We direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those <br />vices of which it is least in danger and fix its approval on the virtue nearest <br />to that vice which we are trying to make endemic. The game is to have them <br />running about with fire extinguishers whenever there is a flood, and all <br />crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gunwale under. Thus we <br />make it fashionable to expose the dangers of enthusiasm at the very moment when <br />they are all really becoming worldly and lukewarm; a century later, when we are <br />really making them all Byronic and drunk with emotion, the fashionable outcry is <br />directed against the dangers of the mere "understanding". Cruel ages are put on <br />their guard against Sentimentality, feckless and idle ones against <br />Respectability, lecherous ones against Puritansm; and whenever all men are <br />really hastening to be slaves or tyrants we make Liberalism the prime bogey. <br />But the greatest triumph of all is to elevate his horror of the Same Old Thing <br />into a philosophy so that nonsense in the intellect may reinforce corruption in <br />the will. <br /><br />It is here that the general Evolutionary or Historical character of <br />modern European thought (partly our work) comes in so useful. The Enemy loves <br />platitudes. Of a proposed course of action He wants men, so far as I can see, to <br />ask very simple questions; is it righteous? is it prudent? is it possible? Now <br />if we can keep men asking "Is it in accordance with the general movement of our <br />time? Is it progressive or reactionary? Is this the way that History is going?" <br />they will neglect the relevant questions. And the questions they do ask are, of <br />course, unanswerable; for they do not know the future, and what the future will <br />be depends very largely on just those choices which they now invoke the future <br />to help them to make. As a result, while their minds are buzzing in this vacuum, <br />we have the better chance to slip in and bend them to the action we have decided <br />on. And great work has already been done. Once they knew that some changes were <br />for the better, and others for the worse, and others again indifferent. We have <br />largely removed this knowledge. For the descriptive adjective "unchanged" we <br />have substituted the emotional adjective "stagnant". We have trained them to <br />think of the Future as a promised land which favoured heroes attain—not as <br />something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever <br />he does, whoever he is, <br />Your affectionate uncle<br /> <br />SCREWTAPE</i> <br /><br />http://www.mylibrarybook.com/<br />books/676/C.S-Lewis/The-Screwtape<br />-Letters-10.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-13058426885005880002010-11-29T00:48:39.373-05:002010-11-29T00:48:39.373-05:00Anonymous 10:20 P.M.
From THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS b...Anonymous 10:20 P.M.<br /><br />From <b>THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS</b> by C.S. Lewis<br /><br /><b>MY DEAR WORMWOOD,</b><br /> <br /><i>The real trouble about the set your patient is living in is that it is merely <br />Christian. They all have individual interests, of course, but the bond remains <br />mere Christianity. What we want, if men become Christians at all, is to keep <br />them in the state of mind I call <b>"Christianity And".</b> You know—Christianity and <br />the Crisis, Christianity and the New Psychology, Christianity and the New Order, <br />Christianity and Faith Healing, Christianity and Psychical Research, <br />Christianity and Vegetarianism, Christianity and Spelling Reform. If they must <br />be Christians let them at least be Christians with a difference. Substitute for <br />the faith itself some Fashion with a Christian colouring. Work on their horror <br />of the Same Old Thing. <br />The horror of the Same Old Thing is one of the most valuable passions we have <br />produced in the human heart—an endless source of heresies in religion, folly in <br />counsel, infidelity in marriage, and inconstancy in friendship. The humans live <br />in time, and experience reality successively. To experience much of it, <br />therefore, they must experience many different things; in other words, they must <br />experience change. And since they need change, the Enemy (being a hedonist at <br />heart) has made change pleasurable to them, just as He has made eating <br />Pleasurable. But since He does not wish them to make change, any more than <br />eating, an end in itself, He has balanced the love of change in them by a love <br />of permanence. He has contrived to gratify both tastes together on the very <br />world He has made, by that union of change and permanence which we call