📜✨ “Foreign to Scripture? (Relics)” — apparently we’re doing a surprise Friday-night Peter’s Barque drop. This song has been a LONG time coming. Relics have been sitting in my song queue for ages. But then the internet spent the last few days losing its collective mind over the veneration...

📜💧 NEW SONG: “Mud & Mercy (Lourdes)” — God put a spring in the dirt (and hope in the place you’d least expect). Feb 11 is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, and the story is as Catholic as it gets: a poor, overlooked teenage girl (St. Bernadette), a rocky grotto outside town, a Lady who doesn’t flatter the powerful… and a call to prayer, penance, and the Rosary. And then the detail that makes everyone roll their eyes—until it doesn’t: “Go drink and wash.” So Bernadette scratches at the ground, gets mud, drinks it… people mock… and a spring begins to flow. Lourdes isn’t a vibe. It’s a reminder: God loves to meet us where we’re low, where we’re hurting, where we’re unimpressive—then He makes something clean and living come out of it anyway. 🎶 “Mud & Mercy (Lourdes)” — a track for anyone who needs hope, anyone carrying suffering, and anyone who’s forgotten that grace doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. #Catholic #OurLadyOfLourdes #Lourdes #CatholicMusic #PetersBarque #Marian #Rosary #CatholicFaith #WorldDayoftheSick 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Website: X: Instagram: TikTok: Facebook: YouTube: Rumble: 🎧 LISTEN Apple Music: Spotify: ☕ SUPPORT Ko-fi: Just a reminder: I’m not a musician—I’m a catechist trying my best to teach the faith with the tools I have.

At a Q&A, John MacArthur is asked about Christian nationalism. The kingdom of God is not of this world. Jesus said that. He said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would [fight].” His kingdom is not of this world. The kingdom of this world is a separate world; they’re not linked together. Let me say it another way: Nothing that happens in any nation, whether it’s a Communist nation, a Muslim nation, or a “quasi-Christian” nation, or an atheistic nation—nothing in that nation politically, socially has anything to do with the advancement of the kingdom of God, because the kingdom of God is separate from that system. God, in His sovereignty, is building His church, “and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it,” Jesus said. So the idea that you should link up some political effort, some political process, some social process, some gain of power or influence in a culture as part of the advance of Christianity is alien to Christianity. You never have our Lord approaching anything like that, nor the apostles, and particularly the apostle Paul. He sought to gain no favor with the Roman Empire whatsoever, or for that matter, with any other of the rulers that he ran into during his life. Now, that is not to say that we are indifferent to what happens in the nation. We’ve been talking about that the last couple of Sunday mornings. We have to be the people who uphold righteousness. When we come to vote, we want to vote for that which is the most righteous option. Obviously, we can’t vote in righteousness, but we have to vote in a way that reflects our commitment to the righteousness of God. So we couldn’t possibly elect somebody who was an abortionist, somebody who was LGBTQ or LGBTQ-affirming, or any other deviation from God’s righteous moral standard. So it gets harder, doesn’t it, nowadays, because even sometimes when politicians are more conservative and anti-abortion, they may be sinful and wicked in some other categories, and it’s very hard to find out who is really honest and who is simply dishonest and seeking power. But in the end, we do what we can with the understanding that the responsibility of the church is not to advance the kingdom of this world. That’s a faulty viewpoint. Christian nationalism is usually tied to what is called post-millennialism, and that is the view that the church, somehow, by influencing the culture, can bring in the kingdom of Christ. In other words, it’s the idea not that Christ returns and sets up His kingdom, but that the church establishes His kingdom and then hands it to Him. That is not what Scripture teaches. What Scripture teaches is what we’re learning from the book of Revelation. Things are going to get worse and worse and worse. And the end of human history is not the church triumphant, reigning in the world and taking over the structures of human kingdoms; that’s not what happens. At the end of human history, the believers are persecuted and murdered, and that’s the very opposite of what Christian nationalism would anticipate. So we believe the Bible teaches that things get worse and worse, headed toward the wrath of God, which we’re seeing in Revelation, and then our Lord returns, Himself, to establish His kingdom is clearly what we read in the book of Revelation. OK?

