Theocentric Musings

Not even going back to 1996 and his speech then which was pretty close to the speech he just gave almost 2 decades later (look it up if you need a refreshing of your memory), here is his great "wisdom" from 2002. I wonder if at that time the "Holy Spirit" was speaking through him as many in American Christianity™ claim happened this time: In any event, let’s all once again recall the Israeli Prime Minister’s wisdom on Iraq: On why invading Iraq — instead of pursuing Al Qaeda — was the top priority: "I think the first question is, do you want to merely avenge September 11th or do you want to win the war on terror? If you want to stop with September 11th, go after al Qaeda." "…[T]here is no international terrorism of any kind — al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, you name them, all of them — there is no international terrorism if you take away the support of sovereign states. And the sovereign states are few. If you want to win this wa...

It's interesting how "pro life" Christians are, except when it comes to Arabs or Muslims.  You can't abort a fetus, but you can bomb pregnant Arab or Muslim women and kill their children to your hearts content in the name of a "holy war."  Like war is "holy," you dolt.  Makes perfect sense. Maybe that's why the world thinks that the Christian "religion" is full of crap.  "Christians" have dec ided which lives are worthwhile and which are worthless, but don't let anyone else make that decision, not even God who has said all life is in His image. Maybe they can learn some lessons from Israel to use on abortion clinics, they can absolve themselves of people's deaths in them by bombing them and claiming "human shields."

I find is so disturbing that many Christians their faith and their salvation is found not in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but in Father, Son, Spirit, Bible, Israel. When did we become a people that worshipped idols? Are we really like the Israelites worshipping a golden calf or 2 or 3? The Bible points to Jesus as Savior, the Bible is not however your Savior. Israel is a people tha t God loves, Israel is not however your God. To belittle the majesty and splendor of God by forcing Him into a box, or a book, or claiming that not to show reverence and worship as demigods a people who choose to deny His place as Messiah means you are against God is absolutely, factually, scripturally, and indisputably codswallop. And then to actually denigrate and slander those who love Christ, and Christ alone as Savior, and choose not to engage in idolatry of any sort, is disgusting and such anti-Christ behavior.

People keep sharing that if Arabs put down their weapons they would have peace with Israel, but if Israel put down its weapons there would be no Israel. How quickly people forget AD70. Those who dropped their weapons and fled for the hills per Jesus' advice all lived, from the oldest to the youngest. These survivors all dropped their weapons. They did the opposite of what many Christians think people should do in that circumstance. Those who didn't listen to Jesus' words, who behaved as many Christians think they should, who didn't trust His ways as the best ways, and didn't accept Him as the Messiah because He didn't conquer His enemies through war, ended up waging war and they picked up their swords and were all killed and thrown into Gehenna. They say history repeats itself, let's hope it's not true. But if you live be the sword you will eventually die by the sword. One person has to drop the sword first, because they want to not because t...

With the perceived worship of "God's chosen people" Israel, with the supporting of "taking up swords", with the way that mainstream Christianity unfortunately has ingrained themselves into world political parties, how we are being taught to excuse, justify, and endorse wars and killings, and with the every day attacks on those in authority in this country, I thought today would be a perfect day to study the Bible. Would you care to join me? I sure hope so, do you have your bible nearby, or a bible app on your phone? I'll give you a couple minutes to get it loaded up. Ok, here we go, friends. Let us open to 1 Peter 2, and begin with verse 4, I am reading out of the New American Standard Bible (NASB), but you are welcome to use your favorite translation. Ready? Ok, read along with me... And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up ...
