WHAT!?!?! ARE YOU MAD?!

Came across this video tonight, it sums up nicely what I've been saying about the whole "mental health" scam now for the last few years.

Carl Jung was the son of a preacher. My guess is that his father wasn't walking what he was talking, because Carl decided there had to be some other explanation for why people went crazy. He retained a semblance of biblical terminologies, preferring to refer to the demonic forces as "archetypes and dark shadows".

Freud was a fraud. He was a smart guy, I don't doubt that, but his theories of mental disorders being the result of repressed sexual desires, and the like, are IMHO, the ramblings of a dirty old man.

Today we have an industry built on and around these quacks! They are labeling you and me as mentally disturbed, all for the security that this brings them, not to mention the enormous profits that the pharmaceutical industry will make from the "cure".

Frankly, it's nuts!

This "industry", which is no industry at all, is full of atheistic, humanist, anti-christ men and women, who, for the most part, really believe that they are helping us.

God save us from well meaning fools!!!

Here's the video,



Not Many Wise........

Don't know about you, but I am pretty much done with TV
and all of the "regular" media. As they thumb their noses
at Christ and Christians in general, they have forever
lost me as a zombie.
When the likes of Paris Hilton are promoted as "the
beautiful people", the world is officially at the end.
I will admit that at one time, as a Christian even, I
thought God wanted me to be rich. Creflo Dollar, TD Jakes,
Mike Murdock, and a whole host of preachers from hell
just about had me convinced that this was Yahovey's plan
for my life. I was almost gone, but for one little verse
from the Bible, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and
His Righteousness, and He will add all these things unto
you". I figured God would make me rich then I'd go to
Bible school to learn about faith and truth. But nooooo.
It seems that the rich are, for the most part anyway, a
stench in His Holy nostrils. I had even, I'm ashamed to
admit, given to the rich, thinking that they would
"bless me". And the whole timeI was reading the book of
Proverbs thinking that I was the wise one!!! Oh the irony!
God will not allow His own to be destroyed by any of the
traps that the enemy sets, not even wealth or status.
He delights to give good gifts to His children, He will
build you your house and "fill it with all manner of
precious spoils", But He's going to do it His way,
which usually involves the chastising He reserves for
those sons and daughters whom He loves. To paraphrase
a scripture, "It sucks but then it's great".

All of this leads me to today's quote from Watchman Nee.
It seems the "lowly" have been around forever, even in
pre-communist China.

Well, beloved, rejoice that you are Lowborn! Rejoice
that the world despises you! Rejoice in knowing that
it rejects you, because The One who accepts you was
rejected by the same ones who despise you today.

And the Anti-Christ will be one of them......


God Has Chosen the Foolish and the Lowborn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1Cor 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser
than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than
men. 26 For consider your calling, brothers, that
there are not many wise according to flesh, not many
powerful, not many wellborn. 27 But God has chosen
the foolish things of the world that He might shame
those who are wise, and God has chosen the weak
things of the world that He might shame the things
that are strong, 28 And the lowborn things of the
world and the despised things God has chosen, things
which are not, that He might bring to nought the
things which are, 29 So that no flesh may boast
before God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we see that among the believers there are not
many wise according to flesh. To be wise is related
to the mind, whereas to be powerful is related to
the will. In verse 26 Paul points out that among the
believers in Corinth there were not many wellborn.
The Greek word rendered wellborn in verse 26 means
highborn, noble, that is, born of a noble or royal
family. The church of God is composed not mainly of
the upper class, but of the lowborn of the world
and the despised. To appreciate the upper class is
against God's mind and a shame to the church.

In verse 28 the word lowborn means base, ignoble,
that is, born of common people. The expression
"things which are not" refers to the lowborn and
the despised as being as good as having no
existence. The lowborn and the despised are of
no account in the world. Hence, "things that are"
refer to the wellborn, who are counted much in the
world but brought to nothing by God in His economy.

