Bible
= HATE CRIME in Canada
Christian greetings everyone in these last days of life on Earth. On September 18, 2003 a prophetic event occurred that is about to reek havoc across Christendom. In Canada, a Bill has passed that allows the evil lifestyle of Homosexuality a protected position in today’s society. This new law will allow the homosexual that feels threatened by the Bible toting Christian, a legal avenue that will make some Christians think twice about sharing Jesus with them. They can now be arrested for using a Bible! If convicted, the Christian that is doing as God calls all of us to do, can be thrown behind bars for up to five years!
Jesus so accurately stated in Luke 21:12, "…they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake."

Canada's
House of Commons passed a
controversial bill yesterday
opposed by religious believers
and free-speech
advocates who say it
will criminalize public
expression against
homosexual
behavior.
The bill, passed 141-110, adds
sexual orientation as a
protected category in
Canada's genocide and hate-crimes
legislation,
which carries a penalty
of up to five years in
prison.
"It's been a good week for equality in Canada," said the bill's sponsor, Svend Robinson, an openly homosexual member of Parliament. The vote came just a day after MPs narrowly defeated a nonbinding motion reaffirming marriage is between a man and woman only.
As WorldNetDaily reported, opponents fear if Robinson's bill becomes law, the Bible will be deemed "hate literature" under the criminal code in certain instances, as evidenced by the case of a Saskatchewan man fined by a provincial human-rights tribunal for taking out a newspaper ad with Scripture references to verses about homosexuality.
"I was not surprised it passed, because we have a morally bankrupt government which cannot see past its bizarre liberal ideology," Brian Rushfeldt, executive director of the Canada Family Action Coalition, told WorldNetDaily. The bill now goes to the Senate, which usually rubber stamps the House's legislation. Rushfeldt said he hopes the Senate will at least debate the issue and bring up "inherent dangers" in the bill not discussed in the House, but thinks that is not likely.
The legislation then is signed into law by the governor general, who represents the queen.
Robinson insisted an amendment protects religious expression, but opponents note recent court cases in which judges have favored homosexual rights when they clash with the rights of religious believers. Some members of Parliament called it a "dangerous" law that muzzles free speech, including Liberal Party member John McKay, who dubbed it a "chill bill." "Anybody who has views on homosexuality that differ from Svend Robinson's will be exposed rather dramatically to the joys of the Criminal Code," he said, according to the Edmonton Sun. Rushfeldt contends one of the law's dangers is the term "sexual orientation" is not defined. He noted the American Psychiatric Association lists 24 behaviors under "sexual orientation." They include polygamy, bestiality and pedophilia.
"So
if in fact the term does
include pedophilia,
the law protects it [from
'hate
speech']," he said.
Robinson said
fears that freedom of speech
and religion will suffer are
"a mask for
homophobia for people who
don't want to be honest about
the real reason why they
don't want to include sexual
orientation in the law,"
according to the
Toronto Globe and Mail. He
said he regularly receives
hateful e-mails, the
Toronto paper said, and his
Burnaby, B.C., office was
trashed in 1988 when he
became Canada's first openly
homosexual member of
Parliament.
What
truly
amazes me about this whole
scenario is that it allows us to
see how blind
some people can actually become.
As many of you know, for years I
have been evangelizing Catholics
and Protestants alike.
For years they have stated that
I HATE THEM because I use a
Bible to warn them
of their sin. We now see that
this defense tactic is
escalating to a higher more
threatening level. Think about
that! You love someone enough to
tell them the
TRUTH, and they instead see your
words as hatred! Now THAT is
strange! Still,
it is something I have come to
know quite well through
experience. In fact, no
matter what situation
you’re in, whether you are
trying to tell a loved one
they are in danger because of
their sin, or you are trying to
tell a person
standing as a
“Pastor” he is in
sin, the demons that control
their flesh always
uses the same old comeback. YOU
HATE ME! or, YOU’RE
JUDGING ME!
I gotta tell ya, no matter how many years I have been doing this, it’s still a strange reaction to see such blind comebacks! What they are truly saying all along is the Bible is HATE LITERATURE! I can’t complain of course because it’s not like we weren’t warned about this. Galatians 4:16 bluntly describes such reactions, "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"
Now I know some of you may think I’m going a bit overboard if I blame the Roman Church AGAIN for something. But before you chuck me off as some brain seeping, tinfoil wearing, alien worshiper that has set up a home base on the moon, see this article…
