A True Religion Is Better Than A Philosophy

Having a religious belief based on the teachings and the words of a true and living GOD (YHVH) is far better than having a philosophy created by men and women just like you and me. Why? Because 9 times out 10 these "self styled" or so called" philosophers are no better than you or me. These people are driven by their egos and their narrow and limited understanding of life, reality and actuality.

Why narrow and limited? They, like you and me, do not live long enough. The best they can produce is a belief system that is followed by individuals that are weak and narrow minded themselves.

This happens frequently because the overwhelming majority of people on planet earth do not know the difference between a belief system and a true religion. Using popular definitions, "Secular Humanism" and Darwinism" can be classified as religions.

Belief systems are not religions at all. They are merely the philosophies and traditions of men and women masquerading as a religion. These belief systems are given credibility by intellectuals and the academic community because of perceived similarities, not real similarities.

However, before we begin this discussion, let's define religion and use a standard definition that has been accepted by scholars around the world as an accurate understanding. A religion is a belief binding the spiritual nature of man or a woman to a super natural being that has the power to create other super natural beings and self sustaining life forms and involves a feeling of dependence and responsibility, together with the feelings and practices which naturally flow from such a belief.

By this definition, Confucianism is not a religion. It follows the teachings of Confucius a natural man, born of woman and later died. The same is true for Taoism, Shintoism, Buddhism, Hinduism (based on the Vedic writings and philosophies), spiritualism of all kinds are philosophies and so is Zoroastrianism, "Secular Humanism", Darwinism and Communism (God is the state).

Islam is based on the revelations of an angel (Gabriel) to a man (Muhammad Mohamet), born of woman and died. Muslims believe Allah (God), via an angel (Gabriel), delivered these messages (the Quran/Koran) to Muhammad. Muhammad himself never claimed or professed that he received revelations from any other source other than the angel Gabriel.

Even though angels are super natural beings, they can not create other beings or self sustaining life forms. Therefore, Gabrielism is a philosophy. However, it does not exist as such. What exist is Islam. Since Angels are messengers of GOD (YHVH), the GOD of the Jews and Christians, Islam for all practical purposes is a derivative of Judaism, though no true confessing Muslim will ever admit this fact. If Islam divorces itself from Judaism, which it has, it is automatically reduced to a philosophy.

Mormonism is based on the teachings of Moroni a prophet that was reportedly sent as a messenger by God to Joseph Smith, another man born of woman and was later killed. Mormonism by definition is not a religion. Moroni was a man, born of woman and died. Mormonism is basically a philosophy that is a derivative or a sect of Christianity.

Likewise, Satanism is tied to an angel, a super natural being that can not create other super natural beings or self sustaining life forms. By definition - Satanism is a philosophy. Therefore, in a contest of Satanism vs Judeo-Christianity, one can clearly and emphatically state Judeo-Christianity is better than Satanism.

There is only one religion on earth that reports and claims that its revelations and teachings come directly from GOD, and that is Judaism and Christianity. We might as well say Judeo-Christianity because they are truly one and the same. So when one says one's religion is better than a philosophy there is truth in this statement.

By definition there is only one true religion on earth and that is Judeo-Christianity. The reason: Angels are created super natural entities that did not create themselves, nor can they create other super natural beings or self sustaining life forms. Even Satan is a fallen angel.

Even though the Vedic writings make numerous references to super natural entities, nowhere in any of the writings do the authors state they were divinely inspired by GOD. Therefore, the only logical conclusion one can reach is: All the nations on earth and all the people on earth have been beneficiaries of only one true religion and that religion is Judeo-Christianity. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. Since there is only one true religion, it is, by default, better than any one's philosophy.

Basically, when we engage in religious discussions, we are not discussing religions. We are actually discussing systems of beliefs. A system of beliefs can be about anything or started by anyone, and in this discussion, one can legitimately call into question, whether or not one is better or more beneficial than another.

True Christianity and Judaism are, in essence, not religions at all, they are a way of life within a Kingdom ruled by a righteous, all powerful, all knowing, perfect and loving GOD. However, since our discussion is limited to religion and philosophy, I can state emphatically in this article that a true religion can only be created by The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

On this planet that GOD is YHVH. YHWH, Yahweh, Yahveh and Jehovah are accepted translations. Anything else is a belief system started and perpetuated by men and women and those that follow them.

