Christians: Another Hoax Exposed

Organic Food Not Healthier

Why bring this up on Acts 29 Review? Because so many of you have been duped for years about so many things that you have accepted them as fact, when indeed, in most cases there's no prove, just the thought that it sound cool or sounds right, so by faith you simply accept it.

More importantly, you start to pursue these things as a cause, and in doing so get way off track of what the eternal purpose of God is in Jesus Christ, or even know that there is such a thing.

I'll get more into that in the near future, but for now, all that environmental, global warming, climate change stuff?, don't worry or fret about it. Most of it is unproven nonsense based on people with agendas you probably wouldn't believe, but who infiltrated the educational systems of the world a long time ago and have brainwashed you at a time when you trusted them as reliable and honest.

Even with near total control of education and the media, many of these false and unproven theories still aren't believed by many people, and they're being stripped of their credibility as people break through the media blackouts and honest people talk about the reality of what's really happening.

While I've known of many studies about organic food not really being any more beneficial than other food for years, it's good to hear this group of studies being reported on as a solid confirmation of that fact.

Here's how an article reported it:

"Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said consumers were paying higher prices for organic food because of its perceived health benefits, creating a global organic market worth an estimated $48 billion in 2007.

"Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority."

Now you know why organic food has been touted as better than other food; $48 billion reasons why. This information was culled from a reveiw of 162 scientific papers over the last 50 years.

For us Christians, we must learn to not be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine. This isn't just talking about theology or things about Christ, but things like we're talking about here, where you can believe in simple stuff like this when there is nothing but a false faith being used to be convinced of it.

The point is to stay in fellowship with Christ, don't get involved and caught up with the affairs of this world, and enjoy life and all that Christ has in it - for and with us.

Ignore the Global Warming Hoax and Know Christ

I don't like to get too far off of the focus of this blog and website, which is to encourage everyone to make one thing their sole aim in life, and that is to know Jesus Christ, who is willing and able to help and empower you on that endeavor.

But one of the many hoaxes connected to a series of hoaxes continues to disrupt and distract Christians from that endeavor, so I thought I'd include an article from another writer here to deal with one of the environmental hoaxes: global warming.

Like I said, the point is to understand the reasoning behind global warming fiction, and then discard it as a distraction to knowing and learning Christ, and get back on that path, which is the purpose for our creation and existencel

Here's the article in its entirety:


It's Not Just That Global Warming Is Fake. What Matters Is Why This Fakery Is Being Promoted.

Global warming is based 100% on junk science. The most vocal promoters are not interested in the details of physical science. They are interested in two things: political control over the general public and the establishment of international socialism.

Junk Science vs. Real Science

For a detailed, footnoted, 12-page article, written by three scientists, two with Ph.D's from CalTech, click here.

This paper was sent to tens of thousands of natural scientists in the United States.
Over 31,000 scientists have put their reputations on the line and signed a politically incorrect petition opposing the 1997 Kyoto agreement or protocol. Here is a photocopy of a signed petition.

Here is a letter from a former president of the National Academy of Sciences. He asks recipients of the petition to sign it.

Back in the 1970's, the bugaboo was the coming ice age, as this Time Magazine article promoted. Not to be outdone, Newsweek got on board. The article warned: "Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects." Want more examples? Click here.

It, too, was based on junk science. It, too, had the same solution: government control over the economy. The goal never changes: government management over the economy. The justification has changed. If the voters won't accept control over their lives on the basis of one brand of junk science, maybe they will accept another. As they used to say in the Nixon Administration: "Let's run this up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes."

Socialism's Last Stand

The global warming movement is not about global warming. It is about the creation of an international political control arrangement by which bureaucrats who favor socialism can gain control over the international economy.

This strategy was stated boldly by economist Robert Heilbroner in 1990. Heilbroner, the multi-millionaire socialist and author of the best-selling history of economic thought, The Worldly Philosophers, wrote the manifesto for these bureaucrats. He did this in an article, "Reflections: After Communism," published by The New Yorker (Sept. 10, 1990).

