Praise study
The New Testament Greek isn't nearly as colorful nor descriptive as the Old Testament Hebrew, so just a couple NT scriptures about praise, then a deeper look into the background the NT writers understood when they wrote about giving praise to God. With a lot of help from "Strong's Exhaustive Concordance"

Praise Greek-ah’-ee-nes-is= a thanks offering

Don't apologized for exuberance.

Darwinism: devilish Gnostic myth dressed up as science
By Linda Kimball
Today all people whose faith in God the Father is genuine face a seemingly insurmountable problem with what seems like an overwhelming weight of evidence that evolutionism is true and the Genesis account of creation is false. Mockers and scoffers abound, scornfully accusing the faithful of believing in "an invisible being in the sky and that a dead guy from 2000 years ago is coming back soon...instead of believing in reality," as one scofflaw said recently.
However, the real issue here is not "superstitious, backward Christianity" vs. "enlightened reason and science," but about one creation account (Genesis) vs. another creation account (Darwinian evolution). The truth of this claim can be seen in the following quotes:
"...one belief that all true original Darwinians held in common, and that was their rejection of creationism, their rejection of special creation. This was the flag around which they assembled and under which they marched.... The conviction that the diversity of the natural world was the result of natural processes and not the work of God was the idea that brought all the so-called Darwinians together in spite of their disagreements on other of Darwin's theories. (One Long Argument,1991, p. 99, Ernst Mayr (1904–2005), Professor of Zoology at Harvard University)

APOLLYON RISING 2012 The Final Mystery Of The Great Seal Revealed A Terrifying And Prophetic Cipher, Hidden From The World By The U.S. Government For
"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes." –U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter
On January 20, 2001, President George W. Bush during his first inaugural address faced the obelisk known as the Washington Monument and twice referred to an angel that "rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm." His reference was credited to Virginia statesman John Page who wrote to Thomas Jefferson after the Declaration of Independence was signed, saying, "We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?’’
Part one:go here
Part three: go here
Warning: included in this book are teachings pointing to heretical doctines of Ellen G.White, "Prophetess" of the 7th Day Adventists concerning "Amalgamated" creatures, mixed human and animal DNA, with a look forward to a repeat of this devilish mixture.
For an excellently written study by pastor F.M.Riley defending her position, go here. I am having to rethink my position in light of pastor Riley's work!
India to compile 'world's biggest' ID database
India has launched a huge national identity scheme aimed at cutting fraud and improving access to state benefits.
Using biometric methods, including an iris scan, the system will log details of India's population of more than one billion people on a central database.
It was launched by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi in western India.
The data will be stored online in what India says will be the biggest such national database in the world.
The unique identification (UID) programme will help those in poor, marginalised communities who find it difficult to access public services and benefits because they do not have official records, officials say.
The government expects to give a UID number to every Indian citizen within four years.
Birth registration is not universal and it is hoped that the database will give an accurate picture of Indian society.
'Special moment'
The new ID scheme was launched in the village of Tembhili in Nandurbar district of western Maharashtra state.
The ID numbers were handed out to 10 people, including three children.
The tiny village of 1,500 people was colourfully decorated and the villagers were excited to see Congress chief Sonia Gandhi - who smiled and waved at them - although few locals knew what the scheme was about, the BBC's Prachi Pinglay reports from Tembhili village.
Prime Minister Singh described the start of the process as a "special moment" that would empower the most marginalised in society.
"It will help strengthen the rights of the downtrodden and the poorest, including women," AFP news agency quoted him as saying.
Mrs Gandhi described the launch as a "new beginning" for India.
Billionaire IT expert Nandan Nilekani, who was drafted in by the government to run the project, was also present at the function.
Under the scheme, all Indians will be issued a 12-digit ID number which they will use to receive welfare handouts, to apply for other documents like passports and even to open bank accounts, the BBC's Mark Dummett in Delhi says.
As well as iris scans, photographs, fingerprints and other personal information will be collected and then stored on a vast central database.
The government hopes this will prevent corrupt officials from faking the names of people seeking welfare benefits or access to education - potentially saving billions of dollars.
Critics, however, complain that the project itself will cost billions of dollars and are also worried about the authorities collecting so much personal information.
Others say there is no guarantee that the scheme really will make much of a difference to India's corrupt and inefficient bureaucracy. Some say the focus should be on improving services for the poor, rather than access to them.

