In Egypt leopard skins were worn by the pagan priests. Egyptian priests wearing leopard skins could be found walking behind the apis bull in sacred processions. Check Egyptian history. In Egypt cats were also worshipped. Bast (Bastet, Ubasti) was the Egyptian cat goddess. God’s animals are special; however, they are not to be worshipped or taken out of context. Today, though not necessarily in sacred processions, the leopard skin design (pattern)continues to be taken out of context in any way. The leopard skin design is being marketed as the essence of seduction. For instance, many undergarments are being made in the leopard skin design. One very popular lingerie company even placed a full size poster in their window displaying their leopard skin undergarments with the woman who modeled for them wearing whiskers and cat ears with her body painted like a leopard. This is not a new concept. Cats are many times used to portray seduction.

It has been my experience that many people who struggle to overcome seduction will usually have their bedrooms covered in the leopard skin design. Some of the people that are captivated by this pattern will even mimic cat like behavior during sexual relations. Using the leopard design as a symbol of sensuality is taking God’s original creation out of context and the result is sexual bondage. In an effort to destroy man, who is made in God’s image, Satan and his evil spirits are trying to tempt people to mimic animals. Through the false worship of yoga, Shamanism, and other methods people are attempting to unite with or transform themselves into animals, which is an abomination! Satan will use any means to try and undermine God’s people, including using images of God’s creatures (animals). Why wouldn’t Satan try and use animals; after all, three of his four faces are animal likenesses! See Ezekiel 28:12-15 for confirmation that Satan (Lucifer) was created as a cherub, and see Ezekiel Chapters 1 & 10 for cherub description. Also, scripture describes the Satanic beast in both Daniel and Revelation as RESEMBLING A LEOPARD. Daniel 7:6: After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Revelation 13:2: And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him power, and his seat, and great authority.

Know Your Enemy: The 5 Types of White Liberal Men

There are a few types of liberal White males that exist and today we're going to cover five of them. They are creepy, they are emotional, they are illogical and they all play an important role in erasing us.

The most integral part of the struggle for White survival is for you to understand who your enemy is and then study them; know them like the back side of your hand. Understand the way they think to make yourself a more formidable debater. Understand how to exploit the loopholes, double-standards, and fallacy in their emotional pleas to erase the White race from planet earth.

Now here we are, the five types of White liberal men.

1. The Blue Pill Beta Male.

These are the kinds of men who you find identifying as feminists because they think it'll get them laid. Little do they know women really aspire to be with an Alpha male. Perhaps that is why the majority of feminists have rape fantasies to the point they invent terms like "rape culture." Nonetheless, these men typically surround themselves with social justice warrior White females with multicolored hair, nose piercings and oversized eyeglasses and kowtow to their social outrage causes.

2. The White Husband Who Gets Off Watching His Wife Bang Black Guys.

These types of White liberals are particularly gross. The problem they have is more or less rooted in a serious psychological disease that stems from an addiction to hardcore pornography. They need to find something more and more taboo and the only thing they can eventually achieve satisfaction on is by abusing themselves by handing their wives, and sometimes daughters, off to Black men. They also have an inherent inferiority complex. They buy into the Jewish poison that White men are inferior sexual providers to their women as propagated in the Jewish media commercials, television shows, movies and music. A part of this, particularly among the younger generation of White communists is as some sort of penance for the since of their "racist ancestors." Seriously, there is a whole corner of the internet dedicated to this filth. They aren't open about their hatred for White people but you can bet they were amongst the first to line up to vote for Barack Obama, twice.

3. The Academic White Communist.

Under any other circumstances like not having wealthy parents, they would have become a gutter rat ANTIFA activist. But their parents who have worked hard their entire lives to accumulate a savings account and send their kids to university end up with a child who get indoctrinated in "gender studies" and "white privilege" sociology classes. They buy the malarky of their Jewish communist professors who are burnouts from the 1960s hippie movement. Bring it all down, man. They use words and phrases like "structural racism" and "white privilege" and express particular concern about "rape culture." He may even go so far as to post pictures to his Tumblr and Twitter accounts of himself holding up sharpie markered signs saying "this is what a feminist looks like" or notes about his "White skin privilege." What these people do is regurgitate the kind of far-left nonsense that their professors teach them. They live so well, their life is so great, they have so many opportunities that they need to find something wrong with the world and adhere to neo-Marxist nonsense.

