”

‘Twas the night before the Happy Holiday (formerly known as Christmas) when with much fanfare, the 21st Century Herod and his advisers bitterly proclaimed thus:
“This baby, the so-called “Prince of Peace” is a Nazi, racist, and homophobic bigot. We deem him a threat to our “happy holidays”, all “religions of peace,” our entitlements, and the glorious goals of our perpetual revolution. We, the protected minority. We, the ruling class therefore command that all male Hebrew children be killed. Our dominion, our choice.”
With that they called in their keyboard warriors, social media trolls and paramilitary “peaceful protestors”, saying:
“The Christ child’s birth is nothing but a conservative, bourgeois conspiracy, comrades! According to our Intersectionality rubric, He is violence against everything we stand for, which is surely justification enough for our violent suppression.”
Legacy media, obeying the script handed to them, ran headlines demonising the Christ child. Crying in well-funded unison they whined,
“His existence as an outright repressive assault on everything we’ve built; everything we want people to believe in.”
The Bethlehem Times produced article after article arguing that this birth was,
“blasphemy against the State and that it must not go unpunished. We’ve heard of the academics; how three bourgeoisie wise-men cheated us. Traitors to our glorious academic-industrial complex, all of them!! Therefore, any who refuse to give up this child’s location should be tried and tortured; and treated like the vermin, we say they are.”
The Herodian News Network anchors ran wall-to-wall panels, with repeated 24/7 coverage, saying,
“It’s their kind that hinders us from completely implementing the tolerant and inclusive ways of our glorious leaders. The way of our glorious revolution. This child, the “Prince of peace” is a threat! He challenges us, our religion of peace, and our people. He must be found and executed!”
Celebrities even weighed in posting impromptu sing-a-longs imagining there was no heaven, stating,
“Comrades, you know that ‘State power must be exercised in all spheres, even in that of thought! For what we do is for the good of the people, we know what’s best for them, better than they know themselves.”’ 1
Academics took to Twitter hashtagging in anger that their
“tenured collective’s survival rested on their egos and ideas dominating the higher ground in the hearts of the people. God would never come as a cisgender man! The future is female! Cancel the bigots who disagree!”
“I concur!” said another.

“This birth represents heteronormative oppression. We must rally people to take up arms against it. He who says that God became man is guilty of hatred towards women. It is said that the husband, one carpenter by the name of Joseph, has wed this woman, Mary, under strange circumstances. As it has been told to us, this Joseph is said to have been given the task of caring for the child by Angels. This only reinforces the evils of patriarchy. It will perpetuate the lies that claim healthy child-rearing at its best, involves both a man and a woman; a father and a mother. This heteronormative oppression MUST be stopped! We must cancel this Christ-child!”
I have an idea, boasted yet another,
“We’ll paint this cisgender male Christ-child, and the nativity scene itself, as evil; constructed to further the chains of bigoted societal norms.”
Blue tick accounts on social media piled on, frantically sharing and resharing that,
“The birth of the “Prince of Peace” threatens our control over what we say is peace; We must have war! War is peace! These ‘Christ-child’ breeders are an assault on ALL humanity. The State alone is the peace bringer. The State alone is the saviour of the people.”
Herod and his bureaucrats, sensing some quick political gain, sent their support, declaring:
Advertisement
“At the heart of this child there is a war on peace! He will stand against our truth and its phobic misrepresentations. He will not be easy to control through our mass propaganda and He will unhinge progress.”
Scientists fell in line justifying the murderous “peaceful protest” against the Christ-Child as “the betterment of humanity.”
Expert after expert filed peer reviewed papers claiming that this “Christ-child was anti-science.” That in order to do science, science mustn’t be questioned. “All must believe the science.”
Feminists staged a women’s march and rose up in their thousands, demanding that Mary be brought to heel by Herod’s men in charge, chanting:
“Hell, yes! Hell, yes! How dare this woman choose to keep her unexpected pregnancy! Worst of all, she claims to have been chosen by God! Send her to Planned Parenthood, where she’ll be re-educated in feminist healthcare and women’s rights! That child must not be allowed to live!”
Others screamed:
“How dare she stand against us and think for herself. This must not go unpunished! Think of the women who might follow her and keep the child?”
Still more, applauding the “peaceful protest” against the “Prince of Peace” cried out,
“Love is love! Her convictions and religious beliefs are phobic, sexist, and irrational. This woman’s pregnancy and the prophecy attached to it is a farce, therefore this child’s life should be deemed not worthy of life.”
Members of the judicial community, waving their flags of virtue, also chimed in gaslighting Mary claiming she was to be held to blame for Herod’s bloodletting.
“It’s perfectly just. We cannot be to blame; we wouldn’t have had to act as we have if Mary had been willing to treat the child as a sexually transmitted disease and remove it. Thus, we decree that Mary is to wear the blame. This woman has forced Herod’s hand.”
Herod, buoyed by the support, wrote into law that,
“the decision was unanimous. Therefore, let nothing sway you.”
His soldiers were to wipe out all males up to the age of two. Making certain that the Christ-child was eliminated.
Not to be left out, the approved opposition among Herod’s theologians and poets lined the pavements with salutes, arguing that Herod was showing
“great compassion. His ridding the State of this Christ-child was the liberation of his people. His chosen course was the only socially just action he could take. The birth of the Prince of peace; the Son of God, and its proclamation before everyday people would inspire ignorance, non-conformism and counter-cultural activists into disobedience. Zealots will rise. Worst of all it will inspire unity and solidarity amongst those we seek to control for their own benefit.”
The poets and theologians then sang,
“Only Herod could be called King. Only the State and the glorious leaders of the revolution can be called saviour! There can be no other!”
Herod, whose preferred pronouns were he/him, then proclaimed,
“Then let it be made known that all who disagree with us are traitors, haters and infidels! Anyone not thinking along with us is against us.” “We’re told that the prophecy of Isaiah has been fulfilled, that this child is a saviour.” “But the quiet proclamation announcing the birth of a Jew; a baby boy from Judea is ethnocentric; it’s offensive to other “races”. It propagates the legitimacy of Israel’s existence, and threatens our power on the world stage.” “Organise the outrage! Get the wheels of the State moving and manipulate the ignorant. Send out the murderous minions and shut down all this unlicensed good cheer. The party must not be seen to approve of this unsanctioned movement. Stop the early rumblings of this pathetic prophetic Jesus movement.”
And everybody said: “Long may our glorious revolution, the party who enforces it, and its leader who embodies it, reign!”

