Little Town Bullied Out of Prayer

The City Council of Tehachapi, California has become another victim of bullying by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

In keeping with their customary practice, the Tehachapi city council invited local clergy to open up its meetings with prayer. But the Freedom from Religion Foundation has threatened to sue because some prayers have been offered in Jesus’ name.

This bullying tactic is regularly used to intimidate small cities into eliminating all signs of religious expression because of the high cost of defending their rights.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that it is Constitutional to begin meetings with prayer. But to avoid a costly battle, the Tehachapi council decided they would say the Pledge of Allegiance instead.

TAKE ACTION:

Contact the Tehachapi City Council today and encourage them to stand up for their Constitutional rights! Tell them to pray and say the pledge!

Christians Persecuted in Pakistan

from VOM

 

In our day as a general rule Christians do not go around burning Mosques, but apparently Muslims do:

“It took more than five hours for emergency personnel to reach the mob scene. By that time, eight Christians were dead, 100 Christian homes and one church building were burned. Christians had to use vegetable carts to transport dead and wounded family members to the hospital. All this death and destruction occurred because of a rumor — a Christian had torn the pages of the Quran. It was a rumor later proven false.”

Outside of the crusades I am unaware of any instances of a Christian mob or riot that resulted in the burning of a mob. As for the crusades they were instigated by the pope and are not representative of the historical thinking of all Christians. So do not go and place us together in the same box. The Bible is being abused and destroyed in our day, but you do not see Christians burning buildings or killing people over it. There is much more to be gained by peacefully protesting abuses then there is by a mob mentality.

Apparently Muslims have a problem with humility or the whole concept of being humble. They seem to equate humility with humiliation. When we as Christians exhibit humility they view it as a weakness.

“As a result, Islam looks upon people who are genuinely humble as being weak. Which brings up an interesting Catch-22 when dealing with the Muslim world today: if the West portrays itself as humble, it indicates weakness and that it is ripe for attack; if the West portrays itself as strong, it is perceived as humiliating Muslims and therefore it must be attacked.” (see Elder of Ziyon)

Maybe it is this characteristic of Christ in the gospels that so irritates the Muslim. Remember the world has hated Christ long before it hated us.

Who is the Only true God?

Referring to the creator He is named as Jehovah

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
(Gen 2:4 KJV)

The Word being God made all things and since A above says that Jehovah made the earth and heavens and the following verse says that B all things were made by the word it follows that the Word is Jehovah.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(Joh 1:1-3 KJV)

Since the Word became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, then He is also Jehovah

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
(Joh 1:14 KJV)

Since Jehovah is the self existent and only God and Jesus Christ is Jehovah, then He must be self existent. The Lord Jesus created this world that we now live in and it is to Him we must look to worship and obey. The meaning of I am here is not merely pre existent, but self existent from all eternity. He always has been and always will be. He is not the Jesus that the Muslim tries to refer to, but He is above all and over all of creation.

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
(Joh 8:58 KJV)

       HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.  WHAT AN EMPTY HEADED PERSON HE MUST BE….
       Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty.
       The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.
       "Look, it’s an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war.  They had to have known and accepted the risks.
       Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn’t compute.."
       "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, "Obama continued. "I wasn’t asking for
       blood, just money.
       With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I’d have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation’s deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."
       Please pass this on to every one including every vet and their families whom you know.
       How in the world did a person with this mindset become our leader?  I didn’t vote for him!!!
       REMEMBER HIS STATEMENT… "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks.  Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?
       If this ASS thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service he ought to think it over. If you or a family member is or has served their country please pass this to them.
       Please pass this to everyone.  I’m guessing that other than the 20-25 percent hard core liberals in the US will agree that this is just another example why this is the worst president in American history.
       Remind everyone over and over how this man thinks, while he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.

Dear Thomas,
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the relentless and scandalous attacks on Jesus Christ, the church, and Christians?
Wherever you turn someone is trying to silence Christians, stamp out our freedom of speech, slander the good character of believers like Sarah Palin and her children, or bring violence and murder into our Church sanctuaries.
It would be easy to sit back, keep a low profile, pretend it isn’t happening … and hope no one notices.  But we can’t do that!
That’s why we fought for Child Evangelism Fellowship in Oklahoma. They were told they could not share the gospel with the hurting children in a public housing development in Tulsa, even though they had been doing it for twenty years.
Together, by God’s grace, we were able to cause the public housing authority to reverse course and insure that Child Evangelism Fellowship has access to minister to these kids. Praise the Lord.

