What is knowledge when it is hidden?

John Pilger’s tenacity has paid off. After years of sticking to the principle of independent journalism, of not kowtowing to the culture of disinformation that pervades the press corps run by Government and Media spin doctors, John has attracted the attention of conscientious insiders prepared to spill the beans. The War You Don’t See shows that tenacity works.
The truth is now as clear as the unreported events surrounding the 9/11 incident. You have been lied to by those whom you trust to govern you and Her Majesty ought to be ashamed. However, it is incumbent upon any journalist to mention the other side of the coin vis a vis the surrender of diplomats to their 'honourable' role as gatekeepers of an ideological cause. It is probable that for ‘national security’ reasons the deceit was necessary to prevent disclosure of British Military Intelligence covert operations, which would have jeopardised the security, for example, of energy supplies to the UK for the foreseeable future? (For a glimpse of diplomatic intrigue and national intelligence read Deception by Adrian Levy & Catherine Scott-Clark)

Furthermore, ‘national security’ does not necessarily mean ‘for the benefit of the common man’. The security of specific economic stakeholders and major shareholders in Industry & Commerce is written into closed door policy making that is not always conducive to public good. War has always been concocted by a secret cabal of power brokers fighting over their enormous assets, land and capital, that they rent out or lend to the masses who for ages have used it to try and develop an economic order that eliminates the ungodly and unjust use of impoverishment and enslavement as their money making tool. The public have made little progress in this war on poverty because a hidden war is being waged on them by the rich who don’t want to let go of ill-gotten gains made by their ancestors. (For poverty and elitism read New Rulers of the World by John Pilger, Globalisation of Poverty by Chossudovsky)

Whilst major capitalist foundations, mostly dynastic, hide behind the Official Secrets Act that protects their activities from being scrutinized by the public, the idea of creating the social idyll always remains elusive, stretched out as one tediously long academic exercise like chewing gum.
What John Pilger has done throughout his career in TV journalism, I believe, is to gradually penetrate the heart of a political hinterland rife with shady diplomacy averse to common good, a ghostly Machiavellian State within a State, that we know exists like a Matrix. In this film he has pulled off a tour de force in investigative journalism that might not cause something as profound as the repentance of those who protest the Government’s truthfulness but may certainly breathe new life into the world-wide grass roots movement against archaic political systems.

Evidence of a Masonic type of secret power, necessarily for its own survival, can never be fully made known otherwise the entire edifice of authority and power will crumble very quickly. However, political intrigue and disinformation has never forced Mr Pilger to join the ranks of has been journalists who have prostituted themselves to the culture of deceit and propaganda in which the currency of exchange is to earn a comfortable life as a PR hack in exchange for political mutation.

Cabal science, deep tyranny

2010-11-21T13:32:00.004Z

The idea that we can control and regulate human behaviour by tweaking the chemistry of the body at genetic level using a whole substrata of toxic cocktails in the liquid that carries the vaccine is clearly the only direction that champions of a mechanical universe, in their present self-delusory state, can go. The mantra about ‘power over nature’ that has been injected into the public’s mental orifices for centuries by mainstream science and media cabals has inspired educationalists to devise a global agenda for getting the ‘science is our saviour’ mantra to the market as quickly as possible. And guess which organisations are in partnership with forums driving global objectives in controlling the platform for education across the world? Yep, you got it, the corporations that manufacture the equipment and software that enables partner corporations to have the most extraordinary power to gather deep and intrusive intelligence about every aspect of governance and manipulation so as to advance their economic and feudal expansion. Cabal science = culture of cabalism in the neo-lithic military industrial complex.
The vaccine issue is but a tip of the iceberg within the totalitarian ideology projected into the future by forward thinking cabals of highly advanced sciences. The top corporations that finance these cabals are using their ‘specialist’ expertise to facilitate and maintain their dominance in the global marketplace of food, labour, energy and raw materials, their total victory in economic warfare like in the blood letting arenas of Iraq and Afghanistan, and especially their integration with the military infrastructure of host nations - in which the use of the word ‘governance’ by the PR mandarins in Government has a somewhat ambiguous meaning full of contempt for the aspirations of a public that wants to see a ‘Government of the people by the people for the people’.
Science is not our saviour. Knowledge on its own does not provide a magical solution to the deeply divided personality of society and the divided self that contributes to sabre rattling national anthems out of its own traumatised and confused soul. Neither can it prevent tribal war narratives in media and education from aborting the foetus of selfhood before it can be born.
In the hands of people not yet born, science without a conscience has grown into a science of mass destruction in thought, word and deed. The writing is on the wall, ‘power over nature’ is just another way of saying ‘tyranny over self’.
To be born again in Christ is more than just mentally acknowledging a historical figure to imitate in some way, it means a total absorption of words that are in essence ‘spirit and life’ (as Jesus said of his words) that revolutionises the mind in thinking about ‘self’ and ‘selfhood’. Words make universes.

The man born to be the light of the world;
“I tell you the truth, no-one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit” “The kingdom of God is within you” “I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? No-one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven - the Son of Man who is in heaven.” “For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.”

Why do the cabalists of esoteric science, the priesthood of occultism and symbol worship, have an unspoken likeness of mind in education, in the media and in the industry of hedonism, to trivialise and render impotent the words of Jesus Christ that reveal universal aspects of nihilism and untruthfulness in the conspiratorial way in which men of learning use their esoteric knowledge to oppress and enslave the rest of society? Mmm?

Wolf in sheep's clothing

The Official Roman Catholic take on the relationship between Jesus Christ and the books that make up today's Old Testament is one that totally retrofits the personality of Christ to the personality of God portrayed by the Jews. One can see this as one of many fundamental erroneous decisions made by so called Apostles in the early Roman church concerning the mission and purposes of Jesus Christ expressed in their Encyclopaedia as follows: "Christ reaffirmed, purified, and confirmed the Jewish theology, both moral and dogmatic" The Cyclical then goes on to argue that Jesus asserted the spiritual nature of the Godhead insisting that we worship him in spirit as he himself said according to John. In this way the link between Christ's view of his Father and the Jewish portrayal is made to look unified by talking about the Godhead predicated by the prejudicial belief that 'Christ reaffirmed' the picture of God in the Old Testament books.
The prejudicial belief was based on the assumption that Jesus' reference to the scriptures of his ancestors amounted to a deferential reference, i.e. deference, as if Jesus needed the testimony of sinners to authenticate and verify what he was teaching as the truth.
The truth is not dependent on the Old Testament at all. The truth is entirely dependent on the teaching of Christ as the primary and ONLY source for understanding the often twisted theology and narrative of the Jews.
Through Christ it is possible to be set free from the Law to truly obey it in a way that confounds and totally contradicts the way the Jews think they obey the Law today.
The Law to love God is easy to do when you know God but impossible to do when your knowledge of God is obscured by scriptures that have not come from him at all but from the bipolar spiritual condition of both men and women whose morality was on a Switchback between two extremes of social and political behaviour. On this switchback of egotistical tendencies they both murdered their neighbours and their kith and kin while celebrating the love and faithfulness of God, thus demonstrating to the world for all time a bipolar and psychopathic view of God they had never seen in the flesh until Jesus came to show him without this awful characterisation.
The upshot of the Roman theological take on Christ is that Christians worldwide ever since have been snatched up by a wolf in sheep's clothing, feeding their hearts and minds on a description of God that is a complex and terribly frightening parody, a poisonous mix of old and new wine, of the old genocidal way of sin blended in with the new peaceful way of the sinless suffering passive Christ as if it were all one personality and will. Yeuch, what an insult to The Lord Jesus Christ.
Heaven knows what distortion of Christ the Bible has brought into the world and heaven knows what will bring this terrible chapter of deception and duplicity to an end.

Church and State : Freedom & Tyranny : Life & Death

2010-04-05T18:48:00.007+01:00

The initial position held in the 60’s by some authors of war and peace studies during international nuclear tensions tended to rely on the premise that war production is an essential pillar of economic stability and that a transition to peace through world wide disarmament would not be economically possible without a massive unilateral restructuring of the entire international banking system along with its interdependent national war economies. Billions of workers in global labour markets, who for centuries have been sponged off by the land and property owners who initiate wars, firstly would have to organise a revolution in thinking about who owns what, secondly tear down the governmental system that maintains nationhood for the relatively few who own its assets and thirdly produce a constitution for wealth creation that criminalizes excess. A real democratic revolution can never take place until the military industrial administrations are dismantled, the science and technology of destruction on which their owners have traditionally depended for political power is converted to socially beneficial enterprises, and a sweeping reform in education to totally debunk the renaissance of the materialist man and bring back a spiritual acclamation of the sanctity of life.

The researchers’ academic approach barely concealed an intention to use a mechanistic style of objectivity at the outset that avoided moral assumptions about the sacredness or otherwise of human life. The argument, often repeated with interesting but predictable variations, claimed to be driven by an objectivity not tainted or coloured by subjective ethical theory but by an icy rationalism willing to explore the idea of peace from within an intolerant forensic type of dialectical materialism. The first principle of this type of reasoning is to view humans primarily as components of an impersonal material universe and the second principle, which is contingent on successfully establishing the first, is to view humans secondarily as having value only when the first principle has been thoroughly proved to be true.

The agenda of materialists, believers in a purely material universe, in which the will and purpose of one individual is simply a mechanical part of a single will that pervades the cosmos (Schopenhauer), is to establish something like this as a first principle of truth through the school curriculum in State Primary and Adult education. As a tool for sublimely conditioning the receptive mind of the child, the school curriculum, like a church catechism, engages the student in perceiving rationality in terms of physics and maths, success in terms of economic worth and acquisition of matter, and meaning in terms of competing for and protecting possessions.

The Big Bang Evolutionary theory, taught as fact in the curriculum, is a critical element in the reasoning of materialists, since it lends credibility to their course material offering a causal explanation for the spontaneity of existence, negating reason for believing in a benevolent loving Designer and Creator God. However, whether they like it or not, the dimension in which this discourse takes place is a spiritual one since the terms of reference used in their ‘material’ brings into existence ad infinitum non-visible non-provable concepts of time and space. The endless circular arguments that have kept history alive since language and cognitive theorising ‘evolved’ 15 or more millennia ago suggests there is no locus for pinpointing the moment in time when man emerges from his ignorant state (Kant) but rather that there is a continuum, a state in which the pursuit of knowledge is experienced for spiritual purposes in the life of each being, that is not necessarily leading to anything conclusive for future generations in the intermediate or very distant future. The time space continuum theory for example, that involves theorizing about a parallel universe, would suggest an understanding of the concept of eternity from a different perspective; one that does not put a limitation on the possibility of other dimensions existing outside of our linear view of beginnings and ends. In this context Jesus Christ looms above all history of rational thought and cognitive development when He made it clear with absolute authority that He had come from another Kingdom that is eternal.

Sadly the first principle generally taught by a secular curriculum also elevates the will of man as the supreme force in the Universe and this is where the Church and State run into difficulty. The will of God and the will of man have always been a contention, which in purely psychological terms clearly indicates we are born to contend within ourselves, and the stand off between Church and the State as institutional representations of incompatible belief systems, nearly always manifests inner spiritual conflict in the form of armed combat.

The business of the State, of organising labour in particular, is to harness the productivity of its citizens to an economic system that notionally maximises stability and comfort for all. But this business is run by people who have strong personal ambition as well as broad humanitarian objectives, who are strongly motivated by the need to create something out of their short lives by appropriating meaning through possession of things that can be given a name or a title denoting an importance that elevates their self-image above others, which is part of the first principle of secularism. The necessary production of identity and of self image, of the elaborate construction of nationhood for example, to give meaning and purpose to a feral, earth bound, purely materialistic existence, requires the possession of a totalitarian type of political power by those who believe in this world view. Political groupings emerge that keep their group or class more dominant than others, who maintain a continuity of the historical significance of their class identity and value so that it serves as a kind of tribal rallying cry to the rest of ‘society’, the rabble, to believe in and follow them like sheep. The idea of having a share in a common purpose and a common identity, as a single unit in a cosmic whole, sounds gloriously wonderful but it still requires an image or shape to give form and meaning to the ‘invisible things’ the ‘humanitarian’ ideas allude to and these become objects, which over time, massaged by a historical narrative, become sculpted into idols and icons, statues, cenotaphs and memorials. Throughout history, people locked into a secular world view, have objectified their perception of reality using metal and stone, imbuing the objects with meaning and value by regulating against their destruction, and religiously preserving their constructs amid much artistic pomp and ceremony. Idol and totem worship carried over into the modern era has produced a cultural landscape littered with objects d’art that have become like gods adorned with the cornucopia of garlands, flowery prose and statutory importance.

Gods of secularism are stony creatures littering the landscape of man-made worlds that remind citizens they live under the political and economic system of an ordered universe kept in the ‘right’ political shape and ‘proper’ proportions of value and worth by a shadowy dynastic class who, with the aggregate power of their combined wealth in land and property, always muzzling a plebiscite, ensure the idolatry of a human centric universe is replicated across every area of society extending even to the architecture of religious buildings. Wealth and status leads to possession of a kind of political power that can open doors to executives of State who decide on policy, who themselves benefit most from the type of laws that regulate for example the low value of labour upon which their rapacious appetite for more possessions and greater wealth depends.

A demarcation of human value has evolved over time that we accept today as a norm. Eras of economic experimentation has resulted in a liberal acceptance of a system of worth measured by nothing more than a notional order of merit. In a meritocracy, some people are worth more than others and, taken to its less altruistic ends which happens frequently in history, significant populations end up at the bottom of a value system and are kept their by dominant groups claiming to have more merit than they. Politicians are good at raising their status and importance in this way, just like the aristocracy did in their day of political dominance. Meritocracy is an offshoot of the human centric philosophy that teaches worth is earned by what you do, by how much you contribute and by the level of commitment and risk taking but the bench mark for measuring worth becomes distinctly unclear against a backdrop of exploitation and abuse in the workplace by an employer motivated by greed. Egotism drives people to be winners in a survivalist impersonal universe of competing egos and to create for themselves a meaningful existence of some notoriety or importance that promotes their status above others, making them monsters in the arena of work where their inflated view of their worth translates into exploitation of many souls they believe to be of less value. (Adam Smith). When the first principle of secularism, of a human centric universe, is mercilessly applied in this way, the existentialist approach together with the iron will of the individual (Sartre) ensures the creation of social systems that always gravitate towards totalitarian solutions (New World Order) because under the influence of leaders and academics pushing a secular agenda the only means of controlling and regulating exploited labour is through the power of the collective ego of those who benefit most from their materially acquired status, of being the owners of the biggest slice of the gross ‘national’ economic value in terms of shareholding and property ownership. Under the influence of a narrow materialist philosophical mindset an economic depression is used by creditors as a device to re-assert their power of control, which is often done by devaluing the worth of labour using fiscal adjustments like the exchange rate mechanism, which decreases the value of currency, depresses the labour market, and increases levels of debt among the poorest.(Korten, Klein, Chossudovsky) At the heart of secularism the great god Greed always undermines the idyllic utopian world postured by political idealists who forever and a day preach ‘change’ from the hustings of their particular party. It is tiresome to hear the same rhetoric being preached from the pulpit every election while the political will for redistributing the excessive worth (therefore cost of exchange) of property and land remains elusive and demure, which is a situation that makes political parties look the most ineffective as innovators of real change.

