A Twitter follower of mine tweeted this country music video clip to me by a musician named Ken Rivers, and I thought I would post it for my readers. It's a very nice song, with a very nice sound. The points covered in this video offer a nicely compressed compendium and summary of what the (Jewish) elitist controllers have managed to do to American society, and how they now run the American government and the world at large for their own gain.
While I have always been an urban rat, and while I did not grow up on country music, I did gain some exposure to it while serving in the US Military. Many of the guys that I served with were from states like West Virginia, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, etc. And, so that was my exposure to country music. The few that came out of cities like NYC or LA were more into punk rock or heavy metal (like myself)!
I ran across this essay called "The Enemy Amongst Us" by Yukon Jack published in VT (Veterans Today) and have decided to provide an open response to it. I must admit that VT is a publication that I highly respect. Further, I must state that Yukon Jack makes some critical points of "truth" in his essay. However, there are some critical statements that he makes which deserve a response. Below, I will post quoted portions of what Jack wrote in "bold" print, and then I will provide my response in "standard" ink print.
"Jews and Christians, live amongst us and have corrupted society
with their fictional god and authority. The Jews have convinced most
gentiles the authenticity of their book and have enslaved almost the
entire planet. Because of the dominance of Christianity, humanity is
doomed to total enslavement. It is no longer just a Jew problem, the
entire population is infected with authoritarian memes because of Bible
indoctrination. Welcome to Judeo-Christian hell." There are some definite truths to what Jack is saying. "Welcome to Judeo-Christian hell" is a statement of absolute truth! I agree! One can read "Why Muslims are persecuting Christians in the Middle East" to confirm that we are indeed living in a "Judeo-Christian hell" where MANY (self-proclaiming) Judaizing Christians behave as Jews and thereby reap the same curses that Jews have had over thousands of years. And yes, those curses are either hellish, or will eventually lead to hell...one or the other or both!
And as Jack states, this "Judeo-Christian hell" is dooming humanity to total enslavement! Absolute truth! 70+ Million Americans (alone) or 1/4 of the ENTIRE American population claims to be a Judeo-Christian. That is a staggering figure indeed, and the reason why America is in the state it is in today. I contend that if even 1/4 of the American population were "true Christians," America would be a far better place to live. The number of Christians is not the problem. 1/4 of an entire population is well more than enough for a "truly Christian" population to make huge "positive" differences. However, when Christians behave in the manner of a Jew, then we can expect a very different outcome...one that is NOT good!
The error in Jack's statement, is that he implies that the Bible is merely a Jewish publication, rather than the inerrant Word of God. More on that point below. Deranged Christians think the path to freedom is through submission to
the Jew Bible. At least the Jews openly admit that gentiles are their
goyim slaves. The purpose of the Bible is to enslave, that is the clear
intent of the authors. How is it that you will find freedom when you
indoctrinate slavery? All Christians are reading an evil book that
corrupts the mind, there is no such thing as a ‘good’ Christian unless
you think being an obedient slave is good.
Yes, religions (of nearly all varieties) are largely corrupted. I agree. Yet, in order to understand God, we must be cognizant of the differences between God's Word and "religion." There is a huge difference. To use a metaphor, God's Word is like the Roman pillars which remain standing at various historic sites in Rome, Greece, Jordan, and throughout the ancient Roman Empire. These pillars have stood the test of time, and have prevailed. And, "religions" (in general) are like the urban buildings that we see in the modern cities of today. These buildings stand for 20 to 100 years, but then erode away due to their inability to stand the test of time and of nature's forces. Of course, some of the older religions have been around for much longer than that, but of those (like Catholicism), most have grown sour (and lukewarm) due to perverted doctrine.And, as God indicates in Revelation, He will vomit the lukewarm Christians out of His Kingdom:
16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. (Revelation 3:16 NASB)
The Bible is the inerrant Word of God. It is only through God's gift of grace that any of us have the faith to believe this fact. Such is Godly "truth," but not the "truth" of the world.
16 All
Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof,
for correction, for training in righteousness; (2 Timothy 3:16 NASB)
The above verse is out of the "Greek" (not Jewish) New Testament. The New Testament and the (Jewish) Old Testament combine to form the "Holy Bible." All of the Bible is God's Word.
Yet, given Jack's statements in his essay, it is evident; however, that the Bible is "foolishness" to him. Further, he believes that those who believe in it, are "suckers" and "fools." What does the Bible tell us about that phenomenon?
14 But
a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are
spiritually appraised.15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. (1 Corinthians 2:14-15 NASB)
Further, Jack contends that the Jews wrote the Bible to enslave the goyim. In truth, the Bible was written to enslave ALL of us! But, enslave to whom? Jesus. That's who! And, being a slave to Jesus is what frees us from the wicked world. Click on this hyperlink to learn what it means to "live free in Christ." Much of what you need to know is toward the end of this essay. Go read it! Those who do not bother to read that essay will remain confused by my statement, that being Jesus' slave is what, in reality, frees us from the world! Libertarians are even more perplexed by such a seemingly irrational statement! Yet, those who think they are closer to "the truth" are invariably, farther from it! (Yet another paradox!)
