Truth Part 2

 

Truth In Our Country (USA)

 

God’s Word is truth

Not that which we want to be the truth

Nor that which we think our God is telling us

Nor that which we try to remember in Scripture

Nor that what our human minds rationalize to be the truth

And certainly not that which the world deems to be the truth

Nor that which our worldly leaders tell us is the truth

The Spirit alone shows us the truth

By opening our eyes as we read God’s Word

To show us how our God would have us live

By continually revealing new truths as we study Scripture

Showing what our God has planned for us, wants us to do

By writing the truth in our hearts

That eternal life comes through faith in Jesus Christ

 

Lies will rule the World in end times

Many polls show an extremely high percentage of our nation believes in God, in a Heaven or Hell. Therefore the surprising election of leaders who hold anti-Christian views brings forth three possibilities:

1. There are not that many claiming to believe in God who really know the true God, who really believe Scriptural truths, who put spiritual truths above their worldly physical desires.

2. There were some Christians who were merely fooled in the last elections, will wake up and vote for our Christian values in the next election. Yet by that time there may be enough votes to offset theirs through immigration reform and other means.

3. The end is getting closer, the Spirit is being taken away from all who have not accepted their Savior. Satan is starting to implement his plan, take over, deceiving all who are not truly committed to their Lord.

The chances are not great that we will become a great Christian nation once again. But that only brings the good news that we are closer to the time when our Savior will return for us. Our God near the end will cause all who still do not believe in Him to be deceived by the lies of Satan. He will allow Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet to rule the world for a short time through the deception of their lies, the miracles they will do. All governments and their leaders will hate our Lord, turn against Israel. They will rule until Jesus returns again in all of His glory.

*For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 2Thess 2:11-12 +NIV

 

All lies are evil, we must not follow them:

All lies come from Satan, and there is nothing good that comes out of any lie. No matter what the lie is about, no matter where the lie is told, no matter whether it is considered a big or small lie, all lies are evil, are sin. No matter who is telling the lie, whether prominent leaders, the world media, rich people, poor people, Christians, nonbelievers, our enemies, our friends, even when we lie to ourselves. Lies are wrong, are evil, and should not be followed. If we continue to lie, we soon begin living a lie. If we follow lies, evil has found a home within us. All that comes out of a lie is alienation from God. All a lie does is offer Satan another chance to capture a soul.

*But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. Rev 21:8 ASV

 

We must resist the lies of ambiguity:

The toughest lies to resist, the easiest lie to fall for, are lies that have some truth in them. Yet anything that contains even the smallest lie within it, is still a lie. We must always remove anything that is not true before a concept is accepted, before we can answer a question correctly. When statements, assumptions are repeated over and over, especially by important people and celebrities, they soon become accepted as truth. Even though the facts have not been verified to see if they are correct, and often they turn out to be lies that many have accepted as the truth.

We are like sheep, following whatever is in front of us, accepting that which we constantly hear, without ever searching to see if it is true. We cannot live a life of ambiguity, the Lord and Satan, truths and lies can not both live in our hearts, rule our lives. Too many are riding the fence, they believe they are Christians, yet they circumvent God’s truths and follow worldly falsehoods. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes because they are too lazy or unwilling to validate what the truth really is, accepting what others say. We either are for Jesus or against Jesus, there is no middle ground.

Our Lord:

Would not have us do anything, be a part of anything that is dishonest. In everything we do, in everything we say.

Would not have us compromise on even the smallest lie, though it might cause us embarrassment, loss of status or money, even the loss of our life.

Would not have us be members of any group (religious, social, political, workplace, movement, or any other) which follows, tells, or is part of any lies.

*I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Rev 3:15-19 ASV

 

The liberal elite will use lies to silence God’s truths:

A liberal magazine stated God was dead in the 1960s as Europe turned away from Christianity into humanism through socialism. Recently the same magazine stated God was dead when the liberal elite were elected to rule over the US. Those who believe God is irrelevant, or at least should be secondary to their intellectual thinking. The liberal elite proudly proclaim there is a new kid on the block, there is new leadership in the world. God is dead, His morals can be put aside, and human idealism can now move forward.

