The Apostate Church

Rick Warren builds bridge to Muslims - http://bit.ly/A1jBey

"...proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God."

This is where I challenge so-called "Christians" to go back and read the 1st Commandment. Allah is a supposed "moon god"; the One True Living God (Jesus) is God not a "type" of god.

No, Warren, you got it wrong, again, with your Politically Correct and totally incorrect gospel of sameness. We are called to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in love, yes, but we are never called to tell someone worshiping a false god that their false god is the same as the One True Living God. I stand perplexed at such contradictory "reasoning".

‘”We agreed we wouldn't try to evangelize each other,’ said Turk. ‘We'd witness to each other but it would be out of 'Love Thy Neighbor,' not focused on conversion.’”

Evangelizing and witnessing are similar concepts.

“The ‘rumor is 100 percent false,’ Warren wrote at Pastors.com, a website he founded that provides practical advice to church leaders. ‘My life and ministry are built on the truth that Jesus is the only way, and our inerrant Bible is our only true authority.’”

This very statement of Warrens contradicts itself. If Jesus, as he purports to believe, is the “only way”, then he’ll have to explain how Islam flatly denies Jesus’ deity and the concept of redemption through one man (Jesus). He further shows his contradiction by saying “our” inerrant Bible is “our” only true authority. In other words, Jesus is the only way…if you just happen to be Christian, otherwise he’s not. Perhaps Warren needs to recap on John 3:16, since it plainly states that “God so loved THE WORLD…”. Which means that God so loved the world that he sent His Son, Jesus, to die for the WORLD, and the only way to be reconciled back to the Father is through His Son; there IS NO OTHER WAY. (Acts 4:12)

“When Barakat discovered who Warren was, he invited his neighbor to learn more about Islam. ‘I was talking to him over the fence,’ Barakat said. ‘I said, 'Rick, why don't you go to Syria with me? He said, 'Sure, let's talk about it. Let's do it.’”

Sounds like proselytizing to me. But, I thought they agreed not to do that? And, for those who wish to nitpick; proselytizing is to change a persons opinion. How? By talking with them and inviting them to see what you are all about. So, save your complaints.

“Gwynne Guibord, an ordained Episcopal priest and co-founder of a Los Angeles outreach group that fosters relationships between churches and mosques nationwide, said Saddleback's effort is unprecedented. ‘I'm not aware of any other evangelical church reaching out to the Muslim community,’ she said.”

Here’s one, if she’d bothered to look; http://www.muslimjourneytohope.com/

If Christians and Muslims “serve the same god”, then why did these Muslims feel the need to get away from Islam? Same god, same faith, where would they go? And, before you say that “Christians made them leave,” listen to their stories. Many, if not all of them, felt something was amiss on their own or after hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, NOT through forced conversions.

But, this probably isn’t the kind of “outreach” Guibord was thinking of, anyway. No, the outreach that’s on her mind is the kind that makes one feel comfortable about serving a false god, while dishing out a false sense of salvation that will never come.

And, the whole notion of “comparing notes” on “similar scriptures” is worthless. I can show how Islam and Christianity differ on vital points. For example, Islam has no concept of salvation beyond the incessant need to do good works to balance out one’s life until their death (you save yourself…if you can). Christianity says works cannot save you, but trusting in Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior will (God [Christ] saves you…because you can’t save yourself).

And, the following is the most stunning of apostasy statements, yet:

“’I think that many evangelicals feel a mandate to convert people to Christianity,’ Guibord said. Because the Consultative Group was founded to respond to increasing antagonism between the two faiths, ‘we would not have made headway’ if one side was trying to convert the other, she said. Now, she said, it might be possible to include evangelicals in her group's work.”

Let me repeat the part you probably missed: “’I think that many evangelicals feel a mandate to convert people to Christianity’”

Stunning.

But, where would we “evangelicals” get such a clumsy, close-minded, un-diverse idea like that from anyhow? Oh, yeah…Jesus.

“Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ~Matthew 28:18-20

Silly Jesus, didn’t he know that Gwynne Guibord knew best?

I stand flabbergasted at the apostate church.

And, there is tons more I can say about the glaring differences between the One True Living God (Jesus) and the false god Allah, but I don't feel like getting into it, as this post is too long as it is.

But, what I will say, Christian, is that Warren wants you to believe that the same God that sent His Son to die for the world's sin to reconcile fallen man back to Himself, is the same god who tells Muslims to do this: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ (save that "Radical Islam" claptrap; Islam IS Islam)

Think that through, Christian.

The Message to the Church in Laodicea

“‘Write this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. This is the message from the one who is the Amen—the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s new creation:’”

“‘I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.’”

“’Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.’”

‘Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.’” ~ Revelation 3:14-22

God help His church.

Merry Christmas, from the Commissioner's Desk!

Merry Christmas to all! Rejoice! For, Jesus, your Salvation has come! He has come to reconcile you back to the Father! Rejoice, O fallen man, rejoice! Today is Jesus' Crown and the rest of the year is His Throne!

"Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" ~2 Corinthians 9:15

What Is Truth? The Homosexual Agenda...Revisited.

*Content Warning: Blunt Language Quoted At End*

Pontius Pilate once asked Jesus; “What is truth?” Though, Jesus had given him the answer before he asked his question. We don’t like the truth; it bothers us.

Well, get ready for some more truth.

It’s not like they didn’t hear the truth on homosexuality:Waiting on Canada’s Supreme Court (Part 1) (Click to read article)

“He has also walked in the shoes of those engaged in homosexual activity as he engaged in homosexual behaviour as a male prostitute to fund his drug addiction prior to a conversion to Christianity.”

“Whatcott is however controversial from just about any standpoint. Some of his flyers use graphic images taken from ‘gay pride’ parades to drive home his points about the degenerate nature of such parades. He uses the term ‘homofascism’ to describe the ideology he combats and uses the term ‘truth assault’ to characterize his mass distribution of disturbing flyers pointing to the danger of homosexual acts and the agenda promoting them.”

Two points; 1) Notice many former homosexuals who left the lifestyle became…Christians. That is not a coincidence; that is the life changing and life saving nature of Jesus Christ. As Paul would sum up here, in 1 Corinthians 6:9-12: “’Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.’”

Pay close attention to the part that said; “Some of you were once like that.” Some translations say; “And such were some of you.” The point being, Paul is talking to believers who were saved, by God (Christ), out of the lifestyle of the many different sins listed.

That is the power of the Most High God.

Point (2 don’t you find it bizarre that when Whatcott uses PUBLIC images from “Gay Pride” parades to show how degenerate his former lifestyle is, they call it “controversial” or are otherwise “offended” by it? Yet, no one is “offended” when the very PUBLIC “Gay Pride” parades take place…in PUBLIC in full view of the PUBLIC? (yes, that was redundant, but necessary)

It’s not like they didn’t hear the truth on homosexuality:Waiting on the Canada's Supreme Court (Part 2) (Click to read article)

“When Justice Rosalie Abella pointed to one of the sections of the offending pamphlet that warned parents against allowing their children to be taught positively about homosexuality and noting for one thing that their children would die from it, Schuck replied, ‘And they will, the medical evidence is before you madam Justice.’”

“’The fact is the medical evidence before you is that people who engage in same sex activities have a life expectancy of twenty years less than anybody else, he said. ‘Why would any parent want their child exposed to that.’”

Precisely. The godless are not interested in facts, as I pointed out in my previous post about the Christian counselors. Just tell them what they want to hear, that’s all that matters. Truth? Well, that’s just a “nuisance” they can do without.

“Justice Abella was a favorite judge of the homosexual activist community long before her appointment to the Supreme Court.  In addition to unilaterally redefining ‘spouse’ in Ontario to include practicing homosexual couples she is also the judge who was responsible for lowering the age of consent for sexual acts from 18 to 14.”

Like I, and others, keep saying; as the homosexual agenda continues to bloom there will be even greater moral decay through sexual immorality, and they have no qualms about sexualizing children to ensure their agenda survives into the next generation.

“At one point in the Whatcott hearing Justice Abella, was caught displaying her bias on her sleeve as she let slip that she thought Whatcott’s statements were hateful.  Responding to a point Abella raised, Mr. Schuck noted that Whatcott should be able to preach his religious beliefs forcefully and drive home his points to his target audience.  Abella retorted, ‘He can. Why does he have to use hate to do it?’”

How is it “hate” to use actual images from a “Gay Pride” parade, actual words and antics from the homosexual agenda? To rephrase; how is it “hate” to present ones position by showing the homosexual agenda in their own words and images?

“A key moment in the hearing came when Justice Morris Fish asked Schuck to defend some of the harshest language in the pamphlet.  Asked to defend a section of the pamphlet claiming homosexual activists were trying to ‘spread their sickness’ to your children, Schuck returned again to the medical evidence showing the harm of homosexual sexual behaviours.”

“Schuck added however, ‘it’s not just same-sex promiscuity. Heterosexual promiscuity has many of these same problems. The fact is there is a lot of grief in this world because of misuse of sexuality.’”

Exactly, that’s why God (Christ) calls it SEXUAL IMMORALITY, it’s not just homosexuality, it’s the entire misuse of the gift of sex. But, many people smitten with the sin of homosexuality, or heterosexuals who promote it, never notice that part. They only focus on what offends them. If you go back up and re-read 1 Corinthians 6:9-12 you’ll notice that Paul mentions other sexual sins, not just homosexuality.

“Justice Fish pressed the point. ‘You say that it isn’t hateful to describe homosexual conduct as filthy and sick?’”

“While many a lawyer may have shied away from a straightforward reply, Schuck responded plainly and matter-of-factly. ‘Mr. Justice I think that putting a penis in an anus would be considered filthy by most people except those that have been sensitized to the gay culture,’ he said. ‘Lots of people find that revolting and it spreads disease.’”

