Genesis 1:26,27, Deuteronomy 10:17, Acts 10:34, Romans 2:11, Galatians
3:28

What does God say about racism? Like in all matters of life, when we need
the Truth, the real answers, we have to go to our final authority in all
matters, the Bible. One of the greatest weapons of satan is division. The
enemy has figured out every way imaginable to divide men. Since virtually
the beginning of the human experience, man has fallen into satan’s trap of
division based on the color of a person’s skin or their ethnic origin.
While racism has always been an issue in this country, the fact is it is an
issue in every country. This divisive mindset is not unique to the United
States. Sadly, in some form it is practiced everywhere on the planet.

Since the racially incendiary remarks by B. Hussein Obama’s pastor of 20
years, Dr. Jeremiah Wright, became such a big part of the Presidential
campaign a few weeks ago, it has sparked a national dialogue on race. A few
weeks ago Senator Obama gave a speech on race that was lauded by many.
Those who made such a big deal over his speech were most likely swayed by
the fact he was dealing so openly with a taboo subject few will talk about.
However, his speech was hollow, self serving, and nothing more than a
political move to do damage control because of his close association with
Dr. Wright.

B. Hussein Obama’s race speech did NOTHING to help people or this nation
deal with this scourge, since the victory over racism isn’t going to come
from the flowery words of a politician whose only motive and goal is to get
elected President. No my friend, if people and this nation are going to
truly get victory over racism, it has got to come from an understanding of
what God says about this issue and by people who are willing to follow what
God says in the Bible.

If Senator Obama had intended to really take a leadership role on the race
issue, educate the nation and provide real answers for how to get victory
over this inhumane way people treat others who are different than they are,
then he would have told people what God says about racism. God says MUCH
about this issue, but Senator Obama didn’t find it worth including even one
verse of Scripture.

*THIS IS WHY I TELL YOU SO OFTEN THAT IT WILL NOT BE A POLITICIAN, BUT A MAN GOD HAS CALLED TO LEAD PEOPLE IN THE WAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!

The fact is, there is only one race, the human race! People may have white
skin, black skin, brown skin, yellow skin, red skin, or any other color
skin, they may have different ethnic backgrounds, but they are all part of
the same race, the human race! The Bible says that ALL MEN are created in
the image of God. God created all men equal. I tell you frequently that
satan is the great perverter. It is satan, not God, who seeks to divide men
by their skin color, ethnicity, financial means, and any other way you can
dream up to divide people. God created men equal to live in harmony with
one another. It is satan who introduced division into the human experience.

In God’s plan of redemption, there is no division. John 3:16 says that God
so loved the world, ALL men. It says that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES. That is a
universal call to ALL MEN regardless the color of their skin or where they
live. In 1 John 2:2, it talks about how Jesus laid down his life for
EVERYONE. Everyone means ALL MEN, the entire human race. This satanically
inspired way we have of dividing ourselves through racism, prejudice, and
discrimination all make a mockery of what Christ did on the cross. He
faithfully and obediently went to that cross to die for the sins of ALL
MANKIND.

That is why all of the black pastors I know repudiate the false black
liberation theology Dr. Jeremiah Wright has been teaching for over 3
decades. Wright is actually a student of James Cone who made this perverse
theology popular in the 60s that teaches the Bible is the basis for blacks
to be liberated from social, political, economic, and religious bondage. B.
Hussein Obama is a liar when he states he never heard the types of comments
made by Dr. Wright the media has been playing, since that is the
foundational teaching of the black liberation theology Wright has been
preaching in Chicago for over 30 years.

The fact is the Bible DOES teach liberation theology, LIBERATION FROM SIN!!!
It was not written to people with dark skin, but to all people regardless of
their skin color. We are all part of the human race, which means we are all
born with the sin of Adam, we all sin during our life, and that is why Jesus
went to the cross. He gave His very life on that cross as the payment for
the sins of all mankind, that through faith in Him men might be find freedom
from their sins. There is nothing in the Bible to support this false black
liberation theology Dr. Wright preaches, since the liberation theology of
the Bible is about the freedom from sin for ALL MEN!

You also have the Biblical example of Jesus during His earthly ministry.
Again, racism is not a new phenomena to the United States in our brief 232
year history. Forms of racism have been part of the human expedience since
the very beginning. Jesus commanded us in John 13:34 to love each other as
He loves us. He used people of other ethnic backgrounds often in His
parables. One of the most powerful is the story of the Good Samaritan. If
you remember, the Jewish religious leaders passed by the man who had been
robbed and beaten and laying on the side of the road, leaving him to die.
It was the Samaritan, the non-Jew, who honored God by stopping and
ministering to the needs of the injured man. Don’t forget, it was Jesus who
told his followers to make disciples of EVERY NATION, reaffirming the value
of all men.

I love you and care about you so much. If B. Hussein Obama had wanted to
give a real speech on racism to move hearts and lead people in this issue,
THIS is the message he should have delivered. It would have been a message
from God’s Word that laid the Biblical foundation all men are created equal
and those who seek to divide men by the color of their skin are not of God,
but of satan! It would not have been the self serving, politically crafted
words to try and help him weasel out of his 20 year association with a
pastor and church that preaches and teaches division based on the color of a
person’s skin. Dividing men by skin color, ethnicity, are the works of the
devil.

Those who truly seek to serve and follow the Lord are not looking to divide
men but unite them. A true follower of Christ understands that God created
all men equal, that we are all part of the human race. Racism, prejudice,
and discrimination are NOT of God, since we are hurting someone God created
and loves and Jesus died for! Sadly, 11 am on Sunday morning is the most
segregated hour of the week in this nation. That is truly a shame since the
one sanctuary from racism should be the church. Yet sadly, most churches
don’t lead the culture, they allow the culture to lead them. So rather than
modeling what God says about this issue, in far too many churches, they
perpetuate this ungodly attitude men have for other men who look different
than them.

They better wake up since when we die, and stand at the gates of Heaven,
there won’t be a line for whites, or a line for blacks, or a line for
Asians, or a line for Hispanics, or a line for those from the Middle East,
just like there won’t be a line for Catholics, or Baptists, or Methodists,
or Pentecostals. No my friend, when you take your last breath there will
only be two lines. One for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ
and one for those who have rejected Christ. The Bible proclaims those who
reject Christ will be cast into the flames of hell for all eternity, and
those who know Jesus will be welcomed into their eternal home with God their
Creator in Heaven. At that moment, Galatians 3:38 will be realized, “There
is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all
one in Christ Jesus!”

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,

Your Public Library May Be A Sanctuary City For Child Pornography Consumers!

Original World Net Daily article link here. This article shows the depths of the Marxist radicalism controlling so many of our educational organizations and institutions, in this case the American Library Association.

A bizarre battle has erupted over the arrest on child pornography charges of a man at a California public library, with library and county officials siding against the staffer who called police to arrest the alleged criminal.

Librarian Brenda Biesterfeld was fired from her job after disregarding her supervisor’s orders not to call police.

Now a pro-family organization and a law firm are rallying support for her.

“We’ve come alongside her, providing media training and legal representation,” said Randy Thomasson, chief of the Campaign for Children and Families, a prominent pro-family leadership group. “Our goal is to get Brenda’s job back, to institute a new library policy that has no tolerance for obscenity and child pornography, and to send a nationwide message that child predators will not be allowed to ‘do their thing’ in libraries.”

Mathew Staver, head of Liberty Counsel, said his organization has sent a demand letter to the Tulare County Board of Supervisors challenging the librarian’s dismissal.

The incident developed on Feb. 28 when Beisterfeld, a single mother, was working in the Lindsay Branch library, and she noticed Donny Lynn Chrisler, 39, viewing child porn on one of the public-use computers.

“She immediately went to her supervisor, Judi Hill, who instructed her to give him a warning and explain that on his second warning he would be banned from the library,” Liberty Counsel said. “When Biesterfeld asked if she should call the police, Hill told her not to and that the library would handle it internally.”

She also was told that “this happens more often than she would think.” (My note: OF COURSE IT DOES. DON’T YOU THINK THAT WORD HAS GOTTEN OUT AMONG THE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY COMMUNITY, WHICH NETWORKS EXTENSIVELY, THAT LIBRARIES WILL NOT REPORT THEM???)

Biesterfeld was so unnerved by the situation, she talked with police the next day. Then on March 4, when Chrisler returned, Biesterfeld saw him viewing more child porn and called police.

“When police officers arrived they caught Chrisler viewing the child pornography, arrested him, and placed him in the Tulare County Jail, where he remains on $10,000 bail,” Liberty Counsel said. “Further investigation uncovered more child pornography in Chrisler’s home.”

