NETTIE-OLOGY: LIBERAL WORDS- LIBERAL LIES

 in ebook format only  
I have thought for some time now and have recently began saying: They are not talking about racist but prejudice and stereotypes.

There is a segment of the population who specializes in sharing their message of lies as if it were truth they call themselves liberal. By definition to be liberal is to be generous; most people think of a liberal person as giving. Liberals are neither generous or giving.  The ideology of modern day liberalism is based on lies which their words reveal if you listen to them long enough.

Liberals (pseudo-liberals) successfully use the media to force feed people, who choose not to actually research what they are being told, misrepresentations of the truth. The reason Conservatives refer to many news outlets as “fake news” is because of how obvious the information presented is manipulated.

 If you repeat something often enough the hearer will believe it, even if it is a lie. 

I don't know anyone who is not a racist according to these liberals. What is racism? Racism, sexism, homophobia and such are all terms CREATED in recent years to accuse individuals who DO NOT AGREE with (pseudo)liberals.  I would submit to you  that the very things these individuals imply others are they themselves are but the term should not be "racist" but PREJUDICE AND STEREOTYPE.

  • PREJUDICE- They are notorious for pre-judging people based on their stereotypical identification classifications. 
  • STEREOTYPE- pseudo-liberals classify people in various groups aka identity politics: African-American (aka Black, or Black non-Hispanic), Hispanic (non-white), Latino, and LBQ…..(whatever other alphabets there are) Each group has personality traits and lifestyle definition assigned according to "their" beliefs. For example: African-Americans are victims of White male oppression. 

These PREJUDICE people are so good at messaging that they have convinced their loyal followers that Russia has influenced elections despite evidence of their misdeeds  (found ballots, illegals voting, the "New"  Black Panther Party intimidating voters).  Another example of how prejudice and not racism is the source of liberal lies is the idea of victimization: Example:
Black people (African-Americans) believe that White people have oppressed them and stopped them from succeeding though history is full of successful Black people.  The message is so strong that despite having modern day people of color who are not only intellectually  knowledgeable and  financially successful many Black people believe they will always be dependent on the government for handouts.

Unfortunately, the term CONSERVATIVE has been linked to narrow mindedness in a negative way.  I am narrow minded when it comes to my faith, I am a follower of Yeshua, and I believe in a fiscally conservative small  government- I will not deviate from that foundation.  Conversely Liberals are not tolerant which makes them not liberal.

CONSERVATIVES ARE NOT discriminatory in nature, not like so called “liberals” who want those who disagree with them to suffer. Christians should be narrow minded, we are told to have the “mind of Christ” (Romans 15:5-6) thus not embracing the foolish ideologies of this world. To be liberal is, by their standards, to accept whatever theory the wind blows in (I am being facetious but still!).

Pseudo-liberals have not only redefined words they have rewritten history! Google will not teach you what you need to know and Wikipedia is not always right.  If you study Scripture you will begin studying history- perhaps that is why they are now trying to change the Bible!  Most followers of the Democrat party do not take the time to research what they are being told, you can make it hard to find the truth but it is still possible to find.  The #WalkAway movement is growing because many people are thinking about what they are being told, they are studying things for themselves, they are correctly separating themselves from liberal lies and embracing truths.

MY JOURNEY: November 25, 2018 I don’t have to go, I am doing it voluntarily!

There are a host of things that I am not “fond” of when it comes to attending any traditional church but right now I am thinking about the tithes and offerings. When I visit a church I do not attend with the intention of giving any money UNLESS the Spirit prompts me to do so. There have been occasions in which people have offered to give or actually given me money to place in the offering plate / basket.  One lady once told me that she did not want me to “miss out on my blessing” because I had nothing to give! (She needs to read my ebook BROKEN AND NOT ASHAMED.) 

I am a giver and not just to my church, but I don’t give because people are watching me as the offering platessssss go past me. I don’t give because people think my blessing is tied to the dollars and cents I put in a church bank account. And I am offended by people handing me money to put in the offering plate AS IF GOD DOES NOT KNOW IT IS NOT MY MONEY!!!! Don’t assume I do not have money because I have not given.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:7
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

Think about it: God loves a cheerful giver. Who wants to give because they have to? And who wants to give because people around you think you are not saved because you don’t have at least a dollar to put in the offering plate? 

