The Conundrum of Sharing

The Conundrum of Sharing

            The conundrum of sharing, perhaps the most interesting aspects of animal life. The animal behavioral specialist(social biologist) I believe, would specify that all animal life shares with "its kind" (Genesis 1:25). In varying extents (herds of wildebeests, flocks of sheep, prides of lion, colony of penguins, pack of dogs, flock of geese, pod of whales, etc.) all share with one another, of its kind.  The smallest of vertebrate life, the ant, are known for sharing, even taking care of one another.  "The ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer" (Proverbs 30:25). In the African bush, I saw something which my guide told me he had never seen before, a herd of elephants at one end of a large lake, a herd of buffalo at the other end. In one African river, thousands of hippos, during the day, under water except for their backside's so that the river looked like one cobblestone street. As normal as breathing, animals associating with one another, sharing. It does not take but a few days for the kindergartener to talk about his friends. Older, the same kindergarten students, become high school students, spending much time on the telephone with their friends. Man is a "social" animal, whether men in a barbershop, women in a beauty shop, or gang members or soldiers around a pool table.

            I have nothing but sympathy for lonely people...those in nursing homes, those children in camps around strangers, away from the familiarity of home.

            As an army medical officer, the sickest patients I ever knew were young people suffering from homesickness. The most tragic patients I have ever known, both young men and women from homes where they were abused. I once asked a young man why the scars on his body? He did not hesitate, "From the beatings of a drunken-vile father." I was on the staff of the army hospital at the WAC training center of the army (women's army core, Ft. McClellan Alabama). So many women came from homes where they were sexually abused. This is the excessive baggage which young people should not be forced to carry with them their entire life. Yet, so many of the people you deal with each day, some which you find so hard to understand, are carrying around baggage which no one could ever comprehend...enslaved by the scars/warts/memories of abuse, addictions, anguish.

            In order for a book, television show, Broadway play, movie, TO BE A BEST SELLER, IT MUST BE THE WORST SMELLER.  On the road of life, we are all just voyeurs, tantalized by other people's lives, other people's problems, other people's weaknesses, other people's sins. Why do you think Oprah was so popular, digging down into other people's foibles and families?  The essence of every book of fiction, play, movie, digging into the minds-weaknesses-strengths of other people. Our mothers and grandmothers, victims-addicts of the "soaps." Lies on the television so much more interesting than their own- living vicariously through actors. Most lives are just "party line telephone" listeners. We strain to hear conversations from another table, gossip from a magazine, other's lives are so much more interesting than our own. Yet, people are arrested everyday for peeping and we could not imagine anyone interested enough in our dull lives to peep on us. In nightclubs, small groups-cliques, people in activated conversations. I often thought, "What are they talking about? They do not know anything." Same at the church house, court house, or even your teenager on the phone. If you ask any of these people so engaged in conversation, "What were you talking about?" Always the same answer, "Nothing." We are just social creatures, drivel, procurers of trivia. Yet, many of us hold memories forever of conversations.

            My very first memory of my grandparents as a very young child, a heated argument between them about who was going to pay for my aunt's college tuition. They were in another room, the aunt, home for the weekend, ready to leave since her parents were taking her back to school. I am probably the only one who paid any attention to their argument because, at that innocent age, I could not understand that kind of attitude in people who I loved.

            As old as time, mankind, men, women, even the lower animals, unable to get along. Beyond count, the tears-pain of warfare.

            No other man has ever been able to write words such as the Apostle Paul, the love chapter of The Bible (1 Cor 13). "And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these [is] love." This chapter of The Bible is the only chapter in which Jonathan Edwards, leader of the great awakening, preacher of the world's famous sermon "Sinners in the hands of an angry God", ever preached verse by verse.

            We often think that God is a tempter. Only once, the world's first Jew, Abraham. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am]" (Genesis 22:1). Referring to God establishing a definite relationship between himself and Abraham and his willingness to offer his son Isaac as a burn sacrifice. For God to be God, he has no needs, does not tempt anyone. "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man" (James 1:13). Sovereign God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, totally in charge, HE IS BOSS.

            Puny man might think that a God of wrath could easily turn against a perverted, profane people who kill babies, marry males and females of the same sex, intent on lying, cheating, stealing, would send the worst drought in 50 years, the worst storm in 100 years. We know that there is enough evil in the world, enough scientific knowledge, that mankind is capable of weather manipulation. A special agency, HAARP, is set up for this function, easily available to people with power, people with money. It is important for the Christian to share with the world that God is long suffering, "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). God has a record, once destroyed the world and everything in it by water. "O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever" (Psalm 136:1).

Plant-based diet helps prevent more than 60 percent of chronic disease deaths

Tuesday, October 30, 2012 by: John Phillip

(NaturalNews) Chronic illnesses including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity account for nearly 65 percent of all deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. Over the course of modern human history, forward thinking scientists have known that a diet largely consisting of plants, fruits, nuts and seeds promote optimal health, and when coupled with a healthy lifestyle, can prevent, and in many cases treat a wide variety of chronic diseases that kill millions every year.