But when police confiscated the computer from the library, Hill confronted them and said they had no business enforcing the child pornography law within the library.

“Even after the police captain explained that a federal law had been violated, making it a legal matter to be handled by police, Hill never offered to help,” Liberty Counsel said. “Instead, she demanded to know who made the report.”

Even though police investigators concealed Biesterfeld’s name, Hill claimed she knew who it was, and within 20 minutes the captain got a call from Biesterfeld saying Hill had called her and rebuked her. Two days later and without explanation Biesterfeld was fired.

The law firm’s letter demands Biesterfeld’s reinstatement and that the library change its policy to prevent the use of library property for illegal behavior and to establish a prompt reporting system. Mayor Ed Murray submitted a similar request to the county, officials said.

“Brenda Biesterfeld had a moral and a legal responsibility to report to police a library patron whom she observed viewing child pornography,” said Staver. “It is outrageous that the Lindsay Branch library fired Ms. Biesterfeld for reporting child pornography. Child Pornography is a despicable crime against children.”

Thomasson said the local battle, however, has national implications.

“We’re also defending children nationwide,” he said. “You see, the American Library Association, which is the controlling influence over libraries nationwide, views pornography and obscenity as ‘intellectual freedom.’ Because of this, many libraries in the U.S. allow child pornographers to use their Internet system undetected and unreported. Is it any wonder why child molestation has become so common?”

According to the association’s own web page regarding intellectual freedom and censorship, it is not the work of a library to protect children from material that is “legally obscene.” “Governmental institutions cannot be expected to usurp or interfere with parental obligations and responsibilities when it comes to deciding what a child may read or view,” the ALA says. It also defines “intellectual freedom” as the right to see material “without restriction.” Those who object to obscenity and its availability are “censors,” who “try to use the power of the state to impose their view of what is truthful and appropriate.” “Each of us has the right to read, view, listen to, and disseminate constitutionally protected ideas, even if a censor finds those ideas offensive,” the ALA states. (My note: as a libertarian Christian, I have some sympathies for this view, particularly because of my belief that one day the government will start hauling of Christians for possessing Bibles. But in this present time with its current policy, by preventing its employees from enforcing local, state, and federal laws, the American Library Association is contributing to precisely the sort of lawlessness and moral degradation in this society that will allow that awful time to take place.)

“Censors might sincerely believe that certain materials are so offensive, or present ideas that are so hateful and destructive to society, that they simply must not see the light of day. Others are worried that younger or weaker people will be badly influenced by bad ideas, and will do bad things as a result,” the ALA said.

That was the point Steve Baldwin, a former California lawmaker, was making when he previously penned a column citing a report from the Family Research Council.

“A 2000 report by the Family Research Council details how its researchers sent out surveys to every librarian in America asking questions about access to pornography. Despite efforts by the ALA to stop its members from responding, 462 librarians did respond. Their replies revealed 472 instances of children assessing pornography, 962 instances of adults accessing pornography, 106 instances of adults exposing children to pornography, five attempted child molestations, 144 instances of child porn being accessed and 25 instances of library staff being harassed by those viewing pornography. Over 2,062 total porn-related incidents were reported by a mere 4.6 percent of our nation’s librarians so one can assume the number of incidents is probably twenty times higher,” he reported.

He wrote that the “bias” of the ALA is obvious.

“When parent groups have offered to place books in libraries with conservative themes or are critical of the left, the ALA’s claims of being First Amendment guardians suddenly look fraudulent. When one parent tried to donate George Grant’s book, ‘Killer Angel,’ a critical biography of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, the library sent a letter stating that ‘the author’s political and social agenda…is not appropriate.’ Huh? A biographical book with zero profanity is banned but books that feature the ‘F’ word a hundred times are sought after with zeal. Go figure,” Baldwin wrote. (My note: so censorship is evil and must be prevented at all costs … unless we are doing it.)

Thomasson called on librarians across the country to report child pornography to law enforcement whenever it happens.

“The liberals who run the library system in America must stop violating the federal law because they regard child pornography as ‘free speech,’” he said. “All pornography is immoral, but possession of child pornography is a federal crime. No librarian should fear reporting child pornography to the police, but libraries that fail to report these crimes should be very afraid. Brenda Biesterfeld will get her job back, and more.”

Biesterfeld said she felt intimidated by Hill after the police investigation was launched. “She kind of threatened me,” Biesterfeld said. “She said I worked for the county, and when the county tells you to do something, you do what the county tells you. She said I had no loyalty to the county. (My note: Anyone remember 1984, people accused of being being “disloyal to the party?” Wait … this aside would be more suited for a post on the Republican or Democratic parties.) I told her I was a mother and a citizen also, and not just a county employee.”

The dismissal letter from Tulare County Librarian Brian Lewis said probationary employees can be fired if they don’t perform at a level “necessary for fully satisfactory performance.” But Thomasson reported a Lindsay city councilwoman said she’d been told just a few weeks earlier Biesterfeld was doing a great job. The city of Lindsay also has complained to the county about Hill’s “abrupt, demanding and demeaning” telephone call to police telling them to halt their pornography investigation.

Will Islam be the United States Babylon?

My note: personally I am not along the Islam alarmists, viewing false Christianity to be a bigger threat to this country and to the world. George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson, Franklin Roosevelt, the ACLU, etc. weren’t Muslims OK? And in how many Muslim nations is abortion legal? Still, the notion that God might use Islam to punish America for its sins is a common view going around, and the brother SoldierServant makes that point often. Now I question the Old Testament “judgment theology” that usually only applied to Israel (and is often abused by such snakes as Pat Robertson and John Hagee in order to raise money and gain supporters), but since it is a subject of speculation by a lot of sincere Christians (even if it does also reflect a sort of conservative cultural – political Christianity viewpoint that I now hate Revelation 2 – 3 style), I am posting this devotional by Pastor Bill Keller to give it the airing that it deserves.

(2 Kings 24:20, 25:11; Jeremiah 52:28-30)

Will Islam be the United States Babylon? All throughout the Bible and human
history, God has used human instruments to do His work and fulfill His plan
and purpose. We read all throughout the Old Testament how the children of
Israel would turn away from God, follow the false gods and idols of the
world, live in open rebellion to God’s commandments, and eventually He would
have enough and pour out His wrath upon them. This was usually done in the
form of allowing the enemies of Israel to take them captive and enslave
them. As you can imagine, that got their attention real quick.

Eventually, after a period of time and due to His never ending love, grace,
and mercy, God would free the children of Israel, give them their land back,
and begin blessing them again. Of course it was in this time of captivity
that the children of Israel would repent and ask God to forgive them. They
would be in a place where God was their only source of hope and strength.
They began to worship Him again, trust Him again, obey Him again. The
amazing thing is once He set them free, it was like they got amnesia. Almost
immediately they would be back worshipping the false gods and idols of the
world. They would be getting involved in every kind of sin you could name.
Worshiping God, trusting Him, living in obedience to His commandments were
all forgotten.

It was like when you were a child and you disobeyed your mother. She would
make you go stand in the corner for a period of time. After the time was up,
you were allowed to go back to playing and doing what you wanted. During the
time you were standing in the corner, you were sorry for what you did. You
promised your mother that you would obey her from now on. As you stood in
that corner you appreciated the freedom you had to play and do what you
wanted. But what happened when the punishment was over? It wasn’t long
before you were not listening to your mother any more. You began to do
things you knew you weren’t supposed to. What your mom had to say and her
rules didn’t matter any more.

Like I tell you often, man has never really changed since the Garden of
Eden! Go read the Book of Judges. What a classic illustration of this cycle
of sin-> punishment-> repentance-> restoration-> and sin again, you will
ever find. You read the Book of Judges and you start screaming at your Bible
every time God frees them from their enemies and they immediately fall right
back into the same pattern of sin that forced God to punish them in the
first place. Over and over and over this cycle is repeated and you think to
yourself how stupid these people are! At that moment, most of us have one of
those sobering moments when the Holy Spirit says loud and clear, YOU ARE NO
DIFFERENT!

Before I deal with our nation, let me deal first with each of us as
individuals. We are all susceptible and at different times in our life fall
into this pattern of sin. This is why I implore you each day to stay in the
Word, pray, keep close to the Lord, be in church on Sunday or some day
during the week, and find ways to serve the Lord. You see, all of these
things working together insure that you are never far from Christ. It keeps
you constantly focused on the Lord and your faith. It makes it very
difficult to fall into the many traps satan lays for you each day to tempt
you and lead you into sin and away from God.

