A pdf for easier printing Aluminum Info.
By 18 months, if baby gets every vaccine recommended in the CDC schedule, they will have injected 4,925 mcg of aluminum. The amount of aluminum in an IV for babies is limited to 25 mcg per day. The following chart breaks down the amounts of aluminum in each vaccine.
Vaccines have been hailed as ‘one of the modern wonders of the world.’ Many staunch pro-life supporters do not realize that the vaccines they have grown up thinking normal and essential for health and well-being, have a darker side. I am writing this primarily for my Christian friends to explain my views on this controversial topic.
Many vaccines are derived using cell lines which were established by using aborted human fetal tissue a.k.a. human diploid cells (HDC). These cells were intentionally harvested from abortions in order to do scientific research. It was not a matter of randomly collecting the “wastes”. There was a scientist alerted and on standby to collect and properly preserve the human embryo extracted from its mother. The scientific journal, Nature, explains the history and gives a detailed inside look into the background of this less known side of science.[1]
As a Christian I am strongly opposed to any product which relies on an abortion. Other Christian authors have come to opposing conclusions. One particularly well-known author is not satisfied with having a different conclusion than I do, he also attacks Christians like me who disagree with him as being naive and promoting bald face lies, of a particularly evil nature. I am confident that I am not naive, am not repeating lies and I have no evil agenda. My sole aim is to help parents understand the science behind our amazing immune system – a system that was perfectly designed by our Creator. If someone has a different view, and even if they claim to be a Christian, that is fine for them. We will all answer to God for the choices we make and the influence we exert in the world.
It has been stated that there was only one abortion involved, so people like me are promoting lies. For the WI-38 cell line there were 38 abortions performed before the cell line was successfully cultured – thus the number, ’38’. {edit: while the number 38 may not indicate 38 abortions, from Hayflick’s paper we know at least 20 abortions were performed[8].} Other cell lines derived from aborted human fetal tissue are MRC-5, HEK-293, RA27/3 (’27/3′ refers to the 27th abortion, 3rd attempt before the cell line grew). This tissue has been used in developing vaccines for chickenpox, Hepatitis A, MMR, MR, Rubella, Polio, Shingles and Smallpox (Acambis 1000) which are currently in use today and injected into babies and children (and now more frequently recommended for adults).[2]
Is there an impact on health?
Another very profoundly disturbing aspect of using human fetal cells to culture viruses which are injected into human babies has to do with the DNA fragments. The aforementioned Christian author insists that there is no DNA contained in the vaccines, but the FDA has a legal limit for the amount of DNA, which is routinely exceeded.
In 1986: WHO established a DNA limit for vaccines manufactured in cell lines at ≤ 100 pg per dose. At the very least, that means since 1986 there has been an ‘acceptable limit’ and an acknowledgement that DNA fragments are injected into babies.[3]
But what is the impact of the human DNA when injected into babies? and others?
The implication and health impact of injecting foreign DNA (including DNA from other animals, which is also used in vaccine production) is not completely understood and those wishing to explore the science are often discouraged from doing so.[4] DNA cells present in vaccines has been debated for over 40 years and those promoting vaccines claim the amounts to be “in such infinitesimal amounts” that they are GRAS (generally regarded as safe) yet they resist further study.[5] At the very least there should be more urgent honest investigation. In the meantime all children are victims of this experiment.
I find it incomprehensible that any Christian organization would encourage parents to knowingly put their children at risk of great harm based on a tightly controlled system of lies, spin and marketing.
I find it perplexing how many peer-reviewed scientific publications, old and recent, clearly indicate the multiple dangers that are associated with vaccines yet the public is often bombarded and heavily marketed with how safe vaccines are.
