SMILING IN MY DISGUST, I STRAIGHTLY REPLIED..."what on earth are you talking about? MAN, no Man nor Woman nor Child can ever be nor become BONDED GOODS -WHY MAN, THAT SLAVERY.' I forgot forthe moment to whom I was addressing, for I was atending a very formal gala event hosted by the PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCITAION OF AUSTRALIA AND THEIR MEMBERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, BEING HOSTED IN OUR SMALL COUNTRY TOWN (and I knew that my being here was only a weak jesture ontheir aprt, against my coming at them directly for I am the Editor of the God's World Christian and Community news magazine,a nd fort he past ten years, I have been openly defying them to make them prove their causes for their so called - WORLD WIDE MENTAL HEALTH AGENDA - for which end use they cannot do so),and the man in front of whom I am is their immediate President, and the time is just after eleven pm and the conferecne has been over for ten minuets, but the fun has just begun. But here I am listening to him adn he istrying tot ell me, in his method of speach of which I am very aware of, is that of THE SLAVE TRADER, DEALING IN BONDING THEIR CAPTIVES OVER TO SLAVERY WORLD WIDE, ANDEVEN TO GENOCIDE OF A NATION OF PEOPLE AS WELL.
Sir John, I surely apologise, for your staement caught me most unawares, and whether or not you ment to say it, or not, but your words are those of an olden time SLAVE TRADER, expressed in a more mdern langauge. Sir john have you studied the Slave trade of the early seventeen and eighteen hundreds of Brittainy (england today), as it was called back then? No, well I ask you to please do so...and I wodner Sir John, which side you would see your self on in that parliament setting of their times? I am wodnering Sir John if perhaps you would be against William Wilberforce and his frends and perhaps be on the side of the parliamentarians who fought to make Slavery a legal work and trade and social practice and who fought Wilberforce and his colleagues for another eighteen years to keep it in place...although he did win in the end and Slavery was abolished in 1833.
Because in the godly Biblical and legal definition and terms of what individual and personal freedom is, it means that all Men are Created Equal, and God has instituted His Ten Commanments which I will quote for you now Sir John from Exodus cahpter 20:
Exodus 20
01: And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
02: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
03: Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
04: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
05: Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
06: Thou shalt not kill.
07: Thou shalt not commit adultery.
08: Thou shalt not steal.
09: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
And now Sir John, why do you use langauge that comes straight out of those evil days, and try to make out that all of mankind is in debted and in bondage to you and your profession? as if to say, that you and your colleagues and profession of mindng the behavioural ways of man kind as if we have become indebted to any of you and are in any legal way in bondage and bound to you and your profession by any means at all, when it is to God all of mankind is to seek His help and His power and glory to cure all of the diseases in the world and to change their behaviour and to turn their lives over to Jesus Christ, so that He can take their (if any real) diseases upon Himself on the Cross and in hisdeath and burial and resurrection and ascencion into heaven and that all men are created equal and are to be bound by no man at all; and only to be bound in fetters and chains if they have been charged with a serious crime against God and Humanity, and are facing a court case and are found to be guilty or have confessed to be guilty, and trhena nd only then is it right anad just and proper to bound them over for either the death penalty or a long term of imprisonment with hardship or a public flogging.
.......Sir, John, your arguments have no validity at all....how can you determine your own self to be sane and free from mental abarrations and confusion and say every one else is suffering from some form of mental illness when there is no such thing as a mental illness? because your whole profession is about human behaviour and human accountability for their actions and, and not brain surgury.
.......I understand Sir, John, exactly what you are saying, but having compassion for people is no excuse for turning the world upside down and forcing people into a position of mental and emotional bondage to the type of lies which your own people use very day...look at Dr. Thomas Szasz and Professor John MacKay as examples who are continually fighting and winning against you and your profession for over forty years now. Are they wrong, too, even though they have PhD's just like you do. Or does a PhD just get in the way of common sense and reasonable observation and godly morality and righteousness and common law Justice for all? smile.
.......well Sir, John, if by the end of tonights events I am found to be in your eyes a mere Martinet, then the night will not be wasted, and if at the end of tonightsevents you have come to see that you are on the wrong side of God and His laws and Comamndments and are as guilty as John Newton was of Slavery, before God called him out of darkness, then tonight has not been wasted either.
