The Connection Between Illicit Sex and Slavery

There is a connection in servile cultures between sex without boundaries and the condition of slavery, so much so that one can say that “free love” is the direct enemy of liberty. Unconstrained sexuality is the most obvious of all bribes that serves as an incentive to slavery. Strong and stable families that arise out of the Christian faith serve as a bulwark against the intentions of the State to enslave its people. Break down the family by the offering of sexual dainties, sold as calorie free, and the result will be a turning away from the Liberty created by stable families.

Second the lack of moral discipline that is fostered by sexual laxity translates easily into a lack of discipline characteristic of all slaves. The slave is a slave because he has no discipline. This observation is reinforced when we consider the connection between a lack of moral discipline as exhibited by unconstrained sexuality and the lack of moral discipline as exhibited in piling up economic debt. In both cases the lack of moral discipline encourages enslavement, either to the State or to creditors. The encouraging of sexual laxity, as well as the encouraging of a lack of economic probity ends up being mutually reinforcing with each vacuity creating and supporting the slave mindset.

The present cornucopia of sexual perversions in our culture is a indice that measures how far we have descended into slavery. There was a sound reason for Huxley to create a Brave New World where sexual appetite is encouraged.

Find me unrestrained and unbounded sexuality and I will show you slavery.

Occupy This, or That!

By Robert Risko · Friday, October 21, 2011

Politicians “test the waters” for democratic acceptance. With calls from North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue to “suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make” Patriots should recognize the increasingly toxic waters of Socialism staging its treacherous stand against the United States Constitution.

Occupy Wall Street! Occupy Denver! Occupy Los Angeles! Occupy London!

“[A]n armed uprising is inevitable, and…the time for it is fully ripe” might be a familiar phrase to readers. (1) The original statement is not a product of the “Occupiers” but is an official Marxist justification for the Bolshevik Revolution. A careful study of these two revolutionary movements may reveal protections that preserve the United States Constitutional peace. However, many may miss the significance of parallels in history where some real but often imagined conditions of today draw on the same faulty foundations as the Russian Civil War.

We should be vigilant for the next borrowed concept: “We now have the majority behind us.” (1) Already, this reasoning is openly embraced by the “Occupy Wall Street” group: “We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends.” (2) Perhaps the only restraint on “Occupy Mobocracy” is that they generally reject the Second Amendment.

Having compared the nature of the United States through history including the Mayflower Compact (3) (the first Colonial Covenant), Declaration of Independence (4), Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union (5) (the first United States Constitution), Federalist (6) and Anti-Federalist Papers (7), United States Constitution of 1789 (8,9,10,11), War Department Training Manual 2000-25 (12), PatriotPost’s Essential Liberty booklet (13), and The Truth Project (14); a comprehensive citizenship lesson on United States Worldview was assembled. (15)

So pervasive is socialist indoctrination in the United States that even our countrymen in the military are fearful of an open discussion of the United States Constitution. Presented with a concise summary of the above reputable sources and designed to effectively educate a critical component of those under solemn oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” (16) military “leaders” dismissed the discussion as “too contentious.” The very individuals with a special requirement to understand and charged to maintain the United States Constitution clearly rejected an opportunity to reintroduce the “1787 Founder” thoughts into modern military discourse.

Where then shall we find bravery and courage for our present challenges? Certainly it should have been from among our “best and brightest” citizens!

Yet the military “leadership” response should not be surprising to the discerning Patriot. Clearly the high calling of military service has been abandoned or surrendered as shown by the truth-twisting of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal and redefining justice and integrity as “consent.” (17)

Further indications mark the decline of Constitution supporters and defenders within the military. Operation ODYSSEY DAWN, which aptly translates to “beginning of a long journey,” was readily prosecuted and heralded by military “leaders” as a success. However, as outlined by Mr. Glenn Greenwald in Congress vs. the President on War Powers, Libya employment was not sanctioned by the Constitutional authority for action against a sovereign nation-state in the form of a declaration of war or Congressional resolution. (8) This inaction of Congress renders the entire operation unconstitutional and thereby a grand failure of constitutional trustees. (18) Those charged with supporting and defending the Constitution should have been the most zealous for Rule of Law in accordance with their Oath of Office by denying the Presidential dictate.

Perhaps the absence of a public school or military education describing the proper responsibilities of citizenship is to blame. Or maybe a more perilous want of integrity has freed personal security to suppress “service before self” is the precipitant to wanton violation of the United States Constitution. Whatever the root cause, nothing could be more apparent than the critical need for personal responsibility rising out of a proper understanding and assent to the Foundation of the United States itself.

