“The Igniters of Toluene”  cji 10/15/12

This short essay will address the crash dive in which our nation (the USA) is currently taking place.  We each need to step up and understand the seriousness of our situation – individually and collectively.  The word which I’ll use is ‘toluene’ a chemical which can cause great destruction – and the need of an igniter to take if from one state to another.  Hopefully, clarity will persist and all will understand the intimate danger our nation is currently involved.  My usage of George Soros and current president is deliberate and understandable – in that they are the tools of someone else – far more dangerous than either of them per se’.  Mr. Soros has been a tool of others for decades while thinking he is the sole power in what is happening.  The current president and past presidents have all been tools to the designs of the greater enemy.  It is my personal belief the enemy of the US is more than Jihad or Terrorists who are funded by this enemy.  It is my personal belief the degradation of our cities and citizens is the direct result of planned decadence and brainwashing of others rather than the vain understanding of those in this nation.  To be a tool to an enemy who has time and resources it difficult for the average American to believe.  Yet we must look outside the lines – we must study history – we must understand how one can acquire complete power over all.  We must understand what is happening and how internally the USA is aiding and abetting this enemy daily.

 

Please allow me writers allowance forgoing footnotes (which can be provided) and accept that all below is found on the Internet, MSM or other well-known sources. There will be references to our current president – understand this could by any president since election of 1800!  One can always draw their own conclusions – but these conclusions may not always be accurate.  There is no one that I’ve met or known at some point was not beguiled or taken advantage of in their lifetime – many say this is the main reason for date-rape – others for involvement in drugs.  To be gullible once is a mistake – to repeat it is a conscious decision based on self-worth and self-respect.  One who has been taken advantage of usually is found to ferment anger and self – disrespect.

 

To begin we’ll look at the current and past – then returning always to the today.  Taking advantage of a great usage for the word toluene, one might consider this the target of the igniter of riots and mob rule. However, someone has to produce the product and provide it. Who is making the people act irrationally or who are those who could be called an igniter?  One must look behind every rock (thrown or steady) to find someone who wants revolution (power) and then absolute power. It would seem the ones who meet this description are the Imams, Muslims (check the last terrorists acts for 40+ years), inter-city entitled (usually organized and used by others - Watts was an organized riots by the Communist Party in the US), China and others of the same vein.

 

Who is the current igniter using this toluene in the USA? It would seem anyone who declares laws without Congress - and ignores the Constitution - which leaves two persons: George Soros and the incumbent President if we ignore the enemy which is using each as their tools. Understand when the usage of current president this could be anyone from 1950 to present and many before.  However when speaking of George Soros he stands by himself.  

 

When one keeps an enemies list - fellow Americans and others - they must have dirt on everyone they can intimidate (this is neither new nor surprising many in the Oval Office have done this). This nation is on the verge of serious riots and this should scare everyone who can read or write, think or reason or other-wise be more than a lemming. For when one seeks absolute power – and the Main Stream Media (MSM) does nothing – but support and show adulation towards the government and bows to George Soros in a nation which believes in freedom and the rule of law is in dire danger.  Most Americans prefer peaceful solutions, i.e. elections, courts of resolution, good laws, and people being in conformance with good laws.  Yet when their government ignores these same laws – from the White House – through the Congress – and intimidates the Supreme Court and lower Courts – we’ve a problem.  

 

Dick Gregory was a person of great intelligence and wisdom.  During the riots of 1964 – he told everyone watching the riots to have someone stand behind the TV sets – turn the volume down and read the Declaration of Independence.  In addition, after he met with Dr. Martin Luther King – he became even more convinced on the way to change what was bad/terrible was through building and not destruction.  To have education – learning – honesty – understanding – and the knowledge of how to make things better without destroying the infra-structure of what was there.  Everyone knows you’ve to cut out the bad, evil, rotten, diseased, infected/infection – before one can start to improve.  However, one cannot destroy their own homes and businesses trying to get the attention of the horrible plight one might be in or imprisoned. 

 

The rule of laws – good laws – equally enforced – and when in the Courts of Law – letting the jurors know if it is bad law they can so rule.  Most in this nation simple serve on a jury without the knowledge that they can rule on bad laws and only try to decide if someone is innocent or guilty.  There will never be equality as long as there is entitlement from the Federal Government.  This is a local issue – yet the local governments have no power of their own.  Federal Mandates override anything they can do.  Thus with hands tied – cities like Detroit, New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Miami, Denver, Houston, Seattle, Portland (both), Dallas, New Orleans and so many more have become the seed beds of crimes and drugs.  Murders, rapes, robbery, knock-out gangs, lewd and offensive language, and many other forms of activity which is anti-law. 

 

When one receives not a good – decent education – has only a discordant family life – believe in nothing – and have absolutely no self-respect in the sense of goodness – then we must understand everything is seriously wrong.  When one is without righteousness – strong positive values – clean morals – virtue – integrity – rectitude – and a selfless love of both self and then others – they’ve nothing to lose by illusional behavior deviant to their well-being and that of their local community.  The igniter of this local apathy is from entitlement – or the Federal Government.  Any government which seeks the destruction of the family – the home – good morals – virtue – and replaces it with the desire for wealth and power – greed and lusts – selfishness – instant gratifications – has set the cornerstone of self-destruction not only for the individual but the nation.  Since the 1800 election – the wrong course has been followed.  Sometimes corrected – but mostly on an extremely slow decline – and until the election of 1960 this decline continued.  After 1960 this decline became more rapid – stayed from time to time – but is now in crash dive mode. 

 

A WWII submarine was in a crash dive – the CO and XO were unconscious in the control room – the COB was also unable to function.  A 3^rd Class PO recognizing the immediate danger – took control and order the Engine Room to Full Reverse!  The submarine was saved by the actions of this young man acting and not reacting to the situation. (This is a true story – if anyone wants more information I’ll have to try to find the records – but I know it is in the damage reports of WWII Submarines.)  Who is there today that is going to do this strong action to correct this crash dive of the USA?  This is certainly not what we find in our Nation’s Capital at this time.  Or is the system so corrupt – so beyond saving – so selfish that no one wants it to be corrected? 

