The Imprisonment of Self: How Atheism Became the Established Religion of the United States

Navigating the course of how mankind has used the gifts that God gave him, it became more evident that it only required a few people to cause pivotal changes in the high story that has resulted in man’s journey away from the Living God. The irony is that many actions that led people away from God occurred in the name of seeking God.

For a great segment of the current population of the Living God’s earth, many men no longer seek the Living God; they seek a god, or the gods. Some seek a single god, but limit that god’s power to the limits of their own emotion or intellect. Their god can only give them what they think or believe they should be able to attain. However, their god can easily be blamed if what they envision for themselves does not come to fruition.

Some espouse that they have found God, but the Sacred Scriptures, God’s revelation of Himself to mankind, are false; that men fabricated the Scriptures. These people claim that they have a great relationship with God and know Him well, without the benefit of God allowing them to know Him through the revelations contained in the Sacred Scriptures, in particular, the Gospels. They may or may not believe that Our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the three Persons of the Living God, a reality that is difficult, if not impossible for human beings to grasp, much less understand.

Others evangelize according to the teachings of men who did not live at the time of Christ’s ministry, but some fifteen hundred years later. One of those men altered the Scriptures to suit his own purposes. The followers of those men pick and choose the teachings they like, while disregarding the teachings they dislike. The formula used to decide whether doctrines are palatable usually results from decision of what can make their lives relaxed and harmonious to others and the world around them; what can be easily digested on an emotional level. Either they may attain salvation by their own proclamation, or God decided who would attain salvation before they were born. The people who accept the errors of the men who strayed from what Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles taught, generally believe that Jesus came to save them, personally, and that the Scriptures of their choosing were written to them, individually.

The predecessors of the “ease of God” segment of mankind carved a path for the modern men who say they seek tangible gods, or no god, while actually worshiping utopian conditions of society and secular institutions as gods. Those who chose their own religion, instead of the religion that the Living God gave to us through His Holy Apostles and His continued Real Presence on earth in the Holy Eucharist, have created a labyrinth of expediency that changes the placement of its walls by altering the acceptable norms of morality and society.

This writing is of their history and of the oblations to their gods, coupled with a metaphorical backstory of which the reader can determine the credence.

A is for Adjective: An American English Encyclopedia to its Syntax and Grammar (B&W)

A is for Adjective is for ANY L1 (language one) or L2 (language two) speakers of the English language who might be in the process of wanting to learn more. This includes teachers and students alike, who may want to either study, teach, learn, or do simple research of it. The book is a type of encyclopedia that will compare and contrast the English language to Turkish and includes English-to-Turkish translations.

The book will start by exploring the history of both languages. In Unit One, it will explore the concepts of phonetics and phonology of the American English dialect at the primary level. Unit Two will then focus on the linguistic study of syntax at the primary level. This will include learning the nine lexical categories as well as understanding what phrases and phrase structure rules are, et cetera. Unit Three will then go on to cover the grammatical notions of contractions and wh-questions. Unit Four will finish the volume by bringing up the idea of tenses.

Unit Five, which begins Volume Two, will consist of nearly everything about English grammar. Unit Six will finish the volume by bringing up the linguist’s concept of affixation. Unit Seven aka Volume Three, for A is for Adjective, is a compendium of useful words, phrases, and expressions organized by category (e.g. foods and sports).

The goal of these books is to teach the English language, its grammar, and the sciences behind it. For some, having a supportive instructor might be needed. In the end, anyone who can comprehend the information from front to back will therefore become more aware of the language than that of the average speaking L1-native-English speaker. This is guaranteed.

To add a little more spice to their lives, how about then turning “Old Betsy” in for a camel caravan on to Ulan Bator as they travel with a nomadic family? Maybe throw in assorted Mongolian bandits as well as providing an insight into the lives of assorted Mafiosi. That is just for starters. You might have trouble putting this one down once you start it.

God’s Sovereign Reign Over His Creation

There have been many good books written on the subject of God’s sovereignty, but it always seems as if there are many questions left unanswered. For examples, If God is truly sovereign, why is the world in a state of spiritual confusion and darkness? Why is there sin, sickness, death, and even a devil? How do all these things work to fulfill the plans and purposes of God? There are many questions left unanswered, yet the answers are found in God’s Word. This book will reveal, from scripture, that God is absolutely sovereign, and bring light to many of these unanswered questions.
