Is Jesus Too 'Liberal' For U.S. Evangelicals?

Just to switch gears a little bit here, it may also be important to note (and what most people don't know) is that in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) there are mainly two separate schools of thought, sometimes even side by side from one passage (or book) to another passage or book (in fact, you actually have two separate stories of creation side by side in the book of Genesis for example) which, if you will, can generally be broken down to say: The Right Hand of God (Strict adherence to the law) and The Left Hand of God (Social Justice, Compassion, Wisdom, exceptions to the most archaic parts of the law, 'God looks at the heart', Noahidism, Righteous Gentiles, Jewish individuals dedicated to social justice causes, such as Senator Bernie Sanders, etc.) Just sayin'. To break this down even further, in the Introductory Commentary to the Pentateuch (The Torah) the official Catholic Bible (The New American Bible) states that "this historic sweep is the result of a careful and complex joining of several historical traditions, or sources. These are primarily four: the so called Yahwist, Elohist, Priestly and Deuteronomic strands that run through the Pentateuch. Each brings to the Torah its own characteristics, it own theological viewpoint..." And in that respect, it makes it somewhat different, and yet, somewhat similar to the New Testament, where although some of the writers sometimes quote from the Hebrew bible itself, as what they believe is the basis for their new religion, there are also allot of certain difficult to reconcile contradictions, such as the condoning of slavery! And also, most of the early Christians actually believed that Jesus was returning during their lifetime. So many of the writings were based on the "Kingdom of Heaven" being literally at hand, and just around the corner, so to speak. (This is a fact). And yea (Cenk is actually right on this one) there IS a passage in the Old Testament in relation to a form of (non-intentional) abortion! Believe it, or not. But yea, these guys (the people in question) have sort of like turned the whole thing on its head. It's the oldest trick in the book: using religion as a form of control, and for their own selfish ambitions and agenda. (In fact, it's almost Taliban-like).

And furthermore, with all this being said, there are several particular passages in The New Testament, which I myself find VERY interesting (for more reasons then one). 

The first one seems to contradict many of the statements taught by the most influential of the evangelicals, but the second one, actually seems to even defy logic and reason. The first one is allegedly spoken by Jesus himself where he says: "Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but the one who does the will of my father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.’" The second one is also allegedly spoken by Jesus, and is probably the basis (and justification) for more wars and persecutions in the name of religion then any other verse in the Bible. It is from the Gospel of Mark (and from memory, had to look up all these things myself) where it is written: "He said to them, 'Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned'"!!! Now, from what I understand, most Christian scholars do agree that this is a longer end to the document, and added much later then when the original gospel was written. And, that would seem to imply (at least to me anyway) a certain agenda there. (Most likely, by the early Catholic Church). 

I mean, common sense alone, would tell one what this passage is saying; is that any one who doesn't believe in Jesus will be condemned! That raises up ALL kinds of problems. i.e. What about the millions upon millions of people who never even heard of Jesus, for one? What about all the Jewish people, who in good conscience for instance, not only cannot accept Jesus as their messiah, but would also (understandably) consider it blasphemy to worship him as God?! But are still (like many of the others) good (and righteous) people for instance? 

I mean, you could go on and on, really. And it opens up a whole can of worms. So, we can see, that this problem goes back to the very beginning of Christianity itself, which really began as a religious cult. So, my point is, is that it looks like the very doctrine itself seems to have been tampered with to fit a certain agenda from the very beginning, going back to my point, that it is like "the oldest trick in the book", and the reason why it often also seems to attract crazy people. (For instance, in my strong opinion, people who use religion to prey on the vulnerable, the hurting, the lost, etc. are among the worst people in society). Its absolutely disgusting, to say the least. As we can see till this day. (Nothing has really changed). Just sayin'. And, just couldn't resist putting my two cents in here. Had to just get if off my chest. I still have an open mind, but am a sensible person by nature, to begin with. But, that's me...

