Echoes and Origins

Why Liberals and Democrats Make No Sense

This is one of the most prolific signs of the times. It is everywhere you look; it’s in almost every news article, almost every single post. And if you listen closely, it will smack you in the face: Foolishness.

There was an article on my Reader feed this morning, about the recent shooting of two West Virginia Guardsmen, and when I read it, I finally lost my cool. Then it dawn on me.

What if I told you I can explain it all. I’m serious; what if I said I know the reason that the world has suddenly gone insane. How in 2023, things just exploded and a whole world of foolishness became the normal. Well I can. The only question is, are you willing to read this post to find out.

In The Beginning There Were People Who Came to My Door

It’s been about 15 years ago now. One day, someone rang my doorbell. I opened the door and there were two men in suits, an older gentleman and a younger one. The older one did all the talking. But they gave me the typical introduction, they were in the neighborhood talking to people about God. Yes, Jehovah Witnesses. I stood there wondering how they convinced people to go around neighborhoods and strike up conversations. I thought if we could get all Christians to do that, our problems would be over.

I didn’t lie to them, but I wasn’t exactly open with the truth either. I wanted to learn about this religion from someone genuinely involved, not a hired web designer or a disgruntled ex-member. So I went along with it. Like clockwork, every week two gentlemen would show up at my door with their “Watchtower” publications, each time bringing a new lesson.

For a long time, like I said almost a year, it was a brief, polite lesson, some commentary, a few questions and time to leave. But after a while they started to trust me. I got several materials from them: a “New World Translation” Bible, a little yellow book called “What Does the Bible Really Teach” and a pretty hefty collection of “Watchtower” publications. But then came the Tuesday afternoon I was handed a little brown leather book. I still have that book, “Reasoning From the Scriptures”.

After they left I dove into that little book. I was determined to find a reason behind why people would brave the elements, go to strangers’ houses where undoubtedly they were cussed and chased off a lot more than they were welcomed. But I never got that far. Because something in that book caught my attention, and I couldn’t overlook it.

Stopped In My Tracks

In that book a section explains their belief in the resurrection. Now, keep in mind that according to Romans 10:9-10 you must believe that Jesus rose from the dead in order to be saved.

⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. – Romans 10:9-10 NIV

Now I had gotten to like this old guy. The other guy, I bet he never spoke 10 words the entire time. But I had really grown to like this guy. We had actually talked about the Bible from time to time. So for me, I couldn’t stop. Copyright infringement prohibits me from talking about the contents of this book. But I can tell you that according to the book, Jesus’ resurrection was a spiritual one, not a physical one.

I just couldn’t keep up the charade any longer. I had to tell him, to confront him, because I felt his salvation hung in the balance. The next time they came back, I told him of my concerns, and I told him of my personal belief that his religion would prohibit someone from being truly saved. His response made me literally take a few steps back. Instead of being angry that I was challenging his beliefs, he leaned toward me and said, “Don’t worry; if you believe it, then it’s true.”

Even then, in my complete ignorance of what I just heard, it felt like it hit me. I instinctively took a few steps back, as if trying to get away from something I knew could harm me. That was the last time I was ever visited by those two men.

“They Have Become Fools” – Romans 1:22

More and more I see people making posts, writing articles and making comments to the media that make no logical sense whatsoever. This morning, Thanksgiving Day, I started my day as usual. I got up, made myself some coffee and decided to catch up on the news. I knew about the two West Virginia Guardsmen who had been shot in Washington, D.C., so I wanted to see if there was any update to the condition of the Guards. After that, I came here to my site on WordPress. Now if you’re unfamiliar with WordPress, there is a Reader’s section where you can read article that other bloggers have posted.

There I read the most vile article. At first, the writer feigned concern over the two guardsmen, then went on to blame their injuries not on the Afghan Illegal Alien that shot them, but on President Trump for posting the National Guard in D.C! I honestly don’t know where that level of stupidity comes from. Washington D.C. has the fourth highest murder rate in the nation! Yet this guy would prefer murderers roam the streets than the National Guard. Then it dawned on me:

¹ Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. ²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, – Romans 1:21-22 KJV

There are two powerful combinations, a spiritual hand grenade if you will; “If you believe it, then it’s true” and a foolish darkened heart. This is the deadly combination that lives inside the modern day liberal/democrat/socialist. Let’s take a look at Scripture and see what leads to this outlook and why it kills the mind.

