The Law vs. the Spirit - II

All too often the Spirit and the Law are pitched against each other as if they are two opposite things.
But then I ask you: where does the Spirit come from, and where does the Torah come from? Do they not both come from the same Side?

The Spirit is not the opposite of the Law, one does not replace the other.
Instead, the infilling with the Spirit brings one over to the other side so that the Law no longer stands in contrast with us as an external contrasting element, a reminder of our shortcomings.

After all, the Law, coming from the side of Life, contrasts with everything coming from the side of Evil (death), and as long as we have an identity born from the latter side we will experience the Law as a contrasting, accusing element convincing us of guilt, sin and death.

The Law (like a pure conscience), by means of contrast, outlines sin and death, and this is what Paul is referring to when he writes in Romans 7:13:

“Did that which is good [the Law], then, bring death to me?
By no means! It was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.”

The moment we are re-created by the Spirit as new creations with an identity from that Spirit, the Torah no longer is an element of contrast, and therefore, being part of Life and Good, the only contrast we then experience is the contrast with the Law of destruction, ‘sin having made a home in us’. Since we no longer have an identity then which is born from Evil, this element of sin now is the alien contrasting element within us.

Paul writes in Romans 7:16-20:

“Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the Law is good.
So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.”

[in other words: the identity born from Faith no longer experiences the Law as a contrast because it is born from the same Spirit from whence the Law comes; hence the Law –previously experienced as the element which brought to light our existence in a sin, evil-based nature leading to death- is incorporated in our new nature, and that which stands in contrast with the Law is now experienced by us as alien, something we no longer identify with, ‘sin which dwells within us’]

“For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh.
I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.
Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.”

[in other words: an alien element, ‘sin having made a home in us’, stands in contrast with our new identity; IT acts within us, but IT is no longer US, whereas previously WE would have our identity in IT, and God’s Spirit and the Law would have been the contrasting elements causing discomfort and pain]

It is important to keep Paul's words in mind once we are becoming new creations through Faith; the wicked thoughts and feelings we may experience within us are the result of sin having made a home in us.
They are like an evil conscience bringing pain and discomfort, and just as was the case with guilt and shame originating from old nature contrasting with the conscience coming from God, we need to learn to submit ourselves in silence to God in such moments.

Since we no longer have an identity derived from evil, this part of ‘sin within us’ stands in contrast with whom we really are, and the experience of this contrasting, alien element of evil within us does NOT mean we are sinning! It is the remnant of our former nature trying to lock us back into its reality.

John writes in his letters that whoever is born of God CANNOT sin, but it does not imply that sin within us is completely absent.

To sin means to build further upon and derive our identity from sin within us.
Once we are born from God this element of sin within us is experienced as an alien intruder, and whatever thoughts and feelings IT may cause to rise in us, this does NOT equal sinning, because it is alien and we experience it as something which brings discomfort and pain, just as our conscience would be experienced at the time we still had an identity born from evil.
As long as we stand as an observer of this alien element, knowing all to well our powerlessness and thus yearning for God’s deliverance, we remain out of its reach.

So, the title of this post is the very thing which is so wrong with today’s Christianity!

It is based on a satanic misconception which has led to all manner of misinterpretations, an artificial separation which has kept the Christian community from reaching the fullness that the new Life brings with it, a separation which set up ‘Christianity’ as an element of contrast with 'Judaism'.

I regard this phenomenon as a diabolical ploy to keep people locked into ignorance.
It is a satanic strategy which seeks to prevent the Jewish people from accepting and believing in their Messiah, and it keeps the Christians from realizing the fullness of their Faith because they are separated from their Torah roots.

But Satan’s ploys are used by God as part of His plan, to Satan’s eternal frustration.

God allowed this to happen so that the Gentile believers in the Messiah and the Jewish believers in the Torah need each other to reach the fullness of the promise of Faith.
Both the natural olive branch and the grafted branch need to come together in order to bring forth the fullness of fruit, both need each other just as a husband needs his wife and vice versa in order to make the marriage blossom and complete.

Satan used the Politically Correct conformists in the early Christian community to tear what originally was a Judaic reform movement loose from its roots and marry the movement with pagan elements, turning it into a state approved religion.
The conformists were rewarded, the non-conformists were persecuted.

And the big lie at the root of the separation is the Law vs. Spirit argument, an artificially induced separation based on misinterpretation.

Faith does NOT turn the Law into trashcan-fodder.
The moment God’s Spirit gives birth to our new identity which is rooted in God, we incorporate the Law in us instead of being separate from it.

The moment we say that we are ‘under the Law’, or ‘above/beyond the Law’ (based on a false argument of Spirit vs. the Law), we acknowledge the Law as being separate from us, or else we could not be under, above or beyond it.

Since the Torah and the Spirit come from the same Side, the Law being the external manifestation and the Spirit being the internal manifestation of that Side, our new identity born from the Spirit CANNOT EVER be separate from the Torah as if the Torah could be an alien contrasting element.

The Spirit internalizes that which once stood as an external contrasting element to our sinful (evil-based) nature (“...and I will write My laws upon their heart”).

The Law and the Spirit are not two opposing elements, how could they?
It would mean that God is divided against Himself.

Putting the Torah into practice does NOT imply that we are under the Law and therefore have lost the Faith. Again, this is based on the faulty argument of Faith vs. Law.
If Faith internalizes the Law, as the Bible states, then putting the Torah into practice does not imply that we are under the Law, but rather it means we simply act out that which is written in our hearts.

If a nation’s laws are based on a common sense, then living as a ‘law-abiding citizen’ does not mean that you are under the law as if the law restricts and limits you, it simply means that you are of the same mindset as the law.

A criminal however, being in contrast with the law, will experience the law as an accusing and limiting element, and if the criminal’s nature makes him incompatible with the concepts of the law, then for him being able to live in a country without legal persecution means that he is under the law, restraining himself in a legalistic way.

When Paul writes that we are no longer under the Law, it does NOT mean that he throws the Law in the trashcan.
It means that the Law no longer is a contrasting and condemning element because we now have a new identity planted in us through God’s Spirit.

We are no longer under the Law because the Spirit within us has reconciled us to God so that the Law is no longer an accuser, nor does it mean that we can transgress every commandment and do as we like, because the Spirit which corroborates the validity of the Law is the Spirit who gives life to our new identity.

When we identify with that new identity, how can we act contrary to the Life force who inspired that identity by setting the Law aside?