Prior studies over the past two decades have provided solid evidence to show that taking the majority of calories from plant-based foods dramatically lowers the incidence of disease. Diets high in hydrogenated fats and sugars, low in fiber, high in refined and processed grains and low in plant foods are increasingly being consumed by children and adults in western cultures. This dramatic shift toward consumption of fast and convenience foods over the past half century is a direct and indisputable cause of chronic illness.

Adding to the insurmountable evidence is a research body published in the magazine, Food Technology that explains how recent discoveries in nutritional genomics explain how plant-based diets are effective at warding off disease. Senior editor, Toni Tarver explains how people living in societies that eat healthy, plant-based diets rarely fall victim to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and dementia, the leading causes of death for the vast majority of aging adults.

Processed and refined foods promote disease while a plant-based diet supports health

The author provides evidence to explain how bioactive compounds in plant foods play a role in controlling genetic and other biological factors that lead to chronic disease. Inflammation is increasingly found to be the root cause of most chronic diseases, and antioxidants from natural foods eaten raw or minimally cooked counter free radicals that fan the flames of inflammation and damage cellular form and function while altering DNA integrity as well.

Plant compounds help control a gene linked to cardiovascular disease and plaque buildup in arteries and change genetic expression while altering the function of critical cellular components responsible for forming and sustaining tumors. Dr. William Li, President and Medical Director of the Angiogenesis Foundation in Cambridge, MA concludes "Prevention is always better than a cure... foods that may help prevent cancer and other chronic diseases include artichokes, black pepper, cinnamon, garlic, lentils, olives, pumpkin, rosemary, thyme, watercress, and more."

There should be no doubt that natural compounds found in a plant-based diet provide optimal protection against specific chronic illnesses. For example, some studies have concluded that lycopene from tomatoes appears to lower the risk of prostate, lung, and bladder cancers while other studies have shown that foods rich in anthocyanins, such as blueberries and strawberries, significantly reduce death from cardiovascular disease. A natural diet of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and no more than 10 percent of calories from organic meats are the key to prevent chronic disease and early mortality.

Addition Dr. Morris:

            We have heard the phrase, made popular during the Clinton campaign, which democrats now wish they could forget, "It's the economy, stupid." This writer never ceases to be surprised (and at my age, I should not be surprised by anything anymore), the mental ability of Americans. It has happened in my lifetime, thinking that money grows on trees, free money just for the picking, growing up thinking you can eat anything and get by with it. The public schools have failed miserably to teach children about good habits, especially in the area of eating. It is with the pollution of synthetics in food, artificial flavors, sweeteners, GMO's, MSG's (monosodium glutamates), hydrogenated fats, public eateries discovered in the last half of the 20th century, just how addicted the public is to sugar, so sugar was put in everything. The most vicious sweetener, aspartame. Generations have been sold on the idea of diet this or that (using artificial sweeteners). Artificial sweeteners are good for rat and roach poisons.

            It is believed now that the human body has 100 trillion cells, each cell a chemical factory. We lose 300 million cells every minute. Nutrition from live plants, fish oils, are essential in health immunology (immune system). A good immune system prevents cancer and diabetes.

            I have found, over the years, that Christian people are more ignorant than most about nutrition. I am truly saddened to see a "fat" preacher...have you noticed the backsides of many "church" women? If Christian living has taught us anything it should be disciplined in our habits...putting forth the best version of yourself is a part of your testimony. Eating together, the fellowship of sharing food, a vital part of church activity. But, looking at the size of some church members gives new meaning to the words "pot luck."

            I stopped going to one church because this blind man, on exiting the building after morning worship service, was almost trampled each Sunday by people breaking their neck to get to the cafeteria. The greatest fellowship I ever enjoyed, in the military service, a young couple who would invite me for lunch at their home. We had sandwiches which gave her time for fellowship with her husband and me....discussing the morning Sunday school lesson-sermon. Have those church members, who push and shove to get to the local cafeterias and restaurants on Sunday after church, ever thought about their testimony to the employees of these restaurants? The employees could not attend worship service because they were working for the church goers. The Christian should never forget that we are body, soul and spirit.

            Recently, eating lunch with officials from a Christian college, speaking as I have so many times of the importance of the ministry of good healthcare, most of which comes from discipline in nutrition. I said, how thankful I am, to know that our blessed Lord had the enjoyment of the home of his friends Mary, Martha and Lazarus at Bethany. Can you not see them, in fellowship, eating laughing and talking? Of course, 2,000 years ago, not as many pollutants (addictive sweeteners, artificial flavorings) as today. I just must feel that they were eating healthy, live healthy plants (vegetables and fruits), fresh eggs and meat.

Rail Fences

Rail Fences

            The 21st century with its smart phones, phone tablets, smart cars, drone warfare, we would not believe that a country, 230 years old, first arriving pilgrims, seeking freedom of religion, most had never seen a Bible. A Bible printed for the common man had only been in existence for about 60 years (60 years). Many including William Tyndall had been burned at the stack for daring to translate The Bible into English. IF the common man in Europe had read The Bible, understood God's message to him, the crusades-holy inquisitions-religious wars, would never have taken place. Until the 15th century, earliest Christians, particularly Catholic have kept the word of God restricted to the pulpit. Probably, the Septuagint translation which Jesus and his disciples read, was as available in their day as 1500 years later (the complete Bible was not available until A.D 90). As today, the religionists-educated, had probably not seen the light as much as those who walked in darkness (monks, priests). "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light" (Eph 5:8). Starting with creation, God's word shows us in intimate detail, that light is the essence of life in creation and in the very soul of the believer.

