Worldview matters

By Gman4326

Acts 7:2

Brethren and presbyters, listen to me. The GOD of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran...“42% of the time PDB in president Obama’s first term 41% in second term”. Breitbart news

The Presidential daily briefing (PDB) began June 17, 1961. Who was president at that time? The 35^th president of the United States was John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963) nickname JFK. Just two months before something incredibly embarrassing to both the citizen and to the administration. In an attempt by the CIA and rebel forces to liberate a certain island group just a few miles off the Florida Keys ended in public disaster for kith and kin. We know it today as the Bay of Pigs invasion. Fidel Castro along with Che Guevara with their communist rebels overthrew the previous government who was backed by us then. Since the cold war was going on and to have a communist government near our shores was unthinkable in the 1960’s. After that debacle every president receives either the briefing in person or in writing. If a person believes that their country has made bad choices in politically correct lingo or what a certain set values results in America tis a thee land of slavery turns into a small footprint in international affairs. If that person ran for president being a one term senator and never hiding the fact that he was but to have a capable staff who used wordsmith techniques and the blame game would never win right? If such a person does exist would they regularly attend a PDB? Would they do so out of tradition or because their worldview demands the opposite? What should the voter-citizen opinion be? Those who oppose such a person should be touting? That person does exist in the white house. Their worldview demands not to attend the PDB on a regular basis. Those who believe that tradition trumps worldview is frustrated that anyone in the oval office would do not do it. A country that is considering a melting pot needs only one train of thought and that is patriotism. The opposition point of view is to remind the voter he was dumb for voting this person to begin with. Voter-citizen response is I don’t care traditionalist of the past. As I am trying to demonstrate doing something exegetically means taking the time to teach in such fundamental level is far more important than 15sec I told you so and tens of millions of dollars to boot. The cold war was considered a time period when ¹ CCCP and the United States were at war with each other. Another way to say it is a political stalemate.

Religio illicita

 

Gman4326
As I went ahead to write on the topic of Kaiser Kurios millions of my brethren who will never read this because of governments and societies who hate the name of Iesous Χριστός (Jesus Christ) still echoes to this very day the other things that happened in the past that still have significance today Religio Illicita which means illegal religion and libellus a paper that a person has sacrificed to a pagan god both can be found on the web at least on Wikipedia. Church history along with our faith in Holy Undivided Trinity is what connects us these terms made not be used in China or India but do exist to remind us so long as people believe they moral and therefore good the universal condemnation found Romans 1-3 still has impact and so has the sun rises and sets the word of the LORD never goes out of style.

Symbolism is used for WHAT?

By Gman4326

Progressive dramatist in concert with sociology as part of their earning a degree from liberal arts school have come up with I’m okay you’re okay form of color symbolism. A reason for this is grants are given out to groups who are willing to use their talents to educate kids.

List

      I.            White = purity

   II.            Blue = sadness

III.            Red = anger

This prose allegory is far too simplistic construct quite frankly an insult certainly meant for those in the future who will understand this presupposition and without teaching why the civil magistrate who gives the money to colleges intends the dumbing down of the future parents to bring about a hive mindset is anyone guess. If this be true, then all I can say is shame on you workers of iniquity. I went to ask for a grant once and found out that the ones available are given to support climate change and I’m okay you’re okay (collectivism).  If they are trying to replace verse and traditional allegory they are doing a pretty bad job of it in the here and now and the current crop of parents are not dumb and there is fatal flaw and that is change is constant today’s stable economy is tomorrow’s collapse. No institution is immune from bad policy which tries to put a square peg into a round whole.

Kaisar Kurios and our need to be connected to the past

By Gman 4326

Reason: Dr. James White mentioned this over the weekend in Boulder Colorado

Topic: Kaisar Kurios and our need to be connected to the past

Our faith spans a near two thousand year period but how many of us know why we say Jesus is Lord? In order for the Roman Emperor to maintain his authority over a vast territory he needed the people to feel they were in charge over their lives the simplest solution was to have an inclusive society the  exception was with the Jews and so long as the keep themselves away from promulgating to Greco-Roman citizen and resident the civil magistrate left them alone. The early gentile converts were from the lower classes read Paul letter to Philemon. Here is what Dr. Sproul wrote on the subject:

"The loyalty oath required by Roman citizens to demonstrate their allegiance to the empire in general and to the emperor in particular was to say publicly, Kaisar Kurios, that is, Caesar is lord. In the first-century church, Christians bent over backward to be obedient to civil magistrates, including the oppressive measures of Caesar, and yet, when it came to making the public affirmation that Caesar is lord, Christians could not do so in good conscience. As a substitute for the phrase, Caesar is lord, the early Christians made their affirmation by saying, Jesus is Lord. To do that was to provoke the wrath of the Roman government, and in many cases, it cost the Christian his life. Therefore, people tended not to make that public affirmation unless they were moved by the Holy Spirit to do so. The simple creed, Jesus is Lord, or more full statements, such as the Apostles Creed give an outline of basic, essential teachings. The creeds summarize New Testament content."

~R.C. Sproul

A people of faith that has a strong connection with the past can overcome more recent trends the result is a people with enough patience to endure pebbles rippling across a stream of water.

Horror: delving into the human psyche

Grudge

By Russell Le Masters

Update 4/9/15

It is a moonless night when someone knocks at the door. Come on in go ahead and take these items stored in box over there. What are you doing, questions the big fat ugly guy? I dare you call 911, Gain retorts.

Twenty years earlier.