In this article, he made an astounding admission. He said that Ludwig von Mises had been right in 1920 in his article, "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth." Mises argued that without private ownership, central planners could not know what any resource is worth to consumers. With no capital market, the planners would be flying blind.

Heilbroner said that for 70 years, academic economists had either ignored this article or dismissed it without answering it. Then Heilbroner wrote these words: "Mises was right."

Heilbroner was one of these people. There is no reference to Mises in The Worldly Philosophers.

This admission was the preliminary section of Heilbroner's manifesto. He was cutting off all hope by socialists that there is a theoretically plausible response to Mises. The free market economy will always outproduce a socialist economy. Get used to it, he said.

Then, in the second section, he called on his socialist peers to get behind the ecology movement. Here, he said, is the best political means for promoting central planning, despite its inefficiency. In the name of ecology, he said, socialists can get a hearing from politicians and voters.

The article is not online. An abstract is. Here is the concluding thought of the abstract.

The direction in which things are headed is some version of capitalism, whatever its title. In Eastern Europe, the new system is referred to as Not Socialism. Socialism may not continue as an important force now that Communism is finished. But another way of looking at socialism is as the society that must emerge if humanity is to cope with the ecological burden that economic growth is placing on the environment. From this perspective, the long vista after Communism leads through capitalism into a still unexplored world that roust [must?] be safely attained and settled before it can be named.

Heilbroner did not care that a worldwide government-run economic planning system would not be called called socialism. He just wanted to see the system set up.

Heilbroner's peers got the message. That was what Kyoto was all about.

Conclusion

If you like poverty, inefficiency, and bureaucratic controls over the economy, and therefore control over your choices, the "climate change" movement is ideal.

If you want to subsidize China and India, neither of which will enforce the rules laid down by unelected international bureaucrats, this movement is for you.

If you want to pay more for less energy, there is no better way than to pass the cap and tax bill which the House has passed. It will be sent to the U.S. Senate next week.
The rest of us should oppose it.

Again, the point of including this on Acts 29 Review, is to understand the forces behind the global warming, climate change hoax, and not allow it to upset and distract you from the only important thing in life - knowing and fellowshipping with Jesus Christ.

Knowing the Lord | A Practice We Can All Do

Never has there been more clutter in our lives than there is today. The enormous amount of information and in-your-face communication is so invasive, its come to the point where it can have a negative effect on our walk with Jesus Christ and knowing Him.

If we really want a chance of having a significant relationship and fellowship with Christ, we need to take steps to counter the waves of information being thrown at us.

One thing that believers that have had a close walk with Christ through the centuries have all had in common, is learning to tune out the world and look to the Lord within them.

In our modern age, there's nothing more important than simply cutting off the source of the information and communication overload.

When I say cut it off, I don't mean permanently, otherwise we'd have to be out of the world. I mean we need to simply turn off all the gadgets we use to receive information, and sit quietly before the Lord and fellowship with Him.

That includes your telephones, television, Internet, newspaper, etc.

In other words, don't give in to the temptation to grab print or digital gadgets, computers or newspapers. As soon as you do, they're made to grab your attention and draw you in.

In no time at all you're distracted so quickly that hopes of securing quality time with the Lord becomes hopeless.

Rather, what we should do is close ourselves off from it periodically, and better at set times, and simply fellowship with the Lord without distraction.

If you're too busy to do that, then maybe you need to think of lifestyle changes.

This is what Jesus was talking about when He talked about the parable of the seed and the sower. If you've got all the distractions of life combating you, it's impossible for the fruit of fellowship with Him to come forth. It's always full of mixture, which has no value before the Lord.

Once you practice quieting yourself before the Lord, from there the practice can become more consistent, and you can learn to do it in the midst of the hussle and bussle of life. That takes time and practice though, and you've got to start somewhere, which is why quiet time is so important.

So how does one enter into the presence of the Lord? It's simply and immediately by faith. We don't need to feel Him or sense Him, rather we know He lives within us, and that He defines eternal life as fellowship with Him and the Father.