Since the meaning of life, according to this secular curriculum, equates to accumulation of wealth and power, and the means is production of goods, and production is in the hands of the few who regulate the systems that control the production it is inevitable that the strongest and most capable will carve out their existence at the expense of those deemed ‘less capable’ and of ‘less value’. By keeping the ‘less capable’ and ‘less skilled’ on a wage that reflects their economic value within a materialist philosophical system of meritocracy, the cost of production is kept low and excessive money supply in the hands of the few is kept high. A cost economy in the hands of highly paid executives and politicians ensures that a low wage policy remains in force so that millions of souls are kept in a state of perpetual debt and poverty, perpetually indebted to those who control the money supply.

In his book ‘When Corporations Rule the World’ David Korten identified this nexus of political control as being the old boys network in a literal sense of old partnerships going back centuries. The business of the world is about possessions, possession means everything, a total rational religion of materialism, and the labour force that provides the wealthy elites with their protective armour against the attacks of the poor who have been robbed by them over the centuries is controlled by a Governing system their imperial ‘masters’ have created. A secular civil Government is all about elitism, and sucking up to the demi-gods in industry and banking.

The battle between Church and State in this very Machiavellian arena of creating meaning out of possessions is not just about the mechanics of social and economic justice, of discussing a methodology for distributing charitable pennies to the poor. Nor is the conflict meant to be articulated in the triumphal patriotic language of nationalism, which it sadly often is. (War on Terrorism). No. The battle is for the restoration of the spiritual consciousness of man, the opening of the mind to dimensions beyond metaphysical mutations and the reinstatement of the concept of Creation and a Creator God in the very centre of the school curriculum, to run alongside the concept of spontaneous creation promoted by champions of the Big Bang theory, as equal partners in shaping the abstract world of ideas that eventually evolve into real worlds of ideological and monopolistic political regimes and tyrannies (Totalitarian Democracy – W. Engdahl).

The battle between Church and State is a battle between two types of consciousness, attitude, meaning, priority, importance. The battle that took place between the representatives of the State in Israel, the Jewish Lawyers, Priests and Procurators for Rome, and Jesus Christ the representative of the Eternal State of spirituality, of the kingdom of heaven (which He said was within you) repeats itself ad infinitum throughout human history. Jesus is the archetype man bonded to God, prophet, king, liberator, knight, activist, teacher, friend, healer whose passion was for opening people’s minds to the spiritual dimension of time and space, to discipline and train the rational mind to exchange one consciousness for another, one kingdom for another, to transfer the world from death to life. His passive resistance to those who believed they had power of men’s souls even troubled Pilate. The Church and State are metaphors for the battle that rages within our minds, where spiritual forces emanating from a sense of righteousness cause the divided self and ultimately split personalities.

A battle between diametrically opposed systems of thinking impact upon the most vital and essential core understandings of what constitutes human worth and identity. One system teaches that humans are just like blank slates for writing on, easy to organise as slaves or, in modern parlance, as evolved apes, born without an image whose value is determined by demi-gods controlling the macro systems of production and trade, while the other teaches that people are created in God’s image and born with a value that is eternally sacrosanct and divine. The former system of thought has no means of producing judicial systems that can properly recompense those whose lives have been violated since the beginning of time by massive military industrial systems while the latter system of thought refers to a future time of recompense and justice, a final judgement, that will re-iterate the truth about how equal we are in God’s order of creation much to the remorse of those who thought they were gods.

Jesus Christ came specifically to reveal the truth about human worth but sadly the introduction of the Bible completely undid this truth and sent civilisation back to Old Way of thinking about God and Man that was seen as a kind of partnership in carving out a place called Heaven using science, the exploration of ways to equip the ego with the raw physical strength of a new implement of war improvised from a creative manipulation of the properties of metal and stone. (Pre-emptive Tactical Nuclear Missile) From Old Testament warriors to Christianity in a single phase that totally bypasses the truth that Jesus taught.

The Bible and the State have much in common but as historical narratives they have little, or nothing, in common with the treatise on human worth that God despatched from Heaven when He descended as man to Palestine.

Next: The split personality of the human race is mirrored in the split personality of the State/Bible.

Hell and the Military Industrial Complex

2009-12-27T15:48:00.007Z

While the nationalised citizen volunteers to fight other nationalised citizens, construed by their Establishment leaders and intelligence experts as the ‘enemy’, the benefits from victory, the spoils of war, always end up in the hands of the manufacturing elite. The bigger the manufacturer, in terms of its production capacity to inflict maximum human suffering, the more important they are as partners in the economic growth and expansion of dynastic empires globally, which is where political elitism gravitates. For example, a special consignment of 500 triggered spark plugs exported at $1000 each by a US manufacturer aware of their dual use can easily end up in the hands of the Taliban military establishment for use in triggering nuclear devices that will destroy both British and American soldiers in great numbers. Export controls are easy to circumnavigate when the main priority of a national industry is to provide superfluous comforts and luxuries for its consumer oriented culture.

Industrialists rule the world and are out of control, supplying both the ‘enemy’ and the ‘friendly’ fighter with weapons that are far too big for their brains, making their balls bigger than their intellect. Using a monarchical system of manufacture and supply, the creators of this military industrialised world have always plotted a course for the rise and dominance of the Nation State, which has brought citizens of the world into this unpromising century facing the precipice of an unmanageable period of conflict bringing unimaginable new wealth and unprecedented new power to an emerging corporatised super state owned by but a comparatively few bankers and dynasties. Soldiers are sent to their graves in blind allegiance to industrialists who dictate terms of engagement to civil Government. Inculcated from birth with the idea that they are serving a country, a prophet or a god, “Dieu at mon droit” or a mythical combination of all three, they serve only to make the few who are very rich even more rich and the masses in 'enemy' territory, who are forced to work for a pittance by their law lords, even more destitute. Someone needs to tell them to come home and to challenge the intelligence of their officers and politicians. Who is it that Jesus pointed to as the one who inspires people to steal, kill and destroy?

It is the monarchical elite, sitting in their ivory towers at the top of the military/industrial pyramid, that sets the agenda for the protection of their wealth and therefore their power. It is this political colossus that turned a blind eye in the 70's to genocide in East Timor, which was also prejudicially reported by the mainstream news wire who are part of the colossus, the phalanx. A monarchy in this context is a ruling elite that operates outside of and often antagonistic toward the rule of a public hierarchy of civil power, which is how Government and Parliament, Pentagon and the Senate, Military and Civil Society remain totally polarised. Like rabbits caught in the headlights of an oncoming truck when the senses are held in suspense, mesmerised by a flash of light that freezes every nerve in the body, the public never know what is falling upon them until it is too late. The East Timorians, by their tens of thousands, didn't have a single clue why they were being decimated by American hardware, until it fell upon them like a shower from the sky. The clue is that all the expended hardware made someone very very very wealthy.

Such is the Military Industrial Complex that it can operate openly, with headlights full on, while shaking the ground, and yet no one sees it crushing millions of innocent citizens until it is too late. It cannot be seen because it has adapted itself to be an integral part of the architecture of political life at every level, social, economic, religious, educational and industrial. There are no boundaries that keep it out because as a spiritual entity, matrix-like, it passes through walls, firewalls, penetrating the heart of human privacy. As chameleon it blends into the environment and like the Predator it strikes, wherever and whenever, at will. The people who maintain its corporate global size and its universal scope of extraordinary monarchical power and influence are the millions of career scientists, scholars, teachers, technicians, media professionals, politicians, industrialists and manufacturers who each subscribe to its ultimate goal as a spiritual power to bring about the ascent of man and the descent of Jesus Christ in God. Each and every citizen engrossed in their profession of a human centric universe (humanism), whether as professionals in welfare, education, health, commerce, industry, law, arts, media, entertainment and culture, are by default knitted together spiritually in a common cause of constructing an environment in which the concept of a separate spiritual kingdom ruled over by a loving God and a sacrificial Son is totally negated. This spiritual bonding is the flesh and bone of the Military Industrial Complex, which is avowedly anti-Christ and therefore anti-God.

The Military Industrial Complex is populated by a type of anti-God, antipathetic to a benevolent God, to a God who has promised justice regardless of failed human endeavour, antagonistic toward peacemakers, spiritually paraplegic, quixotic, unstable, deep in psychosis, paralysed by a bi-polar tendency to do harm and to do ‘good’ in equal measure without a conscience. Though, by its sheer weight of numbers, as a colossus of co-operating citizens working hard to materialise the promise of a New World Order prescribed by an intelligentsia pushing corny ideas about human good will, it may well achieve in a fashion the Full Spectrum Dominance envisaged by Engdahl. However, like the small minded terrorist, the citizen of a man-centred universe obsessed with using metaphysical mutations to transfer power from dominant theories to real estate, is just like his medieval predecessor holding up a pitch fork to assert a small minded idea about the meaninglessness and dispensability of life in a bloody revolution. Brzezinski would argue that a consensus is needed to give credibility to the pitch fork as a symbol of liberty since it is being held by a citizen believing in a commonwealth of national ideals and aspirations who is part of a critical mass of a hegemony that has the moral upper hand. On the other hand Brzezinski his little wit concerning what Christ has already established on Earth vis a vis the judgement of those who take the law into their own hands.

Next: The political union between Church and State, between what is achievable by Grace and by Raw Power, is held together by a Manichean Paranoia Syndrome that infects pedagogic thinking behind the UK and US Military Industrial Alliance. For example the recent symbolic appearance of an army salute at a football match in peacetime is unprecedented in the history of State Managed Propaganda but this is exactly the spiritual nature of the Military Industrial Complex; it can turn up at any time it likes to impact upon the mind, body and soul of the uninformed and the unaware. Bringing with it a spirit from hell.

Bow down Satan

2009-11-02T01:38:00.002Z

In pursuit of peace it is necessary to wage war. The arena for this war is a spiritual one and the weapons are words. My words are from Jesus Christ and my authority for speaking them comes from the one who has condemned the prince of this world Satan.

No soldier would put his trust in a weapon supplied by an outfit that is linked with the enemy and in reality no soldier has ever rejected using a weapon on these grounds because he is never in a position to make the connection. He has no understanding of the route by which his weapon has ended up in his hands, whether sourced by people and politicians in power on both sides who will profit from the war when they put their hands in the till after the proceeds from sales have been paid. For the soldier, dying in battle, the reasons he is given for risking his life are spiritual ones, expressed in the language of defending an ill defined place called the homeland, which is in reality a vast area of rock and sand full of cities and towns at war within themselves over race, status, wealth, class, gender, religion and ideology.
In reality the picture and image of a unified nation is an artificial one manufactured by those who profit from war. The soldier dutifully throws away his life because he is taught by his peers who run the military and educational establishments that he is defending a group of people unified under one flag and one nation and one religion. But these are lies. These are lies because it is war that unifies, not peace. It is not the national curriculum of peace studies that makes a peaceful nation. Instead, it is a national diet of war rhetoric, war history, war celebrations, war memorials and war plaques in churches, maintained by the peers of the realm, that creates a double minded psychotic people ready to flip their personalities at the touch of a button.

The creation and strategic planning of war makes an elite group of people very wealthy, which in turn has the social and anthropological effect of binding people together in a common cause to radically change their behaviour from being human to being distinctly and irreversibly inhuman.

Such a dichotomy of behaviour, such a twisted view of the value of life, is only possible when people are given weapons to use that, unknown to them, have been manufactured by their enemies. The enemies of life are those who manufacture weapons and it is these people I shall be exposing as the workers of darkness who serve only one lord and master. Satan, the destroyer of all that God has created.

Humanism: a euphemism for animalism

2009-10-23T09:39:00.005+01:00

The military industrial complex has evolved from a very Roman concept of Empire building in which the Constantinian narrative of Divine Retribution has been carried into Western cultures by a Church (often occultic) and State secularism. The ambitious policy of this type of secularism is to resolve everything by death and destruction. Christ is projected in this dubious arrangement as a crusader of righteousness against the axis of evil in other nations. Such an image is forged by scholars and theologians who are totally anti-Christ in every possible way.
Such a complex as this, now an economic zone spanning the globe, has no political centre except the pockets of a relatively small but well ensconced ragbag of war profiteers like QinetiQ, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raydeon to name but a few.
In the context of the evolutionist view the small incident in Syria concerning US helicopters attacking citizens is like a manifestation of the behavioural characteristic of the non sentient micro organism that has yet to evolve by intelligent design into a new species called 'human'.
The military industrial complex is essentially a form of political pathogen that exists in the body politic of humanism to hinder the animal species from evolving into mature humans. The transition from animal to human cannot possibly take place while such a virulent antidote to development thrives in the body politic of a God hating academia for example - an academy that cannot define what is human. They produce the flat earth society of humanists and nationalists, the type that produce social revolution without change, a tyranny ad infinitum, a liberal mind that frog leaps from one ideological and philosophical dogma to another until it gets sucked into the Full Spectrum Dominance of an American Military Dogma that has no concept of conscience or humanity whatsoever. Such a 'Christian nation', like its European counterparts, like its predecessor in Roman times, is totally antagonistic towards Jesus but obsessed with an identity and a destiny that is bound up in the imagery and symbols of pagan religious rites, practices and festivals.
The word 'human' is used pathetically as a linguistic tool by these Military Industrial Complex animals to distinguish themselves from their perceived ancestors but the distinction is terribly vague, intellectually sophisticated but meaningless. The existence of the military industrial complex, the juggernaut of political life, sadly, not only makes a mockery of all the citations and clamour about the advance of humanistic science since the renaissance of 'humanism' in the 'age of reason' but makes for a society deeply double minded about the value of human life, about distribution of resources, the purpose of war. See my videos on YouTube under the channel JesusvState.
Humanism is a mother of all sciences and the bearer of children incubated in the crucible of nihilism.

Crime flourshes - it is officially sanctioned

2009-10-18T11:08:00.001+01:00

Many groups of people conspire behind closed doors to exercise power over other groups to transfer possessions from people they have 'targeted' as suppliers.
In the shares and bonds markets traders are able to shift inexpressible amounts of money very quickly between markets which they use as a weapon to bring about change in public policy of the country they have targeted. This robbery takes place on a large scale every day by corporate raiders who act behind a wall of secrecy maintained by the US and UK Treasury.
Crime is least understood when it is reported by the mainstream news wire who tell you nothing about corporate crime because the scale of criminal activity is so LARGE it would destabilise Governments and their TAx Collecting minions if its nefarious system of whitewashing criminal syndicates was exposed to public analysis.
The petty crimes committed by mainly poor people full of anger and bitterness about being robbed by their Governments fades into insignificance compared to the crimes committed by tycoons of Finance and Commerce hiding behind their civic official status as ministers or senators of the State.
Governments use hardened criminals to do their 'dirty' work in routine espionage, counter intelligence operations and political subversion in advance of a full military offensive. So, crime is a word that needs clarifying.
Many activities of Government are unaccountable and in my humble opinion it is in the hidden corridors of raw political power where crime is committed and where injustices are meted out on such a large scale that no-one has the balls to stand up to their colleagues and say 'enough is enough' and blow the whistle.
Crime flourishes because of a gutless Government that cannot even deal with its own conspiratorial system of hiding its own nepotism and corruption.

