THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST

George Offerman

And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed “Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done”.

Luke 22:41-42

In 1988, a movie with the above title came out that basically mocked Christianity and the whole aspect of the passion death and resurrection of Jesus by making a false assertion that the nature of Christ’s temptation was sexually motivated, and that Jesus somehow would not be fulfilled without experiencing this piece of humanity prior to his death.  In a sexually saturated society like our own, this could pass as some form of ‘nonfiction’ fiction and there would be some elements of society that would buy into this false assertion.  These people are coming from a secular humanistic point of view, and are clearly denying the divine view, that the point of Jesus manifestation as a man was to be the ultimate sacrifice to expiate sin once and for all.

What makes the whole Christ event so remarkable and awesome is the fact that the second person of the Trinity found it worth the effort to save fallen beings and freely give them the opportunity of paradise without strings attached, or the need to follow the ‘law’ in order to ‘earn’ salvation.   With this event, Jesus must have been fully aware of how unjust this was, and would have had to have a level of humility that virtually none of us mortals could even begin to comprehend.  It is beyond modern man’s ability to consider how anyone would knowingly put themselves into such a position, especially when this person has the powers to change all things.

“Then Jesus said to him, ‘put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.  Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?

Matt 26:52-54

We as a race are obsessed with power, and continually imagine having super powers in which we see ourselves being the good guy and destroying the bad guys.  Just look at the proliferation of movies such as superman, batman, transformers, and fantastic four and so on.  If any human had the ability to change history by using super human powers, I’m willing to believe that none could resist this temptation.  It is innate for us to be repelled by evil, and we would do anything in our power to change the course of evil if we had the ability to do so.  So, most likely the greatest temptation we as humans could have is to be given the power to change the course of history and then see if we would use it and how we would use it.

Jesus was the only person ever to have lived that actually had this ability.  Yet He used His free will to follow the will of His Father, and chose to let Himself experience a most painful and humiliating death.  It is nearly impossible to grasp this concept, yet explain it in any human language or form that is understandable.  It can only be seen as the ultimate act of love, and only a being with the ability to have perfect focus on a goal could have accomplished such a feat.  The human part of Jesus was fearful of His impending death, and this gives me comfort in the fact that death is not a pleasant experience as evidenced by Jesus.  But unlike Jesus, I believe personally that if I had the power to stop my own death, I most likely would use it.

So, if there really was the last temptation of Christ (which I doubt) it very well may have been to use His divinity to change the course of human events.  However, we would still be under the curse of sin, and there would be no hope in heaven or resurrection for us.  Jesus modeled for us perfect obedience to the will of God, and perfect love, in that He allowed Himself to be brutally murdered to give us the opportunity to spend eternity with Him.  Wow.

I have been given lots of feedback from various sources over the past few months concerning the topics I write about.  Many are disturbed by the fact I cover what would appear to be ‘non pro-life’ issues while still claiming to be a pro-life site.  While on the surface, this may look to be true, but in all reality, it is those who want to ‘compartmentalize’ that are short changing themselves and not seeing the whole picture.  Whether one likes it or not, or wants to admit it or not, life is much interconnected, and nothing exists in a vacuum, including our faith and actions (or inactions) that back up this faith.

It is true that we must do all we can for our unborn brethren, but we need to understand first and foremost that legalized child killing and all the surrounding structures supporting it is a spiritual battle.  So in order to ‘exercise this demon’ one must successfully get to the root cause of the evil.  Simply focusing on legalized child killing in a vacuum will not lead to the necessary changes in the law to stop this, but looking at the big picture and understanding what causes legalized child killing to exist in the first place is what is needed.  And the cause of legalized child killing is money.

We can see clearly that our society is obsessed with money and how to get more of it.  We can tell ourselves all we want that being pro-life is to “educate and change hearts’ but we already know 47% of the population is ‘bought off’ by those controlling the goodie bag.  We know that others work certain jobs (like the government) in order to collect paychecks and benefits while doing the minimal amount of work to get this.  We know that those who are in charge of the educational system (and some churches even) preach the gospel of scarcity, and fill our heads with the sick notion that our world is overpopulated, and resources are scarce.  We don’t have enough to take care of those already here, so how can we possibly take care of those not born yet?   With this thought process quite entrenched in our system, there is no chance in hell of ending legalized child killing by simply seeing this as some aberrant law without a root cause.

