What concerns me about COVID?

PragerU asked: “What concerns you about COVID-19?”

I believe COVID is the back-up plan discussed in 2016 by the FBI’s former Strzok, Page, Comey, the DNC, the CNN – Communist News Network…I believe COVID was a well organized strategy-ruse to unseat President Trump via a coup.

I believe the “COVID vaccine” is experimental gene therapy with the potential to alter the DNA and immune system…and not truly a vaccine but given that “label” to provide liability protections for “big pharma” who is making billions upon billions of dollars off of naive and sheepish Americans who trust America’s communist government that cares absolutely NOTHING for their health and welfare but for power, influence, MONEY, status, CONTROL, only.

I personally believe COVID-19 is the flu—perhaps a type of pneumonia with a 99.7% survivability rate for anyone under 70-YOA without serious comorbidity; not much different than the statistics for the seasonal flu complicated by pneumonia.

I believe the “death totals” from COVID are fictitious…skewed…as hospitals are paid to treat COVID and doctors, nurses, are as easily bought and paid for as politicians as the medical community today worships the dollar while the patient is simply a means to an end.

I believe COVID is a political-elitist-globalist-communist/Marxist agenda with the goal of decimating the middle class financially and destroying middle class business, personal property rights and destroying America’s overall economy in accordance with a globalist – one-world ideology with American society having been divided into the elitist-narcissist formerly labeled the bourgeoisie and a subservient – dependant class as the proletarians. The elites will rule and reign and their every narcissistic-hedonistic-sinful, desire, will be fulfilled by the labor, suffering, striving, misery, of the proletariat.

I believe that the “useful idiots” brainwashed by the CULT OF COVID; the propaganda fed them in our Universities by Darwin-Marx-Lenin-Dewey…these will methodically transform America into an impotent 3rd-World Nation that has sold its soul to China and abandoned Israel to the will of Israel’s enemies while the American citizen will become an atheistic-nihilistic-Darwinistic-Marxist conglomeration of misery and slothfulness and defilement.

How could the Jews kill Jesus if He’s God?

Question of FB: “If Jesus is God, how could the Jews kill God?”

Christian response,

Jesus’ death was foreordained through the Gospel “before the beginning of Time” (2 Timothy 1:9-10). The Gospel is God’s Plan of dealing with Satan, Evil, and the “Son of God entered Time to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b). Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin (Hebrews 9:22; Hebrews 10; Leviticus 17:11) and Jesus is the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the World (Revelation 13:8; 1 Peter 1:19) for the purpose of destroying sin’s condemnation in our lives and defeating Satan’s stronghold over death-Hell-the grave.

Jesus is God having manifest in flesh within the Realm of Time (John 1:14; Colossians 2; Hebrews 1; Philippians 2) for the purpose of defeating Satan (Genesis 3:15) and Jesus, in His perfection by keeping the Law without sin (Matthew 5:17), shed His innocent blood on the Cross for our atonement thereby providing us righteousness (a right standing) with the Father by faith (2 Corinthians 5:21). No man could accomplish this, only God in flesh (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Galatians 4:4).

The Jews via the Roman authorities did not murder God, they murdered the body of flesh God used to define and display Himself to humanity and the body God used to provide the blood sacrifice for the atonement of our sin-debt before the Father (Hebrews 10). God does not die, He is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 90:2).

Is the Trinity a Christian Creation?

Is the Trinity a Christian creation?

Christian response,

The Trinity of God is not a creation of Christianity…its foundation is in the Hebrew Scriptures, Jesus and the New Covenant epistles simply elaborate on this reality with new revelation; revelation that is undeniable for the one seeking Truth. The Holy Spirit introduces the Trinity first in Genesis 1:1 with the plural noun, Elohim, with a singular verb. The Holy Spirit introduces Himself in Genesis 1:2 actively working in the Creation narrative. The Trinity identified as “Us” and “Our” is seen working in collaboration as they, Father-Son-Spirit, create the complex human genome in Genesis 1:26-28. The Son, Jesus Christ, born of the seed of the (virgin) woman to circumvent the man’s (Adam’s) sin nature (Romans 5:12) is first introduced in Genesis 3:15 who will enter the Realm of Time in flesh and do battle with Satan and “destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) at Golgotha, some 4000-years later.

