This
alleged “whacko” individual (researcher/writer) asks you
to check out the article and following
comments on this link:
On Faith Panelists Blog: Answering the call: by their
fruits you will recognize them - Jordan Sekulow
One of
the comments posted thereon is indirectly related as to
why I ask people to watch, if and when possible, the
Glenn Beck television program. Yup, it’s been a long
time since secular and “Christian” television has seen a
“Glenn Beck type” person.
“I have no idea where
the concept came from, that America is an explicitly
atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution
and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the
idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we
aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him”,
stated Ben Stein.
The
preceding two paragraphs are from a previous article
entitled “It’s Been A Long Time”, both those preceding
paragraphs involve religion and politics, directly and
indirectly.
It’s been a long time since anyone has cut through the
bull dung of politics and religion; the question is:
“How come”? There are numerous and various reasons
regarding the answer to that question. So I’m going to
cut through all the religious and political “crap” of
the old and modern day philosophies of such and go
directly to some bottom lines of “reality” in our
present day “lifestyles”.
Will some one inform this whacko writer and talker how
to contact “God”? Does anyone have “God’s” earthly
mailing address? How about his phone number or current
“E-mail address”? I’m not interested in the
“pie-in-the-sky” for the “sweet-bye and bye” theology of
ANY so called/named Christian “church”
denomination either, including the so called
Hebrew/Jewish roots movement, Jehovah’s Witness, The
Church of Latter Day Saints, etc.!
If
no one can provide just one of those aforementioned
items, don’t contact this “Nutcase”. I’m interested in
reality and “real life” first, not just the
“sweet-bye-and-bye” (aka the “rapture”) in our advancing
“high-tech” world of reality. Therefore, I’ll just
assume that “God” died and is now dead. Perhaps
“God” the person never lived or even existed either.
Here it comes, via the self-righteous people:
“Well the Bible says”; really now! How about this cliché
(phrase) instead: “Well the Constitution of the United
States of America says…” Are you actually paying
attention to what is going on around you, within
America, or is your head stuck up some political and/or
some religious individual’s behind, where the sun
doesn’t shine or “THE Son” can’t shine or
be even be seen?
Or
maybe I can put it this way too: “Where did the idea
come from that we should worship celebrities and
we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand
Him”? Well this “Nutcase” knows, not
merely knows about, where the idea came from, but also
knows HOW, as well as from who, what,
when, where, and why that idea came from. Very few
persons claiming to be “Christians” (especially
the “political” ones) can make that very same claim
(statement), and “back it up” - like it or not, believe
it or not, accept it or not!
For
the record, this “unknown” writer and radio individual
doesn’t deal merely with superficial issues/topics
regarding/involving politics and religion, but very,
very specific and fine thread “nuts and bolts” issues,
i.e. seen and unseen “details” (basic, bottom lines); in
other words, how to get in touch with (not contact
per-se) the Bible’s “God”. Those “fine” details also
separate the Biblical (not “Christian”) “Counselor” from
the Christian and secular political lawyer/ attorney and
alleged “counselors”.
Also for the “written record”, anyone who
desires to put this writer and talker to a “test”
regarding the aforementioned statement and claim can do
so on “The Bible Mechanic” radio program - not to debate
or argue, but to reasonably discuss why “It’s all about
the words - all the words - not just some of the words”.
Use the contact tab on this particular website to
contact this analyst.
Here’s a “political” (also religious) detail (“real”
example) for you to ponder; why does the U.S.
Constitution’s preamble state, “this Constitution
FOR the United States of America”, while in
Article 2, section 1, these words (phrase) are found:
“the Constitution OF the United States of
America”?
Here’s a religious (also “political) detail (“real”
example) to ponder: Why do the vast majority of
“Christians” believe/state/accept, in their primary
doctrine of their so called statement of “faith”, (or
belief, etc.) that God is in three persons?
Unfortunately the first “political” example (question)
is faster and easier to answer/explain than the second
“religious” real example (question); therein lays a
major, a tremendous, United States of America
governmental/Biblical problem (i.e. ideology) for
today’s time.
For
example, is “our” alleged (a key word
for understanding the two following issues) - is Barack
Obama qualified - according to the U.S Constitution - to
be “We the People’s” President AND is
Obama a “Christian” (he claims to be) according to
Biblical standards - not some “denominational church”
standard (doctrine)? What do YOU think, believe - and
also - accept for the answers to those two
questions?
