If I had my way, I would burn every New International Version of the Bible in existence! I would burn every copy of Today's International Version as well. I would burn every copy of the corrupted New King James Version. In fact, I would burn every perverted Bible out there, including the Living Bible and Good News for Modern Man. I would burn the Revised Standard Version. God only wrote one book folks! Matthew 4:4 commands us to live by "every word" of the Bible. To do that we must have an "every word" Bible. We have it in the 1611 King James Bible which has been tested and proven trustworthy over the centuries.

If these bureaucrats are going to say that we can’t mention Creation anywhere in school, I ask them this question: Are you telling me that the Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional? Because the Declaration of Independence talks about our Creator, it says we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, it says that we were created. Please don’t tell me the Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional. I think I know what Thomas Jefferson would do, the man who said that taxation without representation is tyranny, if he were to come back to America today and find that his tax dollars were going to pay public school teachers to teach his school children that his Declaration of Independence was unconstitutional, I think he’d start the Second American Revolution.

You mix up the Muslim part of him [Obama] and you throw in the Marxist part of him, what do you got? You got a totalitarian with a tendency to chop off heads. He has no idea how to act but he is dedicated to the overthrow of America. Since the early years as he was taught, America is an evil thing. It is the Great Satan on the Muslim side and on the commie side from his grandparents he was taught that the proletariat would rise up against the bourgeoisie and the workers’ state could be brought to bear in the United States. Of course, that is partly what he’s after, now that’s after he becomes the Twelfth Imam.

[Garrow claims Obama will fake communication with aliens]

The deal that’s been given to Obama, he has been given the assignment, the task, in order to put his place in history, this is going to be the defining moment for Obama that separates him from everybody, there will be an announcement soon that there has been contact on a number of different fronts with a number of different nations from alien life forms and that Mr. Obama has been asked by the collective community of the world, the United Nations included, to be the spokesperson for the world to this alien race. Of course the alien race has also requested that the most powerful nation in the world be represented as the people that they want to talk to. This will fix in time and space the fact that the alien presence is going to be made known to the rest of the world, all over the world at the same time and that Mr. Obama has been chosen to be the one to communicate, to be the communicator.

[...]

And I believe the announcement is supposed to be made in Roswell, New Mexico, Area 51.

"PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon woman on trial for the murder of her 4-year-old son believed the boy was gay and that was a motive behind the deadly beatings, a prosecutor said.

Jessica Dutro's son Zachary died in August 2012, days after collapsing at the homeless shelter where his family was living southwest of Portland.

Washington County Judge Don Letourneau ruled Wednesday, after jurors were released for the day, that a Facebook message from Dutro to her boyfriend was admissible evidence, The Oregonian newspaper reported (http://is.gd/rfralf ).

In the message, Dutro told her boyfriend, Brian Canady, that Zachary was "facing the wall" because he had made her angry.

Her son was going to be gay, she wrote, using a slur. "He walks and talks like it. Ugh."

Canady would have to "work on" Zachary, she wrote.

The message established Dutro's motive for inflicting a pattern of abuse, prosecutor Megan Johnson said. Dutro assaulted three of her children, but Zachary received the harshest treatment, authorities said.

The judge ruled additional web searches done by Dutro were also admissible. On Aug. 16, 2012, the day her son's life support was terminated, Dutro searched terms such as anger management and parenting classes, prosecutors said. She also searched listings for free stuff and sex with strangers, they said.

Earlier this month, Canady pleaded guilty to manslaughter and assault for his role in the homicide.

The boy died of blunt-force trauma to his abdomen and a delay in medical treatment, prosecutors said.

Dutro, 25, is charged with murder, murder by abuse and second-degree assault."

[Another fundie has stated that they believe that gays should have rights, and said, "Nobody in their right mind wants to live in a society that executes homosexuals just for being do they?"]

One would immediately answer the question (bolded) with a 'no'; but then the thought comes, what would Jesus do or what will Jesus do when he is King Jesus and ruling with a rod of iron? Will he enforce the Levitical standard? If yes, then execution for such behavior will be done. As I understand it, the main point of these standards was not for punishment, but for the protection of society.

Maranatha, Jesus come!

Quote# 100325

America is religiously and morally schizophrenic. Built on a foundation of Christian law it has been hijacked by secular relativists. Secularism is NO less a religion than any other faith, yet it is arguably the most subjective of them all. The only answer for the United States judicial system is to return to our tried-and-true Christian heritage.

