“Black Lives Matter Exposed” – tied to international Communism, Palestinian terrorists, founded by Lesbian Marxists Posted on October 8, 2020 by Catholicism Pure & Simple H/t to Fr. John Zuhlsdorf What is “Black Lives Matter”?
“Seek and You Will Find Truth and Facts Prevail” Evil Destroys Itself! by Lawrence Morra I read this blog and watched the video very early today, but had to get back to it now due to circumstances. Beautifully done presentation of what the crux of the matter is with regard to all of the trouble in our cities and societies at large. Now we know that the inner sanctum of the Church is violated also, which coincides with the horrible condition of the US government that to me looks like chaos and on the verge of collapsing if the corruption continues. We know that Hillary Clinton, Soros, Obama and many other highly influential players have provided a glide slope into hell for this Nation “Of the People By the People and For the People” like nothing that’s ever been witnessed in its entire history! I knew we were looking at a much bigger problem when the radial “Squad” appeared on the scene and were wielding political influence in our National Government via Congress and being propped up by our evil MSM Democrat Party Machine that are working against, “We the People,” which is allowing some of the most vile and destructive forces to gain a foothold in our Republic, with one goal in mind; to destroy America the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, these “United States as One Nation under “God” the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible!” This has all been work of the antichrist movement and implemented by means of the many minions running rampant on earth! As we look around in the world we can plainly see how the leftist agenda has defiled and desecrated so many wholesome chaste or normal values of everyday life that have been tried and tested over the ages; let alone Holy Scriptures and their sacred teachings from God Himself! I see before me a world of carnage and decadent sin; full of hate and evil atrocities toward what is good, stacking up to the clouds; perhaps now an amplified version of what Moses observed when he came back down to the people from Mount Zion (Sinai) with the Ten Commandments; as they worshiped the gilded or Golden Calf sinning like heathen banshees during the time Moses was away speaking with God! Exodus 24:16 “And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.” Isaiah 4:5 “Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a canopy.”
I’ve been inspired to reblog this excellent article presented by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf via this wonderful blog site, Catholicism Pure & Simple! God bless and keep you. Amen. Brother in Christ Jesus, Lawrence Morra

“End Time Antichrist Movement”
by Lawrence Morra
In this supposed Pope I don’t see a peacemaker at all but instead a destructor, who seeks to lead astray more of the flock in an already tumultuous growing more chaotic world. The most prominent thing I see in all of this is Francis inserting himself into the political realm with nefarious world leaders who in concert are constructing the final or “End Time” atheistic antichrist movement, and by so doing they attempt in proxy or spirit, to crucify Jesus again as the ultimate blasphemy; in a world which has committed every filthy sin or transgression against God imaginable; going so far as murdering on an industrial scale the precious innocent unborn children of God; and then often times to even desecrate their bodies, some are even satanic ritualistic slayings! Francis leads the parade to hell!
All of the sincere genuine prayers of the faithful in unison with the saints and the “blessed mother Mary;” forestalls God’s wrath upon mankind in these final hours. Thus these prayers are providing a final window of opportunity for the salvation of all those who will turn away from sin, and, humbly seek God’s forgiveness; through the precious heart of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. Amen.

In comments to LifeSite (see full statement below), Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò strongly criticizes different statements of the new papal encyclical on human fraternity,Fratelli Tutti, that seem to promote religious indifferentism (the idea that other religions are just as pleasing to God as the Catholic faith).
LifeSite reached out to the Italian prelate, asking him to comment on a few specific quotations from the new papal document that seem to indicate an attitude of religious indifferentism and a lack of zeal to convert others to Catholicism. LifeSite presented these quotations yesterday in an initialreport.
In commenting on some of the new papal statements, the prelate rejects Pope Francis’ claim that “we, the believers of the different religions, know that our witness to God benefits our societies.” Here, Pope Francis suggests that a religion…

China orders Christians: Renounce God or we’ll cut off food and housing

Actor Jim Caviezel portraying Jesus in “The Passion of the Christ.”
Reblog of previous article “China orders Christians: Renounce God or we’ll cut off food and housing”
Back on June 29th I had done this reblog of this very important article which was both timely and profoundly shocking. Just this week on September 23rd I had for some reason opened this article on a computer and left it open with the image of Jim Caviezel portraying Jesus Christ in the epic film “The Passion of The Christ.” Very significant is the fact that the very next day on the 24th this article “A Conversation with Jim Caviezel” appeared on Word Press which I reblogged. I’ve written before about how dots are being connected in our lives by our faith in Jesus Christ all the time via the Holy Spirit of God, and I’m including the link to that blog article here as well. All of this is very timely and significant and worth praying about and meditating on; as the world is in a near state of outright calamity on so many fronts, and, our true salvation is with and through the Lord Jesus Christ. Here are the links to the blogs.
