Mormon Church Rewrites it’s History….again

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 2:12 am

There have already been thousands of documented changes made to the Book of Mormon since Joseph Smith used his “seer’s stone” and a hat to translate it. Now, it seems the LDS church is trying to fix more problems by selective editing of their texts. From polygamy to blacks not being allowed to hold the priesthood, there is a lot of cleaning up to do. I would ask Mormons to consider this question, “Was Joseph Smith wrong, or was God wrong?” God does not need editing, but men do.

A newly released digital edition of the four books of LDS or Mormon scripture—the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price—includes editorial changes that reflect a shifting official view on issues like polygamy, the Church’s history of racism, and the historicity of LDS scripture.

Perhaps the most significant is the inclusion of a new heading to precede the now-canonized 1978 announcement of the end of the LDS Church’s ban on black priesthood ordination:

The Book of Mormon teaches that “all are alike unto God,” including “black and white, bond and free, male and female” (2 Nephi 26:33). Throughout the history of the Church, people of every race and ethnicity in many countries have been baptized and have lived as faithful members of the Church. During Joseph Smith’s lifetime, a few black male members of the Church were ordained to the priesthood. Early in its history, Church leaders stopped conferring the priesthood on black males of African descent. Church records offer no clear insights into the origins of this practice.

I would offer Satan as a definite source of this practice, along with Polygamy.

Muslim Brotherhood Crucifying Protesters in Egypt

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:38 am

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Egypt. According to this article, Christians are among those being crucified for objecting to the new Egyptian government, and the harshest torture is reserved for them, because they don’t worship Allah. I pray as many of them as possible have been able to flee their homes and escape this brutal barbarism.

I notice Obama has little to say about the so called “Arab Spring” these days, and he hasn’t said a word about the Crucifixions taking place. Since the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government at the highest levels, and seems to be an ally of our current Resident in Chief, I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. What kind of human can ignore these horrors out of simple political expediency? And, we’re supposed to believe Obama’s a Christian? I think not.

The Arab Spring takeover of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood has run amok, with reports from several different media agencies that the radical Muslims have begun crucifying opponents of newly installed President Mohammed Morsi.

Middle East media confirm that during a recent rampage, Muslim Brotherhood operatives “crucified those opposing Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi naked on trees in front of the presidential palace while abusing others.”

Raymond Ibrahim, a fellow with the Middle East Forum and the Investigative Project on Terrorism, said the crucifixions are the product of who the Middle Eastern media call “partisans.”

“Arabic media call them ‘supporters,’ ‘followers’ and ‘partisans’ of the Muslim Brotherhood,” Ibraham said.

They can’t even call them what they are! Murderers and animals!

Ibrahim also says the victims can be anyone, including Egyptian Christians.

“It’s anyone who is resisting the new government,” Ibrahim said. “In this particular case, the people attacked and crucified were secular protesters upset because of Morsi’s hostile campaign against the media, especially of Tawfik Okasha, who was constantly exposing him on his station, until Morsi shut him down.”

Ibrahim said extra brutality is reserved for Christians, but the crucifixions are because of Islamic doctrine and are required by the Quran. The time and other details about the crucifixions were not readily available.

‘Tumour’ of Israel will soon be destroyed: Ahmadinejad

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:00 am

Ahmadinejad hasn’t been reading his Bible, but Iran’s actions could very well be the spark that fulfills the prophesies in Ezekiel. If Iran attacks, or Israel launches a preemptive attack it could end up involving the entire Middle East, and eventually the West. It would be an earth shattering event to be sure, and a life changing one for much of the planet.

It’s also interesting that Syria is on a path to destruction at the same time. Isaiah 17 includes the end times prophecy that Syria will no longer be a city, but a heap of ruins.

Israel is our time clock, and Jesus is our hope. Be looking up, if this regional war actually begins.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told an annual anti-Israel protest in Tehran on Friday that the Jewish state was a “cancerous tumour” that will soon be excised, drawing Western rebukes.

Washington said Ahmadinejad’s statements were “reprehensible”, while Paris viewed them as “outrageous.”

Ahmadinejad’s diatribe against Israel in his Quds (Jerusalem) Day address was the latest in a long line to have drawn criticism from Western governments.

“The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumour,” he said.

“The nations of the region will soon finish off the usurper Zionists in the Palestinian land…. A new Middle East will definitely be formed. With the grace of God and help of the nations, in the new Middle East there will be no trace of the Americans and Zionists,” he said.

[Russia Sends Greeting] UFO seen over Israel apparently Russian ICBM test

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:40 am

Yet more evidence that the war of Gog and Magog is drawing near. It amazes me, still, how detailed and accurate Bible prophecy is. Be ready, and make sure your lives are right with God, for we know not the exact time He will come.

Hundreds of Israelis across country flood police lines with reports of a light in the sky, traveling in a spiral with a large trail behind it.

Russia announced on Thursday night that it had carried out a successful test of an inter-continental ballistic missile, seemingly explaining a mysterious moving light seen in the skies over Israel, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Jordan.

Police in the northern district said it was checking the reports with the IDF.

Meanwhile, Lebanese news website Naharnet reported glowing objects spotted over the Lebanese-Israeli border and the Lebanese-Turkish border.

The Israeli Astronomical Association said the object was 80 kilometers high and was not a meteor.

All the countries prophesied to take part in the war on Israel in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are displaying that intent. These are the signs we’re to watch for.

‘Human barcode’ could make society more organized, but invades privacy, civil liberties

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 9:59 am

The modern day name for the Mark of the Beast…the “human barcode” in the form of a chip. God’s prophetic time clock ticks on.

Microchip implants have become standard practice for our pets, but have been a tougher sell when it comes to the idea of putting them in people.

Science fiction author Elizabeth Moon last week rekindled the debate on whether it’s a good idea to “barcode” infants at birth in an interview on a BBC radio program.

“I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached — a barcode if you will — an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals,” she said on The Forum, a weekly show that features “a global thinking” discussing a “radical, inspiring or controversial idea” for 60 seconds .

Moon believes the tools most commonly used for surveillance and identification — like video cameras and DNA testing — are slow, costly and often ineffective.

In her opinion, human barcoding would save a lot of time and money.

The proposal isn’t too far-fetched – it is already technically possible to “barcode” a human – but does it violate our rights to privacy?

Opponents argue that giving up anonymity would cultivate an “Orwellian” society where all citizens can be tracked.

I’m sure saving money is their only reason for wanting to quickly identify people and track them throughout life. Yup, that’s believable. Not.