thelibertydaily--2020-12-25--The Fauci Who Stole Christmas

The Fauci Who Stole Christmas

“ Every WuFlu down in WuFluville liked Christmas a lot… But The Fauci , who lived in a very busy home-based TV studio north of WuFluville , did NOT !
The Fauci hated Christmas !
The whole Christmas season !
Now , please don ’ t ask why .
No one except public health “ experts ” and Chris Cuomo quite know the reason .
It could be his head wasn ’ t screwed on just right .
It could be , perhaps , that his homemade face mask was too tight .
But I think the most likely reason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his insatiable lust for appearances on “ The View , ” features in glossy fashion magazines , and his unchallenged dominance over 330 million WuFlus in WuFluville made his heart two sizes too small.
” The misery merchants of 2020 , sadly , do not plan to take a much-needed Christmas break .
To the contrary , they ’ re closing out a joyless year with more gloom , even using Jolly Old Saint Nick as a prop in their nonstop campaign to stoke panic about COVID-19 , demand compliance to failed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the new vaccine .
Dr. Anthony Fauci , who ironically turns 80 on Christmas Eve , has played the role of America ’ s all-season Grinch this year .
Perhaps the fact his birthday falls on the same day that Santa Claus socially distances himself down the chimney gives The Fauci the right to appropriate everyone ’ s favorite fat man to score cheap COVID political points—and invite children to act as modern-day Cindy Lou WuFlu in his latest publicity stunt .
During a CNN interview last week , The Fauci deflated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hong Kong who wanted to visit her grandparents without wearing a mask after they were vaccinated .
“ You still need to be careful and wear a mask , ” The Fauci told the girl on December 19 .
“ Until we get this blanket of protection over everyone , you can ’ t be absolutely certain that there isn ’ t virus there.
” It ’ s unclear whether The Fauci then visited her WuFlu home in WuFluville and stuffed her Christmas tree up the chimney .
Even after predictions that dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if relatives dared to travel or share a turkey dinner together —a command violated by his sidekick , Dr. Deborah Birx—didn ’ t materialize , The Fauci nonetheless is warning families not to exchange Christmas cheer .
“ Given the cold weather and given the fact that these types of celebrations , as wonderful and beautiful and traditional as they are , are fundamentally indoor things with people who will be singing and laughing and eating and drinking , ” The Fauci cautioned as he slithered and slunk and tore the stockings off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THEN They ’ d do something The Fauci liked least of all !
Every WuFlu down in WuFluVille , the masked and the unmasked , Would stand close together , with Christmas bells ringing .
And the WuFlu would start singing !
After some WuFlus down in WuFluVille objected to his wonderful , awful ideas , The Fauci backpedaled insisting that it was “ nonsense ” to characterize his remarks as an attempt to cancel Christmas .
Every storybook villain , of course , operates with a cast of devoted acolytes ; the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Democratic governor of Michigan , used a Christmas Zoom video featuring unsuspecting children to peddle more social distancing dogma .
Children were forced to ask Santa Claus about mask use and whether Coronavirus was in the North Pole instead of asking for dolls and video games .
Santa repeatedly lectured the kids to wash their hands .
“ Another way to stay safe during the holidays is to stay home but call your grandparents and your cousins and your family , ” Whitmer advised the little WuFlus in WuFluVille .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell the people you love how much you care about them.
” Then she stole all the pudding and the hash and even the roast beast .
But Whitmer isn ’ t alone in trying to spoil Christmas for all the WuFlus in WuFluVille .
