Of No Significance

Posted on September 10, 2018 by ehurst

Insofar as there is such a thing as “fate,” it’s best to view it as a person, not mere machinery. The choices you make do not simply ripple out into the future. Often the future ignores things you do and your choices don’t change anything significant.

Thus, when it’s all said and done, it won’t matter much. This world, as we know it, is slated for oblivion. Never forget: God is in control. When He’s finished with our fallen existence, we die. When He’s finished with the world’s fallen existence, He will send His Son back to restore things to their rightful condition.

Until then, the only choices that really matter are those that touch the moral sphere. It requires a moral consciousness to act with any significance. Humans have no significance in God’s Creation without referencing His divine moral character. Without the heart-led awareness, people are little more than intelligent cattle.

This is hard to swallow. It’s not as if people have no significance to us individually, but we need to grasp fully that human mortality is just a circumstance. The dream of human significance in this life rests on the fallacy that this world matters. This world is fallen and is a perversion of God’s hope for us. It won’t matter what we think is fair; we bear the Curse of the Fall from birth. By His divine mercy, He grants us an out by allowing us to reconnect to moral consciousness and to His Creation.

This myth of human significance needs to die before we can begin to see our way out of the Curse. So long as we operate from that notion, we cannot see God’s hand. Whatever we mean by the word “fate,” it is nothing more than God’s divine will. His divine will pays little heed to anyone who does not bow the knee to His revelation. Every human holds the potential for embracing His revelation, but until they do, they just aren’t important in His considerations.

Social Patience

Biblical Law is its own reward. It puts you in tune with Creation, which changes everything. Even better is how it creates a moral aura around your life that people notice. One of the greatest gifts from God is when you can bless someone and they honestly appreciate it. Even more so if there’s no way they can repay.

There’s an empty spot for us today because the family across the breezeway has moved out. It was a single mom with four little girls, and sometimes one or another boyfriend. We never bothered to judge or offer sage advice, just did what we could to make life a little brighter for them and protect their interests. The girls were friendly to us and I treated them like my own grandchildren. They were a treasure for us and they knew it. Now they have a house actually big enough for all of them, but far away.

The sense of loss is intensified by the probabilities of what might replace them. We are in a bad cycle right now, with new neighbors that are troublesome. I say “cycle” because that’s really how it works. When we first moved in here, we had some folks we could get along with, though they weren’t wonderful people. After a little swapping in and out, we had some pretty good neighbors for awhile. They all moved on and slowly it went downhill. We’ve got trashy people now and I’ve backed off my aggressive litter pick-up because it’s just overwhelming.

There’s one decent retired guy alone who keeps to himself. He responds well to my friendly overtures. Everyone else is stand-offish and the overflow of their unruly lives is sometimes downright painful. But I won’t tell them that; it serves no good purpose, and would surely make things worse. I grew up among such folk and I know them well. If they don’t approach me like an authority figure voluntarily, then I wield no authority.

There are some good chances one or more will turn to us for some kind of support when things start to get rough. They may well turn into good neighbors once God starts working on them. Or maybe the economic troubles and the social upheaval coming could drive some riff-raff out. And the next occupants across from us may well be just as sweet in their own way as the last bunch. God knows, and He’s not telling us, but I keep praying that we can be useful to His glory.

Meanwhile, the typical cycle of such things calls for endurance and patience.

Teachings of Jesus — Matthew 22:23-46

Posted on September 8, 2018 by ehurst

In these three conversations, most people can understand the point of each teaching. What most readers miss is the divine mystery of revelation itself that ties these teachings together. Your Bible is ink on paper; there’s nothing special about that. It’s not the printing, nor the expensive paper, nor the leather binding that makes it sacred. Nor are the words themselves all that critical, but when you approach the written record of revelation with a heart-led faith in God, the words come to life and speak to your very loudly of things beyond words. Unless revelation comes to life in your soul, the Bible is still just ink on paper. The book itself has no power in itself.

The Sadducees were strict about rejecting everything except the Pentateuch itself. They paid no attention to the prophets and other writings. They did not believe in a spirit realm, per se, but insisted that God is the only spirit being. When humans die, that’s the end of them. So they came to Jesus with a bogus question about eternity.

