Preachers telling LIES about President Trump and Christian Nationalism!

 

Preachers telling LIES about President Trump and Christian Nationalism!

For all my friends, when you see posts by "supposed Pastors" gnashing their teeth at Trump and Christian Nationalists, know this, these are not #Shepherds, they are #HiredHands who care #nothing for the flock and can't tell the #TRUTH or #PreachTheGospel - Christian Nationalist is a #RedHerring because it has NOT EXISTED or else #PimpDaddyGovernment would not have been enabled for the past 60 years in #America!

Families in 1964 had 75% Mothers and Fathers in them, by 2024, only 18%. The Destruction of the General Welfare in my lifetime could have never occurred if America were not on the broad path to destruction! Instead #Denominations ALL over America FAILED GEN X, Millennials, Gen Z enabling Govermment by their vote of 92% of Americans who claimed to be Christian, but were not, with the Silent Generation and the Baby Boomers voting in godless politicians who allowed abortion to the tune of 64 million American babies and then who have been using immigrants legal and illegal to replace the aborted tax base so a godless DC can continue its already 36 trillion dollars in deficit spending!

Actions speak louder than words, had there ever been "Christian Nationalists" as the majority this would have never happened.

What we have with Donald Trump is a chance for America to reform before "one nation under God" totally disappears" because it became absent starting 60 years ago with "The Great Society" (aka Pimp Daddy Government) which began running Fathers out of the home. 80% of mental institution and prison populations come from the 72% of Single Mother homes where in America 80% of women file for divorce and 90% if they have a college education.

Children from Single-Father homes end up as healthy and wealthy as children from 2 parent homes, so we need to stop making Mothers in America the primary caregivers after divorce and switch to Fathers, it would stop the abuse of Mothers impoverishing their ex-husbands and children, and would bring down the record suicide rate among men in America which was growing through the Obama administration, but went down the first time Trump was in power in 2016.

If Christians Nationalists existed, then the average age of the first-time home buyer in 2024, would not be 56, Americans should not have to wait until their children leave home to buy their first house and then sell it in 2 decades or less to move into the nursing home! 36 trillions dollars of wasteful spending by the Pimp Daddy Government has created this reality, and America's preachers of the real Gospel have been few and far between because if you had Christian Nationalists, they would have run the money changers out of DC same as Jesus ran them out of the temple!

So these so-called "Preachers" against Trump and the "Christian Nationalists" - stop your LIES from the DEVIL before you wind up in HELL with the father of #LIES!

In 1964, 92% of Americans said they were Christian, yet in 1965, most of them voted in a new god, and never stopped voting for it, and it destroyed the family in America. 75% of homes had a Mother and Father in them in 1964, today only 18%.


Everything they were teaching us about ministry at Trevecca and church growth in the 80s and 90s, was from an era before 1964, our poor professors, faculty, and leadership in Kansas City didn't even KNOW that world had passed Generation X and every subsequent generation by and it shows:

++++++++++

The #repentant #thief on the #cross right of Jesus was saved, the #unrepentant thief on his left was not. Nothing has changed in 2,000 years, so I will take no rebukes for calling unrepentant criminal thieves in DC's government, #parasites. Government has been destroying the general welfare for the past 60.years and 92% of #DC residents voted for Kamala in 2024. I feel no sympathy for unrepentant thieves any more than Jesus did the thief on the left who did not join him in paradise. A sinner has to repent and be sorrowful for their sins as the thief on Jesus' right, or #hell is their destination as it was for the rich man, the temple high priest who dressed in fine purple, and ignored Lazarus until he was in hell and wanted him to leave paradise and go back and warn his brothers in the temple priesthood to not come to hell where he was.

How to plainly share the Gospel so your friends & family understand why Jesus had to die per Old Covenant requirements made with Abraham so Yahweh Elohim (God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob) could keep his promise and word to bless all nations (people) through Abraham and why Jesus established the New Covenant at the Last Supper and its importance to observe faithfully:

The Covenant made with Abraham was common among nomadic herdsmen. A house of say 25 wants protection from a house of say 50, so the smaller party goes to a larger party of say a house of 100, and takes the animals and cuts them in two, and then the weaker party walks between the blood and guts in their bare feet, and in the Covenant with the larger house to protect them and ally with them, they are agreeing to the terms of this visual contract. In, fact, the word contract comes from Covenant, meaning to make a cut!

