Why I am not a socialist

Some reasons why I am not helping to build the kingdom of the Beast

By Julio Severo

Socialism is a fashion among atheists since Karl Marx. In its essence, socialism enthrones the State in the center of everything, as if the State had some kind of divine vocation or permission to replace God and meet all human needs: education, health, housing, employment, etc. Intending or not, every government promising such total provision is socialistic.

The socialist fashion has imposed on the collective mindset the strange “normalcy” of viewing government as responsible for taking care of all human needs, as if we needed a state super-nanny “caring” for us for a lifetime. Ask a cleaning woman or a powerful businessman what the role of the State is, and they will robotically echo: to deliver education, health, housing, employment, etc. The brainwashing is virtually finished now. Everything is ready for the coming of the kingdom of the Beast.

This brainwashing, which is widespread today, hit and so changed the mindset of many nominal Christians that they defend naturally ideas that are basically leftist. They unashamedly defend a State in the place of God, albeit with other words. 

I for one am unashamed not to belong to that ideology, and I give now my reasons why I do not accept a State in the place of God.

1. I am not a socialist because I am not an idolater. The Bible puts God as the supreme provider. In the past, heathens put in this stand Baal and other gods. Today, socialists put the State as the supreme provider, giving it a character and function completely outside God’s purposes. To accept that role for the State imposed by socialism is to embrace idolatry and fall into serious sin against God.

2. I am not a socialist because I am not stupid. The Bible says that “by their fruits you will know them”. What has been the fruit of Marxism, created by Satanist Karl Marx? Socialism and its variations brought forth to the world more than 100 million murders. Socialism is undeniably the most murderous ideology today.

3. I am not a socialist because I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. There is no place in my life for socialism. Jesus walked healing and preaching the Kingdom of God, while the preachers of the Integral Mission “gospel” and other Liberation Theology labels preach, in Christian vestures, the kingdom of this world — the government in the place of God. The only kind of healing these false messengers preach is the state health care, funded by abusive and criminal taxes that violate God’s commands.

4. I am not a socialist because I am not a blasphemer. I do not mix Bible with the ideology of Karl Marx and his successors. I do not use the Gospel and the precious name of Jesus Christ to promote socialism and a socialist State. I cannot serve two masters, because it would be blasphemy to preach that, in the presence of the blood spilled of Jesus Christ that has been saving so many souls, an ideology that has shed so much innocent blood is the answer for the poor. I came from a past of poverty, and Jesus was my answer. To equate slightly the blood-shedding socialism with Jesus that shed his own blood for me would be blasphemy. 

5. I am not a socialist because I do not want blindly to help a corrupt system. The Bible makes it clear that in the last days an arrogant and strong idolatrous State will raise up, demanding worship to itself. This day has come. We are in the last time foretold by God’s Word. The State today has almost no similarity with what a State should be according to Romans 13. Modern State is a false god, with its homosexual priests (as the old heathen religions) and pro-abortion, thirsty for innocent blood (as the old heathen religions).

6. I am not a socialist because I do not accept that the State became a religion, requiring worship to itself above all the religions, commands, precepts, etc. The State today is increasingly reflecting the image of the Beast, imposing itself above religions, equating Jesus Christ, the sovereign King of the Universe, with all the false gods, including from witchcraft, and imposing the submission of citizens to its pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality commands. The State-Beast today is a religion that will not accept anything except worship and submission. 

7. I am not a socialist because I am not cynic. Intending or not, admitting or not, a Christian working for socialism is promoting a strange glory, though unashamedly he may say that everything is for God’s glory. Jesus does not need socialism to glorify his name. Jesus does not need a welfare and provider-of-everything State to achieve the objectives of the Kingdom of God.

8. I am not a socialist because I am a Kingdom of God citizen. In these last days, when individual States are merging and turning themselves into a super-state — or State-Beast — foreseen in the Revelation, I am glad to be a member of the army of prophetic resistance, which with the Lamb will overcome (see Revelation 17:14). The Government of God shall come and destroy the world government of the Beast built for a long time by the sympathizers of socialism and other aberrations.

9. I am not a socialist because I preach another government system. King Jesus has his own government system. That government system is called Kingdom of God. While atheist, Catholic, evangelical and animist socialists preach the kingdom of Karl Marx and his successors, I and many others preach the Kingdom of God.

10. I am not a socialist because I do not want to help to build the world government of the Beast. While an innumerable crowd is building the world kingdom of the Beast through socialism, I and many others are advancing the Kingdom of God, which shall destroy the kingdom of the Beast.

