Rejecting Paul is Rejecting Christ
“I follow Jesus, not Paul”
This is a common response from those who fear that making too much of Paul will diminish the Lord Jesus Christ.TJ
Don’t reject any words in the Bible, but certainly don’t take them out of context like most do. The synagogue adversary disingenuously uses and twists Paul to fool the laodiceans into achieving its desired outcomes. Don’t be bamboozled by the tactics of our adversary’s cunning prosecuting-attorney-like tactics.
A church void of intelligent revolutionaries
To wit, I am amazed at how most Christians primarily refer to and quote Paul in all their opinions at the exclusion of most everything else regarding the Christian Bible. The reasons here are fairly straightforward; 
Reading Paul is very easy and today’s Christian is actually very obtuse and insipid, so they stick with Paul on all matters. Intelligent revolutionaries are no longer attracted to the church nor the Biblical concept, especially when it pertains to governance.
Prior to the 1800s, many bright and talented scholars and people of influence were attracted to the Bible’s esoteric teachings and admonitions regarding governing. For instance, Western politicians and judges often referred to scripture with matters of jurisprudence as well as dealing with overcoming enemies; both foreign and domestic. This was especially true during the formative and earlier years of the United States. But a scan of the iron-and-clay alt-Christian bloggers indicates something different; many of them claim that the founding fathers were a bunch of racist and Freemasonic devil worshipers.
Indeed, the synagogue adversary has repositioned Christianity over the past 150 years to mirror the other major world religions, while the synagogue’s disingenuous twisting of Paul’s epistles has worked well for them in this regard. Thus, an intelligent, independent-minded, and savvy remnant Bible-reading Christian is continually confronted with willful stupidity from within the church. And mark my words, the church is loaded with willful stupidity. They quote Paul and sound like Buddhists and Hindus without even understanding. They sound like Eastern mystics, and because of this Jesus will spit them out of his mouth, because they decided to be that way out of social expediency.
Once saved, always saved
The soft and docile Paul-quoting Christians that populate the church today have need of nothing. While profoundly benefitting from the labors and sacrifices of those learned Western Christians who preceded them, they piss all over their legacies. Today’s Western Christian is a thankless sort who has been gifted with peace, prosperity, material abundance, and ample time to indulge in anything the mind conjures.
Today’s Christian denies what made the Western culture possible and accepts the beast from within its midst as a palatable alternative to the past. They are worse than the foreigners who come in and bleed the Christian nations dry, for they were blessed with understanding, yet rejected it. They are like the Israelites who decided to side with the Philistines and make peace rather than fight. Today’s Christian is to be cast down into the pit like dross.
Ultimately, many Christians today believe they’ll be raptured out of here and will not have to suffer the hardships that the Bible promises are coming. Nowhere in the Bible does it say they’re not going to have to endure, but they have deluded themselves into believing such a lie. That lie was planted in the seminaries by our synagogue adversary 150 years ago. These deluded Christians often refer to Paul when justifying their broken opinions. This is why today’s Christian is so soft and amenable to the evils he or she sees. They aren’t warning others and they certainly are not preparing.
The church is dead just like the brains of most of those who belong to it.
Luke 18:10-14
“Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Luke 17:10 NLT
In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’”
— 1 Peter 5
And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ.
— 2 Peter 1
This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ.
— Acts 14:23
Paul and Barnabas also appointed elders in every church. With prayer and fasting, they turned the elders over to the care of the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.
The word of God is clear. Peter never exalted himself above eldership, and it seems there were many elders in the early church. Peter and Paul were martyred by pagan Rome, because Christians were blamed by the emperor Caesar Nero for lighting Rome on fire. A fire that lasted for 6 days. Henceforth, a 3.5 year vicious persecution began. History repeating itself soon. God’s Two witnesses will preach the gospel with supernatural power from God , and then they are martyred to make way for the anti christ’s mark of the beast (3.5 year reign). A one world government with the primary goal of hunting down God’s saints — those that keep the commandments and their faith in Lord Jesus Christ.
CJ – you’ve often made reference to todays Christian believing the OT was nailed to the tree. In what ways do you not. Is it primarily in the sense of identity of Israel/Gods people, Gods principles regarding other religions, self defence, prophecy? What about the Law… certainly ceremonial components and some of the references to clean/unclean don’t seem doable at this point. What about things like keeping the Sabbath – hard to believe breaking it was a capital offence back in the day.
For you Fed watchers out there worried about the digital currency; With its formal roll out of FedNow and its explicit backing of all bank deposits in the US, the Fed is two steps closer to a CBDC without people even noticing. Under the guise of collapse, the owners of the Fed proceed as planned. No collapses, just consolidations.
The entire world will be legally consolidated into FED, Inc., a one world corporation, with numerous major subsidiaries. The pyramid on the back of the dollar announced their intentions almost 100 years ago. The name of the roll-up firm will be USA, Inc.
Fed added $440 billion to its balance sheet last week. QT over… Watch for house prices and rents to continue rising. Look for inflation to never end. The Fed had previously drained $1.3 trillion, but added back $440 billion last week.
The wealthy deposits are saved. Wage earners continue to be drained of any financial future. But don’t worry, it’s all about our deep personal relationship with Jesus. Turn inward and tap on the keyboard to blow off steam.

