Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano warns of New World Religion dangers - Guest article by Richard Peterson

To my readers:  Our long-time "Rich of Medford" known in real life as Richard Peterson and I have held many long and serious conversations on New World Religion developments.  One of the three main goals of the New Age Movement that I have observed and documented starting with my discovery of same in 1981 is their push for 3 main items:  

  1. 1.  New World Order
  2.     2.  New World Religion
  3.     3.  New world messiah -- one they cheerfully for the most part admit is NOT Jesus.

Alice Bailey wrote at length in her The Externalisation of the Hierarchy about these aims.  The New World Religion and a shared belief in interconnection of everything and "the only sin is the sin of separation" were central, she said, to the world's coming acceptance of "The Reappearance of the Christ".  

Richard Peterson has rightfully observed that courageous Archbishop Vigano has been giving solemn warnings that this may now be occurring with help from the present head of the Holy See -- the Vatican -- Pope Francis.  I invited him to use my forum to convey his     perspective on Archbishop Vigano's recent statements and actions.

Stay tuned!

Archbishop Carlo Vigano Sounds New World Religion Alarms

by Richard Peterson (Our 'Rich of Medford')

Recently Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò penned this warning that the Deep State and Church will bring about a new world religion and order.  His piece struck a chord with me.  It verbalizes much of what I had previously written regarding interfaith initiatives and religions’ role in the war against terrorism.  The Alliance of Civilizations and its implementation partners advanced themes such as religion would be used to dismantle undesirable religion; the separation of church and state would be set aside; religious exclusivists would be forever banished.

 

While I am not Catholic, both the internal and external pressures Viganò writes of soon will affect all of Christendom.   They already have.  Apostasy within Protestant denominations with its war upon fundamentalism has been fully on display for quite some time.  We need to take Viganò’s warnings seriously.  What happens within the Catholic church will reverberate across Christendom and carries with it implications for all. 

 

Are we living in the end times?  I think we are.  Sean Kelly, professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, believes so too as he writes we are living in the end times.  His perspective is Biblical only in the sense that what he prescribes for remedy is what Revelation 13 – 14 warned us not to do.  Kelly’s book Becoming Gaia, On the Threshold of Planetary Initiation proposes a salvation rooted in technological convergence – a singularity – which will “pull the earth away from the abyss.”

 



 

Archbishop Viganò sounds the alarm that Pope Francis has engaged in a war upon the church’s traditionalists.  In this war, he says, the pope is doing what he does best:  demolition. Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant,” making a wasteland and calling it peace:

 

“His dual role as pope and liquidator of the Catholic Church allows him on the one hand to demolish it with decrees and acts of governance, and on the other hand to use the prestige that his office entails to establish and spread the new religion over the rubble of the old one.”

 

Viango’s warning conveys a sense of urgency which I’ve similarly observed in recent writings of other Catholic traditionalists; the same sense of urgency conveyed from an era when the church experienced harsh persecution.

 

One traditionalist is Archbishop Schneider.  His piece The Gift of Filial Adoption (The Christian Faith: the only valid and the only God-willed religion) is a response to Francis’ signing of the Human Fraternity Agreement which places Christendom on equal footing with the other world religions.

 

“The Apostles and the countless Christian martyrs of all times, especially those of the first three centuries, would have been spared martyrdom, if they had said: “The pagan religion and its worship is a way, which as well corresponds to the will of God.”

 

“No authority on earth – not even the supreme authority of the Church – has the right to dispense people from other religions from the explicit Faith in Jesus Christ as the Incarnated Son of God and the only Savior of mankind with the assurance that the different religions as such are willed by God Himself. “

 

Pope Francis’ inclusiveness permeates well outside the bounds of religion itself.  Karen Armstrong of the Alliance of Civilizations, I suspect, had a sense of satisfaction as she published one of Francis’ heretical demolitions on her Charter for Compassion website that atheists need not worry about hell.  The Charter for Compassion was launched by Armstrong as a means to provide religions with “guidelines” on how we are to interpret those “religious texts which are being abused.”  Armstrong is especially hostile towards Christianity.  She attributes scriptural abuse to those who look upon Jesus as divine.   Armstrong’s theology includes  arguments such as the Biblical God is a lying God.

 

There is concern amongst Catholics that something is amiss, a sentiment recognized by Viganò:

 

 “We have come to the point that even simple people with little knowledge of doctrinal issues understand that we have a non-Catholic pope.”

 

My Catholic friends have voiced to me suspicions that Francis is the “anti-pope” whom they identity as the same false prophet from the book of Revelation.  Viganò expresses this same chilling suspicion as he critiques the new world religion and state as operating along parallel lines: 

 

“On the other hand, constructing a media version consistent with the system, to be repeated ad nauseam in order to indoctrinate the masses, is the recurring element not only in the ecclesiastical sphere but also in the political and civil sphere, so that it appears with disconcerting evidence that the deep church and deep state are nothing other than two parallel tracks which run in the same direction and have as their final destination the New World Order, with its religion and its prophet.”

 

This current condition plagues not only the Catholics but Protestants as well.  For quite some time now evangelical Christianity has engaged in a courtship with the state.  The word escorts may better describe the faith leaders who engage in such activity.

 

One need only look at some of the more prominent interfaith initiatives to observe the conjoining  of church and state.  The Abrahamic Family House, for example, is funded by the United Arab Emirates and has the full support of the Vatican and Alliance of Civilizations.  The German government and EU have reportedly contributed $37 million toward House of One’s $57 million price tag. House of One’s board has a strong political presence.

 



 

Christian Science Monitor cites a House of One’s agenda item as:

 

“It’s urgently necessary to enlighten the religious-exclusives, those people who believe their way to God is the only right way. This project forces them to question those thoughts, and to think about diversity within religion”

 

Even if we are not near the prophetic end-of-days era, Christendom appears to be headed down the same dangerous path it had travelled once before.  From history we have a range of warnings from which we may heed; from Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Mit brennender Sorge, the latter being read out from Catholic pulpits across Germany during a time of heavy persecution.

 

“Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community - however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things - whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds.”

 

Today, as back then, Christendom resembles the same makings of Germany Christianity whereas the religion had only a veneer of Christianity.  Apostate and Theosophically-influenced the religion became unrecognizable.  Today, as then, I expect we’ll see a split among the faithful.

 

Archbishop Viganò’s warning suggests the hour is late.  Future messages may well resemble those from the prior era.  Again, from the encyclical: 

 

“At a time when your faith, like gold, is being tested in the fire of tribulation and persecution, when your religious freedom is beset on all sides, when the lack of religious teaching and of normal defense is heavily weighing on you, you have every right to words of truth and spiritual comfort from him whose first predecessor heard these words from the Lord: "I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not: and thou being once converted, confirm thy brethren" (Luke xxii. 32).

    As I read your post on Vigano late Thursday afternoon, it motivated me to spend the next couple evenings completing an article I had started back in August. What he says is very serious. Thanks for that motivation. I will carry the water for Vigano and amplify his warnings.

  2. Rich,

    Excellent article. There've been a number of commenters here posting material from Vigano over the past year or so.

    I have to say that I'd about fell out of my chair at your (quote of Vigano):


    "...Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant, making a wasteland and calling it peace"


    Since September, I have been working off and on an article on 1Th 5:1-11 (as part of a larger series), and I came across an online reference which includes this Latin (improperly attributed in the article I'd found; I discovered just yesterday it's from Tacitus' Agricola, as the LifeSite article notes). I'm working on translating the rest of the text I need for my current article. This is part of a speech by a Briton leader in reference to the ruthlessness of Roman conquest (circa 83/4AD).

    In any case, there are many points of connection in my article with your post and Constance's previous one. Harmonic convergence?

  4. Just another indication of the age and times in which we live, that of compromise and apostasy:

    Pope Francis Mourns Death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu

    “Mindful of his service to the gospel through the promotion of racial equality and reconciliation in his native South Africa, HIS HOLINESS COMMENDS HIS SOUL to the loving mercy of Almighty God...”

    “Upon all who mourn his passing in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection, Pope Francis INVOKES DIVINE BLESSINGS OF PEACE AND CONSOLATION in the Lord Jesus.”

    Did Desmond Tutu REALLY provide 'service to the gospel?'

    Desmond Tutu was a STRONG SUPPORTER of the following:

    Same Sex 'marriage'

    Abortion

    Assisted Suicide

    "Tutu’s daughter, the Rev. Mpho Tutu, an ordained Episcopal priest and the executive director and founder of the Tutu Institute for Prayer and Pilgrimage, MARRIED HER LONGTIME LESBIAN LOVER Marceline van Furth in January of 2016."

    "Archbishop Desmond Tutu ... declared he would never worship a “homophobic God” but would rather go to hell."

    https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2021/12/26/pope-francis-mourns-death-of-archbishop-desmond-tutu/

    PS: In order to achieve the the creation of the false, ecumenical One World Religion, Christ and His eternal Truth must be diminished, and ultimately EXTINGUISHED. Don't be fooled by the USE of the name of Christ in all of this, as Jesus forewarned us: “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” - Matthew 24:5

    I posted about House of One probably about 3 years ago now.
    It was not a post that generated much discussion at the time.
    Glad to see Rich of Medford picking this up and running with it.

    I have wondered about something.....
    The hottest real estate on the planet to be fought over, I believe will be Temple Mount.
    A political football like none other.
    I think Revelation 11 the very first verse, is talking about carving up Temple Mount (and I also believe that the Dome of the Rock is currently on the part of it that is the former court of the Gentiles) but I think it possible that Temple Mount will be carved up in the near future to appease the Christian claim-representing the apostate version-(Calvary/Golgotha is located at the foot of it I believe on it's north side but will have to review that to be sure) as well as Jewish claims to it -- so is it possible that the House of One is to be replicated on Temple Mount as a political "solution" to stop fighting among the "big Three fundamentalist religions" to mark a new oneness and unity in the world as an example (maybe even Anti-Christ to be the broker for such a deal to further "peace and safety" moving forward in world affairs?

