Fake News but not Fake Sacrifices

Let me explain to you a trap that many awake Christians fall into. I am sounding the trumpet on this one lest ye error. I have said this before in my God Math post. The greatest mistake you can make as a human being is to declare something 100% false when indeed it is 100% true. I am reminded of scripture. I’ll do you one better. I am reminded of a commandment …

Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. – Exodus 20:16

Bearing false witness is a grievous error. Now not so far removed from bearing false witness is gossip. The difference is gossip is hit or miss bearing false witness. Gossipers are false witnesses by sheer odds. On the times a gossiper is wrong they are bearing false witness. You should be working on reducing your gossip to a minimum as bearing false witness is sin you don’t need added to your charge.

I am seeing well intended Christians claim certain tragic news events are totally staged. I am seeing well intended Christians claim certain tragic news events are 1000% real. Do you see what is happening here? We all want to be right. But we are becoming gossipers. And if we are gossipers inherently we will be in the wrong. In those wrong times we are bearing false witness and we are sinning.

Perhaps you have read Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Perhaps not. I am well aware Dante is the pride of the Catholics. My Christianity is not Dante’s Christianity. However I do respect how this man was able to rank sin in cohesive manner. That accomplishment I think is quite brilliant. There is a phrase Dante uses in his writings that I have never forgotten. Dante uses the phrase “sowers of discord”. These are people who rip apart communities via staged events! They are in circle 8 in hell (fraud). Ladies and gentlemen there are only 9 circles in Dante’s version of hell. Only circle 9 (betrayal) is more heinous. Circle 7 is violence by the way. I can totally believe there are sowers of discord combining violence, fraud, and betrayal in evil flash point events. I can totally see them serving it up to us on a platter via big media as fake news – at least sometimes. The issue is I am not so sure when. And I am telling you right now you are going down the path of the gossiper if you are judging which news events are real and which are fake from afar.

I am not here to tell you which major news events are real. I am not here to tell you which are staged. I will tell you the following is impossible to me. You cannot have a society composed of mostly unsaved people and expect everyone to behave rationally. Some of these tragic events are very real. But which events are real? And where does that leave us as a society?

I believe that yes a wicked person can totally shoot up a crowd sometimes by their own warped mind. It also makes perfect sense to me that on occasions powerful people / organizations fund a psycho to shoot up a crowd. I can also reason no one was killed but a fake news story breaks reporting a fabricated killing with fabricated “evidence”. All of these scenarios seem tremendously logical to me. How about you?

Consider this as Christians. It was never our job to accurately determine and declare each and every news event as factual or fabricated. You are going off the rails if you do this – unless you are a powerful prophet of the Lord of Hosts getting feedback from the Lord constantly on what is real and what is staged. Most of us are not in this category. Just knowing some of these news stories are fabricated is incredibly intelligent of you. The Bible says the following about judging the hearts of men and women …

Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) – 1 Kings 8:39 KJV

One final thing in closing. If you believe that in the Old Testament they sacrificed their children to Molech (Jeremiah 32:35). If you believe the story that the ancient Babylonian priests of Ishtar sacrificed babies and dyed Easter eggs in their blood (where Easter to this day is named after germanic Eostre which is named after babylonian Ishtar). If you believe that the Satanists sacrifice humans on many Satanic holidays including Halloween (google “list of Satanic holidays” and you will find details of this). All of these are very awake things to believe …

Then why would you not believe that powerful sowers of discord can stage events but kill real people?

That is called a ritual. Many of you don’t seem to recognize what a ritual is.

You are witnessing real sacrifices people – at least some of the time.

Psalm 82 and John 10 – Ye Are Gods Explained

Today we are going to talk about the best explanation of Psalm 82 and John 10 I have ever read or seen. This is a Youtube Video and the words within the video might be hard for people to find doing a rudimentary Google search. I will put some of this content into text words such that you can find it much easier. This explanation of Psalm 82 and John 10 is by Steven Bancarz. Steven is a former New Ager. He is now a brother in Christ. Many of the videos he posts have taught me things about the New Age that I did not know. It can be hard to put into words and pinpoint what it is for the average Christian. Steven Bancarz does a great job at doing just that and I encourage him to keep up this tremendous service.

