It just goes to show you that ALL sin has consequences. Just as we're still dealing with Adam's sin and Abraham's sin, so too are we dealing with Darwin's sin.

because EVE is responsible for bringing sin into the world (and not Adam) it is through women that the stain of original sin travels through every human being alive today, or has ever been alive or who will ever be alive. Men do not transmit original sin, but receive original sin by being borne of women.

For this reason, women are not allowed to teach men, or lead men, or have any authority over men in any way, shape or fashion -- because Satan knows what the weakest link to tempting man is through a woman.

How to Identify a Male Chauvinist

First off, we need to define what is male chauvinism, because there is a lot of confusion out there. Male chauvinism is the belief, whether conscious or not, that women, womanhood, femininity, and therefore, beauty, are inferior to, men, masculinity, manhood, and strength. So you see, it’s a little bit broad of a definition, so let’s break things down some, shall we? Below are several examples of what Male Chauvinism looks like in todays society/church.

Anyone who believes that it is acceptable for a woman to be in the police force and military, is someone who is a misogynist, and frequently, but not always, a male chauvinist. This is pretty crystal clear, but what else do these people think and believe?

Well, unfortunately, many people think that chivalry is chauvinism, but on the contrary, its the loving notion that women deserve respect and special treatment. So the people who are attacking chivalry are guilty of male chauvinism. Male chauvinism is having a low view of a woman’s God-given role, little value for their God-given gifts, and no appreciation for womanhood’s uniqueness. Too many men and women have no appreciation or value of beauty; only valuing strength and leadership, at the expense of womanhood. God did not make Eve suited for leading, but Adam. The Creator did not make Eve to represent the strength of God, but His beauty. Why do we as men not cherish beauty in our daughters; appreciate their lack of leadership, just as God intended it? Why do we want them to be ‘just as strong and as much of a leader as a boy’? Why are we listening to the chauvinism and so called ‘wisdom’ of this world?

Chauvinism is treating your wife or daughter like she is just as tough and brave as a man, even though the Great Creator did not make them that way. Treating them like steel pots instead of fine china. Countless women are male chauvinists too, but for some reason, many people think that only a man can be one. Some women, in fact, hate women and womanhood so much, that they don’t even want to be women, but would rather be men. This is the perverted product of this wretched sin. What are you teaching your children? Are you teaching both your boys and girls to be tough, strong, brave leaders? You’re probably a male chauvinist who bought into the cool-aid the world is offering.

Chauvinism is not treating women as special and different, not cherishing them, nor their beauty, but instead cherishing masculine traits in a woman. Is any of this making sense? It is hateful, or misogynistic, to try to make a fish fly, or pig swim. We can only do that which we were created to do. But people hate women, womanhood, and femininity, and so want women to do what God did not create them to do. Encouraging a woman to be the leader in a relationship, to take on the burdens that she should not have to carry, is incredibly unloving and unbiblical.

Male chauvinism is the attitude that taking care of the house and children is ‘not important’ or a ‘waste’; the sinful idea that bringing home a paycheck is somehow so much more lofty and noble and worthy of a task. God gave both tasks; providing and protecting is the task He gave to men. Raising the kids and tending the home is the task that the good Lord gave the women, but many men and women look down on these jobs as inferior for a woman. This is the very height of male chauvinism.

In order to identify male chauvinists, we are going to have to understand how they think, what they believe. Sometimes they are disguised as godly people, sometimes they are godly people who are sinful and imperfect like you and I. Sometimes they will hide under the banner of ‘equality’, but in truth, they want no such thing. They never do. The more we understand the different flavors of male chauvinism, the more we can identify them. But as long as we are calling good ‘bad’, and bad ‘good’, then we will always have troubles spotting the spiritual disease of arrogance and pride.

This is absolutely sick. Being homosexual is not a sin.

Only actions can be sins.

If I did a genetic test and my baby was homosexual I'd tell him about it from the beginning and tell him that he's going to face unclean urges and that he must not act on them and must be celibate. I'd try to get him into the priesthood to make it more likely that he'd choose a celibate life.

