Know your Enemy

Category: Ministry
Posted: 2007-12-31 08:00

This is what a blogger posted to me at a blog where I was talking down very directly all the cultural decay in our society by Liberals - abortion, homosexuality as positive, and false gods of all kinds:

"I have one serious question for you, that I'd hope you consider. Are you, yourself, a sinner? I know that the Bible answers this question. God knows that every person is a sinner. And you-you're a sinner. God also says that you should not judge others for their sin. And that you should only judge your own sin. Jesus was a friend to everyone, even a prostitute. If you are a real Christian, you should believe this. If you are a real Christian, you should be a friend to all. If you are a real Christian, you should stop these posts. They're horrible. I feel bad for you. I honestly feel bad for you, and I pray that God will have mercy on you (which he will). Like the Bible says, God forgives you for these sins. You embarrass me, you embarrass Christians around the world, and most importantly, you embarrass God."

Again, the above strain is suspect, but if it is sincere, this would represent a Christian who is angry at another Christian for speaking out against sin in our society. Below is my response:

God is incapable of being embarrassed. Yes, I am a sinner. I also would consider it a sin to sit back and embrace the will of the devil in our society.

God and the savior of the world, Jesus Christ, says for us not to judge others - 'why are you noticing the spec of dust in your brothers eye yet you don't notice the plank in your own eye'. Jesus was in fact a friend of the prostitute, he stuck up for her when the people wanted to stone her. The only begotten Son of God, Jesus, said to the crowd 'those without sin cast the first stone'.

Jesus obviously saw that it was unfit for this woman who had been subjected in life to this fallen world and led down a path that was destructive to her and imprisoned her in effect, that she should be stoned.

Also, I believe that Jesus saw into the hearts of the men who may have been holding stones in their hands already and saw men who had affairs on their wives themselves. A man who might have wanted to stone her to take out his anger on her because he was just dumped by a woman himself. Men who even were seeking 'justice', but who had lusted after another woman...even only in their hearts, even though they didn't do anything about that lust - according to Jesus's teaching it is the same as doing it.

So in effect, all these men were in the exact same standing regarding sin as this woman. The woman, who was a friend of God, was probably in a superior standing than her accusers.

In any event, it was Jesus's mercy that won over this woman to God. Jesus didn't judge her at all. In her day it was a harsh cast society - very traditional similar to the Middle East now. And Jesus was going hard core against the grain by befriending her. It is Jesus's mercy that wins over people still today.

God is not a wishy washy Dr. Phil as you would like him to be however. Why did Jesus give the Sermon on the Mount? Why did Jesus throw down the table of the money changers in the temple? Why in the Old Testament did God advise His people to stand up for themselves, to take land? Why does Jesus use the term enemy in referring to our cause in the New Testament? If there is an enemy who is it? It is the devil as the Bible says.

The question that our culture is facing right now is critical. What happens to all these children who are being exposed and shaped by the will of the enemy? The homosexual propaganda mafia where children have to emotionally and spiritually deal with people of the same sex arguing about wanting to get married. This would NEVER come up at anyones dinner table with their family had the perverted media not shoved it in our face night after night.

Having children being aware that they live in a society that could have aborted them and treat human life as a commodity coursens their development and coursens our society. Not to mention countless other perversions which is hoisted upon our youth.

So it is in fact a sin to sit back and watch all this happen to the current generation of children. It is in fact the perverted pop culture who is throwing the stones at the innocent, while you sit back and blame the ones sticking up for the innocent. You defend the stone throwers while passing jugement on me who is concerned and speaking out for the innocent. You are pious, but your position does not stand the test of legitimacy.

Jesus was a friend of the prostitute and the ones wanting to throw the stones were no better than her, in fact, they were worse off than her because the prostitute knew the Son of God. And I will also bet that she was no longer a prostitute after knowing the Son of God, surly she was delivered from that destructive lifestyle. The only question is, why as a self proclaimed referee of my comments, would you attempt to view my words intentions and heart under a microscope while the perverted pop-culture is dealing sin to the nations children? I am not a friend to all. First it is my duty to fend against the devil to those who are unknowing and vulnerable. I hate evil as God does.