Zero Lift-Off
Only The Beginning
reblog: by Lawrence Morra “Tyrants Playing God”
So, now the CCP places itself, these intolerant tyrant atheists above God and declare themselves the God of the world and universe! These evil monsters are some of the most hideous vile human beings on the face of the earth and actually for them to be called human beings makes me actually want to puke! This is a wake-up call to anyone out there that has any illusions about what is going on with the Wuhan Corona Virus Plandemic-Pandemic, and the fact that The Biden family, Pelosi family along with many other top Dem leaders, but also including the RINO betrayer Mitt Romney; have been doing mega million behind the scenes backdoor deals with these monsters just like Bill Gates and his equally evil wife Melinda for more money and power. And, Biden calls himself a Catholic if that don’t beat all! Back when he was campaigning with Obama for their second term Biden yelled out to a massive crowd, “I have no problem with same sex marriage.” We also know he has no problem with full term day of delivery abortion! If anyone has a problem seeing that Biden’s outlandish hypocrisy, outright pandering and lying during his whole life long crooked politician career since back in the early seventies isn’t some kind of diabolical creature most likely now demonically possessed, then you would need as much help as he does, but, in his case I don’t even think the top exorcist in the world can save his immortal soul from damnation, just like Xi JinPing and the whole CCP as they have all blasphemed God Almighty and have chosen Satan over God, violating the First Commandment. The First Commandment states to us clearly not to accept a religion or philosophy that teaches that our life and well-being originate with or depend on anything other than the one true God.“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me”(Exodus 20:2-3). There is no other power that rules over the heavens and the earth. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment”(Matt 22:37-38). They are eternally doomed to the pits of hell! On the other side of this, China you must realize has never been our friend nor never will be since becoming a full blown Lenin/Marxist Communist totalitarian regime and being antichrist they are no doubt key players ushering in the antichrist which could very well be coming soon! Regardless of when, in the meantime we all have to pray and strive toward supporting our President Trump and his team who are our only earthly hope to pull out of this graveyard spiral that that this nation was forced into by the evil NWO Obama/Hillary Cartel Cabal. Soros a sworn enemy of America is licking his demonic chops hoping to not kick the bucket before he can see the collapse of America into ruin and chaos and I say we with the help of God Almighty are going to turn the table on that SOB and all the traitors long before this country implodes, we can make what seems impossible very possible, if we keep our faith in Jesus Christ strong while doing all we can to support our President who was sent to us by God as our hero in time of desperate need, and, we have to give him a second term to get America back on its solid Constitutional Republic foundation of one nation under God!

I’m including several links to essay/articles I’ve written recently that I believe will be helpful in at least some small way to inspire others to look more closely or deeply into these and related matters of great urgency to all of us.

“Are people becoming GMO beings far removed and altered from the original genuine article?”
Look around and see how odd and crazy human civilization has become. Why is this happening? Is it just an accident and inevitable consequence of an evil out of control-controlled chaos, or could it be that forces which are invisible to our tactile senses are working unseen against us manipulating and altering our patterns of behavior and our very thinking processes. These unseen enemies; that toy with us day and night if we are weak or not focused on what the actual truth and reason for our being here actually is.
Are people becoming GMO beings far removed and altered from the original genuine article? Fake news, fake friendships and love, as people now are always taking and making sure they get what they want and not caring about what they don’t give.
Artificial has become a major component in the modern scheme of things now; as we the people that make artificial things are turning into artificial beings. Why are imperfect corrupted humans making artificial intelligence when we can’t even live well enough among ourselves or fix our own tragic defects; why would we even begin to think like a madman Bill Gates that we can build some intelligent being; and for what purpose to make the world more chaotic? Have we been working so diligently to find out why people don’t all get along, and love each other or how to fix that problem that is apparently inherent in us since Cain slew his own brother Abel? I’ll put myself at the plate swinging the bat and tell you exactly who wants us to do these things causing some to think we are so wise and capable enough to make some new intelligent beings that will be working within the digital cloud; Satan is the one and only reason or motivator in this story.
Films have brushed on this topic such as “Looker” a 1981 release which “draws parallels between time wastage, virtual comatose states, and the anesthetizing, stultifying effects of television.” James Coburn plays John Reston, the wealthy head of a conglomerate with a sinister scheme involving murder in “Looker” which really sounds just like today’s big tech firms and the sorts of creepy dudes like Bill Gates that run them! And this was before we could consider what the World Wide Web and computers or even hand held devises would do to our minds; as to what short and long term effects they would have, and here we are in the thick of it!
Subliminal effectuation of people’s minds or a kind of group hypnosis is a concept that’s been around for a long time and we could say that all forms of propaganda play into this methodology of altering the minds of populations in a sense a prodding them like cattle or sheep to move and go where the directors or controllers want them to. This is what’s been happening in societies around the globe in earnest for the last couple of decades a preparation if you will for New World Order making the masses totally subservient to the ruling class and stripping them of any real rights; be they Constitutional or human. One only look at the totalitarian state control of China with its Chinese Communist Party the sole governing political party of the People’s Republic of China had its origins in the May Fourth Movement of 1919, during which radical Western ideologies like Marxism and anarchism gained traction among Chinese intellectuals. Other influences stemming from the Bolshevik revolution and Marxist theory inspired the Communist Party of China. Li Dazhao was the first leading Chinese intellectual who publicly supported Leninism and world revolution or in other words world conquest and control.
