I've lived in Canon City my whole life. It makes me sick to think of where this country is headed. The solutions are in God's Word.

Border Problems Have Biblical Solutions

It should come as no surprise that the border crisis could be solved tomorrow by applying biblical principles. Freedom and justice are absolutes. Anything other than biblical solutions will cause injustice and loss of liberty.

Are men free to make up whatever laws they want? No, because any deviation from God’s law causes someone to suffer injustice or some loss of freedom.

It turns out that the founding fathers gave us a system that was much closer to biblical ideals than what we have now. This consisted of:

1. Open borders and freedom to travel.

2. Freedom to work for whoever cared to hire you.

3. No government handouts to anyone–only private charity.

4. Limited political franchise/citizenship/voting rights.

These are not only biblical principles, but America’s founding principles. Any objections to open borders from Republicans/”conservatives”/Socialist Party R are answered in these 4 principles. This is the true conservative, free-market, anti-socialist position.

When we advocate for anything other than these principles we advocate for government of the beast (Revelation 13:17) and abuse of strangers. Strangers are a protected class in Scripture along with orphans and widows. You will face God on judgment day and give an account for how you treated them (Matthew 25:31-46) and how you advocate they be treated by the government.

So what should we do? We are to teach the nations to obey all that Christ has commanded (Matthew 28:19-20).

Abortionists rest easy at night knowing there are no good cops.

Here’s a simple proof for the proposition that there are no good cops.

  1. The Bible defines what a good cop is.
  2. Romans 13:3-4 says that the government’s job is to God’s servant to punish evildoers.
  3. Abortionists are evil mass murderers.
  4. Abortionists operate in peace anywhere in America.
  5. There are no cops who are carrying out God’s wrath against abortionists.
  6. Therefore there are no good cops.

Emotional Arguing

Here’s a frustrating conversation. This is a woman from my old church. She completely misses the point and is unable to form a rational response to anything I said. She should be rebuked by her husband and her pastor for not having the ability to think rationally.

In reality, I don’t even know why she would be offended by my original meme calling those who support cops loyalists. If she has the typical erroneous understanding of Romans 13, she should be all about loyalty to the British and calling the Revolutionary War a sinful rebellion. I think she’s just generally offended that I don’t support police and she has a very emotional connection to the police. I have found this type of arguing to be very common.

What’s even more sad is the women will argue. Their husbands are silent. That has been the case now for 4 women. I’ve had one interaction with a man, who wanted to continue the conversation offline, which I did. And 4 women whose husbands are unwilling to talk in any way.

Unfortunately, I missed copying down one of her comments where she told me to call a crackhead rather than the police, and the original post was deleted. But here’s the conversation.

Is the Border Like Your House?

Americans are steeped in socialism and statism. That definitely includes Republicans and conservatives and even those who hate socialism. They have socialist presuppositions and positions. Someone who hates socialism, but supports police is actually a socialist. Someone who hates socialist healthcare but supports the military is actually a socialist. Someone who hates socialism but wants the government to vet immigrants and travelers is actually a socialist.

The common analogy that socialists who don’t realize they’re socialists use is comparing the border to your house. They say, “You control who comes and goes from your house, so the government should also control who comes and goes from the country.” This belief reeks of socialist presuppositions. Here’s a response I posted, and I’m posting it here so I can come back and don’t have to retype it.

————————————————————————————————
You’re comparing the country to your home. Your home is private property. You have the right to control who comes and goes. Private property is a capitalist (and also biblical) idea that is incompatible with socialism, right?

To say that the government can control who comes and goes from the country is to say that the government or the commune has some kind of ownership over the country as a whole. That is a socialist belief. The government shouldn’t be allowed to control who comes and goes, because it doesn’t own the country. If you believe the government owns the country, you at least have some socialist presuppositions, whether you realize it or not.

The Bible teaches that the government should have zero control over someone who isn’t a criminal. Traveling or working in a foreign country is not a sin, therefore it’s none of the government’s business.

The Best Way to Win an Argument Is to Be Right

I’m not that smart, but God’s Word is always right. If you agree with it, you will win arguments just because it’s right. These guys made absolute fools of themselves. Not because I’m that smart, but because they are arguing contrary to God’s Word.

The original post with the meme is my post on Nextdoor. You can see the comments below the post.

According to Casey, it’s unamerican to oppose taxes! I can’t believe that came out of his mouth. And Gabriel has officially lost me, though I am in favor of diversifying to other countries and it’s totally awesome that he has an estate in Monaco. I don’t know whether I believe that he owns property in one of the most expensive cities in the world, but good for him if he does.

Retarded Teacher Conversation

I had this conversation on Facebook yesterday. Why anyone in the world would send their precious children to be educated by this moron for seven hours per day is hard to fathom. But the truth is that he’s probably better than the average teacher. Someday this willingness of people to force others to support their favorite government program will be mocked. It will be thought of as being as shocking that anyone believed it.