So, I will not hug and kiss on the cheek with the cultural pornographers of this generation as you suggest while I see kids coming home from school with books titled "My Two Dads" and being taught evolution at school. Only to come home to see two grown men making-out under covers in a bed on MTV. While you sit back and judge my contempt for this. I wonder what you would score Jesus's outrage at the money changers, a failing grade?

The first order of business is protecting the vulnerable and innocent among us - the children, and I can worry about what the peanut gallery thinks of me later. Salvation for all is Jesus's mission. It is difficult to achieve salvation for all when you have the hard core committed rebels against God preaching demonic darkness within our culture day and night beginning with the politically malleable - kids.

So, there is a river that attempts to grow in width and suck in innocent and weak victims thereby drowning them and wisking them away from salvation. This river is the spiritual darkness that is this world as ruled by satan.

And in this fallen world there are people who hate God and side with satan. I have a great passion to combat this. I don't know what world you live in, but it sounds like peaches and cream and everything nice with special hugs for societal pimps. Special hugs for societal pimps is a good idea, but first SOMEONE must fight to stop the bleeding of the moral decay within this country that is the expressed wish of those I mention in this blog.

Salvation for all, but the critical issue is to pry satans hands off the throats of our kids to give the innocent a better chance at coming to salvation.

You should be embarrassed, but for reasons other than my posts. You confront me about judgement while attempting to deal out a harsh judgement about me.

The devils advocate

Some people try to twist the Bible and say Christians should live poor because of the below verse:

Matthew 19:20-24- The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Jesus was exemplifying in that passage that this young man was bragging about his good deeds, Jesus saw into his heart and corrected him. He was letting the man know that salvation is done through Christ, in other words, since this man challenged Christ in front of the others, Jesus made an example of his position for us to think, write, and talk about from that point forward.

Jesus said in effect, it is not by your works, but it is what is in your heart that I am after. Salvation is received by accepting the very spirit of God into your heart made possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross.

The man was unwilling to put down his treasure and follow the only Son of God...money was more important to him than God, even though moments ago the man was bragging of all his good deeds.

It is not God's will that we all sell everything we own and live poor. God's will with money is that you tide 10% to the church, this is what God indicated the church needed. In addition, we should all pray in the Holy Spirit asking God's guidance if there is other things that he would like us to participate in financially, or even helping someone out.

Jesus came up with the camel through the eye of the needle example to show under that criteria NO rich man will ever receive salvation, yet when Jesus's followers questioned Jesus on this point Jesus told them that ALL things are possible through he (Jesus) that was sent by the Father (God).

So this parable, which actually happened, was Jesus's way to minister to us not that wealth is bad, but that many men worship money over God, which is a bad thing, even though this rich man did good things, his heart was still in bondage to his riches.

God does NOT disapprove wealth, king Solomon was the richest man on earth due to God blessing him. Many other Christians are blessed financially by God, the Apostles were not poor and they were never instructed to be.

It is the heart that Jesus is after. Jesus said "I have come that you have life and have it more abundantly" - abundantly in ALL ways, spiritually first, but sweating a car payment every month is not abundance. Jusus said "Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven" - there are mansions and gold streets in Heaven, windows made of pearl, no, it is not in God's nature that we live meager, but God wants to demonstrate his blessings in our lives.

God instructed Adam that he should subdue the earth and all that is in it. Even in the garden of Eden there was a multitude of precious stones. God is a God of overflow indeed.

In fact, God had a lot to say about sloth as well. In many cases the so-called poor are in the condition that they are in due to NOT following the advice of God the creator, and not because hard workers are unwilling to give their money away to them.

Some people say that Jesus said to only pray in private.