11. I am not a socialist because I am not an accomplice of thief and liar. The socialist State, which usurps the place of God promising to meet all human needs (health, education, housing, employment, etc.), has to impose abusive and criminal taxes on the population. And even after stealing continuously, it does not fulfill its promises. However it may be, the State has no permission from God to steal, regardless its justifications for the stealing.

12. I am not a socialist because I believe, as Romans 13, that the role of the State is only to punish criminals, including with capital punishment when necessary, and to praise good citizens. Any government overpassing and perverting the limits of Romans 13 is demonic and deserves to be denounced and repulsed. Any Christian preaching a government overpassing these limits is a false messenger and deserves to be prophetically denounced.

13. I am not a socialist because I believe in the revelations of God’s Word. The book of Revelation warns positively on the threats from the Beast, which will be a comprehensive and domineering State. The State-Beast wants for itself and its commands the maximum attention from everybody. The State-Beast promising care for every need of everybody forces all citizens to remain under its total welfare coverage. The State-Beast requiring being in the place of God reflects in truth its soul of Baal, with sacrifices of babies (abortion) and sacred and untouchable priests of homosexuality.

14. I am not a socialist because I have eyes to see and ears to hear what God’s Word shows and says. Whoever has eyes to see and ears to hear, let him pay attention to what God shows and says about the Beast, the gruesome State in these last days, which will mislead everybody. Promising to grant education, health, housing, employment, etc., who would fail to deceive the population? Year after year, the most corrupt politicians make these promises, and year after year the population elects them… The State-Beast already knows what to do to capture the people’s heart.

15. I am not a socialist because there is no ideology fighting so much as socialism so that “the kingdom of the Beast will come”. Certainly, there are other ideologies collaborating, but by far socialism is the master of ceremonies in this macabre and apocalyptic show of the Beast.

16. I am not a socialist because I am a son of God, not a fruit of imbecile ideologies impregnating collectively universities and schools. Modern schools, captured by the socialist ideology, deform citizens, forming a socialist mindset in children that will be congressmen, ministers, priests, physicians — everybody cast in the same casting, in the same mindset that the State should meet all the needs of everybody. I broke the casting. I belong to Jesus!

17. I am not a socialist because I am not manipulated. Most ministers in Nazi Germany used Romans 13 to teach German evangelicals to be submissive to the Nazi government. So do today leftist ministers on behalf of socialist governments. So will do ministers on behalf of the State-Beast. Even though those “revolutionary” ministers faithfully use Romans 13 to preach “submission and respect” to welfare governments, regardless how murderous they are, they do not hesitate to inflame their evangelical flocks with rebellious attitudes towards any and every government failing to fulfill the socialist ideal.

18. I am not a socialist because I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I love him and I hear his voice. Jesus is sufficient for me. Jesus and his government system — the Kingdom of God — are sufficient for me.

Those are only some of the reasons why I reject socialism and every ideology putting the State on a pedestal and in the center of the lives of human beings.

A time for prophetic resistance

Yet, the brainwashing in the conscious and subconscious of the masses has been so a profound, gradual and systematic process that even my arguments, which may appear many, are few. They are like a little stone in the overwhelming presence of the Goliath of leftist indoctrination prevalent throughout the society. They are insufficient to reverse the overpowering ideological hypnotization imposed on the mindset of the majority.

Nevertheless, I will continue preaching the Kingdom of God and its righteousness.

Nevertheless, I will continue serving King Jesus Christ in the context we are in — in the prophetic context of Revelation. It is in this context we should see the State and what it has changed into and what it is changing into.

While the order of God in Romans 13 is respect and submission to a State that respects and is submissive to the limits and calling God imposed on it, the direction for the followers of Jesus in Revelation is neither respect nor submission to the State-Beast. The State has changed, and so has done also God’s direction for the behavior of the Kingdom of God citizens in the modern society. The order in Revelation is resistance — to resist until the Kingdom of God comes.

So very gladly I say, pray and prophesize:

Come, Kingdom of God!

And certainly the Kingdom of God shall come and destroy all the systems and ideologies opposed to God and his indestructible government or put themselves in the place of God.

Amen.

Socialism, Islam and Hell

Liberals and their paranoia

By Julio Severo

The same socialism condemning conservative Christians as “fundamentalists” and “fanatics” protects Islam by calling it a “religion of peace” — while its adherents persistently take away the peace and lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people yearly.

That protection is largely an effect of the effort of some Western liberal Jews, who managed to establish laws to protect minorities. Those laws are today exploited by homosexual and Islamic activists to protect their own interests and impose on the Western societies the homosexual and Islamic ideology. Christians eventually pay the bill, suffering pressures and oppressions from completely antagonistic groups.