......Sir, John, I know you are using such foul language against me at this moment out oft he hardness of your soul and spirit, and therefore I forgive you. How ever God Himself will not be mocked for what you ahve said openly to me before Him and that which is still in your heart. It is always to Him you must go for a rendering of your hardness of your heart, and a softening of it to one of flesh and a new on at that.
......Sir, John, i must go for your words are filled with venom against every man, woman and child and even against your own flesh and wife and children and grandchildren as well.
And I will try not to make much mention of these foul words in my magazine this week indeference to them. Good bye Sir, John and thank youf or the invitation too.
THE JAY WALKER
By: The Old Man - 23rd July 2009
Normally around about the first of the morning, all he ever wanted to do was to get up and go to the toilet, and not be bothered about the days events ahead, till he had some breakfast and a cup’pa coffee or tea inside him; and yet, funnily enough, that was exactly what his wife and kids ever wanted too. There is no telling where or when Jay Walking first began to be a problem for any one, nut for this man, it was always going to happen from the moment he got out of bed. And he never knew it and he would never have guessed that was always going to be his Immediate Problem every morning. And as sure as you can look at your self in the mirror, he would eventually end up “Jay Walking” and as sure as there as stars in the sky, he would have either an accident, or a near miss, and to him, it was always the other persons fault. And he would shake his fist at the perpetrator of his immediate discomforts and perhaps injuries, and cry out to them “You damned fool, why don’t you watch where your going? Can’t you see, I was crossing the road in safety till you came along, you idiot.”
And yet our jay walker is as ordinary as you and I, with the normal amount of intelligence as you and I, and a man of good earning capacity, and his wife and kids were alright and every one liked him and as far as we see for our selves, he had just a slight nervous disposition; and yet he gets a thrill out of skipping in front of fast moving vehicles, trains and trucks and the like. And despite many a friendly warning, he keeps on sticking his neck out, and up till this point you would label him as a foolish bloke, who had queer ideas of fun; and how ever it kept his wife and kids on a nervous tight rope he doesn’t get the point at all; His ideas of lady luck finally run out for him and he is slightly injured many times in succession, with each one a little bit worse than the one before. Now you and I would expect a bloke like him if her were normal to wisen up, and to cut it out. But presently he is hit again, and this time he ends up with a fractured skull. And a week after getting out of hospital a fast moving tram mows him down and breaks an arm and a leg. He tells every one including him self “That’s it I’ve had it, I’m through for ever, from now on, I’m going to use the pedestrian crossings, that he is through with jay walking for ever more.
How ever, on through the years he goes, continuing on in the same manner as before, and always making solemn promises that it will never happen again; that he is going to be more careful from now on, or other wise he is going to stay off of the streets all together or send himself to a nut house for specialist treatment. Finally is wife and children leave him and he can no longer get a job, and finally divorce happens. And every one feels what a great pity it is for a man as he once was, should end up the way he is, simply because of jay walking. Then he takes himself off to one mental ward after another to try to shake his head free from this jay walking habits. Alas, it is all to no avail, for on the next occasion he leaves the asylum he races right out in front of an ambulance answering a distress call, which breaks his neck and spine. To such as us, we would certainly name this man as crazy. And you may think this story as being very fictional as well. But it isn’t.
We have come across many a similar story, and some times even in our own lives. We can admit that if we were to swap the words “Jay Walking” for ‘Self Centeredness’ or for “Alcoholism “ or for “Drug Addiction” or for the “Satanic Occultism” or for “Wife Swapping Parties” or for “Nudists” or for “Streekers” or for “Free Masonry” or for “Roman Catholicism” or for “Babylonianism” or for “Evolutionism” or for “One World Government Controlism” or for “Global Warmingism” or for “Carbon Emissionism” or for “Crystal Ballism” or for “Witchcraftism” or for “Prostitutionism” or for “Compulsive Chatterboxism” or for “Perpetual Delinquency” or for “Day Dreamingism” or for “Supermanism” or for “World Supremecyism” or for “Being Married more than once” or for “Bikey Gangism” or for Child Sex Tradeism” and so on, the results would be the same. Have you ever wondered what the definition of insanity really means? Well it means this “Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result each time; and each time it was different, it was more painful and injurious, than on the previous occasions, to one self and others around them, every time.”
