Occult Conspiracy

Some people just might not realize what is going on in the real world behind the scenes behind closed doors, well here it is made public... and actually this is just a single man speaking from a certain group.


27minute video edited down to 8minutes for the best parts (we added some parts of the famous JFK speech to it too) :)

Article - Bonded in the brain: New Science confirms biblical view of sex

Here is an article that was given to me, and I felt like posting this for anyone to read.
Yet again, science continues to find out the truth and catch up to God's word.

New Science confirms biblical view of sex
BY ED VITAGLIANO


Many Christian parents must feel desperate when it comes to trying to protect their children from a hyper-sexualized culture that often encourages kids to ignore traditional morality.
So what should parents do? At the top of the list should be this: Don't be embarrassed nor apologetic about what the Bible says about sex.
The truth is, on the subject of sex, science is catching up to the Bible.


Pathways in the brain
Most of us probably remember health classes in which rudimentary sex education lessons taught us the basics of reproduction. We remember that the onset of puberty is driven by the sex hormones estrogen (girls) and testosterone (boys).
But human sexuality doesn't stop with estrogen and testosterone. There are other, less familiar names that represent forces that are just as powerful - and their primary work environment is the brain.
This is laid out in fascinating detail in Hooked: New science on How Casual Sex Is Affecting Our Children, written by Joe S. McIlhaney Jr. and Freda McKissic Bush. Both are obstetrician-gynecologists who have served on the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS.
As McIlhaney and Bush explain, the brain is a magnificent and wonderfully complex organ. It works by electrical impulses that flow through its basic cell - the neuron. These neurons communicate with each other through synapses, which function similarly to computer cables bridging the gaps between the cells. But even these cables do not connect to the neurons themselves. Neurochemicals complete the job of carrying information between the cells.
The existence of these pathways means the brain can be changed and molded - almost like a muscle. As patterns of behavior develop over time, the synapses regulating those particular behaviors become stronger. Likewise, the synapses governing infrequent activity weaken.
Sex is one of those behaviors that is subject to patterns. This is why certain sexual habits seem to quickly find a pathway on which to proceed, giving those actions the sensation of 'going downhill' with little or no resistance. Those synapses have been strengthened by repeated activity.
So for example, when a couple that has been sexually active breaks up, it is common for them, when they start dating someone else, to move quickly to a sexual relationship with their new partner. The pattern has been established, and it seems "natural" to head in that direction.


Bonded by sex
There's even more going on, however. In Hooked  the scientific case is laid out that much of our sexual nature is actually brain-based, even while the actual sexual act is carried out in the genital region.
The activity of three chemicals is powerfully related to human sexuality: dopamine, oxytocin and vasopressin.
Dopamine is a chemical that produces good feelings in the brain.
"The official term for what dopamine does is 'reward signal' - that is, when we do something exciting, dopamine rewards us by flooding our brains and making the brain cells produce a feeling of excitement or of well-being," according to McIlhaney and Bush.
In fact, Hooked  suggested that infatuation - the giddy feelings accompanying the early stages of a romatic relationship - may very well be dopamine related as well. That's because tender glances, holding hands hugging and other romantic gestures release dopamine. That is part of the "thrill" of a relationship that makes someone unable to sleep when he or she is "in love," or unable to think about anything else besides their beloved.
"However, sex is one of the strongest generators of the dopamine reward," they said. "For this reason, young people particularly are vulnerable to falling into a cycle of dopamine reward for unwise sexual behavior - they can get hooked on it."
According to Robert E. Rector in The harmful Effects of Early Sexual Activity and Multiple Sexual Partners Among Women, when young people have their first sexual experience before age 16, they will usually wind up having more sexual partners than if they had waited until they were older than 20.
"Sexual behavior for this young group once it has commenced, appears almost compulsive," said McIlhaney and Bush. "This certainty correlates with neuroscientific findings that sex has an addictive effect on the brain."


