Quote# 118469

When you assume that you can read God’s mind for Him and accurately anticipate His will in every situation, you assume incorrectly. In the Bible, we find God telling fathers to kill their children (Abraham, Jephthah & the Levites). We find Him telling soldiers to commit genocide. We find Him ordering cities to be burned to the ground and never rebuilt. We find Him turning sincere believers into powerful politicians who helped run their governments as they worked alongside a bunch of demon worshiping sorcerers (Daniel & Joseph). Does God want His people involved in politics? Absolutely. Does He want His people going to war? Yes. God wants all kinds of things, and sometimes His orders get downright bizarre. God told the prophet Isaiah to walk around naked for years. He told the prophet Ezekiel to lie in the dirt for over a year. He told the prophet Jeremiah to walk around wearing a wooden yoke around his neck. He told Gideon how to set up a deceptive ruse on the battlefield. He approved of the prophet Elisha publicly lying to a bunch of enemy soldiers and then leading them into an ambush. You can’t anticipate God—He’s wild and unpredictable. He has a long history of handing out some very bizarre orders. Yet because God is so powerful and so able to make your life a misery, He really isn’t Someone you should be trifling with.

An Idaho man filed a bizarre lawsuit citing Mosaic law to force a state employee’s family into servitude as punishment for suspending his driver’s license.

Peter Christian Jensen IV finally filed the lawsuit last week against Edward Pemble, who works for the Idaho Transportation Department, after waging a long and ultimately unsuccessful campaign to avoid paying $221 in filing fees, reported the Cour D’Alene Press.

The 79-year-old Jensen, of Athol, cited his religious belief in only one god, named Yehovah, who handed down his laws to Moses and the Israelites.

“Believers in Yehovah are commanded to obey only his statutes,” Jensen argued in his filing. “As such, (Jensen) is not subject to the jurisdiction of the codes and statutes of the artificial person of the state of Idaho, nor can he be subject to the codes and statutes of any fiction.”

One of those fictions, in Jensen’s view of the law, is the requirement that drivers carry automobile insurance.

Pemble sent a letter Sept. 3 to Jensen informing him that his driver’s license was suspended until he purchased liability insurance.

Jensen had been cited in June 2014 for failing to register his vehicle or purchase insurance, and he was found guilty during a subsequent trial was was fined $198.50 and jailed five days for contempt of court.

He then began a campaign against Pemble using tactics and language associated with the “sovereign citizens” movement — a loose grouping of adherents who claim immunity from federal, state and local laws, citing God’s law or common law over constitutional authority.

“(Pemble) does not have the authority to govern the actions of a natural person,” Jensen wrote in one notice. “There is no provision under law whereby (Pemble) can subject a natural person to the codes and statutes of a fictitious entity.”

Pemble never responded to those “notice and demand” letters, and Jensen filed a lawsuit seeking $6,689,940 in damages payable in gold or silver — because he considers currency to be debt.

Jensen argued that the transportation employee had violated his religious liberty by forcing him to “submit to an insurance god and pay its premiums for liability protection,” according to the newspaper report.

Those aren’t even the wildest claims in the April 14 lawsuit.

Jensen argued that, if he prevails in the suit, Mosaic law requires Pemble to pay all damages within 30 days or forfeit all of his assets — and the transportation department worker, his family members and their descendants be forced into bond servitude until the nearly $6.7 million in damages are paid in full.

In the meantime, Jensen asked the court to restore his driving privileges.

If You're Not Married To Somebody, Keep Your Filthy Hands Off Them!

1st Corinthians 7:1-2, “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”

There's not enough preaching in churches today about chastity between the opposite sex. For about a year I had attended a local Independent Baptist Church in 2013-2014. At a church picnic with a bonfire one Sunday afternoon at the church (what they call a “Watchcare” meeting), I saw an unmarried female staff member walk over and start hanging on a married man. These are regular church members. The married man's wife was present, and she approves of this brother/sister kind of paling around between her husband and the single woman. My first thought was, “Why is this single Christian woman, and staff member, hanging on this married man?” I immediately thought, “This would not make a good wife, because she is touching married men already.”

To make matters worse, that same female staff member went to the married couple's home to spend Thanksgiving Day. They're dangerously close to committing adultery. Call me what you want friend, but I know impropriety when I see it! “Impropriety” is defined as: Lacking justification or authorization for close or warm friendship. An unmarried woman is not authorized nor justified to put her hands on a married man. IT IS WICKEDNESS!!! I'm talking about a staff member working for an Independent Baptist Church!!! The man and his wife have been in the church for many years. The Holy Bible teaches in 1st Corinthians 7:1-2 that unmarried couples ought not touch each other!!! Get mad at God, because He said it.

