Is it up to us to know the times and seaons?

Socialism drives curiosity right out of its converts. It creates a religious like zeal to adhere to an ideology which gives its believers answers to multivariate complex issues without ever asking the right questions about the problems it claims to have the ability to solve. Surprisingly those most prone to this ideological possession are often quite clever. Clever enough to create technology which is detrimental to humanity while leaving them convinced that said technology liberates rather than enslaves. The Besservissers gathered in Davos are plotting our enslavement even as I type not because they're stupid but because they're clever enough to lie even to themselves where the emerging global order is leading us, and ultimately them, namely to their own demise!

For you who think the Lord’s return is eminent: 

Acts 1:7 NAS

7 But He said to them, “It is not for you to know periods of time or appointed times which the Father has set by His own authority;

Proverbs 12:1 NAS 

One who loves discipline loves knowledge, But one who hates rebuke is stupid.

Proverbs 25:2-3 NAS

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

3 As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable. 

Yet since we have been made kings, queens, and priests unto God let us examine the prevalent philosophy infecting social discourse, politics and indeed even the religious institutions of today. The only possible solution to the prevalent ideological pathogens is that we have more work to do as the Body of Christ!

The State's social engineering agenda and corporate policies have become indistinguishable. This blending of government and big business is the literal definition of fascism where the consumer and the citizen have no rights other than to accept the officially sanctioned narrative now being foisted upon us by corporate advertising. I cannot imagine anything more dystopian. We are witnessing elements of fascism and communism combined to herd  society like blind sheep to the slaughter even as MAID is being promoted as curative and untested drugs are forced en masse on the citizenry while folk are labeled as conspiracy theorists for noticing.

“......philosophical concepts nurtured in the stillness of a professor's study could destroy a civilization....but if professors can truly wield this fatal power, may it not be that only other professors, or, at least, other thinkers can alone disarm them?” ― Isaiah Berlin, Four Essays on Liberty

The people who are attending Davos are incapable of comprehending the consequences of, or adhering to, their own dogma yet they are lecturing us as to how we must live even as they live in entitled privilege carbonizing the planet. This is proof they don't really believe in net-zero carbon; they just believe that they ought to control everything as though life is one big game of Monopoly with them and them alone owning and controlling capital, resources, production, and information! 

But the role of the Church is to be salt and light in the world. So be salt and light then!

The war on reason began long ago when the Church abandoned its role of being the salt of the earth. Jesus specifically defined the role of the church in society as that of salt and light. Salt preserves and seasons. Light illuminates darkness and reflects the glory of God.

When the church compromises and becomes more like the world, it loses its flavor and, as Jesus said, "is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men."

Many today are holding to a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof. From such we are commanded to turn away.

The nihilism of Friedrich Nietzsche was the direct result of a weakened Church which was no longer acting as the salt of the earth and the light of mankind.

The following excerpt is taken from https://iep.utm.edu/nihilism/

“Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy. While few philosophers would claim to be nihilists, nihilism is most often associated with Friedrich Nietzsche who argued that its corrosive effects would eventually destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions and precipitate the greatest crisis in human history. In the 20th century, nihilistic themes–epistemological failure, value destruction, and cosmic purposelessness–have preoccupied artists, social critics, and philosophers. Mid-century, for example, the existentialists helped popularize tenets of nihilism in their attempts to blunt its destructive potential. By the end of the century, existential despair as a response to nihilism gave way to an attitude of indifference, often associated with antifoundationalism.

It has been over a century now since Nietzsche explored nihilism and its implications for civilization. As he predicted, nihilism’s impact on the culture and values of the 20th century has been pervasive, its apocalyptic tenor spawning a mood of gloom and a good deal of anxiety, anger, and terror. Interestingly, Nietzsche himself, a radical skeptic preoccupied with language, knowledge, and truth, anticipated many of the themes of postmodernity. It’s helpful to note, then, that he believed we could–at a terrible price–eventually work through nihilism. If we survived the process of destroying all interpretations of the world, we could then perhaps discover the correct course for humankind.”

Nietzsche didn’t exactly rejoice when he declared God was dead and that we had killed Him. He stated that there wouldn’t be enough water to wash away the blood of such a crime. 

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

In this he predicted the mayhem of the 20th Century which occurred in the absence of a Church powerful enough to stop it. After the bloody terror of WWI which the Church had failed to condemn Christianity lost its moral prerogative as a force to liberate humanity from the tyranny and totalitarianism which inevitably follows in the wake of the nihilistic absence of God. Without Christianity acting as the cultural glue to maintain civil society, civil society simply ceases to exist. 

In the absence of God mankind attempted to create organizations which operate as unifying global forces, first with the League of Nations which was followed by the UN. NATO, the EU, the WEF, and the WHO are also extensions of this attempt to replace Godly order with manmade institutions aimed at bringing peace, ending hunger, and creating a sustainable environment. Except for the fact they have failed. What we see emerging today is the very fulfillment of the metaphor for the Tower of Babel where the global elite are attempting to build a system which will reach unto heaven. In the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, and remember that correct name for the book please, since it was written by the Apostle John specifically to reveal Christ to His body the Church, John writes of the fall of Babylon the Great. But where did this globalist ideology originate and what drives the thinking behind it, other than the obvious rejection of the need for God? By this I mean what manner of belief system has replaced the need for God? For this is what is being forced upon us by those who are meeting in Davos.

