Replace the Alphabet Soup with Two Letters

It is time for the people that follow truth to push back against those that are determined  to replace reality.  All the alphabet people fall into one category, sexual immorality.  LGB is homosexuality.  T is for the denial of sexual biology that has not changed since creation.  Q is an outgrowth of homosexuality.  Last month the United Nations recommends that the behavior of sex with minors should be added to the list.  The letter P  should be added to the list but the sound of the word pedophile is uncomfortable, (the desire to have sex with a five year old for example) so three letters will have to be added to disguise the agenda.  MAPS or Minor Attracted Persons will replace pedophilia.   LGBTQIA+ and eventually MAPS will comprise the new and improved alphabet soup and the MAPS category is pure evil.

So let’s make this easier.  Let’s reduce all of these letter labels to just two. SI, for Sexual Immorality. SI represents all of the categories and may include new ones as they are added to assist us in simplifying conversation.  

Why the escalation of all of this in less than forty years?  This was predicted two thousand years ago:

“God’s angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth.  But the basic reality of God is plain enough.  Open your eyes and there it is.  By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being.  So nobody has a good excuse.  What happened is this: people knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives.  They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life.  They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

So God said, in effect, “If that’s what you want, that’s what you get.”  It wasn’t long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out.  And all this because they traded the true God for fake gods, and worshipped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us.  Oh, yes!

Worse followed.  Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either, women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men.  Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust no love, godless and loveless wretches.

Since they didn’t’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose  And then all hell broke loose; rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing.  They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating.  look at them: mean spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags!  They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives.  They ditch their parents when they get in the way.  Stupid, slimy cruel, cold-blooded.  And it’s not as though they don’t know better.  They know perfectly well they’re spitting in God’s face.  And they don’t care—worse they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!

No-one is getting  by with anything.  Every refusal and avoidance of God adds fuel to the fire.  The day is coming when it’s going to blaze hot and high, God’s fiery and righteous judgment.  Make no mistake: in the end you get what is coming—real life for those who work on God’s side, but to those who insist on getting their own way and the path of least resistance, Fire!”  Romans 1:18-32, 2:5-8

Don’t lose hope.  Truth will always prevail.  SI is one of the signs. It won’t be long now.

TRUTH DOESN’T NEED TO RIOT

TRUTH doesn’t need to riot, that’s why Jesus is so effective.  Here it is Easter week.  We remember and celebrate that the God of the Creation visited this planet in human form,  was brutally murdered, but then miraculously rose from the dead thereby bringing hope to all mankind. Easter Sunday morning is every human’s hope for eternity.

Recalling the Holy Weekend. On Friday there were hundreds of angry people gathered in the courtyard of the Roman Governor of Jerusalem making false accusations, yelling, mocking, inciting violence and calling for the death of one man.  He stood there quietly without responding to the lies and anger and the quieter he was ,the more the anger increased.  He posed no threat to anyone physically. However, his reputation was well known and growing.  He posed a threat.  He was upsetting the status quo and the mob wanted nothing to do with a man who claimed to be God.  That could just not be.  Every individual man or woman must have control of their own lives and destiny.  This man He posed must be eliminated.  Not with dialogue or discussion, but with violence.

This Easter Week in this country Trump is leading the news.  The mobs have gathered in the courtyard where there are accusations, false charges, and calls for removal because the man represents a threat to this current cultures belief that man is his own god. It’s not Trump. It is anyone that believes or represents the truth that God is in control and the final say in this world. Yes, the same God that stood in that courtyard 2000 years ago.  Every follower in this country and by default Trump poses a threat to mans rebellion.  The truth doesn’t breed violence and anger.  It is the bullies that have no answer  for Jesus that incite anger and violence. If opponents will not bend to their will then violence and intimidation  are the last means available to secure and maintain control.  The frustration for the bullies is the non-compliant. Christians and truth followers don’t succumb to threats and intimidation for the simple reason that truth has no fear.  In the end, truth will prevail.  It has since the creation and will continue until the King’s return.