It’s been a long time since the vast, silent, “take it
on the chin” and the butt-kissing, “chicken”, majority
of “We the People” took some real “time out” from the
fantasy land of television - and what ever else they
entertain/amuse themselves with - to actually research
Biblical and U.S. “Constitutional” precepts and
principles instead of listening to, on a consistent
basis, “humanity’s” educated boob tube experts, as well
as the various professional, be such political or
religious, news “analysts” on the “capitalist” driven
media.
Modern day politicians/judges are the mirror image
of modern day “Christians”, i.e. lookers and hearers of
“words” but not doers of “THE Words”. Such doesn’t end
there however, understanding and comprehension of all
the words are also “keys”, hence the simplistic phrases
of “It’s all about the words folks”, one “key” and
another “key”, “It’s about all the words folks” [Cf.
Math.16:19].
Notice that just two words are switched in those two
statements (phrases); those two phrases are the
political and religious “basics”, the
Foundation, for the United States of America’s
Governmental System - as well as one reason for the
ineffective modern day denominational, evangelical,
(etc.) alleged “Christian church” within America.
I
don’t know about you, but this individual has bills to
pay; for example, telephone bills, the electric bill,
and taxes to pay, etc. Get the “picture” yet stupid? To
use an American “expression” (phrase) - “Have I ‘pissed’
you off yet “Christian”? But then, who is a “Christian”
and why and how, hmmmm? Is America’s alleged
President a “Christian” as he has claimed; how about
Glenn Beck too? How about you dear reader or even this
“Heretic” writer and talker?
Do
you consider parts of this particular article “vulgar”?
Why don’t you get an American dictionary and look up the
definition of the word “vulgar” before condemning or
judging this “Nutcase”. While you are doing that, if at
all, why don’t you also research the Biblical
(not the alleged “Christian”) distinction (difference)
between condemning and judging, or are you a know it all
“Christian”, who merely assumes to know
about that difference? This individual
writer/talker IS NOT a “know it all”,
rather - from a total complete
Biblical perspective - merely “a jack of all trades,
master of none”; have you ever heard/seen that
phrase/expression before?
Now
to deal with a portion, a segment of reality, aka the
“real world”, aka American lifestyles, using the two
aforementioned keys as basics; that portion (segment) of
reality’s name is Glenn Beck. First however, from a
Biblical comprehension perspective and specifically from
the words of God made flesh [Cf. John 1:14 - how?], aka
the “Christian” Jesus, aka Yahushua according to the
educated Hebrew/Jewish roots “movement” people,
BUT from a complete
Biblical comprehension and THE
basic “SPIRITUAL” perspective - THE
Word of God, [Cf. John 6:63 also this basic as found in
1st Cor.2:13-14] that God is a Spirit - not a
person. [Read, study, then “take apart” truth and spirit
in John 4:24]
Meanwhile however, for those “Christians” that are
involved with/in the so called “deliverance ministry”
some words of warning and caution. The alleged
“Christian church’s” trinity doctrine, does not consist
of three persons as commonly taught - and accepted - by
the vast majority of religious and “church” going
people, as well as those “church’s” leaders.
The
so called “Godhead” consists of only/just one
individual “Jesus” - period - contrary to what
you might think, believe, and accept - like it or not
folks! Learn to read correctly, don’t assume, and study
thoroughly. For example, notice/realize this “Mechanic”
used the word “individual” not “person”;
you probably haven’t a clue (idea) as to why the “word
usage” of “individual” by this writer,
i.e. my choice of A specific word.
Therefore, here is an earthly “clue” (just one of many
clues and words); the word “person” is directly
linked to a current day issue - the “economy”!
Check out the “tab” INFINITY on this website, found
under “Menu”, for more information, and some in-depth
Insight - via Biblical “SPIRITUAL
Knowledge” and Wisdom - regarding the real reasons for
the current economic condition of “America”.
Meanwhile, back to Glenn Beck; he is a “capitalist”
according to his own words and actions. Big deal; so are
the vast majority of the so called “Christian”
evangelical incorporated (501c3) churches within
America. Go look up the “definition” of the word
“capitalist” and its related “forms” (words). This
writer is not a “capitalist” - neither are many other
True Christians (born-again/endowed with power/Love
filled). Perhaps this specific individual writer and
talker will never become a “capitalist”.
Now
the Biblical “stewardship” precept (an
issue by itself with regards to the above paragraph)
becomes a pertinent “Word” when confronting and
dealing with “real life” issues, politically and
religiously: an issue such as “mammon”, aka the commonly
used word “money”, aka “Federal Reserve Notes”; in other
words the U.S.A. economy - and the “system” of such -
coupled with “socialism” and returning to “God”- per the
“capitalist” Glenn Beck’s statements/ideology and his,
and your “love”.