Leaders of both political parties have cancelled annual festivities such as tree-lighting ceremonies and parades ; restaurants that serve as the traditional gathering site for co-workers , old friends , and long-distance relatives remain closed ; grandmas living in long-term care facilities will spend yet another holiday alone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the history of mankind still can ’ t figure out how to keep an elderly person safe while receiving life-sustaining affection from the people they love the most .
And none of it is backed by science and data , no matter how many times they shout it from the top of Mount Crumpit .
The Fauci did deliver a bit of good news about Jolly Old Saint Nick .
Another 6-year-old WuFlu asked the Fauci if Santa could visit him “ in coronavirus season ” and would the reindeer be safe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for you , I was worried you ’ d all be upset , ” the Fauci bragged on CNN .
“ I took a trip up to the North Pole…and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself , I measured his level of immunity and he is good to go.
” One swooning CNN host gushed that Fauci “ made so many children around the world so happy.
” The original Grinch , as everyone knows , did not succeed in ruining Christmas—and neither should the Fauci .
“ He stared down at WuFluVille !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ he shook !
What he saw was a shocking surprise !
Every WuFlu down in WuFluVille , the masked and the unmasked , Was singing !
Without any presents at all !
The Fauci HADN ’ T stopped Christmas from coming !
IT CAME !
Somehow or other , it came just the same !
” Will the Fauci ’ s heart grow three sizes to match his ego ?
Doubtful .
Regardless , every WuFlu down in WuFluVille should ignore Fauci and his monsters .
And make it a New Year ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2021 .

One of the principles asserted by Governor Haslam in support of his IMPROVE Act and its proposed increase of 7 cents per gallon in the gas tax is that “users” of roads should pay for road construction.
The gas tax is proper, he argues, because people who purchase gas to fuel their cars are the users of roads, and the gas tax is the best mechanism to charge them for that usage.
For at least a decade, however, revenue sources originally designed to fund highway construction have been intermingled, and that “user” fee principle has not strictly been applied to the funding of road construction. The IMPROVE Act does not fully address the co-mingling of funds.
The Highway Fund receives road construction “user fee” revenues from gasoline tax, motor fuel tax, gasoline inspection tax, motor vehicle registration tax and the motor vehicle title fees. At least 25 percent of those road construction “user fees” go to the General Fund, Education and Debt Service.
Though the majority of these “user fee” revenues have been allocated to the Highway Fund, between 25 percent and 29 percent of those fees -ranging from $177 million to $196 million annually– have been diverted away from the Highway Fund between FY 2011-12 and FY 2017-18, as Table 1 below illustrates.

The state of Tennessee budget documents detail the revenue sources and the basis of apportionment for those revenues. For every one of the “user fee” revenues, the Tennessee Code Annotated that directs funds away from the Highway Fund is cited.
There are also allocations to the Highway Fund, such as Gross Receipts Tax-Other and Beer Tax, that would otherwise be considered General Fund revenues, as the majority of those revenues are allocated to the General Fund. However, the increase of 25 to 29 percent to the Highway Fund is net the General Fund dollars.
In the upcoming 2017-18 budget year, the redistribution of “user fees” strictly to the Highway Fund would increase the Highway Fund by $187 million, and combined with the past six years would have added a total of $1.3 billion to the Highway Fund, all without a gas tax increase.
The co-mingling of funds goes both ways.
“Sales and Use Tax” revenues have been and continue to be allocated to the Highway Fund.
During Gov. Haslam’s administration, the percentage of state sales tax revenues allocated to the Highway Fund ranged between 0.26 and 0.94 percent. Essentially, the alternate “Hawk Plan,” named for Rep. David Hawk of Greenville, which allocates 0.25 percent of the sales tax revenues to the Highway Fund has been in effect for years to an even greater extent.


