Sheeple: Why You Should Feel Sorry For Them

It is often said there only two kinds of people in this world: those who know, and those who don’t. I would expand on this and say that there are actually three kinds of people: those who know, those who don’t know, and those who don’t care to know. Members of the last group are the kind of people I would characterize as “sheeple.”

Sheeple are members of a culture or society who are not necessarily oblivious to the reality of their surroundings; they may have been exposed to valuable truths on numerous occasions. However, when confronted with facts contrary to their conditioned viewpoint, they become aggressive and antagonistic in their behavior, seeking to dismiss and attack the truth by attacking the messenger and denying reason. Sheeple exist on both sides of America’s false political paradigm, and they exist in all social “classes”.  In fact, the “professional class” and the hierarchy of academia are rampant breeding grounds for sheeple; who I sometimes refer to as “intellectual idiots”.  Doctors and lawyers, scientists and politicians are all just as prone to the sheeple plague as anyone else; the only difference is that they have a bureaucratic apparatus behind them which gives them a false sense of importance.  All they have to do is tow the establishment line, and promote the establishment view.

Of course the common argument made by sheeple is that EVERYONE thinks everyone else is blind to the truth, which in their minds, somehow vindicates their behavior.  However, the characteristic that absolutely defines a sheeple is not necessarily a lack of knowledge, but an unwillingness to consider or embrace obvious logic or truth in order to protect their egos and biases from harm. A sheeple’s mindset is driven by self centered motives.

So-called mainstream media outlets go out of their way to reinforce this aggressive mindset by establishing the illusion that sheeple are the “majority” and that the majority perception (which has been constructed by the MSM) is the only correct perception.

Many liberty movement activists have noted recently that there has been a surge in media propaganda aimed at painting the survival,  preparedness and liberty cultures as “fringe,” “reactionary,” “extremist,” “conspiracy-minded,” etc. National Geographic’s television show “Doomsday Preppers” appears to have been designed specifically to seek out the worst possible representatives of the movement and parade their failings like a carnival sideshow. Rarely do they give focus to the logical arguments regarding why their subjects become preppers, nor do they normally choose subjects who can explain as much in a coherent manner.  This is a very similar tactic used by the establishment media at  large-scale protests; they generally attempt to interview the least-eloquent and easiest-to-ridicule person present and make that person a momentary mascot for the entire group and the philosophy they hold dear.

The goal is to give sheeple comfort that they are “normal” and that anyone who steps outside the bounds of the mainstream is “abnormal” and a welcome target for the collective.

It would appear that the life of a sheeple is a life of relative bliss. The whole of the establishment machine seems engineered to make them happy and the rest of us miserable. But is a sheeple’s existence the ideal? Are they actually happy in their ignorance? Are they truly safe within the confines of the system? Here are just a few reasons why you should feel sorry for them.

Sheeple Are Nothing Without The Collective

A sheeple gathers his entire identity from the group. He acts the way he believes the group wants him to act. He thinks the way he believes the group wants him to think.  All of his “ideas” are notions pre-approved by the mainstream.  All of his arguments and talking points are positions he heard from the media, or academia, and he has never formed an original opinion in his life.  Without the group telling him what to do, the average sheeple is lost and disoriented.  When cast into a crisis situation requiring individual initiative, he panics or becomes  apathetic, waiting for the system to come and save him rather than taking care of himself.  Sheeple are so dependent on others for every aspect of their personality and their survival that when faced with disaster, they are the most likely people to curl up and die.

Sheeple Crave Constant Approval From Others

Sheeple are not only reliant on the collective for their identity and their survival; they also need a steady supplement of approval from others in order to function day to day.  When a sheeple leaves his home, he is worried about how his appearance is perceived, how his attitude is perceived, how his lifestyle is perceived and how his opinions are perceived.  Everything he does from the moment his day begins revolves around ensuring that the collective approves of him. Even his acts of  “rebellion” are often merely approved forms of superficial “individualism” reliant on style rather than substance.  This approval becomes a kind of emotional drug to which the sheeple is addicted.  He will never make waves among the herd or stand out against any aspect of  the herd worldview, because their approval sustains and cements his very existence.  To take collective approval away from him would be like cutting off a heroin junky’s supplier.  To be shunned by the group would destroy him psychologically.

Sheeple Are Incapable Of Original Creativity

Because sheeple spend most of their waking moments trying to appease the collective, they rarely, if ever, have the energy or inclination to create something of their own.  Sheeple do not make astonishing works of art.  They do not achieve scientific discovery.  They do not make history through philosophical or ideological innovation. Instead, they regurgitate the words of others and hijack ideas from greater minds. They remain constant spectators in life, watching change from the bleachers, caught in the tides of time and tossed about like congealed satellites of Pacific Ocean garbage from the after-wash of Fukushima.  The destiny of the common sheeple is entirely determined by the outcome of wars and restorations waged by small groups of aware individuals — some of them good, some of them evil.

Sheeple Have No Passion

If you draw all of your beliefs from what the collective deems acceptable, then it is difficult, if not impossible, to become legitimately passionate about them.  Sheeple have little to no personal connection to their ideals or principles; so they become mutable, empty and uninspired.  They tend to turn toward cynicism as a way to compensate, making fun of everything, especially those who ARE  passionate about something.  The only ideal that they will fight for is the collective itself, because who they are is so intertwined with the survival of the system. To threaten the concept of the collective is to threaten the sheeple’s existence by extension.

Sheeple Are Useless

The average sheeple does not learn how to be self-reliant because it is considered “abnormal” by the mainstream to be self-reliant. The collective and the state are the provider. They are mother and father. Sheeple have full faith that the system will protect them from any and all harm.  When violence erupts, they cower and hide instead of defending themselves and others.  When large-scale catastrophe strikes, they either sit idle waiting for the state to save them or they join yet another irrational mob.  They do not take proactive measures, because  they never felt the need to learn how.