And so, as not to despair, what does all this mean, in a spiritual sense? Because, it is still pretty obvious (to me anyway) that something had to have put this all here. Ya know, our world being like a huge biosphere and all? To incidentally (and conveniently) include: one Sun, one Moon, an ozone layer and an exact distance from the sun that protects us from burning up, or totally freezing; the moon being instrumental in controlling the ocean tides, the magnetic field created from the earth's inner core that protects us from the suns radiation! The amazing complexity of life, etcetera, etcetera. Well, it just could very well be, that we are living on some kind of alien prison planet. (Which, by the way, may also be hinted at, in a mythological sense, in the beginning of the book of Genesis, for example). And that many of our ancestors were banned here because of things like mental illness and violent and criminal behavior. (And are being monitored in some way by a higher form of life). Now, in nature, there are good mutations, and there are bad mutations. It just may be, that those of us who are like, not of this ilk, are like, good mutations. (As just one possible part of this theory). Although, I do have a pretty compelling video on this blog (and on my website) in reference to all the possible aspects of this theory. It made ME think anyway, but that is beyond the scope of this post. Just something to consider, it would seem to me. As our actual existence, still basically remains a mystery. But that is why, I myself, am not a full blown atheist, but something of an Agnostic, like Albert Einstein was considered to be, for instance. In other words, my own personal belief is that everything that had a beginning, ultimately had to come from something that had no beginning, and that includes the possible existence of extraterrestrials. Too Deep...

And something else in the book of Genesis that one may want to consider, is where it is written: "And God said: 'Let us make man in our image and after our likeness'"!!! 

Yea, definitely too deep, and definitely beyond the scope of this blog post...

It may be relevant to note however, just like Jiu-Jitsu is in relation to most of the other Martial Arts (as considered the oldest of the martial arts itself, and from which all the others originated) for example, so is Judaism (in like manner, as being the foundation) to the other major (Monotheistic) World religions...

Uh, oh. Yea, I get it. (Oldie, but goodie). Its (still) always the way...

And so I end this, with a message of hope. There IS always hope...

And, just to further wrap this up and end this, it may also be relevant to note (being now at that age) that I was able to bring MANY YEARS of learning, knowledge, and experience to this blog post. So (for whatever its worth) one can surely rest assured, that I at least know what I'm talking about, if nothing else. In fact, this seems to have turned into some kind of work of art, instead of a blog post! I, at least, learned something here, I think. But, that's me...

Booming New Online Industry...Slander

There is a distinction (not really emphasized here though) between opinion (every one is entitled to their own opinion for example) fact (of which knowledge could prevent one from say, being deceived, swindled, or when such knowledge of someone could possibly even save one's life for instance) and outright, deliberate (knowingly false) defamation, that is designed with 'malicious' intent (that is the keyword here) to destroy a person's reputation, character, and well-being; even sometimes orchestrated to negatively effect an innocent person's means of earning a decent living, for example. That is a crime, and a very serious and evil thing...

Trump's Business Ventures Come Crashing Down

Trump (as I had always strongly suspected) was never anything other then a con-man. (And one of the best there is, mind you). And he undeniably proved that at the end of his term; in my strong opinion anyway. He is nothing more then a (borderline) Narcissist/Sociopath (I am sorry to say) who never really genuinely cared about anyone else but himself; as well as being erratic and seemingly (mentally) unstable in all his ways. He was therefore, basically a disaster as President. (But unfortunately, definitely not the first who was). Good riddance... Sorry, Donald. But ahhh!!! W.T.F. man?

When Will The Housing Market Crash?

Bernie Warns of Biden's BIG Weakness

Therefore, we very well may be watching the election being rigged right in front of our very eyes, in real time! There's no other real explanation, except for the general American voting public being extremely and deliberately stupid. And if the election is being rigged, that is another very serious warning sign, that we have officially become like a Banana Republic, and that the nation is in decline. It is a known fact, in itself, that electronic voting machines are easy to rig. (In fact, I have excellent reason to believe, that this very thing is what was going on during the re-election bid of George W Bush during the last decade). This has also very credibly been exposed in the past, in various documentaries and the like. This is also, a VERY serious crime. Hopefully, Senator Sanders will be aware of this, and (like Trump during the 2016 election) have a professional team of people on the ground. Of course, that probably costs allot of money, but he also, I would think, has access to the Secret Service for instance. In fact, investigating election fraud is part of their job description. Oh well. Right now, at least, as you can see in this video discussion, it doesn't look very good for this country.
Most of the establishment elite DEFINITELY does not want Sanders to be president. Because, it is as George Carlin said, that they basically: "want more for themselves, and less for everybody else."  And of course, the American main stream media, like CNN and MSNBC for example, has allot of power, in fact (as is the consensus from allot of professionals) too much power, to influence our elections as well. (As they are part of that same establishment elite to begin with). However, the course the country is presently on, is basically unsustainable. I mean, its like a law of physics. Which leads me to believe, this is all leading to something, in relation to some kind of agenda, quite possibly. (As I know, that many of the type of individuals involved, are also certifiably insane). But still, the american people have to smarten up, or its pretty much over. Sad. No further comment...

