GOD AND

GOVERNMENT

DON'T MIX

Of course many people will strongly disagree and point out that by having people with strong religious convictions in the White House and in positions of leadership, it  brings a moral fiber based on Judeo Christian values etc etc.

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS  ABOUT THIS

THIS IS THE REASON WHY GOD AND GOVERNMENT DO NOT  MIX,  AND WHY THE FOUNDING FATHERS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN THEY SEPARATED CHURCH AND STATE.

People who believe as true Christians do, that the most important thing in life is the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, also believe that in order for that 2nd coming to take place there must occur (as the Book of Revelation says) a war called Armageddon.

When these people feel that they have been placed in their position to hasten the second coming , you then have religious motivated people calling your sons and daughters into battle, people who believe deeply that they are bringing war against Satan and that this is Gods will to set the stage for the return of Jesus Christ.

Right now, you have in key positions of power in the USA , a President, and the under secretary of defense ,Gen. Boykin, who have the ability to ignite Armageddon and in so doing believe they are fulfilling their calling from God to hasten the return of Jesus Christ.

Imagine young men and women called to battle to have their lives taken for a religious belief that most likely they themselves do not share.

THE MYTHOLOGICAL BOOK OF REVELATION

 A mythological story such as the Book of Revelation when interpreted literally, becomes a catalyst for fear. People not only become frightened and find themselves subjected to bizarre religious groups, but in addition the very same mythological tales of mind psychology become the basis of violence and killing upon the planet earth.

The Biblical book of Revelation is Greek mythology. Greek mythology totally misunderstood by the religious pundits of this era who use it to frighten and coerce their followers and the rest of us as well.

 Let me show you how this stuff gets totally out of control.

 THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

 PRAYER IN SCHOOL

People who follow these religious teachers  feel  they should be able to put the 10 commandments on  display in public buildings, return public prayer to schools, as well as implement any other social restrictions that represent their particular religious beliefs.

 These types are the ones  who support the current administration in Washington so strongly because of its open Christian stand.

 When the people who put this country together did so, they were very clear about the separation of church and state.

 Let me show you a graphic example of how wise they were.

 We have shared together concerns about President Bush and his deep held Christian faith that has him firmly believing that he is actually on a mission directed by God.

Look at this article from the Guardian Unlimited in England concerning a new book about George W Bush.

Bush says God chose him to lead his nation

Book reveals how President's religious and political beliefs are entwined - and claims he did pray with Blair

Paul Harris in New York
Sunday November 2, 2003
The Observer

President George W. Bush stood before a cheering crowd at a Dallas Christian youth centre last week, and told them about being 'born again' as a Christian.

The book, which depicts a President who prays each day and believes he is on a direct mission from God, will give ammunition to critics who claim Bush's administration is heavily influenced by extremist Christians.

The book, The Faith of George W. Bush, was written by Christian author Stephen Mansfield. It details numerous incidents where Bush's faith has been shown to be at the centre of his political thinking.

I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.'

Do you see the problem here?

If the President believes that God is giving him instructions concerning what to do, and he reads the Book of Revelation concerning prophecies of a nuclear struggle to hasten the return of Jesus Christ , then all of us will be caught up in conflict based not on political ideology , territorial claim, or even direct attack.

We will be caught up in conflict based on religious beliefs, Biblical interpretation, and the inner feelings of people who believe that God is speaking directly to them.

Weapons of mass destruction, allegiances with Al Queda, connections to 911 all become pretenses to cover the real reason for the crusade to come. God privately told our leaders.

WE HAVE THAT PROBLEM WITH OUR PRESIDENT.

NOW WHAT ABOUT HIS GENERALS.

LOOK AT THIS !!

     GODS GENERAL

This is a picture of an American military officer. He is a general. His name is General William Boykin.

This General has recently been promoted and is now the deputy under secretary of defense.

 His job is fighting terrorism in general and trying to find Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in particular.

