(AP) - A pastor and his wife have been charged with arson in a fire that gutted their church last week, authorities said Tuesday. The Monday arrests of The Rev. Harold Hunter and Patricia Hunter came just one day after the pastor gave a sermon in which he said he prayed for the "sick, sadistic" person who burned down the church. No one was hurt in the blaze. Police would not discuss a possible motive, but said they had suspected that Thursday's fire and three earlier acts of vandalism at the 64-year-old Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church were an ...

The atheist Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explains why God is a delusion, religion is a virus, and America has slipped back into the Dark Ages. - - - - - - - - - - - -By Gordy Slack April 28, 2005 | Richard Dawkins is the world's most famous out-of-the-closet living atheist. He is also the world's most controversial evolutionary biologist. Publication of his 1976 book, "The Selfish Gene," thrust Dawkins into the limelight as the handsome, irascible, human face of scientific reductionism. The book provoked everything from outrage to glee by arguing that natural selection worked its creative powers only through genes, not species or individuals. Humans are merely ...

De-homosexualization of the Catholic Church Analyst: New pope to reverse course, purge 'gay' leaders from ranks Posted: May 2, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com The reason Catholic Church leadership includes homosexuals is because John Paul II refused to believe reports that potential clergy held that orientation – a mistake that will not be repeated by Pope Benedict XVI, says geopolitical expert Jack Wheeler. In a column on his intelligence website, To the Point, Wheeler explains that a Vatican source disclosed to him why John Paul discounted the charge of homosexuality. "Whenever Vatican investigators brought the results of their vetting process ...

"Fascist theology in this town sees God on the side of the U.S. The U.S. government is an agent of evangelization that provides a security cover for them."—Former Catholic Priest in Colorado SpringsApril 29, 2005—Colorado Springs is a military town, home to the US Air Force Academy, NORAD Headquarters, Air Force Space Command, multiple Air Force Bases, and numerous other military installations. There is, however, one additional compound being used to launch, not a military, but a cultural offensive against what evangelical extremists believe to be the deterioration of America's "traditional" values.As one writer put it, "Colorado Springs [is] a testing ...

A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616. The new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing. Professor David Parker, Professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and ...

LINTHICUM, Md. -- The United Methodist Church reversed itself Friday, deciding to reinstate a lesbian minister who was defrocked after revealing her relationship with another woman. A church panel voted 8 to 1 to set aside an earlier decision to defrock Irene "Beth" Stroud for violating the church's ban on openly gay clergy. The Philadelphia minister said she was relieved by the ruling and hopes the church will become more inclusive to people regardless of sexual orientation. After Stroud disclosed the relationship to her congregation two years ago, the church defrocked her, meaning that she could no longer serve communion or baptize anyone. She kept the title of associate ...

Mystical message of sacrifices

Mystical message of sacrifices By EPHRAIM SPRECHER The question of animal sacrifices during Temple times is something that can be difficult for us to understand today. According to the Ramban (Nahmanides), the primary purpose of the sacrifice was that by being involved in the slaughter of an animal, the sinner bringing it would also experience vicarious death. When the kohen (priest) slaughtered the animal and burned it on the altar, the aim was that the person bringing it would feel as though he himself had been killed and burned for having gone against the word of God. God gave man the power of intellect so that he would be able to perfect himself. When a person sins, it is as if he ...

Pope Benedict XVI greets the faithful in St Peter's Square yesterday after being invested After being invested with the symbols of his office, a pallium, or wool scarf, and the papal fisherman's ring, the pontiff obliquely criticised both political tyrannies and environmental degradation.

The First Book of Adam and Eve part of the "Forgotten" books of Eden The First Book of Adam and Eve details the life and times of Adam and Eve after they were expelled from the garden to the time that Cain kills his brother Abel. It tells of Adam and Eve's first dwelling - the Cave of Treasures; their trials and temptations; Satan's many apparitions to them; the birth of Cain, Abel, and their twin sisters; and Cain's love for his beautiful twin sister, Luluwa, whom Adam and Eve wished to join to Abel.

Trumpp. Translated into King James English from both the Arabic version and the Ethiopic version which was then published in The Forgotten Books of Eden in 1927 by The World Publishing Company. THE FIRST BOOK OF Adam and Eve ALSO CALLED The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan. PRESENT day controversy that rages around the authenticity of the Scriptures and how human life began on this planet must pause to consider the Adam and Eve story. Where does it come from? What does it mean? The familiar version in Genesis is not the source of this fundamental legend, it is not a spontaneous, Heaven-born ...

The Lost City of Ugarit The Birthplace of the Alphabet, Syria The road to Lattakia goes over the Anti-Lebanon Range. I had left Aleppo under a blue sky at noon; now a thick fog rolls in, tall conifers appear in the valleys, visibility drops. The pop Arabic music in the bus gets louder but does not deter my fellow passengers from dozing. Handsome villages with brick houses, clean streets and small domed mosques appear now and again. We stop at a rest area with gift shops and restaurants and arrive in Lattakia by early evening. I take a cab to the city center and find a hotel. It is my tenth day in Syria. Lattakia lies on the Mediterranean coast and is one of Syria's most modern towns. ...

Confidential letter reveals Ratzinger ordered bishops to keep allegations secret Pope Benedict XVI faced claims last night he had 'obstructed justice' after it emerged he issued an order ensuring the church's investigations into child sex abuse claims be carried out in secret. The order was made in a confidential letter, obtained by The Observer, which was sent to every Catholic bishop in May 2001. It asserted the church's right to hold its inquiries behind closed doors and keep the evidence confidential for up to 10 years after the victims reached adulthood. The letter was signed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was elected as John Paul II's successor last week. Lawyers acting for ...

The Third Secret Reveals the Great Chastisement by Father Paul Kramer, B.Ph., S.T.B., M.Div., S.T.L. (Cand.) The late Father Malachi Martin stated in his last interview on the Art Bell Show (1998) that there was something ghastly and horrifying in the Third Secret of Fatima. It is not the annihilation of nations, nuclear war or the bloody persecution of the Church. It is something much worse. Pope Pius XII referred to this when he declared in 1945, "The world is on the verge of a frightful abyss ... Men must prepare themselves for suffering such as mankind has never seen." The Third Secret is apocalyptic and therefore corresponds to the eschatological texts of Sacred Scripture. ...

His comments Monday night were directed at religious people, who he said need to respond to Sept. 11 - and the American empire that has ...

Women send up pink smoke to protest male-only conclave to elect pope CHICAGO (CNS) -- Before the cardinals locked into the Sistine Chapel had a chance to cast their first ballot April 18, a group protesting the lack of women's voices in the conclave gathered outside Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago to send up billows of bright pink smoke along with prayers for women to be heard. The event featured statements from several organizations supporting the ordination of women that called on the church to open its doors fully to women's participation.