“It’s straight talk like that that is not heard in most courtrooms today. It’s talk like that that needs to be heard. It addresses the matter head-on, without shying away.  In addition to religious freedom, this court is dealing with the matter of sexuality and thus there is a great need for plain and simple facts. I’m grateful Mr. Schuck was there to tell it like it is.  Now at least none of the Supreme Court Justices can say that they didn’t hear the truth on homosexuality.”

Agreed. Although, my goal is not to offend, you better understand something about me, and you better pick this up quick; I do not feel the need to insult yours or my intelligence, or waste yours or my time, by coddling your ego or your sin. I am blunt in my postings because time is insanely short. Death may come to you sooner than you expect, and my goal is to tell as many people about the saving grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ whose free gift of Salvation was poured out for them in love at the cross of Calvary.

And, if this “offends” you, and I will say this in the most loving way I can, I…do…not…care. For if it were possible, I’d rather you hate me and come to Christ and be saved because I told you the truth, than to love me and burn in Hell because I coddled you in your sin with lies.

Respect and Obedience to Human Authority

Click to read article: The Era of Confronting Obama at Public Events

"Blakeman overlooks the simple truth that you can respect the office only as much as the incumbent does.  If the officeholder violates public trust, which can occur in any number of ways, from leaping on interns to appointing cronies to extralegal positions, the question of respect as such becomes moot.  Some behavior cannot and should not be tolerated.  If it were Caligula and Cesare Borgia in the Oval Office, I'm quite sure that Blakeman would not call for abject respect for either.  Obama, to be just, is comparable to neither of them in iniquity, but the principle holds.  You may call it an exaggeration for effect, the literary version of Ryan's action."

This is why I talk the way I do about politicians; because they violate the trust of the people and they themselves do not respect the office they hold; if anything they abuse it.

You want to throw scripture at me and say I’m wrong? Okay, let's roll...

You may say to me; “For the Lord’s sake, respect all human authority—whether the king as head of state, or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.” ~ 1 Peter 2:13-14

I’ll bite, and further say you are…partially correct. Read that scripture again, then tell me what you failed to mention. I’ll wait…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

Find it yet? No? I’ll give you a bit more time.

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

Clearly, you’re not going to find it, so let me help you out. In order for a king to send those he appoints out to punish those who do wrong and honor those who do right, that king must be a just king able to rightly divide right from wrong (and in this day and age of moral relativism, acknowledge that there is even such a thing as “right and wrong”). The scripture just old us that 1) God (Christ) has appointed him and; 2) it is legitimate that a king can appoint others to help him…in a just manner.

Where do you see Barack Obama or ANY of these parasites in D.C. 1) actually “governing” and; 2) “governing justly”?

Keep in mind, just because God (Christ) has appointed someone doesn’t mean that such a person will always obey God or obey God at all. Saul was appointed to be king over Israel, because the people wanted it, and he did not always obey God. In fact, he became a failed king…because he wouldn’t obey God anymore after a time.

But, moving along.

Here are just four separate accounts in the Bible where people have stood up against a corrupt “governing” body, so that they could obey God:

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

“’But there are some Jews—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whom you have put in charge of the province of Babylon. They pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They refuse to serve your gods and do not worship the gold statue you have set up.’

 Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought before him. When they were brought in, Nebuchadnezzar said to them, ‘Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up? I will give you one more chance to bow down and worship the statue I have made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments. But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. And then what god will be able to rescue you from my power?’”

“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, ‘O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.’” ~Daniel 3:12-18

Peter and John

“While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees. These leaders were very disturbed that Peter and John were teaching the people that through Jesus there is a resurrection of the dead. They arrested them and, since it was already evening, put them in jail until morning. But many of the people who heard their message believed it, so the number of believers now totaled about 5,000 men, not counting women and children.

The next day the council of all the rulers and elders and teachers of religious law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, along with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and other relatives of the high priest. They brought in the two disciples and demanded, ‘By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?’”

“Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, ‘Rulers and elders of our people, are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed? Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,’”

   “‘The stone that you builders rejected

      has now become the cornerstone.’”

“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.’”

“The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there among them, there was nothing the council could say. So they ordered Peter and John out of the council chamber and conferred among themselves.”

“’What should we do with these men?’ they asked each other. ‘We can’t deny that they have performed a miraculous sign, and everybody in Jerusalem knows about it. But to keep them from spreading their propaganda any further, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in Jesus’ name again.’ So they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.’”

“But Peter and John replied, ‘Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.’”

“The council then threatened them further, but they finally let them go because they didn’t know how to punish them without starting a riot. For everyone was praising God” ~Acts 4:1-21

Stephen

Stephen’s account is too long to post, just read Acts 6:8 through 7:60.

Jesus

And last, but certainly not least, Jesus Christ

"Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. He said to them, 'The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be called a house of prayer, but you have turned it into a den of thieves!''" ~Matthew 21:12-13

John’s account tells us that Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. Why? Because they were corrupting God’s law of His Temple and the law of sacrifices; how they should be bought, sold, and otherwise handled.

