The Constitution vs. Communism

There were five primary influences behind the formation of the United States Constitution. The two main individuals are John Locke and Montesquieu along with the Freemasons. Locke’s contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the United States Declaration of Independence. Charles-Louis de Secondat, a.k.a. Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu was a French judge and political philosopher who was the principal source of the theory of separation of powers. This was implemented into the United States Constitution. Meanwhile, Freemasons, which included several founding fathers, argued, conceived, and ratified this immortal document. The final two sources of inspiration were the Bible and Greek philosophy.

In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off], Galatians 5:1.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels each study the history of the world’s economics in the 19th Century. As each began to examine how finances, industry and power are controlled by countries, the roots of communism were planted. As countries, empires and nations have evolved over time, each tend to go through five different stages. This includes Primitive Communion, Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism. Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Ho Chi Minh are three of the most famous communist leaders of all time. Unfortunately, these 3 men are also responsible killing millions of their own people, targeting those who didn’t conform to the laws and rules enforced with a heavy hand. This same method continues today by using concentration and reprogramming camps to coerce the rebellious into conforming.

For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for selfishness], but through love you should serve one another. 14 For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is complied with in the one precept, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself, Galatians 5:13-14.

Like any great society, countries reach a crossroads, unsure of which way to turn. Should a nation to return to their past or proceed toward a progressive future? This is what is at stake for the United States of America on Tuesday November 3rd. Do American citizens want to follow the lead of Europe by embracing Communism? Or will immigrants who fled communism to chase the American Dream convince their neighbors and others to reject this form of government? Only time will tell the fate of this country. Depending upon your political party, the lines have been clearly drawn. Will you vote to defend and uphold the Constitution or do you want the blow up our current system and in the process embrace Communism?

Another Form of False Prophets

Moses is one of the first Jewish leaders to warn Israel concerning false prophets.  In the passage below, Moses provides a standard to determine if someone is speaking a message from God or simply presumptuously.  Unfortunately, some so called prophets are influenced by arrogance, a brazen attitude or overconfidence.  This lack of discipline results in false predictions, promises and statements.

When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord and the thing does not happen or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him, Deuteronomy 18:22.

Since 1960, a Green New Deal has been proposed by a number of progressive candidates such as George McGovern, Al Gore and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  The most recent proposal from AOC, drafted in December of 2018, included a warning that the United States would suffer irreversible coastal damage if environmental changes aren’t enacted soon.  During a recent interview, the author of this latest Green New Deal proposal said “the Green New Deal is not primarily about addressing the climate crisis, but about replacing America’s capitalist economy with a more socialist one.”

For false Christs and false prophets will appear and they will provide great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones). 25 Listen carefully, I have told you in advance, Matthew 24:24-25.

While Moses does not call presumptuous prophets liars, Jesus is more blunt in the New Testament.  Anyone who gives inaccurate, false or misleading statements about God are called false prophets.  Yet, the charisma of some of these individuals will cause many devout Christians to be deceived by what appears to be good intentions.  This led the apostle Paul to urge believers to test everything you hear with the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22.  Thus, the next time you hear a statement that seems too good to be true, cross reference this with God’s Word so that you are not fooled by another form of false prophets.