Hate Crimes
Charges Sought Against
Homosexual
Protestors
By Steve Brown
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
June 04, 2003
(CNSNews.com) - The Catholic
Action League of
Massachusetts is seeking
state and federal hate
crimes charges against
homosexual protestors who
"disturbed" Sunday's Mass
at Boston's Cathedral of
the Holy Cross.
"This was a bigoted
expression of contempt for
Catholics," C.J.
Doyle, executive director of
the league, told CNSNews.com.
Doyle referred to the protest
as "a premeditated
assault on the
First Amendment religious
freedom rights of
Catholics" and "a
very crude intimidation tactic
intended to silence Catholic
opposition to
same-sex marriage.
"But it was also a
crime," Doyle
said.
The protest, staged by 11
members of QueerToday.com - a
self-described
Boston-based online community
of lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and
questioning youth and allies
nationwide - was triggered by
four
Massachusetts bishops
who called on priests Sunday
to remind their
parishioners of the Church's
stance against same-sex
marriages.
"If you're going to have hate
crimes for one section of
the
population, you've got to
have hate crimes for all
segments of the population,"
Carr
said. "Sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander."
Now
I
know it’s similar but in a
strange way a complete 180 of
what’s actually happening
in
Canada. In Canada, it’s
gays having laws that prevent
people from preaching and or
protesting them. And here in
Massachusetts it’s a
Catholic church seeking the same
laws
to stop gays from preaching and
or protesting them. Either way,
they’re both seeking the
same end result. Can you see the
cunning methods of Satan’s
involvement here?
In Canada, the Vatican
doesn’t care if gays and
lesbians are in the forefront
because it’s not like
Canada is considered a
“player” in the
world arena as far
as a “world power”
goes. The Vatican's global
desires won't be threatened at
all if their gay desires are
paraded before the people here.
So go for the law as it is, as
blunt as it is. But
here in the states where they
have a more global voice, and
are ridiculed and watch more
closely, they
need to gild the lily a bit and
“act” as if they are
against it. The Vatican needs to
put on the
persona of being the
“moral” leader in
the states because we are touted
as a mostly "Christian" nation.
Either way the same law will be
passed!
And free speech will be a thing
of the past, ESPECIALLY when it
comes to
morality!
Anyone of us that have been moved by the Lord to try and help someone we care for have experienced these types of attacks before. I see attacks like this often. In fact, I'm going through something like this right now because I tried to help a man see he needs to stop sinning, step down as pastor and repent. No matter, it's not like my Heavenly Father can be caught off guard. They can only do that which the Lord allows, and for that I am praising my Father daily.
When Satan has a true hold on someone so deep in sin that they have become swine in the eyes of God, the words of Truth you are trying to share most definitely become a THREAT to them. They truly have a genuine hatred of the Truth because it proves them guilty beyond excuse. And as is always the case, they will do as Jesus said the swine will do. They will trample all over the Word of God you want to share and attack you! This Bill in Canada is just such an attack, however being played out on a much larger scale!
Keep
your
eyes on the world arena on this
matter now. It’s common
knowledge that all
the countries of this world
watch each other ever since the
“global agenda” was
bluntly made public by the
Jesuit trained President,
William Jefferson Clinton
at the first WTO meet in New
York some years back. The world
is watching the
masses in each country to see
how they react to the bevy of
unjust laws being
passed. If it gets “outta
hand,” and the
trailblazing Government has to
retract
their new laws, all the rest
that are watching will know
better than to attempt
their method of madness on their
own soil. We saw this in the
recent “smoking
ban” that was retracted
within 6 months after MANY bar
owners responded in a negative
way. (Not sure what state it was
in. Sorry)
This
method
of “trying the
waters” has always been a
favored method of chipping away
at the people’s patience.
When the first suggestion of the
governing officials
goes over like a lead balloon,
they try a different approach
hoping for the
same result. Or they will do as
did Hitler did to get their laws
accepted by
the population. They
“stage” a national
emergency so as to get the
people to
WANT their laws put in place. I
am not making any
“claims” regarding
the US
Government’s role in 911.
Why should I? There are already
thousands of web
sites doing that quite nicely
already. Still, do you recall
how the US Government
wanted to place armed guards in
our airports and on airplanes
BEFORE 911? The
people of this nation rebelled
and bluntly stated NO WAY! Then
directly after