Perhaps the reason I am not giving is the message does not agree with Scripture, which is usually the case. Or, maybe I am not giving because I do not believe the church stewards the money it receives properly. Another reason I may not give is because I see the fruit the church has produced. Ultimately, I do not give because the Spirit of God has not prompted me to do so.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:10
Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

I believe YHWH provides seed to be sown on fertile ground. My giving is based on where the Spirit of the Lord directs which is why I am blessed.

MORE JEWISH THAN A JEW!

MY JOURNEY: November 24, 2018 The Jews got it wrong? Really?

I am watching various YouTube videos on Hebraic Roots, Messianic Believers and such and I am listening to some of these people and getting more and more confused by the second. As I listen to one credentialed individual he sounds very knowledgeable- he has to know what he is talking about right? Then I listen to this Jewish person who believes in the Messiah and I am thinking “Now this person knows the Torah!” Until I listen to this other person who was in the Christian church serving with a passion until he saw the light, I identify with part of his testimony so I listen to more of what he has to say.  BUT, what about this Black man who is teaching about faith in Yeshua and acceptance of the Torah? What about any of them.

My first interactions with Judaism was as a private duty nurse in Jewish homes. There were some things I absolutely could not do and other things that were permissible. Some of the things that were permissible would not be tolerated by a few of the YouTubers I have watched. Some of these YouTubers believe that many of todays Jews don’t follow the Torah as they should; by their definition they are more Jewish than Jews.

One of the things I struggle with is what to eat. Personally I believe ,many people who think they are obeying the dietary laws are fooling themselves. They may not eat shell fish or pork but their genetically modified vegetables and their hormone injected meets are far from ‘clean’.
Owning a prayer shawl or having tzitzit does not make you Torah compliant!
There are a few YouTubers whom I am not in 100% agreement with but I respect their teachings. Like many of the “Christian” teachers who present their understanding without condemnation, there are Torah believing YouTubers who share they journey without telling others what to believe. Our relationship with Yeshua is personal therefor no one can really tell you what to believe.

RACE IN THE BIBLE

MY JOURNEY: Friday, November 23, 2018

I am studying for a class I will be teaching next year and I made a point in my notes which gave me a pause. When did Yeshua (Jesus) become a blue eyed blond? Apparently, people have been making images of the Messiah in the image and likeness of themselves for centuries. Racial divisions have been a tool of Satan since BC- before Christ. Remember YHWH divided us by language not pigment.

GALATIANS 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

This verse says a lot! Both Jews and Greeks, gentiles) can follow Yeshua. Both slaves (poor people) and free (those who are not dependent on someone else) can follow Yeshua. Both male and female are free to worship and serve the Lord. Everyone falls under one of these catagories, pigment will vary depending on the amount of sun it gets thus it becomes irrelevant.

Satan knows that our bodies are temporary coverings necessary for while we are on this earth. The demons know that our skin color is an irrelevant factor in our eternal life.  But man has allowed the works of Satan to influence his behavior based on pigment.

The obvious acts are Black versus White and White versus Black but there is animosity within individuals who are of the same race! Fair skin, dark skin, to green, to yellow, the list of categories of people based on pigment is long. Yet in Galatians we see mention of: Jew, Greek, slave, Free, Male and Female.

Unfortunately, I don’t see an end to the race debate. Black people will continue to go to their Black churches because they don’t think White people worship right. White people will continue to go to White churches because they don’t “get” Black churches; neither do I! In the multi-racial non-denominational church I once attended people gathered together according to race and culture.

GALATIANS 3:28-29 THE MESSAGE
In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises.

I OFTEN tell people: There is no Black heaven and a White heaven, if you cannot get along with people now then how do you expect to go to heaven???

Race is not an issue in the Bible and cries of racism today should not be an issue for those who are in the Family of Christ.

Note: Sexism, homophobia, and such are not in Scripture either.

YOU AIN'T ME!

MY JOURNEY: November 20, 2018 #2 My blessings are for me.

One of the things that used to give me pause is things not happening to me as people preached it. I used to attend those preachin’ kind of churches in which the louder the speaker talked the greater the blessing I was supposed to have. These preachers would share stories about people who received fantastic blessings just because.   In my ebook BROKE-EN AND NOT A$HAMED I talk about this a little.

As I study Scripture and listen to other Christians talk I am learning what is not right as well as what is True. My testimoniesssssss, are based on my life and my responses to life many people have gone through similar things and landed in a different spot because they are not me.

