Once upon a time a “moderate” drinker asked a “teetotaller” why he was against the public sale of liquor, anywhere. He said, “I have five reasons.” When asked to name them, he said, “Two boys and three girls.” It was a Faggoty-Frisco-Fairy Fruit, from Athen’s intellectual Disneyworld, who first said that he was not a citizen of Athens—so he could practise Sodomy there without being arrested— but a “citizen of the world.” Many years later, after this sex pervert committed suicide (while sac rificing a rooster to a snake god), another great teacher of men said, “I am not of the world” (John 17:16). He also said that His kingdom was “not of this world” (John 18:36) and His follow ers were “not of this world” (John 17:16). His “beloved disciple” (John 21:20) said that every thing in the world system was either the “lust of the eyes” or “the lust of the flesh” or “the pride of life” (1 John 2:16). The only New Testament Christian (named) who “loved” the world (2 Tim. 4:10) defected from these commandments, after being told to “set his affections on things above and not on things on this earth.” That backslidden defector could well represent more than 500,000,000 professing Chris tians, today, who live on a planet, whose future is to be BURNED TO A CINDER (2 Pet. 3; Isa. 65). The Laodicean church period of Christianity (1900-1990) is characterized by worldly, earthly, materialistic, secular humanism, in all branches of its “outreach.” Nothing is more carnal and worldly than a Charismatic “revival” unless it is a Pope trying to “make time” with geopolitics in the UN. The Charismatic completely covers up his extrava gant, fleshy sideshows with TALK about the Holy Ghost, and the “anointing of the Spirit,” and being “slain in the Spirit”; but anyone who has studied the movement since 1901 (Azusa Street and To peka, Kansas) knows that it is about as “spiritual” as Ted Kennedy praying for Madonna. This condemned world is the HOME of every lost sinner alive: it is the only home he has, or ever will have, here, as long as he is “alone in the world,” having no “hope” and “without God” (Eph. 2:12), since he is “dead in trespasses and sin” and is as spiritually blind (2 Cor. 4:4) as Mother Teresa, Slick Willie, Hillary Clinton, JFK, FDR, Adolph Hitler, Pope John Paul II, Jeannie Paul Getty, Jack the Ripper, Allen Dulles, Gerry Adams, the Son of Sam, “Lady” Di, Charles Man- son, or Nelson Mandela. No highly publicized major leader in art, mu sic, politics, education, religion, or economics would ever be caught “dead” singing “This world
