It’s dangerous disagreeing with the left and their warped minds.
Christianity
This is a sermon by the Jewish Christian Preacher Hyman J. Appelman.
‘In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink (John 7:37).
We are told in our American histories that De Soto, the Spanish explorer, in the early days of the discovery and colonization of our glorious land, landed on the shores of Florida with the idea of finding the legendary Fountain of Youth. Of course, he never found it. He is buried somewhere beneath the waters of the Mississippi. Others have followed in the searchings of De Soto. Beauty culture, medical science, gland transplantation—those of monkeys into human beings, as though the poor apes were not already suffering enough from the base accusation that they are responsible by evolutionary descent or ascent (depending on whether you are looking up from
man, or down from the anthropoids) for men’s vagaries—and many other things have been tried to insure the longevity, the vitality, the youth of the human family.
All have successfully and successively failed.
Here, however, there is proposed by God, there is proffered by the Lord Jesus Christ, there is presented by the Holy Spirit a real fountain, not only of the passing youth, but of life, of eternal life, of eternal youth, vigor and joy.
The setting of the story is simple. The feast to which reference is made herein is the Feast of the Tabernacles. This feast continued for eight days, and the first and last days were of primary importance, particularly the latter. On that day, the priests were wont to bring water from the
pool of Siloam, to offer it to the Lord, while they sang—“With joy shall ye draw water from the wells of salvation.”
Our Lord improved the occasion by inviting the people of His day and time, and of all the succeeding ages and generations, to partake of the water of life. “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.”
This is a thirsty world.
- There is physical thirst, mental thirst, moral thirst, spiritual thirst.
- There is the thirst of the artist for beauty.
- There is the thirst of the scientist for knowledge.
- There is the thirst of the toiler for ease.
- There is the thirst for wealth.
- There is the thirst for peace.
- There is the thirst for pleasure.
- There is the burning, blighting, destroying thirst of gambling.
- There is the thirst for freedom.
- There is the thirst for financial assurance.
- There is the thirst for safety here and hereafter.
This entire world is just one vast, dry desert, with the generations of men, lost travelers, following some will-o’-the-wisp or other—philosophical, psychological, philanthropic, political, educational, reformational, even religious suggestion—only to find them to be deluding mirages that rob them of what little hope self, sin and Satan may have left them. The rise of all sorts of cults, of off brand religions, of palm readers, of spiritualists, or clairvoyants, are but some of the
signs of this thirst assailing mankind. No one has ever been able to find entire satisfaction for that burning longing save in the Lord Jesus Christ.
May we then analyze His glorious invitation in this way. First, to what are we invited? Second, who is invited? Third, why should we accept the invitation?
Firstly, Jesus Cries, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink”
This is, of course, figurative, metaphorical. Jesus also speaks of Himself as the bread of life, “the meat which endureth to everlasting life.” Our coming to Christ to drink means that we are to receive from Him all those spiritual blessings, all those eternal mercies that He has to bestow
upon us. But, to be more specific, let us consider the benefits to which Christ invites us, of which we may freely and abundantly drink and partake at this fountain of life: There is the receiving of pardon from all of our sins.
You will never, never, never have quietness of min, peace of heart, soul satisfaction, until you know your sins are forgiven. The haunting remorse, the biting days, the sleepless nights, will be your constant heritage until you come under the blood. You may lose yourself for a time in the whirl of some pleasure, in the stupefaction of some sin, but you will come to yourself again and again to find that you have been grasping the wind, with the taste of gall and bitter wormwood
on your tongue. The forgiveness of sins is your primal need. It is only through Christ that you can obtain the blessing. He obtained it for you by His death. Only the water and the blood which flowed from Immanuel’s side can cleanse you from all sin.
Then there is the knowledge of the truth.
Without Christ we wander in doubts and uncertainties and are subject to innumerable mistakes. If we would walk surely, we must follow Jesus. He Himself said, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
He says again, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.”
Also, there is spiritual consolation.
In Him we have the grace and the power for complete sanctification, to walk unspotted in the midst of this crooked and perverse generation. He gives rest to the weary soul bowed down by the vicissitudes of life. One of His very mightiest invitations is couched in the familiar words,
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He keeps constantly before our minds the promises of His Holy Word, the presence of His blessed Spirit, the certain prospects of future glory.
Last of all, we are invited to eternal happiness.
