Thoughts! “Other Belief Systems For Business!"

Out Of The Gate, and to preface all that follows, allow me to acknowledge that I do not want you to think the same things and ways, as I do. This pertains to … those who have a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus, Son of The Living God and those who do not.

Do not be offended should you find yourself lumped into the same box, as all the rest, as that is not my intention. There is a need to make this distinction for clarity and brevity and there will more than likely, be more in the first group that will be offended than the second. The Apostle Paul commends the Berians to being noble, they did not just accept what he had said, yet followed up by verifying what he said, with what was in The Word of God. (Acts 17:11) That is the least I can do is to exhort you to do the same.

Now why do I, not want you to think like I do?

1. I am absolutely assured, that All Mighty God made each one of us uniquely different. Even more than finger prints. Probably closer to DNA and I will not go down that path, (As tempting as it is.) again for the sake of brevity.
2. That uniqueness is also the criteria for that relationship that HE has with us, whether in the first group or the second. In other words, should this not be true, then one of us would be a clone and a belief like that would rob one of knowing HIM Personally.

Paul even tells those who are of Group Two on Mars Hill (Areopagus) that they were ignorantly worshiping God and Paul was also, well versed in their poets and Philosophers. (Acts 17:18-33)

He tells the Romans that GOD has given every one, (Man Woman and Child.) the same ‘Measure of Faith’. (Rom. 12:3) Group one builds on it to that ‘Unique Personal Relationship’ with HIM and Group two builds on it, according to The Filters of customs, culture, traditions and influence of family, teachers, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Sometimes they build on nothing more than self-Choice. The emphasis here is on that ‘Measure of Faith’ being as universal, as Gravity, just another one of God’s Laws.

Now should I have not offended group two, allow me to at least give group one, a chance ‘To Be or Not to Be’. You will have to go back to the beginning of this Blog to pick up on some of my direction here. I will try to link you to those Posts and use some of the same tags for you to find what I will reference to.

I believe and walk in the assurance that God has made us co-participators and even co-creators in the path each one of us chooses to walk. To not be, would make us ‘Fatalists’. Allow me to give you one example and then move on to the main topic from this preface. Two different people will see the glass half full or half empty. OK … one more. One person always chooses to get out on the wrong side of the bed every morning and another will wake up with the ‘Attitude of Gratitude’ and always has a prosperous day, even if ‘Hell Brakes Lose’ and 'The Bottom Drops Out'!

Now here comes the Nay Sayers with, “Then how come you are not wealthy &/or perfectly healthy?” And am I glad that they did ask, as it gives me something to continue with. … … …

Yes, continue with next time! Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

“Thoughts” BrainWashing! In ‘Red China’ ‘In The Church’!

To pick up from my last “Thoughts”:

We all have been conditioned by our customs, culture and rearing to believe what we believe!

For over 25 years I have exhorted all that have been placed in my path; Not To Believe What I Believe! I explained to them then and I am explaining to you now that I would pray for them, To Believe What The Word Of God Teaches Them, thru the Precious Holy Spirit, “In Jesus’ Name!” John 15:26;

And now to continue:

Let me only submit this for your consideration! In Red China, there was, (Allow me this choice of words to only ‘cut to the chase’ …) a ‘Brain Washing’ that was brilliant in its design.

Now what is Awesome, I started this … ‘Thought’ several days ago and just now, in order to have something to back up my premise, by ‘Googling’ I came across this article in yesterday’s TIME. Here is an excerpt from TIME Correspondent Robert Neville’s report:

After about five months of hsueh hsi, a group is called to a "thought mobilization" meeting at which all are urged, one after another, to get up and "cast aside, once & for all, their burdensome thoughts." There are warnings that those who still hold reactionary thoughts or have not yet confessed reactionary deeds will sooner or later regret it. What follows is a kind of political revivalist meeting, or a Buchmanite confessional, at which students cry their ideological sins and profess to see the light of reform.

Read the whole article to have a little more understanding of where I am coming from.

WHALLA! The light goes on! Just writing about my thoughts and I find myself here! Please note that I will tiptoe here because of not wanting to turn you completely off.

I have said over & over again, that each one of us has been uniquely made for HIS Pleasure! Check this out to see if it is not some thing you recognize. Regardless of how much you love somebody, whether it is spouse, parent, child, sibling, friend or even mentor and especially pastor somewhere, some place, somehow you will find something that you disagree with him or her. Now to discuss it with them or not … is another issue. (Which I will address later.) Some of it will be because of that uniqueness and some of it by, our customs, culture and rearing. This subtle mind shaping is good in many ways, as we learn our mannerisms manners and behaviors.

