- JEFFREY SACHS

America’s history of interference abroad is well-documented, but did other countries not have a motive too? Other likely suspects could feasibly include Ukraine, but also Russia itself — chaotic, irrational behaviour is not an uncommon characteristic of Putin’s Russia. Besides, was it not a slight stretch of the imagination to claim that the US would order the destruction of a piece of public infrastructure that partly belongs to a NATO ally?

Sachs dismissed these questions as as “absurd” and declared that those who didn’t believe America would act against allies in pursuit of its own interests “don’t really know the US.” He believes that decades of antagonistic relations with Russia culminated in the Nord Stream attack, which American foreign policymakers have long viewed as a threat. 

According to Sachs, the America neoconservative view of Russia and the war has now become mainstream. Where Europe’s acquisition of cheap Russian gas was once viewed as ‘trade’, it is now seen as a dependency. That said, the small detail of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have played a part in that.”

American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The "everlasting consequence" is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO -- the war machine.

The only way to have WORLD PEACE is to abolish NATO, G-7 and EU; abandon American imperialism, capitalism, hegemony,warmongering and sanctions; and leave corrupt Ukraine desolate and unsupported economically, financially and militarily. The Ukraine war criminal eyes victory is an illusion and delusion; the reality is Ukraine destroyed and desolate.

The Philippines has taken the WRONG side of America, China must act accordingly. AID to such a useless nation would be a big WASTE!!!

Jesus Christ is coming again!

The world must finally wake up to the dark evil forces and face an aggressive, belligerent, irrational, hegemonic and bad-faith superpower who seeks its monopoly on global power and is the greatest source of instability, chaos, inflation, injustice, trouble and conflict in the world -- which is seeking to contain Russia and China, and strategically crush them at all costs. The West has wronged China since the infamous Opium Wars to the present. Not only there will be no peace, these hostile activities and militant mind-set will inevitably leads to a coming nuclear war to destroy the whole world.

The fake claim and biggest black lie is black Jews. Abraham was not a Negro, the twelve tribes of Israel were not Negroes. David was not a Negro. Jesus was born a Jew, not a Negro. There are no black Jews. Merriam Webster defines Negro as a person of Black African ancestry. The Biblical Jews are neither black nor African.

The two-state proposal is not the two-state solution. For God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. The Chosen People rebelled against God and they were scattered all over the world. During the British colonial rule, the Holy Land was known as Palestine, illegal Arabs moved in to occupy the Holy Land without payment. The illegal Arabs were latter known as Palestinians. Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas have no claim to the Holy Land and no resettlement right in the Holy Land. They do not own one inch of the Jewish land, they now illegally occupied the Promised Land; Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas must at once leave the Jewish land for good. The leaders of the United Kingdom could tell them so. Palestinians could never establish a Palestinian state in the Holy Land. The United Nations or any agency has no authority to give the Jewish land to Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas. Jerusalem is forever the capital of the great King David. It is high time for Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to get out of the Holy Land in peace; or they will be evicted by force. God will fight for Jerusalem, for God is the Protector of Israel.  Palestine only existed in British colonial rule, so Palestinians are not free in Israel; they must be expelled from Jerusalem and the Jewish land, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. They are free to go to Arab nations. Palestinians and Hamas must withdraw from the Jewish land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants without delay. Any strategy to bargain away the Jewish land is wrong.

While I am alive, I am bequeathing all my articles which compose the Christian Faith Library to Christians everywhere absolutely free. You can download and copy all the articles which will make a big book like an encyclopedia. You will know what the Christian Faith is and how to defend it effectively.

---This article is written to let you know those who seek money, power, and pleasure do not know how to live. Those who lie, kill, and destroy are doomed to suffer in Hell for eternity.

This article is written to let you know that neither success nor happiness is the abundant life that every human aspires to. How to live does not mean how to live like Socrates or any world-famous individual. Socrates is not our model; any great individual is not our model also. Jesus sets as our Example, Christians must imitate Christ. But we do not imitate to live like Christ; Christ did not not have many problems and limitations like most people do: education, employment, marriage, family, sickness, loneliness, pain, sorrow, failure, disappointment, ignorance, weakness, and the list goes on indefinitely.

Even Christians do not have the nature and power to live like Christ. It is obvious, Christ is sinless. Even the godly Christians are not sinless. Christ is omniscient and He knows all men and all things. Christians have limited knowledge. Christ is omnipotent, there is nothing impossible with God. Even Christians have difficulty and impossibility. We cannot imitate Christ to walk on the sea, to turn water into wine, to feed the 5,000 with five barley loaves and two fish, to calm the wind and the waves, to raise Lazarus who had been  dead 4 days, etc. etc. We cannot imitate Christ in His sinlessness, power, and wisdom, etc. What we can learn from Christ?

Mat 11:29-30, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Note: To learn of Christ is to follow Christ; to follow Christ is to take up the cross. We must learn from Christ to subject to the will of God even to death on the cross. Gentle in Greek is praus which means meek, mild, humble, free from violence; "Gentleness or meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest. It stems from trust in God's goodness and control over the situation. The gentle person is not occupied with self at all. This is a work of the Holy Spirit, not of the human will (Gal 5:23)." (Strong's Concordance); - which occurs 4 times in the New Testament. Humble in Greek is tapeinos which means lowly in spirit, not proud or arrogant, cast down, unpretentious, down-to-earth, meek, modest; - which occurs 8 times in the New Testament. Have you ever seen American and European leaders who are gentle and humble in heart? All white and black supremacists are arrogant, puffed up, egomaniacs. 

I believe "yoke" here does not mean "sonship", it means "discipleship" -- the relationship between the Lord and His follower. I think the Lord used "yoke" and "burden" synonymously. Yoke in Greek is tapeinos which means "metaphorically used of any burden or bondage" (Strong's Concordance); servitude; - which occurs 7 times in the New Testament. Burden is phortion which means a load, the obligations Christ lays upon his followers; a task or service; duty and responsibility; - which occurs 6 times in the New Testament.

Discipleship is a partnership between the Lord and His follower. The disciple must submit to the Lordship, submit to the authority of the Lord. The Lord and His disciple also share things together; as the Lord leads, His sheep follows. Take the yoke and burden of the Lord is to obey His commandments, and share afflictions of Christ, the sufferings of Christ; to suffer for His name's sake, to suffer for the Gospel. I think the Words of Jesus explain the meaning of yoke and burden: Mar 10:39, "They said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized."  The cup symbolizes hardship, sacrifice, and bearing the cross.

The Christian life is to take upon the yoke and burden of Jesus, and to drink the cup that Jesus drank and be baptized with the baptism with which Jesus was baptized. Christians do not live life on their terms. Christians live on the terms of Jesus Christ. 

If you lie, kill, and rob; defraud, rape, and burn; corrupted by greed, violence, and immorality so much so that you violate the commandments of God; if you are a dictator, corrupt ruler or leader, warmonger, oppressor, terrorist, robber, rapist, arsonist, clearly and certainly not only you do not know how to live; the world would be better off if you had never  been born or never had existed. The wicked and the evildoers are destined to be sent to Hell for eternal punishment.

Jesus Christ is both Divine and Human. Christians are simply human beings, we are born with depraved nature and restricted by many limitations. Jesus Christ never attended university, He is the Wisdom of God, He knows everything and all things and all human beings without being taught. 

Jhn 7:15-18, "The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?” So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."

