Just a Silly Story 12

Posted on October 10, 2018 by ehurst

As I expected, the troops are growing restless. I’ve noticed how a significant portion of Q’s followers are grouching about the lack of action in arresting the criminal cabal in Washington. Some of them are bound to be shills, of course, but that cannot mask the very real discontent from being drawn in with hyperbole that isn’t reflected in real events. The problem is that the hardest dirty work must take place behind the scenes with some degree of stealth and surprise.

So Q offered a long explanation without the usual cryptic short sentences. The gist of it is that it’s pointless to arrest anyone if the FBI won’t investigate and the DOJ won’t prosecute. The globalists spent the last two decades slipping their people into positions of power, to include virtually the entire upper staff of the FBI and DOJ. Those people have to be clawed out. Complicating things is how Q inserts the occasional disinfo to throw off the opposition.

Then Q listed a bunch that have been fired, and some who are pending. Some are easier than others. Firing Rosenstein is very dicey. He’s protecting Mueller, who is wasting a lot of FBI/DOJ resources and keeping things from moving forward on the real crimes. The only safe way to get rid of Rosenstein is to declassify all those documents the Inspector General is holding for review. Those documents will indict Rosenstein and pretty much force him to resign in disgrace. Mueller won’t be far behind (unless they agree to turn around and actually help Trump). Those documents will prove beyond all doubt that the whole Russiagate thing was pure lies — Rosenstein lied knowingly and intentionally to the FISA Court and that’s against the law.

So if you are watching this soap opera, the thing to look for next is the IG releasing that fat pile of documents for declassification. Congressional leaders are already loudly calling for this. And then keep your eye on Rosenstein. Meanwhile, all of those globalists officials in the FBI and DOJ are still being sifted, and quite a few are defecting and cooperating by telling all they know about the dirty deeds of others. Those who cooperate will get a better deal from the prosecutors.

This is the problem with movement politics. You are forced to deal with a vast horde of people who have never understood the system in the first place. Educating them is part of the process of removing corruption, because corruption is what made them ignorant in the first place. It’s very hard to explain all the details to people who never had a clue, and this factor has been very badly neglected. Q and company need to mobilize those with enough charisma in writing to make it clear why this must be a slow process. There are way too many with a burn-it-all-down attitude calling for immediate use of martial law to accelerate the process. Then again, it may well require that if there aren’t enough people in the system willing to actually do their jobs.

Along these lines, there is an ongoing investigation into Feinstein’s dealing with the Chinese. Q connects this with the (now disputed) claims of secret backdoor chips inserted into a great many computer motherboards in computers sold by SuperMicro here in the US. Seems the factories in China that supposedly did this dirty deed were in the same Chinese coastal province of Guangdong that Feinstein visited. She was followed by our spies there.

Finally, if I understand it correctly, on the news of Google’s data leak, the company has been ordered a judge to preserve records of this mess. The leak ran three years, and Google hid it for months after they found out. They hid it out of fear it would be an excuse for the government to walk in and assert regulatory controls, as it was right on the tail of news about Facebook’s similar leak. I’m not sure how Google’s data leak eventually was revealed, but it’s connected to management’s decision to shut down public access to Google+, their attempt to copy Facebook.

This is the nature of information warfare. Those involved have to take it seriously, and they are often coming from a very weakened and ignorant state, just like middle class suburbanites with all their electronic distractions trying to get through Marine Boot Camp. They cannot imagine what they are up against, and therefore cannot imagine what it takes to engage in warfare. Their tech savvy is highly specialized on the wrong end of the scale. Big Tech has sought to pacify the sheep and condition them to shearing. Folks have to understand that a large corporation is a defacto government agency, and must be treated so.

This is a lesson for us, as well. There is a good chance Trump/Q will eventually transform this simple-minded hoard into a better trained army. That same army will not be demobilized; they will be kept working on other things once the worst of the globalists are out of power. This is the warm-up for a future information war to support Zionism. But for now, we are watching a genuine civil war, and the globalists simply must go, because they are an even bigger threat to our faith.