4. The Union Worker.

I'm having a hard time with this one simply because it is tough to consider drywall hangers, carpenters, painters, plumbers and other craftsmen as "liberal" by the 2015 standard. Your average unionized contractor more than likely does not want his daughter marrying Tyrone and certainly does not buy into the "White Privilege" bullshit but for all intents and purposes he is as dangerous to the future of the White race as number's 1-3 on our list and I'll tell you why. The union worker primarily votes Democrat and by default liberal for purely economic reasons. Whether you realize it or not, the "union thug" who votes blue to save his pension and platinum health benefits and 6 weeks of vacation is almost as harmful to White society as the ghetto waste in the Section 8 housing development who is eating McDonalds, smoking Newports and drinking Miller High Life on your dime. Would you believe these two people are voting alongside these people? The sheer greed of many White males to vote such a way to preserve their own arbitrary wealth has been and continues to be devastating and will ultimately be what gets Hilary Clinton elected in 2016. Sure, voting Republican would send his son to fight Israel's wars but holy cow, you can thank this type of White liberal for Barack Obama.

5. The One Who Is Starting to Get It.

There comes a time when every man has to take a long, hard look in the mirror and answer to himself. There is undoubtedly a contingent of well-intentioned White male liberals who realize that no matter how much Social Justice Warrioring around they do they will still be considered the ultimate scum of society. All of the men on this list, perhaps with the exception of number two who is who he is because of childhood abuse and perverted pornography addiction, will in due time realize that they just aren't welcomed and certainly aren't needed anymore. The feminists truly hate men so they no longer need the pity points since enough of the idiots in America believe in farces like "rape culture" and "gender inequality." The campus chapter of the Black Panthers and Muslim Brotherhood will capitalize on the emotionality of White women and no longer need White men to kiss their ass. The mass expanding non-White population in America will be enough to get Democrats elected and the pensions of union workers will be unfunded liabilities and the first thing to go when the shit hits the fan.

You can bet your bottom dollar that a ton of White liberal males of all ages in all corners of the United States are starting to take long and hard look at the lunacy of the world around them. They're evaluating all of the time they have wasted being a Social Justice Warrior and eventually take that step toward being a conservative with a brain instead of a conservative with no heart.

Howard calls The Da Vinci Code fiction, yet he promoted the film around the country by saying that the film was based upon scholarly research. It's the same old tactic of Satan, that is, to hide a big lie between two truths to deceive people. By claiming the blasphemous film is fiction, it gives them an excuse to give the churches. In reality, tens-of-millions of unsaved people have bought into the lying propaganda.

The 1980's game Dungeons And Dragons was just fiction too, which led to thousands of youth committing senseless crimes (even murder) while acting out their fantasy role character in the game. One of Satan's most effective deceptions is to blur the lines of fiction with reality, because the human sub-consciousness can easily confuse the two.

Quote# 110970

As someone who is adopted, I resent that adoption is being co-opted by homosexualists to manufacture human beings, tear them away from biological parents, and put them in objectively harmful and unnatural family situations.

I don't know much about my birth parents except they were young, unmarried, well-educated and 3/4ths Irish. My mother may well have aborted me if she'd had the chance (it was 1971). Instead I was carefully carried to term, given up perhaps reluctantly, and placed quickly with the most loving parents I could imagine. Sacramentally married, they are permanently infertile and longed for children. My sister was adopted later. My parents never stopped, sponsoring a destitute Indian child through CNEWA, and taking in a never-ending stream of rescue cats. My parents have an abundance of love and share it with everyone they meet. They have plumbed the depths of the true meaning of marriage. Homosexuals can never have any of this.

(commenting on an article discussing Hilary Clinton's nefarious Latino 'power grab,' and what the GOP should do about it...)

Cliff, I could not agree more. The Republicans are wasting their time pandering to the Hispanics. They need to focus on White Christians and Conservatives. They should even focus on blue collar Americans, with the argument that the Demoncrats are taking away their jobs by allowing in the 10's of millions of illegals. Never the less, I fear the worst for this next election. Either Hillary gets elected, or Jeb Bush gets elected. (I am supporting Trump). Either way, both are in Lucifer's back pocket, and which ever one wins, this country is doomed. But, on the bright side, maybe the Wrath of God and Rapture will happen within the next few years!!

One of my sons had been dating a girl for a short while, that claimed she was interested in becoming a Christian. The relationship puzzled me, for when he was with her he seemed quite enamored of her. Yet when he was apart from her, he had no interest in her at all. When I went to the Lord with it, He told me to break all witches spells over him, and the next day after doing this, he broke it off with her for good. We then found out later, that she and a friend of hers who was a witch, had placed a spell over my son, to cause him to like her. She never wanted to become a believer. She was already a witch instead.