Now it has been said in two scriptures of the Bible “ye are gods”. The New Age runs with this, delights in this, and uses it as leverage against Christians and quite frankly the rest of the Bible. For a long time I thought it was unfair of the New Age to do this. Turns out Steven agrees with me. He explains this eloquently right here …

Below is a transcript of what Steven is saying in general. He first quotes John 10 …

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. – John 10:32-38 (KJV)

And then Steven explains Jesus is quoting Psalm 82:6 …

1 {A Psalm of Asaph.} God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Mind you (in my own words) Jesus is quoting the Old Testament here. He quoted the Old Testament many times. So obviously Jesus knew and respected the Old Testament. The real consciousness of Christ aka “Christ Consciousness” knew and respected the Old Testament. Do the New Agers today respect the Old Testament? No.

Now back to Steven’s video. Steven elaborates that the New Age interprets these two scriptures gnostically as “we are little gods ascending the ladder of deification”. Or mystically to mean that God is in all things (attempting to justify pantheism by the way). Presented with gusto and confidence and used against Christians by people like Deepak Chopra. He highlights a quote from Deepak …

I interpreted this as “those who have knowledge of God are God.” In Eastern philosophical systems there’s an established idea of a path through personal consciousness to a collective conscience to a universal conscience, which people call the divine. I concluded that Jesus must have experienced this consciousness, and that he must have followed a path.” – Deepak Chopra on Jesus

My own thoughts again here. Jesus was a Jew. He was not an Eastern Mystic. He was not a Buddhist nor a Taoist nor a Hindu. What Deepak and many others in the New Age try to do is convert Jesus into something he was not. Square peg does not fit in round hole. Jesus was a Hebrew. He quoted the Old Testament which is a fact and he did it often. So how can you have the “Christ Consciousness” if you don’t know and respect the Old Testament? How can you have the Christ Consciousness if you don’t know your Bible thoroughly? Logically you can’t. Back to Steve.

Steve explains we need to elaborate on Psalm 82 and John 10 (absolutely!). This video explains who were these verses addressing, why were they called “gods”, why did Jesus reference Psalm 82, and was Jesus telling us we are all gods? He then goes on to brilliantly teach us about the Old Testament Judges which is the key to this entire post. This video answers so many questions. It is one of the greatest Christian videos I have seen this year. It is a must watch for Christians and New Agers alike.

In The Beginning

It has been a while since I have posted. I apologize for that. Nowadays I try to write for quality not quantity. It wasn’t always that way. My early stuff was not so brilliant. I went for quantity back then. You have to start somewhere. Somewhere along the line I caught my stride. Lately my stuff has been, in my opinion, the most quality writing of my life. Isn’t this an adequate representation of our existence? We start out eager but not knowing much. By the middle perhaps we have learned some things. In the end we hope to claim yes we know some thing.

I want to try to push your mind farther than anyone ever has today. I want to talk about metaphysics. Metaphysics means “the state of things before or beyond physics” for those not familiar. This is the discussion of the reality before atoms and electrons and really any tangible item you can attribute to “the real”. Metaphysics is more important than you probably give credit. Without it you are kind of lost by default. How so? Well you are here. You are found in the real. Having an explanation for the beginning of the real is a thorough explanation of you if you think about it. Because at some point you became part of the real. Not being able to explain the beginning of all is an incomplete story of you. Yes your natural birth marks a beginning. However the real existed before your birth. Or maybe it didn’t? Perhaps your theory of your reality is a hologram. At least be able to explain it with vindication. Be able to explain the beginning of all things.

Have you ever watched the tv series Ancient Aliens? The narrator of that show loves saying something like this. “Ancient astronaut physicists believe that aliens are responsible for (fill in the blank phenomenon or supernatural event)”. Ok so I have a question for the ancient astronaut physicists.

