THE BANANA REPUBLIC

When theology moves from spirituality to idolatry, the consequences are always the same, it is a regression into the void. Idolatry is the worship of the physical creation. The Second Commandment forbids the worship of the creature and yet when man rejects God’s law, he will automatically begin to worship what he can see with his physical eyes and not the one who has created the visible world. When a nation becomes idolatrous be assured that anything resembling intelligence has been jettisoned.

An idolater is incapable of understanding the law of cause and effect and yet God has established this world and governs this world on the basis of causality. Ethical cause and effect is the only way to make progress. An idolater is regressive. Idolaters are headed in one direction, death. Paul expressed such in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, "For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God." If God is true and living, then it follows that idols are dead and false.

Idolatry is dead and false, by definition. Any policy that is based on idolatry is false and leads to death. Debt is death. Savings is life. This is why capitalism is Christian based because Christianity is about life. God is life. Satan is death. Going in debt is the selling of your life. Paul wrote in Romans 13:8, "Owe no man anything..." Do not go into debt Paul is saying because to do so is to give away your life.

"Under the plan, GM would file for prearranged bankruptcy, the report said, and would then use a sale authorized under Section 363 of the U.S. bankruptcy code to sell off desirable assets to a new company financed by the government," is an article carried by Reuters on April Fool’s Day 2009. A new company financed by the government? Say what? This means that the government has nationalized the auto industry. This is what third world countries do, they nationalize their industries.

First of all, it is not a function of the government to lend money to any business. It is not the function of the government to finance and form a new company. The sole function of the government is law enforcement. Economics is out of bounds for the government with the exception of enforcement of contracts. The Obama administration is headed in the direction of death. Death to the dollar and all viable businesses. Propping up a money losing company like GM is the height of stupidity and is a bad investment.

What Obama does not understand about economics is that the consumer will ultimately decide whether or not GM stays in business. The law of supply and demand still operates no matter what the government seeks to do. Obama cannot overcome this law because it is established in the fabric of the creation. It is also spiritual and an idolater is hopeless to stop anything spiritual because they cannot see it. Welcome to the Banana Republic.