There is one word "unrighteousness" which can capture the reality of all nations and the condition of all human beings on earth. There is unrighteousness everywhere, and there is no righteousness anywhere.

Unfortunately, human problems influence much how a person lives. The following factors may cause problems for individual lives and affect how people live.

I.  BIRTH COUNTRY

Where you were born has a lot to do with how you live. The difference between being born in an advanced society and a primitive country is vast and inestimable. At university, we had a joke if Einstein were born in African jungle, he would be a good headhunter, but never a physicist. If you were born in Scandinavia, you will not encounter famine, food shortage, epidemic diseases, violence, poverty, corruption, unsanitary condition, etc. that are prevalent and prevailing in many countries and many parts of the world. So the first thing to determine your destiny is where you were born. To be born in a good country is your asset, to be born in a bad country is your bad luck. However, a Chinese can be born in Scandinavia and still is a Chinese with a specific nationality such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, or Iceland. I do not want to list good and bad countries in this world. 

II.  RACE

We do not want to get into the technicality of Anthropology and classification of the human races. We just speak human race in general. We do not want to debate whether racial superiority exists or not. We are not interested in knowing how many races in the world. Like it or not, your race has a lot to determine how you live in this world. Simply there are white, black, yellow, brown, and red races in the world. For example, Singapore is 70% Chinese. It is sheer stupidity to classify Singaporean as Australoid. It is a poor thing that certain racial groups are so backward and unproductive even in the age of high technology. If you belong to a race which treats women and girls badly as a matter of fact. This cultural bias influenced how people live and behave all their lives. One thing is sure the Jews are neither African nor black. I am glad that I am neither Black nor White. 

III.  EDUCATION

Being human, education is a big part of our life, from childhood to adulthood. It is true where you are born, where did you live what language you speak, what university you attend, what kind of job you have, where do you live now can determine your destiny. All these were irrelevant to Jesus Christ. However, they are relevant to Christians on earth.

Language has a great deal that influences the way of thinking, expression, and conduct of life. I say the English language is the only one that "I" is a capital letter, so it maybe the English speaking people are more self-centered. However, English is a very systematic and accurate language. For example, in spoken Chinese language you hardly know whether it is plural or singular, male or female, singular or plural verbs or tenses. It says, People come. 有人来。You will not know whether it is one person or more than one persons come。 You cannot know whether it is a male or female who comes. You do not know what kind of people come.  

Once on a train to Copenhagen I met a mother and a young girl. I heard they speak beautifully and melodiously, but I had no idea what language they spoke. Even though I do not speak many languages, I could identify them by just hearing. Although I could not tell the difference between Korean and Japanese, Hindu and Pakistani. I can identify the dialect of Cantonese although I speak hardly. After inquiry I discovered the mother and daughter spoke Castalian Spanish. I was so surprised because it was not like the Spanish spoken by Mexicans in California. I am glad that I was not born in certain nations. I do not want to list the harsh languages in the world, that would offend many countries and peoples.

When I was working my way in college, there was a British nurse in the hospital. We teased her by saying how come she spoke like something in her tongue. She was not happy about that. However, I thank God from childhood I speak, read, write, and think in English. Years ago in California and even recently I propose my country the United States in the U.S. Constitution to declare American English as the only official language to be used in all communications, public and private, and at all times and all places in America. I believe American English is the most powerful, useful, beautiful and scientific language in the world.

The educational process from kindergarten to university involves many things and many people. Those formative years are vital and consequential. I had a female colleague who told me she was disappointed with her master's degree program. There was a young man who thought to be a social worker was interesting, so he studied sociology. After he got his B.S. degree in Sociology, he landed a job in a county welfare department. He lamented every day because he had to deal with the lowest strata of the society and not interested in their problems. You see what kind of job you do may determine your destiny.

IV.  EMPLOYMENT 

There are more problems with a human life. Your job could be a blessing or a great curse. There are not many people who like or enjoy their jobs. Years ago I have discovered that to like your job you need to like your boss or supervisor, he or she can make your life miserable. Secondly, you must like or enjoy your work daily and weekly and yearly. Thirdly, you need to be happy with your salary and benefits. Fourthly, you need to like your co-workers and get along with them. They can also make your life miserable. The worst of human beings I have ever met in life I met them at work. No one has a choice to decide with whom they work with. Fifthly, you need to like your corporate culture and work environment. Do you know you spend more hours with your colleagues and your supervisor than with your spouse and family members?  Although I have retired more than ten years, I am still hunted by the bad corporate ghost in my dreams.

V.  MARRIAGE 

With whom and to whom you are married also occupies most of your life. Jesus never married or had sex with any woman. The female professor of Harvard divinity school who declared she discovered the wife of Jesus is such a hoax and blasphemy; I believe she had committed the unpardonable sin. Your husband or wife has an unerasable  impact on your life. If you have a good wife or husband, you are blessed all your life. A beautiful woman in old age told me she made a big mistake in her life in looking for the wrong man.

Surprised? The highest divorce rate is not America. It is reported that the divorce rates in America are somewhere between 40% and 50%, almost half of people married will get a divorce. I must make it clear from the beginning that Jesus Christ forbids Christian to get divorce. Mat 19:9, “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Appearances are most deceptive. Millions of people who attended the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana on TV must have believed it was a most ideal marriage. The rest is history.

Although  I have met millions of peoples, I do not know one marriage made in Heaven. 

I knew a most beautiful girl in my youth, due to the mix up of time and space we were separated many years. When the most beautiful girl in the world turned into an old lady, she confided me the greatest secret of her life; the sorest grief of her soul. I was shocked to hear that she said in Chinese that her heart was unwilling

心不甘 (there is no English equivalent that her heart was deeply and regretfully unwilling) because she found the wrong man in her life. It was a marriage without love, she did not love him, in a life long of unhappiness without relief of divorce. You do not know how a woman suffers when the real did not match up with the ideal. The pain of marriage without love is not outsiders can comprehend or understand.

We are both old now, life can never start over again. Christians have only one chance in life of love. I could feel this unspeakable agony, tears and pain in her soul… The most far reaching effects of one’s life are beyond description and calculation when wedlock becomes a padlock. The woman was in the cage until the man died. I think the closest description of her situation was made by Alec-Tweedie who said, “Marriage with love is entering heaven with one's eyes shut, but marriage without love is entering hell with them open.” Although I do not know Alec-Tweedie.

VI.  RELIGION 

It goes without saying that religion greatly influenced how a person lives in this world. Thank God, I was not born a certain race or nationality that predetermines my religion. Some evil religion approves bad treatment of women and girls as a way of life. Some culture devalues women as property. If a religion denigrates and abuses women and girls, so its people do so as a matter of fact. If a religion is superstitious, the people act just the same. Once I met a Catholic girl, I told her the virgin Mary was not perpetual virgin because after giving birth to Jesus, Mary and Joseph had sex and produced several children. I told her it is written in the Holy Bible. Mat 13:55-56, “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” So Mary had Jesus and four other sons and daughters not mentioned. But the Catholic girl believed her church and not the Bible. 

VII.  RESIDENCY

For better for worse, the place you live has great impact on your life. Recently, I was grieved for millions of Texans who did not have water and power due to the wintry blast in February 2021. It is no doubt that where you live affects your happiness, health, and life expectancy. For example, how can you live long and well if you live in a war zone?

