Richard Wurmbrand

 Richard Wurmbrand

Richard Wurmbrand was a Romanian individual who initially was a socialist. When he grew up, he accepted King Jesus Christ LORD and Savior and decided to be a Christian. Wurmbrand forsook communism for King Jesus Christ. Wurmbrand would then decide to be a Christian preacher leading other individuals to Christianity. 

Wurmbrand would be harassed and persecuted by socialists for preaching the Gospel and obedience to the commandments of Moses. Wurmbrand was sent to gulag and envied for opposing communism. Wurmbrand was given the option to renounce the true faith for a watered down version of the Gospel that favored socialism over Christianity. Wurmbrand refused and was sent to gulag in Romania. 

Wurmbrand spent years in gulag where he was treated negatively. He was reviled and physically assaulted by socialists for keeping his faith. Similar to stories from the Gulag Archipelago, Wurmbrand refused to compromise his faith for socialism. Wurmbrand survived gulag and was freed.

Wurmbrand then decided to keep preaching the Gospel. He did not get discouraged despite having been deprived of his liberty for his faith. Wurmbrand helped other individuals who had been persecuted for their Christian belief. He also left Romania while it was in the Soviet Union and lived in the United States. Wurmbrand wrote multiple books about his life and did not get discouraged nor departed from the faith. His life describes how it is possible to keep the faith despite persecution. Wurmbrand also helped describe how GOD Almighty does not forsake. Wurmbrand lived to long life despite being persecuted by socialists. Romania was one of the 50-60 nations from the Soviet Union who renounced communism for Christianity and capitalism in the 1990s. The Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s describing how Christianity speaks truth. Wurmbrand may have been another reason why the Soviet Union collapsed. 

Freedom of Religion

The Founders of the Constitution described how each individual is created equal. This means that each human life has dignity. We have seen how there are human rights given in the Constitution. We learn that there is the right to freedom of religion (without harming others), right to bear arms (for self-defense), and freedom of speech (without slander). This describes how each human being is important. We learn that the United States allowed individuals from all nations to worship GOD Almighty. Solzhenitsyn was able to live in the US after being exiled. Solzhenitsyn was able to write books and specifically the Gulag Archipelago.

Wurmbrand also was able to live in the United States and write and publish books on Christianity. We learn that the snake hates Christians seen in how Christians were persecuted in the Soviet Union for refusing to practice socialism. Despite envy, individuals kept persevering and helped see how socialism leads to envy and opposing Christianity. We learn that Scripture tells us that we have autonomy to decide if we want to worship GOD Almighty or not. The Founding Fathers included this understanding in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We learn that while it is better that everyone worships GOD Almighty and practices empathy, GOD Almighty gives the choice. This is while socialism does not want individuals to have a choice. There are countries that have chosen to avoid socialism for Christianity. We learn that Democratic Republics are not liked by socialists. This describes how each country is unique and distinct also. Romania and Russia have improved since the 1990s along with other countries that chose Christianity and Democracy. We can persevere learning about our human rights and also Democratic Republics that have chosen autonomy and goodness over socialism. 

The Puritans and Quakers

 The Puritans and Quakers

There were different Christian denominations in the United States in the 1500s and 1600s. The Christian denominations included Puritans, Quakers, Calvinists, Methodists, Lutherans and Baptists. Despite going through adversity and persecution, they were able to persist preaching King Jesus Christ and allowing for peace and harmony to exist in America. The Christians persisted yet there was opposition from the snake. Not all Native American tribes were non-hostile, yet there were some that were (describing the story of Sacagewea). 

The hostile tribes practiced idol worship and used illict substances described as peyote. The hostile Native Americans envied Christians since they were idolatrous. There were Christians that were persecuted, yet they did not renounce their faith and obtained eternal salvation. One example is Jamestown in the 1600s where hostile idolators burned down Jamestown. 

Despite the persecution, Christians persevered and preached to different regions. The Thirteen Colonies became states and there were additional states added after Christians settled in other states. Christians populated the new states and were favored for trusting in GOD Almighty. The Quakers kept believing in Christianity and were noted for their zeal and traditional clothing that shunned materialism. There were noted Quakers like Dalton who made scientific discoveries and remained a Christian which contradicts the notion that Christianity is anti-science. Christians understood the value of empathy and peace that allowed society to prosper. Having stability in society allowed for scientific discoveries.

The Puritans were able to persist through persecution in Europe and from hostile Native Americans. The Puritans did not renounce their faith and persevered through adversity. Then after persecution in Europe and from hostile idolators, there was persecution from witches. The witches probably used sorcery to afflict Christians. There are stories that state that witches were able to harass Christians with evil spirits. There are stories that state that Christians felt negative sensations such as pin pricks. The obvious reasoning was the witches. However, this did not prevent Christian Puritans from renouncing their faith. The Christians defended themselves and kept preaching. (We do not harm sorcerors and witches yet do avoid them.) The witches also tempted to practice lust and then sorcery. This occurred in the 1600s in the US. Despite the hostile witches, America prospered because Puritans kept to their ideals and faith.

Persisting Through Persecution Similar to the Pilgrims and Puritans

This describes how the snake envies individuals that prefer GOD Almighty over the temporary things of the world. Salem was a noted city in the United States that was persecuted by witches and sorcerors in the 1600s, yet Puritans prevailed. It is noted that their life was the worship of GOD Almighty. Pastors preached, wives taught their family in the worship, and children grew up with ideals and values. Since they prospered, the snake attempted to sabotage their serenity. The United States prospered in the 1600s because of the Christian faith. And since the 1600s, there have been attempts by the snake to diminish the United States, communities, and families. Puritans did not get discouraged and trusted GOD Almighty. That is why the US is hated by the snake. 

That is why the 1960s were turbulent as socialism, rock and roll, idol worship, racism, and hostility tried to diminish the US. Christians kept preaching and worshiping GOD Almighty repudiating socialism and racism. We have seen how the snake hates unity and serenity in society and has again attempted to discourage through socialism and racism. We can persevere knowing that GOD Almighty is our everything similar to the Christians of the 1600s and 1960s who did not let idolatry diminish their faith. The socialists lie that Christians persecuted witches in the 1600s and socialists in th 1960s when in fact it was the witches and socialists who persecuted Christians. We can persist acknowledging our American heritage that is not founded on idolatry nor socialism. That is why socialists and idolators hate that each nation has their own distinctness just as individuals are different and unique. 

Preaching Christianity and Avoiding Idolators

The United States is impressive because despite persecution, it has endured with Christian values and morals. This describes why it is envied by socialists for allowing freedom of religion and speech that allows the Gospel to be preached and also envied by racists for allowing individuals of all ethnicities to learn Christianity and improve. It is also envied by idolators (jihadi muslims and marxists) who hate Christianity since it is the true faith. 

We can persevere acknowledging that jihadi muslims and marxists may employ sorcery being idolators and persecutors of Christianity despite the appearance of self-righteousness. If they foment hostility and persecution, then they are not peaceful. We should avoid idolators who envy.

Pope John Paul II

 Pope John Paul II 

Interpretacion a otros lenguajes

"In order to set man free from fear of himself, of the world, of others, of earthly powers, of oppressive systems, in order to set him free from every manifestation of a servile fear... it is necessary to pray fervently that He will cultivate in his heart the true fear of GOD, which is the beginning of wisdom."- Crossing the Threshold of Hope (page 228)

Pope John Paul II described the importance of worshiping GOD Almighty with zeal and fidelity. We learn that he was able to be a priest and then was able to be pope in 1978. Pope John Paul II described the importance of obedience to GOD Almighty and also genuine empathy to mankind. We learn that Pope John Paul II preached about the importance of responsibility. While Pope John Paul II preached about the importance of King Jesus Christ and obedience to the commandments, there was opposition from communism and socialism.

"This fear of GOD is the saving power of the Gospel. It is a constructive, never destructive fear."

Pope John Paul II kept preaching and speaking truth even when there was opposition seen in communism. We learn from his book, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, about the opposition that existed in the socialists and communists that did not want him to preach at universities. We learn that even when they attempted to prevent him from preaching and speaking truth, Pope John Paul II persevered preaching Christianity. We learn that Pope John Paul II decided to honor the Creator, GOD Almighty, instead of listening to the discouragements and envy of the communists. We learn that Pope John Paul II was led by the worship of GOD Almighty and not by fear. We learn that instead Pope John Paul II chose to worship GOD Almighty than listen to the discouragements of a flawed communist false belief.

"The fear of GOD creates people who allow themselves to be led by responsibility, by responsible love."

We learn that Pope John Paul II had an assassination attempt in 1981 in Moscow when a sniper rifle bullet hit Pope John Paul II. We learn that Pope John Paul II was able to recover from the assassination attempt and was able to keep preaching truth. We learn that Pope John Paul II even visited the individual that attempted to take his life. Pope John Paul II visited the individual in prison in Moscow. We learn that Pope John Paul II forgave the individual and described the power of forgiveness, genuine empathy, and preaching King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. We learn that Pope John Paul II was able to persevere describing that there is no need for negative emotions describing hate, envy, resentments, and bitterness. 