You know and I know that the first thing you do when you allow sin into your
life is that you stop reading the Bible as much, usually stop reading it
period. You stop praying as much, again, you often stop talking to God at
all. You quit going to church regularly, if you even go at all. You are like
Adam who after he sinned, ran and hid from God and we see that great scene
of God in the Garden asking, “Adam, where are you?”

Of course, as I tell you often sin always has a very high price tag. You
NEVER sin and get away with it. There is always a high price to pay when we
choose to sin against God. Eventually the time to pay, to suffer the
consequences of our rebellion is upon us. We then go through that season of
chastisement, of punishment, and it is during this time that most turn back
to the Lord. We ask Him to forgive us, repent of our sins, and in the season
of punishment find our relationship with Christ again. Eventually the season
of punishment ends and we are back to living our lives again. Hopefully we
learned our lesson and have strengthened our walk with the Lord and will do
all we have to do each day to stay close to Him, live in obedience to His
Word, and enjoy the blessings of that relationship with Jesus.

*Hear my word for you today! The United States is no different than the
children of Israel. We are a wicked and rebellious people who have forsaken
our God. We have squandered His many blessings and have turned this blessed
land into one that is cursed. We have turned to every false god, idol, and
philosophy the world has dreamed up in opposition to the God of the Bible
and His Truth. We proudly and legally practice infanticide in this nation,
slaughtering 4,000 babies every 24 hours. We have embraced, celebrated, and
accepted as normal deviant sexual choices that God never intended man to
engage in. We have opened the floodgates to allow pornography and every kind
of sexual sin man can imagine to exist without any restraint.

As Paul told his young disciple Timothy in 2 Timothy 3, men have become “
lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient
to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash,
conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of
godliness but denying its power. “

Just as God spared not His wrath on his own chosen people, punishing them
for their rebellion, so will the wrath of God be felt on this nation for our
rebellion. In the past God has poured out His judgment on nations by
allowing their enemies to take them captive. I believe today as I type these
words that unless this nation immediately repents, turns back to God and to
His Truth, ISLAM WILL BE OUR BABYLON!!! Amen.

I love you and care about you so much. For those who have been reading the
Daily Devotional for any length of time, you know that I am probably about
the most positive person you will ever meet. However, I am also one of the
most realistic. I can’t read the Bible and read about God’s judgment on the
children of Israel for their cycle of sin and not understand that we are
facing His judgment for our rebellion. The Bible is also very clear that
even amongst God’s choice servants, when they sinned there was always a
price to pay. Why would we think for a second we can sin and get away with
it?

My prayer for you today is that you will realize that there is a huge price
to pay when we sin. Our rebellion to God always brings consequences.
Likewise, God blesses us for our obedience. So it really boils down to a
choice between consequences and blessings. I have to tell you as someone who
has experienced both, blessings are MUCH better! It really makes sinning not
only an act against God, but really stupid since we know we aren’t going to
get away with it. I pray today that the Lord will speak to your heart and
each time you are confronted with the choice to sin, you will remember that
you pay a huge price for that sin at some point. It is just as easy to OBEY
God, and instead of dealing with the pain of whatever consequences arise,
you can enjoy the blessings that flow from your obedience!!!

As for this nation, I sense our time is very short. I sense in my spiritual
gut that at any moment God could unleash His wrath on this land. We are not
only due His judgment, we are long OVERDUE! As I see the events of this
world unfolding, I clearly see that Islam could very easily be God’s
instrument of judgment on this nation for our rebellion, just like Babylon
was His instrument of judgment on the children of Israel for their
rebellion. I only know the glimpses we get from the Word what being taken
captive and enslaved by a hostile people would be like. None of us can even
begin to fathom it. I do know that it will be horrible. I also know that it
can be avoided IF we act now.

That is why I do what I do, with Liveprayer in operation literally 24/7/365.
We have no more time. Our time has run out. Time will eventually tell and
history will record the fall of this great nation at the hands of Islam
should we stay on the spiritual course we are presently on. We are simply
living in freedom today by the grace and mercy of Almighty God. I will keep
doing all that I can each and every day to sound the trumpet of warning, to
use all of the resources at my disposal to lead this nation back to God and
to Biblical Truth so we might be spared His soon coming wrath and judgment.

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,

Ties Between Mike Huckabee And John Hagee Discovered! (He Also Has Ties To Kenneth Copeland, Tim LaHaye, And Rick Warren)

It is getting harder and harder to avoid applying the “how can two walk together unless they be agreed”of Amos 3:3 to Mike Huckabee. I have already given you the ties between Huckabee and Kenneth Copeland: Mike Huckabee Defends Kenneth Copeland!, as well as those between Huckabee and Rick Warren: Why The Media Likes Mike Huckabee So Much: He Is A Rick Warren Worker!. Well, now here comes news that Tim LaHaye of the false doctrine Left Behind novels (I am not calling it false doctrine because of the pretribulation stance but rather because of many other things see More “Left Behind” False Doctrine Exposed, Should Christians Commit Murder For “The Cause”? and False Doctrine In “Left Behind”: The Remnant Teaches Against the Doctrine of the God-Sent Strong Delusion) as well as a “Christian marital sexuality” book that is just as perverse as the teachings of Juanita Bynum and Thomas Weeks III (like them he takes the false position that it is OK to defile someone with ungodly sexual activity so long as that person is your spouse). Well, LaHaye just endorsed Huckabee.

Now Tim LaHaye with his books and movies promotes the flavor of pretribulation dispensationalism that is heavily contributed to the creation of precisely the “attack Iran to protect Israel” Christian Zionism political worldview that has allowed John Hagee to exploit it and become a political player. (LaHaye is also himself a leading figure of the religious right through the Council For National Policy, a group heavily indebted to cult leader Sun Myung Moon behind the scenes … see Want A List Of Pastors Who Took Sun Myung Moon’s Money?, and a Christian Zionist in his own right.)

Well, the Christian brother at Pro Libertate has discovered a longtime connection between Hagee’s people and Huckabee.

Quoting him: “Late last Summer, a cover story in Strang’s New Man magazine anointed Huckabee as the heir apparent to George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. In recent weeks, Huckabee has tapped Strang to serve on his “Faith and Values Coalition,” which is intended to attract money from, and consolidate support within, the Christian Right. Strang served a similar role in the early days of Bush the Lesser’s first presidential campaign. Strang is also a regional director of Hagee’s Christians United for Israel, a pressure group that describes itself – without a detectable hint of irony – as a “Christian AIPAC,” as if one such organization weren’t a sufficient burden and blight upon our land .. Stephen Strang is the human vinculum between Huckabee and Hagee. Strang, a long-time friend and business associate of Hagee, presides over a Pentecostal publishing empire; among Strang’s imprints is Front Line books, which has published several of Hagee’s books, including his latest, In Defense of Israel.” Now this “In Defense of Israel” is the same one where Hagee denies that Jesus Christ is the Messiah! See John Hagee Claims That Jesus Christ Was Not The Messiah, More On John Hagee Jesus Did Not Come To Be The Messiah Apostasy Book, and Can We Do Anything To Speed The Return Of Jesus Christ? Why I Say NO!

And this goes back to Amos 3:3. See how these people who agree walk together? It is no coincidence, but rather because they are dealing with the same evil spirits: a lust for power and wealth that causes them to come together in like mind and united purpose because they have given themselves over to them. Folks, this is serious business, and it is for God’s people, not those who have sold out to the world and believe that the kingdom of God can be advanced through its ways rather than by what Jesus Christ did on the cross and the workings of the Holy Spirit through the church. These religious right folks are honestly trying to re – establish Constantine’s imperial Roman state church in America with its “state theology of Eusebius” as its doctrine, which actually makes them a bigger threat than the religious left!

Christians, what will happen will happen. God is in ultimate control, and things like who will be made leaders of nations are all part of His plan of bringing history to its conclusion and the return of His Son Jesus Christ, who Himself does not know the day or hour that said event will happen. So do not fret because of these things … they were prophesied long ago in Matthew 24, Revelation, Daniel, and similar. Our tasks are 1.) to persevere until the end and 2.) not allow the wicked state of the world to cause us to reject 1.) by joining and supporting these anti – Christ movements. All you have to do is look at how “Christian broadcasting” and the “Christian media” have worked together to create a class of celebrities with a lot of money, power, and influence that are capable of pulling such a thing off: again consider the influence of things like Paul Crouch’s TBN empire, Rod Parsley’s get out the vote efforts being credited for George W. Bush carrying Ohio (Parsley originally attached himself to Roman Catholic Rick Santorum), and now this. Please know that in the very near future, these people are going to have more influence still.