    I have made comments regarding these thoughts before here but it didn't register and I was asking questions because it seems plausible but have wondered others thoughts about this. Now maybe it will be kicked around and discussed because it seems much more to be becoming the future of religion..the One World kind. That goes hand in hand with the New World Order the Reset is working hard to bring about.

    Thanks Rich of Medford for staying the course in these very pertinent topics that are becoming manifested right before our eyes. Constance saw things early on and I know that though things seem to go underground and out of sight for a time these things come up for air now and again. I think finding the light of day to become reality in this present age--this age of deception.
    Now I am going to go and read what the comment section is going to say about this.....

    Mighty interesting times in my book as many more prophecies are moving toward reveal.

    I recall a watching a video by the Temple Institute which said the third temple would be one where all the world’s faiths would be permitted to worship. (Unfortunately, I don’t think I archived that video.)

    Here is a more recent article which addresses this matter. Former Temple Institute executive director Rabbi Glick says the temple would be open to all religions.

    In Shift, Israel Quietly Allows Jewish Prayer on Temple Mount – (August 24, 2021)

    “Ultimately, they seek to build a third Jewish temple on the site of the Dome of the Rock, the third-holiest place in Islam. Rabbi Glick says this temple would be open to all religions, and would be made possible through dialogue with Muslims.”

  11. I once wrote a piece on Desmond Tutu’s theology. It somehow kept appearing on Desmond Tutu’s news feed which his administrator continually deleted. Soon thereafter I read internet chatter from other clergy questioning, “did Desmond Tutu really deny the bodily resurrection of Christ?” Yes he did.

    Below are passages from his book God Has a Dream.

    “Often we focus too much on concrete images of God and on overly literal readings of the Bible…The Bible is not something that came dropping from heaven, written by the hand of God. It was written by human beings, so it uses human idiom and is influenced by the context in which whatever story was written. People need to be very careful. Many tend to be literalists, people who believe in the verbal inerrancy of the bible, who speak as if God dictated the Bible, when in fact God used human beings as they were, and they spoke only as they could speak at that time. There are parts of the Bible that have no permanent worth—that is nothing to be sorry about, it is just to say that it is the Word of God in the words of men and women.” God Has A Dream – Pg. 105-106

    “But when we say Jesus Christ ascended into heaven, you don’t believe that he got into a kind of ecclesiastical lift that took him into the stratosphere. This is language that is being used figuratively because the realities that are being described are not human realities, they are supranatural realities. When we speak even about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is not the revivification of a corpse.” God Has A Dream – Pg. 107

    Just to clarify, Archbishop Vigano was specifically addressing Joe Biden imposing vaccination on 28 million children aged 5 to 11...

    With every passing day, thousands of people are dying or are being affected in their health by the illusion that the so-called vaccines guarantee a solution to the pandemic emergency. The Catholic Church has the duty before God and all of humanity to denounce this tremendous and horrible crime with the utmost firmness, giving clear directions and taking a stand against those who, in the name of a pseudo-science subservient to the interests of the pharmaceutical companies and the globalist elite, have only intentions of death. How, Joe Biden, who also defines himself as “Catholic,” could impose vaccination on 28 million children aged 5 to 11,[27] is absolutely inconceivable, if only for the fact that there is practically zero risk of them developing the SARS-CoV-2 disease. The Holy See and the Bishops’ Conferences have the duty to express a firm condemnation in this regard, and also in relation to the very serious side effects that can result for children who are inoculated with the experimental gene serum.[28]

  14. Pope Francis AGAIN Snubs China’s Uyghurs in Christmas Message

    https://www.breitbart.com/faith/2021/12/25/pope-francis-again-snubs-chinas-uighurs-christmas-message/

    "ROME — POPE FRANCIS ONCE AGAIN FAILED TO MENTION THE GENOCIDE of Uyghur Muslims in CHINA Saturday IN HIS ANNUAL VIRTUAL TOUR OF INJUSTICES AROUND THE WORLD."

    "... THE POPE ONCE AGAIN MYSTERIOUSLY AVOIDED ANY MENTION of one of the most egregious examples of the trampling of human rights: the GENOCIDE of Uighur Muslims CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE IN XINJIANG, CHINA."

    "THE POPE HAS KEPT A SEPULCHRAL (i.e., 'dismal') SILENCE regarding the more than one million Uighur Muslims interned in a network of 85 CHINESE CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the region of Xinjiang, where they are being SYSTEMATICALLY TORTURED, RAPED, ENSLAVED AND FORCIBLY STERILIZED."

    "FRANCIS HAS NOT BUDGED IN THE FACE OF SIGNIFICANT INTERNATIONAL CRITICISM FOR HIS UNWILLINGNESS TO CALL OUT CHINA FOR ITS GRAVE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, despite his practice of meticulously enumerating the sufferings of ethnic and religious groups around the world."

    NOTE: There is a reason that explains why Pope Francis ignores the ongoing GENOCIDE in China. The Vatican has entered into a Concordat with the Communist Chinese. The Communist Chinese government pays the Vatican $2 BILLION annually, in return, the Vatican DOES NOT criticize the despotic activities of the Chi-Com government. The agreement, among other items, also enables the Chi-Coms to pick "Catholic" (i.e. COMMUNIST) Bishops that are friendly to the Chi-Com atheistic regime. The Vatican's 'deal' has sent a clear message to Chinese Catholics, which has forced many Catholics to go 'underground' in order to avoid persecution by the State.

    See what Church Militant (conservative Catholic site) had to say about this Vatican/Chi-Com agreement:

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #54: 1ST TIMOTHY

    Greetings from Paul

    1This letter is from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, appointed by the command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who gives us hope.

    2I am writing to Timothy, my true son in the faith.

    May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace.

    Warnings against False Teachings

    3When I left for Macedonia, I urged you to stay there in Ephesus and stop those whose teaching is contrary to the truth. 4Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.

    5The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. 6But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions. 7They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don’t know what they are talking about, even though they speak so confidently.

    8We know that the law is good when used correctly. 9For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. 10The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching 11that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.

    Paul’s Gratitude for God’s Mercy

    12I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him, 13even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. 14Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that come from Christ Jesus.

    15This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. 16But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. 17All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.

    Timothy’s Responsibility

    18Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles. 19Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.

    Instructions about Worship

    1I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 2Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 3This is good and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. 5For,

    There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. 6He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.

    This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. 7And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating—just telling the truth.

    8In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy.

    9And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. 10For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

    11Women should learn quietly and submissively. 12I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. 13For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. 14And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result. 15But women will be saved through childbearing, assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.

    Leaders in the Church

    1This is a trustworthy saying: “If someone aspires to be a church leader, he desires an honorable position.” 2So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. 3He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. 4He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. 5For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?

    6A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall. 7Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the devil’s trap.

    8In the same way, deacons must be well respected and have integrity. They must not be heavy drinkers or dishonest with money. 9They must be committed to the mystery of the faith now revealed and must live with a clear conscience. 10Before they are appointed as deacons, let them be closely examined. If they pass the test, then let them serve as deacons.

    11In the same way, their wives must be respected and must not slander others. They must exercise self-control and be faithful in everything they do.

    12A deacon must be faithful to his wife, and he must manage his children and household well. 13Those who do well as deacons will be rewarded with respect from others and will have increased confidence in their faith in Christ Jesus.

    The Truths of Our Faith

    14I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon, 15so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.

    Warnings against False Teachers

    1Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. 2These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead.

    A Good Servant of Christ Jesus

    6If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed. 7Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly. 8“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” 9This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it. 10This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.

    11Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. 12Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 13Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.

    14Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received through the prophecy spoken over you when the elders of the church laid their hands on you. 15Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress. 16Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.

    Advice about Widows, Elders, and Slaves

    1Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. 2Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.

    3Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her. 4But if she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.

    5Now a true widow, a woman who is truly alone in this world, has placed her hope in God. She prays night and day, asking God for his help. 6But the widow who lives only for pleasure is spiritually dead even while she lives. 7Give these instructions to the church so that no one will be open to criticism.

    8But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers.

    9A widow who is put on the list for support must be a woman who is at least sixty years old and was faithful to her husband. 10She must be well respected by everyone because of the good she has done. Has she brought up her children well? Has she been kind to strangers and served other believers humbly? Has she helped those who are in trouble? Has she always been ready to do good?

    11The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical desires will overpower their devotion to Christ and they will want to remarry. 12Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge. 13And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t. 14So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children, and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able to say anything against them. 15For I am afraid that some of them have already gone astray and now follow Satan.

    16If a woman who is a believer has relatives who are widows, she must take care of them and not put the responsibility on the church. Then the church can care for the widows who are truly alone.

    17Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. 18For the Scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.” And in another place, “Those who work deserve their pay!”

    19Do not listen to an accusation against an elder unless it is confirmed by two or three witnesses. 20Those who sin should be reprimanded in front of the whole church; this will serve as a strong warning to others.

    21I solemnly command you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus and the highest angels to obey these instructions without taking sides or showing favoritism to anyone.

    22Never be in a hurry about appointing a church leader. Do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

    23Don’t drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.

    24Remember, the sins of some people are obvious, leading them to certain judgment. But there are others whose sins will not be revealed until later. 25In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious. And the good deeds done in secret will someday come to light.