Who told me that, well a very good friend of mine told me that about fifteen years ago now; What then is Jay walking? Well it can take any number of forms such as “Free Lance Journalism Run Amok, or it is some times seen in others as “Running of at the mouth when in other company than your own,” and it can been seen in others and in our selves to be “Allowing the steering committee in your head run the whole show all of the time inside your head,” and it is seen in a person who is “Never making up their mind,” or in
“Allowing others to make your mind up for you,” or in “Telling others it’s their fault rather than you needing to accept things the way they are,” or in “Giving a person a job to do, and then telling them - I prefer it this way, but its up to you - and then getting angry when they have done it the way they have thought it best to do, anyway” or in “Always talking with friends about your hopeless love affair when it was over months ago or even years ago,” or in “Hoping others will step in for you and make him or her want to love you when he or she was never in love with you in the first place,” or in “Not wanting to learn how to read and write,” or in “Not wanting to have some one or others to be in authority, over you, even when they are, and have the right to be,” or in “Believing that intelligence is the corner stone of all knowledge and observation, and the rights to lead others - even when you don’t know a damned thing about it,’ or in “Being in a conversation just to hear your self speaking,” or in “Accepting that impressing people with your all of your knowledge and experience, from the age of one year old and upwards, is the answer to all of your problems,” or in “Denying that God actually exists,” or in “Denying that God actually created all things,” or in “Denying that God actually created us as mankind in His image and likeness,’ or in “Denying that God has the actual and ultimate power and authority over all of us, regardless of how smart we are,” or in “Denying that we need salvation as much as any one else in the world in Jesus Christ’s name,” or in “Making small and large technical and scientific discoveries, only to use them for immoral illegal gains over others,” or in “Creating other gods to worship rather than worship the one true God which art in heaven and creator of all of the universe, and us.” And so on.
Jay Walking is some thing we all fall folly to every now and then, including those who are actually thieves, murderers, rapists, slave traders, child stealers, fraud’s, wearing the wrong uniform, stealers of peoples identity, sodomites, feminists, arsonists, stealers of peoples property, real estate frauds, state tax frauds, land frauds, council frauds, commercial frauds, advertising frauds, radio frauds, medical frauds, cosmetic surgery frauds, xray frauds, dental frauds, fashion frauds, sporting frauds, conspiring to defraud, conspiring to enslave others, law frauds, legal tender and coinage frauds, shipping frauds, cooking frauds, function frauds, serving frauds, naming frauds, travel frauds, exploitation fraud, merchantile frauds, contract frauds, monetary exchange frauds, reports frauds, liars, gossip mongers, pointing the finger frauds, self esteem frauds, personal rights frauds, constitutional frauds, and so on.
Jay Walking is some thing inherent in all of us, that should we pursue one such ting, or many of them, we would be totally useless as a godly moral man or woman and child; so the thing to do is to check with your self and with a man who is established and ordained as a Minister of God’s Word and Sacraments where ever possible, or again preferably some man who is truly a Christian man, if the minister is not available or with some one who is identified as a closed mouth friend (preferably not a relative, wife, husband, or children), who will not be affected at any disclosures you might have of your self, as to the type of jay walking you are most commonly caught up in, and then place your self unreservedly under their sponsorship and mentorship from then onwards for at least the next seven years.
Jay Walking is every ones business, because it affects a lot of people where ever you are at that time, and when you return to that place you call home or house, or shack; and no matter what the circumstances Jay Walking is the business of the person who is continually guilty of never growing up enough with which to out grow this ill-fated malady, and a spiritual godly malady it really is. How ever and strange as this may seem at the time, Jay Walking is also cure-able. The punishment for ongoing Jay walking is always personal disaster. The cure is not always an easy pill to taste and take, but it works wonders when done unreservedly, to turn ones life and will and power and authority over to the care of God. Hope to See ya in church or in a meeting some time. I will keep on praying to God for you till then.
Sincerely, The Old Man.
KENNY
By – the Old Man – 9th September 2009.
Kenny was a Scottish lad who though he came from a nice enough home in the mid west of Scotland with brothers and sisters and both mum and dad, still happily married, he could not stay on the straight and narrow. As he grew up his tendency toward the brutal and the hard life was strewn with much sadness of heart and guilt of conscience. He took to the boose early in life as a means of being sociable and of making friends, but it soon became a must have demand in him, much like that of a mum in pregnancy who cannot help herself in that well known and profound pregnant state come to have those in built demands for cravings of every kind of foods and comforts and likes and at all odd times of the day and night; and as many a mother can attest to, she became very sensitive to any and all things around her. Kenny’s inner demands in a similar way, always lay dormant till he had that first drink. And when that first bit of alcohol passed by his lips his inner dormant condition was awakened again, and it did not cease with the first drink. It stayed awake till he passed out from excessive drinking, and then his body suffered from that excessive amount, and it took some times a week and some times a month to get over that well known unavoidable spree.
