compassion conquers oppression

socialistsoundz — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 04:14:46 +0000

How does oppression exist? It exist because of selfishness which is the primary cause of greed, the doctrine of gain and the idea of capitalism.

Capitalism is the economic ideology of western culture, beginning with the concept of individual freedom and the right to protect it, therefore to protect individual freedom is to protect what that freedom offers, capitalism.
The personal gain and well being which for the most part appears to be ideal for all, is however the reason for certain inevitable fears that concordantly leads to selfishness, greed, envy, jealousy, anger and even murder!

Understand that our selfishness, greed and envy come not at birth but through being raised in them and/or by them, but who are true the parents that’s raising us? It is this culture, this present day system of things, the mother of modern western civilization and economic influence of the world!

Unless we take the time to learn and understand who the enemy is, and how the enemy operates and prevails we will never come to a solution!

How can we say love and respect your fellow man when the culture of the society we live in promotes greed, and violence? If you look at the cause of wars all the way down to civil and domestic disputes, the root is always somehow entangled in ones personal gain, and because individual gain is so promoted in our way of life, to protect our own self interest we become subject to not only defend but also to oppress all in the name of personal freedom.
Thus the idea of “love thy neighbor” in this respect is a myth!

So now we can see who the enemy is, its not necessarily a person or some entity, which for the most makes it easier to point the finger to when it comes to being irresponsible for our own actions, but rather our present conditioning of things.
It is our present conditioning that causes us to favor the rich and those who blood suck the poor out of their hard labors and efforts to obtain a life and culture built on exploitation!

So the only way we can defeat the oppression of the capitalist culture we live in is to valiantly fight for the cause of the poor laborer and righteously stand for the socialization of honest people who abhors oppression through compassion!

Peace!

Capitalism will only fall once the root is cut!!!

The Nazarene Messianic Party

12 Point Agenda

1. We believe the principle of the Biblical laws should be revisited and

applied. The laws contained in the ancient writings (The Bible) should be taken
from the shackles of the “local church” & modern theology and applied to all the
governing bodies of the earth.

2. We believe that capitalism should be & will be abolished. Capitalism

has ushered in ages of exploitation and oppression. Suffering and death, It has
used technology to destroy the earth and the earth inhabitants, the air and water.
Capitalism and it’s ‘mark’ must be destroyed. Rev.13 & Rev.18.

3. We want righteous education for the people, an educational system with

truth & right as its foundation. We want an education that exposes the decadent
nature of the American society and all the governing bodies who chooses to
follow its lead and or the oppressive government pattern. We believe therefore
that we should be free to educate our own children with Biblical& socialist/
communist principles (non-violent). We must be educated also in how to provide

and manufacture our necessities (what we need to live). We must be educated in
holistic natural medicines for treatment and prevention of health problems. And
we want freedom to establish a midwifery association to deliver our own children
without dangerous drugs.

4. We believe that the Government/kingdom of righteousness will be

established in the earth, we believe that each generation must do their part in
building this kingdom which will usher in the ‘New Age’.

5. We believe that they who want to do righteousness within the socialist/

communist gospel of Christ (Which is built on Love thy Neighbor as Messiah
loved us) must have ‘land’ to live and build on. We must build a community
which eliminates racial discrimination and social classes, and the injustice
that accompanies the classes struggle. We must also eliminate poverty and
exploitation.

6. We believe that “SALVATION”, “EQUITY” & justice in judgment will be

found in the righteous community that will be formed.

7. We believe that a righteous community will be a dwelling for all who want

to do right and have the affection to do right by each other, by loving thy neighbor
as thyself.

8. We want decent housing fit for human beings, we believe that food

shelter (housing) & clothing should be available to all the human family not

just a wealthy few. We believe that we are our brother’s keeper. When we have
a community of racial peace and equity with no one in the human family lacking
then we will have a demonstration of God’s Kingdom on earth.( Acts 2:44-45 ;
Acts 4:32- 37.)

9. We believe, we, who desire Justice & equity must not partake in the

system of ‘capitalism’, nor should we labor to keep imperialist / capitalist systems
of the world running & operating. We must separate and come out of this form of
social system in order to find true peace & justice for the human family.

10. We believe that the socialism/communism of Jesus Christ must be taught ,

preached, & published in all the world, in prisons, health clinics community
seminars etc. So mankind can have the choice of another alternative to the social
system of capitalism/landlordism.

11. We believe we should not partake in the educational institutions, grammar

school’s, middle schools, colleges etc, which miss-educate the masses,
promote capitalism and individualism. The education of the capitalist nations has
caused a destructive mentality to come upon the people, and it has given birth
to a social system which exploits and brings misery to the poor of the world. We

should not fight nor encourage our children to fight in the armed forces/military of
these oppressive nations. The aggression of these super power nations against
the poor of the world is a great “EVIL” and the imperial oppressors have used
the poor to war against each other, while the rich few rob the lands of its natural
resources, thereby gaining strength to continue to oppress the poor who have
fought for them.

