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.

Must Listen – Session #2 of the Freedom Conference

Happy Independence Day! Today is a day of celebrating the Christian heritage of standing for our God-given rights and opposing the tyranny of King George. It’s also a day of weeping for the rights we’ve so willingly given up, and the fact that so many Americans don’t get it.

Here are the notes from Session #2:

-History is the perfection of Christian creeds over time.

-To believe there is no difference between a Christian and pagan society is to believe the gospel is powerless.

-The church is God’s prophetic voice to the nations.

-The beast of Revelation 13 is tyrannical government. The stars and stripes are the image of the beast. The beast doesn’t allow buying and selling without taking the mark. Government doesn’t allow buying and selling without licenses, permits, Social Security number, work visa, and on and on.

-God can write his law on our hearts. Satan has to attempt to control our bodies, and he uses coercive government.

-God’s law says you’re only under the authority of government when you commit a crime and there are two witnesses.

Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God, Theonomy

Must Listen – Session #1 of the Freedom Conference

This is the audio from the Freedom Conference held in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Bojidar Marinov spoke in 4 sessions, and it is fantastic. I’ll post the notes I took, and post a link to each audio in the next few posts.

HIGHLIGHTS:

-We have a God-given duty to rebel against a government that violates people’s rights. The line drawn in the Bible is between wise rebellion and unwise rebellion–not between rebelling and not rebelling.

-Respect to authority is bad (except where it is biblical as in the case of children with their parents, etc).

-Romans 13, far from being a call to blind obedience to government, is a full-scale idealogical challenge to Rome (and Washington D.C., Denver, Fremont County and the city of Canon City). Romans 13 is dynamite laid at the foundation of wicked government.

Biblical Pledges of Allegiance

I saw this post on Facebook listing the pledges of allegiance in the Bible. They’re in the Bible, so that means they’re biblical, right? I hope these make you think about whether saying the pledge of allegiance to the American flag is a good idea.

Daniel 3:3-6 Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And the herald proclaimed aloud, “You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.  And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.

Daniel 6:6-7 Then these high officials and satraps came by agreement to the king and said to him, “O King Darius, live forever! All the high officials of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an injunction, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

John 19:15 They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”

Oh say can you Caesar?

Abolish The Police, Police Abuse, Power Trip

Beautiful Answer

The Bible says that the government is to wield the sword to punish evildoers, so there has to be someone to punish evil. But for day-to-day security services that the police provide by theft of tax money, there is a better way. This random dude on Facebook, Shamus McCahey, explains it better than I can so I thought I’d let him.

How law enforcement worked when America was founded, and from what I can tell was a very biblical way to handle things, is that private citizens took each other to court. There was no such thing as the state vs. Smith. It was Jones vs. Smith, and if Smith was found to have harmed Jones, he would have to pay Jones back.

For sure what we don’t need is a standing army of police to steal from us to protect us from thieves.

Cops Who Don’t Know The Law

I’ve talked about cops who don’t know the law many times, and I have personal experience with cops who don’t know the law. I’m sure they know the laws that generate revenue like the back of their hand, but as far as the laws that prevent them (government agents with guns) from interfering, they are blissfully ignorant. What they lack in knowledge, they make up for in bluster.

I’m sure bluster works 99% of the time, mostly because people don’t know the law or their rights. and partially because cops act like Kim Jong Un, constantly teetering on the edge of insanity, anxious to unload their handgun on anyone who would question their authority and run back and get the arsenal out of the trunk of their cruiser to finish off any victims.

Our job, therefore, is to know the law, and teach it to our kids.

Here’s a good example of crazy, ignorant cops:

 

Christianity, End Public School

Is Public School a Sin?

The question of whether public school is a sin came up, and I thought I’d post a couple of good links and my answer to the question.

ocarememe

There are several reasons why public school is a sin, and some of the reasons are covered in this awesome article.

I would like to focus on the one point among dozens that public school is funded by theft, and it is sinful to accept those stolen funds by sending your kids to school.

Romans 13:1-7 defines the only job of the government as punishing evil. It is sinful for the government to educate children, build roads, issue currency, license barbers, provide welfare, and on and on. They can collect tax for their legitimate, biblical purpose, and that is it.

If we were to relent and allow the government to do all those other things, why can’t churches or families step outside their bounds to carry out punishment against criminals?

Also, 1 Samuel 8:15-17 says that any tax over 10% is an enslavement of the people. Taxing more than 10% is idolatry, because 10% belongs to God–not the government. They are to do with less than 10%.

And schools are funded by property tax, which is even more clearly unbiblical. “A property tax is not only problematic, but is not permitted in Scripture, and should in fact be considered unbiblical. Only God has absolute ownership of property; He delegated this to individuals, and gave us a commandment against property theft in all forms (Ex. 20:15; Lev. 19:11,13; Deut. 19:14; 27:17; Prov. 22:28; 23:10). God did not give the civil State any claim of ownership in individuals’ land. It has none, and for it to claim such a right is to defy God. And what is a property tax except a claim of partial ownership in the land? It is a system of feudal tenure in which the State claims a percentage of the value of your property, yearly, for the sole privilege of living on land under the particular jurisdiction. While this type of tax has deep historical roots, it is also deeply unbiblical. And though this tax has historically been collected and spent at the county level—thus demonstrating how the County historically was the fundamental unit of governmental authority in this country—it is nevertheless an unbiblical form of taxation and should be replaced with a better form in every place in which it is practiced.” Quoted from Joel McDurmon in this article.

Come On People

US Dollars are slips of paper that are only worth anything, because people mistakenly believe that US government can back them up.

I’m going to give some unsolicited investment advice, and say you need to have some gold and silver coins around the house. I like coloradogold.com for purchases.
