural and desirable complex to "suffer." Because one is becoming like Christ, part of His Body, the Spiritual Body of the Church of Christ- Pure, Powerful, Sinless, Undefiled, Miraculous, etc.

"Normalizing" illness and disease has led to nothing but ever more rampant illness and disease. Sinners do not need any more excuses than they already have! And as their numbers increase so do the numbers, and I like to call them "legions" of "quacks" and "cures."

I'm sorry if my vigilance and militant christian stance offends any, but it is way too late in the game to give ear to false sentimentality and superficial chatter. Both of these are harmful.

We are working to save souls, and that demands a brand of honesty that the world is not used to or comfortable with...but once you put on the armor of God yourself, you will feel more comfortable speaking in it and acting in it...You may find the world encroaches upon you more and more at every available opportunity and it may feel like to give in and give up and just go along with what everyone is doing would be easier.

People you've been comfortable around your whole life begin to make you uncomfortable and vice versa...hopefully, your change will embolden others to strive with you. A lot of the time, unfortunately, you're going to find yourself alone with God and alot of people are going to turn you away or turn away from you, but that does not mean you are on the wrong track.

It's okay to be alone. It's okay to turn away from the world and ignore it, in fact, it's demanded.

The Way is narrow...Not many are chosen though many are called...
Pseudo-Christians are the worst possible servants of the Beast that exist...and they make it very hard for real Christians to do the Work of the Lord...

Get right with God.

Living in the midst of wolves, snakes, and pigs etc. isn't easy, but I believe I've pulled it off without backing down nor joining the Zoo.

It's funny, we're born and we assume everyone around us is experiencing the same reality and that there are intelligent people here with you who would help you on your journey through "life" together. It is not often so, and sometimes a dangerous belief to hold. At best, we experience a parasitic love from others, who lie bold faced and smiling at you. They tell you what a great person you are while laughing hysterically inside at you.

Innocence, adoration and hapiness- I was a deep vast well of these three attributes...I'm afraid I'm drying up...

Luk 23:27-31 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

 

Eze 17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done [it].

Don't let the world drag you down...

"Do no expect Plato's ideal republic; be satisfied with even the smallest step forward and consider this no small achievement."-Marcus Aurealus

 

Don't be deceived by the simplicity of the Way in Christ, that is what causes doubt and confusion and many fall to the Enemy for it.

1 Ne. 17: 41 And he did straiten them in the wilderness with his rod; for they hardened their hearts, even as ye have; and the Lord straitened them because of their iniquity. He sent fiery flying serpents among them; and after they were bitten he prepared a way that they might be healed;and the labor which they had to perform was to look; and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished.

 

2 Cor. 11: 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

 

To not accept the Simplicity that is in Christ, is to entreat and abandon children to madness at conception. To not raise your children in the admonition of the LORD is hatred unredeemable. Even if you cannot live the Life yourself, to not admit to and point others toward Christ is cowardly and unforgivable.

This is what it's like trying to bring together irreconcilables and unforgiving, prideful, fearful, broken relationships with a patchwork of tattered, tainted ideals, empty promises, and faulty notions.

A fundamental change of allegiance and forgiveness of all, heals all instantaneously, though as of yet, much healing remains to be done...It places one and all, even the basest of men and women upon the road to Salvation. But it must begin at once, and with all due seriousness and resources available to those who are willing. It means protecting the innocent from the guilty with unrelenting love and abandon. Hating that which corrupts, even if it means hating yourself.

The American Dream is no substitute for the God Granted Reality, the one is empty and feed's off of the Other's Divine Right with wrong...and because the God Conceptualized Reality is a resurrecting, regenerating Force, it can keep the American Dream alive for as long as it takes to make a Faithful Bride out of a wayward wife and possibly even a whore. For each became so in error and desperation, never expecting nor desiring forgiveness and healing because the Pact brought a cunning survival in darkness and its works. But even in darkness the heart lives on and when Light shines upon it, feels remorse of soul and the realization of guilt and an overwhelming sadness of this loss begets a mighty Allegiance to the Right for those of peculiar strength and mindset...who consider Evil an Enemy even in bonds of. This is True Dog territory, where man's will becomes that of three modes of behavior: Kill, Work and At Ease...

The fundamental change begins in the Head whom the Nation betrayed with treachery, which change starts a chain reaction in everyman who is willing to take up the Standard of Liberty and claim his right to wed his lawfully wedded bride and humbly head his household.

