Quote# 108818

Until recent decades, the American pulpit embraced a revolutionary purpose as curator and exponent of the “whole counsel of God,” resulting in a ubiquitous, healthy fear of God among the American people. Colonial ministers were chief advocates of the political ideology embodied in our nation’s Founding Charters. The historical evidence is irrefutable: the colonial pulpit, set ablaze by the Great Awakening, became the Foundry of America’s Charters of Freedom. Modern historians have confirmed that the rights asserted in our Founding Charters were preached from colonial pulpits in the fifteen years that culminated in the Battle of Lexington. The clergy were not just spectators that cheered from the sideline of the Rebellion. They stood out among chief agitators of the Revolution, and after it began, among the most successful in keeping revolutionary ardor alive, both from the pulpit and on the battlefield.

Today’s Pulpit, however, has forgotten its legacy and largely abandoned the inconvenient truths of Scripture that engender the fear of God and behavior that is conducive to Liberty, opting instead for market-driven “messaging” that scratches itching ears, and anesthetizes consciences. Much of that which passes for Bible-based preaching today is devoid of power to convince hearts of sin and restore broken lives. In the quest for a more palatable way to maintain attendance and charitable revenue, American pulpits are unwittingly “hewing out cisterns” (Jeremiah 2:13) that cannot retain an enduring move of the Holy Spirit, and produce washed-out salt in the pew, that Jesus warned would be “good for nothing” but road salt, to be “tossed out and trodden underfoot of men.”

[...]

The essential meaning of Liberty is beyond the reach of unregenerate minds, because they are controlled by “the prince of the power of the air.” (Ephesians 2:2) The popular notion that ministers and their flocks ought to avoid active involvement in “the dirty business of politics,” or limit their interaction with government to the voting booth, comes not from God, but is a damnable heresy conceived by the prince of darkness. The Church in America has largely abandoned its curative mission in government, precisely because it has been indoctrinated by the pulpit, which has allowed itself to be indoctrinated and its voice constrained by a practical gnosis that originated with the spirit of the age working in and through the children of tyranny.

The Pulpit’s failure to equip God’s flock with the knowledge needed to steward the “Blessings of Liberty to itself and to its Posterity,” has facilitated their antipathy toward electoral politics and, for the abysmal few that do participate in elections, unwitting support for “wolves in sheep’s clothing” in the voting booth. The failure to equip God’s Flock with a biblical worldview, is a failure to shepherd them to safe haven (i.e. “green pastures”) where they are able to lie down in the presence of their enemies and be nourished by “every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4) Neglect of this ecclesial duty is tantamount to fattening sheep for slaughter.

America will indeed perish unless her pulpits quickly rediscover their Founding legacy and become the “pulpits aflame with righteousness” that French philosopher Alexander de Tocqueville astutely observed and reported in his time as the reason for America’s “greatness and genius.” Revolutionary pulpits, garrisoned by men of courage and conviction, the Black Robe Regiments of America, are the only thing that can save the American Republic now.

Who contributes to the information on this site?  What are their backgrounds and testimonies?  How did they come to arrive at these conclusions about God?  What are their spiritual journeys like?

We get asked these questions a lot, and we’re not going to answer any of them.  Why not?  Because we want you to learn how to think critically about what you are being taught.

When Christian teachers try to impress you with their dramatic testimonials, or they tell you what denomination they are from, they are encouraging you to trust in irrelevant things.  A denomination is just a brand.  For all you know, they are lying about their testimonies.

As soon as a so-called prophet says, “I’ve received a vision from God”, what happens?  Christians check their brains at the door and just blindly believe.  As soon as a preacher wows you with his stats and his dramatic conversion story, you start thinking, “This guy must really know what he’s talking about,” and you stop seeking confirmation from the Holy Spirit.  This is no good.

We don’t want you to trust us.  We don’t want you to assume everything we say is right just because we’re the ones saying it.  We want you to grow strong in your own walk with God, and that means you need to question EVERYTHING.  You need to pray about EVERYTHING.  You need to remember that God is the ONLY Authority on God.

Today when a tornado devastates some town in Midwest America, how do we explain it? Random chance. Bad luck. An unfortunate coincidence. Do you see the problem? The nation of America is an atheistic nation. Sure we toss out the term “God” now and then, but when it comes to explaining the weather, no one really believes that there is a conscious Being at work behind the scenes. Sometimes we jokingly say “Mother Nature was angry,” but we don’t really think there is some supernatural, feminine force that is invested in which of our towns go down. What we really believe down in our cores is that life is a series of random events. We believe tornadoes are simply by-products of certain kinds of storm systems.