The battle strategy used by Jesus to defeat Satan is first pictured as the Gospel in Genesis 3:21 with the shedding of innocent blood to produce a “robe of imputed righteousness” (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 10) to cover the sin of Adam and Eve while Elohim rejects the works of Adam to cover his own sin as seen in the fig leaves used to cover Adam’s sin-nakedness-shame. So then, in the first-three Chapters of the Genesis, The Beginning, the Trinity of God is seen as essential to Elohim’s Plan in Time and Eternity and to deny this is to call the Holy Spirit a liar…a very dangerous thing to do concerning your eternal destiny.

The Trinity of God is three-distinct personalities/persons working in the Godhead within the Realm of Time to accomplish Divine will setting all things in order, destroying evil and its progenitor and bring peace to the Kingdom of God with obedience to God’s Moral Law as the arbiter of free will.

Legalism – obfuscation – “faith-only” doctrine?

Legalism – obfuscation – “faith-only” doctrine?

It is wearisome at times to rebut the legalist and their endless drivel concerning Law-the Sabbath-Obedience while suggesting that Christianity is lawlessness AKA a “faith-only” doctrine.

There is no faith only doctrine, that’s obfuscation, a lack of knowledge and deceit by legalists who are absent faith. Faith enjoins one to God the Father by trusting in Jesus as Lord; in fact, without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6);

Obedience to God’s will, the Commandments of Jesus written upon our heart, the moral law, is the natural outpouring or the natural resultant of faith having come to fruition through covenant relationship with God the Father and receiving the Holy Spirit subsequent to believing in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Obedience through Sanctification in the Spirit FOLLOWING faith is what substantiates and validates one’s faith as TRUE and authentic saving faith; Jesus said, you will know them by their fruit-works-behavior (Matthew 7:15-20).

Christianity is NOT lawlessness; in fact, Christianity is observance to a law (Law of the Spirit written on our heart) that is more stringent than the Covenant of Law as Jesus infused mens rea (the thought life) as culpability (Matthew 5:27-28).

Christianity is grace (unmerited favor unattainable through works of the Law) through faith (trusting-believing in Jesus as Lord) and “obedience through sanctification” (that follows establishment of covenant relationship by faith) as we don’t serve God as slaves to a Law of condemnation but serve God in obedience because we love Him and honor Him through the Spirit. Law and obedience can never save – Law and obedience cannot supplant faith but obedience naturally follows true faith and substantiates that faith. 

Legalism is deception and legalism is certainly the offspring of Satan himself and Satan certainly has his way within these forums through his representatives.

Tongues? Extant Today?

Christian response,

Speaking in Tongues in Acts-Corinthians was a Spiritual Gift given to the early Church as a sign to unbelieving Jews of God’s work in establishing the New Covenant. These tongues which were actually understandable, intelligible, languages-dialects also assisted in spreading the Gospel to the known world…people who had never studied languages received the Gift of the Spirit to speak and/or understand languages they previously did not speak or understand.

With the publication of the first Canon of Scripture (Muratorian Canon – Circa 180AD) and circulation of the Gospels and epistles among the Churches, tongues were no longer needed and they ceased … but … at the pagan Temple at Delphi near Corinth, there was a pagan tradition where a pagan priestess would set atop a throne in the temple, below the throne was a burning substance that when inhaled became an intoxicant and the priestess would exhort awaiting parishioners with prophecy and often times her language was slurred and essentially gibberish due to her intoxication so that the waiting patrons left the temple more confused than when they entered seeking direction and guidance.

This pagan practice of a “priestess” chanting in gibberish prophecy carried-over into the Church at Corinth and provided much trouble for Paul and much confusion for the parishioners…this is most likely why Paul demanded that the women in the Corinthian Church remain silent (1 Corinthians 14:34).

Fast-forward to today…we now see “Churches” of Charismata like Pentecostalism and Church of God and non-Denominational…”full Gospel” Churches proclaiming the “Gift” of tongues which is actually nothing more than pagan gibberish and nonsense taught by those who simply cannot trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, alone, but rely on signs and wonders and gifts to prove salvation; in fact, some Pentecostal Churches insist that unless a man or woman or child speaks in a tongue, they cannot be saved as tongues is THE sign of the Holy Spirit’s presence in one’s life. I left a teaching ministry over this issue as I was ordered to teach others to speak in a tongue…I rejected the paganism. This practice of tongues is darkness in origin, this is works, this is heresy…this is apostasy and places Pentecostal parishioners under unnecessary burdens, doubts, fears, and coerces them to speak in tongues in order to prove their faithfulness to God…but these parishioners know they’re speaking gibberish and nonsense but legalism mandates that they comply. This is NOT of God…this is of the Devil.

