“Language and Freedom”: Truth Matters — Pronouns Matter — Reality Matters — Morality Matters — GOD Matters!

Language is thought.  Bad language is bad thought.

“Everyone is doing it” is rarely a good excuse for anything.  This applies to bad English as well as doing drugs or jumping off perfectly good bridges.  Poor writing and poor speaking are the result of poor thinking.  Understand: Without language thought itself would not be possible.  As the old sayings go, “Knowledge is power” and “The pen is mightier than the sword”, that is, to one who knows how to wield it deftly.  To those incompetent to wield it, it can be compared to the vagabond Jews (Acts 19:13ff.) who thought that they could use the Name of Jesus as some “abracadabra”, and when they (without God’s Authority, being unconverted) tried to cast demons* out of a certain individual — the demons caused the demon-possessed man to turn on them and cast them out of the house naked and wounded.  “2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness .... 14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.” (Proverbs 15)  “A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.” (Provrbs 18:7)

[* The Greek word used in this passage is not “devils”, which is a mistranslation.  There is but one Devil.  The Greek word used should be translated demons.  The Greek words #1228 diabolos (Devil) and #1140 daimonion (demon) are two separate and unrelated words, of different etymology and different meaning; and our English words Devil and demon were derived, respectively, from those each of those two different Greek words; the English words being transliterations, or more properly, Anglicizations of those Greek words.  Diabolos is not daimonion.  Confusing these words as being the same and / or the interchangeable use of them is blatant error and their confused translation in the Bible perpetuates error.  It would be like confusing the Greek / English words Jesus and Justus; or Mary and Martha as being the same word, with the same meaning, and interchangeable.  Whenever the word devils in the plural appears in the Bible, it is a mistranslation and should be “demons”.  Whenever the word devil in the singular appears in the Bible — and it is not referring to Satan himself — it is a mistranslation and should be “demon”; with one exception: the verse in which Christ rhetorically said, “Have I not chosen you twelve and one of you is a devil?” (John 6:70)  This is because Judas was the son of perdition (damnation) and he had a special relationship with Satan, who would later personally enter Judas, becoming one.]

God laments through the Prophet Hosea, “My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge” (4:6) and also revealed through the Prophet Amos,

“11Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the LORD: 12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the LORD, and shall not find it.” (chapter 8)

[God often hides the Truth from those who would reject it if they knew it.  They are unworthy of it.  God is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (mind) — the nature; and God is not a mere spectator or lab technician running diagnostic tests to “check on the health” of the patient.  God ordains all, in His Drama (all of reality).  He does not merely “passively know” the way that each takes, but He orders the steps, puts thoughts in minds, puts words in mouths.  “It is in Him that we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28) and “It is God that worketh in you both to WILL and to DO of HIS GOOD PLEASURE” (Philippians 2:13).  For more details, see my book, Does God Repent...? — Can God Change His Mind...?, 506pp., pb., 25.00 + P&H.]

and

“1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power* thereof: from such turn away.” (II Timothy 3)

[* —nondoctrinal “Christians” (which is a delusional phrase for humanists with a pseudo-spiritual experience and a “Jesus fetish”) who believe in nothing in the Bible unless it strokes their aura and gives them a good “feeling”; thinking themselves spiritual “free agents”; unwitting disciples of the defective Lutheran Danish “theologian”, more properly, humanist philosopher calling himself Lutheran,  Søren Kierkegaard, who taught that it does not matter what you believe in, all that matters is that you “believe it passionately”.  Thus, the Tibetan monk or Satanic High Priest are just as “holy” as any Christian, and all will be in Heaven.  Such “Christians” who have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof, limit God to whatever their fallen, confused, and wicked hearts and minds believe God should be; and such are actually idolators, worshipping the false god and following the false christ that they create in their own minds.]

There is no love, equality, tolerance, acceptance and inclusion in the Word of God for that which God forbade, or for those who love, think, and do what He forbade.

Furthermore, God said that He would send Strong Delusion for many to believe a lie.  That delusion and belief in that lie results in complacency, apathy, feigned “spirituality”, counterfeit fruit, and a false sense of security.  Those deluded thereby imagine that they have a “golden parachute”, and deludedly think that they “already know” the Word of God — despite the fact that Scripture says none of us knows anything as we ought; and many have thoughts that oppose themselves, self-contradictions; the flesh wars against the spirit for supremacy; their thoughts oppose God even while thinking that they are “spiritual”; the flesh masquerades as the spirit, even as fallen angels may masquerade as angels of light; there is counterfeit fruit that is not merely a “wax knock off”, but toxic.  Such, without realizing it (which is the essence of “delusion”), follow a false christ and worship a false god (one created in their own minds, formed by apostate preachers and apostate denominations, by “preachers for hire”, false prophets, blind and evil shepherds) — and they believe and practice the very opposite of what the Word of God says, the very opposite of what Christ taught; or they believe and practice what He taught but in wrong application (such as “doing good” unto and “loving” those whom God forbade us to do good unto or to love).  Jesus said, “He that is not with Me is against Me and He that gathereth not with Me [he who does not gather that which I AM gathering] scattereth abroad”.  Christ is gathering His sheep; those who gather wolves, dogs, swine, and serpents — scatter the flock!  Such a person who is a friend of the world is the enemy of God; such a person who does the opposite of Christ’s Work actually works to undo His Work; and such a person is called an “enemy”, all the while thinking himself to be “oh so spiritual”.  This is why on the Day of Judgment, MANY who thought that they were “good Christians”, even those who thought that they were doing “wonderful works” in Jesus’ Name, will hear Christ profess unto them in condemnation and rejection: “I never knew you.  Depart from Me ye that work iniquity [lawlessness]”. 

These verses and all other passages in the Word of God are not merely historical records, ancient literature, inspirational ideas, good advice, or “hyper-spiritual” analogies that have no actual meaning or parellel in the physical world — they are the only “reality”.  Those who reject that reality are under Strong Delusion.  Those not changed by the Word of God, to conform into the Image of Christ (not the image of Gandhi) and God’s unchanging Standard of Morality, whose lives do not change to conform to the Word of God in every single area, are unregenerate, or at the very least, severely malnourished, under-developed, and sickly Christians, as well as being primarily carnal.  Those who are regenerated by God’s Holy Spirit will be conformed and reformed to God’s Ways.  God does not conform to man; God does not compromise; does not change; neither do His Decrees, Law, Covenants, Will, or Plan; and God does not mince His Words, employ useless, unnecessary, or outdated words or concepts.  The society of the elect, the true Church is to conform to God or it is not of God (and thus, not His elect and not His Church, but counterfeits).  The natural (unregenerate) man is like an individual beholding his face in a mirror (the Word of God, exposing all that needs to be changed in his person) — and yet he immediately goes away carefree, as if he never read the Word of God, being unconvicted, with no desire to please God, and no desire to change those things that the Word of God showed to need changing; he feels no need to repent because he has a false sense of spirituality and holiness, and does not even know what sin is; believing the false doctrine that Jesus abolished the Law of God, the only Standard of Morality in every area of life.  The follow a false Christ, because they do not know His Voice, since they believe the very opposite of what He said: “Think NOT that I am come to destroy the Law... I am NOT come to destroy the Law... not one jot or tittle shall pass from the Law”.

Without language thought itself would not be possible; and that very fact also knocks out one of the false legs of the science fiction of Evolution.  Without an individual being raised from infancy with language it would be impossible for someone who has no language — and, therefore, no knowledge — to think; words form thought and are rationally associated with word-pictures in the mind.  For example, if a person does not know Latin, but knows English, he could at least pronounce the words (as best they seem to him); but the words would be meaningless.  Now imagine if the person could not read at all, not any language.  Those words on the page, whether in English or Latin, would be meaningless.  However, though an individual may be utterly illiterate, unless he is deaf he has learned language and can think thoughts, and recognize things as associated with words, even though he cannot spell or read those words, he can still picture things and their corresponding word in his mind by acquired knowledge by association.  But take it one step farther, what if the individual was born deaf and thus never heard language and was never taught to read, and was never taught sign language, but was the sole survivor of a shipwreck and miraculously survived and raised himself on a deserted island?  The only “thoughts” he would have would be disassociated mind pictures.  A human being without language would be like a person having no knowledge concerning how all the pieces of a car or a computer fit together, not even knowing what a car or a computer is, having never seen one, being given a box or a crate full of all the random, individual parts of a car or a computer. 

