God {} only wants to love you, and be in relationship with you, and heal you. He wants you to feel good about yourself, and have love and trust for other people.

I think [most people are] confused on who the bad guy is.

Paradise Lost talks about all these things, how Satan’s rebellion was based solely around his free will, and that he could fall in the first place. But, the fact remains, that God, foreknowing the fall of man, set forth immediately to redeem us. And that’s through His Son Christ Jesus.

Maybe God knew He made the world a little too broken, and wanted to take it upon Himself?

Work on the Bible’s Historicity

I’ve looked it over, studying the entire Bible for 20 years, and looking at its historical context—it’s all sound. I actually even understand some of the contentions you’ll use—like you’re talking about “Tyre” with the geography bit—but I know if I dig deeply enough, the Bible’s always sound.

So, just to go through each of your points:

I know the background, and have written a lot about it. It comes from a man named Abraham, and a tribe called the Hebrews, who found God, and migrated out of Mesopotamia, into Egypt, and then into Canaan, and the linguistic tracings prove this in scripture.

The contradictions are not thematic, and that’s all that matters. God’s not a pedant.

There are no errors, the historical provenance of the Bible is actually very strong, and I’ve got an entire answer that proves that, with thousands of pieces of evidence corroborating scripture. Undeniable proof, too.

The legends come from the Patriarchs, and actually your Epic of Gilgamesh proves that, too, that it’s not actually Gilgamesh who tells the flood story but Unuptashem, which possibly shows that the author met one of the Ark Travelers at a tavern, and was inspired to write the epic. Not to mention, the scriptures show contact with Mesopotamia, as they should, in both law and theme, as Abraham was an Amorite, that’s well documented in the Bible.

The forgeries come from Mesopotamia, not the Bible. The Bible comes from the original manuscripts of the Patriarchs, the one coming from Abraham (El) and the other coming from Jacob in Egypt (Yahweh) and we have evidence to corroborate this fact.

I’ve studied the academic theories more than you have—trust me—and they’re so close to discovering the Bible’s true, it’s literally one discovery that’s already made, that has to break into the mainstream, and it’s all over for your High Criticism and Documentary hypothesis.

A Meditation on Objective Morality

If all humans disappeared, of course murder would be wrong. That's the sum of a story, is taking actions, and showing their consequences. Aesop and Grimm's are impossible, but the consequences are always true. That's generally why we read and write stories. Consider, a sausage cannot cook dinner, but if he goes out into the wild and dies, nobody can cook dinner for the household, and the other characters burn down the house. It's true, even for those pretend creations. The truth is we all have our work to do, either great or small, and not doing it leads to catastrophic failure. That's true, even if humans don't exist, because the consequences are still real.

I mean you can reduce it down to "Well the creations mimeses human behavior", yes, but that mimesis tells us something real, if it's done right. Morality is objective, it's just situational. It's based in consequences and healthy affect, and I think Christ shines so bright because His ethic proves objectively true if you are serious about studying it. You apply it holistically, it makes more sense than anything any of the other religions say.

I don't like this Christianity that just goes in circles and says, "Because God says so." Why does God say so? He has a reason.

On The Lineage of the Prophets

Okay, so actually, the tradition of the Bible dates back to Neolithic Times—as the Book of Job comes from that era.

There was a Patriarchal line, which kept record of the stories, such as the Garden of Eden or the Flood or Tower of Babel, which was inherited to Mesopotamia through Abraham and Shem. And Abraham codified the Law—which Moses would use in the Torah—which you can find in Hammurabi's code. And also the stories in Genesis where given through two codexes, one from Jacob’s line and the other from Abraham and Isaac’s. El from Mesopotamia and Yahweh from Egypt.

So, this Patriarchal line was preserved, and their traditions, through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and codified by Moses around 1300bc, where he merged the manuscripts, and took the Laws of Abraham and made them into the Books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus, with a priesthood. And he was given the Ten Commandments directly from God. And the books of Moses were a Polemic against Sin.

Then, Christ came into the World, and abolished the Law and Testament of Moses—because it was not good—and gave us a pure law of Conscience, as God entered into the World in the Flesh of a Man, and died by crucifixion, and was buried, and raised on the third day, and ascended into heaven, where He is seated next to God, ready to come back and judge the living and the dead.

