Amazon 451

[Beetow]

.
The online mega merchant's business model was revised recently to exclude
books from its inventory that contain what it deems as "inappropriate or offensive"
content. In other words not what is universally deemed inappropriate or offensive,
rather, what Amazon deems; which is an entirely arbitrary deeming; and quite
possibly politically biased too.

The Bible contains quite of bit of material that Amazon could deem as inappropriate
or offensive so I expect it's only a matter of time before Christianity's holy book
ends up thrown atop Mr. Jeff Bezos' commercial bonfire.

Amazon's policy is:

Offensive Content We don’t sell certain content including content that we determine is hate speech, promotes the abuse or sexual exploitation of children, contains pornography, glorifies rape or pedophilia, advocates terrorism, or other material we deem inappropriate or offensive.

Would you prefer that they had no such policy and sold pornography?

The war against Conservative values and Christians has only just began in America I fear. What is happening now seems new to young people. However, the tactics that are being employed and have been for these last 10 or so years traces back to the agenda and propaganda tactics of the Nazi's.
They instituted a conflict paradigm to divide their nation too. The, "Us vs. Them" axiom. Mark "Them" as worthy of censorship, not to be trusted to disseminate their information freely, particularly in this inalienable right to free speech nation, and people will pick sides. Namely so that they're not on the censored one.

Next tactic, mark "Them", as enemies of the state, peace, freedom, patriotism, real America, etc.... Set up violent riots and blame "Them". Now the identity of Them is more fear drenched. Look! They're violent! They're terrorists! They committed to Sedition in our Capitol at behest of President Trump!
All lies of course but you'll notice our society has been slowly coerced to be hyper sensitive to the idea of offending anyone at all. And also, you'll maybe notice, the new target for hate and intolerance are white Christians.

It's all following the blueprint of the Nazi's. That's often missed by those happy to hold the map and walk that road because they're of a younger demographic and have no idea what Nazi Germany was about.
They're just happy to drink the Kool-Aid that's promoted by Leftists on Capitol Hill who's talking points often mimic those of Marx. That public schools have been compromised for decades is no mistake in this agenda. If you lead children with impressionable minds to exercise critical thought they'll see through the facade those behind the scenes and controlling the public narrative formulate.

That would defeat the agenda.
Instead, lead children to learn by rote, edit history books, delete parts of history and rewrite it with a more acceptable fiction, and teach that. Then the kids won't see what's coming because they won't have studied where their ancestors have been.

This is the world, and the "sons of GOD" are intruders, Strangers here on earth and we do not have dual citizenship here. We are "pilgrims" passing through. And we are not called to be "Hostile" take overs. For satan is the ruler of this world. For He is The god of this world, legally. And God the Father has given him that authority. But many do not believe the Bible. Neither understands this "Truth". They might say they believe it but in the same breath they explain it away..
with a "doctrine of their own".

Berean Study Bible
"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."

(Luke 4).
"Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. “I will give You authority over allthese kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “Forit has been relinquished to me, and I can give itto anyone I wish. So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

And it do seem that "Christian" book stories have become a thing of the pass. And christians have made book writing a thing of "Merchandise", making money and profiting in the name of Jesus.

But the world is the world, they are not suppose to act like the "Children of GOD". The world acts like the world, and "religion is a part of the world" so no matter what kind of books or material they sale and we need to stay out of their business. It has nothing to do with the "Children of GOD". Just don't eat at their table. And come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing. and have no fellowship with them, we have nothing in common with them says the Word of GOD! GOD or the Word has never told us to change them! And make them act like,"Holy and Sanctified" people.

New American Standard Bible
"And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.”

quite possibly politically biased

This is my primary concern because Big Tech is getting out of hand suppressing
the flow of information and/or discussion that exposes, and opposes, their political
ideology. In a nutshell; it is Big Tech's ambition to do all in their power to assure
that the public hear only one side of the political coin rather than both.

I do not agree to a band of book sellers and social media moguls banning,
censoring, suppressing, and deleting any and all publications and/or discussions
that aren't in line with their own personal agendas.

Thus far the US Constitution has prevented Washington from controlling the free
flow of information and public discussion in America, but if the current wave of
political discrimination is left unchecked, and allowed to become a powerful force in
public life, then I fear it's only a matter of time before it'll have enough influence in
Washington to steer Congress into amending the Constitution in order to allow our
country to forge into law its own version of China's cultural revolution; along with
something similar to North Korea's system of gulags for dissidents.

As soon as they can control what we see, write and hear. They will (they already are).
Every person I know (including myself) has had something deleted on Facebook at Amazon at some point, because it promotes Jesus or religion.

They aren't stopping anything about pornography, LGBT, de-genderization, evolution, free-sex, drug and alcohol use, abortion.
But they are stopping Salvation pamphlets, creationism books, anti-abortion books and flyers, and anything that promotes opposite sex marriage.

• 1Cor 5:6a . .Your boasting is not good.