In the last few years, Matthew Hagee has used his weekly "Hagee Hotline" program to warn that the striking down of DOMA, Obamacare, climate change, Ebola, a shooting at the Naval Yard, and a shooting in Canada's parliament were all signs of the End Times.

On yesterday's program, Hagee added last weekend's shootout between rival motorcycle gangs in Waco, Texas, to the list.

"One of the things that I believe is important to point out in this situation is that the Bible says that in the End Times, lawlessness would abound," Hagee said. "When these kinds of events take place, one word seems to describe them: lawlessness"

Up to 3,000 Yazidi girls have now been brought to Raqqa, an IS stronghold in Syria, and locked up in brothels, which are managed by an all-woman religious police force, known as the al-Khanssaa Brigade, according to the Mirror.

"These women are using barbaric interpretations of the Islamic faith to justify their actions," a source told the paper.

"They believe the militants can use these women as they please as they are non-Muslims."

Eyewitness, Zaid Al Fares, previously told IBTimes UK that in Raqqa the al-Khanssaa Brigade has around 50 fighters affiliated to IS, which until recently patrolled the city's streets pursuing women, who broke IS sharia law and enforced legal marriages to Islamist fighters.

The leaders of the battalion are said to be a group of female British jihadists, who are running the brothels.

"It is the British women who have risen to the top of the Islamic State's sharia police and now they are in charge of this operation," the source said.

"It is as bizarre as it is perverse."

Dr. Ian R.K. Paisley is one of the most respected men in protestant circles. Dr. Paisley has written many impressive works exposing the hellish Catholic religion, and I commend him for that. However, the protestant faith has become a cult in itself. Show me in the Word of God where we're supposed to be "protestants." We're supposed to follow Christ, not a group of people who have come out of the Great Whore of Catholicism.

Few protestants are willing to admit that they ARE "harlots" of the Great Mother Whore. The Whore has many children; such as, the Lutherans, Episcopalians, the Westminster Confession, United Methodist, etc. One false religion has begat another. And in the case of Presbyterians, not a false religion; but, they adhere to several false Romanism doctrines. The Lutheran religion is found to be a damnable atrocity when placed under the piercing Truth of the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12). Although Mr. Paisley is not as bad as the Lutherans, he still promotes false doctrines which are not found in the Scriptures.

Re: Miscegenation: A Biblical Perspective

Sin is sin but if I had to categorize sin from the worst to the least miscegenation would be one of the top three along with child molestation and abortion. It's even worse than homosexuality because of the progeny produced. Homosexuals just die without leaving any offspring. I've disowned some members of my own family for having married outside of their race. I have a strong, healthy Germanic nephew who married a pea brained Mexican and they now have three children together. I did everything I could to influence him into the CI mentality and even took him to an Aryan Nations gathering back in the late 1980s. I don't know where he went wrong but he's lost to me know. I'll have nothing to do with him unless and until he "puts away" (as the Bible calls it) his wife and turns from his wickedness.

HOW ANGELS And "FATE" CONTROL YOU

They can't control your thoughts but they can alter your body chemistry to manipulate your moods and emotions. Have you ever lacked the motivation to do something very important and your life was altered because of it? That was them. Have you ever been extremely upset about something minor which caused you to make a life changing decision? That's how they push you at the path they decided. Almost every time you've felt an unfamiliar or surprising emotion, it was them controlling you.

Quote# 108799

Only two hours after Louisiana’s state legislature squashed a law that would have allowed businesses to discriminate against same-sex couples, Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal issued an executive order to accomplish its intent.

“In Louisiana, the state should not be able to take adverse action against a person for their belief in traditional marriage,” Jindal said.
Story Continued Below

HB 707, which would have blocked the government from penalizing companies because of the owner’s stance on same-sex marriage, was defeated in the state house’s Civil Law and Procedure over fears that it legalized discrimination against LGBT people.

“We don’t support discrimination in Louisiana and we do support religious liberty. These two values can be upheld at the same time,” the governor said.

Jindal said he was “disappointed by the committee’s action.”

His executive order came the day after the Louisiana Republican announced he is forming an exploratory committee for a potential White House bid in 2016. Jindal has stated that he will make and announce his final decision after the state’s legislative session culminates June 11.

