Waking Jonah

Words cannot say how much the Future Quake Show has impacted my life over the past 3 1/2 years since I began listening at Show 122 (an interview with Dr. Michael Heiser). Alex Jones may have woken me up in July 2008… but in September of 2008, Dr. Future and Tom Bionic taught me how to become a Truth seeker.

I will forever be grateful for that.

Dr. Future

Notes: Do everything that is good in the name of Jesus… do all for His glory; You can always be safe following the Golden Rule–how would you want to be treated?; Don’t follow the simplistic templates in religious literature… follow the leading of the Spirit; When you see the crowd–particularly of your own nation or religious group–begin to form in a mob, inciting each other to demonize groups or take aggressive action in anything other than love, then turn the other way, even if they don’t understand your action or motives; Obviously exploit God’s Word as your primary source of truth and reality about our world… and the one that we don’t see as well–don’t let others tell you what it means; Look to other unexpected sources and voices for surprising wisdom as well… get used to separating the baby from the bathwater with such sources; Remember that the differing opinion you hear may be the one you adopt later, a few years down the road… so be slow to judge; Jesus doesn’t always need defending; Always be on the lookout for subtle idols in our lives… anything we set up beyond critique in our lives–a status that only God deserves… these can be our patriotism, our loyalties to our political ideology or party, religious denomination or movement, or other label or tribe; When in doubt, always remember that it is always about Jesus; The person and work of Jesus Christ will aright a ship that’s listing in troubling and confusing waters, and straighten any crooked path; Set the captives free… spread Christ’s love… bind the devil… and elevate Jesus as God in flesh who dwelt among us and died in penalty for our sins, and who’s coming again

Dr. Future

Notes: Last parting words for his Futurians… what Dr. Future has learned from the last 7 years; When issues get confusing, just err on the side of love… when you don’t know the motives of someone else, err on the side of love… when you don’t know how to address a societal or personal problem, err on the side of love; If you do, and you still get it wrong, I am confident that Jesus Himself will forgive you for your own error; Do not judge entire societal, ethnic, national, or even religious groups by the actions of a few bad apples; You will find out when you  meet individuals of such groups that almost all people tend to want to live in peace, raise their kids in safety, and let them have a better life than they, and be kind to their neighbors; They also tend to want to please God in the way they understand Him, with the same human and sinful struggles; Never forget that we never have the whole story… only God… and give others the chance to explain themselves and their views, and take their perspective seriously and fairly, whether you finally agree with them or not… or only partially; Particularly listen to those who do not have a voice from established groups; Take the breath of life you have today as a gift, and a responsibility to make the most of it for the Lord’s kingdom

Notes: The PrisonPlanet.com article: “Ex-Israeli Intelligence Officer: “Pearl Harbor” Style Attack Will Be Pretext For War On Iran“… Which is very interesting when we think about what we had with the USS Liberty and how it was staged to be an event to get us into the Six-Day War

Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic
Guest: Will Grigg
Notes: Libertarian thinking starts with the understanding that all human beings are problematic and troublesome when entrusted with power, and that no human being is virtuous enough to exercise power over another; So no human being has the right to commit aggressive violence against another–that’s the Golden Rule; The fundamental tenant of libertarian thought is the Golden Rule–we’re all equal before the law; Really the only law is the non-aggression principle… and on that will hang the Constitution and all laws worthy of our respect–they’re all commentaries on or applications of the non-aggression axiom (or the Golden Rule); Virtue cannot be obtained through compulsion; It’s possible to use coercion defensively in order to protect yourself against the vicious, and there arguably is a role for coercion in terms of punishing conspicuous acts of viciousness, but you can’t make somebody righteous through coercion; The way that statism works is that it cocoons us in myriad laws and then leaves us completely at the mercy of the grace of the supposedly divine entity called the state; Libertarianism starts from the proposition that the state–being composed of flawed human beings–cannot make us virtuous through coercion

Notes: The Values Voter Summit for the religious right–to get the Christian vote in the straw poll; Ron Paul was the only candidate of any of them that opened up their Bible, and talked from the Bible; He talked about the Beatitudes and the Golden Rule; That element of the conservative Christian demographic in America that calls itself the Christian right is completely wedded to militarism (as indissolubly wedded to militarism as was the positivist Christian church–the so-called positive Christian German church of the 1920′s–that later on added Mein Kampf to the cannon, and put Mein Kampf in a place of honor that had once been reserved for the family Bible); The Bonhoeffer biography “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy“, by Eric Metaxas

Notes: The religious right’s pro-war associations… staunchly anti-Paul; Some of Ron Paul’s most vicious criticism has come from the religious right; Values Voter Summit; The Dreyfus affair in France; Are we in danger of the same thing happening with the evangelical conservative forces here?; There seems to have been a full-blown identification between the military on the one hand and the body of Christ on the other, and there’s a complete repudiation of the idea of the Golden Rule as it applies to people who are not part of our tribe (tribe in this instance being defined as the nation state, or being defined as a particular element of the nation state); A study of attitudes both domestically and internationally with respect to the question of torture… of all the social cohorts who were polled, the one that tested highest in support of torture was American evangelical Christians

