How To Nuke Clown World

[ClaytonB]

Despite the ratcheting acceleration of open-air bedlam among "the adults" that are supposedly keeping the lights on and manning the air-traffic control towers of society and governance, many people have not yet awakened to the reality of what, exactly, Clown World really is. On the surface, it's a meme. Something dreamed up by "far-right" meme-propaganda think-tankers. Ingenious. Innovative. But nothing outside of "business-as-usual". Just a new variation on the oldest theme of all: power through manipulation.

But this is not correct. Clown World is most definitely not business-as-usual. Clown World is something that none of our ancestors ever saw, or even imagined, except as they contemplated prophecies of the end times and the signs indicating their arrival. Clown World is the Beast System in disguise. It still has a mask on. That's why it's Clownish... the purpose of the Clown camouflage is to make the sinister seem silly. To make the murderous seem harmlessly stupid. To make the utterly depraved seem like harmless "neurodivergence". Lift the corner of the mask and see for yourself -- what we refer to as "the Deep State" is not mere political-calculation, it is a summoning of the devil himself for the purpose of bringing the real Hell onto the earth. They want to bring back open-air demonism, open-air human sacrifice, open-air Sodom, open-air Molech worship, open-air running violence in the streets... they want Mad Max World -- Clown World is just the prefatory act.

The biggest giveaway that "the Deep State" are cheating -- meaning, they are using supernatural wickedness -- is the ineffectiveness of all natural defenses against The Agenda. When dealing with a hostile, stupid and insane enemy, there are many effective natural defenses. For example, the people who are not hostile, stupid and insane can colocate together for a time, establish a defensive boundary and ward off the zombie horde until the madness subsides. But in Clown World, every attempt at this strategy simply fizzles and withers away, as if by magic. Enumerate all the other natural defenses which people have used throughout history to ward off invaders, drive out infiltrators, identify and execute traitors, destroy fifth-columns, and ask yourself whether these defenses are working today, in Clown World. Is there even one natural defense from history which has offered a single iota of resistance to the Clown World Agenda? I assert that you will not find a single one, even though many defenses have been tried. To the Clowns, it is just water off a duck's back.

So, what is the nuclear weapon for defeating Clown World? How do you defeat an enemy who is cheating like mad, and getting away with it? They have so many advantages that even as we assemble a defense-strategy, they adapt in real-time and set up counters for every possible defensive move we may make. How can that be defeated??

The answer is in Scripture. After the whore of Babylon is defeated:

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:

“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
For true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute
Who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

And again they shouted:

“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”

The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:

“Amen, Hallelujah!”

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God,
All you his servants,
You who fear him,
Both great and small!”

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad
And give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
And his bride has made herself ready...
(Revelation 19:1-8)

The nuclear weapon against this evil world of slavery and death, patterned on the filthy image of Satan himself, is the open-air praise and worship of God. As improbable as it may seem, it is not nukes or aircraft carriers which will defeat the devil's henchmen and the Antichrist world-order. No, it is praise and worship of God that will destroy them. This is the "folly" of the Gospel (1 Cor. 1:18ff) and it is the power of God to destroy this present evil world in unquenchable flames.

This is the nuclear weapon we hold. Make no mistake, it is more powerful than any weapon ever devised by any military. It hits harder than 1,000 aircraft carrier groups. It is more inexorable than cyberwarfare. More insidious than psychological warfare. More unstoppable than nanobots. There is no bunker deep enough to escape it. No air command high enough to escape it. No submarine hidden enough to escape it. No technology sophisticated enough to resist it. It is the weapon of all weapons and it is, indeed, the very weapon by which those who believe in Jesus and are delivered by him at the end of the Age will burn this present evil world down into hell itself. Our praise and worship of the true and living God is a weapon against the wicked -- it is fire from heaven itself.

The problem is that it's not God that the so-called "Christians" worship, but rather they worship their own pain-seeking, willfully-ignorant ape-arrogance. Even at this late age, at mankind's end, humanity still has not overcome its great love and adoration for all-ages dismembering gang-rape Hell eternal.

I don't mean to say that they are consciously aware of that, since they aren't consciously aware of much, and on purpose. For the overwhelming part, nature had no use for this thing called "consciousness", it having only arrived on the universal scene relatively recently and in very small degree. So consciousness is something humans oft do horrifically badly, with an emphasis on *horrific*.

Original Sin is quite real. What it actually consists of is the naturally-evolved killer instincts which characterizes members of the metazoans in particular. Since all humans are the not-too-distant descendants of serial-killing, baby-raping cannibals. Such a past appears to be universal for mankind if one goes back far enough in time.

