9-YEARS OF DYSFUNCTIONAL U.S. CONGRESS

9-YEARS OF DYSFUNCTIONAL U.S. CONGRESS
Tea Party’s Continued Sabotage.

The Tea Party has been bull-dogmatic, contrary and capricious. Its handful of Senators and 20+ Representatives continue to delay confirmations, block legislation, and White House administration. It has had over 90 months of prior practice. With this third and more polarized Congress than ever in 2017 the Tea Party movement again holds the balance of power.

Often on House sit-down strikes in the past, its members had refused to vote. It had regularly killed budgets, aggravated the deficit, and all but paralyzed White House administration.

Is it trying to create another revolution? Have its members ever pondered the ramifications of their Oath of Office? Their uncharitable, but pompous belligerence is said to be in the name of freedom and the right to rebel. This is no more democracy than the French Revolution produced in 1798. Is America going backwards into a more primitive stage?

Tea Party hostility and animosity insanely routes any good Speaker and leads to stalemates and lame duck presidents who ineffectively rule by decree. Its dishonesty is manifest in its nine year campaign to block the previous White House.

Its disaffection has chosen another Commander in Chief, but this time a Republican, under which umbrella the Tea Party ironically claims affiliation. The last eight years of uncurbed deficit brought the loss of national credit rating by Moody’s, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The same period brought stagnancy of growth and a president ruling by executive order rather than through Congress. A totally frustrated Speaker of the House inevitably made his exit.

A good many Tea Party rebels owe allegiance to the Black Book they often read. Would it not be untimely for them to read again the sobering exhortation of their hero? “If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”

Is there a place for perpetual malice in the Tea Party’s honorable members as endemic malignity weakens the nation? Its fractiousness feeds media madness to the great consternation of sane American citizenry.

Proverbs 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives…

HOW SAINTS READ THE BIBLE. (5)
There are multitudes who read the Bible for various motives. Some even think that of itself the practice of devotional reading gives all sorts of divine benefits.

Many presume that adopting its positivist philosophy equates to faith, but the artifice of wearing a smile and voicing optimistic sentiments do little to camouflage such pretence, despite the peer pressure to do so. In fact the large majority who read the Scripture only make token gesture effort to search the WORD, because they have not the Spirit within.

Excuses by half hearted readers.
1) EXCUSE: I do not want to be tied down. If I have time I will look at the Bible today.
a. ANSWER: This attitude belongs to a religious goat dependent upon his self-will.
b. ANSWER:A sheep (saint) has an irrepressible thirst for the Word which cannot be repressed. The goat is at ease and reads only what is convenient.

2)EXCUSE: ‘I don’t always feel like reading the Bible if I am having a bad day.
a. ANSWER: Emotions matter to the goat, but the sheep is another creature and will not be deterred.

FAITHLESS CHURCH OF THE LAST DAYS

WESTERN CHURCH REJECTS FAITH BY GRACE?
Of the world’s 2,800 denominations (Barratt 1970) there are five main segments in the Christendom’s churches:

1. The sacramental church Christians, captives of tradition;
2. The liberal church Christians serving critical intellectualism;
3. The moral-majority church Christians addicted to a moralizing agenda
4. The conservative church Christians often evangelical and Conservative
5. The separatist fringe-dwelling church Christians claiming sectarian uniqueness

The universal faith of the religious Christian is often misplaced. Freewill faith belongs to humanist voluntarism, espoused by Origen at first, then more radically by Pelagius, his successor.

After 3rd C Origen self-will faith was echoed by Constantine’s 4th C Church of Rome; the Renaissance; the 18th C Enlightenment and finally by 19th C New England Theology evangelicals. The 18th C positivist philosophy which viewed man as basically good, betrayed the New Testament truth of his evil heart, darkened conscience, deceitful motives and wayward will, which is captive to original sin.