But the major development in our time-frame now is the advent of digital technologies and artificial intelligence which has changed the playing field exponentially for the worst giving this ideology and its fabricators up till now unheard of or imagined capability of proliferation and dominance in an extremely rapidly changing global geopolitical forum that is changing radically and will build to an earth shattering crescendo in the very near future as the game plan is already in play and even here in the USA many internal operatives who are so called Americans and leaders are busy grooming the public for the transitional shift in policies and standards that will be make and break for everyone but mostly break for the masses and top of the mountain for all of the elitist globalist rulers. We can already see this evolving with outright criminal behavior on the part of our government leaders as they wheel and deal globally selling their political clout and power to influence among other leaders as they damn we the people to the dust and suffering to come while they enrich themselves and their family members or cronies becoming billionaire bloated pigs like the Pelosi family or Biden’s as just two examples amid a sea of corrupt politicians who really aren’t but are rather members of an elite legalized crime family syndicate. Make no mistake about it they are gangsters or racketeers and they never had your best interests in mind but only their own. This actually has become part and parcel the way of living in the old dog eat dog idea, as now our society is very ill and beyond life support to save it spiraling out of control toward the cataclysmic precipice to annihilation. Look around as you play on the world wide web, the spiders web that we are all affixed to now whether you want to admit it or not, you are being consumed with it every day and some people show clear signs of being predators looking to exploit others whether it be just to get likes or to actually rip them off and steal their advantages or following. Then turn to the fact of the riots and mayhem in major cities across the nation and see the mob chaos as an example just the other day in NYC a group of mostly people of color all gang jumped and beat the tar out of a tall white man in the middle of traffic on a street like they were all insects in a swarm like behavior trying to bite and sting their quarry into submission and kill him. These to me were brainless flesh beings or they had to be driven by some form of programming in their limited minds because the only other possibility is they are being influenced by invisible demonic forces from hell. Is this the beginning of the zombie apocalypse or the anarchy that the globalists are fueling and promoting in all the ways they can to bring on chaos to then usher in the massive crushing control by brute NAZI like force upon all of us not just locking-down for a pandemic, but, instead taking over our lives, as in now you’re a prisoner and you don’t do anything unless we tell you to!
Don’t you see that we are already there and it’s been a subtle take over and mastermind plot, but, it took this massive turn last winter and spring because those puppeteers who were metering out this propaganda control saw that a few smaller groups of powerful people like Trump and his allies said no way hold the phone this isn’t happening if we can’t take you down in court we will open the floodgate of anarchy, so both sides are now in a fever pitch confrontation which isn’t going to end pretty and either the good rises to the occasion and steps up to the plate to do what it takes to stop the devils or they will have us all by the balls in short order, you will hate your life then I assure you.
Many will want to die and will commit suicide it will be that unhappy and unbearable to take. There was a movie back in the 80’s Looker which revolved around some corporate and an added note here is we all know how devious big Pharma is with their massive brainwashing television adds; but these corporate characters that had a sinister mind control device in this story that with flashes of light had a hypnotic effect on the person it was directed at altering their perceptions and thinking. Today we have microwave energy beam technology which is just a different portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and not the visible light spectrum this “Looker device employed,” but, sending out signals to prepped individuals with sort of robotic digital data to control actions and behaviors is here now.
And, with all of the propaganda or even our foods being manipulated genetically and chemically to alter our brainwaves don’t you see how easy this plan of attack is and how we are all victims now and even potential zombies. The police and citizen violence that seems to pop up and get out of control couldn’t this be a planned manipulation to trigger hostilities and get the masses to do just what they did with the Floyd case who actually was a brute thug drug addict and criminal who got what he was asking for by living the way he did, “live by the sword die by he sword,” then in the scuffle he resisted the police pushing his luck and the cops are dealing with these characters day in and day out getting fed up and tired too putting their lives on the line to protect and even more ungrateful society each passing month, so it won’t take much to set off a massive firestorm with such a dry tinder box sort of condition where all that is needed is a spark and you have an inferno which is what happened and over what? One black man thug died, so that really warranted burning cities down and killing innocent people in the process; but, do people flip out and burn cities anytime you heard about, when full term human babies are snuffed out day of delivery? No; because that isn’t part of any nefarious program or plan by the puppeteers and you know it. Did Floyd, BLM, ANTIFA and all the citizens that were out of control after Floyd brought on his own demise, did any of them ever go screaming bloody murder or even having a so called peaceful protest when Full Term Day of Delivery Murder of unwanted human babies happens day in and day out? The answer you realize is unequivocally NO! None of those derelicts have a modicum of respect or pity for the little innocent babies; so I have ZERO for them as they are a damned lot and sentenced to damnation by their own voices or lack thereof, along with their obvious unjust actions, which they have condemned themselves by! They’re only interested in mayhem and power, while playing political agendas! By the way, another added sidebar note here is China is the biggest baby snuffer going and actually delivered ones, born but not males or having what’s seen as other defect, and, this kind of genocide of human babies to this degree hasn’t been seen since ancient times which actually pales in comparison; when for example during the time of Moses Pharaoh Ramesses of Egypt ordered all male newborn babies to be killed or King Herod the Great of Judea did, ordering that all babies two years of age or less be disposed of.
“The King Herod that is mentioned in the book of Matthew (Matthew 2) was made king of Judea by the Romans in 37 B.C. He died in 1 B.C. History is not very kind to Herod as it records many of his atrocities including the killing of babies. It is well established in secular writings that Herod murdered the old and young and did not even spare his wives. Herod murdered many people. He was a bloody man. Matthew 2:16 also reports he was a murderous man. Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi. Matthew 2:16 (NASB)
Everett Ferguson is a reliable author who writes the following. Though it may be true that Herod was an extremely able ruler, it is also true that he was intensely jealous of his position. He killed the two sons of Mariamne when his suspicions were aroused that they might become the rallying point for Jewish patriotism. Mariamne herself was killed when his mind was poisoned against her by his sister. . . A man who killed a large part of his own family and arrested large numbers of the most prominent citizens with orders for their execution when he died so there would be mourning at his death (Josephus. Antiquities of the Jews. 17.6.5) . . . would not have caused much of a stir by liquidating a score of children in an obscure village. Knowing of Herod’s conduct and the Jewish scruples about pork, the emperor Augustus was reported to have said that he would rather be Herod’s very pig than Herod’s son. [1]
The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus describes King Herod the Great as a very evil man.
