GERMANS/MUSLIMS ?
September 28, 8:05 pm
I am leaving my last post up and below this one: they are related topics. I will begin with an excerpt from an open letter by a Jewess who was a survivor of Hitler's Germany. Here is the quote:
"The teachers in German schools began to teach the children to sing songs in praise of Hitler. This was the beginning of the Hitler Youth movement. It began with praise of the Fuhrer’s programs on the lips of innocent children. Hymns in praise of Hitler and his programs were being sung in the schoolrooms and in the play-yard. Little girls and boys joined hands and sang these songs as they walked home from school."
Does it sound like in an American (government-run) public school anything like that would be even possible? Could lost people be so crass as to fill the minds of impressionable young children with garbage about Obama? Would they even dare to (in song) compare him to God? (Jesus) Well, let's see. On Youtube you can see the video clip of several young students being taught to sing praises to Obama as if he were God. This was recorded in New Jersey at the B. Bernice Young elementary school. Keep in mind the last two words of that sentence: "elementary school." This was and is being done without the parents of the students knowledge or consent.
(Here are the words to the song)
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama
Don't you just love that fourth stanza... Obama and Jesus must be one. It honestly makes me want to throw up. A son of the devil like Obama being compared to the Son of Glory, Jesus the Christ.
History is repeating itself and this time instead of Hitler leading Germany into destruction it will be Obama leading America into its great fall. It's also noteworthy that both men hated the Jews, who are God's chosen people. Obama traveled overseas and bowed himself before a towel-head who was also a Muslim while refusing to stop in Israel and visit what is supposed to be our only true ally in the Middle East. Some of you people who voted for this son of Belial need to wake up!
Read what I posted two weeks ago in the post that is below. They are eerily similar, especially when you consider the story I just wrote about had not yet made the news. History, and terrible history, is about to repeat itself!

Some quotes by men are destined to be proven prophetic, and this is done by comparing the past to the present. Also, at least for this particular blog I am not speaking of the Holy Writ as being prophetic: of course we know that it is. For this blog I am using a quote and a copy of a written letter from a very common man to show that if we do not consider the hard lessons of history, then we will repeat the very same errors of the past.
Here is the remarkable and prophetic quote by Arthur Pinero. Please read it carefully and then read an open letter he wrote to be placed in the newspaper: first the quote: "The future is only the past again, entered through another gate."
Following the sinking of the RMS Lusitania by German U-boat on 7 May 1915, Pinero wrote to The Times calling on naturalised British citizens of German origin to make public statements of their loyalty to the King and reject German's methods of warfare:
Sir—The sinking of the Lusitania, involving the cruel murder of hundreds of helpless and innocent non-combatants, affords those Germans who are naturalized British citizens holding prominent positions in this country an opportunity of performing an act which, even in the opinion of many who bear them no particular ill-will, is long overdue. We are in the tenth month on a war which has from the beginning been carried on by Germany with almost unspeakable treachery and vileness; but up to the present time not a single one of the distinguished Germans in our midst has thought fit to make a public avowal of his disagreement with the deliberate policy of barbarism pursued by the German Powers or to utter a word of indignation and disclaimer. Surely the moment has arrived when these gentlemen, in their own interests, if for no higher reason, should break silence and individually or collectively raise their voices against the infamous deeds which are being perpetrated by Germany. I venture to suggest that they might with propriety band together and present a loyal address to the King embracing an expression of their detestation of Germany's methods of warfare; but perhaps this may be better left to their own discretion and good feeling. What I would emphasize, however, is that continued silence on their part lays them open to the supposition that, thinking that the fate of England is hanging in the balance, they are—to use the common phrase—sitting on the gate. A word of warning, therefore, is neither gratuitous nor unfriendly. The temper of this country, slow to rouse, is becoming an ugly one. The gate may fall from its hinges.
"The future is only the past again, entered through another gate."
Keep that quote in mind as I repeat (mostly verbatim) his open letter to the Times: I will only be changing five words; the name of the crime committed, (Lusitania/World Trade Towers) guilty perpetrators, (Germans to Muslims) duration of war, (ten months/eight years) the reigning power, (king/presdient) and the name of the injured country: (England to America).
