Self-proclaimed television prophet Cindy Jacobs recently told her followers that her faith once caused a woman to re-grow a cheek bone in seconds and that she was able to self-heal a grapefruit-sized tumor caused by Satan.

In a web video posted last week, Jacobs explained that she once felt “crippled in my gift” to heal because she prayed for someone and they died.

“I was so hurt over this that I wasn’t willing anymore to extend my faith, I was shipwrecked,” she said.


But at a prayer meeting, Jacobs said she began to “move out powerfully in faith.”

“I gave this prophecy, ‘You were in a car accident, and it destroyed your right cheekbone, so literally there’s a hollow under your cheek, you have no cheekbone. Where are you?’” she asked people at the meeting. “You see, that even takes faith to ask someone to stand up when you’re ministering like this.”

“And so, this woman stood up, you could see that she had been in a car accident, she had that concave, you know, look to her cheek,” Jacobs continued. “And I said, ‘Reach up and feel it.’ And she did. And as she rubbed her hand over her cheek, when she moved it away, you could see, God had grown the bone right under her hand.”

“Praise the Lord!”

Jacobs said that she was also able to heal herself after God showed her “the root of some things that allowed sickness into me.”

“I once had a grapefruit-sized tumor in my body, and the Holy Spirit showed me the source of that,” the TV prophet recalled. “It had come from a root of unforgiveness and a root of wounding. And, in fact, it was near — or behind my female organs or whatever and the Lord showed me that Satan had wounded me as a woman.”

God decides—on Rosh Hashanah, actually—how much money each person needs for his or her tasks in life. Some people are meant to have more money, others are meant to have less. But God apportions the amount, and it’s always for a good, Heavenly Decided reason.

Quote# 96772

Americans appear to have begun entering a more conservative phase, reflected in part by the popularity of the family-oriented, God-loving TV show Duck Dynasty. Although it is not a big expensive production, just a reality show, it has become the second most popular show on cable TV.

Yet this isn't translating into changes in Americans' politics or their government. Americans are still voting for Democrats, accepting socially liberal positions and expanding government. The reason is simple. Liberalism self-perpetuates itself if left unchecked because people are lazy. This is due to the nature of government. It is difficult to feel the effects of incrementally raising taxes and increasing spending across the board.

[...]

The left is also winning the culture war. While Americans deep down prefer shows like Duck Dynasty, they're allowing the left to win on social issues. The left has accomplished this by portraying Republicans as cold and heartless, using emotional arguments to sway the public. Republicans can turn this around by doing the exact same thing back to the left. Portray the woman who wants to abort her baby as cruel and selfish, and showcase those children who grew up with permanent injuries as a result of an attempted, botched abortion. These kinds of portrayals must be done frequently and everywhere. It must become common knowledge that the left has cruel and selfish policies that injure people, in order to turn the tide.

Conservatism is too cerebral for many Americans. Consequently, the right has to try twice as hard as the left to gain support for its policies. This means working smarter too, by using methods that are effective like emotional arguments. Although it may feel foreign to most on the right to use an emotional argument about something that is not terribly worthy of emotion, to continue down the same old path that no longer works is slowly making the Republican Party a minority. Republicans need to quit lamenting over the backwards fact that the most intelligent party is not the most successful.

Hold on cowboy, Christ says "28 “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

So the burden of proof on you to establish that Christ's Kingdom did not come as described before all of those men died.

[From Patrick Henry College's Faith and Reason Lecture - attendance compulsory - on the war against Christianity]

Since the inception of their Revolution—and well beneath the media radar screen—militants have been creating a panoply of new crimes and expanded redefinitions of existing crimes—all involving sexual relations. While it is very likely that the Sexual Revolution has also increased incidences of real sex crimes, the new gender crimes are very different: They play on the fear of sex crimes, but they redefine these politically to include not simply acts but heterodox political beliefs. The reality of the witch hunts thus bears no necessary relation to what is suggested by the inflammatory language and jargon:
?“rape” that includes consensual relations and in most instances is no more than that;
?domestic “violence” that involves no violence or any physical contact or threat of it;
?sexual “harassment” that can mean anything from simple flirtation to unauthorized opinions about morality or politics;
?“child abuse” that is routine parental discipline, or homeschooling, or concocted altogether to win advantage in divorce court;
?“bullying” that involves criticism of the homosexual agenda or other differences of belief and opinion;
?“stalking” that is forcibly divorced fathers trying to see their own children;

And much more.

