Simple: The True Christian Worldview
Chapter 2
The Only True Worldview
“It
is a sad but irrefutable fact that the Russian Orthodox Church at
the time of the Bolshevik Revolution was engaged in a fruitless attempt
to preserve its religious treasures (chalices, vestments, paintings,
icons, etc.) and was therefore unable to relate meaningfully to the
tremendous social upheavals then taking place.” Lies, Myths, & Half-Truths, by
He [Confucius] was born into a once noble family who had recently fled from the State of Song. His father was seventy and his mother only fifteen at his birth. His father died when he was three and he was brought up in poverty by his mother. Wikipedia, Nov. 2006.
His father, King Suddhodana, wishing for Gautama [Buddha] to be a great king, shielded his son from religious teachings or knowledge of human suffering…Inspired by the four sights, Gautama determined to leave his home, his possessions and his family [wife & child] at age 29. He chose to become a monk…Abandoning his inheritance, he dedicated his life to learning how to overcome suffering. He pursued the paths of Yoga and meditated with two Brahmin hermits, and although he achieved high levels of meditative consciousness, he was not satisfied with this path.

This will be one of the most important subjects you will ever read about, and hopefully comprehend. The reason I say the most important is answered by just looking at history and seeing all the wars fought, the women and children killed, the property destroyed, the fathers and husbands who never came home. All this because people couldn’t figure out which one was the only true religion.
Are you going to tell me that two people from two different countries who have the very same belief system are going to go to war against each other? Only if they are Lutherans, Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or “dipsticks.” Certainly you will never find two people from different countries who are following the only true worldview going to war against each other. So, what does that tell you about the religions mentioned above?
I know I sound like a broken record, but the way we find the only true religion is very simple, or do you not think we should attempt to find the only true religion? You don’t really believe the Humanist religion’s ridiculous teaching that says all religions are okay, do you? “Mine is okay, Yours’ is okay.” Why would God give us the Bible if He did not want us to believe the same about it? As I will point out often in this book, the only reason we don’t believe the same theology is because either one of us or both of us have stopped learning.

So, why is it so simple to know how to find the only true religion? Just follow the pattern of how God did it throughout the Bible. Look for a man and follow his teaching, as God always puts a man, not a woman, in charge to take responsibility for getting done what He wants done. Now, that’s simple, right? Wrong. That’s just the general principle, so we have to narrow it down a whole lot more because following men has gotten us into this mess we are in today [2007].
What pattern of anointing has God used throughout the entire Bible? Hasn’t He always put His greatest anointing on a last born son? It has amazed me for about 25 years how many Bible scholars have totally missed this pattern. It actually started before Adam, but for our present purposes we’ll start with Adam, as he was God’s first blood [The Hebrew name Adam should have been translated God’s Blood.]. But, God got serious about this pattern with Cain & Abel. Which one was God more pleased with? Abel, not Cain, right? Just keep following the pattern on down through Jesus then Peter and you’ll see an obvious pattern. Was it Ishmael or Isaac? Esau or Jacob? Reuben or Joseph? Aaron or Moses? Eliab or David? Adam or Jesus [The second God’s blood.] Andrew or Peter?
In particular, eldest children tend to identify more closely with parents and authority…general profile of firstborns as ambitious, conscientious, and achievement oriented. Relative to their younger siblings, eldest children are also more conforming, conventional, and defensive—attributes that are all negative features of openness to experience…History is itself a personality test. Ibid, p. 21, 22.
In some societies, laterborns are raised from birth to become servants in the household of their eldest siblings. Under these circumstances, sibling conflict is “class struggle.” Mitterauer and Sieder 1983:56; Vogel 1992. Ibid, p. 67.
Firstborns tend to be dominant, aggressive, ambitious, jealous, and conservative. At these five levels of behavior, the influence of birth order is consistent and unmistakable. Ibid, p. 79.
Nothing about the firstborn niche is conducive to relinquishing priority. Ibid, p. 104.
To get what they want, eldest children tend to engage in aggressive behavior…Helen Koch found that firstborns were rated higher by teachers on anger, quarrelsomeness, cruelty, blaming others, faultfinding, and insistence on rights. Koch 1955a …Relative to their younger brothers, firstborn males seem to be budding “terrorists.” Koch 1955a:15, 26, Ibid, p. 285.
Excessive violence and a penchant for cruelty are firstborn traits…
Ibid, p. 293.
Relative to firstborns, laterborns are more nonconforming, adventurous, and unconventional. Ibid, p. 74.
Everything about laterborns—their interests, their attitudes, and their cognitive styles—tends toward “divergence.” Ibid, p. 105.
Firstborns find it particularly hard to admit their mistakes. Ibid, 161?
The most tough-minded individuals are firstborns. Lastborns are militant, too, but for different reasons. Their militancy arises because they are daring, zealous, and liberal, not because they are particularly dominant or punitive (traits). Compared with other siblings, middle children are more flexible and favor compromise. Ibid, p. 302.
In ancient Japan, the lesser status of younger siblings was exemplified by their nickname—“cold rice”—which derived from the custom of feeding them leftovers after the parents and firstborn had eaten their fill.