Rats in the parlour

To answer a question on Yahoo "Will Muslims be the cause of WW3?"
WW3 is extant in the way the affluent Romanised cultures maintain war economies more efficiently than social economies. The belligerent Western mind has been trained to think *war* since the Roman legacy of punching a way to heaven has left its indelible mark on European Church and State foreign policy directives. The politics of the Western Union is all about *war*..

From which continent did the first 2 world wars emerge?

Home to banking cartels, dynastic rulers and the ideology of Machiavelli, this continent has spawned the mighty US military machine which has lost all sense of proportion. The upshot is a terrifying fulfilment of all that John saw in his Revelations on the Isle of Patmos in the 1st century AD when he saw a global trading power dominate a third of the world... et al

Western Governments use the Muslim Straw man as a scapegoat while they fraternise at high diplomatic level with Oil Sheiks who finance terrorism.

You the public are regularly lied to by Media Channels who are syndicated by these dynasties to operate as their PR to whitewash evil practices regularly carried out by the State Machinery of Death and Destruction that protects the interests of the tycoons and magnates who have taken over political control like an infestation of rats in the parlour.

God knows what is going on behind closed doors and he will reveal all as the Light of the World returns.

Liberty: a finite concept

2009-09-19T19:56:00.004+01:00

Not only do we have a substantial epistemological crisis in the world that has largely produced two irreconcilable strands of thought concerning the source of human identity but also a conflict of reason and intellect within them used by adherents of either strand putting forward their political religious theories. Science has always been underpinned by a philosophical narrative by those who need to justify a moral position vis a vis its destructive application but these days the dichotomy of fact and value, liberty and aggression, individualism and social engineering is requiring a new regulative process called ’the creeping tyranny of State intervention at the philosophical level’. Science is not the issue. The mother of all tyrannies is a philosophical one based on Greek Myths.

One strand argues the origin of human identity is God and the other, nothing but a void. The shades of grey between God and nothing is infinitesimal, compounded by the inadequacy of language, but the polarisation is a bipolar phenomenon. The polarisation of believer and unbeliever is widening fast, to such an extent that even local council directives in the UK have abandoned the non-aggressive libertarian tolerance of individual rights for the more legalistic approach of outlawing faith groups all in the name of the Greek Myth called ‘Democracy’. The reconstruction of society following cycles of self defeating conflict is like a merry go round; spinning on the mono-culture of the war economy. The urgency on both sides is to knock each other off the road map to heaven without having a single clue as to what it is that constitutes heaven, the ideal state of existence. Instead the epistemology is about regurgitating Ancient Ideas as a kind of continuity of design.

Expressed in this simplistic way the argument looks as if we have a crude choice between God or nothing, Heaven or Hell, eternal gain or oblivion. Without a deep analysis of the semantics of language, or indeed a full proof explanation for the etymology of every symbol, every form of expression, it is possible to organise any orthodoxy you like that will inevitably win a jury over to accepting your point of view. Winning the argument is what conflict is all about and the direction of a dialogue is generally driven by the one who possesses more knowledge than the other in this arena of appropriated knowledge.

Jesus Christ had few friends when he started out with his mission to talk about his identity as the Son of God. In fact, he had more enemies than he bargained for and spent a lot of time ducking and diving from stones and angry people (men and women). Cherished by the close knit community in which he was nurtured one would have thought that his life was secure in the hands of a society of friends who had bonded together in a shared common identity. However, as things turned out, this ‘social bonding’ turned out to have little substance when their terms of reference for their identity was suddenly put under the pressure of some criticism from their little ‘naïve’ acolyte. Social norms gave way to a much deeper spiritual identity that lay beneath the veneer of social etiquette and middle class posturing.

Jesus got up in the Synagogue, as was the custom, to read something from their venerable book of Oracles, while heads nodded, ‘Look, there’s our son of Joseph, hasn’t he grown up to be such a handsome young man…’ By the time this squelchy sublime approbation had oozed into their territorial minds, Jesus had already commented on the passage he was reading by telling them plainly that the person their Oracles had been blarting on about for centuries had arrived and was standing before them. No sooner had they wallowed in a little community pride, a much less benign thought had already rebooted their mental system – totally. Isn’t Windows frustrating!

Oh Gosh. Oh really badly, awfully Gosh. What happened next, as recorded by John with such economy, is the beginning of the movement of a tectonic plate underpinning the whole artifice of a nation and the uprooting of their spiritual anchors to their Oracles, which has been slowly shaking their foundations ever since.

The dichotomy of identity is expressed violently in this passage from John’s Gospel in the way the ‘bonded community’ reacted. Jesus had no friends and no protection when he was set upon by a mob at the beginning of his trek into the dark and murky world of philosophy. For a good reason he attacked their identity and immediately the dichotomy of fact and value, the polarisation of the fact they identified with their ancestors and the value they placed on it by abandoning any concept of the sanctity of life when they tried to throw Jesus down the cliff, is where the split personality derives its impetus.

This narrative of philosophy has undergone paradigm shifts since the eloquent reasonings by Socrates and Plato towards adopting a more sinister totalitarian lexicon that has today become a science of control and social engineering that quiet frankly would scare the crap out of the metaphysical world it is trying to manipulate, if such a world had a voice.

Well, it has. Jesus Christ rising from the dead is a manifestation of the metaphysical world but the philosophical narrative surrounding this event requires no instruments of social and political theory to prove their truth and their value. The words themselves bear testimony to themselves that they are true. Moreover, the way countless philosophical societies have ingenuously tried very hard to discredit Jesus is a testimony to the gravity and power of his voice. A voice from the dead is a voice that is eternal.

A friend of Christ is a friend of mine but his enemies are also my enemies. If social bonding is the key to social development then I would rather bond with Christ than with communities like the one that turned on the young man Jesus. The flow of hostility towards Christ is a corollary of his universal authority.

Communities in the UK are being shaped by an army of unbelievers in every section of society where identity with their world view is becoming less of an option but more of a social and ‘moral’ obligation. The philosophical argument is about cohesion, the headache of 19^th century rationalists, but the agenda is to win the perceived war against believers by using force; by using the threat and fear of social exclusion in Government regulated workplaces and/or imprisonment. Such practices reveal intellectual perversion.

Be very aware fellow followers of Jesus, the spirit that hated him before he was born, is a spirit that inhabits the narrative of secular philosophy, psychology and sciences. And they will have their way – for a short while.

Jesus points to an everlasting Kingdom that is way way beyond the asphyxiating and finite philosophy of aggression and violence.

Jesus trembled at the violence of the world the first time round but on His next visit the same narrative will be used in a slightly different context. The context will be as a means of judgment upon all the bloodshed caused by nations that have raged against him since Adam.

I'd rather be fearful of God than of irrelevant UK Directives trying to control life on a sinking ship.

Clumsy Political Science

2009-06-23T10:39:00.003+01:00

He said: "A debate has to take place and all views must be expressed. What better place than parliament for this? I tell you, we must not be ashamed of our values, we must not be afraid of defending them."

Monday 22nd June saw Nicolas Sarkozy make this ambiguous statement in the French Parliament, referring to ‘defence’ as being part of the parliamentary tradition of ‘debate’. The phrase ‘not be ashamed of our values’ is a worrying aspect of political rhetoric not in the least because there seems to be no moral high ground these days on which to peg values that give the right of one section of society to dictate by mob politics of parliament how another section of society should dress. In a multi-cultural, pluralistic, diverse society, where moral relativism is preached as the modern framework for social discourse, here we have a plutocrat telling the French nation that they must defend values that are opposed to the values of others. What Neanderthal values are these then?
Are these values expressed as part of a psychopathological back draft from the political psychosis de la French Revolution? On one side we have the French obsession with mythologizing their historical place in the process of social revolution where the endless rhetoric about a more equitable, fair and diverse culture based on compassion and acceptance is dribbled out in the EU, while on the other, we have a spokesman for a partisan intelligentsia, obsessed with subjective values ascribed to a mythical collection of people whose existence is inferred by the collective possessive pronoun ‘our’, as in ‘our values’, who proceeds to allude to a framework for the ‘debate’ with a not very subtle use of trigger words like ‘shame’ and ‘defence’.

Parliament is the place where mob rule takes place under the guise of ‘democratic debate’. Here, members are coerced by the Party whip into conforming to the type of political narrow mindedness that is exemplified by Party acolytes like Sarkozy who is clearly lost in a fantasy world of an internalised schema of values and beliefs from which he extricates himself by making a sublime call to arms of the Party faithful by externalising them as being ‘common’ values and beliefs in need of defence.

Party politics is mob politics run by little mobsters. Its mobsters naively – I hope – use subliminal references as a tool to incite the base instinct of the animal to protect an identity. An identity that is manufactured by the State anyway. (See my booklet ‘Blasphemy & Identity’) This is an identity of values and beliefs that is ideologically territorial, that articulates the defence by an invisible herd of people bonded by their occult tattoos, signs, symbols and totems, to erect barriers of social exclusion to ostracise and then murder their fellow humans. The nice décor of political science is its ability to paper over the spirit of murder and violence that lies just beneath the surface of a recycled Aristotelian sophistry.

An attack by State figurines on the religious practices of a group of people is an attack, not on religion, but on the thin veneer of their two faced politics. On one hand they use high minded principles of morality and ‘social responsibility’ to outwardly give credibility and intelligence to the political revolution of creating an utopian society, citing exclusion as a necessary evil (as do the lecturers from Zeitgeist), while on the other hand inwardly concealing a fear of difference that expresses itself in the language of defending an abstract collectivisation of souls under the vague title ‘our values’. In the Reith Lecture this discussion about identifying the purpose of social dialogue takes us into the very same region of mob politics, where information supporting particular theories is kept on track by the doyens of culture operating the push and pull levers in the twinned towers of Media and Educatia, to create enough critical mass in the public mind of an evidence based dialogue that can occupy the high moral ground for justifying inhumanity to man all in the name of ‘social progress’. Witless utopian gutter talk.

The war in the Middle East is the fruit of this kind of mob politics. The critical mass of public support for murdering their own kind in a far away land is properly kept on track by a sophistry of words that lulls the conscience into believing that the moral question of murdering men, women and children can be resolved by ‘looking at the evidence’. Even if these Neanderthals in power have to use the false flag operation to create more convincing proof of evidence, what is critical to them is the indoctrination of the public consciousness by a regular news feed that keeps the public mind anaesthetised from seeing the reality of the evil they support.

Jesus Christ is here to expose it all. Because He lives, therefore I am. My common bond is with Jesus Christ – the only human being who suffers not from psychological dissonance.

All the fabricators and engineers of fear in the State machinery of death will be exposed for what they are. DESTROYERS OF LIFE. Their two faced political theories will be exposed as nothing but a shoddy veil covering a deep seated psychotic hatred for Creation and The Creator.

God's love is amazing but human love aint....

2009-06-22T01:32:00.003+01:00

The idea of an emerging new world headed up by a philosophical junta boasting the supremacy of the human race over its environment is a very dangerous one. Not in the least because it is an idea that is as old as the Neanderthal whose offspring has produced a whole series of ‘civilisations’ that have mostly dried up through excessive blood letting.
The ideas proposed by the Zeitgeist sect are extremely worrying, for hidden within the sophistry is a logic reductio ad absurdum that forcefully reduces the individual to excepting that he/she is nothing but an extension of the group. The absurdity is menacing since non-conformity to this world view, that humans are an integral part of unified systems they call ‘natural’, necessarily requires regulation by a form of punishment called ‘ostracism’. I quote, ‘Your personal beliefs, whatever they may be, are meaningless when it comes to the necessities of life’. And what constitutes necessities of life I presume excludes a belief in a God who can love a damn sight better than humans can?
According to their perceptions of the ‘natural’ world, whatever that means, we are all connected ‘naturally’, like cogs in a big anthropological clock, and our success in creating this new emerging reality is dependent on conforming to their view that social integration only works if we deny the existence of a God whom they claim separates people.
This is a nihilist ground zero philosophy that at its heart is a sophistry concealing a hatred toward those who give thanks and who give verbal credit to God for whatever kindness they receive from their environment. It is only God who is capable of love anyway and it makes me cringe when I hear people say they love each other when they haven’t clue where divine love originated, and how undivine they are in their present state of sin.
‘We love you Mark, but get out of our church, you are ostracised for not conforming to our world view’.
Human love is always missing the mark in God’s eyes, that is why He came as Jesus Christ to COVER us with HIS LOVE so that we can be certain of God's love while living in a world where human love fails.

Christ v Bible / State

2009-05-17T15:00:00.004+01:00

There is a survival of life in the jungle that is breathtakingly exotic and abundant, that resonates with sounds, colours and smells we may equate with song, beauty, perfume. But there is a darker violent aspect of survival in the jungle that our imagination is perhaps not so eager to articulate in the same glowing terms.

We have inherited a language full of peculiar words, to compensate for this contradiction of aspect, which we use to blur the contradictions, to elevate our identity in glowing terms using abstract words like love and beauty.

The jungle is not beautiful at all though, it is a chaotic, mechanistic life system, where the survival of the fittest is the unwritten law. Where atavisms pre-determine the selections made within a short span of life reducing choice to nothing more meaningful than the maths of probability. Where life has no meaning other than to function as a living organism to serve no purpose other than being available as a product in the automated food chain and as a protector of territory.

This description is not dissimilar from the life of modern man where another jungle exists that has been created by a military industrial mindset directed by the archetypal territorial warrior who sees thousands of souls as expendable. Expendable in an economic system that maintains a food chain for the rich and just chains for the poor. Here people are statistics, whose probability of importance is expressed as a computation in documents that are sexed up to preserve the flimsy appearance of transition from beast to human, from a green jungle to a concrete replica. The Iraq dossier is part of humanism's attempt to re-classify the wild animal as human. How insulting to God it is that animals should have the audacity to call themselves 'human'.
The difference between jungle law and cultural law is a difference in language only. Sophistry barely makes any difference. So much so we use the language of art like the language of law to crudely justify behaving like animals so that a distinction can be made between the symbols that set us apart. But it is a crude distinction because the language relies on crude and meaningless abstraction.

This confusion has no lasting beauty and no future.
A consequence of identifying with nature, of looking for an identity based on obscure symbols and indefinite origins, is the emergence of a compensating definitive language, a legal system, to distinguish humans from animals, to bring order out of chaos ‘ordo ab chao’ by codifying behaviour, that makes the transition from animal to human, from sinner to saint, from wild instinct to consciousness of the divine, a visible proof of difference.

In the process new weapons also emerge to combat evil, to combat those who resist the transition, and the animal not only completely fails to articulate the divine mystery of being human but regresses to a state that is an embarrassment to the whole of creation. The regress is told as a narrative of ancient history which repeats itself ad infinitum into the modern age. We have inherited the conflict of personality in the form of ancient customs, beliefs and practices, which State and Church conform to with predictable outcomes.

As a consequence we think, we pray, we speak and we act out a language of the wild, which has no beauty.
But God who is always beautiful in Christ, holds out a hand of salvation and hope that one day we would conform to an identity that is true, which He has shown us personally in the life and words of Jesus Christ.