The Path of Spiritual Destruction

¹⁸ But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. ¹⁹ They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. ²⁰ For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
²¹ Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. ²² Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. ²³ And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. Romans 1:18-23

Notice what the Bible says: Everyone will be without excuse. And that is because from the time we’re old enough to realize the existence of God, he begins speaking to us. Not in audible words but it quiet, reflective contemplation. God expects us to see his handywork in everything around us. And we can either accept the obvious, or reject the truth in favor of a lie.

Scientist tell us, that if you take nothing, and then add the magical component Time, you get a fully formed universe, with Suns, Moons, planets, galaxies and most importantly life. That’s right: Wait around long enough and somehow nothing will create something. What feeble mind accepts that kind of logic?

NO! God challenges you: He says, “Contemplate the work of my hands. Study all that you see. Find an answer for it other than me.”

And we can’t. No scientist can tell you how the universe arrived. Oh, the Big Bang you say? What exploded? What was there to cause an explosion? How did it get there? Was it always there? No, they’re just changing the rhetoric: “At first there was nothing: Then it exploded.”

And just as the Bible says, man ignores the obvious and then struggles to explain the unexplainable. And in doing so, man comes to what I call a ‘realization of denial’. They know in their hearts that science can’t explain the origins of the universe, the planet and most of all man. How does a basic form of life such as an amoeba become a fully-formed, complex human. It can’t. But rather than face the truth of God, they begin to do foolish things like give supernatural powers to the most ordinary of things. “Mother Earth”, “Mother Nature”, “Healing Crystals” and whatever ridiculous fad is popular this week.

And instead of worshipping God Almighty, they worship the very thing God created. Animals, the skies, the heavens, and just in case we forget, one another. As their minds grow dark, foolish things begin to fill their minds. But in their dark state of rejection of God, they actually begin to embrace foolishness, and even get to the point where they are so ignorant of the truth, they consider themselves wise!

Prove me wrong: Go out there and ask a liberal: Can a man get pregnant? They will say yes. Can a man have a menstrual cycle? Tim Walz believed it to the point he actually mandated tampon dispensers be put in boy’s bathrooms in public schools. And when you take into account, “if you believe it, then it’s true,” you can see just how much their logic has been twisted into foolishness.

Title IX was enacted as part of the Education Amendments of 1972 and signed into law on June 23, 1972. It did not originally mention sports by name, but from the outset it applied to all educational programs and activities receiving federal funds, including athletics.​ In 1975, the federal government issued detailed athletics regulations under Title IX, and President Gerald Ford signed these regulations, giving schools up to three years to comply.

Now let’s look at the context here. In 1972, America agreed that the current education system favored men over women. In 1975, we further agreed that sports in schools wasn’t fair to women, or girls because they forced girls to have to compete with boys. For nearly 50 years, democrat and republican alike cherished these rules because they were fair for both sexes. But enter Joe Biden, the worst man ever to enter the office of President of the United States. This man had no right whatsoever to even run as President. He decided that it would be better to give rights to ‘transgenders’ even if the rights of women had to be taken away!!!

So, what happened? Boys who knew they had no chance of winning against a male, suddenly declared themselves ‘Trans’ and began winning 1st place titles, and taking titles away from biological women who truly deserved those titles. Even to this very day, there are people in this country who would rather see women cheated out of their opportunity to fairly compete against a REAL woman, just so a man can pretend to be a girl. “Professing themselves to be wise, they have become fools”.

The Answers, as Always, are Written in the Scriptures.

First of all, I just saw a news update that the young lady National Guardsmen,  Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20. The President has confirmed her death. I would like anyone who wishes to stop for a moment to remember her and pray for her family.