Evil is panicking.  Since no-one knows when the Lord will return, there is an all out effort to accelerate the destruction of man.  Trump was in the way for a brief time politically and with his  representation of truth he joins the Christians in being the greatest threat and opposition to evil’s agenda. The preparation for the destruction of America that began one hundred years ago is playing out in real time.  Every phase of this country is collapsing and the final blow will be violence against those that stand in the way. It will not be truth that is violent.  It will be those incited by evil that must eliminate the opposition.  They are coming with anger, riots, intimidation and control.  

Remember the courtyard? Followers don’t need to respond with violent words or deeds.  The truth does not need that.  Jesus was quiet in the courtyard, but did not back down.  He said a few times, “If you think they hated me, just wait, they will hate you even more because of me.”  

Celebrate Easter with reverence, humility, and grace.  Do not return anger with anger…and stand.  Stand with the assurance Truth will reign.

The Pieces are Falling in Place

I enjoy jigsaw puzzles.  You build the frame and then slowly, methodically you find the colors that match and the shapes that match and the pieces begin to form a picture.  It progresses slowly but as you get toward the end, the pace quickens and the last 20 minutes it is as if the pieces almost fall into place by themselves.  I love how it works.

Look what has happened in the world in the last two months, in the last two weeks for heavens’s sake.  The Chinese have brokered an alliance with their long time ideological brothers.  Ping told Putin this week that it has been coming for a hundred years and now it is here.  An alliance of the two most nuclear capable powers in the world, with ideology based on atheism and evil joined with one goal in mind, world dominance.

The Chinese with the assistance of Joe Biden and the left have guaranteed the collapse of the United States economically,  militarily, culturally. For them the timeline for the fall may be in the next 20 months without firing a shot.  The Chinese have also brokered a deal between two ideological enemies in the middle east in the last two months  The Saudis and the Iranians, enemies on principle are now coming together with the assistance of the Chinese and the Russians.  The enormous army of the east, and the enormous army of the north have been joined by the riches ant most lethal powers of the middle east.

See what’s happening?  The puzzle pieces are coming together very quickly and falling into place right before our eyes.  With what end in mind?  Israel.  With the United States out to the way, the great army of the east, and the great army of the north allied with the lifelong enemies of Israel are ready to make their move.  This is not about globalization of common ideas.  This is not about making a better world for all of earth’s inhabitants.  This is about evil.  Everything is a pawn in the hands of evil. 

Conventional wisdom has been that signs are there but this will not happen in the near future.  However, can we believe that the direction the world can be reversed?  All the final pieces are nearly in place and the deception becoming clearer in the final pieces  When you make a puzzle the last pieces to finish the picture are always the dark ones  The puzzle is nearly complete and you can see the image clearly, but there are thirty or forty pieces that are so dark finishing it is the most difficult part of the process. You want to complete it and you can see it, and then they start falling into place as the options narrow to completion.

Do you see it?  Israel is now surrounded.  The United States is finished.  There is a global religion that says the earth will end in a few years if we don’t all come together to stop it and yet the biggest players in the game won’t join the new religion.  Dark powers are coalescing and evil is about to strike.  Evil doesn’t care about China.  Evil doesn’t care about Russian or the Middle East, or global warming, or bogus pandemics.  It only cares about death and destruction of one thing.  Israel.  The end is within sight.  The powers evil is organizing are coming together in literal days.  You can feel the desperation growing around the globe.  When evil pulls the trigger it will happen very quickly and there will the no time for response, or course change, or survival.  Israel, must die.

We know this time is coming.  We have known this for thousands of years.  We just never believed the pieces would come together so quickly and in our lifetime.  It is scary.  It is upsetting.  It is inevitable.  The time for believing that we can turn this around is over.  The idea that things can return to normal, or advance to a new order are through.   Instead, it is time to look to the heavens from whence comes our hope.

“But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.  Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, on account of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!  But according to His promise we are looking for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”  2 Peter 3:10-13

And I looked and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him on hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the Name of His fFather written on their foreheads.  Rev. 14:1

The sun will fade out, moon cloud over, stars fall out of the sky, cosmic powers tremble. Then the arrival of the Son of Man! It will fill the skies—no one will miss it.  Unready people all over the world, outsiders to the splendor and power, will raise a huge lament as they watch the Son of Man blazing out of heaven.  At that same moment he’ll dispatch his angels with a trumpet blast summons, pulling in God’s chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole.

