I think Isaiah 5:20-23 is pertinent in this case:
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right!
- Homeschoolers ordered into public classrooms; Judge: Children need more ‘focus’ despite testing above grade levels
- Take Action
If the claims are true (which there’s no reason to assume otherwise) then this is most definitely an act of injustice – rewarding the criminal while punishing the innocent. At the same time, we shouldn’t be surprised these days.
World Net Daily reports that Obama’s eligibility has topped AOL’s News. It’s incredible how absolutely indifferent people are to issues like this. In the end they wind up missing the point altogether of why the issue is actually a big deal. That President Obama wouldn’t simply provide the proof that they claim exists is baffling and raises some serious red flags. No the case isn’t closed, despite what the reports and blogs claim. It could be, if what Obama claims were provided and true, but it won’t be until the proof is given.
When something so simple as a birth-certificate is shoved under the carpet, you have to sit back and wonder what else there is as well. There have been more concerns brought up over Obama and who he’s associated with in his past, the fact we know so very little about him, can’t get evidence that he’s actually a natural born citizen and the list goes on, yet anyone who rightly raises an eyebrow to this concern is mocked and ridiculed as a bogus conspiracy theorist who just wants to cause damage to the republican party.
This nation wasn’t founded on blind devotion to a false christ we know very little about. It was founded on hard questioning over what is true and right. Whenever the media sings praises of adoration to someone who’s literally come from who knows where, that should be enough raise suspicion. The absolute devotion to anyone, in the manner that has been given to President Obama, is not only bizarre, but demonstrates the lack of reason and common sense in this nation, and most assuredly, the rest of the developed world. A figure, like the antichrist, arising from nowhere, nowadays seems unavoidable and the ignorance of a society like ours today will be in lock-step.
Should we continue to remain tolerant? This time, the founder of an Islamic TV station that was, in a case of irony, launched to help combat negative portrayals of Muslims, has been accused of beheading his wife…
Meanwhile the Archbishop of Canterbury is positive about Sharia Law.

Here’s a piece from Jihad Watch with very pertinent commentary:
Yes, it’s a religion of peace… coming soon to a town near you.
WND reports that John 3:16 is now the number one search on Google after Tim Tebow had the Scripture reference on his eye black during a game on January 9th. That’s probably one of the best verses to put for everyone to see so I commend Tim Tebow for doing such.
William Lobdell on his post Tim Tebow and John 3:16 asks a good question:
But I have to wonder if his coaches or NCAA officials would allow him to have “There Is” “No God” written on his eye black below his right and left eyes. I imagine that these personal slogans will soon be banned. The Powers That Be in football were never much for personal expression.
The problem is that it shouldn’t be an issue in a country with free-speech. One thing I do know is, I’d like to see them on opposing teams. As one who can’t stand football, that would probably be a game I’d watch.
Spend 15 minutes of your time. Start with this video here:
Once you’ve finished that, watch this 10 minute sermon clip:
The reason the unbelieving ‘pastors’ and ‘teachers’ need to be exposed for what they are is because of the hypocrisy and lies that get spewed out of their mouths each week from the pulpits that then in turn make genuine Trust in Yeshua the Messiah look like foolishness. The one who partook of the fun at ‘church’ for a little while can walk away when the fountain of warm-fuzzy runs dry and say ‘Oh, I tried that, that was nice, but it really doesn’t have anything to offer me. It was fun while it lasted but I don’t think any of it’s true.’ Then these individuals who figure the picture of Christianity they got was genuine apply that to all believers.
These self-help pop-psycho-babble guru’s in the pulpits today are doing nothing for their congregations. They aren’t feeding the sheep (John 21:17), they’re instead tickling their ears (2 Timothy 4:3-4). So what will happen as the congregation faces the confusion of today when the world seems to be in utter chaos? The book that their church claims to teach has the answers to what is going on within it’s pages but because it’s never really opened those answers are never heard and so the world appears to be in utter chaos. But to those who have been taught appropriately, rightly dividing the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15), who study to show themselves approved, it is not in chaos, but a well orchestrated symphony of events, foretold thousands of years in advance. The Biblical Christians aren’t confused nor afraid. But the fear and confusion of the unbelievers sitting in the seats of teachers who aren’t teaching is dreadful.
The message of the happy Jesus who wants nothing more than for you to accept him so he can give you the wonderful plan he has for your life doesn’t hold much weight as the people who believed this are now facing struggles of employment, financial distress, inflation, strange food supplies, news that doesn’t stop, wars that can’t be explained… the list could go on and on. Now that pastor up there turned out to be a liar. He said things would be great and you’ll be happy and he gave you a couple verses from the Bible along with 5 steps to a life without fear but that fear didn’t go away, did it? And the world doesn’t seem to be getting better as the guy up there on stage said it is. The ‘great things’ that god was doing all the time for the church and community, god isn’t doing anymore is he? Does that mean god doesn’t love us afterall? Maybe that god doesn’t exist. I guess those Christians didn’t have the answers they claimed to…
No the world is not getting better and it’s not going to get better until Yeshua returns as the Conquering King to Rule with His Rod of Iron as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. True, there will be peace and a perceived better world for a few years right before then, but anyone who tells you things are getting better is a liar. This is precisely why these ‘pastors’ and ‘teachers’ need to be exposed for what they are. They aren’t being ‘loving’ by telling you false information. It’s not loving to lie, nor is it loving to lead you to your death. If you have the answers, it’s not loving to hide them.