But our God is the beginning and end, always has been, always will be. Our nation became great because it respected our Lord, followed His moral commands, and allowed all to have individual freedoms. The freedom to put our God first, our nation second, and limited the government so it could not take our basic rights away from us.

Yet we must realize this nation will not be a Christian nation when the events leading to the end times begin. We must be locked into God truths to survive, to remain children of God. We must continue to love our Savior above all things, be patient, until Jesus takes us home, or returns once more in all of His glory for us.

We should not be deceived by the liberal elite’s:

Lies that the liberal elite have more wisdom, can offer better solutions for our problems than our Lord’s truths. Lies that Christian values merely hold back our nation’s ability to be sophisticated like Europe, a world leader.

Lies that the US was not formed as a Christian nation, that the constitution was not based on Christian moral values. That these Christian values and freedoms were not what made us great, that the moral values of the constitution are outdated.

Lies of bias against our Christian beliefs. Declaring any who oppose abortion, write about the end times, or have these values on bumper stickers, should be considered extremists, terrorist threats, by the Department of Homeland Security, by their warnings given to all law enforcement agencies. While Muslim groups who hate us, would bomb us, are not supposed to be designated as terrorists.  

Trying to push Christianity from having any place in the government, no matter how small, nor traditional, or insignificant.

Making rules which would not allow Christians to use government buildings for activities as other groups are permitted to do.

Trying to control education by not allowing student vouchers which let parents choose the school they want their children to attend, by rewriting school books to reflect their liberal views. By enticing schools to take federal grant money with restrictions added on that advance their philosophy.

Leaders’ lies that the government can best help the needy. An inefficient government whose welfare program gives the needy only 30 cents out of every dollar allocated to those who need help. The other 70 cents just greases the large greedy government machine, finances its power base. Charities are able to give 80 to 90 cents of every dollar to the needy, 50-60% more than the government. Yet some of our newly elected leaders want to raise taxes on charitable donations, reducing their ability to help the needy. Allowing the inefficient government to have more to give to the poor, giving the liberal elite more influence over them, more votes to keep them in power.     

*Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. Eph 5:6-7 +NIV

 

We will face continuous lies:

We must honor our leaders, pray that they will lead Christian lives and use Christian values to guide those they are leading. Yet we must be prepared for the silvery falsehoods and deceptions that Satan will put all around us, on our leaders’ tongues. The dynamic personalities that will deceive those listening into hearing exactly what they want to hear, the lies in their promises that will give each exactly what they want. The use of a biased liberal media with giddy feelings running up their legs to tell and spin the liberal leaders lies. A liberal elite media more worried about being relevant, than telling the truth, for surely no one can rule with out their approval. A media with a vested interest in trying to make a fantasy they created become real, exist in the minds of the masses. A fantasy of a new day Camelot which will save us, end all of our problems. But we should never trust, make a deal with any who lie. We must search out what we hear in this secular world, see if it is accurate, see if it follows God’s Word. 

Some of the lies:

Leaders’ lies to end earmarks, stop excess spending in bills. The lie that all legislation would be available for people to read on the internet a week before it is voted on. Lies from leaders who tell us they know what is in legislation when they have not even read it. Lies of omission when we are not even told all that is in legislation to be voted on, lies about who wrote hidden items in the bills.

Not telling us how a large amount of money, over $700 billion was spent, the giving of billions to mismanaged companies.

Leader’s lie that they would established integrity in the administration. Then appointing many who have cheated on their taxes, allowing them to run government agencies, enforce laws on us, which they did not follow.

Leader’s lie that no lobbyists would be put into the administration, yet many lobbyists have been appointed.

Leader’s lie that they would unite our nation, yet our leader’s lies are merely polarizing our nation, dividing us into groups.