In other words, the desire and will is there on Jesus' part to fellowship intimately with us, so it falls on us to allow the clutter to fall away and simply enjoy the presence of God within us by faith.

That's the key. Exterior clutter is an enemy of our walk with Jesus, so it's our job to ensure we don't get distracted by all the outward things that always pressure upon us.

The truth is those outward things and problems will always be there. Get rid of one and another will surface. That's the way of life in this world. We'll always have troubles here.

So we must learn to continue to fellowship with the Lord, individually and corporately, while those storms of life are always beating down upon us.

If we don't, the desire of the heart of God to be in a love relationship with us will be frustrated, and we'll be a people most miserable.

By the way, this isn't just in relationship to difficult things in life either. Be wary of those people always chasing causes and not Christ.

That's just the 'good' side of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You can get easily led away from the simplicity of Christ in the name of good; sometimes even more so.

Jesus is interested in life and not good. Jesus defines eternal life as fellowship with Him and the Father. It's as simple as that.

The fact that He defines eternal life that way, means it was something in the Godhead that was before time and creation. It was what was of value to God, and what motivated Him to create us.

This doesn't mean we don't do good, just that we don't obsess with the knowledge of good as pushed upon us from without by the world. All you have to do is read the hideous amount of alleged crises out there, and you could become borderline psychotic in despair because it looks like the world is about to fall apart at any time.

Don't worry though, Jesus is still Lord, and has everything under control. Be cautious of those that use time as a weapon to move you off your position of fellowship with Christ.

Time is a tool of manipulation used to get us to give our time and money to something, that if we didn't, the world would surely end.

We see this all the time with those who attempt to use politics as a tool to get what they want, and to enforce their will on the rest of us.

Anyway, be careful of anything that draws you away from the simplicity of Christ, as Paul warns us in the Scriptures.

One of the greatest practices to ensure that is to take quiet time with the Lord, shutting out all outside influences, and from there learn to do it on a daily, and eventually moment by moment basis.

Just ask Jesus to give you the will and wisdom in it, and He surely will answer you.

Jesus Christ: The Tree of Life - 1

Over the next several posts we'll take a look at Jesus Christ as the Tree of Life. Having insight into, and embracing Christ as the Tree of Life is extremely valuable; especially in this age of instant communication, where not only the volume of news and communication can overwhelm people, but the nature and content of that communication as well.

The reason the Tree of Life was in the center of the garden of Eden was because He was meant to be the center of all life. While that has been true in eternity, it is true as well in the created world we live on.

Just about everything that surrounds us can move us off the important reason and purpose for our existence: intimate fellowship with the Godhead. Christ represents that as the Tree of Life.

Only internalizing the fruit of that Tree could give us the life we were created to live. Adam and Eve failed to do it, and chose a different course, a course most continue to follow to this day, even though they take the name of Christ upon them.

I believe that there is no hope for someone refusing to internalize Christ as their life. When I say no hope, I mean by that not being able to consciously live by another life within us. We'll be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine blowing around out there. Our lives will be a continuous exercise in futility and frustration as we can't figure out why when we're believers in Christ, we seem to never have the peace, rest and satisfaction that should come with that.

We'll consume the knowledge of good and evil that will always produce death rather than life. It's an endless circle when that route is taken, and you can't get off it unless you choose the Tree of Life over that.

We're not simply talking about someone getting saved; that's simply the doorway into what we were meant to be and focus on: the eternal purpose. It gets us right with God so we can get back to what our true calling really is.

Jesus Christ is the Tree of Life, and unless we pursue internalizing Him and fellowshipping with Him inside of us, we'll be on a journey of never being fulfilled, as the purpose we were created for isn't understood or embraced.

When I mention pursuing internalizing Him above, I mean by that allowing Him to change us within, and into His image; not just positionally, but in practice. To do that we must fellowship and be with Him at all times.

So in these next several posts we'll talk about Adam and Eve at the beginning, what happened in the Garden, and what it is they saw when tempted.