The terms are if the smaller house betrays the larger house, not just its head as Abraham, but any member of the house or party, and betrays them, may they be cut in two as these animals.

Early Covenants/Contracts were not paid in money, they were paid in blood if violated.

Now the Covenant only lasted as long as both houses lived. So let's say a Contract was made between the smaller house of George, and the larger house of Matt, not only was I under contract to Matt until I died, but until every last member of my house/family died.

So if the house of Matt was wiped out by a plague, and every member died as terrible misfortune living in the wilderness in the times of early agrarian societies, well, then the house of George was no longer under the contract.

This is how marriage Covenants were once observed, no divorcing unless one of the spouses died. No such thing as no-fault divorces, or until the time of Moses, divorce for infidelity, instead the offending party was to be torn in two as the animals of the covenant the weaker party had traversed the blood and guts of.

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) had a problem, the house of Yahweh Elohim (I AM the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) never died! Therefore when God/Elohim, asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, it was because Abraham had failed God in not being faithful to only have a son by Sarah, and had raped Hagar, had lied about Sarah being his sister, and almost getting her raped as well except for God's intervention.

God was testing Abraham, and when he saw he was willing to keep the terms of the Covenant, he stopped Abraham and provided the ram, and so for the next 2,000 years Israel sacrificed animals to remind them of God/Yahweh Elohim's mercy to Abraham to not hold him to the full terms of the contract.

But see, in Genesis 15, Abraham NEVER walked the line of death between the animals. He thought about it, he ran off the buzzards to keep them from consuming the animals, and eventually tired and fell asleep, and awoke to see a smoldering pot of fire with a torch in it passing between the sacrifices.

So God did what no larger party had ever done in the history of Covenants between nomadic herdsmen. Yahweh Elohim (I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) walked the line of death, and took the burden of the penalty upon his Eternal House, and then sent Jesus, the only member of the Eternal House, to die, so Yahweh Elohim did not have to destroy the house of Israel.

That is why the Old Testament/Old Covenant ends, and if you want to know more about the good news of the New Testament/New Covenant, then listen to the sermon to learn more. So simple, even an atheist can understand the Gospel/Good News of #Salvation #Sanctification #OTCovenantFulfilled #NTCovenantRequirements

America made Government its new god in 1965 or Why Joe Biden & DC HATE MAGA!

 America made Government its new god in 1965 or Why Joe Biden & DC HATE MAGA!


#JoeBiden #LIES and speaks the #NativeTongue of his Father, the #Devil: ‭You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. - John 8:44 - see not only is abortion murder, but this is also NOT THE BEST AMERICAN ECONOMY EVER! The BEST ECONOMY EVER was in 1964 when 75% of American homes had a Mother & Father in them, not 2023 when only 18% do! There is a reason #DC hates #MAGA, because they have done EVERYTHING since 1965 to NOT MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
CITE #1: 

America had a new god in Government in 1965 or the rise of PIMP DADDY GOVERNMENT, with LBJ's Great Society running Fathers out of the American home, then in 1970, with Federal Law for "No-Fault Divorces" Progressives in DC were able to take the Sacred Christian Covenant Marriage heritage in America and treat a Marriage License like it was toilet paper to wipe their Progressive butts with, and then in 1973, began the Genocide of Gen X with abortion, and now 63 million aborted American babies, 99% who were not terminated for the life of the mother, rape, or incest at $500 abortion making Progressives #31.5 billion in profit, are now being replaced with immigrants as Jerry Nadler recently and proudly proclaimed in Congress!  In America, 80% of women file for divorce, and 90% if they have a college degree!

Biden regulations have cost Americans almost $10,000 per household: study https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-regulations-cost-americans-10000-per-household-study

"The Trump administration's agencies through four years reduced regulatory costs by almost $11,000 per household in present value," according to Mulligan.
CITE #4:

What the Biden Administration, Democrats, and Uniparty Republicans DON'T understand about your brain, and it's quite sad, no conspiracy here, just the facts! https://youtube.com/shorts/_EQ93vj5aBM?feature=share

In 2016 before Trump was elected as Obama's term ended, 78% of Americans were already living paycheck to paycheck, and 50% were making $33,000 or less with record adult suicides from Americans just giving up unable to meet the cost of living at $56,000 a year.