Dr. Future and Tom Bionic discuss the book “Jesus: Friend to Terrorists“, by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, with Todd Nettleton, Director of Media Development for Voice of the Martyrs…

[Part 4 of a 4-Part series]

Show: Future Quake
Full Podcast: Rev. Wurmbrand’s Appeal For Christian Love For Terrorists Today
Date: 11/1/10
Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic
Guest: Todd Nettleton
Notes: The last line that Reverand Wurmbrand gives us in his book is “start by changing yourself“; You become more peaceful, you become more loving, and pretty soon, if all of us do that, we’ll start to have a world that is more peaceful and more loving; It’s a charge that you can’t walk away from and you can’t pass it off to somebody else… it’s on you to take the truth that you have and to start making it more a part of your life; You have to first believe that the Holy Spirit has the power in each of us to make this change one-on-one in people… it’s not necessarily a ballot box or any other power structures that are the key to win the battle, but it’s the Holy Spirit one-on-one in each one of us; You also have to acknowledge that these battles are spiritual battles, and not physical battles; When it says in the Bible that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and rulers in these dark places… if we’re going to have a struggle or anything regarding hatred, it should be addressed to the principalities and powers of darkness who stand condemned, rather than the human pawns that are in this physical sphere that are just a mere shadow of the spiritual battle that is truly going on; We have access to the power to change ourselves… not literally us changing ourselves, but allowing God to change us; When you see a terrorist and you see that God loves them and that God can change them, that changes your whole mindset of how you’re going to address them and interact with them, not as somebody to fear and hate, but as somebody who Jesus died for that needs to hear the message of the gospel… that’s a completely different mindset; Christians should get together and pray for these people, that God would illuminate their minds to what they’re doing, to fill them with the love of Jesus Christ, and somehow make a way that they could know about Jesus

Full Podcast: Rev. Wurmbrand’s Appeal For Christian Love For Terrorists Today
Date: 11/1/10
Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic
Guest: Todd Nettleton
Notes: Jesus fears and hates no one; According to Pastor Wurmbrand, the exortation “do not be afraid” is in the Bible 366 times; How should we feel about terrorists?… we should not be afraid, and we should not have hatred for them; We should see them through the eyes of Christ, and see them with His love, as somebody who has been led astray, but somebody with a soul that Jesus came and died for; Our media–even our Christian media–foster that fear and hate (or don’t fight against it); We have become the 30-second sound bite culture and you can’t have any nuance in a 30-second soundbite… so “Muslims are bad, and Christians are good”… that’s the soundbite–that’s the context of the reporting that we get; If you can get people scared about the menace, you will make them to do all sorts of things that they normally wouldn’t do; If you can convince them that if they don’t do this, they’re gonna lose family, friends, their way of life, etc., they will do stuff that is anathema to the gospel; American has just stayed in a perpetual state of emergency, and our Christian culture has stayed with that button… it has now switched gears over to Islam; It’s a lucrative position to take to keep the fans of of fear and hate; Americans will give a lot of money not to be fearful

Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic
Guest: Todd Nettleton
Notes: Across the Middle East there are stories of dreams and visions of God appearing to people–of Christ coming to them personally; God is going where his people are refusing to go and is ministering to them directly; A person in Iran came forward with a hand-written book that turned out to be word-for-word the entire gospel of John, which had been dictated to them by a “man” in a white robe that came to them at night; There are many Muslims who are seeking and want to do what God wants them to do… praise the Lord that He is reaching them and calling many to go and share the message there; God loves every one of them, He does not fear them, He loves and cares about them, and He’s looking for children who will come where the fields are white unto harvest and will reflect Him; We need to tell them the good news… that their sins can be forgiven, that they can see God one day, that they can have God as their Father; A lot of the Christian leadership in America has been so consumed with fanning the flames of fear and hatred for these people, and glorifying perpetual military solutions, that we’re missing out on on being able to participate in many of those blessings; The middle road is love… we love you and don’t want to see you go to hell, so because of our love, that’s why we’ve come with the gospel; Whether the fruit is accepted or not, that’s God’s task, not ours; We can’t share the gospel with these people and hate them all at the same time

Notes: Paul standing by at the stoning of Stephen… he thinks he’s serving God; He believes Stephen is challenging God and that he is getting the just punishment for his actions; Paul stands there thinking, “this is a godly thing to do”; Come forward 2,000 years and think about the Islamic terrorists who think “if I die in the cause of Allah, that’s the highest achievement I could have for my life”… they believe they are doing God’s will; It should hurt our hearts that Muslims who are devout in their faith are going to stand before God and He’s going to say “depart from me, I never knew you”; They really do believe they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing… it’s going to be a terrible wake-up call on judgment day; For those of us who know the truth and have the gospel, we have to go and tell them… we have to go and share the truth with them; We’re too busy being afraid of them and hating them to go en mass and show that kind of regard; The story of Cornelius… he who seeks finds; We can only hope and pray that those who are the true seekers that want to seek God, that God will make provision in the same way He did with Cornelius