Media lies on their own, in conjunction with the liberal elite leaders to promote the liberal agenda, regardless of the truth. 

There will be so many more lies, for the liberal elite believe there is nothing wrong with lies, as long as they aid their philosophy. Lies are a means to promote their agenda, what the majority of people want to hear. Then more lies will have to be created to cover up all the lies which have already been made.

*Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool - how much worse lying lips to a ruler!  Pr 17:7 +NIV

*The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful  Pr 12:22 +NIV

 

Lies of humanism will introduce socialism:

Christianity cannot and should not be forced on anyone, one freely has to accept our God. But we flourished under a capitalistic government with Christian morals. We do not need to be reinvented, but go back to our conservative values, our Christian morals which made this nation great. Humanism is a false God, based on the lie that the liberal elite alone possess the intelligence to make our nation, the world a more equitable place to live. Humanism embraces socialism as a way for a few, the liberal elite, to rule, gain power, and control our nation. Socialism has flexible morals that adjust to anything which will endear our elite leaders to the masses. Whatever is needed, the end being more important than the means. Yet our liberal elite leaders will exempt themselves from the rules, values they put on others, for they deserve more, the good life for their empirical wisdom.

Our new liberal leaders will redistribute the wealth in our country as they see fit. They will steal from one to give to another, often their supporters who will keep them in power. They will support the unions with laws that financially help them grow in exchange their political help, contributions, and votes. They will appoint only liberal Supreme Court justices who will use their experiences, what is in their hearts to make decisions, not what is in the Constitution. Justices who will legislate new laws instead of Congress, making laws without voter recourse, ending the democratic republic rule. Our new liberal leaders will mandate entitlement programs that our nation cannot afford, driving us deeper in debt. This includes a new government run health care system which will cost too much, be inefficient like all government run programs, and destroy our private medical system, which is the best in the world. Our liberal elite leaders want to create a world government, want to lead our nation into it. A world government to rule over all nations, all people. Govern the economies of all countries, have a one world bank.

As socialism, trust in human intelligence increases, trust in God decreases. No socialistic country has ever continued to be a Christian nation. We are being transformed into a socialistic non-Christian nation by our new leaders.

Capitalism though it is far from perfect, allowed even our poor to be in the 90% of the richest people in the world. Gave us the freedom to put our God first in our lives, blessed us with abundance, allowed us to be a generous people who helped take care of, feed, and free, the rest of the world. 

There will be three types of governments in the end times. Socialism will begin bringing the world under a central control. Monarchy will come as the antichrist begins to control and rule all. Theocracy will rule at the end of the world as the antichrist will proclaim to be and rule as God.

*Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:8 ASV

 

The lies of greed will trap us:

Our Creator would have no class warfare or envy. He would have the rich and poor treated with the same respect and the same rights. The rich should help the poor, and the poor should not be envious or covet what the rich have. The rich people will always have the hardest struggle to come into the Kingdom of God, the greedy will never enter it. The poor should not envy those who have the toughest task in becoming children of God, and likewise be turned away because they covet their neighbor’s possessions. We should trust God for everything, using the talents He has given us to work and make a living. Being happy with food and shelter, having believers assist us when we have problems, the government as a last resort. Relying on the government primarily for our protection, safety, and the organization needed within society to function.

Our nation went on a spending spree, spending beyond our capabilities. Companies were allowed to get too large, have too much debt with out being regulated. People wanted too much, spent too much and then were not able or willing to pay their debts. Our greed, our excesses started a world wide recession. Then our newly elected liberal leaders went on by far the largest spending spree in world history, tripling the debt of our nation. Forcing the following generations to try and pay back a debt which may be impossible for them to do. The liberal elite will use this world recession, the debts of all nations as pretext to begin creating a united economy, a world bank, and a world currency, which have never existed before. The one who controls the world’s credit will control the world. The one who will control the world’s economies and therefore the world in the end times will be the antichrist. He will force people to bow down to him as their God, put his mark on their bodies, to be able to buy or sell in the world.

