SATANIC TEMPLE:'MORE THAN 50% OF OUR MEMBERSHIP IS LGBTQ

In an interview with the British magazine Attitude, Lucien Greaves, the co-founder of The Satanic Temple in the United States, says that "more than 50% of our membership is LGBTQ," and that is a "conservative estimate."
Attitude is a best-selling gay magazine, founded in 1994. The Satanic Temple was founded in 2013 and it promotes a secular humanist agenda. The Temple, based in Salem, Mass., denies that there is an actual Satan and it claims that it does not worship the Devil.

INGRATITUDE OF THE IMMIGRANTS


Ingratitude of the immigrants

President Trump has been unarguably the most pro-Jewish, pro-Israel President we've ever had, surpassing George Washington, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln and Harry Truman. 
His stand against Iran (vociferous enemy of Israel), finally moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, cutting funds to the PA and closing the PLO office in Washington, his donations to Jewish causes, and developing housing for Russian-Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn are just some of the points, but many non-Orthodox American Jews are calling him antisemitic. 
It is primarily the Democrat Jews who appear antisemitic when they continue to support their party whose members explicitly express their hatred of Israel and Jews worldwide. 
It may be that their desire to distance themselves from their heritage in eastern Europe and Israel has rendered them irrational, and psychological projection has them denying their own impulses as they attribute them to others – specifically to President Trump.