Just as there is data suggesting vaccines are safe, there is also data suggesting that they aren’t. This is why it’s so important to do your own research, and not just accept what you are told blindly without investigation.[6]
Paul warned us in 2 Thessalonians 2 that there are evil forces on earth which are secretly at work. Could the pharmaceutical industry be a key player in the deceptive tactics Jesus, Paul, Peter and John all warned us about?[7]
Our babies are precious. We have been given the task as parents to protect them from harm. We have an enemy in this world who is seeking to steel, kill and devour (John 10:10). Jesus wants to give us life and protect us from evil. I urge all parents to diligently do the research necessary for themselves. You need to know which shot your doctor is recommending. You need to evaluate the full risk of the shot compared to the risk of the illness with appropriate treatment.
As far as the argument pushing parents to get the shot for the good of the community or of immuno compromised individuals – The best gift you can give to yourself or your community is a healthy child with a well-functioning immune system. Vaccines fail miserably in both safety and efficacy. Children who receive vaccines are probably a greater risk to the community. A healthy non vaccinated child poses no risk.
You need to study this topic BEFORE you agree to any vaccine, particularly in pregnancy and for newborns. Give more time to this decision than your choice of car seat, cell phone, or anything else. It is critically important.
Parents need to demonstrate discernment and seek truth. Acting out of fear, inspired through the media and marketing, is contrary to what Jesus called us to. There are many peer-reviewed scientific publications, and many professionals speaking out on the unanswered questions regarding vaccine safety. There are known dangers associated with vaccines, with a separate court system set up to provide compensation for victims of vaccine injury, yet the public is often bombarded with scary stories and marketing materials claiming how safe vaccines are.
Don’t take my word for it. Begin exploring the science behind vaccines. I am absolutely confident that Jesus Christ, the source of all wisdom and knowledge, can lead you to truth. I pray daily for the Christian community to wake up to the deception that is trying to engulf us and take us captive with serious physical consequences for ourselves, our children and our future. God needs us all to be awake, aware and ready for the soon return of Jesus our Lord.

It might be a neighbor, a relative, or a casual acquaintance. It might even be your pediatrician or other health care provider. They make some outrageous or attacking comment about how the non-vaccinated (they usually say Unvaccinated, but it’s not possible to “un” vaccinate a person, so I prefer the term “non” vaccinated) are putting everyone at risk, are harming their own kids and others, etc.
The interesting thing is most of these people have no idea about the science behind the vaccination debate nor the forces promoting the oft repeated mantras “vaccines are safe and effective; they’ve saved the world; you’re stupid if you don’t get one; if there are risks they are very very rare.”

Learn a couple of key questions to ask your staunch vaccine proponent and tell them, “If you can answer a couple of questions, I’d be happy to discuss this topic further with you.”
Here is a sample of some of the questions that might be helpful, complete with the answers, or you may like to think up your own questions.
#1 What is MRC-5 and WI-38 and what vaccines are they in?
Answer – MRC-5 and WI-38 are the names of two fetal cell lines derived from aborted human fetal tissue (aka human diploid cells or HDC) and used in the production of the mumps, rubella, measles, MMR, smallpox, polio, hepatitis A, chicken pox and shingles vaccines. RA-273 is another fetal cell line.
#2 Name three ingredients in vaccines
Answer – Aluminum, Polysorbate 80, and Glutaraldehyde. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin and the FDA only allows 25 mcg in an IV for an adult. Polysorbate 80 is a surfactant known to facilitate access through the blood brain barrier and has been linked to sterility and other issues. Glutaraldehyde is used as a cleaner for oil and gas pipelines and medical equipment, and is currently in the DTaP and TDaP. Formaldehyde is another concerning ingredient in many vaccines and I’ve written a lot more about formaldehyde in this blog post.
#3 What are hexavalent and pentavalent vaccines and at what age are they recommended?
Answer – Hexavalent and Pentavalent vaccines deliver either five or six different vaccines in one injection. Popular variations include diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, HIB and polio. Babies are recommended to receive the initial dose at two months of age, followed by three boosters of most of the vaccines. See the complete CDC schedule in a chart below.
#4 What is a commonly used hexavalent vaccine that includes the DTaP and what is the total aluminum content as well as the EPA safe limit of aluminum for an adult IV?