How? Well so far the religious right has been thus that: a movement of white conservative evangelical Christians. But now they are expanding. First Barack HUSSEIN Obama then Hillary Clinton spoke at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church under the auspices of “we must all come together to combat AIDS”. Please recall that Pat Robertson’s CBN endorsed Warren’s invitation to Obama, and the invite to Clinton has been met with silence from the evangelical leadership that has been unwilling to stand up to either Rick Warren or the emergent church (see Abrahamic Faith Continues The Battle Against Rick Warren Purpose Driven Apostasy In Southern Baptist Convention). Another thing about Huckabee … he is bragging about how he received 48% of the black vote in Arkansas. Come on, the man is a very gifted Baptist preacher with a moderate populist economic message, so what prevents this guy from going into virtually any black church and bringing down the house, especially with Barack Obama offending some of the more conservative black Christian Democrats with his support for abortion and gay rights (see Pastors: Keep Obama Balaam out of your pulpit!)?

See Christians, Satan does not care about your race or religious affiliation, he just wants to see your soul receive the same fate as he. Do not let the false promises of religion and politics be the tool that he uses to lead you astray. Christians, if Mike Huckabee is the next president or vice president of the United States (I still thinking that a Giuliani – Huckabee ticket is more likely … please recall that Pat Robertson endorsed the former Is The Pat Robertson Endorsement Of Rudy Giuliani An Attempt To Freeze Out Ron Paul?), let it happen without your help. Please recall that this has been my position on moneychanger Mormon Mitt Romney from day one (see why I call him a moneychanger here: because it is true! The Unsaved Have More Discernment Over Mitt Romney Than The Religious Right), and it applies to Mike Huckabee as well.

And in the event that an endorsement from James Dobson makes you think that it is OK to trust Huckabee, please see this: Warren, Robertson, Dobson, Other Evangelical Leaders Were Recruited For Globalist Agendas. And lest some of you are tempted to write me off as some crank complainer who offers no solutions, let me say this: Jesus Christ is our solution. He always has been and always will be. Our losing sight of that fact and trying to go after worldly solutions (after “Christianizing” them first) is the root of so many of our evils.

Jena Louisiana: The Black Christian Perspective

Update: See The Multiculturalism Tolerance Diversity Movement Is Greco – Roman Paganism

Let us not deceive ourselves people: this case is all about race. Why are we so unwilling to admit that this is the case? I will provide the answer: worldliness. Professing Christians are so given over to worldliness in their minds, wills, and emotions that they have no knowledge of or sensitivity to spiritual things, and even when the Holy Spirit does try to reveal the true knowledge of the Godhead to them, they reject it because it conflicts with their flesh.

And that is why so many are so willing to deny the presence of racism. Because what is racism? Sin. Sin is disobedience to God, and God in the Incarnate Person of Jesus Christ told us to love God with all our heart, soul, and strength and to love our neighbor. Racism is failure to love our neighbor. It is as simple as that. Because of its simplicity we wish to reject it to follow after the high sounding things of the world, thinking that their complexity as articulated by men with peerless credentials obtained by their much learning gives it credibility. Well I am here to tell you today that there is no knowledge outside of or apart from the Holy God, and God makes things simple to confound the great and wise so that we that are humble enough to admit our ignorance before Him will be glorified. The simple truths that come from God we reject. The complex lies that come from Satan we accept. It has been that way ever since the Garden of Eden, when God gave Adam one simple prohibition: do not touch the tree of knowledge of good and evil or eat of its fruit. But the instant that Satan comes along with his subtle words and intellectual rationalizations, the fall of man occurred.

And this, dear Christians, is the real problem. You see, once we reject that racism is a spiritual problem, we reject the only spiritual solution for that problem, which is the gospel of Jesus Christ which brings the fruits of the Holy Spirit into the regenerated believer. The inevitable result is that we seek worldly solutions for spiritual problems. And that opens the door wide open for Satan. Consider this: how many times have you heard some self – righteous Christian utter the ridiculous statement “I cannot BELIEVE that racism is a problem today! Why can’t we just get over race and get past it?” That is the conservative political and cultural viewpoint.

Now take racism away and substitute another sin in its place. “I cannot BELIEVE that murder is a problem today! I cannot BELIEVE that lying is a problem today! I cannot BELIEVE that adultery is a problem today! I cannot BELIEVE that theft/gossiping/addiction is a problem today! Why can’t we just get over it, get past it, and stop seeing homosexuality? Just stop thinking in terms of abortion?” Don’t you see how utterly ridiculous that sound? For all Bible believing Christians know that people cannot just up and stop doing these things. Yes, even born again Christians will inevitably fall into sin. We know that we were born in sin and live in a world that is corrupt, wicked, depraved, under the rule of Satan, and is doomed to die. This world is so irredeemably tainted that even the return of Jesus Christ to rule the nations with a rod of iron for 1000 years, which some postulate will be a type of final Sabbath, will cleanse the filth of sin from creation.

Why? Because the Bible teaches that even after a thousand years of rule by the return of the Incarnate Word of God Himself, once Satan is loosed, it is only going to take a LITTLE SEASON for Satan to gather up the peoples of the world for an all out rebellion against God. It will be at that point when fire will come down from heaven and destroy that corrupted creation forever, and there will be a new heaven and a new earth. And only at that time will racism be defeated. And even then, it will only be defeated in the people that are resurrected to life and get to live in New Jerusalem, the second Eden. Those that will be resurrected to death will burn forever in the lake of fire, and you had better believe that a great percentage of them will still be racists and still blaming other races, ethnicities, cultures, etc. for their fate. So no, these people will never ever just get over and past race, just as they will never give up their sorceries, abominations, murders, rebellions, gossip and filthy communication, and lusts. Just as Christ will never leave the righteous, iniquity will never leave the sinner, not even in the lake of fire.

And yet we reject that knowledge, and it is not just the right. The Christian left partakes in this too. Rejecting the ways of God for the evils of the world, they make and promote the lie that man can cleanse himself of this evil. They claim that through psychology, education, and full immersion in media brainwashing a person can be freed of racism! If that is not humanism, the notion that man can improve himself with by his own hands, what is? And what is worse, whenever they run up against recalcitrants that refuse to bow to their forced conversions, they without fail turn to the power of the state. Of course, in doing so, they knowingly trade a lesser evil for a greater one. They trade the individual sin of one racist for the collective sin of government racism. They exploit the the localized racism of certain communities to expand the very same government that has always been the chief source of racism – as well as hatred for the poor and the righteous – in any society. How ironic that the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are in Jena, Louisiana telling their black charges that the very same state has persecuted black people from the moment that it brought us over here as slaves will deliver us?

Even if Jackson and Sharpton were not part of the same left that supports atheism, homosexuality, abortion, and a multitude of other abominations it would still be self – evident that they are false preachers lacking the Holy Spirit of Truth because they daily bear witness from within themselves the LIE that good can come from evil, that light would come from darkness. If these two men were true preachers of righteousness, they would preach to their black charges and to people of ALL RACES that the state is part of the anti – Christ system that nailed Jesus Christ to the cross and will one day be used by the beast, the man of sin, to inflict upon the church the greatest persecution that has ever been seen! Or what, black Christians, have you not yet been told that the same state that you petition for voting rights, fair treatment from police (yes, I have been stopped for driving while black) and anti – discrimination measures (yes, I have faced discrimination while seeking employment and on the job) will one day be placing you in concentration camps and demanding that you renounce Christ or else face the guillotine? And for all of you who are looking for the pre – tribulation rapture to come and take you away from all of these Republican Confederate flag wavers that hate rap music and won’t give black quarterbacks their due? Read your Bible people: Revelation 13:1-8 says that the anti – Christ will make war against and overcome the saints. How will that happen if the church is raptured away and is safe in heaven? Why did Jesus Christ tell us to head for the hills in Matthew 24 (start in verse 15) when the abomination of desolation takes place if we will already be raptured then or shall be shortly thereafter? No, a lot of you will follow the beast and the false prophet precisely because he will offer a worldly carnal answer to your racial grievances that you never bothered to give over to Jesus Christ. “O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer?” That is talking about YOU, Christian, which is why you need to stop listen to some of these old hymns every now and then.

You white conservatives that daily commit idolatry by worshiping the state are cut from the same cloth, by the way. WHAT ON EARTH DOES YOUR AMERICAN FLAG, THE SYMBOL OF JUST ANOTHER NATION ON THIS FALLEN SINFUL EARTH, HAVE TO DO WITH JESUS CHRIST? WHY IS IT IN YOUR CHURCHES? WHY DO YOU SUPPORT A POLITICAL AGENDA THAT COERCES CHILDREN TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO IT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS? DON’T YOU KNOW THAT WHEN GOD SENDS FIRE DOWN FROM HEAVEN ALL OF YOUR LITTLE AMERICAN FLAGS AND STATUE OF LIBERTY IMAGES WILL BE BURNT UP? HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THAT IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH THERE WILL BE NO AMERICAN FLAGS OR ANYONE THAT WANTS OR PAYS ANY RESPECT TO THEM? WE HAVE NO KING BUT JESUS CHRIST AND ONLY HE SHOULD YOU SERVE! How many of you are so unwilling to acknowledge the sin that abounds in this nation merely because it is what you worship and is where your heart truly is?