    False Teaching and True Riches

    Teach these things, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. 3Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings promote a godly life. 4Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions. 5These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.

    6Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 7After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.

    8So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.

    9But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

    10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

    And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

    Paul’s Final Instructions

    11But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 12Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. 13And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, 14that you obey this command without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. 15For,

    At just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. 16He alone can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen.

    17Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 19By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.

    20Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge. 21Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness.

    May God’s grace be with you all!

  27. Let me sort of cut to the chase regarding my current article ("Peace and Security!"). This is primarily for those who think the final ‘beast’ will be a revived Roman Empire. First I’ll post the two most important quotes. The first is on the Pax Romana:

    The Pax Romana (Roman Peace) was a period of relative peace and stability across the Roman Empire which lasted for over 200 years, beginning with the reign of Augustus (27 BC–14 AD). The aim of Augustus and his successors was to guarantee law, order, and security within the empire even if this meant separating it from the rest of the world and defending, or even expanding, its borders through military intervention and conquest.

    This one refers to the practices of the Roman Imperial army, as related by Calgacus through Tacitus:

    . . . and the more menacing Romans, from whose oppression one vainly seeks to escape through compliance and submission. Bandits of the globe, after laying the land bare by their universal plundering, they ransack the sea. If foreigners have riches, they are greedy; if poor, dominating. Neither east nor west has been able to satisfy. Unique among all, the wealthy and the impoverished they equally desire to rob, massacre, and plunder in the supposed name of the Empire. They create desolation and call it “peace”.

    Now, how might any of this apply to events of today?

    In a recent vlog he mentioned that the "infrastructure" bill included new car regulations that, as I interpret all this, would make cars more and more expensive and make repairs more costly--that is even IF one is allowed to self-repair, what with the trend in eliminating this. My point is that I see all this as a coordinated effort to render us all poorer and poorer, and, hence, more dependent on the State.

    A few types of insects ARE good food, actually!

    The Bible tell us about the diet of John the Baptist, “Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey” (Matthew 3:4).

    According to the above verse and Mark 1:6, the diet of John the Baptist consisted of “locusts and wild honey.” Whether the Gospel writers meant that John ate nothing else, or only that these constituted his main diet, is not given. Some suggest that “locusts and wild honey” were considered to be the distinguishing diet of a prophet, even as “raiment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle” marked him a successor to the ancient prophets.

    Because the English word “locust” (Greek akrides) properly means both an insect and certain kinds of trees, the question normally arises as to what, with honey, constituted the diet of John. In the Scriptures, and in contemporary Greek literature, the word akrides always refers to an insect, the locust.

    According to the Bible certain kinds of locusts are clean food. “These you may eat: the locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind” (Leviticus 11:22). The four insects here listed were commonly used as food in ancient times, as they are today in the Orient. These facts have led commentators to agree on the conclusion that akrides in Matthew and Mark should be understood as designating the insect by the name “locust” rather than a species of tree.

    Bombshell: New Zealand Pays $1000 to Doctors For Euthanizing COVID-19 Patients

    New Zealand’s Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed that COVID-19 patients may be eligible for assisted suicide.

    New euthanasia bill allows government to pay health practitioners $1,087 for each time they perform the life-ending procedure.

    An anti-euthanasia group called DefendNZ sent an Official Information Act request last month asking the New Zealand government to clarify a new euthanasia bill called the End of Life Choice Act (EOLCA), specifically as it relates to “severely hospitalized” Covid patients.

    “Could a patient who is severely hospitalized with Covid-19 potentially be eligible for assisted suicide or euthanasia under the Act if a health practitioner viewed their prognosis as less than 6 months?” the group asked.

    The MOH responded on December 7 that,”In some circumstances a person with COVID-19 may be eligible for assisted dying.”

    Baroness Finlay of Llandaff, a UK professor of palliative medicine, told the Herald that the EOLCA betrays the fundamental principles of bioethics.

    “It is bizarre that a country which has been trying to protect it citizens by closing down completely from a virus from which people can fully recover… is now suggesting that these patients should be killed by their doctors,” Finlay said. “It turns the ethos of medicine on its head.”

    “You really cannot predict death 100 per cent,” she added. “So why not support them while they are dying and leave the door open in case they are in the group that defies all odds and recovers completely?”

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #54: 2ND TIMOTHY

    Greetings from Paul

    1This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. I have been sent out to tell others about the life he has promised through faith in Christ Jesus.

    2I am writing to Timothy, my dear son.

    May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace.

    Encouragement to Be Faithful

    3Timothy, I thank God for you—the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again.

    5I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. 6This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. 7For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

    8So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News. 9For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. 10And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News. 11And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News.

    12That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return.

    13Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. 14Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.

    15As you know, everyone from the province of Asia has deserted me—even Phygelus and Hermogenes.

    16May the Lord show special kindness to Onesiphorus and all his family because he often visited and encouraged me. He was never ashamed of me because I was in chains. 17When he came to Rome, he searched everywhere until he found me. 18May the Lord show him special kindness on the day of Christ’s return. And you know very well how helpful he was in Ephesus.

    A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus

    1Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus. 2You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.

    3Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. 5And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. 6And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor. 7Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.

    8Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I preach. 9And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained. 10So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen.

    11This is a trustworthy saying:

    If we die with him,

    we will also live with him.

    12If we endure hardship,

    we will reign with him.

    If we deny him,

    he will deny us.

    13If we are unfaithful,

    he remains faithful,

    for he cannot deny who he is.

    14Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.

    An Approved Worker

    15Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. 16Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior. 17This kind of talk spreads like cancer, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus. 18They have left the path of truth, claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; in this way, they have turned some people away from the faith.

    19But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The LORD knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil.”

    20In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. 21If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.

    22Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.

    23Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. 26Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.

    The Dangers of the Last Days

    1You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!

    6They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires.

    7(Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.)

    8These teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith. 9But they won’t get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres.

    Paul’s Charge to Timothy

    10But you, Timothy, certainly know what I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance. 11You know how much persecution and suffering I have endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—but the Lord rescued me from all of it. 12Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.

    14But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. 15You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

    1I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom: 2Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.

    3For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. 4They will reject the truth and chase after myths.

    5But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.

    6As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

    Paul’s Final Words

    9Timothy, please come as soon as you can. 10Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this life and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus has gone to Dalmatia. 11Only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with you when you come, for he will be helpful to me in my ministry. 12I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13When you come, be sure to bring the coat I left with Carpus at Troas. Also bring my books, and especially my papers.

    14Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm, but the Lord will judge him for what he has done. 15Be careful of him, for he fought against everything we said.

    16The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. 17But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.b 18Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

    22May the Lord be with your spirit and may his grace be with all of you!

    In an interview with Mikaela Peterson Robert Kennedy said that big pharma is going after children because once the “vaccine” goes from the “emergency use authorization” to “approved” they are no longer protected from liability unless it is officially recommended for children.

  56. Anon 6:29 PM,

    The same things applies to all ages. Since it's still EUA only, then Big Pharma is not subject to certain legalities as it would if it were approved. Of course, if any other effective treatment were available, the EUA would automatically go away. Could this be why any treatment (such as Ivormektin and HCQ) has not been 'found'?

  57. A couple of weeks ago, I put a "hold" at my local library for RKF Jr.'s blockbuster book "The Real Anthony Fauci." Normally, when putting a hold on a 'hot' book, I'll be #3 or #4 on the waiting list. For the Fauci book, I was #42. I have never seen anything even remotely close to that. (It is also #1 on Amazon). Consequently, I decided to purchase the book myself which I received about a week ago. Yesterday, I just started to read it. So far, it is jaw dropping amazing, with virtually every page packed with information that I never heard before. Just one example:

    RFK Jr., using Government statistics, shows that when Fauci took over as Director of NIAID in 1984, the Autism rate was between 2 & 4 cases per 10,000. Under Fauci's leadership, the Autism rate is now 1 in 34 !

    You might want to seriously consider obtaining a copy of this book. I'm certainly glad I did.

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #56: TITUS

    Greetings from Paul

    1This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives. 2This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began. 3And now at just the right time he has revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.

    4I am writing to Titus, my true son in the faith that we share.

    May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace.

    Titus’s Work in Crete

    5I left you on the island of Crete so you could complete our work there and appoint elders in each town as I instructed you. 6An elder must live a blameless life. He must be faithful to his wife, and his children must be believers who don’t have a reputation for being wild or rebellious. 7A church leader is a manager of God’s household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or dishonest with money.

    8Rather, he must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must love what is good. He must live wisely and be just. He must live a devout and disciplined life. 9He must have a strong belief in the trustworthy message he was taught; then he will be able to encourage others with wholesome teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong.

    10For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others. This is especially true of those who insist on circumcision for salvation. 11They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money. 12Even one of their own men, a prophet from Crete, has said about them, “The people of Crete are all liars, cruel animals, and lazy gluttons.” 13This is true. So reprimand them sternly to make them strong in the faith. 14They must stop listening to Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth.

    15Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.

    Promote Right Teaching

    1As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching. 2Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience.

    3Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. 4These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, 5to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.

    6In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. 7And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. 8Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.

    11For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. 12And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, 13while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. 14He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

    15You must teach these things and encourage the believers to do them. You have the authority to correct them when necessary, so don’t let anyone disregard what you say.

    Do What Is Good

    1Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. 2They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.

    3Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. 4But—

    When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. 6He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.

    8This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.

    9Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time. 10If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. 11For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them.

    Paul’s Final Remarks and Greetings

    12I am planning to send either Artemas or Tychicus to you. As soon as one of them arrives, do your best to meet me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to stay there for the winter. 13Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with their trip. See that they are given everything they need. 14Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.