[Herod] commanded that all the principal men of the entire Jewish nation wheresoever they lived, should be called to him. Accordingly, there were a great number that came, because the whole nation was called, and all men heard of this call, and death was the penalty of such as should despise the epistles that were sent to call them. And now the king was in a wild rage against them all, the innocent as well as those that had afforded him ground for accusations; and when they were come, he ordered them all to be shut up in the hippodrome, and sent for his sister Salome, and her husband Alexas, and spoke thus to them: — “I shall die in a little time, so great are my pains; which death ought to be cheerfully borne, and to be welcomed by all men; but what principally troubles me is this, that I shall die without being lamented, and without such mourning as men usually expect at a king’s death.” For that he was not unacquainted with the temper of the Jews, that his death would be a thing very desirable, and exceedingly acceptable to them; because during his lifetime they were ready to revolt from him, and to abuse the donations he had dedicated to God: that it therefore was their business to resolve to afford him some alleviation of his great sorrows on this occasion; for that, if they do not refuse him their consent in what he desires, he shall have a great mourning at his funeral, and such as never any king had before him; for then the whole nation would mourn from their very soul, which otherwise would be done in sport and mockery only. He desired therefore that as soon as they see he hath given up the ghost, they shall place soldiers round the hippodrome, while they do not know that he is dead; and that they shall not declare his death to the multitude till this is done, but that they shall give orders to have those that are in custody shot with their darts; and that this slaughter of them all will cause that he shall not miss to rejoice on a double account; that as he is dying, they will make him secure that his will shall be executed in what he charges them to do; and that he shall have the honor of a memorable mourning at his funeral. [2]
These quotes help us understand that King Herod the Great was wicked. So we should not be surprised that a non-Christian wrote the following about Herod’s massacre of children under the age of two that is mentioned in Matthew 2:16. The non-Christian writer is Macrobius (A.D. 395-423).
On hearing that the son of Herod, king of the Jews, had been slain when Herod ordered that all boys in Syria under the age of two to be killed, Augustus said, “It’s better to be Herod’s pig, than his son” (dicta 56 Malc.)[3]
Conclusion:
We can thank God that there is a secular reference to Herod’s massacre of the children under the age of two. History does not record every event found in the Bible. In truth, we do not need secular history to validate the Bible. We often forget that the Bible is accurate history. But many people do not want to accept the Bible as history because they would then need to submit to its authority. It is the Word of God.” (neverthirsty.org/bible-qa/qa-archives)
All of which should give you a clue to what the world will be like under such totalitarian control when truly evil men rule over we people with total earthly power and control over we humans who are spurned by Satan who directly influences such antichrist blood thirsty men. And, if leaders or governments can do such things to babies who are innocent and pure what do you think the value of your life will be to them if they can’t use you for something, as say a slave or some guinea pig to experiment on; like the Hitler Nazis did during WWII? We are all being played with and screwed over, being prepped for a future of utter control and DEATH; the babies are the canaries in the mine shaft warning in this modern era; those innocent little martyrs that God tells us with His words in Holy Scriptures; how in the End Time many of the innocent will be Martyred!
Another film based on a great novel and even some actual past events is the Manchurian Candidate which again delves into, the realm of mind control and basically hypnotizing individuals and planting thought patterns or even actual orders in their subconscious minds to be acted out at a precise time and place, their marching orders if you will.
Making automatons out of human beings so they carry out an order to assassinate or blow up some building, and, even fly airplanes into buildings. All that is needed in this scenario is the kidnapping of these individuals whereby they are then carefully programmed, with today’s technology even having nanotechnology implanted in them before anyone knows they are missing and release them; to let them go through the motions of their daily lives like they don’t have a care in the world until that precise trigger moment comes when they act like some instinctual wild animal and the predator is released to carry out a deadly act, or even some political decision, and perhaps just adds the final vote to deploy troops or shut down the Nation declaring Martial Law, and then, totalitarian control is established overnight.
But, where is this going you may ask and it’s a pretty obvious destination once you look at man’s lack or the stumbling block that has continually tripped up the human race from the beginning. Where is the “humanity and love,” genuine unadulterated love, first of all for each other that has no strings attached and is unconditional; but, more importantly where is the love of God who gave us a chance to exist and be part of something that is unimaginable and so perfectly complete, full of joy, happiness, peace and tranquility forever. I wonder how many people actually think about this each and every day while simultaneously thanking God upon waking each new day for another opportunity to attain that most precious reward; saying it and meaning it. It looks to me like too many people aren’t doing that and whatever they are looking for it’s either the wrong thing, or they are certainly looking in all the wrong places.
What are we to do and can we do anything about all this? You bet your bottom dollar and the power to do it is right inside you! Save your soul and turn to God Almighty on humble bent-knee asking for His forgiveness and all powerful loving help! You see all these people star athletes, politicians and others these days taking a knee but they are antichrist and kneeling or submitting to an evil worldly power and prestige offering themselves up to perdition and damnation! We see the results of BLM and ANTIFA along with these take a knee fakers and takers like Kaepernick or mayor DeBlasio and Congresswoman Pelosi to name a few; nothing but ruin and hate, they are just self-glory mongers filled with evil as they serve the beast. If you resist all that and turn to Jesus Christ on your knees in all humility He is not going to let you down ever, you have to believe that! With Him you can face whatever will come. He awaits your answer! God bless you. Amen.