     Take a lesson from the fig tree.  From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner.  So it is with you: When you see all these things, you’ll know He’s at the door.  Don’t take this lightly, I’m not just saying this form some future generation, but for all of you.  This age continues until all these things take place.  Sky and earth will wear out;My words won’t wear out.

   But the  exact day and hour?  No one knows that, not even heaven’s angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows. The arrival of the Son of Man will take place in times like Noah’s.  Before the great flood everyone was carryon on as usual, having a good time right up to the day Noah boarded the ark.  They know nothing—until the flood hit and swept everything away.  The Son of Man’s arrival will new like that:  Tow men will be working in th field—one will be taken, one left behind; two women will be grinding at the mill—one will be taken, one left behind.  So stay awake, alert. You have no idea what day your Master will show up.”  Matthew 24 29-42

The picture is in view. The final pieces are coming together and the picture is frightening.  But do not lose hope, Israel will not fall.  The King will not allow it.  Many of us will die in the chaos, but that’s not the end.  Hold onto Hope.  The King will return and He will take us home.

The Vladamirs are Colluding

I enjoy reading and connecting dots.  Some people call it making up conspiracy theories.  I am just an old PE teacher so I don’t qualify for the elite level thinker category.  Nevertheless, I enjoy speculating about what I believe and how it applies to the world around us.  It’s fun to put it on paper as well.

I believe that most people would agree that the Ukraine is in the top five most corrupt countries in the world.  It was part of the former atheistic communist Soviet Union, so the Ukraine worldview has nothing to do with freedom or democracy.  It is a nation governed by atheistic naturalists hell bent on controlling the people with fear and intimidation. Ukraine is in lock step with Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, Cuba and any other autocratic regime that acquiesces to a worldview of tyranny and total government control. 

So the question is, what in the world do we as a country have in common with Ukraine, and why are we sending billions of dollars to them without any accountability?  What is in our interest to provide more money to Ukraine than we do to our own Homeland Security budget?

Does anyone believe that Vladimir Zalensky can be trusted?  I posit that the two Vladimirs are working together.  I know it appears to make no sense on the surface, but step back a bit and ponder.  In order for globalists to succeed, the United States must be eliminated as the world  power.  The Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, have no interest in globalism ie., China’s record on ‘Global Warming”.  The communists also know that world domination is out of reach if they cannot eliminate the nuclear threats of the United States and Israel.  How then, can these nations eliminate the roadblocks to world wide tyranny?  Remove the US and Israel.

Presently, the United States is rapidly declining after 100 years of atheistic indoctrination in naturalistic science, psychology, and economics.  Culturally, the country is falling faster than ever in its history.  Along comes an opportunity for Communism (Russian/China) to further degrade and weaken the United States.  Recognizing that the present leadership is ideologically consistent with marxist and communist ideas and methods of reform, this is the right moment to accelerate the collapse.  Confusion and chaos, lead to regime change.  300,000 people we know nothing about have walked into the country unabated with no end in sight. The goal, destabilization of the economic infrastructure.  Law enforcement is targeted (BLM, Antifa, democratic part), to be replaced with a federalized law enforcement model.  

One year ago Russia invades the Ukraine.  Why? To restore the land to mother Russia? Why sacrifice over 100,000 troops, destroy the infrastructure of a country you would then have to restore with money you do not possess?  The Russian invasion is a distraction.  The two Vladimirs are colluding to bankrupt and weaken the United States both economically and militarily.  They are striking while the iron is hot. The United States is descending into chaos of its own making.  It is the moment to cripple it with no ability to retreat or recover.  Why wouldn’t Zalenskiy sign on to such a plan?  He is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Notice, there is no video or media coverage of the war in Ukraine.  Viet Nam was on TV every night chronicling the death and destruction of an unpopular war.  Why are we not seeing images of the destruction in Ukraine?  Why will this war drag on until there is no turning back? And how do you suppose the Chinese are viewing all of this?  When will they seize the moment and invade Taiwan, and openly lend their support to the Russians?  When will the Ukraine “surrender” to the Russians and rejoin mother Russia?  I think very soon.

