God is the biggest failure in the Bible...the reason you've never thought that is because He never said He was one.

A Message of Equality

fisherman59 submitted: "Why is our government no longer the voice of the people? Maybe because everyone feels that their vote no longer has an impact. Shouldn't governments be in fear of the people instead of people in fear of their government? Must we continue on a path of inequality where the voice of the minority continues to fall on deaf ears?
Our government continues to place fear in the people while promoting their agendas. This message of fear is then manifested more and more through our learning institutions and our pulpits. It’s not hard to figure out their agenda when you realize the power of the words “if you can keep the people in fear, you can keep them under submission.” Our economy continues to down spiral at an alarming rate but who cares and who has the answers? If someone did have the answers, what would it take to get everyone on the same page? Where would you start, to tackle such a mountain, with seemingly insurmountable odds? God! I think so. Since I came to study covenant eschatology, my senses have became so tuned to easily depict between mere lip service and a genuine heart. Maybe it’s due to the fact that my god turned out to be way more powerful than the god that most people worship. In the fact, that He accomplished everything that He said would happen including, not leaving those believers in the first generation with false hope. Our founding fathers were explicit, and for good reason, the importance of separating church and state. Today, church and state are so intertwined; it’s next to impossible to differentiate between the two. Our government now seems to be promoting the evangelical agenda which is supposedly synopsis with God’s agenda. Pretty smart huh, finding common ground with the faith based world! I’ve often said that it would take a revolution to turn the tide and take our government back over. But we both know where that ends up, and hopefully we’ve gained in wisdom thru history, but many still forget the lessons of war and still use war instead of sound reasoning as a means to peace.
I now say that if our government can find common ground amongst the believing world, to mask their agendas, then the time has come for God’s people to put their faith in check through putting their differences aside and finding common ground to unveil the government’s hypocrisy and hidden agendas, which is everything but a free and equal society. I ask you, what is equal about a majority and a minority? There is always a winner and always a loser. In a system where the economic playing field, is so unequal, the winner is most often the one with the most money. Before you answer and condemn me as being unpatriotic, remember that Jesus was a minority of one against a majority of many. The people of that generation were as duped as we are in going against what was morally right and going along with the majority. When power and money can be unequally obtained and be cloaked in righteousness at the expense of others, then it’s not hard to figure out where we went astray. I know that God has been patient with the knowledge, that He has given me before and after bringing me to the truth of His word, and when and what I do with that knowledge from that point forward. This now brings me to the point in which I wish to challenge your faith in sound effective reasoning. I have been studying a system that would put our economy back in shape within a year. It would instill a sense of self worthiness and pride in all the people through less dependency on the government. Think about it, if a person receives 100% of his or her employment check and is only forced to pay taxes voluntarily upon consumption, what would that do to their sense of net worth? It would level the playing field and truly create an environment of equality. It would bring back industry, from foreign soil, that’s had to leave our country due to our unequal tax system. Most of all, it’s a common ground for all faith’s to come together for the common and moral good of mankind. It would provide a bridge, with a foundation of morality, between the believer and the unbeliever. It could also mend bridges between the church and those ridiculed and cast out of the church. It could be an avenue to set our silly religious differences aside and realize that we are all in fact equal in God’s eye’s in purpose and will. The possibilities are endless but the bottom line is that God’s agenda will prevail over men. I can see that happening as people come together to free themselves from bondage and take control of their own lives and destiny. What I need from you is to do the research. I bought the book but you can go to the website www.fairtax.org. This bill is gaining in popularity and was written by a congressman with sound reasoning and sound research. Much like preterism, it goes against the norm, and if you focus on the mountain you’ll never get there. See if you see what I see, an idea in which its time has come. A government working for the people and not the people working for their government. A government in fear of the people and not the people in fear of their government. Let’s reason thru this together in the hope that we gain in wisdom to His purpose.
I still remember when I first came to study covenant eschatology and how I put it aside for two weeks. It’s like I knew it to be true because all the pieces fit together but it went against everything being taught and preached in the world. I was going through many trials and much soul searching at the time, and for reasons unknown, felt that I had to go outside the church to come to the truth. They either knew the truth and were putting a veil over it or they didn’t know the truth and was merely teaching what they were taught. It’s like the Lord knew my heart and when I did come back to embrace the study of covenant eschatology, He whispered, this is the truth now can you handle the truth?
If this be God’s will-May He bless and direct all our thoughts.

(User Info | Send a Message) | The questions you ask here need to be asked.
There are some possibilities that anyone observing trends in the US and other heavily indebted countries need to consider:
Possibility 1: The government knows that the ecomony is out of control and has no idea how to fix it. So they keep borrowing hoping that all will right itself.
Possibility 2: The government thinks all is well and the economy will balance out soon
Possibility 3: They know there is no future so they are are extending madly in order to capture as many resources as possible
Is there a fourth possibility?
What are your comments on the following article?