The Corinthian church was liberal in its attitudes about intimacy. That's no surprise
considering that particular city's culture in their day and age.

Then, as now, liberals tend to think of themselves as sophisticated and progressive;
and vastly superior to stodgy, inflexible conservatives.

A recent article in the Epoch Times shared some of the secrets of a former KGB
agent whose standard plan for moving countries towards communism includes
demoralization. He said that Americans make the task easy because they were, and
are, corrupting themselves on their own; and actually accomplishing the task much
quicker than the KGB could even dream.

America's moral decadence began gaining momentum with the counter culture back
in the 1960s -- it continues to this day in our schools and universities, in our
entertainment, in our business practices, in our work ethic, in our government and,
sort of like the expansion of the cosmos, is picking up speed instead of slowing
down as might be expected.

That's good news for the left because if they are ever to succeed in turning America
into a version of George Orwell's 1984 and/or Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451; they
will first have to suppress and/or eradicate any and all religions that promote
traditional, old time moral values; honesty and tolerance are especially detrimental
to the left's agenda.

Conservative Christianity is one of those kinds of religions. We neither teach nor
support a flexible morality that adjusts to evolving social mores. We do not believe
the end justifies the means so long as it benefits the so-called greater good; and
we encourage the publication and the distribution of books and discussions that
examine both the pluses and the minuses of things like non-binary gender
identification, LGBT, transgender, abortion, human rights, patriotism, dissent,
capitalism, property ownership, and capital punishment, etc. and of course
Machiavellian ethics, and oligarchy, communism, socialism, and totalitarianism.

Re: Amazon sells porn! Well then, maybe it's time for Amazon to move to the Dark Internet. Then the Feds will have a legitimate reason to shut down that shady company.

Amazon is not a christian company, Neither have Jeft Bezos claim it to be one. Neither have he disclosed his religion and that he has one. He has the right to ship what ever his wants to ship or mail. And not to be judge by another person regligious practices. If a person do not like what he does with his company. , do not use their services, and do not slander them, love those you considered enemies, and do them good. If he mails "pornolgraphy" so what, are we partial on our judgments.
What about beaches and vacation spots and swimming holes, all that porn struting around like a peacocks. Why the christian community is not in a up roar over this. They use to be. What ever happen to those baggie women swim suits that went down to their kneels and their heads were covered? There are over 2.4 billion christians throughout the world. And claiming they have power, and not the strength to make their own group to stop showing skin and keep their clothes on. And always talking about laying their hands on somebody to heal! You my be laying your hands on someone, but it sure ain't for healing. Suntan lottion is a billion dollar industry!

But when Jesus gets back and set up His Kingdom, Those G-Strings, bikinis, and yoga pants is going to be history. And you can protest all you want! Y'all are going to be wearing full body sheets clear down to your toes! And Gog and Magog is going to have their day in court too. This time, Jesus is going to rule with a "Iron Scepter"! They way your mama and daddy use to rule the household. It is going to be His way or the highway flowing like a river of fire and brimstone, He is not going to argue. "Then LORD said, My Spirit will not contend with a human being forever for he is mortal, his days are limited".

 

[PloughBoy]

There are 2 views to this matter, ""The Christian view point" inwhich concerns are presented by them. Then we have the view point of "the sons of the Living GOD";

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

And our tactics are more difference from most christains. And really different from the people of this world.

There is such a thing for us "a righteous garment" but all of the "sons of God" are commanded to "put on the Whole armour of GOD". It is time for the true "Daughters of GOD" to called your sisters "in Christ" out! They are causing a many of your brothers in Christ to stumble and fall, and you know it! And you have grown so callaous and gloat and mock as if God is not going to hold you accountable. Notice i did not say that He will condemn you. But let me tell you one thing, at the "Bema seat" it is going to hurt you like nothing has ever hurt you in your whole human life. The sins of omissions and commision concerning your brothers and sisters in Christ!

Do not believe half talking have believing so called teachers of righteousness, that have you to believe their is no suffering for falsehood. And always slipping into the "Gumbo", now there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus"
For we are not even talking about "condemnation" and they redirection the subject we are reffering too. And most minds have been branded so long in that way of thinking, their minds go into automatic mode. Not realizse it is not condemnation we are referring too. Do not cause any of your brothers or sisters in Christ to stumble at any point. And do not instigate them to go against the will of GOD their Father, there will be a price to pay! "for the wages of sin is death" but that devil will always be there to say, you shall not die but God knows you will be like him.

And all of you who have given any "child of God" advice to divorce their spouses for any reason. Is going to pay a price, for what you have said and done, whether in fooliness or ignorance unless you have "confess and Repentanted" for what you have said and done. If you aided it in the dark you are going to have to bring it to the Light! "wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life". For concerning this matter "God has made it plain" but because of your lust you have abated the "Truth" and cause many to walk in falsehood.

