This article is written to show you how the Theory of Good Society came about when I first visited Scandinavia many years ago in looking for a better country and assessed the six most advanced societies in the world. A good society must consist in Five Imperatives, namely, Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Civility, and Security. Each Imperative is defined and composes of many variables. Value of each variable is assigned to each Imperative, the total values make up the score of that Imperative. The total values of the Five Imperatives make the final score of that society. The measurement is standardized and it can be verified. The total measurement or assessment of a society can signify whether that society is getting better or getting worse.

When I was a poor student working my way at a college in Los Angeles, I needed a cheap dentist. Through Yellow Pages and a phone call, I found a cheap dentist. I did not know the area or the neighborhood. I drove my old jalopy to the dental office, when I arrived and parked my car on the street, hundred pairs of black eyes focused on me. Suddenly I felt a sense of danger. I hurried to enter the dental office and saw the black dentist and all black patients and hurried to come out without doing any dental work. I hurried to drive my car away. As I left that neighborhood driving home, I felt a sense of relief. A black political preacher once said he did not feel safe to be around with black youth. As a contrast, in  1975 I conceived a theoretical framework on a good society when I visited Scandinavia the first time. In 1976 I was doing a follow-up project in Europe to assess the most advanced European societies (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany and England)    where I completed  

    The Theory of Good Society. 

I was staying in a suburb of Copenhagen called Skodsborg. One day I was on my way to the railway station going to Copenhagen. When I was walking on the sidewalk between the bushes on right and left, a group of Danish children between 6-8 years old were walking in a row hand in hand towards me. Suddenly, without saying a word to each other, they realized they were blocking my passage way. They immediately changed their pattern of walking together from a row into a column and turned facing me on their right. They bent their bodies with left hands on their backs, and right hands extending with a ceremonial bow and good gesture making a way and waiting to let me pass.   How civilized and delightful these children were! They acted as one person without consultation. They were brought up in such a cultured way that they instinctively knew what to do and behave properly. They taught me the true meaning of civility. Let me give you another example that defines civility. Once I saw a gray-haired old man squatted down on the floor of a Shanghai subway train to pick up trash that littered by uncivilized passengers and put in a plastic bag to take out when he exited the subway. The old man was not a subway worker or cleaner. His voluntary behavior shames all those who litter. A civilized person sometimes has to do something beyond and above his duty. I have traveled extensively and widely and met and observed millions of peoples around the world, but I have never met children more lovely and beautiful than those Danish children. Won’t it be wonderful if one of those children (who are adults now) would identify himself or herself and contact me through the E-mail? In addition I can honestly say:   Norwegians are the most civilized people I have ever met in my life.  Once I was looking for a street address in Oslo, I asked a young Norwegian man who happened to be there. He offered to walk with me to lead me there because he said I might get lost. The test of civility is not how you treat the people you know, but how you treat strangers, people who are not important to you personally. You cannot define the ugliness of uncivilized behavior (incivility) until you know the beauty of civility. 

Shanghai is the most remarkable international city where you can meet peoples from many nations who came to study, work, live or visit. On November 18, 2014 it happened a beautiful Swedish girl came and sat next to me on a subway train. I could not help to reminisce those good and pleasant days when I visited and stayed in   Scandinavia.   The test of civility is not how you treat people you know, but how you treat strangers.  The Swedish girl and I were strangers, but we had a very pleasant conversation and we said goodbye in several languages. Perhaps we have something in common, she is Swedish and I like Sweden. She studies at a Chinese university in Shanghai while I am a retired professor promoting education of the masses on the Internet.  Stockholm has only 3 line-subway, and she likes Shanghai very much.   A civilized person is one you enjoy talking to and with; an uncivilized person you are afraid to approach and not interested in engaging any conversation. I wish to meet more civilized persons, and avoid uncivilized people. 

On November 14, 2014 I carried a heavy bag and I was worn out. I saw a man working on the street and asked him to help me carry the bag to the subway station. He willingly took my large bag and carried it up to the entrance of the subway station, I gave him a tip but he consistently refused until I finally placed the tip in his hand. Second thought I should have given the man more.   Here was a Chinese worker whose wages are among the lowest, and yet he was not greedy but very helpful. Years ago when I was in California, I saw an old woman carrying a load walking upstairs, an American boy came along and said to her, If you give me money I would help you carry the load. This Chinese street worker is perhaps more civilized, moral, and a better human being than many executives of Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood who are products of American Ivy League universities and they live a luxurious lifestyle. 

Do not get the wrong idea if a person is more educated, has a higher position, and in a better living environment – he will become a better and more moral and helpful human being. It dawns on me: To be a civilized and good person has something to do with human  character and choice, practically nothing to do with education, position and social status. 

Today (9/27/14) on a subway train I saw a pretty young woman in her twenties sitting across my seat. At a station stop, one old man entered and standing because there was no seat. Immediately the young woman got up and yielded her seat to him. So the young woman was standing there. At another station stop, came another old man who was standing because no seat was available. At one point the subway train jerked and the old man lost his balance and accidentally jabbed his hand into the young woman’s back part of her head so much so that she screamed. Realizing the old man was physically unstable, the young woman requested a young man to yield his seat to the unstable old man and did not blame the old man. Do you say the behavior of this young woman is a case of civility? More than that, it is simple goodness. I was refreshed by this lovely observation, and I say to you this pretty young woman is a pleasant model of a civilized and good person that I have not met for a long time, she is well qualified to be a member of the Good Society I envisioned in my theory expounded in this article.  

On my first trip to Scandinavia in 1975  in search of a better country than the United States of America, the concept of the Good Society was conceived through observations and deliberation and by 1976 the foundation of the theory of good society was laid.   A Good Society is a society made of five imperatives, namely Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Civility, and Security. 

Liberty means freedom from tyranny.  

Prosperity means freedom from poverty.  

Equality means equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal 

treatment under the law – freedom from discrimination.  

Civility is freedom from barbarity, incivility and vulgarity.  

Security means freedom from fear of harm, threat and terror. 

A society is good or bad in proportion to the extent it scores on these five criteria or imperatives. One society may score higher on one criterion or imperative and score lower on the other four. A total score may give you a general idea how a society functions as a whole. A nation is counted as a society, although there are sub-societies exist within a society; in fact that is called community. Many communities make up a society within a nation. A sophisticated system of measurement can be designed and employed to evaluate any society at a given time whether it is good or bad, and how good it is or how bad it is. It is also possible to measure the same society which is better or worse in comparison to last year or previous years once the data are accumulated, analyzed and stored. A longitudinal study is possible based on accumulative annual data of that society. 

The measurement of a society focuses on the general condition or trend – that is what is generally true.   What is generally true about a society may not be individually true. For example, there is a DND syndrome in the Chinese society.  DND stands for Dirty, Noisy,  and Disorderly. But it is not true that every Chinese is dirty, noisy, and disorderly. It is equally true that many Asian, African and Latin nations suffer DND syndrome.  There are many cities in America that suffer severe DND syndrome.   My first time to Washington, D.C. was a cultural shock.   All characteristics can be identified as public acts or acts of individuals in public. For example, littering is not a private act, but a public act. When you see people spit, litter – and you see trash, wastepaper, or garbage lying scattered about, and litters such as cigarette buts, paper cups, plastic bags, soft drink cans, etc. on the streets, you can generally and safely conclude that the people are dirty. A place is not clean or dirty by itself, people make it so. Another example, based on facts you can conclude America has a violent culture and American society is a violent society.  The headline on Friday April 3, 2009 read: Gunman Commits New York Massacre in Immigration Center where immigrants were taking a citizenship exam, killing 13 people before committing suicide. This was one of countless and senseless incidents. On April 4, 2009 a gunman lying in wait killed 3 Pittsburgh officers and turned a quiet Pittsburgh street into a battlefield. The American dream became a deadly dream. American politicians continuously make guns easily available, and so deaths and destruction will continue in a senseless way. The gun lobbyists rule America just as other interest groups do. Rampage becomes the American way of life. But you cannot say all Americans are violent. 

If you live in a bad society where there are more frauds committed than the stars in the sky, discrimination is a way of life, doctors and hospitals can bankrupt you any moment, crooks and criminals threaten you in all aspects of life, the flawed legal system does not protect you, the government serves the interest of the few, you feel the nation is on the wrong track but you are helpless and hopeless, and you are desperate if you are unemployed, you live in fear every day – – the days are evil. It was also reported that the rich and powerful founder of Apple Company was so afraid that his daughter could be kidnapped.   What is the use of money and power and the so-called richest and most powerful nation on earth, if you live in fear daily?  What is the use of the sole superpower that can destroy the world but cannot protect its citizens from harm by crooks and criminals and terrorists?  

Detroit officially went bankrupt on July 19, 2013. Why Detroit went bankrupt? They may be the following reasons: 

(1). Debt 

(2). Corruption 

(3). Fraud 

(4.). Waste 

(5). Mismanagement 

(6). Affirmative Action 

(7). Crime 

American leaders live well and enrich themselves and special interests at the expense of the public. American leaders are doing everything possible and incessantly spending what the government does not have in heavy borrowing with huge deficits and biggest national debt.

According to https://www.theusdebtclock.com

The U.S. national debt grows at a rate of 45.486 dollar per secondMany Americans have been brain-washed as if capitalism was the gospel truth, and blindly concluded that the free-market economy is working. A misguided son of a pastor who misstated “Capitalism is about seizing opportunity. A lot of people get more opportunities than others, but a lot of people aren’t seizing it.” What kind of working market-economy when Wall Street executives and bankers created the largest economic and financial crisis in 2008 that looted the world more than  $50 trillion?  Not only those who were responsible were not prosecuted and sent to prison, they were bailed out by taxpayers‘ money, in addition of excessive compensation they received billions in annual bonuses. Bonuses used to reward successes, beginning in 2008 bonuses were used to reward failures and irresponsibility. A simple-minded person does not know where opportunities come from. Under American capitalism, 99 percent of population works for the 1 percent. 
Over $35 trillion in the history of mankind on seeking military supremacy and world dictatorship while neglecting all their duties in doing what is right to serve the interest of the greatest number of American people. America is ruled by 1 percent of the population at the expense of the 99 percent. Detroit is a prime example of what  America is heading. Mountain of facts and evidence convince you to conclude America is not what a nation should be; America has been building a very bad society since the end of World War II. American society is certainly and clearly not a good society. Take a short drive in Detroit and see for yourself the real America. There will be many more cities like Detroit and many states going bankrupt also. This is what American leaders and politicians are so proud of capitalism, democracy, human rights, freedom, rule of law, security, etc. The United States exists for wrong reasons. America is definitely not a model for other nations, not a model for the world. Worst of all, American leaders are leading and helping Japan, rat and rogue nations, etc. in a coming war of aggression against China in order to rob China’s territories and loot China’s resources in the   South China Sea and the East China Sea.  The war of aggression will bring about a global nuclear war and holocaust. The United States of America is accelerating in the path of destruction and leading the world to destruction. 

When I was working my way at college, I had to pay income tax for the meager $3,000 I earned in a year, but a Rockefeller who earned $23 million did not have to pay one penny for his come tax. Do you call this democracy? The American system represented by democracy and capitalism is working for the few rich and powerful at the expense of the vast majority. You become an outsider in your own country. Capitalism is incompatible with Christianity because it is driven by greed or the love of money, and democracy is the biggest lie because it serves the interest of the few.  Obama was not a millionaire before he became the president, he is now a multi-millionaire not because of his salary. Congressmen and senators have power to give themselves raise anytime. There are still so many gullible Americans who  have been cheated and fooled not realizing the U.S. government does not work for the good of the greatest number of people. The American government serves the special interests. Special interests rule and run America. 

I． LIBERTY 

1.  Liberty is defined as freedom from tyranny. 

There are many sources of tyranny: the government, the rich, the powerful, the terrorist, the corporation, the crook and criminal, etc. Liberty is the most basic freedom, without it there is no guarantee of life and property. Corruption, cronyism, and abuse of power are the biggest threats to liberty, prosperity, equality, civility and security of citizens. Corruption is like a tumor to a body, the political body of nation decays or dies because of corruption. Wherever there are corruption, cronyism, and abuse of power – people lose confidence in the government. A dysfunctional government is no better than anarchy. Abuse of power threatens the liberty of the people. A good leader must cut back on central government expenditures and the bureaucracy. The bigger the government, the less liberty the people enjoy. 

2. A flawed legal system is the number one threat to liberty. 

As Jefferson said, law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. Not only that, a bad legal system threatens and blackmails the people. It becomes legal terrorism   used by officials, lawyers and immoral people to sue others without cause, and to bankrupt decent people by legal fees. The fraudulent, predatory and excessive healthcare charges by doctors and hospitals are the greatest financial threat to most Americans. For decades American doctors, dentists, surgeons, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, etc. work like an organized syndicate that sucks the blood of American people and bankrupts millions of American families with impunity. The U.S. government even knows these evildoers have defrauded trillions all these years through frauds committed in Medicare and Medicaid in an accelerating rate. 

Freedom of expression and political freedom and human rights become meaningless when you live in fear daily threatened by crooks, criminals and terrorists. For example, voting right is often meaningless to exercise. The only American president who deserved my vote so far was Richard Nixon. I campaigned and voted for Ronald Reagan because Jimmy Carter was so bad and useless. Then Reagan made an unconscionable statement that the homeless people lived on the streets by choice; I did not waste my vote on him in his second term.   You always have to vote for lesser evils – that makes voting almost meaningless and useless. In America you must choose between the Republican Party or Democratic Party and register. When you realize   both parties do not serve the interest of the American people,  voting becomes an exercise of futility. Independent is not a party or choice or entity, it is a misnomer. So the two-party system virtually works as one party of monopoly. 

The government is useless if it cannot protect you when crooks blackmail and defraud you (ID fraud, false accusation, false claim, false charge, false documentation, false presentation, etc.), and criminals rob and rape and mug you, and when terrorists can kill you (by bombs and guns) anytime and anywhere. What people want is the right to live; not to be harmed, blackmailed, discriminated, defrauded, exploited, oppressed, repressed, suppressed, threatened, or killed. 

For a terrorist who killed 77 persons and wounded more than 100, the maximum penalty will be 21 years of imprisonment would be a great travesty of justice. The criminal justice system in reality invites and encourages criminals to do evil.   Death penalty is the only appropriate punishment for all murderers and killers.  It is cruel and illogical that the life of a mass killer is worth more than the lives of 77 innocent persons. It is time for  Norway  to reinstate death penalty. The abolition of death penalty will inevitably invite more mass murders of this sort.  Any nation which is lenient to mass killers and murderers at the expense of innocent lives by definition cannot be a good society. 

3.  A proper government restrains itself from diminishing individual liberty. 

A proper government, for Jefferson, is one that not only prohibits individuals in society from infringing on the liberty of other individuals, but also restrains itself  from diminishing individual liberty. A good government should be a terror to the lawless, and protection to the law abiding. 

4.  Government exists by consent of the governed. 

The people must retain sovereignty over the government.  People sovereignty can only be exercised through general referendum. When the majority people cast a vote of no confidence in any branch of government, that branch of government is dismissed and a general election is called for. When the majority people cast a vote of no confidence in any official, elected or appointed, that official is automatically and immediately removed. A general election is called for to replace that official. Many people fool themselves, there is not one country under Heaven which has people sovereignty.

5. The structure of the American government, composed of the executive, legislative and judiciary branches is inherently and practically flawed. 

Impeachment is a useless and costly and ineffective process. An elected president can do any evil in his term because of partisan politics and he cannot be removed until the next election. The  executive branch runs amok with so many self-serving departments and agencies. The legislative branch composed of senate and the house of representatives created little kings and dictators serving themselves in extravagance. For example, congress can vote to raise their own salaries and benefits, make rules on gifts, ethics, etc. without people’s consent The Supreme Court is an ivory tower of old people whose opinions lose touch with reality. For example, freedom of expression is used to cover and defend unsavory and uncivilized acts such as pornography of children, burning flags, same-sex marriage, etc. Supreme Court justices must not be appointed for life.  The tenure of Supreme Court justices must be based on performance and approval of the people.  The house of representatives should be abolished and consolidated by unicameral legislative branch called senate. Each state is entitled to have one senator no matter how small is the population; with each five million population the state is awarded additional senator. By National Referendum, people can remove even the president. The ultimate power of the people in the form of national referendum checks and insures the government and officials perform their duties and responsibilities and they are held accountable and liable. 

Jefferson wrote: 

We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles & organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness. 

6.  Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of people’s will and wishes, it is the right of the people to alter and abolish it and to institute new government to serve the interests of the greatest number of people. 

For a long time, America, has been serving the interest of the few at the expense of the greatest number of citizens.

The Bible says:  

Psa 34:14 , “Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” 

Note: This is what a good leader should do. 

II.   PROSPERITY 

1.  Prosperity is the freedom from poverty. 

The job of government is to insure a fair, reliable and workable economic and financial system that effects a decent living for all people. The current economic and financial crisis is indicative of a failed and corrupt capitalism where the few can defraud the public in trillions of dollars; where a few can make several billions a year while millions still earn $7-$10 an hour. When I started to work my way, I earned $1.25 an hour.  The American economic and financial system servers and enriches the 1 percent of population at the expense of the 99 percent. The people (employees) make so little because executives make so much. The executives make so much because the employees (people) make so little. The legal and health care systems suck the blood of the American people about  $6 trillion   dollars a year with impunity. The Bible says:  Pro 11:18, “The wicked earns deceptive wages, but he who sows righteousness gets a true reward.” Clearly, the executives who managed their firms into bankruptcy and still be paid with bonuses in billions of dollars are earning deceptive wages. The American corporate model is a corrupt and bad model of exploitation and oppression. Only by overhaul of the economic and financial system can the benefits of prosperity bring upon the greatest number of people. 

Note: Deceptive in Hebrew is sheqer which means false; wrongful; vain; deceitful; fraudulent; sham; dishonest; invalid or indecent; – which occurs 115 times in the Old Testament. Earn in Hebrew is `asah which means to make. The wicked does not earn wages, they make deceptive wages. When corrupt and crooked doctors and hospital owners defraud and overcharge patients, they make deceptive wages.

2.  The former and current malefactors of great wealth –the richest men in history are not honest and decent people. 

It is the duty of government to stamp out  monopolies, oligopolies and frauds  of all kinds. It is necessary to abolish non-profit status and tax foundations, charities, religions, and institutions. Inheritance of assets worth more than $10 million or more should be taxed. 

Individual income of $50,000 or less a year should be tax free. Business income of $250,000 a year is also tax free without deductions and exemptions. 

3. Fraud is a great threat to prosperity because the few defraud the means and resources of the majority. 

Complicated subprime, hedge funds, derivatives, credit default swap, toxic assets, etc. are instruments of fraud used by the smartest crooks and criminals in the world trained in most prestigious universities. Anyone who defrauds accumulatively $2 million or more should be executed and all assets seized to pay the victims or the Treasury. The worship of money is not conducive in building a good society. Norway is the only nation on earth which has achieved a status where poverty no longer exists. China by 2021 has also eliminated extreme poverty of 770 million peasants. Official corruption is probably the greatest fraud that robs the people and nation.  Chinese businesses are usually more honest. When I first went to China in 1985 the morality of Chinese people was so high that they would not even defraud or overcharge you ¥1. Since then American greedy capitalism has infected China severely and the morality of Chinese people has gone down rapidly. Today there maybe some Chinese crooks who would defraud you gladly for millions of dollars and laugh at it as an achievement. A small example for your information: 

On April 15, 2013 I went shopping at Shanghai Yuyuan Garden at the basement of a commercial building. The woman shop owner said, Panasonic Rechargeable Shaver (ES-RW30) is sold outside at   ¥400-500; she sold to me for  ¥350. To my shocking I discovered the same Panasonic Shaver is sold at   ¥299 at Carrefour Supermarket. Yuyuan shops do not give receipt and do not refund. I called the male store owner and he would not acknowledge it was a lie and would not give refund. Carrefour already makes a profit of the Panasonic Shaver at the price of   ¥299, the dishonest woman on top of it defrauded extra profit of ¥51.  Sadly, man would be willing to go to Hell for a lie of ¥51. The lesson learned: It is not wise to believe what Chinese merchants say. You should know the product and the price before you buy. Carrefour probably would be a good reference point of price comparison.  I bought a scale from the store of a woman. The battery needed to be replaced, the woman said 8 yuan a piece; I bargained for 5 yuan, she said no on account it was a good quality battery. Then I found out and bought a set of five of the same kind battery for only 5 yuan, which is 1 yuan a piece. I returned the 8 yuan battery intact (without use or open) ten minutes later for refund; the woman refused and claimed hers was superior, although it was the same kind. How China has changed!   The China I knew in 1985 is not the China I know today. Can a human go the Hell for lying for 8 yuan? Over the years I have discovered people in government and business regularly and habitually lie. Even people of small business lie. This is what 

Jesus says,  Mat 5:26 , “Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent.” 

Note: Cent in Greek is kodrantēs, which means in the New Testament a coin equal to one half the Attic chalcus worth about 3/8 of a cent. In business, a woman was willing to lie for 8 yuan. How sad it is! How cheap is the human value!  Wall Street in 2008 economic and financial crisis cheated $50 trillion. Corrupt doctors and hospital owners and other healthcare providers annually and routinely cheat billions or trillions of dollars. 

I have many white American friends who did not know and they were surprised and shook their heads when they learned Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson threatened China with atomic bombs. This one thing my white American friends will never know: I have known many persons of different races and nations who were honest and decent peoples in their countries. After coming to America, they were absorbed by American culture of greed, love of money, and obsessed with power and sex.  This is just one of many outrageous examples I want you to know. One Vietnamese woman who opened a travel agency in Orange County sold me a bogus airline round trip tickets to China. Luckily I checked with Air China first to see if my name was on their list for the flight to Beijing on a certain date. I was shocked to find out my name was not on the passenger list on the departure date. The Air China manager was so angry and requested that I faxed the tickets to her, and she threatened to take the business license away from that Vietnamese travel agency which issued bogus airline tickets. How many crimes and sins are committed for the love of money, power and sex everyday in the United States – the land of opportunity! 

Salute to Russians. 

I believe only a great people can make a great nation. There are many outstanding characteristic demonstrated by Chinese of this generation who will be able to restore the past glory and greatness of China in assisting the Chinese government on the noble task of rejuvenating and revitalizing China. However, China needs to provide better education for Chinese people on how since the infamous Opium Wars the American imperialist and Japan have oppressed and suppressed China; and also provide universal scientific and technical education for the masses. A thousand years ago, China had the most advanced and glorious civilization on earth. A thousand years later, China can achieve the most advanced and glorious civilization once more time. In parallel to this I salute the Russians for their outspoken values and courageous efforts in fighting official corruption. There are many positive points I wholeheartedly agree with the Russians.  

(A). Russians disapprove of bureaucrats’ wealth. 

A majority of Russians are increasingly intolerant of the wealth of government officials – riches which they see as connected to the embezzlement of public funds. Chinese people should demand the same from all Chinese officials – from the lower to the high ranking. In America, things are more complicated because there has been a symbiotic relation between Washington, D.C. and Wall Street from the start, an adulterous liaison between government and business and industry due to long practice of capitalism. The fastest way to become rich in America is to be elected the president. High ranking officials of all administrations have become multi-millionaires on account of influence peddling and lobbying. Even multitudes of bureaucrats make very good living for hardly doing anything. There is parasitic existence in American bureaucracy in addition to the insidious corruption. Russians serve as model citizens of all nations to disapprove bureaucrats’ wealth acquired by power and position. In many nations corrupt people seek positions and power in government solely for the purposes of self-enrichment and self-interest and self-advancement.  

(B). Russians call for lower salaries for government officials. 

I cannot say whether the demand is appropriate or not, because I do not have sufficient knowledge of Russian economy, cost of living, etc. in relation to salaries of Russian officials to make a judgment. But something is ominous because the perception of Russians and at least most Russians think their officials make too much money. I believe and know American officials not only make too much money, the whole American bureaucracy (federal, state, agency, county and city) is overpaid for their salaries, benefits and pensions – it is one of the many reasons for causing huge budget deficits and greatest national debt. People of executive, legislative and judicial branches of government enjoy almost free healthcare and medical benefits at public expense. They do not seem to know or care that the American healthcare system is monopolistic, predatory and fraudulent that robs ordinary Americans of their life savings and has bankrupted millions of families. Among other things, one bad thing is the practice that in the U.S. Congress, representatives and senators vote and approve their own salaries and increases, not the American public. There is another black hole in government is the travel expenses incurred by high and middle elected and appointed officials. They enjoy luxuries at people’s expenses.  The wages, benefits, and special rights and privileges of former American presidents and families should also be reduced accordingly. The U.S. government should fund no presidential libraries.

(C). Russians make a direct connection between high-paid government jobs and crime. 

It has been my belief that ministers and preachers who live a life of luxury are indecent because the Lord lived a poor simple life on earth.  

Mat 8:20, “Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” I consider it a sin for a minister or preacher to eat a $1,000 dinner, or to wear a $10,000 suit, or to drive a Mercedes, or for a minister’s wife to wear a mink coat worth $30,000. Unless a government official (elected or appointed) is rich on his own money, it is indecent to live a life of luxury. No government officials, elected or appointed, should be able to live a life of luxury based on his salaries. Apparently, luxury must be connected to high-paid government job and corruption.  

(D). Russians disapprove distant and arrogant government officials. 

In America there is a product of universal propaganda called public servants. You must be stupid or naïve to believe all American officials (elected or appointed) are public servants. Many of them are lords and masters  of the people. Once I heard an executive reporting that he spent  $4,000 to have breakfast with a U.S. senator. This is not a boast: I would not have breakfast with that senator even if I were paid $4,000 dollars. Why? You should not associate with corrupt officials to share their sins. The problem of many nations is the fact it is very difficult to remove a bad and powerful official. The American impeachment process proves to be costly, ineffective and useless waste of public money. There is one measure to remove arrogant and abusive officials that is through general referendum. If 51% of citizens cast a vote of no confidence against an official, he or she should be removed and replaced at once. In many government agencies and departments, you often encounter crude and rude lower black personnel. The federal government in Washington, D.C. is well-known for being staffed with overwhelmingly majority of low level black incompetent personnel.  

(E). Russians demand or favor a cap on incomes for those who wish to work for the government. 

Capping the incomes of government officials is a sensible requirement in managing a government under any form or system. However, bad people will seek a loophole in any rule or regulation, system or law. They will seek the top bracket of incomes available. If every official is paid at the maximum income allowable, then the cap becomes obsolete and useless. It takes good people to make a government work. For instance, if the meals allowance for a government employee on travel is $100 a day, you can be sure everyone will claim the $100 a day allowance.  

(F). Russians want all property of government officials to be declared. 

I believe this is also required of American government employees regarding stock ownership. You are not allowed to investigate or prosecute or regulate a certain firm while owning a number of shares of that company. This is known as conflict of interest. However, not all government employees of high and middle level disclose their personal wealth or private assets. The top level officials of the three branches of American government should disclose all the wealth and private assets (including stocks, real estate, bank accounts, antiques, jewelries, etc.). For example, if a man is elected the president of the United States with total assets of $750,000; it is impossible before he finishes the four-year term to become a multi-millionaire worth $20 million. No official in whatever capacity be allowed to make decisions on a business or project or program that will financially and otherwise benefit himself. In a culture of special relation between Wall Street and Washington, there are many ways that a high ranking government official can get rich by many means corrupt or not, legal or not.  

(G). Vladimir Putin is the capable and smart Russian leader. 

This is an opportunity for Vladimir Putin to become a great Russian leader of all times because the time is right and the problem of Russian corruption is great. If Mr. Putin does a good and great job in getting rid of official corruption, he will earn himself a secure position in Russian history. By the same token the strategic cooperation between China and Russia will withstand aggression and domination attempted by any power. From the start I said the American Occupy Wall Street movement would fail because it did not have a leader, a goal and program action. Russia has an able leader, and I wish Putin and Russians well. The citizens of all nations should follow Russians in demanding a clean government free of corruption. 

4.  It is high-sounding but hollow to say: “Washington balks at surrendering real power over its economic life to international bodies it does not control.” 

Oh, my goodness, the financial and economical and political and military problems are all made in the U.S.A.  For too long, the United States has tried to control the whole world but failed to control itself. Who is responsible for American fiscal irresponsibility? Who is responsible for American budget and trade deficits? Who is responsible for American mountain high of national debt and massive borrowing? Who is responsible for printing money and dropping of dollar, etc.? Who lets    Wall Street crooks and criminals create the economic and financial crisis beginning in 2008 that looted the world more than $50 trillion? If America has done a good job in controlling itself, why would it be in such as mess today? It was American leaders and politicians and bureaucrats, Wall Street, bank, mortgage, insurance, and big firm executives, doctors and hospitals, lawyers, etc. who were bringing American economy to ruin in the pursuit of their own selfish interests and insatiable love for money and power.   American problems are all made in the U.S.A.    – to put the blame on others or other nations is immoral and dishonest and evil. The United States is facing its worst economic calamity of its own doing.   Every government is responsible for the condition of its nation.   The exception to the rule was when Japan attacked China. Even Chinese government then was also partly responsible, for a strong nation would have deterred aggression. 

The problem of the world today is not any country or any system is threatening the national security of America, the problem of the world is the fact for the last 500 years or more European imperialists, colonialists and capitalists had oppressed many countries and peoples in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The United States after World War II became the sole superpower. America and its allies since the end of World War II have dominated and dictated the world, committed so much evil and injustice in the forms of unjust wars of aggression and bloody military interventions, exploited the whole world, and monopolized in economy, finance, trade, diplomacy, currency, military, industry, technology and every field. The United States and European allies and Japan attacked China in the infamous Opium Wars, killed Chinese and occupied some parts of China, robbed and looted China’s national treasures at the market value worth more than US$100,000 trillion dollars. These millions of Chinese treasures but stolen goods are now in display at American, European, Japanese, etc. public museums and private collections. The White Supremacists (Americans and Europeans) used to despise and look down at China and Chinese people. Now the peaceful and spectacular rise of China from abject poverty in the short period of 30 years under the leadership of great Deng Xiaoping has become the number 2 world economy. These White Supremacists are now jealous of China’s great achievement and with fear they spread the lie of China threat and Russia threat. American and Europeans leaders want to maintain the status quo of dominating and dictating the world. So the USA, NATO, EU, Canada, Australia, etc. are showing open hostilities toward China without reason and making false accusations such as calling the COVID-19 the Chinese virus and ludicrously and maliciously want to sue China for compensation… 

For a long time, America, has been serving the interest of the few at the expense of the greatest number of its citizens.

5.  The ultimate test of a nation is not leaving mountain of national debts to the generations to come to pay off. 

The success of a nation is to create national wealth and stability for future generations.  For this reason, the government must practice fiscal responsibility, reduce the national debt and budget deficit, eliminate pork and earmark legislation, reform welfare, change foreign policy of war to peace, make inmates earn their room and board, etc. To use America as an example, by reducing the size of federal government by 3/4,  closing all overseas military bases and disbanding NATO, reducing Medicare and Medicaid by 1/2, reducing the Pentagon and State department by 3/4 , etc. America can become prosperous again. Just as a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, good leaders of a nation must create and leave wealth and order to the people, not leaving enormous deficits and debt and decay to the people and their children. (Pro 13:22 ) To spend trillions of dollars and support executives who caused the economic crisis with billions of dollars by borrowing and printing money is not the right path to prosperity. Further,  the American national debt has exceeded $31 trillion dollars.

Pro 18:5 , “To show partiality to the wicked is not good, nor to thrust aside the righteous in judgment.” 

6.  The single most important factor in measuring prosperity is income as compared to cost of living. 

For that reason, income per capita and average hourly earnings have very limited significance. Income per capita can be pulled up by a few Wall Street funds managers who earn several billion dollars a year; and the same applies to average hourly earnings. Income per capita is not as significant as income of most people, and most people must be explained in percentage of all workers combined. Just income alone without putting cost of living in perspective has little meaning. For example, won’t it be wonderful if most people (say 80% of worker population, excluding children who do not earn) have an annual gross income of  $100,000? 

However, if the model of cost of living breakdown as listed below is real, then it will tell you a meaningless and miserable story: 

Taxes, social security deductions                     $30,000 

* Health insurance                                                18,000 

Mortgage and property tax                                  30,000 

Car and maintenance                                           15,000 

Food & drink                                                            3,000 

Utilities                                                                     2,000                  

Total                                                                       98,000                                                       

*That does not take into account of catastrophic or major illness which can bankrupt you anytime. 

According to report, in February 2011, average hourly earnings rose by a single penny, to $22.87, from $22.86 in January. Average hourly earnings are the most meaningless income indicator. There are a few individuals who earn several billion a year in Wall Street. If you put these individual earnings into hourly earnings and then average them among millions of American workers, they pull up the average hourly earnings.  Purchasing power is a useful concept which has direct meaning to income.  Since dollar has been dropping continuously for quite a few years, those who have fixed income and live overseas are hit with substantial income reductions.   Purchasing power parity must also be taken into account to apply the value of a currency. For example, if cataract surgery will cost you $3,500 in China but it will cost you $20,000 in America, the comparison of relative price levels become very meaningful. 

Value is culturally determined; a different value comes from a different culture . How much value you put on something is greatly influenced by how much a culture values something. For example,  virginity is precious in many countries, but in Western countries girls try to get rid of their virginity as if it were something undesirable. Something becomes transparent and even comical when different people put a price tag on a human. The U.S. government puts the new  $33 million bounty on al Qaeda top leaders head. By the same token, the enemies of America in Somalia offer their own bounty for Obama and Hillary Clinton –   10 camels for Obama and 20 chickens for Clinton. It is clear, of course, that the offer is greatly influenced by a culture that oppresses girls and women and so devalues them.  What you value yourself may be very shockingly different from what your enemies value you. Perhaps the U.S. should offer $33 for the top leaders of al Qaeda not only to save taxpayer money, but to effectively slight them.  There are some things so valuable that money cannot buy; for example, truth, justice and wisdom. 

III． EQUALITY 

Equality is freedom from discrimination. 

Discrimination is a direct violation of equality principle.  Equality does not mean everybody has equal income. Discrimination is a way of life in America. Americans practice many types of  discrimination. Racial discrimination is basic, comprehensive, pervasive, rampant, and systematic. There are types of discrimination which are deep rooted and most destructive.  

Educational discrimination is one which cuts off your future development and career opportunity. For example, a Chinese student with 4.0 was not admitted to a medical school, while a black man with 2.0 told me he was admitted to UCLA Medical School. Educational discrimination puts a glass ceiling on your future; you can go only so far. Top universities in America do not admit students on account of GPA and achievements or merit alone. One nurse told me she knew one female medical student admitted because her father and brother were already doctors at the hospital although her GPA was not good enough. 

Employment discrimination restricts your potential at the present. Without a job, you do not have income. Without income, you do not have means of livelihood. Without means of livelihood, you are poor. Poverty keeps you down and miserable for the rest of your life. Employment discrimination is like cutting off your water and power. A most subtle form of job discrimination is the practice that good-paying job is not available for certain races; only hard and undesirable jobs are available. That discriminatory situation can make a professor a dishwasher or driver. Promotion and recognition can be forms of employment discrimination. For example, an educated, experienced and capable Chinese is not promoted to be the manager or executive, while his supervisor a white man is less qualified with no skills. I used to work for a big corporation; a white man who was a veteran was hired as the manager although he never developed a policy or procedure in his life. He made a statement there was no one in his department who knew how to develop policies and procedures except me, and so every morning he shook hands with me when he arrived at work. Or a black man is promoted because of Affirmative Action. You can verify how many blacks got into good government, business and industry positions on account of Affirmative Action. It is still true in America; there is a glass ceiling for Chinese and other minorities and women for top position. Promotion can also discriminate other white persons. I have known some more qualified and able white persons who did not get promoted on account they were not members of the in-group. Corporate power politics is so rampant in America where vice presidents grab power and budget and select only people they can trust as their lieutenants. No matter what color or race, you are day dreaming if you believe corporation is putting out red carpet in welcoming you all because you got the qualifications and abilities.  

Legal discrimination is using law to select some and reject others and treating some racial group with special rights and privileges. Once I applied for a state job, three persons were selected as top candidates for the open position. I scored the highest, a white man second, and a black man third. Due to Affirmative Action the least qualified black man got the job. Some black business gets government contract or business loan is a form of legal discrimination. Affirmative Action is unfair and should be ruled unconstitutional because it is discriminatory in nature.  When a racial group is favored, all other racial groups are discriminated.  There is neither honor nor justice in Affirmative Action. 

Economic discrimination deals with financial transactions. It used to be in America Chinese could not own land or buy property. Even you have money;  you are not allowed to buy houses in certain white-dominated upper class neighborhoods. Some banks discriminate people by rejecting loans of certain groups. Some banks reject credit application of certain racial groups even though they are creditworthy. Without loan and credit, you cannot do business or expand business – this is a vicious way of restricting your opportunity of success. Equal opportunity does not mean you give credit or loan to everyone. It means everyone can compete on an equal footing. If you fulfill the requirement, you get the opportunity. There were many Chinese who got to be millionaires and billionaires the crooked way. They conspired with corrupt officials to rob the land of peasants at low prices and got huge bank loans to make real estate development and sell villas and high-rise apartments at high prices. Monopoly is a financial and economic discrimination. Those who own vital industries commit predatory practices. For example, in America healthcare industry is a monopoly, and doctors and hospital owners, etc. can charge and defraud the public with impunity. American healthcare system works like an organized syndicate, for that reason it is the most costly in the world and has bankrupted millions of families. Lawyers also practice monopoly in legal fees. Bankers commit predatory practices in paying hardly any interest while charging all kinds of unreasonable fees. Car repairs industry is another form of monopoly which rips off consumers. Government is the biggest monopoly and for that reason politicians, lawmakers, and officials tend to abuse power and misuse public funds to enrich themselves.  

Social discrimination has great ramifications. Exclusive club is a social discrimination. Professional association is not a social  discrimination. Boy scouts for boys and girl scouts for girls are not social discrimination. Rest rooms for men and rest rooms for women are not social discrimination. However, due to different body structure, there may need more female restrooms than male restrooms. Just take a look at the long line of females waiting would help you understand justice is not social discrimination.  In the past, blacks could not ride the same bus with whites or stay at the same hotel was blatant social discriminations. Some blatant forms of social discrimination have been outlawed. A heavy and rough and tough job for man should not be construed as social discrimination. Boxing is an uncivilized sport; it should be banned for both male and female. Whatever job which a female can do as well should not be a social discrimination. You might not believe but most nurses prefer male doctors over female doctors. Most male patients prefer male doctors including me in particular when the female doctor wants to examine your private part. For that reason, it is not social discrimination to have female obstetricians and gynecologists. I honestly believe primary school should not be overwhelmingly dominated by female teachers. A form of social discrimination is insulting in the way department store clerks pay attention to white customers and ignore others, or a restaurant waitresses do the same. It does not bother me if white people do not want to be friends with me for friendship is a private matter. In fact I rejected many white people who want to make friends with me on account of my education, knowledge and abilities. For the same reason I also turned down many Chinese because life is short and I do not want to spend my precious time with people I do not like. It is not social discrimination when a restaurant rejects service to a barefooted, dirty and sloppy customer. It is social discrimination when a member of a professional group is treated differently. I do not like the practice of some corporations: When it is the birthday of an important member within the department, they celebrate his/her birthday with a party or luncheon. They simply do nothing when it is the birthday of lesser important members. In fact, I would not anyone in a corporation to know my birthday and do anything about it. I keep my birthday private and I may not want to attend the birthday luncheon of party of other employees because in a big corporation there are many employees. I think it is proper for a corporation to give an annual Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas party for all employees and forget about individual birthday party. It is not social discrimination when business and first class passengers enjoy club rights and privileges.  To prevent someone who is qualified from renting an apartment anywhere is a social discrimination. 

Political discrimination is based on party affiliation and ideological belief. The most glaring example of political discrimination is the way the United States treats China with arrogance, aggression, provocation and negative attitudes manifested in words and deeds because China has its own political and social system. It is a lie for Carter to say America has pure democracy. Democracy is supposed to serve the greatest interest of the greatest number of peoples. American democracy serves special interests and is ruled by the few. For a long time American democracy has been serving the interest of the few at the expense of the greatest number of citizens. America, EU, NATO, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. practice racial and political discrimination. Guilt by association is also a form of political discrimination. American supremacists and militarists call Putin a Hitler is an example of political discrimination.  

1.    Equality means equal treatment under the law, equal opportunity and equal rights. 

Equality never means equal salary or equal wealth. Equality does not mean an unqualified black student will get into a medical school with GPA 2.0. Affirmative action directly violates equality and therefore is illegal and must be abolished.  When a race or group of people is given special treatment or favoritism or special rights, it means other people are made unequal, abused, mistreated and violated.    The legal system which provides justice to criminals at the expense of the law-abiding citizens is very bad criminal justice system. Under a good criminal justice system, if you are guilty a dream team of defense lawyers would not be able to get you acquitted. If you are innocent, a troop of prosecutors should not be able to find you guilty. All genuine evidence should be admissible. Fake evidence presented by defense or prosecution should suffer consequences. Jury system has been corrupted; it should be replaced by three independent judges. The decree of the majority of judges stands. Capital offense should have one appeal at the accused expense. All convicts should work for their room and board without luxuries of law library, gym, etc. All death penalty must be executed within three months. 

George F. Will   (December 1, 2011）wrote, “A brief submitted by UCLA law professor Richard Sander and legal analyst Stuart Taylor argues that voluminous research refutes the legal premise for such racial classifications: They benefit relatively powerless minorities. 

“Academic mismatch” causes many students who are admitted under a substantial preference based on race, but who possess weaker academic skills, to fall behind. The consequences include especially high attrition rates from the sciences, and self-segregation in less-demanding classes, thereby reducing classroom diversity. Blacks are significantly more integrated across the University of California system than they were before the state eliminated racial preferences in 1996, thereby discouraging enrollment of underprepared minorities in the more elite institutions. 

Sander and Taylor report : “Research suggests a similar pattern nationally; scholars have found that the use of large racial preferences by elite colleges has the effect of reducing diversity at second-tier schools.” Another study showed that even if eliminating racial preferences in law schools would mean 21 percent fewer black matriculants, there would still be no reduction in the number of blacks who graduate and pass the bar exam. 

A second brief , submitted by three members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (Gail Heriot, Peter Kirsanow and Todd Gaziano), argues that racial preferences in law school admissions mean fewer black lawyers than there would be without preferences that bring law students into elite academic settings where their credentials put them in the bottom of their classes. A similar dynamic is reducing the number of minority scientists and engineers than there would be under race-neutral admissions policies. 

There are fewer minorities entering high-prestige careers than there would be if preferences were not placing many talented minority students in inappropriate, and discouraging, academic situations: “Many would be honor students elsewhere. But they are subtly being made to feel as if they are less talented than they really are.” This is particularly so regarding science and engineering, which are, as Heriot, Kirsanow and Gaziano say, “ruthlessly cumulative”: Students who struggle in entry-level classes will find their difficulties cascading as the academic ascent becomes steeper. Hence the high attrition rates.” 

Racial preferences are wrong even if they produce intended results because it is unfair and unlawful to give preference to any group of people based on race. Therefore,   Affirmative Action violates justice and should be abolished without delay. 

I differ strongly with the American media and people who declare M. L. King Jr.’s dream is only half-realized. I hold opinion that M. L. King’s Jr’s dream is the most dangerous and detrimental dream to black Americans. King’s dream is a nightmare to blacks and other Americans. MLK’s dream is not the American dream. Rights without responsibilities and morality guarantee to ruin any people. True, MLK had got many rights and privileges for blacks including Affirmative Action. Under Affirmative Action, how many undeserving and unworthy blacks got into high positions in government, military, business and industry, education, banking, media, medicine, law, sports, entertainment, etc. at the expense of injustice to other more worthy individuals. Why? Facts can substantiate this thesis. After spending more than $6 trillion dollars by federal, state and local governments in helping black Americans since the Johnson’s Great Society, the situation of black Americans not only has not improved, it gets worse and worse. Truth is offensive; but I stand only for truth and justice. Facts to prove it: 

(1).    The black prison population has increased, not decreased, since M. L. King, Jr. preached his political and social gospel. 

(2).   The population of black single-parent families and children without fathers has increased, not decreased. 

(3).    The population of blacks receiving welfare, Medicaid, food stamps, and other public assistance has increased, not decreased. 

(4).    The population of blacks involving in drug trafficking and drug addiction and prostitution has increased, not decreased. 

(5).    The population of unemployed and unemployable blacks has increased, not decreased. 

(6).    The population of black gangs and delinquents has increased, not decreased. 

(7).    The population of black student dropouts has increased, not decreased. 

(8).    The population of black women and black teenagers getting pregnant out of wedlock has increased, not decreased. 

(9).    Cities managed by black mayors are no model cities of good management, but models of corrupt governments; among many include Washington, D.C. 

(10).    M. L. King, Jr. was reported and certified by FBI not a morally responsible person; it is doubly bad for black people to cover up the sins and shortcomings of their leaders, politicians and preachers as if they were justified or can be excused or exempt.  

I wish black Americans well. Here are some suggestions for black Americans, in fact for any racial groups, who sincerely want to improve themselves: 

(1).    Do not expect what your country can do for you, do something right for yourself. 

(2).    Do not expect any right or privilege or special treatment just because you are black or minority, do your duty and responsibility. 

(3).    Do not expect anything be given to you free; earn everything you get the old-fashioned way. 

(4).    Do not rely on Affirmative Action; believe in the merit of your own action. 

(5).    Do not make people fear of your presence; make yourself a civilized and positive influence in your community. 

(6).    Do not believe crime pays; believe hard work, thrift and morality will benefit you. 

(7).    Do not excuse or justify yourself when you commit a crime and do something wrong on account you were born underprivileged or socially disabled. 

(8).    Do not discriminate against other races just as you do not want to be discriminated. Affirmative Action is inherently unfair and unlawful.   When a racial group is given special rights and treatment, all others suffer injustice. 

