Utopia

I was asked to describe the Utopia of the mortgage industry. I liked the challenge but had to admit it an idea not possible. As long as the industry is built around debt based currency there is no Utopia. The Federal Reserve Note or digital equivalent credit are of no value and not redeemable into any value. Here’s the problem; if something has no value and is beyond redemption what is there to salvage let alone perfect? Is there a compromise, a coexistence of truth and a lie? There can only be movement one direction at a time. If the truth is prevailing the lie diminishes in equal proportions. Can Dorean bring absolute truth, I think not. I do think it can change the prevailing directional flow. Is this Utopia? No! Perhaps it is a necessary step for more powerful champions to leap from. I know it is destiny for this moment in history and that is the extent of my vision. Utopia must wait until evil has completed its course. We will see this in my lifetime. Do we sit like corks subject to every whim of the evil current or like a rock make our presence known and make a few ripples or back current? This is no Utopia but to me appears as duty. Utopia is not built on confidence but builds confidence itself. It is valuable itself and not a token, chit or note absent of value. Utopia may be dream in the land of fiction but exist in reality. Perhaps the entrance to Utopia is the same gate that exits fiction.

ATTENTION! PLEASE TAKE NOTICE!

This is a message from the DataLinx Data-Research Corp. for

At this time we have very
important information pertaining to these books and pertaining

once was and will immediately surpass and completely “replace”
the Cracking The Code books as the NEW “PRIMARY SOURCE” for all
future UCC redemptive filings and process. This notice comes to

"Utopia may be dream in the land of fiction but exist in reality."

Really? Where in reality does it exist.

I use Federal Reseve notes everyday. They buy real food for my family's table, also purchased with FRNs, earned by the real value of my labor.

They are the same notes you collected from each and every so-called client and then sent to an offshore bank somewhere? Why did you deposit something of no value, Kurt?

You talk out both sides of your face, and neither makes sense.

"Perhaps it is a necessary step for more powerful champions to leap from."

More powerful than you, God's chosen one, given this mission 20 years prior? How can this be?

WILL IT ALL MATTER???

at the rate this coutry is going, will it matter how many fed reserve nots we have, or gold, or silver or ??? for that matter???

some alternative media are reporting tht the korean missile flew for over 7 minutes, not 42 secs.

it seems like WWIII which officially began on 9/11 is about to get started in earnest.

from a book by an illuminati defector:

WWIII is begins when....

1) korea invades s. korea

2) china invades taiwan

3) middle east explodes with arab countries invading israel

???time to move to costa rica, buy a house and put it in another ME program??

make NO mistake about it, YOU have not heard the end of the korean missle business. the ptb are preaparing the sheeple for something BIG coming soon to a theater near you.

may the HS guide you thru it sagely...i mean safely. on second thought, maybe i should say sagely.....

N.K. long-range missile flew for 7 minutes, not 42 seconds: S.Korean military officials reveal



YONHAP News


SEOUL, July 6 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's long-range Taepodong-2 missile travelled for about 7 minutes after liftoff before it plunged into the East Sea, a top South Korean military officer said Thursday.

The North's multistage missile was initially believed to have gone down 42 seconds after it blasted off from its launching pad in the reclusive country on Wednesday, sparking questions over whether the flight was a technical failure or was aborted.

aw, shucks. moogie knows I love him, right brother man?

Why else would I be concerned about his Salvation?

As for your latest points, moogie:

I don't want to exterminate anyone, including Mormons. I just don't want folks to believe that the Mormon 4-lane highway = Jesus' footpath to Salvation. Mormon doctrine flies in the face of the Word of God, just as the other cults do.

Were those Cashiers Checks purchased with Chucky Cheese tokens? Somehow, I think your worthless FRNs bought them and when they were cashed were converted back to FRNs. Nice try though.

"STEALING WORKS REALLY WELL TOO. WHOEVER SAID STEALING WASN'T HARD WORK NEVER LEARNED HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO COVER ONE LIE AFTER ANOTHER."

Sounds like the voice of experience, moogie. Careful not to get caught, although you can start your very own blog and whine about the injustice system if you do. Not to worry, I'll visit your blog, too.

