Moronic Mexicans in a Snit Over Alabama’s New Law!

Some really stupid folks in Mexico are protesting Alabama’s great new law which is meant to stifle illegal invasions of America, mostly from Mexico.
As reported in part:

Outrage continued Friday in Mexico a day after Alabama’s governor signed the toughest law in the United States against illegal immigration.
The law would impose criminal penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants, give local police broad powers to arrest anyone they suspect of entering the United States without a visa and compel public schools to check the immigration status of students.
Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing “deep concern” over Alabama law HB 56. The statement said the law could violate the civil rights of Mexicans.
“Besides criminalizing the phenomenon of migration,” the law’s provisions “open the door for the improper application of the migration law by local police,” the Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry statement says.
Other provisions of HB 56 make it illegal to knowingly rent housing to illegal immigrants and prohibit businesses from claiming tax deductions on wages they pay employees who lack work permits.
However, the Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry said HB 56 “does not recognize the important contributions of immigrants to Alabama society and this country, nor is it consistent with the vision of shared responsibility, mutual respect and trust under which the governments of Mexico and the United States have agreed to conduct their bilateral relations.”
An estimated 11 million illegal immigrants live in the United States, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonprofit advocacy organization. About 120,000 of them live in Alabama.
Mexican government officials said they would try to keep their citizens informed about the law and offer them legal assistance, regardless of their immigration status.”

To the dodo head who is called the Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry: With all due respect, sir, it is up to Americans to determine “the important contributions of immigrants to Alabama society and this country.”
Fact is, illegal aliens cost US taxpayers more than $100 billion a year—some contribution!
To Mexico and all other Latin nations concerned about American states defending American sovereignty, language, and culture: You are better advised to spend your time and money in feeding, educating, and providing health care to YOUR citizens rather than dumping them on the backs of American taxpayers!
As far as concerns about how YOUR citizens will be treated in America: Keep them from invading America to begin with and your concerns will vanish!
Again, America is a sovereign state with borders and immigration laws that must be adhered to. The days when any Hispanic who decides unilaterally to invade America can do so with impunity are gone! Thankfully!

America: Land of the free and home to rule of law!

Please watch "Immigration Gumballs" if you haven't yet!

  

THIRTY YEARS IN HELL by ex-priest Bernard Fresenborg

Chapter II

Some of the Abominations of Catholicism Carried On in the Name of Our Blessed Saviour.

What I will now relate is not hear-say nor something that I have read about, but it is something that I know about, and which I witnessed.

It is a well-known fact that Catholicism endeavors to impress her subjects with the miraculousness of latter day miracles, as she will hold up the bones of some supposed Catholic Saint, and declare to her benighted followers that if they worship these relies they will work wonders and cure the ailment of any affliction they may be possessed of.

For instance, they will take the bone of some Catholic Saint (?) and admonish the followers of Catholicism to touch this bone, or to kiss it, and declare to them that by so doing they will become entirely cured of any malady that may rack their person with misery.

Of course, this was given out by the dignitaries of the Catholic Church in order to blind theirIn fact, Catholicism will resort to all kinds of nonsensical practices in order to completely keep their subjects in darkest ignorance, which will enable the officials to "hoodwink" their followers and make them believe anything the officials see fit to teach them.

I will now relate what I saw in Munster, Germany. The news spread all through Germany that the "Mother Superior" of the house of Saint Clement was living upon "Holy Communion" only.

Now that, the reader may understand what "Holy Communion" is, I will here state that it is a thin wafer, used for sacramental purposes, which would not weigh more than the one-hundredth part of an ounce, and this is what they claimed the Mother Superior of the house of Saint Clement was existing upon, she only taking one of these wafers every twenty-four hours.

Of course, this was given out by the dignitaries of the Catholic Church in order to blind their followers, and I desire to state right here that I also believed that this was the fact until it was demonstrated thoroughly that it was an infamous lie and that the instigators were infamous impostors. However, pilgrimages started from all directions to see this "Mother Superior," and when they could not see her, they fought for the opportunity of praying in her chapel. Some stayed for weeks and weeks to see her. Applications for intercessions of all kinds of misery were sent to her, as these simple ""dupes" of Catholicism 'actually believed that this impostor-had the power to heal any ailment that might afflict them.

 

There were thousands of fanatics who visited Munster and hung their crutches on the chapel walls and declared they were cured of their, ailment. The blind claimed to see by her intercessions. lt was claimed that all, possessed o every kind and description of ailments, could be cured if the one who was afflicted only had faith in this Mother Superior's wonderful power?

"The finger of God is in the land!" was the cry, and tens of thousands of Catholics from all over the country gathered in Munster.

There was a certain man by the name of Friedhoff who doubted the proclaimed powers of this Mother Superior and boldly declared his doubt, and the Catholic world was indignant over the audacity of such a doubt. It was learned that the Mother Superior would allow but one sister of the institution to come to her room, and also her Father Confessor. By the way, it might be pertinent to say that the Mother Superior was an extremely handsome young lady; in fact, very young for the position she occupied.

The guard that was placed over the Mother Superior was given instructions by the Mayor of Munster to watch her closely and see that she lived entirely upon "Holy Communion." The Protestant world took an active part in this matter and gave close attention to the guard that was over this "Mother Superior," as they were determined to learn from whence originated this bold deception, as they were thoroughly convinced that it was nothing more nor less than a deception.

The confessor of the "Mother Superior" was changed and the sister who waited upon her was changed, and in a very short time the "Mother Superior" asked for food; thus it began to dawn upon the public at large that they had been grossly deceived, and they began to learn that all of these miraculous cures (?) were brought about and promulgated by the leaders of Catholicism. Numerous physicians were taken into confidence and an examination was made of the "Mother Superior," and it was learned that she was pregnant, and it was proven that the child belonged to the priest in charge of the convent, who, by the way, was the one this "Mother Superior" confessed her sins to.