Rhythm. <br />He gives them the seasons, each season different yet every year the same, so <br />that spring is always felt as a novelty yet always as the recurrence of an <br />immemorial theme. He gives them in His Church a spiritual ear; they change from <br />a fast to a feast, but it is the same feast as before. <br />Now just as we pick out and exaggerate the pleasure of eating to produce <br />gluttony, so we pick out this natural pleasantness of change and twist it into a <br />demand for absolute novelty. This demand is entirely our workmanship. If we <br />neglect our duty, men will be not only contented but transported by the mixed <br />novelty and familiarity of snowdrops this January, sunrise this morning, plum <br />pudding this Christmas. Children, until we have taught them better, will be <br />perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeed <br />hopscotch as regularly as autumn follows summer. Only by our incessant efforts <br />is the demand for infinite, or unrhythmical, change kept up. <br />This demand is valuable in various ways. In the first place it diminishes <br />pleasure while increasing desire. The pleasure of novelty is by its very nature <br />more subject than any other to the law of diminishing returns. And continued <br />novelty costs money, so that the desire for it spells avarice or unhappiness or <br />both. And again, the more rapacious this desire, the sooner it must eat up all <br />the innocent sources of pleasure and pass on to those the Enemy forbids. Thus by <br />inflaming the horror of the Same Old Thing we have recently made the Arts, for <br />example, less dangerous to us than perhaps, they have ever been, "low-brow" and <br />"high-brow" artists alike being now daily drawn into fresh, and still fresh, <br />excesses of lasciviousness, unreason, cruelty, and pride.</i> <br /><br />cont...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-66373459927063642462010-11-09T08:19:27.692-05:002010-11-09T08:19:27.692-05:00http://www.newswithviews.com/Spingola/deanna125.ht...http://www.newswithviews.com/Spingola/deanna125.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-25587980919573676872010-11-08T00:25:47.432-05:002010-11-08T00:25:47.432-05:00Thanks for the appreciation.

What they are and where they are I do not intend to say. I would point out, however, that Palestine should no longer be called the Holy Land; its sacred places are only the passing relics of three dead and gone religions. The spirit has gone out of the old faiths and the true spiritual light is transferring itself into a new form which will manifest on earth eventually as the new world religion. To this form all that is true and right and good in the old forms will contribute, for the forces of right will withdraw that good, and incorporate it in the new form. Judaism is old, obsolete and separative and has no true message for the spiritually-minded which cannot be better given by the newer faiths; the Moslem faith has served its purpose and all true Moslems await the coming of the Imam Mahdi who will lead them to light and to spiritual victory; the Christian faith also has served its purpose; its Founder seeks to bring a new Gospel and a new message that will enlighten all men everywhere. Therefore, Jerusalem stands for nothing of importance today, except for that which has passed away and should pass away. The "Holy Land" is no longer holy, but is desecrated by selfish interests, and by a basically separative and conquering nation.<br /><br />The task ahead of humanity is to close the door upon this worst and yet secondary evil and shut it in its own place. There is enough for humanity to do in transmuting planetary evil without undertaking to battle with that which the Masters Themselves can only keep at bay, but [755] cannot conquer. The handling of this type of evil and its dissipation, and therefore the release of our planet from its danger, is the destined task of Those Who work and live in "the center where the Will of God is known," at Shamballa; it is not the task of the Hierarchy or of humanity. Remember this, but remember also that what man has loosed he can aid to imprison; this he can do by fostering right human relations, by spreading the news of the approach of the spiritual Hierarchy, and by preparing for the reappearance of the Christ. Forget not also, the Christ is a Member of the Great Council at Shamballa and brings the highest spiritual energy with Him. Humanity can also cease treading the path to the "door where evil dwells" and can remove itself and seek the Path which leads to light and to the Door of Initiation."<br /><br />I for one hope to avoid playing into this New Age game plan of pitting all monotheists violently against each other so that they Aryan, blue-eyed pagans can be the Phoenix to arise from our ashes. Eventually it will happen. It is prophesied. But I have no desire to help it along. Jesus said, IT IS INEVITABLE BUT THAT EVIL COME, BUT WOE TO HIM THROUGH WHOM IT COMES."