This thought is somewhat lengthy, but it may save your lives or at least allow you to hang onto a good quality of
life.
I have several friends that have
a positive disposition. One, I’ll call ‘Dorothy’ always without exception sees
the good in everything and seems blind to any misuse. Dorothy is known
for her congenial nature. I admire her as much as anyone else! Dorothy is
indeed a good person, and I doubt that she would ever even think of doing harm
to anyone. She is the epitome of loving thy neighbor, and even trusting
them. Unfortunately, some who are that good-natured, even Christians, are the
most gullible. Let’s call her religion, ‘Positive Christianity.’
Firstly, let us examine what is
the meaning of ‘good.’ We’ll check with Mr. Webster: Good is defined all
the way from “conforming to a standard” to “having beneficial intentions.” Mr.
Webster implies that good things may not conform, so it is the thought that
counts. Indeed, Christianity is based on willingness to conform whether the
standard is met or not. The Jews knew that it was impossible to conform to the
tight standards of God, but Christians understood, that although the standards
are set high, their willingness to conform is the measure of God.
Because of their misunderstanding
what is good, the Hebrew people often failed God. The leaders of the Jewish
race crucified their Savior because they thought they were doing good by
killing an imposter. If they had examined their own scripture, they would have
understood that what they were doing was not good.
So, what does God say about good?
Jesus said, “There is none good but one, that is, God” (Mat 19:17). Hence,
goodness is defined by the goodwill of God. Whatever it is that God wills is
good. So, what does God will?
‘Agathos’ — beneficial
things (Strong 2006). That raises the
question, To whose benefit? John 3:16 supplies the answer to that, “That
whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John
3:16). Destructive things can cause anyone to perish. God’s Will is that His
creatures never die! The metric, therefore, is that good things should never be
destructive, or if they are, they contain both good and evil (more on that
shortly).
Is medicine good? It has good
intentions, meeting one of Webster’s criteria. For hundreds or thousands of
years, doctors with good intentions bled their patients with bloodletting. It
was good for the leeches but not so good for the patients; many of whom would
perish because of the loss of blood.
What is the lack of goodness?
Anything that is not beneficial, and that has the propensity to destroy. All
medicines, for instance, have side effects. Ms. Dorothy would be the type that
ignored side effects. My bet is that she takes anything that the doctor prescribes
because the doctor has good intentions for her. However, even the best things
have unwanted side effects. The only known ingredient that has no disastrous
side effects is God for only God is good.
As a youth, I did not get many
sweets because we were a poor family. Candy, cakes, and ice cream were extremely
good because they were tasty. As a grownup, my diet consists mostly of things
that I perceive with my sense of taste to be good. I have been deceived… sweets
are not good in a beneficial sense, and the evidence of that is my blood
sugar level and weight. If someone had told me that as a child, I would have
limited my sugar intake, but all that I was interested in was goodness as I
perceived it. My bet is that Ms. Dorothy likes sweet things as well because she
is that type.
Mr. Webster defines evil as ‘anything
that causes harm.’ Good and evil are not opposing concepts. Goodness is beneficial
all the time, so that explains why only God is good. What we consider good
things with our limited knowledge contains evil because things all have the
propensity to cause harm if overused or misused.
Often, the Judeo-Christian
concept of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is overlooked. It was not
because the tree was all evil; it was because the tree could be beneficial
or harmful. It required great consideration before eating.
The test was what God would say. Paul
wrote His inspired words, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good; abstain
from all appearance of evil” (1 Thes 20:21-22). If that is rewritten, then we
are to test everything and if there is any semblance or even the appearance of
evil, we are to abstain.
Adam’s woman failed that test. Eve
did not ask the right questions; perhaps what is death? since death had not
ever occurred before, and just when will the deleterious side effects ensue? To
her, the fruit looked good, but inherently they would harm her.
In the First Book of Adam and
Eve, God provided for them a fig the size of a watermelon, surely to make a
point — that too much of any good thing is harmful; so, Adam and Eve chose not
to eat of the huge fig because they had learned their lesson.
“The weight of each fig was that
of a watermelon; for the fruit of the garden was much larger than the fruit of
this land, but Adam and Eve remained standing and fasting the whole of that
night, until the morning dawned” (XLI: 2-3). To them, they had new knowledge and
recognized what is good in their eyes could cause their death. They tested the
fig and abstained, just as Paul wrote.
The point is that since only God
is good, everything else must be tested; either to overcome your ignorance or for
protection against those who would deceive you, just as the Beast was cunning
and deceptive; the creature used the good fruit for evil purposes! Everything
has a purpose, and naïve people must be protected from wrong purposes. Hence,
the warnings on medicine instructions.
If only God is good, then
we can trust in God; for anybody else, it is wise to closely examine their
intentions or the thoroughness of their knowledge.
