Denying Temptation (Iniquity)
Positive Christianity Series Episode #386
"Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of GOD before his eyes."- Psalm 36: 1
GOD Almighty instructs us to keep to the path of life and avoid anything that tries to lead to the road of perdition. We know that the snake has counterfeit priests who do not want to help others and instead want to lead to socialism and occultism. We learn that we can avoid negative people who put down others in order to feel better about themselves. There are individuals that enjoy making others feel bad through insults and gaslighting. False prophets insult and revile in order to feel better about themselves. We can avoid such people who also want to lead to sorcery, lust, envy, and diminishment.
Jack Kerouac was such a person who instructed negativity and indiscipline while probably being an occultist. There have been individuals who have attempted to lead others astray from the path of life. We learn that there have been numerous individuals who have attempted to extol the "virtues" of socialism while somehow forgetting to enumerate the vices and destruction of socialism. This is because they are given temporary money and temporary pleasures in order to deceive, envy, and sabotage their bretheren.
"For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated."- Psalm 36: 2
Oscar Wilde was an individual that decided to promote vices in civil society. Wilde decided to write books on being fascetious, vain, and superficial while attacking virtues, being serious, and disciplined. Wilde was a deceiver using superficial charm to lead individuals to disobedience of the commandments of Moses. Wilde is popular with socialists since he popularized superficial charm and foolishness with his books and quotes. Wilde wrote The Importance of Being Earnest with the intention to popularize vanity and ridiculing goodness, empathy, and filial love. Wilde preferred to elevate egoism, fakeness, and appearances. Wilde's life describes how he cared about his appearance and invested much money in his look. He had expensive clothing and "witty" remarks that were meant to lead individuals far from the worship of GOD Almighty. Most of his remarks were inversions or twisting truth into favoring lies and deceit. Did all of this help Oscar Wilde? No! Did working for the snake help Oscar Wilde? No! Oscar Wilde was also envied by socialists who disdained his popularity despite working for the snake and socialism. Wilde is noted to have popularized superficiality and vanity. Yet, he was also hated by socialists. Wilde was envied for being the most popular socialist writer. Wilde was noted to be a socialist and also a homosexual.
Oscar Wilde also may have engaged in worse sin. Wilde would be devastated for his sins. Wilde decided to practice sin and idolatry through self-worship. He was famous in literature, yet his sin devastated him. It was noted that he was arrested for practicing homosexuality. He was placed in a prison and his health also began to decline severely. When in prison, his fake friendships did not help him. Oscar Wilde decided that he wanted to repent and convert to Christianity. It was probably around this time that Wilde wrote the Picture of Dorian Gray that describes how sin is deleterious. The book describes how a young individual decides to practice sin and does not age. However, he has a specific self-portrait that does age with each sin practiced. While the individual practices sin and idolatry, no one notices. His self-portrait does age and suffer the effects of sin. Eventually after some time, the character is suprised that he has not aged despite so much sin. He decides to look at his self-portrait, and when he sees himself he is appaled at how the self-portrait has aged. After looking at the real consequences of his sin in the self-portrait, the character perishes. The book is impressive since it describes how sin actually diminishes a person while the snake keeps "motivating" an individual to keep sinning. Oscar Wilde understood that sin is deceiving. His best work has to be the Picture of Dorian Gray for speaking truth after so much falseness in his other works. Wilde's health was severely affected because of lust and homosexuality, and he died at a relatively young age. (We hate sin and not the sinner. We also preach repentance of sin to prevent individuals from being deceived.) Despite his charm, Oscar Wilde diminished for leading individuals astray from the path of life. However, he did seem to acknowledge the truth about sin and attempted to speak truth. We can acknowledge that if socialists are not benefitted by socialism, then we should avoid socialists and socialism. Wilde saw the truth and completely changed his mind. We should guard ourselves from fake individuals who use fake charm.
(Prior to repenting, Wilde once said that men and women with integrity [from Christianity] where invariably plain (boring) describing how socialism lies. Figures of History and Individualism has shown that Christian men and women are impressive and never boring. May be Oscar Wilde was projecting deficits from socialism. Why do socialists gangstalk Christians?
(Fake charm is speaking lies to flatter others and manipulate them. Fake charm is not a true compliment because it is not meant to encourage but to manipulate. Counterfeit priests use fake charm and flattery to manipulate others into a false sense of fraternity. They also revile and insult since that is what they actually prefer. This is while they want to sabotage and destroy others. We can know the difference. A true Christian will never revile his bretheren because he acknowledges that revilings are not fun and are archaic. If we do not like to be insulted, why would we insult others? However, counterfeit priests actually do not have a conscience and think that they can revile without being reviled. (Ever noticed how socialists are easily offended when individuals revile them back. They hate justice and equality.) Also a real Christian does not use flattery because it is fake, seeks to manipulate, and is of the snake. We should avoid socialists who revile, flatter, and revile again all in a small conversation. They also hate that Christianity is spoken about in a positive sense. Socialists hate to talk about the true Mashiach. They resist, hate, and can not stand the truth. Their faces change and show their true self. They prefer to talk about appearances, fakeness, lies, deceit, and anything that is not the truth. Anything but the true Mashiach. Why is that? Because fakeness has nothing to do with sincerity and truth. They do not want to know about Yahshua Ha Mashiach, and we do not want to know about antichrist (since its all based on lies. Scripture tells us who antichrist really is and it is not Yahshuah. Not even close. So we avoid idolatrous occultists who hate the truth and prefer to be deceived.)
Learning Hebrew
Lo miramah, לא מרמה, means no deception and is a commandment. We learn that GOD Almighty tells us that we are not supposed to believe lies nor foment false information. We know that Scripture tells us to speak truth and avoid falsehoods. Oscar Wilde was a socialist yet realized that socialism did not benefit an individual. Oscar Wilde decided to speak truth in the Picture of Dorian Gray about how practicing sin diminishes and harms an individual. He also tried to convert to Christianity after he saw the effects of practicing iniquity.
Persevering With Motivation Amidst Not So Good Times
Enjoy Shabbath Rest! We can persevere with gratitude to GOD Almighty helping us persevere with unchanging fidelity (Psalm 50: 15, 23). We learn that fidelity is an important virtue that guarantees other virtues. There is nothing in this temporary and imperfect world that satisfies. Only the worship of GOD Almighty helps us have serenity and well being. We can persist with favor and blessings for choosing to practice integrity. There is the need to read and meditate on Scripture and listen to good Gospel music. Recently, been listening to worship music from Elvis Presley's Gospel recordings ("How Great Thou Art" and "His Hand In Mine") from the 1950s and Patsy Cline's Gospel songs. I had never heard their music before and their worship music is impressive.

- There is no God but GOD
You may talk about the men of Gideon.
You may talk about the men of Saul.
But there is no one like Joshua.
He is My Everything
After the lightning and thunder.
After the last bell has wrung.
I want to bow down before Yahshua.
I want to hear him say well done.
We can also avoid negative and idolatrous music that wants to instruct vices such as lust, intemperance, deceit, envy, disbelief, and hate. We also avoid socialist propaganda in lying books (i.e. On the Road and Things Fall Apart) and series (i.e. Breaking Bad is nihilistic, crime propaganda and Entourage shills fake "friendships" and fame). We can choose better content. There are amazing series and books about Christianity and Scripture.