When I attended their church, I refrained from even shaking hands with the teenage girls, to show propriety toward the younger opposite sex. Only if an adult woman extended her hand in the presence of other adults at church, I very carefully and gently, and quickly, shook her hand (so as not to be rude). Sadly, few Christians respect chastity, propriety and virtue anymore. We need a revival of not touching the opposite sex in our churches!!! Letting somebody touch you once says, “You have my permission to touch me twice!” It is a dangerous thing to touch the opposite sex to whom you are not married. Although men are often to blame, many times it is a foolish woman who makes first contact with a married man by hugging him. If you hug or even brag, ladies, on a another married man, you have a permanent place in his heart. The Holy Bible says in 1st Corinthians 7:1-2 to FIND YOUR OWN HUSBAND!!! But you're not going to find a godly man if he sees you hugging on other married men!!! It is a very unwise, and a spiritually dangerous thing, for any Christian woman, married or unmarried, to hug a married man.

Bizzarro America.
Financially and morally bankrupt. Hedonistic and self absorbed. Indulgers in sexual anarchy and despisers of traditional family. And, incredibly, harvester of unborn children for parts!
On top of internally facing the bleakest of futures thanks to her own impending financial collapse, externally her enemies continue to grow stronger, bolder, and more numerous in number by the hour, instinctively gathering around the smell of blood in the water.
But this, THIS, is one of the biggest issues of our time!?

Quote# 118455

It's the tale of an ancient land mammal making its way back to the sea, becoming the forerunner of today's whales. In doing so, it lost its legs, and all of its vital systems became adapted to a marine existence -- the reverse of what happened millions of years previously, when the first animals crawled out of the sea onto land... Another, slightly more recent form, called Ambulocetus, was an amphibious animal."
-Evolution Library, "Whale Evolution," PBS, WGBH Educational Foundation, 2001, retreived Feb 8, 2012, [www.pbs.org]

That quoted article, along with many other public school text books, claims that Ambulocetus is a "missing link," from 50 million years ago, between land dwelling animals, like a cow, and sea dwelling animals, like a whale. Here is some typical textbook propaganda trying to convince students that a land-dwelling mammal evolved into ambulocetus:

Ambulocetus is constructed from a few skeletal fragments discovered by Johannes Thewissen during a dig in Pakistan in 1993. In the following image, side by side, you can see the typical display of ambulocetus by evolutionists (constructed by Thewissen), and just below that are the bones that were actually discovered.

To get the full description of recovered skeleton, see J.G.M. Thewissen, J.G.M., "Fossil evidence for the origin of aquatic locomotion in Archeocete whales," Science, 1994, Vol 263, p. 210–212

Before we go any further, we need to clarify that no fossils can possibly be considered as evidence for evolution. If a scientist finds a bone in the dirt, there is only one thing he knows for certain: It died. He doesn't even know where it died--he only knows where it ended up getting buried. There is no way for a scientist to prove that the bones he found in the dirt had any children that lived, so he can't say that it is the ancestor of anyone. (i.e. Arranging things in order does not prove evolutionary relationships.)

Next, taking a look at how much of the skeleton was found, anyone can see that there was not enough found to tell what that creature looked like. Even though all they found was a few fragments of bones, elaborate artistic images are displayed to deceptively convince students that ambulocetus is evidence for evolution. How do you get these interpretive drawings when no pelvic or legs bones were ever found?

"Its forelimbs were equipped with fingers and small hooves. The hind feet of Ambulocetus, however, were clearly adapted for swimming. Functional analysis of its skeleton shows that it could get around effectively on land and could swim by pushing back with its hind feet and undulating its tail, as otters do today." -Evolution Library, "Whale Evolution," PBS, WGBH Educational Foundation, 2001, retreived Feb 8, 2012, [www.pbs.org]

See how they avoid mentioning anything about the skeleton that was not found? Yet, they show computer-generated models of a complete animal, calling it an evolutionary link.

"But what is not revealed is that Ambulocetus, illustrated as a possible transitional 'link' to the modern whale, is missing its key body part, 'since the pelvic girdle is not preserved.'"
-Brian Thomas, refering back to Johannes Thewissen's 1996 documentation, "Museum's 'Science' Exhibit Leaves More Questions than Answers," Institute for Creation Research, Jan 11, 2010, retrieved Feb 8, 2012 [www.icr.org]

Not only are they assuming much about the functionality for mobility without the proper skeletal model, they also assumed the tail on the evolutionary model from finding one fragment of tail bone 5 meters away from skeleton. Of course, they had no choice but to assume the tail because they already assumed it was a whale, so they had to put a tail on it to make it convincing.

"Major conclusions were made about its mode of walking, and about its tail structure, and yet the important fibula bones, pelvis, and tail bones were not found. Only one tail vertebra was found, and it was five metres away from the rest of the skeleton. But because the researchers assumed the skeleton was of a 'whale', they assumed a long tail for Ambulocetus."
-Dr. Angela Meyer, "The World of Whales," Answers in Genesis, also featured in Creation Ex Nihilo Magazine, Dec 1, 1996, retrieved Feb 8, 2012, [www.answersingenesis.org]

So why are we having to pay to be taught the assumption of an evolutionist as if it's a fact? It shows the desperation of the evolutionists to believe in their religion, and some evolutionists think if they can get a majority to believe it by lying to the students, evolution will somehow magically become true.

