Will the Real Jesus Please Stand up?

I came across this vid this morning. I really love this song, it is so beautiful. My favorite lines are:

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Elyon na Adonai
Age to Age your still the same
by power of the name
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Erkamka na Adonai
We will praise and lift you high
El Shaddai

What really touches me is "age to age your still the same". That is so important to me. I am so thankful that I can rely on God's consistency.

However lovely this song is, it is not perfect. While the Word of God is perfect and trustworthy, man is prone to screwing up.
I am talking about the following lyrics:

Though the people failed to see
What Messiah ought to be
Though your word contained the plan
They just could not understand

Can you guess what it is that annoys me about this blurb? Time and again throughout our history the church has to always poke the Jew in the eye. Christian's who tend to do this are acting so arrogant. They are essentially saying "you losers are so stupid and blind, look how favored we are by God. We get it! What's wrong with you!"

Wanna know what's wrong? The church stole their Messiah and anglicized him! How in the world can you expect to repackage a Jewish Messiah into a blond-haired, blue-eyed, pork-eatin, Jew-killin, sabbath-breakin, white guy and wonder what's wrong wit dem dum Joos?

Let me tell ya a little something about what the Jews are expecting of their Messiah. First, He must pass the prophet test. This test is given to them in Deuteronomy.

"You shall follow the Lord you God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.

But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has counseled rebellion against the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, to seduce you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from among you."
(Deuteronomy 13:4-5)

What do you think? Does our Jesus pass this test? Does our Jesus lead His followers to walk in the paths of the Torah? We all know the answer to this. The church has come up with a zillion doctrines to try to iron out this glaring inconsistency.

Will the real Jesus please stand up?!

"Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Torah until all is accomplished.

"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17-19

Thank you, Jesus, for clearing this up. :)

Another thing that I would like to point out, the church likes to go on and on about how the Jews rejected their Messiah, but the Gentiles got it right. I view this as someone who likes to belittle others to make themselves look good. But that is not the point I want to make. The Jews did not really initially completely reject Jesus.

Let's step back in time for a moment. It's first century Judea and we are in Jerusalem for Shavuot (Pentecost).

So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41

Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 2: 46,47

That wasn't to be the last of it. Jews continued to accept the Messiah in droves.

But many of those who had heard the message believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. Acts 4:4

And when they heard it they began glorifying God; and they said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Torah; Acts 21:20

The word "thousands" used by James in Acts 21:20 to describe the grand number of believing Jews in Jerusalem in Greek is "murios". Greek is the original language of the New Testament.
James said "murios". That paints quite a bigger picture than the english word "thousands". Murios literally means 1)ten thousand 2)an innumerable multitude, an unlimited number 3)innumerable hosts. WOWSERS, that's a lot of Jews. I wonder what the overall population of Jerusalem was at that time?

The main antagonists against the early Believers were the Sadducees and not so much the Pharisees. The Pharisees actually had much in common and even respect for the piousness of the Jesus-followers. Saul/Paul had to go outside of his pharisaical circle and team up with the Sadducees to persecute the Christians.

A lot of the opposition was not simply theological but political. The Sadducees rejected the notion of resurrection and were the political ruling power (within the Jewish world of Jerusalem). They were smaller in number but were in cahoots with Rome who in turn empowered them. The very fast growing Jesus movement was a major threat to their maintaining of control.

It has become such a habit of the church to malign the UNBELIEVING Jews for rejecting Messiah, that most non-Jews don't even realize they are doing it. Trust me, the Jews notice. My hope is that we can change this shameful trend.

Why Schools Don't Educate

This is the partial text of a speech by John Taylor Gatto accepting the New York City Teacher of the Year Award on January 31, 1990. Please follow the link below to read it in full. It is a must read. This guy has some serious cajones! Wow! LOL I imagine he dropped a lot of jaws in the audience that night.

I accept this award on behalf of all the fine teachers I've known over the years who've struggled to make their transactions with children honorable ones, men and women who are never complacent, always questioning, always wrestling to define and redefine endlessly what the word "education" should mean. A Teacher of the Year is not the best teacher around, those people are too quiet to be easily uncovered, but he is a standard-bearer, symbolic of these private people who spend their lives gladly in the service of children. This is their award as well as mine.

We live in a time of great school crisis. Our children rank at the bottom of nineteen industrial nations in reading, writing and arithmetic. At the very bottom. The world's narcotic economy is based upon our own consumption of the commodity, if we didn't buy so many powdered dreams the business would collapse - and schools are an important sales outlet. Our teenage suicide rate is the highest in the world and suicidal kids are rich kids for the most part, not the poor. In Manhattan fifty per cent of all new marriages last less than five years. So something is wrong for sure.