The question assumes you understand the Mosaic Law regarding inheritance. In the normal course of events, the eldest son marries first. His inheritance is a double portion; any younger brothers get one share each. If he dies childless, the next brother in line takes the first brother’s widow in addition to any other wife he may have married. He is to care for her and impregnate her and raise up children to receive the inheritance of the eldest brother. The only temptation here is that if his brother’s wife has no children, then that double portion is redistributed to the surviving brothers.

In the Sadducees impossible story, seven brothers obey the Law and pass off the first brother’s wife in succession, all seven dying childless. Finally the widow dies. Their question was just plain goofy — to whom is she married in the world to come? Now, the Pharisees would tell you it was the first brother, but Jesus voids the whole question. Only fallen fleshly bodies can reproduce. Resurrected bodies are like angelic bodies, spiritual beings that neither die nor give birth. So there’s no need to be married, either. (Notice that angels cannot have sex or reproduce.)

Then He goes on to slap them upside the head about their false doctrines. Quoting Exodus 3:6, one of the books they accept as Scripture, Jesus notes that Jehovah told Moses He was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, at that point all dead some 400 years. Yet the Lord would not claim to be the God of someone who didn’t exist. Those three were still alive and in His Presence. The Sadducees knew the words of the Pentateuch, but had rejected the message.

If the crowd of peasants listening were surprised at His authoritative answer to the rulers of the nation, they had more coming. The Pharisees took their turn and we can only guess what they had in mind, but they started off with the question of which was the greatest law. It was a pointless question, but one that was quite commonly debated among them. They used it often in their teaching, as well. Perhaps they hoped to catch Him in something during the debate that should have followed. Jesus didn’t take the bait, but took a different tack entirely, avoiding the standard matrix of judicial precedent.

Quoting from two different passages, Jesus said the first from the Shemah (Deuteronomy 6:4-5) was the greatest, calling for the Covenant Nation to commit themselves completely to Jehovah as their true feudal Master. The second commandment was to love your Covenant brother and sister as yourself (Leviticus 19:18). In other words, treat those under the same covenant as members of your extended family household. Their welfare was yours. Get these two commandments right and you can easily understand everything else in Scripture.

This shut them up, so Jesus took His turn and queried them. His question was technical in the sense of inheritance: Whose authority does the Messiah inherit? The Pharisees gave the obvious answer that it was King David’s royal authority; the Messiah would be King of Israel. Quoting from David’s own psalms, Jesus asked how David could call his own heir “Lord”? There was no Talmudic tradition covering this question, and the Pharisees and Scribes weren’t ready to debate this and give a definitive answer.

It’s very loud and clear: You cannot treat revelation like any other teaching or writing. Reducing Scripture to words and principles insults the God who commissioned the writing. If you do not see beyond the words to the divine moral character of God, then you have no idea what the book says in the first place.

Just a Silly Story 06

Posted on September 8, 2018 by ehurst

The Q nerds claim the following.

1. In a few days the President will order declassification of the FISA warrant papers that were used to justify spying on him. The objective is to clarify who was responsible for making that decision and on what grounds. It is intended to show conclusively that the whole Trump-Russia thing was based on lies, and that the folks involved knew they were lies. This should serve to obliterate the support for keeping Mueller’s investigation going.

2. You should be aware that Flynn was the head of Military Intelligence during Obama’s Administration. During that time, a significant number of generals and admirals were dismissed because they refused to pledge loyalty to Obama if he should call for martial law. This was about the same time a military coup was being planned. Of course, there was no way to remove the thousands of key military folks who supported those fired generals, so they simply put their coup on hold and kept track of everything happening via their NSA connections.

At some point, this community of military folks approached Trump about running for President. He agreed on the grounds they would prevent vote tampering. They delivered. All the predictions of Clinton’s victory were based on the assumption that the vote hacking would succeed, but the Military Intelligence community hindered that tampering.

