Will God Forgive Your Sins?

      What do you see when you look at the David Dukes of #Charlottesville? When you look at the Hooded and Helmeted KKK and White Supremacists? When you look at the black-hooded Black Lives Matter racists and Antifa hoodlums on the other side of the Police Line. Both were hateful, both were unruly and mean, both were crossing the line of anything we would call Peaceful or Loving.
      Who was the worst and most hateful person of all time? Let's say just for the purpose of illustration we pick Hitler. Can you forgive Hitler for his atrocities? Can you? Can God? Yes, God was waiting, ready and able to forgive Hitler. It may be hard to focus hard enough on God's Character and Grace, but He in his Omnipotence was capable of Total Forgiveness even of Hitler.
      Now Hitler would have been responsible for Repentance and asking for Forgiveness. He would have had to ask and be willing to repent. I seriously doubt he did that; but God was there Waiting and Willing to Forgive. Yes, that's hard for us, as mere humans, to understand, but for God it is quite reasonable. God takes our offenses, (if we ask Forgiveness), and places them so far behind His back, that He actually forgets what we did. When Jesus died and shed His Blood for our sins, we who have accepted what He did and asked His Forgiveness are covered with that shed Blood. When God the Father looks at a Believer, all He can see is the Blood of His Son. His Love and Forgiveness is all that is reflected to His eyes. He can no longer see our sin.
      This of course is a Godly trait that we humans don't possess. We have to try a lot harder to even approximate God's Grace. But even as humans we have a God Commanded Responsibility to forgive all others. All others. The David Dukes, the child molesters, the murderers, the liars, the thieves, the drug dealers, the pimps, the terrorists, the rapists, the thugs. All others, no matter what the offence. If we want our own sins forgiven we have to be willing to forgive the offences of others. A scary proposition.

     
Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV) In Jesus' own Words14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


     
  It isn't easy to forgive the bad guys, but it is our Responsibility. It probably wasn't easy for God the first time He did it either. But He has progressed to a level of Forgiveness and Grace we must strive to attain. I hate what the KKK and white supremacists stand for. But I must learn to forgive them, pray for their Salvation, and try my best to Love them anyway. I have to feel sorry for their Lost Condition. After all these mean Evil men were once some sweet Mother's suckling child. They were once cute little kids playing with their kittens and puppies. Their Momma's nursed and loved them, prayed for them, and tried to teach them right from wrong.
      For me it is just as hard to forgive Racial Hatred on one side as on the other. I see racial hatred on both sides, the white supremacists and the Black Lives Matter. Sure not all on the BLM side are hardened in their hatred of the white race, but many are. Is their Hate any less sinful from that on the other side? I think not. Both sides need God's Forgiveness just like I certainly do for other offences that I must own.

      Donald J. Trump is right. There are in Fact, Two Sides at Fault. Two Armies of Hatred to blame. It is my understanding that the very first act of aggression in #Charlottesville was the throwing of open bottles of urine by either the BLM or Antifa counter-protesters toward the KKK. Whoever started the fighting, both sides were swinging clubs, shouting obscenities, and spewing hate. Both sides were wrong in what they were doing. Neither was completely Peaceful and Lawful in their respective assemblies. There is nothing at all wrong in President Trump pointing that out. One must identify all sides of a problem to solve it.
      Both sides need our understanding and God's Forgiveness. We can't solve this problem until we admit where we went wrong. The President has a head start on the Media Pundits and the Newspapers. He is at least being Honest about where blame lies. Now we all have to admit part of the blame lies within us all. We have to Love and Forgive each other as God has taught us.

The Meaning of your Flag


       
 

