The Danger of Sincrety
Today, many are given to this air of reconciliation. Political apologists would have you believe it is centrism or really, being moderate or better, progressive, somewhere between the political extremes of liberalism and conservatism. The real essence of the problem, is that capitalism without morality tends to the anarchy of lust and greed. This is dangerous enough, having liberty requires exercising self-discipline and responsibility. They call it the Third Way. The Third Way is sincrety, simply stated, trying to unite two irreconcilable things. These irreconcilable things are not what they would have you believe, let me explain.
As a society we are encourage to forget God. In so doing we have driven morality out of our schools, our homes, our entertainment and even our government. In return, there is a lack of self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) and personal responsibility, lawlessness grows. Consequently, this requires more of an external control and temperance, usually in the form of government.
This governmental control attempts to dictate morality and communal behavioral standards that apply to institutions and individuals alike. As personal self-control wanes, the reigns of government control must become tighter. This is the tipping the other end of the scale, and the centralized, command-and-control tyrannies of socialism, communism and Marxism. This type of government become dangerous because morality is rooted in the heart of the individual by God and is exercised in relationship to and knowledge of God. When the individual forgets God, and his responsibility to God, and the government then has to dictate morality, it becomes the arbiter of morality, deciding what is right and what is wrong. This is extremely dangerous.
The genius of our founding fathers, was finding a middle ground between these two extemes of anarchy and tyranny. One where the morality of the individual was recognized as God given. And with that personal morality, came sovereignty. This sovereignty required liberty, such that came from God and the government could not take away! They established a ance of power in governmental structure and prohibited the government from infringement on individual rights. This form of government recognized that sovereignty is bestowed upon the individual and not the government!
In the history of the world, this had not been done. As most governments place sovereignty in a person or particular group of rulers, not so in the United States.
The Third Way is not some reconciliation between partisan political extremes, but it is a way to reconcile these two forms of sovereignty. One that requires the individual to cede his control to that of another, transferring sovereignty to the government. Eventually, the government will be the arbiter of freedom, providing the individual with choices. This is just another version of the lie… the one Satan told in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:1-7. In essence, he took the freedom Eve had to eat of every tree of the garden, and gave her choices; she could remain as she was, or she could be like God.
Look around, we see it everywhere… corporations are bad, yet they pay our wages. Government is good, yet it dips its hand in your pocket to steal your sweat. Becoming a parasite on government largess is good, working hard to provide for your family is not.
Marriage is seen as a restrictive covenant, not as to only benefit the furtherance of a society through procreation. But its very essence must be bended and twisted to satisfy individual whims of indulgence, relegating the ability of marriage as the primary vehicle to sustain society to obscurity. Eventually, that very society shall end up on the refuse heap of history. (That can be the only logical conclusion!)
This sincrety can be non-sensical , as in the claim that carbon-dioxide is a pollutant, when it is necessary for plants to grow and thrive.
Oftentimes it is subtle, as when we are told pregnancy is not always a human carrying another individual human being. Instead we are asked to believe it is really a lump of tissue, or worse, a parasite! We know, without the benefit of science it is another INDIVIDUAL human being.
The problem with sincrety, is the same as Paul asked in 1 Corinthians 5:6 “Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?”
Think about it, we let a little error cloud our thought processes, will the preponderance of right thinking win out, or will that little bit of error, pollute all of our thinking?
The battle for control of the church has begun… the weapon of choice is SINCRETY! It is even predicted by John in Revelation 3:15-16, Jesus is speaking and says of the church of Laodicea “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.”
Is this not a warning from the Savior Himself to be very wary about coupling irreconcilable things?
Why do we accept Yoga in the Christian church?
Yoga at best is against Christianity. It is a system of works based on merging with God. Though some of the language sounds the same, it is a system of works. The poses in Yoga are meant to teach the body how to die! Just peering at the five basic truths of Yoga is enough to make me run!
Why do we accept the peace sign in the Christian Church?
Take the time to find out why. It is not simply a symbol to bring about peace, but is being used to sincretize all of society. It has many different stories of its creation. However, some every citation couples some nefarious meaning to it. One cites its creation to a group with communist and Marxist sympathies. Regardless, it is a symbol of rebellion… and we attempt to reconcile it with our Christianity. That is precisely what it was used for in the 1960s, to rebel against the church and society Curiously, it is accepted and adored by many Christians today!
Why do we celebrate movies like Harry Potter and New Moon in the Christian Church?
They are really good moral stories, but that evil stuff is thrown in just for fun. Come on, incantations and vampires, are not true, yes, but some are carried away unawares. I mean seriously, we are to take character lessons from Edward (a vampire) and proclaim his testimony?
Is Jesus Christ not good enough?
And most dangerous of all, why do we accept the emergent church movement in the Christian Church?
With its focus on the here and now, social justice and sustainability… this is the near end-game of seduction. As Christians, we are encouraged to pray for God’s kingdom to come… it will be a Earthly kingdom, yes. However, it is not our home, or even our hope. Our hope is eternal, as it is written in Revelation 22:14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.”
There is a war being waged… it is spiritual. It is being waged for individual hearts! It is both overt and subtle, through using subterfuge and Hegelian dialectic it reaches deep into the church snaring elders and pastors. The powers-that-be may just be useful pawns, however they serve the father of lies. He is hard at work, knowing as we, that his time is fleeting. These leaders are moving us to the place we are warned to stay away from… medicority. Jesus Himself warned us of His reaction to mediocrity in Revelation 3:16… “I will spit you out of my mouth.”
I would even point to a hint of this prediction in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, recorded in the Daniel 2:31-45. The image Nebuchadnezzar saw in his sleep was impressive… and it is easily explained by Daniel with revelation from God.
The image is sort of “timeline” of world empires, with the gold head representing the Babylonian empire. Each empire deteriorates, as is evident in its movement from the more prominent position of the head on the body and composition of better materials. As each succesive empire appears, it occupies a less prominent place in the body and the material is of slightly inferior value and density. We find ourselves somewhere close to the feet and toes of the statue… the toes being the final empire. Here is where it is stated in Daniel 2:41-43 as follows:
And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
Here you see sincrety described in the form of iron mixing with clay… but they do not hold together, because iron does not mix with clay.
Christian be wary of everything you are taught… even from your own church leaders. As is written in 1 John 4:1-6:
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Christian… you can be taught another Jesus. The enemy is working out the last pieces of his dominion. This is his lie, dominion theology taught by the emergent church, to realize Utopia in the here and now. He is using the language of the Christian to lure away captives unaware. Words like justice, hope, kingdom, conversion and salvation arer being used to connect concepts that are biblical with a concepts that are extra-biblical and prideful.
The emergent church is calling for “conversions that can change lives, neighborhoods and this world,” that is meant for the community. It is a gospel of communitariansim (better communism,) and relativism. It is not the true Gospel of the shocking individual recognition of personal sin that leads to responsibility, repentance and service to a holy and loving God through salvation in Jesus Christ.
So let’s be clear: sincretism… in other words is oxy-moronic!

