From a pamphlet which was given as a speech by the leader of Cincinnati's Hebrew Union College (College for Reform Rabbis), Jacob R. Marcus. It was his speech given on the 200th year anniversary of America's nationhood delivered to the 53rd General Assembly of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations; Dallas, Texas -- November 1975. The title of this speech was: The Jew and the American Bicentennail: "Ours is the greatest Jewry the world has ever known. ..."
The story started over 200 years ago. In 1780 the United States had two interest banks. Prior to this time it had NONE. The people didn't believe in interest since it was FORBIDDEN by their CHRISTAN religion. By 1800 perhaps 20 of these banks had come into existence.
How often do we hear someone say, “God gave us a free will”? What they usually mean is that they have freedom of choice. Free will and choice are two different things. In Romans 7:17 Paul says it wasn’t him making the choice: “Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.” If he’s making choices at the behest of a “law of sin” that has been put within his “flesh”, but not of his doing… where is the ‘free will’ here? I had to think long and hard about composing this sermon, so bear with me.
Each Christmas the Roman Catholic Church holds a special mass (Christ's Mass) at midnight at the Vatican. As a youngster and non-Catholic, I always wondered why? It seems like a very bad time to have a church service.
I never received a answer that seemed right to me--in fact, I never received an answer. Every one I asked, just said that it was "tradition." But on every Christmas eve at midnight, you could turn on the television set and see a great mulititude in attendance at the Vatican and at most of the Roman Catholic churches in the world.
By Jim Jester It shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. (Deut. 28:1) Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. (1 Peter 2:9) We have all heard well-meaning Christians say “keep Christ in Christmas.” I too have contended for this, but I soon realized this was a useless assertion. Is Christmas of Christian origin that was paganized, or of pagan origin that was Christianized? The answer to this question should determine if it is accepted or rejected by those honestly wanting to serve God. This article/sermon should give anyone enough evidence to answer this question. Is Jesus the “reason for the season?” If He were, then we should recognize Christmas as His birth and forsake the pagan customs that perverted it. In other words, “keep Christ in Christmas.” However, just the opposite is true. The evidence leads us away from December 25 as the birth of Jesus. He was never the reason for the season. The supposed Christian Christmas is simply a deceptive lie. I shall explain, on several fronts, why Christ should be taken out of Christmas.
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales and the subject gravitated to the Bible. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a person, because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The teacher became a little irritated and reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human being; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I’m going to ask Jonah.” The teacher smugly asked her, “What if Jonah went to hell?” To which the little girl replied, “Then you can ask him.”
This anecdote operates on several levels as to whether either party is right or wrong, carnal or spiritual or if it’s even funny. We hear much too often well-meaning Christians telling other Christians whether or not something is biblical without any inclination to hear the rest of the story; further information that will lead to a better understanding of the truth.
Question: Brother Davis, what are your thoughts concerning the elections?
Answer: If there was the slightest possiblility that these elections might restore the Republic, end the New World Order, or stop federal insolvency, they never would have been permitted!
Background: Before you consider anything else, can you think of even one campaign promise or debated issue, on either side, that proposed any federal action that fell within the lawful confines of the U. S. Constitution? Is this issue even important in this Day and Age, for Heaven's sake?
The Christian Identity message is basically founded on one premise or truth that can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Anglo Saxon, Celtic, Scandinavian, Germanic and kindred peoples are the true Israel people of the Bible. But, this wonderful truth is eclipsed by a terrible untruth that the jews are Israel; after all, that’s the name of their country and the Bible talks about jews right? It’s quite an accomplishment to get most of an entire race of people to think they are something they are not, but that’s exactly what has happened to White people. Somehow the jews have managed to get our people to think of themselves as gentiles, which is erroneously defined as non-jews. In other words, a non-jew cannot be an Israelite. And that presumes that the word jew included all 12 tribes, even though the initial claim was to only one tribe; that of Judah, hence the slang word jew coming from the first syllable. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Christian or if you think it’s a matter of religion, because the word gentile has been secularized into the English language. I guess it helps if you can buy out companies that publish dictionaries and you can change the definition of words.
What I want to focus on today is not the vast wasteland of dogmas and divisive doctrines that evolve into denominations because some religious leader thinks it’s the truth.
There is much confusion over the ownership of the land of old Israel in the Near East. God made a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15:18-21), to give his seed for the land “from the river in Egypt [Nile] unto the great river, the river Euphrates.” The only seed born to Abram while he had that name was Ishmael (Genesis 16). The present descendants of Ishmael living in that area base their claim on this promise.