Consider this: Why do the mainstream and the people subject to it care if others prepare for disaster or end their dependency on the establishment?  Why are they so desperate to attack those of us who find our own path?  If the system is so effective and the collective so correct in its methodology, then individualists are hurting only themselves by walking away, right?  But for the sheeple, successfully self-reliant individuals become a constant reminder of their own inadequacies.  They feel that if they cannot survive without the system, NO ONE  can survive without the system; and they will make sure that individualists never prove otherwise. “You didn’t build that” becomes the sheeple motto, as they scratch and scrape like spoiled children, trying to dismantle the momentum of independent movements and ventures in non-participation.

Sheeple Are Easily Forgotten

To live a life of endless acceptance is to live a life of meaningless obscurity. When one arrives at his deathbed, does he want to reflect on all of his regrets or all of his accomplishments? Most of us would rather find joy than sadness when looking back over our past.  For sheeple, though, this will not be possible — for what have they ever done besides conform?  What will they have left behind except a world worse off than when they were born?  What will they have accomplished, but more pain and struggle for future generations?  In the end, what have  their lives really been worth?

I cannot imagine a torture more vicious and terrifying than to realize in the face of one’s final days that one wasted his entire life trying to please the plethora of idiots around him, instead of educating them and himself and molding tomorrow for the better.  I cannot imagine a punishment more severe than to spend the majority of one’s years as a slave without even knowing it.  I cannot imagine an existence more deserving of pity and remorse than that of the sheeple.

Is “christmas” Christian? – UPDATED – (VIDEO)

“Your CREATOR says: Do not imitate the ways of the pagans . . .

They cut down a tree and decorate it with silver and gold.”

(Jeremiah 10:2-4)

Thinking of “christmas” brings a lot of memories of eating, drinking, and material reward, yet to be quite honest, none of these remembrances of bliss and debauchery has to do with the birth of the Savior of the World.  The reason is simple.  “christmas” is not about Christ, and never has been.  It is a menagerie of ancient pagan customs that have been forcibly labeled as such, like the hammering of a square heathen peg into the round opening of a righteous church door.

If I put a swastika on a cross while I praise the Messiah,

does that make the swastika symbol Christian?

 “Come out from the unbelievers and be separate,

Says THE ETERNAL,

And do not touch pagan things . . .

Then I will receive you.”

(2nd Corinthians 6:17)

The Truth is in the Word.

Look at the word itself . . . “christmass“.  “Mass” means funeral or death, not birth.  Right from the start there is a lie.  Who is the Father of lies? . . . Satan.  The day is a celebration of Christ’s death not birth.  Who would be reveling in Christ’s death on the cross? . . . Satan and his followers . . . even though, unbeknownst to them at the time, Christ’s death was to be their later eternal undoing.  What people are unwittingly saying in the greeting “merry christmas” is “Happy Creator’s Death!“

“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

Yet, there is another who bears witness of me.”

(Two Witnesses, Father and Son, Together in One)

(John 5:31-32)

The above quote from the Messiah was in debate whether or not His testimony alone was worthy of acceptance as Truth, as the Divine Law states, “two or more witnesses” is required.  (Deuteronomy 17:6)

“Those on earth rejoicing at the Two Witnesses death,

making merry, and sending gifts to one another.”

(Revelation 11:10)

Many devout theologians of the book of Revelation agree that the “Two Witnesses” spoken of here (while they may also be proven later to be literal in the last days) are preeminently figurative, that of the Creator and the Son, or the Old and New Testament.  If the latter, and Christ is The Word (both old and new testament), then the “Two Witnesses” is also therefore a reference to Christ Himself.  Can you think of any other day of celebration best known universally for gift giving . . . and that because of a death (mass) of a righteous prophet other than “Christ-Mass” ?

If “christmas” were really about the Messiah, malls would have an actor dressed like Christ in the middle of them instead of “Santa Clause”.  There would be sheep instead of elves.  Children would sit on the Messiah’s lap and tell Christ what they wanted.  The beloved Savior would be at the end of the “Thanksgiving Day” parade, walking with a staff and lambs (representing the Word and the children of the Creator), instead of “Santa Clause” riding in a sleigh with presents (representing the competing allure of material self-gratification).  Who is “Santa Clause” anyway?  You guessed it.  The Savior’s competition and nemesis.  Who else?  Satan himself.

“Santa” riding a sleigh in the sky originated from the pagan god “Saturn” (the Death Angel; the Devil), celebrated for thousands of years as “Saturnalia“, a gift giving holiday at the end of December, which the Church of Rome “christianized” as “christ-mass“.  The pagan death-god Saturn also rode a chariot in the sky, had a long white beard, and was often depicted with a child on his lap . . . to eat them for dinner!  Scandinavians later adapted Saturn into “Odin” (Lucifer), the bearded god of war, death, intoxication, and seduction.  The Europeans adapted “Odin” into “Robin the Hobgoblin” (or Satan), who announced his dreaded arrival with the warning laugh of “Ho! Ho! Ho!”

(Old bearded Saturn-Satan-Santa Eating a baby)

Incredible isn’t it!  We willingly put (sacrifice) our children on the lap of Satan, bring pagan idols (trees), decorated with silver and gold, into our homes and church altars, where they become the center of attention and festivities . . . just like the pagans did 4000 years ago . . . and on the very same day . . . all the while we have the audacity to call it “christian“!

“When the Eternal your Creator drives out from before you the pagan nations which you go to possess, and you replace them and live in their land, beware that you do not follow or imitate their pagan customs or ways of worship, inquiring ‘How did they worship their false gods?  We will worship the true Creator likewise.’  You shall not worship the Eternal your Creator the same way the pagans worship their false deities.“

 (Deuteronomy 12:29-31)

If I asked my spouse if it would be okay with them to celebrate our anniversary on the same calendar day as my previous spouses’ anniversary, because I was accustomed to celebrating it on that day, what do you think their reaction would be?  Do we not realize that the same jealous feelings are felt by our heavenly Father and His Son?

“You have let go of the commands of The Creator . . .