Evolutionists will complain about this article with the argument that many more skeletons of this creature have been found, but they still will not admit that the initial discovery was based on pure imagination, and many alterations to the general model have been made since it was first discovered. The bottom line is still that no fossils can be used as evidence for evolution. Those calling ambulocetus "proof for evolution" do so by assuming that evolution is already true before they examine any evidence, which means it is a lie that comes from the religious imagination, not scientific data.

The Channel 4 documentary also had troubling echoes with one of the darkest passages in modern European history: the Third Reich. Nazi propagandists aided the regime’s policies by publicly identifying a group for exclusion by inciting hatred against them and justifying their pariah status to the populace. This was done both crudely and subtly. Such propagandists laid the groundwork for the Nuremberg Laws which were significant anti-Jewish statutes enacted in 1935.[3] Propaganda together with such laws were key to creating ‘the other’: a subhuman class, not worthy of mercy, equal to vermin, requiring extermination for the preservation of the wider German population. Phillips’ language is alarmingly similar. For instance, in the Times, Phillips says Muslims are ‘not like us’.[4] It is for the reader to decide if there are parallels with Nazi propaganda and more recent British right-wing media productions and articles. For those who say I am over reacting or sensationalising, have a look at some of the comments referring to a “civil war ”.[5] Phillips and his co-Islamophobes have created this hostile environment for anti-Muslim bigotry to thrive and gain dinner table acceptability.

One question that seems not to have been asked about the documentary is the motive. Why did he make it? I do not pretend to know Mr Phillips’ mind, but it seems to me a clue was in Anjum Anwar’s reference to school’s ethnic diversity. The proposal, it seems, is for children to be classified by the faith of their parents and for Muslim children to be compelled to attend school with children from other faiths. So there it is. The real objective: our children. David Cameron hinted at it when he spoke of the ‘struggle of our generation’. Prevent, television productions such as those from Phillips and Quilliam foundation statements are all designed to cut off Muslim children from the core tenants of the Islamic faith. The objective is to create a new generation of Muslims; those who are Muslim by name but will bear little resemblance to normative Islam as was revealed by Allah (sub?anahu wa ta?ala). It may take some time but, ultimately, the likely aim is to create a British revised Qur’an to be read only in English and only in government sanctioned mosques; to have lesbian and gay Imams leading weekly prayers; to have ?ijabs replaced by uncovering and to break fasts with a pint of ale. Paradise and Hellfire will only be allegorical and the concept of God will be reduced to humanity’s love for each other. Nothing will be sacred. Nothing will be left without ‘reformation’. I seek refuge in Allah from all this. This is a battle for the souls of our children.

The Independent Baptist Church that I briefly attended for one year, allows female staff members to wear pants. I saw one of their pastor's wives recently in hot shorts. I'm still trying to forget. A few months back I saw her in sexy white tights, and I'm still trying to get her thighs out of my mind!!! It's her fault, not mine! I'm a man, and I'm trying to think right, but she isn't helping. It sure is hard being a Christian man these days, where everywhere you go women are clothed like a harlot. I'd expect that type of immoral values from the ungodly world. You'd think if there was one place in the world where you could feel safe from sexual temptation, it would be around Independent Baptist Church staff members. You can thank worldly Bible colleges like Bob Jones University and Moody Bible Institute for their parts in adding to the problem, who permit female students and staff members to wear PANTS. Folks, any child knows that pants are a man's clothing!

You may think I'm a jerk, but I'm God's kind of jerk! John the Baptist preached against Herod's adultery and it cost John his life! I'm willing to die for my Biblical convictions, are you? Herod's brother's adulterous wife was so angry at the truth, that she had John beheaded! Immodest clothing produces lustful desires in the opposite sex (and nowadays both sexes)!!! You can't expect healthy men to stop being males! I'll preach against women wearing pants, and men wearing dresses, until I go to Heaven!!! And I'll also preach against single women touching married men. If a woman thinks it is ok to touch married men before she is married, don't expect her to remain faithful to her marriage vows if you marry her. What you see is what you get!!!

Sometimes I like to hear the King James Bible while sleeping. I usually fall off to sleep from the soothing voice (not good if driving). But it's important that the voice agrees with you or you might have nightmares or not be able to sleep. Not everyone can sleep while there is background sound. Sometimes I can't either. I recommend trying what works for you. I don't always play the Bible while sleeping. Truthfully, sometimes I get tired of hearing Alexander Scourby's voice because I listen to it so much. I guess that's a good thing. I give it a rest for a few days and then listen again. I'm going to get the King James Bible by James Earl Jones (and another gentleman too) and that'll provide some diversity in sounds. I love Alexander Scourby, but I've heard him hundreds of times.

The human mind is incredibly powerful. Hollywood and television are continually putting garbage and subliminal thoughts into people's minds. Honestly, I'm not sure if the human brain discerns or benefits from hearing the Bible while sleeping, but I'm confident it does. The volume is important. You don't want the volume loud enough to wake you up or keep you from sleeping, but I like to set it where I can at least understand what is being said, so I can listen attentively while falling off to sleep.