Most recently, President Trump spoke out against the antisemitism spewed by Muslim Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, and was himself accused of bias. 
It is time to review the backgrounds of both women who are recognized as Islamic extremists and antisemites by such as Senator Lindsey Graham, Speaker Newt Gingrich, media personalities Mark Thiessen and Rush Limbaugh, as well as by Imam Tawhidi, who added Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the lot.
  • October 2015, Rashida Tlaib joined and praised activists who support terrorist Rasmeah Odeh, who is guilty of the deadly 1969 bombing in Jerusalem.
  • December 2017, Tlaib shared a Facebook post with Linda Sarsour in support of 17-yr-old Palestinian Ahed Tamimi, who assaulted an IDF soldier and promotes stabbings and suicide bombings.
  • February 2018, Tlaib joined Facebook group, Palestinian American Congress, which demonizes Jews and raised funds for her campaign. She denied both the Holocaust and the Jewish historical claim to Israel.
  • August 2018, for her victory speech, Tlaib wrapped herself in a Palestinian flag and promised to "fight against every racist and oppressive structure that needs to be dismantled," later telling the UK's Channel 4 News that she would vote against US military aid to Israel. Despite her own foreign garb, she accused Jewish Americans of dual loyalty and has since established a record of Jew-hatred and an affinity for radical Islam.
  • January 3, 2019, in a MoveOn.org reception, Tlaib warned that the President's days were numbered, and she'd "impeach the motherfu**er." She took her oath on the Koran, which is the antithesis of our Bible and Constitution, and affixed a sticker "Palestine" to replace Israel on her wall map.
  • A guest at Tlaib's swearing-in ceremony and private dinner was Abbas Hamideh, who equates Zionism with Nazism, and who voiced his support for Hassan Nasrallah, violent murderer of an Israeli Jew and his 4-year-old daughter.
  • During the week of January 2019, Tlaib condemned her congressional colleagues who did not support BDS against Israel.
  • March 2019, Tlaib posed with a Palestinian activist who had mourned the death of a Hamas murderer of a rabbi in Israel.
  • August 2019, Tlaib compared Israel to apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany, and co-sponsored a resolution to support the BDS movement. She consistently shows herself to be an enemy of our ally Israel and the Jewish people.
  • Most recently, Tlaib shunned a bipartisan delegation to Israel in order to schedule her own trip to be led by the anti-Israel nongovernmental organization Miftah, where she could agitate for the anti-Israel boycott and use her disinvitation as an accusation against the Jewish state.
  • Claiming racism, oppression and injustice, Tlaib used the event of her entry rejection into Israel to enhance her victimhood, and a way of showing Gaza's inhumane conditions. However, videos of interviews of her family show a healthy grandmother, free-standing home, and plentiful grounds with outdoor furniture on a lovely summer night.
  • Tlaib, Omar, AOC and Rep Prammila Jayapal co-sponsored a bill that accuses the Jewish state of torturing non-Jewish children; the bill was re-introduced by Rep. Beth McCollum.
Ilhan Omar claimed to love America but shows her disdain for our country at every turn with a decided detestation for Israel and the Jews. 
She called herself the President's "biggest nemesis"; 
said of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, "some people did something"; 
and wants our greatest ally, Israel, wiped off the face of the earth. 
The following are examples of her words and deeds:
  • In November 2012, Omar called Israel an apartheid regime that "hypnotized the world" in order to conceal its "evil doings."
  • In 2013, Omar said on PBS that she took a college course in terrorism, saying that the professor spoke with pride (his shoulders raised in intensity) about Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, but not when we say America.
  • During 2013-15, Omar, then a member of the Minneapolis City Council, acknowledged her friendship with Al-Shabab, a Somali jihad terror group.
  • Omar often characterized Israel as the "Jewish ISIS,' on Arab-American television, comparing members of Hamas to Holocaust victims.
  • Following the 2013 terrorist bombing that killed ~70 people in a Kenyan shopping mall, Omar blamed the act on a reaction to American injustices, and how the world contributed to Islamic radicalization.
  • After her election to the MN House of Representatives, November 2016, Omar wrote a judge for leniency in the sentencing of nine Somali-born men found guilty of attempting to join ISIS, blaming their desire for violence on alienation.
  • In 2016, Omar wanted the University of MN to divest its Israel bonds, and in 2017, she opposed a bill designed to counter economic boycotts against Israel, likening Israel to apartheid South Africa.
  • In 2017, Omar was one of two MN House members (out of 129) to vote against a bill that would allow life-insurance companies to deny payments to beneficiaries of suicide terrorists, and one of four to oppose legislation to make it a felony for parents to subject their daughters to female genital mutilation (FGM).
  • After only five days of winning her congressional seat in 2018, Omar worked to institute BDS to financially cripple the state of Israel.
  • In February 2019, Omar tweeted that pro-Israel lobby AIPAC was guilty of paying politicians to favor Israel: "It's all about the Benjamins, baby."
  • March 2019, Omar's disdain for Israel won praise from Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.
  • March 2019, Omar was keynote speaker for an Hamas-linked CAIR benefit event, along with Hassan Shibley, who will not call out Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations.
  • April 2019, Omar called for the release of a senior Muslim Brotherhood member detained in Egypt.
  • July 2019, Omar, Tlaib and John Lewis co-sponsored House Resolution HR496 for BDS, comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany.
There is no question that both Omar and Tlaib are antisemites who seek to destroy Israel and endanger Jews worldwide, and that the Democrat Jews who support those policies are collaborators. 
Those who speak ill of President Trump and PM Netanyahu and side with the Marxist-Islamic ideology emanating from the Democrat party, who compare the southern-border invaders to the Holocaust's Jewish refugees, and who failed to attend and celebrate the dedication of the US embassy in Jerusalem, Israel's capital, cannot be judged otherwise. 
Yes, President Trump's honesty may sting, but it is nevertheless honesty.

According to Jewish law, the Democrat Jews are still Jews, but the betrayal of their own brethren and heritage confirm that they are not in consonance with the laws and morality of Judaism – their hearts are elsewhere.

LEGALLY-PROTECTED SERIAL KILLERS


Legally-protected serial killers

We know that every abortion kills a human being created in the image and likeness of God
And we know that each of these individuals, from her biological beginning, is a unique and unrepeatable miracle.
Yet even though these facts can be known to everyone regardless of faith, the majority of Americans do not see these children as human beings. 
When it comes to abortionists, however, the story is different.

