    WHEN CHURCH IS A DISTRACTER. (Pt.2)

Humanistic Versions Of Church Christianity.

Beliefs adopted into churchianity.
1. IMAGE OF GOD in man that is said to have survived Adam’s fall from innocence into sinfulness.

THE TRUTH: it was irreparably marred and distorted when Adam and Eve rejected eternal life from God’s ‘Tree’ of salvation and chose paranormal insight from a taboo branch of knowledge.

2. CONSCIENCE: The surviving light of God’s guidance in human conscience is said to be preserved.

TRUTH: The light of the conscience was also ruined with Adam’s fall, leaving a universal shadow only of morality in the conscience.

    WHAT REMAINS IN THE HUMAN PERSONA OF ADAM’S RACE.

• GOD’S CURSE IN ORIGINAL SIN. As the blight of God’s curse upon Adam’s descendants passed on to the human race by heredity, it left a dysfunctional trilogy of man’s body (degenerating from the womb); his soul (dead in sins and trespasses); and his spirit (his wilful persona).
• HIS WORSHIP. The original worshipping spirit of Adam was tarnished at the fall and left only a spirit prone and curious to search the mysteries of unseen powers above. This worshipful bent of humanity to fathom the divine is of itself neither virtuous, nor spiritual.

• WORSHIP MISUNDERSTOOD . The natural human desire to worship something, someone, or somebody is cunningly exploited by one’s innate wilful ego for self delusion and self justification. It thrives on the religion of the prevailing culture into which it is born. It works contrary to the spirit of truth possessed by the redeemed and is resistant in its blindness to God and Christ in Scripture.

• RELIGION. Self righteous from early infancy, humans are universally prone to self delusion. Acquiring church doctrines tends to garrison the heart against the overtures of God’s Spirit through the Scriptures and Christ’s ambassadors on earth who possess that inner drive to preach the Word. Indulging in religion, ironically buttresses this resistance to Christ and His Word. I.e. knowledge itself, even of Christian religion, usually increases the blinding deceit of the desperately wicked heart, said the prophets of old.

• This natural propensity to worship the unseen divine power is in a Western culture is called ‘Christian’, but not in other cultures with given nomenclatures of atheism, spiritism, animism, Buddhism, etcetera.

• In a Christian culture the bent to worship expresses itself in church attendance, which again is mistaken for the Spirit of God drawing souls to worship God, who are then named ‘Christians’.

• Whether in a Christian culture, or another one, this worship usually leads to the deception of self-justification, based upon indoctrinated knowledge from preachers, who for the vast majority today, are themselves merely self justifying, moralists and possess no gospel of redeeming grace to give to their congregations, but merely the gospel of knowledge, albeit biblical knowledge. As such they are educators, but cannot lift a lost soul blighted with darkness into the glorious light of the gospel of grace. This is notwithstanding their modern altar-mania, decisionism, and self perfect methods of converting those who respond to their emotive appeals and accept an unconditional free after-life eternal insurance package.
• The natural worship of the first man in his innocence, did not lead him to accept God’s offer of eternal life through the Tree provided.

• Eve, the first woman in Eden, found it easier to worship paranormal phenomena and voices of the gods, despite her knowing that God’s words offered her eternal life from the eternal Tree of Life.

• Eve had the knowledge of and the memory of “hearing the Word,” but it did not draw her to God, without faith, a gift of God’s grace to the wholehearted seeker. She forfeited eternal life by choosing more religious knowledge and the lust to dabble in the paranormal. The average church adherent or member does the same and her male counterpart capitulates to the status quo just like Adam.

The Church.
Of today’s 2,800 churches and sects that comprise Christendom many call their own denomination: the ‘True Church’, or the ‘Correct ‘Church’.

Nevertheless, all but a very tiny minority, in Christendom’s 2.5 billion souls, have any idea of biblical regeneration. These, the Bible calls: the remnant. At best the rest merely use biblical vocabulary, clichés, and hackneyed phrases to justify their own doctrines of churchianity.