"Responsibility and responsible love creates set apart men and women-true Christians- to whom the future of the world ultimately belongs."

Pope John Paul II kept preaching even after the assassination attempt, and we learned that the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s. We learn that while there are multiple reasons describing why the Soviet Union collapsed, one of the main reasons included the positive example of Pope John Paul II being able to preach the filial love and genuine empathy of Christianity amidst the bitterness and hate that attempted to prevent Pope John Paul II from preaching. We were able to see that love conquers hate and that GOD Almighty is very active in the lives of human beings that are righteous. We learn that Pope John Paul II was able to keep preaching decades later and describes the importance of having zeal, humility, responsibility, and most important of all fidelity to GOD Almighty.

Pope John Paul II Described the Importance of Prayer

"In prayer, then, the true protagonist is GOD. The protagonist is Christ, who constantly frees creation from slavery to corruption and leads it towards autonomy..."- (page 17)

Pope John Paul II described how prayer is one of the most important activities that we can perform in our day to day lives. Prayer allows us to understand that GOD Almighty is greater than ourselves and greater than everything. We can start prayer by worshiping GOD Almighty and acknowledging that GOD Almighty is greater than ourselves.

We learn to acknowledge the importance of GOD Almighty in our lives. Prayer is essentially a conversation with GOD Almighty where we describe our perspective through the circumstances and times we are going through. We learn that Moses, Elijah, and David prayed to GOD Almighty. GOD Almighty listened to their prayer. GOD Almighty listens to our prayers. We can worship GOD Almighty and also request perseverance and resiliency to endure the times that we are living in. 

Persevering With Prayer

"It [prayer] is a cry for the victory of good even through evil, through suffering, through every wrong and human injustice."

John Paul II described that prayer is needed in the day to day life of a Christian. Despite the injustices and opposition that Christians have gone through, we know that GOD Almighty is helping us persevere through affliction and adversity. Life is not perfect and there is affliction and adversity at times, yet going to prayer everyday allows us to trust in GOD Almighty. We learn that going to prayer allows GOD Almighty to act in our lives. We allow GOD Almighty to work in us when we go to prayer every day.

We learn that GOD Almighty is present in our day to day lives when we go to prayer. We acknowledge that while we may not know everything, we trust in GOD Almighty who does know everything. John Paul II described how prayer is acknowledging that good is greater than evil. It is acknowledging that good conquers evil. This is even through suffering, adversity, difficulties, and persecution. Even when there is evil and injustices in the world, it is possible to persevere with integrity and goodness. That is the important point in life being able to persevere worshiping GOD Almighty and not being misled into the path of destruction. We can keep practicing goodness despite the negativity and hate. David persisted with prayer and kept to the path of life. We can persist going to prayer and keeping integrity despite the evil in the world. John Paul II showed us this when he did not harbor evil or resentment to the individual that shot him and instead went to prayer and forgave. John Paul II worshiped GOD Almighty instead.

Human Dignity

"We begin to pray, believing that it is our own initiative that compels us to do so. Instead, we learn that it is always GOD's initiative within us, just as Saint Paul has written. This initiative restores in us our true humanity; it restores in us our unique dignity. Yes, we are brought into the higher dignity of the children of GOD, the children of GOD who are the hope of all creation."- (page 17)

Pope John Paul II described how prayer is important in order to persevere acknowledging the dignity and humanity of each human person. We learn that the snake wants individuals to hate others without reason. The snake tries to prevent individuals from realizing the importance of human dignity. This dismissal of human dignity is something that post-modernism has attempted to portray as "cool", "interesting", and "popular" in socialist series and movies. Instead it is actually important to go to prayer to understand that GOD Almighty is greater than everything and that human beings are made in the image of GOD Almighty. Each human being is important according to the worship of GOD Almighty. The accuser hates this understanding because it wants individuals to hate others without reason. The accuser wants idolators to murder others seen in Hitler's nazi socialist germany (6 million Jewish individuals murdered including Christian Germans and Jewish Germans), Stalin's soviet socialism (66 million individuals murdered from different soviet countries), and jihadi islam's terrorism (1.5 million from Armenian genocide and other attacks). We can see the actual negativity of failed false doctrines that want hate and envy between human beings. 

Instead of envying or hating others like socialism states, we are supposed to persist with fidelity to GOD Almighty and empathy towards human beings. We can see humanity and human dignity being important. This describes how Christianity is very different from socialism and occultism. GOD Almighty describes since the writings of Moses that essentially the worship of GOD Almighty includes having empathy for others. This means that we must fight against socialism and envy that try to treat human beings as objects seen in misogyny and misandry and also false doctrines that want individuals to quarrel and fight amongst themselves seen in jihadi islam, marxism, and racism. GOD Almighty created us to live in harmony with one another instead of hating one another. If there is hate and envy from individuals, then they are not Christian, and we must avoid them. Every human being has the potential to be a child of GOD, yet it is up to each individual to choose the worship of GOD Almighty or not. GOD Almighty does not force anyone to worship by force which is different from other false religions.

Pope John Paul II Described the Importance of Worshiping GOD Almighty and Pacifism

"Buddhism is in large measure an 'atheistic' system. We do not free ourselves from evil through the good that comes from GOD; we liberate ourselves only through detachment from the world, which is bad. The fullness of such detachment is not union with GOD, but what is called nirvana, a state of perfect indifference with regard to the world."

Pope John Paul II described how Buddhism is atheistic because it does not accept the existance of GOD Almighty nor the need to worship the true GOD of gods. Buddhism does not acknowledge the existance of the Creator and LORD of everything, GOD Almighty. Buddhism states that individuals can free themselves and attain enlightenment without GOD Almighty even though GOD Almighty is the source of wisdom and understanding. Buddhism states that the worship of GOD Almighty is not needed and that instead detachment from the world allows for improvement. 

Pope John Paul II described that we do need GOD Almighty to improve and that we free ourselves from evil by worshiping GOD Almighty. We learn that we need GOD Almighty to persevere with righteousness and be pure. We can repudiate self righteousness and wickedness. Without GOD Almighty, there is the false perception that an individual by themselves can attain enlightenment. We learn to persist acknowledging that insight and wisdom are from GOD Almighty. Pope John Paul II kept to his belief in King Jesus Christ while still being a pacifist. Democracy describes how there can be disagreements while still believing in pacifism. (Something that socialism does not understand.)

Pope John Paul II described how Buddhism describes the importance of not coveting yet does not acknowledge that there is a Creator that created the Heavens and the earth and cares about us. While pacifist Buddhism speaks out against envying and coveting, it does not recognize that GOD Almighty exists. We learn that GOD Almighty's creation of the Heavens, the planets, the earth, the sun, moon, and stars, oceans, mountains, and rivers describe that GOD Almighty is aware of everything and creates order in his creation. 

Pacifist Buddhism acknowledges the need to avoid envy and coveting yet does not recognize GOD Almighty being Creator and LORD of all. Hinduist Buddhism is idolatrous and even attempts to lead to illicit drug use. In university, there was a Hinduist Buddhist who was handing out Hinduist Buddhism propaganda, and I noticed that the book was quite lengthy and had idols in the cover of the book. I denied having a copy of the book since I knew that there is idolatrous Hinduist Buddhism that instructs idol worship that is very similar to Hinduism. (Buddhism offers greater autonomy than Hinduism due to the caste system. Many individuals in India and Southeast Asia prefer Buddhism to Hinduism because Hinduism attempts to cause inequality through caste systems. Christianity has also increased tremendously over the past centuries seeing how individuals obtain eternal salvation and true autonomy.) While pacifist Buddhism does not offer eternal salvation, it does instruct the need to not covet and practice pacifism. Pope John Paul II was able to keep fidelity to King Jesus Christ while preaching pacifism and serenity among individuals of other religions. Even Buddhist monks respected and admired Pope John Paul II for preaching harmony. This is because Christianity gives autonomy to individuals to decide if they want to accept King Jesus Christ or not. Christianity does not force anyone to worship by force. Eternal salvation in King Jesus Christ is most important. Yet when comparing Buddhism, Pacifist Buddhism is better than Hinduist Buddhism.

Pope John Paul II Described How the Tao Instructs Morality

"They are systems of worship [Confucianism and Taoism] and also ethical systems, with a strong emphasis of good and evil. Tao means eternal truth-something similar to the "Word"-which is reflected in the actions of man by means of truth and moral good. The religions of the Far East contributed greatly to the history of morality and culture, forming a national identity in the Chinese, Indians, Japanese, and Tibetans, and also in the peoples of Southeast Asia and the archipelagoes of the Pacific Ocean."