There is proof of God all around us... "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." This Scripture should scare you immensely if you are a professed atheist or Christ-rejecter. God won't accept any excuses on Judgment Day. All the "proof" you need is outside your front door.

I have met countless skeptics and naysayers who demanded "proof" of the truth I attempted to share with them. It is sad and hypocritical that such people blindly accept the unproven theories of Evolution and the junk science of Global Warming; while simultaneously requiring documentable, irrefutable, incontestable proof of the validity of God's Word. Why the double standard? it just goes to show that such people hate the truth and you simply can't talk sense to them.

Quote# 110953

We are supposedly living in an age of merit, where the best rise to the top through a selective process that rewards valuable traits. This so-called meritocracy is often used to explain away our growing economic inequality. Those who make it, you see, just have the right stuff. This idea of merit was largely invented and is fostered by elite institutions, which pride themselves on selecting for what they call merit. Perhaps it’s a relic of Calvinist predestination, in which a member of the “elect” is destined to be graced by God.

While it’s true that having talent, determination and grit still matters a great deal, we ought to take a closer look at the meritocratic process and what traits it professes to value. Additionally, the traits it fosters and its results are important indicators of what these people and institutions call “merit.”

So, what do we find? A notion of merit that has no room for the traditional virtues yet encourages what used to be known as sin. We find a glorification of pride, greed, lust and gluttony, among others.

Using the seven deadly sins as a standard, let’s examine our “meritocracy” and how it measures up:

Lust

Promiscuity, licentiousness and all manner of sexual practices are cherished and valued in our elite institutions of higher learning. Not only are they protected, but often celebrated by students and schools alike. Extramarital sex is seen as a “right,” while traditional marriage is frowned upon and ridiculed.
Gluttony

Gluttony is not strictly about overeating; it also applies to those who do not eat simply, who seek out strange foods, and who have elaborate rituals around eating. The urban trends of shopping at Whole Foods, eating out at chic restaurants frequently, and seeking out trendy foods fits right into the category of gluttony. Obsessive preoccupation with health food is another example, as is binging and purging. Eating disorders are, for the most part, examples of gluttony, and are common among the people of merit.
Greed

This one goes without saying. An important reason people strive to become members of the meritocratic elite is to make more money. They dream of fancy homes in upscale neighborhoods, isolated from the great unwashed. They want to take trips to Paris and Rome, own the newest, trendiest gadgets and wear the finest clothes.
Sloth

Most people who make it into meritocratic institutions are not layabouts, but they do often fail to put any significant work into developing their spiritual/humanitarian side. Instead of striving to become better people, they focus on networking with the powerful, and thereby betray a general lack of sincerity in their contrived humanitarianism. An example of this is the filler “humanitarian” work they do only to pad out their applications and resumés rather than for any real concern for people in need. On the academic side, they have begun to cheat with alarming frequency, which demonstrates a form of laziness.
Wrath

The rage many of our elites feel toward the common American people is all too obvious. Their searing contempt for what they call “ignorant” people, particularly the more humble, religious sort, can manifest itself in almost demonic denunciations and displays of ethnic and religious hatred. This is especially true of feminists, who have an inordinate fondness for hate porn, particularly when directed against those they perceive as part of the “patriarchy.”
Envy

Envy is often what is behind the desire to join the meritocracy in the first place. For many students and finished elites alike, the institutions themselves provide the tools and opportunities to seize that which they covet, and to profit from the losses of others.
Pride

Pride is the foremost of sins, and it is also the defining characteristic of the new elite. They take enormous pride in being elevated above their fellow countrymen, and wallow in this pride to no end. The American meritocracy is, above all, a collection of the very proud, secure in their superiority.

Of course, we can point out sin in all sorts of groups of people, but my little exercise here was intended to get people to think about what it means when we throw terms like “merit” around. There’s no doubt that people who make it to the top usually possess admirable qualities and talents, but when these are put to use in rotten ways, what they call merit is actually meretricious.

I could find it in myself to excuse some of the excesses of the elite if they compensated for them with good works, but because they have rejected what most of us see as virtuous, it’s difficult to find much redeeming about them at this point.

Biblical Marriage the Casualty of the "Sexual Revolution"

With Biblical marriage reeling under the attack by the virulent gay rights activists, we should have seen it coming. For fifty years, one court case after another has jackhammered away at the foundations of the family.

In most of history, “recreational sex” has replaced God’s plan for “one flesh” bonding of husband and wife when God’s laws are ignored.