The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
SNAP Press Release
For immediate release: Monday, Sept. 20
For more information: David Clohessy 314 566 9790, SNAPclohessy@aol.com
Victims want Seattle archbishop’s appointment rescinded
Pope promotes prelate who enabled abuse just eight months ago
In 2009, Sartain ordained a priest who was clearly sexually troubled
That cleric was caught with porn, went on to molest a boy and pled guilty
Self help group challenges pontiff to "Discipline even one complicit bishop"
“When no supervisor is ever punished for cover ups, cover ups continue,” they say
SNAP calls the case “one of the most irresponsible ones we’ve seen in eight years”
In an unprecedented move, clergy sex abuse victims are urging Pope Benedict to revoke his appointment of an Illinois bishop as the new head of Washington’s largest Catholic diocese.
Leaders of a support group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, are writing the pontiff about Joliet Bishop Peter Sartain who was elevated on Friday to the Seattle archdiocese. SNAP is “alarmed” that Sartain ordained a priest last year who had been caught with “young-looking male porn” just weeks earlier and who had been told by Sartain’s staff to stay away from kids.
That cleric, Fr. Alejandro Flores, pled guilty to child sex crimes two weeks ago in the suburban Chicago area. He molested a boy as recently as January of this year.
“Sartain’s secrecy and recklessness clearly enabled Flores to molest this boy up until just eight months ago,” said David Clohessy, SNAP’s director. “By promoting Sartain, at best, the pope is ignoring terribly irresponsible behavior. At worst, the pope is basically endorsing and encouraging irresponsible behavior.”
On Sept. 8, prosecutors disclosed that, according to one newspaper, “Catholic officials had some warning signs about Flores.” The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office said that “Flores was caught with gay porn on his computer by Catholic officials in the spring of 2009. Though the website posted a disclaimer saying the people involved in the sex acts were not minors, (prosecutors) said Catholic officials were concerned some of the images appeared to be those of young boys.”
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2010/09_10/2010_09_08_Vaisvilas_PriestPleas.htm
Since Sartain was so secretive, SNAP suspects the Vatican may not have been aware of his actions with Flores. This is the first time SNAP has ever urged that a papal appointment be rescinded.
“Our request is, of course, an extraordinary long shot. But Sartain's actions are also extraordinary,” said Barbara Dorris of SNAP. “How can he justify taking such an obvious and serious risk, and his on-going secrecy surrounding it?”
SNAP is also highly critical that of Sartain’s recent handling of abuse reports against two other priests.
SNAP contends that the Flores case is typical of Sartain’s pattern with child sex cases. He acted with “similar disregard for public safety,” the group says, in the recent case of Fr. Lee Ryan and Fr. Kevin McBrien.
Just a few months ago, SNAP held a news conference and disclosed child sex abuse allegations against the two priests. Sartain knew of the allegations against each cleric, SNAP says, for at least five months.
“But he kept kids at risk by staying silent about them and letting the priests remain in ministry among unsuspecting families,” Dorris said. “And Sartain rubbed salt into the already deep and still fresh wounds of the brave victim who reported these two child molesting clerics by his secrecy and inaction.”
The group contends that Sartain violated the official US bishops abuse policy which mandates that credibly accused predator priests be suspended promptly.
A Florida man reported Ryan’s and McBrien’s alleged crimes to Sartain’s top staffers in January 2010. Five months later, however, neither Sartain nor his staff had taken any action against the two priests or made any announcement about the accusations. The worried and frustrated victim contacted SNAP and the group revealed the allegations. Then, Sartain temporarily suspended the clerics.
“Weeks ago, a Joliet chancery office staffer privately told that victim that Ryan would never be restored to ministry,” said Dorris. “But even now, Sartain chooses secrecy, refusing to disclose this decision publicly, leaving parishioners in the dark.”
The Flores case is the most clear and egregious example, SNAP believes, “that corrupt bishops continue to get moved up in the church structure and that little if anything has changed in the way the Catholic hierarchy handles abuse. It’s also proof that the alleged “screening” at seminaries isn’t happening or isn’t effective,” Clohessy said.
SNAP contends that never in the church history has the Vatican disciplined, demoted or defrocked a bishop for mishandling clergy sex cases. (A handful of prelates have voluntarily resigned under pressure, however, for either committing or concealing child sex crimes, most recently in Belgium. A list is available at BishopAccountability.org)
As long as no complicit Catholic official ever loses even one title, one honor, or one day’s pay, SNAP feels that the church’s long-standing, deeply-rooted culture of secrecy surrounding child sex crimes will continue.