He was a tall man for a Scot, short black hair and deep blue eyes with an easy smile and friendly approach, but slim and wiry as well, and he had developed a liking for fighting and for hard work, too, with which he was quite famous for, and eventually by the time he was eighteen he had to leave his home land for better places. So he moved to Australia; and as usual all went well for a while and he secured good jobs over the years which payed him well, and the respect others had for him, grew, then came that day time when his some what uncontrollable personality took over once more and again he began getting in to trouble and then he would have that first drink. His life was pitted with romance and good works as well as those more damaging times, and those drinking sprees too. As with most people of his caliber he was thought well of and in the end pitied, for the sad hopeless and helpless person he was seen and known to be.
Soon he left off work and went to street fighting full time and made his living that way, which is the sad end of most of the men and women like him. And then it became a necessity to have those drinks for the brutal life he was living and could not stop himself from having. Hating himself for whom he had become, he went in search of those who might be able to understand him and perhaps help him, and even though he had tried every known human agency and treatment, he could not stop the downward progression of his life and the deterioration of his personality and manners and moral integrity.
I met up with him in the last fifteen years of his life through friends of mine, and he said that he had tried every thing from God to psychiatry to Alcoholics Anonymous, and nothing seemed to help; and although I have serious evidence that Alcoholics Anonymous works for the majority of Alcoholic men and women and kids, who end up there, nothing seemed to help such a sad case as Kenny. We became good friends under such conditions and many times he wanted to fight with me, and I stood my ground and showed him the physical and mental state he was in at that time; I never flinched and stood firmly in front of him as his friend. In time he admitted to me in private the very sordid details of his life from when he was ten onwards, and it was horrific, as far as what he had done to others is concerned, and of the hatred he had for himself and God.
I had medium to high hopes that maybe, maybe this time, with my help and that of his friends in A.A. that he would be able to over come his malady, as did his friends in A.A. and for a while all went well, but again, his alcoholic personality sent him down that well hewn path to another drink and again and again hospital trips and again back out on another drink.
I moved from Melbourne about one and half years ago now, and we kept in touch sporadically, and his friends would call me and let me know his latest where about’s and condition, as often as they knew it; but sadly as of a few weeks ago he died, in his flat with a total body shut down and his carer, found him a few days later. I was told about it last night, by a friend of his and mine, and my heart sank, and then to tears, I wept. No way could I have helped him more than I could have and still it was not good enough. His was that one percent that could not get honest with them selves nor could they hand them selves over to God completely. Even though he had told me every sordid detail of his past; and as often as he tried to live by God’s normal standards that we all have to live by, I knew it for what it was; He was telling me all of his stuff for shock value to see if I would cast him aside and punish him in even worse ways; he was being his own martyr, as a just reward for all of his sordid damaged filled past. He was not really sincere, neither did he come to see nor understand that such self disclosure under such conditions with me (or with a minister of God’s Church or with a closed mouth friend, or with another Christian like myself), has to be in the full recognition that God is the sovereign Lord and God of all creation, and could free him from such a bad past and give him a far better one with much contentment; sadly, such was the hardness of his heart toward God and fear of the unknown of what might happen if God did free him from his old past and bring him to repentance in the name of Jesus Christ; he was unable to allow himself in himself to want to turn to God to that necessary state of readiness and humbleness that necessitates God’s will to work in him from then onwards.
I will miss him dearly, as a friend and as a helpless and hopeless man. Many times I had wanted to set up a refuge for such hard cases, where by they could stay there for as long as they wanted and work for their keep and helped to keep away from the boose in any dimensions, and even though that could work for thirty plus years, and longer in some cases, I know that in the end that he would (as would those others of his ilk), eventually pick up that last and fatal drink and be dead soon there after. I will miss him dearly, as a friend and as a hopeless and helpless man.
You would have liked him too, for he was easy to like. His smile was often genuine, and his attempts often sincere. I will miss him dearly, as a friend and as a hopeless and helpless man. I am not able to pray to God for him any longer, but I do for his family and friends, for he is passed even that last chance. He is now dead and in the time we all have left before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to raise up and judge the quick and the dead, he will spend his eternal existence (like so many others), in hell and damnation.