After Saint Anthony died on 13 June 1231, his body was buried at the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua. When his tomb was opened in 1981, an official scientific examination of his remains was undertaken on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of his death. The examination found that the skeleton was largely complete, although some parts were missing because relics had been removed and distributed for veneration over the centuries.Scientists examined the bones to determine details about Anthony's physical characteristics and health. The studies indicated that he was approximately 5 feet 5 inches (about 167 cm) tall and that his skeleton belonged to a man who had suffered various physical stresses during his lifetime. One particularly important discovery was that Saint Anthony's lower jaw was preserved, along with other major skeletal remains. His tongue and larynx are preserved separately among the Basilica's most famous relics.Most of Saint Anthony's skeletal remains are preserved in the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, while particular relics-including his incorrupt tongue, vocal apparatus and jaw-are displayed separately in the Basilica's Reliquary Chapel. The scientific examinations are important historically because they allow researchers to study the actual physical remains of a medieval saint while the Catholic Church continues to preserve and venerate them as sacred relics. St Anthony of Padua pray for us 🙏🏾 Source:roque71142

Francis Schaffer in 1982 answering the question of what has gone wrong with evangelicals that allowed the Christian consensus to be lost in our nation: "I think a false view of spirituality, a Platonic view of spirituality which follows Plato, but certainly isn't biblical. And that is that spirituality is shut up to a small area of life...in this view, everything is worldly that isn't in this little box of spirituality. Now, as I look at the Bible, this is exactly 1000% backwards. There are certain sinful things that God tells us are sinful, and we ought to take those and set them aside...and then, everything else is spiritual." Robertson: "Elaborate on that. Everything then in the world, because you're saying that Jesus has a plan and a worldview and a purpose. He's not just God of the church; He's God of everything." Schaeffer: "Absolutely. He made it. And one day, the wonder is, Jesus is coming back and is going to be the redemption of all things...God is interested in the totality of life—art, music, literature, but also the political life. So true spirituality means the Lordship of Christ in the totality of life and not just a small part of it." Robertson: "The liberal press, particularly, would try to keep conservative Christians or evangelicals out of political life, and there's this great pressure to make fun of you when you get in politics, and they don't think it should be. And there are many Christians who say yes to the same thing. Now, what do you say to them?" Schaeffer: "Well, they're wrong." Robertson: "Christians should do what? Run for office, vote, register, get involved? What ought they to do?" Schaeffer: "Well, we ought to realize that in the viewpoint of the Scripture, life is not divided up into watertight compartments, that all of life should be lived for the Lordship of Christ. Now, what exact portion each one of us should have is according to the Lord's leading for us...but the rule to lay down is that Christians have a responsibility for the society in which they live. We're to be the salt. We're to be the light...By our silence, by refusing to be what God tells us to be, the light of this culture, the salt of the culture, we are the ones responsible before God for the mess we're in."

📜✨ NEW SONG: “Call Your Mother” — The Track That Finally Explains Why Revelation 12 Isn’t About a Committee On January 1 — the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God in the United States — we’re dropping a song that cuts straight through the confusion around the most misunderstood woman in Scripture. Because every year, someone insists: “Revelation 12 isn’t Mary — it’s Israel!” “Or it’s the Church!” “Or it’s symbolism!” But the vision gives us four figures: the Woman, the Child, the Angel, and the Dragon. The Child is Christ. The Dragon is Satan. The Angel is Michael. Three singular beings. And somehow the Woman — the one giving birth to the Messiah — is supposed to be… a crowd? That makes no sense. And it gets better: Psalm 45 already showed us the Queen standing at the King’s right hand, arrayed in gold. A strange psalm if it’s just about an earthly monarch’s wife… but perfectly normal if it’s about the Mother of the Messiah. Revelation 12 is not a cosmic group photo. It’s a family portrait. Christ the Son. Satan the enemy. Michael the defender. Mary the Mother. And then comes the line most people never notice: the Dragon goes off to wage war on her offspring — those who keep God’s commandments and hold the testimony of Jesus. If that’s you… she is your Mother. 🎶 “Call Your Mother” — a track for converts, cradle Catholics, Scripture nerds, theologians, and anyone who has ever wondered why Jesus’ final gift from the Cross was not a metaphor… but a Mom. 🔖 HASHTAGS #CallYourMother #PetersBarque #CatholicMusic #Catholic #BibleStudy #Revelation12 #MaryMotherOfGod #Solemnity #Theology #CatholicTruth #ApostolicFaith #CatholicTikTok #CatholicInstagram #CatholicTwitter 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Website: X: Instagram: TikTok: Facebook: 🎧 LISTEN TO THE MUSIC Apple Music: Spotify: ☕ SUPPORT THE PROJECT

