THE YEAR OF THE RAT

This is Wednesday the day after super-dooper Tuesday, and also the beginning of the year of the Rat. I think we all know the results from last night. Obama won more states but Hillary Clinton won the bigger, more important states, such as California. California was called for Hillary by the networks “much sooner than expected” because Obama did so poorly out here. Obama did better in the caucus states. Now they say the number of delegates separating them is fifty-five, or something, which means the race goes on, and could go right up to the convention. Pennsylvania will be the last state to vote on April 22^nd. or something. Hopefully when Texas and Ohio vote things will become clearer. On the Republican side you have the dingbat right such as Rush Limbaugh, Mary Madelain and Anne Coulter backing Romney. And people are talking about the “man crush” that Huckibee appears to have on Mc Cain because he will never attack him. But they both can’t stand Romney. Romney tended to win states in the far north such as Minisota, North Dekoda, and Montana, and also the farther west the better, such as Utah. Huckibee won in West Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and his native Arkansas. It would seem that Texas is ripe for the picking. Huckibee was very competitive in Missouri being virtually tied with Mc Cain at 33%. What was impressive was the number of states where Romney came in third. Mc Cain of course won all the big states such as New York which have a winner take all primary. Now you pretty much know the picture. I generally toggled between KNBC and KABC last night.

I’d like to talk at length about something “Jesus Christ” said last Sunday. He said an axiom of argument for anything is “If you’re going to make an assertion you better offer conclusive proof”. I’m intrigued to hear that Jesus Christ no longer accepts Faith as a validation for a belief. Actually I have my own “test” for things. Jesus was saying that you should not join any organization such as the Masons, which might violate your Christian precepts. I have precepts of my own and I’d like to share them. First of all how does my faith deal with Fear. For Jesus you are to be afraid of everything, including the Masons. Because there’s always these “threats to your faith” out there and you need to be vigilant constantly to guard against them. In other words you are to spend your life in fear hiding from people and their beliefs least one of these might contaminate you. And the best way to do this is just stay in your own church surrounded by people who think exactly the same way you do. Christianity flunks the fear test. Next, I am against any religion that believes in the doctrine of blood atonement. This is a sacrifice of the innocent for the absolution of sins of the guilty. You don’t sacrifice one life for the welfare of another. Jesus flunks this test right off the bat. Then there is what I call the “resurrection and the life” test”. It has been said “Nobody has died and come back from the death and lived to tell about it”. This statement is still true. It can’t really be said that Jesus conquered death because he told us nothing of what we really want to know and that is “What is life like on the Other Side?” For this you have to go to Sylvia Browne. Christianity flunks the resurrection and the life test. Then there is the Truth test. Does Christianity respect Truth? If you went into a time machine and traveled backward in time 25 years and told people the future would they believe you? No, they would not. They most certainly would not believe things I claimed would happen to me. Then there is the “Elder brother” test. Jesus once compared Christianity to oxen and a young ox learning from being teamed with an older, more experienced ox. And yet if I were to announce that I was going to imitate a certain Calvary pastor in this local area, he would be horrified. Because he has so many bad personality traits, and in his saner moments he knows it. Teachers love to point to their anointing. But the test of the worth of a teacher is whether he is able to “perfect” the student into the ways he should go. Teachers are to “perfect the saints to the work of the minestry”. This Calvary pastor couldn’t care less whether I have been helped by his teaching. The only thing that’s important to him is – is he praised by one and all and put on a pedestal and virtually worshipped by his congregation and idolized by his wife, his children, and his grand children. Finally there is what I call the Gnostic test. To be an agnostic is merely to claim that you have not had a personal “Experience” with God. You, in other words, “Haven’t met him”. The largest organization of agnostics in the world is Dyspensationalist Christians. This is the branch of Christianity that Jesus of KFI is a member of that basically says God doesn’t interact with people any more. Prophecy is dead. (Just like Roosevelt’s policies) The gifts of the spirit are dead, which include tongues, healing, knowledge and wisdom. The idea of knowing God personally strikes a Dyspensationalist as blasphamus because They are the ones who want to be deified. As I have said- - the strength in Jesus divinity isn’t self evident, but rather in the infallibility according those “angry old men” in the fourth century who wrote the Niciene creed. It is they who made Jesus divine, and they alone who have the Holy Spirit, and beyond them God is said to be dead if you are expecting an “experience” with God. These people preach endlessly against “Having an experience” with God and have all sorts of rationalizations against it. The biggest driving force is that these pastors want to themselves be looked to as God and if They didn’t say it; God didn’t say it. Nothing gets these people matter than to quote the Bible to them. Because they will make references to “playing scriptural ping pong” and quoting things improperly not having studied that all important science of “Hermenutics”. If you think Scientology is mysterious, you ought to try Hermanutics. Since it’s they who gave Jesus divinity, it means Jesus’ works didn’t. So don’t copy Jesus’ works. Gene Scott when he was alive repuliated the ‘What would Jesus Do” slogan as invalid for his church. Jesus isn’t to be emulated, like an elder brother, but rather worshipped. He did what he did because he was Divine, but since you are not divine, don’t care try and emulate what he did.

I would like to talk a bit about the last file and the big bang theory. Feel free to go back and review if you want. The things due to the general and special theories of relativity-- the big bang is impossible because you would never perceive it because space itself would be confined to however big you think the Universe was before it exploded. Space would be going around in circles and vastly shrunk, so you would never perceive the concentration of matter. Further more if you had that much matter in one place there would be innumerable “black holes” to the matter would leak out into sub-universes. I was talking about photons and how when matter meets anti matter photons go off in the opposite direction. Can sub-atomic matter be a “bridge between the Universes”? The Federation teaches anti matter can not exist in this universe because you need anti-space and anti-time to contain it. It’s ether, rather than Special Relativity, that is the controlling factor on how fast light travels. No scientist claims now that empty space is really “empty” as we used to think of it. Ether is “the pond” and if “the pond” has a consciousness of its own this is something one could investigate. The psychic or Sixth Dimension may be a bridge dimension between the various other Universes. But is this to say that there is a True psychic dimension and False psychic dimensions? Sylvia Browne talks about psychic “Warnings” of things which will never happen. If this is a realm of “Shadows” as Ebonezer Scrooge night say- - are we to accord this dimension any predictive value at all? (Selah) The Federation speaks of the True psychic dimension, that is confined to this one four-dimensional Universe. Is a man a prophet if he warns about something he sees coming, which gets averted?