Nowhere on earth can we find this save in the Lord. No one in all creation can bestow it save the Christ of God. He has it in His power and at His bestowal. It is all the fruit of his sufferings and
death. He, and He alone, can give us the sight and enjoyment of God. He, and He alone, can lead us to Living Fountains. Of what use is all the world if we miss eternal bliss?
Secondly, let us consider to whom this urgent invitation is presented
The text specifically tells us that it is given to every man who thirsts. This invitation is not limited. Formerly the Jews claimed the exclusive privilege of being God’s people; but now both Jews and Gentiles are invited to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Not only is this invitation given to all nations, but to every kind of sinner; however great, numerous, or longstanding your sins may be. While Jesus was here upon the earth, He healed bodily diseases that had continued many years. The same Physician can cure spiritual diseases of the longest standing. His blood cleanses from all sin. - He came to save the chief of sinners.
- He saved a persecuting Saul.
- He saved the thief on the cross.
- He prayed for His murderers, and God forgave three thousand of them on the day of
Pentecost—perhaps many others later. - He made the first offers of mercy to those who despised and crucified Him.
He will cast none out. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh
to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).
But what is this thirsting after Christ? Surely it means the thirst of the soul.
There must be a sense of the want of Christ.
Oh, brother! Oh, sister! - You want Him for justification.
- You want Him for comfort.
- You want Him for peace.
- You want Him for power.
- You want Him in sorrow.
- You want Him in the hour of death.
- You want Him to represent you at the judgment.
- You want Him to keep you out of hell.
- You want Him to take you into heaven.
- You want Him.
- You need Him.
- You will perish without Him.
Then there must be a sense of the worth of Christ.
He is most excellent in every one of His mighty attributes. He is our only Saviour. He is our sole physician. He is able to supply every want. He is able to heal every disease. He is able to save to the uttermost depths of depravity, to the uttermost degree of temptation, to the uttermost duration of time. There is no soul too steeped in iniquity for His mighty power to release. There is no sin too deeply ingrained for His matchless merits to remit. There is no sinner so far in the wilderness of transgression that Christ cannot bring Him back, safe-cradled in His bosom.
Finally, there must be an ardent, passionate desire after Him
Thirst is the word. You must thirst after Him, thirst for Him. You must long, and tell me, do you not long to taste the sweetness of His pardon, the warmth of His grace, the depths of His love, the breadth of His comfort, the length of His eternal salvation? Tell me, if you think I am too
vehement, too insistent. What have you without Jesus? Tell me, what will you take in exchange for your soul’s salvation and satisfaction in Christ? Tell me, what is the devil giving you that will pay you for unhappiness here and torture hereafter?
The last question is: why should we accept this invitation?
There are numberless reasons. I have time for just a very few of them, a limited few.
First, there is the consideration of the Person who invites us.
It is not some prophet, some preacher, some priest, not even some church, or churches. It is Jesus, the beloved Son of God, the King of kings, the Lord of lords. - How would you treat an invitation from the President of the United States?
- How would you treat an invitation from the King of England?
- How would you treat an invitation from the governor of this state?
- How would you treat an invitation from one whom you held in high esteem?
- How will you treat this invitation from the Sovereign of the Universe?
There is the consideration of our wants.
How desperately bad is our state out of Christ. We are in bondage to sin. We are liable to all sorts of afflictions, to pain, to death. There is the uneasiness and horror of the soul in view of the inevitable wrath of God that is sure to be visited upon our sins. We cannot help ourselves. I cannot say that often enough. We are without strength, without hope, without God. But let us come to Christ and all will be well here and hereafter.
Then, there is the welcome that others have found in the Lord Jesus Christ. He has made them the sons of God. He has showered them with the abundance, aye, the superabundance of His mercies.
I have met too many people, both young and old, men and women, in the upper classes and in the lowest strata of society, who were desperately sorry for every minute they had spent in the service of Satan. I have yet to meet a single Christian, and I have met millions of them under all
sorts of circumstances and conditions, who was sorry for having accepted Jesus Christ as his or her personal Saviour. The unanimous testimony of the satisfied generations of Christians is
another great proof that your own life would be best in the hands of the Redeemer.
There is, also, the mighty plea that these benefits to which we are invited, these benefits that I have attempted to portray before you, can be obtained nowhere else in all this vast, wide world.
Christ is the only fountain which sends forth these streams of salvation to lost mankind. There is no other mediator between God and man but Christ. - There is no other sacrifice for sin.