In secular terms, that is ethics…
who has principles and who does not.
For instance, Americans believe
that the quality of our medicines are good because the FDA attests to that.
What if the FDA ignores unwanted side effects or perhaps fail to mention them;
would you trust the Federal Drug Administration? What if the Administration had
reasons to deceive the users? It is the government in whom we trust.
The developers and manufacturers
have reasons to deceive; their economic livelihood depends on you trusting them,
the FDA, and the government. Their desire is that in them you trust beyond
even yourselves. In their own eyes, they
are reliable and trustworthy, and the user should just take whatever they think
is right for you. Their goodness is for profits for themselves and for
even some, a great economy without regard to how many lives are lost.
Evil is not the total lack
of goodness, but goodness with residual side effects. That is why the name of
the tree. Even Satan is not totally evil; he uses what is good for evil as he
demonstrated to Adam and Eve.
Don’t let this upset you, but
after eating forbidden fruit, Satan made for the Garden a new kind of being —
one that Adam named ‘Eve.’ She died immediately in the sense is that she was no
longer glorious but depraved like Satan.
Since Eve was the mother of all
living, our depravity is inherited from Eve. The point is that mankind died because
of her new genetics, coming short of the glory of God and no longer good like
God.
They were not totally depraved
but degenerated. Everyone has some good in them, and people like Ms.
Dorothy are blind to evil and see only good. Like Adam and Eve who lost their
bright nature and bright eyes, those who think of only good things are seldom
sober and vigilant in their thinking. The pandemic proved that when the majority
in the Americas trusted Dr. Fauci and Big Pharma, as well as government bureaucrats
and their foolish leader.
Vaccines are indeed good, but
they can be used for nefarious purposes. As it turned out, what was the result
of the good vaccines that were mandated? If nothing else, the nation, even the
world, became divided. (I had people despise me because I did not follow the
mandates of their leader.)
So, who considers the goodness of
things? Judeo-Christians were once the authority on goodness in the West
because the Bible was the ‘dictionary’ of good. Then ‘isms’ of all sorts distorted
goodness, and God as well.
Marx considered legalized theft
as ‘good’ for the most when he wrote, “From each according to his ability, to
each according to his needs." How to enforce that? Dictators! Why” People
want to keep what is theirs, but Marx redefined goodness as taking by deception,
or force, what belongs to one and give to others.
That seems good; does it not? It
is even much like the Christian ‘Golden Rule.’
Marx meant well, but what happened?
Millions in the Ukraine suffered by starving to death because they thought that
not so good. The USSR were Marxists who would starve millions of their
citizens for the good of communism and Stalin. They distorted the concept of
good; it was not God and charity that was good, but taxation and slavery to the
government that was good in their eyes. Still, after millions of lives lost due
to Marx, much of the world remains Marxist to this day and think communism is a
good thing, even communal.
Next consider Nazism. It is
National Socialism and how Marx changed traditional Germans into maniacs that
would kill millions for the good of Hitler and the Germanic idea. In the
beginning it was okay to abort the unwanted and infirmed, and that was ‘good.’ The
next to be ‘rewarded’ were the insane and elderly for that was good for the
masses. Then the Jews were excised from the masses, and they became superlative;
no longer was their capabilities required and death camps became good to so
many of the Germans!
Nazism even made the German church
‘good,’ at least in their version of good. They created “Positive
Christianity,” and circumcised all the Jews from the Bible and anything Jewish.
They even ‘circumcised’ Jesus by making Him Gentile. For the Nazis, that was good.
The Nazis invented super-soldiers
for their good; they would kill the enemy with impunity and even with enthusiasm.
Their blitz against civilized countries were by half-crazy ‘zombies’ made fearless
by crystal-meth. That was good… for the Germans. But soon, what was good, based
on government values, became destructive and evil. Those ‘super-soldiers’ soon
turned into dead men; they were alive but barely so. Crystal-meth was not so
good after all; the Nazis had deceived them. It was released without testing
the long-term side effects. That ‘good’ drug still kills millions today and
those who use it still think it is good.
Nazism escaped to America. It
still lingers here, even among churchmen. Abortion exists because people think
it is good!
Like Webster’s other definition,
it is not beneficial to the ‘thing’ but to those who think that it is. It is
their perception that matters. Just to whom is abortion beneficial? Perhaps not
so much for the baby but for the mother. Because abortion can save the lives of
mothers, although in this age, that is a rare situation, most often it is for
the good of the parents. Worse yet, the extremist Democrats see the horror of
abortion as an acceptable sacrifice for the good of democracy.
The New Age, presented to the
world as the World Economic Forum (WEF), now considers genetic engineering as
good. Yuval Noah Harari of that organization sees the deterioration of the
human race to be replaced by genetic engineered non-human beings, and that is ‘good.’