<br /><br />I deeply respect OMOTS and his opinions, but I believe this time he has not seen this aspect of the New Age picture and how close he and others who are like minded are coming to acting out that portion of THE ARMAGEDDON SCRIPT -- pitting "Old Ager" against "Old Ager." I further suspect the agent saboteur (whom I strongly suspect to be Rick Abanes acting on behalf of Rick Warren) has to have deep connections with what he purports to battle here inasmuch as John Esposito is closely connected to the very people Rick Warren works so closely with at the World Economic Forum as well as the ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS.<br /><br />ConstanceConstance Cumbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181096121385621574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-21163596018531655742010-11-05T23:02:51.250-04:002010-11-05T23:02:51.250-04:00Anonymous 10:20

I don't think there is a reality show called "Perfect People" where no one analyzes information and just gets pumped full of thinking one way. While I have my differences with Constance, she has done more good to warn others what is going on an international level than some little sweetie who sits in a church pew singing hymns. <br /><br />Do you really think that New Age information is so seductive that no one can escape it's draw? Do you really think that because Constance differs with you in one area her soul is corrupted? I've heard that stupid argument more than once from New Age sources who attempt to stop others from researching what is going on. <br /><br />People who look into what is going on aren't easily suckered by cult leaders who tell them they have the WAY. <br /><br />Based on following the blog for years, I'm saying that readers here aren't seduced by Christian cults or any other kind of cult. They want to know what is going on. Some of it is false information that is posted in the comments and there are other things they can check out from multiple sources, proving them true.<br /><br />If you feel yourself so weak that you are afraid to use the brain God gave you, then run quickly away, into some safe house. Just don't assume everyone is like you.<br /><br />Thirty years of heavy research only makes me more secure in my religious beliefs.<br /><br />DorothyDorothynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-33715771182730523962010-11-05T23:01:25.063-04:002010-11-05T23:01:25.063-04:00PLEASE READ AND COMMENT BACK TO ME:

It might well be that they have received a DIFFERENT GOSPEL, which in the case of Islam, they clearly have. The anathema would be on those sending the different gospel, not necessarily on those who received it in good faith. In the case of religions such as Buddhism, New Age, Hinduism, there is no representation that this is the SAME GOD -- they clearly are worshiping a different God <br /><br />"those who worship Idols worship demons . . ."<br /><br />There is open rejection of God the Father in the non-monotheistic religions.

I believe the points in this video, 'Calling All Calvinists, A Call to Repentance, are not to be dismissed because of her heresy in other videos, but, on the contrary must be much more scrutinised, for myself, believing in Sola Scriptura, the Holy Bible alone should be our guide. <br />HOWEVER, I have seen the 'Seven Spirits of God' video Monica has made, and it is heretical and, I believe she has also [probably unintentionally] blasphemed.<br /><br /> I use the adjective 'unintentionally' here, because some understanding is needed of how other languages may, for no apparently logical reason, denote nouns to be feminine, masculine or neuter ( e.g., la table ((the table)) in French is Feminine, der Garten ((the garden))in German is Masculine), and more importantly here, Hebrew, which also uses masculine and feminine articles and suffixes to denote non-personal nouns as well as personal ones. <br />[Obviously, in English we generally only use the masculine & feminine gender to denote persons, and to a lesser extent animals, although, in poetics, gender be used as an act of grammatical generosity (e.g., a ship is often refered to as 'she')].<br />It seems to me, Monica has drawn her false and heretical conclusions by her misunderstanding and misapplication of the Hebrew word, ruach, [which may be translated in English as spirit or as breath or as wind].