In the past year or so we’ve seen major user data leaks from Twitter, Facebook and Google. Q says that none of these leaks were accidents. All of that data was simply handed over to the Democratic Party so they can gain some kind of advantage in targeting voters for the midterm elections.

There are lots of wild and improbable theories about Christine Blasey Ford’s failed performance before the Senate. The one that seems most probable is that she scores high on the psychopathy scale. Her long years of professional training in behavioral science enhanced her performance, but the damaged psyche is simply too obvious to folks trained in the same field. An analysis of both body language and handwriting offers a consistent picture of deep deception. The Democrats wasted no time in dismissing her once Kavanaugh was confirmed. Meanwhile, there are rumblings about charging her for perjury before the Senate.

This has nothing to do with whether Justice Kavanaugh ought to be on the Supreme Court, but it does show how a president who isn’t globalist is beating the system. The public consciousness is no longer in the hands of the globalists; Trump has an army of civilian reporters telling his side of the story. Q suggests that in the coming weeks the mainstream media may be forced to turn against their globalist masters just to survive. The unity of the globalist front will collapse and will not recover. That’s not to say liberalism will be dead, but these political battles will eviscerate the globalist plot behind some liberalism. It remains to be seen whether lefties can recover and reorganize without their globalist paymasters, but it won’t matter that much prophetically.

Some Democratic activists have already promised to keep trying to claw back this victory. It’s this kind of bitter hatred that will weaken their cause. God is against them and He is stripping away the false cover of pretended moral superiority.

Here’s something to consider: God placed some folks in this fallen world who are vulnerable. The moral measure of a society is not how they strive to empower the weak, but how they protect them. We have all these popular efforts to politicize, claiming give power to those whose position is naturally weak, and that is simply poking God in the eye. It’s the wrong answer. The right answer is to offer compassion and make life worth living even while weak and powerless. Seeking worldly power is evil; accepting it when God dumps it in your lap and making the best of a cursed situation is righteous.

There is only one moral justification before God for any political and economic policy: Care for the people. I’ve written before that a proper business goal is not profit, but maximum employment and maximum provision to consumers. It’s not the people themselves, but the caring that matters.

God has promised that if we focus on His revelation and what He says matters, that if we put social stability first and foremost as the primary goal of all things, then He will grant miracles and wonders to ensure it turns out for His glory. We are obliged to trust Him for the outcomes, but His promises assure us that His glory is always in our best interest. The current tribulation — which has just gotten started — is aimed at something far wider than simply the national sins of the US. His wrath is poured out on a human frame of reference that tries to pull from His hands all things He says are His to control, and rejecting His revelation of what He wants and plans to do.

This has nothing to do with enjoying the company of your fellow humans. That depends on your personality and divine calling, but the real issue is tolerating human stupidity because God tolerates yours. Tolerate it in the same way and to the same degree He does, and act with authority against those things He says you must not tolerate. Leave success or failure in His hands and devote yourself to a moral stand that He shows you.

And we know that the majority of the world will never rise to this divine moral standard. People will continue seizing power that they don’t know how to use, and harming everyone around them, including the rest of Creation. So God grants to us a vision of the truth about these things, knowing that we will laugh, cry and wonder at what mankind does. Then He shows us His handiwork and says, “Enjoy the show!”

Yet Another Discussion of Law and Grace

Posted on October 8, 2018 by ehurst

My religion is Christian Mysticism. I’m sure you’ll associate all kinds of ideas with that, and most of them will be wrong, but it’s the closest I can get for you, because I am not part of the mainstream.

That’s pretty much my answer when folks ask about my religion conversationally. It gives them a convenient mental reference point so they know to expect something different from me. It signals that I take faith very seriously, and if they really want to know, there will be some long conversations in store.