Jesus would further stand up to the Sanhedrin on numerous occasions when they tried to deceive him by twisting and abusing the scriptures.

My point is simple; when those that God (Christ) has appointed to govern obey God and do justly, then they should be respected and obeyed. But, when those that God (Christ) appoints refuse to obey Him…then why do you expect us to obey them? If they are not following Jesus, then they are following Satan. And, I will not follow Satan.

Obama is corrupt and evil (don’t give me that “not evil, just wrong” slogan, he is evil) and he demands what he has not earned by abusing the public office he has no business holding.

"I Want the truth!"

Col. Jessep: “You want answers?”
Kaffee: “I want the truth!”
Col. Jessep: “You can't handle the truth!”
~A Few Good Men~

It’s time for another challenge to what you believe. It matters not if you can handle the truth…I’m giving it to you anyway.

Q. If I say chauvinist, what comes to mind?
A. A man.

Q. If I say domestic violence, what comes to mind?
A. A man beating a woman and/or children.

Q. If I say you've been brained washed by feminism, what would you say?
A. I don't know what you're talking about.

Lesson 1: consider the meaning of the word 'chauvinist':

2nd def. a person who believes one gender is superior to the other, as a male chauvinist or a female chauvinist. (source: Dictionary.com: Chauvinist)

Did you catch that, a person who believes one gender is superior to the other, "as a male or FEMALE chauvinist"?

So, why do we always think of men when we hear the word 'chauvinist'? Because, that's what female chauvinist (a.k.a. feminist) want you to think. It helps keep things nice and confused...just the way they like it.

Lesson 2: consider the definition of ‘domestic violence’:

acts of violence or abuse against a person living in one's household, especially a member of one's immediate family. (source: Dictionary.com: Domestic Violence)

What did you notice? The definition said “acts of violence or abuse against a PERSON living in one’s household, especially a MEMBER of one’s immediate family”. It didn’t read; “acts of violence exclusively perpetrated by men against women and children”. Which is an idea that is carried through practically every household, church, and school room across America. If you continue reading down the dictionary page you will see an encyclopedia entry that does just that.

And, in that brief entry there are no statistics given about men who are physically, verbally, and emotionally abused, or murdered by their girlfriends or wives.

Have you heard of the 1984 movie starring Farrah Fawcett called ‘The Burning Bed’? There’s a high probability you have; whether directly or indirectly.

Now, have you heard of the 1994 movie starring Judith Light called ‘Men Don’t Tell’? There’s an even higher probability…you haven’t.

Why? ‘The Burning Bed’ is about a wife being abused by her husband; ‘Men Don’t Tell’ is about a husband being abused by his wife.

The IMDB rating for ‘The Burning Bed’ is: 7.0/10 from 907 users, with reviews from 40 users | 1 critic.

The IMDB rating for ‘Men Don’t Tell’ is: 6.3/10 from 130 users. With reviews from 11 users.

Not many folks are interested in or have heard about ‘Men Don’t Tell’.

Statistics of abuse of women beating men:

Sheridan Hill writes in defense of battered men http://bit.ly/nSxfbV You make sure you read and swallow the male statistics shown in this article. (here’s the irony on this one, the article was written by a…feminist. Perhaps she’s not as “femnistic” as she thought she was?)

MenWeb-Domestic violence. 835,000 battered men each year, silent too Long... http://bit.ly/quYLT6

Women that Murder their own Children. http://bit.ly/pJVMyP (I threw this one in to prove a point I make in the last paragraph of my rant)

If you want to know why there are so little reports of women beating up on men, it is NOT because it’s not happening, it’s because the man runs the risk of having his manhood psychologically removed from him if he dares open his mouth; and this psycho surgery will be performed on him by two physicians; one male, the other female. But, that’s another monster, you got a HUGE taste of that psycho surgery in the article by Hill above, and I’ll address that in debt some other time…

So, am I trying to belittle violence against women and children? No, I am not. I’m just trying to get you to see that feminism MUST suppress the truth that women are just as capable of committing the same acts of violence that ALL men have been charged with through the ages regardless if a guy has ever done such things.

I don’t view men and women like everyone else does. I see them both for what they are; sinners and thus capable of great good and great evil. One’s gender means nothing to me in regard to this fact. But, it infuriates me when we only hear one side of the story. And, that’s what feminism has managed to do with both ‘chauvinism’ and ‘domestic violence’.

“But my feminist ideals are crumbling against the gender truths of the new millennium.” ~Sheridan Hill

Chemtrails: The Consequences of Toxic Metals and Chemical Aerosols on Human Health http://bit.ly/pnOdnU (I do not care about the super-go-greeners mentioned in this article, just focus on the Chemtrails. The reason why I’m not interested in the “scientists” mentioned is because any pretence of godly, that is to say, biblical, conservation of the Earth, like what Adam was doing at the start, has been thwarted the moment humanity took up the cause after the Fall. In other words, the current concept of “conservation” has more to do with power, money, and control, than it has to do with actually preserving the planet; it’s just another avenue for man to play “god”.)