The word church, comes not from the original Greek manuscripts of the holy Scriptures, but from Constantine’s Latin term (‘ecclesia’) for the first official church of the 4th century, when the new Roman emperor stopped the Empire’s 300 years of incessant persecution of Christians.

Constantine decided to exploit the new religion of the East and use it to gain back control of an empire split between east and west in a long running civil war.

Thus he arranged for an Act of Toleration, and then started his ruthless militant program of nationalizing a beleaguered Christian minority into the Roman religion. He attempted thereby to end the civil war and join the factions into one. He arranged for the Bible to be rewritten into Latin, adding his seven new sacraments into the translation.

The Greek word ‘ekklesia’ (called out to assemble) he translated into ‘ecclesia’, meaning something else completely. The first English New Testament printed omitted the word ‘church’, as did five other modern translations in print.

At the dawn of the 16th C. Englishman William Tyndale dared to translate the Greek original New Testament manuscripts which had come to Europe after the forced exodus of scholars from Constantinople in 1400.

The Vulgate Bible had been the legacy (via Jerome) of Constantine’s 4th century Old Latin New Testament since his fifty new Latin Bibles, were scribed for the inauguration of the empire’s Roman (Catholic) Church around 411 AD.

Therefore, with the combined release of precious koine Greek manuscripts from the east; Gutenberg’s printing press; the restoration and recovery of the original Greek text by Erasmus; and Martin Luther’s Puritan Reformation (1517) the glorious light of the Gospel message began to shine once again in darkened Europe.

So the humanist scholar Erasmus, and the French scholarly publisher Stephanus (Robert Etienne) enabled the early Puritan translators in Switzerland, Germany, France and Britain to accurately publish the Greek text into English, French, and German, without the Church of Rome’s inserts in the Latin Vulgate.

William Tyndale, who printed the first English New Testament in 1526 was martyred at the stake by the infuriated Roman Catholic Church in Europe. They burnt his first edition, and imprisoned and tortured anyone who dared to read or own it. His crime: he had omitted the word church and its 4th C sacraments of Constantine. He was not the only Puritan scholar to be hounded into exile, imprisoned and martyred for promoting the original copy of the New Testament in their native tongue.

WHEN THE CHURCH IS A DISTRACTER. (Intro’.)

WHEN THE CHURCH IS A DISTRACTER.
Introduction
The real church on earth is the invisible body of regenerated believers, called saints, in the New Testament. There are hundreds of denominations who say they are the unique church, or that they alone have the real Christian congregants. The common disease of preachers is sectarianism: not discerning that invisible body that transcends all artificial denominational boundaries.

The falling-away of these last days (Matt.24) has caused multitudinous sheep and shepherds to adopt the worldly trend of goat-filled churches and become sectarian separatists since the 19th C.

These overemphasize their own human visible church and obscure the invisible body of Christ on earth, the sheep of the true flock. Thus they impoverish their walk with the Lord. (Romans.12;; 1st Corinthians 12). Consequently they become a liability to the kingdom, notwithstanding their recruitment of followers. There is no doubt that many have responded to their church and become followers of Christ. But following a doctrine or a method to gain eternal life falls far short of regeneration by faith through grace.

Church expansion under the guise of evangelism requires little more than consistent advertising, and visiting the homes of the community. The birth of new babes in Christ is a different matter and can only take place after travail in the labour ward where brethren meet to wait on God for the lost as the Spirit directs. This fell out of fashion well over a hundred years ago. Merely teaching another soul how to wear a fleece is not the second birth through faith by grace.

WHEN THE CHURCH IS A DISTRACTER. (Intro’.)

BIBLICAL FAITH & REPENTANCE LOST SINCE 19th C.