The Tao is a philosophy that describes the importance of pacifism and morality. The Tao describes that individuals should live in harmony with others instead of causing conflict. The Tao was important in specific regions of China and Asia because of its instruction of morality. The Tao describes that there is good and evil and that individuals should strive to be good. Evil should be disdained and avoided. The Tao allowed individuals to understand the importance of goodness and empathy. It is possible that Taoists became Christians seeing that Tao pacifism and morality is supplementary to Christianity. The Tao taught goodness and ethics. 

It is noted that Christianity instructs us to be ethical and avoid iniquity. Christianity also tells us to practice pacifism and empathy. We choose to obey GOD Almighty yet there are philosophies that can be supplementary to Christianity. Stoicism preaches removal of negative emotions such as anger and envy. Pacifist Buddhism preaches the need to avoid materialism and coveting. We can choose to persevere practicing empathy and seeing the good in life. We can avoid idolatry. We should avoid negativity, negative emotions, conflict, unnecessary quarreling, division, hate, anger, envy, and iniquity that is the source of unhappiness and difficulties on earth. Idol worship is what causes unhappiness and difficulties on earth. That is why we worship GOD Almighty. While we prefer Christianity over everything, we can see that there are pacifist religions and philosophies that do not preach envy and malice seen in socialism. 

"Christ came into the world for all these peoples. He redeemed them all and has His own manner of reaching each of them in the present eschatological phase of salvation history. In fact, in those regions, many accept Him and many more have an implicit faith in Him (Hebrews 11:6)."

Pope John Paul II Rebuked Gnosticism and New Age False Doctrines

"A separate issue is the return of ancient gnostic ideas under the guise of the so-called New Age. [Gnosticism]... taking the shape of a philosophical movement... in distinct, if not declared, conflict with all that is essentially Christian."- (page 90)

Pope John Paul II rebuked false doctrines in the past century and throughout his preaching. Pope John Paul II rebuked the false doctrine of Gnosticism that is false "knowledge" that appears to be real knowledge and wisdom. Gnosticism states that "a god" exists but denies King Jesus Christ, Scripture, obedience to the commandments, and truth. Gnosticism is a heresy that is incompatible with true Christianity. The false belief attempts to discourage from the real faith deceiving individuals into thinking that paganism and lies are truth. Pope John Paul II described that Scripture tells the truth and false doctrines like Gnosticism and New Age should be avoided and rebuked. 

The New Age false belief looks to deceive individuals into thinking that they are gods and is idolatry (similar to Hinduist Buddhism). New Age was promoted since the 1950s but gained popularity with socialist idolators in the 60s and 70s. New Age preached "peace and love" while fomenting hate, anger, division, sin permissiveness, and fornication. New Age is essentially the religion of the hippies and beats repackaged through deceit into making people think that it is "pacifism". New Age is self worship and leads to hostilities, envy, homosexuality, illicit drug use, slothfulness, narcissism, deceit, and hate. New Age says that there is no need to worship GOD Almighty and instead there is the need for self worship. That is idolatry. The practice of idolatry does not lead to pacifism nor living in harmony with others. Idolatry leads to bitterness and persecution of the righteous. New Agers work for the snake also.

Pope John Paul II Described That the Worship of GOD Almighty Allows Us to Free Ourselves From the Chains of Sin and Idol Worship

“Original sin attempts, then, to abolish fatherhood, destroying its light which permeate the created world, placing in doubt the truth about GOD who is Love and leaving man only with a sense of the master-slave relationship.”- (page 228)

Pope John Paul II described how the truth of Scripture describing the importance of worshiping GOD Almighty above everything allows us to be freed from the temporary lies of the snake. We learn that the snake attempts to tempt to the practice of sin and vices while promising “freedom” and “autonomy”. This is with the intention to lead to captivity and darkness. We learn that the snake states blatant lies that GOD Almighty is authoritarian and arbitrary. We know that we can guard our heart and mind against such lies because we know that GOD Almighty is not authoritarian nor arbitrary. Pope John Paul II described how the snake wants individuals to think that instead of the relationship with GOD Almighty being that between a Loving Father and a child, it is that of a master and slave. This is an obvious lie that speaks about the projections of the snake.

We are able to free ourselves from the temporary lies of evil by choosing to persevere in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that the snake tells lies seen in the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Job, and Paul. We learn that if the snake is talking it is telling temporary lies. We learn that Pope John Paul II describes that the fear of the LORD allows us to persevere with true freedom and autonomy that prevents us from practicing sin and vices. We learn that the practice of sin and idol worship leads to the shackles of vices that lead to difficulties, negative emotions, and the destruction of the unrepentant wicked. We learn that Pope John Paul II spoke truth about how we can free ourselves and persevere being freed of fear, envy, anger, and coveting by choosing to worship GOD Almighty. 

Filial Love in King Jesus Christ

"Man is set free through love, because love is the source par excellence of all that is good.”- (page 226)

We learn from Pope John Paul II that we are able to persevere being freed from the fear of death and of evil by choosing to worship GOD Almighty. We choose to worship GOD Almighty and fear the King of kings, King Jesus Christ. We learn that King Jesus Christ has the keys of death and hades and decides the fate of individuals in this life and in the next. For this reason, we can persevere with courage and boldness preaching King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. We learn that the fear of GOD Almighty sets us free from the fear of death. We learn that King Jesus Christ has eternal authority.

We learn that love conquers hate and is able to help us persevere. King Jesus Christ is the infinite and eternal love of GOD Almighty for humanity allowing us to have eternal salvation and also love. We learn that the things of the world want there to be hate and lust instead of love. We learn that perfect love casts out all fear meaning that there is no fear in the love of King Jesus Christ. We learn that Pope John Paul II helped us know that if we live our lives in the worship of King Jesus Christ, we are set free from fear. We can avoid false apostles and false prophets who want to lead to captivity, darkness, and fear through hate and lust.

The Right to Life

"For man, the right to life is the fundamental right. And yet, part of contemporary culture has wanted to deny that right, turning it into an "uncomfortable" right, one that has to be defended. But there is no other right that so closely affects the very existence of the person! The right to live means the right to be born and then persevere to live..."- Crossing the Threshold of Hope (page 204-205)

Pope John Paul II described the importance of fighting for the right of human life. We learn that Pope John Paul II fought for the rights of newborns and the importance of obeying the commandments. We learn that the socialists and communists opposed Pope John Paul II attempting to prevent him from preaching in the universities of Poland. Pope John Paul II also described that the media attempted to argue against pro-life arguments with the intention to lead to the use of abortions in cases of unwanted pregnancies in the 1980s. We learn that Pope John Paul II fought against these irresponsible and foolish arguments that attempted to lead individuals to think that abortions are an option. Pope John Paul II fought against abortions and the killing of innocent unborn human life. 

"The question of conceived and unborn children is a particularly delicate yet clear problem. The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obssession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience-the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being. Often the question is presented as a women's right to free choice regarding the life already existing inside her, that she carries in her womb: the woman should have the right to choose between giving life or taking it away from the unborn child. Anyone can see that the alternative here is only apparent. It is not possible to speak of the right to choose when a clear moral evil is involved, when what is at stake is the commandment Do not kill!"- (page 205)

Pope John Paul II did not waver in his commitment to speak truth and is one of the reasons why the socialists and communists did not like Pope John Paul II. We learn that Pope John Paul II kept preaching and writing truth that led to individuals learning about the filial love and genuine empathy that exists in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that Christianity describes the importance of human life and that each individual has the right to live based on the commandments of Moses. We learn that the socialists kept attempting to persecute Pope John Paul II and when they could not prevent him from preaching, they attempted to assassinate him. Yet, he was able to persevere preaching, writing, and worshiping GOD Almighty recuperating from the gun shot wound of a socialist. Pope John Paul II did not become resentful or discouraged and instead persevered with high courage and unbreakable valor.  

Guarding Human Rights and Fighting Against Disinformation and Deceit

"What are the human rights? It is evident that these rights were inscribed by the Creator in the order of creation, so we can not speak of concessions on the part of human institutions, on the part of states and international organizations. The Gospel is the fullest confirmation of all of human rights. Without it we can easily find ourselves be far from the truth about man."- (page 197)

We are able to understand that socialism and communism does not offer much to individuals seeing the manner that socialists and communists could not stand the reality of Pope John Paul II preaching truth, logic, wisdom, and filial love. We learn that he fought for the life of the unborn and even went through persecution for his faith. This allows us to understand why we can not be a part of evil, tyranny, and deceit that attempts to prevent individuals from seeing the beauty and wonders that GOD Almighty is able to accomplish. We learn that Pope John Paul II was able to help individuals realize that GOD Almighty is a loving Father who cares about humanity. We learn that GOD Almighty wants to help us persevere and that we can not believe the temporary lies of the snake that want to cause negative emotions and resentment to lead to disobedience. 