So yes, this Jena, Louisiana case is all about racism. The Jena 6 committed a vicious criminal assault against another person because he was white. They were charged by a white prosecutor and Mychal Bell was convicted by an all – white jury with a white judge presiding of attempted murder because they were black. Not a few whites, especially in that area, are defending the charges and conviction because the criminals are black. And not a few blacks are demanding that these criminals not receive any legal sanction whatsoever because of the race of the victim and perpetrators and the circumstances surrounding the case.

Well let me tell you something people who support an attempted murder charge: in order for something to be attempted murder, there has to be clear evidence of a premeditated attempt to kill someone! Merely assaulting someone in a manner that MIGHT cause their death is felony assault and battery. Even if a gun or knife is used (as opposed to a tennis shoe) it is assault with a deadly weapon. Even if a spur of the moment decision to kill someone is made, it is only manslaughter. No premeditation, no murder, no premeditation, no attempted murder, and it is as simple as that. The prosecutor knows this, the judge knows this, the jury was instructed of this, and virtually anyone who has ever watched a cop drama on TV knows this! Further, of all the people that get beaten and battered senseless or even stabbed or shot, how often does it result in attempted murder charges? If such were sought even 1% of the time, our legal system would be hopelessly clogged, and we wouldn’t have enough prisons to hold all the men – and women – that are serving the 25 year sentences. And yet so many people are consenting to this unrighteousness while pointing the finger of hypocrisy at the unrighteousness of others.

Meanwhile, you have not a few blacks demanding that nothing at all be done to these boys merely because it is alleged that a similar assault by multiple white males against a lone black males was perpetrated. Since the white people got off, they say, let the black males get off too. Do these people not know that where the old covenant calls for an eye for an eye, the new covenant says to turn the other cheek?

This process of tit for tat and continual retribution will only result in all lawbreakers going free and more evil and disorder in the society. If equal justice is what these people want, why not demand that both the white and black assailants be charged with simple battery? Simple: these people are not interested in justice. Rather, they are merely interested in establishing the concept that because of the presence of racism, poverty, and state oppression blacks should not obey the law. Their zeal in this regard is so great that they are willing to allow those that they are allege are white racist criminals go free despite a similar beating of a black person. Their very campaign to prevent having the perpetrators of a black racist crime accountable for their actions depends on having the perpetrators of a white racist crime going unpunished. This baby – splitting logic that only serves to prove that evil only begets evil can come only from a depraved fallen worldly mind.

And do not forget that Satan is truly behind this, manipulating it to his own ends. Everyone who casts aside God to join this madness on one side or another is contributing to the injustice, hatred, division, rebellion, fear, and outright SIN in this world. All this does is create a climate where everyone will be oh so willing to accept anyone or anything that promises peace and unity, and they will do so at all costs. The forces of anti – Christ are so bold that they are not even trying to hide. The civil rights leaders are making the fantastically ridiculous lie Jena, Louisiana symbolizes why there are so many blacks in jail. Our failed war on drugs (which should be illegal, but its enforcement should not be an excuse to exploit and oppress the poor and seize private property for the state) notwithstanding, these people are actually demanding that victims of black violent criminals, who almost always are also black, not receive any justice, and that no effort be made to prevent them from hurting other innocent people. Even criminals benefit from law enforcement, because the more criminals there are in the streets and the more there is a general state of disorder and chaos, the result is CRIMINALS KILLING EACH OTHER. Or have we forgotten the all out gang warfare in our streets during the 70s and 80s?

But ultimately, it is not about justice or opposing the sin of racism but exploiting this issue to increase state power and even more wickedness. Exhibit A: homosexuals are exploiting this incident to promote their own sinful agenda. Exhibit B: the media is using this case to show why we need more poverty programs. And you have black activists thrilled that this case is galvanizing the black community. Al Sharpton called it the rebirth of the civil rights movement for the 21st century. I heard a host on the black talk radio station joyfully proclaim that she was so happy that so many young blacks were involved, and maybe this will stop the previous black generation’s criticisms of their not taking up the fight. It is obvious that these folks do not care about true justice. I am reminded of how the parents of a young black man murdered in a New York hate crime were appalled at how Jesse Jackson in told them to their face in their own home how he was going to exploit this incident to help David Dinkins beat Ed Koch in the upcoming mayoral election.

Folks, I really couldn’t make this up if I tried, but it is true. This case is proof that following after the ways of the world can only lead to evil. This case proves that we need God, because true justice can only come from Him. Darkness cannot produce light, and a sinful world cannot produce righteousness. You need God, and God wants you. Why not answer His call? Follow The Three Step Salvation Plan right now. Do it now, for not only is tomorrow not promised, but the next hour or minute is not.

Did The Communist Atheist Stanley Levison Write Part Of Martin Luther King’s I Have A Dream Speech?

Note: this is not just something out of the blue. It is in response to a devotional that I received from a ministry that I really respect: borntowin.net, based on Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech that discussed the Christian aspects of it. Now Born To Win is not a superficial televangelism outfit, but a teaching ministry that deals with a lot of heavy Christian topics. So I felt that if a ministry like THIS is going around promoting the notion that King was positive for Christianity, then it such a notion is taking hold in fundamentalist religious Christianity as opposed to merely popular, cultural, or political Christianity, and therefore this issue needs to be examined.

It is known that King employed Stanley Levison as a speechwriter.  If Levison did write part of the speech (which the link http://www.school-for-champions.com/speeches/king_dream.htm acknowledges as possible), then what should Christians make of the speech? And what does the fact that a Christian minister like King sought the ideas of atheist communists like Levison and jainists (an Indian religious tradition) like Mohandas “Mahatma” Ghandi (whose personal religious beliefs were reputed to be agnostic; Ghandi was said to have borrowed from various religious traditions, including Christianity, to create his political philosophy) make fundamentalist think about King? At the very least, we have to consider that this MAY be why the religious left (as well as the secular left and the “we hate Christianity” left) loves King so much.

Oh yes, and this Stanford’s King Encyclopedia Entry On Stanley link speaks of how much Levison was involved in the SCLC despite the SCLC’s proclamations that their laws prevented communists from “officially” joining.  This link says that he was involved in ALL their activities: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Levison

I propose that Martin Luther King’s main legacies are 1) mixing Christianity with jainism (syncretism … and we can go ahead and include mixing Christianity with atheist communism as well while we are at it) and 2) the notion that Christianity supports political subversion through nonviolent civil disobedience. Now claiming that 1) is ok is a nonstarter: what part of “thou shalt have no other gods besides me” do you not understand? But I am open to any counterarguments that claim that nonviolent civil disobedience was given to us by God under either covenant. (Please do not accuse me of opposing or being motivated by an opposition to the aims of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. Yes, I know that many of the aims of King and the civil rights movement were biblical. Some were not by the way … for instance King and abortionist Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood were great friends … when you consider that she also got along great with Hitler, amazing company Sanger kept, isn’t it? This is all about King’s METHODS, which included syncretism and political subversive tactics.) In light of that (and in light of the fact that it is reasonable to conclude that the very reason why I as a black man have the right to have a weblog to express these views in the first place is because of the success of the civil rights movement), what should Bible - believing Christians think of King and his legacy? I solicit and welcome all comments.

No, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, We Don’t Only Care About Abortion. BUT WE DO CARE ABOUT IT!

