WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE HOW WHY

 WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE HOW WHY

By Richard P. Joseph



I am a Medical Technologist, what is commonly called a lab tech.  Since I work in a hospital lab, I understand the importance of accurate documentation.  Every test I run has my initials on it so I am responsible for every move I make.  Recently our hospital posted placards of what they call “Narrate Your Care”.  I was surprised because every hospital I ever worked for spends most of their time promoting sexual perversion and offending Christians.  This poster, however, is actually a good thing (for once).  It promotes the idea of accurate communication and documentation.  Why is this important?

This is vital to the treatment of patients.  Let’s say for example that a patient presents to the Emergency Department with a critically high glucose.  Let’s say the first reading is 500 ml/dl.  Then the doctor begins treating the patient with insulin or whatever.  Then they take readings, let’s say every 3 hours.  The next reading might be 300, then 200, then 90 eventually bringing the patient into safety.  But what would happen if the doctor disregarded the time of each blood draw and simply looked at the chart and said “I see a result of 500 and so I will treat it as if this is the current result”.  He might end up killing the patient.  That is why each tube drawn is marked with the exact time it was collected by the phlebotomist and therefore accurately shows the progress of treatment.  To disregard these time statements could be fatal.  In other words, for proper charting, one must have all of the patient information correct as far as “what, who, when, why, where, how”.  If any of that information  is inaccurate, the patient will suffer.   So what does this have to do with the bible?

Hermeneutics is the art of proper biblical interpretation.  The application of proper hermeneutics is very similar to medical documentation.  You must ask those same questions in order to properly interpret scripture.  Just like reading a medical chart wrong could cause damage to the patient, reading scripture wrong will damage our understanding of the bible.  We are in an epidemic of faulty theology today for this exact reason.  It is inexcusable for bible colleges to continue teaching and regurgitating inaccurate doctrine.  Once someone gets off track and begins teaching bad doctrine it becomes entrenched and hard to pull out of.  This is how we now ended up with nearly all pastors preaching a future return of Christ.  The few of us who stopped and questioned the false narrative, are looked upon as heretics.  But in reality all we did was to stop and ask “what, who, when, why, where and how”.  As you read your bible and you want to interpret your text, just stop and ask those questions.  I guarantee a whole new world will open up to you that you never thought was there.  Find out and ask, who is speaking, when is he speaking, what time parameters are noted, where are they at, what year is it, how are the people listening going to interpret it, what culture are they in.  Put yourself in their shoes.   Also, what did the apostles teach concerning that issue?  It is hilarious to watch all of these pastors pretending that they figured something out that the inspired apostles never figured out.  For example, not one apostle ever taught a second coming that would be delayed for thousands of years.  They all taught an imminent return.  Attempting to interpret an ancient Middle Eastern document using modern western thought is ludicrous and yet that is exactly what people are doing.  Please stop and ask questions.  Ask me questions.  Ask yourself questions.  Ask God questions.  Ask, seek, knock and the door will be opened up to you.  Your entire worldview depends on it!

Europa

 Europa

By Richard P. Joseph





I just finished listening to a 12 hour podcast called Europa.  It was some of the best propaganda I have ever heard!  It seems like their goal was to make Adolf Hitler look like a hero and make the Jews and the west look bad.  Making Adolf Hitler look good isn’t going to happen any time soon for me and making me into a white supremacist isn’t either but having said that, there actually was a wealth of usable information in the podcast.  It gives another side to the story and some of it was and is very legitimate. 
One of their main points was that Adolf Hitler was merely attempting to keep his race pure from being diluted, not necessarily just to murder other people.  They give a long explanation of this so you would have to watch it to hear it all.  The reason Hitler attempted to push the Jews out is because of what happened in Russia.  First of all, it was Jews that created modern day atheistic communism, then they influenced the Russians to murder their Christian Tzar and his family as well as millions of their own civilians.  The Bolsheviks then created the Union of  Soviet Socialist Republics by overrunning neighboring countries and forcing them into their Jewish lead atheistic communist country.  The Jews had already taken over most of the world banks and therefore had a death grip on the world's finances, including America.  It almost seems that the modern day Jewish messiah is really the Jewish people becoming the messiah over the nations.  They use banking, pornography, propaganda and communism to achieve this.  They are huge proponents of open borders for all other nations except themselves in order to dilute countries from their historical culture into becoming a multicultural society with no history and no cohesive morals to live by, while at the same time they have the most secure borders in the world in Israel.  Once all the nations are thoroughly diluted of their heritage, the Jewish oligarchy then takes full control.  In fact, the video claims that Hitler was really attacked because he refused the Jewish banking system and created his own German currency. 

Don’t laugh, just turn any real news on today and you can see that Europe and Canada are completely taken over by foreign migrants and the democrats are making sure the United States doesn’t get left behind.  We are in the very throes of being invaded and taken over by multiple nationals from around the world.   We do not have to imagine any of what I just described because it is a current reality.  It is well planned and executed and the republicans are either helping the democrats do it or are just sitting there watching it happen and doing absolutely nothing about it.  But I would like to approach this problem from a different perspective. 

