Consevative Puritans vs. liberal Lutherans

[hangover]

Actually the opposite is true. The party of Lincoln was the first liberal (in the true sense) political experiment. Democrats gained power in the 20th century when FDR refused to step down like a gentleman after two terms and used gestapo tactics to incarcerate innocent Japanese American citizens. The democrat party is the party of slavery and lynching and KKK violence.

The KKK votes republican, not democrat. They are the base of the GOP. The "red" states are the home of the KKK. Lincoln was a bigot that tried to deport all the blacks after the war. He killed 750,000 Americans for the profit of corporate business. Your attempt to deflect attention from your own bigotry didn't work. You sir, are no gentleman.

The KKK has been a long time Democrat supporter. It was started by Southern Democrats In fact, the only KKK representative in recent history was a long standing Senator for the Democrat party.

But hey if you want to lie about that and then say someone else isnt a gentlemen, it's your call.

 

[theword]

Republicans are the remnant of the Puritans, Democrats are the remnant of the Lutherans.
Martin Luther was the founder of the Protestants. John Calvin was the founder of the Puritans.
Lutherans believe that all men were created equal. Puritans believe in predestination.

Puritans believe that God predestined certain people to be his "chosen" that will go to heaven, all others are destined to go to hell. The "chosen" are the prosperous, the "wealthy". And you must work to be "wealthy" because it is Godly to do so. And anyone that is not prosperous is condemned by God. The Puritans believe that God made certain people to be slaves for the "wealthy".

Lutherans, believing that all are created equal, strive free the slaves from the yoke of the prosperous. They try to break the the rigged game of capitalism that chains the slaves to a life of poverty. Lutherans were the original liberals, liberating the masses from the slavery of Catholicism, that kept everyone in the dark ages for a thousand years.

Copernicus, Glalileo, and Newton were liberals that questioned Catholic dogma. And now that that dogma has been exposed as false, the Vatican has adopted science to prove God. The Vatican now has it's own observatory. And the Pope is now a liberal!...And the Puritans hate him.

ALL God's people are stupid and without knowledge to know who they are within His mind. All flesh will perish during this age so that man's spirit can be freed from their wicked partner that kept them in the dark.

Jeremiah 10
10: But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
11: Thus shall you say to them: "The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens."
12: It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
13: When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
14: Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols; for his images are false, and there is no breath in them.
15: They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.

All the things of this world that man has built will be destroyed soon.

2 Peter 3
10: But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

Zephaniah 1
18: Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD. In the fire of his jealous wrath, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full, yea, sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Nahum 1
4: He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, he dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither, the bloom of Lebanon fades.
5: The mountains quake before him, the hills melt; the earth is laid waste before him, the world and all that dwell therein.

To me, a God of this magnitude wouldn't need Puritans, or Lutherans, or Catholic priests at Nicaea, or Mohamed, or Jewish rabbis, to write down those words in a book called the bible, or Koran, or Torah. He could just speak the truth, and there wouldn't be any question about what the truth is.
To me, God's will can't be refuted. Everything IS the way God wants it to be, otherwise God isn't in control.
To me, God is the essence of truth, love, wisdom, power and creation. God only allows the opposite to exist as an alternative choice, which is nothing more than a learning tool. All of life is a learning process on the journey back to God. Everything that is, comes from God, and therefore goes back to where it came from. Usually it takes many incarnations to learn all the lessons.
I don't buy the fire and damnation of a petty jealous God. I think God is far above that. But karma brings on hell until that lesson is learned. "You reap what you sow." Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand. If heaven is in the sky then the birds are before you."
Every choice made, determines whether one is in heaven or hell every day. Heaven is not in the future, it's here and now. And everyone chooses where they are every moment. But the fallible human mind falls short far too often. By condemning anyone, you condemn yourself, and therefore put yourself in hell, until you forgive.
I will not be chained and enslaved by religious dogma.
