If Evolution Is True ...

The more I do research and just logical thinking, the more outright insane evolution becomes. Evoultionists seem to think that everything we see today somehow evolved from pond scum. They fail to be able to explain where even the scum came from. Something had to exist for what we see to exist.

As we look at the universe, we see the absolute impossibility for it to have come into existence by a Big Bang. Huxley claims that it happened by a hydrogen explosion. Hydrogen is a GAS. How can a gas form planets and put them in a spiral configuration. Just in our local galaxie, we have approximately, I say approximately since man has yet to count them all, two hundred billion, with a B, stars. The size of canus majoris staggers the mind as we study its size.
 
How did the terms of 'science' come to be? Sun, moon, orion, pleades, tree, sky, water, plants, animals, birds and this list goes on and on. All these terms came from the book of Genesis. When God created everything we see, He used these terms to describe what they were. Science did not establish their names.

The ACLU is on a push to do away with every Christian symbol on public property. This is a task too big for even this Communist organization. What will they do with the thousands of cities that are named from Christianity. Sacramento comes from the sacrament of communion. San Antonio comes from Saint Antonio. You get my drift don't you? No matter how much mankind tries to push God out of His universe, the more it becomes impossible. He owns everything and will not give it to those who deny His existence. He calls those who do this, fools. To deny what is obvious is to be a fool. There is not ONE missing link in existence today. There have been many man made ones but ALL have been proven fakes. If Christianity tried to 'fake' the hard evidence for its doctrines, it would be a laughing stock. In fact there is hard evidence for all it teaches. But, evolution has NO solid evidence on which to base its claims yet it is held on to tenaciously by atheists who refuse to acknowledge the loving God who made them and allowed them to live and prosper on His planet.

Most people who believe this myth have never done the hard research for themselves, they have merely taken school textbooks and dishonest professors to be truthful. THEY ARE NOT! There are still examples being used in textbooks and lectures that have long ago been proven to be fakes. Where is the intellectual integrity in this. No one else is allowed to lie and get away with it. Maybe it is time to take this on as our number one task. The new movie, Expelled, will soon be in theatres all across America. If you are a serious truth seeker, I dare you to go and see it. Then I dare you to refute the hard evidence presented. Stop throwning insults and do the hard work of research for yourself. Why would so many so called scientists actually present a fake fossil as evidence? It is because they have NO real ones!

Sexualizing Children For Sexual Preditors To Use

I make it a habit to read through the entire Bible about three times a year and on the newest trip through, it struck me that when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and their eyes were opened to the evil that Satan wanted them to know about. Satan HATES innocence and his goal is to spoil it as soon as he can.  I did an intense study of the Hebrew here and discovered that the transition from innocence to sinfulness was in the eyes. Here is the text I reference. PS The word pornography comes from the Greek word porneia which is translated 'evil.' This whole push of perversion is evil to the core! Evil destroys those who embrace it, always! Note the sequence of events.

"The serpent said to the woman, 'You surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' When the woman 1. saw that the tree was good for food, and 2. that it was a delight to the eyes, and 3. that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings."  Genesis 3:4-7  (The 'and' shows a progression of events.)

Innocence was gone for as long as mankind would live on the earth. The whole story of Satan was a huge lie and is still being told to billions of souls every day. They did not gain wisdom and they did not become like gods but sin entered the human race and it brought a curse on everything and every future life of their children. She and her husband bought the lie and it cost them everything. They were removed from Paradise and made to dig their living from the earth, as man still does today. They also ran into the bushes to hide from God. God still came seeking them so that He could tell them of His ultimate plan for redeeming them back to Himself, the death of His son on the cross.

Let me try to make this simple. Innocence, in our children, is a precious thing and it can be taken away in a moment of time. Even what they see on TV can easily end their innocence. Babies and young children could care less if they are naked or clothed. They can play just as enthusiastically either way. When children get older they become aware of the need to cover up their bodies as they go to school etc... .

Dr. James Dobson has made the statement that children have a so-called switch in their brains that turns on when they are exposed to sexual stimulation and once it is on, it cannot ever be turned off again.