            Metes and bounds, descriptive terms setting up boundaries in England, brought to America and still used until this day. In my life, boundaries of man have been extended beyond belief.

            On the farm, plantation, where my mother was reared, land in her family for many generations, there were still split rail fences. Our ancestry in colonial America, did not have and probably could not afford metal fences. People today collect early barbed wire fencing, it is so interesting, still collectable because you can find it inside trees which grew over and around it. In Europe, there are still stone fences built by early Rome as they conquered. There are hedge rows, structures marking ownership. One does not take down a fence without asking, "Why was it first constructed?" The taking down of fences, peering into the unknown, breaking down barriers has been a long, slow process. Galileo, with his little telescope,  at Pisa, Italy, had no idea what he was studying, nor did Leeuwenhoek with his small microscope. The Hebrew word for "smell" is cognitive to the Hebrew word "spirit" (http://www.bjewsusa.com/jewish_calendar_03_08.htm). Man had sense enough to know the value of smell (rottenness from purity). Smell kept people from eating spoiled food. Smell gave delight from flowers. Dogs have always been used for hunting, both game and criminals, because of their sense of smell. In breaking through the barrier of nanotechnology, as with Watson and Creek in DNA discovery (1953). Man is entangled in the real and the supernatural, spiritual and temporal. Vapors (smells), the absolutes of tones (music), atomic weights-molecular structure with the absolutes of the internal being. With the latest-world's most powerful optical microscope, there is no limit to the smallness of discovery. ONE CAN STUDY THE VIRUS INSIDE THE CELL..penetrating the cell walls. This writer is convinced that the chosen-elect of God have definite codes on their DNA. From the split rail fence, boundaries-barriers, God has allowed penetration through knowledge. Remember, in Him is light, no darkness at all. Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Col 1:12), JUST IMAGINE THAT. We can almost hear Jesus reading, as he did in Carpurnium, the manuscript of the profit. "Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended" (Isaiah 60:20, Luke 4:16-18).

            The child of God, the believer redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, so cheats himself, playing games with God...thinking that he is honoring God by letting God think he believes-trusts Him. Billy Graham said that, "85% of all protestants are lost, that most in the pulpits do not believe." The same power that raised Lazarus from the dead, the same light that Peter, James and John saw on the mount of Transfiguration, "And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light (Matthew 17:2), is now and has always been available to those who love Him. God has always required trust, and trust is not blind. "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever" (Romans 1:25). Next to the killing of the unborn (abortion), and God will take care of that whether in China, Cuba or America, destroying the innocence in the mind's of children. Young people learn early not to trust anyone and then we wonder why they do not trust God. Education, political system, economy, even the judiciary, all built on deception. The hypocrisy of popularity at any cost, political correctness, selling out to any bar, compromising with even the savior of the world. Just think, the nature of God instilled in those who trust Him, the awesomeness of being a joint heir with Jesus Christ. The distance from the rail fence to nanotechnology is great but not as the 14 inches of the mind to the heart of man, realizing that Jesus in you, life, truth, light of the world.

            A mystery to this writer, but now I understand, lives soaked in sin, finally seeing the light, redeemed, forgiven, always anxious to get in the pulpit. It is hard to stay behind any fence, any barrier, when you have good news (gospel of salvation).

CNBC Exec’s Children Murdered, 1 Day After CNBC Reports $43 Trillion Bankster Lawsuit

October 27, 2012

This week financial news organization CNBC gave some mainstream attention to the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States History, in which “Banksters” and their U.S. racketeering partners are being accused of laundering of 43 trillion dollars worth of ill gotten gains.

The lawsuit is said to involve officials located in the highest offices of government and the financial sector.

Since this information was surprisingly revealed by the mainstream news organization there has been a very suspicious and deadly fallout at the CNBC headquarters.

Within hours the original page for the article was taken down, and CNBC senior vice president Kevin Krim received news that his children were killed under very suspicious circumstances.

It seems that the murder happened first and then the page was removed later.

According to mainstream accounts the children’s nanny is responsible for the murders, allegedly stabbing both children.

(Ad) Depopulation is Not Left or Right, it Effects us All — LEARN MORE

However, those same mainstream news sources report the highly unlikely story that the nanny slit her own throat just after committing the homicides.

Police have released very little information and although a wider plot has not been officially implicated, it seems very possible that these murders are a show of force against the press organization for releasing such damning information about the most powerful people in the world.

Here is some more information about the lawsuit from the Wall Street Journal:

    “In the District Court lawsuit, Spire Law Group, LLP — on behalf of home owner across the Country and New York taxpayers, as well as under other taxpayer recompense laws — has expanded its mass tort action into federal court in Brooklyn, New York, seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide pending the return of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) by the “Banksters” and their co-conspirators, seeking an audit of the Fed and audits of all the “bailout programs” by an independent receiver such as Neil Barofsky, former Inspector General of the TARP program who has stated that none of the TARP money and other “bailout money” advanced from the Treasury has ever been repaid despite protestations to the contrary by the Defendants as well as similar protestations by President Obama and the Obama Administration both publicly on national television and more privately to the United States Congress.

