Liberal Establishment Media Try To Mislead Public

I admire the writer(s) at The Birthers website. Their main goal is defending the Constitution of the United States of America and they are "dedicated to the rebirth of our Constitutional Republic."

At the Founding of our nation, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "what type of government have you given us, sir?"

 The answer: "A Constitutional Republic...if you can keep it."

That dire warning is now a reality. Will we restore our nation back to what the Founders intended? Or will we go the way of so many nations that squandered their liberty, freedom, and justice for all by way of succumbing to the progressivism (a.k.a. liberalism, socialism, communism etc.) that the far leftists want to create in place of our Constitutional Republic?

Anyway, I really like what an author at The Birthers wrote today. I am passing it along here on Talk Wisdom because I think that the more educated the electorate becomes, the better the election outcome will be in November, 2012.

Memo to GOP
Subject: How to shut the collective mouths of the liberal media and make your base happy you are defending the Constitution

Soledad O’Brien along with CNN et al are determined to help O’Bama even at the expense of the Constitution. Case in point as she berated Governor John Sununu trying to prove Obama’s eligibility, she made a fundamental error. She rhetorically asked the question “You don’t think it’s a big deal that person talks about the fact that the president of the United States is not a citizen of the country?”
However in this question she opened herself, and the whole liberal establishment who try to mislead the public, to positive correction and a lesson on the Constitution of the United States.
   
Sununu and any GOP representative should listen carefully for the adjectives “natural born” preceding the noun citizen. If they are missing, they should say that the Constitution does not require the President be a citizen, but a natural born citizen. “While I personally believe that Mr. Obama is a citizen a citizen of the United States due to his birth in Hawaii, history is unclear if he is a natural born citizen due to the very simple fact he was born a dual citizen. It is unclear because there has never been a Supreme Court decision stating that the child of an alien even though born in the United States is a natural born citizen capable of holding the office of President. If you wish we can discuss this as I am sure this topic is important to millions of Americans.

This reply not only will cause them to flash the “We are experiencing technical difficulties” sign, but is 100% accurate.

No Supreme Court case has ever declared that the child of an alien is an natural born citizen, nor has the Supreme Court ever said that the child of aliens born in the United States is eligible to be president.

If we just consider post 14th Amendment Supreme Court cases on the subject of who are natural born citizens and are the children of aliens citizens we find,

1.    No one doubted that the child of citizen parents born in the United States is a natural born citizen. 1875 Minor v. Happersett

2.   There were doubts that the child of aliens was a citizen even if born in the United States. Minor v. Happersett

3.   The children of aliens who are “domiciled in United States,” are 14th amendment citizens. 1898 Wonk Kim Ark

4.   The child of American citizens born in the United States can be president. 1939 Perkins v. Elg


I am 100% positive the following will quickly occur.

This issue will quickly disappear from the media, and the conservative voters will think that you are pro-constitution, and the independent voters will respect you. Independents by their very nature are free thinkers and would appreciate a truthful presentation from both sides on this debate.

NOT JUST A CATHOLIC THING BUT A CONSCIENCE THING

Today, I would like to share an article submitted to me via email by my friend Bing.   We became acquainted via email when we both were involved with writing two letters per month for the Faith and Values section of the North County Times newspaper. 

Bing continues to write letters to the editor for that newspaper.  Unfortunately, they are often rejected because they are deemed "too Christian" and/or "not appropriate" for the secular newspaper's letters section.  I plan to post many of his excellent points (which are often rejected because of viewpoint discrimination by the editors at the newspaper).  Here is the latest article he sent me:

NOT JUST A CATHOLIC THING BUT A CONSCIENCE THING


You won’t get this if your reading is confined to the secular press and your viewing to network TV.


As you read this ask yourselves two questions:


1) Are we talking about a violation of the Fifth Commandment (You shall not murder)?

2) Can anyone give one good reason that any Christian, regardless of denominational affiliation, or any orthodox Jew would vote for Obama?
 
