World War III Plot! - Tuesday, October 24, 2023 14:05 - In the shadows, where
the world’s puppeteers pull the strings, a grand plan was set in motion. The
CABAL deep state, a clandestine organization with tendrils reaching into every

You Think, Special Intel Report Tues. 24 Oct. 2023 (Video) - Tuesday, October
24, 2023 4:47 – To add to Deep State woes, their US Inc. fiat US Dollar
bankruptcy had long been finalized, their replacement “Great Reset” of digital
fiat monies had been rejected by Congress, while a feared gold/asset-backed
Global Currency Reset was pending – which could so track the monies that it
would reject from having a bank account on the new Global Quantum Financial
System, anyone identified as having leanings toward the Deep State Agenda. The
Satan worshipping Dark Ones desperately needed those gold backed US Taxpayer
dollars to fund another war, the proceeds of which could then be money
laundered back into their own and now lean pocketbooks (at least, that seemed
to be their thinking – not understanding that the QFS System wouldn’t support
money laundering schemes). https://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2023/10/judy-byington-red-october-trump-warns-we-are-heading-to-wwiiibidens-nuclear-wwiii-was-pending-its-not-what-you-think-special-intel-report-tues-24-oct-2023-video-3801514.html

ZERO HEDGE: Watch: Pro-Palestinian
Mob Shuts Down Minneapolis Street, Terrorizes Motorists - BY TYLER DURDEN - MONDAY,
OCT 23, 2023 - 12:11 PM - If you were wondering why the pro-Palestinian
protests in the US today are starting to look a lot like the BLM riots of 2020,
it’s probably because they are made up of the same people with the same political
agenda. Minnesota has one of the most concentrated Muslim populations in the
US, but it is also a well-known Democrat stronghold. Palestinian protests
across the country are predominantly manned by far-left groups like Antifa
seeking to attach themselves to minority issues as an excuse to wreak havoc. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-pro-palestinian-mob-shuts-down-minneapolis-street-terrorizes-motorists

ATLAS SHRUGS: Nazis March in Skokie

10:00 - Skokie. A Jewish neighborhood. I remember when I was young, there was a
national news story that enraged the country, Nazis marching in Skokie. It set
the nation on edge, so repelled was the then moral, decent nation. 45 years
later, the left elites are cheering the Nazis. In 1977, Skokie, Illinois was
home to around 40,500 Jews, thousands of whom were Holocaust survivors. Then,
the National Socialist Party of America, a group of self-styled Nazis planned a
march. In March of that year, the group requested a permit to march through the
village, and were sued by Skokie to prevent it… https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2023/10/nazis-march-in-skokie-again-but-this-time-jews-beaten-nazis-cheered-3676215.html

