2 John King James Version (KJV) 1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after ...
U.S. Theologian Predicts ‘#MeToo Movement About Homosexual Abuse in Seminaries’

A prominent U.S. theologian said this week that recent revelations about clergy sex abuse will ignite “a #MeToo movement about homosexual abuse” both in seminaries and among priests. Janet Smith, a well-known author and theologian at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, said that although homosexual abuse in seminaries had been partially cleaned up, she fully expects “a #MeToo movement about homosexual abuse in seminaries in the past and in the priesthood both in the past and currently.” “It won’t be easy for men to come forward — they are likely mortified that they submitted to the vile approaches made to them,” she told the National Catholic ...

“No man can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24). The fine print at the bottom of the website where I signed up to receive some religious newsletters read: “From time to time you will also receive Special Offers from our partners that help us make this content free for you. You can opt out of these offers at any time.” I never paid much attention to any “special offers” I received in my inbox until I read the subject line of a recent e-mail: “Aim High And Accept The Call To Serve Those Serving.” Turns out that the e-mail “was sent on behalf of U.S. Air Force Chaplain Corps.” Here is what it said: FULFILL YOUR HIGHER CALLING IN THE U.S. ...
Beauty queens who've courted controversy

Beauty queens who've courted controversy Mark Gray 2 days ago Slide 1 of 26: Looks vs. the law. For all the elegance and grace that beauty pageant contestants possess, there can also be an uglier side -- a side that involves police, jail and court rooms. Take Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih, for example. Rima was the epitome of class when she won the crown, and she was beloved for being down-to-earth. After she won Miss USA 2010, she was asked how she felt and her response was, "Ask me after I've had a pizza." The Michigan native was an easy woman to cheer for and was the first Arab American to be crowned. (She was also the first Muslim to be crowned, but ...

I call a commonwealth Regicide, which lays it down as a fixed law of nature, and a fundamental right of man, that all government, not being a democracy, is an usurpation; that all Kings, as such, are usurpers, and for being Kings, may and ought to be put to death, with their wives, families, and adherents. The commonwealth which acts uniformly upon those principles; and which after abolishing every festival of religion, chooses the most flagrant act of a murderous Regicide treason for a feast of eternal commemoration, and which forces all her people to observe it—this I call Regicide by establishment. –Edmund Burke, Letters on a Regicide Peace Now before the feast of the ...
Hungary Converts Secular Public Schools Into Christian Parochial Schools

The lesson of the last thousand years is that the nation can only endure via religious educational institutions, because a Christian renaissance is the only thing able to reawaken Europe's unique character and civilization. Thus the nation is converting many of its secular public schools into Christian parochial schools. This article originally appeared on a new site about the Christian renaissance in Russia, called Russian Faith. Their introductory video is at end of this article. Editor's note: In the following video, Dr. Steve Turley reports on the incredible Christian renaissance taking place in Hungary's national education system. They are rapidly converting many of ...

"[Mohammed] was not capable of introspection. He had shown all the symptoms of his lunacy and his prophetic claim was based on the quicksand of grand delusion. But the irony is that the entire religion of Islam is based on the truth claim of such a man who could easily swing back and forth between the two extremes - reality and fantasy. Like the mythological Narcissus, he actually worshipped his own image - not God. He had created Allah in his own image and attributed to that God the qualities of his own self. He used Islam to pervade Muslim psyche, and possessed their mind. Islam is an extremely defenseless religion and hence vulnerable to collapse. "Defenseless" in the ...

Another interesting video from Dr. Stephen Turley. We came across Turley recently and find him interesting because his basic argument is that there is a worldwide turn to conservative values, traditionalism, and nationalism, in the US, Eastern Europe, the EU, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, South America - in fact, all continents, and that this change is being driven by the loosening of the liberal, globalist grip on information flow due to technology. You can see all his articles on RI here. Turley is a theology, Greek, and rhetoric teacher in the booming classical education movement, which is predominantly conservative. He is a former Protestant from Connecticut who converted to ...