HAARP http://bit.ly/qIGrvK

HAARP in action - collection http://bit.ly/mU5a6y

I’ve raised this thought in the past, and I’m raising it again. Consider the following scriptures, they all pretty much state the same thing:

“’And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.’” ~Matthew 24:6-8 (NLT)

“And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many parts of the world, as well as famines. But this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.’ ‘When these things begin to happen, watch out! You will be handed over to the local councils and beaten in the synagogues. You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are my followers. But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me.’” ~Mark 13:7-9 (NLT)

“Then he added, ‘Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven.’ ‘But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution. You will be dragged into synagogues and prisons, and you will stand trial before kings and governors because you are my followers.’” ~Luke 21:10-12 (NLT)

Now, you can clearly see what Jesus said, but did you notice what Jesus didn’t say?

You see, we always assume that it will be God (Christ) who would cause all these things but, Jesus never said that God would necessarily be the Author or cause of these earthquakes, famines, pestilences, “terrifying things,” and “miraculous signs from heaven,” and the like in the Last Days. (save for the book of Revelation when it is very specific that it is God pouring out His Judgment on a Christ rejecting world)

Remember, the Bible, itself, states that even demons are capable of producing miracles, signs, and wonders. (Revelation 13:12-15; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 19:20)

Even humans can perform “signs and wonders”. (Acts 8:9-11)

So is it reasonable to suggest that the signs, wonders, and miracles that Jesus talks about may be caused, not necessarily by God but, by us (or by us by way of demons)? Is it possible that Jesus is telling us that humanity itself (again, with the aid of demons) is the very signs of the end he’s been warning us about? So, would it also be safe to conclude that if we continue to ignore our god-complex issues, that we would, in affect, be ignoring the biggest warning sign God has given us of the End Times and of Christ’s imminent return?

You have to ask yourself this question; Would God (Christ) have any reason to cause all these things Himself in the Last Days? The answer, I believe, is, no.

In Old Testament times God did indeed caused famines, plagues, and such; He had reasons then; to show that He was/is God. Today, there’s no need for God to do such things. However, it is possible that He would allow us and/or demons to do such things today. Why? To show us that we have a deeper issue at hand that stems from our sin nature; a god-complex. It may well be that God is allowing us to do these things to prove that same point He made in Old Testament days; that He ALONE is God, and that any attempt by man to live otherwise will prove disastrous, and to show us that we will utterly destroy ourselves apart from Him as we try to pick up the mantle of “godhood”. It’s the Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel, all over again…but much, much more sinister.

Man playing “god” is one of many reasons, with reconciling man back to God being utmost in God’s heart, why Christ must return to put an end to, once and for all, Satan’s lie to man; “…and you will be like God…” ~Genesis 3:5 No, we will not; there is only ONE God, and we are NOT He. Isaiah 43:10

Just a little food for thought.

I disagree with this article on every conceivable level. I only agree with one point; that "religion" be kept out. However, NOT God.

The “problem” is not whether or not some claim to be persons of “faith”. The problem is two-fold;

1)      Are the presidential candidates followers of Jesus Christ? NOT whether or not they are Baptist; Pentecostal; Evangelical; Lutheran; Catholic; Seven Day Adventist; Mormon; Jehovah’s Witness; Episcopalian; etc. Most all of those are mere labels or denominations and does NOT PROVE following Jesus Christ as LORD, SAVIOR & GOD. Jesus NEVER came to start denominations…WE did that by obeying the earthly, and very humanly flawed, rule of; “agree to disagree”.

The author of the article said, in affect, that he rather follow a “good Atheist”, than a person who claims to be Christian and doesn’t follow through. Again, totally ignoring the problem of what I just said above; anyone can “claim” being a Christian…but do they FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST? If not, that’s a whole other, other and why they don’t follow through.

2) Those who claim to be “Christian” limit their belief and God’s ordinances by obeying the non-existent “Separation of Church and State” taken out of context from a letter that Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists http://bit.ly/o9Mq3u And thus, Christians believe that they cannot mention or live a Christ centered life…in the public square.

How idiotic is this?

As you read some of the comments, you will see the same problem as always; people are complaining about “religion” while totally ignoring God Almighty, unless they want to insult Him.

God, the CREATOR OF ALL cannot be mentioned in the Public Square or Government? That’s like telling a landlord that, although he may own the building and the land it sits on, he cannot collect rent nor set foot on the property…he OWNS….ever. Yes, it’s that asinine.

The scriptures is plain when it comes to God (Christ) and “government”:

God establishes and removes governments:

“And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.” ~ Daniel 2:21

“Now the LORD said to Samuel, 'How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.'” ~ 1 Samuel 16:1

“I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him, With whom My hand shall be established; Also My arm shall strengthen him.” ~Psalm 89:20-21

God leads leaders (governments) and fight for those who trust and acknowledge Him:

“Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before or after his time.” ~ 2 Kings 18:5

Read all of 2 Kings 18:19-2 Kings 19 to see how a King (head of a government) sought the LORD for help and deliverance from an invading…government.