This "Mother Superior" sat in her room and gave her orders to at least two hundred sisters who were inmates of this institution.

The Catholic world advertised this "fake" so thoroughly that every house in and about Munster was filled to overflowing with pilgrims who came there on the strength of this well-advertised fake."

Munster was the Mecca. Every train arriving brought in hundreds and added great multitudes to the already great crowd. Some claimed that the. sight of the chapel, or even the sight of the hospital, healed them. Even the newspapers began to report the wonderful miracles (?) that were-performed by this "Mother Superior."

By this time the Protestants in Munster were getting very active and denounced this worship in round terms, and set about to have an investigation made, which was bitterly opposed by the Catholics. The hotel keepers and shop keepers of Munster were bitterly opposed to the Protestants' denunciation, as they were, anxious for this "fake" to be advertised as thoroughly as possible, as. it was bringing them in large revenues, as the thousands who were visiting Munster were compelled to have raiment, food and lodging; but the denunciation of this "fake" by the Protestants became so great that the bishop was 'compelled, greatly against the wishes of the citizens of Munster, to investigate, and this investigation brought forth enough to startle the civilized world. However, it is only one of the many, many colossal "fakes" that are promulgated by Catholicism. However, the clamor of the 'Protestant world brought things to a crisis, as the "Mother Superior" was ordered to stay in strict confinement and a watch was placed over her.

This brought matters to a climax and I the "Mother Superior" confessed that one of the inmates of the convent had secretly carried her food during all of this time that she wag claiming to exist on "Holy Communion." Of course, this is only one. of the tens of thousands of such schemes that are practiced by Catholicism all over the world, and the Protestants were not surprised and stated boldly and above board that they knew there was some "scull-duggery" attached to all of this fake miracle business.

This "Mother Superior" fled from Munster, and it was learned that she went to the City Rheine, on the river Ems, and gave birth to a child, and the father of this child was the Catholic priest in charge of this convent, who helped and, was the prime instigator in giving out to the world that the "Mother Superior" was performing miracles, which was a malicious lie made of whole cloth and promulgated in order to securely bind the followers of Catholicism to their Idolatrous belief.
This is not the end of the "Mother Superior," as she afterwards practiced in the open what she had practiced in this Catholic convent at Munster, as she entered a. house of ill fame in the City of Rheine in Germany, and there led a life of shame as a harlot of the world; however, she was only living the same life she had been living when she was sailing under the name of "Mother Superior" in this convent at Munster.
Now, reader, if Catholicism would practice such abominations upon the ignorant dupes of her followers in Munster, Germany, is it not reasonable to suppose that she would practice them to-day wherever she can fasten her hellish belief upon the minds of the people!

Hardly a day passes over our heads but what we, see in some newspaper where Catholicism is brazenly declaring to the intelligent public that miraculous cures are being performed by some "hoodoo saint" of their idolatrous creed.

One would believe that in enlightened America the Roman Church could not wield such an idolatrous influence over her followers, but when you stop to think that the children of Catholic parents are brought up from infancy to believe all of this "hoodooism," it is not strange that they fall into these idolatrous practices.
When America learns that the majority of the convents and monasteries of this country are used for the purpose of shielding and protecting Catholic criminals, and for the purpose of Catholic dignitaries to glut their lust upon the female inmates of these institutions, and will exact and demand laws that will force a rigid examination every thirty or sixty days of these institutions, then the world at large will know and thoroughly understand that these institutions are practically the homes of depravity and licentiousness.

To give the reader more information in regard to what Catholicism resorts to to impress their "dupes" with their idolatry, we want to take up their great magician, "St. Anthony." The Catholic priesthood teaches their followers that St. Anthony's spirit possesses the power' to answer all prayers, in fact, to perform any favor the supplicant may ask.

Now, to illustrate what I mean, is this: Suppose you had lost your pocketbook containing $50.00; the Catholic Church teaches that all you have to do is to pay a few dimes into the priest's pocket and then get down and pray to St. Anthony and you will at once learn where your pocketbook is.

Now, bear in mind that this praying to St. Anthony don't cut any ice unless you pay something, as every prayer must be backed up by money, and the more money paid the quicker action you can get on St. Anthony.

The Catholic Church calls it "St. Anthony's Bread Box," and right by the side of this box they have a large number of small candies, and you are supposed to drop the money into this box to pay for the candles that St. Anthony uses when looking for what is lost, or to light his path on his road to answer your prayer.

These candles cost the priest from one-half cent to one cent each, and the "dupe" will drop in from ten cents to ten dollars to have his prayer answered, so you can see that the Catholic Church is a good thing for the candle makers.

We will now give you a few idiotic prayers that are offered to St. Anthony by the followers of blind Catholicism.
 
"O, Glorious St. Anthony, noble Sunflower of divine conformity, I salute thee in the name of the Queen of Angels and of all the angelic choirs; and I thank Almighty God for the grace bestowed on thee, that like to this Great Queen and the angelic choir's thou wert ever conformed to His holy will. I beseech thee that with this glorious Lady and all the angelic choirs, thou wouldst approach the throne of God, lovingly offer Him this my petition and strengthen it by thine intercession.

"OUR FATHER. HAIL, MARY. GLORY." "I salute thee, Blessed Anthony, noble Narcissus-flower of knowledge, in the name of all the patriarchs and prophets; and I thank the good God for bestowing on thee, like to the patriarchs and
prophets, the gift of divine knowledge and of foreseeing future events. I beseech thee that with the patriarchs and prophets thou wouldst approach the throne of God and by your united prayers and merits obtain for me this my petition.

"OUR FATHER. HALL, MARY. GLORY."
"I salute thee, Blessed Anthony, noble Carnation-flower of fervent love, in the name of all the holy apostles and disciples of Christ; and I thank the most merciful Lord for the great grace bestowed on thee, like unto that of the apostles and disciples, when He chose thee to proclaim the holy Gospel and to spread the Christian faith. I beseech thee that with the apostles and disciples thou wouldst approach the throne of God and by your united prayers and merits obtain for me this my petition.