Jindal is a strong proponent of a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage across the country. When Indiana and Arkansas drew fire for bills that critics said would legalize discrimination against LGBT citizens, the Louisiana governor was quick to defend the legislation and criticize the states’ governors for advocating legislative compromise.

The state’s Democratic Party Executive Director Stephen Handwerk responded by calling Jindal’s decision a “stunt,” that showed disregard for Louisiana’s tourism industry. (As controversy in Indiana and Arkansas brewed, many pro-LGBT businesses and groups suggested boycotting travel to the states.)

“Louisiana taxpayers and businesses are once again being forced to foot the bill for Jindal’s vanity,” said Handwerk. “It’s foolishness our families cannot afford.”

Jindal’s decision was first reported by the New Orleans Times Picayune.

In 2006 a man came to a S.C. Nazarene church to display his puppets which he claimed were used to teach Jesus Christ to young children. I took issue with the pastor and was told simply “it does not matter, there is nothing wrong with puppets and magicians in the church when used to teach children about biblical principles, etc” What really is involved is trickery and deceit, which can cause a child to become deceived and take on a spirit of spiritual dullness. Demons love puppets. What appears to be innocent is the very thing Satan and his demons use getting to children and start them on a path to deception and acceptance of deeper demonic issues later on.

A couple had a one-eyed stuffed large frog named “Max”. After some period of time they began to talk about him as if he were a family member. Max sat on a bookcase and eventually the couple “noticed his eye” seemed to be looking at them. God revealed the demonic properties of Max, he was trashed and the curses broken that demons had put on the frog.
There are recorded cases where frightened children had terrifying nightmares and upon checking their room it was discovered the child had dolls and stuffed animals in the room. When these items were removed there came a calm and peace to the child and his bedroom.One very demonic item should never be in any child's bedroom or nursery - the "Dream Catcher". Always a deadly curse.

A serious issue with dolls is that many times the child develops a “relationship” with the doll, teddy bear or stuffed animal. The doll or animal becomes a playmate to the child. Some deliverance cases revealed that children actually talking to their dolls and some dolls talking back to the child ( talking back was the demon in the doll ). Look at the word IDOL and you can see the letters spelling dol. Relationships are built between people, not with dolls, puppets or stuffed animals.

A 3 year old had a “Raggedly Ann” doll and held on to the doll as if it were a brother or sister. The Lord spoke to an unrelated adult about this doll and said “None of My daughters are raggedly Anns”. Parents need to examine the toys, dolls, stuffed animals and games their children for these items attract demonic spirits and bring numerous curses on the child and into the child's home.

In years of deliverance ministry we have noticed many items that children, young people and even adults have that are demonic in nature and should be destroyed or better yet never brought into one’s possession. Here are a few to consider:
· Barbie Dolls ( vanity, encouraging young children to “grow up” too quickly )
· GI Joe and GI Jane military sets – encourages spirit of war and killing
· Raggedy Ann and Raggedly Andy dolls – slovenly dress and appearance
· Computer war games, killing, murder, mayhem, robbery, warfare
· Puppets of any kind, Teletubbies, Veggie Tale characters, Muppets
· Mime ( false faces, very demonic )
· Miniatures ( like dolls they have “personalities”, board war games )
· Any stuffed animals. Particularly teddy bears. Children need children and adults, not pretend "playmates"

In all issues it is recommended that you seek the Lord about these matters. God will show you, if you are sincere, what items are demonic and need to go and what items are safe. Let the Lord lead you. Contact objects draw demons. God wants obedience in all areas. Peace and freedom come when one obeys.
EXODUS 20:4 " You shall not make for yourself a carved image ( "Idol" / NASB ) - any likeness or anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth" (NKJV)
If you "open the door" to demonic spirits they will come in and visit you. They will attach themselves to contact objects. When a child cuddles a doll they are cuddling a demonic sprit. The demons just love to have a child "play house with dolls". The children are innocent for the most part about these matters. While the churches deny demons, curses and try to diminish the effects of witchcraft ( i.e. Halloween ) their members suffer needlessly. Their pastors don't teach the Word of God so the parents have little or no idea about the harm being done to their children. They cannot teach what they are not taught.
Go to your child's bedroom. Look around. PRAY. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the "dangers" that lurk in the room. You will be surprised to see what really is there as your eyes are opened by the LORD. ASK - He will answer you with truth.
When in doubt, cast them out.