That advice was given for men to check the motive of their hearts while praying, weather it be in public or in private.

Jesus is saying if you are praying for exaltation from other men then God advises your prayers will not be effective because your heart is untrue.

Keep in mind when Jesus said that he was speaking towards the Jewish religious power structure at the time which was very corrupt and all about status and a prideful hierarchy.

Jesus was not limiting us from praying in public. Prayer in public or even corporate prayer is very useful, such as group prayer before a sporting event, group prayer before a battle, group prayer before a surgery, etc.

Corporate prayer could be when a church gathers and the pastor prays before the congregation, the whole congregation is in agreement, and this is a very powerful form of prayer to God.

God advises in his word that when two or more people come together in in agreement prayer it is more effective. This is one of the benefits according to the Bible of a marriage between a man and a woman, corporate prayer.

Also, if there is prayer in public it can be a great form of leadership to others, or encouragement, because they may respect the boldness of the open communication to God, in a world that is not usually hospitable to the word of God.

Some people say the Bible is not true and they have the proof which is the verse in The Bible that says "Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.".

This was not referring to a literal 'mans' generation, this is going off a generation of the things of God, a generation to God with regards to 'man' may not be the length or duration of time one of our great great (x 10) grandfathers may have lived, but a gerneration of 'mankind' according to God is something that He is aware of and we may not be.

God did say that it will come as a surprise when it happens. And it is also true that even when all these prophecies come to pass before our very eyes, there will still be a great multitude of people who still do not believe. Don't forget, God has lived forever, so his calender is probably significantly differant that ours, what is a year to God?

Some people try to claim that Jesus would have been a "Liberal".

Jesus Would not favor induced labor in order to protrude the fetus's head out of the mothers cervix in order to pierce a device into the soft part of the back of the head just above the neck in order that this device create a vaccuum sufficient enough to remove most of the brain matter of a viable baby.

Jesus would not favor homosexual marriage thereby presenting to our children that this is a perfectly viable standard in which to strive for even though His Father warned against homosexuality and hated it.

Jesus Would not be in favor of Welfare that has struck through the black community ripping apart their family structure in the inner cities and tearing away at their independence leaving away a multitude of fatherless children beginning after the first generation of Welfare recipients.

If Jesus is a Liberal then Liberals wouldn't be banning him from public schools and institutions.

Jesus would not favor the sexual revolution of the 1960's that is now being preached to our children by way of condom installation instruction in a government building on tax payers dime, he calls premarital sex fornication and His Father said He is against it.

Jesus would be against a psycho therapy pop-culture as evidenced by Jerry Springer, Dr. Phil, most Hollywood type lost souls because He said "I am the way, the truth, and the life", He wants us to turn to He and His Father through the Holy Spirit and by way of hearing the teaching of the Bible as the true path to freedom and not man's way.

Jesus would not favor the drug culture of the 1960's that is preached to our children by way of giving them drugs of all types and our society being awashed in prescription drugs of all kinds, in the Bible it refers to staying away form "magic", certain Greek translations has that word referring to drugs.

Jesus would not want our society to turn away from Him because He came here to save us all. He especially would not want the adults to minimize His influence in our society because he would want children of all different types of backgrounds to discover salvation.

The devil is a liar, here is whats to come: Revelation 20:10 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) "And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

The end of the game is already known, the only question now is - 'who's team are you on'.

Some people say "Jesus never said abortion and homosexuality are evil in the New Testament, therefore it is fine and these Christians don't even know their own religion".

The Jewish 'authorities' tried to pin down Jesus to the 'letter' of the Law's, Jesus saw through their hearts. Oh yes, they were very good at bickering, for example, they tried to pin down Jesus for healing on the Sabbath, they said Jesus was working on the Sabbath.

They were experts on using God's own word for their own perverse goals. However, they were on the side of evil, same as those who don't know Jesus perversely try to use Him against Himself today.

