Christian right looks to rebound By ERIC GORSKI AP Religion Writer BRANDON, Fla. (AP) -- Headed into the 2008 election season, Christian conservatives are weary. Their movement has lost iconic leaders and the Republican presidential field is uninspiring. But they may have found hope in a trailer on the campus of Bell Shoals Baptist Church. There, in Annex Room No. 3, Ruth Klingman nods as a leader in Florida's pro-family movement describes how gay marriage would open the door to other "aberrant forms of marriage." He holds up a printout of "polygamy pot lucks" as evidence. Yes, Klingman says afterward, she will do her part to pass a constitutional amendment ...

George W. Bush closet "Joel's Army" member? by dogemperor Fri Sep 21, 2007 at 01:35:16 PM PDTI have had a bit of an evidentiary katamari that I've been rolling up for some time, and--whilst I've embargoed it on here, I've posted it on a few less formal forums just to make sure the concept isn't completely on crack. However, Bruce Wilson's recent post noting George W. Bush's recent promotion of explicit Assemblies of God endtime theology has convinced me not to embargo this post anymore. Namely, I have found a rather large amount of evidence--to suggest that George W. Bush is "Methodist In Name Only"--and his true loyalties may lie with the ...

Sect leader who has 70 wives goes on trial for 'forcing girl, 14, to wed her cousin'By PAUL THOMPSON - More by this author » Last updated at 18:17pm on 14th September 2007 Self-proclaimed prophet: Warren Jeffs The self proclaimed prophet of a secretive polygamous sect has gone on trial in America accused of forcing a 14 year-old-girl to marry her older cousin. Warren Jeffs, who is said to have had 80 wives and as many as 250 children, is alleged to have told the girl it was her duty to give herself "mind, body and soul" to her husband. A court in Utah heard that the terrified girl got down on her knees and begged Jeffs to postpone the wedding, saying she ...

LEESBURG - More than 1,000 marchers walked from City Hall to Leesburg Regional Medical Center Saturday morning to show support for Danny Harvey, recently fired from the hospital after he refused to stop praying for patients in the name of Jesus Christ. "I'm here to support Jesus Christ and being able to pray in his name," said Aaron Schotsch, 39. "So many of our rights are being taken away all the time. Everybody's trying to make everything politically correct." The procession was solemn and quiet. Demonstrators were told not to bring banners nor signs, but they spanned several blocks. At the front of the crowd was Harvey, wearing a brimmed straw hat, black ...

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles is selling a convent that has housed an order of nuns for more than four decades to help pay for a record-breaking sex abuse settlement. Three nuns from the Sisters of Bethany order have until Dec. 31 to move out, though an earlier departure “would be acceptable as well,” the archdiocese’s vicar general said in a letter to the nuns. “We’re just so hurt by this,” said Sister Angela Escalera, the order’s local superior. “And what hurts the most is what the money will be used for, to help pay for the pedophile priests. We have to sacrifice our home for that?” In July, the ...

BURGESS HILL, England -- Every morning on his walk to work, high school teacher Graham Wright recited a favorite Anglican prayer and asked God for strength in the day ahead. Then two years ago, he just stopped. Wright, 59, said he was overwhelmed by a feeling that religion had become a negative influence in his life and the world. Although he once considered becoming an Anglican vicar, he suddenly found that religion represented nothing he believed in, from Muslim extremists blowing themselves up in God's name to Christians condemning gays, contraception and stem cell research. "I stopped praying because I lost my faith," said Wright, 59, a thoughtful man with graying hair ...

September 13, 2007 Gay Old Party Outs Itself While Many Ask, Is U.S. Run by Secret Homintern? By Dr. SUSAN BLOCK Recent Republican sex scandals continue to function as amusing Weapons of Mass Distraction from ongoing Republican fiscal, diplomatic and military fiascos. An intriguingly large portion of these scandals are gay, or, lest we offend those members of the Gay Old Party who prefer to define themselves as “not gay,” let us say that they are “homoerotic.” Just about all of those GOP public servants caught in the homoerotic act are screamingly homophobic. They also tend to be religious, often active religious leaders with wives and families and huge ...
In Zimbabwe, scandal fells Mugabe critic

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA -- -- A camera planted in the bedroom of Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube has felled President Robert Mugabe's most prominent and outspoken critic in Zimbabwe. The Vatican announced Tuesday that it had accepted Ncube's resignation from his leadership post, which came after the Zimbabwean state media in July splashed lurid photographs and video footage of a naked man resembling Ncube in what they called his "love nest." The stories, and a civil lawsuit filed at the same time, accused him of having sex with a married woman, Rosemary Sibanda. They also claimed that Sibanda, a secretary for the Catholic Church, was not the only woman with whom ...

