Shoot them up in Jesus Name Pastor who shot wife at hotel constantly beat and threatened to kill her Danny Prenell Jr., the 25-year-old senior pastor of Bright Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Pineville, Louisiana, who shot his wife and then himself at a hotel in McComb, Mississippi, in the presence of their three children last Wednesday, had a history of violence against his wife prior to the shooting, court records show. Court records cited by KALB say Prenell’s wife, Gabrielle Prenell, 27, who remains hospitalized in stable condition, filed a “petition for protection from abuse” against Prenell in Rapides Parish in 2016, noting that “I’ve been constantly getting beaten by my husband and I fear for the life of myself and my unborn child.” Gabrielle Prenell also alleged in her petition for protection that her husband often pointed guns and threatened to kill her, Gabrielle Prenell was shot in the stomach and her arm by her husband. She remains hospitalized in stable condition. “She’s still hospitalized. He’s out of the hospital and he has been charged with aggravated domestic violence and disturbance of a business at this point. It could be more charges later, but that’s what he is being charged with at this time,” Carter said. “I may not be a perfect man, but I’ll always be a family man,” he said with a picture of his smiling wife and their three young children who are in the custody of CPS. The young pastor who maintains a very active presence on social media said he is frequently told that he is wise beyond his years. https://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-who-shot-wife-at-hotel-constantly-beat-her-report.html?clickType=link-topbar-news Stripper doing her thing in Jesus' Name: Pied piper preachers and the Gospel of no responsibility A recent article (which I will not link here) proclaimed the salacious news that a Christian woman is stripping online (and getting rich in the process) because that is what God what wants her to do.

Happy Clergy ? : Gay reverend devastated after Pride flag set on fire in suspected hate crime Police are investigating after someone burned an LGBT+ Pride flag flying from church led by a gay reverend. Reverend Matthew Woodward, the dean of Trinity Cathedral in Sacramento, California, had decorated his church for Pride month, to “communicate the love of God for all”. But on Saturday morning (5 June), he realised that someone had burned the flag. Shared photos of the charred remains on Instagram, he wrote: “So today I awoke to the news that our Pride flag has been taken down from in front of the Cathedral and burned. “I went out to explore and found the remnants in front of a neighboring building. It saddened me, as we were communicating the love of God for all with our flag.” Wow!

I execute judgment on you, satan, you destroyer, you killer. You get out. I break your power. You get off this nation. I demand judgment on you. I demand. I demand.

Archbishop calls for mass exorcism: 'The Evil One has gone into a frenzy' April 10, 2020 Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano of Rome called on his fellow clergy to perform a mass exorcism on Holy Saturday, the day between Good Friday, Jesus' crucifixion, and Easter Sunday, celebrating his resurrection. "In these modern times of terrible tribulation, when the pandemic has deprived Catholics of Holy Mass and the Sacraments, the Evil One has gone into a frenzy and multiplied his attacks to tempt souls into sin," Viganò wrote. "I should like to ask you all to pray together, using the form given by Leo XIII, the Exorcism against Satan and the apostate angels...on Saturday, April 11, 2020, so we can fight together the common enemy of the whole human race," Viganò said. He concluded: "The great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy, terrible as an army set in array, and Saint Michael the Archangel, Patron of the Holy Church and Prince of the Heavenly Host, will help all of us." Wretched: False Prophet Fiasco A "Prophetess" calls out a Pastor and prophesies to him - one minute calling him a "man of God" the next moment a "devil". Do people have to leave their senses when they follow false teachers ? I think so: Todd Bentley Kicks Guy with Polio In Order to "Heal Him" Another Evangelist which makes a mockery out of the Name of Yeshua, Pitiful, shocking, terrifying. Watch this: Shi’ite Muslims worldwide mark Ashura by slicing their heads open, and those of their children Sep 13, 2019 SHOW OF FAITH Ashura festival sees children left covered in blood as devout Muslims use knives to slice their heads open Every year, thousands of Shia worshippers take part in the ceremonies, performed to mourn the death of Husayn ibn Ali, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. We have seen this in Britain, Atlanta, Toronto, and elsewhere in the West. If someone wants to cut his head and stalk down the street with the blood streaming down, that’s his business, I suppose. It isn’t illegal. But others are likewise free to find it unnerving, disgusting, and possibly a danger to the public health. And it is certainly a sign of an increased assertiveness on the part of Shi’ite Muslims in the West, and a manifestation of a value system that differs radically from that held by most in Western countries. Hum... is he building an Ark? Pastor seeks $100M to build global media platform to navigate End Times August 5, 2019 A nondenominational pastor is asking God for $100 million to build a media platform to help guide the public through the End Times until the second coming of Jesus. In an August 1 episode of his broadcast, called TruNews, Rick Wiles, who pastors Flowing Streams Church in Vero Beach, Florida, said that God had given him a vision of this global media platform. "The vision He’s put in my heart, I need $100 million. It is a global vision to build a platform for the body of Christ to get us through to the End when Christ comes back. It’s going to take an enormous amount of money. I don’t know where it’s going to come from. I don’t know who’s going to finance it. But I know that God has unlimited resources, and He is my source and my faith is in Him," Wiles said. The broadcaster, who is sometimes featured as a guest on The Jim Bakker Show, is known for saying odd things. Earlier this year he explained that the creators of plant-based alternatives to meat are part of a nefarious effort to destroy the planet and are attempting to change human DNA so that human beings will become a "race of soulless creatures" who cannot be born again. BISHOP PLANS TO SPRAY CITY WITH HOLY WATER FROM HELICOPTER: 'WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THE DEVIL' 6/25/19 Catholic Bishop plans to spray holy water from a helicopter to exorcise the demons he says are plaguing his town. Monsignor Rubén Darío Jaramillo Montoya, bishop of Buenaventura, Colombia, is borrowing a navy copter to deluge the city on July 14, the feast day for Buenaventura's patron saint. "We want to go around the whole of Buenaventura from the air and pour holy water onto it... to see if we exorcise all those demons that are destroying our port," Montoya told a local radio station. "So that God's blessing comes and gets rid of all the wickedness that is in our streets." Colombia's busiest port, Buenaventura has been ravaged by paramilitary gangs, who extort, kidnap and terrorize locals. "Los Malos" as the guerrillas are known, meet resistance with horrific violence: Victims are dismembered while still alive. Their body parts often wash up on shore. "In Buenaventura we have to get rid of the devil to see if we can return the tranquility that the city has lost with so many crimes, acts of corruption and so much evil and drug trafficking," Montoya, 52, told the local press. "It will be a great public demonstration for the entire community, where we will pour holy water to see if so many bad things end and the devil goes out of here." https://www.newsweek.com/bishop-holy-water-helicopter-1445828 Philadelphia temple bills itself as region's 'first weed church' March 20, 2019 A temple in Philadelphia is billing itself as the region's first "weed church." The Philadelphia Temple of Hemp and Cannabis serves as a gift shop as well as a sanctuary and lounge for medical marijuana patients. "...the reason we opened is that there was nobody providing a space for marijuana patients to come together and take their medicines socially.” — Patrick Duff, the co-owner and high priest of the Philadelphia Temple of Hemp and Cannabis It's unclear how the facility operates as a church. But it has a large painting of Ras Tafari, also known as Haile Selassie, the former emperor of Ethiopia revered by Rastafarians as the Messiah. It also has a large flag of Ethiopia with the iconic Rastafari lion of Judah. https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/philadelphia-temple-bills-itself-as-regions-first-weed-church Fake resurrection gets Pastor in hot trouble: South African Funeral Directors to Sue False Prophet Over Faked Resurrection Stunt WATCH VIDEO: A group of funeral directors in South Africa say they will sue a self-styled prophet who claims to have resurrected a dead man A viral video of Pastor Alph Lukau shows him shouting “rise up” to a man lying down in a coffin who then jerks upright to cheers from worshippers. The funeral companies say they were manipulated into being involved. The spectacle, seen outside Pastor Lukau’s church near Johannesburg, has been ridiculed and condemned by many. ‘Cussing Pastor’ defends twerking contest held at church, tells critics ‘f*** you’ FEBRUARY 27, 2019 Thaddeus Matthews, a controversial Memphis pastor better known as the “Cussing Pastor” for his profanity-laced messages which have attracted millions of viewers online, is defending his decision to host a sexually provocative twerking contest at his church, telling his critics “f*** you.” “This message is for all you hypoChristians who live hypocritical and f***ed up lives when you have the nerve to judge someone else. I look at many of you who have criticized the young ladies who were dancing in my gymnasium in my church. I look on your pages, you got your a**, your titties out. You got all type of trash in your life but you want to be the one to judge – f*** you,” said Matthews, who leads the Naked Truth Liberation and Empowerment Ministries, in a video message posted on Instagram. “You motherf***ers who are out here judging, there is nothing in the Bible about dancing but it is judging. Again, f*** you.” Literally - "drunk in the Spirit": ‘Brewery church’ is the latest in craft of luring folks to church February 12, 2019 Martin Luther, the famed 16th-century rebel monk and Protestant Reformer, is known to have had a penchant for a palatable pint of beer. He even once exclaimed, “Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!” Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that the first known congregation founded expressly as a “brewery church” is a Lutheran outpost, part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and its Florida-Bahamas Synod. Castle Church Brewing Community describes itself as “Orlando’s newest premier destination brewery” but also makes clear that while beer is its passion, “as a spiritual community, we exist for people first.” Since it opened in October, the community of about 50 has been meeting each Sunday at 11:11 a.m. for worship in the brewery’s beer garden, using apps on their smartphones in lieu of hymnals. Afterward they enjoy some frothy fellowship. https://religionnews.com/2019/02/12/brewery-church-is-the-latest-in-craft-of-luring-folks-to-church/ +This guy visited the Angel Gabriel and rebuked him: If I’m a false prophet, then God and Jesus are fools – Angel Obinim Founder and leader of the International Godsway Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has once again stirred controversy after appearing to blaspheme against Jesus Christ. The self-acclaimed “Angel” has lashed out at those saying he is a fake pastor, insisting God and Jesus must be “fools” if that is indeed the case. Speaking to his congregation in one of his recorded sermons, Obinim boasted of his huge following in the country, adding that no pastor in the country commands the kind of large crowd he has. According to him, most of the things he does are directed by the Holy Spirit and not of his own free will or say. “I always say that if I’m a fake pastor or I use juju to operate, then Jesus is a fool. Then that would mean Jesus is even more foolish than human beings. Because the number of people that come to me here in Ghana – look no prophet has more following than me!” Earlier this year, Obinim came top of the social media trends due to his alleged magical stickers which he claimed have the powers to solve any problem. The ‘Obinim Sticker Challenge’ was thus kickstarted on Twitter, with many Ghanaians making mockery of the whole issue. Last week, the pastor was once again in the news after he claimed that he visited heaven to berate Angel Gabriel for offending him.

Pastor Andy Stanley says Ten Commandments don't apply to Christians JANUARY 08, 2019 Christians should quit erecting Ten Commandments displays and should instead consider making monuments dedicated to the Sermon on the Mount, popular pastor Andy Stanley said. In a column published by Relevant Magazine, the North Point Community Church pastor argued that the Ten Commandments are “the old covenant” and no longer apply to believers. "If we’re going to create a monument to stand as a testament to our faith, shouldn’t it at least be a monument of something that actually applies to us?" he posed.