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:22 NASB)
Libertarians do appear (by worldly standard) to be wiser than the average Zombie (neocon/neolib). Yet, most "wise" people are not aware of what Romans 1:22 says. The point of Romans 1:22 is that those who are extraordinary intelligent are often extraordinarily ignorant in the eyes of God? Why? Because God HATES intellectual arrogance! The implication is, "intellectual arrogance is ignorance!" Again, many Libertarians (and "free thinkers") will be perplexed by such a statement!
Christians demand you submit to their god but their god is a fiction, a
meme, and idea the brain invented. No man has authority over another,
never did, never will because humans are free beings and always have
been.
This statement is Jack's blatant denial of the God in Heaven, as well as His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. In my assessment, Jack is a non-believing Libertarian. A good essay for him (and those who believe as he does) to read is: "Why Libertarian philosophy & psychology cannot save you!" Read it. I've written many blog entries so there is no need to repeat what I've said previously.
What Jack needs to realize is that Jews (who worship the "god" of *this* world - Satan) control Christian "religions." It is they who have hijacked the Christian doctrine in the churches, and it is the Jewish controllers who have pushed "Judeo-Christianity" on Americans and the world at large. And because of that, this is the reason we are all living in a "Judeo-Christian hell" as Jack refers to in his essay.
There is a huge difference between the Judeo-Christian interpretation of the Bible, and what the Bible actually means by God's true intent.
So Christian why aren’t you signing on to Obamacare? Why are you not
submitting to Obama’s authority over you? According to your book God put
the authorities in charge. You seem to be lacking faith in the
authorities these days. Looks to me like your lie has caught up to you
and is now biting you in your ass.
No, I don't want Obamacare, nor will I submit to anything his administration does that is not of God's Word. I agree with Jack's point there. And to his credit, too many Christians submit to wickedness and corruption, and that is why America is where she is today...a crack whore dying of AIDS. I get it!
However, the Bible does state that we are to submit to authority, when and only when the authorities are doing work that is ordained by God. A God-ordained government has a relatively narrow scope of responsibilities, and today, it is evident that the government is far over-reaching, and doing well more than that which God ordains in His Word.
Here again, I have already written about Romans 13, and what a God-ordained government should look like. The essay to read is: "Romans 13 – The Appropriate Role of Government." In short, a God-ordained government has the right to take life (as a punishment), to enforce justice, to maintain law and order, and to levy taxes (i.e., to take a "reasonable" amount of money to fund the former functions and to pay their own "reasonable" wages in order to carry out these God-ordained functions). And, that is it. That is the true model for a "smaller government." The only people who should "fear" government are "evil doers." Why? Because, the government (who behaves in a "God-ordained" manner) punishes the wicked, NOT the righteous people, which is exactly what the American government has been doing for a long time. Jack cites this phenomenon in his essay, and for that, I agree with his points. For those who think like Jack, you may think "faith" is not rational, and that it is the way of the fool. If you believe this way, then I invite you to read "Who is a real Christian? " It is here, that I describe matters of "faith" in alignment to what Scripture says. By reading this, you just might see that there is far more to "faith" than foolishness or irrationality. "Might" is the operative word!
Understanding the "Jewish problem" can either be your best friend or your worst enemy. The reason for this phenomenon is due to the fact that this issue is the most critical for understanding, because there is no better tool of deception that I can think of! There is no more potent way for Jews to conduct their "evil" behind the cloak of righteousness than to push the idea that it is "of the Lord" to support the actions of "Jews" and to support the apostate nation of "Israel" (i.e., the one formed in 1948)! That allows conniving Jews at the top to co-opt a very large population (who are "well-meaning" people) to support their "evil" works.
On the other hand, those who reject the lies of the Jews hijacking of Christianity, have the potential of falling into the other pit. Satan loves that too! People who are wise enough to see through the Jews' lies, then associate Jews with corrupt Christianity, and thereby reject the Bible (God's Word) as well! The fault here is NOT Jack's denunciation of "religion," it is his denunciation of God's Word, which is a severe and dangerous trap to fall into. This underlined statement serves as the primary value of this entire blog entry. This is the trap, that I fear is the one which will ensnare even the brightest (Libertarian-minded) people out there! Reread Romans 1:22 (as I posted above)!
