The History of We the People - Part 3

AMERICAN COVENANT

By Walter Giddings

October 24, 2021

Is the Framework of Our Nation a Covenant?

We meet to share Resources in order to change what will happen tomorrow.  Our desire to change what will happen tomorrow is the basis of our Unity.  In our previous lesson, The Birth of America, we asked a question:  How do we know what will work, and what will not work?  Answer? 

History!  History prevents We the People from making the same mistakes twice!  Are we witnessing repeated attempts to corrupt the history of We the People? Are corruptions intended to prevent our knowing what works and what does not work?  Do repeated attempts to corrupt History have “in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States”?

Racial Reconcialition in America

Copied from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

October 17, 2021

Scripture Reading: Psalm 92:9

When Apartheid ended, it was decided to keep December 16th as a public holiday, but to infuse it with the purpose of fostering reconciliation and national unity.  It was established by the government in 1994.  Communist Nelson Mandela was part of the group of politicians that helped start the idea for the holiday. On December 16, 1995, the first celebration took place. The first meeting of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission also took place on December 16, 1995. In an address in 1995, Communist Archbishop Desmond Tutu described the holiday as serving the need of healing the wounds of Apartheid.

In America, the plot was harder to execute.

Faith as a Mustard Seed - Part 1

by Alan Breitenstein

October 10, 2021

Scripture Reading: Matthew 17:20; Luke 17:6

In the last message titled Painting, the Holy Spirit led me to explain what our thoughts should be on and that we should include God in all that we do.  The Holy Spirit had me point out a couple of passages for this message.

Do we have faith the size of a mustard seed? Have we moved mountains?  This message is going to attempt to explain what mountain represents and sycamine tree represents and whether or not we are using our ability to have faith the size of a mustard seed.

R U Woke?

by Pastor Jim Jester

A series of expositional sermons on race from the Old Testament. The purpose is to challenge judeo-Christians to be racially aware.  Sermons from the book of Genesis will be in a number of parts.

Key Biblical References: A survey and sampling of the “R U Woke?" sermon series. This list is not comprehensive; only one reference per book in the Old Testament.

Supplemental Reading:  Children of God  A follow-up from the R U Woke series to identify the phrases the “sons of God” and “sons of men.”

Part 1The First Two Chapters in Genesis  In  this first part of the series: Critical Race Theory, Trinity, Gap Theory, the Second Account  Theory (the insertion of Adam) and other kinds of men. This is foundational to racial awareness in the Bible.

Part 2: Chapter Three of Genesis  This continues the study from Genesis, which introduces the insertion of Satan into the Garden of Eden.

Part 3Chapter Four of Genesis  A continuing expositional study of Genesis. Quote on idioms by Finck.

Part 4:  Chapters 5-9 of Genesis  This section of Genesis will be a “walk-thru” rather than a verse by verse exposition of the text. First mention of Covenant. “Curse of Ham” theory. Today’s news fits in with our racial study of Genesis.

Part 5:  Chapter 12 of Genesis  A review of the curse of Ham theory, thus setting the stage for this section of Genesis. The Abrahamic Covenant. Arranged marriages. Ruling with God. Israel’s enemies.

Part 6Chapter 34 of Genesis  Sometimes God uses the wrath of man to punish the wicked, such as with Dinah; and at other times, He steps in himself, as in the destruction of Sodom.

Part 7Chapter 38 of Genesis  Translation problems and missing information. Judah marries a Canaanite. Judah’s daughter-in-law, Tamar is left to fend for herself. In desperation, she uses her beauty to conceive progeny. History regarding Pharez and Zarah. Lessons of Judah’s history.

Part 8Exodus  The Israelites meet “Yahweh” the mighty warrior. The corporate nation. Division of race and the kingdom of God. The marriage covenant. A challenge to apostate churches.

Part 9:  Numbers  An observation from a Bishop. Nephilim, giants and strangers. Race mixing at Peor. Revenge of the Almighty. The kingdom is sure. Doctrine of Balaam.

Part 10:  Deuteronomy  My comments on the shootings. Historical news on the last Russian Tsar. Should we let the enemy have it all? An examination of the racial context of Deuteronomy.

Part 11:  Racial Context of Joshua / Judges  About Kaliningrad. Joshua’s address. The recurring cycles of history in Judges.

Part 12:  Ruth  The main lesson taught from the book of Ruth is that Jesus Christ is our “kinsman redeemer.” This book proves that Jesus Christ did not die for the whole world. Ruth, a non-Israelite  nationally, proved her Adamic racial heritage and spiritual capacity by the  choice she made, which landed her a position within the royal line of king  David.

Part 13:  Samuel / Kings  Whites are to rule, therefore our enemy wants to kill us. Other races may learn about the kingdom, and even worship the God of Israel, but they will not have the rulership.

Part 14I & II Chronicles Study of the Monarchy. The doctrine of repentance. Arrogance of the U.S.

Part 15:  Ezra - Nehemiah  Period of the Captivities. The corruption of people and languages.

Part 16: Esther The unusual book of Esther. What about Purim? Luther and the jews. What jews admit about judaism. Historical record of the Inter-testamental Period.

Part 17:  Isaiah News article on Russia. Exposition of Isaiah chapter 6. Does Isaiah have a prophecy for America? Series update: it has been a year since I started this study through the Bible on race.

Part 18:  The Psalms  An overview of the book of Psalms on the race issue, or different kinds of men. Comparing the righteous and the wicked — the sons of God and the sons of men.