How Do You Know GOD Exist?

How does anyone know GOD (YHVH) exist? The mere fact that you have a concept and/or realization of GOD or an all powerful entity or force called GOD is proof of the existence of GOD or that force or entity that is known as GOD.

Why? Because it is impossible to think or believe in something that you do not know. The primary reason why so many people have a problem with understanding and accepting the reality of GOD is because they have a mind that has the ability to ask a question.

If GOD is...then, why? If GOD is not...then, how come? Seeking the answers to questions from an inquiring mind is a daunting task; especially when that mind demands instant proof. Let's follow this line of reasoning to its ultimate conclusion. What human being do you know (Jesus the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One and His Anointing being the exception)....

1. Has the ability to put an entire universe in place?
2. Has the ability to hang a planet in orbit around an explosive ball of gases thousands of miles in diameter and not be incinerated by it?
3. Can create and develop gravitational forces that are so precise they can keep you on the surface of a spinning planet in space?
4. Can create life forms that reproduce exactly and maintain themselves?
5. Has the ability to design and develop food supplies that can sustain these life forms indefinitely?
6. Can design, create and develop all the forces that operate on this earth and throughout the entire universe with mathematical and scientific precision?
7. Put in place all the processes that allow the creation of goods and services by living beings that can actually think independently of each other?
8. Can give a living life form the ability to reason and build entire cities out what was already in place?
9. Has the ability to transcend time and space and is not limited by either?

This is enough. The answer to all these questions is exactly same. You nor I can think of any human being that has ever lived on this planet or born of woman or in a test tube that has or will have any of these abilities (Christ being the exception). The fact of the matter is human beings hate the fact that we are limited and finite beings.

We basically want to have everything our minds can imagine and live forever without problems, heartache, despair, pain, frustrations, war, sickness, death, disease, destruction, famines, turbulent natural environments, hopelessness or a host of other human circumstances, situations and/or conditions.

If we are to believe those among us that have developed some skills in the sciences, then, all our collective intelligence has managed to create after thousands of years of existence is a cell phone and the ability to destroy ourselves. We have managed to create a class of intellectual derelicts that really believe they are on to something big. What fools we mortals be.

GOD is because he says that he is. End of discussion case closed. Your limited understanding of GOD and the knowledge and power He possesses is irrelevant in this discussion. Mankind collectively has had a problem with GOD, because He refuses to treat us like babies. He fully expects us to grow up, realize His presence in the this universe we live in, and use the intelligence He has given us.

This incessant whining about GOD and His ultimate purpose for our lives on this planet is no more or less than the infantile ravings of a spoiled child. Just because we aren't zapped with a lightning bolt for our stupid decisions, ideals, ideas and idiotic notions does not mean He is not there or does not care. He told us what to do to have sane, decent and progressive societies and we, collectively have refused to follow His dictates and now reap what we, collectively, have sown.

There is no need to ask the question what GOD or whose GOD? The answer to this question, to the dismay of Muslims, Shintoist, Taoist, Buddhist, Hinduist and whatever else people have decided to believe in, is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Now, how do you know this without question or doubt in that gray matter you happen to call a brain?

This GOD and the people that believe in this GOD have established the vast majority of the principles for all the technology you are using. The people that believe in this GOD have created the modern world you live in. I challenge anyone, in any place and at any time to disprove this statement. Give me your best shot.

Even if you are an empty-headed liberal intellectualist or a "Secular Humanist", you can lay this question to rest once and for all. How do you know GOD exist?...because you and every human being that has ever lived or will live is absolute and undeniable proof.

Faith Vs Reason

No concept or precept is more misunderstood than faith. Faith can survive without reason, but it is impossible for reason to survive without faith. Every decision an individual makes is based on faith.

What confuses the uninformed is the notion that faith is best expressed or explained within a religious or spiritual context. Why should any intelligent person celebrate a man or woman of reason, when reason, itself, is an expression of faith?

Faith, in it's simplest form, is no more or less than a belief in an outcome. Reason, in its simplest form, is no more or less than the belief in one's ability to exercise sound judgment and make good decisions.