With Adam and Eve, the transition from innocence also came by outside stimulus. Satan tempted them by accusing God of holding out on them by forbidding the eating of fruit of that forbidden tree. God was protecting them from evil. The tree was a test of whether mankind would trust God or follow the temptations of Satan. The moment that they ate the fruit, which was the first sin of disobedience, there was also a switch that was turned on and that switch would be passed down to all future generations of their offspring. That switch opened their minds to the world of evil. Man has since been born with what the Bible calls an old sin nature. Babies are unaware of the evil side of their world until they perceive it through the senses. What the pedophiles are seeking to do is to turn this switch on in Kindergarten and continue to stimulate these precious children by teaching them about every form of sexual perversion. To pervert something is to twist the original meaning. Satan is a master at this.

How long will parents send their children to government schools that seek to sexualize their kids at a very early age? These are your precious children. Will you stand by and let them teach them about homosexuality, condoms, perverse ways of having sexual intercourse and every other form of sexual perversion? When will parents say, "It is time for this to stop?" Children are not sex toys for people who see sex with them as a flaming goal of theirs. Homosexuals and heterosexuals are exploiting children in schools daily and most get away with it because the victims of abuse are usually threatened with threats of violence if they tell anyone.

What a bunch of sickos these people are who see little innocent children as targets for their perverted sexual behaviors. Our founding fathers would turn over in their graves to see us just stand by and let these people work around innocent children. All I can do is write to rational and reasonable American families about this. I have been privileged to have my children brought up in Christian schools from pre-school. Many of you might consider homeschooling or private school for your children before it is too late. Check any school and any teacher out thoroughly. Ask for the background checks, which are required by law, on all employees who work around children. Be tenacious about protecting the innocence of your children. Don't let anyone turn the sexual awareness switch on in their minds until God says that it is time. He created a time line for all of us and He means for that time line to never be manipulated by evil people. Train your children about this issue. If someone touches them in an inappropriate way, tell them to let you know, no matter what threats are made. Anyone who touches children inappropriately should be locked away in jail away from normal society. When will we stop being controlled by Political Correctness? It rarely lines up with Biblical Correctness.

Why The Land Of Israel Belongs To The Jews

Land grants are recorded for posterity on all properties given to another party. The most ancient documents of all are found in the book of Genesis. Take a look at the absolute promise to Abraham, by Almighty God. If you know of any that predate Genesis then please let me know.

"The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, 'Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered. Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you."  Genesis 13:14-17

"On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, 'To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates ..."  Genesis 15:18

"I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God." Genesis 17:7-8

Almighty God made a covenant with Abraham and gave him all the land of Canaan. This is the oldest record of title to this particular spot that we have. Israel is later instructed to leave the land of Ishmael alone and for Ismael's people to leave Israel's land along. All we have to do is to look at how much land mass is possessed by Ishmael's people today and compare it to the small spot that Israel possesses. If Israel had not rebelled against God, they would never have left the land and there would be no question as to whom it belongs to. God would have protected His people as He does Israel today. The name Palestine was given by the emperor Hadrian as an last insult to the Jews. This is an historical fact. Note the following report on Zola Levitt's web site and I encourage you to read the whole story.

During the last few centuries, the world, Christians included, has fallen into a bad habit. We have bought into some early Roman propaganda. We have used the name Palestine, which Roman Emperor Hadrian placed on the country of Israel in 135 A.D., for so long that it has become common usage. This would be as incorrect as calling the Russia of today the “Soviet Union” or referring to Berlin as “East Germany.” The thoughts below by our ministry’s senior theologian, Dr. Thomas S. McCall, completely explore the subject. If you know somebody who’s fallen into this habit, please share this article with them.

There you have it. Israel has every right not only to the boundaries of today; they also have the rights as called out on the deed which was given to them by the Owner, God.

For Every Kick There Is A Kickback

The choices we make can end up with diverse consequences to our future health. It is determined that 1,200 people die each day from smoking related diseases. It has also been determined that people in the lower income bracked smoke three times as much as the upper income folks. I have been with people who are dying of lung diseases and it is one of the most awful ways to die. One woman, though she was unconscious, would have her body writhe up out of the bed in horrific pain. It seems that many choose to play Russian Roulette with their health. I figure that we all have a set number of days that we will live and we choose how the last years will be spent, in pain or in health. There are enough 'other' diseases that can mess us up without self-destructive choices and lifestyles. 
 
