Discussion

I find it interesting when Hollywood makes movies about people that call themselves “Christian.” I don’t mean the way they show the snobbery and uppishness that is portrayed in most side characters in modern movies and TV shows. But the main protagonist of a movie. I have two examples. The movies “Keys to the Kingdom” (1944) and “Hacksaw Ridge.” (2016)

In both these films they pick a group that teaches dissension. That these groups are the only way to heaven. As you can tell from the way I have worded things, these are two different groups. For the first movie it is Catholicism. For the second movie it is the Seventh Day Adventist.

I could go into the problems with these two groups. However, most would tune it out or just stop reading or listening. I am not here to go through a rehash of these issues about these groups, but about Hollywood. The movie industry. It was their choice to pick from these two groups. These two groups teach that they are the only way to heaven.

Now here I will get a different type of protest. Being that Christianity teaches that the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. As witnessed here:

John 14:6 NKJV – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Again, that is not the purpose of today’s teaching.

It is this reality that they picked these two groups. The mere fact that they did pick them still turns people away from the Truth. They will run to Catholicism, they will run to the Seventh Day Adventist, but not God. They run to man-made doctrines and teachings and not the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Now in both these movies they show the protagonist and someone that had been humbled. I will go a step further. I say that they show someone that is a true follower of Christ.

Yes, you heard me correctly, as once again confusion rears its head at what was just said.

If people would actually study the Bible for themselves. They would learn that what I just said has more bearing upon the Truth than what those in Hollywood would have wished to occur. Or yet another way to look at it. When teaching lies, they must have elements of truth shine through so that their lie will be a sweet taste upon the minds of those watching these films.

In both movies the lead character shows more true discipleship to Jesus Christ than anyone in the film or those watching. The thing is most don’t even register this truth, but if they do, they will seek it within the two man-made religions offered in these films.

Now I wish to make a point here. It will also show that how you look at the Word of God in a particular issue in some cases may give a view of the truth. Again, that many don’t wish to hear.

Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV – “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

I honestly believe, by the mere fact that Christianity still exists at all is due to that fact of those that have taken the narrow path for the last two thousand years. The majority of these years was under the manipulation of the Catholic Church. Yet Christianity still survived and surfaced. This was seen when Martin Luther started the Reformation nearly 1100 years after the Catholic Church came to power and made it illegal for the commoner to even read a Bible.

Are you starting to see? Are you starting to understand?

Most are now seeing how corrupt Hollywood is.

Allow me to give an example. Most in Hollywood use their “fame” to dictate to those that watch their films or TV shows. I remember when it was the unwritten law that those that performed as actors kept their personal lives separate from their roles. And thus, kept them secret. A prime example. Rock Hudson. A leading actor that most respected and liked his performances. He was the lead in many romance films. He even played a minister that was also a pilot in the Air Force, in a film I could have used as another example. However, due to what is about to be said it was best I didn’t. For it was revealed upon his death that in reality he was a homosexual and had a male partner most his life. The only reason this became known was because he died of AIDS. This news shocked the entire world. Now those that keep their personal lives and thoughts to themselves are the exception instead of the norm as it once had been.

This is the way Hollywood works though. It is an industry built around stories. Fiction. Lies. It encourages the worship of humanity. To cause those watching to esteem and emulate the protagonist. What does the Bible say about this esteeming?

Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”

Hollywood teachs people to become an abomination to God. It encourages them to seek after mammon. What is mammon?

Mammon – G3126 – mamónas – riches, money, possessions, property.

Mammon is that which is highly esteemed among men and especially those within the movie and TV industry. Just look at the theme of movies through the years. A core element in many is the seeking after the accumulation of mammon.  To have those watching to picking mammon over what is Godly.

Therefore, the majority of “entertainment” that is presented on the big screen and for that matter: the little screen in your houses.  These are designed to turn you from God. They teach those watching to glorify humans, never God. Also to distract you from reading the Word of God.

This verse makes it very clear so I will restate it.

Luke 16:13 NKJV – “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

The movie and television industry teaches and promotes mammon. Therefore, those presented in this industry can never serve God. Why never? Because it is made clear those in this industry serve and are loyal to mammon. Therefore, they despise God and all that goes with Him. This is seen in many ways if you just truly look and listen.