- There is no other High Priest to intercede for us.
Life, light, love, “and the peace of God which passeth all understanding” are to be found only in Him.
Oh, may the Holy Spirit of God press these wondrous truths upon your thirsty souls. Let us together admire, thank God for, and rejoice in the matchless kindness, the munificent grace of
the Redeemer in surrounding us with tokens of His favor and goodness, in ever inviting us to this providential fountain of life and bliss, in seeking us instead of waiting until we sought Him.
Oh, my friends, if you thirst, if these words have stirred up that dormant longing, that yearning of soul which you have been striving to cover by indifference, or even by sinful pursuits, come to Christ and drink. Drink your fill! Keep on drinking !
Oh, I beseech you, do not stay away and perish in the desert of your transgressions. Obey the call, heed the invitation. Go to Christ. Apply to Him by faith. Cast yourselves upon His great mercies. Know that He would never invite you if He were unwilling to receive you. Go now!
Drink now! Why should you go on until the very marrow of your bones is dried out? Why should you be content with the rotgut drinks of the world when the wine of God, the milk of Heaven, the water of life is pressed to your lips?
Stoop down, brother! Stoop down, sister! Stoop down and drink!
Right now, right where you are, see the hand of Jesus pierced for your sins, holding the cup of salvation out to you! - By faith take it from His hand.
- By faith press it to your lips.
- By faith drink, and drink, and drink.
You will know such joy that your heart will overflow with it. You will know such thanksgiving that your soul will be flooded with it. You will know such praise that you will want to shout it from the housetops.’http://baptistbiblebelievers.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=nsD-yc1wh8k%3d&tabid=455&mid=1431
In South Australia a bill that prohibits even silent prayer outside an abortion clinic may be passed by November, 2020. ‘Silent prayer outside abortion clinics can be particularly harmful to women trying to access healthcare. The objects of the Health Care (Safe Access) Amendment Bill 2020 (SA) (‘the Bill’) would be completely undermined by an amendment that authorises silent prayer within a health access zone, by allowing anti-abortion activists to invade the privacy and threaten the wellbeing of patients seeking abortion care.’https://www.hrlc.org.au/news/2020/7/17/explainer-sas-health-access-zones-should-not-exempt-silent-prayer
Why do people pay more to go to private schools that promote or allow the same sinful lifestyles as do the lower cost government schools? For example ‘The student body president at Calvin University, a private Christian school affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church (CRC), has come out as gay.
Writing in The Chimes, Calvin’s student newspaper, Student Body President Claire Murashima wrote, “In the 102 years that Student Senate has existed, we’ve never had an openly gay student body president. It’s beyond time that the LGBTQ community is represented in the highest student leadership position at Calvin. I’m proud to be the first.”
Murashima also advocated for more LGBTQ representation at the school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, arguing that “Calvin’s heteronormative and relationship-focused culture” makes LGBTQ persons feel excluded. “Not seeing anyone who loves like us makes us feel like we don’t fully belong at Calvin,” Murashima wrote.
Officially, Calvin University and its denomination, the CRC, do not affirm LGBTQ relationships.
Calvin’s Student Code of Conduct prohibits sex outside of marriage. And according to Calvin Assistant Director of Media Relations Matt Kucinski, “The (CRC) and the university hold that human sexuality is a gift from God reserved for expression in the context of marriage between a man and a woman.”
Calvin also is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, which affirms the historic Christian view of marriage in its employment policies and student academic program conduct codes.
Yet, Kucinski added that the CRC teaches that “orientation is not a sin” and that LGBT people “are created in God’s image and . . . should be treated with respect, grace, understanding and love.”
When asked about Murashima’s pro-LGBTQ message in a Calvin publication, Kucinkski responded: “The Chimes is a student publication which allows for the free expression of ideas, including ideas that may challenge the positions of the university. Because of our Christian faith, we do not fear ideas that may challenge biblical norms and Christian understanding.”
Murashima noted in her Chimes article that a survey conducted this fall by Calvin’s Student Senate, found that LGBTQ students comprise 7% of Calvin’s student body. There also is an LGBTQ student group at Calvin called SAGA (Sexuality And Gender Awareness).
Over the years, Calvin also has hosted groups on campus that advocate for LGBTQ rights.
