------This article is written to let you know: the people without God is without hope in this world. Only the divine knowledge will lead to divine salvation.
1Co 15:34, “Sober up morally and stop sinning, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.”
Apostle Paul was talking about members of Corinthian church who got drunk, sinning that they have no knowledge of God, it was a shame.
Knowledge of God is brought about only through knowledge of the Word of God.
To be a useful and respectable human beings you need various kinds of knowledge. Let us start with the knowledge of language. Language is tool of communication, without the knowledge of language, no one can understand each other, like the Babel, people were confused.
1Co 14:10-11, “There are, perhaps, a great many
kinds of languages in the world, and none is incapable of meaning. So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible to me.”
2Pe 1:4, “Through these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world
on account of lust.”
Christians are partakers of the divine nature.
Jo 2:15-17, “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of
the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and
the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father,
but is from the world. The world is passing away
and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever.”
Christians do not love the world nor the things in the world. The things in the world include the lust of flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life. The lust of the flesh is sex, the lust of the eyes is money, and the boastful pride of life is power. The world has three values: sex, money and power.
1Ch 12:32, “From the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what
Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.”
Christians must understand the times and with knowledge of what they should do.
Years ago when I taught English in a seminar at a corporation. I told students the language tool is the most basic. I felt sorry for the Chinese in old times because not many recognized the Chinese words. The Chinese language is made of difficult Chinese words even to write much less to recognize. Language is elementary so that you know what is what, not mistaking the ball to be square. At higher level is analytical, you could compare what one sentence means with another sentence. You could compare different opinions and decide which is true. Although the people in the tropics never know snow, they should at least know that snow is white and cold. At the highest level is philosophical, dealing with things abstract, not concrete things you can identify. Science and philosophy enable you to know reality. The students were fascinated about my theory of knowledge, they wanted to buy the textbook which had not been published.
I recalled years ago I gave an Wechsler Adult Intelligence Test to a black client. One of the questions was what is the shape of a ball. She quickly ditched out the answer: square. That really shocked me because the word “round” is easier than “square” after all. Where did she get the idea of a square ball?
Knowledge of the world makes you an interesting person. A conversation with an uneducated person tells a lot about the person. Once a colleague who had a master’s degree from the same university but about different major. I was happy with my master’s degree because of my professor Dr. Harold Koontz and the things I had learned. She was not happy with her master’s program but once she asked me a very innocent question: Is the whole world like that? I answered I do not even know the whole America, how could I know the whole world? Then I realized to have experience in the world you must see and experience the world yourself. Although I spent quite a large sum of money for living and traveling in six most advanced nations in Europe, that was an investment in myself I never regretted. For example, if you want to know about China, you must come and see China for yourself. China is a big country. For example, I learn about Hangzhou I had stayed in Hangzhou for a whole winter vacation, and I have visited Hangzhou about 50 times covering all seasons. Besides my hometown Orange County, I can say Hangzhou is the city I like best in the world. To know a country or a city is like to eat a special dish. I especially ordered French snail in New Orleans, I can honestly say I don’t like snail. If you never had snail before, you cannot in a position to say you like it or not. Having spent 3 months in Europe, I can honestly say I do like Denmark, Sweden, and Norway; by the same token I do not like France, Germany and England. When I was on a business trip to audit a site of the division, the 16-year old daughter of the Controller told her father that she wanted to hear me 4 or 5 hours because I was telling my experience in Denmark. But now I think there is no hope for Scandinavia because their governments think to join NATO is an accession.
When I was at a missionary school, I discovered it is good to know medicine and music. Medicine gives you the knowledge to take care of yourself, and music makes your soul happy.
I. Deliver us from evil
Before man’s fall, in the Garden of Eden there was no evil. After man’s fall, sin brings evil, sorrow and death.
Mat 6:13, ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
Troubles and tragedies are the lives of all people. Even Christians who live on earth encounter evil.
Learn from Israel.
Gen 48:15-16, “And he blessed Joseph, and said,
“The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my Shepherd all my life to this day, the Angel who has redeemed me from all evil,
Bless the boys;
and may my name live on in them,
and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
Jacob who also called Israel said something that every Christian on earth must know. He acknowledged that the God who has been his Shepherd all his life and the Angel who has redeemed him from all evil. Even the patriarch Jacob had evil in his life. The important thing is to have God to be your Shepherd all your life and the Angel who has redeemed you from all evil.
I can say the same like Israel. God has been my Shepherd all my life in America and the Angel who has redeemed me from all evil.
Learn from Joseph.
Joseph was sold as a slave.
Gen 39:1-5, “Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there. And the LORD was with Joseph, so he became a successful
man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all that he did
prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and put him in charge of all that he owned. It came about that
from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s House on account of Joseph; so the LORD’S blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.”
Even in the lowliest condition in life as a slave, if God is with you, you can be a success. Learn from Joseph, from a slave to the prime minister of Egypt all because God was with him.
Gen 50:20, “As for you, you meant evil against me,
but God meant it for good in order to bring about
this present result, to keep many people alive.”
The brothers of Joseph meant evil against him but God meant it for good. This is a wonderful truth although people meant evil against you but God meant it for good. I can say the same that I met quite a few evil people in my life in America who meant evil against me, but God meant it for good. Our Heavenly Father is wonderful.
Rom 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things
to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
However smart and powerful a man may be, no one can cause a few things to work together because no one can control time and event.
There are many things you cannot control in life.
I just mention a few. For example, you do not control diseases. Why a beautiful woman suffers breast cancer? Some catastrophic diseases come to certain individuals no matter how much money and power you have, you have no control. For example, we know a famous and powerful man who had Alzheimer so bad that he even cannot recognize his wife.
You do not control accident. Once I had a colleague who was an arrogant atheist. One time he had an accident on freeway that his car was turned around facing the traffic. He was so terrified that he never said God does not exist anymore. Accident happens to anyone.
According to https://cn.bing.com/search?q=us+car+accident+statistics&qs=SC&pq=us+car+accidents
“Car accidents are a major cause of death and injury in the United States1234. In 2020, there were over 5 million police-reported car accidents,
resulting in 38,824 traffic-related deaths and 1,593,390 injuries23.
The number of accidents decreased by 22% between 2019 and 2020, but the number of fatal accidents per mile driven increased by 21% year
over year24. In 45%of fatal crashes, the drivers of passenger vehicles
were engaged in at least one of the following risky behaviors:
speeding, alcohol impairment,or not wearing a seat belt4. Over 90 peopledie in car accidents every day, and around 2 million drivers in
car accidents experience permanent injuries every year1.”
I especially have no respect for those who drink and drive and kill people. People who drink and drive is a deliberate act, it is no accident, therefore it is a murder.
You do not control natural disasters. You cannot command a tornado not to strike this town but to strike that town, not this place but that place. I notice an earthquake even frightened the rich and powerful.
No man can control time and event like the elderly can not control his urination.
No one controls luck. What is luck?
People do not know what luck is, to most people it is a force.
I agree with Napoleon Bonaparte who said, “All things proclaim the existence of God.”
I believe God can cause the events or circumstances that operate in favor or against any individual.
This truth is derived from the Scripture, Rom 8:28.
So it is wrong to look for luck, it is right to look to God who controls whatever comes to pass. It is interesting that the word “luck” does not exist in the Holy Bible. For God rules the universe.
No man controls the length of his/her life. The smartest scientist does not know when he/she is going to die. What is your life?
The greatest man-made evils are wars and guns. All the world knows about wars because most of the peoples in the world are victims of wars. Wars made by the West whether it was conquest or wars of aggression killed millions of innocent peoples around the world. The second evil is guns which are in particular of America, for all other nations control guns as unlawful.
For the world to have a New World Order, all nations must have a new Constitution. A new Constitution stipulate three main clauses:
(A). It stipulates that the Sovereignty of a nation lies in the hands of its citizens. Through National Referendum a majority of citizens (51%) can instantly remove any elected or appointed official, including the president or head of state without the useless impeachment process. Clinton has proved the futility of impeachment because his party will not vote for it. The two American parties do not serve the national interest, and therefore must be abolished too. Many nations wrongly believe if they have a general election, they practice democracy. Consequently, once a leader is elected he has license to do whatever he pleases, no one can remove him until the next election. Under the new Constitution, the majority of citizens can instantly remove any official without an impeachment. The people have no confidence in the leader is sufficient, the leader does not need to commit any crime. The majority of citizens have power to instantly remove any office, change government, change national policy, stop any war, determine how money is spent, and the direction of the nation, etc.
(B). All military coup d'état is illegal and unconstitutional, for that reason all participated generals shall be executed without appeal.
(C). All manufacture, sale, transportation, and ownership of guns or weapons of death is banned, and the National Riffle Association is banned for good from the land. Anyone who uses a gun to kill is automatically sentenced to death penalty without appeal. Terrorists and gangsters are public enemies, they may be shot at the scene without due process of the law.
American leaders and politicians are so smart to work for NRA which rules America for 150 years in order to preserve their position and power.
But thousands of innocent people will die unless the American culture be changed through the new Constitution.
To prevent future war I also propose that China and Russia make a formal alliance of peace.
1Ki 5:12, “So the LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he had promised. And Hiram and Solomon made a formal alliance of peace.”
Russia and China make a formal alliance of peace not for themselves, but for the world at large. Once China and Russia declare the formal alliance of peace, Asia, Africa, Latin America and Middle East will join. When the great majority of nations are for peace, it becomes a great force to embarrass and shame those few warmongering nations. Peace becomes the mandate of the whole world for building a better world, and war becomes apparent obsolete, destructive and unfashionable.
Evil is such a big topic; evil generation, evil deed, evil heart, evil spirit, evil dealing, evil way, evil scheme, evil people, evil person, evil practice, evil tongue, evil purpose, evil plans, evil sword, evil woman, evil devices, evil eyes, evil intent, evil activity, evil matter, evil time, evil insanity, evil days, evil advice, evil time, evil profit, evil thoughts, evil motives, and the evil one. No one is able to conceive every evil thing in the sight of God.
It is good and wise we pray daily to the Lord, “deliver us from evil.”
II. Fully Capable
2Ti 3:17, “so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.”
Knowledge makes you fully capable. To do any good work, you must be equipped.