Part of what makes it difficult for folks likely to ask me that question is a raft of assumptions they have that folks never had in New Testament times. By the same token, they bore an approach to reality that never made it into our civilization. I suppose it helps if you understand that the common Greek-speaking person in the First Century Mediterranean Basin was hardly Aristotelian. Only a handful of highly educated folks even heard of Aristotle; the common Grecophone was likely to bear any number of pagan mystical influences and precious little rationalism. Indeed, so near as anyone can tell, almost everyone in that region and time were some kind of mystic.

Paul’s Letter to the Galatians was addressed to churches he planted within the Roman Province of Galatia — Derbe, Lystra, Pisidian Antioch and Iconium. There were relatively few actual Galatian people there; the Romans had taken the name for the province from a unique kingdom farther north populated by Celts who had entered the region as mercenaries and remained to form a ruling class over a native population. The actual population where Paul ministered was Lycaonian in Derbe and Lystra with no synagogues, so far as we can tell. Iconium was largely Phrygian, and there was a mixture of Phrygian and Lydians in Antioch, but both had a substantial Jewish population with synagogues.

Paul wrote this letter quite close in time to the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15. The letter reflects his frame of mind in dealing with the question of how Jewish the gospel message should be. His letter to Galatians reflects his strong emphasis on breaking with Judaism in general, in part because of the hostility from the Jews in that area. So there is almost nothing about how the Law of Moses was a manifestation of grace. Saying anything like that would simply give the Judaizers an opening, and his whole point was keeping them out.

Yet this is the same Paul who commanded the churches in later letters to study the Old Testament as their only scriptures at that time and apply the Sword of the Spirit to discern what the Covenant of Moses should mean to the followers of Christ (2 Timothy 2:15). And we cannot forget that Jesus Himself taught the Law, and all His miracles took place under the Law as valid expressions of the restoration of divine justice. The Lord’s emphasis in His ministry was just how far the Jews were from the actual Covenant, and how to get back to it.

The Jews rejected that message and doubled-down on their own perverted version of the Law. Jesus portrayed the Law as bringing fallen humanity back into harmony with Creation and His Father’s design for us. It was the one hope for making life better after the Fall. The Jews had made the Law into a pile of nit-picking rules that made life more difficult than it had to be, completely missing the whole point of the Law. They portrayed God as a capricious trickster, largely because it was their own character.

This was what Paul was facing when he wrote the Galatian letter, and it was part of the bigger set of problems he addressed in his Roman letter. In the latter he used the phrase, “not under Law, but under grace” (Romans 6:14-15). But in that same passage he is hammering his readers for running off with a fake grace that was lawless. The problem was the false dichotomy between a false “law” and a false “grace.” In your conduct, grace looks an awful lot like reverence for Law.

This is the basis behind my dispute with Reformation Christian doctrine, for example. The Lutherans maintain a legalistic opposition between grace and law, as if the Jews were actually right in their teaching of the Covenant. Most Christian religion founded during and after the Reformation get this wrong. I’ve taken a lot of senseless grief from American believers on this point. They seem to have forgotten that there is a phrase, “the Law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2 and 1 Corinthians 9:21).

So here we go again: A heart-led Christian walk is consistent with Biblical Law (AKA the Law of Christ). And there is no significant difference between the terms “Law of Christ” and “Law of Noah.” The latter is much narrowly expressed and more like a traditional law covenant, but the conduct is the same either way. The Law of Moses died on the Cross, but the Law of Noah stands as long as there are rainbows on the earth.

The whole point of mysticism is seeing through the Law Covenants to the heart of God’s divine moral character. Your fallen mind could begin to grasp the moral character of God, but only if your heart is ascendant. Even then it will surely take some time moving in that direction. We emphasize Biblical Law as the pathway to Christ. As it was in the ancient days when God called Moses, the customary way of getting to know your feudal master and owner was to engage his law covenant with your mind and heart until you could draw close enough to his will to become family.

The Law is not a barrier; sin is the barrier. Law is the path through the barrier. This is what’s behind our use of the label “Christian Mysticism.”