So that you may take hold of your (pagan) traditions.“

(Mark 7:8)

To those who see the Truth in theses words of the Messiah to the degree to which they keep the Seventh Day Sabbath instead of the one instituted nearly four hundred years later by the Church of Rome, repeatedly saying from the altar of the Highest in a Sabbath keeping church during the last month of the year, “We know that Christ was not born in December, yet we are going to act like it anyway“, is no different than saying, “We know that the Sabbath is Saturday, yet we are going to worship on Sunday anyway.“

If we claim we are compromising with the world’s pagan customs in order to win people over to Christ, we will simply win over compromising people, and such will fill the church.  On the other hand, if we take an unpopular stand against the world’s pagan customs to righteously honor the Son with all possible purity, then will we likewise win over uncompromising people who are willing to take an unpopular stand against the world for the integrity of the Son, and this kind of believer will fill the Creator’s church.  Which of the two types of people would the Son prefer in His Church?

“Do not love the world or the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

(1st John 2:15)

The world’s revelrous, debaucherous, materialistic, and pagan “christmas” directly competes for focus with the Messiah, it does not enhance it.  As such, “christmas” brings a big smile to Satan’s face, and a sorrowful tear to the crucified Savior’s eye.  The Savior of the world was not born to instigate a commercial enterprise, nor to promote additional worldly debauchery, materialism, drunkenness, and competitive violence.

(“Black Friday”, the beginning of the “christmas” season) 

I was in Wal-mart last spring at “easter-time”.  I noticed symbols (idols) of rabbits and eggs everywhere, yet I did not see a single representation of the Messiah.  “Easter”, I discovered, was originally “Ishtar”, the pagan celebration of springtime sex, hence rabbits and eggs.  Get it?  What amazed me is that this tradition is more than 4000 years old (traced specifically to the fallen Nimrod, great-grandson of Noah; the conduit through which nearly all worldwide pagan “holiday” rituals began), and here we are doing the exact same thing, with bunnies and eggs, on the exact same day, 4000 years later!  Wow!  Nothing has changed in 4000 years!  The exact same pagan tradition has been passed on from parent to child all this time, only now we try to claim the exact same pagan rituals as “christian”.

Nimrod, after he died, was immediately deified by the pagans and worshiped as “Baal” (the “sun-god”), the number one direct competitor in the Old Testament for the affection and worship of the true Creator.  Nimrod’s wife Semiramis (also known as “Ashtoreth“), was the number two Old Testament competitor for the Father’s true worshipers.  After she died, she too was  deified, allegedly reborn at sunrise on the spring solstice out of a red egg laid by a menstruating rabbit .  Her reborn name was “Ishtar” (Easter).  To commemorate this, the pagans held a sunrise worship service at the beginning of spring (birth) and painted eggs red, from the blood they attained from the babies they had just sacrificed in their pagan ritual.  When we tell our children to paint their “easter” eggs, this IS where the “tradition” (pagan ritual) comes from.

“Cupid” was the nickname of Nimrod’s son Tammuz, who had sex with his mother Semiramis in another pagan ritual.  When you celebrate “St. Valentines Day” of alleged “romance”, it is that of incest between a mother and a son.  When Tammuz (Cupid) died prematurely, in the prime of life, this was commemorated for thousands of years on December 25th as a funeral mass (messiah–mass), at the beginning of winter (or death), by cutting down a tree, in its prime of life, making it an idol, and then decorating it with silver, gold, and lit candles, created from the fat of children sacrificed on their pagan alter.  This “holiday” later turned into “Saturnalia” which turned into “christmas“.

“Your CREATOR says: Do not imitate the ways of the pagans . . .

They cut down a tree and decorate it with silver and gold.”

(Jeremiah 10:2-4)

“The children of Israel did evil in the sight of  THE CREATOR . . .

They forsook the Father . . .

who had saved them from the pagans and their ways . . .

From BAAL and ASHTORETH.“

(Judges 2:11-13)

December 25^th is really the “Tammuz-mass” for the death of the son of Baal (the notorious, blood thirsty pagan god), not for the birth of the Divine Creator’s Son, the Messiah from Nazareth, whom all scholars agree was born in the fall, not the winter, during the Feast of Tabernacles.  Toward the end of the third century, when the Church of Rome wished to increase their attendance rolls (and thereby collections), they simply claimed to convert millions of pagans by sprinkling them in crowds of tens of thousands with “holy water”, never teaching them individually the Father’s true commandments, nor genuinely converting them by their proven repentance and baptism, all of which the new testament scriptures repeatedly insist upon for true conversion.

To graft these millions of pagans into the now fallen church, which quickly became a global financial and political enterprise, the corrupt church leaders adapted nearly all of their newly unconverted parishioner’s pagan rituals into the church as new “holidays” to compromisingly pacify them with pagan familiarity.  To claim that December 25^this what was spoken of in scripture as “Today in the town a David a Savior is born” (Luke 2:11) is comically blasphemous . . . if there is such a thing.

“Christmas”, “Easter”, “St. Valentine’s Day”, “St. Patrick’s Day”, “Halloween” . . . all came about after the Church of Rome became paganized in the third century.  None of these “holidays” were ever celebrated by the apostles, or the Savior, or any of their followers for the first three hundred years of the Savior’s church.  Why?  Because they knew better.  They knew they were 100% pagan rituals.  Do we now know better than the apostles did who personally walked with Christ?

“Christmas”, in fact, was outlawed numerous times in the past by Creator-fearing devout Christian governments, leaders like Oliver Cromwell, and the earliest Christian reformers, specifically because of its pagan origins and debaucherous customs of which we now study.  Not only was “christmas” outlawed by the Christian reformers in Europe, it was adamantly outlawed by the first Christian immigrant reformers in America as well, due to its lascivious revelry and rampant violence, just as there is today.  What a victory for Satan that we have since forgotten to shun this pagan enterprise as unholy!

Charles Spurgen, one of the most highly acclaimed pastors of all time by all denominations, said on December 24, 1871:

“We do not believe in ‘christmas’, rather we abhor it!

It is unscriptural and superstitious.

It’s authority is undivine.“

My wife is from a devout Christian “sister” church of the same denomination as the church we attend here in America, yet from one on an island nation that refuses to bring these ancient pagan idols into the Holy Sanctuary for these very reasons. Her congregation, being on a small isolated island, has had little outside influence to hinder the purity of the initial church planting more than a hundred years ago.  Here in America, because we all grew up in the middle of a most compromising nation, compromise became commonplace in the church.  So subtly and gradually have we become accustomed to compromise, that we don’t even perceive it anymore.  Here pagan “christmas trees” have appeared on the very sanctuary stage (altar) itself. Why, if they are undeniably, originally idols of Tammuz, son of Baal?

