War & Peace in Modern Times

I am for peace, but they are for war. A look at the history of 9/11/2001 and what lessons we can learn from the past.

Does It Really Matter?

Is Any Religion Good For America? What is religion? Does it matter what you believe? Does it matter who leads the Country? These, and more, questions answered.

The Call for a king

A Call to Christian Voters. Consider carefully whom you choose to serve.



Scripture tells us who we should place as leaders over us. They first should be those who fear God and live according to His precepts. They should also be able, servant hearted individuals, not those who are swayed by bribes, material gain or power.



Consider well, this election season and all that follow.

America is making a grave mistake. Christians have cast off their trust in God and are voting their special interests and fears rather than the godly values that made America great. Men who stand for the righteousness of biblical values are abandoned for base power mongers and showmen. Like those in the days of Saul, the people are:

Calling for a king over the King of kings.

Psalm 119 pe-tsaddi

The Psalmist reveals the immutable power of the Word of God, the Bible.

Chicken Little Revisited

"The Sky is Falling!, The Sky is Falling!," screamed Chicken Little.

CNN reported that:

(CNN)One of the last remaining sections of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf is dramatically weakening, according to a new NASA study.

The study predicts that what remains of the once-prominent ice shelf, a thick floating platform of ice, most likely will "disintegrate completely" before the end of this decade

Ice shelves are extensions of glaciers and function as barriers. Their disappearance means glaciers potentially will diminish more quickly, as well, increasing the pace at which global sea levels rise.

European Space Agency satellite images from 2002, left, and 2012 reveal the disintegration of the Antarctic ice shelf.

A team led by Ala Khazendar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, found evidence of the ice shelf flowing faster and becoming more fragmented. The flow is creating large cracks in the ice shelf.

"These are warning signs that the remnant is disintegrating," Khazendar said in a NASA press release. "Although it's fascinating scientifically to have a front-row seat to watch the ice shelf becoming unstable and breaking up, it's bad news for our planet."

The Larsen B Ice Shelf has existed for at least 10,000 years.

The ice shelf's disintegrating state came into light after it partially collapsed in 2002. Scientists watched in amazement as the ice shelf splintered and vanished rapidly in six weeks. No one had ever witnessed a large ice mass disappear so quickly, according to Eric Holthaus, a meteorologist at Slate.

The collapse of the Larsen B Ice Shelf seems to have been caused by a series of warm summers on the Antarctic Peninsula, which happen during what in the Northern Hemisphere are winter months. Those trends built up to a particularly warm summer in 2002, according to NASA.

2 degrees: The most important number you've never heard of

Larsen B measured 4,445 square miles in January 1995. It went down to 2,573 square miles in February 2002 after the major disintegration, and a month later Larsen B was down to 1,337 square miles.

At present the Larsen B remnant is about 618 square miles. That's less than half the size ofRhode Island, the smallest U.S. state. Two decades ago, Larsen B was slightly smaller than the state of Connecticut.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory glaciologist Eric Rignot, who co-authored the paper, said the research gives insight into how ice shelves closer to the South Pole will react with the warming climate.

Study raises concerns over big, rapidly thinning Antarctic glacier

"What is really surprising about Larsen B is how quickly the changes are taking place," Khazendar said. "Change has been relentless."

Ice shelves are particularly sensitive to atmospheric warming and changes to ocean temperature, said Helmut Rott from the University of Innsbruck after the European Space Agency observed a rapid retreat of Larsen B Ice Shelf in April 2012 via satellite images.

Other prominent ice shelves in the region also have been affected over the years.

Larsen A disintegrated in January 1995. Larsen C has been somewhat stable with some evidence of thinning and melting, the space agency said after observing satellite imagery in 2012.

First quarter of 2015 the warmest on record

As I read these declarations of “shame on you human beings” kind of articles I cannot but wonder who profits from the fear mongering of the “Global Warming” crowd? Perhaps, people like Robert F Kennedy Jr, son of RFK and nephew of President JFK, environmental lawyer and environmental activist. Mr. Kennedy’s claim to fame seems to be that he said, “Large-scale hog producers are a greater threat to the United States and US democracy than Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist network.” When asked if he actually made such a ludicrous comment he said, “I believe it and I support it.”

He believes that, “Exxon Mobil and its carbon cronies continue to pour money into think tanks whose purpose is to deceive the American public into believing that global warming is a fantasy.” In goose step with Al Gore and others who are making a fortune by mis-information and fear mongering, Mr. Kennedy has established himself as an “expert” on global well-being.

Along with many other disparaging remarks about those who disagree with him, he states, “The recent disruptions to animal and plant behavior are evident to anyone except for ideologically blinded right-wing flat-earthers and Exxon/Mobil’s political and media toadies like Michael Crichton, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.” The real scary thing that I see in this kind of “progressive,” Godless thinking is wrapped up in his calling those who disagree with him, “traitors.”

He said, “These villainous companies that consistently put their private financial interest ahead of American interest and ahead of the interest of all of humanity. This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors.”

He seems to echo the sentiments of our President’s dear friend Bill Ayers who advocates the annihilation of anyone who will not join the secular, Marxist, one-world march to modern enlightenment.

Regarding NASA’s recorded observations:

(1                Trying to make sense of scientific data that has only recently been made available, within the context of secular evolutionary theory and inaccurate suppositions about the earth’s history, is an exercise in futility.

a.     An example of this is the statement, that the “The Larsen B Ice Shelf has existed for at least 10,000 years.”

                                                             i.      The simple truth is that the earth’s history, as recorded in the Bible, states that the earth was only created about 6,000 years ago. There were no scientists present at that time and so the record of God must be accepted or the resulting observations will be skewed beyond belief.

                                                           ii.      Job was chastised by God when he presumed to know how things really work.