Christians Should “Convert, Pay Tribute, or Leave,” Says Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Candidate

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:43 am

The Muslim Brotherhood has been praised as moderate and secular by our President, and invited into the White House as employees and advisers. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood leaders in Egypt are preparing to exterminate the Christians one way or another. Knowing our dear leader’s phony faith, he probably has no problem with this.

These are things Romney needs to be talking about. Let’s hope he doesn’t go the road of Mclame and tiptoe around these issues.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Egypt.

Christians Should “Convert, Pay Tribute, or Leave,” Says Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Candidate by Raymond Ibrahim May 30, 2012 at 4:00 am “They need to know that conquest is coming, that Egypt will be Islamic, and that they must pay jizya or emigrate,” Morsi reportedly said.

And, if they refuse those two options, the third option is beheading.

Russian Is Massing Troops On Iran’s North Border And Waiting for Western Attack

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:39 pm

The war of Gog and Magog is certainly getting closer. One also might call it World War III, as Iran, allied with Russia and all Muslim countries will be opposed by most of the West. God will Protect Israel as promised. With the corruption and war on God in the United States, I wonder if we will still be under His blessing…..if we even last that long economically and as a unified country.

The Russian military anticipates that an attack will occur on Iran by the summer and has developed an action plan to move Russian troops through neighboring Georgia to stage in Armenia, which borders on the Islamic republic, according to informed Russian sources.

Russian Security Council head Viktor Ozerov said that Russian General Military Headquarters has prepared an action plan in the event of an attack on Iran.

Obama Admin OKs Using Aborted Babies’ Brains in Lab Tests

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:20 am

Progressives are willing to admit that an aborted baby isn’t just a mass of tissue, and in fact has a brain. They’re just depraved enough to want to use those dead baby brains for research. Why is it liberals never have to answer for their hypocrisy? The sane people in this country better organize and come together against the Left, or we’ll have abortion for research, and post birth abortions.

The Obama administration is getting grief from a pro-life group for approving an experiment using the remains of the bodies of unborn children victimized in abortion for research continues in U.S. laboratories.

Scott Fischbach, the director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life uncovered the information showing a clinical trial approved by the Food and Drug Administration uses brain tissue from aborted unborn babies to treat macular degeneration. StemCells Inc. will inject fetal brain stem cells into the eyes of up to 16 patients to study the cells’ effect on vision.

In its press release announcing the clinical trial, StemCells Inc. was careful to refer to the fetal brain material as “purified human neural stem cell product” or HuCNS-SC cells, rather than “fresh human fetal brain tissue,” a description which can be found elsewhere on its website.

There’s the answer to my question. They just create new words that avoid the issue, like “purified human neural stem cell product”. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that one.

Cardinal Dolan: Obama Admin Lectured Bishops to Listen to ‘Enlightened’ Voices in Private Meeting

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 10:43 am

In a blatant violation of the separation of church and state, as it was intended by our founders, the White House met with Catholic leaders and lectured them on their need to listen to more enlightened views, rather than following their own beliefs and their own church doctrine. So, us dumb Christians just need to toss our beliefs out, and listen to whomever the government appoints to dictate to us what our beliefs will now be.

Who does this arrogant President think he is? He hasn’t done enough damage already to the economy and the country as a whole, so now he’s going to wage a war on faith? Christians of all stripes and colors better be awake and stand with the Catholics, because it will be your church being told what our government decides are acceptable beliefs next.

Communism can not exist in a Christian nation, and must, as all Marxists know, force atheism on the masses. Make no mistake, our Marxist leader wants exactly that. Teach your children the true meaning of “separation of church and state”, and exactly why our founders left Europe in the first place. It was to avoid just this kind of tyranny and control of the church by the state.

Be watchful and start paying attention to politics in your churches. Believe me, it DOES affect you, and you have every right to defend your freedom of religion, conscience, and speech, especially in a house of worship. Don’t let them take us down this road. It always ends in blood running in the streets, and mass murder. History provides ample evidence of how these tragedies have begun to take root in society, and it looks just like the road America is on now.

Over the past week, the media firestorm surrounding Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke and Rush Limbaugh has eclipsed the larger issue of religious liberty that stands at the forefront of the contraception mandate.

With the distracting debate raging, Fluke has received the majority of the media attention surrounding the subject. New developments in the faith world, unfortunately, have gone unnoticed. Of particular note is a public letter that was penned on March 2 by Cardinal Timothy Dolan (also president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops).

The letter recaps a bizarre conversation U.S. Conference staff recently had with White House officials regarding the mandate. In fact, Dolan seems to allege that government officials lectured Catholic leaders about church teaching, writing:

At a recent meeting between staff of the bishops’ conference and the White House staff, our staff members asked directly whether the broader concerns of religious freedom—that is, revisiting the straight-jacketing mandates, or broadening the maligned exemption—are all off the table. They were informed that they are. So much for “working out the wrinkles.” Instead, they advised the bishops’ conference that we should listen to the “enlightened” voices of accommodation, such as the recent, hardly surprising yet terribly unfortunate editorial in America. The White House seems to think we bishops simply do not know or understand Catholic teaching and so, taking a cue from its own definition of religious freedom, now has nominated its own handpicked official Catholic teachers.

Ethicists Argue in Favor of ‘After-Birth Abortions‘ as Newborns ’Are Not Persons’

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:02 pm

It was only a matter of time before the culture of death, bombarded with proof that a living child is being killed during an abortion, would have to take a new approach. Now one must be not just a human, but must be considered a “person” before you are worthy of a right to life.

What kind of animals could slaughter a new born baby and excuse it because they don’t deem that little baby to be a person yet? Who won’t be considered a true person next? Perhaps, disabled people, or old people won’t be considered a full person. This proves, without a doubt, that they know it is murder and they just flat don’t care. We are up against serious evil in this world. What bothers me the most is that most people won’t even hear about this, until it’s too late, or they won’t care until it actually affects them.

Two ethicists working with Australian universities argue in the latest online edition of the Journal of Medical Ethics that if abortion of a fetus is allowable so to should be the termination of a newborn.

Alberto Giubilini with Monash University in Melbourne and Francesca Minerva at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne write that in “circumstances occur[ing] after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible.”

The two are quick to note that they prefer the term “after-birth abortion“ as opposed to ”infanticide.” Why? Because it “[emphasizes] that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus (on which ‘abortions’ in the traditional sense are performed) rather than to that of a child.” The authors also do not agree with the term euthanasia for this practice as the best interest of the person who would be killed is not necessarily the primary reason his or her life is being terminated. In other words, it may be in the parents’ best interest to terminate the life, not the newborns.

It’s a game of words to them. Instead of murder, they just call it after birth abortion. It’s the difference between stabbing a child in the head and suctioning out their brains two minutes earlier when they’re in the womb, or when they come out. They are just so evil and disgusting, they don’t need to hide it in the womb anymore.