Who created the aliens? Even the aliens have a beginning. If alien races exist out there in the real then someone or something created them. I want to quote a book that has some answers about aliens and alien worlds and their beginning …

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds – Hebrews 1:2 – KJV

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. – Hebrews 11:3 – KJV

Yes I just quoted the Bible. Seems to me like Bible scripture really doesn’t have a problem with aliens and alien worlds literally existing. And why should there be any issue? Whom amongst us has the nerve to tell the Creator that multiple worlds are not allowed? Not I. It doesn’t shake my faith in the slightest. Aliens may exist in space time and if they do they have a beginning. That is what I want to say about them. Beyond that I do not care. Aliens have a life to live. So do you. What is the difference if they exist or not?

If space time is hard for you to grasp consider the concept of movement. Space is the room in which objects move. Time is the speed at which objects move. Space time can be that simple if you will allow it.

Now there is a popular scientific theory for the creation of space time which you have likely heard. You may recognize the concept from the popular television show the Big Bang Theory. Isn’t it fascinating that a mega hit show featuring 4 geniuses gets its title from a concept of the beginning of all? Inferring that brilliant people have some explanation for the beginning …

I know that TV show makes fun of Christians from time to time. Then again I once heard Sheldon explain Christmas which was so accurate I can’t believe it was allowed on television. Use your own discretion as a viewer!

Now I understand that the big bang theory scientific concept explains that everything happened from an initial explosion of a super hot grape fruit billions of years ago. So whom put that thing in motion? Whom crafted that super hot grape fruit? All roads lead back to an intelligent Creator not bound by space time …

Now the scientific big bang theory postulates that the universe took billions of years to create. Ok then. Biblical creation is typically interpreted as a much shorter (around 6000 years give or take). Therefore the Bible must be wrong on creation because of the timeline correct? Hold the phone. I just made a strong case as to why the Creator factors in huge into the big bang theory. In other words there is more to the big bang than what is explained. The same applies here. There is the root meaning of the Hebrew word yom that doesn’t get talked about a lot. The word for day in Genesis 1 is the Hebrew word yom or yome which can mean 24 hours – but does not have to. In fact the word can be used to describe an age which can have as many days in it as you want it to have. People assume that the Bible contradicts a billions of years universe creation. It doesn’t say that in black and white fashion. When I read Genesis 1 with e-sword software to tell me what the word “day” means in Hebrew I see an arbitrary beginning time especially pre second day where stuff happened in what seems to me arbitrary time.

I have something else for you to consider. Bend your mind around this wild concept. I want to point out the Thunderbolt Project. This is a theory that suggests ancient hieroglyphics around the world make a case for Saturn being the ancient original sun of the earth. A good video to watch on this is their Symbols of an Alien Sky Youtube video …

I am not saying this Thunderbold Project is concrete truth. I am saying push your mind harder. Have you ever considered that perhaps the Earth was once located in a different section of the solar system – specifically very close to Saturn? That perhaps maybe the planets have been around for billions of years but maybe Earth’s current orbit around the Sun is relatively fresh? That carbon dating relies on a constant amount of carbon in the atmosphere but maybe the carbon wasn’t always constant? The beginning of the earth may have been a wild scene. Consider wild scenarios! Biblical creation account is starting to look pretty good to me.

One more thing about earth. This is for the flat earthers. I have never seen with my own two eyes in this flesh suit the vantage point of the entirety of the earth to judge its shape from outer space. I cannot give you a first hand account of a spherical or flat earth. But I can show you math …

Every circle has a square in it. Every circle has four corners. I don’t care if the thing is round or square. My two feet are on it and I have things to do here regardless of the earth’s shape.

Now we have truly come full circle. I wanted to give you some food for thought. I wanted to convey that aliens and spherical earth and a billion year old universe actually don’t clash with the Bible (at least how I interpret it). Finally I want you to be able to explain the beginning of all things if asked. Be very careful in ruling out what didn’t happen lest ye error.