More than a few abortionists actually pride themselves on killing these babies with no apologies. 
The following is a grim reminder of their cruelty, their black hearts, and the evil they spread.

Abortionist LeRoy Carhart crows publicly about his profession, telling one reporter that he had no problem killing a baby "if it's in the mother's uterus."

There are two problems with that statement. 
The first is that he uses the word BABY freely and does so because that is who he is killing. 
For that, he has no apologies
In fact, he jokes about the practice. According to LifeNews, Carhart said: 
"'I think that it is a baby . . . and . . . I use it [the word baby] with the patients.'" 
The second is that, even though he uses the words "in the mother's uterus," Carhart performs very late-term abortions, also known as partial-birth abortions. 
In fact, he was the center of a Supreme Court decision that half-heartedly outlawed the procedure.

But Carhart is not unique to this genre of serial killers. 
Let's not forget Kermit Gosnell who, thank God, finally went to jail, but not because he killed babies prior to birth. 
Gosnell was imprisoned when found guilty of killing babies after they were born. 
In other words, his crime was killing babies who survived abortion but who died at his hand anyway because he was hell-bent on killing them.

Next we see New Mexico abortionist Dr. Carmen Landau, who is described as a family medicine doctor, when in reality she is a late-term abortionist. 
She administers injections to kill the children in utero and likens the practice to giving the baby "a flu shot." 
Landau is currently performing third-trimester abortions at Southwestern Women's in Albuquerque and at another location in Dallas, Texas.

Also killing babies in the third trimester at this clinic are Curtis Boyd, MDand Shelley Sella, MD.

Boyd is currently under investigation by the New Mexico Medical Board for the alleged death of a female patient who died following a late-term abortion. 
However, criminal charges have not been brought against him.

According to reports, Mew Mexico is the late-term abortion capital of the nation and is a state where late-term abortion is against the law but the law is not being enforced.

In another example of evil, we see Boulder, Colorado, late-term abortionist Warren Hern, who wrote in an editorial for the New York Times that "pregnancy is a life-threatening condition." 
Hern's letter was an attack on a the recently signed Alabama law, described as the most restrictive law in America. 
In his verbal attack on the law, Hern says: 
"Perhaps the vagueness of the law and the confusion is the point. 
Vagueness and confusion are tools of tyranny."

This is rich, considering the fact that this man makes his living killing little babies – the ultimate definition of a tyrant.

These notorious men and women – along with everyone involved in killing the preborn – are a pox on this nation. 
The evil they perpetrate is a stench that must be eradicated.

There is no such thing as an expendable or unwanted person. 
While it is tragic that in the United States the practice of abortion is decriminalized and our laws protect these serial killers, we carry on with hope and fervor knowing that our cause is just.

Abortion must end. Please God.

GENDER WARS AND THE LUNATIC LEFT



GENDER WARS: It's time to push back on the "True Believers" on the lunatic Left

"Heterosexuality just isn't working." - NBC news
"THE ASSAULT ON THE SEXES" by Jim and Andrea Fordham was published in 1977 and I'm just getting around to reading it. 
It was prophetic. An excerpt:

"Feminist writer Gabrielle Burton says that women's lib is seeking the most radical revolution of all, because 'it is challenging the nuclear family structure, monogamy, . . . our ways of thinking . . '

"Most people simply can't believe the radicals want to bring such extreme changes to our lives. 
The fact is they do . . In 1975, writer Haynes Johnson reported that a team of computer scientists at MIT [were] developing a computer model of the socio-economic behavior of Americans 
. . . In Professor Forrester's view of this future, 'laws, attitudes, expectations . . traditions, religions and government and corporate activities must all change' – not might or should – but must 
. . And oh yes, they want a reexamination of 'the overly simplistic view of right and [wrong]' that they say has been fostered by the churches." [end excerpt]

CD: It wasn't just MIT. 
This was the doxology, the ORTHODOXY in the faculty lounges all over this country, starting in earnest in the 1960s. 
They tried to hide it from the taxpayers though. 
TODAY they are totally out of the closet. 
They figure (wrongly) that taxpayers can be manipulated now, after more than 60 years of brain-washing college students with social engineering. 
And it's a world-wide philosophy among "the best and brightest" so-called.

