The definition of Baal Capitalism

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/04/30/ex-im_welfare_for_commodity_traders_and_china_126433.html

A recent Cato Institute paper found export subsidies put some industries and firms “at a competitive disadvantage.”

That is the definition of the government picking winners and losers.

      How the worship of Baal breaks the Ten Commandments

1.    Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Tyrants do not believe in the true God.  Their god is Tyranny.  They cause their subjects to worship and be dependent on them, rather than God.

 

      Solutions

1.    God is omnipotent and therefore can solve any problem.  He may choose to use the solutions listed below, but he often provides in ways you could have never imagined.  The poor should cry out to God for help, rather than depending on Baal.

2.    If Baal wasn’t so oppressive with the way it steals money from its subjects, but instead, followed Scriptural principles, maybe Christians would give a little more.  Regardless, Christians are called to give.

From today’s scripture reading:

Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”  And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.  As the Scriptures say,

 

 

“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
  Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”

For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.

Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.

          2 Corinthians 9:6-11 (NLT)

From today’s devotional:

The principle of sowing and reaping is a universal truth ordained by God; it applies not only in agriculture, but also in the area of giving. Despite the fact that the Lord promises an abundant harvest for those who give generously, many Christians still struggle with releasing their grip on money.

Some fear that they won’t have enough if they give. Others, pulled by greed, are unwilling to sacrifice pleasures and comforts. Those who succumb to their fears or stinginess will miss out on the great harvest God wants to give them.

In the midst of a chaotic economy and uncertain times, we can find our security in the Lord. His ways are often the opposite of our natural tendencies. The world says that to have enough, we must acquire more. Today’s passage says that in giving generously, we will have an abundance of both provision for our needs (bread) and resources to continue our generosity (seed).

Beyond this, the Lord also promises that the harvest of our righteousness will increase, and we will be “enriched in everything for all liberality” (v. 11). God’s riches encompass so much more than earthly wealth. Generosity produces godly character, which is valuable now and in eternity.

Although we have been given the promise of a bountiful harvest, it will be realized only by those who sow abundantly. In following God’s plan for giving, you can be free of worry because the One who guarantees you a harvest is also the omnipotent Lord who is able to produce it.

Correlation:

Baal’s subjects should not be dependent on Baal.  The true God is the One who is the omnipotent Lord who is able to produce a harvest.  In the midst of a chaotic economy and uncertain times, we can find our security in the Lord.   His ways are often the opposite of our natural tendencies.  The world says that to have enough, we must acquire more.  Christians are called to give, not reluctantly or in response to pressure.  As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor.”

Baal is not the answer

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/04/28/va_reform_stalled_by_lack_of_accountability_126403.html

RCP’s only solution is to fire problematic employees.

Look at Grey Sailor’s comment at the end of the article.  He explains one of the problems.

Look at my post “But you know the plan” on this blog near the bottom of the list of posts copied  February, 2015.  It describes another problem (lack of competition) and the best solution.

 

An open letter to Pope Francis

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/27/why-god-is-not-a-warmist/

The main difficulty with Pope Francis, as some of the Heartland delegates have privately been noting, is that he is an enthusiastic subscriber to the quasi-Marxist doctrine of “liberation theology”. So a lot of the arguments advanced by environmentalists to promote the climate change scare – such as the opportunities it creates for wealth redistribution and “trade justice” – are, in this Pope’s case, likely to fall on fertile ground. The challenge then is to persuade Pope Francis that even if you believe, as he does, in narrowing the gap between rich and poor, that the measures currently being advanced by the environmental movement are guaranteed to do the exact opposite.

The Baal Tyranny religion

http://www.christianpost.com/news/what-is-the-worlds-most-popular-religion-138028/

Every religious approach other than Christianity relies upon man to achieve paradise, nirvana, enlightenment, godhood, perfection, or some other expression of eternal bliss and happiness.

Sure sounds like Baal Tyranny to me.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.  1 Peter 5:7

From today’s devotional:

Those who stay young in spirit regularly look for evidence of the Almighty in their lives—ways He is working, providing, loving, and guiding.

Jesus Christ invites the weary and heavy-laden to come to Him and find rest (Matthew 11:28-30). He wants us to get under His yoke and allow Him to carry our load of cares and concerns. Our Savior has a solution for every burden and wants to help us transfer them to Him.

Try Jesus’ solutions: For a bitter, unforgiving spirit, forgive; for guilt, confess; for regret over past sin, believe Christ has already forgiven you; and for anxiety, cast it on God, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).

Correlation:

You should look to God for solutions rather than big government.  Cast your cares upon the true God because He cares for you.

The ultimate Baal Capitalist deal

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/23/tangled-clinton-web/

Baal Capitalists, with approval by U.S. Secretary of State (and in essence, the U.S. president), sell nuclear bomb ingredients to Russia who supplies them to Iran.  Is that what Obama meant when he told Vlad he could be more flexible after the election?