    15Everybody here sends greetings. Please give my greetings to the believers—all who love us.

    May God’s grace be with you all!

    Fixating on CRT is just one more example of Culture-War-ianity replacing Christianity.

    Why does CRT seem so attractive to so many, while Christianity seems so unappealing to them? What can we do to be a candle in the dark to draw more people of all races to Christianity?

    Anybody who experiences rebirth in the Holy Spirit won't find CRT appealing.

    In ancient Israel the tribe adopted foreigners into it. Some Egyptians came out of Egypt with the Israelites in their exodus. In the book of Esther some non-Israelites started worshiping Israel's God and became adopted Israelites. Other examples are scattered throughout the Old Testament.

    The church is the Israel of God according to the Apostle Paul. The first members of the church were Hebrew people. Later Paul brought gentiles in. The root of the church is Israel. The Israelite dead were the first dead who were resurrected and experiencing eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. The Israelites are the first fruits. Gentiles were branches grafted onto the olive tree. Unbelieving Jews can be grafted back on to the olive tree at any time.

    New Agers can be adopted into the church at any time if they experience a conversion. CRT believers can be adopted into the church at any time if they experience a conversion.

    When the Israelites were taken captive into Babylon, they were told to seek the welfare of Babylon, because in its welfare was their welfare. What might that mean for us today? Why is Joe Manchin one of the few voices in politics who is saying extreme partisanship scares him because people want their party to do well, more than they want the country to do well?

    “For David did not ascend into the heavens” (Acts 2:34); “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre [tomb] is with us unto this day” (Acts 2:29).

    The apostle Peter plainly stated that David did not ascend into the heavens yet. The Bible teaches that righteous people don’t receive their rewards at death but at the second coming of the Lord when dead will be raised. “For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then, He will reward each according to his works” (Matthew 16:27). And in Revelation it says, “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be” (Revelation 22:12).

    At the Resurrection, the dead will be raised to receive their rewards “The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout … and the dead in Christ shall rise … and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17). “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:51-53). The saints will receive the “crown of righteousness” at His appearing and not at death (2 Tim. 4:8).

    After death a person: returns to dust (Psalms 104:29), knows nothing (Ecclesiastes 9:5), possesses no mental powers (Psalms 146:4), has nothing to do with anything on earth (Ecclesiastes 9:6), does not live (2 Kings 20:1), waits in the grave (Job 17:13), and continues not (Job 14:1, 2).

    For this reason, the Bible says that “David did not ascend into the heavens.” King David is sleeping in the grave awaiting the resurrection. Jesus called the unconscious state of the dead “sleep” in John 11:11-14. The dead will sleep until the great day of the Lord at the end of the world (Job 14:12).

    True, but I speak as an individual watching all this happen in real time and it's impact on me and mine. Many others feel the same with their own view of how and why this is the order of the day.
    Though I know things are allowed to go this way from God's Word, it's still right to call out the many manifested evils of our day. The left does not own evil exclusively, that is certainly correct, but at this point it leads the way as point man to quickly hasten the destruction, but not without the approval and aid of others with their own tribalistic view from their own angle.
    And in reply to "Anybody who experiences rebirth in the Holy Spirit won't find CRT appealing."
    Amen. And only humbled individuals apply (appeal) for that rebirth. This does not happen by collective means. Repentance and faith is a personal individual matter-heart to heart one heart at a time-work bought and brought by Jesus by way of His Holy Spirit to grant us that amazing redeeming grace. What a time to be alive on the earth to witness the Bible continuing to manifest what God said long time ago.

    The apostate sell out the truth for that "bowl of beans" and fall away, true believers remain, even at the highest cost because God is the life and power within them.
    And God knows how evil is overtaking everything, this too, is all within His plan, yet His Light still shines in persons. Believers are left here as a witness against the darkness (that we were once of ourselves, shining the light of Christ by honoring His Word and His Name in their lives that stand out in the love of Jesus that is in them.
    That takes faith and courage to go against the tide but the Lord is with those who stand with Him, come what may.
    I'm glad I've read the end of the Book and know God wins.

    "The left does not own evil exclusively, that is certainly correct, but at this point it leads the way as point man to quickly hasten the destruction, but not without the approval and aid of others with their own tribalistic view from their own angle."

    Godlessness + power + knowledge lead to playing God. Whether that means replacing God with government - as with various forms of fascism and socialism - or whether that means replacing eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven with a download of a brain scan into a virtual world - as with transhumanism - it's still about playing God in one way or another.

    In that sense I agree the New Age, Marxist and/or Transhumanist Left leads the way in doing their utmost to play God and to create (their hellish attempt at) Heaven on Earth. In these ways, the people who would play God or who would attempt to live forever and not to surely die even though they break God's laws, resemble Eve, as well as the builders of the Tower of Babel.

    At bottom the problem is still that they don't believe that God really exists or that eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven is really a possibility. If you were not a believer, and you turned on the TV and watched Joel Osteen, would you see any evidence of God working in the heart of people in our world? Why should you then believe it?

    But is the sin of trying to play God the only sin that matters in the Bible? I recall the Bible saying something about the love of money being the root of evil...

    In full context we need to think about the money flowing through the Temple of Jerusalem, and the threat Jesus posed to that money flow. If He were to be declared by the people to be the King of Israel, it would mean a war with Rome. A war with Rome would threaten the Temple wealth, which was very considerable, and indeed legendary in the ancient world.

    Yet there must be a lesson in it for us all, who can all be tempted by the love of money being greater in our hearts than the love of God, as long as we are in this flesh.

    If the Kingdom of God is really located in Heaven, not on Earth, then we have it in our power with the help of the Holy Spirit to be secure in our citizenship there no matter what happens to us as citizens of our nations on Earth. We are actually better off than Nancy Pelosi, who as it stands may not have eternal life and who is in need of salvation.

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #57: PHILEMON

    Greetings from Paul

    1This letter is from Paul, a prisoner for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.

    I am writing to Philemon, our beloved co-worker, 2and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your house.

    3May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

    Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer

    4I always thank my God when I pray for you, Philemon, 5because I keep hearing about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God’s people. 6And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ. 7Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God’s people.

    Paul’s Appeal for Onesimus

    8That is why I am boldly asking a favor of you. I could demand it in the name of Christ because it is the right thing for you to do. 9But because of our love, I prefer simply to ask you. Consider this as a request from me—Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus.

    10I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus. I became his father in the faith while here in prison. 11Onesimus hasn’t been of much use to you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us. 12I am sending him back to you, and with him comes my own heart.

    13I wanted to keep him here with me while I am in these chains for preaching the Good News, and he would have helped me on your behalf. 14But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced. 15It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever. 16He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.

    17So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it. And I won’t mention that you owe me your very soul!

    20Yes, my brother, please do me this favor for the Lord’s sake. Give me this encouragement in Christ.

    21I am confident as I write this letter that you will do what I ask and even more! 22One more thing—please prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that God will answer your prayers and let me return to you soon.

    Paul’s Final Greetings

    23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings. 24So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers.

    25May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit!

    CNN is trying to square several circles regarding the anticipated Biden admin response to Omicron. Could God be laughing right now?

    Biden administration signals pandemic strategy shift in the face of Omicron

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/30/politics/biden-administration-shifting-covid-guidance/index.html

    A couple notable quotes:

    "It's fair to wonder whether Biden's mantra that science alone will dictate policymaking -- which encapsulates his symbolic break with former President Donald Trump's negligence on the pandemic -- is loosening, though direct comparisons with the ex-President's policy ignore vastly different moments in the pandemic and the vaccines and treatments now available to fight it."

    "It's fair to ask whether the Biden administration is beginning to prioritize economics over science, just as Democrats once blasted Trump for doing."

  95. Off topic, but, watch this uplifting video ...

    Man saves wild hawk… Remarkable footage…

    https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/man-saves-wild-hawk-remarkable-footage/

    PS: After I watched this, it reminded me of how Christ removes the shackles of sin in our life, freeing us from the *bondage of Satan. THAT is the real Gospel; Christ doesn't just save us FROM the penalty of sin, He saves us FROM the evil, destructive consequences of continuing in sinful rebellion against God.

    God ALWAYS disciplines His children, because He knows what is best for them. The process in theology is known as Sanctification. The contrasting heresy is known as Antinomianism, which is quite popular today. Antinomianism is basically this; I am 'believer,' therefore, I can continue to willfully, knowingly, sin because all of my sins are 'forgiven.' Over the years, I've known quite a few of this type. Just one example; 'Joe' is a serial adulterer that has been able to fool many people. Once he is found out, he leaves the 'church' and associates with another. Amazingly, he consistently rises in the 'church' to a position of 'elder,' until he is found out again, and moves to another 'church.' 'Joe' also happens to be an 'evangelist' that passes out tracks to virtually everyone he comes in contact with. Apparently, he uses his 'tracks' in bars, which is where he meets the women that he carries on his affairs with. (He's also been 'married' four times). He has done a great deal of harm to the cause of Christ!

    * "And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

    In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

    And that they may recover themselves out of the SNARE OF THE DEVIL, WHO ARE TAKEN CAPTIVE BY HIM AT HIS WILL." - 2 Timothy 2:24-26

    Evangelist Franklin Graham doesn’t believe that the “vaccine passport” chip implant developed by a Swedish company is the mark of the beast described in the Bible but warns of what such technology could lead to in the future.

    The 69-year-old son of the late evangelist Billy Graham posted a statement on Facebook Tuesday, commenting on the recent news that many Swedes are having microchips the size of a grain of rice implanted under their skin, storing COVID-19 vaccine passport information and other personal data.