 

Alma 46:34-37a Now, Moroni being a man who was appointed by the chief judges and the voice of the people, therefore he had power according to his will with the armies of the Nephites, to establish and to exercise authority over them.

And it came to pass that whomsoever of the Amalickiahites that would not enter into a covenant to support the cause of freedom, that they might maintain a free government, he caused to be put to death; and there were but few who denied the covenant of freedom.

And it came to pass also, that he caused the title of liberty to be hoisted upon every tower which was in all the land, which was possessed by the Nephites; and thus Moroni planted the standard of liberty among the Nephites.

And they began to have peace again in the land; and thus they did maintain peace in the land...

 

 

D&C 31:9 Be patient in afflictions, revile not against those that revile. Govern your house in meekness, and be steadfast.

So, as we've come full circle, if we want to beat "terrorism..." and not have to depend on military strength, and Hitler's wisdom...and if we want to fulfill Martin's"dream" or even Abbie's wisdom, we must be willing to strive with the Spirit, condemning ourselves when we fail, marking evil as evil, shunning sin and admitting what true strength and weakness is...never claiming anything but unworthiness at all times and in all circumstances, and that even if we could lead a perfect, spotless life, we owe everything and all to Him who made all and everything, and to deny Him is hatred and folly worse than any commited since the Fall.

 

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

 

Remember God chooses whom He will, whether man agrees with His choice or not, the man God chooses could be an oppressive schmuck in the eyes of the world, he could be a sinful seeming lecher, but God makes him worthy. Nothing we could ever do would make us worthy of Him. Maybe He does it just to frustrate the pride of holy men? Maybe He does it to prove the judgment of men entirely false and unworthy...After all, we are famous for judging and condemning men and women because of their actions which don't conform to our laws, but all the while God is considering the spirits and hearts, which none of us can see or have knowledge of until the afterlife, or Judgment Day.

 

Pro 16:2 All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

Dan 4:17 This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

 

1Cr 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

 

Rom 9:15-21 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus?

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

 

And why??? To show once and for all, in Jesus Christ that:

Isa 55:8-9 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 

And the Example set before us by the Head and Bridegroom? Impossible to follow and yet completely Just to All.

 

The unfailing consequence of blessings for righteous thoughts and acts, and punishment for unrepented sin. Justice is an eternal law that requires a penalty each time a law of God is broken,

Alma 42:10-24 Therefore, as they had become carnal, sensual, and devilish, by nature, this probationary state became a state for them to prepare; it became a preparatory state.
And now remember, my son, if it were not for the plan of redemption, (laying it aside) as soon as they were dead their souls were miserable, being cut off from the presence of the Lord.
And now, there was no means to reclaim men from this fallen state, which man had brought upon himself because of his own disobedience;
Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God.
And thus we see that all mankind were fallen, and they were in the grasp of justice; yea, the justice of God, which consigned them forever to be cut off from his presence.
And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also.
Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was eternal as the life of the soul should be, affixed opposite to the plan of happiness, which was as eternal also as the life of the soul.
Now, how could a man repent except he should sin? How could he sin if there was no law? How could there be a law save there was a punishment?
Now, there was a punishment affixed, and a just law given, which brought remorse of conscience unto man.
Now, if there was no law given—if a man murdered he should die—would he be afraid he would die if he should murder?
And also, if there was no law given against sin men would not be afraid to sin.
And if there was no law given, if men sinned what could justice do, or mercy either, for they would have no claim upon the creature?
But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.
But God ceaseth not to be God, and mercy claimeth the penitent, and mercy cometh because of the atonement; and the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into his presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice.
For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.

 

The sinner must pay the penalty if he does not repent,

Mosiah 2: 38-39 Therefore if that man repenteth not, and remaineth and dieth an enemy to God, the demands of divine justice do awaken his immortal soul to a lively sense of his own guilt, which doth cause him to shrink from the presence of the Lord, and doth fill his breast with guilt, and pain, and anguish, which is like an unquenchable fire, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever. And now I say unto you, that mercy hath no claim on that man; therefore his final doom is to endure a never-ending torment.

It seems unfair, a man cannot pay for his own sins, he must go through the Only Mediator.

If he does repent, the Savior pays the penalty through the Atonement, invoking mercy,

Alma 34: 16 And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles them in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto repentance is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice; therefore only unto him that has faith unto repentance is brought about the great and eternal plan of redemption.

The soul that sinneth shall die, Ezek. 18: 4. God will be just and forgive our sins, 1 John 1: 9.