"The Redeemer confirms human rights simply by restoring the fullness of the dignity man received when GOD created him in His image and likeness."- (page 197)

In the 1990s and 2000s after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were also preachers and pastors that described how they attempted to preach in churches and how there was opposition. Despite the opposition, preachers described that they would be able to preach in churches in Russia and different nations that were formerly of the Soviet Union, and described how GOD Almighty allowed them to persevere speaking truth amidst hate and envy from false apostles and idolators that did not want preachers to speak truth. We learn that Pope John Paul II gave us an important example of how we can persevere with bravery and courage despite opposition, persecution, and envy.

Pope John Paul II Described That Christianity Allows Civilization to Improve and Exist

"Western civilization which is marked by a positive approach to the world, and which developed thanks to the achievements of science and technology, two branches of knowledge rooted both in the ancient Greek philosophical tradition and in Judeo-Christian revelation. The truth about GOD the Creator of the world and about Christ the Redeemer is a powerful force which inspires a positive attitude toward creation and provides a constant impetus for its transformation and perfection."

Pope John Paul II described how civiliation exists due to the genuine empathy that exists in Christianity. We learn that GOD Almighty is the source of wisdom and who allows us to improve ourselves in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that not only individuals improve but cities and nations can improve in the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that schools and churches caused civilization to exist in countries that practiced Christianity (Idolatry hates that people can receive an education and keep learning throughout their lives. Idolatry also hates that individuals can keep fidelity to GOD Almighty and practice genuine empathy instead of envying others and causing strife.) When Christianity was preached in the New World in the late 1400s and early 1500s, individuals and nations improved since they were freed from the caste system that idolatry tries to impose. There were Native Americans who converted to Christianity accepting King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior, helped build schools and churches, and avoided the idolatry caste system.

"The world which the Christians believe has been created and is sustained by the Creator's love, a world enslaved by sin but liberated by the crucified and Resurrected Christ in order to defeat evil, and destined, according to the divine plan, to be transformed and to reach its fulfillment." (page 89)

In the U.S. Pilgrims fled persecution in England and were also persecuted by hostile Native Americans. The first settlement in Jamestown was destroyed and burned down. It is probable that hostile warring Native Americans who did peyote attacked non-hostile settlers. This did not prevent Pilgrims and Puritans from building additional settlements, practicing their faith, and showing empathy to Native Americans. (Not all Native American tribes were hostile, but there were hostile Native American tribes. There were probably a few tribes that were not hostile described in helpful Native Americans like Sacagewea and her tribe who helped Lewis and Clark in an expedition. However, other tribes may have envied and even attacked peaceful settlers.) Socialists lie saying all Native Americans were peaceful when that is a blatant lie. Socialists also say that all Christians were hostile which is also a blatant lie. Socialists envy that Christianity was preached to the New World, allowed improvements to individuals that converted to Christianity, and the caste system was removed from the New World. Churches, schools, and autonomy improved individual's lives. Christianity improves everyone who worships GOD Almighty with sincerity of heart while idol worship attempts to decrease, stagnate, and enslave individuals and nations that practice grave sin.

Logic and Reason Confirm the Existence of GOD Almighty and Refutes Atheism and Nihilism

"The visible world, in and of itself, can not offer a scientific basis for an atheistic interpretation of reality. Instead, honest reflection does find sufficient elements in the world to arrive at the knowledge of GOD. In this sense the atheistic interpretation of reality is one-sided and tendentious."- (page 198)

Pope John Paul II described that he was able to speak with scientists and professors about the manner that we can understand that GOD Almighty exists. We learn that this wisdom prevents us from believing in false philosophies of hate and lust describing atheism and nihilism that socialism and communism derive from. We learn that Pope John Paul II was able to preach about the manner that atheism does not make much sense from a point of view with logic and reason. We learn that Pope John Paul II described that atheism could not be argued for since there is logical reason and order that confirms the existence and absolute sovereign authority of GOD Almighty. 

"I still remember those discussions. I also participated in many meetings with scientists, in particular with physicists, who, after Einstein, were quite open to a theistic interpretation of the world."- (page 199)

Pope John Paul II described that atheism is very one sided because there is no logic, reasoning, order, or filial love. There is arbitrariness and authoritarianism seen in the past regimes of socialism and communism that have never worked. We learn that we can persevere acknowledging the importance of logic, reasoning, truth, and order that exists. We learn that the creation of the world and the world has order. We know that GOD Almighty has established the order of creation concerning the earth seeing the sun, moon, stars, rivers, oceans, weather, seasons, and even with the planets and the universe. We learn that GOD Almighty established order in creation that allows us to acknowledge with learning and studying science that GOD Almighty is in absolute, infinite, and eternal authority over everything. 

Pope John Paul II Described the Manner that the Fall of the Soviet Union Describes How GOD Almighty is Present in the Lives of Individuals

"By your question you confirm that in the fall of communism the action of GOD has been almost visible in the history of our country." (page 130)

In the 1990's, the Soviet Union collapsed. Pope John Paul II described that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, we were able to see the action of GOD Almighty in the lives of individuals. We learn that Pope John Paul II was important in the faltering of the Soviet Union because of his preaching. We learn that GOD Almighty is very present in the lives of Christians seeing the manner that nazi socialism only lasted thirty years and Soviet socialism only lasted seventy years. While it appeared that socialism was going to lead to difficulties in the 1940s with Hitler, the Allied Forces attacked and destroyed the persecution that the nazi socialists were engaging in. During the 1960-1990s with the Soviet Union, we learned that many nations from the Soviet Union decided to renounce socialism and communism for Christianity and capitalism. We learn that evil attempts to say that GOD Almighty is not present in the lives of individuals, yet with the fall of the Soviet Union, we can acknowledge the power of GOD Almighty. We learn that even the nazi socialists hated the Soviet socialists and the Soviet socialists hated the nazi socialists seen in how Hitler attacked Stalin during Russian winter. We also saw how socialism and communism are not viable forms of governance because it is based on envy and hate. We learn that Pope John Paul II was able to help us acknowledge the power of filial love and genuine empathy. In the 1990s, the Soviet Union faltered and became new nations that embraced Christianity and capitalism. The newer nations decided to renounce the temporary lies and deceit of socialism and communism. 

"In fact, it was Leo XIII who in a certain sense predicted the fall of communism, a fall that would cost humanity and Europe dearly, since the medicine- he wrote in his encyclical of 1891- could prove more deadly than the disease itself." (page 131)

Pope John Paul II described that the supposed solution of socialism was actually worse than the disease. We learn that Pope Leo XIII predicted the fall of communism in the year 1891. While socialism and communism attempt to appear to be a solution to the injustices of hate and envy, it is actually the source of the hate and envy. We learn that idolatry is the source of difficulties, envy, and coveting. We learned from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn about the injustices that occured in Soviet Russia due to the envy and hate of Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin, and their sycophantic "comrades" who professed the religion of envy and hate: socialism. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described the gulag system and the false accusations that led to loyal citizens and soldiers being sent to gulag for essentially being rational, civil, and truthful. We learned about a business owner who was arrested and sent to gulag for failing to keep applauding Stalin for more than ten minutes. The interrogator gave the business owner the suggestion and life advice to "never be the first to stop applauding." This describes the tyranny and totalitarianism that exists in socialism and communism and why we should keep persevering worshiping the true GOD of gods, GOD Almighty. While socialism and communism state that they are attempting to produce utopias, we know that the reality is very different. The supposed "utopias" without GOD Almighty end up being totalitarian stagnated dystopias. 

Pope John Paul II Preached Genuine Empathy

Pope John Paul II was respected and cherished by Catholics, Protestants, and Christian believers alike. Pope John Paul II was sincere and preached filial love and genuine empathy. This was seen in how he cared about individuals and was not fake. Believers saw that and admired Pope John Paul II for his honesty and commitment to true fraternity. Even Evangelicals respected and admired Pope John Paul II for preaching sound doctrine and fighting against socialism. It is noted that not only Christians admired Pope John Paul II but also individuals from other beliefs for being an example of genuine empathy. While Pope John Paul II did not lie and stated that King Jesus Christ is the only manner to obtain salvation, he was not hostile and hypocritical. While only King Jesus Christ allows us to have eternal salvation, GOD Almighty gives individuals autonomy to decide if they want to believe in King Jesus Christ or not. 

Pope John Paul II still sought harmony and serenity between individuals without compromising his faith in King Jesus Christ. Everyone respected Pope John Paul II. The only individuals that disdained Pope John Paul II were the socialists because individuals were believing in King Jesus Christ with fervor. The socialists envied and slandered Pope John Paul II for being righteous, faithful, zealous, and humble. Despite persecution, Pope John Paul II did not falter nor fear and kept preaching truth. Pope John Paul II also traveled often to Mexico where he was cherished for being humble and honest. Being both Polish and Jewish, Pope John Paul II described the need to persevere with goodness and remove hate and racism. Pope John Paul II rebuked socialism in all its forms. He described the need for empathy and unity between Catholics and Jewish individuals in the 1980s. (Although in the times that we are living in, there are fake catholics and fake jewish individuals who are actually socialists. We can practice healthy skepticism.) When Pope John Paul II was asked for an interview and was not able to make the interview, he told the journalist to write questions that he had about the faith. While being Pope and having multiple commitments, Pope John Paul II wrote back to the journalist. The book Crossing the Threshold of Hope were the answers that Pope John Paul II wrote describing that he cared about helping others increase their faith. Everyone from the grandparents generation to the younger generations appreciated Pope John Paul II. Only the socialists despised such a great example of filial love and genuine empathy. We can remind ourselves of positive examples that proclaimed King Jesus Christ with their words and their actions. We can also avoid socialists.

