YOUR OPINION
COMMUNISM IN AMERICA?
Editor,
A recent immirant to America starts a small run-down-looking general store. Through his business genius and a brand new business philosophy, his business grows over time and even revolutionizes the way business is conducted. This immigrant rises from rags to riches, making his own way in America based upon sheer merit. This would not be possible under the heavily regulated social structure in other parts of the world. Examples like this one symbolizes the American dream. This was possile when the government kept clear of every sector of the economy. While this was true in America's past, is it still true in the present?
World Net Daily says, "For more than half a century, capitalism in the United States has taken a beating from the socialist revolution. Despite the best efforts of conservatives since the Roosevelt era, socialists have made great strides towrd converting the nation to socialism."
What exactly is socialism? American Heritage Dictionary 2009 defines socialism as "Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the mens of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy." This definition, although quite long and conplicated, is essentially defining socialism as a centrally planned and a centrally controlled economy.
The U.S. government is taking over banks, car manufacturers and the energy industry. It is leaping down the road towards socialism. It is just a question of what they will take over next. America is only a few years from being an utterly socialist state.
Also according to American Heritage Dictionary 2009, socialism is "The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfuly achieved." Essentially, this says that socialism is an intermediate step from capitalism to communism. Intermediate steps are not permanent. If America switches from a capitalist nation to a socialist state, there is no reson to suppose that it will not continue the descent, and inevitatably fall into Communism!
What a travesty for internal forces of Communism to destroy the greatest beacon of freedom on earth! The question is: What are we to do about this danger? Freedom is protected through the use of four boxes: the soapbox, the ballot box, the jury box and the ammo box. Although not everyone may agree with these four boxes, these are the same boxes our founding fathers used when they founded the free country in which we live. We can take their example to resist the forces of Communism, or we can do nothing at all and be enslaved by our own apathy.

This young man showed more sense than most adults in Congress what the economic future of America is facing good or bad depending on whether the people care or else are indifferent and let the nation fall to utter ruin. Pass this article all over America. This young man knew the truth and was telling the truth! - Erasmus of America
SOUNDBITES OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY! By Erasmus of America, May 21, 2006.
"Early Christianity by early Christian writings correctly explains the Bible to us!" - Erasmus of America
"If you would know Christ, read the Scriptures!" - St. Jerome, translator of the Vulgate Bible for the Roman Empire
Irenaeus Against Heresies around 180 A.d. wrote the political teaching of early Christianity in Book IV, Chapter XV: "...and that God has always preserved freedom, and the power of self-government in man, while at the same time He issued His own exhortations, in order that those who do not obeyHim should get righteously judged (condemned) because they have not obeyed Him: and that those who have obeyed and believed on Him should be honored with immortality." In other words act as Christians politically, vote as Christians, make the government Christian if you can, and live legally under the laws of God so you won't be condemned by God for rejecting God as ruler over your life, family, and nation. And you should have prayer and the Bible in your schools so your child will then know God!
Old Testament Covenant concluded with John the Baptist and New Testament Covenant established by Jesus Christ. Irenaeus, Book IV, Chapter IV: "Since, then, the law originated with Moses, it terminated with John (the Baptist) as a necessary consequence. Christ had come to fulfill it: wherefore 'the law and the prophets were' with them 'unto John." The Old Testament was to prepare the way!
Book IV, Chapter VIII: If Christians do not bear good fruit (good works in life), they are rejected by Jesus as Christianity and Christians without good works are not Christianity and Christians before Jesus. "Wherefore also, Paul says, 'I do not seek after a gift, but I seek after fruit (Phil. IV, 17.)... For every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire' (Matt. III, 10.) and "whoever shall defile the temple of God, him shall God defile.' (I Cor. III, 17)" To slander Christ or commit heresy is defilement. To say the works of the Holy Ghost are of Satan is to defile )blashpehmy)!
Bishop Irenaeus demonstrated that first Christian laity elected (by big mother city churches) and the Apostles ordained including deacons, bishops, etc. (Acts VI, 3-7). After the Apostles were dead, their successors they had ordained as bishops (overseers) then examined candidates for bishops elected by the big city mother churches, approved their loyalty to Apostolic Christianity, and then ordained as bishop of that city church the candidate locally chosen by the church members and clergy in that city.
