ConceptGaming - So I read threw your article. Believe me, I was truly saved, and all I wanted to do was be the best christian I could be.
Another thing, in the Unites States, atheists are the most hated minority.

bprice144 says - c0nceptGaming, you were not truly saved. I am sorry. But you cannot convince me that you ever knew the Lord, because on judgment day, you will hear Jesus say to you, "I NEVER knew you. Depart from me ye that work iniquity." - Matthew 7:23
If he never knew you, then I think that says it all. You were never his, otherwise, you would have continued with us.

"38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." - Hebrews 10:38-39

Notice it says, we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, which word means utter loss or ruin. Which is what happened to you. You were never saved to begin with because we true Christians are not of you who draw back to perdition.

The Bible also says we are kept by the power of God in 1 Peter chapter 1. So no matter how much you or any other atheist may fight against God to snatch us out of his hands, you will never succeed because Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." - John 10:27-28.

Likewise, you are absolutely wrong about atheists being the most hated minority group. True, born again, Bible believing Christians are the most hated minority group, because again, Jesus said, "And ye shall be hated of ALL MEN for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." - Matthew 10:22.

If atheists were so hated and despised by the world, then why do we have a secular government, a secular school system, and why is secular humanism the only acceptable way to be in America and in any other prosperous nation? If you believe in God, you are looked at like an idiot.

. You have no evidence for interbreeding leading to new and different animals. A dog is a dog is a dog. You are desperately trying to work around the 'kind' barrier God put up n the beginning and it doesn't work.
Evolution predicts that cats do not give birth to dolphins?? ha ha, that is stating th eobvious not a scientific fact. The Bible already told us that in the Genesis, you are a little bit behind the curve.
an untrained lay person?? so your theory can only be seen by the elite who set the rules for the theory. how quaint and unfair and how circular in reasoning. with creation and the Bible God set the rules and everyone can see the truth, trained or otherwise.
You have no evidence as the idea of predictions comes from pseudo-science not real science. Plus your predictions have not been 100% accurate, so you reallly do not have that idea to stand upon.

Quote# 103545

When a woman puts on tefillin, or wears a yalmulka (a man's head covering) or tzitzit (a man's fringed garment), her spiritual life becomes confused.

[...]

When a woman tries to fulfill herself with a man's spiritual role, if she is "successful" she will pull herself away from the particular role that she was created to fulfill.

Jewish men have certain needs that Jewish women do not have. For instance, a male can very easily become extremely excited just through his imagination. A woman requires more physicality. This is not merely a physical or emotional characteristic since the physical and emotional reflect the spiritual.

Women want to be wanted. This is a strong part of their makeup. Men do not particularly want to be wanted. Men WANT!

Men are more competitive and aggressive by nature, so learning Gemora (Talmud) engages these characteristics. Competition and aggression are not primary needs for a woman.

Given these differences, among many others, each gender has been given spiritual solutions to satisfy his or her needs.

Tefillin do elevate the soul. So how does a woman receive this essential spiritual elevation? She receives it from her husband, and from her sons, when they put on their tefillin.

A Jewish marriage is not two equal partners coming together to form a balanced partnership. A Jewish marriage is two halves coming together to form a single one. Each contributes his or her share, according to their nature and abilities so the whole will excel.

It would not be unusual for a woman who excels in learning Gemora, and loves to put on tefillin, to want to forgo the bother of having children, because children would take her away from the spiritual things that she loves to do. Where would this leave the Jewish people? Not to mention those souls who are waiting to come into life through that Jewish woman.

Quote# 103536

In 2010, Hollywood actress Julia Roberts shamefully converted over to Hinduism. This is so sad. Just as golfer Tiger Woods (who is a devout member of Buddhism), Roberts will find out in eternity that there is NO forgiveness of sins in either Hinduism or Buddhism. Neither Buddha not the multiple gods of Hinduism can save anybody. The Bible proclaims that there's NO salvation in any other name than the precious NAME OF JESUS CHRIST...

Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (King James Bible)

Biblically, faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven. Hinduism is a lie of the Devil and a certain path to the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). Hinduism's gods cannot save you from the judgment of God.

Hindus argue that they are not polytheists, teaching that their thousands of gods are merely expressionsof their one god, Brahma. Someone has likened Hinduism's gods to the rays of the sun, which are not the sun, but are emitted by the sun. Hinduism teaches that Brahma is the creator (who is one of Hinduism's three major deities (a trinity) from which all other deities originate. Clearly, Hinduism is a poor imitation of Biblical Christianity.

[...]

As you've just read, Hinduism is a New World Order religion, promoting unity between all denominations and faiths. Only Biblical Christianity is INTOLERANT of other faiths. The reason is because religion is not God's plan of salvation. The world's religions are saturated with false prophets who teach self-righteousness instead of the Word of God from the Bible.

Who's going to condemn you since Hindus have no official dogma nor headquarters? Anything goes in Hinduism!!! Hindus deny being merely a religion. They also lean heavily upon culture and tradition. Biblically, Hinduism is a false religion of Satan. 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15 plainly teaches us that Satan is a deceiver and also his ministers of unrighteousness, appearing as the good guys. Honestly, Hinduism makes people do crazy things. Hindu's view all life as sacred, especially cows. If a cow is laying in the road, they'll sit in traffic waiting for hours for the animal to move. I'd make ground beef out of the cow.

The Bible warns us about ANOTHER gospel, ANOTHER Jesus and ANOTHER spirit in 2nd Corinthians 11:3. Hinduism is a demonic religion which denies Jesus as the Christ entirely, denies the Bible as God's inspired Words and teaches a false way. In Hinduism you get to make up your own beliefs...

I recongized that I had similar experiences like Johanna Michaelsen since I was a small kid that fell into my involvement of occult when I practiced witchcraft. I experienced frequently visions, dreams, and hallunications. How greatly wrong I am! I finally accepted Lord Jesus as Lord and Savior and renounced my involvement of occult. I prayfully am looking a way to end the pyschic powers with Lord's guidance.
In 1997, When I ordered and read this book, the demons manifested and oppressed me! It lasted two seasons until I confessed every sins from birth to present in Jesus' name. Yes, that is so real. Be careful when read this book.
I strongly recommend this book as excellent education tools to everyone who was involved with occult and want to repent toward Lord Jesus Christ. Also, I strongly recommend that Dr. Rebecca Brown's books ("He Came To Set The Captives Free", "Prepare For War", "Becoming A Vessel of Honor", and "Unbroken Curses") for everyone

(in response to Bill Nye pleading with parents to properly educate their children)

I agree! Parents need to “properly educate their children.” This would include teaching them the truth about evolution in order to prepare them to face the zealots who peddle their evolution religion under the guise of science. Part Four of The Creation Seminar entitled, “Lies in the Textbooks,” and my books: Help! I’m Being Taught Evolution in my Earth Science Class!, and, Help! I’m Being Taught Evolution in my Biology Class! would be a great start for curriculum!

President Obama addresses the nation on the ISIL.... (by the White House) on youtube.
I am telling you that the address was completely Computer Graphics.

One clue is there are frames missing on the time line at the beginning and at the end.
At the end, O goes from being before the podium to having his back turned and being 15 feet away in one frame - one second.
And yet in the vid he walks away. Same at the beginning- no frames but he takes 6 steps to the podium.
Check it out.

I don't want to derail this post but this info is connected-

My perception is this is a test run for the new tech.

TV Networks Refuse to Renew Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s Cosmos for a Season Two

Haywood Bynum III
 TopekasNews 


 Hollywood, CA – Citing low ratings and pockets of public outrage due to the show’s controversial content, TV networks and cable broadcasters have refused to renew Cosmos:  A Spacetime Odyssey for a second and final season.  The final episode of this horribly dangerous show will air June 9th, 2014, then face eternal cancellation.
With only nine episodes, Cosmos has greatly angered the moral majority of America.  It is one thing to espouse bizarre theories of ‘magical’ Big Bang explosions that come from nothing and try to claim that human life started with endosymbiotic bacteria that evolved to a species that can contemplate colonizing mars* with space ships, but to air such things on television to a captive audience, is just patently criminal and unfair.