Sir—The bombing of the World Trade Towers, involving the cruel murder of hundreds of helpless and innocent non-combatants, affords those Muslims who are naturalized American citizens holding prominent positions in this country an opportunity of performing an act which, even in the opinion of many who bear them no particular ill-will, is long overdue. We are in the eighth year on a war which has from the beginning been carried on by Muslims with almost unspeakable treachery and vileness; but up to the present time not a single one of the distinguished Muslims in our midst has thought fit to make a public avowal of his disagreement with the deliberate policy of barbarism pursued by the Muslim Powers or to utter a word of indignation and disclaimer. Surely the moment has arrived when these gentlemen, in their own interests, if for no higher reason, should break silence and individually or collectively raise their voices against the infamous deeds which are being perpetrated by Muslims. I venture to suggest that they might with propriety band together and present a loyal address to the president embracing an expression of their detestation of Muslim's methods of warfare; but perhaps this may be better left to their own discretion and good feeling. What I would emphasize, however, is that continued silence on their part lays them open to the supposition that, thinking that the fate of America is hanging in the balance, they are—to use the common phrase—sitting on the gate. A word of warning, therefore, is neither gratuitous nor unfriendly. The temper of this country, slow to rouse, is becoming an ugly one. The gate may fall from its hinges.
As news is again breaking about more Muslim terror suspects being arrested in our midst read again Pinero's ominous words because they might be fulfilled again in our own country, and this time the only names that will be substituted for American internment camps are Japanese/Muslims. Remember... "The future is only the past again, entered through another gate."
It's far past due for Muslim's who are not in league with the lost and vicious bombers of the innocent to stand and decry their evil ways! Your repeated silence when these deplorable acts are carried out is deafening! Soon, very soon, you might have to pay far more than you ever thought possible for your continued inaction.

ECCLESIASTES 11:3
Have you ever wondered what causes people to remember someone differently in death, than what they actually were in life? Do you suppose it is because they too would like the same kindness when it is their turn to die? It is not a question I have an answer to, and the reason for that is because the answer might be somewhat different for each person. However, if that is a human emotion or anomaly, remembering someone differently between life and death, it is not an attribute that is shared by God. Ecclesiastes 11:3 "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." Read again the last twenty-two words of that verse... "if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be." Now pay very close attention to the last eleven words of that verse..."in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be."
Of course this is an allegory for dying either as a believer or as an unbeliever. Whatever your state is as you draw your last breath... so shall it ever be like that. The very last message in the Bible states it rather succinctly. Revelation 22:11a "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still..." My point in all of this is that dying does not somehow make anyone a better person than they were in life!
The reason I sat down to type this is because I was watching some people talking about the life of Ted Kennedy and they were talking about him as if he lived a good life. I had to turn it off. Who do they think they were fooling?
He was no better in death than he was in life. I hate what members of the Westboro church does whenever they go to funerals and with their signs they add anguish to people who are attending a funeral. Though I would never do anything as despicable as that, neither would I gloss over the bad things that people did in their life before dying.
Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne: he was an abusive alcoholic, and he was a driving force behind seeing millions of innocent and helpless babies murdered in our country through infanticide! He was not a "good" man in life and dying made him no better... "in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be."
Whenever I say someone is evil, I don't base my belief upon the opinion of some liberal talking-head, I go to the source and I will use their own words or actions to prove it. What follows is just a partial list of Kennedy's voting record to show what a monster he was as far as trying to protect a helpless and innocent un-birthed baby:
Voted NO on defining unborn child as eligible for SCHIP. (Mar 2008)
Voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion. (Mar 2008)
Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Apr 2007)
Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions. (Jul 2006)
Voted NO on criminal penalty for harming unborn fetus during other crime. (Mar 2004)
Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions except for maternal life. (Mar 2003)
Voted NO on maintaining ban on Military Base Abortions. (Jun 2000)
Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions. (Oct 1999)
Voted NO on banning human cloning. (Feb 1998)
Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record. (Dec 2003)
Expand embryonic stem cell research. (Jun 2004)
As you can see, from long ago to right up until he died his voting record was the same, evil to the core!
Let me ask those of you who say that you are "Christian" just a couple of questions. What does the term "Christian" mean to you? Do you believe that "Christ-like" (or) "like-Christ" would be a fair description? If you believe that would not do the word (Christian) injustice to use it with that understanding then let me ask you something else. How Christ-like do you believe it is for a doctor to dismember a helpless baby while still in his/her mother's womb? Now I never wore a WWJD bracelet: however, apply the sentiment "what would Jesus do" as it relates to killing His own heritage while still in the womb of the baby's mother: then (perhaps) you can see why I believe Kennedy, Obama, Clinton, and most every other Democrat in Washington who regularly writes bills to kill more children are evil deep within their souls.