First it involved man creating his own value structure apart from the knowledge of God, however since Christianity had defined Western values and thinking for almost two millennia that proved to be an impossible task. Moreover, the magnitude of such an endeavour required the elite class to create new values while socially re-engineering humanity to adopt them. At the core of this is the false notion that we are born “tabula rasa’, a blank slate, and that mankind therefore is infinitely malleable. Their goal is to move humanity, or as Trudeau might call it “peoplekind”, toward some unattainable utopia where universal harmony and peace are to be found, albeit over some yet unseen horizon. This requires a rejection of the belief we are all created in the Divine image and therefore are all precious and unique in the sight of God. Our individuality must be subsumed into a faceless social collective. In this collective there is only us versus them, victim versus victimizer, where all live in a zero-sum nightmare. Which is why we are seeing such an emphasis placed on transhumanism and transsexuality. The Postmodern elite are therefore trying to turn us into something we literally cannot be. This is the fulfillment of what Nietzsche meant by the Übermensch, the ideal superior man of the future who could rise above conventional Christian morality to create and impose his own values, originally described by Nietzsche in Thus Spake Zarathustra (1883–85).

But by what means has society become infected by this pathological ideology?

In Dr. Gad Saad’s book, “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense” the forward reads, “There's a war against truth... and if we don't win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.

The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than it is today by the stifling forces of political correctness.

Dr. Gad Saad, the host of the enormously popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, exposes the bad ideas—what he calls “idea pathogens”—that are killing common sense and rational debate. Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms—including freedom of thought and speech.”

But there’s an even more sinister source which Dr. Saad doesn’t refer to. WWI, WWII, the Cold War and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Russia, and now the growing threat from CCP led China resulted in an extensive and intrusive increase in secret service activities throughout the entire world. I do not think there could be a greater threat to democracy and the rule of law than having clandestine organizations conducting illegal activities without parliamentary scrutiny.

Wild Bill Donovan brought the Frankfurt School into the organization which was the precursor to the CIA to combat Nazism and Soviet Communism. As for Kissinger, he was responsible for creating detente with China. Clandestine operations in a democracy with responsible government are oxymoronic, with the emphasis on moronic.

Dr. Klaus Schwab or: How the CFR Taught Me to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

“The World Economic Forum wasn’t simply the brainchild of Klaus Schwab, but was actually born out of a CIA-funded Harvard program headed by Henry Kissinger and pushed to fruition by John Kenneth Galbraith and the “real” Dr. Strangelove, Herman Kahn. This is the amazing story behind the real men who recruited Klaus Schwab, who helped him create the World Economic Forum, and who taught him to stop worrying and love the b/

The World Economic Forum’s recorded history has been manufactured to appear as though the organisation was a strictly European creation, but this isn’t so. In fact, Klaus Schwab had an elite American political team working in the shadows that aided him in creating the European-based globalist organisation. If you have a decent knowledge of Klaus Schwab’s history, you will know that he attended Harvard in the 1960s where he would meet then-Professor Henry A. Kissinger, a man with whom Schwab would form a lifelong friendship. But, as with most information from the annals of the World Economic Forum’s history books, what you’ve been told is not the full story. In fact, Kissinger would recruit Schwab at the International seminar at Harvard, which had been funded by the US’ Central Intelligence Agency. Although this funding was exposed the year in which Klaus Schwab left Harvard, the connection has gone largely unnoticed – until now.

My research indicates that the World Economic Forum is not a European creation. In reality, it is instead an operation which emanates from the public policy grandees of the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixonian eras of American politics; all of whom had ties to the Council on Foreign Relations and the associated “Round Table” Movement, with a supporting role played by the Central Intelligence Agency.

There were three extremely powerful and influential men, Kissinger among them, who would lead Klaus Schwab towards their ultimate goal of complete American Empire-aligned global domination via the creation of social and economic policies. In addition, two of the men were at the core of manufacturing the ever present threat of global thermonuclear war. By examining these men through the wider context of the geopolitics of the period, I will show how their paths would cross and coalesce during the 1960s, how they recruited Klaus Schwab through a CIA-funded program, and how they were the real driving force behind the creation of the World Economic Forum.”

But you see the one thing that such clandestine activities lack the tools to counter is the fact that the Body of Christ has been created to be the salt and light of the earth by Divine commission. While the elite may operate behind the scenes and under a veil of secrecy and darkness where we go, we spread Truth and Light. But only if we dare to speak Truth in the face of the devious lies being foisted on society by those who are at enmity with our Faith. And we can only shed that light when the people of God are fed the meat of the Word and operate as God intended where all exercise their gifts to glorify God. We have not been baptised by the Holy Ghost into a passive faith. We were not made to sit and listen to one preacher speaking only to respond when he tells us to respond. This is an unthinking form of religion and one which lacks power. This form of meeting we inherited from Catholicism since our Protestant ancestors did little to return the Church to the passionate manner of gatherings written about in the New Testament which defines how the believers are to conduct ourselves when they meet.

From 1 Corinthians 14 NASB:

26 What is the outcome then, brothers and sisters? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All things are to be done for edification. 

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it must be by two or at the most three, and each one in turn, and one is to interpret; 

28 but if there is no interpreter, he is to keep silent in church; and have him speak to himself and to God. 

29 Have two or three prophets speak, and have the others pass judgment. 

30 But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, then the first one is to keep silent. 

31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; 

32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; 

33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.

