Some of Man’s Most Evil Decisions

By

Roger Behra

The century of 1901-2000 is considered to be the 100 years allowed to Satan by God to destroy God’s church and to tempt mankind to commit widespread evil throughout the world. World history is very factual and true. It did happen. Some of mankind’s most evil decisions carried out as activities took place during 100 years. This communication will concentrate on three of the most evil and noteable ones, because they effected and harmed millions of people during that century-wars, abortion, and so far during the present century-same-sex marriages.

For all practical purposes the evil decisions started with World War 1 in 1914. From 1914 through 1917 Germany caused great damage in France and killed thousands of France’s citizens. Many German soldiers and her citizens died, also.

Between WW1 and WW2 Japan was waging ruthless attacks in the far east during the 1930’s and mainly in China. They killed innocent Chinese by the thousands, and raped women, both young and old, and set fires everywhere, and destroyed as much property as possible. No real army was able to stop the Japanese. The behavior of the Japanese army was absolutely cruel and barbaric beyond measure. They were like demons disguise as human.

In 1939 in Europe the German started WW2 as they invaded Poland. In December, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States was fully involved in WW2 on two fronts. Soon, most of the world was involved in WW2. And when it finished in 1945, the combined death toll of WW1 and WW2 was at the 60, 000, 000 million mark. And the leaders of Germany, Japan, and Russia were the evil ones who caused it all. It is common assumption among those who know human behavior and facts that the leaders of Russia (J. Stalin) and Germany (A. Hitler), and Japan (Hirohito) were demonically possessed. All in all, Satan’s evil was showered on mankind during those times. During the last century China turned to Communism, and more millions of death followed I smaller wars and internal revolutions.

During the early 1970’s the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that abortion was a legal procedure, and they could be performed. Since that time over 30, 000, 000 million babies have been murdered in the United States alone! Abortion and wars combined have killed over 100, 000, 000 million people, because of the decisions made by a select few individuals. Satan has to love that!

Currently in America same-sex marriage is the hot topic. In some states it is already legal for homosexuals to marry. No matter how you spin it, homosexual behavior is gravely evil, and Satan loves that, also. Same sex marriage makes a clear mockery of the traditional marriage between a man and woman.

Mankind has so many evil decisions, but wars, abortions, and same-sex marriages are featured here, because so many people have been and are now effected by these evil decisions. Yes, mankind has made the decisions, but the Prince of Darkness end Evil gets the credit, because he is behind all of it and orchestrating all the horrendous and diabolical scenes and activities.

Political Correctness harms America, By Roger Behra

SHORT COMMUNICATION 82

Political Correctness harms America

By

Roger Behra

Political correctness is basically a product of liberal Washington politicians, and the absurdity of it has invaded the United States mostly. However, it has spread to other countries, also. It’s effect is quite harmful, to put it mildly, and the effect is constantly with us each and every day here in America. And with America’s new president, the signs are it is going to increase. That is not good news for America.

Political correctness is the change in proper or standard procedures not in the form of law to meet a political agenda, and the change becomes a “right” that does not exist in the form of civil law or international law. In short, it is lawful without being a certified law.

An example of political correctness recently came from Washington, and it is going to badly hurt the U.S. in the future. Dozens of captured terrorists were released by the U.S. They have already resumed their terrorist activities elsewhere. They were simply given their “right”, because there was nothing in U.S. law saying that they should be retained. The group in Washington dreamed up a reason for their release, because they have “rights”. That was pure stupidity, strongly. And the group in Washington is set to ban the phrase, “war on terror”. Well, Washington can ban those words, but they cannot ban the terrorist war on the U.S.

It was enough to release the captured terrorists. Now, Washington is considering legal action against those who ordered and carried out the methods that forced the terrorists to reveal who made up their groups and their agenda. The good guys are going to have no “rights” or get credit for their efforts, which were quite valuable. Hasn’t anyone looked down the road to see what legal action, successfully conclude, will give the terrorists? Will American intelligence and treatment of terrorists have to be handled with kid gloves in order to protect the “rights” of terrorists? If any advantage is given to the terrorists, America will certainly be harmed in the future.

On the home front in America political correctness has greatly invaded daily social life. And indications are that it is going to increase during Obama’s presidency. Political correctness deprives ordinary citizens of the protection of their laws, while it pleases those who put political correctness into effect. One has to live in America to realize how much political correctness has harmed American culture. And the management in Washington is about to make it more so in the months to come. So, stay tuned, and do not be surprised at what comes at you from down the road.

American’s Changing Values, By Roger Behra

SHORT COMMUNICATION 81

American’s Changing Values

By

Roger Behra

Does America’s new president, Barack Obama, down deep inside himself, really hate the very free country that elected him to be the first black president in America’s history? His beginning activities and decisions seem to indicate that he does. He feels that his job is to change the very free country he was elected to lead as fast as he can. Many of his decisions go into effect by executive order without the input of anyone else. And he has started his activities with America’s core values at the top of his list.

Very early in his presidency the indications point disturbingly in that very direction as he arranged meetings with foreign leaders. His warm and friendly meeting with the likes of Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, who is greatly curbing the rights and freedom of his own people and taking his country down the path to socialism. Obama’s from the waist bow to the king of Saudi Arabia in London gave the impression that the king was an okay guy, which is just the opposite.

Obama’s trips in Europe and meetings with several leaders were fact finding trips to gather information bring socialism into the American way of life. This is proof enough that he is not satisfied with his country, and he plans to change as quickly as he can. That hits directly at America’s core values. America has never accepted the likes of Hugo Chavez, the king of Saudi Arabia, any Arab or Muslim leader as shinning examples of how to improve a democracy.

An important change he is about to make is America’s relationship with Israel. And Israel realizes it is not going to be good for them. Israel is already in the mode practicing a doomsday survival for coming events with Iran. If the United States did not support and help Israel, they would already be wiped off the map. Israel does not bother anyone unless they are bothered. They devote their activities to keeping their economy and democracy going well.

Now, Obama wants to have a warmer relationship with Israel’s enemies and a cooler relationship with Israel. That is not the way to go. It will merely give encouragement to Israel’s enemies, and it will fuel hatred more so. It is another hit on America’s core values.

Unfortunately, Obama thinks that peace between Israel and her Arab and Muslim neighbors will one about as America abandons her core values and greatly warms up to terrorist leaders. America’s allies, who share her core values, are quite worried, also. They realize that Obama’s thinking and actions are greatly misguided, indeed.

Those of you who support America’s democracy and core values in regards to international relationships and here at home are in for a bumpy, uncertain, and, perhaps, a quite dangerous ride. Stay tuned, Americans. And standby, America. Included in Obama’s misguided thinking and actions is his thoughts of making America one of the newest socialistic countries in the modern world, as fast as he can, before your very eyes.

Today’s Laws vs. Core Values, By Roger Behra

Today’s Laws vs. Core Values

By

Roger Behra

In modern world of today in America the understanding and practice of core values are being ignored and absent from daily life. And this lack of understanding and practice in America’s culture and way of life is greatly harmful. The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the Greatest Generation and the court system in America.

What are core values? Core values are norms of behavior that include decent social customs, good and solid traditions, and practice of very good morality through religious teaching and word of mouth. These values include many modes of acceptable behavior that we must do and must not do.

At the top of the must do list are two Greatest Commandments and the Ten Commandments. They guide us in the practice of avoiding sin and living good moral lives. Ignorance (which is no excuse) of the Commandments is at the root of the most of the daily and personal problems in the world of today and especially in America. In our modern day life we have horrendous murders, abortion, divorce (1 of every 2 marriages), adultery, stealing, cheating, falsehoods, greed, corruption, ten-age sex and ten-age abortions, and foul language everywhere. Sunday church attendance has declined more and more each year. Foul language is common by children in front of their parents and other adults, and teachers.

The courts in the cities throughout America are greatly to blame. In many cities laws have replaced good common sense. Courts overrule voter’s ballot decisions and turn around existing laws. The changing of acceptable laws of human behavior and customs and moral values are, therefore, enforced by law enforcement officials. This greatly harms the culture and shows clear signs of our uncivilized society. It is the end result of liberals taking over in America. And we must keep in mind that members of the court system are also members of the Greatest Generation.