12.

We want to end the robbery by the capitalist of our poor communities,
we must labor to take control of our own production by way of farming &industry
we must have access to the natural resources (farming, farm land timber
and animals etc). We need to survive, freely. Thereby making progress in
establishing the kingdom of God on this earth. (Isaiah 11.——-

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST (food control)

The freedom we were once given was and is presently a myth.

One mythical freedom that has been dangling over the heads of American citizens has been the idea of growing and planting your own food. Though it has been the center of the food industry in this country it also has been a simple way of life and pleasure for many of us who depend and enjoy the simple art of planting and growing!

Now the freedom of planting and growing (particularly growing food) is being compromised.
Due to the most recent popularity of *organics* and *all natural*, government is now pushing more laws regulating not only food production but also food growth!

Here’s an article from http://www.ftcldf.org showing a recent senate bill pushing for regulation of food growing.

S510 Revised:
FDA Coming to a Farm Near You
By Pete Kennedy, Esq. | September 23, 2010
More than ever S510 represents a major threat to the local food movement, states’ autonomy to regulate food, and the country’s ability to become self-sufficient in food production.
On August 12 the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee released the manager’s package for S510”, a revised version of the “FDA Food Safety Modernization Act that is 77 pages longer than the version of S510 that passed out of the HELP Committee last November.
Whereas the House food safety bill, HR 2749, passed out of the full House a month and a half after being voted out of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, S510 had stalled for nearly ten months. Passage of the revised version into law will enable FDA potentially to regulate all farms marketing food products direct to consumers even if the farms engage only in intrastate commerce.

COURSES IN ORGANIC FARMING..HUH????

http://www.wsu.edu

Overview
The U.S. organic food industry has grown at an impressive rate of nearly 20 percent each year for more than a decade and industry experts are predicting the trend to continue or accelerate. The Organic Trade Association forecasts that overall, the everyday use of organic products of all kinds will be both accepted and routine by the year 2025.
The growing demand for organic products has created the need for employees who understand the unique production, processing, and marketing approaches used in organic agriculture.
WSU’s online certificate in organic agriculture, the first in the nation, develops a solid background in the agricultural sciences, including an understanding of complex agriculture and food systems. Students develop knowledge and skills that are applicable to all industries and agencies involved in the food chain – from production, processing, and delivery to policy, regulation, and education.
The online certificate is ideal for professionals working in agriculture or related fields who require in-depth knowledge of organic systems, those wanting to pursue a career in organic agriculture, anyone interested in beginning a community supported agriculture (CSA) farm, home gardeners, /as well as current WSU students in other majors at WSU with an interest in organic agriculture.
Courses are taught by the same world-renowned faculty who teach on Washington State University’s main campus in Pullman. Washington State University is a national leader in agricultural research and education and was the first university in the nation to offer a major in organic agriculture (available on the Pullman campus).
Courses for the certificate are accessible 24/7 from computers with high-speed Internet access. A professional internship at an approved farm, orchard, nursery, greenhouse or business involved in the organics industry is an integral part of the curriculum.

Careers
Students who complete the organic agriculture certificate will be well-prepared to work on or develop their own organic farm. The organic agriculture certificate also prepares students for employment opportunities with non-profit organizations and government agencies involved in environmental and food safety, as well as private sector food processing, marketing, organic certification, and product development industries.
Additional career information is available at the U.S. Department of Labor.

TO BE CONSIDERED AN ORGANIC FARMER YOU MUST BE CERTIFIED!!

Organic certification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mixed organic bean sprouts
Organic certification is a certification process for producers of organic food and other organic agricultural products. In general, any business directly involved in food production can be certified, including seed suppliers, farmers, food processors,retailers and restaurants. Requirements vary from country to country, and generally involve a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include:
 avoidance of most synthetic chemical inputs (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides,antibiotics, food additives, etc), genetically modified organisms, irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge;
 use of farmland that has been free from synthetic chemicals for a number of years (often, three or more);
 keeping detailed written production and sales records (audit trail);
 maintaining strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products;
 undergoing periodic on-site inspections.
In some countries, certification is overseen by the government, and commercial use of the term organic is legally restricted. Certified organic producers are also subject to the same agricultural, food safety and other government regulations that apply to non-certified producers.

Purpose of certification
Organic certification addresses a growing worldwide demand for organic food. It is intended to assure quality and prevent fraud, and to promote commerce. While such certification was not necessary in the early days of the organic movement, when small farmers would sell their produce directly at farmers’ markets, as organics have grown in popularity, more and more consumers are purchasing organic food through traditional channels, such as supermarkets. As such, consumers must rely on third-party regulatory certification.