Another View of the Syrian “Revolt” (200 Christians killed in Homes by Free Syrian Army)

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 7:57 am

You won’t see this bloody tragedy reported in the MSM. It’s the wrong religion for them to even care. The level of anti-Christian hatred and antisemitism is at a level not seen in decades, and I’m not just referring to the Middle East. The same hate can be seen in cities across the US at occupy mob encampments, and Left wing protests. I have a feeling….and I don’t like saying this…that things are going to get much worse for Christians in the coming year. Who we elect as our next president will affect greatly the level of attacks Christians will experience right here at home.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East. Their only choice right now in many areas is to flee to a safer place or face death. May God be with them, and against the enemies of the one true God.

….The Syrian Christians to a man told me that the “freedom fighters” where nothing more than Sunni Jihadists looking to take advantage of the various “Arab Spring” movements that had been successfully overthrowing stable dictatorships throughout the region in favor of radicalized Muslim groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda. They told me at that time that these groups were not only the main aggressors in the conflict, but that they were specifically targeting Christians for both religious persecution and for political retaliation. Several told me that in Homs the graffiti left by the insurgents often stated, “Alawites to the grave, Christians to the cross.” They told me that rather than the Syrian Army crushing this resistance movement as the Iranians had in 2009, they were actually trying to protect their core constituents from a murder and intimidation campaign that was beginning to mirror what al Qaeda had perpetrated in Iraq during 05-06. The clear strategy of the “freedom fighters” was to attack civilian targets and local police as a way of drawing the Army into a campaign of suppression that they could use to fight the media battle in the western press. Funny, that strategy rings a bell doesn’t it?…..

What is with the attacks on the Catholic church? It doesn’t even make political sense, as Catholics (which includes most Hispanics) are a huge voting block.

Former Member of Russian Joint Chiefs of Staff: Russia Ready to Use Military Power to Defend Iran..

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 9:36 am

The Middle East war that will begin the Tribulation is coming, and all of the countries prophesied to attack Israel are either under Islamic rule, and, or, threatening an attack. The good news is, God wins!

Following are excerpts from an interview with Colonel-General [ret.] Leonid Ivashov, former member of the Russian Joint Chiefs of Staff, which aired on Russia Today TV on February 1, 2012:

Interviewer: Dr. Leonid, do you think that these preparations and very large maneuvers, which will soon be conducted by Russia, are meant as preparation for war, or rather, a military strike against Iran?

[…]

Leonid Ivashov: These maneuvers and training will demonstrate Russia’s readiness to use military power to defend its national interests and to bolster its political position. The maneuvers will show that Russia does not want any military operations to be waged against Iran or Syria. I assume that the people in the West and in Israel who design the schemes for a large geopolitical operation in the greater Middle East region draw a direct connection between the situation in Syria and in Iran. Indeed, these two countries are allies, and both are considered guaranteed partners of Russia. The only question, therefore, is who they will try to destroy first as a stable country: Syria or Iran.

[…]

A strike against Syria or Iran is an indirect strike against Russia and its interests. Russia would lose important positions and allies in the Arab world. Therefore, by defending Syria, Russia is defending its own interests.

In addition, Russia is thus defending the entire world from Fascism. Everybody should acknowledge that Fascism is making strides on our planet. What they did in Libya is nearly identical to what Hitler and his armies did against Poland and then Russia. Today, therefore, Russia is defending the entire world from Fascism….

Russia: “Should Anything Happen to Iran … This Will Be a Direct Threat to Our National Security”

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:51 pm

For any prophecy scholars out there who didn’t think “Rosh”, mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39, could refer to Russia forming an alliance with Islamic countries to attack Israel, current news proves how likely this alliance really is. It also warns us of how close we are to the Middle East war that will set the tribulation in motion.

Russia and China Would Consider An Attack On Iran – Or Syria – As An Attack On Their National Security

The escalating conflict around Iran should be contained by common effort, otherwise the promising Arab Spring will grow into a “scorching Arab Summer,” says Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s deputy prime minister and former envoy to NATO.

“Iran is our close neighbor, just south of the Caucasus. Should anything happen to Iran, should Iran get drawn into any political or military hardships, this will be a direct threat to our national security,” stressed Rogozin.

Of course, this isn’t the only evidence we have to go on. Russia has long been supplying Iran with arms and equipment needed for their nuclear program. They are an ally to the Islamic world, and a very real threat to Israel, just as the Bible prophesied.

Muslims Intimidate Their Way Across Europe

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 11:48 am

When you read articles like this one, it makes the hatred and barbaric violence of the end-times seem entirely possible, doesn’t it?

A mob of some 20 Islamists stormed a debate in Amsterdam that was featuring two Muslim liberals, the Canadian writer and Muslim feminist Irshad Manji and the Dutch-Moroccan Green Left MP Tofik Dibi.

Muslim extremists belonging to the group Sharia4Belgium, which seeks to establish Islamic Sharia law across Europe, yelled “Allahu Akbar” (“Allah is Greater”) and threatened to break Manji’s neck. Waving an Islamist jihadist flag, they then demanded that Manji and Dibi be executed for apostasy.

The December 8 debate on how liberal Muslims can prevent Islam from being hijacked by Muslim extremists was held at the De Baile venue in downtown Amsterdam, and was sponsored by the Brussels-based European Foundation for Democracy. The event resumed after police arrested several of the Islamists.

The incident highlights the increasing frequency with which Muslims are using intimidation tactics — including harassment and even murder — in an effort to silence free speech in Europe and to impose Islam on the continent.

Manji is touring Europe to promote her new book, “Allah, Liberty and Love.” She is also the author of “The Trouble With Islam Today,” which is critical of mainstream Islam and its deep-seated anti-Semitism.

The confrontation took place just days after a group of ten Dutch-Moroccan Muslim youths threw stones at a Santa Claus in the southwestern Slotervaart neighborhood of Amsterdam, where more than 30% of the population is Moroccan and another 20% is Turkish.

In recent years, Christian festivities celebrating the arrival of “Sinterklaas” to the Netherlands have been cancelled in several cities due to threats and violence by Muslim youths.

In Belgium, 40 members of Sharia4Belgium recently disrupted a speech about Islam by the Dutch author Benno Barnard. The lecture, entitled “The Islam Debate: Long Live God, Down with Allah!,” was part of a series of talks about the Enlightenment at Antwerp University.

Sharia4Belgium is a radical Muslim organization that denounces democracy and wants to turn Belgium into an Islamic state. The group has established an Islamic Sharia law court in Antwerp, the second-largest city in Belgium. The objective of the court is to create a parallel Islamic legal system in Belgium that will challenge the state’s authority as the enforcer of civil law protections guaranteed by the Belgian constitution.