Contraceptives were the first issue. In 1965, in a Connecticut case (Griswold v. Connecticut) involving the sale of contraceptives to married couples, an ominous seed was planted. Here the court "discovered" a right to privacy in the Bill of Rights for individuals instead of just in the sanctity of marriage.

By this time, godless Humanism had grown strong roots in our schools and legislatures. If man was truly the spearhead of evolution's progress, then whatever man wanted to do must be good, and whatever he did in private was nobody's business.

No unwanted blob of tissue growing in a womb could be allowed to hinder the enjoyment of those involved. So, in 1973, the court gave the owner of that womb permission to medically eliminate that inconvenience (Roe v. Wade).

More arrows in the heart of marriage followed rapidly. A Missouri case cut fathers out of the picture by voiding a law requiring spousal and parental consent to an abortion (Planned Parenthood of Central Missouri v. Danforth).

Parents of children were next. A New York law barring sale of contraceptives to 15-year-olds and younger was voided (Carey v. Population Services International). Parents no longer had the right to know if their child was planning premarital sex.In 1979, a Massachusetts law requiring parental consent for a minor’s abortion was struck down in Bellotti v. Baird.

Along the way, Texas’ anti-sodomy law was considered a violation of man’s “right to privacy” and was struck down in 2003 in Lawrence v. Texas.

With the foundations of marriage thus weakened, marriage itself came under fire. In 1993, Hawaii’s Supreme Court decided that the state’s marriage law violated the equal protection provision of the state constitution by not considering “sexual orientation.”

This direct attack on man-woman marriage alerted many, and the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) passed congress by a wide margin and many state legislatures passed similar bills.

However, gay rights activists, having succeeded in changing the discussion from “sexual preference” to “sexual orientation,” began attacking marriage in earnest.

If the evolving human animal now included a newly discovered sexual “orientation,” then it was “discrimination” to forbid any of the expressions of that sexuality. Anyone confused over his sexuality could claim victimhood when forbidden to explore new sexual experiments.

Federal and state governments rushed to add legal protection for these “victims,” adding “sexual orientation” to the long list of protected categories along with race, age, and disabilities discrimination.

In 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the DOMA (Windsor v. United States) after the president and the Justice Dept. refused to enforce it. The battle then moved to the States where bills were passed by popular vote to protect marriage. Powerful gay activists, many made rich by blossoming tech companies, poured millions into a blistering campaign against these votes. Across the country, homosexual judges or those sympathetic to the cause invalidated the laws put in place by the people, using anti-discrimination and personal privacy arguments.

Now, the drive is to eliminate any tattered remnant of normal marriage and put the bull’s eye squarely on the back of those who follow a biblical God.

Since marriage is the central issue, anyone who refuses to bake a wedding cake or design flowers for a same-sex wedding must be made an example of. And the complaints are lodged and fines imposed and everyone wonders what happened.

But this locomotive has been coming out of the dark tunnel for a long time. Only courageous soul winners can stop it. In past revivals no-nonsense gospel literature has played a vital role. We need to plant God’s truth about marriage far and wide.

Here are some helpful resources that you can use to saturate our communities with the Truth:

Last September, in a third meeting with Pope Francis, former Israeli President, Shimon Peres,  suggested that a “U.N. of religions” be established and that the pope would be a good person to head it up. Peres noted that past wars were motivated by conquests for territory, but modern wars are now being “sparked above all with the excuse of religion.”

He suggested that the best way to “combat these terrorists who kill in the name of faith” would be to have someone with “an unquestionable moral authority that says in a strong voice ‘No, God does not want this and does not permit it.’”

Peres was interviewed by the Italian Catholic magazine, Famiglia Cristiana where he said that he believed that Pope Francis should be that “strong voice” because “he is perhaps the only leader who is truly respected.”

How sad that this former leader of God’s chosen people is so blinded by the Vatican’s new posture of friendship and the unbiblical dream of world harmony without Jesus. Yet, they do see that the only solution to present world chaos is world government, but overlook the fact that it will not work until Jesus, Himself, is the “strong voice” who will be able to command necessary “respect” when He returns to rule the world from Jerusalem.

Several Chick tracts are designed to show that only when Jesus returns will true peace on earth be established. Until then, the god of this world, Satan, will continue deceiving world leaders with the pipe dream of global harmony.

Tracts like The Beast, Global Warming,The Only Hope, Things to Come, Let’s Fly Away and Where Did They Go, Crusader Comics Chaos and The Alberto Series,  and paperbacks on evolution and Roman Catholicism all help to warn about Satan’s end-time lies he has used to persuade the world that they can have heaven on earth without Jesus in charge of it.