911 we saw the people shouting
WE WANT ARMED GUARDS! If they
truly want a law
passed, they truly know how to
get the “sheeple” to
let them.
Not
so
strangely enough, you can also
see this in Roman Catholic
doctrinal changes. Do some
research on their dogmatic
inventions over the years. See
how they placed
strange doctrines before the
masses. Watch how Rome first
“suggests” a
doctrine
to the people. If and when it is
accepted by the people, it
becomes binding
doctrine some years later. If it
never becomes accepted, or the
people actually
rebel, the church removes the
doctrine to try a different
approach.
What we see happening in Canada was bound to happen sooner or later. Prophecy must be fulfilled. It’s a no brainer to predict it’s arrival. Especially after Canada proved their demonic desires by allowing gay marriages not too long ago. And when the US Government saw how the people “lazed out” and didn’t react to their insane agenda as they should, we saw Texas and California pass laws that allowed for hundreds of pedophiles to be released from jail. And many of them were in fact Roman Catholic priests! Soon all the other states are going to adopt similar laws and thousands of child molesters will be freed to live next door to the people, and “preach” to them from Catholic pulpits. And as the laws suggest, “pedophilia” will also be placed under the protected wings of the government! The “man boy love” association (NAMBLA) is no doubt scrambling to the plate on this one folks! Mark my words! You will soon see all sorts of strange laws being lobbied before government officials that have benefits for those that seek such decadence as this. What Rome is doing by proxy in Canada is going to snowball to such an extent that MANY will come to realize just what Rome is all about! Their strange confidence seems to falsely assume that ALL people are evil and there are no more people with eyes that see what they’re doing.
Fact
is,
the vile stench of Vatican
involvement is all over this
Canadian hate bill.
In last
month’s Truth Provided
Newsletter I believe I
made it quite plain the
Vat of sin in Rome has a MAJOR
problem regarding the pedophile
lawsuits piling
up all over the world. Gay laws
need to be passed if Rome is
going to get out
from under this mess. They need
to get the people of this world
to look upon
the homosexual lifestyle as
“not that bad,” so
their lawsuits will either lower
in dollar amount, or drop
altogether. No one but Rome
could move the political
arena like this. To be able to
“speak & cause”
such decadent laws to be lobbied
and
passed is something of prophetic
importance. The Vatican is
indeed “universal”
in today’s world! They can
easily move any
political agenda to their end by
just a few pen strokes, threats,
and murders.
And like I said so many times
before. If they can’t
shmooze the population into
their way of thinking, they WILL
force them! This
Canadian law is
proof of that fact!
It’s
obvious
now that “some”
people must have shared their
disgust with certain gay
laws passed in Canada recently.
Therefore it was necessary that
this “new” law
was tabled, voted on, and
passed. That way they can stop
the complaints! So
now, if you use Bible Scripture
to try and prove to a Gay man or
woman they are
headed straight to hell. You
will be liable for a prison term
of up to five
years! THAT is FORCING
people to stop preaching! I ask
you, will
that quench the message in some
preachers? Count on it!
Especially when it’s
common knowledge concerning the
huge “gay”
population you see in jails
now-a-days. These weak preachers
will fear they will be tortured
in these jails
if they end up in their for
speaking out against gays. Force
and fear has
always been Rome’s method
of evangelizing. They did it in
the Inquisition, and
they plan to do it again! And
think on this. When they get you
to “fear” them,
they successfully thwart your
own faith! For it is written the
Lord has NOT
given us a spirit of fear!
I
wonder, how any Roman Catholics
are now starting to see the
light of day on
this. If not, I suggest they do
some historic research to see if
what’s
happening today has happened
before. They need to see how all
these laws being
passed, and the Office of
Inquisition being re-instated in
February of 1991 by
Pope John Paul II, is an exact
duplicate to the time just prior
to the Spanish
Inquisition of Rome. Rome knows
they will be in a place of
absolute power soon.
In fact they are now
entertaining the idea that they
will soon be a full member
of the United Nations. The
Vatican is already the
controlling power of the United
Religions Initiative since June
26, 2000. So it’s only
feasible they stand as a
full member in the U.N. as well.
Couple that fact with these
anti-Bible laws
being passed, the Inquisitional
office being re-opened, and the
fact that Rome
hates Bible thumpers, and you
have what students of prophecy
realize to be a
real time of trouble for the
Remnant.
Vatican Is Open to
Becoming a Full Member of
U.N.
No Impediments, Says Cardinal
Sodano
ROME, SEPT. 21, 2003 (Zenit.org).-
The Holy
See would be prepared
