EXCERPTS: SMALL-C COMMUNISM
Excerpts:
I use the term "communism" with a lowercase "c" rather than opting for some other term, because in doing so, I aid in undoing the stream of consciousness that has usurped and abused the term and process of coming to fruition.
The fact is that the Democrats have been every bit as much confused by the true nature of mammon and capitalism as have the Republicans. Since Communism was directly associated with totalitarian resistance of capitalism, the Democrats easily fell prey to the propaganda of the wealthy that small-c communism leads to serfdom, which is a complete falsehood no matter how one slices it.
Now, people ask why then didn't the Soviet Union succeed. The Soviet Union was not democratic any more than is the United States. In a pure, direct, participatory democracy, communism (lowercase or small-c) will always be the inevitable outcome, because that's God's way. There is not pure, direct, participatory democracy in the United States, because wherever and whenever people try to introduce it into the mainstream, the powers that be who have their power by undemocratic means, put the squeeze on, just as Nixon and Kissinger put the squeeze on Chile and just as the United States has put the squeeze on every other nation in the world really. There is no nation that has escaped the power politics of the United States.
We know that real small-c communism is the right direction toward the destination of God's provisioning without toil. We simply point out that the takers of the inheritance are those who have set up the system in a rigged manner without asking the people.
Conservative blasphemy: Telling half-truths: Large-c Communism versus the small-c communism of Jesus and the Apostles
Those conservatives, who hold to violent, lusting, selfish interests, point to the failure of unmerciful dictators successfully to ward off those capitalists and failure successfully to lead communist organizations as proof of the unworkable and undesirable nature of holding all things in common. The fact that unmerciful dictators cannot succeed in creating or running the commons of the world proves nothing against the righteousness of all things in common. It proves nothing against the teachings of Jesus or the lives of the Apostles. At the same time the conservatives point to unmerciful dictators as their proof against the lifestyle of Jesus, they are simultaneously deliberately concealing the successes of communists around the world from the people whose minds the capitalists have captured and brainwashed. By their actions against all things held commonly, they put the Apostles in the same class with Stalinists and Maoists and Jesus on a par with Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Trotsky. Their method must be rejected for the lie that it is. Such lies cannot stand the light of day. It is blasphemy against the Lord and shall not stand.
You see, in America if you are not for capitalism, you are considered unloyal to God. The rich and powerful capitalists have paid to have everyone brainwashed through every means in their control, which is nearly everything, into feeling and thinking that God is a capitalist, which God is most certainly not. You don't have to take just my word for it. Ask God directly as you ought to.
Of course, you asking God directly is exactly what the capitalist-rich fear the most. It is why they seek so hard to control real Christianity from being able to speak out. Once you start doubting mammon worship and begin having faith in God, it will be all over for the capitalists expropriating and privatizing to themselves the inheritance of all, including your fair share, which in heaven is equal ownership of everything, which is small-c communism.
This is why by co-opting and twisting Christianity, the capitalists have contributed to the counter-productive concept that antichrist is the giving and sharing spirit that is small-c communism. This is how the capitalists have made Christianity seem violent and greedy to many in the world when Jesus was purely pacific and generous and consistent (non-hypocritical) of spirit.
Jesus was a communist, not a Communist
That's the truth. If you don't like it, then you aren't a Christian. Real Christians love it. He was truly classless or casteless in that he was both first and last. All those who aspire to Christlikeness must be of that mindset and spirit also.
Now, that is why the subtitle of this work is that Jesus was a small-c communist. The proper noun that is the particular political party is capitalized as in the "Communist Party." The noun "communism" as used to cover the entirety of living in the spirit of the kingdom of heaven, where all things are shared as freely received and freely given, is not the name of that political party or its ideology.
The capitalists and the Marxists would prefer that there not be this distinction. Each side of their argument would prefer that Jesus and all the monasteries and convents and other religious communes in the world be viewed as something other than small-c communist. The capitalists have always wanted to pollute the term "communist." They become apoplectic at the thought that giving and sharing all freely in the same loving spirit Jesus showed his friends might become a clear and plain focus of the general population as opposed to the current spirit the conservatives have drummed into the population of loathing that message of Jesus Christ. They hate Jesus and his message. They hate anyone who speaks it or tries to live it. Watch them and listen to them rail against everything Jesus lived for, died for, and yet still lives for. Look at their fruits.