Seth McFarlane, the creator of controversial children’s cartoon South Park, is no stranger to twisting the truth to his own design and manipulating the weak minded to influence their future decisions.  Cosmos is marketed to the innocent, to the laypeople of America and kids who want to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson zoom around space in his fancy “Ship of the Imagination”, a CGI Fx that is just as fake as all the glitzy theories he throws around as fact in every episode.

With the type of eye-candy he uses in his spinoff children’s cartoon series Futurama, Seth McFarlane knows how to capture the mind of children.  He then uses the boomy, soothing bellows of Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s baritone narrative to woo housewives into watching this show, while husbands are left watching it as well to see what all the fuss is about.

All across the nation, this dangerous show has captivated good, Christian nuclear families and it has confused their understanding of Creationism with unverified scientific ‘fact’.  And it is that fact that makes this show so dangerous and unfit for the airwaves.

I personally think the fire tornado that struck a Missouri town who refused to cancel Cosmos last week scared tv executives.  They knew that if they continued to air a show that so many righteous people are against, that nature itself starts unleashing supernatural fury, that the show is just too much and should be cancelled.

My prayers will be answered on June 9th and I can only hope and pray that not too many minds were ruined due to this horrible, fake show.

*mars is not capitalized in this article because the name of the planet is a Romeo-Wiccan Illuminati conspiracy to get everyone to accept the name of ‘Mars’ as a fact of science, when in reality mars was a false god of war and most likely just a demon trying to make humans sin during the height of the Greek and Roman empires.

Beer is often sold at football games. Beer has NOTHING to do with football and beer does NOT ever produce better athletes by frequent association with football. It is true that the evolution religion is unfortunately often mixed with science books, but it will never become science by virtue of frequent association with real science. Evolution needs to be taught in a RELIGION class at school or maybe an “ancient mythology” class, but NOT in a SCIENCE class.

Quote# 103502

1 Reason...

Male homosexuality leads to a disgusting deplorable society in time and women are instinctually aware of that, Female homosexuality leads to... nothing particularly tragic for everyone else.


Before you all bash my brains in just listen and really think about it.

A: Disease

Women barely ever spread STD's to each other... it's that damn garden hose of our spewing stuff all over...

okay, the only thing that keeps Men in check from a constant desire to
Mate is the sanity of women and their avoidance of the topic... (being particular about who they shag)

Left alone Men screw constantly and with far more partners

NOT ALL

But go to a gay nightclub... combine Meth or even Booze with a male sex drive unrestrained it gets Raunchy... some guys keep Hundreds of partners... That's a recipe for Disease

If your wife has sex with a woman are you at risk... no, but your husband gets buggered by a man... are you at risk... hell Yeah you are...of DEATH

Not a turn on

Then there's ANAL... your going to draw Blood in small amounts every time 2 men do it...

Not good to avoid disease

Women tend to be clean and care for themselves more... the risks of Male gay behavior...disease, many partners, involving the Poop Hole... just not a turn on for women, risk, huge risks

Before you bash me...

I was going to the Empire State building with my class when I was 8

There I saw my First Homosexual Male...1978, Gay Orgy Club time pre Aids...

Man wore a shirt on line that said:

"500 Man Fisting party"

Okay NOT HOT to a Chick... guy took 500 fists up his rear end...