to become a full member of
the United Nations,
says the Vatican's secretary
of state.
"According to international
law, in theory, there are no
impediments for
the Holy See to become
eventually a full member of
the United Nations
organizations," Cardinal
Angelo Sodano said in an
address Friday.
…Currently, the Holy
See is a permanent observer of
the United Nations, which
allows it to address meetings
called by that organization.
But it has no voting
power. Since 1978, the Holy
See has established diplomatic
relations with 82
countries, increasing
the total number to 174.
…In carrying out the
Church's "diplomatic"
activity, its
representatives pursue two
objectives: the safeguarding
and promotion of the legitimate
good
of the Church, and
service to all peoples,
regardless of their
religious faith, he said.
…
Cardinal Sodano explained
the role of the Holy See on
the international
scene…
"Because
of its
religious nature,
the Holy See always stresses
the primacy of
peace," he said. "Because of
its universal nature,
it
follows with concern all the
critical situations in the
world. And, finally,
because of its humanitarian
nature, it insists
that all proper
measures be taken in favor of
civil populations." ZE03092104
Soon
the
Vatican will have its global
power finalized in all aspects.
The wound will
be totally healed! And it will
get back to the work of killing
Christians on a
global scale for preaching the
Truth Jesus has called us to
proclaim. Will
ALL of the Christians clam up?
NO! They
cannot contain that which burns
from the heart. The Truth MUST
be proclaimed
because the Lord has given us
His courage to proclaim it!
By
the
way… Did you notice in
this article that Satan actually
proclaimed his UN-HOLY
Trinity before
all?
Roman Catholic Cardinal Sodano
spoke of THREE areas of the
Vatican’s
“power” in
this article…
1. It’s “religious” nature.
2.
It’s
“universal”
nature. (BTW…
“Catholic”
= Universal in English)
3.
It’s
“humanitarian”
nature.
Can
you
SEE what’s up here?
Remember.. Satan wants to be
worshipped as a god. (See
Isaiah 14) Is he seeking to
mimic the Godhead here with a
Roman Catholic
Trinitarian spin?
1.
The
“religious” nature
= God
2.
The
“universal” nature
= The Holy Spirit
3.
The
“human” nature =
Jesus Christ
That
is
BLASPHEMY in its lowest form! In
essence the Vatican is
saying…
1.
The
“religious” nature
= the church of Rome acting in
the Father's place. (They
claim
the post of “moral
leader” today)
2.
The
“universal” nature
= it’s ability to be in
every
nation on earth. (Common
knowledge now)
3.
The
“human” nature =
the Pope “is Jesus
Christ
himself in the flesh” (One of many
actual quote’s
of the Pope calling himself
“God on earth”)
All
we
need to do is use some common
sense here for a moment. The
grand majority of
all Government officials have
already been polled and found to
be Vatican
sympathizers. Rome WILL be a
Global governing power once
again! The “174”
U.N.
countries that voted the
Vatican’s full membership
into the U.N. is proof of
that fact.
Common
sense… we all know
the Vatican is the mainstay of
Homosexuality since day one.
Even AIDS can be backtracked and
found to have occurred in the
Roman Catholic
priesthood first. (Click
here for proof) If
you think the smallest minority
known to man, which is the
gay/lesbian
faction, is capable of getting
so many major laws passed in
recent days
without some powerful help, you
need to get your head out of the
sand. A
minority as small as this group
can not experience such win
falls
as this! It MUST has a powerful
friend in Government to get such
major
laws passed so quickly!
Rome is truly the ONLY one that will benefit by the passing of so many gay laws. Sure, some gay organizations will benefit to some extent so as to pull some of the onus off of Rome. But in no way can they even begin to compare with the global benefits the Vatican will reap once the gay lifestyle is a globally protected entity. And what’s the BIGGEST THREAT to the gay/lesbian agenda? THE WORD OF GOD! THAT is why they hate it, and THAT is why they attack it. They are truly no different than Rome. They hate it for the same reason. It shines a Light of TRUTH on their sinful ways.
"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." -John 3:19
Has the gay/lesbian movement proclaimed to enough people now that they ARE reprobates? Yes, I am sure it has. This new law will no doubt make many feel it’s a waste of time now to try and help them. They WANT their sin, they WANT their AIDS, they WANT their hell, and they want them so badly that they will get laws passed to force us to let them have it! Sadly, some will now say, “let them have it! I give up! It’s not worth going to jail for!”
If
in
fact the numerous child
molestation lawsuits in Roman
Catholicism doesn’t
prove to some they are Bible
haters that seek to pass laws
that will gag Bible
preachers exposing their sin.
See the following documented
quotes of the Vatican
regarding the Bible itself!
Their own mouths proclaim boldly
they HATE JESUS
CHRIST AND HIS WORD!