Charles Stanley Dead at 90

My parents listened to Charles Stanley a lot, and I listened along with them. This story is from a guy I know who was involved in Operation Rescue in the 1980s or whenever. 

Charles Stanley standing with me across the street from Atlanta’s Surgi center watched the police arresting the men women and children blocking the door keeping the murderer away from His victims.  On showing him the unborn child I was carrying in a small coffin in my hands, and explaining to him what was happening on this late term abortion day, his response was to quote to me what every Nazi in history every state worshipping follower of Moloch has said when cornered on the question:

 “The police are just doing their job.”

 Whatever Grace, or assurance or free will or predestinarian window dressing he might have gussied up his theology with, I don’t know. I just know personally what I saw.

At the highpoint of 10’s of thousands of Christians streaming into Atlanta, to personally make it impossible for anyone to get into the abortion clinics there — three of which bordered Dr. Stanley’s 10th Baptist Church property. I met with him twice once in his office and once on the street outside Surgi Center during a rescue. As police were dragging the Christians away, I pointed out the pregnant mothers whom the police were actively keeping the Christian women away from. It was their late term day. I mentioned this to Dr. Stanley and took the lid off the tiny coffin I held showing him an 8 month Saline aborted child. He looked and asked, “Is that thing real”  I answered, “She is the same age as the children across the street inside their mothers. See how the police are keeping them from talking to those Christian women one of them is my wife.”

The fact is the man spoke in the name of Jesus Christ as the leading pastor of the Churches in Atlanta. He spoke for the Nazi concept that the police obeying the law — like the Roman Centurions with Christ — were only obeying the law. He met with Major Burnett who headed up the Atlanta PD and encouraged him to perform whatever it took to clear the door of these law breakers.

He is one with the Leaders of Old Covenant Israel, cut off from the vine if they were: “We have no King but Caesar may these children’s blood be on our head an on the head of our children.”

What did he unleash on his family and city and what have we all participated in unleashing on our country? Next time you complain about the flood of forced identity in every public place and the paralysis of Christian response, remember his words. and

Remember Charles Stanley’s confession of faith in the state when you look at the news and reflect on it in the light of Deuteronomy 28:32 “Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, and your eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all day long; and there shall be no strength in your hand. 33 A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually. 34 So you shall be driven mad because of the sight which your eyes see.”

Poor People Do Poor Things

This is a post on Quora that is so true:

If you distributed all of America’s wealth equally to the people, how long would it be before it ended up right back in the hands of the rich and wealthy?
10 years, or less.

If you give a house to someone who can’t afford to maintain the house, the house will quickly end up in ruins.

And what is true of a house, is true of everything of value. I worked at a Cadillac dealership. People would come in who were clearly, and obviously too poor to own a Cadillac. In 5 years, they would have that car turned to junk.

——————— UPDATE—————-

Some people appeared confused about what my point is.

The point I am making with this picture, is that people have this idea that wealth is static. That wealth can just be moved around like houses and hotels on a monopoly game.

So if you just take some wealth from a rich guy, and give it to the poor guy, then poor guy will have wealth now.

But that isn’t how wealth works. Wealth is always dynamic. It is constantly being created and destroyed. It is constantly declining, or being built up.

If you take an expensive car, and give it to a poor person who doesn’t have the means or the desire to maintain that car, it will end up a junk pile.

If you take a house, and give it to someone who can’t, or won’t take care of that house, it will end up a junk pile.

This is unavoidable.

As for the picture, this is Detroit. Rich people packed up and left their homes abandoned. Poor and homeless people moved into those vacant homes. But they couldn’t afford to maintain them. So they were destroyed.

Back to me commenting.

I’ve found the above commentary to be very true. Poor people act in ways that keep them poor. Wealthy people aren’t just lucky (usually). They behaved in a way that made them rich and if you took their money away, they would regain their wealth because they do the things that are necessary to become wealthy. Of course there are exceptions.

I’ve been a landlord for the last 20 years. I’ve told my children that God won’t entrust most of my renters with ever owning a house, because they treat my houses (a domicile that God has entrusted them with) like garbage. Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God and we are to take care of it. If we do a good job, He will entrust us with more. We are to use it not for selfish reasons but to glorify God. If you can’t take care of something, whether with your DIY skills or by having the means to pay someone else, you better sell it or give it up and find something that you’re able to afford and maintain.

Oregon Counties Want to Join Idaho

This is an interesting video about how eastern Oregon counties are voting in favor of leaving Oregon and becoming part of Idaho.

People often say that you can’t legislate morality. I think that’s partially true. It’s false in that the only thing you can legislate is morality. The only question is whose morality will be legislated. I think it’s true to some extent, because if the government tries to legislate principles that are contrary to the morality of the people, the people will find ways to disobey and rebel. In truth, there is only one valid morality and biblical laws are the only laws and any laws contrary to God’s law are bound to fail eventually.

This country was founded on local government. It is a valid principle that the more distant the government, the less power it should have. We’ve certainly departed from that principle, and government can only be by the consent of the governed.
