The Great Health Care Debacle

25. October 2009 by PawBill.

The “ObamaCare” health care debate has turned into one of the greatest debacles of the twenty-first century.  There are so many lies and distorted truths being told that it is hard to grasp the real facts.  The sad fact is that so many Americans have accepted lying as a life style and even condone the actions of those who tell lies. 

No one would deny medical care to someone in need.  No one wants to see people suffer needlessly.  There is a common sense solution, but the “out of control” executive, legislative and judicial branches of our government and the political parties they represent are only concerned about satisfying elements of society who they can control. This control will guarantee America’s move to a more radical and controlling form of government.  But, we have all heard enough about the medical problems of today and the lies being told.  Your opinion on this topic probably cannot be changed, and neither can mine! 

Think about this.  The ultimate medical plan for man (men and women) was established in the beginning, at man’s creation.  Eons ago man’s original body was design for centuries of living.  In most cases, excluding catastrophic accidents, man’s body was self-healing.  Before the time of the flood as recorded in Genesis 6, man’s life expectancy was recorded in hundreds of years.  Methuselah had the oldest recorded life span of 969 years as recorded in Genesis 5:27. 

At the time of Noah and the flood (Genesis 7:6 recorded Noah as being 600 years old) there was great wickedness and evil on the earth. It is recorded that Sons of God came to earth and had sexual relations with the daughters of men.  From these sexual unions came giants: “Heroes of old, men of renown” they were called.  With such great evil and wickedness on the earth, God (humor me here, you don’t have to believe in God) shortened man’s life span from 900 +/- years to 120 years.  Read the story of Noah and the flood in Genesis 6. 

This is evolution at its finest: a genetic change.  Perhaps man’s original bodies were able to regenerate failing organs or injured limbs much in the same way certain species of salamanders or lizards can grow a tail or leg that is severed.  Think about it.  Think about the world’s population if this was now possible as it may have been in the dateless past. It is almost mind-boggling.  

Without sin — acts of sexual immorality, gluttony, envy and other human attributes of desire — man could have had a long and productive life. Because of sin and disobedience, man’s life was shortened. Let’s face it; man has created his own health care fiasco by simply rejecting his creator’s commandants regarding healthy living. 

We now have generations of “sick” people, and we only have our human nature’s lust and desire to blame. Even with today’s medical knowledge, man cannot live to be one hundred and twenty years of age.    

Miracles and healing, God’s medical plan for His followers, are still possible for those who believe and who have relinquished their self will to the Trinity of God.  All things are possible for those who love the Lord.  If God is calling you, listen and answer his call by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  Yes, it sounds like foolishness to those who will perish.  For myself, I had rather be thought a fool, than be a fool.   

God can heal your body and soul if you will only believe.  I am a medical miracle because of Jesus Christ, and I want to tell you about God’s love so that you may experience it for yourself.    

What about you?  Do you want ObamaCare or do you want God’s Care?  The choice is yours. Don’t delay. Choose today!

Glenn Beck: A Voice Crying in the Wilderness

15. October 2009 by PawBill.

Glenn Beck is a voice crying in the wilderness, “The government, the government, the government is made up of Socialists, Fascists and Communists.”  Is his opinion right?  Apparently, since no one is really holding his feet to the fire with facts to disprove his cries.

President Barrack Hussein Obama told the American people that with his election America would be “fundamentally changed.”  He also remarked, “If we wanted to know who he was just look around at the people he surrounded himself with.” Have you looked around? It is a little frightening. 

So, just who is telling the truth?  The national and local news media, other than Fox News, will not report on any negative aspect of President Obama’s leadership team (CZARS or whatever they are called) or on any of his programs that are not in keeping with America’s Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Our Senators and Representatives do not appear to be overly concerned with anything other than continuing to line their own pockets and those of their backers with “pork-barrel” spending amendments. Why are they not on TV or at least campaigning in their own states promoting a “plan that is good for all Americans?”

Only a minority of the American People has voiced a concern about America’s future direction, and they have been portrayed as extremists and racists by the media.  Where are the mothers, fathers and grandparents?  Are they writing their representatives? 