SOP, how far did the missle travel, in 7 minutes, in relation to Hawaii, any idea?

Sounds like we should be testing our defense system, don't it?

Might be time to replace the tin foil beanies with hard hats, y'all.

nice when we all love one 'nother, aint it??


"...love your enemies; bless those who persecute you and despise you and use you; of what good is it to love only those that love you; anyone can do this, but to love those who hate you...."


now that is the mark of a TRUE christian (with HS power); 'cause the only way you can love someone who hates you is if the HS has given you this power, otherwise, you cant possibly do this.....

if you dont believe it, then walk up to someone and start beating on them, and see HOW MUCH THEY LOVE YOU!! ;-]

I GUESSED YOU MISSED THE PART IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT SAID IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE THAT JESUS SWEAT GREAT DROPS OF BLOOD. IS THAT ALSO SHOCKING TO YOU? THAT'S WHERE THE ATONEMENT TOOK PLACE, NOT ON THE CROSS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED OVER THE CENTURIES, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM A SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD. JESUS COULD HAVE DIED ANOTHER WAY & STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAVIOUR. CRUCIFIXION WASN'T NECESSARY, IT WAS ONLY NECESSARY THAT HE DIED AFTER HIS VICTORY OVER THE DEVIL THE NIGHT BEFORE IN GETHSEMANE BY TAKING UPON HIMSELF THE SINS OF THE WORLD & THE PENALTY OF THOSE SINS.

****************************
mogel, it is clearly stated over and over in the Bible that Christ died for our sins.

Paul addresses the issue of those who discount the importance of Christ's sacrafice;

1Cr 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.


Is the preaching of the cross foolishness to Mormons? It appears so. What then is implied of the fate of Mormons (as well as others to whom the preaching of the cross is foolishness)?

I really had not given much thought as to what Mormonism was all about. After all, they use the name Jesus Christ in their more modern LDS name, which gives the impression they must somehow be Christian and, therefore, saved by the blood of the Lamb.

I still know little about the Mormons, but what I have gleaned thus far leads me to believe that they are the type of organization that Paul warns us against in the Gospels.

I'm sitting in front of the computer with a pair of panty hose on my head because I have a headache. Is this a sign that the end times are near? HOSEa in the highest?

son of a prophet said...

in case anyone is interested, my interpretation of scripture tells me that there will be a rapture.

this will come before the tribulation which is gods wrath against man.

bible says...."i will keep you from the hour of temptation that shall come to try the whole earth..."

the saints (true believers) are held blameless, as their belief in yeshua gets them off the hook, thus yeshua takes them out before the appearance of the a/c, whom the whole earth will be forced to worship. as christians cannot do this, yeshua takes them out ahead of time.

i have debated this many times in many different forums and came to the conclusion that what you believe is what you believe and its useless to quote scripture to make ones point, as contradicting ineterpretaions can be made.

its just up to the HS what interpretaion you are ready to receive and are qualified to understand.

but during the "time of jacobs trouble" god will be dealing strictly with jews.

best book, bar none, that i have ever read on the future events (and i have read many) is

"THINGS TO COME" by J. DWIGHT PENTECOST

very old, but if you can get a copy, its worht its weight in gold; laid out really clear for anyone to understand.

___________________________
Yes, Nemo, that's why he is called our Heavenly Father, because God the Father is the Father of all Spirit Beings. Why do you think Jesus was called "The Firstborn"? Have you ever heard the expression: "Church of the Firstborn"? He was literally the first Spirit born & because of that was able to spiritually advance faster than the rest of us due to having more time. Haven't you ever heard the expression an "old spirit"?

************************

old spirit? I don't think so.

O.K. - Does that mean that you, me, and Jesus, Mary, Lucifer, etc, were all brothers and sisters?

neodemes said...

mogel said:

It led him to say: "Why hast thou forsaken me"

*********************************

During His time, it was common practice for rabbis to recite the opening lines of scripture - folks were well versed enough to know the scripture in full and in context.