Therefore, will some one first inform this whacko how to
contact “God” the person? Does anyone have
the “person of God’s” earthly mailing address? How about
his phone number or E-mail “address”? If no one can
provide just one of those aforementioned items, don’t
contact this “Nutcase”. I’ll just assume that
“God” the person died and is now dead.
Stupid paragraph and questions huh, or are “they”? Oh
yea, the primary “key” word in this paragraph
(definition “wise”) is “assume”.
How
about this question instead: “Will some one inform this
whacko how to contact God’s “example”, HIS “representative”(s)?
Still don’t “get it” do you “Christian”? Maybe this
question will help you “get it? Is Glenn Beck a
“Christian” or a “Mormon”? How about this question too:
“Is Barack Obama a “Christian” or a “Muslim”? Get the
complete and BIGGER “picture” yet? I doubt it!
(i.e. Stop, Look, and Listen folks)
However, some individuals have partially “gotten it”,
and their comprehension of the BIGGEST
picture is becoming clearer with each and every day,
once they start thinking outside the human nature made
“religious” and “political” boxes. For example: “This is
the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be
glad in it.” [Psalm 118:24], unless you
believe in and accept “the system” of
“evolution-ism” as to how all this religious,
political, and even this “God related stuff” started.
Many people are “down-on” Glenn Beck - including
professing “Christians” - for various and numerous
reasons; are you one of them? For the record, there are
two major “political” issues I
absolutely disagree with Glenn Beck on/about.
First are the events on Sept. 11, 2001, the second is
the eligibility of Barack Obama to be the U.S.
President. The first issue is about using some words
with common sense; the second is more about “all the
words” along with “Godly” sense.
Whereas I know that “God” is alive (yeah, I know what I
stated/meant using words - but do you?) for this
individual has experienced, not just read and studied
about “God” the CREATOR, aka (God) Father, His only
begotten Son, and the Spirit of God and the Holy
Spirit, on a consistent basis. Nevertheless, this
individual had to “re-consult” the Instruction
and Operating Manual, concerning some “basics” - with
regards to Glenn Beck’s and the general publics
perspective about politics and religion.
Ben
Stein wrote: “I have no idea where the concept came
from, that America is an explicitly atheist country.”
Here’s just one “realistic” place where that concept
came from many decades ago: Does anyone have “God’s”
earthly mailing address; how about his telephone phone
number? If no one can provide just one of those
aforementioned items, anyone can merely assume
(speculate) that “God” the person (not the Spirit) died
millenniums ago, and is now dead.
Beck is stating on his television program that America
needs (must) return to “God”. Well, that’s a basic. [Cf.
Isa.1:4 and 2nd Chron.7:14] He’s not against
Jesus. [Cf. Luke 9:50 and Math.10:32] Beck tells the
people to “do their own homework” and not to believe
him; that’s another basic. [Cf.2nd Tim. 2:15
and Psa.118:8] He doesn’t think more highly of himself
[Cf.Rom.12:3] then he should - as does Rush Limbaugh,
who, for one example, once stated on his radio program
that “he was born a Christian”. Really now; gullible
Rush Limbaugh; are you that gullible too; if so, by whom
and from what?
Whereas Beck has stated that “he converted to becoming a
Mormon” and publicly stated, during one of his
television programs, that he had accepted Jesus as his
personal savior - how “loud” do his “actions speak”
along that “profession” of “faith” - cliché wise - and
in the “real world”? Incidentally, did you notice the
lower case use of “f” (detail) that was used by this
“Mechanic” (writer), in the word “faith”?
While Glenn Beck has been connecting the dots
politically and governmentally, for the public, on his
television program - the only secular, commercial,
capitalistic “media” individual to do so on a regular,
consistent, national basis - perhaps he is also
privately connecting the dots - religiously and
politically too.
Unfortunately however, the vast majority of professing
and possessing “Christians” cannot get
beyond the name tag “Mormon”. They throw the baby out
(Beck) with the bathwater (his information); now ain’t
that a “loving” attitude? [Cf. Rom.13:10 - Whose
“law” folks? Cf. Prov.10:12]
Once again, as usual, this article is only about the
basics, pieces, precepts, principles, law, legalities,
“bottom lines”, all of which are connected to a modified
“Christian” cliché - a personal relationship via “Words”
with an individual named Jesus and then various
experiences -with His (and my) heavenly Father -
who is not a person [the basic, “bottom
line”] or “A God”, as alleged by various
“Christian” claims and beliefs - i.e. Christianism.