Figures of History and Individualism allows us to persevere knowing that throughout history there have been righteous individuals that decided to practice good and not practice sin. We are able to persevere knowing that there is no need to fear nor have negative emotions knowing that we trust in the Creator and not in idolatry. We are able to learn about righteous individuals that decided to speak truth and help others even when there are lies being told that attempt to lead individuals to disobedience and the practice of sin. We can persevere without practicing sin and idol worship.

Noah Webster

 Noah Webster

Noah Webster was the creator of the dictionary in 1783. Webster was able to compile close to 70,000 words from the Bible into the dictionary. Webster took 25 years to complete his dictionary working each day. Webster would create a book that would catalogue words alphabetically. 

Webster describes how discipline and patience can help in persevering. This describes how keeping discipline and dedication can help us persist. Webster created a dictionary that was able to help organize the words of the English language and make learning words easy based on common usage. 

The dictionary in the year 1783 sold more than 80 million copies and became one of the most requested books after the Scriptures. Webster would keep working on his American Dictionary and included a brief history of the world. There have been different iterations of the dictionary based of the Webster's dictionary. 

Webster instructs the importance of being disciplined and making the most of time and resources. Webster's perseverance describes how an individual can mind his own life and keep being industrious. While post modernism and socialism have attempted to decrease privacy and industriousness, we can keep being industrious and keep being dilligent. While socialism hates discipline and self improvement by industrious individuals, it is possible to persevere with motivation similar to Webster. Despite the not so good times that we live in due to socialism and non-compete, we can have gratitude for having the opportunity to keep learning and acknowledging the importance of GOD Almighty and virtues. (Meanwhile socialism has attempted to remove words similar to 1984's antagonistic socialists in order to limit freedom of expression, speech, and truth. Words like individualism, truth, righteousness, and privacy are offensive to socialists. The worst words in the dictionary are probably non-compete clause created by the accuser to prevent merit based competion in jobs, sports, education, and even day trading. And even if there is no non compete clause, the accuser may still prevent individuals from competing due to slander, envy, deceit, sabotage, and underhanded tactics. Not the best of times.) 

 Changes to the Dictionary in the Book 1984

The book 1984 describes how the socialists attempted to prevent the usage of certain words by changing the words in the dictionary and eliminating words that are deemed offensive by socialists. We learn that a certain individual who is a socialist is in charge of creating new words and removing offensive words. This occurs while it is said that the 1984 dictionary had remained the same throughout the years. 

The individual in charge of the dictionary is destroyed by the socialists in 1984 describing how socialists envy socialists. The individual is vaporized after having obeyed the socialists describing how socialism is not beneficial. One of the tasks of the individual was removing positive sounding words which was probably with the intention to discourage positivity and encouragement. We have seen in the past decades how negative words have been attempted to be popularized and positive words have been deemed nerdy, annoying, or archaic by socialists. "Evil" has been equated as a complement or seen positively (by socialists) while "good" has been equated with boring. All of this has been done to popularize sin and negativity. Despite the times that we live in where even words have turned negative and discouraging, we can choose positivity and encouraging words. We learn from Scripture that in the end times socialists would attempt to change the perception of evil. Good would be deemed "evil" and evil "good". This is one of the deceptions of the snake. The snake hates encouragement, positivity, kindness, and goodness that stems from GOD Almighty. This is because GOD Almighty is the source of all goodness. This describes how the snake rebels against goodness. This is why Christianity is hated by socialists. This describes why there is still gangstalking. This describes why there is negativity against positivity. Despite the envy, GOD Almighty helps us persist speaking positivity and encouragement.

Motivational Quotes, Encouragement, and Practicing Gratitude

 Motivational Quotes, Encouragement, and Practicing Gratitude

Developing Self-Discipline

"Habits that took years to build do not take a day to change."

Developing perseverence and self-discipline allows us to be persistent and positive. Positive habits prevents us from having vices. Being diligent and self-disciplined allows us to be industrious. We can use our time for good and not waste it by being slothful and lazy.

Persevering With Goodness

"The Gospel teaches us to call good and evil by name, but it also teaches, 'Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.'"

Pope John Paul II described how we are supposed to remove negative emotions such as hate and envy from our lives. We conquer evil with good and speaking truth to the temporary lies of the snake.

The Importance of Optimism

"I have tried in my time to be a philosopher, but cheerfulness always kept breaking in."

This quote from Oliver Edwards describes how there is a need to be an optimist and persevere with happiness. We know that socialism tries to make the world into a worse place while gratitude and positivity allows us to persist. There are false philosophies of disbelief like nihilism and atheism that were created by idolators to diminish optimism. We can avoid false philosophies that want to lead to socialism like atheism and nihilism. 

Persevering With Motivation and Avoiding False Philosophies of Nihilism

"Confounding the dignity of man with mere usefulness arises from a conceptual confusion that in turn may be traced back to the contemporary nihilism."

Viktor E. Frankl described how nihilism attempts to diminish the dignity of a human being. Nihilism does not want individuals to find meaning in life having a purpose. There is no doubt that idolators created the false philosophy of nihilism to diminish the optimism of individuals. Nihilism states that everything is meaningless when in fact there is meaning and purpose in life when we decide to worship GOD Almighty above everything. It is possible that nihilism and atheism was created by idolatrous socialists.

The Importance of Happiness

"Happiness cannot be pursued but it must ensue."

We learn that Viktor E. Frankl described that we do not have to pursue happiness and instead are happy when we realize that our life has meaning and purpose. Acknowledging that we can persevere with gratitude and meaning allows us to persist with happiness and motivation. We learn that we have intrinsic value that provides happiness that does not require extrinsic things.

The Importance of Integrity

"To practice good is noble. To teach others to practice good is even nobler."

Mark Twain has a saying about the importance of practicing integrity. Twain described that it is necessary to practice goodness and integrity and also to teach the importance of practicing integrity. This quote does not mean that instructing the practice of integrity is greater than practing integrity. It means that we need to practice integrity and also teach the importance of integrity to others. This prevents hypocrisy. Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer which described the importance of humility and integrity. 

The Importance of Optimism

"In other words, what matters is to make the best of any given situation."

Viktor E. Frankl described that there is the need to keep optimism despite negativity and opposition. Frankl lived his life practicing positivity. We can persevere seeing the positive side of life. We can always be grateful for the good things that we have. Even in the not so good times, we can be grateful to persevere with virtues. We can keep writing and preaching for the worship of GOD Almighty despite envy. Frankl survived to long life for keeping optimism and saw the decline of nazi socialism.

The Importance of Optimism

"And this in turn presupposes the human capacity to creatively turn life's negative aspects into something positive or constructive."- Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl described how it is better to persevere with optimism than to be a pessimist. We learn that optimism is better than negativity. Optimism leads to positivity and keeping a positive demeanor despite opposition, adversity, or persecution. Frankl described how remaining an optimist allowed him to persevere despite persecution from nazi socialists. Frankl memorized the Psalms of David, kept a sense of humor, persisted with integrity and empathy, and was an optimist. Frankl lived to 93 years of age outliving Hitler who took a cyanide pellet and died. 

The Importance of Autonomy

"Man has both potentialities within himself [good and evil]; which one is actualized depends on decisions not on conditions."

Viktor E. Frankl described how we are born with autonomy and can keep persevering with autonomy. While socialism tries to say that genetics or environment are to blame, each individual has autonomy to persevere with integrity and courage. Frankl kept to his ideals and values and outlived Hitler. Frankl never became an informant snitch and also kept empathy despite persecution. Frankl's faith and integrity allowed Frankl to thrive and demonstrate that conditions do not dictate who we are. We are born with autonomy to keep being brave and courageous instead of socialist cowards.

The Importance of Avoiding Negative Information

"Television is as injurious to the soul as fast food is to the body."

This quote by Quentin Crisp (recently found out he was a homosexual and do not agree with that lifestyle yet the quote is good) describes how we should avoid negative and false information. We have seen since the 2010s how television had turned more nihilistic and negative including having negative series. Except for sermons, educative programming, and sports, most television programming was negative. We should avoid false and discouraging information (same applies to Youtube).

Persevering Seeing the Good in Life

"There is not a lot of money in poetry, yet there is not a lot of poetry in money either."

There is a quote that states that in the life of poets there is not much stagflated currency. Yet, we learn that there is not much beauty and positivity in the love of money either. Robert Frost's life describes that it is better to choose positivity than the love of stagflated currency. Robert Frost became one of the best if not the best poet of all time winning four Pulitzer's.