 

Joe Biden Partially Responsible for The Huge Amount of Student Debt...

Another great case in point for why we need an Amendment to the Constitution to remove the dark, dirty money from politics, and another great example of why Joe Biden is bought, that allot of people, especially the democratic voters, are mostly not aware of. Yea, I also agree with Cenk Uygur here, that the Progressive candidates (like Warren and Sanders) not only do a great disservice to this country, by not saying much to make voters aware of this, but also risk their own candidacy, by not bringing home this extremely important point and fact. Biden is a bad joke, and a phoney, I'm sorry to say. But unfortunately, it is the truth. And he would definitely be bad for the country if he was ever elected president, and be a bad candidate to run against Trump. 'Cause all Trump has to do is use the facts (including Biden's own voting record) about why he would be a bad choice to run the country, and therefore, just by exposing some of Biden's quite refutable, bare-faced lies, and phoney talking points, irregardless of Trump's own questionable character, would once again (like in the 2016 election) symbolize two of some of the worst choices for President in the country's history.
Also worth noteing here, is that this is another great example of why we need INDEPENDENT media, because most of the (American) Main Stream Media (and the pundits there) are bought themselves, and have their own agenda...

You NEED To Know This About Christopher Columbus

Yea, I'm not a Historian, so I don't have access to all these journals and documents mentioned here on a first hand basis and all, but from what I understand, and in all fairness, Christopher Columbus was not necessarily directly involved with most of the atrocities mentioned here and in some of the other commentaries about these incredibly sickening things. In fact, from what I understand, he considered many of them extremely abhorent. (Could be mistaken though). From what I also understand, Columbus took with him allot of prisoners who were like sorta' given amnesty to assist him on at least his first voyage. (Possibly by the Queen of Spain, but not sure).
And they were individuals who were thieves, murderers, rapists, psychopaths, etc.
The bottom line though, is if he witnessed these things happening and did nothing about it, that would not make him a good man, for sure. And definitely, not someone we should celebrate, or name a holiday in his honor. Also, I found kinda' odd in this discussion, is what one of the commentators said here, in relation to Italian immigrants, and the reason why President Roosevelt established Columbus Day as a National Holiday to begin with; where he said, something to the effect, that Roosevelt really didn't need to do that, because Italian immigrants were not necessarily treated as badly as other immigrants. Which is really not true. I seen a documentary once, and yea, it was pretty bad. And I'm not just saying that because I'm an Italian American myself. It is a fact. Also, from what I understand, many of the Indigenous people at the place where Columbus and his men found themselves, did not necessarily die out solely because they were all slaughtered, but much of it was also because of diseases that the Europeans brought with them that the natives had no immunity for. Either way, the incredibly terrible crimes discussed here, and more, did happen. And that this was a VERY dark chapter in American history, that has seemingly been glossed over in our school text books, does appear to be true. And it is just one more telling example of Imperilism (or Colonialism) run amock, and some of the things that were to come...

 

Whew, bad Karma, man. Poor people...

Trump: I'm the King of the Jews

Wow. Yea, when you think he just couldn't get any more outrageous, Trump has really outdone himself this time. Worst still to come, with the escalation of his delusional Trade War with China? May be. Ya know, speaking about President Trump comparing himself to the 2nd Coming of Jesus, I can't help being reminded of that proverb in the Bible: "Pride comes before the fall."
If there is one thing in the Bible where it ever speaks about God hating anything at all,
it is in relation to pride and arrogance. Ironically, that seems to be one of the primary reasons why the ancient Jews so despised the Egyptian Pharaohs, and the Roman Emperors; because of their extreme pride and arrogance, in claiming to be Gods themselves, and therefore worthy of worship, and the same veneration reserved only for God himself. But, regarding Trump, is it a similar kind of like, borderline blasphemy?
Once again, may be. (Or also, quite possibly, someone who has really just lost his mind, and a perfect example of why the 25th Amendment was created in the first place.
And hence, the reason why Trump also seems to deliberately and willingly attract so many other irrational, deranged, crazy people as well, for his followers).
Have to see where this goes, but just sayin'. Pretty unprecedented shit, whichever way you look at it. No doubt about that. Sad, that the country has actually come to this, but I sorta' predicted it, for various reasons, that should be quite obvious by now, as to why the U.S. wound up with a president like Donald Trump, to begin with. And if its not, well then, there's really no help for you, to be quite frank...