(Rev.) Dr. Cahill declared that "he would rather the Catholic should read the worst books of immorality than the Protestant Bible-that forgery of God's Word, that slander of Christ." - (Roman Catholic Tablet, December 17, 1853, p. 804).
"Do you allow your flock to read the Bible at all?" said a writer in the Contemporary Review to a friend of his, a parish priest. "No, sir, I do not; you forget that I am a physician, not a poisoner of souls." -Contemporary Review April, 1894, p. 576.
"The doctrines of the
Catholic Church are entirely independent
of
Holy Scripture."
Familiar Explanation of
Catholic Doctrine, Rev. M.
Muller, p.151.
The decree set
forth in the year 1229 A.D. by
the Council of
Valencia... places Bible on
The Index of Forbidden
Books. The doctrine
withholds "it is forbidden
for laymen (common man) to
read the Old and New
Testaments. - We forbid them
most severely to have the
above books in the
popular vernacular." "The
lords of the districts shall
carefully seek
out the heretics in
dwellings, hovels, and
forests, and even their
underground
retreats shall be entirely
wiped out." Council
Tolosanum, Pope
Gregory IX, Anno. Chr. 1229
The church Council of
Tarragona ruled that: "No
one may possess the
books of the Old and New
Testaments in the Romance
language, and if anyone
possesses them he must turn
them over to the local
bishop within eight days
after the promulgation of
this decree, so they may be
burned." D.
Lortsch, Histoire de la
Bible en France, 1910, p.14.
"Socialism, Communism,
clandestine societies, Bible
societies... pests
of this sort must be
destroyed by all means."
The encyclical Quanta
Cura Issued by Pope Pius IX,
December 6, 1866
Why
such hate? Hebrews 4:12
states, "For the
word of God is quick, and
powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul
and spirit, and of the joints
and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart."
The
Bible is TRUTH, and Truth
is an enemy to those that
embrace the lies!
So…
is the USA
“thinking”
about doing as Canada? Will the
Bible be placed on the political
chopping block
soon? Ignoring for the moment
the recent Ten Commandment
situation in Alabama,
and the numerous anti-Christian
laws passed in the USA in the
past few decades.
Ignoring the illegality of
praying in schools, and the laws
enforced against
Christians displaying
“Christian” symbols
on the “so called”
birthday of
Christ. Or the fact that you
can’t pray over a loud
speaker at sporting events
unless it is an ecumenical
prayer all religions can
embrace. Is there an agenda
that seeks to gag the Christian
in America? Is the Roman
Catholic ‘Bible
hating’ agenda showing
signs that they have infiltrated
the land of the free
and the home of the brave?
You
tell me.
Skim
through
this small list of articles I
dug up off the site regarding
the hatred
of Biblical jurisprudence in
America. I have far more than
this online now, but
these should suffice. Make
special notice of the way
“force” is used in
some
instances regarding people that
preach Scriptural Truth. The
smell of Rome is
all over the place on this one.
Take heart though. Jesus IS
coming back, and
those that hate His Truth WILL
be made quite. Also, there is
one more
article at the end of this
Newsletter that literally
reveals why all this is
happening. It has to do with the
WORLD SABBATH legislation.
It’s
a fairly old article from my
“Attacking
Sabbath” page
that definitely bears repeating
today, because it is part of
this whole ball of
wax!
WHO
DECLARED
OPEN SEASON ON PUBLIC
RELIGIOUS SPEECH?
...I find the current hostility
to religious evangelism
profoundly
disturbing. This includes
attacks on the missionary
activities of the
much-maligned
Southern Baptists. According
to The Seattle Times
("Baptists' high
chutzpah," editorial, Sept.
11), which condemned Baptist
efforts to
convert Jews, "The Baptists
should learn to respect the
values and privacy
of others." A group of
religious leaders in Chicago
has gone further,
recently urging Southern
Baptists to cancel
plans to send missionaries
into their city this
coming summer because
seeking to convert others
"could contribute to a
climate conducive to hate
crimes."
Missionary activity a hate
crime? Apparently yes,
according to the new,
politically correct view of
religious liberty being
offered up by guardians of
a completely secular public
arena. According to their
view, people are free to
believe in their own religion,
but they shouldn't try to
persuade anybody else
of its truth, especially if
the other person already has
religious beliefs.
Some of the greatest minds of
Western civilization would
have begged to differ.
Figures such as Dante,
Rembrandt, Bach, Newton, and
Dostoyevsky explicitly
proclaimed their religious
faith in their works. One
could even say they
"proselytized" for their
particular religious views.
Yet,
civilization was enriched, not
destroyed by their advocacy of
religious ideas.
What would those who propose
cleansing religion from our
conversations have us
discuss instead? Pokemon and
Beanie Babies? Banishing
religion from our debates
merely invites the further
trivialization of American
life. -By John G. West