For example, in 2012, Calvin sponsored a sold-out concert in its 5,000-seat Van Noord Arena featuring the group Fun.—an outspoken pro-LGBT band.
According to a Chimes article at the time, Fun. wanted to bring “marriage equality advocacy booths” to the concert, but Calvin opposed them. So instead, the band said they would donate a dollar for every ticket sold to the “futherment of gay rights in America.”
In 2015, Calvin welcomed Fun. frontman, Nate Ruess, back to campus for a solo performance.
A CRC church located just four miles from campus is also pushing the envelope when it comes to LGBTQ rights, as was noted in another recent article in The Chimes. Over the summer, Neland Avenue Christian Reformed Church, appointed a woman who’s in a same-sex marriage to serve as a deacon.
In a letter to congregants, the Neland Avenue CRC council denied that the appointment meant that the church officially affirms same-sex marriage. Instead, the council said the congregation is split on the issue and expressed hope that the church and its denomination could manage their differences.
Most of the comments posted to Murashima’s article expressed support for her decision to openly identify as gay.
“Thank you Claire for your courage and leadership! It gives me hope that your example will help change the CRC official position on homosexuality,” wrote someone named Jane Vander Meer.
Natasha Rulason wrote, “Thank you for your voice; it is so valid and so needed.” And Linda Naranjo-Huebl wrote, “What gracious courage, Claire! . . . May your truth go forth into the world and bear good fruit, bringing the light and love of God to dark places.”
However, a minority of others lamented that Christians were supporting something the Bible calls sin.
“So are none of the commenters grieved that a Christian university is now OK with people publicly identifying themselves by their sins, or are those comments just not being posted?” wrote Cheryl M. “This is a very sad look at where Calvin is today.”’https://julieroys.com/student-president-calvin-gay/?mc_cid=65c6ac5695&mc_eid=b13d34ad49
Genesis 1:21a “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly…”
‘Ask any scientist and he’ll tell you that blades designed to operate in fluids, like air or water, are best designed to have smooth edges. It only makes sense that a smooth leading edge is more efficient.
That’s why, when a biologist noticed bumps on the front edge of a model of a humpback whale fin, he knew it had to be wrong. With some study, he discovered that the model was indeed accurate. The bumps are called tubercles. Testing has shown that the bumps result in an almost ten percent increase in the lift of a fin or blade. It decreases the drag of a blade or fin by one-third. In fact, one scientist concluded that the design is much better than “what [our] systems can accomplish.” Inspired, scientists investigated whether similar tubercles could increase the efficiency of manmade blades such as those used on wind turbines. You may also find tubercles on helicopter blades and fan blades, as well.
While science can discover the excellency and superiority of God’s design, it cannot learn of His spiritual wisdom by investigating the creation. That is revealed to us in Holy Scripture which tells us that He designed and created the whales as well as planning and carrying out His plan for our salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/our-logic-and-gods-are-not-the-same-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=our-logic-and-gods-are-not-the-same-2&mc_cid=3be6982d27&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
The world detests Christians and Jews and it is openly displayed in the UN and NY under Cuomo. ‘Like Black Lives Matter riots, Muslim mobs don’t spread the virus.
Every year, Shiite Muslims in Flushing, Queens conduct the Arbaeen, a procession in honor of Mohammed’s grandson whose death at the hands of a Sunni caliph marked the pivotal break between Shiites and Sunnis, slapping their faces and chests for their beheaded Imam Hussein.
Queens, once the borough that gave birth to President Trump and David Horowitz, now has a large Muslim population, and the fall processions of wailing crowds are a regular event.
The coronavirus didn’t change that.
In early October 2020, videos show a huge knot of Muslim men packed closely together in circles, not wearing masks or with masks down, chanting and furiously beating their chests in memory of Hussein’s martyrdom. Some are shirtless in the traditional fashion. The slaps are meant to be hard enough to cause real pain and there’s plenty of reddened skin on display.
The Shiite procession marches down Flushing’s Main Street, past rows of Chinese stores without a police officer in sight. The media also doesn’t stop by to document the event.
It’s one of a number of Shiite mass gatherings in New York and New Jersey, including more mourning events for Imam Hussein on Manhattan’s Park Avenue in August, where few of the participants wear masks, and another in Kensington, Brooklyn around the same time.