On Banning Rainbow Flags in Texas

I don’t know if I like this. Because at what point does bringing a Bible to a classroom become a crime? Or saying a prayer? Just let the rainbow flags alone. They’re not the worst thing in the world, and I kind of like them. A solid, anti-Homosexuality Christian here, but do unto your neighbor as you would have them do to you. It’s not something depraved. It’s just a rainbow. And we ought to have mercy on them, as we ourselves want to obtain mercy. And preach the full gospel of repentance of sin, and teach them their sins are going to lead them to hell.

Transgenderism needs to be banned from schools, though, as that actually hurts people. A rainbow flag does not. At least it shouldn’t. Like you wouldn’t allow students to copulate in the school, why would you let them mutilate themselves and go into public Locker Rooms and expose themselves? It’s a line that you cross, from ideas to action.

Just like with Christianity, you can cross that line. It should lead you to bold and good actions in Christ Jesus, of Charity, Mercy and Good Will. And also teaching truth. It’s like, I’ve read many Martyrdoms over the past two months, and you have to realize there’s two Christians in that room. The one is killing the other for a difference of belief. And every single one of those martyrs, they preach on mercy, forgiveness and truth. And every single one of those Inquisitors wants to kill them over something as banal as baptism. Understand those things, because that’s the reality we’re all facing. Not a single one of those martyrs were actually killed for their baptism, either. It was the faith their baptism represented, which is purity, truth, love and goodness. They found the Catholic Church was Antichrist at that time, and teaching people that they could sin. That’s what led them to get baptized, was they coveted righteousness. And that’s the only thing you ought to covet, is the LORD’s righteousness, and be purified through a good conscience in Christ Jesus.

I also have to say, the Inquisitors knew their Bibles, too, and had perfect Theology. Theology isn’t what saves you.

John Bunyan’s Struggle With Satan’s Blasphemy

Satan has a habit of attacking us wherever we are. He whispered blasphemies in Bunyan's mind, and caused him great distress. Just stay fast to God, as that's one of the Devil's vilest tricks, to try and push you away from the LORD. Is to make you feel like you have committed the unpardonable sin, or blasphemed, and He will try to do this, in order to cause a rift between you and God. Do not fall for it, or fall into the temptation.

For Christians Getting Chain Letters or Bad Videos on YouTube

You need to cleans your feed if you're getting these videos. Watch Taylor Alessia, What Do You Meme, Living Waters, Off the Kirb Ministries, also watch sermons by Jay Vernon McGee, David Wilkerson, watch Wretched, Exploration Bible, Sean McDowell, Ruslan KD, Mike Winger. Just watch videos like that straight through, and it should clean your feed of that nonsense. And try not to click on those kinds of videos, as then the algorithms won't suggest them to you. God bless! Some smaller channels are Colin Miller and Lion of Fire Ministries. Oh and Testify. Can't forget them. Christian Sermons and Audio Books is great too, and there's a great hymnery on YouTube you can find through my playlists. I also like C. S. Lewis Insights.

YouTube Comment (With the Coke Discrimination)

I don't get it. Why does Coke do things like this? Companies need to be fined for doing this, as that's an abridgement of free speech. And it's also religious discrimination. There's no reason this stuff should happen. Even as a publisher, they're allowing people to publish freely, they don't get to choose what does or doesn't go on their cans. They really do, need to be fined for this, and heavily. Maybe a class action lawsuit, too.

You'd starve if you boycotted all these products. Someone just needs to initiate a lawsuit. I tried 5 years ago, but the lawyer didn't understand what I meant, and just never got back to me. I saw this coming a mile away, when YouTube and Google were censoring.

I have no clout, but if I can give anyone the idea, go for it. I'd love to join in. And I know, if I kept beating my head against it, it'd just give me a concussion and possibly make it worse. So I switched tactics. Which is just blogging and commenting about it, raising awareness at grass roots levels it's happening.

Which, they've censored a lot of what I've said. Like, I just don't have authority to be taken seriously by anyone. That's always been my problem, is I seem weak and am an easy target for people. So, I'm just like a conscience, really. Someone will take up, and I'll join right in. This is my stone.

And to be clear, it was because I wasn't suing for money. I wanted to do a 20 dollar lawsuit on principle. I don't care to make a ton of money that way. I have published books, that's how I want to make money. They should have helped me, and let me sue. Because to be frank, I don't want their money, and they'd just be arguing the principle of censorship, and not a huge lawsuit.

