Rome, Mar. 14, 2008 (CWNews.com) - Some Jewish leaders continue to lodge protests against a papal revision of the prayer for Jews included in the traditional Good Friday liturgy. In an interview for the ANSA news agency, the head of the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations, Rabbi David Rosen, said that his organization is not satisfied with the new text, released in February on directions from Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news). He said that a delegation of rabbis from Jerusalem have delayed a planned trip to the Vatican to protest the prayer. Pope Benedict revised the prayer in answer to complaints that the text-- used only in Latin, in Good Friday services ...

Video inside the link where muslims senselessly cut the throat of an endangered sea turtle. Turtle meat is non Halal, meaning it is off limits. This was in Gaza, Hamas runs Gaza which means sharia enforcement. Muslims arent exactly known for their environmentalism... Or much else outside of violence, dirtiness and squalor. I posted this to show that muslims are like this ALL the time in every conceivable situation.
THE ULTIMATE REASON WHY GOVERNMENT EDUCATION FAILS

Do you want to know the ultimate reason why government education fails? I will tell you. It is because the government runs it!I read a column the other day by Debra Rae on News with Views entitled “Worldviews on Trial”. While she makes many excellent points, the following two paragraphs caused me to drop what I was doing and fire off this screed. “The Christian worldview places God and His Word at the center of learning. After all, God is the source of all true knowledge, His Word is truth, and in Jesus are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. For these reasons, our founding fathers recognized the necessity of weaving biblical principles into every aspect of ...
False "Propheteering"

False "Propheteering"By Felicity ArbuthnotGlobal Research, April 5, 2008 “And thus I clothe my naked villainy, With odd old ends stol'n forth of holy writ And seem saint, when most I play the devil.” Richard 111, William Shakespeare.There were two of those “this cannot be real” moments, during March. One was that a man who enjoined a “crusade”, has barely had a passing acquaintanceship with the truth in years, has joint responsibility for over a million Iraqi deaths in five years and those of an average of six thousand Iraqi children a month from his tenure beginning 1997 through March 2003, is to teach subjects including “Faith” at ...

The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ Part 1 by Acharya S Was Jesus a man, myth or God? The answers may surprise you. Introduction Around the world over the centuries, much has been written about religion, its meaning, its relevance and contribution to humanity. In the West particularly, sizable tomes have been composed speculating upon the nature and historical background of the main character of Western religions, Jesus Christ. Many have tried to dig into the precious few clues as to Jesus's identity and come up with a biographical sketch that either bolsters faith or reveals a more human side of this godman to which we can all relate. ...
Was Jesus Jewish?

Most historians, professional and non-professional, play fast and loose with the term "Jew." They find Jews all over the ancient Mediterranean world as well as in the modern world. There is even a Jewish state on land, which from a biblical viewpoint was actually willed by God to Jesus and those who believe in Him (Galatians 3:16: ‘Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring; it does not say, "And to offsprings," as of many; but it says, "And to your offspring," that is, to one person, who is Christ’ . . . 3:29: ‘And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise’). This is ...

Until Shiloh Comes By Chuck Missler (From his Book "The Creator Beyond Time and Space") In the 49th chapter of the book of Genesis there is another specific prophecy regarding the time of the Messiah's coming. In verse one we read of the last blessing that Jacob bestowed to his sons. "And Jacob called his sons and said, 'Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days'" Genesis 49:1 (NKJ) When he had gathered them together he began to prophesy over each of them. When he got to his son Judah, he gave a prophecy concerning the Messiah: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until ...

Obama gave a nice speech, except for everything he said about race. He apparently believes we're not talking enough about race. This is like hearing Britney Spears say we're not talking enough about pop-tarts with substance-abuse problems. By now, the country has spent more time talking about race than John Kerry has talked about Vietnam, John McCain has talked about being a POW, John Edwards has talked about his dead son, and Al Franken has talked about his USO tours. But the "post-racial candidate" thinks we need to talk yet more about race. How much more? I had had my fill by around 1974. How long must we all marinate in the angry resentment of black people? As an ...

My wife and I and our guests have worshiped at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where he recently completed a 36-year ministry. Images of Wright's strident sermons, and his anger at the treatment of black people in the United States, appear constantly on the Internet and cable television, part of the latest controversy in our political-campaign ...

Easter: Christian or Pagan?