This is my point: YOU AIN’T ME so don’t think you are going to get the same results I get. I share my journey and the lessons I have learned along the way but you have to walk you own path.

BUT! You ain’t them either; you are not those motivational speakers, the inspirational preachers or the lifestyle teachers. Messages, no matter who is speaking, should be used as a source of information, not the only source but a source.

Once I freed myself from other peoples opinions and began depending on what “thus sayeth the Lord” Scripture became more personal. 
That’s what you gotta do, personalize the word. 

  • Not every prophetic word spoken over the television is for you. 
  • Not every blessing is for you.
  • Not every gift is for you.
  • Not everyone is meant to be millionaires or billionaires. 
  • Not everyone is meant to be famous.


PHILIPPIANS 2:12
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

Faith comes by working it out in your heart not by my telling you what to believe.

HAY-SOOS!

MY JOURNEY: November 20, 2018

The guy who repairs my computer name is: Jesus pronounced Hay-soos. Imagine talking to Jesus (Hay-soos) about Jesus. It seems easier to say Yeshua.
Everyone has a god but I serve the God. Imagine talking to a Christian Scientist about God while she is thinking about the god that she serves. It brings clarity to the conversation when I use YHWH.



JOHN 17:18-19 THE COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE
Just as you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. On their behalf I am setting myself apart for holiness, so that they too may be set apart for holiness by means of the truth.

To be sanctified is to be set apart, not in a crazy kind of way as you see many demonic influenced people behave today. Believers set themselves apart by living as Yeshua has instructed.

I have no problems with people saying God or Jesus, this is my journey and this is how Abba is teaching me.                                                            written by Marsha L F Randolph

MY HEBRAIC ROOTS

MY JOURNEY: Monday November 19, 2018

I have landed on another level. My journey began many years ago when I heard a voice on the radio declare: "Friends to brighten your day, here is the message of hope!" Sometimes, at the age of 9, I heard the entire message other times I did not. At the end of the message was a confession of faith- I believed back then therefore I confessed. 
At the age of 9 the gifts in me began to stir, I was in 3rd grade. At the age of 29 I was filled with the Spirit of God and at the age of 30 I was baptized in water. At the age of 35 I was chasing after YHWH, having entered a Ministry Training and Development School. As I look back I see how I have been seeking the Truth for as long as I knew there was Truth to seek.

DEUTERONOMY 4:29
But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
PSALM 14:2
The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
ACTS 17:26-27 TREE OF LIFE VERSION
From one He made every nation of men to live on the face of the earth, having set appointed times and the boundaries of their territory. They were to search for Him, and perhaps grope around for Him and find Him. Yet He is not far from each one of us,

I have heard Scripture interpretations from various people. I have listened to: laymen, drunk men, high men;  as well as church leaders with PhD's, Masters degrees and PhDs. I have listened to church leaders from various denominations BUT  I threw out everything that was said that was contrary to God's word- and it was quite a bit!
Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit of God)  has been guiding (or trying to) since I was 9 years old.Church doctrine, traditional ideology has hindered my knowledge. Bad life decisions has stopped me from advancing in the Kingdom. And, not being able to trust various teachers has prevented me from understanding many biblical truths.
MARK 7:13
making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
I am learning, which is why I understand the significance of Jesus being Jewish and how it relates to me. Yeshua was not grafted into my life I was grafted into Him.

YESHUA WAS NOT GRAFTED INTO MY LIFE! 

JOHN 15:4-5
 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
Many church leaders use the Old Covenant as a diving board to present a modern world message but ignore the concepts within. Another way of saying this is: Many churches today do not teach the commandments, guidelines, regulations, precepts, laws found in the Old Testament but they know they cannot ignore it so they extract what can be used for their message and move on. I tested their messages.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:21
Test all things; hold fast what is good.
ACTS 17:11
These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

I am required, commanded, to search Scripture and validate the words that I hear. I am expected to seek YHWH for knowledge and understanding. (So are you!)  Since the age of 9 I have been drawn towards Him. Today I am convinced that I cannot, as I have been taught, ignore the Torah- the Pentateuch, the first 5 books of the Old Testament- the Hebraic roots of which the Vine emanates from. If I consider myself a follower of Yeshua Hamashiach then I must follow the commandments, guidelines, rules, precepts, et. al. that He requires that I follow.


AS A FOLLOWER OF YESHUA HAMASHIACH,
 I MUST BE AWARE THAT THE VINE HAS HEBRAIC ROOTS.


