"Inherit the Wind"

February 26, 2016

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 11:29

My wife and I saw on the cable channel, two weeks ago, on Turner Classic Movies--Inherit the Wind. I had seen it when it first came out, which was a long, long time ago--1960. That was the year that I graduated from high school. That was so long ago that I forgot almost the entire movie. I just remembered a few of the scenes.

It was a movie that told the story of the Scopes or Monkey Trial that was held in Dayton, Tennessee. I had mistakenly thought, in my own mind, it was Cleveland, Tennessee. But that’s how long ago I saw the movie. It was the trial that depicted Evolution Versus Creation in the public schools.

Scripture Reading: Jude 1:4

Have you ever wondered, “How did it get this way?”

• How did gays become one of the most protected peoples on the stage of life?

• How did illegal immigrants become so popular in the land of legal immigrants?

• How did the legal system have a bias against the victims of a crime?

• How did drinking and recreational drugs become so highly promoted in this nation?

• How did sexual deviance in society become systematically promoted?

• How did so many of the population become dependent on state benefits?

• How did the media become so controlled and dumbed-down?

• How was there an all-out attack on Christianity and the emptying of the churches?

There is nothing that happens unless it is first planned. Who planned this?

Our Deadly Enemy Part 2

Scripture Reading: Titus 1:14

There were at the time that this verse was written, fables--in particular Jewish fables, which the Christian was instructed to pay no attention to. We were warned not to get comfortable with these distortions of truth. Jewish fables or fictions or myths are still very much all around us. Do we still give heed to them?

Esau hates Jacob. Jews hate Israel. The Edomite Jew believes that if all the descendants of Jacob/Israel were no longer alive, then the covenant recipient would have to go back to the one before Jacob, i.e. Esau, because of default. Remember, Esau once was in possession of the covenant and all its blessings, but he despised it. He sold it to his younger twin brother Jacob. And a little later he lost the blessing because Jacob and his mother plotted against him and deceived his father.

It had to be a good deception to fool Jacob’s father, Isaac. For Isaac loved Esau while his wife loved Jacob. Isaac’s eyesight at that time was very bad, so Jacob had to disguise himself as Esau. Fixing the venison wasn’t hard, as his mother helped prepare the meal. But putting goat hairs on his arms and the smooth of his neck and wearing Esau’s goodly raiment convinced Isaac that it had to be Esau because Jacob smelled and felt just like Esau. And the twin boys were so different. Esau was an avid hunter and outdoorsman while Jacob was a shepherd. (Now it is just the opposite—Esau is deceiving Jacob’s descendants that Esau is Jacob.)

Isaac felt the skins of the goat hairs and smelled the raiment that Jacob wore, and that convinced him that Jacob was indeed Esau. It was the only time in the Scriptures that man depended upon his feeling, and he was deceived.

Scripture Reading:  1 Thessalonians 2:14-15

Two weeks ago, there was a “swastika” spray painted across the welcome sign of Hebrew Union College. Rabbi Daniel Bogard said: “We say ‘not in my country,’ or ‘not in my city,’ or ‘not in my school.’ But this IS our country, and it Is my city, and this IS the quiet and peaceful campus that I spent my rabbinical school years at, defiled with a swastika” (Cincinnati Enquirer, January 6, 2017, Page 8A).

Is the United States a Jewish country? Is Cincinnati a Jewish city? Is that what the Rabbi is saying? It is where the Rabbi spent his years of schooling to learn to become a leader in Judaism. It is where he learned the Talmud. And it is the Talmud that says that the Jews are the chosen people of god and the rest of the people are “goyim.” Do you believe that? Is that true?

When I visited the Hebrew Union College several years ago, I found that the doors to all their campus buildings were locked. You had to buzz someone who was inside the building and identify yourself. You had to tell who you were and what you were going to do there. In my case, I had to explain that I was going to look for a certain pamphlet in the library. It was a little nerve-racking, but I did it, and I was let in. While at the library, I found out a lot of stuff that I didn’t know. It was contrary to what I had been taught. It was quite an interesting library! It had all the Jewish articles about Jewish people and what they have done to push their Communist agenda. It was very progressive and liberal.

Scripture reading:  Genesis 27:41  “And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father [Isaac] blessed him [Jacob]: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother, Jacob.”

We have seen in our Biblical History studies, several different races of people. The Canaanites are one interesting group of people that the Judeo-Christian movement (branch of Roman Catholicism) cannot answer with a consistent view on their issue of equality. The Canaanites became a mongrel mix from Canaan, a descendant of Ham, and the Kenites, who were descended from Cain. Many of these people, in the days of ancient Israel, had very tall and strong giants living among them and mixing with them.

The Judeo-Christian will agree that the Canaanites were to be completely killed by God’s people. They were instructed by God’s own words. He didn’t instruct His people to send missionaries first with the intent to try to convert some of them; but to kill every man, woman, child and infant, including even their animals. There is not one descendant of the Kenites or Canaanites who ever heard [obeyed] the words of God. They are not, even once, referred to as being His sheep.