Be well aware that Satan is the central figure here. Today, the Jews are his Number 1 agents. They rejected Jesus, and so God is allowing them to have their hay day...to have the world! The Jews chose "mammon" (money) & the world over Jesus. That's what they now have. Jews arrogantly behave as if they are still living in the Old Covenant. They continue to enslave the goyim, which God would have allowed in the Old Covenant. Yet, even with all of God's favoritism of the Jews at that time, He was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Jews, who were NOT living according to the true nature of God. That was evident since the times of Moses and since God brought the Jews out of Egypt. The Jews grew very decadent and wicked! The Old Testament (& the New Testament) provides full evidence of that fact. That is why God saw the need to send His Son Jesus. He intended to show the Jews how to live in a Godly manner, so that the Jews could then serve as a "light" unto the goyim! However, that did NOT happen. The Jews rejected Christ and crucified His body. At that point, God destroyed the Old Covenant, and brought in a new one to the goyim. 70 AD marks the point where God would remove the Old Covenant from the Jews, and that is when He destroyed their place of worship! Amazingly, God has not allowed Jews to rebuild a temple in it's place! Most certainly, Jews have the military power and means to rebuild the temple, but for some mysterious reason, a rebuilt temple has not yet occurred. Jews can run the entire world, but they cannot even have a small little temple in the Old City of Jerusalem! Truly amazing! My only conclusion to such a phenomenon is that God is allowing Jews the right (in today's world) to run the world, but He is NOT allowing them the satisfaction of His endorsement of their Christ-hating religion which is Judaism! In summary, I urge well-meaning "truthers" to re-examine their position that the Bible is merely Jewish propaganda. Even though there are many parallel concepts between the Old Testament and the New Testament, I suggest that unbelievers start off by reading the New Testament, because that is the one which speaks directly to the goyim of today. Also, I've written a book on Bible interpretation, which is Part 1 (or 30%) of this book. The other 70% of it covers survival topics, prepper topics, computer security, physical security, and a number of other topics. Those who read the Bible need to understand context. And sadly, the "religions" and "churches" out there do a poor job of it. The proof of this statement is in the pudding! Look at America today. Jack eloquently made that point reference the damage that Christian "religions" have inflicted in America! Remember, however, that the Bible (God's Word) is everlasting and will never die (ref: Matthew 24:35).
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:35 NASB)
Yet, "religions" are now on their death bed! Don't allow your soul to go with them!
There are many out there who proclaim to be a Christian, but is it the case that all those who proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Savior are indeed "saved?" I believe such is not the case. Many self-proclaiming Christians will perish or will suffer eternally in hell. Jesus made this very clear in Matthew 7. There is more to being a real Christian than just the words we speak or proclaim.
21 “Not
everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ (Matthew 7:21-23 NASB)
It is the case that all who are real Christians do proclaim that Jesus is God come in human flesh. That is a requirement.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; (1 John 4:2 NASB)
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:23 NASB)
It is also a requirement that each Christian understand that we are saved by faith and grace, not by works alone. (Catholics and Christian Judaizers fail to understand this concept)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB)
God's gift of grace is given to those who have faith in Him. And that is the ONLY way any one of us can do ANY "good" at all! But, there is more...
14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. 18 But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.25 In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. (James 2:14-26 NASB)
Even some "reformed" Christians ignore this point, but it is what it is. "Faith" without good "works" is dead. As real Christians, we are beholden to God's Commandments and to His Word. We must do good works fully knowing that we are only capable of doing such if we have faith and if God gives us His gift of grace.
Thus, if we put the above concepts together, a real Christian fits this profile:
1. Expresses in words that Jesus is God come in human flesh, and that He is Lord and Savior.
2. Realizes that we are saved through faith, and fully dependent upon God's gift of grace. Without God's grace, we are incapable of doing any good works. 3. Realizes that faith without works is dead. That is, there must be a congruency between the words we speak (i.e., that Jesus is God come in human flesh) and the actions that we take (i.e. our "works").
As a digression, I should also emphasize the importance of not Judaizing. The New Testament is crystal clear on this point. Read "The New Testament is CRYSTAL clear about Judaizing & Judaism!" 25%+ (or 70 Million+) Americans (in the United States) have gone against the New Testament to not adopt the ways of Judaism. And yet, that is exactly what has happened. These self-proclaiming Christians can easily proclaim that "Jesus is God come in human flesh," but then take actions ("works") which blatantly violate God's Word. They caste their support for an apostate nation (Israel) and for the apostate Internationalist Jews who run murderous wars in the Middle East. The incongruency between "words" and "works" is indeed evident. And, the reason there is an incongruency is because these "self-proclaiming" Christians do NOT have God's gift of grace. They are blind and incapable of doing good "works" or anything pleasing to God. Could it be that Jesus will turn His back on such types stating "I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS."? What I speak is not popular, but it serves as a wake up call for all self-proclaiming Christians to reexamine their "works." All of us who proclaim Jesus as God come in human flesh, and all of us who then do "works" in blatant violation of His Word, are in a serious bind. We need to pray to God and ask Him for His gift of grace so that we are capable of doing what is pleasing to Him! You might just then notice subsequent changes in the actions that you take on a day to day basis. Only then can you truly awaken and do what is pleasing to Him, and be saved!