Whenever I write about people who kill children being evil I am not (always) accusing a girl who made a horrible decision with terrible consequences and had her own baby killed. At least I am not accusing them as long as they sought forgiveness from God and now tries to spread the word about how tragic it is to kill a helpless baby. The ones who I believe are "monsters" are the ones like Obama, Kennedy, etc. who makes it a part of their life's work to keep it legal to see the most helpless among us murdered!
Let me finish this blog with an easy to understand analogy. Lay aside any and all other sin and things we must (upon our death) answer to God for. Keep in mind we are trying to concentrate on only one single subject at this time. If your appointment with death was in the next thirty seconds... then you must face an all-powerful God: would you rather face Him having tried your best to defend and protect helpless un-birthed children, or would you rather face Him with the blood of their little bodies on your hands?

A LESSON LEARNED
September 11, 2009 8:46 am (eight years later)
The first plane hit the World Trade Tower at 8:46 am. This most certainly would begin a day of infamy that well would rival December 7, 1941. Just like then, this day would mark another sneak attack by a bunch of heathen cowards.
This day should not be commemorated by a “work day” which was offered by a man bereft of good ideas... Obama. This day ought to be a day of remembrance of everything which transpired that day and we ought to be reminded that we are still engaged in a battle between heathen Muslim fundamentalists and the rest of the world.
While it is true that the battle is still yet abroad, freedom-loving Americans have a great deal to fear from president Barack Hussein Obama. The average American's ability to easily communicate with each other, and the rest of the world, is in the process of being stripped away. I am going to quote a recent news story in its entirety to prove this point.
Before I do that though let me ask you what one thing all totalitarian governments have in common? Of course their leaders are all heathen men and lost, including our own leader: but I am looking for the one thing they all do in order to control their people. The answer: they control all communication! Newspapers, radio, Internet, etc. By doing this they can spoon-feed their people only the hogwash they want them to have. This is exactly what North Korea, China, Cuba, and many other countries are doing at this present time.
After the war started and before Iraq was liberated, Hussein had been publicly broadcasting that the American invaders were being repelled by the “brave” soldiers of Iraq. Of course the truth was that even the vaunted Republican Guard troops were being handed defeat by the American soldiers as they were being chased and killed, yet with almost no allied loss of life.
Now, how do you suppose Hussein was able to, for awhile, deceive his people? He controlled all communication within the country, so he could easily lie to them. At least until American tanks rolled into the capital city and Hussein's own countrymen began to topple his statues. The reason I am telling you this is because under Obama we are on the same road. At least as far as a dictator (wannabe) desiring to control internal communication.
I am going to include a story (verbatim) on what the (hopeful) czar of America (Obama) would like to see happen... control all media outlets and make sure the citizens of America are misinformed. The bill I am going to discuss would offer Obama emergency control of the Internet by giving him a "kill switch" to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks — a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties: as reported by Fox News. (Now-- to the news story)
Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 emerged late on Thursday, months after an initial version authored by senator Jay Rockefeller was blasted in Silicon Valley as dangerous government intrusion. "In the original bill they empowered the president to essentially turn off the INTERNET in the case of a 'cyber-emergency', which they didn't define," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which represents the telecommunications industry. "We think it's a very bad idea ... to put in legislation," FOX News quoted him as saying.
Clinton said the new version of the bill that surfaced this week is improved from its first draft, but troubling language that was removed was replaced by vague language that could still offer the same powers to the president in case of an emergency.
"The current language is so unclear that we can't be confident that the changes have actually been made," he said.
The new legislation allows the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and make a plan to respond to the danger, according to an excerpt — a broad license that rights experts worry would give the president "amorphous powers" over private users.
If the above story I copied and placed in today's blog doesn't bother you... it should. You see, I believe on a limited scale they are already attempting this. Very easily they can control all access to the Internet by shutting down the servers... that would be easy. Although I believe that is what will happen in the short term... shut down everyone: I think in the long term they will only allow those who are not critical of a socialist government to ever get back up and running.
I try to stay in contact with people in different parts of the country. So far I have heard from people who live in California, New York, and Florida, and in those areas and at sundry times all of them are experiencing problems accessing the Internet: email accounts, Facebook, Twitter, etc., and all of this is happening only within the last six-month period, where it wasn't happening before.