Oxytocin and vasopressin
Another neurochemical is oxytocin. A woman's brain is flooded with oxytocin during labor, childbirth and breast-feed-ing, which creates a bond between the mother and infant.
But this neurochemical is also released during romantic moments between a woman and a man. "When two people touch each other in a warm, meaningful and intimate way, oxytocin is released into the woman's brain," said McIlhaney and Bush. "The oxytocin then does two things: increases a woman's desire for more touch and causes bonding of the woman to the man she has been spending time in physical contact with. This desire for more touch and the bonding that develops between a man and a woman often lead to the most intimate of physical contact, sexual intercourse."
Sex results in even greater amounts of oxytocin flooding the woman's brain, "causing her to desire this same kind of contact again and again with this man she has bonded to, producing even stronger bonding."
The male counterpart to oxytocin is called vasopressin, which according to McIlhaney and Bush, "seems to have two primary functions related to relationships - bonding of the man to his mate and attachment to his offspring."


Breaking up is hard to do
It is easy to see that God has provided neurochemical "help" to married couples in order to make the marital bond strong and thus provide a secure and stable environment for the raising of children.
The dopamine "rush" during sex keeps a husband and wife coming back for more - helping to cement the relationship. And oxytocin and vasopressin make the bond even deeper.
No doubt this is part of the meaning behind God's statement in Genesis regarding marriage, that the man and woman "shall become one flesh" (2:24).
This bonding power of sex, insisted McIlhaney and Bush, "is real and almost like the adhesive effect of glue."
However, that "glue" is intended for sex within marriage. Engaging in sex outside the parameters established by God brings pain and destruction. Here are only three dangers:

1.Bonding with the wrong person
Hooked  makes it clear that both oxytocin and vasopressin are "values-neutral." The release of oxytocin, for example, "cannot distinguish between a one-night stand and a lifelong soul mate. [It] can cause a woman to bond to a man even during what was expected to be a shorterm sexual relationship. ... This can lead to a woman being taken off-guard by a desire to stay with him even if he is possessive or abusive."
This is true for adulterous affairs, too. Sex winds up bonding two people together even though their love is supposed to belong to a spouse.
In an article in Psychology Today, neuroeconomist Paul J. Zak argued that "the oxytocin attachment system is pernicious. Sleep with someone enough and it is difficult not to become attached to him or her. This is why so many conventions proscribe adultery - precisely because the girlfriend now might become the wife later, leaving the first family in the lurch."

2. Painful breakup cycles 
Who has not loved and lost - even without sex as part of the relationship? It is one of the most painful realities of life.
According to McIlhaney and Bush, however, sex makes a breakup even worse. "When a couple is involved in even a short-term relationship and breaks up and then each moves on to a new sexual partner, they are breaking an [oxytocin and vasopressin] bond that has formed," they said. "this severing of the bond explains the incredibly painful emotions people often feel when they break up."

3. Degradation of bonding ability 
When young people - or those of any age = engage in casual sex or a series of sexual relationships, they are putting themselves through a continuous cycle of bonding and breaking up. This has the potential to damage the God-given ability to bond later.
"Their inability to bond after multiple liaisons is almost like tape that loses its stickiness after being applied and removed multiple times," McIlhaney and Bush said.

Crucifying the flesh 
The cultural implications are staggering. Every time we expose young people to sexual imagery we are releasing the tidal power of these brain-based chemicals. Early exposure to pornography - or simply sex on TV - may be opening sexual pathways in the brain way before other faculties (like self-control) can be engaged.
Likewise, when we encourage dating at younger and younger ages we are putting our children into situations - i.e., on dates - during which touch and smell and holding hands and kissing are kick starting the chemical avalanche that was meant to lead to life-long bonding.
Is it any wonder why kids are having sex at earlier ages, or why even pre-teens seem to have become sexualized?
Moreover, is it surprising that so many Christian kids are having sex - fully aware that their parents have taught them against it and the Bible says it's a sin?
This is part of the conundrum of human sexuality: We are not only spiritual beings but also physical - and our emotions and even our actions can be influenced by what is happening in our bodies.
However, as powerful as the forces in our bodies are, we are not animals. In terms of sex, we are not driven by mindless instinctive urges but by desires and subsequent decisions. Animals have sex by instinct; humans have sex by choice.
The good news is that the Bible calls us to spiritually influence the body - and we must assume, even the brain. What Scripture calls 'crucifying the flesh' or 'denying self' (Gal. 5:24; Rom. 8:13; Matt 16:24) is the restrain of actions that displease God. In turn, this weakens the synapses governing say, sexual experimentation, and it strengthens the synapses that allow more self-discipline.
Christian parents must begin to understand and then consistently communicate to their children the immense power of sexuality, because good intentions don't stand a chance when a kid is confronted by that power.
God created the power of sex. He also provided the terms of its use. It's time we understood both.