    Because the Obama Administration has failed to pursue any of the “Banksters” criminally, and indeed is actively borrowing monies for Mr. Obama’s campaign from these same “Banksters” to finance its political aspirations, the national group of plaintiff home owners has been forced to now expand its lawsuit to include racketeering, money laundering and intentional violations of the Iranian Nations Sanctions and Embargo Act by the national banks included among the “Bankster” Defendants. “

Some of the alleged conspirators are Attorney General Holder, Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the brother in law of Defendant California Attorney General Kamala Harris, Jon Corzine (former New Jersey Governor), Robert Rubin (former Treasury Secretary and Bankster), Timothy Geitner, Treasury Secretary, Vikram Pandit (recently resigned and disgraced Chairman of the Board of Citigroup), Valerie Jarrett (a Senior White House Advisor), Anita Dunn (a former “communications director” for the Obama Administration), Robert Bauer (husband of Anita Dunn and Chief Legal Counsel for the Obama Re-election Campaign), as well as the “Banksters” themselves, and their affiliates and conduits.

It is expected that all news on this subject will be removed from CNBC, and that other news organizations will be discouraged from covering such information.

However, screen shots of the original CNBC article were taken to verify the authenticity of this story.

Assassination and brute intimidation are common strategies for the ruling class to use on people who may threaten their agenda.

This is the second situation this week in which a high level executive was the victim of a suspicious attack that seemed very much like an assassination.

The Intel Hub just reported that Nicholas Mockford, a 60 year old British executive for the oil company ExxonMobil was shot dead in front of his wife in an assassination-style killing in Brussels.

We will be keeping a close eye on both of these stories and provide more details as they become available.

            Addition Dr. Morris:

            Someone asked this totally blind veteran, a knight of over 50 years (Korean war era), if I became discouraged after hearing information such as the above. To the uninitiated, everything is obscure. I have followed world events and seen things go from worse to worse. Studying the assassinations of the U.S ambassador and others, the many questions involved, the only thing that would make me feel better...justice for my country, Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama, with handcuffs.

            Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama will not be impeached, too many others are involved. It should scare every thinking person and certainly everyone who claims the name of Christ, that almost 50% of the American population votes for and supports such people.

            Even when the storm of the century, called by weather forecasters, unique-historical-frightening, measuring 1,000 miles across, bringing death and destruction to a large part of the nation, does not awaken even the most cynical agnostic, we know just how far we have sunk, dumbed down by the satanic forces of darkness around us (Eph 6-12).

Stuck Needle

Stuck Needle

            This writer is a collector-seller of antiquarian books and records, multi-thousands in which I have a lifetime involvement.

            Radio was a very new thing for me as a child. I loved radio then, I love radio now. So expensive, my parents could not afford a radio but they had a Victroller (product of R.C Victor-large black cabinet instrument on which you played records). Earliest recordings were on cylinders, mostly hymns. I owned 47 cylinders, have sold them all. Old records, grooves, were easily broken. The vinyl on which later records were made was much easier to handle and did not scratch as easily. Often the needle would get stuck in a groove, happened even at the radio station. When the needle was stuck, you heard the same thing over and over. In recent years, broadcasts, nightclubs, disk jockeys learned to mix music. Many young people knew more about vinyl records, the rock stars who made them, than anything else. I believe many became addicted to music, and would even carry a JAMBOX (easily transportable, large radio with handles). In taverns, cafes there were large jukeboxes in which you put money to play your favorite songs. These records were usually 45 rpm. To keep from paying royalties to stars, ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), who collected and protected fees for the playing of records, counter fit records were produced, often owned by children. I have a large collection of these counter fit records, where the artist names were changed. Example: Beatles, to Bugs. The music business, in all its areas, was a large, profitable area of Americana. So many of my high collectable records are sold in Europe and Asia, where pop music was never as addictive as here. The phenomenon of records, CD's, and now radio talk shows, can best be described as a stuck needle for awhile....a passing interest. The greatest phenomenon is the attention an artist-talk show host, get for awhile. Much like the movie magazines of the early 20th century, a new definition of "fans." We hear the listeners, participants in the talk shows, telephone communication, show an almost IDYLLIC rapport with the shows host.  You hear such words as, "I never miss a program" or "I listen every day."

            You wonder if these people have as much concern in their religious life, especially those who call themselves "Christians", a word so easily thrown around. You wonder if they have a prayer life. I have relatives, associates who never miss listening to Rush Limbaugh's three hour diatribe every day. They can quote him or any of the stars, like movie stars-rock stars-sports stars, know all the news available about the individual. It is easy to understand the interest of their heart-mind, people who claim to be Christians-Jews-Patriots, can never quote one verse of scripture, one article of The Constitution yet know all about the NEWS MAKERS. They get the same quotes from the same people, over and over...Gloria Allred, Donald Trump, Ann Coulter, Ted Turner, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Chris Matthews, Larry King, etc, etc, etc. Why don't these people just go away? We have heard from them over and over. Ted Turner, "Everyone should be like me, enlightened." I'm sickened by the second greatest egotist on the planet, Rush Limbaugh, paid a fortune to spread rumors and would dare use such a fraise as his brain "on loan from God."