[From "Greatest Conservative Movies", some of the more notable examples]

Animal Farm (1999) Not Rated: Live-action film adaptation of the conservative text of the same name from George Orwell and of the 1945 original.
...
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) PG-13 Contains messages of patriotism, perseverance and standing up to evil dictators. The film's protagonist Steve Rogers is also arguably the most conservative superhero of the Avengers universe. Last film produced by Marvel Studios before it's takeover by liberal parent Disney.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) PG-13: Film about a hero who believes in the principles that the United States was founded on and is unwilling to see them be destroyed. The filmmakers based the villains of this film on the NSA and the Obama administration.
...
The Incredibles (2004) PG: The world's superheroes are forced to give up their heroics and go into hiding after Mr. Incredible saves a suicidal man as well as a derailed train from a bridge destroyed by one of his enemies (who ironically got away with it), causing the populace to turns on superheroes and lawyers to sue them.
The film celebrates the importance of the family unit; Elastigirl fails at parenting when her husband, Mr. Incredible, neglects to help her raise their children; a traditional family of superheroes is portrayed as the saviors of society, whose importance and presence has been unfairly suppressed. In addition, Mr. Incredible was also shown in the beginning to take marriage seriously, immediately heading over to the wedding when he realizes he may be running late, and doing various crime-stopping when he has time before it.

The movie also contains the conservative idea that recognition should be based on merit rather than on unsubstantiated expectations of equality. The villain, Syndrome, out of sheer jealousy, attempts to kill off real superheroes so that he use technology to pretend to be one, later planning to sell his gadgets so that everyone in the world can be super. "And when everyone is super," he explains, "no one will be." When Mr. Incredible is asked to attend his son's fifth-grade graduation, he criticizes society for "celebrating mediocrity" instead of those who are "genuinely exceptional."
...
Pinocchio (1940) G :A kindhearted craftsman wishes for his own son, a blue fairy (resembling the Blessed Virgin Mary) grants his wish and turns one of his wooden puppets into a real boy. The boy learns about "moral values", and must escape the bad boys who have"hollywood values" and as a result are turned in donkeys (may represent democrats in pop culture).
...
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) PG-13: Unlike the rest of the movies in the series which were pure entertainment, this movie has some good Christian messages and a Christian missionary is presented in a positive light. The climax of the movie presents a very important message too; Only God can grant eternal life, not this pagan waters. Men, destroy this profane temple!
...
World Trade Center (2006)PG-13: Highlights the bravery of NYC's firemen and police in 9/11

Last Friday on “The Savage Nation,” talk radio host Michael Savage reacted angrily to the news that some Girl Scout troops will accept transgender girls. He claimed that the Girl Scouts have embraced “the sickness of the left” and is now losing members as a result of its “lurch to the paranoid, crazy, insane, perverted left.”

After falsely claiming that the Girl Scouts “endorsed Wendy Davis” — when in reality the group’s Twitter handle linked to a Huffington Post article which contained a HuffPost Live video mentioning her — he blamed liberals for the group’s supposed downfall.

“Believe me, there’s still plenty of Christian parents who knew that the Scouts used to be a wholesome place until the vermin on the left got control of both organizations, a pox upon them,” Savage continued. “Crossdressing boys into a Girl Scout, you hear this? Create a crossdressing troop is all.”

Brandon Bostian was the 32-year-old Amtrak train engineer (driver) who was at the controls on May 12, 2015, when his northbound train accelerated sharply just prior to entering a curve at more than double the speed limit.[1] The train then derailed, killing eight people and injuring more than 200; four days after the crash, 17 passengers continued to be hospitalized.[2] Bostian himself was treated for injuries and released by a hospital the same day of the crash.
Bostian has been a homosexual activist in support of same-sex marriage, which may explain the media support for him after the crash. Bostian was quoted in 2012 as saying:[3]
“It’s kind of insulting to have to beg people for my right to marry. I feel like we shouldn’t even have to have this fight. ”
After the derailment, Bostian told investigators that he could not recall any of the facts surrounding the crash, although on the same day as the crash he did subsequently edit his Facebook profile to darken his image, and also spoke with a friend. Bostian was an expert on trains, with one friend saying he was "obsessed" with them.[4]
When Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter criticized Bostian, not by name, for the reckless speed, the media and the NTSB lashed back at ... Nutter. The media then published stories from friends of Bostian who praised him. The NTSB claimed that Bostian was "extremely cooperative" with the investigation, even though he asserted that he could not recall the circumstances of the crash. Mayor Nutter properly dismissed the theory, promoted by the media, than an unidentified flying object such as a rock may have caused the crash.[5]