Man did not “evolve” from nonthinking, grunting cavemen, operating upon base instincts and nonrational, paired “cause” and “effect”, forming crude associations of experience, primarily “avoidance of pain” and “seeking of pleasure” (primarily, food; which, in a sense is also the avoidance of pain, since food is often eaten to stave off hunger pangs).  Operational thinking and logical concepts cannot be developed without rational thought (though they can operate upon learned instinct or classically conditioned experience), which thought is introduced through ocular and visual expressions of language and transmitted from one generation to the next, as a sort of intellectual “friendship cake”: each successive generation (hopefully) building higher upon the foundation and edifice erected by the former (though, sadly, it seems that modern society is content with annual cultural earthquakes, each which destroy us a little more). 

If an infant were cruelly raised in an environment in which nothing was ever spoken, and the child never heard a single word, there could be no thought, for there would have been no associations of word-sounds continually paired with “things” experienced, moulding the mind continually; as the waves ceaselessly caress the shoreline, shaping it, and polishing the rough and sharp edges of the tiny pieces of shells that constitute the soft sands, continually washed up on shore and refined.  A child raised in such an environment without love, without language, would be like a cat raised in the wild, which would consider “words” spoken out loud as some strange phenomena to be feared, and even a loving touch would be considered to be a violent attack; instead of being like a hand-raised kitten, touched and petted and handled tenderly, and spoken to softly, since birth, the very voice and tender touch setting the diesel engine of the cat’s purr motor in motion, being the “fuel” that powers it.  Such a tragically raised child would never think, but only experience base instincts and classically conditioned avoidance or seeking behaviour and never, in continued isolation, could language be acquired; that is, without an act of God, in which the individual invented his own language, which, it would seem, would be highly undeveloped and unsophisticated, most probably irrational (for logic, as any science, such as mathematics or automechanics, is not something that “just happens”, but which has been developed over centuries by not just average and certainly not by stunted minds, but by the greatest minds) and it would seem highly improbable for such a “lone wolf” to develop his untaught mind in isolation.  Zero + zero + zero = zero.  Three cave men would develop no more than one cave man would develop.  Words would be developed into language, not by a “vote”, but by whoever has the largest club.  That would not establish truth, but tyranny. 

Although mere language and thought do not constitute the only difference between humans and animals, like morality, the loss of language-thought or morality reduces man to functioning no better than an animal — no better than dumb, brute beasts.  This is the effect of raising children in a society stripped of the Word of God, the only Standard of Morality.  Nonmorality lobotomizes (or more properly, is like severe, profound brain damage inflicted while the fetus is in early stages of development) the spirit, the character, and the conscience, even as nonlanguage would lobotomize the mind.  This is epitomized in modern Post-Christian perverse “culture” in which evil is called “good” and good is called “evil”.  Fools* (figuratively as a metaphor for immoral people who reject the Counsel and Authority of the Word of God, and sometimes literally) besmear themselves with feces and drink urine and eat rotting flesh and parasites and other filth — and deludedly imagine themselves to be taking a bubble bath, eating Crème Brûlée and drinking Louis Roederer Cristal Brut champagne.  This too is Strong Delusion sent by God so that the wicked fully earn the Judgment that God has ordained for them.

[* In Scripture, a fool is not merely a person who is of low intelligence — but of low morals, wicked, godless — rejecting God and the only Truth and Morality, which alone have their genesis in the Word of God.  Scripture says, “The fool hath said in his heart, ‘There is no God’.” (Psalm 14:1)  This is epitomized in the Scripture in which Christ, the Personification of Wisdom cries out, “But he that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate Me love death” (Proverbs 8:36).  In both the Old and New Testament, in both the Hebrew and the Greek, the words disbelief and disobedience are the same word.  In essence, they are “cause” and “effect”; the one producing the other; even as lustful thoughts produce behaviours that act upon those lusts.  This is actually the long-unrealized purpose of the Tenth Commandment against coveteousness (or lust): the prevention of sin by the prophylaxis of lustful thought.  See my book,  Ten Commandments for You^th —For Everyone!, For Youth and Young-minded Adults - An Explanation of the Ten Commandments and A Memory System using Bible Numerics; c.440pp., 6.25 x 9.25, pb., 25.00 + P&H.]

However, thought and functionality are not the only importances of language; language is foundational for life, civilization, and freedom.

Without valid thought and the intelligence that it hones, freedom itself is impossible.  

Horace Greeley, American newspaper editor and publisher (1811-1872), expressed, “It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people.  The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom”. 

Thomas Jefferson expressed, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never was and never will be”.  

[He also said, “The God who gave us life gave us Liberty at the same time. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are a gift of God?  Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever”.]

Benjamin Franklin expressed, “A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved.  It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins”.

To “give in” to polluted, corrupted words, concepts, definitions, practices, and to abandon the established Laws of Logic and Rules for Proper English is to surrender our language, is to surrender our minds and defile our consciences; it is to surrender our freedom — is to surrender civilation and our very lives.  Those terribly confused individuals who believe in Evolution (which is a fairy tale for adults who hate God) do not realize that modern “progress” is actually tantamount to a 180^o “about face” and reversal (metaphorically speaking) of “progress” from Evolution “back into” barbarism and chaos, and the disintegration of intelligence, morals, and true progress. 

God reveals, “the curse causeless shall not come” and you reap what you sow.  However, not only do you reap what YOU sow, but there is what I have called for decades, “collateral reaping”: each individual also reaps what his neighbour sows (and that is why God commanded separation, and why one should only choose his neighbors, friends, associates, and prospective mates according to all that God commanded).  Children also reap what their parents sow; and even what their siblings sow.  If you have a plot of land and a garden, if the neighbors on all four sides of you do not weed their gardens, the seeds blown by the wind and carried by the birds, and the invasive roots that run under property lines, and over walls and fences, the invasive and even toxic weeds (like poison ivy) will invade your garden too.  This is why God commands His people to expose sin, rebuke it, excommunicate it, even expel it — because when morality / God’s Law is ignored in a family, Scripture does not forbid judging others; in fact, we are commanded to so judge; that is, discern, exhort, rebuke, expose, and even excommunicate.  Each passage of the Bible dealing with such concepts must be understood in context.  It is the duty of each individual to expose sin and evil in others — and thus, it behooves each person to make sure that his own life is “judgment proof”; or he is merely a hypocrite.  The issue is not, as I have written for 32 years, “who is right and who is wrong”, but that we all know what is right and wrong and desire and labour to “get right” according to God’s unchanging Standard.  The solution is not for each person to simply “mind his own business”*; for the health of the community, a true extended family is just like the health of a body; and you would not ignore the signs of illness or disease in one of your loved ones.  So also are we to love the true Body of Christ.  God commanded lepers and others with similar, deadly communicable diseases to be quarantined.  This has nothing to do with whether any soft-headed, overly emotional, ignorant person thinks that it is “unfair”.  It is what God commanded. 

God did not first create humans to serve as His Own “board of directors” to “vote” on all issues of Divine Decrees, and then “tell God what He is and is not allowed to do”, before God set about with creating the universe.  God commanded separation of deadly disease (and the quarantining of “moral” and even “doctrinal” infections; the latter being called heresy or apostacy) because it is a matter of life and death; regardless of what any human thinks, even if confused humanists (deluded into thinking that they are “Christians”) think that because of “technology” man has “better ideas” than God had.  NO ONE can have a “better idea” than God.  If any individual thinks that he does, he is under Strong Delusion and he is Anti-God.  Such an individuas is free to attempt to become his own god, create his own separate universe, and then order it however he wants (and then he can experience the joys of having his inferior creatures tell him how he should have done everything differently). 