Some people argue this would mean having a “church dominated state." This is not in accordance with our history or the facts. While there is a legitimate way to speak of the separate spheres or jurisdictions of church and state, both are subject to God and his standards of justice. All spheres of jurisdiction are responsible to God; the individual, the family, the church and the civil government. Because God is the only legitimate source of justice, you cannot separate God from government.

Currently we are under the arbitrary god of humanistic secularism that makes an idol of the machinations of man. May the "laws of nature and nature's God", revealed in scripture, be our moral compass, not the clever deductions of black-robed tyrants.

This landmark ruling regarding Hobby Lobby will answer the question, "is there room in America anymore for Christian based business?"

The idea that :everyone needs a high school diploma , came from the worldwide Socialist movement.
Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic are achieved by 5th grade.

We would still have a manufacturing workforce, had we not stuffed American boys into a room full of girls during their apprenticeship years.

University began at 13 yrs old, for those who would pursue higher ed., remember? Ministers would begin to fill pulpits or hold meetings at 14.

Show me where the last 100 years took the U.S. society. Crime Rate? Bastards? Sodomy? Illiteracy ? Gambling? Debt?
"Education" isnt important, Work is.
Those who are designed for it, will seek it.
How many "educated" people abhor labor?
How many couldnt tune up their car?
How many have to call a plumber, if their toilet stops up?
Wisdom doesnt come from education.
Knowledge begins with the fear of God, which our public institutions have Systemically rejected.

How much of our divorce rate is caused by unhapiness created by fornication that occurs in H.S., and College? How much Atheism?

These be thy gods, O Israel...dance around the Golden Diploma...

"I need to be clear on this point: Are you telling me that Satan is literally working to confound your plans to release this game? You’re saying that the actual Devil is scheming against you?"

I’m sitting in a nondescript office in an unremarkable neighborhood in Bakersfield, CA, interviewing three men about their plans for a Biblical game based on the life of Abraham.

"I believe that, 100 percent," replies Richard Gaeta, a co-founder of Phoenix Interactive. He argues that since the launch of the Kickstarter for Bible Chronicles: The Call of Abraham, trouble has come into all their lives. [Emphasis added]

"It’s very tangible," adds his business partner Martin Bertram. "From projects falling through and people that were lined up to help us make this a success falling through. Lots of factors raining down on us like fire and brimstone."

Nobody is winking or joking or pulling my leg. There is no irony here. They are absolutely serious.

In the end, the game's Kickstarter raised only $19,000 of its $100,000 target. The game, which follows the life of Abraham, a central figure in Judaism, Islam and Christianity, is now seeking alternative fund-raising efforts.

"If Satan is rallying some of his resources to forestall, delay, or kill this project, I think, this must be a perceived threat to his kingdom," adds Ken Frech, a religious mentor to the project. "I fully would expect something like this to have spiritual warfare. Look at the gospel accounts of demons and so forth. That’s reality. Many Americans don’t believe it anymore. That doesn’t change reality."

Palestinian Cannibalism

Having previously taught their children from the youngest age to kill the Jews, bathe in their blood, and play with their body parts (all of these are documented REALITIES that have actually occurred), now they are teaching their children to EAT the enemy. Yes, you heard that right.

“I think you got to remember from the Bible, if you look carefully at the Bible what would have happened in Jesus’ time if two men decided they wanted to cohabit together, they would have been stoned to death,” Robertson said. “So Jesus would not have baked them a wedding cake nor would he have made them a bed to sleep in because they wouldn’t have been there. But we don’t have that in this country here so that’s the way it is.” (Robertson’s claim that Jesus would never have encountered a same-sex couple is a matter of debate.)

Robertson added: “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have to recognize what I said a few years ago, at that point homosexual marriage was condemned, homosexuality itself was considered a pathology and now those that are practicing that activity have turned and become the oppressors of those who hold deeply-held religious points of view, the tables have turned.”

“What is it about gays? What is it about abortion? Have you ever thought why they’re on the forefront right now? Both of them deny the reproduction of human species,” Robertson said, adding that homosexuality is “a meaningless exercise because it doesn’t go anywhere.”

“The Devil is trying to say, ‘I’m going to destroy your progeny any way I can. If you will kill your babies, that’s fine, I’m with you; if you will deny the chance of having babies, that’s fine too; but I want to destroy your opportunities to reproduce,’” he said. “It’s a very serious thing and we’re not talking about it, and we need to as a society, we have to realize where the attack is coming because it is definitely an attack.”