 Instead of using race, I would rather use faith.  Remember, the reason “Cultural Diversity” was invented was not to introduce other races, it was to introduce other religions.  Since the United States was inherently Christian, the atheists created something that would dilute Christianity out of Western Civilization and it is working like a charm.  If a pastor or anyone expresses concern about the problem, they just get called a racist and they immediately “feel the shame” and acquiesce.  I have been kicked off of most social platforms and have lost jobs because I failed to acquiesce, especially to the homosexual propaganda.  And the main problem with the Christian community is faulty theology.    Let me ask you a question:  Which fake religion hates Jesus more, Islam or rabbinical Judaism?  The correct answer is obviously the Jews.  The Muslims actually have a much higher opinion of Jesus than the Jews do.  In fact the Jews hate him.  Now for the second question:  Which fake religion do 99% of the Christian churches hold in very high esteem?  Modern Judaism of course.  In other words, our church leaders have completely fallen for the zionist propaganda and wholeheartedly support a fake religion that hates Jesus Christ to the core.  So what am I really getting at here?

The full preterist doctrine is the only Christian doctrine that understands that modern Rabbinical Judaism has absolutely nothing to do with biblical Judaism.  Anyone who has ever read the bible, especially the New Testament, should clearly see that Jesus Christ became the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law and left Judaism obsolete.  If you missed that then read it again.  I am not even going to quote any scripture because it is an overt doctrine that can be found on nearly every page of the New Testament.  In fact, that eschatological point is the very reason the New Testament was formed.  You can’t miss it.  The apostle Paul explained over and over how the old is ready to fade away.  John clearly taught about the old world fleeing away and that there is now a New Heaven and New Earth.  Once you read the writings of Josephus, things fall right into place.  The Judaism of today is a man made religion and that’s it, period.  That doesn’t mean to hate anyone or try to exterminate anyone, it just means that modern Rabbinical Judaism has nothing to do with Christianity or God, in fact it is full atheism.  Adolf Hitler should have just used policy instead of concentration camps to solve the problem.  We don’t need to euthanize anybody, just create solid Christian policies to correct the current course of things.  Also, quit believing fake Christian propaganda that simply isn’t in the bible.  Judaism was leveled to the ground in AD 70 at the second coming of Christ and that fixed the whole problem, why bring the problem back?  

Having a cohesive culture is great but the thing that can bring people together most effectively is Christianity, not race.  Once we become overrun I fear it will be the very end of Western Christian based civilization.  Most invaders are not coming here to propagate the Christian faith, they are coming either to get free stuff or to destroy like a swarm of locusts.  They will never build anything back, only destroy.  Communism and woke do not build anything up, they are evil and only have the ability to destroy, not to build.  The only thing “Build Back Better” can do is cause permanent destruction.  The left is a demolition crew, they are not builders of anything.  If the Church doesn’t wake up, like yesterday, we are doomed to becoming a full fledged third world refuse hole.  It takes guts to stand up, but, like the apostles, we must and we must soon!  All illegal migration across our border must be stopped and those that entered already must be deported.  Then a law must be implemented that any legal immigrant to the United States must take an oath to respect our Christian heritage and if they break that oath in any way they immediately get deported.

Predestination

 Predestination

By Richard P. Joseph




I am not a Calvinist scholar but am familiar with the Calvinist view called predestination.  John Calvin’s interpretation of scripture led him to form the predestination model in that God predetermines our salvation status completely.   This includes sending babies to hell if they are not among the elect.  Some people get around this doctrine by eliminating hell as a heretical teaching altogether thus the condemned souls just “perish” instead of forgoing eternal punishment.  While I still hold to some sort of eternal punishment, I cannot prove one side or the other necessarily at this point.  I also know some who hold to the view that there is neither heaven or hell, which would make Calvinism even more palatable.  In this article, I will attempt to present a third option.

All conscientious scholarly preterists hold to the hermeneutic of “Context is King”.  I have heard many preterist teachers make that statement and then in the next breath promote Calvinism.  I have recently read over Romans 9-11 with the goal of establishing a context and what I found changes everything.  These three chapters ( and many more) are concerned mainly with the mystery of the gospel wherein some of the original branches of the olive tree will be pruned off and replaced with wild olive branches.  In 9:6 Paul declares that For they are not all Israel who are of Israel”.  Paul is clearly making a distinction between the true believers and the unbelievers.  Once faith is established as the avenue for salvation, the Jew-Gentile scenario becomes of no effect.  This is the mystery of the gospel.  It is this interaction that became a major issue for the first century church as the Judaizers were a constant plague to Paul.  Everywhere Paul traveled, the Judaizers were close behind causing havoc on the newly established churches.   As Paul was establishing a “faith” based salvation, the Judaizers were undermining him by teaching a “law” based salvation.  That is why Paul wrote in Romans 9:32-33  Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, [e]by the works of the law.  

Paul continues with this Jew-Gentile context throughout these three chapters and much more.  It is as if the predestination question has something to do with the idea that the gentiles were predestined to enter in as brothers in Christ through faith, not through works, through belief, not through the law.  Those that were prepared for destruction appear to be the “unbelievers”, both Jew and gentile.  Pharaoh's salvation wasn’t what was predetermined, it was his actions against the Israelites.  It is a false narrative that has permeated the pulpit that Pharaoh was predetermined to be an unbeliever; that was his choice.  He was used and hardened against the sons of Israel to show God’s power to the world.  I am convinced that if you reread Romans and pay close attention to the context, you may very well come up with a new perspective on predestination.  John Calvin was not a preterist and, though very smart, he perhaps did not pay close enough attention to context.  If he did, he would have become a preterist!

I therefore do not fully accept that God determines the salvation status of people exclusively.  We must respond to his call by faith and not by works.  He calls and he alone provides the salvation but we must accept or reject his free gift.  I don’t believe anyone should blame God for their own stiff neck.  If you go to hell, you asked for it.  Jesus paid the price and does the calling.  If you are of faith then God will open your ears to hear the words of the Good Shepherd and you will be saved.  

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. [a]But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.  Just as it is written:

“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”    Romans 11;6-8