      When you see a Flag displayed at a Protest or a Rally it means something. A Mexican Flag is an Anti-United States Statement. A Communist Flag is an Anti-American, Anti-Constitution Statement. An ISIS Flag is an Evil Anti-American, Anti-Christian, Anti-Civilization, Anti-everything Statement of Hate; likewise, with a Nazi-Flag it is based only on Hate and Destruction, and we must remember that in WWII Islam and the Nazis’ fought side by side against everything good.       We see other Flags at today’s Rallies and Protests. We see a Flag with the symbols of Antifa. Supposedly meaning Anti-Fascist, it in all actuality is a Pro-Fascism banner. The groups Antifa includes in its gunsight like the Trump Administration are as far from Fascist as one can demonstrate. Fascism is a Leftist leaning movement just like Communism, Socialism, Progressivism, and Yes, Nazism. Hitler was after all a Socialist and a stated Anti-Capitalist. He used Socialist and Anti-Capitalist rhetoric in all his speeches to build his Socialist following. His Speeches could be played back at Bernie Sanders rallies and the Bernie fanatics would all believe it was Bernie talking. Hitler deceived the Propagandized Masses just like Bernie, Warren, Hillary, and the DNC are deceiving the Democrat Party and its affiliated minions, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ, and Antifa.   
      The BLM Flags and Banners are another Leftist group that I kind of feel sorry for; after all they have very little idea of what they themselves believe or stand for. Mostly poorly Educated, they stand against everything the GOP and Conservatives are trying to do to support Black Communities not realizing that the Republican Party is the one that has fought Democrat Bigots tooth and nail to give them the Civil Rights they now enjoy. The Democrat Party is the Party that formed the KKK, wrote all the Jim Crow Laws and fought the Civil Rights Amendment. Not one Democrat voted to free slaves or let them vote. Yet who do BLM members vote for? The Party that held them down. Any time you see a BLM symbol, you see a confused victim of DNC policy and the feckless 8 years of the Obama Administration, which set Civil Rights back 40 years or more. Obama didn’t understand the Black Community or their needs. Obama was raised as a privileged, and communist young white, by white Grandparents and a white mother.   
      The Flag of LGBTQ is a Stolen Flag from the Bible. The Rainbow is God’s Symbol. God’s Throne sits against the backdrop of the Rainbow,
Revelation 4:3 (KJV)
3  And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
he set the Rainbow in our skies as a symbol that He would never again punish men for their sins by universal flood. Oh, how ironic that this Sinful Community would use the Rainbow to taunt God for His Righteousness and Goodness. LGBTQ worships Satan. They promote his filthy agenda. They wave their flag in God’s face in rebellion. That rebellion applies as well to everything America Stands for.       Our Constitution Guarantees the Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Free Speech. Waving flags has sometimes been supported as Constitutional by the Courts. Even Burning the U.S. Flag has received some protection as a form of Free Speech, but how far will this slur on genuine Patriotism be allowed to metastasize. What depth of depravity will be allowed.
      I say, if you are about to be a part of a so-called Peaceful Protest and you decide to stop and put on a mask or a helmet to hide your identity, carry an axe handle and pepper spray, or such manner of preparation, then I say, your intentions are not Peaceful and you have forfeited your own Constitutional Rights. Axe handles, mace, and bricks are not Peaceful. Throwing open bottles of urine, bags of feces, and setting garbage cans on fire, is not Peaceful. Foul Language and levels of nudity may be broadly considered Free Speech, but are they Logical, rational ways to productively influence the other side of the issue.       We have lost our ability to communicate with each other. We yell and scream obscenities instead of reasoning with each other. We don’t bother to study History or try to learn from it, so we are guaranteed Failure through repeating our mistakes. Waving a flag is never a substitute for understanding all the issues. We have more than enough Flag Wavers. What we desperately need are Problem Solvers.       There is one more Flag, that sadly, almost no one is waving. It is the Christian Flag. If we took its Pledge faithfully and fully there would be no more need for demonstrations, protests and the like. Jesus really is the Answer to all our need, wants, and desires. He is waiting to show us how to Forgive our Brothers and Sisters. Oh, for a day when we quit calling each other bad names and truly Loved each other as the Bible waits to teach us. If you want to stop things like the tragedy at Charlottesville, open your Bible and read it this week.

All Racism denotes a lack of Intelligence and Education


      White supremacy is stupid, it is of course racist, and it denotes an education via Fascist Propaganda as opposed to Historical Correctness. Black Lives Matter likewise is based on Leftist Propaganda and requires a certain ignorance of Historical Fact. Both sides are angry, unhappy, people with a certain lack of Christian Love in their miserable lives. You cannot call yourself a Christian and be racist. It won’t work.
      I have never understood, as a white man, what fuels White Supremacy. I have never once felt superior to any fellow man even where he or she is clearly confused by a false religion, a cult, or a racist ideology. If they are involved in false teaching or a cult, I simply feel sorry for them. I don’t hate any group of people no matter how badly I may hate their foolish and destructive behavior. I simply realize they can’t possibly have Jesus leading their lives to be involved it racist behavior.
      Going to Church or belonging to a Denomination, or a Cult, never makes you a Christian. Only a personal relationship with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can do that, and no other Religion can give you the Peace and Joy and Security that having Jesus as you Friend and Brother can do. Buddhists can feel good but that is not joy. Hindus can know a lot of false gods and idols but none have Salvation Power. Muslims don’t even know that Allah doesn’t exist, they are perhaps the most hopeless of all lost souls. They have neither a peaceful religion or sound theology to fall back on, and if they really read and believe the Evil Koran they become radicalized terrorists by nature. Only Christians have a Savior, Absolute truth, and Joy on their side. Only they have the Power of The Holy Spirit and the Wisdom of the Creator. Only they have true Peace.
      I as a white man of course have no idea or comprehension of what it feels like to grow up and live like a black man or woman. Black men however have no direct knowledge of what I, as a white man, am thinking. I have never owned a slave or wanted to. I have picked very little cotton, but neither have the vast majority of black men. I have never entertained a racist thought. A Black man can’t look at me and know that, but I know it, and it is a principal I have lived by. I am sure and know personally many blacks of the same character. What precious time we waste by not sharing our knowledge of racial peace with the masses.
      I honestly feel that most people in the Charlottesville Protests today have no understanding of how easy it is for different races to get along. We all need to help them with that understanding. The Place to Start is Jesus. There is no Racial Bigotry in the Christian Church Body. Not the actual Body, and we need to get the tares who do exhibit bigotry in any form out of our fellowship until they wise up.

