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

Discussion

The saddest and most regretful thing that exists. Is the total and complete misunderstanding, of what is involved and required, with the True relationship with our only hope of True and complete salvation, who is Jesus Christ the Son of God. This is shown and is witnessed by those that not only follow and accept Atheism, but in most of those that go to the buildings called “churches.”

It is a circle of rejection that is ongoing and never ending. One feeds off the other. Each attacking and ridiculing the other, and all the time both never truly see or accept the real truth. That they have been lied too. Each offers a way to help their fellow humans and each reject what is truly required to truly help them. We see this cycle repeated in most aspects of human endeavors. In politics, in war, in social programs, even in everyday life down to how we dress or even awaken to a new day in this temporal existence.

It is like this:

I wish to key in on the main element that I just mention. It is seen “in most aspects of human endeavors.”

Human endeavors. This is not what is taught within the Bible by the way. The Old Testament shows us human endeavors as examples of how not to live or behave. The New Testament says plain and simple we are to follow a clear set of rules and laws that are something those that strive to reflect Jesus Christ in their lives they have no problem pursuing. Many in the buildings called “churches” don’t have this deep desire though, which shows they are not living for Christ, but for themselves.

It is this selfishness that those that end up rejecting God upright see and use as their excuse to abandon salvation. For they see the hypocrisy that runs rampant within religion, which is why they embrace Atheism. This allows them to live their lives as they want. It is from these though that come those that commit the most heinous crimes upon humanity. This was witnessed by the French Revolution, and political beliefs like Socialism, which ultimately leads to Communism. It is from these political beliefs which has humans dominating and controlling other humans which led to the destruction first to France then Germany as well as the Soviet Union and also China to some degree.

Now here someone will shout out that Hitler was a Fascist not a Communist. Yet they forget what party he led: the National German SOCAIALIST Party aka the Nazi party. Nuff said upon that.

It is all this desire by humanity to not only control their own lives. However, ultimately control other humans. Forcing them, if need be, as has been shown throughout the centuries from not only those humans controlling religion, but also those seeking to destroy religion. It is this human element that corrupts humanities attempts of self-governance. Again, this is not what is truly taught within the Bible.

When you look at those elements that seek self-control and reliance upon only humanity. We see and find those that perceive and find those that say since there is nothing beyond this temporal existence there are no consequences. It is also evident that this mentality can be found in most that call themselves “Christian” as well.

Now why would I make such a statement?

Those that say they are “Christian,” however they continue to seek after worldly riches and possessions. This shows they do not care about the consequences. In their eyes they are destine for heaven, yet how they live shows they aren’t per the Bible they say they follow. In fact, the Bible clearly shows this makes them enemies of God.

1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Jesus Christ Himself said it is required by those that truly follow Him not to seek after worldly possessions:

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Most keep their possessions and seek more. Therefore, their heart stays in this temporal existence and so they think nothing of the consequences of eternal life. Be it in damnation or an eternal existence in the service of God. This shows they don’t think of their future life that will last not for around one hundred years which they now have as compared to the billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions of years that are where our consequences will lead. For all eternity in either of the two places offered. For there are only two options, but only one advocate that will lead to the better of these two destinations.

It is this one way only that causes so much conflict from of both camps. They don’t see that they both are in some sense in objection to this. Those that deny God make it very clear. Those that say there is a God insist all that is required is love and that is all. Just a belief which in turn turns them into hypocrites. This in turn causes those that deny God to in sense be “justified.” Thus, perpetuating the cycle of opposition and disgust. Leading both to damnation.

Those that truly study the Word of God. Not in a way to disagree or destroy it. Not in a way to selectively picking out the things that allows them to live this earthly life in sin. But, in a true in-depth study that causes them to see the reality of God, His Son and that we are to actually live our lives in a moderate way.  A way that allows us to use most of our earthly wealth to help those in need and to spread the True Word of God. For this is what the Bible teaches and commands we do.

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

This is for those that live in both camps. Those that wish to argue and challenge. For those that wish to deny God. I challenge you to pick up the Bible. Not with the intent of destroying what others have come to believe. But to actually look at what is found within it. Many of those teachings that you embraced within Socialism are found within the Bible, where do you think Marx and Lenin got their ideas?