A Christian is a man or woman of God. This is the Biblical definition superior to any man’s. It is the will of God that every Christian may be fully capable. Capable in Greek is artios which means fitted; having "special aptitude for given uses" (Strong’s Concordance); having attributes required for accomplishment: - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. Equipped in Greek is exartizō which means thoroughly furnished; made ready; - which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. For example, a soldier must be equipped with weapon to fight. Do not worry you do not have a position, the question is are you fully capable and equipped? It is easier just to be capable of a job, it is more complicated to be fully capable and equipped for every good work in life.
You must not do evil to ruin your life because of your ignorance or stupidity. You must realize a man can do so many stupid things almost an infinity to harm himself/herself. I do not intend to give you examples. That is why a person must get the best education he/she can get and at the same time ask God to give wisdom. I often think President Richard Nixon was a highly intelligent person, but he was ruined by a stupid and little Watergate. You may not realize the meanings of fully capable and equipped.
College education is necessary these days, high school education makes it difficult to land on a good job. At college, you need to write essays. Once an Indian student begged me to write an essay for his friend to save him from flunking out college for 5 dollars. By the hours required in writing an essay, 5 dollars are not enough. He said it was not the money, you have mercy to save him. So I did because of his earnestness. When working at several corporations, some Asian employees had problems with their banks and didn’t know how to write, so I dictated for them while eating at cafeteria for free. I think the ability to speak and write is so important that parents are guilty who failed to have their children properly educated. When I encountered black students riot at Los Angeles City College, I am sure it was my ability to write that moved President Richard Nixon to send two FBI agents to investigate and prevented the shutdown of the college, and so I could smoothly transfer to the university. I think my ability to write solved not a few problems I encountered in my life.
It is not easy to survive in this world. Knowledge of a language is basic tool of communication and it is necessary for you to function as a member of society. I always had pity of those older Chinese who were illiterate. I believe the Chinese ancient language of Confucious and Laotze contributed to many illiterate Chinese in the past. Even I could not completely understand the ancient Chinese classic. So we must give credit to Hu Shih and others who helped establish the vernacular or normal spoken form of Chinese as the official language. I hold that the written classical Chinese language was so difficult to understand and the Chinese writing itself is so challenging and demanding that it contributed to very widespread illiteracy in China. Because the Chinese language does not have Latin alphabet letters, it is wrong to compare Chinese with English or German. I would say Chinese is totally a different language, even different from Greek and Hebrew. However, the Chinese language produced the two great scholars and philosophers like Confucius and Laotze. I often wonder if Confucius and Laotze had access to the Hebrew Bible, what Chinese civilization would be.
In connection to my Bible and Biblical Theology study, I learn Hebrew and Greek words in order to understand the meaning of the original text. Of all the words of several languages I know, I say the Greek word for revelation, apokalypsis, is the most beautiful word in the world.
Attracted by Martin Luther and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, when I was young I almost decided to use my lifetime to master the German language. A note is necessary, Martin Luther made the modern German language because he singly translated the Holy Bible from Hebrew and Greek to the German language. Martin Luther modernized the German language. Now I am old, I never regretted my decision of giving up German. I can read the works of Martin Luther all in English. I also have expanded my life in the study of philosophy and theology. I want to say the English language is the most beautiful and powerful language in the world today. God had given me mighty useful ears. I used to be able to listen on telephone without knowing the person to determine it was a white, a black, an Asian, an Indian or Pakistani, a Japanese or Korean, Mexican or Latino, etc. My ears could differentiate the sound of different languages, although I did not know a word of that language. Once on a train to Copenhagen, I heard a mother and a daughter talking melodiously which I could not figure out the language. I asked the lady and learned she was the wife of the Spanish general consul in Copenhagen and they spoke Castilian Spanish which was very different from Mexican Spanish I used to hear in California. I did not know there is a language which sounds more beautiful than English. When I say English I mean American English. I do not like the accent of British English. There was a British nurse in the hospital I used to work, we often made fun of her by asking how come she talked as if something was in her mouth.
I love the English language, I am suitable for English, and English is suitable for me. I cannot talk about the garbage languages in the world, lest I offend many people. Therefore, I made the following statement:
"I am a Christian by grace, a Chinese by race, and an American by nationality. In Politics I am a Nixonian, in Management I am Koontian, in English I am a Ruskinian, in Philosophy I am Willie Wong Thought." In 1900 John Ruskin died before I was born. But I took John Ruskin to be my English teacher, I love his English prose. Who in the whole wide world and accross the long history of mankind can say something so beautiful and useful as John Ruskin?
"Man’s only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him; in reverence of something to be worshipped by him, and in love of something to be cherished by him, and cherished forever.”
I am grateful to God who so arranged that I studied the English language in my boyhood. After a lifelong study of the English language, I can honestly say the English language is the most beautiful and powerful language in the world. If you have mastered the English language, you do not need any other languages. Too bad the American leaders and politicians do not recognize and value the American English, although I have been advocated to make American English the official language of the United States of America. With English it is more than sufficient for me to study any field or branch of knowledge. Of course I also know the pitfall of the English language. The English language is the only one where the first person pronoun is capitalized - I.
It is not difficult to surmise English speaking people are more egotistical than any other races. However, the American English can be a lot different from the British English.
In addition to language knowledge, a person requires general knowledge (in math, science, and common sense). For example, if the rent is $2,500 a month, in your head you should count right away it is $30,000 a year, and you cannot afford it. You do not need a calculator. $2,000 x 12 = $24,000
$500 x 12 = $6,000 + 6,000
------------
$30,000
You could do it all in you head.
For self protection, some knowledge of medicine is necessary. A young woman suffers often lip sore. She does not know she lacks Vitamin B complex. A fat person certainly does not require to take Vitamin A. Once a brother of mine told me he took the vitamins of his wife. I told him that was a mistake: a woman because of menstruation needs more iron than men. A good Japanese woman used to have red eyes, I told her by covering her eyes with ice in a clean handkerchief will take the red away. I told my students by drinking water slowly, you can stop the hiccup. There are people who do not know if you are not sexually promiscuous AND do illicit intravenous drug use, you will never get AIDS. Once I had a young female colleague who told me she got exhausted after work. I said for her age she should not have that problem. I told her to take the B-Complex Vitamins I took, and she told me in a few weeks she no longer had the fatigue. A good Swedish old lady looked so feeble and I told her to take vitamins. She told me that her doctor said she did not need to take vitamins, but later she died of heart failure.
Knowledge of music contributes to your general health and good mood. It can make your soul happy and spirit calm.
1Sa 16:23, “So it came about whenever the evil
spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would feel relieved and become well, and the evil spirit
would leave him.” This is a problem Scripture for me. You usually know that the evil spirit from the Evil One. Here it says “the evil spirit from God.”
I believe to say “the evil spirit from God” is a textual aberration or adulteration. To mean the evil spirit by the permission of God came to Saul, that is the correct sense of the verse. Just as by permission of God, a tornado may destroy a certain town. By permission of God evil things may happen to people. We learn from the Book of Job, how God permitted Satan to attack Job. One thing is sure, good music can be beneficial and serviceable to the good temper of the mind. If you have the joy of listening to Handel’s Messiah a hundred times, I believe the majesty of the King of king and the Lord of lord will get into your soul and spirit so much so you would automatically exalt the Lord in your innermost being.
The Sound of Music, the Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, etc. are my kind of music. I abhor some ethnic music of the pong and the pong, which is most vulgar and disturbing. I dislike the rock n roll music which disturbs the mind.
An educated person not only possesses some knowledge and skills, he must also learn how to think. Philosophy helps your thinking ability.
Knowledge is important because it influences what a man or woman’s personality and his/her character.
According to https://disasterrally.com/dangers-of-nuclear-waste/#:~:text=The%207%20Dangers
“The 7 Dangers of Nuclear Waste: How Does It Affect Us?
Nuclear power, also referred to as radioactive power, provides various benefits. This includes powering the heat and electricity in our homes, and it does so with little to no greenhouse gas emissions. However, when nuclear power is mishandled, or if nuclear waste is stored improperly, it can become hazardous to living beings.
As a matter of fact, because the waste can remain active for millions of years, there are many dangers of nuclear waste, including the following seven hazards.
1. It Contaminates the Environment
If improperly sealed, nuclear pollution can easily spread over the area and into different ecosystems as well as the water, air, and ground, which can become contaminated and cause harm to all living organisms.
Radiation is threatening to living beings because it damages the body’s cells, which can ultimately cause cancer, cell death, and other irreversible destruction. In fact, biologists have found a correlation between the leakage of nuclear liquid into the ocean from the 2011 incident in Fukushima and an increase of skin ulcers in walruses and seals in Alaska, which demonstrates the global effect of radioactive contamination.
2. There Is No Guaranteed Safe or Long-Term Storage
It is common practice to store nuclear waste deep in the earth’s structure. There, it should be safeguarded for a long time. For example, our oceans and seas are commonly used as storage places for nuclear waste due to their large volume. They can dilute radiation and store numerous nuclear waste-filled containers.
However, one of the dangers of nuclear waste storage is that no one can guarantee the sustainability of these storage facilities. For instance, shifting tectonic plates or erosion can obstruct these deep storage repositories.
There is also no guarantee that these storages will remain untouched by future generations who may not fully understand their threat. It is also not known how or if it will impact the safety of nearby communities.
3. It Causes Long-Term Health Effects
It is a known fact that nuclear substances cause acute radiation symptoms, such as hair loss and seizures. We also know that these substances cause serious long-term health problems. However, it is extremely difficult to calculate the impact of radiation on the human body because of the underlying way it affects our body’s cells.
In fact, many problems are so unpronounced that doctors cannot determine if they were ultimately caused by radiation or other factors such as genetics or unhealthy living.
Some chronic health issues associated with radiation include cancers, gastrointestinal diseases, diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.
4. It’s Expensive and Hazardous to Cleanup
It is both costly and hazardous to clean up nuclear waste due to its dangerous nature. For instance, engineers have discovered that some containers located beneath the forest in Germany have shown serious signs of collapse, cracks, and leaking. This means the nuclear waste should be removed.
However, some experts believe that removing the waste can cause more harm than leaving it unmoved. Moreover, the security measures for the investigations alone are estimated at more than $150 million per year. This makes it a very expensive cleanup.
5. Nuclear Waste Processing Is Very Polluting
During nuclear waste processing, plutonium is divided from the used uranium fuel through various chemical reactions. The Plutonium is then used to construct nuclear weapons, or it is used as a new fuel. However, chemical processes used to break down used fuel rods produce even more waste. This presents more dangers of nuclear waste because it also needs to be stored away safely.