Michael A. Fletcher (December 6, 2011) reported, “The average income of the richest tenth of the population in OECD countries is about nine times that of the poorest tenth, the report said. The United States, Turkey and Israel have among the largest ratios between the incomes of those at the top and the bottom, roughly 14 to 1. Germany, Denmark and Sweden have among the lowest — 6 to 1 — but the ratios are up from the 1980s. The gaps in Chile and Mexico have been declining but remain the highest among OECD members, at more than 25 to 1. Overall, inequality among working Americans has risen 25 percent since 1980, the report said. In 2008, the average annual income of the top 10 percent of Americans was $114,000, nearly 15 times higher than that of the bottom 10 percent… The share of income going to the nation’s richest 1 percent more than doubled between 1980 and 2008, rising from 8 percent to 18 percent, the report said. The richest 1 percent of Americans make an average of $1.3 million in after-tax income, compared with $17,700 for the bottom 20 percent.” 

OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria said, “The social contract is starting to unravel in many countries. This study dispels the assumptions that the benefits of economic growth will automatically trickle down to the disadvantaged and that the greater inequality fosters greater social mobility. Without a comprehensive strategy for inclusive growth, inequality will continue to rise.” 

Reaganomics was wrong. Reagan was the president for the rich.  Among inequality the greatest is income inequality.  Income inequality makes equal justice impossible. In most cases, higher income does not mean higher education, qualification and ability. Wall Street funds managers can earn billions just by gambling on investor money. Whether they gamble successfully or not, they always make big money. Income should tie to productivity. In America, the most unproductive people earn the largest income. The reason doctors, hospital owners, dentists and lawyers are filthy rich is because of their monopolistic and predatory and fraudulent    practices with impunity. With the realization of the 1 percent of population controlling 99 percent emerged in America the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 and spreads to many nations.   The mass movement has failed because it did not have a strong leader of character and courage and without programs to implement and goals to achieve. The 1,000 richest Americans have more money than the 1 billion poorest peoples in the world.  To give tax cuts to the rich and powerful makes income inequality worse, and makes social justice impossible. 

There are many corrupt and wicked practices in every nation on earth. These corrupt and wicked practices are not peculiar only to China; however, to realize the Chinese dream or China dream, they must be eliminated by the power of law. Doctors, officials, teachers, managers and other professionals earn wages and they are supposed to do their duties. After they have done their duties, they should not expect and do not deserve to receive any   gift or present from the public. Doctors must comply with medical ethics and after they have performed surgeries, patients or family of patients have no need to send expensive gifts to doctors. For doctors, officials, teachers, supervisors and others to receive extra gifts or presents in addition to their salaries are corrupt and wicked practices.  Any professional or official who receives gift or present in relation to their position and job function should be fired and penalized severely by law. It is immoral, unethical, uncivilized and wrong for doctors, teachers, officials, managers, etc. to expect or demand gifts or presents from their subordinates or the public. China dream is to facilitate in building a clean and good society with truth and justice for all. 

Discrimination is a violation of equality principle. Racism is a form of discrimination. 

Racism is a fact of life in America. Racial discrimination in American society is a universal practice of many forms, including employment, promotion, education, housing, contract, social treatment, medical treatment, financing, business and industry, facilities, etc. Discrimination is not only a dirty word, it is an ugly deed. I have experienced and encountered white professors and classmates, corporate executives and administrators, government officials and lawyers, doctors and nurses, engineers and technicians, professionals and non-professionals, old and young, males and females, believers and non-believers, ministers and church members; etc. all my life. Usually white people exhibit a superior air of arrogance, a repugnant sense of racial superiority; those who discriminate treat others as inferiors and other Americans as second class citizens. This is the perennial dilemma of Asian Americans: although you were born in America or having lived in America all your life, the whites who think of themselves as native sons and daughters treat you like foreigners (outsiders) or second-class citizens. Although most blacks are descendants of slaves also think of themselves as natives and consider other minorities as foreigners. When blacks are in position of power, they exhibit even more virulent, vicious, pernicious and malicious form of racism. Most blacks in America act and talk as if they were entitled to special treatment. Some Chinese Americans want to avoid disclosure of their identity by adopting names such as Locke, Lincoln, etc. On surface, Chinese who use such names deliberately seek to identify with Caucasians. However, when they appear in person they cannot cover up their Chinese features and accent. God has given me very sharp ears. I can tell on the phone whether a person is white, southern white, black, Asian, Latino, European, Indian or Pakistani, etc. without seeing. Racial divide is very deep and destructive in America. Racism is a timed bomb sooner or later will explode in America in a deadly manner. I had watched two most brutal and deadly racial riots in Los Angeles. If you are a female minority, you may fare even worse – double discrimination. I have a female colleague who holds a CPA degree; all her supervisors including the V.P. of finance do not have a CPA. I advised her to ignore American discrimination as a fact of life and focus her life on something more worthwhile. If she dwells on discrimination, she would not be able to live a happy life. One of my most satisfied side-line experiences was to lecture at some major Chinese universities during my vacation. In America well educated and able minorities usually work for white supervisors. I know a Chinese American who applied for a state position: There were selected three most qualified candidates. The Chinese was the most qualified and best educated, the white was above average, the black was the least educated and least qualified of the three, but the black got the job. Racism and racial discrimination among other things are characteristics of a bad society. I believe in Scandinavia gender discrimination is almost non-existent among whites; I cannot say the same about discrimination against other races. 

2.   Extremism is an indicator of inequality, for example extreme wealth and abject poverty. 

Income disparity also reflects the gap between the rich and the poor, for example some individuals earn several billions a year while millions earn minimum wages. American capitalism is inherently corrupt. It produced the most blatant and greedy moneyed interest that created the Savings & Loan scandal some years ago, the infamous corporate scandal by firms such as Enron, etc., and the current economic and financial crisis started by Wall Street, bank, mortgage, insurance and big firms. The Bible says:  

Pro 28:21 , “To show partiality is not good, because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.” Greedy capitalists and supremacists for billions of dollars will sell their souls to the devil. 

3.   Regarding gender equality in terms of education, employment, income, social standing, etc.,   Scandinavia would score highest or the best in the world. 

When a nation achieves a high standard of civilization, gender, race, class, etc. would not even be considered.   The Scripture says:  

Psa 106:3 , “How blessed are those who keep justice, who practice righteousness at all times!” 

Note: Justice in Hebrew is mishpat which means right cause; right judgment; right measure; just verdict; lawful order; that which is just and lawful; administration of what is just and impartial; – which occurs 426 times in the Old Testament.  Righteousness in Hebrew is tsĕdaqah which means justice; righteous acts; truthfulness; justification; moral rightness; rectitude; acts of justice; virtue; – which occurs 167 times in the Old Testament. God demands peoples and nations to keep justice and practice righteousness at all times. Do you really believe the United States of America, or any nation, keeps justice and practices righteousness at all times? Let you be the judge. Open your eyes and see and hear what America is doing to the world!

IV． CIVILITY 

Civility is freedom from barbarity. 

It takes a lifetime to make this discovery: There are infinite ways that human beings can make themselves uncivilized and unpleasant; just as crookedness is unlimited. A little story will illustrate the point. Two Chinese girls went to study in America. The college assigned them as roommates at a dormitory. One was a self-conceited woman who acted as if she were a “princess.” She was so arrogant and looked down at everybody. She exhibited negative attitudes toward others. She was abusive and told other girls to do her bidding. The other girl was harmless like a lamb. As the Chinese saying goes, “A good horse is ridden, and a good person is bullied.” The ugly duckling would abuse the little lamb to do things for her, such as taking her underwear from washing machine, washed her dishes, brought her key or books, etc. She would also shout and yell at her. She was shamelessly mean and selfish and wanted to take advantage of others. For example the innocent girl rented a student car for transportation; she refused to pay her share and wanted a free ride. She was doing things her way at the inconvenience of others. She turned the heater so hot that the other girl could not breathe. She was so domineering that the other girl had to avoid her and sleep on a sofa at the student center. When a Chinese man who recommended her to college rebuked her for her unruly behavior, she reported to her father and her father called and blamed and yelled at the innocent girl. Like father, like daughter. There is also a Chinese saying, “The wicked makes false accusation first.” This unpleasant woman told the college authority that her roommate ruined her reputation by telling about her behavior. A rotten egg blames others for its stinking smell. 

Uncivilized behavior produces conflicts between individuals and nations. 

Conflict between two individuals produces consequences between two persons. Conflicts between nations produce consequences between nations. The conflicts of the world are manifested as follows: 

(1). The United States has oppressed and suppressed China since the infamous Opium Wars, looted China’s national treasures, robbed China’s territories and killed Chinese people. The West including Japan had robbed and looted China’s national treasures since the Opium Wars amounts to at market value US$100,000 trillion dollars, not counting years of interest. The United States intensified its hostilities against China in 1949 by sending the 7th Fleet to protect the defeated Chiang Kai-shek’s regime and thus prevented Taiwan from reunification with Mainland China. American leaders passed the illegal so-called US-Taiwan Relations Act in 1979 signed by Carter who is a self-proclaimed born again Christian to colonize Taiwan and sell costly and deadly weapons so that Chinese may kill Chinese. American leaders are so arrogant and abusive and oppressive that they think, speak and act as if they are the dictators of the world. The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act does NOT provide a legal basis for the unofficial and unholy relationship between the United States and Taiwan; it is only demonstrative and indicative of American aggression and provocation. Taiwanese leaders are traitors and running dogs of American imperialism. American leaders in 1971 violated China’s sovereignty by illegally giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. America, UK, Australia, Canada, etc. financed the terrorists in Hong Kong trying to topple the Hong Kong government. America, EU, UK, Australia, Canada tried to create unrest and terror in Xinjiang by falsely charging China committed genocide, forced labor, abuses of human rights in Xinjiang.

There is not one American leader, politician, lawmaker, official and American media who tells the truth about China’s Diaoyu Islands. Adding insult to injury, crime upon crime and sin upon sin and iniquity upon iniquity, Obama declared to defend Japan against China. American leaders have more than 800 overseas military bases to target and encircle China. The United States deploys more than 65 percent of its armed forced in Asia Pacific in terms of fleets, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, war planes, radars, missiles and anti-missiles, and more than  330,000 troops stationed at China’s doorsteps intended to launch surprised attacks against China’s nuclear capabilities. 

American leaders since the end of World War II have killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the globe in hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions instigated and conducted by the U.S. American leaders have proven themselves to be liars and killers as defined by Jesus Christ as sons of the devil. Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” American leaders can never fool God. Although they had fooled the world before, they can no longer fool the world in instant news. American leaders do evil in a most hypocritical way. When American leaders want to expand to Asia Pacific they call it re-balancing Asia. Although according to its Monroe Doctrine, America has no legal right or legitimate interest in Asia Pacific.  The South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, etc. all belong to China long before America, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam and all other nations existed. Just as America is for Americans, Asia is for Asians. American leaders, blinded by unholy ambition of world domination, get lost in the world; they apparently do not know their place in the world is in North America. American leaders are deceivers and dividers of the world. The blackest lie promoted by American leaders (and their running dogs) is the China threat theory. In fact, America is the no. 1 threat to the peace and security of the world since the end of World War II. The evil deeds done by American leaders since the end of World War II speak volumes against American leaders. Only God knows all the secrets, abuses, atrocities, evil deeds, violations of law, lies and murders committed by American leaders. American leaders are most skillful in distortion of facts. American leaders and its running dogs are the aggressors. Action speaks louder than lies. China does not attack any nation or occupies one inch of foreign territory. China does not have one overseas military base or single troop to target and encircle America. 

Chinese leaders and Chinese people must not be fooled by American delusion or illusion or pretending good will. All so-called military exchanges and cooperation are camouflage of American aggression and intention for China’s destruction. From Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson to Obama – American leaders want to destroy China and seek opportunity and pretext to carry out their evil scheme. Only President Richard Nixon assured Chairman Mao that he would not attack China because Nixon sought a just and lasting peace for the world. 

(2).    Japan. 

The current prime minister   and   Japanese officials deny their war crimes, genocide of killing 50 million peoples (35 million Chinese and 15 million Asians), sex slavery of hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Korean young women, and unprecedented atrocities and brutalities committed in history of mankind. The Japanese leader could not answer the two simple questions: 

A. If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan,  why Japanese government had to pretentiously buy it? 

B. If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan, why Japanese government had to nationalize it? 

No nation ever bought and nationalized its own territory.  The thief has a guilty conscience to cover up his evil deeds. 

American leaders are arming and aiding to re-militarize Japan. Japan is expert in distorting facts and trampling on truth. Japan is changing its peace constitution into war constitution, making and selling weapons of death. American leaders are responsible for repeating the history of Japanese aggression and imperial expansion. American leaders are responsible for not executing the Japanese emperor who was the number one war criminal. American leaders are responsible if war breaks out between China and Japan. American leaders are responsible for incurring a global nuclear war if the U.S. defends Japan against China. It is a shame that the U.S. is on the wrong side of history in supporting Japan the war crime nation that revised history to whitewash its inglorious past and Japanese leaders who glorify and worship their convicted and executed war criminals enshrined as national heroes and true gods. America does not condemn Japan who irresponsibly dumps toxic nuclear waste and contaminated water into the Pacific. If you would count all the atrocities, brutalities and cruelties committed by Japanese troops in 14 years of war against the Chinese one by one, there may be trillions of them, only God can count them. The day is coming when the Righteous God will settle account with the pagan Japan.

(3).   Imperialism and terrorism. 

American imperialism and Islamic terrorism account for 99 percent of all troubles, problems, distresses, difficulties, injustice and atrocity, death and destruction in the world. Let American leaders and people wake up to the unthinkable facts why America must not have war with China: 

(A). The numbers are against America. 

America is able to kill 1 billion Chinese, but there will still be 400  million  Chinese worldwide. China is able to kill 350 million Americans, and there will be not one American left in the world. 

(B). America cannot conduct proxy wars against China. 

The war will not be fought in China or lands of American allies. China alone can launch massive nuclear retaliations  against mainland America by land, sea, sky and space that no missiles or anti-missiles can protect or save America from total destruction. Not to say Russia, Pakistan and other nations will not sit idle when they realize what is at stake. 

(C). There will be like one million 9-11 incidents taking place in America and one million Sodom(s) burning all over the United States; and all American vital interests worldwide will be destroyed. 

(D). There will be no winner, only losers  and the end of the world. Should Americans die for Japs? It is up to American leaders and people to decide. 

(E). It will be peace and prosperity if America abandons empire and gives up world domination and ceases to target and treat  Russia and  China as enemies. China is no enemy of any nation except some nations want to make China their enemy.  Bad leaders and warmongers and terrorists are behind all the problems and troubles in the world today. 

American people and peace-loving peoples of the world, your action or inaction will determine the destiny of the world. Choose life and not death! Jesus Christ is coming again soon to judge the world and reign with the saints forever and ever. 

The major premise, the minor premise, and the conclusion of the following presentation are Biblical and correct. 

1.   All Christians tell the truth. 

2.   You tell lies. 

3.   Therefore you are not a Christian. 

Jesus Christ defines liars and killers as children of the devil.   Jhn 8:44 , “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” 

There is not one American leader, politician, lawmaker, and official who tells the truth about China’s Diaoyu Islands.  What is the truth? 

In 1971 the United States violated China’s sovereignty by illegally giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan.  

Is it possible that all American leaders and politicians are liars? God cannot be mocked, and the Word of God cannot be broken. 

Furthermore, American leaders have told   the blackest and biggest lie of the century by repeatedly saying China is a threat to peace and security in Asia Pacific. If China is a threat, how come China does not occupy or attack any country under any pretense? On the contrary, the United States supports Japan, etc. (who are American allies) to make false claims to China’s territories in   the South China Sea and the East China Sea in order to loot China’s resources.  

If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan, why Japan had to    pretentiously buy and nationalize the islands. No nation ever bought and nationalized its own territory. Why the United States has to say it does not take a position on the sovereignty of the islands? The thief has a guilty conscience. 

However, American leader Obama at first said the U.S. took no position on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Island. And later he changed and said America will defend Japan against China. The truth becomes clear and self-evident, some outsiders are the real threat to China and to peace and security in Asia Pacific. 

Why does the United States which is located in North America implement “pivot to Asia” policy? 

(1). According to American Monroe Doctrine, the U.S. has no legal right or legitimate interest to be in Asia Pacific. Just as America belongs to the Americans and so Asia belongs to the Asians. 

(2). The United States has abused, attacked, oppressed and suppressed China since the infamous Opium Wars, intensified in 1949 to the present. 

(3). The United States has many overseas military bases to encircle and target China with 65 percent of its armed forces including fleets, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, war planes, radars, missiles and anti-missiles, and more than 330,000 troops  stationed at China’s doorsteps pending to launch surprised attacks to destroy China’s nuclear capabilities. 

(4). The U.S. cannot compete with China in economy and finance and trade (the U.S. has huge annual budget deficits and the largest national debt in history of mankind exceeding $28 trillion) and so the U.S. out of fear and envy wants to destroy China to maintain its sole superpower status, dictatorship and domination of the world. 

(5).   The U.S. is the greatest threat to China and to the peace-loving nations of the world today, as well as the aggressor, the warmonger, the law breaker, and the international bully.  This is not a secret.

Truth offends people, in particular, enemies of truth. 

There are ample facts and proofs and mountain of evidence for  what the United States has done since the end of World War II. 

All the lies and murders committed by the United States are for the pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world domination. The price is costly and eternal, everlasting punishment in Hell. 

An Immoral Economic Theory and Practice brings America to the dire situation: 

(1).   Huge budget deficits and national debt exceeding $28 trillion  because America is held hostage by special interests, ruled and run by and for special interests (such as the industrial-military-security complex, etc.) and the drain and waste of national resources on weaponry and foreign unjust wars and preparations for wars. 

(2). The shrinking of the middle class due to scarcity of decent-wage jobs because corporations become lean and mean and not hiring. 

(3). Virtually there is no wage growth in a few existent decent jobs due to the fact that   all corporate profits go to top executives. Executives make so much that most workers make so little. 

(4) The excessive, fraudulent and exorbitant health care costs    created by greedy, fraudulent and predatory practices of doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance executives, lab and medical suppliers for decades without government control and with impunity. 

(5). The asinine and absurd tuition prices make an average American youth dream of a higher education impossible. Since education is the only path to a quality of life, most of the American population is getting poorer and poorer in a society full of discrimination and hardly any opportunity of getting ahead. 

(6). The decadence and destructiveness of the American way of life    driven by the love of money, power and sex sees the handwriting on the wall. 

(7). The perennial conflict, division and paralysis of the government  caused by the various factions and self-serving groups and compounded by lack of good leadership and wrong policy like “pivot to Asia”, “containment of China” and pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world domination cause the state ship to drift and head for the rocks. 

I do not believe Obama is a Christian judging by his owns words and deeds; but if he says he is a Muslim, I would believe it. I could not believe any American leader who lies and kills can be a Christian which is contrary to the teaching of Jesus Christ. 

What would a Christian American president do?  At least the following: 

(1). Apologize to China for the U.S. government in 1971 violated China’s sovereignty by illegally giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the war crime nation of Japan, and order Japan to return Diaoyu Islands to China immediately with apology and compensation. 

(2). Apologize to China for the U.S. sending 7th Fleet in 1949 to prevent Taiwan from reunification with Mainland China, and cancel the US-Taiwan Relations Act and return Taiwan to China. 

(3). Cease all subversive activities in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet and Taiwan. 

(4). Close all overseas military bases in Asia Pacific by withdrawing all American armed forces, stop encircling China and Russia and disband NATO. 

(5). Return all China’s national treasures looted and robbed from China since the infamous Opium Wars and now displaying in American public museums (like Smithsonian Institution) and many private museums across America. 

(6). Stop NSA spying activities and American interventions and interferences in other nations’ internal affairs and cease all military exercises. 

(7). Change the American empire back to a respectable Republic and copy President Nixon in seeking a just and lasting peace for the world. 

On April 23, 2014 Obama, the president of the United States, reiterated that America would defend Japan against China over  Diaoyu Islands. This is tantamount to an informal declaration of war  against China. This was a day of infamy in American history of aggression. Clearly,  Obama was the no. 1 Chinese enemy and the United States is the no. 1 enemy of China.  The U.S. by raw force robbed China’s Diaoyu Islands and illegally gave administrative control to the enemy of China and war crime nation of Japan defines American aggressor, warmonger, trouble-maker, oppressor and the international bully. Obama declared China’s Diaoyu Islands fall into the perimeter of US-Japan defense treaty.   Let 1.45 billion strong Chinese world-wide rise up to back the Chinese government and defend the motherland. Obama’s “pivot to Asia” policy is American naked expansion and aggression and pursuit of world domination because the U.S. is located in North America. 

American unilateralism means whatever illegal acts done by America and its allies are considered legal; and whatever legal acts done by other nations which are not American running dogs are considered illegal. By its own Monroe Doctrine the U.S. has no legal right or legitimate interest to dominate Asia Pacific. American leaders seem get lost in the world and do not know where their place is in the world. Is there any leader more wicked or any nation more evil than the United States? First the U.S. in 1971 violated China’s sovereignty by unlawfully giving administrative control of China’s   Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. Diaoyu Islands belong to China long before the U.S., Japan and other rat and rogue nations existed. The war crime nation of Japan and its co-conspirator the U.S. and its running dogs all demonstrate their wickedness, shamelessness, immorality and iniquity in making false claims to China’s territories. The Axis of Evil led by America is the no. 1 threat to peace and security in the world.  The American secretary of defense was in China recently and said America and China are friends. The distortion and deception of American leaders is compounded by hypocrisy and moral degradation. China would be better off without such kind of “friend” that encircles China with 60 percent of American weaponry and more than 33,000 troops stationed at China’s doorsteps. If Japan is a bad demon, Philippines is a dirty demon, the U.S. is the devil behind of all China’s troubles.  Since 1949 American leaders have continuously executed “containment of China” policy with a brief break during the Nixon’s administration. The leaders of the anti-China party (DPP) organized student riots under false pretenses but indeed intended to seek Taiwan independence and separation from China. China is forced to liberate Taiwan without further delay. Indeed China can do many things: 

( 1 ). Declare to use nuclear weapons on any aggressor or violator of China’s sovereignty or territorial integrity. 

( 2 ). There are many other tit for tat measures such as … which Chinese leaders know and can do. 

The American leaders, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, had been contemplating to use atomic bombs in China, and from then to the present seemingly to launch surprised attacks on China’s nuclear capabilities. 

Jesus Christ says,  

Mat 26:52 ,“Then Jesus said to him: Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.” 

American leaders have been practicing all wars in foreign lands and fighting proxy wars. They can use the dumb allies to die for Americans. American leaders miscalculate the war against China will not be fought in China. China is able to launch massive nuclear retaliations targeting the whole Unite States mainland from California to New York by land, sea, sky, and space. This will not be the war to end all wars; this will be the war to end America, China, and the world.  

Rev 11:15 , “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” In the end of the world, Jesus Christ will come and reign with the saints forever and ever. 

In 1971  the United States violated China’s sovereignty by illegally and unlawfully giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan, not only American leaders did not repent of their crimes and sins, now they declare the U.S. will defend Japan against China! American leaders have proven themselves to be liars and killers since the end of World War II; and Jesus Christ defines   liars and killers    as children of the devil. 

The state of the world is not good, very bad and very dangerous in 2021  all because there are two evil forces running amok and at work to dominate and destroy the world. Ninety-nine percent of all the problems and troubles and miseries in the world are caused and created by imperialism, militarism and terrorism. 

(1). The leaders of the United States have been proven liars and killers since the end of World War II who have killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world in hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions aimed to dominate and dictate the world.  In 1949 America protected the defeated regime of Chiang Kai-shek by sending the 7th Fleet and thus prevented Taiwan from reunification with Mainland China. Adding insult to injury and iniquity, American leaders passed the illegal US-Taiwan Relations Act signed by Carter (a self-proclaimed born-again Christian) to justify selling costly and deadly weapons to Taiwan so that the Chinese may kill Chinese. Since 1949 the leaders of Taiwanese regime have been running dogs of America. 

(2).  In 1959 America backed Dalai Lama in an armed rebellion to separate Tibet from China, he failed and fled, and ever since Dalai has been the highest paid foreign agent to divide and destabilize China. In 1971 America violated China’s sovereignty by illegally and unlawfully giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. Not one American leader, lawmaker or American media has moral character and courage to tell the truth about Diaoyu Islands. If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan, why would Japanese government pretentiously buy and nationalize its territory? Japanese leaders deny their war crimes and genocide of killing 50 million peoples (35 million Chinese and 15 million Asians), making sex slaves of hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Korean young women, and unprecedented atrocities and brutalities in the history of mankind. Japanese leaders revised history textbooks to whitewash their inglorious past and change constitution of peace to constitution of war. Japanese leaders claim to be the victims of World War II, not aggressors, and they want to build atomic bombs to pay back the United States. Japan is making and selling weapons of mass destruction to re-militarize a “great Nippon” in order to dominate Asia. Yet the American leaders back and declare to defend Japan over Diaoyu Islands against China.   The United States in on the wrong side of history since the end of World War II.  American war against China will trigger a global nuclear war that will end the world for sure. 

(3).  American dirty tricks and dirty hands are seen everywhere in inciting riots and rebellions in Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang and Taiwan. America is behind all the conflicts and troubles in Iraq, Syria, Libya and many parts of the world, and now in Ukraine. America is the divider of the world, the trouble maker and oppressor, the international bully, the distorter of facts, the violator of sovereignty of many nations, the violator of international law, the manipulator economic and financial matters, the no. 1 maker and seller of weapons of mass destruction, the no. 1 deficits and debtor nation in the world, the great deceiver. Japanese leaders are pagans and idol worshipers, by nature they are liars and killers. The irony is almost all American leaders (civil and military) claim to be Christians, this is pure evil compounded by hypocrisy. It is not known whether American people are aware America is committing suicide and their leaders are leading them to Hell and leading the world to destruction.  You better believe what the Bible says,  

Rev 21:8, “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” The second death means eternal death with torture. 

American leaders are deep-seated liars and masters of practicing distortion and deception. Whenever they want to do evil in order to dominate the world, they always lift up the high the banner of security and stability, democracy, freedom, rule of law, justice, etc. Chinese people must not just listen to their seductive words but watch out their clear acts. They say American “pivot to Asia” policy is to promote security and stability in the region. Oh, the devil is in disguise of the angel of light. Why does not the U.S. promote stability and security in North America and Latin America? The countries of Latin America hate American domination and hegemonism. According to the American Monroe Doctrine, the U.S. has no legal right or legitimate interest in Asia Pacific. The United States is located in North America, not in Asia Pacific. American leaders seem to get lost in the world and do not know their place. Why does not the U.S. admit their violation of China’s sovereignty in 1971 by unlawfully and illegally giving the administrative control of  China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan? Why do American leaders say they will defend Japan against China because China’s Diaoyu Islands fall within the perimeter of US-Japan defense treaty? Abnormally strange! If the U.S. is not the greatest enemy of China, how do you explain since the Opium Wars, intensified in 1949 and the US-Taiwan Relations Act to arm Taiwan so that Chinese may kill Chinese, American leaders support of Dalai Lama to separate Tibet from China, attack of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, execution all sorts of sanctions, provocations and threatening warnings, encircling China through American Asian allies, with most of American military forces, fleets, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, war planes, radars, missile- destroying warships, missiles and anti-missiles, and more than 330,000 troops stationed at China’s doorsteps and arming Japan and Australia in preparation to have war against China? This is what American leaders call re-balancing in Asia by overwhelming forces on American side!   The words of American leaders are belied and betrayed by their own deeds. Action speaks louder of American aggression, arrogance, provocation and ill will towards China. Since the end of World War II, American leaders had killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the globe through the unjust wars and blood military interventions. Jesus Christ defines liars and killers as children of the devil.  

Jhn 8:44,“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” Just as you cannot trust the devil, the same you cannot trust the sons of the devil. 

Chinese leaders are not blind. The 1.45 billion strong Chinese worldwide are not blind. China needs to declare its “mutual destruction” policy to deter American aggression, and Japanese and Philippines aggression supported by America. Only the following  three things  if American leaders have done then will deserve Chinese trust:  

(1).    Order Japan to return Diaoyu Islands to China with apology and compensation and without further delay.  

(2).    Cancel the illegal US-Taiwan Relations Act, stop selling weapons to Taiwan and withdraw any relation with Taiwan except trade.  

(3).   Stop interfering or intervening in China’s internal affairs. 

China needs to make clear its “mutual destruction” policy because that is the only effective deterrence available. The United States wants to have a dragged out and prolonged war with China using its allies and fight the war in Mainland China. Once the U.S. attacks China, China will be forced to execute “mutual destruction” policy with massive nuclear retaliations targeting the whole mainland America which will be worse than 1 million 9-11 incidents  and America will be burning worse than 1 million Sodom(s) and Gomorrah(s) and vital American interests worldwide will be destroyed completely. 

Jer 13:23, “Can the Ethiopian change his skin  Or the leopard his spots?  Then you also can do good  Who are accustomed to doing evil.” 

Just as a leopard does not change its black spots, there is not one single slightest evidence that American leaders will change their negative attitudes, arrogance and aggression in pursuit of absolute military supremacy and bent on world domination and dictatorship. Since the end of World War II, American leaders have been proven liars and killers. Obama’s “pivot to Asia” policy is pivot to Hell  because the  Axis of evil led by the United States is the no. 1 threat to world  security today; the second threat is Islamic terrorism. It is the blackest lie to say China is a threat to the region. China in its peaceful rise is no threat to any nation. China does not covet one inch of any country, but some nations encouraged by American imperialist are making false claims to China’s territories long before those nations existed. To say North Korea is a threat to America 10,000 miles away is not only a joke of morons, but a vicious lie. How can a poor and starving nation be a threat to the sole superpower ten thousand miles away? The missiles of North Korea can not go that far. If unchanged, American leaders are leading the world to death and destruction. 

Consequently,  I have to readjust my statistical conclusion: out of millions of peoples I have met and observed in various parts of the world (I did not go to undesirables parts), there are less than  0.1 percent of them are interesting and pleasant peoples. For that reason the world is such a bad and miserable place. Good news, Jesus Christ has prepared a place for you and me; and I am on my pilgrimage to the Celestial City, the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.  Jesus Christ is coming again soon to receive all believers to the place – the Paradise of God. 

Most of the problems in this world are caused by human beings. Human beings are the biggest problems of the world. Bad people makes bad society. Bad leaders make bad countries.  Laws are necessary for bad people. In many nations lawmakers are the corrupt people. Laws are necessary for bad leaders; but in many countries bad leaders are the laws. In some countries it is a costly exercise of futility to impeach the president; Clinton is a proof.  Bad leaders cause the ruin of the world. Bad leaders are the agents of the devil who create wars, destruction, injustice, famine, and abject poverty. 

1.  Civility is freedom from barbarity and vulgarity; it is observable and verifiable. 

To appreciate and measure civility, the understanding of culture is paramount. There are   two types of culture:  the superior and the inferior. Inferior cultures are characterized by violence, greed, deceit, corruption, incivility, laziness, uncleanliness, waste, dissipation, immorality, and short view of life.  Superior cultures    are characterized by wisdom, compassion, honesty, integrity, industry, civility, cleanliness, discipline, thrift, virtue, and long view of life. Superior culture is synonymous with the Protestant ethic.  As superior people create superior culture, so inferior people create inferior culture. 

Some uncivilized behavior is tied to an inferior culture. Once I caught a boy began to urinate on a subway train, approved by his shameless grandmother and relatives. Another time I witnessed a boy urinating near an elevator, approved by his grandmother. Some uncivilized conduct of the young is tied to their uneducated and foolish elders. Once I saw a grandmother pushing a shopping cart with her grandson on it on an escalator in a supermarket, the old woman played the feat jovially of lifting the front part of the shopping cart high up while climbing; this dumb behavior can easily cause an accident. Another time I saw a young couple from countryside, their daughter was vomiting on the subway train, and the vomits had a foul and sour smell. They just let the unsightly vomitus on the floor of the train, having no intention or sense of duty to do the cleanup. Uncultured parents and stupid elderly relatives are the promoters of the uncivilized conduct of members of their younger generation. 

Pardon me for making an analogy which may sound offensive, but it is true if you think deeply about it:  Incivility is like a dirty toilet, civility is a beautiful garden. A nation or an individual has a choice what to be. 

Who said children are too young to be assessed whether they are civilized or not? As I have told you about the most civilized children of Denmark in The Theory of Good Society . On September 26, 2013 on my visit to Hangzhou again, I observed something most attractive and remarkable. I met an about 3-year old Chinese girl belonging to the genre of Shirley Temple. As I was sitting under a big tree by the West Lake and I saw a pretty little Chinese girl taking a walk along the West Lake pedestrian street. She put her two hands on her lower back and taking a stroll by herself. She did not yell or say anything. She simply walked and looked and beamed. But her way of walking was royal and gracious and the way she moved her head and feet commanded admiration. I recalled when I was in America (Orange County); I met a young woman at a department store who walked not only graciously but most beautifully that I have never met anyone like that before and ever since. The look of this little Chinese princess was noble and enchanting as if she is conducting a personal tour in her kingdom. I did not see her parents or relatives around her. She was completely by herself, full of self confidence, calm, composed, natural and gifted. She did not bother any one; she just did her own thing with dignity and beauty, completely oblivious to what others were saying or doing.  

There is a clear difference and distinction between incivility and criminality; and also difference between a stupidly uncivilized and wickedly uncivilized behavior and in relation to a criminal behavior. Examples are given to illustrate this principle. Japan is wickedly uncivilized because  its leader said Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan even though historically Diaoyu Islands belonged to China when   Japan had not existed. Japanese officials claim they are the only victimized nation of nuclear bombs. They deliberately refuse to admit and in fact continuously denied they had killed  50 million of Asians mostly Chinese, made hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Korean women  sex slaves which they conveniently called them voluntary “comfort women”, made millions of Chinese slave workers, and committed unprecedented brutalities, etc. and refused to pay war reparations and compensations; shamelessly whitewashed their inglorious past by revising history textbooks;  glorify and worship the Japanese convicted and executed war criminals enshrined as Japanese national heroes. 

Examples of some stupidly and wickedly uncivilized behavior are given as follows: 

   If you run in a crowded public place like airport, train station, subway station, supermarket, shopping mall, etc., you are stupidly uncivilized; and if you bump or hit someone, you are wickedly uncivilized. 

   If you rush to enter a subway train before people have a chance to exit, you are wickedly uncivilized. 

If you smoke in restroom hiding behind a toilet door, you are wickedly uncivilized and a criminal. 

   If you ignorantly cross your legs sitting on a subway train that causes a passenger to trip, you are stupidly uncivilized. If you do it on purpose, you are wickedly uncivilized. 

You are wickedly uncivilized and a criminal when you see pedestrians crossing the street, you accelerate your car to bypass them without considering doing so would endanger human lives and property. 

   If you are making or selling contaminated and toxic food, drug, drink     (water, milk, baby formula, oil, etc.), etc. that may harm or kill people, you are wickedly uncivilized criminal, and should be executed and all assets seized. 

l            If you put trash into drainage ditch, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and you are a criminal. 

l            If you drive in a traffic jam and honk ceaselessly and continuously and loudly to manufacture noise to disturb the social environment, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and all nations should have a law to condemn you as a criminal. 

l            If you drive at night using high beam to blind the eyes of other drivers and pedestrians, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized; all nations should have a law to condemn you as a criminal. 

l            If you sell expired food or drink, you are wickedly uncivilized and you are a criminal. 

l            If you dump and drain chemical and toxic liquids into waterways, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and you are a criminal should be severely punished or even executed with all assets seized. 

l            If you park or stop your car or vehicle in a wrong or illegal place to block passageway or to create hazard and accident, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and you are a criminal. 

l            If your pit bull or other dangerous animal attacks and kills a human being, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized; and you are a criminal to be executed along with your deadly animal. 

l            If you sleep on your job as a pilot, bus or train driver, boat captain, etc. and cause fatal accidents, you are wickedly uncivilized and a criminal to be punished or executed depending on the magnitude of your crime. 

l            If you make or sell drug or food and make false claims that it can cure certain deadly disease or benefit health but it actually harms and kills people, you are not only wickedly uncivilized, you are a crook and criminal should be executed and all your assets seized. 

l            If you are untidy, you are stupidly uncivilized; if you are lewd, you are wickedly uncivilized. 

l            If you walk in public places exposing your ugly big belly, you are stupidly uncivilized. 

l            If you do not flush toilet after bowel movement, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized. 

l            If you are a cashier of a company and give out counterfeit money, when the recipient reports to your supervisor and you get angry; not only you are wickedly uncivilized, you are a criminal. 

l            If you are a bureaucrat that citizens come to you for a certain document such as passport or marriage certificate; you do not provide complete information in writing; you just verbally demand a certain supporting document. Then when the citizen comes back to you and you add more requirements one after another that forces the citizen coming to you several times for one service; you are wickedly uncivilized and a public enemy and you should be fired and punished and never be given a government job again. 

l            If you put your boxes on a subway train seat and at the same time you occupy another seat, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized because you pay for one seat and occupy two seats and your boxes are not worth a dime. 

l            Riding on an escalator whether going up or down, you may choose to stand on the right or on the left side; you are stupidly uncivilized if you stand in the middle; and if you do it on purpose, you are wickedly uncivilized. 

l            If you are a professor and you do not give assignment with clear instructions and due date, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and you are unfit for teaching. 

l            If you cough, exhale, and sneeze at others, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized. 

l            If you drive a car, or ride a motorcycle or electric bike or bike and go through red light, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and commit a serious crime. If you kill some one, you should be executed. 

l            If you drink and drive and kill people, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and should be executed for your crime as murder. 

l            If you a doctor or healthcare provider who frightens people with TV commercials in over stressing symptoms of all kinds of diseases and compel hypochondriacs into taking unnecessary tests and treatments, you are wickedly uncivilized, a crook and a criminal who needs to be punished severely. 

l            If you walk your dog or cat to urinate or defecate in public places to pollute the environment, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and should be punished, fined and forced to clean up. 

l            If you do graffiti on public or private property, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized and should be punished for your crime. 

l            If you play your music so loudly, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized. Stupidly uncivilized because you do not know people might not like your music; wickedly uncivilized because you make public disturbance. 

l            Bullying at school has become phenomenal in America. If you bully anyone anywhere, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized. If someone is killed consequently, you should be executed as a murderer. 

l            If you make unwanted commercial calls to disturb people, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized, the government should bust you. 

l            If you are a parent or grand parent, you feed a child by you eat with a spoon and let the child eat from the same spoon, you drink from a cup and let the child drink from the same cup, you are stupidly and wickedly uncivilized because by doing so you communicate disease or bad gene to the child. 

l           If you monopolize a public facility, be it seats at the airport, or train station, or a bench on subway train, you are stupidly and wicked uncivilized because public facility belongs to the public, not you. 

There are   twelve elements    which characterize most uncivilized behavior which are observable and verifiable. 

The first element which characterizes most uncivilized behavior is violence. 

Violence is both personal and national characteristics.  Violent society is made of violent people. Violent people create violent society. Violence not only is incivility, it is criminality. Historically speaking, the most violent and uncivilized peoples have been Western imperialists and colonialists (the vicious white man’s burden) and evil empire of Japanese militarists because they have been warmongers, even today their evil deeds remain and are evident all over the world. An outstanding case in point was the infamous Opium Wars conducted by Western powers and Japan against China. Recently the Islamic terrorists fall into the same category. 

The greatest crimes against humanity are genocide (such as committed by Japanese militarists against the Chinese and Nazis against the Jews), warmongering and murder, terrorist bombing, etc. I only mention crime in passing because it does not fall into the subject of our concern here. On October 18, 2011 in Everett, Wash., Police say a woman is accused of cutting her sleeping husband’s neck and shoulder with a power saw.   All violent people are uncivilized people. 

“Toxic femininity: ‘Badass’ US women demand right to torture and 

kill for Empire… just like men

Thanks to a new wave of feminism and its call for equality, it isn’t just toxic men who can kill, torture and surveil in the name of US militarism and empire, women can now do it too!

This past weekend was the third annual Women’s March, which is a protest originally triggered by Donald Trump’s defeat of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election that encourages women across America to rise up against misogyny and patriarchy.

As sincere as these women are in their outrage, in their quest for power they are inadvertently reinforcing the immoral and unethical system that they claim to detest. This is most glaringly apparent when this new feminism boldly embraces the worst traits of the patriarchy in the form of militarism and empire .

It is good to know that feminist Brie Larson is cashing in by   partnering   with the Air Force to make a movie that indoctrinates millions of US kids, specifically girls, with the dream of being able to bomb innocent people across the globe from miles up in the sky and look really  “badass”  while doing it. 

I’m sure Ms. Larson, a public and outspoken   advocate   for abuse victims here in America, has meticulously weighed the pros and cons of being a recruitment tool for the US military, which in recent years has aided and abetted, or been directly responsible for, the murder of women and children in Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and elsewhere.” 

In the last days as the world is coming to the end, as the Bible says, 

2Ti 3:1-5   ,“But know this, that in the last days   perilous times   will come: For men will be   lovers of themselves,   lovers of money,   boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control,   brutal,   despisers of good, traitors,  headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” 

Note: The characteristics of peoples in the last days are frightening and horrible, barbaric and uncivilized; just naming a few: unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving,   brutal   … I have a perspective of China from 1985 to present; I must say the Western capitalism has produced quite a few dangerous people who are lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, headstrong, haughty, without self-control… The China I used to know was much more polite, honest, moral, kind and civilized. One prominent example is barbaric drivers that honk incessantly as if broadcasting to the world: I am the emperor or empress, get out my way even in a traffic jam. Drivers deliberately violate traffic rules and regulations in a headstrong and haughty way: driving through red light, cutting in front of people, driving at high beam to blind others, driving at unsafe speed, plowing into pedestrians who walk on green light, without respect or regard for life and property. One young man on a subway train fell on me and I shoved back by automatic reflex, not only he did not apologize but looked at me with an evil eye. Assault and battery committed by barbaric men and women against women and children. Public quarrels and squabbles and physical fight become commonplace. Thank God China prohibits owning or possessing of guns. Unless China takes strong measures to punish wicked drivers, drunk drivers, violent men and women severely, etc. the trend of social change is foreboding and threatening. With respect to   traitors,    that reminds me of Taiwanese traitors and Dalai Lama, etc. I believe China should ban all violent movies from entering China and showing on TV and theaters. 

Only in a good society can people be happy. In a bad society no one can be happy. No one can be happy in an uncivilized nation. The most miserable people live in an oppressive, greedy, corrupt, unjust, unfair and violent society. 

The second element of incivility is  dirtiness. 

Dirtiness is both personal and national characteristics. Dirty society is made of dirty people. Dirty people create dirty society. The worst kind of dirtiness is toilet dirtiness. Toilets do not dirty themselves; dirty people make dirty toilets such as not flushing toilet after having bowel movement, urinating on the floor, creating foul smell, etc. The condition of toilet actually has direct correlation with civilization. The higher the civilization, the cleaner the toilets; the lower the civilization, the dirtier the toilets. One of the foulest dirty practices is that uncivilized parents have their children urinate and defecate in public places or on the streets. It is the duty of cities to build sufficient public toilets with easy access to prevent such unclean and unsightly and uncivilized practices from taking place anywhere. It is a national disgrace if you see it happen in any country. All dirty people are uncivilized people, the dirtier the people, the more uncivilized they are. Life is full of regrets; however, to be civilized is much better than to be uncivilized. 

On the way back from Hangzhou in a high-speed train I found the toilet in disarray. Some one or some ones threw tissue roll on the wet floor and waste papers everywhere. There are messy people who exist just to make the world messy. If a person is messy and makes himself/herself filthy, he/she is messy and filthy to himself/herself. If that same person makes the surrounding or environment messy and filthy, that person is not only uncivilized, he/she is a criminal in terms of practical justice. No one has the right to dirty the environment be it a toilet or a street or the sky. So the act of littering or making the surrounding dirty or filthy should be treated as a crime. Smoking pollutes the air and environment and harms the health of others; it should be treated as a crime and punished as a crime. People who do not flush toilet after use should be treated as committing a misdemeanor. 

The third element of uncivilized behavior is vulgarity. 

I believe American sports and movies are most responsible for creating America a society of vulgarity. Vulgarity can be called verbal incivility. America has become not only a violent culture, but also a vulgar culture. Hollywood produced too many movies and TV programs with extreme vulgarity, full of F word. The F word is prevalently used by police, law enforcement, the military, government employees, politicians and officials, college students, blue-collar workers, people on the street, convicts, drug addicts, common crooks and criminals, and almost everywhere. It is worse and wanton when girls and young women use dirty words profusely and shamelessly. 

The corrupt and decadent culture of America is infecting the whole world. This is just one of million examples. On March 31, 2014 I was riding on a subway train, a 6-year old girl and her mother were sitting across. All of a sudden the 6-year old girl turned herself around and performed shaky and sexual movements of her buttock facing me. The mother did not say a word. Like mother, like daughter. In America you often hear young girls shamelessly say F word, mouth full of obscenity and profanity that can chill your bone. 

The fourth element of incivility is disrespect for human lives. 

In 2020 an incredible event took place on TV, a white policeman was asphyxiating a black suspect with his two legs on the black man’s neck while the whole world was watching. It was incredible that no one in authority in America gave an order to tell the white policeman to stop killing.

There is a dangerous group of people in any nation; they are the uncivilized and barbaric drivers. If you walk in the streets of Washington, D.C. you will know what I mean. There are many uncivilized and barbaric drivers also in China. How can you know? These uncivilized and barbaric drivers do not have respect for human life. All murderers, warmongers and terrorists do not have respect for human life. They honk unnecessarily and incessantly because the traffic is congested. They drive at high beam at night to blind the drivers and pedestrians from the opposite direction. They drive through red light. They speed up when they see pedestrians crossing the street. They drive at unsafe speed and cut in front of other drivers. They drive on side walks and stop in the middle of the street. When pedestrians are walking on the green light, they plow into them without care. They drink and drive. They intentionally violate major traffic rules. The only way to stop uncivilized and barbaric drivers is to impose stiff fine and severe penalty. 