 
Individuals and the Obamacare mandate

by Gene Veith on July 27, 2012

Discussion about the Obamacare contraception/abortifacient insurance mandate has centered on the religious liberty of church-related institutions. But what about the religious liberty of pro-life individuals who own businesses? That, in fact, is the case before the courts that might have a ruling today. Here are details about that case, with a rather chilling statement about how the Obama administration sees religious liberty:


Hercules Industries is a Colorado based corporation that makes heating and air conditioning equipment. Hercules is a family-owned business. Its owners, the Newland brothers — William, Paul and James — and their sister, Christine Ketterhagen, take their Catholic faith seriously. The business provides good jobs for 265 people and Hercules Industries tries hard to be a good member of the community. The siblings who operate the business have always assumed that they had the right to live according to their faith, like other businesses across our nation.


In those parts of New York City that have a high percentage of residents who are Orthodox or Hassidic Jews, businesses close when the sun sets on Friday and stay closed until sunset on Saturday, in observance of the Sabbath. Kosher butchers do not sell pork and Kosher delis do not make pork sandwiches. This sort of religious freedom is not peripheral to religious Americans of all professions. It is central to their idea of the American dream.


This is consistent with what the Newlands believe. The health benefits packages that Hercules Industries provides to its employees is very generous, but it does not include sterilization, artificial contraception or abortifacients. Individuals who work for the company are free, of course, to obtain these at their own expense or to secure insurance coverage outside the company health plan that covers those types of expenses.


The Newlands have brought suit against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for regulations she has promulgated that require that any company employing more than 50 people must include those medical procedures and drugs in the health plan. The Hercules Industry lawsuit states:


The Catholic Church teaches that abortifacient drugs, contraception and sterilization are intrinsic evils. Consequently, the Newlands believe that it would be immoral and sinful for them to intentionally participate in, pay for, facilitate or otherwise support abortifacient drugs, contraception, sterilization, and related education and counseling as would be required by the Mandate, through their inclusion in health insurance coverage they offer at Hercules.


The Obama administration has resisted the Hercules lawsuit by claiming that the company is secular, and therefore entitled to no First Amendment protection, with the Department of Justice telling the court:


"The First Amendment Complaint does not allege that the company is affiliated with a formally religious entity such as a church, nor does it allege that the company employs persons of a particular faith. In short, Hercules Industries is plainly a for-profit, secular employer. By definition, a secular employer does not engage in any “exercise of religion.” It is well established that a corporation and its owners are wholly separate entities, and the Court should not permit the Newlands to eliminate that legal separation to impose their personal religious beliefs on the corporate entity or its employees."

The Opening of the Olympics in London?

In one word...  BIZARRO!  OH MY GOSH...  FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE I CAN AGREE WITH MATT LAUER WHEN HE SAID:

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S CUTE....

(long pause....)

OR CREEPY!!!

Have the Brits officially LOST THEIR MINDS????

I could hardly type this out because I was laughing so hard after Lauer's comment!

Well, at least after the commercial they are playing the theme from Chariots of Fire and showing clips of that movie.  Oh wait....there's a guy running who can't keep up.

Forget what I said...this is STUPID!!!

Maybe I just don't get British humor....

I recall absolutely HATING the "Beatles Love" performance in Las Vegas a few years ago.

The British are....well....just STRANGE!!!!

Now, I need to see what other bloggers are writing.

P.S.  The fact that they used J.K. Rowling (author of the Harry Potter warlock series)  as a "speaker" during the opening segment...and there were evil characters all around...just shows how out of touch with reality (and God, for that matter) the producers of this awful fiasco really are!

    Was Obama's Communist Mentor His Father?

    Cliff Kincaid over at Accuracy in Media has presented a good case for believing that Obama's biological father was Communist Frank Marshall Davis.

    Accuracy in Media: Was Obama's Communist Mentor His Father?

    Copy of post:


    Arizona’s Joe Arpaio, known as “America’s Toughest Sheriff” for his treatment of criminals, has been sued by the Obama Administration but is running for re-election this year. He may already have had the last laugh, as his investigators probing President Obama’s birth certificate have come up with sure-fire proof that the document has been tampered with. The evidence shows that the identification of Obama’s father as “African” was not on the original document.

    Arpaio says the tampering may represent a “national security threat,” a reference to the fact that, if Obama’s birth certificate is fraudulent, foreigners seeking entry into or citizenship in the United States could similarly obtain phony documents. He is asking Congress to investigate.