"OUR FATHER. HAIL, MARY. GLORY."
We will give you an instance of this " St. Anthony's" witchcraft business that came under my personal observation. A lady was standing upon a bridge that spans one of the many streams that rushes down from the Adirondack Mountains, gazing at this crystal stream and watching the fishes below, and while standing there she was toying with a beautiful diamond ring that had been given her by her lover. In a careless manner she allowed this ring to slip from her finger, and it fell into the waters below.
With a sudden cry those who were near her were attracted to the spot and she explained to them her misfortune, and it was not long until there was quite a crowd about her, offering their sympathy and also their assistance.

Some volunteered to wade into this stream and search for the ring, which was done, and a number of buckets of mud were carried up out of the stream from the point the lady had stated she had dropped her ring, but the ring could not be found.

At this point one of our Catholic "dupes" appeared and explained to the lady that if she would put her trust in St. Anthony and would pay $500, that St. Anthony would restore to her her ring.

This lady being a Catholic also, of course, was easily persuaded to do this, so they knelt down and prayed to St. Anthony and beseeched him to restore the lost treasure, and it was not long until all of those in the crowd that belonged to the Catholic Church were in sympathy with this distressed lady, and they were also kneeling and supplicating St. Anthony to restore the lost treasure. They prayed for an hour, but still the lost treasure would not appear; then the ringleader of this barbarous belief informed this lady that the ring had been swallowed by a fish. He pretended to be inspired and claimed that he could catch this identical fish with the bait of St. Anthony's bread. Everything was soon prepared and the line was let down into the water, and sure enough a good sized fish was caught upon this St. Anthony's bait, and the crowd went into rapturous delight, as they were quite sure they had the identical fish that had swallowed the ring.
The Protestants in the congregation were determined to see what was inside of the fish, so they followed the one that carried it to a butchershop and the fish was cut open, but naught was found in it but what is usually found in any old fish that never saw or heard tell of a diamond ring.

As soon as the fish was caught a collection was raised by a priest who was in the crowd for the benefit of "St. Anthony's Bread Box." All of the Catholics in the crowd contributed, of course, as they were afraid not to, for Catholics believe that if they do not do what a priest tells them to they are sure to have something awful befall them, and, of course, all of these Catholics believed ill the witchcraft of St. Anthony and believed that he was the actual restorer of all lost things.
Now, this is one of the thousands--yea, tens of thousands of such instances that are forced down the throats of the ignorant, superstitious followers of Catholicism.

Now, what I relate above is true in every conceivable manner, and not one sentence or statement is misrepresented.

This belief in the power of St. Anthony is simply abominable and belongs to the dark ages of heathendom.
I have often wondered when I was acting as priest ill the Catholic Church wily it was that Protestants, when they attended my church, would look on in wonderment and surprise, and I attributed this wonderment to a desire upon the part of Protestantism to make fun and vilify the teachings of the Catholic Church, but I now realize that this bewilderment came from minds which had been elevated far above the cungerings of the Catholic Church, and I am now surprised that the Protestants who visit Catholic churches are not more bewildered and mystified, as the teachings of Protestantism are based upon the inspirations derived from the Word of God, and the teachings Of Catholicism are naught but the rumblings of the dark ages.

Be Not Deceived

Deut.11: 16. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

Matt. 24: 4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

1 Cor.6: 9. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Cor.15: 33. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Gal.6: 7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

God warns us over and over and over...Be Not Deceived! The spirit of deception is stronger than it has ever been because it is being exercised by more people than ever! Even the church must guard against the impulse to manipulate the sheep into compliance!

Many TV preachers are getting fat off of the sheep without giving them anything of eternal value. They sell trinkets to get rich, promises of blessing...at a price of filthy lucre. Seed faith, they call it. Stealing, God calls it.

Ezek.34: 1. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
3. Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
4. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
5. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
6. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
7. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;
8. As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
9. Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;
10. Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
11. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

John 10:
1. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15. As the Father knoweth me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

26. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30. I and my Father are one.

Are you being deceived by a false shepherd? If you are it is because you don't know the voice of the true shepherd!

Matt. 7:
13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matt.24: 35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

1 Peter 2: 2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

lest it be said of you...
Mark 7:
6. He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Those that worship Jesus by teaching or hearing any other doctrine than that which is clearly taught in scripture, rightly divided, is vain- empty- unfruitful- cursed!

Love the bible. Know the word for yourself! Matthew 15 tells us..
13. But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

You wont get a pass because you trusted the liar. You are required to search the scriptures for yourself! Both the liar and he that believed the lie are both condemned!

Is your foundation the true word of God, or traditions of men? Do you know the difference? Ignorance is not going to be a valid excuse. Acts 17: 30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY

What is biblical Christianity? If you ask a Baptist you will get a Baptist answer. If you ask a reformed evangelical, your answer may be a little different. If you ask a pentecostal, or a Lutheran your answer will be even more different. A Roman Catholic may say they have the correct answer. Depending on which seminary a preacher graduated and received his or her ordination from, your answer will probably be slanted toward that seminary's persuasion. But do any of them give the correct answer? Can there really be 15 different ways to be right? Some will say yes, while others will say, no, you must agree with me/us.

What did the apostles teach? Biblical Christianity! I categorically reject any definitions, explanations, expansions given for clarification from any source other than scripture. 2Tim.3: 16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The Roman Catholic church is historically monstrous in its attack and persecution of any that disagree with her both secular and religious dominion. I know the Roman Catholic church to be the great whore of revelation, Mystery Babylon. Go here;http://fredanderson.blogspot.com/2010/12/mystery-babylon-great-mother-of-harlots.html I greatly suspect her daughters are the breakaway churches that form the protestant churches. Rome is the mother of harlots. Any church that teaches doctrine contrary to clear scripture is a false church...and most churches fall into that category!

