[on abortion]

“will the mother die in childbirth” should never be your first questions when considering abortion, because it’s the last thing that can happen. It’s so rare that your first question might as well be “Should we allow mothers to watch TV?” because there is a far higher mortality rate. We ought to stay focused on the primary reasons of why people get abortions to think broadly on the topic. Those go more like “Should we justify murder so a woman can finish college or preserve the youthful look of her body?” or “If the father is a runaway deadbeat, can we declare the child a mass of meaningless cells?” That should come to our mind often when thinking about abortion, because then we’re actually being on topic.

“Especially in the rare and unfortunate case where a woman is raped, impregnated, and has a low chance of surviving the pregnancy…”

Uh, I think this particular instance has maybe happened twice in the history of man. Pregnancy from rape is rare (or unreported) and low survival chances are rare. But let’s call a spade a spade, you want to be pro life, but philosophically, you want to keep a foot in your culture so you don’t look like Pat Robertson. So you’ve concocted a near impossible scenario so when it comes up in conversation with the elites you can look cool and say, “I don’t think it’s my place to force a woman to…”

What if a farmer is raped, impregnated and has a low chance of survival, can he still own another man? The Civil Rights of an unborn human aren’t removed because of what happens between the male and female that made him. You might still choose to kill the unborn baby, but give it the dignity to say, “When your mother is raped and going to die, I believe in the death penalty for the unborn baby.” At least now we’re dealing with reality, and I don’t mind immoral positions so much so long as we just level with what we’re actually doing. Don’t degrade another person by claiming the high moral ground as you won’t stop them from sucking him down the sink. It’s like being against slavery, but you could never tell a farmer how to run his farm.

“I don’t think it is my place to force a woman to sacrifice her life for a child she wasn’t prepared to conceive.”

Actually it’s the opposite of what you’re saying. It’s the fact that she is prepared to conceive that you provide her the opportunity for an abortion. And being a parent of four, and knowing every parent around me, nobody is prepared to conceive! Once again, it’s troubling to me that our people should be more rebellious than ever. We should be able to stand up to culture and make a fist more than ever. We can wear a mohawk or our men can wear a dress at work, but we carve, and retreat over the simple, normal, pro life stance.

“Which life is more justified in ending, the hopeless damsel or the virgin youth?”

All life is equally justified, made meaningful in the Image of God. Be cautious when you add a “but ______” after that statement. But in my experience, if a mother had to sacrifice her life for one of her children to live, I don’t know of many mothers who wouldn’t make that sacrifice. The tubal pregnancies are different in that you have the mother and the baby possibly dying, when an abortion would make it safer for the mother and take the baby. So you have a likelihood of one death, instead of two and that’s a pro life position, but so rare so as to be a non sequitor in most debate situations. We argue rape and incest, but those are really just used to justify the right to kill a baby who supposedly nobody wants to help… which is yet another lie.

Remember, always remember for the rest of your life: The culture is almost always wrong. Always has been, always will be. The mass public evolution of morals creates some of the most monstrous positions people have ever held.

I agree with Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) that we need another Great Depression in America. Folks who went through The Great Depression had a whole different attitude toward life than this spoiled brat generation today. Young people live on credit today, enjoying things before paying for them. During The Great Depression of the 1930's, they lived by the motto... Use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without!!! Amen. We need some of that again today. Americans are so spoiled rotten, characterless and spineless these days that we are as dumb sheep before the slaughter. There's nothing wrong in America today that couldn't be remedied by a generation of Spirit-filled preaching preachers!

Quote# 109621

An Arizona pastor said he prayed for God to rip out the heart of Caitlyn Jenner and cast her soul into the fiery depths of Hell.

Pastor Steven Anderson, who predicted an “AIDS-free Christmas” if all LGBT people were put to death, explained to his congregation at Faithful Word Baptist Church that it was not wrong to pray for the deaths of your enemies – like he had done for President Barack Obama.

Anderson preached Sunday that he had seen Jenner’s “filthy sodomite picture” everywhere after the Olympic athlete and reality TV star completed gender transition.

“I’d never even heard of him until this week,” Anderson said. “Bruce Jenner has basically mutilated his body, apparently, and he’s being praised by our president. Our President Obama is praising him, or praising her – we don’t even know what it is. I think that (Obama) used the female pronoun about somebody named Bruce.”

He said the president was “praising the wicked,” and he said “this trans freak” was being “crammed down the throat” of “literally hundreds of millions of people.”

“This person is just the evangelist of sodomy and filth to the world, and people are like, ‘Oh, we need to pray for him so that he finds Jesus,’” Anderson said. “I’m going to pray that he dies and goes to Hell.”

The Independent Fundamental Baptist pastor, who has links to the militia and “sovereign citizen” movements, said children who saw photos of Jenner had their “minds perverted and ruined permanently.”