    Some have speculated online whether such microchips could be the “mark of the beast” described in the book of Revelation.

    “The Bible tells us that in the end times there will be a one world system,” Graham, who heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, wrote. “Revelation 13:16-17 says, ‘Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark…’”

    “Right now, a Swedish company has developed a ‘vaccine passport’ chip that is implanted under the skin and can be scanned. It could be required to enter restaurants or businesses, fly commercially, etc,” he continued. “I personally do not think this particular chip is the mark the Bible talks about, but it does make you think how close we may be.”

    Graham is not opposed to vaccinations and believes getting vaccinated is “important and helps save lives.” But he believes political leaders have used the coronavirus pandemic “as an excuse to exert more and more control” since “many world leaders are still using COVID ... to lock down their countries.”

    “Christians around the world are wondering if COVID-19 is being used as a way to condition the world population to accept a mark like this, whatever form it may take,” Graham added.

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #58: HEBREWS

    3Behold, the works of God have existed from the foundation of the world,

    4According to what he said about the Sabbath: “God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5And here again he said: “They shall not enter my rest.” 6Because, therefore, there has been an opportunity for each person to enter and those who were first evangelized did not enter, in that they were not persuaded,

    7Again he appointed another day, after much time, just as it is written above that David said, “Today, if you listen to his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

    8For if {Joshua}, son of Nun, had given them rest, he would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9So then, it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath. 10For whoever enters his rest has rested from his works as God has from his own. 11Let us take pains, therefore, to enter that rest, lest we fall in the manner of those who were not persuaded.

    12For the word of God is living and all-efficient, and much sharper than a double edged sword, and it pierces to the separation of soul and spirit and of joints, marrow and of bones, and judges the reasoning and conscience of the heart. 13And there is no created thing hidden from before him, but everything is naked and open before the eyes of him to whom we give an account.

  116. Very dangerous times, spiritually. While this guy has correctly identified many of the problems, he’s got the wrong solution. His is the New Age/New Spirituality solution:

    The Tipping Point - Infinite Waters
    December 21, 2021

    After Skool

    Ralph Smart is a Psychologist. Author. Counselor. Life Coach. Relationship Guide. Alchemist. & Infinite Being. He is best known on youtube as "Infinite Waters" where he uploads new videos everyday...


    “. . . Everything is aligning for you . . . The tipping point has arrived . . . This is where we have arrived on the planet . . . The end is nothing more than the new beginning in disguise . . . [we should] not see it as the end, but as a period of transformation, as this metamorphosis where we can choose what we become . . . We need to put aside our differences of religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, because we are all in this together . . . Let’s put aside our differences, our egos, and let’s come together . . . [Plato’s wall reference] . . . “

    “December 21, 2020: that signified a new consciousness on the planet—us ascending to the fifth dimension where love reigns supreme. It was no longer about living in fear; it was all about letting love guide you, and this is where millions of people are moving to. And this is why we’re living in amazing times. I’ve got great hopes. Why? Because I know love wins in the end . . . Humanity is now remembering who they really are, which is, which is, multi-dimensional beings having a human experience—and we are the power—limitless beings . . . They tried to bury us, they forgot we are seeds.”

    ------

    So much truth, but the wrong solution. So much truth, but no Truth. As much as I enjoy JP Sears’ humor (and I’ve posted a number of his vlogs here in comments), I am quite sure this is the basis of his beliefs (witness at least one of his wall hangings).

    https://www.insider.com/prosecutors-drop-case-against-jeffrey-epstein-jail-guards-2021-12

    NOTE: This action couldn't possibly have anything to do with TRUTH that may have come out as a result of a trial, now could it? Trials can be sort of messy. Could it be that the guards would have testified that Epstein did not commit suicide, but rather, was murdered? At any rate, the guards will be the scapegoats and will not get their 'day in court' in which they could have proved otherwise.

    Call me a sceptic, but, this was the very same tactic the Government used when they cut the first sweetheart deal with Epstein back in 2007, citing that Epstein "belonged to intelligence."

  122. More and more 'vaccinated' people that I know are beginning to question the efficacy of their 'vaccines' along with their follow-up 'booster' shots. In a small social group that I'm associated with, one quietly told me that he sincerely believes 'we have been lied to.' This past Tuesday, one of our group members declared that he was 'feeling very sick' and left abruptly. This 'fully vaccinated' individual tested positive a couple of days ago. This adds to another 'fully vaccinated' member of the group that is also 'quarantined' because he also tested positive and is 'very sick' as well.

    Also, another 'fully vaccinated' member of our group recently got her latest 'booster' shot. Soon after, she became "VERY sick," which has left her Dr. "baffled." She has consistently tested negative for COVID. According to her best friend, she has been "extremely sick for over a week" and is "unable to do anything." I suspect that she is experiencing serious 'side effects' due to the EXPERIMENTAL 'vaccine' and subsequent 'booster' shots.

    Quote: This situation is very upsetting on a lot of fronts, but most of all it is the willingness of conservatives to take in, support, and elevate anyone they perceive as being on “our side” that is most disturbing. This needs to stop. There are people who have been in this movement for decades, have proven their conservative cred, live conservative lives, and deserve large platforms—but never get them. Instead, the “conservative influencers” latch onto people like Murphy—fly-by-night scammers who end up embarrassing all of us. Why is that? Why is there no basic desire to check into someone’s background? A simple Google search on Murphy’s past articles would have found this. He wrote them in 2015! It wasn’t hidden; no one cared to even look! And the end result is that conservatives end up looking like stupid fools.

    Italy has a . . . devotion to her past and to the ancient "glory which was Rome" . . . and to the concept of the restoration of the Roman Empire . . . [S]he stands steadily for peace . . . Her motto, esoterically stated, is, as you know: "I carve the Paths." This will be true eventually in the spiritual as well as in the literal sense . . . Upon the spiritual side, as I told you in an earlier book, the whole field of religion will be re-inspired and re-orientated from Rome because the Master Jesus will again take hold of the Christian Church in an effort to re-spiritualise it and to re-organise it. From the chair of the Pope of Rome, the Master Jesus will attempt to swing that great branch of the religious beliefs of the world again into a position of spiritual power and away from its present authoritative and temporary political potency (p 59).

    I am Conservative because I am conservative, I didn't have to be influenced, hyped, or talked into buying what I believe is right. My influences are from my real life as a wife and mother and my upbringing.
    I don't care who thinks they're who in influencer world, high profile, or low on the radar screen.
    I do not own a T.V., one of the best decisions ever and made several years ago, I don't listen to radio either. I don't care much for Fox News, and deeply disliked CBS and NBC television back 25 years ago, don't think they've improved in the least since then. Most of the output from media is garbage.
    I am online here and there, a lot of garbage, a lot of garbage there also, a flood of information and misinformation alike, so internet has to be really used with discretion and I do have many wonderful commitments to take up much of my time.
    People are people and have an opinion, just like we all have a navel, an opinion is part of each of us.

    A History Of New Years

    U.S. News and World Report | December 23, 1996

    In 46 B.C.E. the Roman emperor Julius Caesar first established January 1 as New Year’s day. Janus was the Roman god of doors and gates, and had two faces, one looking forward and one back. Caesar felt that the month named after this god (“January”) would be the appropriate “door” to the year. Caesar celebrated the first January 1 New Year by ordering the violent routing of revolutionary Jewish forces in the Galilee. Eyewitnesses say blood flowed in the streets. In later years, Roman pagans observed the New Year by engaging in drunken orgies—a ritual they believed constituted a personal re-enacting of the chaotic world that existed before the cosmos was ordered by the gods.

    As Christianity spread, pagan holidays were either incorporated into the Christian calendar or abandoned altogether. By the early medieval period most of Christian Europe regarded Annunciation Day (March 25) as the beginning of the year. (According to Catholic tradition, Annunciation Day commemorates the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary that she would be impregnated by God and conceive a son to be called Jesus.)

    After William the Conqueror (AKA “William the Bastard” and “William of Normandy”) became King of England on December 25, 1066, he decreed that the English return to the date established by the Roman pagans, January 1. This move ensured that the commemoration of Jesus’ birthday (December 25) would align with William’s coronation, and the commemoration of Jesus’ circumcision (January 1) would start the new year - thus rooting the English and Christian calendars and his own Coronation). William’s innovation was eventually rejected, and England rejoined the rest of the Christian world and returned to celebrating New Years Day on March 25.

    About five hundred years later, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII (AKA “Ugo Boncompagni”, 1502-1585) abandoned the traditional Julian calendar. By the Julian reckoning, the solar year comprised 365.25 days, and the intercalation of a “leap day” every four years was intended to maintain correspondence between the calendar and the seasons. Really, however there was a slight inaccuracy in the Julian measurement (the solar year is actually 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds = 365.2422 days). This slight inaccuracy caused the Julian calendar to slip behind the seasons about one day per century. Although this regression had amounted to 14 days by Pope Gregory’s time, he based his reform on restoration of the vernal equinox, then falling on March 11, to the date had 1,257 years earlier when Council of Nicaea was convened (March 21, 325 C.E.). Pope Gregory made the correction by advancing the calendar 10 days. The change was made the day after October 4, 1582, and that following day was established as October 15, 1582. The Gregorian calendar differs from the Julian in three ways: (1) No century year is a leap year unless it is exactly divisible by 400 (e.g., 1600, 2000, etc.); (2) Years divisible by 4000 are common (not leap) years; and (3) once again the New Year would begin with the date set by the early pagans, the first day of the month of Janus - January 1.