The science of unbelief

2008-06-23T01:31:00.005+01:00

It never ceases to amaze me how much time people spend creating an identity for themselves out of a set of ideas rooted in the quasi-intellectual narrative of science. There is a scientific approach to everything these days, including toward constructing business models for exploiting the weak to make the world a playground for despots and tyrants. Behind every scientific technique of exploitation and domination one can see the indelible influence of the psycho brigade, whose construction of reality wobbles precariously on a pinhead of a premise that the narrative of cultural musings and theories is more reliable than the narrative of Jesus Christ.

Great institutions hand out certificates to their indoctrinated siblings in a vain hope that pieces of paper will equip people with enough knowledge, and therefore sufficient material means, to construct a meaningful identity regulated and maintained by self – the very core of sin and idolatry.

Sciences that work toward the goal of seducing mankind into believing it has supreme authority over its own environment and has the power to be a master of its own destiny and its future are deluded. It is a delusion back dated to the day when consciousness of God was influenced by the science of doubting the obvious, when the prototype spiritual man Adam, doubted the obvious truth that his existence was neither man–made, nor an environmental accident, but a generous gift of God. It’s all right to be a free thinker but it’s daft to use free thinking as a means to die in your sin.

I am amazed how people spend their lives enslaved to the treadmill of constructing an identity based on the lie that nothing occurs after physical death, that God is not going to do what He has always promised. The illogical belief that life will convert to oblivion has become a global trade in the certification of atheism; and along with it the certification of nihilism where the definition of right and wrong is left to the vagaries of a ruling oligarchy. God is to moral relativism what Light is to the science of ‘self enlightenment’.

What Jesus did was to make it easy for the world to believe. How odd that cultured people strove earnestly in His day, and have striven ever since, to make it difficult for the world to believe in His amazing love. You would have thought that the full weight of atheism should have succeeded by now, after two thousand years of striving, but the opposite is true.

It’s impossible to kill eternity. Eternity is a person who never dies. They couldn’t kill Him then, and no forces on this planet can kill Him now. It is logically insane to try and kill off an Eternal Being. It is this madness of unbelief that spends all its energies trying to kill off a God of love.

A standing army is a denial of the love of God

2008-05-12T00:20:00.003+01:00

Civilisations come and go like dust blown about by storms; their protagonists and players propelled by a tempest that rages in the human spirit causes them to construct a world full of contradictions.
One of the most contrary constructions that troubles as many people today as it did in Jesus’ time is the ability of modern ‘civilised nations’ to construct two diametrically opposed social and political narratives of belief and consensus each preserved by a legal framework that preserves its bi-polar state of existence.
The legal narrative of one nation will justify to its inhabitants the righteousness of sending a standing army to wipe out the inhabitants of another nation while the same narrative will justify to its tax payers a large annual disposal of their tax to fund ‘humanitarian’ aid toward rebuilding the infrastructure of the environment that the narrative had justified destroying earlier. The atheistic belief that an act of violence is reconciled by an act of kindness is the stupid religion of Secularists and the law they rely on to support actions that cancel each other out is a pitiful joke.
Many ordinary people cannot reconcile the two faced persona of the law. On the one hand it is required by the British constitution that the Lord Chief Justice comes out of his closet and pronounces the war on Iraqi citizens as legal as specified in the highly fabricated Iraq Dossier. On the other it is required by the same British constitution to have a social conscience that defends the ideals of its socialist ideology by maintaining a foreign policy of humanitarian aid to those stricken by the consequences of war.
For their part, the British Government employ the best PR people that money can buy, like well paid journalists and parliamentarians, to make sure the public is sufficiently conditioned by fear to except the legitimisation of a schismatic and duplicitous foreign policy. The media dutifully play their nationalistic role as channels for xenophobia by using just the right level of repetition concerning a state of war; like using a commemorative narrative that portrays past British acts of war as noble; like revisiting the site of a couple of bombings by flashing pictures on the screen nearly every month or so as if we have been bombed to bits for the last 3 years; like ramping up the proud tradition of fighting battles by giving inordinate airtime and prime news space to past heroes wearing medals and to young heroes from the Royal family fighting for the great British empire in Afghanistan; like rolling out a programme schedule on TV that ensures the British public gets a regular injection of wartime memorabilia into their psyche and emotions. This is pure adrenaline, a whipping up of a war consciousness stirred up by the raging human spirit full of contradictions. The public, for their part, soak up all the propaganda and emotive images of dead heroes, and become confused by the legalese of multi-culturalism and religious freedom which grates against the state of war and the spirit of xenophobia and the fear of the foreign menace in their midst. It is the confused philosophy of humanism that seeps through all the impalpable rhetoric.
The political tension created by two diametrically opposed social positions mediated by the law lords in Government is bad enough for any would-be political idealist who harps on about a cohesive policy toward social integration. But for the youngster it is very bad. Violence is seen as something legitimised by Parliament and this surely sends deep psychological signals to the young offender that his angry violence is perhaps justified also.
The British public is exposed regularly to the same handful of pictures rotated by the media showing acts of violence perpetrated against a handful of British citizens. By comparison the massive acts of violence perpetrated by British and American forces in Iraq since 2003 has been given little or no coverage by the same media. It is filtered out by the major Western news channels who control the newswire much to the annoyance and dismay of many journalists who have risked their lives getting the pictures. The British public has become as schizoid as its Government in its attitude toward foreigners. It’s OK to kill them far away under the banner of a Righteous Nation but it’s not OK to be killed by them when they retaliate with the same Righteousness.

But Jesus Christ will have all nations come before Him at the closing of our time, where His words will stand as promised to judge all nations. All men and women who have been involved in creating a violent social order, whether as a criminal syndicate, or as servants of a violent Machiavellian realm, will face the words that Jesus spoke and He will ask,

‘what did you do in response to my Word about the love of the Father? Did I instruct you to kill and murder each other in the name of industry, nation, empire and of icons representing your sense of supremacy? No. Then depart from me and go to the place prepared for the sons and daughters of the evil one.’

You can choose life today or keep your self to your self for a short time. Choose the One who has taken away the sins of the world and who has defeated the works of evil, even while the works continue to manifest themselves in the raging spirit of those who have rejected Him; from Cain to this day.
Don’t be fooled by the rationale of atheists; it is full of false justice and duplicitous reasoning. Come to Christ while you have a chance.

War - the worship of Satan's power

2008-04-27T17:29:00.006+01:00

The idea of giving worth to people entails making value judgements based on information that is constructed in the imagination. People use this information to justify their actions, which vary in extreme from legitimising the obliteration of millions of souls whose ‘worth’ has been downgraded to that of an expendable ‘enemy’ to commodifying groups of people as being worth more than other groups of people because their ‘worth’ is measured in materialistic terms of economic or social status. The culture of idolatry, of worshipping stuff in the imagination, produces predictable social and political attitudes that in turn develop into traditions and conventions codified by the small print of ‘great’ institutions whose remit is to use every possible evocative artifice and symbol of power to reinforce the meaning of the idols and icons they desperately need in order to reify the supremacy of the human imagination. Worship is central to human activity, an extant need greater than libido, but when the focus is intelligently carnal it becomes slavishly feral.

People without a consciousness of a Creator who live day to day without giving a single thought about the prescience of eternity are prone to give worth to all kinds of putrefying nonsense cellophane wrapped in ideological waffle. Ideology that legitimises carnage based on the worship of man’s supremacy in the universe is one that sets in concrete the framework for injustice and cruelty throughout history and is promoted by depraved minds who mock the chapter when ‘God executes His justice’ at the end of time as Mohamed Al Fayed intimated on leaving the coroner’s hearing last month.

In a world dominated by ‘professionals’ who hate the concept of the existence of a supreme God, let alone one who excludes non worshippers from an eternal purposeful existence, the scripture that has evolved out of their musings down the centuries, which they rely on for propping up their materialist view of the universe is written in the form of endless laws that not only make absolution for the hatred of God but mediate more violence and mayhem than any religious tract or holy book I know of.

Political elites always reify idols of wood and stone to give meaning and tangibility to their absolutist atheistic beliefs, which become shrines to which they pay homage every year. Jesus slammed the Pharisee for worshipping shrines, which evoked their feral spirit to use their absolute laws to justify reducing the worth of His life to that of a ‘blasphemer’ so that they could have him executed with impunity. Such is the mind of the God hater.

In ‘Manufacturing Consent – The Political Economy of the Mass Media’ Noam Chomsky shows how people are unevenly valued by a shared consensus of worth within well established political, industrial and mass media hierarchies in the modern world. He spends a whole chapter on exposing the operation of a ‘worthy and unworthy’ filter, acting like an invisible electric fence, that deflects the direction and flow of news reports away from any image or story that might damage the reputation of the US internationally. The filter operates at all levels to ensure the national consciousness of power, prestige and righteousness is preserved in print at whatever cost to humanity and in the process the use of military thugs reduces the value of one group of people to that of a dung beetle compared to others.

The dilemma of nations and therefore of the many institutions they rely on for constructing national identity is that, in their over reliance on the structural integrity of military assertion as a legitimate means to preserve collateral and material advantage over other nations, they preserve the idea of supremacy over other people using the Hitlerian model of nationhood. Hitler legitimised the slaughter of Jews in the name of National Socialism, a palatable yet pseudo humanistic label. In the name of ‘Democracy’, another nice sounding word used by the intelligentsia of the ‘Western ideology fits all’ politics, the military/media infrastructure in 2003 legitimised the slaughter of Iraqi citizens; dragging yet another Lord Chief Justice out of the closet wearing jackboots to announce human slaughter ‘as legal’. Worship of self always leads to an obsession with ego, self-assertion, which on a national scale becomes institutionalised corporate obsession with objects symbolising the meaningful lives of unbelievers who support murder to get what they want out of life, which creates a landscape of shrines hallowing destruction; war memorials, war museums, victory parades, memorial ceremonies, flags, emblems, inane slogans like ‘God, and my right’, coats of arms and heraldry. All the institutions that play their part in massaging the identity of self in this maniacal worship of mankind’s supremacy over time and space is a role filled by God haters who know nothing about the eternal Kingdom of God that Jesus Christ established even before any sludge was formed on the Earth.

Jesus Christ came to give culture an opportunity to develop an attitude of worship that guarantees a civilised use of the world’s resources but high brow intellectualism, the voice that knows better than God, that spoke through the high brow intellects of Jesus’ day, has created over time a mega narrative that secures the role of atheism in our schools, universities, political parties, military establishments, hospitals, arts foundations, media, etc which in turn guarantees the worship of men and women, of heroes of mythical proportions, of ideological claptrap that guarantees conflict of material interests between nations and armies and industries each worshipping their own identity kits.

I beg you to listen to Christ and worship the God who created you while you have ears to hear the words that offer hope today for those who turn and repent but which also guarantees loss for those who stubbornly refuse the gift of life.

God and my right - nothing to do with Jesus

2008-03-18T19:31:00.003Z

As a hallmark and stamp of Crown Authority the word 'God' has been appearing within the design of a Coat of Arms on most ministerial papers issued from Royal Households since the 12th century and in a revised version from HM Government when Tax and Duty became a State office. “Dieu et mon droit”, meaning ‘God and my right’, is immortalised by HM Government as signifying rule and authority. Its meaning in the context of a modern multi-faith society that HM Government proudly boast is being shaped by their more liberal ideology has enormous implications for dotting the 'i' in identity as a nation. It is not a topic that helicopter heads in their PR and Media factories at Wapping or Fleet Street have much time for these days. So busy are they conspiring to deceive the public through propaganda and pseudo news (with the exception of Channel 4 perhaps) about the reasons for the debacle in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for the horrific waste of life their decisions have caused, they simply don’t have time to face up to the reality of what this phrase actually means.
The God who is given such prominence in the legal and military livery of British Royalty and her two poodles, Government and Parliament, must be very proud to receive such filial duty from such loyal servants. I rather suspect though God’s feelings on the matter are probably not quite as compatible as the Coat of Arms suggest. The word ‘God’ means nothing to a race that doesn’t honour the Son and equally the word ‘civilisation’ means nothing to God who doesn’t recognise many of its violent self seeking attributes in the secular history of it’s short spell on Earth.
If ever there was a case for using God’s name in vain then the meaningless repetition of it on a gold leaf emblem topped with a crown and a lion must stand out as the most long standing example. Not only is it pertinent to the case that no-one really knows precisely who this God actually is and where He has come from but, more to the point, no-one can agree on a doctrine that clearly defines His character, nature and form even when they do. Neither can people agree on doctrines to define the precise nature and character of socialism or nationalism. In both cases the canonical narrative upon which they build their beliefs is so full of vague and abstract terms, to do with values and measurements essentially egocentric, that even the laws and regulations they imagine will homogenise people into a state of peaceful co-existence are in fact passed by Church and State to justify the ceremony of violence, fear and intimidation.
The perception of God’s character, form and nature is as laughable today as it was when it was portrayed by the imaginations of men in the Old Testament who threw out His Son using these secular perceptions.
The idea of a ‘Christian’ or ‘Moslem ‘country existing anywhere therefore in eternity, or that God specifically invests in nationhood and tribalism, comes mainly from unbelievers who project their own ignorance into the heavens by vainly associating a big name like God with reasoning and ideas that are as flawed as the big bang theory. ‘We beat the Germans, the French, the Spanish, the Prussians, God gave us victory’ is a phrase as intellectually impotent and as vain as ‘God, and my right’.
The perception of God by unbelievers is so twisted what when I hear people in this country go off in a rage about religion causing war and conflict I can't but help thinking of the great symbol of Britishness portrayed by the elements that make up the British Emblem contextualised by a phrase stamped in gold that begs the question ‘which evil religion is this then that your taxes preserve in the form of an emblem of military and political mayhem and might?’ Eh?

Unbelievers imagine love exists; believers know it does

2008-02-15T00:32:00.003Z

Love does not exist except in the imagination. How we define it and then expect others to deliver that definition is in the realm of the imagination. It has never existed at all. No one can define what it is exactly, except poets and stargazers using their romantic and whimsical lyricism. Such philosophical muses and mysticism that relies on bucket loads of abstract words to define other abstract words is what professional theorists, like Foucault, use as part of their philosophical construction of meaning.

In a pivotal phrase in a discourse on origins of things like power and knowledge from Power/Knowledge p131 he says for example:
‘Truth isn’t outside power. …Truth is a thing of this world; it is produced only by virtue of multiple forms of constraint. And it induces regular effects of power. Each society has its regime of truth, its ‘general politics’ of truth; that is, the types of discourse which it accepts and makes function as true, the mechanisms and instances which enable one to distinguish true and false statements, the means by which each is sanctioned…the status of those who are charged with saying what counts as true.”

Using abstract words like 'outside power' to argue perhaps that human consciousness is not subject to anything outside of its own imagination may seem an authoritative argument for the origin of truth, as part of an Open University module, but in reality it is nothing but an atheistic discourse for atheists, for people who have 'internalised' reality using a set of clapped out hand-me-downs from other people who waffled eloquently.

For example, take this line from one of Socrates many muses:

“When desire, having rejected reason and over powered judgement which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.”