The truth is there but we have to find it.  While the Hollywood crowd of fools and the late night talk show hosts revel in their sanctimonious diatribes, America’s national debt and the future of our children and grandchildren appears bleak. Where are the investigative reporters and news analyst?  Are there really two radically opposing sides to every issue? I do not think so, but hey, that is just me.

Unfortunately, there will be no answer forthcoming from our leaders.  America can only be saved if its people return to the God of our founding fathers and to a nation of moral values.  That will only happen when individuals begin to get their lives in order.

America will soon disappear from prominence. It is the law of the jungle.  A nation without God, a soul or a spirit will soon disappear into the night.  Read you history. Too bad it is no longer being taught in our public schools and colleges.

I recently wrote my Georgia Senators and Representative.  In my closing remarks I ask them the following:   

“On a more personal level, I care about the religious belief held by my representatives at all levels of government.  A person has the right to his or her own religious views and should not be forced to worship one particular God or god over another; however, they should be willing to publicly acknowledge and share their religious belief.” 

“What about you? Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior or do you claim some other god?  I would like to know.” 

The letter was mailed on July 27, 2009.  I have not received a reply so I will just assume they are ashamed of their religious faith or “non-faith”.

I personally would not care if they were atheist, if they represented my values.  But again, that is just a typical American talking who would probably be labeled a mean, right wing extremist by today’s media “opinion ‘news’ person.”

What about you? Are you ashamed to stand up for your beliefs? If not, start speaking out.  Every voice counts!

The Obama Connection

13. October 2009 by PawBill.

They say a prophet is not recognized in his own town so I guess that applies to President Barrack Hussein Obama. While the United States is split over the leadership being provided by our President, the rest of the world rejoices.

President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize honor is but another accolade on his resume of accomplishments. I see it as a positive event as it is a fulfilling of events that will lead to global changes unprecedented in world history. As Henry Kissinger remarked, “Barack Obama is being primed to create a New World Order.”

So what about this New World Order?  Have you given it any thought lately?  Most probably not unless you are a Bible zealot who believes in the prophesies of the Old and New Testament.  You know, the prophesies about the “666” number, the Antichrist, Beast and False Prophet and the end time battle of Armageddon.

“I am one,” so to speak and I find it fascinating to explore world history, biblical history and prophesy.  You know, of course, the world is going to end on December 21, 2012.  I know it is so because I saw it on the History Channel. What do you believe?

It is fun to joke around, and I enjoy a good joke as well as anyone.  But joking aside, the Holy Spirit tells me to get my act together because biblical prophecies are about to become true; much faster than anyone who believes and studies prophesies could have ever imagined.  It is even harder for me to imagine what those without God will have to endure once the nukes, earthquakes, comets and meteoroids began to occur.

However, today is about hope for those who have placed their trust and faith in the Trinity of God. But, it is about unspeakable terror and hardships for those who have not.

This is only my opinion of course.  The Holy Spirit tells me it is so, and I would love to tell you more if you are interested; for those who think otherwise I do not condemn you.  Only the Trinity will offer you what they gave to me.  I hope it is offered to you. To find out more, write me at the address below.  I would be happy to communicate with you via email.  God loves you and so do I.

God’s Plan for America

13. October 2009 by PawBill.

America is in trouble - big trouble that cannot be resolved through civilized conversation. How we got to this point is irrelevant, as no amount of persuasion or discussion will resolve our issues.

Society is divided across racial, religious and political lines. We are living in an age of violence and corruption where “everyone is doing whatever is right in their own eyes.” Our problems are of biblical proportions. Jesus spoke of the coming of lawlessness in the last days and a period when the love for our fellow man would grow cold. Are we truly living in the last days or is history just repeating itself? 

You may disagree but I believe America will soon experience a catastrophic series of events that will ultimately lead to the death of millions of people and the destruction of its economic power and position in the world.  I call it, God’s Plan for America. 

Once His plan is set in motion only those who are destined to survive, will survive.  Those who depend on the government for help will be like the huddled masses in the aftermath of Katrina; only no one will be willing or even available to render assistance.  Starvation and disease will be rampant and only those capable of defending themselves will be able to survive. 