In France, teachers in schools with a high proportion of Muslim children are being threatened on an almost daily basis by Muslims who object to courses about the Holocaust, the Crusades or evolution, and who demand halal [food "permitted" under Islamic Sharia law] meals and “reject French culture and its values,” according to a report published by the French government. Muslims are also trying to silence discussion of events related to Israel and the Palestinians, and American military actions in Muslim countries. …..

Gingrich: Anti-Christian Spring Is Coming (Blasts Muslim Student Lawsuit at Catholic University)

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:06 pm

Amen! Newt says it all.

Charges of anti-Muslim discrimination at Catholic University in D.C. has presidential candidate Newt Gingrich up in arms.

“I look at the things that are going on in this country that make no sense to me,” he said to a crowd of about 250 South Carolinians gathered at a pig roast fundraiser organized by the Myrtle Beach Tea Party. “We now have a lawsuit apparently by some Muslim students at Catholic University who are offended being at a Catholic university. Now my first answer to them is ‘Fine, don’t go to a Catholic university.’”

His comments drew applause. Gingrich was referring to allegations that Catholic University of America is illegally discriminating against Muslim students by “denying them access to benefits that other student groups enjoy,” and, in particular, not providing space for daily prayers so that they have to pray in classrooms or campus chapels where they are surrounded by Catholic symbols. The charges are currently being reviewed by the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights.

I wonder how many Madrassas would hide the Koran, change their clothing, or take down images symbolic of Islam for a Christian student? Oh, never mind, Christians wouldn’t even be allowed to enroll for classes at a Muslim school.

And, the infiltration without assimilation continues, one little bit at a time. We may be behind the Brits in their “Muslim problem”, but we’re headed in the same direction.

Vatican calls for global authority on economy, raps idolatry of the market

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:27 pm

Interesting. The Vatican is calling for a global financial system and a global public authority in response to the financial crisis. Perhaps they should read Revelation and Ezekiel a little more closely. Of course, since they put little stock in the Bible and rely on Papal infallibility for their traditions, that might not help at all. Will they be calling for a global religion next? Interesting times.

The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

I wonder how Catholics feel about their supreme leader siding with the Occupy Wall Street crowd, which is also siding with the Communists and anarchists that have joined them? Next they’ll be nominating George Soros, the primary funder of the OWSies, to be the one global authority. Things are happening fast from a Biblical perspective.

Think I’m being a bit extreme in my interpretation of the Vatican’s comments? They’re also calling for a global “moral code”.

“The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said.

If it’s social, moral, and cultural coexistence they want, I guarantee the Muslim population isn’t going to go along, unless we’re all under Shariah Law. But, whatever it takes to have social and moral coexistence, right?

Sudan President Vows New All-Islamic Constitution, Shariah-Based Legislation

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:14 pm

Arab revolution is leading to great things, isn’t it? NOT! Pray for the Christians living in Sudan. Their lives just got a lot more dangerous.

Sudan plans to move forward with an all-Islamic constitution and a legal system governed by Shariah law, the country’s president said Wednesday.

The announcement comes three months after neighboring South Sudan, largely Christian, declared its independence and split off from the predominantly Muslim north. Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir had said in December that his country would adopt an Islamic constitution if the south made such a move, Reuters reported, though many hoped he would not go through with it.

“Ninety eight percent of the people are Muslims and the new constitution will reflect this. The official religion will be Islam and Islamic law the main source [of the constitution],” Bashir said in a speech to students in Khartoum. “We call it a Muslim state.”

Coptic Church Condemns Attack, Muslims Pelt Funeral Procession With Bricks

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 7:23 am

It isn’t enough for the savages in Egypt to kill the Christian minority, they have to throw bricks at the mourners as they try to collect their dead. Equally disturbing is the fact that our President supports this “revolution” by the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt issued a statement on October 10, expressing horror at the events of yesterday in Maspero, where 24 Copts were killed and over 200 and wounded. The church stressed that the Christian faith rejects violence. The church blasted the government for failing to find solutions to “problems that occur repeatedly and go unpunished.” The Church asked all Copts to fast continuously for three days starting tomorrow “in order to have peace in Egypt.”

Some interpreted this demand, which the church has made only three times in its long history, as a way to implore “God’s help for the Copts,” commented Coptic activist and writer Nader Shoukry.

In Cairo, thousands of Copts marched to attend the funeral of the victims of what they termed the “October 9 Military Massacre.” They congregated in front of the Coptic hospital where most of the dead and injured were transported, and which was attacked the night before by Muslims, who hurled bricks and Molotov Cocktails at the victims’ families.

Atheists’ Threats Lead Town to Remove Christian Cross From Water Tower

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:50 pm

If you’re uncomfortable with the site of a cross, and hate Christianity so much you’d sue an entire town, MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN FULL OF ATHEISTS. This threatened lawsuit is the true intolerance.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, America’s largest organization of atheists and agnostics, continues to use the legal system to purge the nation of references and symbols related to faith and religion (as we reported yesterday, the group will hold its 34th annual convention this weekend).

In one of the foundation’s latest assaults on faith, FFRF is demanding that the town of Whiteville, Tennessee, remove a cross that stands at the top of a local water tower. The atheist group first requested that the cross be taken down last December, citing a citizen who is uncomfortable with its presence.

ACLU now forcing schools to allow prayer…if it’s directed to Allah

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 8:01 am

How many lawsuits have been filed by the ACLU to keep Christians from praying anywhere near a school or school function? For decades they have relentlessly bullied and threatened Christians for exercising their right to pray. I remember a 5 year old student being forced by the ACLU to stop saying grace before she ate her lunch in the school lunch room. So, what has changed? The ACLU is more afraid of being targeted by head chopping Islamists than they are the thought of prayers going out from a school room.

Completely turning their previous logic on its head, the ACLU has now decided their version of separation of church and state doesn’t apply to Muslims. Christian prayers are still worthy of a costly lawsuit, but Muslim children must be allowed to pray during class. Not only can they pray without fear of lawsuits, they must be provided a place to pray.

I actually support the ACLU’s change of heart. Children should be allowed to pray whenever and wherever they want. That’s called freedom of religion. However, I don’t expect the ACLU to start letting all children pray, just Muslim children. It’s hard to tell whether we’re in Saudi Arabia or America at times.

The bully is now the bullied. The ACLU has traded one master (liberalism) for another – Islam. They are far more frightened of their new masters’ swords than Christians’ pens.

The ACLU has tipped its hand giving us positive proof of what we always thought they were: feckless twerps and enemies of our freedoms.