My point is I believe someone in government is already experimenting to see if they can shut down individual accounts, yet on a mass scale. To see if I am correct about problems accessing accounts where there were not problems before... start emailing and talking to friends you have in different parts of the country and see if they also are experiencing problems as well?
Just a question. If you had never before experienced problems accessing all types of mass communication on the Internet until Congress began discussing a “kill switch,” (as a viable option for the presidents to use) don't you think it is more than coincidence that users all over the country are now complaining about different times when they seem to be “locked out” of all of their accounts?
For the sake of argument, let's say I am wrong: all across the country Internet users inability to access their accounts is nothing more than a serious and unexplained glitch in the system: even if that is true, it is also still true that liberal Democrats are presently drafting bills to allow Obama to lock everyone out of the Internet at his sole discretion! That my friend is a power (controlling a nation's ability to communicate and receive news) that only despots in Communists countries seek to wield over their people.
Greek culture, nearly two centuries before the birth of Christ, used smoke-signals to pass information on to those who lived far away. I can't imagine smoke-signals today would be a good option, unless you used the smoke from a burning DC... just kidding! However, I do think it might be a good idea to try and find a low-tech option for passing on pertinent information when the (hopeful) czar of DC kills mass communication on the Internet. Can anyone say... ham radio?

I have always been interested in numbers. When I was in fifth grade I developed a love for higher- mathematics. A friend of mine, Ron Maines, had an older sibling who was in college and whenever I would sleep over at Ron's house we would pore over those textbooks on Algebra, Integral Calculus, Chemistry, etc. It was at that time that I learned about Newton, Alhacen, Kowa, and other great mathematicians.
After I got saved and began to study the Bible I came to believe that God designed the universe and today keeps it in operation by mathematic probabilities and principles. And God said, ...de/dt-div(curl)E=mc2-B/(muO)F=Gm,m2/d2-Zn+1=Z2/n=C ...and there was light!
In the second chapter of the book MEI SERMO (I wrote) I used a formula for Light. Of course I have no way of knowing what formula He used to create and keep everything in operation, but I do believe creation is based on fundamental and true laws of science and mathematics known only to God. (Within my made-up formula for light there are two very famous theories in play, the rest is just gobbledygook.)
Bible believers never have anything to fear from true-science. It is today's pseudo-scientific silliness promulgated by lost men who have a God-less agenda in their minds before they ever do any research that is in opposition to the things of God.
Almost all of the great thinkers in our history were men who held a deep and indefatigable belief in a Supreme God who created the universe. Men like Newton falls into the category of deeply religious but lost. While other men like Faraday, perhaps the greatest scientist who ever lived, were dedicated followers of Christ. Read his words that he spoke which were taken from his exhortation delivered in London on July 7, 1861 he closed with this statement: "And therefore, brethren, we ought to value the privilege of knowing God's truth far beyond anything we can have in this world. The more we see the perfection of God's law fulfilled in Christ, the more we ought to thank God for His unspeakable gift." (All that I can add to Faraday's statement is, "Amen, and amen!")
I guess I like numbers because they never lie and as long as we understand the formula they will always work out the same way. Whether it is the second law of thermodynamics or the law of probabilities: at least for me this speaks of an ordered universe and that in turn speaks to a very ordered God who has everything in control.
09/09/09 is in fact just another day: however, at least for me I again find special significance in numbers and dates because it always makes me think more on the things of God and His magnificent understanding!
Isaiah 55:7-9 (7) "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (8) "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," saith the LORD. (9) "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." GOD IS GREAT!

AMERICA IN DECLINE
September 4, 1:00 a.m.
Yesterday, not long after writing a funny comment on FB from Shakespeare (in a play he wrote where Lord Chief-Justice rebukes Falstaff for portraying himself in the camp of the young) I was asked why I read about these men and women of long ago? The short answer would be that it interests me. The long answer is that I can tell by reading their writings what the mores of the people were during their era, and because of that I can more accurately gauge how much longer America has to stand as a nation. And that answer... drum roll please... according to history, is not much longer.
Before I explain that let me give you (in part) some of the lines in this play... they are quite funny.
Falstaff: “You that are old consider not the capacities of us that are young...”
