There is so much ink spilled by writers taking on big topics they know nothing about. One of them is the falling life expectancy in the U.S.

What's causing it? Liberals go on and on about universal health care. If doctors weren't so expensive people would see one sooner. Then there are the so-called income and race "variables." They go on about how poor people and Negroes die sooner and how terrible that is supposed to be.

Never do they mention that God causes early deaths. Nor do they explain WHY God has people die sooner. People die earlier because they sin. Less sin, longer lives. That's the deal we have with God.

Think about how many times in the last week you have seen on TV read about a homer. My guess is many times. This sin is why God is taking out his revenge. Skip the homerism, live longer.

Clearly they need to remove blacks and Mexicans from the statistics, that bumps it up a bit. Of the remaining whites, also excise the unemployed and the homeless. There, we will have arrived at a higher life expectancy that is more relevant because it only counts relevant people.

Many of them are Darwinists. Wouldn't they think healthy, viable populations resulted from the non-viables dying off and therefore not breeding? Or maybe breeding ever more degenerate types until the whole lot went extinct? Survivors of that arduous process over millions of years (between 1 and 3 for humans) these writers would opine, suffer when non-viable strains migrate into viable populations importing and persisting with the very mechanisms of misery they sought to escape, wherever they came from. Averaged out then, across a whole population misery increases.

Life expectancy craters.

Wonder if it might have something to do with 77% of the population being injected with a dangerous experimental drug of unknown origin that rewrites their genetic code to turn cells into factories for a toxic spike protein that attacks vital organs…

…nah, couldn’t be that. Must be Trump’s fault somehow.

The Christian research company, Barna Group, often publishes data on how many young people are leaving the faith. So, you have to ask yourself, why are they leaving? The only answer is they are leaving because they want to sin even more. Sin increases, the death rate rises. God knows what he is doing.

God loved us enough to leave some things for us to work out for ourselves and this is a good example. Although the mechanism involved was not described in detail, the transmission route is explained quite well right there in the very first chapters of His Life Handbook.

First came disobedience.

Genesis 3
3a Of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden
3b God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it …
6a And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food …
6d she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat

Immediately followed by inveigling.

6e and gave also unto her husband with her
6f and he did eat.

Satan was in his oil tot. Can you imagine him chirruping and running around in circles and flapping his arms and jumping up and down? He'd have to conceal this from Eve of course so she didn't get suspicious and not pass the stuff on to Adam. Everything was affected by this. God is very clear about WHAT happened and WHY it happened because that was of immediate importance. How it was effected He left for us to work out: it's a less pressing question after all: first though there's our very first example of the Socratic method.

God's interrogatory.

Genesis 3
13a And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?
13b And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

The wages of sin. A: The serpent

14a And the LORD God said unto the serpent
14b Because thou hast done this
14c thou art cursed above all cattle
14d and above every beast of the field
14e upon thy belly shalt thou go
14f and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life

The wages of sin. B: The woman

16a Unto the woman he said
16b I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception
16c in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children
16d and thy desire shall be to thy husband
16e and he shall rule over thee.

The wages of sin. C: Adam

17a And unto Adam he said
17b Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife …
17d cursed is the ground for thy sake
17e in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
18a Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee
18b and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
19a In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground
19b for out of it wast thou taken
19c for dust thou art
19d and unto dust shalt thou return.

In my last post we saw multiple layers of wrongdoing and outcomes. The serpent transmitted an idea to the woman and as a result was deprived of its means of locomotion. God hasn't told us what that was – but we can see what it is now. Fortunately these wretches have also lost the power of speech. Here the means of transmission was vibration of the air, initiated by the serpent's tone generating system* whatever it was, something we now know but which was immaterial at the time.

The next layer is transmission from the woman to Adam and how she got him to do something like that is anyone's guess. He became infected due to a very specific sin which God spelled out in Genesis 3:17b just so we wouldn't start making stuff up for some nefarious purpose. An example of that would be new-age crystal propaganda claiming the whole Genesis account is metaphor, describing an ancient era when men did not know how babies were generated. There was no writing but women had developed language skills (due to social arrangements) and could initiate fertility orgies, acting as high priestesses. There would be plenty of toadstools and/or cactus (depending on location) anyway, eventually there was a quantum leap sideways when language became universal (hunters would have used sign language though) and stone clubs were invented. Witches promoting this say Eve was those women and Adam was all the men. Eve's seduction cult was over and her husband ruled, once the penny dropped about babies. Obviously witches would like to return to the earlier system.

Transmission from Adam to plants. God told us why it happened, that was all we needed to know. But clearly their genetic code was rewritten and inside those plants, thorns and poisons continue to be generated. Just like Virginia Day Templeton described.