VIII.  INTELLIGENCE, VALUE AND PERSONALITY (IVP)

I invented a theory of man called IVP. IVP stands for Intelligence, Value and Personality. Man is a tripartite of being consists of Intelligence, Value and Personality. You do not like or reject certain things or persons or ideologies because your IVP drives you to do so. A low intelligent person does not put much value on education, knowledge, and wisdom. A wicked man does not have moral values. An unpleasant person does not have a charming personality. Lately, on world stage, we watch bullies, tyrants, dictators, and oppressors tell lies on TV. I often think why would a leader or politician attack, oppress, smear, lie, kill, and rob other nations and peoples. Well, such is a warmonger without moral values. You may be surprised to know that the formula of IVP for Hitler is this: HIxLVxMP.

H=High, L=Low, M=Middle.

VIII.  ENVIRONMENT 

Most people think when we speak of environment we mean only the physical environment. Physical environment does have great impacts on human beings; for example, overpopulation, pollution, soil erosion, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, shortage of water, and climate change. More or less, economic and financial environment, political environment, cultural environment, and social environment have probably greater negative impacts too.

Racial discrimination and racial problems are facts of life in the world, in particular the United States of America. Recently the world witnessed how a black suspect was asphyxiated and killed by a white policeman in public on TV. America practices White supremacism where the Whites rule the nation, money and power are in the few hands of Whites. All supervisors are white men and white women although they maybe less educated and less qualified. After living almost half a century in America, my personal experiences confirm the fact of racial discrimination in employment whether hiring and promotion. A white man was hired as manager in the department although he never had policy and procedure experience. The funny part was that every morning he shook hands with me at the office for he made the statement no one in his department knew how to develop policy and procedure, except Willie Wong. The practice of job discrimination had many aspects. Once a white woman in Human Resources asked me if I knew how to climb a tree, a young man who holds a Master's degree from a top American university and who had job experience with the Federal government in Washington, D.C., listened to an Human Resources requirement of climbing a tree put me in a position not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. Once I submitted copies of my B.A. and Master's degree certificates to a big corporation. The strangest and insidious and devious thing was that the Master's degree copy disappeared from the personnel file, in this way when the H.R. is audited could rationally defend itself why the employee was understaffed and underpaid.

I had a colleague of mine who was a Korean American and she holds a CPA. The fact her supervisor, the controller and the Vice President of Finance also did not have a CPA tells the simple fact of job discrimination. I told her not to think about it or else she would be unhappy all her life. I advised her to seek something interesting outside the job. My way of compensating the job discrimination was to lecture at Chinese major universities during my vacation and to satisfy my intellectual abilities with extra curriculum activities such as building and maintaining Internet websites to reach millions of global readers with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. 

The world has been controlled, dictated, dominated, exploited, oppressed, suppressed by Western (American, European, UK, Canadian, Australian) and Japanese imperialism, colonialism, militarism, capitalism, supremacism for more than 500 years. Many atrocities, genocide, injustice, and evil deeds have been disclosed. Only God knows every evil deed committed by America, Europe, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. The funny and ludicrous part is the fact that America and EU now accuse China of practicing national capitalism! Indeed America, EU, UK, NATO, AUKUS, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, and JAPAN have been responsible for 90% of world problems today, another 5% are committed by undeveloped nations self-inflicted civil wars, corruption, backwardness, etc., and the last 5% are committed by Islamic terrorism. The West and Western mainstream media deliberately and habitually ignore the achievements of China such as the historical and monumental achievement of lifting out 770 million peasants from extreme poverty. White supremacists are very wicked people who distort the facts with pleasure: the Chinese virtues they call vices, the Chinese achievements they call failures, the Chinese aid to poor nations they call aggression and neocolonialism, the Chinese hard work and thrift, they call theft of intellectual property, etc., etc. The West continues to lie, kill, and rob in order to maintain world dictatorship and domination. The most atrocious and vicious is the fact that America and European nations, (except the pagan Japan), claim to be Christians nations and doing the most wicked and evil things contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Political environment and circumstances can be formidable. For example, the absurdity is America Extending the Hard Line with China. It is no surprise that White supremacists deliberately and immorally assert that Beijing seems to be galvanizing a new consensus at home. They had been singing the swan song of the demise of Chinese government since 1949. AS NEVER BEFORE, Beijing is even more popular with the Chinese people for all of its concrete achievements, including eliminating abject poverty of 770 million peasants. It is evil and irresponsible to suggest that China triggers American actions. The South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea legally belonged to China long before America, Japan, Australia, India and other nations existed. Under the pretense and pretext of freedom of navigation, America, EU, UK, Australia, Japan habitually violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of many nations. China and Russia never violated the sovereignty of America and NATO. Words matter to American leaders and politicians? Remember, you can lie to the whole world, but you cannot fool God who is the Judge of Living and Dead.  

In my life time Obama at first declared that the U.S. was neutral on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands. For he knew very well that America illegally gave administrative control to the wartime criminal and unconditionally surrendered nation of Japan. In 1971 the U.S. again violated international law and China’s sovereignty by illegally giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. Diaoyu Islands have belonged to China longer than the existence of Japan and America combined. Later Obama changed his words by saying Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan and America would fight to defend Japan. America has defended evil dictators, corrupt rulers, warmongers, thieves and robbers if only they bow to the leadership of America. The lies told by American leaders and politicians in the last 300 years are more than the stars in the sky! Taiwan has always been a part of China long before America existed; and why the U.S. makes Taiwan a de facto American colony, and its allies are trying to rob Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang, and trying to destroy China? The world already knows who is robbing 31 ton gold of Venezuela and oil of Syria, the wealth and palaces of Saddam Hussein, and the wealth of Mohammad Gaddafi of Libya, etc. In the first place the world also knows who robbed the land of the original natives of America and almost killed off the Indian Race! 

If China has stolen the intellectual property of America, how come the Chinese corporation called Huawei has the most advanced 5G technology in the world? Why America and Europe are so afraid of Huawei 5G that they do everything possible to boycott, smear, sanction, target and destroy Huawei? Who is competing with America? Isn't it every nation is free to achieve under the international law? Whenever and wherever China is taking the lead such as trade, manufacturing, supply chain, space, diplomacy, poverty reduction, currency exchange, etc. America and EU immediately attack and target and sanction China as national security threat. The sham and shame would even blush the devil with these falsely called Christian nations! With respect to COVID-19, China has aided many nations without strings attached while the U.S. could not even protect its own citizens that more than 50,000 deaths have occurred in early March and leading the world in both infections and deaths! As regards Nobel Peace Prize laureate, I had argued with Norway that they could not just pick a nobody but one who was a Chinese traitor to be awarded Nobel Peace Prize. The same Americans called those Hong Kong rioters and terrorists as freedom fighters, but those who protest against injustice at home are thugs, criminals and terrorists. Well, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Ask Americans whether they have been treated well and do they trust their government? I cannot understand why those nations and leaders could not see logs in their own eyes, but they want to take specks out of the eyes of other nations. As Jesus says, Mat 7:5, “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."  Historically, the United States of America has wronged China too many times since the Infamous Opium Wars led by the evil British Empire to force opium on the Chinese. At first, the West looked down at China because China was then weak and backward. Now, the United States, EU, NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, etc. are so afraid of the peaceful rise of China. They are so afraid of losing their world dictatorship and domination. My, if they don't like China so much, why don't they return the Chinese national treasures that they robbed and looted and stole since the Opium Wars to this day. China never did any wrong to America and Europe and Japan. The West, America and Europe, irrationally harbor so much malice, jealousy, envy, hatred, ill will, hostility, aggression, etc. toward China. Why do American war ships, aircraft carriers, war plans, spy planes, bombers, etc. continuously and constantly invading and encroaching China's territories in the South China, Sea, Yellow Sea, the East China Sea? China does not have one warplane or warship close to America or Europe. Trillion tons of Western propaganda of democracy, human rights, freedom, justice, etc. are useless and meaningless when their actions of aggression and sanction speak louder than their words.