Since their pinup girl Madelyn Murray O’Hare forced God out of our government schools, the ACLU has been on a relentless crusade to “cleanse” our public and private lives of anything THEY deem violations of their idea of the relationship between Church and State.

If a high school football team in Texas wants to pray before a game, the ACLU is right there threatening a costly lawsuit against the school, the school district and the coach as an individual defendant. They seem never to miss an opportunity to destroy the influence of God and promote atheism using intimidation as their weapon of choice.

Bringing fear to the faithful has always been what these social parasites are about; but now the jack boot appears to be on the other foot and the bully is being bullied. The ACLU has joined in a fight to force San Diego’s public schools to accommodate Muslim students wishing to pray in public school while classes are in sessions.

Whimpering that the Qur’an demands Muslims pray five times a day, a frightened ACLU spokesperson defended the move as necessary to provide freedom to worship – see what a sword in the back can do?

What is notable, but not surprising is that at the same time these phony ACLU hypocrites are fighting for Muslim religious rights in California, they are fighting against Judeo-Christian expressions in the public schools in Virginia!

Muslims in Egypt burn Christian churches

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:10 pm

Some Arab Spring our fearless leader likes to brag about. Only in Islam would afternoon prayers consist of 20 mosques telling their sheeple to burn down a Coptic Christian church, burn down Christian’s houses and loot them, and then kill Christians, too. This is what happens when Islamists take over a country. They’ve been doing it for over 1400 years, and in their minds the crusades never ended. To add insult to injury, our government has been meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood and promises to keep open communications with them. Why don’t they meet with Al Qaeda while their at it. The Muslim Brotherhood created Al Qaeda, so they might as well. I wonder how Israel feels about that move. Probably, much like they’ve joined the rest of us under Obama’s bus.

While our troops are dying to protect Muslims in Afghanistan from their own club of murdering maniacs, our President does nothing about the extermination of Christians going on in Egypt. I take that back, he does do something. He praises their move toward democracy. The “democracy” that MB leaders don’t believe in. It’s Shariah law in action folks. It could be anyone of us in the future. When will America learn that what happens over there can happen here. It’s not like they aren’t working toward the same result here, and around the world.

Lord help the Christians in Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, and wherever the next Islamic revolution breaks out.

Michael Ramzy, a villager in Elmarenab, said the attack started shortly after Muslims held their afternoon prayers.

“Imams in more than 20 mosques called for crowds to gather and destroy the church and demolish the houses of the Copts and loot their properties,” Ramzy told local media.

The Mar Gerges burning is the third church in Egypt in seven months to be burned down by a mob.

Sounds like Arab HELL to me.

All Your World Are Belong to Us! – Egyptian Leader

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:57 pm

So, is anyone out there still buying the Left’s delusion that the “Arab Spring” is a wonderful thing? Look closer and you’ll see that it’s more of an Arab Winter for the non-extremist Jew haters. While Hollywood wanabees, and Lefty bloggers celebrate the new “democracy” and “freedom” in Egypt, Egypt’s leaders are making them look like useful idiots by saying things like, “democracy is a retarded idea”. Make no mistake, Shariah law and Islamic fundamentalism are alive and well in Egypt, and they are the fuel that feeds the protests in that country.

If any Christians out there are buying into the Utopic lie the administration is selling, perhaps influential Egyptian Shaykh Safwat Hegazy will clear things up for you. At the heart of the Egyptian uprising is this:

“Jerusalem belongs to us, and the whole world belongs to us.” He states the Islamic caliphate will return, and that “every land upon which Islam has set foot will return to us.” He makes poignant references to Qurayza and Khaybar, which are clear threats against the Jews, and also states, “we will kill anyone who has polluted the al-Aqsa Mosque.”

The new Egyptian leaders, all members of the Muslim Brotherhood, are not the good guys we’re being told they are. Obviously, in true Hitler-like fashion, they want to kill all of the Jews. That’s nothing Iran hasn’t said 100 times. It’s important to realize, however, that the Arabs are engaged in a global movement, not a strictly regional one. If you can muster no sympathy for the Jews, Christians, and Muslims living in Israel, perhaps it will mean more when the target moves closer to home. I know I’m preaching to the choir in many cases, here. But, there are a growing number of people in America who get no news that the government doesn’t want you to hear. It’s those people these quotes and facts are intended to reach. Hegazy will likely be a key player in Egypt’s future. Before you buy into the media spin, watch this 2009 video of Hegazy’s vision for the world. His views haven’t changed a bit, and he is not leading a peaceful democracy movement in the Middle East. His own words prove this. If you’re asking why we should care? Once again, because, it’s a global movement, not a state, or regional one.

Christian in Iran faces execution for refusing to renounce his faith

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 4:06 pm

A very dark period is dawning on this world. It’s nothing new for Christians to be murdered for their faith, especially in Islamic countries, but when do you remember a time when it was national news and no one cared. Iran openly admits they are going to behead a man for being Christian, yet the MSM pretends they are ignorant of the tragedy, while the rest of the civilized world sits by and waits. Some effort is being made on his behalf, sure, but nothing like you would see if it were a Muslim in the United States sentenced to death for being Muslim. I fear, just like Hitler’s campaign of mass murder, mankind will recognize the pure evil, and barbarism of Islam’s fascist leaders far too late to save the many lives that will be lost to this kind of insanity.

While on the subject of Iran, does it bother anyone that Iran is also announcing the deployment of its navy to U.S. waters in response to our presence in waters close to Iran? Granted, their navy looks like toy boats compared to the full force of the United States Navy. However, it’s a giant step toward collaborating with Venezuela or Cuba to use an EMP, Dirty bomb, or, God forbid, a nuke on American soil. Obama is exactly the kind of President rouge dictators dream of. He’s far too busy bowing to Islamic leaders, and giving pep talks to the Muslim world to protect this country. I certainly hope Americans vote smart in the next election.

Pray for Yousef Nadarkhani and make sure your churches and political leaders know about this tragic situation.

CSW is urgently calling for action on behalf of Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani who faces execution anytime from Thursday onwards after refusing to renounce his faith.

Pastor Nadarkhani is currently on trial in Rasht. He has appeared in court three times this week and each time has refused to renounce his faith when asked to do so by the court.

FBI wants businesses watching for customers paying with cash (Buying flashlight= terrorism)

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:23 pm

What was it Obama said? Something like “never let a crisis go to waste”. Obama’s new “community based approach to fighting terrorism”, includes spying on U.S. citizens who pay cash at surplus stores, speak on the topic of religion (any religion, not specifically the religion responsible for most of the terrorism around the world), or make purchases like waterproof matches. Those of us who live in the rain forests of Washington state, best find alternate ways to start a fire in the rain.