Even as with disease (and heresy / false doctrine), so also it is with sin and evil.  If sin and evil are ignored in a family, church, community, or nation, sin and evil, even as leprosy or any other disease, will eventually contaminate and infect all.  God sends Judgment on those who ignore sin.  As the old saying goes, “When man forgets God, God sends an earthquake”.  This “forgetting God” is not merely not “going to church”,  where one sings a hymn, tries to stay awake through a sermon, drops a token in the collection plate, while wearing his “Sunday best” smiling and “feeling pious” (before racing home to watch a bunch of whoremongering, drug-using, God-hating, violent, blaspheming, cursing savages play with a ball) — “not forgetting God” means obeying what God commanded, in each and every area of life — which Commands never change, because Morality never changes, because God never changes.  Such “earthquakes” can be literal, or other similar God-sent natural disasters,** or a moral or financial “earthquake”, or an “earthquake” of disease or war.

[* This has nothing to do with gossip or being a “busybody”.  It has to do with demonstration of true love, to God and our kinsmen.  True love desires what is right, and good, and best; true love recognizes the importance of obeying God’s Command to rebuke and judge sin: “It’s a dirty job, but everyone is commanded to do it.”  “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” (Philippians 2:4)  “Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and Doctrine.” (II Timothy 4:2)  Note Carefully: NOT “longsuffering ‘in’ doctrine”, but longsuffering and Doctrine.  The former would infer “tolerance” of “different interpretations”, which notion is found nowhere in the Word of God.  The Bible is not a “subjective experience”; nor a “write your own ending” novel.  “1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.  2Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ” (Galatians 6); etc..

** —such as tsunamis, lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.  However, it seems that the majority of “Christians” who reject the Biblical God and His self-revelation, believe instead in a humanistic god, who conforms to what sinful man declares to be “good” and “fair”; such “Christians” believe that life is merely an endless series of chaotic, random events, and that such phenomena “just happen”; there is no rhyme or reason; and that God is an absentee landlord, guilty of depraved indifference and simply passively watches helplessly when He could prevent it all.  Evolution, to them, is a much-more “fair” and respectable “creator” and “lord”; or they think that God “turned the universe over to” His sinful creatures and it is entirely up to them to “make the best” of it, according to their own subjective notions.]

Ignoring truth, logic, and proper English results in confusion and degradation of thought; and the all-too-common use of profanity (not merely spoken in the gutter, by drunken sailors, or in locker rooms by immoral athletes — but now in all “professions”, including “journalism”, Congress, the Courts, and in “ejjikayshun”) reveals poor upbringing, poor education, low intelligence and / or low morals, and no respect for oneself, the listener / reader, one’s parents, ancestors, race, or God.  Scripture reveals, 

“15Unto the pure all things [that are pure]* are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving** is nothing pure [that is pure]*; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.  16They profess that they know God; but in works* they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient,* and unto every good work* reprobate.” (Titus 1)

[* The words that I have supplied in [brackets] provide the only correct interpretation.  God is nowhere suggesting that things that are impure can possibly be considered as if they were “pure”; (neither do things that are impure “become” pure merely by praying over them: a pig is not turned into a sheep; contaminated water is not magically sterilized and distilled merely by you “thinking” that it is pure) even as nowhere in Scripture does God suggest that His people can eat that which He forbade, if they “bless it”.  Other passages also often blasphemously misinterpreted are referring to clean species of animals that happened to have been slain and offered to pagan gods, and the meat then sold in the marketplace.  Similarly, when Paul made this declaration (below), the only correct interpretation, again, is with the words that I have supplied in [brackets], Paul was not suggesting that he could commit murder, homoperversion, steal, worship false gods, etc.:

“All things [that are lawful] are lawful for me, but all things [that are lawful] are not expedient: all things [that are lawful] are lawful for me, but all things [that are lawful] edify not.” (I Corinthians 10:23). 

Those who are devoid of God’s Holy Spirit interpret such passages to mean the exact opposite of what they mean, and in so doing they blaspheme the Word of God, use the truth in unrighteousness, and are the blind leading the blind.  They shall have the greater condemnation.  The point is something similar to me eating a hot-fudge sundae (which I almost never do).  It would be no sin for me to eat one — but it would be wrong for me to eat one in front of a true brother who is obese and has a problem with diet and self control.  Neither of the above verses, or others like them, are saying that it is perfectly fine to eat that which God forbade.  God never changes.  His Law never changes.  Morality never changes.  Reality never changes.  Those who think the opposite of what God declared are either unregenerate or in the very infancy of their spiritual (and intellectual) understanding (or possibly profoundly spiritually mentally retarded). 

Each new verse of Scripture is not unrelated and independent, it’s own little doctrinal world.  Each verse is part of the unchanging, harmonious whole.  Those who cannot understand logic should maybe start over with the basics, such as: “See Moses!”  “See Moses run!” and once they have mastered simple thought, can progress to more complex thought; and they should not attempt to teach what they do not know; even as one would (hopefully) not open a flight instruction or bungy-jumping school, being completely ignorant of those disciplines. 

For more information and Biblical evidence that Peter’s Vision did not abolish the dietary laws, and neither did any other New Testament passage, see my booklet, So, You Call Yourself A Christian..., 76pp., 7.00 + P&H.  Do you care whether you may be sinning against God? or is it a “non-issue” to you? 

Do you think that God senselessly recorded in Holy Writ...? —passages like,

“Yet He sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD...” (II Chronicles 24:19)

and

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” (Jeremiah 16:16)

Godly young King Josiah rent his royal vesture, grieved to his soul when he learned that what the people had been following as God’s Word was far from it.  Josiah’s evil grandfather, Manasseh, in his early, evil days, attempted to obliterate the Word of God, it seems that all copies of the Scriptures had been lost except for one copy hidden within the walls or under a paving stone of the Temple, found during a renovation.  What the priests had been following, it seems, was from their own imperfect memories and corrupt interpretations, “traditions of men”.  If they could have fallen so far from the Holy Standard in a few decades, why do the majority of “Christians” think it so “impossible” that it has happened to us over centuries, even millennia of false teaching...? —making the Word of God of none effect by the spurious traditions of man that supplanted the actual Word of God.  The Scriptures even tell us that this will happen.  This is natural result of the battle of evil against good.  There will be, in addition to continued blindness, a “falling away”, and the majority of God’s people will be lovers of themselves and pleasure; not lovers of God and Righteousness.  Most “Christians” have “everybody-else-but-me-itis”.  Tell me, is all of the evil that is taking place in Christendom, which is so egregious that Christendom is about to fall for the first time in 2,000 years — is all this evil happening because God is is “happy” with us...?  Is it not clear that God does not hear the prayers of His people...?   “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2)  Yet, so spiritually dead are most “Christians” that such statements do not even get their attention; and they have no interest to investigate by ordering those very books and booklets that would convince them of truth and convict them of sin.  This too is Strong Delusion sent by God.  Again, this is the natural / unregenerate man beholding his highly flawed face in the mirror, thinking himself perfect, and forthwith going away without perceiving the need to change anything.

All sin is sin; and all sin breaks fellowship; and God does not hear the prayers of those in unrepentant sin.  Ignorant sin is sin nonetheless, even as an “accident” can kill someone “just as dead” as a planned murder; and God holds accountable ignorant and accidental deaths against His children as sin, because He made His people in His Own Image and Likeness; which is why murder of His people, His children, is the offense that it is.

** The above is evidence toward my assertion that in the Bible disbelief is synonymous with disobedience.  True Faith produces obedience; disbelief (rejection of the Doctrine / Commands in the Word of God) produces disobedience.  Regardless of the deluded notions of humanists who think that they are Christians, false doctrine is not an “option” or “subjective experience”; false doctrine is sin.  Furthermore, God has sent Strong Delusion upon the majority, to believe that God abolished His Own Law (showing that they do not know God; I John 2:3-5; and that they do not know the Shepherd’s Voice), and thus, in their ignorential bliss of delusion, think that they have nothing to fear; or they demonstrate that they do not believe that God exists, or that they do not believe in the God of the Bible, but that they believe in a “Touched By An Angel” type of god who will never punish anyone.  Those who know God fear Him, and that fear is faith in God’s Nature and Decrees and Declarations; it is faith that He is Holy, and Just, and therefore, that He must punish sin as He has declared that He will punish it; not according to the humanistic delusion that God will only administer a “spanking” with a feather-duster; or any other type of “punishment” or false doctrine such as “Purgatory” or “Universal Reconciliation” or “Annhilationism” invented in the minds of deluded humanists thinking themselves to be Christians.]