            With a stuck record, you seldom get real news. Just the lies, opinions, miss-information which the government wishes you to have.

            Only a very stupid person has not learned by now that all news, whether from the government or else ware, is carefully controlled. IT IS AN INSIDERS GAME, high paid surrogates produce just what they want the general public to know. If politicians told the truth, they would never get re-elected and they know it. The two dominant political parties, in absolute control of government. On the surface, they may appear partisan but when you dig into the morass of government, you find the crooked pieces of the governmental jigsaw puzzle just being shifted around to FIND A FIT, some department, some office, so all shapes(crooks) can continue having a high paying job, can continue to be popular, politically correct in the cocktail circuit.

            I never cease to be amazed by the television-talking heads- sparsing words in answering questions. Truth is the most scarce-lost word in their vocabularies. When will the producers, not the moochers, become concerned? When will the defenders(military veterans and parents who have produced the military veterans) become as important as the pretenders-dependers (50% of the population welfare dependant, 100 million of the American population receiving entitlement checks)? To show you how far astray this nation has gone, things that used to be normal are now considered pathological. No manual has grown as rapidly as the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on mental disease. Anything that goes wrong with a child, once considered normal, now handled by medication. A 7 fold increase in psychotropic prescriptions for children.  There was a time when parents wanted their children to obey, now, to be happy. We have a society of dependency (cradle to the grave with no relation to reality). $40 billion dollars is spent each year on anti-depressants. In the microwave mentality, selling perception not reality.

            The church has become a willing camp stool for the Devil to sit. Evidently, the Christian no longer has the ability to recognize satanic forces. As is the case in writer C.S Lewis', The Screwtape Letters, the old Devil tells his demons, "They do not even realize we are around."  Most church members do not realize that the church is at war with the world, they are too busy envying-copying the activities of the world. If you have the spirit of God in you as a Christian, one easily sees it in your living and giving.

            Long ago, Kalahari area of Botswana (I still had some vision then), I watched lions in the bush as a herd of thousands of wildebeest ran by. The lions would pick off the young, disabled, a pregnant mother dropping a baby. The weakest always get taken first, those not alert.  "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8).

            There was a time when medical science did not feel that the tonsils, adenoids, appendix, were important. Think of the money made in excising them. We know now that they had their place-function-importance. This writer is convinced that if the church, people who profess to believe in the mission of the church, people who are true patriots of America, would get away from the clowns of today (stuck needles), puppets of profits, and concentrate of the salvation of our nation through prayer, we would see great and immediate changes.

Unfolding

Unfolding

"No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon" (Luke 16:13).

            Unfolding, another Presidential election. This time, more money was spent for advertising than ever before, $5.8 billion dollars. (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2012/08/2012-election-total-spending-costliest-obama-romney-/1#.UIlVjoZvB0I) You tire of answering the "robo-calls" on the phone, hearing the advertisements in every form of media. We believe George Washington did not spend one dime to become President, was honored to "stand" for President.

            The citizen feels he is being hazed by a college fraternity, moving through a gauntlet-maze, kicked, pushed, slapped from every side.

            One thing is certain as you listen to the Presidential debates, nothing exceptional about either candidate. They are not smarter than most people, did not have a mother smarter than yours. Obama, prestigious schools, on scholarships. Romney, wealthy, governor Father, prestigious schools. Both have had advantages to which the average person knows nothing. Like George W. Bush before Obama, father President (41), Vice President, House member. Grandfather, U.S senator. Yet, President George W. Bush (43) had never been in U.S capitols, House of Representatives until he gave his first State of the Union message. He was raised in the lap of luxury, caressed by the best schools and universities, socialized by the elite of the country (President Nixon would send an air force plane down to bring him to Washington to escort his daughter's around the capital).

            Obama, educated in a Muslim madrasa, supposedly educated at Columbia, Harvard, although records are sealed like so much of this man's life. For 20 years, sitting under the preaching on Dr. Jeremiah Wright...liberation theology, Obama claims that he heard nothing, probably did not see Harriet Tubman's portrait in the vestibule of the church. Contrast, Romney, Mormon, pastor-missionary, belief in a religion which claims that Jesus was married to both Mary and Martha.

            The best you can say, both lost but Obama lost having no morals, admitted dope addict (reportedly, member of Chicago's famous gay bath house, Man's Country, although all records have been sealed) probably the most immoral man ever in the White House. Romney lost but probably the most moral President ever to serve. Mormon's do not drink alcohol, caffeine-carbonated drinks, use tobacco products, have complete sexual purity, even sparingly ingest meat. God did not write The Bible for easy understanding. Just as you do not find gold, jewels on the surface, you must dig for them. So it is with the inspired, inherit word of God. I was in the Gold Temple at the Sikhs of Armristar, India, great volumes of books piled high, monks studying continuously. Same in the Vatican library, libraries all over the world. The monk Tischendorf, arriving at St. Catherine's monastery, Mt Sinai, found the nuns burning leaves of ancient manuscripts to stay warm. Retrieving these leaves, they became the Codex Sinaiticus (like Codex's "Vantec's" one of the oldest Bibles).

            For 15 centuries, the Catholic church kept God's word hidden from the people, priests reading it aloud in service. With Luther and others, The Bible became available to the average man, although many of its early translators were burned at the stake.