In the 1980s, Dad made $36,000 a year and could take care of a family of 8, but inflation jumped 271% between 1980 to 2023 because of the Congress' endless deficit spending driving up inflation to the point a $1 in 2020 had the value of a $0.25 in 1980, and now look at what $100 buys in groceries compared to 2020, not even enough for a week for one individual when it comes to groceries!

Yet Biden has the gall to go on TV and say this is the best Economy America has ever seen! #LyingJoeBiden #ProgressiveCommunists #DeceptfulDemocrats #NoLoveForAmericaRINOs!

Meanwhile, they took the #blessings of the American dream and threw it away enslaving you on Government's #reckless #deficit #spending that enslaves your life, so you have to work #harder than the Boomers ever had to, and they #destroyed any chance of you having the #Americandream! https://youtube.com/shorts/3Xn2qZRXdmE?si=kdX7EKGesj_WJQnY

CITE 7:

Ronald Cardwell's lack of education on those less than the 1% economic class is very telling! Did Ron SLEEP through the Obama years? Tell me again how it got BETTER under Biden, since only the top 10% of Americans can afford to buy a home?

Progressive is another word for American Communists!

Communists usually take care of the 10% and forget about the rest of the people. Now, who does that sound like? Let's see what did Obama do for the past 8 years? Why did Hillary lose? Probably something to do with the last 8 years of Obama taking care of the 10% and forgetting about everyone else:

Most Americans Still Worse Off Than Before Recession, Fed Finds

Newly released income and wealth data from the Federal Reserve Board’s triennial Survey of Consumer Finances show that America’s richest families enjoyed gains in income and net worth over the last decade. Not part of the top 10 percent? Then your income probably fell. The data show that families ranked in the highest percentile saw an income gain of $16,300 from 2007 to 2016. Those below are still making less money.

When it comes to wealth, the gap is even bigger. In 2007, half of families had a net worth of $139,700 or more and half fell below this level. By 2016, the midpoint dropped to $97,300 -- a decline of $42,600. Families ranked in the top tenth of net worth have enjoyed a sizable gain since 2007: a $132,100 rise in net worth to reach almost $1.2 million.

Ron was on his profile telling #GenZers if they worked hard they could be like him in their adult life. Problem is Ron had very good parents who took care of him, he did not come from the 82% of families where Mommy & Daddy were not there where we lived in Butler County growing up.

His parents were good people, his sister was my brother's classmate. Ron sent me a friend request now over a decade ago, but when he got online telling GenZers this was the Best Economy In American History repeating Biden's lies, I had to speak up and hand him the truth!

Ron Cardwell, could not handle the truth, so he messaged me to NOT post politics on his page (wasn't posting politics like you and Joe Biden Ron Cardwell, just the truth).

Then he blocked me. We were never close friends in real life, just people who knew each other through school, so I don't mourn that he has BLOCKED me from his Facebook page for sharing the truth.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and Ron can talk to Jesus now, which I pray he does, or he will talk to Jesus later for sharing Joe Biden's LIES!
CITE #8:

Ron Cardwell NEVER did answer these questions either before he BLOCKED me:

What happens when you have voted for Progressives in DC since 1980? A 272.6% jump in inflation caused by unending deficit spending! #BuildCrackPipesBetterEconomy #BuildBackBetter #LyingJoeBiden #RichMenNorthOfRichmond #USEconomy #USAToday

Boy, are you stuck in the 80s, as the teacher pointed out in the income power of her parents as teachers held in 1990 versus today, they NEVER had to worry about a 2nd or 3rd job to make ends meet, they did it on ONE income and never worked their summers off from school. A $12 dollar-an-hour job in Gatlinburg is the same as Mom's $ 3.50-an-hour minimum wage from the 1980s adjusted after inflation.

All this talk of giving a living wage at $15 an hour is a laugh, when it's barely above Mom's $3.50 an hour minimum wage working fast food in the 1980s to help supplement Dad's 2 jobs. I mean $15 an hour was a living wage in the 1980s, but not today!

For those not ever having to live below the 1% economic class in your lifetime, you just don't know, I mean you should but you don't!

When $1 million dollars today is what $250,000 was in 1980, like Nancy Pelosi, you just don't think about it when she has hundreds of millions of dollars in insider trading, which is why she went from making $95,000 a year in 1987 when she came to DC, to where she is now!