    The reason for the cover-up in Obama’s case, contends filmmaker Joel Gilbert, is that his real father was Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist under FBI surveillance who was Obama’s mentor while he was growing up in Hawaii. The Gilbert film, “Dreams from My Real Father [1],” makes this case, based on a series of striking photo comparisons between Obama and Davis, and informed speculation that Davis, a sex “swinger” and pornographer, had an intimate affair with Obama’s mother. The film includes nude photos that Davis took of her in Davis’s home
    .
    Joseph Farah’s WorldNetDaily, which has been working with and covering the Arpaio inquiry, now seems focused on the critical issue of not where Obama was born but whether the identity of the father has been concealed. Gilbert argues that the “birthers” were on the wrong track all along and that the work of Arpaio’s team “confirms both the evidence and thesis” presented in his film that the father was left as “unknown” on Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

    Davis, perhaps the central figure in Obama’s early life, was referred to merely as “Frank” in Obama’s book Dreams from My Father. That cover-up was blown four years ago, when the identity of “Frank” was revealed and his 600-page FBI file was disclosed. Still, such figures as Dana Milbank of The Washington Post continue to refer to Davis as just a non-controversial “author.” Like many in the liberal media, Milbank has been determined to sanitize Obama’s relations with a Communist Party USA operative who was called before Congress to explain his involvement in “Soviet activities” in Hawaii
    .
    These pro-Obama “journalists” understand that while the threat of communism does not pack the same kind of punch it did years ago, it would be extremely damaging for Obama to have it known that he was raised and trained by a Communist operative with loyalties to the old Soviet Union. Indeed, Obama’s loyalty to the U.S. might be questioned as a result.

    Despite the failure to explain Davis’s Communist background and strong influence over Obama in his youth, the new Obama biography by David Maraniss, Barack Obama, the Story, confirms an Obama poem about “Pop [2]” was about Davis, not the Kenyan or Obama’s grandfather. The poem talks about Davis and whiskey, and stains and smells on their “shorts.”

    Without setting out to ascertain true paternity, Arpaio investigator Mike Zullo’s analysis takes the problem to a deeper level—the mentor may have been the actual father. He analyzed the numbers or codes on certain parts of Obama’s so-called “long-form birth certificate [3],” as released by the White House.

    While most media, including conservative talk radio, have shied away from the blockbuster revelations, Zullo appeared on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s WABC Radio [4] to talk about the “faded set of puzzling, handwritten codes,” saying that “…they looked like pencil markings to us. Nobody really knew what they were.” Zullo told Klein they were able track down the “local registrar” who signed the document, a now 95-year-old woman named Verna Lee, who explained what the codes meant.

    As noted [5] by WorldNetDaily, Lee confirmed to investigators that the “9” meant the information is not stated, meaning there should not have been any information in the box in which the number is written and that it was left “unknown.” On the “official” document released by the White House, however, the “9” was next to “Race of Father,” under which “African,” a reference to Barack Hussein Obama, the “Kenyan goat herder” claimed by Obama as his father when he ran for office, was entered.

    What all of this means is that the word “African” was inserted by persons unknown who apparently wanted the identity of the true father concealed.

    The reason for the fraud is what takes the scandal to another more dangerous level. The evidence suggests that Obama’s birth document was altered not just to conceal a family scandal but to conceal Obama’s relationship with a Communist who was considered by the FBI to be a top Soviet operative in the state of Hawaii and eligible for arrest in the case of a national emergency.

    But the alteration of the document did not go far enough. The “9” was left on by the forgers because they did not understand what it meant or whether it was relevant. They had to have figured that the “9” would have been ignored as mere scribbling on a birth certificate, having nothing to do with the “African” designation for the father.

    This omission on their part has now come back to haunt them and constitutes proof, as noted by Arpaio and his investigators, that the document has been altered. But by whom? The culprits would have to include Obama and/or his top associates.

    Not surprisingly, the media either ignored the revelation or distorted its significance. The Associated Press wire service covered the Arpaio news conference and noted [6], “The Obama campaign declined to comment on Arpaio’s allegations.” But the story went on to question the claims of the “birthers” without saying that the critical issue has now become the identity of the father.