Science and Religion… are they the same?
For those who are paying attention, have you noticed a pattern lately?
It seems that those cartoons I grew up on, where a certain villain wanted to take over the world, were prognostications. In this case, though, there isn’t any one particular “person” who is doing this.
However, there does seem to be a concerted effort, everywhere, to harness the political will of the world in one entity. And with that, control everything you and I do. I am continually astounded at how fast things are happening.
There are hints appearing daily, and all seem to be small pieces to a larger puzzle. Starting with the engineered recession in 2008, leading to TARP. Then came G-20 and global socialism, followed by single-payer health care, cap and trade, and now climategate. The latest revelation is from a scientist stepping forward declaring a concerted push of what really is a religion. This scientist, a hurricane expert, rips anthropogenic global warming saying, “There has been an unrelenting quarter century of one-sided indoctrination.”
You can also find a push for worldwide population control. Now other countries have joined China’s call for a one child policy! The ultimate goal is controlling every aspect of your life! Perhaps, the boogieman is real, and he is pulling the strings. Your life and your freedom is at stake!
Who is this boogieman? Well, funny thing, in Islam, part of the purification ritual is to rinse your nose out in the morning and before prayer, this is called Ablution. This is because Islam teaches that Satan dwells up in the nose overnight!
Yea, I do believe Satan is real… and I also believe he is the mastermind!
Consider this… Lazy, duped American voters choose ”progressive” politicians because of the promise of goodies from a “benevolent” government. It is fitting, that they choose their own SLAVEMASTERS and willingly indenture themselves! What is more shocking is that they have purchased their own shackles, by supporting progressive environmentalist and animal rights groups with their own hard earned treasure in the name of benevolence.
It is ironic, and perhaps, just. But amidst all of this I am saddened. Saddened, because in this, they have rejected their own freedom. Worse yet, they have willingly and blatantly rejected God’s provision of righteousness for themselves, Jesus! (John 3:16-21)
So I ask… Are you tired of the lies?
Have you reject eternal life all for more leisure and a season to sin?
Did you know… That work is also a gift from God? (Genesis 3:17)
Are you prepared for the certain future of a tyrannical one-world government?
Behold… He says He is coming quickly! (Revelation 3:20; Revelation 16:15; Revelation 22:7,12,20)
Repent, that is change your mind. Reject the lie (Genesis 3:4-5,) that you are your own god. Trust Jesus as your only salvation as you would trust a parachute as Paul says in Romans 3:21-26

Climategate Computer Codes Are the Real Story
To heck with the emails… they were only a significant portion of the dump. There are README notes of a frustrated programmer trying to get the data to say what someone else had made it say before.
Global warming is not caused solely, nor even mostly, and probably ever, by man. There are other undetermined causes that have not been investigated, because there is no government funding nor ability to control everyone’s lives by trading AIR!
Science by government grant is welfare!