 Let me share a news article with you written by David Rennie and filed on October 17 2003

God put Bush in charge, says the general hunting bin Laden
By David Rennie
(Filed: 17/10/2003)

The general leading the hunt for Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein has publicly declared that the Christian God is "bigger" than Allah, who is a false "idol", and believes the war on terrorism is a fight with Satan, it emerged yesterday

  Here we have an American military general in a position of extreme power, picking a fight with the Muslim world and then saying that he believes we are in a war with Satan.

Where does he get this stuff ?  He obviously is a devout Christian who takes the Book of Revelation literally.

If there ever was a thought that maybe this was not a new Crusade, forget it.

 This is a full blown Christian Crusade against Islam in the middle east. And the soldiers who believe in that Crusade are in command.

And we are legally bound to follow them.

FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

AND NBC NEWS

Investigative reporters from the Los Angeles Times and NBC television have dug up two years' worth of seemingly incendiary comments from Lt Gen William "Jerry" Boykin, the newly promoted deputy undersecretary of state of defense for intelligence.

 Gen Boykin has repeatedly told Christian groups and prayer meetings that President George W Bush was chosen by God to lead the global fight against Satan.

He told one gathering: "Why is this man in the White House? The majority of Americans did not vote for him. He's in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this."

 Here we have a general in the middle of all this, who believes that President Bush was made President by God for this particular time. In other words  a General who deeply believes this is another crusade.

 In January, he told Baptists in Florida about a victory over a Muslim warlord in Somalia, who had boasted that Allah would protect him from American capture. "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real god and his was an idol," Gen Boykin said.

 He also emerged from the conflict with a photograph of the Somalian capital Mogadishu bearing a strange dark mark. He has said this showed "the principalities of darkness. . . a demonic presence in that city that God revealed to me as the enemy".

AN AMERICAN GENERAL WHO CAN SEND YOUR KIDS TO BATTLE WAS SHOWN A DEMONIC PRESENCE BY GOD, WHICH HE WAS TOLD WAS THE ENEMY.

THE QUESTION

DO YOU WANT YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR THIS MANS RELIGIOUS VISION ?

The important point about all of this is found in this last paragraph.

 This American General who is assigned by the President to hunt down Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in the war against terror, proclaims  that he was shown a demonic presence that God revealed to him as the enemy.

 A man like this is sending our young men and women into battle on the basis of what God told him.

God told me we should attack now.  Charge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 This is not something that could happen mind you, this is something that is happening.

 We have a religious, Christian right fundamentalist fanatic, in a very important military position at the present time when our young people are being killed daily in Iraq, in what is another religious nightmare of Judeo Christianity vs Islam.

 AND KEEP IN MIND, THIS GENERAL WAS PUT IN THIS POSITION BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. A RELIGIOUS FANATIC WITH KEYS TO THE NUCLEAR WAR ROOM.

Here it is graphically spelled out.

 In the same month, Gen Boykin told an Oklahoma congregation that Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were not the enemy.

 "Our enemy is a spiritual enemy because we are a nation of believers. . .

 His name is Satan.

 Keep in mind , this General who is a religious fanatic could send our young people into battle because God told him he must attack Satan. Is this even remotely reasonable.?

Yet this is a very real situation that is going on today.

THE SOURCE OF THIS INFORMATION

Where did this come from? What is the source, because that is important.

 The source of this information must be reliable.

 You look for yourself.

There it is. From a very reliable press source, MSNBC.

The scary story of the Armageddon General who is presently the undersecretary of defense in the current administration.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

 BUT LEAVE THE REST OF US OUT OF IT 

In the current administration are people who are Christian Fundamentalists and believe that God has appointed them to attack Satan.

They are using innocent American men and women who do not necessarily share their religious views to do the attacking.

Do you see why the separation of church and state is so critically important ?

  THERE IS A  2^nd PART OF THIS STORY .

 THE CHILLING BIBLICAL STORY OF  THE APOCALYPSE

 Christian fundamentalists work for the day when Jesus returns. That is the most important thing in their existence.

The second coming of Jesus Christ.