Making a decision is an outcome is it not? Choosing between alternative courses of action is an outcome is it not? Even the absence of reason and rationality is an expression of faith. It is simply negative and unproductive in nature.

What we should be celebrating is the triumph of faith over our individual and collective doubts and fears. Everything men and women do is an expression of faith not reason or rationality. The more educated or learned an individual becomes the more he/she believes he/she is acting with reason and not faith, when the opposite is true.

"Come let us reason together." The famous words of the Apostle Paul. How can any person use his or reason if he or she has no faith? Paul was intelligent enough to realize people everywhere have faith in something. Once the process of reasoning is initiated, it becomes self evident, to the informed and uninformed alike, that what is being discussed is a person's faith in his/her own abilities, capacities, capabilities, talents and knowledge.

Once the process of reasoning is initiated, it also becomes self evident that a person is expressing his/her faith in his/her inability to use his/her mind and intellect. This negative use of faith is the fundamental reason why so many people have self inflicted psychological problems and are virtually incapable of effective living.

Everyday, and in all kinds of ways, without even realizing it, billions of people demonstrate their most basic faith of all. From birth til death and from morning til night, we express our faith in all the unwritten universal laws and principles that govern the operation of this galaxy. Billions of people have little or no knowledge of them or conscious awareness they even exist.

Everyday billions of people walk on the surface of this planet having absolute and undying faith that the earth will continue in its orbit around the sun. We also have faith that gravity will continue to hold our atmosphere in place and keep us and our water supply on the surface. Faith is the cement that holds our fragile lives together.

Are Liberals And Liberalism Dangerous To Your Health?

Liberalistic philosophy has been the scourge of humanity since GOD (YHVH) put us on earth. For all you folks that have a problem with GOD, put a universe in place, then I'll consider your point of view. YHVH is there, whether you know it or not, or believe it or not.

Every great civilization the world has ever known except three, has been severely weakened or has fallen before the liberal horde. Just what is liberalism? In theory and by definition, liberalism sounds great. If you don't believe it, look it up in a good dictionary.

In practice, it has brought more death, destruction and misery than all the wars prior to World World I combined. This incessant philosophy has led to the rise and empowerment of the most brutal, barbaric and blood-thirsty regimes this world has ever known. At it's core liberalism is the belief that mankind can direct its own affairs without GOD.

If liberalism is so dangerous why do so many well educated, wealthy, intelligent and generous people embrace it and gladly wear the label? Liberalism is easily embraced and widely supported by the masses because, on its surface, it seems benign and benevolent.

However, underneath this thin covering is a ravenous beast waiting to be unleashed on an uninformed population. This confusion about liberalism and its murderous and destructive past and its soon to come murderous and destructive future is easily understandable because many believe a reformer or a progressive is a liberal.

Many unsuspecting liberal supporters also associate advocates for change, human rights, decent standards of living, fair trade practices, pollution control, environmental causes, help for the poor, child care, and all the "feel good" political and intellectual positions as liberal causes. They are not. These causes are adopted by liberals because of mass appeal.

Who in their right mind can be against teaching our children reading, writing and arithmetic? It is because of these "feel good"socio -economic causes that liberals have slipped in amongst the true reformers and advocates and masquerade as men and/or women for the cause and for the people.

In actuality, liberals are selfish deceptive individuals that use popular socio-economic issues to solidify their power base and promote their own secret agendas. Once in power, they will plunge the world into chaos and destruction. This is the same method they have been using for thousands of years.

This slide into liberalistic induced annihilation is so gradual and unassuming, so thorough and complete, until the people that are being destroyed rarely recognize ruination is the fate waiting for them. Liberals don't realize it either. Only after it is over, do people ask the all too obvious question: "How did all these well educated and intelligent people let this happen"?

World War I, World II, Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, Mao Tse-tung, Idi Amin Dada, Pol Pot, Pappa Doc, Benito Mussolini, communism, socialism, predatory capitalism, fascism, totalitarianism, satanism and a host of other isms and social malcontents that includes mass murderers like Charles Manson are all products of modern liberalism.

