Jesus Will Make You Rich?

Joel Osteen and others who preach the “Jesus will make you rich" “gospel" teach that if you aren't getting rich, you aren't living right by Jesus.  What does the Bible say?

Matthew 17:27 King James Version (KJV)
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

Hmm, that doesn't sound like someone who's rich.  Repeater in Jesus not living right by Jesus? Of course they were. Why weren't be rich enough to pay the temple tax then? It close that what the preachers were preaching was untrue.

These preachers also preach that if you're having problems in your life that you're not living right by Jesus.  What does the Bible say about that?

Matthew 5:45 King James Version (KJV)
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

And

2 Timothy 3:12-13 King James Version (KJV)
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

It sounds as if these teachers are teaching the exact opposite of what the Bible says.

Matthew 7:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Beware folks.  You may think that you are following a Christian preacher but they may be ravenous wolves.

Socialism Isn't So Great

Socialism Isn't So Great

When some people hear the word socialism, they think of “free stuff," unicorns and rainbows.  I'm about to tell you of the starting reality.

This woman lives in Venezuela.

She is a long-time friend who used to sing on my live show.  She's beautiful and has a beautiful voice. She is sweet and kind.  She also hates socialism.

Relatively recently, her country was taken over by a socialist dictator.  Nicolás Maduro has been limiting electricity to four hours every day or two.  How are you supposed to keep your food refrigerated or your house air conditioned on that?

She said that there have been riots and looting so bad that it's very difficult to get food for her and her child to eat.  She never knows when the four hours of electricity will be so when it's on, she tries to charge her cell phone so that she can contact those of us who knew her on Facebook.  Since I will no longer be on Facebook, I'll have to try to find a way to get word to her that I'm here now.

I hope that things improve for her and all the good people of Venezuela.  I hate to hear of her living in these kind of conditions. I wish that I could help her somehow but I don't have the means.  Please pray for her and Venezuela and remember, socialism isn't so great.

48 Hours Later...

48 Hours Later...

It has been over 48 hours since Facebook banned me and I'm feeling the strain.  I don't know how much longer I can hold out.  It seems like a lifetime since I've been insulted by other Facebook users, been belittled by feminists for being a white male,  been called racist by liberals who had no intelligent response to fact, been called a misogynist for posting something positive about Trump who exposed women for letting him "grab them by the pussy" because he was a star, or any number of other things I have to endure on a daily basis.  I'm a white, Christian male, so I deserve such punishment, after all.  How am I supposed to live without the punishment and abuse?  I NEED Facebook.

No, no.  I must stay strong.  I can't let this get to me.  I've gone without being insulted before.  I know that I can do this.  I don't know how long I'm in the slammer for this time, but if you can't do the time, don't do the crime of speaking the truth.  It's a very unpopular thing to do these days.  Still, I must try.  I'm related to George Washington and I cannot tell a lie.  If I let Uncle George down, he might haunt me.  I... MUST... STAY... STRONG.  I don't know, though.  I'm starting to feel a little liberal, Muslim, and gay.  No, no.   Shake it off, Cal.  There is more at stake here than being accepted by Facebook.

Oh, Fakebook, PLEASE let me back on!

Facebook Is Abusing Me!

Facebook Is Abusing Me

Facebook is abusing me.  That's right.  THEY'RE abusing ME!  I made a post about my doctors in Tomball, who happen to be Muslim, saying that they're scum.  They ARE scum in my book.  Anyone who would deliberately mess up someone's heart and knowingly leave it that way for over 10 years is scum.  I don't care if they're Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Clan of the Holy UFO, or what.  If they deliberately do that to someone, they're scum.  Being Muslim does not free them from being called what they are.  S. C. U. M!  I also found out by talking to other heart patients of these same doctors that they were done the same way.  That makes them TRIPLE SCUM!

Having a doctorate does not excuse someone.  Hell, I went to college longer than they did.  I don't have a degree because my company wouldn't let me off to take the finals.  I had a 4.0, so I would have easily aced the finals, so that's not my fault.  That wouldn't excuse me from doing that to someone either.

I'm sure if I had said, "Some Christian scum doctors" everything would be fine.  Christians tend to forgive things like a random Facebook comment.  Someone at Facebook must have gotten butthurt that someone could call a Muslim doctor, scum.  Now I think that Facebook is scum for being so abusive.  You know what that is?  That's an opinion, just like liberals thinking Donald Trump is scum is an opinion.

People in the U.S. are allowed to have and state such opinions.  Having an opinion isn't the same as making a threat or making false claims, especially when your opinion is supported by fact.  The last I checked, Facebook is headquartered in the U. S.  Did they move their headquarters to the United Arab Emirates overnight?  Let me check.

Nope.  Still in California.  Oh, wait.  That's almost the same as not being in the U.S.  Maybe California seceeded and became part of the United Arab Emirates?  Let me check.

Oh, I see.  Financially, they did.  Here's the link if you want to read it.  https://losangeles.uae-embassy.org/consulate/consulate-news/california-uae-bilateral-trade-exceeds-1-5-billion

So, do financial dealings override the Constitution?  Let's see.

Hmm.  No.  Not yet.

So, why is Facebook abusing me?  Could it be that a moderator is Muslim and took offense?  That might be a possibility.  After all, THIS https://youtu.be/E8Ox6H64yu8 Android became a member of the United Arab Emirates and we all know that Facebook is using AI now.  Happy computing in the age of AI, y'all.