Seriously, who do these Democrats think that they are fooling with this nonsense? http://www.bloggernews.net/18052 Yes, has been wrong of the religious right to focus on a narrow set of issues. Not only is it bad theology, but it has also been bad politics, as had their refusal to deal with poverty and racism cost them the votes of millions of fundamentalist and evangelical Christian blacks and Hispanics that would have given them a permanent governing majority. But if these people honestly think that abortion and gay marriage are negotiable issues for fundamentalist Christians, they are absolutely insane. The only thing that will get a pro – life voter to vote for a pro – choice candidate is either A) anger at the pro – life candidate or B) finding out that the “pro – life candidate” is actually a pro – choice liar. That is precisely what happened in 2006. The Christian right voters got sick of the lies and the excuses that the GOP has basically been telling them since Reagan’s first term (when a large GOP majority in the Senate yielded two pro – abortion judges, one of them, Sandra Day O’Connor, abortion – on – demand) and either voted for Democrats (some of them who were willing to play pro – life) or stayed at home. Well, I have to ask you this, “Christian” left (who for the most part seem to have left their Christianity), how come YOU care as much about abortion and gay rights as the Republicans do? How come YOU are dividing Americans and dividing the church over this issue by taking a stand that opposes scripture? Now,  I will be the first to admit, virtually all of these Christian right leaders are hypocrites. But on the issues of abortion and homosexuality, their stances are scriptural! Not only are you all being just as hypocritical by demanding that the other side unilaterally disarm so that you can win a border state or two in the 2008 election and pick up another Senate seat or two so that you can ram your ACLU general counsel Ruth Bader Ginsburg Supreme Court nominees through (and then LIE and claim that they are MODERATES, how on earth is the general counsel of the ACLU a moderate?) but you are being fundamentally dishonest! Now, of course, this might be a ploy not so much for conservative Christian voters, but for the middle, by trying to paint the other side as extremists. But they are not going to buy it. Why? Because moderates are MODERATES. They don’t hate the other side for disagreeing with them. They understand and respect that a great many people, many Christian but some not, consider abortion murder. They can look at a sonogram and see a baby writhing in pain as it is sucked out of her mother’s womb (http://www.liveprayer.com/abortion.cfm) and understand how a person could see abortion as murder. They may disagree, but they do so RESPECTFULLY. So when they see this sort of self – righteous hypocritical deception, they cringe! And you know what else, Christian left? They see pro – abortion pro – homosexual Republicans! They see Rudy Giuliani leading the current pack of GOP contenders! Meanwhile, liberal Democrats that oppose abortion and gay rights are not even allowed to speak at Presidential nominating conventions held in their own states! Even the anti – Christ New York Times has started to acknowledge the importance of at least LYING to the people who care about the innocent blood shed in abortion mills every day with editorials like this: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/22/opinion/22henneberger.html. So where are you, Obama? Aren’t you supposed to be avante garde? The choice of a new generation? The next big thing? Weren’t you the one who was supposed to be able to bring us all together? Well, Mr. Muslim turned agnostic turned liberal Christian Barack HUSSEIN Obama, you are going to just have to try a little bit harder than your little left wing think tank echo chamber finger wagging in the face of the many tens of millions of Americans who disagree with you! The many tens of millions of Americans that didn’t see American Beauty. That didn’t see Monster’s Ball. That didn’t see Cider House Rules. That didn’t see Brokeback Mountain. They didn’t see any of that stuff because they disagree with it! Now these people may vote for you, Mr. HUSSEIN Obama, if you can convince them that you respect them though you may disagree with them. But self – righteous sanctimonius hypocritical finger wagging in the face of people who because of their religious, political, legal, moral, intellectual, or scientific convictions believe that there is something wrong with sucking a human life out of a womb putting it down the garbage disposal just isn’t going to cut it!

Jesus Christ To The Religious Left: Why Do You Call Me Lord Lord And Do Not Do What I Say? Luke 6:46

Please click www.liveprayer.com/signup.htm to sign up to receive this devotional in your email. *Personal note: This is one of the times when Pastor Keller’s views do not line up with my own, but Keller is still a Bible – based preacher so there is nothing wrong with providing this devotional.

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”  Luke 6:46

The “religious left.”  In case you have been sleeping, there is a new group
of people in our nation who call themselves the “religious left.” This is a relatively new term so you may not be familiar with it.  That is why I felt it was so critical to take the time today to insure you not only understood what it means, but who actually makes up this new group of people. Forty years ago, this group didn’t even exist. They have actually evolved and
grown tremendously over the past decade.

The “religious left” is made up of people who identify themselves as
Christians and hold strong religious beliefs as well as sharing left-wing
ideals.  Obviously, this group has risen up in opposition to those who have
been tagged the “religious right” or the “Christian right.”  The “Christian
right” is that group of Bible-believing Christians who are politically
active and seek to elect to office those candidates who hold to Biblical
values on the key spiritual issues of our day that are also political
issues.

These would be issues like abortion and life related matters, gay marriage,
family issues, the proliferation of the pornography industry, and the drive
to remove God from the public square.  Those in the “religious left”
actually take an anti-Biblical position on these issues and are also heavily
involved in the ecumenical movement, environmental issues, opposing war for
any reason, world hunger, and social issues like healthcare, welfare, and
education.

There is nothing wrong with pursing these noble social issues, Believers
should be more involved on those fronts.  The problem with this group is
their anti-Biblical position on the key spiritual issues of our day and
their involvement in these ecumenical movements that require you to set
aside the Absolute Truths of the Bible.

I watched with interest a last week as CNN carried a special program about
faith with the leading Democratic Candidates who are vying for their parties
nomination in the 2008 Presidential election.  Each one dealt with various
faith-related issues in the context of their own personal faith.  I watched
in amazement as each one talked about how important their faith was to them,
how it guided them, how it gave them strength, and went out of their way to
position themselves as people of great faith.

Like my dear mother used to tell me, talk is cheap.  I refuse to try and
judge their heart, that is something only God can and will do.  However, I
have every right to judge them on their actions in accordance with God’s
Word.  How can you say you are a person of faith, yet vote to support the
legalized slaughter of over 4,000 innocent babies every day?  How can you
say you are a person of faith, yet vote to redefine God’s Holy Institution
of Marriage?  How can you say you are a person of faith, yet support special
rights for people who have chosen to engage in perverted sex acts God calls
an abomination, including their ability to adopt children into their deviant
lifestyle?

I guess the real question becomes, what is their faith really in?  It is
inconsistent to say you are person of faith yet continually take a stand in
complete opposition to God’s Word.  Jesus said that if you love Me, you will
obey Me.  That means His Word.  Of course, those in the “religious left” has
been born out of the liberal “churches” of our day who make a mockery of
Christ as they operate in open rebellion to the Truth of the Bible while
claiming to be followers of Christ.

They support the legalized slaughter of babies, redefining marriage to
include men with men and women with women, perverting the family by brining
children into homes with homosexual parents, and embrace ecumenical
fellowships with all of the cults and false religions of the world.  They
deny the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, have rejected God’s Word
for the Absolute Truth it represents, and have bought into the lie of the
world that there are “many roads that lead to God.”  These are the people
who make up the “religious left!”

I love you and care about you so much.  It is beyond me how a person can
consider themselves a Christian, which means they are a follower of Christ
and automatically a follower of His Word, yet take a public position in
complete opposition to that Word.  You better wake up, since this is the
largest growing segment of Christendom, this apostate group who calls
themselves Christians but go to churches who operate in complete  rebellion
to Christ and the Bible

This is the group that is Biblically illiterate since they don’t even
believe the Bible to be true.  These are the people who see nothing wrong
with electing a member of a satanic cult to the White House because they
think a Mormon is a Christian.  They are the politically correct crowd who
has bought the lie a woman has the right to kill her baby.  They are the
group who lambastes those who speak out against the sin of homosexuality,
calling them names like “intolerant” and “hateful.”

The “religious left” is a group who will wield incredible political
influence in the upcoming 2008 election.  They are mostly made up of people
who call themselves Christians, but support the things Christ and the Bible
condemn.  Pray for these people since you can’t call yourself a follower of
Christ, yet stand on the opposite side of Christ on so many issues.  Truth
is not what we want it to be, it is what God says it is.  We don’t have the
luxury of giving our heart and life to Christ and then live any way we want.
A true follower of Christ is a follower of His Word.  Jesus said, “Why do
you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,