Are federal laws against farmers & anyone else growing their own food somehow connected to depopulating the US?
category: Organic Vegetable Gardening Questions — Tags: Bill Hr,Farmers Markets, Good Food, Local Food, Organic Farming —

The “food safety” bill, HR 875, in Congress was written by Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM, etc. All are associated with the opposite of food safety.
In the simplest terms, organic food and a rebirth of farming were winning. Not in absolute numbers but in a deep and growing shift by the public toward understanding the connection between their food and their health, between good food and true social pleasures, between their own involvement in food and the improvement in their lives in general, between local food and a burgeoning local economy.
Slow Food was right – limit your food to what comes from your region and from real farmers, and slow down to cook it and linger over it with friends and family, and the world begins to change for the better.
And as we face an unprecedented economic crisis, and it is hard to be sure what has value, one thing that always does is food. Which is why the corporations are after absolute control over it. But what obstacles to a complete lock on food do they face? All the people in this country who are “banking” on organic farming and urban gardens and most of all, everyone’s deepening pleasure in and increasing involvement with everything about food. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Goodbye-farmers-markets-C-by-Linn-Cohen-Cole-090303-287.html
Farmers markets. Local farmers. Real milk. Fresh eggs. Vegetable stands.
Those are things we not only all want, but things we are actively getting involved in, and things we very much need. And where they are truly good, they are growing.

THE HORROR IN EGG PRODUCTION

In Henhouse No. 1 at the Hi-Grade Egg Farm here, the droppings from 381,000 chickens are carried off along a zig-zagging system of stacked conveyor belts with powerful fans blowing across them.
The excrement takes three days to travel more than a mile back and forth, and when it is finally deposited on a gray, 20-foot high mountain of manure, it has been thoroughly dried out, making it of little interest to the flies and rodents that can spread diseases like salmonella poisoning.
Standing by the manure pile on a recent afternoon, Robert L. Krouse, the president of Midwest Poultry Services, the company that owns the Hi-Grade farm, took a deep breath. The droppings, he declared, smelled sweet, like chocolate.
“This is the kind of thing that gets egg farmers excited,” Mr. Krouse said.
Controlling manure and keeping henhouses clean is essential to combating the toxic strain of salmonella that sickened thousands of people this year and prompted the recall of more than half a billion eggs produced by two companies in Iowa.
Chocolaty smells or not, the Hi-Grade facility appeared very different from the descriptions released by federal investigators of the Iowa farms that produced the recalled eggs. Those farms, most of them owned by Austin J. DeCoster, one of the country’s largest egg producers, were portrayed as filthy and badly maintained, with manure piles teeming with maggots and overflowing from pits beneath henhouses.
Those are not the images the egg industry wants consumers to have. Nor are they necessarily representative of most egg farms, federal regulators and industry officials agree.
Mr. Krouse’s farms were not associated with the recall, and a tour of one of them here in northern Indiana shows that much is being done in the egg industry to fight salmonella.
“We’ve had to completely change the way we look at things,” said Mr. Krouse, who is also chairman of the United Egg Producers, an industry association. “Thirty years ago, farms had flies and farms had mice, everything was exposed to everything else. They just all happily lived together. You can’t work that way anymore.”
Today the hens on Mr. Krouse’s farms come from hatcheries certified to provide chicks free of salmonella. The young birds are vaccinated to create resistance to the bacteria. And then steps are taken to keep them from being exposed to it, primarily by controlling mice and flies that may carry salmonella or spread it around.
That is where the manure drying comes in, although it has other benefits, like preventing bad smells that can bother neighbors.
Many of the henhouses have been built or refurbished in recent years. Henhouse No. 1 is three years old. On the newer henhouses, the bottom two feet of the outer walls are concrete, to make it harder for mice to get inside. The buildings are surrounded by a perimeter of stone and gravel, and the grass between buildings is cut short, to eliminate rodent habitats.
The doors seal tightly, like doors in a modern home rather than old-style barn doors. Bait containers and traps are placed along the walls, and the number of trapped mice is tracked closely to spot any increase in activity.
Visitors are made to dress in head-to-toe white coveralls made of a disposable material — evoking images of workers on the sterile floor of a semiconductor factory, only here there are downy feathers in the air and the racket made by hundreds of thousands of birds in cages stacked to the ceiling.
The suits are meant to keep out germs that visitors may track in from off the farm. They may protect against salmonella, but they are mostly aimed at pathogens that can ravage flocks with diseases like avian influenza and could be tracked in from other farms or places like golf courses that are home to wild geese.
The long, gray, tin-sided henhouses, about two football fields long, have no windows. Surrounded by fields of corn and soybeans, they hum softly with the sound of giant fans.
But everything here is not as modern as the manure drying contraption in Henhouse No. 1.
Nearby is a 12-year-old building, Henhouse No. 6.
Here more than 200,000 birds live on the house’s second floor, in cages stacked in an A-frame configuration, with an opening at the center that allows the droppings to fall into a cavernous ground floor space below.
Mr. Krouse said that just a few years ago this design was considered the most advanced, and it is still prevalent throughout the egg industry, including the henhouses at the Iowa farms involved in the recall.
At the farms in Iowa, inspectors found manure piles eight feet deep in some barns, with the manure overflowing and bursting through doors. Escaped chickens were seen loose in the manure and there were flies and maggots, according to the Food and Drug Administration inspection reports.
Once again, the picture was very different here. At the Hi-Grade barn, the manure was only about six inches deep, lying in five mounds, about four feet wide and 600 feet long, on the floor beneath the long arrays of cages. Mr. Krouse said the houses were cleaned out in early August.
Here, there was no suggestion of chocolate smells. The air had an ammonia bite, although it was far from overpowering. And there were flies, though not in large numbers (in part because of plenty of fly traps).
Gary E. Casper, a farm manager, said the key to controlling flies and rodents in this type of barn was to keep the manure dry. Large fans around the room kept the air moving. And he said it was crucial to watch for problems in the system that carries water to the birds in the cages above, and to stop leaks before they can soak the manure piles.
Many egg producers have been working for years to keep salmonella out of their flocks. Midwest Poultry began testing barns for salmonella in the late 1990s and has never found the toxic strain that can infect eggs.
In July, the F.D.A. put in place a set of egg safety rules that all producers must follow, with an emphasis on testing and rodent control. For companies like Midwest, that has meant only minor adjustments. The company, which has a total of six million laying hens in three states, spent about $200,000 upgrading refrigeration equipment to meet stricter rules for cooling eggs to prevent the growth of bacteria.
Mr. Krouse sells eggs to the large supermarket chains Kroger and Wal-Mart, and he says that those stores now scrutinize their farm suppliers much as they would a food manufacturing company.
“They’re looking at us as just another part of their food production system,” he said.

