The godfathers _If I only had time

I like , very very much:The Godfathers - If I only had time - on EPIC, 1988.






Today a new sun rises
Look in the mirror there's no surprises
Things ain't what they used to be
Cary Grant's on L.S.D
If I only had time
I'd think of the perfect crime
If I only had time
I'd think of the perfect crime
It's the only way to be
From here to eternity
Things ain't what they used to be
We're living under a false economy
If I only had time
I'd think of the perfect crime
If I only had time
I'd think of the perfect crime
A million mums are hooked on valium
And you should see what you have done to them
Things ain't what they used to be
A generation raised on poverty
If I only had time
I'd think of the perfect crime
If I only had time
I'd think of the perfect crime
Time

VALUES FROM THE BIBLE

As you know, anthropology is the study of human beings and where they came from. As a scientific discipline, it has been led for decades by people with evolutionary presuppositions. There are many people within Christian churches – including many pastors – who do not think it matters what we believe about how human beings got here. What matters is the value that we place on humanity today.
The problem with such an attitude is that we need to know where our values come from. An atheist evolutionist can be understood when they believe that human life does not essentially have greater worth than that of an animal. After all, if we evolved from animals, we are basically the same as them.  If our pet cat gives birth to too many kittens, we might not be too uncomfortable in disposing of the excess number of kittens, and so it should not be any more of a problem for us to do the same with babies. The reason why Christians – including those who believe in evolution – tend to find such comparisons abhorrent is because we get our values from the Bible.
But the Bible makes clear that our value as human beings is derived from our special creation. Genesis tells us that God simply spoke the animals into existence, but Adam was personally formed by God, who breathed into him to make him into a living spirit. Mankind is made imago dei – in the image of God. This level of value exists because Genesis speaks the literal truth about how humanity came to be.

EUROPEAN AMBIGUITIES

European ambiguities,from page 1279 of TRAGEDY AND HOPE by Carroll Quigley:

"For this reason, the chief impression the visiting American brings back from Europe is one of grasping materialism and exagerated individualism.This is a spirit akin to america of the 1920's rather than of 1950's.It is found, with a variety of emphasis, among the peasants, the workers, and even the aristocracy as well as among the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoise, where we expect it.It is combined with antagonism between classes and groups that is rare in America (except among the petty bourgeoisie).The middle class adolescent revolt is rarer  and much harsher in Europe, shot trough with element of hatred, where in america is shot trough with elements of indscriminate loving.And in Europe, the selfishness and general bitchiness of middle-class girl is much greater than in United states, probably because the stronger male-dominant tradition of Europe Leaves them less self-esteem, and lower personal evaluation.As an example of the diversity of Europe, we should say that this last remark is more true of Southern Europe than of Northern Europe, and largerly untrue of England. Infact, most generalizations about Europe do not apply to England at all."

THE BIBLE AND ECONOMICS

The Bible And Economics

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. — 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Do you dread going to work or tending house, viewing labor as a curse on your life because of the Fall? Well, it isn’t. Before sin ever touched this earth, God commanded Adam to tend the garden. God created us to have meaningful employment and to earn our keep. And He created a context in which we could live and prosper. God reveals that context in His Word. While the Bible isn’t an economics textbook, it does say a great deal about how we can thrive. The Bible says that if a person does not work, that person shall not eat. (Of course, this principle doesn’t refer to a person unable to work.) The Eighth Commandment, “Thou shalt not steal,” makes it clear that we can own property, ruling out certain economic systems such as communism. In fact, I believe free enterprise is a biblical principle. Most people didn’t understand this until 1776, when Adam Smith wrote his famous book on economics, The Wealth of Nations. This book sparked the worldwide spread of capitalism. Before that time, most people lived a hand-to-mouth existence, spending about ninety percent of their income on food. But between 1800 and 1850, wages quadrupled as people pursued scriptural economic principles, and from 1850 to 1900, wages quadrupled again. This was especially true in America, where free enterprise had its freest reign. But in this century, we’ve turned from some of those biblical principles. A misapplication of the concepts of justice and charity have created in our nation “social justice” (in other words, welfare). Public welfare is neither just nor charitable, because it forcibly takes money from one person and gives it to another. Public welfare also tempts people to take advantage of public money and to fight for as much of it as they can get. It destroys private charity and creates vice and laziness. I challenge you to apply biblical principles of economics in your life and to cultivate a responsible work ethic. Resolve today that whatever task comes your way, you’ll work for God’s honor and glory. As you do, He will bless you for your obedience. America will last until the populace discovers it can vote for itself largess [gifts or handouts] out of the public treasury. — ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE courtesy:  djameskennedy.org