It will seem rational to take a mark so worldly transactions can be made faster, more efficient, so one can survive, be part of the business and social world. It may not seem that important, just a formality to bow before a powerful leader even if he claims to be god. Yet no one who bows to another god, who carries the mark of the beast, will ever have any part of the Kingdom of God, will be tormented in Hell forever. 

*And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six. Rev 13:16-18 ASV

*And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 13:9-11 ASV

 

Lies of environmentalism will control us:

The most valuable item our Heavenly Father created was the soul and body of each individual. They were so valuable that Christ died for them. Our Creator gave us the responsibility of managing this earth efficiently, giving us everything on or in the earth to supply our daily needs, to help feed and care for all people in the world. We should never put anything, mother earth, global warming, the natural beauty of this world, animal rights above the needs of any person’s needs to survive, of making their sustenance easier. 

Liberal environmental groups have a reversed order, looking first to mother earth as the reason for their existence, their sustenance, creating and maintaining a pristine world as their god. They are passionate people looking for a reason, a cause to make their lives relevant, letting their emotions drag them into a fantasy world of lies. A world of false exaggeration as they worry about all the extreme disasters that can happen to the world, if they don’t take care of it. The liberal elite believe in these lies, but more important finds these beliefs effective in implementing environmental policies which can control what we can do. They will make laws which will control our energy supply, therefore controlling our economy, which will push our nation under their socialistic rule.

Believers know that God is in control, that we should follow His truths, look to Him for answers. There will be catastrophes our Heavenly Father will bring upon the world because of its evil, you can read about them in the Bible. Yet He has promised never to flood the whole earth again, He will not destroy the world until Jesus returns, and the whole world will know when that happens.

Our liberal elite leaders:

Will not use our natural resources wisely, the large sufficient supplies of oil, gas and mineral resources God has given us to prosper, help others. Our liberal leaders will create laws which will require the use of alternate energy, which they have a monetary interest in. Alternative energy will take time and money to develop, to be financially viable. In the interim, alternate energy will cost more, give us less energy, hurt our economy, food costs will be higher, many will die in poorer countries. The liberal elite are more concerned about the power they can obtain by controlling energy, about keeping the earth pristine, then the love needed to provide inexpensive food to all of God’s children.

Will promote the falsehood that the liberal elite can control global warming, the lie there is a man made global warming threat. The world has actually cooled the last 10 years, some are even calling for a continuing cooling trend. The world has been hotter than it is now, has been cooler than it has now, it is not controlled by our carbon footprint. People have but a miniscule effect on global temperature, a volcano has a major effect on global temperature, and many have been erupting. Yet we have no way to control a volcano, only God does. The liberal elite want us to fear global warming, will turn it into a crisis by lies, to gain more control over energy, giving them more power, though it hurts our country, all people.

Will continue to promote environmental protection laws of inconsequential endangered species. These laws steal private property rights, and control public land oil, gas and minerals development. Environmental laws that lie about the relevance, the correct way to balance species, while not telling the truth how about how development actually helps wildlife increase. That stop us from using that which our Creator has given us to use.    

Will continue to support liberal environmental group’s lies, because they are part of our liberal leaders’ electoral base. Lies that are keeping us from drilling for oil, made us use ethanol, which forced food prices so high many will starve in poorer countries. Lies that kept us from making, supplying DDT to needy countries, which cost millions of children their lives due to malaria. They will promote new lies to keep our earth the way the liberal environmentalists want it, though it is not the best for our nation, for the people in it. 

*When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  Ps 8:3-9 +NIV

*He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes. He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor. The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing. Ps 112:7-10 +NIV

 

The lies of sexual immorality will be promoted:

Our Creator created man and woman as different and distinct physical beings. He would have them live with the uniqueness and function of the sex that He made them. He would have man and woman unite in marriage, wanted the two to become one, committing to each other for life. Our Heavenly Father made sexual relations pleasurable, designed it to be between a husband and wife. A married couple was to have sexual relations only with their spouse, no other person, as a means of conceiving children. They are to love and care for any child God gives them, from the womb to adulthood. They are to raise all their children in the love of Jesus, in how our Savior would have us live.