Co-host Wendy Griffith agreed: “The Devil wants to steal, kill and destroy. Well said Pat.”

A Harlem pastor known for posting homophobic messages on a sign outside his church blasted gays as “outright bullies” Sunday after a vandal painted “God is Gay” on the message board.

A male suspect is being sought for spray-painting the retaliatory message on both sides of the sign outside the ATLAH World Missionary Church on W. 123rd St. near Lenox Ave., police said Sunday. The vandal struck early Saturday.

Pastor James David Manning in the past has used the sign to display messages such as “Jesus would stone homos” and “Harlem is a homo-free zone.”

Manning lashed out at the vandal when reached by the Daily News on Sunday.

“Gay people are just outright bullies,” he said. “I expected them to act in a very violent way.” [Emphasis added]

Natural selection in the evolutionary view is not guided by a mind. Anything produced by evolution (or by natural selection) is therefore accidental. Thus, if evolution is true, then people are accidents by definition since they are produced “without a deliberate plan or cause.” So this confirms what we wrote early, and refutes Robert’s previous claim.

[DoctorDoom cites the anti-gay Lambda Report on Homosexual Activism to show that most gay males have hundreds of sexual partners.]

Another tedious teenage troll from the FISTED septic tank defecates on our doorstep.

The "error":

24 percent of gay men had over 100 partners
43 percent of gay men had over 500 partners
28 percent of gay men had over 1000 partners

As written, it is vague. However, it is safe to conclude that each line is based on the percentage of gay men referred to in the previous line, i.e.:

1. 24 percent of gay men had over 100 partners
2. 43 percent of the men in line 1 had over 500 partners
3. 28 percent of the men in line 2 had over 1000 partners

IAC, the promiscuity of the gay "lifestyle" is not only well known and described in many citations in post #8, but it is defended by the extremists.

"Now there is a move toward claiming that this (promiscuity) is part of a different, perhaps even superior, way of managing sexual relationships... The assumption that it is desirable to have frequent and varied sex partners is increasingly seen as a positive part of gay life style."
-- Dennis Altman, "The Homosexualization of America, The Americanization of the Homosexual, (NY: St. Martin's Press, 1982) pp. 16-7

Gay liberation was founded on a "sexual brotherhood of promiscuity", and "any abandonment of that promiscuity would amount to a communal betrayal of gargantuan proportions."
-- Rotello, G. (1997). Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men. NY: Dutton

A "lifestyle" that consists largely of random sexual encounters with strangers and "cruising" for blowjobs or butthumping has nothing whatever to recommend it. There is not a trace of feeling, let alone love, in the daily quest for the next orgasm. In the respect of endless lust for new "partners", it's not much different than the heterosexual equivalent. However, gay sexual behavior is by its nature more dangerous in a medical sense.

Come back when you get through puberty, kid.

{response to scientific evidence backing up the Big Bang theory)

This is so stupid. Almost as stupid as the "evidence" of Neanderthals and carbon dating.

I wonder, why do Christians even care how it happened? God said He did it in six days, He didn't say the six days was equivalent to 6000 years, no, He said six literal days. So if God says the earth was created in six literal days, as Christians, as followers of His, we ought to believe Him. Even if we think we've found something unfortunately from this side of eternity things are skewed. And if for some reason it was 6000 years, or 6 million years, does it really matter? In the end He is God and that's just the way it is.

Quote# 100305

You're sitting in the doctor's office, and he comes in to tell you the results of your biopsy. You have a malignant tumor, and only a massive surgery will save your life. If the cancer is not cut out, it will spread, and it will kill you.

In response to this news, you get very angry with your doctor. How dare he tell you that part of your body is bad? How dare he tell you to divide the body into good parts and bad parts? He's being very negative! Why can't he just talk about all of the good parts of your body that are working just fine? Why can't he just tell you how to eat a nutritional diet? Does anyone know what your doctor is for? He spends all his time telling you what he's against!

--------------------------------

Everyone reading this parable immediately understands that it is utterly foolish to blame the messenger. It's not your doctor's fault that you have cancer. He's only delivering the news.

But if you replace "cancer" in the above parable with "heresy", there is suddenly less agreement. But why? Is Spiritual Cancer somehow less bad than physical cancer? Why do we attack and vilify spiritual doctors who deliver bad news? To put it more bluntly:

How many more people have to die (spiritually or even physically) before you start caring?