It was well calculated, but Lawyers want money.

Anyway... Like I didn't want to distract from the issue, you understand? They could have made it about me trying to make a ton of money off them, 20 dollars, it's just the issue of censorship.

Response to Pope Francis

Brother, repent of this sin. Before you lead billions to their eternal punishment.

All religions are a path to god? Including the ones like Juggernaut, where people throw themselves under the wheel of an idol, and commit suicide? Even to this day? Or the Shaman in India who come down off the mountains, and are worshipped as gods with massive revelry and ecstasy, but are truly demonically possessed? Or the Greeks who used to buy child prostitutes and have uncensored sex on stage, kill Christians in Gladiatorial arenas, and orgies in veneration to the gods? The Manichean Taoists, Zoroastrians or Shintos, who make Satan an equal god to good, and worship him with all manner of evil deeds? Or how about the Canaanites who ate their children? Or the Aztecs, who used to murder people at the tops of pyramids, and sell their victim's meat at the market? We're bequeathed with a world altered by Christianity. That's not true that all faiths are a path to God.

And some of the surviving faiths, all of them practice unlawful deeds. The Muslims tell their adherents to war with Jews, the Hindus tell their people to hate the lower castes, the Jews throw stones at vehicles on the Sabbath day--least of the offenses, but it's primitive. The Catholic Faith is one of the few bastions of True Christianity and True Creeds left. If you lead it astray into a faith other than the one handed down by the Apostolic Tradition, in Christ Jesus and His law, then you will essentially lead billions to their doom.

Repent, my friend. I am a friend to all Christians, and the deep mercy of Paul's epistles should be an encouragement to you, that no matter how far you've fallen, you can still get back up in Christ Jesus.

Repent I say, repent!

Creative Theology

It comes to my attention today, that everyone has creative theology. And you'd expect this to produce a sort of open mindedness in the church, rather than division--yet for religious matters, everyone divides perfectly. Yet, the one thing that nobody can tolerate these days, is creative theology.

There are men who are mad at Calvin for having personal revelation, men who are mad at Augustine for believing and speaking so eloquently, there are men who are mad at me, at Luther, at everyone but Aquinas it seems. And even then, there will probably be those who are angry with him, too.

I come to a story of a martyr I read in Theilman Van Braght's Martyr's Mirror, how an Anabaptist was killed by a Catholic Inquisitor. And the Anabaptist had bad Christology--and a few other bad doctrines--and the Inquisitor had perfect theology--so to speak, if ever you could, I found no fault in it.

And what ended up happening, was this Anabaptist was delivered unto death, and in there I saw the faith starkly. For, it was the Law that made the Anabaptist right, and his mercy, for on measures of Mercy, Forgiveness, and Love, the Anabaptist had in great measure a faith unlike anyone else in that room. While having bad Christology, he was saved by living the truth, and perishing for his belief in his baptism.

Was it the baptism that killed him? Satan will say it was. But, it's not the Baptism that killed this Anabaptist, but the confession of faith, and the truth, that his baptism represented the full measure of the Law in Christ, and for that a good man was put to death.

His last words were, "Are not the tares to be uprooted on the last days?" Speaking of Christian charity.

Therefore, we know the weightier matters of the law take precedent, as when Christ reigns on Earth for the Millennium, there will still be the other faiths dwelling among us, but He will reign, and He will cause it to rain or drought, and it seems like the Law is more specifically on God's heart than a few Theological trivia.

For if you say Augustine or Calvin or Luther or the Anabaptists in my book and their methodology and systematic theology are heresies, I say these are the true faith. Sir Thomas Moore and John Donne's Brother dying for the faith are as real as any Anabaptist's for it's the Mercy of the Faith that we die for. It's the truth of the Faith, while Satan uses the most cutting edge and splitting haired theories to kill us, it all falls into the fact that that's all nonsense. It is the law of God that gets the Anabaptist or Catholic Martyred, and their desire to live out the truth in Mercy and Love.

With that said, Theology hasn't been my primary focus as a Christian. My theology is the Athanasian, Apostle's and Nicene creed. I have no other deeper theology, and wherever I find true Christianity, there I have a friend, whether Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox, throughout all time and space. And that's my creed, that Theology is least important, and what we do with Christ, and how we live our lives in peace and mercy, and how misery attacks us so often for this, and no other reason. That is the faith I cling to.
