Truth against the worldJuly 24, 2011
By way of review, so far we have established that the old man to which Scripture points to negatively is none other than self and all of the hyphenated character defects that emanate from it: self-righteousness, self-centered, self-indulgent, self-aggrandizement, self-justification, self-will and on and on it goes.

In Charles Dicken’s ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, a well known classic line stated, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” I’ve been hearing for years that these are trying times and that it’s an exciting time in which we live. I’m guilty of repeating these clichés, but I don’t find it very exciting when my patience is tried. Nevertheless, Scripture saith, “Tribulation worketh patience” (Romans 5:3). So, men and brethren, what shall we do?
We live in a day and age in which there are some very smart and wise people as well as despicable idiots; the best and the brightest vs. the worst and the dullest. We live in an era of true believers and also rancid atheists. It is a winter of freezing blizzards and a summer of scorching drought. We put all our cards on the table, yet have nothing to wager – nothing to win and nothing to lose. Millions think they will be raptured off to heaven and millions resign themselves to the pits of hell.

Ask not what you can do for your country; ask what your country is doing to you. Josiah did what we should be doing and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord.

The June 11, 2011 Saturday Enquirer had another story about the “Answers in Genesis’” new park in nearby Grant County, Kentucky. The headline was: Ark Work Could Start Soon; with the secondary headline being: Tax rebates pave way for $172M attraction. It was on page one, right at the top of the first page; and it continued on to page A12.
One wonders why this organization gets such good promotions from the newspaper. And this story is not unique; there have been many stories about “Answers in Genesis” throughout the years. Many of them, front page stories!
I remember when they only had a book and cassette tape room in a very small space in a small strip mall, located at their headquarters in Florence, Kentucky. In around twenty years they have built a Museum (worth over $30 Million and totally paid for) and now plan to build a $172 Million park with full-size replica of Noah’s Ark, a Walled City with retail, food and themed venues, a children’s play area, a Tower of Babel with a special-effects theater and a Noah’s Animals area with a petting zoo. Other exhibits include a Journey Through History themed attraction, a First-Century Village, an aviary and a special-events area for large gatherings. Both of these attractions are/will be in northern Kentucky.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

Homeland Security Surveillance detected on website
Blogger noted for opposing homosexual lifestyle choice
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has begun watching a blog posted by a Christian who was forced to flee Brazil because of the conflict between that nation's pro-homosexual 'hate crimes' agenda and his advocacy for traditional marriage. ...similar crackdowns could be coming in the U.S. because of the federal 'hate crimes' bill signed by Obama....'Brazil grants freedom to preach Christianity, provided that the sermons avoid negative mentions of state-protected behaviors and cultural trends,' Severo said....
That law enhances penalties based on the thoughts of the person suspected of committing a crime.
Pastor Rick Scarborough of Vision America Action and Mathew Staver of Liberty Counsel voiced their opposition to the law at the time. While there has not yet been a large-scale crackdown on pastors who preach against homosexuality, there are indicators that such developments could be in the offing.
We are now more than two years away from the next Presidential election; and election that won’t make much difference to the United States. As usual, the Banking cartel has picked the opponents on both sides of the election: Democrats – Obama; Republicans – Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich proposes the end to Christianity and as a consequence terminates the old fashioned morality. In other words, Newt wants the “New World Order” to soon come to pass and the Old America to disappear.
He recently, last year, changed his religious denomination from Southern Baptist to Roman Catholicism. The former House Speaker, Bohemian Grove member and Council of Foreign Relationships is fitted to be a President of a nation that he would like to change. You can find him on television shows constantly arguing for his positions.

Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….
So many people (including myself in the past) have wondered why the Bible includes genealogical records. The question seems to automatically pop into most peoples’ minds, “Why are these here? It doesn’t matter who you are.” And we skip over these records as insignificant to the Biblical revelation. But, there they are! They confront the Bible reader in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. There must be a good reason. It may be that this is what Hosea is talking about in the above verse: knowledge about the Law of Yahweh and knowledge about who we are! This is the point of knowing something about the genealogical record of the Bible. The response most preachers give regarding genealogy is, “God cares about everybody and knows us by name.” That may sound sweet and caring, but that’s not a serious response from a theological point of view. Any serious Bible student knows that every scripture must fit together in harmony with the Bible as a whole, and hopefully with the established doctrines of their particular church.

According to Loraine Boettner, in his much-studied and theologically influential book, The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination, “The Calvinistic view is the only logical one if we accept the Scriptural declaration that salvation is by grace” (p. 103). Calvinists insist that God in His sovereignty, and in eternity, chose or picked out of mankind whom He would save (by means of Christ’s death and the work of the Holy Spirit) for no other reason than His own wise, just and gracious purpose. The Reformed Faith separates the human race into two portions and ordains one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death. As the Westminster Confession states:
By the decree of God, for the manifestation of His glory, some men and angels are predestinated to everlasting life, and others are foreordained to everlasting death. These angels and men, thus predestinated and foreordained, are particularly and unchangeable designed; and their number is so certain and definite that it cannot be either increased or diminished.
Andrew Jackson was elected to the Presidency in the year 1828. His bravery and military skill in defeating the British in the War of 1812 are well known. He fought many battles in open combat, but now he was facing an entirely different enemy. This enemy claimed to want the best for America just like him, and occupied high positions of responsibility just like him. One of these enemies was traitor Nicholas Biddle.
Most ministers call Abraham a “Jew” without justification or Scriptural evidence. Preachers refer to Moses and the ancient Israelites who came out of Egypt as “Jews.” Why? It is because they are taught to do so in their colleges and seminaries (controlled by jews). The book of Exodus calls them Israelites, the House of Jacob, Hebrews, Israel, and the children of Israel. Never are any of this race called “Jews.”
The 12 tribes heraldry and symbols used by the ancient Israelites have still survived to this day and are found amongst European banners, coat of arms and national icons. Click to view the video ...