“Listen to me – I hate him with a perfect hatred,” Anderson said, as congregants murmured amen. “I have no love for this Bruce freak. I hope he dies today, I hope he dies and goes to Hell – he’s disgusting, he’s filthy, he’s reprobate.”

The pastor, who teaches only the 1611 edition of the King James Bible, said he would offer prayers found in Psalms 69 and 109 toward Jenner.

“You evil, filthy animal that’s destroying the morals of our country – die,” Anderson bellowed.

Despite his profession of “perfect hatred” just moments earlier, Anderson insisted that he was not hateful but instead “loving” – toward his children, country, and like-minded Christians.

“I hate these filthy sons of Belial – they’re disgusting and sick,” he said. “That guy will never find Jesus – the Bible says he’s reprobate, the Bible explains why people would lust after another man when you’re a man.”

He said the Bible had called for gays to be “stoned with stones,” and he criticized pastors who prayed for God to touch Jenner’s heart.

“I hope God touches Bruce Jenner’s heart like this,” he said, pantomiming the scene from “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” where the priest pulls a man’s still-beating heart from his chest. “I pray that his heart would explode right now.”

Remember folks this is dead serious. We absolutely believe there are women who in no way, shape, or form deserve to be raped. But those women will not be in danger of ever being the victim of our methods because we don’t target virgins at church, 40 year married grandma’s knitting at home, or even regular non-slut non-feminist decent human beings going to the grocery store.

We target harlots. Decrepid filth, dressed like hookers and reaking like vodka. Downtown after bar time. In certain alley ways on the way back to the dorms, etc. We also specifically target Feminists, the most vile, putrid, hateful, evil of the bunch. The kind who get conferences to talk about mens suicide rates shut down. The type of hussies who have lobbied effectively to remove due process from proceedings against men on college campuses. We want to teach men that although it may be easier than ever for an innocent man to be convicted of rape when a consensual partner has buyers remorse, it’s also easier than ever for a guilty man to get away Scott free – so long as it’s done the way we advocate: actual rape-rape, as in dark-alley, ski mask, stranger rape.

Carry on men. And carry these words in your heart; “Rape boldly, rape bravely, but when you do rape, RAPE SAFELY!”

Cause and Effect

These “whirlwind” rights are the consequence of the “wind” rights established by the framers in the Bill of Rights. Most Christians believe the rights found in the first Ten Amendments are God-given. But there are two problems with this cherished idea:

1) The Constitution knows nothing of God (except perhaps as the Paper’s timekeeper in Article 7).

2) God and His Word know nothing of optional rights. Instead, the Bible is replete with non-optional responsibilities:

The Scriptures provide no evidence of God-given (or unalienable) rights. Even life and liberty are not rights, but rather responsibilities delegated by Yahweh.2 Of course, rights are much more popular than responsibilities. Everyone, including homosexuals and infant murderers, demand their rights. Few are interested in fulfilling their responsibilities.3

America was sold down the river when the framers replaced God-expected responsibilities with optional rights, which are easily suppressed by whatever government is in power at the time. There’s no better example than the Second Amendment and its wording “shall not be infringed.” The Second Amendment is the most infringed, licensed, and limited Amendment of the entire twenty-seven.4

Rights vs. Righteousness

Rights have also contributed to an irresponsible and, in turn, pompously cavalier public that is more interested in exercising its “rights” than in living responsibly, especially in relation to a sovereign God.

People who demand their rights are like children, focused only on themselves. People who pursue righteousness are focused on Yahweh and their fellow man. The former promote a government of, by, and for the people; the latter promote a government of, by, and for Yahweh.5

In theory, rights are one of the “holy grails” of American Republicanism. In reality, they’re just another example of the framers’ apostasy, which continues to reap the whirlwind.

Quote# 109618

A familiar proverb declares, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” America’s road to “hell” has been paved with rights, including:

Natural rights
Human rights
Civil rights
Political rights
Religious rights (including the right for all non-Christian religions to proliferate)
Educational rights
Women’s rights (including the right to murder one’s unborn baby)
Children’s rights
Health care rights
Welfare rights
Homosexual rights
Transgender rights

And this is the short list. Former United States Attorney General Stephen J. Markman confirmed that the unbiblical rights above are included in the Ninth Amendment’s unidentified enumeration of rights:

[T[he Ninth Amendment constitutes a “license to constitutional decisionmakers [sic] to look beyond the substantive commands of the constitutional text to protect fundamental rights not expressed therein.” Rights to abortion, contraception, homosexual behavior, and similar sexual privacy rights have already been imposed by judges detecting such rights in the Ninth Amendment.1

Because the framers failed to expressly establish the Constitution on Biblical ethics, the Ninth Amendment was inevitably interpreted to include the above list, as well as other Biblical infractions.