Persevering With Meaning and Purpose

"(In 1962) another statistical survey, of 7,948 students at forty-eight colleges, was conducted by social scientists from Johns Hopkins University. Their preliminary report is part of a two year study sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health. Asked what they considered very important to them now, 16 percent of the students checked 'making a lot of money'; 78 percent said that their first goal was 'finding a purpose and meaning to my life.'"- (page 122)

In the 1960s, students at Johns Hopkins University described that having meaning and purpose was more important to them than money. We learn that the worship of GOD Almighty is greater than the temporary things of the world including money. It has been only in recent decades that idolatry and lies have attempted to make it seem that money is more important to lead to the road of destruction. We can prefer GOD Almighty instead of stagflated currency.

The Importance of Autonomy

"A human being is not one thing among others; things determine each other, but man is ultimately self-determining."- Viktor E. Frankl

Frankl described how each individual is born with autonomy to decide if they want to persevere with bravery and goodness. Frankl described how there were righteous individuals who never became corrupted despite persecution and opposition. There were individuals with integrity who behaved similar to saints while wicked individuals devolved to swine.

Persevering With Bravery

"You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice."- Bob Marley

Bob Marley was a pacifist who was envied and persecuted by socialists. He was creative and industrious. Despite envy, Marley sang about pacifism, genuine empathy, and kindness. Marley also wrote lyrics, sang, played guitar, and led his band (being the musician of the 1990s). Because his music was unique and distinct, he was probably envied. Marley still spoke about the importance of bravery and filial love.

Persevering With Gratitude and Humbleness

"My riches consist not in the extent of my material resources, but in the fewness of my wants."- Quote from PositiveSoup

This quote may have been inspired by Stoicism. We learn that Marcus Aurelius also spoke about the need to eliminate coveting and negative emotions. Marcus Aurelius probably was influenced and inspired by Christianity. We learn that life is more than material resources. We learn that the worship of GOD Almighty and genuine empathy are greater than temporary wealth, false relationships, idol worship, and coveting.

Denying the Illusion of Power

"Ultimate power corrupts ultimately."- George Orwell

George Orwell criticized totalitarianism and fascism seen in socialist dictatorships. We learn that socialist dictatorships have collapsed due to the practice deceit, envy, division, and greed. From Mussolini to Hitler to Stalin, the illusion of "power" has led socialists to create barren dystopias. We learn that power is to be used responsibly along with honesty and other virtues to prevent misuse. Misuse of power is judged by King Jesus Christ. We learn that amazing leaders used their power for good and helped others described in Churchill, Eisenhower, JFK, MLK, Thatcher, Carter, Reagen, and Pope John Paul II.

The Importance of Autonomy and Integrity

 “The final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.” – Anne Marie Frank

Anne Frank described the importance of autonomy and persevering with goodness. Despite temptation and persecution, we can persevere speaking truth and practicing righteousness. Frank similar to Frankl described that an individual can persist with morality despite circumstances, opposition, and persecution.

The Importance of Loving GOD Almighty Above Everything, Genuine Empathy, and Responsibility

[The fear of the LORD] creates people who are led by responsibility, by responsible love. Responsibility and responsible love creates righteous set apart, true Christians, to whom the future of the world ultimately belongs."- Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul II described that loving GOD Almighty above everything creates autonomous and responsible individuals. We learn that with freedom we also need to be responsible to avoid irresponsibility and immaturity seen in socialism and communism that is idolatry. (We can practice empathy while avoiding treacherous rat snake socialists.)

Persevering With Integrity and Values

"There are some authors who contend that meanings and values are 'nothing but defense mechanisms, reaction formations, and sublimations.' But as for myself, I would not be willing to live merely for the sake of my 'defense mechanisms,' nor would I be ready to die merely for the sake of my 'reaction formations'. Man, however, is able to live and even die for the sake of his ideals and values!"- Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl described the importance of having integrity and practicing morality that allows us to persevere through everything. Frankl's integrity and positivity describes that it is better to be ethical than wicked and treacherous. Idolatry hates that individuals are righteous and moral because then they do not want to practice sin and foolishness. Integrity keeps us far away from the path of destruction.

Logotherapy Gives Meaning and Purpose to Persevere Despite Circumstances

"It is one of the basic tenets of logotherapy that man's main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see meaning in his life."- Viktor E. Frankl

Logotherapy is better than Adlerian and Freudian psychology because having meaning  and purpose allows us to persist without being discouraged. When the there is no longer continous momentary pleasure (Freudian psychology) in life, is life still worth living? When there is no longer temporary power (Adlerian psychology), is life still worth living? Yet in the worship of GOD Almighty life is always worth living because GOD Almighty is greater than momentary pleasure and the illusion of power.

Logotherapy Tells Us to Persevere Being Optimistic and Industrious

"Logotherapy, keeping in mind the essential transitoriness of human existence, is not pessimistic but rather activistic."- Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl told us that despite the transitoriness of life, we can avoid having negative emotions by having gratitude. Even when there are changes in life such as transitions, we can persevere being proactive and industrious. Frankl persevered when he could not practice medicine by writing and encouraging others. Solzhenytsin was envied and could not keep being a soldier, yet wrote and converted to Christianity. Gregory Grigoriev was sent to gulag yet never became an informant and denied temptations to sin in order to have soft jobs. Grigoriev grew younger with age never becoming a socialist. Kozyrev learned physics and astronomy by memorizing a book in two days to keep working on and innovating the field of astrophysics while he was envied.We can always be proactive and industrious even during non-optimal times.

Persevering With Meaning and Purpose

"Man's search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life and not a 'secondary rationalization' of instinctual drives."- Viktor E. Frankl

We are created by GOD Almighty to worship GOD Almighty for all eternity in the New Earth and New Jerusalem. We are created with eternal meaning and purpose. This understanding allows us to avoid temporary lies from idolatry that says that pleasure (Freudian psychology) or power (Adlerian psychology) are to be prioritized.

The Importance of Autonomy and Freedom

"As for others, I do not know what course they will take, but for me give me liberty or give me death."- Patrick Henry

Patrick Henry was an American who fought against tyranny. While individuals in 1776 were divided on whether they should keep abiding with totalitarian British mandates or seek autonomy, Americans decided to be independant from England. Patrick Henry stated this quote in support of the American Revolution. Despite fighting against the super power at that time and also treacherous snakes like Benedict Arnold, Americans obtained their liberty. We can keep fighting by preaching truth, worshiping GOD Almighty above everything, and leaving the vengeance to King Jesus Christ.

Persevering With Bravery and Autonomy

"This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave."- Elmer Davis

Despite not living in the best of times, we can persevere with courage and being distinct and unique. We learn that autonomy and freedom are important. We can persist without being socialist cowards who want to restrict sovereignty, freedom of speech, liberty, privacy, bravery, industriousness, and autonomy. 

Persevering With Righteousness and Self-Confidence

"Confidence is not, 'They will like me.' Confidence is, 'I will be fine if they do not.'"

We have seen in history that amazing men and women decided to practice righteousness and never gave in to iniquity. We can persevere acknowledging that GOD Almighty is most important over everything including fake people.

The Importance of Autonomy and Justice

"Free at last, free at last, thank GOD Almighty, we are free at last."- MLK's I have a Dream Speech in the March on Washington

MLK's persistence to fight against bigotry and racism is not only admirable but also impressive. MLK would receive the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting segregation and Jim Crowe laws in the United States in 1964. MLK had gratitude to GOD Almighty for being able to accomplish such great actions and never gave up despite opposition from Hoover, Sullivan, the FBI, and socialist racist cowards.

The Importance of Genuine Empathy

"America did not create human rights, human rights created America."- Jimmy Carter

President Jimmy Carter stated that America did not create human rights and instead human rights created America. The Pilgrims and Puritans fled persecution in England to profess their faith in GOD Almighty. Obeying the commandments of Moses allows us to recognize the importance of genuine empathy. The Civil Rights Movement allowed us to understand that racism, corruption, and envy have no place in civil society.

Gratitude and Happiness

"In this life we are all just walking up the mountain, and we can sing as we climb or we can complain about our sore feet. Whichever we choose, we still have to do the hike. I decided a long time ago, singing made a lot more sense."

This quote describes the importance of positivity and happiness instead of being negative and hateful. We can choose to persevere with gratitude instead of being resentful.

Having Purpose and Meaning

"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."- Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was a humble scientist who despite being gifted in science attributed his renown to being curious and self-didactic. Einstein was persecuted by nazi socialists, yet kept being industrious despite intimidations and envy. Einstein did not care about the fame and instead cared about being self-didactic. Einstein would remain humble despite being one of the greatest scientists and refused to be president of Israel when offered the position. Einstein preferred to keep learning and write about science.

On Cherishing Happiness

"Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."- Henry David Thoreau

Viktor E. Frankl described that happiness is not pursued and instead it must ensue from having meaning and purpose. The worship of GOD Almighty allows us to have eternal meaning and purpose and also true happiness that does not fade. 

