If God is a trinity...

The Trinitarian Belief                                                  

1. Teaches that:

• there is one God who is one Being, one substance, composed of 3 self-conscious hypostases: God, the Father, God, the Son,  and God, the Holy Spirit.

• “But the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost is all one: the glory equal, the majesty co-eternal” ...

• “So the Father is God: the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God;”

• “And yet there are not three Gods; but one God ...”

• “And in this Trinity none is before or after another: none is greater or less than another.”

• “But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together, and co-equal. (The Athanasian Creed)

2. Denies the literal Sonship of Christ.

3. Teaches that Jesus has no beginning, He is co-eternal and the same age as God, the Father.

4. Holds that there is no relationship between the persons or hypostases of God, they are just playing roles in the plan of salvation.

5. Teaches that the death of Christ on the cross wasn’t complete because Jesus is God Himself and God cannot die; also that Christ raised Himself from the dead because He wasn’t dead completely.

6. States that the Holy Ghost (or the Holy Spirit) is a third person of God, coequal, co-eternal and almighty, possessing the same authority as God, the Father or God, the Son.

7. Holds that it is the Holy Spirit, a different, third person of God other than Jesus, that is our Comforter.
 
The Godhead Belief

1. Teaches that:

• there is one Godhead composed of 3 self-conscious persons: God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit.

• these three separate beings work together in perfect unity, and are “one” (because they are one in purpose and character): their glory equal, the majesty co-eternal.

• the Father is God: the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God.

• and yet there are not three Gods; but one God (or divinity, called the Godhead).

• in this Godhead none is before or after another: none is greater or less than another.

• but the whole three Persons are co-eternal together, and co-equal.

2. Denies the literal Sonship of Christ.

3. Teaches that Jesus has no beginning, He is co-eternal and the same age as God, the Father.

4. Holds that there is no relationship between the three persons of the Godhead, they are just playing roles in the plan of salvation.

5. Teaches that the death of Christ on the cross wasn’t complete because Jesus is God in highest sense and God cannot die; also that Christ raised Himself from the dead because He wasn’t dead completely.

6. States that the Holy Ghost (or the Holy Spirit) is a third person of the Godhead, coequal, co-eternal and almighty, possessing the same authority as God, the Father or God, the Son.

7. Holds that it is the Holy Spirit, a different, third person of the Godhead other than Jesus, that is our Comforter.

We need to realize that if God is a trinity, then...

1. Jesus is not the literal son of God, the Father.

2. The Holy Spirit is not God’s (the Father’s) spirit with which He is everywhere present but a third, separate person of the Godhead.

3. Jesus should have called the Holy Spirit His Father because the Bible clearly teaches that it was the Holy Spirit that overshadowed Mary. (Luke 1:35)

4. Jesus never really died because God cannot die (He is immortal—1. Tim. 6:16).

a) And because of it, He has never really paid the price for us and the atonement was not complete.
b) He had a part of Himself that was conscience after His death, founding the doctrine of the immortality of the soul.

5. Jesus was never tempted here on earth because the Bible says “God cannot be tempted with evil” (James 1:13).

6. We have a Comforter (the Holy Spirit who is a separate Being, other than Christ) who was never a human being, was never tempted and tried as we are and never suffered death for us.

7. At the new birth, we will possess the Holy Spirit’s life (who was never a human Being and never conquered sin). This life is not a victorious life and there is no union of humanity and divinity in it.

8. We could never really study our Bibles without theological education because it is hard to know when God speaks in a literal and when in a metaphorical sense. (He calls Jesus His Son but in reality He is not.)

9. We have 2 Mediators and 2 Intercessors: Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

10. Jesus is removed from being our Comforter, and the 3rd Person of the Godhead takes His place thus causing us to look apart from Jesus in another direction. (Read what Ellen White said in Review and Herald, August 26,1890, par. 10)

It raises some questions:

1. Why was Lucifer envious just of Jesus’ position? Why wasn’t he jealous of the Holy Spirit (or the Father)?

2. Why is the Holy Spirit missing almost every time when Bible writers or Ellen White write about the Father and the Son?

3. Why was the counsel of peace made between just two of the three persons of the Godhead? (Zechariah 6:13)

4. Why is Jesus the one who is called the “last Adam” (1. Corinthians 15:45) and not the Holy Spirit when it is the Holy Spirit who is the active agent at the new birth?