Flynn knows all of this and has actual evidence. Mueller went after him for what should be obvious reasons. However, the Mueller team failed to account for something: They don’t actually control the legal process. It has to follow certain rules and plenty of DoJ folks are looking over their shoulders to make sure it’s all legal. Once Flynn was charged, he was offered the standard plea agreement stuff that included a solemn vow that he would report all evidence of any crimes he knew about. He’s been introducing all that evidence into the record. Mueller either has to investigate or turn it over to someone higher up the chain to investigate; he can’t sit on it or try to erase it all. The number of sealed indictments has exploded since Flynn’s plea agreement was signed this last spring, and his case keeps getting delayed.

3. Awhile back the federal government announced plans for an emergency message system to the public based on cellphone texting. But for roughly a year, nothing has come of it. Now it’s being implemented, and the timing is noteworthy. According to the scuttlebutt, all those sealed indictments will be opened in October sometime. Actual arrests will commence the first week of November. You would naturally expect the globalists to stir up riots over this, since it’s aimed at their people. It will surely require some measures of martial law, and this alert system will ensure the President’s side of the story gets through, without all the smothering fake news from the MSM.

4. The Alex Jones censorship scandal was cooked up to set the precedent for encouraging a public acceptance of silencing anti-globalists. Jones portrays himself as a kook with marginal support at best. He’s the top of a slippery slope by which Big Tech, a branch of the globalist cabal, can justify shutting down Q and the nerd herd supporting Trump. This much should be obvious to anyone, so it’s not just a wild conspiracy theory.

At the same time, Jones has been trying to infiltrate the nerd patriot community. He provoked his own censorship because he’s an opportunist whose only limits are that he must protect Zionism. The nerd herd is generally anti-Zionist; they are mostly nationalist in sympathies, not imperialists like Jones. This is one big complicate mess.

By the way, Corsi is trying to bail on testifying before Mueller’s grand jury. He’s trying to negotiate a private interview. Either way, if Corsi tells the truth about himself and Jones as agents of a foreign intelligence agency, it serves to justify leftist censorship of the right. Q and the nerd herd gets tarred with the same brush as Corsi and Jones.

============

Most of this cannot be proved, though it does match some of what I already know. I’ve had a lot of close friends in Military Intelligence. They never spilled anything that mattered, but they sure had a lot to say about things that weren’t secret, just not well known. The probability of a military coup was something I knew a long time ago. Had Clinton won, I would have been willing to join their cause.

As it is, the Lord is faithful and keeps His word. I was convinced the apocalypse was pushed aside in favor of a more bearable tribulation, in part because we began teaching the heart-led way, though surely for other reasons we could never grasp. That’s just it — God could reveal a lot more, but we wouldn’t know what to do with it. Instead, we are granted insight into the few things we can handle. God is merciful.

Radix Fidem is not exclusive.

It’s not necessary to walk in our teaching to serve God and harvest His shalom. We need to be careful to remember that there are a great many heart-led folks of faith out there who see no reason to search for something other than their current religious activity. There is no need to pull them in, but everyone is welcome who wants what we offer.

I’ve been giving a lot of prayer and contemplation to where I’m going in faith, and it naturally raises questions about where I hope to carry this thing we do here at Kiln of the Soul virtual parish. As I said every early in the game some years ago: There’s nothing to keep you from absorbing what we teach and taking it into any mainstream religious organization. You really should try to find God’s peace where He leads you, and I would never pretend to know what He wants for you.

What’s left is that we have here in our parish a handful of folks who simply don’t belong in that setting. We have no home in a regularly constituted church meeting because the Lord has called us to things they won’t do. And this is why I keep the religion — Radix Fidem — separate from the parish — Kiln of the Soul. You can steal all you like from Radix Fidem’s ideas. Those ideas aren’t unique to us; only the writing itself is copyrighted. But to be a part of the parish means you submit to my eldership; we simply cannot get things done without that.

I know from experience that the standard outreach to new prospects is completely out of place. The folks who respond to something like that aren’t a good fit. It must be limited to people whom the Lord leads here by His own inscrutable ways. And those who do join us are by no means restricted to what we do here. You’ll notice we don’t have prescribed rituals, for example. The whole question of membership rests on nothing more than humoring me and anyone else who has a claim to leadership (Jay DiNitto at this point). And when I’m gone, I can’t pretend to lay restrictions on how the new senior elder will run things. But obviously it’s restricted to what a virtual community is in the first place.