Liars, killers, and robbers are uncivilized people.

The fifth element of incivility is ignorance or stupidity. 

Often an uncivilized behavior is a product of ignorance or stupidity. Stupidity breeds uncivilized conduct; for example, there are stupid people who drive at night using high beam, not knowing their uncivilized behavior of blinding other people may cause accident and casualty. There are stupid people riding on an escalator, they do not move forward when arriving on the ground floor causing the people coming up from behind having no place to stand. 

There is another combination of uncivilized behavior which I coin DND (dirty-noisy-disorderly). China and many nations are suffering DND syndrome. DND can be observed and verified. The streets of any nation reveal a lot about the cleanliness or dirtiness of its people. A student of mine who visited Holland told me the streets in Amsterdam were very dirty. It is reported that New York City Chinatown is dirty. During the Shanghai Expo 2010, the Expo area was very large and very clean. The West Lake area of Hangzhou is maintained and kept clean at all times. Another place to look at is public toilet. The toilet of Yosemite National Park was disastrously dirty during my visit some years ago. When I was working at the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., many barbarian staff members did not flush the toilet after having bowel movement. It was disgusting. The streets of Washington, D.C. were disgracefully dirty. I saw many houses surrounded by garbage and trash on all sides. In my opinion, Scandinavian countries are the cleanest in the world. Once after a long flight to Hong Kong I was tired and looking forward to enjoy a good lunch. The restaurant was so noisy, it was impossible to have peace and quiet. You witness Chinese subway trains are so noisy and people shout in talking that you cannot hear official announcement. The barbaric drivers in big cities honk incessantly during traffic congestion. Their attitude is that I am the emperor; you are in my way so I honk you to get out of my way! You often see people lining up (queue) for something, there are always people who break the line to get ahead. During the Shanghai Expo 2010, there were many uncivilized people (men, women, young and old) who pushed and pressed to get in. I even witnessed a person was pushed down, without the police the man might have been trampled to death. The people who break line or push to get ahead are by nature very selfish and senseless people. 

The sixth element of incivility is destructiveness.

To dirty, break, damage or destroy public or private facility or property is an uncivilized act. Parents have responsibility to forbid their children in putting their dirty shoes on public seating whether on a subway train, bus, or public park. You can observe almost anywhere that some mischievous boys and young men and even girls who would pull down, shake down, pull off, shake off, pull out, etc. some public device or tool to make it dysfunctional. These destructive people enjoy breaking door and window, tearing up public notice or no-smoking sign, etc. Have you noticed some sick people would even unscrew and take off hooks in the rest room? Uncivilized people do not rest until they break things up, break beautiful and useful things. 

Racial divide in America is fundamental, deep, ugly and troubling to the point like a timed bomb which can explode anytime. After experiencing, watching and studying two Los Angeles riots, I am keenly aware of its danger and destructiveness. For a harmonious society, racial groups need to make themselves respectable and respectful of others. A great Chinese philosophy said, “Before others humiliate you, you must have humiliated yourself first.” Any ethnocentric or egomaniac attitude and behavior, provocative word and deed can only incite prejudice and fan hatred. America is already a polarized society; racism only adds fuel to the fire. It is true that many misunderstand what racism is. Most people believe only whites practice racism and discrimination. When blacks are in power such as when they rule city hall, city counsel, county government and government agencies such as Post Office, the racism that black people practice is even more arrogant, blatant, brazen, crude, offensive and disgusting. A corrupt Washington, D.C. politician of many decades is a sore and sour case in point. The reality is this racial group received more than $6 trillion in aid for nothing since Johnson’s Great Society, demanded preferential treatment in job and education and housing and medical care in terms of Affirmative Action, large percentage on welfare, large population in prisons, high crime rate, large number of gang affiliations, large population of single-parent families, etc. exude the most virulent and violent form of racism without any redeeming feature. 

This ignoramus talked like he owns Washington, D.C. by making outrageous statement, “We’ve got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses, those dirty shops. They ought to go. I’ll just say that right now, you know. But we need African American business people to be able to take their places, too.” Who is stopping African American business people who receive federal preferential treatment in business loan and contract? Perhaps it would be a good idea for Asian businesses to move out of D.C. to a more civilized and safe area that they do not need placing thick bulletproof plexiglass between customers and employees… Tired of being kept at arms length distance? Look at the mirror and ask yourself why would anyone keep near a violent and uncivilized people? Poor ignoramus, respect is not something you can command, it must be earned. This racial group is America’s number one social, political, economic and cultural liability, a timed bomb many American politicians try to ignore. For the same reason a black journalist some months ago from D.C. went to China just to write about the poor area of Shanghai, he did not even mention Lujiazui Shanghai the most modern city in the world — tells how deep rooted and poisonous is black racism. The same black journalist would not mention how the blacks live in Washington, D.C. just a few blocks from the White House — tells you about the blinding bias and pernicious nature of black racism. 

The seventh element of incivility is disrespect for other’s rights.  

When an individual does something that harms or hurts others, it is defined as an uncivilized act and may be a crime. When a nation does something that harms and hurts its neighboring countries, the same principle applies only in a magnified dimension. Based on the same principle, smoking is not allowed in public places. You have no right to smoke because second hand smoke harms others. Presumably you have a right to smoke in your own home; it is questionable whether you have the right to harm your children. For the same reason,  burning incense should be outlawed. Religious freedom does not mean you are free to practice your religion in a harmful way. Indonesian farmers used a primitive method of farming by burning forest to clear the land and thus create haze and smog    for peoples of Malaysia and Singapore is an uncivilized act. No nation or individual has the right to burn forest and create air pollutions that cause health hazards and risks for others. 

In June 2013 the peasants of Sumatra, Indonesia still used the primitive methods of farming by setting fires on the forest, clearing land for palm plantations. Consequently, the forest fires created the worst air pollution in Singapore and Malaysia and spiked to hazardous levels with thick smog and haze. The deep distress forced the Malaysian government to declare a state of emergency. Singaporean officials made public critical comments about the Indonesian man-made disaster. A high ranking Indonesian official responded with the most shocking statement by saying, “Singapore should not act like children, making all that noise.” However, reason finally won and the Indonesian president apologized to Singapore and Malaysia for the record-breaking pollution caused by forest fires in his country. This was not the first incident. The 1997 Southeast Asian haze which the Singapore government estimated cost of $6 billion  in health care costs and disrupted air travel and business. In this incident Indonesia was the uncivilized country. When you do wrong, do not ask understanding from your victims but be responsible and respectable  to pay all the damages. The nations of the world must learn and ban the use of fires to clear land or burn rubbish out in the open. 

An uncivilized person is a self-centered person thinking he/she has more rights than anybody else. Uncivilized persons demand or seek special treatment or privilege. I recall a white young woman in America who had a baby without husband and she paid for grocery with food stamps; she was pushing her baby cart and furiously yelled at people with profanity to get out of her way. There are so many bad and wicked drivers in China who have the same mentality. They honk and honk incessantly seemingly to declare: I am the emperor or empress of China, even in traffic congestion, get out of my way. The same drivers when they see pedestrians crossing or walking, instead of slowing down they would accelerate in order to bypass them. These stupid drivers drive with high beam at night to blind the eyes of other drivers and pedestrians. People who break the line (queue), who do not hold the swing door, who speak loudly on subway train or in public places, who block traffic, etc. suffer this uncivilized behavior syndrome. 

A professor who skipped classes because he was going abroad and got full pay was not only uncivilized, but irresponsible and fraudulent. Besides he violated the contract and the right of students. A teacher who does not fulfill his teaching responsibilities and fails the students is immoral. 

There should be a “pooper scooper law” everywhere, not only the dog walker or owner must clean up the mess but pay a stiff fine too. The human destruction of the environment is already too much; do not add animal waste on top of it. It is observable that too many dog walkers or owners have no respect or regard for anyone else much less the society at large. It is annoying to observe these uncivilized people who let their animals make a mess on other’s or public property. Why don’t they let their dogs and cats have bowel movement and urination at their homes before they take a walk?  The root cause of incivility is to give to others what you do not want for yourselves. There should be annual pollution tax levied on every dog or cat anywhere. The money wasted on a pet would be more desirable and meaningful to spend on an orphan. 

Once I bought a gadget that can be hung on kitchen wall, etc. without nail; and you can hook your wok and other things on it. The merchant demonstrated how strong and firm that the hook could hold two bricks. However, when I installed it at home, the wok fell down. I thought the gadget was useless. When I met the merchant again I told him publicly that the gadget was no good. In fact, it was my fault because I did not install the hook properly. The whole incident bothered me, and I sought a few times to repair the damage I caused for saying the product was no good while it is very good. Finally, I had a chance to correct my false statement and told other consumers that the product was really good that I had bought it and used it satisfactorily. After I have corrected my false statement I felt relieved. This little anecdote illustrates what I mean a civilized conscience. To be civilized you need to cultivate a civilized conscience. By the way after use for sometime, the gadget was not dependable, it dropped. 

There are many corrupt and wicked practices in every nation on earth. These corrupt and wicked practices are not peculiar only to China; however, to realize the Chinese dream or China dream, they must be eliminated by the power of law. Doctors, officials, teachers, managers and other professionals earn wages and they are supposed to do their duties. After they have done their duties, they should not expect and do not deserve to receive any gift or present   from the public. Doctors must comply with medical ethics and after they have performed surgeries, patients or family of patients have no need to send expensive gifts to doctors. For doctors, officials, teachers, supervisors and others to receive extra gifts or presents in addition to their salaries are corrupt and wicked practices.  Any professional or official who receives gift or present in relation to their position and job function should be fired and penalized severely by law. It is immoral, unethical, uncivilized and wrong for doctors, teachers, officials, managers, etc. to expect or demand gifts or presents from their subordinates or the public. China dream is to facilitate in building a clean and good society with truth and justice for all. 

Discrimination is a violation of equality principle. Discrimination is disrespect of other’s rights. Racism is a form of discrimination. 

Racism is a fact of life in America. Racial discrimination in American society is a universal practice of many forms, including employment, promotion, education, housing, contract, social treatment, medical treatment, financing, business and industry, facilities, etc. Discrimination is not only a dirty word, it is an ugly deed. I have experienced and encountered white professors and classmates, corporate executives and administrators, government officials and lawyers, doctors and nurses, engineers and technicians, professionals and non-professionals, old and young, males and females, believers and non-believers, ministers and church members; etc. all my life. Usually white people exhibit a superior air of arrogance, a repugnant sense of racial superiority; those who discriminate treat others as inferiors and other Americans as second class citizens. This is the perennial dilemma of Asian Americans: although you were born in America or having lived in America all your life, the whites who think of themselves as native sons and daughters treat you like foreigners (outsiders) or second-class citizens. Although most blacks are descendants of slaves also think of themselves as natives and consider other minorities as foreigners. When blacks are in position of power, they exhibit even more virulent, vicious, pernicious and malicious form of racism. Most blacks in America act and talk as if they were entitled to special treatment. Some Chinese Americans want to avoid disclosure of their identity by adopting names such as Locke, Lincoln, etc. On surface, Chinese who use such names deliberately seek to identify with Caucasians. However, when they appear in person they cannot cover up their Chinese features and accent. God has given me very sharp ears. I can tell on the phone whether a person is white, southern white, black, Asian, Latino, European, Indian or Pakistani, etc. without seeing. Racial divide is very deep and destructive in America. Racism is a timed bomb sooner or later will explode in America in a deadly manner. I had watched two most brutal and deadly racial riots in Los Angeles. If you are a female minority, you may fare even worse – double discrimination. I have a female colleague who holds a CPA degree; all her supervisors including the V.P. of finance do not have a CPA. I advised her to ignore American discrimination as a fact of life and focus her life on something more worthwhile. If she dwells on discrimination, she would not be able to live a happy life. One of my most satisfied side-line experiences was to lecture at some major Chinese universities during my vacation. In America well educated and able minorities usually work for white supervisors. I know a Chinese American who applied for a state position: There were selected three most qualified candidates. The Chinese was the most qualified and best educated, the white was above average, the black was the least educated and least qualified of the three, but the black got the job. Racism and racial discrimination among other things are characteristics of a bad society. I believe in Scandinavia gender discrimination is almost non-existent among whites; I cannot say the same about discrimination against other races. 

The eighth element of incivility is indifference to the suffering, dying or life-threatening situation of strangers around you.  

Years ago it was reported that a woman was screaming for help in New York City when she was attacked and killed, no one called 911 for help. Recently a little girl was run over by a reckless driver near Guangzhou, 18 persons passed by indifferently without taking any action until a woman garbage collector came to rescue the little one. This is the lowest manifestation of humanity or rather inhumanity. Inhumanity is a thousand times worse than incivility. When you see some one is drowning, or critically injured, or being brutally attacked, or being run over by a reckless driver, or a house is on fire, or in an emergency situation, etc. and you do nothing, that is beyond incivility and it becomes immorality. 

The ninth element of uncivilized behavior is  disregard for rules and regulations. 

An unruly child is the product of an undisciplined home.    An undisciplined home is created by irresponsible parents. A child who is unruly at home will be unruly at school. Children unruly at home and at school with grow up to be unruly at work and in the society. People who are unruly disregard rules and regulations. The most common violation is the disregard for traffic rules. Traffic rules and regulations are necessary not only to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic; it is also intended to protect life and property. At the intersection of East Nanjiing Road and Central Sichuan Road are the most dangerous pedestrians crossing in Shanghai. I met a police there and asked him why drivers and motorcyclists and bikers who go through red light are not given citation. He told me the violation will cost the violator only ¥5, plus the hassle to deal with those violators. So right before the eyes of the police and before my eyes, I called his attention to the cars and motorcycles and electric bikes and bicycles that go through red light while pedestrians crossing on green light – this practice will cause accident and kill people. The police said it is up to the National People’s Congress (NPC) to change the traffic rules and impose higher fine for violation. I do not know how to send an email to Chairman Wu Bangguo or his successor. I hope this message will somehow reach Chairman Wu (if any reader knows how, please get in touch with Chairman Wu), unless the fine for driving or riding through red light is changed, people will die for ¥5. May I suggest the fine for pedestrian who walks through red light is ¥50, for bicycle is ¥100, for motorcycle or electric bike is ¥300, for car or vehicle is ¥500. If they refuse to pay, their vehicles can be seized and sold. The second offense will double the fine. The third offense will triple the fine. The fourth offense will take their license away. Uncivilized people not only violate traffic rules, they will also violate no-smoking rule, no-parking rule, no-spitting rule, no littering rule, etc. I am glad China has changed, the driving through red light is now a major offense with penalty. There are still many motorcyclists, electric bikers, and bicyclists who violate the red light offense. 

The  tenth element of uncivilized behavior is the  physical abuse or mistreatment of prisoners, strangers, aliens, people you don’t like, etc.  

In a prisoner swap took place on October 18, 2011, 1,027 Palestinian prisoners were freed and one captured Israeli soldier was returned home. The stark contrast was the fact while agents of Hamas looked healthy and strong returning from Israel, the Israeli solder returning from Gaza Strip looked malnourished, terribly pale, sickly thin and frail. The look of the captured Israeli soldier caused a few sympathetic tears in my eyes. I feel pain whenever pain is inflicted upon the weak and helpless. Years ago in America ABC presented a program on the plight of Romanian orphans. When my friends and I were watching on TV how the Romanian orphans were abused and mistreated, we could not stop tears running down like a river. A human being who has no compassion is not a normal human being. 

Torture is prohibited by the  United Nations Convention Against Torture , which has been ratified by 147 states. Our subject here is not about war crime, it is about uncivilized behavior. Torture is ten thousand times worse than incivility. The more I learn about Hamas and Islamic terrorists the more I am convinced Palestinians are unworthy to have a state on Jewish land. 

1.  No man is an island. You do not live by yourself in the world. 
Therefore, to live in a civilized world you have certain responsibilities. Responsibility is the first step toward morality. An irresponsible person cannot be a moral person. To be a responsible and respectable person, you need to conduct yourself according to the norm of society. A society exists governed by law and order. The law of nations may vary, but morality is universal. A nation may pass law or by religious edict to make polygamy legal, that does not make polygamy moral. All men are created equal, for this reason any law or practice that treats men more favorable than women is immoral and should be banned from the civilized world. Morality is derived from natural law and the law of God. For example, for man to have sex with man and woman with woman is unnatural. In the sight of God, homosexuality is abomination, and sex with animal is perversion. 

Civility is closely tied to sense of responsibility.    The higher the sense of responsibility one has the better is one’s conduct of civility. Sense of responsibility is measurable; it can be divided into four categories:  

(A). No (zero) sense of responsibility, example those who litter, spit and smoke.  

(B). Low (1) sense of responsibility. Example, those who stop smoking only when they are told not to smoke in forbidden area.  

(C). Medium (2) sense of responsibility. Example, those who avoid smoking in prohibitive area.  

(D). High (3) sense of responsibility. Example, those who do not smoke at all and prevent their family members and friends from smoking. 

2.  The issues of civility and incivility are complex because they involve various legal systems, mores and cultures and religions of different peoples and countries.  

What is civilized in one country may not be civilized in other countries. What is uncivilized in one country may not be uncivilized in other countries. There are shades of gray areas. An uncivilized behavior may not be a criminal act; a criminal act must be uncivilized. For example, sneezing is an uncivilized act only if you do not cover up your nose and mouth; however, sneezing itself cannot be a criminal act because it is not voluntary. Spitting is an uncivilized act and should be a crime because it is voluntary. Spitting pollutes the environment and spreads diseases; therefore it should be a criminal act. Smoking in forbidden areas should be a crime universally because smoking not only harms smokers; it harms others and pollutes the air and environment. Once I was riding on a subway train, a young woman sat on my left. Her pony tail swept over my face twice like a broom; even she was informed she didn’t express any apology. The woman can be uncivilized in many other things not known. A civilized person should feel sorry whenever or wherever his/her behavior unknowingly affects others unpleasantly. A person’s behavior that knowingly affects others harmfully constitutes a criminal act. An immoral act may not be a crime because there are so many flawed and defective legal systems in the world. The Bible not only provides the basis of all laws and sets high standard of morality. Uncivilized behavior can be defined as any conduct that violates the right of others or that harms the body and interest of another person. To harm the body or interest of another person is usually against the law and considered a crime, for example murder, rape, robbery, terrorism, fraud, assault, arson, kidnapping, drug or sex trafficking, etc. There are uncivilized acts which may or may not be violations of the law. In most civilized nations, smoking, spitting, littering, etc. are violations of the law. Some actions may be considered uncivilized because they create health hazards or environmental pollutions. The violators are usually punished by fine; the more violations the higher the penalty. Thus, there is a distinction between a criminal behavior and an uncivilized behavior because of its consequences. Usually a criminal behavior is a worse offense than an uncivilized behavior. A criminal behavior is immoral and illegal, while an uncivilized behavior is unrespectable and unacceptable. Broadly speaking, all crimes are uncivilized; and all criminals are uncivilized people. 

Some uncivilized behavior is tied to an inferior culture. Once I caught a boy began to urinate on a subway train, approved by his shameless grandmother and relatives. Another time I witnessed a boy urinating near an elevator, approved by his grandmother. Some uncivilized conduct of the young is tied to their uneducated and foolish elders. Once I saw a grandmother pushing a shopping cart with her grandson on it on an escalator in a supermarket, the old woman played the feat jovially of lifting the front part of the shopping cart high up while climbing; this dumb behavior can easily cause an accident. Another time I saw a young couple from countryside, their daughter was vomiting on the subway train, and the vomits had a foul and sour smell. They just let the unsightly vomitus on the floor of the train, having no intention or sense of duty to do the cleanup. Uncultured parents and stupid elderly relatives are the promoters of the uncivilized conduct of members of their younger generation. 

The parental influence on their children, for better or worse, is tremendous. Once I observed in Washington, D.C., some black women brought their children into a supermarket. The black children ran wild and took small spice bottles and emptied their contents on the floor, while their mothers watched and didn’t say a word. China has one child-policy in order to control poverty and starvation. As an unintended result, probably 95 percent of children are spoiled by their useless parents. These spoiled brats act as if they were little emperors and empresses, unruly and uncivilized and wild. In comparison to the lovely Danish children mentioned in my article    The Theory of Good Society     and cited above, these uneducated children are most unpleasant and undesirable. Unless these undisciplined children are reined in by their parents in time, they would grow up to become big liabilities to Chinese society. You see the man in a child. It would be wise for the government to recognize the problem and take corrective measures before the problem becomes out of control. This is for sure, uncivilized children will grow to be juvenile delinquents and then uncivilized adults. 

Whether it is an impoverished or affluent school, the fact that bullies exist in school indicates the uncivilized culture and failure of the district management. No poverty can justify bullying school. No affluence can justify bullying school. Some fancy educators know how to create flowery words such as positive behavioral intervention and support, proactive strategies, etc. but have no ability to solve real problems. Tons of acronyms are not as good as one ounce of achievement. American elementary and high schools are immersed with false premises of useless psychology and social sciences that only enrich the administrators and professionals at public expense and the ruined lives of the juvenile delinquents. What is wrong is wrong, not just inappropriate, no need to be sugarcoated. What is bad is bad, no need to be decorated with flowers. You cannot use fancy words to cover up bad conduct. No perfume can sanitize the stinking behavior of violence and unethical conduct of any kind. Jostling in the hall, using a mean (but not crude) nickname that a kid hates, pressuring a kid to share homework answers, or a borderline sexual innuendo, taking another student’s property, coercing a student to hand over property, repeatedly and aggressively borrow lunch money or school supplies from a weaker student without ever intending to pay it back, verbal abuse, harassment of any kind, vandalism, predatory behavior, etc. all indicate an inferior culture on the borderline of criminality. The climate of a school which is like a war zone cannot be tolerated. It is important to make parents responsible and liable for the unruly behavior of their children. Discipline must spell out consequences such as suspension, dismissal, expulsion, etc. If law and order cannot be maintained at a school, no actual learning is possible. You wonder why the scores of American elementary and high school students are much lower than many other nations. 

3.   An important factor in considering what is uncivilized or civilized behavior is whether an act is done in private or in public.  

For example, for you to be nude at home is not uncivilized, but it is uncivilized to be nude in public. There is nothing immoral or indecent for a husband and wife to have sex in their own home, but it is definitely uncivilized and criminal in some nations, to have sex in public. Although you can smoke in your own home, but it is bad for your children. Presumably you have a right to let your pet urinate and defecate in your own home, however, if the foul air and bad smell affects the neighborhood, you become a public liability and nuisance. For the same reason you are not allowed to let weeds grow tall around your house, first it may cause fire hazard, second it lowers the value of the houses around your house. 

You may wear athletic shirt at home; in fact you may wear nothing at home. It is proper to wear athletic shirt when and where you engage in sport activities. It is uncivilized to wear athletic shirt in the public, people have no obligation to see you display your flesh. It is uncivilized to walk in the public displaying your potbelly. 

4.    Based on the principle that an uncivilized behavior consists of any conduct that violates the right of others or that harms the body or interest of another person. 

It is acceptable and rational to consider the following behavior as uncivilized: 

(A). smoking 

(B). spitting 

(C). shouting (in public without cause) 

(D). sneezing (without cover) 

(E). sitting with leg crossing on subway train or bus to block passage 

(F). unyielding to the elderly on subway train or bus 

(G). littering 

(H). playing loud music or driving noisy motorcycle 

(I). dog barking to disturb neighbors 

(J). walking dog to defecate or urinate in public 

(K). walking through red light (traffic violation) 

(L). drive honking excessively (traffic violation) 

(M). driving or riding on sidewalk (traffic violation) 

(N). driving through red light (major traffic violation) 

(O). reckless driving (major traffic violation) 

(P). drink and drive (major traffic violation) 

(Q). driving under influence (major traffic violation) 

(R). cursing 

(S). pushing 

(T). breaking lineup 

(U). demanding begging 

(V). forced selling 

(W). smelling bad (due to uncleanliness) 

(X). giving out misinformation or misdirection 

(Y). staring at people 

(Z). graffiti (public offense) – vandalism 

The examples of uncivilized behavior cited above are neither comprehensive nor exhaustive. Civility is a relative construct, only truth is absolute. There are many attitudes, degrees and shades of civility; from the most positive to the negative attitudes, form the highest to the lowest degrees, from clearest to the grayest areas. This little story may illustrate the point. At a subway station I met a 7-year old little girl. There are steps for pedestrians to walk up or down. There are also bicycle slides on both sides for people to slide down or move up their bikes. The little girl ran up on the slippery bike path, I noticed her feet sliding back and told her she might slip and fall down. The little girl rudely and strongly replied when she reached the level floor: “You see I did not slip or fall!”  When a person was concerned about her safety and well-being, not only she was not polite and grateful, she treated it as an insult. This speaks a lot about the culture of her family. The self-willed and strong-willed and sour seven-year old may have her personality and character fixed already. It is very unlikely she will grow up to be a pleasant and civilized person. Parents, how you bring up your children influences the personality and character of your children more than anything else. 

Here are a few examples to illustrate the difference between an uncivilized person, normal person and civilized person. When you see someone who smokes in a prohibitive area like an elevator, rest room, subway train, restaurant, store, etc., a normal person will cooperate and apologize and put out his cigarette right away. However, an uncivilized person instead will fight with you and declare it is none of your business and continue his smoking defiantly. A civilized person does not do whatever is forbidden. Now the line between a normal person and uncivilized person becomes gray. It is almost universal knowledge that smoking is prohibitive in many public places. An uncivilized person will stop his car in places which he must not stop for it may endanger others and cause traffic obstruction. Uncivilized persons will park their cars illegally and deliberately. If you challenge them, they will engage in a fight or squabble with you. The same is applicable to persons who litter. I met a young woman on a subway train who insisted she had the right to throw away used drinking bottle on the train, she would not take it out when she existed the train. 

There are differences between an uncivilized person and a bad person. An uncivilized person usually knowingly or unknowingly violates the right of others or harms public interest or does something improper in public. A bad person harms others or public interest on purpose. For example, a man walks through a swing door but he does not hold the door and the door swings back and hits the other person. The man is basically bad. A man smokes in an elevator or rest room, when reminded, not only he does not apologize, he hostilely responds and wants to engage in a fight. The man is both uncivilized and bad. All who drive at high beam on city streets or two-way high ways at night to blind drivers from opposite direction are basically bad persons, not only uncivilized. A driver sees pedestrians crossing the street, not only he does not slow down, he speeds up intending to bypass pedestrians. The driver is an evil man because his conduct may injure or kill others. There are infinite examples of uncivilized and bad behavior. 

Incivility is related to a defective culture, but it is not about culture. Incivility is related to crime, but it is not about a flawed legal system. Incivility is related to problem personality, but it is not about personality. Incivility is a product of a bad society, but it is not about society. Incivility is related to immorality, but it is not about morality. In summary, I find that the root cause of incivility is a complex composite of personal irresponsibility, bad upbringing, negative attitude, inferior culture, poor taste, character flaw, selfish ego, and bad habit. This may offend many, but I have to tell the truth: bull fight is an uncivilized sport, so is boxing. 

While all crimes are uncivilized behavior, an uncivilized behavior may not be a crime. For example, hatred in the heart of man. The laws of nations do not deal with the evil heart of man. Based on the principle that an uncivilized behavior consists of any conduct that violates the right of others or that harms the body or interest of another person; it is acceptable and rational to consider the following sample of behavior as uncivilized: 

The Bible says:  

Ecc 3:12 , “I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime.” The best kind of civility is to rejoice and to do good. 

The examples of uncivilized behavior cited above are neither comprehensive nor exhaustive. Civility is a relative construct, only truth is absolute.

Among the most uncivilized behavior, the following violations rank the highest: 

(A).   Smoking.    Smoking harms people, especially the young and the old who have asthma or respiratory ailments. I am not here to debate whether you have a right to harm yourself or not; you certainly do not have a right to harm others, it may turn from incivility to criminality. It is a crime to smoke in elevator, restroom, restaurant, office, and all public places and public transportation (including taxi) and even when you line up with others for something. Smoking violates the breathing space and living space of others. Smokers are among the most obnoxious people in the world, the cigarette buds everywhere testify against them. Smokers pollute the air, the land, the environment, food, water, etc. through their smoke and cigarette buds and packages thrown on the ground. 

(B).   Spitting. Spitting is one of the most disgusting habits because it violates public sanitation and makes the environment unsightly. In addition, spitting spreads diseases. It is not only uncivilized, it should be a crime. 

(C).   Littering.    Littering is a habit of defective culture. Littering pollutes the environment and it creates trash. The mindset of a litterbug is to give what he does not want to others. A litterbug relinquishes his responsibility and dumps his trash on others. Littering should be made a misdemeanor punishable by a fine. 

(D).   Honking driving.    A driver who honks incessantly is an arrogant little fellow by honking he tells people to get out of his way. Even in a traffic jam, you hear uncivilized drivers honk loudly and constantly. Honking creates noise pollution and a disturbed environment. Unnecessary honking should be made a crime punishable by a fine. 

(E).   Dog walking.    It is most distasteful and disgusting to watch uncivilized and irresponsible people to walk their dogs in order to defecate in public places. Animal waste is a threat to public health, harmful to public sanitation and pollution to the environment. In some civilized countries it is already a crime punishable by a fine and required clean up. It is suggested a pollution tax be levied on pet owners plus their annual licensing. It is also a crime to abandon your dogs and cats and let them run wild on the streets. 

(F).   Not flushing toilet after use. Some despicable people hide themselves behind toilet door and smoke, intentionally violating the rule of no smoking. After dropping their dirty bombs into the fixture, these shameless and worthless people deliberately not to flush the toilets. 

People are uncivilized simply because they do not obey or respect rules and regulations. For example, those who smoke, spit, litter, drive through red light, walking dog to defecate on other’s or public property, not flushing toilet after use, etc. they do so deliberately in violation of rules and regulations they do not want to conform or observe. Although there are some uncivilized people who act ignorantly, most uncivilized acts are deliberate acts. Uncivilized people tend to disrespect law and order. For that reason, uncivilized people are more likely to become crooks and criminals. Civilized people have a sense of responsibility which uncivilized people do not. 

All uncivilized acts burden and threaten a civilized person. Singapore used to be a bad place; by law the culture was transformed to a more genteel society. The small city state is a good model of law and order for many big and bad countries. The most wearisome excuse is civil right and freedom. There is no civil right for uncivilized behavior. There is no freedom to do harm and hurt. The right we need is the right not to be killed, not to be raped, not to be harmed, not to be robbed, not to be discriminated, not to be defrauded, not to be blackmailed, and not to be violated, etc. I am convinced all uncivilized behavior can be controlled or eventually eliminated if good laws are enacted and enforced with severe penalties. 

5.    Public toilet is a key indicator of civility. 

In my assessment of the six most advanced European societies in 1976 in contrast with the United States, I discovered a simple but universal truth: There is a correlation between the public toilet and the level of civilization of any nation. The higher the civilization, the cleaner the toilet; the lower the civilization, the dirtier the toilet. This can be verified anytime anyplace. It is pretty difficult to assess private toilet because you do not have access to many homes. Public toilet you encounter everywhere such as airport, restaurant, government building, school, museum, stadium, hospital, hotel, shopping mall, railway station, bus station, supermarket, public park, theatre, department store, a thousand and one places. 

Four Ss  can be used to inspect or survey a public toilet: They stand for   Sight, Smell, Scene, Supply.  Sight means the general view of a toilet condition, dirty or clean, orderly or disorderly, bright or dark. Scene is to check whether feces in the toilet bowl or urine on the floor, obscene drawing and graffiti on the wall or both sides of the toilet, etc. Smell is the offensive odor; a smelly toilet must be a dirty toilet. Once I was at the De Gaulle Airport in Paris, when I walked into a toilet to my dismay, there was no toilet tissue paper. In poor nations, they cannot afford to Supply free toilet paper. In some nations, people steal toilet paper. In an advanced civilized society, supply of toilet tissue is not a problem. An uncivilized person usually does not flush the toilet after use. I encountered this uncivilized habit of not flushing the toilet after use even in a most prestigious government agency in Washington, D.C. and in some affluent communities.  It was a feeling of dismay when I arrived at Paris and found the De Gaulle Airport did not have toilet paper!

Civility is no refuge for scoundrels because scoundrels do not practice civility. Civility exposes the dark side and disgraced behavior of scoundrels. Something is wrong with a society if it provides last refuge for scoundrels. Civility is a refuge for decent and law-abiding people to feel at ease in a world of disorder. 

In a certain city there are full of nasty women, from twenty somethings to sixty somethings they are tigresses. On a subway train, once I saw a young mother with a 3-year old girl standing on the train; since on a bench can sit six adults, if they are not fat people, it is no problem to squeeze a little girl in. But the woman in her thirty on my right showed her temper and said it was ridiculous. In fact she was the ridiculous and uncivilized woman; the subway rule is to yield seat to the elderly and the very young. This nasty tigress in human form was not willing to make a little room for a little girl. The world is getting worse and worse everyday; the wicked, the evil and the uncivilized and the undesirable multiply like weeds. I have to reassess all the millions of people I have met in the world and conclude with the following findings: 

75    percent of people are uninteresting and boring. 

20    percent of people cover a wide range from uncivilized, undesirable to the wicked and evildoers. 

5    percent of people vary from decent people, nice, cultured to most desirable and respectable. 

The more bad people (uncivilized, uncultured, crude, rude, rough, raw, impolite, uncouth, harsh, mean, etc.) there are in the world, the worse the world becomes. 

6. Civility and crime. 

Crime is the number one indicator of incivility.  The nation that has the highest crime rate and highest prison population is the most uncivilized nation on earth. The race which commits the most crimes is the most uncivilized race. The people who commit the most crimes are the most uncivilized people. The so-called link of low IQ and conservative beliefs to prejudice research finding is flawed. People who give in to racism and prejudice is not simply dumb, it is culturally-and-value-determined. Imperialists, colonialists, hegemonists, militarists and warmongers are not people of low IQ and they are most conservative and want to maintain status quo. According to the     2010 census      of the     US Census Bureau      blacks (including Hispanic blacks) comprised 12.6% of the US population. The data is complicated by dividing blacks into Hispanic blacks and non-Hispanic blacks; not knowing whether the definition is valid and applicable or not. According to the     US Bureau of Justice Statistics      (BJS) non-Hispanic blacks accounted for 39.4% of the total prison and jail population in 2009.     Midyear 2009 incarceration rates for inmates held in custody in prisons or jails differed by race and gender. Black males, with an incarceration rate of 4,749 inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents, were incarcerated at a rate more than six times higher than white males (708 inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents) and 2.6 times higher than Hispanic males (1,822 inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents). Black females (with an incarceration rate of 333 per 100,000) were more than two times as likely as Hispanic females (142 per 100,000) and over 3.6 times more likely than white females (91 per 100,000) to have been in prison or jail on June 30, 2009. If you put the black population of state, county and municipal jails together with the federal black jail population, the total picture is very clear and convincing. It is true that people of low IQ commit most of the violent crimes such as murder, rape, and robbery. The crooks and criminals of Wall Street, Washington and Hollywood are not people of low IQ; they are graduates of American most prestigious universities and they are conservative and ego-centric and biased; and yet they commit most of the financial and war crimes in the world. The link of crime to liberal or conservative as a variable is unsettled. For example, liberals tend to support homosexuality or same-sex marriage and oppose death penalty. Low IQ people tend to commit low IQ crime (such as homicide) while high IQ people tend to commit high IQ crime (such as fraud). Low IQ people are crude while high IQ people are sophisticated. High IQ people such as Wall Street, Washington and Hollywood executives, doctors and hospital owners and lawyers use monopolistic and predatory practices to commit the greatest robberies in the world. World domination is certainly not a socially conservative ideology. Aggressive people want to change the world in their favor because they want to be masters of the universe. Supremacists and hegemonists and militarists are the most arrogant and prejudicial people on earth and yet they have high IQ. 

The eleventh element that characterizes an uncivilized person is the fear he puts to people. 

This is a test question which can reveal who you really are:   Are strangers afraid of you even you do not threaten them?    If yes, you are not only an uncivilized person, you are dangerous. In America, you are afraid not only of strangers, you are not sure of people you know and you cannot trust anyone. What does it matter even if you have money, power and sex if you live in fear? 

To tell the truth is not racism. There is no secret that in America black people by their behavior, look, body gesture, speech, attitude, etc. frighten people. It was a black preacher who confessed that he did not feel safe among black youths. If a black preacher could not feel save around black youths, how would other races feel?

In my research and studies I have discovered the most prominent element that characterizes an uncivilized person is that he puts fear into people the same way you would automatically react to a ferocious animal like tiger or cobra in front you. I recall years ago a black political preacher made a statement that he was afraid of being around with young black males. Some years ago when I unknowingly drove into a black area in Los Angeles looking for a cheap dentist, and when hundreds of pairs of black eyes focused and zoomed on me, the first time and immediately I sensed danger that made me afraid. Whether by the evil eye, body language, words or behavior a man/woman who can put people in fear earns  the highest order of incivility. It is always a pleasant feeling when you are around with civilized and genteel people. The opposite is also true. When Jesus Christ was on the earth, children flocked to Him and He blessed them. If children are afraid of you, obviously there is something wrong with you. It appears children can intuitively sense good or bad people. 

Once I was walking in London near Piccadilly during the day, a white youth followed and tried to sell me drug. I pretended deaf and dumb and kept walking; and he started to curse me. Another occasion I was walking in New Orleans near French Quarter in day time, a black youth followed me from behind, and that really put fear in my heart. In Washington, D.C. a white man told me and showed me the scar on his head because he was hit by a black youth from behind. 

Some years ago I bought a new and most popular car in America, taking all my family members from Southern California, we were going to Carmel  and the 17-Mile Drive, Pebble Beach. On the way we stopped by  San Luis Obispo at a fast food restaurant.  As I entered the restaurant I saw a fine middle-age white man with his beautiful teenage (probably 16) daughter nodding and smiling at me although we were total strangers. In comparison to the some minorities in America that put fear in you, I will never forget the friendly and genuine smiles of the father and daughter among the most civilized peoples I have ever met in the world. 

There are many things in America that will scare you; all because of guns and violent way of life, and countless of crooks and criminals. Black gangs, Latino gangs, White gangs and Asian gangs scare you. One day I was driving in an alley, it happened the time when Jr. and Sr. high schools letting their pupils out and they were going home. Suddenly a bunch of black female students blocked my car and shouted and screamed at me for no reason at all, I didn’t even honk them. The way strangers show their overt hostility to you even you have done nothing wrong would scare anyone. Once I was doing management consulting that I had to go to airport flying around often. I had to drive to airport from home and from airport going home often at night. The way to airport had to go through a black neighborhood. My colleagues would say: pray that your car would not go wrong in that neighborhood or the black people would eat you alive! In fact the son of a well-known black actor was killed at night while he was changing the tire of his Mercedes on a freeway. The American way of life is the scary way of life. American people live in fear everyday! 

Michael B. Sauter  (May 22, 2012）reported the Happiest Countries in the World. In 1975-76 I had conducted critical analysis and assessment of the six most advanced civilizations on earth including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. See      The Theory of Good Society  . I know these nations, the study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s report on life satisfaction has some validity. The United States of America despite of all the boasting and bragging of supremacists is not among the list. That is no surprise. How can Americans be happy when 1 percent of population owns most of the wealth and power and rule over the 99 percent. The nation with the largest deficits and big national debt of over $29 trillion is sinking deeper and deeper, faster and faster. The sole superpower is either preparing or making wars, doing nothing productive or positive in the world. Americans live in fear daily, fear of crooks and criminals and corrupt officials and terrorists. Although I am not a psychiatrist, I believe if you live in a violent and corrupt society, hear and watch bad news on TV day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year – for many years, that will negatively affect your mind and may cause mental illness of various kinds. If you are serious about the American problems, please read America Is Committing Suicide.  To be frank, I thought Norway was the best nation on earth if the climate is not considered. I would not survive in a cold country like Norway. The recent event of massacre in Norway and the government policy of accepting Islamic immigrants would make me very unhappy if I were a Norwegian citizen. Yesterday I met a beautiful young Norwegian girl and man. I explained to them, the Norwegian government is wrong in abolishing death penalty and accepting Islamic immigrants. For Islam is completely not compatible with Christianity. See    A Response to the Norwegian Nobel Committee .    Happiness is a relative concept, no one can be fully happy in this world. You may be surprised but it is true, China is improving and getting better every day and I have witnessed the tremendous changes in China since 1985. Some nations are much better than other nations. Many nations are the worst in the world. It would be offensive to mention those rat and rogue nations. 

Only in a good society can people be happy. In a bad society no one can be happy. No one can be happy in an uncivilized nation. The most miserable people live in an oppressive, greedy, corrupt, unjust, unfair and violent society. 

If you have carefully read this article, you will realize the complexity and difficulty in defining an uncivilized behavior. To describe and define an uncivilized behavior, you have to define an uncivilized person.   An uncivilized person does whatever he/she wants without considering the harmful or negative impact on others.    For example, an uncivilized driver in a traffic jam keeps honking. The ignorant driver does not seem to know in a traffic jam other cars cannot get out of your way, and continuous and useless honking is disturbing public peace. The same principle applies to those ignorant or wicked drivers who use high beams when driving at night which blind other drivers and pedestrians. 

There is a conflict of behavior produced by incompatible cultural difference or indifference which maybe viewed by one side as uncivilized behavior while on the other side as perfectly normal. For example, table manner. Some people eat with their hands and lick their fingers as primitive people do. Some eat with sucking and ugly sound as a standard norm of behavior. Some use their personal chopsticks to take food from a common plate and put right into their mouth. The passing of one’s saliva into the common plate which serves others is offensive to another cultural norm. Some people eat by spitting fish and meat bones right on the floor. A person of a subjectively more refined culture would feel being tortured in a noisy and disorderly environment and dinning with such crude individuals. The other side may view your displeasure and disapproval as snobbish and arrogant. Although I am not arrogant or snobbish, I must confess I cannot bear the taste of most food prepared by people in remote undeveloped area or countryside. It is a matter of taste. What is civilized in one culture may be uncivilized in other. This may be an illustration of the old town vs. country conflict. This may be a subtle class and cultural phenomenon of incompatibility which is difficult to define civility or incivility. Another example, my ears reject all dialects and some languages as ugly and unpleasant sound. It will be a torture if I had to listen to those unpleasant noises just as I reject the senseless and noisy bang and bang of rock and roll. I have no pleasure in African American rap music; it is no music to me.  Sound of Music ,  Phantom of the Opera,  and  My Fair Lady , etc. represent good music to me. Handel’s Messiah, composed in 1741, probably is the most majestic kind of music.  

People are uncivilized simply because they do not obey or respect rules and regulations. For example, those who smoke, spit, litter, drive through red light, walking dog to defecate on other’s or public property, not flushing toilet after use, etc. they do so deliberately in violation of rules and regulations they do not want to conform or observe. Although there are some uncivilized people who act ignorantly, most uncivilized acts are deliberate acts. Uncivilized people tend to disrespect law and order. For that reason, uncivilized people are more likely to become crooks and criminals. Civilized people have a sense of responsibility which uncivilized people do not. 

All uncivilized acts burden and threaten a civilized person. Singapore used to be a bad place; by law the culture was transformed to a more genteel society. The small city state is a good model of law and order for many big and bad countries. The most wearisome excuse is civil right and freedom. There is no civil right for uncivilized behavior. There is no freedom to do harm and hurt. The right we need is the right not to be killed, not to be raped, not to be harmed, not to be robbed, not to be discriminated, not to be defrauded, not to be blackmailed, and not to be violated, etc. I am convinced all uncivilized behavior can be controlled or eventually eliminated if good laws are enacted and enforced with severe penalties. 

The twelfth element that characterizes incivility is the lack of refinement. 

Once I had a most uncomfortable and embarrassing experience at a town in Mississippi where the best establishment had a most primitive toilet facility. Men went into a small square rest room where they urinated to ditches by the wall and in the middle was a toilet seat for defecation like a central stage of public spectacle. I was brought up to urinate or defecate in private without anyone around or looking. I was not able to do anything in such an environment. I would rather to go to the woods. 

Refinement or cultured environment may be a key characteristic that differentiates a civilized person from a beast of the jungle. Refinement does not have to be an opulence, extravagance or luxury. 

On the matter of refinement, it is a concept that can become visible if you have a trained eye to see. If you have not done it, I suggest from now on when you walk out of your door; sharpen your observations wherever you go. Have you not noticed that people from countryside appear different from people in the big city? By appearance I do not mean just the way people dress, expensive or cheap, formal or informal; but including how people talk, walk, laugh, smile, eat, sit, stand, drink, run, etc. Have you not noticed that foreigners behave differently? Once at a Beijing high class department store a clerk told me that she knew I was not Chinese although I looked like Chinese. She said I had an air or style that Chinese people do not have. Do you notice people in a poor area appear differently from people in a rich area? The people in a high class area appear differently from people in a low class area. Educated people appear differently from uncultured people. Awkwardness, rudeness, boisterousness, impoliteness, impulsiveness, coarseness, vindictiveness, ungodliness, unkindliness, sloppiness, and shamelessness, etc. are the opposites of refinement. Refined people exude or radiate an attractive quality of pleasantness, kindness, gentleness, naturalness, agreeableness, meekness, goodness, desirableness, nonabrasiveness, unaggresivenss, unpretentiousness and nonthreatenness that represent less than 1 percent of the world population – they are rarer and more precious than the rich and powerful people in the world.  

Do you want to be a civilized person? In a nutshell, realize you are only a co-inhabitant with billions of peoples in the world. The earth does not belong to you. Therefore, act and speak respectfully and responsibly.  If you do so, you are a civilized person. For a  respectable and responsible person is a civilized person. 