*
possibilities include
• a larynx (like a goat)

• an oscillating membrane (e.g. frog)

• rubbing its legs together (or wings) (cricket) 

• whistling (walnut sphinx caterpillar)

• novel apparatus unique to pre-Fall serpents

[MitzaLizalor]

I Corinthians 15
21a For since by man came death
21b by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22a For as in Adam all die
22b even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Finally, the transmission FROM ADAM to everyone else. Something important passes out of Adam, the genetic transformation imported from the woman, bequeathed to every human except Jesus. He didn't have a human father so didn't get the sin venom and therefore is equipped to counteract it. It didn't get into Him from Mary because nothing passed out of her to generate Baby Jesus and nothing flooded into her.

Just like those innocuous plants became spiked or deadly, a direct result of Adam's vileness, just as every baby is ruined from conception, so the experiment continues. Satan, now without legs, cooks up dangerous experimental drugs to rewrite genetic codes, turning cells into factories for toxic spikes.

Now we even know HOW it happens.

God periodically cleanses the Earth of sinners. Sometimes with a great flood. Other times through famines. In His typically benevolent fashion, He is slowly reducing sinners lifespan so as to make the body count manageable.
I could just imagine the smell if we had another flood and the ensuing reek of all the dead sinners washing ashore.


There are True Christians™ I have known all my life and God has not had to kill a single one.


When bad people die off and the Saved® get to watch, we are given the gift of righteous glory.

Well said, Brother Hutchings. When these statistics about a lower life expectancy stated coming out it was a time of thanksgiving for we True Christians™. We understand God's purposes. Like Noah, can look forward to a life of fellowship without disgusting sinners.

[MitzaLizalor]

I'd never thought about the smell before. When evil starts up, that incense stuff coming out of shops selling tarot cards and special magic amethyst for instance, the wafting is pretty revolting. Amethyst is still an attractive mineral but something's been overlaid to make it ugly.

Death did not exist before Eve existed, therefore no insect could prefer the aroma of corpses and be attracted to stinking flowers, to pollenate them. Here are some demon-possessed flowers.

God made MODEST apparel from leather Genesis 3:21 definitely NOT minimalistic loincloths but full-sized garments. Did a random impala or giraffe get slaughtered for the purpose? Once sin blasted everything, creatures would start dropping dead very quickly if their new reduced lifespans were compared to how long they'd otherwise exist for as a percentage. I doubt that God skinned a ruminant alive and left it there squirming – but anyway, after The Fall there would be carrion and a stench would have descended on Eden all the way from decomposing mice to rotting mastodons.

At the present rate, life expectancies will soon reach zero and God can incinerate everything. Those still living will be burned alive.

II Peter 3:5-7 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Albert Mohler is President of one of the Southern Baptist Seminaries. We at Landover Baptist find Southern Baptists a little too liberal but they are Baptist Brothers in Christ.

Rev. Mohler made a good point recently. He said Christians do not take sin seriously. If Christians really wanted to eliminate sin, or cut down on the sin in our country, they would support laws against all the various sins that are commonly committed. We need to support Rev. Mohler and make these sins illegal. Those who sin must go to jail.

Mohler was talking about a specific sin, his favorite, abortion. He wants women who get abortions to be jailed. There are other serious sins, of course. All of us at Landover Baptist have a long list. We need to get busy drafting the anti sin legislation we want and start selecting legislators who will support us.

I'm not certain I support abortion as the number one sin as does Mohler. Homerism seems more serious. Blasphemy is a bigger than abortion. There is harlotry. We can have discussions about which we will kill first, but we need to unite is the effort to control sin by law.

Mohler and the abortion abolitionists don't take sin seriously enough (religionnews.com)

The link contains a number of remedies for abortion-seekers that we must consider. For example, perhaps one of our own posted in the comment section “both parents should die.”

This would solve one problem but on the other hand would not address the problem of falling life expectancy, nor the declining Church attendance figures.

[D]ata from the Southern Baptist’s own research arm indicates that many women in the church who have had abortions (7 in 10 women who have had abortions identify as Christian) find a lack of grace and support from the church. It has also been reported that 1 in 3 women who attend a Southern Baptist church have had an abortion.

Landover Baptist could easily replace 1/3 of members if they were to be marched into the parking lot and executed but the Southern Baptists (spit) would have difficulty absorbing the attrition. I'm prepared to wait just a little longer to see if our loving pro-life movement can come up with an alternate plan. If not, I would be OK going forward with execution - public stoning, burning at the stake or crucifiction, pick your preferred method.

A good house cleaning gets rid of unhealthy dust and germs. A execution-style housecleaning in Christianity would make those of us who remain safer.

Purging bad guys leaves only the good guys. To take a historical example, where would Russia be without systematic extermination of the ideologically impure? Today it is a beacon of Christian values. We as a society could take some lessons from Russia.
