GLOVES ARE OFF!!!

                                                              
                                          GLOVES ARE OFF!!!

    Do you believe Christ gave us scripture that tells us to pray for the death of anyone? If so, please tell me where that scripture is. I'm going to write about a supposed Christian who is the speaker of the Kansas Legislature. He is the latest in a series of major party leaders who has misinterpreted
scripture for political reasons. If you agree with any of their spiritual errors and condone this type of non-Christian action, you will have to answer to God, because it is a sin. There is no truth in these people.

    Revealing the apostate teaching in churches and by independent preachers has been one of our ministry's main thrusts the past two years. People aren't listening, and the apostates have become emboldened to increase the lies and misinterpretation of scripture. We have already had a United States senator pray for the death of another senator, and he prayed for this death in the U.S.
Senate chambers. Show me one verse of scripture where Christ prayed for the death of anyone. Just one verse, folks. One verse.

    I have written how many pastors and many churches have totally misinterpreted Matt. 25, beginning with verse 14. This is the Parable of the Talents. You only have to look at verses 24 and 25, where the servant described the master as a man who reaped where he didn't sow (stealing) and harvested where he didn't scatter seed (again, stealing). The servant gave his master the same amount of money he had  been given. The servant committed no sin.

    Now look at verses 26 and 27. The master admitted he reaped where he didn't sow,  and gathered where he didn't scatter. He admitted he was guilty of stealing. He then (verses 27-30) casts the unsinning servant into outer darkness. Outer darkness is Hell, and the master had no power to cast anybody into any spiritual realm.
       
    What then does this mean? Look at the word "usury". He was angry because the servant hadn't earned interest on the money. Where did Christ teach that interest on money was paramount? Give me a scripture. Ah, yes. Verse 29 gives the master's reasoning, which is that everyone that has something, he will have abundance; but he that hath not shall lose what he hath. Does that make sense to you? This is the same as saying it takes money to make money, and if you fail you go broke.

    If you believe this, you have been  misled. If the servant "hath not", how could nothing (money) be taken away? Can't you read English? This servant was unprofitable because he did not make money. Christ never put any monetary value on blessings. So, what are we talking about? We are talking about the most valuable TALENTS there are--spiritual gifts. Your reward in heaven comes from your use of your spiritual gifts. Read more of the New Testament, especially the epistles written by Paul. Then you will know about the spiritual gifts and that their use and value far surpass any
money. If you don't understand this, you will be unprofitable for heaven. What then?

    I could list more misinterpretations, but I'll settle for just one that came to light today. The Republican speaker of the Kansas Legislature used the usual ploy in quoting scripture by using only a few lines of chapter 109 in Psalms. He skipped the introductory verses because they did not apply to his use of the quoted verses.

    This Psalm was written by David and is for the purpose of judging false accusers. David is telling God that he has been attacked by false accusers who have been deceitful, lied and spewed hatred (verses 1 through 5). Well, we can see that every time the Republican presidential candidates debate. They tear each other up if no one else is available. We have to examine them because no one else is taking part in this drama.

    The verses O'Neal lists are 8 through 12. "Let his days be few, and let another take his office. (9) Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. (10) Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. (11) Let the creditor seize all that he has, and let strangers plunder his labor. (12) Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children."

    O'Neal, of course is referring to Obama, and he asks brothers and sisters to join him in prayer. As he says, he can honestly voice a biblical prayer for our president. He wants him dead and out of office. Treat the widow and children the same way his political party wants to treat so many Americans. Don't delete yet; you need to read the remainder of this Psalm. Verse 16 certainly does not apply to Obama. "Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart."

    Virtually all the Republican candidates want to reduce the deficit by slashing the entitlement programs. The big lie is these aren't all entitlement programs. Social security funds are monies paid into the government by workers. It's their money. Unemployment funds are monies paid by the worker and employer. They are not taxpayer funds. Meanwhile, the wealthy have been given over a million dollars each, in a tax cut begun almost 12 years ago. Now we look at that word "wealthy", and have to understand verse 16. This verse refers to the wealthy in money, but it also refers
to the lack of protection for the poor and needy by the wealthy leaders. Note it says to "even slay the broken in heart."

    We are encountering more and more people with broken hearts almost daily in our ministry work. Whether in person or through the internet, people are losing hope because they are caught in the trap created by our leaders. The trap is the redistribution of wealth; not to the lazy poor, but to the elite politicians, top layer company officials and corporations. A corporation has no lungs, no nose or other required human parts. A corporation is not created by God. It is not a person unless
you listen to the Supreme Court, a body controlled by Republicans. 

    O'Neal has revealed the hatred by so many Republicans who only want to see the mansions, restaurants, expensive clothes, and the pretty people. These people  are  all millionaires. Neither Romney nor his five sons have served in the military because "they have other important things to do." The same was true for Dick Cheney. Can you tell me one thing (other than being committed to Christ) that is more important than serving and protecting our nation? Oh, I forgot! Making lots of money off the backs of the poor, crippled, war injured, widows, elderly, and don't forget to put our school children to work as janitors.

    Obama was a lousy choice for president, but take a look at the current Republican wannabes, and what other choice could you have--unless you're wealthy or dumb as a brick. It's now a race between the Republicans and the Muslims. Either way, the ignorance of those who claim to be Christians will be playing on the wrong side.