1 Ne. 15: 30 And I said unto them that our father also saw that the justice of God did also divide the wicked from the righteous; and the brightness thereof was like unto the brightness of a flaming fire, which ascendeth up unto God forever and ever, and hath no end.

2 Ne. 9: 26 For the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice upon all those who have not the law given to them, that they are delivered from that awful monster, death and hell, and the devil, and the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment; and they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the Holy One of Israel..

Alma 42:25 What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, Nay; not one whit. If so, God would cease to be God.

Alma 54: 6 Behold, I would tell you somewhat concerning the justice of God, and the sword of his almighty wrath, which doth hang over you except ye repent and withdraw your armies into your own lands, or the land of your possessions, which is the land of Nephi.

D&C 82: 4 Ye call upon my name for revelations, and I give them unto you; and inasmuch as ye keep not my sayings, which I give unto you, ye become transgressors; and justice and judgment are the penalty which is affixed unto my law.

D&C 88: 40 For intelligence cleaveth unto intelligence; wisdom receiveth wisdom; truth embraceth truth; virtue loveth virtue; light cleaveth unto light; mercy hath compassion on mercy and claimeth her own; justice continueth its course and claimeth its own; judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne and governeth and executeth all things..

D&C 107: 84 Thus, none shall be exempted from the justice and the laws of God, that all things may be done in order and in solemnity before him, according to truth and righteousness.

 

Jesus' Example teaches the Ultimate Loophole...for all...

Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

You see, the way of the carnal world is to entreat innocence unto sin, but even therein the innocent shall be excused and forgiven and the world condemned for laying snares and traps and wanting to damn the souls of the innocent. All the while thinking themselves clever and justified, sayin "Aha! See he or she sins just like me, we're all damned!" Nay, ye are damned alone and doubly so for tresspass upon tresspass. The Righteous will save the innocent, and excuse sin, and make clean the filthy, while ye remain in your filth everlastingly...lest ye repent and learn Righteousness.

 

Mat 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

 

Martyrs and hustlers...

"If the choices in this world were between war and peace, only the mentally deranged would choose war, but life and politics are not that easy. The choice has always been between justice and injustice, oppression and resistence...Good tactitians will be those who best respond to the objective and potential conditions which they find themselves in."- Abbie Hoffman

"Wisdom born of experience should tell us that war is obselete. There may have been a time when war served as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force, but the destructive power of modern weapons eliminates even the possibility that war may serve as a negative good." -Martin Luther King Jr.

"They (Germans) wanted to run away from destiny, and it caught up with them. They dreamed of preserving world peace, and landed in World War...no people has ever with greater brutality better prepared its economic conquests with the sword and later ruthlessly defended them, than the English nation."-Adolf Hitler

Luk 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.

We must incorporate every people's way of life into the Way provided by Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, for there is no other Way given unto men by which we must be saved...The goal of America was Freedom not alienation but we sought freedom in that which was contrary...

Hel. 13: 37-39

Behold, we are surrounded by demons, yea, we are encircled about by the angels of him who hath sought to destroy our souls. Behold, our iniquities are great. O Lord, canst thou not turn away thine anger from us? And this shall be your language in those days.

But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.

O ye people of the land, that ye would hear my words! And I pray that the anger of the Lord be turned away from you, and that ye would repent and be saved.

Why are Abbie and Martin's words so empty? Abbie let everyone down beginning with himself, and Martin may have stolen every word he ever spoke from someone else, and he paid empty lip service to the most important Someone. He strove hard but he missed the mark, because he was betrayed by those around him...and why? Because he was betraying Someone...

That Era was so chock full of false prophets and witnesses it gave birth to the most absurdly hedonistic Era we have yet lived through...everyone became a con artist...

"I'm a martyr and a hustler..."

You can't be both, Abbie...Abbie, was just full of crap and everyone knew it...yet they found solace in a friendship with the world and an underworld drug culture that betrayed the country more than any other nation or enemy EVER will, these are and shall forever be this Nation's true Terrorists, and they brought it all on themselves...Who are the Abbie Hoffmans now? the Hollywood Bush haters...it's just like they did to Nixon, making a bumbling righteous man look like a criminal when he had no other choice because he was trying to protect the worthy children in this nation from these scumbags...It's history repeating, they betrayed the Right and the Holy like never before using people like Martin Luther King Jr. to pull the wool over the masses eyes, and move in so many directions directly opposed to the Will of Our Father in Heaven it all came to nothing but absurdity and betrayal on such a huge scale, no one had a friend or ally left...It was brilliantly done...what came out of it, was the hedonistic 80's and then the murderously insane late 90's and early 2000's...