Even if a church were to not bring in pagan trees and wreaths, yet still falsely focused December’s attention on the birth of the Messiah as the rest of the lost world does, all the while knowing that the Savior was born in the fall during the Feast of Tabernacles and that the December dates are of pagan origin, they are still giving in to the ways of the pagan world, trying to make something unholy, holy, trying to please men rather than the Creator of men who said, “Do not worship Me as the pagans do.”

If I were a goat farmer who wore a shirt with a goat head in the middle of a pentagram, innocently thinking I was promoting my industry, and then someone pointed out to me that the very same symbol was used for devil worship, should I continue to wear it once I knew better saying, “Well . . . It doesn’t mean that to me” ?  The question should be, “What does it mean to The Creator?” Remember, the Eternal Father was there, and He does remember, even if we don’t.  He personally looked down upon the Baal child sacrifices.  He saw firsthand the child blood painted “Ishtar/easter”eggs.  He witnessed Himself the incestuous Tammuz-tree tradition, the very day it started.  We may not see the pagan connections in these things, nor care even if we do, yet I assure you He does!  Do we not think the Creator finds it odd to bring in these very same pagan rituals or symbols (idols) into His church . . . into His sanctuary . . . on the very same pagan calendar days . . . all the while calling it the worship of Him?

Are we more interested in pleasing traditions of people . . .

Or maintaining the purity One who Created us?

“The Creator forgave past sins of ignorance . . .

Yet now, in better knowledge, He commands us to repent.”

(Acts 17:30)

As you will see from the references at the end of this article, “Santa Clause”, the “christmas tree”, wreaths, holly, poinsettias, and many other “christmas” symbols (idols) come directly from pagan fertility rituals for the worship of false gods, which directly compete for, not compliment, our Creator’s and Savior’s attention, servitude, and affection, just as they do today.  It might be a different matter if the symbols were simply secular historically (non-religious) in their origin (like a turkey at “Thanksgiving”), yet because they are direct representations of identical ancient forms of pagan religious worship rituals of false gods, I think it is a much more serious matter than we may first believe, especially as we are doing the exact same rituals on the exact same days in a religious endeavor.

If we claim “christianity” as our title, then no doubt we see the world as a “fallen” place.  What makes it fallen?  The breaking of the Creator’s laws.  What are the most fundamental of the Creator’s laws?  The Ten Commandments.  What are the most fundamental of these commandments?  #1 “Have no other gods before me.”  #2 “Do not use idols.” . . . Hummm? . . . All the other commandments are being broken in the world today, so why not these? . . . Or have we perhaps forgotten the first two, mistakenly thinking they are somehow antiquated, not realizing that we are still breaking them today?

“You shall DESTROY what is pagan . . .

For I am JEALOUS for my creation’s affections.”

(Exodus 34:13-14)

If my spouse is jealous because I spend a lot of time talking to an attractive co-worker and I think they are overreacting, should I continue my behavior anyway, or rather care about what my beloved thinks and alter my actions accordingly?

Would I want at my wedding party even one old lover as a guest (or a picture/idol thereof), there to be seen by my new devout spouse?

There is a bar in my hometown that is well known for every form of sexual immorality, and they have the best “christmas” decorations in town!  This should tell us something about whether or not the holiday is really about the Righteous Creator or not.

In Exodus 32:1-8, when Moses left Aaron in charge of the Israeli community, which had just left Egypt, he fashioned a calf out of gold (the religious tradition of the Egyptians) and then said that the Hebrews were to worship the True Creator in this same pagan way.  He was obviously proven wrong.  When Moses returned, he said that the pagans among them had caused them to pervert the Holy Way in which they used to worship the Creator, rebuking them to never, ever again worship the Eternal Father with pagan customs.

“If your brother is grieved because of your food . . .

(or pagan holidays)

You are no longer being loving . . .

It is good to abstain from meat or wine . . .

(or pagan holidays)

Or ANYTHING . . .

If they cause your brother to be grieved.”

(Romans 14: 15 & 21)

We are commanded not to offend our Christian brother, even if we are not offended by the matter itself.  A wine drinker (hopefully) can go one meal without drinking wine to suit a recovering alcoholic at the table.  A meat eater should be able to eat vegetables for one meal to please a vegetarian host.  A true Christian should be able to live through the month of December without bringing “christmas” decorations into the church which offends those who realize that they are of pagan idol origin.  After all, the Church of Rome has “christmas” trees and decorations throughout their churches, as do abominable sexually deviant nightclubs.  Do we really want to follow their example?

I can not think of one person who would not attend my church in December if the pagan symbols and seasonal rituals were not brought in, yet I can think of several people who are now not attending because the pagan symbols and rituals are inside of the church.

Seeing how “christmas” is supposed to honor the Father and the Son, yet instead has been taken over by the specific symbols (idols) and customs (rituals) of ancient paganism, the exact same ones which were used to worship false gods on the very same day, shouldn’t I avoid them and the “holidays” associated with them to worship the Creator in purity?

“You shall not worship the Eternal your Creator

the same way the pagans worship their false deities.“

 (Deuteronomy 12:31)

The Father is holy.  What is “holiness”?  Purity.  Would I want to drink a glass of orange juice with only one percent gasoline?  If not, then why would I want to bring in even one percent paganism into The Creator’s Holy Church?  In His book, any impurity, even one percent, makes something holy, unholy.  Do I love and protect myself more than the Creator’s Church?

The paganism in “christmas” today, with its pre-Christ silver and gold decorated tree idols, celebrated gleefully and universally by unrepentant, violent, rebellious, and lascivious openly non-christian revelers, should be enough proof that “christmas” is not Divine.  Saturn, Tammuz, and Baal, and their abominable self-indulgent way of life, are still being honored, in the very same way and on the very same day!

.

Do you want to be an accomplice to that?