Hence, He is calling to mind:

Psalm 22:1
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

This psalm prophecied the death of Christ, on the cross, long before crucifixion was practiced

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

There is no basis to believe atonement happend in the Garden. It is mentioned, what, twice in the bible? How much more emphasis is placed on the cross?

Things to Come : A Study in Biblical Eschatology by Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost (Hardcover - Aug 1, 1965)

son of a prophet said...

from neos hypertext site on PENTECOSTs "THINGS TO COME"...




Still the best book on the end times, November 5, 1999
Reviewer: Marc Axelrod (Potter, Wi USA) - See all my reviews

This is a very thorough study of the end times. The first part of the book is a defense of the grammatical-historical interpretation of Bible prophecy. Then Pentecost dives right in with a survey of the four major biblical covenants, and a study of Israel in prophecy, the Gentiles in prophecy, and the church in prophecy. He includes a detailed discussion of the timing of the rapture, the events of the seven year tribulation period, and the second coming of Christ, followed by the 1000 year Millennial reign of Christ. He then has a helpful section about the eternal state.

It must be stated that this is a 600 page heavy duty textbook. It is not like reading a Frank Peretti novel or a Left Behind book. This is for the hard core Bible prophecy student, and it is still THE end times book to get. Pray that someone will wake up and revise it for the 21st century and include chapters critiquing the prewrath rapture view and the preterist view.

Priceless foundation for students of Biblical prophecy., May 7, 2003
Reviewer: M. D Roberts (Gwent, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This is a priceless foundation for anyone interested in, or embarking upon a study of Biblical prophecy.
This book has correctly been described as being of encylopaedic proportions. Indeed, comprising of over 600 pages, it is as comprehensive a study in Biblical prophecy as there is currently available.

I was first drawn to the works of Dwight Pentecost through his excellent book entitled "Your Adversary The Devil". The manner of his approach to the latter subject and the provision of such a well written and in-depth discussion really impressed me.

Having studied Biblical prophecy for many years, I was thrilled to discover that Pentecost had also written a comprehensive study on Bible prophecy as well. Having now acquired this work, I have not been disappointed.

Other reviewers here have commendably outlined in detail the topics covered in this study so I will not go along that path. Suffice to say that the content is exemplary.

Pentecost approaches Biblical prophecy and the End Times' from the perspective of a Pre-Tribulation' Rapture of the Church. He eloquently presents his own interpretation of what many see as perhaps the controversial subject of the timing of the Rapture itself.

I have read a number of books where individual authors disagree about the latter aspect of prophecy. Taking everything into consideration, I personally feel that this controversial' issue should be approached and discussed prayerfully and in love, not allowing the matter to prove divisive and thus giving ground to the Adversary.

With the latter in mind, may I respectfully suggest that students of Biblical prophecy also make reference to another excellent, encyclopaedic study, (itself exceeding 500 pages) by Robert Van Kampen, entitled "The Sign". Van Kampen's study is also a thorough, in-depth study, yet approaches the Rapture with a slightly different interpretation which places it within the Tribulation itself. Anyone basing their studies on these two books will find an absolute wealth of information at their fingertips to assist them with their research.

In closing perhaps I could also suggest another extremely useful aid to study, in the book by John F. Walvoord entitled "Every Prophecy Of The Bible". Thank you.

Definitive work in Dispensational Eschatology, October 28, 2005
Reviewer: B. Breen "canuckster1127" (Sterling, VA USA) - See all my reviews

I read this book as a requirement to ordination back in the late 1980's. It was not an easy work to read through. It is encyclopedic in nature and very academic and dry in terms of it's approach although no doubt, one could find it exciting if you are passionate about dispensational eschatology. (I'm not sure I want meet someone like that, but I'm sure there must be a few out there!) ;)

The value of the book is as a reference and means to study for the student or pastor who wishes to thoroughly work through the Biblical references.

Don't expect very much ambiguity on the part of Dwight Pentecost. You will get dogmatic and definitive answers to the different minute elements of prophesy and eschatology (study of the end times) with little or no room for differing approaches and understandings. It is not a work to go to if you are looking for a spectrum of differing opinions. You will get dispensational, premillennial, pre-trib doctrine and it will be presented to you as unassailably true.