How do we translate these little expression of something that does not exist? Is he saying that love derives its power from desire that should not listen to reason or judgement and is therefore right? The premise he uses is that desire exists in some quantifiable form and the curious logic that follows leads to the conclusion that desire is right if the motion is violent enough to expel reason and judgement. So, if I was to love like this I would be right if I rejected reason and judgement and let desire, inspired by beauty, to move me violently to set myself in the direction of pleasure? Isn’t this a recipe for rape? Whichever way you look at it, this pleasure centred grasping of love is about as reasonable as imagining laws to justify carpet bombing a city full of innocent people because their ideology and religion is obnoxious to you. The reason it is laden with unreason is because the logic Socrates used in this one sentence to define love is totally bound up in trying to understand something that does not reveal itself through things like beauty, desire, corporeal forms, violent motion.

All these things are not going to help people to understand love. If beauty is the essential inspiration for the experience of love, for the transition from desire to love, then what of ugliness? This is part of nature too. Ugliness also exists in the world and in many guises, in hatred, in pride, in jealousy, in selfishness. Do these also inspire Socrates to love, or are they expunged from his version of reality? And if they are expunged, then one must expunge the people who carry and show these traits because it is they who bring these things into the world. So his love will exclude a lot of people and if everyone excluded a lot of people on these grounds, love would not spread very far. In fact love wouldn’t spread at all. Unless of course beauty is in all things, in attractive looking bodies, in attractive looking material, in attractive looking dust, as well as in things like murder, treason, hatred, jealousy, deceit, selfishness, pride and anger. But he talks of ‘beauty’ that gives ‘pleasure’ that is born out of ‘desire’ and so to avoid the paradox, the double speak, the confusion that threw Adam when God said one thing and the Serpent said another, Socrates would need also to talk of ‘murder’ that gives ‘pleasure’ that is born out of ‘desire’. From here, he would have great difficulty to show whether love was good or not.

The words that Socrates used, if you place them in any order in his statement about love, have no meaning other than the ones trapped in his mind at the moment of writing, which for students that treat his writings as some kind of canon in the development of thought alarmingly equates to the emperor's new clothes. Lecturers throughout the world who teach on the subject of philosophy and reason often give academic status to stargazers like this one. Stargazers' imagined truths about love, who for centuries have wrestled with its constraints and demands as if it were a God, has produced a mega-narrative that teachers quote from as if it were the absolute canon, a foolproof benchmark for social development and political science. It is but the fantasy of people devoid of God's Spirit.

If Socrates’ writings are construed by academics as some kind of benchmark in the development of philosophical enquiry into the nature of things that their students will find edifying I’m afraid they’re going to be more confused than he was. The methodology behind reinforcing ideas by cross referencing within the narrow field of a canonised selection of scripture emanating from one or two people’s imagination based on quantity is how indoctrination is mastered. The Jews had indoctrinated themselves with ideas about God and love that were not only entirely at odds with His Son but portrayed a cruel and unmerciful God of their imagination.

When Jesus came on the scene and started talking about the love of God He was immediately branded a heretic and a brigand. The reason for a wholesale rejection of His teaching about love that culminated in His humiliation was not only caused by the sin of corporate unbelief but by centuries of indoctrination by cross referencing within a canon of scripture deemed unquestionably authoritative as a definition of love and therefore of (God).

For only God can communicate love. The human race is incapable of communicating something that exists only as an idea in the imagination as 'they' clearly demonstrated when they hammered nails into His healing hands that had touched those they cursed and into His feet that had trodden hundreds of miles with messages of love and forgiveness.

Neither have I experienced love from those who confess it toward me, both inside and outside the church, for they too are incapable, as I am, to express something for which we have no pattern or blueprint, no form or definition, no example or standard by which to measure its height, breadth and depth other than in the life of a man who came to show it in all its fullness - Jesus Christ. No wonder 'they' wanted to kill Him. He was a light among men that exposed the substratum of lies upon which they had built their cultural edifices.

But I know the love of Christ and it is a sad thing to know Him fully in a world that does not know anything at all about love. It does not know because it worships the scriptures of men. Atheists worship their sages and intellectuals, Christians their Bible, Muslims their Koran, but few of them know the love of Christ.

"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world" Jesus prayed.

In this short age of man love is as elusive as meaning because the words that cultures have used for eons have no authority to identify what is truth; imagination has no authority other than to do good and do evil in equal measure.

Read Jesus' words, I implore you, before you die in your sin.

Authority and Christ, the abuse of law

2007-12-11T18:44:00.000Z

The reason for the emphasis on authority in relation to Jesus Christ is very clear in my mind on this blog but perhaps not clear for those who have some alternative ideas about how authority works in history.

The political driving force behind the rise and fall of civilisations centres on the use of authority and its usage relies on a strong legal narrative that imbues human will with god-like powers to decide who dies and who lives. ‘It is right that some should die for the benefit of the greater number,’ gives a flavour of the kind of reasoning that infects the political process of legally endorsing the authority of tribal or State violence.

Jesus Christ came to show that the authority of political systems relying on this kind of moral philosophy is responsible for inbreeding and multiplying the very attitudes and ideas that undermine its own survival.

The presence of war in the world is a testimony of the abject failure of the human will to exercise responsibility and care for itself and others. Sin is the cause. The solution is not within the grasp of any human power, whether or not regulated by law, for it is the law that divides the human will against itself by sanctifying the wholesale slaughter of its own kind. Regardless of the boasting rhetoric of high culture, the verbosity of academia that makes it all look so shiny and successful, the freak show of human power is but a glitch in eternity.

Authority is a serious problem for those who don’t understand its purpose and even many Christians have been sucked into the most common of all fallacies about secular authority being part of God’s rule and authority.

At the end of the day, there are two types of authority. One is man-made and it is about legalising evil. The other is CHRIST-made and it is about stripping the authority of those who believe they can legalise evil. The former is an aggressive authority that dominates by force and its three dimensional form restricts it to a finite history. The latter is a passive authority that dominates by meekness and its spiritual form goes well beyond the small-minded world of materialism. The weapon of the first type is a physical implement and the second type a spiritual implement that cause death and life respectively. The one personified as a murderer by Christ is the same one who tempted Him, with the small mindedness of materialism, to dump his spiritual power of obedience to the truth for the tantalising offer of earthly obedience to sneering lies and innuendo. War is a manifestation of the mind of satan that has inspired lies and murder since the beginning.

The question of authority is also a question about the nature and character of mankind therefore, which is answered by its long history of bloodshed, bloodshed caused by both religious and secular hierarchies sometimes working together, sometimes independently, but in a unified attitude toward the purpose of ‘authority’. The kingdoms they form, using geographical, economic, intellectual, ideological or national boundaries rely on authority in a brutish way and this way has no mandate from heaven – even if it were sought with loud prayers and fasting.

The Kingdom of Jesus Christ is an eternal Kingdom that does not advance by violent means other than by the spoken Word and by the Spirit of God who reveals the meaning of the spoken Word. The Word that became flesh and dwells among us today is able to teach their meanings to those whose sin has been removed. Words that are inherently inclined to violate the minds of those who rely on the mediating authority of their laws and conventions to justify their violence are still just words. If a knife or a gun, or a hanging rope or wooden cross, is all that underpins the authority of the human race to improve itself then I have pity for those who have lived their lives by such a loathsome understanding of authority.

Christ wants to rule in the church first....

2007-11-19T23:06:00.000Z

Postmodern skepticism among members of a large floating church would be overcome swiftly if church hierarchies disengage themselves from the blatant lie suggested by the canon that all the instances of the Old Testament portrayal of God is a true and accurate description of the nature and character of God. Until stubborn men and women within these hierarchies stop pushing an insulting theology of retrofitting the life of Christ like candy floss to a sinful scripture about killing and stoning people for their sin, the floating church of disillusioned and disappointed Christians will continue to drift around looking for the reality of Jesus in the church.
For over 33 years, in my journey through churches of all kinds, Anglican Charismatic, Pentecostal Free Church, Pentecostal House Churches, Evangelical Missions where I have prayed and worked with Spirit filled Christians I have had many confide in me their confusion about the nature and character of God that is linked with an uncertainty and wariness of the Old Testament being so closely unified with Christ.
Moreover, I have observed a general 'head in the sand' attitude by everyone toward the very very serious problem of Jesus being retrofitted to the Old Testament. 'Nasty stuff in the Old Testament but let's talk about Jesus today... .. and everything will be alright' typifies the way leaders opt out of facing up to the dire offence to Christ that the Old Testament causes by exisitng as Holy Writ. Everything will never be alright until the canonised appendage of sinner's lives, that suggests Jesus endorses everything they said and did when they used God's name, is weighed and tested at a judgement seat that has only One Person sitting on it.
It is time to stop this nonsense of trying to uphold a tradition of blending old and new wine into one Holy script simply because of its long history. It is time to accept that Constantine, favoured as a holy relic of Rome's hijack of the church, was nothing but a bloodlusting warrior whose dream about Jesus giving him victory in battle was nothing but a worship of the Roman god of war - Satan himself. The destroyer and liar from the beginning.
God has never instructed any man to kill his neighbour - this is a lie from the pit. Unless of course you live out of the Old Testament because, like Constantine, you believe Christ is a God of war and destruction.

Thesis 153

2007-11-11T09:39:00.000Z

“You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

The Bible answered, “You are right in saying the Bible is a king. In fact, for this reason it was born, and for this it came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to the Bible.” John 18v 37

Jesus is the shortcut to understanding the truth but the long route is paved with sinner’s thoughts and ideas; the source of much speculation and division. If you want a sound mind I recommend you feed on the mind of Christ only and NOT on the mind of men born in sin. Words canonised by miniscule councils in a miniscule region of time and space will no longer be of any use when Jesus’ words are all that remains after heaven and earth has passed away.

It is worth considering the Word that became flesh, and dwells among us today, was born by the Holy Spirit as sinless flesh that physically rose again BECAUSE Jesus was born with authority to raise Himself to life with these same sinless words. The voices in the Bible were NOT born by the Holy Spirit as sinless flesh but were inspired by God for the sole purpose of preparing the world to only feast on Jesus as the Truth; the effect of contentious voices in the Bible upon the spirit of men and women has been cataclysmic.

For Christians who are confused about the often dual personality of church dogma and of many believer’s often confused description of the nature and character of God, you might find it interesting to consider also that the reason for the confusion might be because the second hand breath of the spirit of man might not be as reliable a vehicle for portraying God’s character and nature as the first hand breath of God is that CAME FIRST when Jesus, as indivisible from the Father, breathed on Adam with words that told him to feed off His voice – the right tree/vine. Separation from God came into the world through Adam who gave equal credibility to the voice of a sinner, Satan, -the wrong tree/vine. Instead of listening to Jesus’ voice, whose words came first because they have always been reliably holy and true before the foundations of the world were laid, Adam, like Judas, listened to the sinner's voice as 'authority'.

We have inherited a Bible that demands we feed off the words of sinners. Don’t you think this is a bit of an insult to Jesus Christ who went to the extreme of debasing Himself on the cross to separate us from sin?

Thesis 142

2007-10-15T22:44:00.000+01:00

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."

Who then has given authority to a Bible that contradicts Jesus when it has already been given to Jesus before the Bible was constructed? Certainly not God. For, He has already given ALL authority to His Son before the world came into existence and in no place has He indicated there should be an authoirty of scripture appended to the authority of the Word that became flesh.

The Bible is an example of arrogant men usurping the pre-eminent role of Christ as King, Christ as Teacher, Christ as Saviour and Christ as the Canon.

Thesis 141

2007-10-14T12:01:00.000+01:00

The Old and New Testament splits the personality of God into two diametrically opposed testimonies.

On the one hand we have a testimony given to us by sinners of a warring God who instructs His creation to disobey His first commandment by striking down men, women and children in cold blood, which is a lie from the pit.

On the other hand we have a testimony given to us by a person who is not a sinner who has commanded us, on the pain of His own death on the cross as the Son, to obey the first commandment and NOT kill each other; not with the sword, nor with the words of sinners.

The split personality of God created by a man-made Bible will split the personality of those who worship it and they will become like the Pharisee who was utterely divided between the law and grace, but who eventually evoked the law to kill Jesus.

God does not have a split personality. His personality is Jesus; only Jesus Christ.

Thesis 140

2007-10-14T11:21:00.000+01:00

"All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture".

The Bible gives canonical status to all who ever came before Jesus, whom He describes as thieves and robbers but the sheep didn't listen to the canon.
For centuries the church has been listening to the canon of thieves and robbers instead of obeying the plea of God to honour Christ and honour His words.
To honour the Bible is to dishonour the Son who died for the pre-eminence of His own voice.

The Bible - a millstone placed on Christ's shoulders

2007-10-12T18:13:00.000+01:00

It is hard not to feel pity for Christians after looking briefly at the historical development of orthodoxy in church life; of a community of people so disconnected from the author of their faith and so disjointed in their thinking about the essential character, will and mind of God, that whenever there is a ‘free’ discussion about the Lordship of Christ immediately one is overcome by the spiritual oppression of Rome.

Whatever Jesus came to do you can be certain that man has very studiously and busily made a very complex religion out of it since. The experience of God is a simple affair but immediately when the Romans got a sniff of people worshipping Jesus instead of their warring and angry God they applied the rules of faith like a tourniquet as soon as expediently possible, to stem the flow of Christ’s healing blood and congeal it with the doctrinal straightjacket of half-wits and Spiritless authoritarians. Rome had established itself with the iron foot of canonical authority long before the Gospel message penetrated the heartlands of their political influence, but when it did, they immediately set about transplanting their iron feet onto the ecclesiastical body of authority that was already clad with the clay feet of the Old Testament. Before the sapling church could grow in Christ they crushed it to death literally, spiritually, theologically, economically, ecclesiastically, with the wine press of a Roman way of thinking that was almost kith and kin to the Old Testament way of thinking. Jesus got dumped as the authoritative voice from Heaven the moment the Bible was compiled. Nice one Rome, but don’t think you can celebrate much longer.

As a result of fundamental errors in understanding the role and purpose of Christ the church suffered an early imprisonment to the thoughts and traditions of men instead of to the words and teachings of Christ. An imprisonment that expresses itself in the many denominations that have arisen since in which membership of a rigid formulaic system of belief is a prerequisite for acceptance, which is a process entailing attitudes and beliefs that are often at odds with its pioneering origins. Christ is sidelined, orthodoxy is rigidly imposed by an authority that Christ has not endorsed.

Not even Brian McLaren, writing in the parlance of next wave orthodoxy, under the title of ‘A Generous Orthodoxy’ could get his head around the source of the problem.

A problem it most certainly is. My contention is that the Bible is the problem. A book that presents Christ as a product of culture rather than One who brought the law in word and in the flesh that challenges the culture of men who came before and after Him. The Law, reflected by the Prophets who tried unsuccessfully to champion the Law, came as a living testimony of it, requesting politely that we listen to His voice and none other.

What the Romans did, by stuffing Jesus in the Bible, was to 1> Disobey Christ 2> Twist His words to mean something that He never intended.

The root problem of Christian theology is that it has been constructed using a bastardised foundation stone. Consequently the whole structure of Church life sits uncomfortably on top of a rubble of words canonised insolently by architects under Roman patronage who later enjoyed fiscal and political benefits connected with the anti-Christ like system of ecclesiastical authority and control. Their very actions demonstrated they didn’t have a clue what Jesus meant about Him being the cornerstone.