Sadly the problems of the United States are a national dilemma that permeates all of American society. They are the products of a larger indoctrination that has prevailed unchecked since the early 1930s and follow earlier constitutional violations of well-intentioned but imperfect men such as Lincoln. (19) The Prussian education system that we “enjoy” produces good employees and soldiers — “good” from the obtuse perspective that wealth can be created without creativity. Any autocrat simply wants obedient masses and will find in the publically-educated United States an abundance of unquestioning servants.

The good news brought about by the PatriotPost and the more recent Tea Party movement is a “questioning spirit” among the once quiet citizenry. It is to be emphasized that this questioning is distinct from anarchy! Upon finding a valid principle, anarchy will attempt to overthrow Civil Liberty so that self-imposed rules are the only remaining determinant of right and wrong (Total Liberty). In contrast, the discerning Patriot-citizen will affirm and defend a tested truth once questioning has found consummation. In these true citizens we find a great hope for this nation! Testing these foundations of our beliefs is crucial to understanding and defending them. Testing these foundations is also crucial to correcting fissures and deterioration that weaken the whole.

As we think on the current perceptions and historic definitions of “Occupy [this or that],” the concerns spelled out by Mr. Alexander in Obama’s Red October Uprising (20) should not be discounted but amplified. Today, concerns mount that the United States military in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya are “occupiers.” Numerous public relations statements are pursued to maintain the understanding that United States presence in foreign nations is at the request of the host government and presence persists only so long as such assistance is required for a stable region.

While the general conclusions made by Mr. Alexander on the dangers of the “Occupy” movement are agreeable, the true nature of the “occupiers” is left undefined. This complete understanding is critical for Patriots as additional affronts to Rule of Law are intensified.

By definition, legal occupiers claim property or ascendancy where no previous claim exists. (21) Where a previous claim is enforceable, occupiers are given another name. The “Occupy” mobocracy claiming legitimacy over a preexisting claim (the U.S. Constitution) is an enemy occupation at best, and blatantly treasonous at worst! This statement is evident, including the International Occupy movements, where the very Constitutions granting rights to assemble and private property ownership are the same Constitutional forms of government and economy that the “Occupy” movement would have overthrown thus canceling constitutional rights themselves even the right to assemble. This is the logic of insanity!

The distorted views taught by public education’s socialist elite have set the stage for an unquestioned claim that these “occupiers” are our countrymen and equal partakers of the privileges of our Constitution. (22) They are not! We might have a responsibility for helping these misguided souls discover reality, but common assent to established Rule of Law and a common mind toward harmonious ideologies mark the true fellow-citizens of a nation, an understanding clearly understood by Senator Joseph McCarthy. (23)

Our countrymen are vigilant adherents to Rule of Law as revealed in our unadulterated national history, honest, discerners of truth by testing, hard-working contributors, personally responsible for their actions and those under their charge, charitable self-sacrificing givers, community-minded servants, and principled decision-makers based on a solid Foundation of the Religion of Jesus Christ as handed down by our Founders; including Christopher Columbus (23) and the Christian Pilgrims of the Mayflower. (3)

We should engage, entreat, and pray that those set against the Truth will yet be won over to it. In the final analysis, our devotion must remain fixed on the Truth and unencumbered by false notions of brotherhood with the insane — even to the peril of our earthly lives.

A Quick Tutorial On The Speciousness Of Hypothetical Universalism … or … No, Virginia God Did Not Send Forth Jesus So He Could Die For The Sins Of All Men

I Timothy 2:3 it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

II Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient towards you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

Ephesians 1:11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will…

If God is not willing that any should perish (any understood to be all men without exception) (II Peter 3:9) then how is it possible that he works all things after the counsel of his will (Eph. 1:11?) For if he does work all things after the counsel of his will, and some men perish, then it is obvious that he willed that those who perish would indeed perish. After all, those perishing people are not perishing apart from God’s design if the Scripture is true that God works all things after the counsel of his will.

If God desires all men to be saved (i.e. all men without exception) (I Tim. 2:3) and yet all men are not saved, then how is it that he works all things after the counsel of his will? For if he does work all things after the counsel of his will, and all men are not saved, then it is obvious that he willed that those who are not saved should not be saved.

Arminians, like Dave Hunt in his book “What Love is This?” either has not considered the contradiction inherent in his affirmations, or is content to imagine that God and his Word are self contradictory. But there is no contradiction. One need only note to whom the epistle or Peter is written and understand that the Timothy passage is dealing with distinctions, not the absence of exceptions

In the Timothy passage the passage follows the Titus pattern. Paul has said that prayers are to be made for all men. He then goes on to restrict that meaning to ‘Kings and those in authority.’ As Paul narrows the definition of ‘all’ down it is evident that he desires prayer for all classes or types of people. Without such a restriction some Arminian or Lutheran literalist might have prayed for dead people since the word ‘all’ was not restricted by the word ‘living.’ In this context Paul says God desires all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. The context requires us to see the word ‘all’ as being restricted in the second instance just as it was in the first instance. God desires all categories of men to be saved just as he desired the believers to pray for all categories of men.