    Gilbert was the first to assemble evidence that the “African,” Barack Hussein Obama, was not Obama’s real father, and to offer a coherent explanation as to why the cover-up occurred.
    Once it was decided that Davis could not be listed as the father, after the birth, the Kenyan Obama, who had a wife and children in Kenya, agreed to a “sham marriage” in exchange for certain benefits, Gilbert says.

    He explains, “The Kenyan Obama applied only to extend his visa and for a work permit, instead of citizenship which he would have done if it were a real marriage and if the child was his. Frank Marshall Davis, a married man with five children, wanted the paternity covered up, while ‘Gramps,’ Stanley Dunham, needed a cover (Davis being under FBI surveillance) due to his government employment. Stanley Dunham knew the Kenyan Obama from his work with Operation Airlift Africa, as evidenced in the photo in the film. No father was named on Barack Obama’s birth certificate because it was not acceptable for Davis to be named as the father, while the Kenyan was not accepting responsibility for the child, only to assist in the cover up for short term benefit.”
    Gilbert tells AIM that, in addition to all of this, “I corresponded and spoke several times with an elderly friend of Frank Marshall Davis named Stephen T. Murin, who was 93 years old. When I asked him about the Obama birth certificate, he told me, ‘as far as I know they didn’t put any father on it.’ Unfortunately, Murin passed away suddenly and I never got a chance to interview him on camera.”

    “Barack Obama built his political career on the goat herding Kenyan father, by which he meant that he would bring people together and was above politics. So the story went,” Gilbert said. “In fact, it is more likely Obama has a deeply disturbing family background, from which he acquired a Marxist political foundation. Frank Marshall Davis was a member of CPUSA, and a Communist propagandist and organizer, charged with bringing black people into the movement. Some CPUSA members became Soviet spies, stealing America’s atomic weapons plans and helping to ignite the Cold War. Davis was suspected of espionage in the FBI files.”

    Gilbert concluded, “While voters will overlook some fudging by politicians, promoting a false family background to hide a Marxist agenda irreconcilable with American values is a totally unacceptable manipulation of the electorate.”

    As Gilbert makes his case to the media, he finds resistance, even from conservative media organizations such as Newsmax.com. “On May 2 of this year, I paid Newsmax $4,350, in advance, for an advertising campaign,” he said [7] at my Washington conference last week. “They pulled it at the last second. ‘Why?’ They said it was because they wanted ‘to move to the Center.’”

    Bill Muehlenberg's Essay: "On The Colorado Killings"

    My blogging friend Bill Muehlenberg has written an essay about the Colorado killings at his Culture Watch blog that I think needs to go viral!  Therefore, I am doing my part today by linking to it and adding my own thoughts about what Bill has written.

    First, please visit his blog to read the essay, then return to read my comment and share some thoughts of your own.


    On the Colorado Killings - It is early days yet so only tentative commentary can be offered here. But we do know this much. Last night at a midnight viewing of the latest Batman movie...
    My comment:

    Dear Bill,

    Your essay covered the gamut of feelings and thoughts that developed in my mind after this awful tragedy.  I read what you had written at your blog late last night.  There weren't any comments yet, and I could not write one at that time.  I needed to ponder all that you wrote, think about it all, and then write a comment today.

    Back in 2008, I wrote that Heath Ledger was said to have been haunted by the Joker character.  Some people agreed, others claimed that he "loved" playing that character.  I really think that evil affects people drastically, even when they can't admit it.

    I didn't see any of the "dark knight" movies.  The description that you provided cements my decision never to view them.  Those who watch such evil movies, or movies with blatant curse words, or movies that disparage God, or movies that display disgusting porn become desensitized by the violence, aberrant sexual sin, hatred/disregard of God, and celebration of evil.
     
    Jesus warned us that the closer we get to the end times, it would be "as in the days" of Noah and Lot.  The secular world today celebrates abortion, homosexuality, sexual sin, perversion, lies, evil, sin and death.  No wonder Jesus told us that his kingdom is "not of this world."

    Thank you for this post.  I plan to link to it in my next blog post because I think that people desperately need to read the wisdom, knowledge, and excellent analysis that you have provided.  You tell the truth;  as difficult as it may be for people to acknowledge or accept. What is most important is that you also provide the only way out - knowing Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
     
    Your last two paragraphs are some of the most compelling that I have ever read!  You have the ability to turn a huge tragedy into an invitation for redemption through Jesus Christ!  That is what the world needs to read.  It is better than any psychologist's words, psychiatrist's words, or any other human effort to try and comfort those who mourn.
     