Receiving Christ is based upon revelation of Him which has been made freely available to all who believe but the path that comes after that is narrow and fraught with danger. Do not hope to escape your obligation to stand against the prevalent perversion of Truth and expect that you will not pay a price when you do. This series is dedicated to providing you with the tools to counter falsehood. This requires that we study to show ourselves approved by God. We must come to know Him better and understand the ideological position of those who seek to propagate the prevailing antihuman agenda of an elite class who seek to enslave our fellow man.  

Galatians 5:1 NASB It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

It is not up to us to know when he will return but it is up to us to be found doing His work when he does!

A lesson in Godly investment from the Gospel of Matthew

On the death of evidence-based reasoning:

Socialists refuse to judge you by the evidence of your actions rather they judge by what they falsely assume motivates those actions. This has become the psychic plague of our time. We have entered an accusatory labyrinth where guilt is being determined not by what you do but by what socialists wrongly assume motivated you to do it.

And since socialist ideology declares itself to be based on dialectical materialism their own ideology states that their motives are based upon the greed and the power required to dominate others to force them to relinquish their property and their autonomy to the socialist collective. Therefore, when those who believe in individual autonomy are mischaracterized by them that mischaracterization is merely narcissistic projection. The socialist is simply accusing you of being motivated by the same base impulses that they are.

So here we are confronted with a spiritual challenge, namely the need for discernment. A discernment which can only result from having a revelatory understanding of the Living Word of God.

Hebrews 4:12, KJV: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I have noted this is a real problem for many Christians, me included. I have often attempted to reason with those who are under the influence of ideological error using rational discourse and reason. It doesn’t work. Why doesn’t it work? Because we fail to identify the real motive of the heart. Our own motives foremost, then what motivates others. In order to understand what our own motivations are requires self examination in the light of revelation. And that process is never pleasant. Nevertheless, this is an essential daily prayerful exercise without which we cannot hope to serve the Lord properly. When examining what motivates others, we must first seek to understand them. By that I mean not to wallow in their confusion, but rather to understand the source of their confusion and if that source is ideological what that ideology states that has influenced them.

1 Timothy 6:3-5 ESV:

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.

Colossians 2:8 ESV:

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Ephesians 4:14 ESV:

So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Be aware what constitutes sin and motivates a corrupted heart:

The church has long taught that the Seven Deadly Sins are Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Please forgive me but this reads a bit like Justin Trudeau’s CV.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." – Sir Winston Churchill 

What is the Zero-Sum Game of socialist belief? 

The term Zero-Sum Game is generally used in game theory to refer to a situation in which any gains (such as profits or benefits) accumulated by one participant is offset by the accumulated losses of one or more other participants.

Basically, if one person acquires value, another person loses value in the game. The total value in the game is not expanded. 

This term is commonly used in economics theory and negotiation practice. 

In negotiations, distributive negotiations such as the redistribution of resources and wealth are generally considered zero-sum. Integrative negotiations seek positive-sum opportunities – these are also called non-zero-sum opportunities or win-win situations.

In terms of economic theory, capitalists tend to view national economies to be a non-zero-sum game (economic activity creates additional value through increased economic activity that spreads about and benefits everybody - though not equally).

Socialists, on the other hand, generally view national economies as a zero-sum game (if A grows $1 richer, this value was at the expense of another participant in the economy) which is why they insist on the necessity of the redistribution of resources and capital. This obviously requires them to place greater emotional value on equity as opposed to actual performance since capitalism outperforms socialism on both fronts. By this I mean that it allows the marginalized a pathway to increase their economic well-being through personal endeavours while cultivating good habits as opposed to the victimization narrative that socialists rely on. 

The fact that the marginalized do not fare better under socialism takes us back to my initial assertion. Socialists won't judge based upon evidence of the result of a set of actions rather they judge by what they falsely assume was the motive for said actions. This has become the psychic plague of our time. Which is why we have entered an accusatory labyrinth where fault of a belief system is being determined not by what those beliefs accomplish but by what socialists wrongly assume motivated those beliefs. 

The Divine method of increasing capital:

A God centred story of Investment from Matthew 25

14-18 “It’s also like a man going off on an extended trip. He called his servants together and delegated responsibilities. To one he gave five thousand dollars, to another two thousand, to a third one thousand, depending on their abilities. Then he left. Right off, the first servant went to work and doubled his master’s investment. The second did the same. But the man with the single thousand dug a hole and carefully buried his master’s money.

19-21 “After a long absence, the master of those three servants came back and settled up with them. The one given five thousand dollars showed him how he had doubled his investment. His master commended him: ‘Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.’

22-23 “The servant with the two thousand showed how he also had doubled his master’s investment. His master commended him: ‘Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.’

24-25 “The servant given one thousand said, ‘Master, I know you have high standards and hate careless ways, that you demand the best and make no allowances for error. I was afraid I might disappoint you, so I found a good hiding place and secured your money. Here it is, safe and sound down to the last cent.’

26-27 “The master was furious. ‘That’s a terrible way to live! It’s criminal to live cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do less than the least? The least you could have done would have been to invest the sum with the bankers, where at least I would have gotten a little interest.

28-30 “‘Take the thousand and give it to the one who risked the most. And get rid of this “play-it-safe” who won’t go out on a limb. Throw him out into utter darkness.’

These difficult truths will be to many a stumbling block. But they are evidently manifested as reality in the Pareto Principle. 80% of the wealth is owned by 20% of the people because 20% of the people are doing 80% of the work and even under the redistribution of socialism the wealthiest are invariably the socialist elite. There is no escaping from the Divine Truth revealed in Matthew 25, no matter how much the envious, narcissistic, lazy, and accusatory leaders corrupting Godly order may wish to, God will not be mocked. 