Thankfulness (VIDEO)

The first nationwide “Thanksgiving” holiday was proclaimed by inaugural president George Washington on Thursday, November 26, 1789, as a day of “Public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and significant favors of Almighty God.”

Whether mankind’s life exists through a forethought gift of a Divine Creator or by the random chance of two rocks colliding (though I would like to know from where the rocks came and what caused their motion), individual intelligent life does exist, and as all reading these words possess this beneficiary state of being that was beyond our own choosing, which is the central condition through which all prosperity comes, then it is this intrinsic form of existing as a living being that must form the foundation our most humble state of thankfulness. That is to say, life itself is the central reason for gratitude, to be given either to an inanimate universe (that somehow formed life without being alive itself) or to an Almighty Creator, whose mind and abilities are beyond the comprehension of mankind, just as the workings of an airplane are to a canine, to whom a lack of understanding of its intricacies does not negate the Truth of its forethought design.

Regardless of its origin, the Believer and the atheist alike have reason to be grateful for the gift of life, for without it, nothing else would matter. Even if an Eternal Being were the cause of it, and no afterlife was granted following mortality, we would still be obliged to give thanks for the hours and days we received, completely unmerited. This is why, when I do express thanks for the many undeserved blessings of existence, my Number One acknowledgement is for life itself, even if there were no afterlife following its conclusion.

As I do observe and acknowledge the design in all of nature, as did Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, and DaVinci, as the insides of our very beings display complete intentional order and purpose, and suggesting that lower forms of life created higher forms of life is as completely contrary, just as a first grader developing algebra would be, the next level of thankfulness that my heart ascends to is the hope and promise of Eternal Life. When the cartoon character robot “Bender” from the program “Futurama” found out that he only had one million years to live, he famously said, “Anything less than immortality is a complete waste of time.” He is profoundly right. Even if mortal man could live a million years, the time would eventually come to an end, along with all the memories thereof. Sad.

Part of being a Believer in a Divine Creator is the understanding from the ancient scriptures, as well as from secular history (which actually corroborate each other fully, with exception only to the “Creation” account, which one either accepts on Faith or questions in doubt), both of which tell the account of mankind falling from being loving and peaceful in nature to hateful and warlike. (Even atheists agree with this.) As such, for those who believe in a Creator rather than an “accident” (the latter likely for a desire of unaccountable self-rule). Believers understand that a plan was enacted to reverse this deadly trend, by the Creator personally visiting His creation, demonstrating the Way of Life that was lost through contagious self-centeredness. By adhering to this Divine Doctrine, the sinful nature of man is restored, the byproduct of which is Eternal Life. Thereby, my Number Two expression of thankfulness, is to the Messiah for sacrificing His heavenly comforts to take on the lowly form of a homeless man, to reverse the poison of hatred with love, and through Him alone, one may take hold of the only acquisition worth anything, that of Everlasting Life, because . . . “Anything less than immortality is a complete waste of time.”

Number Three in my list of Thankfulness is the Messiah’s Church and my local Inspirational Pastor, which is a gymnasium, and who is a coach, for my striving soul. The Savior plainly said, “Those who hold to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:13) Quitting smoking once is not enough to overcome lung cancer. One must fight and stay quit for all time in order to be cancer free. In the same way, getting “Saved” is not enough to enter eternal life. One must stay saved in order to take hold of the victory. (See Hebrews 10:26-29 & Romans 6:1-23) The Scripturally Sound Church trains the soul for continual maturity and keeps the soul in the Saving Grace of God. Without this discipline and likeminded fellowship, the spiritual athlete will drift into unhealthy worldly habits that will entrap them again into the very enslaving sins from which they just got saved. (See 2^nd Peter 2:1-22)

Number Four: My Darling Wife; Partner in Life; Partner in The Faith. My friend and inspiration in life.

Is “christmas” Christian? (VIDEO)

“Your CREATOR says: Do not imitate the ways of the pagans . . .

They cut down a tree and decorate it with silver and gold.”

Jeremiah 10:2-4

Videos at End in References

“Christmas-time” brings a lot of memories of pleasure, yet to be quite honest, none of them have to do with the birth of the Savior of the world.  Instead, they are of debaucherous eating, intoxicating drinking, and material excesses.

One of my earliest memories of heartbreak was when I was six years old.  A junior high school student who shared the school bus I rode, spilled the beans that my parents were really “santa claus”.  When I got home, I asked my parents about this in separate interviews.  (I guess I was an investigative journalist even back then!)  They both categorically denied the youngster’s confession.  Suspecting that something was afoul in their unconvincing defensiveness, I continued to press my parents on the issue.  They continued their denial.  Unsatisfied and unpersuaded, I pushed the issue even harder to get to the bottom of the matter, behind their suspected cloaking.  My father finally got sick of my persistent inquisitiveness and angrily acknowledged their years long deception.

When I found out the truth, I was heartbroken.  I cried myself to sleep.  Why was I so devastated?  Because this dream I had hung my happiness on my entire life turned out to be a lie.

Why are manipulative lies being told to unsuspecting innocent children?  Is not the account of the Son of the Eternal Father, willingly leaving the glory of heaven in exchange for the humble estate of a barn to save His ungrateful and unsuspecting Creation, enough to enchant a child?  Yes it is!  Why then has the false idol of “santa clause” and his allurement of material wealth, which will all soon perish, held in higher esteem than, and diverting enormous attention from, the unsurpassed gift of eternal life and the remarkable bearer thereof?

“What is seen is temporary.  What is unseen is eternal.”

2nd Corinthians 4:18

Believe it or not, the world’s “christmas” directly competes for focus with the Messiah, so it brings a big smile to Satan’s face, as well as a tear to the crucified Savior’s eye, for its annual pagan revelry.

The Savior of the world was not born to instigate a commercial enterprise, nor to promote additional worldly debauchery, materialism and competitive violence.