Quote# 96752

Privileges, whether earned or not, give one an advantage over others who do not share them. However, the advantage is relative; it does not exist when the unprivileged are absent.

Therefore, one would expect that if white privilege were real, in order to capitalize on it white people would be rushing to surround themselves with nonwhites, avoiding white neighborhoods, going to majority nonwhite schools, doing business mainly with nonwhites and working with nonwhites.

In the meanwhile, nonwhites would avoid majority white neighborhoods, institutions, schools and workplaces, because they would be at a disadvantage in these places.

Do we see this happening?

Nope.

The concept of male privilege can be debunked in the same manner. If men really were privileged, why would women push so hard to gain entrance into male institutions, and men have so little interest in female ones? The implication here is not that men have privilege, but rather that women do.

So next time someone blathers on about “white male privilege,” simply ask: if it really exists, why is it that so few people take advantage of it?

Quote# 96751

Liberal Christianity" is an oxymoron. It's like claiming to be Nazi sympathizer while loving Jews and being in the peace corps.

I personally made the decision to disbelieve in "God" because of the pressure to do "good" & "charitable" deeds & live right for "God" once pronounced "saved". I embraced atheism because it fit with what I wanted for my life; to be free from a transcendent authority (I mean it's already difficult enough to listen to the police or a judge or pay taxes to the IRS or what have you). Sure when I give real consideration to atheism, I see all the contradictions it poses intellectually, scientifically, ethically/morally, but on the other end when I give atheism real consideration, now I can sleep with as many women as I want, cheat, steal, mistreat my neighbor, or commit any "crimes" (so long as I can get away with it of course) because after all I ultimately say what's right and what's wrong and no transcendent God is going to tell me what to do or how I should live and treat others and anyone who tells me otherwise he's a hypocrite for trading one "Authority" for another "authority". I can contradict myself whenever I want because what "ultimate" authority is there to tell me I can't tell a lie or be illogical. When I pickup a "scientific" publication as long as it's in the name of science, I'll believe it over the Bible regardless of the ridiculous implications and hidden contradictions that lie within it. And though I hinted at the sexual freedoms inherent in true "atheism" I have to elaborate on it some more. I don't want to limit myself to woman, I mean men, barn animals...the skies the limit. Thank "God" for atheism.

I know the sarcasm is blatantly apparent in the writing above, but seriously consider the implications of atheism. As a Christian, having my eyes illumined by the Holy Spirit, there is no answer to the contradictions and problems that lie with atheism. And the errors people claim to find in the Bible I have yet to hear a valid error. God has created all things and directed man's history in such a way so that everything that is opposed to Him (God) contradicts or destroys itself intellectually so that in the end there is no excuse for rejecting Him.

Vagina muscles and female pleasure for the win.

Before the fall, all of Eve's pain receptors in the vagina were pleasure receptors.
The woman experienced not only the phenomenon of "premature" orgasm that NORMAL males are plagued with, but to a higher degree and with perpetuity.
In this fashion, Eden-istic sexual intercourse consisted of the male entering the female, followed by immediate or almost immediate orgasm by the female, resulting in vaginal contractions that "milk" the penis, which is almost also near orgasm, to completion. Any "in and out" activity by the male maintains and compounds the pleasure received by the female, beyond her ability to cope. The natural response is to escape (the way tickling is averted) and the only reason the man is superior in strength and aggression is so that he can hold the female in a state of ecstasy that she cannot otherwise achieve.

Initial sexual intercourse for the woman (pain of losing virginity) would have been
unbearably pleasurable in Eden. And childbirth would have been an over the top joyous occasion. Babies would have laughed with their first breath instead of crying. The body does not age, and the vagina is returned to it's pre-child birth state each time.

This will be restored in paradise, and everyone goes there, one way or another.
So get ready ladies. First, death to self on behalf of brotherly love of others must occur in the core of the heart and the works of the hands.
This is how religion, particularly modern christianity is not able to reach you.
God is a VERY sexual and sensual creator.

Eve caused the pleasure/pain switch to be flipped temporarily for all women.
This is so that she could no longer receive the reward of sex while she continued to barter with it for power over the male, corrupting true equality.
The result is that now the man must "toil in the earth" for it to bring forth the woman's orgasm. And most of the time, it doesn't, and the result is her dissatisfaction, "thorns and thistles". Of course this imagery also pertains to things like understanding the story, and dealing with life in general.
Circumcision was God's "equalizer". By desensitizing the male, he can work until the woman is satisfied. As a result, she returns more often for sex, and the father of a great multitude is made.

I send you "Elijah", and he shall restore ALL things! Even the nitty gritty.
Shalom.