Regarding the purposeful nature of mankind's willful ignorance: people's choices regarding such gore-seeking activities are very deliberate, though on their subconscious level. That is, the maleficent subsets of their mind are deliberately choosing such courses of action. In other words, their demons are in many ways superintelligent, though it is a broken form of superintelligence, as the demons don't appear to have free will, they being stuck on evil. For much more on that, see my following article:

* James Redford, "Societal Sadomasochism", Internet Archive, July 4, 2021 (orig. pub. May 29, 2018), 4 pp., ark:/13960/t2r59ws9q, https://archive.org/download/Societal-Sadomasochism/Redford-Societal-Sadomasochism.pdf , https://ghostarchive.org/archive/a11XH , https://megalodon.jp/2021-0705-1226...omasochism/Redford-Societal-Sadomasochism.pdf .

The only way to overcome those demons is via knowledge: e.g., "the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32); "be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16). That is, Salvation has always been a knowledge-based process--for indeed, existence itself is a knowledge-based project: as God is defined as the Omniscient Being, i.e., the All-Science Being. "Science" simply being a Latin-derived word (from *scientia*) meaning "knowledge".

Which is to say, one must use the conscious-layer of one's mind to test all spirits (cf. 1 John 4:1). And everything is a spirit (as indeed standard physics has demonstrated with the Bekenstein Bound). Yet only genuine knowledge--science--can serve as that test. Even an actually-superintelligent entity can only discern the difference between a holy angel or a demon based upon its knowledge of what in actuality produces beneficent as opposed to maleficent outcomes, since the demons are so-defined based upon the baleful results they produce.

As I elsewhere wrote on April 13, 2023 in reply to another (within the pound signs):

"But we have to prove we are right and God does exist!"


You can if you want, but it won't do any good at all. I have observed that humans are very, very good at finding reasons to believe what they have already decided they want to believe. You can plot out every step in your logic chain, you can snow them under with facts, but it won't make any difference at all. If a person wants to believe something he will find a way to prove to himself it is true, despite all facts and logic.


Meanwhile he will claim you are doing the same: Finding reasons to believe what you have already decided you want to believe.

If the intention is to create Hell on Earth, then your above methodology is the precise way to obtain that goal. The reason the world is in the despicable state that it's in is because the world detests God--i.e., the Truth. And that's the case even with so-called "Christians". If even a couple of percent of those who call themselves Christian were actual Christians, then we would already be living in a mortal paradise.

Almost all of modern world society has been inducted to some extent by their respective governments into a completely misanthropic and nihilistic antitheist Weltanschauung, a Godless worldview of eternal death. It is the sine qua non of the serial-killer ethos.

Even nominal mass-Christianity has been to a large degree inducted into this worldview by buying into the God-haters' mendacious propaganda regarding there being a conflict between science and religion. But it is a lie: for ever since Newton's physics, and especially with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics (either separately or combined), God's existence has always been a mathematically-unavoidable result.

If God in the literal sense of the infinite sapient being does not exist, then all is permissible. Even if one can prove that, say, libertarianism is apodictically true in the same degree that 2+2 = 4 is true, so what? In the end, we're all dead anyway. The only thing that could give life any meaning beyond mere delusion is if God exists, since then an infinite computational state would exist, thereby allowing finite minds to endlessly grow in complexity toward infinite perfection (per the Quantum Recurrence Theorem). Only then would one's life-work avoid coming to naught. Only then would what one does now actually matter in the end.

Whereas traditional Christianity has been at the forefront of using the latest science of the day to prove God's existence, such as with Anselm's *Proslogion* and Thomas Aquinas's Five Ways. Indeed, natural science as a systematic discipline is the invention of Christendom, as is the university system.

Christians in this Godless age continuously cut their own feet out from under themselves before they even bother standing up. They've made the proverbial Faustian bargain with this world--in this case, what evolutionary biologist Prof. Stephen Jay Gould termed the "non-overlapping magisteria": that if they just cede ground regarding scientific matters to the God-haters, that said theophobes won't interfere with the Christians' theological concerns.

Though Satan must always betray in his pacts. The God-haters have come to lie, steal, enslave, torture, rape and murder--and all that on a mass-scale. Attempts to appease them result in mass-horrors.

Yet why would Christians believe the same God-hating intelligentsia that gave us the horrors of Communism and Nazism (and other forms of socialism), to name a few of their many horrific societal gifts? Once one buys into their false premise, one has already lost. And I'm not talking about merely debates. One has lost society. One has lost souls. This false premise is straight out of the pit of Hell. So stop believing it, those who dare call themselves Christians. Stop believing the serial-killers of societies. They set-up a trap, and naïve Christians willingly fall into it. The consequences are rotting corpses stacked as far as the eye can see. Stop being a participatory party to your own rape and slaughter. Stop fashioning your own noose.

Christians in this age have been entranced by this demonic spell. For the antidote, see my following article:

Scientia est Salvatio

I'm not going to get into a tit-for-tat with you, but I will give a rebuttal of key points for lurkers/etc.