From these catastrophes America will try to rebuild.  The strong that survive will show no mercy to those who strived to make others subservient to their wishes and actively tried to destroy America. 

Racism will not be a dividing force.  The mentally and physically strong of all races will join together to allow, and in some cases condone, the death of those who are felt to be less desirable, i.e., the unfortunate ones who do not know how to survive on their own initiative, and thieves, murders and the drug addicted. 

Take a good look around you and tell me what you see. I see a people who no longer fear God or have a respect for God’s creation.  If mankind truly feared God, the God of the Bible, they would recognize that civilizations of the past have experienced the same degeneration plunge we are presently experiencing.  God provided a solution thousands of years ago, but man in his own self-righteousness will not accept His solution.  

Unfortunately, the world has once again rejected the true God of the Universe and has chosen to accept and even participate in every imaginable evil offered by the world and its god. It is not a question of luck as to whether you will be safe in the upcoming events.  All are destined for judgment and tribulation through unspeakable and horrific events that wait their appointed time.  All, except those who placed their trust in the Trinity of God, will blasphemy God in days to come for the suffering they will endure. 

What about you?  Do you think God is just a crutch for the mentally deficient?  Are your eyes blinded because of your disbelief? One day they will be opened, and your mouth will confess that “Jesus is Lord” whether you want to or not. 

Get your head out of the sand and start preparing for your survival; you will need a Bible, friends, water, and food as part of your survival plan. Your first step, however, must be the recognition and acceptance of the Trinity of God.

Time is short! Change is coming! You allowed God to be removed from America. You voted, accepted, and condoned change by your silence or approval (the worship of government and man made gods). Now, prepare to accept the consequences.

I Tried to be Your Friend

6. October 2009 by PawBill.

The words below came to me early one morning many years ago. While I was lying in my bed somewhat asleep, I kept going over and over them in my mind.  I finally got up and wrote them down.  Why they came to me then, I do not know. And why I recently thought of them again, I do not know. What they mean, I do not know.  Who the friend is, I do not know.  What the meaning is, I do not know.  It is the only “poetic” moment I have ever had although I do have song lines that come to me often.

The words were meant for someone, and they may have been meant for you.  Are you lonely, without a friend, discouraged and needing to be loved?  If so, Jesus loves you and can give you peace.  Seek Him and He will reveal Himself to you.    

I Tried to be a Friend*

 

By

Paw Bill

–

I tried to be a friend, you know,

But never having had a friend,

Nor never having been a friend,

My naiveté I did show. 

–

But life goes on like memories pass,

And though the years have slowly passed,

Thoughts of you bring back the past,

Of times with you I thought would last.

–

But my life was changed by you,

And I’ll be ever grateful to,

The memories that I have of you,

Of times with you I thought might pass.

–

If I could but be a friend,

With teary eyes I’ve often thought,

Why all my life I’ve been distraught,

Of why no one will be my friend.

–

Life alone I’ve always lived,

And now my life is nearing end,

Who knows what might have been,

If only I had been a friend,

If only I had, had a friend,

I tried to be a your friend, you know.

A Day of Remembrance and Reflection

12. September 2009 by PawBill.

For many, yesterday was a day of remembrance and reflection on the events of September 11, 2001.  As my mind replays the events of that day, I give thanks to God, our creator, for the blessings He has bestowed on the United States of America since its founding.  I am also reminded that there has never been another nation that has been as benevolent with its resources, that has been as strong in its defense of democracies throughout the world or that is the envy of the world and a destination that people from every country seek to abide.  No other nation even remotely compares to what America has been and still is to the rest of the world. 

As I pause and give thanks for America’s greatness, I also remember the victims and families whose lives were forever changed on that day.  Just as we should never forget December 7, 1941 when Japan struck Pear Harbor, neither should we forget September 11, 2001, when Islamic terrorists struck New York, Washington and flight 93 over Pennsylvania.  We are at war with Islamic terrorists, and the only outcome must be total victory.  Anything other than total victory will ultimately leave America to experience another day of mourning.

America is at a crossroad.  We either continue with our Constitution and Republic or we throw it away and adopt another form of government–one being promoted by many of our own elected officials in the name of “change.”  America has been deceived and divided by political ideology.  Wake up America and defend your Constitution before it is too late.  We do not serve the government; it is there to serve us.

