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 ...

FrontPageMagazine.com | 3/20/2008 Apologists for Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright have tried to portray him as a traditional voice for the black church in America . ‚   But the Chicago minister, who belongs to the nearly all white United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination, is far more recognizably the voice of the traditional white Religious Left than he is for the historically more conservative black church.

(Ventura, CA)-Three years of research regarding ministry to children has revealed many surprising outcomes, according to a new book by researcher George Barna.

In an interview about his newly published auto biography Cliff Richard calls on the Church of England to update its views on same-sex marriages, arguing that all judgments on sexuality should be left to God. "I think the Church must come round and see people as they are now. Gone are the days when we assumed loving relationships would be solely between men and women. It seems to me that commitment is the issue, and if anyone comes to me and says: 'This is my partner; we are committed to each other', then I don't care what their sexuality is. I'm not going to judge; I'll leave that to God."Read more ...

Christianity Today is not a favorite publication of Moriel. However it is carrying an article on the property and bank account confiscation allegations scandal by the Christian & Missionary Alliance against Viet Namese Christians. We know and ‚  have known many outstanding C&MA missionaries including Bruce Downs, Orrel Steinkamp, and Garth Hudson. It is a movement with a noble history stretching back to A. B. Simpson and A. W. Tozer, two if the finest men of God of the 20th Century.Read more ...

There are many out there that say that America is named in the bible, often they point to Babylon and equate it to New York or Washington DC.

Major Prophecies in Daniel 2 and 7 indicate that the Holy Roman Empire will be the dominant force in the world when our Lord returns. Twenty five hundred years ago Daniel saw the Roman Empire revived from the dead in the end times.

Apprising Ministries Recently the Lord has been sending forth some clear warnings that His patience is up with the Evangelical Movement in this "One Nation Under Delusion." Dr. Alan Cairns sounded one such warning in his sermon "The Evangelical Cave-In," as he exposed the poisoned root of some of the rotten weeds that have been growing wildly in this section of His Vineyard for far too long. Even the latest issue of Christianity Today (Falling Away) features an interview with Ben Witherington III that shows just how far Satan's spiritual venom has been injected into the very bloodstream of Evangelicalism. Call it "New Evangelicalism," call it scholarship for the "increasingly postmodern setting," O call it whatever you want, it's still liberal theology and compromise in order for these man-pleasers to protect their own stature within American culture.

Moriel's response to new Mel Gibson film
We carefully watched the Mel Gibson interview by ABC's Dianne Sawyer with preview clips of the film in advance of its release on the Roman Catholic feast of Ash Wednesday.

Moriel se reaksie oor die nuwe Mel Gibson film. (In Afrikaans vertaal)

Over recent years there has been a steady build up of opposition to and outright rejection of what some term as "˜the theory' of "˜penal substitution'. Amongst the definitions for ,  "˜theory' is one that reads "“ "˜a conjectural view or idea'. When it comes then to understanding what was happening on "the cross of Christ" for the faithful Christian the doctrine of "˜penal substitution' is not a matter of "˜conjecture' but it is the factual and glorious heartbeat that sustains God's gift of "eternal life" [Romans 6:23]. "˜Penal substitution' is a factual divine truth that leaps from the pages of the Bible and to deny otherwise is quite simply to set oneself up as an "˜enemy of the cross of Christ'.Read more ...

Heresy isn't new, of course. These things have been around in every generation.

My name is Supriya Mitchell and I am an Indian woman who was born and raised in Pune, India. I now live in Virginia but still have friends and family back home that I visit as much as I can. Although I was raised in a Christian home, I was taken to Hindu temples by our maid who was and still is a follower of Hinduism when I was a little girl. I love much of my Indian culture but also am burdened for so many of my people who worship false gods. I know the religions of my homeland from seeing them first-hand, and I hope my perspective helps in this matter. I am thankful that the true God preserved and protected me from many of the evils associated with following Hindu gods or the god of Islam. Read more ...

The AG in the USA died a self-inflicted spiritual, moral, and ethical death during the Pensacola fiasco under Thomas Trask, their former czar in Springfield, Mo.

Great Britain is officially a Christian nation but is becoming more against the gospel. The same can be said about America. Please note the similarities between Tony Blair and Barack Obama.

Let me see if I understand the BBC Rules of Engagement correctly: if you're Robert Kilroy-Silk and you make some robust statements about the Arab penchant for suicide bombing, amputations, repression of women and a generally celebratory attitude to September 11 " “ none of which is factually in dispute " “ the BBC will yank you off the air and the Commission for Racial Equality will file a complaint to the police which could result in your serving seven years in gaol. Message: this behaviour is unacceptable in multicultural Britain.Read more ...