‘Mother Teresa of Manchester’ on the path to sainthood
Posted on September 4, 2020 by Catholicism Pure & Simple
Kaya Burgess, Religious Affairs Correspondent, Thursday September 03 2020, 8.00pm, The Times:
Mother Elizabeth Prout worked with the destitute of Manchester
reblog:Zero Lift-Off Only The Beginning by Lawrence Morra “I Am that I Am has Sent me; He the Alpha and the Omega”
How delighted I was to read today that “Mother Elizabeth Prout would be the first British woman who lived in the past 800 years to be made a saint without having been a martyr.” catholicismpure This is very important and inspiring news as this event dovetails perfectly with last year’s canonization of St. John Henry Newman the only other British Saint of modern time that I wrote a blog about, “I Am that I Am has Sent me; He the Alpha and the Omega,” to commemorate that wonderful event last October 11th, when catholicismpure bought this event into focus for me and others with a fine article; which I want to reconstitute now in this reblog with this beautiful article by Kaya Burgess in honor of both of these Catholic religious figures one a canonized saint John Henry Newman and of course the other on her way to beautification to become the only other British saint of the modern era Mother Elizabeth Prout. I find it interesting that I mentioned Abraham Lincoln in a short article I wrote yesterday who was a great and special soul working for God too and his passing was shortly before Mother Elizabeth Prout, having both lived and worked for the betterment of humanity in the same time frame! Here is what I had to say about President Lincoln which I feel aligns magnificently with both of these special souls that were no doubt doing special work for God during their lives, but, indeed following His will to the end; “all the while there are those individuals that fight the good fight, and like Abraham Lincoln who is one of my favorite top three historical figures referred to such persons at his First Inaugural Address Monday, March 4, 1861 how they respond and as he indicated his own conviction, “that “touched” once more by the better angels of our nature,” but, I add though they struggle more than most to hold onto the good, they find the inner strength to persevere and bring out that, “spark of good within” themselves and encourage it in others; as I see them, as sort of the Don Quixote like heroes in their relentless journey to “follow that star of hope.” I will offer the direct link to this article and also the other I wrote last year at the end. But, first I want to add some of the text from that article about St. John Henry Newman here.
This title applies to each and every one of us human beings! The Creator is our Father in Heaven who gave us this opportunity to be a living, thinking child of God’s serving as an angel of flesh here on the earthly plane for His perfect plan as we seek His will to serve His divine plan and will in this temporal temporary life.
If we seek Him and His Holy Spirit and strive to accomplish our mission here we will eventually join Him and everything that is good on the Eternal Plane of Everlasting Life! Perfection, with happiness, peace, love and glory will be ours; sharing it with Him while having “Joyfulness and Ecstasy” that we will want to never end and it will not, not ever! “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
God wanted me to say this. And, this must be said; because so many of the wrong messages are being sent and instilled in the youth of today’s minds hearts and souls. Things that the radical left and militant feminists are propagating are so off base. The old paradigm that we are talking about of traditional belief and behavior is the right one, not only because they stood the test of time through the ages helping humans to survive as a species but more importantly it’s God’s paradigm and what He intended for His children to live by, while they live this brief but so important short test of time for each individual; to see if we are trusting in Him or ourselves more, and if so, do we trust Him enough or other forces, powers and principalities, mainly those that reject God and want to transgress the one being who created all of this and loves us more than we could ever imagine. Do we pass or fail our own personal test as His children or not is the question because we are being tested; make no mistake about it! You know who told me that first, my parents when I was a boy and my Dad went on to say while he was in the big war he saw young boys die in front of him or wounded and in the water screaming mother, as the sharks pulled them under, I get very tearing eyed saying this here, because our parents and mothers are so right, especially the ones following God’s paradigm, and not being selfish or bad role models.
I know I went on here, but, I was inspired so much by all of this and want to share all of it with you, so too when you have time read the entire article and the others as well. God is speaking to us loud and clear through each other many times, but, especially through His most humble servants who dedicated their lives to loving and serving Him our Creator who loves each of us more than we can fathom, but, well enough if we try our best to love Him back with all of our heart, so we can be with Him and our family in heaven. Another very special and interesting point here for me is that just today I became aware of an article by another Word Press author which was some very fascinating and beautifully written ancient history about a British army led by Magnus Maximus who promised to return to Britain but never did, and instead went on to become an Emperor of Rome. I’m sure at least for me there is a tie-in or something more to see as I give more thought and prayer to all of this! We who have faith know; that our God does work in mysterious ways! God bless you.
Brother in Christ Jesus,

Mother Elizabeth Prout worked with the destitute of Manchester ALAMY
A Victorian nun known as the Mother Teresa of Manchester is expected to take a significant step towards becoming the second British saint of modern times, campaigners have said.
The Vatican has considered the case of Mother Elizabeth Prout, who died in 1864, and is expected to approve the third step on the five-step path to sainthood, in which she is declared “venerable”, before the end of the year. This will prompt a formal Vatican investigation into two miracles that have been attributed to her by seriously ill people who prayed to her for healing.
Cardinal John Henry Newman, who died in 1890, became the first British saint of modern times in October. Prout would be the first British woman who lived in the past800 years to…
Something I wanted to say to another blogger who has big questions and wonders when or in what way the answers will come, say for example really knowing what you want?