            For sight, there must be light. Jesus healing those blind from birth, instilled light into their eyes. Jesus told us that he is the light of the world (John 8:12). Jesus was with his father in creation (John 1). The sun, moon, reflection from the sun, he was a pillar of fire, light for the children of Israel. In Him was light, no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). And, if the gospel be hid, hid to those who are lost (2 Cor 4:5).

            The main purpose of Satan, blindness, to keep everyone blind from the saving grace of Jesus. When the blind, the disabled, are touched by the power of God, you understand the man laying at the gate Beautiful at the temple for 40 years, holding on to Peter and John (Acts 3:2).  Only one who is disabled can understand healing in The Bible or any other place. Only one who has known the perils of warfare (veterans), so devastated by the Obama's of the world.

            God chooses outstanding people. A genetic perspective we do not thoroughly understand. The chosen come from the poor, flawed. Satan wants everyone, knows that some easier enticed. The geneticist-psychologist-paleontologist has yet to define or predict success. Frederick Nietzsche (God Is Dead), pianist, could never understand why he could not play as well as the great historical pianist.

           

            There are degrees in surgeon's skills, degrees of accomplishment in a carpenter's skills. This writer is convinced that most physicians, pastors, parents, have never realized the majesty of the "laying on" of hands. This writer is convinced that many are healed simply by the magnificence (soveigrnty of God) TRANSMUTED through the hands. God forgives the mother who slaps her child, the teacher who whips the hand. "I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness" (Isaiah 41:10).  We must believe that God is, and that he does everything he promises (Titus 1:2). God honors His word (Psalm 138:2).

Heal Thyself

Heal Thyself

(Luke 4:23)

He loves to see His poor, helpless, suffering patients come!

(James Smith, "The Love of Christ! The Fullness, Freeness, and Immutability of the Savior's Grace Displayed!")

"The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it--but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores!" Isaiah 1:5-6

Sin not only brings us under condemnation--but it assumes the character of a disease! It has infected the whole soul, and spoiled every faculty. We need healing--as well as pardon. Jesus, in the greatness of his love, provides for both. He becomes not only our Redeemer--but our Physician. He employs His Spirit, His Word, and His Providence--to bring us to a healthy state.

He lays open the wound to our view--and then applies His own most precious blood to heal it! He makes us to feel our sickness--and then bestows His grace to restore us to health. All healing is by His skill--and through His Spirit, grace, blood, and Word. He is the maker of the Balm of Gilead--and He is the Physician there.

He undertakes the healing of all who apply to Him! He never yet failed in any case! He heals all gratuitously. His wisdom shines in the management of every case--and also His skill in healing the most desperate and alarming cases. He acts so kindly and tenderly to all His patients, and heals so judiciously--that He wins the heart of every patient--and all are delighted with His skill.

Thousands throng Him--but not one is overlooked or neglected by Him. He is always at His office, and ready to heal. He loves to see His poor, helpless, suffering patients come--and always greets them with a hearty welcome.

The plague of the heart,

the plague of the head,

weakness in the hands,

feebleness in the knees,

blindness,

deafness,

leprosy,

disease in every form--

are easily removed by Him.

Before Him . . .

the lame man leaps like an deer,

the tongue of the dumb sings,

broken hearts rejoice, and

the blind see out of darkness and out of obscurity.

This process of healing is on-going--none are completely healed at present. And when they are healthy enough--they are sent from the hospital below--to paradise above! Every patient who is healed--is provided with a mansion above, and has a title to the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. There the inhabitants shall no more say, "I am sick," and the people who dwell there are forgiven their iniquities!

All His patients feel and manifest the symptoms of returning health--which are love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, meekness, goodness, faith, etc. But none of them rest satisfied with any symptoms; they all visit His office frequently, asking Him to complete the cure. And such is His love, kindness, and grace--that He assures all those who have a good work begun in them--that He will complete it in the day of His glorious appearing. We have published Timothy Shay Arthur's encouraging 3 page article, "Under a Cloud!"

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - At least two thirds of people with advanced cancer in a new survey believed the chemotherapy they're receiving might cure them, even though the treatment is only being given to buy some time or make them comfortable.

http://news.yahoo.com/cancer-patients-hopes-chemo-too-high-210716403.html

Addition Dr. Morris:

            The greed involved in the "sick care" industry is beyond belief. Chemicals causing cancer and then chemotherapy or chemicals, to cure cancer. Radium causing cancer and then radium used to cure cancer. In America, old people spend $82 billion dollars a year on supplements-exercise equipment, and other things to improve their health. When cancer is diagnosed, as it is with 1/3 of the population, instead of prayer and supplements, medical experimentation. After the body has been sufficiently poisoned with chemicals and other oncological therapies, supplements will be useless. Then, the plea for prayer goes out. Prayer for healing should be a daily privilege. Just as prayer to keep one from temptation should be a daily requirement. "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen" (Matthew 6:9). This writer is convinced that the body has the remarkable ability to heal itself, that there is already everything on earth needed for healing (Genesis 1:29).