When American Christians allowed the one true God to be removed from its shores and allowed political correctness, political affiliation, greed, corruption, cheating and lying to replace the God of their founding fathers, God allowed them to have the “desires of their heart.”  Now, American citizens have only themselves to blame for the shameful theatrics being played out in Washington.

Many of our elected officials who took an oath of office to defend the Constitution of the United States of America lied.  Look at their voting record and their own words.  The bending of untruth to sound truthful is not the same as telling the truth.  Islam permits not telling the whole truth in an attempt to mislead or even lying if it will advance the cause of Islam. Do we have elected officials amongst us who are really followers of Islam and not followers of the God of our founding fathers?  I’ll let you and their words be the judge.

Prophetic books of the Bible have already predicted the future decline of the people of the earth. We are racing toward a one-world government, currency and religion all brought to us by a leader who will be called the Antichrist. Most American’s have already been deceived and will happily accept the Antichrist’s leadership.  The horror of September 11, 2001, will seem insignificant to the horrors that await America in the not too distant future.

There is hope and that hope can be found in Jesus Christ.  Find Him before it is too late.  Only Jesus can give you the peace that will sustain you through the horrors to come. May God bless our souls.

Sexual predators:Life or Death?

1. September 2009 by PawBill.

When the people of the United States will not stand up and say, “enough is enough,” while the courts continue to allow the rape and molestation of our children to go unpunished, it is time for change.  By unpunished I mean death.  Any man or woman who rapes or molests a child should not be permitted to live.  They cannot be rehabilitated!

Now, for all of you self-righteous “do-goods” who have a problem with putting to death molesters of children I offer this solution: you can pay for the incarceration of all imprisoned child molesters through an annual tax.  It will be your fair share of the total cost of keeping these inmates in a lifestyle you and your do-good compatriots see fitting.

Those of us who want to see them get the punishment they deserve, which is death, will pay no tax.  So, keep them alive as long as you want.  Also, you must stay in touch with them by remembering their birthdays with a card or letter and once a year read the police account of the crime or crimes they committed. You will be assigned at least one.  This way if they are ever released they will have a friend who will take them in and care for their needs.

WOW! My human nature just escaped, but frankly I am tired of convicted child molesters being released to only commit another heinous crime. I say kill the low life for their very first molestation conviction.

Under this system there will not be a need for a sexual predators list because there will not be any sexual predators of children after their first conviction.  Of course, society will need to define what “sexual predator” means. It is certainly not the teenager who sends a nude photo of their anatomy over the Internet.

For those of you who cannot or will not accept the God of the Bible and have conjured up some benevolent god that allows you to enjoy the pleasures of the world and to feel good while the innocence and lives of children are destroyed, I do not know what else can be said.

I think I will let Jesus sort it all out at His coming, see 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, or at the Great White Throne Judgment, see Revelation 20:11-15 and 21:7-21. You will be at one or the other.  Do you know which one?

For those of you who do not believe in God, a final judgment or a heaven or hell, then none of this matters except the present laws regarding the treatment of child molesters.  Do they need to be changed, and would you support a change? What will it be?

The recent freeing of Jaycee Lee Dugard, the eleven year old girl kidnapped and held for the past eighteen years by a sexual predator, should bring tears of joy for her release but utter disdain and contempt for her captor.  No punishment would be too severe!

That is my opinion, what is yours?

Are you hot, cold, or lukewarm?

28. August 2009 by PawBill.

I am an optimist by nature, but a pessimist by trade.  I enjoy studying prophesies of end time events, and I truly believe the end time is near.  The end time for the America those of us from an older generation remember, that is.  As our parents and grandparents endured periods of uncertainty during their time, it is now time for us to endure ours. 

But is it?  Our parents and grandparents faced wars and economic hardships, not the collapse of their country at the hands of those who sought to destroy it by destroying its Constitution.  We could very well be at the precipice of allowing a minority of intellectuals and leaders of fringe elements (Socialist, Communist, community organizers and haters of America) to seize control of our government without any resistance. 