But not to church December 21, 2018 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced yesterday that women missionaries can wear pants for most of their service. They can teach in pants, ride their bicycles in pants (thank you, Jesus), and proselyte on street corners in pants, reversing decades of Mormon tradition. But they can’t attend church or the temple in pants. This is interesting, and reflects a bifurcation I have observed in Mormon culture in the United States. Mormons today have grown fairly comfortable with the idea of women working. It has been many years since working mothers were last denounced from the pulpit; statistically, a majority of Mormon women work outside the home, at least part-time; and in 2017, female employees of Church headquarters in Salt Lake City were granted permission to wear pants to work. Are you kidding me? Progressive Christianity Welcomes the Atheist Pastor December 20, 2018 Certain beliefs ought to disqualify a person for certain jobs. For example, a vegetarian probably shouldn't be the lead chef at a steakhouse. A pacifist wouldn't make a good general. And an atheist shouldn't be a pastor. At least, that's what you would think. A liberal denomination in the true north is giving that last bizarre scenario a go. The leadership of the United Church of Canada has settled a years-long controversy by voting to allow Reverend Gretta Vosper, a self-proclaimed atheist, to keep her post as lead minister at West Hill United Church in Toronto. In her sermons and in her book "With or Without God," Vosper has made it clear she doesn't see the Bible as the authoritative word of God. She views "God" as not a personal Being, but as a metaphor of love, compassion, and beauty. Each Sunday, members of West Hill United Church replace prayer with "community sharing time," and then sing hymns that have been rewritten to accommodate secular sensibilities. Here we go again: January 22: Bible expert addresses Super Blood Moon DOOM prophecy December 4, 2018 THE end of the world could be just over a month away if biblical conspiracy theorists are correct about the Blood Moon prophecy. A doomsday preacher has now warned there is nothing to say the world will not end on January 22. The Blood Moon prophecy claims the world’s fiery demise will be preceded by a menacing omen in the skies. Doom-mongers and online conspiracists believe the upcoming January 21 Super Blood Moon is such an omen. On the night of the Blood Moon, the glowing disc of the lunar orb will take on a deep red, almost blood-like, hue. Pastor Paul Begley, an evangelical preacher from Indiana, US, is one of the many doomsday prophets who believe the Blood Moon is a warning of the apocalypse. And though pastor Begley refrained this week from confirming the world will indeed perish in hellfire on January 22, he suggested this is a possible outcome of the Blood Moon. Speaking to an online audience during one of his impassioned sermons, the firebrand preacher warned a cataclysm is headed towards the Earth. He said: “Obviously these apocalyptic signs in the heavens are pointing to a catastrophic event on the horizon. We don’t know when. Just because you’re ogling to have a Super Blood Moon on January 20 and January 21 doesn’t mean on January 22 all hell’s going to break loose. And then again it doesn’t mean it won’t, ok? So there are these signs that are starting to be revealed.” Lesbian Clergy proclaims Jesus "a Bigot" Lesbian UMC bishop facing complaint for saying Jesus held ‘bigotries,’ is being made into ‘an idol’ December 4, 2018 A United Methodist Church bishop whose election was declared invalid by the denomination’s highest court last year due to her being in a same-sex relationship is now facing a complaint over a controversial message she gave in 2017 in which she claimed Jesus had bigotries and expressed concern about making “an idol” out of Him. In a weekly message from August 2017, UMC Mountain Sky Bishop Karen Oliveto said many people “want to box Jesus in, carve Him in stone, create an idol out of Him.” “If Jesus can change, if he can give up His bigotries and prejudices, if He can realize that He had made His life too small, and if, in this realization, He grew closer to others and closer to God, than so can we.” In July 2016, Oliveto became the first openly gay bishop in the UMC when the Western Jurisdiction unanimously elected her bishop of the Mountain Sky Area, a regional body that includes congregations in Colorado, Montana, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho. https://www.christianpost.com/news/lesbian-umc-bishop-complaint-jesus-held-bigotries-made-into-idol.html The Bible says: "Flee Sexual Immorality." Some Ministres say it is unreasonable to do so: Progressive ministers say sexual chastity is 'unreasonable': 'Don't judge' people for random hookups DECEMBER 02, 2018 Earlier this week HuffPost Life interviewed Brandan Robertson of Mission Gathering Christian Church in San Diego, California; Chalice Overy of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina; and "Michael," a San Antonio man whose last name was not given and is currently working as a "clergy person" in a church. Michael considers himself "polyamorous." Notable progressive ministers are now embracing polyamory, approving of dating apps like Grindr and Tinder, calling chastity "unhealthy," and declining to warn people about the consequences of hookup culture. "I think the evangelical church world that I come from has taught some really unhealthy ideas about sex and sexuality, and I spend a lot of my time trying to deconstruct 'purity culture' in favor of a healthier, more holistic view of sexuality," said Robertson, who identifies as gay, when asked about premarital sex. "I believe for some people, waiting for marriage before having sex can be a very healthy path. I also believe that for most people, sex before marriage is a healthy expression of the gift of sexuality and is not 'sinful' or morally wrong." In October, Robertson posted a video, which he subsequently deleted, calling polyamorous and open relationships “holy” and “beautiful” in a talk at his church in support of "queer theology." Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: Liberal Lutheran pastor to melt purity rings into vagina sculpture to 'take down' church teachings about sex NOVEMBER 29, 2018 Liberal Lutheran pastor and author Nadia Bolz-Weber has encouraged women to send her their purity rings to be melted down and recast into a golden vagina in protest of evangelical purity culture. “Beginning November 12th, until December 17th, you’ll have the opportunity to send in your purity rings to be melted down and recast into a golden vagina,” she explained on her website. “This sculpture will be unveiled at the 2019 Makers Conference.” The controversial pastor first announced her art project at the 2018 Makers Conference, where she explained she wants to “take down” the “church's teachings around sex” and evangelical purity culture. “This thing about women that the church has tried to hide and control and that is a canvas on which other people can write their own righteousness ― it’s actually ours,” Bolz-Weber told HuffPost. “This part of me is mine and I get to determine what is good for it and if it’s beautiful and how I use it in the world.” She is scheduled to have a new book published next January titled Shameless: A Sexual Reformation, in which she argues that church teaching on sexuality has caused harm to many people. Earlier, she sparked controversy after she said there should be no shame in consuming pornography, especially if it is "ethically sourced." Jesus - Pan-Sexual??? Gay Christian co-founder of 'Queer Theology' claims Jesus is polyamorous, Bible supports lifestyle November 22, 2018 Brian G. Murphy, a gay Christian activist who is also co-founder of theology website Queer Theology, claimed Tuesday that Jesus is polyamorous and it is a biblical relationship model that Christians can pursue. "I'm a Christian and I'm polyamorous. I'm also kind of a slut. The reclaimed empowering kind of a slut -like Jesus," Murphy declares in a new video while adding that Jesus' polyamory goes beyond the "personal relationship idea." The Queer Theology co-founder who grew up evangelical Christian in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, said he made the video to help other Christians come out as polyamorous to their church or help them accept that "marriage can be polyamorous." "Jesus is polyamorous. We know this already if we don't think about it or put it in those terms. If you're one of those Christians who believe in having a personal relationship with Jesus, well Jesus is having personal relationships with billions of other people. He's kind of a relationship slut," Murphy argues. "In Ephesians 5, Paul specifically uses the word 'marriage' to refer to Jesus' relationship with us. Repeatedly, Paul reminds us that Jesus gave himself for us. Us. The church, which Paul describes as the whole body of believers. In this marriage, Jesus isn't married to one person. He's married to the entire body of believers. Jesus is in a pan-sexual, polyamorous relationship with us. And so of course Christians can be polyamorous. It's a biblical model of relationships," he continued. WHAT AND WHAT’S NOT SOUND DOCTRINE? I’ve always affirmed that there is a difference between what many Christians call doctrine and mere denominational manner/codes of conduct. For instance, while trying to explain aspects of their church traditions, it’s not unusual to hear some believing folks talk in terms of “our church doctrines”. When you ask them what those ‘doctrines’ are, they tell you how their church doesn’t allow the use of jewelry; how they disallow wearing of trousers by women; how that men and women must sit separately in their churches… Those who restrict believing women from wearing trousers do so based on their erroneous perception/interpretation of the biblical truths. Such instructions as “don’t ear trousers; don’t do make make-up; don’t wear jewelry, etc. are nothing but rules, regulations or codes of conduct set down by certain denominations based on their individual sentiments/opinions on the godly conducts of believers, especially in their gatherings. Such opinions are however null and void because they are not hinged strictly on what the bible says about them. The manner of life/outlook of believers must align solely with God’s word. From my interactions with believing folks who disapprove of wearing of trousers by ladies, I’ve come to observe that when asked why they are against it, they hardly have a substantial scriptural reference(s). Most times, they result to subtle-coercion and clever manipulation of particular scriptures to make it want to mean what it originally doesn’t mean. Folks against trousers for women indulge in hypocrisy by cherry-picking from the host of laws within the same chapter 22. The same body of law in Deuteronomy 22 that says “the woman shall not wear that which pertains to the man and vice-versa” says “don’t wear clothes made of mingled materials (wool and linen) together – verse 11. Also, “don’t sow different seeds on the same plot of land” – verse 9… Wouldn’t it be hypocritical if one takes a liking only to verse 5 and ignore the rest? Calling Evil good and good evil... Why Can’t You Be a Christian Witch? October 22, 2018 If you can be a Christian rapper who frequents strip clubs or a Christian model who poses in scanty lingerie, why can’t you take this one step farther? Why can’t you be a Christian witch? In the words of “Christian witch” Rev. Valerie Love, “My job as a minister of the living God, as an ordained minister of spiritual consciousness is freedom, to set us free. … People are in religious bondage because religion told you what to think, what to do. I’m not here to tell you what to think. I’m here to support you in how to think.” How liberating it is to be a Christian witch! What makes Love’s story even more bizarre is that she was born into a witch’s household — hence, “born a witch” — then was a Jehovah’s Witness from the ages of 4 to 30 before leaving the “cult.” So, she fashions herself a Bible-believer and has recently launched the Covenant of Christian Witches Mystery School with the ultimate goal being “self-realization.” And it appears that Love is not the only “Christian witch.” That helps explain why, last November, Jennifer LeClaire published a “Prophetic Warning: ‘Christian’ Witches Rising Using the Name of Jesus.” Of course, this is absolutely crazy and totally unbiblical and completely heretical. This is calling light darkness and darkness light. And this is certainly a jump from being a Christian lingerie model or a strip-club frequenting Christian rapper.

Pastor Who Uses Cussing to Draw Millions Doesn't Give a Da*n What You Think Sep 3, 2018 A controversial Memphis pastor who has drawn millions of views with his messages online by punctuating them with profane words, says he really doesn't "give a da*n" what traditional Christians think of his practice. "I find no reason to try to justify that. I'm a fisher of men. I go to people on their level. And you have to get past the cussing to get the message. The cussing has drawn the attention of millions around the country. Apparently, it's drawn yours because you're calling me," Pastor Thaddeus Matthews, who leads the Naked Truth Liberation and Empowerment Ministries in Memphis, Tennessee, told The Christian Post Thursday. While some might consider his use of expletives in his messages swearing, Matthews doesn't believe the way he uses expletives in his messages falls into that category. "There is a difference in 'cussing' and 'cursing' as people say. The words that we use today like motherf****r, sh*t, damn, were not words that were used in biblical times. "So I don't have an issue with the cussing. And the people that listen to me don't have an issue with the cussing, and I'm not trying to justify it to the traditional churchgoer," the preacher explained. Matthews, who calls himself "the cussing pastor," launched his ministry about three years ago, building on a longtime career as a controversial broadcaster in Memphis. Move of the What Spirit ? Another pitiful example of a false gospel: Prophet: Abort Baby or God will kill you: Woman Claims Self-Styled Prophet Kofi Danso Said She Would Die If She Didn't Abort Their Love Child August 30, 2018 Kofi Danso, a self-style Toronto-based prophet and leader of the multicampus Miracle for All Nations church, allegedly warned a congregant that God showed him she would die if she did not abort their child. Danso who previously denied that he had an intimate relationship with his former lover and church member, Chris-Ann Bartley, has been proven through DNA testing to be 99.999996 percent the father of Bartley's now 6-months-old son, The Star reported. About two weeks ago Ontario Superior Court Justice Fred Myers dismissed a request by Danso to extend a publication ban and sealing order seeking to conceal his identity in a paternity lawsuit because he might suffer damage to his reputation and finances. "Ms. Bartley's evidence is that when she approached Mr. Danso to tell him that she was pregnant, he asked her to have an abortion. When she declined, she claims that he told her that 'the Lord showed him if I have the child I would die," Myers wrote. The self-proclaimed prophet who is married to the Rev. JoAnne Danso, and has four daughters with her, says he was called by God to be an apostle and prophet "to raise champions and leaders in the 21st century church." His wife is pregnant with twins. Religion of Peace? One who kills and is killed for Allah “is married to 72 virgins of Paradise” AUG 27, 2018 In Arabic, shahid means “witness,” just as martyr means “witness” in Greek. A martyr is one who bears witness to the truth of his faith — in Christianity by dying for it, and in Islam by killing and dying for it, in accord with the Qur’an’s promise of Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). What this cleric is saying is not “extremist”; nor is he espousing the inventions of “Islamophobes,” as some have charged about the 72 virgins. What Nofal says here comes from a hadith of Tirmidhi: “The martyr has six unique traits: he is forgiven immediately; he sees his seat in Paradise and he is saved from the punishment of the grave; he is granted safety from the great terror [of the Day of Judgment]; a crown of honor is placed upon his head, a ruby of which is better than this life and all it contains; he is married to 72 maidens of Paradise; and he is allowed to intercede for 70 relatives.” Sheikh Omar Nofal: The martyr gets six rewards. First, he is absolved with the first drop of his blood. The moment the martyr’s blood is shed, all his sins are absolved by Allah. When he is martyred, he sees his seat in Paradise, and he is dressed in the clothes of faith. He is a unique and special person, different from the rest of the people, by the grace of Allah. In addition, he is married to 72 virgins of Paradise. This is means that he is granted, in Paradise, some of the things he wished for in life, but they are magnified to a degree that the human mind cannot comprehend. In addition, he is crowned with the crown of honor. The beads, or the links, in the crown of honor, are better than the whole world and all that is in it. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/08/muslim-cleric-one-who-kills-and-is-killed-for-allah-is-married-to-72-virgins-of-paradise IRS Recognizes 'Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft' for Lesbian Feminists as Church for Tax Purpose Aug 8, 2018 The IRS has reportedly recognized the Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft as a legitimate church. The Maryland-based group is dedicated exclusively to lesbian feminists. "The IRS recognized it as a 501(c)(3) organization and went the extra step of recognizing PCMW as a church, the most enviable of all tax statuses exempt not only from income tax but also from the transparency that filing Form 990 creates," Reilly wrote. According to information on the IRS' website, the church would have had to meet a combination of characteristics together with other facts and circumstances, to be considered a church for federal tax purposes.

California Church to Build Brewery, Drink Beer During Services Aug 2, 2018 A California church sold their church building and relocated in a new space where beer is served and plans are underway to build a brewery where church services can occur. Food lounge owner Andrea Mollenauer, whose business is hosting the church thinks it is a great idea. "Why not serve beer when they're reading Bible verses? I thought it was genius," she said. Formerly named Garfield Park Community Church, the progressive Disciples of Christ congregation's "About" section on their Facebook page and website explains that they "will embrace you regardless of your faith, personal life choices, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, political preference, social status, or economic standing." VanHall came to Santa Cruz to plant a church, according to his bio on the GPCC website, in hopes of creating "a place of safety for those who have justifiably left the church, due to bigotry and hate-filled theology. "I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if a church could figure out a way to make a product where they split the profits with local community service organizations, we were like 'hey, we love beer, we love making beer, why not do a brewery?' https://www.christianpost.com/news/california-church-build-brewery-drink-beer-during-services-226569/ Beat em up for Jesus... South Korean Pastor Arrested for Allegedly Subjecting 400 Congregants to Ritual Beatings to Appease God August 2, 2018 A controversial South Korean megachurch pastor was reportedly arrested last week and charged with foreign exchange exploitation, assault and confinement, specifically over accusations that she stranded 400 followers in Fiji and subjected them to ritual beatings years ago. The accusations, which also led to the arrest of three other church leaders, date back to 2014, when Shin's followers traveled to Fiji, based on her warnings that there would be a famine in Korea, according to The Guardian. This isn't the first time Shin was involved in a controversy. In December 2014, she was hit by a $6 million lawsuit in New York, where a branch church is located. The pastor was accused in the lawsuit by a mentally ill man of having worsened his condition. Seungick Chung, the man who filed the lawsuit, claimed that Shin deprived him of medication as she tried to cure him with prayers, the New York Daily News reported. He alleged that he was also bound with duct tape, which constricted blood flow in his right leg. His leg had to be amputated. https://www.christianpost.com/news/south-korean-pastor-arrested-for-allegedly-subjecting-400-congregants-to-ritual-beatings-to-appease-god-226542/ How do people like this get away with such deceptive ways to have ANY following at all!

