Only a
Loss of National Spirituality
can destroy our liberty
by Joe Holmes
Instead of focusing on what is wrong with our political and ethnic
differences we must support God and Family. Without strong moral
beliefs in God there will be no country to protect the family.
A country's only purpose is to protect the family so they can worship
God with liberty and righteousness.
If the majority of people lived the example of Christ the evil
threats to our liberty would not be an issue. I will outline some
of them but first a statement. I have and continue to learn great
things from non-Christian writers and faiths. I personally believe
Jesus Christ is the only true Lord of the world but I respect and
honor all good people and their faiths so long as they do not infringe
on my liberty. It is not my intent to infringe on those who do not
believe in Jesus Christ but rather that they will recognize the
value of living His example of love and service. Many non-christian
faiths teach love and service and I hope that they will find value
here too. The threats to our world peace and liberty of every country
is based on hate and anger. Hate and anger can only be resolved
if our world increases love and service.
To honor the second great commandment taught by Christ is to honor
and respect all people as you would yourself. No one has the right
to wage war or hatred except to defend one's family and liberty.
If everyone lived this law there would be no racist, bigots, hate
or wars. This commandment has been coined the golden rule; "Do
unto others as you would have them do unto you."
One of my favorite examples of this message is of a relative of
mine who lived in Seattle. He took a visiting nephew to the top
of the space needle. The nephew spit off the observation deck then
watched to see if he hit anyone on the ground. As they left and
were walking on the ground all of a sudden the nephew said, "oh
my gosh" and began to run while looking up to see if anyone
was spitting on him. No one else even thought about it, only the
one who spit on others. The moral to the story is, "Those who
spit on others fears someone will spit them." To save this
world we must get out of fear and replace it with love and service.
The message of this site is that the world has forgotten the messages
of history. The confusion of languages as people built the tower
of babble, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the flood at
the time of Noah were due to wickedness. The various capitations
and destructions of the children of Israel were because of wickedness.
The destruction of the Roman empire and other kingdoms whose only
records may be archeological ruins confirm their wickedness. Each
are proofs of wickedness causing their destruction and loss of liberty.
Today's people ignore history and think like those before that
they can control their destiny without God. We today are
the ten virgins who have come to meet the bridegroom. The following
words from the Bible are the words of Jesus Christ for our day.
MATTHEW CHAPTER 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil
with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;
for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not
enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell,
and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they
that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the
door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know
you not. |
If we are like the five virgins with oil in our lamps we too will
pass through the doors. Those who wake up and realize they do not
have oil will not have time to go get it and will not enter through
the door. Why not one would ask? Jesus taught in parables or stories
to illustrate his messages. Oil is an example of light or lighting
a lamp. It simply means we increase or decrease light based on our
actions. Scientifically Dr. Emoto a Japanese scientist has proven
this point, that actions and thoughts change our atomic matter.

pictures of his experiments. Light was used many times by Christ
and his disciples to illustrate that light is symbolic to drawing
toward heaven. Likewise darkness is used to illustrate drawing away
from God toward hell.
We have some interesting events taking place where evil is touted
as good and good is shunned as bad. One of the hottest issues to
demonstrate this is the gay movement where right is scorned and
wrong is promoted. They proclaim that those who do not accept them
are evil and go all out to scorn those who dare to say they are
not following God. As stated above it is not right for anyone no
matter who or what they are to exercise hate. Gays have the right
to disobey God if they choose. If that were the only issue nothing
need be said more about it. Unfortunately the right is wrong and
wrong is right is used by such movements to create hate and compulsion.
If they only worked for equal rights that would be one thing, but
they are performing hatred and control over those who they do no
like. Even creating laws to put good people in prison, and deny
a parents right to remove their children from public school classes
teaching gay lifestyles.
Racist or hate groups is the same "wrong makes right"
attitude that a wrong by others justifies their hate. Such groups
claim that they are justified because they are just compensating
for past unjust acts by others.
I am going to make a bold statement that may sound unreasonable
at first. It is that,
"there is no such thing as a racist."
That does not means that racism does not exist. What it means is
racist attitudes are the symptom not the cause. A racist is simply
one lacks love and empathy for another groups of people. If a racist
had the compassion ,empathy, tolerance and love Christ taught they
would not act in a racist attitude. Anyone who acts in a racist
manner simply lacks the underlying attributes of love and therefore
is a hater. Racism is the product of hate so lets not get distracted
by words that justify one group hating another because the other
deserves it in their mind. So in this concept it is not racist it
is hate.
The reason I take this position is because those who label someone
else as a racist is used to justify their hate for who ever they
label a racist. This is what is wrong with the racist label. It
simply means it is ok to do greater evil to the other because the
other is a racist. It multiplies hate not tolerance. Sure the racist
situation is wrong and causes great harm. That is not the point
it simply is not the "turn the other cheek" taught by
Christ. It is too often used to mean lets not turn the other cheek
but lets get them back or do something to them before they do it
to us. The racist justification is the same as what Hitler and others
used to justify wars and political oppression upon others
It is the fundamental concept of discussing all the wrongs done
by others to take away our liberty vs. treating the root cause.
The root cause of Hitler's persecuting Jews was simply hate and
pride. Persecuting the Jews was the product of hate and pride not
the racist actions caused by hate and pride.
This concept of a wrong justifies hate is another right is wrong
and wrong is right. If there were total love and tolerance we would
not need those who believe gun control is an issue because guns
would not be used to kill others.
Just as the slogan "guns do not kill people, people do"
the problems in our government is not politicians but the greed
symbolic of a lack of obeying God. To try and keep up with the evil
is impossible. It is like treating the symptom instead of finding
its source and healing what is causing the symptom.
If everyone worked to accumulate light and love half as much as
they work for sex, money and power we would not have the serious
problems effecting our liberty today. This is the message of liberty's
news that it is not the problems by others but the attitudes we
each have that draws us toward darkness or light.
Another hot issue for centuries is over religion. The crusades
and many wars were waged by one religious group against another
because they had a different religious belief or views. It is a
repeat of the right is wrong and wrong is right.
No one has the right to hate or scorn another's religious belief
unless that religion is performing acts that take away another's
liberty. No religion has justification to hate another if the other
is not infringing on their liberty. Even then hate is not the right
attitude. We should love the offender and hate bad acts.
It is impossible to restore all the liberty we are losing each
day by our corrupted government. Both parties are guilty of acts
that are removing our liberty. So what can be done? It is not possible
to cure this problem at this time with hate or uprisings. Simply
because those taking our liberty are steeped in evil anti God acts
and beliefs. The majority of people are either unwilling to stand
up for believing in God or just do not believe or care for Him.
Therefore I propose there are only a few things we can do at this
time.
- Increase ones love and trust in God
- Increase ones love and service to others.
- Get out of the false concepts that ones mind is more
powerful than God
- Get away from the concepts that success is achieving more
sex, money and power.