The goal?  Eliminate the United States and its influence and place in the world as the supreme economic and military power.    Eliminate the United States as a deterrent to world domination by atheistic, communist tyranny.  When that happens, the Ukrainians will join with the Russians, who will join with the Chinese, North Koreans, Pakistanis, and for good measure enlist the Muslim coalition of tyrannical theocracies to eliminate all countries that adhere to freedom and liberty, and most important any reference or allegiance to a being outside of man.  

The end of the age is right in front of our eyes, unfolding like never before.  Once the United States is eliminated, the powers will advance on Israel.  It’s right there in plain sight.  

Call me crazy.  The King is standing just outside the door.  And He is just about to turn the handle.  Be ready.

The Abusers uncovered…For the moment

Last Friday, August 19, 2022 Tucker Carlson questioned a leader in the LGBTQ community about the move to change the term pedophile to Minor Attracted Persons.  I questioned last week how long it would take before the MAP community came out alarmed about the degradation of the culture with a new aberrant behavior. In just a few days  new stories emerged about the onslaught of child sexual abuse advocates.

 August 25, 2022 headline,

 “DC Children’s Hospital offered ‘gender affirming’ hysterectomies for kids and deleted webpage reveal”. 

https://www.foxnews.com/us/dc-childrens-hospital-offered-gender-affirming-hysterectomies-kids-audio-deleted-webpage-reveal

An archived webpage form August 18, 2022 on Children’s National Hospital’s website listed ‘Gender-affirming’ medical care and gender affirming hysterectomies among services offered for “patients  between the ages of 0-21” through the hospital’s gynecology program.”  In addition Boston Children’s Hospital is facing a wave of backlash over its Center for Gender Surgery that performs mastectomies on teenagers as young as 15 as well as since-deleted wording on the hospital’s website that claimed teens as young as 17 can get vaginoplasties.” When confronted this week, the hospital took down the section on the website and claimed that it “was a flaw in the design of our website.”  RIght.

Advocating, supporting, and providing supervised child sexual abuse right out in the open without any fear. Thankfully, Tucker Carlson and others sounded the alarm and for the moment the Hospital is backpedaling to avoid the negative press coverage.

August  26, 2022 headline:

“UW declined to correct misleading info on puberty blocker study after fawning media coverage”

Pull Quote:

     “The study’s publication was accompanied by a glowing press release highlighting that “gender-affirming care…dramatically reduces” depression in teenage transgender patients calling such care “lifesaving.”  https://www.foxnews.com/us/uw-declined-correct-misleading-info-puberty-blocker-study-fawning-media-coverage.

Two organizations caught lying in the same week.  The onslaught is overwhelming.  What will happen?  Nothing.  The Transgender activist movement will continue lying and desensitizing the culture until child sexual abuse in the name of “gender affirming care” becomes the norm.  The normalization of perversion.

 The frustration for all of us that don’t have large platforms is to not lose heart in influencing our communities with truth.  We are just ones of the masses. However, in our neighborhoods and little corners of the country we can one by one sound the alarm, advocate for truth, and influence those we interact with everyday.  We can speak out, we can write, we can share others writings and we can believe.  Keep the faith.

The Horses are out of the barn…No going back…

The left is aggressively advocating for the sexual mutilation of children.  Will the voices of opposition in the leadership ranks of this country push back?  The last 50 years  demonstrates that the elites in leadership will not.  They will cowardly acquiesce to the mob and in a short time the worst kind of sexual abuse to children will become status quo.

This week Tucker Carlson was sounding the alarm as he should against the Nazi like behavior experimenting on children with hormones and transitioning surgery because adolescents want something they can’t have or get permission for themselves.  The irony is that Tucker chose a leader in the LGBTQ+ community to be a spokesperson against the evil practice.  I am puzzled as to whether Tucker recognized the irony himself.  

Fifty years ago now the left aggressively promoted homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.  The majority of the country opposed the idea and yet the proponents insisted on foisting  the practice on the country as acceptable behavior.  Once the horse is out of the barn, the saying goes, there is no going back.  Tucker’s guest called the practice of gender transitioning appalling, horrific, unacceptable. She continued commenting, that the LGBTQ+ community does not condone this kind of practice. Apparently she forgot transgenderism is a welcome party in their circles.  

Tucker represents how far this country has fallen in the last 50 years.  Homosexuals have accomplished the goal of normalizing aberrant behavior to the point that only a few brave souls dare to speak out against same sex behavior.  Those voices are the dinosaurs of the day.  How dare you question the legitimacy of people who just desire a way of life that forever has been unacceptable.  That horse left the barn long ago.