Ibid, p. 65.
What typically differentiates laterborn reformers from their elder siblings is their willingness to support radical changes independently of any personal stake. They reform out of empathy, not high moral conscience or the need for achievement. Ibid, p. 157.
What most people in the world have missed is God’s use of general birth-order characteristics as balance within families. Even most of the researchers on the subject of birth-order have missed the importance that God placed on birth-order as a means to use people for specific purposes. Many of these researchers put forth the teaching that children end up with these general characteristics for the purpose of gaining the attention of parents. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth as I prove in another chapter. Suffice it to say at this point, there are few subjects more important to understand than birth-order when attempting to understand God’s relationship with humanity and who God uses in specific situations.
I’ve found it interesting how many firstborn preachers
I have heard say something to the effect that, “God has a special
thing for firstborns.” Yeh, right! Who did He wipe out at the
first Passover [crossover covenant ceremony] in
And it really doesn’t have so much to do with God not liking firstborns. It’s just that He can’t trust them to get the job done without them allowing “control-freakism” to get control. Look at history—especially the quotes above from the awesome book, Born To Rebel, and specifically look at the early church where within a few years Peter had been ousted and James— a firstborn—had taken control. It’s been downhill ever since. Look at the problems we have with pastors in the world today [2007]. These guys are seldom submitted to anyone except an occasional denomination. When you look closely you’ll soon notice that almost all these guys are firstborns.
Their major problem is that patriarchs/firstborns are probably the most stubborn people on earth because they just hate to submit, especially to a lesser lastborn son, or to a woman. [If you are a firstborn reading this, what are you thinking about what you are reading right now? Are you getting upset and “bowing your neck?”] See, that’s God’s problem with you. You just hate it when someone else is right, and it certainly bugs you when it’s a lastborn son—a.k.a., a little brother—to whom you must submit your leadership.
But, despite the obvious fact that a lastborn son is the leader who is in charge, a seeker still has to be discriminating when looking for the only true worldview/religion because some of the screwiest men this world has ever seen have been lastborn sons. So, don’t follow a man just because he was born last in his family. There are other characteristics for which you must look. Let me list the most important ones.
1. Is he a lastborn, and was his father a firstborn?
2. Do his teachings take you through Peter to Jesus?
3. Is he filled with the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues?
4. Is he the husband of one wife— a firstborn daughter?
5. Has God put him through a 14-year school as He consistently did in the Bible?
6. Is he serving his family above all others?
7. Is he, or does he appear to be a servant of all?
8. Is he knowledgeable of the Word?
9. Does he desire correction when wrong?
If you find one who meets these requirements, then you might have found your man who will lead you in the direction God has always wanted His followers to go. If you find someone close to these, look closer so that “you be not deceived.” Of course, it certainly won’t be the first time you have been deceived, huh? Just, hopefully the last time in this regard.
So, in order to determine whether or not your worldview, religion, denomination, or belief system is correct—or the “true” belief system—just check out the birth order of the man who got it started. If it was any birth order other than a lastborn son, then move on. The one you are in is not the true one. Admittedly, it may not be a terrible belief system, but it isn’t the right one. If you are going, why not go in the right direction, and that direction is following the teachings of a lastborn son. Simple, huh?
Simple, except for when you have Lutheranism which was started by a lastborn son, though some sources dispute my contention. The deciding factor in this instance is that Martin Luther was God’s answer back about 600 years ago, but his teachings should have been departed from many years ago because he was wrong about many points of theology. Despite the fact that Luther can easily be faulted now, there is no doubt in my mind that Martin Luther was God’s man of the hour in his day. But, what must be understood by everyone—and I believe I have touched on this in one of my other books—is that Luther is not the one to fault, as he probably did as well as his mind and/or information could take him. Or, it was as far as God wanted to take him, possibly because God may have wanted someone else to take up the fight years later and fill in the theological holes left by Luther.
The people at fault are the ones who blindly accepted Luther’s teachings hundreds of years later, instead of using Luther as a springboard from which to move on to greater revelation of God and His Kingdom. So, if you want to fault anyone, don’t go after Martin Luther. He was just the messenger at that time, but he is not the messenger now.
Then in the 1800’s God used Charles Finney the
great revivalist who was also a lastborn son. Charles happened to
be probably the greatest revivalist of that time period, and followed
that up with a career at
For instance, if this book is accepted as inspired to be used as guidance for people’s worldview in the year 2007, should people still be depending on every little bit of this book 600 years from now? I would hope not! This book, admittedly, is only a springboard to move on to greater revelation of God and His creation.
At this time, it may be the best book of its kind,
but that’s right now, not necessarily hundreds of years from now.
I honestly desire to present the most revelation that I have learned,
or had revealed to me. That is why I did this book. If there is anything
else that I believed should be added to this information, I’d certainly
add it. But, this is all I have so far as a belief system is concerned
on
What I think is important about this book is that I honestly believe that it needs to be added to by others contributing what they know. No doubt in my mind that this book contains some Holy Spirit-inspired knowledge, but not all of it. Some of it is opinion, but at least it is an honest opinion developed after many years of research.