 But, they believe that for Jesus to come back, Armageddon must come first. In other words there must be a holocaust in which millions of people are killed.

Now there are people in command in Washington who have the power to make that Biblical interpretation come true.

They will do anything in their power to hasten the return of Jesus and they are prepared to cause Armageddon to bring Jesus to earth. Let me show you.

 FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION

 Revelation 16:16   And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

 Revelation 9:15   And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day,  and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Revelation 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke,  and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

  This is the part that religious fundamentalists  like  Jack Van Impe, and General Boykin, and President Bush ,get excited about and deeply believe.

Because right after this battle in which a 3^rd on the earth are killed, Jesus returns.

 That is what General Boykin referred to when he said that God commanded President Bush to be in control at this time.

 It is to fight the war of Armageddon and hasten the return of Jesus Christ.

THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY PAID THE SUPREME PRICE

Thousands of Iraqis have been killed. The country has been substantially destroyed and over 200 Americans have been killed, and they are being killed in 2’s and 3’s daily.

 The reason for the killing  is because the people in control of this country , including important army Generals believe this is a fight against Satan.

THEIR ENEMY IS SATAN

 I have just  showed you where General Boykin said, Osama and Saddam were not the enemy, that the enemy was Satan. 

Well look what happens in the Book of Revelation.

  Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,  called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,  and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 20:2  2.  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

 You see the enormity of the problem when religious fundamentalists take over key places in government .

 People interpreting scriptures which are Greek mythology literally, and setting out to encourage the final battle to take place so that Satan can be defeated.

AGAIN CONSIDER THE GENERAL AND HIS ENEMY SATAN 

Review again what the article says about General Boykin who is now the deputy under secretary of defense. His job is fighting terrorism in general and trying to find Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in particular.

 IT SAYS

In the same month, Gen Boykin told an Oklahoma congregation that Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were not the enemy.  

"Our enemy is a spiritual enemy because we are a nation of believers. . . His name is Satan."

 We have the President Of The United States and other key military leaders that he has appointed looking and listening to God for their next move.

They are conducting a war against Satan.

 As General Boykin said earlier , God has shown him things about the enemy.

THIS IS WHAT HE SAID

He (God) showed me the Somalian capital Mogadishu bearing a strange dark mark. This showed "the principalities of darkness. . . a demonic presence in that city that God revealed to me as the enemy".

 A REVELATION FROM GOD TO OUR GENERAL WHO CAN SEND YOUR KIDS INTO BATTLE

The sickening part about all of this is that the Book of Revelation  is Greek Mythology that is not talking about a battle taking place on a physical battlefield, but a battle taking place  in the mind.

It is mythological psychology as is so much of Greek Myth.

 It’s all symbolic and yet you have people in places of great power taking it literally.

When they talk about terror their talking about Satan and they are using young American men and women to go out and fight against Satan.

For the express purpose of hastening the return of Jesus.

 BLAISE PASCAL

I don’t know if you have ever heard of Blaise Pascal.

He was a 17^th century French mathematicion, philosopher, and theologian.

He said.

 "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

 The reason for that is not that the President or the General   are inherently evil, they're not.

They simply do not understand what they are reading.

 They have been taught by religious fundamentalists that all of this Biblical stuff is to be taken literally.

 They have no idea that they are actually going to war over mythology, but they are.

 The war of Armageddon is a battle for the human mind. It is a clash that takes place between forces above which are angles of light descending, and referred to in the scriptures as the  7 Angels of revelation.

 Our young men and women are dying daily .

 Fighting not to defend the United States, but to hasten the return of Jesus Christ.

The President and the General are deeply committed to this crusade .

 They feel they have heard from God and they have been chosen by God to send your kids to die in this glorious Biblical slaughter.

And that my friends is why Government and Religion don't mix and why the founding fathers of this country were so fearful of powerful people who claimed that God spoke to them and told them what to do at the expense of all the others who have never heard a word from this God of War.

AND FOR BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS WHO DISAGREE

Keep in mind the words of Jesus Christ who said, render to Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods.

In other words keep them separate.