The latest to come from the rights culture created by the framers is the right of young men who claim to be transgender to share locker rooms, bathrooms, and even showers with girls in our public schools.

No, this is to spread among the population a complete disregard for biology and reproduction and family in order to push the power of the state against its rival social institution. With the state using civil rights law to effectively outlaw Christianity in society, this means it also functions as propaganda to help the state deal with its real rival social institution, the Christian Church. This is Transgender America because transgender serves to promote the naked power of politics and deny all limits.

This is why complaints about conservatives commenting on Bruce Jenner miss the point. We don’t have the option of ignoring him. He’s an ambassador for public policy. You may think you don’t care, but you don’t have that luxury. You will be made to care in Transgender America.

More to the point, your children will be made to care at the age when they are most vulnerable to sexual confusion. Even if you can prevent them from watching the show, their classmates and friends will tell them about it, and social media and youtube.com will spread it among them.

And by the way, do you think the media will ever report on any sexual or other scandals on these people? Ha! That only happens to the enemies of the regime.

This is a serious threat. You had better treat it that way.

A new 2014 religious film titled, “GOD'S NOT DEAD” is infiltrating the churches...

God's Not Dead is a 2014 American Christian drama film directed by Harold Cronk, and stars Kevin Sorbo, Shane Harper, David A. R. White and Dean Cain. The film was released to theaters on March 21, 2014, by Pure Flix Entertainment. The film follows an evangelical Christian college student (Shane Harper) whose faith is challenged by a philosophy professor who declares God a pre-scientific fiction.

SOURCE: God's Not Dead (film) - Wikipedia

Hundreds of religious films have been produced over the past several years, nearly all of which teach a woeful false plan of salvation. The GOD'S NOT DEAD film horribly butchers the Word of God, promoting a false plan of salvation that cannot produce the new birth.

...

I was reading an article[1] online about how religious films influence an estimated 200,000,000 Americans, including unsaved Jews and Mormons. In my opinion that's why the film's writer(s) are intentionally vague concerning the Gospel, as to avoid offending any particular religious group. Sadly, it appears that the film's producers are more interested in making lots of money than they are getting people saved. There is nothing in the movie “GOD'S NOT DEAD” that would offend an unsaved Jehovah's Witness, Mormon, Seventh-Day Adventist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran or other demonic religion. The vague teaching of accepting Jesus is a false plan of salvation, because that is not the Gospel as taught in the Holy Bible. The Biblical plan of salvation excludes all forms of self-righteousness and human effort. Every Catholic believes in accepting Jesus, and they are all going straight to Hell to burn!!!

'God's Not Dead' Film Fails to Mentions Christ is Risen!

Ironically, the name of the religious movie is “GOD'S NOT DEAD,” yet the film fails to mention Christ's bodily resurrection from the dead. Do the film's writer(s), actors, director and producer believe that Jesus is alive? Is God alive but Jesus dead? The film does contain one actor (a student) professing that JESUS IS GOD! That's true and good! But it strikes me as odd that a religious film which aims to promote the truth that GOD'S NOT DEAD, would fail to promote the Biblical truth that Christ's tomb is empty, because JESUS IS RISEN!!! Not one mention of Christ's resurrection is made in the film. Why not??? My friend, JESUS IS NOT DEAD, and He has RISEN BODILY from the grave and then He BODILY ASCENDED into the clouds for His disciples to witness (Acts 1:9-11).

Please read, What Is The Gospel? (an excellent sermon by Dr. Harry Ironside; few churchgoers get it right!). Few religious people (I dare not call them Christians) get the plan of salvation correct. Today's religious radio stations are absolutely saturated with theological garbage and nonsense. I heard Evangelist David Platt the other night pleaded emotionally for listeners to get saved, but all he kept saying was to merely trust Jesus. My friend, even the devil's believe, but tremble in fear (James 2:19). You cannot get to Heaven by just trusting Jesus. You must believe that Christ died on THE CROSS for YOUR SINS, and that He was BURIED (officiating His death), and that Christ bodily RESURRECTED on the third day from the dead. This is the Gospel and you cannot be saved without it. No one can be saved who denies Christ's bodily resurrection from the dead.


You Can Trust Jesus and Still Go Straight to Hell

No one can be saved who trusts in Jesus, but does not believe that Jesus suffered, bled and died on the cross for their own sins. No one ever got saved who didn't know that he or she is a guilty sinner in God's eyes!!! In the film, James A. R. White never asks the dying atheist man if he knows that he is a sinner. That is a critical error. White says in the film that God is willing to forgive the man of his sins, but the question is never asked, “Do you know that you are a sinner?” You'd be surprised how many people DON'T think they are a sinner. The nation of France years ago published a statement that they were not sinners; but rather, merely had some imperfections. Well, the French are all filthy, rotten, guilty, hell-deserving, SINNERS, according to God (Romans 3:23).

