Sharing the happiness of God, part 15, the rooms of cosmic 2; John 15:11.Title: Sharing the happiness of God, part 15, the rooms of cosmic 2; John 15:11.
Cosmic two: the hatred complex – fighting God.
Room #1: Negative volition at God consciousness, gospel hearing, or post-salvation NVTD.
Room #2: Cosmic degeneration. The result of prolonged residence in cosmic 1 where the individual rejects the God’s natural laws of normal living.
Room #3: The antiestablishment gate. The hatred of divine establishment.
This is closely linked with room #2. Either one hates divine establishment and comes to degeneracy, or one has knowingly or unknowingly rejected establishment early enough in life and after a long time as a degenerate he rejects establishment principles as an adult.
Those who hate divine establishment reject freedom and opt for security and desire for the government to take care of them from cradle to grave.
Ex 14:12 "Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."
Would it have not been better for us to remain slaves than to risk failure in the desert, though we have our own freedom? And what was promised? The land flowing with milk and honey was promised and that God would defeat all their enemies.
Through the ten commandments given to Moses God promised earthly prosperity to everyone who honors the laws of divine establishment, both believer and unbeliever.
At one time in our nation the ten commandments were in every school, every courthouse, and in many other government buildings. It has been banished from our common places due to diversity and postmodern multicultural tolerance ….
The whole purpose of the government is to ensure your freedom.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. [First Amendment]
We know that in the tribulation, commerce will be heavily regulated.
Rev 13:17 and he provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
The Supreme Court right now is deciding on whether the Federal Government can force you to buy healthcare.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: [The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes;
The constitution must be interpreted according to the ICE principle.
While Justice Thomas has maintained that the original meaning of "commerce" was limited to the "trade and exchange" of goods and transportation for this purpose, some have argued that he is mistaken and that "commerce" originally included any "gainful activity."
The problem with the “gainful activity” interpretation is that the gainfulness of any activity usually isn’t known until after the activity is fulfilled. They will argue that forcing everyone to buy healthcare is a “gainful activity”. This is from the same government who promised the gainful activity of the post office and Amtrak.
The whole purpose of government is to ensure your freedom.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creatorwith certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Divine Establishment institutions: Marriage – A husband and wife where the husband has authority and the wife responds to him and in which both think in terms of virtue love and forgiveness and understanding knowing that the family is the building block of the nation.
This is marginalized as being square, not cool.
Family – Parents have authority over the children. The father and mother have different roles in producing well rounded, virtuous young adults who are ready for freedom and responsibility and individuality.
This is marginalized as restrictive on the children. The going consensus is that children need to be given a long leash or no leash at all. The irony here is that children crave structure and guidance through authority and that a world without strictly enforced boundaries leads to a soul that lacks self-control.
Nation – The government has authority over the citizens enacting such powers so as to ensure freedom to every citizen.
When a government gets large enough and powerful enough to enslave the citizen rather than ensure his freedom then this law has been rejected through power lust.
Soul – The individual has authority over his own soul by means of exercising his own volition. He takes responsibility for his own decisions, whether bad or good.
A lack of self-control and blaming others for bad decisions are the characteristics of a degenerate society that rejects divine establishment.
Gal 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Gal 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
1 Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,
1 Peter 2:14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.
1 Peter 2:15 For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.
1 Peter 2:16 Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.
1 Peter 2:17 Honor all men; love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
2 Peter 2:1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
Some examples are given …
2 Peter 2:10 and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties [any constituted authority],
2 Peter 2:19 promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
Room #4: The cosmic panaceas. The individual seeking solutions to life apart from divine truth and in human viewpoint.
This room now becomes the activity of the believer or unbeliever in directly planning and seeking solutions to life’s many problems in the viewpoint of his own humanity and often in how his humanity relates to the society he is in.
The first category, the laws of divine establishment for believer and unbeliever [substitutions for freedom and authority – socialism]. Second category, the gospel for the unbeliever [salvation by works]. Third category, Bible doctrine for the believer [psychology, morality, legalism].
Room #4 is the substitution of human viewpoint solutions and therefore becoming involved in the satanic administration of the rulership of this world.
Instead of freedom there is a demand for equality, but equality can only be achieved by coercion and slavery.
The only real equality is equal opportunity. To take all the private assets in America and divide that by the number of adults and then to divide those assets equally does not make equality. Where would production come from and what would be the incentive to produce goods and services that a society needs to function?
Self-serving must exist in order for the society to function. I didn’t say self-serving must exist in Christianity, but a certain amount of it must exist in society. In other words, the butcher doesn’t just show up at my house with a nice rib eye steak at the time when my grill has reached temperature. I go to the butcher and I give him money. Why does he expertly cut a beautiful rib eye from the carcass of a cow? Because, he desires to make money. When he purchases the cow and cuts the steak he is self-serving, but in that self-serving I benefit. If a poor family is known to the butcher who cannot afford any meat, he may give out a gracious heart, but if that’s all he does he will go out of business and then no one benefits. It’s simple capitalism.
Equality demands the full mobilization of envy and jealousy, and therefore to promote equality there is taxation of the successful, confiscation of property, the nationalization of industry, and these are all great evils. |