The human mind is extremely impressionable, which is why satanists have put all sorts of demonic influences in television, movies, on our dollars bill, and music today. It's an occultists fiesta! If the human brain can grasp messages played backwards in songs, then I'm thinking there's a better than likely chance that the human brain can grasp what's been said while sleeping.

Quote# 118446

The most persuasive—and dangerous—definition for evolution is “change through time.” Just because organisms can be observed to change over a period of time does not mean that all life has a common ancestor. If we think of the classic peppered moth example, we started with light and dark moths (Biston betularia) and ended up with light— and dark—colored moths of the same species in different proportions. This exemplifies the creationist idea of variation within a kind.

The natural selection that produces the variety of living things we see today began after Adam rebelled against God. The concept of natural selection was published in a biblical context by Edward Blyth 24 years before Darwin published Origin of Species. Blyth is forgotten and Darwin is remembered because of the philosophic and religious implications of his idea, not the scientific applications.

Natural selection has been shown to change organisms but always within the boundaries of the created kinds. This type of change is often termed “microevolution,” and the hypothetical type of change that turns fish into philosophers is known as “macroevolution.” The large-scale changes through time are simply dramatic extrapolations of the observed phenomenon of natural selection. This degree of extrapolation has no basis in operational science. There are limits to the amount and type of genetic change that can occur—no matter what amount of time is allowed. As an illustration: if you can pedal a bicycle at 10 mph, how long would it take to reach the moon? Bicycles have limits that would make this goal impossible regardless of the time you have to accomplish it.

Why does people have such a weak stomach or deep sense of morality when it comes to torturing but when we're in a war now where innocent civilians are dying because of the actions the U.S. take, the public doesn't bat an eye?
The common objection to torture is how do you decide who and not to torture. I agree there are no easy answers to this question and it's very possible innocent people will be tortured. However, by going to war, we know that innocent people will be killed so if we reasonably believe that torturing a suspected terrorist will lead to saving an innocent persons life, then it's well reasoned to take that risk/opportunity. Especially since that person will still be alive while as if you don't take that risk and that information would lead to the saving of potential bomb going off under a bus will lead to certain death

The brutality that goes on with war is unspeakable. Yet talk of torture makes someone seem evil and unjust. Completely backwards. My point is it's the moral high ground to torture than to not even if only saves one real life. Is it humane to spare the lives of all the people in the school bus that are going to get blown to pieces because of information a terrorist has? As I said earlier, you accept collateral damage you accept accidental tortures.

A Pennsylvania school board had no problem electing a new member even after it was disclosed that she boasted on Facebook that she is “officially against Muslims,” and accused gays of turning children into “zombie fairies.”

According to the Sun Gazette, the Montoursville Area School Board voted to appoint Karen Dincher Wright to fill a spot on the board despite protests over her hateful postings on Facebook.

The Gazette points out that each member of the board was given a file containing 15 racist, anti-Muslim and homophobic posts that Wright had written over the previous year.

Despite the files containing screenshots of Wright stating, “I am officially against Muslims. We need to take a stand as Christians and Jews,” she was approved by a 5-3 vote.

In one particularly wide-ranging and noxious rant, Wright laid out her world view for all to see on Facebook.

“I am fed up with the rainbows and and flags and ‘I’m offended crap,'” she wrote. ” Suck it up, buttercup. This is still America. We will tolerate you, for now.”

“You want to marry the same sex? Fine, marry a goat. I really don’t care,” she continued. “But when you start demanding we like what you do and have to cater to you, we are done with you.”

She concluded, “This is still America. We will tolerate your beliefs, but we will not become overcome with them. If you don’t like it we can arrange passage to another country. And when you start dividing us and turning our children into zombie fairies, then we will not tolerate you anymore. We will fight you.”

According to Wright, public discussion of her Facebook rants were taken out of context and that she felt she was treated unfairly.

“I did not deserve that … I am not the person they made me out to be,” she said. “I have no hidden agendas, I have nothing to hide. Here I stand … All I want to do is make a difference in the school. I feel I can make a difference.”

Screenshots of some of Wright’s Facebook posts — which are now hidden — below:

ESPN fired one of their baseball analysts Wednesday, a day after he was criticized for an anti-transgender post on Facebook..

Curt Schilling, who had worked for the network since 2010, was dismissed after sharing a Facebook post about the recently passed North Carolina anti-transgender law.

The post showed a man wearing a wig and women’s clothing with parts of the T-shirt cut out to expose his breasts.

It read: “LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die.”

The former player added: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”

In a statement ESPN said, “Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.”

A resolution in the Alabama House of Representatives to recognize May 5 as the National Day of Prayer provides an apocalyptic view of the current world.

The symbolic legislation, introduced Wednesday by Republican state Rep. Mack Butler, starts off with the typical Day of Prayer language, but quickly descends into gloom and doom.

The resolution warns that America has “turned from her values” and no longer protects the “unborn.” It claims the United States is sitting by idly while the world falls into chaos and Christians face genocide overseas. The resolution alleges that Americans now mock God and that “traditional values” have been abandoned.