I just read in Consumer Reports that there has been a study that links infertility in males to taking Viagra. I guess sexual performance is to be chosen over reproduction. Infertility brings very intense emotional pain. Having an abortion has been proven to often alter a woman's chances of becoming pregnant when she wants to and the link to breast cancer is very real. Breast implants have had a horrible history of causing cancer. Everything we put into our bodies has some effect on our bodies. Using illegal drugs, sniffing glue or other toxic substances, over the edge sports, risky sexual behavior, eating fatty foods, drinking alcohol and many other negative choices have real links to the destruction of our bodies. I have seen people who are living an immoral lifestyle age ten years in a single year. I guess you could say that for every kick there is a kickback. I have seen people dying from STD's and they literally waste away to skin and bones before death takes their lives.
 
God has warned mankind since creation of the consequences of disobeying His commandments. We always do it to our own peril. Why not choose right now to stop the downward direction of your life and seek the healing and forgiveness that only God can give. Try grabbing a Bible and begin reading in the Book of Proverbs or in the New Testament, the Gospel of John and Romans. You will be shocked, as I was shocked, when you read your very life in these pages. Then just follow the directions and you will discover, as I did, a brand new beginning and pathway to real life.

Pastor Jeremiah Wright Is Wrong!

All the information that has been revealed about Pastor Wright and his church all runs contrary to what the Bible teaches. It does not teach us to hate anyone; black, white, yellow, brown or red. God made all mankind and there are none better or worse than the rest of us.
 
Here are the marching orders for Jesus' church.
 
"You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, and hate your enemies.' BUT I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in ourder that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax gatherers do same? And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your Father is perfect."  Matthew 5:43-48 "

"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And He said unto them, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."  Matthew 22:36-40

In other words, these two commandments represent all the rest of Scripture. There is no place for hatred within the Christian's heart or his church. Jesus commanded His followers to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. My neighbor is anyone who is near my border, as the old English word depicts. Neighbor came from neigh bor or near your border. That leaves no room for spewing hate toward others.
 
The biggest attack on Christians comes in the hatred that is aimed at them because they live according to the Bible and speak the truth to those who do not want to hear it. It is very convicting to be living a sinful lifestyle and to be around someone who lives with self-control and is a good example of a moral, loving and honest person.
 
So, in order for Rev. Wright to be right, he, along with all who profess to love Jesus Christ, MUST OBEY these commandments from the boss.
 
PS: Jesus was not black or white. He was brown and a total Jew. If you see a Jew, especially in the Middle East, this is what he looked like.
 
Blessings, Ikester

Chelsea Clinton On Politics: You Have To Be Kidding

I just read the post on Chelsea Clinton's barb thrown at President Bush. She says the country will breathe a sigh of relief when he leaves office. She must be confused on this. It was eight years ago when the country breathed a sigh of relief when her father and mother left office. She also commented that her mother would restore our good name around the world. Again, we must look at the facts. Our good name is stronger around the world than it has been in many years. The world respects what we and our allies have accomplished in putting terrorists out of business, something her father failed to do and I am sure her mother would follow in her husband's footsteps. Chelsea has been protected from the public scrutiny for many years now but if she wants to GO PUBLIC, then she is opening herself up for a no holds barred assault on her. She is certainly no expert on our government. She is merely the daughter of the Clintons. I can only hope that conservatives will stick to the facts and avoid childish slurs. Rush Limbaugh used to be my favorite talk host until he went into the crass language and constant making fun of people. That is what the liberals do. Should conservatives act as stupidly as they do or should we show reserve?

History Channel: Truth or Fiction?

I used to enjoy the History Channel when it actually did the research on documentaries that they presented. I have seen some of their latest offerings and they are pathetic. The latest one that I have seen is, "The Vietnam War," which was released last year. I am a history buff and have done much research on this war that goes against the drivel of this latest 'revisionist' version of the events of the war. I have a vested interest in this war as I was in the Air Force during this time, working as a jet fighter crew chief, and I am proud to have served this great nation in this way.

