Sun Tzu The Art of War: Translation by John Minford

From Chapter Three Strategic Offensive.

Let's Start with Islam...

Why is this happening again?
Why does this strategy even exist?

And who are the "They" of "They plot and scheme, but so do I"

Qur'an 86:13-16 "This is a truly decisive statement, it is not something to be taken lightly.

They plot and scheme, but so do I: Prophet, let the disbelievers be, let them be for a while."

Qur'an 2:218 "But those who have believed, migrated and striven for God's cause, it is they who can look forward to God's mercy..."

Qur'an 9:20 "Those who believe, who migrated and strove hard in God's way with their possessions and persons, are in God's eyes much higher in rank; it is they who will triumph;"

Qur'an 13:41-42 "Do they not see how We come to their land and shrink it's borders? God decides - no one can reverse His decision - and He is swift in reckoning.

Those before them also schemed, but the overall scheme belongs to God: He knows what each soul does. In the end, the disbelievers will find out who will have the excellent home."

Qur'an 47:18-19 "What are the disbelievers waiting for, other than the Hour which will come upon them unawares? Its signs are already here, but once the Hour has actually arrived, what use will it be to take heed?"

Qur'an 9:14 "Fight them: God will punish them at your hands, He will disgrace them, he will help you conquer them, He will heal the believers feelings."

Qur'an 6:25 "Among them are some who [appear to] listen to you, but we have placed covers over their hearts - so they do not understand the Qur'an - and deafness in their ears.

Even if they saw every sign they would not believe in them. So, when they come to you, they argue with you: the disbelievers say, 'These are nothing but ancient fables.'"

Qur'an 43:79-80 "Have the disbelievers thought up some Scheme? We too have been scheming. Do they think We cannot hear their secret talk and their private counsel? Yes we can: Our messengers are at their sides, recording eveything."

We are all the victims of the hidden powers. This includes most Muslims, most Jews, immigrants and mixed race families, the vast majority of whom are simply victims of circumstance.

Peace requires understanding and mutual respect. Different groups all working on their own agendas within the same lands is itself divisive, causes a breakdown in trust and is the ultimate cause of conflict.

The Who of "They Plot and Scheme..."

"The Most Ancient Hatred..."

American Jewish Committee
"Antisemitism is the most ancient hatred, rooted in Christian religious teachings that go back millennia. Over that time antisemitism has morphed into variants that are both blatant and insidious, but equally harmful to Jews. The shape-shifting nature of antisemitism is part of what sets it apart. Antisemitism is also different from other forms of racism, which often vilify victims as inferior."

American Jewish Committee
"In addition to emphasizing how unworthy, unclean, and greedy Jews can be, antisemitism emphasizes that Jews see themselves as superior and deny opportunities to others. It accomplishes this with conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the media, banks, and government, as well as with derogatory stereotypes such as myths about "Jewish power" or the "Jewish lobby." This type of antisemitism, assailing Jews for their perceived power, especially resonates in today's context of anti-racism, which aims to disrupt traditional power structures."

IHRA Definition of Antisemitism "Making mendacious, dehumanising, demonising, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as a collective - such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions."

Why People Believe These Things...

"You Have Plotted the Ruin of Many Peoples..."

Ezekiel 22:27-28 (NIV)
27 Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain. 28 Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations. They say, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says' when the Lord has not spoken.

Jeremiah 7:9-11 (NIV)
9 "Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, "We are safe" safe to do all these detestable things? 11 Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord."

Romans 2:22 (NIV)
22 As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

Revelation 3:9 (NIV)
9 "I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars. I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you."

Hosea 9:7 (NIV)
7 The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this. Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired person a maniac.

Matthew 23:15 (NIV)
15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."

The Conspiracy...

The Propaganda of Atheism & More...

Communists are the useful idiots and cannon fodder of a societal collapse. Early adopters work subversively to help undermine society while the masses think they are fighting and dying for a workers paradise, rather than their own enslavement. Some see it as nothing more than a means to total power and world domination.