Moral Clarity on China, Russia and Trade

Posted on October 7, 2018 by ehurst

I wanted to clarify something political that seems to be poorly understood.

Let’s review: We have globalists who are trying another Tower of Babel operation. They operate as an idolatrous cult that takes a great deal from The Cult [PDF] in terms of how they operate. However, there is a rather recent split in the team between globalists and Zionists. They are diverging and cooperating less and less, all while maintaining their heritage in The Cult.

A critical element in globalist planning is to destroy the social fabric of the West, while still keeping the trappings of Western intellectual traditions as the base for moving forward into their dreams of a Utopian one-world government. They aren’t anti-West, just looking for a way to break the structure that hinders their domination. They hope to keep the Western assumptions about reality alive, just without the strong impulse for individual liberty.

In the current world political climate, the best way to do that is provoke a nuclear war with Russia. Given what we know of how such two countries have set up controls over their weapons of mass destruction, it is plausible to instigate a restricted nuclear exchange without total destruction. Both countries remain reluctant to fire off everything they have until it’s painfully obvious there is nothing else they can do. So limited retaliatory strikes are the standard doctrine, and all it takes is just a very small amount on both sides to bring down the systems of government. The system of government for both rests too firmly on popular perception and a general willingness to play along with the leadership.

The globalists are convinced they can step into this chaos and seize control. Keep in mind that the globalists are not just an American thing; Bilderberg is a globalist organization. The same goes for the likes of Council of Foreign Relations, Club of Rome, the UN, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, etc. Whatever they might have been at one time, they are all currently on board with the globalist agenda, though some are still linked to Zionism, too.

The US globalist cabal has long been pro-China for one primary reason: money. China is an independent source of investment funds, and there has been a tremendous fire sale of US secrets to China as the primary means of getting to their money. That Senator Feinstein had a Chinese spy on staff is just a small part of this game. It’s not that globalists love the Chinese; it’s the Chinese can be suckered into paying for a lot of stuff the globalists want to do.

Russia is by no means any kind of threat to us, but they are a threat to the globalists. The business of trying to sucker Russia into a limited nuclear exchange is to remove the current ruling regime there and reinstate the old globalist-communist oligarchy. Putin’s only real interest is his country and his people. He score far higher on the moral scale than most national leaders in the world today, though hardly any kind of saint. But you can be sure that virtually every propaganda smear against Russia these days is unadulterated bullshit. All of the UK’s hysteria is part of the same load of nonsense, along with Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

So it should be no surprise that Trump, in fighting the globalist cabal, would be more favorable to Russia as a reasonable ally against this evil force. And Trump is naturally hostile to China’s willingness to fund the globalists. Do you not realize that China’s bold move into the South China Sea was encouraged by the globalists? It was a part of the vast number of things the cabal is willing to sell to China. They know that it will eventually bankrupt China and could offer grounds for moving in to seize control there somewhere down the road. The apparent affinity is just the same cynical manipulation that characterizes everything globalists do.

But that same vulnerability in China’s economy can also be leverage by Trump’s trade policies. The recent revelation of Chinese factories inserting tiny chips in electronics sold to the US is one more justification for Trump’s plan to restore US manufacturing, a reversal of previous policies that favored off-shoring manufacturing. While it does guarantee a rise in consumer prices up front, it will eventually restore the roaring economy that carried us through post-WW2 prosperity. So-called “free trade” is not an unalloyed good; it weakens every nation in favor of private profit and eventual political control by business. That’s a very bad thing, in case it wasn’t obvious. It’s part of what God condemns in Scripture about the greedy, rapacious merchant cult.

Don’t be a sucker for the propaganda coming from the mainstream media.

Teachings of Jesus — Matthew 23:23-33

Posted on October 6, 2018 by ehurst

Jesus said that the Scribes and Pharisees were always missing the point. Stopping to consider in your heart what was really important is still hard work today. The rabbis had reduced the study of the Covenant Law to a mere matter of knowing the words. Further, they had totally dismissed the business of heart-led contemplation. The result was a petty legalism based on semantic gymnastics. Their Talmud was at that time a body of oral tradition full of smart-alecky excuses for taking moral short cuts. They engaged the words of the Law with their sharpened intellects, but it never touched their hearts.