Freedom’s Progress?: A History of Political Thought, by Gerard Casey …compared with the statist, pillaging, slave-based and tax-burdened nightmare that was fifth-century Rome, ‘the world of the so-called barbarians was free and enlightened,’ with superior economic and personal freedoms. Casey offers an examination of the European Middle Ages. To summarize my view of this period: the European Middle Ages – at least for those regions influenced by the combination of the Germanic and the Christian – offered the most libertarian law and decentralized society that I have found in history. There is much in Casey’s treatment of this period that will be ...
Brunson – the Alleged Pastor

The Turkish court has rejected the appeal to release Andrew Brunson, who is the alleged US pastor at the center of a dispute between Ankara and Washington. While he has been there for 23 years, his new Church of the Resurrection has existed for less than a year and it had only 25 members. From the photo, it appears that the prayer room consists of about 40 seats. There is no professional pulpit, but drums and a lectern with speakers. Nobody even knows about the financing of the church. Following the Turkey coup of July 15th, 2016, Brunson was arrested by the Turkish security authorities in October 2016. He was charged with espionage and the attempt to overthrow the Turkish government. ...
Mike Pence’s Rank Hypocrisy Regarding US Defense of Christians Around the World

America's wars in the Middle East, driven by Jewish neoconservative ideologues, have caused colossal persecution and death of Christians in the millions, and continue to do so. And what about Serbia?, US support for ISIS?, the Ukraine? Pence's dishonesty is breathtaking. On July 26 Vice President Michael (“Mike”) Pence addressed the first “Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom” in Washington D.C. Pence opened his remarks by asserting that “religious freedom is a top priority of this administration,” that this “most fundamental of freedoms . . . is in the interest of the peace and security of the world.” His subsequent list of abuses of ...

Ron Unz did it again. He published a few pieces on the Jewish Question, and caused a veritable avalanche of comments and responses. His strong point is the personal touch. It is not a lecture on Jewish faith or Jewish contacts with the Nazis, but rather a story of Unz’s own Odyssey from commonly accepted truisms to a better understanding. Along the way, Unz breaks out of the box, and we share in his discovery of unknown or well-forgotten truths. His language is moderate, he never screams, and such peaceful delivery makes the material easier to comprehend. He did not emerge a philosemite, for sure, he is not a man who believes that everything Jews do they do for the Glory of God. He ...

Prosecutors say religious ritual killed boy at N.M. compound Alex Johnson 6 hrs ago New Mexico compound suspects released on bond The young boy whose remains were found at a compound in New Mexico died in a religious ritual conducted because his father believed he was possessed by demons, prosecutors alleged Monday. The boy's remains were discovered Aug. 6 after Taos County authorities raided the ramshackle compound near Amalia, where they found five adults and 11 children, ages 1 to 15, at least two of whom prosecutors said Monday were being trained to attack schools, banks and other institutions. The boy hasn't officially been identified, but Siraj Wahhaj, a well-known imam ...

CNN Under Fire for Omitting Key Detail About School Shooter Training Compound By Allison Kofol August 10, 2018 at 11:27am CNN was under fire for omitting the words “Muslim extremists” in their report on Tuesday about the child compound case in New Mexico. Police found 11 missing children starved and abused in New Mexico and in court documents, they reported that the men were training the children to commit mass school shootings, as reported by The Daily Caller. On Tuesday, Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said that he believed the men who ran the compound, Siraj Wahhaj and Lucas Morten, are “extremist(s) of the Muslim belief.” According to Biz Pac Review, ...

What would Israel’s Nation-State Law look like if it was applied to the United States? WASHINGTON — In honor of the shared values between the State of Israel and the United States of America, and the recently passed “Israel as the Nation State of the Jewish People” Basic Law, the following bill has been proposed to the U.S. House of Representatives (with an identical bill proposed in the U.S. Senate). Since an overwhelming number of Senators and Representatives, and the White House, strongly support Israel and have not objected to its new Nation State Law, we expect overwhelming support for this proposed bill as it is applied to the United States of America.