⭕The End of the false Dilemma The Quran "The last preserved revelation" dominant over The Torah and Gospel 5:48. And We revealed to you the Book, with the truth, confirming the Book that preceded it and superseding it.. The False Claim "Fake Dilemma" : Christianity or "Constantinity" Claim that Quran confirmed the Bible, while The Bible is a collection of books written by around 40 different authors, composed over approximately 1,500 years, It's a man made history book mixed between the truth and falsehood, it's not the Torah or Gospel (Muslim's can easily show many of contradictions in bible) There is no book called the ‘Bible’ mentioned in the Quran, but The Quran confirms that some of the People of the Book know the truth but conceal its signs and verses, and this was proved to be true by many scripture scholers that converted to Islam like: Samaw’al ibn Yahya; A former Jewish rabbi who embraced Islam, And His famous book: “Silencing the Jews” The first Bible "Codex Sinaiticus" is a book that was compiled in Greek about five years after the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. Christians theologians confirm that the Gospel should be in Aramaic, and the Bible contains Ugly Greek phrases, which indecat to a bad translation from Aramaic to Greek "I attached a video about it, soon I will make separate tread about Ugly Greek in the Bible, God's willing" The current bible was ‘pick-and-choose’ process. They rejected any writings that directly denied the divinity of Christ, such as the Arian writings and the Gospel of Thomas "essentially rejecting several early gospels" and most of these books and manuscripts were burned, by Constantine forces, that's why it's impossible to find a carbon dated manuscript from the first century. Question : Where is the true Gospel of Jesus that contains God’s direct revelation, where's the original scripture? A: This Question should be directed to Christians and Jews, not Muslims, and even if they found it, the Quran dominant over it Question : Where does it say in the Quran that the Gospel and Torah were corrupted? A: About the corruption and distortion of the scriptures, Here's the verses : Quran 2:75 Do you covet [the hope, O believers], that they would believe for you while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah and then distort the Torah after they had understood it while they were knowing? Quran 2:79 So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allah," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn. Quran 2:159 Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse, Quran 2:174 Indeed, they who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except the Fire. And Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment. Quran 3:78 And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah. And they speak untruth about Allah while they know. Quran 3:187 And [mention, O Muhammad], when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased. Quran 4:46 Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages and say, "We hear and disobey" and "Hear but be not heard" and "Ra'ina," twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], "We hear and obey" and "Wait for us [to understand]," it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few. Quran 5:13 So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard. They distort words from their [proper] usages and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good. Quran 5:14 And from those who say, "We are Christians" We took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded. So We caused among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. And Allah is going to inform them about what they used to do. Quran 6:91 And they did not appraise Allah with true appraisal when they said, "Allah did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, "Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much. And you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, "Allah [revealed it]." Then leave them in their [empty] discourse, amusing themselves. Quran 7:162 But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing. Quran 16:118 And to those who are Jews We have prohibited that which We related to you before. And We did not wrong them [thereby], but they were wronging themselves. Quran 2:101 And when a messenger from Allah came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know [what it contained].

**📜✨ NEW SONG: “Christmas Isn’t Pagan” — A Musical Exorcism of the Dumbest Internet Myth” Every December, like clockwork, the same meme crawls out of the digital swamp: “Christmas is pagan!” “Christians stole the winter solstice!” “The tree is pagan! The date is pagan! Everything is pagan!” It spreads like glitter — loud, annoying, and impossible to clean up. But here’s the thing most people shouting this have never actually checked: There is zero ancient source saying Christians borrowed Christmas from pagans. None. Not a shred. Not a sentence. Not a footnote. The early Christians weren’t browsing Pinterest trying to reinvent Saturnalia. They were busy surviving persecutions, burying martyrs, and preaching the Gospel in a world hostile to their existence. Meanwhile, the December 25th date didn’t come from pagans — it came from a very old Christian belief: that Jesus was conceived on the same calendar day He would later die. Ancient Jews often linked the great works of God with the same yearly date. Early Christians inherited the idea. So: March 25 → Annunciation Nine months later → December 25 → Nativity Not pagan. Not borrowed. Not syncretized. Just straight-up Christian theology about the Incarnation. Even the tree isn’t pagan. There’s no ancient pagan cult of the evergreen Christmas tree. There are medieval Christians using evergreens to symbolize eternal life and the Paradise Tree from Genesis, but nothing resembling “Thor’s Winter Shrub of Human Sacrifice” like TikTok claims. This song is a little gift-wrapped correction for the internet: No, Christmas is not Saturnalia. No, Christians didn’t steal it. No, your edgy coworker didn’t uncover a conspiracy. And yes — it is completely okay to celebrate the birth of the God-Man without checking with ancient druids first. 🎶 “Christmas Isn’t Pagan” — a track for the history nerds, the theology lovers, the tired Catholics correcting Facebook relatives, the converts defending the faith, and everyone who’s sick of Wikipedia-level misinformation passing as scholarship. #Catholic #Christmas #Incarnation #NotPagan #ChristianHistory #CatholicTruth #PetersBarque #BibleStudy #Theology #MerryChristmas 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE X: Instagram: TikTok: Facebook:

A Michigan Catholic deacon stands up for Muslims in Dearborn after a Christian nationalist rally called for their removal from the country: “To the men and women protesting in the name of Jesus, hurling hate at our Muslim brothers and sisters — not in his name, and certainly not on my watch. “I count many Muslims as my friends, my neighbors, my associates, and yes, my barber. Men and women of integrity, of family, and of faith. We may not be brothers in faith, but we are certainly and absolutely brothers and sisters in humanity. “And freedom of religion is not a footnote to being an American. It is a cornerstone. The same First Amendment that protects my right to go to Mass protects your right to the mosque. “It grieves me that in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace is being used as a weapon to spread fear, intolerance, and hate. That is not the gospel. That is not the cross. And that certainly is not of Christ. “So let me be clear. In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke this spirit of hatred and division. Scripture does not leave us confused about this. We are called to rebuke evil, and tonight, this is evil — using the name of the Savior who dined with outcasts to cast out our neighbors, good people.* “John tells us exactly how Christians should be known: by this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another — and your neighbor. “He makes it even plainer: if anyone says “I love God” and hates his brother, he is a liar. “So no. You do not speak for me. You do not speak for my church. And you do not speak for Christ when you chant hate at people of God, no matter the faith. “To my Muslim friends in this room and in this city: you are welcome here. You belong here. Your freedom to worship is my freedom to worship, and I will stand for it because my faith demands it. “We can disagree — and we probably will — on theology, and still defend each other’s dignity. That’s not weakness. That’s Christianity. That is American.”

"Men do not stay for platitudes. Platitudes do not carry a soul through the winter. When the child is in the ground, when the marriage is in ruins, when the diagnosis comes back and the floor drops out of the world, no one was ever held up by 'be kind and stay positive.' They are held, if they are held at all, by something with iron in it. By a witness that the heavens are real and open, that God still speaks, that the dead are not lost, that there is power on the earth greater than the darkness. The early Saints had that, and they knew they had it, because they had felt it in their own bodies. They were healed under hands. They spoke in tongues. They saw visions and buried their children in the certainty of resurrection and crossed a continent on the strength of a fire they could not have faked. That is what converts a man and that is what keeps him, not a well managed self-help program, but the living evidence that what we preach is true. So the cure is not complicated, and it is not new. It is to be again the Church of our fathers. Stop apologizing. Stop trimming the glorious truth into something the world will pat on the head. Speak with authority and with the hammer, the way Joseph spoke, the way Brigham spoke, the way men speak when they actually believe the heavens have opened over them. Reach again for the gifts of the Spirit, and stop pretending they were a founding era curiosity, because a testimony built on argument crumbles in the first storm and a testimony built on the manifest power of God does not. And above all, live as though the heavens are open, because they are, and they have only ever felt closed to a people who stopped expecting them to answer. The Saints are not leaving because the gospel is too much. They are leaving because we have made it too little. Make it glorious and demanding again, and watch who comes back through the door. The hungry have not gone anywhere. We simply stopped setting the table."

