On Jordan Peterson

"You become a marionette" and are "harmless", that's kind of the definition of Meek. If he truly understood the Gospel, he'd realize the Meek are those who are saved. Those who are led around by a rope, and are two ton animals who could pull you anywhere if they just understood it, but they simply cannot. Jordan is a quintessential goat, leading sheep around the pasture, and butting them for the food in their stall. Sheep are shy animals, and only respond to the Shepherd's voice. No one else's. But they do follow around the goats sometimes, and take part in their mischief. What Jesus says about the Sheep and Goats, "They feed the homeless, they clothe the naked, they visit the widow, they visit the prisoner, they visit the sick." I got to say that's my religion... is compassion. Jordan's religion is like the Nietzsche version of Christianity. It's like a Greco-Hellenized version of Christianity, which isn't the right way of understanding it.

On Antichrist

[A]ntichrist will be rich--a trillionaire--he'll be wise, and he'll call himself son of Jesus, and he'll be raised from the dead, to accomplish his deception. And he'll be a powerful sorcerer, using what's holy to deceive the saints, like Simon Magus wanted to. And he'll oppose the Gospel everywhere, making himself to be King.

Philosophical Musing

Success is a crapshoot. So, if you have fortune, accept it, know it isn’t guaranteed, even by hard work or effort. You could be a Grandmaster, and live in penury, and be an amateur and a rich man.

So, if you have food, if you have shelter, and you have good friends, this is what life consists of. Don’t go looking for fortune, for as many as find fortune, there are one hundred men who cannot. Though seeking it day and night, they will never attain, and it would be better for them to work their measly day’s bread, than seek it.

If we desire fortunes beyond our scope, or to get rich, it can happen, but only with much effort, and tireless work. From morning until evening, work, and when the sun goes down, eat your heavenly bread, given to you by God. Yet, even then, there are men who work to the bone, and cannot attain riches enough for a square meal.

Therefore, understand this fact. Do not shirk work, or try to get rich through small efforts. The effort must be great, and the expectation small. For, a good meal, with spices, a loyal wife and your children of youth, and drink in your cup whenever you desire it… sweet drinks whenever you wish, and the cane sugar and the salt, and the spices, and daily meat… with wisdom and with charity... there is no better life than this. Do not seek beyond it.

Therefore, gather what you have before building the house, and do not enjoy the fruits of labor, until the task is done. And if your labor is wisdom and knowledge! Oh, what vexation! For the peoples do not love it, therefore you may be poor, or you may be rich. Keep to the task and know there is an end to all wisdom. When you have found it, you ought to look at the day laborer, and see there is a rich inheritance given by fathers, to work and have strong body, and be fed by the produce of the ground.

The Sword in Christianity

“So that it may be fulfilled, that I was surrounded by transgressors.” And then Peter said, “We have two swords,” and Christ said, “It’s enough.” And when Peter used it, Christ said, “If I willed it, I could command twelve legions of angels to come to my defense.” And when Peter struck the man’s ear off, Jesus healed him.

I don’t think that’s what that means, is that we need to go around like the wild West, initiating combat with people. The point being, the Apostles were sinners, and were called while being themselves chief transgressors. It was a testament for our salvation, that Christ was called to the transgressor, and those who’ve sinned, not to the self righteous. It’s not a call to sin. That’s a bad interpretation. Christ does not say that we’re allowed to sin, nor does He want unlawful combat. He also says, “If you slay with the sword, you must die by the sword. If you lead into captivity, you must be led into captivity.” Christ is clear, we’re not to kill with the sword. Rather, those who He surrounded Himself with, were all sinners, thieves, robbers, liars and scoundrels. Those are who he called, to be made righteous, and repent, and to cleave to Him.

Life’s Not a Game

 Life's not a game. So many people are forced to lose in this life, it's not even fair. {}. Like, you think about it, this is why there's Law. Because any thief, murderer or corrupt person could force you into a loss. And also why there's grace, because everyone makes bad moves in life. So, really, the judgment of God determines really what the outcome of man is. But, if there's no justice, there can be no peace, as those who have power, can ultimately stifle everyone who doesn't, by rigging the rules of the game. This is why the Bible's so brilliant, in that it's God's law, and that gives everyone a perfectly balanced Law, that destroys the corrupt and evil doer, and saves those whom God chooses. And considering that we're all wicked evildoers, God gives us power to call upon Him, and thereby be saved from this unfair life.

Letter to Trump

Dear,
Mr. President

You have a hard administration coming upon you. I have nothing to say. I voted for you. As Laban was told by God, "Say neither evil nor good to Jacob." I don't say you're Jacob, but in terms, I just have to say that you have a lot of big decisions coming up.

Just remember there will never be world peace.

Just remember you don't have to save the world.

Just remember you don't have to fix all the problems in life.

Do your job. 

There's nothing more I can say. 

Sincerely,
B. K. Neifert

The Daughter of Zion

She's going to give birth to Christ. She's not Christ. And She's the bearer of our spiritual inheritance, which is the Wisdom of Salvation, and is the City Zion. Be very careful with this{}. She's also a sinner like we are, as it says in Ezekiel, but she does not want to be. Christ is a part of her, in her ovaries right now. But, be very, very careful. The scripture's clear this can be a stumbling block. She's Hephzibah and Beulah. But not God. It's a mystery. None are found righteous enough among her sons, so she'll bring deliverance to herself, and therefore the whole world through her seed.

She'll be delivered of a manchild on that day, and give birth to a nation. And be delivered of a child, and He'll be taken into heaven, at the presence of the Dragon, and will return with 144,000 sealed, to slay the Dragon and False Prophet, and Beast and Antichrist at Armageddon and all the forces of evil. He will return with horns in his hand, and she will thresh with him, and beat the hills and destroy, too.

A Sermon About Mercy

There was once a man, who going on his way encountered a Mountain Lion, who fixed its jaws around his wrist. And the man struggled with it for minutes, and finally killed the beast by placing his foot upon its neck, and strangling its life out of it.

After retelling this encounter, the man wasn't pleased at what he had done. There wasn't fear, but rather a tender heart for the creature, that he had just killed a living animal, and that it was his life or the beast's. That the animal's life to him was that of a man's.

I think about this today, that when we go into battle like Samson, we don't immediately boast of our victories. As the lion is defeated, with honey in its chest, and we take and eat, and say "What is sweeter than honey, and stronger than a lion?"

Only compassion and mercy can do such a feat. The lion is out for blood, and the merciful warrior, the David, slays it without thinking to himself, "I now have a great victory of which to boast, and a great tooth in my belt, that I can show to all. I had slain the beast."

Rather, David says, "I had killed a beast, and it had the life of an animal, and was but an animals, and I slayed it with my spear, but I still, have mercy on this thing. For it is alive, and though violent and treacherous in all its ways, I still take no pleasure in killing it. Even when recalling it to many idle men, I don't champion it, or make it into my victory, for I had not wanted to kill the creature. It is not a good thing, by which I had done, but rather a necessity. And I mourn for it."

The Bible

I read it cover to cover, too, and find it absolutely brilliant. Was just reading Joseph’s story, and it was like being in ancient Egypt, just how you can read Joseph’s influenced by power and Egyptian culture. It also shows the Jews came from Egypt and Mesopotamia. The Bible’s our very first stories and laws, and then God breaking on the scene and flipping the script. It’s so important, as it is our first stories, our first laws and the history of God’s dealings with the human race. It’s witnesses who saw those things, too.