Saturation of your community with the tracts will identify those who want to know more and then the comics and paperbacks can be used to educate them in Biblical truth.

Let me ask you guys a question. Let's say there was a large building about to be demolished or burned down. There may or may not be 55 million innocent people inside this building. You ask the demolition crew if they've checked to see whether there are any people in this building, and they respond with "It's difficult to decide," or "I don't care much" or "I have mixed feelings on it." The logical thing to do is withhold destroying the building until you know with absolute certainty that no lives would be lost because of your actions.

The point is, only a morally bankrupt person would support the possible extermination of 55 million lives. I don't care if it's in the name of bodily autonomy or choice or whatever, nothing is more sacred and important and worthy of protecting than innocent human life. If the demolition chief even said, "I am 99% sure there is no human life in that building," even that would never be considered acceptable. Someone would be considered a fool to risk 55 million lives on a 99% chance. And not just a fool, a deranged, morally bankrupt lunatic. That's what I see when I hear people say they're pro-choice but have mixed feelings on abortion.

Considering the spotlight that homosexuality, transgenderism and various sexual deviances have demanded, we must engage in a conversation about the ramifications such activity—in the church.

In fact, the so called "gay Christian" movement is gaining traction all over the world as is the sanctioning of homosexual marriage in some of the largest denominations.

Unfortunately, immorality has always infected the church. In the book of Revelation we see a severe example of this, and an equally severe reaction by God:

"I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience, and that your last works are more than the first. But I have a few things against you: You permit that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, but she did not repent. Look! I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. I will put her children to death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the hearts and minds. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds" (Rev. 2:19-23).

The church in Thyatira was on God's radar for their works, love and faith, but also for tolerating sexual immorality in the church.

So many have fallen for an unbiblical definition of true love that is devoid of correction or standards. It feels more like warm, fuzzy, emotional highs and affirmation of people regardless of their lifestyle, which is not biblical love. Love can feel quite repulsive and alienating at times. God is love. He can't avoid it! This God of love, in the above passage, refused to play games with the issue of sexual immorality in the church. His response? Repent or be thrown into great tribulation!

Consider this question: "If you were a pastor and someone who identified as a 'gay Christian' started attending your church, or someone didn't feel it was sinful to have sex with their boyfriend or girlfriend outside of marriage, what would you do?"

People most always respond by saying, "Love them."

OK, but what does that look like? Again, most would say that we should encourage, share the truth with them and pray that they would stay connected in church and eventually see the error of their ways.

This counsel is in contradiction with the Word of God. I asked this question on Facebook just a moment ago, and I'm so proud of my son Skylar who, on a lunch break at work at Silver Dollar City here in Branson, Missouri, responded by typing in: 1 Corinthians 5. He's right:

"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that a man has his father's wife. But you are arrogant. Instead you should have mourned, so that he who has done this deed might be removed from among you. For indeed, though absent in body but present in spirit, I have already, as if I were present, judged him who has done this deed, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you are assembled, along with my spirit, in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus" (1 Cor. 5:1-5).

This passage also uses a form of the word "tolerate." Sexual immorality is not to be tolerated. Jezebel and the sexual perversion she promotes is not to be tolerated. The demand in today's culture is for tolerance in the midst of sexual perversion. This has crept into the culture of the church and it is time to act.

God is not tolerant. His is longsuffering, but certainly not tolerant of perversion—especially within the church. This is His bride!

What is the loving reaction that leaders must have when unrepentant sexual immorality is discovered in the church? That person is to be removed. He is to be delivered to Satan for the destruction of their flesh—so that his spirit may be saved!

This is love!

Of course, there are significant differences between someone who is struggling with, for example, pornography and someone who indulges in it freely without repentance or any plan to change.

There is also a difference between a professing Christian who refuses to repent of sexual sin and a heathen who refuses to repent. The former is to be removed from the church while the latter should be welcomed with open arms in hopes that they are radically, gloriously saved! And, yes, at that time they will be held to an entirely different standard.

The passage in 1 Corinthians 5 continues:

"Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch? Therefore purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new batch, since you are unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, nor with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I did not mean the sexually immoral people of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or the idolaters, since you would then need to go out of the world. But I have written to you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Do not even eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But God judges those who are outside. Therefore 'put away from among yourselves that wicked person'" (1 Cor. 5:6-13).