    On New Years Day 1577 Pope Gregory XIII decreed that all Roman Jews, under pain of death, must listen attentively to the compulsory Catholic conversion sermon given in Roman synagogues after Friday night services. On New Years Day 1578 Gregory signed into law a tax forcing Jews to pay for the support of a “House of Conversion” to convert Jews to Christianity. On New Years 1581 Gregory ordered his troops to confiscate all sacred literature from the Roman Jewish community. Thousands of Jews were murdered in the campaign.

    Throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods, January 1 - supposedly the day on which Jesus’ circumcision initiated the reign of Christianity and the death of Judaism - was reserved for anti-Jewish activities: synagogue and book burnings, public tortures, and simple murder.

    The Israeli term for New Year’s night celebrations, “Sylvester,” was the name of the “Saint” and Roman Pope who reigned during the Council of Nicaea (325 C.E.). The year before the Council of Nicaea convened, Sylvester convinced Constantine to prohibit Jews from living in Jerusalem. At the Council of Nicaea, Sylvester arranged for the passage of a host of viciously anti-Semitic legislation. All Catholic “Saints” are awarded a day on which Christians celebrate and pay tribute to that Saint’s memory. December 31 is Saint Sylvester Day - hence celebrations on the night of December 31 are dedicated to Sylvester’s memory.

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #58: JAMES

    1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ:

    To the twelve tribes dispersed abroad.

    Greetings.

    Trials and Maturity

    2Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, 3because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

    5Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God — who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly — and it will be given to him. 6But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord, 8being double-minded and unstable in all his ways.

    9Let the brother of humble circumstances boast in his exaltation, 10but let the rich boast in his humiliation because he will pass away like a flower of the field. 11For the sun rises and, together with the scorching wind, dries up the grass; its flower falls off, and its beautiful appearance perishes. In the same way, the rich person will wither away while pursuing his activities.

    12Blessed is the one who endures trials, because when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

    13No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God,” since God is not tempted by evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt anyone. 14But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desire. 15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

    16Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18By his own choice, he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

    Hearing and Doing the Word

    19My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. 21Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

    22Buta be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

    23Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his own face in a mirror.

    24For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.

    25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who works — this person will be blessed in what he does.

    26If anyone thinks he is religious without controlling his tongue, his religion is useless and he deceives himself. 27Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

    Faith and Works

    14What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works?

    Can such faith save him?

    15If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily food 16and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, stay warm, and be well fed,” but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it?

    17In the same way faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.

    18But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith by my works. 19You believe that God is one. Good! Even the demons believe — and they shudder.

    20Senseless person!

    Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?

    21Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works in offering Isaac his son on the altar?

    22You see that faith was active together with his works, and by works, faith was made complete.

    23And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God’s friend.

    24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

    25In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the harlot also justified by works in receiving the messengers and sending them out by a different route?

    26For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

    On this first day of the new year 2022... sadly, it's time to remove 'the veil' from our eyes (that continues to 'blind' us).

    Video PROOF that those wildfires in the Boulder, Colorado area, that destroyed 1,000 homes, were brought about by a HAARP-produced 'trifecta'... a combination of DEWs (Directed Energy Weapons); Chemtrails (in the sky); and 5G Towers (nearby).

    Similar to what also occurred in Paradise, California in November, 2018... these wildfires could hardly be classified as 'natural' fires... when video evidence shows car tires melting, while trees remain standing (and unburned) nearby. Something ELSE was clearly going on.

    Interestingly, one resident noted that homes, in the path of destruction, that escaped damage were ones that did not have a smart meter.

    My Turn: The Catholic right, the religious right and the corruptions of wealth
    Excerpt:

    "One of the unmistakable, yet slighted, tropes in the Bible is the warning against the perils of money and affluence. Jesus himself cautioned that the love of money is the root of all evil and that a rich person has about as much chance gaining entry into the kingdom of heaven as a camel successfully negotiating the aperture of a needle.

    I wonder how many sermons over the centuries have been devoted to scaling back those declarations, explaining them away so that the affluent in the pews would not feel uncomfortable – and would not suspend their contributions. More to the point, I’d love to know how many such sermons have been preached (or the texts avoided altogether) in the past several decades.

    I recall many sermons about camels and the eyes of needles during my evangelical childhood. I haven’t heard such a sermon in years. Since 1980, to be exact. Now, finally, the bills are coming due. Two of the largest and most influential religious movements in American history – the Roman Catholic Church and evangelicalism – are facing their own crises over the corrosive effects of money.

    The cover story in the current issue of Sojourners magazine is entitled “How Right-Wing Billionaires are Attempting a Hostile Takeover of the Catholic Church.” Reported and written by my longtime friend and former colleague Tom Roberts, the story explores the intricate tangle of money, politics, organizations and billionaires seeking to push Catholicism away from its venerable tradition of Catholic social teaching, with its concern for the poor and the rights of workers, toward a fulsome embrace of free-market capitalism.

    Such views contradict Catholic doctrine. “God blesses those who come to the aid of the poor and rebukes those who turn away from them,” according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. “A theory that makes profit the exclusive norm and ultimate end of economic activity is morally unacceptable; the disordered desire for money cannot but produce perverse effects.” A growing number of Catholic individuals, however, don’t see it that way. Timothy Busch, founder of the Napa Institute, which aspires to “equip Catholic leaders to defend and advance the Catholic faith in the next America,” favors libertarian economics and has endowed the Busch School of Business at Catholic University of America. The Napa Institute in turn sponsored an event at the school called “Good Profit,” honoring a book by the same name written by Charles Koch, who may represent the embodiment of what the Catechism calls “disordered desire for money.”

    The monied web of right-wing influence in the Catholic Church extends to Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino’s Pizza; Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former adviser; and the “supreme knight” of the Knights of Columbus, Carl Anderson, who began his career working for the late Jesse Helms, the far-right senator from North Carolina.

    The Knights of Columbus expends millions of dollars on charity, but it also funds such hard-right organizations as the Ethics and Public Policy Center, the Federalist Society and the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which battled the contraceptive mandate of the Affordable Care Act, even though most Catholic entities, including the Catholic Health Association, said the accommodations offered by the Obama administration were sufficient.

    (cont) This Catholic right network extends into the College of Cardinals, especially James Harvey and Raymond Burke, and to Carlo Maria Viganò, the archbishop who was removed by Francis as the papal ambassador to the United States. Viganò, with the support of Busch and other conservatives, has called on Francis to resign, essentially because he’s too “liberal” on matters like poverty, sexuality and climate change. As Roberts writes in the Sojourners article, “While pendulum swings are common between conservative and progressive tendencies in Catholicism, the 35-year traditionalist reign of popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI allowed the Far Right to flourish.” Paradoxically, Francis may have given the right an opening with his timid and belated response to clerical sexual abuse. If billionaire resources fuel the efforts on the part of the Catholic right to force the church away from its own social teachings, the corrosive influence of money on the religious right is more complicated. There, the situation isn’t so much the direct infusion of cash, although there’s some of that with DeVos (Amway) and Green (Hobby Lobby) money. In the case of the religious right, the betrayal of biblical principles and evangelical tradition goes back further.

    American evangelicals in an earlier age took seriously the biblical injunctions to welcome the stranger, to care for the poor and to treat everyone, including women and people of color, with respect and dignity. Evangelical convictions animated many of the social reform movements of the 19th century: voting rights for women, the abolition of slavery (in the North), public education, peace crusades, prison reform.

    At the turn of the 20th century, evangelicals organized slum brigades in teeming, squalid tenements and supported the rights of workers to organize against predatory capitalists. The evangelical social critique extended into the realm of economics. Charles Grandison Finney, by any measure the most influential evangelical of the 19th century, suggested that a “Christian businessman” was an oxymoron because commerce necessarily elevated avarice over altruism and therefore violated the teachings of Jesus. Finney allowed that “the business aims and practices of business men are almost universally an abomination in the sight of God.”

    What happened? The precise historical record is not entirely clear (I’ve been trying for years to persuade doctoral students to explore this question), but by the time of the New Deal, some evangelicals were beginning to set aside biblical injunctions against wealth and to disregard earlier evangelical activism for those less fortunate. The Cold War together with evangelist Billy Graham’s cozy relationship with captains of industry nudged evangelicals further toward the right.

    cont

    But the decisive event was the rise of the religious right in the late 1970s and its embrace of Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter in the 1980 election. Evangelicals abandoned Carter, one of their own, in favor of a candidate who espoused unwavering faith in capitalism and unmitigated scorn for mythical “welfare queens.” Evangelical voices of conscience fell silent as Reagan proceeded to lavish tax cuts on the affluent, thereby widening the chasm between rich and poor and laying waste to the noble tradition of 19th-century evangelical activism on behalf of those on the margins. Jerry Falwell famously declared that “capitalism is God’s way of doing things.” All remaining evangelical claims to morality or fidelity to either the Bible or to evangelical tradition were demolished in the 2016 presidential election. Now, sadly, powerful forces in the Catholic Church are pushing in a similar direction, away from concern for those Jesus called “the least of these” and toward an uncritical embrace of free-market capitalism. “The prosperity of the times in the business world threatens to endanger the piety of the church,” a writer in the New-York Evangelist declared back in 1836. “The desire to possess, though constitutional, is one of the most dangerous affections of the human heart.”

    Judas Iscariot, let’s recall, betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Through some perverse combination of silence and denial, both the Catholic right and the religious right are perpetrating a similar betrayal.

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #69: 1ST PETER

    Greetings from Peter

    1This letter is from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.

    I am writing to God’s chosen people who are living as foreigners in the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. 2God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    May God give you more and more grace and peace.

    The Hope of Eternal Life

    3All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been {begotten} again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.

    6So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

    8You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. 9The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.

    10This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. 11They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward.

