The True Meaning of Genesis 12:3
The Real Truth about the Meaning of Genesis 12:3
(All Scripture references are taken from the NLT unless otherwise specified)
Genesis 12:3 says: "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
As we see in verse 1, the Lord is specifically speaking to Abraham, who is the father of all of the faithful on the earth.
This seems to present a serious problem to many today who seem to presume that Abraham is only related to the unbelieving modern nation of "Israel", and has little or nothing to do with the followers of Jesus Christ. Nothing could be further from the truth, and, if we would allow the sacred Scriptures to interpret themselves in the inspired, godly way over the way of those who insist on rebelling against God and His Christ, we would start to draw ourselves into the Scripture truths over the destructive lies and fantasies that have so taken us over the cliff and on into the trash heap of history. If we don't repent, and really start taking the Christian faith seriously, that is exactly where we are going to end up, and much sooner than later. My, how we love to dither while America burns down! What fun it is to go right along, and down the rabbit hole and its descent into total darkness.
If, perchance we would start to take the whole Bible seriously, and allow it to clarify truth and interpret itself, we would quickly discover how and why we have gone astray from the real Gospel truth, and have entered our modern dark age.
Certainly, God never intended for the Christians to support and align themselves against God's Christ and his truths with any unbelievers, no matter what the supposed or concocted pretext! By your inattentiveness to these important and critical matters, you blaspheme God. God's heavy hand of judgment awaits people who so wholeheartedly engage in such evil endeavors, and willfully thwart such important truth! Is this not what you are doing, and so misleading many others who look to you for far better things? Listen to the truth, and repent! Already, is not God's protective hand being removed from this now straying and unrepentant nation? Is there truly a real "Bible belt" in America, or is the phrase but a catch all for all of the modern apostate isms that now infest our once straight nation? It is time for a wake-up call for the church to start serving the one royal Master alone, our Lord Jesus Christ, and discontinue their subservience to all those who oppose Him still!
Abraham is certainly not the father of the unbelieving Jews and nation, and never was. But he is the father of all who are in Jesus Christ, and always were, as the Scriptures declare. Read all about it in the New Testament. Here are some samples from God's truth.
Galatians 3:6-9 tells us: "In the same way, 'Abraham believed God, so God declared him righteous because of his faith.' The real children of Abraham, then, are all those who put their faith in God.
What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would accept the Gentiles, too, on the basis of their faith. God promised this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, 'All nations will be blessed through you.' And so it is: All who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith."
Gal.3:25-29 -- "So you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have been made like him. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians—you are one in Christ Jesus. And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and now all the promises God gave to him belong to you." (see Rom. 10:4) (Note: There is no mention of unbelieving Israel here, but of believers only!)
Paul, in speaking to the brethren in Christ, says at Gal. 6:15-16: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." (KJV) The New Living Translation further clarifies this "Israel of God" as "the new people of God." The full context clarifies believers here, not unbelievers!
Jesus, speaking with the Roman officer: (Mt. 8:10-12)
"When Jesus heard this (see Mt. 8) he was amazed. Turning to the crowd, he said, 'I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all the land of Israel. And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be cast into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Re. the faith of Abraham, see Rom. 4. See also Hebrews 2:16, 6:13, ch 7, 11:11-16 and all of ch. 11.
In Eph. 1:13 and 23 we read: "And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God." (See Rom. 8:14 & 28-30)
Further confirmation that believers are the new people of God can be found at the following:
Luke 12:31-32 -- "'He will give you all you need from day to day if you make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.'"
James 1:17-18 -- "Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven's lights. Unlike them, he never changes or casts shifting shadows. In his goodness he chose to make us his own children by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his choice possession." (See also John 1:13)
Re. Christ's conversation with old Israel's religious leaders, which was prior to Jerusalem's destruction in 70 ad, we read:
Matt. 21:42-44: ""Then Jesus asked them, 'Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures? "The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous to see."
What I mean is that the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit. Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.""
It very much seems today that this is indeed the case. The ungodly and unbelieving nation of modern Israel gets all the preferences by the modern unbelieving church, that is badly stumbling at the truth, and it will indeed be crushed all to pieces, which is what it deserves, because it has forsaken God, his Word, and his truth, except it repents!
