The Degrading of American Society and Morality

 The following things are paraphrases of some wise words that I've read elsewhere, exposing the popular "political correctness" trends that are destroying us spiritually, morally, and socially.

• How is it, that,…if a male pretends to be a female, or visa versa, we are politically, and sometimes legally, required to pretend that that person’s gender confusion is not confusing and destructive for society?

• How is it that,...if males or females decide to have sexual relations with someone of their own sex, that the rest of us are now politically forced to endure or even praise that behavior, even though God says it is an abomination because that kind of sexual behavior undermines natural biological procreation on which families and society are naturally founded?

• How is it, that,…Russians influencing our elections is obviously a bad thing, but, why does our society justify felons, illegal aliens, and deceased voters being allowed to be counted as voters in our elections?

• How is it, that,…since the human brain isn’t fully formed until about 23 to 25 years of age, twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote and die for our country?

• How is it, that,…some folks want people who have never owned slaves to pay slavery reparations to people, or their families, who were never slaves? Why is it that society makes so much noise about slavery and hardly anyone says anything about the way the American Indians have been treated by our society, or the genocide of the race of giants that the Indians exterminated?

• How is it, that,…people who have never been to college should be taxed to pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees that are supposed to help the students earn so much more money than the people who didn’t go to college?

• How is it, that,…doctors, engineers, and other highly skilled people who want to immigrate to the US must patiently endure rigorous vetting processes, but illegals and criminals who violate our borders are welcomed in certain U.S. cities?

• How is it, that,…$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not too expensive to care for people who don't eat right or care for themselves?

• How is it, that,…if you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country, some states allow you go to college for free?

• How is it that,...if most citizens cheat on taxes or lie to authorities we are held accountable and subject to punishments, but when we have allowed government or businesses to waste, squander, lie, or cheat, there is seldom any consequence for those high level offenders of the Law, for they are often promoted for their connivance?

• How is it, that,…though we see Socialist and Communist countries bankrupted and collapsing around the world, yet those dying political philosophies seem like attractive governmental blueprints to many of our citizens and politicians who refuse to admit reality?

• How is it, that,…some people are blamed or held responsible for things that happened before they were even born, while many other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now?

• How is it, that,...people increasingly reject the death penalty (even though God instituted it) and then the people complain about repetitive crimes, crowded prison conditions, and the egregious taxes and expenses to house criminals?

• How is it, that,…when criminals violate the rights of their victims, yet stopping or executing those criminals is often called a violation of THEIR rights?

• How is it, that,…messengers who point out social and political hypocrisy are often labeled as “hateful” or "racist"?

We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is called wrong and wrong is called right, where moral is called immoral and immoral is called moral, where good is called evil and evil is called good, where killing murderers is called wrong, but killing innocent unborn babies is called right.

Wake up America, our pride-swollen ship has hit an iceberg and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely! Individually and collectively, we all need to repent of our sin and put our faith and practice in God’s Christ, for it is God’s only plan.

Isaiah 5:20  “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter”! 

Where Are Our Godly Leaders and Judges? If They Feared God, They Would Honor His Laws.

 2 Chronicles 19:4-7

⁴  And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers.
⁵ And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, 

⁶  And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment. 

⁷  Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. 

God says that the fear of the LORD is a good and righteous and holy thing in which we should live and learn and prosper in Him. Don't allow the world and worldly people to steer you away from God's ways, for they will surely tell you that God's ways are wrong and their ways are right, even as God said that they would do in the 'last days'.

The choice is yours whether you choose the way of the world and eternal suffering or whether you choose God's Christ and His plan of eternal life.

What Does Luck Have To Do With Anything? Luck Doesn't Exist!

Tremendous numbers of people around the world believe in a superstition called "luck", instead of trusting the laws of probability or God's Word and intervention. They would rather give credit to something that doesn't exist, instead of giving God the credit and glory that He alone deserves for creating and overseeing all things. However, if one is willing to read the Bible, one can quickly see that there is no luck nor random chance, as humans usually think of these things. One quickly sees that God has put all things into motion according to His Laws and His Word, and that what He promises shall always happen in His timing.

2 Chronicles 18 is a great lesson and example for all of us. It's about two kings who were living life in contrast to one another and, yet, decided to go to war against a perceived common enemy. This fascinating historical account shows how these two kings fared, the one ignorantly trusting in chance, camouflage, and false gods, the other trusting in the Eternal Self-existent Almighty God who created all things (including humanity) for Himself, according to His ways. Read these Bible verses for yourself to learn which king survived the battle, historically, and why he survived, that you, too, might learn whether luck or the fulfillment of God's Word is the reality of this life.

When you see and accept God's truth in action, according to His Word, I urge you to repent and receive the only Christ that God has ever ordained and authorized to save us all from our sin. God bless you to select God's redemption before the end of your life, that you not choose to send yourself to eternal damnation.

God is the one who said that His plan is the only plan of salvation, and He alone is the only one who can guarantee it.

High Tech Social Media Creators Warn of Social Addiction and Chaos

I recently watched the Netflix “The Social Dilemma” documentary and discussion about social media that floods our computers and cell phones. Numerous people who have shaped how social media now works are interviewed in this documentary, saying that the algorithms that drive the social media apps are self-serving to addict users, glean as much personal info as possible, and to serve as means for the social media companies to sell as much targeted advertising as possible to the highest bidder, based on our personal info and our addiction time on their apps. 