The resolution concludes that the people of Alabama must “turn from their wicked ways” to prevent God’s wrath.

Congress established the National Day of Prayer in 1952 and the yearly celebration occurs on the first Thursday of May.

This morning, Butler wrote on Facebook: “We are being told that all kinds of perversion for our children is perfectly fine and at the same time we are being told that if you believe in wholesome family Christian values you are evil. We must take back America! Living life upside down.”

“Looking forward to the next civil war,” one of his constituents commented.

The full text of the resolution, HJR 316, is below:

WHEREAS, God has blessed America, where freedom exists for all, regardless of belief or creed; and
WHEREAS, America’s heritage is a beacon to the world, a shining city on a hill; and
WHEREAS, America’s exceptionalism was not only on a thoroughfare for freedom beat, but a leader and protector of values and safety around the world; and
WHEREAS, though American’s sovereignty did not and would not rule the world, rather than a colonial power, she shared her bounty; and
WHEREAS, America has turned from her values, she is engaged in practices antithetical to her heritage by not protecting the poor, defenseless, and unborn, and has permitted the law to discriminate pitting one’s rights against the rights of others; and
WHEREAS, America now sits in her sanctuary while the rest of the world is falling into turmoil with genocide against Christians and radical Islamic terrorists wreaking havoc; and
WHEREAS, America’s Judeo-Christian tradition recognized a freedom of religion, the first freedom, that let all religions coexist; and
WHEREAS, traditional values have been removed from the public square where all values were once spoken; and
WHEREAS, religious freedom is threatened and God is mocked; and
WHEREAS, just as Jesus observed when he drew close to Jerusalem before His crucifixion and wept over the city that thought it knew of the things made for peace, it was now hidden from their eyes and just as high government officials often invoke the name of God, yet they tempt God by abandoning His truths; and
WHEREAS, America must reaffirm her freedom and her faith; and
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA, BOTH HOUSES THEREOF CONCURRING, That we urge America to reaffirm and protect its freedoms.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the fifth day of May 24 2016 be set aside as a day of reflection by the citizens of the State of Alabama who will humble themselves and pray and seek God’s face and turn from their wicked ways so that God will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.

[About Donald Trump's wife and the Cruz campaign slut shaming her.]

I would have been horrified if my future wife had posed like that and would have broken our engagement. If she had been my adult daughter I would have broken fellowship with her although still loving her. A husband is responsible for his wife and daughters’ actions. Are you ready for this? They are accountable to him and once a daughter is married the accountability transfers to her husband!

Since I am in deep, deep water I might as well go deeper. I have been to Rome and Greece many times and have seen their famous paintings and sculptures and I think many of them are scandalous, salacious, and even slutty. I’m aware that it is supposed to make a difference because it is “great” art, even religious art but that is a silly, shallow, and shameful defense.

Here’s the bottom line: it is wrong to display one’s body to satisfy anyone–except a spouse. Often it is done by teens to get attention and that often comes back to bite them in their derrière a few years later. Then, they usually complain about an invasion of privacy! Simple answer to that: keep your private parts private except for your spouse.

Celebrities who whine about leaked nude photos are hypocrites as well as sluts. They never should have posed nude for the camera.

At a gallery of nude photos and sculptures all the spectators must be fully clothed as they look at totally naked bodies! Would it be acceptable if all the spectators were nude like the art? Why not?

When the LGBT and those who support the gay agenda celebrate 'free love' and 'love wins,' THIS is what you are really supporting. This is what homosexuality REALLY looks like.

Because when you engage in, practice or support any element of the LGBT lifestyle, you're really supporting Baphomet

Baphomet is simply another term or name for Lucifer... better known as the Serpent, Satan and the Devil.

Below is a description of Baphomet. You'll notice that he has female breasts.

This is because from ancient times until the present, Satan has always been depicted as being both male AND female, with BOTH genitalia (female breasts and a male penis).

While going through different images for the new book, it suddenly dawned on me: THIS is why there is such an interest in transsexuals, lesbians and bisexuals in our society today.

Notice how Baphomet, aka Satan, appears to be BOTH genders: as evidenced by the female breasts?

Satan is depicted as bi-gender in 99% of the images you'll run across. Which officially makes the devil the very first transsexual in history!

Now you see why the Bruce Jenner transformation was such a huge story. This world is run and literally controlled by devil worshipers. They control 90% of the media, music, movies, tv, news outlets and even some social media outlets.

The only agenda these flunkies of Satan promote is their own: which is really Satan's agenda. Hence why television seems so slanted when you watch it, and obviously programming a pro-gay anti-God agenda.

And when you see LGBT being promoted and supported on a wide scale, these are followers of Satan bringing their god out of hiding and into the light. Coming out of the closet was never meant for homosexuals: it was actually meant for Satan!

The Bible even seems to hint that the Anti-Christ will be of a homosexual nature when he arrives on the scene.

"Neither shall he (the antichrist) regard the God of his fathers, NOR THE DESIRE OF WOMEN, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all." *Daniel 11:37

As we get closer to the closing of this age before Jesus Christ returns to take over the world, expect to see more of Satan and his antics on open display like never before. Like the unveiling of Satanic statues in places like Detroit or Oklahoma City.