The New Testament does not nullify the word of God in the Old Testament, Jesus is God, Jesus came that all might have salvation, but Jesus's resurrection to pay for all man's sins does not change the truth of Jesus's Father, God.

Jesus does not specifically refer to the practice of abortion in the New Testament, he refers to "life", and the enemy comes to "steal, kill, and destroy". Jesus does not specifically refer to Internet child pornography, but would you favor Internet child pornography?

Their problem is that they have not received the Holy Spirit made possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus who is the world's Savior. They are still acting like the ones who wanted to persecute the Savior of the world to satisfy their own perverse desires:

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine, instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn away from the truth and turn aside to myths." (2 Timothy 4:3-4 NIV). Y

They are exactly like the high priest attempting to entrap Jesus, or in this day, entrap his teachings to somehow make it look to favor killing babies and two men laying with each other.

This is the 'letter of the law' trick because they do not know the Son.

The synagogues back when Jesus was around used to sell small leather arms bands with a little leather box on them, this was to keep a very small scroll of God's word on their left arm to fulfill the Word of God which said "keep My words close to your heart", of course this is not what God meant, this is a perversion of God's word.

Similarly, the high priests would sell head bands for the people to buy and wear in public. The head bands would have God's word on it, to fulfill the teaching of God that said "Let them not go from your eyes", another perversion of God's teachings.

There are many more, including Liberals lying about their intentions: "We are not for abortion, we just don't want the government bla bla bla", "We are not against Christians, we just don't want the government bla bla bla", "We are not for homosexuality, we just don't want the government bla bla bla", yet they feverishly defend homosexuality and abortion but favor stifling Christianity in public whenever possible.

God may be witnessing their heart as they devise their argument towards death.

Their master is the father of lies and they are a willing apprentices. Little has changed in the last 2000 years. They hate Christ same as they did 2000 years ago, they try to mask that fact with cleverness.

Globalization

Many Liberals, or anti-Christians, in this country today claim how bad of a place America is. And Hollywood actors lie and say if 'so and so' is elected they'll leave the country and go live somewhere else (they never do unfortunately).

I've heard people compare Europe favorably with America. Claim this backwards God fearing fundamentalist America is (emotionally?) oppressive.

Mainly I see these people who knowingly or unknowingly hate Christ. They hate the influence of Him in our culture. They want to be free form any sort of condemnation whatsoever. Free from this God who judges. Free from societal moral rules. Free (?) from God's principles.

If you hold a globe in your hand and look around you will see country by country according to their beliefs in God. And you will also see what type of lifestyle, prosperity, and freedom they have.

Russia has had the church ripped form the culture more than half a century ago. Now Russia is clearly not based on any sort of Godly culture but their religion is still communism. Russia is a hopeless place to live for the general population. Russia's national religion is Communism. Russia and it's various provinces has the highest recorded suicide rate on the planet.

Europe was injected with Catholicism a long time ago which is not based on a relationship with God but rather based on the Catholic church gaining more power. It did not hold and Europe has rejected God. Their religion is mans intellect and being impressed with their culture, style, and ego's. The vaccuum created by the abandoning of Christianity has ushered in a deluge of Muslims which continues to increase to this day, who in certain neighborhoods operate under Sharia Law. Europe's native population is dwindling.

The Middle East is 100% Muslim where Christianity is punishable by death. The Middle East cannot educate their own population, they are a 'thrid world' territory. They can't offer proper medical care, their standard of living is extremely low. They are impoverished and their non-oil related GDP is 2%. And we are all aware of the violence that prevalent there as well as the violence that is exported form there. They also operate under a dictatorship which cut off limbs and hold back room trials. There is very little freedom there and much strife.

In Muslim countries it is a 'cast society', you either have a lot of money (the extreme minority), or you are dirt poor (the vast majority).

Israel has a decent standard of living but they are a bit of an anomaly. They get much of their money through America. They are able to educate their young, build hospitals, etc.