Bernie WINS At Fox News Town Hall

Yea, former Rep. Dennis Kucinich used to appear on Fox all the time, yet rarely on the other major networks, like CNN or MSNBC for instance. Kucinich was one of the original Progressive Democrats, before the term "Progressive" was even used.
In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he is the one who first coined the phrase: "Deep State" on one of his appearances on Fox. He was someone who also proposed such radical ideas, as putting the Federal Reserve under the mantle of the Treasury Dept for example. And sadly, one of the only politicians who had the balls and the integrity to rightly propose impeachment proceedings against then President George W. Bush...
But anyway, yea, I thought this Town Hall on Fox was a wise move by Senator Sanders.





And in relation to Rep Kucinich and the 'Deep State' thing I mentioned above, here is a clip from one of his appearances on Fox, while the meaning of the term 'Deep State' was still developing and in its infancy; but yet the bad guys were watching (as they are now) never-the-less. (Usually to see how much they can get away with for example). For instance, the White Nationalist Coast Guardsman from Maryland in the news recently, charged with planning a mass terrorist attack, targeting certain democrats and others, was most likely some kind of 'Deep State' operative or Terrorist sympathizer, for instance. As they are usually VERY sinister and sadistic, and involved in other crimes, and like to know just how corrupt, incompetent, and/or deliberately stupid that faction in law enforcement (and the system) can really be; to determine (and using that as an excuse) as to what they should do next, and how much they can really get away with themselves. Case in point...

 

And make no mistake about it, many of these individuals (who are aligned with this so called: 'Deep State' philosophy) ARE VERY dangerous. Their psychology is COMPLETELY warped and twisted. Especially, in relation to whomever they are targeting, and seemingly negatively obsessed with, for whatever disturbingly sick, malevolent (and delusional) motive. (So sick, that it actually approaches the demonic). They are lunatics! They are: "Kukoo for cocoa puffs." And some of the most INSANE people in the world! (I know). Just take a look at the false flag events of 9/11 and the related anthrax attacks, as their justification for an unprovoked military invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the seemingly endless 'war on terror' for instance, to get just a glimpse of their extremely disturbing (deceitful and criminally insane) psychology; that President Eisenhower himself warned the American public about, all those years ago. As if to also warn us, that the potential was definitely there for the spawning of some kind of monster (or entity, if you will) that could very likely come from what he himself called: 'The Military Industrial Complex'. (See previous blog post). Not completely unlike the (almost prophetic) Arnold Schwarzenegger movie: 'Eraser' for example...
Ya know, I can still remember (with God as my judge) this pundit on one of the the news networks, like MSNBC or CNN for instance, making this REALLY disturbing and bizarre statement (among others) that: "No one owns 9/11." What?!!! "No one owns 9/11"?
Are you kidding me? What the f*ck kind of insane statement is that? (But I knew just what he meant). Oh, yea. Just goes to show, just how far this country has really gone, since Eisenhower's warning. He couldn't have been more right, or prophetic. Damn.
Enough said...

