Easter and Christ

On: By: crier

Easter is the day of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Resurrection is the return of our spirit to our body after death. The body is made perfect (not a zombie or skeleton: – ). Christ was the first one resurrected.

Christ literally walked away from death, and then started resurrecting people who had died before Him. Have you met anyone that has been resurrected? Probably not, but how would you know?

Christ has said that all the remaining dead who were righteous in life will be resurrected soon. Also, everyone else a thousand years later after paying the price for their bad behavior.

What about people that were bad for part (or all) of their life because of their upbringing, or other challenges? What if they changed their ways? Will they be part of the group resurrected soon? Or, will they have to suffer for a thousand years first?

That brings up the second part of Christ’s gift to us. He took on the suffering of everyone that ever lived and ever will live. He suffered all of that. Every injury. Every bad day. Every pain and sickness. He took on all of that so when it is time to decide if anyone will have to suffer for mistakes that they would not do again if they had a choice, He can mercifully let it slide. He can also take away all that pain, because He’s already suffered it. He has that right.

So what about Easter and Christ? Easter is the day that Christ gave us back every dead relative, our own lives, and paid for our suffering so it can stop, forever.

Willful Ignorance

On: By: crier

Most people are willfully ignorant. Meaning, people have more access to knowledge than any other generation in the world, but don’t have a clue about the world they live in or common sense knowledge.

For proof, I say look no farther than the US Military’s confession that UAPs are real.

Those are UFOs to us non-military types.

This has been common knowledge to anyone that actually follows news and current events, but I feel confident that if you asked 100 people randomly ANYWHERE in the USA, “Did you know the US Military publicly acknowledged UFOs are real and they track them daily?” you would get a bunch of shocked people who’d think you were nuts.

There is my proof that most people are willfully ignorant. How could you not know something like that?

Most people wouldn’t know truth if it bit them, not because it is so hard to comprehend, but because they don’t care. Besides cat videos are more entertaining.

Buy Local; Source Local

On: By: crier

The solution to mega-corporate intrusions and censorship is to buy locally and source locally. Buying and sourcing locally is going cost more, but results in local control of resources and products. It cuts mega-corporations out of the loop and give local residents control of their lives again.

Biden Presidency

On: By: crier

A couple of days ago, Republican protesters stormed the capitol building in Washington DC. For 12 hours Twitter and Facebook (the two largest social media companies) blocked all tweets and posts from President Trump. All his posts and tweets asking protesters to stop what they were doing and leave the capitol building peacefully were blocked. Now the same people behind blocking his posts and tweets blame him for the protests and demand he be impeached a few days before Biden is seated as president. Literally the same group censoring and silencing Republicans, and causing the protests are the same ones claiming the protests mean Trump should be punished.

I have never seen the Democrats, Liberals and secret combinations acting this boldly to thwart democracy. The suppression of freedom of speech and obvious voter fraud is so blatant that I feel my country has already fallen. Biden himself declared on a national broadcast a few months ago that he had secured the largest and most diverse voter fraud organization in the history of the country.

The behavior of the most evil, anti-Christs in our country reminds me of the scripture, …“the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

-Revelations 12:12

Yesterday, I went through my Twitter account and removed all political tweets related to this election. We lost. No sense making a target out of myself by sharing the truth about how we lost with people that need to learn the 10 commandments before they can understand why our country is about to disintegrate. I’m sure that when the country is finally destroyed by our enemies, the Liberals will declare it to have been because of “global climate change”.

My expectations for the next four to eight years … The Liberals will shut down the Christian Temples and Churches demanding gay marriage happen in them. China, knowing they have a paid crook in the White House, will invade Taiwan. Child molestation will be normalized as just another sexual orientation. Christians will be vilified and persecuted as much as they were in their early days in Rome.

God will strike down our country, or at least the more evil parts of it. Be prepared for hard times ahead. Look to Cuba and Venezuela for examples of what we are going to go through. God’s punishments will be much worse.

Love Changes People

On: By: crier

Everyone has a world view built on axioms that they accept without question. Incorrect world views and beliefs come from beginning with the wrong axioms. Correcting someone’s world view often requires changing their founding axioms. But their axioms cannot change from logical argument, because they did not come from logic, but from feelings.

If you want to change an enemy into a friend, you must change their axioms. Logic did not create their axioms. Feelings created and cemented their axioms.

Feelings are the only way to repair and replace an enemy’s axioms. The strongest and most noble feeling for fixing axioms is love.

Love your enemies. Show love through forgiveness, words, and deeds. You may make a few of them into friends with similar beliefs as you.

If you have ever seen The Other Side of Heaven, you are familiar with John H. Groberg. He is the main character in that movie. This is a beautiful talk he gave in 1984 to the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The original talk with video can be found here.

The Power of Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

by John H. Groberg

 

How I pray for the Spirit of the Lord to continue to be with all of us, as it has been thus far.

The injunction from God to “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Ex. 20:8) has been in force throughout human history. There is power in keeping the Sabbath day holy. I testify that God lives, that we are his children, that he loves us, and that he gives us commandments so he can bless us as we keep them and thereby have joy. As we keep the Sabbath day holy he will bless us, and we will achieve a quiet power for good as individuals, as families, and as nations, that we cannot obtain in any other way.

Let me give two examples: Continue reading “I have been through Cache Valley on a Sunday” →

Don’t Side with Evil

On: By: crier

I have never liked Trump. However, now that I’ve seen the bias, hate, and rage of the most evil celebrities and powerful people directed at him, I have to ask, “Why would the most vile in our society hate anyone so much?”

The only answer I’ve been able to come up with is

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

–Revelations 12:12

The only people that the children of satan hate this much, are those that are serving God.

As I wrote above, I never liked Donald Trump. But, now I have to consider the possibility that he has changed and is doing God’s work. Why else would the most evil in our society have so much unconstrained wrath concerning him?