Remember the words of The Messiah in the book of Mark 13:33-37 “take heed therefore and WATCH”

The Mis-Education of Capitalism!!!!!

The Nazarene Journal
The voice of the Ebionites

What is wrong with Public Schools?

“What is wrong with public schools?” There is a lot wrong with public schools. An easier question these days is, “What’s right with public schools?” At least the list would be shorter.

The government school system in America today is sadly lacking, and not just in the realm of academic achievement. Children are, in effect, risking their lives by attending school. Fatal attacks from deranged students are spreading like an epidemic.

When I was a teenager in the 80′s, high schools had some problems with drugs and racism, but there was still a remnant of respect for teachers and school property. Not so now. Police are a common sight on school grounds, anti-drug campaigns are routine even in elementary schools, students bring weapons to class and actually kill innocent people. Public schools with the weapons, police, drugs, and violence are looking more like jails all the time.

Public “education” is a misnomer. Children aren’t able to concentrate in such a threatening environment. But the physical danger to a child’s well-being is only partly responsible for the terrible decline in schools today .

Are Government Schools Immoral????
The physical and mind crippling hazards of government schools are only manifestations of a deeper problem. The very idea of forcing all citizens to pay for a poorly run, inadequate, useless institution designed to create a society of followers for the government to rule — is evil.
First, they create a law to force parents to send their kids to school. Since our tax dollars support government schools, many parents feel inclined to send their children there, to the “free” schools, rather than pay extra for a private school education. The law, by the way, is only an attendance law that carries no accountability for the teachers to actually impart knowledge to their students. Schools have a captive audience, but no accountability to provide a good education to them.
Putting aside the corrupt form and content of government education, it is a moral injustice of forced taxation to fund a program that works against one’s own values. Any attempts to reform public education cannot possibly work. The system itself is not working, no matter what attempts or the money put into this failing system it simply is not a sound system. The proof is in the students that it produces. And while they may have small successes the overall result has failed our children.
If our government schools are not worthy of our presidents children why are they good enough for yours. The president was quoted as saying “though per-student spending has gone up in the country, student performance has gone down, which shows that “money without reform will not fix the problem.”
Obama also said that his daughters, Sasha and Malia, would not be able to obtain the same quality of instruction at D.C. public schools (which are known for their low test scores and high dropout rates) that they get at Sidwell Friends School. Advocates of education reform have called out the first family in the past for sending the girls to private school.
Today we can see four factors: first, students don’t believe in very much and are unwilling to make moral judgments; second, they have artificially inflated opinions of themselves and are unwilling to tolerate criticism; third, they are poorly educated; and finally, they hated their high school experience. The result is an explosive mixture of nihilism, narcissism, ignorance, and resentment.
Beginning in elementary school, students are taught that all lifestyles are equal and that they should not discriminate between them. What this means most of all is: “Do your own thing” and don’t judge me.
Positive reinforcement for deeds well done have been transformed by the education establishment into indiscriminate praise so that children will “feel good” about themselves regardless of whether their ideas or actions are praiseworthy. The problem with this binge in juvenile “self-love” is that children with unjustifiably high opinions of themselves are becoming aggressive and even violent when confronted with constructive criticism.