This production skips the whole early history of the war and dips in with the full involvement of America in the war under Lyndon Johnson. His administration caused the deaths of thousands of our soldiers through his blundering choices and his not allowing the generals to call the shots at the front. The program avoided all blame on the presidents who got us into the war, but chose to parade out a line of men who fought in the war, along with a few journalists who covered the war. I found it interesting that the majority of these men were from the eastern seaboard states, known for their liberal politics. The program was a weep fest and every attempt was made to dishonor America itself for the war. I got so nauseated that I had to turn it off out of disgust. The part that was left out sought to avoid the question of why there was a conflict in the first place.

After WWII, the French, who had previously dominated the people of French Indochina, wanted to reclaim this domination that they gave up during WWII, so they went back to take up where they had left off with their Imperialism. The people resisted them with all they had and so the conflict escalated. How would the French people like it if the Vietnamese people had attacked their homeland and wanted to dominate them? Man's ego doesn't allow this kind of clear thinking, it only seeks glory. Wars are usually started by egotistical tyrants whose egos are out to be satisfied by dominating other people. This is why the Vietnam War began.

The French found themselves in over their heads and cried out to America to help them reclaim their dominance. This is where America made its biggest mistake. We should have turned them down, but we did not. My boyhood neighbor was one of the first troopers to enter this mess. He was there in the 50's.

58,000 American soldiers lie in their graves today because of this choice that was made by politicians, many were personal friends of mine. Thousands of others were treated like dogs on their return. A friend of mine had his lower leg blown off by a mortar shell and was sent home. Upon his arrival at the airport, the war protesters spit on this brave soldier. This is typical of war protesters; they just sit on their brains and let emotion dominate their thinking.

Vietnam did not attack us; we got involved in support of our ally, France. It is interesting that in the War on Terror, France refused to help us fight a real enemy, terrorists. It turned out that the leadership of France had their hands in the "Oil for food" kitty, up to their noses along with the UN president and his son. They had made a deal with Middle Eastern interests and therefore refused to fight against them.

Hindsight is usually 20/20, and if we had it to do over again, we should have also refused to get involved with their egotistical war. Wisdom says that we should think before we move. It seems that our leaders chose to engage and then think. Getting out of the war cost multiplied thousands of lives in South Vietnam.

PS: the War on Terror is a just war and President Bush and our military have done a superb job of executing it in spite of the constant whining by liberal politicians. We are already winning this war and we must stay the course. The freedom of millions of Iraqis depends on a successful outcome. I am of the opinion that many of our liberal congresspersons should be tried for treason concerning their comments and actions on this war. If we had fought WWII like this, we would be speaking German and Japanese.

How Long Will Americans Just Sit And Do Nothing?

It never ceases to amaze me at what the liberal media is able to force feed on the American public. They are in lock step like a bunch of goose stepping Nazi soldiers as they keep the lies flowing into American living rooms across America and around the world.

Albert Gore is out in la la land and yet keeping the lies alive is far more important to this bunch of outright liars than really dealing with important issues that do really matter to Americans. It also never ceases to amaze me to actually speak to people that have swallowed these lies hook, line, sinker and pole. When this happens I just have to pause momentarily and choose to speak kindly to one so uninformed about reality. When will Americans turn these talking heads off and go on a truth search for themselves? I guess that doing a little research for the truth is just too much work for their brains to handle.

From Russian scientists to hundreds of American ones, this global warming 'evidence' has been proven to be totally bogus! It is like the die hard evolutionary cult that refuses to look at the solid evidence against their holy grail of lies and concocted 'missing links.' So far, Al Gore has banked at least thirty-five million dollars by pushing this stuff. I guess the next big money maker will be Opra Winfre with her new cult money making scheme called A Course In Miracles which she is deceiving the public with as I write. I wonder if this is all a case of the failure of government schools or just plain stupidity.

