After reading this quote, sent to me today by a friend, by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, in 1960 AD, I now consider being called intolerant, uncouth, and/or ungentlemanly by lukewarm Christians to be a compliment.
I may be intolerant, uncouth, and/or ungentlemanly but I sure enough am not spue. I am either hot or cold but lukewarm is not my description.
How many Christians or so-called Christians can, in all honesty, say, with all the conviction of their soul, that they are Christian revolutionaries in this the land that is now Socialist and filled with tax serfs while continuing on as the home of the Military Industrial Complex where there is Socialism for the rich being bailed out and is supported by Capitalism for the serf (aka workingman)?
How much spue sits in the pews at your church? Why do we tolerate it when Christ would spue them out?
I used to be ashamed to go to church because I felt that my revolutionary ideas may upset the lukewarm fence sitting members. NOT ANY MORE! I am not the one that should be embarrassed to be there. The “lukewarm do nothing while waiting for Christ and His angels to save them” SPUE, need to stand up and be counted or be the spue they have been promised to be by Jesus Christ Himself.
Our civilization and our people are seemingly afraid to be revolutionary. We are too ‘broadminded’ to challenge what we do not believe in. We are afraid of being thought intolerant, uncouth, ungentlemanly. We have become lukewarm in our beliefs. And for that we perhaps merit the bitter condemnation stated in Revelation 3:16: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
This is a sad commentary on a civilization which has given to mankind the greatest achievements and progress ever known. But it is an even sadder commentary on those of us who call ourselves Christians, who thus betray the ideals given to us by the Son of God himself.- Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, October 1960 AD
When will we Christians and any other God fearing men and women, once again, act like the religiously diverse Found Fathers and “forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them, if we basely entail hereditary bondage upon them.â€
Maybe I will see more of you revolutionaries at a church, mosque, or synagogue near you. I hope so. Let us take back the pews from the spues.
Christopher Hansen, Christian Revolutionary and proud of it!
Although I see some truth in what your saying, I dont see a plan of order. The generic suggestion of rebelling against the order we have shows a lack of thinking thru a solution, and possibly ignoring this scripture, “My house is a house of order”. Are these the same folks that would have us sacrifice balance of power by electing them to be dictators over us? Are these the same christians who would author bringing the bible back to our schools and say there cannot be a quran or a book of mormon there? I dont think I need another man to tell me which is the path to Christ, as if they can see and I or my children cannot.
Point #2 Taxation doesnt take the lions share of our income. Bring to light what does take the lion’s share and then I will be impressed with the author’s inspiration. Some truth mingled with philosophies of men are evident in this post.
David,
I need to reply to your gentle criticism of Christopher. He has indeed been very active in all aspects of his life in one primary mission besides being a good husband/father and serving God by living a Christian life and performing church service. That one mission of his is to fight the beast whose modern day gadianton robbers run the Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri Lateral Commission, and the Bilderbergers, and who control the Federal Reserve Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the U.N., as well as other groups, including the agenda and direction of both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Of course scriptures say that this kind of global control will exist in the last days. Both the Book of Daniel and Revelations talk about this especially Rev. chapter 13. The Mormons have a scripture in the Book of Mormon Ether 8 vs 25 that also warns of it.
The Mormon prophet Heber J. Grant told his people not to participate in Social Security back in their October 1936 general conference (it was called the Townsend Plan back then), so Christopher doesn’t have a social security number.
You mention “our schools” but having government/public schools is a plank of the Communist Manifesto, and Mormon prophet Brigham Young told his people not to send their children to such schools. The Mormons didn’t listen to him and they didn’t listen to Heber J. Grant. Rhetorical question: Now what happened when God didn’t want ancient Israel to have a king and they didn’t listen to him, but demanded a king anyway?
Christopher has been trying to warn people pretty much his entire life, and his internet postings are very extensive. He also compiled an excellent book called Testament of Sovereignty. Plus he is a great political leader. For 4 years he chaired the best political party – the Independent American Party. He has run for office: Governor, Secretary of State, and State Legislature, to name a few races.
So you see, there is a plan and there is order. This blog post was just a small fraction of it.
Lastly, you said that taxation doesn’t take the lions share of our income. Well I’m going to list just some of the taxes that most Americans pay:
Federal Income Tax, Social Security Tax, Medicare Tax, Sales Tax, Property Tax, Gas Tax, Motor Vehicle Registration Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Luxury Tax, Gift Tax, Utility Tax, Telephone Tax, the list is longer but you get the point. The fact is we are under a greater tax burden now than our Founding Fathers were under the King of Engalnd! This is evil. This is making government our god.