The Word of God vs Postmodernism

 

In this first vodcast of the “Food for the Faithful” series I want us to look at how the God of all creation operates. Simply put, He creates reality by speaking it into existence. This process of creation involves His Son who is the living Word of God. The Postmodernist doctrine infecting society today seeks to do the opposite. It attempts to give language the power to uncreate as opposed to create. It doesn’t merely seek to destroy or undermine; it seeks to call that which plainly and manifestly exists into non-existence. But the power which calls all things into existence, the very Light of Life, cannot be put out. And so, I will read to you from the Gospel of John 1: 1-5 taken from the impactful Bible translation of Eugene Peterson known as The Message:

The Life-Light

1 1-2 The Word was first,

    the Word present to God,

    God present to the Word.

The Word was God,

    in readiness for God from day one.

3-5 Everything was created through him;

    nothing—not one thing!—

    came into being without him.

What came into existence was Life,

    and the Life was Light to live by.

The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;

    the darkness couldn’t put it out.

And from John 1:14-15 this time from the 21st Century King James Version (KJ21):

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His 

glory, the glory as of the only Begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.

And from Colossians 1:16-17 from the New American Standard Bible:

16 for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 

17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

These readings demonstrate the importance of the Word since by the Word all things are not merely created but held together. Which is why Postmodernists seek to deconstruct language. They seek to nullify what cannot be invalidated, namely reality itself. And they do so violently. I refer to the brutal censoring from those who claim to be “WOKE”. Note their choice of wording here, WOKE has replaced the Light of Christ. I cannot emphasise sufficiently the need to understand where this ideology originates since if permitted it will come after the fellowships where we gather and to our places of employment in an attempt to force us to conform to language aimed at nullifying the reality held together by the Living Word.

The deconstructionists:

Who were they? One of their leading philosophers was Jacques Derrida. What is the main point of Derrida's theory of deconstruction?

The point of the deconstructive analysis is to restructure, or “displace,” the opposition, not simply to reverse it. For Derrida, the most telling and pervasive opposition is the one that treats writing as secondary to or derivative of speech.

Let us examine, as though anyone of faith would wish to other than out of our present necessity at the deeply perverted, disturbed and deviant thinking of Postmodernists.

Deconstruction according to Derrida

Etymology

Derrida's original use of the word "deconstruction" was a translation of Destruktion, a concept from the work of Martin Heidegger that Derrida sought to apply to textual reading. Heidegger's term referred to a process of exploring the categories and concepts that tradition has imposed on a word, and the history behind them.

Basic philosophical concerns

Derrida's concerns flow from a consideration of several issues:

A desire to contribute to the re-evaluation of all Western values, a re-evaluation built on the 18th-century Kantian critique of pure reason, and carried forward to the 19th century, in its more radical implications, by Kierkegaard and Nietzsche.

An assertion that texts outlive their authors, and become part of a set of cultural habits equal to, if not surpassing, the importance of authorial intent.

A re-valuation of certain classic western dialectics: poetry vs. philosophy, reason vs. revelation, structure vs. creativity, episteme vs. techne, etc.

To this end, Derrida follows a long line of modern philosophers, who look backwards to Plato and his influence on the Western metaphysical tradition. Like Nietzsche, Derrida suspects Plato of dissimulation in the service of a political project, namely the education, through critical reflections, of a class of citizens more strategically positioned to influence the polis. However, like Nietzsche, Derrida is not satisfied merely with such a political interpretation of Plato, because of the particular dilemma modern humans find themselves in. His Platonic reflections are inseparably part of his critique of modernity, hence the attempt to be something beyond the modern, because of this Nietzschean sense that the modern has lost its way and become mired in nihilism.

What is the main principle of deconstruction?

Deconstruction generally tries to demonstrate that any text is not a discrete whole but contains several irreconcilable and contradictory meanings; that any text therefore has more than one interpretation; that the text itself links these interpretations inextricably; that the incompatibility of these interpretations.

So, after that painful hiatus away from the Word of God we can see what it is the disgruntled Marxists who invented Postmodern ideology are attempting to do. Since the Scriptures themselves make it abundantly clear that the very universe was called into existence and is being upheld by the Word of God, USE IT! Refuse to debate with Postmodernists using their language, use God’s Word instead and if they reject it so be it, do not continue to cast pearls before swine. They are not interested in ethics, epistemology, and ontology since Postmodernist ideology rejects them! You will never win an argument by conceding to their deconstruction of language for the moment you concede to using their definition of words you will have become complicit with them.

Announcing Food for the Faithful

 

I must confess something to you. I lied. I stated I wasn't going to do this again. That I was finished with my vodcasting and blogging. 

Announcing "Food for the Faithful" which is the remaking of my YouTube channel to reflect a shift away from appealing to a general audience to speak directly to believers. This is my attempt to engage those who share my hope in Christ to prepare us for a battle which seeks to end our right to practice our faith freely and without censor. I will leave proselytizing the unbeliever to others who are more qualified.

My goal:

In an age of delusion, I aim to provide believers with the tools needed to counter the enemy's lies. Postmodernism, Critical Race Theory, Diversity, Inclusiveness, Equity, WOKE, Net-Zero are all variations on a theme. Namely the belief that life is a zero-sum game, a Malthusian nightmare where resources are so finite that the state must redistribute them. These ideas are a distillation of the Dialectical Materialism of Marx and Engels aimed at destroying the Christian values upon which Western liberalism and democracy rely. This channel is dedicated to providing Christians with the meat of the Word of God sorely lacking in Christian circles today. As the Bible states in Isaiah 55:11 NKJV "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." May the Lord of Battles prepare us & grant us the revelation of Christ crucified and risen needed to fight the good fight!