No more than we can do Good when our nature has been inspired (corrupted) by Evil, we cannot do evil when our nature has been renewed by God’s Spirit. If we do evil, then we testify of ourselves that we still identify with evil.

I John 3:6:
“No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has either seen Him or known Him”

I John 3:9:
“No one born of God commits sin; for God’s nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God”.

I John 5:18:
“We know that anyone born from God does not sin, but He who was born from God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him”

And this is what John has to say about the Faith vs. Law argument, I John 2:4:
“He who says ‘I know Him’ but disobeys His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in Him”

I John 5:3:
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our Faith.”

Here, in a nutshell, John refers to the things I have been writing about in my series of articles about the Trees.

‘Whatever is born of God’ (our new identity planted in us by God’s Spirit) ‘overcomes the world’ (God saving us from sin dwelling with in). The Law is no longer a contrast but incorporated within us, and it is God’s Spirit within us who fulfills and keeps the Law.
All we have to learn is to ‘let go and let God’.

The case presented in this article can be compared to the story of a man who does not smoke, and he hangs a non-smoking sign in his hallway.
He invites two other men over, one does not smoke, the other does smoke.

The one who does not smoke is in complete agreement with his friend; he knows about the dangers of smoking, he does not like the smell of burning tobacco, and he most certainly understands his friend for putting up a sign of non-smoking in order to avoid this repugnant, unhealthy smell from lingering in his home.

The other man is a smoker, and although he can understand the friend’s need to keep his house a smoke-free zone, he enjoys his cigarettes.
Because of his liking for tobacco his friend’s sign of non-smoking acts like a contrast to his preferences, and entering his friend’s house feels like coming under the law of his friend, forcing him to make concessions.

When he approaches the house he feels forced to put out his cigarette, because in the hallway the non-smoking sign is visible for all guests.
Sometimes when he goes over he secretly lights up a cigarette in the men’s room, because, the non-smoking sign after all is in the hall and therefore the most direct interpretation would be that it is intended for the entire hall but not the entire house, and furthermore, in the men’s room there’s always a room open, so who can be bothered by him smoking for a little while in the men’s room?

But he understands his friend, always telling himself that the need for a smoking-free zone is good for non-smokers, but people like him who are smokers have no need of a non-smoking area, they should be free to smoke and indulge in their habit.

This metaphor illustrates the false argument of Law vs. Spirit.
The Law (non-smoking sign) is not a burdensome commandment to the friend sharing the same mindset as his friend. He is not under his friend’s law when he enters his house because he is not in contrast with his law.
If the entire world consisted of people like the non-smoking friend, then there would not even be a need to hang up a non-smoking sign in the hall.

The other man was not of the same mindset, and because of that, the non-smoking sign stood in contrast with him as an external element of restriction.
He did not identify with his friend’s ideas, instead he identified with a different set of ideas.

It is sad to see how this whole false idea of Spirit VERSUS Law has served to not only separate Christians from their roots and thus prevent them from reaching the fullness of their Faith, but also it has served to create Christianity as a religion separate from the Torah and thus separate from the Jewish religion, thus bringing forth a wide gap between what is now called Judaism (which ALSO has its own man-based concepts integrated in it) and Christianity.

The ‘Christian’ is looked upon by a lot of Jews as a strange creature who needed to steal from a religion to create its own, while the Jew is considered by some Christians as a poor slave of an outdated Law in need of deliverance from the Law through the Spirit.

It even has gone so far that there is a theory that, whereas Christians need the saving grace of the Messiah, the Jews have the Law and do not need the grace of the Messiah.
This too is a satanic lie to perpetuate the separation and prevent God’s children from reaching the fullness of their Faith.

The written Torah points forward to the living Torah, and how on earth can anyone seriously separate the two and give one portion to the Goyim and the other to the Jews and say that it is God’s will to have different, separated paths to Salvation?

It’s the equivalent of actually carrying out Solomon’s commandment to slice the baby in half and give one half to one woman, and the other half to the other woman (just read the story in I Kings 3:16->).
It’s a preposterous lie.

I know that some of you may not agree with what I write here, but I challenge you to read the books of the prophets of the Old Testament, and pay close attention to their words about the end times.
You will find time and again that they do NOT describe these times as times when the commandments and ordinances as ordained in the Torah are abolished for God’s people, quite the contrary, nor do they speak of the end times as an age where the Sabbath has been replaced.

I am not trying to Judaize anyone, I am just shedding some light on what I consider to be false premises within Christianity (and Judaism).
Once my eyes were opened to the beautiful continuity of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ covenant (the new covenant really being phase II of the prophecy contained within the ‘old’ covenant) I wondered about how it had been possible for me to miss this link for so many years while all the time it was right under my nose.

Christianity cannot be separated from the Torah just as Judaism cannot be separated from that which the Torah points forward to: the living, life-changing Spirit brought to us by the Messiah, Yahshua.

To use the sword of the lie to separate the two is the equivalent of cutting the baby in half.

I am convinced that right now a time of great change is upon us, and part of this change is the destruction of the lie which has separated the Jews from their Messiah, and the Christians from their roots, a lie which has prevented both sides from reaching the fullness of Faith and become one new creation in the Messiah.

All praise and honour to our liberator, Messiah Yahshua, the living image of YHWH.

The Law vs. the Spirit - I

The argument between Christians and orthodox Jews is all too often pitched as a Spirit vs. Law argument, as if the two come from two irreconcilable sides.

The truth is that both the Law and the Spirit come from the same side, and the argument of Law vs. Spirit is based on faulty interpretations given to Jesus’ words and Paul’s letters.

NEVER has the apostle Paul written in favor of abrogating the Torah, never has Jesus uttered a word against God’s commandments.
When James spoke of not troubling the Gentiles with all kinds of commandments, very often what he said afterwards is forgotten, Acts 15:19->:

“Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled and from blood.
For from early generations Moses has had in every city those who preach him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”

In other words: there’s no need of immediately instructing Gentiles in every aspect of the Torah, because after a Gentile believer has received the gift of Salvation through the Spirit, almost in every town there are synagogues providing the believers with the opportunity to learn more and be instructed in the Torah.

In the post series about the Tree of Life vs. the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil I have already outlined how the process of Salvation implies being saved from the consequences of the choice for the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

I mentioned how the existence symbolized in the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is based on opposites which help to outline and define each other. Under the principles of this system, falling FROM Good therefore automatically implies falling TO Evil; in the system of this Tree there is no middle way.