Lord Chief Justice: “Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age? Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity, and will you yet call yourself young?” (I don't care who you are, that description of Falstaff and old-age in general is just plain funny. I especially love... “a decreasing leg, an increasing belly?” ... “your chin double, your wit single...” (roflol))
Falstaff: “My lord, I was born about three of the clock in the afternoon, with a white head, and
something of a round belly. For my voice, I have lost it with hollaing, and singing of anthems. To approve my youth further, I will not: the truth is, I am only old in judgment and under-standing...”
Enough of Shakespeare, he was deviant in his personal life, it is just that he wrote some hysterical lines.
Sinful behaviour, from individuals to a collective whole... always begins as secret sin. Example: Cain killing his brother and hiding his body. In other words, he tried to keep his sin secret. America used to be that way. Everyone knew that this nation, as well as all other nations, had terrible sins its people were hiding. The reason for this is that all men are sinners, as such... we sin. God understands that and has provided a remedy... Jesus the Christ! “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)
I write that part to only say that a sin-cure, which is an acceptance of Christ by an individual will lead to eternal life for that individual: however, we know that a nation of people will not repent and believe. Because of that fact, as nations “age” its people (which are comprised in overwhelming numbers of the lost and damned) become more ungodly and in the open with their sins. From Sodom, to Rome, to America... the end is always near when deviant behaviour is on public display and is coddled by even those who would not themselves be debased by such practices.
I want to quote just two paragraphs on the Roman Empire's change (over time) in their thoughts as it related to homosexuality. This might help everyone see how we, as individuals to a nation, go from condemnation of sinful behaviour... to acceptance... and finally to embracing and defending deviant behaviour.
“Homosexuality in ancient Rome features in many literary works, poems, graffiti and comments on the sexual predilections of single emperors. Graphic representations are, on the other hand, rarer in ancient Rome than in classical Greece. Attitudes toward homosexuality changed over time and from context to context, ranging from strong condemnation to quite open acceptance. Indeed, it was also purported to be one of the cultural facts of certain provinces.”
“In the early Roman Republic, pederasty with freeborn boys was considered a degenerate Greek practice and as such was generally condemned. As Greek attitudes gradually became accepted in Rome during the late Republic and early Empire, however, a new form of same-sex relations emerged that was quite different from homosexuality in ancient Greece, but owed much to it. As men, particularly the pater familias, wielded complete authority in Roman society.”
Are you also aware that until 1973 homosexuality was designated as a mental illness, and "homosexual" was used by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) to denote men affected by this mental illness. Of course, all of that changed when Americans began to embrace all manner of sinful behaviour. Keep in mind though that God never changes... only sinful people become more so: until their death and the judgement which awaits.
Let's look at a couple of facts. Are you aware that there was not a single death in America from AIDS during the time that homosexuality was considered aberrant behaviour indulged in by the mentally ill? Within three years of the medical association declaring that homosexuality was not because of mental illness... a “gay plague” began to decimate homosexuals throughout America. Within seven years of the reclassification of homosexuality being an acceptable “alternate lifestyle” there was a name given to this “gay cancer” … AIDS.
Didn't something else also happen in 1973 that began America on it pernicious slide into the dustbin of history? That's correct... we started “legally” killing God's heritage that same year. I would like to present a couple of important time-lines in the fall of America as “one nation under God.”
Consider just this fact alone. Less than forty years ago in this country it was a crime to kill an un-birthed helpless baby. Now, we butcher them by the millions as callously as if they were hogs led to the slaughter.
Also consider that from 1635, the first year of public school in America, until 1963 (the year prayer and God was no longer welcome in the classroom) covers a period of 328 years... and all of those years there wasn't a single incident of one student killing another by shooting up a classroom. Now lets look at the last 46 years since God has been kicked out of the public school system.
Keep in mind... 328 years of God as an invited guest... no massacres in the public schools. Just 46 years without him and we have 44 shootings in 28 different states with 120 murders and 169 students being shot but surviving. And ignorant people ask, “Where is God in all of this?” He isn't present folks... you kicked Him out and the devil filled the void God created by His absence.
So, let's recap: no death from Aids while homosexuality was practiced in secret and was looked upon as mental illness. No massacres in the public school during the 328 period that God was an invited guest in the classroom. Our mainland had never known an attack on our own soil by a heathen enemy until the 28th year of this country butchering God's heritage while still helpless in the womb, and Ruby-Ridge, along with Waco were just names on a map. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7)
What insanity and hubris for any American to believe that because we "call" ourselves a Christian nation that He will automatically bless us. Please read your Bible and see what He both "caused" and "allowed" to happen to the children of Israel because of their disobedience, and their sinful ways. If God allowed calamity to happen to the Jews, His chosen people: how can anyone believe it will not happen to us in America? I say, "Look around you... it is already happening."