Not many seem to care or to even be apprehensive.  Americans are facing something new.  Most main stream news programs are quiet and are refusing to even consider the possibility of a change in our system of government. Both Democratic and Republican representatives and congressmen are too far removed from their constituents to hear any concerns and when questioned refuse to listen.  Worst still, they are oblivious to the many warning signs that surround them.

Yes, there are a few who, like Paul Revere of Revolutionary times, are calling out a twenty-first century message—“the enemy is here, the enemy is here.”  Soon, however, they will be silenced.  They are already being portrayed as a fringe element bent on inciting turmoil against President Obama and the Democratic Party.   What do you think or have you given it any thought?

Recently I was having some repair work done at my home, and I tried to engage a construction worker into a political conversation by asking, “What do you think about the political mess we have in Washington?”  I was somewhat surprised when he did not embark on a tirade against President Obama.  I pretty much knew what his response was going to be, but I was somewhat taken back when he replied, “I don’t vote so I don’t really have an opinion!”  Men in his profession usually have an opinion and are not shy in vocalizing it. I generally know what that opinion is, but for some reason he did not want to reveal it.  Strange, “I thought.”  Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.  His smile gave him away.

Much like the first century church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22), neither hot or cold but lukewarm,  America’s churches have been lukewarm to God and have embraced the ways of the world.  Therefore, God is allowing America to be a nation of fools.  America did not see a need for God, the Ten Commandments, and now its Constitution so God has no use for America.  Think about it.

So, should you be concerned?  I do not find comfort in a scripture verse from Micah 7:13 NIV, “The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as a result of their deeds.”

Either get up, repent, return to God and start defending the Constitution or return to your television and await the end.  Enough said!

The American Church

24. August 2009 by PawBill.

Modern day Christian churches in America delight in sending their members on “mission” trips to the uttermost parts of the world. As a friend recently remarked in jest, “Our church took many scalps on our mission trip to Paris.”  America is now more in need of missionaries from abroad, but unfortunately Islam is meeting that need.

Inaction and complacency on the part of confessing Christians have allowed a small minority of non-believers to erode the very foundation upon which America was founded.  Many church leaders have been blinded and intimidated by political correctness.  Community appeal has become more important than the Christian’s responsibility to be “salt and light” to those living in darkness.  The voices of men of God who proclaim Biblical doctrinal truth (God’s inspired words found in the Bible) are no longer being heard but rather a “feel good message” from deceived church leaders: messages that appeal to a congregation’s egos rather than their souls.

In American society today there is virtually no difference between most who attend church and those who visit bars.  Well, there is one difference.  The ones who visit bars will speak to you if they see you in the local Walmart: not so for many who attend church.  Humor me here, you know you have said the same thing or at least thought it.

Does the American church need revival? The answer is “yes.” Revival is needed desperately.  Many of the churches that claim Christian status are ignorant in their understanding of the Trinity of God (see previous blog on subject). Worst still, many Christian church members no longer believe Jesus is the only way to Heaven.

There needs to be a return to the preaching of the cross of Jesus, His shed blood, death and resurrection. America may soon become totally and irreversibly lost to drugs, criminal activity, and sexual immorality if Christian church leaders and congregations do not return and restore the values that made America great.

What about you? Are you burdened in you heart and soul? Are you crying out for help? If so, God stands ready to receive you no matter what your present circumstance.  Surrender to Jesus and allow him to become your Lord and Savior.  Once you do, accept the Holy Spirit of God that will come and live in you.  “Greater is he (the Holy Spirit) that is in you, than he (Satan) that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Your heart and soul will find peace. “There is no other way,” said Jesus.

Do you suffer from PPCCS?

13. August 2009 by PawBill.

I had lunch with an acquaintance recently, and he wanted to talk about his marital problems. He was considering an affair, but I cautioned him that this would not solve his problem.  “Maybe”, I said, “your wife is frustrated and just needs you to listen.”  He never acknowledged that he might be the problem, and he only talked about her constant complaints.  After only a few minutes I began to suspect he was suffering from PPCCS.