Sixteen year old Gain is in his room on the bed. I’m not earning enough at my part time job and I deserve more. I have asked for more work but the manager keep saying no. So how do I rectify this problem?  I can quit my job or steal from the till. If I quit my job then I will not receive any compensation and I want the money. The manger can’t count that bastard should give me the extra hours. I need to get ready for work, ending the monologue by Gain sent.
There is a building that sits on a 4 acre lot. Its dimensions are 40 square foot length by 600 square foot width. The parking lot entrance of this dive joint goes from east to west.

Outside the business.

Hello my friend says Gain. Yo, ready to work responds friend.  Say, do you wish to earn extra cash asks Gain? How so responds friend. By taking from the till says Gain. Whoa if we get caught I’ll be lucky to get fired. And the worst case scenario if you agree to the proposal it is possible to go to jail for theft interrupts Gain. Come on lighten up the manager does not know how to count Gain said with full confidence. You are too cocky my friend but I’m in answers Wolf pack.
THE next day
I'm leaving now. Okay, says the mother.  You in my office say the manager. Me, responds Gain. Yes, answers the manager. I counted your till from last night and you are a hundred short. I called your parents and they are going to pick you up and you are fired. In the car now, demanded the father. Yes, father Gain said half-heartily.  When the manager called me and said that you and your friend are responsible I am so mad at you. For the first time the manager could count. How dare him. I’m special does not everybody knows this thinks Gain.
Life is not fair, said Gain. You know I can drop you at the police office and have them call the dive to see if they will press charges I bet the manager will file charges after giving his actions a second thought. That statement is childish at your age son. So stop it right now and don’t give me the yes father response, answers Gain father. The father drives into the family’s driveway. He stops the car and puts into neutral. The two get out of car. This friend of yours is not allowed on the property. But father; not a single word get in the house now interrupts the father. Gain brother is currently at evening church services; we may not know how diseased others hearts are but on a daily basis we know ours, the decisions we make as individuals effect how we live tomorrow our federal head Adam made that possible when he rebelled against God in the garden dale. When you were asked to memorize this statement; may God grant me repentance and the repeat it as a record playing the same tune over and over we are acknowledging the Sovereignty of the three and the one says, the pastor. Thank you for the speech says the big fat ugly man. Do you need a ride home, asks the pastor. Yes please, answer the man. Thank you for the ride home, say the man. No Problem see you Sunday, respond the Pastor. Step, step one foot goes after the other. I’m Home mother, father, say the man. How was services, ask the mother. Well, replies the big fat ugly man. Do I smell coffee, ask the man? Yes, I answered. Don’t mention this to the parents but a friend is coming over. Certainly, respond the big fat ugly man. After making the coffee Gain leaves the home. The brother looks through the window and sees him leave with Wolf pack. Not knowing the situation Gain brother was asked this question. Son where is your brother, ask the mother? Out with a friend from his work, he answers. Thanks, responds the mother. Mom, why do you ask? IF your brother is with Wolf then he is in trouble with your father and I answer the mother. Mom, why do you ask? IF your brother is with Wolf then he is in trouble with your father and I answer the mother. Shortly after the conversation the big fat ugly man goes for an evening stroll. Gain returns home and finds his father is waiting for him. Your mother told me that the person I told you yesterday to stay away from came over and you left with him, said the father. Who told you this ask Gain? That does not matter answers the father. He said something. I know he did, I said. You have only two options get another job and stay or leave, demand the father. I’ll find a different job father, I said bitterly. I’m going for a walk. If you could look upward and outward this day a vision of a dark gray skies would be seen. Ouch do I have lead for feet with melancholy in my voice. What right did he have being so polite while stabbing me in the back! I have put up with it too often. The straw that broke the camel's back this time I know he did it and with an air superiority to boot. He rated on me, I said to my friends individually? Words such as, he must have a simple malady, let it go or forgive him. Oh have I tried, but that big fat ugly man would be in my dreams having a big grin on his face while I was in a fetal position. Always asking me where I was going to leave me be or leave me alone you big fat ugly man protruding from my vocal cords but oh no that grin even more menacing. When I awoke sweat dripping all over my body I was again having coffee with Irish crème and sugar my conversations are always half-hearted this was not a dream but my waking nightmare. I have a different job as a part timer will not be home till late. So long, says that big fat ugly man. Saying upon my heart I will continue to nurse such anger I can pay him back. Treachery is my bologna sandwich and a twinkle in my eye. Hi, says the big fat ugly man. Sorry, for your loss. You mean our loss, retort in disbelief. Oh certainly, in a patronizing tone in response. Will he not stop asking me about my emotional state; yes I am answering his caterwauling tone. I need to leave I’ll come back this evening. Hi, finally back man I’m going to grab me a beer. Sorry for you loss, mention friend. Thanks a lot, my response. Say are you interested in going over the fat guy’s home? Certainly, answers friend. That big fat ugly man will know sorrow tonight. Knock Knock comes from the door, Come on in, says the big fat ugly man. The items are in box over there. Move aside big fat ugly man, Gain demands. What are you doing question the big fat ugly man. I’m taking everything portable so I dare you call 911, I retort. Why, call me that, he asks? You have made my life a living hell, I respond. I’m not going to call 911 if I do so you will go to jail and I unlike you I do care, he argues. I don’t care anymore you murder, I respond. Out of my house you criminal, come back I’ll call the police. Bye YOU FAT UGLY PIG, my grudge is satisfied. The End!

 

The will of God

By Gman4326

As God and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit love is complex so is his will according to *Dr. R.C Sproul senior it is in three forms ^!decretive, prescriptive and disposition. God’s decretive will is private is not made known until they are ready to make it plain as in the case of Creation, His legislative or prescriptive will which deals with the covenant and law the third is His disposition where they are not the author of sin but allows to happen by secondary means and the result is the person on the day judgment is then held accountable for their action taken. Genesis 1, 3; Deut. 29:29, Genesis 50:20, Isaiah 10