Only in a good society can people be happy.  In a bad society no one can be happy. No one can be happy in an uncivilized nation because there are too many things to trouble and disturb and upset you without cause. You do not trouble the barbarians but the barbarians will trouble you. You do not go to evildoers and evildoers will come to you. The most miserable people live in an abusive, exploitative, oppressive, greedy, corrupt, discriminatory, fraudulent, unjust, unfair, uncivilized and violent society. 

This may offend people. I feel at home only in Orange County, California (the best part of Orange County, some parts are invaded by the undesirables). I also feel at home in Scandinavia – the Scandinavia I used to know in 1975-1976. Based on all I know, the world is getting worse and worse. My kingdom is not of this world.  I am a citizen of Heaven, the Kingdom of Heaven.

V． SECURITY 

1.  Security is  freedom from fear or harm.  

Bad people can harm you in many ways, physically, financially, legally, socially, etc. Security can be divided into national security and personal security. National security problems can become personal security problems. Terrorists who threatened America also killed American people as 9-11 in New York City demonstrated. Security problems may also be safety problems, safety problems may also become security problems. 

It was reported on May 30, 2011 a 85-year-old woman in New York upper East Side was sexually assaulted and robbed by a muscular Hispanic thug in his 20s, the fiend, brute, pervert and psycho. Apparently the American criminal justice system does not deter crooks and criminals and the sole superpower was not able to protect her. This was one of countless examples of victims in America. To the poor old woman, human right, freedom, democracy no matter how great are meaningless and useless. What she and every human being needs is the right not to be assaulted, defrauded, discriminated, raped, robbed or killed. Apparently America is a very dangerous and unsafe society, therefore undesirable. 

It was reported by Kansas City, Missouri Reuters (June 10, 2011), a 5-year-old girl could face murder charges in drowning of a toddler in a bathtub. She held the toddler under water until he stopped crying. Could it be that 5-year-old girl has been watching too many violent movies? Violence in America is so exceptionally frightening. 

The reason efforts employed in fighting terrorism have not been effective or successful is simply because it has been fighting terrorism the wrong way. You cannot successfully fight against malaria until you eradicate malaria mosquitoes. You cannot fight against organized crimes until you eliminate organized gangs of crooks and criminals. To fight against terrorism is abstract like hitting the air without target, but endeavor to eliminate terrorists can be effective with concrete results. Governments cannot apply laws and due process pertaining to common crooks and criminals to deal with terrorists. Terrorists are extraordinary enemies of humanity, not only they have lost human rights because they inhuman, they have no right to exist. Governments of all nations must fight terrorists the way they fight real enemies in a war of survival: Eliminate and liquidate them for good. If the enemies live, you die. If you live, the enemies must die. Once the terrorists have no place to hide and have no means to exist, terrorism will cease. To the extent that a nation has wiped out terrorists, that nation enjoys safety and security. 

If you live in a bad society where there are more frauds committed than the stars in the sky, discrimination is a way of life, doctors and hospitals can bankrupt you any moment, crooks and criminals threaten you in all aspects of life, the flawed system does not protect you, the government serves the interest of the few, you feel the nation is on the wrong track but you are helpless and hopeless, you are unemployed, you live in fear every day – – the days are evil. It was also reported that the rich and powerful founder of Apple Company was so afraid that his daughter could be kidnapped. What is the use of money and power, if you live in fear daily? What is the use of the sole superpower that can destroy the world but cannot protect its citizens from harm by crooks and criminals and terrorists? 

2.   Product safety problems like food and drug are very critical because contaminated food and unsafe drug can kill people. 

For example, years ago poisoned milk killed babies in China. Safety problems such as products in America that claim to be gentle and pure are contaminated with carcinogens. 

If you watch all the TV news and reports on how companies and individuals manufacture drugs, food and drink with high content of toxic and harmful and deadly materials and additives, you would not dare to eat or drink anything! This appears to be a national emergency more dangerous and deadly than SARS because it is intentionally caused and created by wicked people infected by incurable capitalistic greed. Just as China has demonstrated its abilities in dealing with natural disasters, I am sure China is fully capable in dealing with such man-made disaster. It is hoped Chinese government will prosecute and execute any responsible people or groups of people who manufacture and sell toxic and harmful products in the form of drug, food, drink, etc. It is high time to eliminate those mass murderers who violate the law boldly for the sake of high profits. Perhaps mass execution is necessary to stop and eliminate this evil deed infected by capitalistic greed. If corrective action is not taken promptly and effectively to stop those mass killers, the consequences would be disastrous of unimaginable magnitude and unthinkable calamity and catastrophe. It would be like committing suicide. When you have internal enemies like those deliberate killers, you do not need external enemies who are at work to destroy China. 

3.   The culture of violence threatens the life and property of individuals. 

It was reported that the people of Samson, Alabama, a former textile hub long down on its luck, remain deeply shaken after a gunman’s killing spree. This kind of report was not the first nor the last of what is happening in America – the land of guns and violence. The conclusion is plain: you can be shot anywhere, even in your own home. 

Security problem is not a case when someone in your house or your neighbor was gunned down. This little story may illustrate and give you some sense of security or insecurity. When I lived in Orange County, California (the best part of America); one day while we were lining up at the most upscale department store in America to make special purchases, I didn’t know how our friendly chat got into security subject matter. Anyhow I urged an old lady standing beside me not to open her door carelessly. The rich old lady surprisingly whispered to me that she had 8 doors in her house. It must be a grand mansion. This incident took place in the golden era of America  when Richard Nixon was the president, and California was the GOLDEN STATE. Then I thought I certainly would not want to live in a mansion with 8 doors. It would be a hard time to know which key is for which door to get in and get out. The rich old lady lived in Newport Beach although I never saw her mansion. One day a black man knocked at my door although there were no black people living in my area. My home had a hidden way (not a peephole) of looking at the whole person who was knocking at the door while the visitor could not see me. Of course I did not open the door. Do you see how terrible it is to live in a mansion with 8 doors and you worry who is knocking at your door? That was years ago. Today America is the most dangerous place to live among developed nations even in the best place of America. It is a terrible way to live in fear daily.  When you have fear, you do not have security. Yes, you have freedom in America. You are free to be raped, robbed, defrauded (by doctors and hospitals and others), blackmailed, discriminated, discharged without cause, extorted, and even killed. What most Americans want is the freedom NOT to be raped, robbed, defrauded, discriminated, ABUSED, spied, threatened, or killed.  

A very old and gray-headed British couple told to me that they have three locks for their door. They do not open their door at night to anyone. The more locks you need, the more insecure is your society. Your society is so insecure that you need many locks. A rich lady in the best county of America told me that she had 8 layers of doors in her mansion. Your society is insecure because there are so many evildoers and the government cannot protect you. There are so many evildoers in your country because your legal system does not deter and effectively punish crooks and criminals and your government is incompetent and dysfunctional. Democracy is phony and human rights are useless if you live in fear. I applaud and appreciate the way the Chinese government is fighting and stamping out organized criminals. In fact, China would be better off to execute more corrupt officials who defraud accumulatively one million yuan or more because 95 percent of Chinese do not earn one million yuan in their lifetime; and execute makers and sellers of fake and toxic food and drug and drink that harm and kill people. China needs not pay attention to Western opinion and propaganda about death penalty because citizens of Western powers (in particularly the United States of America) live in fear. It is better to have capital punishment so that people may live in peace and enjoy freedom. 

4.    Environmental pollution is both a security and safety problem. 

Private cars are the biggest polluters of environment. America the land of private cars is held hostage by OPEC and high cost of oil and gasoline. It is a wise national policy to make mass transit of subways, light rails and electric buses the major public transportation for big cities. Nuclear waste poses a national security threat. Industrial waste poses as community and individual safety risk. Global warming poses as a threat to humanity. 

5.    Fraud and corruption in government  pose the greatest threat to the security of the nation as well as the people because it involves livelihood and survival. 

Official fraud means robbing and looting public resources as illustrated by the American economic and financial crisis created by crooks and criminals in Wall Street, bank, mortgage, insurance, and big firm executives with support by government officials. Through corruption by government officials the national resources and funds are misappropriated and depleted by politicians and bureaucrats and special interests. Anyone who misappropriates, misuses or misspends public funds is the public enemy no. 1. A government that makes possible big crooks and criminals is a bad government indeed. A bad government has no reason to exist. According to Thomas Jefferson, when a government fails to function properly, the people have a right to overthrow it. That is called Jeffersonian revolution. Patriotism does not mean supporting corrupt government officials. American democracy and capitalism offer too many temptations and opportunities to corruption. Everything that the capitalist and supremacist touched turns into abuse, excess, fraud, exploitation and oppression. Jefferson was proven right, “I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.” That banking establishments include the current form of investment banks, mortgage, insurance, and big firms that take and abuse government bailout, they are indeed more dangerous than the standing armies. They drag the government and the nation into a quagmire, the sinking sand. The most stupid thing is to invest in weapons of mass destruction and start wars of aggression in order to dominate the world. Ecc 9:18 , “Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.” 

6.   America has the scariest society because corrupt politicians, self-serving bureaucrats, crooks and criminals and terrorists may threaten the helpless people. 

American people live daily in fear of becoming victims of myriad varieties, from blackmail of lawsuit, identity theft, stolen credit cards, fraudulent and excessive medical expenses, layoff, drive by shooting, murder, rape, kidnapping, arson to home invasion, etc., etc. There are too many things and too many people that make Americans afraid. America is also the most alienated society where neighbors do not know each other and you do not talk to strangers. America is the most insecure society where the unemployed have resources could last only a few months. The uncertainty about many things in American shrinking economy and bleak future puts American people under great pressure and creates constant anxiety and neurosis. Guns are easily available in America. Compounded by the fact that America has more guns than the population. Shooting can take place anywhere. Everyday and everywhere a person may be shot, there is no safe place. This insecurity is caused by the powerful gun lobbyists who bought off the legislators and the byproduct of the flawed U.S. constitution. Deaths and destructions by guns will continue until the law is changed. The perils of American capitalism and democracy are plain and clear to the whole world except the supremacists and hegemonists. 

Failed states of the world should not be our fear, worry or nightmare; the failing United States of America should be the biggest concern, fear, worry and nightmare of every American. Please read my article      America Is Committing Suicide.   

American culture is a powerful decadent culture, driven mad by the love of money, power and sex. American society is a very bad society (all you need to do is to live in America to experience and discover for yourself) produced by a bad culture. My disclaimer is: you are at your own risk to live in a violent society. The United States has negative, bad, and immoral influence on the whole world through its pop culture, mass media, movies and music, pornography, greed, commercials, etc. Poor South Korea is an ally of the United States, today South Korea is reaping the benefits of American culture. South Korea is facing a severe sex crisis; TV is the effective vehicle of spreading sex violence, sex exploitation, sex deviation, immorality, lust, lewdness, adultery, divorce, sex crimes, and etc. in South Korean society. I have personally observed and experienced China from 1985 to the present time. It is not difficult to see the deadly American virus also has infected China. In 1985 China was a morally upright nation and Chinese people were honest and decent. Today corruption, crime, violence, fraud, selfishness, indulgence, etc. have become prevalent. The world must not follow the United States to go to Hell. 

7. Government corruption is the single greatest internal threat to the security, liberty, prosperity and equality of any society. 

The New York Times’ Editorial (April 15, 2011) said, “New Yorkers, unfortunately, are all too accustomed to seeing state legislators sent off to jail for their misdeeds. When a court officer slipped handcuffs on Alan Hevesi, the former state comptroller, on Friday morning, however, Mr. Hevesi became the highest-ranking elected official in New York’s modern history to go to prison for corruption. The former sole trustee of the state’s nearly $141 billion pension fund pleaded guilty to accepting more than $1 million in travel expenses, sham consulting fees and campaign contributions from people wanting to invest some of those billions. He was sentenced to one to four years in prison. His conviction should be an urgent reminder to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Legislature of how much they need to do to clean up Albany. Pay-to-play isn’t just a problem in the comptroller’s office, it is a problem throughout the entire political system. The state needs ethics reform, campaign finance reform and redistricting reform. It must restructure the state comptroller’s office.” As a case in point the economic and financial crisis created by Wall Street in 2008 threatened not only the United States but the whole world. 

8.  Bad leaders are the greatest threat to peace and security in the world. 

America has nothing to fear of Russia; all America has to do is to mind its own business, do not provoke or intimidate, do not interfere or intervene, do not be aggressive, do not be self-righteous or self-conceited, do not make or seek enemies, do not try to dominate the world, stop violating the sovereignty of other nations, and do not bad mouth or insult Russia. For the same reason to defend Japan against China would certainly bring about assured mutual destruction and the destruction of the world. When will American leaders learn and change its foreign policy? The most terrifying thing is the fact American leaders and people do not seem to recognize millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world they have killed since the end of World War II in hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions they have conducted and instigated, or realize American hegemony and seeking world domination is the path to Hell. In fact Americans live in fear daily is a result of American democracy, capitalism and imperialism and American way of life and it has nothing to do with Russia or China. 

The most spectacular successes of China’s reform and revitalization and renovation and restoration are characterized by scale, skill, and speed which no other nation had ever achieved before in the shortest period of 40 years under the great leadership of the paramount leader of China Deng Xiaoping. It is the result of the most unprecedented, unambiguous, uncommon, indisputable, unmatchable, and unusual innovation, ingenuity, and relentless industry of Chinese people and capable leaders. I have the honor and pleasure to personally observe and witness the most remarkable transformation of China with a perspective of timeframe from  1985 to the present . The great achievements of China prompt the irrational envy and jealousy and hatred of American, European and Japanese and other leaders. The leaders of White House, Pentagon and State Department persistently and endlessly manufacture lies and rumors and false accusations and issue false and malicious reports against China in order to target and destroy China by all means. The biggest and blackest lie they manufacture and propagate is China threat in order to justify their aggression, provocation, expansion through military actions of sheer hostility in massive and intrusive spying and surveying into China’s territories and placing most advanced weaponry and more than 330,000    troops at China’s doorsteps. The evil intention of America, Japan and others against China are clear and certain – their brinkmanship may trigger a global nuclear war that may destroy and end the world. 

Here are the fundamental problems what is wrong with America: since the end of World War II American leaders have lied and killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the globe in hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions    instigated and conducted by American military under false pretenses but actually intended to expand American influence in seeking absolute military supremacy and world domination. American leaders act like world dictators, they claim authority to approve or disapprove, accept or reject, recognize or not what sovereign states do in their own territories and countries. A blatant example was the fact in 1949 the U.S. violated China’s sovereignty by sending the 7^th  Fleet to protect the defeated Chiang Kai-shek regime and made Taiwan an American colony and running dog. In 1971   American government outrageously violated China’s sovereignty again by illegally and unlawfully giving administrative control of  China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditional surrendered war crime nation of Japan. Not only American leaders do not right the wrong and apologize, they declare to defend Japan against China. Again and again the U.S. interfered and intervened in the internal affairs of many nations. Now  Crimea. Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union, the American and foreign forces try to seduce Ukraine into the American and NATO bloc and use Crimea to block Russia navigation freedom and cripple Russian defense. Crimea has the right of self-determination. It is good and right for Crimea to join Russia whether America, EU or NATO likes it or not. For Crimea to join Russia is not only good for Crimea and also good for world peace. For Ukraine to join American bloc of NATO and EU is stupid and dangerous to world peace. You can say the same: American colonization of Taiwan “would never be recognized” by China. American giving administrative control of Diaoyu Islands to Japan   “would never be recognized” by China. Although the U.S. is located in North America, American “pivot to Asia” as a display of hegemonism, expansionism and world domination “ would never be recognized” by the oppressed and peace-loving nations of the world. It is not surprising that the evil prime minister of Japan and his gang do not fear God because they are pagans, idol worshippers, and people without morals or conscience like animals who deny their war crimes and distort history. American leaders who have lied and killed since World War II do not seem to fear God either, even though they claim and pretend to be Christians. If China and Russia stand together, America and NATO would not dare to attack Russia. If Russia and China stand together, America and Japan and NATO would not dare to attack China. This is the most effective deterrence of “mutual destruction” and global holocaust that will end the world. There is not the slightest evidence that the U.S., NATO and Japan will change their aggression and provocation. The world is marching toward destruction and the final end. Jesus Christ is coming again soon! 

The American defense treaties and military alliances in Asia are not for defense or peace purposes; they are indeed intended to target China and launch war of aggression against China in order to rob China’s territories and loot China’s resources in the East China Sea and the South China Sea and for the U.S. to become the supreme power in Asia Pacific. The American defense treaties and military alliances in Europe with EU and NATO are not for defense and peace purposes; they are indeed intended to target and suppress Russia. What American leaders are doing in Asia Pacific (pivot to Asia policy) and Europe with hundreds of overseas military bases around the globe to encircle China and Russia is for the pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world domination and dictatorship. To seek world dictatorship American leaders have lied and killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world through hundreds of unjust wars and blood military interventions since the end of World War II and deliberately divided the world into two camps, for or anti America. Among the most outrageous lies spoken by American, European and Japanese is China threat and that China’s Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan. American leaders have no moral character and courage to admit in 1971 the United States government violated China’s sovereignty by illegally and unlawfully giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditional surrendered war crime nation of Japan. The evil empire of Japan recently and pretentiously bought and nationalized Diaoyu Islands. 

Never a nation in the history would buy and nationalize its own territory.  The lie is self-evident. The evil Japanese leaders even lied to their own people regarding the deadly facts about radiation and contamination of March 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdowns, who would be so foolish to trust Japanese leaders about the fact exactly how many hundreds of tons of  highly enriched uranium  they have already accumulated enough to make for more than 1,000 nuclear weapons or bombs? Who in the right mind would trust Japanese leaders who publicly and shamelessly denied their war crimes, genocide, sex slavery and atrocities committed during World War II? The evil Japanese leaders have boasted they can build nuclear bombs in half a year. American leaders are responsible for the Japanese aggressive and dangerous situation. It appears American leaders and people have forgotten Pearl Harbor event. Those who have not learned from historical tragedy are doomed to repeat it. The evil prime minister and his gang are making every preparation to have war with China.  This is the clear and present danger to the world created intentionally by the United States, EU, and Japan. 

The United States has been on the wrong side of history since the end of World War II and responsible for killing millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world.  Of hundreds of unjust wars and bloody American interventions, not one was popular, not one was right, not one was good; however, American leaders and media distorted the facts and perverted justice as if they were noble and right; as if they were for human rights, democracy, rule of law, peace and security and justice. Now America and its gang can no longer fool the world, in this days of instant news American lies have been revealed, evil empire exposed, unlawful deeds of aggression and provocation and arbitration disclosed, secrets of torture and tyranny and terror leaked out, deeds of darkness including spying on leaders of nations and violations of the privacy of billions for the whole world to know.   The clear and present danger is the fact the United States has hundreds of overseas military bases to encircle and target China and Russia  with fleets, aircraft careers, nuclear submarines, war planes, radars and hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at China’s doorsteps, conspired with Japan and  rat and rogue nations and others to make false claims to China’s territories in the  South China Sea and the East China Sea  and poised to launch surprised attacks on China. American leaders have miscalculated that American  plan of aggression against China would cost total destruction of America and the world. In the first place what American leaders and militarists   do not seem to fear God or fear of going to hell   all in the pursuit of power, absolute military supremacy, world domination, money and pleasure. The United States, EU, NATO, Japan, etc. must cease their hostilities and aggression, provocation and military actions or the   destruction of the world is inevitable and imminent. 

Since the end of World War II, the United States of America has incited hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions in many nations which had killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world… In the past to name a few of nations violated by America including China, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf, etc., and recently Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine. American leaders have practiced violations of the sovereignty of many nations as a right and breakings of international laws  as a privilege for phony reasons of human rights, rule of law, security, justice, etc. For example, America violated the human rights and privacy of many leaders of nations and spying billions of decent peoples in the world under the pretext of fighting terrorism. In fact,  American terrorism and Islamic terrorism are the two greatest threats to peace and security in the world today.  The U.S. in 1971 violated China’s sovereignty by illegally and unlawfully giving administrative control of   China’s Diaoyu Islands   to the unconditional surrendered war crime nation of Japan, not only American leaders do not apologize and right the wrong, American leaders vow to defend Japan against China. This aggression and provocation may trigger a global nuclear war which will end the world. Obama warned  Russia of ‘costs’ for any military intervention in Ukraine. In fact Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union, NATO and America have no right to interfere and meddle in Ukraine.  

Jesus Christ warns Obama and all warmongers and militarists,  Jhn 8:23-24 ,  “And He was saying to them: You are from   below   , I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” All warmongers, supremacists, militarists, oppressors and aggressors will die in their sins.No nuclear weapons or missiles can save them! 

MEASUREMENT  

Measurement of a society must be focused on positive variables and negative variables. The higher a society scores on positive variables such as equality under the law, clean government, responsive bureaucrats, opportunities for advancement, social harmony, justice, educational achievement, full employment, pay scale, savings, innovation, infrastructure, etc. the better the society. The lower the society scores on negative variables such as violence, crime rate, corruption, abuse of power, bankruptcy, fraud, foreclosure, drug addiction, AIDS, STDs, epidemics, car accident, vandalism, inflation, partisan politics, national debt, budget deficit, etc. the better the society. 

1.    Measurement of a Good Society consists of many variables. For Liberty, the variables entail freedom of speech, religious freedom, freedom of movement, human rights, civil rights, etc. If a nation has freedom of speech, but after a citizen criticizing the government or the leader, he disappears or dies by accident, car crash, drive by shooting, etc. conveniently arranged by the government or loses his job, etc. – then the freedom of speech is phony because the cost is too high. 

2.     The measurement of Prosperity consists of living standard, cost of living index, GNP and GDP, unemployment, income per capita, home ownership, national debt, corporate debt, individual debt, leisure, recreation, travel, etc. 

3.    For Equality, variables to be measured are discrimination in education, employment, lending, etc. Opportunities in advancement include social mobility, higher education, career, home ownership, etc. 

4.     The measurement of Civility includes the variables of uncivilized behavior on the negative side; public sanitation, personal hygiene, infant mortality rate, environmental protection, good will, charity (not tax-deductible), etc. on the positive side. In my study, I discovered public toilet was an important indicator of the level of civilization. Public toilet has definite correlation with civilization. This is a verifiable fact: The higher the civilization, the cleaner the public toilet. The lower the civilization, the dirtier the public toilet. A formula of 4-S can be used to measure the cleanliness of public toilet. The 4-S stands for SIGHT, SMELL, SCENE and SUPPLY  as described above. 

If you want to be a civilized person, the following principles are to be followed and observed. It does not matter you do a thousand and one good things, doing just one bad thing can ruin you. 

(1).    Do not violate the rights of others. 

Just give you an illustration how to apply this principle. When you smoke, you violate the right of others. When you walk your dog to defecate on public or other people property, you violate the right of others. When you pollute the environment, you violate the rights of others. Breaking the line or queue is a violation of the rights of others. There are a thousand and one ways you can violate the rights of others. If you do not flush toilet after use, not only you violate the rights of others, you disgrace yourself. Remember whatever you do, do not violate the rights of others. 

(2).    Do not hurt or harm others. 

(3).    Do not insult others. 

(4).    Do not create problems or cause troubles. 

(5).    Do not speak arrogantly before people. 

(6).    Do not take advantage of others. 

(7).    Do not defraud or deceive people. 

(8).    Do not show violence or aggression. 

(9).    Do not disturb others. 

(10).  Do not display disgraceful or shameful behavior. 

(11).   Do not interrupt others. 

(12).   Do not shout or sing in public. 

(13).   Do not touch the opposite sex. 

(14).   Do not damage property of others. 

These 14 principles presented above will help anyone to become a civilized person. 

Civility is closely tied to sense of responsibility. The higher the sense of responsibility one has the better is one’s conduct of civility. Sense of responsibility is measurable; it can be divided into four categories:  

(A). No (zero) sense of responsibility, example those who litter, spit and smoke.  

(B). Low (1) sense of responsibility. Example, those who stop smoking only when they are told not to smoke in forbidden area.  

(C). Medium (2) sense of responsibility. Example, those who avoid smoking in prohibitive area.  

(D). High (3) sense of responsibility. Example, those who do not smoke at all and prevent their family members and friends from smoking. 

5.   For Security, the variables to be measured include safe neighborhood, safe food and drug, clean air and water, employment index, average life span, retirement with pension, terrorism, war and peace, fair legal system, affordable health care, etc. 

The Good Society that I envision is not an Utopia. The Good Society is not the Kingdom of God. The Good Society is not a perfect society. The Good Society is not the Paradise of God. Christianity demands that you love God and your neighbor.

Jesus Christ demands His followers to love their enemies. The Good Society only requires that you “do no harm” to others, you do not need to love them; but you must be nice.

Humanly speaking if you want to help build a Good Society, you need to contribute by not doing many bad things and being of a number of good things. You can become a member of Good Society if you DO NOT DO the followings and TO BE the following things.

In conclusion, 

There is no hope for Scandinavia because it has joined the Axis of Evil. You cannot find a good society anywhere in the world today.

The society of a nation is good or bad to the extent how it scores based on the measurement of the five imperatives of Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Civility and Security. It is impossible to have a perfect society. Perfection is a noble goal that demands continuous efforts. A good society is a dynamic concept; a society can continuously improve. The higher the scores on all counts the better the society. The imperatives are fixed, but the variables are not. By improving the variables under each imperative, the society can be improved. Therefore, a society can improve or worsen itself depends on how the leaders act and how people conduct themselves. What should the leader of a nation do?  Pro 8:20 , “I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice.” Abraham Lincoln practiced a government of the people, by the people and for the people. President Richard Nixon sought a world of just and lasting peace. Whether a society is good or bad, culture plays an important role. Take America, the cultural values of money, power and sex have plagued the society with all sorts of problems. No nation which is driven mad by love of money, power and sex can last long. Although America claims to be a Christian nation, its values of money, power and sex are contrary to the Christian values of faith, hope, and love. 

There are two types of cultures: inferior and superior. Inferior cultures are characterized by violence, greed, deceit, corruption, incivility, laziness, uncleanliness, waste, dissipation, immorality, arrogance and short view of life. Superior cultures are characterized by wisdom, compassion, honesty, integrity, industry, civility, cleanliness, discipline, thrift, virtue, humility and long view of life. In brief, virtue or vice can define and determine the character of a culture. The more virtues a culture has, the better the culture. The more vices a culture has, the worse off the culture. Inferior cultures produce inferior peoples; inferior peoples make an inferior society. Superior cultures produce superior peoples and superior peoples build a superior society. A nation possessed and driven by the values of money, power and sex is bound to fail and lose. A society characterized by the values of money, power and sex is doomed to failure. 

A good society is not possible without a good government. Government, any government, any form of government, is inherently corrupt, dangerous, mischievous, abusive and wasteful. The only tool to check on government is people’s sovereignty. People’s sovereignty is the principle that the people (citizens) hold the supreme authority over government and officials. People’s sovereignty is expressed or implemented through a general referendum. Referendum is the tool to dismiss a government or remove an official (elected or appointed). Impeachment has been proven many times to be useless, wasteful, ineffective, unjust and partisan, at best an exercise of futility. People’s sovereignty means people (citizens) have the supreme authority over the government and officials. When 51% of citizens cast a vote of no confidence in any branch of government, that branch of government is automatically dismissed; an election is called for to reorganize the government. When 51% of citizens cast a vote of no confidence in any elected or appointed official, that official is automatically removed; and an election is called for to fill the office. This system of government keeps all officials (no matter what position) straight and toes the lines. General referendum authorized by people’s sovereignty is the most effective tool to maintain and make government clean and just, and officials free from corruption. The American system of government is devoid of this corrective tool. A Constitutional Clause is required to implement this noble and practical principle of government and politics. 

A good society can be good only so far; but a bad society can be bad in infinite ways. The extent, scope, level and nature of corruption, fraud, violence, injustice, irresponsibility, immorality, criminality, greed, abuse of power, extortion, oppression, exploitation, etc. are very difficult to describe and measure. The responsible person of Taiwan hospital which gave HIV blood to patients said it was a system fault. How convenient! You cannot punish or send the system to jail. A culture where people practice loud and fierce squabbling and quarreling in public is a very poor and undesirable culture. An irresponsible and unaccountable system of government is the worst; it is worse than a dictatorship because you can blame a dictator for all the problems of the country. You cannot blame anyone in an unaccountable and irresponsible system of government. In a nation or society where no one is responsible and accountable for anything, it is doomed to destruction is a matter of time. 

In October 2012 one afternoon I was resting by the West Lake, enjoying the weather and scenery. It happened two Chinese women (Hangzhou natives) were also sitting there. We started the conversation and I told them I was here in 1985 and had lectured at Zhejiang University twice. I said Hangzhou has undergone tremendous changes and I asked them: Is Hangzhou getting better or worse in everything? They gave affirmative answer and said positively that every aspect of life in Hangzhou is getting better, except transportation and of course there were not that many cars then in 1985. I have lived almost all my life in California, I have watched California getting worse and worse because of illegal aliens, black and Latino gangs, etc. When Nixon was president, it was American golden era. I just met an Englishman on the subway train; he told me his wife is making more money in Shanghai than they could do in London. 

The trend of a nation is of great importance. A poor nation getting richer and richer is better than a rich nation getting poorer and poorer. Europeans know they are getting poorer and worse. The 99 percent of Americans know they are getting poorer and worse. It is much easier for a nation to get worse and worse than to get better and better. For a nation to get better or worse has a lot to do with the kind of system, the kind of government, the kind of culture, the kind of leaders, and the kind of people. In the last 30 years under the great leadership of  Deng Xiaoping, China has achieved spectacular successes that no nation had ever done before in such a short period of time. However, after opening up the greed of American capitalism has infected China critically. The material aspects of China are getting better and better, the moral aspects of China are getting worse and worse.  

HOW TO CONDUCT A SURVEY OF A SOCIETY  

This is how to conduct a simple and quick survey of a society. If you want to survey your own country or visit a foreign nation, make sure tour the big cities for small towns and villages do not represent a nation no matter how good or bad. For example, you will find French people in Paris in general unfriendly and in fact obnoxious if you speak English, and taxi drivers dishonest. French people told me people in countryside are more polite. When you tour a city, look for the following: 

I. LIBERTY 

Check the following: 

1. How police treat the public; 

2. How often you see police or military; 

3. Attitude and behavior of government officials and workers; 

4. Quality of Government services; 

5. TV news and publications and propaganda; 

6. Freedom of expression and religious freedom; 

7. Freedom of movement and public transportation system. 

II. PROSPERITY 

Look at the following: 

1. The general appearance of population whether decent or sloppy; 

2. The condition of streets and shops and shopping malls; 

3. The merchandise sold at shopping malls and food at supermarkets; 

4. The general appearance of office buildings and houses and public facilities; 

5. How crowded are banks and hospitals and waiting time; 

6.  How many beggars you see in various places in one day; 

7.  What is the unemployment rate. 

III. EQUALITY 

Examine the following: 

1.  How many women and minorities are among high ranking officials; 

2.  What percentage of women and minorities are in executive positions of big corporations; 

3. What percentage of women and minorities are attending major universities; 

4. What percentage of population own their homes; 

5. What percentage of women and minorities own businesses; 

6. What is the composition of prison population; 

7. Is the legal system fair and effective. 

IV. CIVILITY 

Observe the following: 

1.  How prevalent are people who smoke and spit and litter; 

2.  How clean or dirty are public toilets;

3.  How people drive and ride and walk in the streets; 

4.  How people treat the elderly, women and children; 

5.  How people treat strangers and foreigners; 

6.  How people communicate with each other; 

7.  How people respect the rights of others. 

V. SECURITY 

Investigate the following: 

1.  How safe are the homes and streets at night; 

2.  How many murders, rapes and robberies, and frauds committed in a month; 

3. How prevalent are petty thefts and street violence; 

4.  Do you feel safe wherever you are; 

5.  Are there gangs and organized criminals around; 

6.  How is the general environment (social, physical and moral); 

7.  How safe is food, drink and drugs. 

Note: To the extent of your knowledge and skill, you will obtain some useful knowledge and reach a conclusion of how the society is. 

There is no reason why good people cannot build a good society. It is far, far better for the world to compete in building a good society than in building nuclear stockpiles. Nations should use their resources in building a good society instead wasting so much on wars and weapons of mass destruction.  

Pro 14:34 , “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Do what is right is righteousness, and righteousness exalts a nation – not nuclear power or money. Aggression is a sin, and sin is a disgrace to any people. Imperialism is not an honor, aggression is a disgrace. But a good society is pleasant;  

Psa 133:1,   “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!” How good and pleasant it is for the peoples of the world to live in peace and harmony! 

A white supremacist suggests the world is in need of a  superpower. Absolutely not. The superpower is an imperial and hegemonic power, perpetually working to expand its sphere of influence and interest worldwide at the expense of other nations and violating their sovereignty. The superpower divides the world into for-and-anti superpower blocs. The superpower is constantly making preparations for wars of conquest.  The superpower is the threat of security and instability, the cause of death and destruction. The superpower interferes and intervenes in the internal matters of other nations.  The superpower wants to dominate and dictate the world.  What the world needs is a  supernation  which exerts moral leadership without aggression. The supernation sets an example of a model nation in every aspect, from development to serving the interest of its people. The supernation builds a good society which all nations admire and emulate. The supernation seeks peace and prosperity, harmony and mutual benefit for all nations. 

In recent years a significant trend is taking place in China: not only many foreign students from Western nations are studying in China, and substantial number of peoples from most advanced Western nations are also living and working in China. I do not know their exact population. I have personally met many Westerners from America, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland, Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden and Norway), etc. who with their families live and work in Shanghai. Ask yourself why would citizens of advanced Western nations live and work in China? Especially people from Scandinavia, Germany and others who have highest standards of living with social benefits; an English man told me personally that his wife is making more money in Shanghai than in London. If China is so bad and poor as the Western media claims to be, do these foreigners are deprived of personal freedom, human rights, religious freedom, rule law, etc.? Some Americans even told me that they did not understand why the American government targets and tarnishes China all the time. 

London-based economic consultancy, the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), says on 27 Dec 2013 China won’t eclipse the U.S. economy until  2028, much later than some analysts have suggested. That is the collective opinion of Western experts. In view of the forward-looking and wise policy of Chinese leaders in rapidly modernizing rural areas, mechanizing farming, increasing productivity of 700 million peasants, and accumulative effect of the great achievements and successes of China’s reform in the last 40 years areas, I for one differ with the West and predict that  China will surpass the U.S. economy in 2026. Let the world take notice and see which prediction will come true. I do not have any doubt that China can achieve the China dream, and no nation can stop it. It is   silly and self-destructive for the American leaders to launch a war of aggression against China. It is stupid and suicidal to be on the wrong side of history with the evil empire of Japan. For China does not want to be the world dictator as America seeks, and China does not seek absolute military supremacy as America does. China only wants to rejuvenate and revive China to its past glory and preeminence, and seek peace, prosperity and harmony in the world.  Let American leaders learn from President Richard Nixon in seeking a just and lasting peace. 

On  December 26, 2013 the prime minister of Japan formally in an official capacity glorified and worshiped convicted and executed Japanese war criminals as Japanese national heroes and thus once and for all declared to the world that  Japan denies its war crime  nation status and refuses its war crime liabilities and responsibilities; and sets himself up as the public enemy of Chinese and Korean peoples who suffered immense inhumane treatment and loss of countless lives under the brutalities of the Japanese aggressors and militarists. China needs to take appropriate action, tit for tat to counter Japanese hostility and animosity. 

A Chinese traitor and an American running dog under the guise of an obscure professor and paid by Japanese media made a false statement that the Chinese leader is emerging a dictator. This ignoramus obscurantist who is a shame to his ancestor does not know the definition of a dictator. The leader who works for the greatest good of the greatest number of people is a true democratic leader. The Japanese prime minister is a virtual dictator who deceives his people and works against the good of his country and the world.  The words of the prime minister of Japan are intended to propagandize democracy, law and peace to fool the world; indeed his deeds are for dictatorship, lawlessness and war. It is time for  1.45 billion strong Chinese worldwide to be united as one man.   American leaders are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.  A hypocrite is a person who pretends to be what he is not. It was the U.S. leaders who violated China’s sovereignty and international law by illegally giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands in 1971 to the unconditional surrendered war crime nation of Japan, now American leaders not only unwilling to admit their crime and right the wrong, they condescendingly and cunningly said the dispute must be solved by international law. Lawless people and international bully talk about rule of law is like the prostitutes talk about chastity, virginity, and virtue.  America is behind almost all of China’s and world’s problems. 

China has never faced a greater danger or threat than it is now    because the United States has persistently viewed, spoken and acted and treated China as an adversary and America has lined up its allies in Asia Pacific with many military bases equipped with the most advanced weaponry and weapon systems, fleets, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, radars, warplanes, and thousands and thousands of troops stationed at China’s doorsteps poised to strike at   China’s nuclear capabilities and facilities.  The United States under its “prompt global strike” program is capable of striking targets anywhere in the world in as little as an hour with deadly precision. American running dogs are making every military move in words and deeds to repeatedly provoke China. Just as the Axis of Evil led by America in Asia targets China, so does NATO led by America targets Russia. Sad and tragic are those nations that exist for the reason of warmongering and making wars of conquest. 

On December 11, 2013   Russia announced that it may retaliate with nukes if it comes under conventional attack. China has no option but do the same. China must retaliate with nukes when it comes under conventional attack. This is the right strategy and policy    that can deter aggression. President Putin is the smartest strategist of modern Russia. The American supremacists and militarists and hegemonists plan to use protracted conventional war to engage China in Mainland China, or limited nuclear war launched from its Asian military bases to destroy China’s nuclear capabilities and facilities. Chinese leaders must not fall into American dirty trick or trap of having a conventional war or a limited nuclear war in China. China needs to declare if  being attacked with conventional weapons, China will not hesitate to execute with nuclear weapons.    If America defends Japan against China, China will be forced to execute “mutual destruction” policy through massive nuclear retaliations targeting the whole American mainland via land, sea, air and space with speed and accuracy that no American missiles or anti-missiles can stop them. No American weapons can save America. The stars of Heaven are against America. In addition, there will be coordinated massive attacks inside America like one million 9-11 incidents, the whole America will be burning like one million Sodom(s) and Gomorrah(s).  Furthermore, American overseas interests (including all embassies and consulates and military bases and big firms) will be wiped out simultaneously and then some… 

According the American Monroe Doctrine, the United States has no legal right or legitimate interest in Asia Pacific because America is located in North America.  The South China Sea, the East China Sea and China Sea (Yellow Sea) all belong to China legally by birth right and geography for thousands of years. Recently American warship almost collided with China warship in the South China Sea is warning to the United States not to cause miscalculated war. The United States fleets should return to America, because they have no business in China’s territorial waters except for aggression.   In a global nuclear war there will be no winner.  A global nuclear holocaust will destroy and end the world. Americans must not be stupid to die for Japs. American leaders should learn from the great American President Richard Nixon in seeking a just and lasting peace. In self-interest, American people must rise up to demand the U.S. leaders and militarists to stop encircling, oppressing and targeting China and Russia. For peace is a million times better than war, let each nation seek  peace and harmony and prosperity in order to build its own good society. 

A good society based on the theory described above is not a Utopia; but it is possible and practical. A good society is not the Kingdom of God.  To love your neighbor is a characteristic of the Kingdom of God. What a good society requires is simply do no harm to your neighbor and be a good neighbor. 

At the present, Scandinavia is closest to have a Good Society; but Scandinavian governments have made terrible mistakes, if not corrected, they will destroy what they have achieved so far. China is the only nation which is clearly marching towards the goal;  China is getting better and better in everything, but getting worse in  corruption, pollution and crime. China has achieved so much in the short period of  40 years which no nation had ever done before; although China needs to take decisive actions to correct some deviations along the way. I  Hope Chinese leaders and people can do.

Since I founded the Theory of Good Society (1975-2021) some 45 years have past; why I am pessimistic whether any national soil is suitable to build a Good Society? In the first place human nature as it is is the first and greatest obstacle. To build a Good Society requires good citizens. There are too many bad people in any country.  

Can you imagine amid the CORONAVIRUS pandemic 2021, there are groups of people in America who vehemently and irrationally oppose wearing a mask which is in their self-interest to do so? Those who do not care about themselves, will they care about others? In building a Good Society, there are things citizens must do and there are things that citizens must not do. If I were the philosopher king of this kingdom, won’t I be forced to execute the wicked and exile the undesirable? How do you expect warmongers, imperialists, capitalists, monopolists, militarists, supremacists, racists and terrorists to change their defective culture and evil practice? 

Jer 13:23:

“Can the Ethiopian change his skin
Or the leopard his spots?
Then you also can do good
Who are accustomed to doing evil.”

Note: Ethiopian in Hebrew is Kuwshiy  which means Cushi, “their 

blackness”, a Cushite, the black man; – which occurs 23 times in the 

Old Testament. The Ethiopian is a black man. There is nothing wrong for a man to be born black, it is only wrong if he has a black character. The leopard has spots is a fact. It is impossible for a black man to change his skin unless by white skin transplant. It is impossible for those who are accustomed to doing evil and change to doing good. In fact, a Good Society does not require citizens of spiritual nature; but it at least requires citizens of moral character. Children who have not seen a leopard can visit a zoo. Spot in Hebrew is 

chabarburah which means stripes, marks, 

streaks; – which occurs 1 time in the Old 

Testament. Accustomed in Hebrew is 

limmuwd which means learned; taught; 

discipled; used; – which occurs 6 times 

in the Old Testament.

Immanuel Kant rings a bell when he said, “The 

greatest problem for the human race, to the solution of which Nature drives man, is the achievement of a universal civic society which administers law among men.”

The Good Society is impossible without first “the achievement of a universal civic society which administers law among men.”

Whether America is a good society or not, what American leaders and politicians say do not count. Whether America is a good society or not, what the peoples of the world say matter. Above all, whether America is good society or not, what American citizens say do matter.

It looks like no nation can even achieve a good society, much less a perfect society.  The root cause of the problem is that the natural man is not good. In 1976 Scandinavia was close to achieving a good society, now sadly there is not a bright spot in the whole wide world. I have given up Scandinavia, there is not one good country in the world.

I am not optimistic about the world. The world is getting worse and worse as predicted in the Bible until the Lord Jesus Christ returns to establish the Kingdom of Heaven.

Do you look for a better country? If you cannot find below, look above. Jesus Christ is coming again to establish the Kingdom of God on a new Earth, the New Jerusalem, the Holy City.

You can become a citizen of Heaven by accepting the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You can do it now without the help of a lawyer and it is free.  The eternal life is a gift of God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and the saved also inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

An updated issue brief looks at the drivers of health spending in the U.S. and key differences between the U.S. and other large, wealthy nations. The analysis finds that people in the U.S. spent $5,683 more per person on health care compared to those in similarly large and wealthy countries. Almost 80% of the difference in spending came from inpatient and outpatient care costs. Many retail prescription drugs also cost more in the U.S. In 2021, the U.S. spent $1,635 per capita on prescription drugs, including over-the counter drugs, while comparable countries spent $944 on average

The analysis is available on the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, an online information hub dedicated to monitoring and assessing the performance of the U.S. health system.

How does the quality of the U.S. health system compare to other countries?

By Emma Wager Twitter, Imani Telesford, Shameek Rakshit, Nisha Kurani, and Cynthia Cox   KFF 

·  October 9, 2024

“Despite spending nearly twice as much per capita on healthcare compared to similarly large and wealthy nations, the United States has a lower life expectancy than peer nations and has seen worsening measures of health outcomes since the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Generally, the U.S. performs worse in long-term health outcomes measures (such as life expectancy), certain treatment outcomes (such as maternal mortality and congestive heart failure hospital admissions), some patient safety measures (such as obstetric trauma with instrument and medication or treatment errors), and patient experiences of not getting care due to cost. The U.S. performs similarly to or better than peer nations in some other measures of treatment outcomes (such as mortality rates within 30 days of acute hospital treatment) and patient safety (such as rates of post-operative sepsis).

Across a wide variety of measures of quality, the U.S. health system appears to perform worse than peer nations on more indicators than it does better. However, inconsistent and imperfect metrics make it difficult to firmly assess system-wide health quality. Some measures of quality – particularly long-term measures like life expectancy – are not only reflective of the health system itself, but also of differences in socioeconomic conditions and other differences between countries that are largely outside of the domain of the health system.”

“Health expenditures per person in the U.S. were $12,555 in 2022, which was over $4,000 more than any other high-income nation. The average amount spent on health per person in comparable countries ($6,651) is about half of what the U.S. spends per person. ”

Mind you this was 2022 data, it is much worse in 2024.

This is so-called land of democracy, freedom, and justice: Under the capitalism, America helps all monopolies (including drug companies) to make as much as possible to fleece the captive consumers. Regulators are a joke, agents of industries (but highly paid federal employees) to protect the interest of business and industries. The US Anti-Trust laws are useless.

The fact that America allows health care terrorism to exist demonstrates the dismal failure of American model of democracy, freedom, human rights, and justice so-called. Western imperialism, capitalism, and American healthcare terrorism fitly called the nefarious Evil Trinity.

There are several forms of terrorism practiced in the world today. Islamic terrorism is a threat and terror by extreme religious radical groups to kill and murder innocent peoples through bombing, suicide bombing, beheading, and other fierce and violent measures driven and supported by religious motives. Western imperial terrorism is a threat to world peace because the Axis of Evil wants to maintain status quo in dictating and dominating the world through military conquests, economic sanctions, diplomatic closure, trade exclusion, territorial expansion, monopoly in every field to oppress nations and peoples by lying, killing and robbing all because they do not bow to Western hegemony. Every monopolistic power has a tendency to terrorize the weak and helpless majority. Legal terrorism is practiced by lawyers, professionals, and the rich and powerful taking advantage of flaws in legal system to exploit and extort the poor and innocent. For example, in America an insignificant daily wants to increase its business and circulation, using a collection agency, to pick up names and addresses from telephone books by sending fraudulent billing excusing peoples of owing subscriptions without payment, with the threat if the falsely accused persons do not pay, their credit will be ruined.  Since the fictitious subscription bill is less than the fee of hiring a lawyers, thus many innocent peoples are forced to pay the bill they do not owe in the first place.  If the victim is lucky to have a lawyer friend, the immoral newspaper perpetrator just apologizes and cancels the bill with immunity from legal prosecution or without penalty. Thus the organized crime of the newspaper and collection agency conspire to defraud and terrorize innocent public. This dirty trick is a guaranteed profitable enterprise. In America, people can sue you for anything or nothing, litigation is a big business in America, not only facetious but highly profitable. There are other forms of terrorism which we are not to dwell here. Such as political terrorism, economic terrorism, trade terrorism, technology terrorism, financial terrorism, cultural terrorism, military terrorism, medical terrorism, transportation terrorism, etc.