The consequence of Abbie's behavior?

"Half the time I'm an egomaniac, the other half, I'm an insecure basketcase." Abbie's Nephew, my friend, Justin.

Martin was just too blind to the reality of what Evil is, evil is his "friend" Maya Angelou, but he could not see it, just as David didn't see Bathsheba was an evil. And those "modern weapons" did not "eliminate the possibility that war serve[s] as a negative good." It actually ensures such till Kingdom Come.

Abbie and Martin, and those like them, truly cared, but set up many to become sheep for the slaughter. Never laying down their lives for their brothers, but desiring the spotlight and societal freedoms that usher in sinful living on a grander scale. And "leaders" who were not at all moved by the love of Martin would see that these sheep would fulfill the Scripture:

Isa 3:12 [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

Which opens the gate for...

Pro 30:11-14 [There is] a generation [that] curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

[There is] a generation [that are] pure in their own eyes, and [yet] is not washed from their filthiness.

[There is] a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

[There is] a generation, whose teeth [are as] swords, and their jaw teeth [as] knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men.

And this gives us what we have today...

 

2Ti 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

Moving on....bring the healing...

Ether 12:3-18 For he did cry from the morning, even until the going down of the sun, exhorting the people to believe in God unto repentance lest they should be destroyed, saying unto them that by faith all things are fulfilled—

Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

And it came to pass that Ether did prophesy great and marvelous things unto the people, which they did not believe, because they saw them not.

And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.

For it was by faith that Christ showed himself unto our fathers, after he had risen from the dead; and he showed not himself unto them untilafter they had faith in him; wherefore, it must needs be that some had faith in him, for he showed himself not unto the world.

But because of the faith of men he has shown himself unto the world, and glorified the name of the Father, and prepared a way that thereby others might be partakers of the heavenly gift, that they might hope for those things which they have not seen.

Wherefore, ye may also have hope, and be partakers of the gift, if ye will but have faith.

Behold it was by faith that they of old were called after the holy order of God.

Wherefore, by faith was the law of Moses given. But in the gift of his Son hath God prepared a more excellent way; and it is by faith that it hath been fulfilled.

For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.

And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith; wherefore they first believed in the Son of God.

 

Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

Isa 42:22 But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

 

The white race was busy running all over the campuses of America and abroad trying to prove itself the master race, the other nations were running about trying to gain some kind of rights, trying to birth a false society of good works and intentions without God...few were looking to God for answers...What we produced was a bogus society built on the dreams of the few, and at the cost and energy of the many...where none could be healed and made right with God, and envy, lack and want was everywhere exploited, and then dealt with unjustly...

We have come up with more ways to make the crippled of the world comfortable and able to lead sinful lives. And medicine became big business, as did government...

This is not the Work of God...and although in certain cases, merciful, would not a man restored by Faith be worth more to himself and the world?

And lousy preachers working false miracles for money made it worse...and we dramatized any person's hardship and dysfunction and became totally bogus in political correctness, and went out reaping a harvest of the lame for blood...We didn't birth a new nation, we birthed a Whore's Dream come true...

Because while we were working to set up this calamity, she was selling her wares and calling every day Christmas, and "Santa" was every kid's Dad...What a collosal Abortion/Abomination!

No one asked "What would Jesus do?" They were too busy making merchandise and a cheap slogan out of the very notion for the generation to come in which they could sell Jesus out in so many damned ways it makes my head spin and my stomach sick...WWJD?

 

Mat 15:30-31 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

 

Where does He get off!?

Jhn 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

Of course the majority chose a thief and murderer when Jesus Preached the Gospel over 2000 years ago...and today?

Alma 10: 19 Yea, well did Mosiah say, who was our last king, when he was about to deliver up the kingdom, having no one to confer it upon, causing that this people should be governed by their own voices-yea, well did he say that if the time should come that the voice of this people should choose iniquity, that is, if the time should come that this people should fall into transgression, they would be ripe for destruction.

More on that in a moment, back to cripples...

Hbr 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

If we're going to make cripples comfortable and able, then let's give them jobs they could do in such a state and take the jobs away from those with able bodies and put them to work. Cushy desk jobs belong to those without legs!

Let's make one President, not like that phony chain-smoking bastard FDR, but some triathlete from the special olympics. Someone with a real zest for LIFE.

FDR is probably the number one reason we have so many cripples in America...and those who we hired or employed to take care of them naturally became criminals...They were expecting the rewards promised them by the Great Whore for their good service...so that no matter how honest and good and right their intentions were they were doomed and sabotaged as soon as they agreed to the "work."