Answer – PEDIARIX is a hexavalent vaccine targeting diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B virus, and poliomyelitis and is currently recommended in three doses for babies at 2, 4, and 6-months.[1] It is commonly given without parental knowledge or sometimes parents are told “It’s easier now, because there is only one needle.” This vaccine contains 850 mcg of aluminum, which is 825 mcg over what the EPA mandates as safe in an IV for an adult, and does not take into account the aluminum contained in other vaccines given at the same time.
Related question: What are the contraindications for PEDIARIX? or, should anyone NOT receive this vaccine?
YES. This information is provided in the full vaccine package insert, which ALL doctors should read, but rarely will you find a doctor who is familiar with this content. For one thing, a previous vaccine reaction is a reason NOT to give future shots. This is part of the contraindications as listed in both the PEDIARIX and INFANRIX vaccine package inserts:
“4.2 Encephalopathy (e.g., coma, decreased level of consciousness, prolonged seizures) within 7 days of administration of a previous dose of a pertussis-containing vaccine that is not attributable to another identifiable cause is a contraindication to administration of any pertussis-containing vaccine, including PEDIARIX.
4.3 Progressive Neurologic Disorder progressive encephalopathy is a contraindication to administration of any pertussis-containing vaccine, including PEDIARIX. Pertussis vaccine should not be administered to individuals with these conditions until a treatment regimen has been established and the condition has stabilized.”[2]
#5 How many vaccines are recommended for a baby by 18 months?
Answer – 42 vaccines are recommended by the CDC for all babies by the time they are 18 months old.[2] Each containing toxic chemicals including Aluminum, formaldehyde, Glutaraldehyde, Polysorbate 80, Propylene Glycol, and foreign DNA fragments from human foetuses, monkeys, pigs, guinea pigs, dogs and insects.[3] Additional vaccines are recommended from 4-6 years old and more vaccines are recommend to be given to adolescents.
Related question – How many vaccines are currently in production?
Answer – ±270 new vaccines at this time.
#6 Explain the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. When was it passed and what did it accomplish?
Answer – The US Congress passed the NCVIA in 1986 when the pharmaceutical companies came to them and threatened not to make any more vaccines unless they would be protected from any liability of lawsuits for damages or deaths resulting from vaccines. Doctors and pediatricians are also protected from liability. No drug company or doctor can be sued if a baby, child or adult dies or suffers from permanent damage from any vaccine.
#7 Who is Dr Paul Offit?
Answer – Dr Paul Offit is one of the most vocal proponents for the vaccine industry and is from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He put together patents on the RotaTeq vaccine that earned him multi millions of dollars and has written several books targeting those who seek to expose the risks of vaccines.
#8 How many vaccines has Dr Offit said a child can receive at one time?
Answer – Dr Offit was quoted in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Addressing Parents’ Concerns: Do Multiple Vaccines Overwhelm or Weaken the Infant’s Immune System? “A baby could respond safely and effectively to around 10,000 vaccines at any one time.”
Further, Dr Offit maintains that since aluminum is found in all tissues of the body it plays an important role in the development of a healthy fetus, despite the fact that researchers in the field of aluminum have determined that “aluminum has no healthful function in the body. It is a toxin and a toxin only.” http://vaccinepapers.org/dr-paul-offits-aluminum-deceptions-academic-misconduct/

Dr Andrew Wakefield is a name you might have heard. Maybe you heard something about his 1998 Lancet study which showed a connection between children with autism who also suffered from bowel disease. OR, if you only heard the ‘sound bites’ in a massive public relations campaign sponsored by forces who are eager to discredit him, you might have heard that his study was a fraud or even that he admitted his study was a fraud. That is a blatant lie designed to hide the truth from an unsuspecting public and repeated by many who are either ignorant, or blatantly deceptive themselves.
This is a quick 5 minute interview with Dr Wakefield, or Andy, as his many many friends, supporters and patients know him. He has spent the last 20 years tirelessly LISTENING TO PARENTS. Imagine that, a doctor that listens to his patients. A medical doctor trained as a specialist gastroenterologist, he published a paper, which has never been refuted, on a small group of autistic children who all had associated bowel disease and the presence of measles virus in the bowel. His study was asking why? And he intended to explore this connection further.