The issue in rating the value of the book is not whether you agree or disagree with the positions espoused. The value is that you will get what the book advertises itself to be and know what the foundation is for the teaching presented.

If you want a broader view you must look elsewhere or supplement your reading with other sources. Indeed, any serious student should do that, even those in primary agreement with Pentecost's exhaustive and dogmatic positions.

4 stars given instead of 5, not because of the qualities of the book, but because even an academic tome of this nature could have been written to read easier and smoother. Sympathies are extended to any who are required to read it from cover to cover. As a reference it is an important and valuable work for any student of the eschaton to have in their reference library, which is where it rightfully belongs.

Clearly the most definitive work on the Last Days, May 3, 2005
Reviewer: Eugene V. Shaparenko (Pismo Beach, CA.) - See all my reviews

With all sorts of excellent material on the last days now on bookshelves, this is the one I still turn to to understand both the basics and advanced aspects of each segment of the last days.

I am persuaded that Dr. Pentacost was truly led by the Spirit of God in penning this impressive volume.

It will always be attacked by various seminarians, liberals, moderates and disoriented evangelical Christians as being too "cut and dried" for general consumption.

Pentacost clearly holds his positions by not bending to the type of random spiritualization and allegorical interpretations which have come to characterize many of the "different gospels" which are being developed by various intelligencia who are claiming "additional insight" into the plain Word of God.

An indispensible part of both pastor and layperson's libraries.

It's impressive if you can't read sources...., April 23, 2005
Reviewer: Samuel M Smith (Fort Worth, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I read this book as a requirement for a class in eschatology in seminary. Pentecost block-quotes other authors for about 60 percent of his text, at which point he could've just provided a bibliography. There is little originality in thought here. Pentecost surveys the narrow world of premillenial dispensationalism and says anyone who disagrees with his viewpoint does not take the text "literally" and ignores the "clear, plain meaning of scripture." But his hermeneutic is a bit inconsistent. He insists that various parts of the apocalyptic imagery presented in Revelation, Daniel and other parts of the Bible must be taken literally.

But he then turns around and says the odd beasts in the Revelation are figurative. Okay...who's not being "literal" here?

Like too many evangelical theologians, Pentecost has no concept of how apocalyptic worked in the Second Temple period. I would imagine that, having translated the Testaments of the XII Patriarchs, I've done more background work than he did in the area (unless reading the notes in the Scofield Bible counts).

Instead, he spends all of his time demonizing those blasted amillenialists. An enormous waste of time and energy.

Then again, the book is almost 600 pages long, and uneducated people are always impressed when they see you reading something large. But for my money, you could learn more about how to live like Christ in the light of his imminent coming (the point of eschatology) by reading an even bigger book you probably already own: the yellow one with restaurant listings.

dont expect anything but the HS to tell you whether or not this book is true or not. thats why theres all different interpretations on the rapture; but the HS gives the truth only to those who are worthy.

(ps- the HS has told me that this book is the way that its going to be; pre-trib rapture and millenial kingdom to follow after the trib)

hmmm....waht size cake will i need to celebrate my 1000th birthday during the millenial kingdom that will hold 1000 candles!!? lol

maybe my mortgage will be paid up by then and banks will issue 900 year mtgs.....hehe......

Mogel said,

It comes from the scripture that says "two will be in the field working, and one will be taken and the other one left".

Course the rapture crazed Christians don't understand that the one that was taken was the one that was destroyed by fire or other catastrophe at the 2nd coming. They got it TOTALLY BACKWARDS. You see the one that was left and NOT TAKEN was the one that ISN'T destroyed AND KILLED, but stays on earth longer through the great millenium that has been spoken of & prophesied which is a 1000 years of peace on the earth with Jesus as the governmental & religious leader and King and lawgiver.



Yes Mogel, You hit the nail right on the head. The average Christian does indeed have that one completly and utterly convoluted.
That is what I an talking about when I speak of Greek mindset vs Hebrew mindset

Here is an example of not knowing the proper context of the transalation.