About the Justice of God with
Mankind: Part 1
By Gene Lawley
Published on: October 18, 2023
Research by Pastor Gary Boyd
Oct. 24 2023
Searching out and exploring this
topic may take some time to find the whole counsel of God that we must have.
Why do I say that? Because we believers in God know that He is a just God in
all things, for He is morally perfect in His being. Otherwise, He is not wholly
God, yet the creation of all things, including mankind, testify
differently—that He is God.
Some basic truths about God are
necessary to begin this search: “God is not a man that He should lie, nor the
son of man that He should repent. Has He said and shall He not do? Or has He
spoken, and will He not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19).
“God is spirit, and they who worship
Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24).
“… the fullness of Him who fills all
in all” (Ephesians 1:23b).
“…He is not far from each one of us;
for in Him we live and move and have our being…” (Acts 27b-28a).
Therefore, it is not that God in
Spirit moves about in His creation, but His creation moves about in His
fullness, which fills all things! But we see that His attributes are in action
in all things having to do with the world and mankind. For example, “And the
Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2b). This
was before the world was fully created, the very beginning of it. Then, God’s
entry into moral history with the advent of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,
therein a major example.
Psalm 90:2 divides the earth’s
creation first, then the world: “Before the mountains were brought forth, or
ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting You are God.” Of course, in its first creation, the earth was
without form and void, as Genesis 1:2 tells us. The world came alive as God
began its creation, and the creation of time as well.
Those broad attributes of God, which
are always in effect, are found in Psalm 139. He is all-knowing, “omniscient”
(Psalm 139:1-6). He is everywhere present, “omnipresent” (Psalm 139:7-12). He
is all-powerful, “omnipotent” (Psalm 139:13-18).
Now we come to the point of finding
out how God’s justice remains intact for all matters that concern His creation,
in particular, mankind. Let’s look at doctrinal issues where it appears that
justice is not considered or seems to have been forgotten.
In Calvin’s TULIP acronym, Total
Depravity is defined as man being totally without any spiritual content
whatsoever. “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23
tells us. And leading up to that conclusion is a list of rejections of God
found in Romans 3:10-18:
“As it is written, there is none
righteous, no, not one;
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
They have all turned aside;
They have together become
unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not
one.
Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have
practiced deceit;
The poison of asps is under their
lips;
Whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood;
Destruction and misery are in their
ways;
And the way of peace they have not
known.
There is no fear of God before their
eyes.”
Sinfulness of man in his actions
springs out of his heritage of death from Adam. A man sins because he is a
sinner by nature. That’s what he does and why he does it. It says above, “There
is none who seeks after God,” yet God says in Jeremiah 29:13, “And you will
seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” How, then, is
that “seeking” accomplished? Let’s continue that search.
John wrote in 1 John 2:16, “For all
that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride
of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.” It is an echo of Satan’s
temptation of Eve in Genesis 3 and of Christ’s temptation in Matthew 4:4 and
following.
Then, in the TULIP acronym, the “U”
represents Unconditional Election, as Peter addressed those believers, “To the
… elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father” (1 Peter 1:1-2). The
question that must be answered is how is God’s justice satisfied so that the
election can be “unconditional,” which is the point of this article. (A hint:
“Be born again?”) This is confirmed by the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 2:10:
“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.” We will come
to this in our search further.
We must look to the attributes of God
and their effect upon His actions with mankind. His justice must be satisfied,
for otherwise, any claim not justified in Him is automatically a false claim.
It is contrary to His nature. That is the meaning of Psalm 9:10b, “Knowledge of
the Holy One is understanding.”
It is mind-boggling to think on how
and why God created mankind in His own image but left out the knowledge of good
and evil. They acquired that knowledge through their own disobedience, along
with death. (Genesis 3 tells what happened.) And why that way? Look at the
first four words of the Bible: “In the beginning God…” He was all there was,
and He filled all things. Only His morally perfect being existed. There was
only good, and no evil existed to challenge that good. Then, He “created the
heavens,” including all of the host of heaven, the angels, and Lucifer at the
head of that host.
In Ezekiel 28:2 and following, the
Lord gives a detailed account of how the highest angel of the host, with all
his glory, became proud of himself and rebelled against God. He chose to oppose
God with the purpose of taking God’s throne and authority. Note that this one,
Lucifer, had the ability to choose to rebel against God. Why did God create him
with that freedom of choice and not mankind? Isaiah tells in detail his purpose
in his rebellion:
“How you are fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who
weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the
mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend
above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High'” (Isaiah
14:12-14).
This introduction of evil into
existence brings about that principle in physics known as “for every action,
there is an equal reaction.” Therefore, it becomes true that when we sin, the
just reaction is righteous judgment. It becomes apparent that all
confrontations between members of the human race are traceable to that warfare
between God and Satan. Consider the account of Job’s testing after the taunting
of Satan to God that His greatest creation, made in His own image, would
crumble under Satan’s testing. In short, Satan lost; God won! It is to God’s
glory that Satan is defeated and will be thrown into the fires of hell for ever
and ever.
It is a long story, but in God’s
plan, it looks like His desire is to have a large family of adopted sons and
daughters who have been redeemed from a Satanic captivity by that one who has
opposed God from the very beginning of that evil one’s rebellion in heaven. Had
God given Adam and Eve the knowledge of good and evil when they were created,
would it have been likely that they would have gone the way of Lucifer and
chosen evil without redemption?
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they
then received the knowledge of good and evil; that is, they would know when
they would do evil works that it was evil. And all mankind after them were to
know that also. In James 4:17, it is written, “Therefore, to him who knows to
do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” (I have told this example that
when two drivers, one a believer and one a nonbeliever, run a red traffic
light, both will look around to see if a traffic cop has seen them.) Again, as
James said, “He who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
The passage that seems to be
overlooked when Total Depravity of mankind is discussed is this one that brings
into the picture how that Total Depravity transcends the gap to become an
elected saint. It is Romans 2:13-16, and it gives God the opportunity to show
His justice in His dealing with mankind:
“(For not the hearers of the law are
just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when
Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these,
although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the
law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between
themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God
will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.”
It is the knowledge of good and evil
which has been ingrained in the consciences of every person born of Adam. This
hook, so to speak, in man’s conscience is God’s way to bring man to really know
his sin and be drawn to accept Christ to save him. And I am saying that this is
the missing link between Total Depravity and Unconditional Election. It is the
meaning of what Jesus tells us in John 6:44: “No one can come to Me unless the
Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” Follow
the account of Saul of Tarsus when he was saved on the road to Damascus, told
in Acts 9. Likewise, it was the same manner in yours and my own consciences
when you and I were born again in Christ.
And as James 4:17 says above, “he who
knows to do good and does it not” is sinning before God. Those who never hear
of Christ and His gospel are under this principle or natural rule as well, and
God’s justice is served as the person does not do what he knows is right, even
in far-off places. Mankind is responsible to God for his actions. But His
attributes are also positive always for those who turn to Him in their
struggles.
(Part 2 will continue these
thoughts.)