Thus, Jesus pronounced woe upon them for tithing on the harvest of their window flower boxes, as if it was somehow superior covenant performance to turn over a pinch of dry herbs in the Temple. Yet it seemed they never grasped the admonition in Moses to promoting genuine moral justice, showing compassion, and pursuing a genuine personal commitment to Jehovah. Those things were reduced to lip service because there was no simple legalistic rule that could measure them as mere performance.

Their Talmud had a saying that anyone who smacked a tiny insect on the Sabbath were guilty of breaking the Law, the same as if they slaughtered a camel. They were the kind of people who would demand straining a whole jug of wine when a non-kosher insect appeared to have dropped into it, before it drowns and defiles the whole jug. Yet they were so morally blind they would swallow a camel-sized load of sin. Camels were the largest non-kosher animals in Palestine. What made it more memorable to the peasants listening to this was that the words for “camel” and “gnat” were almost the same in their native Aramaic — gamlâ versus qalmâ. They were so nit-picking about the extrapolated minutiae of kosher, as if they honestly believed it mattered to God, yet never understood His divine moral character.

They had extravagant detailed rules about washing the exterior of dishes on the Sabbath, but nothing about washing the remains of meals from inside. Didn’t this silly backwards attitude risk defilement, particularly on the Sabbath? Just so, their lives were externally neat and clean, but their souls were full of evil. They refused to understand that it was okay to wash dishes on the Sabbath in the normal fashion for the rest of the week. God didn’t have Moses write restrictions just to make life difficult. They were meant to mold a lifestyle more consistent with Creation, which in turn was designed according to His divine moral character.

Particularly around Jerusalem and other large towns on popular routes toward Jerusalem, local governing councils would commission work crews to plaster tombs with whitewashing lime. This prevented travelers on the way to Passover celebrations from touching a tomb and becoming ceremonially unclean. The cleansing ritual took a full week, and might make them miss attending the Day of Atonement in the Temple. It did make them quite beautiful when cast against the darker colors of natural stones in that part of the land. Jesus used that image as a parable for the Scribes and Pharisees: All gussied up on the outside and inwardly corrupt and defiling. The worshipers should be careful to avoid them, same as the tombs.

Speaking of tombs, it was a silly fetish of the Scribes and Pharisees to invest lavish decorations on the graves of the famous. They piously insisted they would not have mistreated those figures the same as their ancestors had done. Yet it was common knowledge that it was the Jewish leadership that had pushed the nation farther and farther from the Covenant. Anyone past their bar-Mitzvah could see that few of the promises of shalom were in evidence in their nation. Their sins hindered the promised blessings.

By confessing to be the children of those ancestors who abused so many prophets, they were admitting that they were even farther from the ancient ways. If the ancestors were foolish, more so the descendants. They were children of serpents — which typically symbolized being children of demons.

Just a Silly Story 11

Posted on October 5, 2018 by ehurst

Keep in mind that Q claims to be part of INSCOM, and INSCOM is part of the NSA. Thus, what the NSA can know by their snooping methods and technology, Q can know and leak. However, Q has warned that some of those leaks are intentionally disinformation to mislead the opposition. So the question is to pick through and guess which items are real and which are meant to deceive the target. Finally, a lot of Q stuff is just pompom shaking.

Today is the final floor debate over Kavanaugh. Tomorrow is the vote, probably later in the day. On the way to this moment, NSA has been studiously listening to a lot of private negotiations via the ubiquitous cellphones senators carry. They can snoop on every phone in the America with few exceptions, but they can’t focus on everyone at the same time. One or two of those targets they can focus on in the Senate may actually be under a secret warrant, Feinstein in particular.