The modern, faithless and unbelieving church, apostate to the very core, installs those whom Luke calls "stubborn", "heathen at heart and deaf to the truth", "who resist the Holy Spirit" on a high pedestal and chief cornerstone throughout all of history! Luke goes on to say, "But your ancestors did, and so do you. Name one prophet your ancestors didn't persecute! They even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous one—The Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered. You deliberately disobeyed God's law, though you received it from the hands of angels." (See all of Acts 7:51-53. Note also Acts 3:12-15 and Luke 11:50-54.)
I Pet. 2:4-10 -- "Come to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God's temple. He was rejected by the people, but he is precious to God who chose him.
And now God is building you, as living stones, into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are God's holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices that please him because of Jesus Christ. As the Scriptures express it,
'I am placing a stone in Jerusalem, a chosen cornerstone, and anyone who believes in him will never be disappointed.' (Phil. 4:18)
Yes, he is very precious to you who believe. But for those who reject him, 'The stone that was rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone.'
And the Scriptures also say, 'He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that will make them fall.'
They stumble because they do not listen to God's word or obey it, and so they meet the fate that has been planned for them.
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are a kingdom of priests, God's holy nation, his very own possession. This is so you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
'Once you were not a people; now you are the people of God. Once you received none of God's mercy; now you have received his mercy.'
I Cor. 1:2 -- "We are writing to the church of God in Corinth, you who have been called by God to be his own holy people…"
Eph. 1:4-5 -- "Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure."
Nor was his plan of the ages left unfinished as you in the modern church now assume in your ignorance and blindness. The Scriptures affirm that Christ completed everything that God the Father sent Him here to do. It is far better and more blessed to take special note of the following:
John 4:34 -- In response to his disciples questions to Jesus (vv. 31-33) "Then Jesus explained: 'My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work."
John 17:4-5 -- "I brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you told me to do. And now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began."
John 19:30 -- "When Jesus had tasted it, he said, 'It is finished!' Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
Dare any reasonable person among us continue to assume that Christ failed in any element of the work of our salvation, or left something vital undone out of it that the unbelieving Jews couldn't accept, along with the other heathen who decide against Him and the great work of salvation that He planned from the very beginning on our behalf? (See Mt. 25:34.)
From all of these Scriptures, and the great testimony of all of the remainder which backs them up, we should realize just how totally wrong it is to support the modern state of Israel in its rebellious unbelief. Furthermore, we should recognize just how totally wrong it is to team up with the faithless nation whose sole purpose and desire is to continue to reject Christ still, and to erect yet another earthly temple and animal sacrificial system in Christ's place. Such Scriptures as II Cor. 6:14-18, Eph. 5:11, Rom. 13:12, II Th. 2:3, I Tim.4:1-3, and II John 7-10 give us much better insights. Those who do obeisance and honor to such heretical and even blasphemous ideas do clearly demonstrate just how deficient they are in their understanding of God's complete and finished work of salvation, as the Holy Spirit bears witness with God's Word of revealed truth. And then, finally, with our spirits also, as the truth is confirmed to us in great peace and joy unspeakable and full of God's great glory from his majestic throne on high. (See also Luke 11:33-36.) For in these wonderful truths, there is no deficiency or matter left unattended to await any future fulfillment, but that glorious and majestic completion that is powerful to establish our course on God's higher plane to victory in Him who suffered and died in our place, that we might indeed glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
In conclusion, I would have to say that to just rely solely on Gen. 12:3 with today's flawed set of presumptions and superficial misconceptions, and to seek no further light and insight in the Scriptures is to engage in extremely seriously reckless and dangerous thinking. Indeed, to cling solely to just this one Scripture, and even then, to misconstrue its real meaning so that it supports and honors unbelievers, is absurd and ludicrous in every conceivable way. It is filled with the kind of human folly that is so altogether reminiscent of the Scripture warning of the blind leaders (Mt. 15:14) and their indifferent followers of this present world who fall into the ditch, and are so far gone as to never even realize it. To such people, who insist on clinging to such dark reasonings, it cannot be overemphasized that they desperately need to pray and to study all the more to show themselves approved unto God as more worthy workmen who need not to be ashamed and are happy and willing to rightly divide the Word of truth (II Tim. 2:15) even over the deluded errors of the day, if indeed, they are truly called and chosen of God. For the entire matter could not be more pressing and serious! For Genesis 12:3 supports God's real children, who are believers in Christ, the Messiah whom Abraham served. Those who bless them will be blessed of God. But those who bless unbelievers will be cursed. Are we not seeing that in our nation today?

Jew and Gentile -- pp. 73-74. Equal, and wall of separation removed -- p.74, #10. Acts 10:34-35 -- there are no favorites with God.

