Logic: A Gift From God Not To Be Thrown Out The Window

- Category: Scott Noble
Moriel Thailand
July 7, 2014 Famous hymn writer Isaac Watts also wrote a book about Logic. In this book he said, "The power of reasoning was given us by our Maker, for this very end, to pursue truth; and we abuse one of his richest gifts, if we basely yield up to be led astray by any of the meaner powers of nature, or the perishing interests of this life. Reason itself, if honestly obeyed, will lead us to receive the divine revelation of the gospel, where it is duly proposed, and this will show us the path to life everlasting." (Watts, 325)Read more ...

May 2014 Introduction Heaven Is For Real " A Little Boy"s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back is a sales phenomena; a 2010 New York Times bestselling Christian book, which according to the publisher"s own website (Thomas Nelson Publishing) has sold over 6 million copies worldwide; a recent article in the Daily Mail (8/5/2014) put sales of the book at 10 million. In fact, sales of the book have been so successful that it has recently been given the full "Hollywood treatment" by TriStar Pictures (owned by Sony) and made into a big-budget motion picture starring Greg Kinnear (star of movies such as You"ve Got Mail with Meg Ryan, As Good as it Gets with Jack Nicholson and Green Zone with Matt Damon).

How to be Canonized a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church
- Details
- Category: Abuse Reports
by James Jacob Prasch In the aftermath of the Vatican 'Rat Line' when the Roman Catholic church hid Nazi war criminals in convents and monasteries and smuggled them away from justice into hiding in pro fascist Peronist countries in South America (the Vatican ardently refuses to open these records from its secret archives) , Pope John XXIII promoted Jesuit theologian Michael Schmaus to cardinal calling Schmaus "The Theologian of Munich". Indeed he was . It was Schmaus who authored the treatise ' Empire and State' furnishing the Roman Catholic theological basis for Roman Catholic support of Hitler & The Nazi Party rising to power in coalition with the Zentrum, the Roman Catholic party of Bavaria headed by privy chamberlain to the pope Hans Von Pappen. Von Pappen was responsible in World War I for the Black Tom terrorist attack in New York harbor, at that time the largest terror attack to have ever taken place on US soil. Von Pappen was convicted at Nurmberg but never hung due to the probable intervention of Pope Pius XII.Read more ...
Noah and the ‘Rewritten Bible"
- Details
- Category: Items of Various Interest
by Anthony Royle Before I watched the film of Noah I thought the film would be a case of "this is how it really happened". I imagined that the story of Noah would be demythologized in order to rationally explain that climate change caused the flood, the flood was localised, Noah would be a religious nut who heard voices in his head to build an ark and there would be no rainbow at the end. I was wrong. Instead, what Darren Aronofsky has done is enter the realm of the "rewritten bible". Not quite technically a genre, the "rewritten bible" are works that are based upon biblical stories that are retold in a way that explains difficult passages and principles of the bible in more detail and/or presents a new theological twist to answer contemporary questions of the day. During the Intertestimental Period (Between Malachi and Matthew) many books were written in this manner. Two outstanding works of this period that deal largely with narratives from Genesis are the Book of Enoch (which the Epistle of Jude quotes from) and Jubilees. Both of these books, more so Enoch, deal with the theological implications of the flood. The film of Noah implies that it is doing the same. I wouldn"t say that the film draws from these works, apart from the focus on the Watchers rather than the Nephalim, but keeps to the general narrative of Noah with a few fundamental differences that fit the films agenda.Read more ...

by Mike Oppenheimer We have been hearing from a number of people on four Blood (red) Moons for 2014, making it is a unique and significant event. We are told the first of these four Blood Moons is to occur on Passover (Pesach) 2014 and through October (Sukkot) 2015. We are reminded by those pointing this out of Jesus saying there would be signs in the sky, specifically that the sun would be darkened and the moon would turn blood red.Read more ...

Jan 27, 2014 Collapse of the mega churches and beyond. In 2008, several months before the sub prime crisis, I publicly shared a teaching called "Everything That Can Be Shaken" which was promptly filmed and recorded in the USA ,and UK and placed in the public domain. I, of course, make no claim to being a prophet and I regard those who do make such claims concerning themselves to be are either false ones or just plain religious crackpots. I was not the only person to issue such a predictive warning and was probably not the first. I was just one voice among various others that I am now aware of (but was not at the time) who believed the Lord was warning us that a financial crash was coming that would impact the church, including major supposedly Evangelical churches.Read more ...
Pope Francis - The Religious Hypocrite Whose Religious Hypocrisy Knows No Bounds
- Details
- Category: Abuse Reports
Jan 23, 2014 The history of treachery, immorality, corruption and murder that has defined the Roman papacy for centuries has ranged from the Bourga and Medici popes of the Middle Ages to the Ambrosiano bank scandals of the present age. As the 'Criminale Solicitacciones' instruction first issued by Pope John xxxiii and reissued by Cardinal Radzinger cum Pope Benedict under the direction of Carol Wojtyla cum John Paul II shows the Vatican instructed the cover up of pedophile sex criminal priests & nuns at the expense of not protecting the Roman Catholic children whose lives were being destroyed by their sex pervert clergy. Indeed the document indicates, even reveals, that the Vatican was aware that their priests and nuns were having sex with animals. The American Bush administration pushed to have the civil prosecution stopped by the Justice Department and courts of Ratzinger for political reasons to do with diplomacy without reference to the legal merits of the case.Read more ...