But we must look deeper. The crisis of the public schools is at heart a philosophical issue. Many administrators imply that they are implementing the Progressive approach theorized by John Dewey (1859-1952) he believed that learning was active. His idea was that children should come to school to do things and live in a community which gave them real, guided experiences which fostered their capacity to contribute to society. For example, Dewey believed that students should be involved in real-life tasks and challenges.

• maths could be learnt via learning proportions in cooking or figuring out how long it would take to get from one place to another by mule
• history could be learnt by experiencing how people lived, geography, what the climate was like, and how plants and animals grew, were important subjects

Although claiming they are implementing this theory we have seen very little evidence of this theory being put into practice. In saying this, these theories seem more practical to the alternative and why claim to be a progressive system when in fact it is a regressive system void of sound education and lacking of anything of true necessity.

The educational establishment has not responded to the needs of our youth instead public schools look more like something akin to prisons than places of learning. Barbed wire, metal detectors, identification cards, closed-circuit television monitors, and guards are common features of many of today’s inner city schools. Worse yet, the school system treat our young people in the same way that the penal system treats its prison population. A good many schools in this country are simply providing day-care for teenagers and in the worst schools they are providing incarceration. Class time is more like a prison lockup.

School has become a place where we no longer strive to acquire knowledge but rather a place to receive a piece of paper to show ourselves approved. It has taken the responsibility away from the parents and community and has discouraged other institutions from assuming educational tasks. Work, leisure, politics, and even family life depend on schools for the habits and knowledge they in fact possess, instead of becoming themselves the means of education.

What can we as parents and educators do?
Happy the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding!
– Proverbs 3:13

While we at the Congregation of Israel ultimately believe that a homeschooling community is the best alternative for our children at this time. This is due to the lack of a righteous public school system. We also believe that the parent is the primary teacher and that any outside education should in essence supplement the Parents’ education of life skills to their children. Finding a school that respects sound moral teachings is very important especially today where we see it rapidly disappearing from society. A place where students learn to be self sustaining in that they use their hands along with their minds to actually produce something. We agree with Gandhi and his opinion that manual work should not be seen as something inferior to mental work. He felt that the work of the craftsman or laborer should be the ideal model for the ‘good life’. We believe in creating schools which are based around productive work and work for the benefit of all, therefore, carrying out education of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. A real education should teach our children to be industrious, self-respecting and a generous individual learning in a cooperative community.

Being a teacher myself I have seen firsthand the lack of education in the inner city schools. I have seen eighteen year old students that cannot write a grammatically correct sentence and knows nothing about interest rates, inflation, our political system, geography, or the monetary fund’s that govern our society, in short we are creating students unfit for citizenship in that they know nothing about society and cannot produce a single thing. All of these qualities are keeping our children ignorant to the real problems in our society and ensuring that they will not have the tools to be true affect the change so desperately needed.

One thing I noticed in my experience teaching is that the students who had parental involvement were much more successful than those who had none. We vehemently believe in parental involvement and realize that parents are the key element missing in the inner city schools.

Basic education needs to be concerned with learning that is generated within everyday life. We need to help raise students with moral standings and educated voices that can truly understand the culture around us teaching self reliance but also cooperation inside a community.

Lastly, it is an education that is aimed at educating the whole person, rather than concentrating on one aspect. It is a highly moral activity that will take God and his laws, parents, mentors who have a true love for children and community to be thoroughly effective.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; wisdom and instruction fools despise.
– Proverbs 1:7

Compassion conquers Oppression!!

socialistsoundz — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 12:39:29 +0000

How does oppression exist? It exist because of selfishness which is the primary cause of greed, the doctrine of gain and the idea of capitalism.

Capitalism is the economic ideology of western culture, beginning with the concept of individual freedom and the right to protect it, therefore to protect individual freedom is to protect what that freedom offers, capitalism.
The personal gain and well being which for the most part appears to be ideal for all, is however the reason for certain inevitable fears that leads concordingly with selfishness, greed, envy, jealousy, anger and even murder!

Unless we take the time to learn and understand who the enemy is, and how the enemy operates and prevails we will never come to a solution!

So the only way we can defeat the oppression of the capitalist culture we live in is to valiantly fight for the cause of the poor laborer and righteously stand for the socialization of the honest who abhors oppression through compassion!

“Revolution is not a dinner party, nor an essay, nor a painting, nor a piece of embroidery; it cannot be advanced softly, gradually, carefully, considerately, respectfully, politely, plainly, and modestly. A revolution is an insurrection, an act…….by which one class overthrows another.”

Jesus taught Communism!!!

socialistsoundz — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 03:40:31 +0000

Jesus taught Communism!!!