Our Lord Jesus says of them, in Matt. 23:15: "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves, and you won't let others enter either." (see through v. 39*. Also, I Th. 2:14-16.)
It is most fitting here to mention how still even today, the above Scripture is being played out in the Jewish religious books. They remove all prophetic references to the coming of Christ 2000 years ago. In this way, they perpetrate a lie and "shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces"… They refuse to entertain any questions to the truth by removing the truth. Such evils remain overlooked by many modern "Christians", who naively live out a lie against Christ, and support the Jews in their wicked ways against Him instead.

A Critical Warning: From Ignorence to Captivity
Here we are, finally, at the start of another new year! But just how new will the rest of your life be? Most likely, it will end up being more of the same old ideas and mistakes. Because when it comes to change, people can't adjust themselves to anything connected with it, no matter how good it really is.
The Holy Bible speaks about change in the following terms: a new creation in Christ (II Cor.5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph.2:15, 4:24; Col. 3:10), being born again (Jn. 3:3-8), all things made new (II Cor. 5:17; Heb. 10:20-23), a new name (Rev. 2:17, 3:12), a new song (Rev. 14:3), a new and better covenant (I Cor. 11:25; Heb. 8:6, 13), a new and living way (Heb. 10:20), the new and life-giving way (Heb. 7:19, 22, 8:6), the new way of the Spirit (Ro. 7:6; Gal. 5:1), a new doctrine (Mark 1:27; Acts 17:19), a new commandment (Jo. 13:34), a new lump (I Cor. 5:7), a new life (II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 3:21; Heb. 7:22), the new Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2), all things made new (II Cor. 5:17; Heb. 10:20-23; Rev. 21:5), the new people of God (Lu. 12:31-32; Eph. 1:13, 23; Jas. 1:17-18, Ro. 8:14, 20-30).
Clearly God is the expert at makeovers, but only for those who are indeed truly interested in Christ and actually serious about Him. If you love Christ with all your heart, and soul, and mind (Mt. 7:14), and if you trust Him and His Spirit to help you to be made over, then you may indeed experience rebirth from on high. But "all those who do not love the Lord Jesus are cursed" (I Cor. 16:22). So, actually, how much made over are you? And, actually, which kind of a person are you? Isn't it high time for a truer evaluation of your own self?
Perhaps you are one of those Americans who desired and voted for change in the last election. Perhaps you wanted to see America restored to its original foundations. Yet without a real restoration of America's original foundations, built on actual and real Biblical truths and principles, you will still end up with a crumbling nation. To put it another way, you are still wasting your time without God and His truths in your life. God does not honor hypocrisy (Mt. 23:28; I Tim. 4:2)!
Perhaps you long for a better life. Pray tell, where on earth do you ever expect to find that without Christ and the protective boundaries of His New Covenant? Today's America and Americans, and many Christians, couldn't be further removed from that important "straight and narrow way" (Mt. 7:14). Today they seem to prefer the broad way that leads to destruction (Mt. 7:13-14; I Jo. 2:26), and care not to become any the wiser, for they have been rigorously trained in it. So, your hopes are in vain, built upon a shaky foundation of shifting winds of false doctrines, heresies, apostasy (Eph. 4:14; Ro. 16:17; Col 2:4; II Jo. 10-11; III Jo. 11), strong delusion (II Th. 2:7-12), and your well-loved lies ((Ro. 1:25; II Th. 2:11; Jas. 3:14, I Jo. 2:21; Rev. 21:27, 22:15) far removed from the protection of Christ's New Covenant and its boundaries. How can you claim to be in Christ and His Covenant while running all around the outside of all of its protective boundaries, happily chasing after humanist-centered lies? Clearly, you are not in His New Covenant at all if you care not a whit for it, and you are still totally clueless and deceived. And this is bad. You have been indoctrinated, from the inside out, to follow evils. You think that you can get away with short ending God and leave Him and His Covenant out of your agenda, you stand in the crosshairs of judgment.
You are now in captivity because of your ignorance of many of God's truths, and well you deserve to be if you willfully choose such a lowly course of conduct. If you care little about honoring God and His straight, narrow ways in your thoughts and your ways, then you will always remain in captivity to Satan and thoughts that serve him and his reprobate purposes. It's time for a thorough reality check, fellow American "Christian"! Wake up! It is far later than you think! You are running out of time to get it right! The day is well spent, and the night is descending on you and on your deceived nation. Enlighten yourself, America! To everything there is a season (Eccles. 3:1). America's ideals depend on the kind of person that you are, or are not.