China does not want to compete with America or any country. China is lawfully competing with itself in solving many national problems. In solving terrorism, China has succeeded in eliminating terrorism in Tibet and Xinjiang and Hong Kong. China achieves liberty and harmony in those areas with prosperity. AFTER more than 10 years, America is still failing to fight against terrorism abroad, and now facing internal terrorism at home. China has succeeded in lifting 770 million peasants from extreme poverty. Although China is still a poor nation, thank God not one Chinese is freezing or starving to death. It is vital for American leaders to look within. Are you not ashamed to see many homeless people living in tents on streets in Los Angeles? There is a new class of poverty in Texas when people are driving pretty cars to accept food charity. China is still backward, but there is not one day anywhere in China without running water and electricity. The homeless people of the world would be jealous to look at the new houses of the Chinese poor in countryside.

America is able to solve all its pressing problems simply by abandoning the empire, closing all foreign military bases and operations, withdrawing all overseas troops, and stop building weapons of mass destruction, war planes and warships, etc. Trillions and trillions of dollars that vanish in the black hole of so-called defense and national security could be used to rebuild America. You can be sure America is safe from China and Russia. For years America has wasted trillions and trillions of dollars in unnecessary and unjust wars, so-called defense and national security. The world is safe if there is no threat from America, EU, NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and Islamic terrorists. Most of the world still does not know that the China-India border conflict was created by the evil empire of Britain. Britain took large areas of Chinese territories to incorporate into its colony of Indian Map to make its colony look bigger. The leaders of UK do not have the moral character and courage to come out and explain the truth about the Indian Map and resolve the conflict once and for all. 

IX.  THE 18 VIRTUES

After much deliberation and research of the Holy Scriptures, I discover there are virtues or qualities that a human being must possess in order for learning and practicing HOW TO LIVE. Human wisdom is handicapped in discovering the truth. The Word of God reveals what virtues or qualities we need to live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present world. (Tit 2:12). If you live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present world, it means you know HOW TO LIVE.

To cope with life problems and the problems of the world, you need to know and learn HOW TO LIVE. The fact that the overwhelming majority of people do not know how to live speaks clearly and loudly the predicament of life. That drives people in different direction or pursuit. Some gullible people try drugs, alcohols, and promiscuous sex. Some go for so-called philosophy to find the meanings of life. Some spend their lives in amassing wealth and material things. Some pursue power. Others pursue fame.

No matter of your birth country, race, educational background, religion, employment, marital status, environment, etc. I believe you can learn HOW TO LIVE to be a decent human being. However, this article is written only and specifically to focus on how Christians can learn HOW TO LIVE. It is impossible to have those 18 virtues without first having the Christian experience of having a new life in Christ. ALTHOUGH the factors mentioned above greatly influence a person HOW TO LIVE, I want to make it clear for a Christian the grace of God can overcome those difficulties, and so a Christian is responsible for his/her conduct of life and HOW TO LIVE. 

For every CHRISTIAN who desires to live a meaningful life must learn HOW TO LIVE. A person who has learned how to live usually possesses the following  18 virtues or qualities of life. A person who does not have these virtues or qualities are blind and short-sighted. All those who seek the values of money, power, and sex are fools who do not know how to live.

1. Diligence

2. Faith

3. Virtue 

4. Knowledge

5. Self-control

6. Perseverance  

7. Godliness

8. Brotherly kindness  

9. Love

10. Joy

11. Peace 

12. Goodness

13. Faithfulness

14. Righteousness

15. Truth 

16. Honor

17. Honest and good heart

18. Excellence 

If you have the virtues or qualities listed above, it is impossible for you to fail, to live in vain.

Let us examine the 18 virtues or qualities one by one:

1.  Diligence.  

2Pe 1:5, "Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,"

Other words for diligence are industry or hard work. It is corresponding to the Protestant Ethic.  

Pro 4:23, "Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life."

Note: The most important of a man is his heart not his head, therefore one must watch over his heart with all diligence. For from the heart it flow the springs of life. An evil heart fails any man. An evil heart of unbelief will send you to Hell. 

Pro 12:27, "A lazy man does not roast his prey,
But the precious possession of a man is diligence."

Note: The precious possession of a man is not money, power, and sex; it is diligence. Everything a man does must show his diligence. Without diligence, no man can accomplish anything. Pro 15:19, "The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway." Confucius said, "The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."

2.  Faith

It is written, Mar 11:22, "And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God."

Note: The wisdom of the world says, "Have faith in yourself." A Christian not only has faith in God, he also has faith in Jesus Christ. The whole Christian experience is from faith to faith, by faith and through faith. Christians follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham. Unbelief makes a man weak, faith makes believers grow strong. Unbelief wavers, faith stands firm. 1Co 2:5, "so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." Faith on the power of God can remove mountains of problems. 

Gal 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

Note: This is the crux of HOW TO LIVE for all Christians. Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God. Many are confused and do not know the difference between faith and the faith. Faith is your belief in God, the Faith is the body of truth that all Christians of all generations believe in Christ Jesus.

3.  Virtue

2Pe 1:5, "Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply virtue, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,"

Note: Virtue in Greek is aretē which means moral excellence; moral goodness; a virtuous course of thought, feeling and action (Strong's Concordance); - which occurs 7 times in the New Testament. Based on

Phl 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." We can deduce that truthfulness, honor, rightness, purity, loveliness, praiseworthiness, good reputation are considered virtues. Dwell in Greek is logizomai which means to think; to count; to reckon; to reason; to take into account; to make an account of; to gather or infer; to weigh the reasons; to deliberate; to meditate on; to consider; to deem or judge; to determine or decide; - which occurs 44 times in the New Testament. We have to deliberate and meditate on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, whatever is excellent, and whatever is worthy of praise. Whatever includes everything and all things.

A man who has sex with many women and produce children they both cannot and do not want to be responsible is morally bankrupt. 

A morally bankrupt person cannot be a Christian, much less a preacher or a leader. Take the virtue of truthfulness. It is amazing and appalling that some people say that testing, wearing mask, isolation, lockdown do not save lives. This is the age of lie and distortion and disinformation, there is no truth in politicians, mainstream media, business and industry, etc. There are people who call the rioters and terrorists in Hong Kong as freedom fighters. There are those who call the rioters in the Capitol as freedom fighters. After examining the evidence of the Capitol riots, I agree with the FBI to call them domestic terrorism.