Nuclear waste is also an extremely messy process. For instance, studies show that La Hauge in France, one of the largest nuclear-reprocessing facilities in the world, has radioactive discharge similar to that of the Chernobyl incident.
Furthermore, plutonium is one of the most toxic substances ever known to mankind. And since it builds up in the liver and bones of individuals, it is hard to estimate its effects.
6. Plutonium Extraction Increases the Risk of Nuclear Production
Nuclear reprocessing brings with it various reasons to be concerned. For instance, it could be used to end lives. A good example of this is with World War II. It resulted in the death of over 200,000 people after the U.S. released nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Additionally, reprocessing used nuclear fuel rods to produce plutonium creates a favorable circumstance in which plutonium could be stolen and used to make nuclear bombs or weapons, such as by terrorists or territories looking to expand their nuclear weapon production.
7. The Release of Radioactivity into the Environment Can Go Unnoticed for Many Years
Politics vary from nation to nation. This means governments do not always share the same regards for environmental protection or safety for their citizens. Therefore, if radioactivity is released into the environment, it can take many years before it is noticed.
For instance, reports show that in 1986 when the Chernobyl reactor exploded, Soviet officials stayed quiet about the occurrence. They possibly exposed other regions to high levels of radiation. In fact, just a few days following the occurrence, the nuclear mass reached Sweden where radiation levels reached well over 30% above normal.”
According to https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-microplastics-and-why-are-they-bad.html
“Why Are Microplastics Dangerous?
Plastics are indigestible and non-biodegradable and once produced, one cannot get rid of them. The majority of the world’s plastics end up in the garbage, rivers, and eventually in lakes and oceans. Large plastics float across oceans and sometimes collect together to form garbage patches such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Microplastics, on the other hand, exist on beaches and deeper waters. Large plastics cause physical damage to marine animals and can result in death. However, the biggest problems are microplastic. They are mistaken for food by marine animals and ingested. They block the digestive system of animals and result in low levels of oxygen and consequently result in reduced energy levels. Some plastics are so tiny that they embed in the animal tissues. They are passed across the food chain, and some find their way to humans. Microplastics find their way to humans through ingestion or respiration. Today, the sources of microplastics are so essential to humans that we cannot live without them. The best alternative to controlling microplastic remains proper handling of plastic and thorough treatment of wastewater.”
According to https://www.sciencenews.org/article/microplastics-human-bodies-health-risks
In recent years, microplastics have been documented in all parts of the human lung, in maternal and fetal placental tissues, in human breast milk and in human blood. Microplastics scientist Heather Leslie, formerly of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and colleagues found microplastics in blood samples from 17 of 22 healthy adult volunteers in the Netherlands. The finding, published last year in Environment International, confirms what many scientists have long suspected: These tiny bits can get absorbed into the human bloodstream.
“We went from expecting plastic particles to be absorbable and present in the human bloodstream to knowing that they are,” Leslie says.
Microplastics in the blood
Microplastic particles were detected in blood samples from 17 of 22 healthy adult volunteers in the Netherlands. The types of polymer present varied across the group — as did the concentrations. Donors 11, 12 and 13 contributed two samples, both with microplastics. For many others (starred), one sample had microplastics and a second did not.

The findings aren’t entirely surprising; plastics are all around us. Durable, versatile and cheap to manufacture, they are in our clothes, cosmetics, electronics, tires, packaging and so many more items of daily use. And the types of plastic materials on the market continues to increase. “There were around 3,000 [plastic materials] when I started researching microplastics over a decade ago,” Leslie says. “Now there are over 9,600. That’s a huge number, each with its own chemical makeup and potential toxicity.”
Though durable, plastics do degrade, by weathering from water, wind, sunlight or heat — as in ocean environments or in landfills — or by friction, in the case of car tires, which releases plastic particles along roadways during motion and braking.
In addition to studying microplastic particles, researchers are also trying to get a handle on nanoplastics, particles which are less than 1 micrometer in length. “The large plastic objects in the environment will break down into micro- and nanoplastics, constantly raising particle numbers,” says toxicologist Dick Vethaak of the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, who collaborated with Leslie on the study finding microplastics in human blood.
Nearly two decades ago, marine biologists began drawing attention to the accumulation of microplastics in the ocean and their potential to interfere with organism and ecosystem health (SN: 2/20/16, p. 20). But only in recent years have scientists started focusing on microplastics in people’s food and drinking water — as well as in indoor air.
Plastic particles are also intentionally added to cosmetics like lipstick, lip gloss and eye makeup to improve their feel and finish, and to personal care products, such as face scrubs, toothpastes and shower gels, for the cleansing and exfoliating properties. When washed off, these microplastics enter the sewage system. They can end up in the sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants, which is used to fertilize agricultural lands, or even in treated water released into waterways.
What if any damage microplastics may do when they get into our bodies is not clear, but a growing community of researchers investigating these questions thinks there is reason for concern. Inhaled particles might irritate and damage the lungs, akin to the damage caused by other particulate matter. And although the composition of plastic particles varies, some contain chemicals that are known to interfere with the body’s hormones.
Currently there are huge knowledge gaps in our understanding of how these particles are processed by the human body.
How do microplastics get into our bodies?
Research points to two main entry routes into the human body: We swallow them and we breathe them in.
Evidence is growing that our food and water is contaminated with microplastics. A study in Italy, reported in 2020, found microplastics in everyday fruits and vegetables. Wheat and lettuce plants have been observed taking up microplastic particles in the lab; uptake from soil containing the particles is probably how they get into our produce in the first place.
Sewage sludge can contain microplastics not only from personal care products, but also from washing machines. One study looking at sludge from a wastewater treatment plant in southwest England found that if all the treated sludge produced there were used to fertilize soils, a volume of microplastic particles equivalent to what is found in more than 20,000 plastic credit cards could potentially be released into the environment each month.
On top of that, fertilizers are coated with plastic for controlled release, plastic mulch film is used as a protective layer for crops and water containing microplastics is used for irrigation, says Sophie Vonk, a researcher at the Plastic Soup Foundation.
“Agricultural fields in Europe and North America are estimated to receive far higher quantities of microplastics than global oceans,” Vonk says.
Microplastics in everyday produce
Fruits and vegetables purchased at local markets in Catania, Italy, showed wide variability in the numbers of microplastic particles present. The research highlights the need for more studies on the sources of microplastic exposure.

A recent pilot study commissioned by the Plastic Soup Foundation found microplastics in all blood samples collected from pigs and cows on Dutch farms, showing livestock are capable of absorbing some of the plastic particles from their feed, water or air. Of the beef and pork samples collected from farms and supermarkets as part of the same study, 75 percent showed the presence of microplastics. Multiple studies document that microplastic particles are also in fish muscle, not just the gut, and so are likely to be consumed when people eat seafood.
Microplastics are in our drinking water, whether it’s from the tap or bottled. The particles may enter the water at the source, during treatment and distribution, or, in the case of bottled water, from its packaging.
Results from studies attempting to quantify levels of human ingestion vary dramatically, but they suggest people might be consuming on the order of tens of thousands of microplastic particles per person per year. These estimates may change as more data come in, and they will likely vary depending on people’s diets and where they live. Plus, it is not yet clear how these particles are absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted by the human body, and if not excreted immediately, how long they might stick around.
Babies might face particularly high exposures. A small study of six infants and 10 adults found that the infants had more microplastic particles in their feces than the adults did. Research suggests microplastics can enter the fetus via the placenta, and babies could also ingest the particles via breast milk. The use of plastic feeding bottles and teething toys adds to children’s microplastics exposure.
Microplastic particles are also floating in the air. Research conducted in Paris to document microplastic levels in indoor air found concentrations ranging from three to 15 particles per cubic meter of air. Outdoor concentrations were much lower.
Airborne particles may turn out to be more of a concern than those in food. One study reported in 2018 compared the amount of microplastics present within mussels harvested off Scotland’s coasts with the amount of microplastics present in indoor air. Exposure to microplastic fibers from the air during the meal was far higher than the risk of ingesting microplastics from the mussels themselves.
Extrapolating from this research, immunologist Nienke Vrisekoop of the University Medical Center Utrecht says, “If I keep a piece of fish on the table for an hour, it has probably gathered more microplastics from the ambient air than it has from the ocean.”
Where in the air?
Concentrations of microplastics and nanoplastics in the air likely vary with location. Researchers are interested in studying various settings to better understand human exposure and risk including traffic lights, indoor sports stadiums, textile factories and living rooms.

What’s more, a study of human lung tissue reported last year offers solid evidence that we are breathing in plastic particles. Microplastics showed up in 11 of 13 samples, including those from the upper, middle and lower lobes, researchers in England reported.
Perhaps good news: Microplastics seem unable to penetrate the skin. “The epidermis holds off quite a lot of stuff from the outside world, including [nano]particles,” Leslie says. “Particles can go deep into your skin, but so far we haven’t observed them passing the barrier, unless the skin is damaged.”
What do we know about the potential health risks?
Studies in mice suggest microplastics are not benign. Research in these test animals shows that lab exposure to microplastics can disrupt the gut microbiome, lead to inflammation, lower sperm quality and testosterone levels, and negatively affect learning and memory.
But some of these studies used concentrations that may not be relevant to real-world scenarios. Studies on the health effects of exposure in humans are just getting under way, so it could be years before scientists understand the actual impact in people.
Immunologist Barbro Melgert of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has studied the effects of nylon microfibers on human tissue grown to resemble lungs. Exposure to nylon fibers reduced both the number and size of airways that formed in these tissues by 67 percent and 50 percent, respectively. “We found that the cause was not the microfibers themselves but rather the chemicals released from them,” Melgert says.
“Microplastics could be considered a form of air pollution,” she says. “We know air pollution particles tend to induce stress in our lungs, and it will probably be the same for microplastics.”
Vrisekoop is studying how the human immune system responds to microplastics. Her unpublished lab experiments suggest immune cells don’t recognize microplastic particles unless they have blood proteins, viruses, bacteria or other contaminants attached. But it is likely that such bits will attach to microplastic particles out in the environment and inside the body.
“If the microplastics are not clean … the immune cells [engulf] the particle and die faster because of it,” Vrisekoop says. “More immune cells then rush in.” This marks the start of an immune response to the particle, which could potentially trigger a strong inflammatory reaction or possibly aggravate existing inflammatory diseases of the lungs or gastrointestinal tract.”
“The damaged Fukushima plant will take at least decades to decommission. A swath of land around the plant remains uninhabitable, thousands of residents remain displaced, and the wastewater issue is another example of the 2011 disaster's complex, long-term effects.”