“And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.” ~ 2 Chronicles 20:29

Go throughout scriptures and you will see God (Christ) in ALL aspect of people’s lives; life and death; true marriage; sex; child rearing; peace time; war time; personal relationships; law making; punishment; reconciliations; and even GOVERNMENT, among other things.

I also find it beyond infuriating when these people who harp on “separation of church and state” and unbelievers who love to quote the following:

“For the Lord’s sake, respect all human authority—whether the king as head of state, or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.” ~ 1 Peter 2:13-14

They don’t believe in God (Christ); they want God (Christ) out of ALL aspects of life; then demand that I, as a Christian, follow this scripture to suit their purposes? Umm…no, they will NOT have their cake and eat it too. If the godless want me to obey 1 Peter 2:13-14, then the godless had better expect, respect, and ACKNOWLEDGE that God (Christ) is EVERYWHERE in ALL parts of life…NO EXCEPTIONS. And, the truth of the matter is this; no matter whether these people acknowledge God (Christ) or not, He still RULES OVER ALL.

I’m tired of these BS games of the godless and those who push the myth of “separation of church and state” to further their desires. Mind you these are the same people who, under the Obama administration, have PUSHED IN THE “CHURCES” Obamacare and now the DREAM Act. Suddenly, there “is no spoon,” or “wall” in this case, Nero.

Humanity never fails to disappoint when displaying the idiocy of its supposed “intelligence” over God Almighty (Jesus Christ).

Why, Exactly, Do We Still Have the Poor?

Why do we still have “world hunger” when we have more than enough food and water to feed and quench the thirst of the world population several times over?

Simple. Everyone wants to “end” poverty, hunger, et al by giving aide. Aide is nice…but very, very…temporary…if the aide is received at all.

Why don’t we do the obvious? Show people, if they don’t know how (which I believe is rare) to grow their own livestock and crops, and how to secure and clean up their own water supply? That makes since doesn’t it?

Yes, it does…just not politically. You see, if people were taught to raise their own livestock and grow their own crops, as well as secure their own water supply…then those same people can no longer be used as political pawns by others to push their corrupt agendas.

For example; it’s the super go-greeners and the “Global Warming” scaremongers who are the ones preventing impoverished nations from developing, all under the guise of “protecting” the planet and the lowly peons who don’t know better. But, the real reasons are they don’t want the competition nor do they want to lose their pawns of power; as along as they can look at a poor nation and spin; “Look and see! These ‘poor’ people are suffering because of us! Give us more power, money, and control to help them!” Do you see the game? Because the more power, money, and control they get…the LESS they help the very people they feign concern over. Don’t believe that? Look around you at all the elitist who pull this ploy time and again; how much “help” have they really given impoverished nations that didn’t involved taking over the lives of said nations; dictating their every move and what they can and cannot produce or do?

So, to answer my own question; Why do we still have “world hunger” when we have more than enough food and water to feed and quench the thirst of the world population several times over?

Because the god-complex elitist prefer it this way because it garners them more power, money, and control.

You see when Jesus said; “You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to…” ~ Mark 14:7, we miss a few things.

A couple of points to note:

1)    People assume that the poor will always be around because they are simply poor, not understanding that there are two kinds of ‘poor’; True Poor and Fake Poor.

True Poor is a person or nation who are doing their best to make ends meet, but are hampered either by their surroundings, their health, or more likely, another person or nation (a.k.a. the elite). They are not thrilled with being poor and are doing their best to make a better way for themselves but are running into hindrances.

Fake Poor (or Willful Poor) are people or nations that can very well make their own way…but choose not to. Yes, they choose to horde what they have to help themselves and live off of others. They are fully able to produce and stand on their own, many times even more so than True Poor, but they don’t. They choose to be ‘poor’ to secure hand outs and freebies. In other words, they are arrogant and lazy.

Therefore, we don’t have the ‘poor’ just because they are poor. Like other things in life, being poor occurs because something lead up to it. The resistance against the True Poor to better their situation and the proliferation of the Fake Poor (or Willful Poor) are the reasons we “will always have the poor among” us.

2)    Jesus also said that; “…you can help them [the poor] whenever you want to…” Hm, “whenever we want to”. This goes back to what I’ve already said; there are those among us that don’t want to truly help others out of poverty for it goes against the goals of their twisted agendas. Like I also said, aide has it’s place, but aide is also short lived…if it’s even received in the first place. We should be teaching people to use aide as a jump point to stand on their own; we should be teaching people to raise and grow their own food and secure their own water…then encourage them to help others in the way they’ve been helped. In that way, everyone becomes self sufficient, with the desire to help others become self sufficient and thereafter taking aide only when necessary.

Finally, Jesus would also say; ““No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.’

‘That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?’

‘And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?’

‘So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.’