That is men left alone with unrestrained sex... NOT GOOD

B: Sexual Reality

Men... despite all bravado and desire... limited sex drive built in chemical process to make us pass out

Women need... more sex, men we burn out

Your man having a Man in his life means... exhaustion, you get nada from either guy, less not more

A woman...when they wear a Guy out... keep going together, it's good sex for HER

Unless 2 guys were focused on her, not each other, she's going to end up with 2 passed out chumps instead of one

Remember... guys sexual peak is 20 Women 35

By the time your that age... man have to work at it to keep up, especially if she has had a couple of babies, giving her the orgasm flow when she is peaked out at my age is not as easy as it is when a girl is 19 and it's all new and your at no 1 position...

There is no viable sex life for a guy exhausting himself with men...

so women are

at risk

and have nothing to gain sexually

So they don't like to think of their guys going Gay


Even more

Gay Men can get sex when ever they want just like women... The world exists on Men doing WORK to impress Women...

Men start Gaying out like Women can just play... they don't need Women so much do they?

Nor do they need to advance much from, waiting tables or painting...

Not much a Womans agenda to take risks with men leaving their position of Financial Bondage is there?

Lets also add cleanliness

Some women might find the thought or image of one Man dominating another Hot

But when 2 women have se it ends in a hot sexy orgasm

2 Men... the ending can be...urrr Grotesque

Not to be graphic but when the last sight you see when your husband or lover cums with a man... might be an explosive organic Enema of a result on your bed sheets

It probably goes from Hot to Not in an instant for most women...

Things like crying in pain from rectal taring, or a giant scat moment just... isn't the same as a beautiful woman orgasming in the Clean and non Bed sheet ruining manner they do...


Lets just bring it back to "The 500 Man Fisting party Guy"

Man..can be damn disgusting... period, it's almost a favor to us that women sleep with some of us at all... Gay sex isn't Hot to Women Mostly
Worst you get from Lesbianism is a Lady with a pack of Marlboro's and a Flannel

Gay guys bring us Drag Queens and Parades and Orgies and ...yeah Diseases and non productivity and allot of social ills

A woman is just at Extreme risk if her Man is Bi on allot of levels...

The same just doesn't apply in the opposite direction... it's FAR from a double standard, there are real reasons one is hot to one sex but not the other

Al-Qaeda doesn’t hate America more than Rachel Maddow hates America. Once you understand the basic anti-patriotic agenda of the American Left, you understand why this “big lesbian who looks like a man” — as she describes herself — is so adored by her MSNBC audience. She shares their hostility to everything these “broken people” typically hate, including capitalism, Christianity and the normal family. Naturally, Ms. Maddow is a cheerleader for the Party of Treason, Perversion and Poverty (otherwise known as Democrats) and if this involves a certain haphazard attitude toward the truth, we are not surprised.

As you watch the news, do you feel as I do—that it seems the world is coming apart at the seams? There appears to be no end to the bad news. The killing of Christians by Muslims from Indonesia to Bangladesh to Pakistan. China tearing down church buildings. Christians tortured, beheaded, and crucified in Iraq, with villages burned and churches destroyed, and much the same in Syria.

American pastor Saeed Abedini is still imprisoned in Iran for his faith. Throughout Northern Africa, the Middle East, and many parts of the world, the church of Jesus Christ—and anyone or any group who bears His Name—is under attack. In our own country as well, there is great opposition to the church of Jesus Christ. We see this throughout the media, the entertainment industry, government, and politics.

Jesus warned His disciples in Matthew 24 when they asked Him about the signs of the end of the age. He said there would be wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, and pestilence. He told them, “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” (Matthew 24:9, KJV).

As I read the news, I can’t help but wonder if we are in the last hours before our Lord Jesus Christ returns to rescue His church and God pours out His wrath on the world for the rejection of His Son. I don’t know if we have hours, days, months, or years—but as Christians, God calls us to take the truth of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Our job is to warn sinners of the consequences of sin and show them that God is loving and gracious, willing to forgive if we come to Him in repentance and faith. We have to accept God’s provision for our sins—the shedding of Christ’s blood on the cross. This is what we preach at BGEA—Jesus Christ, dead, buried, and risen! Ultimately this is what matters most in this world.