I write this very passionately as I am deeply troubled at the downward trajectory of this great and free nation. Won't someone out there give heed to my heart cry? Will we let the cry for an emergency response just be drowned out by the roar of the NFL, NBA, MSNBC, sit coms, mindless programming and all other drivel? Will we let the insanity of California's legislature and its 'gov'enor' set the pace for the rest of us?

Another Attempt To Communicate With The Noncommunicative

Comment on: To Make The Truth Known

Why The Land Of Israel Belongs To The Jews

Meaningless

Using the bible as some sort of authority for a deed is ludicrous on the face of it.

Please do learn how to support property ownership.

This was the comment left like a baby on a stranger's door step. Again I find a comment without means of recourse. Why don't you just open up your blog address for replies? Talk about not defending your positions. It is so cowardly to just take pot shots at others. Come out in the open and defend your comments.

Let me remind you that if you do not accept the Bible as the Word of God, it is certainly the most ancient and reliable record of transactions we have. It is certainly authoritative in settling the question of who has the right to the land of Israel. Maybe your reasonings are the ludicrous ones. Please open up your blog to dialogue so that this can be handled with honesty and integrity. If you know anything of history you also know that the history of the land of Israel is also recorded outside the Bible. I hasten to add that the Bible is IN FACT a record that has never been proven inaccurate.

The Source Of Prejudice

Isn't it interesting to watch our reactions to T shirts? If we see a Mexican person wearing a Mexico City T shirt, there is a tendency to say, "Then go there if you love it so much!" But if you see a non-Mexican person wearing the same shirt we say, "They must have been to Mexico City." Now if we see that same Mexican wearing a shirt that says, "Paris," our reaction is quite different and we assume that they are an international traveler. The same goes for any ethnicity and T shirts that reflect the same scenario.

Why do we think and act in such a way? It is called prejudice. This word breaks down to pre-judge, or to judge previously. In other words we tend to judge people on the first impression rather than really getting to know them.

So, what is behind prejudice? All human beings are guilty of it sometime and many all the time. To judge a person according to their skin color is the ultimate in prejudice. Blacks judge whites, whites judge blacks, brown, yellow, red, it goes on all the time. The root cause is inferiority within the one judging others. My inferior feelings have a direct bearing on whether I judge other people at first blush or whether I make up my mind after I have gathered enough evidence to do so. If I can elevate myself by putting another person down, I have a built in prejudice to do this. It is not just skin color that is the issue. Position, possessions, power, wealth, fame, the car I drive, the house I live in and the list could go on and on. A movie actor or actress is where we see this lived out most prominently. The attitude of superiority among this group can be cut with a knife. The attitude is, "Worship me for the awesome person that I am." Say what? Very few movie 'stars' ever really accomplish anything in life. They spend their whole careers acting out parts of people who DID do something great. They become famous for acting out what real heroes did in the past. What is there to be superior about in all this? When anyone thinks himself or herself superior to anyone else, they are demonstrating prejudice. In reality, no one is superior to anyone else; we are all the same in the eyes of our Creator. Note the following verses from the Bible on this.

"My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, 'You sit here in a good place,' and you say to the poor man, 'You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,' have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives? Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called? If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,' you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors."  James 2:1-9

This is what happens with anyone who preaches or practices hate. Yet, hate speech laws are useless as they will never deal with the source of the problem. The only hope that mankind has is to have a change of heart and this can only be done by turning our broken lives over to God who alone can fix us. Once a person becomes a Christian, the source of desires is transformed. The true Christian now has one goal, to always please the God who transformed his/her life and to walk in obedience to all His commands. Many people go through the motions of giving their heart to God but in reality they are seeking to buy fire insurance against judgment day. It won't work! God is not in the fire insurance business! He is in the transformation of the heart ministry. Jesus Christ is the only one who can change a hate filled, vile, vicious, violent, lying, murdering, prejudiced heart and make it loving, kind, merciful heart. Note the drastic contrast between the flesh and Spirit of God.

"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of GodBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another."  Galatians 5:16-26

Well, this needs no more commentary, it makes perfect sense all by itself. God desires to touch the hearts of mankind, if we will LET Him.

