The Election Lessons

Australia’s election result was epitomised by the shameful, targeted defeat of a previous Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, who had become the prime target for his disbelief of man’s responsibility for global warming, and his biblical stance against gay marriage.

Tony Abbott is a rare occurrence among politicians – an honourable man, whose strong leadership made our borders secure, when around the world they are falling. He lives his life  by firm Christian principles, which the duplicitous socialist left 5th columns such as Get Up, abhor, for they hate morality and conservative Christian values, and it has become fashionable to follow them. So, he paid the price for the victory of the silent majority, because the poisonous left spent their time and effort on bringing him down, rather than defending their socialist policies which would have ruined the economy.

What is most disturbing about this  is that the claim that the global warming  is man made is totally false, as are the claims that 97% of scientific consensus backs up man’s responsibility. This figure stems from a survey of peer reviewed science papers conducted by John Cook, a professor at George Mason University in the US.

But actually,  only 34% of the papers  stated a position on the CAUSE          of global warming, and only 33%  (97% of 34%)  blamed humans as the cause.

So that means that in truth,  only one third of scientists lay the blame on man’s activities, two thirds reject that, but how many of those deceived youngsters realise that? The majority of scientists then, recognise that changes in the world’s climate  are quite natural, and have repeatedly occurred.

Common sense also shows that burning coal, for example, only releases carbon dioxide that was converted from the atmosphere by pants and trees long ago.. It only puts backing the atmosphere what came out when the earth was warmer, when all those tees grew, and the earth did not come to an end then, nor will it now.

The prophecies in the Bible tell that this is true, picturing a time in the future when civilisation returns to a truly greener way of life. Isaiah 30: 23-25, ‘Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures. The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder that has been winnowed with the shovel and pitchfork. And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Isaiah 35:1-2, 6-7, ‘The wilderness and the land will be glad;  the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.  It will bloom abundantly and even rejoice with joy and singing.  The glory of Lebanon will be given it. Then the lame will leap like a deer and the mute tongue will shout for joy.  For waters will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. The parched ground will become a pool, the thirsty land springs of water.  In the haunt where jackals once lay, there will be grass and reeds and papyrus.

So, thanks Tony. You were the sacrifice which brought rescue from certain damage to Australia from the deceptive left.

 

 

 

 

 

Satan’s New Clothes

Have you sometimes felt that we have entered into a different world where there are no absolutes any more, just shifting sands with no bedrock upon which we can stand firm? Or is it just because I have lived a long timed can remember a world where there was right and wrong,  good and evil, where common sense and reality prevailed over dreams,  and  fanciful wishes were just that, dreams best left behind once we awoke.

Nowadays, it seems more and more people live an Alice in wonderland existence  denying even that they are male or female despite the evidence, and demanding the right to be what they are not, and woe betide anyone who dare state the obvious when the drawbacks appear. One woman in Britain who did just that, on line, was quickly arrested in her own home just recently, for refusing to play along with such fantasy .

All the indications are that if Labour wins the coming election, it will become a ‘Hate Crime’ here, to state publicly that you believe the Bible, because of such verses as Romans 1:24, 26-27, ‘Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.’ NIV.

We have already seen marriage and the natural family successfully attacked, so now the left has moved on to thought, speech and religion, and even our children are being brainwashed at school to accept this bizarre sexual juggernaut which threatens the stability of society.

Israel Folau may have broken his contract but he was right to stand up for his beliefs, and to speak out against such evil. In the end we would be held in a tyranny of evil if we did not speak out, and the only winner would be its source, Satan the Devil.

Take Care Australia

It is a tragedy for Venezuela that when President Maduro was about to leave, Russia persuaded him to cling on. Its people are starving, inflation is rampant, and basic medical supplies do not exist. Hugo Chavez, corruption , oppression and economic ignorance drove this oil rich nation into the ground.