"A member who is absent from attending church services for two consecutive pastoral Sundays and fails to be present on the 2nd Sunday of the following month without being properly excused by the pastor will be terminated from the church membership roll," the letter said, quoting church policy. Williams was then given a deadline of June 24 to appear before the pastor and the church's board of trustees to salvage her membership. Williams said that she was busy with her studies in college and was shocked by the way she was treated by the church administration. "The matter is over and I will not be attending Zion Chapel anymore and honestly I'm happy because I've found a new church home. Since Zion chapel says this is an indication of my 'wishes' which it couldn't have been because not one soul from that church has called to ask 'Azoia how is school going? Or how is your family?' So how can you assume it is my wish to be terminated??? But I wish nothing negative on them. I will just remove the negative from my life and move on to the bright future I know God has for me!"

Prosperity Gospel Sweeping Africa, Pentecostals, Ignores Jesus: Anglican Conference Bishops Jun 26, 2018 Prosperity gospel preaching is sweeping Africa and Pentecostal congregations, but it is not Christian and it ignores the words of Jesus, a prominent Ugandan bishop declared at the Global Anglican Future Conference in Jerusalem last week. The massive gathering of conservative Anglicans, with nearly 2,000 delegates from 53 countries, featured a speech by Bishop Rt. Rev. Alfred Olwa, where he urged believers not to reject Jesus. Olwa said that the prosperity gospel that is sweeping Africa "especially among Pentecostals" does not belong to the Christian faith, as reported by UGChristianNews.com. "They ignore texts when Jesus talks about the poor and focus on those texts that proclaim wealth," he said of such preachers, without naming names. Nigerian Archbishop Nicholas Okoh shared similar observations, but explained that those who leave Anglicanism for the prosperity gospel return later after they find out it does not deliver what it promises. https://www.christianpost.com/news/prosperity-gospel-sweeping-africa-pentecostals-ignores-jesus-global-anglican-future-conference-bishops-225378/ The Fruit of the Spirit is Self Control: A Circus Act in Jesus’ Name Here is what the author wrote about this video: Funny stuff happens when people are overcome of the Holy Ghost.

'Perfection': Woman Claims to See Jesus on Crab Shell after God Spoke to Her Jun 6, 2018 A Florida woman says she's now filled with hope after an impression of Jesus resembling famous Dutch artist Rembrandt's 1648 "Head of Christ" painting appeared on the shell of a horseshoe crab after God spoke to her and promised "perfection." The woman, Cathy Rader, told WKMG-TV that she had been going through a difficult time when a friend gave her the shell she found on Canaveral National Seashore in New Smyrna Beach. At that point, Rader said she noticed nothing special about the shell. A few days after she got the shell, Rader says she was doing her morning devotionals when God spoke to her. As time went by, the crab shell increasingly got lighter and began to look like Rembrandt's "Head of Christ." I went past it and I noticed something and I looked back and it looked like the face of Jesus. I kind of chuckled to myself and said, 'That's funny, it kind of does," she said. She now believes that God was trying to tell her something through the crab shell. "It's a sign. It's absolutely a sign!" Rader said. https://www.christianpost.com/news/perfection-woman-claims-to-see-jesus-crab-shell-after-god-spoke-to-her-224715/ Mock Jesus for riding a donkey?? A televangelist wants his followers to pay for a $54 million private jet. It’s his fourth plane. May 29, 2018 If Jesus were to descend from heaven and physically set foot on 21st-century Earth, prosperity gospel televangelist Jesse Duplantis told his followers, the Redeemer would probably take a pass on riding on the back of a donkey: “He’d be on an airplane preaching the gospel all over the world.” And Duplantis thinks the Light of the World wouldn’t exactly settle for 30 inches of legroom or getting patted down by TSA. Duplantis, saying he needs about $54 million to help him efficiently spread the gospel to as many people as possible, has asked the Lord — and hundreds of thousands of hopefully deep-pocketed followers across the world — for just such a plane. He is the latest aircraft-seeking preacher to draw raised eyebrows and outright condemnation from critics who say asking for a multimillion-dollar luxury jet is not exactly what Jesus meant when he said “store up for yourself treasures in heaven.” “We believe in God for a brand new Falcon 7X so we can go anywhere in the world, one stop,” he said. “Now people say … can’t you go with this one?” he said, pointing to a picture of the plane he uses. “Yes, but I can’t go it one stop. And if I can do it one stop, I can fly it for a lot cheaper, because I have my own fuel farm. And that’s what’s been a blessing of the Lord.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2018/05/29/a-televangelist-wants-his-followers-to-pay-for-a-54-million-private-jet-its-his-fourth-plane/?utm_term=.a970bc1cfe63 Lovers of pleasure- more than lovers of God: 'Blasphemous, Sacrilegious': Critics Condemn Celebrities, Met Gala for Christian Fashion Theme May 8, 2018 The 2018 Met Gala featured numerous celebrities dressed in fashions inspired by Roman Catholic imagery, leading some to believe that the event was sacrilegious. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art held its annual gala Monday evening, with the theme being Catholic and Christian imagery. In keeping with this imagery, singer Katy Perry dressed as an angel with large wings, actress Sarah Jessica Parker wore a Nativity scene on her head, and Rihanna wore a miter. Titled "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," the Costume Institute will feature 42 items of church fashions brought over from the Vatican through Met curator Andrew Bolton and other Catholic-inspired fashion. While some considered the gala insulting to the Christian faith, the event did garner support from Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York, who attended the festivities. "In the Catholic imagination, truth, goodness and the beauty of God is reflected all over the place, even in fashion," Dolan said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. https://www.christianpost.com/news/blasphemous-sacrilegious-critics-condemn-celebrities-met-gala-christian-fashion-theme-223777/ Beyonce and the Bible??? San Francisco Church to Hold Beyoncé Mass; Pastor Insists 'We're Following in the Way of Jesus' April 18, 2018 A San Francisco church will host a "Beyoncé Mass," featuring songs from the pop star that congregation members will be invited to sing along to, and one of its pastors is insisting that the event goes hand in hand with the teachings of Jesus Christ. "I know there are people who will say using Beyoncé is just a cheap way of trying to get people in the church," the Rev. Jude Harmon, director of innovative ministries for Grace Cathedral, an Episcopal Church, told SFGate on Tuesday. Grace Cathedral, the site of one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous sermons in 1965, plans to hold the "Beyoncé Mass" on April 25. The service will feature a sermon by the Rev. Yolanda Norton, assistant professor of the Old Testament at San Francisco Theological Seminary. Norton teaches a course there titled "Beyoncé and the Bible."

Gruesome footage from across the Southeast Asian country showed masked devotees performing the acts of self-inflicted pain to mark the Holy Week in a bloody religious ritual to atone for their sins.

Walrond Jr., one of New York City's most influential pastors who leads the more than 10,000-member First Corinthian Baptist Church in Harlem, is coming under fire online for telling his congregants that the belief that Jesus is the only way to Heaven is "insanity." "We are an ever evolving community of visionaries, dreamers, and doers who have been called by God to live the lives we were created to live; commanded by God to love beyond the limits of our prejudices and commissioned by God to serve," the statement read. The key is you believe in God. And whatever your path is to God I celebrate that. Personally I celebrate that," he said to a smattering of applause. "Again, we have enough in this world that divides us we need to find those things that bring us together. And if God cannot bring us closer together then something is wrong, not with God but in how we think we know God and understand God." https://www.christianpost.com/news/belief-jesus-is-only-way-to-heaven-is-insanity-megachurch-pastor-michael-a-walrond-jr-says-221123/ More Strange Brew: A religion is born S.L. man blends the teachings of Christ and Buddha Yi-Chen is not lecturing these days. Instead he spends much of his time working on a book he says he was encouraged to write in yet another revelation. "Every morning I wake up and it's like someone has left a message in my heart. I have to write it down and show it to the world. It's my mission now." He will call the book — just a month or two from being finished, he says —"New Millennium Testament," but it's clear that he doesn't think of it as just another book. His new Web site is called www.bible3.org. Yes, he says, LDS prophet Joseph Smith received a revelation, too. "He prepared the way for the eternal gospel, but he only started the prelude, not the full version," Yi-Chen says. "The main reason the Father sent me here is that Joseph Smith was one of the two witnesses in Revelation 11." But Joseph Smith only fulfilled that prophecy, he says. Now that other prophesies have been revealed, "the secret of revelation will be revealed in this book." Yi-Chen will publish the book himself. As for distribution, he says he's not worried. "The word of God has its own power," he says. "I just wrote down the revelation I received, and God will take care of the rest." If not this generation, then the next, he says.

But no one knows why Marking the start of Lent for Orthodox Christians in the Lebanese city of Tripoli, Zambo is celebrated by Muslims too although its origins are unknown 19 February, 2018 Residents of the Lebanese city of Tripoli donned bright, curly wigs and dark body paint Sunday for Zambo, a mysterious festival on the eve of the start of the Orthodox Christian period of Lent. The origins of the annual celebration remain unclear, even to celebrants. It only seems to take place in a seaside suburb of Tripoli, a Muslim-majority city with an Orthodox minority. But that has never dampened revellers, dozens of whom hopped and danced their way through Tripoli’s streets, glittery hats on their heads and sceptres in hand, a day before the beginning of the fast for eastern-rite Christians. “Zambo, zambo, zambo!” they chanted. Muslims and Christians often take part in each other’s festivities here – but no one is quite sure where Zambo came from. http://www.scmp.com/news/world/middle-east/article/2133760/mystery-festival-muslims-and-christians-chant-zambo-zambo Matthew 24:23: “Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it.” Apollo Quiboloy, Megachurch Pastor Who Claims to Be Appointed Son of God, Detained With Piles of Cash February 15, 2018 Apollo Quiboloy, a controversial megachurch pastor from the Philippines who boasts some 6 million tithing followers in that country and worldwide, was detained by federal agents in Honolulu, Hawaii, last Thursday after some $350,000 in cash and parts to assemble military-style rifles were discovered on his private jet. Quiboloy, who leads the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Church, was among six people on his Cessna Citation Sovereign when Customs and Border Enforcement agents boarded it just before departure and found the cash and gun parts, Hawaii News Now reported. The cash was all neatly folded $100 bills stuffed inside socks in a suitcase. Quiboloy, who is a former member of the United Pentecostal Church, founded the Restorationism church in 1985 after he said he received a calling from God. According to Asia Times, God came to his mother in the form of a cloud after he was born, and declared, "That's my Son." "When the Father called me, He isolated me in two mountains. He let me go through some spiritual experiences that I never had before. He said, 'I'll give to you the spirits of these ministries: the mosaic, solomonic and the prophetic ministries.' And in those visions, I (and many others) saw myself standing, as three, big, spirit-like men entered my body. The interpretation was of the three ministries – the mosaic, the solomonic, and the prophetic ministry – entrusted to me by the Father," he notes on the church's website. He calls himself the appointed son of God. Queer Christians + Purple Ashes = Repentance?? Queer Christians organize second Glitter Ash Wednesday Campaign makes LGBTQ Christians and allies visible February 8, 2018 For the second year, pro-LGBTQ Christians across the country will “come out” on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 14) as part of #GlitterAshWednesday, announced today by the Rev. Marian Edmonds-Allen, executive director of Parity, lead organizer of the initiative. “Last year Glitter Ash Wednesday had an effect far beyond what we had dreamed, with more than 200 churches and communities in 29 states, the United Kingdom and Canada taking part,” said the Rev. Edmonds-Allen. “We were amazed by the number of people who relished the opportunity to come out as LGBTQ and Christian, and by the scores of churches that wanted to share their love for those who far too often are told that God doesn’t love them because of who they are or who they love.” Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day season of self-reflection and preparation for Easter. The imposition of ashes on the forehead, a traditional practice that “marks” believers with the sign of the cross, takes place in Christian churches and communities worldwide, as well as in parks, commuter rail stations and other public spaces. In addition to offering the traditional ashes, participants in #GlitterAshWednesday offer ashes mixed with purple glitter, combining a symbol of repentance with a message of solidarity. The Rev. Elizabeth M. Edman, the Episcopal priest and author who conceived Glitter+Ash 2017, said, “Ashes are a bold, public statement that death and suffering are real. Glitter is a queer sign of hope and of our promise not to despair even in difficult times.” Parity has made available a range of resources, including church and street liturgies, theological talking points and a how-to on making glitter ashes, for faith communities interested in participating in #GlitterAshWednesday. https://religionnews.com/2018/02/08/queer-christians-organize-second-glitter-ash-wednesday/ 2 Timothy 3: “In the Last Days...having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof…lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God” Megachurch Pastor William Curtis Draws Criticism Over $230K Bentley Bentayga Feb 9, 2018 Leader of the 10,000-member Mount Ararat Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, William H. Curtis, has sparked a vigorous debate online after his $230,000 Bentley Bentayga, which costs nearly twice as much as the median home in the church's Larimer neighborhood, was photographed outside the church. The photograph of the pastor's Bentayga, which Bentley boasts is the fastest SUV in the world with a top speed of 187 mph, was posted to Facebook Monday by Jarrell Taylor who criticized the pastor's opulent display.