The information in this blog entry comes as no surprise to many of my readers, but I just wanted to address the issue of taking the Lord's Name in vain. What does this mean? To me, it means using God's Name or Jesus' Name in a manner that is frivolous or in sudden response to a negative (or even a positive) event. Yet, Jewish-run Hollywood has put out numerous films particularly over the last three decades, which "normalizes" the act of saying "Jesus Christ!" or "God Damn it!" or worse - "Jesus f-n Christ!" and the list goes on. Even films like "Superman," "Back to the Future," and "Top-Gun" featured the constant use of Jesus' Name. And today, the taking of the Lord's Name continues at an accelerated pace. I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of a situation where the Jews who proclaim to observe the Torah (and the "Ten Commandments") hypocritically and repeatedly violate the 3rd Commandment (and all the other ones as well). The Old Testament states the following:
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. (Exodus 20:7 NASB)
And the New Testament reiterates the Third Commandment (in Exodus 20:7) by stating the fact that we shall not swear or make false vows, and to do so is sin. When using His Name, we shall not do so lightly.
33 “Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, ‘You shall notmake false vows, but shall fulfill yourvows to the Lord.’34 But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,35 or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.37 But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil. (Matthew 5:33-37 NASB)
As I have stated in previous blog entries, nine of the original "Ten Commandments" of Moses have been reiterated in the New Testament. The only one that is not is the Fourth Commandment regarding the "observance of days -- Sabbath, which Jesus fulfilled." Read more about that topic in my previous entry called "Walter Veith discusses SDA Eschatology."
Yet, the Jews who run Hollywood continue to violate God's Word and they continue to brainwash the mindless goyim to violate His Word. A blogger by the name of "NWO Intel Briefing" cited a Bertrand Russell quote regarding the power of Hollywood:
Witness Bertrand Russell's thoughts on this:
"The great majority
of young people in almost all civilized countries derive their ideas of
love, of honour, of the way to make money, of the importance of good
clothes, from the evenings spent in seeing what Hollywood thinks good
for them. I doubt whether all the schools and churches combined have as
much influence as the cinema upon the opinions of the young in regard to
such intimate matters as love and marriage and money-making. The
producers of Hollywood are the high-priests of a new religion." (The Scientific Outlook, p.158) (Source link: http://nwointelreport.blogspot.com/2010/01/hollywood-and-third-commandment.html)
Notice how Bertrand Russell discusses a "new religion" and how he paints Hollywood as the "controllers" (or "high-priests") of this brainwashing machine. Russell was definitely a shill for the Jewish elite! I discussed him in my own published book as well.
Thus, the programming to take the Lord's Name in vain works like this:
The programming is to turn the name "Jesus Christ" into a curse word by
providing a repetitive negative association. Whenever the viewer hears
His name in a film these days it is always in response to events such
as: seeing a dead body, something disgusting, bad news, anger, shock,
and suchlike. This negative association is "downloaded" into the Alpha
state viewer's unconscious operating system, so that, later, when the
person encounters a negative situation in their own life, they too will
misuse the Lord's name.
The blogger above did an excellent job of exposing what the Jewish elites of Hollywood are doing. They attempt to link the name of "Jesus Christ" with negative associations. Anything that is "negative" in the minds of the sheeple elicit a profane response! That my friends is a violation of God's Commandments, and that is exactly what the wicked Jews who run Hollywood want!
Will you be a mindless Zombie of whom God will likely destroy, or do YOU desire to be one of His chosen? Those who pick the later just might receive God's gift of grace! That is the ONLY way anyone can be saved.
By the way, there is a online petition called Tell "Hollywood" Jesus is not a swear word. I thought I would make this link available for those wanting to take political action. There are other actions you can take as well. Be creative in your fight against the Jewish controllers who not only want your body and mind, but your soul as well!
Competition is a way of life all over the world. It is the fuel that
keeps democracy running. By definition competition involves rivalry, a
contest and opposition. It involves striving for the same object
against another person. Is that the way a Christian should follow?
Not just the act of competing, but the actual attitude of competition
is wrong. The word “competition” is nowhere to be found in the Bible,
but the attitude of competition is roundly condemned in God’s word.
Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong always taught that we should have the
attitude of cooperation, not competition—a teaching supported by the
biblical instruction that “we dare not make ourselves of the number, or
compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring
themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are
not wise” (II Cor. 10:12).
There is no better definition of the attitude of competition than
that. When you really study it, you see competition has everything to
do with comparing yourself with somebody else, measuring yourself by
somebody else and trying to outdo somebody else. It happens at beauty
pageants and sports contests, in the business world and political
campaigns.