P.S. If heterosexuality "isn't working," it's only that "our people" aren't having enough babies to replenish the population of the country. 
A conservative just got accused of "racist bigotry" for saying that. 
He didn't mean just white people; he said "our people" PERIOD (oh, and he's an American who married a lady of Indian ethnicity – as in India). 
He was accused of meaning just white people weren't having enough babies.

SO WHO ARE THE BIGOTS, THE "INTOLERANT" ONES? 
If this is "racism," the word has totally lost all meaning. 
Falsely accusing anyone of racism is the worst kind of it. 
Haynes Johnson further wrote:

"They callenge virtually every assumption of the American experience . . rethinking our religious and humanitarian traditions, rejecting the belief that size and economic growth are a virtue . . "

This is why O'Boma said that 2 percent growth was "the new normal"! 
These Ivy League types dearly want to "manage our decline," and they STARTED it decades ago. 
And they have every intention of rewriting our history, both past and future!!

That's why I coined the term "Academaniacs."


PPS: And now a word or two from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28, 1963:

"With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. 
With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. 
With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day 
. . . " [when people had thicker skin, courage, and people were to be judged by their character, not the colorof the skin (today's snowflakes wouldn't have been worth much in the Civil Rights effort, would they?).]

Never forget that MLK was a minister, as were many of his colleagues, and the "faith" he was referring to included his religious faith! 
Anti-history, anti-religion academaniacs leave out that minor detail of America's history!

Remember, good things happen when good people "get involved." 
It's time to get mad.

THE VITAL ROLE OF ENCOURAGEMENT


The vital role of encouragement
FacebookTwitterGoogle+
By Rev. Mark H. Creech
August 30, 2019


There is a story (supposedly true) concerning a preacher who read about a character in the Gospels called, "Simon the Leaper." 
He imagined all sorts of things that this leaper character might have done – leaping from mountain to mountain, hill to hill. 
And he preached a sermon on it. 
Then someone brought it to his attention that the man's name was "Simon the Leper." 
To which the preacher replied, 
"I don't see the need to throw away a good sermon just because of a difference in pronunciation."

If that sounds preposterous, allow me to tell you a similar story that is unquestionably true. 
The first two sermons I ever preached were during an evangelistic event in my hometown. 
Most of the people who came to the meeting, however, were fellow church members and supporters. 
I was only 15 years old with God's call on my life, still a babe in the Lord, but on fire for Christ.

In my second sermon, I preached about Christ's Passion, and I told the audience that night about the "scorching" of Jesus. Uh huh, that's right. 
Never mind the fact that the Scriptures say that Jesus was "scourged" and not "scorched." 
I imagined all sorts of things and explained the way I thought the Romans might have done it. 
They burned him with a hot iron. 
They put heat to him in some way. 
They "scorched" him, I vehemently proclaimed.

I never once knew my error until I discovered it on my own while having my private devotions two years later.

When I learned of my grievous gaffe, it brought me to tears. 
It wasn't so much my embarrassment that produced my emotional response (although I was mortified); instead it was the loving way people reacted to my blathering blunder. 
None of them ever said a word to me about it. 
They knew what I had done, but they didn't want me to become discouraged. 
That evening everyone was too busy telling me that I was going to be the next great Billy Graham.