Do we have eternal security? "once saved always saved concept?"


After having an enlightening and edifying conversation with some of my friends at applebees from a Christian group called 365 here in the Green bay area, I have been inspired to write this and show this to others as well in order to provide edification in Christ!


First, I would like to give thanks to God that he has allowed me to acquire wisdom on this topic through more developed men in Christ and if it wasn't for the wisdom that God gave them to give me, then surely I would not be able to write as much on this subject.


Alrighty folks check this amazing stuff out!... Here is what I have read and acquired as to what God has to say on the subject of eternal security... It is quite powerful what His word has to say :)
____________________________________________________
2 Timothy 2:11-13 
11 "It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself..

we can see that verse 11, shows that if we die with him (believing and accepting what he did on the cross) we shall also live with him. In the next verse (12) it talks about us being able to reign if we suffer Then it says if we deny him he will deny us... 
This might be tricky for some, but it is really simple in understanding what we would be denied (our reward to reign with Christ: I Cor 3:13-15) you figure this one out by having the colons, which represent a break into another thought. 

But even better that shows we have eternal security in Christ even if we were to no longer believe him for whatever reason look at v.13 - "If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself"

When we accept Christ as our savior we believe on his work and faithfulness not ours, for our faith is weak and wavering. If it was based on our faith, we would be poor fellows.

A supportive verse to this fact that it is based on Him and not us is Titus 3:5
__________________________________________________
more verses showing that Christians cannot lose their salvation:
Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise..."

and what is that holy spirit of promise??? 
v14 "Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

It is a promise that we are sealed by the holy Spirit which is our inheritance until redemption!

Ephesians 4:30 "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

We are SEALED till the day of redemption! showing there are no strings attached to it! :) what a wonderful thing.
___________________________________________________
Some verses that correlates with II tim 2:12 showing that we have a reward and that it can be destroyed...

I Cor 3:13-15 "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built there-upon, HE SHALL RECEIVE A REWARD. If any man's work shall be burned he shall suffer LOSS, BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; yet so as by fire."

So if there is a Christian that is saved but holds no fruit or foundation, he will still be saved, BUT he will not receive a reward.
____________________________________________________


And to cap it all off
Romans 8:35-39
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"

In conclusion, I find this amazing what these very words say that NOTHING can separate us from the love of God,which in our Lord Jesus Christ! We also know that he will not deny himself, even if we were to no longer believe on him!

If we cannot be separated from the love of Christ, than surely we have Eternal security and can know without a doubt in our mind that no matter what happens in our life we are saved!


I am so thankful for God's almighty love. He is the most loving of of all things and the father thereof.

Staying open minded, but maintaining what is truth with evidence!

Wow, I have not sent an info message in so long... well here is a great article that i thought ya'll should read!
It is essentially about not holding a closed mind either through blind (ignorant) belief or being puffed up in knowledge (arrogance) on a subject.
I thought it was great and it was something that we all need to work on.
Here it is: Intellectual Maturity: Rising Above Misinformation

What is a Constitutional Census?

After the recent Census that was taken and some of the interesting information I have gathered, I have come to a realization according to the Article 1 Section 2 of the Constitution that the only information that is required by law to be gathered is the number of individuals living in the household. If you gave any more information from that you are doing it outside of the constitution and law, therefore giving away your privacy. Such things of you giving away your privacy would including your name, number, ethnicity, and other information.

Here is a great article on the subject...

I do wish I would have known this information beforehand but i just have recently learned this by reading through articles and messages. I will be sending my information on how many people are in my household (1) and nothing more in information as it is the only thing stated in the constitution for gathered information. The reason for this is to accurately figure out how many representatives are to be representing that state.

So come 2020 I will probably be going out to people's houses telling them what they are required by the constitution to do with the census.

So when you own your home or rent a place remember the only thing you are REQUIRED to fill out is the number of people in the residence all other information IS VOLUNTARY!

Know your rights!

The group Flex Your Rights is a group that I have always enjoyed watching their videos for insightful information on dealing with police. I have watched a very recent video they have put up called 10 Rules for Dealing with Police, its about 35minutes long giving well instructed information on how to deal with police encounters. I knew almost all of the information they had talked about except one thing; I am not required to hold an I.D. on me while walking around! Hope you enjoy the video!