Marx was Jewish who later converted to Christianity via the Evangelical Church of Prussia. So, these ideals were instilled into him. He found the hypocrisy within both religions and then rejected them. Lenin was raised in the Lutheran Church which embarrassed a faith alone belief, but also a very structured religion. This in turn allowed him to look down upon this believe system. Again, due to hypocrisy. What most don’t wish to accept it is humans that cause the hypocrisy not the Word of God.

Christ calls out those that are hypocrites and clearly states they are not welcome in the kingdom of God. For this is how Christ saw those that taught Scriptures and lived in worldly wealth.

 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 money.” 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.

For centuries the greatest amount of those that entered into the buildings called “churches” have most likely been seen as an abomination in the sight of God. They don’t wish to hear this. However, it is due to this very fact that caused the creation of those that flee from God and call themselves Atheist. Like I said, a never-ending circle of lies. One lie feeds off the other lie causing most to deny God and His Son.

Christ knew the cause and called out those in His time upon this earth for their sin:

Matthew 23:13 NKJV – “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.”

This is how most that stand upon the dais act and behave. For as long as they seek after the treasures of this temporal reality they never seek to be in the presence of God. The more riches they show and display the further they are from God. For to Him they are an abomination, on par with the antichrist that is yet to be revealed.

Realize this, those of you that deny God and His Son. Just because you turn from the lies found in the buildings called “churches” does not excuse you. You are still required to accept the only way into True eternal life. It is not something that our future offspring will attain. It is something promised to all humanity. The only thing there are two destinations. One the eternal life, the other, the second death of eternal damnation. Both will last for billions of years. Because we will all be a higher lifeform. No longer in corruption but in incorruption and immortal. Just those that deny God will suffer instead of live in joy. Yet those that deny God will then enter into a new level of suffering, which any that truly serve Christ wish none to suffer. For it is worse than any will expect.

But they have been warned by those that wish them no harm. Yet both groups wish those telling the Truth harm. For the Truth exposes the lies they have lived in both groups. The thing is those that show the most hate is not those that outright deny God, but those that say they follow Him when they truly don’t. This is why they have so much hatred for those that show the Truth. It is also due to this behavior that most that deny God come to be. All due to those that say they follow Christ yet that is the furthest thing from the Truth.

It is truly sad.

Time is running out. The first rapture is soon to occur. For you that deny God it will be called a mass alien abduction. But for you that pretend to know God. You will see it for the truth you have denied for so long as you continue to seek after worldly possessions and profess to being “Christian.”

It will be you and those before you that caused so many to turn away from God. It will be you and those before you that causes so many to live in a lie of salvation that will not lead them to service with God, but the second death. For they may have had their name written in the Book of Life, but Christ Himself removed it. Not only to their sorrow but His as well.

God Bless

It is hard listening to the blind

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

One of the saddest thinks for someone that is true to the Bible, Jesus Christ and His Father: God, is to hear the blind spouting out their words and hearing the echo of someone else coming from their mouth.
You know the source of the lie, you see the lie, yet the blind parrot the words nearly exactly. They so wish to have others do their thinking for them that they dare not listen to someone that holds the truth before them.
It would be like saying I have found Bigfoot and here he is as you point to the furring smelly man-ape beside you and they would insist it is someone in make-up. This is how it is for many that are true to God.
It is worse though when they see many that they call their friends and loved ones that still hold on to ideals and believes that have been proven to be falsehoods and lies, yet they are so entrenched in their comfortable world of lies they would rather reject you then to accept what is true. In many cases it must take something drastic to happen in their lives to even give you a second chance to try and explain what is true and real within the Bible.
They would rather call you judgmental then to understand that you are merely following the true teachings within the Bible that say we are to reprove, rebuke and then to exhort them to hear and understand.
So many sit upon the shoulder of those other humans they worship, Parroting over and over again the lies they are told. Eating upon the scraps that those they worship my toss by chance their way.
Our forefathers of this vary nation saw just how humanity was during their lifetimes. They saw those that would think for themselves and challenged the status quo and in so doing created a new nation. They also saw how easily many others were corrupted by greed and power and so within our very own governmental design placed within the ability to keep other powers in check. Their fear was the career politician. Their fear was a president that would think himself a king. Their fear was a supreme court that would try to govern through laws instead of allowing and supporting the laws created by the legislature.
Yet that is the world we live within today. All three branches corrupt and conspiring with each other. Each gaining more power as the common human just tries to stay alive. Most of which blindly echo the words of those in power that strive to remove the true authority over mankind as they seek to supplant God Himself. Not realizing there are condemning themselves as they do so as the lemmings blindly follow them into damnation.