I was in wal-mart last spring at “easter-time”.  I noticed symbols (idols) of rabbits and eggs everywhere, yet I did not see a single representation of the Messiah.  “Easter”, I discovered, was originally “Ishtar”, the pagan celebration of springtime sex, hence rabbits and eggs.  Get it?  What amazed me is that this tradition is more than 4000 years old (traced specifically to the fallen Nimrod, great-grandson of Noah; the conduit through which nearly all worldwide pagan “holiday” rituals began), and here we are doing the exact same thing with bunnies and eggs to this very day, 4000 years later!  Wow!  Nothing has changed in 4000 years!  The exact same pagan tradition has been passed on from parent to child all this time, only now we try to claim the exact same pagan rituals as “righteous”.

Nimrod, after he died, was immediately deified by the pagans and worshiped as “Baal” (the “sun-god”), the number one direct competitor in the Old Testament for the affection and worship of the true Creator.  Nimrod’s wife Semiramis (also known as “Ashtoreth”), was the number two Old Testament competitor for the Father’s true worshipers.  After she died, she too was  deified, allegedly reborn at sunrise out of a red egg laid by a menstruating rabbit.  Her reborn name was “Ishtar” (Easter).  To commemorate this, the pagans held a sunrise worship service at the beginning of springtime (or birth) and painted eggs red, from the blood they attained from the babies they had just sacrificed in their pagan ritual.  So when we tell our children to paint their “easter” eggs, this IS where the tradition (ritual) comes from.

“Cupid” was the nickname of Nimrod’s son Tammuz, who had sex with his mother Semiramis in another pagan ritual.  When you celebrate “st. valentines day” of alleged “romance”, it is that of incest between a mother and a son.  When Tammuz (Cupid) died prematurely, in the prime of life, this was commemorated for thousands of years on December 25th as a funeral mass (christ-mass), at the beginning of winter (or death), by cutting down a tree, in its prime of life, making it an idol, and then decorating it with silver, gold and lit candles, created from the fat of children sacrificed on their pagan alter.

“Your CREATOR says: Do not imitate the ways of the pagans . . .

They cut down a tree and decorate it with silver and gold.”

Jeremiah 10:2-4

“The children of Israel did evil in the sight of  THE CREATOR . . .

They forsook the Father . . .

who had saved them from the pagans and their ways . . .

From BAAL andASHTORETH.“

Judges 2:11-13

 

You see, without knowing it, or perhaps deeply contemplating it, until now, December 25^th is really the “Tammuz-mass” for the death of the son of Baal (the notorious, blood thirsty pagan god), not for the birth of the Divine Creator’s Son, the Messiah from Nazareth, whom all scholars agree was born in the fall, not the winter, during the Feast of Tabernacles.  Toward the end of the third century, when the “church of rome” wished to increase their attendance rolls (and thereby collections), they simply claimed to convert millions of pagans by sprinkling them in crowds of tens of thousands with “holy water”, never teaching them the Father’s commandments, nor truly converting them by repentance, nor baptizing them one by one by submersion, only after individual proof was shown of the foregoing, all of which the scriptures insist on for true conversion.

To graft these millions of pagans into the now fallen church, which quickly became a global financial and political enterprise, the corrupt church leaders adapted nearly all of their newly unconverted parishioner’s pagan rituals into the church as “rites” and “holidays” to pacify them with familiarity.  To claim that December 25^this what was spoken of in scripture as “Today in the town a David a Savior is born” (Luke 2:11) is comically blasphemous . . . if there is such a thing.

If I were a goat farmer who wore a shirt with a goat head in the middle of a pentagram, innocently thinking I was promoting my industry, and then someone pointed out to me that the very same symbol was used for devil worship, should I continue to wear it once I knew better saying, “Well . . . It doesn’t mean that to me” ?  The question should be, “What does it mean to the Creator?” Remember, the Eternal Father was there, and He does remember, even if we don’t.  He was there for Baal and devil worship.  He was there for Ishtar and the child blood eggs.  He was there for the incestuous Tammuz-tree tradition, the very day it started.  We may not see the pagan connections in these things, yet I assure you He does!  Do we not think the Creator finds it odd to bring in these very same pagan rituals or symbols or idols into His church . . . into His sanctuary . . . on the very same pagan calendar days . . . all the while calling it the worship of Him?

Are we more interested in pleasing people . . .

Or the One who Created us?

“The Creator forgave past sins of ignorance . . .

Yet now, in better knowledge, He commands us to repent.”

Acts 17:30

As you will see from the references at the end of the article, “santa clause”, the “christmas tree”, wreaths, holly, poinsettias, and many other “christmas” symbols (idols) come directly from pagan fertility rituals for the worship of false gods, which directly competed for our Creator’s and Savior’s attention, servitude and affection, just as they do today.  It might be a different matter if the symbols were simply secular historically (non-religious) in their origin (like a turkey at “thanksgiving”), yet because they are direct representations of identical ancient forms of pagan religious worship rituals of false gods, I think it is a much more serious matter than we may first believe, especially if we are doing the exact same rituals on the exact same days in a religious endeavor.

If we claim “christianity” as our title, then no doubt we see the world as a “fallen” place.  What makes it fallen?  The breaking of the Creator’s laws.  What are the most fundamental of the Creator’s laws?  The Ten Commandments.  What are the most fundamental of these commandments?  #1 “Have no other gods before me.”  #2 “Do not use idols.” . . . Hummm? . . . (All the other commandments are being broken in the world, so why not these, right? . . . Or have we perhaps forgotten the first two, mistakenly thinking they are somehow antiquated, not realizing that we can still break them today?)

“You shall destroy what is pagan . . .

For I am JEALOUS for my creation’s affections.”

Exodus 34:13-14

If my spouse is jealous because I spend a lot of time talking to an attractive co-worker and I think they are overreacting, should I continue the behavior anyway, or rather care about what my beloved thinks and alter my actions accordingly?

Would I want my wedding party to have even one old lover as a guest (or a picture/symbol idol thereof), there to be seen by my new devout spouse?

There is a bar in my hometown that is well known for every form of sexual immorality, and they have the best “christmas” decorations I have ever seen! . . . “christmas” trees are everywhere!  This should tell us something about whether or not the holiday is really about the righteous Creator or not.