In the eyes of man, the lowborn, the despised ones,
seem not to exist. They are so looked down upon that
they seem to have no existence. Thus, they are
"things which are not." But God uses these very
things to bring to nothing the things which are, the
wellborn who are counted much in the world. God has
chosen the lowborn, the low class, that He might shame
the wellborn, those of the upper class.

The Work Will Set You Free!!! (an addendum)

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the communist philosophy of "work set you free". Well, here I am, sitting in a little truck stop, having my bacon and eggs, when I came across another insightful writing by Roy Tov.

I want to share it with you here......

http://www.roytov.com/articles/schwartz.htm

After reading that, I thought of the term, "Works Righteousness" and how without Christ, we can only hope to be good enough or to do enough good, to be seen as worthy of God's Blessings and favor.

It is so obvious to those of us who are made alive through the miracle of the Cross that these poor souls need their Messiah NOW!! It is still my prayer that they will open their eyes and see that this Man that they crucified is indeed their only hope.

Anyway, these are just a few thoughts from the side of the road.

Gotta go make some miles.....

And the winning number is.................

Sorry, i don't think gambling or playing the lotteries is smart or even fun.

I prefer to put my faith in a sure thing. Like the Word of God!

I have written about Bible Numerics before, about a year ago I think, but it's a subject that just needs to kept at the forefront.

Today I came across another couple of articles about Dr. Ivan Panin. His work should be shouted from the roof tops. He proved, mathematically, that the Holy Bible is indeed the inspired Word Of God. Men may have put stylus to papyrus, but it was under the guidance and total influence of the Holy Spirit.

Check this out.....

IS GOD A MATHEMATICIAN?

By Keith Newman.

The authenticity of the Holy Bible has been attacked at regular intervals by athiests and theologians alike but none have explained away the mathematical seal beneath its surface.

It would seem the divine hand has moved to prevent counterfeiting in the pages of the Bible in a similar manner to the line that runs through paper money. Bible numerics appears to be God's watermark of authenticity.

Vital research on this numeric seal was completed by a native of the world's most renowned atheistic nation, Russia. Dr Ivan Panin was born in Russia on Dec 12, 1855. As a young man he was an active nihilist and participated in plots against the Czar and his government. He was a mathematical genius who died a Harvard scholar and a citizen of the United States in 1942.

Panin was exiled from Russia. After spending a number of years studying in Germany he went to the United States where he became an outstanding lecturer on literary criticism.

Panin was known as a firm agnostic - so well known that when he discarded his agnosticism and accepted the Christian faith, the newspapers carried headlines telling of his conversion.

It was in 1890 that Dr Panin made the discovery of the mathematical structure underlining the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament. He was casually reading the first verse of the gospel of John in the Greek: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was God...".

Dr Panin was curious as to why the Greek word for "the"' preceeded the word "God"' in one case and not the other. In examining the text he became aware of a number relationship. This was the first of the discoveries that led to his conversion and uncovered the extensive numeric code.

Oldest manuscripts

Dr Panin found his proof in the some of the oldest and most accurate manuscripts - the Received Hebrew Text and the Westcott and Hort Text.

In the original languages of the Bible, mostly Hebrew and Greek, there are no separate symbols for numbers, letters of the alphabet are also used to indicate numbers.

The numeric value of a word is the sum total of all its letters. It was curiosity that first caused Dr Panin to begin toying with the numbers behind the texts. Sequences and patterns began to emerge. These created such a stirring in the heart of the Russian that he dedicated 50 years of his life to painstakingly comb the pages of the Bible.

This complex system of numbering visibly and invisibly saturates every book of the scriptures emphasising certain passages and illustrating deeper or further meaning in types and shadows. The 66 books of the Bible 39 in the Old and 27 in the New were written by 33 different people.

Those authors were scattered throughout various countries of the world and from widely different backgrounds. Many of them had little or no schooling. The whole Bible was written over a period of 1500 years with a 400 year silence apart from the Apocrypha between the two testaments. Despite the handicaps the biblical books are found to be a harmonious record, each in accord with the other.

Dr Panin says the laws of probability are exceeded into the billions when we try and rationalise the authorship of the Bible as the work of man. He once said: "If human logic is worth anything at all we are simply driven to the conclusion that if my facts I have presented are true, man could never have done this.