I want to tell you a quick story to illustrate the above point. There was an innkeeper who was well-known for always giving free room and board to traveling clergy. A "preacher" dropped in one night and ate, drank, and entertained people in the dining hall before retiring for the evening. The next morning as he was preparing to leave he was given a full-bill for what he had drank, eaten, and his room. He said, "I don't understand, I thought you provided for traveling preachers?" And the innkeeper said, "I usually do... however, last evening you drank, ate, and talked like a sinner, so, today you will pay like a sinner." America states they are a "Christian" people... however, we kill God's heritage, we promote homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, we tell God that we don't want His Son prayed to or talked about in the government ran public schools... yet we don't like "paying the bill" which is now due because of all of our national sins.
Soon it will be Obama's turn to play the lyre while America burns. You see, history is always forced to repeat itself... that is if you don't learn from it. In reality only the names of the actors on the stage and the country's they live in change: (Nero/Rome... Obama/America) sin though, always remains the same. The fact that nations fall when sin escalates will again be proven true. Soon, history will be forced to repeat itself and this time it will be in the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Whether or not Edmund Burke was the one who originally coined, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” is immaterial: the point is that the quote is accurate. Far too long those who are born-again have sat on the sidelines while the mentally ill has dominated mainstream teaching.
Homosexuality and its practice is a choice: just like the killing of an un-birthed child is also a choice. Isn't infanticide called, “pro-choice?” Both homosexuality and abortion are bad and terribly wrong: and both are clear and inexcusable choices.
Just a question to help you understand the practice of homosexuality as a “choice.” How many ex Blacks are you aware of? And please (I know what you are thinking because it was my first thought also as I was typing the question) no Michael Jackson jokes! How many ex Hispanics can you name? You see, there are thousands of ex homosexuals in this country alone. That is because homosexuality (unlike being born with a certain skin color) is and forevermore will be, a choice: bad though it is... it is still a choice.
I believe that God might have already said of America the same words He gave to His prophet Hosea: Hosea 8:7a “ For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind...” America... are you ready for the coming terrible storm?
I will finish this blog today with another verse from God's Holy Book. Psalm 9:17 “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”

LIARS
September 2, 9:23 a.m.
There are many false prophets and false teachers within Christendom today. Most, I believe, fill the television airwaves on a daily basis. There is though, according to the Bible a very easy test to tell they are not sent from God... they prophesy falsely. That is... what they say and predict does not come to pass.
If you are a follower of any person other than Christ and if you want to know if God speaks to these people, then apply Deuteronomy 18:20-22 to
all of their teachings! It amazes me that someone will still follow and believe a teacher or preacher who has made past predictions which have failed. Keep in mind that only
one prophesy has to fail in order for us to know that he (or she) is a lying prophet and not sent from God.
I know of a local group which follows a man, believing him to be a god, and I have (written) copies of several past predictions he made which failed. Do you know what this group has done about this? Instead of applying the Bible to his predictions and then admitting their leader was a false teacher... they simply expunged his false predictions from later books they wrote about him. Can you imagine any honest follower of Christ doing something like this? In addition to their leader not being from God, it also speaks of their own lack of conversion in that they will try to deceive people in the future who does not have a copy of this man's original failed teachings.
In addition to a much smaller group like what I just wrote about... there are much larger groups of people who are also following a leader who was not sent from God. Example: Seventh-day Advent, Mormons, and JW's. How do I know these people and the groups they founded were not sent from God? It is easy... I applied Deuteronomy 18:20-22 to predictions made by Ellen White, Joseph Smith Jr., and Charles Russell. In addition to other bad teachings, each one of these people falsely predicted the return of Christ. Incidentally, so did the above false leader I first referenced. Remember... I have copies of his earlier false predictions. I also have copies of the later writings where his failed predictions have been expunged by dishonest sons and daughters of Belial.
Many years ago I first became interested and studied (major to minor) cults throughout the world. Recently I just finished (in total) 16 (more) hours and 27 (more) pages of typed material exposing some of these people and their teachings.
Though, I, by the grace of God, would never be so foolish as to predict an exact time the Lord will return... I believe we are very close.