His research plunged him into the midst of strong political forces which did not want to acknowledge any connection between the new MMR vaccine, autism and bowel disease. The battle continues to rage to this day, despite multiple studies which corroborate his original theories. He is also achieving success in treating and healing the bowels of autistic children and seeing corresponding improvement in their neurological symptoms.
All new parents need the truth. Why is there such a strong public relations campaign to discredit this man when no charges have been brought against him? He is happy to openly discuss his science and to engage in a public debate with anyone in the vaccine community. Why won’t they?

Who Killed Alex Spourdalaki A powerful account of how ignorance, negligence, and indifference surround autism and the US healthcare system, produced by The Autism Media Channel Team.
To begin with let’s back up a little. What is the purpose of a doctor and medicine in its purest form? Is it not for the sick, the injured, or those who failed to exercise prevention?
Because medical personnel are trained to treat the sick, the wounded, and the seriously ill, their treatments carry some risk. They need to be highly trained individuals. They must carry heavy insurance policies. The thick manuals in their offices tell about the risks, interactions and side effects of medications and procedures. Obviously, the world of medicine can provide some amazing services that we cannot be without, but with that comes at least some risk.
Prevention should generally not involve anything with a known risk factor. Thus you cannot truly mix “medical” and “prevention” since medical involves risk.
Under the guise of “prevention,” vaccines are given to the well, to babies whose health conditions are unknown, and to anyone who will submit. Vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.” Congress and the Supreme Court have agreed on this. So why would a parent use a vaccine as a prevention when the vaccine is “unavoidably unsafe”? If you want prevention look elsewhere.
Anyone who has read the ingredient list of vaccines would have to say they carry risk at a bare minimum. The definition of poison is “a substance that in small amounts can cause illness or death.” No one person on earth knows the tolerance level for poison (or risk) for another human being. It is truly a shot in the dark.
So here are some thoughts on why a parent would refuse:
1. A parent can study risk vs. benefit. If there is risk in trying to prevent something my child may never have I cannot take that risk. Poison is a risk. Heavy metals are a risk. Viruses from cell lines of guinea pigs, dog kidneys and aborted fetuses injected into my child’s bloodstream? That’s risk.
2. A parent can get information. One can go online and read the package insert for every vaccine. Some are over 20 pages long.
3. A parent is suspicious. If vaccines are so safe why does the government pay out millions of dollars to parents whose kids have been damaged permanently or who have died? And why is it so hard to get that money? Is the government really reliable in looking out for the best interests of my child?
4. A parent can observe. Look at all the sicknesses going around … all the asthma, allergies, diabetes, obesity, autism, cancer, behavioral disorders and more. Real life trumps data every single time. School nurses are busy all day long, children’s hospitals are full and pediatric specialists of every stripe have waiting lists.
5. A parent knows that you can follow the money. Why is there such adamant defense of vaccines and no double-blind studies? Why does the government protect the vaccine manufacturer? Why are vaccines tied to the stock market? Why does the media protect the whistleblowers in the industry?
6. A parent can ask questions. If vaccines are so safe why are immune compromised children not vaccinated? Why is there a Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System?
7. A parent can use logic. If the vaccines are so wonderful why are they promoting herd immunity? Is it possible that some parents were willing to have their children injected with questionable and risky substances and still not be confident of protection from the disease?
8. A parent is reasonable. They know that measles and mumps and chickenpox are not life threatening … that childhood illnesses are okay and can build an immune system. Staying home and going to bed is not an impossibility.
9. A parent can find other ways for true prevention and cures. The doctor is for the sick not the well.
10. A parent is responsible to defend his own. He is not responsible for all the children in the world. He may even know that it is the vaccinated children who are spreading disease and putting his child at risk. The public health officials know.
11. A parent has seen the TV ads. Through this medium they know that big Pharma is willing to sacrifice health and lives for the sake of profit and that these same companies make the vaccines.
