02/07/26 KNOW THE REAL ENEMY

I know my first statement (and probably the rest of this post as well) will fall on some deaf ears or dead brain cells.

(first statement)
American slavery (along with African slavery, European slavery, Asian slavery, and racial oppression was and is wrong. (Trust me, the mindless, the uneducated, the haters of truth will not remember this statement if they read my next statements.

(the rest of this post)
We are on the verge of the first American Civil War. The supposed Civil War of the 1860s was not a Civil War.
There is an insurrection in America, but it was not January 6, 2021.

To liken the events of today's actual acts of insurrection to the War Between the States is absurd and contradicts the facts of history, demographics, economics, the Constitution, and the changes to the Constitution after the War of Northern Aggression.

For those who have forgotten my initial statement, let me remind you, American slavery (initially allowed in the U.S. Constitution, in the North and in the South) was a travesty, and it needed to be ended... AND IT WAS.

Though slavery became a main focus during the 1860s, it was not the legal, political, constitutional, economic, or moral reason for the War Between the States. Southern States did not invade or attack Northern States to force any economic, cultural, or regional action on any other State, unlike the burning and killing that travels from State to State today. There was no attempt to turn any other State into a Communist dictatorship or attempt to overthrow local laws or oppress other belief systems.

What took place in the pre-war South was nothing like the lawless, unconstitutional attack on society and legitimate government that is taking place today.

Just in case you don't remember, I have stated that American slavery was wrong, and I am glad that it is gone. But it was not unconstitutional, it was not illegal. In fact, when Lincoln made the Emancipation Proclamation, it was not intended to end slavery or set the slaves free. It was specifically aimed at Southern slavery to justify the invasion of Northern troops into the South. Don't shake your head at me. Read the Proclamation. Read the facts from the contemporary writings of that day. Read the writings of the general public in the South. Only 1.2% of the southern population was involved with slavery. Just like any other evil, it was driven by a wicked desire for wealth. The love of money is the root of all evil.

Present-day revisionist history, spouted by highly schooled, but ignorant people (Educators, Generals, Politicians, Media), who have been misled by the propaganda of twisted history, uses the false representation of Southern history, Southern culture, Southern morality, Southern intelligence as a supposed foundation for the coming, but actual, Civil War in America.

Here is what we need to realize. This country is being (or has been) taken over by enemies of freedom, faith, family, and finances. We have been invaded, sold out, overthrown by anti-American forces, beliefs, morals, religion, standards, relationships, and social mores. And it is being done by presenting Southerners (and their descendants) of the 1860s in a false image. Instead of rightly naming the enemy religion, the enemy nations, the enemy politics, the enemy values of the actual enemies we face, we are being turned against one another, North and South, White and Black, Male and Female, "Christian" and non-believers.

If I thought that God wanted me to stop this overthrow, I wouldn't be sitting back, letting the State, organizations, or evil political platforms abuse and paganize and mutilate the children of America.

If I believed that my God-given responsibility was to preserve America (rather than to reach and evangelize the unsaved in America), then I would not sit around fussing, fuming, and complaining. I would put feet to my beliefs.

I am totally opposed to the sick, Sinsanity, Idiocracy, filthy religions, including Statism, Socialism, Communism, Wokism, and a score of other perversionisms. However, I am committed to the Biblical call to follow Jesus, and the New Testament.

Followers of Christ are called to lay down their lives for Christ and other people. We are not called to shed blood. But if I claimed to believe in taking up the sword of steel, I would not be sitting around shooting off my mouth.

Standing for God and for good is costly and it will not win the temporal conflict. But it is the only real solution to the sin problem. Jesus sent His disciples to make disciples, not to spill blood.

Probably, we, as a nation and as a world, are too far gone to turn around. I think that the tipping point has already been passed. But since I am not a prophet, I could be wrong, and I hope I am wrong. But when the ship reaches the point of no return, it cannot be righted, baled, or saved. It is then time to put on the life jackets and man the lifeboats.

The only hope for this sinking ship is for people to turn back to Jesus.
And the only way people will abandon this lost ship of fools is to call on Jesus.
And the only way people will call on Jesus is when men and women who trust only in Him "cry aloud and spare not."

There is already a war. But only one side is taking the Sword of the Spirit (the word of God) and rushing into the fray, regardless of the cost. "Stand up o, men of God."

And let me remind you. Slavery was not ended by the supposedly sympathetic "anti-slavery" Northerners. The ending of the American slave system was brought about by Christian abolitionists on both sides of the Atlantic, in the North and the South, before and during the war, wielding the Sword of the Spirit.

None of human ills came about because of Christ followers.
All of human ills are confronted by Christ followers.