This article is written to inform you the existence and reality of Healthcare Terrorism in America the so-called land of the free, human rights, democracy, rule of law, equal protection, justice, etc. The data are obviously outdated but you can add imagination to assess the weight and its seriousness. Healthcare terrorism is not getting better but getting worse in America. The government is not doing anything to correct or prevent it.

Act 13:10, “and said, “You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord?” Do you know these Scriptures are rightly to apply to whom?

Note: That was the language used by Apostle Paul regarding Elymas the magician, son of the devil, full of all deceit and fraud, enemy of all righteousness. What harsher and stronger condemning language would Apostle Paul use if he knew how crooked and corrupt American doctors and hospitals owners who habitually defraud and overcharge patients to cause millions of families go bankrupt for decades?!

Lately the virus of the greed of American capitalism has infected China very bad. There are infinite varieties of fraud mushrooming and multiplying in China. One factor which becomes prominent is the  healthcare, medicine and treatment.  On 11/17/14 I went to see an eye doctor and asked her about two eye remedies (I do not mention them because I do not want to promote them) which are widely advertised on Chinese TV day and night. There are so-called famous doctors, specialists, professors and fake doctors who claim they can cure any kind of eye problems from cataract to conjunctivitis — all kinds of eye diseases. The eye doctor said no such medicine. There are also great quantity of other fake medical claims of curing diabetes, heart disease, liver, kidney problems, asthma, cancer, etc. Have you ever heard that wearing a special kind of wristwatch can cure high blood pressure? The fake medicine and fake cure only serve to make big money for crooks and criminals by fooling the unfortunate patients and people who are desperate. If the government does not stop the public propaganda of quackery and fake medicine, FAKE NEWS when the flood gate of fraud is open, it cannot be stopped, it would be worse than Ebola. 

What China can do: 

(1). Prosecute and punish severely all persons who make false claims of being famous doctors, big doctors, specialists and professors who are not. 

(2). All medicine or remedy must be approved by China FDA to be tested effective and safe before it can be promoted or sold anywhere; when crooks and criminals and corrupt corporations are caught, make them bankrupt and seize all their assets. If their fake drug or false treatment has killed people, execute them also.  

(3). Prosecute all people who participate in false testimony of fake drug and useless treatment because they are paid to give false testimonial on TV which is a felony. 

(4). Prosecute the owners or responsible persons of the   TV channels    that broadcast programs of fake doctors and fake drugs. 

Fraud is the financial Ebola which must be totally eradicated or it may sink a nation. Corruption is the CORONAVIRUS that ruins a country.

Recently a Chinese graduate student went to study in America. She had a very bad toothache but she does not have dental insurance. After great hesitancy she was introduced to a dentist, who dared not extract her tooth but referred her to another dentist of Harvard University. The dentist declined to pull her tooth also. Although these two dentists did nothing for the Chinese student and yet they charged her $300.   Incompetency pays well in America because of monopoly. This is a clear example of predatory service and unfair billing practice. Then an old lady who is her friend took her to her dentist. The old lady’s dentist extracted her tooth and charged her $325. All together her painful tooth cost her $625 which she had nothing to say. Had she gone to the right dentist in the first time, it would have saved her $300. Is this not  healthcare terrorism born of monopoly and practiced in greed that makes all patients victims? 

Comparison is to make things clear. Having lived almost all my life in  California, except a short period in Washington, D.C. and Scandinavia; I can testify to the experiences I have suffered under dentists in California, not in Scandinavia or any other part of America where I never had dental work done. Four types of dental services which scar me most are root canal, filling cavity, extraction, making and fitting of partial dentures. Once a capitalist dentist in order to save money, he gave me insufficient dose of anesthetic; and when he started to pull my tooth, I was pulled up a little from the dental chair and screamed! So by analogy when we say you will have your tooth pulled out, it means you are going to face great pain. To say you are going to have a root canal means you are going to undergo the unbearable. To have your cavity filled is to hear the unpleasant music of cutting and polishing like construction workers do. To wear denture is like to wear new shoe. The other worry is often reported on American TV about unsanitary suction tubes, dental tools and gloves because of the fear of contamination and infection by the blood and fluids of AIDS patients. In November 2014 it was shocking to hear in England dentist infected a patient with AIDS and died! The unbelievable is the fact not only China has achieved fantastic successes in the field of economy, manufacturing, etc., the Shanghai 9th People’s Hospital (Affiliated with  Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine) provides excellent dental services except the waiting time is unbearable because of big crowds.

“Who Does Government Serve? Whose interests are served when Pelosi sells out health care and Pompeo sells out peace? 

By    Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Global Research, February 15, 2019

Region:   USA

Theme:   Police State & Civil Rights

The US health system is the most high cost and dysfunctional health care system in the world. The reason is that it is privatized. In the rest of Western civilization the system is socialized.  

The reason health care is socialized in civilized countries is not only to provide health care to citizens who otherwise could not afford it, but also to reduce the cost. In a privatized system, a profit has to be turned at every level: the general practitioner, the specialist, the diagnostic facility, the ambulance service, the emergency room, the hospital, the hospice, the health insurance company. All of these levels of profit build up the cost. 

Of course, in any system cost-saving regulations can expand cost-producing bureaucracies, and no system will work well without moral and virtue rules that instill a compassionate and responsible attitude on the part of health care providers. 

There is no doubt whatsoever that the cost of health care in the US would diminish dramatically if the US had a socialized health care system in which there is no profit, no paperwork, only health care. And this is why it will not happen. 

In the US system, health care is profitable to private interests. They are concerned with their profits, not with the cost of health care to people. It is profitable to all the fraud prevention, public and private, bureaucracies. It is profitable to the members of the US Senate and House of Representatives, as private health care companies are major donors. 

Pelosi’s plan is to achieve “universal coverage” via the Obama Affordable Care Act. This misnamed legislation achieves health coverage for Americans by mandating that they purchase private insurance policies for their health insurance. Many Americans have not, because the premium, together with the deductible and co-pays are so high that few can afford to use the policy. The perfect deal for a health insurance company is to collect a premium on a policy whose deductibles and copays make it too expensive to use. 

The answer is that government does not serve the citizens. Government is just another private business that serves those whose campaign contributions put senators, representatives, and presidents in office. What liberals, conservatives, and libertarians do not understand is that government is a private activity like a capitalist business, not a public organization. 

Consider the symbiotic relationship between foreign policy and the military/security budget. The massive Pentagon budget and the massive power of the CIA and NSA require a dangerous enemy. Thus, US foreign policy creates the “Russian threat,” the “Chinese threat,” the “Iranian threat,” the “Al Qaeda threat,” the “ISIS threat,” the “Saddam Hussein threat,” the “Gaddafi threat,” the “Assad threat,” and now the “Maduro threat.” In order to maximize profits, the military/security complex increases the risks of war. In other words, the profits come at an expense greater than the budget imposed on taxpayers. In the case of war with Russia, the cost is the destruction of life on earth. ” 

American health care is the most profitable in the world because it is predatory, fraudulent, ineffective, wasteful, criminal, costly, corrupt, crooked, monopolistic, capitalistic, ORGANIZED CRIME and immoral and blood-sucking enterprise. 

The misfortunes of patients are the great fortunes of the American healthcare providers.  Although America claims to be a democratic nation with the rule of law, it has the most costly, overcharged, ineffective, fraudulent and predatory healthcare system is the world.  American doctors, dentists and hospital owners take advantage of patients and slaughter them mercilessly and bankrupt them financially without fear of prosecution. This organized crime syndicate of doctors and hospital owners commit their corrupt practices with impunity for decades. Unbelievable but it is true, American doctors and hospitals charge and overcharge and fraudulently charge whatever they please for decades. They suck more than $8 trillion dollars a year from American economy. That is the definition of predatory practice as doctors and dentists and hospital owners take advantage of patients and prey on all kinds of pain, diseases, and incurable diseases of unfortunate human beings which almost include everyone except people of the legislative, judiciary and executive branch of government. Their healthcare costs are paid by American taxpayers without fear of bankruptcy or catastrophe. About 20 years ago emergency doctors in Orange County took X-rays of my injured thumb and declared I had arthritis and demanded me for treatment. Believe me; I never had treatment for arthritis even to this day. My fingers are still straight and bend well without pain. That is called fraudulent practice. A dentist hits a jackpot if you need a root canal. An elderly who needs complete dentures gives dentist a wind-fall of profit. Doctors hit the jackpot if you have diabetes, asthma, allergies, back pain, cancer, tumor, migraines, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney stones, gall stones, osteoporosis, skin diseases, liver disease, heart disease, etc. Surgeons hit the jackpot if you need cataract surgery, heart surgery, brain surgery, lung surgery, thoracic surgery, pelvic replacement, etc. If you have terminal diseases like cancer of all sorts, your fortune is going to be removed and moved to your doctors and hospital owners. Some diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. make you slaves to drug companies for life because you need to take medications every day for life. The misfortunes of patients are the great fortunes of organized syndicate of doctors, hospital owners, labs and medical suppliers, drug and insurance companies without end in the American world. 

“Ponder that: a quarter of the U.S. economy devoted to health care. Would we be better off? Probably not. Countless studies have shown that many tests, surgeries and medical devices are either ineffective or unneeded. Greater health-care spending forfeits any superior moral claim on our wealth by slowly crowding out other national needs.” 

There are 3 terrorisms in the world today: 

(1).  American imperial terrorism of aggression and expansion and world domination. 

(2).  American healthcare terrorism of frauds, predatory practices, overcharges and highest cost. 

(3).  Islamic terrorism of mass murders. 

In this article we deal only with American healthcare terrorism.  

There are seven evils of American healthcare system: 

(1).   Doctors and hospitals make all the decisions with regard to tests, treatments, drugs, procedures, equipment and hospitalizations without consultation and authorization of the patients. These crooks and criminals have a blank check to charge the patients whatever they please with immunity and impunity.

(2).    Doctors and hospitals maximize profits by maximizing tests, treatments, drugs, procedures, equipment and hospitalizations not for the benefit of patients but solely for the profits of doctors and hospitals, labs and medical suppliers, drugs and insurance companies. 

(3).    Doctors and hospitals maximize charges by fraudulent and excessive billing. 

(4).    Doctors and hospitals deliberately do not disclose costs in advance so that they can maximize profits without consent of the patients. 

(5).    Doctors and hospitals operate like organized crime syndicate and  maximize utilization of physicians, radiologists, and specialists not for the benefits of patients but for their own profits. 

(6).    Doctors and hospitals commit  predatory and fraudulent practices in order to fleece and bankrupt patients to maximize earning unlawful and illegal profits with respect to tests, treatments, procedures, drugs, supplies, equipment and hospitalizations. 

(7).    Doctors and hospitals can charge whatever their please without government control and without penalty. 

(8). Why no government official would make known to the public the exorbitant prices these doctors and hospital owners charge to the patients item by item?

(9). Why no American mass media that enjoy making fake news and disinformation and misinformation about China and Russia, stop and start to tell the truth about the American healthcare system?

You ask how this is possible? It is only possible in America – the land of free crooks and criminals run amok. 

These are the evils caused by American political system of serving the special interests at public expense and capitalistic system of greed runs amok. 

Why do not the American people do anything about the most costly and predatory and fraudulent healthcare system in the world? 

American people are helpless and desperate and there is no relief or recourse for them because the government does not work for them. 

Tracy Weber, Charles Ornstein and Jennifer LaFleur (June 20, 2013) reported, “More than 700 doctors  nationwide wrote prescriptions for elderly and disabled patients in highly questionable and potentially harmful ways, according to     a report of Medicare’s drug program      released Thursday. 

The review by the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services flags those doctors as “very extreme ” in their prescribing and says Medicare should do more to investigate or stop them. 

The study mirrors a     ProPublic investigation published in The Washington Post    last month. That report found that Medicare had not protected patients from doctors and other health-care professionals prescribing large quantities of potentially harmful, disorienting or addictive drugs. 

Medicare’s prescription drug program was started in 2006 and accounts for about one of every four drugs dispensed nationwide. Last year, the government spent $62 billion subsidizing the drugs of  32 million people. 

“Strong oversight of the Medicare prescription drug program is critical for protecting patients from harm,” Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.) said in an e-mail. 

The inspector general’s report focused on the prescribing by nearly  87,000 general-care physicians, such as family practitioners and internists, in urban and suburban areas in 2009. These doctors accounted for about half of all the prescribing in the program that year. 

The review found more than 2,200 doctors whose records stood out in one of several areas: prescriptions per patient, brand-name drugs, painkillers and other addictive drugs, or the number of pharmacies that dispensed their orders. 

Of those, 736 were flagged as “extreme outliers.” Their patterns, the report says, raised questions about whether the prescriptions were “legitimate or necessary“. 

The cost to the government was enormous in some instances. Medicare paid $9.7 million for the prescriptions of one California doctor alone    — that is 151 times more than the cost of an average doctor’s tally, the report says.” 

American lawmakers discuss the issue of how to pay for healthcare for the undocumented (illegal) immigrants (aliens) while millions of American citizens go bankrupt by the most costly, fraudulent, and excessively charged healthcare system in the world. Why lawmakers do not discuss how to stop and punish healthcare providers (doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, labs and medical suppliers) from defrauding and fleecing American people is unthinkable???????????? 

1.  During the Carter administration, I proposed a national healthcare plan that would cover everybody and the total cost would not exceed $500 billions. 

Carter was not interested and did not even care to reply; but later I received a letter from him asking for donation after he was rejected by most American voters. For many years, the administrations of both parties let the beast of health care providers (doctors, hospitals, insurance and drug companies, labs, medical suppliers, etc.) loose to slaughter the American people financially greatly mercilessly. Today healthcare providers suck more than $8 trillion dollars annually from the American economy. The cost of health care is rising exponentially because the beast of greed is never satisfied like the Bottomless Pit, wanting more and more of money. The worst of all, the government is not stopping it and not doing anything to regulate the fraudulent and predatory industry. The government is not doing anything in the last 50 years or more.

A blank check is given unconditionally to corrupt, greedy and predatory health-care practices. 

2.   When I was a poor student working my way at college, I discovered a great injustice. 

I had first hand knowledge about an unwed black young woman who came to the hospital for abortion,  she had three doctors assigned to take care of her all paid by Medicaid. When I was sick as a poor working student I could not even afford one doctor, of course I never had Medicaid. Have you ever thought why doctors and hospitals and medical suppliers, drug and insurance companies, etc. could brazenly and boldly and continuously practice fraudulent and excessive and unfounded billings for so many years and become filthy rich if they were not protected by the governing authorities? 

Firstly, I am not sure every American understands the real problems of America’s health-care system; if so, some would not have said: “Do not change my Medicare! Or, America has the best health-care system in the world!” I am not even sure every American knows how doctors and hospitals get paid for doing more but unnecessary tests, treatments, drugs, supplies, operations and procedures to maximize profits. Not only fee-for-service reimbursement is the fundamentally and financially wrong feature of the American health-care system, first and foremost the deadliest part is to let health-care providers (doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, etc.) to set the fees as high and as much as they want without restrain or restriction or free competition in the market. It is like giving them a blank check. Do you wonder why America has the most costly and ineffective health-care system in the world? There exists no such blood-sucking and lucrative business in the world like the American health-care system.  

Secondly, another deadly and wrong aspect of the American health-care system is doctors and hospital owners, etc. have absolute right to  make all decisions for test, procedure, operation, treatment, supplies, drugs, etc. for the patient without approval or consent of the patient. The patient is given no option and completely has no choice.  

Thirdly, all the fees are not disclosed in advance and the patient is not required to approve them. Unlike all business transactions, the buyer knows the price beforehand and makes intelligent choices. The hospital and doctors send the bills only after the patient is discharged or dead.  

Fourthly, the medical and hospital billing system is deliberately fraudulent and excessive without measure because of immunity and impunity.  They maximize revenues by breaking up the same item into many components in order to generate revenue. For example, if a mother comes to hospital for delivery it is not charged as one lump sum item. The fees will include doctors, anesthesiologist, surgical nurses, delivery room, recovery room, hospital stay, nursery, equipment, syringes, oxygen, suture, medication, dressing, hospital gowns, and many other items. If an X-ray is needed, not only the X-ray is charged, this gives the radiologist a special right to charge a hefty fee for so-called “professional opinion” as if the attending physician is a defective physician who cannot read an X-ray. The patient medical records do not belong to the patient although paid by the patient, owned and controlled by hospital and doctors for their own benefits and protection to avoid audit.  

Fifthly, the medical and hospital system is run like an organized crime or syndicate.   When a patient is admitted, the patient signs his/her life and assets away. The flawed legal system protects corrupt and fraudulent doctors, dentists, hospital owners, labs, drug and insurance companies. The American legal system does not protect American patients. The medical and hospital establishment contributes tons of money to politicians so-called representatives of the people. It gives doctors and hospital the right to gouge and fleece the patient the way they see fit. The reason why Medicare and Medicaid or private insurance are so costly is caused simply by the way the hospital is run. I knew a black young woman who had an abortion all paid by Medicaid, the hospital lined up three doctors to take care of her. As a working poor student I could not afford even one doctor when I was ill. Medicaid patients received better services paid by taxpayers than a patient who pays his way. A doctor got pay for coming just to say hello or waved his hand. If a doctor changed the dressing, the hospital also got pay. Three doctors may change the same dressings three times a day on their rounds of visit so that both doctors and hospital get pay. This is just an evil of countless examples of medical malpractice and hospital predatory practices.  

Sixthly, there are four types of patients who are subject to the current health-care system, namely Medicare, Medicaid, HMO, and private insurance. Medicare is for the retired persons who pay premiums (Part B) as required. Doctors and hospitals treat Medicare patients by maximizing services for fees as much as allowed and even fraudulently for services not provided. Medicaid patients pay nothing as paid by taxpayers. Doctors and hospitals maximize services for Medicaid patients for fees as much as allowed and even fraudulently. HMO patients are those who work for companies that provide group insurance with premiums deducted weekly from their paychecks. HMO patients can only go to HMO designated hospital or clinic or doctor with restricted services. Doctors and hospitals do as little as possible for HMO patients because doctors and hospitals get monthly pay even if they do nothing for patients. One HMO dentist told me to take aspirin for my toothache and did nothing. HMO doctors often tell patients they cannot do for them because the group insurance does not cover the service or would not pay for. Privately-insured patients are the most desirable sheep for doctors and hospitals to slaughter and maximize services needed or not because the insurance will pay all the fees after deductible. Some private insurance policy will pay up to 90% and the patient pays only 10% of the total fees submitted by doctors and hospital. Due to very complicated and technical billing system with pages and pages of computer printouts and hundreds of items, even a patient with a Ph.D. may not be able to read the bills intelligently, much less to be sure whether he/she is cheated by doctors and hospital or not. Unless such fraudulent and predatory healthcare system is overhauled and changed completely, whatever gimmick or reform or plan is useless in controlling costs. The health-care providers will continuously increase the costs exponentially and unconscionably because they have done it that way for decades with impunity. This explains why in 1965 — the year Congress created Medicare and Medicaid — health care spending was 2.6 percent of the budget. In 2010, it was 26.5 percent. The Obama administration estimates it will be 30.3 percent in 2016 . By contrast, defense spending is about 20 percent; scientific research and development is 4 percent. This also explains why many nations like Singapore and others have cheaper and better healthcare systems than the American. The current American health-care system sucks the blood of American people at more than $8 trillion a year and has bankrupted millions of American families. I am not optimistic the situation will change because America is held hostage by special interests and politicians and bureaucrats serve the special interests. Those who greatly benefit financially from the current system want to maintain the status quo. There is no truth or justice in politics and government. There are still millions who are gullible to believe this is a great democracy where the system facilitates concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the few. If America does not end the high costs of health-care now, it will inevitably end America someday.   

3.  A blank check is given unconditionally to corrupt and greedy health-care providers of the worst kind.  

How could you control health care cost when a blank check is given unconditionally to those corrupt, greedy and wicked doctors, hospital owners, insurance and drug companies, and medical suppliers to do as they please and charge as much as they want and mostly fraudulently and falsely? The truth is, even though America has the highest health care cost, the quality of health care is poor. These heath care terrorists can ruin and bankrupt a middle class family with just one major illness, and these poor Americans have no recourse and no appeal for justice. In almost every business transaction in the world, you are informed of the cost in advance. But the very ill and dying patients not only they do not have a right and are not in a position to bargain, they are not even informed of the cost in advance. The doctors can prescribe any test, procedure or treatment, drug and devise that benefit themselves financially. Patients are helpless captive customers. The terrorists of health care can charge any thing they like or want, even fraudulently and exorbitantly. When you sign for hospital admission or emergency, you sign your life and future away. The rich can take care of themselves; the poor are taken care by taxpayers’ money. Those who bear most the burden of taxation are the biggest victims of the wild beasts of health care. 

DENISE GRADY      reported (Feb 18. 2011),“Too many women with abnormal     mammograms      or other breast problems are undergoing surgical biopsies when they should be having needle biopsies, which are safer, less invasive and cheaper, new research shows. A     study in Florida      found that 30 percent of the breast biopsies there from 2003 to 2008 were surgical. The rate should be 10 percent or less, according to medical guidelines. The figures in the rest of the country are likely to be similar to? Florida’s, researchers say, which would translate to more than 300,000 women a year having unnecessary surgery, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. Many of these women do not even have   cancer : about 80 percent of breast biopsies are benign. For women who do have cancer, a surgical     biopsy   means two operations instead of one, and may make the cancer surgery more difficult than it would have been if a needle biopsy had been done… About 1.6 million breast biopsies a year are performed in the United States. But in 2010, only about 261,000 found cancer (207,000 women had invasive   breast cancer  , and another 54,000 had a condition called ductal carcinoma in situ, in which cancer cells have not invaded the surrounding tissue). Hospitals charge $5,000 to $6,000 for a needle biopsy, and double that for an open biopsy, according to Dr. Grobmyer’s article. Doctors’ fees for an open biopsy range from $1,500 to $2,500, he said, and $750 to $1,500 for a needle biopsy. A surgeon who was not part of Dr. Grobmyer’s study said she often encountered patients referred from other hospitals whose open biopsies should have been done with a needle. “I see it all the time,” said the surgeon, Dr.     Elisa R. Port     , the chief of breast surgery at     Mount Sinai Medical Center      in Manhattan. “People are causing harm and should be held accountable.” 

There have been so much lies, deceits and deceptions continuously to confuse the public deliberately by special interests about Medicare reform and healthcare in general. Status quo means the healthcare providers (doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, etc.) will continuously defraud and overcharge the public and become increasingly and exponentially filthy rich with impunity. The truth is: budget or federal spending is in fact a process of rationing. Americans have been fooled by democracy; those who have power get the most of money and benefits. There are too many Americans who are entitled to too many things they do not pay for and do not deserve. America is broke; you are not in a position to take any chances. After so much fuss, talk, and exercise of futility, American healthcare, Medicare and Medicaid cannot be reformed until the healthcare providers are stopped and prevented from continuously sucking the economic blood of the nation. The only effective way is to cut the revenue of healthcare providers by 40%  immediately if America is to survive. Sadly and tragically, there seems to be no one in power wants to do the right thing. America is twisting and twisting in the wind, the tornado of debts and deficits may sweep the nation into oblivion soon. 

Alina Selyukh,   WASHINGTON (Reuters), August 23, 2011 reported, “The price of Seattle Genetics Inc’s blood cancer drug Adcetris could top $100,000 for a course of treatment, becoming the latest cancer medicine to come at a high cost. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday gave its nod to Adcetris, the first drug specifically indicated for anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and the first one approved for Hodgkin’s lymphoma since 1977. Seattle Genetics on Monday said the drug will cost $4,500 per vial. In its clinical trials, the company said, patients on average received three vials per dose and between seven and nine doses per treatment. The total price would then generally vary from $94,500 to $121,500 per patient, within Wall Street’s expected range.” There is no healthcare or medical treatment terrorist in the world like that of the United States. What a depraved mind and greedy heart to charge so much is within Wall Street’s expected range? The strangest thing is the fact that such blood-sucking practices are legal and continue to thrive and multiply with impunity. Catastrophic illness is the great opportunity for unconscionable healthcare providers to brutally slaughter and bankrupt helpless and desperate patients. 

Drew Altman and Larry Levitt    (November 19， 2011) reported, “In fact,     a recent report from the U.S. Census Bureau      has     introduced a tool      that could help do just that. This different way of calculating who is poor takes into consideration a broader range of living expenses and the help that people get from government programs. It found that 2.5 million more people are living in poverty than were classified as poor under the previous (and still official) method, bringing the not-so-grand total to 49 million Americans. The single biggest factor driving the increase? Out-of-pocket health-care costs… One of the biggest jumps in poverty under the new method is among people with private health insurance. We tend to think of such people, most of whom get coverage through their jobs, as being better equipped to handle the cost of getting sick. But even those who are insured are increasingly vulnerable to high health-care costs, in no small part because, as costs keep rising, employers have shifted more of the burden onto workers. The share of employees with an insurance deductible of $1,000 or more for single coverage has tripled in the past five years. The trend is especially strong among small businesses, where half of workers face a deductible of at least $1,000 in 2011. For those on the edge of poverty, a big medical bill could send you over it — even if you have insurance. The effect of health-care costs is particularly acute for the elderly, with the proportion of seniors living in poverty increasing from 9 percent under the official census measure to 16 percent under the alternative measure. Under the new method, an astounding 49 percent of seniors are living at or below twice the poverty level, a threshold at which people are still considered low-income (up from 35 percent under the official method).” 

The reason health-care costs make so many American people poor because the greedy and predatory doctors and hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, labs and medical suppliers defraud patients so much and they become filthy rich by sucking the lifeblood of American people.  The misfortunes of Americans are the great fortunes of corrupt and fraudulent doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, labs and medical supplies.

American fraudulent and greedy medical practices are also infecting China. According to a TV news report, some hospitals in Xian and other cities practice fake test results and fake medical reports to justify performing unnecessary or fake surgeries in order to make money. The government should execute all doctors who practice fraudulent and harmful medicine and hospital owners who use fake diagnosis to order unnecessary surgeries should also be executed and all their assets seized to compensate victimized patients and the hospitals shut down and put out of business. 

Most people do not know why most of American doctors are men. 

(A). Men became doctors for pure reason of money. Being a doctor is among the most lucrative job and highest paid in the world. The doctors charge whatever they want without first disclosing the cost to their patients.   Healthcare is a monopoly and a predatory business in the United States.    In all business consumers know what they pay for and make a choice. The propaganda of healing the sick and saving lives is phony. Few doctors do for that noble purpose. That is why doctors and hospital owners (many of them are also doctors who violate antitrust laws) suck the American blood of more than $8 trillion dollars a year. 

Mar 5:25-26, “A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse.” The Greek word for endure here is paschō which means to suffer badly and sadly, to be in a bad plight, undergo evil experience, to be inflicted; – it occurs 42 times in the New Testament. There are so many incompetent doctors even in America. A specialist diagnosed I had asthma. One night I suffered an asthma attack with bronchial spasm and almost died. Because my HMO physician was on vacation and there was no HMO 24-hour emergency service. The next morning I waited in a clinic for 6 hours to see a female HMO patient who said I did not have asthma and did not want to prescribe the medicine that usually worked for me. One Chinese surgeon in a Chinese hospital performed a simple appendectomy; the patient still suffers pain on the appendectomy site internally even more than a year. An American surgeon and a physician who made money in China performed a biopsy and did not know what was wrong; they charged a lot and did not do any good. How many helpless patients are victims of doctors and hospitals who inflicted much pain on them and robbed their money? Just like policemen do not testify against their fellow policemen for corruption or abuse of power, so doctors rarely testify against other physicians for malpractice and incompetence. AMA and AHA are self-serving special interests rich and powerful to buy off lawmakers. Where is an enlightened and just government to make sure doctors and hospitals perform according to standards and cannot charge anything if they do not provide satisfactory service and be punished for committing malpractice?  Anyway, bad and immoral doctors and hospital owners would not escape God’s judgment. 

(B). Many male doctors take pleasure in playing the breast and vagina of patients and enjoying seeing their nude bodies. There are female doctors in China also take pleasure in inflicting pain on the sexual organs of their patients under the pretext of pelvic exam. 

(C). Medical schools of powerful and prestigious universities work like dynasties and organized syndicate to make sure to maintain status quo of doctors and hospitals in wielding monopolistic power and owning great wealth of nation. 

4.  The only solution is to stop this  monopolistic, exploitative, oppressive, abusive, predatory and fraudulent and evil business of health-care with the force of law. 

Any doctor, hospital owner, drug and insurance, or medical suppler that defrauds $1 million dollars or more accumulatively will be executed and all assets seized.  Lesser abuse, misuse, and malpractice would be disbarred for life with big fine and long prison term. Why? Hospitals, doctors, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers and labs by nature are monopolistic businesses.

One of the reasons for many years that health care fraud not only has not reduced but flourished is the fact that the government relies on internal investigation. Can anyone with conscience trust doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, and medical suppliers, etc. to investigate themselves? It has been a well-known fact for a hundred years or more that even in malpractice cases rarely achieve true result because doctors have been reluctant to testify against their own, just as dirty cops protect their own. There is nothing that prevents internal investigators from airbrushing the facts or, say, omitting evidence that might implicate the top executives? Self-investigation is an American exceptional joke. 

Doctors and hospitals have many dirty tricks to make big money, one of them is readmissions. According to a recent Health Affairs article, readmissions have been considered a huge and costly problem. “Nearly one in five Medicare patients returns to a hospital within a month of discharge; three-quarters of these readmissions – costing an estimated $12 billion a year.” 

Brian Vastag    (04/04/2012) reported, “Among the tangled factors sending U.S. health-care costs soaring, unnecessary tests and procedures rank high on the list. A 2005 National Academy of Sciences     report      found that 30 percent of U.S. health-care spending was unnecessary or wasteful;     more recent studies      arrive at similar figures. That amounts to a staggering $600 billion to $700 billion spent annually on tests, drugs and procedures that most likely do no good — and can do harm.” 

In my opinion, fraudulent and excessive charges rank number one as the root cause for the most costly and ineffective healthcare system in the world. Patients are never to blame because doctors and hospitals make all costly decisions for them. Patients are the captured victims. Doctors and hospitals and insurance companies are the predators. Doctors and hospitals prescribe unnecessary tests, medicines and procedures, supplies and treatment and carry them out without question for helpless patients. The costs of healthcare are never disclosed by doctors and hospitals in advance to patients so that patients may make a rational decision. 

5.   There is little hope that the American health-care system will change. 

The American health-care system will not change because the government has been hijacked and run by and for special interests for many years. America needs a Jeffersonian revolution and there is no leader in the horizon. Terrorists will kill you even you do not know them. The health care beast kills you with a bill and a smile dressed in white like an angel. Yes, an angel of death! This angel of death does not carry a sword; it gives you a bill of death. The beast of health care will grow more and more cruel and fierce and greedy and savage in America until it is stopped. Who will stop the beast? This is one of the greatest evils of America. “Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.” ( Hab 1:4) 

A white supremacist wrote, “In 2007, the median net worth (that is, assets minus debts) of 65-plus households was $237,000, about twice the amount for households aged 45 to 54. Among 65-plus married couples, median net worth was $385,000.” This is an example how dishonest people can use statistics to lie. The truth is most of American retirees have Social Security and only income less than $1,200 a month? Ask yourself where and how can you live in America today with a fixed income of less than $1,200 a month? They do not have net worth cited or projected; they live from day to day, choosing between meals and medicine! What the government should cut and chop are doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, etc. that defraud, gouge and overcharge the American people who create the most costly and ineffective healthcare system in the world. 

From American president down to senators, congressmen, justices, federal employees, etc. as well as state governors and employees, etc. all have very good and generous health-care insurance coverage mostly paid by taxpayers. Not one of them will go bankrupt because of the high costs of healthcare. The current blood-sucking healthcare system for most Americans does not affect the elites and the insiders in government and business, they have no stake whether the reform of healthcare succeeds or fails. I do not know any government official who has power to do something and is sincere and bent on stopping the fraudulent and predatory practices committed by doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, and medical suppliers, etc. Under the sad and screwball situation, the hope of change in the worst and most costly healthcare system in the world is practically nil, and slim at best. 

6.  The comptroller general of the United States stated. 

GENE L. DODARO    reported, “In fiscal year 2010 alone, Medicare had estimated improper payments of almost $48 billion; this estimate did not include improper payments in its prescription drug benefit program, for which the agency has not yet determined a total amount. And because Medicare remains on a path that is fiscally unsustainable over the long term, there is heightened pressure to improve its payment methods, as well as its management and oversight of program operations and patient care. As for Medicaid, it has taken steps to improve transparency and reduce improper payments in recent years, but more can be done. Improper payments to providers that submit inappropriate claims can result in substantial financial losses to states and the federal government. The Department of Health and Human Services has estimated a national improper payment rate for Medicaid of 9.4 percent (with the federal share     estimated at $22.5 billion ) for fiscal year 2010. Certain services may be more susceptible than others to improper payments. For example, in 2009 the G.A.O. found that Medicaid beneficiaries and providers   were involved in potentially wasteful or abusive purchases  of controlled substances in five selected states. Specifically, we found that Medicaid paid over $2 million in controlled substance prescriptions during fiscal years 2006 and 2007 that were written or filled by 65 medical practitioners and pharmacies barred, excluded or both from federal health care programs, including Medicaid.” This does not include frauds committed in private insurance and HMO, etc. Strangest thing is you never hear about prosecutions of those crooked and corrupt doctors and hospital owners and medical suppliers who defrauded hundreds of billions or even trillions for decades. May I remind you all fraudulent charges are obsolete, I have no way to revise the true numbers to see how many times corrupt doctors and hospital owners defraud the patients and government today.

The American health-care system is a monopolistic, corrupt and crooked, fraudulent and predatory system that works like an organized crime.   When you sign an admission form statement, as a privately insured patient or un-insured patient you sign your life and assets away. Most privately insured patients do not realize frauds bring higher premiums and overall costs of healthcare. As a Medicare or Medicaid patient you sign a blank check for healthcare providers to defraud the federal and state governments with impunity. The doctors and hospitals will prescribe as many as unnecessary lab tests and procedures as possible without your approval and without giving you information of the cost of each test, procedure, item, treatment or service. You are totally dark and helpless and doctors and hospital are at will to do whatever they want to maximize everything, whether you need or not, in order to maximize their earnings and profits. You are like a lamb to be slaughtered by healthcare providers legally. They have a very evil cost accounting system. For example, the doctor orders you to have a chest X-ray, the attending physician is so incompetent that he is supposed not to be able to read anything. It falls on the right and privilege of the radiologist to write a simple statement in order to justify his hefty fees. Imagine thousands of different types of X-rays are done each day, the organized syndicate is guaranteed to make hundreds of thousands of dollars for just one item of test in one day. This is not counting lab tests, the attending physician is also so dumb that his training is not equipped him to read the lab results (even though a nursing student can read), so that the so-called lab specialist will write his simple lab expert opinion in order to justify his hefty fees. The attending physician is also so incompetent that he has to line up several other physicians to take care of you. Although these extra physicians are entitled to get pay for practically doing nothing, most of the time they just drop in to say hello or wave to you as they pass by. If you have a dressing, they might respectively open and change the dressing. Changing the dressing several times a day by different physicians are justified for the hospital to charge you hefty fees several times for the same thing. As to a procedure, the consideration is not what does it to the benefit of the patient. The doctor does not require your advanced approval or provide cost information in advance. There are simple procedures which are charged several hundreds of dollars each, and there are complicated procedures which are charged several hundred thousands of dollars each. The evil accounting system practices breaking up of many items for just one procedure. For example, how much for a team of surgeons, anesthesiologist, surgery room, surgical instruments and equipment, syringes, medications, gauges and sponges, and many other items. The numbers of broken up charges are so long and technical and abbreviated even a Ph.D. cannot read them intelligibly. The hospital accounting department are staffed with most creative and conscienceless and shameless people, they would even charge you for your own underwear and for dressings and others even you did not have a surgery. If you dispute the cost, they would threaten to creatively find many more items to charge you. The poor patient does not know what will hit him; he will only know the total medical and hospital bills by mail only after discharge or death. Surgical procedures are not necessarily done for the benefits of the patients; they are done because they earn doctors and hospitals extremely large sums of money. The most expensive drugs may not be effective or what the patients need, but they earn huge profits for hospitals and kickbacks for doctors. This lies the root cause of greed and immorality and fraud which create the highest cost of healthcare in the world that bankrupts millions of American families and bankrupts the America’s economy. This explains the blood-sucking of American people by monopolistic and predatory healthcare providers at more than $6 trillion a year. This gives you a glimpse how healthcare terrorists butcher the American people brutally and mercilessly for decades and hospitals are actually slaughterhouses. 

The top Senate Republican said (May 12, 2011) tighter eligibility requirements to the Medicare and Medicaid program and reduced benefits must be a part of any deal. The issues have been studied to death. But one key factor is strangely missing, the health-care providers (doctors, hospital owners, medical suppliers, etc.) have been given a blank check for decades so much so that they have fraudulently and excessively charged the patients and bankrupted millions of families with impunity. Why no one discusses the most costly and inefficient health-care system in the world that works like an organized crime and the patient is not consulted and does not have the right to approve any test, treatment, procedure, medicine, etc.? Doctors and hospitals maximize revenue by doing the unnecessary and the most costly that patients do not need, and send them a bill that they cannot refuse only after discharge or death. Retirees who have an annual income of $500,000 or more should not be eligible for Medicare benefits because they can afford private insurance. Many receive luxurious and unnecessary benefits because they cost them nothing. A single woman having abortion should not be paid by Medicaid. Tighter eligibility requirements and reduced benefits are necessary. Above all, stop doctors and hospitals and insurance and others to rob and bankrupt the patients and suck the blood of the American people at $8 trillion a year. 

7.  There are so much demagogueries and deceits about the American health-care. 

So much demagogueries and deceits are spewed out by both parties to confuse the American people. 

A. Large permanent tax increases are necessary for highly profitable firms and wealthy individuals that do not pay income tax or profits only enrich the executives with exorbitant compensations, perks and bonuses and pensions. The tax system needs to be totally overhauled to eliminate subsidies and exemptions and corporate tax loopholes. 

B. Control of Medicare and Medicaid costs are not necessarily to produce economic growth, just as an individual who cuts down unnecessary spending does not make economic growth. Economic growth can only be achieved in a sound economic system with fiscal responsibility free of exploitation and manipulation and monopoly, and ingredients conducive for business and industry to expand that benefits the greatest number of people. To put America on a path to prosperity is not one thing, but above all America needs a system of government and politics free of corruption, free of lobbyists and special interests, and a new breed of officials (elected and appointed) who have character and integrity and ability. 

C. Less help for the wealthy is not more for the poor and the sick because Medicare and Medicaid have paid too much already for them due to the fact doctors and hospitals defraud and overcharge too much. 

D. To eliminate unnecessary and luxurious and overcharged medical tests, treatments, procedures, medications, supplies and equipment, etc. are not bureaucratically rationed health care, they are sound and responsible management of limited resources. 

E. Political labeling such as social medicine, rationed health care, shared-scarcity mentality, social engineering, etc. are useful only to advance the special interests who hold America hostage and create the huge national debt and deficits in the first place. It is hoped American people will not follow demagogues. 

F. To bring down health-care costs, doctors and hospitals must be deprived the sole and unlimited right to make all the decisions without the patient’s approval. All medical and hospital costs must be made known in advance so that the privately-insured patient or uninsured patient may make intelligent decision; as to Medicare and Medicaid patients there are loopholes that doctors and hospitals use to fleece and defraud the public. Billing must be itemized but not broken down in many parts. For example, delivery is a flat amount of $600 (including fees for doctor, anesthesiologist, room, surgical instruments, medications, etc.). All Medicaid and Medicare patients are entitled to only one attending physician who gets pay, there cannot be a line up of several physicians just to get pay for doing hello or meaningless visit. Any lab test or X-ray must come with expert or professional opinion; no radiologist may bill the patient extra. America is not a free society; it is held hostage by right and left special interests. America has not been in a very good way to operate. Right radical changes are necessary to overhaul the most costly and predatory health care system in the world, to save America from the largest debts and deficits in history, not only to put our budget on a path to balance and to put our economy on a path to prosperity. Prosperity is not possible when a nation is on the verge of default and destruction. 

Matt Miller  (May 25，2011）wrote, “As can never be said often enough, the United States spends   17 percent of GDP on health care while every other advanced nation spends 10 or 11 percent. Who knows probably the United States spends today 25 percent of GDP on health care because no one is making the data available. You know why? Darkness is afraid of the Light. Those other nations insure everyone, while we still have 50 million neighbors (much more today) who lack basic coverage. At the same time, the United States doesn’t have better health outcomes to show for all this extra spending, and it experiences huge regional variations in the utilization of procedures and treatments. Observers of all stripes agree that these facts mean our system is radically inefficient. (And given that mighty Singapore spends just 4 percent of GDP  with as good or better outcomes than ours, the “radically” is justified).” One thing is always missing probably by design, that is the reason the United States has the most costly and ineffective healthcare system in the world is due to the fact that healthcare providers (doctors, hospitals, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, etc.) are given absolute power to charge whatever they please excessively and also fraudulently. No other nations would allow what happens in America happen in their countries. Take Singapore. It is time America establish fee schedules for all healthcare providers by law and to be enforced by law and do away with monopolistic and predatory practices. To give voucher to each senior to help buy private insurance is not a solution, for health care is a monopolistic industry and it will only make insurance companies even more filthy rich. Republicans and Democrats have wrong ideas because they do not like the truth and they serve special interests and they do not do what is right for the greatest number of American people. 

The Editorial of Washington Post said (August 9, 2011), “There’s a reason the president’s words did not allay market fears: For all of its faults, S&P was right about its assessment of the problems that underlie the U.S. economy. Government expenditures are too high; revenue remains untenably low; and the rancorous political environment that brought the country to the brink of default last week casts doubt on the willingness of its leaders to correct the imbalance… More cuts — S&P puts the total savings figure at $4  trillion — must be found, lest the country risk a further downgrade.” 

One thing that continuously puzzles me is the fact no one in power or authority seems to be interested in cutting the predatory and fraudulent practices of doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, labs, etc. that created the most costly and ineffective health-care system in the world. 

I see clearly there is a paralleled faulty thinking and doing in spending for national security and in healthcare costs. Those demand more and more money, more and more deadly weapons, more and more alliances and military bases on the ground of national security as if they would really protect Americans. Doctors and hospitals use the same warped reasoning to prescribe the most costly and unnecessary tests and procedures and drugs and treatment in the name of saving lives actually making themselves filthy rich. Rob Stein (August 16, 2011) wrote about CT scans for lung cancer, “Peter B. Bach, a lung cancer specialist and epidemiologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, called testing people other than those who fit the criteria in the study — especially outside centers that have highly skilled interdisciplinary teams to follow-up on the results — “unconscionable.” 

The false-positive rate could easily be significantly higher among a broader population, and the risks could be greater because those in the study were relatively healthy despite their smoking history. The scans can also detect other potential problems — and false alarms — near the lungs, including aneurysms, masses in the abdomen and even heart problems. “The scans open a Pandora’s box,” Bach said. Some question whether some hospitals and practices were offering the tests to generate revenue.  “One of the reasons health-care costs are spiraling out of control is because there is a kind of medical gluttony on the part of physicians and patients,” said Brawley, of the American Cancer Society. “Sometimes it’s out of fear on the part of the patient, and sometimes it’s for other unfortunate reasons on the part of health-care providers: profit.” There is no alternative but to stop the blood-sucking and fraudulent practices of healthcare providers. 

Ron Paul, a doctor, has been reported to say health insurance shouldn’t be the government’s responsibility. “That’s what freedom is all about, taking your own risks.” The statement sounds plausible and reasonable on the surface, it is less than honest and far from the truth like Hell is far from Heaven. Whose responsibilities are Medicare and Medicaid? The two programs alone have been defrauded by doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies and medical suppliers billions and billions of dollars for many decades. Paul, you do not talk like the Apostle Paul I know. You argued that the reason medical costs have skyrocketed is that individuals have stopped taking personal responsibility for their health care. What freedom are you talking about？ Doctors and hospital owners， drug and insurance companies and medical suppliers have freedom to charge whatever they please on top of fraudulent billings with impunity  for many decades. Imagine, one course of cancer treatment costs $100,000! (Maybe more today!)  The patient has no freedom, the patient has only to pay or die! Do you call that freedom? Doctors and hospitals make all the decisions for patients in all tests, procedures and treatment without their consent. Do you call that responsibility? It is the government responsibility to overhaul the healthcare system to stop the blood-sucking machine of doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies and medical suppliers for good. You said churches used to take care of medical costs of poor patients. Do you know the Bible? The main responsibility of the church of Jesus Christ is to preach the Gospel to every creature, not to pay high medical costs to make doctors and hospital owners filthy rich.

The only reason the American healthcare costs become the most expensive and ineffective and fraudulent in the world is because the people in power, the president, lawmakers and officials let it be. 

I often wonder why the government let doctors and hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, labs, etc. defraud and overcharge patients with impunity. 

8.  Why the American healthcare costs are the highest in the world. 

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) conducted a study to determine   WHY IS HEALTH SPENDING IN THE UNITED STATES SO HIGH? 