What we did as Nation was forsake the Divine Magic within each and every one of us, more than forsake, we betrayed It and sold It for a cheap whore's magic and the allure of vanity in age and death...for such is the stuff that dreams are made of and reality rejected...

So that every nation came to America and lost that which made them unique as a nation and this was good at first, because it is this that made the early settlers Great. The suffering humbled them and set them at a wise pace in the Lord. They had no ability to rush forward in sin like we do today, and they were humbled and made to feel and look foolish more often than not, and they overcame a great deal of weakness because of the Godly lifestyle they were forced to live to succeed at all...Their Strength was in Holiness, Humility, Repentance and Trust. They knew and believed in the Promises of the LORD, displacing heathen nations before them because they were Holy even as He is Holy, but when they became sinful they tried to make Him sinful as well, and what do they always find out?

2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

So our Nation made strong founded on the principle that it was good to overcome national pride in favor of Holiness, Unity, Restoration, Mercy and Reconciliation was weakened by the birth of a different sort of pride. Because all these things, holiness, etc. are impossible in transgression and sin, so the more sin increased the more an ugly sort of corrosive pride was birthed in denial and people sought comfort and safety in resorting to a militant ignorant national pride, but nothing was pure about it, thus our hatred was redoubled upon ourselves and for ourselves and we fed fire with fire...

So we've come to the point we are at, where the larger number of us, feel like crap and everyday is a struggle to get through. Just to do what needs to be done is a major back breaking chore because our backs are broken and we can't or wont rest for them to heal...Who can help us?

Aha! the Divine Right Party...These are sons and daughters of God who have not fallen in with the world. They are strong, in body and mind and cannot only govern and direct but Initiate through Faith and Action in Him.They've been doing it all along, not paying attention to the world and its madness...

But the world needs them now, to Lead.

Because of eons of regeneration, we in human form have a need for a Leader...a Head, someone to fill the Offices predestined them. Democracy is a farce. Republicanism has been sold out. We needed a much more drastic change than democrat to republican in the last election...A "Green Party" is not a viable option and possesses no Authority.

We don't need a separation of Church and State, we need a demolition of both and a Structure of Government and Nation whose very Lifeblood flows from the miraculous, Authoritative, Powerful Head of God, and His Disciples must be reborn, and Saints must Judge, Disciples must act, and every knee must bow and accept this Authority to Restore All.

We need term limits for everyone no matter what your profession, which Scripture teaches us are more often than not skills acquired in idleness. This is especially true in the Church which has felt the same dismal kind of funk or stagnancy as the rest of the world because of so-called apostles and priests remaining in positions that really no one has a right to...There is One Head for all walks of life...Whether you are a President, Priest, Husband, trash collector, whatever, you're all to be acting for One Head...and everyone who knows Him or will or ought to must Unite and Stand Together, and those who don't, and will not be converted or enslaved ought to be rejected, smitten and driven out.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with and absolutely fundamental and essential about right judgment and intolerance of that which corrupts the Spirit in the world. The Kingdom of Evils must be vanquished! These are ignorance, vice, crime, disease, poverty, corruption, and aggressiveness...among others...

You see, this is not a anarchic change for the worse, this is a change to order, but not oppression, of which there are many flavors, and we've tasted many particularly unhealthy ones in this nation...We've also tasted of that incomparable Liberty that comes from God when we've agreed to strive with the Spirit.

2 Ne. 26: 11 For the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man. And when the Spirit ceaseth to strive with man then cometh speedy destruction, and this grieveth my soul.

The D.R.P. has already materialized, and if because of the world's unruliness, fails to come together and form a Holy Community of sorts, will always exist in Its members...a not so secret society that boldly goes on making small advances for His Kingdom, until all children everywhere come to the realization that that is what they are and that they can and must be His Children.

 

 

 

 

Hitch a Ride to Vote

Forming the D.R.P. or Divine Right Party is really not necessary except in a physical sense. I mean it's always been in a Spiritual Sense, and nothing will ever compromise that Body. But here, in the realm of senses and elemental chaos, we sometimes have need for structuring and gathering and forming ourselves in ways that make us more comfortable or safe and capable of carrying out what we have perfect knowledge of in the Spiritual, but which reality and its natural order of being sometimes makes difficult to materialize, but which is also the reward of coming together and doing the Work. What I'm trying to say is that bringing forth Works of Righteousness is made difficult by our base needs and wants and bringing them about in this context can be war, against ourselves, our brethren, our enemies, and allies alike...so perhaps forming this other worldly "political party" is just what we need.

