A Review Of “The Deceived” By Bill Myers

Matthew 24:24 warns “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect --- if that were possible.” With all the enticing messages trying to lead Christian young people astray, “The Forbidden Doors Series” by Bill Myers provides a bit of insight into the subtle temptations of mysticism conspiring to lead the individual into spiritual destruction.

In “The Deceived“, Myers examines the dangers posed by hypnosis and reincarnation. The main character, a high school student named Rebecca, is mesmerized by a hypnotist and undergoes past-life regression.

Thinking she is the reincarnation of a French monarch, Rebecca longs to reconnect with the powers she is convinced she once possessed, Rebecca falls under the influence of a renowned motivational speaker. However, does this occultist have Rebecca’s best interests at heart or an intention far more sinister in mind?

The family depicted by Myers is highly sympathetic in nature since as average Christians they have an inkling something is amiss but, as with the rest of us unaccustomed to dealing with the paranormal, the characters are forced to struggle with phenomena not all that common for the majority living in the rational lands of the scientific West.

Young readers will enjoy “The Deceived’s” suspenseful content. Parents will be relieved that the Christian approach taken to the material will prevent the excitement from luring the child into the world of the occult and perhaps even inoculate young minds against these dangers when they manifest themselves in other expressions of popular culture.

Will Dead Zone Be Worth Watching Anymore

In the season premiere of USA’s Dead Zone, not only was the Sheriff killed off but so it seems was the “Armageddon” storyline where a nebulous secret society was manipulating Rev. Purdy of the Faith Heritage Alliance (a character based somewhat on Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority) into being the False Prophet and now Vice President Greg Stillson into being the Antichrist.

Most of the high points of the series thus far have dealt with reluctant precognitive Johnny Smith attempting to prevent Washington DC from being destroyed in a nuclear explosion. However, with Rev. Purdy accidentally killing Janus, his handler from the secret society, it seems Smith no longer sees visions of mass destruction when he touches Stillson.

Sounds like the only bomb may be this shows ratings from here on out.

Now Your A Sinner If You Retire Or Don't Leave Your Kids A Sizeable Inheritance

While his comments extolling debt-free living were commendable, Kevin Swanson's remarks about how one is obligated to leave one's children a sizeable inheritance and how it's a sin to retire are just not realisitic.

For starters, it's nearly impossible to save up much money these days when even the small homes Swanson thinks you should be jammed into (he admires Patrick Henry for raising 15 children in a 400 square foot house, causing one to conclude that Henry wanted something other than liberty at least from the little woman) run close to $350,000 these days with tax bills pushing close to $5,0000 annually with possibly going higher when all the new environmental fees are calculated in. Mind you, the Generation's Radio sect also heeps an additional condemnation upon you if you do not wed by the early 20's and pump out at least a half dozen children.

Maybe Christians should sock into their own bank accounts the money they would nomrally send to these kinds of ministries.

As to the retirment comment, perhaps he should realize that not every one derives the same sense of satisfaction as he does from his payed employment.

Pizzeria Dishes Up Big Slice Of Monetary Subversion

Observant critics of the illegal immigration plague sweeping across the United States point out the irony that, while those sneaking across the boarder often have no desire to acclimate to the culture into which they are intruding, they have little problem accepting American money. However, if a policy implemented by one business catches on eventually, those sneaking into this great land will more likely find an odious trashphile rather than a shining city on a hill.

A Texas-based pizza chain has instituted a program to accept pesos as payment for the eatery’s wears. The company claims it is implementing the program to tap into the Hispanic market (and in the very same breath those advocating such a marketing strategy would admonish the rest of us that they never consider ethnicity in reference to social matters).

For decades, the American people have been cowed into not only accepting but also applauding any policy exempting certain groups from the regulations and expectations imposed upon the rest of us for fear of being labeled with one of those nebulous yet ominous chastisements such as “racism” or “intolerance”. However, things have gone so far and even though it’s probably too late to do anything as the time to have corrected the problem was back when Pat Buchanan brought up the issue in the early 90’s, average Americans are just about sick of the demise of their country and are finally speaking out against this demographic and linguistic foolishness. However, as usual, they are the ones being lectured and castigated by various elites for not applauding the cultural surrender of the United States.

