The secret that Leo Strauss never revealed

The secret that Leo Strauss never revealed No sillier allegation has found its way into mass-circulation newspapers than the notion that a conspiracy of Leo Strauss acolytes has infiltrated the Bush administration. Supposedly Defense Undersecretary Paul Wolfowitz, a Strauss doctoral student, and other lesser-known officials form a neo-conservative cabal practicing some sort of political black arts. If anything, the Straussians are dangerous not because they are Machiavellian but because they are naive. First of all, there is no Straussian conspiracy, for the simple reason that no two Straussians agree about what Leo Strauss (1899-1973) really meant to say during his 37 years of teaching ...
Time to Stop Evangelizing and Start Liberating Jesus, the Theological Prisoner of Christianity

Weekend Edition August 25 / 26, 2007 Time to Stop Evangelizing and Start Liberating Jesus, the Theological Prisoner of Christianity By Rev. WILLIAM E. ALBERTS Jesus was a Jewish martyr not a Christian saviour. Like numerous other Jewish "insurgents" of his time, he sought to liberate the Jewish people from the Roman Empire's brutal occupation of their country. He did not die on a Roman cross for "the sins of the world" but to rid the Jewish people's world of the sins of the Roman Empire, which violated their nationality, occupied their country, and crucified would-be messianic liberators, like Jesus, for political sedition, and countless by-standers.

Have Christians Already Accepted The Mark Of The Beast?

Christians throughout church history have debated the nuances of Eschatology. These debates will doubtless last until Jesus Himself decides to end them. Until then, the theological battles extolling or condemning premillennialism or postmillennialism, pre-tribulation Rapture or post-tribulation Rapture, etc., will continue. To be sure, this column is not an attempt to resolve or even argue these interpretations of Scripture. Let every man be persuaded in his own heart. Personally, I don't think it's worth arguing about. Whether a Christian is premillennial or postmillennial, whether he or she believes in the pre-tribulation Rapture or not is immaterial to our responsibilities. We ...

JERUSALEM – A CNN special series airing this week entitled "God's Warriors" – produced and anchored by the network's chief international correspondent, Christiane Amanpour – is "one of the most grossly distorted programs" ever aired on mainstream American television, according to a media watchdog report. "God's Warriors" takes up six prime-time hours on CNN this week, airing in three parts at 9 p.m. EST. It started Tuesday and concludes tonight. The first part of the series, "God's Jewish Warriors," compared Jewish and Christian "radicals" to Muslim supporters of suicide terror, presented anti-Israel ...
YAH'S LAWS: ARE THEY FOR TODAY?
Post Date: 2007-08-19 16:26:35 by richard9151
6 Comments
Many modern Christians would view an article entitled "Yah's Laws" as irrelevant, since they believe that the laws of God as found in the Old Testament no longer pertain to us under the New Covenant. Some preachers today go so far as to declare that Yah's laws have been abolished and thus we are no longer obligated to keep them in any way, shape or form. Why should we not believe such ministers, after all the Apostle Paul declared: "… [We] are not under law, but under grace…." (Romans 6:14) and "…Christ is the end of the law…." (Romans 10:4) At least 27 additional New Testament Scriptures declare essentially the same thing. With ...

B 001 - God's Covenant People: Yesterday, Today and Forever by Evangelist Ted R. Weiland The resource book for Christian Israel. This book proves that God continues to have a plan for the physical Israelites under the New Covenant dispensation. It corrects the commonly taught fallacy of a "Spiritual Israel" made up of people from a diversity of different races. It demonstrates who Israel is not today, thus exposing the impostors. It establishes who Israel is today from the scriptures, archaeology and history, and discloses why this revelation is of such significance to us. An attractive book of 14 chapters, in excess of 700 quotations with footnotes, over 30 early American ...