But in a much wider sense, I cannot see how we gain anything at all by putting up any barriers that don’t already exist by the nature of what we are doing. We are seeking a sense of peace with God that indicates His favor, as manifested by certain promises in the Bible. One of those promises is a fellowship and shared faith with others, because the whole thing presumes others will be drawn. Surely we can’t include those who would disrupt our discussions, but it’s really not exclusive beyond that. Disruptive people exclude themselves; we have no other interest in keeping folks in or out.

And by all means, take fellowship and share worship in this world whenever and wherever the Lord makes it possible.

I’ve long said Alex Jones and Infowars represent a pro-Israel controlled opposition. Thus, Jones often says stuff that is accurate, but then mixes in a bunch of crap. Not long ago he insisted that he had spoken to Q and knew who it was. Q denied this and explained the principles of operation for the official leaks — Q speaks to nobody except professional associates and Trump (Trump, by the way, is styled “Q+”). Meanwhile, Jones continues to loudly support Trump, but much of his chatter conflicts with what Q says.

So when Jones was bumped off several different Big Tech services and started whining about censorship, it diverted an awful lot of attention. This came at the same time all the different news outlets started attacking Q and saying it was just a cult. All the while, various shills for the globalists continue to attack Trump and Q and Jones as if it were all one thing, repeatedly linking them despite loud protestations from Q’s nerds that they are no friend of Jones.

Nobody is in favor of Jones’ censorship. Let the idiot talk and let him fool anyone silly enough to believe his crap. He’s making a good living. But part of his stupidity includes a writer named Jerome Corsi. Corsi has joined the chorus attempting to defame Q and the nerds.

Turns out Corsi was long ago unmasked as an agent of Mossad. And he works with Jones a lot. Corsi is linked to Free Speech Systems, LLC, also pegged as a front for Mossad. Free Speech Systems in turn is affiliated with Jones. It should be obvious we can consider Jones another Mossad agent.

By the way, Corsi was involved in an infamous fraud that ripped off numerous investors in Minnesota to the tune of a million dollars. The FBI refused to investigate, and that’s par for the course when it involves Mossad.

Here’s what surprised me: Lots of Q nerds have no love for Israel. More than one of them quoted an earlier message from Q about “saving Israel for last.” I’m not too sure about that, because too often Q vividly supports the military action that is nothing more than Israel’s dirty work. I’m not sure what to make of all that, since Trump compromised in a dirty deal with Zionists before he was elected.

Anyway, Corsi is testifying before Mueller today as the latter continues his bogus investigation of Trump’s alleged Russian connections.

In related bits and pieces, Trump’s TV Network channel was removed from YouTube, another case of censorship. And the Q nerds are making a big deal out of a brief exchange between Kavanaugh and Senator Graham during the hearing on whether Kavanaugh is confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice. The exchange was a matter of law: If US citizens can be charged with treason, could they be made to stand before a military tribunal? Yep. So if any of the globalists are charged with treason…

Can You Imagine?

How deep does the rabbit hole go?

There are a handful of people who claim to have survived the mind-control programs of the CIA and other government and private agencies. There are also a handful of insiders who claim to have turned against their former commitments and now expose the awful things they know about.

These are not normal people. I realize that raises the question of what defines “normal” but let’s put that aside for a moment and recognize that the average nobody in our world tends to a lot closer to normal than these alleged escapees of programs with nightmarish features and nightmarish ends. When typical humans are exposed to demonic insanity, no one should be surprised at how it warps them. The perpetrators are most assuredly warped.

I’ve seen what harmless clinical hypnosis can make people do. Some experiments show them becoming willing assassins with no memory of the deed. How does that affect your understanding of the crazies arrested after murdering one or more people? If rather ordinary folks can be manipulated that way so easily, should we be surprised when someone who has been through the ringer on torture and abuse would struggle to remember some of the crazy shit done to them? As it is, any number of us could experience the same event together and no two of us would remember it the same.