The passage of scripture starting with verse 18, and continuing to the end of the chapter gives us a complete understanding of how people deteriorate from a normal, clear thinking individual to a deeply disturbed, deceived individual who embraces the most ridiculous of notions.

⁸ But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. ¹⁹ They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. ²⁰ For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
²¹ Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. ²² Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. ²³ And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
²⁴ So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. ²⁵ They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. ²⁶ That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. ²⁷ And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
²⁸ Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. ²⁹ Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. ³⁰ They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. ³¹ They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. ³² They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too. – Romans 1:18-32 NLT

What we see here is a pattern. People who refuse time and time again to recognize and respond to the call of God. We see at every stage, there is an offer, a pleading, a concerted effort on behalf of God to try to reach them with the truth. But every time they refuse to heed his call, their mindset becomes more and more twisted, darker more bizarre. Then at the end, God has no choice but turn them over to a depraved, or as the King James Bible calls it a Reprobate mind. Now we can see with clarity the mind of the far left person. No longer are they in touch with reality. All they feel is hatred; all they do is plot lawlessness. To them, the world no longer has any boundaries.

They do whatever is right in their own eyes. Even though they know that God condemns their behavior, they not only continue in their outrageous behavior, but encourage others to do the same. Think about that the next time you hear of a Gay Pride Parade.

And This All Matters Because?

The reason all this matters is because these are signs of the last days, the end of time. I am 62 years old and I’ve studied Bible prophecy since I was a teenager. Even before I was saved, I read Bible prophecy. It was absolutely thrilling to me. Around 2022, I began to see an urgency, a fulfillment of Bible prophecy like none before.

I don’t make one single dime off of this website. In fact, I’ve spent my own money to buy a domain name and keep it. I spent my own money on this space at WordPress. I don’t ask for money nor do I sell advertising. In fact, I’ll tell you this now. If you want to help this ministry I don’t want your money, I want something even more valuable: I want your time. Pray for me: And don’t just say, “God bless brother Tim”. Pray that God will give me wisdom into His word; pray that God will grant me the ability to write better than I do now and that he will give me the words that will attract the most people to come to Him. Pray that people find this blog and find the answers they are looking for. That is how you can help this ministry.

I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt: There has never been a time in my 62 years like today. Bible prophecy is coming true on all fronts. Never before has all these things happened at the same time.

• The struggle of Jerusalem talked about in Zechariah chapter 12
• Earthquakes, signs in the heavens, the sun, the moon, the stars like in Luke chapter 21
• Nations all over the world that talk about peace but prepare for war like in Matthew chapter 24
• Challenges to the nation of Israel to remain a nation like in Amos chapter 9.
• Threats to wipe Israel off the map; “From the river to the sea” like in the book of Psalm chapter 83.
• A condition of violence, lawlessness and just plain bad behavior as told in 2 Timothy chapter 3.

And I could go on, but I think that is enough to make the point. Whether you believe it or not, the Bible is coming to pass. The things in the book of Revelation is starting to line up, getting ready to begin happening. There is sign upon sign, good vs. evil; right vs. wrong. Politicians who called evil good and good evil.

I don’t even think about 2026. In fact, the world situation is so bad, other than God’s intervention, I don’t see any way out. It’s obvious that liberals and democrats would rather destroy this country than live under the Constitution any longer. I don’t believe there can be any reconciliation. Democrats are already whispering rumors of civil war, using words like ‘revolution’, ‘overthrow’. If you’re a democrat, I have some good news and some bad news. In just a few days, we’ll be gone from this planet. You’ll celebrate and cheer when you realize the vast majority of those who oppose you are gone. Then you will be given seven years to create the utopia on earth you’ve dreamed about.

The bad news is, that by the time we come back, you will be on the brink of complete annihilation. And we’ll be accompanied by the owner of this world, and He will not be happy. I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears, but you don’t have to take part in that. You can simply humble yourself right now, and acknowledge the thing you’ve been running from. Come on, this is a long article. Did you read this because you felt there was something here for you? Getting saved is a lot easier than you’ve been led to believe. As I said earlier, Romans 10 has a simple instruction:

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ¹⁰ for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. – Romans 10:9-10 NASB