This spiritual battle manifests itself by controlling the issuance of money, and those that control the money, also control the whole system.  The system is infected with the idea that the global population is too large, and that overlords are needed to oversee the proper utilization of resources in order to stop the ‘stupid masses’ from overconsumption and extinction.  Deliberate debauchery of the currency by the money powers only reinforces this perception, and the average person blindly believes and parrots back to others this evil creed.  Scarcity everywhere and not enough money to pay for it.  Eliminate those who are unnecessary!  Everyone run scared and know your future will be worse than the present due to SCARCITY OF RESOURCES!!!

These people have done a splendid job of convincing the uneducated masses that man and not God has the solutions to our problems.  And man’s solutions always involve resources and production flow towards the very few.  If one takes time to notice, the stream of things going on mysteriously flow consistently in one direction: taking away rights and wealth from the masses and concentrating them into a few privileged hands.   As more is taken away, it follows that there is less to have for the rest, and it makes no sense to continue adding to the numbers of people if there is less and less to go around.  Legalized child killing will never be outlawed as long as we do not address this root cause, and all the wishful thinking in the world will not change that fact.

So, the next time you hear of another nation crashing financially, or hear about ‘peak oil’ or the ‘climate change’ taking place, or food shortages, or how much it costs to keep seniors alive the last few weeks of their lives, or how we will never be able to pay off our debts, just remember that all of these ‘crises’ are man-made and controlled by the elite.  And as long as we the people buy into this BS, there is not a chance that these people will allow the population to grow larger.  This godless and sociopathic run system is geared for destruction of the masses.  This not only includes the unborn, but unfortunately most of the born.

IT WILL HAPPEN TO US TOO

The recent developments in Cyprus cannot be overlooked, minimized or ignored.   It is the first time in modern history that a bank, through the protection of the government, literally stole the people’s own money out of segregated accounts to bail out the criminal banksters in order to secure a ‘guaranteed’ loan from the EU.  And to enforce this wide open thievery, the government imposed a 100 euro per day limit on ATM withdrawals to stop any potential bank run.  This blatant move and open thievery by the government is a very open statement concerning what the government really thinks of the people’s assets: they are ours for the taking at our bidding.

Now, many here in the U.S. have openly scoffed at the idea of our government doing the same thing.  They believe that we, in the land of the free, would never have such an action taken against us, and that somehow, the economy will get back on track, and life as we have become accustomed to will continue to plod on without any pain or suffering, and without the problems of some’ third world backwards country”.  Little do most Americans know, but we have the ‘grand daddy’ of debt here and put the whole Euro zone to shame concerning the sheer amount of dollars owed.   It is not our turn simply because the dollar is the reserve currency of the world.

Most people have no understanding of what money is, yet even fathom where it comes from.  In the current system, the Federal Reserve creates dollars out of nothing, and lends them to our government for interest payments.  Since these dollars have no backing of gold or silver, an unlimited amount can be ‘manufactured’ and lent out, until the interest becomes so overwhelming, that the scheme comes crashing down, as the people no longer have the ability to pay their debts.   But before it gets to this critical point, the powers that be will do to us what just happened in Cyprus; they will try to convince us that if the banks fail, the economy will hopelessly implode and all will be lost.

If people truly understood the nature of money and what it really is, the crashing of the fiat paper system would be the most beneficial event that could occur.  I am not saying at all that it will be easy and not involve a lot of short term pain, but it will free those who want to produce and allow them a fair opportunity to better their lives and to pass on the fruit of their labors.  We have watched the dollar lose nearly 99% of its value since the creation of the Federal Reserve 100 years ago, and we can also see through the geometric progression of the debt, that we will never pay off the obligations we have made.  The current crop of politicians don’t have the guts to make the cuts necessary, and have grown accustomed to taking from the producers and giving to the consumers.  The last vestage of money left for these crooks to steal is in retirement accounts, bonds, and yes, bank accounts.

If one takes the time to study and understand the banking system, they will quickly come to the conclusion that banks are the most inefficient and most usurious ‘industry’ that exists.  Banks do two things only: 1) make loans and collect interest, and 2) store money safely for the people.  When banks make loans, they need collateral, or deposits on hand.  If there is a run on the banks, and too many deposits are withdrawn, loans cannot be made, or existing loans may have to be called in.  When this happens, a crash occurs.  Banks will do anything in their power to avoid this situation, including getting the heavy hand of government to enforce their access to money, even if it means directly stealing the deposits of those they are supposed to be protecting. 