BIBLICAL REPENTANCE & FAITH LOST IN THE 19th C.
Hebrews 6:1b. “not laying again the foundation of repentance”
“not laying again the foundation of…faith”.
PLAGUE OF AMERICAN NEW ENGLAND THEOLOGY’S LEGACY.
1) The 19th C emergence of new genre evangelism and its sensational new type of preacher quickly introduced a new type of repentance which was said to be merely a ‘change of mind’.

a. It bypassed biblical sorrowful anguish brought by the Spirit through the prayers of the saints
b. It made the godly sorrow Paul wrote of in 2 Corinthians 7 something quickly attained in a moment
c. It conveniently suited the automated mass conversions of Billy Sunday and D. L. Moody
d. Though the preaching took Bible texts it added the psychology of New England’s easy-religion
e. It inadvertently expounded the ‘easy-faith’ concepts of William James, the Father of U.S. Psychology.
f. It violated Paul’s warning, not to lay again an alternative foundation to repentance or faith.
g. However, it appealed to the masses and the media and was mislabelled ‘revival’.
h. It overlooked the difference between awakening and conversion presuming both were the same.
i. The disciples were first awakened by the call to ‘follow,’ but only converted when Jesus resurrected.
j. In the preceding 40 months Jesus said they had little or no faith and did not understand his gospel.
k. Though Jesus gave them his powerful name to use in healing of others they remained sceptics.
l. As awakened and zealous followers who had the Spirit with them they needed the Spirit within them.
m. Like the Exodus Jews who followed the presence of God with them they had no faith as sceptics.
n. Only Joshua and Caleb of 600 thousand soldiers had a different spirit: God’s Holy Spirit.
o. Repentance is not just a change of mind but a gift to wholehearted, earnest seekers like Joshua
p. St. John 20 and Luke 24 tells how the risen Christ turned sorrow into godly repentance and faith
q. The Eleven then had more than ideology, knowledge, or the mere ‘willing suspension of disbelief’.

q. i. They were not told how to say a prayer
q. ii. They were not told how to believe
q. iii. They were not told ‘how to be sure they knew they were on their way to heaven’.
q. iv. As followers, not yet Christians, they had learned that their own faith and willpower had failed.
q. v. They had learned that their own knowledge of the Scriptures had failed
q. vi. They had learned that their own zealous profession of lips had failed
q. vii. They had learned that their own faith and willpower had failed
q. viii. They had learned that their own knowledge and ‘change of mind’ was a fickle failure.
q. ix. They had learned that they did not know how to pray without a different spirit.
q. x. They had learned that their own loyalty was turned to cowardice and denial in a moment.

DOWN THROUGH CHURCH HISTORY until 19th C masquerade by new easy-automatic evangelism, counsellors of seeking respondents always made room for the Spirit to do his peculiar work of conversion, or regeneration, in the lives of seekers. This was so until the wane of the 2nd Great Awakening on both sides of the Atlantic, which had started in 1825 and had been ushered in by a spreading spirit of prayer.

Counselling assurance was not given because a sinner’s prayer was offered. The evangelist/preacher/soul-winner waited for the Lord Jesus to work and convert sorrow into repentance; despair into hope; doubt into faith; and self-condemnation into joyful assurance. They knew that the Lord needed no help to do His peculiar work of grace and regardless of church denomination the inevitable outcome was the result.

Where there is a spirit of prayer and the seeker is wholehearted the inevitable outcomes always occur. They are described in Luke 24; John 20; Acts, and the New Testament Epistles. Awakening is the beginning of the journey, not the end, which only occurs with the illuminating of the awakened into newness of life.

This cannot be simulated by mechanical ideology and persuasive approaches of psychology in which men and women take it upon themselves to convert souls by the methods of easy-religion that has dominated evangelism for over a hundred and fifty years.

Even indoctrinating select verses of Scripture to justify this simulated evangelism produces, for the most part, false converts who are both inured against true evangelism and become its resisting until death, only to discover that they are part of the five foolish virgins whose borrowed oil had been inadequate for meeting the Bridegroom (Christ). When finally they had realized their mistake and were willing to pay the price for their own oil it was too late and they were shut out of the kingdom.