But the answer of the Judeo-Christian is “That was the Old Testament. We are living in the New. The death of Jesus Christ hadn’t happened yet, and when that occurred a major change happened. One of the major changes was that Jesus’ death was for all races of people from His death forward not backward.”

What? It wasn’t a redemption for anyone who lived prior to His death? Adam? Seth? Noah? Abraham? Isaac? Jacob? Joshua? Samson? Samuel? Joseph? Moses? Judah? David? John the Baptist?; Just to name a few of the millions of God’s people who lived prior to the death of their Kinsman-Redeemer. They were not saved from their sins by the death of Jesus Christ?

Jacob's Family

Scripture Reading: Genesis 30:1-2

If you believe that the modern soap operas that are visible on television daily are bad; if you believe that the representatives of the people in the executive, legislative and judicial branches are bad; if you believe that the modern morals of the nation are bad; if you believe that the past three sentences are true, what will you believe about Jacob’s family?

The first two verses in our scriptural reading give us a short glimpse at an ongoing argument between Rachel and Jacob. Rachel was blaming her husband for the fact that she was not bearing him any children. Jacob replied that it wasn’t his fault. He hadn’t closed her womb. What is going on here?

Why is this chapter in the Bible anyway? In fact, why are the details of this very dysfunctional family in the Bible? Jacob had how many wives? Two. And who cares if one wife (Rachel) was jealous of the other wife (Leah)? And the wives were also sisters. And who cares if the other wife (Leah) felt that she was not loved by her husband (Jacob) as much as he loved her sister (Rachel)? And what is the big deal about all the children? What wife bore what child to Jacob?

Lucifermas

Scripture Reading:  Jeremiah 10:1-2   “Hear the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel.Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the sign of heaven: for the heathen are dismayed at them.”

I got underwhelmed on Monday (November 21st) when they began to play Christmas music at my workplace, songs like Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Silent Night, Noel, White Christmas, etc. Repeatedly they play this Christmas serenade every day, every hour, every minute without ceasing. It will drive me very close to the point of insanity.

This will happen because they will play this mostly secular Christmas music until the second week of January. I thought in my mind that, for sure, there was no way that Christmas was a Christian holiday—it had to be misnamed. Why would the world get so excited about it each year if it was truly a Christian holyday?

Lucifermas should be its correct name, not Christmas.

Scripture Reading: John 10:26-28, 31

Were you taught in the public school system that anyone can become president of the United States if that person wants it? Could your next-door neighbor, Susie, be a candidate when she became over thirty-five years old? What about your best friend, Bill?

In today’s multicultural world, it could be Ki-Ki or Quez or even a transgendered person. But they are told by their high school social studies teacher that they could be picked by either party to run for the presidency. But that would be counter to what the Bible would say.

The Bible declares that the “scepter shall not depart from Judah…” (Genesis 49:10). What does that mean? What does that mean? In fact, what do all the blessings that Jacob gave to these twelve sons mean, if they are not the truth?

Scripture Reading:  Nehemiah 13:3

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed the 95 objections that he had with the Catholic faith on the front door of the Wittenberg Castle Church. This began the Protestant Reformation. That was just about 499 years ago.

Question: Who does the current Pope pray to each and every day? Any answers?

The correct answer was given by the Bishop of the Catholic Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana who was conducting the Red Mass. In his sermon he stated that the Pope had said that he prays every day to Thomas More, the martyr of the Catholic Church. And not only does the current Jesuit Black/White Pope pray to this dead man who was beheaded 500 years ago, everyone in the Red Mass prays to this deceased individual. All the special guests including:

• Judges, including the Supreme Court Judges
• Lawyers
• Government officials
• Secretary of State
• Prosecutors
• Attorneys
• President and Vice-president and their spouses, etc.

What are all these different masses: The Red Mass, White Mass, Michaelmas, etc? The answer might surprise you.

Scripture Reading:  Nehemiah 13:27  “Shall we, then, hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives (foreign women)?”

I am postponing my series on Biblical History but will return to it shortly. The reason I am doing this is because of the unusual presidential election we are having here in the United States. I believe it is necessary to make my comments on what is happening now to help us see what could happen in the near future. I think this is biblical and what a church should do.

We have the criminal elements of the Bush – Clinton families which want to continue in their practice of rape, sexual assaults, bullying, murder, false accusing, drug smuggling, unnecessary wars and lying among other illegal and unlawful things to eventually create a one world order. They will do almost anything, and since they have the backing of the media owners, they can get out of almost everything that they have done in the past.

The crime families supported Donald Trump in the primaries as they figured him to be the easiest man for Hillary to beat in an election. Once they were running against him, they knew that they had the tapes of his sexual encounters that they could use against him at any time. And they chose a very good time to use them. And because of these tapes and other reasons, many of the leaders of his own party will not endorse or support him. Our country is in a very bad, polarizing situation.