Glenn Greenwald Debates Cenk On Mueller Investigation

Trump Makes INSANE Promise

Oh yea, here they go again. Ya see, I always believed myself (knowing these guys like a book now) that the sorta' like inadvertent removal of the individual mandate from the so called Affordable Care Act by the Republicans was going to come with consequences, one way or the other. Because, there is no more control! (And always felt, that they were therefore, going to try and bring it back, one way or another).
Of course, that was really the worst part of the ACA. (In my strong opinion anyway).
I mean, it was still a step up from Cobra, but lets face it, people, understandably, do not want to have to purchase an incredibly high deductible health insurance plan (because it is all they can afford) so as not to be fined if they don't. And the reason for that, is because, it is not really a government run, health insurance plan. It is, of course, really administered by a 'for profit' health insurance company- only PARTIALLY subsidized by the federal government. It is basically Romney Care. A right-wing health insurance plan.
(And the Republicans still vehemently fought against it, for all the wrong reasons, and because, as they themselves openly stated, they wanted Obama to fail as president to begin with). And it is a program, that was basically flawed from the beginning. Ya see, Obama had promised during his campaign for president for instance, that he would fight for either a Public Option or a Single Payer health care system, if he ever got elected.
Of course, it was a lie. Because he was basically just as bought as most of the Republicans are, as he is really not a liberal, or a Socialist, as they would falsely like to call him, but a neo-liberal. (The other side of the same coin as a neo-con). And that is why, we're in the mess we're in, in the first place...
Trump, of course, is an even bigger con-man then Obama was (once again, in my strong opinion, and what should be so obvious by now) so one has to DEFINITELY be incredulous and VERY suspicious as to why, all of a sudden, he is doing this.
And, that cheshire, cat-like grin on reptilian, Mitch ('I want your soul') McConnell's face just speaks volumes. These guys are somethin' else man. No shame, AT ALL!
They lie, and try to deceive you right to your face, like they're speaking to morons, and like they're actually doing us a favor. When we pay their salaries. In part, at least, because the lobbying money in politics has become so out of control now, that many of them are bought, for instance, by those very same for profit, health insurance and big pharma companies! So (until we get an amendment to the constitution) they really work for them. (Because, lets face it, they have ALLOT more money). Incredible...

This is all in good fun, I guess. HIT IT GUYS!
As serious as these things are, I still think President Trump can be pretty funny man. And Mitch McConnell, was like born to be goofed on. (These guys are like set for life anyway, at our expense). By the way, has anyone ever seen any kind of footage of Donald Trump (or McConnell) laughing? Ever?! I mean, they're like not human. Damn...

Mueller Report EXPLAINED

Yea, it is all just as I said man. (As I mentioned in a previous post in this blog).
The ultimate outcome of the Mueller investigation (at least as it appears so far) is no surprise to me AT ALL! And I ALWAYS believed myself, that the whole 'Russians stealing the election' thing, seemingly created by some of the not very bright, and malevolent, establishment Democrats, was just TOTAL bullshit. (Making a bad situation even worse). And somewhat indicative of why the Democrats got slaughtered in the 2016 election in the first place...
You had probably two of the most unpopular and underwater presidential candidates in modern American election history, to begin with. Not to even mention, that Clinton definitely seemed to do a great job of blowing the election all by herself!
What is very interesting to me though, regarding all this, is the seeming discrepancy with the Buzz Feed story for instance, some weeks ago already, when the Special Counsel indicated that this internet media company's revelation in relation to the Russian-Trump Tower thing, "was not entirely accurate." (And at a time, when Trump had shut-down the government no less). Where then, did that story come from in the first place? I mean, was it made up? Was there any truth to it at all, that the Mueller team just deliberately ignored? I don't get it? But still, no surprise really...
So far, at least...

Did CNN Sabotage Bernie Sanders' Town Hall?

Conservatives In Complete MELTDOWN Over Rashida Tlaib

Here is my own comment (and opinion) to this great video commentary on YouTube...

"The Democratic Party DEFINITELY needs somebody in there with balls, for all the right reasons. 
I really dug the article in 'The Nation' that showed the excellent brief that Rashida Tlaib wrote, which sorta' like lends some rationality to the reason she used the language she did when she spoke to her supporters, that brought the whole thing home, to make a point, that now with the government shutdown and all, and all the pain the President is deliberately causing allot of people and the country for instance, there is at least now more then ever before, a reason (with all due respect to the President) that the impeachment language in that context definitely makes sense, and goes beyond political party and affiliation, because it goes to the reality of the actual damage he is causing the country, and how he has now more then ever proven that he is really unfit to be President, and (trying to use my own language carefully here) has arguably at least, become an actual danger to the country. And in that light, I myself loved that she put it the way that she did to her constituents, where she is pretty much saying: "hey, what more proof do you need that we got to (eventually at least) impeach this monster?!" I mean, I get it. Just my two cents here. Just sayin' - that I really dug her comment myself. Sad that the country has actually come to this point though, of course, and really quite scary, because we are really like on the verge of a constitutional crisis, it would seem to me; and that we really need (now more then ever) for people in Congress (who are not beholden to any special interests for instance) who have the balls to rise to the occasion and do the right thing, for the sake of the country, or we are not going to survive very long as a viable, stable, and free nation..."



This could very well, really be the reason why all this is (currently) happening.
It's nothing more then a robbery. Think about it. Move over, Guatemala! Oh, the irony...