Putin might arm Persia.

Toppling the 1%

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/report-hillary-clinton-called-toppling-140603537.html

So we’re supposed to believe that she is going to topple the 1%.  Is she going to topple herself?  Where is she going to get funding for her presidential run?  Who is she going to work with to steal from the free market capitalist?

The author is proud that charity care at hospitals has plummeted because of Obamacare.

Read the CANON to see what is sociopathic about that.

More insight into why Pope Francis’ pursuit of “social justice”

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/05/will-pope-francis-break-the-church/389516/

 “Many of Bergoglio’s fellow Jesuits believed they had a postconciliar mandate to make the pursuit of social justice the order’s organizing mission. In Latin America, the emerging Big Idea for what this meant was liberation theology, which promoted a synthesis between Gospel faith and Marxist-flavored political activism. Argentina’s provincial, the head of the country’s Jesuits, Ricardo O’Farrell, offered encouragement to these ideas. He backed priests who essentially wanted to live as political organizers among Argentina’s poor. He also supported a syllabus rewrite that was “heavy on sociology and Hegelian dialectics,” as Ivereigh describes it, and lighter on traditional Catholic elements.”

I touched on the Hegelian dialectics in one of those posts that I copied from my Politics Forum posts.  The post is about halfway down the list of posts copied  February, 2015.  The title is “Thank you, Sponge, for that post.”  If Pope Francis believes in Hegelian dialectics, his beliefs are even scarier than I thought.  Read in that post what Hegel believed.

Enter the Reform Baal Socialists

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/04/14/enter_the_reform_conservatives_126250.html

He seems to want to “cede the legitimacy of the New Deal and Great Society.”

He says “some type of redistribution is necessary”.

He says that “the current blue-collar and lower-middle-class economy cannot function in a way compatible with our conception of social justice.”

He suggests subsidizing wages at the lower end.

This certainly sounds like more Baal Socialism.

       Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly.  As a result, he was very successful.

       2 Chronicles 31:21 (NLT)

From today’s devotional:

      When our hearts yearn for God, He delights in revealing Himself and pouring out blessings on us (Hebrews 11:6). Make an honest assessment of how earnestly you are seeking after Him.

Conclusion:

      In 2 Chronicles 31:1, the Israelites were removing shrines and altars to a false god.  We are not here to worship and depend on a false god, but to worship and depend on the true God.

Liberty and Tyranny

The CBO’s main concern about the debt

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/15/tax-calculator-federal-debt/

These numbers pose a real threat. The CBO has issued warnings about the serious negative consequences that such high and rising debt and interest payments on the debt could have on both the economy and the federal budget.

“The large amount of debt might restrict policymakers’ ability to use tax and spending policies.”

From today’s devotional:

       Sometimes, in His wisdom, He chooses to “bless with less.” Can you remember a particular disappointment that caused you to question whether He was acting in your best interest? With time and perspective, can you now see God’s loving care for you in taking something away?

Correlation:

       We should not have big government as our god.  It is a false god.

       The true God can solve any problem.  He may choose any solution he wants to.  Including blessing us with less.

CNN denial of Baal Tyranny

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/06/opinions/zelizer-democrats-vs-wall-street/index.html

CNN needs to stick to TV where its only audience is its sycophants.  When they voice their opinion on the web, they embarrass themselves, thinking that we all just fell off the turnip truck.

The author seems to imply that the dream of a more economically leftward party is somehow in conflict with courting and protecting powerful financial interests.  He tries to seem shocked that “even at his most progressive moments, Barack Obama relied on Wall Street donations for both of his campaigns.”  He implies that the talk from conservatives about left-wing “socialism” in the White House is somehow in conflict with the financial community opening its coffers to Democrats.

Then the piece de resistance:  “A more populist economic agenda that revolved around progressive taxation and substantial public assistance to strengthen the middle class can only work in a different kind of political system.”  It is true that a better economic agenda for the “middle class” would be in a different kind of political system than we have now, but it certainly would not revolve around progressive taxation and substantial public assistance.

The author needs to review what Baal Tyranny is about or he just needs to admit that the secret is out.

The Marxist’s Solution

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/01/opinion/thomas-friedman-tell-me-how-this-ends-well.html?ref=opinion&_r=0

Thomas “Loopy” Friedman’s piece shows what he thinks is the best solution for a society.  He thinks its great that pre-school-age children across China are being forced to study mathematics and English.  And later in the piece, he seems to indicate that the major problem with Egypt is that the government doesn’t provide enough education.

Here’s a quote about the governments of Asia after World War II:  “Asia was ruled by many autocrats who essentially came to their people and said, ‘My people, we’re going to take away your freedom, but we’re going to give you the best education, infrastructure and export-led growth policies money can buy. And eventually you’ll build a big middle class and win your freedom.’”

Isn’t that always the Marxist plan?  Take away freedoms, construct a socialist society, and promise utopia?