You can look up Cathy O’Brien and some of the crazier things she has said. If there is any truth at all to what she claims, we should expect a lot of stuff making no sense at all to us. Feel free to discard what you can’t process. That’s the same ethic I use for myself; you aren’t obliged to buy into my narrative. But if God moves you to read my stuff, it is your duty to Him to hear some of what I say and discuss it with Him. Just the same, pray about what Cathy O’Brien has to say. Don’t buy every word, but hear the underlying message:

https://youtu.be/2pzp6VR7zJ8

So why do I mention her? What’s the point for us? I certainly don’t endorse her call for action and agitating to change the laws. It’s not that she’s wrong, but it’s simply beside the point for us. What I hope is that you’ll become aware of just how deep the evil goes. I want you to find it hard to ignore just how clearly Satan’s hand prints are all over this.

I want you to stop believing the lies the mainstream world tells. I want to shake you loose from being a mainstreamer. It’s not necessary to buy into another variation within the mainstream — such as most evangelical churches represent — but to break away completely. The heart-led moral outlook is radically different from all of that.

Not every politician, CIA agent, nor even every globalist is demonized like this. But the agencies are generally run for the benefit of Satan’s grip on the souls of the fallen, and some of the folks running things are most assuredly witting agents of Hell. Efforts to avoid knowing about this stuff will inevitably leave gaps in your spiritual armor. You don’t have to dig deep into all the details, but you should be aware of just how crazy that dark world is. More importantly, you need to see just how close it is to us.

Quick reminder: Reality is not a thing we can pin down and study. Reality is a person you get to know like any other person. Reality treats each of us just a little differently. Cathy O’Brien’s reality is just as feasible as yours and mine.

Don’t Wait for Me

Posted on September 5, 2018 by ehurst

By no means do I have control over Radix Fidem. All I did was give a name to something that was a lot bigger than me. And the last thing I want is to see this become elitist, but it’s really not for me to decide.

We are so used to thinking in terms of religion as a movement, some kind of pulling people together under a worldly goal aimed at changing human activity. Radix Fidem is nothing like that. We are nothing more than a refuge for people who already know they need something that the system refuses to provide. That does tend to limit who even finds out about us.

We live in a world that has restricted things by leaving precious few options. There’s not much of any way for us to advertise what we do with faith and religion. So far it’s just the random encounters with folks who felt driven to seek a better way, and found us on the Internet. Any of the more active ways of seeking converts are all dirtied by previous zealots and fools giving it a bad name. All that’s left is living the truth and trusting our Lord to make human encounters turn into evangelism by example.

Right now it’s pretty hard to share this with other folks because they are all expecting something else, automatically associating us with things we don’t represent. It’s a struggle to overcome those false expectations. It’s not that God can’t use us to reach ordinary people, but that we should generally expect most of our outreach to fall upon people who are already driven.

In terms of strategy, all I have is some limited prophetic guidance. I know that this time of tribulation is a major opportunity for us in the sense that the Lord is sifting hearts with it. A higher percentage of the population around us will become driven with a sense of urgency to find something better. What we offer has to be better or it won’t work too well.

Still, it’s important for us to remember that anyone can be heart-led to as much truth as they need to serve the Lord and find His favor. That’s part of why we focus less on all the chatter about spiritual birth; that happens as a miracle of God’s hand. There is no effective means of human interaction on that level. Instead, we focus on what we can do and what we can talk about: seeking God’s favor. That is the core of all divine revelation; it’s the heart of Scripture.

That sounds pretty simple in one sense, yet it represents a profound change in thinking about religion. This is how we are a departure from the rest of what’s out there. Again, I’m not in charge of this, and we aren’t the only people with this approach. My part is simply chattering about what it means for me, in hopes that it means something to you, too. Please, be ready to carry this forward with out me, because I have no idea when the Lord is going to declare my mission complete, and He calls me home.

Who Shall Believe Their Report?