Through our choice to disobey God’s commandment NOT to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil we therefore fell away from God's will (Good), and we automatically fell under the will of the opposite, Evil, and the part of God which remains within us (our contrasting conscience representing Good) creates the conflict within us.

Because -as the result of falling away from God-, our identity now comes from Evil, Good is seen as the alien intruding element (in other words, our conscience is seen as the alien pain bringing element due to the fact that we no longer identify with Good).

When we fall away from Good to Evil, the induced guilt acts as a propellor to keep us locked into the guilt-shame-compensation mechanism, and our active part in this mechanism robs us from our lifeforce just as a hamster on a perpetual treadmill loses its energy without getting anywhere and remains stuck in the treadmill until it is completely exhausted.

Salvation implies a second choice opposite from the choice Adam made, the choice to ‘disobey’ the will of Evil and be lifted up to the will of Good.
This choice comes in the form of a yearning to be reunited with God and asking Him to save us from our current state.

The result from this new choice, our yearning, is ‘Faith’.
Through Faith we now are lifted up from Evil and become (re-)identified with Good.

Our conscience (once bringing guilt due to our standing in contrast with it), now disappears as an alien element of pain and discomfort.
Instead, the intrusions of Evil upon our soul and psyche are now seen as the intruding alien elements, a false conscience if you like, causing discomfort and pain.

This discomfort and pain now drives us to seek a solution in our new Faith, and so, the contrasting ‘conscience of Evil’ acts as a propellor for the friction-pain-Faith renewal mechanism, just as when we had fallen into identification with Evil the presence of our God-given conscience acted as a propellor for the guilt-shame-compensation mechanism.
And just as we lose our life-force through our participation in the latter mechanism, our participation in the friction-pain-Faith renewal mechanism supplies us with life-force.

Where the mechanism of guilt-shame-compensation served to keep us locked into a perpetual state of Evil where the part of God within us ends up as a sacrifice on the altar of Evil, the mechanism of 'friction-pain-Faith renewal' serves to lift us up into a perpetual ever increasing state of Good where the part of Evil within us is dying upon the altar of Good.

In the aformentioned series of articles, I mentioned how Yahshua came to deliver us from the consequences of the choice for the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
When He was crucified He, the embodiment of the Tree of Life, literally supplanted the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil with the Tree of Life.

The apostle Paul mentioned that through Faith we likewise die to the Law, meaning, that in His crucifixion Jesus nailed the identity which considers the Law (and our conscience) an alien contrasting element due to the fact that this identity is birthed through obeying (believing in) Evil, to the cross, and on the cross that corrupted identity died to the Law.
Instead, the identity of Faith which does NOT consider the Law an alien thing is resurrected in its place.

So, the fact that Paul writes about having died to the Law does not mean that the Law is annulled as some like to preach, it means that our old corrupted identity has died, and through Faith we now have come alive on the opposite side, the Side which birthed the Law so that the Law no longer acts as an alien contrasting element (remember where it is written ‘…and I shall write my Laws unto their hearts’?), but instead it is incorporated within us and no longer is experienced as a contrast bringing forth knowledge of sin, guilt and ultimately death.

The Law never brought death, but because it came from the side of Life, we, having an identity born from Evil which comes from the side of Death standing in contrast with the Law, naturally found ourselves exposed to and subject to Death since we did not have an identity born from the same side that brought forth the Law.
Just as a lamp when it is lit up makes things previously hidden in the dark visible, the Law made our sins and shortcoming visible by standing in contrast with them.

Now, keep what I just wrote in mind, and ponder on what Paul wrote in Romans 6:20:

“When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness” .
[in other words: when your identity sprang from Evil and you were locked into the identification zone with Evil, Good was an alien contrasting element to your soul]

Romans 6:22:

“But now that you have been set free from sin and have become servants of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life”
[in other words: now that your identification with Evil has been destroyed and through Faith you now identify with Good, the elements inspired by Evil now have become the alien contrasting element to your new identity]

Colossians 2:13:

“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.”
[in other words: your identity birthed by Evil and thus keeping you locked into the identification zone with Evil, thereby turning the Law (like your conscience) into an alien element, is nailed on the Cross and replaced by an identity birthed through Faith where the Law (and your conscience) no longer is a contrasting element (‘contrary to us’)]

So, when Paul states we have died to the Law, it means that our old identity birthed by Evil has died to the Law, and our new identity birthed by the Spirit of YHWH has come alive within us, an identity that no longer stands in contrast with the Law but which is in harmony with the Law.

The interpretation which states that Paul meant that the Law is annulled is based on a misunderstanding and a fundamental corruption of what Paul meant.

Didn’t he state also in Romans 3:31:

“Do we then overthrow the Law by this Faith?
By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the Law.”

I don’t think Paul could have stated it more clearly.
The problem with some Christians that instead of seeking and yearning for understanding they yield to the ego based need to slap a veneer of pseudo-understanding on a text, which in essence is just an expression of the old Evil based identity to provide a means of justification for itself and thus prevents being overcome by the new identity birthed through Faith.

Both Jesus and Paul never advocated overthrowing the Law.
To understand their words you must take into consideration what they were addressing during their time.

The religion which is now referred to as Judaism is not based on the Torah alone, it also consists of oral traditions and the Talmud.
The Karaite Jews (who, among other things, reject the authority of the traditions and focus on the Torah) have more in common with Paul and Jesus than the average Jew who takes pride in his Judaism.

When a Judaic Jew criticizes Christianity for aborbing pagan elements he/she should also ponder on his own religious practise and how much of it is derived from man-based traditions even to the extent of rendering YHWH’s commanded void.

Jesus exhorted the people to look deeper and acquire a spiritual understanding of the Law.
The many oral traditions from the Pharisees had turned the Law into an unbearable yoke of slavery, and the Bible records quite a number of instances where Jesus rebuked the Pharisees because of their hypocrisy in these matters. By their traditions they even managed to render God’s commandments void.

Even to this day the Sabbath’s day, which originally was intended as a day for the benefit of man, is turned into a day to dread because of the many little ‘thou-shalt-not-exceed-this-manmade-standard’ traditions.

Examples of Jesus rebuking religious leaders for imposing manmade religious traditions abound in the accounts of the gospels.

Such as when Jesus was criticized that He did not wash his hands before dinner (Luke 11:37->) and He replied by emphasizing that the Pharisees should rather concentrate on cleansing the inside than the outside.
Where in the Torah can we find the commandment to wash the hands before dinner? It just a man-made tradition, and albeit washing the hands before dinner is good advice, but not a commandment.

