Judging A Book By Its Cover, and other such foolishness....

A New Dawn is now breaking....

I was recently accused of being something that I am not - based [merely] upon certain false and clearly misguided perceptions of another. Something, which happens with great regularity to most of us. But it was nonetheless disconcerting, on my part, since he wouldn't make any specific allegations... nor, even cared, for any explanation - of whatever conceivably offended him. He had simply: "Judged a book, by its cover" and that's that.

Since, the closest thing to an explanation that he offered, was: "Your own blog and profile bear witness to what and who you are ;-( Simply sad for you ;-("  - I can't be absolutely certain of what he was specifically referring to. [***Note: Read Comments from the posting: "Is Yahshua Equal To Yahweh?"] I can, however, make some highly educated assumptions - based upon the past several postings of which he made to the article. Let's just see, whether I can get it right....

"The Truth About America" blog site.

As a Blogger and Writer with varied personal interests, I currently maintain Several Diverse Blogs. Two of them are Political, two of them are Spiritual, and one is of Local Interest to my personal home town - Abbeville, South Carolina. For the Political Blogs, I utilize my moniker: "The Real American" and for the Spiritual Blogs I go by my moniker: "A True Believer." Meanwhile, my Personal Profile reflects all of these Various Interests. Nor, would I have it any other way....

Ergo, His Logical Dilemma [in a nutshell]: "One cannot be both: 'A Real American,' and 'A True Believer' - simultaneously." After all, Politics is a "Worldly Endeavor" and True Worship is a "Spiritual One." How can we be Pilgrims [while upon the earth] in search of a spiritual home, while simultaneously Waging War [upon a spiritual level] for the soul of our once great nation? It's all so darn confusing, to some of us... and, in fact, many believe that it's utterly impossible.

But Then Again, Maybe Not....

For I am neither: "Your Average American," nor, "Your Average Believer." I firmly and resolutely believe in The God-Given Principles which made America great - while simultaneously rejecting all of the pitiful excuses, that we invariably seek to give, for not [fully] living up to them. Sure, I look forward to: "The New Earth" - as fully prophesied in the scriptures... and my heart yearns within me for Yahweh's:  "New Jerusalem" - settling at long last upon the Earth. But, what should we be doing in the meantime?

Fishing requires, "The Right Bait."

Do we just ignore all of The Wickedness [going on all around us] and silently wait for His Second Coming? Or, do we utilize what time is remaining in fishing for Yahweh? Humans possess many different avenues of interest other than just religion... and yet the same Universal Principles operate throughout: Science, Mathematics, Economics, Politics, and Religion. Think about it.... Didn't Yahweh, create them all?

As The Real American, I represent "The Unvarnished Truth" about America. A nation founded upon the God-Given and Incorruptible Principles of: Freedom, Brotherhood, and Equality - which has never, fully lived up, to its own benevolent promises. And, Yes, I am Patriotic [in large measure], to this, "Greatest Of All Nations...." How could I, honestly, be otherwise? Yahweh Himself, fully espouses, the very same Universal Principles! Does He Not?

Consider, The Principle Of Freedom:

Who gave man two choices in the Garden Of Eden? Was it Our Creator, or Lucifer? Let's see, what  the scripture says....

• "The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The Tree Of Life was also in the midst of the garden, and The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil." - Genesis 2:8-9.

 Lucifer didn't: create, or [even] plant the tree. Nor, did he cause it to grow in the midst of the garden. Yahweh did! After all, it was Yahweh's Garden; and not Lucifer's. Lucifer merely drew Adam and Eve's attention towards it; and then offered them up to a Skillfully Conceived Lie.

Eden was all part of: "God's Plan."

Why did Yahweh place: "Two trees in the midst of the garden?" In order that man might enjoy His Own Personal Freedom! But, what if man chose wrongly? That's the chance, that He had to take, in order to create Intelligent and Rational Human Beings. More importantly, He already had that avenue covered - by His: "Foreordained Plan Of Salvation." Yahweh doesn't do, or even allow, anything to happen by accident!

But what about all of the: Loss Of Life,  Destruction, and Human Suffering? Believe it, or not, He has that Fully Under Control, as well. He offers: A Resurrection [for the repentant], A Judgment [for the non-repentant], and A Healing [for the nations of humanity]... and Afterward, no-one will ever Consciously Choose to walk in rebellion again. For, the Cumulative Results [of all our sin] will be Catastrophic - for all of humanity! Just look around you, it's already beginning to reach its Full Measure.... Do you like, what you honestly see?

 Thy Word Is Truth, O Yahweh....