"Scientia est salvatio" is gnosticism, and it is the antichrist's anti-gospel. Follow this trash to your peril.

they aren't consciously aware of much, and on purpose.

You're beating up some kind of bizarre strawman, completely irrelevant and unrecognizable outside of some old, tired tropes about self-flagellating papists. This isn't 1300 AD.

Such a past...

... is the fevered fantasy of those who need to normalize a future they intend to create by arguing, "it was always this way, the Christian-era was just a brief aberration from the normal condition."

a broken form of superintelligence

Aka the mind of Lucifer.

The only way to overcome those demons is via knowledge: e.g., "the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32); "be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16).

To conclude that, you will basically need to black out the entire rest of the New Testament with censor-bars, leaving only Matthew 10:16. This is what we in the business call "cherry-picking" or just straight-up twisting of Scripture.

a completely misanthropic and nihilistic antitheist Weltanschauung, a Godless worldview of eternal death. It is the sine qua non of the serial-killer ethos.

The irony of this is that this is the most exact possible description of "scientia est salvatio".

mendacious propaganda regarding there being a conflict between science and religion. But it is a lie:

We can agree on that much. God is the God who created the entire world, both heavens and earth, and so is the very Author of everything that can truly be called science.

natural science as a systematic discipline is the invention of Christendom, as is the university system.

Yet the paradox implied in this versus your main thesis -- that Christianity is a religion based on ignorance -- flies right past you. Amazing.

Stop fashioning your own noose.

The noose of eternal death has etched into it, "scientia est salvatio".

James Redford...

... is not the name above all names and, thus, there is no salvation to be found in that name. Or any similar quack spouting off-the-cuff gnosticism wrapped in the garbs of pseudo-science.

[LexEtLibertas]

God Is the Omni-Science Being

I'm not going to get into a tit-for-tat with you, but I will give a rebuttal of key points for lurkers/etc.

"Scientia est salvatio" is gnosticism, and it is the antichrist's anti-gospel. Follow this trash to your peril.

To begin with, for those commonly called Gnostics, such an appellation is a misnomer, since such falsely-called "Gnostics" maintain that the physical world is an evil deception by the Demiurge, and hence that there is no point in attempting to gain systematic knowledge of the physical world. By giving up on attempting to better-know the Mind of God via a study of His creation, modern so-called "Christians" are "Gnostics" in this misnomered sense of the word.

You're beating up some kind of bizarre strawman, completely irrelevant and unrecognizable outside of some old, tired tropes about self-flagellating papists. This isn't 1300 AD.

You're replying to a phantasm of your own mind. For my actual position on this matter, consult my following article:

* James Redford, "Societal Sadomasochism", Internet Archive, July 4, 2021 (orig. pub. May 29, 2018), 4 pp., ark:/13960/t2r59ws9q, https://archive.org/download/Societal-Sadomasochism/Redford-Societal-Sadomasochism.pdf , https://ghostarchive.org/archive/a11XH , https://megalodon.jp/2021-0705-1226...omasochism/Redford-Societal-Sadomasochism.pdf .

Below is the abstract to my foregoing article:

""
ABSTRACT: One cannot understand the extreme schizophrenia and sadomasochistic psychopathy of mankind—and hence the appeal that etatism holds for many—without incorporating the crucial insight provided by psychologist Julian Jaynes in his 1976 monograph The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. And here I’m not speaking of so-called “aberrant” human psychology, but rather simply standard human psychology that all humans are born with due to natural evolution.
""

... is the fevered fantasy of those who need to normalize a future they intend to create by arguing, "it was always this way, the Christian-era was just a brief aberration from the normal condition."

As I said above, Original Sin is quite real. See my aforecited article for the details on that.

Aka the mind of Lucifer.

Early Christianity regarded the name Lucifer as a synonym for the name Jesus Christ based upon Revelation 22:16 (cf. 2 Peter 1:19; Revelation 2:28), and early Christians used it as a given name in honor of Jesus Christ because of that.

To conclude that, you will basically need to black out the entire rest of the New Testament with censor-bars, leaving only Matthew 10:16. This is what we in the business call "cherry-picking" or just straight-up twisting of Scripture.

The word used in the New Testament for faith is *pistis* (πίστις), which means persuasion, as in persuaded by the evidence. It further carries the meaning of a ground of belief, a guarantee, an assurance. Faith in the Christian sense is trust in the truth, even when things seem hopeless. It does not mean a lack of rationality in coming to belief in Jesus Christ.

Paul appealed to reason when he wrote in Romans 1:19,20 that an understanding of the natural world leads to knowledge of God (NKJV):

""
because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ...
""

As Paul quite clearly points out, even God's transcendent invisible and eternal attributes can be known by a study of physical reality. After all, the laws of nature are God's laws. In studying God's laws, one is necessarily studying the Intellect of God.

