LET THESE TRUTHS BE SELF-EVIDENT
“LET THESE TRUTHS BE SELF-EVIDENT” So spoke that great American
Icon Thomas Jefferson. Seeing as how Jefferson’s
words had a very hollow ring to them because even as he spoke these
words he was all for enslaving people and denying people of
color their property rights and if necessary their very lives in direct
contradiction to what he claimed were God given.However nobody who
heard him speak that day accused him of hyprocracy or
thought him to be a white supremacist. Actually nobody saw anything out
of order with what he said. Actually nothing has changed in this
regards for to this day seldom is Thomas Jefferson referred
to as a racist,or a hypocrite. America has a tradition of glorifying
her founding fathers and in general glossing over anything that
doesn’t portray
America as the salt of the Earth, the cat’s meow, the very
righteousness of God upon the Earth.
However, perhaps Thomas Jefferson did hit upon something that would
be well for us to reflect upon. Yes this is one of the advantages you have of
visiting this blog is as the name implies DEEPTHINK you will gain an insight
you probably will encounter no where else. So incline your eyes upon
the following words for you are about to discover one of the major reasons we
have something nobody wants dominating the stage of human history. This
something most people don’t want is the specter of War!
Lets consider for a moment that it should be obvious that organized
religions
play a major role in war. For example consider the almost constant
warfare that goes
on in the middle East.Isn’t it obvious that if
Judaism,Christianity,and Islam never
existed there would not be all this bloodletting in the region.If
Jehovah or Yahweh
had not made the ancient Israelites His favorite children and promised them land
in the Middle East precisely right smack dab along side of their sworn
enemies her
Arab neighbors who have never liked the Hebrews it is obvious is it
not that a major
source of contention would not be in the middle East region.
Furthermore when Mother Judaism gave birth to her Christian child America and
indoctrinated the Christian child with the belief that God would
punish the child yea even
curse the child if the child did not bless the mother Israel;it was
then a stroke of genius
when the Hebrew prophet called down a revelation and placed it in the
Holy Book the
following revelation in scripture.I WILL BLESS THEM THAT BLESS THEE AND CURSE
THEM THAT CURSE THEE OH ISRAEL.Look no further than this revelation to
understand
America’s biases in favor of Israel in the Middle East.
Then with the advent of the new kid on the block the God Ala the
stage was now set with the
necessary ingredients to ensure war without end,and even more
ominously with the advent
of weapons of mass destruction perhaps the end of the world ending in
a huge mushroom
cloud.It is perhaps the world’s greatest irony that the religions
which people turn to in
their prayers to bring peace,prosperity, and security have instead
brought war,devastation,and
insecurity.
Now right here my detractors are no doubt getting the idea that
DEEPTHINK is about to
fulfill biblical prophecy by claiming that we should get rid of
Religion and blaming it for the world’s
woes.To the contrary religions with their moral teachings are the very
glue which holds societies
together.As such Religions have the potential of being solely a force
for good in the world. Yea,
although religions should be exclusively a force for good in the world
they have all too often been
a force for evil in the world if we consider war to be an evil.
Religioist or theologians as they are commonly
known will no doubt claim some wars are against some Evil.
That said it must be admitted that all religionist on all sides of
every war believe that they are the good
guys.This blog is not aimed at promoting the theme that no religious
person should participate in a war the
believer believes is just. This blog is advancing the notion that no
religion should itself be the cause for the
war.In what way then can it be shown that a religion
is or has been the cause for the war.This
blog is directing our attention to Holly wars. Wars that different
religions are warring against each other. The
Holly crusades of centuries past for example as well as the present
holly war or continuation of the Holly
crusades in the present day wars in the middle East.
Is it not obvious that the coalition forces led by Christian
America and heavily influenced by Judaic Israel is
fighting basically Islamic forces? It should be obvious that these
current wars in the middle East is a continuation
of the war of the Gods,Yahweh,Ala,and Jesus Christ which Gods have
been seemingly using various pawns in a
battle of deciding whose religion is headed up by the one true God. Ah
it is at this point that Thomas Jefferson’s
words, LET THESE TRUTHS BE SELF-EVIDENT gives us a way to diffuse this
perpetual horror debacle.The main
perspective centers around the claim that all religions seem to make
that set up the threat of war. It is the ex-
clusivity claim.
It was when the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith began to claim that the
L.D. S Church was the only true church
that hastened his demise. shortly thereafter his Mormon exclusivity
claim that his body was entered,and the great Mormon
Percusion began.It was the father of the Joseph of the bible who
received the coat of many colors who caused his favorite
son Joseph to be sold into slavery in Egypt.
It was Israel’s claim to being the chosen of God with their God
Yahweh being the only true God that played a major role in the hatred
of all those that opposed them through the all too numerous wars of
the old testament. This same dynamic is being played out today
because Islam picked up the mantle of exclusivity by proclaiming NO
GOD BUT ALA. Now we have identified the cause of these
Holy Wars. It is not the belief held by the various religions that
their God is the only true God. It is their proclaiming that their God
is the only true God, that lies at the heart of causing wars.,
Knowing that it is the claim by the various religions that their God is the
ONLY true God that is the single most important cause of pitting these
religions against each other in Holy wars that we now know how to prevent
these holy wars which wars are the principle kind of warfare. All we need
to do is exercise a little self control. No believer is being asked to give up their
religion or disobey any of their God’s commandments for no where is it
written that God, be that God Yahweh,Ala, or Jesus Christ has commanded
His believers to to go ye into all the world and proclaim that He is the ONLY
true God.
Now right here believers are going to claim that their God claims to be the
only true God. Yes this is true. It is perfectly all right for Jews to say Yahweh is
God,and for christians to say Jesus Christ Is God,and for Muslims to say Ala
is God but does one have to add the words ONLY TRUE GOD ? And even if one
can claim their God commands them to declare Him the only true God can one
establish that the breaking of this one commandment is punishable with eternal
damnation? As long as a Christians confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord according
to Romans 10:9 he shall be saved. As long as a Judaic Jew, and a Muslim do not
deny that that their God is God then do they contend that their in danger of hellfire
if they don’t add the words Only TRUE GOD?
If we can prevent holy wars simply by refraining from claiming exclusivity wouldn’t
a righteous God understand the trouble it is causing to proclaim exclusivity? As far as
believers are concerned wouldn’t it be better to concentrate on obeying the commandments
upon which blessings from God are awarded? By so doing it would become very evident whose
got the only true God. Therefor let Jefferson’s words once again ring throughout the world.
LET THESE TRUTHS BE SELF-EVIDENT.