SCRIPTURE: What Jesus said to those followers who presumed that God’s presence with them was enough for eternal life.
• Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
(Matthew 25: 1-12)

• When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luke 13:25-27

• Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
(Matthew 7:22-24)

Biblical knowledge cannot give eternal life anymore than affirmation, lip confession, and the water of the baptism.

CONCLUSION.
“One thing we have learned from history is that we do not learn from history”. Most of the best church members are taught to choose only Scriptures which agree with the preacher’s belief. By pragmatism one scripture is said to supersede another scripture. This is not willing amnesia but bibliolatrous twisting of whatever scripture they want to believe that suits their own false version of Christianity. This is “Ichabod” or the curse of apostasy, making the status quo of Christendom confident of their insight when in fact they are blind and deaf to God’s entreaties from the whole of the Scriptures No part of the New Testament supersedes another part, nor do they contradict one the other if contextual place, time, audience, speaker, background and antinomy is duly considered. Popular literalistic bibliolatry of the right wing moral majority and the hundreds upon hundreds of fringe sects which follow suit conveniently block their ears to the whole counsel of God in the New Testament and exploit that which suits them in their reactionary pragmatic wresting of Scripture to their own destruction.

Popular mass easy-evangelism of the globe for two hundred years has smoothed the dying pillow of the lost with its false hopes, condemned by Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Jesus:-

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. Luke 11:35

BIBLICAL FAITH & REPENTANCE LOST SINCE 19th C.

PAUL’S WARNING TO ALL PREACHERS.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES.
PAUL’S WARNING TO ALL PREACHERS. 2 Corinthians 2:17

This is a warning for the preacher to beware of pragmatically using the Bible as a mere tool for his own doctrinal agenda by introducing philosophy, psychology and the flippant devices of the world. Included by implication is the exhortation against tickling listeners’ ears attempting to make a cong

regation beholden to him by unctuous flattery. Personality preachers play the man with needless commendation to make a congregant a hero and in the process make the person in the pew beholden.

Likewise, a minister’s cunning self-aggrandizement to elevate himself to be something special is to be abhorred. Paul hints at the need for honest exposition rather than topical populist ranting over controversies.

This almost rules out extemporary ranting by the sensationalist preacher. Arousing the senses of the audience to excitement is a sensuous, device to simulate the arousing awakening of the Holy Spirit that has only accompanied the spirit of prayer down through history.
John Caleb

PAUL’S WARNING TO ALL PREACHERS.

THE MIRAGE OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH

THE MIRAGE OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH.
The writer acknowledges the vast difference between the visible earthly church (churches) of man and the invisible body of Christ, the true church comprised of the saints. The latter are those whom God has regenerated by His Spirit at His behest rather than by mere human design and persuasion.

Many are still looking for the true church, as they discover the flaws of each church evaluated. They will never find it, because it does not exist. The word itself is not in the original New Testament (Koine Greek) and at six New Testament English translations omit it altogether.

The American Church poses as the world’s leader in the art of preaching but in essence its extemporary ‘gift of the gab’ and unctuous verbosity does not fool the man of the street. It is not the real thing and the common man knows it.

Its superior psychology of evangelism is merely the closeted use of the agnostic Father of American Psychology, William James. Its abandonment of biblical radical regeneration has been replaced by automatic clerical midwives who usher in thousands upon thousands of still-births each week.

Its Bible has been substituted by William James’ Varieties of Religious Experience (1850). Indeed, experience has become the be-all and the end-all. On the one hand the experience of doctrinal or biblical knowledge is said to automatically gain redemption, while on the other hand popular church indulgence in feverish so-called spiritual phenomena (paranormal) is said to be the best experience.

The American church has learned well the pagan devices of humanistic crowd control and professes to have invented them.