 

Certainly the incumbents want nothing to change and foresee the growth of the USA.  However read anything about George Soros and this will become evident he wants the destruction of the Constitution and world government – and our current president has listened to this same rhetoric since his early youth.  Does he believe it – it doesn’t matter – he’s part of it.  Thus the igniter of the toluene is already throwing matches which are lit at this chemical.  The spreading rumors of discord – racism – stocking the offices of government with avowed haters of the USA – sending billions of dollars to our enemies – making apologies to those who kill our citizens.  The continued encouragement of crime in the cities and streets of our nation by the TV, movies and music is only increasing.  One can applaud evil, death, violence and expect the impressionable to enjoin them in this culture – especially when good, integrity, honesty, virtue and religion are ignored or destroyed.  This doesn’t mean that one person can make it happen – however, one person with tentacles can make things happen and then appear to be worse or better based on how his/her minions feed the public.

 

One can watch a video of the Palestine – the Hamas – and see the training of hatred given to the youth of the nation – no toys – only guns – and over and over repeating the quest of killing Jews and Americans.  All this in the name of a Peaceful Religion which our politically correct MSM recognizes while saying the USA is not a Christian nation. Lest we become more apathetic – we must understand the seriousness of the current state of affairs in the USA.  To not do so with an open mind – unselfish understanding is to be part and parcel of the destruction of the Constitution and this once great nation.  Yet it is far more reaching than just our nation – when the USA falls – the rest of the free world will fall with it – as only the USA stands between Freedom and Chaos.  Understand, China wants Chaos – George Soros wants Chaos – why so they can move in and take control in such a violent way some might invite the Vikings to return instead.

 

Returning to the usage of the word “Toluene” as the tool of the igniter – each must understand as a chemical by itself it will do nothing.  However, when a society does nothing – those who seek power and wealth (but mostly absolute power) assist and abet in becoming the movers of this dormant chemical.  Apathy is the igniter as most will stand by and do nothing to stop the crash dive – while partying and celebrating the idea of no rules, no values, no virtue, no integrity, no honor, no love, no truth, no morals, and worst of all no self-respect or respect in self or others. 

Fear not that we are in great danger – whether you are on the side of right or wrong – the destruction will affect all!  When the explosion(s) occur – none will be saved if found in the kill range of the toluene.  All will be consumed – unless of course you believe (which I do) the Holy Scriptures that the righteous will be spared.  One must realize this is when the Second Coming and the final scenes take place – most likely not today or tomorrow so when man commits crimes against nature not even the righteous are spared.  This is man/woman committing the crimes – and anyone who dares blame Heavenly Father or the Son for the atrocities of men/women doesn’t understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ or the teachings of the Prophets. 

 

There are two ways – right and wrong – the road to Zion or the road to Babylon – good or bad – there are no detours – shortcuts – in-betweens – variations – one cannot be both.  One is either obedient to Commandments of God (and this is whether or not they even believe in a God) or they are not!  There are no exceptions to the laws and statutes of right and wrong.  We individually have to decide who we are to be and what we are going to do – act or react – be selfish or unselfish – love or hate – be involved or be apathetic. 

 

May we each understand the seriousness of what is facing the United States at this time – and that the miss-representations of MSM is making the situation far worse quicker than anyone person could do on their own. Understand that George Soros owns over 2.3 million shares of MSM.  Throughout my life I’ve always asked the question, “Who has the most to gain and the least to lose?”  Soros and our current government are nothing more than pawns for China!  China has nothing to lose and everything to gain – and they are the only one in this world at this time to be in that position. 

 

Personally I hope and pray daily for our nation and the leaders of it.  Regardless of which side of the aisle they reside.  They all need our prayers – friends and enemies!  My hope is that all will understand the seriousness of what is happening in the USA today – and do all in their power to reverse the engines full and stop this crash dive. 

 

Addendum:  How can we individually change or reverse this course?

1.   If you claim be Christian obey all of the Commandments!

2.   If you claim no religious belief – be a good person – love yourself and your neighbors – keep the good laws of the land and fight against the bad laws.

3.   If you are among those who seek instant gratification – wealth, power and doing whatever you want to do – then there is nothing you can or will do to change or reverse this direction because you want Chaos and not freedom.

This is simple and not complicated – it requires good people to be really good – nothing more or less.  Nothing will change those who want Chaos at the price of freedom.

Gathering in the elements

forsaking any remorse

deciding to destroy all

taking freedom to chaos

injecting hatred and lust

but needing an element

a chemical of sure death

then to find the igniter

one foolish enough to die

thinking doing a good

instead ignoring their lie

in chaos now they stood;

 

Playing with matches

threats in form of guile

placing ultraistic ideals

ignoring the better good

ignoring the common law

disobedient and hateful

lacking self-respect or love

giving into carnal needs

wishing only to be more

denying only entitled all

becoming a common whore

harkening to evils call!

“Mental Shortness of Breath”

 

“Mental Shortness of Breath”

 

cji

9/22/12

 

Over the past five decades (1960-2010) the youth of our nation and therefore many adults (as well) have excuses for entitlement, quitting, apathy, or better defined as a mental shortness of breath.  We see an increase in suicide – both mental and physical within a wide range of ages.  Many forfeit their rights in the usage of drugs, alcohol, smoking and other addictive behaviors.  Too many are found seriously short of confidence, faith and reliable courage.  Instead we find whiners, losers, sickness, child parents, and a general dysfunctional home, community, city, state and nation. 