Mark 7:8:

"For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do"

In Matthew 23 Jesus mentions a number of other examples where the oral traditions and interpretations as perpetuated by the Pharisees rob God’s commandments of their strength.

Jesus acted very much against cultural conformity to the set of rules dictated by the religious establishment (and the true Christian should take this to heart when it comes to traditions passing as commandments of God by Christian churches and their leadership) in favour of living in accordance with the Spirit of the Torah, keeping its rules pure and unadulterated by traditions of man.

Jesus did not act or preach AGAINST the Law, quite the contrary, by His zeal and fervour for keeping the Law pure in its intentions He very much defends and upholds the Law.
In Matthew 5:18 Jesus words are very clear:

“For truly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven”

Likewise, Paul, having a very strict orthodox religious background, writes on several occasions in his letters against the many oral man-based traditions which detract and even hinder the purpose behind the commandments of the Law.

Just read Colossians 2:8:

“See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition”,

and in verse 16:

“Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in question of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath.”

The latter verse does not mean that Paul did not care about whether one would keep the Sabbath or the festivals or not, but it was his comment pertaining to those who were upsetting gentile believers because they did not keep all the traditions surrounding these days.

Unfortunately examples like the ones I mentioned above are used to create a Christian religion completely severed from its roots, as if the ‘enlightened New Testament’ section of the Bible stands in contrast with the ‘ignorant Old Testament’ of the Bible, and the God of Moses is someone completely different from the God of Jesus.

The Censormachine Steams Ahead

More and more nails are being driven into the coffin of freedom, and of course the internet, being the one place relatively shielded from government control, cannot escape the development.

The EU has already plans to seize control of this medium and thus limit the expression of non-PC conformed authors on the net, and a recent law proposal in Italy once again underlines the trend of development.

It won’t be long before you and I will be put under strict censorship, so let’s use this time and window of opportunity to get the truth out on the net before it is confiscated.

The Brain Drain

A recent article reminded me once again of TV as the greatest brainwashing machine ever invented.

I remember watching a news item years ago when Janmaat still was alive and active as a politician, and every time his ideas were put into the spotlight the music changed to an ominous low drone and the image of the TV would be interspersed with footage of Jewish holocaust victims.

I thought that particular news item was an outrage because instead of intelligently discussing Janmaat’s ideas it was so obviously a piece of propaganda that no journalist with so much as an inkling of professional integrity would sign his/her name to such a piece of propaganda trash.

This is what TV is good at: propaganda and changing the way you think through manipulation of your emotions.

In the example mentioned above the name ‘Janmaat’ was linked to horror, murder and genocide, and how could Janmaat possible defend himself against such a character assassination? The whole PC-arranged propaganda machinery aided by the Dutch media was highly effective, converting the Dutch sheeple into collaborating pawns of the Politically Correct dogma.

Janmaat most certainly contributed his part to his own demonization by reacting with anger against one of the biggest demonization campaigns in Dutch history, so that first you get to see his face, then the ominous droning music, then Jewish holocaust victims, and then Janmaat’s angry reaction, closing the door on prying journalists, just as one might expect from someone belonging to the extreme right wing camp.
On top of that, the man simply did not have the charisma and the intellectual weight as Fortuyn, who experienced the same kind of media persecution from the PC-conformed crowd.

Then again, if you were singled out as the martyr of the collective, how would you react? Although it worked to his disadvantage, Janmaat’s anger was most certainly understandable in the face of all the hate campaigns against him, and I could not help but feeling sorry for him. If anything Janmaat brought to light the cruel hypocritical face of our national Dutch political leaders.

But, TV as a highly effective brainwashing tool is the focal point of this post, not Janmaat.

The brainwashing aspect of TV is why I think it is of such great importance to limit TV watching time to an absolute minimum and learn to reclaim territory of one’s personality lost to the TV-god.
It reduces people to passive intakers of all kinds of garbage, and because of the altered brainwave state the TV puts people into, it is highly effective in planting suggestions, not only by linking emotions to images and names, but also by repeating a certain thesis time and again.

If the TV constantly presents the EU in the light of an accepted reality and time and again emphasizes how the establishment of the EU is for the good of all, one should not be surprised if the opinion of the majority also shifts in favour of the EU.

Instead of watching TV it’s much better to browse the internet for some information, and get active, do something, move away from the brainwashing tube as the centre of your home.
I hardly ever watch TV anymore, and I certainly do not miss it.

As a matter of fact, every time I turn on the TV to check if there may be something interesting to watch, I encounter so much empty, mind numbing garbage that I cannot even tolerate watching it, so that with the exception of news reports, the TV remains switched off.

Instead of spending money on a widescreen flatscreen, do something worthwhile and enjoyable with it.

A Stealthed Mother

The weblog Kleinverzet mentioned how the recent signing of the EU-treaty by our Dutch political leaders was met with such a lack of attention in the internet community.

It's true that the signing of what amounts to a cloaked constitution, a straightjacket, of an über-government received very little attention.

I think that a combination of the ongoing stream of lies coming from the mouths of our political leaders, the phenomenon that the EU is a monster of stealth, the feeling of powerlessness (how can an individual fight a Godzilla with cloaking ability?) and a measure of fatigue (no matter how much we protest, the monster keeps growing) has a hand in the relative silence.

If you add to this a can packed with lacklustre PC-conformed journalists downplaying the issue, then a situation is created where the EU-monster is allowed to grow unfettered.

The EU is really a stealthed monster using the same familiar faces of our politicians to impose its rules on us.

It is really an idea flowing from a desire for unity which became a cause unto itself, and this cause –due to the power-concentration it has gathered- now not only seeks to maintain itself and confine itself to its restricted ideological borders, but it seeks to expand its powerbase and usurp any other opposing idea which might hinder its unlimited thirst for power and self gratification.

In doing so, this idea, with its priests and ministers, now has the ability to impose itself on every citizen of the states of Europe using the familiar faces of our politicians to keep us fooled into a delusion of being able to exercise a measure of democratic influence on the state of affairs, while in reality the citizens are submitted to an ideological entity (a one-party state) comparable to a religion exercising its power through the power structure of an EU-government behind the scenes, which translates its demands through our elected cooperative politicians.
Our politicians have become the middle-man, the PR-spokesmen for the EU-god.

If the political marionettes can trick us into giving them our vote of confidence, then all the EU controllers have to do is to pull their strings, and indirectly they have become our government, a government with a mask.