Prior Public Statements about Trains
Bostian had publicly criticized the government for not installing technology on trains to prevent the same type of crash in which he participated. When asked about the curious fact that Bostian had made such comments, the lead investigator for the NTSB showed no interested in their evidentiary value.
Bostian retained an attorney quickly after the crash, and Bostian has not appeared in the media himself to explain the excessive speeding and his role in it.

Media Bias
As of six days after the massive crash, Wikipedia still lacked a substantive entry for Brandon Bostian. Meanwhile the liberal Daily Beast ran a headline claiming "How Congress Caused the Amtrak Crash."[6]

An attorney for several of the victims was more candid:[7]
“The conduct of the engineer is both unfathomable and unconscionable. ”

Secondary Education
In 2001, Bostian graduated from Bartlett High School, a public school in Tennessee.[4]

Wrath training is about learning to identify with God’s wrath as an isolated quality. To get you there, the Holy Spirit will begin dropping new perspectives into your brain: perspectives which cause you to start seeing the human race in an entirely different light. Instead of seeing creatures who share your same fragility and flaws, you will begin to see an ocean of creatures who are miserably failing to treat God with the honor and respect He deserves. During wrath training, we completely lose our grip on compassion, mercy, and love for our fellow man. We become consumed with a desire for God to be revered, worshiped, and honored by everything that He makes. So intense is this desire that we feel physically exhausted by it. Fits of rage overtake us when we are confronted with evidence of God being dishonored by the things He has made. The very mention of idolatry makes us want to rip someone’s face off. Because we are being introduced to the Divine view of things, and because the Divine view is a global one, wrath training does not drive us into the sort of petty tantrums we read about in the news in which one man picks up a gun and goes ballistic on his personal enemies. During wrath training, we are not focused on our personal enemies. We are not focused on ourselves at all, but rather on God. HE is the One who we feel jealously furious to protect, and nothing less than global destruction will come close to satisfying us. We want the entire human race to be transferred into Hell NOW. We find ourselves overwhelmed with an intense disgust for every created thing which dishonors God, including ourselves. In certain stages of this training, we can become so detached from our personal viewpoint that we’d even prefer to be in Hell ourselves rather than endure another second of God being dishonored. Suddenly NO ONE is treating God well enough, including ourselves, and this torments us to no end.

Now because God’s wrath is in direct conflict with many of His other qualities—such as His grace and long-suffering patience—we find ourselves becoming extremely frustrated by these qualities when we’re going through wrath training. Remember the purpose of this training is to build core identity in you about God’s wrath specifically—not to introduce you to some happy balance of traits. The balance comes later on. The first stage is all about understanding His wrath as an isolated trait, and that will drive you into an intense dislike of every other quality God has which tempers His wrath. By itself, God’s wrath does not want to be tempered. It wants to dominate the scene and stomp out everything that dares to come against God. When you sincerely care about pleasing God and you find yourself suddenly having a major problem with His mercy, love, and compassion, it’s easy to start panicking that you’re somehow going astray. This is when you need to focus on trusting your Trainer: the magnificent Holy Spirit. He is the One who is going to keep you in alignment with God, and He is quite capable of walking you through this entire process without losing you.

By “seeing Jesus” I don’t mean finding Him as in being “saved” or finding Him during a worship service through an emotional spiritual uplifting experience or finding Him as a baby laying in a miniature manger under your Christmas tree or in an apparition of some sort. I mean you can see Jesus as in alive. By now you might think that this is some sort of a trick, a prank and you are being trapped. No. There are no traps here. And the methods used to see Jesus do not involve some recitation of a prayer or special formula. They involve practical instructions from the Bible itself.

What you first need to do is to obtain a special blessing by getting into a spiritual state I call “obtaining Jesus’ double blessings” and how you do this is simple. In His beatitudes Jesus said: “blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This is the first blessing you need to obtain. And then He says “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:10-12) This is the second blessing.

