Flip.

"Donald Trump is the master of flipping an argument."

These words, uttered by a television commentator, have taken flight in our political arena.

We have seen the President making statements which are the direct opposite of the truth.

But backwards statements have their origin in Satanic magic.

Anything backwards or upside-down is likely to be Satanic.

So they are playing with fire.

And the implications are horrifying.

Crime.

I always found it fascinating that visiting people in prison was included in the virtues to be rewarded by God in Matthew 25.

This should give us some idea of God's attitude to criminals and crime itself.

Certainly God does not write them off in the way that most modern people do.

There is no cry for harsh punishments or the "lock them up and throw away the key" approach.

Instead God treats prisoners as human beings.

He tries to help them and restore them to society.

This hints at Restorative Justice.

God's approach is rehabilitation, reeducation, and reform.

There are reasons why people turn to crime.

Not the least of these being the criminal oppression imposed by Plutocrats.

Corporations and businesses expect everything and give nothing in return.

Entrenched poverty and injustice are strong motivations for crime.

But most of all God loves His Children even if they are criminals.

In my experience God punishes no one.

He writes off our debts and lets us start again.

The Lie.

Jesus preached mercy and forgiveness.  

But after the Prophet was dead the rich and powerful of this world seduced his followers and appropriated his name, adding it to the list of names that establish their power on Earth.

Thus was reestablished the theology of punishment and judgement.

Two Masters.

Jesus said: "'No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other.  You cannot serve God and money (sic).'" Matthew 6:24 (NRSV)

Sundown.

When the Sun goes down

We are not left in darkness.

We see by the light of the Moon,

which is sunlight reflected,

And the Stars,

which are distant Suns.