The word ‘Roman’ stands for the culture and ideas of a band of thugs who chucked out the Etruscans, who set up a dynasty in Rome, and then expanded by creating wars with its neighbours, then by writing laws and canons to subjugate their newly annexed lands, then by punishing recalcitrants who expressed a personal wish not to be collectivised or 'catholicised' by the State. This is a pattern that repeated itself in the administration and development of their bonehead ideas about a catholic church under the see of Rome. They hijacked Christian belief for their own egotistical purposes and chucked out Jesus as the Priest of His own church.

My advice to any believer who is confused about the way the Old Testament presents a testimony of God’s character that is wholly different to the testimony that Christ brought is to read very carefully ‘Beyond Christ Authority is Evil - 96 Theses’.

Justice by those who hate Christ

2007-09-30T12:47:00.001+01:00

Without there being a baseline against which all values are measured, judgement becomes an abstract word. If the baseline is the same for all justice then the judgement being meted out to Saddam Hussein for killing his own people should be equally employed against George Bush and Tony Blair for killing people in his country. The problem is that one side believes the Bible is inerrant and can be used to condemn ‘sinners’ to death whilst the other side believes the Koran is inerrant and can be used to condemn ‘infidels’ to their deaths. In each case, the words and imaginations of men, the father of lies, produce a situation of gross hypocrisy on both sides. And satan loves every minute of it.

How can the dead hear?

2007-08-24T13:24:00.000+01:00

In response to one of those many emails I get from Malaysia or Nigeria trying to solicit money by false pretenses

Dear Amin
God knows what you are doing. He has already raised His first Son Jesus Christ from the dead to watch over all men until they eventually meet Him for an interview when they are all raised from the dead by Jesus' voice. The first Son is looking for others to follow Him. He has already found Moses and Elijah, and they have recognised Him as their Lord and Saviour, they have repented of their ways and now follow Christ..

Just as Jesus' raised Moses and Elijah in order to give the Jews a clear message about His authority over the dead and the living He will also raise you. Whether you die tomorrow or in fifty years, you will meet Jesus Christ in the same way as Lazarurs did who heard his voice while he was dead in his grave. And now the Muslims have become like the Jews, worshipping a God created in their own image after their own imagination.

How do you think the dead can hear Jesus' voice?

"I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man"

And don't think that I am talking about physical death. I am talking about those who are dead to God while they are living, who are spiritually cut off from His presence, which is a state of death that only the Son has the authority to change

"I tell you the truth, everyone who hears my word (singular) and believes in Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

Amin, have you crossed over from death into life yet? Have you understood that sinners and evil doers will have no place in God's kingdom?
Neither they that kill, that steal, that lie and cheat, that treat women badly. No 'Muslim', no 'Hindu', No 'Buddhist', No 'Spiritual Man', No 'Christian' has a place in God's kingdom without the blood of Christ washing away their sins first. Many call themselves by a religious name but this does not transfer a soul from death into life. A cultural name is just a cultural name. Sin is a condition that separates people from God and you can tell they are separated from the love of God by their actions. If George Bush confesses to be a Christian on one hand and then orders troops to kill his neighbours in another country he is separated from God, the Pope who might rule over the same destructive hierarchical powers as Bush is also separated from God. Bin Laden, who orders people to kill their neighbours is also separated from God. In fact any one who thinks he can earn a place in Heaven by killing another person is already dead to God. The only god who kills, destroys, steals, lies, hurts and cheats is satan. Satan inspired the Jews to kill their neighbours just as he inspires Christians and Muslims and Sikhs to kill their neighbours today. None of these people are alive to God, He considers such people who listen to satan as dead and cut off. Just as satan is dead and cut off from God so are those who listen to his lies.

Will you come to Christ today Amin? Will you let Christ come into your life and take away the sin that cuts you off from God? If you do Amin, I guarantee that God will make your life a temple for the Holy Spirit where He longs to live. God longs to live in the heart of man. He has no interest whatsoever to live in temples, buildings, cathedrals, mosques and pantheons. These are places where the dead worship dead idols.

You see Amin, once your sin has been removed by your confession of faith in what Christ as done for you, the chasm that separates you from God will be bridged by God's hand reaching out to you with an offer of membership of His Royal and Eternal Household of Children who are all made in the image of the first born Son Jesus Christ.

Will you consider your life in the light of the truth that Jesus brought? Or will you throw away God's gift of eternal life.

The spirit that condemned Christ

2007-08-22T12:19:00.000+01:00

I don’t know which is worse. Christians who repel other Christians as reprobates whom they superficially judge as needy of sanctions and exclusions to conform to their Old Testament view of ‘holiness’, or a nation judging another nation with phrases like ‘an axis of evil in need of a regime change’ or ‘Sadam Hussein was evil who needed to be wiped out’. Both positions reflect a narcissistic attitude that was endemic in the Jewish culture, which Christ has always been trying to put an end to once and for all.

God came to establish Christ as the ruler, the judge, the shepherd, the teacher, the pastor, the lover of men’s souls. God has never intended that man should sit on the throne of His will and execute it on His behalf as teacher, judge, leader and shepherd who lords it over others. This idea of men lording it over other men is totally alien to Christ, and therefore per se to God.

The Old Testament is a testimony of the ways and imaginations of a people caught up in a relationship with God who proved to be the hardest and most recalcitrant people to receive the truth that Jesus brought to them later in the flesh. Jesus had visited them many times before. The word of truth became flesh and dwelt among them in the form of individual characters who were occasionally inspired by the law when he came alive in their hearts to obey His command to love Him and their neighbours. Christ has always been the living law and the living grace.

Most of the time, however, they hated and destroyed their neighbours believing in a form of ‘holiness’ that was nothing to do with the ‘holiness’ that Jesus was trying to communicate to them. The idea that holiness is achieved by ridding the world of evil, first by ‘soft’ sanctions and exclusions and then by ‘hard ones’ completing the process of separation by social excommunication or by physical death, becomes demonic when men believe they possess the power of God to take the law into their own hands and become judge and executioner on His behalf. This kind of thinking and understanding that inspired these people to throw Jesus down the cliff, to conspire against Him as a social reprobate, to call him a blasphemer and an ‘evil doer’ and to eventually have their ‘holy’ way and crucify Him thinking they were doing God’s will, is a kind of thinking that has infected church life since the Romans retrofitted Christ to the Old Ways Of Men. Sadly, the Old Testament, in this context, is a lie from the pit. Suitable for Roman ideology of empirical rule by iron, by fist and by bloodshed and war but not for God – sorry. Nothing to do with God.

The bi-polar position of cutting off a member of God’s family as ‘evil’ and as a ‘reprobate’ or as a ‘blasphemer’ and of then testifying to the love and inclusivity of Christ is what signifies the contention between the Old and the New Testament, between a narcissistic deterministic soul and an effaceable passive one. The contention is resolved by the blood of Christ that reconciled ALL men and women to God. It is not the role of the church to judge who is failing and who isn’t but it is God’s command to nurture personal obedience by reinforcing TRUTH from Jesus not LIES from the pit.

Church life would be revolutionised if God’s people worshipped Christ instead of a book that suffocates Him.

Evolutionist mindset: a crisis of conscience

2007-08-11T00:05:00.000+01:00

We can now watch man’s inhumanity towards man more or less as it happens. We can watch missiles and smart bombs raining down on our neighbours from the comfort of our living room and watch blood trickling from dead bodies that have just been torn apart by a suicide bomber. We can watch the drama of war as it unfolds after it has been ethically and politically sanitised for prime time family viewing on our news channels.
So familiar are we with the clever way in which life is realistically portrayed by actors and film-makers using the latest digital gadgetry we could be forgiven for watching real human tragedy as if it were entertainment. The thin line between reporting and entertainment becomes even more blurred when films portraying reporters reporting on war become so close to the real thing that it is almost impossible to tell the difference.
One of the most poignant and perhaps most devastating examples of inhumanity is the two atomic bombs dropped on innocent families by American aircrews over Japan in 1945. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were vaporised, that is, totally annihilated, by the Americans within a month of the first Atomic bomb being built. So much in a hurry were they to ‘test’ the power of their new technology that the aircrew were not entirely convinced their bomb load would perform as reliably as their superiors said it would. In the light of the story that was eventually given a viewing as a documentary over cable networks to the American public as late as 1999 one cannot find words to understand why successive Western leaders have committed themselves to inhumane atrocities ever since.
It is totally beyond all boundaries of reason and common sense, in the light of recent history, for any country in the post-modern era of the so-called ‘age of enlightenment’ – of rational thought that gave us the human renaissance in the 15th century – to engage in acts of brutality for the purpose of securing justice and democracy.

But reason and common sense are not naturally occurring human traits, they are learnt through the specific codified language of our education and our media. Here you will find the double-mindedness of people proudly calling themselves ‘academics’, whose absolutism is expressed in one column bleating on about the sanctity of life when a member of their own society is blown to bits by a ‘mad Islamic terrorist’ but readily defend in an adjacent column their absolutist moral justification for the brutality and murder of innocent families who are not members of their society. This kind of absolutism murdered Achan in the Bible.

Reading the front page of the Daily Express dated June 7th 1944, which I happened to find in the loft the other day, I couldn’t find a single word of disapproval for the amount of carnage going on in Europe at that time. In today’s papers the same community of double-minded journalists croon and whine about man’s inhumanity to man while supporting the principle of ‘self-defence’ in Iraq and Afghanistan. If for one moment in their lives they can’t make up their minds once and for all whether having a standing army to kill others on their behalf is not equally as repugnant as terrorists having a standing army of suicide bombers to kill others on their behalf then they should put down their quills and shut up. It’s simply no good one day writing columns that lend passive support to a killing machine because they wear British/UN/US uniforms labelling them as ‘defenders of democracy’ whilst on another, aggressively criticising a another group labelling them ‘terrorists, enemies of democracy’ because they wear a uniform/language/culture that is alien to our Western ones, without making any attempt to confront the problem of a cultural and national pathological disease defined as self-righteousness. No case would stand up in a court that argues for killing the innocent in order to combat evil but this is what schizophrenic journalism does in some quarters.

The same can be said of those who responded to the terrible slaughter in Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the cry ‘foul’ in one breath and then, in another, type on their typewriter ‘it was a necessary evil’. It is not necessary to talk but it is necessary to do evil. In fact the ideology of war, fundamentally believing that slaughter is a necessary evil to save the world from evil, has proved in Europe to be the greatest cause of human suffering, but it is horribly presented to children in our schools as heroism worthy of honour and pride. Schizoids run amuck in our schools.

"It was to me the most horrendous, terrifying thing I had ever seen," camera operator Herbert Sussan, who's now deceased, said in a 1983 interview with the BBC. "I finally convinced myself and some of these people that there was some value for the rest of the people of the world to see what had happened in this first bombing."

McGovern and Sussan were two people who tried to gather original unseen footage connected with the slaughter in Japan but U.S. government officials at the time deemed it too sensitive to release and they confiscated black-and-white footage that a Japanese film crew shot before the Americans arrived. In the interview on the BBC they told their story how they managed to get their hands on the vital footage necessary to show the American people the part their country played in the massacre of tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children. The production was shown nationwide 60 years on from the event. Such is the guilt of a nation that it should use officialdom to obfuscate and delay the making of an important documentary.

What they had hoped from this documentary was some kind of intellectual break through that would bring clarity of thinking to our paragons of Western culture, to our educationalists, our academics and our scholars, to perhaps help them deconstruct some of the Old Testament ideologies that have influenced the direction of our culture far too long. May be they thought that the footage would awaken deep compassion for fellow human beings among our educationalists whom they thought might respond by pushing harder for a curriculum that praised pacifism and scorned the traditional social practice of dressing up war memorials and of preserving weapons of mass destruction like trophies in museums and of celebrating the heroic acts of thugs on horseback and in tanks. Perhaps they even hoped for a total disarmament.

The educational aspect of denouncing vile weapons of mass destruction, of constructing a coherent case for the total disbandment of a standing military force and of presenting an intelligent alternative to the tripe about ‘noble bloodshed’ clearly remains an anathema to the machinery of State education. But that’s secularism for you.

The prognosis among those who discuss the issue of war in public and who watch fellow citizens proudly display their trophies of war on the internet; the US soldier his endless photos of bodies scorched by phosphur or torsos ripped apart by shells; the Terrorist his footage of decapitation and blindfolded journalists, is that the secular conscience is very sick indeed. By ‘human being’ I mean collectively the secular world that no longer has a conscience that can be trusted. Who knows what Christless powers will decide next, with their cauterised view of a species they foolishly believe has no loving Creator? Which community of people do you think is next on their agenda for being wasted as part of an over all strategy for blessing God’s planet with their constructivist demented Foucaultian view of what constitutes ‘civilisation’?

There’s going to be gnashing of teeth alright.

Military: a manifestation of ignorance

2007-07-03T10:42:00.000+01:00

What our ancestors did in their time to earn the label Industrial Revolution and have it immortalised as a peer point of progress is no different to the rapid expansion of the rich and the rapid oppression of the poor in the current age. The only difference is the rhetoric. Today it is the spectre of Global Warming that is making the poor people suffer, yesterday it was the spectre of disease and before that it was the spectre of Lions roaming the streets of Rome.
The hyper activity of people pursuing fame, fortune and posterity has created first our cities, then our transport systems, then the means to mass production, then the global markets, then the global politics, then the science of control. All the while the gap between the rich and the poor has steadily widened; with magicians in the middle placating the conscience of the rich with data charts that show conclusively the poor need educating.
Hidden behind all this hustle and bustle is a militant spirit, an iron will to succeed, that needs to grab what it can on the pain of death before the doors close at some ill-defined spot in the future when all of life’s opportunities are lost forever.
The madness of busyness, of pursuing dreams about possessing an untold quantity of atoms and dust, has created a world system of aggressive opportunism and stultifyingly egocentric goals that is militarily political, militarily economic, militarily educational, militarily philosophical and, ergo, militarily cultural.
To convert dreams into reality, to bring into existence a future that you have imagined for yourself or for your community or for your nation, it is necessary to control those around you by insisting on their conformity and acquiescence to your will. The path of less resistance to realising your goal means anyone who gets in your way becomes an obstruction.
The engine of this very aggressive and egocentric human endeavour is fuelled by the belief that life on Earth is a temporary experience that needs to be filled with every possible sensation of happiness before it expires. The Industrial Revolution poignantly illustrates this point: that a belief system based on lies will always bear bad fruit. The bad fruit is war and the industry of war; the competitive, nihilistic, bombastic activity of one upmanship.
The reason for war is simple. Based on the belief that life is short, the whole of cultural development becomes a focussed activity of getting as much as it can out of this life before it disappears. Anyone who obstructs this development is going to experience the militant characteristic of the corporate will of the body politic that believes in this religion of materialism. A body politic that uses violence to move obstacles out of its way is nothing more than a glorified bully of the first order. A punch drunk bully that sees obstacles as an individual, a neighbour, another tribe or another nation. A militarily equipped culture is a culture of punch drunk bullies ready to oppress those who are unwilling to live a life that lines up with theirs.
A belief system like this therefore is the primary cause of war. It is why God came to us as a man in Christ Jesus to refute this belief system as an unworkable set of ideas, pointing out in a prophetic way the consequence of pursuing this kind of belief to its bitter end. In fact, rocket science is not required to understand what precisely will occur as a result of holding onto a belief system such as this. It is a belief system, a belief not a science, that states your origin is unknown but it conceals from you a hidden clause that also states, “Believe this if you want a restless life full of unfulfilled yearnings and dreams, always under siege from others who, like you, believe you must be moved out of the way as an obstacle to their ‘progress’ in life”
What is required is the Light to be switched on in the subterranean world of half-lit minds thrashing about in the darkness of a flesh centred existence and for that Light to shine in the darkness and overcome it. The Light already shows that salvation from war, mutilation and self-destruction is not achieved by combating it with war, mutilation and self-destruction. But those who persist in this way of the flesh will never know the Light. A closed mind is a mind with eyes shut wide that refuses to see the truth even when it barricades itself against the door. God tries to break through our stubborn unbelief so that we can be saved from destroying each other.
Jesus cried out aloud, “When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no-one who believes in me should stay in darkness.”