Tucker might want to spend less time with the Quran and more time with the Bible. So for the 100th time, here is biblical proof, historical proof both Catholic and Protestant that he is lying. On purpose. To push an agenda. One that is at odds with the Bible. To say the Jews are not God’s chosen people is not just wrong. It is a denial of what the Bible clearly teaches, and it shows a failure to understand the foundations of Christianity itself. In the Old Testament, God declares Israel’s chosenness beyond dispute. Deuteronomy 7:6 says, “The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” In Genesis 17:7, God tells Abraham, “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you.” Everlasting means permanent. Jeremiah 31:36 makes the point in even stronger terms: “Only if the sun, moon, and stars vanish will Israel ever cease to be a nation before me.” If the stars are still shining tonight, then Israel’s covenant still stands. The New Testament affirms this truth just as clearly. Paul raises the question in Romans 11:1, “Did God reject his people?” His answer is immediate: “By no means! God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew.” Later in Romans 11:28–29 he writes, “As far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.” Irrevocable means exactly what it says. No commentator, pundit, or modern voice has the authority to reverse what God Himself has declared. Jesus said in John 4:22, “Salvation is from the Jews.” That is not a side note. It is central to understanding who He is and how God’s plan unfolds. Christianity does not replace Israel. It is joined to Israel. Paul explains this in Romans 11:17–18 when he warns Gentile believers not to boast against Israel: “You, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others… do not consider yourself superior to those other branches.” The Church shares in the promises given to Israel, but those promises remain rooted in the people to whom God first gave them. Church history confirms what Scripture teaches. The early Fathers acknowledged Israel’s election. The Catholic Catechism teaches that “to the Jews belong the covenants, the law, the worship, the promises, and from them is the Christ” (CCC 839–840). Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate solemnly declared that God’s covenant with the Jewish people has never been revoked. Protestant voices like John Calvin, commenting on Romans 11, also affirmed that God did not cut off His covenant with Abraham’s descendants. So when Tucker Carlson claims the Jews are not God’s chosen people, he is not correcting elites or offering a bold insight. He is simply revealing that he does not understand basic Christianity. The Bible is plain, the teaching of the apostles is plain, and the witness of the Church through history is plain. God’s covenant with Israel is everlasting, His gifts and His call are irrevocable, and Christians are grafted into that truth. As Paul put it in Romans 11:29: “God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” Anyone who denies that is not defending the faith. They are contradicting it at its root. And when Tucker dares to speak as if he knows whom God has chosen, his arrogance knows no bounds.

I upset the Orthobros on here when I posted that the Wilsons aren’t Christian. They said “how dare you declare whether or not someone is a Christian!” Here is my response (watch til the end for the most ironic part of all of this): Scripture itself tells us that it is OBVIOUS who is saved and that we can discern who is and who is not a child of God. “By this the children of God and the children of the devil are OBVIOUS: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother and sister.” 1 John 3:10 Yes, Christians will still continue to sin, as Romans 7 tell us. Sanctification is certainly messy, there’s no denying that. But someone who has been supernaturally made new by the Holy Spirit will have a real heart change. Regeneration is not an inconsequential experience. It will be obvious to people. The supernatural work of the Holy Spirit is a powerful one. Someone who is made a child of God will bear the family resemblance. No one can be born again and continue to comfortably stay in the mud with the pigs. They might occasionally still fall into the mud, they might still have dirt on their clothes even after they get up, but they will hate it when they do and will live in a humble manner before God crying “have mercy on me, a sinner.” They will pursue righteousness and have a deep deep love for others. And when they are confronted about their sin by others, they repent. So yes, we can look at someone living in a hateful unrighteous arrogant manner for years on end, even after being confronted about it, and determine that they are not of the Lord.

📜✨ NEW SONG: “#AshTag” — Ash Wednesday isn’t a “holy day of obligation”… but Sunday is. Yep. That’s the joke. (And also… kind of the point.) Ash Wednesday is the day the Church puts a sign on our forehead that basically says: “I’m not God. I’m dust. I need mercy.” And every year someone objects: “Didn’t Jesus say not to fast ‘to be seen’?” Yes. He did. And He also said: if you do it for attention, congrats—you got your attention. Reward received. Receipt printed. But ashes aren’t a flex. They’re not “look how holy I am.” They’re “remember you will die… so repent and believe.” It’s communal. It’s public witness. It’s the family admitting the same thing together: we’re needy, we’re mortal, and we’re coming home. So here’s your friendly reminder: If you showed up for the ashes—awesome. Now show up for the Resurrection. Because Sundays aren’t “optional side quests.” They’re the main event. 🎶 “#AshTag” — a snarky-but-reverent Lent kickoff for converts, cradle Catholics, and anyone who’s ever treated Sunday like “maybe.” #AshWednesday #Lent #Catholic #CatholicFaith #PetersBarque #CatholicMusic #BibleStudy #Catholicism #Repent #Fasting #Abstinence #SundayObligation #ChristianMusic 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Website: X: Instagram: TikTok: Facebook: YouTube: Rumble: 🎧 LISTEN Apple Music: Spotify: ☕ SUPPORT Ko-fi: Just a reminder: I’m not a musician—I’m a catechist trying my best to teach the faith with the tools at my disposal.