5.Why will Jesus be subject to the Father “at the end” but not subject to the Holy Spirit? (1 Corinthians 15:28) And if the Father will be the head of everything, will He be over the Holy Spirit, the 3rd person of the Godhead, too?

6. Why did the Jews recognize only the Father as God? (John 8:54)

7. Why does Ellen White talk about Jesus Christ so many times as the literal Son of God?

8. Why did Christ emphasize the union of the believers only with the Father and Himself? Why did He leave the Holy Spirit (the 3rd person of the Godhead) out? (John 14: 20, 23, 17:23)

9. Why does Ellen White call Jesus her Comforter? (8MR 49, 19MR 296, 297)

10. How can the Holy Spirit (as a separate person from Jesus) give us Christ’s righteousness? Why does Paul teach that we need to die in order for Christ (and not the Holy Spirit) to live in us? (Galatians 2:20, Colossians 1:27, 1. Corinthians 6:15)

11. Why does the Bible teach us that Christ lives in us and at the same time that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost? (1. Corinthians 6:19)

12. Why don’t we need to know all of the 3 persons of the Godhead in order to receive eternal life? Why does Jesus tell us we need to know only the Father and the Son? (John 17:3)

7 Hidden Causes of Stress


We are all familiar with the usual sources of stress — work, money, love and health. Our lives can greatly improve once we address not only those but the hidden causes of stress.
Here are seven frequently neglected stressors:

  1. Too much bad, too little good.
    Depending on your answers to the following questions, you might need a lifestyle adjustment:
    • Have I been consuming too much caffeine, alcohol, sugar or junk food?
    • Have I been sleeping at least 7 to 8 hours daily?
    • Have I been engaging in moderate exercise for at least 150 minutes a week?
    • Have I been eating enough greens and healthy food daily and staying hydrated daily?
  2. Being constantly connected.
    Even machines have to be powered down or reboot every so often. Make an effort to unplug and disconnect as frequently as you can. Remember, there is no text, email, call or notification more urgent than restoring your peace of mind.
  3. Not dealing with food allergies and intolerances.
    Food allergies can disrupt our days with itchy rashes, stomach upsets, and vomiting. Food intolerances can make a peaceful day unpleasant with headaches, bloating, irritable bowels and more. They are certainly a source of physical stress we should be actively managing.
  4. Letting FOMO run your life.
    Life these days is often laden with a strong fear of missing out (FOMO). We get bombarded by images of how our lives could be different or better via the social media feeds of our friends and network. Overcome this by reminding yourself that social media feeds are nothing but distorted and heavily edited reality.
  5. Being your own harshest critic and having unrealistic expectations.
    In this highly competitive society we live in, it’s unsurprising that often we are our own worst enemy and feel what we do isn’t good enough. It’s also human nature to keep shifting or creating new goals once we have achieved our initial goals. Try practicing gratitude daily so you can appreciate what is, not what should be.
  6. Not staying clear of toxic friends.
    We can practice positive thinking and mindfulness all we want, but if we remain immersed in a circle of toxic friends, every day becomes a challenge to ward off stresses from the people around us. As taught in Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, draw a circle on a piece of paper. In the circle, write in names of people who are loving, supportive and caring toward you. Outside of the circle, write the names of people who suck your time, energy and money or leave you feeling small or down. Try to increase your time with the people in the circle and gradually increase your distance with the people outside of the circle.
  7. Having too much clutter at home and at work.
    It’s amazing how just coming home or going to work to a clean desk free of clutter can make us feel almost instantly lighter. If we put in some effort to keep our homes clutter-free, we can have a peaceful haven to return to each day. Similarly, we can create an oasis of calm at work simply by maintaining a clean desk. De-stressing does not always need to involve fine dining or an expensive getaway.