FUNDAMENTALISTS
WRONG ABOUT BIBLE, VATICAN
SAYS
Vatican City

approach of
word-for-word literalism as

and possibly leading to

LITERAL INTERPRETATION OF

VATICAN CITY, Italy - The Vatican
criticized a literal
interpretation of
the Bible and said the
fundamentalist approach to
scripture was a kind of intellectual
suicide. ...It
noted that a fundamentalist
interpretation of the Bible
had been gaining strength. The
Vatican is increasingly
concerned about the
number of Catholics,
especially in Latin America,
who have abandoned the church
for fast-growing
fundamentalist sects. The
fundamentalist approach is dangerous,
for
it is attractive to people
who look to the Bible for
ready answers to the

PHILADELPHIA (JTA) -- Irvin Borowsky now sees some light at the end of the tunnel in his 18-year campaign to modify New Testament language "excessively faulting all Jews for the suffering and execution of Jesus."
...His goals included modifying the King James version of the Bible in favor of "hate-free" texts, making the same inroads with the sources of the children's Bibles, urging hotels to replace millions of Bibles with more acceptable versions and eventually impacting on sermons discussing Jesus' life and death.
...Only the American Bible Society among 20 major publishers has been cooperative until now, but a number of children's Bible publishers have been quicker to make recommended changes, Borowsky reports.
"I see major breakthroughs coming within the next five years," Borowsky says, reminding that the "hateful anti-Judiac passages" he contests have been circulating for nearly 20 centuries.
"History will record that the scholars and the president of the American Bible Society who published the first Bible that contained no anti-Judaism in nearly 2,000 years were the first to record accurately the historical events of the first century," he concluded. (Milton Gralla, a retired journalist, is a member of JTA board of directors.)

Christians no longer may believe that the words that the Jews are the children of the devil are words Jesus actually said or are the revealed word of God."

"I felt humiliated, like a

who is five
months pregnant, said
she was dropped off a mile
from her regular
bus stop. She said she had to
make a 20-minute walk home
in heavy rain,
along the shoulder of the
Bothell-Everett Highway in
evening rush-hour
traffic.
"All I was doing was talking
about Jesus Christ,
which I

LOXLEY, Ala. -- Authorities in Loxley, Ala., are investigating the alleged beating of a preacher by funeral mourners who didn't like his blunt eulogy. Glynis Bethel told The Associated Press that her husband -- the Rev. Orlando Bethel -- was attacked during a June 14 funeral and dragged out of the church. That's because Bethel told mourners the deceased was in Hell and that they were headed the same way. The dead man was Glynis Bethel's uncle. Orlando Bethel referred to him as a "drunkard and a fornicator." Glynis Bethel, who's also a preacher, says "the fornicators didn't like what he said so they got up and beat him." She says police didn't make any arrests, so she and her husband -- who may have a broken nose -- are taking out warrants. -The Associated Press.
Christianity
Harmful to Animals, Says
Animal Rights Godfather

(CNSNews.com) -
Princeton University Professor
Peter Singer, dubbed the
'godfather' of animal rights,
says Christianity is a
"problem"
for the animal rights
movement.
Singer, author of the book
"Animal Liberation" and a
professor of
bioethics at Princeton
University's Center for Human
Values, criticized
American Christianity for its
fundamentalist strain that
takes the Bible
too "literally" and
promotes "speciesism."
He defined speciesism as the
belief that being a member of
a certain species
"makes you superior to any
other being that is not a
member of that
species."

Pastor Fined $1,000 for Rebuking Lewd Woman
Yesterday in Dane County Circuit Court, Judge Paul Higginbotham fined Pastor Ralph Ovadal $1,000 for rebuking a lewd-acting woman on the parking lot of the state-run Mazomanie nude beach and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to her. The Judge also added court costs to the fine. Pastor Ovadal's "victim," Nancy J. Erickson, had asked the court to fine Pastor Ovadal the maximum possible ($1,000), put him in jail for 90 days, and then on probation. The Judge declined the probation, saying it would be too expensive to the State and would no doubt do nothing to change Pastor Ovadal's behavior anyway. Both the D.A. and the Judge stated that they had considered putting Pastor Ovadal in jail, but they are afraid it would make him a "martyr."