Asia is a place where the vast majority of the population believes in Buddhism. The standard of living in Asia is very low. Until just recently you could have been killed for following Christianity. In Indonesia Muslims have immigrated there in masses and have taken over the country and have fully integrated into their political system. Now their is much blood shed, kidnappings, and religious based murders. The same goes for Malaysia. Other parts of Asia such as Thailand, Cambodia, Korea, etc. have an extremely high rate of extreme poverty.

Japan may have the highest standard of living in Asia. As you know they adopted a Western style economy after World War II. After they submitted to America during the course of the war America helped them rebuild their country which heavily influenced they way it operates today.

Moving on to India. The vast majority of Indian's are Hindu. India is becoming somewhat westernized in their method of governance. However they still have a very high level of extreme poverty and their standard of living is quite low.

South America is mainly Catholic with also some native ndian 'religions' mixed in. Catholicism is not yolked to prosperity as it is not based on a relationship with God but more based upon the institution of the church. South America for the most part has a very low standard of living, very high unemployment, high crime, and massive corruption in their governments.

Brazil is very poor, their standard of living is very low. Venezuela's national religion is now communism. Argentina used to be extremely competitive on the world stage with all the influx of German and European immigrants more than a half century ago. However, Argentina currently has a collapsed economy.

Central America. Most of their population is Catholic, but their is also a large native Indian type customary influence of superstition. Many Central Americans worship a ritualistic form of Catholicism as well. A glass of water half full place behind a door, pendants of saints, mother Mary dolls, and so on. This is a form of superstition which is demonic. Extreme poverty, virtually no GDP, extremely low incomes. Their is a grotesque amount of corruption in their political system and police.

Over to Africa. Africa mainly has been a 'black magic' continent. Superstition. Very very dark. When they were brought over to New Orleans Louisiana in America they brought that there and some of it still exists today in the culture of that city. Many louisiana settlers were French as well by the way. The African immigration also brought 'black magic' to Brazil. 'Black magic' is solely based on superstition. It is completely demonic. Africa is one of the worst off continents in the world. Starvation, disease, violence, murder, sexual diseases, no family structure, practically zero GDP, despair.

Cuba, their national religion is Communism. There is very little freedom there. People risk their lives to escape there.

Hati. One of the worst countries on the planet. Their "official" national religion is 'black magic' - literally! They have rituals in the basements of houses where they will chop up roosters and chickens and chant and try to enter themselves into a trance. I would describe Hati as the closest thing to hell on earth. Their standard of living is one of the lowest on earth, who migrates to there?

America blows away every country on the globe in all realms. No second place exists. Standard of living, services, freedom, and above all, opportunity.

America is the most Christian influenced nation on earth. We are the most powerful nation on earth by a land slide. Our people are the most free and prosperous. We are also the most generous.

This is further evidence of God's blessings. Or satans wages. You cannot have your cake and eat it to. You must accept God with the blessings. If you want the blessing of God without the "God" part, soon the blessing will disappear.

I believe there is enough Christians in this country that will help to ensure God's blessings will continue to flow in this great nation.

All these idiot actors and media pundits don't even employ common sense. How do they claim this country was not built on God when all of our founding fathers structured our founding documents around Him? The Christian influence in our culture, law's, and government has been vastly evident form the beginning until today.

How can they claim that America is not the greatest nation that ever was?

Oh, they 'blame America first'. "America is oppressive and everything it has gained has been at the expense of others". This sounds like the devil. Telling you that you don't deserves God's blessings. Trying to degrade your ownership of God's gifts.

This reminds me of that complete idiot Tom Brokaw who is selling that book claiming how great the 1960's were. He claims that the 1960's was the greatest years in America.

The 'sexual revolution' for our kid to inherit the consequences. The 'drug revolution' for our kid to inherit the consequences. The 'woman's liberation' tantrum for our children to be reassured that they are in fact a burden and not a joy, and that husbands should be the ones submitting to their wives, which is made evident by the 50% plus divorce which more than doubled via the baby-boomers.