Megachurch Accused of Practicing Occult in Use of 'Destiny Cards' Dec 24, 2017 Bethel Church, a controversial megachurch in Redding, California, is now under fire in Christian circles for allegedly promoting New Age occultism in the use of "Destiny Cards," which critics have likened to tarot cards. Leaders of the 9,000-member congregation have been accused of working with a Melbourne, Australia-based group known as Christ Alignment, a group that claims to have worked with many churches in that country to do readings. Christ Alignment staff describe themselves as "trained spiritual consultants," and say on their website that they "draw from the same divine energy of the Christ spirit. We practice a form of supernatural healing that flows from the universal presence of the Christ. We draw from the same divine energy of the Christ spirit, as ancient followers did and operate only out of the third heaven realm to gain insight and revelation," they say. Marsha West of the Christian Research Network argues that the Destiny Cards are just another name for tarot cards which Christ Alignment uses to "practice the prophetic." https://www.christianpost.com/news/calif-megachurch-accused-of-practicing-occult-in-use-of-destiny-cards-211143/ Baptising Dead folks? Mormon Church Baptizing Holocaust Victims, Lubavitcher Rebbe and Celebrities, Researcher Says December 24, 2017 Mormons have posthumously baptized the late Lubavitcher rebbe, the grandparents of Carrie Fisher and Steven Spielberg, and hundreds of Holocaust victims, violating an agreement to halt the practice The names cited by Radkey refer to Holocaust victims baptized from April 2012 and onward. In March 2012, the Mormon church, formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sent a letter to its congregations reiterating a 1995 policy that members should only do posthumous baptisms on their own ancestors and forbidding baptisms of Jewish Holocaust victims and celebrities. The practice of proxy baptisms is a controversial one. Mormons are instructed to perform baptisms on dead relatives who did not have the opportunity to convert to the church. However, in the 1990s it was discovered that Mormons had performed such rites on hundreds of thousands of Jews who died in the Holocaust. This angered Jewish groups, which said the practice disrespected the victims’ religious beliefs. https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/1.830823 Islam: If men shave - you look too much like a woman: Islamic preacher in Turkey says men without beards may cause ‘indecent thoughts’ An Islamic preacher in Turkey has drawn a backlash after suggesting that clean-shaven men sometimes "cannot be distinguished from women" and can cause "indecent thoughts." Speaking on the private religious station Fatih Medreseleri (Madrasahs) TV on Dec. 16, preacher Murat Bayaral blasted beardless men and said there is no need to receive permission from wives for a man to shave his beards. “Men should grow beards. One of the two body parts that separate men from women is the beard. For example, if you see a man with long hair from afar you may think he is a woman if he does not have a beard. Because nowadays women and men dress similarly. God forbid!

Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34 Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127) A RADICALISED Muslim who removed his wife’s right eye before slaughtering her in front of their children told police it was “normal” behavior in the Middle East. The brutal killer, who cannot be named to protect the identities of his three children, is facing life behind bars after he pleaded guilty to the horrific killing in June last year. The Supreme Court heard on Friday how the Broad meadows man had set out on a “prolonged and vicious” knife attack on his wife at their family home. He removed her right eye in what is believed to be inspired by the Islamist one-eyed antichrist Dajjal, and cut off two of her fingers while she was still alive. She bled to death after suffering deep lacerations across her face, neck, arms, legs, back, hips and genitalia. Her butchered body, wrapped in a doona with cling wrap and electrical tape, was found dumped in grassland in Dallas a month later.

The theology his uncle espouses is "twisted," he said. In an HLN exclusive interview with Carol Costello, Costi Hinn described growing up in the Hinn family as a hybrid of being a "royal family" (lavish riches) and the "mafia" (strict enforcement of the mafia). Hinn further explained that the luxurious way of life that he had was "living the dream," with flights on a G4 or G5 private gulfstream airliners, layovers in Monte Carlo, and stays in a fancy hotel suites that cost $25,000 per night. Costello asked Hinn how they justified preaching the message of Jesus, who was not a wealthy man, with such a lavish lifestyle. The theology they used was "twisted," he replied. "If you take the Bible and you take what Jesus taught and you take some of the promises of heaven and the riches of heaven and the wonderful glories of heaven and you make them a now thing, then you really have a model for your best life now."

Shannon Johnson Kershner has declared that Christianity is not the only way to heaven. Kershner, 45, who leads the 5,500-member Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago, Illinois, expressed her belief in a podcast with the Chicago Sun-Times after she was asked the question "Is Christianity the only way to heaven?" "No," Kershner replied bluntly. Before sharing her position of salvation, Kershner, who started at Fourth Presbyterian church in 2014, said she regularly doubted the existence of God at times. For instance, in the aftermath of the deadly Las Vegas massacre, she said, "God has some explaining to do." "Doubt is healthy, doubt is not the opposite of faith, it's fear," she said. http://www.christianpost.com/news/christianity-is-not-the-only-way-to-heaven-prominent-presbyterian-pastor-says-201929/ Where do you find this in the Bible? Pastor Who Sexually Assaulted Six Women While 'Ridding Them of Evil Spirits' Gets 21 Years in Prison October 4, 2017 John Wilson, 70, was found guilty of assaulting his victims during "deliverance" sessions at a Pentecostal church in Keighley, West Yorkshire over a 26-year period, from 1984 to 2010, the Metro reports. In total, he was charged with 14 counts of indecent assault, three of conspiracy to commit indecent assault and one of sexual assault following a six-week trial. Wilson's "method of ridding the spirits" involved the inappropriate "touching of these women," the judge said. "A screen of deceit concealed your motive," he continued. "None of these women were remotely cured. The three you abused frequently are likely to retain metaphorical scars for the rest of their lives. They are to be commended for exposing you as the charlatan you are and have been found to be." http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/71449/20171004/pastor-who-sexually-assaulted-six-women-ridding-evil-spirits-gets.htm 2 Timothy 4:3-4: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” End Times Tribulation Will Actually Begin on Oct. 15, Claims Christian Numerologist Sep 25, 2017 The beginning of the End Times will actually occur on Oct. 15, according to a Christian numerologist who denies having ever said that the world would end on Sept. 23 of this year. David Meade, who received much attention for his claims on when the events of the Book of Revelation would begin to transpire, explained in a recent post on his website that the much heralded Sept. 23 was not supposed to be considered the end of the world. "When the birth of Jupiter from Virgo occurs, we also see the fulfillment of Genesis 3:15 and Revelation 12:4 when great and fearful signs in the heavens are given. When the birth of Jupiter from Virgo occurs, we also see the fulfillment of Genesis 3:15 and Revelation 12:4 when great and fearful signs in the heavens are given.

"If we use astronomical calculations and the Book of Revelation only, and no extra-Biblical source such as visions, this takes us to the most important date of this century or millennium – October 15 this year of 2017," continued Meade. http://www.christianpost.com/news/end-times-tribulation-will-actually-begin-on-oct-15-claims-christian-numerologist-200466/ We call it child molestation - in this country- you go to jail! India: Global child bride racket uncovered, eight Muslim sheikhs arrested SEPTEMBER 23, 2017 “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria “There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council “Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88). https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/09/india-global-child-bride-racket-uncovered-eight-muslim-sheikhs-arrested Pastor says: Hillary's defeat likened to the death of Jesus?? Hillary Clinton's Pastor Compares Her Defeat by Trump to Death of Christ, Says She Now Wants to Preach After Hillary Clinton suffered a devastating loss in the 2016 presidential race to Donald Trump, her longtime pastor — who compared her loss to the death of Christ — says she now has her eyes set on a higher calling. She wants to be a preacher and he thinks she'll be great at it. He revealed to CNN, however, that Clinton's loss last November was so devastating it may have been comparable to what the disciples experienced when Jesus died. "I woke up that morning (on November 9) and it felt like maybe what the Apostles experienced on Good Friday. Their leader, master and savior was dead and gone and they didn't know what to do. And I thought of this phrase from the Rev. Tony Compolo: Good Friday was tough, but Sunday was coming," he said. http://www.christianpost.com/news/hillary-clintons-pastor-compares-her-defeat-by-trump-to-death-of-christ-says-she-now-wants-to-preach-195182/ Jesus will land on the top of this Mormon Temple??? Contested sacred space USA: Conflict and cooperation in the heartland This 2.5-acre site is sacred to a number of religious groups, all of which trace their origins to Joseph Smith Jr., the Mormon prophet. It is here, Smith declared in 1831, that Jesus will return — and soon — to rule his kingdom from a beautiful temple. For now, there is no temple — construction never got past the laying of cornerstones. But the three largest Mormon denominations have presences in and around Temple Lot: The 15 million-member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints runs a visitors center on one corner across the street; the Community of Christ, with 200,000 members, has its world headquarters and an auditorium on two other corners; and the Church of Christ (Temple Lot), which has just 5,000 members, has a low-slung sanctuary a few steps away. Today, the three largest of these may have more theological differences than commonalities. The LDS church and the Church of Christ (Temple Lot) retain their belief in a literal and imminent return of Jesus to Independence, while the Community of Christ does not. The LDS church has “temple ordinances” — sacraments and rites performed in temples for baptism of the dead, marriage and “sealing” families as “eternal.” Neither of the other two has these ordinances. And only Community of Christ ordains women and accepts noncelibate LGBT people as full members. http://religionnews.com/2017/08/11/contested-sacred-space-usa-conflict-and-cooperation-in-the-heartland/ Pot Growing Churches "Stoned on Jesus": Rastafarian pot farm shootout sparks religious-use debate August 6, 2017 Heidi and Charles Lepp, who run the Sugarleaf Rastafarian Church, stand in the backyard of their Sacramento, Calif., home on Aug. 2, 2017. The Lepps use cannabis as a sacrament in their religion. The shooting of two California deputies responding to a disturbance at the Rastafarian marijuana farm has drawn attention to religious use of the drug, sparking debate over whether churches should be protected from drug prosecutions. Heidi Lepp launched her Sugarleaf Rastafarian Church in 2014 while Charles was serving eight years in federal prison after openly growing more than 20,000 pot plants in Lake County for what he considered religious purposes. She said she’s advised nearly 200 farms affiliated with her church not to adhere to state licensing rules. “As a member of the church you aren’t bound by a lot of the rules other people are,” Charles Lepp said. “You’re not supposed to grow in Yuba County where this incident happened without a county-issued permit, (but) as a church you don’t need a permit.” At this point, the Lepps have no plans to come into the legal fold. They insist that religious freedom laws apply to them because marijuana is the sacrament of their religion. Heidi Lepp shares a set of documents with every group that affiliates with her Sugarleaf Rastafarian Church, advising them not to consent to property searches or police questioning. She instructs them all to call her before dealing with law enforcement. http://religionnews.com/2017/08/03/rastafarian-pot-farm-shootout-sparks-religious-use-debate/ Islamic doctrine: Give your girls to suicide missions: they go into the presence of 72 Virgins???

It is a tale of unspeakable evil. In the words of Brigadier General Sani Usman, "The Nigerian Army wishes to appeal to religious, traditional and community leaders, as well as all well-meaning Nigerians, especially in the North-East of our country, to help dissuade people from donating their daughters or wards to Boko Haram terrorists for indoctrination and suicide bombing missions." "Boko Haram terrorists have so far used more than 145 girls in suicide bombing missions between January and July 2017" — although, the article notes, the figure could actually be higher. http://www.christianpost.com/news/parents-are-donating-their-girls-to-blow-themselves-up-in-nigeria-194622/ Money Hungry Preachers will have something coming to them on Judgment Day: Creflo Dollar Debuts New Pulpit Made Entirely Of Hundred Dollar Bills Creflo Dollar reportedly broke in his new, looming pulpit made entirely out of hundred-dollar bills. The large, intimidating money pulpit was constructed out of all the crisp, freshly banded c-notes placed in the offering plate by Dollar’s church members over the past several weeks. “But still, can we all just take a moment and admire the beautiful construction on this new pulpit made out of your hard-earned cash? Fantastic,” he continued. “If Jesus were on Earth today, I guarantee He would be preaching from a pulpit just like this one.” The pulpit was crafted by a custom furniture design firm at a cost of approximately $30 million, in addition to the cost of the raw materials. In light of such a cost, Dollar reportedly asked his congregation during his message to consider a donation of $300 per month to help pay off the ornate, cash-hewn lectern. http://babylonbee.com/news/creflo-dollar-debuts-new-pulpit-made-entirely-hundred-dollar-bills/ Pastor letting his boy be a girl?

Pastor, Wife Allowed Son to Start Identifying as Girl at Age 2 Because He Liked 'All Things Girly Jul 28, 2017 A New Jersey pastor and his wife who allowed their now 10-year-old son to start identifying as a girl at age 2, say they made the decision to let him live as he liked because he gravitated to "all things girly" as a child and was so unhappy with his life as a boy he tried to kill himself. With his son Ben, now living as a girl named Rebekah, Pastor Christopher Bruesehoff of Holy Counselor Lutheran Church in Vernon, New Jersey, told Barcroft TV that he is worried about his transgender child's life as Rebekah gets older in the world.