From 1814 America’s Age of Evangelism spread its superior message of easy-religion all over the world for the next hundred years. By the 20th century it had become a pandemic.

American super-spiritual methods of quick mass conversions are not only boringly repetitive, but merely sound and fury without the genuine fire that only the abandoned spirit of prayer can bring. But is it based on its superior gift of the gab and its unctuous disease of verbosity?

Is its barrage of ideology drawing upon mere biblical knowledge from the Tree of Knowledge or do its homilies draw upon the Tree of Calvary? Humanism now possesses its pulpits said to be superior to the blight of sacramentalism. Affirmation, lip profession has come to stay with the aid of fanatical bibliolatry that exploits chosen Scriptural extracts twisted from context and made interpretive arbiters of God’s Word. No wonder there were 2,800 Church denominations by 1970 (Barrett’s World Christian Encyclopaedia). Is it any wonder that reactionary pragmatism has become the common place tool of church pulpits?

THE MIRAGE OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH

THE FORGOTTEN SPIRIT OF PRAYER

THE SPIRIT-OF-PRAYER FORGOTTEN 150 YRS AGO
Prayer is the greatest asset of any church. Until it is allowed, with the return of assembled free-prayer opportunities in our buildings, this is unlikely to occur. I am not talking about stilted, limited list sentence prayer cells allotted minimum time at the end of a needless 4th sermon/Bible Study for the week.

I am not talking about Rubin Torrey’s model of controlling the pews widely adopted by Protestant Bible-believing clergy which ousted the old full congregational prayer meeting dedicated to intercession for the lost.

Though pastors claim to be focused on agenda, timetable, and security risks, the truth is that these are mere excuses to prevent intercession by the saints. The pastor must be elevated to the status of guru and holy man of prayer, hence the arrival of the super-pastor and his personality cult of admirers (especially one gender) whose ears are regularly tickled as the pastor ingratiates himself to make his loyalists dependent upon his flattery.

The replacement of prayer by its substitute: unctuous utterances of the super-hero are to stop outspoken individualism among the pews and to reign in freedom of speech.

The cost over the last 150 years has been to quench any possibility of awakening the lost or illuminating the awakened. (Luke 24) Easy free religion has thrived in this climate in which conversion is now synonymous with affirmation, acknowledgment of lisping lips.

In the meantime we ‘beat the air’ with sound and fury accomplishing little more than the farmer watering barren ground, as hardened as the pathway in the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13). This is great opportunity for the enemy to sow his seed during the night. That same false gospel thrives on false hope which abounds galore among the goats filling the pews of the average church.

The volume of our preaching is often so loud that even God cannot hear it, let alone the goats and sheep of the flock.

THE FORGOTTEN SPIRIT OF PRAYER

DECLINE OF NORTH ATLANTIC CHRISTIANS ( 2)

DECLINE OF NORTH ATLANTIC CHRISTIANS (Part 2)
The paucity of Western Bible believing assemblies is their ignorance of the needed spirit of prayer.
1. Lost in the 19th C to automatic easy religionists of New England Theology.
2. Lost to American automatic easy conversion: i.e. come and get it, it’s free, and one does not need to seek it before hand with all the heart.
a. Its costless, cross-less and unconditional eternal life.
b. All you have to do is believe the printed verses shown and salvation can be had without any awareness of it.
3. WHY LOST? Commonly believed by clergy: freewill religion of the mind ideology is all that matters. Affirmation, lip profession, and some blessed water: presto! Acknowledgement is enough.
a. If men have the ability to access eternal life by their own will and mental knowledge of the printed ink there is no need for awakening grace. So why renew the abandoned church prayer meetings of the brethren to pray for same.
b. If repentance is merely a change of mind men do not need to be granted the gift of repentance, so why pray for awakening through grace.
c. If universal measure of grace and faith enables anyone, anywhere, anyhow to access God through his own faith then preaching is alone the need. Just print and speak the KNOWLEDGE of the printed ink it is enough.
d. If the preacher’s assurance through counsel is all that is required then mass conversions can happen without the awakening grace.