Church of England: Labour's equality law denies Christians right to oppose homosexuality By STEVE DOUGHTY Labour's latest equality law will deprive Christians of the right of free speech, the Church of England has warned. The Single Equality Bill could force vicars to conduct weddings for sex-change brides, deprive Christians of the right to oppose homosexuality and make church schools promote gay lifestyles in lessons, said the Archbishops' Council. Church charities may also be barred from saying grace before meals or displaying crucifixes, it claimed. The CofE document - endorsed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams - warned that the Bill attempts to suppress ...

White House celebrates Rosh Hashanah a week early.
Last night, President Bush issued a statement wishing “greetings” to those “celebrating Rosh Hashanah“:
The sound of the Shofar heralds the beginning of a new year and a time of remembrance and renewal for the Jewish people. During these holy days, men and women are called to reflect on their faith and to honor the blessings of creation.
The enduring traditions of Rosh Hashanah remind us of the deep values of faith and family that strengthen our Nation and help guide us each day. As Jewish people around the world come together to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, it is a chance to look to the new year with hope and faith.

Lord Mayor's Show - GOG AND MAGOG

Towards the head of the procession you will see two benevolent giants. They are Gog and Magog, the traditional guardians of the City of London who have been carried in the Lord Mayor's Show since the reign of Henry V. They are descended from the pagan giants of early English pageantry and their history is buried in ancient legends of Britain's origins. The story goes that Diocletian - the Roman Emperor - had thirty-three wicked daughters. He managed to find thirty-three husbands to curb their unruly ways, but the daughters were not pleased, and under the leadership of their eldest sister Alba they plotted to cut the throats of their husbands as they slept. For this crime they ...

Makow - Independent Historian Unveils Cabalist Conspiracy By Henry Makow PhD 9-2-7 David Livingstone, 41, author of "Terrorism and the Illuminati - A Three Thousand Year History" (2007) says Cabalists determined to be God have hijacked mankind. "The Cabala states that God created man to know Himself," says Livingstone. "Cabalists take this to mean they can usurp the role of God. They don't have to meet an absolute moral standard first." Livingstone says that all occult movements originate in the Cabala (which dates to 6th century B.C. Babylon.) Cabalism is a Jewish heresy because it does not uphold the universal moral standards enunciated by Moses. ...
Benedict XVI Liberalizes the Ancient Rite of the Mass And Explains Why

Benedict XVI Liberalizes the Ancient Rite of the Mass – And Explains Why This is how the Mass was celebrated before, during, and after Vatican Council II, until 1970. If the passage to the new rite has created divisions and ruptures among the faithful, the fault is partly that of the Church: a fault which the pope now means to remedy by Sandro Magister ROMA, July 7, 2007 – The highly anticipated papal “motu proprio” on the rite of the Mass prior to the reform of 1970 was made public today, together with a letter of explanation from Benedict XVI to the bishops. The two documents were sent a few days earlier, in secret, to all the presidents of the episcopal ...

Just the Catholic facts – Religion journalists point to reasons why secular media often get faith wrong By Emily Stimpson 8/30/2007 Our Sunday Visitor HUNTINGTON, Ind. (Our Sunday Visitor) – “Why does the secular media often get faith wrong?” That’s the question asked all too often when Catholic happenings make news in the secular press. Case in point: Pope Benedict XVI’s freeing of the traditional Latin Mass last July. No sooner did the news break than did errors in reporting start making their way into the living rooms of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Some of those errors were small — misnaming the missal that would be used — and some ...

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?
Post Date: 2007-08-29 12:25:12 by robin

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 ...