Since 1846 the USA evangelicals have rejected the Reformation’s righteousness of faith: a faith given by grace to the wholehearted seeker. Instead they claimed man is able by innate self-faith to access God’s grace under the sound of the Gospel preacher. The preceding saints’ intercessory prayer gatherings that would empower such preaching were overlooked and the evangelist became the chief catalyst. This new concept was built on the false premise that a measure of grace and faith is universally resident in man from the image of God he bears. Thus his assumed ability to understand, and seek the Lord becomes active in the presence of preaching. Yet, hinged alone on the vehicle of preaching the new genre of fundamental evangels unwittingly compromised the New Testament. The prophets and the apostles said that no one naturally understands the preaching of the Word, nor wants to seek Christ . (1 Corinthians 1:21; Romans 3:11; 1 Corinthians 2:13-14.)

Automated, mechanical evangelism soon abandoned the old-time weekly intercessors’ meeting and in its humanistic flurry of extemporary bombast it persuaded men to be converts of the church, but not of Christ.
Ditching original sin and replacing it with an unsullied image of God within man can never do more than sow tares in the harvest field of the world that once received the good seed of the Sower.

The Bible doctrine of faith through grace was inverted so that human self-willed faith became the key to conversion and the phenomenal growth of church empires in the USA. This easy-religion of stage produced sensationalism wowed the American populace as it tried to simulate a third Great Awakening. But it has constantly lacked the spirit of prayer, so essential to any awakening of the lost and the arresting power of the Spirit so paramount before conversion.

Oratorical persuasion of itself is a poor substitute. This new genre featured Billy Sunday, who won converts by a handshake at the end of his tent meetings. Also the likes of 19th C Dwight L Moody and Reuben A Torrey, mechanized automated conversion of the masses and devised modern methods of prayer to GET WHAT WAS DESIRED FROM GOD. The most famous fetish (still in vogue today) was to repeat the rote ‘Sinner’s Prayer’ for immediate salvation based on Romans 10:9 and 10:13 twisted from their context.

FAITHLESS CHURCH OF THE LAST DAYS

EXPOSING CHURCH MYTHS WITH BIBLE TRUTHS. (1)

MYTH: ORIGINAL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Adam fell from ‘a righteous state’ when he sinned.

1. THE TRUTH: Though Adam’s succumbing to the wiles of a woman provoked God’s endemic curse on mankind and the creation, nowhere in either Testament is it described as a “fall”. He succumbed to Eve and Satan’s temptation to reject God’s offer of eternal life. But he did not FALL from righteousness, but rejected the righteousness of faith.

2. THE TRUTH: Adam was created in a state of innocence without virtue or vice.

MYTH: ADAM MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD was holy and righteous.

3. THE TRUTH Adam had neither original righteousness nor the INDWELLING Spirit of holiness and righteousness. God however, was WITH him until he was exiled from His presence. God was WITH Israel of the Exodus, but His Spirit only WITHIN Moses, Joshua and Caleb. Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah, and Abram were some of the few who not only walked with God in primordial time, but within whom the Spirit of God dwelled by grace

4. THE TRUTH: God is tripartite and Adam was created uniquely as a tripartite being. God is triune:- the Father, the Word (The Son), and the Spirit (1 John 5:7) and He said, “Let us make man in our own image.” Thus Adam had a threefold existence but is one being: body, soul, and spirit and he also reflects each decision and action within himself. He confers within himself, his sense of humour enables him to laugh at himself and at others. He intellectualizes with himself and then takes rational action. These imprints of God’s image are over and above the basic instinctive appetites and senses, and they are unique to humans in the animal kingdom.

5. THE TRUTH: Adam was made a terrestrial creature from the earth itself, but unlike all other creatures he possessed more than animal instincts, appetites, and senses. He had a plurality of being which was exceptional among creatures.

6. THE TRUTH: God wanted fellowship with Adam, but he needed more than a state of innocence wherein he was able to hear God’s instructions. Fellowship is not a one sided affair. Thus the Lord placed the regenerating fruit of the tree-of-life should he desire to enter into fellowship with his Lord and Master. But alas he conspired instead with his wife to sample the KNOWLEDGE of the gods and the ethereal powers from the ‘prince and power of the air,’ who is the ‘god’ of this world.