 

Mental shortness of breath is also found to be contagious as misery love company and we find hourly, daily and weekly pity parties – hearing more and more complain, murmur or otherwise engage in negative – un-lifting discussion and idle conversations.  People are tending to demean, lament, and make a lot of senseless noise.  Music has become rhetorical and filthy.  The words become memorized in the minds of those who listen and a distraction to those who wish not to listen.  Gangs and others randomly commit crimes against both nature and the general laws of the land.  Dress standards have become how low can one go and how little can one cover-up.  Trends no longer desire to be appropriate – but the more inappropriate the better they sell.  There becomes an atmosphere of unpleasantness and uncleanliness.  Freedom no longer is the ability to choose right from wrong – but whatever one decides is okay for them to do. 

 

Mental shortness of breath leads directly to suicide – the more spoiled a society has become – the more likely for the commission of either mental or physical suicide.  Instead of facing up to one’s responsibilities and accountabilities – they turn away – they take an easier way out.  We’ve a reported increase in the suicide rate of our brothers and sisters in arms (in defense of our nation) – while those in government ignore and actually plan in assisting to help the enemy (regardless of form).  Men make up the majority of suicides – by over a 4:1 ratio with women.  White men are the most prevalent among men by a 10:1 ratio (the same ratio as white women to non-white women).  Much talk is about the child suicide rate while it is less than 10% of the adult rate of suicide.  And so one could exhaustively look at statistics and really learn not very much from them.  One noted factor does stand out – is that most in society who study these statistics have no explanation as to why.  Why more whites and non-whites – according to media and those who dispense the party line – the most deprived are those who are non-white.  Why not higher rates in the inter-city – they’ve a much tougher life style to live and survive.  And actually this might just be the answer so many are looking for – the tougher the life style to survive the more likely not to commit suicide.

 

Those who suffer from ‘mental shortness of breath’ appear to be those who’ve the least strenuous life style to survive.  A home, food, clothing and being morally spoiled most of their lives.  They’ve never had to develop survival skills.  Parents bail them out of trouble – provide them what they want – and finally set them loose on society.  We find this in those with so much spare time they plan mass murders, violence and other related (mischief) deeds of destruction.  They spend hour playing video games – going to movies of violence, immorality and every vice known to man or woman.  Their parents (children of the 1960’s thru 2010) were part and parcel of the drug scene – and worse.  We had a president who said in this order, “going to college – no draft; going into education – no draft; married – no draft; children – no draft.”  Thus we created a college student – going into education – married young (for the only reason of avoiding the draft) and having children prior to being ready to have them.  These same became the teachers of all children/teenagers going to school – not just their own.  They became the college professors – the setters of the norm for education.  Do we have a problem from any of this?  Yes, but not as apparent – for it was their children who suffered – and then took these same parenting skills to the next level.  Then we had a president who said, “divorced – welfare; children out of wedlock – welfare; more children out of wedlock – more welfare.’  The tougher one’s life growing up the more will to survive – the weaker – the less chance of survival or even desire to live when having to account for one’s own actions.

 

Let’s see if this can come together.  A spoiled person – goes to school – can’t get what he/she wants – then decides to just take it – whether it be by theft or rape.  A spoiled person gets married – expects the other party to change to meet their expectations and they don’t.  A spoiled person feels denied – isn’t getting the attention they think they deserve – what can they do or what will they do.  The mystery isn’t that this is happening at least every 16 minutes of every day of the year – but that most don’t see the spoiled child/man/woman – and therefore haven’t a clue as to why they commit suicide.  What would make the most sense in the military is actually the exception and not the rule.  Those having been deployed in combat are not the ones committing suicide at the higher rate.  Mostly it is those who come to realization that they are spoiled – they cannot cope – and since early childhood they’ve learned to be entitled to getting their way.  If not they throw a temper tantrum – and when this doesn’t work what is left to do?  I’ll teach them – and then they take their own lives.  Additionally, it is noted that most all who attempt suicide fail – on a 11:1 ratio.  Or out of 800,000 attempts only 33,000 actually did the task. 

 

Gruesome as this seems to deal with suicide in this matter – we’ve a nation which is actively committing mental suicide at a far higher rate than physical suicide.  When one feels entitlement from the state then effectively they’ve stopped being a producer or productive to simply a user and drain on the nation.  This does not apply to those who’ve worked fully productive lives and are now retiring – but those who’ve learned that the welfare system for both legal and illegal persons have to do absolutely nothing to be provided medical care, food, money, housing, plasma tv’s, cars, trucks and all this without any accountability but to vote for those who them all they need – and most of what they want.  This is the mental suicide – education becomes unimportant – look at those coming out of the schools (HS, etc.) – most are without talents and many without the ability to read above a 5^th grade literacy.  Most cannot talk coherently – and many really don’t even care to try.  Two ends of the spectrum – tough street wise survivors – eventually sucked into the system not to better themselves by production and the wimpy spoiled results of over-indulgence – sucked into the reality of who they really are.  One gives up to have the state serve them – while the other gives up and destroys themselves in the process. 

 

The cost of Mental Shortness of Breath which is acceptable by the socialism of our current leadership – is gaining the strength to overthrow the greatest document ever written by modern man (which most have never read).  The results of the lack of faith (the DNC just rejected God) – and the lack of confidence (media reports on the administration have to be approved by the WH or Chicago) – the lack of resolve to do the right thing for the right reason at the right time – leads only to one result – despair!  Can mental or physical suicide be far behind for a society so selfish and ignorant? 

 

The feelings I have for our military men and women – is strong – however, it is not for them alone one must comprehend and deal with the issue of suicide but for our nation and our Constitution.  We must resolve to combat this spreading disease of Mental Shortness of Breath.  We’ve to wake up those who’ve fallen by the wayside – reteach the values of self-worth (not selfishness) – of self-change (not changing another to meet our needs) and build the confidence and faith needful to have self-worth (not just a feeling of worthlessness).