In other words, in order to see Jesus you must first walk the walk, not just talk the talk. So you need to do the right things, the type of things that makes people hate you. Helping an elderly lady cross the street is nice, but it will not make people hate you so that will not work. You need to do the type of godly things that when one looks up your name, or asked about you, they will find enough false accusations and slander that the foolish folks believe it and therefore they end up hating you. You must first accomplish this or else you do not qualify to see Jesus since you will lack the special double blessings.

This will not take much to do these days, even here in the U.S. Just expose the evils of lets say homosexuality, Islam or hereseys and you are on your way to becoming “blessed” in a short time and the more they hate you the more you are blessed and the more you will see Jesus. The whole process should take a day or two by just talking to some folks whom you thought are your friends at church. In other words, if you are more concerned about being approved by your peer, you speak the latest theological interpretation that sounds hip, such as becoming more accepting of homosexuals, worried about your image not wanting to appear as too judgmental since sin is all the same as if man laying with another man is the same as if a kid got caught with his hand in a cookie jar as to undermine the degenerating societal sicknesses and all the spiritual decay that surrounds you. Such attitude will not get you “blessed” no matter how much you make-believe. You will still however see Jesus, but not in the flesh, you can still spot Him in your imaginations.

Society today does not condemn you for being openly accepting of the homosexual lifestyle. No one will condemn you if you say that its not about religion, its about Jesus, that we all worship the same God as Muslims, Christians and Buddhist. No one is going to hate you for that. You must be either loved by your die-hard few Christians or hated by your fellow church members for going against the heretical tide that is weeping Christendom. There is no in between.

And there is yet another step to obtain the status of “tripple blessed”, sort of an extra third blessing and then you can instantly see Jesus, that is if you aid the other “blessed” folks who are hated and obtained the first two blessings above. Jesus calls those who helped the persecuted as “blessed by my Father” in Matthew 25:34 who are recognized for participating during the dark days in which Jesus specifically tells his followers that the suffering will be interrupted by “the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (24:30).

It is a crucial time prior to His coming in which the king will use his authority to separate the flock of blessed sheep from the cursed goats (25:34). Indeed, if all were “saved” who are these “goats”? They are the ones who did not obtain the “hated” “insulted” and “slandered” status.

If your soul hated God, it wouldn’t be the least bit bothered by the suggestion that Jesus Christ is a sadistic creep or a mere delusion. Whenever you find yourself repulsed by what seems to be your own thought, you need to realize that the thought you’re reacting to didn’t originate from you.

Demons plant thoughts into your mind all the time, and they have a very clever way of deceiving you into taking credit for the rot they come up with. It’s a simple matter of watching their grammar. By using first person language, they can get you to take credit for pretty much anything.

The problem starts with you having a poor understanding of how thoughts arrive in your brain. For starters, you think your mind is some private room that demons have no access to. Look up the question “Can demons read our minds?” on the internet, and most Christian teachers will tell you that they can’t. Well, most Christian teachers are delusional. Demons most certainly can read your thoughts. They can also hear your soul’s communication with God, they can manipulate your flesh, and they can do perfect imitations of your “thought voice”. Demons are first rate impersonators, and they love to impersonate both you and God inside your head. When they want you to think that you’re talking to yourself, they use “I” language. When they want you to think God is talking to you, they use “you” language. For example:

You’re such a disappointment to Me. When you hear this thought, you instantly jump to the conclusion that God is talking, then you spiral down into all kinds of guilt and shame because you think God is rejecting you.

I think the whole Jesus thing is a crock. When you hear this thought, you instantly take credit for it, because you can’t imagine anyone else using “I” language in your mind. Because your soul really does want to please God, you then get all distressed at the idea that you are insulting your Savior. But in reality, you haven’t insulted anyone—demons planted the thought in your head just to agitate you and it worked because you don’t understand how they operate. It’s time to get more educated on this subject. See our post Voices in Your Mind to learn more about the origins of your thoughts. Learning to stop taking responsibility for thoughts that didn’t come from you is a critical part of developing good discernment.

The so-called “Judeo-Christian” religion is a false religion, an Antichrist religion, Biblically called “The Synagogue of Satan.” Followers of Judaism and Zionism have a completely different false god than the holy God (heavenly Father) of the Bible. As you just read in 1st John 2:22-23, anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ has also denied the heavenly Father. Judaism and their unholy book, the Talmud, adamantly deny Jesus Christ as the Messiah. They are Antichrist.