Both ignoring the rules of English and ignoring the rules of moral decency result in the destruction of our language and our people, reducing us to the same low level as the antichrist savages who destroy our cultures, nations, and languages.  Just because the self-appointed elitists claim to have self-assumed authority to change the rules does not make it right.  Dictators of the mind are as illegitimate as dictators of nations.  God is the only Dictator, or more properly, Divine Supreme Absolute Potentate.

God commands His people to RESIST ALL corruption and evil.  The corruption and destruction and supplantation and replacement of our people, our heritage, our Faith, our Doctrine, our Laws, our government, our Educational System, our Churches, our culture, our language, our society, our nation, and all of Christendom — in order to become “more like the world” and reduce the would-be Kingdom of God to “Babylon” is a HATE CRIME.  Those who passively participate, promulgating lies, are accomplices, and are the enemies of God.  God commands, “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rebuke them!”  Scripture warns, “He who would be a friend of the world is the enemy of God”.   Stop caring about what the world thinks, stop caring about what the politically correct police think — and start caring SOLELY about what the Creator, Lord, and Judge of the Universe thinks.

Good writing requires good thought.  Those who love Righteousness will resist writing and speaking bad English, and bad English that is “politically correct” (that is, “Satan friendly”) and “gender neutral”, violating the rules of Established Standard English (in addition to violating the Law and Order of God).  Those of God will not just “go with the flow”.  The same “Christians” remain silent when Christ Jesus is blasphemed and when their neighbors’ daughters and wives are raped; they only begin to “care” when it happens to their own family.  Such are not of God.  Such deserve whatever happens to them.

In Proper English the subject and verb and reflexive predicate nouns and pronouns MUST AGREE in BOTH number and gender.  If you are “afraid” of using a male pronoun (thinking it “evil”), or if the story that you are writing calls for mystery and thus requires not revealing whether the person is male or female, you must think* of ways, within correct English usage, to hide the gender, but not violating the number.  The number of individuals can also be obscured, if one wants to hide that detail in vague wording, if mystery is desired at some point in a novel or writing or speech, or if one has a neurosis about using masculine pronouns, by using the adjective “such” as a pronoun: which is a shortened form of “such persons”.  For example: “If anyone plans on disrupting the meeting, let such know that it will be punished”.  If “dreaded, oppressive” masculine pronouns must be avoided at all costs, as if it were a “life or death” matter, for correct English, you must tailor your sentence according to the rules of grammar — even if the rules have modernly been “changed” by those who have NO authority to change them.  Those who are of God will stand out by not blending in with the world, but by standing up for what is right, regardless of whether it makes him unpopular.  Laws against discrimination should work both ways.  Don’t be intimidated.  Stand up for what is right; every time; in every area.  Don’t let anyone force you to use an incorrect pronoun; that is “pronoun terrorism”.  They have the right not to listen; even as you have the right to free speech.  I “identify with”** a person who uses correct English.  I am not perfect.  I make mistakes.  But I will not speak incorrectly on purpose (unless I am imitating an ignorant person, to make a point).  If you do not like the fact that English is a “masculine-dominated” language — pick another language!  Pick another nation!  Pick another continent.  Christendom is not for you!  Furthermore, if you hate Christ Jesus or believe in “other gods” or anything that contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture, then Christendom is not for you!

[* —and this is one reason (aside from the homopervert agenda and destruction of our culture, faith, and language) why the rules of English are ignored, and why even for 30 years teachers in public schools decided that students should be allowed to express their own creativity and individuality and spell any word however they like (and teachers do even don’t teach the mathematical tables any more — hamstringing children’s minds) because good writing takes work.  Work is something that lazy people hate.  Thinking is something that lazy and ignorant people hate.  Their egos are so fragile, their natures are so wicked, they want whatever phlegm they hack up to be recognized as “art”; they want whatever confused notions that they vomit out be recognized as “poetry”.  Maybe their mommies over-praised them for whatever they deposited in the “training potty”, and they have been spoiled and accustomed to everything that they do being recognized as the greatest thing ever done.  Such belong in a mental institution.  Modernly, neurotic, histrionic, under-achieving, talentless, deluded individuals confuse “dramatic reading” of their own insignificant, scattered and disjointed, irrational, and invalid thoughts to be “poetry” — which it is not.  Real poetry is hard work (and requires a good education).  It is much easier to string together a block of mediocre words in a disjointed form and then read those words allegrisimo, with ferver and feeling.  But that does not make it poetry or literature.  One could read the phone book directory, with as much gusto and verve, vim, and vigor — but that would not make the words being read “profound”.  It seems that most “snowflakes” were stunted in their mental-emotional development and are fixated at “refrigerator art” quality, while thinking that they are a modern day Raphael, Rubens, or Botticelli.

** Of course, I mean this tongue in cheek.  Anyone who thinks that “identifying with” someone or something changes reality, is mentally deranged.]

Even if the sentence...

“Each student is required to take out his pencil”

...is considered too “oppressive”* because of the “male” (shudder) pronoun, it is improper** ...

[* —and what if one of the little darling “angels” in school does not want to take out “his / her / it’s” pencil...? is that not “oppressive” to demand such of “him / her / it”...? —to be ORDERED to take out a pencil, when the child would prefer to just sit and daydream, or maybe run around the room kicking up “his / her / it’s” heels and braying like a jackass.  This may seem absurd, and it is, but it is still reality.  I read one news story recently of a young girl who demanded everyone to recognize her as a dog, and put up with her dog-like behaviours (when it selectively suited her).  Instead of being pacified, such a deluded individual should be made to sleep on the floor, relieve the bladder and bowel outside on the front lawn for all to watch, and be given a bowl of actual dog food (dry kibbles or canned), placed in a special spot on the floor, and be given no utensils — and be told: “Doggies do not use their paws to eat”.  If that does not cure the behaviour, then maybe a trip to the SPCA and putting the dog up for adoption may be in order; especially if the family lives in an apartment or rented house that does not allow pets.  What if “he / she / it”, considers “himself / herself / itself” to be more than one person?  Then using a singular pronoun would be considered (by demented individuals) to be a “hate crime”; and the child, if “they” think that “they” are more than one person, it must be established how many different persons “they” claim to be.  Then, that child would have to take each test in school x number of times, and have x number different pencils; that child would have to do “their” chores x number of times; eat x number of bowls of spinach; be told, “I am sorry, you cannot go to the movie / restuarant / vacation / zoo / water theme park / air plane trip / hotel stay” with us, because we cannot afford x number of tickets or bills.  In addressing a “multi-individual” using “he” or “she” would NOT be incorrect, for maybe one (or more) of their “multiple personas” IS a male or  female... and you are addressing only one of “their” personas, and not all.  Can YOU be forced to talk to “a whole group of people” when you only want to talk to one person...?  Of course, this should be seen for the nonsense that it is — but fight nonsense with nonsense...!  MAKE them be consistent in their nonsense...!

** —which nearly EVERYONE does, destroying our language; which does NOT make it “right” to do so, and which does NOT make it correct English.  As French poet, novelist and journalist Anatole France (1844-1924) expressed, “If fifty-million people say a stupid thing it is still a stupid thing”.]

...to write

“Each student is required take out THEIR pencil”.

is WRONG...the SUBJECT and VERB and other words (such as “pencil”) must be made plural, in order to use the plural neuter pronoun; and thus, the correct reading would be...

“All students are required to take out their pencils”. 

Writing used to be an art... (but since half or more of most “art” is not actually art, it is no surprise that writing is no longer considered art, but an irrelevant “unavoidable accident”, or like a sports game that has “no rules” in which each individual is free to “express” himself however he likes).  However, because the majority are artless (and their plan is actually to destroy the very concept of art, beauty, intelligence, value, etc.), the rules for English, just like the rules for grading students’ performance in schoool — so that every single student is given a “passing grade” and “grajjiated”* — have been lowered to the point that the goal to “reach” for is no longer the bar placed at 10 feet high on the pole vault, but the bar on the limbo dance.  It is tantamount surrendering to terrorist hijackers, to surrender our language and culture and government to agree to their demands.  Because they think, speak, and write sub-standardly, everyone must.