Taking in a deep breath of smoke

feelings of emptiness and alone

brainwaves to be fried and eaten

coughing and dragging confusion

desperately crying for understanding

while denying any need for others

displaying spoiled behavior publicly

pretending to be more important

acting as actress or actor on stage

drunk, drugged and entitled all

engulfed in selfishness’ apathy

refusing to understand or feel

mental shortness of breath

taking in the last breath of life!

“Wanting the US to Fail”

“Wanting the US to Fail” 

cji

7/7/12

One must always remember there are those who want the US to fail – the implantation of the UN was a step in that direction – the direct election of Senators – the Federal Reserve System – killing JFK – and among them are the very rich – who feel they can run the world – only problem is Russia and China think they can run the world – and Islam thinks it is supposed to rule the world!  None really believe in God or the Son – but their faith is in their wealth and power.  Power is far more important than wealth. Power only feeds on getting more power.  Then they again need more power – and thus once they’ve controlled their small domains they look for bigger ones!  The only thing left is the world.  

The key to controlling the world is through the US (or America).  There are no detours or other alternatives the US has to fail!  The resilience of the free enterprise system to rebound and produce is beyond any other nation in the world.  The idea of freedom – is born and bred into most Americans.  Even though our schools, media, movies, tv, music and other alternative distractions work 24/7 to destroy the ideas implicit in freedom – enough Americans get the idea and carry it on. 

How can others overthrow or destroy the United States of America?  It has to have help from within – there have to be spies, traitors, and government officials willing to commit treason. Externally most of the pieces are in place; terrorism, control of the UN Security Council, Cuba, Mexico, Oil Prices, the unrestricted flow of illegals across our borders, the shameless mass meetings of other nations rallying with money and other support to alien groups within the US.  At times our media, tv, movies, music, etc. sound more like Communism and Socialism than the nations who’ve adopted and failed with these systems.  Thus the infiltration of the US has been ongoing since prior to 1900 – and continues unabated today from outside the USA.

However, it’s inside the USA that the biggest strides have been made since 1960 to present.  The leaning to the far left by our schools of higher education is where much begins.  The lack of providing an alternative to the racism/hatred/low self-esteem and general conditions in our inner-cities is disgraceful.  However, those who could do the most to help turn this status around foster the racism/hatred/low self-esteem in order to maintain their power position in the various communities by blaming others especially the white middle class.  One need only understand where most of the illegal aliens will go when getting into the US – to the inner-cites where they can organize and become lost at the same time.  Then we must consider the Political Correctness which has strangled our nation’s ability to enforce laws already on the books thus stagnating our legal system and order founded upon the Constitution. 

One of the greatest in-roads to the destruction of the US came from those who’ve sworn to uphold the Constitution.  They instead change what is not broken – and worse they did it to take away from both the states and people a balanced House of Representatives and Senate.  Senators used be appointed by the states!  This gave the states control over their senators – to take them out of their office when they no longer had the best interest of the states and their population.  The House and the Senate pushed through legislation and an Amendment to the Constitution to allow for the direct election of the Senate.  Thus with the direct election of Senators now all of the parts of government could now be purchased for a price.  This meant anyone with enough money and the media to push them can get elected. NYS is the worst – as anyone can move in claim residency and run for Senator – i.e. Clinton, Kennedy – etc.  Outside of NY City neither of the two mentioned even knew there was more to NY.  With the direct election of Senators – only the big cities within any state now controlled the political position of the state without any checks or controls! 

Thus direct election of Senators severely damned the US – and those who pushed it – knew it would happen – the downfall of the US started shortly after Jefferson defeated Adams!  Slowly and surely from that time on moneyed interests took over.  Every depression has been man-made in the US – with the rich getting richer and the poor splitting what is left over.  Every war has been power motivated – even the Civil War – with states’ rights and specialized interests.  The Spanish American War was so blatantly false – WWI and WWII did not have to occur.  Had nations stepped in to assist China and most of Europe Hitler and the Japanese would never had gotten off of the ground.  Our president knew of the Japanese Attack planned on Pearl Harbor and so did the Russians (our allies). 

Vietnam could’ve been over before it was started and would’ve been but for JFK being shot – and LBJ turning it into a money-maker for himself and family.  What’s going on today could’ve been settled for our role at the beginning with support given to the separatist states – via religion (or what they call religion from the get go.

But men/women who want power need warfare – they joy in it – for without warfare they’ve to be accountable and responsible – and of course the adversary just delights in the contention, lying, beguiling, deception, rhetoric and evil inherit in warfare.  Men/women are most afraid if they’re wrong about Heavenly Father and His Son our Lord and Savior – and surely they never want to find out.  They hire and pay their ministers – send them to theology schools to learn the proper rhetoric – and pay them well!  And they are not under any circumstances allowed to teach the Bible literally (and of course this has been going on since the 2^nd Century in what is known as Christianity – and in Greek Philosophy since Socrates had to drink the Hemlock.  Islam is a political catch-all for those who want to have a different type of power – one filled with hatred, lust and greed. 

There is no middle ground – either one is on the Lord’s side – or they are not!  And those who seek to destroy the US, our Freedom’s and the worlds are not on the Lord’s side!  However, knowing the Prophets allows one and all to understand in simple terms what is going on today.  Without the Scriptures and the Prophets/Apostles one hasn’t a clue or better doesn’t want to have a clue.  This is even the good Christians and others deny the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Living Prophet today and the living Apostles and that the Savior and the Father have restored their Church again on this earth.

Of two things we can be absolutely sure: first, that the Church will never again be removed from this earth as long as there is one righteous member; and second, things will continue to get much worse – so bad in fact that one cannot imagine how bad it will be.  One must be found obedient to the Word or God – all of the Work (not just pick and choose) and that they must read and pray and study on their own without paying someone else to do it for them which way to go as there again are only two.  The road to Zion and the road to Babylon!  One can be carnal with the world and worldly or they can be peculiar, have integrity, read the clear teachings of the Scriptures, and then choose to follow the Savior and His Restored Church. Those who choose to be worldly will find the evil ahead livable and justifiable.  Those who choose to follow the Savior will find trials, tribulations and tests exceeded only by Abraham and most will be equal to his.  Repeated often in the Scriptures is the idea and message of being able to endure to the end (or death).  Many say they cannot and therefore reject what the Savior has taught them.  Many will say I don’t have to do anything but believe and anything else doesn’t matter.  This is a lie!  It is only after all we can do – that the Grace of God helps us out and along.  As James stated, “Faith without works is dead.” 