1.     4  Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Declare to Me, if you have and know understanding. 5  Who determined the measures of the earth, if you know? Or who stretched the measuring line upon it? 6  Upon what were the foundations of it fastened, or who laid its cornerstone, Job 38:4-6 (AMP)

                                                        iii.      “Young earth,” or “Creation” scientists, have now begun to stand up and bravely refute the foolishness of Darwinian “Old Earth,” secularist thinking.

1.     This will give us a much more accurate understanding of what is taking place in our environment.

                                                        iv.      Don’t write me off too quickly. You have to realize that I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s when,those in the know were telling us all that the glaciers were growing at an alarming rate and Los Angeles was going to be pushed into the ocean by the coming ice age.

                                                           v.      Could it be that the earth is simply going through its normal cycles of warming and cooling?

(2                Let’s consider the following statement by Ala Khazendar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California

a.     "What is really surprising about Larsen B is how quickly the changes are taking place, Change has been relentless."

                                                             i.      The relentless change only seems troublesome if it is compared to the belief that this is taking place within the context of millions of years of earth’s existence.

                                                           ii.      The Larsen B is said to be older that the earth has existed.

1.     This skews every consideration about how critical this change is. Especially if one considers the world-wide flood that would have made the ice build up  begin at a much later time in earths history.

(3                A return to Biblical wisdom and the resultant sanity would be a welcome breath of fresh air to the scientific community and a re-stabilization of society in general.

(4                No, Chicken Little, the sky is not falling, nor is the earth melting. Not yet.

The Attacks Continue

As if we don't have enough confusion in the world, it seems that the Presbyterian Church USA and an Anglican priest in Jerusalem have decided to add to it. They would like to rewrite the Bible to exclude any mention of Jews, including the fact that Jesus was a Jew.

You can read the whole article written by, Julio Severo, at http://barbwire.com/2015/01/25/0645-pcusa-leftist-palestinian-christians-writing-israel-bible/ .

One can readily see the work of the spirit of anti-Christ at work in the unregenerate minds of these misguided souls. It becomes obvious that the Scripture accurately depicts the natural mind as one that cannot understand the things of God.

• But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV)

The attack against the infallibility of Scripture has been gaining momentum ever since Darwin's mentor convinced him that man evolved, rather than was created by God. This not-scientific-at-all view of the beginnings of all things even led brilliant Bible scholar's like Finnis Dake to try to make the Bible fit the popular thought of the day. In his case, the "gap theory" was put forth to account for the millions of years that the biblical record would not, and could not, account for, but the secular Darwinist's desperately needed. 

The unregenerate mind, and, yes, the unconvinced, double-minded, deluded, and deceived, mind could be swayed to propagate the lie that God, the Creator of all things, could not possibly have created it all in six literal days. All this in spite of the simple declaration of the Bible concerning itself that it was God breathed and absolutely true.

• 2 Timothy 3:16 (AMP) Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action),
•  Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. John 17:17 (NKJV) 

Jesus is the Truth. He is not a truth; He is the Truth.

• Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 (NKJV) 

On the other hand, the devil is a liar, and the father of all lies. His mission is to steal, kill, and destroy you. He does it by cutting you off from God and His Christ in any way that he can.

• You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. John 8:44 (NKJV) 
• The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 (NKJV) 

If you believe the lie you will miss the truth. If you miss the truth you will miss life, and the life more abundant, that only the Jewish Jesus, the Christ of God, can give. In other words, all the promises of the God who created you, are lost to you forever.

He gave us His word, which is unalterable truth, historically proven over and over, even to this day with one archeological find after another.

We don't need another corrupted Bible. What we need, is to believe the one that we have.

Strange Fire?

Pastor John MacArthur is just being a faithful and staunch Southern Baptist. 

For all the truth the Baptists have received, they have been stubbornly resisting the Holy Spirit outpourings over the years since their inception. 

I remember J. Vernon McGee, the Voice of the Baptist Church, on the local Christian radio station preaching daily that signs, wonders and miracles ended when John died. He would boldly declare that all “Pentecostal” and “Charismatic” manifestations were of the devil. Etc. Pastor MacArthur is just taking up his mantra which is dogmatic cessationist theology. 

The Baptists are losing members and closing churches faster than ever, while those of the Pentecostal persuasion are growing and expanding the Kingdom of God all around the globe. No wonder that one of their own would take the old stand in hopes that some would not leave their persuasion. Many “Baptists” are becoming “Spirit-filled” and leaving their ranks. 

This is an old, old “battle” that the Baptists just don’t want to lay down. Unfortunately, we all can point fingers at the other denominations for the lack of integrity found everywhere. The devil must love it because, as Luke 11:17 says, “But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.” 

One day, Christians will have to come together in the Word and not in their dogmatic assertions. I pray that Reverend MacArthur would learn that the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life and yield to the Holy Spirit which he now, very well, could be blaspheming.

 

I posted the following via the YouVersion online Bible earlier today:

 

http://bible.com/8/MRK7.13.AMP Thus you are nullifying and making void and of no effect [the authority of] the Word of God through your tradition, which you [in turn] hand on. And many things of this kind you are doing.
Bible.com/app

That there have been gross abuses within charismatic and pentecostal circles is no secret. That John MacArthur points to those excesses to rally cessationists is petty and childish at best. While purporting to defend scripture he ignores the simple truth that Jesus still saves, heals, and delivers, that signs wonders and miracles still happen every day, and that pentecostalism is responsible for the salvation of more souls than the Baptists ever thought of. The only “strange fire” I can see is that of the tradition of a shrinking denomination that refuses to embrace the true and complete  work of the Holy Spirit. John MacArthur is simply the Baptist Convention’s modern version of J. Vernon McGee.