Now look at this verse from the Bible and place those being talked to here as those that are within the Hollywood industry.

John 8:44 NKJV – You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

By reinforcing that seeking after mammon those in this industry murder millions upon millions. Leading them to eternal damnation.

Look to 2 Peter.

2 Peter 2:1-19 NKJV – But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

Bondage that leads to eternal death. AKA murder of the soul for all eternity. Joining Satan and all that embrace becoming an abomination in the sight of the Lord through Jesus Christ.

God Bless

The challenges of true knowledge and understanding

Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , Leave a comment

Today I was exposed to two different sides of a coin that has become tarnished and corrupt. The coin is Hollywood. On the one side of the coin was a documentary called “Five Came Back.” On the other side was the movie “Silence.”
I watched “Silence” till the end and learned something about faith in God. I could not get partly through the second episode of “Five Came Back.” In the latter I heard words like “democracy,” and I noted the absence of words like “Socialist” and “Democrat.” From the former I learn the need to maintain true strength and belief in God even though it may result in doing so silently.
Now, however, is not the time for silence. Now is the time to speak, to write, to try and awaken those that have been lied to and those that have never been taught at all. What needs to be known is the truth. The very thing that many within Hollywood now wish to hide or may not even know what the real truth is about.
First off. Who are Nazis? Well, the truth is, they were Socialist. When Hitler took over the German Workers Party, he added two words to this group. “National” and “Socialist,” making it the National Socialist German Workers Party or as the acronym is none: Nazi.
So when these Socialist did not like what they heard they would riot and shout down those that did not think as they thought. That is how today’s Socialist respond when they beat up supports of the now President, Donald Trump. On college campuses in Socialist Germany they burned the Bible, they burned the works of Albert Einstein and others that did not support and agree with their Socialist agenda. In Berkley Socialist started fires to stop a so-called Conservative speaker from speaking. So as can be seen those that protest and yell and shout and scream and support a Socialist agenda in the United States today are the new Nazis. This is the truth, this is the facts. It is a Nazi agenda that is being pushed and supported by those in Hollywood, when they use words like “democracy.” Germany was and still is a democracy, the United States is not nor never has been a “democracy.” It is in reality a “Constitutional Republic,” thus the use of the Electoral College. So that the people on mass are represented not the majority. It is the majority, the minority, the rich and the poor that are represented by this republic.
The founding fathers of this nation dedicated this Republic to God. So for nearly two hundred years this nation prospered and grew. But ever present was events and actions that scarred this nation. Slavery until after a Civil War had to be fought. Slavery was not the only reason for this Civil War, it was also an attack upon the Republic. It was this part of the Civil War all lost. For those that caused slavery. Those that caused the internment of the American Japanese during World War II, and those that attacked and hunted Blacks will into the 1970s, known as the KKK, still existed and to this day still do exist. Except now their favorite pastime is the slaughter of the unborn. They are known as the Democratic Party and have once again embraces Socialism. President Roosevelt, who was the one that interned the Japanese once sang praises of Adolf Hitler during the 1930s, and enacted several government programs in the Nazi image, which worsened the Great Depression.
It is the Socialist deepest desire to silence all that oppose them like the Nazis did in the 1930s. One of their biggest threats are those that truely support freedom and free-will, that being those that truly understand and know the Bible. That is why Christians are under attack. To them, all that the Bible teaches is counter to their desire to control and manipulate. For the Bible does not teach this. The Bible teaches that ALL are equal. Yet those in Hollywood see themselves as today’s royalty. Their word are sacred and they know all, and any that question them are ignorant and evil. The exact same mentality that those within the National Socialist German Workers Party had in the 1930s. Their way was the only way to restore the greatness of their nation once again. It can only be done their way and ANY that oppose it MUST be silenced and destroyed. This resulted in the death of over 13,000,000 million people taken to places like Auschwitz, Dachau and Buchenwald. Six Million of these were Jews, the majority of the rest were those Christians that tried to end the Socialist agenda and answered for it with the lives.
Once again the Jewish nation and Christianity are under attack by those within the Democratic a.k.a. Socialist party. It was obvious to all that the previous and Democratic Party administration not only hated the nation of Israel, but Christianity as well. They strived with all their power to indoctrinate the youth of this nation in Islam and destroyed as must as they could of Christianity and weaken the nation of Israel. All being cheered on and supported by Hollywood.
Learn the Bible. Learn the truth, and learn history. For those that do not know history are doom to repeat it. I look at the behavior of those on the left and I see those that do not know true history. I see 1930s Germany being reenacted upon the streets and colleges within the United States of America. All I know is that people must awaken. That all must become active in how this nation is run and show how a republic truly works. For if they do not they will end up like Venezuela is as of a view days ago. A Socialist nation turned into a dictatorship filled with death, hunger and strive. All because they desired and sought after the “Socialist dream,” which ALWAYS ends in nightmares.