‘So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.’” ~ Matthew 6:24-34

God gave us the solutions, but there again, are those who would suppress these solutions to further themselves; i.e. the U.N.; “Green” movements; governments bureaucracies; corrupt “leaders”; corrupt churches; et al.

Class dismissed.

Why Laws Don't Matter

I have read numerous posts on why Obama should remain sitting “president” even if he’s found to be illegitimate; the problems of removing his executive orders, bills, laws, et al would be catastrophic.

Those aren’t major concerns to me for one reason; what about the damage that will be felt by countless generations to come if those acts aren’t appealed? You see, everyone looks exclusively to the present, without much forethought to the many generations to come. It’s only the current pains they are consumed with, rather than the perpetual pains that will ensue.

It’s like cancer; if you catch it early, you have a better than average chance of surviving it. Will there be pain involved? Sure. But, isn’t that present pain worth dealing with better than letting the cancer go untreated to the point where there is more pain later and treating it at that latter stage could mean your death? Think about it.

And that’s what we’ve done by pussyfooting around with Obama’s “Birth Certificate”. LibProgs, Conservatives, and Independents alike have derided, mocked, and ridiculed anyone who speaks out about the issue, and they have hampered and hindered at every turn anyone who has tried to get to the truth about Obama. Thus, the very claim that some of these people say they want (overwhelming evidence) cannot be obtained because of the never ending stonewalling.

You see LibProgs use a tactic developed by Satan a long time ago; it doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, all they have to do is keep doing it long enough so that an evil becomes the “norm”; that is, keep an evil or illegal thing going for so long that it would just be better to keep the thing than to remove it. The illegal, by sheer fact that it’s been allowed to go unchallenged for so long, instantly becomes…legal, due to possible “pains” that could result if anyone tried to remove it later. Just like cancer. Follow?

Don’t believe me? I said this in the past, go to your cupboard and see how many products you have that have Spanish on it; LibProgs have made it the “norm” for illegal aliens. Now, try to get your grocers and manufacturers to remove the side-by-side English/Spanish on their products.

Try and get a Republican or Conservative to actually commit to real action on getting Obamacare removed or repealed. That cancer node has taken root around major organs already.

I could go on, but you get the gist of it; the evil or illegal has been made legal by virtue of…time unchallenged.

Which leads to a greater danger that people who are “satisfied” with Obama’s status probably never considered; why have laws if you’ll never obey them to right wrongs because of fears of current pains? If time makes illegal legal, and evil good, then time can also make laws void. You’re going to have to deal with pain either way, but if you wait too long the pain of removal will just be all the more painful. Therefore, forcing you to leave the condition in place...until it consumes you.

So, Obama gets away (in the earthly realm) scot-free with his illegal actions and no one will dare remove him because of fear of current “pains”.

Bravo, America, you have proven your utter failure to abide by your own laws as you let time unchallenged dictate what is “legal”. You have made the rule of law, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and any other legal document governing this country fall to the way side of time; relics of the past to be laughed at or mourned over.

So, will you learn, America? Sadly, I highly doubt it, not until we get away from this “Well, it’s been going on for so long…therefore, it’s just better to…” mentality.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
A Time for Everything

“ For everything there is a season,
      a time for every activity under heaven.
  A time to be born and a time to die.
      A time to plant and a time to harvest.
  A time to kill and a time to heal.
      A time to tear down and a time to build up.
  A time to cry and a time to laugh.
      A time to grieve and a time to dance.
  A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
      A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
  A time to search and a time to quit searching.
      A time to keep and a time to throw away.
  A time to tear and a time to mend.
      A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
  A time to love and a time to hate.
      A time for war and a time for peace.”

But, clearly, humanly speaking, there’s no time for the truth.

God help us.

The Skinny on the Rapture

I held off saying anything about the “pastor” who keeps predicting the Rapture, because I wanted to deal with this in one shot.

I DO NOT CARE, if a person goes to church; I DO NOT CARE if a person says they are a “pastor”; I DO NOT CARE, if a person is claiming to be quoting bible prophecy; if they are doing things God clearly says DO NOT DO, they are working for Satan, who does these idiotic things to make people DOUBT GOD. It’s the old; “Has God really said…” deal, Satan ran on Eve.

No, Satan. No, believer. No, non-believer. No, false prophet. God did NOT say we would be Raptured on May 21, 2011 at 6:00pm (ANY standard/Day Light Saving time); or 1994; or any specific date. What God said is this, and I highly suggest you PAY STRICT ATTENTION;

Matthew 24:1-44 (NLT) My emphasis in CAPS

Jesus Foretells the Future

 1 As Jesus was leaving the Temple grounds, his disciples pointed out to him the various Temple buildings. 2 But he responded, “Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!”

 3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?”

 4 Jesus told them, “DON’T LET ANYONE MISLEAD YOU, 5 for MANY will COME IN MY NAME, claiming, ‘I AM THE MESSIAH.’ They will DECIEVE MANY. 6 And you will hear of WARS and THREATS OF WARS, but don’t panic. YES, THESE THINGS MUST TAKE PLACE, BUT THE END WON’T FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8 BUT ALL THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST OF THE BIRTH PAINS, WITH MORE TO COME.