7. THE TRUTH: The doctrine of Adam’s original righteousness was hatched by the emerging Church of Rome in the 3rd century at the time of building the first church and the first priest was ordained. This myth with other pagan beliefs of Rome has been perpetuated down through the ages.

8. THE TRUTH: When Emperor Constantine’s ‘Church of Rome was finally inaugurated about 311 AD the mythical ‘water of regeneration’ in his compulsory mass baptisms were said to remove ‘original sin’ and restore ‘original righteousness’ to the baptized. This myth has been perpetuated down through the millennia to present day Christendom.

9. THE TRUTH: ADAM.HEARD GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS? Though God talked to Adam this did not equate to righteousness. Though Adam was at fist innocent without sin his innocence was not righteousness. God talked to unrighteous prophets and false prophets, Balaam the soothsayer being one example.God can and will use what and whom he will, even the unrighteous Balaam, just as he used the early Twelve disciples of Christ before they were converted on the first day of the resurrection. Judas Iscariot heard Jesus pair him with a fellow disciple to go as a twosome to preach, heal, and deliver. Yet borrowing the power of the NAME neither justified him or made him righteous. God was with him for a season, then later left him to Satan’s devices.

HOW SAINTS READ THE BIBLE (4)

Many saints today go hungry during their daily ‘Quiet Time’.

1) STARVATION RATIONS. They read the Word, but to little profit because they will not meditate upon what they read. Is it because they do not have the time? No! It is how they subordinate the time slot to their own prepared agenda.

2)a. ARE YOU A MARY OR A MARTHA? Which is more important: the word volume read, or hearing the voice of Him ‘the Word’ in the words? Which is paramount: covering the set chapter/s, or unhurriedly expecting the inner ‘Interpreter’s voice?

b. WAITING TO BE SERVED The saints who wait patiently at His table will certainly be fed with more than crumbs that are under the table. When such a reader readily pauses for the inner Teacher’s voice, sacrificing his own preconceived plan he becomes known to God as a WATCHER or WAITER.
Why eat only crumbs?

c. MARTHA SYNDROME Other believers fill their day’s timetable scheduling a small slot to Scripture in which time is of the essence. But often their priorities are amiss when they allow none for uninterrupted seclusion.

d. IS YOUR BUSINESS BUSY-NESS? Today’s reader mistakenly thinks only in goal completion. Targets are a good idea, but haste and clock watching are impediments to the saint.

e. DISTRACTIONS are common, more so today surrounded by technological devices galore. It takes effort to find space and privacy from the hubbub of the maddening crowd encroaching on the believers’ privacy. It also takes determination, perseverance and outright resistance to peer group and family pressured demands. It may also mean occasional sacrifice and self denial of food, sleep, and social media addiction.

BIBLE READERS’ INDIGESTION (4)

HOW SAINTS READ THE BIBLE (3)

1. Devotional reading on the run.
2. Rushed reading to cover a set number of chapters.
3. Pastor’s regimented reading the whole Bible in a year.
4. Allotting a time limit for reading
5. Momentarily glimpsing Bible verses in transit
6. Dipping into a promise box or randomly opening the Word for chance blessing.
7. Reading a daily devotional supplied by the church

REASONS FOR ALL SEVEN ON THE LIST.
1) ‘More haste less speed’ is the old proverb to remember.

2) Most of the listed actions are to save time for other more important priorities like eating, sleeping etc. The Bible says ‘it is vain to sit up late and rise up early.’ An hour before midnight is worth two hours after it. Sitting up late for leisure, work or pleasure will never allow meditation to him who has to rise early for work.