Persistent Perceived Constant Criticism Syndrome (PPCCS) is the psychiatric medical name, but it is commonly referred to as “chronic bitch slapping” by men who like complaining about their wives. It is a leading cause of divorce, and 82.3% of married men suffer from it according to the latest informal poll taken at a local drinking establishment; 14.1% refused to discuss the issue, and 3.6% needed to discuss it with their wives before they could comment.  It is a perceived problem that if allowed to go unrecognized and treated will bring disastrous results and harm to a marriage.

But, where did this syndrome first appear?  The first recorded incident of a man’s view and thoughts on this syndrome was some two thousand plus years ago.  King Solomon who ruled over Israel for some forty years chronicled the first written record. 

Among many references that you will find written in the book of Proverbs are the following: “A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand;” Proverbs 27:15. “Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife;” Proverbs 21:19, and “Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife,” Proverbs 21:9.

Yes, I believe King Solomon was an authority on women. In 1 Kings 11:3 we learned,  “He (Solomon) had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.”  Solomon had the pick of the best.  More than likely they were all virgins, beautiful, and intelligent. Not your everyday girl on the street; there might be some knowledge to be learned from this.  Maybe beauty is only skin deep, but as Red Foxx use to say, “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone.”   

You can read about the riches of King Solomon’s splendor in 2 Chronicles chapter 9.  He indeed had it all but his wives and their “gods” were his downfall.  He tried to please them by bowing to their wishes and desires but was ultimately led astray.  Unfortunately he allowed himself to be enticed into worshiping false gods like many in today’s world.

Although you can find disparaging remarks about the character of a class of women in the book of Proverbs, you can also find a description of what a “real” woman from a man’s perspective would be like.  “The Wife of Noble Character” is indeed a superwoman, and her description is found in Proverbs 31:19-31. A man would be fortunate to have such a wife, but in reality no such woman could ever exist if she had to be a “mother” to a husband and family. 

I would encourage you to read the book of Proverbs for some great insight in daily living.  When you finish Proverbs the next book over is Ecclesiastes, a man’s search for the meaning of life, followed by the Song of Songs, a lover’s love for his beloved.  If you are a seeker, you will not be disappointed.

Solomon’s gives us one more look into his apparent frustration with women in Ecclesiastes 7:27-28 where it is recorded, “Look, says the teacher, this is what I have discovered: Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things–while I was still searching but not finding—I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.”

Maybe that is why God only intended for a man to have one wife (one at a time, that is) because God knew man would not be happy otherwise.  But wait; maybe the Islamic suicide bomber going to be with seventy virgins is not heaven after all.  Maybe it is pure hell.  I am glad I am not going there.

In the culture of Biblical times most women were viewed as property and had no rights.  In today’s world Islamic women are still treated as property.  Jesus Christ elevated women and taught otherwise.  In the true Christian religion, women are men’s equals and partners in marriage.  Men and women should seek Christian partners for a truly happy and sustainable life.  When married partners treat each other as equals you truly have a marriage made in Heaven.

I wish I could claim originality for the term “Bitch Slap.”  It is a term a man could laugh about, but women probably do not see the humor.  While tuning across the TV channels I heard a man refer to his wife using this term.  I believe it was a comedy show, and the wife had been making wifely remarks; men, you know what I’m writing about.  The husband finally responded with, “quit bitch slapping me around, woman!” or something to that effect.

I am sure that in most arguments between a husband and wife the term has been used.  Likewise I am sure the wife has used the “donkey term.”  Although this has been written for humor, it is a two way street.  Women can likewise suffer from both physical and mental abuse by their husbands. If you are a woman and are in an abusive situation, seek help immediately before you are severely injured.

There is hope if you are a believer in Jesus Christ and will be going to the Heaven He promised, and you have not had a happy marriage or marriages while here on earth.  Jesus said in Matthew 22:30, “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.”

If you have enjoyed your marriage here on earth you may be disappointed in not continuing your marriage in Heaven.  I know I will, but God knows best and I will trust Him and His plans for my future.  What about you?  

Disclaimer:  I do not suffer from PPCCS, but I know a lot of men who perceive they do.  For those of you who do suffer (both Christian and non-Christian), seek counseling from a Christian counselor with your spouse before it is too late to save your marriage.