It's time for a thorough reality check, fellow American "Christian"! Wake up! It is far later than you think! You are running out of time to get it right! The day is well spent, and the night is descending on you and on your deceived nation. Enlighten yourself, America! To everything there is a season (Eccles. 3:1). America's ideals depend on the kind of person that you are, or are not.

The Future is Now!
'Twas the Eve before Destruction
By Government Propaganda.com 12/14/04

'Twas the eve before destruction, when all through the land
Not a creature was stirring, under homeland securities hand;
The alarm systems enabled by families with care,
In hopes that the fed's wouldn't come around there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of camps and jack-booted thugs danced in their heads;
And mamma with her shootin iron, and I with my sword,
Had just changed shifts at watching the door,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Showed up fleeting dark objects scurrying below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature tank, and federal agents eager to commandeer,
Around in a circle they watched through night vision,
Pointing their weaponry excited to accomplish their mission,
With a leader in black, and a ski mask for his head,
I knew in a moment we might all soon be dead.
More crafty than serpents the minions they came,
And he raced, and he signaled, and he called them by name;
"Now, East! now, West! now, Rear and Front Flank!
Establish your positions and bring me that tank!
You! to the top of the porch! and You on that wall!
Now bring me that flamethrower and you'd better not stall!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
Set in motion by the helicopter up in the sky,
So down on the house-top did the bright spotlight shine,
Sending a shiver and a chill down my spine.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The scuffing and tapping of each little boot.
As I drew up my sword, and was turning around,
Down came the door as it smashed to the ground.
He was dressed all in Kevlar, and big as a tree,
And his clothes were all bloodied from his last killing spree;
A cache of weapons he had flung on his back,
And he drew out an Uzi from his back pack.
His eyes glowed red as he peered through the dwelling,
And his voice was gravely as he began yelling!
And for a moment I thought I did see,
The head of a goat as looked around for me;
Two stumps protruded from the top of his head,
And a little red glow emitted from the walking dead;
He had a red face so cold and so mean,
But in place of a pitchfork was an M-16.
He scanned the whole room, as he slowly turned his big head,
And I shuddered when I saw him, as we dove under the bed;
He singled us out and pointed at me, And turned to his minions,
And shouted, grab them and get them, before they can flee!
He spoke not a word, as they hogtied us all,
And out of the room we were dragged through the hall,
The night could not pass without any bloodshed,
He stopped in the kitchen and leveled his gun,
And shot our poor dog while she cowered in her bed;
Out into the cold he dragged us through the snow,
And into a van he threw us, where he would take us, we could not know.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Tell homeland security we've finished the fight!"
Freedom or Tyranny! It is your choice today, and one day you WILL have to choose! Educate yourself NOW!
The day has arrived for you to make your fateful choice. The future of the Republic hangs in the balance! Do you just go along with the fascist totalitarian plans for America, or will you break with the current agenda and support the Constitution? Decide this day whom you will serve!

The Master's Covenant
"Show me your ways, O Lord; Teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation; On you I wait all the day." (Psalm 25:4-5.)
"...The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His Covenant." (Psalm 25:14.)
What the Psalmist is speaking about here is the everlasting Covenant of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. I'm sure he was aware of it's existence and it's saving power in the coming Messiah. It is the one and the same Covenant that runs all throughout sacred Scripture, from Genesis, in the Protevangelian, through the Revelation. It is the high message of God to believers everywhere. In it is God's straight and narrow way, the only way sanctionned and blessed by God. To find it and honor it is to bring God up close and personal to us for today and for always. To find it is to find life more abundantly. God draws close to us as we search out his ways in what He has shown us in His New Covenant. I have already found it and have written a book that can expedite your finding of this way of miracles God has set down in place from before the foundations of the world were laid. Go today to Amazon.com and grab up your copy of There Is A Kingdom, by Anita Whalley. It will open up a whole new world of discovery, a doorway that you never knew was there. You will be most richly blessed in following His straight and narrow way to victory.

Are We On God's Side Today?
Are We On God's Side Today?
The title is a very serious question indeed, but especially so for those who call themselves Christians today.
So how does a Christian discern the reality of just where he stands, or whose side he is actually on? We see so-called compelling evidence offered to support many theories today, but where can we actually go to find the real, saving truth?