During a radio interview in late 2007 while promoting his book about how great the 1960's were Tom Brokaw said that America was a racist nation. That when a black person walks into a restaurant people become uncomfortable. Really? It has to do with appearance and perceived attitude for anyone to become uncomfortable with anyone in public, not race.

If a black man in a business suit walks in carrying a briefcase according to Tom Brokaw everyone in the restaurant become uncomfortable.

Isn't it more if a person of any race associates themselves with a known cultural criminal element by way of attire, dialect, body language, and attitude that patrons of a restaurant may take notice? If a person white, black, hispanic, or asian dresses, talks, walks, and acts like a gang banger. People perceive this as a threat because they watch the news.

Anyway, Tom Brokaw suggests that our nation needs to engage in open talks about race. Huh? The interviewer asked 'well, what are we going to talk about, how is that conversation going to go?'. Tom Brokaw's response was less than concise, saying that we are a segregated nation. I'm not sure what business it is of Tom Brokaw who chooses who as their friends.

The interviewer asked Tom Brokaw "do you go to church", Tom Brokaw was totally caught off guard. 'Um, well, um, I, um, not very often...'. He claimed that he was some religion before he was married then converted to some other religion after he was married.

Mostly a "religion" is an excuse to avoid having an intimate relationship with God so you can continue going about your life virtually any way you please without the hassle of condemnation. Tom Brokaw going out and preaching his own doctrine and glorifying one of the worst eras in our nation's history is an example of that.

The interviewer said to Tom Brokaw - "maybe you don't get out enough", he continued 'in the evangelical Christian churches there is the most integrated communities ever seen'. Blacks, whites, asians, hispanics all worshipping God togehter side by side.

Then iterestingly Tom Brokaw mentioned that he did spend time with an evangelical pastor where he interviewed and investigated a story where the pastor was busted for engaging with a homosexual prostitute.

What was happening here was Tom Brokaw was coming up with his own rules, his way to run and heal his perceptions of what America is. This is what the baby boomers have done and are still doing today, writing their own rules.

He was offered Christianity as a great example of the goodness of Christianity within a society. Then Tom Brokaw countered that with one single homosexual pastor to dirty-up Christianity so he can then divert the conversation back to HIS solutions to HIS perceived problems for this Christian nation. Very subtle.

When asked what was so important about the 60's Tom Brokaw said the 'civil rights movement' and the 'woman's movement'. Hmm, if people are so afraid of black people entering a restaurant what has Tom Brokaw actually done in the last forty years? And, are woman so much happier today than they were forty years ago? How does Tom Brokaw explain all the prescription medication now needed to keep one content? Why is everyone unhappy with their marriages?

In spite of these parents who never grew up. In spite of them never ceasing to amaze people with their childlike ways. This nation is so great due to the foundation of Jesus Christ planeted deep with in our culture and very hearts.

Really, the American citizens claiming how bad America is, pointing out all of the faults they say America has, they are the problem. Not because they complain about things, but because they have caused all of the ills our nation struggles with today.

They create problems then blame Christians. Look at the disastrous results of the 'great society'.

Even though America has suffered the most wretched generation that is still blabbing its fussing pie hole about this and that, we are still the greatest nation that ever was in spite of them.

Due to God's light shinning through those who call him Father and call Jesus His Son. This is the true reason this nation is blessed. Not because Tom Brokaw types spouting their home-made religions of political-Godlessness.

We are the most blessed nation on the planet in spite of Tom Brokaw and his immature 'adult' generation. They fuss about rules, they fuss about morality, they fuss continually about their own country, the home God gave us.

Just hold a globe in your hand and you will see. We are blessed because of God's light shinning through to those who follow him. This allows us to bless the rest of the world as we do daily like no other nation in history.

The blessing of God on America defies the rebellious generation of the 1960's.