We’ve already seen one staffer (Jackson Cosko) arrested for doxing a senator, among other charges. Some trusted interpreters of Q’s leaks agree together there should be a succession of major events during this month. We are led to believe that a select group of indictments will be unsealed against a handful of key members of the cabal. Once those figures are out of circulation, the way will be clear to grab others.

So we have this promise that this is the month when things really get rolling. I have a hunch that a big part of this Q leakage was specifically aimed at preventing the militia types from getting into action. There has been an awful lot of secret maneuvering that even Q isn’t leaking, and without the leaks and the growing online troll army, everything that mattered would be kept secret and the militia would get antsy. This way, there’s a popular level of information leaking out that is plausible, all the while flatly stating from time to time that Trump and his gang will sometimes throw out some false signals just to keep his opponents off balance.

Once or twice the Q team has had to come up with some excuses for having to walk back a bold statement about something supposed to happen. So far, it appears the explanations are working and the fan base is still growing. I’ve not seen anyone calling out Q as a fraud after having been deeply involved. There have always been shills for the opposition, but no one with any kind of pull with the crowd has defected yet.

However, I sense that there had better be some action this month from the DOJ going after some major figures, or this thing is going to break down. The anticipation is rising to a fever pitch. The successful confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh is necessary, but hardly enough meat to keep the raging lions quiet.

Finally, we cannot afford to forget that all the tricks used against Trump’s current enemies will be used in turn against those who oppose things he starts to do once he’s got a firm grip on his executive power.

Imprecatory Ride

Posted on October 4, 2018 by ehurst

The bikeway loop closes here.

During times of tribulation is when you see the most miracles.

Let’s review. When Christ rose from the grave, He merged law and faith into a single Covenant in His blood. Of course, we know that law still works for those without faith. That’s what evangelism is: Demonstrating Biblical Law to people who don’t have it. That’s about as much as most people will recognize at first. The Law is a gateway to faith, though. It’s just the starting point for something far bigger.

But it’s not a bad place for those whose faith does not awaken for awhile. This is why we emphasize Biblical Law as a matter of lifestyle and conduct. It gets you in the door for His promised shalom. We often break that down into reasonable prosperity and provision, health and healing, safety from threats, and a social stability that makes life tolerable until He calls us Home. These things are our witness to the world outside the Covenant. And we try to make it contagious by offering peace and compassion to anyone who will take it.

Within this frame of reference, those of you led by the heart will have a mission and calling that sets you apart. But it serves us well to break things down to the simplest terms now and then, and all the more so during times of tribulation.

I’d be quite surprised if some of you don’t see the darkness crawling across the US. Every day I can sense from the moral realm the creeping demonic madness that slowly metastasizes on our society. The world around us has no protection because they reject the Covenant, any covenant.

When you know that tribulation has been decreed, the thing to do is begin praying that His wrath falls on you, first. “Start with me, Lord!” Because for those of us in Christ, His wrath is gentle and healing. For those outside the Covenant, it is madness and chaos. It’s the same hand of God; the difference is whose you are.

On today’s ride, I felt moved to imprecatory prayer (see Psalm 35 for a sample). I got to a regular prayer spot and stopped to perform a vaguely priestly ritual, something any of us can do when the Spirit moves. It was simple; I faced the direction the Lord told me and raised my hands. Sometimes I faced the palms outward, and sometimes turned my palms up, to match the tone of the words. You don’t need a recitation of specific wording, just an outline for your own words.

I called on the Lord to come for a visit, and to start with me. I wanted the cleansing of His wrath on my own sins and weaknesses, confessing my unworthiness. Then I asked Him to see the enemies of His revelation and how they were oppressing His children. I associated the globalists with the Tower of Babel and called for His hand of confusion to work among them, to divide them and set them against each other. I prayed that Trump would be successful in smashing them here in the US, while others acted as His whip hand in other places. Then I prayed for eyes to be opened, that the congregation of the heart-led would grow.

