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.

What Does The Bible Say About Schooling?

hskids

The following is from Israel Wayne.

Is schooling mentioned in the Bible (and does God have an opinion)? Why YES! I’m glad you asked!

This is just one of many passages that should solifiy this issue, but in Ephesians 6:4 we are commanded:

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but instead, train them up in the nurture (literally, “Biblical counseling”), and admonition (the Greek word, “Paideia”) of the Lord.”

What does Paideia mean? From the Encyclopeida Brittanica:

“Paideia, (Greek: “education,” or “learning”), system of education and training in classical Greek and Hellenistic (Greco-Roman) cultures that included such subjects as gymnastics, grammar, rhetoric, music, mathematics, geography, natural history, and philosophy. In the early Christian era the Greek paideia, called humanitas in Latin, served as a model for Christian institutions of higher learning, such as the Christian school of Alexandria in Egypt, which offered theology as the culminating science of their curricula. The term was combined with enkyklios (“complete system,” or “circle”) to identify a large compendium of general education, hence “encyclopaedia.”

Everything that could be taught in academics was wrapped up in the Greek word, “Paideia.” It was the word the Greeks used for “Schooling.” Paul commanded fathers to train their children up NOT in the Paideia of the world, but instead, in the Paideia of the Lord.

Abortion, Christianity, Secession

America Worship

This country abounds with idolatry. We conservatives and Christians take great pride in our country and we stand when the flag passes by in a parade. We say the pledge of allegiance. We shed a tear during a moving rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before every sporting event.

If you want to get a real reaction out of people, don’t do those things. Stay seated when they stand. Don’t put your hand over your heart, and see what happens. They will act as if you spit on their idol. Because you have, not literally spit, but you have not paid homage to their literal idol. They idolize our country, and once you see that truth, it will make you sick to your stomach.

I’m grateful to live here; we have it pretty comfortable. But I worship Jesus Christ alone–not my comfort and not the country that’s helped provide it. It is definitely not above criticism, and I don’t particularly care whether someone observes the religious ceremonies.

But the standard for America, and how great it is, isn’t other countries. We measure any country by the standard that God provides in His law. We have no idea what justice is apart from His law. We have no idea what good and evil are apart from His law. Does America provide justice? Is America a morally good country? The answer to those questions is a resounding NO. Are we doing better than some other countries. Yes. Are we doing better than every other country? I don’t know.

Many of us have a limited perspective–including myself. My parents wanted to never travel outside of the USA. We drove to every one of the lower 48 states, but just crossed over the Canada and Mexico borders a few miles, and only briefly. I think that the PR they put out is that many other parts of the world are dangerous and backward. I’m sure there are plenty of places that are, but many that aren’t.

Where God’s law is, there is liberty. This list ranks America as the 11th freest country in the world.  11TH! This is supposed to be the land of the free–the greatest nation in the world. We rank behind Estonia. Most Americans couldn’t even find Estonia on a map. Chile ranks ahead of us. Most Americans are too afraid to go to Chile. I’m personally ashamed to be ranked 11th.

And, if you’re an unborn baby, you’re considered sub-human and you can be ripped apart limb from limb. How’s that for justice and freedom? They have no right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The words in the pledge of allegiance are false. I refuse to say them, because I see it as a creepy religious ceremony AND the words are complete BS. As the purpose of this website is to encourage secession, I believe it is definitely not indivisible.

Christianity, Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God

Perfect!

Here is a great article. This is one of the best quotes from it:

When we teach our congregations to vote for one candidate merely out of fear of the other, we have already accepted a government that allows too much power in one person’s hands, or in the hands of captors who are using candidates as mascots. We already admit they have too much power; when we vote for this current system, therefore, we are condoning it. We must acknowledge the whole system is broken and not just the President.

Practical Ideas, Secession, Theonomy

How About This?