Where right now politicians may still claim to act with the best national interest at heart there will be an increasing trend of reversal of this directional flow (and of course politicians will continue to deny this) where the political leaders will feel the urge to convince their countries to act in compliance with the EU demands (after all, we voluntarily signed the treaties, didn’t we?).
We have seen this phenomenon on several occasions in the past, the most infamous example which comes to mind would be VVD politician Zalm soothing (lying to) the Dutch people about the effect of the Euro replacing the Dutch guilder.

The end-effect of making our national interest subservient to the über-government of the EU is that there is a handful of controllers behind a stealthed power construction determining what our lives will look like.

I never voted for them, I never gave them my mandate, I even never voted for the collaborating PC-conformed leaders a la BalkeBos we have now, but still I am required to dance to the tune of the invisible power mongers.
Long live the charade of imaginary political diversity!

The majority of the Dutch people never gave the cloaked EU their vote of confidence, yet here we are in 2007 living in a time when our leaders have surrendered our national sovereignty to the stealthed über-government of the EU, even though the last referendum clearly indicated that the majority of the Dutch people are AGAINST selling out the Dutch national sovereignty for an imaginary benefit as a member of the EU, the carrot at the end of the stick.
Doesn’t that equal treason on the part of our political leaders?

To pry Holland out of the hands of the Nazi invaders required bloodshed of not only Dutch resistance fighters, but many men fighting for the allied forces sacrificed their lives so that we might again live in liberty as an independent Dutch nation. Yet now we find ourselves in the position where democratically elected politicians voluntarily submit the Dutch nation to the authority of the über-government of the EU.

I did not vote for our current crop of national leaders, and I for one will not understand the people who did.
Because, if any nation has received many warnings about the effects of allowing the political establishment in Den Haag continue their age old spiel, it’s the Dutch people. And STILL the same old bunch of sociopaths was elected during the last election.
So, in all honesty I have to say that the Dutch in general got what they deserved.

First through constant Leftist indoctrination the Dutch national identity rooted in the Judeo-Christian heritage was corroded, then they added multiculturalism to their set of strategies, they hauled in the Trojan immigrant horse and thus expanded their powerbase (of course the grateful immigrants will vote for their heel-kissing benefactors...), and now the national identity is given a work-over with the sledgehammer by reducing The Netherlands to a slave state of the privileged few at the wheel of the EU Third Reich.

All that is left of the national Dutch identity is dressing up like addlebrained morons in orange to a soccer game singing the Dutch anthem and morally backing up the Dutch soccer team, or waving the flag on 'koninginnedag' when they see a glimpse of the monarch representing a veneer of monarchy. And now we have a veneer of democracy.
Talk about deflation! Dutch heritage reduced to dressing up for a ceremony...

Where this will lead to?
Either The Netherlands as an independent nation will become a footnote in history since it will be completely absorbed by either the EU Borgmother or the rapidly rising sea level, or we will see a violent backlash, depending on the circumstances. Whatever will happen, let’s remember that we can never say that it was not our fault.
The Dutch people have been more than willing dupes, (for a large part anyway).

The EU-Godzilla has one serious flaw: it is female, a smothering, dominating, bitchy mother.
I do not wish to insult any female readers of this blog, but the female character of Europe makes it incompetent and subservient to a display of raw masculine power. When the EU continues to think ONLY in terms of appeasement, diplomacy and in extreme cases economic sanctions as the ultimate weapon it will indeed sooner or later run against the steel plate of reality; I suggest you read the article of Soeren Kern at Brussels Journal.

Privacy, One of the Endangered Species

I have written regularly about the disappearance of privacy, and how this process is implemented through the backdoor.

The process is like a constantly dripping water tap making the sleepers wonder if they ought to disrupt their sleep by getting up to close the water tap, or simply ignore it and make sure they have a comfortable, uninterrupted sleep.

Well, the dripping steadily continues, as evidenced by three articles on the web.

One article writes about the Big Apple being turned into a surveillance city, another article writes about the Euro surveillance city named UK in 2017, and yet another article comments on the opening of a ‘Big Brother’ restaurant where the dinner activities are being tracked by cameras.

Make up your own mind about what our future society will look like.

As you are making up your mind, take also into consideration how democracy is increasingly being undermined by deceptive politicians pushing their agenda forward even if the people do not agree with it (the recent Euro-constitution is a nice example), and how certain groups in the population are denied their basic rights because they do not agree with the prevailing PC-dogma.

All in all, it doesn’t paint a very pretty picture of the future, does it? No place to hide.

Evangelical Zeal

All too often in Christianity the doctrine that Christians are no longer under Law is translated into the idea that somehow Christians are ‘above and beyond the Law’, and the Torah abiding Jews are looked down upon as slaves in bondage of the Law, while the Christians are free from the Law through Faith.

This ‘freedom from the Law’ lends itself all too well for all manner of misconceptions and corruptions. The two roads of ‘not being under the Law but instead living under Grace’ and ‘doing as thou wilt’ tend to become blurry and intermingle at times.

First of all the evangelical zeal Christians have to ‘bring the freedom of the Spirit through Faith’ to the Torah abiding Jews should be modified by a measure of self-reflection.
Christianity as we know it today was not founded by the apostle Paul, not by Jesus or any of the disciples.

It was a Roman emperor, Constantine, who codified Christianity as we know it today.
Through political compromise Constantine mixed Jewish/Christian concepts with pagan religious influences, and the ‘freedom from the Torah’ resulted in a completely new religion, even though Jesus NEVER claimed or even intended to bring a new religion.

When we read the accounts of the gospels, we read in his words that He came to fulfill a part of the Torah, and lift it up to a higher level, namely, the level of the Spirit. He came to internalize the external Torah so that it no longer would be an external element standing in contrast with our sin-based nature, but so that the contrast now would be between our new Spirit-born identity and the old nature of ‘sin-having-made-a-home-in-us’.

So, when Jews are confronted with a zealous Christian seeking to convert them to Christianity they see a person belonging to a religion which has mixed concepts of the Torah with pagan elements (just as the Israelites had done in the desert when they wanted Aaron to create a representation of YHWH and with that representation in the shape of a golden calf hold a feast to YHWH, just read Exodus 32), a religion which has created an image of itself as having rejected the Law, a religion promoting an image of the Messiah as one promoted the abrogation of the Torah, one who had disciples and apostles evangelizing the idea of treating the Torah as an outdated set of rules, a religion in the name of which evil-minded religious leaders have persecuted Jews, and this person is telling the Jews to believe in Jesus because it will bring them salvation and the freedom of the Spirit.
Of course this image of Jesus and the apostles and disciples is completely incorrect; but nevertheless, this image has acted as a stumbling block for many Jews.