Introduction: "The Secret History of the Jesuits" by Edmond Paris
There is no other person more qualified to introduce Edmond Paris' book,
"The Secret History of the Jesuits," than Dr. Alberto Rivera, a former Jesuit
priest under the extreme oath and induction, who was trained in the
Vatican and briefed on the history of the Jesuits.
The information in this book is factual and fully documented, and it
should be read by every Bible-believing Christian in the United States and
Canada. The Bible says, "My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge." (Hosea 4:6)
J.T. C
Dr. Rivera's Introduction
The most dangerous of men are those who appear very religious,
especially when they are organized and in a position of authority. They have
the deep respect of the people who are ignorant of their ungodly push for
power behind the scenes.
These religious men, who pretend to love God, will resort to murder, incite
revolution and wars if necessary to help their cause. They are crafty,
intelligent, smooth religious politicians who live in a shadowy world of
secrets, intrigue, and phony holiness. This pattern, seen in "The Secret
History of the Jesuits," spiritually speaking can be seen in the Scribes,
Pharisees and Sadducees at the time of Jesus Christ. This same evil spirit
directed the Roman emperors to issue the ten murderous decrees to
persecute the early Christian church.
The "Early Fathers" observed most of the ancient Babylonian system plus
Jewish theology and Greek philosophy. They all perverted most of the
teachings of Christ and His apostles. They paved the way for the Roman
Catholic machine that was to come into existence. Piously, they attacked,
perverted, added to and took away from the Bible. This religious antichrist
spirit working through them is seen again when Ignatius de Loyola
created the Jesuits to secretly accomplish two major goals for the Roman
Catholic Institution: 1) universal political power, and 2) a universal church,
in fulfillment of the prophecies of Revelation 6, 13, 17 and 18.
By the time Ignatius de Loyola arrived on the scene, the Protestant
Reformation had seriously damaged the Roman Catholic system. Ignatius de
Loyola came to the conclusion that the only way his "church" could survive
was by enforcing the canons and doctrines on the temporal power of the pope
and the Roman Catholic institution; not by just destroying the physical life of
the people alone as the Dominican priests were doing through the
Inquisition, but by infiltration and penetration into every sector of life.
Protestantism must be conquered and used for the benefit of the popes. That
was Ignatius de Loyola's personal proposal, among others, to Pope Paul III.
Jesuits immediately went to work secretly infiltrating ALL the Protestant
groups including their families, places of work, hospitals, schools, colleges,
etc. Today, the Jesuits have almost completed that mission.
The Bible puts the power of a local church into the hands of a Godly pastor. But
the cunning Jesuits successfully managed over the years to remove that
power into the hands of denomination headquarters, and have now pushed
almost all of the Protestant denominations into the arms of the Vatican.
This is exactly what Ignatius de Loyola set out to accomplish: a universal
church and the end of Protestantism.
As you read "The Secret History of the Jesuits," you will see there is a
parallel between the religious and political sectors. The author, Mr. Paris,
reveals the penetration and infiltration of the Jesuits into the governments
and nations of the world to manipulate the course of history by setting up
dictatorships, and weakening democracies such as the United States of
America, by paving the way for social, political, moral, military, educational
and religious anarchy.
The man, Edmond Paris
In the prophetical works of the Book of Revelation, Edmond Paris became a
martyr for Jesus. In exposing such a conspiracy, he put his life at stake for
truth of the prophetical signs to be known. Edmond Paris never knew me, but
I knew him without meeting him personally when I, with other Jesuits
under the extreme oath and induction, was being briefed on the names of
institutions and individuals in Europe who were dangerous to the goals of
the Roman Catholic Institution. His name was given to us.