The designer of those statues very cleverly hid the female breast part of the statues, so it wouldn't be too obvious or offensive to the unsuspecting public. As if a big statue of Satan wasn't already offensive enough...

The Bible says that Satan knows his time is short.

"Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!" *Rev 12:12

Meaning that any chance he has to delay or prevent the return of Christ, he has to take it now. (He knows he cannot stop it: but his hope is in delaying Jesus' return for as long as possible: thus extending his inevitable torment and punishment).

Transexualism and bisexuality is promoted as openly as it is today because these are characteristics and trademarks of the Devil's very own nature.

His nature is bisexuality, homosexuality and confusing the different genders, and mixing the holy with the profane. It's how he defiles people and keeps them from ever being able to connect with God and live a life of sexual cleanliness and holiness.

Just be aware that his tremendous push to normalize homosexual/bisexual and transsexual behavior is more evidence that the appearance of the anti-Christ is near. It's evidence of an old ancient devil-worshiping religion making a comeback in so-called "Christian" America.

I've been telling people for some time now that America's real religion is Individualism: the religion of self-interest above everything and everyone else.

And the religion of Individualism is driving American consumerism and the US economy today. This is what Satanism is at its core.

Self-interest is what led the founding fathers of America to violate every Christian principle in the book.

•by enslaving black people,
•raping black women;
•raping and murdering Native women and their children,
•enslaving Irish immigrants;
•and later by installing Jim Crow, then modifying Jim Crow today through crafty laws and cunning legislation that still deprives a huge segment of the population of its God-granted rights.

Sidenote: Have you ever noticed that whenever you see old lynching photos of a Black Man his pants have been 'pulled down?' How'd they get that way? And what was the fascination the lynchers had with pulling down another man's pants? I'm not trying to suggest anything, or maybe I am... but that's another article for another day.

Even the layout for Washington D.C. was designed off of occult symbolism as seen below. Not the Baphomet Star, the Masonic compass, and the so-called 'Star of David': which is NOT a godly symbol at all, but was really an occult symbol used by King Solomon to conjure demons with.

Anton Levay, the founder of the Church of Satan, said in so many words that most Americans were really Satanists too: they just hadn't realized it yet.

This is because Satanism is basically a religion of self-pleasure, self-fulfillment and self-indulgence.

It's the forbidden fruit Satan used to trick Eve and Adam to indulge in. And it's the doorway that led us to this very point in America today, where a man is confused about his own gender and role, and so are many women.

Sadly, too many churches have become Satanist in doctrine and creed. Why else would flaming homosexual men and women feel comfortable sitting in church without changing?

"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error." Romans 1:24-27

It's time for Christians to stand up for Jesus Christ like never before.

The strong delusion has already been released. And if you're not careful, you'll get sucked right into the vortex.

Christians say they would never bow the knee to Satan. But the truth is: if you're all about self-love and self-pleasure anyway, you're already following his belief system.

[...]

If you're someone who is struggling with homosexuality, there is powerful deliverance in store for you. Jesus Christ is a MIGHTY deliverer.

There is no sin so powerful or dirty that His blood cannot overpower and cleanse it completely.

"Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool." Isa 1:18

"I, even I am, he who blots out your trangressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more." Isa 43:25

Jesus will give you a brand new life, a new heart and help you to develop a new mindset. You can literally become a NEW person through Jesus Christ! All you have to do is sincerely want it, and be willing to leave your former LGBT lifestyle (or whatever sinful lifestyle) behind, in favor of the brand new life that Jesus has in store for you.

THREE EXAMPLES OF CATASTROPHIC, VERY RAPID BURIAL OF ICHTHYOSAUR "MOMMIES" CAUGHT IN THE PROCESS OF GIVING BIRTH!

THESE ICHTHYOSAURS ARE JUST 3 OF 8 PUBLISHED FOSSILS, THAT I HAVE DOCUMENTED TO DATE. THEY ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL GLOBAL LOCATIONS. SINCE THERE IS NO OBSERVED LOCALIZED COASTAL BURIALS OF SEA CREATURES AS LARGE AS THESE TODAY, THE BEST EXPLANATION, FROM THE CREATION PERSPECTIVE, IS A GLOBAL CATASTROPHIC FLOOD. THE FACT THAT SO MANY FEMALE ICHTHYOSAURS WERE BURIED DURING THEIR SPECIES GESTATION PERIOD ALSO ARGUES IN FAVOR OF A VERY RAPID GLOBAL EVENT.
NOTE: MANY ANIMALS, INCLUDING MAN, HAVE BEEN OBSERVED RAPIDLY ABORTING THEIR YOUNG, NO MATTER WHAT STAGE OF GESTATION, WHEN EXPERIENCING IMMINENT, PHYSICAL DEATH. IT IS BELIEVED BY MANY THAT THIS IS AN INSTINCTIVE, INVOLUNTARY ATTEMPT TO GIVE THEIR YOUNG A CHANCE AT SURVIVAL.