But we can learn from those who still support Maduro, whose evil policies to avoid.   They are Vladimir Putin, Communist Cuba, and the source of most of the world’s terrorism, Iran. There are those in the West who backed this evil regime too.

British Labour leader Jeremy Corbin backed Chavez, as did former ‘Greens’ leader Bob Brown in Australia , who encouraged  the following of “a different and better way…”

Lets beware these left wing leaders who would lead their gullible young followers down the path to ruin.

It is significant that their policies are based upon atheist communism, the rejection of God’s Commandments and Laws. Many years ago the ancient Jews turned away from their God, and the result was what we see today in Venezuela, and what we are about to see here if Labour gets its way, when quoting from the Bible will bring imprisonment.

Isaiah 3:1-9, New Living Translation

‘The Lord, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, will take away from Jerusalem and Judah everything they depend on: every bit of bread and every drop of water, all their heroes and soldiers, judges and prophets, fortune-tellers and elders, army officers and high officials, advisers, skilled sorcerers, and astrologers. I will make boys their leaders, and toddlers their rulers. People will oppress each other— man against man, neighbor against neighbor.  Young people will insult their elders, and vulgar people will sneer at the honourable. In those days a man will say to his brother, “Since you have a coat, you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of ruins!” But he will reply, “No! I can’t help. I don’t have any extra food or clothes. Don’t put me in charge!” For Jerusalem will stumble, and Judah will fall, because they speak out against the LORD and refuse to obey him. They provoke him to his face. The very look on their faces gives them away. They display their sin like the people of Sodom and don’t even try to hide it. They are doomed! They have brought destruction upon themselves.’

 

 

Change Good into Evil?

Now it is becoming the norm for those with Christian belief to have to apologise or face the sack because their Biblical beliefs are no longer politically correct. We see it more and more in sport and in services where the CEO is homosexual.

We also see it where those who recognise that Islam is a grave danger to world peace because of the Koran’s violent instructions which inspire the Jihadis, now find themselves persecuted for their right to express that danger.

This is a blatant attack by the atheist left upon Christianity and free speech which must be defended by all freedom loving people and parties. The left’s technique is to attach ‘phobia’  to the word homosexual and Islam, but it is not hatred of those people, but what some of them do, which breaks God’s Laws, ie.  sodomy  or murder.

Thus  the left attempts to change evil into good through their political correctness. Isaiah 5:20, ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.’  Berean Study Bible.

What should Christians do in response? Express your righteous indignation by writing to a newspaper in your country and voice your beliefs while you can, or your right to do so may soon disappear!

Waken Up Australia!

The recent attack on  Christians in Sri Lanka is but one of many constantly taking place around the world, especially in the Middle East, where now many Christians  have fled. Behind each and every attack lies Islam, and our politicians stick their heads in the sand. It is not an accident that the only free, stable, democratic country in the sea of violence there, is the one which is constantly attacked in our universities and in our left wing media,  Israel.

We don’t see Islamic Presidents or ayatollahs doing a Jacinda  Ardern public penance on behalf of their national faith though , do we? Why are such facts totally ignored by our Western leaders, except sometimes President Trump,  for most of them are too busy apologising for any offence to Muslims to have time to differentiate between the many Islamic refugees and the Christians driven from their homes, despite the proven danger of Islamic immigration.

Indeed, in many ‘multicultural’ Western nations, legislation is being passed which will prohibit any recognition that Islam is responsible for most of the world’s violence. Such a suggestion would then become  ‘Hate Speech’ and in Britain one politician has already been arrested after making a speech which quoted  Winston Churchill’s observations of the effects of Islam  on society:    “No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith”,  wrote Churchill.

The arrested politician later commented on the lack of free speech in Britain, “to show the rest of the world how utterly sunk this poor old country of Britain is today,”  he said.

It is acknowledged that Australia walks the same path as Britain, but just a few years later; however what is not acknowledged is the very real danger to theWest of refusing to even discuss this subject. As a result,  it is only a matter of time before the next attack upon Australians, and we will only have ourselves to blame for electing politicians more concerned with apologising than protecting the nation.