We have seen firsthand the pestilence of Ebola. This year the virus has already claimed the lives of over 1,000, making it the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history. A medical doctor serving with Samaritan’s Purse in Liberia was infected with this deadly virus, but through the prayers of many righteous, God spared his life. All this reminds me of the urgency of preaching the Gospel while we have the opportunity. Jesus tells us, “As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work” (John 9:4, NIV).

This is the first time I've ever noticed so many pre-trib Christians - including well known evangelists - all speaking with urgency and truly of one accord as far as the rapture being an any-second-now, truly IMMINENT event. It seems that even the Christians that hold other rapture views also agree that we are on the doorstep of the tribulation. Since Israel became a nation again, I think there have been plenty of folks throughout the decades who felt we were getting close, but this is the first I've ever experienced where most all of us seem to be in agreement that the rapture and tribulation is coming fast. There is just this sense of urgency simmering in our hearts. I don't know - it's hard to put into words, but I do believe it is the Holy Spirit. These are exciting and yet also sobering times.
It is so evident that the world cannot go on like this for much longer. It's all coming to a head, and everything seems perfectly falling into place for the tribulation events to begin soon. We don't know when the Rapture will occur, of course, but this is the first time I've ever felt that we truly could be within weeks to months (and even much sooner) to it taking place. I've lost so much interest in the cares of this physical life - and not in a depressed or negative way at all! My mind is just on high alert now, and pondering higher things.

The Bible plainly says,

Revelation 13:16-18, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

It also should be considered that the number 6 is the number of mankind. In Romans 6:6, the word “man” is the 6th word of the 6th verse of the 6th chapter of the 6th book of the New Testament. I don't get caught up into Biblical numerology that much, but it's preeminence throughout the Scriptures cannot be denied. God cleverly assembled the Bible in such a way that it is evident that the Lord loves numerology (the study of numbers).

God wouldn't have tossed out the challenge in Revelation 13:18 to compute the number of a man, who will be the Antichrist, unless it were possible to solve. At no point throughout history have Christians been able to discern Biblical prophecy as accurately as today, because we are blessed to literally be living in prophetic history (that is, prophecy is history written in advance). The New World Order is unfolding before our very eyes, being called for by name around the world by the leaders of nations, scholars, the Pope, scientists, educators and influential people from all walks of life.

We are witnessing prophetic history being fulfilled. I am confident that the challenge in Revelation 13:18 was put there by God for more than just our mere curiosity; but rather, as a lamp unto the feet of the saints who will be persecuted and many martyred during the Tribulation by the Antichrist. Remember, the Antichrist cannot be introduced to the world until the Rapture of the saints (2nd Thessalonians 2:7-8). So, in my humble thinking, I would think that the challenge of Revelation 13:18 will not be solvable until that time. I am grateful to God, and feel so blessed every time I read the Bible, to have such a clear view of Biblical prophecy.

The Old Testament prophets didn't understand what they wrote. The prophet Daniel even saw things from the End Times in visions, and desired to know what they meant, but God told him it wasn't meant for him. Daniel 12:8-9, “And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”

It is abundantly clear that we are now living in the End Times, during the time of the feet of iron and clay of Nebuchadnezzar's image. The Second Coming of Christ is represented in Nebuchadnezzar's dream by a STONE cut from a mountain without hands, which is Jesus Christ, who will smash the image (the kingdoms of this world), and establish His own Kingdom. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

As I demonstrated in my debate with Bill Nye in February, creationists can be—and are!—great scientists. No one in their right mind would argue that Sir Isaac Newton, Kepler, or Francis Bacon (inventor of the scientific method) hindered science. Nor would they say that Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the MRI scanner, can’t do science. Observational or experimental science—the kind of science that deals with the present and is testable, repeatable, and observable—does not require a belief in evolution! That’s why both creationists and evolutionists can do amazing things like being involved in building space shuttles and finding cures for diseases. However, when you move into historical science—the kind of science (knowledge) that deals with origins (beliefs about the past), and is not directly observable, repeatable, or testable—your model of origins will determine how you interpret the evidence of the present. It all depends on your starting point! Is it man’s fallible opinion about the past or God’s infallible Word?