12. A parent has intuition. Parents can listen to their intuition … why do they hate taking their kids for vaccines? If it was so healthy and risk free it should be a joyful excursion. Unfortunately marketing often overrides a parent’s inner voice and promotes fear.
13. A parent may finally realize that true prevention involves (in part) avoiding vaccines!
Last week my grandson was unresponsive in ICU for three days from a vaccine reaction … a vaccine his parents did not want him to have. Once again real life trumps data. Instead of defending those who can defend themselves (big Pharma), let us listen to the mothers who weep over their once healthy children.

Doc: Your child can’t walk?
Mom: That’s right, he can’t walk. He was hit by a truck a couple of days ago. Could that be the cause?
Doc: Hmm, correlation does not mean causation so don’t jump to conclusions.
Mom: He was absolutely normal in every way before he got hit by the truck. He was walking, talking, learning new words everyday. He was such a happy delightful baby. Now he can’t walk.
Doc: Sometimes babies do that.
Mom: You don’t think getting hit by the truck was the cause? I did some research and I found out that getting hit by a truck has adversely affected many children.
Doc: Woman where did you get your info? From Google? That is ridiculous! A great source for all kinds of lies.
Mom: Well sir I checked on pub truck sites and they are reputable.
Doc: Nonsense, the peer reviewed literature is trustworthy and there is no evidence that trucks affect a child’s ability to walk.
Mom: Well my child can’t walk. What are you going to do?
Doc: Well he probably could walk if he tried. Has he walked before?
Mom: Oh yes he walked before he was hit by a truck.
Doc: Well the best thing I can do is run some tests. Sometimes these things are genetic and only appear to be caused by trucks. A truck could not cause this. Parents make unreasonable connections but we know.
Mom: What do you mean?
Doc: Trucks are one of the amazing inventions of all times… They do a lot of good. Children in Africa suffer for lack of trucks.
Mom: Do something. My child can’t walk.
Doc: We will have to wait for the blood work. I will let you know.
One week later
Doc: The tests came back. They were all clear.
Mom: But my baby can’t walk.
Doc: It looks like he has a bruise… Kind of purple.
Mom: Could that be caused by the truck?
Doc: Well I will call social services to investigate.
Mom: Why? Don’t you think the truck might be responsible?
Doc: I tell you I have spent thousands on medical school and you still don’t believe me. Why do you question me when you are uneducated?
Mom: Well I know he was hit by a truck driven by your partner down the hall.
Doc: This child has a bruise. The bruise is darker than last week. Research tells us a bruise occurs when blood vessels are broken.
Mom: Could it have been the truck?
Doc: It appears you may be responsible. Bruises can occur from striking or hitting. An investigation is warranted.
Mom: You are blaming me?
Doc: We need to look into this more. We know trucks do not cause bruises. There is nothing in all the literature that connects trucks and bruises. The blood tests showed nothing.
Mom: But I remember clearly he was hit by a truck and you keep telling me it’s got nothing to do with his condition. You are clueless. Regardless of your fancy education you cannot help me. I came to you for help and nothing has been accomplished. You are defending trucks! I think the truck industry can defend itself. What about my son who can’t walk?
Doc: How dare you challenge me? Your pompous demeanor betrays your possible guilt. I am reporting this.
Mom: I am furious. I am getting out of here. I came for help and now I have to hire a lawyer.

Please investigate every medical procedure recommended for your child. Vaccines have caused many children to have permanent injury, a lifetime of auto-immune disease, disability and sometimes even death. Denial of vaccine injury and damage by a medical professional does not change the facts. Vaccines have been legally classified as “unavoidably unsafe” and all vaccine manufacturers are legally shielded from any and all liability if their products cause harm.

Is a HPV vaccine a good idea for me?
One doctor’s opinion after her detailed analysis of all the facts and science:
Giving HPV vaccines to 9 year olds is a true crime. I have personally witnessed numerous cases of highly successful students who get the vaccine and go down hill so fast, and you can’t get them back. I’d rather work with cancer cases. They are easier to cure. Dr Suzanne Humphries
I was going to write a post with all the questions a mom and teens have about HPV, Gardasil and Cervarix* and cervical cancer, complete with the well-researched answers. There is a lot of misinformation that abounds. There is also a HUGE multi million-dollar campaign to push you to get this shot. It is promoted extensively and often directly to teens, as a cure for cancer.