A form of government that works apart and separate from the world's governmental nonsense, yet within the same Realm and with respect for that government. This world's government is and has always been fundamentally antichrist. The Beast or Government of men has no allegiance to God no matter what they say or do. And if they claim it, you can be sure, they are the opposite.

The D.R.P. would possess the Sovereign Right to Reign that George Bush recently tried to claim for his band of merry Texans and their financiers...

The D.R.P. would be a group of Divinely Appointed and Anointed Representatives from every walk of life in a shared "Presidency." These would not be Holy Rollers, nor Holy Phonies, but the real McCoys.

Their Works would prove them worthy and their lifestyles and words must and would confirm them.

We would very much need to be gathered and what I almost want to say is quarantined from the rest of society in a perfect setting brought about and maintained by the labors and love of the less than worthy, who are made worthy in the only way in which they are willing to be, by willingly laboring for different gifts or rewards, which are more for slaves and debtors. Thus we would give Christ a Way to Reign in the context in which He described Himself as being born into.

Jhn 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Jhn 18:36-37b Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

"Works" are not what our labors produce, or what bring us money or praise of the world. Works are miracles or the miraculous exhibited by the Power of God Working in Us.

As you can see, christians are not christians because they gather on Sunday and share coffee, tea and cake after they have listened to a short spin doctoring of the Holy Scriptures, or read a book by the latest helpbook, fiction or what have you christian "author." They are not christians because of how many buildings they own and how many proselytes they have converted to one "ism" or another. They are Christians, and often unaware of being so, because God indwells them and Works in them what He Wills in the world for His Glory.

Upon Judgment Day, I have no doubt many people we consider to be christians and saints and miracle workers will be found to be false, and many we have judged as criminals, tyrants, and madmen will be found to be Prophets and Children of the Most High.

The DRP would be something like the United Nations only not so bogus and illegit. And the War Machine that is this Nation's Military would be Validated by Our Leadership.

Rather than divide and conquer, Christians must Unite and Reign.

The best way to fight the War on Terror is to cease from partaking in terror inducing substances and behaviors in your own sphere of Creation here at home, and drive it out with Godliness when it tries to come into your sphere.

Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Entreat the devil with your willingness to sin and you bring terror upon yourself.

It's that simple.

Big Boys have got to be willing to admit that that is what they are, not men, but big boyz...And that what a man is can't even be clearly defined in the present reality, but is what we shall mold out of the next generation's willingness to strive in Holiness for the Highest Honors and Dignities, which contrary to the way of the world, come from humility towards your fellows and service to those unworthy of and prayers for those who hate Us.

The last thing we need is another rich fellow made president, born and reared, like a beast, taught to speak and spew forth lies and rhetoric unto his fellow man in order to dupe and control the masses.

If such is what we need to control the mob from below, then such must be, but we who originate from above have a different Way of ordering ourselves.

I wrote a book back in 1995 or so in which I claimed Bill Clinton was unfit to run a nation because the closest he had ever come to suicide was breakfast at McDonald's which was proof that he could not lead Her in any direction but backwards, and now I find this week that he is having bypass surgery...

I shared that book with the wrong people and being entirely naive and trusting at that point, I believed in the Publishing world, and the world of politics, and business and everything else in this grand facade we call the U.S. of A.

What I came to realize in my years of sorrow, desperation and suicidal morosity following the let down of not being immediately hailed as worthy, was that there is a real and marvelous Nation worthy of so much Praise and Honor here in the same U.S. of A. that it makes any amount of betrayal and suffering quite worth the trouble. The Spirit of this Nation's heroes and heroines, no matter how blackened by the ugliness of sin, is something unique in all of Creation. Unmatched by any Nation or People I've yet to encounter.

Which brings me to my next point and a recourse of action requested of ALL, that will affirm my notion that most of you are really willing to do what it takes to rebuild this nation that will take what remains of the good old fashioned red, white and blue guts this nation has been built upon to pull off, I'm talking about intestinal fortitude, my brother's and sisters.

The pledge is simply this: come election week 2004, we stop business as usual. Just stop for a day, a single day, I'm not asking for much, one freaking day in all of the time in all of Creation, not an annual holiday, not a week of Holy observances, just a single day to affirm the fact that we still have Faith in Our Creator and in one another. For a day, nobody buys nothing, nobody sells nothing, nobody cooks nothing, nobody eats nothing, nobody wants nothing, but everybody gets something. Go and vote that week, if you really believe in that nonsense, but otherwise on this week's Sabbath confine yourself to your room for the entire day and pray. Pray ceaselessly for one entire day, 24 hours from sunset to sunset.