The pizza joint’s owner is quoted in a January 9, 2007 entry titled “Pesos For Pizzas” posted on USA Today’s “On Deadline Blog” as saying, “You know what’s really sad is we’ve received a number of emails at our website...and many of them are just filled with hate and it’s very sad...People are linking it to patriotism, people are linking taking pesos for a hot pizza to illegal immigration.”

Critics are not the ones making the most to-do over the policy. Some falderal trotted out to commemorate the promotion at a number of these eateries included banners not simply reading “Pesos accepted for payment” but rather gushing “Welcome Countrymen”.

Though the effort to merge all of North America into a continuous Third World ghetto steams along, Mexicans are not yet our countrymen. Furthermore, anyone crossing the border to the extent that they haven’t or refuse to learn English still see Mexico rather than the United States as the nation to which they are ultimately loyal.

The owner of the pizzeria muses, “I just didn’t realize there was that much hate out there.” If he thinks the worst of it is about failure to applaud the economic subversion of the United States, he has no idea whatsoever of the hate that is actually out there, much of it emanating from those enabling those this misguided restaurateur heralds as his fellow countrymen.

In his classic Death Of The West: How Dying Populations & Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country And Civilization, Pat Buchanan points out that while Caucasian Americans are basically forbidden from enunciating but the most colorblind of sentiments, the same does not apply to the forces of Hispanosupremacism before which spineless liberals cower. The slogan of MECHA, a socialist organization spreading the message of violent insurrection among college students especially, is, “For our race, everything. For those outside our race, nothing (130).”

So no matter how much the owner of this pizza parlor might want to brownnose these migrating insurgents, they will never share his sentiments of a common transethnic nationhood. If other revolutions throughout history are any kind of indicator, this Chief Boyardee’s head will be among the first finding his head atop a pike when these violent swarms decide to finally show the country their true colors.

In all fairness, this is not the only business undermining this nation in pursuit of filthy lucre. Some of the nation’s most prominent financial institutions are undermining this great country as well.

While most assume that it is the politicians that have the ultimate say, one could very well make the argument that this is rather a distinction belonging to the bankers of the world. For while the politicians are in theory accountable to the people, the bankers for the most part only answer to themselves and may in fact control the politicians to an extent as the bankers control access to the money that the politicians crave.

A while back, I went to the bank. While waiting to take care of my business there, I picked up a sheet listing the kinds of identification acceptable for opening an account.

Among these documents requiring people to prove their right to be here included a driver’s license, passport, and voter registration card. However on the list was a document known as a “matricular consular” which are distributed by the Mexican government in what essentially amounts to an act of war so that its population so might be able to circumvent our laws and undermine our economy.

Americans --- citizens of the United States --- are told under the banner of the lofty sounding legislation such as the Patriot Act and the like that they must willingly submit themselves to a litany of new surveillance programs such as more stringent requirements to obtain a legitimate ID. However, its seems foreigners not even having enough class or character to come here in the proper manner are going to pretty much be handed the rudimentary tools necessary to function and prosper here without even having to fully prove who they really are. Thus in the final analysis, such regulations are not so much about keeping troublemakers out as about keeping those with the right to be here corralled and controlled.

It is argued that America (or rather certain businesses) need a steady stream of migrant laborers to do jobs Americans refuse to do or rather to keep wages low and depressed. Now that businesses one by one are beginning to take in both dollars and pesos, what is to stop them from eventually arguing that because of the administrative costs of having to deal with both currencies they can only afford to hire workers willing to accept payment in pesos? If those in the highest positions of influence are willing to set aside this nation’s socio-linguistic foundation in their attempt to establish a new brand of feudalism, couldn’t they also just as easily implement two tiers of currency as well?