Secondly, to take this passage the way Arminians/Lutherans take it is to prove too much. If God desires all men to be saved then all men will be saved since God sits in heaven above and does whatever he pleases. Or do Arminians / Lutherans teach that God sits in heaven above doing whatever he pleases except when man informs God to, ‘buzz off’ when he desires to save him?

Concerning the Peter passage Peter writes that the Lord is longsuffering towards ‘US’. Who is the ‘US’ that Peter refers to? Obviously it is the covenant believing community. So when Peter immediately then says that “The Lord is not willing that any should perish,” it is obvious that the reference remains the believing community. God is not willing that any of His elect should perish. Hence,

John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

How White Liberals Treat Blacks

The first one is how white liberals treat good blacks who have stayed on the plantation.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/08/occupy_atlanta_silences_civil_rights_hero_john_lewis.html

This next one is how white liberals treat blacks who wandered off the plantation.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/06/fireworks_msnbcs_lawrence_odonnell_hostile_interview_with_herman_cain.html

Now, after viewing these two clips, where do these white Marxist liberals ever get away with ever bringing up the word “racist?” These people don’t love black folk. They are only using black people in order to create their social order where all are cattle to the moneyed white elite.

Cave of Adullam — A Homily

1 Samuel 22

1David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.

2And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

I believe it is safe to say that what we have before us here is a picture of Christ in his humiliation and his Church in the Wilderness. David is being persecuted by a King that God has already determined to set aside in favor of David, a man who, like the coming Christ, was a man after God’s own heart. So, this true King, living in humiliation, holes up in a cave that literally means “refuge,” and the refugees of Saul’s false Kingdom — those in distress, those discontented (Lit. — Bitter of soul) those in debt rally around this little Church in the Wilderness and around this type of Christ in his humiliation.

In the Cave of Adullam they not only find a refuge, but they find a stronghold as well (vs. 4). This is a place of rest, protection, and safety with the true King in their midst.

Now, knowing the rest of the story we know that David finally comes into what God has promised him, but at this time that future promise fulfilled is still future. David is outcast and he is surrounded with an outcast Church.

That the Church is often filled with outcasts and goes through times of eclipse is not a theme we find here alone.

In the book of Hebrews the writer to Hebrews can look back retrospectively at the Church and write of it during some of its epochs

36And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

38(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

The true Church has not always been a organism that has been embraced by the world, nor even by the visible Church. Many have been the times in history when the worst persecutors of the true Church was the visible Church.

There are times then in History when the Church revisits the place of refuge in order to escape from the deadly intent of those who would do her harm.

And the idea that that church is staffed often by outcasts is not only a Old Testament theme. In I Corinthians the Apostle Paul can say of the Church,

26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

29That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

I believe we are living during a time when the Church must once again become a Cave of Adullam where those counted outcasts by the elite gatekeepers of our culture and often our Church can find a stronghold. In such times, we should not expect to find a great number of Caves. If there were a great number of caves we would not be in the situation where finding one was such a unique blessing.

It is my prayer that God would be pleased to make Charlotte CRC just such a cave of Adullam. A place where those distressed by the current spirit of the age can come and find rest for their souls. A place where those discontented by the strange Christs offered up by much of the Church today can be fed the Christ of Scripture. A place where those in the debt of sin can be reminded that God has paid the ransom and provided full redemption for them — body and soul. It may be the case that those who would come to this refuge has to drive many miles to do so, but should they make the trip — a trip that has to be made because there are no other caves around — let it be a trip that ended in balm for their souls and the word of life for their encouragement.

This may be a time for Adullam in our gathering but we must be reminded that we are in a different part of God’s story then David was. We are in the part of the story where God has already triumphed in Christ. As such we must not and can not be satisfied with a refugee status. If God has provided this place as a refuge and a stronghold He has provided it so we can scatter out from here back to Howell, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Battle Creek, as well as Charlotte and other points in order to be the elite military teams trained to overturn the current corrupt Church to be a Church that once again heralds David’s greater victorious Brother.

The cave is not to be permanent, as if every generation of Christians are to be cave dwellers. Christ is now in His exaltation and we are to be a Church militant that goes from victory unto victory in extending the crown rights of King Jesus — The Great High Priest who has provided a full redemption for us — into every domain.

We need to keep in mind Samuel Stone’s great lyrics

Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed:
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song!

We may be in a night of weeping but because Christ is victorious there shall be rejuvenation in history and the Church shall once again have a morn of song.