COULD METAMORPHOSIS BE MISTAKEN AS MACRO-EVOLUTION?

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF A COMMON FROG IS EVOLUTION, MICRO-EVOLUTION THAT IS. THIS TRANSFORMATION IS PREPROGRAMMED, BY A PROGRAMER, INTO THEIR GENETIC CODE. CREATIONISTS AND EVOLUTIONISTS BOTH ACCEPT THIS FACT. WHERE THEY DIFFER IS WHO OR WHAT THE PROGRAMMER WAS.

NOW LETS DO A LITTLE METAPHYSISIZIN' HERE FOR A MINUTE.

PICTURE THIS COMMON FROG AS BEING AN EXTINCT UNKNOWN SPECIES. NOW PICTURE ALL THESE FORMS BEING FOUND, IN SEQUENCE OF LOWER LEFT FIRST TO LOWER RIGHT LAST, OVER AN "UNKNOWN" PERIOD OF TIME IN THE GREEN RIVER FORMATION OF WYOMING. KEEP IN MIND, WE HAVE NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THESE CREATURES.

HOW WOULD THESE FOSSILS BE INTERPRETED BY CREATIONISTS AND EVOLUTIONISTS?

FIRST, EVOLUTIONISTS WOULD LABEL EACH FOSSIL AS A DISTINCTLY SEPARATE SPECIES. THEN THEY WOULD PROCLAIM THESE FOSSILS WERE BURIED OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND ARE "PROOF" THAT THEIR MACRO-EVOLUTIONARY THEORY IS TRUE!

CREATIONISTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, WOULD PROCLAIM THESE FOSSILS AS "PROOF" OF CATASTROPHIC, RAPID BURIAL OF A RELATED SPECIES. THE SMALLER, LESS MOBILE CREATURE BEING BURIED FIRST WHILE THE LARGER, MORE MOBILE BEING ABLE TO SURVIVE LONGER BEFORE FINALLY BEING BURIED.

BOTH OF THESE "METAPHYSICAL" VIEWS ARE EQUALLY "SCIENTIFIC" AND PLAUSIBLE IN THIS ANALOGY BUT NEITHER GROUP COULD EMPIRICALLY "PROVE" THEIR VIEWS WITHOUT OBSERVING THESE CREATURES IN LIFE.

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE COMMON FROG IS THE VISUAL "POSTER CHILD" OF THE METAPHYSICAL, MACRO-EVOLUTIONARY PARADIGM. THE FACT IS, THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE COMMON FROG IS THE EMPIRICAL "POSTER CHILD" OF THE MICRO-EVOLUTIONARY REALITY THAT TREMENDOUS CHANGE CAN AND DOES OCCUR WITHIN GENETIC BOUNDARIES OF A SINGULAR SPECIES. MACRO-EVOLUTION HAS NEVER BEEN OBSERVED BECAUSE OF THIS EMPIRICAL FACT.

MACRO-EVOLUTION IS METAPHYSICAL IMAGINATION PURE AND SIMPLE!

THE ONLY WAY A SPECIES GENETIC BOUNDARY CAN BE BREACHED, OR EVEN SET, AND THEN SUCCESSFULLY MIXED WITH ANOTHER IS BY "INTELLIGENT INTERVENTION." APPART FROM REASON AND LOGIC, TO ACCEPT ANYTHING ELSE IS A "LEAP OF FAITH" THAT AS SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL HUMAN BEINGS WE ARE FREE TO DO, BUT THE FACT REMAINS, MACRO-EVOLUTION IS NOT FOUNDED IN, OR SUPPORTED BY, EMPIRICAL SCIENCE.

Quote# 118435

Imagine, for the moment, that tomorrow morning you - a man - woke up to find that some unholy menstrual gas had escaped into the ether, and that, henceforth, most women only fancied lesbians. All of a sudden, your hopes and dreams of getting it together with a decent woman would be completely thwarted.

And if no woman thereafter ever even considered you to be a welcome intimate prospect, it would drive you insane!

And you would also be furious at those lesbian women who were getting their greedy hands on all the goodies.

Your goodies.

Up and down the street they would parade themselves with their girlfriends and their womenfolk hanging on to their arms - but you have no chance at all.

You would envy those lesbian women, and you would hate them for persistently luring away from you all those lovely women whom you desire so strongly - and so often!

And so you would do your best to undermine the standing of those lesbian women, and you would try to demonise them as best as you could, in the hope that women might be turned away from them, and instead start being attracted to you.

And I also imagine that this would be especially true on days like Valentine's Day, when no romantic card popped through your front door, and you felt particularly lonely and unwanted.

Well, this is the situation in which many lesbians do, in fact, find themselves.

There are all these gorgeous heterosexual women around the place, but they have no interest in them.

Nope. They are just not interested.

"We want a penis," they will say. "Vaginas just will not do."

They are jealous. They are envious. They are sexually frustrated.

And, in my view, this is why so much of the hatred towards men is fuelled by lesbian woman. They are jealous. They are envious. They are sexually frustrated. And they are angry; because men get a zillion times more access to those gorgeous heterosexual women whom they so desperately want for themselves.

