“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:9
In case Ecclesiastes 1:9 was not clear to the reader, the thoughts in Ecclesiastes 1:9 are repeated and expanded upon in Eccesastes 1:10 and 1:11.
“Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:10-11
It is UNDENIABLE that at every twist and turn of history, man considers himself to be the best and brightest that ever was.
Man thinks he is wonderful and the latest version of MAN is the BEST EVER!
However, God’s Word declares that man is basically on a loop of which he has no remembrance.
“There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:11
This not remembering the past will include those who dwell upon the new earth (which God will create).
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
–Isaiah 65:17
Perhaps this is why so many advertisements use that most over-used of advertising words: NEW!?
Perhaps this is why so many of the occult groups specialize in ancient, hidden knowledge?
Perhaps this is why many of the world’s authorities have such contempt for the histories written and compiled by man?
“History is a set of lies agreed upon.”
–Napoleon Bonaparte
“History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren’t there.”
–George Santayana
DOES the reader believe that all of the “modern conveniences” have NEVER before been used before our time?
DOES the reader believe that there IS something new under the sun?
DOES the reader believe the Word of God?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

“With the first presidential debate less than a week away, both the Obama camp and Romney camp are being careful not to overhype their candidates. They’re asking voters to lower their expectations and not get too excited. Or as voters put it, “Way ahead of you. Don’t worry about that.”
–Jimmy Fallon (2012)
“The presidential debates begin on Wednesday. Romney has taken two days off to prepare. They’re going to have practice debates. They’re going to do that for two days, and another full day of spray tanning, and he’ll be ready to go.”
–David Letterman (2012)
“In a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, President Obama said he has Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, and the Rolling Stones on his iPod. Unfortunately, the question was “Do you have a plan to fix the economy?”
–Jimmy Fallon (2010)
“I have an important message for those of you who have been posting your opinions about who won the debate last night on Facebook. Anyone who already agreed with you will continue to agree with you. Anyone who didn’t, won’t. Next time, instead of writing out a long, passionate thing, take a nap; you’ll be glad you did.”
–-Jimmy Kimmel (2016)
“Coolers and bicycles were banned from the debate, which makes you wonder what happened at previous debates where they said, “All right. From now on, no more coolers or bicycles at the debate.”
–-Jimmy Fallon (2016)
“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”
–On changing government statistics – George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
Do you believe the media? Then why do you believe their lying polls?
“Political campaigns today are all side shows, all honors, all bombast, glitter, and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the party scientifically, of supplying the public with party, candidate, platform, and performance, and selling the public these ideas and products.”
—Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

Time once again to revisit the topic of the so-called “Biblical contradictions.”
And this time, rather than read about the so-called “contradictions in the Bible,” the topic was brought up in a conversation!
The topic?
What happens to the earth? Does it get destroyed or does it last forever?
After answering the question(s) and later thinking, “Gee, that might make an interesting article,” it was discovered that this very question was already covered almost TWO YEARS AGO.
After re-reading what was written earlier, it was decided that what was written then on the topic was fairly comprehensive and correct.
“and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
–2PETER 3:10
RECONCILIATION: The earth will abide forever–though the old earth will pass away after the return of Jesus Christ and God will create a new earth.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
–Revelation 21:1,5
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
–Isaiah 65:17
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
–2PETER 3:13
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.”
–Revelation 20:11
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. and they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.”
–Isaiah 66:22-24
“Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.”
–Isaiah 55:6
SO, for the short answer (given to that inquiring mind on the day his questions were raised):
The earth we are living in presently shall be TOTALLY DESTROYED (by God, in God’s time, NOT by man in man’s timing). BUT a brand NEW EARTH will be created in its place. God will dwell on this newly-created earth with those men who were born again spiritually and eternally saved.
NOT just the earth will be re-fashioned: the heavens above the earth will also be remade. Which makes sense. The present earth has known sin. The present heavens ALSO knew sin (when Lucifer rebelled – Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14).
SO, God will create a heaven and earth that are perfect in every way and have NOT known transgression.
God’s Word is PERFECTLY CLEAR on the subject.
The earth WILL abide forever.
“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”
–Ecclesiastes 1:4
“Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.”