What is defined as Communism?

From Wikipedia,

Communism is a social structure in which classes are abolished and property is commonly controlled, as well as a political philosophy and social movement that advocates and aims to create such a society.

Pure communism in the Marxian sense refers to a classless, stateless and oppression-free society where decisions on what to produce and what policies to pursue are made democratically, allowing every member of society to participate in the decision-making process in both the political and economic spheres of life.

Now looking at this definition, I ask did Jesus/Yahshua teach or advocate this type of living? let”s see.

Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
Joh 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

First He taught to love one another by laying down your life, but what does this mean *laying down your life*? Is it dying literaly or is he refering to something else? If he is refering to something else then what and how?

well let’s see what He meant and what did he teach us concerning what life we ought to lay down.

Mar 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
Mar 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
Mar 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

Now this man inquired of eternal life so Jesus/Yahshua pointed him to the commandments, but notice how he tried to justify himself.

Mar 10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth

but this part of the commandment he obviously was unaware of,

Mar 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Mar 10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
This man was lacking because his life was bound in his riches even though he observed the commandments from his youth.
(Pro 13:7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing:(this is where the that man was lacking) there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.(What Christ was referring to) 8 The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.)
Mar 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Mar 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Why? Because his life is bound by riches

(Matt 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also).
Mar 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Mar 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,

In other words, not only the rich, but no one has left their personal comforts for the sake of Christ and the Gospel

But to take up your cross (self denial) and truly live as Jesus/Yahshua has taught and demonstrated is a life of better riches, literally!!

Mar 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

So if we deny ourselves and bear our cross, and forsake our personal comforts and attachments shall we receive in this lifetime the things even the rich man was sorrowful over?

YES!!

But how would this be if we are commanded to forsake all?

Let’s look at the obedient faith of his apostles and the example of the love he taught us through them and then shall learn how,

Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
Act 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Act 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Act 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

They laid their possessions down and took care of each others needs having all things common, this is how they had houses, family, lands etc. Because everyone who believed laid down their lives (riches and personal comforts) and sold them and gave to the poor (those in need)!

This is that Greater love Christ was talking about, denying your own selves and living a common life having all things common!

Let’s read this again to confirm this act of love

Act 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Act 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
Act 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Act 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

This is the Gospel, the good news that the poor needs, that the world needs, to be blunt the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the pure teaching and understanding of communism!!

Read the definition again-
*Communism is a social structure in which classes are abolished and property is commonly controlled, as well as a political philosophy and social movement that advocates and aims to create such a society.*

Isn’t that what we’ve been reading here, the perfect example of the definition of communism manifest in the teaching and acts of Christ and his believers?
YES!!!!
This IS the common life (communism) which IS the common salvation for all who believe!

Tit 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

So let’s get ourselves together and work out this common salvation and contend (compete) for it!

We leave you with the words of one of the believers who practiced this communist Christian life, the Apostle Peter;

Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Shalom!!

Capitalism is oppressive!

socialistsoundz — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:56:45 +0000