"Education is a weapon whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed." Stalin

"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." Lenin

"A lie told often enough will become the truth." Lenin

"The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion." Karl Marx

"Religion is the opium of the people: this saying of Marx is the cornerstone of the entire ideology of Marxism about religion. All modern religions and churches, all and of every kind of religious organizations are always considered by Marxism as the organs of bourgeois reaction, used for the protection of the exploitation and the stupefaction of the working class." Lenin

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation." Lenin

"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency." Lenin

"The state is an instrument for coercion. We want to organize violence in the name of the interests of the workers." Lenin

Hell Broth and Brutalisation...

1922 English translation

The Communist Explanation...

Section 32 "A Decisive victory over the enemy and the realization of the dictatorship of the proletariat - Such will be the inevitable outcome of the world wide civil war."

Section 33 "Manifestly it is essential that Humanity shall make an end of capitalism once and for all. With this goal in view, we can endure the period of civil wars, and can pave the way for Communism, which will heal all wounds."

Section 56 "It is essential that the working class should overcome all national prejudices and national enmities. This is a requisite, not only for the world-wide attack upon capital and for the complete overthrow of the capitalist system, but also for the organization of a single world-wide economic system."

Section 57 "The bourgeoisies of all countries, especially of late, join the cry, 'down with the Jews!' The aim of this is to switch off the class struggle of the workers against their capitalist oppressors, into a struggle between nationalities."

Section 60 "Today, even British ministers of state sometimes deliver antisemitic orations. This is an infallible sign that the bourgeois system in the West is in the eve of a collapse, and that the bourgeoisie is endeavouring to ward off the workers' revolution by throwing Rothchilds and Mendelssohns to the workers as sops."

Section 77 "In the matter of education, as in all other matters, the Communist Party is not merely faced by constructive tasks, for in the opening phases of it's activity it is likewise faced by destructive tasks. In the education system bequeathed to it by capitalist society, it must hasten to destroy everything which has made of the school an instrument of the capitalist class rule."

Section 92 "The transition From socialism to Communism, the transition from the society which makes an end of capitalism to the society which is completely freed from all traces of class division and class struggle, will bring about the natural death of all religion and all superstition."

Section 92 "If the church were to be persecuted it would win sympathy among the masses, for persecution would remind them of the almost forgotten days when there was an association between religion and the defence of national freedom; It would strengthen the antisemitic movement; and in general it would mobalize all the vestiges of an ideology which is already beginning to die out."

A State of Deception...

Don't be deceived, all are being used by Satanists to bring the same revolutionary strategy to fruition. Creating all the poverty, misunderstanding and hatred needed to feed the beast of world Communism.

Government is Not Simply Incompetent!

Infiltration and Subversion Are As easy As In The Image Below...

World Communism is their goal. Obviously most Communists don't realise they are being deceived into assisting the Synagogue of Satan take over the world.

Liberalism is used to break down traditional values and morals while using political correctness to silence any opposition.

History is being hidden and repeated.....

Mein Kampf (My Struggle) James Murphy Translation

Volume 1 Chapter 4

"Nobody can doubt that this world will one day be the scene of dreadful struggles for existence on the part of mankind. In the end the instinct of self-preservation alone will triumph."

"Once we know what the consequences of this 'internal colonization' theory would be we can no longer consider as a mere accident the fact that among those who inculcate this quite pernicious mentality among our people the Jew is always in the first line."

"It is specially difficult to understand how the belief that the State is brought into being and preserved by economic forces could gain currency in a country which has given proof of the opposite in every phase of its history. The history of Prussia shows, in a manner particularly clear and distinct, that it is out of the moral virtues of the people and not from their economic circumstances that a State is formed."

"But as soon as economic interests begin to predominate over the racial and cultural instincts in a people or a State, these economic interests unloose the causes that lead to the subjugation and oppression."