The Jesuit Oath Exposed
[The following is the text of the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction as recorded in the Journals of the 62nd Congress, 3rd Session, of the United States Congressional Record (House Calendar No. 397, Report No. 1523, 15 February, 1913, pp. 3215-3216), from which it was subsequently torn out. The Oath is also quoted by Charles Didier in his book Subterranean Rome (New York, 1843), translated from the French original. Dr. Alberto Rivera, who escaped from the Jesuit Order in 1967, confirms that the induction ceremony and the text of the Jesuit Oath which he took were identical to what we have cited below. – A. N.]
When a Jesuit of the minor rank is to be elevated to command, he is conducted into the Chapel of the Convent of the Order, where there are only three others present, the principal or Superior standing in front of the altar. On either side stands a monk, one of whom holds a banner of yellow and white, which are the Papal colours, and the other a black banner with a dagger and red cross above a skull and crossbones, with the word INRI, and below them the words IUSTUM NECAR REGES IMPIUS. The meaning of which is: It is just to exterminate or annihilate impious or heretical Kings, Governments, or Rulers.
Upon the floor is a red cross at which the postulant or candidate kneels. The Superior hands him a small black crucifix, which he takes in his left hand and presses to his heart, and the Superior at the same time presents to him a dagger, which he grasps by the blade and holds the point against his heart, the Superior still holding it by the hilt, and thus addresses the postulant:
(The Superior speaks:)
My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man. Among the Reformers, to be a Reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant; and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope. You have been taught to plant insidiously the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and to incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace; to take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means. You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and heretics of every class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men, for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death. You have received all your instructions heretofore as a novice, a neophyte, and have served as co-adjurer, confessor and priest, but you have not yet been invested with all that is necessary to command in the Army of Loyola in the service of the Pope. You must serve the proper time as the instrument and executioner as directed by your superiors; for none can command here who has not consecrated his labours with the blood of the heretic; for "without the shedding of blood no man can be saved". Therefore, to fit yourself for your work and make your own salvation sure, you will, in addition to your former oath of obedience to your order and allegiance to the Pope, repeat after me:
(Text of the Oath:)
I_______________ , now in the presence of Almighty God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the saints, sacred host of Heaven, and to you, my Ghostly Father, the superior general of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, in the pontification of Paul the Third, and continued to the present, do by the womb of the Virgin, the matrix of God, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear that His Holiness, the Pope, is Christ's Vice-Regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic or Universal Church throughout the earth; and that by the virtue of the keys of binding and loosing given to His Holiness by my Saviour, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical Kings, Princes, States, Commonwealths, and Governments, and they may be safely destroyed. Therefore to the utmost of my power I will defend this doctrine and His Holiness's right and custom against all usurpers of the heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Lutheran Church of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and the now pretended authority and Churches of England and Scotland, and the branches of same now established in Ireland and on the continent of America and elsewhere and all adherents in regard that they may be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. I do now denounce and disown any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince or State, named Protestant or Liberal, or obedience to any of their laws, magistrates or officers. I do further declare the doctrine of the Churches of England and Scotland of the Calvinists, Huguenots, and others of the name of Protestants or Masons to be damnable, and they themselves to be damned who will not forsake the same. I do further declare that I will help, assist, and advise all or any of His Holiness's agents, in any place where I should be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Ireland or America, or in any other kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my utmost to extirpate the heretical Protestant or Masonic doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, legal or otherwise. I do further promise and declare that, notwithstanding, I am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical for the propagation of the Mother Church's interest; to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from time to time, as they entrust me, and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstances whatever; but to execute all that should be proposed, given in charge, or discovered unto me by you, my Ghostly Father, or any of this sacred order. I do further promise and declare that I will have no opinion or will of my own or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ. That I will go to any part of the world whithersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions north, jungles of India, to the centres of civilisation of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America without murmuring or repining, and will be submissive in all things, whatsoever is communicated to me. I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants' heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honour, rank, dignity or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agents of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus. In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe my name written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I prove false, or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear to ear, my belly be opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth, and my soul shall be tortured by demons in eternal hell forever. That I will in voting always vote for a Knight of Columbus in preference to a Protestant, especially a Mason, and that I will leave my party so to do; that if two Catholics are on the ticket I will satisfy myself which is the better supporter of Mother Church and vote accordingly. That I will not deal with or employ a Protestant if in my power to deal with or employ a Catholic. That I will place Catholic girls in Protestant families that a weekly report may be made of the inner movements of the heretics. That I will provide myself with arms and ammunition that I may be in readiness when the word is passed, or I am commanded to defend the Church either as an individual or with the militia of the Pope. All of which I,_______________, do swear by the blessed Trinity and blessed sacrament which I am now to receive to perform and on part to keep this my oath. In testimony hereof, I take this most holy and blessed sacrament of the Eucharist and witness the same further with my name written with the point of this dagger dipped in my own blood and seal in the face of this holy sacrament.
(He receives the wafer from the Superior and writes his name with the point of his dagger dipped in his own blood taken from over his heart.)
(Superior speaks:)
You will now rise to your feet and I will instruct you in the Catechism necessary to make yourself known to any member of the Society of Jesus belonging to this rank. In the first place, you, as a Brother Jesuit, will with another mutually make the ordinary sign of the cross as any ordinary Roman Catholic would; then one crosses his wrists, the palms of his hands open, and the other in answer crosses his feet, one above the other; the first points with forefinger of the right hand to the centre of the palm of the left, the other with the forefinger of the left hand points to the centre of the palm of the right; the first then with his right hand makes a circle around his head, touching it; the other then with the forefinger of his left hand touches the left side of his body just below his heart; the first then with his right hand draws it across the throat of the other, and the latter then with a dagger down the stomach and abdomen of the first. The first then says Iustum; and the other answers Necar; the first Reges; the other answers Impious. The first will then present a small piece of paper folded in a peculiar manner, four times, which the other will cut longitudinally and on opening the name Jesu will be found written upon the head and arms of a cross three times.