The apostles taught Jesus name baptism (immersion) for believers. Jesus taught to be baptized in the name (singular) of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit(Ghost)which was obviously Jesus (Act 2:38, 8:16, Acts 10:48, 19:5, Col.2:8-9) What does your church teach? Go Here:http://fredanderson.blogspot.com/search?q=baptismal+truths

The world will not be administered by godliness until Jesus returns. Any church teaching religious dominion of the government(s) before Jesus returns in glory... every eye seeing him when he returns (not on TBN BTW) is teaching false doctrine. Christians have a right to be a part of the government, if they can do so without compromising the truth. Daniel and Joseph both did it in foreign service!
Can Christians without compromising their faith serve in the military? Go here: http://fredanderson.blogspot.com/2007/08/is-military-service-biblical-option-for.html

No Christian has any right to ever compromise with God's truth for any purpose. The end does not justify the means! We can't use tools from the devils tool kit and expect God's blessing on it. Deception of any kind is simply lying. Satanic! Any willing to lie to achieve a "greater good" is deceived already! All secret pacts, back room deals and slyness to promote a perceived "greater good" that calls for deception of any is satanic!

If you are a "Christian" leader, and can't be transparent with your agenda, you are probably not following God's agenda. Rev.21: 8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

2 Cor.6:
14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

God takes this very seriously, we'd better, too!

WinterBand-Apostolic Rock- Oh, Yeah!

Ok, I know a lot of UPC types of Oneness Apostolic Pentecostals won't appreciate this stuff, but I ain't UPC ( I owe my life to the UPC-best teaching and preaching on the planet!), and I do think this is the BOMB!

Israel is a land promised by God to it’s people…..His people

- Online By Darla Dawald Saturday, May 28, 2011

Israel has history, that despite horrendous, unrelenting attempts, cannot be erased. Their heritage is sealed in the pages of the bible and history books for all to see. Though many have tried to eradicate the Jews and the Jewish State, the Israelis continue to stand and fight and protect their birthright. Israel is the beacon in the night, lighting the pathway to peace in the midst of turmoil, hate, war mongering, and pure wickedness. Their enemies would like nothing better than to annihilate Israel’s people and claim the land as their conquest. Throughout time and the barrage of attacks, Israel stands. Israel shows compassion yet strength, endurance yet sensitivity. Israel is a land promised by God to it’s people…..His people.

I have compassion for those that have been separated from their land, those that are survivors of the horrific holocaust, and those that have lost loved ones under the attacks from the evil that surrounds them daily. Though I do not entirely understand their beliefs, I admire and respect them, for I know that we serve the same God. Not the God of Hamas, not the God of Islam, the God of Abraham!

I have included this video called I am Israel. I think you will enjoy it, I know I did. It is sad yet at the same time it is a story of perseverance, of great love for one’s homeland, and of survival. As a cancer survivor and a patriot in the some of the darkest times our country has seen, I can say that Israel inspires me. I understand just why we are allies and how important that relationship is to the very ideals of freedom and liberty. We share far more with Israel than many want to believe. We are brothers, friends, survivors, and we are hated by Islam. Together we must continue to stand for all that is RIGHT!




Our policy is very simple. The Jewish state was set up to defend Jewish lives, and we always reserve the right to defend ourselves.—Benjamin Netanyahu

So I think we should stay focused on the real problem in the Middle East. It’s not Israel. It’s these dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons with the specific goal of wiping Israel away.—Benjamin Netanyahu

I am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: September 11th we are all Americans – in grief, as in defiance.—Benjamin Netanyahu

When I say that terrorism is war against civilization, I may be met by the objection that terrorists are often idealists pursuing worthy ultimate aims — national or regional independence, and so forth. I do not accept this argument. I cannot agree that a terrorist can ever be an idealist, or that the objects sought can ever justify terrorism. The impact of terrorism, not merely on individual nations, but on humanity as a whole, is intrinsically evil, necessarily evil and wholly evil. BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, International Terrorism

God Bless You and Yours, God Bless America and God Bless Israel!

When Jesus comes back in clouds of glory, He's coming to Israel! He put His name there... forever! The time of the gentiles is almost over, then God will again turn to the Jews. Those opposed to Israel will be cast down finally. Thank God for the Jewish nation Israel!

Speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a Joint Meeting of the United States Congress

I am deeply honored by your warm welcome.  And I am deeply honored that you have given me the opportunity to address Congress a second time.

Mr. Vice President, do you remember the time we were the new kids in town?
And I do see a lot of old friends here. And I do see a lot of new friends of Israel here.  Democrats and Republicans alike.

Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel.  We stand together to defend democracy.  We stand together to advance peace.  We stand together to fight terrorism.  Congratulations America, Congratulations, Mr. President.  You got bin Laden.  Good riddance!
In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability.  In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American.  Israel will always be pro-American.
My friends, you don’t need to do nation building in Israel.  We’re already built.  You don’t need to export democracy to Israel.  We’ve already got it.  You don’t need to send American troops to defend Israel. We defend ourselves. You’ve been very generous in giving us tools to do the job of defending Israel on our own. Thank you all, and thank you President Obama, for your steadfast commitment to Israel’s security. I know economic times are tough. I deeply appreciate this.

Support for Israel’s security is a wise investment in our common future.  For an epic battle is now unfolding in the Middle East, between tyranny and freedom. A great convulsion is shaking the earth from the Khyber Pass to the Straits of Gibraltar. The tremors have shattered states and toppled governments. And we can all see that the ground is still shifting. Now this historic moment holds the promise of a new dawn of freedom and opportunity. Millions of young people are determined to change their future. We all look at them. They muster courage. They risk their lives. They demand dignity. They desire liberty.