59 percent of all U.S. adults are on at least one prescription drug

Pill Bottle - Public Domain
 By Michael Snyder, on November 3rd, 2015

If you have a health problem, even if it is just an imaginary one, some giant pharmaceutical company out there is probably making a pill for it.  According to shocking new research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 59 percent of all U.S. adults are on at least one prescription drug, and 15 percent of all U.S. adults are on at least five prescription drugs.  These numbers have never been higher, and they tell us that the United States is the most drugged nation on the entire planet.  And it turns out that pushing these drugs on the American people is extremely profitable.  For instance, Americans spent 100 billion dollars on cancer drugs alone last year.  That isn’t “million” with an “m” – that is “billion” with a “b”.  The profits that some of these pharmaceutical companies are making are absolutely obscene, and it is our pain and suffering that is making them rich.
So why is prescription drug use rising so rapidly?  As noted above, 15 percent of us are now taking 5 or more of these drugs on a regular basis, but back in 1999 that number was sitting at just 8.2 percent.
This newly released report blames much of the problem on obesity
The population is getting older, but that doesn’t explain it, Kantor said. The pattern looks more related to obesity, which is steadily rising, More than two-thirds of the adult U.S. population is overweight or obese, and many suffer the heart disease, diabetes and other metabolic disorders that go along with being too heavy.
And without a doubt, we have an epidemic of obesity in the United States.  The following facts on American obesity come from from my recent article entitled “America #1? 36 Facts That Prove That The United States Is An ‘Exceptional’ Nation“…
#1 According to a brand new report that was just released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States has the fattest population in the entire industrialized world by a wide margin.
#2 That same report from the OECD also found that we are number one in child obesity.  In fact, at 38 percent our rate of childhood obesity is even higher than our overall rate of obesity.
#3 According to USA Today, the obesity rate in the United States has more than doubled over the past 25 years.
But the truth is that obesity is only part of the story.  Drug use of all types is soaring, and commercials for the latest and greatest drugs seem to run around the clock on virtually every television network.  Here are some more specific numbers from this newly released report
In the study, blood pressure drugs were among the most prescribed, increasing from 20% of adults in 1999-2000 to 27% in 2011-2012.
Statins increased from 6.9% to 17%; antidepressants increased from 6.8% 13%; antidiabetic drugs increased from 4.6% to 8.2%;and tranquilizers and sedatives increased from 4.2% to 6.1%.
The increase in the use of antidepressants really disturbs me.  They are often prescribed needlessly, and they can have some extremely negative side effects.
In particular, I think that it is important to mention that nearly every single mass shooter in the United States in recent years has been on antidepressants.  The mainstream media never talks about this connection because the pharmaceutical companies purchase gobs of advertising time from them.  But the reality of the matter is that these drugs can cause people to behave in extremely irrational ways.  Even the Mayo Clinic admits this
Most antidepressants are generally safe, but the Food and Drug Administration requires that all antidepressants carry black box warnings, the strictest warnings for prescriptions. In some cases, children, teenagers and young adults under 25 may have an increase in suicidal thoughts or behavior when taking antidepressants, especially in the first few weeks after starting or when the dose is changed.
Of course that is a very watered down version of the truth, and if you start seriously digging into this you will soon discover a whole host of absolutely horrifying stories.
But the pharmaceutical companies are never going to stop what they are doing, because it is making them exceedingly wealthy.  As I mentioned above, Americans spent 100 billion dollars on cancer drugs last year, and the big drug firms love milking cancer patients for all that they are worth.  According to NBC News, two of the latest cancer drugs that have been developed “are priced at $12,500 a month“.
How do executives at those companies sleep at night?
They are getting rich from price gouging cancer patients.
How disgraceful is that?
Here are some more statistics about the drugging of America that come from one of my previous articles
According to the CDC, approximately 9 out of every 10 Americans that are at least 60 years old say that they have taken at least one prescription drug within the last month.
There is an unintentional drug overdose death in the United States every 19 minutes.
In the United States today, prescription painkillers kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined.
According to the CDC, approximately three quarters of a million people a year are rushed to emergency rooms in the United States because of adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs.
The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.
Children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants as children in Europe are.
A shocking Government Accountability Office report discovered that approximately one-third of all foster children in the United States are on at least one psychiatric drug.
A survey conducted for the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that more than 15 percent of all U.S. high school seniors abuse prescription drugs.
Many of these antidepressants contain warnings that “suicidal thoughts” are one of the side effects that should be expected.  The suicide rate for Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 rose by close to 30 percent between 1999 and 2010.  The number of Americans that are killed by suicide now exceeds the number of Americans that die as a result of car accidents every year.

Brotherly Love

Let brotherly love continue.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

What does the Vatican do when it wants to hide the truth?