This is a flat out lie. There are no open-ended commands in the OT or the NT for Jews or Christians to commit violence against unbelievers or against anyone. You cannot produce any because they do not exist.

Therefore, there are no Jews or Christians committing such acts, on a regular basis, all over the world, in obedience to any such commands.

Why are most atheists so primitive & dumbed down?
Is it because satanic, anti-God Illuminati propaganda is usually really, really stupid? Hitler said that the most effective propaganda must appeal to the lowest minds of whom it seeks to influence.

All the vile, violent, mindless, corrupt, crude, disgusting, foolish, stupid, demoralizing, anti-intelligence propaganda in the mainstream media is usually full of satanic symbolism, Cultural Marxism political correctness, secularist ideologies, pagan new age egoism nonsense, and especially anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-philosophical principles of logic, anti-family, anti-morality messages.

So the poor atheists really have no smart idols to worship in God's place, only really stupid ones like youth-dehumanization movies/songs/shows.

The only people they have are: 1.Bill Maher, who blatantly lies about Protestantism being the same as Catholicism in the middle ages, and spews the zeitgeist myths while doing the same Masonic hand signs as any other satanic Illuminati media jester. 2.Sam Harris, who makes things up based on opinion, and generalizes religions while lying about them having anything to do with war. 3.Hitchens, who died a miserable failure of debate against William Lane Craig. 4.The Amazing Atheist, who's just a fat, retarded buffoon who obviously got picked up by Illuminati & paid to use stupidity to sway the minds of his mildly-retarded, miserable God-hating, good-hating fans. 5.Aron Ra, who admits that he's a satanic liar who would brainwash his fellow man against God til' death even if he didn't pretend to be an atheist.

The poor psychopaths can't even trust their idols, because they understand by personal experience that their fellow atheists are just as amorally deceptive as they are.

Quote# 96732

Theism is closer to science than Atheism.
There is no relationship between atheism and science but a lot shows that there is a great link between atheism and Satanism.

Similarities and differences between atheism and satanism

The similarities (are:)
They share wicked principles like murder, cannibalism, etc
They both hate God
Both lie and believe lies
Both agree and are proud and arrogant
Both are perverts
Both hate God's Word
Both attempt to destroy the earth
Both are clandestine in operations
Both enjoy and practice delinquency and lack of being accountable
Both do not submit to authority
Both do not acknowledge their own Creator
Both have fallen

The differences are:
Atheists can repent while Satan can not
Atheists have hope while Satan does not have hope
Atheists CAN CHANGE

On the other hand Theism explores THE SCIENCE OF CREATION
Theism agrees to the law of flotation but teaches that it can be broken by faith if you walk on water in faith.
Theism believes in healing-medicine etc
Theism believes in agriculture-see the vine and the branches in the Bible
Theism believes in grafting technology-see the book of Romans
Theism believes that gravity existed: ascension day is special, avionics and space technology was practiced long before man discovered it! Jesus physically went up towards the sky and clouds covered him! So space technology is not new in the word.
Talk about weather forecast technologies: Elijah earnestly prayed and it did not rain for 3.5 years and when he prayed, he forecast that it would rain in a few minutes!

The Bible also provides the foundation for modern science. In order to even be able to do a scientific experiment, we must be able to rely on our senses, rely on logic, uniformity of nature and an objective moral standard. None of these comport with the atheistic worldview. As an evolutionist how do you know your senses are even reliable? How do you know you can rely on logic as the correct way of thinking? In a random chance universe how do you explain uniformity of nature? And how do you explain objective morality? If you don’t think there is an objective rational standard for morality, then why are you here condemning Dr. Lisle for you consider to be lying?

You have two options: you can be irrational, and continue to believe in uniformity and logic despite having no logical reason for them; this is akin to a child believing in the Easter bunny. Or, you can repent and embrace the Christian worldview, which will give you rational justification for the properties of laws of logic and uniformity in nature. Hypothetically, you could try to come up with some other justification for uniformity. But all who have tried that have failed rather spectacularly.

[RE. an article about a Creationist who claims T-rex was a vegetarian.]

They still can't even figure out if they were cold or warm blooded. What they claimed was evidence for one or the other is later discounted by more study.

Teeth don't necessarily decide who is a carnivore - human teeth for example. If humans had only lived at the times of the dinos, (going along with the long ages to make a point) - and some other intelligent being other than human had found their remains, going by their teeth they would probably think humans were all vegetarians. And they would be terribly wrong.