If people had scoffed at my ignorance, I was so tender at the time it might have overwhelmed me to the point of quitting. 
The Lord, however, knew my nature and graciously hid the lapse from me until I was mature enough to handle it. 
Moreover, if my church family and Christian friends hadn't been committed to encouraging me....well???? 
I certainly wouldn't be able to laugh at myself about it today. 
Nor would I be writing about it.

Although I most certainly didn't turn out to be the next Billy Graham, I rejoice in the place God assigned to me and the victories gained therein for the Kingdom, none of which would have occurred, were it not for those who believed in me and thought that God could use someone as weak and unknowing as myself.

I Thessalonians 5:11 admonishes: 
"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up..."
I'm not arguing against ever correcting or rebuking someone. 
There is a time and a place for speaking harshly. 
Nevertheless, let's not forget the vital role of encouragement.

Garret Kell, the lead pastor of Del Ray Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, has eloquently said that encouragement is like oxygen. 
"It keeps hearts beating, minds clear, and hands inspired to serve."

Have you made a big mistake lately? 
Did you do something really stupid?

Perhaps you committed a gross sin, and the guilt is weighing heavily on you.


Be encouraged. 
You are precious to God. God's grace is much greater than all of our sin. 
We need only to turn away from our transgressions, turn in faith to Christ, and trust him for forgiveness. 
If amends are needed, then we should recompense where possible.

Be encouraged. 
Whatever error made, whatever the wrong committed, God's kindness and mercy can make it work for good. 
He can use the flames of failure so what is dross in our lives can be purged and what is gold can be refined.

One more thing, commit to being an encourager to others! 
There are few things as encouraging as being an encourager to someone who needs to be encouraged.

Be an encourager!

STUDY: THERE IS NO 'GAY' GENE

(The Hill) A sweeping new study finds that there is no specific gene that determines one’s sexual orientation, but that genetics do play a part in affecting a person’s sexuality.
Researchers for the study, which was published Thursday in the journal Science, studied DNA from hundreds of thousands of subjects and found some genes that are connected with same-sex sexual behavior.
While variations may play a part in influencing sexual behavior, they do not predict whether a person is gay, researchers found.

CHRISTAINS MUST VOTE TO RE-ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP


Christians must Vote to Re-Elect President Trump.
The alternative is Unthinkable.

The Democrats are Anti-Americans and Anti-Christs.
They are against the U.S. Constitution;
Against God and His Word,
As their Party Platform details.

The results of Democratic Rule are readily seen;
Look at every Major City they Rule,
And that is what they would bring to the entire Nation.
This would be a Disaster for America.

The Religion of the Democrats is godless,
Socialist, Secular Humanism,
Against God and His Word.

Under Democratic Rule,
America would have No Future, before the Living God.

America has No Future
As long as the following remain in place:

-Government Sanctioned:
-Abortion
-No School Prayer
-Same-Sex Marriage
-Promotion of Homosexuality as normal human behavior
-Promotion of Transgenderism
-Indoctrination of godlessness in Public Schools
-Unlimited Spending and National Debt

SHOULD CHRISTIANS VOTE TO RE-ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP?

Trump & evangelicals: The ends justify the means?

