Those deceived they have free will and that only one speech exists in total reality (non-creating speech) loath God actually speaking to them even as they are regenerated. As Creating Word, ( a Word their native speech that is non-creating could only say did not exist) He messes with/changes/seems-to-interfere the way they already think. They cannot keep anti-Christ as their fundamental identity with his lens and agenda of non-creation and be born again as real, literal new creation in Jesus Christ at the same time. Never having been non-metaphorically born again in Jesus Christ before, they keep trying to go back to ‘how’ they thought even as they have been eternally separated from sin/anti-Christ and cannot go back.

Without in any way detracting from the successes of charitable organizations that God has wrought, this kind of wondering out loud is nothing more than anti-Christ being arch-typically himself in his guise as the ideal charity.
It is telling that anti-Christ as charity industry can appear to be so particular in his assessment of its own failures while boxing the whole assessment as simultaneous confession and studied criticism of others and as portraying just the right balance of emotions delivered to the reader to come off non-judgemental so as to tacitly advertise his next sayings and keep the whole deception of free will going as the truth lite those with a speech and heart in common with him have come to expect. The thing the world expects from charities, wrapped in non-creating speech as the larger lie of free will ( and holding that deception in common with the supposed target of charitible opportunity as if truth among the contributors to charities ), is competence. After all, ‘free’ will without competence and ‘results’ is like a gold ring in a hogs nose to those deceived it actually exists. The after action report / self-loathing format of the article is just that kind of public relations / self criticism anti-Christ has sought to teach the world is the very model and ideal of competence while subtly validating the free will lie polished with a bit of religion minus any reality.
THE hard question we need to ask ourselves is, are Bingos and minimal government overseas aid packages merely a way the rich nations placate their feelings of guilt for actually causing so much hardship in the first place?
Here is the concern to reduce poverty without endangering our wealth. So, should we get our credit cards out and continue giving?
The self-loathing part is archtypically done, as far as anti-Christ can do: there is the admission of waste of money in large charites, a joke, and even a nifty moniker (BINGO : Big International NGO’s ) with its clever association with the game of chance by the same name.
But of course, the spot on, hit-the-nail-on-the-head connotation of “Bingo!” is missing. The world expects this from Baptist in particular in keeping with a smiley faced belligerence of ‘gospel’. There is the distancing of the postive emotions from those wastes of money by the mere implication that because we all supposedly have free will and know how the emotional mathmatica of the heart works one would not write /confess/ be a whistle -blower and simultaneously be in on the robbery. That would be mixing the emotions of against with the emotions of for and would be self-destructive as far as the implicit goal of all humanity of an unbroken string of emotional positives is concerned.
But of course, there is no free will and that mixing by anti-Christ goes on all the time so as to be ubiquitous among fallen man.
Then suddenly, the anti-Christ repeats his centuries old lie yet again: the ‘poor’ nations of the world are poor (and that is that! show me the money! let’s get those nets and rods and reels over there and teach those people how to fish!) because ‘we’ made them poor. Get it? We supposedly used our supposed free will improperly and so they did ‘too’ as the ‘poor’ naturally wish to imitiate the ‘rich’.
Conundrum for NGO-ists: ‘they’ used their ‘free’ will Improperly, ‘got poor’, then ‘we’ Noticed, then we ‘used’ our ‘free’ will improperly, then they followed us …Oh! the vicious, compounding circle of evil.
Yet the mere going ’round of the same rhetoric is supposedly demonstratrion of good intentions and ergo good. Keep that money flowing…
Psalm 49:13 This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. Selah.
Then there is this by anti-Christ absently musing on “why Africa is still poor”. Anti-Christ’s usual ‘frank honesty’: it’s not the other guy’s fault! You just haven’t ‘used’ your free will properly. Now “Africa”, that world famous laboratory of social experimention/engineering that has been (falsely) gospeled like nobodies business into abortion, genocide and worship of demons needs to ‘get energized’:
“It is not sufficient for African governments merely to consolidate the progress made in their adjustment programs. They need to go beyond the issues of public finance, monetary policy, prices and markets to address fundamental questions relating to human capacities, Institutions, governance, the environment, population growth and distribution, and technology. Changes in perception and priorities as well as in incentives, will be required to bring about Improvements in people=s welfare.
Above all, in order to channel the energies of the population at large, ordinary people should participate actively in designing and implementing development programs. More of this will take time to accomplish. But while the focus is on the long B term economic growth and political stability, the call is for action now in order to bring long-term changes that will promote economic growth and reduce poverty.
Changes in perception. Changes in priorites. What new birth? What complete divorce from anti-Christ-as-worldy-wisdom?
Then there is this anti-Christ hall of famer. Great example of the division of Satan as anti-Christ hating anti-Christ.
The letter demonstrates a false gospel is thought to be the true gospel such that a compounded fake gospel is asked to be given to the other guy who is called the “niggers”. It shows that the gospel the writer thought to have was false in that he thought he had control of ‘it’ even though it was in his own mind technically/’theologically’ perfect. What a perfect example of non-creating speech as “philosophical” Calvinism deceiving those over whom it had dominion. It proves (even back then) the lie of “freedom of speech” as an ability of man, and within that lie an ability in self-will to ‘do’ the “gospel offer” toward anyone and sets up “decisions for Jesus” in the stead of genuine new birth in Jesus Christ was the rule not the exception. It points to/hints at true salvation as deeper than a works based/legalistic ‘earning’ and yet posits control of God as Word else the very effort to write the ‘order’ is usless.
The very effort to write the letter was useless and the King of Belgium did not know it.
They were deceived and thought in their wickedness to keep from others what they themselves didn’t have anyway; like a blind man grasping the air and thinking he played a joke on his fellow man by pulling the chair out from underneath him as he sat: nothing happened but he is laughing in self-delusion as a supposed triumph of his own ‘free’ will over ‘another’s’. In his own mind he played moral chess and won …something.
And he is still laughing in self-delusion as he kills his own children and calls it wealth.
Gosh, anti-Christ through so many being honest just to do the calisthenics of honesty as if doing so actually moves anything forward merely because words were written. I wonder what anti-Christ is getting ready to do next? Have a conference? Build a religious center to set up future generations for “pilgrimage” tourism?
Things we can always count on anti-Christ to say: 1.) himself as non-creating speech of sin as the ‘free’ will of man ‘doing’ …everything. 2.) ‘poverty’ is about material wealth and the ’smarts’ to get that wealth (’education’ ) 3.) God isn’t God because ‘the gospel’ has already been spoken to those who were poor and they are worse off than before, so the world doesn’t need Jesus Christ ‘any more’ having supposedly ‘already given Him a chance’

2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. As his divine power has given to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us by glory and virtue, through which he has given to us the greatest and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it. 2 Kings 18:25
Anti-Christ tried the lie that God had sent him to conqueor Jerusalem through the Assyrians. But God says to the worshipers of demons who hate Jesus Christ and Israel: "But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me." 2 Kings 19:27