“Another problem, Fukakusa adds, is that "TEPCO and the government said the water just contains tritium, which cannot be separated from water. But it turned out that the water contains more radioactive materials. But they didn't disclose that information before."
‘But Friends of the Earth Japan says the water in the storage tanks contains unknown quantities of radioactive contaminants besides tritium. Local media report that in February, shipments of black rockfish were halted after one sample caught near Fukushima contained cesium far in excess of acceptable levels.”
According to https://deepoceanfacts.com/effects-of-nuclear-waste-on-the-ocean
“Both long-lived radioactive elements such as cesium-137 with a half-life of 30years and short-lived elements such as iodine-131 can be absorbed by phytoplankton, zooplankton, kelp and other marine life forms in the ocean. From these creatures, the radioactive then can be transmitted and contaminate the food chain to fish, marine mammals, and eventually, humanbeing.
A study of releases of nuclear material found that radioactive material does travel around the ocean through the ocean currents and can be deposited in marine sediment, then climb the marine food web, contaminating those who eat them. Radioactive caesium and plutonium can even be found now in seals and porpoises in the Irish Sea.”
While the outrageous and irresponsible deed of Japan does not incur condemnation by UN and reprisal by its neighboring countries? Because Japan is under American protection! Maybe it is high time that the world bans seafood from Japan. It does not seem safe to eat any seafood produced in the Pacific.
The most needed science today is the science that helps clean up the environment. There are so much pollutions in the world: pollutions of the air, land, and water. By water I mean ponds, lakes, rivers, seas and oceans. There is a need for UN to establish an International Cleanup Agency. There is a pollution tax for every member of UN, the higher a nation pollutes, the higher the pollution tax. ICA establishes a pollution index for each nation. The revenues generated through pollution tax is used entirely for clean up the environment.
Harm caused by plastics and micropastics.
According tohttps://cn.bing.com/search?q=Harms+of+plastics+and+microplastics&form=QBLHCN&sp
“Microplastics are problematic because they are persistent, ubiquitous, and harmful to the environment and health123. They can accumulate in the
oceans and be ingested by animals, causing reduced feeding, poisoning, and mortality124. They can also absorb and carry toxic chemicals that have been
linked to cancer, immune system, and reproductive issues35. Humans can be exposed to microplastics through consumption, inhalation, or skin contact, but the true health risks are poorly understood3.”
Harm of nuclear waste. Japanese government dumps nuclear waste water into the Pacific in spite of oppositions by its neighbors and by Japanese people. All neighbors of Japan including Pacific island nations have a right to sue Japan at ICC for damages.
Knowledge does not guarantee safety and success, but you cannot have success without knowledge. Knowledge can equip a person for success and a nation for development.
III. KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD
I spend money only to be and see the best places in the world. I do not want to spend money to be in mosquitoes infested countries, to see beggars die on the streets, to be in smog congested cities, to be in countries which have civil wars and unrest, to be in uncivilized places, to be in unsafe cities, to see trash and garbage everywhere, to step on man’s or dog’s feces, to see dilapidated infrastructure, to see shacks and slums, and to encounter uncivilized persons in words and deeds.
To travel is to invest in yourself. To invest in yourself is not like real estate investment. To invest in yourself is to enrich yourself in personal experiences. For example, my home town Orange County, California, where I consider the best place to live in the world in terms of good environment and weather. However, because I have been to many cities in the world. So I form my opinion based on fact with points of reference. Hong Kong and Shanghai are blessed with convenient subways. The elderly people are not good to live in Orange County because it requires driving. Therefore, I propose to Orange County government to do the following:
(1). Build a convenient subway system in Orange County so that people do not need to drive.
(2). Get rid of single women on welfare with many children and pets.
(3). Drive away violent and uncivilized peoples who are crooks and criminals and gangs.
When I first arrived at Washington, D.C. I felt I was in Africa, suffering a cultural shock. One thing lucky it was Richard Nixon who was the President. I wrote to the President that Washington, D.C. was a filthy city full of garbage and trash including the front of the White House. I was shocked to see a house all surrounded by garbage and trash. President Nixon responded by having a cleaning car doing duty at the front fence of the White House, and everywhere you see the sign “Keep America Beautiful”. Nixon was long gone.
My last time in Washington, D.C. I did not like the taxi and taxi drivers. There were only black taxi and black taxi drivers. Every airport in the world I chose and hired my taxi. In Washington, D.C. black taxi driver forced me to share the same taxi with other three passengers, in this way the black taxi driver MADE much more money in less time. You do not have a choice. Something is quite out of ordinary, American leaders and politicians charge China being a national security threat to America which is not in fact. Yet they seem not to know to be in Washington, D.C. is a great risk and unsafe trip. Washington, D.C. is not a nice place to visit because you may be mugged, robbed and even lose your life. I had white man who told me and showed me the scar how he was hit in the head from behind by blacks. I had black woman who told me standing at the outside of a subway station at night is not safe.
When I rented a room from the lady at Skodsborg, Denmark, we went to Sweden on a ferry with her grand children. I asked her 12-year old Danish grand daughter would she like to visit America. She gave me an emphatic no. I wondered and asked her why? She said strongly, “I do not want to be shot!” It dawned on me many Europeans would never visit America because of gun violence. Our leaders and politicians are so out of touch with the world, they do not know about the ugly and dangerous America!
In Scandinavia I saw boys and girls did hitchhiking all the time, it was completely safe. A poor Swedish girl did not know it was unsafe to hitchhike in California or in America. She hitchhiked from San Francisco down to Los Angeles. Sadly the report said her father came to take her body home. Years ago I had the idea of renting a Recreational Vehicle, traveling and seeing America by myself. Because of the safety issue, I abandoned the idea long ago.
To invest in yourself is not like to invest in real estate. To invest in yourself is to enrich your personal experiences. Although it took a great sum of money to be able to visit and study six most advanced civilizations in Europe for three months, I never regretted the money I spent in Europe and China.
It is good you learn about the general knowledge of the world below:
https://schoolandtravel.com/100-things-you-should-know-general-knowledge/
I strongly recommend the following site to everyone:
There is no country which deserves more of your visit, sightseeing, experiencing, and judging why the Chinese model is succeeding, winning and working. In spite of American opposition, oppression, coercion, suppression, obstruction, aggression and sanction; China has accomplished spectacular successes in all fields including becoming the number 2 economy in the world. If left alone, China will soon surpass and bypass America with no time. This is what American leaders and politicians are so afraid of.
I have a perspective of China from 1985 to the present. This gives you valuable information with authenticity and validity. I first went to China hired by the ministry of education as a professor, what I have witnessed the most unusual changes very few foreigners had experienced. I suggest you take at least one moth to learn and see China a big country, covering at least Beijing, Xian, Kanas, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. If you are in Shanghai, you must not miss taking one evening to stroll at the Pedestrian Street, Nanking Road -- the rest you can tell the story. When you first arrive in China, change American dollars into RMB at any Chinese bank with good rate. Do not be seduced by some blackmarketeering Chinese who offer you a greater rate, it is illegal. Give yourself a treat by staying at 5 or 4 stars hotels. A word must be said about food. Cantonese food is the number one in the world. Number 2 is French, but French restaurants practice an uncivilized custom. You do not voluntarily give tips, they forced you to pay, if my memory does not fail, 23% of so-called service charge. English food is not edible except fish and chip. Danish, Swedish and Norwegian food are no good, where instead I ate at Chinese restaurants there. German sausage is not bad, except the sauerkraut gave me a stomachache.
Before you visit China, get China map and facts.

Here are some of the best places I have ever been:
Having travelled to many beautiful cities and places in the world, let me tell you my favorite city is Hangzhou, China. You need to stay in Hangzhou at least one week or more to take in the beauty of all of it. You do not know what freedom is until you have experienced some. One Winter day in Hangzhou was snowing lightly, -- a feeling I never had in Southern California which never snows. I held an umbrella and strolling around the West Lake with my eyes on the beautiful scene and not worrying about being mugged or robbed like in America. There was absolutely free from fear. It was a luxury untouched by evil. I did stay in Hangzhou during one winter vacation, and I have been to Hangzhou in all seasons for maybe 50 times. I have lectured at Zhejiang University several times invited by the Ministry of Education. Yet I cannot say I know everything about Hangzhou. You do not need to know everything about Hangzhou, you need only to know the best of Hangzhou. In Hangzhou I had the most delicious cuisine, the first time I learned about and tasted beggar’s chicken which is fit for an emperor. I spent $250 in several days dining all Hangzhou famous dishes. There sitting leisurely under a big tree at West Lake I watched all kinds of people passing from all over the world. One unforgettable sight was a little Chinese girl aged 5 or 6 belonging to the genre of Shirley Temple. I noticed somehow the little girl was taking a beautiful princess walk by herself, she did not say a word but like a royal strolling along to inspect how her subjects were doing in her kingdom.
West Lake - Most Poetic Site in China
According to https://www.chinadiscovery.com/zhejiang/hangzhou/west-lake.html
“Why Visit West Lake
Listed as a World Heritage Site in 2011 by UNESCO (China's World Heritage Site Lists), West Lake is the only lake heritage site in China. UNESCO describes it as “has influenced garden design in the rest of China as well as Japan and Korea over the centuries” and “reflecting an idealized fusion between humans and nature”.
Located in the west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, covering an area of 6.39 s.q.km. with a perimeter of about 15 km, West Lake is divided into five parts by three causeways, and it comprises lots of pagodas, temples, pavilions, gardens, causeways, as well as artificial islands. The scenery of West Lake has always been praised by numerous Chinese poets and artists since ancient time for the perfection combination of stunning natural scenery and human culture.
https://www.chinahighlights.com/hangzhou/attraction/ten-scenes-of-west-lake.htm
“Three miniature stone pagodas in the lake itself are the centerpiece of the scene "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon". West of Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Island stand the rounded hollow stone pagodas, with five round holes like windows around the top and bottom levels. They were built over 800 years ago and are 2 meters (6½') in height.”
Kanas Lake & Xinjiang Kanas National Geopark - the Private Garden of God
The air there was fresher than I found in Norway and the weather was the most hospitable. I called Kanas River like the River of Life.
According to https://www.chinadiscovery.com/xinjiang/altay/kanas-lake.html
“What are the Charms of Kanas Lake and Xinjiang Kanas National Geopark?
