Minions of the masses
The minions of the masses
A minion is defined as "a follower or underling of a powerful person, especially a servile or unimportant one."
The Bible tells about a strong delusion[1] In order to deceive the masses of the world under a strong delusion there would need to be a process and minions to facilitate and maintain the delusion.
There would also be a process involving certain processes and policies that would counter the effects of the delusion. Philosophers, historians, and prophets for centuries have shared these process and their natural effects since the dawn mankind.
We will try to put their words of wisdom into modern terms to relate to practical practices that can be adopted by individuals and groups to overcome the ill effects of these ministers of misconception and their dissimulation of reality under a diverse or contrary deceptions, often by omission.
While the true message of Christ Jesus is key it is only valid if we look at the whole truth of His good news. To omit any part of the truth or His Gospel of the kingdom is to become the adversary of Christ and His Truth which should be the Truth.
That truth has always existed in natural law because God was the creator of that Nature. We should see these truth echoed in many philosophers, historians, and prophets but also the historical fruits of these process and practices.
Those minions dissimulating the misconceptions that become the dominate forces maintaining the lie by omitting a few basics elements of the whole truth and distracting the masses by drawing their attention away from particular practices through substitution and avoiding or alleviating the natural consequences.
People will see these minions of Satan as anointed minister of Christ. They are so deceptive that even the elect would think they are seen and praised as anointed by the Holy Spirit but the do not know Him.[2]
What are the "cares of this world"?[3]
The "care[4] of this world[5], and the deceitfulness of riches[6] , choke the word,"[7] just like the Corban of the Pharisees made the word of God to none effect.
2 John 1:5 "And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
Hebrews 3:13 "But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses."
The original question was "How can a pastor manage to lead five hundred people" the answer is he is not a "pastor" nor "shepherd" of Christ. He might talk about Jesus and quote scripture and claim to know scripture and Jesus but they are they are the blind guides so common among what is posing as Christians today.
Jesus warned us and them about those who would be minions of iniquity in Matthew 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
These false ministers will claim "No one denies God outlaws coveting." But of course that is the lie that has ushered in the Apostasy that has infected the minds and souls of the "masses" of the world.
"The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch."
Desiring free schools, health care, care for your parents by the government who will force the contributions of your neighbor is a covetous practice that Paul, Peter, John the Baptist, and Jesus... The people who don't want to see this are the "many" Jesus talked about.
Desiring benefits by forcing your neighbor to surrender what was his is coveting and qualifies as iniquity.
I show what Christ told the disciples. I know people don't say coveting is okay but they do covet as a matter of policy and practice.
The plan is in the Bible from beginning to end. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods." There is no acception by any prophet nor Jesus where it says you can covet what is your neighbor's if you do it through the governments of men that exercise authority. It is fact that Jesus and the Apostles say it is not to be that way with his followers. How can you provide for the needy of the Christian community without a network of charity which is what the early church clearly was being according to Acts and their daily ministration. A hundred years ago there was little social warfare through the government. Anyone who has eyes to see should get that simply from the scrptural text. The Pharisees could not because they were blind guides. http://preparingyou.com/wiki/The_way
"You rule of tens of tens is phony. I think you love to post your web pages more than anything else. I gave up reading them because they were so full of non-biblical claims."
"will he really know each of them by name given is work is to guard?"
Most of our loss of rights has been because of our covetous practices. http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Covetous_practices
There should be no social safety net provided by the government. All such "legal charity" systems by the state destroy the fabric of a free society by degenerating it's "social bonds". America originally provided almost all social services through true charity alone which is required if you desire to remain a free people.
A social safety net through governments provided by force or coercion actually degenerates the people and destroys the character of those they claim a desire to help. "Legal charity" through the state will degenerate the fabric of society required to maintain a free and viable nation. Neither of these debaters understand the problem enough to find the solution. http://preparingyou.com/wiki/Legal_charity
1 John 5:19 "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen."