I wrote the list of questions, but realized most of the information has already been made available. So I offer the questions with links to show you where you can get the answers. I highly recommend the videos produced by The Truth About Gardasil which supplies detailed scientific information and explanations.
I decided to go ahead with just my list of very important questions for any parent and any teen or pre-teen who is thinking about getting this series of shots in the hopes of avoiding cancer. Please take some time to review actual stories of the serious injury that has resulted from this shot.
An honest look at the research and information available on HPV and Gardasil will give you confidence in your choice.
I was significantly surprised to learn of the high cost of this shot for those who have to pay for it out-of-pocket. I realize in some countries the government might be giving it for free, but there is still a cost, and it is in the region of $130 per dose, for a total of nearly $400.
Additionally, the manufacturer, the doctor, the government or anyone who has recommended that you receive these shots are 100% shielded from any and all liability if you happen to fall into the growing number of those having significant adverse events or vaccine injury. Due to the passing of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 even those vaccines are deemed “unavoidably unsafe” no manufacturer or anyone involved in the distribution of the vaccine can be directly held liable for injury or death.
You will find the answers to many of these questions here:
Truth About Gardasil, a website dedicated to the science and truth about Gardasil. “As you look at the faces on this page, remember that these are just some of the thousands of girls whose lives have been affected by Gardasil. Sadly, one of the girls pictured above, Jessie Ericzon, passed away just two days after her third Gardasil injection.”

ADDENDUM
Dr Suzanne Humphries spends 10 minutes addressing the HPV vaccine in this video.
*(Gardasil is manufactured by Merck and Cervarix is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline)
Emily Reid kindly shared this information with me: I have seen first hand the effects of the HPV vaccine. 2 teenage girls (with their concerned mums) having nervous system disfunction weeks after this shot. They came to our clinic as their GP had dismissed their symptoms as just ‘nervous stress from school…and in no way related to their vaccine .’…The HPV vaccine has higher levels of aluminium than most other vaccines and coincidently (or rather not!) has a disturbingly high level of side effects and connected reactions including permanent paralysis and death which have been recorded in the US.
See this article: When Vaccine Ingredients Cross the Blood Brain Barrier – A Formula for Disaster:
“As of June, 2013, 30,352 adverse reactions to HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix have been reported to VAERS, the U.S. vaccine adverse events reporting system. Adverse reactions include 10,557 ER visits, 6,032 who failed to recover, 952 disabled, 64 cases of cervical cancer and 140 deaths. Consider this the tip of the iceberg as only 1 to 10% of vaccine reactions and injuries are reported to the U.S. government data base.”

Becky Hastings, wife, mother, grandmother, passionate follower of Jesus, seeker of truth and health. Facing a world quite different from the one in which I grew up, I seek to research and understand the very real dangers threatening the health and freedom of today’s parents, providing information to navigate towards joyful family living!
Are those who have power in our society seeking our best interests? Are they passing just laws and seeking our protection? Can we trust that the political and societal leadership has our best interests at heart?
Jesus warned his followers, “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod.” Mark 8:15
The Pharisees were responsible for law and order in their community. Herod was the official political ruler, but he engaged the Pharisees to help in controlling the people, keeping order, and settling disputes. They were living under Roman rule and were required to pay taxes and submit to Caesar’s laws and decrees. It was a difficult life for the common people, but the Pharisees were an elite group with wealth and privilege.
What was the “yeast” Jesus spoke about?
Jesus didn’t explain so we must interpret and figure it out ourselves! What do we know the Pharisees and Herod were guilty of through our understanding of other passages of Scripture?
Sound like any politicians today? Sound like any significant members of society and business?
