- Dr. Keyes,
-
- Please accept my commendation for sticking to
your guns, speaking pointedly, with an unrelenting pursuit of the
truth, and direct answers to your important questions. You are slowly
peeling away the decades of lies, the layers of facades masking the
evildoers, and exposing the killers' true, ugly faces. I sincerely
hope our continuous web and print publication of your remarks and
philosophy will generate growing viewership for your essential format.
-
- Considering recent events, this whole lock
horn debate between Israel and the murderous Palestinians is rooted in
a very basic error, one which the media has not yet touched upon. I
refer to "Church and state". Thankfully, separation of
church and state is not followed by many of us here, as we pledge
"...one nation under God..." Separation of church and state
is illogical and wrong, for a country cannot propose a set of ideals -
calling them "objective truths" - without a valid definition
of "objective".
-
- What determines "objective"
morality?
-
- Without the proof of God's plan for man - the
singular Bible system given at Sinai 3314 years ago - there is no
means for validating one morality over another. The demonstrable proof
of the event at Sinai outlined "objective good", and
"objective evil". The proof of that event is the same proof
which exists for all historical events - it was attended by masses,
and it manifested easily perceptible phenomena. These two elements
rule out fabrication and ignorance respectively, thereby leaving only
one possibility - the event transpired, and God indeed gave man a
singular system for life. With that historically proven event, the
Bible and God's will for man are simultaneously, undoubtedly proven.
As an event proven 100% true, accompanied by the divine text of the
Bible, God's system then becomes the singular, objective system of
truth, justice and morality.
-
- Just as we adhere to medical practices proven
successful, so also the Bible must be adhered to, since it too was
proven. By force of reason - our only means of function - we must
remain consistent in our thinking, using the exact same methodology of
"proof" as is engaged by science. Religion operates no
differently than science. Both are creations of the Creator. The same
depth of knowledge, the same precision and rationality are woven into
both. It is foolish and inconsistent to think otherwise.
-
- But perhaps politicians fear marring their
political image by incorporating words like "religion",
"God", or "Bible" into their platform. Perhaps
they fear being labeled "religious fanatic", or less, they
fear jeopardizing their lofty posts. For a true leader, one who
desires the ultimate good for his fellow man, reason must be his only
guide. Reason dictates we study God's plan for man. The Creator of the
universe, the Creator of mankind surely knows better than a lowly
human what is best for His creation, for man. Any political platform
devoid of God's knowledge imparted through His system of truths - the
Bible - is a path based on man's feeble and warped mind. Surely God
related to man a far superior plan. Surely the world's Designer
informed man of the only accurate, undiluted, undistorted knowledge
base required for mankind to approach all areas of life - including
national issues.
-
- To determine what is good for mankind - now
more than ever - we must engage rationale to prove what God's plan is
for man.
-
- If we wish objective good for all mankind,
inviting God's into the peace talks with the right participants must
no longer be avoided. If we leave Him out, such a grave distortion
will hasten more bin-Ladens and Arafats, and their freedom to kill.