Lady Checkmate:
hmmm...on one hand I agree with free speech, but on the other hand trolls don't deserve anything; especially, when they use multiple sock accounts (to pretend to be multiple people) to target and harass others with the sole purpose of trying to hurt them in some way (loss of business, capital, customers/clients or support). He has a right to sue every troll (utilizing sock accounts) he can and he should AND hopefully he'll win.

Baldric:
If you have a problem with the Doctor they have medical boards to file complaints with.

Lady Checkmate:
Exactly! Anything else is just plain old trolling...probably done by one clown utilizing multiple sock accounts, I.e, a pathetic loser.

Quote# 100346

I think it’s time to bring back blasphemy laws.

And here is why… (See video)


“… the thing that’s really disturbing about Noah isn’t that it is silly, it’s that it’s immoral. It’s about a psychotic mass murderer who gets away with it, and his name is God… What kind of tyrant punishes everyone just to get back at the few he’s mad at? I mean, besides Chris Christie.” — Bill Maher

And then he added this little ditty:

“Hey, God, you know, you’re kind of a dick when you’re in a movie with Russell Crowe and you’re the one with anger issues.” — Bill Maher.

Bill Maher is known for being an offensive anti-Christian bigot. It’s his trademark. But this time he’s gone too far. He may have protection under the First Amendment to say whatever slanderous thing that comes out of his toilet bowl brain, but that does not mean Christians should turn the other cheek.

Psalms 14:1 says, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” And that gets to the nub of the issue.

The problem with people like Maher — and rabble like Richard Dawkins and the late burning-in-hell Christopher Hitchens — is their lack of moral character. They are what Psalm 14 says, corrupt. That is to say they are morally bankrupt men who refuse to be honest with the evidence all around them.

They start “philosophizing about life” from one fundamental place: hatred of God. The very idea of a Creator who controls all things by virtue of His power and authority makes them recoil. In fact, they hate him so much they would rather go to hell then admit he is God.

That’s what they have in common with the Devil. He hates God too. He’s so blinded by this hatred he’s convinced himself — and a legion of other fools — that there is no God and, if there is one, He is evil because everything he does is twisted and egotistical. That is basically what Maher was saying when he accused God of being immoral by punishing the people of the world with the flood.

I realize that many evangelicals will vilify me for publicly denouncing a guy like Maher. They’ll accuse me of haughtiness, arrogance, and having an “unloving spirit.” But I’m none of these things.

I don’t know Maher. And I have no reason to hate him. But I do know God. And Maher’s public vilification of God is the most offensive and slanderous thing I have ever heard. Frankly, if a Christian doesn’t have a gut wrenching reaction about this, I’ve really got to question him.

Which brings me to the main point: Christians should unanimously condemn Maher. There was a time when a generation of believers actually believed in defending the honor of God and would have done just that — condemn Maher.

Back then Maher would have faced stiff penalties for his slanderous crimes against God and country. And the reasons were clear: slander the ultimate authority of a nation — God — and you ridicule the very foundation of its laws, values, public institutions and leadership.

Slander one and you slander all.

This is one reason why it is unacceptable to threaten the life of the President of the United States, or even to slander the President.

Which raises a question: If it is acceptable to slander and profane the name of God then why not publicly vilify and slander President Barack Obama? I, for one, don’t believe in his presidency, like Maher doesn’t believe in God. And, I also think Obama is immoral, perhaps even a lunatic???

Here is an example of how America once dealt with the likes of Bill Maher.

“Be it declared and enacted by the Lieutenant Governor, Council and Representatives, convened in General Assembly, and it is enacted by the Authority of the same, that if any person shall presume willfully to blaspheme the holy Name of God, Father, Son, or Holy Ghost; either by denying, cursing or reproaching the true God; his Creation or Government of the World: or by denying, cursing, or reproaching the holy Word of God… everyone so offending shall be punished by imprisonment, not exceeding six months, and until they find sureties for good behaviours; by sitting in pillory; by whipping; boaring thorow the tongue, with a red hot iron; or sitting upon the gallows with a rope about their neck; at the discretion of the court…” — Massachusetts General Laws.