“Spark of goodness within.” Where did that come from; have you asked yourself? Do you perceive correctly that in this messed-up “mean” world there is absolute goodness and simultaneously absolute evil? These two are the dichotomy of life the duality of what the struggle is all about! They both vie for your heart and soul or what it takes for true absolute love and freedom to exist within individual hearts and souls not automatons; and as you see in today’s world so easily with the advent of instantaneous global digital communication there are so many people doing wicked and horrific things each day as sure as the sun rises; but, all the while there are those individuals that fight the good fight, and like Abraham Lincoln who is one of my favorite top three historical figures referred to such persons at his First Inaugural Address Monday, March 4, 1861 how they respond and as he indicated his own conviction, “that “touched” once more by “the better angels of our nature,” but, I add though they struggle more than most to hold onto the good, they find the inner strength to persevere and bring out that, “spark of good within” themselves and encourage it in others; as I see them, as sort of the Don Quixote like heroes in their relentless journey to “follow that star of hope.”
I temper this with the brutal reality and fact that naivety can make one a target of the nefarious ugliness that roams the earth seeking only to ruin, which I personally know about from my having to contend with this very fact multiple times; but, I would rather deal with that as it comes as a challenge; than to toss in the towel and join the parade of fools, or even worse the wicked; thinking to appease evil’s thirst for my blood with allegiance; I kiss no ass! I walk alone at times, but, proudly of my own accord and on my own merits, trusting that my guidance will always come from above, the only source of absolute truth and love will watch over me; therefore I never truly walk alone! Now keeping in mind what I’ve said so far, do you think all of this is happening in a void and for no reason outside of what we puny fragile beings are capable of extrapolating regarding the why from all of this on our own, or is it more evident that the most high consciousness and power is totally aware of all we are facing and allows it to unfold toward a better end or the ultimate meaning and purpose, the final goal which is absolute love? I don’t mean love in the mere sense of what we contrive love to be, but, an absolute love that is actually never-ending and totally filling; a perfection that does exist far outside of our capabilities to fathom or produce. Could it be that this life as short or as long as it may be for an individual is just a beginning spark that we must strive to foster and protect “so that one day in the future” it will ignite and produce an eternal flame that will never be extinguished. As children and most certainly by the time we are adults we always know the difference between right and wrong, so too was that just in us by chance or accident? I see it clearly that we are tested over time, to choose the path to righteousness and that eternal love; or go in the opposite direction which is the path to damnation and total abandonment. Now, to cut to the chase so this won’t be too long and boring, let’s just consider from human history any historical figure that may have brought insight and truth to humanity like no one else did or could, and that truth was revealed over many centuries indeed millennia very specifically through prophecy and actual witnessed as well as recorded or documented events, that spoke to these questions very clearly and in such a way that nobody else could equal or duplicate and was obviously over time becoming even more valid as world events and all those previous prophecies become more self-evident and pronounced making it abundantly clear that the choice remains the same and is ours to make, each and every one of us; which is, do we want that eternal peace and endless love or would we rather choose to be destructive to others and our own lives in this world of constant conflict.
My friend, let me end this for now where I ended the last long comment to another of your articles with those very same words, which I just noticed I think not coincidentally, actually fits this communication to a “T” which I believe it was meant to. To me this is additional evidence of God at work in our lives.
“And, how would we love Him genuinely unless we had the opportunity to grow, or “evolve” as unique individuals who will decide for themselves, not controlled or manipulated, but, truly love God with all of our hearts of our own desire or volition!”

“Jesus, our Lord, entered our world, just so that we could enter His”
Quite profound and true words of wisdom you shared! I’ve been through some sad and painful things over the last dozen years that eventually altered me internally and externally, but, I still function very well by His grace and many would not have prevailed as I did if confronted with the same challenges, so, I must count my blessings and accept the outward appearance of what seems unfortunate, but, in reality is only what comes to all of we humans one way or another; change and broken as all things in the material world will do! Then realizing that the ultimate and important invisible change took place on the inside or hidden; the spiritual or deep in my soul; which belongs to God! So, whatever benefit will eventually be derived from all of this challenge and my suffering, will be manifested in His presence, when I complete my time on this earth and then really join with Him in His glorious loving Holy perfection; then I will be completely transformed into His eternal image and likeness, as a perfect child of God; at which time everything will be fine, so completely happy and joyous beyond imagination!
“Jesus, our Lord, entered our world, just so that we could enter His, becoming witnesses of His Greatness.
Until we are seen, until we believe in Him, we only believe that we see Him, in reality, seeing only a vague form. Those who see Him will not be able to remain the same.” “When God Approached – Max Lucado”
This tells me that all things are in God’s hands as His plan unfolds and that these changes are both inevitable and they serve His Divine purpose; so that in the end we are able to have a perfect loving relationship with Him as unique individual free children of God’s. Perhaps this is analogous with birth pains being part of every new child coming into this existence, not easy, but, worth the effort and desire to know and love Him.
“Seek and you will find”
“Gods perfect Holy presence in heaven eternally”
What follows is an answer to a question about following The Ten Commandments as the Golden Code verses Avoidance of the Seven Deadly Sins, which I responded to without hesitation. In drawing this in a sense, battle line for debate, between theology and atheism, or magic and religion, I actually saw no comparison or Nothing to debate being a devout Christian with an absolute belief in Jesus Christ I have no difficulty in seeing that atheism is a dead topic with nothing from which to base the conjecture that there is no God and everything just is! Sounds like a liberal out of their minds way of avoiding the truth, where facts and truth are constantly denied, whether in politics or reality. To me deniers are scoffers of God and with great arrogance toss the Creator aside and say I see it my way!