It provided some useful facts: 

A.   Health spending in the United States is much higher than in other OECD countries. 

The United States spends two-and-a-half times more than the OECD average health expenditure per person. It even spends twice as much as France, for example, a country which is generally accepted as having very good health services. At 17.4% of GDP in 2009, US health spending is half as much again as any other country, and nearly twice the average. Health expenditure per capita in 2009 for the U.S. is $7,960, the highest in the world; $5,352 for Norway, $3,487 for Britain, $3,978 for France and the OECD average is $3,233. Total health expenditure as a share of GDP, 2009, US is 17.4% of $14.25 trillion (2009 est.) The U.S. health costs are already the budget’s largest single expense (27 percent in 2010, compared with 20 percent for defense). I believe the health costs of 27 percent of the U.S. budget in 2010 cover Medicare and Medicaid, not including private healthcare costs. 

B.   The United States is an exception. 

“$10,345 per person: U.S. health care spending reaches new peak

Health  Jul 13, 2016 6:20 PM EDT”

Americans spend nearly $3,000 per person per year more than Swiss people, even though Swiss people have about the same level of income. 

C.   The high level of spending in the United States is due to: 

The cost (or price) of health care being higher in the United States than elsewhere; the United States providing more health care – more doctors’ appointments, more surgeries, more drugs, more diagnostic tests, longer stays in hospital – than in other countries; some combination of the two. 

D.   Health expenditure can be broken down into different categories of spending by type of care, that is, inpatient care, out-patient care, pharmaceuticals, public health and administration, etc. 

A 2010 OECD study (Koechlin et al., 2010) found the US price level of hospital services to be over 60% higher  than the average of 12 other OECD countries in 2007

Procedures   OECD Country Lowest     USA 

   Unit Price 

Appendectomy	$2,943	$7,962
Normal Delivery	1,521	4,451
Caesarean section	3,732	7,449
Percutaneaous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)	3,347	14,378
Coronary artery bypass graft	14,067	34,358
Hip replacement	8,889	17,406
Knee replacement	9,910	14,946

This is where OECD made big mistakes. OECD seemed to be ignorant about the U.S. Emergency Room Service – that is where patients are slaughtered greatly financially and mercilessly. Secondly, OECD does not seem to know the American doctors and hospitals practice fraudulent billing by counting the same item in multiple billings. For example, for a procedure billing is broken up in many pieces, such as the doctor fee for the procedure, medications, equipment, syringes and needles, gauzes, sponges, ABD combine pads,   sterile gauze sponge dressings,    and other supplies. Normal Delivery for $4,451 may be referred only to the doctor’s fees, not including the anesthesiologist, Delivery Room, Recovery Room, Nursery, instruments, Oxygen, dressings, etc. Another example, if the patient is to have an X-ray, not only the patient is charged for the X-ray, it automatically adds on the opinion of the Radiologist that the patient did not hire and never see and the fee is higher than the X-ray itself. Thirdly, doctors and hospital owners routinely and regularly defraud patients by charging service, tests, and supplies never provided or unnecessary. For example, you can be charged even for your own underwear. Not to say any item of supply used in hospital is many times higher than the market price. If you dispute with the Hospital Billing Department, they shamelessly and boldly threaten to find (in fact manufacture) more items charged to you. They have practiced maximum fraudulent charging and billing for decades. Fourthly, the doctors and hospital never provide costs information of everything or anything in advance. You only receive the long bill by mail after you are discharged or dead. Fifthly, the American healthcare system works like an organized crime. The moment you sign the form of admission, you are relinquishing your assets and life-savings to doctors and hospital. They are empowered to do anything to you without your approval and without informing you anything. The attending physician immediately lines up 2 or 3 doctors into your care so that they can be paid to share the loot. The other doctors will come to see you may be to say hello or how are you and do nothing just to get pay for their visits. If you have a dressing, one doctor may open and take a look or change the dressing. Each doctor will repeat doing the same thing. American doctors and hospitals will do many thing for you not necessarily you need them or benefit you but so that they may make maximum profits and squeeze out every drop of blood from you. For example Caesarean section is performed more frequently than normal delivery because doctors and hospitals make more money on Caesarean section than normal delivery. I do not know whether OECD knows about the predatory and fraudulent practices of doctors and hospitals in America or not. I know all the healthcare reform talks and acts, no one in power would mention or stop doctors and hospitals and drug and insurance companies from gauging and fleecing the poor patients. This is the underlying reason why healthcare costs in America are the highest in the world, and continuously rising exponentially because no one is stopping the blood sucking machine of American healthcare industry. Since the doctors and hospital owners, drug and insurance companies are free to defraud and gouge and fleece and overcharge the patients, you wonder why the American healthcare is the most costly in the world? 

Additional updated data provided by International Federation of Health Plans. A coronary artery bypass costs $68,000 in America but a little over $1,000 in Canada. An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) costs $1,080 in America but $280 in France. According to International Federation of Health Plans, the following comparisons of prices are beyond any doubt the U. S. healthcare is the highest and most expensive in the world. 

Procedure	India	U.S.A.
Coronary artery bypass	$1,000 +	$68,000
Appendectomy	$254	$13,000
Angiogram	$30	$800

Yahoo provided a program on the Internet  Have something to ask President Obama?  

Your question could be featured when George Stephanopoulos of ABC News interviews the president live on Yahoo! today.” 

I do not know whether my question was featured or not, and I do not know if President Obama gives an answer or not. Apparently it was never answered. I wrote the following On October 3, 2011: 

Mr. President: 

Some months ago I heard that you said doctors and hospitals defrauded more than $1 billion dollars, but I never heard anybody was prosecuted. In fact, doctors and hospitals have defrauded patients and government for decades and bankrupted millions of families; it is a predatory and fraudulent system. The American healthcare system works like an organized crime. All healthcare reform will not succeed or amount to anything unless the government stops the blood-sucking machine of healthcare system which allows doctors and hospitals to charge whatever they please; the patient is never informed of the costs in advance, never has a choice and only knows the bill by mail only after he is discharged or dead. There was one young man whose father went to a hospital emergency, treated several days and died. The son received a bill of more than a million dollars even his father died at the hospital. Now the poor young man has to work all his life as a slave maybe not be able to pay off the debt of his deceased father because the dead man was overcharged and fraudulently charged by doctors and hospital owner. Have you ever seen a lengthy and overlong medical bill with technical terms and abbreviations that even an educated person finds it unintelligible? The dirty trick practiced by doctors and hospitals is to break one item into multiple billings. For example, if you have an X-ray, not only you pay for the X-ray, you are forced to pay automatically for the opinion of the radiologist that you never met or hired. The bill of one X-ray should include everything, no extra charge for radiologist as if your doctor is so stupid that he cannot read an X-ray. Doctors and hospitals make all the decisions as to tests, procedures, drugs, treatment, labs, etc. to maximize their profits, not for the benefit of the patient. I wrote an article on my website called  Health Care Terrorism. I could not understand why the government has continuously allowed doctors and hospitals to gouge and fleece and overcharge and bankrupt patients for many decades without impunity. I know fully well why the American healthcare system is the most costly and ineffective in the world. What puzzles me most is with all the talks about healthcare costs control, no one in power is stopping predatory and greedy doctors and hospital owners and drug and insurance companies from defrauding and overcharging the patients! You see the power of capitalism and democracy in action or nonaction and inaction. It is the characteristic of dormancy, not democracy.

The American media is so wicked and devoid of truth that special interests habitually use mass media to spread disinformation and misinformation and lies to deceive the people. A media campaign and propaganda are launched to paint poor doctors; the so-called doctors in America are harboring an embarrassing secret: Many of them are going broke. Even those politicians and lawmakers who pretend to reform the most costly healthcare system in the world never mention the fact and the root cause it is a fraudulent and predatory system to gouge and fleece and defraud the American public and have created the sad casualties of bankrupting millions of American families with impunity for many decades and they are still doing it at acceleration and intensity. The American legal and healthcare systems are among the most blood-sucking and blatant in the world. Justice is murdered and truth is trampled by evildoers and healthcare terrorists… 

The evil and terror of American healthcare system is not what this short article can cover adequately.  

Luk 11:39 , “Then the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.” Suffice to say the inward part of the American healthcare system is “full of greed and wickedness” which will take volumes and volumes to describe and document.  In addition to Wall Street, the American healthcare system is full of greed and wickedness is clear. To those doctors and hospital owners, etc. who think they are Christians, Jesus Christ says,  

Luk 12:15 ,  “Then He said to them: Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” To the greedy of any kind, the Scripture warns,  

Col 3:5,  “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.” Only the primitive people in the world worship idols, but in America most people worship and love money. This is the deadly sin, greed is idolatry. What does the Bible say about idolaters or the greedy?  

1Cr 6:9-10 ,  “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the Kingdom of God.” Evidently, many doctors and hospital owners are thieves and swindlers and sinful idolaters, but strangely they consider themselves Christians. The Word of God warns them,  

Rev 21:8, “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Liars are not necessarily a verbal falsehood. When doctors and hospitals charge patients for services they never perform in a fraudulent bill, that is a written lie. When mainstream Western media falsely charge China of genocide, that is a written lie and falsehood. Liars will be in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone which is Hell, which is the second death forever.

Rev 22:15 , “Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.” 

There are no people like American, European and Japanese leaders and politicians, as well as doctors and hospital owners who love and practice lying. 

Health care in the United States costs much more than anywhere else simply because the prices are usually the highest in the world. For example, an appendectomy costs $13,000 in the U.S. but $254 in India.    The American healthcare is the most costly because it is a fraudulent, predatory, inefficient, monopolistic and bloodsucking system, and the government lets doctors and hospitals, drug and insurance companies, etc. charge whatever they want. The American most costly healthcare costs are a direct result of a greedy capitalism and phony democratic system. A greedy capitalism and a phony democracy do not protect the helpless citizens and have bankrupted millions of American families. Why doctors and hospitals and drug and insurance companies can continue to charge excessive and fraudulent prices in healthcare？Because  these wicked healthcare providers have held hostage of the public and the American government is bought by special interests and paralyzed to do what is right. Ezra Klein (March 3, 2012) wrote, “In 2009, Americans spent $7,960 per person on health care. Our neighbors in Canada spent $4,808. The Germans spent $4,218. The French, $3,978. If we had the per-person costs of any of those countries, America’s deficits would vanish. Workers would have much more money in their pockets. Our economy would grow more quickly, as our exports would be more competitive.” I warn the readers, every price of healthcare practice quoted in this article is outdated, and the current price is much more higher. I cannot get hold of how much a CORONAVIRUS patient is charged by doctors and hospitals in America in 2020 and 2021.

Patients do not have the right to make any decision, doctors and hospitals mandate what to do not for the benefit of the patient but to maximize profits for themselves.  Strangely Congress expressly barred Medicare from negotiating the prices of drugs that it was paying for. The 2010 health-reform law does not directly address the high prices set by doctors and hospitals, etc. This is the root cause of the evil and immoral and predatory practices. If you have pain or dying, you are not in a position to bargain with doctors and hospitals. Doctors and hospitals never provide price information to patients in advance. They send a bill to the patient only after he is discharged or dead by mail. Doctors and hospitals, drugs and insurance companies largely charge what they can get away with, often offering different prices to different insurers, and an even higher price to the uninsured to get their pound of flesh. Until the U.S. government establishes and sets price schedule for every procedure and service and supply provided by doctors, hospitals, drugs and medical suppliers; there is no hope the American health-care costs can be reasonable, affordable and comparable to other industrialized nations. Apparently it is hopeless to expect the government to do anything about it. The American economic system has failed to serve fairness. The American political system has also failed to serve the people. The American legal system does not serve justice for all. The only thing can be effective is for the greatest numbers of Americans to rise up and demand justice.

Note: There are thousands of other items including drugs, supplies, instruments and equipment which comparative prices are not available. Based on the data Posted by   Ezra Klein , they are sufficient to shock and enrage any decent human being how American healthcare providers defraud, extort, rob and bankrupt millions of American families for decades. If Jefferson were alive and knew of the immense injustice, I am sure he would call for a revolution to overthrow a government that allows a blood-sucking machine that oppresses, abuses and ruins the people for decades and decades and decades.     

Note:  Among the most greedy and fraudulent in the world are American doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance executives, lawyers, lawmakers, etc. and as the Word of God says, they (the greedy) will go to Hell for eternal punishment. 

9. American contagion of healthcare terrorism has also infected China. 

American contagion of healthcare terrorism has infected China. Something frightening and fearful has happened in China! The American fraudulent and predatory practices of doctors and hospitals have come to China. It was reported that one man was treated in a Harbin hospital emergency and intensive care and died; his medical bill was 5.5 million yuan. One recent case of a patient who had gall stone surgery which was told the cost would be a couple thousand yuan. Under the pretext of saving life, then doctors and the hospital made the patient very ill but prohibited the family to visit and told them the patient was getting better but never mentioned or demanded to advance payment or disclosed the amount. Later a simple gall stone surgery killed the patient and the bill was RMB 450,000 with a dead patient. I watched on TV how the responsible doctor shamelessly and unconscionably rationalized the costs and justified the high fees of RMB 450,000 as normal and not much. Apparently the doctor had seared his conscience and lost his sense of morality and honesty and respectability. Since healthcare is a monopoly, what evil doctors and hospitals can do is inestimable and immeasurable. It is hoped the Chinese government would take drastic action now to stop the deadly contagion of American capitalistic greed before it becomes unstoppable and devastates the Chinese society. The simple but effective remedy is to execute doctors who commit fraudulent and predatory practices (such as charging large sums for unnecessary or unperformed tests, procedures, treatments, drugs, etc., excessive and fake billing, fake medical record, lies about patient condition, malpractice, misinformation, misrepresentation, etc.) and execute hospital owners who participate in the organized crime and seize their assets to pay victims. Doctors and hospitals that commit outrageous and malicious illegal practices must be put to death and put out of business. There are already American and Western doctors and dentists who practice medicine in China’s big cities and charge the rich Chinese high fees (many times what Chinese public hospitals charge). This dual medical system cannot be tolerated in a just society. Do not allow doctors and dentists and hospitals become healthcare terrorists in China. Under the Chinese legal system, no one is allowed to prey on another person. Do not let the Chinese health-care system fall into the monopolistic, abusive and oppressive and most costly health-care like that of the United States which sucks the blood of American people and bankrupted millions of American families with impunity. 

China needs to regulate and control the charges and billing system of doctors and hospitals, medical suppliers and drug companies and deter any fraudulent and predatory practices with penalty that may impose death penalty for outrageous and wicked offenses. 

Usually fraud in medical care or healthcare involves doctors, dentists, radiologists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers and labs in false billing and excessive billing; now it was reported to involve nurses also. The more and more evidence convinces me that the American healthcare system is an organized crime. Medicare is a $590 billion program that serves nearly 50 million people, and  Medicaid spending for 2011 was about $280 billion, together they are a giant money tree for healthcare providers. Added private insurance and self-payment to the healthcare cost is more than  $8 trillion per year. Fraudulent billings include unnecessary ambulance rides, unnecessary admission and lengthy hospitalization, writing prescriptions for patients who did not qualify, ordering and charging for medical supplies (such as wheelchair and other costly items) that patients do not need, charging medical supplies several times higher than market value (for example $25 for an Aspirin), ordering lab tests and treatments that never perform, charging hospital room for 3-person rate higher than a luxurious hotel, charging for surgeries and procedures that never perform, unnecessarily putting several doctors under payroll for the care of one single patient (especially Medicaid or Medicare patients) even uninsured and insured patients to squeeze out the last drop of blood, charging for unnecessary radiologist or professional opinions, charging for unnecessary or not used medical equipment, charging one item or instrument by breaking up into several components such as syringes and needles, recruiting patients for sole purpose of paying kickbacks, improperly billing the government for home health services and mental health services, and a million other items big and small. Small fraudulent items such ABD, dressings, underwear, Aspirin, etc. add up to big money. If you ever audit a hospital or medical billing, you wonder how America can be a nation ruled by law. Fraud in Medicare, the U.S. health program for the elderly and disabled, and Medicaid for the so-called poor, is massive and monumental and pervasive. Fraud in defrauding and overcharging the uninsured is more than a pound of flesh. Fraud in defrauding the insured increasingly accelerates the healthcare premiums paid by company and employee. This blood-sucking machine of doctors, hospital owners and other healthcare providers is the underlying cause of the most costly and inefficient healthcare system in the world; and the wonder of wonders is the fact all forms of medical reforms refuse to deal with the organized crime of healthcare providers. The examples of fraud “drive up healthcare costs” are unlimited. Clinics and doctor offices are small time operators in comparison to a general hospital and emergency room. The emergency department is a black hole of organized syndicate. It is wrong to “send a clear message to those perpetrating or contemplating Medicare and Medicaid fraud: It’s time to start looking for another line of work.”   

For decades, there is no controlling authority to send a clear message to those perpetrating doctors and hospital owners, etc. the certainty of long years of imprisonment, losing license and seizure of all assets.   The American legal system is so flawed and the regulation so lax that it pays well to commit fraud and other scams in America that is why they are mushrooming. Waste, fraud and abuse committed by doctors, hospital owners and others are the most lucrative and profitable business in the world because they make all decisions for the patient without disclosing advanced cost information to the patient and without patient approval. It is difficult to investigate fraud, waste and abuse committed by doctors and hospital owners because hospital owns the patient’s medical records, doctors do not testify against their own profession, and compounded by identity theft and money laundering. 

Jesus Christ says to crooked doctors and corrupt hospital owners:

Mat 5:26, “I tell you the truth, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny!” Jesus the Judge of the living and dead counts fraud to the last penny. How about trillions of dollars doctors and hospital owners have defrauded over the years?

2Th 1:9,  “These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.”

REALIZING SOME OF THE DATA USED ARE OBSOLETE, BUT LET ME INFORM YOU THE SITUATION IS GETTING WORSE, SO YOU CAN USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO INCREASE IT INTENSITY.

The most discouraging fact is that it seems there is no president, lawmaker, politician, official who is interested in prosecuting and stopping the biggest healthcare fraud and predatory practice in the world!!!

Crooks and criminals, remember, the Judgement Day is at hand.  YOU MAY ESCAPE AMERICAN COURT. You cannot escape the judgment of God.

This article is written to let you know what God calls sin, mankind has many ways to excuse themselves and beautify it with words like mistake, neglect, overlook, fault, failure, weakness, shortcoming, imperfection, loss of memory, forgetfulness, unintentional offense, etc. The Word of God puts all under sin, and all have sinned against God. The wages of sin is death, so all will die. If you do not have sin, you will not die.

Sin is dark. Sin is dreary. Sin is dreadful. Sin is dangerous. Sin is delusional. Sin is dirty. Sin is detrimental. Sin is deceitful. Sin is damaging. Sin is destructive. Sin is defective. Sin is deadly.  Sin is fatal.

This article is written to let you know what sin is, the wages of sin is death; all have sinned and so all will die, and how to obtain forgiveness of sin and eternal life in Christ.

Sinners can fool themselves and rationalize that their sinful acts are actually not sins, as famous people when they are caught in their sins and they call them mistakes.  Just as some people call their lies white lies, not knowing that all lies are black lies. This article is written to let you know that God defines and determines what sin is. What God views as sin, calls it as sin, and it is sin final.  God is the only Judge what is right and what is wrong. What is wrong is always a sin.

Different religions have different concepts of sin. Different peoples have different definitions of sin. Religions and peoples do not matter, but the Word of God matters. God has the final say on everything. What God says is sin is sin. The Bible is the Word of God. The Word of God defines what is.

Rom 3:23, 

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Note: The Word of God declares all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  President, politician, prime minister, police, etc. may think they are special people of importance. But in the sight of God president, pimp, and prostitute are all sinners. We all have sinned, that is why we all will die. To sin in Greek is hamartano 

which means to trespass; to offend; to miss the mark; to violate God’s law; to fall short of the glory of God; to err; to do wrong; to be mistaken; to wander from the right path; to commit a sinful act; to commit an offense or fault; – which occurs 45 times in the New Testament. 

Rom 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Sin in Greek is hamartia which means an offense; missing the mark; committing a sinful act; wrong doing; wandering from the right path; transgression of God’s law; falling short of the glory of God; an evil deed; a violation of divine law in thought, word or deed; guilt; – which occurs 174 times in the New Testament. Many people thought you have to commit many sins in order to be justified to be sent to Hell. But God says, the wages of sin is death. Do you notice the word “sin” is singular. You only need to commit one sin and to be sent to Hell. Disobedience to God is a deadly sin.

This article is written so that you know what sin is as God sees it, and the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is salvation in Jesus Christ.

Sin brings sorrow and death. Hell is the place where sorrow and death are eternal. 

Gen 18:20 , “And the LORD said, “The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.   ” 

In the last 300 years to the present, only God knows how much, how great, how exceeding grave the sins and all the iniquities committed by Western imperialists, Japanese militarists and Islamic terrorists! 

Facts are important, and truth is the most important matter. To tell the truth is not  derogatory. To say American leaders since the end of World War II have been liars and killers and robbers is not derogatory because it is a proven fact. For American and Japanese leaders to say China is a threat is not only derogatory, it is a false accusation. I have proposed to have American English as the official national language of America and opposed using of any foreign language in government, business, and public places. I have lived in California some half a century. California was the Golden State when  Richard Nixon was the President, the best of everything in the Union. I have observed and watched in person how California is being destroyed and ruined by illegal aliens, Latino and Black and Asian gangs, crimes, drugs, graffiti, crooks and criminals, pimps and prostitutes, fake documentation, false claims, welfare fraud, prison population, dropout population, unemployment population, single-parent population, homosexual population, and by all the iniquities committed by Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood. 

Facts speak louder than propaganda and prejudice.  

On June 27, 2015 I believe the Unites States of America is destined to doom and destruction. If you see clearly and know what American leaders and politicians are doing, how can you be optimistic about the future of America? 

Judging from all the facts and the trend, I don’t believe the United States of America can be saved, or can last another century.

On June 27, 2015 Supreme Court declared nationwide right to same-sex marriage. The U.S. government (executive, legislative, judiciary) works together to destroy the Christian faith and value. Although America has never been a Christian nation, it is now no. 1 anti-Christian and anti-Bible nation in the world, thanks to the work of American leaders including Obama. It was like a 10-point earthquake and giant tsunami that wiped out the foundation of American moral values. America has committed a moral suicide that is wiping out the foundation of Christian value and practice.  The U.S. Supreme Court decision is a proof of American moral suicide which holds the three branches of government responsible and liable. Obama has accomplished nothing positive worthy to be mentioned in his two-terms, and yet this same-sex legalization is his achievement. In American world of distortion and perversion, the unnatural is declared natural; the abnormal is legalized as normal. America has a reached a moral point of no return – the moral Cassandra train is accelerating without brake or restraint in a fast track to doom and destruction. The destination of American high speed train is collapse of human civilization. The biggest and blackest lie is about marriage equality. Same-sex marriage is not an issue of equality; it is an issue of abnormality. Pretty soon maybe in America there will be advocates for marriage with animals – bestiality. If homosexuality has succeeded in becoming legal in America, bestiality is probably not far away.

According to PEW RESEARCH CENTER

Based on the facts presented above, I would no longer consider Scandinavia my favorite nations. At least the Scandinavia I knew (in 1975-76) is no longer the Scandinavia it is today. There is no endearment in deviation; fish-eye is not a precious pearl. Sad is the imminent collapse of human civilization.  

Here I stand, I can do no otherwise. 
The night is far spent, and the day is at hand. The coming of the Lord is near. The second coming of Christ is imminent.

15. Which nation has put 65 percent of all its most advanced and lethal weapons and more than  350,000  troops at China’s doorsteps and continuously with its allies conducting provocative and invasive military exercises and patrol in Asia Pacific? 
16. Which nation SINCE  2015  does not patrol in its own territories but under the pretext of navigation freedom routinely and habitually violates China military defense zones in the South China Sea and the East China Sea  and incites its running dogs to create trouble and turmoil in Asia Pacific? 

17. Which nation attempts to use law and sanctions to interfere in Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang the internal affairs of China? 

Sadly, 

The answer is: America. 

There is no reason to believe American imperialism will cease in the near future; there is much reason to believe that American leaders will grow worse and worse and may bring the world to the verge of global nuclear war and total destruction, unless they are effectively stopped by massive and fierce protests of American voters, or God. Although they claim to be Christians, Jesus Christ defines them as children of the devil.  Jhn 8:44 , “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” 

These are conclusions that any honest and intelligent person can draw without difficulty: 

1.  Legally Taiwan is a province of China (even acknowledged by the U.S. government); illegally Taiwan is a protected colony of America by force of American 7th Fleet since  1949, a political and military agent of   America being use to provoke and curb China peaceful rise. 

2.  From Lee Tung-hui, Chen Shui-bian, Ma Ying-jeou to Tsai Ing-wen all are more or less willing running and obedient dogs of America and agents to serve the interest of America, not China’s interest. 

3.   The fact that  DPP leader 民进党 Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文  needs and seeks approval of American government is self-evident of the naked aggression and provocative intervention of America in China’s internal affairs. America sells costly and deadly weapons as a strategy for the Chinese to kill Chinese.

4.  The fact that the two Taiwanese parties KMT and DPP both seek instruction and take order from the American government tells how evil it blatantly violates international law and the sovereignty of China. 

5.  The fact that KMT and DPP leaders and followers willingly want to serve the American interest proves that Taiwan and Taiwanese people have committed treason against the motherland China. 

6.  The fact that Taiwanese regime buying costly and deadly weapons from America to be used to kill Chinese tells clearly Taiwan has no intention to reunify with China. 

7.  The fact that  DPP Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文  wants to maintain so-called “current status” with China means Taiwan wants independence, two nations, separate states no matter how she tries to muddle issue and fool the public, she cannot change the true color of her face and the black color of her heart. 

8.  The fact that both KMT and DPP want to maintain current status because America does not want a unified and strong China; and American leaders are afraid of a strong and united China. 

9.  The fact that Taiwan does not want to reunify with China and they want to remain as a protected colony of America proves that Taiwanese leaders and people are China’s traitors. 

Jer 17:9-10 , “The heart is more deceitful above all things  

And is desperately wicked;  

Who can understand it?  

I, the LORD, search the heart,  

I test the mind,  

Even to give to each man according to his ways,  

According to the results of his deeds.” 

Note: Heart in Hebrew is  leb which means inner man, mind, will, understanding, soul, conscience, moral character, seat of being; – it occurs 591 times in the Old Testament. The Hebrew word  leb  is a complex, complicated, compound and profound word. Obviously, heart here does not mean the human organ that serves as a pump to circulate the blood to the body as a whole. The heart used in the Scriptures refers to the inner man, mind, will, soul, character, nature, intellect, central consciousness, the seat of being. Deceitful in Hebrew is     `aqob     which means sly, insidious, fraudulent; – it occurs 4 times in the Old Testament. Wicked in Hebrew is  anash  which means sick, weak, frail, ill, infirm, incurable, woeful; – it occurs 10 times in the Old Testament. Understand in Hebrew is  yada`  which means to know, perceive and see, find out and discern, recognize, discover, to be aware of; – it occurs 1,008 times in the Old Testament. Search and test are almost synonymous or parallel. Mind in Hebrew is kilyah  which means seat of emotion and affection, the inmost mind; – it occurs 34 times in the Old Testament. Here the Scriptures use heart and mind interchangeably or synonymously or in a parallel manner. Way in Hebrew is   Derek   which means road, path, manner, direction, habit, course of life, walking, mode; – it occurs 679 times in the Old Testament. Result in Hebrew is     pĕriy    which means fruit of actions; – it occurs 119 times in the Old Testament. Deed in Hebrew is   ma`alal   which means practice, act, doing, work, endeavor; – it occurs 41 times in the Old Testament. Here the Scriptures use ways and deeds interchangeably or synonymously or in a parallel manner. In sum, the Bible says the human mind, nature, soul or inner being of man is more deceitful than all and desperately wicked. Two words represent the heart are deceitful and wicked . This is a summative statement of the Word of God about human nature or the inner being of man. The Scriptures cited clearly depict the minds and souls, ways and deeds of  evil  leaders and others – more deceitful above all else and desperately wicked. 

Only God knows all the evil deeds and desperate wickedness that  evil leaders have done in this world. There are far more than we can understand or estimate. They appear even more deceitful and desperately wicked because they disguise themselves as angels and distort facts to make them look good even though they are doing evil. 

Here are some historical facts that American leaders have done: 

(A).  Since the infamous Opium Wars, the United States, Western powers (Britain, France, etc.) and the evil empire of Japan have wronged China too many times. They have destroyed, robbed, looted, and stolen China’s national treasures, historical relics, priceless antiques, paintings, sculptures, etc. amount to at least market value of   US$100,000 trillion; if destruction of Yuan Ming Garden (God created the Garden of Eden and China created Yuan Ming Garden – the Garden of gardens) is included, the amount would increase significantly. All robbed, looted and stolen China’s national treasures mentioned are now displayed or kept in American, European and Japanese palaces, royal, presidential, and state houses, public and private museums and libraries and in private collection. 

(B).  In 1949  the U.S. violated international law and sovereignty of China by sending the 7th Fleet to protect defeated Chiang Kai-shek regime and thus prevented Taiwan from reunification with Mainland China. Consequently it created the Taiwan problem to this day.

(C).  Since 1949   John Foster Dulles  established “ containment of China ” policy to oppress and suppress China to this day in every way and by all means. Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson had threatened to drop atomic bombs in China.

(D).  The U.S. militarily supported  Dalai Lama in 1959  in an armed rebellion against China, Dalai failed and fled and ever since became the highest paid foreign agent to destabilize and separate Tibet from China through inciting bloody riots, self-immolation of his followers, etc. but to no avail. Dalai will soon die and stink for a thousand years. Today Tibet is modern, progressive and prosperous and free peasant slavery imposed by Dalai years ago. Tibetans enjoy more rights and benefits than most Chinese.  In 2018 America used law in an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of Tibet, a part of China. 

(E).  In 1971  the U.S. again violated international law and China’s sovereignty by illegally giving administrative control of China’s Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. Diaoyu Islands have belonged to China longer than the existence of Japan and America. At first Obama stated the U.S. took no position on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands, later he contradicted himself and declared that the U.S. would defend Japan over Diaoyu Islands!

(F).  In 1979 the U.S. again violated international law, U.S. constitution and China’s sovereignty by passing the so-called   US-Taiwan Relations Act  to make Taiwan an American colony and force sale of costly and deadly weapons to Taiwanese regime so that Chinese may kill Chinese, and unfortunately from  Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian,   Ma Ying-jeou , to current female leader Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文 and others are willing running dogs of America and traitors of China. Taiwanese anti-China   DPP leaders  are apparent Chinese traitors and agents of America to separate Taiwan from China. Some political analyst suggested that after the liberation of Taiwan, all Chinese traitors should be publicly executed. Their descendants should not claim to be Chinese.

(G).  Since the end of World War II, American presidents have proven to be liars and robbers and killed in hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions they have conducted which had killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world. Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson  had threatened to use atomic bombs in China. Except  President Richard Nixon  who assured Chairman Mao that he would not attack China because Nixon was the only American president who sought a just and lasting peace for the world. 

(H).  During Obama’s first term, Obama said the U.S. was neutral on China-Japan territorial dispute and took no position on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands. However, by  2014    Obama declared to defend Japan against China. American has armed and re-militarized Japan with most advanced and deadly weapons, revised peace constitution into war constitution, manufacturing and selling weapons of death. 

(I).  Compounded by Obama’s “pivot to Asia” policy  which is a code word for American aggression into Asia Pacific that violated    Monroe Doctrine and intention to destroy China with American military allies, etc. Although the U.S. is located in North America, American leaders get lost in the world and do not know their place in the world by inciting and supporting Japan, rogue nations, etc. to make false claims to China’s territories in the South China Sea and the East China Sea in pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world domination. 

(J).  By hook or by crook, American leaders play double and duplicity against China in all fronts, political, military, trade, technology, etc. to fool Chinese leaders in some and shallow phony strategic relations and military exercises and broadcast China threat lie. Probably 95 percent    of American people do not know America is making every preparation to launch the coming war of aggression against China with its allies since it has placed  65 percent  of all its most advanced weaponry such as aircraft carriers, fleets, nuclear submarines, radars, missiles and anti-missiles, war planes, unmanned war planes and more than 330,000 troops at China’s doorsteps poised to strike imminently anytime. In contrast, China does not have one overseas military base, one ship, one war plane, one troop near America. American leaders have exponentially increased and intensified their illegal air and sea massive, intrusive and provocative spying and surveillance activities in China’s air defense zones and territorial waters. The combative and hostile of American forces in the air and at sea at China’s doorsteps are bound to have accidents or incidents by design.  America is committing suicide, to have war with China means “mutual destruction” and destruction of the world. 

Please read the following article:

https://williewongthought.hpage.com/why-the-united-states-must-not-have-war-with-china.html

These are some historical facts about Japanese leaders:

(A).  The Japanese prime minister flies high the Japanese war flag, re-militarize Japan, change peace constitution into war constitution, amass most advanced weapons and forces, manufacture and sell weapons of mass destruction, pretentiously bought and nationalized Diaoyu Islands, align   rogue nations, etc. to have the coming war with China. How can a nation avoid the tragedy of war without facing the fact, confession of war crimes and make reparations and compensations as the Germans did?

(B).  Japanese leaders deny Japanese war crimes, genocide of killing   50 million peoples (35 million Chinese and 15 million Asians), sex slavery and unprecedented atrocities and refused to pay war reparations and compensations; they even revised history textbooks to whitewash their inglorious past, glorify and worship their convicted and executed war criminals as national heroes and true gods; the evil Japanese prime minister even so distorted, deceitful and wicked to say Japanese soldiers were fighting for peace in World War II they created. 

(C).  Japanese leaders and people cannot differentiate between right and wrong, true and false; and they worship idols and the dead   as living god; they worship demons as gods.

(D).  American, Western and Japanese media do not have moral character and courage to ask the evil prime minister two questions: 

(1).   If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan, why the Japanese government had to pretentiously buy them? 

(2).   If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan, why the Japanese government had to pretentiously nationalize them? 

No nation in the history of mankind would buy and nationalize their own territory. 

(E).  A re-militarized Japan is likely to repeat the tragedy of World War II. The U.S. is on the wrong side of history by standing and supporting the Japan. 

In summary, there are tons of evidence and mountains of proof that   American and Japanese leaders have done wrong AND evil.  Chinese leaders must not be fooled by them. So the global nuclear war   may be coming, and the second coming of Jesus Christ to reign with the saints is near. 

Conflict between two individuals produces consequences between two persons. Conflicts between nations produce consequences between nations. The conflicts of the world are   of grave consequences. 

I.  The Basic Nature of Sin. 

Gen 4:7, “If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” 

Note: Sin in Hebrew is  chatta’ahwhich means a miss, misstep, slip with the foot, sinfulness; – it occurs about 296 times in the Old Testament. People who sin do not do well. People who do well do not sin. To rule over in Hebrew is  mashal  which means to have dominion, exercise dominion, reign; – it occurs about 81 times in the Old Testament. Sin is a bad master. Sin puts people down. Sin rules over sinners. Sin is a spiritual bondage. 

(A).  All sins are not equal. 

Gen 18:20, “And the Lord said: The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.” 

Note: Grave in Hebrew is kabad  which means heavy, burdensome, grievous, weighty, vehement, of enormity of wickedness; – it occurs about 116 times in the Old Testament. According to God, the sin of homosexuality is exceedingly grave. Something hideous and ominous is happening in Western nations that try to legitimize homosexuality and legalize same-sex marriage.  I tremble for Western leaders and politicians and Western mainstream media when they freely, flagrantly, and facetiously speak lies and make false accusations and charges against Russia and China and execute sanctions. They don’t seem to care that according to the Word of God, liars are going to Hell!

Jer 30:14 , “All your lovers have forgotten you; they care nothing for you; for I have dealt you the blow of an enemy, the punishment of a merciless foe, because your iniquity is great, because your sins are flagrant.” 

Note: Iniquity in Hebrew is  `avon  which means perversity, depravity, guilt, depraved action, consequence of or punishment for iniquity; – it occurs about 230 times in the Old Testament. Some sins are more flagrant than others. Flagrant in Hebrew is `  atsam  which means  vast, mighty, great, powerful, of great importance; – it occurs about 20 times in the Old Testament.  

Eze 16:52 , “Bear your disgrace, you also, for you have made judgment favorable to your sisters; because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.” Some sins are more abominable than others. Abominable in Hebrew is  go`al which means loathing which occurs only once in the Old Testament. 

Amo 5:12 , “For I know how many are your transgressions, and how great are your sins–you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and turn aside the needy in the gate.” 

Note: Transgression in Hebrew is pesha`   which means transgression against individual, nation or God; rebellion; – it occurs about 93 times in the Old Testament. Corruption is transgression against individual, nation and God. The sins of corrupt politicians and self-serving bureaucrats are great. Abuse of power, discrimination, injustice, oppression of the poor, taking a bribe, etc. are great sins. 

(B).   Sin is a great evil. 

Gen 39:9, “There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?” 

Note: Sin here is Hebrew is chata’ which means missing the way, going wrong, incurring guilt, missing the goal or path of right and duty, making a false step, erring from the mark, wandering from the way, bringing into guilt or condemnation or punishment; – it occurs about 238 times in the Old Testament. Evil in Hebrew is ra`  which means    misery, injury, calamity, wrong, ethical wickedness, something bad or badness; – it occurs about 663 times in the Old Testament. Adultery is a great evil and sin against God. In Western nations, adultery has gained social respectability。  In a decadent society, sexual immorality has become a way of life.  Australian politicians are reported to have sexual intercourse in the prayer room of their Parliament. The most upsetting is the fact that many Western nations claim to be Christian nations; and many Western leaders and politicians claim to be Christians.

(C).  Idolatry is sinning against God. 

Exd 23:33 , “They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.” 

Note: To serve idols or other gods is to sin against the true God. Idolatry is a sin and a snare. Snare in Hebrew is  mowqesh  which means  bait, lure, trap, something that brings us into evil; – it occurs about 27 times in the Old Testament. Primitive and superstitious countries still worship idols and false gods, but Western nations serve and worship the gods of money, power and sex. There is nothing in the world that brings peoples into evil than the love of money, power and sex.  

Exd 32:21 , “And Moses said to Aaron: What did this people do to you that you have brought a great sin upon them?”  

Exd 32:31 , “So Moses returned to the Lord and said: Alas, this people have sinned a great sin; they have made for themselves gods of gold.” Primitive peoples worship idols.  Worship the gold calf was a great sin. Capitalism has brought so much evil into the world as demonstrated by Wall Street. Most Americans do not worship idols, but they worship money, power and sex. 

(D).   Rebellion is as the sin of divination. 

1Sa 15:23 , “For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the Word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.” 

Note: Rebellion in Hebrew is  mĕriy  which means contumacy, insubordination; – it occurs about 23 times in the Old Testament. Here means rebellion against God, not nation. Divination in Hebrew is    qecem  which means witchcraft which occurs 11 times in the Old Testament. It seems there are many who claim to be Christians and do not know Chinese Fengshui is a kind of divination which the Bible condemns. I knew a female colleague who was so into Fengshui because she wanted to get rich. Presumption in Hebrew is  patsar  which means insolence, arrogance, display pushing, making blunt; – it occurs 7 times in the Old Testament. Saul had rejected the Word of the Lord, and the Lord also rejected him from being king. 

(E).  Eating blood is sinning against the Lord. 

1Sa 14:34 , “And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them: Let every man bring his ox or his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and do not sin against the Lord by eating with the blood. So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slew them there.” 

Gen 9:4 , “Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.” 

Lev 3:17 , “It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood.” 

Lev 7:26 , “Moreover you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwellings.” 

Lev 7:27 , “Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.” 

Lev 17:10 , “If any man of the house of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn among them eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.” 

Lev 17:12 , “Therefore I have said to the people of Israel: No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.” 

Note: Chinese Christians have to be extra careful. Because the Chinese people eat blood due to cultural practice. Chinese Christians must not follow the tradition but obey God and reject eating any blood. Why not to eat blood? 

Lev 17:14 , “For the life of every creature is the blood of it; therefore I have said to the people of Israel: You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.” 

When I was hired by the Ministry of Education as a professor at the National Overseas Chinese University, we had a private chef.  One day I discovered they put blood (not sure chicken, duck or pig’s blood into the soup).  I was infuriated when his assistant said it was good for me! To violate the commandment of God is never good for anybody! So Chinese Christians must beware of the food that may contain blood.

(F).   Killing without cause is sin against innocent blood. 

1Sa 19:5 , “For he took his life in his hand and he slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?” 

Note: Innocent in Hebrew is naqiy  which means free from guilt which occurs about 44 times in the Old Testament. Without cause in Hebrew is  chinnam    which means for nothing, freely,  for no purpose, in vain, undeservedly; – it occurs about 32 times in the Old Testament. Killing in Hebrew is  muwth  which means to have one executed, put to death, slay, destroy; – it occurs about 835 times in the Old Testament. To engage in war of aggression is to execute the innocent. Killing without cause includes wars of aggression, unjust military interventions, mass murders, etc.  Western powers are guilty of many genocides, and Japanese military killed 35 million Chinese.

The United States has oppressed, suppressed, attacked and killed Chinese since the infamous Opium Wars to the present. In order to be the world dictator, Obama is leading the evil beast of Japan, the leprous dogs to rob China’s territories and loot China’s resources in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, and arming the American agents to have a war of aggression against China. Few Americans realize that American aggression and expansion into Asia Pacific may trigger a global nuclear war that will destroy and end the world. 

UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, etc. have committed genocide which they have not acknowledged and paid reparations.

(G).   Sin provokes God to anger. 

1Ki 16:2 , “Inasmuch as I exalted you from the dust and made you leader over My people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made My people Israel sin, provoking Me to anger with their sins.” 

Note: To provoke in Hebrew is  ka`ac  which means to vex, make angry, anger, irritate; – it occurs about 54 times in the Old Testament. Sin is against God and so makes God angry. 

II.  The Multi-phasic Nature of Sin. 

Exd 34:7 , “Who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.” 

Note: There are three related words in this Scripture: iniquity, transgression and sin. Iniquity in Hebrew is `avon which means    depravity, perversity, mischief, guilt contracted by sinning, a depraved action, a crime; – it occurs 230 times in the Old Testament. Transgression in Hebrew is pesha` which means rebellion, defection,    transgression against God, nation or individual; a fault or trespass; – it occurs about 93 times in the Old Testament. Sin is  chatta’ath  , the same original word used in   Gen 4:7. The multiple nature of sin is compounded by iniquity, transgression and sin. 

(A).   Sin through ignorance. 

Lev 4:13-14 , “And if the whole congregation of Israel sins through ignorance, and the thing be hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty; when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the congregation shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.” See also  

Lev 4:27-28,   Lev 5:15-16. 

Note: Sin through ignorance in Hebrew is  shagah  which means to commit sin of ignorance or inadvertence, err ignorantly, go astray; – it occurs about 21 times in the Old Testament. The sin offering was done to make atonement for the sin of the congregation. The bull, or calf or goat or ram or lamb killed as a sin offering symbolized the Lamb of God – Jesus Christ – who takes away the sin of the world. 

(B).   Doing any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done. 

Lev 5:17,  “If any one sins, doing any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, though he does not know it, yet he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity.” 

Note: Clearly, sin is doing any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done. That which is commanded by the Lord not to be done is sin. 

(C).  A breach of faith against the Lord. 

 Lev 6:2 , “If any one sins and commits a breach of faith against the Lord by deceiving his neighbor in a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or if he has oppressed his neighbor” 

Note: Breach of faith in Hebrew is ma`al  which means unfaithful or treacherous act, trespass, treachery; – it occurs 29 times in the Old Testament. To deceive in Hebrew is  kachash  which means to lie, belie, deal falsely, act deceptively; – it occurs 22 times in the Old Testament.   Little do people know that deceiving one’s neighbor in a matter of deposit or security commits a breach of faith against the Lord. Wall Street bankers, mortgage and insurance executives, etc. deceived and robbed the public by creating the American economic and financial crisis committed a breach of faith against the Lord. They may escape the kangaroo court of man, but they cannot escape the judgment of God. 

(D).  Hatred in the heart. 

Lev 19:17,  “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason with your neighbor, lest you bear sin because of him.” 

Note: Hatred is a sin. Hate in Hebrew in  sane’ which occurs about 146 times in the Old Testament. In this verse sin in Hebrew is chet’  which means fault, guilt for sin, penalty of sin; – it occurs about 33 times in the Old Testament. 

Recently, blacks and whites commit crime of hatred against Asian Americans without cause or reason. I witnessed on TV a black young man pushed an old Asian American from behind so hard that he fell to the ground and died later. I also watched on TV a big black man trampled and stamped on the small Asian woman’s head and body without cause and reason, while another big black man watching behind the glass door of another store and started closing the glass door. I watched the blacks robbed an Asian store, etc. I had also watched the two most violent black riots and looting and killings in the history of Los Angeles or America.

(E).   Cursing God. 

 Lev 24:15 , “And say to the people of Israel: Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.” 

Note: Curse in Hebrew is qalal  which means to make despicable, treat with contempt, bring contempt or dishonor, despise; – it occurs about 82 times in the Old Testament. Cursing God is a sin. Sin in this verse is used as the same word in  Lev 19:17.  It does not mean the sin of hating your brother is the same sin of cursing God. The sin of cursing God is much greater than the sin of hating your brother. 

(F).   Sinning against humanity. 

Num 5:6 –7 , “Say to the people of Israel: When a man or woman commits any of the sins that men commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person is guilty, he shall confess his sin which he has committed; and he shall make full restitution for his wrong, adding a fifth to it, and giving it to him to whom he did the wrong.” 

Note: Sin is wrongdoing. When you sin against humankind, you break faith with the Lord. The sins of mankind, the word sin used in this verse is the same original word used in   Gen 4:7.  If you wrong anyone, you shall make full restitution for his wrong, and add a fifth to it. Japanese killed 50 million Chinese, denied the genocide and refused to pay restitutions and compensations. Japanese not only sin against the Chinese, they sin against God. With American aid, the war crime nation Japan is re-militarized to be the number one military force in Asia. Probably tragic is to repeat the history of World War II. 