 9 “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers. 10 And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11 AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL APPEAR AND WILL DECEIVE MANY PEOPLE. 12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 AND THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED THROUGOUT THE WHOLE WORLD, SO THAT ALL NATIONS WILL HEAR IT; AND THEN THE END WILL COME.

 15 “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.” (READER, PAY ATTENTION!) 16 “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. 17 A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. 18 A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. 19 How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. 20 And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again. 22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.

 23 “THEN IF ANYONE TELLS YOU, ‘LOOK, HERE IS THE MESSIAH,’ or ‘THERE HE IS,’ DON’T BELIEVE IT. 24 For FALSE MESSIAHS and FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE UP AND PERFORM GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS SO AS TO DECIEVE, IF POSSIBLE, EVEN GOD’S CHOSEN ONES. 25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.

 26 “So if someone tells you, ‘LOOK, THE MESSIAH IS OUT IN THE DESERT,’ DON’T BOTHER TO GO AND LOOK. Or, ‘LOOK, HE IS HINDING HERE’ DON’T BELIEVE IT! 27 For as THE LIGHTNING FLASES IN THE EAST AND SHINES TO THE WEST, SO IT WILL BE WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMES. 28 Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near.

 29 “Immediately after the anguish of those days,

   the sun will be darkened,

      the moon will give no light,

   the stars will fall from the sky,

      and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

 30 And then at last, THE SIGN THAT THE SON OF MAN IS COMING WILL APPEAR IN THE HEAVENS, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. 31 And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

 32 “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

(THIS IS KEY!!!) 36 “HOWEVER, NO ONE KNOWS THE DAY OR HOUR WHEN THESE THINGS WILL HAPPEN, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN OR THE SON HIMSELF. ONLY TH FATHER KNOWS.

 37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

 40 “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.

 42 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. 43 Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. 44 YOU ALSO MUST BE READY ALL THE TIME, FOR THE SON OF MAN WILL COME WHEN LEAST EXPECTED.”

THAT is what God Almighty has said. He clearly says what must take place before the end comes. You have to ask yourself some questions, like; “Has the Gospel been preached throughout the whole world, yet?” No, there are some countries who banned the Bible, so the Word of God is not available to those parts of the world…yet.

The bible, in the Old Testament, gave a litmus test for so-called “Prophets of God”;

Deuteronomy 18:15-22 (NLT)

True and False Prophets

 15 Moses continued, “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you yourselves requested of the Lord your God when you were assembled at Mount Sinai. You said, ‘Don’t let us hear the voice of the Lord our God anymore or see this blazing fire, for we will die.’

 17 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘What they have said is right. 18 I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell the people everything I command him. 19 I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf. 20 But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’

 21 “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ 22 If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared.

As a caveat for those who may try to defend the Harold Camping “prophecy”. Know this, it is possible for a prophet of God to make a prophecy and it NOT come true and still be a genuine prophet. You must understand that many prophecies are…warnings. Think of Jonah, God told Jonah to warn Nineveh of a terrible judgment heading their way if they did not repent of their sins. Jonah warned Nineveh, although reluctantly, and they REPENTED, so God did NOT destroy them. Jonah even lamented that he didn’t want to warn Nineveh because he knew God is loving and forgiving and would NOT destroy them if they turned from their wicked ways. That was the whole purpose of the prophecy; to warn to repentance. But, Camping was not warning anyone to repent so they could be saved…instead, he was flat out saying that the Rapture was going to occur at 6pm on May 21, 2011; he was speaking presumptuously. So, he has no defense. All he managed to do, again, was get non-believers to mock and deny God even more than they already do; which was Satan’s plan all along. Starting to see the big picture?

God wants us to be ready, at all times, for His eminent return. Why doesn’t God want us to know the exact hour of His return?

Think with me, if you left your teens home alone and told them no parties and to behave themselves and you told them that you would be home at 11pm, what would they likely do, especially if they are today’s teens? They would blatantly disobey you and party like nobodies business. All, they have to do is make sure the house is clean before 11pm, so to cover up their disobedience. And, unless you’re a keen parent…you wouldn’t be the wiser.

Same scenario, but this time you did NOT tell your kids at what hour you’d be home. How would those same kids behave? It’s not likely they would risk a party because they only knew that you would be home at any moment…but not WHEN.

The same goes for God; He knows if He told us the exact hour of His return, we would sin like a prairie fire ravaging a countryside, knowing that all we had to do was “repent” in the final minutes before His return.

If you were God, being omniscient, would you buy such “repentance”? Not likely, so why should Christ?

Are you understanding now?

Just follow Jesus, and you’ll be prepared; Jesus summed it up best; “YOU ALSO MUST BE READY ALL THE TIME, FOR THE SON OF MAN WILL COME WHEN LEAST EXPECTED.” ~ Matthew 24:44 (NLT)

Stop looking for the Rapture, instead, be ready for the Rapture.