● Amazing Heavenly Natural Scenery: With stunning natural beauty, Xinjiang Kanas has long been praised as “A Fairyland on the Earth” & “the Garden of the Gods”. It’s a big feast for eyes when sightseeing the pretty blue Kanas Lake water, endless lush forests, green & snowy mountains, vast grasslands, and a once-in-a-lifetime pastoral experience when breathing the fresh air and staying overnight in authentic Tuwa ancient villages. Different types of scenery set off each other brightly, and their colors and sights vary from season to season. Highlighting spots and scenes during the colorful autumn are the most appealing photography inspirations for both tourists at home and abroad.”

The Sognefjord area
”Geirangerfjord: World Heritage waterfalls
The 15-kilometre-long Geirangerfjord, also on the UNESCO World Heritage list, is often said to be the most dazzling of the fjords. Visitors experience jaw-dropping, almost vertical mountainsides with numerous waterfalls, topped by snow-capped mountain peaks that look like gigantic ice cream cones all year round. Three waterfalls are particularly well known: De syv søstrene (The Seven Sisters), Friaren (The Suitor) and Brudesløret (The Bridal Veil).”
You do not really know what a fjord is until you see it with your own eyes and experience it yourself.
It is important to have knowledge of the world, but it is expensive to have first hand knowledge of the world, by personal experience. This was how it happened. Once when I was young at an airport, I watched an old lady gasping for air slowly walking down and holding the rail to come down from an airplane. It dawned on me and struck deep in my mind the imperative to see the world when I was young. I also had a female young colleague of mine which we enjoyed talking about anything. She had a master’s degree from the same university although she was unhappy with her program, on the contrary I was very happy to have a world class professor like Dr. Harold Koontz who later became my good friend. I was telling her what I learned about American business. She had the most innocent question: Is the whole world like that? Of course I knew only a little about American corporations. I knew nothing about the world then.
Please read the article https://williewongthought.hpage.com/the-theory-of-good-society.html
So after obtaining my master’s degree, I worked hard and saved for a year. Then I embarked on a most daring journey to see the most advanced six European societies by myself, namely England, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. I decided to use Denmark to be the base of my operations. Through a Danish friend I rented a room at the suburb of Copenhagen called Skodsborg.
This is probably the most beautiful experience I have ever had in my life. I was staying in a suburb of Copenhagen called Skodsborg. One day I was on my way to the Skodsborg train station going to Copenhagen. When I was walking on the sidewalk between the bushes on right and left, it happened a group of Danish children between 6-8 years old were walking happily also coming home. They were jumping and walking hand in hand in a row facing me. Suddenly the cultured children realized they were blocking my way. Without saying a word or consultation, they suddenly changed their pattern of walking from row to column. They lined up in a column on my left. They made way bending their bodies and bowed with their left hands on their backs and stretching out their right hands in a ceremonial way to let me pass with their faces all looking joyfully and eagerly at me. They were brought up in such a cultured way that they instinctively knew what to do and behave properly. Oh, how beautiful and delightful it was! The Danish children taught me the true meaning of civility. I have never met children so lovely anywhere in the world!
Let me give you another example that defines civility. Once I saw a gray-haired old man squatted down on the floor of a Shanghai subway train to pick up trash that littered by uncivilized passengers and put in a plastic bag to take out when he exited the subway. The old man was not a subway worker or cleaner. His voluntary behavior shames all those who litter. A civilized person sometimes has to do something beyond and above his duty. I have traveled extensively and widely and met and observed millions of peoples around the world, but I have never met children more lovely and beautiful than those Danish children. Won’t it be wonderful if one of those children (who are adults now) would identify himself or herself and contact me through the E-mail? In addition I can honestly say: Norwegians are the most civilized people I have ever met in my life. Once I was looking for a street address in Oslo, I asked a young Norwegian man who happened to be there. He offered to walk with me to lead me there because he said I might get lost. The test of civility is not how you treat the people you know, but how you treat strangers, people who are not important to you personally. You cannot define the ugliness of uncivilized behavior (incivility) until you know the beauty of civility. Now I have given up Scandinavia. There is no hope for Scandinavia because the governments consider joining NATO as accession.
Please read the article https://williewongthought.hpage.com/the-theory-of-good-society.html
This article is written to show you how the Theory of Good Society came about when I first visited Scandinavia many years ago in looking for a better country and assessed the six most advanced societies in the world. A good society must consist of Five Imperatives, namely, Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Civility, and Security. Each Imperative is defined and composes of many variables. Value of each variable is assigned to each Imperative, the total values make up the score of that Imperative. The total values of the Five Imperatives make the final score of that society. The measurement is standardized and it can be verified. The total measurement or assessment of a society can signify whether that society is getting better or getting worse.
When I was a poor student working my way at a college in Los Angeles, I needed a cheap dentist. Through Yellow Pages and a phone call, I found a cheap dentist. I did not know the area or the neighborhood. I drove my old jalopy to the dental office, when I arrived and parked my car on the street, hundred pairs of black eyes focused on me. Suddenly I felt a sense of danger. I hurried to enter the dental office and saw the black dentist and all black patients and hurried to come out without doing any dental work. I hurried to drive my car away. As I left that neighborhood driving home, I felt a sense of relief. A black political preacher once said he did not feel safe to be around with black youth. As a contrast, in 1975 I conceived a theoretical framework on a good society when I visited Scandinavia the first time. In 1976 I was doing a follow-up project in Europe to assess the most advanced European societies (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany and England) where I completed the Theory of Good Society.
Shanghai not only is the largest city in China, it is the most unusual city in the world -- you will find Lujiazui Shanghai the most modern city in the world. Without any historical perspective, you wonder how China could achieve such modernization in such a short time.
According to https://www.expedia.com/Shanghai-Lujiazui.dx6130137
“Lujiazui is a developed zone on a peninsula of the Huangpu River in Shanghai. The many skyscrapers that adorn its skyline come in varied shapes and sizes, creating a futuristic setting. Visit the area at night to see the city come alive with dazzling lights.
Among the highlights is the Jin Mao Tower, which is 1,380 feet (420 meters) tall. Visit its shopping mall and consider staying at its Grand Hyatt Shanghai, one of the highest hotels in the world. Ascend to the Skywalk observation deck on the 88th floor for spectacular vistas of Shanghai and of the hotel lobby below your feet. Spot the iconic ball-like domes of the Oriental Pearl Tower, which has become a symbol of Shanghai.
In addition to skyscrapers, this district is known for scenic waterside trails. Follow the Riverside Promenade of paved sidewalks and monuments. Inspect the Shanghai People’s Heroes Monument in Huangpu Park. The structure pays tribute to revolutionary martyrs and artistically depicts three tall rifles.”
May I suggest that you spend time and get to know Beijing, Xian, Kanas, Shanghai and Hangzhou. The more you invest in yourself, the richer you become and never regret of the time and money you spend.
A knowledge of the world means your horizon is broadened, your experience is enriched, your judgment is sharpened, and helps you to understand the world and yourself better and more accurately. To know the world is not to love the world, but helps you with more determination to look above and seek the eternal home.
Mar 4:18-19, “And others are the ones sown with seed among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the Word, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other
things enter and choke the Word, and it becomes
unfruitful.”
No matter where you are, you have the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things. The world is not eternal home.
Jhn 3:19, “And this is the judgment, that the Light
has come into the world, and people loved the
darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil.”
The greatest defect of the world is the fact that people loved the darkness rather than the Light.
Jhn 18:37, “Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: to testify to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”
Knowledge of the world is not enough, you must know what time is now.
2Ti 3:1-5, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
We are now living in the last days. The last days are perilous or dangerous times. Among the wicked, most dangerous are lovers of themselves, lovers of money and lovers of pleasure.
Knowledge of the world must be distinguished from God-made world which is the physical world and man-made world. The physical world is good and beautiful except polluted and ruined by mankind. The man-made world is what the Bible says to Christians: “Do not love the world nor the things in the world.
This includes the kingdoms of the world and their glory; the anxiety of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth; the worries of the world, and
deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things;
the wisdom of the world; the spirit of the world;
the things of the world; the sorrow of the world;
the elementary principles of the world; the course of this world;
the world forces of this darkness; the uncertainty of riches; the very world
of unrighteousness; the corruption that is in the world on account of lust;
the world of the ungodly; all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life; and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
The Word of God is for the whole world, the truth of Christ is for everyone to know.
Perhaps you do not know that dark forces control Western media, and through Western media they control the world. So Western media controls what you should know and should not know:
“This content is not available in your area.”
Freedom of the press is as phony as Western democracy. Western media does not want you to know the truth.
Overpopulation, civil war and military coups d'etat in backward and poor nations have exacerbated and exasperated the world’s biggest problems of famine, drought, poverty, pollutions, pandemics, public health, congested transportation, and life misery index beyond measure. It is unconscionable and irresponsible for men and women who could not support themselves to produce children to live in abject poverty. The international community should not help them to perpetuate the problems. Let them live or die!
Although 82% of Americans know the nation is going the wrong direction, but nobody is doing anything about it. The irresponsible leaders and politicians keep raising the debt limit to waste taxpayers money, to enrich the military-industrial complex, to serve the one percent of population to rule over the 99%, and to promote wars in Ukraine and elsewhere. It is my candid opinion after a lifetime of study and watch America. America has reached the point of no return. No REFORM can save America. The leaders and politicians of the two American parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, do not serve the American interest and will never bring the necessary changes. They serve the NRA and could not stop gun violence. They could not promote peace and development in the world. They only will contribute to the demise and destruction of America. What America needs today is the REVOLUTION advocated by the founding fathers. America must rebuild on a New Foundation, a New Constitution. The saddest thing is the fact there is no right leader in the horizon…
IV. CITIZENS OF HEAVEN
Phl 1:27, “Above all, you must live as citizens of Heaven,
conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.”
To describe myself: I am a Christian by grace, a Chinese by race, an American by nationality; in politics I am a Nixonian, in management I am a Kootzian, in English I am a Ruskinian, in philosophy I am Willie Wong Thought.
As you know, my brothers and sisters in Christ, I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. There are so many impostors there who pretend to be preachers, pastors, evangelists, teachers, and claim to be Christian churches or organizations. They all ask for donations. There are false teachings fashionable in America: The Christian Nation and Christian Nationalism.
There are no Christian nations in the world. America is not a Christian nation, its leaders and politicians are not true Christians. European Whites have betrayed Christianity, in the last 500 years they have done much evil in the world under imperialism, colonialism, supremacism, and militarism. Since the end of WWII, America has killed millions of innocent peoples around the world under the pretext of democracy, freedom, human rights, and justice. God will settle account with America and Europe who falsely claim to be Christians.
