A Nation Under God News: Let others worry about the rapture: For the increasingly powerful Christian Reconstruction movement, the task is to establish the Kingdom of God right now—from the courthouse to the White House. By John Sugg December/January 2006 Issue TRINITY CHAPEL in suburban Atlanta’s Cobb County is hardly the picture of a revolutionary outpost. It’s a stylishly modern Church of God—a denomination that, though conservative, is certainly mainstream. Parishioners are drawn from a community whose average income is a comfortable 35 percent above the national norm, whose tree-lined country roads intersect McMansion subdivisions. If Norman Rockwell were ...
The Sheep and the Goats, Part II

The Sheep and the Goats, Part II Charles E. Carlson Jan 19, 2006 Dallas Theological Seminary, outpost for Christian Zionism In part I, we explained why Christian Zionists at the pulpit of mega-churches find it impossible to tell the truth about many New Testament Bible passages without compromising their position, which is always in support of the state of Israel. Their words often conflict with Jesus' statements to his disciples about heaven and hell, especially in the 25th Chapter of Matthew. Jesus' words should be of vital interest to anyone who claims to be a follower of Christ, or to anyone who believes in an afterlife. But not so, this one chapter may be the most deliberately and ...

January 20, 2006 The Christian Coalition goes to court today in Richmond, where the former powerhouse of the religious right faces a lawsuit filed by a Maryland moving company that says it was underpaid when it moved the group out of its Washington offices three years ago. Reese & Sons Enterprises of District Heights, which filed the lawsuit in Henrico County General District Court, says it gave the coalition a $4,580 estimate to move out of its office at 499 S. Capitol St. SW to a storage facility in Clinton, Md. But when packers and movers arrived on Thanksgiving weekend in 2002, they found more items waiting to be moved than they had seen during a preliminary visit, owner ...

America's Arcane Origins Frank Joseph – New Dawn Magazine January 14, 2006 When Benjamin Franklin was leaving the first Continental Congress, he was asked by one of many anxious patriots waiting outside the courthouse, “What have you given us?” Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” The difference might seem trivial or even non-existent to narrow-minded persons for whom democracy and dictatorship are the only conceivable forms of government. Yet, the very word, “democracy,” does not occur once in the Bill of Rights, the US Constitution, or any state constitution. It was mentioned often by America’s Founding Fathers, but invariably as ...
Tim LaHaye, the Richest Divinator in the World All about LaHaye before he co-authored the Left Behind series

[Yurica Report Editor's Note: The Bible prohibits using divination of any kind or being “an observer of times,” in Deuteronomy 18:10-11. Christians are not supposed to be trying to figure out what the future holds! Yet millions of evangelical Christians have blindly followed the teachings of Tim LaHaye, but few know that he is the father of a divination system. His so-called “Temperament Theory” is nothing more than a variant form of astrology. It is no wonder then that right wing religious followers of LaHaye are being led into political back rooms where corrupt political ideology is pawned off as “Christian.” In the hope that the backslidden churches will ...

For about a month now, my wife has had swollen lymphnodes in her pelvic area. She has a high white blood count and elevated liver enzyemes. Our doctor called back and asked for an immediate re-scheduling which will be Friday at around 4pm after lab results came back on Wed. And as of right now, ya'll know just as much about the situation as we do. It could be any number of things to a simple infection on up to things I don't even want to think about at this time. Please pray for us. As soon as this is posted, I will probably copy this over to LP and then go to bed. Thanks in advance for prayers and thoughts. I will be back sometime tomorrow evening or night to give an update. Thanks.

Iran's president and Pat Robertson more alike than you think by Jon Basil Utley Pat Robertson and 20 million American fundamentalists are not alone. The new president of Iran also believes that the end of the world is nigh and "believers" can help speed it up. His government has now allocated millions of dollars for the Jamkaran mosque to help believers prepare for the event. It is staffed by the Bright Future Institute, which fields inquiries and prepares Iranians for the end of this world and eternal life in the next. Among Muslims, especially Shias, much attention is given to this coming battle between good and evil: some 20 percent of the population in Iran is reported to ...
Israeli biblical theme park plans in doubt

Plans to build a biblical theme park on the shores of the Sea of Galilee today appeared to have collapsed after Israel refused to do business with Pat Robertson, the project's main backer. The US evangelist angered the Israeli government when, a day after Ariel Sharon had suffered a huge stroke, he said the Israeli prime minister was experiencing divine retribution for the withdrawal of Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip. "He was dividing God's land, and I would say: 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course', he told viewers of his long-running television show. "God says: 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone'." Avi Hartuv, a ...

Spain's Little Piece of Africa The enclave of Melilla considers itself a model of multiculturalism. But some say blissful coexistence is a myth amid tension and fear. By Tracy Wilkinson Times Staff Writer January 11, 2006 MELILLA, Spain — As evening descends along King Juan Carlos Avenue, shopkeepers shutter their stores and people stroll and chat amiably, some in Spanish, and just as many in Tamazight, a Berber dialect. On a nearby two-block stretch, sparkly Christmas decorations have been strung across the street from Mohammed's Gift Store, around the corner from the Hindu temple and a couple of doors from the 80-year-old synagogue. The Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church tolls ...

