Abuse: Relationship – By Marc White (revised from www.CryingOutForJustice.com):

Relationship abuse runs the gamut from hidden domestic verbal sniping to open public murder. It is the sporadic or consistent disrespectful and dishonorable denigration and depreciation of a human being made in God’s image. The abuser-perpetrator can use both deliberate actions and the inaction of neglect and abandonment. All abuse proceeds from a heart deceived by self and/or the demonic.

Allegiance: pledging and/or swearing loyalty, faithfulness, obedience, or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or cause. Back to Top

+++

Amuser: A person whose life is dedicated to and revolves around all different types of a-muse-ment including religious activities, in contrast to “musing” on the Lord God, His kingdom, and what brings Him pleasure in all respects (Col. 1.9-12). Back to Top

+++

Busy-Lazy: Any person, both saved, lost, or apostating, that is busy doing things that really don’t count eternally, while being lazy by not serving others sacrificially with the real gospel of Jesus Christ. We’re reminded we can only do one thing at a time, and all post-salvation works are brought into final judgment (1 Corinthians 5:10). Back to Top

+++

Democracy vs. Republic: The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications on minority rights. Both forms of government tend to use a representational system where citizens vote to elect politicians to represent their interests and form the government. However, in a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a “pure” democracy, the majority is not restrained and can impose its will on the minority. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Democracy_vs_Republic

False Flag: a horrific staged event by covert military or paramilitary to deceive the masses and blamed on a political enemy, or a lone, crazed gunman, and used to sway opinion as a pretext to start a war and/or enact draconian laws in the name of national security, i.e. American Civil War, both World Wars, Vietnam, 911, etc. Back to Top

+++

False Teachers: any person seeking to represent the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ in writing and/or speaking who practices error in one or all of these areas – 1) distorting the truth of Jesus Christ in any way, 2) failing to preach and teach the whole counsel of God either by omission or commission, and/or 3) refusing the admonition of the Holy Spirit by direct revelation or through another person, saved or lost. False teaching on occasion does not make one a false teacher if corrected, but the persistent practice of false teaching condemns the teacher as proclaimed by the written Word of God. Back to Top

+++

Fear mongering: the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end; based on this definition, God Himself is a fear monger – and for a very good reason! Luke 12:4-5 “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!” Back to Top

+++

Fun: a diversion, a-muse-ment, “in 1727, and earlier = “a cheat, trick” (c.1700), from verb fun (1680s) “to cheat, hoax,” of uncertain origin, probably a variant of Middle English fonnen or “befool” (c.1400), called a “a low cant word.” Older sense is preserved in phrase to make fun of (1737) and funny money “counterfeit bills” (1938, though this may be more for the sake of the rhyme).

+++

Laid Back-Lazy: Any person, both saved, lost, or apostating, that is “laid back,” or basically sitting around without a fire in his heart, and not doing things that really count eternally, while being lazy by not serving others sacrificially with the real gospel of Jesus Christ.