Unlike the Orthodox Jewish prayers of the High Holy Days and the Sukkot celebrations, these Shiite Muslim gatherings were not written up by the New York Post, the New York Daily News, or the New York Times as a public threat. Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio did not blame Muslims for the spread of the virus or declare a crackdown that would close mosques.
The Ashura Jaloos event took place in late August in the Kensington 11218 zip code which is listed on the “orange zone” on De Blasio’s coronavirus watchlist. The Queens procession took place in another watchlist neighborhood where coronavirus rates have been rising.
At the end of August, Governor Cuomo threatened to crack down on Orthodox Jewish weddings and blamed the “Jewish community” and the “Catholic community” for spreading the coronavirus, but made no mention of any action against Muslim events like the one in Manhattan that had taken place a few days before his threats against Orthodox Jews.
On October 4th, the Queens procession took place. A day later, Cuomo held his infamous antisemitic press conference in which he threatened, “I have to say to the Orthodox community tomorrow, ‘If you’re not willing to live with these rules, then I’m going to close the synagogues.’”
To bolster his argument that Chassidic Jews were to blame for the spread of the virus, Cuomo used a photo of a funeral from 2006. Once again, he made no reference to Muslim mass gatherings taking place even right before the release of the new data and his press conference.
The media widely and wrongly claimed that the outbreaks were only taking place in zip codes with large Orthodox Jewish communities. This was false, especially when it came to Queens.
There are plenty of mosques to be found in the targeted zip codes in Brooklyn and Queens, in the red, the orange, and the yellow areas, on De Blasio’s watchlist. Some are quite large and in the red zone, but Orthodox Jews made a good target. Muslims make a politically incorrect one.
No Democrat would be caught dead threatening Muslims or shutting down mosques.
And the same papers that scold, sneer, and mock at men in fur hats would never dream of ridiculing shirtless Muslim men slapping their chests in public. That would be racist.
Like the Black Lives Matter riots and the Sharpton 50,000 rally in Washington D.C., Islamic religious rituals somehow don’t spread the virus. Not even when they’re taking place in areas on the watchlist. Orthodox Jewish prayers, like Trump rallies, are blamed for spreading it.
The same hypocritical doublethink extended not only to the rituals, but to the reactions.
When a group of Chassidic Jews protested the discriminatory restrictions by Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio, by burning masks and waving Trump flags, the media was furious.
“Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jews burn masks in violent protests as New York cracks down on rising cases,” a Washington Post headline blared. That’s the same paper which has repeatedly described Black Lives Matter riots that wrecked entire cities as being “mostly peaceful”.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who had falsely claimed that Antifa violence was a myth, and expressed support for Black Lives Matter, despite the repeated riots, demanded that, “those responsible must be held to account for such violence” and expressed support for Cuomo’s crackdown.
Nadler also tweeted a petition of support for Cuomo and De Blasio’s crackdown on Jews from “300 Rabbis” representing something called the New York Jewish Agenda which had been created earlier this year to fight for “social justice.”
The letter was headed by Sharon Kleinbaum of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, a gay temple, much of whose membership defected when it decided to pray for Hamas terrorists.
“Recent events have demonstrated that CBST is far more committed to a progressive political agenda than to the Jewish people,” Bryan Bridges, a former board member, wrote. “I couldn’t imagine raising a child in this congregation, and have that child hear, just before we recite Kaddish, the names of people who are trying to kill her grandparents.”
But, to give Sharon Kleinbaum credit, she doesn’t limit her antisemitism to Jews in Israel.
Kleinbaum supported providing space to Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, but is quite happy to see apartheid implemented by her Democrat political allies against Orthodox Jews in America.
The differing treatment meted out to Orthodox Jewish and Shiite Muslim religious gatherings is a troubling demonstration of how antisemitism is baked into the intersectionality of the Left.
It’s not about Israel. And it never was.
Pierre Leroux, who coined the term ‘Socialism’, wrote, “Every government having regard to good morals ought to repress the Jews”. This was a century before the rebirth of the modern State of Israel. It wasn’t Zionism that the founder of Socialism was objecting to, but Judaism.
Is it any wonder that Leroux’s socialist successors like Bill de Blasio are taking him at his word?
There is no systemic racism in America. But there’s no question that when you look at the very different treatment for Black Lives Matter rallies, Shiite Muslim gatherings, and Orthodox Jewish events, that systemic antisemitism is alive and well. Especially among New York Democrats.
“My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed,” Bill de Blasio had tweeted in April.