EDMOND, Okla. -- An Oklahoma university has proposed a policy that would allow officials to fire employees who get a divorce, Oklahoma City television station KOCO reported. Oklahoma Christian University is already getting some attention for a letter it sent to faculty that stated: "Because the Christian mission of the university is most effectively fulfilled through mentoring and example, all married faculty and staff should strive to model (healthy) marriages to students." University President Mike O'Neal said this doesn't mean everyone who gets a divorce would lose his or her job. He said the university would look at each individual case.

Jesus 'Healed Using Cannabis' B The Guardian - UK 1-7-6 Jesus as almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings. The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back ...

Of all of the Christ-myth, pagan-copycat sources I refute, only Acharya S deigns to include and make much of Zoroaster on her list. She puts together about a dozen similarities after her usual fashion: * Zoroaster was born of a virgin and "immaculate conception by a ray of divine reason." * He was baptized in a river. * In his youth he astounded wise men with his wisdom. * He was tempted in the wilderness by the devil. * He began his ministry at age 30. * Zoroaster baptized with water, fire, and "holy wind." * He cast out demons and restored the sight to a blind man. * He taught about heaven and hell, and revealed mysteries, including resurrection, judgment, salvation ...

Best-selling author and evangelical leader Tim LaHaye has contacts that extend to the White House. That could spell trouble, since his theology espouses a bloody apocalypse in Israel On a scorching afternoon in May, Tim LaHaye, the 79-year-old co-author of the "Left Behind" series of apocalyptic thrillers, leads several dozen of his acolytes up a long, winding path to a hilltop in the ancient fortress city of Megiddo, Israel. LaHaye is not a household name in the secular world, but in the parallel universe of evangelical Christians he is the ultimate cultural icon. The author or co-author of more than 75 books, LaHaye in 2001 was named the most influential American evangelical ...

NI_MPU('middle');AN ITALIAN judge has ordered a priest to appear in court this month to prove that Jesus Christ existed. The case against Father Enrico Righi has been brought in the town of Viterbo, north of Rome, by Luigi Cascioli, a retired agronomist who once studied for the priesthood but later became a militant atheist. Signor Cascioli, author of a book called The Fable of Christ, began legal proceedings against Father Righi three years ago after the priest denounced Signor Cascioli in the parish newsletter for questioning Christ’s historical existence. Yesterday Gaetano Mautone, a judge in Viterbo, set a preliminary hearing for the end of this month and ordered Father Righi to ...

Unavoidable and Unpopular Truths that are a key to our Freedom Charles E. Carlson Oct 11, 2005 We Hold These Truths has always tried to be an evidence builder, rather than a maker of unsupported declarations. We like to see each read what we have to say and decide what conclusions they should draw. But time is getting shorter for both of us, so we offer some blunt statements that we find to be self-evident. Our forefathers, in writing the Declaration of Independence, were forced to draw some conclusions they did not have time or space to prove. They called these unsupported claims "self evident truths," meaning they are so obviously true that they do not need to be proved, and ...

But how did the ancient people came to belive in Devils, Demons and Evil spirits? It all started when a group of extraterrestrial beings who were known as the " Renegades " cane down to planet earth before the time of the Great Devestation during 3500 BC. During the era before the Great Devestation, the Neandathals had lived around the area of Mesopotamia (now known as Iraq) had an encounter with extraterristrials beings who were known as the Renegades. These Renegades had evolved on their own when they had seperated from the main group of extraterristrials beings that were known as the Shinning Ones. The Renegades had become the outcasts from the Shinning Ones soceity group who ...

I have good news … but also sad news. The good news is that Bible-based creation ministry is making a phenomenal impact both on the church and on the culture as well. You have probably gathered that by visiting our website. The sad news is that evolutionists are increasingly banding together to push their anti-Christian teachings and to oppose creationists. Websites and newspapers across America have recently published numerous articles about evolutionists who are worried by the increasing number of Christians who are, for example, engaging evolutionists at science museums. And they’re also concerned with the many other challenges to the idea of evolution that continue to pop ...

Row deepens over Danish cartoons The cartoons have prompted protests in Copenhagen Arab foreign ministers have condemned the Danish government for failing to act against a newspaper that published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. At the Arab League conference in Cairo, they said they were "surprised and discontented at the response". Islam forbids any depiction of Muhammad or of Allah. The Jyllands-Posten newspaper published a series of 12 cartoons showing Muhammad, in one of which he appeared to have a bomb in his turban. The Arab League's ministers council said the cartoons were an insult to Islam. The government's response "was ...

Secret Societies, Satanic Sects, The Prieure du Sion, The Knights Templars, Freemasons? What's Their Purpose & Are They At Core of New World Order? Secret societies like Prieure du Sion have tried to unravel Christianity, saying Jesus survived the Crucifixion and raised a family with Mary Magdalena. Are the documents proving this hypothesis real, as revealed in the 1982 book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Although many condemned the book, it spawned a whole new cult of readers still looking for answers and now tying these secret societies to the NWO. Also, why does the symbolism of skull and crossbones keep popping up throughout history? By Greg Szymanski 12-28-5 The subject of secret ...