This verse plainly tells us to avoid all these behaviors, yet
competition is at the foundation of today’s civilization. This attitude
and practice is cultivated from birth and highly glorified as a
character trait.
Victory at what cost?
“Define your enemy and crush him,” some advocate today. “Rip them
up, tear them up,” goes the cheerleader’s chant at football games. That
attitude leads to trying to win at all cost, the results of which fill
the sports news each day. Baseball players, and other athletes, put all
kinds of chemicals in their bodies, with unknown long–term
side–effects, so they can hit a ball farther or pedal a bicycle faster.
A girls’ high school basketball coach in Texas has his players run up
the score against their less–skilled opponents, eventually beating them
100–0. A football player chooses to launch himself at an opponent,
tensing his body up and using it as a weapon, in the hopes of “sending a
message.” Ryan Clark, a member of the 2009 Super Bowl–winning Steelers
team, did just that against Ravens receiver Willis McGahee in the AFC
championship game in January 2009. Clark later said, “The biggest thing
I’m proud of is not flinching. You get to the point of attack and you
have to have the mentality of ‘It’s me or you. One of us has to go
down.’…there was a point when I could have stopped and waited and tried
to tackle him. But sad to say I just closed my eyes and said, ‘I’ll
wake up when I hit the ground.’” The players collided helmet to helmet,
and were both knocked out in the play. McGahee had to be stretchered
off the field and hospitalized.
The more you study this attitude of competition, the more you can see
that the world has lost its way. When someone is described as
“hard–hitting” or “playing to win,” that is seen as a compliment. These
are valued character traits, sought after and applauded in this world.
But it means he really wants someone else to lose! Why is that supposed to be a good thing?
Does God want us to have a “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only
thing” attitude? Compare that approach with the admonition found in
Philippians 2:2–4: “Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded,
having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be
done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each
esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own
things, but every man also on the things of others.”
Likemindedness is unity—the attitude of cooperation. In other
words, we care for others and we try to help them. This leads to what
should be our goal: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus” (v. 5). The mind of Christ involves esteeming others better than
yourself and looking out for each other. You cannot fit competition
anywhere in there.
When we cultivate the attitude of humility and cooperation, we no
longer try to beat an opponent, thus proving our superiority over them.
Will this attitude of cooperation bring about an inferior performance?
Will it produce mediocrity? No! In actual fact, it leads to achieving
excellence, and helping others to do so as well.
No comparison
The right mindset is this: Do your personal best. If you do,
you are a winner and do not have to measure performance against anyone
else’s. God’s word says it this way: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest”
(Ecc. 9:10). If we all do everything we do with all our might, we do
not need to figure out some way to win at all cost, whether it is in a
business venture or in a game.
The whole point of playing a game is to do your best and have fun.
When you replace the attitude of competition with one of cooperation,
not only are you going to do your best, but you will help others to do
their best too. Then it is more fun for everyone.
In a basketball game, the attitude of cooperation would mean that if
the other team makes a shot, you say, “That was a great shot.” If
somebody is driving toward the bucket for a layup, you do not foul him
to keep him from laying it up. There will not be any in–your–face
celebrations and taunting. Everyone will be included, and there will be
no ball hogging. The attitude of cooperation does away with the
pursuit of personal glory and makes us team players. We all like to
play and work with a team player, so why not be team players ourselves?
If we have the attitude of cooperation and esteeming others better
than ourselves and not comparing ourselves among ourselves, but doing
everything we do with all our might—that will always take us down the
road of cooperation and of achieving excellence.
However, if we have the attitude of I’m going to win no matter what
and that’s all that counts—I am going to outdo you, I am going to be
prettier than you, stronger than you, faster than you, smarter than you,
and I am going to end up on top—that is the attitude of competition.
That takes us down the wrong road leading to pain and crushing
disappointment, sooner or later. Yet that is the attitude you see
everywhere today.
But is it practical?
Now, some might say, “Well, if we shouldn’t compete, how can we bid
on a job?” You simply go and bid on the job. You are not trying to
finagle in under your opponent. You do not even consider him an
opponent. Research the job, consider what you can do and decide on the
best bid you can put in. What would your bid be if you were the only
one offering?
The same applies to purchasing a house. There might be five people
lined up to buy this house. You are not trying to figure out what they
are doing and then outdo them. You go and make your offer.
In other words, whatever we do, whether it is just having fun in a
game, or bidding on a job, or carrying out our responsibilities, if we
think about the attitude of cooperation and doing everything with all
our might and not comparing ourselves with somebody else, we are on the
right track.
God never competes
Do not allow the wrong attitude to develop. Nothing that we do
should ever be based on the attitude and practice of competition.
God never competes. Jesus Christ never competes. You do not find
competition among the angels or among God’s true and humble servants.
That attitude originated with the god of this world, Satan the devil:
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou
hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights
of the clouds; I will be like the most High” (Isa. 14:12–14).