What RON believed in this REPORT is a bunch of SMOKE and MIRRORS, they PAID out to the Baby Boomers, the first generation, and are BANKRUPTING the rest of the generations, especially when Housing is unfordable for 99% of the nation!

Democrats just replaced their slaves they lost in the CIVIL WAR with average Americans and DON'T give a damn, because they've been slowly heating up the boiling pot, so the FROGS can't realize they are being COOKED!

Do you think these $20-an-hour jobs are something? It's like me making $8.50 an hour at UPS back at Trevecca. Yeah, it was better pay than $3.50 an hour minimum wage, but it was not a living wage! To be on the equivalent, you need to be making $60 an hour today be where $15 was in the 1980s!

Inflation Calculator: Money’s Real Worth Over Time - http://www.coinnews.net/tools/cpi-inflation-calculator/ - in the calculator on the page put in 1980 for the first year, $20 for the value of money, and 2024 for the current year, and you will see a 272.6% jump in inflation!
CITE #9:

I have a good friend, who has been hoodwinked by the Media on Trump and he dared to try to tell me the above LINK is NOT how inflation is figured, I pointed out to him, the US Government uses the EXACT same tool, they just don't want you to know the truth!

Did you ever have at least a class in Micro/Macro Economics? This is the same SCALE the US Government uses:

https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

If Paul Ryan had not opposed Trump balancing the budget and paying of the national debt in 8 years, 99% of Americans could afford a home, which currently cannot, because inflation due to deficit spending would be ZERO, and $15 an hour would once again become a living wage!
CITE #10:

Ronald Cardwell NEVER bothered to deal with this reality in #LyingJoeBiden's #FauxGreatestEconomyEver:

50 Million Young People Will Own Nothing https://youtube.com/shorts/ftPhpzSEq88?si=ng8aLV_Y3ZFbpdav

As I've said, #GenZers have #NoReasonToVoteDemocrat or #RINORepublican!

Saint Nicholas - the legend behind the story of Santa Claus

 Saint Nicholas - the legend behind the story of Santa Claus

By the time you read this, Santa Claus has already come to town, bringing gifts to children.

Santa has several aliases, depending on the part of the world you live in. The English call him Father Christmas, the French know him as Père Noël, and Kris Kringle seems be a version of the Christkind, or Christ Child, who leaves treats for good German Lutherans.

In the Netherlands, he arrives in town on a steamboat or horse from Spain. On the night of Dec. 5, Dutch children put their shoes on the hearth — these days near the central heating duct — hoping that he will fill them with sweet rewards rather than a reprimand for poor behavior. The Dutch call him Sinterklaas — which has come into American English as "Santa Claus" — short for Sint Nicolaas or St. Nicholas.

St. Nicholas and Santa Claus are historically the same man. But unlike the jolly figure who purportedly flies on a sleigh from the North Pole, the saint came originally from the balmy Mediterranean coast.

Who was St. Nicholas really?

As a historian of religions who has written books about ancient saints, I caution against reading accounts of saints’ lives as factual history. However, the earliest stories of St. Nicholas seem to correlate with histories and church documents of the period.

According to these early medieval texts, Nicholas was born around 260 A.D. into a Christian family. His birthplace was near the town of Myra, now called Demre, on the southwest coast of modern Turkey. At the time, Christianity was illegal under the Roman Empire.

He studied to be a priest and spent time in prison for his beliefs. However, after Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity, Nicholas was elected bishop of Myra.

During his lifetime, he became famous for defending his people against imperial taxes and other forms of oppression. According to the earliest document about Nicholas, from the 5th century, he prevented three loyal generals from unjust execution for treason.

A 9th-century Greek legend claims he revived three scholars who had been murdered and stashed in a pickling tub. He also saved three girls whose poverty-stricken father wanted to sell them into prostitution.

After his death, people believed that Nicholas continued to work miracles. His burial place, below the floor of his church, became a popular destination for pilgrims who begged Nicholas to relay their petitions to God.

Proof that Nicholas was listening, they believed, was in the “manna”holy oil or water — that dripped from the tomb. Pilgrims took this manna home in little bottles or used rags to sop up the moisture that dripped from the saint’s tomb in its subterranean crypt. This was a common pilgrimage practice at Christian shrines.