If the freedom of the Spirit causes a person to cast the Torah aside and embrace elements from other religions –which has evoked YHWH’s judgment many times in Israel’s past-, then what do you think the reaction of the Torah loving Jew will be when he is confronted with evangelizing Christians embracing a religion which incorporates pagan elements?

If, in addition to all this, Christians also start to pound on the fact that the old covenant of the Law has passed away and it has been replaced with a new covenant based on ‘the Law of grace’, placing the two covenants on seemingly opposite sides, rejecting the Sabbath in favor of the sun god day of worship, rejecting the holy feasts YHWH instituted as a shadow of His plan in favor of meaningless feasts originating in pagan religions, the idiosyncrasy is made complete, and the stumbling block has turned into the great wall of China.

After all, didn’t the prophet Hosea write in chapter 2:13:
“And I will punish her for the feast days of the Ba’als”?

The fact that there ARE Jews who have experienced the power of Yahshua’s salvation in their lives is a testimony to the power of God’s Spirit, having reached their hearts IN SPITE of the collective ‘Christian’ effort throughout the centuries.

So, before starting out on a Christian crusade to convert the Jewish ‘unbelievers’ Christians would do well to stand before the mirror and ponder on the image of what is referred to as ‘Christianity’.

Although Constantine has acted in the capacity of the separator of Christianity from its roots and helped to create it into a separate religion, at the root of the perpetuation of ‘Constantianity’ lies the wrong interpretations given to many of Paul’s letters and Jesus’ words.

All too often Jesus is portrayed as the hippie rebelling against the Torah while Paul is set up as the one who abrogated Judaism in favor of the concept of Christianity we now know, even though he clearly states in his letter to the Romans, chapter 3:31:
“Do we then overthrow the Law by this Faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the Law.”

So, I want to urge my Jewish friends NOT to stare themselves blind on an image of Christians and Christian concepts.
Just as it is good for the Christian evangelists to indulge in self-reflection, the same is true for Jews taking pride in Judaism. Isn’t ‘Judaism’ after all a mixture of Biblical concepts with the Talmud and traditional customs? Shouldn't therefore zealous rabbis likewise do well to look in the mirror before they point the accusing finger and/or set out to convert a soul?

There is blindness on both sides.
Where Christians have been blinded to the truth and continuity of the written Torah, Jews were blinded to the truth of the Messiah who is the living Torah.

The written Torah was a foreshadowing of the living Torah, and the coming of the living Torah does not abrogate the written Torah, but rather it brings the Spirit of the Torah who implants a seed of a new identity within us, an identity free from sin and death.

If you desire to know the truth, just read the accounts of the gospels and the letters written by the disciples and the apostles, and ask YHWH to light the way.

The prophet Hosea wrote about the blindness in chapter 7:
“E’phraim mixes himself with the peoples; E’phraim is a cake not turned ”.

And again in chapter 8:12:
“Were I to write for him (E'phraim) my laws by ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.”

YHWH allowed the Jews to be blinded to the truth of their Messiah so that His message of salvation would be spread to the Gentiles and reach His children scattered all across the globe.
YHWH in His wisdom incorporated this blindness as a part of His plan to gather His children, and eventually unite E'phraim with his brother Judah.

In our time we can see how E’phraim’s blindness to the continuity of the Torah is in the process of being lifted to fulfill the process of uniting the both sticks mentioned in Ezekiel 37:15:
“Son of man, take a stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and the children of Israel associated with him’; then take another stick and write upon it, ‘For Joseph (the stick of E’phraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him’; and join them together into one stick, that they may become one in your hand”.

We are living in the times when the two sticks are in the process of being united again, and this union is impossible as long as E’phraim remains a half-baked cake just as Judah stares himself blind on the letter of the Law.
But, just as Ezekiel’s hand united both sticks, YHWH’s hand WILL unite both Judah and the mixed E'phraim.

For this process to be fulfilled, E’phraim first needs to take to heart the words spoken through His prophets, like Hosea in chapter 14:8:
“O E’phraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you”,

and Jeremiah in chapter 31:20:
“Is E’phraim my dear son? Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him, I do remember him still.
Therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says YHWH”

And Judah needs to open his heart to his son and his Lord, the One spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah in chapter 54:3:
“He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.”

The prophet Zechariah foretold a time when indeed Jacob will open his heart to the Son he rejected in chapter 12:10:
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication, so that, when they look on Him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over Him, as one weeps over a first-born.”

And when YHWH will lift the blindness from both E’phraim and Judah the words of YHWH’s promise spoken by Zechariah in chapter 10:6-> will come true:
(E'phraim is the younger son of Joseph, just read about Jacob's blessing in Genesis 48:8-22; later the name E'phraim is used to denote the northern kingdom of Israel and the dispersion of this kingdom among the nations of the world)

“I will strengthen the house of Judah,
and I will save the house of Joseph.
I will bring them back because I have compassion on them,
and they shall be as though I had not rejected them,
for I am the YHWH their God and I will answer them.
Then Ephraim shall become like a mighty warrior,
and their hearts shall be glad as with wine.
Their children shall see it and be glad;
their hearts shall rejoice in YHWH

"I will signal for them and gather them in,
for I have redeemed them,
and they shall be as many as they were before.
Though I scattered them among the nations,
yet in far countries they shall remember me,
and with their children they shall live and return.
I will bring them home from the land of Egypt,
and gather them from Assyria,
and I will bring them to the land of Gilead and to Lebanon,
till there is no room for them.
They shall pass through the sea of distress
and strike down the waves of the sea,
and all the depths of the Nile shall be dried up.
The pride of Assyria shall be laid low,
and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
I will make them strong in YHWH,
and they shall walk (or: glory) in His name,
says YHWH"

Celebration of Self-Gratification

The title of the post came to my mind when I read a news article at Breitbart which mentioned that a researcher was awarded a doctorate for writing a paper on future marriages between human beings and robots.

In my opinion such a ‘marriage’ is nothing short of an elaborate form of masturbation, an egocentric form of self-gratification.

Marriage has already suffered massive devaluation, and the marriage of man with machine is just another step on the downward spiraling staircase of the devaluation.

The article mentions that ‘the thesis examines human attitudes toward affection, love and sexuality and concluded that the findings are just as applicable to human interaction with robots of the future as they are to the relationships between humans of today.’