–Psalm 104:5
HOWEVER, the earth WILL undergo some changes.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
–Revelation 21:1,5
“Carmageddon” is what the local media are calling this weekend. One of our main freeways is being shut down for a few days. The result is a phenomenon called “really bad traffic.”

All we need is the willpower, a new economy, millions of good-paying jobs, new leaders in the White House and Congress and new citizens who place value on more than their own minute-to-minute financial well-being.
“California was discovered on this day in 1542 by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. To give you an idea how long ago that was, at the time he discovered California he was the only person in the state who spoke Spanish.”
–Jay Leno (2012)
And what is more dramatic than an apparent feud among the beautiful people, right?
Particularly if the “feud” is between celebrities, politicos or royal nabobs?
IN FACT, the rich and celebrated almost never disagree: they engage in feuds–sometimes for decades after they have ceased being celebrated for anything else.
What would the beautiful people do with themselves if not for their never-ending feuds?
Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when too many of the rich and celebrated have NOTHING “newsworthy” to do. When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.”
One popular singer’s entire marketing campaign over the years seems to have been based on engaging in one “feud” after another. But, as the “victims” appear to be primarily the singer’s “fans,” it’s hard to get too worked up over the ruse.
Sports, politics and celebrity culture, European royalty–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.”
Oh–and pro wrestling…
One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.
Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.
Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder, “Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”
—-University of Satan

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
–H.L. Mencken
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
“American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant.”
― H.L. Mencken
“Things are never quite what they seem. Events are seldom close to how the media and history portray them.”
“It is a free press…There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.”
–Mark Twain, speech: License of the Press
“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it.”
—Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda
“Journalists” are story-tellers. Nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes, there is an element of truth in their stories, but truth is not a requirement of what they do.
QUOTES: The preferred way to highlight the wisdom of this present world and the ungodly men and women the world chooses to lift up and honor.
THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD VS. THE WISDOM OF GOD
In search of something completely different, this writer came across one of those graphics so popular nowadays with the set that pretends to be Christian, or spiritual or something.
The reader is no doubt familiar: it’s a picture of a sunset, a sunrise, a forest, something that looks like “unspoiled nature.”
And, superimposed over top of the picture is a quote by someone considered wise by the person who put together the graphic.
These days, Albert Einstein is popular. The great majority of the time, the quote is of an antichrist nature. But that only enhances its popularity with worldly people in the times in which we find ourselves.
This particular graphic featured the following quote.
“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than walk alone in the light.”
–Helen Keller
And that pretty much sums up the difference between the world–-including 90+ percent of American “Christians”–-and the true believer.
The true believer walks in the light.
“Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.”
—John 12:35
Because he walks in that light, he understands that it will be a lonely walk scorned by the world.
This includes those lifted up, exalted and honored by the world–and who are quoted by those pretending to be Christians.
“NASA made a huge announcement that they have discovered for the first time liquid water on Mars. This officially makes Mars more qualified to support human life than California.”
–James Corden
1- This is a splendid example of the maxim “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”
Ironically, the author even uses this maxim to head his piece.
It’s tough to learn from history if one doesn’t know history.
“What Germany needed in 1937/1938 was time and a British/French unwillingness. What Iran needs in 2013 is time, and a U.S. unwillingness. The key difference is this: in 1938 Czech could not defend herself…. In 2013, Israel can.”
Is the author correct here?
No, he is not.
It makes no matter HOW MUCH anti-Obama rhetoric the author uses to insinuate himself with his readers, he cannot change history.
The contention that “…in 1938, Czech [sic] could not defend herself…” is not only incorrect, it is laughable.
In 1938, Czechoslovakia was in a MUCH better strategic position than Israel is in today. This is a matter of history.
In 1938, the Czechs had 35 complete and well-trained divisions, a booming armaments industry that was the envy of much of Europe and had a supposedly strong system of alliances. Just because Czechoslovakia’s allies proved treacherous did not negate the 35 well-armed, well-trained divisions occupying some of the best-defended, mountainous, reinforced borders in Europe.
In 1938, the Germans had 38 incomplete, poorly-trained, mostly-conscript divisions who faced a formidable obstacle in the Czech defenses.
In 1938, if there had been a one-on-one war (Germany vs Czechoslovakia), the Czechs, as a matter of historical record, could have held out. It’s very doubtful the Germans alone would have been able to conquer 1938 Czechoslovakia. It would have taken more treachery on the part of Czech “allies” before the Czechs would have had to capitulate.
“Sudetenland was of immense strategic importance to Czechoslovakia, as most of its border defenses were situated there, and many of its banks and heavy industry were located there as well.”
—Munich Agreement
However, the Czech leaders agreed to Munich and that capitulation destroyed their future ability to resist, as well as turned over most of the areas of their armaments industry into the German hands. This greatly strengthened Germany and greatly weakened the Czechs.
The Munich conference gave the Czech leaders the political cover necessary in order for them to capitulate to a weaker-but-more-bellicose Germany.
Of course, this all ruins the narrative of this article, but that’s only a splendid example of another thing:
2- It’s hard to construct a narrative omelet without breaking a few eggs of truth.
There is one area which the author of the piece could have compared 2013 Iran-USA-Israel with 1938 Germany-Czechoslovakia-Britain-France–but pointedly did not do so.
BOTH are/were staged dramas, readying their respective worlds for the commencement of the next world war.
And THAT is the point of history which man will be doomed to repeat because he did not learn any lessons from previous history.
That this entire article contributes to the Corporate Media narrative–unwittingly or not–should be apparent by asking yourself a few questions.
Why has the press elevated a weaker-but-more-bellicose Iran, with a potential nuclear arsenal–but no real nuclear capability as yet–to the status of Israel, which has an estimated 200 nukes (though Israel has never confirmed or denied an such estimates)?
Why the drama of Obama? Israel has been totally able to act independently of the USA political leadership in the past [Operation Opera]. Why is it not able to in 2013 when its leader is the supposedly-tough-and-independent Benjamin Netanyahu?
Why the seeming dependence of Israel on the machinations of the seeming undependable Barack Hussein Obama, America’s super-secret, undercover Muslim President?
This is the reason media narratives need to be ongoing and constant–and reinforced by the Internet’s Alternative Media: there are too many unexplainable points that need to be explained. The old narratives break down and don’t explain why events are happening. That’s the reason for the new narratives and the constant stream of media talking heads explaining the reasons for them.
One good example of this is the Republican-Democrat narrative. Since the R vs D doesn’t explain Republican senators voting for such things as cloture on ObamaCare, a new narrative was needed. So the narrative of “conservative” vs “liberal” Republicans was born.
When THAT didn’t explain the constant defections of supposedly “conservative” “Republicans,” then the narrative of the “RINOs” was born.
And so on, up to our present day. The next narrative will likely be for a “third party” that will be unelectable but uphold the principles of Americanism.
That new narrative will explain the continued failures of the American system to those who still believe in it. It will supply hope that the American political system will correct itself–despite an almost unbroken history that it will not.
That Americans still believe these contrived and convoluted explanations says a lot about the power of public education to dumb down the masses.

Some believe that there will be no more economic depressions–that man has mastered the art of providing good things.
There have been economic depressions. IN FACT, there have been economic depressions unrecorded by history.
How can we know this?
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:9
There have been economic depressions before.
There will be economic depressions to come.
Many church-goers believe that Ecclesiastes 1:9 is only referring to human nature. The verse is clear: it is referring to ALL human endeavors. If more would keep that in mind, there would be less “mysteries” in the worlds of science and the “paranormal.”
“Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:10-11
Written approximately 3000 years ago–and a source of modern wonder.
Until one remembers that God is eternal and his knowledge knows not the limits of time.
DO not let the reader be deceived: chaos (which includes economic chaos)–not peace, love and universal brotherhood–is coming.
IS the reader prepared for what is soon coming upon the earth?
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.”
–Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
Though men may boast and the ignorant may glory in the former things marketed as BRAND NEW AND IMPROVED!, “modern” man should keep in mind: been there, done that.
Back to the Future
Brand New, It’s Retro
Never before, never again
Though the children of men pretend it’s all new; all brand new…
…It’s good to be reminded from time-to-time: there is nothing new under the sun.
“For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.”
–Ecclesiastes 2:16
Mere mortal men make their grand plans and plot their dark schemes. Those who live in darkness fall to their knees with their mouths wide open.
Mere mortal men shake their tiny fists at the heavens and shout bold blasphemies at the sky. Other men applaud and shake their head in amazement and approval.
“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.”
–Psalm 2:4-5
Certain men accumulate wealth and earthly power. They believe they sit on top of the world.
ALL who trust in such things are deceived.
Certain men accumulate knowledge. They believe they control that knowledge.
ALL who trust in such knowledge are truly deceived.
Other men sit in darkness, accumulate lies and call it wisdom. They believe they control the future.
ALL who trust in pagan gods are hopelessly deceived.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
–Ephesians 6:12
Though men bluster and boast and dream old dream and call them new…
…it’s good to be reminded from time-to-time: there is nothing new under the sun.
“That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.”
–Ecclesiastes 3:15
It’s not yet too late to put aside that which cannot stand for that which is eternal.
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

–Proverbs 26:12
“That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:9
It really is true that there is nothing new under the sun.
Unfortunately, Ecclesiastes 1:9 is a largely-ignored Bible verse. So, modern man is deceived, thinking he is the top of the food chain; the “best that’s ever been.”
And because so many have placed their faith in doctored and false “history,” they believe that every “new” discovery is something never before seen.
Propping up this false history is false science.
“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:”
—1 Timothy 6:20
To make all of the deception work, pride and arrogance are necessities.
Appealing to man’s pride makes him an easy target for any number of unbelievable deceptions.
Which is why pride and vanity are some of Satan’s favorite sins.
In the end times, man will be ruled by a religious system from out of the long ago past.
“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
—Revelation 17:8
Perhaps that past goes so far back as to include the pre-flood civilizations, which were continuously evil.
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
—Genesis 6:5-6
The civilizations of the earth right before Jesus returns will be like the civilizations of the earth right before the flood.
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”
—Luke 17:26-27
Yes, Jesus was referring here to how suddenly destruction and judgment will overtake wicked man. He was also referring to how wicked man will be living his life, going about his business until–POW!–judgement and destruction overtake him.
But Jesus specifically says “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Both times are extremely evil when wicked men rule the earth.
The end times accounts throughout the Bible confirm this.
Mankind has been here before. And much time, energy, money and resources have been expended by the dragon and his minions to ensure that mankind remains ignorant of this.
It’s just part of the end times landscape of deception.
Courtesy of the mystery of iniquity and it’s leader, the dragon.
“And there is nothing new under the sun.”
Remembering this is a part of good end times preparation.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
That includes the same old lying signs and wonders.
When the future events which the Bible declares must take place occur, they will be the same ones which have already happened before, long ago in the past. Satan’s plan for the future is a refinement of the one he used before to deceive the world.
“There is nothing new under the sun.”
Men would do well to take this one verse from God’s Word to heart. It would prevent many deceptions which are already here and many which are to come.
But men prefer lies to the truth.
“Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:”
—Isaiah 30:10
In the end, man’s choosing to believe lies will be his undoing.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
—Isaiah 5:20
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19
Actually, they are doubly deceived. First, they believe they are working for the winning side in the cosmic battle against Jesus Christ and His Father, God Almighty.
Christians rely on God, not guns, groceries or gold.
New Hampshire defunds Planned Parenthood – Big deal. It’s not about abortion, naturally. It’s about bad publicity. New Hampshire just wants to find an abortion provider to fund with tax dollars that doesn’t have the baggage of the PP folks.
“It’s time for Governor Hassan to put politics aside and work with the Commissioner of Health and Human Services and the Executive Council to identify alternative health care providers to cover the services that were included in this contract [with Planned Parenthood].
Child murder has been a fact in America for over 40 years. It is not going anywhere until Jesus returns.
Are the culture wars over? – The new theme of the culture warriors seems to be “Make love, not war.” That slogan came straight from the mouth of the dragon.
Between swallowing everything wholesale and being skeptical, I would rather the household of faith be skeptical during these days, because Jesus Himself warned of false prophets, false teachers, and false Christs, who would deceive many. We’re not talking about a handful of people here; we’re not talking about a small gathering of folk. We are talking about a large swath of what we deem to be the Church being deceived by these ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing.
The new analyses reviewed previous studies of spirituality involving more than 44,000 cancer patients altogether. The studies varied in many ways, but religion and spirituality were associated with better health regardless of specific religion or set of spiritual beliefs.
“Spirituality” and “religion” are easier to promote than “church of the dragon.”
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