By contrast, Christians are routinely persecuted in Islamic nations. But, incredibly, now Islamic groups demand an international law against “Islamophobia”, because they say that Islam needs protection from people that do not like terror and terrorists produced by the “religion of peace”. Muslims, with the support of socialists, have learnt how to exploit the Western paranoia against intolerance, prejudice and discrimination and they are being able to persecute and oppress Christians and Jews in their own turf.

When it comes to paranoia, the Islamic mind is not much different from the socialist mind.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran that denies the Holocaust and says that he wants do destroy Israel, has an administration that sees no problem in the torture and murder of homosexuals. But Ahmadinejad was never annoyed by the same socialist human right groups that routinely blame Christians for “crimes” against homosexuals. Those Christian “crimes” do not consist in acts of real violence, but exclusively in views that reflect the Bible condemnation of homosexual practices. That is the socialist reality: silence about what Islamic Iran does, and many coward charges against Christians. 

The visit of president of Iran to his friend Lula in Brazil

Speaking about Ahmadinejad, he visited Brazil November 23. He was warmly welcomed by his socialist friend Lula.

Ahmadinejad funds terrorist groups against Israel, because he ignores and rejects God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Lula has friendship with Ahmadinejad because… Why? Choose the reason:

Lula does not care about God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Lula does not care about the human rights abuses, torture and murder of Christians in Iran.

Lula does not care about the human rights abuses of Jews in Iran.

Lula does not care about torture and murder of homosexuals in Iran.

Lula does not care about the Iranian sponsorship of Islamic terrorist groups against Israel.

You could present a long list of problems in the Islamic Iranian Dictatorship, but Lula does not care. Socialists act this way: they do not care about God, about moral values, about hell and about their own socialist friends — unless they have significant personal interests involved. There is nothing more important for an ambitious socialist than to promote his own glory.

Socialist Shimon Peres visits Lula

Attempting perhaps to weaken the visit Ahmadinejad to Brazil, Israeli president Shimon Peres visited Brazil before Ahmadinejad, November 10. Yet, Lula does not also care about the fact that Peres has the same “democratic” socialist feelings regarding to abortion and homosexuality.

Nevertheless the ideological, moral, political and ethical affinity with Peres, Lula prefers friendship with Ahmadinejad, whose stances are opposed to the stances of Lula and Peres in the abortion and homosexual issues. Would Lula fail to hug Ahmadinejad only because socialist comrade Peres is not easy with the wish of Ahmadinejad to destroy Israel? For some reason, Lula sees in Ahmadinejad another expedient to promote his own glory.

In turn, Shimon Peres does not care much about the fact that, in his about eight-year administration and having visited several Islamic nations near of Israel, Lula has never had the least willingness to visit Israel. In response to the apparent disregard of Lula toward Israel, Peres said, “He has his agenda and priorities. I am not supposed to lecture him. We consider him a friend. We know one another for a long time. We began in the same socialist path. So I can say that I remember him ‘since his childhood’. He has his own way of priorizing things”.

Liberal mind lives hand in hand with paranoia — whether in Brazil, US and even in Israel. Liberal mind does not care about evil when it sees it. When a homosexual rapes a 6-year-old boy, liberal journalism sees only a generic “rape against a child”, without mentioning specific identifications compromising the gay agenda. When an Islamic terrorist murders innocents, liberal journalism applies the same measure, reporting only “the bomb that murdered several people” or the “terror that murdered several people”, leaving radical Islam completely untouched and protected.

Conversely, any crime against a homosexual is used as an opportunity to launch against Christians a specific and detailed blame for the crime, even though no Christian were involved and criminal circumstances suggested possibility of violence among homosexuals. This is part of the liberal paranoia.

Paranoia of the diversity and tolerance ideology

In nations where socialism controls everything, the enemies of the system are eliminated for any and every reason. See Cuba, North Korea, etc. In nations where the population is under gradual conditioning to embrace socialism, society is firstly led to paranoia. It is sheer paranoia to approve laws condemning Christians for the fictitious crime of “homophobia”, because Christians do not have a tradition of murdering homosexuals. But Obama and Lula act this way.

Homeland Security Department says that a true terrorist can be identified by some special characteristics: he can be an individual opposing abortion and homosexuality. Adherence to Islam cannot be considered as terrorist characteristic, because Muslims are minority and they deserve protection. Therefore, even though all the 9/11 terrorists were Islamic and even though all the terrorists attacking Israel are Islamic, liberal ethics orders the establishment to ignore this fact. Similarly, it orders the press to omit the word “homosexual” or “homosexuality” in all violent crimes where young boys were victims of a homosexual.

Recently, Islamic terrorist Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab tried to blow away a jet heading to Detroit. American service secret had information on him for at least two years, but they had a hard time to give exclusive attention to him, because the Muslim individual was in a politically-correct, broad security watch list containing more than 500,000 other threats: conservative Christians, abortion and homosexuality opponents, etc. How to sort out from this massive database the real threats without singling out the followers of the religion of peace?