3) Short cuts are made for various reasons, but most are time saving factors for those who put Bible Reading on a low priority. Another reason is the reader himself does not understand much of the Bible except for historical narratives, as he has no indwelling ‘Interpreter’. He relies solely on his own knowledge and appreciation of literature. As such much of Scripture seems a mysterious enigma. As a result he wants to read the least amount possible, hoping that he will still acquire some credits of grace in the process.

4) Some think there is virtue in covering the Bible within one year. Others think that they will increase their faith if they force themselves to keep such a routine. Speedily accomplishing this goal may give comforting reassurance that they are pleasing God, but it is often only token gesture treatment of sacred write which impedes both meditation and intelligent cognizance of context.

5) The saints (sheep) do not need to be lectured, or compelled to follow a forced program of reading. They do not require forced feeding as their insatiable thirst for biblical milk, and hunger for the biblical meat will never cease. Down periods of temporary abstinence can cause dehydration and emaciation, but like the inner fire that burns low at this time “smoking flax he will not quench and a bruised read he will not break.”

Dangers to Bible Reading Believers.
1. Beware of using your own ideology learned from your culture, life’s experiences, and your ingrained bias adopted from eminent speakers from your own church.

2. Remember the Bible never contradicts itself
(a) Scripture in a number of places uses antinomy of two opposing truths next to each other which seem to contradict each other, and human logic will never fully understand them. If it did then salvation would be logical. It is spiritual and only the spiritual can understand. Understanding does not come from the human mind but from the Holy Spirit. Only those possessing Him within will gain spiritual discernment. (1 Cor. 2)

(b) It is not accessible from mere human analysis, human effort.
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom…but God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit…now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” (1st Corinthians 2:7-14.)

(c). Two opposite Bible doctrines must not make you reject one for the other.

3. Once you do this your mind is closed and then you use your own ideology as the interpreting filter and arbiter of truth. Search the scriptures, but never graduate as a student of the Word.

4. The Age of Enlightenment raised the human mind to be god in theology. This caused 2,000+ Christian sects and denominations to spawn in the 19th Century.

5. The disastrous effects led to the humanizing of Bible believing churches with the demise of intercessory prayer gatherings, and radical conversions now classed as old fashioned and belonging to another era.

6. The roots of today’s apostasy:
(a). 18th C Higher Bible criticism
(b) textual criticism
(c). new inferior Bible versions based on Westcott and Hort’s 19th C revised Greek Text rejected that of Erasmus (1519) and the Received Text of Stephanus
(d). The anti-Reformation tendency of Protestants rejected the 16th & 17th C English Bibles under the pretext of modernizing English.
(e). Rationalism began to doubt the content and accuracy of Scripture.
(f). As Eve in Eden listened to Satan’s same ploy to doubt what God had said so the church was tempted to do likewise.
(g). The 19th C pulpit plague of private interpretation produced weird sensationalist evangelism by stage performers with the gift of the gab speaking extemporarily and pandering to emotionalism
(h). Its easy-religion made salvation a common consumer package for the masses.
(i). Among the moral majority the preacher became a law unto himself using his liberty for license in the evangelical and fundamental wings.
(j). Early 20th C bibliolatry idolized certain words, phrases and verses of holy writ to promote and justify any new fangled doctrine in the personality cults of the mega church movement that spread from the USA
(k). The guru in the pulpit became more important than the whole counsel of the Scripture.

7. Amid an era of doubting Scripture’s meaning believers become confused.

8. Hundreds of new, but erroneous modern translations amplify the confusion and believers increasingly trust the preacher, instead of the Holy Spirit to interpret the Scriptures.

1 John 2:27 KJV
“But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.”

BEST BIBLE READING HABITS. (1 of 5)

Habits to Avoid When Reading the Bible.(1 of 5)
The combined advice of the prophets, the apostles, and Jesus suggest that it is counter-productive to the spirit of holy writ to use reason as the key to understanding. Thus, their joint counsel warns the reader to avoid:-
1. Intellectual analyses
2. Philosophical analyses
3. Interpreting the Word through reason, syllogism, induction, and deduction,
4. Comparing it to your own experience
5. Interpreting the Bible using one or two favourite Bible phrases, as the arbiters of all other truths thus pragmatically overriding what the whole counsel of Scripture declares on a given doctrine. Making one verse to be a corrector of other related verses is not only flawed pragmatism but also giving excessive reverence to one above another part of God’s inspired Word. This habit is called bibliolatry and popularly used by cults and sects in Christendom.
6. Do not use your own understanding
7. Do not look for the kernel of truth to cast aside lesser truth.