Let’s start with that premise of some supposed battle between theology and atheism and cut to the chase, shall we. There is no battle to be had, nothing and no one can lay claim to what Jesus Christ said and did!
I wrote many times these words that truly resonate with the absolute truth although in the end faith and humility are required of all who seek the heavenly kingdom.
But, ultimately after all is said and done all we have is our Faith in Him, because we are truly in His hands, lambs ready for the slaughter living in the world with its corruption but knowing He will never forsake us if we are living in accordance to His word and will for us, I do trust Him with all.
You are better to take one side or the other, to say you confess that Jesus is whom he was said to be the MESSIAH, or he is not, but this lukewarm nonsense is a travesty and that is something God says in the “living words of the Scriptures,” that He would rather we take one side or the other but not to be lukewarm! Again, I say this one fundamental truth to you and anyone listening, no other human being on this earth ever did or could lay claim to what Jesus Christ did and who he said He was! It is historical fact not maybe or supposes! He was the “Sacrificial Lamb for all Mankind,” in order to take away all man’s sins and cleanse all who accept this GIFT in order that they will be worthy to be in “Gods perfect Holy presence in heaven eternally!” No other way is available, Jesus said “I am the way the truth and the life!”
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me.” John 14:6
God cannot be any more clear cut than that, He has spoken and told us in no uncertain terms that Jesus is the only way to heaven and all else fails but will bring eternal damnation! Simple choice for we simple earthly fools some with huge egos and arrogant ways, thinking they are powerful like sorcerers and witches! They got diddly-squat and will rot in hell for eternity!
Here you answer your own cause with the dilemma, and proves itself an oxymoron with no final answer other than you try as a mere human to come up with this “code” you will chase your own tail into oblivion no doubt!
Here I state in my own words how the person posing this debate is seeking to have people develop a code to live by that would produce great humans that would be always kind and good to each other along with the environment. But, also admitted how in any human devised system there is bound to be corruption, imperfections and discord; leading to major problems.
But, the idea that follows, this takes the cake as being a wild little twist on an ultimate truth handed to us humans from the supernatural Creator to bear in mind and heart, as to what the Divinity of God is and in words for our limited imperfect understanding; being that we are all sinful and hopeless without His plan of resurrection.
Then, there was this one statement made about not believing in Wiccan Power of Three referencing by these words; father, the sun and holy ghost as having religiosity at its core, which apparently like Wiccan to some people is nothing but flights of fancy and make believe. There is no equating the Blessed Trinity with Wiccan! Here is where my own heart and lifetime wisdom through Jesus Christ speaks.
Maybe the Druids or Wiccans and Mayans like the word “sun” but God only speaks about His only begotten Son which is God as a perfect T man, having nothing to do with the sun that heats the solar system. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost as the One true God Almighty who reconciled all imperfection by means of His absolute perfection! Free Will had to exist in God’s Creation in order to have a family of beings or children made in His likeness. With this Free Will came the opportunity to do God’s will following His teaching or to sin and transgress Him. This was and is a perfect plan as to allow each soul to decide for itself out of love for God which God is absolute love, that these souls or children of God would have their own individual minds making each special and not just carbon copies or robots. They could then grow and be living in God’s eternal kingdom, in the presence of God and in a state of perfection with God.
A great scientist even touched upon this, from the genius mind in science of his work in theoretical physics which points out that this genius much brighter than most of us admitted God is real and perfect without doubt or hesitation.
“The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling is at the centre of true religiousness.”
-Albert Einstein
I also wrote recently and quoted Albert again in his one profound statement to another physicist that speaks volumes! Follow my text to the one grandiose sentence he spoke.
I also see the deepest intrinsic value in every speck of existence as miraculous and having qualities that are not random or meaningless or having come into such balance and order by chance or random sequential events taking place at some special by happenstance moment, as I also don’t see how it all has always been as it is with no beginning or end, as we observe readily all is changing and disintegrating in this realm! Scientists know for certain and have demonstrated the “Big Bang” theory, but so too persons like the great Albert Einstein who by far one of the most extraordinary minds to have even been here on earth, told fellow physicists when having a discussion about the millisecond prior to the “Big Bang;” when one of the scientists extrapolated with all of his calculations that with enough “random events” occurring just before that “golden moment”when creation took place or the “Big Beginning,” as I call it, this scientist said these events would surely fall into the precise order required for that golden moment to take place.
Then Einstein said, “Ah, Yes my friend but you’re forgetting one thing, God doesn’t roll dice!”
You see he knew that a creating power that vast and intelligent would undoubtedly be deliberate and intentional in all of its actions by the sheer fact of knowing all things that would by default make “each action perfect and precisely what it was meant to be” or the only thing it can be; never a mistake! My point to you and all followers here is that the mathematical probability that all of this unbelievable existence to have come into being by some unknown yet perfect event happening by chance is basically mathematically impossible, especially when one looks at and examines closely the incredible intricacies of every bit of existence down to the atom to not see clearly that a vast intelligence is at work in all of this; which is far beyond our little puny minds or almost insignificant meaningless opinions when stacked up against what is really going on here! You and I know basically nothing in comparison and to think otherwise is complete folly and I dare say stupidity on our parts if we are to think so highly of ourselves! We only have what God has given to us and there is obviously a plan or imagination at work that will have the final say in everything here, no if’s and’s or but’s about it! Rest assured you are part of God’s plan, but our biggest task is to recognize that, and appreciate the opportunity sitting on our laps, while then giving due respect and love back to our Creator because that was the only reason all of this began, was out of “His infinite love.” We step outside of this plan or design attempting to make ourselves our own God, then we transgress the “OLD ONE,” as Einstein referred to him. That would be quite asinine to do don’t you think?