Posted on November 4, 2015 |
Keeping a Lid on the Truth
What does the Vatican do when it wants to hide the truth?
Kill the messenger.

Last weekend, the Vatican police arrested two individuals who had served on the current pope’s commission to investigate the finances and economic structure of the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. Monsignor Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda, a top Vatican official for economic affairs, and public relations specialist Francesca Chaouqui are charged with suspicion of leaking confidential information to journalists which was deemed a criminal act in 2013 after the previous pope’s butler triggered what is now referred to as VatiLeaks.

Coincidentally – or not – two new books about Vatican scandals will be released this week, Avarice by Emiliano Fittipaldi and Merchants in the Temple by Gianluigi Nuzzi.
Please ask yourself, “Why is the Vatican so quick to arrest journalists on mere ‘suspicion’ when it continues to employ, financially support, and assign to parishes known serial sex offenders?”

Carson: Women Should Be Ordained



Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson’s faith has been a point of discussion in recent weeks, as outlets have delved deeply into the core beliefs of his Seventh-day Adventist denomination.
Amid the ongoing discussion, Carson has revealed that there’s at least one key issue on which he disagrees with church officials: the ordination of women.
“I don’t see any reason why women can’t be ordained,” Carson told the Associated Press in a recent interview.
This is notable, considering that the the denomination voted 1,381 to 977 to preclude regional bodies from ordaining female pastors this past July at its 60th General Conference Session, as Religion News Service reported at the time.

Why Sugar Is Called “The White Death”