The next day, you can go back to whatever you call a "life," and carry on as usual, but for this ONE DAY, you are His.

And if it doesn't happen in 2004, prehaps it will in 2008, or 2012, or...

I happen to do this every Sabbath, but I'm not asking that of you, all I'm asking is ONE DAY in your entire Lifetime, for you to be quietly thoughtful and considerate of that Power and Being that Created all things.

Begin preparing now, stock up on canned goods and duct tape, it's not like it will be that difficult, it's one day.

This Sabbath begins on Friday Evening and ends at the same time on Saturday Evening. Mark it on your calendar now, November...5/6. It would be great if this is the start of a new weekly observance for you, and His Word does state that His People do keep Sabbath, and this is how we mark one another, not because we see each other at church but because we humbly observe Sabbath in the Sanctuary that is our home, with our loved ones. You can really do it however you want to, it helps to have a Bible, to read from It, to say some prayers, to enjoy your family and self for a day. Not doing as you please, not working at all. This is not a day to kick back and watch TV or work on an addition to your home. I take a walk around the block every Sabbath day about halfway through the Day and I mark those who are out in their yards doing work or whatever, I know they don't belong to Him and it saddens me. This is His Day, not yours, though it were made for you, as a Gift from God.

I enjoy Church on Sunday for fellowship but I know better than to consider it Sabbath, and I know His Word never commanded anyone to gather on Sunday. I just do so for community strengthening and getting to know my neighbors.

Now, if you are willing to do this much, the following week, add what you learned on this Sabbath to your regular routine, and the week after that add something else, or stop doing something you know you ought not to do because you learned about it on Sabbath...and keep this up every week, and eventually, it will be natural to you to walk as Jesus did...Study to show thyself approved...You read the Scriptures, and you mark the Truth and you carry it out in your life...That's knowing God. That's a Relationship. That's Love.

When you strive for and become Perfect, whoever is in the White House will not matter at all...You will be the President. Because without this country's youth behind them, they don't exist, or may as well not, but in your willingness to act like the god you are meant to be, you will give even the basest of them a reason to exist, though they may not enjoy it as much as they enjoyed sacrificing your right to be who you are and can be in Him, they will have no choice if you act like Him, and they may grow to hate you, but they will have no choice but to respect you and judge according to your righteousness. You are now really demanding to be heard, not just casting a totally meaningless "vote." But invoking your Sovereign Right as a Child of the Most High to Reign in this world as such.

On the other hand, and this is what they are breaking their backs to ensure the outcome of; with this country's youth behind them, believing all their lies and empty promises, they will continue to feed off of their own children, whether they realize it and admit it or not, only they and God know, and I'm fine with giving them the benefit of the doubt, but once they've heard His Voice in you and what's more, seen Him Acting in You, if they do not give honor where it is due, they strip themselves of the right to speak and act.

I'm quite sick of the elderly. Sure, I have compassion for them and always will appreciate them, especially if they claim Christ, and I will always take care of them, but the right to reign is not theirs anymore. The so-called wisdom of age, is largely a farce without Christ.

Mat 18:2-7 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Wisdom is keeping the Commandments and walking humbly with the LORD, your God.

Do you want what's yours? Do you want complete creative freedom to grow in this life? Then do these things and you shall have this Spirit of Liberty.

You understand where I'm coming from? Straight from the Heart, straight at the Heart and straight up of the Heart of America. Because as faithless and loveless as any of Her people have ever become, His Love and Blessing has never left Her, and that is what has always made Her the Great Nation She is.

You can't help your parents and grandparents if you are willing to be duped by them. Hate them if you must, forgive them if you can, but do not let them use you or fool you, love them righteously as you wish to receive the same. And if they really teach you righteousness and correct you as they ought, love them passionately.

 

Hbr 12:9-10 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness.