If speaking in tongues is extant today, why must we methodically and with much effort train our missionaries in other languages before sending them abroad to proselytize the World with the Gospel? Tongues, the ecstatic utterance of gibberish in today’s Churches of Charismata, is man’s attempt to prove his spiritual superiority by signs and wonders absent the simplicity of faith, alone.

If Jesus died for sin, why did He not remain dead? Why didn’t God kill Satan instead of Jesus?

Two interesting theological questions posted on FB:

1) If Jesus came to die for man’s sins, why didn’t he stay dead after death?

2) Why didn’t God kill satan, the cause of man’s problems, instead of killing his innocent son?

Christian response,

1) Jesus only died in body, not in Spirit and Jesus’ death atoned for mankind’s sin but His resurrection was as the “first fruits” of those who would die and be resurrected in like manner (1 Corinthians 15:20; Philippians 3:21). Jesus set the standard, paved the path for our resurrection, provided the example for us concerning the resurrection that is to come (John 5:29).

2) Satan is an angel, angels do not die (Luke 20:36) and God did not destroy Satan for his sin and rebellion because to do so would have negatively affected God’s relationship with the remaining two-thirds angels that did NOT follow Satan in the rebellion. Had God simply destroyed Satan, the remaining two-thirds would no longer love God via free will but out of fear and view God as arbitrary and wicked – a God who compels love as opposed to displaying love and receiving same; also, true love and relationship cannot exist in fear; in fact, God the Father commissioned the Son, Jesus Christ, to create the Heavens and the Earth as a repository for Satan apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Rev 21:27) and God the Father is dealing with Satan here, partially constrained by Time and physics, as the Son of God, Jesus Christ, entered Time specifically to “destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b).

God will maintain volitional love with the faithful angelic creation as God has defeated the evil and objectives of Satan through God’s own selfless love via the Gospel as demonstrated at the Cross and first pictured in Genesis 3:21. Satan’s objectives were defeated by Jesus at Golgotha and Satan, the fallen angels, the False Prophet, the Beast, will receive eternal torment in Hell subsequent to the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ and the faithful angelic creation, having witnessed the horrors of Satan’s deception upon the Earth for 6000+ years, will fully concur with God that their former boss, an anointed cherub angel in direct service of God at the time of the rebellion, does deserve punishment in Hell, forever (Revelation 20:10).

Florida – LOUD Motor Vehicle Abuse is RAMPANT

The Saint Augustine, PD; Mayor Upchurch; State Police Commissioner Swearingen; Governor DeSantis, should all be ashamed and embarrassed for allowing the narcissistic thugs of the illegally LOUD Motorcycle – Auto – Truck Cult[ure] to audibly abuse and bully the citizens of Florida. I am currently sitting in an RV parked next to SH-1 in St. Augustine, Fl, a Walmart parking lot, and of the many thousands of miles I’ve travelled across the United States…of the many municipalities, counties, States, I have visited, from Texas to Washington, to Florida and all of those in between…Florida is the ABSOLUTE worst State for LOUD motor vehicle abuse and thuggery.

Florida’s law enforcement community is absolutely as useless as the titties on a boar hog…shame on you Governor DeSantis for failing to provide the most basic of governmental responsibilities i.e. protection; shame on you Police Commissioner Swearingen for refusing to intercede on behalf of the innocent Floridian whose daily quality of life is routinely destroyed by the vehicular noise thugs…Florida’s law enforcement community is obviously and sadly impotent. I am personally ashamed of you.

Considering all of the Planets in the Universe, why did God allow Satan to influence Earth with evil?

Question asked on FB: Of all the planets out there in the Universe, why did God allow Satan to come here and influence humanity to compromise with evil?

Christian response,

The Earth was created specifically for and because of Satan in response to Satan’s rebellion in the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27). In preparation for removing Satan from the Kingdom, God the Father commissioned the Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:35; Colossians 1; John 1; Hebrews 1) to take elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3). Jesus created the Heavens and the Earth for cause with rapidity. This creation narrative is articulated in Genesis 1 with “yom” representing a literal 24-hour day.

