Chuck Smith: End Times Means Bright Outlook for Christian Church

(The Christian Post) CHINO HILLS, Calif. – Calvary Chapel movement founder Chuck Smith closed out the 2012 SoCal Prophecy Conference at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Sunday with a message of "blessed hope" for Christians during the end times. More than 8,000 people attended the three-day conference held at the church that included several speakers addressing the difficult objections and misconceptions associated with the end times.

Bill Gates: Dystopian Philanthropy and Neo-eugenics

Bill Gates seems like Mr. Softy with his big smile, kind face and gentle demeanor. And so a lot of people were surprised when he advocated the use of "death panels" to help US hospitals kill elderly people with euthanasia measures in order to save money.[1] The comment, made on July 8, 2010 at the Aspen Ideas Festival, was based on an 'end justifies the means' type of rationale, wherein money saved by euthanasia could be used to help pay teacher salaries. While Dr. Mengele and Dr. Kavorkian would probably be proud of Mr. Gates, the rest of us should probably try to keep abreast of what he's up to. When you examine the types of projects Gates is involved in, frankly, it's scary. From agriculture to vaccines, Gates' activities have earned him the nickname of Mr. Micro Softkill, along with a Facebook page for the namesake.[2]

Gates and Rockefeller Cafeterias Reject Monsanto GE Foods!

Monsanto employees are on their heels this month attempting to stave off negative press arising from a recirculation of the 1999 story of how Monsanto genetically modified foods were banned from their very own factory cafeteria in Britain (since closed down due to protests). The original story gives referenced quotes with named sources but the Monsanto blog says the story "wasn't true". No explanation is offered by Monsanto regarding sourced quotes, such as this one: "In a notice in the canteen, Sutcliffe Catering, owned by the Granada Group, said it had taken the decision "to remove, as far as practicable, GM soya and maize from all food products served in our restaurant. We have taken the above steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in the food we serve."[1]  When you consider the truth of what people eat at Monsanto, the Gates Foundation and Rockefeller University cafeterias, along with the activities of their founders, the denial antics are recognized to be nothing more than a thinly veiled hypocrisy which points to much more serious issues.

How Richard Dawkins' Evolution Justifies Racism and Genocide

When people make statements about truth, religion and morality, it's fairly easy to understand the foundational basis of their worldview and what it implies. At my Templestream Blogger blog there has been a longstanding question and debate as to whether or not the theory of evolution may be used to rationalize and justify racism and Nazism. Our debate began when I had pointed out that Richard Dawkins had apparently flip flopped on his opinion regarding the influences of the theory of evolution regarding these themes.[1] I do not offer that the theory of evolution in and of itself justifies anything. However, when this theory is combined with moral relativism, and the kind of anti-religious atheism that Richard Dawkins embraces, then not only may racism be rationalized, but racist genocide may be rationalized as well. The purpose of this article is not to imply that Richard Dawkins is personally a racist who believes in racial genocide, but, rather, to outline how anti-religious atheism and the theory of evolution may be used together to rationalize and justify these types of opinions and acts. The rationalization of extreme genocide has been demonstrated in the past and, unfortunately, there are many signs that softkill eugenics techniques are on the rise and genocides of unprecedented proportions will occur in the future.

How Dawkins Reinvents Darwin

Richard Dawkins' basic attitude towards On the Origin of Species seems to be, 'It's a groundbreaking and immensity important book ...but, well, the introduction and conclusion should be completely ignored!" If you attended a secular school and experienced a secular higher education, you probably don't know what is in the introduction and conclusion. If your education was basically secular, you probably never heard that Darwin was not an atheist and he believed the origin of life most likely had a divine origin.

What is striking is that Richard Dawkins in his book, The God Delusion, denies basic knowledge of Darwin's beliefs on these subjects. Why is this striking? Because Dawkins has labelled his professional career position as an "evolutionary biologist" and it would seem likely that at some point Dawkins probably read The Origin of Species. It may be that Dawkins may be in a state of denial and he does not realize what he has read. By comparing Darwins' actually writings with Dawkins' statements about Darwin, it's possible to examine the discrepancies and offer possible reasons for them.

Model Kylie Bisutti Quits Victoria’s Secret for Sacred Sex

At first glance this post may not seem very deep. Modelling and alluring undergarments usually don't conjure up muses on the meaning of life. But this story is truly an exception. What do paparacci and philosophy have in common? Where do sexy body lines and sacred boundary lines cross? When you get to the heart of this story, you'll understand why Kylie Bisutti's convictions and statements about what is sacred are quite profound and help to inform such diverse topics as premarital sex, abortion and waterboarding.

For a brief background, former Victoria’s Secret model Kylie Bisutti had beaten out over 10,000 other beauty contestants to become a Victoria's Secret model. However, after doing the modelling circuit for a year with VS, she decided her work went against her convictions. In a video interview Bisutti explains why she has chosen  faith and fidelity over fame and fortune, to do what is most honoring to her Lord and to her husband as well:[1]:

Question Evolution Day is February 12th

The following brief videoclip outlines the growing movement of solidarity between people interested in discussing the actual facts of evolutionary theory as a means of addressing the censorship, lies and propaganda that so often characterize the secular humanist approach to the subject in academia today:



Instead of debating the issues in academia, hegemony and censorship are used to deny an open debate on the subject of evolution. When actually pressed on the issues, top atheist personalities will fold under and just start making untrue claims:

An Open Reply to Alex Botten and Jim Gardner

Alex Botten

In case you aren't familiar with them, Alex Botten and Jim Gardner are co-hosts of an atheist Podcast entitled Fundamentally Flawed, the name of which seems quite appropriate. In Alex's post, "The Rick Warden Challenge", he stated, "In short, we accept your challenge. When are you available?"[1] Thanks, Alex, my debate with Jim Gardner was fruitful. Actually, not just my debate with Jim, but my many documented experiences with Fundamentally Flawed, and some experiences by others as well, have been most fruitful in helping to display the truth of the scriptures.