For those who declare we are not under the law but under grace: I challenge you to discover what grace is for. Grace is made perfect in me because of my falling short of obedience to the law. The law reminds me of YHWH's love in that it teaches me how to live a good life.

In my journey I have begun to learn about and embrace my Hebraic roots which has taken me to a new level in faith. SHALOM!                           written by Marsha L F Randolph

FAKE FAITH

MY JOURNEY: NOVEMBER 15-17 2018  Who do I believe????

Yeshua, Yashua, Yahshua???I have struggled in this blog post just as many people have struggled in their faith. I always encourage people to study the Word of YHWH for themselves but even it the literature available there are areas of confusion. The confusion is mostly in spelling for example: In using the name of our Lord whom Christians refer to as Jesus, is it Yashua, Yeshua or Yahshua? The answer is not that deep: It depends on who is writing it: Greek, Hebrew, whoever.


Unless you are proficient in interpreting the original writings you are dependent on the interpretations of others. Transliteration, interpreting the words from one language to another is not easy. I have often heard my Spanish speaking friends use an English word because there was not a Spanish word equal in meaning to the word they are translating. Often what is used is a word or phrase that comes close to the word or even the Ottiot (the signs / symbols used to write the Word of YHWH).  Because the place where I worship uses the spelling Y-A-S-H-U-A I try to use this spelling though from time to time I may spell the name of my LORD Y-E-S-H-U-A.
I made a decision, it is always about your personal decision otherwise your faith is not your own. Fake faith is based on the traditions of man and not the word of YHWH. I had a faith that was fake and there are some beliefs that I have that may not be real still. There is so much crap out there and the so-called church leaders are busy trying to convince all who listen that they are speaking the truth and everyone else is fake.




1 JOHN 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 



The one thing my mother ingrained in me for as long as I have been following Yashua is to not put my trust in Church leaders. Despite her words of caution I have still accepted many truths because EVERY CHURCH BELIEVED IT, non-denominational and denominational.
But God! For me there is always a comma after something someone teaches me. I am so thankful that Pastor Myrtis Olique put up with my challenges, questions and straight out rebellions nature for over 18 years as I searched the Scriptures.

ACTS 17:11
These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
Yahovah Eloheem Ministries the "Church" that I am a part of is a Hebraic Root Assembly. Though its' social media presence is growing it is physical location cannot brag about standing room only attendance.  It was not until I left Y. E., as we call it, and began teaching in one of those sugar coating churches that I discovered how far from the truth the children of GOD have ventured.

To tell someone their faith is not real is not an easy task. People have faith, confidence it, trust in, belief in: their church leader, their doctors and their bank account; they are rooted in their lifestyle. As I am drawn into studying the Hebraic roots of my faith, removing all of the false doctrines from my mind I pray that I can show someone what I see. 

MARK 7:13
making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

It is a process. One by one I am evaluating my traditions, what I believe and putting them in the pleasing YHWH or not pleasing YHWH pile. As I seek to please ABBA He blesses me more.                                           written by Marsha L F Randolph

NETTIE-OLOGY: COMMUNICATION

QUESTION: "Didn't you get my text? "
ME ANSWERING: "No"

I purchased my cell phone so that I could talk to people, if it does not ring I have no way of knowing you are trying to communicate with me. 
My phone does not beep or make any form of noise when you send a text message, messenger on Facebook or any other method of sending me information other than calling me. AND IF I AM BUSY I don't answer the phone- I have caller ID.

I believe the best form of communication is face to face with one person talking and the other person listening. In lieu of in person discussions a telephone or cellular phone is sufficient, however there is the risk of misunderstanding a person because of ones inability to see his eyes. Text messages can be misinterpreted- not everyone knows that all caps is a yelling.

NETTIE-ISM: RETIREMENT NOT AN OPTION

I don't plan on ever retiring but I do want to reach a point in which I can live comfortably and debt free if I decided to not work.  I know so many people in their 60's who are not in a place financially in which they can stop working.

available  ebook only 
In my Tax Preparation business I refer young people to a financial adviser who can help them develop a retirement plan. I talk to everyone about getting debt free. Most people cannot handle an emergency, which is why the government has to step in when there are weather related disasters and the community to has to assist when a person has to bury a loved one.Rarely does a client listen to me the first time.