An ACLU Lawyer Exposes The ACLU’s Embrace Of Political Correctness

See this link. http://opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010111 While the ACLU has always been evil, they have never been politically correct, willing to defend neo – Nazis marching through Jewish neighborhoods and similar. Of course, their anti – political correctness was never a virtue, just a device that made them even more evil because it was necessary at the time. Now that society has “advanced” to a point that fits the ACLU’s longer agenda (they’ve basically won), it is now expedient for them to join the rest of the left. The sad thing is that the writer of this article was duped into believing that the ACLU ever really cared about freedom. Christians have long said that the ACLU did not truly care about freedom, but was merely pretending to long enough to promote their subversive agenda, and the same goes for Norman Lear’s “liberal anticommunist” group People For The American Way. Now this woman is finding out what Christians have said all along: that one cannot do good by advancing evil. Jews are quite possibly the biggest victims of the ACLU’s evil. Jews formed an alliance with the ACLU decades ago in order to remove Christian prayers from public schools and cease Christian observances in public places. In return, Jews had to join the left and give them a great many accommodations. The ACLU has repaid them first by advocating neo – Nazis/skinheads/KKK types, and now by enabling anti – Jewish and anti – Israel Muslim terrorists. Not to mention my longterm assertion that joining forces with the ACLU to make this country more secular using the judiciary and the media makes it much harder to maintain and increase the numbers of any religion (except strangely enough Islam). Jews who supported the ACLU feeling that the biggest threat to their future and security (and sensitivities) was a mainstream culture that despite all of its problems generally glorified Christianity is now finding out that the biggest threat to God’s chosen people is ALWAYS a culture and nation that exalts itself above and in the place of that same God. Jews outwardly speak of being concerned with creeping secularism, intermarriage, and their kids being ignorant of Jewish culture and values and some even claim that “whatever is bad for fundamentalist and evangelical Christians is good for us”, but deep down they know that something very sinister is afoot, and their betrayal at the hands of not only the ACLU but an increasing number of their old allies is just part of it. Now the anti – Semitic thing to do would be to “blame the Jews for all this mess” and express a perverse sense of ironic joy plus an “I told you so” over their betrayal by the ACLU and the left. I am sorry, but such a thing would just be totally wrong. Instead, we should all be outraged at how the forces of evil tricked, used, and abused the Jewish people by extending one hand claiming friendship while concealing a razor sharp dagger dipped in poison intended for the back in the other. Realize that the writer of this piece has still not faced the truth, claiming in her closing passage that the organization has merely “changed incrementally.” Let us pray that the Jewish people recognize that the ACLU (and similar) are actually revealing more and more of what they have always been: haters of God and as such of God’s people.

The Michael Vick Case: More Proof That Our Darwinian Society Values Animals Over People

I first mentioned the outrage of two teenagers getting ten years for killing a PUPPY in this prior post linked to here. Now, the story of NFL star Michael Vick’s allegedly running a dogfighting ring is national news, with even U.S. Congressman Tom Lantos getting involved. Now, I got hammered quite a bit over bashing the puppy – killing post, with a bunch of people claiming “statistical evidence shows that if you victimize an animal today you will victimize a person tomorrow.” Sure, but that same evidence also shows that if you victimize a PERSON today you will victimize another PERSON tomorrow, yet many of these same people who are such huge animal rights activists JUST HAPPEN TO OPPOSE truth – in – sentencing laws, three strikes laws, and other measures that keep violent criminals off our streets. This is not to say that I necessarily give blanket support to our often less than honorable government to give out life sentences to people for stealing a slice of people because it is their “third strike” (especially when it has been shown that prosecutors are much more willing to reduce charges for white and affluent recidivist defendants than they are poor and minority ones in order to prevent them from serving life terms; yes this nation does oppress the poor, and that is one of the reasons why the day is coming when God shall judge it just as He judged Israel), but rather to point out the immorality of supporting giving a person ten years for killing a puppy while demanding that people who commit rape, felony assault, spousal abuse, child molestation, drug dealing, armed robbery, etc. be sent to “diversion programs for rehabilitation.” Now if what one REALLY cared about was protecting people from harm, then one would advocate that all people that have committed violence against PEOPLE  – especially those with lengthy criminal records and/or have gang affiliations - serve out their sentences, because there is a great chance that such violent criminals will victimize more people. But that is what these people OPPOSE. Yet, they support lengthy sentences for people who victimize animals because they MIGHT victimize a person? Please. Such people have no true regard for human suffering. They love animals more than people, and use the “well, if you kill a dog today you’ll kill a child tomorrow” argument as a way to try to win over people like, well, me. But I’m not buying it.

And this Michael Vick case proves it. Why? Because professional athletes, especially NFL and NBA players in recent years, have long been known to assault people, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THEIR WIVES AND GIRLFRIENDS, and commit other violent crimes. Yet, except for a brief spurt of attention during the O. J. Simpson trial, no one really cares. Everyone pretty much ignores it. It CERTAINLY wasn’t a matter for Congress to get involved in, especially a Congressman from CALIFORNIA when the alleged incident in question took place in VIRGINIA and the accused lives and works in GEORGIA.

Now do not claim that I am on here defending or promoting animal abuse. I am merely asking why do we care so much with abused ANIMALS and so little when it is abused PEOPLE? Just over the weekend, someone accused an NFL player of punching him in the face and breaking bones in his eye socket. Will the fellow ever see correctly out of that eye again? How will that affect his ability to work and earn money for his family? Ah, but he is a human, so no one cares. It barely registers a mention in the local media. But had he been a DOG, CAT, or HAMSTER, Congress would be involved. What next, animals being protected by hate crimes laws? Meanwhile, 50 million and counting are dead thanks to our abortion industry, and the push to legalize euthanasia (where does Rudy Giuliani stand on that after all?) in this country continues. Doesn’t it just make you proud to be an American? Or maybe it should make you proud to be a criminal. So long as you only victimize people with your rapes, knifings, shootings, drug pushing, and assaults, you are going to have the ACLU and all the other civil rights and liberal groups behind you. But the second you touch an animal, well that is just crossing the line!

The American Dream Turns Nightmare: How We Oppress The Poor

For the uninitated, Gwinnett County is an Atlanta suburb that was turned into a prosperous high growth area first by the flight of white professionals from (though they deny it) the forced “integration” of Atlanta neighborhoods and public schools and second by whites seeking jobs and in many cases cheaper real estate and generally lower cost of living from the northeast and midwest. The result is an area that not only generally goes 65% Republican or higher, but has an EXCELLENT public school system – by southern standards anyway. (You better believe that Gwinnett County public schools are going to be among the first to be duped into offering the Neuroiconoclasticskeptisiser tactic anti – Christ “Bible” courses.) Well, wherever there are EXCELLENT public schools, members of the lumpen proletariat with upwardly mobile designs are going to seek it out and thereby better themselves: in this case blacks and Hispanics fleeing the generally AWFUL public schools in the forcibly “integrated” Fulton and DeKalb counties. Now when members of the lumpen proletariat invade public white flight academies, all sorts of things happen, including a decline in their precious test scores. So now, the bourgeoisie strike back: Gwinnett County public schools are eliminating all non – college preparatory and vocational/technical courses. The stated rationale: “increasing standards to increase student performance.” The real reason: A) to frustrate the mostly low – income “underachievers” into dropping out before they can drag down test scores and B) to dissuade future proletariats from invading. Future political control is also at stake, as so many proles have invaded nearby Cobb County that it is now in play for – gasp! – Democrats! That fact is why the race – baiting (the fellow vigorously defended Georgia’s flying of the Confederate flag as “his heritage” even though he’s from IOWA) thrice – married champion of family values during the 90s Bob Barr is now working for the ACLU.

So, in order to keep their precious test scores (status, pride demon) and power (control and mammon demons) they are willing to drastically increase their dropout rate and doom their own kids – well actually in THEIR mind those are not THEIR kids but THOSE PEOPLE’S KIDS (a lack of love, empathy, compassion, or responsibility for those less fortunate and in need of your help, which not only involves many other demons but most prominently is rebellion against God’s Word and Authority) – to a life of poverty. And get this: the vast majority of the people putting this into effect, supporting this policy, and who voted for the people that are implementing this policy are CHRISTIAN. That is right, Gwinnett County has a high percentage of fundamentalist and evangelical Christians (plus not a few Catholics) and regular churchgoers. You’d think that these Bible – believing Christians would be using their wealth and influence over the school system in order to elect people and advocate for policies that would UPLIFT the poor. They ought to be THRILLED at the opportunity to save striving hard working striving poor people from the clutches of the DeKalb, Fulton, and Clayton County urban liberals. But oh no. These people have totally sold themselves out to the right wing conservative Republican political views that causes them to totally negate what the Bible says about compassion and helping the poor. They are no different from all of the “urban” fundamentalist, evangelical, and Catholic Christians who regularly pull the lever for pro – homosexual, pro – abortion, anti – family, pro – criminal, pro – illegal immigrant, pro – welfare Democrats for their own, er, reasons. I am telling you, Christians, even if your politics DOESN’T take you to the lake of fire (and it will for more than a few of you) you guys on the right and left (and in the, well, center I suppose) are still allowing yourselves to be manipulated by the forces of anti – Christ, and this is just one example how. The worst part is that this isn’t some big grand sweeping policy enacted by federal government or implemented by a Supreme Court fiat, and it isn’t even a state government action. Rather, it is one of those rarely noticed routine local decisions whereby people and governments set themselves against Christ, and it happens either right under the nose of or with the gleeful support of so many otherwise good Christians because they have allowed themselves to be tricked by the weapon of mass distraction that is politics. It doesn’t even take a person with the Holy Spirit gift of discernment or a person whose profession or hobby is to analyze the news from a Christian perspective to see through things like this. All it takes is someone who is willing to A) learn the scriptures and apply them to EVERY situation (and I mean all the scriptures and not just those that favor your lifestyle, beliefs, situation, or “values”) and B) consider how things like this affect the other guy. If YOU were the struggling low income single mother of a teenage male, how would YOU like for ALL OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY to conspire to flunk your son out of school and send him to jail? Is THAT “loving thy neighbor as thyself”, right wing Christians? Now right wing Christians, I encourage and solicit any and all responses that are based on cultural and political beliefs and things derived from Bible verses taken against their context that you can use in defense of this or any other obviously anti – Christian policy.