Lamentably, in 1952 the US Supreme Court decided, “It is not the business of government in our nation to suppress real or imagined attacks upon a particular religious doctrine, whether they appear in publications, speeches or motion pictures.” And ever since then atheist have freely and very publicly ridiculed God, challenged every public demonstration of Christian religion, belittled Christians and attacked every institution bequeathed to us by our Christian forebears.

But I gotta say, Maher’s comments are the most shocking and heinous public utterances of blasphemy on U.S. airwaves. And worse still, Christians — and especially Christian leaders — have said very little.

America is hanging on by a thin thread of longsuffering divine justice. The pugnacious degenerate Bill Maher may think blasphemy is a laughing matter. The nation of America may think it can hide behind the First Amendment. And Christians may falsely think they are demonstrating Christlike love by remaining quiet in the face of profligate profanity.

But mark my word, a day of reckoning is coming. God is very clear. Exodus 20:7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.”

If we are unwilling to hold blasphemers accountable, the almighty judge of the world will.

I’m Tristan Emmanuel and I make no apologies.

[This post centres upon sea water concentration ... enjoy]

You have not explained what happened to the salt. What makes you think there was a change in concentration of salinity?
The biblical Flood simple moves existing water from 2/3rds coverage of the earth to 100%
No more or less overall quantity of salt. And where in the bible does it say the salinity of water was completely uniform around the earth and fixed for the duration of the Flood?

Thousands of Iranians took to the streets yesterday, protesting a wave of acid attacks against women across the country in recent weeks.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the parliament building in Tehran, and thousands more in Isfahan City, where at least six women are believed to have suffered acid attacks in the last few weeks.

As many as 25 women have been targeted around the country. On Sunday it was reported that one of the victims had died of her injuries.

At least two acid attack survivors attended the Isfahan protest, as well as several prominent Iranian human rights activists.

One female protester who had herself been disfigured in an acid attack carried a sign that read "where is my face". Another bore the slogan "a secure street is my right”. Others targeted religious zealots and extremists, while chants of “Death to the Daesh [Islamic State] school of thought!” were heard, according to local media.


Hadi Ghaemi, the executive director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, a New York based NGO, believes that the women were targeted for violating Islamic dress codes, and linked the surge in attacks to recent rhetoric from conservative leaders.

“This comes in the midst of a year-long verbal attack by conservative forces in Iran attacking women for their clothes,” Ghaemi told Newsweek. “There have been verbal warnings and calls that blood must be shed. These are not isolated incidents”, he added.

Iranian women are required by law to cover themselves in public with an enveloping head-to-toe veil. However many of them, especially younger women living in the larger cities, defy government regulations and societal convention by showing their hair or wearing supposedly “immodest” clothing.

It is common for Iranian police to caution women seen in public places sporting so-called “bad hijab”, a term which encompasses any veil offering less coverage than the traditional head-to-toe covering, the chador. The conservative lawmakers who dominate Iran’s parliament recently proposed a law which would allow vigilante patrols to carry out similar policing according to the Islamic principle of “enjoining good and forbidding wrong”.

Although the protesters in Isfahan obtained the necessary government permit, police used tear gas to break up the demonstration. Following the protest, several activists were detained and taken into custody.

Some human rights activists blame the empowering of conservative vigilante groups for the spike in acid attacks, either directly or indirectly.

According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran, up to 25 women across the country have been targeted in a recent wave of attacks. They recounted one of the incidents in Isfahan in a statement posted to their website earlier this week:

“[A] young woman was walking with two others when they [became the] target of an acid attack. The young woman died due to injuries received on her chest but the two others who received injuries in their faces and hands were transferred to hospital”, the report said.

The victims of this “heinous crime”, it added, “have suffered major injuries and are in danger of losing their eyesight.” Local media outlets reported that the attacks were carried out by men on motorbikes who were unknown to the victims.