The LORD hath given you a marvelous Mind and Spirit, use It well. Decide for yourself what is right and wrong about the government's agenda, and do what you know to be right. Your decision, if it comes from Him, can in no way, shape or form, impinge, infringe, or encroach upon your neighbor's right to freedom and happiness, and if it helps them realize why they are not enduring the promised freedom and happiness of the Constitution, then Alleluia! and By George, I think they've got it! They can do as they please, but they can't make you do a thing, until you let them by playing their game...The only thing that could be possibly as good, or better than the current system of government in this nation would be the exact opposite. That's not an anarchic statement, either. Rather it is a truly revolutionary one that would really set the pace for the entire world, because THAT is what this country was REALLY founded for and to become- The World's Soul. Think of it, Wars would become Parties and Dances, and...Jubilees! The homeless would become homeowners and builders. The unemployed-gainfully employed. If only we could replace politics with honesty and integrity. Which is precisely why we must hearken back to a system of Judges like that of the Bible. I'm talking about eliminating crime by going straight to the source, the law. We abolish the automobile as a means of transportation, slowly of course, but yes, it must be eliminated and replaced, because it doesn't make any sense and is killing more people than it is enabling. Think about it...we go crazy if we don't have an automobile. The thing is a hugely overpriced coffin. The only decent thing the automobile ever produce for humankind is those "Drive Slow Children" signs...People are in such a rush these days, it's quite lunatic! Where are we going? No one wants to wait in line, and when they get to the front of the line, they've forgotten why they got in line to begin with! It doesn't matter, just find me another line to get to the front of, I wanna be first...Oops!

Mar 9:35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all.

We've become a Nation of vapid channel changing, mouse clicking, drive-thru lane using morons! This is not our Heritage! This is an insult and open handed slap in the face to every man and woman who ever died or lived for this Nation in the name of God our Creator to get us this far...We're defecating on ourselves...There exist drive-thru liquor stores! We can't die fast enough...Please Slow Hell down...No, I didn't omit a word there, please Slow Hell Down...You don't want to be there and neither do those who have gone before you. The only place you have to be at any given time is where you are because that is where you are... No matter where you are, there you go...stop yourself and say Hello. If we slow our pace we can save our Race. Slogans? I got a million of 'em, folks, but that's not what I'm here for. I'm not a bull slinger, I'm not running for office, I don't want anything from you. I want what is best for you.

What happened to the horse? What was wrong with the friggin' horse? I would bring back the horse and buggy in a HUGE way! Man invented the wheel, Genius! Then he got carried away...

Improve your atmosphere, slow down...Seriously, if we are to succeed or progress as a Nation any further, we are going to have to give up certain privileges that were never rights but made so by law not as a matter of freemen concerned for their fellows but as a matter of slaveholders posing as Politicians, who abolished Just Slavery of the Few to welcome in Unjust Slavery of the Many, hoping quite boldly for the All...Nonetheless, we have a Way out...we must use It. Take a new Yoke upon yourself and live at Liberty...

Let those who need to drive, drive, the truckdrivers, the people who deliver your mail, etc. But what need have you, with a computer in your home office, a pool in your backyard, a phone, a television, and a family and community in which to live your life as obnoxiously as you please to have a car to toot about town, from burgerhut to burgerhut? A lot of people spend more time, money and concern on their cars then they do on their children, and that is why though we have the "right" to drive wherever we please, we are in prison cells, slaves to an insane master, who we voted into office when we signed the agreement to purchase the over-priced piece of recycled scrap metal, complete with insurance (obnoxiously high), gas prices, tickets, those little scented trees, the cost of having your ride Pimped...Forget them, leave them to rust, leave your keys in the bastards in your driveways and share the blasted things! If you wake up some morning and your car is gone, take your neighbor's...and he'll take his, and so on, and so on...Pick up hitchhikers and hang out, it'll be groovy!

As for me and my House, we shall serve the LORD.

Obviously, I don't expect people to give up their driving privileges overnight, but we've got to start somewhere, so why not make a conscious effort to limit your use of your auto? We could make it LAW that none shall drive superfluously, on official roadways...Anyone who wants to drive for the sheer pleasure of driving we could set up race tracks for and scenic routes marked off for just such purposes...Anyone pulled over that does not have an adequate excuse for driving, would be arrested on the spot and charged with the act of buffoonery and his or her license would be revoked indefinitely...One would have to call the Registry of Motor Vehicles in order to gain permission to drive anywhere, schedule appointment, and it would HAVE to be a damned good reason. Otherwise, as your location permits, take a trolleycar or subway, ride a bike, skateboard, rollerblade, whatever, anything that does not require gas to put you in motion...

Stay tuned...in my next entry, I ban commercialism...

But seriously, we who belong to the LORD can't be dragged down to the level of insanity that the world has accepted as the "norm." They'll only drag you down and beat you with experience...

Luk 16:1-13 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it thatI hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

Then the steward said within himself,What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

So he called every one of his lord's debtors [unto him], and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
