Only From the Kingdom Can One Fully Love Thy Neighbor

I am fascinated by what Jesus told His disciples in the tenth chapter of Matthew. He sent them out to share Him with others, and the thing that strikes my soul right now is where He told them to stay. He told them to find those who knew Him -- those weren't His exact words, but Jesus knew there were those who lived the Kingdom and would be the most hospitable to them -- so much so that He insisted for the entire time they ministered in that town they stay only with that one home He knew was the most Kingdom. 

He even said if there was no one in the town who was Kingdom, then leave and shake the dust off your sandals as a sign against that town. Ouch.

Thing is, there are those who Love Thy Neighbor with His love, and it is very good to let them do that very thing. That's the essence of sowing the Kingdom in Christ's name, love, and power. Another critical component of that, however, is truth.

This is why it was so refreshing to come across this piece about how extraordinarily unloving it was for anyone to continue to say that anyone else needed to do a single Covid lockdown thing past April 2020. So much so that it was not the gospel, it was not Kingdom, it was much like that reprobate town -- nothing other than a world of World devotees only partaking in the most luscious virtue-signaling but actually participating in Cain's Legacy of human sacrifice activity.

Why was such a plain indictment of the faux Christianity practiced over the past three years such a refreshing thing? To me is was simply about the fact that I stood on the truth about the Covid situation ever since it started, and was shredded for it -- even losing jobs, losing church friends, and being refused medical care and other services because of my insistence that the truth is x, y, and z. I'd seen a lot of people stand on that truth as well, but in this article the author goes to the mat to challenge one of the worst claims made by the Covidian numbskulls: "You aren't loving if you don't do ___ lockdown thing."

And yes, so very many of those saying these things were the bestest-looking Christiany people out there. So good and wholesome-looking, yet spewing from their psyches the ugliest things.

I don't for two seconds wish to unduly judge them or to make claims about their standing with righteousness or even more significantly with God Himself. But this article confirms precisely what I've felt for what is going on four years now.

That telling the truth is a very costly thing and still the most loving thing one can do.

It is wholly grievous what has happened -- and yes, continues to happen in the hearts and minds of those who think they are doing the very Christian thing when they are not. But I understand. Forgive me, I really shouldn't be calling anyone numbskulls -- they're merely fulfilling their sworn duties and if they do them well they should be commended. The premise of this webzine and blog ministry is that so many very Christian looking people are merely workhorses for the Romanist Ecclesiocracy with its hundreds of contracted subdivisions to carry on the work of Cain's Legacy in the Ministry of Condemnation.

It isn't the Kingdom.

Only there can real, actual, and yes -- self-sacrificial Loving Thy Neighbor happen.

The Rationale of an Excommunication

My recent home page piece gets a bit into my own professional life, and the experiences I have had with the now entrenched woke  hegemony. I have been an experienced and reasonably decorated school teacher for now about 35 years. Most of that time was spent teaching high school Civics and Economics in the public school system, and certainly being a devout follower of Christ I have wondered if readers of my webzine and blog might wonder, "How could you be situated in such a System institution like that?" I have indeed thought about assembling something of a comprehensive polemic to answer that question, and I'm afraid I cannot do that now. It is simply because there is so much to it, including my consideration that people like Joseph and Daniel were in the service of Caesar in some high office yet still served Christ and loved others where they were. I have also had the opportunity to share Christ's love with thousands of students, some hundred of whom actively and vo

The Wonderful Matter of Authentic Understanding

In my last home page piece I wrote a bit about this thing people believe is Artificial Intelligence .  May I firmly posit something about that thing more widely known as AI ? Something that is indeed an inviolate Truth Rule, and for which there are a number of ways to easily prove it, one of which I'll share with you right now? That Truth Rule: There is no such thing as AI. Yes, it is true. Once again for emphasis, artificial intelligence does not exist in any form, and never will. In fact, the more people even use the term "AI" or any of the language associated with it, at any time, in any context, they are carrying on a horrifically evil deceit. Yes many will screech "Oh but what about this?!" or "What about that there?!! It's amazing!"  Things that really spectacularly look like a machine is doing that same things a human does, even better because it is some transcendently sentient super-brain that can't help but make our wretched existence

Suffering the Stupid Person

We enjoyed one of the best Christmas movies ever the other night, Die Hard  with Bruce Willis, from 1988. I know, I know, everyone's arguing about whether it is really a Christmas movie or not, but it is. It happens at Christmas time, there are Christmas songs in it, and the most important reason is that John McClane is, in a very profound sense, a messiah character almost giving his life to rescue people. I know, I know, lots of movies feature their action heroes kick-boxing and blowing away bad guys to save others, but this is just different. For one thing he does walk across broken glass causing his feet to bleed badly. In everything he does he is a sort of living sacrifice and employs great courage and tenacity to give of himself to get the job done. Plus he uses tremendous insight, knowledge, and wisdom to make the things happen he must make happen to do that job. Just amazingness from an action hero throughout. But this is not the only reason the movie so thoroughly enjoyable