Persevering Despite Opposition and Envy

"We shall never surrender."- Winston Spencer Churchill

Winston Churchill galvenized the United States and Europe to fight against the nazi socialists. While there were coward politicians that wanted to capitulate to the nazi socialists, Churchill's bravery mounted a resistance against racism and envy. Churchill did not back down and decided to fight against the persecution of Jewish individuals and false ideologies of envy. Churchill allowed for the United States to make the right choice and fight against totalitarianism and racism. Dwight D. Eisenhower would command the Allied Forces and defeat the racist nazi socialists. Despite the opposition, Churchill's bravery is cherished and remembered for fighting against cowardice and envy. Even when it appeared that the nazi socialists were expanding, Churchill's valor caused socialist nazism to decline after the Second World War. While racism and hate still exists, the power of love and genuine empathy is far greater. The Nuremberg Trials described that racism is not needed in civil society.

Prioritizing the Worship of GOD Almighty and Not Materialism and Coveting

"Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body."- George Carlin

George Carlin was a comedian who began rebelling against discipline and righteousness in the 1950s, yet by the 2000s he had changed his mind and made stand up routines criticizing post-modernism, idolatry, and materialism. Carlin has interesting sayings against coveting and also the manner that post-modernism has attempted to change vocabulary words so that they do not "offend" while in reality it is to limit free speech. Carlin noticed that temporary material wealth is not the source of happiness. Carlin would also criticize post-modernism for its fakeness despite being rebellious and idolatrous in the 1950s. 

Persevering With Gratitude and Maturity

"He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition, youth and age are equally a burden."- Plato

This quote of Plato describes that individuals who are humble and practice gratitude persevere with serenity and happiness. Individuals that have envy and anger do not have serenity and peace. We learn that youth and age can be seen in a positive light without negativity knowing that youth teaches us the importance of correction and learning while age teaches us the value of wisdom and gratitude. 

Seeing Age With Positivity

"Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been."- Mark Twain

While post-modernism attempts to obsess over appearances and remaining youthful with countless cosmetic products and procedures, humility allows us to know that aging is normal. Instead of seeing wrinkles with worry and fear, we learn to appreciate that a human being is able to improve by placing their importance in the worship of GOD Almighty and having meaning and purpose. We learn that a human being can be amazing and beautiful because of the worship of GOD Almighty and practice of genuine empathy. (This needs to be said due to post-modernisms attempts to get individuals to compare themselves to others. 19 year olds do not need cosmetic procedures.)

The Importance of True Happiness

"Remember, you can not hold happiness in your fist. You can only hold happiness in your hand."

There is a quote that reminds us that true happiness happens when we decide to be grateful and authentic instead of resentful and envious. True happiness happens when we dedicate ourselves to something greater than ourselves describing the worship of GOD Almighty. We begin to appreciate the good things that we have instead of envying and coveting other people. True happiness is not fake nor coersed and instead is real and natural. It is not found in materialism, socialism, nor idolatry. 

On Genuineness and Authenticity

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."- Kurt Kobain

While not agreeing with the rock and roll lifestyle, Kurt Kobain described the importance of uniqueness and individuality in this quote. GOD Almighty created 8.2 billion people on the earth and each person is distinct and unique. Instead of fighting and envying over our differences, we can be grateful for being distinct and unique. We can also live in serenity with one another instead of hating and being in conflict for no reason. We do not have to compare ourselves to anyone because we are each distinct. (We also do not have to compare ourselves in comparitive social media based on false metrics and consumerism.)

Choosing Righteousness and Avoiding Wickedness (Idolatry)

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."- Plato

We can persevere deciding to be ethical and moral while denying iniquity and envy. We can choose to doubt the lies of sin and choose to speak truth. We can choose to be brave and good instead of evil and foolish. We can outgrow our fears and choose to be brave instead of being envious cowards who practice hypocrisy and deceit.

Persevering With Genuine Empathy and No Hypocrisy

"The unexamined life is not worth living."-Socrates

We learn that we are meant to improve and keep getting better each day. Each day is a day to learn something new and also be grateful for learning positive life lessons. We are not meant to live a stagnated life hating and envying others.

The Importance of Humbleness and Industriousness 

"Work Hard and Stay Humble"

Being industrious allows us to be motivated and know that we have eternal meaning and purpose in the worship of GOD Almighty. Even with the covid "pandemic" preventing people from working and going to school (based on the need to get an experimental "vaccine"), preaching allows us to stay motivated and industrious speaking truth and writing for the worship of GOD Almighty. Humbleness prevents us from believing the deceit of the snake that wants individuals to be arrogant and envious of others without reason. Industriousness and being humble prevents us from practicing sin and idolatry.

Expressing Gratitude Each Day

Each day we can remind ourselves of the positive and good things that we have. Having gratitude prevents ingratitude from leading to the practice of sin and idolatry.

1. Being able to read and be self-didactic despite opposition against people to be in school and have employment from the stingy, avaricious, and idolatrous socialists. There is a statistic that states that if you are able to read, you should be grateful because about 3 billion people in the world do not know how to read (this statistic was seen in the 2010s despite the advances of technology and supposed improvements in the world).

2. Not being covid "vaccinated"

3. Getting adequate exercise each day

4. Having a nutritious diet

5. Not practicing idol worship 

Persevering Without Resentments and Envy

“When people throw you stones, it is because you are a good tree full of fruits. They see a lot of harvest in you. Do not go down to their level by throwing them back the stones, but throw them your fruits so the seeds of yourself may inspire them to change their ways.”- positive quotes

This quote describes the need to not have resentments and to avoid negative emotions. We have all been reviled, envied, and hated at one point or another for no reason (most likely by idolators). Instead of harboring resentments of the past, we can persevere removing hate, anger, resentments, and bitterness and instead persevere with gladness, gratitude, resiliency, and serenity. This wisdom allows us to remove the burden that is negativity, envy, bitterness, and hate. We can also avoid the practice of idolatry, false prophets, and idolators.

Persevering With Self-Confidence

"Do not be so hard on yourself."

When we practice empathy, we also have to learn to take care of ourselves. We can learn to block out and remove non-constructive criticism and envy that is not needed from narcissists and idolators that have nothing good to offer and only offer lies and negative emotions. Practicing empathy does not mean that we have to listen to discouragements, revilings, and insults. We can choose to avoid narcissists and idolators who want others to be negative and bitter like they are.

Learning to Persevere With Self-Confidence Despite Envy and Discouragements from Idolators

"Not everyone has to like me. I can not force you to have good taste."

When we grow up and mature, we learn that not everyone has to like us, yet we can refuse to be disrespected by idolators who envy. There are idolators who envy and hate everything that is amazing and good. We have seen how idolators and socialists hate and envy amazing individuals from sport athletes like Pele with multiple world cup wins to amazing physicians who cared about their patients like Viktor E. Frankl and the psychiatrist who was dismissed for providing amazing care. We can persevere knowing that while there is envy due to the times that we live in, we can be far apart from slimy, backstabbing, socialist snakes. We can avoid such people who envy because we do not need the negative emotions nor the discouragements of lying hypocrites. 

Persevering Despite Persecution and Envy from Socialists

“One reason that GOD allows individuals to come against you is so that they can see, that even when they give you their worst, GOD still gives you His best.”

We learn from the Sacred Scriptures that impressive and amazing individuals were hated and envied by idolators. We learn to persevere knowing that these times are not so great and that despite the envy, we can persevere worshiping King Jesus Christ. We learn that envy has existed for a long time (about 5,992 or 5,993 years or so that earth has existed) and know that these are not the best of times because there is still envy. Despite not living in the best of times, we can acknowledge the things that we can not do in Shabbath Millennium. We learn that righteous individuals persevered despite envy from the snake and were able to persist to eternal salvation. We learn that despite envy, Paul persevered preaching and obtained eternal salvation despite hindrances, discouragements, and revilings from idolators. We learn that the story of Paul is impressive.

Persevering With Genuine Empathy

“GOD Almighty tells us in Scripture that we are unique. GOD Almighty describes that we are created in the image of GOD Almighty. GOD Almighty tells us that we do not have to compare ourselves to anyone because we are each different, distinct, unique, and incomparable.” (quote from a graphic and still trying to find the source)

We can go to Scripture each day to remind ourselves of the truth. When the opposition tries to discourage, we can persevere reminding ourselves of the truth in Scripture that calls us unique, distinct, important, and cherished by GOD Almighty. If you were slandered, insulted, or envied in the past because of being a Christian, know that it has nothing to do with you. The envy is because the idolators hate everything that is good and amazing. We can remind ourselves of amazing stories of amazing individuals that were not enough for the idolators. We know that Moses was not good enough for the wicked individuals of Korah's rebellion even though he had divided the Red Sea, made water flow from a rock, made bread from heaven, defeated five idolatrous nations, and still taught wisdom. The idolators wanted to go back to Egypt. The midwives Shiprah and Puah did not listen to Pharaoh and decided to guard the children from the envy of Pharaoh. Shiprah was told to sin, and instead decided to trust in GOD Almighty guarding the children. Shiprah obeyed GOD Almighty and was favored instead of listening to the envy of Pharaoh. We know that David was discouraged by his own brothers for having bravery in wanting to fight Goliath and then being envied by Saul for destroying the giant that no one wanted to fight. Paul was supposedly “unimpressive” to the false apostles who wanted to discourage his ministry, and yet he preached despite Pharisees trying to slander him, oppose him, and hinder him from preaching. Paul endured discouragements from Pharisees, false apostles, adultress, and idolators and yet accomplished his purpose of preaching King Jesus Christ Eternal LORD and Savior. You do not have to listen to the lies of the snake that hates how individuals are unique and distinct in the worship of GOD Almighty. You are supposed to listen to the GOD of gods, GOD Almighty.