These extraordinary scenes in Tunis and Cairo, evoke those of Berlin and Prague in 1989. Yet as we share their hopes, but we also must also remember that those hopes could be snuffed out as they were in Tehran in 1979. You remember what happened then.  The brief democratic spring in Iran was cut short by a ferocious and unforgiving tyranny.  This same tyranny smothered Lebanon’s democratic Cedar Revolution, and inflicted on that long-suffering country, the medieval rule of Hezbollah. 

So today, the Middle East stands at a fateful crossroads. Like all of you, I pray that the peoples of the region choose the path less travelled, the path of liberty.  No one knows what this path consists of better than you.  This path is not paved by elections alone. It is paved when governments permit protests in town squares, when limits are placed on the powers of rulers, when judges are beholden to laws and not men, and when human rights cannot be crushed by tribal loyalties or mob rule.

Israel has always embraced this path, in the Middle East has long rejected it. In a region where women are stoned, gays are hanged, Christians are persecuted, Israel stands out.  It is different.

As the great English writer George Eliot predicted over a century ago, that once established, the Jewish state will “shine like a bright star of freedom amid the despotisms of the East.”  Well, she was right.  We have a free press, independent courts, an open economy, rambunctious parliamentary debates. You think you guys are tough on one another in Congress? Come spend a day in the Knesset.  Be my guest.

Courageous Arab protesters, are now struggling to secure these very same rights for their peoples, for their societies. We’re proud that over one million Arab citizens of Israel have been enjoying these rights for decades. Of the 300 million Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa, only Israel’s Arab citizens enjoy real democratic rights. I want you to stop for a second and think about that.  Of those 300 million Arabs, less than one-half of one-percent are truly free, and they’re all citizens of Israel!

This startling fact reveals a basic truth: Israel is not what is wrong about the Middle East. Israel is what is right about the Middle East.

Israel fully supports the desire of Arab peoples in our region to live freely. We long for the day when Israel will be one of many real democracies in the Middle East.

Fifteen years ago, I stood at this very podium, and said that democracy must start to take root in the Arab World. Well, it’s begun to take root.  This beginning holds the promise of a brilliant future of peace and prosperity. For I believe that a Middle East that is genuinely democratic will be a Middle East truly at peace.
But while we hope and work for the best, we must also recognize that powerful forces oppose this future.  They oppose modernity. They oppose democracy.  They oppose peace.

Foremost among these forces is Iran. The tyranny in Tehran brutalizes its own people.  It supports attacks against American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.  It subjugates Lebanon and Gaza. It sponsors terror worldwide.

When I last stood here, I spoke of the dire consequences of Iran developing nuclear weapons.  Now time is running out, and the hinge of history may soon turn. For the greatest danger facing humanity could soon be upon us: A militant Islamic regime armed with nuclear weapons.

Militant Islam threatens the world.  It threatens Islam. I have no doubt that it will ultimately be defeated. It will eventually succumb to the forces of freedom and progress. But like other fanaticisms that were doomed to fail, militant Islam could exact a horrific price from all of us before its inevitable demise.

A nuclear-armed Iran would ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. It would give terrorists a nuclear umbrella. It would make the nightmare of nuclear terrorism a clear and present danger throughout the world. I want you to understand what this means. They could put the bomb anywhere. They could put it on a missile. It could be on a container ship in a port, or in a suitcase on a subway.
Now the threat to my country cannot be overstated. Those who dismiss it are sticking their heads in the sand. Less than seven decades after six million Jews were murdered, Iran’s leaders deny the Holocaust of the Jewish people, while calling for the annihilation of the Jewish state.

Leaders who spew such venom, should be banned from every respectable forum on the planet. But there is something that makes the outrage even greater: The lack of outrage.  In much of the international community, the calls for our destruction are met with utter silence.  It is even worse because there are many who rush to condemn Israel for defending itself against Iran’s terror proxies.

But not you.  Not America. You have acted differently. You’ve condemned the Iranian regime for its genocidal aims. You’ve passed tough sanctions against Iran. History will salute you America.
President Obama has said that the United States is determined to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.  He successfully led the Security Council to adopt sanctions against Iran.  You in Congress passed even tougher sanctions. These words and deeds are vitally important.

Yet the Ayatollah regime briefly suspended its nuclear program only once, in 2003, when it feared the possibility of military action. That same year, Muammar Qadaffi gave up his nuclear weapons program, and for the same reason. The more Iran believes that all options are on the table, the less the chance of confrontation. This is why I ask you to continue to send an unequivocal message: That America will never permit Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

As for Israel, if history has taught the Jewish people anything, it is that we must take calls for our destruction seriously. We are a nation that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust.  When we say never again, we mean never again.  Israel always reserves the right to defend itself.

My friends, while Israel will be ever vigilant in its defense, we will never give up on our quest for peace. I guess we’ll give it up when we achieve it.  Israel wants peace.  Israel needs peace. We’ve achieved historic peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan that have held up for decades.

I remember what it was like before we had peace.  I was nearly killed in a firefight inside the Suez Canal. I mean that literally. I battled terrorists along both banks of the Jordan River. Too many Israelis have lost loved ones. I know their grief. I lost my brother. 

So no one in Israel wants a return to those terrible days. The peace with Egypt and Jordan has long served as an anchor of stability and peace in the heart of the Middle East.

This peace should be bolstered by economic and political support to all those who remain committed to peace.

The peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan are vital. But they’re not enough. We must also find a way to forge a lasting peace with the Palestinians. Two years ago, I publicly committed to a solution of two states for two peoples: A Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state
.
I am willing to make painful compromises to achieve this historic peace. As the leader of Israel, it is my responsibility to lead my people to peace.

This is not easy for me. I recognize that in a genuine peace, we will be required to give up parts of the Jewish homeland.  In Judea and Samaria, the Jewish people are not foreign occupiers. We are not the British in India.  We are not the Belgians in the Congo. 