The weekly intercessory input of the brethren lost.
Without the free opportunity to publicly assemble and intercede for the lost the spirit of prayer is both quenched and resisted. No amount of preaching and/or evangelism can compensate. While it is unchallengeable that (1 Cor.1:21) God has chosen the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe,” that truth cannot stand alone without its nexus, the spirit of prayer described by Paul.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why doth he yet hope for?
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

1 Corinthians.1.24-25
Preaching without the Spirit of Prayer is mere ideology.
1. It can inspire the orator and the admiring loyalists but it cannot inspire hope that saves and regenerates the hearer.
2. Preaching without its nexus is like a cloud without water; a smoking flax smoke, but no fire;

Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

(Romans 8:26-27)

INDOCTRINATION IS PROXY REGENERATION
1. With all bibliolatry of the 19th C, one or two verses are pragmatically selected to use them as an arbiter to interpret the rest of the Bible. For example Romans 10:9 has become a magical fetish for quick, easy, unconditional salvation. It is twisted away from context and the overall total teachings of Paul in the rest of his epistle.

2. The method of bibliolatry is excessive reverence for a select phrase, verse, or passage to interpret all other related Scripture and pragmatically dispose of any counter balance. This rationale created over 2,000 new Christian denominations in the 19th C. Literalist and fundamental bibliolatry gave unprecedented rise to divisions within Christendom. Those divisions were based upon purist separatism and the worst form of sectarianism that continues to polarize and fracture the community of the saints.

3. The tragic irony was the further splits from the newly formed denomination leading in the end to many saints opting out of church attendance altogether as the disease of judgmental censoriousness consumed them.

4. Modern evangelists are wrongly compared to Finney, Edwards, Wesley and Whitefield, and there is no similarity whatsoever between them and their counterparts the American evangelists of the late 19th, 20th, and 21st Century. The striking differences are:-

a. They do not have the spirit of prayer,
b. They instead manufacture a spirit of excitement
c. Excitement relies on certain musical tempo and lilt to stir the feelings;
d. Excitement grows on musical instruments for atmosphere
e. Excitement is dependent on vocal entertainment (called spiritual?);
f. Excitement relies on tension reducing humour to release emotions
g. Excitement thrives with a stage produced persuasive psychology
h. Excitement comes from skilfully manipulating mood and emotion
i. Excitement is to titillate expectancy with a note of urgency
j. The tools of excitement vary according to the needs of a congregation,
i. Traditional, contemporary, or modern audience
ii. Minors, teens, youth, adulthood, elderly;
k. All psychological methods to excite are poor substitutes for the spirit of prayer, which alone brings genuine awakening of the soul when the Gospel is preached; which alone is conducive to Holy Ghost illumination and regeneration of disciples. I.e. those who have not the indwelling Spirit, but only God’s presence temporarily with them while the Father patiently draws them to the Saviour; to conviction; and to repentance. Only then will they receive the gift of faith (not to be confused with their own fickle freewill faith).

DECLINE OF NORTH ATLANTIC CHRISTIANS ( 2)

PRAYER OF CONFESSION BY WESTERN SAINTS

CONFESSION & ADMISSION BY CAUCASIAN SAINTS
Dear Heavenly Father, As we read thy word in Romans 11 and Genesis 9:27 we look at the apostate state of Japheth’s children in Christendom of the West, and we, like you O Lord, are grieved. Surely the time draws nigh when the descendants of Japheth will be broken off and the children of Shem will be grafted back into their olive tree.

Thy promise through Noah of enlargement to the Caucasian children of Japheth of Europe was combined with the nexus of us dwelling in the tents of Shem.

