TABOO
My heart grieves for our country
We
Human Americans
Severely altered states
Hardly united
Children of God Almighty
Have allowed the unthinkable
Our Savior Jesus Christ
Forsaken
Publicly “Taboo”
Forced from circulation
Prohibited from our schools
Locked out of our courtrooms
Banned from our workplace
No longer welcome at our sporting events
We have even shunned His holy name from our pagan holidays
What exactly is an “XMAS”?
Painted eggs
Chocolate bunnies
Annual exercise in futility
Misled congregations
Filled to Fire Marshall Capacity
Self centered rituals
Going through the motions
Miss the true meaning of RESURRECTION
Empirical Super “Churches”
Celebrate over flowing offering plates
In step with the Halleluiah Chorus
Jolly fat elf
Showers our children with toys
Material impedimenta
An adorned fir tree
Symbolic of Golgotha timber?
We conjure up tooth fairies
Dress up our kids as demons, wizards, witches, ghosts
Celebration of the dead
Cartoons glorify black magic
Violence
Aggression
Reality Television
Orgy of fleshly temptation
Young bespectacled warlocks become icons
We worship rock stars and professional athletes
“Celebrities” walk on water
Corporate giants
Reap ridiculous profits from our ignorance
Righteousness
Replaced by Fiat currency
Doomed technological idolatry
Twelve Step circles
Cringe at the mention of His name
The very source of all “higher power”
He
Who gave His life for us all
Dismissed as offensive
How can this be?
Our sick misguided society
Wayward lost souls
Gripped firmly in Satan’s claws
The “FALLING AWAY” has begun
Apostasy
We have lost our way to the truth
Blind
Numb
Mesmerized by vile hypnosis
“Political correctness” my ass!
Who do we think we are?
These sincere words shall step on some toes
So be it
This day I stand affirmed
HE IS
LORD OF LORDS
SON OF GOD
REDEEMER
THE LAMB
I praise His precious name in triumph
2 Thessalonians 2:2-4 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain
2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Fiat, irredeemable paper ticket-token or electronic-checkbook money (U.S. dollars)
Where does money come from; how does it originate?
Commodity money (a medium of exchange) is an invention of the market; it evolves. Market participants want that which is used for money to have the lowest transaction costs when transferring wealth geographically and over time. The market has determined that gold is the most efficient money, then silver. The reason the market chooses gold-as-money is because it is the commodity for which the buy/sell spread increases the least as ever-greater quantities are offered for sale. Because it takes work to create commodity money, it is said to have “intrinsic value.”
An arbitrary (fiat) invention. It is created out of nothing by banks and central banks and made legal (with legal tender, a.k.a. “forced tender,” laws) by politicians with whom they have colluded. Because it takes no work to create fiat money, it is said to have no “intrinsic value.” With fiat money, there is no limit as to how much can be created, and it always eventually becomes worthless.
