Man is a social animal, man needs to interact with man, for by nature man has a herd mentality, yet under the new system we are forced to disregard the norm and distance ourselves even from relatives and friends.

When I wrote the title for this article, I was thinking should I write the more familiar phrase, Soldier of the Cross or The Warrior one? I decided on the Warrior because of what I want to say in this essay, seeing that warrior depicts a fighting man of a more independent nature, not someone that necessarily follows the lead or command of an higher officer, but one that works and operates on his or her own initiative, more or less a maverick.

“Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem….The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”

For many, many years ministers and pastors in the mainstream churches, and to some extent even Christian-Identity preachers, have used the word, Christ, as a second or surname for our Savior Jesus. Jesus is the name mandated by God, through the Angel Gabriel as stated in Matt. 1:21, Jesus, not Christ.