"In case no one told you today…

You are beautiful. You are loved. You are needed. You are alive for a reason. You are stronger than you think. You are going to get through this. I am glad you are alive. And do not ever give up." (quote from dailyhealthpost)

While we may not be living in the best of times, we need to keep reminding ourselves of the good things of life. We can always go to Scripture to find encouragement and motivation. We can go to prayer to ask GOD Almighty to help us persevere with perseverance and motivation. We can also see positive messages that remind us that we are cared for and cherished by our Creator. We can also avoid discouraging and envious false information of post-modernism (we do not have to believe the temporary lies of the snake that looks to discourage individuals from having empathy and happiness). We are reminded to keep being positive despite the not so good times that we are living in. This is to remind ourselves that we can persevere with courage and motivation knowing that we are meant to live in Shabbath Millennium for a Thousand Years and for all eternity in New Jerusalem. 

“At some point everyone must decide if they are a creator or a critic, a person who loves or a person who hates, a person who gives or a person who takes.” (quote from positivesoup)

We can learn in life that there are only two paths. We learn that we can choose the path of life creating, practicing generosity, genuine empathy, and giving instead of envying, hating without reason, and being narcissistic and selfish. 

Helping People + Talent = Purpose

We learn from the Sacred Scriptures that we are supposed to love GOD Almighty above everything and respect humanity. This wisdom allows us to have purpose and meaning. We learn that we are supposed to worship GOD Almighty with our resources, talents, virtues, and time. We are also supposed to care about humanity and not hate others. We learn about this in the Parable of the Sower and the Parable of the Talents.

Psychologists Have Described the Importance of Wisdom

“The development of this mature form of intelligence [wisdom] is brought about through a set of favorable life influences, including a willingness to learn from experience, interest in the well being of others, training, and mentoring by others.” (page 188 Health Development and Aging from Susan Krauss Whitbourne)

Psychologists have attempted to describe the importance of wisdom. From Scripture, we learn that obeying the commandments of Moses is the beginning of wisdom and the practice of sound judgment. This means that we can make good decisions when we decide to worship GOD Almighty above everything. We learn that psychologists have shown that wisdom is being mature and making sound decisions. Psychologists have described that individuals that choose to listen to and accept constructive criticism or reproof are able to be wise. Psychologists have shown that learning from experience is also important in developing wisdom. This describes that we are supposed to learn life lessons from experiences in life. We learn that we are able to learn lessons from life that prevent us from having ingratitude and envy. We are supposed to also care about others and practice empathy. We are supposed to accept reproof and also instruct wisdom that we may have to others so that they do not practice envy and hate. According to psychologists, wisdom is developed by having empathy and also learning from experiences and reproof. We can choose wisdom instead of envy and irresponsibility

"Humble enough to know that I am not better than anyone, yet wise enough to know that I am different from the rest." (quote from Bruce Lee)

We learn that humility is an important virtue to develop in this life. While in post-modern society, there have been lies told about the need to be arrogant and vain, humility and authenticity are qualities that shine. We learn that Bruce Lee described the importance of humility and authenticity. Humility and authenticity help us persevere with gratitude and happiness.

"Trials are mandatory but misery is optional."

We learn that in life there is persecution, trials, and tribulations, yet we know that we can persevere with happiness instead of discouragement. We learn that despite the discouragements of the snake, we can persevere worshiping GOD Almighty and forsaking idolatry that tries to lead to misery, envy, and coveting.

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." (quote from Albert Einstein)

Albert Einstein was another individual who was humble and described the importance of humility. Albert Einstein described that he had no special talent while being gifted in science. Albert Einstein described that he was curious about learning and that was the reason he excelled at science. We can learn to be self-didactic and keep learning so that we can distinguish true science from pseudo-science.

Avoiding Narcissists and Fighting Narcissism

“People motivate you or they drain you. Choose them wisely.”

This saying states that there are only two kinds of people. There are people that are good, righteous, helpful, and motivate us, and there are also those that are evil, negative, treacherous, and do not motivate us. We can choose to persevere practicing genuine empathy being good instead of deceitful and envious. We can also choose to be far apart from negative narcissists who hate others for no reason. There are negative individuals who actually want others to be angry, hate, and be envious and covetous. We know that those negative emotions drain individuals instead of helping them persevere with positive emotions and gratitude. I have persevered even after having “frienemies” (frienemies are worst than enemies because they are false, pretend to care about you, while they actually hate you. False friends that actually want to know how you are doing so that they can compare themselves and envy even more), yet GOD Almighty has allowed me to be far apart from those types of individuals. Someone who cares about you does not revile you, slander you, or insult you. Someone who genuinely cares about you wants to help and motivate you to be a better person instead of trying to diminish, hurt, and envy you. In these times, we must be careful because there are false prophets that are malignant narcissists that only want to lead to sin, idolatry, and destruction. We can choose to remove such people from our lives. When we do this, we actually feel better without the negativity and the negative emotions that they try to cause. People either motivate you or they drain you. 

"Just because you are a healer, a person who loves, a person who gives, a peacemaker, doesn't mean that you are obligated to heal, love, give, or share your space with everyone. Learn to hold space for yourself so you do not invite the vampires (narcissists) into your sanctuary."

We can persevere avoiding treacherous snakes that do not care about others and are narcissists. People who practice empathy can guard themselves from emotional vampires who want to discourage and cause negative emotions in others. Once we know individuals are narcissists and negative, we can avoid such people. 

“What they hate is their own lack of self-control, so they try to control you. What they despise is your strength. What they hold in utmost contempt is your refusal to be controlled and to accept their lie that it is your fault.” (quote from simplereminders.com (Checked out the site and it seems to no longer be about fighting narcissism and instead is pro-socialism.)

When we persevere in the worship of GOD Almighty, there may be narcissists who attempt to discourage, envy, and oppose the preaching of truth. Prior to preaching, I also dealt with narcissists who attempted to discourage and demotivate me for no reason other than envy. We can learn to be far apart from narcissists who want to discourage others and hate that other individuals can improve and grow in virtues. Narcissists are false and flatter with their mouth while they also envy and hate. These individuals flatter and also revile and hate for no reason. This is because sin leads to stagnation and bitterness. We can separate ourselves from individuals that attempt to discourage us. Instead, we prosper by preaching truth and helping others escape the captivity and darkness that exists in idol worship and sin. (There are also malignant narcissists (false prophets) who do not want to know anything about truth and King Jesus Christ, so we must avoid malignant narcissists who envy for the sake of envying.)

The Ten Truths About Narcissism

1. They know what they are doing.
2. They know they are hurting you.
3. They are doing it on purpose.
4. They can control it (narcissism), just as they do when they are trying to impress someone.
5. They could stop if they wanted to.
6. They do not love you even if they say they do.
7. They are not capable of empathy, compassion, or remorse.
8. You can not change them.
9. They are only capable of manipulation and control.
10. They will not apologize. (quote from a graphic from barbedwire.narcissism from a facebook group. I have not been on facebook for over 9 years and have not checked the source, yet the quote speaks truth about narcissism and narcissists. I have not been on facebook in over 9 years because of psychologist studies that have proven that comparing oneself to others by going to comparitive social media causes decreases of self-esteem, envy, and resentments. Since leaving facebook for 9 years, I feel much better not having to compare myself to anyone knowing that GOD Almighty calls me unique and cared for.)

We can persevere without practicing narcissism and also avoiding false prophets who are narcissists. We can persevere practicing genuine empathy so that we do not practice hate and lust. Narcissism attempts to lead individuals to selfishness and envy that attempts to prevent individuals from having genuine empathy and gratitude. It is most likely that narcissists practice idol worship and explains why they can not practice genuine empathy nor care for others. We can learn to distinguish truth from temporary lies and persevere far apart from known narcissists. The gangstalkers are essentially narcissists and may include individuals from the past who can not get over past resentments. We can acknowledge the need to remove negative emotions and not hate because that is the intention of gangstalking. We can hate evil and that is wisdom. We can persevere being far apart from such individuals that have envy and bitterness due to the practice of idolatry.