Chimpanzees will not eat meat, unless they can't find enough food; then they will kill small animals and eat them.

It seems to be more a matter of environment. Why chase down food if you can just graze around and find plenty?

The great flood changed the ecology. Food was scarce. Man lived in caves until civilization could be built back up. Creatures that could not adapt in the new environment died out. There's flood legends among people all over the world. There's evidence for massive flooding all over the world, from Australia to America to Europe.


2 Peter 3:3


Dinos ate meat or veggies? They don't know. And anyone who tries to tell you they know for a fact what they ate, doesn't really know.

The head of Adana’s Health and Education Association for Autistic Children, sociologist Fehmi Kaya, recently caused a stir when he claimed all autistic children were “atheists due to a lack of a section of faith in their brains,” while adding that atheism was a form of autism, according to research.

“Autistic children do not know believing in God because they do not have a section of faith in their brains,” Kaya said, according to daily Milliyet.

Kaya said the underdevelopment of faith sections in the brain caused autistic children to not believe in God.

“That is why they don’t know how to pray, how to believe in God. It is needed to create awareness in these children through methods of therapy.”

Kaya added that autistic children should undergo treatment to “create areas of faith in their brain.”

“They need to develop feelings and learn to form empathy with others. They need to understand why normal people do what they do. As a result of that, they would need to understand that there is a creator, to whom the people pray to and believe in; and they need to understand and internalize that. That way a section of faith can be formed in their brains,” Kaya was quoted as saying.

Autistic children were atheists from birth without being aware of it, Kaya said, adding, “Research says atheism and autistic children are linked. Researchers in the USA and Canada say that atheism is a different form of autism.”

“We cannot expect a child who cannot recognize a picture to recognize God. We need to help the autistic child recognize objects through therapy by targeting areas of senses in the brain,” Kaya said.

Kaya also said that they will turn autistic children into believers through therapy sessions that will be offered freely in therapy centers in the future.

The Physics of Gay Marriage

“To start with, physics is one of the most fundamentals of all the sciences and I used two bar magnets in my research. A bar magnet is a horizontal magnet that has the North Pole and the South Pole and when you bring two bar magnets and you bring the North Pole together you find that the two North Poles will not attract. They will repel, that is, they will push away themselves showing that a man should not attract a man. If you bring two South Poles together you find that the two South Poles will not attract indicating that same sex marriage should not hold. A female should not attract a female as South Pole of a magnet does not attract the South Pole of a magnet. But, when you bring a North Pole of a magnet and a South Pole of a magnet they will attract because they are not the same, indicating that a man will attract a woman because of the way nature has made a female. Even in physics when you study what is called electrostatics, you found that when you rub particles together they don’t attract each other but when you rub particle in another medium they will attract each other. For example, if you use your biro and rub it on your hair, after rubbing, try to bring small pieces of paper they will attract because one is charged while the other one is not charged. But if both of them are charged they don’t attract, which means that man cannot attract another man because they are the same, and a woman should not attract a woman because they are the same. That is how I used physics to prove gay marriage wrong.

The Chemistry of Gay Marriage

“In chemistry, I used chemical reactions and we have different types of chemical reactions. We have double decomposition reaction, decomposition reaction, neutralisation reaction and reduction oxidation reaction. But in chemistry I used a simple one known as neutralisation reaction which is a reaction where an acid reacts with a base to give you salt and water. For example, when you bring surphuric acid and you reacts it with sodium hydroxide which is a base you are going to have salt and water. That tells you that the acid is a different body, the base is a different body and they will react. But if you bring an acid and you pour it on top of an acid chemistry there will be no reaction. If you bring water and pour it on top it shows that there will be no reaction. If you bring a base either sodium hydroxide and you pour it on top of a sodium hydroxide you find out that there will be reaction showing that a man on top of a man will have no reaction. A woman on top of a woman will have no reaction, that is what chemistry is showing. Even in chemistry when you also use a process called electrolysis, which is if you use electrolysis of acidilated water, that is water you drop some droplets of acid on it, you found that the negative ions will be attracted to the positive ones while the positive ions will be attracted to the negative ones. So the negative ones are not attracted to their peers, they are all attracted to the positive electrode and the positive ones are not attracted to the positive electrode. Instead, the negative ion is attracted to positive electrodes and why is it that the negative is attracted to the positive? It is because they are not the same. Likewise a man cannot be attracted to a man as negative ion is not attracted to the negative electrode instead negative ion is attracted to the positive electrode. That is what electrolysis is showing us that gay marriage is wrong in the area of chemistry.