One sign that is very much with us today is the actual existence of the modern state of Israel in the Middle East. Other signs are catastrophic occurrences throughout the world, far too numerous to mention here. We also cannot help but observe the warfare of militant Islam against America and Israel, because of our foreign policy that supports and favors Israel in all of its goals, essentially. We morally support it, and we materially support it with our very hefty financial support using billions of U. S. taxpayer dollars. Apparently, America loves Israel above all other nations on the planet, it seems even above herself! And it fears Islam, as being antagonistic and militant against its current policies, as has been very apparent by its opposition to the building of a mosque near ground zero. And recently a minister in Florida wanted to set aside a Saturday night to hold a burning event for the Quran. Well, do the sacred Scriptures offer us any deeper insights into the current situation, along with any way through? Where is the sure guidance that we need to take us through such a dangerous minefield as now exists?
If we are wise, we would do well to look beyond all of the external signs and signals to the infallible Word of God itself as contained in the Holy Bible. It is there that real truth is spoken, and not in the words of mere men who think they know, but who really don't know, and but continually lead the nation down a rat hole. It is there, in the sacred Word itself, where the real answers are, and have always been.
Today we hear much from men who claim to know all about Antichrist. But what do the Scriptures have to say about him? Let's take a good look.
Any serious Christian who has a concordance can look up references to him in there. They can be found at I Jo. 2:18, 19 4:1-6, 5:1, 5, and II Jo. 7-10.
So, what do all of these verses tell us about him? Let's see, I Jo. 2:18 tells us that many "antichrists" were already in the world in John's day. I Jo. 4:1-6 reveals to us that the spirit of Antichrist is one which "does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh" (v. 3). Further, such Antichrist spirits are "of the world" (v. 5). In II Jo. 7 he tells us that "a deceiver and an antichrist" is one who does "not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh." So he repeats this very important point, to further emphasize it. Then, words of warning are given for the believers in Christ to abide "in the doctrine of Christ" (v. 9), and not to greet others who do not believe in Christ, lest they share in their "evil deeds" (v. 11). In other words, believers are not to get bogged down with unbelievers. The Gospel of Christ is on the line here, and is far more important than forming relationships and alliances with those who reject Christ.
Wow, doesn't this shed much needed light on the subject of "Antichrist"? Yet, today, the Apostle's words are rejected by modern evangelicals and premillenarians in favor of a different consensus altogether. Today's interpretation of Antichrist sites those nasty, contentious Gentile nations who supposedly will go to war against unbelieving Israel when it reinstates the temple at Jerusalem and another system of animal sacrifices set up in place of Christ, God's Savior who is still rejected by the nation. Today's interpretation says that Christ will return and go to war against these Gentile nations who reject modern Israel's project set up in place of the Savior Himself. Today's interpretation says that such unbelievers are still his chosen people, and not believers, contrary to the actual words of Scripture! (better check out I Cor. 1:2, 15:2; Gal. 6:16; Eph. 1:4,14; Jas. 1:17-18, just for starters!) Today's interpretation says that there is no "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9, 3:8-13), but only the unbelieving Jews who must always remain the special chosen people of God, contrary to the actual words of Scripture.
It appears that many modern American Christians who have casually and blithely accepted the fables of men and have rejected the actual words of sacred Scripture are justifiably afraid of what may be coming their way, except they repent. Is it that some still small voice within them tells them that they are indeed not on God's side, but on Antichrist's side instead? Is it indeed that they are beginning to realize that they have not done their rightful homework in his Word, but have instead followed the winsome, high sounding words of deceivers?
The days of superficial Christians and Christianity are drawing down to a day of calamity for the apostate nation and its "Christians". It is long overdue time for all real Christians to get seriously busy with God and his Word of truth, and to go deeper in with God than they have currently done. Modern Christians want God to be on their side, and presume that He is, but how can they be on his side when they believe far more in antichrist than they do in Christ? Thus they become disturbed and fearful when some other power threatens their strange beliefs. Will they ever decide that they need to get down to real business with God, or do they just feel that they are far too occupied with other things that they consider more desirable and important?