Along with court system in America the Greatest Generation has turned out to be not so great. They have failed to pass down to new generations by word of mouth and religious teaching good core values. The Greatest Generation ignored wholesome traditions. As a result new generations are ignorant of the benefits of good core values that grandmother and grandfather practiced as a normal and daily way of life. It is a shame on them, and the lasting effect cannot be changed for the better. Unfortunately, the Greatest Generation is the victim of their great failure as well. Their children and 06/01/09neration not failed in their responsibilities, their legacy would be one never to be equaled now or in any future.

The Decision Is Your, By Roger Behra

SHORT COMMUNICATION 79

The Decision Is Your

By

Roger Behra

Recently, an article in The Orange County Register told the readers the condition of religious life in America, and the condition is far from very good. Religious life in America is definitely on the decline. Irreligious life has taken a leap forward. Strong religious life in America has declined to only moderate throughout America. It is somewhat strong only in the Shout and Southeastern parts of America. When all areas are considered, that does not bode well for the country as the study indicates.

Atheists, who do not believe in God or an afterlife, and agnostics, who believe that there is no proof that God and an afterlife really exist, have noticeably increased in number. Those that believe in God and religious living are only moderate in their behavior. The irreligious and moderately religious groups combined make up the largest percentage in America.

The questions are where do you stand in regards to religious living, and what are you going to do about it? The following three paragraphs may help the irreligious and moderate groups to adjust their thinking in this matter.

People must remember that life here on earth is only temporary. And it can really and at any time. We must, therefore, make the correct decision very early in life, because only God knows when a life will end.

If a person A believes in God and keeps His laws and lives a good religious life, but when person A dies and there is no god or afterlife, person A has not lost anything. He or she gained only a better life here on earth, which is fine in itself. If person B does not believe in God and does not keep His laws and does not believe in an afterlife, but when person B dies and there really is a God and an afterlife, person B has lost everything. And God will judge person B and give an eternity of eternal damnation.

Therefore, the strong and sensible suggestion is this. Learn about the very abundant proof that God exists and that His laws are for our benefit and that there is really an afterlife. Make the decision very soon. Only God knows how much time is left for you. Be among the millions who have chosen to be person A. The decision is yours. You have the power to transform your life and your eternity. And in the end, which must come sooner or later, you will have gained everything, indeed.

We must always remember that life is a constant battle between good (God, His laws, graces, helps, and blessings) and evil (Satan and his lies, hatred, and false promises) and the possession of our souls for all eternity. All the abundant and definitive evidence reveals that good is the only safe and beneficial outcome now and for all eternity.

What Ails the Modern World, By Roger Behra

What Ails the Modern World

By

Roger Behra

There is certain percentage of the world’s population that knows what ails the modern world. (Ail means to be ill or to grow weak). That is the condition of the modern world-ill and weak. And it is growing more so as each day passes.

That is very evident as we witness all the events and great suffering and all the natural disasters, killings, and other unspeakable crimes being committed by mankind each and every day.

The certain percentage of the world’s population that knows what ails the modern world is the number of people who knows and keeps God’s laws. They keep God’s laws every day as a matter of daily life. They adjust their lives to let God’s laws always to be their guide. Their moral compasses are headed in the right direction and functioning quite well.

For those who do not know, God’s laws are the following:

A. Love God with your whole mind, body, and actions.
B. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
C. The Ten Commandments.

1. I am your God, you shall not have strange gods before me.
2. You shall not take the name of your God in vain.
3. Keep holy the Sabbath Day.
4. Honor you father and mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or husband.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

God gave us His laws to live by because He knew we needed guidelines to live with in order to be happy here on earth as we showed our love for His and our neighbor. When we fail to know His laws live by them each day, we end up miserable here on earth and throw away a happy eternity with Him later, when our time here on earth ends.

So, the power rests with us. We determine the quality of our lives here and our eternity, later. The sad fact is this. The large percent who fail to learn God’s laws and keep them hurt not only themselves, they cause great sadness and unhappiness for all those who do know and keep God’s laws. That is the present recently.

Finally, the joyful fact is this. The percentage of people who honor and love God and keep His laws receive His abundant blessings, graces, and helps in their daily lives in spite of the cultural harm the irreligious and law breakers cause in people’s lives. God’s rewards are most fitting result in the battle of good vs. evil. And God’s rewards blend in very well into all cultures of the world. Thanks be to God!