Jewish anti-semitism, it sounds like a contradiction in terms; an oxymoron or a Jackie Mason joke, but sadly, there is nothing funny about it.

Jewish anti-semitism is far more sinister than we would like to believe. Western campuses are crawling with Jewish anti-semites, many of which are tenured professors. These self-haters are at the forefront of most every smear campaign against the Jewish creed and the Jewish land. They play a leading role in the campaigns to boycott and "Divest" from Israel.

[...]

Nor is their hatred, by any stretch of the imagination, the result of innocent assimilation - having casually drifted from the traditions and history of our people. On the contrary, they stake full claim to their "Roots" and use it adroitly as protective coloration.

[...]

Not all Jewish self-hatred is as bold and blatant; the syndrome is manifest in diverse form and intensity. The more subtle types, however, can be equality as dangerous. In some ways they are more destructive. Given their subtle character, they are likely to be perceived as less sinister than their blatant counterparts, but that is not necessarily the case.

Add to the growing penchant of Jewish self-hatred the array of other challenges facing us as a people - staggering Jewish illiteracy, unprecedented assimilation and intermarriage, the post Zionist mentality and the loss of Jewish values - it's hard to know who and what we really are. Our true identity is completely eclipsed by all the talk about what's wrong with us.

10 WOMEN CHRISTIAN MEN SHOULD NOT MARRY

By Dr. Stephen Kim

In a former post, I detailed 10 men that Christian women ought to avoid when considering marriage.  Today, I present to you my list for Christian men.

“I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense, passing along the street near her corner,taking the road to her house” (Proverbs 7:7-8).

1. The Unbeliever. Scripture is replete with exhortations against such marriages (in both the Old and New Testaments).  Contrary to popular misconception, God’s prohibition against marriages to foreign women in the Old Testament was not due to racism.  Instead, God was simply preventing the spread of idolatry.  Israel, God’s chosen people in the Old Testament, represented what Christians would later represent in the New Testament.  Hence, God’s prohibition against marrying an unbelieving woman in the New Testament (2 Cor 6:14) is simply the extension of God prohibiting a Hebrew man from from marrying a Canaanite woman in the Old Testament (Deut 7:3-4).  “Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you” (Deut 7:3-4).

What then, is a believer?  A Christian essentially is someone who believes in the gospel of Jesus Christ.  What then, is the gospel?  The gospel is: 1. God is holy, loving, and just.  He therefore, must condemn all sinners to punishment in the flames of eternal hell;  2. You and I are all sinners who deserve nothing but God’s wrath in hell after our deaths; 3. God loved humanity so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus (who was fully God and fully man), to die on the cross for your sins.  Jesus paid the debt for your sins and absorbed God’s wrath on your behalf.  3 days later, Jesus resurrected from the dead; 4. If you repent (turn from) all your sins and personally put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord, God and Savior, then you will have eternal life. (For more information on the saving message of the gospel, click here.)

2. The Divorcee. Jesus clearly taught that unless the first marriage ended due to a partner’s sexual infidelity, a second marriage is to be considered invalid and adulterous (I explain this teaching further here).  A divorced woman, therefore, is off limits for a Christian man–unrepentant adultery being a sin that prevents one from obtaining eternal life (1 Cor 6:9).  “If she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery” (Mark 10:12). “And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery” (Matthew 19:9).
ultery” (Matthew 19:9).

3. The Older Woman. Not a sin, but certainly not God’s ideal.  God expects men to be the spiritual leaders of the home (Eph 5:25) and it certainly requires an extra measure of grace to lead a woman who’s older than you.  Again, if you’re a man and you’re already in such a marriage, then honor it till the day you die–it’s still a valid marriage and divorce is not an option!  However, if you’re not yet married but thinking about an older woman I want to remind you that God intentionally (with good reason!) created Adam before Eve in the First Marriage.  Scripture informs us that God created man first chronologically for the sake of authority!  Listen:  “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve” (1 Timothy 2:12-13).  Evidently, within the First Marriage, God intended chronology (age) to be a reason for authority.