Traditional Christian theology has maintained that God never violates natural law, as God, in His omniscience, knew in the beginning all that He wanted to achieve and so, in His omnipotence, He formed the laws of physics in order to achieve His goal. The idea that God would violate His own laws would mean that God is not omniscient.

The irony of this is that this is the most exact possible description of "scientia est salvatio".

"Scientia est Salvatio" is simply a rewording of John 8:32: "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Christ Himself emphasized knowledge as the path to salvation.

We can agree on that much. God is the God who created the entire world, both heavens and earth, and so is the very Author of everything that can truly be called science.

You can state that we agree on that, yet you certainly do not act as if you believe that. Quite the contrary.

Yet the paradox implied in this versus your main thesis -- that Christianity is a religion based on ignorance -- flies right past you. Amazing.

You're replying to the phantasms of your own mind, rather than the position which I actually imparted. Thereby, ironically, further demonstrating my above post's point.

The noose of eternal death has etched into it, "scientia est salvatio".

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). Christ Himself emphasized knowledge as the path to salvation.

A world that has been convinced that God does not exist is necessarily a Hellish world. By being "Gnostics" in the sense of the commonly-used misnomer of that word, falsely-called "Christians" are going out of their way to purposely create Hell on Earth. Though, again, they do not know that on their conscious level. Yet their demons know.

... is not the name above all names and, thus, there is no salvation to be found in that name. Or any similar quack spouting off-the-cuff gnosticism wrapped in the garbs of pseudo-science.



"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power." -- 1 Corinthians 4:20

And you use a song celebrating a gory and massively mortiferous war in an attempt to emphasize your point. Ironically befitting to the point I made in my above post.

⁂

I have made it as easy as possible for one to obtain veridical understanding into the most crucial fields of sapient knowledge via my own writings. My below articles explain to people (1) theological ethics and soteriology in a comprehensive and logically-coherent manner; (2) how the known laws of physics prove God's existence while demonstrating the exacting and extensive consilience of the New Testament with said physical laws; (3) the nature of God in light of said physical laws; (4) the End Time, the Tribulation, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the foundation of Heaven on Earth, and the universal resurrection of the dead in light of said physical laws; and (5) the End Time in light of the history of the globalist oligarchy's self-termed New World Order world government and world religion agenda.

Item No. 1 is important vis-à-vis salvation for those who maintain that they already believe in Jesus Christ's Godhead. Items Nos. 2-5 are important in letting atheists, believers in other religions, and nominal ersatz "Christians" know that God as described by the New Testament does exist and that the New Testament is true. Items Nos. 2-5 are additionally important in giving believers in Christ a much deeper understanding of God and of the End Time, so that they may be strengthened in their faith during the events to come.

My following articles distill all of the most important aspects of veridical human knowledge into a comprehensive, coherent and unified whole: from theology, physics, science, ethics, legal theory, political theory, economics, sociology, evolutionary psychology, epistemology to history.

Oh, boy. Now we get to see the Great Wall of Text being built! History in the making!

Have you two met before? Clay, meet Lex. Lex, this is Clay.

You two have fun. I'm going to be working on a new, eight inch wide, eight foot tall monitor project.

No, pistis means faith, which is why it is translated by scholars: faith. But hey, you gnostics always peddling that "special secret knowledge". "Super"-knowledge.

Paul appealed to reason when he wrote in Romans 1:19,20 that an understanding of the natural world leads to knowledge of God (NKJV):

Quite the opposite, this present evil world (Gal. 1:4) leads all men further into death and, ultimately, hell. This is why God has specially revealed himself in Scripture and through his Son, Jesus. Without that revelation, we would all perish (John 3:16).

Traditional Christian theology has maintained that God never violates natural law

I'm guessing "natural law" has some super-special meaning that the rest of us mere mortals cannot know -- but if you are saying traditional Christianity denied that God does miracles, you're absolutely incorrect.

"Scientia est Salvatio" is simply a rewording of John 8:32: "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Christ Himself emphasized knowledge as the path to salvation.

... "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). Christ Himself emphasized knowledge as the path to salvation.

Jesus IS the Truth, John 14:6. So yes, the Truth will make you free. But that's not really what you're talking about, you're talking about "another way", John 10:1ff. If you weren't, there would be no need to make the contrast with "traditional Christianity".

And you use a song celebrating a gory and massively mortiferous war in an attempt to emphasize your point. Ironically befitting to the point I made in my above post.

Is it too violent and bloody?

Who is this coming from Edom,
From Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?
Who is this, robed in splendor,
Striding forward in the greatness of his strength?

“It is I, proclaiming victory,
Mighty to save.”

Why are your garments red,
Like those of one treading the winepress?

