Self-possession = possessed by God<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.”\u00a0<\/em> Buddha<\/p>\n

“Rule your mind or it will rule you.”<\/em> – Horace<\/p>\n

Illuminati Satanists spin self-restraint as “repression,” that causes “neurosis.”\u00a0 They champion “sexual liberation” i.e. promiscuity and debauchery. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Self-Restraint is 9\/10 of Worship<\/em><\/p>\n

by Henry Makow, Ph.D. — <\/strong>(Revised from Sept 15, 2013 & Oct 6, 2018)<\/em><\/h2>\n

Have you noticed<\/strong> that nine<\/em> of the Ten Commandments are proscriptions?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

They tell us what we shalt NOT do.<\/p>\n

Surely this is an important clue. We worship God by disciplining and controlling<\/em> our lower nature.<\/p>\n

The only affirmative Commandment is to “honor your father and mother.”<\/em>\u00a0 The other nine are concerned with obeying, i.e. Self-discipline:<\/p>\n

You shall have no other Gods; not make idols; not take His name in vain; not work on the Sabbath; not commit murder; not commit adultery; not steal; not bear false witness (lie) and finally, not covet your neighbor’s wife or possessions.<\/em><\/p>\n