THE MYSTERIOUS POWER OF PRAYER.

THE MYSTERIOUS POWER OF PRAYER.
It is unfathomable, unstoppable, and a wave that rolls back the tide of evil. Nothing on earth can be compared. Military might is puny by comparison.

Yet it is the most neglected weapon of warfare. The blast is the Holy Ghost needing at least two detonators, but preferably three or more. ‘A 3 fold cord shall not be quickly broken.’

Choose a target permitted by the 20,000 PROMISES OF GOD’S IRREVOCABLE WORD. Each detonator must be single-eyed and joined to the others without wavering.

Rough, smooth, or even broken detonators are OK so long as they have been washed, purged and covered in pure unadulterated blood of the One Lamb.

IS THE REAL ISLAM A RADICAL CHAMELION?

IS THE REAL ISLAM A RADICAL CHAMELION?
1. Saudi Arabia (SA) founded the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) in 1960 through its newfound source of oil wealth.

2. The OIC (now Organization of Islamic Co-operation) has 57 Muslim member nations.

3. The name changes are made to confuse the West, like the scores of Saudi Arabian terror brigades

4. Of the globe’s Muslims about a quarter are Shiite and the rest Sunnite. However, there are other sub sects within these two main branches.

5. The common cause of Islam, from its birth in the 7th C AD, has been progressive world domination

6. The means of conquest has been both covert and overt aggression in a target state.

7. Shia and Sunni will at first work together in terrorist subversion then when the state becomes unstable each will oppose each other in the quest for sole dominance.

8. These tactics are to camouflage and protect the sponsoring Arab state and confuse global observers.

9. Furthermore, state-sponsored terror brigades from Iran, (Shiite) and Saudi Arabia (Sunnite) regularly change names to confuse the West and states next in line to be subverted. Nevertheless, the overall organization of Islamic global terror remains well orchestrated and consistently resilient while befuddled military alliances of the West are deluded.

10. Saudi Arabia and its trillions of petro-dollar wealth subsidize the military march of global terror groups in several continents. It also subsidizes the OIC and its cause in 56 other member nations, especially where Islam has yet to take full dominance. Sweeping south from the Sahara to sub-Saharan Africa is only one of several examples.

11. Since the end of USSR’s iron rule (1990) the Commonwealth Independent States have seen increased Islamic advance filling the vacuum.

12. Islam now controls the mayoral office of Central London City (UK 2016) through its preponderance of Muslim immigrants in the City of London, growing since 1949. In some counties of England Sharia Law prevails, though few in Westminster will admit the fact.

13. Islam’s tentacles of terror have reached Central West Africa and Nigeria’s independence is almost vanquished. Mali, Niger, Chad and much of the sub continent’s northern states fall into the same category. Sixty years of terrorism funded by OPEC oil revenue has advanced its cause exponentially.

WHY ISLAM CAN NEVER BE PEACEFUL.
1. The two main branches inevitably war against each other, the Shiite for a bigger bite of the Islamic pie, and the Sunni in resisting its arch foe. This is the cause of continuous unrest today in Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the central Asian states of the CIS formerly within the Soviet Union.

2. The Arab Spring of 2011 started by the late Yasser Arafat was merely a more overt form of this same conflict between Sunni and Shia factions of Islam. While there are scores of different terror brigades in Syria they only serve one of the two contesting branches of Islam.