Bible Prophesy Fulfilled Right Before Our Eyes

As I read many blogs, and some responses to some of my blogs, I am blown away at the mindless hatred and slander that comes from folks who use this site to spew their poison. Nothing is sacred to them and as I examine the source I see Bible prophesy fulfilled right before my eyes. Satan himself is the source of this stuff. It is amazing how these folks can read other people's minds, at least they think that they can. True Christians and Christianity seem to be their main target. From The Jesus Seminar to the History Channel to mainline television to Opra Winfrey's cult, they all have one goal. To distort the Word of God and make people think that they are telling the truth. There is no truth in these folks. Their words demonstrate that they are not remotely Christians but are people who use this site and other media to try and cause division between Christian groups. The following scriptures demonstrate my statement about Bible prophesy.

"And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."  Romans 1:28-32

"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these."  2 Timothy 3:1-5

Folks, the signs of the end times are all around us and if we don't stop and see it for ourselves we will fall right into lock step with it as did the German people with Adolph Hitler in WWII. There has never been a more critical time in modern history for people to read and know the Bible. These perilous times are fast approaching and only the wise will discern good from evil and will be able to stand firm in the face of the greatest deception in history. Knowing the truth is the only way we can deal with slanderers and God haters on the web as well as in daily life. Lies have never before been so wide spread. Take heed lest you fall prey to lies as did Adam and Eve and mankind throughout history. The truth will make you and I free IF we know it and apply it to every situation we face. May God give us wisdom to follow through on this.

Refusing To Give Up The True Meaning Of Christian Holidays

Christians are being robbed more and more of the holidays and symbols that are held dear to all of us. Christmas has pushed Jesus' birth off to the side for years with an omnipotent, omnipresent Santa Claus who can be in all places on just one night and knows the thoughts and deeds of every child in the world, well really only those where toys and goodies are sold. All the gift giving is obscuring the truth that God gave the ultimate gift on Jesus birthday, His Son. He was born to die for the sins of the whole world and did so on what is called Easter.
Easter as also been pushed aside for rabbits and eggs. Easter is not even the name of the holiday, (holy day) but Resurrection Sunday is. This holy day is all about the end of Jesus' walk to the cross. Most folks forget that it was not just a physical death that took place. Jesus actually took the punishment due to all mankind upon Himself by being judged by the Father for our sins. When He cried out, "It is finished," in John 19:30, the sins of the world had been paid for and left mankind only one sin that He did not die for, the sin of unbelief, as found in John 16:8-11. Note that "sin" here is singular and deals with the one sin that mankind has to deal with on his own. God made a way to be forgiven for our sin that separates us from God, His forgiveness and love. It is like having a water faucet that has ample water available to satisfy man's thirst and yet he must turn the knob and let the water flow. The world is full of spiritually thirsty people but they CHOOSE to ignore the fresh water that God offers and substitute man made, dry substitutes that can never satisfy that spiritual craving. Mankind is helplessly religious and will find something to worship. It may be a stone idol, money, sex, power, material stuff or self, as Opra Winfrey is offering to the world. She is teaching that you are already god so why seek another one. The Bible clearly tells us that man will seek as a blind man and hopefully he will put his hand on the one knob that will finally provide the water that satisfies man's cravings at the deepest level.
This Resurrection Sunday holds all the answers to your search for meaning and purpose in life. The book of John's Gospel will give you the answers that you have searched for all your life. The ultimate verse there is John 3:16. You remember it from childhood. "

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."  John 3:16

But other verses must follow for those who thumb their noses in God's face and His offer of forgiveness. Can you imagine allowing your son to die for sinners and then they turn on their heel and refuse his ultimate gift? On top of this, using his name as a curse word. Would you get ticked off? This is why God has set a day that He will judge all who did just this to His Son.

"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil."  John 3:19

God gives man a word of warning about following liars, those who distort the Bible's clear teachings. Note the following.

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."  1 John 4:1

In other words, don't swallow everything you hear on TV, radio, in print or from people. Religious cults, false religions and atheistic attackers are everywhere today and it will only worsen as we come to the return of Jesus. Check everything you now believe or what you hear or read by the Bible. This book of sixty-six books has NEVER been proven wrong in any way. It is the only reliable source of truth known to man. That is not hype, this is a settled fact. Countless books have been written listing the HARD EVIDENCE for everything that it teaches. Beware of any religion that says that it has books that replace the Bible or ADD to it. God warns anyone who adds to His word of the horrific consequences of doing such. Go to the source and you will find it totally reliable as I have.

