Was Jesus Christ the first hippie who went around saying “Man of peace”?
Okay, I know that for most people this question will sound laughable, even laughable, but there is a very serious side to this question. From the hippie thing, which started in my youth in the late 1960s, cam a new religion, it just wasn’t new. It was and is as old as ancient Babylon itself, if not older. However, the hippie phenomenon never died out; those who were a part of it and could never leave it as they grew older became members of the New Age Religion or Movement. The New Age Movement is just an extension of pantheism (belief that matter is a manifestation of God). It also draws from a myriad of belief systems; Utopianism, Buddhism, Brahmanism, Hari-Krishna, mysticism, sorcery, crystals, witchcraft and the occult, in other words, devil worship. These people even believe in a ‘Christ’ and of course this ‘Christ’ is an antichrist. He is also the king of the hippies with his long hair and goatee! By now you must have noticed what an adaptable and flexible person this effeminate wimp ‘Jesus’ is.
As many of us already know, the hippies during the 1960s and early 1970s were fanatics of hallucinogenic drugs. Hallucinatory drugs, once absorbed into the human anatomy, affect the mind in such a way as to give demons and the Devil easy access to their minds. They open the door to demonic possession and all the negative effects that come with it. This is not everything; many of these emotionally unstable, immature and irresponsible drug addicts became politicians and are now our ‘leaders’. These are the same people who ‘rule us’ and believe in a New Age or Utopian New World Order – One World Government. Recent and current Western leaders are all ‘registered members’ in this utopian New Age or New World Order nonsense. Why is it nonsense? It is nonsense because it is doomed; it will fail as all man-made plans to dominate and rule the world have failed in the past.
To compound their miserable deluded condition, these New Agers can and do claim to have a spiritual dimension, but what kind of spirituality are we talking about? Well, as we can see, it is definitely not the spirituality of the Holy Spirit. How do we know this, we know this because glory is never given to the Lord Jesus Christ for anything they do, and nor could it be, and the reason. The reason is simple; nothing they do is from the Lord Jesus Christ and nothing is led by the Holy Spirit. Everything they do is theirs and their perverted, drug-damaged minds, with the promptings and encouragement of the devil himself. Other than the Holy Spirit, the only other types of spirits are demonic or evil spirits. I will repeat that, because it is of crucial importance: apart from the Holy Spirit of Deity, there are only demon spirits. We need to understand this basic fundamental truth.
The New Age Movement is based on witchcraft. The Word of God has a name for these people – necromancers; people who have contacts and dealings with evil spirits. Some do this under the pretext that they are talking to the dead: sorcerers, mystics and mediums, etc. This in itself is a lie because the dead are dead (asleep) and know nothing. Deuteronomy 18:10-11 will not be found among you anyone who puts their son or daughter through fire, (a precursor to abortion) or who uses divination, (water diviners and levitation experts) or an observer of the times (astrologers, fortune tellers, palmists and tarot readers) . readers), or a charmer (hypnotists), or a witch, (witchcraft, crystal users often as lifestyle gurus) 11 Or a charmer, or a consultation with familiar spirits (spiritualists or mediums), or a magician ( sorcery, sorcerers, magicians, practitioners of voodoo or black magic), or a necromancer. (All parentheses are mine)
All of the above activities are of the Devil and all the things that Divinity commanded Israel not to get involved in, to avoid at all costs. Israel, like us today, completely ignored the advice and commandments of the Lord. The good advice and warnings of her loving parents were completely ignored and they ultimately paid the inevitable price, the price of punishment in the form of national invasion and captivity. Will Britain and the United States meet the same catastrophic end? I hope not, but all evidence and signs point to the contrary. There’s even a Bible prophecy to back it up, which I’ll cover in another article.
Was Jesus Christ all over Hollywood, luvvy duvvy, sentimental and always so nice trying not to offend people?
Not the answer to this. The problem here is the word ‘love’ and many Christians do not understand what God’s love is. God’s love when exercised toward us usually involves ‘hard’ things. His love is often a testing love as well as a blessed love. Why is that? Why, to help us develop our faith and strengthen our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, Is this a mature brotherly bond, based on faith? It’s not a relationship based on “feel good” sensationalism, maudlin sentimentality, or fleeting childish emotionalism. Some silly ‘Christian’ women even idealize their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is a brother to those the Father has chosen for Him, so when did a brother become romantically involved with a sister without making it incestuous, an evil sin? Most of this nonsensical emotional crap about the Lord Jesus Christ comes from what is known as the ‘Charismatic’ movement. They are also known as ‘happy cheering Christians’ here in Britain.
I have been a member of one of these groups in the past and it was like a small cult with a very manipulative ‘minister’. It was all based on the next ‘experience’ or ‘trick’ to give everyone a ‘buzz’ or ‘new high’. This was like a drug fix for most of them and they all came in Sunday morning to get it and then went home to get the ‘come down’. Their songs would be modern pop style songs with guitars, drums and electronic instruments which I have no complaints about. The problem was the vain and repetitive nature of the songs with verses repeated over and over and over and over again. This is something the Lord hates: Matthew 6:7 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitionsas do the nations, who think that for their many words they will be heard. The songs are just community prayers sung out loud. So here we have ‘Christians’ behaving as pagans do to get a mindless ‘feel good’ emotional high. Everything is vanity and everything is nonsense and The Lord Jesus Christ hates it.
If you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was ‘kind’ with a desire not to offend, then bookmark, learn and internally digest these Scriptures.
Luke 18:22-23 Hearing Jesus these things, he said to him: You still lack one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute among the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come follow me 23 And hearing this, he was very saddened, because he was very rich.. Here was a man who was a ruler and had always kept the Commandments and yet he lacked one thing and the Lord Jesus Christ required that of him in order for him to become one of his followers. Tough love in action.
John 8:10-11 Jesus getting up, and seeing no one but the woman, said to her: Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you? 11 She said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said to him: Neither do I condemn you; Go away and sin no more. Tough love in action.
Now here’s a real problem: Go away and sin no more, but no one can doubt the love that the Lord Jesus Christ showed him. How did she and she sin no more, how did she do it without a great deal of internal turmoil and struggle? We are not told, but we must remember that she was not born again, so she had no help with her spiritual battles, very difficult ones indeed.
John 2:3-4 And when they lacked wine, the mother of Jesus said to him: They have no wine. 4 Jesus knows him, Woman, what have I to do with you? my time has not yet come.
A quick rebuttal from The Lord Jesus Christ to His mother to rebuke her for her meddling. Tough love even for the mother of Jesus.
Matthew 16:22-23 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying: Far from you, Lord, let this happen to you. 23 But he, turning, said to Peter: Get away from me, Satan; You are a stumbling block for me, because you do not like the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
Peter’s benefactor rebuked by the Lord Jesus Christ in love – tough love. Note also that doing good is of men, not of God.
We could also add to this list the number of times that the Lord Jesus Christ rebuked and admonished the Pharisees and Sadducees with terms such as nests of vipers, hypocrites, whitewashed sepulchres, etc. All done with love to show them the error of their ways. Were they listening? No, but I hope you are, because it’s time to stop putting your faith in a false Christ, a sissy cowardly Christ who is the king of the Christian Religion and those wretched aging hippies!
