“Maybe We’re Not a Christian Nation” cji 8/29/09
When we see the reverence given to two who’ve recently passed – garnering the praise of the minions who followed them (and those who’ve agenda’s to sell or force upon others) – it teaches us two things about the world or nation we live in currently: 1. That the worldly overrides what’s good, moral, of value or virtue and family importance; and 2. People who flaunt all of #1 can and will become ‘heroes’ to nations who decide to abdicate their own freedoms to that of public opinion no matter how twisted, slanted, evil or otherwise unrighteous!
Many like them have left none of the Ten Commandments (not suggestions) unbroken – by their own admission and those of friends many in our society take great pride in bragging of lewd conduct and transgressions of the laws without punishments. The most recent to die did it with arrogance and impunity and took many along with him either actively or passively when supporting him or his actions. It appeared that none of those who live in the Great State of MA – would confront him – they just kept reelecting him; none in the houses of Congress or the Senate (both bastions of corruptness) would ever dare to censor him. Instead they embraced him as a wayward child – such as Jack the Ripper and/or Son of Sam.
The media harbored him as their poster child of all that’s good in America (providing all of the protection of the press) – while at the same time demeaning the Veteran’s – Married Couples – Families and those who actually did set a good example of righteousness. He was to them the Clint Eastwood of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly – while all three were equally bad – because of labeling – they all came across as likable fellows.
There should be ‘total silence’ from all of the US (and not just the Pope) – he was and is a disgrace to America – yet this is what those of various faiths around the world see as the elite or the best of America! Then we wonder why all the world agrees with BO that this is not a Christian Nation – for if he’s the poster child and or the other others who are like him – we certainly cannot be considered a Christian Nation.
A Christian Nation – represents the goodness of virtue; the plainness of truth; the understanding and usage in their daily lives of the two Great Commandments; and most of all – a firm belief in God the Father and his only begotten Son – Jesus Christ!
One can go nowhere in America and not hear the name of the Lord taken in vain! The profanity of the streets, the TV, the Movies and one would guess now commonplace in literature as required reading in our schools is acceptable. Prayers are no longer in the schools – instead we find classes on birth control and contraceptives for those who need them in direct violation of the Ten Commandments – (Note: Adultery by its meaning was any sexual behavior outside of the marriage of a Man and a Woman – legally performed by one having authority to perform the marriage.)
It would be my guess most have never read the Old Testament – and many have never read the New Testament ‘in toto’ – and further that if having read either have failed to ponder and seek by prayer to understand what’s taught in both so there are no mysteries (see Alma 12:10-11) found therein (actually they’re one in the same – only divided by man so that some churches claim one – others claim the other – and some only claim part – and for the most have kept only about 10% of the writings of the Prophets discarding the majority of the 3000+ books of the scriptures). Then to further add to the insult of Christianity or Religious Beliefs most have mixed in the Greek Philosophy and the Philosophy of Man – to give them a reading different from what they used to say.
Most schools of religion only teach about 5% of what’s left and found in the Bible, and this they make confusing and twisted. This by the way is not a condemnation of any church or belief – but simply fact of what’s being taught today in what’s considered to be by most a Christian Nations which literally are supposed to believe that Jesus is the Christ. One would guess that if brain surgeons only used 5% of the material available for being a brain surgeon – we’d have a difficult time exhibiting much confidence in their performing surgery on either us or a loved one. Yet where eternal salvation and the right to claim to be a Christian Nation is concerned – we’re willing to accept only 5% of what’s available and feel we know it all.
Thus with the continued deification of such as this ‘dirtball’ and others – and the continued vilifications of those who’ve both worth and value in righteousness – to claim anything other than what BO has told the world is to have us as liars. We must remember all that the rest of the world sees of the US is what’s in the movies, on TV – on the Internet or in their media! Killings, Sexual violence and perversions and extremes in behaviors or lifestyles. It’s doubtful they (the rest of the world) know anything at all about the average American! Remember most of some parts of the world are totally illiterate or living in dictatorships with extreme censorship. Most will never travel outside of their immediate environment (even within the US is this still true in many cases). As those in this nation have prejudices real or imagined – the rest of the world does also. I.E. if they see it, hear it then it must be true and real. A quick example – is the exploitation of religion and beliefs – playing on the stereo types and not the truth – yet never can one hear the word polygamy without the media making sure they think of only one church – knowing what they’re doing is both untruthful and deliberately wrong!
So my friends – we’ve a very difficult situation in America – our nation – none believe the truth – but all are willing to accept the rhetoric of popularity – then our Island is getting smaller and smaller - chuck
“Belief of a Nation”
cji
8/29/09
Harboring a sure knowledge
understanding without bounds
literally believing the truth
discarding rhetorical philosophy
then one can discern a belief
finding the sure footing of truth
unblemished and unadulterated
clean, pure and full of virtue
thus going forth on one’s way
proclaiming this is who we are
and the belief of our nation!