Since I wrote YOU'RE NOT READY I have learned: People need to not only focus on  getting debt free  but they also need to learn to live within their means. DON'T GET OUT OF DEBT JUST TO GET BACK IN!

WHAT DOES VICTORY LOOK LIKE?

MY JOURNEY: Wednesday, November 7, 2018 I am moving on.
LUKE 4:18-19
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

So much has happened this year! Politically, personally, and with those around me.  For some it has revealed what they really believe- they believe and trust in man more that YHWH. For me it has demonstrated my love for him and increased my focus on those things in the Spirit more so than the trials and tribulations of this world.

Politically, there is no real victory. There is no Democrat or Republican in heaven. Many Democrats believe they are saved because they have confessed Jesus as Lord yet God judges the heart. It is written: Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34).  When a Christian promotes behaviors such as: abortion, same sex unions and other anti-biblical lifestyles, it becomes clear they do not believe in their hearts that Jesus is Lord.  That is true for all political ideologies.

It is difficult to have an ideology different than those around you. I come from a family of Democrats and am married to a Democrat; I live in a community of Democrats; many do not consider themselves liberal but their ideology is liberal. My conservative political stance is a problem for many of them but my theology causes them to distance themselves from me. Satan has taken advantage of all these factors and used his demonic forces to push me, once again, into a corner in which he thought I would quit! LAUGH OUT LOUD- REALLY LOUD!!!!

I TRUST YHWH! Let me make this very clear. I care that my family does not hear what I say. I care that my friends are limited in number. I grieve at the number of family and friends who refuse to follow the Word but as for me I will serve the Lord.

DANIEL 6:20
And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”

This year ever fiber of my faith has been tested. If I wrote about it I was challenged to see if I really believe it. Even now the complete manifestation of God's promises has not been revealed- that is why I can claim victory.

I BELIEVE BECAUSE I DO NOT SEE- I JUST KNOW.

What does victory look like?  When Daniel walked into the lion's den he knew that God would work it out. Often Christians will watch Believers going through trials to see what will happen. Will God come through this time? The question is not what God will do but what will you do?  Real victory comes when you focus on YHWH and not your circumstances.

Remember, Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-nego? They believed that if they were placed in the fiery furnace GOD would deliver them and He did. (Daniel 3)

Hebrews eleven is filled with testimonies of believing despite the circumstances, many did not see the fulfillment of the promise  (Hebrews 11:3) yet they knew it to be so.

I believe because He promised and I know His word to be true. This is the victory that I stand on. What does victory look like? Trusting the word more than the world.

PITCHING MY TENT- Using my Shawl

MY JOURNEY: NOVEMBER 4, 2018  Why would anyone use a prayer shawl?  The power is not in the shawl or in covering my head but in the prayer. 

EXODUS 33:7-9 THE COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE
Moshe would take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp. He called it the tent of meeting. Everyone who wanted to consult Adonai would go out to the tent of meeting, outside the camp. 8 Whenever Moshe went out to the tent, all the people would get up and stand, each man at his tent door, and look at Moshe until he had gone into the tent. 9 Whenever Moshe entered the tent, the column of cloud would descend and station itself at the entrance to the tent; and Adonai would speak with Moshe.

Years ago there was a trend among Christians to get Prayer Shawls, I chose not to follow the crowd. When my friend graduated from earth to eternity she had a prayer shawl that I was going to give to her sister but YHWH said for me to keep it. I gave  the prayer to our Pastor-Teacher and asked her to "re-dedicate" it as per the Spirits instructions. There is no biblical standard for such and so neither she nor I knew what to do.  It was about a month before she returned it to me and then it sat on a shelf.
The first time I used the "Prayer Shawl" in prayer it was insignificant and it went back on the shelf.  For me it was something I had heard people preach about but I had not seen anyone really benefit from owning one.  The prayer shawl concept was on hold.

In my obedience to the Father's instructions, despite the opposition from demonic forces,  I began doing what I knew I should be doing: praying, writing, studying. I don't know what I was looking for when I happened upon a YouTube video on a Prayer Shawl ministry in which people crocheted shawls to give away to people who were in need of comfort. This made me research the idea that Prayer Shawls had to come from Israel because they were made a particular way- a Jewish thing! My research on prayer shawls lead me to the biblical reason for tzitzits, tassels and the journey continued.