Isaiah 9:16  ‘For the leaders of the people have misled them. They have led them down the path of destruction.’  NLT.

The End of Truth and Justice

Truth and justice are disappearing from our land under a grotesque hate campaign from the activist left supported by a fifth column  in our national broadcaster the ABC and our universities, and it is being paid for by our taxes!

Their weapon is political correctness, which is driven by the atheistic left wing, and their target is our Western Christian heritage. They have no qualms about using lies and misleading information to attack any conservative politicians whose views are not ‘progressive’, ie. those based upon traditional Christian values.

They are successfully undermining academic freedom of speech and thought in our universities, controlling  the discussion  and education on topics such as  global warming, Western Civilisation, aboriginal affairs , our history, –  all have to be according to their dogma, if they are allowed to be taught or heard.

Their power is such that students, and indeed listeners to the ABC and SBS are continually fed bias information which provides a false and often perverse view of society and morality.  News and current affairs programs are often stacked with left wing  panellists and presenters, and supposedly independent activist groups such as  ‘Get Up’ push their left leaning propaganda.

You only have look at one of our ex- Prime Ministers who actually had some genuine moral standards, and the backbone to back them uo – Tony Abbott, to whom we owe our secure borders, to see how successful they have been at character assassination, in the hope of driving him from parliament.

Why is this happening in Western countries such as Australia? Because when we reject  the eternal moral standards intrinsic in the 10 Commandments, we are left standing on the shifting sands of political correctness. Our firm foundation is lost, soon good and evil are reversed, and the innocent become guilty.

You are seeing it happen before your eyes throughout the West – the very nations God chose to disseminate His Laws to the nations, way back at the time of Abraham, and we only have ourselves to blame!

“How terrible it will be for those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute what is bitter for what is sweet and what is sweet for what is bitter!” ………      “those who make people sin with words, those who lay traps for judges, those who, without any reason, deny justice to people who are in the right.”                  Isaiah 5:20 and Isaiah 29:21.

Israel Folau’s Persecution

The controversial comments made by the Australian Football League celebrity have stirred up  a hornet’s nest of politically correct idolaters,  incandescent in their fury that anyone should dare speak out about their religious beliefs!

We should note that the man was simply responding to a question asked of him on social media, and he must have realised that in his position, it would go viral and cause him problems which he has experienced before.

The fact that Israel has the courage to put his beliefs before his huge income, and it is the protesters who have the problem, not Folau, for he has said that God rather than the AFL has the priority in his life, and he is obviously prepared to pay the penalty.  Jesus said: ‘If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.’ John15:19-20. Sadly it seems that free speech is no longer so free.

OK, so he could have framed his responce more diplomatically, and more accurately, for biblically  he should have said ‘Lake of Fire’ rather than ‘Hell’ but it adds up to much the same thing. If sinners do not repent, and we all sin, the Bible states that is our fate. Tough.

We all have to choose, and the Bible tells us what is right and what is wrong, so in the end, it is the protesters who are making the big mistake. Folau is not a fanatic. He just recognises that God’s word does not change with political correctness.It still says that the wages of sin is eternal death, unless we repent.

No More Politicians

Around the world politicians are seen as self- interested elites corrupted by greed, political correctness and a desire to be part of a global caste which lives in a bubble isolated from , as Hillary put it, ‘the deplorables’. There are but a few exceptions who look for a conviction politician to lead them back to their true role as representatives of the people.

That they can stray so far from that role is summed up in the British Parliament where from day one of the Brexit fiasco the majority of politicians insisted that they knew better than the people, and refused to carry out their voted instructions, and have brought about  the epic confusion that has most Britons in despair.

For this to occur in the mother of all parliaments is a signal that good government will never be attained by our own choice. Many years ago a crusty old history teacher told his 6th form in a Civics lesson that the only good form of government is that of a benevolent despot!

