I graduated from the US Army Officer Candidate School (OCS) in 1985 and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant. Of necessity I had ponder spiritual things deeply in order to become at peace with two major responsibilities of being a US military officer.
1. I must be ready to send people to hell. Perhaps great multides of people would enter eternal torment as a direct result of my actions.
2. I must be ready to commit suicide. I may need to take actions that I know, in advance, will most likely result in the cessation of my heartbeat and brainwaves.
All the jobs I’ve held since my time in the green machine have seemed spiritually trivial.
I shan’t dig through diaries to tell the chronological tale of the spiritual journey. Instead, I’ll just state where I am now.
The 2nd proposal, committing suicide, is quick to deal with. Throwing a rope over a garage rafter is wrong. Throwing my body on a hand grenade to save the lives of other soldiers is right. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 KJV. It was relatively easy to conclude that, in the right circumstance, the single biggest and best thing I could do with my life would be to choose to end it.
The first job requirement, that of needing to be prepared to kill people, sending the vast majority to eternal torment, required more work and meditation.
I concluded that no one is surprised to be either a sheep or a goat on judgment day. Everyone will know that they chose, deliberately and totally voluntarily, either an eternity of paradise or an eternity of torment. Details of this are currently in draft.
I concluded this: Sometimes evil people just have to die. They have to die. There is no other way to get rid of their vile, evil influences than to have them die.
And to get them to die, you usually have to kill them. An interested 2nd party has to make the decision to stop their breathing, then act on that decision.
Sadly, sometimes you just have to kill the evil people. Sometimes there is simply no other recourse to stopping evil than killing whole flocks of vile, hateful, evil humans. They have to die!
Jezebel? She had to be killed.
The prophets of Baal? Those wicked dudes just had to be killed.
The armies at the Battle of Armageddon? Jesus “Love thy neighbor as thyself” Christ will kill the evil people with the sword of his mouth.
“Turn the other cheek.” I only have four. Two on my face. The two on my butt are almost gone, having been chewed out so many times. Do I have to put up with evil forever?
No.
The earth is God’s ball, and we are all going to play by his rules. Period.
These conclusions are how I came to be prepared to send out a squad to occupy hill 417 until relieved, knowing the relief would not come before they had been converted into little, tiny people-pieces. I would have to write condolence letters to grieving loved ones, knowing that many of the sons or husbands or daughters or wives I personally sent out to die were at that moment sizzling and frying and screaming and baking and wailing and being chewed on by worms in the (I believe) relatively pleasant conditions of the temporary lockup of hell, waiting to flung like boogers into the (I believe) far worse lake of fire, the second death. At the Great White Throne Judgment, I would see them. When they are on trial, they might bring up “Lieutenant Jerde” by name.
I don’t care who you are, that’s heavy-duty.
These conclusions are how I came to be mentally prepared to obey an order for my whole platoon, including me, to go occupy hill 417 – knowing full well we would all be dead before relief could make it to us.
I am mentally and spiritually prepared to kill, in vast quantities if necessary. I am prepared to commit suicide, if necessary. Not only do I have things to live for, I have things I am willing to die for. I know I do.
The Army done teached me good.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, please make sure your seat belts are securely fastened. Put away your carry on items and secure your tray table in the upright and locked position. The captain of this post has turned on the seat belt light, indicating turbulence ahead. You are in for a very bumpy ride. By God, (yes, this is a prayer,) I hope I can make some people think!
It is my heart’s desire that people I pray for soberly consider the times we are in. The fat lady has powdered her nose. She is warming up her voice, walking to center stage. Things are about to get crazy. For the ten wise virgins, it will be a glorious, happy party. For the ten foolish virgins, the pre-saved and the damned, it will be, literally, hell on earth. Read Matthew 24. God’s going to intervene. NO ONE would survive if He didn’t. The time to choose sides is now! Very soon it will be too late to switch sides.
Freedom isn’t the power to do whatever you want. Freedom is the power to do what is right. God’s ball, God’s rules.
The by-in-large parasite class in Congress seems to have forgotten what We The People wanted when we elected them to represent us. Apparently they think the Constitution begins with “Wee the People.” Well, we’re tired of being peed on. To start with, we don’t like you having retirement and health plans inaccessible to us. I know it would be easy to get them to fix this by passing an act this breathtakingly simple:
“Congress shall make no law that favors or exempts itself. All such acts extant are null and void.”
Bye-bye cushy Congressional retirement. Social Security works for all of us. And all Americans have the same health care plan. Congress doesn’t get a great one for cheap.
How could this happen? We military types know to take a cue from Sun Tzu, the The Art of War dude. He motivated a harem of concubines to take their military training seriously. Initially they tittered and laughed. They got very, very serious when one of them was lying on the floor, her head some distance from the body.
Sometimes, you just have to kill the evil people. Oftentimes, one is enough.
The left has every reason to try to disarm US Veterans. They have every reason to fear us. We love our country, hate what evil people are doing to it, and don’t think the oath we took has expired. This oath includes defending the country against domestic enemies. And we’ve had just about enough of closed-minded morons trampling on the freedoms bought at such high price.
The “The Congress Is The People Act” above is trivially easy to get passed. Shoot the first “nay” voter. I bet there won’t be any more.
The year before I got saved was a very stressful time for me. During that time I had a dream I still vividly remember some 39 years later. In the dream I walked up to a swimming pool and jumped in. I floated midway in the water for quite awhile, on my back looking up at the surface of the pool. I vividly noted two things. First, I felt very secure. I felt loved and very, very peaceful. Second, I was not breathing! I was extremely aware of the fact that I was alive, but my rib cage was not expanding and contracting. I was alive but not breathing!
There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that this dream was a recollection of my time in the womb. When in the womb I knew what security felt like and the dream showed me I wanted it again. I was me before the morally-inconsequal act of being born. My mom and every other woman has the right to control their own bodies. That right does not extend to babies growing in their wombs. These are separate human beings, entitled to live. Abortion is nothing more than a law that gives landlords a “right” to kill their tenants. Abortion is murder. Period.
God hates murder. In fact, it’s in His Top-Ten List. America should not have laws that legalize murder. How do we get rid of these bad laws? Well, sometimes you just have to kill the evil motherfuckers. There’s no other way to rid the land of their evil ways. The Army taught me it’s ok to kill people against whom I have no personal grievance. Think I’d have much problem killing someone with whom I have gigantic personal grievances? Philosophically I have no issue with performing a “late term abortion”, at the 609th month, on an abortion doctor who just turned 50.
Do I think there will be a “righteous uprising?” Well, not from our side. We vets are, as a rule, praying that God will peacefully restore freedom and righteousness to America. I don’t think there can be people who hate war and killing more than military people and veterans. But please, please stop pushing us. You are picking a fight you cannot win, because the morally-right is not on your side.
Are you following God's plan for your life?
You should.
Your plan sucks.
It really, really sucks.
Suckage Maximus.
Most people are WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
Jesus is coming.
Are you ready to meet Him?
Give your life to Jesus Christ.
Time is running out.
Lift Up Your Eyes!