About the Lord of the Second Advent "In order to become the Lord at his Second Advent, I had to go to the spirit world and return with God’s seal of approval. By my going to the spirit world, a battle took place there for forty-three days. Everyone, from the bottom of hell to the top of heaven, said, “Rev. Moon is a heretic!” I had to deal with this, beginning from the lowest place, right through to the saints at the very end. I had to argue with them in God’s presence and go through a decisive battle that decided who was the Lord of righteousness. What was the issue at that time? It was concerning the stained lineage of all the people in the spirit world and whether they knew that they had to change that. What was the second consideration? It concerned transferring the rights of ownership of all material things. I stated that, “Those who had rights of ownership during their life on earth are traitors to the Kingdom of Heaven!” No matter how great the founders of the religions were, they had to face this judgment. That is why, when I fought in the spirit world, I stood my ground in battle and challenged them confidently, asking, “Who’s the heretic?” Since great chaos would come to the spirit world after this, God had to make a decision as the Judge. But even He stood against me. God said, “Rev. Moon is a heretic, as you all say.” Why? Since Adam had betrayed God, in accordance with the laws of restoration through indemnity, the person representing perfected Adam had to face a situation of betrayal, even by God Himself. Only then could the walls that were raised in God’s heart be brought down. In this way, everyone was against me, and even God was standing on the other side, leaving me totally alone. Still, the spirit world could not be left as it was, in a whirlpool of chaos. God had to make the final decision. He proclaimed, “The transition of the lineage, transition of the rights of ownership and transition of the realm of heart that Rev. Moon speaks of, are true.” I then had to return here, to this world, after receiving God’s seal as a victorious champion." http://sanctuary-pa.org/index.php/2017/01/29/celebrations-for-50th-true-gods-day-and-the-holy-births-of-jesus-and-true-father/ The doctine of Demons: Slain in the Spirit!

Christian Ministers to Use 'Magic Mushrooms' for 'Religious Experience' for Johns Hopkins Study Jul 9, 2017 Two dozen religious leaders from different faiths, including Catholic, Orthodox and Presbyterian priests as well as Rabbis and Buddhists, are now part of a Johns Hopkins study into the effects of psychedelic drugs on religious experience. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, will give those religious leaders two powerful doses of psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. "People emerge after the [psychedelic] experience reflecting back and believing that experience to be deeply personally meaningful to them," Roland Griffiths, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at JHU School of Medicine, recently told Business Insider. "Their instruction is to go within and collect experiences," Richards explained. "Generally people seem to be getting a deeper appreciation of their own religious heritage" after the use of the drug, he added. "In these transcendental states of consciousness, people seem to get to levels of consciousness that seem universal.

"It's time the IRS started looking into these people that are raping the Christian community," Trinity Foundation President Ole Anthony told The Christian Post in a phone interview on Monday. They are cheating the people of knowing the mystery of God," he said. As The Charlotte Observer reported last week, Coontz was indicted on three counts of failure to pay taxes and four counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax returns. The televangelist and author of several books on the topic of seed giving that he says can make people rich, claimed as business expenses his family's $1.5 million condo, along with a fleet of luxury cars, including three BMWs, two Ferraris, a Maserati and a Land Rover. The federal criminal bill of indictment further states that Coontz provided no proof that his Regal 2500 boat, 400 charges at movie theaters, $228,000 in clothing purchases and $140,000 in meals and other entertainment were all business expenses.

Man Says He Was Sent by God to Save California Girl Stripped Naked, Bitten by Mother in Exorcism June 19, 2017 A local resident from Humboldt County, California, said that he was "sent by God" to save an 11-year-old girl on Friday who was stripped naked and almost choked and bitten to death by her mother in an exorcism. "The mother had stripped the child naked and was shoving handfuls of sand in the child's eyes and into the child's mouth. The mother stated she was trying to remove the Demons from the child. The mother, 45 year old Kimberly Felder of Ferndale, continued the assault by viciously striking, biting, and choking the child. This assault was being witnessed by a crowd of approximately 10 to 12 people," the report said. "The things that lady was saying did not add up for it to be an exorcism or even a belief. Plain and simple, she was trying to kill that little girl. "No holy water, no crosses, no religious relics were present, and I feel in my heart God sent me there for a reason and it might have been that. Hopefully I passed in the Lord's eyes," Marciel stated. http://www.christianpost.com/news/man-says-he-was-sent-by-god-to-save-california-girl-stripped-naked-bitten-by-mother-in-exorcism-188541/#5oZBE7cZkyAaVBdm.99 Romans 1:32 : " who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them." Christian Lesbian Rock Star Vicky Beeching Given Award by Archbishop of Canterbury Jun 13, 2017 Controversial Christian rock star Vicky Beeching, who in 2014 came out as a lesbian and argued that God loves her "just the way I am," has received an award by the head of the Anglican Communion for her contributions to worship music. "Still amazed this happened last Friday. I never thought, after coming out as gay, that I would receive an award like this. Means so much," she tweeted on Monday, and shared a link of the official document praising her for her contributions to contemporary worship music. "If 10,000 pastors declared they were gay tomorrow, it would not change the truth of the Bible one iota. If 10,000 worship leaders declared that God had made them gay, it would not change a single scriptural truth," wrote Michael Brown, host of the nationally syndicated talk radio show The Line of Fire, in an op-ed published in The Christian Post. "As I have emphasized repeatedly, despite the increasing number of professing 'gay Christians' — by which I mean those who claim that you can follow Jesus and practice homosexuality at the same time — there are 'no new textual, archeological, sociological, anthropological, or philological discoveries [that] have been made in the last fifty years that would cause us to read any of these biblical texts differently."

Liberal voices within the Church have argued that vicars have had to carry out unofficial services to welcome and accommodate transgender Christians, and have called on the community to embrace those who identify as such. Conservatives, such as General Synod member Andrea Williams, director of Christian Concern, have strongly opposed the idea, however, stating that it goes against tradition. "We are sensitive to people who feel uncomfortable with their sex, but Christian teaching is that God made us man and woman. The Church should help people to see the beauty of their God-given sex instead of confusing them." The Rev. Chris Newlands, the vicar of Lancaster Priory, proposed the motion back in 2015, calling on the House of Bishops to "consider whether some nationally commended liturgical materials might be prepared to mark a person's gender transition. Newlands, who is in a civil union with another man, said it is an "absolute trauma" to get through sex change surgery and face what he described as transphobic bullying.

May 05, 2017 In a few days, the world will witness the beginning of World War 3, according to a self-proclaimed "messenger of God," but how does his prediction line up with other end-time prophecies? Horacio Villegas, a Roman Catholic, said the war will start on May 13, which coincides with the 100th anniversary of the apparition of the Lady of Fatima in Portugal. He also foretold when the war will end: October 13. Villegas said the revelation was given to him in a dream, wherein he saw "balls of fire," or missiles, falling from the sky and causing much devastation. "I saw balls of fire falling from the sky and hitting the Earth," he told Daily Star. "I believe these were symbolic of the nuclear missiles that will fall on cities and people throughout the world." He also saw people frantically trying to escape the terror. Villegas said World War 3 will happen just as the Lady of Fatima said that if Russia will not be converted to the Catholic faith, then God will use it to bring great destruction on earth. http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/70365/20170505/man-predicts-world-war-3-will-start-next-week-does-it-line-up-with-other-end-time-prophecies.htm Confronting a fake: WATCH: Wheelchair-Bound Man Confronts 'False Prophet' at Healing Meeting A wheelchair-bound man attended Todd Bentley's healing crusade Thursday to rebuke the faith-healing preacher.

The victim was found lying naked on a riverbank near a ravine, her body tied up and badly burned. According to local media outlet La Prensa, she was brought to a hospital but died a few days later because of severe burns and infection. Trujillo Garcia, mother of two, was believed to be demon possessed because she reportedly attacked people with a machete. The pastor and other members of the congregation took her from her home on Feb. 15, supposedly for healing prayer, and kept her locked away until Feb. 21. Her relatives revealed during the trial that she was bound and beaten and was not given food or water. They and other people were also forbidden from visiting her. The pastor also reportedly advised them to not feel love for her because she had an evil spirit. "He told us not to feel any love for her, because that was just the devil, that she had to be burned until only her head was left," Roberto Trujillo, the victim's cousin, told the court, according to the Telegraph. http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/70358/20170505/nicaragua-pastor-convicted-homicide-burning-demon-possessed-woman-purify-evil.htm Pastor's Gay feelings over Clear Cut Scripture Adventist Pastor Comes Out as Bisexual, Resigns Over Church's Biblical Teachings on Homosexuality May 1, 2017 A female pastor at a Seventh-day Adventist church in Arizona has come out as bisexual and resigned from her position, saying that she has "come to a point of complete disagreement with the Adventist Church on their teachings about LGBT people."

Trey Pearson releases first music video since coming out as a gay Christian rock star Artist Trey Pearson hugs a man in a final scene from the music video of his new single, “Silver Horizon.” In May, the former frontman of Christian rock band Everyday Sunday came out as gay in a letter to fans. Now Pearson has channeled all of that into his first solo single, “Silver Horizon,” and its music video, which premiered earlier this week. In it, a young gay man sings during a church service, then shares a kiss with his partner to applause from the congregation. The musician said the sequence reflects his feelings about seeing more churches become “open and affirming” to LGBT members, “and, in all seriousness, my desire to continue to see a change. I wanted to make a video that portrays the church when it’s at its best: unconditional love and joy and showing the love of Jesus.” http://religionnews.com/2017/04/05/trey-pearson-releases-first-music-video-since-coming-out-as-a-gay-christian-rock-star/ God created Adam and Eve - not Adam and Steve... 'I Believe Jesus Would Approve Gay Marriage,' Says Former President Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, said Tuesday that in his personal opinion Jesus Christ would approve of same-sex marriage. "I believe Jesus would. I don't have any verse in Scripture. ... I believe Jesus would approve gay marriage, but that's just my own personal belief. I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else. And I don't see that gay marriage damages anyone else," Carter told HuffPost Live in an interview on Tuesday. http://www.christianpost.com/news/i-believe-jesus-would-approve-gay-marriage-says-former-president-jimmy-carter-141293/#r7eYJjsEEJQlQGjG.99 Do interfaith advocates really believe in unity? Rabbi Schloss, Texas Taqiyya, and A Shabbat That’s Fairly Shalom APRIL 18, 2017 Rabbi Deborah Schloss invited local Muslims to attend an “interfaith Shabbat service” at her synagogue in Clear Lake, Texas. The Muslim guests, members of the Clear Lake Islamic Center, were present to share an Interfaith Shabbat Service. The local dialogue initiative focused on common religious themes. Rabbi Schloss has allowed herself to be persuaded by that deceptive phrase about “Abrahamic faiths” to assume “commonalities” among those faiths that, for Muslims, simply do not exist. These two Abrahams are very different, and the appropriation of the figure of Abraham, turned into a Muslim who “hates” Jews and other Infidels, is nothing for Rabbi Schloss to celebrate. “We’ve had relations for a long time,” Rabbi Schloss told the JHV. “I’m interested in deepening those relations. I feel compelled by all of the bigotry, ignorance and intolerance that we see in our nation and around the world today. There’s no better time for both of our communities to intellectually know and feel deeply in our hearts that we’re all children of the same G-d. And, we express our relationship to this G-d in diverse and beautiful ways.” What is said about Jews and Christians in Saudi textbooks, texts that are used not just in Saudi Arabia, but sent to Islamic schools all around the world, including some in the United States? Here’s a tiny sample: “The Hour will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews, and Muslims will kill all the Jews.” “It’s allowed to demolish, burn or destroy the bastions of the Kuffar (infidels) — and all what constitutes their shield from Muslims if that was for the sake of victory for the Muslims and the defeat for the Kuffar.” “The Apes are the people of the Sabbath, the Jews; and the Swine are the infidels of the communion of Jesus, the Christians.

Christian Man Gets 10 to 20 Years for Killing Worshiper Inside Church after Argument Over Seats Apr 19, 2017 Mark T. Storms, a member of the Keystone Fellowship Church in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, who fatally shot a troubled worshiper inside the church following a fight over seats last spring was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in state prison and two years probation Tuesday. In tears, Braxton's father, Robert Jr., also told the judge that his son was not himself in church the day he was killed and had simply gone to "his Father's house" to seek comfort for whatever was bothering him.

It is a world where a woman, a child, a person with sexual and psychological aberrations are doomed to the fate of the miserable dog or donkey. It is a world of jinns, spirits, beliefs in conspiracies, legalized pedophilia and actual slavery, “codes of honor” and boundless fanaticism, clans structures, arrogant and suspicious attitude towards the outside world. It is a world that brings us back to the prehistory of mankind. The current concept of “Jihad” is much closer to primitive human sacrifice. The purpose of the ancient cult of sacrifice was to appease the angry and bloodthirsty Deity. For the sacramental ceremony they selected predominantly children, juveniles and girls of own tribe as the embodiment of naivety and virginity. Sacrifice represented a horrifying theatrical performance. The sacral victims that voluntarily sacrificed themselves went to paradise where they could enjoy carnal pleasures. People from another tribe were slain like cattle. The same mythologeme we can see in the current interpretation of “Jihad”. For the role of “martyrs” they choose children and adolescents that are too young to realize they are going to the slaughter. They believe that by killing themselves they make their way to heaven — to the embrace of 72 virgins. (What else can a man of Bronze Age dream about?). On the other side, slashing of people from another tribe chosen randomly, especially women and children, shall delight the cruel Deity and make his enemies tremble from horror. http://www.worldtribune.com/cannibalism-sexual-perversions-animal-abuse-the-descent-of-middle-eastern-islam-into-a-primeval-abyss/ Disgusting Works I the Name of Jesus: I Am a Billionaire - Kenneth Copeland Judgment will eventually come on this false preacher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMy6MB2nHqA Have a short leg?

