Conscience: The faculty by which one distinguishes between right and wrong–Webster’s Concise Dictionary, Encyclopedic Edition. In the social realm of person-to-person relationships our conscience tells us what is right or wrong relative to the attitude of those around us. Most societies have both written laws and unwritten customs designed to remind their citizens of what […]
Cognitive Dissonance (cont. 2)
Today I marvel at God’s patience and longsuffering. He never withdrew His call on my life. This website is in a sense written testimony about the walk He called me to walk so many years ago, which is generally speaking the same walk He has called everyone to take in that He is not a […]
Cognitive Dissonance (Cont. 1)
In Exodus 19:5/Deuteronomy 14:2/Psalms 135:4/Titus 2:14/1Peter 2:9 God characterizes His true children in a totally different way than do church people when describing their own. The church takes great pride in being “everyman,” common, one of the people, able to fit into any situation so as to be accepted by those around her. God, on […]
Cognitive Dissonance
The question often asked by those minutely few saints who believe and obey God’s Word is: “Why do Bible-carrying, cross-wearing, scripture-quoting, sermon-preaching, witnessing, pamphlet-giving, church-building, fish-displaying people refuse to believe the Words of the One they claim has saved them? The answer involves a psychological principle known as “cognitive dissonance.” Church people, especially uber-religious pillars […]
The Monster Among Us (cont. 1)
Many years ago I stated that television would bring about the spiritual downfall of mankind. I was wrong. T.V. was merely the appetizer on Satan’s buffet of sin purveyors that would eventually culminate in his latest weapon of mass spiritual destruction–the internet. The original IT took up a three square foot area of the living […]
The Monster Among Us
I can see it in my mind’s eye as if it was yesterday. With the exception of the excitement I felt at the moment, the events of that warm afternoon are as fresh in my mind as they were then. Timeline: Spring, 1955. Dateline: a cotton field in Dunklin County, Missouri. IT was inside a […]
The Church-Cain Connection
Few in the religious world will accept the “Church-Cain Connection.” Cain having being sent out of the Garden of Eden for defying God, the church refuses to acknowledge any relationship with him. However, the attitudes and actions of each make it clear that they are spiritually identical. In Genesis 4:1-8 we find Cain and Abel […]
The Ingathering (cont. 5)
As important as knowing the type of man Catholic leaders vote into pope status is knowing what they say about him in their own writings. The following characterizations have been written about church pontiffs in their own publications. “The pope has power to CHANGE TIMES and to REPEAL LAWS, EVEN THE LAWS OF CHRIST.” “ALL […]
The Ingathering (cont. 4)
As an indication of the direction Catholic leaders are leading the hearts of religious people world-wide, Pope John Paul II had noted on a trip to Los Angeles that “… EVERYONE SERVES THE SAME GOD, NO MATTER THEIR RELIGION.” According to him, and I assume Catholics everywhere, the Biblical God, Alla’, the sun, animals, fire, […]
The Ingathering (cont. 3)
One example of the return of the Harlot Daughters to the Mother Whore is exemplified by the return of the Anglican Church (Church of England) to Catholic doctrines, rituals and forms. Also, the Methodist Church now routinely pays homage to the “Mother Catholic Church.” Other religious bodies, faiths, churches, denominations, etc. are looking to the […]