Satan wanted to become a competitor with the Great God! He wanted to
become like Him and even superior to Him. As the god of this world,
His attitude permeates his system, his civilization, his institutions.
And it is considered a strength. But the Bible teaches a completely
different approach—the attitude of cooperation.
Some scriptures seem to imply competition among Christians: “Behold, I
come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown” (Rev. 3:11). Does this mean we are vying against others for
position and authority in the Kingdom? Absolutely not. There isn’t
anybody who can take your crown from you. If you get lackadaisical,
start drifting and fall away, then you will lose your crown. That
responsibility will then be given to someone else to carry out.
A different standard
Our reward and position in the Kingdom of God is based on what we do
with what we have. This is the godly principle that Jesus Christ
follows in administering our future: “But he that knew not, and did
commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For
unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to
whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more” (Luke
12:48).
We must do the best we can with what we have because that is the
basis on which God judges us. It is not who is the “best” by some
physical standard: “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge
righteous judgment” (John 7:24). So, the bottom line in what God cares
about and how God reaches His final conclusion about people is not based
on competition at all, but on the attitude of cooperation and what is
on the inside. Are you doing everything you can with what you have?
Are you doing it all with all your might? Are you caring for others
along the way? What is your character like? What is your attitude? In
the final analysis, that is what really counts, and in the end, that
right attitude will completely replace the attitude of competition.
That famous slogan, “Winning is not everything, it’s the only thing”
is dead wrong. A better way to put it is: Character is everything.
And character is all about the attitude of cooperation and has nothing
to do with the attitude of competition.
I just wanted to add a couple of my own points regarding the topic of "competition." Two points are this: (1) "Competition" is viewed as a traditionally "conservative" value. (2) The "competition" model used in America is more about "conformity" and "manipulation" than about anything that God would dictate in His Word.
To the first point, a "competitive" spirit is praised by conservatives who are either neo-cons or Libertarians (big or little "L"...makes no difference). Ayn Rand (and the numerous Jewish psychologists & philosophers behind her name) have deemed that "healthy competition" is a "good" and admirable trait among human beings and that such an attribute is a fully engrained and psychologically built into our psyche. Those who are evolutionists from the school of "Social Darwinism" will accept "competition" as an inarguable human trait, so "get used to it!" And for those of us who do not accept this "fact" (as they see it to be), are as good as pot-smoking hippies or socialists who have no rational concept of reality.
That being said, I guess many of these so-called conservatives would label Jesus as a hippie or a socialist as well! No where in the Bible (OT or NT) is there an admonition to acquire or to practice a "competitive" spirit. Rather, Jesus taught us to "love one another" and to work cooperatively with one another, not to engage in fierce competitive behavior! Bryce's essay above makes the case regarding that point.
What then is "conservative" about disobeying God's word, and engaging in behavior which violates the natural order which God created? For those wanting to gain a better understanding of what REAL "conservatism" is, I recommend that you read the following:
And, to my second point, it is my belief that "competition" is used by the Jewish elite to divide and conquer people at the yuppie (or slave labor) level! First, those who run large (most often Jewish-run) corporations (Fortune 1000), don't really want to hire "team players!" What they REALLY want is to hire "conformists"... i.e., those who will conform to a certain type of look, and who will "live in the pockets" of the fellow employees. The idea of hiring people who can actually "think for themselves" is a scary proposition for the (Jewish) CEOs and executives at the top. What they really want is for their employees to stab each other in the back, and for each to claw their way to their highest level of competence! That is, the highest level a goyim to be promoted to.
In my own experience, I have seen the misery of the work place (particularly in America and for American companies or organizations). British and European companies can and do feature some of the same issues as American companies, but my experiences overseas have been very different in that those people had a far more "cooperative" attitude, and that my friends is true "team work." Those who want to constantly "outshine" or to compete against me to make themselves "look good," while trying to make me "look bad" indeed makes for a miserable work environment! I've seen it time and again. And, it is this type of work environment that the Jewish corporate owners want to see! They keep us fighting each other while they continue laying people off while dumping more work (on each remaining employee). Further, they pay themselves bigger bonuses than we have ever seen in the previous fifty years!!!
There is no such thing as "healthy competition." There is only "healthy character" of which the Bible is the ONLY book which properly teaches such a concept! It is "character" which is MOST needed as a trait to make for a happier and psychologically healthier workplace, and world at large! This Godly paradigm is indeed a 180 degree shift from the Jewish satanic one so prevalent in America.
Sadly, I am not too optimistic about change in America, but by putting out my comments, it is my hope that people will become aware of the truth and then take steps to change themselves so that they may set the example for others! Only then might we have any hope for REAL change that actually makes the world a better place. Lastly, I should mention that any REAL change that is truly Godly requires God's gift of grace! You cannot change via your own personal power! You are weak. Only God can give you real strength for real change!