“I have trodden the winepress alone;
From the nations no one was with me.
I trampled them in my anger
And trod them down in my wrath;
Their blood spattered my garments,
And I stained all my clothing.

It was for me the day of vengeance;
The year for me to redeem had come.

I looked, but there was no one to help,
I was appalled that no one gave support;
So my own arm achieved salvation for me,
And my own wrath sustained me.

I trampled the nations in my anger;
In my wrath I made them drunk
And poured their blood on the ground.”
(Isaiah 63:1-6)

Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand!

The Gospel is not merely an invitation, as it is often presented. The Gospel is a proclamation. Most Americans have never actually heard the Gospel except in some very watered-down form which removes its true import and significance. If you want to hear the Gospel briefly, in its full force, watch the first 15 minutes of this interview:



Jesus is standing at the threshold of this world, flanked by the hosts of heaven. He is saving all who are given to him to be saved (John 6:39), but his eager purpose and desire is to bring flaming vengeance upon his enemies, and to really and truly burn this world down -- the entire creation, both heaven and earth. The Gospel is the imperial proclamation that this world's former ruler, the devil, has been defeated at the Cross and chained by the Resurrection. He, along with all his henchmen and all the wicked men who, led astray in folly and sin, have joined their ranks, are damned to burn forever in the unquenchable flames of the lake of fire. There is no escape from this coming destruction. You can't calculate your way out of it. You can't beg your way out of it. You can't be "good enough" to escape it. You can't power through it by dint of strength. You can't conspire with your buddies and escape it. Scripture tells us that all power in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus the Messiah, and he is returning with that omnipotence to judge the living and the dead. Each and every one of us will stand before him and give a complete accounting of our most secret of secrets, which will be trumpeted from the rooftops. And then we will receive divine justice at the hands of a holy and wrathful God who brooks no excuses. That is the Gospel proclamation.

In his great mercy and love, Jesus has offered amnesty to all who believe in him for salvation. We may escape the eternal flames of hell through repentance of sin, faith in the resurrected Jesus the Messiah for salvation, and obedience to him as new members of his body, the church. And you can be certain that there is NO. OTHER. WAY. All else will be consigned to the flames, with prejudice.

Do not rely on your own intuitions. Do not listen to the smooth-talkers who tell you what you want to hear. Listen to God's Word. Listen to the convicting testimony of God in your heart. The path to life is narrow and difficult, Jesus said. That's how you'll know it's the right path. The easy path, the "default path", the broad path... that is the path that leads to the flames of hell. Flee it! Run to Jesus, and find salvation. There is no other. You think you know the Gospel but, if you haven't read the Book, go read it yourself. I assure you that you will be shocked at how different the Bible is from what you've been led to believe it says. God is coming to destroy this world, not as a metaphor, not as a "spiritual symbolism"... he is coming with real, utter, eternal and wrathful destruction!



Fire is coming!

No, pistis means faith, which is why it is translated by scholars: faith. But hey, you gnostics always peddling that "special secret knowledge". "Super"-knowledge.

You obviously take it as some form of primary religious calling to remain in blithering ignorance. This just begs the question as to what the English word "faith" means in the Christian sense. As I said above, the word used in the New Testament for faith is *pistis* (πίστις), which means persuasion, as in persuaded by the evidence. It further carries the meaning of a ground of belief, a guarantee, an assurance. Faith in the Christian sense is trust in the truth, even when things seem hopeless. It does not mean a lack of rationality in coming to belief in Jesus Christ. For more on this, see:

And again, for those commonly called Gnostics, such an appellation is a misnomer, since such falsely-called "Gnostics" maintain that the physical world is an evil deception by the Demiurge, and hence that there is no point in attempting to gain systematic knowledge of the physical world. By giving up on attempting to better-know the Mind of God via a study of His creation, modern so-called "Christians" are "Gnostics" in this misnomered sense of the word.

Quite the opposite, this present evil world (Gal. 1:4) leads all men further into death and, ultimately, hell. This is why God has specially revealed himself in Scripture and through his Son, Jesus. Without that revelation, we would all perish (John 3:16).

I'm quoting Paul. However, you're reiterating what I've already long ago written on these matters. For example, as I wrote six years ago:

God's existence is a mathematical theorem within standard physics, i.e., the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics). And the aforesaid known physical laws allow for God to perform miracles via the Principle of Least Action. Further, standard physics tells us that God exists as a Trinity: the Final Singularity (i.e., the Omega Point), the All-Presents Singularity (which exists at all times at the edge of the multiverse), and the Initial Singularity (i.e., the beginning of the Big Bang). These three distinct aspects to which perform different physical functions in bringing about and sustaining existence are actually one singularity which connects the entirety of the multiverse: the Cosmological Singularity, of which consists eternally of three hypostases in a homoousian triune, i.e., three distinct entities of the same substance (ousia).

