The Return of the Ancient Gods

Today at the American Thinker Civis Americanus has an article entitled The Democrat Left Welcomes Antisemites, Cop Haters, and Terrorist Supporters. As always you should go read it.

No really, go read it. I'll wait.

Read it? Good. Did you notice that the article mentioned exclusively BLM? Not of course that these are the only antisemites, cop haters, and terrorists that find a political home in the Democrat party. But it does point out that there is a profound problem with identity politics in general, and groups like BLM in particluar. That problem is that God created man in his own image. It doesn't say that God created black man, asian man, and white man. He created man.  To identify oneself as a race or other immutable characteristic is wrong.  It is sinful.  We are to identify ourselves as what we are: images of God.  Thinking about just that will blow your mind.

In the first chapter of Genesis it says:

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.”

Note also that God created mankind in only two varieties, to wit: male and female. That is each one of us is born in one of two genders, not 57 or whatever the current count is. More specifically, there are no "transgender," let alone trans-anything else. There is no nonbinary either. And God expects that men will dress as men and fulfill the role of men, while women should dress as women and fulfill the role of women. And yes, of course I feel compassion for people who feel that they were, as they say, born in the wrong body. But realizing that this is not reality is the first step toward helping these confused people adjust to reality.

I don't know when the Lutheran churches began downplaying the role the the devil in the lives of men, but I was taught that the ancient gods, Ba'al and his Ashteroth and Moloch were not real. Supposedly they were mere myth, nothing to worry about.  Of course one understands that the idols representing these gods were made by men, and worshiping a clay image seemed stupid. But what if they used the images much as say, Catholics use icons?

As it turns out, these ancient gods are in fact real and are the main manifestation of Lucifer in the lives of men. Jonathon Cahn has a book out now entitled Return of the Gods that shows how, as we kicked God out of our public life, we didn't, as one might predict, just have a godless country. Unfortunately, it is our fate to either serve God, or serve the Devil.  There is no other choice.  I don't know about you, but I would prefer to serve God.  

Ba'al is the god of gain and greed. Man needs certain things to survive: food, water, shelter. And of course he needs a mate. Ba'al works on men's needs to convince him he doesn't ever have enough. The sense that a man doesn't have enough causes him to chase after more and more, and to not trust the God of creation.  You see all the time advertisements playing on the idea that you must save enough, invest enough rather than just trust God.

Then there is his consort Asteroth, the goddess of prostitutes, of licentiousness, of fornication but also of transgenderism and cross dressing. Feminism, the idea of the strong, independent woman is part of the influence of Ashteroth because it denies a woman's role.

Finally, Moloch is the god of human sacrifice. In ancient times parents actually fed their children to Moloch's fires seeking the favor of the god. Today Moloch is the one to whom abortionists sacrifice our chidren. Ever wonder why so many abortionists fight so viciously to keep abortion available? It is not simply the money abortion brings in. It is an actual religious reaction, whether they acknowledge it or not.

We must kick these demons out of our lives, and out of America.  We must trust our Creator implicitly in all things. Heis our only hope.