Fed Balance Sheet
Released On 3/16/2023 4:30:00 PM For wk
Total Assets – $297.017 B
Reserve Bank Credit – W/W $142.143 B
The Fed’s balance sheet is a weekly report presenting a consolidated balance sheet for all 12 Reserve Banks that lists factors supplying reserves into the banking system and factors absorbing reserves from the system. The report is officially named Factors Affecting Reserve Balances, otherwise known as the “H.4.1” report.
The recent stock market declines are a good buying opportunity. The bank runs and bank “collapses” are just show for distraction to herd people in a certain direction while the Synagogue of Satan is consolidating their power in the background.
Food for thought: At some point in the near future cash will be made obsolete by removing it’s legal tender status. Be careful about hoarding cash. It is best to put it to work in income producing assets. Maybe also put a small portion in assets that hold their value like gold or silver.
While I agree that hoarding cash is a bad idea and personally I am all in on PMs, one might want to consider putting ones cash into tools. Hand tools that one knows how to use are a great asset to have. Also, personal energy production and development of one’s own water source as well as farm equipment are the way to go–Aquaponics Systems use little water and produce nearly all a family’s food in a relatively small space and add to that some hens and ducks. Maybe sheep or goats….
In addition, and most importantly, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD and depart from evil.”
Our works are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). We are un-worthy servants of God. We were marching down the wide path before being re-born in the Spirit thanks to Lord Jesus. Thank God the Father for sending his grace and his Holy Spirit to his children that believe in his Son – King Jesus Christ. It’s God’s Spirit that helps renew our hearts so we can walk in the Spirit of Christ – which leads us to good works for the glory of God:
Matthew 5:16
Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
John 15:5
Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
Our works should be the by-product of our faith in God, but never should our works be about exalting ourselves; but exalting Jesus Christ. “I can do all things through Lord Jesus.” So the King gets the glory. We’re just servants doing the will of God. Just like the angels of God. They are also servants of God. We are all instruments of God’s will. One person might be a great preacher. Another may be great in investing (parable of the talent), another may be a great musician. But in a music concert – do people clap their hands to the instrument the musician is using, or to the one playing the instrument? So all praise and glory to God the Father and his Son – Lord Jesus.
Romans 8:9
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)
Ephesians 6:14
The (Holy) Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
The law and God allowing Israelites to have their own kings showed that humans are not capable of ruling on their own for generations upon generations. Solomon, because of his God given wisdom, knew it wasn’t going to last:
Ecclesiastes 2:19
“And who can tell whether my successors will be wise or foolish? Yet they will control everything I have gained by my skill and hard work under the sun. How meaningless!”
The problem with today’s so called Christian church attendees is that they quote certain chapters of the Bible that justifies their behavior while ignoring other chapters of the Bible that forbid their unGodly behavior.
These so called “prosperity preachers” of the likes of Joel Osteen preach worldly materialism if you follow God. Never mind the other chapters of the Bible that speak against sinful behavior and speak against placing priority on material items. Seems like that is missing in Joel’s speeches. They preach the good parts but not the parts that ask for responsibility and accountability of sinful behavior. These preachers are wealthy for a reason as they preach feel good stuff and of course they say giving money to them is fulfilling Bible obligations of spreading the wealth.
Many churches in my area are very exclusive as they say on their websites that they are welcoming to families with children. What happened to the inclusivity that was preached by Jesus to all those hungry for the gospel. What about single men and women and old empty nest couples? Are they not welcome? That is the message they are sending. In fact the Jewish Temples’ websites say they are a warm welcoming place for everyone of the Jewish faith. That means all Jews and not just those families with kids. Churches do not adhere to the whole Bible but only the convenient parts and are mostly hypocritical.
I stay away from these places for that reason.
The whole Bible is important and that is why it has the chapters that it has. There is no picking and choosing any chapter over the others.
Jesus did say that the path to his heavenly kingdom is a very narrow and treacherous one. Most of today’s Church goer’s are taking the wide and easy path to Satan’s kingdom. The whole Bible is the guide for that narrow and treacherous path.
It’s a narrow path, indeed. But for those that get beheaded in the Great Tribulation for refusing to worship the beast and his image;
nor accepted the mark of the beast – you’re destined to be resurrected in Christ’s 1000 year kingdom on earth; and you don’t go through the judgment seat either.
Romans 8:19:
For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
Ephesians 2:17-18
He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near. 18 Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.
Galatians 5:19-21
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

There is also a medal that was struck in the same year, the image of the woman is holding a cup. Hard to find that image on the web but it does exist.
Nice. Notice the all-seeing eye in a triangle above her head and light rays.
I do believe that mystery Babylon from the book of revelation is Rome. From my understanding – once the beast (anti-Christ) rises from the bottomless pit (hades), Rome will give power and authority to the beast and the 10 ruling kings. After Rome does this the beast will burn her city to the ground. And then the 3.5 year persecution of Christians worldwide begins.
Amazingly, if this is true, it would be a parallel to what happened in Rome in the 60’s AD. Christians were blamed for burning Rome. A fire that lasted for 6 days. Emperor Nero blamed it on Christians and persecuted them viciously for 3.5 years. It’s said that Paul and Peter were martyred along with many others. Nero died at the age of 30. If he’s the one that gets resurrected from the bottomless pit (hades), then technically he should be 30 years old (same age as Christ when he started his ministry). And if he’s given 3.5 years to persecute Christians (those that refuse the mark) he would be 33 years old when his time is up (same age as Christ when he was crucified). And Emperor Nero’s name in gematria adds up to both 666 and 616 (some early manuscripts had it 616).