Christian brothers and sisters, you need to watch this video with clear eyes. This is not conspiracy theory. These are Israeli officials, including Benjamin Netanyahu in the 1980s, openly discussing ambitions for a vastly expanded Greater Israel territory that includes not just Gaza and the West Bank, but significant portions of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and beyond. Jesus warned us repeatedly about the Pharisees and their traditions. He called them a “brood of vipers” and said they nullified the word of God for the sake of their own traditions. The religion practiced today as Judaism is not the faith of Moses and the Prophets, it is the direct continuation of the Pharisees and the Talmud. The Old Testament prophets repeatedly warned Israel that when they turned from God, they would become a curse to the nations around them. The pattern we see in this video the relentless drive for territorial expansion, the supremacist ideology, and the willingness to destabilize entire regions, is completely consistent with that ancient warning. As Christians, we are commanded to “love our neighbor.” We are called to be peacemakers. Yet we are told that supporting modern Israel is somehow a religious duty. This video shows exactly what that support actually looks like in practice: the destruction and displacement of entire nations while American Christians are expected to foot the bill and remain silent. The New Testament is clear “They are not all Israel who are of Israel.” The covenant was always conditional on faithfulness. The idea that modern Israel has some divine right to conquer its neighbors is not historic Christianity it is a 20th century theological innovation called Christian Zionism. Jesus said by their fruits you shall know them. Look at the fruits. This should concern every Christian who still believes the words of Jesus matter more than political alliances. The same spirit that opposed Christ 2,000 years ago has not changed. It has simply taken on new political form. Watch the video. Then ask yourself honestly. Is this what the Kingdom of God looks like?

The wrath of God was poured out on Jesus. It was a free gift in the sense that we did nothing to deserve it, "yet while we were still sinners Christ died for us." But it was not free in that it came at great cost to Jesus, for He suffered and gave up His life to fulfill God's righteousness and wrath, so God would be just in having mercy on us. And following Christ it NOT free for us afterwards either, and this is another area I feel like the Western church never disciples people in: what it means to be a genuine Christian after converting. Paul says that "if Christ has not risen from the dead, we are of all people most to be pitied." There is great cost in this life to following Christ when Christianity isn't fake and used as a means to better pursue the idols of the American dream. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26-30, 33 Jesus says a very similar thing in John, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him." John 12:23-26 Jesus literally says, "I'm going to go die. Now come follow me!" I genuinely do want to die as a martyr instead of growing old. Growing old, being in my sinful body decades longer and dying in a diaper sounds far worse than dying for the name of my Lord and Savior on the battlefield, which surely would please my King and store up much fruit for my eternity with Jesus. Genuine Christianity has no idols. It counts everything else as worthless compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord. And genuine Christians abhor sin. Having to walk in this world with our sinful body attached to us, like a putrid corpse of a rotting dead man tied to our backs, makes the life of the Christian a violent war zone within. Fighting my flesh brings me to tears almost daily before my Lord and I cry, "Oh wretched man that I am, who will save me from this body of death?" Not to mention fighting the powers and principalities that rule this present darkness. Surely Satan torments Christians and not objects of wrath because Satan is afraid that he only has this life to torment Christians, whereas he has eternity to torment the rest. The only hope we have is the Holy Spirit and the fact that we have living within us "all the fullness of Christ" and "The same power that raised Christ from the dead" A real fear of the Lord must be an ingredient to obedience and part of the power to overcome sin. Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Psalm 25:12-14 Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land. The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. Psalm 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; Fear of the Lord is taught in the New Testament as well, but not much in the modern Church to our own peril. "So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied." Acts 9:31 "So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him." Acts 10:34-35 There will be no revival in the church until we start preaching the full character of God and the fear of the Lord returns. Yes God is good. Yes God is merciful. Yes God is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, but to teach that that is all that God is, is to lie about Him. For He is also righteous, just, holy, fearful, and full of wrath towards all who walk in sin. And there is no doubt in my mind teaching only the attributes of God that we think our congregations will like encourages Christians to walk in sin. The balance must return.