Michael Brown asks whether or not Christians should vote to reelect president

This is a perennial ethical question, one that is becoming increasingly relevant in our national elections. 
Do the ends justify the means? 
The simple answer is that it depends on what the ends are and what the means are.
In the view of author Ben Howe, when it comes to evangelicals voting for Donald Trump, the answer is no, the ends do not justify the means. 
The losses outweigh the gains. 
We may have made gains in the courts and elsewhere, but we have lost our credibility as Christians.
In the view of professor Darrell Bock, it may well be that our vote for the president has done more harm (in terms of the degrading of the nation) than good (in terms of pro-life legislation, pro-Israel moves and more).
In the view of strong Trump supporters, however, there's no debate to be had.
The man is fighting giants. 
He's pushing back against so many societal evils (both nationally and internationally), not to mention taking on the left-wing media, doing his best to drain the swamp and making positive decisions today that will help the next two generations. 
Who cares about some mean-spirited tweets and some ill-advised words? 
The man has been sent from God.
And so the debate continues, ceaselessly and endlessly, driven by the media and social media.
How, then, do we sort this out? 
Do the ends justify the means? 
Was it justifiable for evangelicals, who so prize morality and integrity, to elect such an unevangelical leader to take up their cause?
There is an interesting anecdote in the Talmud that discusses a related ethical dilemma. 
A person came to a rabbinic leader named Rabba and presented his problem:
"The ruler of my village came to me and said 'kill that person, and if you do not then I will kill you.' 
Can I follow his order so that I will be able to save myself?"
Rabba responded: 
"Allow yourself to be killed, but you may not kill another. 
Who says that your blood is redder than his? 
Perhaps his blood is redder than yours."
And what, exactly, does this mean? 
As explained by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, 
"On a simple level, Rabba's argument is that we cannot tell whose life is more valuable, so we will not allow you to save your life at the expense of another."
Based on this logic, the Talmud states that various laws can be broken to save your life, such as the Sabbath or the dietary laws. 
In other words, if someone puts a gun to the head of an Orthodox Jew and says, "Eat pork, or we will kill you," it's permissible for him to eat pork.
But if someone puts that gun to his head and says, "Kill someone else," or, "Engage in sexual immorality," or, "Worship an idol or we will kill you," then he must say no, even if it costs him his life.
So, when it comes to Jewish law, these three commandments (against idol worship, forbidden sexual acts and murder) "are so severe that a person should give up his life rather than perform the forbidden acts."
Many Christians have given their lives for similar principles, such as, "You can kill me, but I will not deny Jesus."
In such a case, the ends (here, saving your life) do not justify the means (here, denying the Lord).
But what if the ends are noble (saving other lives) but the means are anything but noble (lying, breaking some laws and being nasty)? What then?
Consider this illustration.
You get an emergency call from a friend. 
You have in your possession the antidote to a deadly snake bite, but it must be applied within one hour or the victim will die.
Your friend is frantic on the phone. 
Ten children, playing in a schoolyard, have been bitten by a venomous snake, but no one in the community has the antidote.
Thankfully, you have it, but you live 45 minutes away and there is road construction on the main highway.
The only way you can deliver the antidote on time is by violating the relevant traffic laws, getting out of your car and screaming at others to get out of your way and, to overcome one last hurdle, telling a blatant lie. 
But you arrive on time and the children are saved.
Would anyone question for a split second that the ends justified the means? 
Not a chance. You would be viewed as a hero (or heroin) and everyone would recognize that you did what you had to do to save lives.
When it comes to voting for Donald Trump, many evangelicals would say, "It's a similar situation. 
We were – and are – facing existential threats as a nation. 
Our very liberties are at stake. 
The lives of innocent babies are at stake. 
The makeup of the courts for the next 30-40 years is at stake. 
And on an international level, Christians were – and are – facing potential genocide, especially in the Middle East. 
Israel could be facing a nuclear Iran. 
Do you think babies in the womb or persecuted Christians in Syria or Israeli Jews care if Trump can sometimes be a brute? 
Wake up!"
Others would say, "Those, indeed, are weighty issues, issues of great importance. 
But what of the fact that we have lost our credibility as Christians by defending Trump at every turn? 
What of the fact that he has stirred up so much dissension and hatred, turning people away from the Lord? 
Is it worth it?"
These are the questions everyone must answer, especially those of us who are evangelical followers of Jesus.
But to me, there is a simple way forward. 
If we believe that Trump is the best candidate for president after weighing all the pros and cons, we vote accordingly, making clear this is just a vote. 
Then, by our actions, our words and the overall course of our lives, we show ourselves to be faithful witnesses for Jesus, feeling no need to defend the president at every turn.
Can it be done successfully? 
That's the big question of the hour.