Apparently, even secular researchers are now beginning to discover results that back up God’s wisdom as demonstrated in the Bible:

“If you’re a woman two or more years older than your husband, your marriage is 53 percent more likely to end in divorce than if he was one year younger to three years older.” (Source: Rebecca Kippen, Bruce Chapman and Peng Yu, “What’s Love Got to Do With It? Homogamy and Dyadic Approaches to Understanding Marital Instability,” Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, 2009.)“Marriage generally improves life expectancy, but the age gap between a couple affects the life expectancy of men and women very differently.  Marrying an older man shortens a woman’s lifespan, but having a younger husband reduces it even more, the study found.  The findings, drawn from the medical records of two million Danish couples, suggest that the best a woman can do is marry a man of about the same age. Health records have shown previously that men live longer if they have a younger wife, an effect researchers expected to see mirrored in women who married younger men. However, a woman who is between seven and nine years older than her husband has a 20% greater mortality rate than if she were with a man the same age.” (Source: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/may/12/marrying-younger-man-woman-mortality“A new study shows that women who marry men seven to nine years younger than they are increase their mortality risk by 20 percent. This is the opposite of the finding for men who marry much younger wives – their life expectancyincreases. The new study from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany, changes assumptions about how marriage can extend life, owing in part to improved support systems spouses can provide for one another, and the supposed psychological benefit from having a younger spouse, who could become a caretaker should the older spouse become infirm.” (Source: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/for-married-women-age-gap-can-be-deadly/
married-women-age-gap-can-be-deadly/

4. The Feminist.  There’s no room within Christendom for the “Christian feminist.”  Though women and men have equal value in the eyes of God (Gal 3:28), they certainly have different God-given roles.  Any woman who tries to usurp her husband’s authority or even claims to be a co-leader with her man is gravely dishonoring the God who created her to be subject and obedient to her husband (Eph 5:22, Col 3:18, 1 Pet 3:1).   Eve was distinctly created “for” man, a point that the apostle Paul makes abundantly clear in 1 Corinthians 11 when he writes, “For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.” (1 Corinthians 11:8-9).  Men, your wife is to be your “helper” (Gen 2:18)–not your leader and certainly not your equal in terms of authority.  Look for a woman who agrees with you in this very vital God-ordained relational dynamic.

5. The Immodest-Dresser.  Sexy might inadvertently catch your eyeballs, but it shouldn’t catch your heart.  The way that a woman is willing to expose herself says much about her heart: “And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart” (Proverbs 7:10).  The text in Proverbs explains that a woman will dress in a certain way to catch a certain type of man.  Don’t be that man.  Don’t be the fool who’s led by his hormones instead of the Holy Spirit.  Remember: you want godly, not gaudy.  

6. The Gossiper/Slanderer.  Women may love to talk, but there’s wisdom in looking for a woman who speaks with wisdom. Gossip and slander are not good things to have in your marriage. Desperate housewives make for desperate husbands.  “Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.” (1 Timothy 5:13).

7. The Childbirth Avoider. Do not marry a woman who is not willing to have children of her own.  In the Christian worldview, there is absolutely no room for two married, biologically capable, human beings to remain intentionally child-less.  If you are adverse towards having children, then there’s a simple remedy for that: single-hood.   However, if God has called you to marriage, then He actually expects children.  Both the New and Old Testaments are very clear on this teaching: “Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring” (Malachi 2:15).  “Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control” (1 Timothy 2:15).

8. The Wander-Luster.  There’s nothing wrong with the occasional family vacation.  There is something very wrong with a girl who regularly needs to be “out of the home.”  The constant desire for new experiences, new places, new faces, and new forms of entertainment only serves to clearly manifest the fact that the woman has not found her rest in God.  Believe it or not, Scripture speaks repeatedly about such women:  “She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home” (Proverbs 7:11); “Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to” (1 Timothy 5:13).

9. The Career-first Woman. Now, I want to clarify something here.  There is nothing wrong with a woman who works (Acts 16:14), what’s wrong is a woman who puts her career ahead of her family.  Modern American society might hate to hear this, but God made men to be the providers and women to be the nurturers of the home (in most instances).  It’s okay for a woman to be a doctor, attorney, or any other professional.  However, if her career is coming at the expense of her home, then something is wrong.  If day-care is raising her young children while she’s working, then something is wrong.  I understand that there might be a season of life where the wife might have to be the main bread-winner due to her husband’s unemployment, but it should not be the desired norm. The woman ought to be willing (and even desirous–to some extent) to give up her job for the sake of raising her kids in the Lord.  “So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander” (1 Tim 5:14).

10. The Devotion-less Woman.  Is the woman having a regular, daily devotional time with her God?  If she doesn’t love the Lord now, chances are, she won’t love the Lord after marriage.  (Don’t delude yourself–you’re not going to change her.)  You want to marry a girl who has an intimate relationship with Jesus.  Jesus (not you) has to be the first man in her life.  Here are some good questions to ask: Does she have an active prayer life?  Does she have a heart for evangelism?  Is she hungry for God’s Word?  What does her pastor think about her?

Do you remember this account from Scripture:

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. [39] And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. [40] But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” [41] But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, [42] but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42 ESV)

Marry the Mary (no pun intended).  Such women have picked “…the good portion, which will not be taken away” from them. God be with you men.  Strong families start with strong wives.  Choose wisely and choose in the Lord!