Do you have to be an alkie to end up in the same end as he, No, of course not; all you need to be is a human being, who has hardened his self and or her self enough from the womb to the tomb, turning to all and every kind of false religion and conduct, to end up in the exact same place as my friend Kenny (hardness of heart and dead and buried awaiting that final resurrection and just and righteous judgement).
Good bye Kenny, Sincerely, The Old Man.

WHOSE A JONAH
Many a man was called a ‘Jonah’ in his time as were a lot of women too…in fact women were often called “sinkers” because of their ability and presence onboard ship to destroy the command and reputation of a ships captain amongst his crew where in the end the ship began to sink not only in morale but also in to depravity and lust for her, and for the captains position if he refused to share her with his crew. There by any man a women was seen to be more of a curse than a blessing while on board ship….smile I wonder if that’s still true today…ha,ha,ha,ha

A friend of long standing recently emailed me a large file containing some pictures and a lot of enlarged writing spaced far apart concerning the ideals of what things constitute the ‘MARKS OF FRIENDSHIP’, but in his initial comments he put this :anxiously awaiting your response to this; which surprised me a lot…then I opened his email and read his transcription…it was a very moving piece that caught me flat footed; but knowing him as I do, I soon realized what his worries are, especially regarding his life in the future. You see I am a Christian now, but we were friends along time before God had changed me around and had judged me and found me guilty of every sin under heaven, and had fully pardoned me and filled me with His Holy Ghost for these past seventeen years now. And my friend is still much the same as a sinner, unsaved and unrepentant. And we really like and respect each other regardless of these differences between us. And I also know he has been failing with bad health for this length of time as well, and has had some strange experiences which he cannot account for, and which he would call me up late at night at such times worried out of his head…and in time he would become calm once more and try to head my advice as to what he ought to be doing from now on regarding these strange events….but he has not done much in the way of turning to God nor to Jesus Christ, so far. So I sent him this reminder of what God says are the ‘TRUE MARKS OF A FRIEND’, perhaps you would like to know them as well?
Dear Mark, maybe it has been a long time since I last emailed you, or phoned you, about our friendship, but some where along the road of lives together, you went from a man I disliked very much to a friend. I don't know how that happened, or when and maybe you had some thing to do with it and may be you didn't. But it has happened to me for you, and I know that God had every thing to do with it. But a friend is some one who will lay down his life for his friends, whether they want him to or not

The Fight Has Gone Out Of Me - God never leaves a job undone is another way of saying it, but who would have guessed it would have happened to a bloke like him.
Billy looked around at his friends from the alleys and lane ways of the docklands of Australia’s worse docklands area in over one hundred years. He looked up at them with faint amusement, not really knowing what to say or do: Billy was the proclaimed leader of this rag tail, jerry built, glum lot. They came from every where and were numbered about one hundred of the worst type of thieves pick pockets, robbers, murderers, prostitutes, doll men, rapists and liars in Melbourne. If it was not nailed down or owned securely it was lifted any way they could get it. Crane Emery was a long necked wading sort of a fellow, tall and thin, with shoulder length untidy rusty brown hair, blue eyed devil. He was Billy double man, and every one could rely absolutely on him for anything dealing with information from any source. Cow-leech Miller had spent most of his time on the farms of out back New South Wales as did his parents before him, but with his restless ways he wondered into crime just as he finished his doctorate degree in cow husbandry. His was a case of mistaken identity, over the chief surgeons daughter. So he fled the city life and ended up in Billy’s gang and became a very dangerous man indeed. Crambo Watson was Billy’s woman from the moment he found her abandoned on the pier at West Swanson dock ten years earlier (she was just eleven years old at the time). She had a nack of hearing a word or a name of a city and straight away she could put a tune or rhyme to it with in seconds, but she also helped get a lot of young girls for the gangs boys to be their women as well. And in turn they became great pick pockets and forgers. Billy himself was an educated young man before he took to crime due to a severe streak of hatred against God and anything to do with that God thing. He had been a good fitter and turner when a fight with his foreman and boss placed him in front of the police and the courts at twenty one, in which he had stabbed them almost to death in what he described as self defence: But he had already sized them up for a fight the year before because they were self professing Christians and he hated any one connected with God. The judges agreed with the eye witness reports that he had instigated every thing over a long period of time and was sentenced eleven years prison for attempted murder. When he came out he went to work on the docks and was immediately received into their midst readily enough and soon he had seen the advantages of setting up a ring of ‘Lifters” from the docks and from there it was not long before other crimes were on the cards for the lot of them. He was known for putting on a good ‘Foy’ for his gang after a rich haul had netted them thousands of dollars a Lift. Over the years he was seldom caught and always had an alibi for where he was on each occasion of a Lift

The Six Week Diet: If you can handle it...smile.