The Bible gives us a clear declaration that we are, “appointed for the defense of the gospel.”
In I Peter we read,”…always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you … when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.”
Almost every day we see disparaging remarks made in the media about Bible believing Christians. History tells us that defamation of persons of any religion or ethnic group precedes persecution or even genocide.
We cannot be naïve about the slippery slope of defamation, marginalization, discrimination, and persecution.
That is why I am so thankful for you.  You are a courageous warrior.  You are willing to take a stand against the venomous attacks on Christ, His church, and His servants.
You too are appointed for the defense of the gospel!
Christian bashing is alive and well in America. We see Christians who stand up for marriage are called hateful. We see pro-lifers demonized because they uphold the sanctity of human life. Faithful ministers who stand on the truth of God’s word are insulted as ignorant.
But, we are appointed for the defense of the gospel!
The Holy Spirit is binding our hearts together as we become an irresistible force to combat anti-Christian bigotry wherever it raises its ugly head.
And, our voice is growing. Just within the past few days we finalized a new partnership with the Bott Radio Network to expand the reach of our daily FREEDOM ALERTS to another eighty five radio stations. This makes almost 300 stations that air our daily radio commentary!
Now tens of thousands of Christians across America are being informed about the attacks on Christians that the main stream media refuses to report. We are also mobilizing our listeners to join with us as we defend the faith.
I praise God for using us and expanding our voice…
…for we are appointed for the defense of the gospel!
But, in spite of all these great victories, our voice is in danger of being silenced.  We are dangerously low on the funds we need to operate. We need your support to stay in the fight.

Please, prayerfully consider what you will do to help with this important need.  The enemies of our faith are not backing off.  They’re not taking vacations from their bigotry.  They are busily defaming the name of Christ with every opportunity.  They intend to silence the gospel!
Thank you for your faithful support.  Together we can reclaim America for Christ!
In the name of our Lord,
Dr. Gary L. Cass

The murder of the innocents

The intent now is for pro lifers to sit down with pro choice and have some kind of meaningful dialogue about abortion. This is tantamount to sitting down with a murderer and have some kind of compromise that allows him/her to continue to murder people. I have heard the idea set forward that life begins at the first breath, but unfortunately for those who use this argument it is just plain not true. Life happens to be in the blood:

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
(Leviticus 17:11)

Or does life begin at the first breath:

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
(Genesis 2:7)

This verse is not describing where the principle of life begins, but where the soul of man comes from. Of all the creatures that God made only man has a soul. The heart begins beating very early in an infant humans small body. The presence of a beating heart and the presence of blood testify to the sacredness of human life. It is murder to take the life of a human being, be it at the business end of a gun or at the end of a doctors instruments. What saddens me most is that we are going down a road now that can only lead to judgment from God. Many people in this great land of ours are going to have to stand before God and give an account for their actions.

Obama urges "fair-minded" abortion debate – Alain’s Response

Obama urges “fair-minded” abortion debate – Alain’s Response

I just read the report on the news that in Obama’s speech at Notre Dame he called for a “fair minded” abortion debate. Well I am giving him MY response. Please read the news report, then after it read my response to Obama.

Alain Reuters

SOUTH BEND, Indiana (Reuters) – President Barack Obama urged both sides in the abortion debate on Sunday to pursue a “fair-minded” discussion as he sought to quell a firestorm over his invitation to speak at Notre Dame, a premier U.S. Catholic university.

Notre Dame’s decision to confer an honorary degree on Obama and invite him to be the keynote speaker for the commencement sparked petitions and several days of protests. Some students vowed to boycott the commencement.

But the speech itself drew mostly cheers, applause and standing ovations.

Critics who said Obama’s support for abortion rights violated Catholic Church doctrine had sought to have the invitation rescinded but the university refused.

Interrupted at times by hecklers, Obama said he recognized the strong emotions stirred up by the abortion debate but he urged the two sides to try to find common ground, such as preventing unintended pregnancies.

“I do not suggest that the debate surrounding abortion can or should go away,” Obama said. “Each side will continue to make its case to the public with passion and conviction. But surely we can do so without reducing those with differing views to caricature.”

“Let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions. Let’s reduce unintended pregnancies. Let’s make adoption more available. Let’s provide care and support for women who do carry their child to term,” Obama told the crowd of 12,000 at a huge athletic facility.

His appearance was mostly warmly welcomed by the crowd, which gave him several standing ovations.

SOME HECKLERS

But at a few points during the speech, he was interrupted by hecklers, including one who shouted, “Abortion is murder.” That heckler was booed by the audience.

Some graduates displayed a print of a cross symbol and two baby feet on their caps while others wore caps that said “Viva Obama.”

Outside the commencement, hundreds of protesters gathered and carried signs that said “Notre Dame supports violence” and “Thou shall not kill.”

As Obama spoke, protesters chanted outside the arena entrance: “One, two, three, four. Throw Obama out the door.”