An old adage admonishes to put your money where your mouth is. Those willing to accept an inferior tender over that of their own country are just a few notches above Judas Iscariot and at least he had enough sense to demand precious metals and not worthless paper.

The overly-tactful might object to the use of a certain term above.

However, one might say that it is a "legitimate" dictionary use of the word, which is more than can be said of those pursuing this route of procuring a family.

The crux of the issue is not so much that this kind of thing happens as mistakes occur and we're all only human.

The concern arises when no one feels any guilt about such lapses anymore, expects all kinds of accolades and handouts from the rest of us, and then turn around and do it again as if they've learned nothing from the first go round.

Things have gotten so bad that, at a Heritage Foundation roundtable discussion on the problems facing Black Americans, the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson relayed an anecdote where a church he knew of was holding a babyshower not for an errant young girl that became with child prior to marriage but rather for a deaconess that had numerous children outside of marriage. Can anyone tell me why the garments bestowed upon the previously offspring weren't good enough for the newest edition?

Those entranced by the incessant invocation of judge not lest ye be judged these days to coverup a litany of popular shortcomings will no doubt be appalled by these apparently strident comments.

But something has to be said when those snickered at during extended family gatherings are not the ones with two and three illegitimate kids in tow along with their assorted concubines and manwhores whom even the octogenarians of the clan have been conditioned into accepting as husbands and wives of the next generation though nary a marriage license can be found among them but rather those that have avoided the temptation to copulate with anything that moves.

Swansonites Claim Those With Fewer Than Five Offspring Don't Love Children

If this headline seems familar, it is because this sect seems to drone on about this issue incessantly and I think it needs to be exposed before it grabs hold in the broader Evangelical community as this group has amicable relations with more respectable Christian personalities such as Ray Comfort and Ken Ham.

Does this group love children or rather the desire to control the lives of other Christians?

Interesting how this mindset is only imposed upon those of us lower down the ecclesiastical hierarchy.

C.S. Lewis didn't have any children of his own and on top of that married a divorced woman; Pastor Swanson care to address that one.

I don't care either way, but I am not the one telling you how to live your reproductive life inside of your own marriage either.

I suppose we'll eventually get a lecture how us single folks are suppose to pick up the bill.

Reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons that poked fun at both sides of the fecundity issue in which Homer said, "We would have never had all these kids if we knew we were the ones that had to pay for them."

Apparently I’m Not The Only One With Bad Grammar & Poor Logic

I came across a blog entry on the Net where I am criticized for criticizing Emergent Church kingpin Brian McLaren.

Foremost among the grievances rank alleged grammar errors and lapses in logic.

As to the grammar errors, perhaps so and frankly I don’t care because in light of the number of illegals that are going to be allowed to stay here in the coming years if so-called immigration reform passes, any English flowing from my pen is by default on par with Shakespeare.

When people start paying me a million dollars for these columns, I’ll waste what few years of eyesight I have left to ferret them out.

But the most comical thing about that criticism is that the allegation has been levied by someone that uses “i” rather than “I” throughout the entire blog entry. Isn’t the capitalization of “I” about one of the first rules of grammar one learns in first or second grade if one’s school has not been given over to wasting the scholastic day brainwashing students with viewings of “Brokeback Mountain” and the like?

Or maybe such a glaring mistake is deliberate and merely a manifestation of the rampant communalism infecting the Emergent Church movement.

For you see, “I” has traditionally been capitalized in the English language to denote the importance of the individual. However, in many of these churches, the congregations have been so beaten over the head about the dangers of individualism that they have begun to think of themselves only as members of the group or COMMUNITY and to forego personal recognition; unless of course you happen to be one of the bigwigs running one of these hovels of heresy. Then of course by all means you get to have your name up in lights and fritter across the countryside telling the troglodytes paying for your airfare why they are so evil for driving SUV’s and living in single family houses.

The second criticism is even more ironic than the first in that they accuse me of faulty logic.