The Making of a Recalcitrant Public

2007-06-30T18:13:00.000+01:00

The Government's perception of the public will is based on a top down view of what is meant by the word ‘sovereignty’. The idea that a King or a Government had the sovereign right to rule with an autocratic system of direct control may have been the system since the age of primitive civilisations like the Romans but that fact that it still shapes how people in power today view the word ‘sovereignty’ makes our system look positively derelict.

I have heard politicians often repeat the axiom that the public need to be represented by politicians because of the gap of knowledge between what the politicians profess to know and what is available in the public domain. In other words, the only way the public can exercise their sovereign right to rule their own affairs is through the elliptical and sometimes very discursive top down prism of information the State presents to them via a system that still does not open it’s corridors of power to proper public scrutiny. (A reading of the transcript of Dr Kelly’s interview with the Parliamentary Scrutiny Committee concerning the affair embroiling the BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan and the Internal State Machinery of Security suggests that Parliament has severe limitations when it comes to actually practising the safeguarding principle of political representation.

The word ‘sovereignty’ in this context takes on a rather dubious meaning that describes a political system bearing the characteristics of an autocratic State in practise and a democratic system in theory and rhetoric only.

The Government’s perception of the public is always based on the presumption that their collective knowledge of prognostic and diagnostic data concerning the future security of the State is a collection that the public would quantitatively and philosophically endorse as their priority for agreeing or disagreeing with the policies that eventually crawls out of this data pool as the beast of ‘Government Directives’. This perception is born out of a historical view of the public as being the ‘rabble’ that needs to be managed and controlled in every way possible other than by referendum, which is a perception that underscores the obstinate resistance by Government to the DEMAND made by the PUBLIC over centuries for a radical change in the system of governance.

My feeling is that the longer the Government delays referendum politics the more ungovernable the citizens will become. The more the Medieval characteristics of cronyism and autocracy resist change the greater will the public psychosis of rejection and detachment build a deeper mistrust of their peers until the whole megalith, whether full of intrinsically good and well intentioned people or not, from the Tax Office down to the Local Planning Authority, becomes so fractured and dysfunctional it creates the poltical cradle for another authoritarian regime to be born. It is the viscious cycle of A RECALCITRANCE.

The IRAQ WAR is a classic symptom of this ISSUE that undermines the fundamental right of the PUBLIC BODY to choose their destiny. It will not be buried by other events, regardless whether the events are orchestrated by Government. Government ministers will be held to account when the public eventually will be forced to act against the Government, to register their contempt and disillusion, by being aggressive and non-compliant in the work place, in their relationship with the police who represent Government autocracy (in their eyes), in their dealings with all State run institutions and services, in their view of the press and media whom they regard has having close ties with the seat of power in Government.

All in all, the Government is ignoring the signs that will lead to a greater alienation of the public, perhaps in areas that the Rowntrees POWer Inquiry did not cover, and the ensuing gradual breakdown in authority and rule, as we have seen with youth descending into nihilism in recent years, will be a situation that the Government has brought upon itself by being arrogant, distant, and deliberately insulting public opinion with their twisted perception of the public will and intellect. Increased civil disobedience is inevitable.

The Pentagon may well think they have sufficient contingency plans for the economic fallout from global warming that is fore casted but I doubt their crowd control technology will be able to neuter hysteria quite on the scale they imagine, which is a contingency that the UK Government is most likely to imitate like everything else they have imitated since the last world war.

My apologies, but Christ is all there is.

2007-06-23T23:51:00.000+01:00

It is hard not to feel pity looking at the historical development of orthodoxy in church life; of a community of people so disconnected from the author of their faith and so disjointed in their thinking about the essential character, will and mind of God, that they spend more time ministering to each other’s hurts, suspicions and fears arising from doctrinal oppression through thought control than reaching out to a world that has not experienced the saving grace of God.
What Jesus tried to do was make the experience of God a simple affair but immediately when the Romans got a sniff of free thinking believers ‘following the Holy Spirit in an attitude of love’ they applied the rule of faith, the doctrinal straightjacket of half-wits, the rubber stamp of ecclesiastical authority, on a spiritual Kingdom that has no beginning, no middle and no end and certainly no master other than Jesus Christ.
As a result of fundamental errors in understanding the role and purpose of Christ in the world the life of the church suffered an early imprisonment to the thoughts and traditions of men instead of to the words and teachings of Christ. An imprisonment that expresses itself in the many denominations that have arisen since in which membership of a rigid formulaic system of belief, often at odds with its pioneering origins, is a prerequisite for acceptance. Christ is sidelined, orthodoxy is worshipped.
Not even Brian McLaren, writing in the parlance of next wave orthodoxy, under the title of ‘A Generous Orthodoxy’ could get his head around the source of the problem.
A problem it most certainly is. My contention is that the way the Bible has been presented by the Roman scholars as having contents entirely God breathed is a very serious indictment of all the Christ taught about the supremacy of His words. For example, a book that presents Christ as a product of culture rather than One who brought the law to bear upon human culture, is a book that mixes the humanism of unrenewed men together with the humanity of God that did not require renewal into one homogenous canon called the inerrant word of God. The inference is that the lives of sinners reflect the same truth as the life of One who knew no sin thus creating a testimony of man and of God on equal footing, which is exactly what happened in the Garden of Eden.
The Law, that the Prophets tried to champion, came to us in the flesh as a living testimony of its perfect form who requested politely that we listen to His voice and none other.
By stuffing Jesus in the Bible in the careless way they have, the Romans 1> Disobeyed Christ 2> Then twisted His words to mean something that He never intended.
The root problem of Christian witness has been that the foundation stone upon which the whole building of the Kingdom of God, a spiritual Kingdom, was designed to stand has instead been laid on the rubble of other writings by Roman architects who by their actions demonstrated they didn’t have a clue what Jesus meant about the cornerstone.
The word ‘Roman’ stands for the culture and ideas of a band of lunatics who chucked out the Etruscans, who set up a dynasty in Rome, and who then expanded their economic and ideological hegemony by creating wars with their neighbours (in similar fashion to today's Globalisation of the American Culture) , then by writing laws and canons to which the then known world was forced to obey and to be collectivised into or suffer the label of heretic or enemy. (Sounds like the Bush speech, 'Either you're for us or against us'.) A pattern that repeated itself in the administration of the Christian belief that they hijacked for their own egotistical purposes.
My advice to any believer who is confused about the way the Old Testament presents a testimony of God’s character that is wholly different to the testimony that Christ brought is to read ‘The Bible that dethrones Christ and the Bible that doesn’t’. It is a book that will give you an invigorated view of what the axiom, 'Jesus is Lord over all things', means in reality and it will give you a clue why so many Christians, throughout the history of the church, have erroneously believed there is scriptural basis for embarking on bloody crusades against God's creation. Satan has duped many into forming false religions based on lies, of which perhaps the most extreme manifestation is the Illuminati whose adherents exhort each other to insult Christ by following a man-made orthodoxy that cannot distinguish the difference between Lucifer and God.

God does not inspire holy wars

2007-06-18T11:27:00.000+01:00

I have always been perturbed by the cultural practise of getting rid of evil by murdering people and then using transfer ideology to replace murder with ‘justified killing’ as an explanation for evil actions. The complex ideas that support the transfer of meaning from one word to another to explain the difference between two kinds of murder very often calls upon an entity or truth that does not exist in reality.

For example, the idea that God instructs people to murder each other in order to get rid of evil, has no basis in truth. Its not that God doesn’t exist; it’s the warped view of God that for millenniums has been instituted by man as an orthodox religion. Nor does truth sound very convincing coming from the lips of lawyers and priests who deftly argue that it is OK to murder a few people if it benefits the greater number.

With regard to the divine inspiration for murder that people believe is holy and just I regret to say this does not stack up with the revelation of God that Jesus made fully known to the world two thousand years ago Jesus Christ repudiated the source of this abominable idea in the face of those around Him whose father He described as Satan, the murderer and liar from the beginning, who believed that the divine inspiration to murder people was the truth and with this truth they believed they had divine authority to devise every tactic to get rid of Jesus because they regarded Him as evil.

The idea then that Christians can wage holy wars or crusades against evil by murdering people does not come by inspiration of the Holy Spirit but by the inspiration of the evil one who has been doing this since the beginning of time.

Satan’s time has come to an end because his lies have now been exposed.

All things have been committed to me by my Father

2007-06-18T00:41:00.000+01:00

“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him”

The idea of knowing God by revelation is not new. It has served ancient people back in history since the beginning of time and, until Jesus came upon the scene, the reliability of the revelations about the form, character and will of God has been a somewhat contentious matter. Jesus showed to both the Galileans and the Samaritans that the conduit of the human spirit as a reliable source of knowledge was highly suspect.

For many cultures the greatest difficulty in defining who God is, in terms of specific attributes, is discerning precisely where the external nature and character of God begins and the internal projections of mankind’s imagination upon God ends. The less troublesome solution is the belief that God has no separateness but inhabits everything as an amorphous spirit devoid of a distinct and authoritative personality. Generally known as the pantheistic option it is the easiest to adopt because it requires no obedience to a higher moral authority even though it requires the ego to surrender itself to a higher consciousness of an impersonal being who/that is totally without shape, form, character, will or purpose other than being a large spiritual pool into which the collective human ego is dissolved. Cosmic consciousness does what it says on the tin, ‘Reduces the substance of God to a state of mind’

In a vacuum of identity the human spirit is capable of forming whatever picture of God suits it’s existential purpose in order to find meaning and identity beyond the material comfort of a short and meaningless existence. A myriad of words have been formally canonised by various cultures as reliable scriptures for defining who God is and a priesthood is officially delegated the responsibility of ensuring these canons are written into law and into death as the ultimate weapon of imposing conformity of thought and ideas. Both religion and philosophy have their guiding priests, whether by inspired unction or by scholarly regimes of truth, both roles are simple - to control.

Jesus comes along and turns the whole priesthood idea upside down by saying things that humans aren’t allowed to say. Doing away with priests as the vehicle of definition for the character and form of God he informs his listeners that the priest from heaven has arrived. Some took it rather well, except the priests, philosophers and lawyers. They were threatened by his outright challenge to their authority and they only wanted to see him dead as soon as possible. No man spoke like Jesus. None that have come before him nor none that have lived since can come anywhere near explaining the gravity of eternity. What compelled Jesus to speak in this manner is based on knowledge he brought with him as a person who has always existed. With this knowledge he came as the priest of a canon that is not written anywhere but in the mind of God who came as flesh to dwell among us. He referred to scriptures that his immediate hearers were familiar with and certainly he endorsed whatever agreed with his canon but whatever didn’t, he chucked into the bin. ‘You’ve heard it said, but I say to you this..’

But the priest reveals nothing without it being operated on by the Spirit of God. Jesus words meant absolutely nothing to the world that heard him then and to the world that hears the same words today there is no understanding without his Spirit revealing what the words mean. The few who understood in his time were those to whom the Spirit of God chose to reveal himself and this act of God hasn’t changed since the beginning.

In the next part I will explain exactly the reason why this revelatory understanding is necessary for a relationship with God and why the gnosis way, the way of acquiring knowledge by auditory synthesis without repentance, is an attitude that blocks the open communication channel between God and man. Predestination is a word for eternity that does not fully describe it’s prescient nature. When eternity speaks, it is with words impregnated with the fragility of the present.

The obsession with a linear existence

2007-05-09T18:08:00.000+01:00

Atheists are obsessed with a starting point because without it there would be no progression from point zero toward a constructed world that can be boasted as entirely the product of man's efforts. For them, time has to be linear otherwise the efforts of the human species would be meaningless and it's constant struggle to shape a better future would be futile.
The alternative to a 'random' 'accidental' starting point in the formation of things is a Creator of some kind and so the question is more of a statement of belief than a rational question. It is not rational to have a starting point for existence because 'existence' by it's very nature can never be articulated as having no existence as its precursor. So the question will always be asked what came before the starting point and where did the energy come from to make the start? It is like trying to describe oblivion with words that bring into existence form and substance - the antithesis of 'nothing'. Therefore, belief in time as a linear phenomenom, has no rational basis and if the best it can come up with is the Big Bang Theory then it is probably worse than no theory at all! To describe the unknowable with such pedantic certainty, that relies on a false premise, is a sign of desparation - of clutching at straws in the face of such a marvelous and awesome creation!
What started the thing that came before the thing that ignited the other thing that created the 'spark' that fueled an explosion that flung endless galaxies into space? But what started the first thing? And, when you have worked out what started the first thing, you then have to go back a further step and ask the same question 'what started the thing that started the first thing?'
The problem is the question cannot be answered rationally and any answer has to rely on faith more than on reason, which places the person asking the question on equal footing with the believer in God who asks, 'How did God 'make' Himself'?
If only you would study Jesus' words, you'd understand eternity and how everything else perfectly fits into it.

In the name of Churchill, Stalin, Napoleon , God, whatever

2006-08-07T00:30:00.000+01:00

In God’s name many people do horrible things to each other in a way that is not at all different to the horrible things that other people do, who don’t use God’s name. They are no different from each other. The only difference is that some use God’s name whilst others don’t. Essentially, the people who do horrible things to one another behind the authority of words are the same type of people - horrible.
A few of the many authoritative words that people use are ’Allah’, ‘Democracy’, ‘God & Country’ ‘Security’ or just simply ‘God’. Do you think that by using God’s name, it automatically confers God’s blessing, as if God endorses everything we do because we use one of his names? Is this an honest way to conduct our lives? Is it therefore honest to argue that God must be horrible because many people do horrible things in his name? Its like describing the Aston Villa Football Club a band of psychos because of the mindless violence of a few of its supporters. Likewise, do you think that by using the name of a country, it automatically confers the country’s blessing?
So, as the evil young men flew the Airbuses into the Twin Towers crying ‘Allah!’ ‘Allah!’ we must assume that Allah was complicit in the evil they had planned, must we? Is it not a fact that God’s name is used like a cleaning utensil to wash the conscience clean and give the impression that its OK to be horrible, as long as you use a respectable sounding word like God or Country. The Old Testament people did this.
Unfortunately such acts, together with the vain words that precede them, have nothing to do with God. In fact, God is somewhat ashamed of people who constantly use his name in vain. They have been doing it for thousands of years. Likewise, the evil people who drop bombs on men, women and children in Iraq, or anywhere else, are as horrible as the evil young men who knocked down the Twin Towers. By dipping their tongues into a lexicon taught by their respective teachers and then wagging them in the air as if the name of God or some other word or phrase has the power to absolve them from their evil deeds, they show clearly they have not fully understood the truth yet. And how can they be expected to understand when the people who control what is taught in our schools and our churches vehemently oppose the teaching of the truth? Broad is the pathway that leads many to the fire of hell.