This is the land of our forefathers, the Land of Israel, to which Abraham brought the idea of one God, where David set out to confront Goliath, and where Isaiah saw a vision of eternal peace.  No distortion of history can deny the four thousand year old bond, between the Jewish people and the Jewish land.

But there is another truth: The Palestinians share this small land with us. We seek a peace in which they will be neither Israel’s subjects nor its citizens.  They should enjoy a national life of dignity as a free, viable and independent people in their own state.  They should enjoy a prosperous economy, where their creativity and initiative can flourish.

We’ve already seen the beginnings of what is possible.  In the last two years, the Palestinians have begun to build a better life for themselves.  Prime Minister Fayad has led this effort. I wish him a speedy recovery from his recent operation.

We’ve helped the Palestinian economy by removing hundreds of barriers and roadblocks to the free flow of goods and people. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. The Palestinian economy is booming. It’s growing by more than 10% a year.

Palestinian cities look very different today than they did just a few years ago. They have shopping malls, movie theaters, restaurants, banks.  They even have e-businesses.  This is all happening without peace.  Imagine what could happen with peace. Peace would herald a new day for both peoples. It would make the dream of a broader Arab-Israeli peace a realistic possibility.

So now here is the question.  You have to ask it.  If the benefits of peace with the Palestinians are so clear, why has peace eluded us?  Because all six Israeli Prime Ministers since the signing of Oslo accords agreed to establish a Palestinian state. Myself included.  So why has peace not been achieved?  Because so far, the Palestinians have been unwilling to accept a Palestinian state, if it meant accepting a Jewish state alongside it.
You see, our conflict has never been about the establishment of a Palestinian state. It has always been about the existence of the Jewish state. This is what this conflict is about.  In 1947, the United Nations voted to partition the land into a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Jews said yes.  The Palestinians said no.  In recent years, the Palestinians twice refused generous offers by Israeli Prime Ministers, to establish a Palestinian state on virtually all the territory won by Israel in the Six Day War.

They were simply unwilling to end the conflict.  And I regret to say this: They continue to educate their children to hate. They continue to name public squares after terrorists.  And worst of all, they continue to perpetuate the fantasy that Israel will one day be flooded by the descendants of Palestinian refugees.
My friends, this must come to an end.  President Abbas must do what I have done.  I stood before my people, and I told you it wasn’t easy for me, and I said… “I will accept a Palestinian state.” It is time for President Abbas to stand before his people and say… “I will accept a Jewish state.” 

Those six words will change history. They will make clear to the Palestinians that this conflict must come to an end.  That they are not building a state to continue the conflict with Israel, but to end it.  They will convince the people of Israel that they have a true partner for peace.  With such a partner, the people of Israel will be prepared to make a far reaching compromise. I will be prepared to make a far reaching compromise.
This compromise must reflect the dramatic demographic changes that have occurred since 1967.  The vast majority of the 650,000 Israelis who live beyond the 1967 lines, reside in neighborhoods and suburbs of Jerusalem and Greater Tel Aviv.

These areas are densely populated but geographically quite small. Under any realistic peace agreement, these areas, as well as other places of critical strategic and national importance, will be incorporated into the final borders of Israel.

The status of the settlements will be decided only in negotiations.  But we must also be honest.  So I am saying today something that should be said publicly by anyone serious about peace.  In any peace agreement that ends the conflict, some settlements will end up beyond Israel’s borders.  The precise delineation of those borders must be negotiated.  We will be very generous on the size of a future Palestinian state. But as President Obama said, the border will be different than the one that existed on June 4, 1967. Israel will not return to the indefensible lines of 1967.

We recognize that a Palestinian state must be big enough to be viable, independent and prosperous. President Obama rightly referred to Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, just as he referred to the future Palestinian state as the homeland of the Palestinian people. Jews from around the world have a right to immigrate to the Jewish state.  Palestinians from around the world should have a right to immigrate, if they so choose, to a Palestinian state. This means that the Palestinian refugee problem will be resolved outside the borders of Israel.

As for Jerusalem, only a democratic Israel has protected freedom of worship for all faiths in the city.  Jerusalem must never again be divided. Jerusalem must remain the united capital of Israel.  I know that this is a difficult issue for Palestinians. But I believe with creativity and goodwill a solution can be found.
This is the peace I plan to forge with a Palestinian partner committed to peace.  But you know very well, that in the Middle East, the only peace that will hold is a peace you can defend.

So peace must be anchored in security. In recent years, Israel withdrew from South Lebanon and Gaza.  But we didn’t get peace.  Instead, we got 12,000 thousand rockets fired from those areas on our cities, on our children, by Hezbollah and Hamas.  The UN peacekeepers in Lebanon failed to prevent the smuggling of this weaponry.  The European observers in Gaza evaporated overnight. So if Israel simply walked out of the territories, the flow of weapons into a future Palestinian state would be unchecked.  Missiles fired from it could reach virtually every home in Israel in less than a minute.  I want you to think about that too.  Imagine that right now we all had less than 60 seconds to find shelter from an incoming rocket.  Would you live that way?  Would anyone live that way? Well, we aren’t going to live that way either.

The truth is that Israel needs unique security arrangements because of its unique size. Israel is one of the smallest countries in the world.  Mr. Vice President, I’ll grant you this.  It’s bigger than Delaware.  It’s even bigger than Rhode Island. But that’s about it. Israel on the 1967 lines would be half the width of the Washington Beltway.

Now here’s a bit of nostalgia. I first came to Washington thirty years ago as a young diplomat. It took me a while, but I finally figured it out: There is an America beyond the Beltway. But Israel on the 1967 lines would be only nine miles wide. So much for strategic depth. 

So it is therefore absolutely vital for Israel’s security that a Palestinian state be fully demilitarized. And it is vital that Israel maintain a long-term military presence along the Jordan River. Solid security arrangements on the ground are necessary not only to protect the peace, they are necessary to protect Israel in case the peace unravels.  For in our unstable region, no one can guarantee that our peace partners today will be there tomorrow.

