The Pharisaical Spirit
The American Thinker ^ | 4/19/20 | David Prentice

Posted on 04/19/2020 2:44:29 PM PDT by Lakeshark

Here is what Jesus says about the ruling class of his day. He said this after he entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, shortly after he overturned the tables of the money-changers:

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.”

There can be a spirit of ugliness that inhabits a ruling class, let’s call it pharisaical hardness. When that spirit of ugliness rears its head, it deserves confrontation -- Jesus made that quite clear. Today we face a set of groups that rival the hypocrisy, and yes, evils that were evident back then. Groups this low deserve to be called out loudly, aggressively, passionately. Because those who belong to them have become twice the spawn of hell as the ones who discipled them.

THE HARD-LEFT MEDIA

It’s not possible to say enough bad things about these people.
(snip)

THE CHARADE FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
(snip)
And I don’t mean just Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Although most are like her. Stupid, officious, sanctimonious, wielding power they should never have been given. It’s pretty typical that this silly fool of a poor pretense of a feminist governor has done what she has done.

She and her ilk will spark a very necessary second American Revolution.

She sure got a big crowd in Lansing last week. She is beyond clueless. There is a video of her saying because it was such bad weather, the things she has prohibited couldn't be done anyway.....(tone deaf)

I know a guy who wants her for plugs VP. I said, bring her on, she would be a perfect target with all the officious nonsense she has asked from the citizens of Michigan.

Joe needs to GO FOR IT!!! Nominating the Governor will not only increase the voting in Michigan, but surrounding midwestern States as well.

In conversation with church people who are sitting on a fence undecided about leaving the church they were raised in, their family have been members for generations and all ancestors are buried in the church yard. They are disillusioned because their national church hierarchy has joined the culture of the day and adopted the homosexual agenda and strayed far from their ancestral church. It is a decision thousand of good Christians have had to deal with - a tough decision.

I will often remind them Jesus faced the same problem with the Jewish leadership. The Pharisees and priests had taken the church away from the church of their ancestors. But, Jesus didn’t leave it. He remained a Jew throughout his earthly existence. Was that a lesson for us??I don’t know.

These lyrics say it all.

By far the most EVIL governor in the history of my state.

https://www.google.com/search?q=gretchen+whitmer&client=safari&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjelY_dz_ToAhUIVc0KHelmB88Q_AUoAnoECB0QBA&biw=1816&bih=914

Occasionally (not always) the camera captures the face of the psychopath, the cold zero compassion face.

Obama, Hillary, Manson, Khomeini, (former acquaintance Rick...in and out of jail prison...current acquaintance Ron). if that slips by or is not revealed go to the words. If they both slip by go to the deeds. If they all slip by you’re probably enslaved, raped or dead.

There is EVIL in this world. Millions of lives are being sacrificed to it. Witness events.

No call for investigation into root cause. No incontroveritble proof of root cause. No Nuremberg style trials. No destruction of L4 labs. No lab directors questioned. No protests around the labs. No heat from politicians, countries, intel agencies, U.N. No platform propagandists curious. Sweep, sweep until template is put into use again. 2020. Plausible deniability for any EVIL actors. See your enemies. All defense all the time.

Take care.

Wow. Thanks for the pics, I agree they show her for who she is, she's just awful.

A beautiful state with an evil governor. From an evil political party.