And it is precisely because there are not enough women who are lesbian for them that these particular lesbians also sneak their way into places like domestic violence shelters which are packed full of women who are currently alleging abuse. They are always trying to wheedle their way closer to those women who might seem as if they could be particularly easy to 'turn'.

"That was an awful experience. Men are terrible. Here, hold my hand," they will tell them.

"Men are abusive and disgusting. Here, let me put my hand upon your knee."

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. So, show me your sweet little triangle and I'll show you mine."

Yep: This is what is going on out there.

Oh Angry Harry. You are such a fool. You don't really believe that many lesbians hate men and so try to drive a wedge between men and women simply because they are jealous, envious and sexually frustrated, do you?

Yes.

I do.

Just imagine what it would be like for heterosexual men if just about every woman whom they ever wanted to be with had absolutely no interest in them because they were attracted only to lesbians. Many men would probably do exactly what many of these particularly hateful lesbian 'feminists' are, in fact, doing. They would do their best to turn women against lesbians, and they would also hate lesbians.

Well, isn't this the very sort of thing that seems to be going on?

And did we not see a similar thing happening when blacks and whites first started intermingling their private parts

And did we not see a similar thing happening when blacks and whites first started intermingling their private parts in significant numbers some years ago? There was some resentment on both sides of the fence.

And how else would you account for the fact that a very high relative percentage of the 'feminists' who blatantly stir up hatred towards men are, indeed, lesbians?

Why is it that those who know the least about men are so hateful towards them?

Why is it that those who can most happily avoid all intimate relationships with men feel so impelled to damn them?

How is it that those people who know the least about men seem to attack them the most?

There is only one answer, in my view, that fits the evidence.

they hate men for attracting away from their clutches the very women whom they, themselves, desire.

And this is that these particular lesbian women are jealous, envious and sexually frustrated, and they hate men for attracting away from their clutches the very women whom they, themselves, desire. And they also attempt to gain access to more women both by seeking out those who are currently angry with men and, hence, who will likely more easily be seduced by them, and by trying to demonise men in the eyes of all heterosexual women in order to encourage more of them to give up on men.

Well, that's my opinion!

(in response to an article on environmentalists having an anti-Exxon meeting due to its contribution to climate change)

crazylove35:
Thanks for the link. Very interesting data. It's totally like the medieval church where you had inquisitions, heresy laws, fines and punishments. Only now, climate change is the church. Should we expect to see people losing their jobs over this? Two my friends lost ther jobs already. But they are willing to engage in eco-friendly farming, but what will do everyone?

Tall Timbers:
With regards to job losses, take a look at the coal industry. We're in the middle of significant job losses already due to the man-made global climate change lie. I don't think I'm a criminal for that prior sentence just yet, but there are those who would make criminals out of anyone who doesn't at least pretend to buy in to the hoax...

Here is made up stuff. All you have to do is proof that the second Adam's blood didn't drip on the Ark Moses had built.

Matt. 27:51, the earthquake that fractured the rock opened a fissure that ran down through 20 foot of solid rock into a cave and cracked the stone lid on top of a black stone volt where the Ark of the Covenant lie hidden inside, pushing the lid aside. John 19:34, the blood that poured from the side of Jesus, ran down through that crevice and dripped onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant that was hidden by God and the prophet Jeremiah, right under where they crucified Jesus, 620 years earlier when the Babylonians destroyed Salomon’s temple. ?

The Greek word used for “the cross” on which Jesus was put to death is “stauros,” which denotes an upright pale or stake. It never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, but always of one piece alone. There is nothing in the Greek of the New Testament even to imply two pieces of timber. The blood of Jesus would do no good for the Israelites dripping on “stauros,” because the second Adam’s blood was the basis by which Yahweh would now have just cause to remit or to clear the accounts of those with faith in time past, those who had trusted Yahweh’s word to them and who obeyed what Yahweh told them to do. ?

According to Israel’s New Covenant, when would Yahweh finish what forgiveness alone would not accomplish where Israel’s sins were concerned? When would the forgiveness come? At what time would Yahweh completely clear the slate for Israel nationally-those believers who had been baptized according to John the Baptizer’s program? The blood of the second Adam would make it possible,

But just think about this. Who are these dudes and creatures? Crazy! This is more crazy, Jesus has the same kind of life and same kind of flesh and bone body these 24 Elders have. Interesting, this empty place they are in before God created that structure separating them from that empty place. It is the north side of that structure that God stretch out over the empty place. Job 26:7 - In order to stretch out the north over the empty place, there has to be a structure in place separating whatever is inside it from the empty place outside of it.

These 4 magnificent creatures have the same kind of eternal life that God has within himself, but what these magnificent creatures bodies are made of, is unclear. Not only were these 4 magnificent creatures with God, but there were 24 other individuals with God. These 24 individuals are named Elders and they also have the same kind of eternal life that God has within himself, but these Elders have that eternal life in some kind of flesh and bone body. Now God’s body is different then these 24 Elders and these 4 magnificent creatures.