The Anti – Christ Strategy On Display In New York Times Gun Control Article

This link (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/us/06firearms.html?_r=1&oref=slogin) on how our increasingly Vatican – run judiciary was willing to co – opt liberal language to give the right a gun control victory is no big news. The Supreme Court used the civil rights “disparate impact” nonsense to decide Bush versus Gore.  Anthony Kennedy referenced international law to decide that we should not be giving the death penalty to kids. And Sandra Day O’Connor used liberal precedents to justify the school voucher rulings. Now with the exception of the death penalty ruling, Bible believing conservatives generally jumped for joy when our court system gave them one of their precious but ultimately meaningless victories on one of their little “political issues” (for instance, the school voucher ruling has resulted in virtually no increase in children receiving a Bible – based education, and we have to realize that any school that actually gives a Bible – based education would not be allowed to receive federal funds from Ted Kennedy’s Department of Education; the school voucher political issue actually distracted Christians from what they should have been doing, which is raising private funds to send poor children to Christian schools). But what Christians who celebrate these court “victories” on “conservative” issues is that whenever the Supreme Court gives them what they think they want based on a liberal anti – Christ precedent, what they are actually doing is further establishing the liberal anti – Christ precedent in our system of laws, making them almost impossible to overturn, and allowing them to be used against Christians in the future. So, all of you GOP Christians who were so happy when Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and William Rehnquist (who used to keep blacks from voting) all of a sudden discovered merit in the “disparate impact” sham legal principle to get Bush into office are going to be quite upset in the very near future when that same Bush versus Gore decision is going to be cited in order to, say, uphold laws that deny Christians access to public areas to preach against homosexuality. It is a stretch, you say? Well, the Supreme Court accepting Thurgood Marshall’s SOCIOLOGY PRESENTATION  (something about how some Swedish researcher “proved” that black kids who played with white dolls had lower self – esteem than black kids who played with black dolls) to decide Brown versus Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas shows just how far these things can “stretch.” And it was absolutely chilling to read how the Heritage Foundation bragged about using “the NAACP strategy” in this gun case.

Instead of cheering this abomination, Bible – believers of all political stripes should be absolutely aghast. Check out the mindset of one of the main people whose writings were used in this “decision”, Sanford Levinson: “In an interview, Professor Levinson described himself as “an A.C.L.U.-type who has not ever even thought of owning a gun.” Amazing that this fellow speaks of “I have never even thought of owning a gun” as if feeling this way is some sort of moral virtue or sign of spiritual purity. He speaks of it in the same manner that you would hope a Christian would be able to (truthfully) say “I have never even thought of committing adultery” or “I have never even thought of practicing occult.” If this isn’t a clear example that secular humanism is nothing more than not only a mindset and value system but a whole other RELIGION in direct competition with and opposition to Christianity, what is?

And I have news for you Christians who are celebrating this ruling built upon the corrupt rotten foundation of such subversives as Levinson and Laurence Tribe, especially you conservative/libertarian types doing your ritualistic dances around the bonfire of “individual rights”, “private property”, and whatever: Levinson and Tribe (or rather the evil spirits working in and through them) know what they are doing. Experienced spiritual deliverance ministers say that sometimes during services when they are casting demons out of a person that has multiple demons in him, the most powerful controlling (or ”root”) demon will offer up another demon to be cast out in place of him, hoping to thereby trick the deliverance ministers into leaving the trail of the real problem and allowing the root demon to remain in (and of course allow the demon that was offered up as a distraction back in later). Well, Christians, what Tribe and Levinson are all about is ABORTION and GAY RIGHTS.  That is what “INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS” means these days. Tribe and Levinson are willing to “sacrifice” (temporarily anyway) something that is politically unattainable in the current environment – banning private ownership of firearms – in order to get the Supreme Court to adopt legal thinking that can be used to protect, defend, and advance homosexuality, abortion, bestiality, euthanasia, drug legalization, prostitution, the NAMBLA agenda, and so many other anti – Christ things that you can think of. And this is the best part: after a generation or two will have been so thoroughly corrupted by the court decisions and laws built upon the Tribe/Levinson “individual rights” foundation, the political climate will be one that will support banning private ownership of firearms. People, this isn’t even the “lose a battle to win a war” strategy, because nothing is truly lost! They get the abortion/gay rights/euthanasia/whatever rulings TODAY and the gun control rulings TOMORROW! And guess who they have to thank for it? CHRISTIANS that have been duped into supporting the anti – Christ agenda through right wing (and left wing) politics. Aren’t you proud of yourselves? Stuff like this makes me so glad that I wasn’t one of those who ran out and threw up a post attacking gun control after the Virginia Tech nightmare (another one here).

Do not get me wrong, I generally oppose gun control (not only did Hitler use it to his advantage, but American blacks were once prevented from owning guns as well), and furthermore where a perfectly Biblically based argument can be made for defending oneself, arguments the other way almost always take the Bible out of context in some of the most grotesque ways possible. Rather, the point of this exercise was to demonstrate that just like in so many other ways, we must be elect. Study to show ourselves approved. Have discernment. For mindlessly running after the “gun rights” political mob (or anything else for that matter, including organized Christianity) can easily result in your running with the forces of anti – Christ.

Why Churches And Ministries Should Not Take State Money Part II

 Here is an example of what I was speaking of in Part I. Yes, it is terrible that the ACLU is trying to stop an excellent Christian ministry from helping foster kids, and the result of their evil deeds will be the foster kids that they were providing love and stability to will now have the usual foster child lifestyle of going from home to home, often to foster parents who cannot handle them because of the state restrictions imposed on them and to “parents” who are only in it for the money and thereby neglect and abuse them. But ultimately, why is this a surprise? The ACLU is a Satanic organization, and Satan comes but to kill, steal, and the destroy, and especially likes destroying children, even the unborn. The real problem is that Christian ministries like these have not done enough to make themselves IMMUNE to the attacks of the enemy that will inevitably come, and will only increase in the last days as the combination of Yeshua HaMashiach’s glorious return will make Satan even more angry and desperate, and the increasing evil in the world and the weakening of the church makes him become even more bold and depraved. Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children is clearly a victim of Christian persecution, but does not the Bible say that the forces of evil will persecute the saints?

By their own admission, if the ACLU gets their way, this fine ministry will have to repay the state millions of dollars that it never should have accepted in the first place, and that will force them to close their doors. Now, of all these megarich megapreachers and Christian broadcasters who have millions, hundreds of millions, and in some cases BILLIONS of dollars in their bank accounts and at their fingertips, would any of them write a check to keep this place open? Well, if that were the case, these people wouldn’t have needed to be taking money from the beast (the government, which is to be part of the beast, read Revelation and Daniel!) in the first place.

Tom DeLay had many problems, but one of the (few) good things that he did was to start a Christian foster home that would decline money from the state. Churches and ministries need to follow suit, and quickly. The big churches and ministries need to start by reorganizing so that they are no longer tax – exempt; perhaps even petitioning Congress to create a low tax category for churches and foundation that are nonprofit but do not wish to abide by the regulations that they are certainly going to start imposing on nonprofits very shortly (i.e. “having to be in compliance with the civil rights act”). The smaller churches, especially the ones who already have part – time pastors for whom ministry is not their primary means of support, need to start converting to home churches. People, the battle is already on, and the enemy is getting ever emboldened. What Christians need to do is recognize the war and start fighting it. Christians in Muslim and Marxist nations already do this, so did the early church back when they were being persecuted by the Jews and Romans. Are we better than them?

Father YHVH in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach, please lead your pastors and children to seek You for guidance concerning the future of their churches and ministries. Please may they realize that they are going to have to shortly change their operations in order to prevent being ensnared by the beast system; that they will not become complacent and be devoured by the spirit of strong delusion that will come into the land, along with it the false belief that it will be OK to change and compromise to accommodate the beast. May those who truly love You and are willing to sacrifice and face persecution to obey You and spread the true gospel of Your Son’s Resurrection and Deity stand up and do so. In the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach, amen.