Part 19The Song of Solomon  This sermon covers Proverbs, the Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes regarding their racial intimations. The difference between sons of men and sons of God.

Part 20:  Jeremiah/Lamentations Racially relevant Scriptures from Jeremiah; bad figs. The throne of Britain.

Part 21:  Ezekiel  The personification of Jerusalem and its comparison to America. News items: Amnesty for Illegals & The Satanic Temple. The parable of Dry Bones and its spiritual application.

Part 22:  Daniel  The Chaldeans recognize the race issue. Two kingdoms. The handwriting on the wall. A short article from the League of the South.

Part 23:  A brief look at the racial context of the 12 minor prophets. This completes the series.

R U Woke? Part 1

The First Two Chapters in Genesis

Sermon notes by Jim Jester

October 3, 2021

Scripture Reading: Psalm 8:1-6

Genesis

Genesis is a book of beginnings. Its title comes from the Greek word meaning “origins,” “birth,” or “existence.” We should note that if you drop the last letters “sis” you have the word “gene” or “genes” (if you drop “is”). Surely, everyone recognizes this word.

Genesis, the first book found in the Bible, is key to everything else contained in the Bible. All Christians regardless of their theological persuasion or personal beliefs should remember this principle. Not to understand this key book is to misunderstand the intent and meaning of the whole Bible.

The Book of Genesis is highly symbolic; therefore, the subject of creation should not be approached from a scientific perspective. We should not read these chapters as chronological, astronomical, geological, or biological statements, but as spiritual, moral, or racial concepts. The Book therefore, is the account of God’s Covenant Creation for it begins a new era with Adam’s insertion into a world of chaos.

Will You Run with the Horses?

What nation of the world was worse that the Canaanite nations that the LORD God of Israel destroyed and let His own covenant people in to take their place?  Who do you think was born during this time?

Copied from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

October 2, 2021

During this time there was a terrific revival of religion.  The reform that the ruler of the land launched cleaned up the country and made the truth of God known and the worship of God popular.  Who could fail to be pleased that the Scripture was once again known and preached?

The most popular preacher of this time was a man of prominence.  When you saw him at the head of the flourishing religious establishment, you could not help feeling better.  His enthusiasms were electric.  When he stretched out his arm in blessing, everyone, from the least to the greatest, knew that they were included.  Everyone loved to hear him preach.  He was positive, affirmative, and confident.  He had the ability to draw out the best from everything.  He was able to search the Scriptures and find texts that made the darkest days bright.  But his messages were far from being accurate.

Hero or Villain or Both?

Copied from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

October 1, 2021

Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 29:7

When God’s people failed to follow the laws of their God, God raised up a couple of the countries nearby to invade the land and take the people of Israel into exile.  First, the Syrians took the Israelite tribes east of the Jordan River and then the Assyrians invaded the rest of the House of Israel and the House of Judah and then later the nation of Babylon invaded Jerusalem and took the remaining captives of the House of Judah to Babylon.  Before the exile, false prophets had claimed that what Jeremiah prophesied was untrue and that the exile would only last for two years.  Jeremiah warned that the exile would last for 68 more years. 

“Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens and eat the food they produce. Marry and have children. Then find spouses for your children so that you may have many grandchildren. Multiply! Do not dwindle away! And work for the peace and prosperity of Babylon where I sent you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare” (Jeremiah 29:5-7 NLT).

This sermon will begin with a short question: Who wrote the two paragraphs, which contained the above verse (Jeremiah 29:7), which will be given shortly in this sermon, which was taken from the author’s small booklet?  Everyone here will recognize the author’s name when it is given.  Was he a preacher, a teacher or just an ordinary believer?  Maybe he wasn’t a Christian at all.  Maybe he was an atheist or an agnostic or a skinhead.  Some say that he was a hero; many say that he was a villain.  Some say that he was both.

Unitarian Universalist Church

Copied from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

September 19, 2021

Scripture Reading John 12:32:

“And I, [Jesus, the Son of God] if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.”

Universalism has evolved beyond the traditional topics of salvation and future punishment, and now covers many other theological issues and topics.  Universalism began during the early days of Christianity and has fostered as a heresy ever since.  It received a big boost in Europe in 1569 when Transylvanian King John Sigismund issued an edict establishing religious freedom. The Edict of Torda expanded the limits of religious freedom far beyond the standard of 16th-century Europe.  The decree did not put a complete end to discrimination, because official status was granted only to the Catholic, Lutheran, and Calvinist clergymen; but Unitarian, Orthodox, Armenian, Jewish, and Muslim believers could also freely practice their religions.  Although neither the Calvinist nor Unitarian side was declared the winner of the debate at this session, John Sigismund accepted Unitarian ideas, which made him the only Unitarian monarch in history.

JESUS LOVES VOLUNTEERS

by Walter Giddings

September 12, 2021

We begin with The 2nd 13th Amendment to The Constitution for the United States of America.

Section 1.  Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. 

Section 2.  Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.  ratified December 6, 1865. 

What form of Slavery is institutionalized, and sanctioned by this Amendment?  What form of Slavery does this Amendment fail to forbid?  The form of Slavery this Amendment fails to forbid is The form of Slavery that is against The Law of the Land to forbid!  What is the only form of Slavery that is against our Law to forbid?! Who  is willing to volunteer to be a slave?  Do I have any volunteers for slavery?  We do not have much time left. I wish to recruit all of you for slavery!