Like any well thought out dietary plan there is a lot to consider as to what the over out comes do you want to have for your self; ie: do you want to lose weight off of your stomach, or your thighs, or your waist or off of you chest and so on. And depending on the type of diet such as living on frogs from now on; for there is no such thing these days as a half measure, either it is all or it is nothing doing. And there is no place on this earth or in the universe where ever we travel to, that will not require us to go on some sort of a diet. And yet there are those professionals in the dietary business that say that you can eat all you want and still take off of the calories, and become the real you. Which is after all, all you’ve ever wanted to be isn’t it….smile

on I will be a good boy, I promise
Compelled Christian
www.compelledchristian.com
With this man Mr.Dan Proop, I have checked his web site, that you made mention of, and it is not what I would normally want to associate myself with.
Mind you though, I am just as human as anyone else, when it comes to being abstract and rebellious against myself and God; although that does not happen as often as it used to do, and I thank God for that, too; but as a doctrinally sound Protestant Reformed Christian Man, I tend to stick to what I am told not to do according to as God has ordained in His Ten Commandments; For example :Thou shalt make any graven images, from anything of anything that is in heaven nor in the sea that resembles anything to do with heaven, including God, the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.
So this type of depiction by Mr. Dan Proop is very wrong in deed. For example, I went to see the movie made by Mel Gidson called "The Passion" and it described some of the biblical accounts surrounding Jesus the Christ (but not as the biblical account of how he the one and only Messiah and only Justifier and only Mediator of all of His predestinated and effectually called chosen people.
I half expected to see a well docummented biblical account,and what I got was alot of Roman Catholic doctrinal work surrounding their sinful idea of the Virgin Mary. And with in the first five minutes of its screening I was so distressed and angry that it was just a mock up and lies about the events from the biblical account, that when it was over, I went and demanded for my money back and got it fully refunded.
So this pictorial of a modern day looking Jesus showing his nakedness, by this Mr. Dan Proops, is just as disgusting to me.
Just as it says in God's Ten Commandments "Thou shalt not covet thy nerighbours son, nor his daughter, nor his wife, nor his manservant, nor his maid servant, nor anything that is thy neighbours; including his nakedness."
And if you read the Authorised King James Bible, in the book of Deuteronomy from chapters fourteen to twenty five, you will see what I mean,and what God says about this sort of thing, regarding uncovering thy neighbours nakednes, and any one elses nakedness.
It is never too difficult to day to see how we (as totally fallen mankind) want to go backwards to an often thought of nastalgia and the Renaissence type of era. And we do it simply because we are totally fallen human beings in the very depths of our seed which produces our nature.
It is in our seed that produces our revulsion of God and want to invent any other kind of logic and theories of an evolution that created us, rather than taking the truth on the chin like a good grown up ought to be able to do. For we were created by God who created all things. Like it or not.
And He and HIs Word, is to be the only necessary authority over our consciences day by day, and night by night. But do we all agree with that type of biblical logic on a daily basis all over the world? No, of course not. But the truth is, we are to. For example when God rested on the seventh day and hallowed it, He also hallowed it for every one in the world for all eternity. So that mankind was to have at least one day off, in which to rest and to worship Him and be under the preaching of His Word from generation to generation.
But do we all believe in this biblical account of His Word? of course not.
And with this type of pictorial depiction of Jesus, I have to ask myself, would I have it hanging in my home...or on my dash board in my car, or truck and so on, No, of course not. Nor would I have anything that depicts the figure of Jesus in anyway shape or form, not even of so called angels in heaven, nor the virgin mary, and so on. None of that type of thing is to be in our homes,nor purses, nor wallets, nor cars, nor photo-abums, and so on, but do we all belive in God's Word on that matter, No, of course not.
Well John I thank you for your question and I hope I have answered it accordingly to your satisfaction.
Anyway have a great day today.
Sincerely The Old Man...