Back to the power and the powerful – they’ve nothing to do with what has been written above – their religion is that everything has a price – and they’ve the money to pay the price whatever the cost is.  And in surveys it’s been found that most will do anything for money – even kill, sell their spouse, children and themselves into slavery if the price is right.  Every day in the media we see where of the aforementioned are done on an almost daily basis.

Let’s again understand to ruin America – is to ruin all freedom in the world!  Without the US there will be no freedom left – no other nation can defend themselves without the US as an ally.  Until the American Revolution there was extremely limited freedom in the world if any at all.  Each nation had class systems – dictators, kings, queens, czars, despots, emperors, clerics, and whatever else amounted to the various forms of government in the world prior to 1776.  There was no real freedom throughout the world before the United States – there were classes and privileges – but not per se’ uniform freedoms. Thus if one can destroy the US from within or from without or both – then the powerful will have won denying people freedom.  Will this happen – the powerful think so – the Chinese think so – the Russians think so – and the Muslims think so!  The Prophets and Apostles on behalf of the Savior disagree!

Gathering up on different sides

hungrily – ravenously waiting

all nations solemnly debating

of their who ultimately abides;

Wanting the US to fail soon

driving in nail after nail hard

dividing and deploying shard

in sheer ecstasy to swoon;

Unwillingly to commit treason

thinking they’ll be on top

unknowingly unable to stop

irrationally as is their reason!

“History is Repetitive”

“History is Repetitive”

cji

4/21/12

History is very repetitive – as the adversary knows what works and what doesn’t.  Most ignore what they should be learning.  Substituting what they’d like to know (that which makes life easier) disregarding responsibility and accountability – i.e. the alternate plan in the preexistence which those with physical mortal bodies rejected.  Satan’s Plan was that we all come down get a body and then return without trials or tribulations – thus without agency to choose right or wrong.  We choose to be tested, tried and to enter the refiner’s fire. 

As having chosen the path of agency and that of choices – men/women tend to weaken under the stress and revert to that of less accountability and responsibility – which is why they choose kings, queens, dictators, czars and large powerful governments rather than to exercise their own freedoms – they want someone telling them what to do and when and with what.  Which is why few there are that make it in the world of Heavenly Father’s Commandments.  Thus some 50,000 churches to choose from each teaching some truth mixed with the philosophy of men/women.  Many are called and few chosen – while many more never will hear the word’s or even know of the Father and the Son.  However, those who do and can read and understand – are those who live under the justice of knowledge – and most of these choose the Gospel of Men/Women – i.e. Greek Philosophy rather than the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ.  They reject the idea of one church, one baptism and one way.  This they say is too restrictive!  However, obedience is always more restrictive until one understands the purpose of the Plan of Salvation and true happiness in this life and eternal life hereafter. 

Indeed many who are righteous – good people – feel useless in the world of men/women – because they do not literally believe the Bible or other Scriptures.  And yes there is little we can do for the salvation of this world – but there is much we can do for ourselves, loved ones, and those seeking to find the answers to: 1) Where did we come from; 2) Why are we here; and 3) Where will be going after death.  Example and good works – and complete, willing obedience to the Commandments (all of them – and there are many more than just the basic ten) and the Covenants one can make with the Father and the Son only while in mortality if they’ve knowledge of who the Father and the Son are – read or had access to the Bible.  All of the remainder will hear these things during the Millennium and choose as they would’ve chosen if having heard in their mortal probation. Many will still reject this message of eternal life. 

One must comprehend that many of the 50,000 Christian denominations believe there’s a heaven and hell – while neither accepting Paul’s or others teachings – especially those of the Savior – and figure on deathbed repentance or some time, somewhere and then becoming administering angels.  Only one absolutely believes what the Prophets and the Savior have taught – that families can be eternal in the Celestial Kingdom (if worthy) and have eternal increase – while those not found worthy will be in one of the other Kingdom’s as described in Scriptures – with only a few being cast into outer darkness with Satan and the one-third which followed him in the preexistence.  Most who describe Hell have little or no understanding – the same as understanding Heaven. 

Yet men/women will reject the simple common sense – consider those like me a ‘bigot’ or ‘self-righteous’ while having neither done their own homework of what is available to be studied and understood.  It’s much easier to label another than to improve oneself by personal study or research.  Many have retrograded their learning where they accept fiction as truth – and nothing can change their minds. Thus the world is more than happy to have company cater to this type of thinking and learning.  The whole idea of the Greeks was give them what they want and they will pay you well for what they get – rhetoric. 

In many places one is not allowed to even say certain things – i.e. Middle East – anything of any religion other than Islam or Judaism (depending on nation); both founded upon the ideals of men/women seeking power after the death of another.  This is not unlike some in the Racist community using Dr. King as an example of their belief system – while denying privately all that he tried to accomplish. In Islam there was no one to follow Mohammed – yet they could form governments and enforce their will upon others – claiming one thing while teaching another.  In Judaism the Rabbi’s did the same thing in 70AD – destroying everything which taught the true beliefs on their religion – claiming the right to be the spokesmen from then on.  In Christianity the same thing has occurred from the time of the end of the Apostles of the Savior – by the Gnostics – who changed the teachings of the Apostles and the Savior till the semblance of what was taught once was gone forever as Paul foretold.  In history it is much the same – China one cannot have any religion and be acknowledged by the government – the same in Russia and many other nations around the world.  In the US one can teach whatever they want as long as it doesn’t take the Bible literally or any other claiming to be Scripture.  Not being allowed to mention something dealing with truth is to deny truth – and thus substitute with their own fiction and calling it truth (which it will never be). 