Capitalism is oppressive! But, why? The people with little stake in it, defend it and have faith in it.
Could part of the answer lie in the question, “Who controls the “ideas” that predominate in our society? “ Who or what shapes the thoughts of the citizens of capitalist counties?
The power and the wealth in the hands of corrupt men who run and profit from American capitalism, also gives them easy access to the people minds.
Corporate interests (who rob, enslave and exploit), own and control the news papers. They finance and operate the television networks and the wire services; they also own publishing companies promoting their ideas in mainstream magazines and books.
Huge empires exists that interlock industrial corporations with the media and the media with one another. For example RCA, NBC, RANDOM HOUSE, CBS, FOX NEWS etc. are run and influenced by powerful corporations that benefit off of oppression and exploitation.
The ideas (and goals) they put in people are ideas which justify the status quo (present state of things). Through the media, “schools” and the speeches of politicians and intellectuals they penetrate much of the social science taught in high schools and colleges, in which they force their ideas on students, as sensible goals to strive for.
Capitalist ideology (ideas) endeavors to suppress the idea that any preferable alternative (to the present state or wretched condition of so many poor), does or could exist other than capitalism. Systematically, capitalism is the least favorable choice of social system that will attack oppression, repression and inequity and correcting the root of these problems.
Capitalist imply that existing social institutions cannot be transcended and attempts to challenge the present state of things are fundamentally irrational
The leading characteristics of the ideology which dominate our society today is its’extreme confusion. To understand capitalist ideology, it means to understand its contradictions.
Today, it is difficult to understand the major problems that have taken hold on mankind in capitalist countries without questioning capitalism itself, and without a preparedness to expose the exploitation of the poor by the rich capitalist-you will never see the problems solved.
One tool of the capitalist to oppress the masses is through their educational institutions. Schools service the “corporate economy” in crucial ways. One of these ways is to select out ahead of time those who will hold positions of authority in society and those who will do the labor and low wage paying jobs.
Schools create a hierarchy, they determine who will get “CEO” and supervisor positions (high paying jobs) and who will get to do the labor and low wage paying jobs. One way this is done through schools, is by tracking. The capitalist, however, seeks to have a pool of labor to chose from, that is from the educated “CEO/supervisor “ class and from the less educated labor and low wage class.
The number of educated people has grown to such an extent that it has great benefits for the rich capitalist. For example, when less people were educated, the educated was, you can say, precious and rare, so he (the oppressed educated person) could negotiate top dollar and more likely to be released from the shackles of oppression.
But, know, the capitalist have sought to make a pool of educated people to choose from, thereby, driving down wages and the value of the educated. This also increases the competition and the fight for bread and lack of social togetherness.
The labor market for the educated laborer is today as overstocked as the market of manual low wage labor. By this, the capitalist have more to choose from, this in turns, lowers the wages the capitalist has to pay out and increases fierce competition in the educated work force.
This same scenario exist for the overstocked labor and low wage workforce, which keeps wages down and more profits for the rich capitalist. Also the capitalist benefits from the “unemployed class “of people with very little or no money. This class helps keep inflation down, capitalists “need” a class of people who have no work or income.
Capitalists also benefits (they are more likely to fall to a life of crime) from this class by all business directly and indirectly associated with the criminal justice system. The poor workers pay a tax that pays the rich, they make great profits off of prisons, the criminal justice system, and even the prisoners become cheap labor as they work for corporations while they are in prison. Just think of the food suppliers, the clothes makers the heat and energy that goes into the prison populations and the corporations enormous profits gained by supplying these necessities.
So we are told “to get a good job, get a good education” America is the land of opportunity, because everyone has a chance to get a good education and a good paying job, and many people believe this. Poor people believe their children, at least have a chance to make a decent life for themselves, if “your kid studies hard and be on the ball…” This, for the most part is a ‘myth’!
In America today the hidden truth is, that the number of good paying jobs are limited, there are many jobs that pay the poor, starvation wages, yet, they are limited, also, simply it’s not enough of them. There is in fact a permanent “job shortage” which capitalism cannot alleviate (nor does it want to). In other words, in capitalism, there are not enough jobs for every single person to have a job, even if they were able, qualified and wanted to work!
From this permanent lack of jobs, rich capitalists actually benefit, since it is primarily by means of such high unemployment that wages are kept down and inflation controlled and profits for the few rich growing to colossal heights.
Noam Chompsky, a great mind in social and political views, commented on the children of the poor class, his comment was on the view of the corporate and rich elite… “Both prisons and inner city schools target a kind of superfluous population that there’s nothing for them to do. Because we’re a civilized people, we put them in prison, rather than sending death squads out to murder them…”(The Common Good,
p. 37)

A change must be made, Capitalism is an oppressive social system, a change is coming. Be a part of it now!

“Lord, thou has heard the desire of the humble; thou wilt cause thine ear to hear, to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.” Ps. 10:17-18

“He shall judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with justice. He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy and shall break in pieces the oppressor. Ps. 72:2,4.

Jobless, Homelessness & Poverty- Is No Accident !

Jobless, Homelessness &
Poverty- Is No Accident !

In countries where the capitalist system of production prevails , the masses of the people are forced down to the condition of workers who are systematically separated from their tools, instruments and skills of production, so that, they can not produce nothing by their own efforts and they are therefore subject to the position of mere consumers and dependent as slaves to the few rich and powerful capitalists.

The elite affluent oppressors, a small group of property holders, ‘capitalists’ and landlords, who alone, possess the most important means of production and the most important sources of livelihood, the executive or private ownership of which (enables & invest) them with the power to enslave and subjugate the class of property -less and to exploit them.

While the majority of the people, sink into ever deeper in want and misery, this small group of capitalists and landlords seek to gain enormous wealth and profits seeking to take advantage of human beings and nature, destroying and depleting the earth of its resources and the poor, of their livelihood. They care not of the wretched, miserable condition of the poor and impoverished, their only concern is gain and profits.

To protect the rich and famous, military expenses of the great world-states have increased incredibly and to add insult to injury , the state is becoming constantly more expensive its monetary burdens ever heavier. Capitalist and landowners try everywhere to force these money burdens upon the poor classes.

LABOR FOR CHANGE!

“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch out of his roots: And the Spirit of YHWH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; …

WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL HE JUDGE THE POOR, and reprove with EQUITY for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,

and with the breath of his lips shall he SLAY THE WICKED.”