                   Desk known as Resolute, made from the wreckage of the Warship
           Resolute, being removed from the Oval Office for Office renovation this week.

      The Fake News this weekend is focused on lying media efforts to make Donald J. Trump look feckless and lazy; traits that should have been emblazoned forever upon Barack Hussein Obama’s traitorous forehead.       Donald J. Trump is the Hardest Working President Since WWII. He makes Obama look like Garfield the Cat on his laziest day, and that is being far overly gracious to Barry. Trump gets more done before Breakfast than Obama did in a week.       Leftist bots are lying and saying that Trump takes more Vacations than Obama. It would be laughable were it not so disingenuous and mean. Nobody in Presidential History ever wasted more money and time on unneeded Vacations than Barack Hussein Obama and his wife, “the Mooch”. They flew so many hairdressers, maids, assistants, and dog walkers to Vacations on Air Force One, the poor Pilots had to make several separate trips back and forth to Washington to pick up the family dogs. Yes, hundreds of thousands of dollars for a trip to haul Labradoodles.  Never was an Administration more wasteful and callus.       The reason for the Trump Working Vacation this month is that the Oval Office is being renovated. It had really been allowed to run down during the 8 years under the Obama’s. Anyway, the Trumps have plenty of places of their own to stay while renovations go on, with zero cost to American Taxpayers. We’d have been paying lavishly for a temporary pad for the Obama’s. But no mention of why Trump volunteered for a Working Vacation from the conniving Leftist Media. They see this just as another chance to make Trump look bad.       The Newsweek Cover this month was a sad epitaph for the once proud magazine; now a tabloid rag. Trying to make our Hard-Working President look like Al Bundy is only funny to a fool. I doubt Donald has ever slouched in a recliner with a bag of chips. He prefers hamburgers, fries and ice cream in his working lunches.  Obama officials said, “never waste a crisis.”  Trump’s motto is, “never waste time eating lunch, when there is work that can be hashed out.”

A View on Journalism by a Trained Journalist

      The entire Washington Post Editorial Staff, Ditto the NY Times, and in fact the whole Washington Press Corp needs to take a Remedial Journalism Course immediately. The WAPO publication of illegally obtained transcripts of our Presidents Conversations was not only illegal, it broke every basic rule of objective Journalism. Journalism does not include Kamikaze Attacks on a President. Journalism is Honest and Fair, Objective, reporting of the Who, What, Where, Why, When, How, and maybe How Much of a new...s story. When you cross the line, and print and illegally obtained transcript of a private conversation, you violate the most basic rule of decency, the privacy every American espouses, and our Constitutional Rights.
       Opinion Articles belong on the Opinion Page and News Headlines are on a different page because of very Basic Journalistic Principles. When News Headlines become Op-eds news is no longer news but indoctrination. Americans are hungry for unbiased news sources. Even, (maybe I should say especially) our Local Evening News on TV has completely lost this objectivity. Our Region 8 News is reading verbatim propaganda Edited and Produced by Media Matter's the George Soros funded Media-Checker off the news wire. The stories are all twisted and worded to make the Trump Administration look bad. The America Public deserves better. Region 8 Viewers deserve better, Honesty in reporting is not too much to ask. Just give us the story and let we viewers decide which Congressmen, Lawyers, Businessmen, Actors, Bankers, and Manufacturers are telling the truth. Of course that won't be very many of the Congressmen, but let us make that differentiation.
      Fake Skewed Polls are just as bad. All the Polls seem heavily weighted with Democrats and Left-leaning Independents, and only carefully selected moderate Republicans. The few Polls I have been contacted by, didn't like my answers, asking questions over and over, and one hung up to get a better respondent for their purposes.
Romans 1:25 (KJV) 25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