Later I came to realise that he was correct. The world’s governments are in for a big change. First the world will fall to a powerful dictatorship under a Biblically prophesied ‘Beast’.  This will, after Armageddon,  be replaced by a system of government which will bring true peace, prosperity and equality to nations worldwide.

It will be the government  of an Eternal Benevolent Despot, who will need  no politicians, for He is training a group who will share in that worldwide government with Him, who fully understand that their role is to serve, just as their Example did. That Example is Jesus Christ, and his Kingdom will spread from Jerusalem to cover the whole world.

Isaiah 2:3-4, ”And many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,  to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.”

Satan’s Identity Politics

Now we have had chance to digest the horrific Christchurch shooting,  it has become clear that the terrorist’s goal was to bring about a reaction against ‘white terrorism’ in the hope that whites would recognise the hatred of the Left, which was the aim of Pauline Hanson’s motion in the Senate last year, affirming that, “It’s OK to be white.”

It was illuminating then to see the gullibility of the Senators, who after indignantly flaunting their political correctness, voted it down!

Her point was made by the simple truth of her short motion. We would then see the self hatred of the Leftist Identity Politics, for being white is just one politically correct notion apparent in programs such as the ABC Radio National’s Minefield episode “Wrong to be White”, where deluded academics from Sydney University and Deakin University endorsed the depreciation of “whiteness”.  If it were blackness, they would have been sacked and run out of town!

Perhaps not many people would have recognised her action  for what it revealed, but she was making a brave point. The West is on all sides being attacked by atheist left wing activists determined to  bring down the destruction of Western Christian civilisation, the unknowing dupes of Satan the Devil.

‘But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.’  2 Corinthians 11:3  ‘so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.’  2 Corinthians 2:11.

No Right of Return

Australian is now faced with Islamic State women such as Zehra Duman wanting  to return to Australia, like many others now pleading  to return to the West, to its relative peace and prosperity which, in the good times for IS, they rejected in favour of the evil,  harshness and beheading of the Caliphate.

Of course the bleeding hearts would have them and their murderous husbands back amongst us, but should they?

When they went, they despised  our Christian derived culture with its Western values and were eager to join the expanding Caliphate, where they could expect respect, power and dominion over the defeated and abused populations. Have they changed their beliefs? Not at all. They will never renounce that which inspires them.

Last year an Australian/American consultation found that 3 things  made these terrorists interconnected, worldwide: “The flow of foreign fighters, the flow of resources, and their message.”

These are the connective tissue of terrorism, which the consultation said would need to be cut. ‘Resources’  include all those who make a contribution to the social and idealogical infrastructure of IS .

Their husbands, if not dead, are still largely in jail but would love to return. Their wives and children are their supporting resources, who, by their presence in the war zone with IS, were also active in a war against Australia and Western values. Their message has not changed and we should remember  that for years we had to endure the charade that their bombing, shooting and killing inflicted upon us had nothing to do with their message.

What was their message? In politically correct terms it is Islamism. In truth it is the Koran, and if you were to read it you would find it is a book of great contradictions. The Jihadis  choose to follow its very many violent instructions about killing disbelievers in Allah. “Moderate” Muslims choose to ignore them, and follow its good points. But by their support of the religion, and their numbers,  they are part of the supporting resources mentioned.

God want all of us to come to repentance. However, when Muslims bow before Jesus Christ on Judgement Day, they should  remember that they were warned by the Koran, in Surah 14:22, ” Satan  will [then] say, ‘God gave you a true promise. [In the Bible] I too made promises [In the Koran] but they were false ones: I had no power over you except to call you, and you responded to my call,  so do not blame me blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I reject the way you associated  me with God before. For wrongdoers there must be a Grievous Penalty.” 

Only if they were genuinely repentant, which means turning from Islam, should they be allowed to return return to face whatever punishment they deserve.