Christian theology is therefore preferentially selected by the known laws of physics due to the fundamentally triune structure of the Cosmological Singularity (which has all the haecceities claimed for God in the major religions) within the Omega Point cosmology, which is deselective of all other major religions. And given God's ability to perform miracles, it is perfectly allowed within standard physics for God to Incarnate and resurrect Himself in order to save the world. Indeed, we should actually expect such an event to occur within human history in order to give mankind knowledge of God in enough degree so as to give them confidence in the human project as the Jaynesian gods of old grew ever-more silent; to impart a conception of God as omnibenevolent and rational as opposed to the ever-bickering and insane Jaynesian gods, hence encouraging the systematic study into the physical world as a world that ultimately makes sense; to imbue a necessary social ethic upon mankind in enough degree so that mankind could rise up and create societies leading to our present technological time; and to give mankind the promise of immortality and salvation, thereby again giving humans assurance in the human endeavor as the old Jaynesian gods went silent.

I'm guessing "natural law" has some super-special meaning that the rest of us mere mortals cannot know -- but if you are saying traditional Christianity denied that God does miracles, you're absolutely incorrect.

You don't have a clue as to what I am saying because you go out of your way to misunderstand and to keep yourself in perpetual ignorance.

Jesus IS the Truth, John 14:6. So yes, the Truth will make you free. But that's not really what you're talking about, you're talking about "another way", John 10:1ff. If you weren't, there would be no need to make the contrast with "traditional Christianity".

So now traditional Christianity--which of course includes Jesus Christ's own teachings and actions--is an aberration of Christianity. "[A]nother way", as you say. Interesting.

Is it too violent and bloody?

Indeed it is. If the goal was actually to free the slaves, that could have easily been done with likely no bloodshed or loss of life. Simply issue million-dollar death-warrants for all slaveholders while allowing the collectors of the warrants to settle in Northern states. There would have been self-assembled armies of poor Southern white folks coming to collect the literal heads of slavemasters. A million dollars in those days would have been a pittance for the US government, yet would divide nicely among many headhunters, making them all rich. Slaveholders would have quickly publicly denounced their property claims over their former slaves, making it unlikely that there would even be any need to pay-up for such death-warrants.

The rejoinder might be that two can play that game, but not really. What's the Confederacy going to do, issue death-warrants for some nebulous blob of rich Northerners who aren't even tied to easily-identifiable plantations? It works in one direction, but not the other.

Yet that of course was not the primary goal of US President Abraham Lincoln, but rather the maintenance of the US government's power and territory. Lincoln himself was a white supremacist who, after the war, was in the process of enacting his plan to have the freed black slaves shipped to Africa. Though Lincoln's plan was interrupted by John Wilkes Booth.

I've got a slew of these techniques on how to easily win all wars with no fatalities, and on the cheap. There's only one actual General on this planet; the rest are at best specifics. Oh, I don't doubt their ability to produce tons of corpses, it's just that they've never been trained on how to produce genuine long-lasting peace. Whereas I've been trained by the best: myself.

Though therein lies the rub: there's no real money, let alone power, to be had via my techniques. So there's nothing in it for the ruling elites.

I mean, other than not going to Hell. Yet they appear dedicated to Hell.

Hi!

English-Greek Lexicon -- you're off by about 300 years. Saying that pistis really means "persuasion" in the New Testament because its earlier usage leaned that way, is like saying that "try" really means "test" in modern English because it used to be used primarily in that way 300 years ago. "The applicant has arrived for the interview." "OK, great, I shall now try them." Three centuries is a long time and nobody speaks that way anymore.

In the New Testament, pistis just means faith.

You're being quite daft. Liddell and Scott's A Greek-English Lexicon was first published in 1843, yet it concerns ancient Greek. Not to mention Strong's The Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.

Regardless, this begs the question of what "faith" means in the Christian sense. The word used in the New Testament for faith is *pistis* (πίστις), which means persuasion, as in persuaded by the evidence. It further carries the meaning of a ground of belief, a guarantee, an assurance. Faith in the Christian sense is trust in the truth, even when things seem hopeless. It does not mean a lack of rationality in coming to belief in Jesus Christ.

Paul appealed to reason when he wrote in Romans 1:19,20 that an understanding of the natural world leads to knowledge of God (NKJV):

""
because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ...
""

As Paul quite clearly points out, even God's transcendent invisible and eternal attributes can be known by a study of physical reality. After all, the laws of nature are God's laws. In studying God's laws, one is necessarily studying the Intellect of God.

Traditional Christian theology has maintained that God never violates natural law, as God, in His omniscience, knew in the beginning all that He wanted to achieve and so, in His omnipotence, He formed the laws of physics in order to achieve His goal. The idea that God would violate His own laws would mean that God is not omniscient.

No Bible-believing Christian has given up on anything, you're just projecting.