thelibertydaily--2020-12-25--Dr. David Samadi Considers Running for Mayor of New York City

There are seven registered Democrats for every one registered Republican in New York City .
In fact , there are almost twice as many registered with no-party-affiliation than with the GOP .
But the city has been in freefall on multiple fronts under Democratic leadership and residents of the Big Apple may be ready for a change .
Are they ready to return to the days when Republican Mayors had the city humming ?
That ’ s what Dr. David Samadi is contemplating as he looks at the field and considers running in the upcoming primary as a Republican .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ little time to raise the funds necessary to put forth a serious fight .
But Samadi is a popular figure in the state and has allies in the GOP who may be able to give him a boost .
Considering Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg both won as Republicans before Bill de Blasio came in to reverse the progress they had made , it ’ s possible a well-funded candidate could turn the city red again .
Much hinges on whether billionaire mogul John Catsimatidis decides to run .
He ’ s viewed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just because he can self-fund what will be an extremely expensive campaign but also because he is extremely well connected across the city .
His daughter , Andrea , is Chair of the Manhattan Republican Party .
If Catsimatidis does not run , Samadi seems poised to be a very strong candidate in the primary .
His long-standing opposition to the lockdowns that have financially crippled the city has been documented since before the President announced “ 15 days to slow the spread ” in March .
He is a proponent of law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the city and his support for President Trump can be appealing considering what has happened with this presidential election .
The President garnered over 300,000 more votes in New York City in 2020 than he did in 2016 .
Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang has filed paperwork to run as one of many Democrats in the city .
The current Georgia resident left New York City to vote in the senate runoff election on January 5th , though he ’ s expected to return to the Big Apple once the election is over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get the Democrat nod for mayor .
There seems to be little hope for a quick turnaround of the Big Apple ’ s fading fortunes .
But with next year ’ s mayoral race starting to heat up , the city may be ready for a major change .
Dr. David Samadi may be the change they seek .
COVID-19 lockdowns are taking down an independent news outlet Nobody said running a media site would be easy .
We could use some help keeping this site afloat .

But what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth .
We know we ’ ll never make a ton of money this way , and we ’ re okay with that .
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns .

The second way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We ’ ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills , it didn ’ t seem necessary .

Considering Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg both won as Republicans before Bill de Blasio came in to reverse the progress they had made, it’s possible a well-funded candidate could turn the city red again.
Much hinges on whether billionaire mogul John Catsimatidis decides to run. He’s viewed as a strong potential contender, not just because he can self-fund what will be an extremely expensive campaign but also because he is extremely well connected across the city. His daughter, Andrea, is Chair of the Manhattan Republican Party.
If Catsimatidis does not run, Samadi seems poised to be a very strong candidate in the primary. His long-standing opposition to the lockdowns that have financially crippled the city has been documented since before the President announced “15 days to slow the spread” in March. He is a proponent of law and order which is desperately needed in the city and his support for President Trump can be appealing considering what has happened with this presidential election. The President garnered over 300,000 more votes in New York City in 2020 than he did in 2016.
Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang has filed paperwork to run as one of many Democrats in the city. The current Georgia resident left New York City to vote in the senate runoff election on January 5th, though he’s expected to return to the Big Apple once the election is over. He is currently the frontrunner to get the Democrat nod for mayor.
There seems to be little hope for a quick turnaround of the Big Apple’s fading fortunes. But with next year’s mayoral race starting to heat up, the city may be ready for a major change. Dr. David Samadi may be the change they seek.
COVID-19 lockdowns are taking down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the resurgence of lockdowns that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.

The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. In November, 2020, we hit 1.2 million visitors.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time.

In May 2019 , AOC called the law “ a brutal form of oppression.

The democratic socialist is also an ardent supporter of unfettered abortion access and goes knives-out when anyone dares attempt to initiate sane policies that protect unborn children.
The May 2019 signing into law of a pro-life Georgia bill that sought to provide greater protections for infants with beating hearts provoked vile outburst from AOC.
Dubbed the “heartbeat bill,” the measure — which was later struck down by a federal judge who deemed it unconstitutional, according to ABC News — would have stopped abortions from happening upon detection of a heartbeat in unborn infants, which can occur as early as six weeks after conception.
In May 2019, AOC called the law “a brutal form of oppression.”
Ultimately, this is about women’s power. When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy.