If one who calls themselves a brother or sister in Christ are sexually immoral, greedy, idolatrous, a reviler, drunkard or swindler—we can't even sit down at Starbucks with them! We can't invite them over for a barbecue on the Forth of July!

This is love!

If we don't take swift action the entire church will become infected. A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

"And do not let sexual immorality, or any impurity, or greed be named among you, as these are not proper among saints" (Eph. 5:3).

The police officer should be charged for leaking a sealed report. A child made a mistake, he sinned, and the world acts as though he is an immoral deviant as an adult. Sexual activity is rampant among teens in the world, but few will be slandered in public media for it. Hopefully, they won't be, so they can move past the sins of their youth without fear of an irresponsible, vindictive person trying ruin their lives.

Quote# 110945

The Matthew Shephard Act is harmful for two major reasons: First, it uses the name and experience of a white cisgender man to exemplify queerphobic hate violence, whereas 89% of folks killed in LGBT hate violence are people of color, and three-in-four are transgender women.

The brunt of this violence, then, is not directed at white cis men, but at folks who are further marginalized within the LGBT community.

Shifting attention to “gay” as a singular identity, rather than the multiple oppressions that most survivors of hate violence carry distracts from the intersectionalities of race, gender, and sexual oppression.

Campaigns that center white men as the main targets of anti-LGBT violence are missing the point. More than that, they’re wrong.

[All formatting original]

The doctrine of reprobation is one of the most despised doctrines of the Christian faith. It is despised by the irreligious and unconcerned, and it is despised by most who come in the name of Christianity. In spite the common notion that there is a dichotomy between "Arminians" and "Calvinists," people in both of these camps hate the true doctrine of reprobation. Some will dismiss it out of hand, while others will try to explain it away or water it down. This article, which is based on sermons this author has preached from Romans 9:11-22, will present the biblical doctrine of reprobation that exalts God and abases man.

[...]

Why did God emphasize that He loved Jacob before Jacob had done anything good and hated Esau before Esau had done anything bad? Because He was showing that election and reprobation are both unconditional. They are not based on anything that Jacob or Esau did or did not do. Some false religionists say that God looked down through time and saw who would believe and then chose to save them, which is an utterly ridiculous and blasphemous notion. That makes salvation conditioned on what God foresaw man would do, and it would make God's choosing merely an empty gesture, since it was man who chose his own destiny, and God just affirmed it. But the truth in this passage is undeniable. God's choosing - God's election to life and reprobation to death - is completely, absolutely, totally without precondition. God did not decide to save Jacob once He found out that Jacob would be a good person or would believe. God did not decide to damn Esau once He found out that Esau would be a bad person or would not believe. God's decision was based purely on His own sovereign will and had nothing to do with the will of the sinner.

It is a given that Arminians hate the doctrine of unconditional reprobation. But it might surprise the reader that most Calvinists hate this doctrine as well. They will claim to love unconditional election, yet when it comes to reprobation, they turn into conditionalists. They say that God reprobates a person based on something in the person. They say that God reprobated Esau based on something in Esau. And who better to represent and articulate this heretical notion than the most popular Calvinist himself, Charles H. Spurgeon?

[...]

The reader might think that anyone who professes belief in the absolute sovereignty of God would easily embrace the truth that God actively hardens people and actively causes sin. After all, a God who does not control all actions and events, including the sins of men and angels, is not God. But most who say they believe in the absolute sovereignty of God do not believe this. They will say that God is in control of everything, but not that He controls everything, and they concoct all kinds of theories in order to justify their view of their god who does not cause everything while remaining sovereign. They use high-sounding catch-phrases such as: "God withholds His restraining grace," "God withdraws His gracious influences," and "God leaves men to their natural blindness, to the hardness and unrestrained tendencies of their hearts, to the corruptions of their nature, to their own depraved wills and desires so they are free to act according to their own inclinations and the free exercise of their evil dispositions." These might sound good in Satanic seminaries and pulpits, but they have absolutely no basis in God's Word.

Because according to evolution nothing/no other species but man has evolved.
Think about that. Our cognitive functions and skills are far advanced beyond that of animals...
We can do and think far more than any animals.
What makes us different to the millions of species of animals on the planet still living as they did when first created?

After Gay Marriage What Comes Next?

The recent decision by the Supreme Court to legalize gay marriage is a major indication that America has lost its way. The true moment of hopelessness occurred to me several days prior to the ruling when it dawned on me that I knew exactly how the vote would go. The proponents of same-sex marriage have spent so much time destroying the biblical foundations of our nation, it was easy to determine that the Supreme Court would bow to the will of the pop culture.