There can be only one... at most.

It is impossible to simultaneously understand the theory of evolution and to believe in blank-slate cognitive equality among human groups of different continental origins.

Both propositions—evolution and equality—cannot simultaneously be true. You have to pick one. Choose wisely, because you can’t have both.

Either evolution is a real and ongoing process that has rendered different groups with different mean aptitudes, or we’re all equal—and thus all measurable group disparities in things such as income and intelligence are due to unfairness, hatred, injustice, and flat-out stinking evil.

Yet against all logic and evidence and propelled purely by the smarmiest sort of saccharine emotionality that has ever been shit-sprayed out of human hearts, modern progressives insist that these two fundamentally contradictory belief systems are simultaneously true.
“What sort of person who claims to believe in evolution would deny its fundamental role in shaping human history?”

They insist that evolution is real and that only a dumb hillbilly would not believe in it. But they also insist that evolution had nothing to do with quantifiable disparities between groups in brain size and intelligence, and even if those dumb apelike hillbillies consistently score higher on intelligence tests than your average nonwhite hood rat, well, then, you’re dumb—and evil—for even noticing.

Now, I happen to be skeptical of one and outright reject both the existence and the possibility of the other. But that is an intellectually consistent position. Subscribing to both evolution and equality is intrinsically nonsensical.

This is a sample cartoon that will appear in our GrrrGraphics book that we hope to release early next year. There has been a bit of a delay for legal reasons.

This cartoon speaks for itself. As government entities become more corrupt, they will attempt to take away more of our money and liberties. The IRS attacks the establishment’s political enemies and when caught they destroy evidence. Nothing is done about it. Corrupt revenue generators, er, police, ignore the 4th Amendment and confiscate any cash found on citizens. People are tased or beaten if they object. Little if anything is done about it. The NSA records everything we do and nothing is done to stop them. The TSA gropes grandmas and little kids and nothing is done about it. Obama thinks he can enforce the UN gun ban treaty by presidential decree–the Senate be damned. And yet he’s not impeached.

Once they get our guns, their domination will be complete. They must not get the guns.

God Helped Ben Carson Ace His College Chemistry Final By Giving Him All The Answers In A Dream

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson was among the featured speakers at the official National Day of Prayer gathering in Washington, D.C. this morning where he told the story about the time that God helped him ace his college chemistry final by providing him with all of the answers in a dream.

As Carson explained it, his goal of becoming a doctor was nearly derailed in his first semester at Yale University when he was failing his chemistry class to such an extent that he would not have been able to pass even if managed to get an A on the final exam. Fortunately for him, this particular professor had a policy that anyone who was failing the class could receive double credit on the final and so Carson asked God for a miracle before committing himself to study for the exam the night before.

But instead of studying, Carson fell asleep and had a dream in which he was alone in an auditorium as some "nebulous figure" wrote out chemistry problems on the blackboard.

"When I went to take the test the next morning, it was like 'The Twilight Zone,'" Carson said. "I opened that book and I recognized the first problem as one of the ones I dreamed about. And the next, and the next, and the next, and I aced the exam and got a good mark in chemistry. It worked out okay and I promised the Lord he would never have to do that for me again":

I was told by my professor that, yes the Holocaust was evil and wrong, but God will often use evil (not having created it, however) to further His own ends.

My professor who traveled to Israel many many times during his career, said that Israelis themselfs have told him, that God used Hitler and the Holocaust as a whip to drive the jews back into the land.

Think about it... it if hadn't occured, most of those jews were well off in the countries they'd lived in. Many successful professionals. They would have had no reason to go to Israel. They were comfortable where they were.

Hitler and the holocaust were a whip used by God, to push the Jews back to their land.

I believe it 100%.

In my opinion, Climate Change is a tool with many intended purposes. Here are a few I can think of:

1) A reason to fund a global government, with industrial countries paying the most tax.
2) A reason to explain God's judgments in Revelation when they occur. (Scorching heat, drought etc.) They don't want anyone turning to God.
3) A reason to limit CO2 / economies making more people poor and dependent on government.
4) A reason to enrich the ruling class.

I believe we are seeing every judgment in Revelation has a deception forming in advance to explain it.

You have the antibiotic super bug to explain future plagues.
You have fracking to explain earth quakes increasing.
UFO's to explain rapture. Etc.

I can’t believe my eyes when I found an article on the India news about this China-Pakistan Agreement that has China building this Karakoram Highway through Kashmir and other details that have to do with this region of the world around where this mega earthquake is centered! The last update on this Agreement was April 21, 2015 just days away from this 7.9 Earthquake!

Now for those of you who do not know the meaning of this Karakoram Highway in Revelation book Seal six and trumpet 6 and vial 6 is that there is to be a way (HIGHWAY) prepared in the east of Israel for the Kings of the East to travel to the middle east to fight in the next two last wars of the bible–these are under the 6th trumpet judgment and the 6th vial judgment!