“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgement. Again, anyone who says, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell” (Matthew5v21-22)

The practice of using God’s name or any other high sounding word as a kind of justification for doing horrible things to each other is not new on this planet. It is this fervent religiousness with which teachers and leaders of his day committed themselves to plan murder and then to get others to carry out their plans that caused the Son of God to rebuke them so often. What the enemies of Christ did in his day are no different from what the enemies do today who sit as leaders in their war cabinets to devise hideous ways of killing innocent people by mass destruction and who then get others to do the killing for them.

“Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speak his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John8v43-44)

This business of plotting to kill people is deeply distressing, especially when the people who do the plotting today are the same respectable pillars of society who tried to silence Jesus. The very same teachers and leaders. Moreover, the entire edifice of today’s Government has been built over the centuries on ideas that give authority to men to plot the destruction of innocent people who live in distant lands, who pose no threat to us whatsoever. These ideas are embedded in our educational system that teaches our children to regard war as heroic and to respect those who kill for our sakes. We think we can justify these ideas by using some kind of holy mantra like, ‘For God and Country’, ‘Regime Change’, ‘Holy War’ or ‘Defenders of the Faith’ or ‘War on Terror’ ad infinitum. The fact of the matter is, horrible acts of violence are horrible acts of violence and they are not actions that can easily be whitewashed by a language that relies on some higher ethical authority whether as a direct reference to God or to a collection of words enshrined in our statute books. Verbal whitewash, like sanitary towels that keep clean the outer parts, may give the appearance of respectability but cannot absolve the menstrual violence within.
If the holy mantra brings death to innocent people then it is the mantra that is evil as well as the people who speak and teach it. Using a higher authority like God’s name, or the name of a King or General or Country or President, as a justification for violence is all in vain and gross hypocrisy. The mantra is evil.

“Woe to you because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your forefathers who killed them. So you testify that you approve of what your forefathers did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. (Luke11v47-48)

Predatory institutions that inscribe the cult hero worship of mass destruction on the tombstones and war memorials of our national consciousness are no different from those that murder the innocent in war. The hero worship of mass destruction is most horrible. Doing horrible things to one another is not sanctioned by our hero worship nor is it officially justified by the ethics committee of the State who maintain our tombs and shrines of war.
The light of mankind is so darkened by shadows cast by the totem poles, sacred cows and marble altars that give tribute to people who have killed and maimed through the ages that it is not surprising the language of our art, education and politics has become so encrusted with the idea of killing each other that even Church leaders have succumbed to it. Within these shadows we imbibe each generation with a view of history that glorifies the deeds of men of war. The glory of violence is the testimony of our history books, the same testimony of men from the Old Testament. These same men stared at Jesus with the very same violent eyes of murder as they planned his death because he exposed their murderous hearts with a new language of truth to which they were not accustomed. They had become so accustomed to drinking the old wine of the testimonies of men that the testimony of God Himself, spoken from His own lips, was a new wine that could not be contained in their crusty old wineskins.
What Jesus began he will finish. Whoever you are, whether Oxford atheist, academic historian, theologian, BBC journalist, comedian, don, cardinal, commander, scientist, plasterer, king, whether you can’t or won’t understand the truth that Jesus has revealed, it is going to accomplish what he has promised at Cana. The truth is not negotiable.
“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out – those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.” (John 5 v 28-29)
By his own death and resurrection God has clearly demonstrated his management of life and death as Son of Man has nothing to do with the testimony of men. He came with great humility to show us our evil ways by letting the teachers and leaders of his society murder him on the cross. This perfect example set by God himself is the way for all creation and there is no excuse for those who carry on taking the law into their own hands as a means of bringing about peace and order by human force. Murderers who take the law into their own hands and kill others with force will be judged at the end of time for their rejection of the One who showed us very clearly the way to trust his management of life and death.
Acts of mass murder come from a very old collection of ideas to do with using physical force to control each other rather then trusting God to control us from within. If God cannot control us from within ourselves we will never be set free from this degenerating loop of destruction. It is an immutable fact of life that the forces of human nature occur within the human spirit not without. The without is just a manifestation of the dark and evil forces within. And it is a cop out to whitewash ourselves with a holy mantra to justify the practice of killing and hating each other. It is a sham & disgrace to educate our children with the idea that the free reign of violence is glorious and noble. It is evil.
The use of human force is completely and utterly repudiated by God himself in the way he dealt with the teachers and leaders who always came accusing him of this and that, always trying to justify their own violence within. For example, when they tried to stop him from healing people he attacked them with words of truth and they responded with acts of violence. Words v. Violence. Truth v. Lies. The teachers and leaders of his day who plotted his violent end are no different from the teachers and leaders today who plot acts of violence against innocent people at home and abroad. Many today are complicit in promoting acts of violence. Whether by teaching children nice things about our forefathers who mass murdered innocent souls or by leading parliament into making decisions that bring mass destruction to innocent lives, everyone it would seem is complicit in promoting violence. The promotion is the mantra, the ideology of self-reliance is the cause, and the destruction of one another is the inevitable and inexorable outcome.

“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness instead of the light because their deeds were evil.” (John 3v19)

In God’s name people do horrible things to one another because they have not met Jesus yet but when they do it will be too late to say sorry.

Theorists are internalists

2006-08-06T23:45:00.000+01:00

When people talk about the future they often refer to it as something that exists in reality, as if it has substance, shape, form and meaning. But the future has no existence other than what we imagine it to be in our minds.
During a period in European history generously named as ‘The Age of Enlightenment” philosophers were always mouthing off about the meaning of life using abstract words like 'beauty', ‘nature’ and 'future' to give gravity and purpose to their arguments. Such arguments had all the appearance of using empirical evidence, of refusing to accept anything as true unless it could be observed to be true, but their use of references to many abstract ideas betrayed their writings as, at best, wish fulfillment, the root of wobbly theory. Their writings have been given canonical status in universities to ensure the world is taught from the perspective of an imagined authority or ‘rule of measurement’ based on a rag bag of scruffy ideas, wild speculations and wobbly theories. In a world that has no specific canon other than relativism in which the mysterious spectacle of an utopian future devoid of black and white, right and wrong, good and evil, is repeatedly referred to as concrete reality, the future could not be more grim. The legacy of their writings form the basis of today’s teaching establishments training children to believe in half-baked truths about a new world order controlled by people who believe they have emanated from chimpanzees.
In order to prove the existence of your future you will need to give it substance, shape, form and meaning by predicting what or where you imagine yourself to be tomorrow. Whatever you come up with will consist of nothing but ideas and you will not have a single shred of evidence to prove these ideas exist as substance in reality. Imagination that relies on abstract things to support an argument has no grounds at all for contending with those whose arguments about the existence of God is grounded in the reality of historical evidence.
If the history of civilisations is anything to go by, the historical evidence for canons being wrong about the future is overwhelmingly stacked against those numerous societies whose collectivised imagination of the future never materialised. Their dusty remains tell us about missions unaccomplished big time. They built their towers, which all fell through moral decay from within. One exception to this is the history of Israel whose future was prophesied by those who believed. God proved himself to be true by telling them about their future, which often happened exactly as he forewarned. He even prepared them for the coming of Jesus Christ centuries beforehand. The historical evidence for God keeping his promise about the future is undeniably more certain and reliable than any number of ideas or theories put together by star-gazing philosophers.
God reveals himself to the world and he does this by telling us about the future so that when it arrives, hopefully, we would recognise his reality, turn from our unbelief and trust his somewhat greater oversight of our time.
Jesus is the only one person in history who claimed to be the sum total of the future and who came back to tell us about it. He suffered for the evidence of eternity knowing that the proof would cause men to defend their cherished beliefs in their own strength, which they thought they did rather well by killing him. When ignorance and fear take over, human reason descends to the depths of brutality as it did in the Dark Ages and the Age of Enlightenment when messengers of Jesus’ gospel got burnt at the stake and their entrails yanked out by barbarous priests of death. He proved himself to be the Truth by 'letting things' happen to him the way he had predicted so that we would recognise him coming to us. God did this to teach us about himself so that we can see the flesh and blood of his substance, shape, form and meaning which is expressed as love for us. Unlike the dubious future, which the whole world continually and mistakenly believes in as a reality, God has substance, shape, form and meaning. He is the future. God is the ultimate absolute reality who has told us everything we need to know about our future and he came as a Son to reveal everything so that we would be left in no doubt.
So, why the contention? Do you contend with the ideas you have about your future by trying desperately to prove to others that the way you have imagined your future has no basis in reality? Do you? Of course not, even though you should, because its true. You're whole life is based on making preparations for the future that you've imagined for yourself and it would therefore be inconceivable to question the reality of 'imagined things' that form the substance and meaning of your life! Yet you contend with God who has made himself known beyond all doubt that he exists in reality. The contention is this: You think you are in control of the environment in which you have been given a wee experience of life and therefore the idea of a higher authority is repugnant to you. This is the way human psychology works and it all sounds perfectly reasonable, except for the glaring stark reality of the condition in which you find yourself. The reality is that people imagine the future and then build social structures by colonising other people into these structures and then build armies to fight each other with arrows and spears, in order to preserve and bring into existence what they have imagined collectively. Kings, laws, mullahs, ceremonies, flags, bishops, graves, shrines, statues and monuments are all expressions of this imagination about possessing the future. Futile phrases like, 'planning for a better future' daub the literature of our collectivised community of academic dreamers and fantasists. Yet you cannot prove that a single hair on your head will be there tomorrow where it is today. When the future does eventually arrive and it turns out to be different from what you imagined, you are disappointed because you realise you have built your life on the quicksand of your Government’s imagination where there is no reality but lies and half baked truths.
I'm telling you that your life is worth more than your mind could ever imagine, more than all the philosophers can imagine with all their skilful use of words and paradigms. The number of stars in the dimension we lamely call ‘space’ cannot contain what constitutes your life. Your life is worth the suffering of God's own flesh and blood who came to us to bridge the gap between imagination and truth. Today, you have no excuse when it comes to choosing whether to live or die. If you choose to believe in your imagination you will die in your imagination. Choose to believe in Jesus Christ and you will die to your imagination but be raised with him whose words will be used to raise you from the dead. His words are not subject to men's imagination, neither men's imagination that came before his resurrection nor that which has been added since because his words are Spirit and Life - the eternal place not governed by the imagination of men. What God promises as a future for you therefore is what God keeps stored for those who believe in Christ. He cannot show you these things until you repent, not a stitch will be shown until you turn from your own way and follow Christ. The only 'thing' you will see is an imagined picture of yourself in the future based on nothing but fantasy.
For God came to us as a man to show us the way, the truth, the LIFE and if you prefer to put your trust in your imagination about life, death and the 'future world' then please don't be angry when at the end of time he says to you, 'But I came to you and you rejected Me'

"In that day (the day He was to come back to show them the resurrection) you will no longer ask me (about) anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." John 16 v23-24

These words, and all the others that Jesus spoke, are the only words that are going to remain when everything else on earth and in heaven has passed away. The words you eat today will be the words that will resurrect you tomorrow. Don't be cheated by the fools who have talked themselves out of an eternal inheritance.

Useless war icons

2006-08-06T23:35:00.000+01:00

The human race is incapable of telling the difference between good and evil because in every war the self righteous bigotry on both sides is supported by a corporate sense of identity with being the 'winner'.
After the British dropped one of the largest tonnage of bombs on a single city Dresden Feb 1945 during a two day bomb fest the bodies of innocent men, women and children piled high in the streets in the days that followed were absorbed into the consciousness of British People as 'the casualties of war'. 30,00 people were wiped out as a result of the bombing raids, which today is the moral equivalence to Israel wiping out Beirut.
Kevin hits the nail firmly on the head, suggesting as I believe he does, that the human race is simply not kitted out with sufficient intelligence to know why there should be a clear understanding of the most basic and fundamental difference between good and evil. This frightening ignorance, in spite of the growth of knoweldge, is all the more demonstrated by our teaching establishments that churn out a boring, repetitive dialectic about creating heaven on earth without having a single clue how to equip the body politic with anything practical that resolves the contradiction of 'killing for the common good'.
Take a hard look at the icons we worship in our nation and you won't have to go very far to see how our institutions maintain a worship of war and destruction as a method of preserving our identity as 'British' by reminding us of the blood spilt by our forefathers in their killing fields.
The human race is so hopelessly conditioned by a belief in its own collective righteousness that condones evil that heaven WILL never be within its grasp, not this millenium, nor the ones following.
We have a combination of war memorials, war shrines, war museums, pride marches, war art, war iconography, celebratory war literature, badges, caps, symbols, war institutions, remembrance services, religious and secular indoctrination of the idea that 'war is a necessary evil' - as one Bishop wrote to me recently. All engineered and maintained by so called 'intelligent' 'academics' who take the noble responsibility of protecting our national identity, commonality and culture through education and the arts. All this upholding of our values and standards through the idolatrous use of symbolic icons like the Cenotaph - a memorial to barefaced evil - is where evil seeps into the subconscious of the national psyche from cradle to the grave.
The idea that some priests in Germany were praying for the sons and daughters of a nation fighting a noble cause in the war against Britain and priests in Britain where praying for the sons and daughters of a nation fighting a noble cause against Germany fills the air we breath today with despair and hopelessness. For, each nation condoned the social practices of its various component parts, whether in the role of priest or of local councillor, and each were talking and praying to a 'common good'. If this is rational, then God help the universe if we ever get to colonise the stars!
Kevin went part of the way but I go further and say we must smash all our uselss icons that appraise heroes and irradicate them from our history books and our memorabilia and teach our children to despise the concept of training fellow human beings to become murderers on our behalf.
We should disband all armed services and destroy every single weapon right down to the very last dreg of historic weapon preserved in castlemania.
Until then, stop griping about war. It's here to stay because we preserve it in our culture.

The blind that lead the blind

2006-08-06T22:17:00.000+01:00

When historians take up their pens they hope their interpretation of events will give the reader a balanced view of the past. What they do to dead men is not a great deal different to what academics do to the living, they articulate their prejudices and beliefs through the artifice of 'presentation'. Their canonical authority is based purely on the volume of woffle they can cram into a single piece of work.
If we are to use as our starting block the first law or premise, which is that every spoken or written word is the effect of imagination and the cause is unknown, the phrase 'the blind leading the blind' somehow rings true.
Dialectical materialism belongs to this dimension of blindness, in which dialogue always seems to be sucked along by an undercurrent of an a priori belief in the authority of abstract words that have no visible, verifiable, observable truths to support their rampant use, let alone providing any meaningful definition.
Take the pronoun 'me' for example. Can any brave fellow dare to define what the meaning is of this word when applied to ... well .. me?
I've not met any two people yet who can agree on the absolute definition of the word 'love'. Yet, it is the most heavily used word in arguments about life, death, and the non-existence of God.
Many words like these that defy definition are used authoritativey in arguments supporting social programs all around the world - all in the euphoria of 'academic' research, while other 'programs' run by the same ilk cause social decay and destruction.
The blind cannot see even the most fundamental truths about the sanctity of life because they haven't clue as to what defines a 'life'.