I suppose many of you will not find my epistle loving in the sense that you may have hoped it would be. I want to speak with you all about returning to a primitive and Biblical form of worship free of organized religion. But before I do we need some context. From Mark 2:22 NAS: “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.” We have a clear pattern for how the New Testament church met, was ministered to, functioned, gathered, and worshipped during the first century laid down in the Scriptures. It astounds me how many believers who appear to be very zealous in the practice of their beliefs choose to ignore what the Scriptures clearly state.

Let us look at how no one operates without the mark of beast of Big Government attached to Big Organized religion today. Pay close attention to the fact that no one buys or sells in the name of their religious organization without the mark of, you guessed it, the beast.

Why this bugs me, from Revelation 13 NAS Bible:

16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six *.

Martin Luther’s Views on the Antichrist

Dennis Pettibone

Southern Adventist University

“In the warm ecumenical afterglow of Vatican II, Martin Luther’s identification of the papacy as the Antichrist of Bible prophecy is often seen as narrow-minded, bigoted, and even unchristian. His view, which until recently was shared by a broad spectrum of conservative Evangelical Protestants, is now seen as an embarrassment by some members of churches that retain this interpretation. It is no longer socially acceptable to describe the papacy as the fulfillment of a collection of prophecies regarding a powerful spiritual tyranny.

Even the United States Congress has put itself on record regarding this issue. In 2000 Congress passed a joint resolution condemning Bob Jones University for promoting this belief. The politicians who passed that resolution were probably unaware that they were undermining the historical foundations of Protestantism, but this is the logical inference one can make from this significant observation by Professor Phillip Cary of Eastern University: “The Reformation wouldn’t have happened without the conviction that the pope was Antichrist.”

Since this conviction is one that most contemporary Protestants have discarded, Cary—who describes himself as an “ecumenical minded Protestant” — challenges his fellow Protestants: “If the pope isn’t the Antichrist, what right do you have to be split?” If Protestantism owes its very existence to Luther’s conviction that the papacy was the Antichrist, it might be instructive to inquire why Luther held this view and under what circumstances he came to this conclusion. We will see that he came to this view slowly and reluctantly, driven by historical circumstances and theological reflection. We will also briefly note the comparable views of other Protestant Reformers and their predecessors. Looking at the idea that the papacy is the Antichrist of prophecy in its historical context might give us a rational basis for evaluating it. We will focus primarily on Luther because it was his views on the subject that triggered the Protestant Reformation. However, we should note that Luther was far from the first person to hold this view. Luther himself credited John Huss with being the first to call the pope an Antichrist. Huss did indeed consider the Pope to be the Antichrist, but he was not the first to do so, nor was his mentor, John Wycliffe, although Wycliffe and at least some of his Lolland followers, including Sir John Oldcastle, held this belief. This idea also circulated among the Waldensians, the Albigensians, and the Fraticelli, a group of Franciscans with more regard for the rule of St. Francis than for papal authority. But even earlier than that, back in 991, Bishop Arnulf of Orleans, describing papal murder, lust, and intrigue, asked, “Are there any bold enough to maintain that the priests of the Lord over all the world are to take their law from monsters of guilt like these . . .?” When a person so deficient in virtue sits on the papal throne, Arnulf suggested that he must “be the ‘Antichrist, sitting in the temple of God, and showing himself as God.’” Martin Luther was probably unaware of the previous attacks on the papacy when, in 1517, he drafted his 95 Theses. If he had been, he would have been unsympathetic. At the time he regarded John Huss as a heretic. His target was not the papacy; it was a greedy Dominican monk named Johann Tetzel who was distorting Catholic doctrine by exaggerating the benefits of indulgences. Luther had no intention of splitting the church: he was only trying to protect his parishioners.” - end of quote

Well, there’s the trouble you see. The reformers knew that the Roman Church was based upon the rule of a false Bishop in Rome who claimed to be able to absolve sin, have the power over heaven, earth, and hell to bind and loose (hence the Pope’s three-tiered helmet) and uses of keys representing this as one of his symbols. From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_regalia_and_insignia#:~:text=The%20keys%20are%20gold%20and%20silver%20to%20represent,%22governor%20of%20the%20world%22%20and%20%22Vicar%20of%20Christ%22

“The crossed keys symbolise the keys of Simon Peter. The keys are gold and silver to represent the power of loosing and binding. The triple crown (the tiara) symbolizes the triple power of the Pope as "father of kings", "governor of the world" and "Vicar of Christ". Pictured above is the seal of the Vatican City The gold cross on a monde (globe) surmounting the tiara symbolizes the sovereignty of Jesus.” 

The Anti-Christ of the Bible did not mean the “against Christ” as many modern Christians have come to assume but rather “the in the place of Christ” where the Pope took the place of Christ to an apostate church.

Furthermore, even though the reformers knew that the Pope represented the office of the Anti-Christ they attempted to rework the fallen church by putting new wine into an old wineskin. Brethren our righteous ancestors did not go near far enough in returning to the pattern laid down in the New Testament which defines the nature of Christ’s body here on earth. If we are to glorify Christ, we are commissioned to recover it. For it is that glorification that will usher in His return.