I HIGHLY recommend watching this discussion and warning, as it raises extremely serious issues about the dysfunctional money-driven way that we, the social media so-called “account users”, are mined as products for our most private and intimate information, time, and attention. Those interviewed further warn us that our information is converted into targeted intermittent reinforcement techniques to become captivating and polarizing influences in our lives, our societies, and worldwide, because they make more money when people are polarized, tribalized, and at each other's throats socially, just as weapons manufacturers and dealers have known and fostered social discord for eons. 

In the documentary, former developers of these social media apps put great stress and urgency on how they, themselves, do not fully understand how the artificial intelligence (machine intelligence) successfully and selectively teaches itself to target the weakest, most addictive, and most divisive aspects of an individual media user's personality. The correlation between the advent of high tech social media and rapidly increasing social unrest, personal addiction to social media, suicide, and other societally dysfunctional behaviors are not random nor merely coincidental.

To paraphrase one speaker, if every user is fed different information to addict us to the media and maximize the monetary gain of the social app corporations, and each of us comes, thereby, to be so dysfunctionally influenced by artificial intelligence manipulated contrasting personal perceptions of what truth is supposed to be, without us having any real standard of truth, then we lose contact with any dominant apparent truth, which, in turn, breaks down all ability for us to truly communicate with anyone else, thus destroying the very fabric of responsible human social interaction, and especially blinding humanity to God's Truth.

Because of that worldly influence that strives to tear down Truth, I strenuously urge everyone, near and far, to test and prove all things, including what is on the internet, by the literal Word of God in the Bible, while the Bible is still available to us.

God bless you as you seek God’s truth.

Even Giants Fall To Determined Men

1 Chronicles 20:4-8
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued. 

5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.
7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

Over and over, in the Bible and history, IF we study them, we can see that bullies, giants, and sin all fall to those who determine to do the righteousness in which God tells humanity to abide. Those who rely on God's Word and truly believe on the LORD and His Christ, then desire to turn to God's Word and Christ, in repentance and faith, and are promised life eternal. That life with God and His only Christ, His only Savior, is an eternally blessed life of beauty, light, and joy, forever.

Without that repentance and faith, the rest, who deceive themselves by habitually enticing themselves with false religions and choosing to practice sin, fail to overcome sin's ravages. Those who have chosen this latter path of sin and its temporal fulfillments are promised eternal consciousness and eternal suffering in which they shall forever agonizingly regret their wasted lives.

Today, by God's mercy and grace, you can overcome your sin by turning to Jesus Christ, instead of remaining lost in sin and letting it weigh you down for eternity.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved."

Our Works, Our Denial, and Ignoring Truth Won't Save Us: Only God's Christ, Jesus, Can Do It

1 Chronicles 10:13-14
¹³  So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;
¹⁴  And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. 

Worldly systems and philosophies of government and religions have never been a friend of God nor of His Word. Though there is much seeking after power and so-called spirituality, there is little seeking after what God says to us and wants of us. God has never been pleased with people going off to do "their own thing", instead of following what He has commanded. He tells us, ahead of time, what is good and evil. He tells us, ahead of time, the fruit and consequences of our choices, whether we choose to walk with Him or fight against Him. Even our neglect of Him, His Word, and His ways is a choice to attack His command. 

Luke 10:27

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

He tells us, in Romans Chapter One, that all the natural world and its laws of nature show us, inexcusably, that God is God and that all things point to our need to heed Him and draw close to Him.

Therefore, since He has already given us His Word in the Bible, let us seek the Almighty Self-existent Eternal God, our Creator, in and through His only begotten son, His only Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, who, alone, led a sinless perfect life that He, alone, could shed His sinless blood and die for our sin, and then that He raised Himself from the dead on the third day, as He promised, according to the Scripture. His only plan of salvation is that all of us can and must turn to Him alone, in "repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ", if we want to choose eternal life in God. Otherwise, we shall have chosen to die alone, forever, in conscious separation and torment. Please turn from your sin, now, and turn to God's only plan of salvation and He shall make you free from the bondage and burden of your sin and its eternal consequences. 

Idolatry Pretends to Know God, But Doesn't Trust the Only Real God

When God tells us to fear and respect and love Him, we prove our love and allegiance by what we do, not just by what we say. It is one thing to fear someone in awe and respect and quite another to fear them out of terror of harm. God wants us to fear Him the first way for that leads us away from having to dread what He can and shall do if we don't obey what He has already told humanity in the Bible. 

God has forbidden all idol worship, for idolatry of any kind proves that we are not in a right relationship with the Self-Existent One, the Eternal One, whether we worship self, things, or other people. Idols are anything we seek first, instead of taking our concerns and petitions directly to the One True God. 

2 Kings 17:41
So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day. 

Those people were afraid of God because they did not want to know Him personally. They put worldly things and religious behaviors ahead of seeking God, and they continued deceiving themselves into thinking and acting as if their idols were gods, even after they were repeatedly told God's truth. 

If you want peace and redemption from and with God Almighty, then please read His Word, the Bible. The Bible's books of John and Romans summarize many principles of what God wants for us and show us the way of His only plan of salvation.