Book IV, Chapter XVIII, "...that the bread over which thanks had been given (in Holy Communion) is the body of their Lord, and the cup His blood, ..." (Early Christianity such as Justin Martyr 120 years after Christ described in Latin Holy Communiohn as "transmutation" meaning changing one substance into another.) "For as the bread which is produced from the earth, when it receives the invocation of God, is no longer common bread, but the Eucharist (body of Christ), consisting of two realities, earthly and heavenly: so also our bodies when they receive the Eucharist (body of Christ) are no longer corruptible, having the hope of the resurrection to eternity." (Early Christianity taught you became of the flesh of Christ to resurrection by this. But confess and repent of any sins before Holy Communion!)
On Prescription Against Heretics, Tertullian, around 200 A.D., Chapter XXXIII: "To this test, therefore, will they be submitted for proof by those churches, who, although they derive not their founder from apostles or apostolic men (as being of much later date, for they are in fact being founded daily), yet since they agree in the same faith, they are accounted as not less apostolic because they are akin in doctrine." (Churches teaching the same doctrines as the original churches founded by the Apostles are also Apostolic churches! But do join with one of the original Apostolic mother churches as soon as the new independent church can for the sake of unity!
Ad Nationes I, Chapter III, "...we make Sunday a day of festival (day of worship)." Tertuallian, Against Marcion, love God totally and your neighbor as yourself fulfills all the law of Christianity!
Irenaeus Book IV, 7: "He shall also judge those who give rise to schisms (divisions), who are destitute of the love of God, and who look to their own special advantage rather than to the unity of the Church; ad who for trifling reasons, or any kind of reasonwhich occurs to them, cut to pieces and divide the great and glorious body of Jesus, and so far as in them lies, (positively), destroy it (the Church-the Body of Christ on earth),...For no reformation of so great inportance can be effected by them, as will compensate for the mischief arising from their schism." (Reformation if needed was to be done by councils of bishops, not by private revolt against Church unity!)
Later comment added: 2 Thess. 2:1-7 which refers to he who hinders the Antichrist from appearing is the final Roman Imperial authority. Early Christianity taught the Apostle Paul taught the first Apostolic churches this oral teaching passed on orally because it would have triggered off savage persecution of the Christian churches if it was known that they were predicting the eventual fall of the Imperial authority of Rome which would have been treated as treason against Rome to predict this. To correct Dr. Jack Van Impe who taught many fine points but slipped up here, the hinderer who keeps the Antichrist from being able to rise to power under Satan's influence is not the Holy Ghost, but the Roman Imperial authority. When the final Roman Imperial authority is removed, then the Antichrist can arise. The secret is once the preset number of Christians is won from the human race to God, then God has obtained the population He wanted for Heaven. Then God allows the Antichrist to win power to lead the corrupt on earth to their own final destruction before God since they hate God so fiercely. These two items were taught by first Christianity from the time of the Apostles of Jesus Christ on and is recorded in the writings of first Christianity which survived the fall of the Westen half of the Roman Empire long ago. Constantinople survived as the Eastern Rome of the Roman Empire. Erasmus of America is the final lawful branch of the Imperial Line of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Long ago, Erasmus of America with Heaven as witness declared that Jesus Christ was the successor to all claims to the Roman Empire. This automatically fulfills that Jesus is now King of Kings and Lord of Lords over mankind on earth by even the laws of man as well as of God very soon. The final sign is being shown that Jesus will soon return to earth to His Bride Church on earth which is the church militant, not the church of the cowards, whimps, and hypocrites. Jesus is heir to all temporal claims of Erasmus of America including the Vatican endorsed food process, the Jefferson Davis authority for the Confederate States of America which never legally surrendered to the Union, and to the claims to the Louisiana Purchase which Wash., D.C. by legal stupidity sold legal title back to and defaulted legal title back to the descendant French royal line with authority to handle all claims to the Lousiana Purchase . In the end all title to the United States will have to be granted to Jesus Christ when He comes as the price the Confederate States of America and the Louisiana Purchase will not leave the federal union. The delegates for the Confederate Government years ago at Hot Springs, Arkansas already by 100% vote legally declared Jesus Christ as the King of the Confederate States of America. In the end, the rest of America should accept Jesus as one more their Lawful King as George Washington had written into the U.S. Constitution ending with Jesus Christ declared in the U.S. Constitution to be "Lord" meaning King already of America. Also, George Washington when asked to be King of America declined stating that Jesus Christ was already King of America, but George Washington would agree to be President of the United States of America. The covenant of America with Jesus Christ starting in 1776 will be restored to legal power when this godless would-be Antichrist government of Obama is overwhelmed by the Confederate movement of the real Christians of America.
Like military intelligence, God has His secrets He hides until the right moment. Jesus Christ will soon be King of all of America. But it starts in the South!