[* I read this online, a comment at some counselling facility: “This place helped my mental health jurastically”.  I first thought... “No... it cannot be... maybe this is simply one of the several hundred thousand words of the English language that I do not know”.  But, I researched it, and suprisingly, enough people thought that this was a valid word that it appears in a Google search question.  While there are probably 500,000 to 750,000 words in the English language (including all sorts of foreign words that have crept into use, and technical jargon), the average person uses only a few thousand, those college educated double or triple, and an accomplished journalist or author (that is, a good one) maybe 30,000.  The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary of the English Language contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use (and 47,156 obsolete words).  However, humorously, one presumed professional* wrote, “It has been estimated that the vocabulary of English includes roughly 1 million words (although most linguists would take that estimate with a chunk of salt, and some have said they wouldn’t be surprised if it is off the mark by a quarter-million); that tally includes the myriad names of chemicals and other scientific...”  The expression is “with a grain of salt”, that is, with a very tiny amount; taking something with a “chunk” of salt is nonsense and seems to be the product of a foreigner for whom English is not the first language (ironically, who then works for Merriam Webster Dictionary company) or who does not know how to think, and, therefore, does not realize that misuse of the expression is irrational.  There are abominably, many Third-World individuals, not only for whom English is not their first language, but who speak with such a thick foreign accent that it makes them hard to understand — who are English teachers in schools and English professors in U.S. universities.  This too contributes to the destruction of our people and our language.

See also the below link that I just found, which is interesting: It is ejjikayshunal as well as humorous.  I could not stop laughing at the photo of “biting my time”.  And “Doggy dog world” and “nip it in the butt” (which I guess is what happens in a “Doggy dog world”) give me the chuckles too.  :)  Yes, there used to be a T.V. series hosted by Art Linkletter (born Arthur Kelly; he was an orphaned Canadian adopted by a preacher and his wife) called, Kids Say the Darndest Things.  It is funny when children (who are still learning in this confusing world in which there is a LOT to be learned) say silly things; such as when one child referred to the “King James Virgin”, or another when at the dinner table could not eat another bite, and held her stomach and said, “Boy, am I full of it...!”  It is NOT cute when adults say STUPID things (unless their words are meant to be humorous) and expect you to agree with them that what they said is not stupid, and demand that you “celebrate” their stupidity with them, calling it “Genius”.  It is also funny when someone gets tongue tied, as I once referred to a friend of mine who was “a Golden Bove Gloxer”.  It is an entirely different matter when someone blathers stupidity and demands that it be accepted as Proper English.  Those who are out of touch with reality are psychotic.  You are under no moral, spiritual, or legal obligation to enter their mental delusion with them.  No.  There are no other answers to 2 + 2 other than 4; and no, claiming that 4 is the only correct answer to 2 + 2 is not “racist”.  Giving imbeciles, dullards, psychopaths and delusional individuals jobs in high posts in government and the military is dangerous enough; but imagine what would happen if the same type of talentless people, with low I.Q and low morals, with a hateful “everbody owes me” and “I can do no wrong” and “there is not only one correct way to do something” mentality and attitude, who did not pass the material required for the college degree or the job, who is delusional imagining all sorts of things as “identifying” as being something entirely different that they are not... just imagine when they become surgeons, commercial airline pilots, traffic cops, etc.

55 Everyday Sayings Everyone Gets Wrong - https://bestlifeonline.com/common-incorrect-sayings/ .]

 

The English language is rather simple.  The rules are simple.  It is the exceptions that are sometimes confusing, because there are so many of them (primarily in pronunciation, because English itself is a sort of polyglot of kindred languages, having words derived from German, Norse, French, Latin, Greek, Celtic, etc.  However, simply because there are confusing exceptions is NO excuse to ignore the simple rules.

No:

Give me this bananas. [incorrect quantifiers]

Give I that bananas. [incorrect pronoun; incorrect quantifiers]

Give me these banana. [incorrect quantifiers]

Give myself those banana. [incorrect pronoun; myself is a reflexive pronoun, so it is only used when you have already used me / I in the sentence, and me / I is the one performing the action, thus, myself would be correctly used, “I will give myself a banana”; incorrect quantifiers]

 

Yes:

Give me this banana.

Give me that banana.

Give me these bananas.

Give me those bananas.

 

It really is quite simple.

Truth matters.  Facts matter.  Details matter.  Morality matters.  God matters.  After years of foolishness and madness, after years of wickedness in sin, Solomon confessed a truth that he learned by experience, that he knew as a matter of wisdom, and declared:

[See my commentary on Ecclesiastes, 554pp., pb,. 30.00 + P&H; one of the hardest I ever had to write; one of the most-controversial, challenging.  Hardly any theologian, preacher, commentator understands the book.]

“1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.... 13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His Commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.  14For God shall bring every work into Judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12)

Salvation is not works oriented, but secured through the accomplished Work of Christ on the Cross and in Resurrection.  But Jesus is not Saviour / Redeemer to those for whom He is not also LORD.  If redeemed, you are bought with a price, and not your own.  True faith produces the works (obedience to all that God commanded) that God ordained before the foundation of the world.

God did not give each Adamite a book with blank pages and say, “Write your own Bible; it doesn’t really matter: Make your own subjective reality whatever you want it to be”; but that is what the majority of “Christians” and corrupt denominations do with their spurious interpretations and fallen humanistic “wisdom”.

One semester at Temple University, in Philadelphia, back in 1983, one day I arrived early in my commute, so I sat in the large student lounge.  Then one individual in the crowded large room SHOUTED as loud as a fire alarm, about 75 feet or more across the entire room to someone she knew, and she shouted, “Hey boy how you am?”  It is reprehensible that such individuals are even admitted to college, let alone graduated with diplomas (and probably a “free-ride” grant).  The value of diplomas, degrees, and college education now borders on mythology.  Everything has been reduced to fiction, pretense, and confusion; language, morals, truth, “science”, and what the Apostate Church hashes out as “doctrine”. 

Don’t surrender, don’t ignore sin, evil, or stupidity; don’t smile at it, don’t recognize it as acceptable, don’t conform to it, don’t support it.

If coherent English is too difficult for some, it would be nice if they reverted to crude sign language and grunts and gestures instead of degradating our heritage and helping to dumb us down, as all of society is forced to wear a dunce cap so that the dunces don’t feel so dunce-ish.  This is the intellectual and mental, psychological equivalent of cutting off the legs and arms of everyone, so that quadruple amputees don’t feel so handicapped and out of place.  It is a hate crime against everyone else. 

[I wonder what the response would be if at the Olympics everyone was given a Gold Medal simply for showing up, or competing, and no one was declared the “winner”.  What about the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB...?  Why do they even have a “winner” in each game or a “Championship”...?   Well, the vultures and dodos are coming home to roost, in the gender perversion / mental derangement of perverse / confused / deranged men competing “as women” in high school and college sports.  What about when it reaches the Olympics and Professional women’s sports...?  Well, the curse causeless shall not come.  Women wanted the world to believe as truth their mental delusion that men and women are “equal”; even though they are not.  If they were, there would not be separate leagues.  If they were, women would have to play the same number of games and sets in tennis, as men play.  Women would have to compete against men in bodybuilding, weight lifting, basketball, football, (and baseball, not merely “softball”), wrestling, martial arts, swimming, diving, etc.  Reality matters...!  By the way, my race horse thinks it is a human, so look for my “runner” to win all foot racing events in the next Olypmics (and he is an Arabian stallion, so will be competing for both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, so that will require two gold medals for each event).  My “other horse” is a 6,000 lb. hippopotamus (which Greek word means, “river horse”) that “identifies with” being a thorough-bred race horse, and I will be entering him in the Kentucky Derby and I believe that he will “crush” the competition; hippos can run 19 mph., but they also cross-compete as Sumo wrestlers; and though my hippo will be “horsing around” and breaking the rules, he “identifies” as someone who does not break the rules.  My cat thinks that she is a dog, and the fleas on her think that they are butterflies...!  I myself “identify” as being a legally adopted son of both Donald Trump and Bill Gates (they have joint custody, it was a messy divorce)... and I would like 61 years of my back-allowance from both please.]