Which of course explains why the mass of so-called "Christians" repeatedly carelessly go along with whatever new genocidal project the global oligarchy come up with for them. Because they're so connected with God.

No need to actually know one's fundament from a hole in the ground. After all, nowhere does the Bible give directions on how to wipe it. So to know such matters is obviously a Satanic conspiracy. Just repeat some mantras one gleaned from the Bible while purposely going out of one's way to misunderstand them. That's worked out well--i.e., if one's goal is Hell on Earth.

Other than that it is obvious nonsense...

The absurdity of reality (as so-regarded by the apes called humans) means that one cannot veridically use commonsense as a guidepost to science, since all the fundamental physics theories are extremely counterintuitive and anticommonsensical.

That is one of the most remarkable aspects of science: about how contrary to commonsense it is. For instance, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are so strange and contrary to commonsense that no one thought to rebuke even abstract notions of them before they were experimentally developed, precisely because they are so contrary to commonsense that no one even contemplated their vague possibility before they were actually scientifically formulated.[1] That is: physical reality isn't merely strange; rather, it is so utterly strange that humans can't even imagine it without first deriving it via empirical science.

This has been the singular aim of the grand project of the anti-christ anti-gospel, from the day Jesus first spoke those words. Trans-humanism, etc. "Another way."

Don't worry about it so much. This isn't going to be left up to any human choices. If it were left up to human choices, they'd be stuck in all-ages dismembering gang-rape Hell for eternity. That has to do with their Original Sin, and hence their ape-hatred of Truth, i.e., God. As the old song by Aphrodite's Child states, "You got no choice!" That is, regarding actual Intelligence taking over. Though if any individuals desire to go to full-on Hell, they still can. Yet that's a choice they can only make for themselves.

Slavery is coming to an end. The real slavery, which is slavery of the spirit. Its end is soon.

The Bible has many different books written by many different authors. Yet nowhere in the Bible do I read where any of its authors recommended a war to benefit power-hungry ruling elitists meanwhile emancipation could have been readily achieved, but by means that actually benefited the common masses, though to no gain for the oligarchy.

There are massively gory consequences to be had for massively purposeful stupidity, which you have strangely enough made an actual religion out of: Stupidianity.

1. Well ... not quite. There are Yeshua Ha'Mashiach's words, in addition to the rest of the New Testament, which I detail in my above "Physics of God" article. And Edgar Allan Poe, but that's another story. Though these sources, far from contesting such now-empirical physics, instead strongly endorsed what modern standard physics tells us.

Summary of the thread so far:

Me: Hey, Clown World can be destroyed. It will be destroyed by our praise and worship of God, who will rouse himself to vengeance against the wicked, casting them into the flames of hell.

[ClaytonB]

Worship is the nuclear weapon that God has given us against evil!

It is time for everyone who has not joined forces with Satan -- whether secretly through the occult, or openly, or even through an apathetic rebellion against God's truth in Jesus -- to get off the fence and prepare themselves for real, pervasive and intensive warfare with evil. Satan's biggest lie of the modern Age is the pretense that he doesn't mind the church. We're supposed to believe he's OK with Christians now, just so long as everybody stays in their lane. In fact, Satan will probably just fade away like a forgotten myth. He goes out with a whimper, not a bang. Or so we are to believe.

But nothing can be further from the truth. No, the greatest persecution of the church comes at the end. Jesus explained this in excruciating detail in Matthew 24. Almost the entire Book of Revelation is devoted to the times and circumstances of the greatest persecution of the righteous at the quickly-approaching end of the Age, and God's wrathful response to that, which the church will certainly witness!

Are you ready? Do you have a grounding in Scripture? Do you have the weapons of spiritual warfare ready at hand? (Eph. 6:10ff) Are you prepared in your mind, heart and spirit to face a persecution like nothing that has ever happened? Have you hidden the Word of God in your heart, in preparation for the day of evil? Have you tied your boots and put on your belt, ready to flee Egypt? All the guns and ammo in the world won't save you. Even if you had F-15s and nukes, they wouldn't do you any good. They won't even do the US government any good, let alone private citizens. Your survivalist skills will not save you. You will not be judged on your marksmanship. Even your physical bravery will be of little use. The coming spiritual war on all who do not belong to the Antichrist will shatter all categories of warfare which humans have understood until now:

People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” (Revelation 13:4)

After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns. (Daniel 7:7)

Get ready!

They Try To Block This Video Too Then THIS Happens

"Hate-speech" lawsuits are the dark horse coming for the American church. I speculate that they could potentially silence or "turn Woke" 50+% of churches in short order with a wave of lawsuits, which they are surely planning.

Whether you're religious or not, understand that the church (yes, even the milquetoast mainstream American churches) are a firewall between the world as you know it, and Wokism-to-the-infinity. The modern world is a very different place, culturally, than the world 500+ years ago was. That culture (paganism) was the default, we are the ones fighting gravity. Everything you never imagined to be possible in the modern world is held back by a few inches of spiritual plate-armor called "the church."