ISIS Sex Slave Survivor: Terror Group Says Raping Underage Girls Is OK 'Under Islamic Law' Human rights activist Nadia Murad, who was held captive by the Islamic State terror group and gang-raped and forced to watch the execution of several of her family members, says the radicals use Islamic law to justify their selling and rape of underage girls. "Early morning on Aug. 3, 2014, they attacked us," Murad said in a CNN interview, describing the scene when she was kidnapped from her home in Sinjar, Kurdistan. Nearly 6,500 women and children from the Yazidi were abducted and about 5,000 people from the community were killed during that day. For eight months, they separated us from our mothers and our sisters and our brothers, and some of them were killed and others disappeared." Murad, who has spoken before the United Nations and several human rights organizations about the horrors she endured, added that her mother and six of her brothers and stepbrothers were executed. As an unmarried woman, she was taken as a sex slave and passed around to various IS militants, at one point even being gang-raped until she passed out. She eventually escaped and has since been speaking out against IS' practice of selling young girls as slaves. "They sold girls, girls that were underage, because ISIS considered that permissible under Islamic law," Murad revealed.

Eat more Brains: Hindus outraged as CNN's new series shows Reza Aslan eating human brains with India's Aghori sect American Hindu groups have criticized Aslan's episode of his docu-series claiming it was 'Hinduphobic'. March 11, 2017 In the wake of recent alleged hate crimes against Hindus in America, the community is not taking too lightly to a recently-aired episode of CNN's documentary series Believers, which focused on an alleged Hindu cannibal sect. Author and presenter Reza Aslan sparked a controversy after the channel aired the first episode of the series that showed him meeting with the Aghori sect, a mystical Hindu sect known for its extreme rituals, and eating cooked human brains. Members of the group persuade him to bathe in the Ganges River, the waters of which are considered sacred by the Hindus. One sadhu (ascetic) then smears his forehead with human ash and offers him alcohol to drink from a human skull. The host was then forced to eat a piece of charred meat, which the Aghori informed him, was cooked human brain. "Want to know what a dead guy's brain tastes like? Charcoal," Aslan wrote on Facebook. "It was burnt to a crisp!" The meeting with this particular group comes to a messy end when the ascetic loses his temper at Aslan and threatens to cut off his head if he keeps talking so much. The man then begins to eat his own excrement and throws some on the CNN crew as well. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/hindus-outraged-cnns-new-series-shows-reza-aslan-eating-human-brains-indias-aghori-sect-1610988 Glitter on the foreheads of “queer Christians”? ‘Glitter Ash Wednesday’ sparkles for LGBT Christians and others February 14, 2017 A New York-based advocacy group called Parity is asking Christians who favor LGBT equality — “queer positive Christians,” in their parlance — to show their support by wearing “glitter ash” on their foreheads to mark Ash Wednesday (March 1). Ash Wednesday kicks off the six-week somber season called Lent that leads to Easter, and is usually marked in churches with the color purple. Traditionally, plain gray ashes, blessed by a minister or priest, are smeared on the foreheads of Christians to symbolize repentance. “This is a way for queer Christians and queer-positive persons of faith to say ‘We are here,'” said Marian Edmonds-Allen, Parity’s executive director. “It is also a way for other people to be a witness to that and be in solidarity with them.” http://religionnews.com/2017/02/14/glitter-ash-wednesday-sparkles-for-lgbt-christians-and-others/ No wonder our children are so mixed up... Pentecostal Church Counselor Claims Safe Sex Is OK for Teens Who Can't Control Themselves Feb 13, 2017 The Church of Pentecost in Ghana is clarifying its position on sex and marriage after one of its counselors suggested that sex is permissible for teenagers who can't control themselves, as long as they use contraception.

Cynthia Meyer told her United Methodist Church congregation she felt “called by God to be open and honest” about who she is: “a woman who loves and shares her life with another woman.” Now, after being placed on involuntary leave of absence by the denomination, Meyer said she is able to do just that as interim pastor in the United Church of Christ. “To know that with all of those folks and in all settings I can be open and authentic and fully who I am is a really meaningful thing,” she said. While she keeps her credentials and can work for a church or church agency in any role a lay staff person can hold, she cannot perform the duties of an elder in the United Methodist Church while on leave.

The incident began after Soraiya Begum, a resident of Dera Ghazi Khan, in Punjab province, began talking to herself. Her unusual behavior led her husband to believe she had been possessed by 'djinns,' evil spirits described in Muslim mythology. In an effort to fix the situation, the man contacted people who claimed to be 'pirs,' a word used to describe Muslim saints or holy men. The men said the woman was in need of an exorcism. That ritual involved tying the woman to a tree and beating her with sticks before hanging her upside down and fanning her with smoke and heat, Geo TV reported. On seeing the brutality, Begum's husband tried to step in and stop the exorcism, although the pirs paid no attention to his pleas. Begum was pronounced dead upon arrival at a nearby hospital. https://www.rt.com/news/376864-woman-killed-pakistan-exorcism/ Sponge Bob Joins the Tele Tubbies Gay Parade: Imam claims Sponge Bob turns children gay Muslim Cleric preaches against western society and says Jews created Sponge Bob to turn children into Homosexuals. 2/8/2017 Watch the Video: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/224633 Drinking Poison in the Name of Jesus? 2 Corinthians 11:13-15: “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. and no wonder!

Montaigne noted that it is possible to look into such verses and explore what they might be saying about God's plans concerning Trump.

Really! Islamic Cleric: Muhammed Will Marry Virgin Mary in Heaven 26 Jan 2017 A leading Egyptian cleric irked his Christian compatriots when he said on television that the Islamic figure Muhammed would marry the Virgin Mary in heaven. Dr Salem Abdel Galil, a theologian at Cairo’s prestigious Al Azhar academy and a former director-general of the Ministry of Religions, said on his television program that “Allah, hallowed be his name, chose Mary of all the women, alongside Asiya, Pharaoh’s wife, Aisha and Khadijea, Prophet Muhammed’s wives, and Fatima, the Prophet’s daughter. There are verses in the Quran that suggest that in heaven Muhammed will marry the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus peace be upon him, as well as Asiya, Pharaoh’s wife and Kultum, the sister of Moses peace be upon him.” “The Quran said: ‘Allah will give [the Prophet] women preferable to his wives, Muslim, pious, pure women.'” One, he said, referred to Asiya and the other to Mary. http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2017/01/26/prophet-mohammed-will-marry-virgin-mary-islamic-cleric-says-raising-christians-ire/ 2 Timothy 3:6-9 : "For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth... but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all" Florida Pastor Forced to Flee Naked After Parishioner Finds Him in Bed with Wife Jan 23, 2017 The Rev. O. Jermaine Simmons Sr., pastor of the popular Jacob Chapel Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida, who recently authored a book focused on issues of godly manhood, was sent running for his life last Tuesday after one of his parishioners found him in bed with his wife. A report from the Tallahassee Police Department acquired by The Christian Post said Simmons, 37, who is married with one child according to his church's website, was caught in bed with Claynisha Stephens, 34, by the woman's husband, Benjamin Stephens III. Both Claynisha and Benjamin are his parishioners. Last Tuesday, she said, Simmons came over to the home she shares with her husband and their children so they could "talk over starting a business, patents and trademarks, and providing less fortunate kids with clothes and shoes." During the meeting, she said they started having sex. While they were engaged, her 6-year-old son's school was trying to get in touch with her to pick him up. Since she did not answer, the school reached out to the boy's father. Benjamin picked up their son and headed home only to discover his wife engaged with Simmons in their oldest daughter's bedroom. He reportedly screamed "I'm gonna kill him," and went to the couple's bedroom to retrieve a small handgun. On hearing the threat, the frightened pastor fled the couple's home naked without waiting to see what would happen. The enraged husband attempted to chase after the pastor but his wife stepped in front of him and begged him not to kill her lover in front of their son. http://www.christianpost.com/news/florida-pastor-forced-to-flee-naked-after-parishioner-finds-him-in-bed-with-wife-173358/ Astrology can tell you the Day of Yeshua: Rabbi Claims Jesus Christ Will Return in 2022, Bases His Prediction on Astronomy Jan 18, 2017 A rabbi in Israel is predicting that Jesus Christ might return in 2022 when astronomers foresee two large stars colliding and creating a light visible from Earth. Rabbi Yosef Berger of King David's Tomb in Mount Zion, Jerusalem, pointed to research by astronomers foreseeing that two stars in the Northern Cross, in the star system KIC 9832227, will collide in 2022, creating a blast so powerful that it will be visible to the naked eye from Earth. Berger told Breaking Israel News last week that the 12th century Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, known by the acronym Rambam, charted the appearance of such light as aligning with the return of Christ. "The Rambam brings this verse about a star appearing as proof that the Messiah will come one day," he explained. World renowned evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham has repeatedly warned against believing those who claim to know the date of Jesus' second coming, noting that human beings have no way of knowing when it will happen. "Jesus warned us against making precise predictions about His return; only God knows exactly when Christ will come again to bring an end to the present world system," Graham says. "Jesus did, however, say that the world would grow increasingly confused and dangerous before He returns. He declared, 'You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. ... Nation will rise against nation' (Matthew 24:6-7)." http://www.christianpost.com/news/rabbi-claims-jesus-christ-will-return-2022-bases-prediction-on-astronomy-173153/#IBMUBI8LcLuJMotQ.99 Holy Spirit said what?

Scotland: Anglican Cathedral Epiphany service features Qur’an reading denying Jesus is Son of God JANUARY 11, 2017 The Qur’an reading at the cathedral was apparently part or all of this: That last bit, “It is not for Allah to take a son,” is in direct contradiction to what the Anglican Church is supposed to believe: “And the angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35) The idea that Jesus is the Son of God is a central, foundational tenet of Christianity, held by all Christian sects, Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant. What kind of madness has overtaken the Anglicans in Glasgow that they would allow what is ostensibly a central belief of their faith to be denied in the place that is supposed to be the site of the purest and most vibrant expression of that faith? Clearly their religion is not Christianity in any form, but Leftist multiculturalism. What they will ultimately find, to their shock and horror, is that their Muslim partners in this multicultural endeavor have no intention of reciprocating their generosity and hospitality, but will ultimately only subjugate them under the hegemony of Islamic law.

Catholic Priest under Investigation for Organizing Orgies, 'Pimping Out' Women from Church Jan 3, 2017 A Roman Catholic priest from Italy is being investigated by police for organizing orgies in his rectory, and for pimping out 15 women, who were his lovers, at naturist and swingers' resorts in France. The Independent reports that 48-year-old Father Andrea Contin of the northern city of Padua in Veneto is being accused of organizing the orgies on the San Lazzaro church premises, some of which he recorded in pornographic home videos. Police seized such material from Contin's possession after three female parishioners came forward with complaints. The priest has not yet been arrested, but is being investigated by a prosecutor for sending some of the women who participated in the orgies to men on wife-swapping websites, along with taking others to the naturist and swinger resort in Cap d'Agde on the southern French coast. http://www.christianpost.com/news/catholic-priest-under-investigation-organizing-orgies-pimping-out-women-from-church-172511/#DjKw4MQDdiL3M0eT.99 Koran readings in "Christian" Churches? Christian Clergy Welcomes Islam in Church, Then Bows to It January 4, 2017 For the first time in more than 700 years, Islamic songs resonated in Florence's Cathedral, the Church Santa Maria del Fiore. Under the famous Dome of Brunelleschi, Islamic melodies accompanied Christian ones. The "interfaith initiative" was promoted a week after the barbaric massacre by Islamist terrorists in Paris at the magazine Charlie Hebdo, and included "Koran is Justice" and other such "hymns". Last July, for the first time during a Mass in Italy, a verse of the Koran was recited from the altar. A priest in the south of Italy enraged parishioners by dressing the Virgin Mary in a Muslim burqa for his church's Christmas Nativity scene. These interfaith initiatives are based on the gradual elimination of the Western-Christian heritage in favor of Islam. The Catholic clergy is probably disoriented by Pope Francis himself; he was the first to allow the reading of Islamic prayers and Koran readings from the Vatican. Church of England Bishop Harries suggested that Prince Charles's coronation service should be opened with a Koran reading. In the US, more than 50 churches, including the Washington National Cathedral, hold Koran readings.

Pastor Refuses to Step Down After Sex Tapes with Multiple Women Are Made Public Dec 29, 2016 Hosea Stubblefield, a 32-year-old recently divorced Baptist pastor from Houston, Texas, with a fetish for making sex tapes is refusing demands from members of his congregation to step down after he was outed for making sex tapes with multiple women, some allegedly from his church and during his failed marriage. In an interview with Fox 26, Stubblefield, who became pastor of Salem Missionary Baptist Church last summer, admitted that he made between five and 10 sex tapes over a 10-year period and made his last one just two years ago. The woman who outed him online, however, disputes his claim. She gave the impression that she saw many more than just 10 videos during her time with him and saw one dated as recently as November 2015, about five months, she said, after his divorce with his wife was finalized. "He gets up on Sundays and preach against EVERY sin he's committing in these videos. He is leading his congregation straight to Hell and they don't even know it. He's too arrogant to resign. I'm sure he will put on a show the next few Sundays, tears, repentance, and pure denial of his actions and the time-frame in which they occurred. I'm sure, as the pathological liar he is, he will find a way to spin these truths into him being the victim.