The motto of the modern Educational System in the U.S. should be: “Stupid — it’s the new ‘smart’.”  The destruction of our nations — the destruction of all of Christendom — the destruction of our people, our heritage, our faith, our laws, and our nation itself are evidence disproving the science-fiction myth of Evil-ution.  The destruction of all these things is consonant with the primary law of true science: entropy (also called homeostasis, from another perspective).  Things do not on their own come into existence from nothing, progress, construct, improve, evolve from simple to complex.  To the contrary, all things unless resisted and battled against degress, degenerate, disintegrate, dissolve, rot, decompose, decay, revert, and devolve from complex to simple.  It takes effort — “work” to swim or row upstream; it takes no effort to simply let yourself be carried by the current.  That is the difference between progress and entropy.  Of course, as you are “going with the flow”, you can also struggle and swim and doggy paddle and make a lot of noise and splash a lot of water while going with the current, and delude yourself that you are making progress; but when the roar of Niagara Falls becomes apparant, so will reality; but it will be too late.  The destruction of our language and the destruction of our people’s ability to think are not signs of “progress”; except, that such failures are viewed as “progress” by the antichrist elite, and their mindless footsoldiers, whose agenda and goal is the utter destruction of Christendom... since they cannot strike at God, they strike at His Creation (which is the real reason for hybridization and GMOs) and especially His Children.  The head becoming the tail and the tail becoming the head is not “progress” for the head; and the tail does not become the head naturally.

“If the Foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do?”  Every strike at the Foundations of Christendom is a cowardly, psychopathic strike against God.  The Foundations of Christendom are Sound Reformed Doctrine, the Law of God, Morality, Moral Boundaries: the difference between black and white, light and darkness, bitter and sweet, male and female, good and evil, truth and falsehood.  These foundations are attacked when they are misapplied, reversed or inverted entirely, or by the invention of an infinite number of “shades of grey” in between each polar opposite on the continuum; or by the utter rejection of the very concepts of diametrically opposed / polar opposites, such as “good” and “evil”, replaced with an existential subjective individuality.  God pronounces a curse on those who would call evil “good” and good “evil”; who would alter the moral boundaries that He forever established.  Moral boundaries were forever established each time God declared, “Thou shalt not!” and “This shalt thou do!”  Morality is the difference between what is right and what is wrong, in every area of life, in every Command of God.  Each Command of God is a moral issue; even if confused minds think that morality only refers to “sexual” matters (which notion is childish: the nongeneralized, compartmentalized. fractured, myopic misunderstanding of the whole, confusing the parts of the whole).

Words and their spelling, their pronunciation, their proper usage (agreeing in number and gender, as well as consistent verb tense, the use of proper pronouns in both gender and number, in subject and predicate) their application, their nature, and their meaning MATTER!   Language is thought.  A corrupt language is corrupt thought.  Corrupt minds cannot comprehend an incorrupt, Pure, Perfect, Holy Word of God, nor the God Who Thought, Decreed, and Commanded those Thoughts.  As already stated, “unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure [that is pure]; but even their mind and conscience is defiled”... then, as the passage continued, “in works they deny Him”.  Again we see the close relationship between faith and obedience (to the Law of God, which is the only “good works” of which Scripture speaks) and disbelief and disobedience / rebellion.  Polluted minds reject what God declared and instead invent their own alternative; or their own childish, doltish interpretation, making the Word of God of none effect.  Such shall receive due compense.  God established the only reality; those who reject it demonstrate that He has sent them Strong Delusion to believe a lie, to help draw them onward to the Judgment that He ordained for them — even as moths are drawn to the flame by their nature, which God gave to them for that purpose.

In a society in which truth is ignored and each student “is given a gold star” whether his performance is stellar or hellish, high school diplomas and college degrees are worthless.  Even in 1990 or earlier, Ivy League (more appropriately called today Poison Ivy League) colleges had to implement remedial math and English classes for incoming freshman since so many were unable to do simple math, construct simple sentences — or even fill out the college application...!  Such individuals have NO business being in college, and again, college degrees from such institutions (nearly all) are worthless.  Many athletes have their score “fudged” so they qualify to play for the college; or who knows, maybe test scores / class grades have been dropped entirely as qualifications to play sports...?  The majority of students being given high school diplomas are illiterate and do not know most of the material they were supposed to have been taught.  Such should NOT be given diplomas or graduated; they should simply be given “walking papers” indicating that “individual did not successfully learn the required material before ‘timing out’ by being too old to be in high school”; and neither should they be graduated from elementary school, for the same reason.  It costs the taxpayers TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to “not educate” millions of uneducatable “students” (in addition to “free meals” for millions of children.  Elementary and Middle and High School and College, for millions, have simply become a mass “day care” service.  This is immoral and unconstitutional and it is fraud; and it bogs down the system, helps impoverish our nation, dumbs down those who do belong in school, and provides an unsafe environment for the many predators that do not belong in school.  But, God said through the Prophet Hosea: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” (4:6)  You reap what you sow.   Those who do not obey all that God commanded, who do not train their children to obey God — do not love their children.  If they think that they do, they do not know what love is.

In the modern “schools” (Socialist Propaganda Indoctrination Terminals, or SPIT), each student is given a passing grade and graduated, even those individuals whose performance was pitifully poor, and their utter inability to grasp even the basics... because “society”* doesn’t know what to do with them — and they claim it would be an “unforgiveable sin” to damage their fragile psyches and egos; so the educational standards are lowered so that the incompetent and border-line retards can “feel better about themselves” (and even get a college degree! and high-paying job as a “token trophy employee”), and all of the intelligent children are dumbed down,** and their psyches, egos, and minds are sacrificed to the wicked, unappeasable gods of political correctness.  Who cares about their lives, psyches, egos, existence...? 

[* —that is, the “bevolent, self-appointed, self-assumed guardians [dictators] of society”: the equally dull-minded, confused, incompetent, corrupt, perverse, and treasonous politicians.

** One sign of a conquered nation is that its history is “re-written” by the conquerors.  Public schools in the U.S. today begin, in earnest, teaching American History starting at the Civil War.  The Socialist, Totalitarian-growing State wants all to imagine that the genesis of the U.S. was at the Civil War — conceived by the Federal State, to whom all are slaves.  This Federalist State does not want to teach history and principles and law concerning Freedom; which were once taught in the Revolutionary War (which would not have been possible without the Protestant Reformation: so declared our Second President, John Adams, renown German historian Leopold von Ranke (father of modern source-based history), and U.S. Secretary of the Navy and historian, George Bancroft; see also his, A Plea For The Constitution of the United States: Wounded in the House of its Guardians (1886) 88pp., Preface by F. Tupper Saussey, 7.00 + P&H.).  The State only wants its slaves to have thoughts of being good slaves.]

As the old saying goes, “If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything” and God declares, “To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin”.  God commands us to hate evil.  Those who do not hate evil do not fear or love God, and they do not love Righteousness, but, are lovers of themselves and pleasure; and their god is their belly (and their other lusts).  Scripture says that those who do not obey God’s Commandments do not even know God and the Truth is not in them.  Such persons are not of God.  Most “Christians” are complacent because they are under the delusion that they are their own person — despite Scripture that clearly informs us that those who are regenerated and redeemed “are not your own, ye were bought with a price,* therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit WHICH ARE GOD’s”.  Thus, the true believer, the one truly regenerated, truly redeemed, realizes that he is not merely a son of God, but also a slave / servant* of God (and remember, even though as sons we are co-heirs with Christ, even an heir differs little from a servant / slave** until he comes of age, Galatians 4:1), and the elect child of God, who is regenerated and redeemed, is also an ambassador of God.  Thus, the true Christian should realize that in all that he does, he is supposed to represent God (not himself) — and he is supposed to represent God as honourably as possible, in all that he does: in his attitude, in what and how he thinks, in what and how he speaks,*** in what and how he writes,*** in what and how he dresses, in what and how he eats, in how he responds to blatant evil parading as “goodness” in society, in how he responds to evil in his own family and church and community.  The unlawful 13th Amendment did not actually free the Negro slaves, it enslaved all on the Federal Plantation — under the delusion of Emancipation and equality (further obfuscated by the unlawful 14th Amendment): Ever since, all have been made equally slaves**** to the anti-Christian All-Powerful Federal State (and 50 mini-bureaucracies, and countless county and city bureaucracies) that replaced God.  As such, this pseudo-emancipation has crept into the thinking of the Church (which is supposed to guide the nation*****), and thus, the very concept of slave* to the average “Christian” is reprehensible.  The carnal mind, besmeared with filth, is (in it's own mind) too “refined” to be a “slave”, even of God.  Getting the carnal mind even to be a “servant” of God, is difficult; most imagine that such relation and duty to God is just for those “in full-time service” (whether they are paid or not)... but not for themselves (who live a secular life with little thought of obligation or true thanks to God).  No, they like the idea of being an “heir” and “ruling and reigning” —even though they have not been faithful in even a few things (but in their delusion they fancy that they think “nice thoughts” of God, every now and then, and sometimes they “feel” really pious), even though Christ said that if any one of His disciples would desire to be great he must first become a servant!  

[* Thus, the elect of God are TWICE owned: for God owns them first as Creator and secondly as Redeemer / Saviour.  The non-elect are owned only once — and that is why they, along with the vessels of wrath, are “disposable”.

** The Greek word doulos should be translated slave, not “servant”, in most cases; unless it is clear that the servant is a “hired” servant, and not an indentured or outright bond-servant.  Modern myths and spurious notions of pseudo-morality that have replaced the only morality established by the Law of God, have caused modern minds to think of slavery as a “evil” thing — all the while being willing and cheerful slaves to sin, and slaves to corrupt “governments” that could not fuction without the full cooperation and financial support (and tolerance and forgiveness) of the slaves.  Christian Anglo-Irish Statesman (of a nearly extinct species), Sir Edmund Burke, rightfully expressed, “There is a limit at which forbearance [tolerance] ceases to be a virtue”.  In fact, nowhere in the Word of God does Scripture even suggest that sin should ever be tolerated.  Sin and abominations never become wonderful “lifestyles” and “expressions of individuality”.  Evil never becomes good.  Perversions never become wholesome.  Sin and abominations are always to be put out and cut off.  Tolerance, in most cases, like ignorance, is a sin itself. 

Thus, because sinful “Christians” who consider themselves “emancipated from God”, and not His slaves, His chattel, have a perverse understanding of reality, of God’s Law, of the Standard of Morality, of what is expected of them, and they have a perverse relationship with God because they have a perverse concept of God’s Nature — they think (in practice, and therefore, in reality) that God is created in man’s sinful image.  How then can any other relationship that they have also not be perverse, when their relationship with their Creator, Master, and (presumed) Redeemer-Owner is perverse?  Is it any wonder then, that wives are emancipated from their husbands, with the delusion that they have the authority to divorce them and take half of what they own, including their husbands’ children, including their soon-to-be ex-husbands’ future paychecks?  Is it any wonder that Scripture refers modernly to what passes for His Church and His people as the “Harlot” Church...?  Harlots have the attitude, “My body — my choice!” and imagine that they answer to no one.  Is it any wonder then that children, following the weak role model of their castrated, emasculated fathers and the Jezebel model of their independent, masculine-role-usurping and unsubmissive mothers are then cursed by the sins of the fathers and mothers to live out what they have witnessed growing up; or more perversely, sink into the abyssmal abominations of homoperversion, as those gender roles established by God are blurred and skewed and contorted more and more?  Is it any wonder that children do not obey their parents, since their mothers do not obey their husbands and their fathers do not obey God?  Is it any wonder that a wicked, subverted, counter-culture society / “government” then empowers women to be emancipated from their husbands and empowers children to be emancipated from their parents — all the while, that “government” hypocritically demanding all to fawn and cower in unquestioned obeisance to the All-Powerful, Infallible, Immaculately conceived State...?  Thus, we see the “business end” of “the curse causeless shall not come” and “be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap”. 

Pronouns matter (but not in the delusional manner imagined by snowflakes and destroyers of Christendom).  The Bible was written in Hebrew and Greek with male-dominant pronouns (as all Indo-European languages also were also historically established), as the default / generic form... such as, “for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap” because that echoes the Divinely established Authority in Home, Church, and State; which reflects God’s Own Authority.  God is not a “she” or “her” or our “Heavenly Mother”.  Those who hate or resist God’s unchanging Order are antichrist.  An honorable son / servant loves what his father / master loves and hates what his father / master hates.  A dishonorable son / servant “makes apologies” for his father’s / master’s nature, character, thoughts, ways, and rules. 

Choose you this day...!  Christ or Antichrist.  Those are the only choices.  There is no “middle ground”, there are no “conscientious objectors” in the Battle between Good and Evil, in the War between Christ and Antichrist.  Those who don’t choose sides already have and just don’t realize it.  If you are not for Christ (according to His Rules, which are the same as God the Father’s Rules) then you are against Him.  Those who would be the friend of the world are the enemy of God. 

Remember: You don’t have to ask the Devil permission to obey God!  You don’t need to apologize to the world for obeying God.  If you are ashamed of God — He is ashamed of you!

The Spirit of Disobedience / Disbelief is the Spirit of Antichrist.  Ignorant, perverse, dishonest, disobedient “Christians” invent euphemisms, other spurious terminology, and / or “false doctrines” to explain away obedience to God and to justify their cherished sin and rebellion.  Humanism, progressivism, and liberalism are euphemisms for Satanism: Such are “Step-down” plans toward weaning the Christian off God altogether.  The carnal mind has an overly flattering, unrealistic sense of his own goodness, and, therefore, likes to view itself in a favorable light (no matter how irrational).  The carnal mind does not view it as being an “enemy of God”, or as “being at war with God” (and in so thinking they call God a liar), but they imagine it as merely “having a difference of opinion” — not realizing the paramount truth that no creature has any mental competence or legal standing to have a difference of opinion with the God of the Universe.  God created all that exists and nothing exists except He created it.  God owns all.  All is His property.  Those who believe differently call God a liar and are the enemy of God, and they believe those blasphemous thoughts because it is Strong Delusion that He has sent them.

*** We are to do all to the glory of God (and if we can’t do it to the glory of God, we should not be doing it): whether we eat or drink or whatsoever we do.  We are to let no corrupt communication come out of our mouths; and this includes writing.  And whatsoever our hand findeth to do, we are to do it with all our might, to the best of our ability, as unto the Lord.  I am not pedantic merely because I think it is fun, but because we represent God in all we do, and we are to offer Him our best.  I am not perfect.  I make mistakes and commit typoes and may even mispell a word; my keyboard is old and the keys sometimes don’t work perfectly (and the letters have worn off some of the keys entirely; but I am accustomed to it, and I don’t waste money on something new just because what I currently have may have a few flaws).  Furthermore, no one pays me to write these articles that I post here.  This one has taken me about 20 to 30 hours... to write, rewrite, refine.  I imagine some sentences could be reworked a little clearer.  However, there is also a balance to be actualized, sort of like “cost” must meet “demand”.  Since perfection is not possible, and since time is often of the essence, then there is a certain ratio of “time : quality” that must be recognized; otherwise, a meal would never be served, a book never completed, a house or painting or musical work never finished, etc.