About a week earlier, Ocasio-Cortez had declared the bill the work of men who only view women as objects of sexual desire.
(She apparently decided to ignore the fact that the bill was sponsored by equal numbers of male and female lawmakers.)
“Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it,” AOC tweeted, referring to the bill as “a backdoor ban” on abortion.
“6 weeks pregnant” = 2 weeks late on your period. Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it. It’s relatively common for a woman to have a late period + not be pregnant. So this is a backdoor ban. https://t.co/xWd9GAj51b — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) May 8, 2019

He became a symbol of rebellion last month while, during a live interview, he ripped up a notice fining him $15,000 for COVID-19 violations.
“Come and get it,” Dinero, who spent 14 years with the Marines, told WBEN.
The fine came after a protest at the gym, which has been closed along with all other gyms in the region after a rise in positive coronavirus cases brought about new restrictions imposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
In the video posted by Fox News, a group of protesters confronted deputies who had come to the protest. One dared the deputies to put him behind bars.
In an interview on “The Story” Dinero spoke about the principles behind his protest.
“Any infringement on our liberty goes too far. We were born with inalienable rights bestowed upon us by our Creator. They are guaranteed by the Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights,” he said.
“Any infringement on our freedom for any reason is too far. Our freedom cannot end where people’s fear starts.”
“They found out they messed with the wrong bunch of patriots,” Dinero told WKBW-TV. “I’m not here to argue with the Governor or the County Executive about spike rates—I don’t care.
“Freedom can never be subjugated to fear.”

Wow !

Last week news broke that senator-elect Tommy Tuberville may challenge the Electoral College votes on the US Senate floor in January.
Several states were stolen from President Trump in his landslide 2020 election. Democrats and the media claim it is perfectly normal to lock out GOP observers while you manufacture tens of thousands of votes to overcome a massive Trump win.
Trump supporters disagree.
But Mitch McConnell does not stand for President Trump and he does not stand with Trump’s voters.
Mitch stands with the globalists and the Democrats and he is reportedly reaching out to Tommy Tuberville to warn him about creating a messy situation next week.
Wow!
Via The Hill:
“Senate Republicans say Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will reach out to Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (Ala.) in an attempt to avoid a messy floor fight next month over finalizing the results of the Electoral College vote.”
Absolutely disgusting.

thelibertydaily--2020-12-26--Jesus Is Either the Only Way to God, or He Is No Way at All

Jesus is either the only way or he is no way at all , and if he is not who he claimed to be then we should ask what sort of man would make the claims that he did .
R.C .
Sproul once said that if you believe Jesus Christ is one way to God , then you must believe that he is the only way to God .
That ’ s because if you believe Jesus Christ is one of many pathways to God , then you must also believe that this particular way was dead wrong when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to God .
Jesus said , “ I am the way , the truth , and the life .
No one comes to the Father except through me ” ( John 14:6 ) .
If Jesus was wrong when he claimed that “ no one comes to the Father except through me ” then how foolish would it be to think that he was , at the very least , one legitimate way to God .
Either Jesus is the only way or he is no way at all .
And if he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be then we should ask what sort of man would make the kind of claims that he did .
What sort of man would claim to be the only way to God ?
What sort of man would claim to be God Himself , if that claim were not true ?
Certainly not a “ good man.
” C.S .
Lewis once perfectly highlighted how foolish it is to accept Jesus as anything less than God if we ’ re not willing to accept his claim to be divine and the only way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher , ” Lewis said .
“ He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell .
You must make your choice .
Lewis continued : “ Either [ Jesus ] was , and is , the Son of God , or else a madman or something worse .
You can shut him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God , but let us not come up with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher .
He as not left that open to us .
He did not intend to.
” You must make your choice , Lewis said .
So , who is Jesus ?
He ’ s not merely one of many pathways to God .
He ’ s not merely a man , a good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He is either a lunatic , a liar , or exactly who he claimed to be .
The answer is obvious , but for many , the implications of accepting that answer are just too great .
The problem for many is once we acknowledge Jesus as Lord and King , we owe him our allegiance and servitude .
But sadly , more often than not , we ’ d rather say “ our will be done ” and die , than “ Your will be done ” and live .