Mutallab could not be halted months earlier because it would be very expensive to probe all of these “threats” together. Besides, he could not be screened by his Islamic name and religion, because — for the overjoyed followers of the religion of peace — profiling is a crime in the US. In their typical ideological paranoia, American liberals do not care if 100% suicide terrorists against the US have consistently been followers of the religion of peace.

In fact, Obama administration cannot profile people with Muslim names — because Obama is one of them. (Can you convincingly prove that some of the acts of Obama put America at risk?) But Obama administration can freely profile abortion and homosexuality opponents — because Obama is not one of them, being a fervent abortion and homosexuality promoter.

Yet, after this recent terrorist attack, Homeland Security Department is likely to launch more aggressive measures against all the other “threats” in its database without profiling any Islamic name and origin! This makes me wonder who will defeat America first, al Qaeda or PC paranoia? I certainly doubt al Qaeda is stronger than PC paranoia.

If the US had embraced PC ban on profiling in the World War 2, American military would be trying until this day to figure out their real enemies from some another PC massive database containing thousands of thousands of fictitious enemies, and World War 2 would be the perpetual, endless World War. PC paranoia is the best way to perpetuate criminals and their crimes.

In World War 2, Americans forgot only to profile communists, and for such negligence they — and the world — paid an excessively high bloody cost for the next decades. Liberal America creates her own nightmares.

The protection of diversity and tolerance toward perversion in Brazil, US and Europe while supporting Iran and other Islamic nations that hate diversity and tolerance is a trademark of the liberal paranoia. Liberals may criticize, condemn and revile God and his followers, but for them diversity and tolerance are sacred — only in Brazil, US and Europe, and never in Iran, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, etc. I know it for experience, because my blog has been targeted by federal prosecutors in Brazil for criticism of homosexuality and Islam. On March 2008, four Islamic journalists in São Paulo filed a complaint requesting federal prosecutors to shut down my blog for prejudice against Islam, because I denounced Islamic terrorists.

Right to free speech to criticize homosexuality and Islam? This is capitalist talk!

In July 2007, in the same time when Google interdicted my blog for some days because of charges and defamations of homosexual activists, I denounced the homosexual website ParouTudo for posting “Amando Garotos: Pedofilia e a Intolerância Contemporânea” (Loving Boys: Pedophilia and the Contemporary Intolerance), an article defending openly pedophilia. (See more information here: http://lastdayswatchman.blogspot.com/2009/12/day-sex-between-men-and-boys-is-no.html) I had requested authorities to investigate and take action, but today, more than two years later, nothing was done. Is diversity and tolerance paranoia a free way for homosexuals to advocate pedophilia?

ParouTudo remains active on the internet, without any problem, but my blog has been under risk of being closed by federal prosecutors.

So if you think that it is paranoid for Lula to hug Ahmadinejad (whose administration hates Christians, Israel and homosexuals), this is socialism. If you think that it is paranoid for Obama to profile conservative Christians opposed to abortion and homosexuality and not to profile terrorists whose common identification is the “religion of peace”, this is socialism. If you think that it is paranoid for Shimon Peres to humble himself before a Lula that wants alliance with Ahmadinejad, this is socialism.

Modern Israel, dominated by socialism, has gay parades and legal abortion. But with all this incredible ideological affinity, Lula prefers Ahmadinejad, who does not allow abortion and homosexuality in the Islamic Iranian dictatorship. For the sake of his own glory, a socialist — whether atheist, Catholic, Islamic or evangelical — could deliver his own mother and homeland to the devil.

Rebel Jews in the old Israel, whose history of apostasy is found in the Old Testament, belittled hell, where they eventually ended. Today, even knowing in lesser or greater measure this account, Lula, Obama e Shimon Peres equally belittle hell and fall down before the same socialism that is selling their nations to the fatal deceitfulness of the homosexual, abortion and Islamic ideology.

The day sex between men and boys is no longer offensive

Brazilian movie seeks to shatter “taboo” of incest and homosexual sex among boys by presenting both behaviors as “love”

By Julio Severo

Two men hugging and kissing one another. What kind of scenario is this? It is a scenario that, for the audiences, is objectionable, but for the media, with its disproportionately high number of gays, is beautiful.

Nevertheless the massive systematic indoctrination from government and media, this scenario still offends the Brazilian audiences. The omnipresent state propaganda of the federal campaign Brazil without Homophobia did not still achieve the level of total change in the people’s mindset. Shock still persists.