God is removing these mountains around Nepal so that this super highway can be built that will get China into the middle east by the middle and end of the tribulation period—it won’t take long after they get it built from Nepal and westward–it may even connect to other existing highways-this may be the only hangup- now that these mountains are out of the way the final phase of this Karakoram Highway can move forward under this China-Pakistan agreement!! Pretty amazing if you ask me–we all should be using this information to witness like never before to our unbelieving friends and neighbors–I know I will!! Our days are short now!!

(Discussing Ms Marvel, a Pakistani-American Superhero.)

Meanwhile, the one and only person on the team with a clear religious identity is the Muslim girl. This is a religion which has, whether anyone admits it or not, declared war on the whole world, and has, whether anyone says so or not, adopted terrorism and stealth jihad as the main means to wage that war.

This is the same as if, during World War Two, a comic book made one of their heroines a member of the Nazi party. But one of the those nice Nazi party members who do not approve of Hitler, or the other official doctrines, written in the official literature, of the organization to which she willingly belongs. Such a comic character would appeal to the moderate Nazis whom we do not wish to alienate, since, after all, Hitler highjacked the noble institution and motives of the Party.

Quote# 108040

Stacey Eden is a young Australian woman from Sydney who recently defended a Muslim couple that were verbally accosted by a middle aged woman on a train. The woman accused Muslims in general for the atrocities of ISIS and directed her ire at the hapless couple. Stacey Eden sat there for around 10 minutes listening to the conversation before intervening on the couple’s behalf; but not before hitting the record button that captured her heroic intervention. According to the BBC: “Stacey Eden’s Facebook page got an enormous surge of interest after she posted a video of herself defending a Muslim couple“
Naturally.

This brings us to the obvious conclusion that Stacey Eden is an attention whore. Had she merely intervened on the couple’s behalf without submitting a recording of her “heroism” she would perhaps qualify as a decent person. This was obviously not the case as validation was her underlying motive. The online social media community burst into applause and the leftist media hoisted her on their shoulders for the world to admire. What more could a mediocre unaccomplished young woman want? The Facebook community has lavished her with accolades such as “decent” and “brave”.

Let’s be honest – Stacey is not brave. She picked the most politically correct course of action which is endorsed by Western elites and the mainstream media. Had she tried defending Christians in Pakistan she would have eaten more lead than Salman Taseer. Ironically, it is the middle aged woman that is the brave one in this incident. I am not defending her gross lapse in etiquette but she chose to risk social ostracism in order to speak her mind. I do not think that accosting random people in public spaces is civilized behavior but Eden is no saint either; she seeks to profit by putting her piety on display. Social justice warriors are modern day pharisees and Cultural Marxism is their Mishnah.

The intrepid social justice warrior herself.
Why do Anglosphere women so wholeheartedly embrace cultural marxism (beyond opportunism)? Let us examine the matter further.
The inverted conservatism of Western Women.

Those that possess even a basic grasp of history know that women have been conservative throughout history to the point of defending the excesses of their menfolk. As I’ve stated on numerous occasions, Indian women frequently participate in honour killings. Gujarati Hindu women have also, as noted by Aakar Patel, defended the atrocities committed against Gujarati muslims during the 2002 riots. Japanese women also possess a strong nationalist streak which sometimes translates into xenophobic anti-Korean sentiments. These are some extreme examples but women in non western countries do not easily turn their backs on their cultures and traditions. Anglo women are also conservative in their own right – they conserve liberalism.

Liberal thought has entrenched itself so deeply into modern Western culture that it is this liberal culture that Anglo-sphere women are conserving. If traditional conservatives were to somehow wrest control away from our current traitorous elites, women would go back to defending “racism” and “homophobia” within a generation. Matt Forney is essentially correct when he argues that female participation in socio/cultural movements and revolutions is largely irrelevant as women tend to sleep with whoever is in power. However, what Forney does not note is that women are still the keepers of culture and civilization. Men may invent a cuisine but it is housewives that preserve that cuisine over generations. Women’s herd mentality and innate desire for social acceptance are suited perfectly to this task.

Animals in Heaven and the Millennial Kingdom

I believe dinosaurs will be in the millennial kingdom and in heaven, too! We know from the Scriptures there are good things in heaven and there are animals in heaven. And we know God can restore human bodies, so why would exotic/extinct animals not "be delivered from the bondage of corruption," too? They are His and He preserves both man and beast. And if even the lowly sparrow has a place near His altar, why not His bigger creatures? And when His kingdom comes, His "will be done on earth as it is in heaven" where there are already animals.