4.  Knowledge.  

Knowledge is divided into human and divine knowledge. Human knowledge is human knowledge whether it is a priori or a posteriori, explicit or tacit.  Even human knowledge is infinite while human life is short. There are many types of human knowledge which are not helpful or useful in learning HOW TO LIVE. Christians are more concerned not only in the knowledge of good and evil, but the true knowledge, the revealed knowledge of God and in real knowledge of truth, the knowledge of every good thing in Jesus Christ so that we can live worthy of the Gospel and doing the will of God from the heart. All scientific knowledge is tentative and progressive. They will pass away. There are people who are so proud because they know Wall Street economic and financial systems. In Heaven or Hell stocks and bonds would be good for nothing. For this reason, Christians seek spiritual wisdom and understanding. Col 1:9, "For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding," Earthly people boast to have worldly knowledge and understanding so much so they practice knowledge management, Christians want to be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

5.  Self-control 

1Co 7:5, "Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."

Note: Self-control is necessary in building a good character. If you lack of self-control, Satan will tempt you in many things and in many ways. Many become obese because they lack self-control in eating. Christians do not drink and drive and kill people. Some people especially women commit malicious gossips without self-control.

For a worldly man, self is the most important thing. He does everything for the sake of himself: self-love, self-image, self-esteem, self-advancement, self-service, self-glorification, self-promotion, self-respect, self-indulgence, self-gratification, self-obsession, etc. The Christian, on the contrary is to deny oneself and take up his cross, lay aside the old self, and put on the new self. 

Mat 16:24, "Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." Not only that, Mar 8:35, “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel's will save it." Christians have three enemies: Self, Satan, and the world. Self-control is a virtue has nothing to do with others. A worldly man is self-centered, a Christian is Christ-centered. Have you ever met a Western politician who is not self-centered?

6.  Perseverance  

Rom 5:3-4, "And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;"

Note: For this reason it is believed that it is good for the youth to suffer hardship and adversity. If you had to work your way through college independently in America when the minimum wage was $1.25, you would know what it means that tribulation brings about perseverance, and perseverance proven character. In Chinese language, the character 'patience' means a knife in the heart. Perseverance is an unwavering spirit. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody." I think Longfellow was influenced by the Words of Jesus, 

Mat 7:7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." I told my students the Words of Jesus are the secrets of success. You have to ask, seek, and knock.

Diligence + Perseverance = Success

7.  Godliness 

1Ti 4:7-8, "But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

Note: This is not sexist statement, it is true that worldly fables fit only for old women. Christians need to discipline oneself for the purpose of godliness. Do you know, godliness is profitable for all things; it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. There are many things which hold promise for only the present life, such as money, power, property, even knowledge. For example, medicine is useless for the life to come whether in Heaven or Hell. All Christian doctrines agree with sound words, and with conforming to godliness. I often wonder why in the world those men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth want to preach the gospel in order to get rich. One more reason to be in holy conduct and godliness is the fact the things of the world will soon be destroyed by fire. 2Pe 3:11, "Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,'" Godliness is unlike other human virtues, it is a godlike quality. Cleanliness maybe next to godliness. 

8.  Brotherly kindness  

Pro 19:22, "What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar."

Note: White and black supremacists think what are desirable in a man are their money and power and pleasure. God says, It is better to be a poor man than a liar. Western leaders lie, kill, and rob other nations. Brotherly kindness does not mean all men are brothers, there are children of the devil who are not brothers of the children of God. Brotherly kindness refers to show and do a kindness to a Christian brother and sister.  Gal 5:22, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness," It is not possible for a true believer who does not have the fruit of the Spirit. Col 3:12, "So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;" Kindness is the highest human virtue.

Aristotle defined kindness "helpfulness towards someone in need, not in return for anything, nor for the advantage of the helper himself, but for that of the person helped.” In other words, kindness is helping someone in need without strings attached.

9.  Love

The Christian virtue of love is described and defined in 1 Cor Chapter 13, and also commanded by Jesus Christ, Mat 5:44, “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,"

Note: The Bible teaches love for all people, love for the Household of God, and Jesus teaches the highest love, the love of your enemies. I often wonder why American and European (including UK, Canadian and Australian) leaders and politicians and journalists habitually tell lies about China and Russia and sanction them as enemies. Their hatred and malice are virulent and vicious without cause. In fact, Russia and China are no enemies of the West at all. How can those Western leaders and politicians call themselves Christians and do not do what Jesus Christ commands and says?

10.  Joy 

Luk 6:23, “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets."

Note: Even today in certain countries to be a Christian is to be beheaded! All those who live godly lives will be persecuted. Jhn 16:20, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy." Rom 14:17, "for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." Phl 1:25, "Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith," Be convinced, true Christians have progress and joy in the faith.

Jde 1:24, "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy," The day Jesus is coming again will be the Day of Great Joy.

11.  Peace 

Mar 9:50, “Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

Note: The devil started the first war in Heaven and lost. Christ wants us to be at peace with one another. White supremacists engaged in endless wars in the last 500 years to dictate and dominate the world, to make other nations colonies and their peoples slaves. Even today they do not know the way of peace. America, Europe (including UK, Canada, Australia, France, NATO, etc.) and Japan constantly prepare for war and conduct military exercises and operations to target Russia and China. The Western war planes, spy planes and war ships habitually violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and China. How can white and black warmongers claim to be Christians? There is no peace on earth because of American and European and Japanese imperialists, militarists, and Islamic terrorists want to dominate the world.

Jhn 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."

Rom 8:6, "For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,"

Note: The mind set of white and black supremacists is on the world domination, on war, on the flesh and death.

Christians cheer up and head up! Rom 16:20, "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you." God will soon crush Satan and Satan will be under the feet of Christians.

12.  Goodness
Gal 5:22, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,"

Note: The Word of God makes a distinction between kindness and goodness. What is kindness? Kindness in Greek is chrēstotēs which means gentleness, the state or quality of being kind; goodness; virtue; integrity; benignity; usefulness, charitableness; - which occurs 10 times in the New Testament. For example, David and Jonathan were unusual friends. After the deaths of Saul and Jonathan, King David asked, "Is there not yet anyone of the house of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?" Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who is crippled in both feet.” David said to Mephibosheth, “Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly.” It was most touching how David showed kindness to the son of Jonathan. (2 Samuel 9:1-13). 

Goodness in Greek is agathōsynē which means uprightness of heart and life; virtue; benevolence; beneficence; the quality or state of being good; morality; - which occurs 4 times in the New Testament.

Kindness may be human virtue as its best, giving help and showing mercy whenever is needed. Goodness is godly virtue, like the Good Samaritan, love your enemies and feel compassion.

13.  Faithfulness 

Our God is the God of faithfulness and without injustice. 

Gal 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

Note: The fruit of the Spirit includes faithfulness. Those who do not have the Holy Spirit in them cannot have the fruit of the Spirit.

Mat 23:23, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others."

Note: Jesus pronounces woe to scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites and points out the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. Woe also to the hypocrites of Western leaders and politicians who deliberately manufacture deadly lies about China's Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong and sanctions against Russia. The Western leaders and politicians do not care about justice and mercy and faithfulness which Jesus Christ upholds.

Rom 3:3, "What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?"

Note: Faithfulness in Greek is pistis which means faith; fidelity; assurance; "conviction of the truth of anything, belief; in the NT of a conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervor born of faith and joined with it" (Strong's Concordance); "belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence) whether in God or in Christ, springing from faith in the same" (Strong's Concordance); moral conviction of the Christian truth; the substance of Christian faith or what is believed by Christians; - which occurs 243 times in the New Testament. The unbelief of some scientists and philosophers does not nullify the faithfulness of God. Faithfulness is not about whether God can be trusted, faithfulness is a question whether you can be trusted. Christians can be trusted in time of crisis. 