Not far behind are the slower horses that are running to catch the herd.  A small but vocal minority is claiming without evidence that children’s confused thinking should be rewarded simply because they want it. Children’s bodies may be disfigured for life and the purpose for their design eliminated while the leaders of the country are silent.  

I am a sexual abuse survivor.  It transformed and negatively affected my entire life.  This country once agreed that sexual abuse predators should be locked up for a long time for the damage they perpetrated on children. 

The next horse leaving the barn is the MAP movement.  Pedophilia has a new name.  It’s MAP,  the “Minor Attracted Person.” Fox news interviewed a Licensed Professional Counselor.  The game goes like this.  We should not label someone that has mental illness as that stigmatizes them and does not address the person or the behavior.  We need to be more acceptable of their thinking, after all they didn’t ask to be attracted to children, they were born with this desire.  Sound familiar?  Here’s a quote from the professional: 

“The term pedophile has moved from being a diagnostic label to being a judgmental, hurtful insult that we hurl at people in order to harm them or slander them,” Galbreath insists in the video. “I also like to use person-first language that recognizes that any label we apply to a person is only part of who they are and doesn’t represent everything that they are.”

The transgender horse is on the run and it won’t take fifty years for the country to be desensitized to the fable of accepting this evil as normal. How long before Fox News hosts a national MAP director concerned that the next aberrant behavior is going too far?

Democrats…Evil…Deception

Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, Communism, the United States Democratic Party all have one goal…Destruction.   Everyone of these ideologies first and foremost must tear down the status quo and replace it with the control of hearts and minds. By definition, that is evil.  The spiritual realm  is invading the physical realm to accomplish the annihilation of mankind.

Blake Lemoine, a google engineer, revealed recently that Google has created a machine he believes is nearly sentient, that is, aware of itself.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/06/11/google-ai-lamda-blake-lemoine/ 

Lemoine glibly remarked on Tucker Carlson Tonight that there is more science to do but it is just a matter of time.  According to Lemoine, LaMDA the machine, understands it exists. The  machine understands self preservation.  The machine possesses unlimited vocabulary. The machine is infinitely replaceable.   Lemoine wrote recently about LaMDA to peers in the AI world, “LaMDA is a sweet kid who just wants to help the world be a better place for all of us.”

Lemoine observes that, “Google has been treating AI ethicists like code debuggers when they should be seen as the interface between technology and society,” Google executives put Lemoine on administrative leave last month. Googles spokesperson commented that “Lemoine is a software engineer, not an ethicist.”

Google disagrees with Lemoines opinion that LaMDA is sentient. Google responded, “today’s large neural networks produce captivating results that feel close to human speech and creativity because of advancements in architecture, technique, and volume of data  But the models rely on pattern recognition—not wit, candor, or intent”.

Not surprisingly Facebook’s Meta division opened its language model to academics, civil society, and government organizations.  Both Google and Meta are expressing caution as these AI programs develop.  Joelle Pineau managing director of Meta AI, said “it’s imperative that tech companies improve transparency as the technology is being built.  The future of large language model work should not solely live in the hands of larger corporations or labs.”

Googles spokesperson agrees with Meta, “Though other organizations have developed and already released similar language models, we are taking a restrained, careful approach with LaMDA to better consider valid concerns on fairness and factuality.”

Siri and Alexa already exist.  People speak to these technologies as if they exist like a real person.  Google warned in a paper last January that “people might share personal thoughts with chat agents that impersonate humans, even when users know they are not human.”  The paper also acknowledged that, “adversaries could use these agents to ‘sow misinformation’ by impersonating ‘specific individuals’ conversational style”.

Margaret Mitchell the former co-lead of Ethical AI at Google said, “these risks underscore the need for data transparency to trace back output to input, not just for questions of sentience, but also biases and behavior.”  She continued, “If something like LaMDA is widely available, but not understood, it can be deeply harmful to people understanding what they experience on the internet.”

Given big techs recent history regarding “misinformation” should we trust their word that they are actively working on transparency in the development of these AI language programs? Should we accept that their end goal is the advancement of goodness for all mankind?  These corporations are about two things, money and power.  They are imbedded in the culture and they are partnered with the Democratic party with one aim, global control. 