[Cf. 2nd Tim.3:5&7] By the Way [Cf.
John 14:6], a “God”, by American definition is “deism”;
do you recall Creationism and evolutionism?
A “god” is not THE “God” - do you get it yet “deist”?
The
U.S. Code of Law, Title One, Chapter One, states in
part: “The words “person” and “whoever” include
corporations, companies, associations, firms,
partnerships, societies, and joint stock companies, as
well as individuals” as well as “oath includes
affirmation, and sworn includes affirmed.”
The
preceding paragraph, from the U.S. Code of Law, is one
basic, foundational reason why the American dream has
become the American nightmare - in more ways then one!
But then, “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have
closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears, and should understand with
their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal
them.” [Math.13:15 - Cf. Isa.42:20 and Isa.28:11-13]
Here’s another “piece”; “So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by
the
word of God.” [Rom.10:17] So how come you are reading
this article if “faith” comes by hearing - not
reading? How about this too, “should understand with
their heart”; but then what is the heart? Have you seen
(read) any basics yet, in the aforementioned “code of
law” to connect some Biblical dots and pieces,
economically? Is there also a distinction or
correlation between what “faith” is and who “Faith” is?
Believe it or not folks, like it or not, accept it or
not, everything that we initially
perceive as “reality” starts with words. However, all
the words, be such from politicians (governmental and
who’s representatives?) or religious leaders,
(regardless of their “faith”) must be considered - all
the words, every single word and letter - be such words
are written or spoken - must be considered, not just
some of those words. This paragraph is only a starting
point (process/method).
Logically the next step in the process should be this:
“Do peoples’ actions line up with what they say or
write”, but it’s not; There is another vital (crucial)
step in the process first - the distinction between
words; for example the distinction (difference) between
liberty and freedom, country and nation, democracy and
republic, mankind and humanity, individual and person,
spirit and ghost, soul and spirit, spirit and Spirit,
the words of God and The Word of God (aka God’s Word).
Overlook or eliminate the crucial (vital) detailed step
of this paragraph and you are opening
yourself up to being deceived in ways beyond
your wildest “dreams” - not “your” imagination.
[Cf. Gen.6:5 and Luke 1:51 also 2Cor.10:3-6]
The
preceding paragraph is but one reason why this
individual has consistently stated, “The Bible doesn’t
say anything; that book merely states
things”. Back to the vital (basic) step folks, to
“illustrate” the distinction between hearing and seeing,
saying and stating; “So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” [Rom.10:17]
What did Jesus actually
(really) mean when he
“said”: “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a
king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a
king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I
into the world, that I should bear witness unto the
truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
[John 18:37]
Is
that last question to time consuming to research, to
difficult for you to figure out (understand)? Let me
“simplify” [Cf. Prov.1:22-23] the question for you. The
Bible states, specifically Paul allegedly said, (hence
the necessity of “experience” - Cf. Acts 22:1-15, aka a
“Testimony”) “So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” So why are
you reading (seeing) this article reader? Perhaps
you are not interested in “faith”, or is it “Faith”?
Incidentally, why do “Christians” constantly state,
“Well the Bible says”, when Jesus claimed, i.e. “stated”
that, “My sheep hear (not read) my voice,
and I know them, and they follow me”. [John 10:27] Is
hearing the same as reading (seeing) folks? You figure
out the answer to that question. As this individual has
repeatedly stated, via saying and writing, “the Bible
doesn’t say anything (to a person or individual),
the Bible merely states things” (gives examples) so an
individual can learn and experience the CREATOR, and
eventually (hopefully) THE God (not a God or god) who
inspired the “scriptures” [Cf. John 5:39].
So
how does one start to understand the difference,
the distinction of/between “words” and
claims/statements? Do “we” use translation,
interpretation, and/or definitions? Does the “context”
approach (method) have any validity as well? You’ll have
to figure that “stuff” out for yourself someway,
somehow, starting with “words”.
How
about starting with, and thinking about these few
“details” too; who decided that the commonly referred to
“New Testament” is part of the “scriptures”? Was that
aforementioned section (the “New Testament”) of a book
entitled “The Holy Bible” in the “scriptures” Jesus
referred to in his time, i.e. John 5:39? How does the
following (next) verse (John 5:40) fit into today’s
lifestyles and society?