Yahweh desires: "Worship In Spirit and Truth." But how could He do so, without His children possessing their own Individual Freedom? Unthinking Machines are a sheer mockery, when compared to Loving Human Children. The KEY has always been Love ! Machines can't Love at all, since they do not have their own Freedom To Choose... whereas, Humans can quite easily Love, but [then again] few of them honestly understand it; or even choose to. Ergo, the selection process known simply as: "The Judgment." Freedom comes with Consequences.

Consider, The Principle Of Brotherhood:

What were The Scriptures given to us for... and what did Yahshua attempt to teach us through His Parables? Wasn't it, to teach us all about Love? And how is such Love ever to be expressed without achieving The Brotherhood Of All Men? If even wicked men do good things toward their own brothers, then how much more should: "The Followers Of Yahweh..." and in a world, wherein every man is conceptually your brother, how much less wickedness should honestly result?

Yahshua Taught:

• "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder,' and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you that whoever is angry with His Brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to His Brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You Fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire." - Mathew 5:21-22.

Who are all of these Brothers, that Yahshua is talking about? Could they be [merely] Our Fellow Human Beings? I think so... and so did, the majority of Our Founding Fathers. Sure, some of them were Lucifer's Children: Freemasons, Illuminati, Jesuits, and [even] others... but They didn't build this nation; and They have always worked continuously and tirelessly towards effectively destroying it. Why? Because America was a haven of Yahweh's Righteousness, amidst a sea of blatant Authoritarian Luciferianism. 

A Constitutional Covenant with Yahweh.

Was America perfect? Certainly not! For, it consisted of Fallible Human Beings. But, there was nothing wrong with The Covenant - which had been most earnestly created. The United States Constitution is still the greatest single document of its kind upon our planet. It is merely being ignored, as always, by her utterly wicked and thoroughly corrupted human children. The "New Testament Israel:" Erected its own Idols, Built its own High Places, and Broke its own Covenant, as well... and there is No Going Backwards!

Whether you realize this, or not, American History has paralleled that of Ancient Israel - who themselves had a covenant with Yahweh. The reverend Thomas Paine wrote extensively upon these blatantly obvious parallels - in his booklet entitled: "Common Sense." Perhaps, you might like to read it sometime.... Alas, America also broke her Foreordained Covenant With Yahweh; and we are now reaping the results. Just read, Isaiah chapter 18 [regarding a nation beyond Ethiopia and across the sea from it.]. It's truly incredible....

Consider, The Principle Of Equality:

When Yahweh says: "I am no respecter of persons." - what is He [honestly] saying? Is every man viewed exactly the same under His Laws, as well?  Let's, look at the scripture:

•  "Yet you say, 'Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?' Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and done them, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son.  The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself." - Ezekiel 18:19-20.

Ethnic Diversity was Yahweh's Plan.

Sounds pretty straightforward to me, but what do you think? Could it really be that simple? Are we all Truly Equal under, His Law? Of course we are! He has Equally: Created Us, Provided For Us, Sustained Us, and [even] Longed For Our Continued Spiritual Growth - out of His Love For Us. Think about it, our Human and Physiological Differences are entirely irrelevant to Him - who made us who we now are.... If they mattered, He wouldn't have made them! Or, would He?

It's All A Matter Of Proper Perspective.... 

It looks like "A Dog" to me... Am I wrong?

Can, "The Real American," also be: A True Believer? Isn't "A Labrador Retriever" also a Dog... or, isn't "A Mustang" not factually also a Horse? The Spirit Of Yahweh thinks in: "Kinds," and not "species." It sure makes you think, now doesn't it.... Not every Believer, is even an American. But every "Real American" is [most certainly] A True Believer! How can it be otherwise? You cannot uphold Yahweh's Godly Principles without, Him first, placing them within your very own heart!

The "Great American Experiment" was A Covenant with Yahweh; and some [very few] of us still remember it! Not everyone in Ancient Israel broke their covenant either; and yet, they were still judged as a nation - for that is what they were. Likewise, there are many in America today who strongly desire her substantial repentance. But, will it happen? Not according to prophecy.... Instead, we [the remnant of Israel] will be given as a gift unto Yahweh upon His Mount Zion; and be reunited with Our Brothers from Judah.

And for those of you, who still can't get it - I am An Ideological, Philosophical, and Spiritual Purist....

And That's  Why, You Shouldn't: "Judge A Book By Its Cover!"

Ahava, and Shalom.

PS. The scripture states:"If someone says, 'I Love Yahweh,' and yet hates his own brother, then he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love Yahweh whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves Yahweh must love his brother also."