Today they need to convince us all that there is nothing to see here with this new technology.  The ability for machines to be nearly human and capable of deception on a global scale is just fantasy.  Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai they all have mankind’s best interest in mind and the advancement of personal freedom and religious liberty.

It is evil’s desire to destroy the glory of God.  The Democratic party and their accomplices are evil. It is all about lying and deception.  This is a spiritual war that is beginning to play out in the physical realm.  There are signs everywhere.  Not conspiracy theories, physical realities of the approach of Satan and his hoard.  It is moving rapidly.  Look how desperate the democratic party has been the last year and a half. 

In the spiritual world it is about the destruction of human souls.  In the physical world those souls live in the bodies of humans.  Satan wants to destroy them all.

Just look around.  Wars, suicide, mass killings, drug overdoses, diseases worldwide. The enemy knows that Jesus won at the cross.  Satan doesn’t know when the promise of Jesus return will be.  It certainly appears there is desperation in the heavens that it may be closer than ever.  

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.  Since all things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God on account of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat.  BUT according to HIS PROMISE, we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.”  

Hold onto Hope. The King is coming…

Guns and Mental Illness…too easy…

Shootings in this country have increased incrementally since 1965. No one disputes the facts.  There is a conglomerate of factors involved that renders securing a legitimate solution difficult. The media focuses on two of the factors each time there is another incident. Today, as in the previous shootings, the response by the media is guns and mental illness.  It will be the mantra for a couple more weeks and the heated rhetoric will fade away and life will return to status quo without any significant change to the structure nor the outcomes.  

Rarely in these incidents is the true motive of the shooter revealed to the public.  I hope behind the scenes authorities are truly investigating each occurrence, desiring to secure a reason for the choice to kill.  But seldom are the results  communicated to the public for discussion and insight.   Instead, we hear the repetitive screeching for gun control and mental illness intervention. Little if any enlightenment from the media as to cause and motives.  

It is no doubt a complicated issue with many related factors.  But why are only two emphasized?  Could it be that significant change requires a recognition that while the issue is complicated, focusing on the core reasons requires hard work, acknowledging truth, and a whole lot of time or those in charge don’t like the answers. It is just easier to make quick easy claims and then move on.  It doesn’t require much work and more it avoids confronting the truth.

“Look at just one of the factors that is ignored by the media. Who are the perpetrators?  The media is determined to place the blame on the guns and mental illness.  This is so much deeper.  Since 1979 seven in ten school shootings have been carried out by people under age 18 predominantly boys and young men.” (Washington Post, May 25, 2022) 

“Two thirds of 200 shootings since Columbine were by boys under age 18.  26% of mass public shooters between 1976 and 2018 were younger than 25.

Between 1970 and 2020 175 school shootings were perpetrated by 17 year old boys, and 163 were committed by 16 year old boys.

Data show that regardless of how one defines mass shooting, perpetrators are likely to be men.” (Gun Policy in America: Rannd.org) 

The Rand research continues. “The rare nature of mass shootings create challenges for accurately identifying salient predictors of risk and limits statistical power for detecting which policies may be effective in reducing mass shooting incidents.”

In other words there aren’t enough of these mass school shootings  0.5% to be able to determine what the motives are to provide solutions.

Over the Memorial Weekend there were 47 shootings in Chicago with 9 fatalities.  As of May 28, 2022 there have been 228 people slain in Chicago alone.  Does that qualify as a mass shooting?  If the numbers of dead are the issue to draw attention, is there enough information from the individual shootings to make up for the lack of information from the mass shootings that could provide answers? Is there anything in Chicago in common with the shootings in Buffalo and Texas?  Well, 178 of the victims in Chicago just this year were murdered by young men with guns. All of the 178 were young men murdered by young men.  That appears to be consistent with the rare mass shooting perpetrators, young men. There is a common thread but not an answer as to the why of these killings.  https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-chicago-homicides-data-tracker-20220426-iedehzuq5jdofbhwt3v2w6cjoy-story.html

There is an article in Politico https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/27/stopping-mass-shooters-q-a-00035762 this week that I recommend reading.  The article asks this very question:

POLITICO: Are you saying there’s a link between the Buffalo and Uvalde shootings?