Lives destroyed by Star Wars

The Star Wars franchise is unlike anything else in pop culture history. It's unfathomably big in terms of not just box office draw but cultural influence. What other movies could make people stand in line for days to await tickets? What other movies could pull in well over $9 billion in worldwide ticket sales while still going strong? And that doesn't even take into account the assorted merchandising and related materials which, by 2014, had produced more than $37 billion, according to Wired. While you can't deny just how massive Star Wars has been, it's not all sunshine and Ewoks. The toll the franchise has taken in the real world has actually been pretty heavy for a ...

Freedom’s Progress?: A History of Political Thought, by Gerard Casey I know full well how hazardous an enterprise it is to set sail on the controversial and disputed sea of Scriptural interpretation…. Yes, same here. This is one reason (of many) that I strongly prefer to keep theological discussion off limits. I know this is difficult to do, given the topics at this post, and I appreciate that you all respect this desire. As you know, my intent behind these topics is to examine the ramifications of broad religious issues on the social, governance, and political aspects of society. I guess today I am going to somewhat cross that line. The reasons are twofold: first, the ...

Freedom’s Progress?: A History of Political Thought, by Gerard Casey I have skipped ahead to Casey’s review of the European Middle Ages. His first chapter regarding this period is entitled “Christianity,” as seems appropriate if one is discussing freedom’s progress in the Middle Ages. For its first three hundred years, Christianity was a non-establishment religion. Christians learned to live beyond the action of the state, without state protection, and even had to struggle against the state: These three centuries established an abyss between the domain of government and the domain of religion…. When Constantine turned to Christianity, much of his reason ...

On just about every issue, in 2016, candidate Trump ran in opposition to Sen. Lindsey Graham. Donald Trump won the presidency; Lindsey Graham quit the race with a near-zero popularity, as reflected in the polls. The People certainly loathe the senator from South Carolina. A poll conducted subsequently found that Graham was among the least popular senators. No wonder. Graham is reliably wrong about most things. But being both misguided and despised have done nothing to diminish Sen. Graham’s popularity with Big Media, left and right. Thus were his pronouncements accorded the customary reverence, during a July 10 segment, on Fox News’ “The Story.” Which is when he ...

Maxine Waters may think she represents the entire African-American community, but one group of black Christian leaders are proving that assumption dead wrong. On Thursday, African-American conservative activists and religious leaders gathered on Capitol Hill to call on House Speaker Paul Ryan to formally condemn Waters for her vile statements last month instructing her supporters to physically harass Trump administration officials, The Christian Post reported. “Congresswoman Maxine Waters has violated the ...

If anything the US has been the cause of their tragedies and the destruction of their communities War was swirling in Syria. Rebels were pressing. And Maan Bitar was the only hope for American help. “Because I am evangelical, everyone thinks I have channels of communication,” said the pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Mhardeh. “Syrians believe the United States has the power to stop the conflict—if it wants to.” In the early years of the civil war, Bitar’s Orthodox neighbors were desperate to convince the US and its allies to end support of rebel forces. Mhardeh, a Christian city 165 miles north of Damascus, was being shelled regularly from across the ...

Vladimir Putin Jew Score: 2 October 7, 1952 — We woke up on what could only be the backseat of a car. Tinted windows cloaked the outside streets. "Good, you awake." The man sitting in the passenger seat turned around. His Slavic features were topped by a completely barren scalp. "What is the meaning of this...", we started to ask, but the man placed a raised finger by his lips. "In moment, you find out. We almost there." The car made a stop. The man got out and opened the door from the outside, letting us out. We were on an nondescript street in New York City; the car, a black sedan, was sporting diplomatic plates. It was double parked. ...

Remembering The American Christian Pastors Who Helped Win Our Independence By Pastor Chuck Baldwin April 17, 2015 at 11:10am April 19, is rightly identified as “Patriots’ Day.” In truth, April 19, 1775, should be regarded as important a date to Americans as July 4, 1776. It’s a shame that we don’t celebrate Patriots’ Day as enthusiastically as we do Independence Day. It’s even more shameful that many Americans don’t remember what happened on this day back in 1775. This was the day the “shot heard ’round the world” was fired. It was the day America’s War for Independence began. Being warned of approaching British troops by Dr. ...