There was no such warning for Muslims who, unlike the Chassidic Jews of Brooklyn, were not harassed or threatened in any way. They went on conducting Islamic events with no interference. The New York Post did not spy on their weddings, the New York Daily News did not ridicule their religion, and the mayor and governor did not threaten to come after them.
Cuomo threatened to close synagogues. He did not threaten to close mosques. Nor did he display any pictures, like the one above, of mass Muslim religious gatherings. Instead, he found a photo of a Jewish funeral from 2006 to suggest that Jews were spreading the coronavirus.
Systemic racism is a lie. Systemic antisemitism is real. Just ask Cuomo.’https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/10/while-cuomo-targets-orthodox-jews-muslim-mass-gatherings-go-on?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the_2020_10_15_jihad_watch_daily_digest&utm_term=2020-10-15
‘I don’t know if you see this above sign in your area, but it’s everywhere in coastal cities of the Western United States. In Berkeley and adjacent cities, it’s been at about every house or yard for a few years. Here in Oregon, I saw one on our street in our neighborhood too. I picked this version as an example, because the one I saw started with “Science Is Real.” They’re called “Values Signs,” to promote so-called leftist “values.”
The list is a mixed bag of bromides that read like a religious creed, starting with “we believe.” Leftists treat it like a creed, including a punishment or shunning of those who violate the precepts. An irony of “we believe science is real” is how science has anything to do with belief. If it is real, you know it, not believe it, don’t you? So, in essence the values sign is a doctrinal statement like a church would produce.
The consequences for breaking these decrees are severe in present society. They say, to them kindness is everything. No way. These are some of the most bitter, angry, unkind people I’ve ever met, and it’s been very consistent. I’ve never met people who are so unfriendly, distant, and irritated. Rarely do people with this sign in their yard show kindness. They are plain mean in almost every instance. They are “kind” only if you accept all their list with their definitions with exuberance. What I’m saying is that these are ultimate hypocrites with their standards like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day.
Through the sign, its proponents proclaim their own kindness, their own righteousness in essence, that they “believe” all these things, and I’ve never seen the righteousness lived or the beliefs followed. The sign acts as “virtue signaling,” a modern way to stand on the street corner and beat on their chest to be seen of others. It also functions at accosting the people reading it, their chosen targets of these epithets. It warns away those who disagree that they are not welcome. Stay away. Don’t talk to me.
I can’t cover every point in one post, but they say, science is real. The postmodernism that buttresses the left doesn’t rely on science. According to postmodernism, which includes critical theory, science arrives at its conclusions through the social forces of power and oppression. The left doesn’t care about science. It disregards biological sex, except when it’s convenient. It ignores the evidence of life in the mother’s womb, seen through the ultrasound and surgery on the unborn baby in the uterus. It avoids the fossil record with its evidence of kinds and no transitional forms. It promotes psychological theories like they are science, which are overturned multiple times in a matter of years. If the scientific definition of a pandemic is 1-3 percent deaths in the country, Covid-19 isn’t a pandemic with its .06% deaths, even counting every death with the virus, not because of the virus alone. According to the CDC, only 6% of Covid-19 deaths don’t involve comorbidities, that is, other causes besides Covid-19.
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to an atheist at his stamp shop, who said he was scientific, so he couldn’t believe the Bible. Among other points in that conversation, I advocated Adam Smith and his Wealth of Nations as science, and he scoffed that economics wasn’t a science, even though economics uses the scientific method to explain economic behavior. The Bible makes economic statements as fact, such as “the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7). This is economic and this is science. Sure, science is real, but not the so-called science of the virtue signaler. When he says “science is real,” he means that God and the Bible are not.
Do black lives matter? Yes. I haven’t heard of a poll that asked Americans if black lives mattered to them, but I’m guessing that if that poll were done, it would be something close to 99% plus of white Americans would say, “Yes, black lives matter.” All black lives matter, not just the ones killed by white police officers. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the three words, black lives matter, mean that black lives matter. BLM is just a political tool. It’s not saving black lives. It’s killing black lives faster than if it did not exist. And that is scientific, if science were real. But again, they’re not interested in actual science.
They say, no human is illegal, because that is their stand in support of illegal aliens, the legal terminology to refer to a person in the United States who is breaking federal immigration laws. “Illegal” means “unlawful” or “criminal.” The non-United States citizen is a criminal or an illegal. The leftist platitude advocates open borders, the elimination of nations, and general lawlessness. It stands for the destruction of the United States.