14.  Righteousness 

Righteousness is the opposite of unrighteousness, lawlessness or wickedness. Righteousness is close to justice. If you are in righteousness, you are also in justice. 

Mat 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."

Note: Led by the West, now the whole world hungers and thirsts for money, power, and sex. Can you single out one nation which hungers and thirsts for righteousness? 

Mat 5:10, “Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."

Note: This is a serious matter. Christians shall be persecuted for the sake of righteousness. 

Eph 5:9, "(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),"

Note: True Christians have the fruit of the Light consisting in all goodness and righteousness and truth. Those who do not have goodness and righteousness and truth are children of darkness. God is Light, the image of God is goodness, righteousness, and truth.

2Pe 3:13, "But according to His promise we are looking for new Heavens and a new Earth, in which righteousness dwells."

Note: There is no righteousness in this world. Do you know righteousness dwells in any country? Not one that I know. Righteousness dwells in new Heaven and a new Earth, in the Kingdom of Heaven. Christians must be on the side of righteousness. It is most deplorable that those so-called Christian nations and leaders are on the side of unrighteousness and injustice. Those who are righteous must be instruments of righteousness and practice righteousness. He who practices righteousness is righteous. The Sun of Righteousness will rise to judge the unrighteous.

15.  Truth

The God of the Universe is the God of Truth. God is true, every man a liar. Truth is one of the few things which is eternal. The sum of the Word of God is truth.

There is no truth is this world:

Isa 59:14, "Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter." 

Lately you witness the leaders of the world who lie, lie, lie without shame; and the Western mainstream media lie, lie, and lie. They spew out lies, false information, disinformation, and misinformation.Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth. Lies and not truth prevail in America and the Western world, for they proceed from evil to evil. 

Jhn 1:17, "For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."

Note: Historically, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. This may be the manifesto of Jesus Christ, 

Jhn 14:6, "Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." The truth in Christ is the real truth. 

Jhn 8:32, "and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” 

Jhn 3:19-21, “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

Note: Jesus Christ is the Light of the world.

Jhn 4:24, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Note: Jesus Christ speaks the truth, why do you not believe Him? The truth of Christ is without hypocrisy. Truth is supreme, without truth everything falls apart. Even in this world, nothing works without truth. 

16.  Honor

Rom 2:7, "to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;"

Note: Christians by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor not in this world. Some church members are ambitious to have access to the White House and seek glory and honor in this world, and thus so-called Christian nationalism was born. Some American preachers consider it a great honor to be briefed by the White House. There is no immortality and eternal life in this world. The suffering saints when Christ returns to reign will share glory and honor and immortality and eternal life with Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven. While on earth, we honor the Son now.

Jhn 5:23, "so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him."

2Ti 2:21, "Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work."

Note: The honor Christians seek on earth is to be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work. Your life matters if you are a vessel for honor. In America people would honor the greatest crook because he has wealth and riches. A Christian does not need to be a hero, but he must have honor. A Christian who does not have honor cannot honor the Lord. Some white supremacists (high ranking leaders) who raped young girls without honor and try to use their positions and powers to discredit their accusers. Some silly girls committed suicide. Australian leaders (white supremacists) are without honor instead of correcting and compensating their past genocide of killing Australian aborigines, they attack and sanction China on account of fake news and disinformation and false information.

Those who use foul and vulgar (F) words have no honor. Hollywood is promoting vulgarity at full speed. When you hear a young girl uses vulgarity, you know how low a society has fallen.

Christians are also commanded to honor their father and mother. Eph 6:2, "HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise)," Many believers also do not know that offering to God is to honor the Lord. 

Pro 3:9, "Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first of all your produce;" 

17.  Honest and good heart

Luk 8:15, “But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the Word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance."

Note: The seed in the good soil are those who are the one who have heard the Word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance. True Christians have the Word of God in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance. An honest and good heart is more important the American presidency, more precious than Wall Street, and more glorious than the fame and glamour of Hollywood. An honest and good heart is more valuable than all the gold in Fort Knox. Honesty is not only the best policy, the first step toward humanity is having honesty. With an honest and good heart, you definitely will learn HOW TO LIVE, and how to do the will of God in your life.  

18.  Excellence 

Ruth was a woman of excellence which is very rare today. Christians do not seek mediocrity.

Phl 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."

Note: Excellence is not about productivity, popularity and property. Excellence is making the best of yourself. As Confucius said, “The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential, these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.” The Christian excellence is personal excellence. 

In addition to seek whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, Christians also seek excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Excellence in Greek is aretē which means virtue; any moral goodness; any particular moral excellence; an eminent endowment; - which occurs 7 times in the New Testament. Dwell in Greek is logizomai which means to think; to reckon, count, compute, calculate, count over; to to take into account, to make an account of; to deliberate; to weight or meditate on; to esteem; to deem or judge; to determine or decide; - which occurs 44 times in the New Testament. 

X.  THE 30 PRINCIPLES 

Of all the exemplary lives we could examine, I believe the Apostle Paul was the most qualified and suitable for us to imitate Christ because Paul was human like us. We can imitate Paul's faith and conduct in how he imitated Christ. CHRISTIANS can learn from Apostle Paul in imitating Christ. For no one has character and conduct more ideal of Christianity as did the Apostle Paul.

1Co 4:16, "Therefore I urge you, imitate me."

If I am not mistaken, Paul was the only Apostle who urged Christians to imitate him. Why? 

1Co 11:1, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." So it safe to imitate Paul just as he also imitated Christ. How to imitate Paul just as he also imitated Christ? 

The way how a person lives is not an act, is a habit, is a way of life. We imitate Paul to imitate Christ. There are following principles we must follow in order to learn HOW TO LIVE. If you live by the Scriptural principles described below as Paul lived, it will be well with you for now and eternity.

The following 30 principles are very important for Christians to learn HOW TO LIVE: 

1.  Paul counted all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Jesus Christ. 

Phl 3:8, "More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,"

Note: Paul counted the value of knowing Christ Jesus surpassing all things. Knowing Christ Jesus is the highest value, the surpassing value. Well, how can white and black supremacists claim to be Christians since they value money, power, and sex more than anything else. The world does not know that money, power, and sex are rubbish. The Christian values of faith, hope, and love are contrary to the worldly values of money, power, and sex. There is no one like the people of Washington who love power; they want to continue dictate and dominate the world. There is no one like the people of Wall Street who love money, they want to monopolize everything in this world. There is no one like the people of Hollywood who love sex, so they produce millions of movies driven by sex and violence. The evil of trinity, Washington-Wall Street-Hollywood love money, power, and sex because they love the world, they are sons of this world, the sons of disobedience, and sons of darkness. They are the agents of the ruler of this world. Paul counted all things (power, money, sex) as rubbish so that he may gain Christ.

2.  Paul was a chosen instrument of Christ. 

Act 9:15-16, "But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

Note: Along with Perter, John, and James, etc. Paul was a chosen instrument of Christ. I do not know any other person is a chosen instrument of Christ. If you are willing to suffer for Christ, as Paul imitated Christ, you can be an instrument for Christ. Every Christian can be an instrument for Christ, to suffer for Jesus' name sake. If we suffer with Christ, we will glorify with Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

To see how much Paul suffered for Christ, we may have a glimpse:  

2Co 11:23-33, "Are they servants of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death. Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern? If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me, and I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands." In comparison, there are quite few American preachers who live in million-dollar-mansions, drive and own Mecedes-Benz, fly private planes, and have large bank accounts. They never preach against the sins and crimes of American presidents and politicians, the evil of American empire, corrupt capitalism, unjust wars and aggression, world dictatorship and domination.