I do not expect anyone to compare themselves to me.  I am not the Standard.  If I were to compare myself to true (old-school) professionals, I too would be chagrined.  I go back and rewrite every work of mine, even from 32 years ago.  If it is worth saying it is worthy saying properly, intelligently, and to the best that it can be said.  It is not an external competition, but an internal one: for each of us to strive to do all to the best of our ability, and to, day after day, continue to improve what our “best” is.  Is that not what people do in sports...?  No one has any excuse.  It does not matter how good of an education you had.  Education begins anew each day.  If a person chooses to read comic books and watch cartoons, instead of actually improving his mind, then his ignorance and substandard inadequacy is a choice.  Such individuals “have time” for a plethora of other things, but little time for self betterment or for God.  Those who read modern, watered down, liberal translations of the Bible will have a dumbed-down understanding of Scripture.  The modus operandi should not be to bring the quality of the Word of God down to modern ignorant man’s level, but for each person to improve his mind to better understand undiluted, uncorrupted truth.  It never ceases to amaze me that individuals who read quality books still speak and write and spell on a 4th-grade level.  Do they not pay attention when they read?  Do they not see how words are supposed to be spelled and how they are supposed to be used and constructed into coherent thought?  Even if they are content to remain garbage collectors, they should at least learn how to spell “Sanitation Engineer” or whatever the current euphemism is to make themselves deludedly “feel” more “professional”.  Even if they are content to remain garbage collectors — they should do it to the very best of their conscientious ability — as unto God Himself; and not cut corners, cheat, steal, lie, curse, do sloppy work, demonstrate no respect for other people’s person or property (garbage cans, lawns, cars, fences, sidewalks, etc.).

**** When 50% or more of all that you earn and own, 50% of your labor — your life and breath — is taken from you... when you are taxed, over and over, each year, for the same thing property that you “own” (and you are taxed when you buy it, taxed each year that you own it, taxed when you sell it, told how you must comply each year with that which you own it — and then pay additional taxes, fees, and licenses in order to “comply”), when you are told what you can and cannot do, when you can and cannot do it, how you can and cannot do it, etc. — when you are even told what measures for your own health you are and are not allowed to pursue... when the very “official” currency that you own (with which you must “pay” those taxes) has been denuded of all value,* and the only “value” that remains is a superstition (which is why other nations of the world are shedding their U.S. dollars) propped up by a lie — what is that if it is not slavery...?

* The dollar of today is worth less than .01 penny, compared to the dollar of 1915 and nearly all of the real precious and semi-precious metal has been removed from our coinage (where did all those hundreds of tons go?) and replaced with electro-painted lead; and when the fraudulent so-called “National” debt is over $32.6 trillion (a number so huge no one can actually understand it — and it is unpayable; and is not actually owed by responsible U.S. citizens.*  Not only has the currency been denuded and nearly 100% of its value stolen, the “government” continues to double taxes, many times over.  The people of the U.S. have no idea exactly all that they have been robbed of.

***** However, instead of being a guide, it is a blind guide, with the blind leading the blind.  The modern Apostate “Christian” Church seems to be the victim / protagonist Ichabod Crane, who succumbed to the “Headless horseman” in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820), written by the Orkney-Scottish- and Welsh-descended Washington Irving.  Ichabod is from the Hebrew, meaning, “The Glory has departed”.  When the news was reported that the Ark of the Covenant was lost, captured by the Philistines in battle, and that the battle was lost, and that Eli’s wicked sons Hophni and Phinehas were both slain, the decadent, permissive, obese prophet Eli, upon hearing the news, fell backward in his chair and broke his neck.  Eli’s grandson, with that anti-illustrous background, was then named, Ichabod, “the Glory has departed”.  Furthermore, the Israelites, as a whole, were so spiritually dead and so aloof from God and the things of God that they did not even notice that the Glory of the Lord had departed.  They did not even notice that it was gone: the Shekinah Glory / Manifest Presence of the Almighty, which had for over a century hovered over the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant, whether it was housed in the Tabernacle or on poles being carried by the Levites, guiding them into battle as the Pillar of Cloud by day and Pillar of Fire by night.  That Presence had protected them from the Egyptians during the Israelites’ flight from Egypt — and they did not even miss it.  Why did not the sky above the Tabernacle seem “naked” to them? which formerly had reached high into the heavens, as if connecting God to His people.  How could they not even realize that their magnificent “Divine Nightlight” was no longer there?  How could they have not noticed, as now, they had to walk, stumbling in darkness, through the camp, back to their tents at night?  The huge encampment of more than 3 million Israelites must have been spread over several square miles, with the Tabernacle in the center.  At night, it must have seemed like an erupting volcano.  Without it, at night, they were left in total darkness, whenever the moon was beyond the horizon or if it was a New Moon, or if it was an overcast night.  God’s people, the peoples of Christendom are no different today.  God is last on their agenda (unless they need Him), last in their imagined importance.  God gets the leftovers of their time, talents, and income.  God gets the “short end of the stick” while, whenever there is a discrepancy, sinful man rules in favor of himself.  If man “runs out of time or money”, it is always God’s Time or Money that was spent. 

Irving’s short story is set in the time of the original Dutch settlement of New York (then called, New Amsterdam); and interestingly, the Dutch and some other kindred peoples were once known by the Romans as Guthones Teutones, which came to mean, “the people of God”.  The English language (back through Midle English to Old English, also called Anglo-Saxon) derived from the German language.  The Modern English word Dutch is actually from the Middle Dutch word duutsch, which is from the Old High(lander) German word duitisc, which is from Proto-Germanic theudō, from the proto-Indo-European root-stem teuta, from which the word Teuton is also derived, as well as the Modern German word Deutsch.  The letters t, th, and d are all often interchangeably etymologically (as can simply be seen in the words torn and thorn and the name Dorn).

The word crane means, “to cry out hoarsely”. 

Whether Irving intended the depth of meaning as I have portrayed, in his choice of the name of the protagonist in his short story, and the concept of a “Headless Horseman” is not known.  It, in fact, is doubtful, as he was an author and served in various diplomatic roles in Europe, including U.S. Minister to Spain.  Over a decade of service in Europe, his health and spirits waned and he became rather pessimistic about any goodness in man.  He was actually buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetary, New York.  However, it seems that God may have intended it, as it depicts perfectly the state of the Apostate “Christian” Church today.  Often even the Prophets themselves did not understand the visions that they were given, and were simply told to write down what they thought that they saw.]

Bad habits, of both omission and commission, are the moral rust of the nature that calcify the conscience and ossify the character, and ironically, render the will and the backbone into virtual photophobic jellyfish.  Those who do not stand up to do what is right on a regular basis, as autonomically as breathing, never will.  Those who do not stand up for what is right when there is little-to-no persecution will not have the courage or will to do so in the face of actual persecution — even to the point of denying Christ.  The majority “talk big”... that is, until courageous action is actually required.

What is your time worth per hour?  How many times would you work 20, 30, 100 hours for free...?  Is the servant no longer worthy of his hire or is a minister no longer worthy of honor?  Do you believe the Word of God to be True?  Shall a man rob God?  Do you find value, receive benefit from the articles written and posted here?  If not, why are you here?  If you do, why does the Word not produce fruit in you? —because it is not mixed with Faith (a Gift of God’s Holy Spirit to the elect of His people wherewith they believe, and whereby truth they learn becomes part of their lives)... (Hebrews 4:2); true faith produces God’s Works, obedience to His Law and His Plan, and sensitivity to His Spirit as one is day by day, through reading the Word and putting it into practice, transformed into the Image of Christ.  No fruit is produced in the natural man because to them it is merely “information”... and again, like the natural man, they behold themselves in a mirror, and go away without making any corrections, thinking none need to be made.  It is draining to preach to the caskets in a funeral parlor, or those on ice in a morgue.  Christendom is about to fall, and most are ill concerned. 

Maybe such believe in the spurious Antichrist, Jesuit-Zionist doctrine of the “Rapture”, which was not believed by any of the Reformers or early pillars of the faith, until the fraud Scofield, funded by Jacob Schiff (who funded the Bolshevik Revolution) injected his spurious notes into Protestantism, which was lulled to sleep by the peaceful delusion of “I'll fly away” irresponsibility; which is what has caused evil to flourish.  See my book, The Futurist and Rapture Conspiracy: Brief Exposé of History of these Subversive Doctrines—& Biblical Refutation, 164pp., pb., 14.50 + P&H. exposes new-age false doctrines, not held by Reformers / Bible greats of early modern era.