There are demagogues, impostors, and deceivers in American politics who want to grab positions and powers and they advocate so-called Christian Nationalism. Both the two parties, the Democrat and the Republican do not represent Christianity. They have no truth in them.
According to Jesus Christ, there are two characteristics which identify the children of the devil.
Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”
The devil lies and kills, so do his children. If you meet persons who claim to be Christians, yet they lie and kill -- you know for sure they are children of the devil.
According to https://cn.bing.com/search?q=christian+nationalism+definition&qs
“Christian nationalism is a worldview or a political ideology that conflates Christianity and American identity and seeks to fuse them in the public sphere1234. It identifies the nation with God's will and action in the world and
gives moral cover for actions taken in pursuit of national or political goals25. It idealizes and advocates a privileged position for Christianity in American
“Christian nationalism is a cultural framework that identifies the nation
with God's will and action in the world, conflates national and Christian
identity, and advocates a fusion of Christianity with American civic life12.
Christian nationalists seek to preserve or restore the status of a Christian state,pass laws that reflect their view of Christianity, and serve the nation as service of God3”
The devil has his agents to deceive and confuse many.
Christian Nationalism is not Christian at all, but it is nationalism which pretends to be Christian.
Kingdom Now theology IS among all false theologies.
“Long seen as a fringe viewpoint, Christian nationalism now has a foothold in American politics, particularly in the Republican Party — according to a new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution.
Researchers found that more than half of Republicans believe the country should be a strictly Christian nation, either adhering to the ideals of Christian nationalism (21%) or sympathizing with those views (33%).
“Christian nationalism is a worldview that claims the U.S. is a Christian nation and that the country's laws should therefore be rooted in Christian values. This point of view has long been most prominent in white evangelical spaces but lately it's been getting lip service in Republican ones, too.”
I deliberately not to mention the leaders of so-called Christian Nationalism whether they claim to be evangelical, conservative, or fundamental, -- it is important for you to know that the so-called Christian Nationalism is not Christian at all, it is a political ideology, and it is not in accordance with the will of God, it is contrary to the Word of God. You should have no part or portion of it.
A disgraced political leader, a non-Christian, a demagogue, a liar and deceiver, and a false leader had been daubed “God’s chaos candidate.” This is a big lie. For God is not the author of chaos.
1Co 14:33, “For God is not the author of chaos but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.”
Jhn 18:36, “Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My
servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My Kingdom is not from here.”
God has not given any party, any group, any race a mandate to rule over the nation in America or the world. Jesus Christ did not tell His apostles and disciples to start a revolution by force to overthrow the Roman Empire. To those who espouse Christian Nationalism and who aspire to seize power through support of Christians, Jesus Christ has an answer,
“My Kingdom is not of this world. My Kingdom is not from here.” It is impossible to build the Kingdom of Christ on earth. Jesus Christ says clearly and plainly, My Kingdom is not from here.
America is not a Christian nation and can never be a Christian nation, for there is no Christian nation on earth. The Kingdom of Christ is not of this world, not from here. The Kingdom of Christ or the Kingdom of Heaven will appear when Jesus Christ comes again to be the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
What should Christian do on earth for the Kingdom of Christ?
(1). Go, make disciples of all the nations.
Mat 28:18-20, “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the world.”
(2). Preach the Gospel to all creation.
Mar 16:15, “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.”
(3). Preach Christ crucified.
1Co 1:23, “but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness.”
(4). Preach the Gospel even to the regions beyond.
2Co 10:16, “so as to preach the Gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the domain of another.”
(5). Preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ.
Eph 3:8, “To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ.”
(6). Preach the Word.
2Ti 4:2, “preach the Word; be ready in season and
out of season; correct, rebuke, and exhort, with
great patience and instruction.”
(7). Preach to those who live on the earth.
Rev 14:6, “And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven with an eternal Gospel to preach to those
who live on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.”
(8). Teach the Way of God in truth.
Mat 22:16, “And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the Way of God in truth, and do not care what anyone thinks; for You are not partial to anyone.”
(9). Teach the way of God on the basis of truth.
Luk 20:21, “And the spies questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach
correctly, and You are not partial to anyone, but You teach the way of God on the basis of truth.”
(10). Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth.
Mat 6:19, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where
thieves break in and steal.”
(11). Do not be afraid of those who kill the body.
Mat 10:28, “And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear
Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.”
(12). Do not work for the food that perishes.
Jhn 6:27, “Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”
(13). Do the things that are pleasing to Him.
Jhn 8:29, “And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are
pleasing to Him.”
(14). Do not love the world nor the things in the world.
1Jo 2:15, “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
(15). Do not be conformed to this world.
Rom 12:2, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
(16). Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders.
Col 4:5, “Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward
outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.”
(17). We live for the Lord.
Rom 14:8, “for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live
or die, we are the Lord's.”
(18). Live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner.
Tit 2:12, “instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age.”
(19). Conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth.
1Pe 1:17, “If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work,
conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth.”
(20). You will be a witness for Him.
Act 22:15, “For you will be a witness for Him to all people of what you have seen and heard.”
(21). Wait for His Son from Heaven.
1Th 1:10, “and to wait for His Son from Heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is, Jesus who rescues us from the wrath to come.”
Brothers and sisters, you will do well if you do the above cited 21 commandments of the Lord. The Lord never tells any disciple to do politics and run for office. It is not wrong if the Lord wants you to run for political office. There have been many men and women who declared that God wanted them to run for the presidency of America, but none of them was elected. It is impossible if God wants you to do something and fail. It is very clear what God wants His children to do while on earth.
Another version:
Phl 1:27, “Just one thing: As citizens of Heaven, live your life worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, in one accord, contending together for the faith of the Gospel.”
Phl 3:20, “But we are citizens of Heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for Him to return as our Savior.”
At the same time we are witnessing, working and waiting eagerly for Jesus Christ to return as our Savior. The wrath of God will be on the wicked and unrighteous, for Jesus Christ is also the Judge of the living and the dead.
V. KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
(1). GOD
Num 24:16, “The declaration of him who hears the Words of God,
and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision
of the Almighty, falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered:”
1Sa 2:3, “Do not go on boasting so very proudly,
do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
for the LORD is the God of knowledge,
and with Him actions are weighed.”
The God of the Bible is not only the God of knowledge, He weighs the action of men.
Rom 11:33, “Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable
are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!”
For this reason scientists cannot research on God. God is unsearchable and unfathomable.
2Co 10:5, “We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”
I am shocked by the amount of arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God in Western mass media. It is the Christian duty to destroy them. It is also our duty to take our every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Col 1:10, “so that you will walk in a manner worthy
of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing
fruit in every good work and increasing in the
knowledge of God.”
Christians can increase in the knowledge of God by walking in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work; in addition to the meditation of the Word of God.
The knowledge of God is unlimited and includes the following:
Luk 16:15, “And He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts; because that which is highly esteemed among people is detestable in the sight of God.”
Most people justify themselves in the sight of people.
In America what you have is more important than what you are. Americans value power politics. God knows our hearts. That which is highly esteemed among people is detestable in the sight of God. World leaders and politicians, the rich and powerful are detestable in the sight of God.
2Co 12:2, “I know a man in Christ, who fourteen
years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third Heaven.”
Even Apostle Paul who was caught up to the third Heaven did not know many things, but God knows.
Psa 44:21, “Would God not find this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.”
God knows the secret of the heart.
God knows the secrets of America, Gang-7, NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, EU, and all nations.
2Ti 2:19, “Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands,
having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His;”
and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to keep away from wickedness.”
What is the firm foundation of God?
Where is the firm foundation of God?
The Lord knows those who are His.
God knows who are His children.
In the last days there are many impostors who claim to be Christians, and good guys.
The Lord provides the light to shine in the darkness:
Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to keep away from wickedness.
Do you know any Western leader or politician who keeps away from wickedness?
1Jo 3:20, “that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things.”
No god knows everything. The God of Christianity is not only the God of knowledge, He knows all things.
1Jo 4:7, “Beloved, let's love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”
Leaders and politicians of nations who love wars in lying, killing, and robbing other nations and peoples do not have love and they do not know God and they are not from God.
You see how arrogant and absurd human beings have become by making empty boast, “The reality is we’re creating God.”
Mankind not only wants to create God in man’s image, they even claimed they are creating God. Those who say so do not know God IS…
Lord God Almighty
Rev 4:8 , “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within and they do not rest day and night, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”
JEHOVAH
Exd 6:3 , “And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.”
Note: JEHOVAH in Hebrew means “the Self-Existing One.” It is interesting in the Hebrew Old Testament, you can find several of God’s names with JEHOVAH as prefixes:
Jehovah Nissi (The Lord My Banner) - Exd 17:15 , “And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi.”
Jehovah-Raah (The Lord My Shepherd) - Psa 23:1 ,“The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”
Jehovah Rapha (The Lord Who Heals) - Exd 15:26 , “And He said: If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the Lord, am your Healer.”
Jehovah Shammah (The Lord Is There ) - Eze 48:35 , “The city shall be 18,000 cubits round about; and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.”
JehovahTsidkenu (The Lord Our Righteousness ) Jer 23:6 , “In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is His name by which He shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Jehovah Mekoddishkem (The Lord Who Sanctifies You) - Exd 31:13 , “But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying: You shall surely observe My Sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.”
Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Will Provide) - Gen 22:14 , “And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh; as it is said to this day: In the mount of the Lord it will be provided.”
Jehovah Shalom (The Lord Is Peace) - Jdg 6:24 , “Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord, and called it Jehovahshalom. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.”
Jehovah Sabaoth (The Lord of Hosts) - 1 Sa 1:3 , “This man went up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord there.”
The Lord God
Gen 2:4 , “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the Heavens.”
Note: The Lord God made the earth and the universe (Heavens).
The Lord God of host
1 Ki 19:10 , “And he said: I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life to take it away.”
The Lord God of Israel
Luk 1:68 , “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people.”
Note: When Jesus Christ came, the Lord God of Israel can also become the God of Gentiles (Non-Jews) by grace through faith in the Son of God. Beware those who want to take the land that God had given to Abraham and his descendants, the Lord God of Israel will fight for Zion.
The Lord God Omnipotent
Rev 19: 6 , “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying: Alleluia, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigns.”
Note: Omnipotent in Greek is pantokratō which means Amighty; the All-Ruling; the Ruler of all; He who holds sway over all things; having unlimited authority and power; - which occurs 10 times in the New Testament. There is nothing is impossible with the Almighty God.
