The indiscriminate denunciation of the rich is mischievous… No poor man was ever made richer or happier by it. It is quite as illogical to despise a man because he is rich as because he is poor. Not what a man has, but what he is, settles his class. We cannot right matters by taking from one what he has honestly acquired to be bestowed on another what he has not earned. President Benjamin Harrison. 23rd President of the United States. (1833-1901)

Faith without Works is? James 2:26
“I wish Christianity were more productive of good works…I mean real good works… not holy day keeping, sermon hearing… or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments despised by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Deity.” Benjamin Franklin
Founding Father’s on Socialism!
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions that were made to the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer! And, on the contrary, the less that was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer! Benjamin Franklin
National Emblem!
For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country! He is a bird of bad moral character! He does not get his living honestly! Benjamin Franklin Comment: Dear Mr. Franklin, He only kills for food like you and I. He does not kill for revenge and out of anger! He does not live on food stamps! When I get to Heaven I will explain that one! He is not dependent on the government! He does not get a welfare check! Again explain to you in Heaven! He actually works for a living! He builds his own house! He helps control populations! He has never told a lie! Just like George! Should we have chosen the vulture for our National emblem? He keeps our highways clean! He does not disturb the living! He probably would more accurately represent our government! So you ask me what emblem would best describe the American taxpayer? Road Kills! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Love of Money Root of All Evil 1 Timothy 6:10
He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money! Benjamin Franklin
Let There Be Light! Genesis 1:3
The phrase “Let there be”, is not the same Hebrew word used for “Created”, in Genesis 1:1. Actually the Hebrew word for our English phrase “Let there be”, means to exist. The word “created”, means to bring into existence. So in Genesis 1:1, God created the heavens and the earth. My question is when God finished creating the heavens and the earth did light exist? Were the lights out until verse three? I know the global carbon tax supporters wish the sun would go away! Some Christian’s do not let their light shine! Some theologians have come up with the gap theory? That is there were millions of years that transpired between verse one and verse three? I believe they were trying to reconcile the difference between the age of the earth as claimed by some scientists! Science does show us that the earth and all the planets are the same age! We cannot measure time without light! I believe light existed at the end of Genesis 1:1. In verse two we see the earth was surrounded by darkness and formless! It was covered by water and surrounded in darkness! Were all the other planets in the same condition? Why earth? Remember Lucifer got cast out of heaven with one third of the Angels for rebellion! We know where Lucifer or Satan hangs out is darkness and destruction! Lucifer though he owned the earth as he does today but God intervened as He does today! With no light being able to penetrate the cloud surrounding the earth Satan thought he had his hell on earth! Then in verse two God moves upon the earth and light breaks forth into the earth! Before I got saved God’s light was always here in the earth! He just let a little of His light into my soul and I got transformed! A new day! Let me put a disclaimer here! Benjamin Franklin said that if you are to live by Faith you have to throw reason out the window! Why? Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden used reason and made a bad choice! They did not have all the facts! Only God knows all the facts because he created all the facts! Our knowledge is limited! Even if we have a million facts about anything or anyone and lack one fact we will make a wrong choice! This is “reason” enough to trust God! This is why all Judgment is left to God!

Jesus Tribe Judah Means Thanksgiving! Genesis 29:35
Many Jewish commentators believe the secret of Judah’s Blessings are implicit in the Hebrew meaning of his name. When his mother gave birth to him she said, “This time I will give thanksgiving to the Lord!” Therefore she called his name Judah. Judah is taken from the Hebrew word Hodah which means giving thanks. The Jews gave the world two significant things! An awareness of God and the concept of gratitude! Aldous Huxley wrote, “Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.” Jewish life fights against this. The Talmud says, “If someone lacks this trait of thankfulness this person is not in fact a Jew!” Many Christian’s cannot do the math when it comes to counting our Blessings! It is interesting that today in Israel the only two tribes left is Judah and Benjamin! The Priestly tribe Levite is still there also. The other tribes were lost over time through persecution and exile. Why has Judah the tribe of Jesus Christ survived to this day? Could it had been from the attitude that bore their name? Rabbi Benjamin Blech
Which are You?
I have alternatively been called an Aristocrat and a Democrat. I am neither. I am a CHRISTOCRAT! Benjamin Rush (1745-1813)
Philosophers Pendulum!
By renouncing the Bible, philosophers swing from their moorings upon all moral subjects! The Bible is the only map of the human heart that has ever been published! Benjamin Rush (1745-1813)