Of course much of this is redundant – over and over – and then they turn to the books sold as revised history which can be shuffled as a deck of cards to reject both common sense and truth.  Therefore history is irrelevant unless it supports what one wants to believe and ignore the truth of what really happened and why – and what will happen and why.  Of course the Scriptures in their fullness are really only understandable to those who ask with a sincere heart – having faith – and then putting into their works what they’ve learned.  Thus the same with history – it becomes only relevant when one goes to primary sources – unaltered by men/women and defines what was going on at the time of the various events.  This material is available (actually in abundance) but since most no longer desire to read – it lies gathering dust on the shelves of time.  When one does refer to it – they are thought to be out of step and out of time.  History and religion are tied closely together – to ignore one and destroy the other as men/women continue to do is to redefine where we came from – why we are here – and where we might be going after death.  Remove these three questions and their answers which are easily available (without interpretation for each to learn on their own) one destroys the ability or reason to be honest, moral, virtuous, truthful, and any other characteristic of good.  When one looks into the windows of today’s world they see men/women as nothing more than animals – with the one difference of having greed, avarice, envy, lusts, desires for wealth and power, and to be liked!  Most animals are mainly worried about survival – and unfortunately now are many of those called men/women.

The great minds of this world have lost a grip on reality – having become much as spoken in Genesis – 3:22 “¶And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:”  Men/women feel they’re not only like deity but indeed smarter than whatever might have been out there. Thus they no longer need any religion – and anyway doesn’t evolution prove there was nothing before – and therefore nothing after?  Common sense and reason – have been replaced by a false reality of pleasing the audience – being rewarded – living for the day with no thought of the next second, minute, hour, day or indeed future time.  In the beliefs of this world – because of a need for membership – funds – and followers – anything is taught to satisfy the animal hunger of men/women. 

In those remote cases where this is not the case – and truth is taught and believed and lived - these beliefs are ridiculed and denied making those who believe symbols of a lie.  Thus one will find very few totally obedient to the Commandments and Teachings literally found in the Bible or other Scriptures.  And who are those most vindictive against these truthful teachings – those that others pay to teach them.  Therefore getting what they want to hear – going away sedated with their lifestyle the attacks continue against any truths being taught or lived.  History is the same way – many refuse to believe there was a Holocaust – others refuse that there are Prophets – while others refuse to believe in a God – others still believe nothing and don’t really care. 

One might ask an onion a question being as acceptable as anyone else – and this might be acceptable if an onion could talk or reason. One can see and know an onion can make you cry – please your taste – and flavor your life – just like the beguiling words of men/women who speak and teach without reason yet are able to talk.  In the world there are those taught by onions (or similar) and being so taught – they cry, taste and find flavor – and come away without reason or truth in a world which someday (even today and yesterday) requires truth and reason.

“History is Repetitive”

4/21/12

Great books are so written

paintings of such wonder

oratory in plays or opera

measures of time past

history is repetitive to all

even those who care not

as to those who desire all

blending truth and fiction

points of view so diverse

depending on the goals

to gain men/women’s souls

demandingly to converse

creating confused friction

any learning to forestall

revisionist history forgot

somehow unable to recall

anyway nothing to last

even the blood of sabra

rhetoric left to ponder

so said and so written!

"My Thoughts"

This is a reply to a member of the clergy of a church in Maryland. He shared his thoughts with an audience dealing with the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – My reply starts where he ends – and then reviews the document he send/shared. My comments are in red – his are in black - chuck
Whereas he ends with saying, “I know what I believe and they know what they believe, and that is enough,” I’m not sure what he believes we believe. Much of what he’s written can constantly be found in anti-Mormon literature – of which there are over 20,000 texts mostly repeating one another. Hopefully to clarify – I searched for a Church since the age of 11 – had read the Bible cover to cover and was good friends with a Catholic Priest. We had regular meetings once a week for five years to discuss the Bible. When I was preparing to leave – he told me if I ever found what I was looking for – “A Church which met the description found in the Bible to tell him.” He died when I was in the Far East. For over 18 years – 1955-1973 I went to every church I could find – asking questions – and mostly being told not to return – and after being married – my bride was told she could come back but to leave me at home. My library extends to translations of documents from before 3000BC – unto the modern day. I study every day from the writings of those who were the foremost scholars of the time from 1000BC through to the Age of Reformation. Let me be quite clear – anyone can spit into the wind- not very smart to do but one can do it. When one attacks another’s belief – that is what they are doing. One, because it should be no concern of theirs and two, all it does is muddy the waters and cause confrontation (which is of the adversary). Why I choose to address this is because when one talks about what I believe and shares it with others – then they cause confusion – and again confusion is of the adversary. Below are my thoughts. chuck