The Lord God of the holy prophets
Rev 22:6 , “And he said to me: These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must soon take place.”
The Lord of Heaven
Dan 5:23 , “But you have exalted yourself against the Lord of Heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and your ways, you have not glorified.”
Note: Our life-breath and our existence are in the hand of God.
The Lord of Sabaoth
Rom 9:29 , “And just as Isaiah foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left to us a posterity, we would have become like Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah.”
Note: The Lord of Sabaoth means the Lord of the armies of Israel. Let the enemies of Israel who want to take Jerusalem beware, the Lord of Sabaoth will fight for the capital of the great King. Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas do not belong to the Holy Land.
The Lord Strong and Mighty
Psa 24:8 , “Who is this King of glory? The Lord Strong and Mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Mat 11:25 , “At that time Jesus answered and said: I
praise You, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, because You have hidden these things from the educated and learned, and have revealed them to the untaught.”
Note: Heaven and Earth means the universe. God is Lord of the universe.
Lord Holy and True
Rev 6:10 , “And they cried out with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord, Holy and True, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
No other god is holy and true.
The Living Father
Jhn 6:57, “As the Living Father has sent Me, and I
(Christ) live by the Father; so he who eats Me will also live by Me.”
Note: He who eats Me means he who accepts Jesus Christ who sacrificed His body on the cross for him will have eternal life. God is the Living Father in comparison to human fathers who are mortal.
Holy Father
Jhn 17:11 , “And now I am no more in the world, but
these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your own name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one, as We are.”
Note: The Catholic Church has blasphemed God by calling pope Holy Father.
Heavenly Father
Mat 6:14 , “For if you forgive men their misdeeds, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you."
Note: Our earthly father is nothing in comparison to our Heavenly Father. If we have to respect our earthly father as we should, how much we have to fear our Heavenly Father.
Righteous Father
Jhn 17:25 , “O righteous Father, the world has not known You; but I have known You, and these have known that You have sent Me.”
Note: Liars and killers are unrighteous, Jesus Christ defines them as children of the devil. Children of righteous Father cannot lie and kill.
Abba, Father
Rom 8:15 , “For you have not received the spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry out, Abba! Father!”
Note: Abba is abba in Aramaic which means father; customary title of God used in prayer; a most sacred proper name of God; - which occurs 3 times in the New Testament. Let feminists beware; God is presented as Father, never as mother.
The Father of Glory
Eph 1:17, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.”No human father, be it king or president, has glory comparable to the Father of Glory.
The Father of Spirits
Hbr 12:9, “Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh to discipline us, and we gave them respect; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of Spirits, and live?”
The Father of Lights
Jam 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
The Almighty God
Gen 17:1, “When Abram was ninety-nine years old; the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”
Note: No matter who you are, be it king or president, dictator or tycoon, scientist or scholar -- no one is mighty.
Merciful God
Deu 4:31, “For the Lord your God is a Merciful God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.”
Note: Because God is merciful, He is not willing any should perish; so He sent His Only Son Jesus Christ to the world to save sinners.
The Faithful God
Deu 7:9, “Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the Faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.”
Note: When everything fails, remember God is faithful and true.
The Righteous God
Psa 7:9, “O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; for the Righteous God tries the hearts and minds.”
Note: The hearts and minds of the wicked are wickedness. It is the nature of the wicked to do evil. No man can by his own good deeds to earn the righteousness of God. Jesus Christ is the Righteousness of God, and He makes its possible to justify sinners before God.
The Living God
Psa 84:2, “My soul longs and even yearns for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the Living God.”
Note: Primitive people worship idols and all all idols are dead gods who are not God.
The Mighty God
Isa 10:21, “A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God.”
Note: The Mighty God is the Almighty God. There is nothing impossible with the Almighty God.
The Everlasting God
Isa 40:28, “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not faint or become weary. His understanding is inscrutable.
Rom 16:26, “But now is made manifest, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the Everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith.”
Note: The word “everlasting” is interchangeable with “eternal.” God by nature is eternal. God is Self-Existent, from eternity to eternity, without time and without end.
The Most High God
Dan 5:21, “He (Nebuchadnezzar) was also driven away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the wild asses. He was given grass to eat like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind, and that He appoints over it whomever He wishes.”
Note: Let white supremacists beware, they cannot conquer the world. For God rules over the kingdoms of mankind. All evil empires have vanished. The evil American empire and the evil Japanese empire will soon vanish from the face of the earth. Let warmongers and dictators and oppressors know this: The Most High God is the Ruler over the realm of mankind.
The Only True God
Jhn 17:3, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the Only True God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
Note: All other gods are false gods. The only true God cannot tolerate other gods or idols. The most miserable are the Japanese leaders and people who worship their convicted and executed war criminals as true gods. There is no other god, Jesus Christ is our God and Savior.
The Immortal God
Rom 1:23, “And exchanged the glory of the Immortal
God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed beasts and crawling creatures.”
Note: The Scripture declares the folly of idolatry. The Immortal God is eternal.
The Invisible God
Col 1:15 , “He (Christ) is the image of the Invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”
Note: God is invisible because He is the Spirit. Spirit does not have flesh and bone.
The Living and True God
1 Th 1:9, “For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the Living and True God.”
The Blessed God
1 Ti 1:11, “According to the glorious Gospel of the
Blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”
Note: The Blessed God deserves all our praises and
thankfulness.
The Only Wise God
1 Ti 1:17, “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the Only Wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Let the evil trinity of Washington, Wall Street and
Hollywood beware. They think, speak and act as arrogant rulers of the world. They do not realize they are foolish like worms and will die suddenly. Let arrogant scientists and scholars be warned, what are you so proud about, you don't even know when you are going to die? Watch out the Western media which publish many articles they deem wise and they are contrary to the Word of God.
The Great God
Tts 2:13, “Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of the Great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.”
Note: The Jewish nation is surrounded by enemies. Oh, children of Abraham, do not fear. Accept Jesus Christ as your Messiah. The God of Abraham is the Great God, more powerful than the sole superpower, more mighty than all the nuclear weapons of the world.
The Only Lord God
Jud 1:4 , “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the Only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Note: God has many other names. Please read my article:
https://williewongthought.hpage.com/the-names-of-god.html
The movement which vainly called God Mother is damned and cursed. The Lord Jesus wants His disciples to address God as our Heavenly Father: Mat 5:48: “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect.”
(2). THE SON
Jhn 14:1, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.”
Monotheistic religions believe in God. Not all monotheistic religions know the true God.
Jesus says, “Believe in God, believe also in Me.”
This is not a small claim. No religious leader would dare to make such a statement.
Rom 10:9, “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
To be saved you need to do two things:
(1). Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord.
(2). Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead.
Jhn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
All those who have monotheistic faith but do not know Jesus Christ worship God in vain. Because no one can come to God except through Jesus Christ.
Mar 9:7, “Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud: “This is My beloved Son; listen to Him!”
The testimony of the Father for the Son, “This is My beloved Son; listen to Him.”
Listen to Jesus Christ is to listen to God.
Jhn 1:29, “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away
the sin of the world!”
It is not God who takes away the sin of the world, it is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Tit 2:13-14, “looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, eager for good deeds.”
Jesus Christ is our great God and Savior, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed. Soon the Lord is coming again to judge the world.
Eph 4:13-16, “until we all attain to the unity of the Faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by
waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful
scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ, from whom the whole Body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the Body for the building up of itself in love.”
The knowledge of the Son of God makes mature Christians to attain the unity of the Faith, which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a mature man we are no longer children, we grow up and not to be carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of unbelievers, or by craftiness in deceitful scheming. Christians not only speak the truth but speak the truth in love. Christians grow up in all aspects into Christ who is the Head of the whole Body, the proper working of each individual leading to the obedience of faith which causes the growth of the Body for the building up of itself in love.
Mat 8:20, “And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have
holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the
Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
In America false preachers live in mansions and have hundred millions in their bank accounts.
Mat 9:6, “But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your stretcher and go home.”
Only God can forgive sins, Jesus is God who has authority to forgive sins.
Mat 11:27, “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son determines to reveal Him.”
The authority and power of Jesus Christ is the highest and unlimited.
Mat 12:8, “For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
The Jews must keep the Sabbath. Of the Ten Commandments, Christians are not told to observe the Sabbath.
Mat 13:41, “The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness.”
On the Day of Judgment, those who do wicked and commit lawlessness cannot escape. Bad as it is, Western leaders and politicians do not realize they are the stumbling blocks to be removed by angeles.
Mat 16:16, “Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
All Christians confess the divinity of Christ.
Mat 16:27, “For the Son of Man is going to come
in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.”
The payday is coming, that is the Day of Judgment.
Mat 19:28, “And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His
glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Here the word “regeneration” means restoration. Jesus Christ will restore and renew Heavens and Earth.
Mat 20:28, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
The death of the Son of God is the ransom for all believers.
Mat 24:37, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.”
The flood came when the people were not expected. The Lord will return when the world unexpected.
Mat 27:54, “Now as for the centurion and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the other things that were
happening, they became extremely frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
Mat 28:19, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
The mission of the Church is to make disciples of all the nations, to evangelize the world, not to change or save the world, not to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Mar 3:11, “And whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God!”
The evil spirits recognize the Son of God, poor scientists and scholars do not.
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.”
The world is bad because this generation is adulterous and sinful.
Mar 9:31, “For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.”
Resurrection follows Crucifixion. By the power of God Jesus Christ was raised from the dead to save all who believe in Him now and forever.
Luk 1:32, “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.”
Jesus Christ is the coming King of kings and Lord of lords, far above all in Heaven or on earth.
Luk 1:35, “The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the holy Child will be called the Son of God.”
Mary was the mother of Jesus who conceived the Son of God by the Holy Spirit. It was not the immaculate Mary, it was Jesus without sin.
Jhn 11:27, “She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have come to believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, and He who comes into the world.”
IN the face of evidence, we come to believe.
Jhn 20:31, “but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life in His name.”
The Gospel of John has been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life in His name.
For this reason, I believe the Gospel of John is the most important book of the New Testament. I was advised by a professor to study it one hundred times. I had the joy to write NOTES ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN.
Rom 1:4, “who was declared the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
According to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord was declared the Son of God with power. No one by himself ever rose from the dead.
Eph 4:13, “until we all attain to the unity of the Faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.”