It is a fact that among other contextually dependent terms, Jesus is a small-c communist. He is for freely and compassionately and joyfully giving and sharing all. He is a historicist. He is duty bound to fulfill and unfold the continuing prophecy. He is a non-Marxist. He is a pacifist and one with God.
There is No Such Thing as a Conservative-Republican Christian: Jesus is a small-c communist

To all homosexuals and their supporters, condoners, promoters, accepters, confirmers, and the like:
Unless you have something completely new that hasn't already been refuted, don't bother. It won't show up.
Rehashing what has already been refuted is a waste of everyone's time.
I'm not interested in casting pearls before swine, giving the children's bread to the dogs, or rebuking a forever scorner.
Learn or go away: There is zero wisdom in homosexuality. Homosexuality is wrong. Nothing any homosexual or anyone else can say or do will alter it. No one needs the Bible to know it either. It's prima facie. There's no such thing as an unrepentant-homosexual Christian. There never has been and never will be. That's the way of it. If you don't like it, change.
Do site searches on the various topics concerning homosexuality to determine if your "point" has already been handled. Currently, I provide three different search methods. The "WordPress" search is still the most thorough.
The same can be done regarding militarism, capitalism, coercion, and many other main issues and themes.
TREATMENT, RUDENESS, POLITENESS, OFFENSE, TRUTH
Many times over the course of this website's existence, I've had commentators complain about how I've treated them and/or others. Much less frequently has anyone taken exception to those commentator's comments. I assume that's because for one, I appear to be holding my own.
Often, I have raised the fact that Jesus called certain people "serpents." I've often also mentioned how he cleaned the temple with whip in hand, not that he used it on anyone. It certainly doesn't say that he did, and neither was he charged with it in the kangaroo court of the serpents who ended up murdering him by proxy just for, among other wonderful things, speaking out and speaking truth.
If I say that those who are engaged in serpentine behavior are the New Testament "serpents," then why take offense at my saying it rather than standing with Jesus and me about it?
If others don't like it that I treat others or them the way I have in this regard, why don't they take it up with the serpents and/or their own consciences and God?
If I wanted to catch flies, I'd use honey. I don't want flies on this level. Human beings aren't to be on the level of flies. If the truth is bitter as vinegar, then ask yourself why and learn to taste it as sweet but not sickeningly so. Why attack the message and messenger, as the serpents did, and become a serpent by so doing?
The issue is not "name calling" on some bratty, childish level. When Jesus said "serpents," he was not being as a brat. His level was completely adult to adults and children. He dared say that the children understood the clear and plain truth before the adults who, afterall, had been abused and socialized by the serpents. He still calls adults back. Those who hear him and know his voice (truth) turn around and do the other required things together as well.
What is it for a human being to be more serpentine or reptilian than what God initially gave? What was and remains Jesus's point? What is the reptilian brain versus the vastly higher human brain with its cerebral cortex and frontal and temporal lobes and specific areas of altruistic sentiments and abilities? What are those higher areas before they are damaged, before the communication pathways to them and between them are diminished by evil that is always some form of abuse? How are those pathways reestablished or created where they never were in this fleshly life?
The snake lays its eggs. The eggs hatch. The snake parent doesn't nurture or raise the offspring. It's every snake for itself. Human parents and family are not designed to be that way. Humans hand down the learning of nurturing. Many people get better training than do others, and many people have a greater aptitude for learning and predisposition for the higher and highest virtues. Many are less abused. People can change for the better and best though, no matter where the starting point. They only can't if they don't — if they reject it.
Snakes, of course, also come in venomous varieties and in strangling varieties, etc., such that they have been attackers and even devourers of humans for eons, guilty and innocent alike.
Now, Jesus knew that most people could relate to what were, and still are, largely considered "good" parenting skills and "good" "family" relations. He regularly used those concepts to get people to consider the wider implications for the whole of humanity. He did know that many would refuse. He let them go. He didn't demand secular or false-religion legislation to rein them in with threats of violence and imprisonment. He was not and is not coercive. Even his Church is a voluntary place to be.