If “christmas” were really about the Messiah, malls would have an actor dressed like the Messiah in the middle of them instead of “santa clause”.  There would be sheep instead of elves.  Children would sit on the Messiah’s lap and tell the Messiah what they wanted.  The beloved Savior would be at the end of the “thanksgiving day” parade walking with a staff and lambs (representing the Word and the children of the Creator) instead of “santa clause” riding in a sleigh with presents (representing the allure of momentary gratification).  Who is “santa clause” anyway?  You guessed it.  The Savior’s competition and nemesis.  Who else?  Satan himself.

As you will see from the first video reference at the end of the article, “santa” riding a sleigh in the sky originated from the pagan god “saturn” (the death angel; the devil).  He too rode a chariot in the sky, had a long white beard, and was often depicted with a child on his lap . . . to eat them for dinner!  In the second video reference, you will discover the Scandinavians later adapted Saturn into “Odin” (lucifer), the bearded god of war, death, intoxication and seduction. The Europeans adapted “Odin” into “Robin the Hobgoblin” (or satan), who announced his dreaded arrival with the warning laugh of “Ho! Ho! Ho!” . . . Incredible isn’t it! . . . We willingly put (sacrifice) our children on the lap of satan and bring pagan idols (trees) into our homes where they become the center of attention and festivities . . . just like the pagans did 4000 years ago!

In Exodus 32:1-8, when Moses left Aaron in charge of the Israeli community, which had just left Egypt, he fashioned a calf out of gold (as was worshiped by the Egyptians) and then said that the Hebrews were to worship the true Creator in this same pagan way.  He was obviously proven wrong.  When Moses returned, he said that the pagans among them had caused them to pervert the holy way in which they used to worship the Creator, rebuking them to never, ever again worship the Eternal Father with pagan customs.

“When the Eternal your Creator drives out from before you the pagan nations which you go to possess, and you replace them and live in their land, beware that you do not follow or imitate their pagan customs or ways of worship, inquiring ‘How did they worship their false gods?  We will worship the true Creator likewise.’  You shall not worship the Eternal your Creator the same way the pagans worship their false deities.“

 Deuteronomy 12:29-31

Just as Michael Jackson and pedophile priests were always seen smiling as they embraced little children, “christmas” too has the appearance of spirituality, yet as any “black friday” demonstrates, the holiday is really about materialism, revelry and self-indulgence, not about the Creator’s Savior who said . . .

“Do NOT store up for yourselves treasures on earth . . .

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:19-21

“No one can serve two masters . . .

You can not love the Father and possessions.”

Matthew 6:24

“Do not love this world or the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.  For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions.  These are not from the Father, they are from the world.  This world is fading away, along with the possessions that people crave.  Yet, anyone who loves and honors the Father instead of the world will live forever.

1^st John 2:15-17

“You have let go of the commands of your Creator . . .

So that you may take hold of your pagan traditions.“

Mark 7:8

“Christmas”, “easter”, “st. valentine’s day”, “st. patrick’s day”, “halloween” . . . all came about after the “church of rome” became paganized in the third century.  None of these “holidays” were ever celebrated by the apostles, or the Savior, or their followers, or anyone for the first three hundred years of the Savior’s church.  Why?  Because they knew better.  Because they knew they were 100% pagan rituals.  Do we know better than the apostles, when we are so much farther from the time when the Messiah walked the earth and the establishment of the pure church He founded? Shouldn’t we, if we are going to celebrate any “holy”days, celebrate Passover or Pentecost or Tabernacles, instead of “cupid’s (incest) day” or “(demonic) halloween” or Baal and Tammuz’s December 25th “mass-day”?

“Christmas”, in fact, was outlawed numerous times in the past by Creator-fearing governments, leaders like Oliver Cromwell, and the earliest christian reformers, specifically because of its pagan origins and debaucherous customs of which we now study.  Not only was “christmas” outlawed by the christian reformers in Europe, it was adamantly outlawed by the first christian immigrant reformers of America as well, due to its lascivious revelry and rampant violence, just as we have today.  What a victory for Satan that we have since forgotten to shun this pagan enterprise as unholy!

Charles Spurgen, one of the most highly acclaimed pastors of all time by all denominations, said on December 24, 1871:

“We do not believe in ‘christmas’, rather we abhor it!

It is unscriptural and superstitious.  It’s authority is undivine.“

My fiancée attends a devout Christian “sister” church on an island nation that refuses to bring these ancient pagan symbols (idols) into the sanctuary for these very reasons. Her congregation, being on a small island, has had little outside influence to hinder the purity of the initial church planting more than a hundred years ago.  Here in America (some argue a “beast nation”), on the other hand, compromise is acceptable because we all grow up in the middle of a most compromising nation.  So subtly and gradually have we become accustomed to compromise, that we don’t even perceive it.  My church, though of the same denomination, has had in the past, pagan “christmas trees” not only in the church, on the sanctuary stage (alter) itself. Why, if they were originally idols of Tammuz, son of Baal?

Even if a church were to not bring in the pagan trees, yet still focused the year’s attention of the birth of the true Messiah on or around December 25^th (the mass-day for the son of Baal, the false messiah), with the reading of Luke 2:11, stories of the Messiah’s birth, “christmas” songs and the usual “christmas” customs and references to the time as a “holiday” (though pagan), all the while knowing that the Savior was born in the fall during the Feast of Tabernacles and that this is really the day of Tammuz (the son of the false god), are they not still giving in to the ways of the pagan world and trying to make something unholy, holy, and trying to please men rather than the Creator of men?

If I asked my spouse if it would be okay with them to celebrate our anniversary on the same calendar day as my previous spouses’ anniversary instead, what do you think their reaction would be?  Do we not realize that the same feelings could be felt by our heavenly Father and His Son?

The paganism in “christmas” today, by gleeful participants of unrepentant, violent, rebellious, and lascivious openly non-christian revelers, should be enough proof that it is being celebrated just as it was 4000 years ago . . . Tammuz and Baal, and their abominable self-indulgent way of life, are still being honored . . . and on the very same calendar day!

