Quote: “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child……” – Cicero. Communist Goals: “Get control of schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda….. ” Goal No 17. “Infiltrate the press……” Goal No 20. “Gain control of key positions in radio, TV……” Goal No 21. I’m suggesting the mind singular, or minds plural that came up with the goals were not at all ignorant of the quote, made perhaps 2000 years prior to the latter. To me, both quote and goals explain a primary reason why Western society is now drowning in ignorance, confusion, fear, bitterness, anger and violence.
You mean to say, Donald Trump is not to blame? No. That’s the accusation of an ignorant child – one who’s been done over either by Communist and Marxist ideologues, or their ideologies carried forth by their child-minded foot soldiers. Of the latter, they’re everywhere to be heard; in churches too, not just in kindergartens, schools, universities, print and Television journalism, entertainment and politics. A young lady was raped and murdered here in the early morning hours recently; her body was left lying on a sporting oval. The police said people should be aware of their surroundings and take precautions to protect their safety. A leading politician with strong Communist/Marxist influence disagreed saying, “Women don’t need to change their behavior. Men do.” That’s a child-minded statement.
Another child-minded statement in relation to this tragedy: “It is crucial to consider sexual assault and family violence as part of the same spectrum – a dark rainbow that begins with something as simple as a sexist joke, and our reaction to it.” His solution? “Try not laughing.” Indeed, try not to laugh at that! That’s his answer to ending such crimes? God help whoever listens to him! There’s no evidence the telling of sexist jokes leads to sexual assault, rape or murder, but evidence is never a consideration for the child-minded in any case. Who needs evidence when the expression of feelings or emotions will do the trick – regardless of how false and misguided these are likely to be. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness Proverbs 15:2.
Had the politician listened to the police and supported the commonsense advice, he would have witnessed to every woman who believes, “I am free to go wherever I want, whenever I want,” that not only is that unwise, it is wrong. But that’s another problem with the child mind; it is never wrong! The word “wrong” only becomes part of their vocabulary when expressed towards people who are not in their league. Had the other man done some brief research on the character of people who commit sexual crime he too would have expressed something more wise, meaningful and helpful. But, just like too much modern-day media news reporting, misguided feelings and opinions rule the day, not facts and not truth. Those are reserved for people unwilling to remain ignorant of what occurred before they were born.
The Communist, Marxist, Socialist, Leftist, Progressive (whatever name they desire to brand themselves with today) goals have never changed. What they failed to achieve economically in the West, they are not failing to achieve culturally. And sadly, even people who are far from ignorant of what occurred before they were born have been and are bullied and bludgeoned by them. The thinking among the people being, it will all sort itself out someday and things will get back to the way they once were. That is very doubtful given the nature and character of the ideologues; God has given them over to a debased mind. Their child-minded foot soldiers are in danger of being given over to such too if they continue to allow themselves to be duped by them. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch Matthew 15:14.
Studying the nature and character of these ideologues, what do we discover? We discover they are filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworty, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful…… Romans 1:28-31. In other words, they are worthless human beings in the eyes of God. It is this worthless crowd that has successfully recruited the child-minded crowd to carry out their dirty work just like the child-minded Brownshirts of 1930’s Germany did it for the worthless Adolf Hitler. “Trump is evil like Hitler. His supporters are hardcore racists.” Only true to child-minded people!
It is important not to confuse the child-minded with the worthless. For example, the woman who kicked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family out of her restaurant last week in the USA is not worthless. But by taking her stand on behalf of the worthless, she expresses a child mind. She said, “The restaurant has certain standards to uphold such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation.” See how child-minded that is? Honesty, compassion and cooperation – if she truly believed in those she would have demonstrated them. Again: “We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions.” How so self-righteously right that sounds. Question: How does one know if one is deceived or not? Answer: A deceived person will never ask that question. He already knows he’s right.
Hitler, Nazi, Gestapo, sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, racist, bigoted: this is the language of worthless ideologues, but it is their child-minded foot soldiers who make the most effective use of it. Because the former got control of the schools, because they got control of the print press and electronic media in the 1970’s and 80’s, the latter are clueless about Hitler, the Nazis and the Gestapo. They are totally ignorant of what occurred back in the 1930’s and 40’s. These are just words to them, like the rest of that list. If you were to ask them to explain the history and meanings they would be incapable of sensibly stringing two or three words together. Quote: “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Whilst I have no sympathy for the worthless ideologues that God has given over to a debased mind, I have much sympathy for their child-minded foot soldiers. The speed at which the younger ones among them can operate computers, cell-phones and all things IT for example, tells me they could rise above drowning in ignorance, confusion, fear, bitterness, anger and violence. There’s a hint of cleverness. Past generations who awoke to the reality that they were child-minded and sought for earnest change had to spend days, weeks and months researching for trustworthy information on what had occurred before they were born. Back in 1984, when I made a concrete decision to discard my child mind I had to wait weeks for the Library to retrieve out of print books. Today they can be found in minutes!
According to online reports the number of people murdered by Communist governments since their inception amounts to around 95 million people. One wonders how many more have been tortured and maimed by them! But as horrific as that is we must ask how many more people have they destroyed by keeping them ignorant? It is said that the horrors of World War 1 created a world-wide lost generation by way of disillusion as much as death. That’s where this worthless, debased lot are at too – hell-bent on creating the same, but through the rapid-fire of words and slogans rather than the rapid-fire of bullets and bombs. Every mind but the child mind knows the power of the former is more destructive in the long run than the power of the latter.
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out Proverbs 10:31. Quote: ” As a tree full of life and sap brings forth its fruit, so the perverse tongue is like a tree that brings forth evil and not good fruit; it “shall be cut down.” The abuse of God’s gift of speech will lead ultimately to its forfeiture. There shall, at last, be the silence of shame and confusion.” – Albert Barnes. That and much more awaits worthless ideologues of Communism, Marxism, Socialism, Leftism etc. Those gone from the earth now know the truth of it; they knew it the moment they set eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ. But there is more awaiting them after their judgment at the Great White Throne. It’s one thing to be ignorant of what occurred before you were born, it’s another thing to be ignorant of what’s still to come!
Cicero was a wise man but how wise he was towards God I don’t know. He knew much of what occurred before he was born; his mind was not that of a child. But, there’s another way to get free from the child mind in any case; receive the mind of Christ. People in possession of His mind no longer remain ignorant of the number one event that occurred 2000 years before they were born. It is that God Himself came to earth as a Man in Jesus Christ and died on a Roman cross for sin – yours and mine. Three days later He arose from death. Today He sits on His heavenly throne calling all to turn from sin and turn to Him for forgiveness and new life. Those who do so are the wisest people of all. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “Who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:15-16.
