Dead Man’s Hand: Progressive Christianity

By Ronald Thomas

Life by itself is harsh and unrelenting, and it can weigh heavily on the soul and spirit of a person. Then you add the misinterpretations of Christ from the altars that follow the dictates of the Roman Empire, and life becomes even more complex. Yet religion plays an important role in the lives of people, and so it is important for us to use our faith to understand and embrace life.

Dead Man’s Hand is an inspired commentary that can help get you back to the inheritance that Christ gave us—salvation and the lands of America—and it can guide you away from the altars that peddle falsehoods about Christ. Author Ronald Thomas explains how important it is to protect the family unit from the spiritual and physical dangers of the world, and he shows you how you will never know who Christ truly is unless you walk away from the altars of the men in colorful clothing, who want nothing more than your money.

Christ is powerful, and his power hinges on one command: “Love me.” It is that simple, and there is only one Creator, one Lord, and one King. The message from the Father to each of us is to love him unconditionally just as he loves us.

INTRODUCTION

Man, since the time of the ancients in the lands of Mesopotamia has always sought to devise new ideas to govern other men to enslave them to their idea of governance. This idea of governance is passed down through heirs to the throne for successive generations. Our story takes place in ancient Mesopotamia about 500 BC, Babylon, and culminates in Rome around the first century. A look at the gods and goddess that arrived by ship from Babylon and the effect it had on the early Christians that started the Holy Roman Church and their governance of satellite nations by doctrinal dogmas that numb the mind to creativity by becoming in servitude to the Church.

There are three ideologies that glues the fabric of any society together, political, economic, and religious structures. The first two, political and economic structures built by man are movable over time and supposed to transfigure into something beautiful. Of course, there are no instances of this happening in history. They all collapse under their own weight over time. Then man comes along again makes an adjustment to the theory of political and economic structures and that to floats down the river like a boat until they to sink. The life span of these structures is predicated on the strength of laws created to control society and provide wealth to the throne.

Religion on the other hand is dynamic in the sense that it is an evolutionary entity that is ever evolving into new ideas. What do I mean by this?

Mans religion started out as one god then morphed into thousands of gods we see today. It is a constant flux that twists and turns through the rapids of time. Mans religion falls under the Law of Entropy, simple stated, mans idea of God, represents a