I sure hope students in this country are still required to read “1984″…oh wait….most of them can’t even read. I guess I better get rid of my key chain that reads “in case of rapture, this car will not be needed”. Liberals would certainly find that to be an “extreme religious statement”, which I guess makes me a terrorist. I hope those who voted for Obama are realizing their mistake.

The next administration will have a lot to undo, if this country is going to return to the greatness it was once known and respected for.

Just days after the White House announced a community-based approach to combating terrorism in the United States, the FBI and other agencies are asking managers of surplus stores to spy on their customers, watching whether they pay in cash, make “extreme” religious statements or purchase products such as waterproof matches.

Greece is Imploding – Signs of the Times

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 2:58 pm

If you don’t think the financial collapse of Greece affects the U.S. and the rest of Europe, you don’t understand how truly global our economies are. Greece can’t pay it’s bills. It’s not just a budget problem that can be fixed, they are defaulting on their loans. And, guess who holds those loans that aren’t being paid back – the U.S. and Europe among others. The Dow is going to take a huge hit according to economists and the Euro is going to be hit hard.

In other signs of the times, a recent lunar eclipse turned the moon blood red. There will indeed be signs in the skies, the sun (a huge solar flare affected temperatures globally), and the stars.

NY Rep. Weiner admits he sent lewd pix; won’t quit

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 8:33 pm

If this had been a Republican, they would have spared us all the coverage and resigned immediately. Not because Conservatives are better people, but because they have higher standards and morals, and everyone knows it.

If, like the Left, you barely have morals, and they can shift and change as needed, then the liberal would say you don’t have to answer for your “indiscretions”. You just have to make a statement and whine that people won’t leave you alone. Lying, sex addictions, internet porn, etc., are only a problem because the Religious Right doesn’t think we need perverts running our country, right? Blame the side that dared to expect something better out of the people who write our laws and spend our money.

It may not pan out for the left this time, however. Of all the politicians in Washington, Weiner is probably the least likely to survive a scandal like this. Not because of his name, as some liberals will claim, but because he’s judged everyone on the right in the harshest terms for years, and is known for his self righteous judgement of those he doesn’t agree with politically. Before he criticized Glenn Beck’s ethics because of who advertizes on Fox, he should have made sure he wasn’t such a hypocrite.

New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner (WEE’-nuhr) says racy, shirtless pictures that appeared on a website are him and he’s apologizing for what he calls making terrible mistakes.

During a teary-eyed press conference, he says he won’t resign.

Why do we have to experience God’s Wrath?

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 9:09 pm

For those of you who might be wondering why devastating earthquakes, tsunamis, Tornadoes, Hurricanes and other natural disasters will, and are, taking so many lives, and bringing with them tragic suffering, remember these things:

First, we are entering what Jesus called the “birth pains” that will signal His return. The hope that Jesus return gives us will sustain us through these difficult times.

Second, there is a reason for these events that will ultimately save millions for eternity. God tells us in His Word that these natural disasters, global financial upheaval, and other tragedies are His final attempt to wake people from their complacency and show them that they too have a need for a higher power. Those who choose not to think about what happens after death, might suddenly start thinking about it. In some cases those Sunday school lessons we learned when we were children make a little more sense, and decades later a person might open their Bible and find Christ in those pages before the chaos of the end-times takes his life while he’s unprepared. When were speaking in terms of eternity, I think you’ll agree that one soul means a lot. We should all be praying for a revival like this world has never seen.

Our Lord and Savior wants all of us to go to heaven to live out eternity with Him, but he also gave us free will (would you really want to live life without that?). He’s also given us thousands of years of evidence for His existence, and many chances to find Him, spread the gospel, and bring as many to Christ as we can in our life time. Yet, God weeps at the vast numbers who have ignored His message of love and salvation, and chosen, instead, to follow doctrines of men, and worship creation rather than the Creator. It is for this reason that He is desperately trying to get our attention, before it’s too late to avoid an eternity of torment just because we stubbornly and pridefully refused the simple gift of life God offers to every one of us. All He asks of us is that we believe in Him and love Him with all our heart. If you think of it, He asks no more than we expect of our spouses and our children. Search the scriptures and I promise that you will find the clarity and hope you’re looking for.

Read these Bible verses to gain further understanding of God’s purpose for our current tumultuous times and then keep reading, starting with the New Testament:

Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:25-26; Revelation 6:12; 11:13; 16:18

U.S. Takes Away Israel’s Only Bargaining Chip

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 4:31 pm

Charles Krauthammer does an excellent job of laying out the habit America has of consistently throwing Israel under the bus, and the current administration’s attempt to pull the rug out from under the Jewish state completely.

Once again Israel is expected to give up more land in exchange for promises that everyone knows the Palestinians have no intention of keeping. Only this time, and for the first time in our long relationship with Israel, Obama is telling Israel they must return to the indefensible 1967 borders in exchange for more “Gaza style” promises. It’s a nonstarter, and Obama knows it. It sure gives the Palestinians a convenient chance to once again blame Israel for stalling the “peace” talks.

On a side note, is anyone else noticing the global chaos and extreme uptick in natural disasters that are accompanying this so called “Arab Spring”. Call me crazy, but a new Nazi political party gaining in popularity in Egypt doesn’t feel much like Spring to me. It’s more like hell on earth all over again.

Every Arab-Israeli negotiation contains a fundamental asymmetry: Israel gives up land, which is tangible; the Arabs make promises, which are ephemeral.

The long-standing American solution has been to nonetheless urge Israel to take risks for peace while America balances things by giving assurances of U.S. support for Israel’s security and diplomatic needs.

It’s on the basis of such solemn assurances that Israel undertook, for example, the Gaza withdrawal.

In order to mitigate this risk, President George W. Bush gave a written commitment that America supported Israel’s absorption of major settlement blocs in any peace agreement, opposed any return to the 1967 lines and stood firm against the so-called Palestinian right of return to Israel.

For two and a half years, the Obama administration has refused to recognize and reaffirm these assurances.

Then last week in his State Department speech, President Obama definitively trashed them. He declared that the Arab-Israeli conflict should indeed be resolved along “the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.”

Nothing new here, said Obama three days later. “By definition, it means that the parties themselves — Israelis and Palestinians — will negotiate a border that is different” from 1967.

It means nothing of the sort. “Mutually” means both parties have to agree. And if one side doesn’t? Then, by definition, you’re back to the 1967 lines.

Obama is the new Arafat – Knesset

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:32 pm

Apparently President Obama is just ignorant of history and military tactics, or he really does side with the Muslim rioters who can’t wait to wipe Israel off the map. Why such a harsh accusation? Because everything he HAS done and everything he WANTS to do, bring the Arab world closer and closer to their stated goal of wiping out the Jewish state.