Yet our elite liberal leaders are implementing:

The lie that an unborn baby has no rights, whether they live or die should be determined by the dictates of the woman in whose womb the baby resides. Mothers have the right to kill an unborn baby because of the inconvenience it may cause them, for the sexual pleasure they derive from sexual relations without accepting the responsibilities which it brings. A baby which has a living soul that our Heavenly Father created, a living being like all others the government should protect.

Our leaders now want abortion possible until the baby is born. One leader even believes that babies should be left to die, if they were to be aborted and were mistakenly allowed to be born alive.

Our leaders believe there should be no age requirement. A pregnant mother of any age should the authority to kill their baby, even when they are not adults and still the responsibility of their parents. Pro abortion advocates can advise pregnant underage girls, take them to have an abortion, without their parent’s permission, without their parent’s advice, without their parent’s knowledge. 

Our leaders will make all medical personnel perform abortions. Even when it goes against their Christian beliefs, their moral values, or their medical licenses can be taken from them.

Our leaders promote the lie that the father of an unborn child does not have the same God given rights as the mother of his unborn child. That a father must helplessly watch from the sidelines if his wife wants an abortion, killing his child.

Our leaders promote the lies of homosexuality, will encourage same sex marriage laws. Marriage was instituted by our Heavenly Father between a man and woman, and that has always been the meaning of the word marriage. No one is denying homosexuals unions, but they want the prominence of a heterosexual marriage which physically they are not qualified to have. Though states have won elections against homosexual marriages, liberal judges have started to make laws from the bench legalizing homosexual marriage. Liberal leaders will support homosexual marriage by making a homosexual marriage done in one state legal in another. Trying to implement homosexual marriages without voting, without a debate, trying to perpetuate the lie that a man is a woman or a woman is a man.

*"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”  Rev 22:14-15 +NIV

 

We must understand ethnic and gender lies:

We should not fall for the lies we continually hear, the prejudices within our hearts. There is also an old saying, “blood is thicker than water,” meaning the relationships we share with family, race, or gender are the strongest bond we will ever have. Yet that is a lie, for our blood relationship with Christ is stronger than any bond we will ever have. For Christ’s blood alone can unite believers as children of God here on earth, as brother and sister throughout eternity. We should select those with our beliefs to rule our government, those who will honor the will and bounds of our constitution, offer all the freedoms this republic offers. Not selecting our leaders on the basis of race, gender, or class standing, where anyone is coming from. But where they are going, those who will lead us in truth, both in the good times, and the tough times, with the values of our Lord. It is not important to have leaders for the pain they have been through. It is more important to have truthful leaders who will strive to lead us with the least amount of pain, the peace found in God’s morals. It is not important to have ethnic or gender representation, mere symbolism to overcome our problems. But those with the reality of truth in their hearts, who will show us the way through all the problems we will face.

*That ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world. Phil 2:15 ASV  

 

Know our Heavenly Father will give us the strength to endure:

We will be given the Spirit to strengthen our faith, to help us overcome all the trials we will face, all the lies we will encounter. The lies will increase, become more extreme, our troubles will intensify, and many believers will face death. We all have a spiritual war to win, though we will lose the physical battle on earth until Jesus returns. We must trust our Lord, stand up for Him, never deny His glory. Yet not have anger or hate towards the many people who oppose our Lord, only the evil which deceives them, then controls them. We must pray that all may find Jesus, pray that believers will stay in His love. The victors will be those who know God’s truth and follow it, recognize evil by its lies and avoid it. They and they alone will be given the blessings of Heaven.

*Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2Cor 4:16-18 +NIV

*To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. Rev 3:21 +NIV