Why-sugar-called-whiteDeath
As good as it may taste, sugar is NOT your friend. It may “feel” like your friend when it comforts you (due to the beta-endorphin rush in your brain), but sugar is really your ENEMY. Truth be told, regular consumption of sugary foods is one of the worst things that you can do for your health. Modern scientific research has shown us, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that sugar in your food (in all its myriad forms) is taking a devastating toll on your health.
Take a look at the sugar consumption trends over the past 300 years:
  • In 1700, the average person consumed about 4 pounds of sugar per year.
  • In 1800, the average person consumed about 18 pounds of sugar per year.
  • In 1900, individual consumption had risen to 90 pounds of sugar per year.
  • In 2012, more than 50% of all Americans consume 1/2 pound of sugar per day — translating to a whopping 180 pounds of sugar per year!
In 1890, only 3 people out of 100,000 had diabetes. In 2012, almost 8,000 out of every 100,000 people was diagnosed with diabetes!
The “sugar rush” has been targeted at our children. American children are consuming about 10 times as much sugar as they were in 1900, especially in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is the average American’s greatest source of calories! Highly addictive HFCS contains fructose and glucose, but they are NOT bound together (as they are in table sugar) so the body doesn’t need to break it down. Therefore, the fructose is absorbed immediately, going straight to the liver, which turns it into fat (VLDL and triglycerides).
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola:
“Fructose also tricks the body into gaining weight by fooling your metabolism (it turns off the appetite-control system). Fructose does not appropriately stimulate insulin, which in turn does not suppress ghrelin (the “hunger hormone”) and doesn’t stimulate leptin (the “satiety hormone”), which together result in your eating more and developing insulin resistance.” This process also suppresses the immune system.
But just because you avoid HFCS doesn’t mean that you’re in the clear. Excess intake of ALL processed sugars results in compromised immune function (decreasing the white blood cells’ ability to destroy bacteria), obesity, and diabetes.
And if that’s not enough, keep in mind that sugar is HIGHLY addictive! That’s right! Dr. Serge Ahmed of Bordeaux, France, has been working with rats and giving them the choice between cocaine and sugar. Guess which one wins, time and again?
That’s right … sugar!
It turns out that the sweet taste of sugar is more rewarding than the high of cocaine.
You see, sugar produces dopamine – a happy, feel-good chemical –  in the brain. People get addicted to eating sugar, whereby they need it to feel “normal” and they undergo “withdrawal” if they cut sugar from their diets. If they go “cold turkey” for a few days, their brain will begin to produce dopamine on its own, but the discomfort of the withdrawal process keeps many “sugar addicts” trapped in their addiction.
What is The Sugar Cancer Connection?
Due to the anaerobic respiratory mechanism exhibited by ALL cancer cell, sugar is cancer’s favorite food! And since half of the white sugar in the USA comes from sugar beets, you should remember that most beets are now genetically modified.  This is another reason to stay away from the “White Death” isn’t it?
I personally recommend that you avoid white sugar, brown sugar, agave, and all artificial sweeteners such as aspartame/AminoSweet, sucralose, and saccharin. If you have a sweet tooth, it’s best to stick with 100% pure stevia, xylitol, raw honey, pure maple syrup, molasses, and coconut sugar. The bottom line: if you want to be and stay healthy, you MUST take control of your sugar intake so that it doesn’t take control over you.
Ending the Sugar Confusion
It is easy to become confused by the various sugars and sweeteners, so here is a basic overview:
  • Saccharide = sugar
  • Glucose (aka “dextrose” or “grape sugar”), galactose (“milk sugar”), and fructose (“fruit sugar”) are all “monosaccharides” (i.e. single sugar molecules), known as “simple sugars.” The primary difference between them is the way your body metabolizes them.
  • Glucose is the form of energy you were designed to run on. Every cell in your body uses glucose for energy.
  • High amounts of fructose are very damaging to the body if it isn’t burned immediately for energy because it travels directly to the liver where it’s converted to triglycerides (fats). Excess triglycerides increase insulin resistance (and insulin production), thus contributing to diabetes in a “back door” fashion.
  • The simple sugars can combine to form more complex sugars, like sucrose (“table sugar”) which is a “disaccharide” comprised of 50% glucose and 50% fructose.
  • “Refined” white sugar (pure sucrose) is washed with a syrup solution, then with hot water, clarified (usually chemically) to remove impurities, decolorized, concentrated, evaporated, re-boiled until crystals form, centrifuged again to separate, then dried. By this point, any remnants of “natural goodness” and “nutritional value” have completely disappeared! Quite frankly, white sugar should be considered an “industrial product” rather than “food.”
  • “Brown sugar” is white sugar mixed with molasses.
  • “Raw” sugar is not really raw—it has been cooked, and most of the minerals and vitamins are gone. But it’s probably a little better than refined white sugar because it has a little of the molasses remaining.
  • Aspartame or AminoSweet is a neurotoxic rat poison … need I say more?
  • Splenda (sucralose) is NOT a sugar, despite its deceptive marketing slogan, “made from sugar.” It’s a chlorinated artificial sweetener in line with aspartame, though not quite as harmful.
  • Honey is approximately 50% fructose, but in natural (raw and unpasteurized) form contains many health benefits. Buying honey that is local and unpasteurized is best.
  • Stevia is an extremely sweet herb derived from the leaf of the South American stevia plant, which is completely safe (in its natural form.) Green stevia is the whole plant, while white stevia is processed and can often contain other ingredients like natural flavors or dextrose – a form of sugar. 100% green stevia in its natural state is what you want.
  • Agave nectar is made from the agave plant, which is a cactus. Sounds natural, right? Like maple syrup from a tree, or honey from a beehive. Only it isn’t. Agave is HIGHLY processed while the end product does not even remotely resemble the original agave plant. Furthermore, agave is approximately 80% fructose (much higher than honey and maple syrup).
  • HFCS – high fructose corn syrup –  is 55% fructose and 45% glucose. It is mostly genetically modified. Stay away!
  • Rapadura is the pure juice extracted from the sugar cane (using a press), which is then evaporated over low heat, whilst being stirred with paddles, then sieve ground to produce a grainy sugar. It has not been cooked at high heats or spun to change it into crystals, and the molasses is maintained in the sugar. “Sucanat” is the USA trade name for Rapadura.
  • Coconut sugar is made from the sweet watery sap that drips from the cut flower buds of the coconut palm. It has a low glycemic index (GI) and is rich in amino acids. It is typically less than 10% fructose, with sucrose being the primary component.
  • Xylitol is a sweetener known as a “sugar alcohol” (or polyol). Sugar alcohols are neither sugars nor alcohols – they are carbohydrates (with structures that happen to resemble sugar and alcohol). Xylitol is extracted from birch cellulose. Unlike sugar, Xylitol is slowly absorbed, does not cause a rapid blood sugar increase, and does not require an immediate insulin response from the body to be metabolized.  Moreover,  many studies have shown that it actually helps prevent dental cavities, ear infections and some evidence suggests that it helps prevent gum disease because Xylitol is an anti-bacterial.