CBS News showed its involvement in the gay agenda by showing clips from a 1967 documentary. It was called The Homosexuals, and it was an eye opener to see how drastically moral values have changed in America. Even though CBS only gave a mild endorsement of the alternative lifestyle at that time, the network could not find a single company that would allow their ads to run during the program.

A homosexual man being interviewed in the documentary made the strange move of only allowing himself to be interviewed from behind a house plant. He had a good reason to be camera shy. Back in 1967, there was only one state in the union where it was legal to be a practicing homosexual. You would be fired from any high-profile job if it was learned that you had same sex preferences. Gays were on the same level of drug dealers and prostitutes.

Today, homosexuality is seen as normal. Corporations are now proud to sponsor gay events. All the limits on jobs have been removed. The CEO of Apple, the largest company by market capitalization, was proud to come out of the closet as a gay man. Christians and conservatives, who oppose the sin of homosexuality are now seen in a negative light.

The moral struggle will not end with gay marriage. It will quickly become obvious how little homosexuals care about monogamous relationships. Sure, gays wanted the legitimacy that comes with marriage but they still prefer to whore around with multiple partners.

[...]

We are now at the point where all is left for the gay lobby is for them to come after Christians. Because there is no long-term satisfaction is sin, homosexuals will always be driven to force others to approve of their lifestyle. If the left had their way, 100 percent attendance would be required at the next gay pride parade. Anyone not seen waving the rainbow flag would be sent off to re-education camp.

Quote# 110938

For a long time...I too used to have sinful thoughts about other men. I even was involved in a relationship with another man. I thought I loved. We kissed. We laughed. We held hands. We thought we loved each other. When my mother found out, she was outraged by this sin. So, because she loved and respected me so much, she decided to get me help so I could be cured of my sin. Now I am good in the eyes of God. Sure, I still have some sinful thoughts about other men. I'll never act on my sinful urges ever again. I made a promise to mother.

You made a promise to your mother to hide your sexual orientation and be something that you're not. Why do you think that this is a good thing?

Well, I always think of it this way: a prisoner goes to prison to be reformed. The justice system sends people to jail so they can learn a lesson. After the lesson is learned, and the prisoner is reformed...he may be released so he may spread the words of good and righteousness.

The push back has begun. Christian business owners, lawyers, parents, judges, county clerks, organizations, universities, hospitals, adoption agencies and other individuals and groups have been given an ultimatum by five unelected, unaccountable liberals in Washington, D.C.: "You must now obey us and disobey God. You must pretend, with us, that sin-based same-sex 'marriage' is an actual thing."

To which we say, "Not on your life."

"Or our own."

Absolute truth is a stubborn thing. Attempts at marital alchemy notwithstanding, the highly contentious, wholly contemptible 5-4 "gay marriage" opinion (and that's all it is, an opinion) released last week by five pagan extremists in black robes is altogether illegitimate and should be treated as such.

[...]

This opinion, which has been branded "the Dred Scott of marriage," has not changed, one iota, the fixed and immovable reality that the institution of marriage, an institution as old as mankind itself, is, and shall forever remain, centrally defined by its binary male-female requirement.

[...]

Many of us have long warned that this day would come, and it has arrived. In the Spirit of Daniel the prophet and MLK the reverend, we Christians must now engage, as relates our peaceful response to the imposition of counterfeit same-sex "marriage," in widespread civil disobedience. It's the right thing to do. In fact, it's a sin if we don't.

[...]

In the ongoing culture war, it seems there are no rules of engagement. The secular left will accept nothing short of unconditional surrender. That is to say, the pagans demand that we Christians abandon the biblical worldview altogether, and adopt their own.

This will never happen.

In his "letter from the Birmingham jail," Martin Luther King Jr. famously declared, "One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

"A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God," he explained. "An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law."

An unjust law is, in point of fact, lawlessness.

One can imagine nothing more "out of harmony with the moral law," than the twisted and oxymoronic notion of so-called "same-sex marriage."

Quote# 110936

Women having agency is the most dangerous idea in the world right now, dangerous to women and manginas at any rate. If a person has agency, then that person is responsible for their own actions. If a person doesn’t have agency then that person is not responsible for their actions. If you want to avoid being held responsible or accountable for your actions, then you need to convince the world that you have no agency. And that is what women did (except for MRAs and MGTOW). The idea of women having agency is dangerous because if enough men start believing it, those men will hold women responsible for their actions. Women will be forced to deal with the same standards of accountability as men. This would be an outright disaster for women because they would be exposed for the frauds, feral children, and in some cases criminals that they are.