Perhaps this will help, read carefully folks: ‘Whom
shall he teach knowledge and whom shall he make to
understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk,
and drawn from the breasts. [Compare now 2nd
Cor.3:1-4] For precept must be upon precept, precept
upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a
little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and
another tongue will he speak to this people.
[Isa.28:9-11, also Ex.4:10-16]
I’ve put together a Manuscript that can be found under
the “tab” BOOK on this website. After two years I
finally got around to start sending this website’s
webmaster, and dear friend, some chapters of that
manuscript to “post” on this website. By the way, this
individual doesn’t have many “friends” nowadays, another
interesting physical and “SPIRITUAL” “real life”
Biblical issue. [Cf. 1st Sam, 3:1-10 and then
11-14]
Incidentally, to hear more about this
article, the following link is provided for the reader
first (?) and then the listener. [Cf. Isa.6:8/Acts
9:10] This particular program link will only be found
here, on this particular website.
Listen or Download MP3 here...
“What a Friend “I” Have in Jesus”; how about YOU
reader? Incidentally, the next chapter to be posted
(whenever) elsewhere on this website is entitled
“Gotcha”; and it will get you - unless you’re
“brain-dead”, soul -lishly that is. [Cf. Rom.
12:2, 1st Cor.2:16 and Rom.1:28] Are you
“connecting the dots” yet; putting any basic “pieces”
together yet? You better hurry up - the CREATOR’S clock
is “ticking”, and so is our “alleged” (un-Godly)
government’s “time clock”.
Oh
yeah, always watch and listen to where and how the
letter “i” or “I” is used/applied, directly or
indirectly! Here’s some “real life” examples, aka
illustration: “What a Friend “I” Have in Jesus”;
how about the word “sin” too. Do you “get it”? My
personal “Counselor” and “Comforter” suggested to me
that you readers and listeners of the Bible Mechanic
“check out” the words found in Matthew 6:22-23, -
regarding the word/letter “eye” - to see what you can
see, hear, and “get a grip on” - contextually (as a
starting point only) and personally (via experiences).
It all has to do with, and oft denied by humanity’s
“experts”, the “colonial” and early American
governmental phrase of - “No king but King Jesus”.
It’s been a long time since we had a government “of the
people, by the people, for the people…” Thus these words
from
Benjamin Franklin have now become our modern day
“reality” in America: “Men will ultimately be
governed by God or by tyrants.”
It’s been a long time since America the country has been
governed (not ruled) by the Spirit of God, i.e.
first your “love” and then the “LORDS” Attitude/“Power”.
THINK ABOUT THOSE statements and earthly examples
folks! [Cf. John 3:7/Acts 9:6 and Luke 24:49/Acts 9:17
also Math.3:11/Acts 2:1&3]
Wake up, and “get real” too - first WORD wise
- using ALL the words folks, not just some
of “them”! Here are some (3) examples of such.
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes
necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation…”
“For rulers are not a
terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then
not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same:
Love worketh no ill to
his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the
law.” [Rom.13:3 and 10 KJV]
“We the people of the United States, in order to form a
more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the
general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of America.”
I’ll conclude
this article with the three aforementioned “economic”
perspectives, which also includes the so-called
“government” creation of jobs and the political concept
of “redistribution of wealth”, the topics that Glenn
Beck has been explaining on his television programs for
a number of months. Did you get the three basic economic
perspectives?
Surprise: “You shall indeed look and look but
never see and perceive; you shall
indeed hear and hear but never grasp and
understand.” [Math.13:14 Amplified Bible] So, why
is that (physically/Physically); HOW come
folks (spiritually/Spiritually)? Yup, “It’s been a long
time”! [Cf. 2nd Peter 3:9 and 1st
Peter 4:17]
Sadly and
unfortunately the American public - including
“Christians” - cannot get past religious name tags and
political party labels. Sadly and unfortunately the
American public has accepted lies for truth and
therefore they ALL the people are bringing about this
country’s (America) destruction and the nation’s
demise “economically”, just as the Bible predicted (in
numerous places) at the individual, the “personal”, and
the corporate levels.
Therefore:
“Any man who reads too much, and uses his own brain too
little, falls into lazy habits of thinking”, so stated
Albert Einstein
“We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights…”
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States
of America
“Wise men are instructed
by reason; men of less understanding by experience; the
most ignorant by necessity; the beasts by nature.”

saved, but not all saved ‘Christians’ are born-again”.