Update - September 13, 2013:
I just had to post the Dead Kennedys song - "Jock O Rama" which humorously pokes fun of the "competition" brainwashing which so pervades the American psyche! Enjoy!
Lyrics:
You really like gorillas? We've got just the pet for you It's the way you're forced to act To survive our schools
Make your whole life revolve around sports Walk tough-don't act too smart Be a mean machine Then we'll let you get ahead
Jock-O-Rama-Save my soul We're under the thumb of the Beef Patrol The future of America is in their hands Watch it roll over Niagara Falls Pep rally in the holy temple And you're forced to go Masturbate en masse With the favored religious cult Cheerleaders yell-"Ra Ra Team" From the locker room parades the prime beef When archaeologists dig this up They'll either laugh or cry
Jock-O-Rama-On the brain Redneck-a-thon drivin' me insane The future of America is in their hands Watch it roll over Niagara Falls Unzip that old time religion On the almighty football field Beerbellies of all ages Come to watch the gladiators bleed "Now boys, this game ain't played for fun You're going out there to win How d'ya win? Get out there And snap the other guy's knee!"
Beat 'em up! Beat 'em up! Ra Ra Ra Snap those spinal cords Ha Ha Ha
The star quarterback lies injured Unconscious on the football field Looks like his neck's been broken Seems to happen somewhere every year
His mom and dad clutch themselves and cry Their favorite son will never walk again Coach says, "That boy gave a hundred percent What spirit What a man"
But who cares? Games over-Let's go get wasted man To the 7-11, to the liquor store Let's party all night and party some more
Another Trans-Am Wrapped itself around a telephone pole "I ain't drunk, officer I just fell gettin' out of my car"
Don't worry about it, son We were that way when we were young You've got all the skills To make a damn good businessman
Jock-O-Rama-that's the law Come lick the butts of the Beef Patrol If the future of America is handed to them Watch it roll over Niagara Falls
I have written previous blog entries on the topic of Judaizing, but I feel a need to do yet another one and to actually post some Scripture to show just how crystal clear the Bible is on this critical issue. There are numerous postings about Judaizing in the New Testament, but I am going to post just one of them for the reader's own analysis from the book of Titus, which was a letter written by the Apostle Paul to Titus who was left on the Island of Crete to organize the Church there at that time. Thus, the guidance Paul gave was intended to instruct Titus on the qualifications which leaders in Christ would need to exhibit in order to serve as proper examples for all others in the Church.
Titus’s Ministry in Crete
5 The reason I left you in Crete was to set right what was left undone and, as I directed you, to appoint elders in every town: 6 one who is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithfulchildren not accused of wildness or rebellion. 7 For an overseer,
as God’s administrator, must be blameless, not arrogant, not
hot-tempered, not addicted to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money, 8 but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, righteous, holy, self-controlled, 9 holding to the faithful message as taught, so that he will be able both to encourage with sound teaching and to refute those who contradict it. 10 For there are also many rebellious people, full of empty talk and deception, especially those from Judaism. 11 It
is necessary to silence them; they overthrow whole households by
teaching what they shouldn’t in order to get money dishonestly. 12 One of their very own prophets said,
Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.
13 This testimony is true. So, rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith 14 and may not pay attention to Jewish myths and the commands of men who reject the truth.
15 To
the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and
unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, and disqualified for any good work. (Titus 1:5-16 HCSB)
Indeed, those holding leadership in the Church were NOT to be Judaizers, plain and simple. Paul warns in verse 10 that there are "many rebellious people" who are "full of empty talk and deception" and that these people are particularly those "from Judaism." Read just that verse at least ten times. Then read verse 13 & 14, which states that we are to sharply rebuke those who deviate from "truth" and who "pay attention to Jewish myths" and to all those who "reject the truth." Just these three verses alone serve as absolutely critically direct verses against Judaizing!
However, let us not overlook the other verses surrounding the three verses above! Paul not only tells us what NOT to be -- i.e., a Judaizer. He also describes the Godly attributes that Church leaders should be, so that they may set the example for all others in the Church. And what are those Godly attributes? The answer can be found in verse 7 & 8. We must be "blameless," "not arrogant," "not hot-tempered," "not addicted to wine," "not a bully," "not greedy for money," (verse 7), "but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, righteous, holy, self-controlled,"...(verse 8). That my friends is a concise definition of "Godliness!" Can you imagine what the world would be like if all people were to take on these attributes? Now let us look at the inverse of verses 7 & 8. Those who are arrogant, hot-tempered, addicted to alcohol, bullies, and greedy for money are EXACTLY perfect terms to define today's worldly Jews who subscribe to Judaism, and who are "mammon" (or money) worshipers. Those who have worked for Jewish employers know exactly how rude and despicable they can be. A number of them I have worked for have "split personalities" where they are "nice" one minute and then absolutely rude and vile the next minute. It is that very (wicked) attribute that no doubt earns them positions of "power" and "influence." Why? Because, so many cowardly goyim submit to people who are rude and vile and view them as "powerful" and worthy of respect! As the old (Jewish-promoted) saying goes, "nice guys finish last." Such a statement is a truthful statement in *this* world. The (most) wicked rise to the top. And who is on top of this world? Jews, that's who! Those who want to become the "kings" of this world, must behave as Jews do. They must be more arrogant, more hot-tempered, more pleasure seeking, and they must be bullies who will do anything to satisfy their greedy desires for money! Those seeking riches and wealth in this world do not need to attend Tony Robbins firewalking sessions. Just follow the way of the worldly Jew, and convert to Judaism! You may indeed become rich too!