Hi Guys,
Some folks have been asking me to reiterate the five theologies that separate the Mormon Church from all Mainline Christian Denominations, causing all other mainline Christian Denominations to affirm that Mormonism is another religion and not merely another denomination. Here goes...
The five theologies that cause every mainline Christian denomination to affirm that Mormonism is not a Christian religion, but is an entirely different religion are:
One would think anyone would start and end with the Book of Mormon – is it true or is it fiction? According to Smithsonian and others of very high report – it is True and according to all of the historical evidence uncovered since its original publication (none of which could or would’ve been available in 1830) – it is not only true but in harmony with the Holy Bible and the all of the relevant material taken from the Dead Sea Scrolls, etc.
Was Joseph Smith, Jr. a Prophet of God – all the evidence points to the fact that he was! Yes, there are those who continue to maintain that he was a fraud however, the evidence is clear this is not the case. One can believe what they want but in the end only what is true will really matter.
Should the Bible be taken literally or just some here and there? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints takes the Holy Bible literally! And this alone separates it from all other Christian Religions – which use their various Creeds and own writings in addition to what Bible says. (I say this not as a criticism but as a fact – in that I used to belong to many of these churches growing up.)
1. Brigham Young, Joseph Smith's successor stated, "As man is God was, and as God is, man will become." This is a statement of equality with God that is fundamentally opposed by both Judaism and Christianity, and can be tracked back to the garden where the Devil tempted Adam and Eve with knowledge that was equal to God.
One might look at Genesis and then throughout the Bible – The Savior and Prophets tell those who are righteous might expect eternal life and live in the presence of the Father and the Son – which is what the Savior taught. What no one seems to address is what will we be doing in their presence – there are many secular guesses – but that’s all they are. Basically if one likes one guess better than another – that is their choice. However, it must be remembered – if you belong to one church or another – you should best believe and understand what they believe (i.e. their creeds, etc.) Basically the ‘couplet’ above is just that – a couplet – nothing more. What a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes if you are not a member – really shouldn’t matter – what you believe should. One who is a member of any church should seek to understand their own beliefs in harmony with their churches beliefs and not worry about anyone else.
It would be my guess – that many who continue to attack what I believe surely have something better to do with their time. My time is not useful in either attacking or demeaning them but to lift them up and wish them well.
2. Baptism for the Dead is prohibited by the bible. Mormon genealogies are the most extensive in the world because an ancestral link needs to be established if a Mormon is going to be baptized for a deceased person. If a person has not been baptized in the Mormon church, they cannot enter the innermost circle of heaven, while they can inhabit outer rings if they lead a good life and follow God the Father.
What did Paul teach? What did Job teach? As for those who will or will not make it to the Celestial Kingdom as described by Paul – that is called final judgment and only Heavenly Father and the Savior can make that judgment – neither you nor I can make such judgment. Again if one chooses to do Baptism for the Dead – why should that bother someone who doesn’t?
3. Blood Atonement - the theology that one's own blood is only sufficient to satisfy some sins. A theology of absolute grace is not part of Mormon theology.
Blood Atonement (as above #3) is not a teaching of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – for the Atonement of the Savior is the most important act done by one for another. Through this Atonement all men/women (those who’ve been born into mortality are or can be saved). Thus all are Saved through the Atonement of the Savior – however, being Saved is only the beginning and not the end in itself. Otherwise much of the Bible would have to be disregarded. Again as Paul talks of the various degrees of Glory – surely there must be something which assign one to one and one to another. And this is by their works! Surely the Theology of Absolute Grace (good time for a definition of Grace) –
Grace is the help or strength given through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the grace of God, everyone who has lived will be resurrected—our spirits will be reunited with our bodies, never again to be separated. Through His grace, the Lord also enables those who live His gospel to repent and be forgiven.
Grace is a gift from Heavenly Father given through His Son, Jesus Christ. The word grace, as used in the scriptures, refers primarily to enabling power and spiritual healing offered through the mercy and love of Jesus Christ.
Everyone on earth experiences physical death. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, all will be resurrected and will live forever (see 1 Corinthians 15:20-22; 2 Nephi 9:6-13).
Because of personal choices, everyone also experiences the effects of sin (see 1 John 1:8-10; Mosiah 16:4). These effects are called spiritual death. No one can return to the presence of God without divine grace. Through the Atonement, we all can be forgiven of our sins; we can become clean before God. To receive this enabling power, we must obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, which includes having faith in Him, repenting of our sins, being baptized, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and trying to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ for the rest of our lives (see Ephesians 2:8-9; James 2:17-22; 2 Nephi 25:23; 31:20).
The grace of God helps us every day. It strengthens us to do good works we could not do on our own. The Lord promised that if we humble ourselves before Him and have faith in Him, His grace will help us overcome all our personal weaknesses (see Ether 12:27).
Scripture References
Acts 15:11
Romans 5:2
2 Nephi 10:24; 11:5
Grace is part and parcel of the Teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Clarity of what one believes or doesn’t – does not come from the teachings of one person or another but from what is found in the Scriptures. (Note: in the late 1850’s one member did teach this false doctrine of Blood Atonement – and was excommunicated for his teachings.)
4. Theology of who Jesus is - the messiah for this world alone. Mormon theology states that some Mormon men will become messiahs for other worlds, and that Jesus was merely the messiah for this world. They are pseudo-Christian in their faith, claiming that they worship Jesus Christ and that only a fool would believe that they were not Christians - which is based on a thin veneer of monotheism stretched over a religion that is inherently polytheistic.
We worship Jesus Christ as the Savior of this world – the Son of Heavenly Father – and no one else! We respect the great men and women of this world – i.e. Prophets, Apostles and others noteworthy in doing the good for all mankind. In the pre-existence there was a counsel held in Heaven – which our Lord and Savior stepped forth on our behalf – we cheered – and thus both Justice and Mercy could be served and mankind could be saved.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not polytheistic we believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost – and according to Webster’s a Christian is one who believes Jesus is the Christ – or the Messiah of this world! That he may very well be of many worlds we do not know in our limited intelligences – but we know for sure He is for this world.
5. Denial of the trinity as a theology that makes god into a monster. Instead the Mormon church affirms that Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are entirely separate entities.