    12They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

    A Call to Holy Living

    13So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. 14So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

    17And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.” 18For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. 19It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake.

    21Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.

    22You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.

    Living for God

    The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. 8Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.

    10God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 11Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

    5All of you dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for

    “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

    6So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

    8Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.

    10In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 11All power to him forever! Amen.

    14Peace be with all of you who are in Christ!

    Get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. 2Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, 3now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.

    Living Stones for God’s House

    4You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.

    5And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God. 6As the Scriptures say,

    “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, chosen for great honor,

    and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”

    7Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.

    But for those who reject him,

    “The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.”

    8And,

    “He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.”

    They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.

    Good article. Just a little more expansion on the theme of Judas. Judas Iscariot was a foreshadow of the wealthy Temple connected leadership of the tribe of Judah betraying their Messiah for money. Each of the twelve apostles stood for one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Judas Iscariot stood for the tribe of Judah.

    The sin of Judas - and the sin of the last generation, wealthy, Temple connected leadership of the tribe of Judah - was the sin of loving money more than loving Jesus Christ.

    The same sin was not exclusive to them, of course, but can be committed by any Christian or any church as well.

    Regarding the Catholic church, its compromise by money is nothing new. Recall the history of selling indulgences, among many other very well documented examples. But sin is sin, whether committed by Joel Osteen, or by the people running the Vatican bank.

  151. Regarding the posts @ 9:55 PM, 9:56 PM, 9:56 PM which is a reprint of an article entitled:

    My Turn: The Catholic right, the religious right and the corruptions of wealth

    There are so many false statements and misleading innuendos in this article, one barely knows where to start. Let's begin with who the author is (which the poster somehow failed to mention ... you'll see in a minute as to why that decision was made):

    The author is Randall Balmer. Randall Balmer is an Episcopal Priest. The Episcopal Church officially supports the LGBTQ+ agenda, is officially 'pro-choice,' (a nice way of saying that they support the mother's right to kill her baby in the womb). As you can tell from the above reprinted article, they are VERY liberal on a score of other issues, including their stated disdain for free-market capitalism. Guess what they would replace that with? If you guessed State-sponsored, FORCED Socialism (or Communism), you would be right.

    Back to Randall Balmer. Randall Balmer, a priest in a very liberal apostate denomination, is also a professor at the equally liberal Ivy League school Dartmouth College, where he is the John Phillips Professor in Religion. Balmer has also taught "religion" at other liberal Ivy League colleges such as Yale and Princeton.

    Why did the poster neglect to credit the author? He/She didn't want you to do an easy search on who this author is!

    "Charles Grandison Finney, by any measure the most influential evangelical of the 19th century, suggested that a “Christian businessman” was an oxymoron because commerce necessarily elevated avarice over altruism and therefore violated the teachings of Jesus. Finney allowed that “the business aims and practices of business men are almost universally an abomination in the sight of God.”

    NOTE: I happen to be VERY schooled regarding the life and teachings of Charles Finney, having read all of his works, including "Revival Lectures,""Systematic Theology, his autobiography "Life of Charles G. Finney, etc." I also own and have read other "Finney" books as well.

    To put it mildly, Finney was a fanatic who's 'revival' tactics produced people rolling on the floor, barking like dogs, etc., etc. (It was Finney that introduced a variation of the unbiblical "altar call," which later influenced others such as D. L. Moody, Billy Sunday, Billy Graham, etc.) In short, Finney produced a lot of religious fervor and hysteria, but his efforts resulted in virtually no long term fruits. Finney believed and taught that a person could achieve a "life of perfection" as far as being able to keep the "law" perfectly. His reasoning was such, that, as a practicing Attorney himself, he believed God would never have given us laws if he didn't expect us to PERFECTLY keep ALL laws. He DENIED the doctrine of Grace, believing that if one didn't reach "perfection," they weren't saved. Finney himself died a MISERABLE MAN !

    Finney's generalized statement above regarding "businessmen" is typical Finney. That a businessman can certainly, through the power of Christ, be an HONEST, Christ-honoring businessman never seemed to cross the mind of Finney. I'm sure Finney would have also condemned the Roman Centurion, whom Jesus said regarding his faith that He had not seen such faith in "all of Israel."

    NOTE: The author correctly states that the "love of money is the root of all evil." However, he is only partially is correct regarding the "rich person's chance of gaining entry into the kingdom of heaven."

    What Jesus was REALLY teaching was that a rich person could not, ON HIS OWN, enter the kingdom. How could a rich man enter? Jesus answers "with God, all things are possible." How? THROUGH GOD! Being "rich" does not PREVENT you from entering in, because, rich and poor alike are SINNERS, and without God's GRACE, NO ONE WILL ENTER IN!

    The author falsely uses the illustration of the "rich man" in order to make the claim that Jesus is against free-market capitalism, as illustrated by his use of Charles Finney's anti-capitalism quote on "businessmen" as being an "abomination."

    The same mindset proclaims that Jesus was a "liberal," a "socialist," a "Marxist," etc. From this same well comes the polluted waters of the Jesuit's Liberation Theology, which is Marxist to its very core!

    The article by the Ivy League Liberal, apostate Episcopal Priest, pro-choice, pro LGBTQ+ Agenda, Randall Balmer is garbage from beginning to end.

    Because that person's post is meant to broad brush accuse basically most all other believers.
    Apparently this person is so righteous they can broad brush everyone else without remotely knowing why individual believers choose and act accordingly in their votes on social issues or how they make a living and God forbid happen to become wealthy.
    This is a hyper self-righteous virtue signaler who pretends to be the Holy Spirit.
    Christendom, the general institution as such, is apostate in these times and that is permeating every denomination, and goes beyond politics left or right.
    The Bible warns of that, politics is not saving America or anyone's soul because of how they vote, but this poster wants to pin those sins on every single believer who is not liberal, who happens to be on the right and conservative.
    That poster's posts reek of something quite foul.

    Small Business Administration Inspector General: $6 Trillion Of Covid Money Handed Out Without Enough Oversight

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/01/02/small_business_administration_inspector_general_6_trillion_of_covid_money_handed_out_without_enough_oversight.html

    So far, the Justice Department has charged more than 750 people in fraud cases involving $614 million dollars. But auditors assume most criminals are never caught. And there are as many scenarios as there are fraudsters.

    Virginia Smith pleaded guilty to fraudulently getting unemployment benefits for at least 22 prison inmates.

    Eric Ahiekpor admitted stealing Covid-relief funds to buy boats while awaiting trial for a multi-million dollar internet romance scam.

    Sheila Dunlap allegedly conspired with her son, who was in prison, to get the ID information of 9,000 people to illegally claim payments for almost $145-thousand dollars.

    Andrew Tezna a senior NASA executive and Colombia native was sent to prison after spending nearly $300-thousand dollars in Covid relief money on a $6,000 French bulldog, a $50,000 swimming pool loan, and six figures’ worth of personal debt. All while Tezna earned more than $180,000 a year helping oversee finances at NASA.

    Dana McIntyre is accused of falsely claiming he employed almost 50 people at his pizza shop. He got more than a half million dollars in tax money, sold the restaurant, and, prosecutors say, went on a spending spree that included cars and an Alpaca farm.

    Five Venezuelans allegedly used fake IDs to steal $800-thousand dollars in Covid-19 relief checks.

    A Florida couple was convicted in a $1.1 million fraud scheme. They got taxpayer money for their farms, two businesses and 62 employees—none of which existed.

    One giveaway should have been that the land they claimed to be farming was in the yards of two small urban Miami homes.

    Lebnitz Tran is charged with stealing $3.6 million in taxpayer funds, using some of it to buy cryptocurrency and a $100,000 Tesla.

    Michael Lain admitted submitting 70 fraudulent loan applications in a $4 million scheme.

    Azhar Sarwar Rana, pleaded guilty to more than $5 million in fraud— buying stocks, paying luxury car expenses, and sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to his home country of Pakistan.

    Engineer Shashank Rai admitted to a $13 million scheme claiming 250 employees, when he had none.

    Chinese national Muge Ma pleaded guilty in a $20 million Covid relief money fraud scheme.

    And Hasan Hakim Brown admitted to working with co-conspirators to steal $24 million in Covid-19 relief funds.

    Delta squashed Beta. Delta is still around; however, Omicron survivors have immunity against Delta (but Delta does not provide immunity to Omicron). This means Delta will eventually die out.

    HOLY BIBLE BOOK OF THE DAY #61: 2ND PETER

    Greetings from Peter

    1This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ.

    I am writing to you who share the same precious faith we have. This faith was given to you because of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior.

    2May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.

    Growing in Faith

    3By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 4And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

    5In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

    8The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.

    10So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. 11Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    Paying Attention to Scripture

    12Therefore, I will always remind you about these things—even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth you have been taught. 13And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live. 14For our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that I must soon leave this earthly life, 15so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.

    16For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes 17when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.” 18We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

    19Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. 20Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, 21or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.

    The Danger of False Teachers

    1But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. 3In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.

    4For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into {Tartarus}, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment. 5And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood. 6Later, God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people. 7But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the shameful immorality of the wicked people around him. 8Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day. 9So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment. 10He is especially hard on those who follow their own twisted sexual desire, and who despise authority.

    These people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at supernatural beings without so much as trembling. 11But the angels, who are far greater in power and strength, do not dare to bring {before} the Lord a charge of blasphemy against those supernatural beings.

    12These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They scoff at things they do not understand, and like animals, they will be destroyed. 13Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done. They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight. They are a disgrace and a stain among you. They delight in deception even as they eat with you in your fellowship meals. 14They commit adultery with their eyes, and their desire for sin is never satisfied. They lure unstable people into sin, and they are well trained in greed. They live under God’s curse. 15They have wandered off the right road and followed the footsteps of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong. 16But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice.

