We are the enemy, not China, not Russia, not Iran, not North Korea, not Cuba, not Venezuela, not Gaza, not every nation in the world except the United States. We, the United States, are the enemy of peace.

As I make holiness my goal, the closer I come, the further away I see that I am.

There is no such thing as a steady state. There are beginnings and endings and in between there is change. In the entire universe throughout all time, every instant is unique. Reality never repeats itself. Creativity is the law of the Creation. If you sit in meditation in order to attain a state of nirvana or samadhi or satori or enlightenment, you will never attain it. There are no such states. There are no steady states of any kind in this world.

“Trust in the Lord for ever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”

Isaiah 26:3-4

Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians want a #TwoStateSolution. They both want a one state solution that excludes the other. Israel wants the Palestinians gone. The Palestinians want the Israelis gone.

Zionism is the original sin in this situation. The Zionists believe that God has given them this land and told them to get rid of the Canaanites. They are Old Testament reenactors playing with loaded guns. Zionism is false. There is nothing Biblical about it.

When I think about or am asked about, who is going to Heaven and who to Hell, my answer is that I am not the judge of who receives salvation. That is above my pay grade. Jesus Christ will save whomever he chooses to save. Are all of those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God justified? The devil believes every word of the Nicene Creed. Is he going to Heaven? I abstain from the argument between the universalists and those who believe in the salvation of the predetermined elect. I hope, when I die, to see my parents, my grandparents, my ex-wife, my friends, even my enemies, believers and non-believers alike, but I am confident that whatever Heaven is like, it will be good, because God is good.

Zionism is a cult that uses the Torah as its justification like the jihadists use the Koran. Christians who believe that the Zionists are God’s chosen people are ignorant of what Jesus and Saint Paul have to say on the subject in the New Testament. Israel is a creation of British empire.

This quote from The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis is a great description of an acid trip:

“It is not an illusion when thou art sometimes suddenly carried away into rapture, and then suddenly art brought back to the wonted vanities of thy heart. For thou dost rather unwillingly undergo them than cause them; and so long as they displease thee and thou strivest against them, it is a merit and no loss.”

I can understand someone who is repulsed by the death and rape and kidnapping inflicted on innocent people, young and old, by Muslim fanatics who deny Israel’s right to exist. I can understand those who are horrified by the open air prison of the Gaza Strip where innocent people are denied basic human rights, have their homes destroyed, are murdered, in the name of Israel’s right to occupy the land given to the Jewish people by Jehovah. What I cannot understand is how anyone can be 100% on one side or the other. Another thing I cannot understand is the demand for censorship and canceling of all those who sympathize with the Palestinians, from people who supposedly hate censorship and cancel culture.