One would think that the Creeds of Men/women override the Scriptures? Jesus Testified of doing what His Father sent him to do – at the Baptism by John – the Heavens opened and a voice was heard, “This is my beloved Son!” When Stephen was stoned – for what reason – that he said he saw the Savior standing at the right hand of the Father. The Father and the Son both have bodies of Flesh and Bone – this is testified to in all of the writings – the Scriptures and those who saw the Savior after the Resurrection around the world.
Really #4 and #5 are simple extensions of #1 which is the most fundamental break with Christianity.
Therefore, stating is that if you don’t believe in the Creeds of Men/women you cannot be a Christian – this to my understanding is false as Webster’s states that to be a Christian one has only to believe in Jesus Christ and follow his teachings.
There are some other theologies that are distracting but not part of a case that Mormonism is not a Christian religion. They include:
1. Polygamy that extends beyond simply one man with multiple wives, but an eternity of sexism where a woman's best aspiration is to be the first wife of a Mormon god. The wives of protestants and other men in heaven will be given to Mormon gods. Polygamy was part of the Hebrew traditions, but sexism is not nearly as strong even in Jewish history or antiquity as it is in the Mormon church.
Sexism in Heaven? We believe the family is eternal and that husbands and wives will be together forever – and with their eternal families – progenitors and posterity – this is taught in the Scriptures (Bible) – by the Prophets and by the Savior! Men and women (as husbands and wives) are heirs together forever – with equality in all things – with each having responsibilities while always being one with the other.
2. Prejudice in the theology that black people are an incarnation of angels that fought for Satan in the great war in heaven. While they can get into heaven, they have a long uphill battle to get there. If we take away a theology that all people are sons and daughters of God, it changes the way we look at other nations, races, or cultures in a fundamental way.
Anyone who fought for Satan – cannot have a physical body or be born into this world (see Bible) – and surely Blacks have as great a role in our Church as in any other Church – actually here in the Deep South we’re one of the few Churches which have both white and black (and all other races) in attendance and leadership. Further The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has more membership outside of the US than inside – thus it is a world religion.
3. Renunciation of all family ties with any Mormon son or daughter who renounces the faith. This kind of social pressure inhibits free will and the possibility of a person freely and joyfully accepting a relationship with God.
There is never a renunciation of all family ties – one loves and cherishes their children forever – however, at the age of eight (if one can be accountable) each person within a family make their own choices (agency is only in effect as long as one is in obedience to the Commandments of God) – and under no social pressure to be good. However, in the world of today it would seem everyone is under social pressure to be bad/evil – or as some would say, ‘simply free to do whatever they want – without any consequences.” The relationship with Heavenly Father – is one of each individual whether they belong to an organized church or not – and this is done by their obedience to the Commandments of God – “If you love me, keep my Commandments.” No one needs a church to show this love – if this were the requirement then many wonderful people would’ve been denied this choice – and that is not in keeping with either Justice or Mercy.
4. The Book of Mormon was revised from its original publication. This is not an issue until one considers that the BOM was said to be a completely inspired translation, and therefore infallible. This theology is the basis for all things in the bible being interpreted in light of the BOM rather than interpreting the BOM in light of the bible. Mormons universally believe that the BOM is more authoritative than the Bible in all matters of faith.
The Book of Mormon was updated (not revised, rewritten or changed in context or subject or was anything changed from the original inspired translation) – only in type setting (three errors in transmission not translation) and putting it into chapters and verses – much as was done with the Holy Bible.
In light of this one might be able to explain why 3,400 books of the Bible are missing – or some 10,000 letters? Or why each edition of the Bible adds and deletes material not suited to one’s current point of view. We use the standard KJV (approximately 1750’s) version of the Bible – as most Bible Historians – have openly admitted that since 1880 most new editions of the Bible are quite different –now numbering in the thousands. Basically it doesn’t matter if one reads the Bible – studying and praying – pondering – one can discern the truth and if not they can follow the admonition of James 1:5; “If anyone lack wisdom, ask of God who giveth liberally to all.”
The value of Scripture is that it is what the Father and the Son want all the people to know – that they would teach those of the ten tribes scattered around the world – and those who left Israel – was known not only the Greeks but to the early Christians. Ref. Origen quoting Clement of Alexandria in referring to ‘those who are not of this flock’ – would a loving God not have scriptures with all of his children?
5. Joseph Smith's original wife left the church and him, as did all of the individuals that were said to have seen the BOM after fasting and praying in order to be pure enough to see it. (I'll have to double check my facts on this one. I'm not quite certain that it is true. I am positive about his wife and a number of his followers, but I am not certain that it was all of the original group that left the religion before their deaths)
Emma Smith stayed behind in Nauvoo and she remarried. Before anyone judges her with final judgment – remember all she endured and went through – thus I believe it is unfair to bring her into such a discussion (and she never denied her testimony). However, as to the Three Witnesses and the Eight Witnesses – some did and some did not leave the Church – some who did leave returned – but note – none (not one) ever denied their testimony of what they had seen and touched – and they each indeed did see an Angel. And if you are discussing those who left the Church – many left the Church over the trials and tribulations – having their homes burned – loved ones killed (by the good citizens urged on by the media and clergy) – some left over certain doctrines – others because they wanted to do it their way – and some simply for power/greed/lust. Many were also excommunicated due to teaching false doctrine (i.e. the one who taught about Blood Atonement in the 1850’s - A. Lyman).
Wonderful qualities as a separate religion to applaud and admire:
1. Each Mormon goes on a 2 year mission when they graduate high school or college. This is only rivaled by the Moravian history of missionary work that inspired John Wesley and many others.
2. Generosity and hard work as basic ethics
In the end, if all can agree that Mormonism is not the same as Christianity in almost any way other than the fact that the Mormon church also uses the Bible as a holy book - Mormons should be applauded as making a positive impact on the world. The vast majority of Mormons are good people who live fulfilling and graceful lives that are focused on giving back to their community. They are another religion that is peace-loving and generous, focused on altruistic ideals and genuine desire to see humanity thrive. I personally know and love numerous friends who happen to worship in the Mormon church. We pretty much agree to disagree as to their status as Christians, and that's ok. I know what I believe and they know what they believe, and that is enough.
As to what we believe:
The Articles of Faith
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints



1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Sharing sincere love
wanting none to hide
finding logic and reason
fit for most any season
it is then in truth to abide
finding guidance above;

Confusion and contention
creating illusions of truth
needful to be careful
both humble and grateful
addressing old and youth
removing hostile intention;

My thoughts shared
hoping clarifying true
never attacking another
as all are sister/brother
understanding anew
knowing we each cared!