3.  Paul did not consider his life of any account as dear to himself.

Act 20:24, “But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the Gospel of the grace of God."

Note: What is dearest to your life shows who you are.

I could not forget years ago an American female preacher and her husband who had fallen from grace, she confessed on TV that she loved beautiful and expensive things; as if if you preach the Gospel you deserve to have luxuries and riches of the world!?

Act 20:33, “I have coveted no one's silver or gold or clothes."

Note: I believe a minister who wears a $5,000 suit, eats $1,000 dinner and his wife wears a $30,000 mink coat is unworthy to be called a servant of Christ. 

4.  Paul lived his life with a perfectly good conscience before God and before men.
Act 23:1, "Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, “Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day.”

Note: My father was a minister, and we have known preachers from all over the world. When I was a boy I thought every preacher must be a man of God. Later I realized not a few preachers who did not live his life with a perfectly good conscience before God. I knew a preacher who was the head of a mission who used offerings to mission like his own money. He used mission money to educate his children, but not a penny to the children of missionaries who worked with him.

Act 24:16, “In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men." A blameless conscience both before God and before men is better and higher than the Medal of Honor, Medal of Freedom, Nobel Prize. 

5.  Paul was not a wrongdoer and had committed nothing worthy of death. 

Act 25:11, “If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.”

Note: God instituted death penalty. Paul would not refuse capital punishment if he was a wrongdoer who had committed anything worthy of death. Death penalty is fit for any person who had committed anything worthy of death. Not a few so-called Christian nations have abolished capital punishment against God. To oppose death penalty is to oppose the law of God. To oppose the law of God is to oppose God.

6.  Paul did not prove disobedience to the Heavenly vision. 

Act 26:19, “So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the Heavenly vision,"

Note: The first sin of mankind against God was disobedience, not just eating the forbidden fruit. 

Eph 2:2, "in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience."

Note: The course of this world is disobedience to God. The evil spirit are working in the sons of disobedience, Western and Japanese leaders and politicians, and Islamic terrorists. For every Christian, two simple things are quite important, trust and obey God. History is full of examples of disobedience. 

7.  Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel. 

Rom 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."

Note: Paul did everything for the Gospel. 

Rom 15:18-19, "For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, in the power of miracles and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ."

Remember the Words of Jesus,  Mar 8:38, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” 

8.  Paul wanted all the churches of the Gentiles to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. 

Rom 16:19, "For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil."

Note: When a person is wise in what is evil and innocent in what is good, I call it negative intelligence. There are many people in this world who are wise in what is evil and innocent or stupid in what is good. Don't you think the wicked is wise and expert in what is evil? Let me tell you a life insurance policy can be so complicated that a law school student cannot understand it. This is what a classmate told me. Even if you are a Ph.D, you may not understand pages and pages and pages of fraudulent charges made by corrupt doctors and hospital owners with technical names. No matter what race you are, if you are wise in what is evil and ignorant in what is good, your lives do not matter. Don't you see white supremacists (of Europe and America, including UK, Canada, Australia, ) and Japan, are wise in what is evil and ignorant in what is good? Their iniquities intensify in these days.

9.  Paul determined that Gentile believers know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 

1Co 2:2, "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."

Note: The wicked are proud to know the economic, finance and political systems of the world with knowledge of global strategy to control the world. It is better you know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified and rose from the dead. Why Jesus Christ crucified is so important? The death of Christ occupies a place of highest importance and value in Christianity. Christ fulfilled all righteousness in obedience to the will of God to die for sinners on the cross. 

Rom 5:6-10, "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life." The death of Christ is necessary for the redemption of man. Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ are the two cardinal doctrines of Christianity.

10.  Paul wrote that believers not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler. 

1Co 5:11, "But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one."

Note: If you are an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler -- you cannot be a Christian. There is a racial group of people who cover up and glorify their immoral leaders and preachers. The Western nations cannot be called Christian because they have dictated and dominated the world in the last 500 years by wars and conquests. Western leaders and politicians are not Christians because they lie, kill, and rob many nations and peoples even to this day. If I shake hands with a warmonger and dines with such a corrupt leader, I would share his sins and evil deeds. 

11.  Paul did all things for the sake of the Gospel. 

1Co 9:23, "I do all things for the sake of the Gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it."

Note: White and black supremacists do all things for the sake of money, power, and sex. Some preachers become rich by preaching the gospel, so they are not fellow partakers of the Gospel. For Christians to do things for the sake of the Gospel is the same for the sake of Christ. Stephen for the sake of the Gospel became the first martyr and was stoned to death.

12.  Paul pleased all men in all things, not seeking his own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. 

1Co 10:33, "just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved."

Note: A capitalist seeks only his own profit. A supremacist seeks everything his own power, profit and interest. Paul pleased all men in all things so that they may be saved. In fact, Paul did all things for the sake of the Gospel. Selfishness is the rule of the world, self-denial is the Christian principle. What you do for tells what you really are. Greedy capitalist becomes a philanthropist just to compensate his greed and covetousness. The motive of Christians to preach the Gospel in the all parts of the world so that they may be saved. Saving souls are Paul's driving motive.

13.  Paul wanted you to understand that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the Head of Christ.

1Co 11:3, "But I want you to understand that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the Head of Christ."

Note: Christ is the Head of every Christian, and the man is the head of a woman. Christians do not pledge allegiance to anyone except Jesus Christ. The feminist movement is contrary to Christianity. Woman cannot be the head of a man. However, it is wrong for any religions to abuse and mistreat woman and girl. 

14.  Paul became a man, he did away with childish things. 

1Co 13:11, "When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things."

Note: All Christians must become a man, and do away with childish things. Childish things mean the things of the child. Childish things are many such as playing with cellphone, video games, temper tantrums, speaking in tongues, pride, oneupsmanship, climbing trees of self-promotion, watching cartoons instead of reading the Scriptures, playing with toys, crying in public, laughing loudly, screaming and yelling, envy and jealousy, partiality, favoritism, deeds of the flesh, inordinate communication, infantile behavior, infatuation, childish imaginations, childish reasoning, love of showoff, love of self, love of money, love of the place of honor, love of respectful greetings, love of bribery, love for boasting, love of pleasure, arrogance, ingratitude, disobedience, filthiness, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutality, treachery, recklessness, self-conceit, bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, malice, fightings, lust, make-belief, debauchery, indiscretion, insubordination, etc. I know this list of childish things may offend some people.

The proof of manhood is to do away with childish things. However, there are those who think to be rioter, lawless criminal and terrorist is to be a man and to become freedom fighter.

15.  Paul delivered to believers as of first importance. 

1Co 15:3, "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,"

Note: The first importance of the Gospel is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He rose from the dead the third day. This is Christianity in a capsule summary. To know what is important and what is not important is to know the meaning of priority. Jesus tells us to seek the first things first. The leaders of a nation is so wrong to put all money on war or so-called defense. Trillions and trillions of dollars are spent on preparation for wars, on development and deployment of deadly weapons, on diplomacy of sanctions, on hundreds of overseas military bases, on so-called national security and the nation suffers dilapidated infrastructure, polluted environment, high cost and fraudulent healthcare, poor transportation, ineffective educational system, high employment, increasing homelessness, prevalent injustice, ineffective government, and domestic terrorism. 