Visitors to the coastal town of Myra spread Nicholas’ fame along sea routes across the Mediterranean. From there, word passed to the Latin West, and upriver to Russia. Soon, pilgrims from all over Christendom were journeying to Myra to seek the gifts of protection and healing from the saint, who was said to be especially attentive to children.

Italians steal the body

This pilgrimage was disrupted in the 11th century when Seljuk Turks invaded Anatolia. Christians feared that the Muslims who now governed Demre would disregard the saint’s tomb. So, one crew of pious Italian Christians decided to take action.

In 1087, three ships laden with grain set out from Bari, on Italy’s southeast coast, bound for Antioch. However, according to a monk named Nicephorus who wrote immediately after the event, their real mission was to steal St. Nicholas’ body.

In Antioch they heard a rumor that the Venetians too were planning a similar heist. The Barian sailors hastily sold off their grain and headed for Myra in search of St. Nicholas’ church. Priestly custodians there became suspicious when the sailors asked to see the saint’s body.

The Barians claimed that the pope had a vision directing him to fetch Nicholas to Italy. When the priests refused, they offered gold for the relics, but the offer “was tossed aside like dung.” Done with arguing, the Barians caught and bound the priests. Suddenly, a phial of manna fell to the pavement and broke. It seemed that St. Nicholas spoke to them: “It is my will that I leave here with you.”

So, the Barians broke through marble floor with picks and hammers. A delicious aroma filled the church as they opened the tomb. They found the bones swimming in a small sea of manna. They carefully wrapped the relics in a silk case brought for the purpose.

Nicephorus describes how they fled to their ship, pursued by outraged priests and a howling crowd of citizens demanding that they “give back the father who has by his protection kept us safe from visible foes.”

Yet the crew made it back to the harbor at Bari, where the townsfolk and clergy processed, singing joyous hymns, to greet the saint.

St. Nicholas gets a reputation

A new church was built for Nicholas in the court of the governor of Bari. A few years later, Pope Urban II — the one who would preach the First Crusade — formally enshrined the relics of the saint.

The Barians believed that manna continued to ooze from Nicholas’ coffin. And going by the claim on the basilica’s website, the belief persists to this day.

Within a decade of the saint’s arrival in 1087, the Basilica di San Nicola was one of Europe’s most popular pilgrimage destinations. May 9 is still celebrated as the day that Nicholas moved shrines or was “translated.”

For at least five centuries, the region, which includes Bari and its saint, was caught in constant wars for possession of southern Italy. In 1500, Bari fell into the hands of King Ferdinand of Aragon, whose marriage to Queen Isabella of Spain created a global naval power.

Because Nicholas was a patron saint of sailors, Spanish sailors and explorers carried stories of the saint wherever they went: Mexico, the Caribbean, Florida and other ports around the world.

Even the Dutch, who rebelled against Catholic Spain and formed a Calvinist republic in 1581, somehow maintained their devotion to Sinterklaas. In other parts of Europe, St. Nicholas lost his feast day but his concern for children helped link him to the gift-giving tradition of another December feast day: Christmas.

How true is this story?

In the 1950s, Italian scientists examined the bones enshrined in the Basilica di San Nicola, seeking evidence of authenticity.

They found the skull and incomplete skeleton of a man, dating to around the 4th century. More recent technology has allowed experts to use the bones to reconstruct Nicholas’ face — he looks like an old Greek man with a broad, worn face. He lacks the rosy cheeks and Anglo-Germanic features of modern Christmas decorations, but like the Santa Claus of greeting cards, he was probably bald.

Turkish archaeologists now claim that the Italians stole the wrong body and that Nicholas’ remains never left Demre. They have discovered another sarcophagus dating to the 4th century in the same church, which they claim contains the saint.

Meanwhile, historians have suggested that the story of Nicholas’ translation is a fiction purposely created to advertise a new pilgrimage center in the 11th century. Although relic theft was common in the Middle Ages, grave-robbers often made mistakes or lied about the authenticity and source of their bones. Nothing in the shrine at Bari proves that the bones inside belong to the 4th-century Bishop Nicholas.

Still, this holiday season, when you tell your children about Santa Claus, why not include the tale of Santa’s well-traveled bones? And don’t forget the manna, which is believed to still flow in Bari.