CNN's upcoming Christiane Amanpour documentary on religious extremism in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, "God's Warriors," airs starting on Tuesday. Right here in the U.S. we have an example of one of those warriors, Ron Luce, whose call to action to retake America from the "virtue terrorists" (gays, pro-choice supporters, etc.) is "Battle Cry," a youth crusade that Amanpour visits at its stop in San Francisco.Luce screams intolerance cloaked in nifty pyrotechnics, Christian rock music, and big-screen graphics to the teen-packed venue. The evils of secular society and pop culture have forced him to tell his young charges to be ready and "armed ...

AJCongress Counsel: ‘We Have To Win This Case, and Win it Big’ The highest-level case in American history involving the right to circumcision is slated to be heard this fall, when the Oregon Supreme Court rules on whether a father can have his 12-year-old son undergo the procedure. The case — which could affect the ability of parents to make religiously motivated decisions for their children — is bound up with a bitter custody dispute between a divorced Oregon couple. It pits James Boldt, the custodial parent and a recent convert to Judaism, against Lia Boldt, who argues that the boy is afraid to tell her ex-husband that he does not want to be circumcised. She says ...

A San Antonio pastor and an employee of his Christian boot camp were arrested today on aggravated assault charges, accusing them of dragging a girl behind a van after failing to keep up with others during a running exercise. Investigators with the Nueces County Sheriff’s Office arrested Charles E. Flowers shortly before noon at the Faith Outreach Center in northwest San Antonio, said Brad E. Bailey, a spokesman for the Schertz Police Department. The department assisted Nueces County authorities in the arrests because some of the camp's training exercises occur in Schertz. Bailey said boot camp trainer Stephanie Bassitt was arrested later in Kirby. Authorities said both boot ...

It seems that every time someone such as myself attempts to encourage our Christian brothers and sisters to resist an unconstitutional or otherwise reprehensible government policy, we hear the retort, "What about Romans Chapter 13? We Christians must submit to government. Any government. Read your Bible, and leave me alone." Or words to that effect. No doubt, some who use this argument are sincere. They are only repeating what they have heard their pastor and other religious leaders say. On the other hand, let's be honest enough to admit that some who use this argument are just plain lazy, apathetic, and indifferent. And Romans 13 is their escape from responsibility. I ...

The Ten, says Village Voice, is a film "http://www.villagevoice.com/film/0731,wilonsky,77376,20.html obsessed with prison rape and puppet dicks."

Setting precedent, Egyptian seeks recognition as convert (Islam to Christianity)

CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian man has asked the Egyptian courts to recognise his conversion from Islam to Christianity and instruct the government to change the details on his identity documents, his lawyer said on Monday. Mohamed Hegazy, a journalist and political activist, said in a petition filed on Saturday that he converted four years ago because he believed that love and peace were the purposes of religion and he found in Christianity what he had long been seeking. Hegazy went to register his change of religion with the Interior Ministry earlier this year but the officials rejected his request, lawyer Mamdouh Nakhla told Reuters. "He's married and his wife is pregnant and ...

He has a much more serious calling these days. Baldwin became a right-wing, born-again Christian after the 9/11 attacks, and now is the star of Operation Straight Up (OSU), an evangelical entertainment troupe that actively proselytizes among active-duty members of the US military. As an official arm of the Defense Department's America Supports You program, OSU plans to mail copies of the controversial apocalyptic video game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces to soldiers serving in Iraq.

About a dozen employees of the City of Wilmington have filed religious protests against a new time-keeping system that uses finger measurements to track workers' hours. "As my divine ... right, I request that you, my employer, accommodate my sincerely held religious belief by not requiring me to submit to the use of a thumbprint, DNA or any other biological identification device," one employee wrote. The city has declined to name the workers, making it hard to discern the theology behind the protest. And the few whose names could be determined by other means would not ...

At Dan By John David Clark, Sr. - September, 1993 Whereupon King Jeroboam took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt." And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other he put at Dan. And this thing became a sin (1Kgs.12:28-30). They that say, "Thy god, O Dan, liveth", even they shall fall, and never rise up again (Amos 8). He was a young man of reputable birth, this Levite. There was no denying that he, Jonathon, the son of Gershom, son of Moses, had the credentials to merit respect. But it irked him that Moses had made Aaron ...