Inspiration from on high

"We must assume that a Power higher than man guided the writers in such a way, whether they knew it or not, they did it and the Great God inspired them to do it''.

The Bible itself states clearly that it is the literal God-breathed'' living word of the Creator. The words "Thus saith the Lord"' and "God said"' occur more than 2500 times throughout scripture.

In 2 Timothy 3:16 it states "All scripture is given by inspiration of God". Then in 2 Peter 9:20-21 it plainly states: "No prophecy of the scriptures is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost".

Let's take the number seven as an illustration of the way the patterns work. Seven is the most prolific of the mathematical series which binds scripture together. The very first verse of the Bible "In the begining God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen 1:1), contains over 30 different combinations of seven.

This verse has seven Hebrew words having a total of 28 letters 4 x 7. The numeric value of the three nouns "God", "heaven" and "earth" totals 777. Any number in triplicate expresses complete, ultimate or total meaning.

Also tightly sealed up with sevens are the genealogy of Jesus, the account of the virgin birth and the resurrection. Seven occurs as a number 187 times in the Bible (41 x 7), the phrase "seven-fold" occurs seven times and "seventy" occurs 56 times (7 x 8).

In the Book of Revelation seven positively shines out: there are seven golden candlesticks, seven letters to seven churches, a book sealed with seven seals, seven angels standing before the Lord with seven trumpets, seven thunders and seven last plagues. In fact there are over 50 occurrences of the number seven in Revelation alone.

Divisible by seven

There are 21 Old Testament writers whose names appear in the Bible (3 x 7). The numeric value of their names is divisible by seven. Of these 21, seven are named in the New Testament: Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Hosea and Joel. The numeric values of these names is 1554 (222 x 7). David's name is found 1134 times (162 x 7).

God's seal also pervades creation as though it were woven into the very fabric of nature.

The Bible has declared man's years to be three score and ten (70). The development of the human embryo is in exact periods of sevens or 28 days (4 x 7). Medical science tells us the human body is renewed cell for cell every seven years.

We're told the pulse beats slower every seven days as if it were in accord with the seventh day of rest proclaimed in the Genesis creation week. And God formed man of the dust of the ground (Gen 2:7); science confirms the human body is made of the same 14 elements (2 x 7) found in your average handful of dust.

The light of the sun is made up of seven distinct colours as shown in the rainbow. In music there are seven distinct notes which climax in a chord or octave at the beginning of a new seven.

In almost all animals the incubation or pregnancy period is divisible by seven. Seven is often referred to as "God's seal" or the number of spiritual perfection.

Number of resurrection

Eight is the number of new life or "resurrection". It is the personal number of Jesus. When we add together the letter values of the name Jesus in the Greek we get 888. Jesus was called The Christ, the numeric value of this title is 1480 (185 x 8). He was Saviour which has the value 1408 (2 x 8 x 88).

Jesus is also Lord which again is a multiple of eight being 800 (100 x 8). Messiah has the numeric value 656 (82 x8). Jesus also called himself the Son of man. The term occurs 88 times and is valued at 2960 (370 x 8).

Jesus said "I am the truth": the numeric value of "the truth" is 64 (8 x 8). The last book in the Bible is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which has exactly 888 Greek words. Eight persons were saved in the Ark at the great Noahic flood. God made a covenant with Abraham that every male Jewish child was to be circumsised on the eighth day of his life.

There are eight individual cases of resurrection spoken of in the Bible apart from Jesus. Three occur in the Old Testament, three in the gospels and two in Acts. It was on the eighth day or the first day of the new week that Jesus rose from the dead. The Holy Spirit also came down from heaven on the eighth day.

Nine is finality or completion. The first example of its use is that infinitely sealed first verse of the Bible: "In the beginning God'' which in Hebrew is: Brayshith Elohim which has the numeric value of 999. The very next statement "created the heaven" is also sealed with 999.

Nine is finality

The number nine is endowed with a peculiar quality, it is finality in itself. Not only is it the final single number, but if you multiply it by any other number, the addition of the resulting figures will always revert back to nine (2 x 9 = 18 / 1 + 8 = 9 etc).