Now, let us address an extreme of this way of thinking.

Starting with a toddler dressed in a belt or vest of mock explosives with family and friends encouraging them with remarks how great they look, and how proud they make everyone feel! This continues through their rearing and education with the ultimate goal is to be a martyr that has eliminated what they are taught to call lowly pigs and monkeys who are in fact other human beings. Joy almost ecstasy dying themselves with No regard for the fact that even others of their own people also die to give their god pleasure and an unrealistic reward for doing so.

A quote from The Making of a Martyr:

On March 24^th 2004, fifteen-year young Hussam Abdu was caught at an Israeli border check point with live explosives strapped around his waist. Physically a dwarf, marginalized by his classmates and considered mentally handicapped by his family, it took only forty-eight hours and twenty American dollars to convince Hussam to violently kill himself as a suicide bomber. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the Palestinian terrorist group that recruited him, did so using two of Hussam's elementary school classmates, each of which they paid one hundred dollars for the job. In an ironic twist of fate, he who had been considered slow and socially inept turned out to be the smartest kid on the block. For at the very last minute, out of fear of death and love for his family, Hussam voluntarily gave himself up to the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and was subsequently arrested. Charged and convicted with attempted murder, Hussam is now serving out an eight-year sentence in the Ha-Sharon Prison, Israel.

This has been going on for over twenty years and accepted as the only way of life. Stop and think that everybody under 40 years of age is a part of this mind set in one way or another. Like the world not being flat, you may take this or leave it!

This keeps on getting longer and longer and I need to post on ‘The Book’, so I will break now before going on with the subtleties of the ‘Brain Washing in and of The Institutional/Traditional Church’

The Complex Structure Of Design! “Thoughts” On Creation!

Loved of The Lord, More on Thoughts, now as it appears that I am on a roll, To God Be The Glory! As I was before the Lord, a couple days ago, I was thinking all the way back to ‘The Beginning’ and the complex structure of even the amoeba. Try to imagine the magnitude of ‘The Thought’ to begin with, let alone the design of humanity, then how uniquely each one of us … created to The Designers desire. A mousetrap needs six different parts to work. Eliminate any one of them and it does not work. Again, the complexity of the lowly amoeba having only one element removed from the millions that make up its form would also cease to be a living organism.

Now how man thinks he is so smart that he is messing with The DNA! I am reminded of derision about Science and God:

The scientist and God are having a conversation and the scientist tells God that mankind no longer needs HIM. And when asked for an explanation, the scientist continues with, “Now that we can create anything, including human life, there is no need for a Creator.” God responds with, “allow ME to see you accomplish this!” Now the scientist gathers all his paraphernalia on his bench and reaches for a handful of dirt. God clears HIS throat, (as if HE needs to) shaking HIS Head and says, “Uh Uhaa, go get your own dirt!”

Praise God! As I write this “Thought” I see where Evolution is under attack this last week. Reading in (The Miami Herald) in Florida and in Texas, (East Texas Review Newspaper) that Evolution is losing support. Nine Conservative Counties in Florida are rejecting the State endorsed Text Books, because of the text is purporting Evolution as an established fact.

Now listen to this!: They do not want it replaced or even that ‘Design” be taught along side of it. They only want it to be a theory and the weaknesses, as well as the strengths pointed out.

The Texas article is from a progressive perspective, badmouthing the State Board of Education and classifying the downsizing of Darwin to be on the same par as replacing condom distribution with promoting abstinence.

Please understand that I know that the ‘Progressives’ and even the ‘Conservatives’ ‘Believe without a doubt’ that they have all the facts and that their perspective “Is The Only Way It Can Be!”

What is interesting is that I KNOW without a doubt … (Do not hold your breath!) … (Here it comes!) … That There Is No Way I Would Be Able to Convince Anyone Of What I Believe! They ( & me too! … Oh Yea! You too!) have been conditioned by their customs, culture and rearing to believe what they … we… do!

For over 25 years I have exhorted all that have been placed in my path; Not To Believe What I Believe! I explained to them then and I am explaining to you now that I would pray for them, To Believe What The Word Of God Teaches Them, thru the Precious Holy Spirit, “In Jesus’ Name!” John 15:26;

Hoping I have your attention now, I am posting this, as is thus far. Watch for the next segment on “Thoughts”. Be Blessed, 1 Posted 080315 www.wonpreacher.com ©2008