City
Council Expands Hate Crime
Law to Include Sexual
Orientation
By
Terry Kinney
Associated Press Writer
CINCINNATI (AP) - The City
Council has passed an expanded
hate-crimes law
that allows additional
penalties for
misdemeanor crimes committed
against a person based on sexual
orientation.
Under the law, a hate-crime charge filed against someone charged with assault, for example, could effectively double the penalty if police believe the crime was based on sexual orientation.
...A
pro-family activist
says a bill that would make opposition
to homosexuality a crime
is facing a November 30
deadline or it
will die in committee.
Diane Gramley is president of
the American Family
Association of Northwestern
Pennsylvania. She says a
so-called "hate crimes"
bill,
which had been making its way
through the PA state house,
has been sent back to
committee. The bill would
invoke further penalties
against anyone accused of
committing so-called hate
crimes against homosexuals.
Gramley says the problem
with that type of legislation
is that it penalizes thought.
She says the text
of the bill, which says "with
malicious intention towards
the actual or
perceived sexual orientation,
gender or gender identity,"
amounts to
"thought police."
Gramley says the agenda
of
pro-homosexual groups is
to silence anyone who has
anything negative to say
about the homosexual
lifestyle. Gramley
says the measure -- which
began
as an agricultural bill -- was
reworded and must reach the
Governor's desk by
November 30. –Agape News
Rome
has
been attacking the Bible for
centuries. And now that she has
gained control
of the Lamb Horned Beast. (USA)
It won’t be
long before the mark
of this beast is enforced.
Even the
non-believer has to realize
something’s up now. For
them to pass laws that say
it is ILLEGAL to use a Bible has
to be opening some eyes as we
speak. Even the hard core
Atheist has to be thinking
something's strange now.
It’s
time to take advantage of this
event!
We
need
to keep this Roman Catholic
Antichristian agenda before the
eyes of those
seeking Truth now more than ever
now. Many of us truly know what
the mark of
the beast is. And we also
know that laws like this
MUST be passed for that mark to
be able to be enforced. So tell
everyone you
know. Mention this at bus stops,
in the line while shopping, in
elevators, all
over the place! Try this
approach… “Did
you hear about them making it
illegal to use a Bible in
Canada? I wonder, do you think
that’s a sign of the
end?” Try this method
for “small talk”
now. It works! I have used
this approach for years to get
complete strangers in
conversations about
prophecy! They will actually ask
YOU a question when you approach
in this
manner! And then it’s your
opportunity to share the Three
Angels Message. And
they will feel obligated to
listen BECAUSE THEY ASKED YOU a
question!
NOTICE: Do NOT!
I
repeat do NOT have
literature in your hand ready
to give them. Have it
in your pocket, or out of
their sight! If they think you
are passing out tracts
they will feel pressured and
annoyed and walk off. After
about 5 minutes or so
you will gain a friend by
compelling conversation and
then you can hand them a
tract as you leave. You may
even go so far as to tell them
you want to keep in
touch, pull out the tract, and
actually place your phone
number on it for them
to call you. (If you feel it's
safe to do so) You would be
surprised how well this works!
On
my
“Attacking
Sabbath” page I have
a LOT of articles
proving this prophetic agenda is
being fulfilled before our very
eyes. I would
like to bring to your attention
one article in particular from
that page itself
that without a doubt is speaking
of something we all know is on
the near
horizon. Also keep in mind how
they conveniently used Roman
Catholic madman,
Adolph Hitler’s tactics
for mass approval by using the
“terrorist” angle to
make their World Sabbath agenda
seem necessary. Scare tactics
work! We know
that now. So expect more of them
in the near future!
The good word spreads about World Sabbath
Day of prayer seen as
a balm for terror
January 22, 2002
BY EMILIA ASKARI
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
Since that horrible day in September when people drove planes into buildings in the name of God, the Rev. Rod Reinhart has been looking for ways that U.S. residents can work to eliminate religious misunderstandings.
His top suggestion this week:
Join others around the globe Saturday in celebrating the third annual World Sabbath for Religious Reconciliation. It's a holiday that Reinhart, who works for the Episcopal Diocese of Detroit, founded in 1999.
Since then, the number of celebrants has grown as word of the World Sabbath spreads. People worldwide have visited www.worldsabbath.com, the Web site that Reinhart has loaded with a template for anyone to hold a World Sabbath service, including a suggested opening prayer and a liturgy.
Reinhart's event is one of two this week with interfaith themes. Mirroring a prayer meeting with world religious leaders planned by Pope John Paul II in Assisi, Italy, on Thursday, Cardinal Adam Maida of the Detroit Archdiocese will host an interreligious service at noon in downtown Detroit.
To mark the World Sabbath locally, about 500 people are expected to gather at 7 p.m. Saturday at Christ Church Cranbrook, 470 Church Road, Bloomfield Hills. Scheduled speakers include local leaders representing Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist communities.
"We'll be praying for the victims of Sept. 11, giving a Christian, Jewish and Muslim response, and focusing on what we're going to do next to move toward healing," Reinhart said Monday.
The service also will feature a group of Sudanese drummers from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Lansing, plus singing by the choirs of Greater New Mt. Moriah Church in Detroit and All Saints Episcopal Church in Pontiac.
The Thursday interfaith service planned by the Archdiocese of Detroit also will include representatives of many denominations. The service is free and open to the public at SS. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church at St. Antoine and East Jefferson.
In a letter to parishes, Maida said "fervent and faithful prayer brought down communism" and prayer will help bring world peace.
The celebration of two interfaith services in metro Detroit in one week doesn't surprise Reinhart. With large and vibrant faith communities, the area is a natural place for religious tolerance to take root, he said.
"We've made a great start," he said. "Wait and see. In a few years, the World Sabbath will be as big as Kwanzaa."
For information on
the World Sabbath, call
Reinhart at
734-459-7319 from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. or go to
www.worldsabbath.com. For
information about the Catholic
service, call 313-237-5943