<br />“The gender of a word and the sex of the referrent are not the same thing. For example, the word "stone" in Hebrew ('even) is feminine, but that doesn't mean that rocks in Israel are female!” <br /><br />“The word ruach in Genesis 1:2 is not necessarily best translated "Spirit." It also might be translated as "breath" or "wind." Moreover ruach is not always feminine in gender in the Hebrew Bible; for instance, in Numbers 11:31, it is masculine (as elsewhere, e.g., Isaiah 57:16). In other words, the gender for the word ruach seems to shift, and some grammars therefore call ruach a "common gender," by which it means it can take either a masculine or feminine verb, even though Hebrew does not have a "neuter" gender like Greek does.” <br /><br />http://www.hebrew4christians.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=151&t=1013<br /><br /> It is true that a child, who understands the relevant Hebrew, can understand Holy Scripture in Hebrew, similarly, a child who understands the relevant Aramaic can understand Holy Scripture in Aramaic, and a child who understands the relevant Greek can understand Holy Scripture in that language also. It is therefore necessary if one wants to properly understand what is written or said in a given language to have SUFFICIENT understanding and knowledge of the relevant language. I believe that Monica has at the very least not considered this, and has not fully sought out the matter, when deciding to consult Biblical passages in Hebrew and Greek. I hope it is not more sinister than this, yet it must be stated that it is worrying that she chose not to suspend judgement and therefore came to the false and heretical conclusions she has expressed in her video ‘Seven Spirits of God’<br /> Thank you once again for making me aware of this. I shall be writing to Monica about her heresies and how she most likely came to such wrong conclusions in the hope that she will repent of such and refute them, so that she has a choice not to continue to go astray through a lack of knowledge.<br /><br />May God bless you mightily for your informing me and others about this issue regarding Monica.<br /><br />R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-73229785877909494722010-11-05T10:31:41.445-04:002010-11-05T10:31:41.445-04:00http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/1...<a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/140475" rel="nofollow">http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/140475</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-71670841615048838322010-11-05T09:24:22.535-04:002010-11-05T09:24:22.535-04:00Pentacost
The feast of Pentacost was instituted
...Pentacost<br /><br />The feast of Pentacost was instituted <br />by God to Moses in Leviticus 23:15-21<br />It began with the Feast of Firstfruits<br />and counted seven Sabbaths (50 days)<br />hence "Penta" -cost.<br /><br />There are seven Feasts that Jehovah <br />God instituted for Israel to observe<br />and celebrate "every year by and<br />ordinance forever."<br />See: Exodus 12 and Leviticus 23 <br />and 25, as well as Numbers 29.<br />All seven of the Feasts of the Lord <br />are perfectly FULFILLED by Jesus<br />and his work on earth. <br />As far as Pentacost goes, Jesus<br />became the Firstfruits of a NEW <br />CREATION; (The new Adam), <br />when he arose from the dead. <br />He then remained on earth for<br />fifty days teaching his disciples<br />and opening up the scriptures<br />to them before he ascended into <br />heaven, and it was at that point<br />that the Father sent the Holy <br />Spirit, which is also known as <br />the Spirit of Truth; (Acts 1&2).<br /><br />Without the Spirit of Truth we <br />would all, laymen and clergy, <br />be clueless regarding Gods' <br />Holy Word.<br />With the Holy Spirit, the Bible<br />becomes understandable to the <br />average person in varying degrees<br />depending on how much The <br />Spirit of Truth decides to reveal.<br /><br />Some people say that we could <br />never understand the depth of the <br />Bible and that we need the Church<br />to understand it for us.<br />I disagree and maybe that's the <br />primary thing that makes me a<br />Protestant. That same Spirit of<br />Truth informs me that there are <br />Roman Catholics who also believe<br />deeply and that they are my <br />brothers and sisters in Christ.<br />God can teach people his Truth<br />any way He wants to, and not <br />everyone learns things the same<br />way.<br />Peter was hardly a scholar. He was <br />a fisherman. But in the power <br />of the Holy Ghost he understood<br />and was filled, not only with <br />wisdom, but power. <br /><br />Thanks for letting me use your<br />megaphone Constance.paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-33197026318666733272010-11-05T06:45:16.874-04:002010-11-05T06:45:16.874-04:00You might want to check out a little more about Mo...You might want to check out a little more about Monica Dennington.<br />http://www.watchmanscry.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7471Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