If you watch all the TV news and reports on how companies and individuals manufacture drugs, food and drink with high content of toxic and harmful and deadly materials and additives, you would not dare to eat or drink anything! This appears to be a national emergency more dangerous and deadly than SARS or COVID-19  because it is intentionally caused and created by wicked people infected by incurable capitalistic greed. Just as China has demonstrated its abilities in dealing with natural disasters, I am sure China is fully capable in dealing with such man-made disaster. It is hoped Chinese government will prosecute and execute any responsible people or groups of people who manufacture and sell toxic and harmful products in the form of drug, food, drink, etc. It is high time to eliminate those mass murderers who violate the law boldly for the sake of high profits. Perhaps mass execution is necessary to stop and eliminate this evil deed infected by capitalistic greed. If corrective action is not taken promptly and effectively to stop those mass killers, the consequences would be disastrous of unimaginable magnitude and unthinkable calamity and catastrophe. It would be like committing suicide. When you have internal enemies like those deliberate killers, you do not need external enemies who are at work to destroy China. 

American contagion of health care terrorism has infected China. Something frightening and fearful has happened in China! The American fraudulent and predatory practices of doctors and hospitals have come to China. It was reported that one man was treated in a Harbin hospital emergency and intensive care and died; his medical bill was 5.5 million yuan. One recent case of a patient who had gall stone surgery which was told the cost would be a couple thousand yuan. Under the pretext of saving life, then doctors and the hospital made the patient very ill but prohibited the family to visit and told them the patient was getting better but never mentioned or demanded to advance payment or disclosed the amount. Later a simple gall stone surgery killed the patient and the bill was RMB 450,000 with a dead patient. I watched on TV how the responsible doctor shamelessly and unconscionably rationalized the costs and justified the high fees of RMB 450,000 as normal and not much. Apparently the doctor had seared his conscience and lost his sense of morality and honesty and respectability. 

Since health care is a monopoly, what evil doctors and hospitals can do is inestimable and immeasurable. It is hoped the Chinese government would take drastic action now to stop the deadly contagion of American capitalistic greed before it becomes unstoppable and devastates the Chinese society. The simple but effective remedy is to execute doctors who commit fraudulent and predatory practices (such as charging large sums for unnecessary or unperformed tests, procedures, treatments, drugs, etc., excessive and fake billing, fake medical record, lies about patient condition, malpractice, misinformation, misrepresentation, etc.) and execute hospital owners who participate in the organized crime and seize their assets to pay victims. Doctors and hospitals that commit outrageous and malicious illegal practices must be put to death and put out of business. There are already American and Western doctors and dentists who practice medicine in China’s big cities and charge the rich Chinese high fees (many times what Chinese public hospitals charge). This dual medical system cannot be tolerated in a just society. Do not allow doctors and dentists and hospitals become healthcare terrorists in China. Under the Chinese legal system, no one is allowed to prey on another person. Do not let the Chinese health-care system fall into the monopolistic, abusive and oppressive and most costly health-care like that of the United States which sucks the blood of American people and bankrupted millions of American families with impunity. 

(G).   Doing what is evil. 

Deu 9:18 , “Then I lay prostrate before the Lord as before, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin which you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.” 

Note: Sin in this Scripture is the same sin used in   Gen 4:7 . Sin is doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord. Western nations and mass media try to make homosexuality and same-sex marriage acceptable and respectable, but in the sight of God, homosexuality or same-sex marriage is evil.  Sin is doing what is evil. 

Evil is in Hebrew is  ra`  which means wicked, bad, disagreeable, malignant, unpleasant; – it occurs about 663 times in the Old Testament. 

Deu 20:18 , “That they may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices which they have done in the service of their gods, and so to sin against the Lord your God.” 

Note: Abominable in Hebrew is tow`ebah  which means disgusting, impure and illicit, wicked, unethical; – it occurs about 117 times in the Old Testament.  Homosexuality was one of the abominable practices of ancient peoples which they had done in the service of their gods. Homosexuality is an abominable practice in the sight of God and it sins against the Lord your God. 

Sin is doing what is evil.

(H).   Withholding wages. 

Deu 24:15 , “You shall give him his hire on the day he earns it, before the sun goes down (for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it); lest he cry against you to the Lord, and it be sin in you.” 

Pro 11:18 ,“The wicked earns deceptive wages, but he who sows righteousness gets a true reward.” 

Note: Deceptive in Hebrew is sheqer  which means fraudulent, wrong, false; – it occurs about 113 times in the Old Testament.  Those Wall Street big firm executives and bankers who were responsible for creating the American economic and financial crisis and out of taxpayers’ bailout money gave themselves exorbitant compensations and billions in bonuses earned deceptive wages.   2Pe 2:15  , “Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.” Unrighteousness in Greek is  adikia which means injustice, unrighteousness by which others are deceived; – it occurs 25 times in the New Testament. Wages of unrighteousness are unjust riches wrongly acquired, unlawful gain.  Politics and government are corrupted because politicians and bureaucrats love the wages of unrighteousness. Holding wages is a financial sin. 

Mal 3:5,  “Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the alien and do not fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts.” Greedy capitalists are guilty of oppressing the wage earner in his wages by underpay, overwork, depriving of benefits and medical insurance, holidays and vacation, etc. It is a flawed economic system where some individuals can earn several billions a year while millions still earn the minimum wage of $7.30-$10 an hour without benefits.   1Ti 5:18 , “For the Scripture says: “YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING,” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” Underpaying workers is an evil, overpaying the special group is also an evil. In a white-dominated society, the top wage earners are mostly white people who are overpaid, some minority are also overpaid due to Affirmative Action, many minorities are discriminated through low pay. 

(I).   The devil has sinned from the beginning. 

1Jo 3:8 , “He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” 

Note: Sin in Greek is hamartia  which means to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honor,  violate God’s law, do or go wrong, miss the mark; – it occurs about 174 times in the New Testament. Sin is diabolical. 

The works of the devil are sins and all the misery that springs from them. 

(J).   Sin is insatiable. 

2Pe 2:14 , “They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have a heart trained in greed. Accursed children!” 

Note: Sin is insatiable that explains greed, lust, obsession with power, and many evil things in the world. There is no better description of those Wall Street operatives who created the economic and financial crisis; they have a heart trained in greed. Wall Street has a language so cryptic that even an educated person might not understand, and a system so sophisticated that only insiders understand and you are not even aware when you are defrauded. Only the trained insiders know the facts. The pages and pages of fraudulent billings manufactured by corrupt doctors and hospitals tell the shocking fact that sin is insatiable. Greed is insatiable–a bottomless pit. 

The evil trinity of Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood    demonstrates the wrong way of life and the path to death and destruction. The love of money, power and sex drives people mad and blinds their eyes, and deadens their conscience. 

There is absolutely no evidence that China or Russia wants to destroy the United States of America. There is plenty of evidence that the United States wants to destroy China and Russia without cause. Worse, there are plenty of facts and proofs that  America is committing suicide. Arnold Joseph Toynbee said, “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder. ”  The land of Abraham Lincoln, who advocated a government of the people, by the people and for the people has been led astray in recent years at an alarming speed and turned into a government of special interests, by special interests and for special interests. The Bible says, “ Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. ” ( Pro 14:34  ) I am an American; I do not want my country to be destroyed. 

China’s domestic enemies are divided into national enemies and public enemies. 

National enemies are all domestic terrorists supported by foreign enemies which engage in terrorist activities in rioting, killing, burning, looting, robbing, injuring people, etc. intended to destabilize and destroy China; their activities are reported in Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. Dalai Lama has been the highest paid foreign agent to separate Tibet from China. Taiwan is a traitor, Taiwanese officials are running dogs of America, and leaders of the anti-China party (DPP) are proven traitors and national enemies of China. China’s national enemies also include leaders and followers of evil religions that practice murders, extortion, brutality, sex slavery, etc. 

There is a new evil religion appears to do evil without fear of law or death penalty. They claim to believe in the almighty god ( 全能神 ), not the true Almighty God of the Bible. Their god is not almighty god but all evil god of their own imagination and illusion. The believers of such evil religion are absolutely immoral, wicked and vicious beyond description. There have been some heretics and crooked evildoers of false religions in China before; this new one seems to be the most wicked one. Chinese government and people have no choice but to eliminate them by force like eliminating deadly mosquitoes and do not let them to have a living space not to say operating space. Any religion which is used as a means to do evil cannot be tolerated, much less accepted. For example, primitive religion practices human sacrifice – no civilized country would accept human sacrifice as a religions practice, it is murder. Some religions practice polygamy, in China and most civilized nations accept only monogamy. These dangerous evildoers have demonstrated to the public that they are national and public enemies that do not deserve mercy or human right. Inhuman animals must not be treated like civilized humans. 

President Putin is right, China-Russia military cooperation is vital to  world security. It is also necessary to deter  American imperialism  and destroy Islamic terrorism. The most effective deterrence to American aggression and world domination is for China and Russia to join forces and stand together. 

There is no rational reason to explain why people lie and kill and rob senselessly except that is the nature of the devil, and the children of the devil inherited the nature from their father the devil. 

Jhn 8:44 ,“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”  

Note: Devil in Greek is  diabolos  which means a calumniator, false accuser, slanderer; the prince of demons; the author of evil; – it occurs 40 times in the New Testament. Murderer in Greek is  anthrōpoktonos  which means a killer, manslayer, one who commits murder; – it occurs 3 times in the New Testament. Lie in Greek is  pseudos which means conscious and intentional falsehood, a false statement or action, whatever is not what it seems to be; perverse, impious, deceitful precept; whatever is not what it professes to be; – it occurs 11 times in the New Testament. Western leaders and politicians and Western mainstream media use lies as a weapon against Russia and China.

The liars and killers and evildoers may escape the International Criminal Court, but surely they will not escape the judgment of God. The Judgment Day is at hand. 

III. The Evidence of Sin. 

How can one know sin? 

(A). The knowledge of sin is provided by the Word of God. 

Rom 7:7,“What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said: You shall not covet.” 

Note: Sin in Greek is   hamartia  which means missing the mark, transgression, wandering away from the path of uprightness, doing wrong, evil act, violation of God’s law in thought, word or deed. The Law of God tells you what sins are. The Bible is the Word of God. 

(B). Sin is deceitful by nature and sin hardens people. 

Rom 7:11,“For sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.” 

Note: Every sinner is deceived by sin, killed by sin spiritually and physically eventually. 

Hbr 3:13,“But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called Today, so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” 

Note: Deceitfulness in Greek is  apatē  which means deceit, deceiving, deceivableness, seductiveness; – it occurs 7 times in the New Testament. Sin is deceitful because of excited influences that seduce people to sin. 

A journalist wrote, “Among the attributes I most envy in a public man (or woman) is the ability to lie. If that ability is coupled with no sense of humor, you have the sort of man who can be a successful football coach, a CEO or, when you come right down to it, a presidential candidate. Such a man is Mitt Romney… A marathon of debates and an eon of campaigning have toughened and honed Romney. He commands the heights of great assurance, and he knows, as some of us learn too late in life, that the truth is not always a moral obligation but sometimes merely what works. He often cites his business background as commending him for the presidency. That’s his forgivable absurdity. Instead, what his career has given him is the businessman’s concept of self — that what he does is not who he is. This is what enables the slumlord to be a charitable man. This is what enables the corporate raider to endow his university. Business is business. It’s what you do. It is not who you are. Lying isn’t a sin. It’s a business plan.” 

Num 32:23 ,“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out.” 

Note: Find out in Hebrew is matsa’ which means to meet, encounter, detect, come upon, discover, learn, obtain knowledge; – it occurs 456 times in the Old Testament. People will discover or learn or obtain knowledge about your past sin – thing you want to hide. The Bible does not say people will find you out. The Bible says your sin will find you out. When your sin finds you out, people will know. Remember the sex scandal of a U.S. president, several governors and senators and politicians, etc. It has been reported that the Yahoo chief executive Scott Thompson lied in his biography because he did not earn a computer science degree. If you lie in this world and people can find out, how much more God knows about your lies that no one knows. You cannot escape because your sin will find you out. Sin is the weakest thing, it cannot defend itself. Sin brings shame, sorrow, ruin and eventually death. Those who have escaped the consequences of their sins and iniquities in this world should not feel lucky for they will not escape the judgment of God.  In the last 500 years all the sins and crimes committed by Western imperialists and colonialists are found out.

Sad and tragic is the American way of life. Sad and dirty is American politics. Such is the abnormality and absurdity of American mentality. Do you know any American president or who wants to be president that does not lie? Let Christians everywhere beware this is contrary to the teaching of Jesus Christ.  Jhn 8:44,“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”   1Jo 2:21,“I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.” 1Cr 6:9-10,“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the Kingdom of God.” The Word of God speaks clearly; I do not need to explain. 

Hbr 11:25,“Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.” 

Note: The reason peoples are deceived by sin because sin has pleasures; however, the pleasures of sin are passing or temporary. 

1Jo 3:8,“The one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.” 

Note: The devil was the first one who sinned, the fallen angel Lucifer who had unholy ambition to be like God,  Isa 14:12-15. 

(C).   Sin is a bondage. 

Jhn 8:34,“Jesus answered them: Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.” 

Note: Slave in Greek is doulos which means a bondman, man of servile condition, indentured servant; – it occurs about 127 times in the New Testament. Since sinner is a slave of sin, so sin is slavery or bondage. Sin controls people like a harsh master. For a small example, smoking enslaves people.  Warmongers may think they are victors, but actually they are the slaves of sin.

Rom 7:14,“For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin.” 

Note: Bondage in Greek is pipraskō which means slavery, entirely under the control of another; – it occurs 9 times in the New Testament. Sin is bondage worse than addiction is slavery. 

Hbr 12:1, “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” 

Note: Encumbrance in Greek is ogkos which means burden, weight; – it occurs only once in the New Testament. Entangle in Greek is euperistatos  which means skillfully surrounding, besetting; – it occurs only once in the New Testament.  Sin entangles people like a spider web that skillfully traps insects, immobilizes and imprisons them to be eaten up. Once a woman challenged me to give the evidence of her sin. How embarrassingly stupid! The evidence of sin is in her. 

Rom 3:20, “Because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.” 

The knowledge of sin comes from the Law. Let us just try the Ten Commandments. 

(a). If she is single, how many men she had sex with? That is fornication. If she is married, how many men she had sex with? That is adultery. 

(b). How many lies she had told? 

(c). How many evil thoughts she had conceived? 

1Jo 1:8, “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.” 

According to the Word of God, the woman who demands the evidence of her sin deceives herself and the truth is not in her. 

2Pe 2:14 , “Having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children.” 

Note: Men and women have eyes full of adultery. 

I do not know, but God knows everything about you – the secret things. 

Jhn 15:22, “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.” 

Sin is a deliberate act; there is no excuse for sin. A man got drunk and drove and killed a person. The drunk driver said it was an accident and he did not mean it. A drinker knows if he drinks and drives, he is bound to kill someone. The drunk driver has no excuse for sin. The murderer, robber, rapist, terrorist, warmonger, etc. – all have no excuse for sin. 

IV.   The Definitions of Sin. 

(A).  Whatever is not of faith is sin. 

Rom 14:23,“But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.” 

Note: Faith is Greek is  pistis which means a conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and obedience born of faith and joined with it; the conviction that God exists by Himself and is the creator and ruler of the universe, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ; a strong conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, the Savior of the world, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the Kingdom of God; – it occurs about 244 times in the New Testament. This Scriptural definition covers many sins. Fundamentally, a man lives in his own way, not by faith according to the Word of God, is sin. To go your own way, and not to do the Will of God, is sin. Consulting astrologers is not of faith, therefore it is sin. Anything or everything that contradicts faith is sin. No one who has faith in Christ would consult idols, astrologers, fortunetellers, etc. or believe in false teachings.  The fact you do not believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God is a sin.

Unbelief is sin.  The fact you do not believe in God and His Son Jesus Christ, you have committed sin. Even murder can be forgiven (such as the thief on the cross), but the sin of unbelief can never be forgiven. 

Jhn 16:9 , “Concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me (Christ).” 

Note: Christ is the Messiah who was sent from God to save mankind, it is sin if you do not believe in Him. 

Question: Where is unbelief located? 

In an evil heart. 

Hbr 3:12, “Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God.” 

Note: Evil in Greek is ponēros which means bad in general, wicked, of a bad nature or condition; – it occurs 76 times in the New Testament. Unbelief is evil; a heart of unbelief is an evil heart. 

(B).   Not doing the right thing is sin. 

Jam 4:17,“Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.” 

Note: This is the sin of omission. Doing wrong is sin. For example, American economic and financial crisis was brought about by corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, executives of Wall Street, banks, and firms doing the wrong things, mainly greed, corrupt practices, fraud, and waste. 

Your duty is doing the right thing. Your responsibility is the right thing. Failure to do what is right is sin. Excessive executive compensation is not doing the right thing, therefore it is sin to exploit and defraud the people. Giving tax cuts to the rich is wickedness, it is sin. To engage in a war of aggression is not doing the right thing, it is sin. 

(C).   Sin is lawlessness. 

1Jo 3:4 ,“Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.” 

Note: Lawlessness in Greek is  anomia which means contempt and violation of law. It is iniquity or wickedness to add poison to drug or food. It is lawlessness to pollute the environment by dumping sewage, industrial or chemical waste. It is lawlessness to sell fake products and make false advertisements. Sin practices lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness. Anarchy is lawlessness. The worst of all, many corrupt lawmakers, politicians, dictators, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, business executives, law enforcement officials, doctors and hospital owners, etc. practice lawlessness. All crooks and criminals and terrorists practice lawlessness.     

(D).   All unrighteousness is sin. 

1Jo 5:17, “All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.” 

Note: Unrighteousness in Greek is  adikiawhich means injustice, a deed violating law and justice, iniquity, misdeed, wrongdoing.  It is unrighteousness for Western leaders and politicians to falsely accuse China of genocide and abuses of human rights in Xinjiang. All unrighteousness is sin. To the contrary, China has done a great job in winning over terrorism, and the people of Xinjiang are enjoying a good life of peace and harmony and prosperity.

To give tax cuts and subsidies to the rich corporations and individuals and to bail out rich banks and firms are acts of unrighteousness. To overcharge and fraudulently charge patients by doctors, hospitals and medical suppliers are deeds of unrighteousness. To blackmail and falsely accuse people are injustice. For anyone to practice fraud and waste is unrighteousness. 

(E).   Sin is the transgression of the law. 

Hbr 2:2 ,“For if the Word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty.” 

Note: Transgression in Greek is  parabasis which means a disregarding, violating, the breach or breaking of a law; – it occurs 7 times in the New Testament. Sin is the transgression of the law; sin is the violation of the law. The nature of violation of the law is disobedience. 

Of some 6,500 swindling spams (not advertising) I have received through e-mails and messages since the Christmas season of 2011, most of them are Africans and Muslims, most are women black and white, some Muslims call themselves doctors, some Muslims call themselves princes, a few call themselves princesses, one calls himself a prince with an English name, most are Nigerian con artists, some whites, many women who want to sell their bodies, few men want to sell sex, one Chinese, one crook from Taiwan who offered phony partnership, one used the name of the United Nations Office to beg for money (the beggar has an English name),  a Microsoft Award of Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Great British Pound (£950,000.00) from the Event Manager Dr. Christopher Baker, Australian National Lottery Department cash prize of $1,000,000 even though you never play the lottery with a winning ticket number, various investment scams and phony business proposals, phony winning of lottery without buying, one who calls himself a pastor in Sweden, and two who claimed to be pastors want to do business with me by selling my products (writings) although I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for free, most shamelessly call their intended victims dearest, all demand urgent attention. Their methods of deception vary: some appeal in the name of charity, some sheer begging, most use baits, a few even use the name of God in vain    – they are all liars and swindlers. These shameless, lawless, artless, senseless, wicked and conscienceless people have only one in common; they con people for money, money, and money. Some women solicit sex for money. Deviousness and shamelessness characterize all scam artists and swindlers. These swindlers are so shameless, low, degenerate and depraved that they even ask their intended victims to trust them. They are everything what a human being should not be; the scums of the earth. They lie and lie and lie because they are the children of the father of lies, the children of darkness. 

The crux of fraud through spams is that crooks and criminals fraudulently offer you money as bait, but their intent is to defraud lots of money from you. Using money as a bait to get money is a satanic trick, because what these con artists offer you are empty false promises, what they will get from you is real money. So wise up, do not fall into the trap. The best thing is to mark their e-mails as “spam” and delete them without even reading because they are not worth wasting your time. The origins of these crooks and criminals reflect the true color and character of their countries and cultures. 

V.  Two Types of Sin: 

(A).   Commission and omission. 

Exd 20:14 , “You shall not commit adultery.” 

Num 5:6 , “Say to the people of Israel, When a man or woman commits any of the sins that men commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person is guilty.” 

Mat 13:41, “The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness.” 

Note: To commit lawlessness is to sin. To commit in Greek is poieo which means to make, to be the author of, cause, produce, carry out, execute; – it occurs about 579 times in the New Testament.  Sins of commission are many, such as adultery, murder, robbery, rape, arson, assault, fraud, false testimony, falsified records, fornication, false gospel, counterfeit money, idolatry, greed, etc. When a man or woman commits any sin, he/she breaks faith with the Lord and that person is guilty. Guilty in Hebrew is ‘asham  which means contracting guilt,  incriminated, committing an offense, doing wrong; – it occurs about 35 times in the Old Testament.  When Western powers without cause attack, occupy, lie, rob, and kill peoples of other countries, they commit lawlessness.

When God says: “You shall not…” but you did – that is the sin of commission. 

There are two sins which apparently relate to the performance of actors and actresses. One is sexual immorality with a sexual intercourse actually performed on the screen or stage. It is not a make-believe, it is physical real sexual act performed by actor and actress on the stage or on the screen. Even it is a play or a movie, but it is an actual sex act; therefore it is a sin of sexual immorality whether it is adultery or fornication. Another is the worship of idols or ancestors. This often happens in Chinese play or movie. No Christian actor or actress may perform sex act and idolatry or ancestor worship on screen or stage. To do so is to violate the commandments of God. 

Luk 11:42 , “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.” 

Note: Neglect in Greek is  parerchomai which means to pass by, go past, pass over, disregard, omit; – it occurs about 31 times in the New Testament. 

Sins of omission are many, such as disobedience, failure to do your duty, disregard of the Word of God, etc. When you pass by and see a man drowning, you know how to swim but you do not save the drowning person is a sin of omission. When you drive a bus, you fall asleep and kill passengers, that is the sin of omission. You omit your responsibility as a driver. You do not discipline your children, that is also a sin of omission. You are a teacher but you do not fulfill your professional responsibility, that is a sin of omission. You are a doctor, you misdiagnose or commit malpractice, you are guilty of the sin of omission. You fail to support your parents, that is also a sin of omission. 

When God says: “You shall…” but you did not – that is the sin of omission. 

The most tragic sin of omission: 

Jhn 3:20 ,“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.” 

Note: Evildoer does not come to the Light. Evildoers are afraid of the Light to expose their sins and evil deeds. 

(B).   Mortal and Not Mortal sin. 

1Jo 5:16 ,“If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that.” 

Note: Not a mortal sin is a sin which does not lead to death. A mortal sin is a sin which leads to death. 

Mar 3:29, “But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.” 

The sin against the Holy Spirit is a mortal sin. Those who reject Jesus Christ as the Son of God are guilty of an eternal sin which never has forgiveness. 

VI.  The universality of sin. 

Universality of sin means there is no human who does not sin. Sin is committed by all everywhere. All have sinned. The only exception is Jesus Christ, the Sinless One, the Holy One of God. 

1Ki 8:46  ,“When they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near.” 

Ecc 7:20  ,“Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.” 

Jhn 8: 7,“But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them: He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 

Note: No one is without sin. Sinners should not throw stones at others. 

Rom 3:9 ,“What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin.” 

Note: The peoples of the world can be divided into Jews and Gentiles. If you are not a Jew, you are a Gentile. Both Jews and Gentiles (the humankind) are all under sin. Under in Greek is hypo which means in an undesirable situation or position, subjecting to the power of; – it occurs 230 times in the New Testament.  All humans are under sin means all are subjecting to the power of sin. People who are under sin are under the burden of sin, under the power of sin, under a curse (   Gal 3:10 ) , under condemnation ( Jam 5:12),  sold under sin ( Rom 7:14  ), under punishment until the day of judgment (  2Pe 2:9  ). 

Rom 5:12 , “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned.” 

Note: All in Greek is  pas  which means each, every, any, in an absolute sense all persons taken individually, all human beings; – it occurs about 1,243 times in the New Testament. All includes the arrogant class of people such as emperor, king, queen, dictator, president, prime minister, general, chairman, tycoon, CEO, philanthropist, monopolist, supremacist, hegemonist, terrorist, etc. – they are just as sinners as common crooks and criminals are.  All have sinned includes the richest and the most powerful. For that reason, all will die. 

Gal 3:22 ,“But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.” 

Note: Shut up in Greek is sygkleiō which means to enclose, conclude, subject to without means of escape; – it occurs only 4 times in the New Testament. Everyone is under sin, no exception. Jesus Christ was sinless because He was the Son of God, sent by God, to save mankind. 

1Jo 1:8 ,“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 

Note: Deceive in Greek is  planaō  which means to go astray, wander, to be led into error, to be led astray; – it occurs about 39 times in the New Testament. When you are deceived by others, you are led astray by others. When you deceive yourself, you led yourself astray. 

Sin is a universal malady. Man by nature is sinful. The prostitution scandal committed by secret service men testifies to the fallacy and folly of secret clearance given by defense department and White House. No sinner can have secret clearance. Given a chance, every sinner sins. A sinner is not dependable. How can a sinner give clearance to another sinner? How can an evil man give clearance to another evil man? How can a corrupt institution give clearance to anyone? Those who give others clearance are not cleared from sin and freed from evil themselves. You cannot find a sin or any sin which is not related to the love of money, or the love of power, or the love of sex – these are the prevalent values of America and Europe and they are infecting the whole world.  The one phenomenon is the fact that Western leaders and politicians sin on purpose and without shame or regret.

VII.   The Penalty of Sin. 

(A).   The penalty of sin is personal. 

Deu 24:16 ,“The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.” 

Eze 18:4 , “Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins shall die.” 

Eze 18:20 ,“The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” 

Note: Children are not responsible for the sins of their fathers. Fathers are not responsible for the sins of their children. God instituted death penalty. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin. The penalty of sin is personally applied. Put to death is an execution. Execution is capital punishment. God instituted capital punishment for certain crimes or sins. Capital punishment is not murder. Execution of justice is not cruelty. Murderers and terrorists are cruel, they deserve unusual punishment. Those who oppose death penalty are enemies of innocent victims. Those who oppose capital punishment oppose God’s law. Those who oppose God’s law oppose God. 

2Ki 14:6 , “But the sons of the slayers he did not put to death, according to what is written in the book of the Law of Moses, as the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers; but each shall be put to death for his own sin.” 

Gen 9:6 , “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.” 

Num 35:33 , “You shall not thus pollute the land in which you live; for blood pollutes the land, and no expiation can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of him who shed it.” 

Note: The most polluted land is where there are most bloodshed, where people commit most murders and killings. Execution of murderers is neither killing nor murder. Capital punishment removes bloody pollution from the land. 

Mat 13:41 ,“The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers.” 

Note: Sinners are evildoers. Evildoers will be finally gathered out by angels and send to hell for eternal punishment. 

Gen 4:11-13,“Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth. Cain said to the LORD: My punishment is too great to bear!” 

Note: Cain was not sorry for killing his brother, he was sorry for the punishment of his sin which he thought was too great to bear. The Hebrew word for curse is  ‘ararwhich means to abhor, detest, damn, bring evil and injury on; – it occurs 63 times in the Old Testament.  Sin brings curses. Sin brings sorrows. Sin brings pain. Sin brings death. The Hebrew word for punishment is `avon which means  perversity, depravity, iniquity, guilt or punishment of iniquity, consequence of or punishment for iniquity, calamity, penalty; – it occurs 230 times in the Old Testament. The consequence of sin is penalty. The consequence of sin is punishment. The Hebrew word for bear is  nasa’ which means to lift, bear up, carry, take, suffer, endure; – it occurs 654 times in the Old Testament. This is always the case: Miserable sinner what he is afraid is not sinning, but the consequences of sin, in another word the penalty of sin. When an evildoer kills someone innocent and encounters death penalty, he and his lawyers say it is an unusual and cruel punishment. When a rapist is sentenced, he always says his punishment is too great to bear. When Wall Street executives looted the world more than $50 trillion and no one went to jail or punished tells you the flawed and evil criminal justice system. Anyhow, your sin will find you out. No one can escape Judgment of God, not with the dream team of lawyers; for many lawyers will also go into Hell.  

(B).  The results of sin: 

(1).  Toward God – fall short of God’s glory. 

Rom 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Every sin comes short of the glory of God. Every sin insults the holy God.

I do not know John Edwards and have no malice toward him. John Edwards (6-3-11) admitted that he was using $925,000 in under-the-table campaign contribution to hide his pregnant mistress during his 2008 run for president. This illustrates the Biblical truth, Num 32:23, “But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.” There is no escape, your sin will find you out. Perhaps Mr. Edwards is better than some politicians who denied under oath. Sin has horrible consequences in this life and on the Day of Judgment.

(2).  Toward man – the wages of sin is death. 

Rom 6:23 ,“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

Note: If you have no sin, you will not die. If you will die, because you do have sin. That is the ultimate proof. 

Rom 8:2 ,“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.” 

Sin brings death. That is inevitable and inescapable. 

Jhn 8:24 ,“I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am He.” 

Jhn 8:21,“Then He (Christ) said again to them, I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.” 

Note: All who do not believe in Jesus the Messiah will die in their sins. 

Everyone and anyone who does not believe in Jesus Christ will die in his/her sin. 

Rom 6:16, “Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?” 

Note: Sin results in death. There is no escape. 

1Cr 15:56,“The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.” 

The sting of death is sin, sin stings people to death. 

Jam 1:15,“Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.” 

Note: The mother of sin is lust. Sin brings forth death. 

VIII.  The Qualifications of the Savior. 

(A).   In Jesus there is no sin. 

1Jo 3:5 ,“You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.” 

Note: To take away in Greek is  airō which means to take upon one’s self and carry what has been raised up, to bear away what has been raised, carry off, to remove, to remove the guilt and punishment of sin by expiation, to cause that sin be neither imputed nor punished; to destroy – it occurs about 102 times in the New Testament.  

Jhn 1:29, “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said: Behold, the Lamb of  God who takes away the sin of the world!” This was what John the Baptist testified. This is still what the Holy Spirit testifies! Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 

(B).   Tempted in all things, yet without sin. 

Hbr 4:15,“For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.” 

(C).   Who knew no sin. 

2Cr 5:21,“He (God) made Him (Christ) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 

(D).   Who committed no sin. 

1Pe 2:22,“Who (Christ) committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth.” 

(E).   God sent forth His Son. 

Gal 4:4 ,“But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law.” 

1Jo 4:9-10 ,“By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 

1Jo 4:14 ,“We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.” 

1Jo 4:9,“By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.” 

Note: There had been many false prophets who claimed to be sent from God. You can know them by their fruit (deeds). A religion that teaches a man who commits terrorist acts in the name of their god by suicide bombings is assured of heaven with many virgins for him to enjoy sexual pleasure must be an evil religion indeed. 

1Cr 1:30 ,“But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us Wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.” 

Note: Salvation is God’s doing, not human doing. Christ Jesus is Wisdom from God and our Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption. Righteousness is to be justified before God on account of Christ’s righteousness. Sanctification is to be sanctified once and for all by the precious blood of Christ and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. Redemption is to pass from death to life.

Jhn 1:14 ,“And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” 

Note: God became Man in Jesus Christ.   1Ti 3:16 , “By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, was vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” 

Mat 20:28, “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” 

Note: Jesus Christ did not die a victim’s death, but a substitutionary death – the Righteous for the unrighteous. Come in Greek is     erchomai  which means to appear, make one’s appearance, come before the public, to come into being; – it occurs 635 times in the New Testament. 

Come in Chinese is   來  which has an etymological meaning as follows: 

十字架    十   （cross），   人      (man )。 

Jesus was crucified on the cross, there was a little man (thief) on the left and a little man on the right (robber). In the center there was a big Man (Jesus). 

Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross for sinners, this was an invitation of God to man: 

Isa 1:18 ,“Come now, and let us reason together,”  
Says the LORD,  “Though your sins are as scarlet,  
They will be as white as snow;  
Though they are red like crimson,  
They will be like wool.” 

Mat 18:11 ,“For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.” 

Mat 11:28 , “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” 

Jhn 6:37-38 , “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” 

Note: Jesus guarantees, if you come to Him, He will never throw you out. Don’t believe John Calvin, trust Jesus Christ who can save you.

(F).   Jesus made expiation for the sins of the people. 

Hbr 2:17,“Therefore He had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.” 

Note: To make expiation in Greek is hilaskomai which means to make propitiation for, to render propitious, to appease, to expiate, to make reconciliation; – it occurs only 2 times in the New Testament. 

Note: Jesus Christ died on the cross for sinners was to appease God and make reconciliation so that men may get right with God. 

(G).    Jesus saves His people from their sins. 

Mat 1:21 ,“She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” 

IX.   How can we be saved from our sins? 

(A).   Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, took away the sin of the world by dying on the cross. 

Jhn 1:29,“The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” 

Mat 26:28 ,“For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” 

1Jo 2:2 ,“And He is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.” 

1Jo 4:10 ,“In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.” 

Sins cannot be burned away, Jesus died for our sins on the cross.

(B).  God became Man in Jesus Christ to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 

Hbr 9:26,“Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.” 

Note: Sacrifice in Greek is  thysia which means for an offering, offering up oneself, substitute for sacrifice; – it occurs 29 times in the New Testament. 

Rev 1:5 ,“And from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood.” 

Note: The precious blood of Jesus has washed our sins away and freed us from our sins. 

(C).   The Lord does not take into account the sin of those who repent and believe in Jesus Christ. 

Rom 4:8 ,“Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account.” 

Note: When the Lord does not take the sin of the man into account means God counts the man righteous and has forgiven his sins. 

(D).   On our behalf Christ died to sin once for all, He rose again from death for our justification. 

Rom 6:10,“For the death that He (Christ) died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.” 

Rom 6:22 ,“But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.” 

Note: This is the great process of God’s salvation: redemption (crucifixion), salvation (regeneration), sanctification, and glorification – eternal life. 

(E).   The forgiveness of sin. 

Luk 5:24 ,“But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins”–He said to the man who was paralyzed–“I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home.” 

Act 5:31 ,“He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.” 

Note: Forgiveness in Greek is  aphesis  which means pardon of sins (letting them go as if they had never been committed), remission of the penalty; – it occurs 17 times in the New Testament. 

Act 10:43 , “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” 

Act 26:18 ,“To open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.” 

Eph 1:7,“In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” 

2Sa 12:13 ,“Then David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also has taken away your sin; you shall not die.” 

Note: David learned the joy of forgiveness.  

Psa 32:1 , “A Psalm of David. A Maskil. How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!” 

Note: Sin is covered by what? By the precious blood of Jesus Christ. 

Col 1:14 ,“In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” 

(F).   The Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 

1Jo 1:7 ,“But if we walk in the light, as He (Jesus) is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 

Note: To cleanse in Greek  katharizō which means to make clean, to free from defilement of sin and from faults, to free from guilt of sin, to purify; – it occurs about 30 times in the New Testament. 

Zec 13:1 ,“On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.” 

Note: Jesus Christ is the Fountain opened not only for the Jews but for the whole world to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.   A false preacher taught that sin must be burned by fire. No fire can burn out sin. Sin can only be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. 

Do not be fooled: there is no holy river or holy water or anything in the world that can wash away our sins. There is only one thing that can cleanse us from our sins.   1Jo 1:7 ,“But if we walk in the Light as He Himself (Jesus) is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 

(G).   Christ to be sin on our behalf. 

2Cr 5:21,“He (God) made Him (Christ) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 

Note: Christ died for the sins of the world, that was a substitutionary death, not a victim’s death; the Righteous for the unrighteous, so that we become the righteousness of God in Him. In other words, so that God does not count our sins. Our sins are forgiven because the precious blood of the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ) covers and cleanses us from all sins. Righteousness in Greek is  dikaiosynē  which means    the condition acceptable to God, the state of one ought to be, a state approved by God; – it occurs 92 times in the New Testament. Jesus Christ died an expiatory sacrifice for the sins of men attested the grace of God. By grace and through faith in Jesus Christ sinners may obtain an acceptable state that God accounts as righteous. 

(H).   Jesus Christ bore our sins in His body on the cross. 

1Pe 2:24,“And He (Christ) Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.” 

1Pe 3:18 ,“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.” 

Note: Jesus Christ did not die a victim’s death nor martyr’s death, but vicarious or substitutionary death for the unrighteous sinners. 

(I).   Repent and be baptized. 

Act 2:38  ,“And Peter said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” 

Note: Repent in Greek is  metanoeō  which means to change one’s mind, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one’s past sins, to feel sorry for what one has done; – it occurs about 34 times in the New Testament. To repent is to have a change of heart. Turn from sin to God, turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Believe in Jesus Christ is to accept Him as your Lord and Savior. To receive the gift of the Holy Spirit is to receive the eternal life. 

(J).   We have an Advocate with the Father. 

1Jo 1:9  ,“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 

1Jo 2:1,“My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” 

Note: Advocate in Greek is paraklētos  which means one who pleads another’s cause with one, an intercessor; of Christ in His exaltation at God’s right hand, pleading with God the Father for the pardon of our sins; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament.  

(K).   Jesus Christ will appear a second time. 

Hbr 9:28 , “So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.” 

Note: Jesus Christ appeared the first time to save our souls. He died on the cross for our sins, and rose from death for our justification. Jesus Christ will appear a second time to redeem and transform our bodies so that we may reign with Him in heaven for eternity. 

Jesus Christ has authority and power to forgive your sins. 

Jhn 14:1 -3 , “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” 

Jesus Christ is coming again to redeem the bodies of believers and transform them into glorious and spiritual bodies so that they are fit to live in Heaven and the New Jerusalem forever. 

Do you want your sins forgiven? 

Accept and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you will be saved.

This article is written to let you know the good news how a sinner can obtain justification from God free of charge, free of work, free of merit; it is the gift of God to whoever repents of his sins and believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

No man, no exception, can justify himself before God on account of his birth, his class, his color, his race, his background, his merit, his achievement, his nationality, his family, his position, his power, his possession, his title, his intellect, his ancestors, his genealogy, his efforts, his self-worth, etc. There is practically nothing that a man or woman may justify himself/herself before the righteous God.

This article is written to let you know how a sinner can be justified before God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross as a substitute to bear our sins, to obtain the forgiveness of sins and the right to become sons of God and inherit eternal life. This is to answer the old question of a philosopher, Job 25:4,

“How then can a man be just with God?
 Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?”

Humanly speaking, we use “ justification ” for providing a just reason for our action. As an illustration, a corporate employee must “justify” his business expenses in order to get reimbursed. However, there is corporate policy and procedure that an employee must follow in order to justify his business expenses. Not every expense (even business) can be justified. For example, it is not reimbursable for an employee to eat a $100 breakfast. My friend and professor Dr. Harold Koontz once told me about a tycoon that all his personal and private expenses were paid by the company. As the CEO or Chairman of a big firm, a person can have many means to abuse his power. As a standard policy, no personal expenses can be reimbursed. I have audited companies that employees used receipts of purchases from department store and supermarket to submit as their business expenses. One employee even took his wife dresses on a business trip for dry laundry and requested reimbursement. Government uses law or regulation to legitimize and justify its act. The United States used the so-called the  US-Taiwan Relations Act to undermine and violate China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The US-Taiwan Relations Act is itself illegal because it is unconstitutional. It is unconstitutional because the U.S. Constitution does not have jurisdiction over the sovereignty of another nation. It is illegal because it violates the international law. America and Europe no matter what propaganda they extol such as democracy, human rights, freedom, and justice cannot justify their attacks and occupations, sanctions and rob other nations and peoples.

No nation has power to dictate another nation to submit to its aggression and oppression. No law can be used to justify an illegal or unlawful act. No lawmakers can make something illegal legal, unjust just. God has the final say what is right or wrong, good or evil. Terrorists cannot justify themselves in killing people for the cause or defense of their religion. 

To understand the concept of justification, you need first to know God. To know God is based in the Word of God (sola scriptura – Scripture alone); it is based not in human speculation or philosophical principles, but in revelation. Christianity is the revealed religion of Jesus Christ; all other religions are man-made religions. Revelation is the only proper place for faith to begin. Reason can be an aid to faith in that it helps to clarify and organize, but it is always secondary because human reason needs to be enlightened by the Holy Spirit. Reason must always take a back-seat as faith gets hold of the Word of God. Thus revelation of God is seen in the suffering of Christ for sinners (on behalf of humanity) as it is written in the Holy Bible. By faith we understand that   God reveals Himself in Jesus Christ who died for sinners (for humanity’s sin) on the cross. Among the attributes of God is righteousness. God is righteous and He cannot do wrong. Righteousness is in the Lord. Only the righteous God has authority and power to justify sinners. The terms related to justification are justifier and justify, redemption and forgiveness. Christianity unfolds its doctrine and explains how man can be justified before God. The way of salvation is the way of God. Man cannot by any other way to save himself or to be saved. Self-righteous people are stubborn-minded people who are self-conceited. The Word of God makes it clear no one can save himself, and no one can be justified before God by his own merit or good deed. The way of salvation entails redemption, justification, regeneration, sanctification and glorification. The salvation of God is eternal. The redemptive work of Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross is once and for all. God vindicates whom He justifies. God justifies believers by counting them as righteous. The righteousness of God is revealed in Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ only. There is no righteousness except the righteousness of God.  

I.  The Aspects of Salvation. 

Exd 14:13 , “But Moses said to the people: Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.” 

Note: The Hebrew word for salvation is  yĕshuw`ah which means deliverance, aid vouchsafed by God, victory; – it occurs 78 times in the Old Testament. 

Luk 1:77-79 , “To give to His people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, with which the Sunrise from on high will visit us, to shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” 

Note: The Greek word for salvation is sōtēria  which means deliverance, preservation, safety, salvation as the present possession of all true Christians; future salvation, the sum of benefits and blessings which the Christians, redeemed from all earthly ills, will enjoy after the visible return of Christ from heaven in the consummated and eternal Kingdom of God; – it occurs 45 times in the New Testament. Salvation comes from the tender mercy of our God who grants forgiveness of sins to all believers. 

Basically there are five aspect of the salvation of God, namely redemption, justification, regeneration, sanctification and glorification. 

(A).   Redemption. 

Gal 3:13, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree).” 

Note: Those who disobey or violate the law of God are under the curse of the law. The Greek word for redeem is  exagorazō  which means to ransom, buy off, buy up, of Christ freeing the elect from the dominion of the Mosaic Law at the price of His vicarious death; – it occurs 4 times in the New Testament. To be cursed is to be under a curse, which is liable to the appointed penalty of being cursed. Those who sin are under the curse of the law. A believer is saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ who died for sinners. By the substitutionary death of Jesus on the cross (redemption) a believer is redeemed and saved from condemnation. 

Sinners are lost in sins and condemned to eternal punishment, for that reason we need a Redeemer. What did the Redeemer do? Jesus Christ the Redeemer paid for our sins and died on the cross for us, the Righteous for the unrighteous. 

(B).   Justification. 

Rom 3:24-26 , “Being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was  to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” 

Note: The Greek word for justify is  dikaioō which means to render righteous, count as righteous, declare or pronounce one to be just or righteous; – it occurs 40 times in the New Testament. By rising from the dead Jesus had fulfilled the righteousness of God and through the righteousness of Christ a believer is justified or counted righteous before God as if he had never sinned.  The deeds of man no matter how good cannot be counted as righteousness before God. 

(C).   Regeneration. 

Tts 3:5 , “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” 

Note: Salvation is based on God’s mercy. Mercy in Greek is eleos   which means the compassion and clemency of God in providing and offering to men salvation by Christ, that of God’s lovingkindness towards sinners; – it occurs 28 times in the New Testament. Regeneration means born again. The Greek word for regeneration is  paliggenesiawhich means new birth, reproduction, renewal, re-creation; a radical change of mind for the better, the production of a new life consecrated to God; – it occurs only twice in the New Testament. By accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit enters into the believer’s heart and gives him a new life (regeneration) as if he were born again. 

(D).   Sanctification. 

Hbr 10:10 , “By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” 

Hbr 10:14 , “For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.” 

Note: The Greek word for sanctify is hagiazōwhich means to render holy, purify by expiation, be made holy, separate from profane things and dedicate to God; – it occurs 29 times in the New Testament. The Holy Spirit sanctifies the believer by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and the Word of God once and for all (positional sanctification) and the believer becomes a child of God. By continuously living and leading in the heart of the believer, the Holy Spirit sanctifies the believer’s condition (conditional sanctification). The position of a born again believer is perfect before God, but his condition on earth is not. As long as a believe is on earth, his condition is not perfect and needs continuous sanctification by the Holy Spirit. 

(E). Glorification. 

Rom 8:30 , “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” 

Note: The Greek word for predestine isproorizōwhich means to predetermine, decide beforehand, foreordain, appoint beforehand; God decrees from eternity; – it occurs 6 times in the New Testament. 

There was a false teacher called John Calvin. He taught that God divides mankind into two groups: the Elect, who will be saved and go to Heaven; and the Reprobates, or damned, who will spend eternity in Hell. This doctrine is called predestination. Don’t worry, in matter of salvation what God says matters. What false teachers, false prophets and unbelieving theologians say do not matter. This is the Word of God, Jhn 3:16,“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

To be called is to be invited to receive the blessings of the heavenly Kingdom. When Jesus Christ returns to judge the world and reign with the saints, the bodies of the saints will be redeemed and transformed into spiritual, glorious and immortal bodies fit to live in Heaven forever and ever. The Greek word for glorify is doxazō which means to praise, extol, magnify, celebrate; honor, do honor to, hold in honor; make glorious, impart glory to; – it occurs 62 times in the New Testament. Those who glorify God on earth will be glorified by God in Heaven. 