Long story short, Satan was extricated from the Kingdom (Luke 10:18) and placed here upon this Earth to be dealt with by the Son, Jesus Christ, at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b), a battle which was first prophesied in Genesis 3:15 and the battle strategy used by Jesus pictured first in Genesis 3:21… fulfilled 4000 years later at the Crucifixion. All of those other planets out there testify of our God’s reality, authority, dominion, so that those who reject God will be “without excuse” at Judgment (Romans 1:18-32).

If not for Satan’s rebellion, there would be no Heaven and Earth and mankind. God was perfectly content with His relationship with the beautiful Angels; that is, until His chief cherub angel coveted God’s dominion and authority and sin was found in him (Ezekiel 28:11-19). We are in the midst of an unfathomable cosmic, spiritual, war that engulfs us yet so few are able to see and fewer still ally with God, Jesus Christ our Warrior, who has already won the victory for us (Exodus 15:3; Revelation 17:14).

Loud Motor Vehicles today is yesterday’s “Broken Windows Theory”

Today’s LOUD MOTOR VEHICLE CULT[URE] is yesterday’s “Broken Windows Theory” indicating a society that is consumed by narcissism, arrogance, selfishness, disrespect, hedonism, negligence, a lack of discipline, thuggery. I have traveled the United States over the last four-months from Texas to Washington to Florida (thus far) and the Loud Biker – the Loud Auto and Truck bullies inundate every State, every County, every Municipality along the way and NOTHING is done to stop the arrogant bullies from abusing societies most innocent and destroying our daily quality of life. I cannot publish what should should be done to STOP the bullies of the LOUD Vehicle Cult[ure] in our communities but these narcissists are just one sign, one indicator, that American society has lost its way and American Law Enforcement is as useless and impotent as the titties on a boar hog.

Jewish-Israelite Nihilism-hopelessness – why?

I do pity the Jew-the Israelite living today without hope of eternal life as they’re blinded from the Gospel and their heart is hardened from God’s Truth in Yeshua (2 Corinthians 3:15; Romans 11:25). Why such nihilism and hopelessness among Jacob’s children concerning life-death-eternity?

Recently, a Jewish contributor, noting the Tanakh, mocked the Holy Spirit’s testimony concerning the innocence of a child before God when that child dies in this life constrained by Time. This Jew considers death of the body to be the end of all existence and the death of a child as “just the way it is.” Why would the Jew, the Israelite, internalize such a nihilistic perspective about life, God, eternity?

The Tanakh is not focused upon one’s eternal destiny as the Tanakh only offered Sheol-Paradise as the respice for the soul as the “faithful” dead in God waited there for Messiah’s atonement before entering the Kingdom (Luke 16). The Kingdom of God was not accessible to the Old Testament saints (Adamic-Noahic-Law Covenant) as acceptable atonement for sin had not yet manifest even though righteousness (a right standing) with God was granted through faith (Hebrews 10; Hebrews 11). It was not until the Advent of Messiah, His blood atonement, that mankind could actually see the Father’s eternal plan, eschatological revelation through the Gospel and the defeat of the Evil One at Golgotha (1 Peter 1:20; 1 John 3:8b)…Israel, listen to your Messiah’s teaching, Yeshua is Messiah, we ARE living in the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 8:7-12), and get your head out of a Covenant that only defined sin through Law, a Law that points you to your Messiah while that same Law condemned you void atonement (Romans 3:20; Galatians 3:10; Romans 8:3-4).

Children of Jacob…There is life subsequent to the death of this body in Time (John 11:25; 2 Corinthians 5:8). Don’t forfeit eternity simply because you’re too stubborn to read and study the entire Text provided you by the Holy Spirit. Our Creator’s words do not end at Malachi…that’s simply a 400-year interlude/intermission. God’s actual Plan for mankind begins with Matthew…don’t die without knowledge (Hosea 4:6); don’t walk away during the intermission. God did not abandon the faithful in Sheol; God will not abandon you if Yeshua is your Messiah by faith (John 3:16). Do not surrender your soul to the Devil (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27). The veil is lifted by faith (2 Corinthians 3:16).