There are nine basic gifts available to the Christian believer through the power of God's Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:8-10). There are nine basic fruits which should be evident in the life of the believer (Gal 5:22-23). The words "my wrath" have the numeric value 999. The word Amen or verily is valued at 99 and occurs 99 times.

The work on the cross was completed at the ninth hour when Jesus said "It is finished". The shedding of his blood was final. It saw an end to the old system of animal sacrifice to atone for sin. The word "blood" in this sense occurs 99 times.

Great superstition has always surrounded the number 13 as being unlucky or dark. Perhaps there is good reason. One of the most convincing proofs of the origins of this number can be found by unraveling all the names by which Satan is known. Drakon or dragon has a value of 975 (13 x 75) and it occurs 13 times. Peirazon or tempter has a value of 1053 (13 x 81). Belial which is personification of evil has a value of 78 (13 x 6).

Anthropoktonos or "murderer" has a value of 1820 (13 x 40). Ophis or "serpent" is 780 (13 x 60). The phrase used by the Holy Spirit Ho kaloumenos diablos kai ho Satanas or "called the Devil and Satan" is valued 2197 (13 x 13 x 13).

Small neat calculations

This article is in truth an oversimplification of the work of Dr Panin and others who followed in his footsteps. Dr Panin's work initially involved some 40,000 pages of material on which he had written millions of small neat calculations. It involved volumes.

He often laboured up to 18 hours a day exploring the vast numeric structure. By and large it was a thankless task. Dr Panin said "When I first made the discovery I was of course, taken off my feet - I was in the same condition as our friend Archimedes who when he solved a great mathematical problem while in the bath, rushed in to the street naked, crying 'I have found it'. I thought people would be delighted to embrace the new discovery, but I found human nature is always the same. So I quietly withdrew and did my work all by myself".

Although it would appear that his work has been largely lost from popular reading today Dr Panin did accomplish several outstanding works. He published Structure in the Bible the Numeric Greek New Testament and the Numeric English New Testament.

The works of Dr Ivan Panin have been put before the experts many times. Dr Panin once challenged nine noted rationalists and Bible critics through the medium of the New York Sun newspaper Nov 9, 1899. He dared them to publicly refute or give explanation for a few of his presented facts. Four made lame excuses. The rest were silent.

Dr Panin issued a challenge throughout leading newspapers of the world asking for a natural explanation or rebuttal of the facts. Not a single person accepted.


So, Mr. Doubter, are you going to take him up on his challenge? Watch out if you do, you just might become a Believer in Jesus Christ. Wouldn't that be awful? We know you're much happier walking through the world in darkness.

Seriously, with all of the proof presented, what stops you from accepting The Gift? Could it be that you like your sin? That your having too much fun? Well, dear lost one, God loves you and so do I. It doesn't matter what you've done, where you've been, how dark you secrets are; Repent and believe that Yeshua (Hebrew name for Jesus) died and rose again from the dead, for you to have forgiveness of sin and life abundantly, now and forever.

As a former party animal, I can assure you that the party awaiting us in eternity is beyond anything we can imagine.

To you He says, "Come".

Pray For Our Troops.......

To be brought home.

The last couple of years have been real eye openers for me. We all have been kept in the dark on so many fronts. In the church, in the market, in the government, in the media and we love it so because we can't handle the truth. We want ear tickling preachers. We want feel good economics. We want to believe the liars who supposedly work for us. We want to be mesmerized by sports and diversions. Why?

BECAUSE WE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me".

99.99% of the people of the world have or will reject that statement. Why?

BECAUSE WE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

He also said there would be wars and rumours of wars. Well, I guess we have that in spades.

This video will piss you off. If you're a war supporter because it shows the true nature of war. If you're against the war, it will just ignite your resolve to stop it.

Why do we allow our so called leaders to send our brothers, sons and now our sisters and daughters to be blown to bits for some corporate bastards?

BECAUSE WE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

Here's some truth, if you can handle it.......