"How then did it happen that the political instincts of this very same German people became so degenerate? For it was not merely one isolated phenomenon which pointed to this decadence, but morbid symptoms which appeared in alarming numbers, now all over the body politic, or eating into the body of the nation, like a gangrenous ulcer. It seemed as if some all-pervading poisonous fluid had been injected by some mysterious hand into the bloodstream of this once heroic body, bringing about a creeping paralysis that affected the reason and the elementary instinct of self-preservation."

"Even as early as that time I warned people around me, just as I am warning a wider audience now, against that soothing slogan of all indolent and feckless nature: Nothing can happen to us."

"Long before then the spiritual and moral decline of the German people had set in, though those who were affected by the morbid decadence were frequently unaware - as so often happens - of the forces which were breaking up their very existence."

Volume 1 Chapter 10

"The broad masses of the people see little of the cultural, political, and moral background of this collapse. Many of them completely lack both the necessary feeling and powers of understanding for it."

"If we study the course of our cultural life during the last twenty-five years we shall be astonished to note how far we have already gone in this process of retrogression.

Everywhere we find the presence of those germs which give rise to protuberant growths that must sooner or later - bring about the ruin of our culture."

"Only those who have nothing of value to give to the world will oppose everything that already exists and would have it destroyed at all costs."

"The efforts made to conceal the past from the eyes of the present afforded clear evidence of the fact that these apostles of the future acted from an evil intent.

These symptoms should have made it clear to all that it was not a question of new, though wrong, cultural ideas but of a process which was undermining the very foundations of civilisation.

It threw the artistic feeling which had hitherto been quite sane into utter confusion, thus spiritually preparing the way for political Bolshevism."

"The ultimate and most profound reason of the German downfall is to be found in the fact that the racial problem was ignored and that its importance in the historical development of nations was not grasped."

Volume 2 Chapter 1

"Once we understand the impenetrable stupidity of our public, we cannot be surprised that such tactics turn out successful. Led by the press and blinded once again by the alluring appearance of the new program, the bourgeois as well as the proletarian herds of voters faithfully return to the common stall and re-elect their old deceivers...

Scarcely anything else can be so depressing as to watch this process in sober reality and to be the eyewitness of this repeatedly recurring fraud. On a spiritual training ground of that kind it is not possible for the bourgeois forces to develop the strength which is necessary to carry on the fight against the organized might of Marxism."

"Marxism will march shoulder to shoulder with democracy until it succeeds indirectly in securing for its own criminal purposes even the support of those whose minds are nationally oriented and whom Marxism strives to exterminate."

"As I have said, only a very credulous soul could think of binding himself to observe the rules of the game when he has to face a player for whom those rules are nothing but a mere bluff or a means of serving his own interests, which means he will discard them when they prove no longer useful for his purpose."

"On this planet of ours human culture and civilization are indissolubly bound up with the presence of the Aryan. If he should be exterminated or subjugated, then the dark shroud of a new barbarian era would enfold the earth. To undermine the existence of human culture by exterminating its founders and custodians would be an execrable crime in the eyes of those who believe that the folk-idea lies at the basis of human existence."

"Only when the international idea, politically organized by Marxism, is confronted by the folk idea, equally well organised in a systematic way and equally well led - only then will the fighting energy in the one camp be able to meet that of the other on an equal footing: and victory will be found on the side of eternal truth."

Volume 1 Chapter 3

"For the first time nationalists and patriots were transformed into rebels. Not rebels against the nation or the state as such but rebels against a form of government which, they were convinced, would inevitably bring about the ruin of their own people."

"If a Government uses the instruments of power in its hands for the purpose of leading a people to ruin, then rebellion is not only the right but also the duty of every individual citizen."

"The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of glowing passion: but those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others. It is only through the capacity for passionate feeling that chosen leaders can wield the power of the world which like hammer blows, will open the door to the hearts of the people."