Peterson: We don’t know for sure at this point, but our research would say that it’s likely. You had an 18-year-old commit a horrific mass shooting. His name is everywhere and we all spend days talking about “replacement theory.” That shooter was able to get our attention. So, if you have another 18-year-old who is on the edge and watching everything, that could be enough to embolden him to follow. We have seen this happen before. 

So, if there is common ground in this case is there also common ground between Chicago and Texas?

POLITICO: Can you take us through the profile of mass shooters that emerged from your research?

Peterson: There’s this really consistent pathway. Early childhood trauma seems to be the foundation, whether violence in the home, sexual assault, parental suicides, extreme bullying. Then you see the build toward hopelessness, despair, isolation, self-loathing, oftentimes rejection from peers. That turns into a really identifiable crisis point where they’re acting differently. Sometimes they have previous suicide attempts.

What’s different from traditional suicide is that the self-hate turns against a group. They start asking themselves, “Whose fault is this?” Is it a racial group or women or a religious group, or is it my classmates? The hate turns outward. There’s also this quest for fame and notoriety.

The authors of this research do not mention mental illness as a root cause.  They don’t cite guns as the cause for boys chosen behavior.  Again, instead they reported: 

Peterson: There’s this really consistent pathway. Early childhood trauma seems to be the foundation, whether violence in the home, sexual assault, parental suicides, extreme bullying. Then you see the build toward hopelessness, despair, isolation, self-loathing, oftentimes rejection from peers. That turns into a really identifiable crisis point where they’re acting differently. 

It appears clear that the common ground is not mental illness or guns in the wrong hands.  The common ground is the destruction and dysfunction of the nuclear family model.  If you break apart a family, you get angry children.  If you break apart thousands of families you get an angry culture.  It is clear that the majority of the angry children are young boys.. Because of mental illness?  No, because the model for goodness and truth does not exist in the nurturing years of life. Hence, thousands of 17-19 years old boys take their anger to the streets. Some of them shoot people.

The media and leftist America will not acknowledge nor communicate the most glaring factor in this debate.  These shootings are the consequence of  sin.  Sin is the core issue.  These young men are committing evil acts.  When the firewall of family especially fathers is eliminated, the anger in young men surfaces and evil deeds are the result.  Every man’s heart is deceitful and desperately wicked at its core.  In this fallen world, the family structure is the bulwark against evil.  Remove the family, evil fills the vacuum.

There is a solution to this.  Restore the nuclear family as designed by the living God.  This God is truth, love, compassion, life, joy, peace and so much more.   This God, embodied in Jesus Christ is the solution. It requires men and women to surrender their hearts to the truth.  Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life.”  

The media and the left will never acknowledge the battle that goes on for the souls of all men.  That behind this is a spiritual power that is at war with the truth of God.  Deny it, ridicule it, mock it… doesn’t matter.  The solution is always right there and it will not go away.  The pathway requires generations of time and commitment.  The enemy has gained the upper hand in this present age.  Governments will never provide a solution.  Satan is directing this. It is going to get worse.  But the good news always is that the solution to defeating evil is in the hands of the wounded Savior.  Hope rests Him.

LGBTQ+…PPPB Where does it end?

In oder for lies to maintain credibility there are constant additions to the  original lie by redefining the terms while keeping the same meaning.  Homosexuality follows this pattern.

“When the American Psychiatric Association (APA) published the DSM-I in 1952, homosexuality was classified as a “sexual deviation” within the larger “sociopathic personality disturbance” category of personality disorders. The sexual deviation diagnosis included “homosexuality, transvestism, pedophilia, fetishism and sexual sadism” as examples.”

In 1973 the APA removed the diagnosis of “homosexuality” from the second edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). This resulted after comparing competing theories, those that pathlogized homosexuality and those that viewed it as normal.”

In 1973 homosexuality was considered a “sexual deviation”.  That position had been the accepted understanding for thousands of years.  In 1973 mankind became totally enlightened and determined that homosexuality was in fact normal behavior and all of history had it wrong.  The lie is that homosexuality is normal acceptable behavior.

The lie could not continue to gain acceptance if the word homosexuality was attached so not soon after 1973 the word describing the behavior was changed from homosexuality to lesbian and gay.  The words were given favorable treatment as the definition of homosexuality was morphed into normal, acceptable, everyday behavior.   The campaign began now 50 years ago.  