Posted on September 4, 2018 by ehurst

We live in a fairly civilized world today. Most of humanity at least gives lip service to the idea of human rights. We put a lot of stock in education. There was a time in history when things like geometry and algebra were considered black magic, but most kids are acquainted with those subjects, even if they have no idea what math is good for. And a lot arcane knowledge about the natural world is now pretty easy to find and read on the Internet, if you are interested, to include physics, chemistry, medicine and psychology.

This vast lore of knowledge makes it hard to imagine a world where such was considered secret and forbidden knowledge, and poorly understood even by those allowed access. Complicating the picture further is the way such primitive science was held by the same people who dabbled in what we now view as superstitious magic. It makes it very hard for people to give credence to the idea of angels and demons, for example. It makes it very hard to believe in God, much less the vast lore of revelation.

This is why we struggle with the idea of Creation as a living and sentient person. We are programmed to dismiss that even when Scripture flatly uses such terminology. Jesus rebuked the storm, but our minds insist it was just symbolic action, never mind whether He actually had the power to calm a storm. He ordered demons out of people, and we automatically call it psychological manipulation. All of that sort of thing gets pushed off into Spookyland, and with it goes a whole raft of miracles and teaching about the powers of Darkness. It causes a serious problem with intellectual tension, because we must believe, and yet we continue operating in our religious organizations as if none of it was true. We affirm it, and then organize in ways that deny it.

Frankly, it’s a divine miracle when people can get past all that resistance and start to see the hand of God in their world. Even then, it’s quite a struggle to wade through all that conditioning to begin understanding the wonderful things God gave people in the Bible. If you stay the course long enough, you see some of those wonderful blessings leaking into your own life. Eventually you are in a position to reclaim the lost lore of Creation and how some of the wholly inexplicable feats of the past were done. How do you suppose they drew the Nazca Lines in South America? How about the pyramids in Egypt? The temple at Göbekli Tepe? We should hardly raise an eyebrow at such things.

Daniel studied a lot of arcane stuff during his training period prior to appearing in the Babylonian imperial court. Moses was exposed to the same kind of thing growing up in Pharaoh’s court. So Daniel conversed with angelic beings about the future and Moses performed all those miracles that destroyed Egyptian power. Both of them were aware of the horrifying things mankind could do when listening to demons. Paul flatly stated that any worship of pagan deities was actually consorting with demons (1 Corinthians 10:20).

Would you be surprised to know that, just as advanced math was once the domain of pagan magicians, so is an awful lot of behavioral science? More than some kind of hypnosis, the ancients did know how to get people to do some incredible things by using various dark arts. Casting spells to drive people insane? It was more than just incantations, but it was real.

Today we have a secretive branch of psychology that involves the use of trauma to create internal disassociation and multiple personalities. It’s been studied and there is a broad library of clinical literature on it. There is also a wealth of whistle-blowing from victims of this kind of abuse, but their stories seem hard to swallow. All the more so when the stories involve the likes of the CIA inducing this kind of trauma precisely because it works so well to create agents with multiple personalities that can be called forth by handlers. And these alternate personalities can perform acts no normal person could or would do. It weaponizes people. And when the handlers are through with them, the people are discarded. No one’s going to believe their stories anyway, so there’s little risk.

But we believe. Maybe it’s hard to be sure about some parts of their stories, as these people tend to keep speaking from inside their trauma-induced psychoses, but we should hardly raise an eyebrow at their narratives. We should keep in mind that some of them were programmed to tell their stories in ways to discredit the whole field of investigation. This is all part of the globalist agenda, a resurrection of the Tower of Babel. None of this would have surprised Daniel or Moses.

Predatory Spam Links

Posted on September 3, 2018 by ehurst

This is an FYI to warn you that some of the “likes” that appear at the bottom of my posts are from spammers. These are folks with WordPress sites that engage in predatory advertising. They click my “like” button to gain more links to their site and fool search engines into thinking their sites are popular. Once or twice I’ve checked such sites and had them attempt to seize control of my browser. I can tell you that WordPress doesn’t listen to complaints about them.

If you hover your mouse over the likes, you’ll see a name reflected. Avoid “MoonPixlarPW” and “HealthNewsPW” for example.