The snares of satan and his secrets plans agains the people of God

"As the people of God approach the perils of the last days, Satan holds earnest consultation with his angels as to the most successful plan of overthrowing their faith. He sees that the popular churches are already lulled to sleep by his deceptive power. By pleasing sophistry and lying wonders he can continue to hold them under his control. Therefore he directs his angels to lay their snares especially for those who are looking for the second advent of Christ, and endeavoring to keep all the commandments of God."

"Says the great deceiver: 'We must watch those who are calling the attention of the people to the Sabbath of Jehovah; they will lead many to see the claims of the law of God; and the same light which reveals the true Sabbath, reveals also the ministration of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, and shows that the last work for mans salvation is now going forward. Hold the minds of the people in darkness till that work is ended, and we shall secure the world and the church also."

"The Sabbath is the great question which is to decide the destiny of souls. We must exalt the sabbath of our creating [Sunday]. We have caused it to be accepted by both worldlings and church-members; now the church must be led to unite with the world in its support. We must work by signs and wonders to blind their eyes to the truth, and lead them to lay aside reason and the fear of God, and follow custom and tradition."

"I will influence popular ministers to turn the attention of their hearers from the commandments of God. That which the Scriptures declare to be a perfect law of liberty shall be represented as a yoke of bondage. The people accept their ministers explanations of Scripture, and do not investigate for themselves. Therefore, by working through the ministers I can control the people according to my will."

"But our principal concern is to silence this sect of Sabbath-keepers. We must excite popular indignation against them. We will enlist great men and worldly-wise men upon our side, and induce those in authority to carry out our purposes. Then the sabbath which I have set up shall be enforced by laws, the most severe and exacting. Those who disregard them shall be driven out from the cities and villages, and made to suffer hunger and privation. When once we have the power, we will show what we can do with those who will not swerve from their allegiance to God. We led the Romish Church to inflict imprisonment, torture, and death upon those who refuse to yield to her decrees, and now that we are bringing the Protestant churches and the world into harmony with this right arm of our strength, we will finally have a law to exterminate all who will not submit to our authority. When death shall be made the penalty of violating our sabbath, then many who are now ranked with commandment-keepers will come over to our side."

"But before proceeding to these extreme measures, we must exert all our wisdom and subtlety to deceive and ensnare those who honor the true Sabbath. We can separate many from Christ by worldliness, lust, and pride. They may think themselves safe because they believe the truth, but the indulgence of appetite or the lower passions, which will confuse judgment and destroy discrimination, will cause their fall."

"Go, make the possessors of lands and money drunk with the cares of this life. Present the world before them in its most attractive light, that they may lay up their treasure here, and fix their affections upon earthly things. We must do our utmost to prevent those who labor in Gods cause from obtaining means to use against us. Keep the money in our own ranks. The more means they obtain, the more they will injure our kingdom by taking from us our subjects. Make them care more for money than for the upbuilding of Christs kingdom and the spread of the truths we hate, and we need not fear their influence; for we know that every selfish, covetous person will fall under our power, and will finally be separated from Gods people."

"Through those that have a form of godliness, but know not the power, we can gain many who would otherwise do us great harm. Lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God will be our most effective helpers. Those of the class who are apt and intelligent will serve as decoys to draw others into our snares. Many will not fear their influence, because they profess the same faith. We will thus lead them to conclude that the requirements of Christ are less strict than they once believed, and that by conformity to the world they would exert greater influence with worldlings. Thus they will separate from Christ; then they will have no strength to resist our power, and erelong they will be ready to ridicule their former zeal and devotion."

"Until the great decisive blow shall be struck, our efforts against commandment-keepers must be untiring. We must be present at all their gatherings. In their large meetings especially our cause will suffer much, and we must exercise great vigilance, and employ all our seductive arts to prevent souls from hearing the truth and becoming impressed by it."