At least 22 protesters were arrested after they walked past a piece of yellow police tape they had been told not to cross, according to police.

Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of the landmark Roe vs. Wade case that legalized abortion, was among the first protesters arrested at Notre Dame. A Catholic convert, McCorvey is now active in the anti-abortion.

Tony Ughetti, of Spring, Texas, said he watched as McCorvey asked the officers, “How do I get arrested?”

Ughetti said that in response to the Notre Dame decision to invite Obama, he got rid of books, T-shirts and other Notre Dame memorabilia in his home.

“We disposed of over 40 Notre Dame items from our house…I wanted to burn them but my wife took them to Goodwill (charity). Our house is now Notre Dame-free,” he said.

A smaller group of those outside were there in support of Obama’s visit. Carrying a sign reading “Welcome President Obama,” Bill Dillon, of South Bend, said he thought Obama was being treated unfairly.

“I don’t think they should call Obama a murderer,” said Dillon, a 1951 graduate in aeronautical engineering.

Catholics are the largest single denomination in the United States, making up nearly a quarter of the population. More than half of the adult population is Protestant but that is split among many denominations.

Many Catholics agreed with the university’s decision to invite Obama to speak at the commencement, according to a poll by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Fifty percent of those in the poll agreed with the university’s invitation to Obama while 28 percent opposed it. The rest were undecided or had no opinion.

Dear President Obama,

You asked for a fair minded Debate on the issue of abortion. Well let me explain my opinion on this matter, which you should also really come to understand is probably also the position of close to half the voting population of the United states.

I received a letter from one of your fellow liberal thinkers a while ago, and I explained the viewpoint of myself, and many others in this country, to him in a simple letter back to him. Perhaps this simple, straight forward explanation is one that you can understand.

One thing I have noticed dramatically since you have come to power, you seem to have forgotten that nearly half of the country does not agree with you on so many things, yet you want to ram down our throats every far far left item from the liberal agenda all at one time.

Here is the letter he wrote to me:

Subject: I don’t fully understand your ideas, could you assist me please?

Before I ask my question I wish to say beforehand, I’m not asking this out of spite or any sort of hateful thoughts. I’m just curious about your stance on abortion, why are you so set in your ways against it when abortion can both control human population (and we are in a population crisis) and has the purposefully hidden consenquinse of lowering crime. but ill not get into that argument, for it isn’t proper conversation.

Please forgive my horrable writing, and please don’t think me a fool for asking. Maybe we can have a civil discusion as time progresses, but for now ill say fare well and thank you for replying.

Jonathan Mxxxxxx

Now President Obama, here is my response. I hope you will read it carefully, and possible try to grasp the simple principles involved here.

Dear Jonathan,

Why am I so against abortion? I am against it because it is murder of an innocent human life, plain and simple.

As for controlling the population and crime, you sound pretty selfish if you can present an argument for destroying the weakest of the human race to better the lives of the others, i.e., yourself.

We could just as easily control population and crime by killing adults, I mean if you follow this argument why place limitations?

Why not kill off all the old people as well. After all they do not produce for society but take from it.

We could also kill the ill and infirm since they are a constant drain on our resources.

We could kill the people with lower IQ’s, I mean only the intelligent should benefit from living right?

Oh, then we must also most definitely kill those who look different or think different. I mean, where would we be if people were not like you, or disagreed with you, and these people were allowed to keep on breathing.

Where do you draw the line??

Once the value of life is removed, the only limitations are those placed by those in control.

A man named Hitler went this route. His reasoning was to control what he saw as overpopulation by those who were detrimental to his view of society.

As for discussion, there is none. I am absolute in my values of innocent life, and there is no argument you or anyone else out there will ever be able to bring to me that will sway my opinion on this.

Especially since almost every single person out there who supports the so-called “Choice” of a woman to kill their children are some of the most self-centered selfish people in our day and age.

They believe in the “do it if it feels good and go on living without any consequence” mentality.

I believe in moral absolutes. Some things are unbending, unchanging. This does not matter whether you agree or disagree it is just simple fact.

Some times there is NO SHADE of GREY, just simple black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. This is one of those things.

Alain

One last thing President Obama, and I hope you really take this to heart. You have so many “changes” on your plate right now, and you have half of the country soundly against you on almost all of these. Here is one simple thought, to HELP you further your many agendas.

Give us THIS ONE.

Outlaw abortion in our great nation. Flat and Simple.

Take a lesson from the Dominican Republic, which in April Passed Bill to Preserve Life.

I soundly believe that if you grant us this, the end of what we see as the incoherent slaughter of our nations young, you will find a true place in history and probably much less resistance to so many of your other radical ideas and “Changes” that you are trying to implement.

Think on this, and thank you for taking the time to listen to this requested response to a “fair minded” abortion debate.