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is “Confident” All Americans Will Pay for Abortions
Who are these people in Congress, and especially this woman? For what do Democrats stand? It isn’t morality nor freedom of conscience!
Consider this…
“It was extremely painful for me to feel compelled to vote for a bill that contained that kind of restriction on a woman’s ability to make her own reproductive choices,” Wasserman Schultz said.
What a choice, enslaving Americans or killing unborn babies? It cannot be a moral dilemma because killing and enslaving are immoral! But this is the Deocratic party who cannot vote with conscience… they have none. But this quote is pure hypocrisy!
The worst part of this tyranny is the maximum penalty of 5 years in jail and $250,000 fine for not carrying a $15,000 per year health policy on yourself or your dependents. Of course, if you are an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, you are EXEMPT from the REQUIREMENT AND THE PENALTY! However, U.S. citizens will be compelled to purchase a plan mandated by government fiat, there is no opt-out for conscience, or any other reason.
Medicare is cut by $500 billion… and it is not all from reduction of waste, in fact very little will come from reduction of waste. It will come directly from cuts to how Medicare services are provided you may even be required to see a nurse-practitioner for care, not a doctor. The government will then be a consultant, electronically, on the care of patients.
The money you pay for your “health plan” will be used to fund abortions, including those to full-term! It will also be used to fund community “entities” with no required qualifications, interpreters and awarding grants based on race. You cannot get out for conscience, or even religious purposes.
But don’t let the abortion thing fool you, it is the tool being used to get this tyrannical bill passed. They bought all those so-called “blue dog” Democrats who would have you believe they have a conscience and do not want others to pay for abortion. All the while shackling every working American to a $15,000 tax. Shame, Ms Pelosi, shame Ms. Wasserman-Schultz and shame to everyone who voted aye on enslavement!
Start building jails congress! There you give free room, board, education and healthcare for everyone!

Not evil, just wrong?
Actually, I believe it is both evil and wrong. The globalists are using the environmentalists to destroy America and bring about a global government.
Between ANWR and the Dakotas we have enough oil to become a net exporter again. This would hold us over until we can bring some modern nuclear electric plants online. Instead, we have Cap and Trade and the globalist government treaty The Prez is going to sign in December.
Wake up America!!! We are ready to fall over the edge. We can still take America back peacefully. By the end of the year, that will no longer be true.
get the movie, refuse the globalist agenda

Obama wins the peace prize???
I called my sister this morning and she said “turn on the news! Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize!”. So, I turned on the news and there it was: a press conference about the Dark One winning the Peace Prize!!!!????
Are you kidding!!!!???? What on earth has he accomplished since he was elected by the masses he brainwashed?
- he declared June Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride month
- he appointed as Safe Schools Czar a man who claims to be “inspired” by Harry Hay, an early LGBT activist and and member of NAMBLA
- he rammed through the Cap and Trade bill to make energy prohibitively expensive to prevent “climate change”
- he apologized for America to the Muslims of the world
- he bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia
- he dissed the queen and prime minister of Great Britain, our oldest allies
- he dictated to Israel that they must give up all ability to defend themselves so they can have peace
According to the New York Times:
President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize today in part for what the award’s organizers said was a “more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting.”
The stunning decision to honor Obama just nine months into his first term caught even the White House off guard.
“Well, this is not how I expected to wake up this morning,” Obama said during a Rose Garden speech.
Ok, so it was for ramming through the Cap and Trade bill. I love it. He passes bad legislation against the wishes of the majority of Americans based on bad science and wins the Nobel Prize. It makes perfect sense. The world sees Obama as the messiah, children sing praises to him and worship him.
Let’s step back for a bit and look at a couple of verses.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. – Gen 9:13
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. – Rev 6:2
During his campaign Obama mesmerized the masses. Catholics voted for him, even though he not only voted for every abortion bill he could but also voted for infanticide bills. Jews voted for him even though he is an anti-semite. He bamboozled many people with his silver tongue. The whole world was declaring him the messiah before the election.
It is so easy to see the globalist agenda being advanced by the current administration and congress. Hate speech bills, cap and trade, refusing to close our borders, making all the benefits of citizenship available to illegal aliens so the system will be overloaded and break down.
Dithering on sending the troops needed to win in Afghanistan, apologizing to any muslim he can find for “American arrogance”, enhancing his appearance of weakness. Printing money and selling debt to China so we will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Peking before long.
They are deliberately destroying America, throwing away our status as a sovereign nation, hitching our wagon to the United Nations, an organization that would love to see the only democracy in the middle east destroyed.
Is Barack Obama the one on the white horse, offering a covenant of peace between Israel and the rest of the world? Only time will tell, but his being given the peace prize based on good intentions sure tells a lot.
Keep your eyes open and do not be deceived.