16.  Paul was what he was by the grace of God and he labored even more. 

1Co 15:10, "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me."

Note: Grace, the grace of God, is what made Paul what he was. No one can boast because of his own merit that he became somebody. He who receives the most grace labors even more.

17.  You ought to become sober-minded and stop sinning.
1Co 15:34, "Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame."

Note: Sober-minded in Greek is eknēphō which means to metaphorically to return to soberness of mind (Strong's Concordance), to rouse oneself out of stupor; to be free from drunkenness; to be characterized by seriousness and lack of excess; to be sensible and serious; - which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. 

You watch TV daily and see many drunk drivers who killed or caused accidents. The Bible says those who practice envying, drunkenness, carousing will not inherit the Kingdom of God. To live a Christian life is a sensible and serious matter. A believer who lives in sin has no knowledge of God. A believer who gets drunk, uses drugs, engages in sexual immorality, speaks filthy and vulgar language is not a normal Christians. Hollywood has produced countless movies that promote sex and violence, and using F word constantly. There is also a fashionable movement for women to dress in a way to expose their breasts. A Christian woman must not do the same. 

18.  He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 

2Co 9:6, "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."

Note: A Christian lives in a way to sow bountifully so that he will also reap bountifully. What do you invest in your life? This is the natural law: What you sow is what you reap. You sow a litter, you reap a little. You sow bountifully, you reap bountifully. 

19.  Paul would rather boast about his weakness so that the power of Christ may dwell in him.

2Co 12:9-10, "And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."

Note: If the greatest Apostle Paul had weakness, distresses, difficulties for Christ's sake, how much worse we are. So Christians need to seek more grace of Christ to be perfected in weakness.

20.  Paul was not seeking the favor of men or striving to please men.

Gal 1:10, "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ."

Note: No Christian can live godly and righteously if he is seeking the favor of men or striving to please men. You know democracy is intended to please men. Therefore to practice democracy may oppose the Kingdom of God. 

21.  Christ lived in Paul and the life which Paul lived by faith in Christ. 

Gal 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

Note: A believer who has been crucified with Christ no longer lives for himself. A Christian lives in Christ, for Christ, and by faith to live in the Son of God.

22.  Paul walked by the Spirit, and not carry out the desires of the flesh. 

Gal 5:16, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh."

Note: Christians walk by the Spirit; to walk by the Spirit is not to carry out the desire of the flesh. People who carry out the desires of the flesh do not walk by the Spirit. This is the secret of successful Christian life.

23.  Conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ. 

Phl 1:27, "Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel;"

Note: How do you know American and European leaders and politicians are not Christians? Simply they do not conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ.

If ordinary Christians must conduct their lives in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, how much is a preacher of the Gospel?

24.  Whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 

Phl 3:7, "But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ."

Note: The secret of a Christian life is "for the sake of Christ". Whatever is a big word, what are your "whatever things"? Money, power, sex?

Who counts money, power, and sex as loss for the sake of Christ?

25.  Paul pressed on. 

Phl 3:12, "Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus."

Note: A Christian cannot be satisfied that he has already become perfect, he must press on so that he may lay hold of that for which also he was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Life must be lived forward, not backward, so life must press on.

26.  Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. 

Phl 3:13, "Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,"

If there is a formula on HOW TO LIVE, it is forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. 

27.  Rejoice in the Lord always. 

Phl 4:4, "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!"

Note: This is the secret of a happy Christian life. Rejoice in the Lord always. There are many things that a Christian can rejoice in the Lord. Be thankful.

28.  I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 

Phl 4:11-13, "Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."

Note: These Scriptures provide the secret of success in a Christian life: Learn to be content in whatever circumstance you are. It may be easier to learn philosophy than to learn to be content in whatever circumstance you are.

29.  Paul had fought the good fight, had finished the course, had kept the faith. 

2Ti 4:7, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;"

Note: HOW TO LIVE involves fighting the good fight, finishing the course, and keeping the faith. There are three things that all Christians must do: Fight, Finish, and Keep. Fight the good fight, finish the course, and keep the faith.

30.  Behold, I have come to do Your will. 

Heb 10:9, "then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.'

Note: This is what Jesus Christ said. This is what Paul would imitate Jesus to say. What have you come to the world for? I have come to do the will of God. Blessed are those who have come to do the will of God. It may not be a blessing to become the president of the United States. It may not be a blessing to become the richest man on earth. It may not be a blessing to live in the most expensive mansion in this world. If you do not do the will of God, you are a failure, everything else you do does not matter. The summum bonum of a Christian life is to do the will of God. Blessed are those who find out and know what is the will of God for their lives, and do it. Your life begins only when you know what God wants you to do with your life. I hope you grasp this great truth for yourself, for it will set you on fire.

IN CONCLUSION 

If you possess the 18 virtues or qualities of life and have learned and practiced the 30 principles, you really know HOW TO LIVE. To know is one thing, to do is another thing.

Regarding Paul’s estimate of life, G. Campbell Morgan wrote:

"To me to live is Christ." What did the apostle mean? There are seven things which he might have meant. By these words he intended to say that:

1. Christ was the author of his life. It was as though he had written, "To me to live at all is Christ."

2. Christ was the sustainer of his life. "To me to continue to live is Christ."

3. Christ was the law of his life. "The conditions in which I live my life are summed up in Christ."

4. Christ was the product of his life. "To me to live is to reproduce Christ."

5. Christ was the aim and influence of his life. "To me to live is to lead men to Christ."

6. Christ was the impulse of his life. "To me to live is to be swept along under the compassion of the Christ."

7. Christ was the finisher, the crown of his life. "To me to live is at last to be what he is, and to find the crowning of all my manhood in him."

What is the highest point of a Christian life? This is it: 

Rom 8:38-39, "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." 

Nothing separates Christians who have learned HOW TO LIVE, how to do the will of God, from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Happiness is the assurance and feeling you are safe and secure in the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Those who are in the love of God have found the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

You also may receive the love of God by repentance and belief in Jesus Christian, the Lord and Savior. You can do it now.

They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish 

between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away.  To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.

It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.

There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:

1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.

2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.

3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.

4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.

5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.

6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.

7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.

World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.

Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!

If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.

What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies 

in the power of the evil one.”

Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples.  When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.

1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”

I agree with Arnold J. Toynbee who said, “ Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”

“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:

1.  America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.

2. America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military,  bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.

3.  America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.

4.  America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.

5.  America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.

6.  America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.

7.  America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.

8.  America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.

9.  America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.

10.  IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant. 

$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.

$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.

$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.

$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.

$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.

$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.

$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.

$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%. 

11. America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.

12. It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish land and relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.

If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour -- then China is free indeed -- no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!

“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:

1. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair.  China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization. The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to prevent flooding is to dredge all rivers, lakes, canals and waterways to absorb and accommodate flood waters to make rivers, lakes, canals and waterways deeper and clear all dictches from debris so that flood water may freely flow to rivers, lakes, canals and waterways.

2. China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:

3. China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.

4. China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.

5. China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news, counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.

6. China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.

7. Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.

8. China's troops should never be sent under UN's peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars --to die for nothing.

9. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.

10. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.

11. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