Sexualizing Children For Pedaphyles' Exploitation

I make it a habit to read through the entire Bible about three times a year and on the newest trip through, it struck me that when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and their eyes were opened to the evil that Satan wanted them to know about. Satan HATES innocence and his goal is to spoil it as soon as he can.  I did an intense study of the Hebrew here and discovered that the transition from innocence to sinfulness was in the eyes. Here is the text I reference. PS The word pornography comes from the Greek word porneia which is translated 'evil.' This whole push of perversion is evil to the core! Evil destroys those who embrace it, always! Note the sequence of events.

"The serpent said to the woman, 'You surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' When the woman 1. saw that the tree was good for food, and 2. that it was a delight to the eyes, and 3. that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings."  Genesis 3:4-7  (The 'and' shows a progression of events.)

Innocence was gone for as long as mankind would live on the earth. The whole story of Satan was a huge lie and is still being told to billions of souls every day. They did not gain wisdom and they did not become like gods but sin entered the human race and it brought a curse on everything and every future life of their children. She and her husband bought the lie and it cost them everything. They were removed from Paradise and made to dig their living from the earth, as man still does today. They also ran into the bushes to hide from God. God still came seeking them so that He could tell them of His ultimate plan for redeeming them back to Himself, the death of His son on the cross.

Let me try to make this simple. Innocence, in our children, is a precious thing and it can be taken away in a moment of time. Even what they see on TV can easily end their innocence. Babies and young children could care less if they are naked or clothed. They can play just as enthusiastically either way. When children get older they become aware of the need to cover up their bodies as they go to school etc... .

Dr. James Dobson has made the statement that children have a so-called switch in their brains that turns on when they are exposed to sexual stimulation and once it is on, it cannot ever be turned off again.

With Adam and Eve, the transition from innocence also came by outside stimulus. Satan tempted them by accusing God of holding out on them by forbidding the eating of fruit of that forbidden tree. God was protecting them from evil. The tree was a test of whether mankind would trust God or follow the temptations of Satan. The moment that they ate the fruit, which was the first sin of disobedience, there was also a switch that was turned on and that switch would be passed down to all future generations of their offspring. That switch opened their minds to the world of evil. Man has since been born with what the Bible calls an old sin nature. Babies are unaware of the evil side of their world until they perceive it through the senses. What the pedophiles are seeking to do is to turn this switch on in Kindergarten and continue to stimulate these precious children by teaching them about every form of sexual perversion. To pervert something is to twist the original meaning. Satan is a master at this.

How long will parents send their children to government schools that seek to sexualize their kids at a very early age? These are your precious children. Will you stand by and let them teach them about homosexuality, condoms, perverse ways of having sexual intercourse and every other form of sexual perversion? When will parents say, "It is time for this to stop?" Children are not sex toys for people who see sex with them as a flaming goal of theirs. Homosexuals and heterosexuals are exploiting children in schools daily and most get away with it because the victims of abuse are usually threatened with threats of violence if they tell anyone.

What a bunch of sickos these people are who see little innocent children as targets for their perverted sexual behaviors. Our founding fathers would turn over in their graves to see us just stand by and let these people work around innocent children. All I can do is write to rational and reasonable American families about this. I have been privileged to have my children brought up in Christian schools from pre-school. Many of you might consider homeschooling or private school for your children before it is too late. Check any school and any teacher out thoroughly. Ask for the background checks, which are required by law, on all employees who work around children. Be tenacious about protecting the innocence of your children. Don't let anyone turn the sexual awareness switch on in their minds until God says that it is time. He created a time line for all of us and He means for that time line to never be manipulated by evil people. Train your children about this issue. If someone touches them in an inappropriate way, tell them to let you know, no matter what threats are made. Anyone who touches children inappropriately should be locked away in jail away from normal society. When will we stop being controlled by Political Correctness? It rarely lines up with Biblical Correctness.