Time enough somewhere down the road to pray against the Zionists and imperialists. Today the issue is globalist idolatry.

There was a time when my bicycling was all about having time to get reacquainted with myself and with the natural world around me. I needed the solitary workout to clear my head. Consequently, I didn’t ride that hard most of the time. Most of my rides were to reduce the clutter in my soul until I reached a good place to stop and pray, a functional chapel. That has become less of an issue now, as I ride more for the health effects. My time on earth is limited and I want my fitness to be as high as possible so I can live with vigor and strength for as long as I last. Riding is one of the few things left my body can do for aerobic effect. Given what I teach, is it any surprise I focus on keeping my heart strong? Thus, I ride pretty hard now and stop only when the Spirit moves strongly.

Keep your focus on the core of the Covenant and see the mighty works of God in the midst of tribulation.

Science Not Pointless, But Can Be

Posted on October 3, 2018 by ehurst

I’m responding to this article. For those familiar with the study of philosophy, it seems rather simple. However, for those who aren’t used to delving into fundamental cultural assumptions, it may be challenging.

The biblical position is in two steps. One: Mankind is fallen and human intellect cannot be trusted. Two: This world is doomed, but we are still obliged to continue acting in this world according to our best understanding.

Nothing in the Bible inhibits genuine curiosity that results in science. This may well be your calling from God, so plunge right in. But don’t take yourself too seriously; don’t expect to find great answers to human problems. The human problem is moral, not material. It is quite true that you are encouraged to follow your own inner drive to study whatever calls out to your curiosity, but you should never be frustrated about the limitations on what you can know that way. Science isn’t required, nor even does it significantly enhance, the more important question of obeying divine revelation.

You see, your intellectual curiosity is itself a gift from God. But even when scientists acknowledge that, they tend to say, “Thanks God; we’ll take it from here.” The inherent position of virtually all Western intellectual inquiry has been that the intellect is not fallen. It’s not a question of whether the mind can accurately assess what it investigates. The problem is that the mind without divine guidance cannot know what questions are proper.

We would do well to remember that Western science didn’t arise in a vacuum. Without the influence of Muslim discoveries it would have taken far longer for the West to have gotten anywhere. If nothing else, the Arabs preserved knowledge (from Greece and India) that would otherwise have been lost in the West. But the Western approach, including all its antecedents, is deeply tainted with a wholly unjustified confidence in human capability. That Western scholarship had lost contact with its own classical roots should signal a warning that Western scholarship had also lost contact with the ancient Hebrew roots of Christian religion.

Too much of math and science is pointless fact-chasing without any moral restraint. Modern science pointedly rejects moral restraint in a certain sense. What little moral consideration there is can be defined as mere material progress, the basic meaning behind such goals as “the betterment of the human condition.” Therein lies the real problem: If we had all knowledge necessary to manipulate all physical materials, it would not resolve the single greatest human problem of our fallen nature.

The article linked above presents a false set of choices by never accurately presenting the biblical position. The Bible presumes thinking about things on multiple levels. The article presumes a necessity of thinking about things on one level only. This is the fatal flaw in any Western approach to Scripture.

Human decision-making cannot rest on one level without at least a tacit rejection of revelation, because revelation itself presumes a multilevel approach to awareness. It takes us back to the Western rejection of the heart-mind. We can get Western science to recognize that the heart is a sensory organ, but we cannot get it to accept the presence of a separate human faculty for assessing the moral value of things. Western thinking insists that moral reasoning must be folded into the intellect, instead of the proper approach of trusting that higher faculty to inform and direct the intellect.

Let’s remind ourselves that the Bible flatly asserts that the heart is above and separate from the intellect. The Bible also flatly says that this world is doomed and cannot be fixed, and that any pursuit in this world must meet the moral test of whether it points men back to their Creator. All the science in the world, including all future and potential discovery, means nothing if we haven’t faced the issue of human fallen nature.