Recipe for Shipwreck: Misguided Endorsements of Madame Guyon's Works
- Details
- Category: Scott Noble
Dec 13, 2013
Updated Dec.31, 2013 Madame Guyon (AD 1648-1717), whose books are riddled with shallow, jagged rocks, capable of shipwrecking the unwary traveler, was endorsed, to one degree or another, by many respected leaders of the past, such as Count Zinzendorf, John Wesley, Adoniram Judson, Charles Spurgeon, A.W. Tozer, Watchman Nee, and others. How could all of these men possibly be wrong? That's really not the right question, since only the Bible is our infallible guide. In our own day and age, many evangelical leaders endorse the life of "Mother" Teresa, in spite of the fact that many of her mystical practices and doctrinal statements undermine biblical beliefs and spirituality. Helping the poor is a great thing, but that can be done biblically, while also helping the poor to come to eternal salvation through Jesus Christ, not just giving a temporary fix which leaves the person ignorant of the gospel.

If it were a noisy flier with neon orange feathers, it would have a hard time sinking its talons into a potential meal. The doctrines of demons are often camouflaged as well, so as to hide the potential danger from their target audience.

I`m happy to report to all of you that the Lord is moving in Baja and is using this wonderful couple Alfredo and Leticia Zepeda. This past Monday we delivered some food and study supplies to their home were they hold a weekly home bible study, this couple is very evangelistic oriented they have expressed to me that they have the desire to go were the Lord leads them and have abandoned all intentions to comeback to the States. Bro. Alfredo has expressed to me in the last 5 months the intentions of starting a church in the barrio of Otay on the east end of Tijuana on the way to Tecate and Mexicali. There are many challenges ahead but the Lord has shown his faithfulness they are currently attending a pentecostal church nearby but have also raised many questions about the theology of that particular church but nonetheless continue not to be a disruption but to wait on the Lord for their next step. This plan of starting a church has been a vision for Bro.Alfredo for the last year. Pastor Marco has been supportive in asst.me in prayer and making sure if Bro. Alfredo is serious about what the Lord wants for his life.

Recently I was put into the unnerving position of travelling in an aircraft that after a long flight across the Pacific was then put into a further holding pattern over the Sea of Japan. A torrential rainstorm was covering Tokyo and so the pilot shrewdly placed us once more out over the ocean, whilst things developed at the ground level. It being Typhoon season in the Far East was prompting this necessary and wise precaution. In fact as I found out later, a severe tropical storm had pounded the coast a few days before our arrival and a typhoon actually struck Japan"s shores soon after our departure from the mission trip.

By James Jacob Prash Steve Chalke, Lucy Winkett, and Graham Kendrick gang upon Israel. We have long ridiculed the hypocritical idiocy of the left wing press, fundamentalist Islamic interests, the politicians they own in Washington and London, and anti Semites at the targeting of Israel. As no one can contest, Israel simply has by far the best record of human rights (even for homosexuals and lesbians), women's rights, civil rights of free political expression and an independent judiciary, and above all the best Christian rights in the Middle East. Every hypocritical apologist for Islamic terror, every left wing propagandist at the BBC and CNN masquerading as a journalist, and every left wing pseudo-academic parasite masquerading as a scholar, habitually ignores the grossest violations of human rights, civil rights, women's rights, and the unspeakable persecution of Christians throughout the Moslem world and in the Islamic nations surrounding Israel, choosing instead to divert attention away from this reality by designating Israel as a villain.Read more ...

Book Review: The Popular Handbook on the Rapture
- Details
- Category: End Times
by James Jacob Prasch (Edited by Tim LaHaye, Thomas Ice & Ed Hindson)
(Published by Harvest House) "Experts Speak Out on End Times Prophecy" This book contains a series of chapter articles by a compendium of authors, including the general editors Tim LaHaye, Thomas Ice and Ed Hindson, as well as chapters contributed by Paul Wilkinson, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, David Reagan, Wayne Brindle, Michael Vlach, Wayne House, Grant Jeffrey and Robert Dean. I count the general editors among my personal friends and conference colleagues as I would various of the contributing authors. I certainly appreciate the impact Tim LaHaye has had in propounding belief in the Rapture in a popular season where Rapture belief and eschatology generally has greatly declined. I likewise consider the refutation of Dominion Theology by Thomas Ice and Wayne House to be the finest single work ever authored in opposition to that false school of doctrine. I am furthermore unable to express the depth of my appreciation for the longstanding work of my friend Arnold Fruchtenbaum, who personifies the theologically sane axis of the modern Messianic Movement that has been so plagued by lunacy. Residing in Great Britain, I can testify that the work of Paul Wilkinson in confronting so-called "Christian Anti-Zionism" and "Christian Palestinianism" to be absolutely invaluable.Read more ...