    17These people are as useless as dried-up springs or as mist blown away by the wind. They are doomed to blackest darkness. 18They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasting. With an appeal to twisted sexual desires, they lure back into sin those who have barely escaped from a lifestyle of deception.

    19They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption.

    For you are a slave to whatever controls you.

    20And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before.

    21It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.

    22They prove the truth of this proverb:

    “A dog returns to its vomit.”

    And another says:

    “A washed pig returns to the mud.”

    The Day of the Lord Is Coming

    1This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory. 2I want you to remember what the holy prophets said long ago and what our Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles.

    3Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 4They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.”

    5They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. 6Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. 7And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

    8But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends:

    A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.

    9The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think.

    No, he is being patient for your sake.

    He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

    10But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief.

    Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.

    11Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, 12looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames. 13But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.

    14And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.

    15And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave him— 16speaking of these things in all of his letters.

    Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture.

    And this will result in their destruction.

    Peter’s Final Words

    17You already know these things, dear friends. So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing. 18Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.

    AT&T and Verizon REJECT request by US government to delay rollout of 5G over fears the next-generation wireless technology could interfere with aviation

    A joint letter Sunday from the telecommunications giants sought to dismiss concerns brought by U.S. airlines that 5G wireless service could harm aviation

    But execs at both Verizon and AT&T also wrote that they were willing to accept some temporary measures over the next six months to limit the service around certain airport runways

    Airlines had asked the FCC to delay this week´s scheduled 5G rollout, fearing it could interfere with electronics that pilots rely on!!!

    U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Steve Dickson, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration, wrote to telecoms giants asking for a delay

    Today they refused saying it would damage the 'globally competitive communications networks that are every bit as essential to our country´s economic vitality'

    5G provides faster speeds when mobile devices connect to their networks and allows users to connect many devices to the internet without slowing it down

    The scientists are now telling us we won't be able to declare the pandemic over by following the science. Pretty much, there is no established yardstick to use to measure when the pandemic can be declared over.

    To the question, "Who will tell us when it's over?"

    Perhaps the answer needs to become, "We will."

    The end of the pandemic will not be televised

    https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj-2021-068094

    "There is no universal definition of the epidemiological parameters of the end of a pandemic. By what metric, then, will we know that it is actually over? The World Health Organization declared the covid-19 pandemic, but who will tell us when it’s over?

    The ubiquity of dashboards has helped create a sense that the pandemic will be over when the dashboard indicators all reach either zero (infections, cases, deaths) or 100 (percentage vaccinated). However, respiratory pandemics of the past century show that endings are not clear cut, and that pandemic closure is better understood as occurring with the resumption of social life, not the achievement of specific epidemiological targets."

    The Sinister Convergence of Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset with the Vatican and Liberation Theology

    https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/12/27/the-sinister-convergence-of-klaus-schwabs-great-reset-with-the-vatican-and-liberation-theology-f-william-engdahl/

    Amid the 2020 global covid lockdowns and economic dislocations it has caused, Klaus Schwab, a previously low-profile founder of a Swiss-based business forum, emerged on the world stage calling for what he called a Great Reset of the entire world economy, using the pandemic as driver. He even published a book in July 2020 outlining his blueprint. It has been rightly called a technocratic society with global top-down central planning. Schwab uses global warming fears and the plight of the world’s poor to justify what is in effect a plan for global totalitarianism where, as the Davos website puts it, nobody will own anything. What is not well-known is the fact that the inspiration for Schwab’s dystopian plans comes from a Catholic bishop whom he met in Brazil in the 1970’s. That bishop links Schwab’s vast globalist network with the powerful political influence of the present Pope Francis.

    Far from a traditional Catholic priest, this bishop was known as the “Red Bishop” and endorsed Castro’s Cuba model, as well as the Mao Cultural Revolution in which millions of Chinese were killed or destroyed in a purge of the enemies of Mao. His name was Archbishop Dom Helder Camara of Brazil, the leading early figure spreading the Church movement known as “Liberation Theology” during the 1960s and 1970s.

    From Nazi to Communist?

    Helder Camara made a transition from the two extremes of the political spectrum. In 1934 Camara was a leading figure in a pro-Mussolini Brazilian clerical fascist movement, Brazilian Integralist Action or Acao Integralista Brasileira (AIB). It was no casual involvement.

    In essence, Helder Camara’s Liberation Theology created the social climate and fostered the spread through society for the “victim” ideology of today’s widespread movements from ANTIFA to BLM and the entire Green Agenda movement.

    The relevant question to be asked is why the founder of the world’s most influential corporate globalization forum, Klaus Schwab, would embrace the founder of the Liberation Theology and the current liberal Pope Francis, the first-ever Jesuit Pope who slyly revives those ideas today?

    It’s definitely not that Klaus Schwab is embracing Marxism. Schwab is the “Godfather of Globalization.” The fusion of the ideologies of Francis and Schwab is a clever way of creating mass support, especially among younger and poorer people round the world for the wholesale attack on private property and on a stable middle-class required for the global corporatist Great Reset, a global technocratic fascism from above.

    In November 2020, Pope Francis declared that a new “social justice” is needed, and that private ownership is not something obvious in Christianity: “Let us build the new social justice and admit that the Christian tradition has never recognized the right to private property as absolute and immovable,” said Francis. He does not elaborate.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Anonymous1:09 PM

    In October, 2020 the pope issued an encyclical letter, Fratelli Tutti, in which he went after private property. He wrote, “Business abilities, which are a gift from God, should always be clearly directed to the development of others and to the elimination of poverty…” He declared, “The right to private property is always accompanied by the primary and prior principle of the subordination of all private property to the universal destination of the earth´s goods, and thus the right of all to their use.”

    This is remarkably similar to what Schwab of the WEF writes in his 2020 book, The Great Reset, where he states, “First and foremost, the post-pandemic era will usher in a period of massive wealth redistribution, from the rich to the poor and from capital to labour.” Schwab claims that the era of free market neoliberalism is over and major Government intervention is needed to enact “sustainable” environmental policies.

    The Davos embrace of the Vatican agenda is far more sinister than it might seem. Their Great Reset is about the end to human liberty or freedom in favor of a new globalist agenda of total control, high-tech surveillance, mandated medications and massive income redistribution from the middle class of society down.

    Sorry that people get sick, but sickness in varying degrees even to death is a fact of life since the fall. Surely people have and can continue to deal with all that and can overcome.
    But upset at the loss of smell and taste (which happened to me too) since it is temporary?..
    I have had good ole head colds that did that.
    Sorry but that is pretty lightweight for an excuse to get upset. Over the top fear and wimpishness does seem to prevail in a large segment of the population..

Are we really arguing because my cousin had the temerity to be bummed out that his senses of taste and smell didn't come back yet? I'm a Christian and a Republican voter, and I advocate against government overreach. That doesn't mean I lie on behalf of my side or that I hold back truths that are inconvenient for my own side. If that gets me pegged as disloyal, so be it. I never wanted to be a joiner in my life, and why start now? I try to please God first, you second. Sorry about that.

    When the news cycle is full of tragedy (God bless our Kentuckians devastated by tornadoes and the Colorado folks that have lost their homes to devastating fires, my gosh how many other terrible things we know of and can name off besides these 2 very recent events?) extremes of many kinds in many places among all kinds of people and someone is upset at a temporary loss of taste and smell somehow seems not worth a mention.

    And yet you've mentioned it how many times now 4:40 PM? I mentioned it in passing and would have forgotten about it by now.

    You must have no other response since you've resorted to comparing me to X. Regardless, this is unproductive and no doubt tedious to most readers here. I'm discontinuing this.

    Time to gain a perspective that sooner or later... we ALL have to deal with our own private 'hell' at one time or another (whether that may be a tornado, a fire, or loss of taste or smell with Covid, etc.)

    How about just praying for ALL who are suffering out there... and not be dismissive of any of it?

    4:47 PM,

    The main point of my post was that Omicron has not finished doing its thing, and Delta is still infecting people. My previous two posts in that sequence of three matched my hopes for the spring, but not the current reality in my state. It was bothering my conscience. I have no authority over you or anybody else. I'm not the government. But when I say something I don't say it as a paid shill or a bot. I am just an individual trying to learn the truth and share it. I will not encourage anybody to be reckless. If you want to be reckless you are free to be that way. I can't stop you.

    It seems to me that I must have stepped on some eggshells that are strewn on the floor inside somebody's comfort zone that I was expected to live inside and tiptoe around the eggshells inside. Sorry, but you're not in my family, and I don't work with you. I have no reason to behave as you expect.

    If you are going to get all paranoid about me just for that reason, then you're very far out in the weeds, and perhaps you need to come up for air now.

    We have the constant drip-drip-drip of the media to tell us that ad nauseam, 5:02 PM.
    The eggshell people, those who are uptight about probably everything, every single every thing, are the ones that mention their little frequent dramas when the world is really hurting out there, yet it's they that must "share"... and I can't, won't, stop you!
    I mean, times being what they are maybe all people with a hangnail should seize their moment and unite..

    The question is..why aren't people moving on from Covid and sequels drama by now?
    Don't answer that.
    Nobody wants to know.

    5:23 PM,

    All you had to do was to ignore me and then raise the topic you wished to discuss. Maybe try that next time.

    Another general suggestion for the overwhelmed internet user may be to stop creating fake FaceBook profiles to stalk people and "friend" them and then bother with all of their feeds with their many little dramas. Leaving people in peace, may result in more peace of mind.