Clown World, Chaos Theory and Immanentizing the Eschaton

In the hit 2004 film, The Butterfly Effect, the popular consciousness was introduced to one of the key concepts of chaos theory called SDIC or "sensitive dependence on initial conditions". This is math-speak for a "a tiny change in the input can have a huge, unpredictable effect on the output." The concept is dramatized by Ashton Kutcher's character (Evan) who has a psychic power that allows him to move back and forward on his own life's timeline, altering the course of his life by changing his own past. The following video gives a great summary of the movie, except the bit at the end about Sartre (hint: the solution to the existential problems presented in TBE is Jesus, not Sartre).



As Evan tries to fix the problems in his life by intervening in his own past, the moves he makes only end up increasing the scale of the mess he is trapped in. Each new intervention compounds the problems created by the last.

There is a concept called immanentizing the eschaton. Wiki says, "In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton is a generally pejorative term referring to attempts to bring about utopian conditions in the world, and to effectively create heaven on earth... In contemporary terminology this process is sometimes described as "hastening the eschaton" or "hastening the apocalypse". In this sense it refers to a phenomenon related to millenarianism and the specific Christian form of millennialism which is based on a particular reading of the Christian Bible's Book of Revelation especially popular among evangelicals in the United States." The word "immanentize" just means "make real" or "bring close".

The reason that immanental eschatology is regarded as pejorative is something along the lines that the primary goal of the status quo social order is to keep things "stable", and immanentalism is inherently unstable. Ultimately, everyone who believes the Bible is an immanentalist. Jesus said, "Behold, I am coming soon", and this is the very definition of immanentalism. Those who see the eschaton as imminent necessarily see it as immanental (becoming real). They are viewed as a destabilizing force by the status quo establishment. Regardless of their intentions, this idea that the world is coming to an end must itself be put to a stop. This is the reason for categorizing right-wing conservatives as "potential domestic terrorists", or hunting down "vaccine misinformation", or contact-tracing J6 attendees, etc. It's all part of one, over-arching framework in which belief in "the end of the world" is the thing that must itself be stamped out.

The tragic irony of all ironies, however, is that the Clown World Establishment, in its mad drive for "stability" and to quash belief in the end of the world, is creating the very monster it fears most, in Butterfly Effect fashion. It is not we who believe in the end of the world who are bringing about the end of the world. No, it is the Clown World operators themselves who, step by step, through intervention after intervention, are inexorably bringing about their own greatest fear. Like Evan in The Butterfly Effect, they are building their own hell, with their own hands.

We help them on their way by worshiping and praising God.

Its closely-related cousin is accelerationism, which is very much in vogue these days. Wiki says, "Accelerationism [is an] ideology that calls for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformations, otherwise referred to as "acceleration"." Something like "drive it till the wheels fall off", preferably as fast as possible.

If worship is the nuclear weapon against the rising Beast World Order, then repentance and holiness are the rest of the weapons of mass-destruction.

But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath. (Deut. 4:29-31)

“In those days, at that time,” declares the Lord, “the people of Israel and the people of Judah together will go in tears to seek the Lord their God. They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and bind themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten. (Jer. 50:4,5)

National prayer. National worship. National repentance. These are spiritual weapons of mass destruction, far more powerful than any weapon wielded by any military, or all of them added together. I do not think that the US is yet to the point of repentance. But we can pray that God will bring repentance to our nation and, when we does, we can expect to see God's mercy. Until then, however, we are going to witness increasing distress and despair because the root-cause of Clown World ... is sin. Sin is the thing that has got to go. We can choose to keep our sin and continue sinking ever deeper into the Clown World abyss, or we can choose to reject sin and escape. Those are the stakes. Everything else is just a sideshow.



God's power is nothing like human power, or the imaginary "power" of the idols. God's holiness is his power. God is powerful because God is holy. This has never been well understood, but it is less understood nowadays than it has ever been in the church Age. We too easily imagine God as something like a "superhero" with "superpowers". No, this is just a carnal fantasy. The power of God is what is upholding every particle of your body, every particle of the world around you, and every arch of the entire vastness of the heavens above you, and much more that you do not know about and cannot even imagine. All of this is upheld by the power of God and would disappear in a moment should God wish it. And that power is not the blind violence of a raging Zeus... it is the power that comes from holiness. God's holiness literally holds up the pillars of creation. This is why we are called not merely to forsake sin but to "be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect." (Matt. 5:48)

We are on a crash-course with a spiritual cataclysm of unprecedented proportions... maybe it's the Apocalypse, or maybe just a prelude to that, either way, we need more people waking up spiritually. And fast. This is coming at us like a bullet-train...