And when I say tomorrow, I don’t mean some distant time in the future.  I mean—tomorrow. Peace can be achieved only around the negotiating table.  The Palestinian attempt to impose a settlement through the United Nations will not bring peace. It should be forcefully opposed by all those who want to see this conflict end.
I appreciate the President’s clear position on this issue. Peace cannot be imposed.  It must be negotiated.  But it can only be negotiated with partners committed to peace.

And Hamas is not a partner for peace. Hamas remains committed to Israel’s destruction and to terrorism.  They have a charter.  That charter not only calls for the obliteration of Israel, but says ‘kill the Jews wherever you find them’.  Hamas’ leader condemned the killing of Osama bin Laden and praised him as a holy warrior.  Now again I want to make this clear.  Israel is prepared to sit down today and negotiate peace with the Palestinian Authority. I believe we can fashion a brilliant future of peace for our children. But Israel will not negotiate with a Palestinian government backed by the Palestinian version of Al Qaeda.

So I say to President Abbas:  Tear up your pact with Hamas!  Sit down and negotiate!  Make peace with the Jewish state! And if you do, I promise you this.  Israel will not be the last country to welcome a Palestinian state as a new member of the United Nations. It will be the first to do so.

My friends, the momentous trials of the last century, and the unfolding events of this century, attest to the decisive role of the United States in advancing peace and defending freedom. Providence entrusted the United States to be the guardian of liberty.  All peoples who cherish freedom owe a profound debt of gratitude to your great nation.  Among the most grateful nations is my nation, the people of Israel, who have fought for their liberty and survival against impossible odds, in ancient and modern times alike.

I speak on behalf of the Jewish people and the Jewish state when I say to you, representatives of America, Thank you. Thank you for your unwavering support for Israel. Thank you for ensuring that the flame of freedom burns bright throughout the world. May God bless all of you.  And may God forever bless the United States of America.

Shocking Court Ruling: You Cannot Bar Police From Entering Your Home Even If They Have No Warrant!

This from www.cuttingedge.org



NEWS BRIEF: "Indiana High Court: No right to resist illegal cop entry into home, nwi.com news, May 17, 2011
"INDIANAPOLIS | Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes. In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry."

This decision is most shocking, and it absolutely propels America into the beginning of a pre-dictatorship phase. One of the most effective firewalls which our Founding Fathers erected to protect us for the dictatorial "knock in the dark" was the requirement that police had to present "probable cause" to a judge before they could forcibly enter a person's home.

This decision swiftly takes away that protection, a protection dating back to the Magna Carta of 1512! This event is a major one, indeed!

Since this decision was made by a state Supreme Court, only the U.S. Supreme Court can overrule it. Will the top Court in the land overturn this Indiana Court decision? I think it highly unlikely, since the U.S. Supreme Court has just made a similar decision.

NEWS BRIEF: "Supreme Court gives police leeway in home searches", Los Angeles Times, May 17, 2011

"Reporting from Washington— The Supreme Court gave police more leeway to break into homes or apartments in search of illegal drugs when they suspect the evidence otherwise might be destroyed. Ruling in a Kentucky case Monday, the justices said that officers who smell marijuana and loudly knock on the door may break in if they hear sounds that suggest the residents are scurrying to hide the drugs."

"In her dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she feared the ruling gave police an easy way to ignore 4th Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. She said the amendment's "core requirement" is that officers have probable cause and a search warrant before they break into a house.
"How 'secure' do our homes remain if police, armed with no warrant, can pound on doors at will and …forcibly enter?" Ginsburg asked. An expert on criminal searches said the decision would encourage the police to undertake "knock and talk" raids."

America is finally reaping the whirlwind after years of building a High Court which is predominately Roman Catholic. You have to look no further than the 300-year Inquisition to realize that Rome has never had any interest in the checks and balances inherent in our system of government!

All the above came from www.cuttingedge.com.  Go to the original post by clicking on the title of this post.  Regarding the remark concerning the Roman Catholic church...I have to agree 100%.

Keeping it All in Scriptural Context

1 Peter 2: KJV
 11.  Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
 12.  Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
 13.  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
 14.  Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
 15.  For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
 16.  As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
 17.  Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
 18.  Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
 19.  For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
 20.  For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
 21.  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
 22.  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
 23.  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
 24.  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
 25.  For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Romans 13: KJV

 1.  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
 2.  Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
 3.  For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
 4.  For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
 5.  Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
 6.  For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
 7.  Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
 8.  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
 9.  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 10.  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
 11.  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
 12.  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
 13.  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
 14.  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Again... just trying to keep it all in context: it's not about our personal freedoms, and liberties,  remember the time frame in which these were written.  It's not about us, it's all about Jesus and our relationship with him!

IF THE WHOLE WORLD HATES YOU, AND PERSECUTES YOU... IN THE END YOU STILL WIN IF YOU'RE IN CHRIST, AND THOSE OPPOSED ALL LOSE!

Logic, Fact, Truth and the Ability to Discern Them

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - April 28, AD 2011 1:11 PM MST

I must admit, the past 24 hours or so have been particularly dispiriting - and not because of anything the Obama regime has done, but because of the response by the so-called "right", or "conservatives", or "patriots" or whatever you want to label it. I sit astounded at the massive cowardice and moral failure of the right, and I also sit astounded at the seeming total incapacity of most people to think in a logical, reasoned, critical way. I knew that the Marxist infiltration of the education system had actively attacked critical thinking and logic and purged these concepts from school curricula (Logic is a mathematical concept - were you taught logic in high school algebra or calc classes? Nope. They stopped teaching it 30 years ago.), but I still thought that there was a residual remnant left in the populace. If there is, that remnant is miniscule to the point of being quantum. I have received many emails, some of them nasty, gloating and obscene, about the NRO (National Review Online) piece claiming that the Obama birth certificate "layering" was due to text-reading, or OCR (optical character reading) software associated with some scanners.