I concluded with this:
Just this fact, that we can think as we attempt to comprehend and make these observations is obviously a miracle and gift from the “Divine Creator” of all things, which plainly tells us that we are meant to see, recognize and understand these basics, then to let our conscience and heart be our guide, which will lead us to Him in Love and Peace beyond measure, far beyond our present limited understanding. As Holy Scriptures have told us, “Seek and you will find.”
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10
A nice lady who was blogging about a beautiful specimen of a woman who could be a seductress and indeed had gone through several hardships over her feminine beauty in dealing with men or even in a love/romance relationship always being eventually disappointed, hurt and damaged but going on to fight the next battle with determination and a stubbornness to prove herself right. The blogger thought of her as a brave warrior because she kept dusting herself off and going on to the next skirmish or battle in life mostly in dealing with men as they relate to her beauty and femininity. She asked why does the world look at this woman with contempt and judge her some kind of failure when it was the men and world that failed her!
This blogger was asking what was this other woman’s mistake? I think seeing the woman as not doing anything wrong was this nice lady’s misconception, as she isn’t perfect, so she must make mistakes! The blogger continues saying, how in every relationship she, that most radiant beauty, was the victim by men and the world, how she was the one who was used, betrayed, abused ultimately causing her great suffering both emotionally and mentally; yet, the patriarchal world or society looks upon her and addresses her as a sinner! Of course when we look at this circumstance clearly we have to know that we are all sinners, the men, women and the society or, “ways of the world” by which men and women can live by, or not let that become their trap and vicious cycle of try and fail over and over.
I believe this blogger was seeing this woman too much as a two dimensional being and agreeing with her failures due to seeing it as a matter of depending on self only; not seeking the higher calling for her being alive to begin with. This limiting perspective will only fail each and every time anyone sets themselves against the world and thinks they will find a way to beat it and come out on top by sheer determination or just learning how to fight the world harder, while perhaps learning the ways of the world better and go along for the ride. That will always lead to doom; and here is why in my humble opinion.
There are lines we must not cross regardless of personal perspective or even upbringing, because God will judge all human beings by what is truly in their own heart! What fills that heart is the sum total of all one’s life experiences, but, the great equalizer is “Conscience” and every person has one excluding the exception of a sociopath or pure evil which does exist. One must learn through life to choose carefully what actions or behaviors they display or elicit from others for that can become a pathway to temptation and sin which are the ruin of humankind from the original fall from grace when Adam and Eve transgressed God, who is God, the Omnipotent always right in all matters, no exceptions. So, that is who we should attune our hearts to nothing else, not worldly fashion or promise nor the allures of fame and fortune nothing will bring everlasting peace and happiness to any soul unless it is through God Almighty the Creator of the universe and we broke humans. It starts with humility and people today lack it sorely putting themselves and some others up on high pedestals, which is complete folly and some stay on that path thinking they are god-like which is what pagan ancient civilizations produced in Greece, the Roman Empire or Mayan among many other empires, which even went as far as human sacrifice in their evil behavior. So yes, there is benevolence and there is actual evil in the universe and mankind is plagued with the dilemma of this dichotomy, the choice is up to each person, but, all have the opportunity I believe to turn things around before they are doomed! The pure example of this is when God came as one of us to say this will be the only way to redeem the fallen sinners, if I God suffer their punishments and transgressions out of my eternal love, but, all they have to do is appreciate and accept this gift from God showing in their heart of hearts by faith in Him, that they believe in Him and will do His will not their own; which even while God Jesus was dying for all our sins on a cross an illustration of this forgiveness was made.
When Jesus was on the cross, there were two criminals beside Him. One of the criminals hurled insults at Jesus. But the other one said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43 That criminal did a lot of bad things in his life. But, God showed him right then that there is hope and Jesus is it, the Savior who will judge and forgive those who humble themselves and have faith in Him.

Does the bible give the names of the two thieves on the cross next to Jesus? According to Nicodemus, their names are Dismas and Gestas. Gestas made fun of Jesus, while Dismas rebuked Gestas.
What this tells us is we are the instrument of our own destruction or salvation “through Jesus Christ” by making the simple decision to turn to Jesus and ask for forgiveness or reject Him and be banished for eternity! biblestudyresources.org
“Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, Vanity of vanities! All is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2,
Romans 8:20says that all creation was subjected to vanity because of God’s curse.When Adam sinned, God cursed all that He had made (Genesis 3:17–19). In other words, perfection was lost.All of creation is now falling short of its original purpose; rather than working in harmony with God and creation, inhabitants of the earth have turned on each other and against God. We still reel from the effects of that curse. Everything meant to be right side up is upside down. The chaos and insanity of the world as we know it are due to the fact that God has subjected creation to vanity until the time when it will be set free (Romans 8:21).
At the root of all vanity isself, which demands to be protected at all costs. Self cannot co-rule our lives along with the Holy Spirit. God will not share His throne. That’s why Jesus calls us to die to self in order to follow Him (Luke 9:23). Vanity is an enemy of the Spirit and must be constantly brought to the cross and crucified(Galatians 2:20; Romans 6:1–6). gotquestions.org/Bible-vanity