To avoid shock, gay activists are forced to embellish at the utmost this scenario, by utilizing everything calling to mind innocence and purity: children, angels, Jesus, etc. Nothing is exempt from exploitation when it comes to the gay agenda and its advance.

That was exactly the strategy of the producers of the Brazilian movie “Do Começo Ao Fim” (From Beginning to End), which opens using the scenario of two boys to achieve its greater objective to shatter all barrier and resistance against incest and homosexual sex. Its producers warn, “If the intent is to smash a taboo or to provoke impact, this movie is certain to achieve its aim”. Its preview, with English subtitles, is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DVa2DKSnU0

“From Beginning to End” seeks to convey the idea that 6, 7 or 8 year-old boys look for homosexual experiences. Homosexual groups as NAMBLA have preached for many years that boys have interest in homosexual sex. “From Beginning to End” comes to confirm this ambition.

Sooner or later, a filmmaker will come, similarly abusing free speech, to promote a movie about “love between a man and a boy”. In fact, everything is ready to smash this “taboo”. The most important homosexual leader in Brazil, Luiz Mott, has been accused of defending pedophilia. But he is not the only Brazilian homosexual to do this. Years ago, Denilson Lopes, a homosexual university professor in Brasilia, wrote and published the article “Amando Garotos: Pedofilia e a Intolerância Contemporânea” (Loving Boys: Pedophilia and the Contemporary Intolerance). He is the author of the book “O Homem que Amava Rapazes e Outros Ensaios” (A Man that Loved Boys and Other Essays).

I denounced publicly this defense of pedophilia, but federal prosecutors — who always answer the call from gay militants to take action against my blog — have never taken any measure against the article “Loving Boys”, demonstrating that a “taboo” is being smashed. The looming homosexual pedophilic threat proves its inseparability from the entrails of the homosexual movement.

Brazil, in its current phase of high homosexual indoctrination, will not stay forever only in “From Beginning to End” of homosexual sex between a boy and another boy. This movie is only a preparation for a more advanced phase, where another opportunistic filmmaker will launch another taboo-smasher. This will be the “Beginning of the End”. In that darker future, the presentation of homosexual sex between a boy and another boy will be passé subject. The fad will then be to present the normalcy of the homosexual sex between men and boys.

Yet, do you think that homosexual activists are foolish to show the End at the very Beginning? Eventually, they will talk plainly, but only in the End. However, until that time, with all taboos smashed, nobody will care if the fad then is to think that 6, 7 or 8 year-old boys look for “sexual love” from homosexual adults.

“From Beginning to End” is one of the first seeds for the building of this new way to think.

Rick Warren attacks anti-homosexuality bill

Meanwhile, Evangelical Alliance Ireland supports pro-homosexuality bill

By Julio Severo

Gay activists, who despise the divine condemnation of homosexuality, do not hesitate to use and distort the words of Jesus Christ to teach Christians that the only way for Christians to be able to demonstrate love for homosexuals is by supporting the approval of anti-“homophobia” bills.

Without such support, homosexual militants insist that Christians deserve labels as “homophobic”, hypocrites, murderers of homosexuals, etc. Their insistence is steady throughout the media. Their charges against Christians are incessant.

If constant dripping will eventually wear away a stone, then it seems that homosexual dripping is wearing away the evangelical resistance.

In Ireland, a pro-homosexuality bill received the support from the Evangelical Alliance Ireland (EAI), which explained its stance by saying that if Jesus Christ did not discriminate, so Christians are not also supposed to discriminate. EAI declared,

“Co-habiting couples are a reality — this legislation seeks to deal with that reality from a legal perspective. We may disagree on the detail of the legislation but as followers of a just and compassionate God we can recognise the justice and fairness of providing some legal protection for the reality of both same-sex and opposite-sex cohabiting relationships”.

On the other hand, Rick Warren embraced similar stance to use God’s compassion to condemn a heavy anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda. This African nation, which formerly had homosexual kings that abused boys, still faces today sexual abuses against boys. Moreover, Uganda is under international pressure to support the gay agenda. But it was not to condemn vehemently homosexual abuses against boys that Warren meddled in Uganda.

Differently from Islamic nations as Iran, which executes homosexuals arbitrarily, the Ugandan bill condemns to capital punishment only men persistent in homosexuality, homosexuals that rape boys and HIV homosexuals that infect other people.

Warren explained his motives to meddle in Uganda,

“We are all familiar with Edmund Burke’s insight that, ‘All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.’ That is why I'm sharing my heart with you today. As an American pastor, it is not my role to interfere with the politics of other nations, but it IS my role to speak out on moral issues.”

Yet, Warren, whose experience includes meetings with religious Muslims leaders, does not use his role to speak out to Muslims that they should stop persecuting Christians. He also does not use his role to speak out against the Islamic laws that condemn homosexuals to death.