At least 45 people were treated for poisoning after drinking the moonshine in the town of Toba Tek Singh, Punjab province, about 195 miles south of Islamabad. “The maker and supplier of the toxic liquor is also included among the dead,” senior police official Bilal Kamyana told Reuters. “The maker prepared liquor at home and sold it in polythene bags for 500 rupees (about $5) each.” http://religionnews.com/2016/12/27/christmas-moonshine-kills-23-in-pakistan-town/ Beat them up into believing? Pastor, Son Arrested for Beating Boy in Church Because He Wanted to 'Test God,' Police Say December 22, 2016 A Minnesota pastor and his son allegedly beat a 12-year-old boy over the course of several days for rejecting his faith in a bid to "test God," and are now facing felony charges after the boy escaped the church and called for help. A criminal complaint filed on Tuesday against Pastor Dong Wook Kim, 51, of Good News Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and his 19-year-old son, Joo Seong Kim, charges the father and son duo each with two counts of assault in the second and third degree, and one count of malicious punishment of a child. All the charges are felonies. The Minneapolis Police Department received a call from a resident last Saturday who told police that she was shoveling snow at her home when she saw the boy running through the snow toward her. As he approached her yard he yelled "help me."He was dressed in only a pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt in sub-zero temperature. She told police that she took the limping boy into her home where he showed her injuries he received during four days of beatings in the basement of the Good News Church. Police reported that the boy had what appeared to be a black eye and a healing busted lip, bruising on both arms, whip marks, healing scabs on his back, bruising on his buttocks and thighs, "one of which was the approximate size of a football." He was taken to a local hospital for treatment where he told police that his 4-year-old sister had also suffered abuse at the hands of the pastor in the past. http://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-son-arrested-for-beating-boy-in-church-because-he-wanted-to-test-god-police-say-172310/#rkZtwKIQdCOKVO4R.99 What do Muslms say about what Jesus said about himself?

Someone who knows how to give the evil eye should be brought over and should be told to give him the evil eye. This points to the sanctity of the blood of a Muslim. The only exception is when a man kills in a method that is haram. If he makes the victim drink alcohol or take drugs until he dies, he is executed by the sword, not by using a method that is haram. But in all other cases, if he cuts off the victim's nose or ear, for example - the same is done to him." https://www.memri.org/tv/saudi-imam-zayd-al-bahris-execution-tips-eye-eye-evil-eye-evil-eye We call it child molestation here in America! Muhammad and Today’s Child Brides Only Islam offers such high-level scriptural endorsement, prophetic example and legislative justification for the arranged marriages of young girls and much older men. “There is a tsunami of young girls, some as young as nine, who are being taken overseas and being forced to become child brides … The imams in the Muslim community need to speak up more, and indeed any other religious leaders in communities who might pursue this practice.” Muslims Australia president Kaiser Trad claimed to be shocked by the reports, asserting that “one of the conditions for a marriage to be valid under Islamic teachings is consent. For anybody to force a young lady or a young man into a marriage against their will is wrong.” He was not quote as condemning child marriage per se. A study of Muslim texts reveals that it was practised in the early Islamic period, even by the prophet Muhammad himself. His third wife, Aisha, was daughter of his best friend Abu Bakr. The marriage took place when she was six years old and was consummated when Aisha turned nine. Multiple texts in authentic hadiths (authoritative traditions) attest to these ages. Informants include Aisha herself, Hisham’s father, and Ursa. Aisha reported: “He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old.” She also noted: “The Messenger of Allah married me when I was six, and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine, and I used to play with dolls.” Apparently Aisha had not yet reached puberty. Al-Asqalani’s celebrated commentary on al-Bukhari’s hadith makes this comment about Aisha’s childhood amusement: “The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for `Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty. (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13) Another Hadith describes her sitting in the mosque with Muhammad as “a little girl (who has not reached the age of puberty).” (Sahih al-Bukhari 7:163) http://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2016/11/muhammad-todays-child-brides/ Islam men and women admire them: Celestial Concubines — Muslim Men Die for Them, Muslim Women Envy Them NOVEMBER 25, 2016 Last month, when the battle for Mosul began, Islamic State “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reportedly promised four extra Houris (supernatural, celestial women designed for sexual purposes)—atop the other 72 promised by prophet Muhammad—to all jihadis who die (are “martyred”) fighting the infidel forces, according to Arabic media accounts. Al-Baghdadi did this during an extra “fiery sermon” wherein he recounted 15 hadiths and three stories dealing with the Houris in the context of the original Muslim conquest of Mosul, circa. 637, at the hands of Muhammad’s companions (the sahahba). After promising his followers that “blood will run like rivers in the [forthcoming] battle,” al- Baghdadi declared: “All, without exception, will enter paradise as martyrs. Moreover, you will enter paradise with four more Houris than other martyrs. For just as you stand by me now, so will they stand by you, or under you, or above you, so that you might forget what will happen to you by way of violence, death, and degradation in this war.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/11/raymond-ibrahim-islams-celestial-concubines-muslim-men-die-for-them-muslim-women-envy-them Matthew 24:11 : “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.” Tanzania: Woman Dies Naked At 'Prophet's Feet November 21, 2016 Arusha-based woman, Lightness Daudi, died mysteriously at the feet of a self-proclaimed 'prophet of god,' in the populous Kwa-Mrombo area in the city. The late Lightness, according to her younger sister, Juliana, was taken to prophet Rajab for prayers, but while the spiritualist was busy administering the miracle healing, Lightness collapsed and died at the clairvoyant's feet. The lady was clean shaven, featured horrid bruises on her arms and hands and looked like she was tortured before dying. The uncle of the deceased, Mr Ally Kivuyo, said: "My in-law followed me at night, informing me that Lightness had died while at hospital but when reports came that she died in the hands of the 'prophet,' I contacted the police who came to arrest the culprits." The family said Lightness was not even sick, wondering how comes she ended up dying in the prophet house, naked. http://allafrica.com/stories/201611210807.html DOOM PASTOR: I AM ALREADY ARRESTED IN CHRIST November 21, 2016 A Limpopo pastor, who has caused outrage for using Doom insect killer to cure his congregants of illnesses, says he is not afraid of being arrested.

Pope Francis to Followers: “Koran And Holy Bible Are The Same” On Monday the Bishop Of Rome addressed Catholic followers regarding the dire importance of exhibiting religious tolerance. During his hour-long speech, a smiling Pope Francis was quoted telling the Vatican’s guests that the Koran, and the spiritual teachings contained therein, are just as valid as the Holy Bible. “Jesus Christ, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each other’s beliefs, for we are all children of God”. http://nationalreport.net/pope-francis-followers-koran-holy-bible/ Atheist Pastor? United Church of Canada Minister Requests Defrocking Over Possible Firing of Atheist Clergywoman Novemver 4, 2016 A retired clergywoman of the United Church of Canada has requested to be removed from the denomination's list of clergy over the Church's treatment of an openly atheist minister. The denomination is in the process of possibly removing Gretta Vosper of West Hill United Church from her position as a minister due to her being an avowed atheist. The lead pastor of West Hill United Church of Toronto, Ontario, in 2001 Vosper told her congregation that she was religiously skeptical and in 2013 officially came out as an atheist. As a result, West Hill changed it order of worship, opting to remove the Lord's Prayer and most Bible reading from their services.

Little Girl Getting “Holy Ghost”? Where do you find this type of manipulation in the Bible? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3lTPtaDSDQ This is known as child molestation in Christianity: Imam says 50-year-old man marrying 9-year-old girl is “legitimate” in Islam Oct 31, 2016 According to two hadiths in Bukhari about 54-year-old Muhammad and 9-year-old Aisha: “It is reported from Aisha that she said: The Prophet entered into marriage with me when I was a girl of six … and at the time [of joining his household] I was a girl of nine years of age. Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed [alone] for two years or so. He married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.” Debates and heated arguments are ongoing about what age Aisha was when Muhammad actually consummated his marriage with her, but it is plain from these hadith, the earliest and most reliable available sources, that it is mainstream belief in Islam to hold that Muhammad did marry Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine. Many Muslims invoke Muhammad’s example to justify raping children as a religious right, but Westerners are terrified to discuss these facts and their implications. To try to justify this or explain it away does no good to the female victims of incalculable human rights abuses that are justified under an Islamic banner. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/10/canada-imam-says-50-year-old-man-marrying-9-year-old-girl-is-legitimate-in-islam Say What? Halloween Is Christians' Day, Not the Devil's, Says Desiring God Author October 31, 2016 Is Halloween a pagan holiday? David Mathis, executive editor for desiringGod.org, says it's "not the devil's day, but ours," explaining why he believes so and sharing five truths about who we are in Christ, which, he suggests, should be our focus during "All Hallows' Eve." Halloween, a contraction of All Hallows' Evening, may have been an "annual commemoration of the seemingly super-holy, the Roman 'saints," writes Mathis. "But under God's kind providence, a monk named Martin came to our rescue when he went trick-or-treating on Oct. 31, 1517, at the church door in Wittenberg. Halloween is a striking foil — for teaching our kids, and reminding ourselves — of who we are in Christ," he writes, and then shares five truths about who we are in Christ. Kirk Cameron urged Christians to host Halloween parties to possibly spread the Word of God. "You should have the biggest party on your block, and you should have the reason for everyone to come to your house, and before anyone else's house, because yours is the most fun," he told The Christian Post. http://www.christianpost.com/news/halloween-is-christians-day-not-the-devils-says-desiringgod-author-171199/#cxLubeo4Vy0lQ2qS.99 Northwestern University prof: Christian fundamentalism more dangerous than Islamic terrorism OCTOBER 29, 2016 Some people’s balloon never lands, and Catherine M. Wallace is one of them. “If [anything Islamic] wanted to attack an American city, they had to hijack an airliner. If they want to blow up a concert, they need to put bombs on their own children and send young men in to kill themselves…that kind of radicalism [Christian fundamentalism] in control of nuclear codes was a much, much greater threat.” Wallace apparently believes that George W. Bush, because he called the war on terror a “Crusade” once, doubtless without being aware of the historical implications of the term, and a few times spoke about it in terms of a divine calling, was equivalent to a worldwide army of Islamic jihadists who justify their actions and make recruits among peaceful Muslims by pointing to Islamic texts and teachings. This is as absurd as it is myopic. There have been nearly 30,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11, all committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings. Until we see people blowing themselves and others up while screaming “Jesus is Lord,” there is no actual equivalence to that on the Christian side. For Catherine M. Wallace, faculty member at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine and author of the recently concluded book series Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination, the Christian fundamentalist movement in the United States is more dangerous than Islamic terrorism. Wallace, a Christian herself, believes fundamentalist access to United States armaments is the number one threat to state security. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/10/northwestern-university-prof-christian-fundamentalism-more-dangerous-than-islamic-terrorism Gay Mormom OK... Retooled LDS website says people can be ‘Mormon and gay’ — but they need to stay celibate October 25, 2016 1. It’s part of lds.org. “Relaunched?” you ask. “Don’t you mean ‘launched’?” No, relaunched is correct, because the Church actually has hosted such a website since 2012. It aimed to promote “greater sensitivity and better understanding” about lesbian and gay members. 2. You can be both “Mormon and gay.” The site has a significant name change: mormonandgay.lds.org rather than mormonsandgays.org. What a difference it makes to remove two small letters: Instead of pitting “Mormons and gays” against one another as if there were no overlap between those groups, the revamped site stakes a claim that these identities don’t have to be mutually exclusive. You can be Mormon and gay. Moreover, the site makes clear, your core identity isn’t either of those things: it is as a child of God.

Satanism is something that can co-exist with being a Jew' At a former funeral home in a town inextricably linked to witchcraft, secular Jew Malcolm Jarry opens a new heaquarters for his Satanic Temple, a controversial movement with up to 50,000 members worldwide October 26, 2016 Just in time for Halloween, a controversial Satanic temple has set up its international headquarters in Massachusetts’ beloved Salem. The temple houses an art gallery in honor of Baphomet, a “sabbatic goat” representing the universe. Behind the two-story building, an eight-foot tall statue of Baphomet sits in a plain shed, where visitors can pay to view it. With up to 50,000 members in chapters around the world, TST has garnered colossal media attention in the last three years. Chief among Jarry’s causes are marriage equality and women’s reproductive freedom. Any issue related to the government using religion to restrict individual freedom is also likely to engage temple leaders, some of whom staged a 2014 “Black Mass” at Harvard University to push the envelope on religious freedom.

(Davis had converted to Judaism in 1961.) As the “sigil” for his movement, LaVey adopted an inverted pentacle surrounded by the Hebrew letters for Leviathan, a sea monster featured in the Old Testament. From the center of the pentacle glares the half-human, half-animal Baphomet, both female and male, intending to symbolize the harmony of the universe. http://www.timesofisrael.com/in-haunted-salem-a-jewish-church-founder-preaches-the-art-of-satanic-social-change/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=c9829d4aef-2016_10_27&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-c9829d4aef-54606857 After new mom's death, Jehovah's Witnesses take heat October 24, 2016 Jehovah's Witnesses are defending their ban on blood transfusions after the death of a new mom in Quebec this month. Family members of Eloise Dupuis, 27, say she was influenced to decline a potentially lifesaving blood transfusion after a bedside visit by a "hospital liaison committee" of Jehovah's Witnesses, the CBC reports. Dupuis, a practicing member of the church, died Oct. 12 after suffering a hemorrhage six days after giving birth by C-section. (Her baby is doing fine.) A Quebec coroner opened an inquest, but Health Minister Gaetan Barrette said Dupuis made the choice on her own. "She knew, and she made it clear, that if something was to happen, because of her religion she didn't want any transfusion," he told the CBC.

Officials at the controversial church identified as the New Creation Church, in Hillsboro, Oregon, initially had the "Worship Team Guidelines" posted on their website but removed it after it began receiving unwanted attention. A copy of the guidelines, however, was made available elsewhere and it details the ban on "excessive weight" among worship team members along with a number of other typical holiness requirements common to Pentecostal churches, like evidence of speaking in other tongues. The document, which was first posted to a Facebook page called Stuff Christian Culture Likes, further adds: "If you do not meet the standards set forth in these guidelines, you will disqualify yourself as a part of the Worship Team."