Our school crisis is a reflection of this greater social crisis. We seem to have lost our identity. Children and old people are penned up and locked away from the business of the world to a degree without precedent - nobody talks to them anymore and without children and old people mixing in daily life a community has no future and no past, only a continuous present. In fact, the name "community" hardly applies to the way we interact with each other. We live in networks, not communities, and everyone I know is lonely because of that. In some strange way school is a major actor in this tragedy just as it is a major actor in the widening guilt among social classes. Using school as a sorting mechanism we appear to be on the way to creating a caste system, complete with untouchables who wander through subway trains begging and sleep on the streets.

I've noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my twenty-five years of teaching - that schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don't really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions. Although teachers do care and do work very hard, the institution is psychopathic - it has no conscience. It rings a bell and the young man in the middle of writing a poem must close his notebook and move to different cell where he must memorize that man and monkeys derive from a common ancestor.

Our form of compulsory schooling is an invention of the state of Massachusetts around 1850. It was resisted - sometimes with guns - by an estimated eighty per cent of the Massachusetts population, the last outpost in Barnstable on Cape Cod not surrendering its children until the 1880's when the area was seized by militia and children marched to school under guard.

Now here is a curious idea to ponder. Senator Ted Kennedy's office released a paper not too long ago claiming that prior to compulsory education the state literacy rate was 98% and after it the figure never again reached above 91% where it stands in 1990. I hope that interests you.

Here is another curiosity to think about. The homeschooling movement has quietly grown to a size where one and a half million young people are being educated entirely by their own parents. Last month the education press reported the amazing news that children schooled at home seem to be five or even ten years ahead of their formally trained peers in their ability to think....

American Public Education ~ The Making of a Sheeple

I think one reason why so many of us fail to recognize the farce of public education is because we ourselves were conditioned through that very system. We are too close to the forest to see the trees. Besides, it is just too easy to put them on that bus and believe someone else can do it better than you.

I am deeply concerned about our country's future. Soon, it will be in the hands of those who, since K5, have been indoctrinated into the collective consciousness of new age thinking. How many public high school students can you find who are not Obamaphiles? Or Students who do not understand what socialism is, yet agree and support it's tenets?

The purpose of education and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students. - Prof. Benjamin Bloom,father of OBE (Outcome Based Education)

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~Ronald Reagan, 40th president of U.S.

Charlotte Iserbyt served as Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education, during the first Reagan Administration, where she first blew the whistle on a major technology initiative which would control curriculum in America's classrooms.

In this video Charlotte, author of The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, points out that teachers can be trained to influence the children to reject the Christian values and beliefs of their parents and embrace atheism in one hour.

I encourage you to watch this vid as Charlotte reveals that our school systems are not just about reading, writing, and arithmetic...a message all American parents should hear.

BTW, her book is now available for free e-book download.

We have a cultural notion that if children were not engineered, if we did not manipulate them, they would grow up as beasts in the field. This is the wildest fallacy in the world. - Joseph Chilton Pearce

Cumpulsory Education and our Babies

I have wanted to blog on this for some time and since I am procrastinating studying for Tuesday's test this seems like as good a time as any.

The Obama is setting his sights on our youngins. The truth is the government has had their clutches in our youth for many, many, years, starting at age five. This is no longer good enough! For now, they want them right out of diapers. "The Village" thinks they are better at rearing mindless voters children better than you, the parent. THIS is a LIE! Sadly, our people have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. Our youth have suffered. Anyone with eyes wide open can see this, just walk through the halls of our schools between classes or worse ride home on a school bus.

The NEA and the STATE have convinced the people that they can do this child-rearing thing better than us. So, what do we do...we hand over our kids and go to work. Meanwhile, at the school building, it is the blind leading the blind and the Socialists educating indoctrinating the kiddies. All this in the name of "education". After all "it's for the children".

Time and again, I have read on the net the serious "concerns", of those opposed to homeschooling, typically leftists. They can't stand the idea of these parent-reared children escaping their propaganda machine. They are soo worried about these future conservative traditionalists little children falling through the cracks and never being properly "socialized" into the State Controlled Consciousness.

Every time some non-homeschooler says to me, "but what about socialization?" I cringe! Seriously, folk! It is for the sake of proper "socialization" that I refuse to put my kids under someone else's value system. AND, this is what the left hates so much about homeschooling. They don't care about whether or not my children are truly educated. They want their hearts, minds and souls.