            The trouble is, as with everything else, indoctrination into the practice of trotting to the doctor for everything (education has become a matter of indoctrination). After all, insurance-welfare is going to pay for it. We have learned that Andy Rooney, television personality, age 92, retired, planning a cruise with his wife, was talked into entering the hospital for a colonoscopy....gut perforation, death. Neal Armstrong (82), astronaut, good health, elective cardiac procedure, death. Old people especially, will learn to let "well enough" alone, become educated about diet, rest, exercise, and staying away from doctors waiting rooms-hospitals-nursing homes. "Well, he/she was old, worn out, ready to die anyway." This is the usual retort for a relative, associate, friend, still alive. And, remember, old folks are so much trouble and most of their money is spent for care, during the last years of their life.

            There are many books about preventing cancer, geriatric living. Everyone is heading in that direction. The mortality rate is still 100% and no one, young or old, promised one more day-minute. "People die everyday who have never died before."

The Crux of Any Matrix

The Crux of Any Matrix

"We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away"

"Slip Sliding Away"- Simon and Garfunkel

            We hear the term, "the crux of any matter." More important in this age of the helix nanotechnology chip, electrical and radiology physics, which we can not understand but has become such an integral part of living. In the lifetime of this writer, children taken to a building calling a telephone in another building just a short distance away, simply because they had never used a telephone. In the community where I was reared, just one telephone for miles, radios-more static interference than information. Then came television, every house with an antenna on its top (houses without inside plumbing, telephones, A.C systems, but all with a television). This was the beginning of the decline...politically, morally, spiritually. Every Satanic meanness in the world, an idol to which you bow down-kept tune-as many hours as regulators allowed. Most young people have never seen the NBC Peacock which came on at the end of the day. Today, the world taken over by the cell phones-texting. You see, we are all prisoners, one way or another and do not realize it. Oh, the psychologists think they can explain it, there is nothing to explain. The crux of the matter, it all started in the garden with the first couple, Adam and Eve.

            Most of us, prisoners of other things, addictions. Addictions to the synthetics of taste or sexuality. I heard my grandfather say that when he was a boy, if he saw a girls ankle's (they are wore long skirts) he thought he had really seen something. In my lifetime, women with dresses to the ankles, a broach or a pin holding the bodice (upper part of the dress)together right at the throat...bonnets and hats, veils (I still remember Ms. Eleanor Roosevelt with her black hat and black veil at FDR's funeral). Movies, so carefully regulated (a bedroom scene, feet had to be on the floor), radios, no suggestive words. Of course everything was live, no film. If a mistake was made, everyone was aware of it. Pornography was the lingerie section of the Sears and Roebuck catalogue.  My mother, right on until the time I left for college, was still cooking in a wood burning stove. You built a fire in the stove to cook every meal. My grandmother's had to deal with no refrigeration. You put milk for the baby in a bucket and put the bucket in the well where the cold water kept the milk more or less unspoiled. This scientist-writer-doctor still haunted by sick children from food poisoning at the public school. It was just the grace of God that many did not die from eating spoiled food, simply because there was no refrigeration during the summertime. Most illness was a summertime thing and of course, activated charcoal, the cheapest simplest way to treat toxicity of any type of kept hidden from the world because the doctors and pharmacists could not make money off this. Even the monkeys on Pacific Islands, knew the value of charcoal from campfires. This writer is still haunted by people choking to death on food and many died from choking which we did not know about, simply because the Heimlich maneuver and other forms of choking relief were unknown.

            One of my doctor friends, well known military officer, practiced medicine in a thickly settled, rural area. Never married, he lived alone. This brilliant man died from a piece of steak in his throat...eating alone in his home. His back was bruised where he had beaten it, trying to dislodge the meat (Grantham, NC).

            The crux of the matter, so much changed, and our education system has refused to keep up with it. It has become a matter of excusing everything...no matter what..."let's just move on." We are prisoners of political correctness, popularity, psychological thinking. The psychologist, always liberal, always atheist, always approving and justifying anything. The words you hear from any psychologist, "And that is alright too." Show me your habits, the books you read, the music to which you listen, and I will tell you what type person you are.

            Creator God of the universe, most magnificent design, man, perfected everything with systems. There is nothing more amazing-awesome than the systems of neurology-physiology of the human body.

            Every study ("ology" means the study of), from anthropology-man to zoology-animal life (bacteriology-bacteria, psychology-mind, geology-rocks, archeology-old things, cytology-cells, microbiology-anything studied with microscope). Everything an educational adventure-endless activity of its own. Thousands of books on any subject, PhD degrees in any area of any subject. The ancients would be amazed at what has happened to their world, the knowledge which was always here, coming forth. "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth" (Hebrews 11:13). We stand on the shoulders of much better men and women who lived and died before us, never knowing the conveniences of modern day living but, they have something missing today-a faith to live by and die with, remarkable-spectacular in their lives ("Of whom the world was not worthy: they wandered in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth." Hebrews 11:38.

            The pivotal point, the point of reference for all world history, the cross on calavry, on which Jesus Christ was crucified, two rough boards, one vertical, one horizontal. The history of the world comes together horizontally at the cross. The hope of the world comes together vertically at the cross. Amazing and awesome, ancient Judaism, 613 laws to live by, the Christian world, everything combined in two, loving God and your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:38). Very important, particularly when people tend to judge one another, the knowledge that a bruised reed, God will not break (Matthew 12:20). In a world of imperfection, sickness, wounds and bruises, both physical and mental, we learn empathy-sympathy for the disabled-disillusioned-discouraged.