This is important to remember because liberals are gradually moving into power positions through out the world and especially in America. As a nation, we have already moved farther to the social and political left than is reasonable or practical. In time, we will be beyond the point of no return. Let's briefly examine what this insidious philosophy has already given us besides taxation from crib to grave.

In our modern times, liberals masquerade as "Secular Humanist". These "Secular Humanist" have literally transformed our schools into day care centers, social experiments, dysfunctional institutions and a nightmare for our children. They almost destroyed and demoralized our military forces. Our manufacturing base has been gutted and shipped overseas. "Secular Humanist" have relegated millions to the welfare rolls, while turning thriving industrial communities into economic wastelands.

Under the "Secular Humanist" liberalistic agenda, our nation has become a cess pool of illegal drugs, crime, sexual perversion, immorality, deceit, deception, lies, fraud, governmental abuse, corruption and legal thievery. They are doing everything they can to drive GOD from the public arena and out of our collective consciousness.

Remember, at its core liberalism is the belief that mankind can direct its own affairs without GOD. Liberalism, our ancient nemesis, has put America on a downward spiral, from which we may never recover and this does not include the murder of over 40 million babies in abortion factories.

Because of their blunderous and often short-sighted foreign policy decisions, "Secular Humanist" have unwittingly contributed to the birth and growth of the modern terrorist movement. Don't take my word for this, review their sordid record and history for yourselves. Every group and individual that has ever embracedliberalistic philosophy was eventually destroyed by it.

If you are GODLY person and want to save yourself from these seemingly benign and benevolent people, Republican, Democrat or Independent, ask your political candidate one or all of the following questions:

1. "Do you believe mankind can manage its own affairs without GOD"? If your political candidate says, "Yes". You know to end your support for this individual. This individual's personal philosophy and beliefs will be dangerous to you and your family.

2. "Do you believe in GOD?" If the individual says he/she believes in a GOD, or believes in a higher power, spirituality, all religions are the same, or some other empty-headed liberalistic or humanistic reponse; or, does not or can not name for his/her GOD, you are talking to a reprobate that is unstable in all his/her or ways. This person is a real politician and absolutely can not be trusted. This person's finger is always in the air testing the political winds and does not deserve your support or vote.

If the person says, "No". You know you are talking to a fool. It is written: "A fool says in his heart there is no GOD". This person is the most dangerous of all. Definitely, do not support this man or woman or vote for him/her.

If the person says, "Yes", but can not and does not name his/her GOD, you are talking to a reprobate. If "Yes", and denies the power of GOD, you are talking to a liar. This individual is just as dangerous as the fool and is far more likely than not to become a corrupt politician. Definitely, do not support this individual or vote for him/her.

If the person says, "Yes", names his/her GOD and talks about his/her GOD with pride and what principles and/or philosophy guides his/her decision-making process, this is your candidate. Support him/her and vote for him/her.

If the person's GOD is Satan, the Earth or other empty-headed response, you know you are talking to fool.

If your candidate is a known liar and/or reprobate, you know he/she can not be trusted and does not deserve your support or vote. If your candidate evades the question, you have a political grifter. This man/woman is in politics to enrich himself/herself. Do not support or vote for him/her. If your candidate is a true politician, he/she will say or do anything to get elected, do not support or vote for this person.

If you are a reprobate yourself, a liar, immoral, an empty-headed intellectual, humanist or a fool, it does not matter who you support or vote for. However, if you want the best possible candidate, find someone that has some moral and GODLY values. Even a fool should be weary of "Secular Humanists", "Liberals" and their "Liberalism" because they are definitely dangerous to your health.

Are Our Political Leaders, Government Agencies, Public Officials, Corporations & Small Business Owners Aiding and Abetting Criminals?

Aiding and abetting a criminal ( anyone that has violated a statute) { A statute ( a law passed by a legislative body)} is also a crime. Crime (an act in violation of a law).

A law (all the rules of conduct established by the authority or customs of a nation). There are no, ifs, ands or buts, if our political leaders, government agencies, public officials, corporations and small business owners are not following the law, ignoring the or failing to enforce the law, then by definition they are aiding and abetting a criminal element within our country.

If we, as a nation, choose not to enforce our laws or give amnesty to those that violate them, then we are creating, nurturing and developing a culture of crime, violence and lawlessness.