[On New York City's linguistic diversity and the problems it raises]

One of the forms God’s judgment takes is a confusion of languages. According to Genesis 11, when a monolingual people became consumed with pride and arrogance, and intended to “make a name for (themselves)” by “building a tower with its top in the heavens,” God intervened by making it impossible for them to communicate with each other.

[...]

Their ability to collaborate together for evil purposes was broken by a babble of languages, and they soon scattered. Their plans, because they were not aligned with God’s, came to nought.

The lesson here may be that, when a nation turns from the humble worship of the true and living God to hubristic self-reliance, God may judge that nation by making linguistic communication impossible.

Bottom line: God may not need to judge American by confusing our language. We’re doing a pretty good job of that all by ourselves. Or perhaps, this is the way a sovereign God is bringing his judgment on a land that has turned its back on him.

Quote# 110933

May Jesus rightly be deemed intolerant of the original and actual sin and propensities of fallen mankind? Could it be said that he practiced a form of 'spiritual conversion therapy'? Should he be considered one who attempted to force his own spiritual morality upon the people?

[...]

By today's standards Jesus would most probably be deemed an intolerant radical, regardless of the mercy and kindness he bestowed upon the multitude. The PC police of our day would swiftly label Jesus a bigoted hate speaker for promoting himself as the only true source of redemption and for expounding on the consequence of sinful rebellion.

[...]

If Jesus walked among us he would be completely rejected. Sin, in particular, has become a foreign concept deemed too offensive for mainstream, secular society (and even many churches of today).

Quote# 110932

Franklin Graham is not calling the pastors and evangelists of this nation to do something he is not willing to do himself. He has, in fact, become the model of a prophetic voice speaking out boldly against the sins of our nation. In the process he has taken the bull by the horns on many occasions. Consider his comments on the following social and moral issues:

Abortion - "There is no place for compromise on straightforward issues such as abortion... God has given us clear biblical direction that we must follow and obey... As a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ, I believe this is a nonnegotiable issue. Abortion is wrong. It is the murder of unborn children, and no law of the land and no party platform can ever legitimize it."

Gun Control - "The gun control proposals now circulating in Washington and in many state capitals don't address a more important issue - the constant strain of violence put forth by the entertainment industry [in movies, music and video games]. But the problem - the real crux of the issue - lies not in the instruments of violence used... The root of violence is in the evil and depraved heart of man."

Islam - "Islam is a religion of hatred. It's a religion of war." "For Muslims, peace comes only through supmission to Islam. When they speak of peace, they mean supmission to their religion... Worldwide, tens of thousands of men, women and children have been slaughtered in the name of Allah, under the bloody flag of Islam."

ISIS - "The evil of ISIS really shouldn't shock us - it is fully in keeping with their ultimate agenda of hastening a final apocalypse... One thing is for sure - one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Hinduism - "No elephant with 100 arms can do anything for me. None of their 9,000 gods is going to lead me to salvation."

Same-Sex Marriage - "True followers of Jesus Christ... cannot endorse same-sex marriage, regardless of what our President, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the media or the latest Gallup poll says about the matter... This moral issue has been settled by God Himself and is not supject to man-made revisions or modifications. In the end, I would rather be on the wrong side of public opinion than on the wrong side of Almighty God who established the standard of living for the world He created."

Homosexuality - "The church is on dangerous ground when it departs from the teaching of Christ and attempts to redefine His commands and compromise His truth. There are many things in Scripture that Christians disagree on, but the Bible is crystal clear about the sanctity of life and marriage. It is also clear that homosexuality is spelled out as sin — there are not ifs, ands or buts."

Transgender Restrooms - "[The idea] is not only ridiculous, it's unsafe. Common sense tells us that this would open the door, literally, to all sorts of serious concerns, including giving sexual predators access to children. It violates every sense of privacy and decency for people of both sexes, adults and children."

Secularism - "When the Berlin Wall came down, everybody said we had won... [but then] Secularism came. And Secularism and Communism are the same thing. They're godless. They're anti-Christ."

Christian Persecution - "Even in America there has recently grown an ugly, anti-Christian bias and intolerance that is changing our nation from the inside out, opening doors for all kinds of discrimination and loss of religious freedom that we hear about daily in the news."

Government - "We're living now in a time where we see the spirit of Antichrist is at the government level." "I have no confidence that any politician or any party is going to turn this country around. The only hope for this country is for men and women of God to take a stand."