The Body of Christ is an organism, not an organization. Reworked Roman Catholicism with the remnants of its Papal excesses, worship of images and relics, superstition, and mummery only blind believers to the unvarnished Truth of Christ which can only be manifested in a gathering unencumbered by the remnants of the old religion. The very religion which bastardized primitive Christian gatherings to create an organized corporatized big government sanctioned religion where no man bought or sold without the image of the beast of state control and licensing. That beloved is the diametric opposite of Godly!

I want to speak with you about the actual origins of COVID19

 

The Cassandra Metaphor is a term given to situations where legitimate warnings are either dismissed for being too fantastic or disbelieved because they challenge the commonly held narrative. The metaphor originated in Greek mythology and referred to Cassandra who was the daughter of Priam the King of Troy. The Greek God Apollo was overcome by her beauty and so gave Cassandra the gift of prophecy, however when Cassandra rejected Apollo’s romantic overtures, he cursed her prophecies so that no one would believe her warnings. This left Cassandra fatalistically knowing that disaster and ruin were impending, yet unable to do anything to stop them.

https://psychology.fandom.com/wiki/Cassandra_(metaphor)#:~:text=The%20Cassandra%20metaphor%20%28variously%20labelled%20the%20Cassandra%20%27syndrome%27%2C,a%20daughter%20of%20Priam%2C%20the%20King%20of%20Troy.

“The metaphor has been applied in a variety of contexts such as psychology, environmentalism, politics, science, cinema, the corporate world, and in philosophy, and has been in circulation since at least 1949 when French philosopher Gaston Bachelard coined the term 'Cassandra Complex' to refer to a belief that things could be known in advance.[1]

Psychology

The Cassandra metaphor is applied by some psychologists to individuals who experience physical and emotional suffering as a result of distressing personal perceptions, and who are disbelieved when they attempt to share the cause of their suffering with others.

Disability and Neurodivergence

Many people on the Autism spectrum, and people with disabilities, have suffered abuse and died at the hands of caregivers and institutions as a result of not being believed when they attempt to communicate their experiences of abuse. Professionals contribute to this when they dismiss signs of trauma and distress as symptoms of the person's diagnosed condition. This reflects the larger problem of professionals neglecting to get to know neurodivergent and Disabled persons as individuals with important perspectives and insights, instead viewing them through experience-distant diagnostic criteria.

Paradoxically, the Cassandra Syndrome has been conceived to apply to neurotypical partners who try to communicate to professionals that the problem resides in their Autistic partners when conflict arises between them. In this narrative, mental health professionals exacerbate the parties' troubles by blaming the distressed neuro-typical partner for being an alarmist, for having inappropriate anxiety which feeds into problems and for having unrealistic parenting expectations of the other parent. This is no more helpful than attributing problems solely to Autistic partners.

Melanie Klein

In 1963, psychologist Melanie Klein provided an interpretation of Cassandra as representing the human moral conscience whose main task is to issue warnings. Cassandra as moral conscience, "predicts ill to come and warns that punishment will follow and grief arise." Cassandra's need to point out moral infringements and subsequent social consequences is driven by what Klein calls "the destructive influences of the cruel super-ego," which is represented in the Greek myth by the god Apollo, Cassandra's overlord and persecutor. Klein's use of the metaphor centers on the moral nature of certain predictions, which tends to evoke in others "a refusal to believe what at the same time they know to be true, and expresses the universal tendency toward denial, [with] denial being a potent defence against persecutory anxiety and guilt.” – end of quote

I know how Cassandra must have felt. Moreover, it is quite likely I exist somewhere on the autistic spectrum with the probable candidate being Asperger’s Syndrome, on top of which I suffer from OCD. But as they often say, just because you’re crazy doesn’t mean you haven’t seen something that others often may have ignored. So, I have the sad comfort of knowing that in the unlikely event someone would care to check my warnings, they are all recorded on this channel. You will find that they have proven to be frighteningly accurate.

In a recent interview between Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Matt Ridley they went into an in-depth look at the origins of COVID19 and as I have been stating since early 2020 there are far too many smoking guns to believe that what the authorities were telling us was truthful. You may watch this interview here at: https://youtu.be/FEh5JyZC218

Anyone who followed closely the story of Pfizer BioNTech, its association with the Wuhan Institute of Virology located at Ground Zero of the outbreak, the fact that the creation of mRNA technology and the emergence of Covid19 coincide, that Canada as well as the US and Great Britain sent deadly live pathogens to that location, that Chinese scientists loyal to the CCP were detained by the RCMP for doing so who had worked at our level 4 bio-pathogen lab in Winnipeg and that high level diplomats whom I knew of were aware that something was coming no later than September of 2019 all indicate that this wasn't a pandemic, rather it was a PLANDEMIC!

The following story was published by CBC on July 14, 2019, entitled “Chinese researcher escorted from infectious disease lab amid RCMP investigation”

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/chinese-researcher-escorted-from-infectious-disease-lab-amid-rcmp-investigation-1.5211567

“A researcher with ties to China was recently escorted out of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation into what's being described as a possible "policy breach."

Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, her husband Keding Cheng and an unknown number of her students from China were removed from Canada's only level-4 lab on July 5, CBC News has learned.

A Level 4 virology facility is a lab equipped to work with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases. That makes the Arlington Street lab one of only a handful in North America capable of handling pathogens requiring the highest level of containment, such as Ebola.

Security access for the couple and the Chinese students was revoked, according to sources who work at the lab and do not want to be identified because they fear consequences for speaking out.

Sources say this comes several months after IT specialists for the NML entered Qiu's office after-hours and replaced her computer. Her regular trips to China also started being denied.