Politics And God

Well folks, I just heard parts of the ultimate hype speech and the reactions to it. "This speech will go down in history as another 'I Have A Dream' speech.”This is the greatest speech since Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech." This is obviously a scheme cooked up by Obama's handlers to try and take the focus off his problems.

For a speech that was nothing more than an attempt to distance himself from the fallout of multiple explosions, and especially trying to get away from his twenty year pastor, it missed the mark badly. I would say that comparing Obama's speech to Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech would be a huge oxymoron. What do the two have in common? What we are seeing and hearing from Obama and Clinton is a desperate attempt to defeat each other. I feel that Mr. Obama is digging a hole that he may not be able to climb out of. He would be better served to just honestly admit that his associations and positions where bad choices. He has sat and listened to his pastor's rhetoric for twenty years, why would he bail out now? I hope that some sharp researcher will go back and review the pastor's previous sermons and see if the GD America is just more of the same old thing.

My biggest problem with Obama is the fact that he is politically left of Ted Kennedy. That is out in the bushes! How can candidates claim to be Christians and boldly support the slaughter of innocent babies in the womb or on a table in an abortionist's slaughter house? "You shall not commit homicide" Exodus 20:13 (The murder of innocent people) How can they support the gay agenda when the God they say that they love and follow clearly says that it is an abomination to Him?

'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."  Leviticus 18:22

To support the gay agenda is helping those in the lifestyle to die painful deaths and shortened lives. But most politicians don't hold the hand of dying men and women, do they? My concern on both these issues is the grief I feel when I see any life cut short or living in misery. The truth about gays/homosexuals is very different from what the radical gays push in the media. A very high rate of homicide, violence, frustration, lack of sexual fulfillment and many other painful issues are part of this unnatural behavior. Unnatural since it cannot produce children. God sees it as an abomination because it totally perverts His plan for health, life and happiness of the human race. The means of sexual intercourse among gays, you know what I mean, should tell us why these problems exist. There is absolutely no means of real sexual fulfillment for two men or two women together. God loves all human beings and it angers Him to see His perfect plan so distorted. In Christian ministries that deal with gays who have AIDS, 80% of these folks become Christians when told of God's love and forgiveness. Christians love people, no matter who they are. God longs for all His creation to turn away from their self-destructive, rebellious ways and come into His mercy, grace and forgiveness. This is the whole purpose for Easter. The Son of God gave His very life to set men free from slavery to sin. Sin is rebellion against what God created man to be. His greatest desire is for all mankind to give up his rebellion and return to the one who created him or her. What we see on the left, politically, is an obvious picture of man's open rebellion against God. Lies, immorality, pornography, abuse of young men and women who are there to learn about governemnt, using the Bible and God to deceive folks into believing that they are Christians are just a few of visible expressions of the attitude, "I will do as I please and nobody is going to tell me how to live or what to do." This is like a child who flat out tells his or her parents, "You can't make me do it!" A Christian walks his/her talk. If we don't, it is a good sign that we are just calling ourselves a Christian. Obedience to God is the proof of the pudding, so to speak. Man often gets on his high horse and imagines that he can thumb his nose in the face of the Creator. No man or woman can or will get away with this. There is after all a payday after we die and all people will face God without any means of excuse giving.

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Romans 1:20

Do you see the seriousness of this stuff? We can't afford an extreme liberal in the White House or in congress. They are not living according to God's purposes but by their own twisted agendas. California's liberals are prime examples of this. They are destroying that great state by the day.

We simply must defeat either of these two candidates. They have demonstrated that the will of the people and their refusal to honor God makes their agendas transparent to all. Both liberal candidates have personal agendas that are nothing more than Socialism. God never intended anyone to live in slavery to another person. Socialism enslaves people and puts them totally at the mercy of evil rulers. American soldiers are buried all over the world and stand as a symbol of the sacrifice, freely given, to keep this great nation 'the land of the free and the home of the brave." Let's see to it that it continues for future generations by voting for candidates who represent biblical values. You have the power in your hands to elect the godly or the ungodly. Will you honor God or your own agenda?