This action, if allowed to go unchecked, would automatically put America on the same path that is turning Mexico and practically all of Central and South America into failed states. Failed states, without exception, have corrupt, self-serving and ineffective government and an entrenched, organized and armed group of people that support them. Leaders in a failed or failing stated are more concerned about themselves, their supporters, and their collective self enrichment than the needs of their people.

Practically all failed states have institutionalized graft, crime and corruption. Laws within these countries protect the influential, the rich and the powerful. Legal thievery is practiced and condoned by government officials. This condition doesn't happen overnight, it takes years. All the values that stabilize a nation are gradually eroded until the entire nation becomes destablized.

Many failing societies have a semblance of stability because people are still working at jobs and there is still some economic actvity. All failed states either lapse into factionalism, or they are eventually controlled by dictators or tyrannical governments that rule by force and intimidation. Surely, you do not want this to happen to America? Americans are too over-confident in our perceived wealth and invincibility. Al-Qaida's attack on 9/11/2001 should have convinced us we are not invulnerable. Superman might be, but we are not.

We keep for getting, we were once on the precipice of becoming a failed state ourselves and fought a bloody civil war to bring us back together as a nation. There are only four elements that hold people together as a nation without force, intimidation, ruthless suppression and violence. They are laws, values, beliefs and economic stability. Begin to erode either one, and any nation or empire will begin to decline.

Because of our failed political leadership, it has reported and estimated that we have 8-12 million undocumented individuals within our borders that have no allegience to our country. Already they are beginning to take advantage of our systems, services, and legal processes. Every American needs to ask himself/herself what happens when the low paying jobs run out? What will these people do if we enter another major recession?

Their very presence is already pushing our crime rate up because they have violated our laws by crossing our borders illegally or violating visa requirements. Could mass riots happen if their basic needs are not met? We need to think about these things seriously and address this issue of illegal immigration with courage and resolve. We have a legitimate and proven legal process. Lets begin to use it.

Colonizing America Vs Illegal Immigration

One of my readers has taken the position that American colonist were illegal immigrants. I'm glad she did. The Europeans that left their countries and came to America were not illegal immigrants. America, as a nation, did not exist at that time. That is precisely why the Puritans, Quakers, Lutherans, Calvinist and others seeking freedom from persecution came here.

No European nation would allow them or any one else to enter their country enmasse without permission. Such an act would be considered an invasion and met with military force. In addition, Protestant beliefs were not acceptable in many European communities.

The Native American nations accepted the settlers until their numbers began to grow. Let's examine the facts. It was the native Americans that began allying themselves with the settlers and colonists in their wars against each other. They had no idea what they were unleashing upon themselves. The rest is history. If the 12 largest tribes had banded together against the settlers from the very beginning, the world's history would be different.

The same is true for Latin America and Liberia. If the native Latin American populations had united against the Spaniards, the history of Latin America might be different. Instead tribal groups within the native population allied themselves with the settlers and colonialist in their wars against each other. They too had no idea what they were unleashing upon themselves.

Liberia suffered the same fate. It took the native Liberians a long time to overthrow the entrenched American families and their corrupt government. Liberia is now in the process of rebuilding after their bloody uprising. They will succeed in their efforts as long as they have honest, dedicated leadership and the people work together as a nation, rather than self-serving and selfish individuals. (See Liberia)

Since huge segments of Latin America's population did not unite and rise up in the very beginning to overthrow their entrenched families and their corrupt governments, they have paid the price.

Americans united in the late 17Th century to overthrow our entrenched families and their corrupt governments. England did the same, France, Germany, Spain and the list goes on. When people fail to unite, to overthrow their tyrants, they bring devastation upon themselves.

Let's fast forward to the present. No government can exist without the support of people. The Cubans that supported Fidel Castro and his revolutionary army rose up and overthrew their corrupt government. Instead of forming a government of honest dedicated leaders, he did the opposite and Cuba has suffered every since.

Millions of Cubans welcomed him with opened arms. Many more did not rise up or demand anything, instead they fled to America and other countries and tried to conduct a clandestine campaign against him from sanctuaries.