Now since you have freedom of the will, what are you willing to do? Oh, tell the truth or keep silent. You choose. Bring it to the light the mud you threw upon a person life or keep it in the dark. Or are you willing to put it on a hill? If you never had a real "Mental Problem" how can you know that "Jesus" is a mind Regulator, if your heart has never been broken and after you went to Him and He fix it, Him alone, how can you know that He can fix a broken heart! If You have not been a sinner sinner so bad , it trouble you, how do you know He Can forgive sins! How can you know true Repentance and confession is good for the soul unless you have experience it and come to love the very "Word of GOD". For without true repentence it is impossible for anyone to "love the very Words of "The Living GOD"

if you see a naked woman, and the first thought that enters your mind is sexual desire, then you have a very serous issue with sexual immorality and need to repent. This reminds me of the parable of the guy who gambled all of his money at the roulette table. When he went to borrow money from a friend so he could pay the rent and buy some food, he declared " If that casino wasnt there , this would not have happened!" Do you see the total stupidity of that statement?? People, please stop equating nudity with sex and control your immoral thoughts and desires.

{ Now you are Prophet now, and know all about me are in "clairvoyance" concerning me.

You see if I believe in a different GOD that what you might believe in. I just might believe in "Total Depravity"! in such a way that the Whole Human race and all deserved to go to HELL, And all mankind is dam because all "Hearts are desperately wicked"! And there is None Good no not One! And just by looking at a women or man is considered a sex crime that deserved damnation, and any form is evil enough to cast you into eternal fire, but lying, sexual sins out of marriage of any type before and with no forgiveness! If you so much look at a man or woman is a act of sexual perversion, i do not care if you looked at their ankles, the neck, a foot , a wrist, or a toe, even the eyelashes on the lip of their eyes both man and woman And that mother and daughter felt the same about "John the Baptist" and had his head cut off, because they wanted Him to Shut up!

I do believe what the word of God says:

New American Standard Bible
"Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually."

And this is what is in the Human Heart:
Matthew 15:19
"For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander."

"But all the Christians got good Hearts" and :good thoughts" filled with love.

I am not hating you.
And I am not hating "Amazon".com for i use them a lot. books, bibles, underwear, jeans, shoes, candy, Ensure, flashlights. Bring it right to my door, rain, snow are shine. and don't charge me. I have nothing against Him, Amazon has treated me better than most christians. And Amazon do not temp me to commit sexual sins either. When i look at Amazon, I never even thought about relating Amazon with "Pornography". Until It was posted on "Talk Jesus".

I had been a strong sport athlete all my life and one thing i made a promise to myself was, no woman will every control me by her looks and sexual attraction will not control me. And I meant it too! Many did't like that about me, and my wife didn't either.

Why do so many men think it is not "immoral" for women to show so much skin., on their bodies. I have called Christian men out, for referring how Good my wife hips look! Boldly in front of many, I have called them out even in a church setting. And told them in front of everybody, If he do it again, they better do it, where i cannot hear it! And let it be between my wife and him! And I mean it. And i would tell them I ain't that "Holy" Yet! And preacher got that bad!

And the reply to what you said about me:
"Do you see the total stupidity of that statement?? People, please stop equating nudity with sex and control your immoral thoughts and desires."

I am a Stupid person! and a stupid person makes stupid statements! I am in agreement with you. Since I am handicapped and know it, with ignorance and stupidity. I do hope you do not feel sorry for a ignorant fool of sinner such as I. and just ignore me. and my ignorant ways. One time in my life growing up I thought it was my natural name. so feel free in the future to perceive in such a matter as you have perceive me to be in your clairvoyance or your psychological, evaluation of my character concerning my moral characteristics. I know I am only a old ignorant stupid sinner hoping to be saved by"Christ Alone" and not from any help from another. For I know me, and who I am, stupid and ignorant and a sinner, Hoping to be saved by, Christ alone! And not asking anyone how to be saved. Because i do not trust any man or woman. How would i know if they are liars or not? So if Jesus died for me. he knows how to save me all by himself! If he needs help, He must not be the Son of the Living of GOD.

You see to me the human body is a mere vessel made of blood, skin and bone. Thats it, end of story. Doesnt matter its shape, color how much hair it has , it is simply a vessel . You have control over your thoughts , desires and beliefs. If I can change the perspective from lust and immorality to a body made in the image of God , (who also declared it to be good in his eyes by the way), then anyone can. Ask any Christian nudist, including me, and we can share out testimonies of our spiritual growth since going down this path. It has set us free. I was involved with a pentecostal church many years ago, they banned tv, radio, newspapers and cinemas. All they did was read scripture and spend most of there time at there church building. I soon realised the folly of living like that. Take up the sword and fight your battle, dont flee from it.

 

[B-A-C]

Ask any Christian nudist, including me

Are there any Christian nudists?

Gen 3:9; Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
Gen 3:10; He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
Gen 3:11; And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”

2Cor 5:3; For indeed, in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our [b]dwelling from heaven, 3 since in fact after putting it on, we will not be found naked.

Rev 3:18; I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see.

Yes we are created in God's image, but does God run around naked?

Isa 6:1; In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.