What he still teaches (through the written words in the New Testament and as those connect with the Old and also teaches through the Holy Spirit he definitely sent as he said he would) is, among many other things, that "good" is vastly better than has been commonly accepted and that real "family" is everyone left after all the rest have rejected the higher and highest good. He raised the standards far above the Old Testament and far above the "modern" standard.
The American Empire and the American people in general aren't even touching the hem of his garment, let alone even attempting to stand upright and side-by-side with him.
I point out that Jesus was, and is, a Real Liberal Christian. He is the one who brought back this censored truth that is the light. After he had spoken it and lived it and was murdered for doing so, the censors set about to re-censor it and did. They couldn't put it out though — couldn't completely extinguish the truth. I wouldn't be saying it now again with all credit to God, just as Jesus, if they had been able to completely block it.
I point out that each of those terms ("real," "liberal," and "Christian," along with "Church") are actually redundant terms — synonyms that are so close that they become one. The term "liberal" here is not the common usage, which common usage is a deliberate corruption of the term. There is no harm in real liberalism. There is no vileness in it. There is only beneficence. "Real" may be understood as the opposite of false-hearted, dark side, and dead of the Holy Spirit. Christian is both real and liberal in those senses. To arrive at living, doing, being those full senses requires what Jesus lives, does, and is in the highest. Finally, the Church is the whole.
Who are they who want to drag it down, censor it, work against it, lessen it, ignore it, etc.? Well, who sides with Jesus and who sides against him? Did the serpents side with him then? Do they now?
We call war-mongers "hawks." We call "peacemakers" blessed and "doves." Why do the hawks not take offense at "hawks" but do take offense at "serpents"? "Hawks" is not yet as telling to the general public, but I must tell you that all hawks are serpents. Why do some say, "Greed is good" but take offense at "serpents"? I tell you there is no difference between the selfish and the serpents. Why do people take offense at serpents when they do not take offense at homosexuality? I tell you the homosexual spirit also comes out from the dark side. It is a choice. It is harmful. Many are abused with it. Many never overcome it. Their very brain matter is transformed by it. Then they claim it is good when it remains confusion and definitely wrong and harmful.
Many arguments were put forth in support of tolerance. I understood that Jesus "tolerated," as in he did not execute wrath but rather told the truth and let the blind follow the blind (blind to the truth) into the ditch of their own making. I have watched while the movement has been corrupted into condoning what was once only to be tolerated. I have watched further while it has moved from condoning to promoting even to the youngest children to get to them before the truth does. I have seen evil at work, and I sound the alarm. I face censorship and other negative reactions for it.
As the American Empire claims to be a light to the world, it murders innocent babies by Hellfire missiles fired from predator drones controlled by armchair, video-gaming serpents in uniform. It tortures those who are not even suspects. It spies on its own without even probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It lies its way into wars for spoils and control. It neglects its poor, whom it treads down for the sakes of the superrich — for the sake of the massive flow of mammon from the bottom up (no trickledown — trickledown is a farce and always has been). All is claimed to be okay in America though — that America is headed in the right direction — because soon, even "don't tell, don't ask" will be a thing of the quaint past and homosexuals may be able to sleep together and have sex in the barracks with the "blessing" of the Empire while they practice murdering the innocent for the sake of homosexual, greedy plutocrats who own them and who, in turn, are owned by the dark-side spirit named by God and Jesus as Satan.
Whose side are you on? I speak truth to warn. I don't tell the secular government what to do other than occasionally to say what at least would be less hypocritical within their fallen, unenlightened system. I do so for spiritual reasons. What I want is the Christian Commons.
Now, if you submit a comment:
What you write here against the Real Liberal Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ will mark you in the Biblical sense unless you show that you have turned and are repenting in time to escape the damnation of your own choosing. That's the way of it. Don't be tempted by the devil to stand opposed to the call of righteousness. Overcome such evil temptation. Help others to help yet others to come to righteous behavior through-and-through.
Check out how even after reading this, people will still take it out of context and twist it to an evil end.