I highly suggest reading The Greatest Expert on the Scriptures Who Ever Lived And His View of the Bible, written by Chris Rosebrough. It’s a very well written piece that discusses why it’s important to take the Bible literally, rather than figuratively. The common ‘believer’ today who claims to be a Christian will prove that they are more than likely a false convert when confronted with the Truth of Scripture. When topics come up in conversations that expose how seriously one views the Bible, you will find these people not defending the Bible, but rather, struggling to bring down the character of those who take the Bible very seriously.
Those who take the Bible literally are the enemy. This is because literalists know we’re sojourners and have a mission to preach and teach the Good News. We know Yeshua the Messiah will return and when He does he won’t be the character portrayed in all the nice paintings. We are the ones who expose the deeds of the unbelieving and seek to bring them to repentance before our time here is up. We see things heating up in the middle east, head back to the Bible and note that the stage is being set just as the Scriptures said it would be and has never been before, literally. The allegorical agnostics who claim to be believers not only don’t see these things as Truth, but are vehemently opposed to those who do. Biblical Christianity is the minority in supposed ‘Christian’ nations and is the enemy in most churches today.
When Yeshua the Messiah came 2,000 years ago, he fulfilled more than 300 specifications (prophecies) laid out in advance over the previous several thousand years in the Word. He fulfilled those specifications literally. It can be understood in an illustration of making an order. When you order something, you expect to get what you ordered when the order is fulfilled. If the final product doesn’t add up to the specifications of the original order, you take it back. But if it does, then you don’t reject the order – you consider it fulfilled. As ridiculous as an example that is, it serves to make the point that the 4 Gospels, followed up by all the epistles we call the New Testament, were written to show that Yeshua was who He claimed to be. And because all of those specifications were fulfilled literally, it would stand to reason, through common sense and logic (the modern athiest loves those words) that the prophecies written and hammered at least 7 times more than the previous about the Second Coming and the Day of YHWH will also be fulfilled literally – probably moreso than you could ever imagine.
Chris Rosebrough was responding to a video interview of Marcus Borg. You can see the video posted in Chris’ explanation titled ‘What I Was Writing Against‘. For whatever reason, these guys seek the demise of the authority of Scripture and yet want to call themselves Christians.
Dr. David Jeremiah, in his book “What In the World Is Going On?” comments on how unlikely the idea of a one world ruler was just some time ago yet today seems inescapable. In light of the recent election, I found this paragraph fascinating.
It’s no wonder that people will follow this man and even fall down and worship him. We see in our own political compaigns how quickly people gravitate to charisma and power. Give us a fine-looking candidate with a golden voice, a powerful presence, and the ability to enthrall people with vague rhetoric about an undefined better future, and we follow like sheep as the media bleats the candidate’s praises. Completely overlooked is the substance of the man’s program. The presence and charisma of the [a]ntichrist will be similar, making his rise to power inevitable.
What in the World is Going On? Dr. David Jeremiah, ch. 7, pg. 157.
As has been reported now for the last week, eHarmony has been forced by the government to match homosexuals. WorldNetDaily has this article which explains what happened pretty well.
What most people don’t get is the complete slap in the face to freedom – the freedom to create and operate a business that caters to whom they wish to cater to. Unfortunately, this shows the complete lack understanding by the courts of how our economy works. This also demonstrates that the homosexual agenda is about crying the loudest to impose their views upon others, regardless of what kind of damage they cause in the process. Eric McKinley should have seen an opportunity to start his own business – instead, he had to rob another to get something which he ‘might consider’ using.
Dr. Warren has recently tried to shed the image he had of founding a service with Christian roots. It’s unfortunate that he’s found keeping a successful business alive at the expense of his own background to be a worthy endeavor. The company’s founder SHOULD have stood firm with what he supposedly believed in and when forced to go against those ideals, closed his business. Imagine what that would have done for the homosexual agenda – to have someone finally stand up and say No for a change – loudly. It would have upset all the customers who use the service and certainly shown the homosexual agenda for what it is, along with the incompetence of the ruling elite. Dr. Warren could have saved face and done just that. Certainly he was still free to do so. But he didn’t. And instead, eHarmony will bow to the agenda and their reputation will go downhill along with all the other sites that used to be as popular as eHarmony is (was). eHarmony offered quality that was unmatched in the online dating services that was geared towards long-term relationships. The homosexuals prove time and time again they don’t do well in long-term relationships, despite what the media tries so hard to portray. There were other sites McKinley could have used which have no problem catering to homosexuals. McKinley could have started his own if it was really needed… but he didn’t.