From the May 1932 Emergency Economic Program of the NSDAP.
"The Marxist objection that one must proletarianize the independent middle class in the interests of hurrying the arrival of the future Marxist state contradicts the interests of the German worker. The goal for the German worker must not be the proletarianizing of the middle class, but rather the deproletarianizing of the German worker, and providing him with property."

From Hitler's Last Political Testament signed on 29 April 1945 as the Russians closed in on Berlin.
"I never desired that after the first terrible World War a second war should arise against England or even against America. Centuries may pass, but out of the ruins of our cities and cultural monuments there will arise anew the hatred for the people who alone are ultimately responsible: International Jewry and its helpers."

Joseph Goebbels
"There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph."

Christendom is Assailed and Must be Defended...

Satanic and Communist Infiltration

Quotations from The Answer to Communism by Douglas Hyde.

"The theoreticians have written plenty about the revolution and how it is to be fought and won, and about the dictatorship of the proletariat and the forms it should take.

But about Communism itself they have been rather more reticent. Thus, for example, William Gallacher M.P. in his "Penguin" book, "The case for Communism" devotes just two and a quarter pages to "Communist Society," out of a total of over 200 pages - and this despite the title of the book!

This creates problems when the new member innocently asks the local leaders to recommend a book which will outline Communist aims in a simple and handy form. But it is no accident that no such work exists...

Because the long-term Communist aim has been left vague, each member makes the word "Communism" a mould into which he pours his own content, making it his ideal. And so it can claim the whole of his idealism and, not unnaturally, exactly represents his ideal!"

"But if the Marxists have been vague about their Communist goal they have never hesitated to outline in detail the form which the dictatorship of the proletariat is to take and insist that the dictatorship is a necessary and inevitable step which must follow the revolution and precede the Communist society."

"The weapon for achieving this is the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. And the methods used are those normal to any other dictatorship. Restriction of liberty; suppression of all opposition; the one-party system; conscious limitation of the freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

The whole machinery of State, which Lenin called the weapon of persuasion and coercion -- the Press, the platform, the radio, the schools, for persuasion; the police, the courts, the jails and the armed forces for coercion -- is used to this end."

"The "bourgeoisie" may, and almost certainly will, retaliate and the answer to that must be the Red Terror, for which party members must prepare their minds. And the Secret Police is seen in advance as a necessary institution without which the Dictatorship of the Proletariat can never become a reality."

"And when you have a small group of men heading a tightly exclusive organisation in possession of power for so long they must almost inevitably either become corrupted by absolute power or reach a stage where they are unwilling to relinquish it. Thus, where Communism has seized power there is a strong probability that the Dictatorship of the Proletariat will be found in time not to be "transitional" at all but a permanency. And the rather hollow pretence that it is dictatorship by a class is in time likely to give way to the open and naked dictatorship of the leaders of the party."

"The Marxist declares that this is a material world. He denies utterly and completely, the existence of God and the soul. The spiritual -- which to him is really no more than the "cultural" -- proceeds only from the material mind of man and is, therefore, secondary to matter. In this, of course, he does not differ very much from many other materialists who have gone before him. But, he claims, the "bourgeois" materialism of the past has been a negative thing. Dialectical materialism he says, is something more positive. And that is where the dialectic comes in, making his materialism the most militant, aggressive atheism of all time. Marxism claims to have discovered certain laws and processes of nature which run throughout the entire physical universe and to which all matter, including man, is subject. Most significant of these laws is the conflict of opposites. All progress, all development, has come from this conflict. Out of the clash between opposing forces comes something new which is neither one nor the other -- the thesis, antithesis and synthesis."

"Then, at the appropriate moment, comes the transition of quantitative into qualitative change, the revolutionary leap. The old system collapses or is made to collapse when the rulers are no longer able to govern. And those same conditions make it possible to unite the ruled, who take over by force, establishing a new system of society in which they become rulers. Thus the dialectic gives the Communist certainty and confidence in the final victory of his cause. The very laws that govern the universe are on his side. He alone understands them and uses them for his own purpose. He is the conscious and willing instrument of the historical process. The revolution for which he works must come, it is inevitable. He will accelerate its coming and lead it at the moment of opportunity. The victory of his cause is assured."