            The most encouraging words this writer ever hears, helped to the speakers stand, in a building, particularly a graduation, so many have said, "Your white cane is an inspiration to my life." This is the crux (cross) of any matter, any man...what you do when all goes wrong.

Life Spring

Life Spring

"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5).

            In the menagerie of world politics, the real perspective never considered, WHAT GOD CAN DO.

            The 5,000 year old Bible story takes on new significance when you consider that there was not one man in Egypt who believed that God had the power to change the life spring of Egypt, the Nile River, into blood, that light had come into the world (Isaiah 60:20), "In him was life; and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4).That the light of God had overcome the darkness of the world, was fact, not feeling. When, the chosen people, children of Israel, delivered from bondage in Egypt, saw the pillows of fire at night, had seen the Red Sea open so that 3 million could pass through on dry land, had seen Pharaoh and his 600 chariots, swallowed by the same sea, they should have known the power-light of God. The ancient civilization, from which all civilizations sprang, had known the flies, frogs, locusts, and other plagues on Egypt which had little effects on the Pharaoh's hardened heart. When will we learn that the God of glory, holiness, justice, can handle the hardened hearts of Obama, or even one of us if he is able to handle the Pharaoh of Egypt and his magicians?

            Even the Christian world does not want to believe in the power of an all righteous-omnipotent-omniscient-sovereign God. The Christian in that world, if real, has learned that the closer he gets to the heart of God, the greater the battle of holiness because Satan really wants you. It has always been the duty of each generation, blood-bought believers to hold back satanic influences. All God ever wanted in return is trust. When you read the marvelous writings of Apostle Peter, you understand redemption. "For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God" (1 Peter 4:17)? To the uninitiated, everything is obscure but it takes a real dumb human being not to fear God. "The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding" (Proverbs 9:10).

            A person must learn to deal with his own heart before he can deal with the hearts of others. Mother Theresa was 40 years of age before her heart could deal with the poverty-perversion of Calcutta, India. Prince of preachers, Charles H. Virgin, neurosis of stress, so honored that every one of his sermons were published, spent much time in recovery. Leader of the great awakening, Jonathan Edwards, fired from his prestigious Northampton, Massachusetts church, went as a missionary to the Housatonic Indians for 12 years, before becoming President of now, Princeton University, just before his death. Edward's greatest sermon, "Sinners in the hands of an angry God," preached to large crowds yet spoke on a 5th grade level to the Indians. Edwards friend's said he spent his entire life preparing to die.

            Like Pharaoh's magician's, today's proponents of "the one world order," the homosexual agenda would never believe that the wrath of God could extend to them. Members of the CIA, NEA, FDA, and all the others who live like king's off the hardworking, god fearing tax payers of America, would never be convinced that God is capable, in his wrath, against the killing of 53 million babies.

            There must be a discipline and regimentation of life. Every day-every minute is important...you can never recapture one. It is important to learn everyday. Like Dr. Smith Whithersby, this writer learned long ago to start out each day with a communion service, just me and God...a small piece of bread for healing, a sip of wine in remembrance of His forgiving. Most 21st century Christian's, almost as incapable as the unbeliever, want to live the committed life on their terms. They want a check-off list, can-do's and don't-do's....boy scout type badges for good works. Most can not believe that Jesus, the son of God, creator of the universe (John 1) would actually wash his disciples feet. They want a bellhop God, around when needed, He, honored that they would actually attend a worship service.

            The only chapter in The Bible that Jonathan Edwards ever preached each verse, love chapter, 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians. 50% of all seminary graduates never proceed with God's work. 1,700 preachers quit the ministry each month. "If gold rusts, what do you expect iron to do?"

            On a South Pacific Island, I met a famous artist (oils on canvas), who had retreated there to get away from the "Christian world." I purchased two of his paintings, nautical scenes. Confused and discouraged, knew the meltdown of his faith. His meltdown, like the meltdown of America, political, economic, moral, had not happened by chance. Satan is very clever, clever enough to persuade 1/3 of all the angels in Heaven to follow him. He was persuasive enough to cause the downfall of man; mankind choosing the spirit of death rather than the spirit of life. God had placed man, made in His image, into a perfect world. Only with the discipline and regimentation of observing his rights....the parameters of just one tree. Man was incapable, with his freedom of will, to keep one commandment...certainly not ten, certainly not 613. My South Pacific Island, artist friend, had sold paintings for a fortune..reared in poverty, very much like this writer, could never understand the long suffering-justice of God. Like this writer, and we discussed the matter many times, he could understand how many children had died because of unsanitary conditions. Both nutrition entering the body and the elimination process...people simply not washing their hands. He knew about out houses, people lived hundreds of years without modern plumbing, even toilet paper (first used in 14th century by the Chinese).  We will never know how many people have died from unsanitary conditions pertaining to their own body, the unsanitary conditions brought on by others. Remember, surgeons did not wash their hands until the Civil War.

            One man, God-man, 12 ignorant fisherman followers (Acts 4:13), boldness, persistence, then, a few hundred, then a few thousand, now, millions around the world and a remnant still remain faithful.   "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not (1 John 3:1).
