The Irony, Part MMMMMDCCLXXXIII

If you opened today's Los Angeles Times Op-Ed section you'd've seen two opposing titles along the crease at the top. Just to the right was "Assessing Prop. 13," a piece advocating gutting California's Proposition 13 which passed in 1978 to prevent soaking homeowners with excessive taxation.

To the left was a pull-quote from a letter to the editor. It said, "Rome is... responsible, and Rome should pay." This was from a group of letters commenting on how the Catholic Church is finding funds to pay off its sexual abuse victims.

The irony comes in the fact that Rome is truly not just the Catholic Church, but the overarching governing body of the World System set in motion from the time Cain committed the first murder. Cain was then ordained the first governor, and by erecting a city from which to rule he instituted grand religious, political, and economic organizations to administer his prosecutorial authority over sinners.

Unfortunately shortly thereafter some men began calling on the Lord, seeking His truth and grace in all things. To keep from becoming irrelevant, Cain and his minions began provoking men to do evil. A man living by the Lord's word and guided by His wisdom cannot be taken in by his elaborate ruses.

But for those who do not seek the Lord, the racket that is the Agency of Cain is there to crack heads and pretend to offer protection from head-cracking.

How profound that this letter writer should utter the words "Rome is responsible." That it should pay is amplified by the op-ed about how homeowners need to get with it and start paying more.

Paying more for what?

Essentially it shakes down this way.

Cain (as spoken through those unabashed about making The Institution their lord): "We need more taxes. This will provide ample funding all the things government has to fund."

Observer: "What are those things?"

Cain: "You know, education, police, fire, health services, governance, public services, you know, good things like that."

Observer: "But doesn't much of that just enable the rotten behavior of the populace."

Cain: "Of course, but if we're responsible, we should pay. And if people get sucked into our provocations then they're the ones willingly paying for us to pay."

Observer: "True enough. But this sure seems horrible. It just feels like a body of death."

Cain: "So? It's my job. Don't like it, get out."

Get out? What does that mean? Get in a rocket ship and blast off outta here? Move to the woods and live in a tent?

Nah. How about this.

Just trust in Christ and live in the Kingdom.

The Official Roman Catholic Position is the True One

Recently the pope made more official some official declarations that the Roman Catholic Church has been officially making for centuries. When they do this it gets some media attention, mostly because so many chafe at the fact that the Roman Catholic Church is claiming to be the one true church. A mainstream news take on it all is here at the Los Angeles Times . What irritates people is that the church gets all puffy about how you can't earn God's favor or go to heaven or be a good person without the Roman Catholic Church. To keep from being too intolerant the church will say things like other institutions are means to grace or they are respected communities of belief and all the rest of it. But it still holds: The Roman Catholic Church is the true church . Want to know something? They're right . Yes. It's true. They are correct: The Roman Catholic Church is the one single true ecclesiastical body. They can make such a firmly veritable proclamation about this s...

The Propaganda Machine for the Entrenched Child Sacrifice Program is Humming Along Quite Nicely

In his 1917 book Gullible's Travels , Ring Lardner wrote, "You know they's lots o' words that's called fightin' words. Some o' them starts a brawl, no matter who they're spoken to." It is the origin of the phrase, " Them's fightin' words." Perfect context for a Truth Rule that is so widely dismissed, particularly by those who screech like banshees "Freedom of speech is the very very very most important thing ever!!!" The Truth Rule: Nobody says anything truly worthy unless they are permanently indentured to the Spirit of the Lord and can share actual freedom things. Yes, it is painfully ironic, but still categorically true nonetheless. Otherwise everything said that gets out there, especially those things going wide and deep into the cybersphere, are merely the most lethally dangerous mines in the planet-sized trolling field. Some pretty good things are actually shared in Project 2025, this policy initiative published by...

It Has Been About 6,000 Years You Know, At Least

Image
I have given up seeing if people can really truly be wise, at least without some substantive help from God. That effort itself is a fool's errand.  The more I hear and listen and read and hear from people who sound really smart and think they are saying really smart things -- but then are actually really stupid, the more amazed I am that we've had some 6,000 years at least to be at least a little bit not-stupid. So much time to get it right, how in 6,000 years can so many still be so stupid. ::Sigh:: But then, it is biblical.  Scripture very clearly says everyone is as stupid as a rock. I know I have been, and when I go into that sickening denial mode, it is worse. In fact, it is sin, flat-out. About 10, 15 years ago I was driving in the morning to my work, which was then about 30 minutes away. I did what I sometimes did, and what I still do every once in a while but not too often these days because what is spewed there is almost always so agonizingly stupid -- I tuned into NP...