At meetings on July 8, NML staff were told the researchers are on leave for an unknown period of time. They were told not to communicate with them.

Qiu is a prominent virologist who helped develop ZMapp, a treatment for the deadly Ebola virus which killed more than 11,000 people in West Africa between 2014-2016.

She worked with Gary Kobinger, who is now a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and director of the Research Centre on Infectious Diseases at Laval University in Quebec.

Affiliated with Chinese university

Qiu is a medical doctor from Tianjin, China, who came to Canada for graduate studies in 1996. She is still affiliated with the university there and has brought in many students over the years to help with her work.

Currently head of the Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies section in the Special Pathogens Program at the lab, Qiu's primary field is immunology. Her research focuses on vaccine development, post-exposure therapeutics and rapid diagnostics of viruses like Ebola.

She is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology at the University of Manitoba.

Cheng also works at the lab as a biologist. He has published research papers on HIV infections, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), E. coli infections and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Syndrome.” – end quote

And let us look at the following;

“Weaponizing Medicine: China’s Latest Theft a Potential Biological Weapon” by Christopher Burgess / Aug 15, 2019 https://news.clearancejobs.com/2019/08/15/weaponizing-medicine-chinas-latest-theft-a-potential-biological-weapon/

“On the heels of finding that the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) had its level 3 and 4 biological research labs sanctioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we learn that many of those same viruses that USAMRIID was researching are on their way to China, courtesy of a Canadian laboratory.

In early July 2019, Xiangguo Qui, a Chinese scientist at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, was dismissed and her ties with the University of Manitoba cut. What makes this somewhat unusual is that Qui is recognized globally as one of the leading researchers on infectious diseases. Furthermore, Qui is credited with being instrumental in creating a new drug for treating the Ebola virus. Despite her accomplishments, the CBC reports that Qui, her husband Keding Cheng, and her students were “forcibly dispatched from the facility on July 5.

In response to pathogen samples being sent to China, the National Microbiology Laboratory spokesperson commented:

“To advance scientific work worldwide, the National Microbiology Laboratory routinely shares samples of pathogens and toxins with partner laboratories in Canada and in other countries. These transfers follow strict protocols.”

FROM CANADA TO CHINA, WITH LOVE: HENIPAVIRUS AND EBOLA

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating the sharing of Ebola, as well as a second pathogen, a henipavirus, which in real life kills 100% of those infected. While the lab claims this is normal and is part of the global research into deadly pathogens, the potential transfer of knowledge to China may be advancing their biological weapons program.

In a research paper published by the National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine, the authors note, “Continued outbreaks of Henipaviruses in South Asia and Australia cause severe and lethal disease in both humans and animals. Together, with evidence of human to human transmission for Nipah virus and the lack of preventative or therapeutic measures, its threat to cause a widespread outbreak and its potential for weaponization has increased. ”

Providing the henipavirus to China would seem to feed the weaponization narrative. One could also argue that given the proximity of the henipavirus outbreaks in South Asia, research into treatment is a high priority for China.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT OF THE VIRUS?

The Ebola treatment drug, ZMapp, in which Qui had a collaborative hand, has already been cloned (pun intended) by a Chinese company, even though the the experimental drug was under patent. The Chinese firm, Mabworks, admitted they had duplicated the drug without authorization, and then continued working with researchers in Canada.

Digging into Qui’s dismissal, coupled with the obtuse and contradictory statements coming out of named and unnamed sources to the Canadian press, the worst case scenario is that Qui, her husband and research students made possible an unauthorized transfer of technology and deadly pathogens to China. They facilitated the theft of research and pathogen strains by China. The other end of the spectrum has Qui being investigated for administrative lapses which exposed intellectual property to a foreign entity in an unauthorized manner, though without malice or interest in advancing China’s biological weapons program, nor putting coin into her own pocket.

Bottom line?

China now has samples of the heniparvirus and research from the Canadian National Lab, which may be useful in advancing China’s biological weapons program, occurring at a time the USAMRIID’s defensive biological research lab is shut down.” – end quote

They did much worse than weaponize medicine, yes, they took it even further than developing a bioweapon, they politicised medicine to use it as a tool to further the dialectical materialism of a full-blown Communist Revolution. COVID 19 became the primary motivator for the largest transference of wealth in human history from the common person to the elite who seek to control everything!

I've never trusted the State, ever. Only a fool would, or perhaps someone who uses the State’s apparatus to their own manipulative ends. But I'll do one better, people who do so are responsible for creating totalitarian regimes. It's that simple. Each and every time totalitarianism has emerged the leaders of the revolution simply told a sufficient number of their citizens what the citizens wished to hear to foment that revolution. So, what people who have placed their faith in Big Government have done here in Canada is unconscionable!

Christians often fall prey to the simplistic belief that Bible prophecies refer to one specific historic event in history that will never be repeated. They who do so forget that the Bible, like Greek Mythology, is full of metaphorical truths about human nature, mass psychology, and the psychic events which ensue from that mass formation. Everything that will happen has also happened in a similar fashion in the past, albeit on a much smaller scale. The story of the Tower of Babel refers to what invariably happens when a sufficiently large number of people place their faith in the State apparatus which is then destined to collapse under its own weight in confusion. We have replaced Father God with Mother Government. And she is an unholy idolatrous mother who has one goal, to feed off her offspring like a succubus. And mankind’s worship of her always has been, is, and always will be, idolatry!