It is also home to millions of dead bodies. Locals believe the sacred river has healing powers and by bathing in the Ganges, a person's sins can be washed away. But it is also a place to die. Hindus believe that dying along the banks of the Ganges releases the soul from the cycle of rebirth. People often release deceased family members in the river. Every single day, over 300 bodies are cremated and tossed into the banks of Ganges. Manikarnika Ghat, located in Varanasi, is the primary place to perform cremation ceremonies. The flames of Manikarnika Ghat have been burning for over thousands of years. As the body burns, last rituals are performed. A water-filled pot is thrown into the air.

Bromleigh McCleneghan, a married mother of three and associate pastor for ministry with families at Union Church of Hinsdale in Illinois, says single Christians can have sex as long as it's "mutually pleasurable and affirming." Citing 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, many Mainline Protestant and evangelical churches like the Assemblies of God Church, advise against sexual relations among single Christians. "Today within our society singles exist for one of two reasons — by choice, or by circumstance. In either case the Bible's mandate is clear for all unmarried individuals: they are to remain sexually pure (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)," the Assemblies of God church warned. For McCleneghan, however, whose views are comprehensively captured in her new book, Good Christian Sex: Why Chastity Isn't the Only Option — And Other Things the Bible Says About Sex, single Christians don't need to abstain from sex to remain pure since being chaste is about moderation. McCleneghan believes it's unfair to ask single Christians who haven't been called to a life of celibacy to refrain from sexual intimacy when both men and women need sex. "Plenty of women and men love sex, and need it — we need bodily pleasure, remember — and the abundant life for them will involve seeking out relationships of mutual pleasure. Chastity, or just sex, requires that whether we are married or unmarried, our sex lives restrain our egos, restrain our desire for physical pleasure when pursuing it would bring harm to self or other," she added.

Among what the issue states is that Jesus was never crucified, and that Paul was a “criminal, treacherous Jew” . As shocking as the declaration of the slavery of Jesus to Allah may come, the Islamic State is basing its “claim” that Jesus was a “slave to Allah” on Islamic scripture. Qur’an 19:30 states of Jesus’ words: “Lo! I am the slave” of Allah, in the Pickthall translation. Other translations state that Jesus declared himself a “servant” of Allah. The Pickthall translation is the work of Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, who was a British convert to Islam Islamic scholar noted for this English translation of the Qur’an.

Mohammad Karim, said to be aged around 60, was held in central Ghor province as he claimed her parents gave him the girl as a "religious offering", officials said. "Karim has been jailed and our investigation is ongoing," said Abdul Hai Khatibi, the governor's spokesman. The arrest comes just days after a 14-year-old pregnant girl was burned to death in Ghor, in a case that sparked shockwaves in Afghanistan. The family of that girl, Zahra, said she was tortured and set alight by her husband's family. But relatives of the teenager's husband insisted her death was by self-immolation.

The Very Reverend Denis Stanley, Episcopal Vicar for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations for the Melbourne Archdiocese, wrote: “The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne would like to extend its best wishes to the Muslim community in Victoria and Australia on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, the Feast of the Breaking of the Fast, celebrated at the end of the sacred month of Ramadan. The Holy Qur’an was first revealed in the month of Ramadan and had a special purpose: “And We sent down of the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the believers…” (Qur’an 17:82). The Prophet Muhammad was also sent as an instrument of God’s mercy: “And We have not sent you (O Muhammad) except as a mercy to the worlds.” (Qur’an 21:107). Note that Stanley doesn’t write that Muslims believe that the Qur’an was revealed, or that Muhammad was sent as an instrument of God’s mercy. He states these elements of Islamic belief as if they were universally accepted facts.

That’s according to at least one scholar who studied the Quran’s original text and found the word that’s been commonly translated to mean “virgin” in times of late actually means “raisin.” The revelation came to light during a recent showing of CNN’s “Why They Hate Us” special with host Fareed Zakaria aimed at trying to discern just why radical Islamists seek to bomb, kill and destroy those in the West, including Americans. http://www.wnd.com/2016/05/quran-scholar-martyrs-get-raisins-not-virgins/#KFrf5hgzFXgFO4Zf.99 Controversial 'Snake Pastor' Drives Car over Congregants to Show 'Power of God' June 8, 2016 A controversial South African pastor who received backlash last year for feeding his congregants snakes and rats as a test of their faith has contrived a new way of "demonstrating the power of God" — by driving over people with a car. Pastor Penuel Mnguni of the End Times Disciples Ministries in Soshanguve was featured in a series of photos posted to the ministry's Facebook page, which purport to show the self-proclaimed prophet conducting a "demonstration of power" by driving his car on top of sleeping congregants. The pictures, which were supposedly taken on Friday night, show Mnguni in a blue car as he drives over cardboard placed on top of the "sleeping" congregants. The post claims that Mnguni then commanded the congregants to wake up while the car was on top of their bodies. "He then asked them if they felt any pain," the post explains. "And their response was 'We do not feel anything."After the pastor reversed the car and backed off the congregants, the post claims that the congregants began dancing and praising God along with other congregants who witnessed the ordeal. "No religion should belittle people and undermine people's dignity," the commission's deputy chairman David Mosoma said, according to ENCA. "It is unacceptable behaviour to feed the congregation rats, snakes and hair as Mnguni has done before. His actions contravene the Bill of Rights." http://www.christianpost.com/news/controversial-snake-pastor-drives-car-over-congregants-to-show-power-of-god-164967/#FlxCTSW76OmZCZGg.99 This Hindu Couple’s Remarkable Love Story Will Give You All the Feels The universe had to do a lot of conspiring to bring these two together. 06/03/2016 McCane, 28, was raised as a Protestant Christian. He was exposed to Hindu philosophy and scripture during visits to India. One of the things that drew him to Hinduism was how its scriptures have a history of accepting gender fluidity. Although politically and culturally, LGBT rights in India have a long way to go, ancient Hindu scriptures tell stories of gods who changed genders, gods who cross dressed, gods who were born from two males or two females, and gods who are of a “third sex.” Christian theology didn’t seem to have a place for him. But Hinduism did. “For me, Christianity felt alienating .... especially living in a conservative area, it was very hard for me to connect with it,” McCane told The Huffington Post. “But the gender fluidity [in Hinduism] was absolutely wonderful and that really hit a note with me.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/this-hindu-couples-remarkable-love-story-will-give-you-all-the-feels_us_57506318e4b0ed593f138e57?cps=gravity_4318_-2364751478621599363 This Pakistani Father of 35 Now Aims For 100 Children June 03, 2016 A Pakistani father of 35 is now searching for a fourth wife as he romps towards his goal of 100 children, a dubious ambition in the conservative Muslim country where polygamy is rare but still practiced.

What does this say about the state of the Church in America today? Well, during an I Love New York celebration at a recent women's conference hosted by Hillsong in New York City, a Hillsong youth pastor was onstage, dressed up as the Naked Cowboy, meaning that he too was wearing nothing but a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, briefs, and a guitar. But hey, after all, what's wrong with that? We don't want to get religious now, do we? What's wrong with a youth pastor standing onstage in his underwear during a women's conference? (Sarcasm fully intended.) I guess I'm just being "religious" again, thinking somehow that a deeply devoted gospel minister would not want to show up in a church service in his underwear any more than he would want to perform on a street corner in his underwear.” http://www.christianpost.com/news/hillsong-youth-pastor-dresses-as-naked-cowboy-164672/#h9BqKypDhgICHYPl.99 Where have we witnessed this?

John Chalmers, principal clerk to the general assembly, was quoted as saying. "It is an entirely different discussion." Chalmers added, "Today's decision means it will be possible for Kirk sessions and congregations to depart from the traditional understanding of marriage to call not only potentially a minister in a civil partnership but one who is in a same-sex marriage." The proposal to approve the appointment of gay ministers in civil partnerships was made in the last year's general assembly. The Church of Scotland's decision could influence the Church of England, according to some clergy. The Rev. Christina Beardsley, a member of The Sibyls, a Christian spirituality group for transgender people, suggested that churches in England should use the same model. http://www.christianpost.com/news/church-of-scotland-votes-allow-ministers-same-sex-marriages-164390/#v3M835r6rMuxxlMz.99 Pastor Daniel Lesego , Rabboni Centere, South Africa is way out there and so are the ones who follow him! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJkCZ9LO5Xc SHOCKING !!!

We as far as Almighty forces are concerned have escaped bias, since we will have to answer for it. The meaning of the headline can be understood as follows: a woman is either at a high level, the middle one or the lowest. Unfortunately, many have interpreted the title of low-level understanding of a woman who is our mother, wife, sister or daughter… the title did not dare to underestimate the role of women.” http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20160302/1035672485/woman-arab-public-protest.html#ixzz42BRHsueE 72 Virgins in Heaven: Fact or Fiction? March 6. 2016 Are there 72 virgins in heaven? Is the male martyr waiting for Persian-eyed, fair skinned women? Can it be true? I’ve done my research and consulted with Islamic scholars. The 72 virgins in Heaven is a myth. Thus, Muslims struggle daily to do good and forbid evil. This constant struggle of good versus bad is universal and not unique to Islam. For radicals, the concept of jihad is narrowly defined–terrorists use the word “jihad” to mean an all-out-war against the so-called enemies of Islam. From the word “jihad” is the concept of martyrdom. In Islam, a martyr is one who bears witness to events (specifically, sacrifice and struggle). In the modern-day world of terrorism, men believe they will enter Paradise if they commit suicide terrorism. Among the rewards of Heaven are 72 virgins. However, there are no 72 virgins in Paradise. Heaven in the Islamic faith does not include 72 wide-eyed sex goddesses. The number ‘72’ does not appear anywhere in the Quran. Nor does the word “suicide” (intihar in Arabic) appear, which is a word used interchangeably with martyrdom. The confusion that exists arises over one oral tradition by Imam Tirmidhi. He cleverly crafted the “72 virgins” that has now become instilled in the minds of radicalized and misinformed Muslim men. The real tragedy is that so few scholars have accepted that this controversy exists or have failed to challenge the misinterpreted verse “of the 72 virgins” in the Quran. http://www.jewsnews.co.il/2016/03/06/72-virgins-in-heaven-fact-or-fiction/ Saudi Cleric Sa'd Al-Ateeq: Pictures Posted on Social Media May Cause Cancer in Children March 1, 2016 Saudi cleric Sheikh Sa’d Al-Ateeq said in his fatwa show on the Saudi Ahwaz TV channel that when people post pictures of themselves and their children on social media platforms, they risk becoming afflicted with diseases, including cancer. Sheikh Al-Ateeq warned that people might print these pictures and apply sorcery to them, causing those photographed to fall ill. http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5351.htm The Strange Doctrine: It is a widely held conception of modern “Christianity” that Jesus set aside the laws and commandments of God—including those which prohibit certain meats as “unclean.” An incident recorded in Mark chapter seven is often used as a proof-text for such a view. In this case, Jesus’ disciples were criticized by the Jewish leadership for eating without first washing their hands. This dispute had nothing to do with clean and unclean meats. Rather, it revolved around Jewish traditional of ritual purity, such as ceremonial hand washing. God made the Pig...He said "no" to eating it. Look at these facts: 13 Health Problems with Pork That God has Prevented When He Banned It for the Jews FEB 13, 2016 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat. 5) Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons. 6) Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom. 7) When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal’s flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms. 8) Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts, and eggs will be killed. 9) Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat. 10) Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine’s one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh. 11) The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcass (Leviticus 11:8). 12) The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism. 13) The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.. http://jewfacts.com/13-health-problems-pork-g-d-prevented-banned-jews/ Why some African governments are clamping down on churches 7 February 2016 Some governments and organizations in Africa are starting to think churches should be held accountable to a being other than God. Of concern to many with interests in the Christian faith are the "prophet of God" or "man of God" churches. These are led by self-proclaimed prophets or messengers who are believed by their millions of devoted followers to have the power to perform a range of miracles from healing the sick, curing Aids and even raising the dead. But who dares take on these seemingly untouchable men? The government there says the move is aimed at stamping out bogus churches. "They are thieves and not preachers. We have to consult and know how to remove them," the president is quoted as saying by Kenyan newspaper Daily Nation. In South Africa, two churches - Rabboni Ministries and End Times Disciples Ministries - made headlines here when the churches posted images of their leaders feeding followers snakes and rats, or instructing congregants to drink petrol and eat grass. The images caused a nationwide outcry. At the time, the man dubbed the "snake pastor" by local media, Prophet Penuel Mnguni, said he was "doing God's work and didn't need to explain God's ways to people". http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35362567 Happy Hour at Church (What’s the Point- with No Jesus??) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0FJB3wiUSs Ecstatic Christianity -Living in the Anointing?

Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not “Three” – Cease! (it is) better for you! – Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” — Qur’an 4:171 Jesus was not crucified: “And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157 Christians who do not accepted Muhammad and the Qur’an are the most vile of created beings: “Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion. Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” — Qur’an 98:6 The person holding this sign has thought any of this through. She is just trying to be nice.

'7 Bible Quotes In Support Of Same Sex Relationships' Released By Arielle Scarcella And Matthew Vines 06/03/2014 In "7 Bible Quotes In Support Of Same Sex Relationships," Scarcella is joined by openly gay and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activist Matthew Vines for some expert perspective. Vines, who recently released his book God and the Gay Christian, is perhaps best known for the viral YouTube video "The Gay Debate: The Bible and Homosexuality." "Sexual orientation is a pretty new concept," Vines notes in the above video. "Christians in the past tended to see same-sex behavior as a vice of excess like gluttony or drunkenness, not as a sexual orientation that can be expressed in loving, committed ways. So, Christians don't have to reject their faith's tradition in order to accept same-sex relationships. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/03/bible-quotes-arielle-scarcella_n_5439037.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular Bullying In the Spirit? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdUIqKJyD0Q Cigarette Ministry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdCXqFJLcU4 Pathetic Preacher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTfpR5HDzoc Bless Me, God Bless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO87c89oW3E Preaching the Gospel??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRP5xIeqBB8