In his own nation, the United States, Warren has refrained from using his role to speak out against aggressive homosexual bills. He has also refrained from bothering Obama and his administration, which are explicitly pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality. Before the Obamanian majesty, instead of using his role to speak out on abortion and homosexuality, Warren limits himself to a smooth-tongued behavior.

The Ugandan bill is likely not to be approved, because international opposition — stemming from homosexual groups, UN and EU — has been massive.

In my view, the most problematic part of this bill is the imposition on Ugandan citizens to denounce to police homosexual practices. That imposition would harm Christian ministries that help homosexuals.

But Warren’s view is that the heavy Ugandan bill does not reflect the Gospel.

Yet, let’s talk plainly. What is the law that reflects the Gospel?

Does a law that condemns, fines, arrests or executes murderers reflect the Gospel?

Does a law that condemns, fines, arrests or executes pedophiles reflect the Gospel?

Does a law that condemns, fines, arrests or executes rapists reflect the Gospel?

Let’s be realistic: the Gospel does not condemn, fine, arrest or execute anyone. The Gospel did not come to condemn, fine, arrest or execute any criminal. The only kind of condemnation the Gospel mentions is eternal condemnation, making it clear that men that choose to live in sin shall be condemned to eternal death, being destined to suffer in Hell, eternally separated from God.

The Gospel came to save sinners. That is its exclusive occupation. So if because of the Gospel human laws cannot condemn homosexuality, then because of the same Gospel they cannot condemn murders, rapes and pedophilia

As far as the Gospel is concerned, we love homosexuals, pedophiles, murderers, rapists, etc. We love them because Jesus loves them and wants to save them. Yet, this does not mean that we should oppose laws that condemn homosexuality, pedophilia, murders, rapes, etc.

Twenty years ago, International Amnesty got in touch with me asking for my support against death penalty in Texas, because in the 1980s I was a member of a team that ministered, by correspondence, to prisoners in death row in Texas. My mission was to minister to Spanish-speaking prisoners. All of them had committed gruesome murders.

Can the Gospel save such criminals? Of course! For a long time I talked about Jesus’ love to them, sending Christian literature in Spanish, etc. Yet, whether they wanted to open their hearts to Jesus or not, my view is that they should pay their social debt.

Human laws were fulfilling their role, condemning a murderer with maximum penalty. My mission was only to lead the murderer to know the love of Jesus Christ.

There is a separation between law and Gospel. The State should fulfill its role to punish those that violate just laws. The role of the Gospel is not to destroy just laws, but only to fulfill another role: to reach out all the sinners with the message of salvation.

It is unfortunate that in his own country, Warren has refrained from using his role to speak out on behalf of Christian efforts to defend natural marriage against systematic assaults from the homosexual movement. Doubtless, Warren does not want to offend and infuriate homosexual groups or the liberal media, which does not praise of kind of defense.

Apparently, that same media, which does not condemn Islamic laws against homosexuality, is condemning the anti-homosexuality bill in the Christian Uganda. And, with all of these spotlights, Obama enters the stage.

Obama defends openly the murder of innocent unborn babies. If Warren, who in his public opportunities with Obama, has never used his role to speak out against such murderous inclinations, why is he now meddling in Uganda? Where is his consistency?

Is it fair for Warren to remember his “role to speak out on moral issues” only to Uganda, and not to Obama and his administration? Is it fair for Warren to be forceful and vehement only to Uganda, and not to Obama and his administration?

I like Warren when he says what is fair. But it is hard to appreciate when he and others, in the name of a smooth-tongued Christian love, seem to demonstrate more interest in getting media sympathy than challenging the unfair standards imposed by liberal trends.

As the Apostle Paul teaches in Romans, we have to transform ourselves by the renewing of the way we think. Without this regular transformation, we are inevitably dragged by the maelstroms, fads and traps of this world. Without this regular transformation, we get entrapped by the way the world thinks. Without this regular transformation, the Gospel becomes, instead a message of salvation and deliverance from sin, a creature in the image of human ideas and wishes:

In the hands of gay activists and liberal and progressive Christians, the Gospel is a tool to promote the acceptance of sinners with their sins. They use the Gospel to preach insistently that the only way for Christians to prove that they are as compassionate as their God is by supporting bills stemming from the entrails of the homosexual movement.

In the hands of Christians that want to please both sides, the Gospel is a tool of political, social and religious conveniences.

In the hands of the Holy Spirit, the Gospel is a tool distinct, but not opposed, from laws condemning sin. A fair law deals with misdeeds by punishing the violator. The Gospel deals with sinners to save them from eternal condemnation, without exempting them from paying their social and criminal debts here on the Earth.