And to top it off, what else does a Jew do to justify all of their wickedness? Read verse 15 & 16. The Jew professes to "know God," "but they deny Him by their works." (Verse 16) And, that is the hypocrisy of the Jew being fully exposed by Paul. The Jews of Paul's day are exactly as they are today. No different!
Why then does 1/4 of the ENTIRE American population (70+ Million) continue in their Judaizing ways? Why do they insist upon living as Jews do, and why do they continue their support for an apostate nation (Israel) which was built in 1948 and based upon Judaism, which Paul so adamantly warned against in his letter to Titus? Because those who "stand with the nation of Israel" also invariably "stand with Judaism" as well. That my friends is Judaizing, and Paul takes a CRYSTAL clear stance against it! It is time for Christians to wake up, so that they not end up in the same wagon that so many Jews have been in, lest they face the same judgment the Christ-hating Jews shall receive!
I was reflecting over my own life, all the times I sat in job interviews or in situations where I had to negotiate for money (or other benefits), and it occurred to me that much of my negotiating took place with rich Jewish business owners or executives. On top of that, I have heard stories from those who are closest to me, who have had similar experiences to mine. And, there is a parallel pattern between their experiences and mine!
I will speak specifically from the point-of-view of a "job seeker" seeking to work for a (Jewish-run) business or from the perspective of a "Consultant" seeking to do contract work for a larger "(Jewish-run) business. I have done both, and I should also emphasize that if you live in a large city in the United States, a high percentage of successful businesses are run by Jews at the top. That's the environment we live in.
In nearly all cases, when seeking fulltime work or contract work, I've noticed how so many of these (Jewish) owners negotiate. They are very quick to ask me how "cheap" I am. That is, they say, "So, what is your hourly rate or salary expectation?" Often, this question is dropped early on, and it is before they have even fully discussed what they are willing to offer and what they need done! In the few times I've been fortunate to deal with a goyim-run employer, the negotiation usually began with the employer offering me a "salary/benefit" package upfront! And then the negotiating went from that point forward. However, whenever I have dealt with Jewish-run businesses, their tactic (in order to maintain TOTAL CONTROL) was to mandate that I give them "a number" (i.e., an hourly rate or salary rate) even before knowing all that the job entails. So, the Jewish way is this: If I guess the "right number," I get the job. If I refuse to give a number, I am not even considered for the job. And, if I guess too high, I am refused in lieu of someone who will do their underpaid work for less! Another example might even be prior to even meeting with a prospective employer, who places an ad stating that those who do not list a "salary expectation" will not even be considered. That is, the goyim is expected to state how "cheap" they are even before they have met and discussed what the job specifically entails. Why on earth would I want to agree to work for $70K per year, if the level and responsibility of work should offer $120K? Welcome to the world of Jewish-style negotiating where they nearly always place the ball in your court to give them the "right number" of how "cheap" you are! And don't worry, the Jews who run the media have already turned their despicable practices into "common employer practice" via Yahoo News, and many others out there. "You" are "crazy" if you don't like these practices they are using! How can you fight back? More goyim need to begin mandating that (Jewish) employers give a tight salary range of what they are offering for the job they are trying to fill. A sample range should look like this: $45K to $50K, or $75K to $80K, or $120K to $130K. Most goyim-run employers have done this for me, because I mandated it, but Jewish ones (using Talmudic-style control), rarely tell you what they are offering. They would rather sit on their fat ass and waste your precious time and still come out on top! Don't let them get away with this behavior!
That my friends, is how Jewish-style negotiating works. Should you ever encounter a negotiation like the ones described above, you can be sure that the people you are dealing with are Jews or they are those who think and behave like them. You are encountering a Jewish negotiating tactic, so recognize it for what it is...a way to screw you - the job applicant!
If you can avoid working for a Jewish-run business, do so at all costs. Certainly, this blog entry is written from a subjective point-of-view...that of mine as well as those closest to me. Certainly, there might be exceptions to some of the "rules" I've mentioned above. If you are lucky, you may deal with a Jew that does business in an honorable fashion, but don't count on it! Forewarned is forearmed!