Case in point: Obama wants to create a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders. This would be like recreating Mexico to include the southern United States.

Many wars were fought in this world’s past, and it shapes the borders we live within today. Why should Israel give back the land they won; the very land that gave the Arabs a strategic advantage in the first place (the Golan Heights and West Bank) to attack them. The Arabs LOST that war, and every other war they’ve launched against the Jewish nation. Losing wars have consequences, especially when they are the result of an unprovoked attack by a bunch of barbaric murders that have historically slaughtered men women and children of other faiths throughout history.

Allow me to sum up. The Arabs attack Israel in 67, they get their butts handed to them, Israel gains the land that the Arabs used to launch their attack (like every other country that has been the victor in a war), and now that the Arabs are working together and with Russia to prepare for another attack, our Socialist, anti-Israel, pseudo Christian, pro Social Justice President wants Israel to give back the land that gave the Arabs their biggest advantage in previous attacks.

America, If we don’t vote this Godless man out of office in 2012, we’re in big trouble. It is our friendship with, and support of Israel that has made us a blessed nation for 200 years. It’s also the right thing to do.

By GIL HOFFMAN – The Jerusalem Post

Danon, Ben-Ari outraged by US president’s call for creation of Palestinian state on ’67 lines; Livni says plan in Israel’s interests.

Knesset members on the Right expressed outrage on Thursday night at US President Barack Obama’s call for the creation of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps in an exchange of territory for security.

They called upon Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to reject Obama’s plan when he meets with him on Friday in Washington.

“Barack Hussein Obama adopted the staged plan for Israel’s destruction of Yasser Arafat, and he is trying to force it on our prime minister,” said Likud MK Danny Danon. “All that was new in the speech was that he called for Israel to return to 1967 borders without solving the crisis. Netanyahu has only one option: To tell Obama forget about it.”

Dollar in graver danger than the euro

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:28 pm

Not surprising news. We know the global government we’ll see rise from the current world chaos will be occupy the same land that made up the Old Roman Empire (EU), so naturally the Euro will likely replace the U.S. as the world currency, and the only currency used in oil trading. Being that the US economy is propped up by this current, exclusive privilege to trade oil only in dollars, in much the same way that the dollar was once backed by gold, the dollar will soon be seeing a far more dismal status in the world economy. Which, also makes perfect sense if you know your end-times prophecy.

Pakistan Militants Threaten To Kill Christian Rights Leader

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 4:46 pm

Haven’t the liberal elites been telling us since 9/11 that Islam is a peaceful religion? Haven’t they also insisted this isn’t a religious war? I don’t think the Islamists got the message. I can’t imagine a worse time to have a president in office who can’t even use the word war, especially in the same sentence with the word terror.

Sadly, I can’t imagine our weak president protecting Christians in the same way he’s coming to the rescue of the “rebels” (aka Jihadists who fought our soldiers in Iraq not that long ago) in Libya.

I knew the prophetic clock was ticking loudly, I just didn’t expect things to happen this fast. His time is not our time, that’s for certain.

I thought this paragraph from the article was particularly absurd, and somewhat amusing, if it weren’t so tragic.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the threats. However suspected Islamic militants who killed Bhatti in Islamabad left leaflets at the scene saying terror group al-Qaida and the Pakistani Taliban Movement in Punjab province would kill all those openly opposing the legislation.

The terrorists left leaflets, but it wasn’t immediately clear who was behind the threats. It must have been one of those radical Amish groups in the U.S. You know how the Amish are. They’re always blowing themselves up, and killing innocents in every country on the planet. For the kool aid drinkers, that last bit was sarcasm.

Christians attacked by military in Egypt

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 12:01 pm

I think most of us saw this coming. Just as Christians were attacked in Iraq when it was freed of Saddam’s iron-fisted rule, the Egyptian military is attacking and killing Coptic in Christians in Egypt following the overthrow of Egypt’s decades long leader. Muslims are never satisfied until they’ve killed all the Christians and Jews in site. Pray for all those who are fleeing for their lives in Egypt.

Dozens of Christian demonstrators have been attacked by Egyptian Armed Forces despite agreeing to suspend a sit-in protest outside the state-run television building that lasted 9 days.

The Coptic protesters came under fire on Monday, as the youth cleaned up the site and families from other provinces packed up their belongings, according to the Assyrian International News Agency.

Dr Gameel Ebeid of the Coptic hospital in Cairo treated 15 victims of the assault, 14 of which suffered from broken feet and head wounds caused by electrified batons.

“Suddenly at 3:45 AM they were attacked heavily by the army unit present at the TV building,” Dr Ebeid reported. “The youth started running and those who were caught were stripped of their mobile phones so as not to take photos, and their personal belongings were confiscated.”

The army also attacked Father Filopareer Gamil, one of the leaders of the sit- in, but Coptic protesters shielded him with their bodies.

Wave of bomb blasts target Christians in Baghdad

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:01 pm

It looks like we saved a bunch of Iraqis from the hell of living under Saddam Hussein so Muslim terrorists could declare open season on Christians. In a post on the internet the terrorist group responsible for this latest bombing of a Christian church, as well as previous attacks, has promised an all out war on minority Christians in Iraq. Most Christians have already had to flee their Iraqi homeland because America did little to protect them after major combat operations ended. Lets pray that policy changes, and our forces start protecting the Christian communities and churches in Iraq. Iraq may be an Islamic state, but Christians have historic ties to the land that go back long before Muhammad concocted his murderous religion.

A series of bomb blasts targeting Christians in Baghdad has killed at least three people and injured two dozen more, security sources have said.

At least 14 roadside bombs were detonated and a mortar round was fired in Christian districts across the Iraqi capital last night and early this morning.

An interior ministry source told Reuters that the attacks were a “continuation” of the massacre at Our Lady of Salvation church which killed dozens of worshippers last week.

According to one report, today’s bombings targeted the family of one of the victims of the massacre.

The Islamic State of Iraq – an al-Qaeda front group – claimed responsibility for the Baghdad church attack and warned in a message published on militant websites that more attacks would follow. “We will open upon them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood,” the statement said.

The latest bombings follow protests by Iraqi Christians in Sweden, Australia, Britain, the Netherlands, Germany and America who urged the Iraqi government to do more to protect the country’s minorities.

About 300 protesters at the “Black March” in London called on Britain to remember its historic debt to Iraq’s Aramaic-speaing Assyrian Christians, who fought alongside Britain in two world wars.