Given that banks have participated in bad loans, as well as playing derivative games, they have in essence passed on their bad debts to the consumers through bailouts at taxpayer expense, as well as now openly stealing assets they are entrusted with, all with the blessing and backing of the government.  The two reasons for the existence of banks are now invalidated, and as such, should no longer be allowed to exist.  Yet the banksters, through the government and lackey MSM, has nearly everyone convinced that the ‘too big to fail” banks will end life as we know it if allowed to fail.  So those charged with watching out for the little guy are in collusion with the thieves and those responsible for our current economic conditions, and the stage is being set for these sociopathic criminals to walk scot free, and blame this mess on whatever flavor of the month opportunity comes their way.

We don’t need the modern banking system as it is today.  It has lived beyond its usefulness, and for those paying attention, it is time to get your ASSETS out of them.  Don’t allow yourself to be victimized by a group that salivates at the thought of getting your hard earned money through lies and deceptions.  Fight back and get out of the system as much as you possibly can, and that at least will give you a better position to survive once these people finally play the hand they are waiting to do.   

YOU CAN'T TRUST THESE GUYS

It seems that every time I leave the country for a spell, some very important matters occur that has the potential to be ‘game changers’.  But before getting to this ‘game changer’ I have to comment briefly on another successful beer trip to Belgium.  Spent a week on a tour sponsored by Ale Street news, and this writer at least drank in moderation while spending most of the time with the brewers asking detailed questions pertaining to the differing brew processes they used.  We were also fortunate enough to have acquired a significant number of Westvleteran 12 that are nearly impossible to get, and this particular brew has been voted number one in the world for several years running. 

So upon returning to the states, it was rather intriguing that the story of the government’s purchase of 1.6 billion hollow pointed rounds finally garnered some traction in the news.  It is incredible that it takes members of congress to get the proper attention on this issue, but it is even more incredible that it took so long for any of the law makers to even question what the DHS is doing with their funding, which Congress happens to control.  Maybe the real deal concerning the attention finally being paid to this issue is that enough patriots complained to their ‘representatives’ that required this issue to finally come out of the sinister shadows of this very secretive and dangerous government.

It is also amazing that despite the efforts and letters of 15 congressmen to DHS demanding explanations, one is not forthcoming, and the pitiful explanations by low level staffers is laughable and way off the mark.  After all, aren’t these agencies by law accountable to Congress to begin with?  Yet they seem to be acting in the same rogue fashion as the top dog Obama and believe they can do whatever they want whenever they please.  No accountability with any intention of being accountable to anyone.  If the average citizen behaved in this fashion, they most likely would be on the receiving end of one of these hollow pointed rounds.

One of the explanations proffered by a low level bureaucrat is the numerous RFP’s do not actually purchase 1.6 billion rounds, but simply refer to the ‘top end’ of purchases that add up to this number.  However, this does not explain why DHS has any need of round one of hollow pointed rounds, given the use of these rounds in war are illegal by the Geneva Convention.  This is a pathetic attempt at covering up what the government is really up to, and it is amazing that they believe they can get away with outright lies or by simply being silent on this matter.

The arrogance of this rogue government should be a massive clue as to what they are really up to.  We supposedly live in a constitutional republic, in which the government is accountable to us and those elected are supposed to represent our interests.   It is becoming quite clear that this government is set upon doing whatever they believe they need to do to survive and keep their power.  This includes making war on the people.  Why else would the social security administration find it ‘necessary’ to order nearly 200,000 hollow pointed rounds?  To shoot recipients making too much?  To go after those who are committing fraud?  When has ANYONE been shot by the SSA for any ‘crimes’?

People, it’s time to wake up and see what is going on around you.  This is not the time to be asleep and believe things will go on as they had over the past several decades.  We live in dangerous time in which the government resembles more of a tyrannical monster than what was intended by our founding fathers.  This government is doing things that ought to be scaring the hell out of anyone who is paying the minimal amount of attention, yet most continue on in their sleepwalking state.  How sad, and the time is running out to do anything about it.