The knowledge of the Son of God enables Christians to attain to the unity of the Faith.

Heb 4:14, “Therefore, since we have the great high
Priest who has passed through the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let's hold firmly to our confession.”
Our confession is firm because we have the great High Priest Jesus the Son of God who has passed through the highest Heavens.
Heb 10:29, “How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled
underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?”
Do you know anyone who has trampled underfoot the Son of God has insulted the Spirit of grace? They deserve more severe punishment. Do you know Western leaders and politicians trample underfoot the Son of God by claiming to be Christians and at the same time lying, killing, and robbing? Do you know anyone who denies the divinity of Christ tramples the Son of God underfoot? Do you know anyone who insults the Son of God has insulted the Spirit of grace?
1Jo 3:8, “the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.”
This is the truth: the one who practices sin is of the devil. Western leaders and politicians practice sin, they are of the devil even though they claim to be Christians. The first advent of Jesus was for the purpose to destroy the works of the devil. The wicked are doing the works of the devil. The works of the devil are lying, killing and robbing.
1Jo 4:15, “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.”
Christians confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in them, and they in God.
For that reason, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Leo Tolstoy were pitiable because they did not confess that Jesus is the Son of God -- they were not Christians. You know in the West there are not a few people who mistake themselves for being Christians because they are white and born in America.
1Jo 5:5, “Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”
The one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world, because Jesus overcomes the world and the ruler of the world.
1Jo 5:10, “The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.”
The one who believes in the Son of God has believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. A Christian is the one who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
1Jo 5:12, “The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.”
There are people who believe in God but they do not believe in the Son of God, and they do not have life.
1Jo 5:13, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name
of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
The central message of the Holy Bible is Jesus Christ the Son of God, in believing you have eternal life.
1Jo 5:20, “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”
To know Jesus Christ is the Son of God is to know the true God and has eternal life. There is no other name under Heaven we may be saved. Christians believe, serve and worship the true God and they have eternal life.
(C) THE WORD OF GOD
1Th 2:13, “For this reason we also constantly
thank God that when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of mere men, but as what it really is, the Word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.”
All false religions accept the words of men as the Word of God. Christianity is sure the Holy Bible is the Word of God. Some fake religions copy and imitate the Word of God.
Mar 7:13, “thereby invalidating the Word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
The Jews in the days of the Lord on earth invalidated the Word of God by their tradition. Tradition has been used by many to invalidate the Word of God. The Word of God is eternally valid, the tradition of men is not. Many religions have many bad traditions. You can find many traditions in Western media are contrary to the Word of God.
Luk 8:21, “But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the Word of God and do it.”
Jesus Christ honors those who hear the Word of God and do it as His mother and His brothers. Western leaders and politicians claim to be Christians but they do not do the Word of God.
Luk 11:28, “But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and follow it.”
In these days you can see articles and statements in Western media which are invalidating and insulting the Word of God. Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and follow it. We must not follow men or ideology. Follow in Greek is phylassō which means to keep; observe; guard; obey; act in accordance with; carry out; - which occurs 30 times in the New Testament. Christians not only hear but follow the Word of God.
Jhn 10:35, “If he called them gods, to whom the Word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be nullified).”
The Word of God is the Scripture. Everything about Christianity is written in the Scripture, the Scripture cannot be nullified, because the Word of God will never pass away.
Act 4:31, “And when they had prayed, the place
where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the Word of God with boldness.”
When believers are filled with the Holy Spirit, they speak the Word of God with power. Our Pentecostal brothers and sisters are wrong, Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit not to speak in tongues, but to speak the Word of God with boldness and power.
Act 6:2, “So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect the Word of God in order to serve tables.”
The twelve Apostles put the Word of God at the highest order. The church cannot neglect the Gospel by doing charity or other social work. I recall one Chinese minister was so proud to announce that he had been to Denmark learning social work. The mission of Christian church is not doing social work. The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel to everyone.
Act 6:7, “The Word of God kept spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatlyin Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.”
The mission of the Church is to keep spreading the Word of God and increase the number of disciples. I know there are pastors who make people their own disciples and I am also aware some denominations compete for their own interest. True believers are disciples of Jesus Christ and Christians must become obedient to the Faith. Please my article on
https://williewongthought.hpage.com/faith-and-the-faith.html
Act 11:1, “Now the apostles and the brothers and sisters who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the Word of God.”
All believers, Jewish or Gentiles, must receive the Word of God; not the teachings and doctrines of theologians and philosophers whom I do not want to mention their names; just like I do not mention the names of false religions or false gods.
2Co 2:17, “For we are not like the many, peddling the Word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.”
I am aware of the many who peddle or merchandise the Gospel. I do not want to mention the names of such preachers, such churches, such missions, such denominations, such organizations, etc. It is always a suspect when a preacher becomes rich. I even discovered there is such a thing called evangelical monopoly. I say plainly prosperity gospel is a false gospel and those who preach prosperity gospel are false preachers. Not only prosperity gospel is a false gospel, there are many false gospels such as social gospel, political gospel, liberation gospel, racial gospel, etc.
2Co 4:2, “but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in trickery nor distorting the Word of God, but by the open
proclamation of the truth commending ourselves to every person's conscience in the sight of God.”
I am aware in America there are many preachers, churches, organizations, missions, etc. who distort the Word of God, walking in trickery.
Heb 4:12, “For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit,
of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
Some occupational preachers preach the Word of God like the teachings of men that put people to sleep because they do not have the power of the Holy Spirit.
Rev 1:2, “who testified to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, everything that he saw.”
It is the responsibility of every Christian to testify to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, just the knowledge alone is not enough.
In Conclusion
MANY kinds of knowledge you possess may not be true knowledge. Some knowledge is true for a certain time, all human and worldly knowledge will pass away. For example, in eternity the Kingdom of God, medical, financial, political, scientific, linguistic, engineering and economic knowledge will be of no use. Not only Wall Street knowledge will be useless, there will be no Wall Street at all. But true knowledge of God, His Son Jesus Christ, and His Word will never pass away.
Col 2:2, “that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that they would attain to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true
knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself.”
To know a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself is to know the one and true God.
Col 3:10, “and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it—”
To have a true knowledge according to the image of God you have to put on the new self, you must be born again to have the divine nature.
2Pe 1:3, “for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.”
Divine power is granted to those through the true knowledge of the Lord who called us by His own glory and excellence.
2Pe 1:8, “For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they do not make you useless nor unproductive in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Only children of God who have the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ possess qualities that make them useful and productive.
Someone said, “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
The man was wrong. I was young and now I am old. I do not make money out of you. This is the truth: God’s way is the only right way, the best way.
I agree with Socrates who said, “True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.”
Immanuel Kant said, “All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?
Question 1, you can know that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is your Lord and Savior.
Question 2, you ought to repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Question 3, you may hope.
Tit 2:12-14, “instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us
from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own
possession, eager for good deeds.”
Christians have the blessed hope of the second coming of Jesus Christ, but they must live sensibly, righteously, and in godly manner in this present age.

Staying optimistic does not guarantee you have a real hope. Do you want to have the blessed hope of the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior? Only by the true knowledge of Jesus Christ which surpasses all things. Choose wisely and believe.
Life is bitterness. Life is burden. Life is pain. Life is itch. Life is sorrow. Life is suffering. You need God’s salvation. Everyone needs God’s salvation. You want to escape. There is no way to escape. That was the reason Jesus Christ came into the world. Jesus declares: I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life: (Jhn 14:6). Without Christ, there is no Way. Without Christ, there is no Truth. Without Christ, there is no Life. All you need to do is to come to Christ. My God and Savior, here I come to Thee! You may come too.

What the heck, won’t it wondeful 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. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abundoned. Harvard is the richest universities 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 deserve 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 because 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 demostrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorce 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 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 Pelestinians 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.
“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.
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, 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. 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.
The Christian Faith is not a Delusion
1. The Christian Faith is NOT based on philosophical and theological grounds. Let us make it clear: The Christian Faith is NOT based on psychological, psychiatric or political grounds either. The Christian Faith is not based on human opinions or human wisdom at all. The Christian Faith is based on the Revelation of Jesus Christ by the power of His Resurrection from the dead. The Revelation of Jesus Christ is completed and written in the New Testament. The Revelation of Jesus Christ did not and does not promise a churchgoer “would not catch the virus because she was “covered in Jesus’ blood”. All the sins of the saved are covered by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and passed from condemnation. No pandemic or disease is covered by the blood of Jesus.
2. A false believer is any person who believes in his/her delusion or illusion, but not based on the Word of God. No religion conferred anyone immunity from COVID-19. Any one who believes so is not based on truth, but based on superstition. The Christian Faith is not superstition. For Jesus says,
Mar 2:17, “And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Any teacher or preacher who leads church members astray from the truth is a false teacher or preacher. In fact about 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ predicted things to come: Luk 21:10-11, “Then He continued by saying to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in many places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from Heaven.” And so COVID-19 is actually one of the plagues that fulfilled the prophesy of Jesus Christ. Plague in Greek is loimos which means pestilence; which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. Plague, pestilence, and pandemic mean the same thing.
3. Christianity is not like all other religions. All other religions are man-made. Christianity is the Revealed religion. It does not depend on any man or organization. Christianity is the truth in Jesus Christ, absolute, complete, supreme, ultimate, infallible and eternal. Christianity is not based on scientific truths either, because science is the best human organized knowledge at a point in time and place; science is always progressive, tentative, and never absolute, or infallible. No true or great scientist believes they have absolute scientific truths. The Christian faith is reasonable, not dangerous at all. Belief in an afterlife is NOT a malignant delusion. For Jesus Christ says, Jhn 11:25, “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies.”
For the Christian is the happiest because Jhn 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” The Christian is happiest because he has passed out of death (eternal death) into life (eternal life); his sins are forgiven he is a Pilgrim on his way to the Heavenly City. The richest and most powerful man in this world is without God and without hope. An unbeliever does not know when he is going to die, he is afraid of death because he is going to face the judgment of God. Christians have eternal security, nothing to fear, not even afraid of nuclear war.
4. You can equate any religion with delusion except Christianity, for Christians have blessed hope. Christians are citizens of Heaven, the eternal Kingdom of God. Your intellect cannot save you at the moment of death. There is no semantic quibble, nothing and no one can save you from death, and Hell. The biggest delusion are those who disbelieve after death is Hell. “When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion”. The biggest insanity is to make the wrong bet, as the great scientist and philosopher Pascal has argued most rationally,