At the very least, one would think that there would be dinosaurs after the MK, in the new heaven and earth when the Lord will make all things new and remove all sadness (including, presumably, sadness over not being able to see/interact with dinosaurs, if such sadness did exist). However, it seems much more like the Lord to have restored desired animals (pets, too) to His children in heaven already and the MK as soon as it starts. After all, He delights to give us things that bring us joy. And nothing is impossible with the Lord.

There are many good things in heaven
Ps 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
1 Cor 2:9-10 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"--but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
1 Tim 6:17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

Animals=Good
Gen 1:24-25 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

There are creatures in heaven
Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Rev 19:14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

Restoration of bodies/Delivery from bondage
Phil 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
John 5:28-29 "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned."
Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

The animals are all His
Ps 50:10-11 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.

He preserves both man and beast
Ps 36:5-6 Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.

Even sparrows have a place near His altar
Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
Ps 84:1-3 . . . How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young--a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

Heaven's blessings to be mirrored on earth
Matt 6:10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

No death, no sorrow/All things made new
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

The Lord delights to give us good things
Matt 7:7-11 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
Ps 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Rom 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Eph 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ps 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Nothing shall be impossible with God
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Quote# 107849

Let’s be clear: I am not saying that same-sex parents are automatically guilty of any kind of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse to the children they raise. Nor am I saying that LGBT people are less likely to take good care of children.

What I mean is this: Even the most heroic mother in the world can’t father. So to intentionally deprive any child of her mother or father, except in cases like divorce for grave reasons or the death of a parent, is itself a form of abuse. (Though my mother raised me with the help of a lesbian partner, I do not feel I was abused, because I always knew that my mother didn’t intend for my father to divorce her.)

More Christian Atheists

Yep, you read that right: Christian atheists. Believe it or not, there are folks out there who claim to be Christians - even Christian leaders - who also proudly inform us that they don't believe in God. Yep, makes perfect sense to me too. But hey, who am I to judge?

Hmm, now that I think about it, I am to judge - we all are. When false prophets and false shepherds come along, we are obligated to call them out. To allow them to keep doing their thing, damaging the church and leading people astray is just not an option.

["Even though I hold those beliefs, I am still a proud minister. But I don't appreciate being told that I'm not a Christian."]

Yeah right. He is a proud minister alright - a proud minister of Satan. And we have the full authority of the Word of God (the book he no longer believes in) to make this claim. He is a part of the Synagogue of Satan. He is certainly not part of the Body of Christ.

He might as well claim to be a meat-eating vegetarian, or a KKK-loving Black, or a Jew who works for the Nazis. All he is doing is making things up as he goes along. He is a legend in his own mind. Indeed, he has set up his mind, and himself, as god. He will decide what is true and false, right and wrong.

[...]

He is simply another arrogant idolater, shaking his fist at God in ugly rebellion and defiance. He is no better than any other atheist and misotheist. Indeed, he is worse, because he once claimed to be a Christian. He clearly is not any longer. He is deceived, and is quite happy to drag as many other deceived folks down into the pit with him as he can.

Obviously we can pray for such apostates. And a good prayer to pray is that God would either improve or remove the guy.

Quote# 106156

The lure of bright lights is really what separated me from God. I could not comprehend that He was the brightest light I could ever find. Having studied music all my life, I was excited to begin my journey into the music industry. Almost immediately, I encountered a spirit of homosexuality that permeated throughout the entertainment industry. Sexual deviancy was promoted, encouraged, rewarded and applauded.

Lesbianism was so easy for me and doors were opened for me based off of my commitment to this lifestyle. I traveled the nation singing. I met Oscar winners, Emmy winners, Grammy winners and Tony winners. I was doing tour dates with Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and was on national TV. My face was appearing in major media outlets all over the world and I had worked my way up to jets flying outside the country to sing for the most powerful people in entertainment. The biggest names wanted to know who I was. I felt like my life mattered.

I had women all over the world that followed my every move and were prepared to marry me. Mothers who would leave their kids alone at 2am to sleep with me. I didn't have to work because I had multimedia deals. My life was paid for. I was on the brink of my dream coming true until I went to see the doctor.

"Within 1 year, you will be a paraplegic. You will never walk again and your dream to be a singer is over," stated the doctor. I was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. A year later, I had lost all my music deals. No one in music wanted anything to do with me. I could not walk and was preparing to commit suicide. I did, however, still have a lot of women. I settled down and became a husband to a woman.

Something was very wrong. I had lost my dream, my ability to walk, my will to live and was pretending to be a male. God gave me an ultimatum, "Leave sin completely and I will save your pitiful career and fragmented life or you will die." Not only that but now I had to sing for Him and no one else and then maybe I could be somebody.

That was 5 years ago. I'm still a paraplegic but I am an exlesbian that tours extensively speaking and singing for God. I walk alone with Him because it is His will.