3. Apart from the deft name changing of cunningly camouflaged terror brigades their state sponsors from Teheran, Khartoum and Riyadh publically disown them as rogue terrorists. Their petro dollar influence from the East and the political correctness of the West (beholden by its oil dependence) allows the myth that rogue terror brigades are the problem.

The Saudi’s and the Iranians have chameleon appearance of peace-loving ordinary Muslims. Because of Western passivity and the malaise of corruption in the dominant affluent states, Islam is able also to pose as the victim, rather than the warmongering pariah.

THE MYTHICAL INNOCUOUS REFUGEE MIGRANT
1. The refugee is in fact merely a member of the hidden Islamic army base that provides family sustenance to the elite young terrorists being continually trained and groomed for future conflict at home and abroad.

2. Once employed in the West their ability to further fund Islamic advance increases as they remit funds both back home and to the local mosque.

3. Each Muslim will be rewarded in paradise for risking life, possessions and property in migrating to Western nations for the long-term goal of Islamic conquest.

4. Even on the front line of the Arab Spring in Syria Islam commonly uses the family to belie its terrorist activity. Thus the term ‘war refugees’ is a misnomer, and merely part of the shrewd subtlety of Mecca, Riyadh and Teheran.

5. In Aleppo the Arab Spring terrorists purged, exiled, or eliminated the Christian populace and then brought in their own families to support the invading terrorists. The family members were then posed as innocent refugees being killed and maimed by the Syrian state. In truth the state was trying to defend Damascus against the missile attacks from Aleppo.

This has consistently been Islamic propaganda ingenuity to gull the Western media since Kosovo and before, drawing even NATO air forces to fight for Islamic Albanian invading terrorists in Kosovo, Serbia. But the power of prayer prevented the success of the massive bombing raids and Clinton’s Black Hawk squadron. Prayer is always stronger than the military might of any superpower.

6. President Obama (Muslim) of the USA had allowed USAF to become increasingly involved in fighting for one Muslim faction or another in his 8 years of office, bleeding its coffers and dangerously increasing its mega deficit.

7. Changing the demographic strata of a targeted nation is the first part of the conquest. It is ironic that the Arab Spring deceptively sent over a million Muslim dedicated pilgrims to invasively infiltrate Western Europe. These men, women and children were aware that they could die in the process, but would be rewarded in Paradise for their commitment to progressive Islamic world conquest.

The late Yasser Arafat, Iran’s Ayatollah, and the Saudi Arabian King succeeded with their carefully planned ruse hatched conjointly with the Islamic OIC’s 57 member nation states.

Here are the reasons that success was achieved in gulling the host nations with its masquerade.

1. The West’s inability to fathom the real Islamic purpose
2. Ambivalence through political correctness of the West
3. Past dependence on Islamic OPEC oil making it beholden
4. Media over-emphasis on Muslim rights and minority rights
5. Western affluent decadence and its introversion and fearfulness
6. NATO’s folly of accepting the Muslim nation of Turkey (except for a fraction is an Asian nation) into its Treaty organization thereby hamstringing its resistance to Turkeys main role in Islam’s grand invasion of Europe.

7. A dysfunctional UN which has been politicized and ruined by Islam’s vociferous voice against Israel and the Christians, its two main enemies for over 1,300 years. The UN has ceased being an effective voice or restrainer of Muslim atrocities (e.g. Sudan for 50 years) with its own troops even ineffective or compromised.

8. The seven most affluent nations of the West are members of the G7 or Gatt Accord. Seven sovereign state heads often uphold the political-correctness of the UN, G7, and NATO. Thus altogether the seven sovereign state leaders and the other three powers (G7, UN, & NATO) form a ten headed controlling giant which dominates global media of the West.

It is no coincidence that the Arab Spring and the Syrian refugee crisis started in the same year.

POST SCRIPT
The Saudi Bin Laden family business extends to Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The 2001 New York Trade Towers’ attackers were Saudis, including Osama bin Laden. Their Saudi business nets 2 billion dollars a year in Riyadh, being one of the chief participating families in Saudi Arabian state sponsored global terrorism.
