To Rule A Nation
February 18, 2007
The world is fast becoming saturated with evil. We hear of wars and rumours of wars, even impending world war. These stem mostly in Islamic countries, like Iraq and Iran, and atheist countries, like North Korea. The quest for nuclear weapons is growing.
In the western world, we already have nuclear weapons. The rest of the world is increasingly regarding us as a threat. Is there a way to dissuade them?
In the east people are dying from car bombs and suicide bombers. In the west women are committing abortion because men and women are not marrying before engaging in sexual relations.
There is much evil in the world and it is growing. The only defense against evil is righteousness. Righteousness is taught through religion, it is learned. There is such a thing as true religion and true righteousness. It is taught through the Bible and through the righteous. Make no mistake about it, false religion is evil. It is essential to man that he try to please God lest he ceases to live under God^s protection and dies.
I believe that we can have hope of God^s protection if we live by His laws but if we don^t we can expect to be trampled over by evil people. We are free to do whatever we find to do in this world but we will also have to live with the consequences of our decisions. The consequences of rejecting God and His ways will be devastating I assure you. The consequences of obeying God gives us hope, not only in this life but in life hereafter.
God is love, life, spirit and God cannot lie. We are to live in God^s spirit and God^s truth. Lies and deceptions have nothing to do with God, they are from Satan. As a nation and as individuals we can have hope if we do God^s commandments. Make no mistake about it this falls in complete opposition to murderous, bellicose Islam who would obliterate Israel and have a fictitious Allah create many wives for its murderers.
Because people misinterpret, misunderstand and misapply the Koran does not make it right. The same can be said for the writings of Karl Marx. There is no need to read these books, they don^t lead to life and peace.
Adversely, if people misinterpret, misunderstand, misquote and misapply the Bible it does not make the Bible wrong.
There is only one God. He is a God of righteousness. You can find out quite a bit about Him in the Bible, all you need to know. He is not a flippant God with different ways for different people. There is only one way to life, through Jesus Christ. There is much being said about the contents of the Bible but the only way to find out the truth is to read it for yourself. This will enable you to start a personal relationship with God in truth.
Salvation is from the Jews and for the Jews first. Jesus and His apostles were Jews. The Jews preserved the Bible. Salvation is also for the Christian western world, the lost ten tribes of Israel. And finally to all those who receive Christ. Some will only get there chance after the second resurrection when Christ will be known globally.
Jesus overcame the world and has set a way for us to follow. We need not fear. Among His ways are that we must be conscientious objectors when it comes to war. We must resist to our death as Jesus did, never lifting a finger against anyone only healing, blessing, rebuking and praying for them and even giving up His life for them. War is not necessary for life, it only destroys. What tree ever had to kill for its life? It just gently and persistently makes its way. That is the way of God and His creation as it should be.
God can intervene and stop evil in this world but He has to have a good reason to do so. If it is to save evil people there is very little incentive. If it is to save God fearing and God abiding people then there is incentive. Every one of you can make a difference in the destiny of the world and in your own personal destiny. The blessings that come from following God^s lead are beyond the imagination but the consequences of not going God^s way is death and perhaps a grueling death.
So be brave and choose life. Stand up to all opposition. Stand up for Jesus. The way to life is to defend the way of God onto death. Like for Jesus in His time, a resurrection awaits us.
A few ways that I see that we could improve the nation: get rid of all gambling establishments including lotteries and bingos, only allow pork to be grown for pet food, cease the harvesting of lobster, crab and shrimp. I would also not allow the construction of buildings for the purpose of worshipping false gods. These are efforts in living God^s way.