Furthermore, the Bible presumes you understand that Creation is not fallen, so that mankind is disconnected from our created design of direction communion with Creation. All human inquiry is morally pointless because, without deferring to the heart-mind, the intellect is plainly incapable of fully grasping what any science can discover. In guttural terms: Facts don’t mean shit because they aren’t eternal. They have no bearing on eternal questions. Getting a proper perspective on the use of facts isn’t possible without the leadership of the heart-mind. The heart-mind is the only faculty capable of touching eternity.

Just a Silly Story 10

Posted on October 2, 2018 by ehurst

As usual, this is labeled “fiction” because I cannot verify any of this.

This item strikes me as hyperbole to some degree. Yet, it does have a kernel of truth. The violent hatred of the globalists and their minion movements (SJWs, BLM, Antifa, etc.) had to come out sooner or later. This is the relentless trend of leftist movements; they are communist by nature. There are people openly calling for Kavanaugh’s and Trump’s assassination, and not just a handful of nobodies. Some of these are college professors at major universities, for example.

I certainly wouldn’t put it past the CIA to do some of this. There are plenty of unexplained deaths that have been written off officially as suicides. The technology is a lot better than in JFK’s day. Q suggested more than once that people have tried to assassinate Trump already. Naturally, because of what’s involved, it hasn’t been publicized. If there is a tipping point to get the right-wing militia types into action, it would be a left-wing attempt at assassination that was more public. What’s most galling about it right now is how the Big Tech services refuse to shut down this very public chatter in favor of killing Trump and other Republicans, but they have steadily silenced anyone with a right-wing voice.

Meanwhile, we could see the FBI arrest a few congressional staffers, if not a Senator or two. As you might expect, any move against a Democratic politician, regardless how plainly justified, will result in violent rioting. There are a host of local affiliates funded by globalists all over the US standing by to riot on cue. This is likely to affect you, as it has already geared up in some places.

Q reiterates that a leak from Twitter indicates a plan already approved by the CEO to silence Trump’s account at some crucial moment and use again the same excuse as before that some “rogue” employee got out of control. However, we already know the last time Twitter pulled that, it was to allow the CIA to plant a virus on President Trump’s personal cell phone. The NSA caught it and blocked it. This is the kind of ugly stuff going on behind the scenes, and it will inevitably result in bloodshed.

So the non-fictional part of this is: Be ready for it folks. Please don’t be shocked when it starts. These people are not just making noise; it’s a violent coup and it could easily result in that violent right-wing backlash I’ve long prophesied would come. Stay out of this stuff; remain aloof and neutral, but be aware of it and how it works.

Hopeless without the Heart

Posted on October 1, 2018 by ehurst

I don’t usually wait this late in the day to post, but this is something that stayed hidden in the depths of my soul until just now. It percolated all day and I knew it was there, but it took time for me to be ready to see it consciously. This dynamic is part of the truth I now need to share.

Without the heart-led consciousness, nothing works as it should. Nothing in your existence as a human will ever match the possibilities God granted unless you subject your intellect to the heart. The heart, in turn, must be subjected to the Spirit of God.

One example in particular that troubles us all one way or another: You cannot possibly have social harmony without a heart-led covenant existence. That means you cannot have racial harmony, among other things, without the full power of the heart-led awareness. Humanity will always be at war until we return to our proper designed functions. This is why the Lord must destroy every Tower of Babel, because that sort of unity always comes with the most degrading tyranny and oppression.

So our advice to the world at large that refuses to walk heart-led is this: Stay in your segregated cultural societies. Don’t mix races and cultures because it will always lead to conflict and slavery. God spoke loud and clear at the Tower of Babel and His message was just that. Don’t mix until you can activate the heart-led existence. Otherwise, it will without fail always lead to conflict, oppression and slavery. Every attempt to create a cosmopolitan society always leads you back to the Devil. He fools people into believing they can do it, but without the power of the Spirit, it is utterly impossible.

It requires an identity that comes only from above, eclipsing all other human identities. Peace is not possible without a heart-led covenant.