“Hate Filled Fanatic” treats Koran like American Flag

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 1:47 pm

Several Americans in New York, Washington, and a few other areas of the country expressed their anger at Islam and it’s violent teachings by burning pages of the Koran, much the same way leftists, Muslims, and others have routinely burned the American flag. It’s a completely different situation, though, because the angry, affected party likes to blow things up and murder people when they are offended.

Have you noticed that a Muslim suicide bomber will attract a moderate amount of media attention, and it only lasts one day, but if a Christian looks at a Koran wrong, it’s all over the news for days, and every pundit on the planet will have an opinion about the “hate filled Christian protester” who dared to rile up the Jihadists.

Bibles are not allowed in Muslim countries. If you try to bring one into an Arab country like Saudi Arabia, it is confiscated and tossed. That’s okay though, because Christians haven’t been tolerant enough of the religion of pieces to deserve any respect or tolerance themselves. In our Godless, secular society tolerance only flows in one direction, and the rules change without warning.

Mosad Almontaser, 55, a teacher from Brooklyn, said it was simply “ugly.”

“Is that supposed to bring people together? What’s the point? I thought that was horrible. It helps no one,” he said.

Why is it that the secular and non-Christian segments of society always expect Christians to bring people together, even while they accuse us of being the most intolerant people on the planet? If a Muslim burns an American flag, or burns our President in effigy, it’s because Christians haven’t done enough to bring people together. If a Christian burns pages of the Koran, once again, they aren’t doing enough to bring people together. We can’t win. I have an idea. Why don’t Muslims stop murdering people with wild abandon around the world, and show some respect for other cultures and religions. Then maybe Christians wouldn’t be putting themselves, their families, and their way of life in danger when they do try to “bring people together”.

Judge Forces Obama Admin to Stop Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 3:47 pm

I firmly believe that Obama thinks he was elected King. Never have I seen a president abuse executive orders to the extent that Obama is attempting to do. I’m glad to see that at least one judge finally ruled that the President can’t ignore federal law and create contradictory legislation via executive order. I predict this won’t stop him from trying, especially when Republicans take over congress in November. As Obama said several times, “He won!”, and the separation of powers means nothing to him. It’s incredibly sad that anyone in this country still supports this man in his agenda to transform America. Nothing good will come from a transformation in keeping with the Marxist values of our narcissistic President.

A federal judge on Monday issued a decision forcing the Obama administration to stop funding embryonic stem cell research with taxpayer funds. The judge ruled the executive order Obama issued allowing such funding contravened a federal law prohibiting taxpayer funding of the destruction of human embryos.

Court orders Christian child into government education

Filed under: — Jennifer Rast @ 6:24 am

This article makes me so angry, I’m at a loss for words (I’ll likely find them, if I keep writing), other than to say, when did our country become Communist China? Next it will be considered child abuse to teach our children about the Bible. America desperately needs to fight back and use the remedies provided in the constitution for getting rid of anti-Christian, bigoted judges! Christians also need to get off their duffs and fight back against this kind of discrimination wherever it exists. It’ll be you and your your children next, so wake up, and speak up!

A 10-year-old homeschool girl described as “well liked, social and interactive with her peers, academically promising and intellectually at or superior to grade level” has been told by a New Hampshire court official to attend a government
school because she was too “vigorous” in defense of her Christian faith.

The decision from Marital Master Michael Garner reasoned that the girl’s “vigorous defense of her religious beliefs to [her] counselor suggests strongly that she has not had the opportunity to seriously consider any other point of view.”

The recommendation was approved by Judge Lucinda V. Sadler, but it is being challenged by attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund, who said it was “a step too far” for any court.

The ADF confirmed today it has filed motions with the court seeking reconsideration of the order and a stay of the decision sending the 10-year-old student in government-run schools in Meredith, N.H.

The dispute arose as part of a modification of a parenting plan for the girl. The parents divorced in 1999 when she was a newborn, and the mother has homeschooled her daughter since first grade with texts that meet all state standards.

In addition to homeschooling, the girl attends supplemental public school classes and has also been involved in a variety of extra-curricular sports activities, the ADF reported.

But during the process of negotiating the terms of the plan, a guardian ad litem appointed to participate concluded the girl “appeared to reflect her mother’s rigidity on questions of faith” and that the girl’s interests “would be best served by exposure to a public school setting” and “different points of view at a time when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief … in order to select, as a young adult, which of those systems will best suit her own needs.”

According to court documents, the guardian ad litem earlier had told the mother, “If I want her in public school, she’ll be in public school.”

The marital master hearing the case proposed the Christian girl be ordered into public school after considering “the impact of [her religious] beliefs on her interaction with others.”

In other words, if the government wants your child to be an atheist, they’ll be an atheist. Unless Christians make sure the entire country knows we exist in the form of a MAJORITY, this will become the norm.
Get out of your pews, send money to legal organizations that defend Christians, tell your friends and neighbors what’s really going on in our court rooms, and write or call your state and federal legislators when you see garbage like this. These are just a few of the things you can do. Christians also need to start running for public office, and stop letting liberals control our schools and local governments. Most importantly, know who you’re voting for. That includes judges.

came off the ACLU’s steamroller. While we are pleased with the ruling, we are saddened that a wonderful woman had to spend a day in court, with the ACLU’s crosshairs aimed at her back. Prayer is neither contemptuous nor criminal. It is outrageous that the ACLU sought civil contempt charges against an outstanding woman whose husband prayed a beautiful prayer at a privately sponsored event held off campus. The ACLU needs to take a good dose
of the First Amendment and call us in the morning,” he said.

The fight isn’t over, even though a judge ruled against them, and rightly upheld a private citizens right to bless their food before they eat it.

The fight, however, remains far from over.

Principal Frank Lay

On Sept. 17, Liberty Counsel is scheduled to return to court to defend Principal Frank Lay and Robert Freeman, the athletic director, from charges of criminal contempt for praying over a meal at an event for private contributors to the school’s athletic program.

Staver will defend Lay and Freeman. According to FoxNews.com both school officials are at risk of being given jail time and having their retirement savings
revoked by the state.

Accusations against the two stem from a blessing of a meal at a separate luncheon to honor private contributors to the athletic program, LC said.

The war against the school employees erupted when the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the district and Rodgers issued a broadly worded injunction regarding prayer and religious activities at school.

The event Winkler attended, and for which she was charged, was a privately funded event off campus after school hours to honor district workers. She was accompanied by her husband, who read a prayer blessing.

Those great men who wrote our constitution are rolling over in their graves at what has become of a large portion of this country. We must fight this kind of discrimination and harassment everywhere it exists. And, the ACLU should be forced to pay the legal fees of every person they falsely accuse out of a disgusting hatred of anything related to Christianity. We still have freedom of religion and speech in this country, and the ACLU must be forced to accept that.