Here’s an idea for peaceful secession.  Someone opens a small office somewhere, and puts a sign up saying, “City Hall”, “County Courthouse”, “State Capitol” and maybe even “Capitol of the United States of America”.

The current government is based on circular logic. The law applies to you, because the law says it applies to you. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. The law of the new government will apply to me because the new law says it will apply to me. In reality, it should apply, because it will be a government submitted to Christ, and His law applies to everyone.

The beauty of some dinky, cheap little office is that that is what government is supposed to be–dinky and cheap. What we have now is a grandiose, expensive monstrosity. The Pueblo County courthouse is like a cathedral with beautiful paintings, a great rotunda, gold leaf (I don’t know if it’s gold leaf or gold paint). I would guess the clerk and recorder’s office has 25 foot ceilings.

The inside of the [state capitol] building is adorned with what is believed to be the entire known supply of Colorado Rose Onyx, a rare rose marble from a quarry near Beulah, Colorado. White Yule Marble from the quarries near Marble, Colorado, was also used throughout the building for the floors.
Fremont County has a beautiful, though slightly less luxurious building. But the Colorado state capitol is an ostentatious building. It dwarfs the Pueblo County Courthouse and it is dwarfed by government buildings in DC. Government ought to be small and plain. Every piece of gold leaf in the state capitol was purchased with stolen money.

So, if this office to be opened would be an alternative government to the existing monstrosity. There would be no taxes. It would not be executive (making laws) but strictly judicial as Romans 13 explains. The only purpose of government is to punish evildoers. Not to issue currency, build roads, educate children, help the poor, etc.

The Declaration of Independence says it is our right to institute a new government. That is their document. That is what they’ve based their government on. They have no other basis. They’ve abandoned the Lord Jesus Christ as a basis.

Secession, Taxation

Swarms of Officers

Operating a business in this country is living out the Declaration of Independence. One of the grievances listed says, “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

Some pencil pusher from the state asked my partner if he’s filled out a DR740XYZ form the other day. Who knows what that form is about, but I’m sure it is so that they can tax us more efficiently.

In America in 1776, was it worse than what I’m going through today? I don’t know, but I’m dealing with city, county and the state in this deal from tax agents to building inspectors, and it never seems to end. Even the feds have requirements for flood insurance. The government has their hand in every aspect of the business.

When are the American people going to wake up? When are we going to realize this isn’t the land of the free anymore?

Fantasy Land, Secession

What More Do You Need?

hitler5We’re all at a different place in noticing things. Some people notice them quickly, and some were busy when certain things were happening or whatever. But, anyone reading this no longer has an excuse.

The U.S. Navy is naming an oil ship after Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist from the 1970s. 

We think of nations as being on the right side or the wrong side. The USSR was on the wrong side, Nazi Germany, Castro’s Cuba, etc. They were doing evil things. They also do some good things, right? They’re not 100% evil–no one can be. But they were on the wrong side.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when your nation names a navy ship after a flagrant homosexual, you’re on the wrong side.

Maybe you’re not as bad as the USSR who killed 20 million people. Woops. We’ve dwarfed their 20 million with our 60 million aborted babies.

Maybe you’re not as bad as Nazi Germany starting unjust wars. Woops. The Iraq war is unjust, and has killed millions of innocent Iraqis, and has decimated the Christian population of Iraq, which was living in peace.

Maybe you’re not as socialist as the Cuban commies. Woops. We’ve recently socialized 14% of our economy under Obamacare. And we’ve had socialist public schools, police, fire services, roads, libraries, and on and on for a long time.

In case you missed all of those items, the U.S. Navy has named a ship after a homosexual rights activist. If that isn’t blatant, in-your-face evil, I don’t know what is.

Does this cause you to doubt whether you should say the pledge of allegiance? Does it make you wonder what you should do the next time you’re at a sporting event, and they play the Star Spangled Banner? I hope it does. I hope them naming this ship after this guy is a straw that breaks the camel’s back for many people.