For those not familiar with the tenets of the Emergent Church movement, it is the contention of this particular theological perspective that the genius of Christianity is not to be found in the LOGICAL or FACUTAL accuracy of its truth claims but rather in how warm and fuzzy its NARRRRRATIVE makes you feel.

And if some other system of thought floats you boat such as Hollywood style Buddhism or a particular doctrine of Christianity makes you uncomfortable such as those that reject Christ are sent to Hell, that’s no biggie either since in the end we’re all gonna get to Heaven anyway but that’s not important anymore either as the point of salvation is not to enjoy a splendid afterlife in the presence of the Almighty reunited with dearly departed loved ones but rather to have our income redistributed to a bunch of lazy bums unwilling to get off their rear ends and provide for themselves.

Besides, in this postmodern age, whose to say who’s right and who’s wrong?

Why the Emergent Church crowd of course, especially if you happen to disagree with one of their head honchos who are accorded a disturbing degree of deference for a movement claiming to be about tearing down traditional hierarchies.

If there is nothing more to religious expression than the thrill one gets from tooting one’s on horn, then why are they raising such a fuss if my column does not hold up to a correspondence theory of veracity? Haven’t the postmoderns in Emergent circles been the ones to popularize the notion that the only truth that matters is that which we ourselves hold?

Literature Distribution Classified As Hate Crime

For years, devotees of liberty have warned that eventually hate crimes laws would be invoked to halt the disemination of thought and ideas.

The sophisticated brushed aside such insinuations claiming that such a scenario could never happen in the United States.

The next step down this slope of degeneracy is no doubt forbidding certain portions of Scripture within our houses of worship and the forcing of churches to allow outright buggerists in their pulpits.

The War Against Suburbia & The Abolition Of Human Liberty

The idea to shelve human beings like sardines in a can is no longer a dream held only by lunatic social planners.

Interesting how the elites such as John Edwards are allowed to cordone themselves off on multi-million dollar estates while the rest of us are supposed to embrace cramped living according to bureaucratic, academic, and even ecclesiastical elites.

Those concerned about private property and skyrocketing housing costs will find this Heritage Foundation lecture quite informative.

Nephilim Army This Year’s Smallville Finale McGuffian.

Many works of speculative fiction employ a story element known as a MacGuffin device around which the plot develops. Usually this happens to be some kind of weapon of mass destruction.

However, the 2007 season finale of Smallville decided to take the concept in a decidedly different direction with interesting parallels to current biotechnical developments.

In the episode, Lex Luthor is bent on creating an army of enhanced soldiers to combat the growing menace of superpowered humans (as well as to no doubt line his own pockets and enhance his own political status).

Yet what makes this episode stand out is that it is revealed that the success of these experiments is linked to capturing a disembodied entity (a demon if you will) that escaped from the Phantom Zone, the netherworld utilized by the people of Krypton as a workaround of their stance against the death penalty for the planet’s worst criminals. For you see, the entity alters the genetic code of the human host it possesses and Luthor believes the alterations can be mass produced.

However, things do not work out as intended and the entity eventually gets a hold of Clark Kent’s DNA and morphs into what the creature itself describes as a “more bizarre version” of the Man of Steel. As the being flies off, coupled with that comment and the white powdery appearance that comes over its face in mid-flight, it is apparent the character is meant to be Bizarro.

Interestingly, in past incarnations of this warped version of Superman, he comes about as the result of a direct botched cloning. Those following developments in transhumanism where the Doctor Frankensteins of the early 21st century hope to meld all manner of creatures be they animal, human, or nonterrestrial together will no doubt note the parallels of this new interpretation in the episode to the events alluded to in Genesis about the mingling of distinct orders of being in the hopes of bringing about the elusive ubernmensch as the character is the result of the fusion of the biological and the extradimensional.

Fans will also enjoy typical season finale hijinks and as usual will be left wondering all summer whether Lana or Chloe will survive their annual excursions to death’s door and just whose side Lionel Luthor is really on.