The Russians rose up and overthrew the Czar, The Iranians rose up and overthrew the Shah, the Poles rose up and overthrew their corrupt communist government. However, unlike the Russians, the Iranians, and many nations in Latin America that replaced one corrupt government with another one that was just as corrupt, the Poles decided on honest, dedicated leadership and are now a leading country in Eastern Europe.

What makes America what it is...is not our economy. Germany, South Korea, Israel and Japan have similar economies. They are simply smaller nations. Size is not the key. Russia and Canada control more territory. It's not our natural resources. Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru are just as rich in natural resources. It is not our form of government. There are at least 50 "Constitutional Republics" with elected representatives around the world.

Religious beliefs is not the key. All of Mexico, Central and South America, India, and the Islamic Nations are far more religious. It's not our technology. Most of our consumer technology comes from Japan, China and Germany. Chinese and Russian missiles are just as effective as ours. Our culture and customs are not the keys. America, as a nation, doesn't really have a culture, customs or traditions.

In Japan's initial rise to greatness, the UN did not exist. After World War II, the vast majority of the money spent for rebuilding went to Europe, not Japan. The Japanese literally rebuilt Japan themselves . The world has given trillions to Somalia, Haiti, The Dominican Republic and the Palestinians and they are still no better off. We have spent trillions on poverty in America and our minority communities are more poverty stricken today than they were before.

What makes America, any nation, or any group of people what they are...are the people themselves. It's what the people do or do not that makes the difference. I could talk about 100 countries where people are struggling and dying rather than coming together as a group or a nation. The answer is always the same. What makes a nation great are its people and those they choose to govern them and lead them. By default, Latin America chose what is has.

Exposing The Myths About Western Culture

It's about time our schools, colleges and universities stop teaching our children about the triumph of Western Culture. I think it is time, we stop lying to ourselves and to our children. We are victims of our own propaganda.

The reason why Western Culture is a dominating force on planet earth has nothing to do with Western Culture, science or our natural resources and everything to do with GOD (YHVH). For all you folks that have a problem with GOD, put a universe in place; then, I'll consider your point of view.

For centuries westerners went to Egypt and elsewhere to learn and understand the applied sciences. Throughout history you can read about the improbable things that happened so that one group emerged victorious over another. Carthage should have easily defeated the Romans, but they did not. If it were not for unbelievable decisions made by Medo-Persian rulers, the Macedonians would have never defeated the Medes and the Persians.

Athens should have easily defeated the Spartans, but disease struck them down. Even Pericles did not escape this scourge. Alexander the Great died of a mysterious illness. His empire was divided among his 4 generals. Under their leadership, the empire he had conquered eventually collapsed. Egypt should be a major world power today, but it isn't. Two terrible winters in Russia destroyed two armies, the French and the Germans.

The Ottoman-Turks and the Germans should have won World War I with little difficulty, but they didn't. The Germans and the Japanese should have won World War II, but they didn't. America should have defeated the Chinese and North Koreans, but we didn't. We should have easily defeated the Vietminh and theViet Cong, but we didn't. Because of our inability to defeat these two Second World nations, things do not look good for America's long term survival as a major world power.

Throughout history are blunders that are so profound, it is hard to believe that intelligent, well educated people could have made them. I have just given you a snapshot. There are far too many incidents to mention in this blog. However, research in any public library will verify everything I have highlighted about Western Culture in general.

Let's turn to the sciences. 95% of all scientific discovers were made by Jews or Christians, by people living in countries that were friendly to Jews and Christians or dominated by Christians. Without theJudeo-Christian influence, pagan Europeans, Americans, Canadians and all other pagan peoples on planet earth would still be using 18Th century technology.

Whenever Western Culture strayed from its Judeo-Christian principles, Europe became a blood bath. In fact, true Western Culture is a 3,000 year history of betrayal, deceit, treachery, murder and destruction on massive scales. North and South America, the Far East, the Pacific Realm and the Middle East were not spared.

Remove the Judeo-Christian influence and Western Culture would be considered barbaric by any reasonable standard. Every institution from the lowest to the highest, the sciences, our societies, and everything and all things in between have been recipients and beneficiaries of theJudeo-Christain influence.

Our growth and development into something remotely resembling civilization has nothing to do with Western Culture and everything to do with the will of GOD working through the minds of men and women.