Rom 4:25 , “He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.” 

Note: The Greek word for justification is dikaiōsis which means the act of God declaring men free from guilt and acceptable to Him, abjuring to be righteous; it occurs only twice in the New Testament. 

II.  God Reckoned Abraham as Righteousness. 

Gen 15:6 , “Then he believed in the Lord; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.” 

Note: The Hebrew word for reckon is chashab  which means to think, plan, esteem, consider, make a judgment, count, value, regard, take to be; – it occurs 124 times in the Old Testament. Abraham believed in God and God counted him as righteousness. To be justified is to be counted by God as righteousness. So a man is justified by faith in God. That was the old dispensation. Under the new dispensation, you believe in God and you must also believe in Christ in order to be justified. To be justified is to be counted as righteousness by God in Christ. All who believe in God as Abraham believed will also be justified. 

Psa 32:2 , “How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!” 

Note: The Hebrew word for impute is the same used in  Gen 15:6 as reckon. 

Justification has active and passive meanings: Actively God counts a person (believer) as righteousness. Passively God does not impute iniquity to a man (believer). There is no way a man can justify himself actively or passively. 

Isa 45:25 , “In the Lord all the offspring of Israel will be justified and will glory.” 

Note: The Hebrew word for justify is  tsadaq which means to be just, be righteous, to be put right, make to appear righteous, declare righteous, render innocent; – it occurs 41 times in the Old Testament. The Book of Isaiah is the Gospel of the Old Testament. 

Isa 53:11 , “As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and     be satisfied; by His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities.” 

Note: The prophecy of Isaiah cited above was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. 

The Son of God, the Righteous One, who died on the cross to bear the iniquities of sinners. Christ will justify as many as those who come to Him by faith. 

Isa 61:10,  “I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” 

Note: A sinner is naked and shameful before God. To be justified in figuratively speaking is to be wrapped with a robe of righteousness. 

Jesus Christ is our Righteousness. The righteous will live by faith. 

Zec 3:4 ,  “He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying: Remove the filthy garments from him. Again he said to him: See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes.” 

Note: Our sins are like filthy garments. The Lord takes our iniquity away is like to remove filthy garments from us and clothe us with the robe of righteousness – that is to be justified before God. 

Rom 4:3 ,  “What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 

Jam 2:23，“And the Scripture was fulfilled which says: Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. And he was called the friend of God.” 

Note: To believe in Greek is pisteuō which means to think to be true, to be persuaded of, place confidence in, trust in one’s word; – it occurs 248 times in the New Testament. To believe God is to trust His Word. We can learn a lot from the father of all who believed in God.

III. The Meanings of Justification. 

Justification actively denotes “the act of pronouncing righteous, justification, acquittal;” its precise meaning is determined by that of the verb dikaioo, “to justify” which means “to count as righteous”, it is used 8 times in Galatians. In  Rom 4:25   the phrase “for our justification,” or “because of our justification” means all that was necessary on God’s part for our “justification” had been effected and completed in the death of Christ. On this account or for this reason He was raised from the dead. The propitiation being perfect and complete, His resurrection was the confirmation. In  Rom 5:18 ,“justification of life” means “justification which results in life.” That God “justifies” the believing sinner on the ground of Christ’s substitutionary death, involves His free gift of life. 

Martin Luther (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German priest, professor of theology who was the leader of the Protestant Reformation. Luther strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God’s punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He condemned sale of indulgence by the Roman Catholic Church with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. Luther refused to retract all of his writings by his famous statement, “ Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me. ” Luther discovered that the Bible teaches salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ as our Redeemer from sin. Luther did not start a new church; he brought the Church back to the Bible. So Protestantism is not a new religion, it was as old as the teachings of Christ and the Apostles, long before the existence of the Roman Catholic Church. In my opinion, Martin Luther (do not confuse with a black man who adopted his name) was the greatest man ever lived outside of the Bible. No one should compare himself with the great persons in the Bible. It is stupid and wrong for a preacher to claim that he has preached to more people than Apostle Paul. 

Justification passively means not coming into judgment. 

Jhn 5:24 ,  “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” 

Note: The Greek word for judgment is  krisis which means sentence of condemnation, condemnation and punishment; – it occurs 48 times in the New Testament. Jesus defines justification as not coming into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Those who believe in Christ will not come into judgment but receive eternal life. To be justified is not coming into judgment. Those who have been justified will not be condemned or come into judgment. To be justified is a part of the process to be saved. To be saved is to have eternal life and have passed out of death into life. 

IV.  How Does Justification Work. 

Question: How justification is done?    

Rom 5:16 ,  “The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.” 

Salvation is the free gift of God, no one deserves it, but everyone who repents of his sins and believes in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior can be saved. You are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. 

Rom 5:18,  “So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.” 

Note: Justification is a gift of God which results in forgiveness of sins, free from condemnation by the righteous act of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ establishes a believer as just by acquittal from guilt. 

(A).  God is the Justifier. 

Rom 3:26 ,  “For the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the Justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” 

Gal 3:8 ,  “And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying: In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 

Note: It is not man, it is not Mary, it is not apostle, it is not the church, and it is not human institution; it is God who is the Justifier. A man is not justified in the sight of man, not even in the sight of the church, but in the sight of God. God promises to justify anyone who has faith in Jesus Christ. God has power to do what He has promised. God is faithful and keeps His promise. 

(B). Apart from the Law. 

Rom 3:21 ,  “But now apart from the Law the     righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets.” 

Rom 3:28 ,  “For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.” 

Note: The Greek word apart is  chōris which means separate, without, besides, aside, outside, other than; – it occurs 39 times in the New Testament. The righteousness of God has been manifested apart from (outside) the Law. The righteousness of God has been witnessed by the Law and the Prophets. A man is not justified by hearing of the law, but by doing of the law. Since no one is able to keep all the laws to fulfill the righteousness of God, so justification is offered by God apart from the law. 

God interacts with mankind in two fundamental ways – the law and grace. The law comes to humanity as the commands of God – such as the Ten Commandments as represented by Moses. The law put community to order so that it can exist and survive but convicts us of our sinfulness. All human being has some grasp of the law through the conscience. The law convicts us our sin and drives us to grace proclaimed in the Gospel, but the law is not God’s avenue for salvation. Grace comes through Jesus Christ. Grace is God’s favor to undeserved mankind. 

Rom 3:23-26 ,  “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was  to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” 

Note:   Grace is free gift of God through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Grace demonstrates God’s righteousness so that He justifies anyone who has faith in Jesus. 

(C).  Apart from works. 

Rom 4:5-6,  “However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works.” 

Note: The Greek word for work is ergonwhich means an act, deed, thing done, doing, labor, action; – it occurs 176 times in the New Testament. There are two ways a man may obtain the righteousness of God: one is by observing the law, the other is through the righteousness that comes by faith in Christ. Since man fails to keep the law, the law brings wrath. The righteousness of God cannot be obtained by the works or deeds of man. No good deeds of man can earn justification from God. 

(D). Freed from all things. 

Act 13:39 ,  “And through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.” 

Note: The Greek word for free is dikaioōwhich means to declare or pronounce one to be just, righteous; – it occurs 40 times in the New Testament. Jesus Christ set believers free from all things which could not be justified through the Law of Moses. 

(E).  Revealed from faith to faith. 

Rom 1:16-17 ,  “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” 

Note: Revealed from faith to faith means the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, from start to finish, apart from the law and apart from the works of man. 

Rom 10:10,  “For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved.” 

Note: On God’s side redemption is a gift by grace and redemption through Jesus Christ. On human side, justification is accomplished by believing and confession. Believe in Greek is pisteuō which means to think to be true, place confidence in, trust in Jesus; – it occurs about 248 times in the New Testament. Confess in Greek is  homologeō    which means to agree with, say the same thing, admit or declare, profess; – it occurs about 24 times in the New Testament. A Christian believes with his heart and confesses with his lips that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior. 

Gal 2:16 , “Nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.” 

Note: No one can be justified by the works of the Law or his own merit. All man-made religions teach you must do good to earn your merit. The revealed religion teaches man is justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. No man is good enough to deserve salvation or heaven. If sinful man could be justified by any other means, it would have no need of the Word of His grace, nor consequently of faith. 

(F).  Through the redemption of Christ. 

Rom 3:24 ,  “Being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” 

Note: Justification is a gift by God’s grace through the redemption of Jesus Christ. Gift in Greek is dōrea   which means a present, something free; – it occurs about 11 times in the New Testament. Grace in Greek is  charis which means unmerited favor, loving-kindness, mercy which God bestows upon one who does not deserve; – it occurs about 156 times in the New Testament. Redemption in Greek is  apolytrōsis which means a releasing effected by payment of ransom, liberation procured by the payment of a ransom, deliverance; – it occurs only 10 times in the New Testament. Redemption is deliverance effected through the death of Christ on the cross for sinners from the retributive wrath of the Holy God and the penalty of sin. The redemption is only in Christ because Jesus died on the cross for sinners. Justification is a gift by God’s grace through the work of Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world. Redemption means to offset or compensate for our sins, Jesus Christ died on the cross for us; the Righteous for the unrighteous, the Sinless for the sinful, in order to pay the ransom so that we may obtain the forgiveness of sins; and to receive the righteousness of God as a gift to be justified before God. To be justified before God means God counts believers as if they had never sinned and by grace receive the righteousness of God in Christ.

Rom 4:24-25,  “But also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness–for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” 

Rom 5:19 ,  “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” 

Note: Christ’s obedience was to die for sinners on the cross. The redemption of Christ was accomplished by the Righteous dying for the unrighteous. 

(G). A propitiation in His blood through faith. 

Rom 3:25 ,  “Whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed.” 

Note: The Greek word for propitiation is hilastērionwhich means a means of appeasing or expiating, relating to an appeasing or expiating, having placating or expiating force to receive pardon; – it occurs only twice in the New Testament. The result of propitiation is forgiveness of sins. 

(H). Justified by His blood. 

Rom 5:9 ,  “Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” 

Rom 5:18 ,  “Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.” 

Note: Sin brings condemnation. The blood of Christ wins justification by washing away the sins. By the precious blood of Jesus we obtain forgiveness of sins. This means by the sacrifice of Jesus Himself on the cross for our sins we obtain mercy and forgiveness for our sins. Those who are forgiven will not face the wrath of God. 

Question: Why justified by His blood? 

Mat 26:28 ,  “For this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.” 

Note: Jesus Christ has a covenant with His believers, for His blood was poured out for forgiveness of their sins. Covenant in Greek is  diathēkē which means a compact, a testament; – it occurs 33 times in the New Testament. The word covenant is used to mean the close relationship Christ entered with His believers. By shedding of Christ’s blood the new covenant was established. Christian salvation is the fulfillment of the divine promise annexed to the covenant. Christians rely on God’s faithfulness and with the assurance of God’s covenant. 

Hbr 9:22,  “Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” 

Note: Purify in Greek is  katharizō which means to make clean, cleanse, free from defilement of sin and from faults, free from guilt of sin; – it occurs about 30 times in the New Testament. The sins of believers are forgiven because Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross for us. Sinners who repent are cleansed by the blood of Christ. 

Eph 1:7 , “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” 

Note: We have redemption and the forgiveness of our trespasses through the blood of Christ. Christ paid a price of His life in order to redeem us from our sins. A false teacher taught that sin can be burned away by fire. No, our sins can only be redeemed through the blood of Jesus, the Righteous for the unrighteous. 

Eph 2:13 ,  “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.” 

Note: Sinners are separated from God and do not dare to approach God. The blood of Christ has brought believers near to God. 

Col 1:20 ,  “And through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.” 

Note: By the blood of His cross, believers are reconciled with God and made peace with God. 

Hbr 9:14 ,  “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.” 

Note: The blood of Christ through the eternal Spirit purifies our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. 

Hbr 10:19 ,  “Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus.” 

Note: By the blood of Jesus we have confidence to come to the throne of God for mercy. 

Hbr 13:12 ,  “So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through His own blood.” 

Note: The blood of Christ sanctifies Christians. 

1Jo 1:7 ,  “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 

Note: The blood of Jesus secured our salvation on the cross once and for all. While still living on earth believers need the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from all sin as often as needed. 

Rev 12:11 ,  “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” 

Note: Finally, believers will conquer Satan by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of God. 

(I). Bought with a price. 

1Cr 6:20 ,  “You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 

Note: The Greek word for buy is agorazōwhich means to purchase, redeem; – it occurs 31 times in the New Testament. Price in Greek is  timē  which means a valuing by which the price is fixed, a sum paid; – it occurs 43 times in the New Testament. In ancient time a slave was bought with a price, so we are bought as slaves of God. 

Gal 3:13 ,  “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.” 

Note: The death of Christ was a ransom for our sins.  For a believer to receive the righteousness of God, Jesus Christ paid a price, the price of His blood and death on the cross.

(J). To be sin on our behalf. 

2Cr 5:21,  “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 

Note: On our behalf means for our sake. For our sake Jesus Christ bore our sins on the cross. Because the Righteous died for the unrighteous, so all believers might become the righteousness of God in Christ. 

Isa 64:6 ,  “But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” 

Note: All human righteousness is like filthy rags. 

(K). Justified by His grace. 

Tts 3:7 ,  “That having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” 

Eph 2:5 ,  “Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” 

Eph 2:8 , “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” 

Note: The Greek word for grace is chariswhich means favor, good will, loving-kindness, the merciful kindness of God; – it occurs 156 times in the New Testament. Grace is God’s favor which man does not deserve. Those who are justified by His grace are also saved by grace. To be saved by grace means it does not depend on your good deeds or merit. It is grace because it is the gift of God. It is the gift of God because it is free. You cannot earn or buy salvation of God. Those who are justified become heirs of God to have eternal life. 

(L). Through faith in Jesus Christ. 

Rom 3:22 ,  “Even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction.” 

Rom 3:30 ,  “Since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.” 

Rom 9:30 , “What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith.” 

Gal 2:16 , “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” 

Gal 3:11 , “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 

Note: Faith in Greek is pistiswhich means a conviction or belief respecting God’s salvation and divine things, belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence) whether in God or in Christ; – it occurs 244 times in the New Testament. Faith is simply taking God at His word; believing in whatever God says. Faith is a strong belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the Kingdom of God. To be justified by faith in Christ means to obtain the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ. To live by faith means to walk in the footsteps of the faith, through faith in Jesus Christ. 

(M). The free gift of God. 

Rom 5:16-17,  “And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” 

All religions teach you have to work to earn your salvation, what they call merit. Some even worse that demands you have to buy it with money or offering gifts and presents. Christianity teaches salvation is the free gift of God.

Rom 6:23 ,  “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

Note: The Greek word for gift is charisma which means a favor with which one receives without any merit of his own, the gift of divine grace by which the pardon of sin and eternal salvation is awarded to sinners in consideration of the merits of Christ laid hold of by faith; – it occurs 17 times in the New Testament. 

(N). Justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

1Cr 6:11,  “And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” 

Note: To have the righteousness of Christ is not to have your own righteousness. Sinners do not have righteousness. Sinners deceive themselves thinking they have righteousness. In the name of the Lord means in the authority and power of the Lord. There is no other name under Heaven whereby we can be saved. 

Those who have been washed by the blood of Christ are justified in the name of Christ and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.  

(0).  Christ the Mediator. 

1Ti 2:5-6 ,  “For there is one God, and one Mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.” 

Note: Mediator in Greek is mesitēswhich means one who intervenes between two, a medium of communication, arbitrator; – it occurs only 6 times in the New Testament. Jesus Christ is the Mediator between God and men, not Mary, not pope, not apostles, not saints, not angels, not anyone. Mary, pope, apostle, saint, angel, church, etc. cannot intervene for you; it is wrong to pray to them for help. 

V.  The Results of Justification. 

(A). Transgressions are forgiven. 

Rom 4:7-8 ,  “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.” 

Note: The Greek word for transgression is  anomiawhich means the condition of without law, contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness, unrighteousness, evil deed; – it occurs 15 times in the New Testament. Only God can forgive our transgressions. When sins are covered so as they are not come to view, that means they are pardoned. No one can cover up his sins. Only God is able to cover sins. 

(B).  Set free from sin. 

Rom 6:22 ,  “But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.” 

Note: Sinners are slaves of sin. Jesus Christ sets believers free from slaves of sin to become slaves of God. 

(C). No condemnation. 

Rom 8:1 , “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” 

2Cr 5:19, “Namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. “

Note: The whole world is condemned including president, prime minister, politician, pimp and prostitute. Saved believers are not condemned. No condemnation means not counting their trespasses against them. If God counts you righteous, then there is no condemnation. God counts you righteous when you repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

(D). Have peace with God. 

Rom 5:1 ,  “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

Note: Sinners are enemies of God. Sinners do not have peace with God. When a sinner is justified by faith in Christ, he has peace with God. Those who have been justified by faith also have peace with God. Christians who have peace with God also have peace with men. A warmonger is not a Christian, an aggressor is not a child of God. 

(E).  Received the reconciliation. 

Rom 5:11 ,  “And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.” 

Note: The Greek word for reconciliation is katallagē  which means restoration to favor, atonement, restoration of the favor of God to sinners that repent and put their trust in the expiatory death of Christ; – it occurs 4 times in the New Testament. 

(F). Become Children of God. 

Rom 8:16 ,  “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” 

Note: To become children of God is the highest honor, for children of God are higher than angels. 

Hbr 11:4 ,  “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.” 

Gal 3:26 , “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.” 

Note: In heaven there will be no gender, that is why believers are all sons of God. 

(G). Heir of righteousness. 

Hbr 11:7 ,  “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” 

Note: The Greek word for heir is  klēronomos which means one who receives his allotted possession by right of sonship, one who has acquired or obtained the portion allotted to him; – it occurs 15 times in the New Testament. 

(H).  Heirs of God. 

Rom 8:17 , “And if children, then heirs–heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.” 

Note: Humanly speaking if you are an heir of somebody, that person has to die before you can inherit what is given to you. As heirs of God we inherit what God has prepared for His children and be with our heavenly Father forever and ever. God never dies for He is eternal. 

(I).  Will not be put to shame. 

Rom 9:33 ,  “As it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 

Note: The Greek word to be put to shame is kataischynōwhich means to dishonor, disgrace; to be ashamed, blush with shame; – it occurs 13 times in the New Testament. Ultimately Christians will not be put to shame because they will not be disappointed, but to receive glory and honor to reign with Jesus Christ.  When Jesus Christ returns to reign with the saints, they will glorify with Christ. 

(J).  Will be saved. 

Rom 10:9 ,  “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” 

Gal 2:20 ,  “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” 

Note: The wonder of God’s salvation is that Jesus Christ died for me, not just for others. A person is judged righteous before God because of the redemptive works of Christ. Salvation comes to humanity through the Gospel. Salvation comes to humanity through the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ. The Good News is that righteousness is not a demand upon the sinner but a gift to the sinner. The sinner simply accepts the gift of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is not achieved but rather received. No one is good enough to deserve Heaven. 

(K).  Christ lives within. 

Gal 2:20 ,  “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” 

Note: Through the Holy Spirit, Christ lives within believers until the end of the world. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ, you do not belong to Christ. The Spirit of Christ in you is the seal or proof of your salvation. 

(L).  Live by faith. 

Gal 3:11,  “Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for the just shall live by faith.” 

Note: Justification is bestowed by God rather than achieved. Justification is not based on human righteousness, but on God’s righteousness—revealed and confirmed in Christ who is the righteousness of God. Christians live by faith in Christ. 

(M).  United with the Lord. 

1Cr 6:17 ,  “But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.” 

Note: The Greek word for unite is kollaō  which means to join one’s self to, cleave to, glue together; – it occurs 11 times in the New Testament. The Spirit of Christ is in believers. 

(N).  All one in Christ. 

Gal 3:28 ,  “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” 

Note: There is no race discrimination. There is no gender discrimination. There is no class discrimination. All believers are one in Christ Jesus irrespective of race, color, nationality, background, and economic social status. Neither male nor female, the saved  are children of God.

(O).  Will be delivered from the bondage of corruption. 

Rom 8:21 ,  “Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” 

Rom 8:23 , “Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.” 

Note: The Greek word for deliver is eleutheroō which means to set free, make free, set at liberty; – it occurs 7 times in the New Testament. 

Sin is the bondage of corruption. Absent the perspective of God and the righteousness of Christ, based on one’s own merit—a Christian still looks like a sinner as long as he has an earthly body. So the last step of salvation is the redemption of the body. The corruptible will be swallowed up by the incorruptible – the Christian will receive a spiritual and glorious body fit for heaven and eternity. 

Such is the marvelous Gospel of Jesus Christ. Though you are a sinner (we are all sinners), you can be justified by grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior. All you need to do is believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and confess with your mouth that He is your Lord and Savior. Now is the day of salvation, now is the accepted time. Would you come to Christ now no matter who you are and where you are?  

Just make the following prayer: 

“Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I cannot save myself. I trust in You who have accomplished the salvation on the cross for me. Please save me from sin, death, and judgment. Now I ask your Holy Spirit to come into my heart and give me a new life. Amen.”

This article is written to let you know, to let mankind know, that the Merciful God has grace for sinners. If God is only Righteous, then there would be no hope for mankind. Grace is unmerited favor of God to undeserved and unworthy sinners, that the salvation of God is a gift to all who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of the world.

Christianity is neither superstition nor science. Superstition is based on false and unfounded beliefs and fears. Science is limited by human and empirical and tentative knowledge at a time and place. Christianity is the Revealed religion. Only God makes revelation of the ultimate truth and wisdom. Revelation cannot be achieved by human discovery or wisdom. Christianity is the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was God who became Man to reveal God and spiritual things to human beings.   The Word of God reveals that sinners do not deserve anything but death. Sinners need the grace of God. 

1.  God gives grace. 

Gen 6:8,“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” 

Note: Grace in Hebrew is chenwhich means unmerited favor, acceptance, good-will; – it occurs about 69 times in the Old Testament. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord not because he deserved something, but because God did him a favor. The word “grace” occurs 170 times in the King James Version.  It is correct to understand grace as Divine favor. Man may do you a favor, only God gives grace.

Psa 84:11 ,“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” 

Note:  The Lord gives good things to His children. The Lord God is our Sun means God is our Light. The Lord God is our Shield mean God is our Protection. The Lord gives grace and glory, this is too wonderful to believe. The Lord gives grace means sinners may be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord gives glory means the children of God who suffer for Christ and for the Gospel will glory with Jesus when He returns to judge the world and reign with the saints. For worldly people, good things mean material and earthly things. 

The Chinese call them:  荣华富贵（glory, prosperity, wealth, dignity). The prevailing values of the West are money, power and sex. It is also called the American dream. Grace and glory are good things.  

Pro 18:22 ,  “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.” It is not difficult to find a wife, but a good wife is certainly a good thing. 

Luk 10:42 ,“But only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Man has a choice. Your choice will determine you destiny. Mary chose to listen to the Word of Christ which shall not be taken away from her. All earthly and material things will be taken away. Money, power and sex will pass away. It is wise to give up what is temporary to lay hold of what is eternal. 

Question:    What does the grace of God do? 

Eph 2:5 ,“Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” 

Note: Grace in Greek is  charis which means favor, God’s unmerited favor, loving-kindness, benefit, bounty; of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, hope, love, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues; God’s mercy bestowed upon unworthy sinner; – it occurs 156 times in the New Testament. All human beings are dead in sins spiritually. Men cannot save themselves. Sinners are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior. Some one was right, “The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us.”

John Bunyan had well said, ” Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ’s righteousness; it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us; it can help us when we are down; it can heal us when we are wounded; it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions. 

The law condemns the best of us; but grace saves the worst of us. Joseph Prince

Rom 3:24 ,“They are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” 

Note: Redemption in Greek is apolytrōsis  which means deliverance,  liberation procured by the payment of a ransom, a releasing effected by payment of ransom; – it occurs only 10 times in the New Testament. Redemption is deliverance effected through the death of Christ from the retributive wrath of the holy God and the penalty of sin. When redemption is applicable to you personally it becomes salvation. Salvation is a gift of God to mankind by grace, but it was paid by the redemption of Christ through sacrificing His life and shedding His precious blood on the cross. There is no such a thing called royal blood, all human blood is the same sinful blood. Only the blood of Jesus is precious because He is sinless and holy and His blood as a ransom for mankind was acceptable to God. 

Act 20:32 ,“And now I commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 

Note: Build up in Greek is epoikodomeōwhich means to finish the structure of which the foundation has been laid; give constant increase in the knowledge and in a life conformed thereto; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. To have fellowship with Christ and to feed on the Word of His grace is to grow in spiritual life. All who have been saved are sanctified by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit leads believers into all truth. 

Rom 12:6 ,“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.” 

Note: Once a believer is saved and sanctified, he is equipped to serve the Lord. Christians serve the Lord according to the grace that is given and live for the Lord on earth. So Christians have the saving grace, the serving grace and the living grace. 

2.  Moses prayed for God’s grace to pardon Israelites. 

Exd 34:9 ,“Then he said: If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.” 

Note: Stiff-necked means stubborn and disobedient which characterizes humanity. Pardon in Hebrew is calach  which means to forgive, spare, show mercy; – it occurs about 46 times in the Old Testament. Iniquity in Hebrew is  `avonwhich means perversity,   depravity, guilt; – it occurs 230 times in the Old Testament. Sin in Hebrew is chatta’ath which means a misstep, slip with the foot, sinfulness, penalty of sin; – it occurs about 296 times in the Old Testament. There is nothing that man can do to redeem ourselves from our iniquity and our sin, the only thing we can do is to pray for God’s grace to pardon us. God’s pardon is not based on merit, but based on grace. Sinners obtain forgiveness of sins, not because they deserve anything, but because the grace of God was given to believers. 

Tts 2:11 , “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” 

The salvation of God is for all men, no difference of race, gender, color or class; but only those who repent of their sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and  Savior will be saved. 

3.  God gives grace to the humble. 

Jam 4:6 ,“But He (God) gives more grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Grace in Greek is chariswhich means good will, loving-kindness, unmerited favor, the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues; – it occurs about 156 times in the New Testament. Grace presents the favor, and goodness of God to man, and thus, of necessity, of the worthy to the unworthy, of the holy to the sinful. Grace signifies the entire and absolute freeness of the lovingkindness of God to men. Proud in Greek is hyperēphanos  which means showing one’s self above others, overtopping, conspicuous above others, pre-eminent; with an overweening estimate of one’s means or merits, despising others or even treating them with contempt; haughty; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. The rich and powerful people are usually proud, but supremacists are the most arrogant. Resist in Greek is  antitassōwhich means to range in battle against, oppose; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. God opposes the proud and arrogant people. Humble in Greek is  tapeinos which means not rising far from the ground, lowly, lowly in spirit; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. This is truth of stark contrast: God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. White supremacists are probably the most arrogant and haughty people in the world. However, when black in power becomes rich, he could be worse than a white supremacist. 

1Pe 5:5 ，“Young men, in the same way be submissive to the elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Clothes are something we wear in the outside. To clothe yourself with humility means to put on humility to show your subjection one to another. Humility is not what you say, it is what you show. 

Pro 3:34 ,“Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble.” 

Note: Scorn in Hebrew is luwts which means to mock, deride, scoff; – it occurs about 27 times in the Old Testament. God mocks at the mocker. God scorns the scorner. God derides the derider. 

1Cr 1:4 ，“I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus.” 

Note: Sinful men do not deserve the grace of God and have no access to the holy God. Jesus Christ reconciled sinners to God by His substitutionary death. So in fact the grace of God was given to believers by Christ Jesus. 

4.  Christ is full of grace and truth. 

Jhn 1:14 , “And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” 

Note: The Old Testament stands for Law, only in the New Testament the grace of God makes it full. The word “grace” used in  Jhn 1:14  is the same original word used in  Jam 4:6 . The depth and the riches of meaning of grace which can be better understood in the view of the glory of the only begotten Son from the Father, became flesh and lived humbly among men. The manger, not palace, points to the grace of God.   Luk 2:15 , “So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another: Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 

The angel brought the good news of great joy to the poor shepherds, not king or queen, prime minister of president. The Gospel is preached to the poor because the rich and powerful are hard to enter the Kingdom of God.  The dual prominent attributes of Christ are grace and truth. Grace because the Savior is the gift of God to mankind, truth because Jesus Christ is the truth about God.  Just as God is full of compassion and mercy, so Christ is full of grace and truth. Christ is full of grace because He died for our sins. Christ is full of truth because He reveals God and all who come to Him will receive the eternal life. 

5.  Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 

Jhn 1:17 , “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” 

Note: Law in Greek is  nomos which means the rule of action approved by God, the Mosaic law, a command of God; – it occurs about 197 times in the New Testament. God gave the law to Moses for Jewish people. The law does not save anyone. The law tells you what sin is.  The Law does not save anyone.

Rom 3:20 , “Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” The knowledge of sin comes from the law.  Rom 7:7 , “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said: You shall not covet.”   

No one is saved by the law. Knowledge of sin does not save.  

Rom 7:14 , “For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.”  Rom 8:3-4, “For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” 

Grace came by Jesus Christ means what sinful man cannot do required by the law, Jesus Christ came and died for the unrighteous to fulfill the righteous requirement of the law so that all who repent and believe in the Lord and Savior may receive forgiveness of sins and the eternal life. Truth came by Jesus Christ means sinners can be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ who is the truth of God. 

This is the most important message to you. You do not have to go to Hell for eternal sufferings.  You can be saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world, who died on the cross for sinners. By the power of God Jesus Christ rose from the dead and He is able to save all who come to Him. The salvation of God is free, it is the gift of God.

6.  The Gospel is the Word of God’s grace. 

Act 14:3 , “Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.” 

Note: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Word of God’s grace. The Word of God’s grace says salvation is a gift of God given freely to whoever repents and believes in Jesus Christ. 

7.  Believers are justified freely by God’s grace. 

Rom 3:24-26, “Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” 

Note: Justify in Greek is dikaioō  which means to render righteous,    declare, pronounce one to be just or righteous; count as righteous; – it occurs about 40 times in the New Testament. To be justified means to receive the gift of righteousness or to be counted as righteous. 

Grace is not based on work or merit, for it is free. Freely in Greek is dōreanwhich means undeservedly, for naught, for nothing, as a gift, gratuitously; – it occurs only 9 times in the New Testament. Although salvation is free, but Jesus Christ paid by His life and precious blood to redeem sinners. All religions teach that you are to be saved by your good deeds. The Gospel of God offers you salvation freely by grace without work or deed of merit. For grace is the free gift of God.  Rom 4:4 ,“Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as what is due.” 

8.  We are saved by grace. 

Act 15:11 , “But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they are also.” 

Eph 2:5 , “Even when we were dead in our sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).” 

Note: Dead in sins is spiritual death, although a person who is dead in sin may be talking and eating.

Tts 2:11 , “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” 

Note: So do not believe John Calvin who was a false teacher who taught the salvation is for some. The Holy Scriptures say God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. All men who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ can be saved. This is good news. Jesus guarantees anyone who comes to Him will not be rejected or kicked out.

Save in Greek is sōzō which means to rescue from danger or destruction, save from the punitive wrath of God at the judgment of the last day, make one a partaker of the salvation by Christ; – it occurs about 110 times in the New Testament. Salvation in Greek is sōtērios    which means passing from death into life; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. Salvation has two phases: now and future. When you repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit enters into your heart and you are born again – that is the salvation of your soul which begins now.  

Jhn 5:24 , “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”  To be saved is passing from death into life. 

Rom 8:23 , “Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.”  When Jesus Christ returns, your body shall be redeemed and transformed into a spiritual and glorious body – that is the future salvation.  No one can be saved by work or merit because man’s work is not good enough in the sight of God. What man cannot do, the grace of God brings salvation. Therefore, whoever believes in Jesus Christ shall be saved by grace. 

9.  We are saved by grace through faith. 

Eph 2:8 , “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” 

Note: Gift in Greek is dōronnwhich means a present, what God offers which is free; – it occurs about 19 times in the New Testament.   Salvation is the gift of God. The gift of God is by grace. No one can earn or merit salvation. The only way of salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The way of salvation is the way of God. 

Question: What does this salvation entail? 

2Th 2:16 , “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace.” 

Note: Consolation in Greek is  paraklēsis which means comfort, solace, the Messianic salvation; – it occurs about 29 times in the New Testament. The saved souls have eternal consolation because God’s salvation is eternal. 

Tts 3:7, “So that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” 

Note: Heir in Greek is klēronomoswhich means one who receives an inheritance, one who receives his allotted possession by right of sonship; – it occurs about 15 times in the New Testament. Christians, as exalted by faith to the dignity of the sons of God, and hence receive the blessings of God’s kingdom.   Jhn 1:12 ,“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” The right to become children of God is infinitely better than human rights, civil rights, legal rights, political rights, etc. 

In the early Church there was a great debate at Antioch as to what Gentile （non-Jewish ) Christians should do because some false teachers came down from Judea and taught Gentile Christians must be circumcised according to the custom of Moses or they would not be saved. Paul and Barnabas went up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue. A sect of the Pharisees said it was necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses. The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter. The first council in Jerusalem took place to settle the matter. Peter stood up and said,  Act 15:10-11, “Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.” 

Note: There is no distinction as to how a Jewish or Gentile believer is saved. We are all saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  

Eph 2:8 , “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” However, there is a distinction as to how a Jewish Christian or a Gentile Christian should conduct himself. 

James said,  

Act 15:19– 20,“Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.” 

The apostles and the brethren who were elders sent a letter to Gentile Christians saying,  

Act 15:25-29, “It seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth.  For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell.” At that time, the Apostles and Elders proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ by word of mouth. The New Testament was not written yet. The Apostles made it clear Gentile Christians do not need to be circumcised or keep the Sabbath. The ceremonial Law of Moses was no longer required, but the moral law as repeated in the New Testament remains. However, the essentials for all believers whether Jewish or Gentile to observe are to  abstain from: 

1.   eating things sacrificed to idols and worshiping of idols 

2.   eating blood 

3.   eating meat of strangled animals 

4.   fornication 

Christians must be free from eating blood, free from eating food sacrificed to idols and worship of idols, free from eating food from strangled animals, and free from committing sexual immorality (including homosexuality and divorce). In other words, Christians are forbidden to eat blood, food sacrificed to idols or worship of idols, food from strangled animals, and fornication. Chinese Christians must pay particular attention because the Chinese custom of eating blood, worshiping ancestors and idols, and eating food sacrificed to idols. The Taiwanese politicians who claim to be Christians had publicly committed idolatry by worshiping idols, I do not know whether they have stopped doing it or not. No one has the right to claim to be a Christian and worship idols at the same time just like no woman has the right to marry two men at the same time. Worshiping idols is a great sin against the living God. The Taiwanese politicians must come clean: if you claim to be a Christian, you cannot worship idols. If you want to worship idols, then do not claim to be a Christian. That is fair. That is religious freedom. There is no hangky-pangky in being a Christian. 

 10.  Grace provides access to God. 

Rom 5:2 , “Through Him (Christ) we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” 

Note: Access in Greek is prosagōgē  which means approach,  that relationship with God whereby we are acceptable to Him and have assurance that He is favorably disposed towards us; – it occurs only 3 times in the New Testament. Because of this grace we have access to God anytime and anywhere. We do not need to go to a church to have access to God. In Jesus name we may boldly come to God’s throne of mercy to obtain help. All man-made religions have designated places their followers can pray to their gods. Christians have access to God anywhere and anytime. 

11.  The dispensation of grace. 

Eph 3:2-7,“If indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.” 

Note: Dispensation in Greek is oikonomia which means the management, oversight, administration; stewardship; God’s providing for man’s salvation; – it occurs only 7 times in the New Testament.  Roughly speaking, there are two dispensations: law (represented by the Old Testament – Moses) and grace (represented by the New Testament – Jesus). We now live in the dispensation of the grace of God. This is the good news that whoever repents and believes in Jesus Christ may obtain forgiveness of sins and receive the eternal life. Revelation in Greek is apokalypsis  which means a disclosure of truth, instruction; laying bare of things unknown before; unveiling, uncovering; – it occurs about 18 times in the New Testament. The mystery of God is revealed by the Spirit in Christ, to know Jesus Christ is to know God. The mystery of the Gospel of grace is revealed, not only to Jews, but Gentiles also; everyone no matter what race or class may inherit the Kingdom of God through faith in Jesus Christ. What man cannot do regarding the requirements of the law, Jesus Christ has fulfilled them and grants the righteousness of God to believers. A believer is counted as righteous because of the righteousness of Christ, that is the meaning of grace. Now is the dispensation of grace whereby you may repent and believe and be saved.

12.  Christians are under grace. 

Rom 6:14, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” 

Note: Have dominion over in Greek iskyrieuō which means to be lord of, to rule, exercise influence upon, have power over; – it occurs only 7 times in the New Testament. Under in Greek is hypo which means to be subject to the power of; – it occurs about 230 times in the New Testament. Christians are under grace because they are under Christ, under the power of Christ. 

13.  The Word of His grace builds up believers. 

Act 20:32, “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” 

Note: Build up in Greek is epoikodomeō which means to finish the structure of which the foundation has been laid, give constant increase in Christian knowledge and in a life conformed thereto; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament.  The Word of God’s grace is able to build up believers, not by the teaching of anyone or any institution or any church. The Christian life is built on the Word of God. To build on the Word of God is to build upon the Rock. To build on the teachings or traditions of men is to build on the sand. The Word of God is truth. The Word of God sanctifies believers. The ideologies and strange doctrines of men lead people astray. 

14.  Believers are to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord. 

2Pe 3:18, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 

Note: Grow in Greek is auxanō which means to increase, become greater; – it occurs 22 times in the New Testament. Grace means the favor of God or of Christ, to which all blessings especially spiritual are due. To grow in grace and knowledge implies a progressive process. A babe in Christ needs to feed on the milk of God’s Word in order to grow. 

Hbr 5:13 , “For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.” 

Note: A babe in Christ is unskilled in the Word of righteousness. The skills needed in the world may enable you to earn a living, but to be skilled in the Word of righteousness has earthly and heavenly benefits. 

1Pe 2:2 , “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby.” 

1Cr 3:2-3, “I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” 

Note: A carnal believer is a babe. Envy, strife, and divisions are manifestations of the carnal. Denominations are divisions. There are many divisions among believers because they are carnal. 

15.  The grace of God was upon Him. 

Luk 2:40 , “And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.” 

Note: Grow in Greek is auxanō  which means to increase development of infant, augment, become greater to attainment; – it occurs about 22 times in the New Testament. Spirit in Greek is pneuma which means    the rational spirit, the power by which the human being feels, thinks, decides; – it occurs about 385 times in the New Testament. 

To become strong in spirit is to have pleasant personality and strong character. The spirit is the highest and noblest part of man.  This Scripture provides the model of child development. A child needs to grow physically, spiritually, morally and intellectually, and socially. You can see clearly if a child has the grace of God upon him or her. There is nothing more heartbreaking than to watch a stupid child in temper tantrum. Due to one-child policy in China, there are so many stupid and permissive parents who are bringing up spoiled children. There are also oppressive parents in many societies. Good parents are neither permissive nor oppressive. A tiger mother is just as bad as an indulgent mother, one drives her children mad, the other leads her children to the path of destruction. Tiger mother and indulgent mother are extremely unfit mothers, which neither is good or desirable. They are harmful and not helpful to normal child development. 

16.  Believers are to continue in the grace of God. 

Act 13:43 , “Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.” 

Note: Continue in Greek is epimenō which means to stay at or with, tarry still, still to abide, remain, persevere; – it occurs about 18 times in the New Testament. To be a disciple of Christ is not for a period of time, it is a continuing life-time process of growing in the grace of God until Jesus Christ returns. 

Hbr 13:9, “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” 

Note: Establish in Greek is bebaioō which means to make firm,    confirm, make sure; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. To be established with grace is to be made steadfast and constant in soul by the grace of God. There are many strange doctrines as there are infinite numbers of crooked ways. One strange doctrine, for example, is the belief that all religions lead to God, for that reason the Christian faith and practice must be made to accommodate other faiths or religions. This is a big lie. Truth is exclusive of all lies and falsehoods. It is a good thing that the heart is established with grace. A heart established with grace is rooted in the Word of God, the hope in Christ as an anchor of the soul, and will not be carried about with diverse and strange doctrines. 

17.  Sing with grace. 

Col 3:16 , “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” 

Note: If you have the Word of Christ dwells in you richly, naturally you will sing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Take heed, some new songs used in some Taiwanese churches or denominations are not spiritual songs. They were secular songs inspired by Hollywood. 

18.  Speak with grace. 

Col 4:6 , “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.” 

Note: Grace of speech means speech that brings joy, pleasure, delight, kindness, sweetness, charm, and loveliness. To speak with grace is how we ought to answer every man. The rich and powerful usually speak roughly and rudely because they think they have money and power. Supremacists are the most arrogant people who always talk big and threaten other nations. There is an interesting historical example that teaches the consequence of a wrong answer. Rehoboam was a stupid son of Solomon. The whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam asking to lighten their burden and yoke. Rehoboam rejected the advice which the elders had given him and spoke to the people roughly.  

1Ki 12:14 ,“And he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!” Rehoboam even boasted, “My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s waist!” The leader that does not listen to the people, events will turn against them. There is no good outcome for any dictator.  1Ki 12:18 ,“Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.” Every dictator will have to flee. The Egyptian dictator also fled. 

19.  Have grace to serve God. 

Heb 12:28 ,  “Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” 

Note: As believers are saved by grace (saving grace), so Christians have grace to serve God (serving grace). To live in this world of sin and sorrow, Christians also need living grace. You must have the saving grace before you can have the serving grace. How to serve God? 

Hbr 9:14 , “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” 

Note: Those have the grace of God whose conscience has been cleansed by the blood of Christ. Those whose conscience has been cleansed by the blood of Christ are fit to serve the living God.  To serve God is not easy, it needs the grace and gift of God.

20.  Believers have gifts differing according to the grace given. 

Rom 12:6 , “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith.” 

Note: Gift in Greek is charisma which means extraordinary powers, the reception of which is due to the power of divine grace operating by the Holy Spirit; – it occurs about 17 times in the New Testament. The word charisma is often abused and misused by members of the Pentecostal churches. The charismatic church misinterprets the gifts of divine grace. Speaking in tongues does not signify the fullness of the Holy Spirit or a sanctified status in Christ. 

There is saving grace whereby we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ. There is living grace whereby we live for Christ in this ungodly world. There is serving grace whereby we serve and suffer for the Lord on earth. 

21.  Believers are to testify the Gospel of the grace of God. 

Act 20:24 ,“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God.” 

Note: Paul did not count his life dear because the ministry he received of the Lord Jesus was dearer to him. He wanted to finish his course with joy because what he testified was the Gospel of the grace of God. 

Act 4:33 , “And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.” 

Note: Great grace upon the servants of Christ and believers so that they may testify for the risen Christ.  If Christians do not testify the Gospel of the grace of God, the stones might cry out.

22.  A minister is made according to the gift of the grace of God. 

Eph 3:7,  “Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of His power.” 

Note: There are people who think that they have gone through theological education, obtaining a Th.D., ordained by so-and-so denomination, appointed to be a minister of a certain church, and so they are qualified to be a minister of Jesus Christ. Many have become pastors or preachers as an occupation. Some have become infamous for using the Gospel as a means to get rich as preachers of prosperity gospel do. Not many are made ministers according to the gift of the grace of God. Most ministers are made by men or organizations. True ministers are made by God according to the gift of the grace of God. I have met thousands of ministers, few have the gift of the grace of God. Many have the gift of disgrace. 

23.  Come to the throne of grace. 

Hbr 4:16 , “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” 

Note: Come in Greek isproserchomai which means to approach, draw near to; – it occurs about 86 times in the New Testament. We draw near to God in order to seek His grace and favor. Mercy in Greek is  eleos which means kindness of God towards men, goodness of God in general providence, the mercy and clemency of God in providing and offering to men salvation by Christ; – it occurs about 28 times in the New Testament. Man-made religions have designated places for worship. Christians may come to the throne of grace anytime and anywhere. Come to the throne of grace means to pray to God for help in time of need. The line of God is open all the time without interruption or interference. 

There are many times of need, natural and man-made disasters abound. This is the promise of God to His children, come boldly to the throne of grace, obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. You can pray for everything, God will not be offended.  For an old man the worst thing could happen in America is to be old, poor, sick and alone. This is the meaning of desperation.  The propaganda that the U.S. has the best social benefits is false.  The U.S. spends trillions in wars and weapons, but you have the right to be unemployed, discriminated, defrauded, blackmailed, threatened, robbed, raped and even murdered alone. To be desperate in America is more desperate than anywhere else.  

Call upon the Lord no matter where you are and how desperate you are. The Lord has saved me from many desperate situations. 

24.  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient. 

2Cr 12:9 , “And He (Christ) said to me (Paul): My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 

Note: Sufficient in Greek is  arkeō  which means to be possessed of unfailing strength, to be enough, to suffice; – it occurs only 8 times in the New Testament. The grace of Christ is sufficient to enable believers to bear the evil of this life manfully. Whatever situation a Christian may encounter, the grace of Christ is sufficient to bear and endure. 

25.  The grace of God lasts for eternity. 

Eph 2:7 , “That in the ages to come He (God) might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” 

Note: In the ages to come in Greek is aiōn  which means eternity, for ever, perpetuity of time, the endless future; – it occurs about 128 times in the New Testament. Eternity is time without end. 

There is no reason why God has to show unworthy mankind His grace and kindness. The only reason is the fact that God sent His son to die for sinners out of His love. For eternity God will show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward His children through Jesus Christ. Heaven is such a place with such a condition. 

Do you want to receive the grace of God now?