As you read this, carefully note that it is about Easter, and not about the facts outlined in the Bible. What is detailed here is how a historical figure was transformed into a pagan ritual, and nothing more is done in this description. BUT, this information is very helpful in understanding what happened to Christianity, and how it has been debased and destroyed by the Roman church and her daughters. You can figure out who the daughters of the Roman church are by simply noting their observance of Easter, Xmas and the other pagan holy days of the year. Contrary to popular belief, Easter does not represent the "historical" crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In reality, ...
German Jewish leader criticizes Pope over prayer

BERLIN (Reuters) - The leader of Germany's Jewish community said on Friday she was surprised Pope Benedict could have allowed a new version of a Good Friday prayer for the conversion of Jews. Charlotte Knobloch, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told Reuters Television she could not fathom Pope Benedict putting forward the new decree because he experienced discrimination against Jews in Germany as a young man. "I would have assumed that this German pope, of all people, had got to know first hand the ostracizing of Jewry," she said. "I could not have imagined that this same German pope could now impose such phrases upon his church." Jewish groups ...

Robert Weitzel says that since the beginning of the second intifada in September 2000, over 1,000 Palestinian and Israeli children have been killed by bullets and bombs. According to Pastor John Hagee and his evangelical organization, Christians United For Israel, this is an acceptable -- if not desirable since a majority of the children were Muslim -- price to pay to bring about Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Hagee endorsed McCain's presidential bid, and McCain "was very proud to have Pastor John Hagee's support." Safa Abu Saif, a 12-year-old Palestinian girl, was visiting a friend's apartment when the bullet fired from an Israeli rifle slammed ...

Author challenges claim that Jesus lived in Nazareth

Just in time for Easter, a Eugene author this weekend will unveil his new book arguing that Jesus did not hail from Nazareth — because Nazareth did not exist during Jesus’ lifetime. Rene Salm will talk about his book, “The Myth of Nazareth: The Invented Town of Jesus,” at the American Atheists’ national conference in Minneapolis. He also will rub shoulders there with the likes of Richard Dawkins, author of the best-selling ode to atheism, “The God Delusion.” But Salm, a 55-year-old mental health worker and published composer of classical music, insists he’s not anti-Christian — pointing to the framed drawing of Jesus and many books on ...

“You can fool all of the people some of the time and You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.” Abraham Lincoln. When I first began to talk about government and the Bible in the same paragraphs, I heard people respond with quotes from Romans 13 probably more than any other verse. It Reads: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.” Romans 13 1 Of course we should honor true authority, such as our Father and Mother, or others that God places over us (or we go under by contract and agreement), but is that even what Romans 13 is ...
Barack Obama's race speech is a knowledge test, not a Rorschach Test

Yesterday I came across comments that Barack Obama's race speech is a "Rorschach Test;" i.e., if you support Obama you think it's a great speech and if you don't, you think the speech is awful. That view is a cop-out by people who are too poorly informed about black liberation theology and Barack's past to provide an objective analysis of the speech. Obama depended on widespread ignorance of such matters to pull the wool over America's eyes about his church -- just as he depends on widespread ignorance of Chicago political corruption and the intricacies of his relationship with Tony Rezko to dupe the gullible. I also came across mention yesterday that in ...
Biblical Guidance for Voting

A recent e-mail exchange on the subject of this fall’s election prompted these thoughts on Romans 12 and how Christians should vote. While the Bible says nothing about voting, it does guide us on how we should live. Its advice for living applies everywhere, including the voting booth. I wrote the following in an e-mail to SG. “Hillary, Obama, and McCain are all cut from the same cloth. Oh sure, they talk a little bit differently. However, they are ALL for endless socialism, endless war, UN membership and the surrender of our independence, open borders, a full-blown police state and abortion on demand of 1 million babies per year. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!! Don't vote for ANY ...

The peculiar theology of black liberation
Post Date: 2008-03-20 23:24:13 by mirage

Senator Barack Obama is not a Muslim, contrary to invidious rumors. But he belongs to a Christian church whose doctrine casts Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people". At best, this is a radically different kind of Christianity than most Americans acknowledge; at worst it is an ethnocentric heresy. What played out last week on America's television screens was a clash of two irreconcilable cultures, the posture of "black liberation theology" and the mainstream American understanding of Christianity. Obama, who presented himself as a unifying figure, now seems rather the living embodiment of the clash. One of the strangest ...

Our first piece of information is found in John 19:14-16 where we are told that Jesus died on a Friday just before the Passover. This is important because the Jews schedule the Passover ...

Once Upon a Time... March 17, 2008 The Bland, Meaningless and Unthreatening Religion of the Ruling Class I'll have a lengthier consideration of certain issues arising out of the Obama-Jeremiah Wright fracas very soon. For the moment, I'd like to focus on one particular aspect of this faux-controversy. I'm listening to Rush Limbaugh on the general topic. Limbaugh, of course, is delighted by anything at all that causes disarray and distress for and among the Democrats, thus perhaps accruing to the Republicans' advantage. I'm delighted by it too, but for rather different reasons. My fervent desire is that most Americans are so disgusted by everything about the ruling ...