Bitterness can be kept to one's self

Countless women who are raped develop awful emotional and spiritual bondage. It's not because they were raped, but because they allowed the trauma to get to them. Many women are in bondage today because they became bitter under the surface about what was done to them years ago. I believe Clinton Clark once said that from his observation, it seemed that boys who are molested by older men and forgave the molester and forgot about it right away, walked away without picking up unclean homosexual spirits, but those who allowed the trauma to bother them walked away with homosexual spirits and other bondages. That's how the demonic spirits gain access into a person's life through rape and abuse. It's not the abuse or rape, but the bitterness and unhealthy feelings that build up within a person who has been taken advantage of. Demons thrive on bitterness and unforgiveness, and it's a wide open door for them to move right in on a person and develop many spiritual, mental and even physical bondages.

[Do you consider gay people to be normal?]

Being gay is like having a disability.

I'm a proud father of 4 kids and none of them are gay. Being gay is like having a disability. You cannot function in society without being straight because the world is built to support only normal people. Gay people just ruin pornography and a disgrace to the human race. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. With that important logic. Gays shouldn't exist, they're just people who've been infected with the devil. Homosexuality is wrong.

Quote# 108758

[Barack Obama said, "[R]emember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often were justified in the name of Christ."]

First the truth on the Crusades, as I've mentioned in the past:

- The Crusades were a delayed response for CENTURIES of Muslim aggression, that grew ever fiercer in the 11th Century. The Muslims focused on Christians and Jews...forcing conversions, plundering and mortally wounding apostates. The Crusades were a DEFENSIVE action, and a response against Jihad, which is obligatory against non-Muslims entering "Muslim lands'". (Muslim lands are any lands invaded and conquered by Islam.)

- The motives of the Crusaders were pure. They were jihad-provoked and not imperialistic actions against a "peaceful," native Muslim population.

- The Islamic world ripped through the Christian world on a bloody Jihad crusade to propagate Islam. Muslim imperialistic conquest wars were launched for more than 1,500 years against hundreds of nations and over millions of square miles (larger than the British Empire at its peak). The Jihad crusade went from southern France to the Philippines, from Austria to Nigeria, and from central Asia to New Guinea.

Second, as far as terrible deeds committed "in the name of Christ":

- When Muslims commit violent Jihad in Allah's name, according to the Quran (as ISIS, et al, does), they are being true to Islamic doctrine and reflecting the character of Islam's founder Muhammed.

- The same CANNOT be said of Biblical Christians. If a so-called Christian commits a violent act and attempts to justify it in the name of Jesus and claims the New Testament, he is NOT reflecting the character of Christianity's founder NOR can his actions be supported by the New Testament.

Thirdly, Slavery:

- Slavery was not the product of White men or Christians, but rather the work of Arab Muslims (who still utilize it today in Africa).

- The Abolitionists, who ended Slavery, were in FACT Christians. The man responsible for ending Slavery in England? A Christian by the name of William Wilberforce.

[...]

And finally, Jim Crow:

- Jim Crow Laws were a Southern Democrat response to Republican President Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation. It was NOT a Christian action. The Christians were the Abolitionists. They ended slavery. So any reference to Christians and Jim Crow Laws, is patently deceitful.

Quote# 108757

The presumed Islamic State murder victim Kayla Mueller isn't quite the saintly martyr that President Obama and the media are trying to make Americans believe.

[...]

Mueller wasn't a humanitarian aid worker. She wasn't a peace activist. She wasn't trying to make things better for everyone in the Middle East. She was part of the problem, an ally with medieval theocratic totalitarians against Western civilization.

Mueller was an Islamic terrorist sympathizer who worked for the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), which certainly is not a humanitarian organization. The ISM is a terrorist-linked organization that attempts to sabotage the anti-terrorism activities of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The ISM backs the enemies of Israel, including Hamas, and those in the Palestinian Authority who seek to destroy Israel.

[..]

Mueller is not the first Islamist-sympathizing American to die by the hands of the Islamic State. James W. Foley, who was beheaded by IS in August, fancied himself a journalist but did little more than parrot Islamist propaganda. He mocked the Global War on Terror, urged that Sunni Islamist rebels be armed against the Assad regime, and supported terrorists' efforts to drive out the Christians of Aleppo.

Foley and Mueller were on the same wavelength. They were both fighting in their own ways for Islamic totalitarianism and both met gruesome ends at the hands of the Islamic State.

Perhaps their bad examples will discourage future Americans from throwing their lot in with those who would snuff out Western civilization.