We acknowledge O Lord the enlargement of European nations since the dawn of the Reformation that began to end the Roman stranglehold of darkness. You have been merciful in keeping your promise enlarging advances in education, science, industry, medicine, wealth and capital gain beyond imagination. But we (Japheth) have forgotten both Israel (Shem) and faith by grace and its prior need of awakening shared by the Reformation and created our own witty inventions of religious substitutes of sacrament, affirmation, and philosophical optimism, spurning our plight under original sin’s blight.

We have become a wilful, violent people whose eyes are haughty with lofty eyelids and stiff necks. We have clung to the Tree of Knowledge instead of the Tree of Life and are blind to our wicked ways, while we hypocritically assert superiority over both Shem and Ham. Our only puritanical streak remaining is our puritanical hypocrisy. Our confrontational judgmental ways provokes the very violence we want to avoid. Surely the “days of Noah,and their violent imaginations are with us once again, even the vile wickedness of Sodom, and Gomorrah which you once destroyed.

Now O Lord we confess that we have for the most part turned our back on the tent of Shem in arrogance and political folly. Furthermore, we have scorned the faith of the Reformers and invented our own freewill faith rejecting the necessity of the spirit of prayer and prevenient grace that awakens the lost to hear the good news. Though Israel has known your ‘breach of promise’ and we Gentiles were grafted in to the Vine, the time draws nigh when you will break off our branches and restore Israel to yourself.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION BY WESTERN SAINTS

Warped United Nations Censure of USA.

Warped UN Vote= 60% of the 128 U.N group censuring the USA was from the anti Semite league of three.

(40%) of the whole U.N is now comprised of these alliances
60% of the 128 voting against the USA came from Muslim, Communist, (+ex Soviet states), and EU blocs.

*The Muslim 57 nation Organization of Islamic Co-operation led by Saudi Arabia and Iran usually vote together against Jews and the State of Israel.
*The three anti Semitic alliances (40% of the whole U.N.) were 60% of the censure voters.

128 CENSURING NATIONS ANALYSED.
Bloc voting skewed national representation via (1)the Muslim, (2) the Communist (including ex Soviet states); and (3) the EU nations. This vote was orchestrated antipathy.

These three powerful alliances dominate the floor of the U.N. now defeating free independent and impartial expression of sovereign nation states in the 192 member league. Each of the three blocs have historically shown anti-Semitic bias over the last few decades as the politically correct pressure progressively increases.

The EU now seems to have capitulated to it. This vote of censure was not just against America’s recognition of Jerusalem, but also against Israel itself.

HOW THE THREE ALLIANCES VOTED AGAINST THE USA
1. 18 EU nations of the 28
2. 49 Islamic nations of the 57 in the Org. of. Islamic Co-op.
3. 10 Communist and pro Communist nations.

These 77 nations made up 60% of the 128 censuring nations and 40% of the whole 192 U.N General Assembly

Thus in the U.N the three dominant interest groups have progressively befriended the late Yasser Arafat’s PLO Palestinian cause and alienated the Jewish Palestinian cause (now Israeli cause since 1948) thereby slewing the votes of the General Assembly for over two decades. Combined with the long standing Communist obstructive vetoes in the U.N Permanent Security Council the U.N has become dysfunctional and merely the tool of anti Semitic bias.

The E.U finally yielded to the two other dominant blocs in voting against its own interests censuring the USA’s recognition of the status quo in Israel. This may not the beginning of the end, but maybe the end of its beginning demise. The U.N is already a mere political paper tiger.

UK’s decision, in particular, to censure the USA & Israel showed how one Muslim mayor of London City and his dominantly Islamic electorate could turn the Westminster UK government in the Commons against two of its long standing allies: Israel and the USA. It made Israel a staunch ally: i.e. in Palestinian Jews before ’48 independence (1917-1944). The same growing influence of Islam upon the UK (2%+ of the populace) has within the last two years forced Holocaust denial upon all of their state school children by removing the Holocaust from schools’ curricula.