In a separate incident in the same city, 26-year-old Soheila Jorkesh was driving a car when a motorbike drove past and one of the riders tipped acid through the open window. As well as suffering horrific burns, she has lost the sight from one eye while doctors are battling to save the other.

Hadi Ghaemi is clear that the surge in attacks is no coincidence, saying that the incidents represent a break from usual trends associated with a practice largely aligned with personal grudges and family honour.

Acid attacks, he said, are usually committed by “jealous boyfriends, husbands and family members, but there is no way that so many attacks in such a short space of time can be explained by personal revenge, it makes no rational sense.”

One of the groups which advertised the protests on its Facebook page referred to the perpetrators as “Iranian regime agents”, while several protesters chanted "we know who's throwing acid at our women - it's government agents".

Although “three or four” suspects have reportedly been arrested in connection with the Esfahan attacks, Iranian authorities have refused to comment on any potential motivations for the crime.

The Charlie Gard case is unbelievably tragic, but it’s reflective of what happens when the natural family is pushed aside and government social engineers are given control. When that happens, children are trapped in unsafe, failing schools with no parental choices; kids as young as pre-school are indoctrinated into a radical LGBT agenda with no parental opt out; young girls can obtain an abortion with no notification to a parent; the understanding of marriage as a life-long, exclusive, conjugal union of man and woman is abandoned and children are told they do not need the love of a mother and father; kids are fed lies that they can change their gender according to their desires, and that it’s perfectly normal to have three or more moms and no dad; and the elderly ill are subtly encouraged to kill themselves rather than be a ‘burden’ on society.

but all this information about isotopes lasting for half a billion years cant really be 100% accurate, when was it we figured all this lasted that long? 100 years ago or less? we have not experienced enough to be able to prove everything about science either, the only thing that is proven about science is what that person really wants to believe just like we Christians. we have what we believe and are always conflicting on the subjects of creationism vs. evolution

in the end when we die, we will see who is right and wrong, if you dont believe, we are upset for you, if you do, well, we believe we will see you in the afterlife

faith does not cause wars and such, its greed and power that is exploited through religions that do

any Muslim as any Christian will tell you, their beliefs are based on loving one another and following certain rules that help keep us tied in with our chosen faith, its when people choose to enforce their belief on others is when we have problems

We are to be faithful like little children. Think back to a family vacation, when you were small. You hounded your parents, "Are we leaving now? Are we leaving today? Are we leaving tomorrow?" And even if they told you, you were too excited to really listen. After all, they packed for you, got the car ready, turned off the lights in the house, unplugged the toaster, picked up your special blanky and your bunny, said, "NOW!" All you had to do was bounce excitedly out the door.

How will we be any different from small children? WE WON'T! There's nothing we need to do to prepare for the Rapture. We don't even need our favorite bunny. We don't need to pack. When it is time God will say, "NOW!" and we'll excitedly bounce up to Heaven to start the next adventure.

The basis of Evolution is that it must exist in a static, infinite universe. However, the universe is actually decellerating, or slowing down, as if it has bounced off of a wall. this means that the universe is non-static, and therefore disproves evolution.

Oh, I almost forgot; they know Mr. Colt, Mr. Marlin, Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson, as well as Mr. Remington and Mr. Winchester and others; so you see - maybe the Monument should be left alone to serve its Honored purpose.

[Why, in Leviticus the original 'law's was slavery not abolished?]

Because Slavery is not a sin. Slavery sets a paradigm for the believer. One must become a slave to God. To be a proper slave one must understand the concept of slavery. Therefore we must have a biblical example/understanding of what a slave is.

I am getting this very, very strong sense that we have to prepare for a serious battle of ideas.

Exercise. Eat right. Strengthen your significant relationships and family. Prepare your mind. Stay in the word.

I can't explain the gut feel I've got on this, but it's coming across as very important.

It was eerie today the way it seemed like just another day with nice weather and work. But something is telling me that there's much more at stake after yesterday's election.

A part of this sense came when I heard who Obama is getting as his Chief of Staff. The guy is hard ball, no nonsense. In other words, he's preparing for battle. We must also.