"In other words, the Communist will see the revolution for which he sacrifices his time and effort, for which he lives, in his lifetime, if he understands the processes of history, speeds up the class war by stimulating class-hatred, and skilfully leads the masses at the right moment."

"The dynamic effect of dialectical materialism upon the individual who accepts it is incalculable. Its effect upon morale is terrific.

In its consequences it is as though Christians knew for a certainty that if they worked hard enough they would see the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth within their lifetime."

"To the trained Marxist social injustice is something to exploit. He does not campaign against it in order to improve bad social conditions, for Communism feeds on such conditions.

The Marxist maintains that things must steadily worsen in any case and that it is precisely the worsening of those conditions which gives him his opportunity.

He uses social injustice in order to establish Communism, and to the seasoned Marxist that is the beginning and the end of his interest in social justice."

"The class-war provides him, too, with his only test of right and wrong. Does it serve the class-war or does it not? That is the question.

If it serves the cause of the revolution it is right, if it harms it it is wrong. Upon the basis of this simple test, the Marxist man finds that anything is permissible, no matter how cruel, how immoral -- provided only that it is good for the cause."

"In the class-war any sort of subterfuge is permissible, the Communist says. You may deceive the enemy, pretending to be a friend, penetrating or infiltrating his ranks and then revealing yourself as his foe and, if need be, stabbing him in the back. In the conduct of the class-war, too, you look for allies, use them for just as long as it suits your purpose to do so, and then, if the cause is served thereby, either drop them or round on them as the case may be."

"We sought to create or awaken class bitterness, out of which came class hatred and from which we could make and win a civil war. We put our trust in hate."

"And when thousands of people holding such views and behaving in such a manner, are organised into national parties, linked in a world wide battlefront, they become something formidable indeed."

"No matter what organisation you join you must give the appearance of being the best possible member. And this is precisely what the Communists have done."

"But the Communist does not sit back. When everyone else is doing so he comes forward and takes the job. He sets about doing it well and for this reason goes from one position in his organisation to another until, in some cases, he ends up at the top."

"His purpose is to "capture" the organisation and convert it into a weapon of the class war."

"When the Communists wish to destroy an organisation this is how they proceed: First, they attempt to win the support of some, at least, of the rank and file. By carefully chosen campaigns and ingenious propaganda they seek to make it appear they and their future victims have really a good deal in common and that, therefore, it is only common sense to achieve some measure of co-operation."

"Secondly, they seek to "isolate" the leaders from the rank and file in order to render the former defenceless and the latter leaderless. This may be done by means of spreading personal calumnies against individuals, by creating doubt as to their suitability as leaders or as to their personal integrity."

"Normally such a process takes time and several lines will be pursued simultaneously; the wooing of the rank and file; the isolating, discrediting and ultimate destruction of the leadership; the driving of wedges between the leaders to facilitate the process. At the right moment, when the process has gone sufficiently far, the job of developing new leaders, creatures of the party, within the rank and file or among the existing lesser leaders is started."

"At the right moment, when the old leaders have been removed or driven out, the "stooge leaders" will be presented to the populace as the ones who have all along represented the best traditions, interests and wishes of the people."

"That is the Communist technique; skilfully to conduct campaigns allegedly for a set of demands which appear reasonable and concerned only with the worker's bread and butter or the intellectual's peace of mind but which are in reality intended to achieve entirely different ends which serve only the cause of Communism. If on the basis of past experience, people can be made to understand these things the Communist propaganda will fail. It is on ignorance of their methods and intentions that it thrives."

"The Communists are often described as masters of the technique of organisation. They have created or moulded to their desire, organisations for everyone and everything and all are used for one purpose - the furthering of the cause of Communism, regardless of what may be the declared aim and purpose."

