Are You Close to the Line?

Our lives are a series of seemingly trivial choices that add up. Why do I harp on some trivial things? Even I think they are trivial. But these trivial decisions add up. Having a Big Mac is not a big deal, but after a lifetime of Big Macs...see where that gets you. In my case it had me lying on a table with tubes stuck in my belly as they removed cancer. 

This is a quote from a novel I am reading, Jim Butcher's Cold Days. The hero had aligned himself with evil, for all the best of reasons, at least it seemed so at the time. 

Murphy said quietly. “No one just starts giggling and wearing black and signs up to become a villainous monster. How the hell do you think it happens?” She shook her head, her eyes pained. “It happens to people. Just people. They make questionable choices, for what might be very good reasons. They make choice after choice, and none of them is slaughtering roomfuls of saints, or murdering hundreds of baby seals, or rubber-room irrational. But it adds up. And then one day they look around and realize that they’re so far over the line that they can’t remember where it was.”

How far over the line am I? I see areas where I might be. After the excesses of the holiday season, New Year's is the traditional time to think about such things. I suggest you do so. Not all of our cultural traditions are bad. While I do not expect any of my readers are "over the line," I think each of us, through drifting along in life without much thought, are a lot closer to the line than we realize. Most of the big sins in our lives often begin with neglect. 

Here are some Bible verses that might be helpful. 

Galatians 6:7 ESV 

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

Matthew 24:42 ESV 

Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

The example of Sodom is interesting. Ezekiel 16 tells us what their sin was. 

⁴⁹ Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

Coming to a Town Near You? That is not the sin I was expecting. 

Sodom had neglected the poor. They did not know that God was coming. What have we neglected--both individually and nationally? Can we be so sure that God is not coming for the US in the same way He came for Sodom?

Not much you can do about the nation. But think about what you have neglected personally. Try not to neglect that next year, the little decisions add up. 

God On Our Side

Is God on the side of the US? This song is about overcoming the propaganda we all have been taught. 

Everything Is Not What It Seems

I have been urging my readers to leave Babylon the Great since the beginning of this blog. I have been pointing out that our culture, our economics, our politics, our religion, and really our whole society, is a scam. You are being played. It is like the lyrics to the theme song of my 9 year old daughter's favorite sitcom, "Everything is not what it seems." 

I do run a risk by saying things like that. The risk is that you will think that I think I am better than you. Remove this thought from your mind. I too am being played. I too am deceived by the system. 

We all, to borrow a phrase from the Apostle Paul about the next life, see through a glass dimly. We see the problem, the deceptions and half-truths. Maybe I see things more clearly, but maybe not. Each of us is blinded in our own ways. As that great philosopher Madonna once sang, “Your eyes only see what you want them to see.” I am just as susceptible to this as anyone. 

Ultimately all the corruption we see in “Babylon” has an origin. 

Here is how the apostle Paul said it in 2 Corinthian 11:14 referencing false religious leaders:

They’re a sorry bunch—pseudo-apostles, lying preachers, crooked workers—posing as Christ’s agents but sham to the core. And no wonder! Satan does it all the time, dressing up as a beautiful angel of light. So it shouldn’t surprise us when his servants masquerade as servants of God. But they’re not getting by with anything. They’ll pay for it in the end.

But I can say that if you do not think about these things you too will pay for it in the end. You will end up a part of the system that will collapse. 

Revelation 18 tell us: 

Get out, my people, as fast as you can,
    so you don’t get mixed up in her sins,
    so you don’t get caught in her doom.
Her sins stink to high Heaven;

God has remembered every evil she’s done. 

Metaphorically speaking, Is this the world you see? Yes, think about these things, and get out, metaphorically, as fast as you can before it is too late. 

If you don't see things quite the way I do, are you sure you are seeing correctly? I have already admitted I too am subject to bad vision. And there is no Lasik surgery for this malady! The only real solution for this kind of bad vision is the spirit of God. 

Look at this video. Your eyes can be deceived. Are you deceived right now? Or are you a part of the lifelong process of leaving Babylon? 

Are you SERIOUS about the TORAH?

Rabbi Dennis Ben Positivsky in his full prophetic regaliaIf someone is really SERIOUS about God they will be SERIOUS about the Sabbath and SERIOUS about the laws of the TORAH. Even among those that think they observe the Sabbath—they really do not do so. It is time that we get SERIOUS about God and follow ALL his LAWS!

For example we really need to stay at home on the Sabbath day—NO MATTER WHAT.

 Exodus 16:29 ...  abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

 We will either OBEY God or not. We need to stop leaving our homes for the most TRIVIAL of reasons.

 And we need to OBEY the TORAH in all other areas as well. Even if it is inconvenient for us.

Deuteronomy 23:12 Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. 13 As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement. 14 For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.

So you see that God COMMANDS that we relieve ourselves outside of where we live, not inside. But yet God also COMMANDS that we do not leave our house on the Sabbath. We need to OBEY God rather than man by postponing our bowel movements until sunset. If we are SERIOUS about God we can do no other!

Will You Take the Torah Toilet Challenge? If God be God then SERVE him!

To be sure that you are FOLLOWING all of God's LAWS be sure to write for the Booklet:

The Plain Truth about Indoor Toilets.

If we continue in our GODLESS ways with indoor toilets and profaning the Sabbath by defecation—God will surely TURN AWAY from us!