Soon
the
un-holy trinity in the Vatican
will be a “full
member” of the United
Nations with all the clout and
power that comes from that
position. Also keep
in mind that this is a nation
that is also a CHURCH that
controls ALL the
churches of the World since
being elected the leader of the
one world church
(URI) on June 26, 2000. True,
some churches have not
“officially” joined
as of
yet, but that is short in
coming. And if they won't join,
they will be "taken care of."
Will the mark of the beast come
to be their
main order of business globally?
Do I need to ask that question!?
Fact is, you no longer
need to be a theologian to
figure that one out. WE ARE
LIVING IT!
PROPHECY
CONFIRMS
IT!
Revelation 14:9-11, "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
Due to the prophetic importance of the new Bible hate laws... I believe it is necessary that I put forth a small booklet to send to as many as possible before it becomes "illegal" to do so. The booklet will contain the majority of this Newsletter along with other facts and figures. I would also like to place a somewhat more detailed version of my "quick facts" page in the booklet. Please pray that the Lord blesses this vision with the funds and materials needed to do such a work as this. (Click here to see a rough draft of the booklet) If you can help in any way with this work, please contact me asap! |

Hello
and
God bless. I am asking if you
have any articles on the
ceremonial laws. Right
now I am reading part of
Exodus, all of Leviticus, and
Numbers.
Many
Christians today really don't
have the love and respect they
should have for
Christ for what he has done.
Plenty read about the
sacrifices and know they
represented Christ, but for me
I want to know what each
sacrifice and it's
process represents and why was
done in that fashion or order.
I've read your
article on the sanctuary and
enjoyed what was written. I
was hoping you might
have anything on the
ceremonial laws as well.
Thank
you
for your time and patience
with me in the past. God bless
and take care.

I have
read through much of your
site's pages and I have to
say that nothing has moved me
more in quite some time.
Growing up Catholic, but
even today, not truly
subscribing to any particular
denomination of
Christianity, this was of
great interest to me. My faith
is important to me. I
wish to please the Lord Jesus
Christ and to be prepared for
his Great Return.
(I currently attend a church
of Protestant denomination
with my wife). Your
site, at one time, would have
insulted and offended me. This
was not the case
as I read through the
information and watched the
Flash presentations. I am
however, disturbed because
there is something VERY
believable about this.
Anyway, my thanks to you.
Please continue to make
information such as this
available.
MCC
I am so
thankful that I found your
site. It has helped me in
my personal study and has
helped me to find the answers
that I have needed to
help convince others of true
doctrine. I left the faith and
married a woman who
I always tell everyone is the
best wife in the whole
world(and I am convinced
of that). But, she grew up a
Catholic and this I thought
was my burden. As of
late I have seen it as an
opportunity to minister to the
family. I use your
site often as a teaching aide.
Here is where my problem is .
You know that soon
your site will be taken off
the net in an attempt to make
the Word unavailable
to the masses.I am hoping that
you will soon be making
available more CDs.
Sincerely,
Ralph W
Thank
you for blooming the truth.
Baptist preacher. D L
Hello,
I met you sometime ago in an
audio chat, when I
think I was under the alias
pxxxxxxxxx something similar
to that and I listened to your
testimony concerning the Roman
Catholic Church. I
listened to you state
facts
that I had already come into
the knowledge of
understanding, and other facts
that I didn't know, and
overall your work has been a
blessing to me.
I'm a minister of the Gospel
of Christ, and I represent the
truth, everything
that our Father in Heaven
stands for. And, I'm
writing to you today to
ask for
your permission to put
Charlotte's Testimony on my
websiste, I want to help get
her testimony out so people
all around the world can read
it. When I read
her
testimony it brought me to
tears, I wish that those
things weren't true about
the Catholic Church, but they
are.
Your brother in Christ,
SS