Marriage is not just about emotional and physical self-gratification; it’s a growth process, a process of self-examination where the psychological/spiritual dynamics of both husband and wife are played out.

How can one expect a spiritually based response from a lifeless, soul-less machine? Such a robot is nothing more than a fancy sex toy, a form of self-deceit.

Read the article at Breitbart.

Owning the Future

He who owns the youth, owns the future.

With that thought in mind all too often those seeking to gather power aim their indoctrination rifle at the youth and fire at will. To make the youth more receptive to manipulation, sociopaths need to create an imbalance in their mindset which will facilitate and aid mass indoctrination making use of psychological/spiritual lever mechanisms.

That is where the educational centers come into view: provide legislation to draft children from the earliest age possible into the service of the educational apparatus, eradicate home schooling and denominational diversity of schools so that the only form of schools left is compliant with state ideology and can be easily controlled, and brainwash the children into a uniform mode of thought originating from the social engineers in our society.

Here in Holland we still have schools based on a Christian foundation, but time and again the ugly viper of totalitarianism tries to launch an attack on the current situation by imposing a law of ‘neutral schools only’, which in effect means that only schools based on PC-approved ideology are granted the privilege to exist.

The importance of denominational diversity in schools is once again stressed by the recent betrayal of common sense by the Terminator, Schwarzenegger.

The fiction character ‘Terminator’ as played by Schwarzenegger in his movies should at least have given Americans some reason to frown during the last governor elections in California, but apparently the movie glamour was enough to erase any doubt lingering in the minds of the Californians voting for the Terminator.

And now the Terminator honors his title by acting in the capacity of Terminating agent of the traditional family structures by signing a law into existence which will ban the use of words like ‘Mom and Dad’, ‘Husband and Wife’.

By signing this law Schwarzenegger effectively demonstrates the absurdity of libertarianism, the notion of complete freedom. As I have said repeatedly on my blog, the notion of complete freedom is an absurdity, it DOES not and CAN not exist because one man’s idea of freedom is another’s limitation thereof.

To fully implement the libertarian ideal for groups embracing completely opposing ideological concepts would imply geographical as well as social separation of the groups involved, and implementing different sets of laws for each group.
In the end such a situation will inevitably result in the break-down of society as a unity, with chaos, murder and mayhem rampaging everywhere.

The various differentiating groups would crystallize again into new nations with their own sets of laws based on their ideology, with wars being fought with the other groups that have shaped into tribes or nations over ideological, conflicting differences.
The winner would then again set the standards for the new national ideological values that would be embraced and reflected in the laws. If once again the idea of libertarianism would be carried out to the ridiculous extremes implied in its doctrine the situation would start all over again from scratch.

So, we have to accept the idea which is already visible in our laws, which is that one man’s idea of freedom is another’s limitation thereof, and absolute freedom is an absurdity.

For example: the homosexual’s idea of freedom embraces the idea that a lesbian can work at any school regardless of the school’s foundation without meeting any criticism or implied criticism on her sexuality.

The Christian idea of freedom implies freedom from evil to do good, and to facilitate a sexual perversion and the spread thereof is in conflict with this freedom and actually promotes slavery to the corrupting force behind the corrupted sexuality.

So, when the two clash, what are you going to choose, the idea of freedom of the homosexual which actually entails snatching away the freedom of Christians, or the freedom of Christians which imposes limits on the homosexual freedom?

It is impossible to implement both ideas of freedom completely.

The argument that NEUTRAL schools should not be based on a Christian foundation because this might jeopardise the neutrality is based on a false argument.

First of all, the concept of ‘neutrality’ is yet another absurdity in itself, because at the root of this concept is yet another ideology, namely the government’s ideology with its own concept of freedom.
Therefore, true neutrality does not exist, and it is just a name-game to bestow a veneer of acceptability and superiority on a certain state approved ideology.

Secondly, if a government should decide that in order to live up to their concept of 'neutrality' BOTH ideas of freedom of the aforementioned groups of Christians and homosexual emancipators should be implemented, it will ALWAYS happen at the expense of the concept of freedom of either one of the parties involved.
In effect this means that the government's ideology of neutrality imposes itself on the other's at the expense of the differentiating ideas of freedom of both groups.
In other words, libertarianism has become a joke.

Thirdly, in real life we see the government fully embracing the idea of freedom as promoted by the gay emancipators so that the shifting interpretation of neutrality now comes at the full expense of the idea of freedom of the Christian group.
Where libertarianism was a laughable joke, it now has acquired a grim totalitarian face.

Therefore, public schools are rooted in an ideology like ANY other school, and the question which remains is: what concept do we wish to see at the root of public schools?

As we know, the Christian influence in public schools has almost completely disappeared to the extent that Christians are forced to found their own schools.

So, which ideological and moral foundation would we like to see the government choose?
To have our government choose a Christian foundation for public schools is no different than to have the government opt for a PC-ideology as the doctrinal foundation for public schools: both are ideologies, and to suggest that the Christian ideology is biased and the government ideology is not, is absurd and a lie.

By signing the law Californian public schools are now ideological extensions of the gay tyrannical agenda, which not only destroys a foundation based on God’s moral values (true moral values are not Christian or Jewish or whatever, they originate from God), but it also opens the window to religious persecution of groups who seek to obey their God-given conscience.

The current law is just one step away from outlawing Christian based schools since the Christian ideology can be seen as a threat to the ideology of the gay tyrants.

And as such by signing the law, a political ideological foundation has been established for implementing a future ban on non-approved Christian religious institutes, especially since the gay political pressure groups have already infiltrated Christian churches and managed to transform Christian ideology into the image of their own ideas, so that in the future the Christian groups who insist on calling homosexuality a corruption can not only be labeled as hate groups, but also, by applying this label, they are set up to actually be presented to the public as groups which essentially are un-Christian.
This IS already happening.

So in the near future we may say true Christianity go completely underground and reconnect to its roots (this too is already happening), while the false man-based state-approved doctrine of Christianity is upheld by the powers-that-be as the true form of Christianity.

It sounds almost like a fiction movie featuring Terminator Schwarzenegger, doesn’t it?
Except that it is really happening in the USA, the gay tyranny lashes out and demands the sacrifice of your children so that they can be shaped into the image of the soul merchants.

I cannot and will never believe that Schwarzenegger can be so completely brainwashed that he is unable to see the absurdity of banning the use of words like ‘Mom and Dad’ simply because intolerant fascists minded Nazis demand it. Which turns Schwarzenegger into a willful, deliberate accomplice, a collaborator as well as a Terminator, a traitor of the worst kind.

In addition to this nightmare I read an article about the 'sexualization' of Dutch youth.
The stupendous ignorance surrounding this issue boggles my mind.

For years now in public schools the mechanics of sexuality are taught without any moral frame of reference other than in case of sex the youths should use a condom or else they may get a disease that will kill them.
The message that sex is ‘OK’ and that ‘anything goes as long as the boys wear a condom’ is promoted in addition to the constant sexual bombardment the youths have to endure from not only the PR-prostitutes seeking to accumulate their wealth by promoting the usual musical pimps who sold out for money and fame, but also from the media.

Sex is sold without a moral framework of reference, and now the fruits are becoming increasingly visible in the phenomenon of the ‘sexualization’ of youths.
Instead of the importance of friendship and sincere, honorable love as the basis for a relation between a man and a woman, youths are force-fed the idea of sexual attraction and mutual self gratification as the foundation for a relationship.

Whatever happened to the idea of courtship and self-restraint, the idea of abstention from sex until marriage?
The idea behind abstention from sex until marriage is not just based on a religious notion of a select few, it is also for the sake of developing friendship and mutual respect towards each other which bring out noble character traits.

The news clip from Schwarzenegger signing the aforementioned law into existence and the news clip of the equalization of Dutch youths have in common that it involves the indoctrination and corruption of the children who will have to pay the price in the future of the lies they have been force-fed.
Once you can corrupt a young person through sexuality and indoctrination you have unbalanced them to such a degree that they become malleable clay in the hands of the engineering forces.

And whereas today’s America may have surpassed Europe when it comes to corruptive moral decadence, America is just one step ahead of us. Whatever is happening across the Pacific is bound to produce a shockwave that will reach our shores, and as such we are warned in advance of what is awaiting us.

I see a future coming where true believers will again be persecuted and treated like outcasts, the unwanted elements of society because they refuse to conform. And in case that you think ‘it can’t happen here’ the future may hold a very nasty surprise.
All the signs are pointing in that direction.

My refuge

Instead of my usual verbal output I decided to let the Bible speak.

Psalm 91

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of YHWH, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.

Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made YHWH, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him My salvation.

The Peace Doctrine

Although there probably are many Muslims professing their faith in the same way as many Christians do, which is through conformity to a religious dogma, I DO think that the big difference is that the ideological make-up of Islam renders it into an explosive mixture, a collective psychosis which is the equivalent of a vessel filled with the nitro-glycerin of its doctrine, and as is the case with nitro-glycerin, the slightest movement can disturb the mixture to such a degree that it results in an explosion of violence.

This news item published by WND underlines this once again: the moment any person violates one of the Islamic rules (whether true or rumored), the threshold of tolerance drops radically and explodes into an orgy of violence in the name of Allah.

The moment the cry ‘Allahu akbar’ travels through the air it triggers a religious psychosis where the Muslim individual believes he/she is rendering a great service to the deity allah by committing a crime of violence, and this dangerous religious delusion already has caused rivers of blood to flow on this planet.

Through the mechanism of religious brainwashing and conditioning the Muslim mob becomes an effective tool in the hands of pious manipulators dressing up as holy men carrying a hidden agenda in mind.
I know that this phenomenon is not just restricted to Islam, but whereas it would be easy to condemn explosions of violence towards the unbelievers in Christianity based on the tenets of the Bible, such violence is actually part of the Islamic ideology and its holy book, the Koran.

In spite of Muslims claiming that Islam has a face of tolerance and peacefulness, news reports incessantly bear witness to the opposite.

Just as the Nazis appointed the Jew as the scapegoat for all the pent up frustration and anger of the German people, Islam has allotted this role to ‘the unbeliever’, whereby all too often Jews and Christians are singled out as groups of special heretical status, worthy of receiving the just reward for their heresy in the form of divine retribution as translated into explosions of sanctified and legitimized Muslim violence committed in the name of Allah against the ‘non-believers’.

For Islam to become a religion of peace certain basic concepts must be eradicated and certain verses in the Koran as well as in the Hadeeth must be ignored. Some Muslims actually bestow their own interpretation on the Koran because their conscience makes them incompatible with the idea of committing violence in the name of Islam.
They are not looked upon as true Muslims in the eyes of the 'fundamentalist' Muslim (i.e. the Muslim who simply conforms to the precepts of the Koran and the Hadeeth without trying to modify anything), who cannot ever accept that kind of heresy.

In the eyes of the ‘fundamentalist’, Islam is a religion of peace, but the only way this peace will be able to come to fruition is through submission to Islam as visible in the Islamic concept of the ‘House of War’ and the ‘House of Peace’.

Needless to say that this concept characterized by extreme religious intolerance cannot be united with the Western concept of tolerance and respect for the rights of the individual, but in spite of this we see many Western leaders betraying the Western ideals through their enabling of Islam as a political power structure.

Enters Bush, who either must be extremely ignorant, or politically correct (i.e. cowardly), or simply willfully wicked, or a mixture of the aforementioned components in his latest statement which I quote:

“Bush: "Well, first of all, I believe in an Almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God. That's what I believe. I believe that Islam is a great religion that preaches peace.

And I believe people who murder the innocent to achieve political objectives aren't religious people, whether they be a Christian who does that – we had a person blow up a federal building in Oklahoma City who professed to be a Christian, but that's not a Christian act to kill innocent people.

And I just simply don't subscribe to the idea that murdering innocent men, women and children – particularly Muslim men, women and children in the Middle East – is an act of somebody who is a religious person.”

Will somebody send Bush a copy of the Koran and a link to MemriTV?
How can he ignore the persecution of ex-Muslims by Muslims, how can he ignore the way non-Muslims are treated in countries like Saudi-Arabia?
How can he turn a blind eye to what is preached in many mosques?

Tell a lie a thousand times and people will accept it as truth, where have I heard that before?

I have defended Bush in the past because of the intolerable stench of the American Leftist insanity and hypocritical pretense on their side, but when I hear some of Bush’s statements, and I observe his political plans and strategies and where they lead to, I cannot help but feeling that the choice between the Leftists and Bush is a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea: either way people are set up to move in a predetermined direction and the democratic choice is nothing but an empty charade to entertain the people in a deluded notion of choice.

As is the case here in Holland with the political establishment.
*SIGH*