Vilenkin's Math Supports Creation Model of Universe

Ukrainian-born cosmologist Alexander Vilenkin has continued to refine mathematical  formulas that basically imply the universe had a beginning. As I've searched the Internet, I haven't found one mainstream news source covering the deeper implications of this news. The mainstream media somehow does not consider this interesting. But, at least New Scientist is willing to address some possible implications, referring to it as the "The Genesis Problem".[1] It  may be that mainstream news is so committed to the secular humanist worldview that any discoveries that imply the creation model may be true are simply are unacceptable.

Blog's Most Encouraging News and Posts of 2011

With so much uncertainty and negative news in the world today, it's important to take time to focus on uplifting news as well as critical news. The following five stories highlight positive Christian news posted at this blog in 2011:

1. In August 2011, researchers affirmed the serious negative health effects of bitterness. This news helped confirm the previously reported powerful health effects of forgiveness, which in turn helps to confirm the truth of the gospel. The beauty and challenge of forgiveness are highlighted in the Christmas message, article linked.

2. A scientific study published November 23 highlighted how thankfulness leads to significant increases in health and happiness. This discovery runs counter to the evolutionary paradigm and helps support an evidential proof of God's existence, linked.

Top Uncensored News: One and Ten Year Review

Obama Signs NDAA on New Year's Eve: Welcome to Prison Fellowship!

Ron Paul's son, Senator Rand Paul, outlined how the NDAA 'Bill of Wrongs' helps destroy the Bill of Rights. Upon becoming President, Barack Obama had sworn to uphold the US Constitution. There are actual pictures and everything. However, on December 31, Obama officially signed a bill effectively nullifying most of the important constitutional rights of US citizens.[1] So, as free citizens were enjoying the holidays with friends and family, or simply working hard to make ends meet, didn't something extremely serious just occur? Technically speaking, didn't Obama, our president, and our government we've entrusted to 'serve the people' just commit a serious act of tyranny or treason? What is the difference between tyranny and treason?

Ron Paul on Israel

Because Ron Paul holds an isolationist foreign policy, many of his political opponents are attempting to smear his campaign by spreading news that he is anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. Paul's actions and words, however, say otherwise. Paul supports of Israel's rights and the rights of all countries. And Paul is held in high esteem by Jews in America and in Israel as well. The following links confirm this:

Why Christians Oppose Torture and the NDAA

A majority of US senators, both Republicans and Democrats, have passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which is now just waiting for the blessing of the President before it becomes law. The bill is considered such an affront to civil liberties that the state of Montana is taking measures to recall the two senators who voted to support the law.[1] According to Jonathan Turley, the NDAA gives the US president the authority to indefinitely detain and kill US citizens on US soil without any legal trial.[2] The law also authorizes additional secret torture measures. Turley is one of the top ten most cited law professors in the US and one of the top ten military lawyers as well, so his opinion carries weight.[3] If US citizens find themselves subjectively defined as terrorist threats or terrorist sympathizers, then they lose all their rights under the Constitution. This is, of course, a civil-rights outrage. Even Snopes, which tends to be highly skeptical of news, has not denied what the essence of this law implies by giving the story a "Mixture" rating.[4] I'd like to outline why Christian organizations, such as the Rutherford Institute, are on-target in condemning waterboarding as illegal torture, and why all of us as Christians should be opposed to grievous civil-rights abuses.

Christmas: The Beauty and Challenge of Forgiveness

Rembrandt - Adoration of the Magi

Forgiveness is an incredibly idiosyncratic phenomenon. It is called both a science and an art. It relates to psychology, philosophy and religion. It formed one of the central themes of one of the most famous artists, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. And, as a key aspect of redemption, forgiveness is central to the Christmas celebration. For both Christians and atheists the subjects of Christmas redemption and forgiveness offer unique challenges and opportunities. As we peer into this subject we can ask, "What does the phenomenon of forgiveness tell us about the nature of the universe?"

A Good Example of Staying on the Right Path

A Russian commenter at my blog recently stated, "No one gets to run and win who will not play the game", referring to Ron Paul's run for the office of the US presidency.  People in former Soviet countries don't realize that government without deep-seated corruption is possible, though rare, as was exemplified historically in the life of Abraham Lincoln, also known as "Honest Abe." Today, testimonies about Ron Paul's life echo Lincoln's life-long testimony of honesty and integrity, as outlined in the embedded video: "Ron did not let Washington change him." And, "It's not hard for someone is a Christian who truly believes to stay on the right path."

The 'Other' 2012 Christian US Voters Guide

This is an uncensored, politically-incorrect Christian voters guide.

If you are a liberal, hedonist atheist you can read this also. Actually, I hope you do because I believe the US is in such critical condition politically that practically everyone should recognize that survival is better than non-survival, and there is only one candidate seriously addressing the deeper issues that need to be addressed. This presidential election may literally be 'the last chance to save America' politically. The mainstream media has been so biased in their portrayal of the 2012 presidential candidates that it has been food for fodder for Jon Stewart who has been a beacon of honest journalism, albeit humorous and entertaining journalism, as shown in the linked video clips:
