If Anonymous X Accounts Are More Credible Than CNN…

 


If anonymous X accounts are becoming more influential than the likes of CNN, that is because they are showing themselves to be more credible than the mainstream manure pile and Brian Steltzer's claims of average SM users and influencers not substantiating their claims with research and lacking institutional knowledge is NOT entirely accurate, not in every case.  Granted that there are a lot of SM users who make unsubstantiated claims, there are still also a lot of SM users and influencers, both credentialed and uncredentialed, who do take the time to substantiate their claims so that their followers and potential followers are able to verify the claims presented to them for themselves.
 
No one really needs institutional knowledge to prove themselves credible but you DO need independent knowledge and what I mean by that is knowledge acquired independent of an academic institution or expert opinion and it is amazing what one, with or without a degree or Ph.D., can learn doing their own independent research. 
 
Sometimes, in the process of doing their own independent research on any given topic or subject, they end up learning a lot more than many teachers, seminarians, and college professors who remain dependent upon their academic and so-called accredited training without ever considering that what they have been taught and trained up in may be founded upon lies and in the process, end up poisoning the minds of their students with the same lies they themselves have been deceived by.
 
The use of discretion and discernment seems to be a lost art, or should I say, an art that is not practiced by most and so we have believed blindly anything that the news reporter, documentarian, teacher, professor, seminarian, professed experts in the fields of science and history, political leaders, and even religious leaders will tell us taking the lies and falsehoods that are propagated as truth and though granted that I have been skeptical of the Qanon movement, if there has been any good to come of it, it would be that it has taught us and shown us that we cannot place full trust in anything or anyone for that matter because every institution in which we might place our trust and every influential and authoritative figure to whom we might look is subject to error and corruption as those influential and authoritative figures in whom we might place our trust are subject to error and corruption themselves and the institutions that we have relied upon to maintain societal stability and to direct the course of our nation are built and operated by errant and corruptible people and in order for us to be able to place our full unquestioning trust in any man or any institution, such people and such institutions would have to be incorruptible and inerrant themselves, and such person and institutions cannot be found and what may seem to us a benefit to us and serve our best interests one day can be turned against us the next and what may appear to lead us in the right ways can just as easily lead us astray and from the same mouths that speak truth can also come forth lies.
 
Even the most honest and most well-meaning and well-intended of us and establishments can fail and disappoint us from time to time and fall short of what we had hoped of them as the people in whom we place our trust and the institutions and establishments we lean on for guidance are just as fallible, corruptible, and errant as any of us because there is one thing we all have in common: We are all born with an inherently corrupt nature that has been passed down to us from the first man Adam and the first woman Eve, Adam’s wife, whom God had created, but when God created them, they were not created with an inwardly corrupt nature, but rather they were created in a state of purity and goodness, just as God created everything else to be good until one day lies, in the form of a serpent entered into that good world and that serpent who became known as the father of lies, (Jn. 8:44) before he became the father of lies, was among the angelic host in Heaven and more specifically, he served as a covering Cherub before the throne of God before his pride and arrogance led him to think that he could be equal to God and even like God and when he attempted to make himself like God, he and all who sided with him were cast from their positions in Heaven (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19) and it was at this point that this fallen angel who had been called Lucifer then became known and better known as Satan or the Devil and it was he who crept into the newly formed earth in the form of a serpent and caused the first man Adam and Eve, the first woman and who was also Adam’s wife, to do the one thing they were warned of God not to do.
 
There was a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil whose fruit Adam and Eve were told not to eat, having been warned that in the day that they ate thereof, they would surely die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) but instead of heeding that warning, they instead chose to listen to the voice of the serpent who, in his deceit, falsely assured them that they would not die as they had been warned, but that in the day that they ate the fruit, they would become divine and be given divine wisdom (Gen. 3:4-5) and after they had eaten of that forbidden fruit, instead of becoming more wise and gaining more knowledge, the only thing they had received was the shame of their nakedness (v. 7) and instead of becoming divine, they were reduced to a status inferior to the one in which they were created, and the sentence of death was pronounced upon them as they had been warned (Gen. 3:19) but the consequences of their transgression did not stop with them because the sin that entered into Adam and Eve was then passed down to all of mankind because it is from Adam and Eve from whom all of mankind descend (Rom. 5:12) but the sin that entered into man and into which he is born is not merely bad actions or ill-spoken words, but it is a corruption that resides within all of us; (Mt. 15:11, 17-20) a corruption of human nature itself that produces within us and causes us to do by nature that which is contrary to how God intended for us to be with death being the result for all of us because it is sin that brings forth death (Rom. 6:23) and since all people sin in some form or fashion, all die and because of that fateful transgression committed by Adam and Eve, we are all subject to both a sinful corrupt nature which in turns brings death to us but not only we ourselves but because of sin, all of creation itself is subject to pain and turmoil to this present day (Rom. 8:19-22) which is why the world as we know it is subject to the suffering, pain, turmoil, evil, violence, and destruction that we witness and experience today; all because Adam and Eve were led to believe that they were going to receive even greater things if they ate of that forbidden fruit but instead of receiving better than what they had, they were subjugated to a slavery that they had never anticipated; a slavery to sin and death and not only they themselves but all of mankind as well because we are all born into sin and we are all subject to death and furthermore, the disobedience of Adam and Eve caused the dominion once given to man (Gen. 1:26) to be diminished and gave Satan justification to claim lordship over the kingdoms and nations of the world (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why he is called the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) and he attained lordship over the kingdoms and nations of the world by a lie and the lie he told Adam and Eve was that they would not die but that if they ate of the fruit forbidden to them, that they would become as gods knowing good from evil and it is this very lie that earned Satan the title of being the father of lies (Jn. 8:44) for it is that very lie that is the first recorded lie ever known to man and it is by this lie that Satan caused man to commit the very transgression that caused sin to enter into him and inwardly corrupt him which then brought upon him the sentence of death, thereby making Satan a murderer (v. 44) and which also brought a curse upon all of creation that has subjugated it to every kind of evil and suffering that there ever has been and ever could be, which is why he is called a destroyer (Jn. 10:10) and by which he stole the dominion from mankind thus making him a thief (Jn. 10:10) and a thief that comes to steal kill and destroy (v. 10) to this very day, but Satan is not just a murderer of our bodies and a destroyer of creation itself, but he is also a destroyer of souls because worst of all, the transgression that Satan caused Adam and Eve to commit has caused everyone to be born estranged from their Creator because of the sin that entered into them and then was inherited by all of us.
 
And it is because of the love and mercy of God that He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and the Lord God Almighty has provided us with a redemptive solution to save us from that everlasting condemnation that sin subjugates us to and He has provided that solution in the only One who has known no sin and in whom there is no sin and (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) and that is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who came into this world to take away the sins of the world and being without sin, He was able to be that perfect sacrifice (Heb. 7:26-27) needed to take away the sins of the world which He did by the shedding of His blood upon the cross on which He was crucified and after having purchased our redemption by His death, was raised from the dead so that we, by our faith in Him would be justified in Him (Rom. 4:25) so that anyone calling upon His name for the forgiveness of sins may be saved from what would otherwise be an everlasting unrelenting torment in the fires and darkness of Hell (Rom. 10:13) and with the removal of our sins comes reconciliation to our Creator (2 Cor. 5:18) who then comes to make His dwelling inside of us by way of His Holy Spirit which then instills in us a new nature (2 Cor. 5:17) that makes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty, (Jn. 14:6) no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, (Mt. 6:33) recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God,
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
 
Satan’s power and dominion have always been built upon lies and what he first enslaves is not the economy, academia, the private sector, media, entertainment industry, or even the government, but what he first takes captive is the mind, heart, and then the soul and he often uses influential and authoritative figures in government, academia, and the media to propagate his lies and to suppress anything that might challenge and discredit his lies and the fact that an increasing number of people are now no longer seeing the mainstream manure pile as being credible, can no longer trust their government, question the truthfulness of what they are being taught by the academics, and subject so-called experts in various fields to the same level of scrutiny that they do political and even religious leaders, it is a blow to the kingdom of darkness as it then makes way for the truth by which freedom begins to be presented to those who doubt and reject the lies that they had once thought to be truth, for if it was by lies upon which Satan has built his dominion, then it is by truth the dominion of liberty begins and the truth by which liberty begins is that truth that does not begin from without, but begins from within because the freedom that it brings is spiritual and the reason why it must begin in the spirit is because that is where the tyranny of Satan and the kingdom of darkness began, but when enough people are made free spiritually, everything else by nature will fall into place but Satan fights and still continues to fight against that very truth by which any who receive it are set free (Jn. 8:32) and by which men are transformed into persons better than what they had been before they came to repentance, and by which men are liberated from what would otherwise be an unimaginable unrelenting punishment filled with nothing more than an ongoing torment from which there is no relief and he does so by blinding men to that truth through various falsehoods, lies, and deceptions, and by hiding and suppressing anything that might lead men to that very truth that sets us free from sin, hell, and eventually death itself, and by hardening hearts intent on leading as many to destruction and eternal damnation as he possibly can.
 
And what is this truth that Satan wars against?  The Gospel of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ which offers redemption and transformation to any who are willing to receive it.  That is what that truth is because when Christ enters into us, our souls are cleansed from sin, His light dwells in us, we are more enlightened than we were before we came to Christ, and if we are made to be more wiser, insightful, and more educated than the teachers, professors, seminarians, leaders, media figures, influencers, and authoritative experts in whom the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) would have us place our trust in, it is only due to the enlightenment that we receive from our Creator and Redeemer, for as it is written, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, (Ps. 111:10) and knowledge (Prov. 1:7) and it is not but by God alone that the minds and hearts of any are able to be liberated from the lies and falsehoods by which they have been poisoned by the very institutions and establishments in whom they have placed their trust for it is Satan who blinds, withholds, and suppresses, but it is God who reveals, enlightens, and opens the eyes of the spiritually blind that they might see the very truth that can set them free; free from despair, free from a meaningless life, and free from eternal damnation, and just as we are made spiritually free in Christ, so one day, we will also be made free from bodily death when our current bodies in which sin dwells are changed into bodies in which dwells no sin (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) for where there is no sin, there is no death and that in which sin does no dwell is no longer subject to death and then afterwards, Satan who has done all that he can in his power suppress any and all things that might lead men to repentance in Christ Jesus will be cast out of this world and his dominion over it ended (Rev. 20:1-3) and when he is cast out, he, and all who have sided with him will face their final defeat when they are all given their final sentences (Rev. 20:10-15) and then after that, creation itself will be liberated from the curse that came upon it due to sin when it is made anew and in that new world, there  will be no death, no decay, nor any pain, nor any hardship, no oppression, no misery, no cruelty, no despair, or any grief for all of these things will have passed away with the old corrupted creation, but instead in this new and undefiled creation, there will only be life, light, goodness, happiness, joy, peace, and contentment before the Lord God Almighty. (Rev. 21-22)
 
If you have become disillusioned with the status quo and with all the things of this present life in which you once placed your trust and if you feel a sense of betrayal by the establishments and institutions to which you once looked for guidance and have not done so already, then I urge you reader to call upon the name of Christ Jesus who is faithful in keeping His promises (Heb. 10:23) and will never fail you and will always lead you in the way of truth.  It is but a sincere prayer of repentance away:
 
 
 
"Lord Jesus I need you.
 
 
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
 
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
 
 
Amen."
 
 
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