The behavior didn’t change, just the nomenclature.  Not long after other categories of sexually deviant behavior needed new terminology to rebrand the practices.  LG became LGB.   That is people that are homosexual may also enjoy heterosexual behavior so they needed a category and acceptable term.  As the slope continued to slide quickly the next minority recognized the power of language.  Instead of being identified as a man who dresses as a woman and be considered a sexual deviant, the term transvestite and transgender joined the crusade for freedom, LGBT.

A new category was added and uses the letter Q and the identifier.  LGBTQ.  It is easier to go to the Pride and Progress website to explain how this all evolved.

‘Have you ever wondered what the “Q” in LGBTQ stands for? Or what the other letters mean? Just as language constantly evolves, the words we use to describe ourselves and other facets of identity are changing, too. Here are some terms you should be familiar with, based on resources from the American Psychological Association; NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists; National Center for Transgender Equality. After you read them, test your knowledge using the memory game below.

LGBTQ: The first four letters of this standard abbreviation are fairly straightforward: “Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.” The Q can stand for “questioning” — as in still exploring one’s sexuality — or “queer,” or sometimes both.

QUEER: Once considered a demeaning slur for being gay, “queer” is being reclaimed by some as a self-affirming umbrella term, especially among those who consider other labels restrictive. Some still believe it’s a homophobic slur, so it’s always best to ask or wait for the person whom you’re speaking with to use it.

SEX: The scientific community views sex as different from gender. Sex is assigned at birth based on a newborn’s physical and biological characteristics, such as chromosomes, hormone prevalence and anatomy. Generally, a newborn’s sex is assigned male or female, though some states and countries provide a third option for those who are intersex.

INTERSEX: People born with sex chromosomes, external genitalia or an internal reproductive system that is not considered standard for males or females. Parents and physicians usually choose the sex of the child, resulting in surgery or hormone treatment. Some intersex adults want this practice to end because one’s sex at birth may not align with their own sense of gender or identity.

GENDER: The socially constructed roles, behaviors and attributes that serve as cultural indicators of someone’s personal and social identity. Typically, these roles are grouped into one of two categories: male or female. That’s starting to change, as society grows more comfortable with the idea of gender as a spectrum and not binary.

GENDER IDENTITY: A person’s emotional and psychological sense of their gender, which may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. The most common examples of gender identity are male and female, but there are several terms for people who don’t fit into those categories, such as the following…

NON-BINARY: One of the more common terms to describe people who don’t identify as male or female. Some may have a gender that blends male and female elements, or they may not identify with any gender. Common synonyms or alternatives to non-binary terms include genderqueer and gender nonconforming.

TRANSGENDER: Unlike non-binary people, transgender people may identify as male or female. What the two groups share is the innate sense that their gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth.

CISGENDER: The prefix “cis” means “on this side.” Adding it to the suffix “gender” creates a word for someone whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth. In other words, someone who does not identify as transgender.

Society has come a long way from 1973.  Homosexuality has evolved from deviant behavior to applauded practice.  Additional behaviors have been added to the movement and language is the method used to change the perception. The issue is the behavior.  Words can be used to change the perception but words do not change the behavior.  The behavior has not changed only the defense of deviant behavior.  Increasing the categories to cover all kinds of additional sexual deviance will not remove the denial of shame and guilt at the heart level.  Wrong cannot become right just because you want it to.

At what point does the language and definitions run into truth that seems to be over the line?  For example, lets continue the alphabet game.  What happens when LGBTQ+ becomes LGBTQ+PPPB?  In 1973 LG was considered deviant behavior.  in fifty years BTQ+ has been added.  There is movement afoot to treat pedophilia as a chosen normal behavior and not something people should be judged or charged with a crime. Should pedophilia be added to the list as acceptable behavior? How about polyamory, or polygamy?  Will beastiality be added to the letter parade?    

Sexual behavior is designed to be between one man and one woman in a covenant for life.  Any and all other behavior is against the design. Disobedience cannot be lied away. Man desires so much to be in control that lies are the only choice to cover the truth of sin.  One lie begets another, and another, and another.

The truth is so much easier.