This could easily be two posts and my reality is that I really don't have the time to do this subject justice. It is important. So, I will leave you with this very important video by John Taylor Gatto and an article that articulates , far better than I could, the problems with government sponsored preschool. My super quick and thoughtful commentary of government preschool, "Wow, that is such a stupid idea! Heck no, they can't have my babies!"

Back to this John Taylor Gatto fella. He was named New York City Teacher of the year in 1989, 1990, and 1991, and New York State Teacher of the Year in 1991. He retired after teaching for 29 years and 8mos. The sentiments he expresses as a teacher in the public compulsory education system are in tune with my experiences as a student in that same program. For these reasons I choose to NOT submit my children to "The System".

I am astounded that now they want to institutionalize our babies, God forbid.



A Washington Times Op-ed - Obama's Zero to Five Plan Doesn't Add Up
by J. Michael Smith

To no one’s surprise, President Obama plans to ask Congress to spend billions of dollars on public education. As he stated in his presidential agenda on education, the country cannot afford four more years of neglect and indifference. This neglect and indifference, according to the president, occurred despite the fact that in the last four years, the federal government and the states have spent more money on public education than at any other time in the history of our nation.

What is surprising about Mr. Obama’s education initiative is his priority on early childhood education. His “Zero to Five Plan” targets early care, beginning with infants. States will be given grants to begin moving toward universal preschool.

The presumption by Mr. Obama is that the earlier children start formal education, the better chance they have of being successful in life and being competitive in the global market. Sounds good, but is this policy backed by evidence that government involvement in child rearing from birth actually works?

The answer is “No!” In a 2005 Stanford University/University of California study that focused on children attending preschool, it was confirmed that attendance in preschool centers, even for short periods of time each week, hindered the rate at which young children developed social skills. These findings refuted the assertion by many that for children to develop socially, they must be involved in a classroom setting at a very early age.

The Southwest Policy Institute concluded: “Contrary to common belief, early institutional schooling can harm children emotionally, intellectually and socially, and may later lead to greater peer dependency.” ....

The Komissar has Summoned

Have you seen this wildly popular Youtube vid? Apparently, Washington has. The leader of the "free" world has been aroused from his throne and personally sent for this provocateur of the people to appear before him, "to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos" .

My imagination is alive with speculation of how our new dictator president will silence such inciting dissent. Perhaps, he will tax him... or use his Jedi mind trick on him...or inebriate his brain with the Dope of Hope...or banish him to one of the 57 states not listed on "our" map ...or waterboard him in tea...or sic Michelle on him...or sentence him to attend a Code Pink rally...or.......

Update: If our beloved rabble-rouser, Thomas Paine (Bob Basso), can free himself from the powers of the Jedi in time he will be the keynote speaker at the Indianapolis Tax Day Tea Party. That's so cool.

Ya know, perhaps, I am being presumptuous. It could be that our great and hallowed king simply wants to thank Mr. Paine for all the yummy tea he has received over the past month. It is a possibility that His Majesty has been struck with common sense and would like to consult with Tom over tea and crumpets...or not.

Why MINE belong at Home

I have not been lurking around the net much these days. I have been super busy with my new endeavor and maintaining old ones. I have gone back to school and I am a bit obsessed with showing up the youngins in my classes...

Blogging had to take a backseat to life. I plan to continue homeschooling my children and keep up with all the opportunities that enrich their lives. My son will be performing in Fiddler on the Roof, next month and he is playing spring football. My youngest daughter's softball season has just begun. It seems we are out of the house everyday for some activity or obligation.

I love homeschooling, so much. It is well worth the investment and sacrifices. I think it is hard for non-homeschoolers to "get it" (why we do it)... The rewards are eternal and make for such an amazing home life. The relationships homeschooling parents enjoy with their homeschooled kids is difficult to describe without sounding arrogant. I KNOW there is a difference. I have been a mom for nearly 18 years. I have dwelt in the world of children and families and have observed enough to be an authority in this area. I homeschool because I have seen and lived the results and it works. I believe it to be superior to the other choices...just as public school or private school parents believe their choices are the best. I may sound haughty, but if I weren't convinced of this I wouldn't do it. I am so thankful parents have the right to make what they believe to be is the BEST educational choice for THEIR children.

I love this vid and it encompasses a lot of why MY children belong at home. Liberated, is a good word to describe our homeschooling lifestyle.

Anyone have some pups they would like to add? It could even be a 1/2 breed hybrid-breed such as a malti-poo or even an adorable shorkie.

Dear American Democrats,

Please watch this vid of your buddies in their own words and don't be such tools, thank you.