ISAIAH 11:1,2,4

“…so are their houses (the oppressors) full of DECIET: therefore they are become great, and grown RICH. They have become FAT, they SHINE: yes, they exceed in the deeds of wickedness;

they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy (poor) do they not judge. Shall I not visit for these things? Says the LORD YHWH; SHALL NOT MY SOUL BE AVENGED ON SUCH A
NATION AS THIS ?”
JEREMIAH 5:27– 29

Defiled bread among the Nations

socialistsoundz — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:05:00 +0000

Your defiled bread among the gentiles!

What ever happened to the movement among brothers and sisters that encouraged self sustainment and promoted health consciousness among our poor folks? That shunned the selfish goals of the rich and abhorred capitalism? What happened to the strength of this idea among men and women in this world? Everyone’s concerned about what’s right in their own eyes, and this has become a poison in the minds of us all! Far too much consideration is place on personal gratification and the fear of loss, leaving everyone with a defensive mentality. Now for the people who say they believe in the Bible I ask, is believing the only concept required to allow change to take place, and if so then particularly what is there to believe? Now we know to believe God, Yah, Yahweh, Yahawah, Yahua, The Most High, or whatever you wanna call him, that’s not the issue……… Then what is?

It’s defining what that actual belief is!

Those who say they believe in the Bible should consider what’s written in the book of James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

One good example of faithful works is in verse 15 of the same chapter, if there’s poor folks, or those struggling in your camps, bible class, church, synagogue, temple, community or meeting place and you don’t take care of their economic and social needs then you are actually breaking the law of God!………how?
Let’s look in the book of Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

Now some vain man or woman will say that we are not in that land and that law only applies to the laws of the land of promise

But keep in mind what Yah said in Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. 3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

Yah judged our fathers in the land and cast them out because of their wickedness in how they dealt with each other.

He also judged them in the land for how they dealt with the poor, as we read in Isaiah 3:13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. 14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts

And in their wicked judgment against the poor they even made their OWN decrees as in the 10th chapter of Isaiah beginning at verse 1, it reads; 1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

These were reasons israel was cast out of the land as well as many other reasons because of how they treated their brethren in the land, which is no different than how we are treated in the land of our captivity, we hate when people ask for help, when a homeless person ask you for change we almost cringe! We even get to the point where we’ll say “The Lord said don’t be a fool you shouldn’t let people play you and etc….”

The truth and solution to this issue is found beginning in the book of Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Now this young man kept the commandments but there was still something lacking in this young mans faith.

But when Peter asked Yahshua what they (the apostles) shall receive after they left all to follow him, look what he told them;

28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life

And we see this fulfilled in Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Also in Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

If we truley believe then let us follow the example of the apostles and believe on God through their word as is written in John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

So let stop saying we believe and start re examining this Bible and show that we believe
1st Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Shalom

Ps download skype and friend search *Joseph diggs* every tuesday @ 7:30pm EST we gather with all who call themselves Israel to come to the table and go from there,
Where? Let’s find out! israelites what are we as those who say we understand among the people going to do together and collectively to help reverse the destruction that so long poisoned us through food and beverage?
We lean on the idea that only the Creator alone will fix these things and deliver but fail to acknowledge that in the bible it is written in the book of Jeremiah 29
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; 5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them

Even in the 1st babylonian captivity our fathers were instructed to take means to live by producing their own!

But now in this second captivity we are totally consumed by the food industry! And for the love of our own convenience we accept what’s given to us even if its harmful.

This type of diet is totally expressed in Ezekiel 4 beginning at verse 9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 13 And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
And today we eat and suffer due to our continuous consumption of our “defiled bread” among these nations,
Just look at some of the symptoms;

High calorie, sugar laden processed foods coupled with our sedentary lifestyles is growing our waistlines and contributing to serious health issues like diabetes, heart ailments and cancers. One-third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese.

And this is no accident or coincidence, this is strategically done by design! Hers a few ways industries systemised the agricultural production of food beginning with;

Factory Farming

Approximately 10 billion animals (chickens, cattle, hogs, ducks, turkeys, lambs and sheep) are raised and killed in the US annually. Nearly all of them are raised on factory farms under inhumane conditions. These industrial farms are also dangerous for their workers, pollute surrounding communities, are unsafe to our food system and contribute significantly to global warming.

And from this type of food processing comes the effects on our health!

Cancers, autism and neurological disorders are associated with the use of pesticides especially amongst farm workers and their communities. Learn about what pesticides are in your food and their effects.

Genetic EngineeringSome of our most important staple foods have been fundamentally altered, and genetically engineered meat and produce have already invaded our grocery stores and our kitchen pantries.

Cloning In January 2008, the FDA approved the sale of meat and milk from cloned livestock, despite the fact that Congress voted twice in 2007 to delay FDA’s decision on cloned animals until additional safety and economic studies could be completed.

If the system is doing this to us simply to capitalize for profit then its no wonder the drug companies and all their sorceries (5331 in the strongs concordance is medication) is prevailing so strong and profiting well!!!!

We must revolutionize by becoming self sufficient its our only option!!