If we claim we are compromising to win people to the Son, are we not going to win over compromising people?  If, on the other hand, we take an unpopular stand for the Son, will we not win over people who are willing to take an unpopular stand for the Son?  Which of the two types of people would the Son prefer in His Church?  No earthly prophet except Christ is infallible on such customs, yet the very same End Time prophets have said exactly this about attracting either worldly or holy converts to the Father’s congregational family in the Last Days, by holding the Father’s standards high, rather than low, as well as there being additional unpopular truths to be revealed in these Closing Hours, to prepare for even greater purity of the Church Bride before the Messiah’s return.  These I lay before you.

There actually is a new testament scripture that addresses a pagan issue just like this.  In speaking of whether or not to serve meat that was previously sacrificed to an idol:

“If your brother is grieved because of your food . . .

(or pagan holidays)

You are no longer being loving . . .

It is good to abstain from meat or wine . . .

(or pagan holidays)

Or ANYTHING . . .

If they cause your brother to be grieved.”

Romans 14: 15 & 21

We are commanded not to offend our Christian brother, even if we are not offended by the matter itself.  A wine drinker (hopefully) can go one meal without drinking wine to suit a recovering alcoholic at the table.  A meat eater should be able to eat vegetables for one meal to please a vegetarian host.  A true Christian should be able to live through the month of December without bringing “christmas” decorations into the church which offend those who realize they are of pagan idol origin.  (After all, the “church of rome” has “christmas” trees and decorations throughout their churches, as do abominable nightclubs.  Do we really want to follow their example?)

Personally, now that I know better, I can not think of one person who would not attend my church in December if the pagan symbols were not brought in, yet I can think of several people who are now not attending because the pagan symbols are inside of the church.

Seeing how “christmas” is supposed to honor the Father and the Son, yet has been taken over by the specific symbols (idols) and customs (rituals) of ancient paganism, the exact same ones which were used to worship false gods on the very same days, shouldn’t I avoid them and the holidays associated with them to worship the Creator in purity?

“You shall not worship the Eternal your Creator

the same way the pagans worship their false deities.“

 Deuteronomy 12:31

The Father is holy.  What is “holiness”?  Purity.  Would I want to drink a glass of orange juice with only one percent gasoline?  If not, then why would I want to bring in even one percent paganism into The Creator’s Holy Church?  In His book, any impurity makes something holy, unholy . . . even one percent.  Do I love and protect my body more than the Creator’s Church?

If I put a cross on a swastika while I praise the Messiah,

does that make the swastika symbol Christian?

 “Come out from the unbelievers and be separate,

Says THE ETERNAL,

And do not touch pagan things . . .

Then I will receive you.”

2nd Corinthians 6:17

Thankfulness (VIDEO)

The first nationwide “Thanksgiving” holiday was proclaimed by inaugural president George Washington on Thursday, November 26, 1789, as a day of “Public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and significant favors of Almighty God.”

Whether mankind’s life exists through a forethought gift of a Divine Creator or by the random chance of two rocks colliding (though I would like to know from where the rocks came and what caused their motion), individual intelligent life does exist, and as all reading these words possess this beneficiary state of being that was beyond our own choosing, which is the central condition through which all prosperity comes, then it is this intrinsic form of existing as a living being that must form the foundation our most humble state of thankfulness. That is to say, life itself is the central reason for gratitude, to be given either to an inanimate universe (that somehow formed life without being alive itself) or to an Almighty Creator, whose mind and abilities are beyond the comprehension of mankind, just as the workings of an airplane are to a canine, to whom a lack of understanding of its intricacies does not negate the Truth of its forethought design.

Regardless of its origin, the Believer and the atheist alike have reason to be grateful for the gift of life, for without it, nothing else would matter. Even if an Eternal Being were the cause of it, and no afterlife was granted following mortality, we would still be obliged to give thanks for the hours and days we received, completely unmerited. This is why, when I do express thanks for the many undeserved blessings of existence, my Number One acknowledgement is for life itself, even if there were no afterlife following its conclusion.

As I do observe and acknowledge the design in all of nature, as did Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, and DaVinci, as the insides of our very beings display complete intentional order and purpose, and suggesting that lower forms of life created higher forms of life is as completely contrary, just as a first grader developing algebra would be, the next level of thankfulness that my heart ascends to is the hope and promise of Eternal Life. When the cartoon character robot “Bender” from the program “Futurama” found out that he only had one million years to live, he famously said, “Anything less than immortality is a complete waste of time.” He is profoundly right. Even if mortal man could live a million years, the time would eventually come to an end, along with all the memories thereof. Sad.

Part of being a Believer in a Divine Creator is the understanding from the ancient scriptures, as well as from secular history (which actually corroborate each other fully, with exception only to the “Creation” account, which one either accepts on Faith or questions in doubt), both of which tell the account of mankind falling from being loving and peaceful in nature to hateful and warlike. (Even atheists agree with this.) As such, for those who believe in a Creator rather than an “accident” (the latter likely for a desire of unaccountable self-rule). Believers understand that a plan was enacted to reverse this deadly trend, by the Creator personally visiting His creation, demonstrating the Way of Life that was lost through contagious self-centeredness. By adhering to this Divine Doctrine, the sinful nature of man is restored, the byproduct of which is Eternal Life. Thereby, my Number Two expression of thankfulness, is to the Messiah for sacrificing His heavenly comforts to take on the lowly form of a homeless man, to reverse the poison of hatred with love, and through Him alone, one may take hold of the only acquisition worth anything, that of Everlasting Life, because . . . “Anything less than immortality is a complete waste of time.”

Number Three in my list of Thankfulness is the Messiah’s Church and my local Inspirational Pastor, which is a gymnasium, and who is a coach, for my striving soul. The Savior plainly said, “Those who hold to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:13) Quitting smoking once is not enough to overcome lung cancer. One must fight and stay quit for all time in order to be cancer free. In the same way, getting “Saved” is not enough to enter eternal life. One must stay saved in order to take hold of the victory. (See Hebrews 10:26-29 & Romans 6:1-23) The Scripturally Sound Church trains the soul for continual maturity and keeps the soul in the Saving Grace of God. Without this discipline and likeminded fellowship, the spiritual athlete will drift into unhealthy worldly habits that will entrap them again into the very enslaving sins from which they just got saved. (See 2^nd Peter 2:1-22)