"In Czechoslovakia by the time of the February putsch the vast majority of organisations had been either rendered leaderless, provided with fake leaders or were riddled through and through with quislings."

"Communism today gives men a sense of direction, a purpose in life, a cause to fight for, an ideal to sacrifice for and if needs be, die for. It claims their zeal, their devotion, their loyalty. These are things which belong to religion."

"There is a tremendous need for well instructed Christians, men and women who understand their Faith as the Communists understand theirs. It is not sufficient simply to be in possession of faith today. It is necessary also to understand it - as every Christian who starts speaking out in the workshop or marketplace for the things in which he believes quickly discovers."

"The Communist spends hours, after giving to his cause what would be the whole of anyone else's spare time, to the study of Marxism theories and policies. The result is that he always has "all the answers". We live in serious, critical times when the faith is challenged at every turn. To know and understand it is to realise that we have the answer to that challenge. To fail to know it is to be in danger of letting it down and even playing into the hands of its enemies, as ill-instructed Christians who have been taken in by the Communists' guile have done before."

"Christendom is assailed and must be defended. These are dangerous days and they demand sacrifices of those who see the danger. But they are days of colossal opportunities too. For in our lifetime are being tried, tested and found wanting, in the form of Communism and modern paganism, all those wrong ideas which have increasingly befogged the mind of man and bedevilled the world for generations."

"To those who have faith falls the job of showing a disillusioned generation the answer, by understanding the social needs of our day and meeting them for love of our fellow men and the love of God; by accepting the responsibilities which fall to men who live in the workday world and must meet and defeat evil wherever it is to be found, and by striving after a personal sanctity which will destroy at the roots a creed which has grown out of a faithless age. In defeating Communism by such means we shall do much more. We shall bring nearer the day when the reconversion of England to Christianity is a reality and not something of which we wistfully write and dream but never achieve."

"My Fathers House Has Many Rooms"

Biblical Meaning, Ordered to Flow...

The Pieces Keep Falling Into Place...

Matthew 7:15-29 (NIV)
15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?

17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

John 7:1-13 (NIV)
1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.

2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near, 3 Jesus' brothers said to him, "Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.

4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world." 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

6 Therefore Jesus told them, "My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. 8 You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come." 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.

10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.

11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, "Where is he?"

12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others replied, "No, he deceives the people."

13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.

John 8:31-47 (NIV)
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?"

34 Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word.

38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father."

39 "Abraham is our father," they answered.

"If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.

Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father."

"We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself."

42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.

43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?

47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

Revelation 3:9 (NIV)
9 "I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars. I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you."

Matthew 13:3-23 (NIV)
3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop, a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear."

10 The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?"

11 He replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

13 This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving."

15 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them."

16 "But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

18 "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.

23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

Matthew 23:15 (NIV)
15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."

Matthew 23:31-33 (NIV)
31 "So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started! 33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?"

Ephesians 6:10-17 (NIV)
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Revelation 2:9 (NIV)
9 "I know your afflictions and your poverty, yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan."

Titus 1:13-16 (NIV)
13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith

14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.

15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

All those the Father gives me...

Acts 17:29-31 (NIV)
29 "Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image made by human design and skill.

Ecclesiastes 10:4-7 (NIV)

5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, the sort of error that arises from a ruler:

6 Fools are put in many high positions, while the rich (in knowledge) occupy the low ones.

7 I have seen slaves on horseback, while princes go on foot like slaves.

Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.

3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.

Romans 14:1-3 (NIV)
1 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarrelling over disputable matters.

for God has accepted them.

Romans 14:5-6 (NIV)
5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

Matthew 20:1-16 (NIV)
1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

3 "About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.'

5 So they went. "He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing.

6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'

7 "'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'

8 "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'

9 "The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.

10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius.

11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner.

12 'These who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'

13 "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius?

14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'

16 "So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (NIV)

13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."

king of kings and lord of lords.