The thing those in Hollywood don’t know.

You hear nearly daily of this celebrity or that celebrity saying that they know what is best for the rest of humanity. Why? Because they are rich.
This is what the Bible says about those that have been given wealth in the world:
1 John 3:17 – If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
Now the first thing that will come from the minds of the read of this post is this:
“But they are showing compassion.”
Now let’s expand this topic to include the full teaching in this letter.
1 John 3:11 – This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous. 13 So don’t be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. 14 If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead. 15 Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them. 16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? 18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. 19 Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. 20 Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence. 22 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him. 23 And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 24 Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
So in the full teaching we see that it is both faith and works that shows we are children of God. So for a celebrity to tell us we must welcome the sick and the poor. However they live in wealth, luxury and leisure. They horde most their wealth and if they do share it they share very little.
Those that are given wealth are not to store up their wealth, especially if they profess to be “Christian.” We should live on enough to be debt free and not to live in excess and luxury. Once we reach this point, yet we are still given the wealth of this world that which exceeds our base needs should be given first to our fellow Christians in need so that they can then live debt free and in comfort. If we still have worldly wealth left that should be given beyond the body of Christ to help those truly in need. For that is what the Bible teaches us to do.
So those that are called celebrities are not something to revere, but to shun and ignore for they are of the world and we are not to befriend the world. For those that do befriend the world are the enemies of God.

The Hollywood black list

Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , Leave a comment

Now this is not about the black list that came about due to McCarthy in the 1950s, this is about now.
If you develop or have conservative and/or even Christian values and views, you are black listed from Hollywood. This is seen time and again and none can question this. Hollywood is at war with conservatives and especially Christianity and the values and ideals that come with this faith. Even some who portray “Christian values” really don’t in many cases.
Due to the Scientology debacle we now know that those in Hollywood do in some fashion desire to find something greater than themselves. Yet most of their ideas revolves upon the “self.” They are so locked into the satisfaction of the self that if any challenge this they are attacked and they do so visually.
It is time Christians stand their ground. Those in Christianity have been surrendering ground for far too long. It is time we unite against those that lust for power and control. To the point that just because they entertain us that they can dictate to us.
It is time to turn off the TVs and not go to movies or the theater. If we must watch TV, watch re-runs or classic movies, especially of the people acting within them have passed on from this temporal plain of existence. It is time hurt those in Hollywood in the one place that will scare them. Their pocket books.
Black list Hollywood!
Boycott Hollywood!
Boycott mainstream news media!

The Suicide of Hollywood

Christian, General, government, Life, Thoughts, , , , Leave a comment

Yesterday I watched “Son of God” with my youngest son. I found several things to type about. Possibly a review, some of the things that the writers decided to place into the movie, amongst other things. What stuck out the most for me though was the lack of Hollywood. The last time Hollywood was truly present for a Biblical film was The Bible: The beginning in 1966 and even then it was not fully Hollywood. Hollywood had turned its back on God. It had embraced sensationalism, sex, scandal and drugs.
In previous decades, they gave us movies like “The Ten Commandments”, “Ben Hur”, “King of Kings”, “The Greatest Story Ever Told”. In previous decades, Hollywood prospered and made producer, actor and companies rich. As a result, the money corrupted the industry and the people within it.
It return God is now showing Hollywood what is the result when humans place themselves before God. Yet they are blind to see it. They have campaigned to improve the world for humans as a result laws have been made. Laws they must follow which are making it impossible for them to make profitable motion pictures. As a result, Hollywood is dying a slow self-imposed death through laws they helped to create by placing themselves ahead of God.