Without this understanding of the separation between law and Gospel, you can easily stumble into the same delusions of the Evangelical Alliance Ireland.

May these examples help us to be balanced, impartial and fair on the law and Gospel.

Int’l Pressure on Uganda to Accept Homosexuality Caused Over-the-Top Sanctions: Christian Activist

Dividing land with Palestinians or returning it to Mexicans?

Politically-correct justice of Obama wants violation of the territorial integrity of Israel, but no violation of the territorial integrity of the US

By Julio Severo

Barack Obama is the man of inclusivity, plurality and diversity. What does it mean? It means that he respects the politically-correct ideology above traditions, morality and Christianity itself, which is an inseparable and undeniable part of the founding of the United States.

PC ideology commands Obama to remind in his speeches the Islamic participation in the building of the US. Even though that participation was insignificant, the law of inclusivity, plurality and diversity commands their inclusion in full equality.

Were men that lived in homosexual vice discriminated against because the population in the past did not tolerate their behavior and obscenities? With Obama in the presidency, the order now is “change”. The law of inclusivity, plurality and diversity commands their inclusion also, and Obama is proud to appoint to high posts in his administration active and actively pornographic homosexuals.

Now, at last, Muslims and homosexuals can hug one another and say, “We are included by what were are and do!”

The law of inclusivity, plurality and diversity is today an important exportation commodity “made in USA”, largely scattered abroad by the United Nations. Obama, who knows how to pervert the Bible for his own interests and whims, is using the American experience in the Gospel exportation in the past to export now the “gospel” of inclusivity, plurality and diversity.

He wants to teach the world, in the new world order style, that the old barriers and “prejudices” should be broken. And those barriers do not refer only to homosexuals and Muslims. They refer to communist dictators too.

And they refer also to lands!

Do Muslim Palestinians reclaim lands to establish in the world another anti-Israel Islamic nation?

No problem. Obama knows that, in the 1847 war, the US defeated Mexico and forced it to sell and deliver Mexican territories, which included what today is California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and other “American” states. What about to grant now those territories to Palestinians?

If he cannot treat as sacred the land God gave only to Jews, so why should He treat as US sacred property lands that formerly were Mexican?

After all, there is no God’s promise in the Bible saying that those territories are to be or remain exclusive American property forever. So if the law of inclusivity, plurality and diversity commands Obama to break old barriers and “prejudices”, what is the problem about giving those lands to Palestinians?

Yet, because of an issue of politically-correct ethics, Obama cannot do it. What he needs to do is to ask forgiveness from Mexicans and return to them California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and other former Mexican lands.

That example would give the world the assurance that Obama is consistent and faithful to his own ideology, making his own country to pay the cost of his “change”. That act would show the world that Obama is willing to overcome any nationalist tradition for the building of a New World Order.

Yes, he will do sacrifices on behalf of his faithfulness to inclusivity, plurality and diversity — on the condition that only Israel and other nations pay the cost. Do Palestinians want half of Israel? Obama is determined to grant them their wish. Do they want also Jerusalem as the capital of their yearned Islamic nation? Obama will not hesitate to break the old tradition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel!

As far as it depends on Obama, “change” will be reality for the division of the land God gave only to the posterity of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. “Change” will be, by the imperial will of Obama, the only option for the Jews.

His “change” would never sacrifice California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and other “American” states to Palestinians. Similarly, Brazilian president Lula, the socialist friend of Ahmadinejad of Iran, would never sacrifice Amazon to Palestinians. But they will readily sacrifice the territorial integrity of Israel.

However, whether they like or not, by imposing the forced division of the land of Israel, Obama and other American leaders are investing in the division and destruction of the US. No nation and empire can impose itself on the small nation of Israel without going unpunished. There will be, sooner or later, “change” for the US — a “change” determined and decreed by the One that overthrew all the haughty empires that violated the territorial integrity of Israel.

By violating the territorial integrity of Israel in behalf of Islamic Palestinians, the US will never be able to preserve its own territorial integrity. The strengthening of the homosexual and Islamic minority in the Obama administration is evidence that the empire is collapsing.

In its long history, Israel saw the fall of several empires that wanted its territorial division. With Obama, now is the American turn to enter the list of the fallen empires.

Educational slavery for four-year-old children

Trojan horse in the Brazilian Congress alters Constitution to establish compulsory institutionalization of young children

By Julio Severo

Congressional measure PEC 96A/03, which increases the education budget, was approved 28 October 2009 in the Brazilian Senate. The vote had the participation of 52 senators, who unanimously approved the budget increase — an increase that will cause more sacrifices from the pocket of the Brazilian taxpayer.