The command of Christ has never been for Christians to take upon themselves the goals and the agenda of unbelievers, no matter how high sounding these ideas appear. The command of Christ has been to evangelize this world, or lead people to Himself as Savior and Lord. Nor have Christians ever been commanded to get mired down in other terms of warfare against them. Instead, we are to be instant in season and out of season to give a true witness for Christ and the truth in Christ! We are to be salt and light for Jesus! To engage in other projects, such as book burnings, or the denial of their place of worship, falls far short of our higher calling in Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is far more capable of winning over the pagans, if only those who call themselves Christians would be faithful and follow its commands. But we have taken a serious deviation today away from it into that forbidden area of supporting unbelievers who reject Him on one side, but who have their own agenda for their salvation, just as they did in Paul's day. The whole key to wisdom and understanding is the full realization that the Christ of God has already come in history, and has finished everything to the fullest satisfaction of God and our human need for salvation, for both Jew and Gentile. Our spiritual void is entirely satisfied in Him. To tamper with this reality in any way is to destroy what He has already accomplished on all of our behalfs.
There simply are no other legitimate agendas connected to God or his will. It behooves us to reckon with this completely without any shadow of turning back to the things of this world and their agenda that is separate from Him. To do what many in the church today have done, to go back to supporting unbelieving Judaism, and some future earthly kingdom under whatever unscriptural pretext, has done great damage to the Gospel of Jesus, and it makes them a supporter and partaker with their antichrist rejection of Jesus. It makes them a supporter and partaker with evil. Their futurizing of much of prophecy that has already been fulfilled in history has led them into the crooked way that they are now embarked on today. Indeed, they have now become the slaves of antichrist unbelievers in the modern state of Israel. They have exchanged the truth for the lie (Ro. 1:25) that Satan gladly uses to destroy the one true faith. Indeed, they have become Satan's minions! They have become entangled now with a forbidden yoke of bondage (Gal. 5:1) with and for unbelievers. And so they are misguided and fearful, because they have strayed far away from the Gospel light. They are indeed not on God's side at all! They are deeply mired down in apostasy. To continue on their current destructive course will bring God's harshest judgment, and America will be lost forever. Their misguided and confused gospel of mixed messages and signals has strengthened the hands of unbelieving men in our government and elsewhere who have gladly sold our once great Christian nation out to unbelievers. We have gone from a once free nation to a slave state that is in bondage to those who reject and hate Christ. Our legacy throughout history will be the most easily duped generation in all of history. For we had the written Word of God readily available to us. We had the great documents of freedom within easy reach. And we let all of them slip away from us as of little or no importance or consequence whatsoever! We had Christian and patriotic voices of warning raised, and we ignored the truth on every side. What a foolish and deluded generation and nation, long overdue and ripe for God's hand of harshest judgment raised against it!

Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. William Penn.
It is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right. Dr. Bob Jones, Chapel Sayings (CS)
If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the Bible. Calvin Coolidge.
There is no tragedy as tragic as combining high mentality with low morality. CS. (Dr. Bob Jones)
If our religion is something objective, then we must never avert our eyes from those elements in it which seem puzzling or repellent; for it will be precisely the puzzling or the repellent which conceals what we do not yet know and need to know. C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory.
A man is a fool who leans on the arm of flesh when he can be supported by the arm of Omnipotence. CS.
Further Chapel Sayings from Dr. Bob Jones re. right vs. wrong:
The man who sincerely and unselfishly desires to know what's right doesn't have any trouble finding out what's right.
When there is a good, straight road to the right place, why go a roundabout way to get to that place?
The things you do that you ought not to do, you do because you don't do what you ought to do.
What you love and what you hate reveal what you are.
The two biggest little words in the English language are the two little words "do right".
Back of every tragedy in human character, there is a process of wicked thinking.
You can do anything you ought to do.
No doubt the trouble is with you.
Go as far as you can on the right road.
The right road always leads out at the right place.
You can't do wrong and get away with it.
The problem is basically theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence… It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Spoken by General Douglas MacArthur @ the surrender of Japan, Sept. 2, 1942.
The Prayer of George Washington:
Almighty God, who has given us this good heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endow with the spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be peace and justice at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail. Amen.

The things you do that you ought not to do, you do because you don't do what you ought to do.
What you love and what you hate reveal what you are.
The two biggest little words in the English language are the two little words "do right".
Back of every tragedy in human character, there is a process of wicked thinking.
You can do anything you ought to do.
No doubt the trouble is with you.
Go as far as you can on the right road.
The right road always leads out at the right place.
You can't do wrong and get away with it.
The problem is basically theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence… It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Spoken by General Douglas MacArthur @ the surrender of Japan, Sept. 2, 1942.
The Prayer of George Washington:
Almighty God, who has given us this good heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endow with the spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be peace and justice at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail. Amen.