One day I dawned the prayer shawl, by this time I had decided to make my own, and  I felt comfort.  I was in my prayer closet, my prayer room. NO, there was nothing magical or spooky or weird things happening,  just peace. I remained in that time and space and enjoyed fellowship with Abba.

In the process of time, as I continued to study I happened upon various videos on tzitzit and God's Covenant. and then ALAN HORVATH (see video below)  on YouTube.  I believe what many refer to as a "Prayer Shawl"  is a symbolic cover - a tent; it is not part of the tzitzit.

I have not come to the conclusion that everyone should have a Prayer Shawl or that women need to cover their heads. I do cover my head and I will from time to time use my  prayer covering. As I continue my studies I plan to make a my own prayer cover and  make a camisole like top with my own tzitzit. I will not make the tzitzit until I am sure it is the what I am supposed to do.

For me the Prayer Shawl is symbolic of pitching one's tent.  It is my tent that I pitched when I am communicating with YHWH.  Like Moses His presence never leaves me. There are times, however, when I am interceding or petitioning Him- this is one on One is away from others.

In Exodus 33 Moses pitched his tent outside the camp. The tent was where the YHWH was; Moses went in the tent, the people did not.  Today He is in us and we are in Him. Learn to develop one on one time with Father away from outside interference.
ACTS 17:27-29 THE COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE
God did this so that people would look for him and perhaps reach out and find him although in fact, he is not far from each one of us,  ‘for in him we live and move and exist.’ Indeed, as some of the poets among you have said, ‘We are actually his children.’ So, since we are children of God, we shouldn’t suppose that God’s essence resembles gold, silver or stone shaped by human technique and imagination.

NETTIOLOGY: 2 YOUNG 2 VOTE

Young people at smart at what they do know: How to use a smart phone and how to get to the next level of a video game. What they don't know will keep them from succeeding.

Many young people do not know history, they know what the educational systems have allowed them to see. Many people in my generation are clueless to the truth, I was born in 1960.They have been presented with misrepresentations of the truth, LIES.  For example: The reason for the 13th, 14th and 15th  Amendment.

Listen to Jamal as he shares a brief history

I was in a discussion with a Democrat who declared President Trump was racist. I asked him: How do you know? I pointed out that President Trump had never met him nor had he ever met President Trump. I did not know this for a fact but it turns out I was correct. The individual had a belief based on what other people said. 

MUCH OF WHAT MANY INDIVIDUALS KNOW IS WHAT SOMEONE HAS TOLD THEM. 

Every election is important and the one approaching is equally. The added pressure to vote November 6, 2018 is because Liberal / Socialistic ideology has taken over the Democrat party and many young people don't see what is wrong with it.

If you do not know why Socialism is wrong: Look at all the people who want to come to America- THEY ARE FLEEING SOCIALISM.
If you want to know why Liberalism is wrong: Look at all of the liberally run communities in
America. THESE CITIES HAVE AN IMBALANCE OF EXTREME CRIME AND  POVERTY and isolated elite communities untouched by liberal policies.

THE HOMELESS DO NOT HANG OUT BY MANSIONS!

In Florida there is a Black man running for Governor, he is a Democrat who embraces socialism. 
  • Many people will vote for him because he is a Democrat. 
  • Black people will vote for him because he is Black.
  • Some will vote for him because he supports Socialism.

This man supports STATE TAXES. If you support this idea remember. 

  • Having State Taxes will not eliminate the excessive TOLLS we already pay
  • Having State Taxes will not reduce the amount of SALES TAXES we already pay.
  • Having State Taxes will not reduce the amount of PROPERTY TAXES we already pay. 
  • Having State Taxes will not eliminate or reduce the amount of taxes we pay to support the stadiums and such where over payed athletes and profiting team owners who do not like this country play. 

HAVING STATE TAXES TAKES MORE MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET.  This alone should stop people from voting for the Florida Democrat Candidate.

Do you support the Democrats because they support Planned Parenthood? Take a look around where are the abortion mills? In poor neighborhoods. THERE ARE NO PLANNED PARENTHOODS DOWN THE STREET FROM A MANSION! They want to kill parents of poor children of color, Hispanic and Black- Non-Hispanic. 
IT IS ABOUT KEEPING YOU CONTAINED IN YOUR COMMUNITY- We, Conservatives call it: Keeping you on the plantation. 

Young people are destroying themselves because they don't know what they don't know. Young people who study and seek information for themselves are running away from the Democrat mindset.                              written by Marsha L F Randolph