Yet, it is not just in their pockets that Brazilians will be hit. PEC (which means Proposta de Emenda à Constituição [Constitutional Amendment Proposal]) makes, according to the liberal newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, “education compulsory for children and young people, ages 4 to 17. Today, this imposed obligation comprehends the age group 6 to 14. With this PEC, two years will be added to pre-school and secondary school.”

It was very easy to approve the age reduction for compulsory education, because nobody suspected that an insipid measure on budget contained a trap for Brazilian families. The budget PEC was the government Trojan horse to catch children, snatching them away earlier from parental sphere and directly hitting parental authority.

When enacted, this PEC will make the Brazilian Constitution “to kill two birds with one stone”, by forcing Brazilian citizens to deliver more of their tax money and forcing them to deliver their children earlier to the state control masked as “free education”.

This is the second victory of Lula in education. The first victory was when his administration lowered, without opposition, the compulsory education age to 6. What this imposed obligation will do is to give four-year-old children what six-year-old children are receiving from the State.

According to the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, “a study made by the Institute of Statistics and Educational Research (INEP), affiliated to the Brazilian Department of Education, found officially that one third of Brazilian children enrolled in the 4th grade of the basic education even do not know what they should have learnt in the end of the first year in school”.

According to the Brazilian Statistics and Geography Institute, Brazil has 2.1 millions of schoolchildren, ages 7 to 14, who are illiterate. This is, they are children attending school to learn — but they are not learning. At least, they are not learning what their parents would like them to learn: to read, write, etc.

The only kind of illiteracy the Brazilian State bans in schools is sexual and Marxist illiteracy. In these two points, Brazilian schoolchildren would achieve high scores in any national and international examination.

Besides the terrible basic education and of the predominant sexual socialization, there is the socialization of violence: a Brazilian study found 66% of schoolchildren of the basic and secondary education involved in violence.

The two main characteristics of an excellent education are quality and freedom. Apparently, families have the greatest interest that their children may receive an education with those characteristics.

However, control over people requires quality and freedom to be discarded and sacrificed on behalf of compulsory indoctrination. For a State possessed by socialism, it does not matter if schoolchildren are not learning to read and write satisfactorily. What matters is to turn away children from parental sphere, authority and values in order to indoctrinate them directly on the state interests.

This indoctrination is a proven reality throughout Brazil. In a long story on the Brazilian schools, Veja magazine (the Brazilian counterpart of Time magazine) made the following comments:

* A prevalent trend among Brazilian teachers of imposing leftism in the minds of children.

* Leftist indoctrination is predominant in private schools. It is something teachers take more seriously than classroom subjects, as CNT/Sensus poll, ordered by Veja, found.

* It is embarrassing that Marxism has stayed alive only in Cuba, North Korea and in the Brazilian classrooms.

* CNT/Sensus poll interviewed 3,000 people from 24 Brazilian states, among students and teachers in public and private schools. Its conclusion in this issue was astonishing. Parents (61%) are aware that teachers make political discourses in the classroom and they find it normal. Most teachers recognize that they really indoctrinate children and they think this is their main mission — something more important than teaching how to interpret a text or excel in math. For 78% of teachers, political discourse makes sense, considering that they ascribe to school, above all, the function of “forming citizens” — above of “teaching subjects”.

* Many Brazilian teachers are fascinated by characters that in the classroom deserve a more critical approach, as the Argentine guerilla Che Guevara, who in the poll appears with 86% of positive mentions, 14% neutral, and no negative comment.

This reality of Brazilian schools is in perfect harmony with the government policies, whose interest is not quality and freedom, but exclusively state control over children. This reality makes Brazil to look more like communist China, where four-year-old children are obliged to attend school just to receive state indoctrination. In fact, according to Folha de S. Paulo, Brazil and China just announced the “the creation of a quinquennial plan of targets, as the plans adopted by the Chinese communist government, to create a joint education model”.

If the target is to control four-year-old kids, no one better than China to help the Brazilian State.

Socialism does not tolerate a Constitution guaranteeing the rights of families to choose freely a quality education for their children. Socialist ideal requires that instead of guaranteeing the natural rights of parents, the Constitution may be altered to protect the state ideological whims. When fundamental changes are made, all things are possible for the State.

Therefore, it is no wonder the approval of PEC to impose the educational slavery of all children in Brazil age four on. And it is no wonder that the Department of Education of the Lula administration has just declared that homeschooling is unconstitutional. The way China likes — and not much different from Nazism.

In 1937, dictator Adolf Hitler, leader of the National Socialist Workers’ Party, said, “The Youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”

In 1938, Hitler took from German parents their right to decide freely the education of their children, officially banning homeschooling. Hitler explained why he wanted children forcibly in schools:

When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already. . . . What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”

Who will deliver little children of Brazil from this cruel destiny?