Here's where the LOGIC comes in. If you scroll down two posts to Mr. Denninger's YouTube clip, (Click on the title of this post to go to that site) he OBJECTIVELY PROVES that the Obama BC image is NOT a scan. Scanners CAN NOT generate full-saturation black text as is evident on the Obama file. This is not Mr. Denninger's opinion. This is not Ann Barnhardt's opinion. This is a fact, rooted in physics, namely Newtonian Optics. THEREFORE, any argument put forth by ANY person or group that is built on the premise that the Obama document is a scan, is an argument built upon a FALSE PREMISE, and therefore the logical truth table beneath that argument utterly, totally and completely collapses. Put in its simplest terms:

The Obama BC file is not a scan.
Therefore, scanning software could not have generated the layers.
Q.E.D.

Shame on NRO for publishing their piece to begin with, and mega-shame on them for not retracting it. Shame on Drudge, Rush Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Malkin, HotAir, Breitbart and all the rest for not screaming from the rooftops the TRUTH. The truth is that Obama committed a felony by releasing and attempting to pass a forged document yesterday. We don't need to agonize over all of the many, many errors that exist on that forgery. That is missing the forest for the trees - akin to analyzing a hangnail as a potential cause of death on a person that was publically beheaded. OBAMA ATTEMPTED TO PASS A PROVED FORGED BIRTH CERTIFICATE. What the h&ll else do you need him to do? Do you need him to personally start cutting the hearts out of children and eating them raw on the front portico of the White House? Are you waiting to see him personally push the button to launch nuclear warheads at U.S. cities? Will you believe that he is a traitor then, or will you still make excuses? Are you so afraid of war that you are willing to guarantee a war in order to avoid having to acknowledge that the war is already upon us?

This Obama problem could be ended NOW. The solution has been presented to us on a silver platter with a big, fat red ribbon wrapped around it. The man went on national television and committed a proven felony. Arrest him, his Marxist witch of a fake wife, Jarrett, Biden, Holder and all the rest, try him for treason and dissolve and nullify the Executive Branch and all of its actions since January 20, 2009. Let the Constitutional chain of succession work, swear in Boehner as a placeholder, and make it clear to him that he will NOT be running for re-election, and reset EVERYTHING with the 2012 elections. THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY OUT. THIS IS THE BEST OPTION. Anything less than this, and I seriously doubt that this nation will survive to the end of this year, much less to November of 2012. We are teetering on the very brink of total economic collapse right this second as it is. It could blow LITERALLY at any time.

Why can't Limbaugh understand this? Why can't Beck understand this? Or, do they understand this, and are too worried about maintaining their wealth and position to be willing to push their chips all in and stand for the truth?

I guess that is the difference between me and them. I would rather die broke, despised and FREE than live ONE DAY as a cowering slave to Marxist tyranny. And with each passing day, it looks more and more like I will be made to prove that sentiment.

And finally- to get another voice on the subject, cut and paste this into your web bowser:

WOW!

Man in California arrested for reading the bible in public

Reasons I believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis 1 through 6

including...
a) A literal (real) Adam and Eve
b) Everything was created in 6- 24hour days, God rested on the 7th day.
c) A world wide flood that destroyed all land dwelling life, EXCEPT...
d) Noah and the inhabitants of the ark.

It is the Word of God.
2 Tim.3-16 states...
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

      Science can only deal with what it can see, touch, weigh, examine in the physical/natural world.  God/Jesus deals with the SUPERNATURAL, He isn’t limited to the physical/natural world and its natural laws (gravity/time/death, etc.)  Evolutionists only believe what they can see-, touch, smell, and examine in a controlled environment.  

     We know that Jesus worked miracles all the time, contrary to nature.  He healed the sick instantly, raised the dead, calmed the raging sea, and withered a fig tree by talking to it.   He told prophecies, read peoples hearts, etc. Jesus was God AND man.

Jesus was the Jehovah of the O.T., the creator of all things in heaven and earth

Rev.1: 8. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,'' says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.''

John 1: 1.  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 2.  He was in the beginning with God.

 3.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Col. 1: 12.  giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

 13.  He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

 14.  in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

 15.  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

 16.  For by Him (Jesus) all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

 17.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

 18.  And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

 19.  For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

Col.2: 8.  Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

9.      For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

Gen 1- each day was a morning and an evening-24hours.  Yom is the Hebrew word- means 24hr day.

                                                                                                                                              

Do you believe that God actually gave Moses the 10 Commandments?  Were they real?  YES!

The 4^th Commandment; Exodus 20:

8.  "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 9.  Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

 10.  but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.

 11.  For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.  

 God wrote the 10 Commandments with his own finger- the pre-human born Jesus!

The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 go all the way back to Adam,, a real person!

Jesus believed the O.T. as historically accurate (He was an eye witness to it all, He created it all).

Matt.10: 15.  "Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!     Jesus believed this story, including Lot’s wife turning into a piller of salt.

Matt.12: 40.  "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”  ( He believed in Jonah and the whale) 

Matt.19: 4.  And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning `made them male and female,'

 5.  "and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?

 6.  "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.''  (a literal Adam and a literal Eve)

Matt. 24: 37.  "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

 38.  "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

 39.  "and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”  (Jesus believed and preached that the flood was real, the ark was real, and the world was destroyed except for 8 people. )

Belief in “millions of years” contradicts the Word of God  on death, and disease, and assaults the character of God.  The fossil record proves a flood- judgment for sin, NOT millions of years!

In the beginning, everything was good... no death, no sickness, no carnivorous animals killing each other.  All creatures ate veggies.  

Gen.1: 29.  And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

30.    "Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food''; and it was so.

Sin by a real Adam and Eve brought death, sickness onto the entire creation.  The 2^nd Adam (Jesus) brings redemption to the entire universe, if we believe and obey the gospel.  It is the Word of God!