Jesus the son of Tiberius Julius Pantera was born around 4 BC!!

When the Messiah was born the scepter had finally departed from Judah because the Romans occupied the country:

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be (Genesis 49:10).
By 50 BC, Judea was under the iron heel of Rome's legions, and Roman law superceded Jewish law in the country. Around 4-5 BC, a Roman soldier, stationed in Israel, RAPED a young Jewish woman named Miriam. The name Miriam was one of the most popular names for girls in Israel as David and Jehoshua were the 2 most popular names for boys.

A tombstone inscription of Tiberius Julius Pantera is now in a museum in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. Hurry up and see it before it disappears!!

A tombstone inscription of Tiberius Julius Pantera is in a museum in the land of Saint Martin Luther.

Satan the devil, in a mocking parody and counterfeit of the virgin birth, used a Roman soldier named Tiberius Julius Pantera to rape a young Jewish woman named Miriam.

Tiberius was stationed in Israel; he adopted the illegitimate son born to Miriam, and gave him the Latin name JESUS!!

The name Pantera means PANTHER–a wild animal. Roman soldiers were expected to behave beastly and live up to their names. The Latin inscription says:

Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera of Sidon, aged 62 a soldiers of 40 years service, of 1st cohort of archers, lies here.

The vile, blasphemous slander against the virgin birth of the Messiah was also a popular theme among the pagans. One such pagan was a man named Celsus who wrote an anti-Christian polemic about 250 AD:

Let us imagine what a Jew–let alone a philosopher–might say to Jesus: "Is it not true, good sir, that you fabricated the story of your birth from a virgin to quiet rumours about the true and insavoury circumstances of your origins? Is it not the case that far from being born in the royal David's city of bethlehem, you were born in a poor country town, and of a woman who earned her living by spinning? Is it not the case that when her deceit was uncovered, to wit, that she was pregnant by a roman soldier called Panthera she was driven away by her husband–the carpenter–and convicted of adultery?" (Celsus, On the True Doctrine).
On the True Doctrinal by Celsus is lost but the Pantera slur was rebutted by Origen in his Conta Celsus CHAP. LXIX.

The name ESUS was very popular among the Druids of Gaul and Britannia as that was one of the names of their false idols. To make it Roman, Tiberius simply put a "J" in front of ESUS.

Quote# 103485

“A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless.”
Theodore Roosevelt.

Not wanting children is something I struggle to understand, especially for a woman. I understand some women can not, God have mercy. But surely the urge must be there, and feminism burys it deep.

What is the objective of life for woman if not to have children? I am 23 years old and when I think how I do not have children yet it makes me feel very sad. But I am ok because I have many neices and nephews and two more due to be born next month. :D . I hope I make my own soon, because I am way behind. My oldest sister made her first at age 16. Which is quite young, but she was married so it is okay.

This is one thing I am confused about, I do not understand how feminism alone is capable to make a large number of women not want to be mothers. Feminism is just a ideology. Wanting children is a biological urge. We play with dolls from when we are old enough to walk and pretend they are our babies. We make ourselfs look pretty so to attract a husband, to make babies. I think it is deeper than feminism, it has to be hormonal imbalances or something else wrong. Christianity tells us some things can not be done before marriage (for good reason), that does not mean human beings who adhere to Christianity LOSE the urge, they just control it. How can a simple ideology like feminism take that natural urge from a woman? That is why I think it is more than feminism. There are a few possibilities of what it could be, maybe, birth control. Birth control effectively tricks a woman’s body in thinking it is pregnant so no ovulation, thus taking the broody feeling away.
A woman with healthy hormones, no birth control, is usually broody by age 19, in my opinion. Before, even some women who did not have babies or could not, usually become nuns/nurses, so they were still utilizing their need to care and nurture.