Solzhenitsyn: Why we are accountable for everything

 

There's no more dangerous group of folks than those who think they already know what they have failed to understand. – Philosophy for Philistines

From an article written by Lt.-Gen. (retd) Michel Maisonneuve,  Special to National Post, Publishing date: Dec 01, 2022, entitled; 

“Lt.-Gen. (retd) Maisonneuve: Clearing the air about my anti-woke speech before I'm completely 'cancelled'

I have faith that we can fix what ails Canada with leadership, service, unity and courage”

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/clearing-the-air-about-my-anti-woke-speech-before-im-completely-cancelled?fbclid=IwAR2_h_JxWWmsONMPlvPQF-Y_aR73jeIyO5GPgSaAgWicjxhKEdZ2FiQua60#Echobox=1669905673

Sadly, General Maisonneuve, leadership cannot repair ideological possession. This nation is in the grip of a psychic attack on the very values, culture, and traditions which built it. Postmodern Cultural Marxists fully intend to continue to march through all of our institutions until they've completely corrupted and undermined them under the premise of the greatest oxymoronic assertion of all time, "Progressivism"!

Yesterday I wrote the following regarding the complete failure of the West’s energy policies accompanied as it invariably is by catastrophizing. This catastrophizing is nothing other than Globalist sanctioned “WOKE-speak” for, “If you don’t do as we tell you, you bigoted, racist Neanderthals, the climate will kill us even though we artificially create the very problems we tell you that only more government can solve and then use those very problems to rob you of your liberty and economic well-being and when that fails to solve the problems we created we will double down on robbing you of yet more liberty and economic well-being while leaving you to freeze in the dark because of the climate that we promised would kill you, so I guess that makes us right after all!

RE: Net Zero Carbon Emissions 

The ONLY thing which will be reduced to zero is our freedom. Make no mistake the climate catastrophizers are dialectical materialists fomenting a Marxist Revolution so they alone will control all the resources and wealth.

If you follow the Philosophy for Philistines’ vodcasts and blogs, you will have noted that I've not only stated that as clearly and precisely as I am able, but I've also provided those of you who care to listen with the tools to counter this cultural revolution. The Hegelian dialectic which was reworked into dialectical materialism by Marx and Engels is now being employed in such a blatantly obvious manner that even the legacy media in Canada are openly condemning Trudeau's obvious collusions with Xi Jinping and the CCP, the WEF, the WHO, etc., etc. The Freedom Convoy last year and the fallout from the failed hearing to determine if Trudeau had exceeded his legal mandate to govern when he invoked martial law have only widened and deepened the dialectical divide to form a psychic chasm which is the Grand Canyon of all ideological divides. This has left the nation riven with Canadians shouting at one another across a gulf so broad, deep, and wide that communication across it has become virtually impossible.

Things are about to get very ugly, and certainly not just here in Canada. I'm living proof of someone who has taken no pleasure in predicting the demise of limited government under proper parliamentary oversight and the Rule of Law. All one need do to determine if I spoke the truth is available for you to peruse at no cost at the Philosophy for Philistines channel. Its always free, always informative, and always exposes the dirty underbelly of the vile globalist agenda.

And as for our leadership, “…It was Solzhenitsyn who most crucially made the case that the terrible excesses of Communism could not be conveniently blamed on the corruption of the Soviet leadership, the ‘cult of personality’ surrounding Stalin, or the failure to put the otherwise stellar and admirable utopian principles of Marxism into proper practice. It was Solzhenitsyn who demonstrated that the death of millions and the devastation of many more were, instead, a direct causal consequence of the philosophy (worse, perhaps: the theology) driving the Communist system. The hypothetically egalitarian, universalist doctrines of Karl Marx contained hidden within them sufficient hatred, resentment, envy and denial of individual culpability and responsibility to produce nothing but poison and death when manifested in the world…” - An excerpt from Jordan Peterson’s foreword to the 50th Anniversary edition of Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago

Yes, Canada has become hypothetically egalitarian, where the universalist doctrines of Karl Marx contain the dialectical materialism of Communism with sufficient hatred, resentment, envy and denial of individual culpability and responsibility to produce nothing but poison and death being manifested here in Canada today! But there is an idea hidden within the Christian message which few appear to understand, certainly not as profoundly as Solzhenitsyn did. And as I asserted at the beginning of this paper, there is no more dangerous group of folks than those who think they already know what they have failed to understand. We are all accountable for one another’s behaviour and moral failings as well as for that of our own. This is why I assume the burden of writing the hard truths contained in these blogs which I can assure you is far from pleasant and enjoyable. Dealing with the sinful nature of man, indeed my own sin and finding salvation begins with me. This requires introspection and a rejection of narcissism in order to confront my own moral failings, for it is only then that I will be able to deal with the perverse rejection of God around me.

Here is something to think and pray about. Christ knew no sin, yet He became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. What does that mean? Christ metaphorically holds the position of being the only perfect man to have ever lived. The Scriptures make the fascinating assertion that He did so as the Son of Man, NOT, as the Son of God. Christ knew that He was personally accountable for everyone else’s behaviour and for what they believed. Therefore, he invited them to voluntarily place their faith in Him. So here we have the example of the Living Truth Himself, the very Logos by which God created the universe, assuming blame for sins which He did not commit. And what did he commission us to do? Namely the same by taking up our cross to follow Him. Everything that happens is in some way my fault. I must assume responsibility if I am to assist the Kingdom of God to come to earth so that His will may be done to counter the insane machinations of narcissistic lunatics in power who seek to enslave humanity with their toxic and Godless ideology. And moreover, that it is their error that I must also seek to address, for their error is my error too!