The “superlative humans,” his words, will be engineered by biogenetics out of
existence, and that is for the good of the world. Humans are the enemies in the
eyes of rabid environmentalists and the Nazis of the world.
People hardly flinched when they
were jabbed time after time for the good of the masses, not withstanding that
many who were deceived by taking an untested drug. That vaccine was not even a ‘vaccine,’
but it did have the capacity to command their genetics to do things they could
not naturally do. But that was for our good, we were told, not
withstanding that was good for the manufacturers and for Democrats to exercise
their narratives for their electoral good.
Last night, we discussed the
future of genetics. Ostensibly, even Bill Gates in Forbes Magazine
revealed that gene-editing technology was for our good, that life can possibly
be increased by upwards of twenty years. For Bill Gates and his investors that
was good. For manufacturers, that is good. Nobody accuses them of not wanting good
things, but by doing what is perceived as good, cracks the door for abuse to enter
the world.
The first things that I read
after learning of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology was that China was using
CRISPR for making a new brand of humans — Chinese supers-soldiers. That would be
their animated Terra-cotta army that was excavated from centuries past; it is
in effect bringing Qin Shi Huang’s ancient soldiers back to life. That would be
good for the Chinese, but not so good for the rest of the world.
Bill Gates, as well as many
ill-informed Americans, think that gene-editing tools are just wonderful, but never
consider that they have the capacity of ending mankind.
Those who hold the title to such
inhumane, but ‘good’ genetic tools, have the capacity of becoming the ‘gods’
for it is them that people will turn for extended life, as if they are God.
In the New World, without God,
who decides what is good.
King Hezekiah was not ready to
die, so God gave him fifteen more years to live. Hezekiah wanted to live longer:
In those days was Hezekiah sick
unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto
him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not
live.’” (2 Kings 20:1)
God said, “I will add unto your
days fifteen years” 2 Kings 2:6). Hezekiah’s sons ended up eunuchs. The genetics
of the House of Hezekiah, who had been good, resulted in evil. Messing with
genetics is not good, as Hezekiah’s request proved.
Likewise, the end of the world
ended as many more good things were invented by Genun (The Books of Adam and
Eve) when God flooded the world because of all the so-called “good things”
that Genun had made, and among them were apparently the further mutation of
human genes (Gen 6:4).
The world is not good! Anything that
is produced by the world, or its citizens, have the propensity for great evil.
We are to examine all things and hang onto what is truly good; if it contains
any evil at all, it must be discarded for inhumane people will find a very evil
use for it.
World War II resulted in the loss
of millions of lives. For the good of the world, scientists at the request of
our government, invented nuclear bombs. The ‘good’ that they did was destroy
millions of lives in Japan for the benefit of the world. Was that good? It was
for us! Was it good for the Japanese? Not quite so good.
Good did come from it as Japan
gave up their man-god and became civilized, but at what expense? To this day,
the Doomsday Clock measures the time that nuclear energy destroys the entire
world. Would it not have been better if nuclear energy had not been released?
Our government thought it was
good, but now much of the world lives in fear that what is good may destroy us
all. Nuclear bombs were an inhumane way of doing good things for those who
think of themselves as soldiers of goodness.
The Nazi leader, Heinrich Himmler
sought the most humane way of killing the Jews:
First, victims should remain
totally unaware that they are about to die. Second, perpetrators need not
touch, see, or hear their victims as they die. Third, the death blow should
avoid leaving any visual indications of harm on the victims’ bodies. And finally,
the death blow should be instantaneous. (Russell 2018)
Abortion meets some of Himmler’s criteria,
does it not with the silent scream of the unborn infant, knowing not what is
coming or who did it? Neither can we hear the victims as they die because their
fear is silent. However, it lacks one facet; there is much evidence left that
indicates the harm done.
Himmler failed on that account
with the Jews as well when the evidence was revealed after the war when it was
too late for the victims.
The one way for humane killing is
by the editing of genetics. Eve died because her genetics were changed. The
concept of ‘original sin’ is that it is genetic. Satan essentially killed all
of mankind, us all after sin, who now come short of the glory of God.
A friend mentioned the good
that can come from genetic editing, and that is true. However, Yuval Noah Harari
mentioned that the elimination of humans is paramount; that so many of us serve
no purpose. To whom? Them — those who despise human lives, excepting
their own.
Remembering that we must hang onto
what is good, that requires that we consider what is bad and discard that part.
Since there is no finite distinction about where good ends and evil commences,
wise people will discard what they see as ‘good’ to avoid the ‘evil.’
Those who bought into the lie of
the vaccine proves how gullible they are. Those who thought intense masking
allowed themselves to breath sufficiently, bought into the lie. Our Democrat
government has said the truth, “We depended on the stupidity of the American
voter” (Jonathan Gruber).
Now be sober and vigilant because
evil is out to get you and the easiest way to kill is by deception!