Remember that there is no punctuation in Greek or Hebrew.
When the scribes were translating this particular passage they put the comma in were they thought it sounded best.

Read it with the pause in another place and the whole meaning changes.

And Jesus said unto him. Verily I say unto thee Today (pause) thou shalt be with me in paradise.

In this changes the entire time element of the passage.

Back to once saved, always saved...

John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand

2 Corinthians

21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.


Ephesians 1:13
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit

1 Peter 1:

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Salvation isn't brought by a magical incantation, saying the words without changing the heart. If one pays lip service to faith and then walks away from it, it can be argued that the individual was never saved in te first place.

We don't become perfect people upon accepting the Gift of Salvation, incapable of sinning for the rest of our mortal lives. If we stumble, we are not doomed to damnation.


down,

I can't argue the merits of your punctuation point. But, I don't buy the explanation you present.

I believe He was saying emphatically that on THAT day, the thief would be with Jesus in Paradise

I can't argue the merits of your punctuation point. But, I don't buy the explanation you present.

I believe He was saying emphatically that on THAT day, the thief would be with Jesus in Paradise


Of course, each one believes what they WANT to believe regardless of the facts presented. I understand that

Conspiracy

Nancy Jo Sales / Vanity Fair | July 9 2006

Comment: This is another fair piece in the mainstream media on the 9/11 truth movement. It shows the impact of the internet, highlighting how Dylan Avery's film has hit number one on google video.

With $6,000 and a laptop computer, three kids from upstate New York made a documentary about 9/11 that spread across the Internet and threw millions for a loop.

Back to once saved, always saved...
------------------------------


i agree with this statement; ie., one cannot 'lose' their salvation.

the real question is...'was one saved to begin with'

there are those who 'come close', even to the very precipice and then fall away...

Heb 6

fact is taht today, most are not saved (99%), but as i have previosly stated, they are 'elect'.

in the times we live in today, 'elect' means that they are like the thief on the cross, that will be saved at the last instant.

most are not saved today because we are not undergoing the suffereing like yeshua and the apostles.

we cannot live an 'easy life' and expect to be given HS power and wisdom that the apostles and martyrs had.

they had to undergo persecution 24/7, which we do not have to undergo today.

did they suffer to make it 'easy'
for us to be saved and still enjoy life??

ABSLOLUTELY NOT!!!

NO SUFFERING, NO SALVATION!

i am NOT saying to self flagellate oneself, just that when state and religion merged, that was the end of persecution, which made it harder to do the suffering (purging) if you will to obtain salvation.

now most suffering is done at 'catch up time' just before death when one is sick and relies on modern medicine and technology (sorcery) believing that this will make them better. all it does is bring the required suffering to be purged of sin to obtain salvation.

check it out; "pharmacopeia" came from the root word "sorcery" in latin.

drugs are mere chemicals for sorcery; to entrance or enchant

'A Scanner Darkly' Is Sci-Fi Come True

Hugh Hart / SF Chronicle | July 10 2006

Shortly after he began adapting Philip K. Dick's drug surveillance saga "A Scanner Darkly," Austin filmmaker Richard Linklater imagined the late sci-fi writer having a laugh at his expense.

"I was out here in Los Angeles briefly, 2 in the morning, not a car in sight, you hit an intersection as the light turns red," he says. "Boom, a few weeks later this $265 traffic ticket shows up in the mail with my license plate and a picture of my face -- they tracked me down. The logical next step is, 'OK, we've scanned you biometrically, we know you jaywalked. Fifty bucks, please.' And I could just hear Philip K. Dick chuckling in my head: 'See? I told you -- the future.' "

The "him" in the verse below refers to Jesus...what things did He create?

Colossians 16
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.

Nemo, Maybe I'm missing your point. I agree Satan cannot or did not create anything. I also agree Jesus created the world under the direction of his Father.
Are you somehow tying in Colossians 16 with Eph. 6: 12 & trying to come to a certain conclusion?

***********************************

I just don't see that Jesus can be both Creator of and brother to the principality know as Lucifer.
