Heaven, Paradise and the Lake of Fire

___The Holy Bible talks about 3 heavens (the atmosphere, outer space and where God "dwells"). The Qu'ran talks about Paradise (as does the Bible). Most "believers" agree that there is an afterlife in heaven. To get "in" you have to have been "good" during your life. Christians believe that only in Jesus Christ do they have righteousness, and that it is a free gift earned by Jesus on the cross.

___Many, even so-called christians, believe that a loving God will not condemn anyone to "Hell." But God is Holy and cannot coexist in the presence of sin. The believer, clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ is righteous to God. Any who trust in their own righteousness will spend eternity in the lake of fire (Rev 20).

___The Islamists will not be rewarded with Paradise for martyrdom in jihad. They will spend eternity in the lake of fire for rejecting Jesus. Jesus is the only way to fellowship with God.

Shariah Law Has Its Good Points

___Women are not allowed to vote. Barack Obama has been elected President of the United States twice by women. He had no experience in an executive role and very little experience in governing or foreign policy. His experience was with community organizing and with Project Vote. The results for the country have been disastrous.

___Women are not allowed to drive. Women, in general, are loving and generous. Because of this they do not handle 4-way Stops well. It is like the NC law (according to my Dad): When two trains approach an intersection, both shall stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has passed. At a 4-way Stop, the first to arrive at the stop must proceed. If another goes first, then they are guilty of “failure to yield the right of way.”

Muslim Extremists Justify Their Terrorist Actions

___Suppose I, as a “bible extremist” decide that all Muslims are “infidels” and should be killed. I use Exodus 21 and Matthew 5 as my biblical “instructions.” Jesus said “eye for eye, tooth for tooth.” If Muslims kill innocent people, then they should be killed?

___The Islamists are doing the same – although Mohammed never contradicted with “but I say unto you” as Jesus did! Mohammed was violent. Jesus was not.

___You say that I am quoting out of context. Do not Christians – even pastors – quote 2 Chronicles 7:14 without verse 13? They blindly endorse heretical replacement theology by taking a promise to Israel as a promise to the United States.

___A text without a context is a pretext!

Who is This Jewish Kid From Nazareth?

___Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but grew up in Nazareth. His stepfather was a carpenter and his mother was a homemaker. Both were direct descendants of King David. Jesus lived for 30 years working with his father and family before he started his ministry. His Earthly ministry lasted only three years before he was killed.

___When he was alive, Jesus did miraculous signs to prove that he is God. He did not use his power to prevent his abuse and death. Instead he took all of the sin of the world - past, present and future – upon himself in order that sinful men and women could have fellowship with a Holy God. He was raised from the dead; spent 40 days appearing to and preparing his followers; and vanished to Heaven. His Holy Spirit saves, teaches, sanctifies and strengthens men and women who trust in Jesus as Savior.

___The Jews were looking for a conquering king. They will see Jesus as King, but it will be too late for those who have rejected him. Jesus will reign on the throne of David in Jerusalem for 1,000 years while Satan is bound, and then Satan, his followers and those who have rejected Jesus will be thrown into the lake of fire forever.

Evangelicals Were Indeed Stupid in 2012

___M.I.T. Professor has labeled American voters as "stupid." I would agree that evangelicals were indeed stupid in 2012, because they didn't vote. They would tell you that they didn't want to vote for a Mormon, so then they stayed at home and enabled Obama to win.

___His records have been sealed, but we do know some things: Barry's mother married a Muslim Indonesian, and Barry attended Muslim schools during his formative years. Barry claims to be a Christian, but he is a Jeremiah-Wright christian. There is a world of difference, and it is evident in BHO's policies - particularly towards Israel.

___The movie Dreams From My Real Father claims that Barry was the bastard child of a married neighbor, a communist. Barry's grandfather worked for the CIA, and having a Communist Party USA member for his grandson's father was a problem. The CIA had some Kenyan students on exchange in Hawaii at the time, and Barack Obama was promised a free Ph.D. if he would marry and then later divorce Barry's mother. The book Dreams From My Father was probably written by friend Bill Ayers, and The Audacity of Hope was probably written by a speechwriter on now Barack's Senate staff. Barry attended prep school and college on Affirmative Action scholarships, and Bill Ayers' father (CEO of ConEd) got Barack into Columbia and Harvard Law.

___That a community organizer, head of Project Vote (famous for the dead voters) with few accomplishments could become state senator, U.S. senator and President twice is amazing!

Educating Includes Morals and Values - Dr Ben Carson

___When we instill morals and values into the educational process for young people, we help them realize they have an obligation to become well educated and informed citizens, and to contribute to the system as opposed to draining it of its resources. Public prayer and discussion of common principles that strengthen society's moral fabric are essential to establishing an atmosphere of courtesy and decency.

A Roman Catholic Pope in America

___I am a Protestant because I share the belief of Martin Luther and many millions since that the Roman Catholic Church had perverted the Word.

___The Pope does not speak authoritatively on any subject - spiritual or other. He is certainly not an expert on science or economics. He gets respect only because he is the elected head of the Roman Catholic Church with about a billion people worldwide. If he fails to challenge our President - or any other - on abortion or same-sex marriage, then he represents RCC positions poorly and cowardly.