"I will have upon the ground, as my agents, men holding false doctrines mingled with just enough truth to deceive souls. I will also have unbelieving ones present, who will express doubts in regard to the Lords messages of warning to His church. Should the people read and believe these admonitions, we could have little hope of overcoming them. But if we can divert their attention from these warnings, they will remain ignorant of our power and cunning, and we shall secure them in our ranks at last. God will not permit His words to be slighted with impunity. If we can keep souls deceived for a time, Gods mercy will be withdrawn, and He will give them up to our full control."
(Spirit of Prophecy, Vol.4, Ch.27)


The anesthetization of Mankind


television-brainwashing
By Waking Times, October 29, 2015
Humanity's been carefully anesthetized.

Things are moving so fast and crazy and in so many weird directions it's tantamount to mass insanity going on. Yet most don't even notice, and that's the weirdest thing of all. That polarization is what compounds the problem, and that's why the cryptos love to try to continue to confuse and divide us in every way they can.

Hence the growing divide between the awakened and anesthetized.

It's coming down to those who dare wake up to reality vs. those who continue on within the projected mindframe. All have a chance to wake up, but not all will take the challenge and opportunity.

Such is the nature of the Universe apparently. This ongoing contest seems to be the playing field into which we have been planted, and it is each of our choices individually that will make up any sort of outcome.

All will be eventually resolved, but at what cost? Where and in what lies our response-ability?

Medication and Conditioning, Bread and Circus, Omission and Denial

This is where the great schism lies. The awake and aware have snapped out of the control system. Those who haven't are being tooled around like puppets on a million nano strings. When you don't know, you don't know that you don't know...and are very easy to keep being fooled.

When you've woken up, the world is completely reversed from everything you were told and believed before. You now know that you now know! And everything rights itself and all is clear.
It takes some cobweb clearing to get a handle on the real picture but it happens, and in a relative hurry.

Truth not only defends itself, but drives itself.

How do they maintain this illusion? Mental conditioning is the name of the game for the designers and propagators of the matrix. Once the pattern is established in its captive subjects, the more you can pour the lies on without them being noticed. Also disguised is the fact that their every intention for humanity is for control and exploitation....at any cost or consequence to these expendable "human resources".

To achieve this conditioning requires quite an effort on their part, because we are ultimately irrepressible and they know that. It's like chemtrails. If they don't keep spraying the required concentration of their toxic soup the effects start to wane, like the fluoride dosing and the rest. To keep the vast majority sleep walking they use all kinds of methods and have to maintain them.

It's also inspiring...because no matter what they do to us they can't put us out of commission. Unless they kill us off entirely, but that's just a promotion to the next level.

Tools that Numb

But what specifically do they control us by? They flood our bodies with drugs delivered by any means possible; deprivation of nutrition, sunlight and clean air, water and food; dumbed down education and a fully controlled media with mind numbing false news and so-called entertainment; electromagnetic smog blasting on the human nervous system wavelength; violence and oppressive fear and terror tactics, and on and on.

They do this with impunity. Imagine the world is a massive internment camp where the captors give the illusion the inmates are free by letting them have a few choices within this massive facility, and disguise the barbed wire fence as gorgeous murals, and the control devices as modern marvels for their advancement.

Wars are a perfect example. All supposedly for our defense, safety and security, when it's the exact opposite.

Basic Simple Questions

Some fundamental questions that beg answers that are evident before any clear thinking individual:

- How can a government usurping monstrosity like the United Snakes Corporation and its affiliate thugs gang rape a planet and make it look benevolent?

- How can obviously lying elitist politicians bought off by the highest bidder be taken as serious entities in governing institutions?

- How can known secretive government sponsored agencies pull off assassinations and staged bombings and shootings in plain sight?
- How can the most murderous, supremacist, fascist, arrogant, racist people on earth be called "the chosen ones" and given title to anything they want including their own sanctioned Zionist territory and ravenous, genocidal agenda and be given complete religious, social and political immunity and massive financial support? All supposedly based on clearly misguided insane religious zeal?

- How can sweeping freedom destroying measures be instituted by "executive order" and other means in a representative republic, or any supposedly democratic regime?

- How can the food, water and air be deliberately poisoned in public knowledge and in plain sight?

- How can the genetic modification of not just plants and animals but human beings be tolerated, no matter the stated justification?

- How can technocratic electro-surveillance, artificial intelligence, robotic warfare and social and mental manipulation be known and accepted as legitimate human altering science and in full implementation for mass control?

....and on and on...why wouldn't people in such an abused situation not go virtually berserk in protest, or a least speak out on a massive scale?