Jesus was saying that there is a spiritual battle and there is far more to fear than the physical realities they were facing. The reality was that the Pharisees and Herod were actually acting as Satan’s agents on earth, cooperating with his plans and purposes. It was Satan’s plan to kill Jesus, thinking that would be the end of His influence and power. He used the religious leaders as his agents. They were able to infiltrate the hearts of the people at the time of Jesus’ trial before Pilate, the Roman Governor, so that the people demanded for Jesus’ crucifixion even though Pilate was hoping to release Jesus.
Jesus rebukes and chastises His disciples with strong words:
“Why are you arguing about having no bread?”
“Don’t you know or understand?”
“Are your hearts too hard to take in [truth]”
“You have eyes – can’t you see?”
“You have ears – can’t you hear?”
“Don’t you remember anything at all?”
After reminding them of the two miraculous picnics,
“Don’t you understand yet?”
Do you think He might have equally strong words for His followers today?
You might call me crazy, but I believe all people fall somewhere into these broad categories:
Jesus repeatedly showed His disciples and followers that His power transcended physical realities. He could produce food out of nothing, give sight to the blind, make the deaf to hear, give speech to those who could not speak, and even raise the dead to life.
Yet his disciples were arguing about bread. How often is our focus on our physical realities and our physical needs rather than on God’s purposes and advancement of His kingdom on earth? What might Jesus say to us today?
Are we heeding His warning to “Watch out and beware”? Paul reminds us that our battle is a spiritual battle and the weapons we need are spiritual protection (Ephesians 6). The reality is that there are currently dark evil spiritual forces influencing nearly every aspect of our society. Just as Satan hijacked the religious and political systems at the time of Jesus, he continues to be at work to thwart the purposes of God today. The religious system designed by God to bring people to knowledge, worship and relationship with Himself became the very vehicle for putting Jesus to death. Our own political system has been hijacked for evil purposes. Satan is busy trying to foil God’s redemptive plan in the world. The biggest issue Christ followers face today is not so much the physical realities and dangers we face – although those are often very real – the real issue is the battle for hearts and souls.
When Peter reprimanded Jesus for predicting his suffering, arrest and death, Jesus strongly rebukes him:
“Get behind me Satan. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
How about us? Do we see our current world and personal reality simply from our own point of view, or do we see it from God’s? It’s not really popular to remind people of the reality of God’s work in the world. Some don’t want to hear about a future judgment. Many don’t want to acknowledge the evil rampant even in the “good” systems in our world.
It is far more comfortable to interpret the world, or at least our country, as a kind and gentle place; believe that those who make laws are just; believe that everything we see on the news is true; think that all modern scientific discoveries are for our benefit; think that all medicine is good for us and all doctors want us to be healthy; believe that all history showing our country as the good guy is true; think that all wars we’ve been involved in have been for the righteous protection of the disadvantaged; to believe the public school system is not so bad.
What we believe. What we think. That is the yeast. That is what Jesus warned us about. Where do we get our ideas? What influences our thinking?
“You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
We need God’s point of view to reign supreme in every area of our life. Does God have guidance to give me? How can I be sure I allow Him to influence my thinking and overcome the powerful yeast prevalent in our world today?
Mark 8 ends with Jesus explaining the very high cost of following Him:
Then, calling the crowd to join His disciples, He said:
“If any of you wants to be my follower you must
turn from your selfish ways
take up your cross and
follow Me.
If you try to hang on to your life you will lose it.
But if you give up your life for my sake and the sake of the Good News you will save it.
And what can you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
Is anything worth more than your soul?
If anyone is ashamed of Me and My message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when He returns in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
Jesus came to set us free. Satan seeks to keep us in bondage. Following Jesus means we need to “Watch out and Beware.” The Pharisees did not look like “the bad guys.” They were respectable. They held prominent positions. They were wealthy and important; celebrities of their day.
I choose to seek Jesus wholeheartedly, He wants to save and preserve life for today and eternity. The nature of deception is that you do not know you are being deceived. We are all deceived to some extent. We need to continuously seek the truth in every area of life. We are in a spiritual battle. A battle to influence our heart and mind.
“Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.” 2 Timothy 2:25-26