Do women possess human rights? Yes. Rights apply to every human being. They come from God. A purpose of government is to protect the rights of human beings. Rights are liberties. Every human being is born with certain rights, that among these are life, liberty, and property. The point of saying that women’s rights are human rights is to eliminate distinctions between men and women. Rather than giving women equal opportunity, the goal of this feminist ideal is equal outcome. It promotes women in positions of authority against natural law. If rights come from God and God requires men in authority, then it isn’t a right for women to be in authority. The leftist adage especially emphasizes a woman’s “reproductive rights,” where she is given the choice to end an unwanted pregnancy with abortion. The man has no say in the life or death of his child.
If sex is a social construct, then isn’t a woman’s right also a violation of human rights? This was the point that J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter author, was attempting to make according to classic feminism, when she was canceled for her insensitivity to transgenders. She made the controversial following statement earlier this year: “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.” I’m just saying that women’s rights can’t be human rights if there is no way to distinguish between men and women.
“Love is love” relates obviously to same-sex marriage. However, again how can there be same sex if sex is a social construct? Love can’t even be love, because love must mean whatever someone wants it to mean. This is the latest iteration of the world for the left’s value sign owner. Can he/she/it even claim the sign as his/her/its property? Sign person didn’t build it. Sign person doesn’t own it. And if it causes me psychological harm, then I’m entitled to destroy it, or at least sue for psychological damages, as a means of saving my life.
A world so lacking in certainty is left to proclaim inane statements like “love is love,” defining a word with the same word. Jerry Seinfeld makes light of this inanity in a comedic bit, when he says:
People like to say those things. “It is what it is.” You see, if you repeat a word twice in a sentence, you can say that with a lot of confidence. “Business is business.” “Rules are rules.” “Deal’s a deal.” “When we go in there, as long as we know what’s what and who’s who, whatever happens, happens, and it is what it is.”
People laugh, but they’re now laughing at themselves. If it’s funny though, then it’s funny, even if it’s you that’s you who’s a joke.
“Kindness is everything” comes from the most intolerant generation in the history of human kind. They invented ghosting their parents. They don’t want to be challenged for anything they say or do. They want total tolerance. This is the “kindness” of which they speak. They don’t mean, be kind to you. They mean being kind to them, tolerating them, is everything.
The Apostle Paul writes that love “is kind,” but he also writes that love “rejoiceth not in iniquity.” John writes in 2 John 1:6, “This is love, that we walk after his commandments.” When 1 Corinthians 13 says, “love is kind,” the Greek word for “kind” is chretos, which occurs seven times in the New Testament. The word pertains to moral goodness and in Romans 2:4, it is translated “goodness,” as in “the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.” True kindness is doing what is absolute best for another person, like God does for us. That would mean rejecting the values of the leftist value sign, which contradicts the goodness of God, the holy, moral nature of the Good God.’https://kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com/
This China virus is just another tool of the Marxist Leftist Lovies for their totalitarian takeover. According to these people one may do many things BUT no church meetings! Hmm, does that remind you of Communism or a Muslim governed nation?
The climate scammers are NOT out to save the planet upon which we live but they are out for you! Their whole desire is to to own you completely.
Here is a young man willing to tell the truth on the climate.
Numbers 32:23 ..behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
‘Growing up in church, you hear the phrase “your sin will find you out” a lot. As a kid, it’s a little scary, because when you slip up, you know the person saying it means “Confess now, the hammer is going to come down on you sooner or later.” 
In my short life, I’ve seen the sin of a lot of pastors, leaders, teachers, youth pastors, volunteers come into the light, only to be quickly hidden away.
Rape. Molestation. Beatings. Racism. Financial impropriety. But, the scary thing is – the proverbial hammer rarely comes down on them. While there is swift punishment and rejection for congregants who dare go to the movies, say a bad word, get tattoos, or have a glass of wine – the leaders of those same congregations seem like they can get away with murder.
Let’s stop that now. Let’s aim that commonly used phrase right back at the men who spew it as a threat from their pulpit often. Let’s remind the abusers that THEIR sin will find them out. Their evil WILL not be swept under the rug any longer. Let’s reclaim the churches. The schools. The programs. Let’s hold people accountable for hurting the vulnerable in places where they should be safest. Your sin will find you out.’https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/