The Hypnotic Rhythm of Anesthesia

Every day I'm just amazed that so few seem to notice what's going on. The business as usual behavior and shallow chatter about nothing and the complete dependence on routine behavior for money and phony goals is just mind-boggling.
Clearly, there won't be a world in which to live even those shallow goals if things aren't changed drastically.

The day we hope our children and grandchildren to grow up in is quickly becoming not just night, but a literal nightmare.

The snapshot above is from the movie Time Machine from one of globalist insider H.G. Wells' predictive programming pieces where cultivated humans are routinely harvested in the maws of parasitic beings.

Despite this meme of humanity being fodder for others being shown to mankind for eons via literature or inside messengers, humanity doesn't get it. It's another surreptitious way to hide the Truth; sci-fi or story-fy it. Turn the real direction of the controllers into a fiction, a fantasy, and entertainment.

"A tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing," as Shakespeare famously said through Macbeth.

Who's Behind This?

I'm convinced there's something very occult and spiritual that is ultimately behind all this, and these described techniques are just to augment the signal from the bowels of the matrix, be they archontic or some other form of inter-dimensional influence perpetrated by willing psychopaths amongst us. Just as how chemtrails are used by the EMFs to manipulate weather patterns while serving other purposes, they provide an enhanced medium for these spiritual influences to take effect.

The question arises, is something else being perpetrated on a massive scale? Are we subjects of another realm?

I don't know. But does it matter where this oppression originates? I'm sure aware of the possibility and inclined to think so, but that doesn't excuse or distance me from the very real struggle we find ourselves in.

Fundamentally my awareness of these possibilities profoundly indicates to me that I am truly free.

Extremely free. And that has power. Wonderful, conscious, awakening power. And it's for all of us.

Don't begin to believe this massive lie, as real as it is being temporarily manifested due to the accepting ignorance of the majority of humanity. From the religious or financial paradigms to the scarcity and fear of death memes, when you realize what effort they have to make to keep the illusion in place you also realize the extent of your innate power and what they innately fear, a complete reversal of their paradigm.

Grow in the peace of understanding and the courage of conviction, no matter how alone you may feel.

San Francisco Federal Reserve President John Williams said that low neutral interest rates are a warning sign of possible changes in the U.S. economy

San Francisco Federal Reserve President John Williams said on Friday that low neutral interest rates are a warning sign of possible changes in the U.S. economy that the central bank does not fully understand."I see this as more of a warning, a red flag that there's something going on here that isn't in the models, that we maybe don't understand as well as we think, and we should dig down deep deeper and try to figure this out better," he said during a panel discussion at the Brookings Institute in Washington.
Williams, who is a voting member of the Fed's policy-setting panel through the end of the year, has said the central bank should begin to raise interest rates soon but thereafter go at a gradual pace.
He added that the low neutral interest rate had "pretty significant" implications for monetary policy, and put more focus on fiscal policy as a response.
"If we could come up with better fiscal policy, find a way to have the economy grow faster or have a stronger natural rate of interest, then that takes the pressure off of us to try to come up with other ways to do it, like through a large balance sheet or having a higher inflation target," Williams said. "It also means we don't have to turn to quantitative easing and other policies as much."
On Wednesday, the Fed held interest rates near zero but signaled that a December rate rise remains firmly in play.

Changing The Word of God - Why They Changed The Bible

Battle Of The Bibles - Why They Changed The Bible

A Lamp In The Dark The Untold History of the Bible

A Lamp in the Dark is an exciting new documentary that unfolds the fascinating "untold" history of the Bible, revealing critical information often overlooked in modern histories. Enter into a world of saints and martyrs battling against spies, assassins and wolves in sheep's clothing.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the Papal Inquisition forbade biblical translation, threatening imprisonment and death to those who disobeyed. Learn the stories of valiant warriors of the faith, such as John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, the ancient Waldenses, Albigenses and others who hazarded their lives for the sake of sharing the Gospel light with a world drowning in darkness.

Once the common people were able to read the Bible, the world was turned upside down through the Protestant Reformation. The Reformers subdued whole kingdoms by preaching the grace of God, and exposing the unbiblical doctrines of Rome. In response, the Vatican would launch a Counter Reformation to destroy the work of the Reformers, including the bibles they produced.