    Only the living God, His living Word and Son Jesus Christ, His written word the Bible, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God can change the human heart from one of stone cold evil into a heart that can be redeemed to live with God forever in eternity.

    God bless you this day and always.  It is my prayer that your essay will reach millions who desperately need such words of wisdom today.

    Your friend and sister in Christ,
    Christine

    Colorado Theater Massacre [Update: Link Scrubbed!]

    Apparently, Fox News was quick to make the claim that the murderer of 12 innocent people and wounding of 35 others was not presumed to have terrorist ties.

    Suicide Bomber in Bulgaria Possibly Former Gitmo Detainee

    The horrific bombing of Israeli tourists - including men, women and children -  in Bulgaria was not just some random terrorist attack.  It occurred on the 18th  anniversary of a previous Muslim terrorist attack against Israelis in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The suspect has been identified as a possible former detainee at Gitmo!!

    It might be wise for us to heed the words of this commenter at Legal Insurrection:
    A task difficult to the point of being impossible: Fighting a war when your government – the one charged with defending the country (e.g., Art. I, section 8, clauses 10-16) – refuses to name the enemy.

    Long ago Muslims declared war on anyone who will not submit to Islam. Such declarations are directly and expressly sourced in the Quran. Robert Spencer has the full listing of core Islamic texts by means of which Muslim jihadists justify their actions.

    The current adm. refuses to identify Muslim ideologies – Islam itself – as the source of this long standing war.

    The Barbary Wars (1801-1805; 1815) were the first declared fighting between Muslims (as the Ottomans) and the US. But these were NOT the first fightings waged on the West by Muslims. From Islam’s birth in the early part of the 7th century Muslims throughout history have been the aggressors. The aggression continues. The ROP website tallies more than 19,000 Muslim attacks since 09/11/01. The Bulgarian attack follows the Muslim pattern
    .
    Until we have an executive who is willing to stand by his Art. II oath of office, Islam will not only wage war against America, it will succeed.

    Sheriff Arpaio's Long-Awaited Press Conference [Updates]

    Today is the day that Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse reveal much more evidence about Obama's fraudulent birth certificate and possible ineligibility to be POTUS.  I have written "possible" ineligibility because if Obama Sr. isn't his biological father (and the real father is either Frank Marshall Davis, Malcolm X, or even "pops" Dunham) then, in this particular matter he may only be guilty of the biggest fraud against the American people in the history of our nation for lying about his true identity.  Of course, if you have ever visited Commieblaster.com, then you will be educated about all of the evil, fraud, deaths, illegal activities, hatred of America, and all the rest of the nefarious activities that Obama and his ilk are guilty of!
    The link below will provide you access to the live broadcast (and hopefully the video of the entire event if you can't see the live broadcast) to the announcement of what Sheriff Arpaio and his Posse group have learned since the March 1, 2012 press conference.

    What Matters Most To You?

    It is certainly disturbing to see all the damage that Obama and his minions have done to America.  Obama is evil and (sorrowfully) an unchecked criminal. But what is even more disturbing is seeing him being led like a puppet by evil billionaire puppeteers like Soros. Many of the activities done by the Obama administration are certainly treasonous.

    All of their ilk may think that they are getting away with it.

    God will NOT BE MOCKED!

    God does see all that is done on this earth and the silliness of men with extreme wealth and unchecked power will all fall to dust and blow away in the end.

    Isaiah 64:6 tells us that we all "fade as a leaf" and our "iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."

    But those who hope in the Lord Jesus Christ are reconciled back unto God!

    Earthly "success," whether good or evil is temporary. Heavenly rewards are eternal. Those damned to hell will spend eternity separated from God forever.

    Choose this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house - we will serve the Lord. (see Joshua 24:15)

    The Two Eternal Destinations of Mankind

    Over the years, I have developed a habit of reading my favorite Christian books several times. Usually, it's a book that can give fresh insight each time it is read.    Dr. David Jeremiah's "Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven" is the kind of Bible study booklet that teaches the reader more wisdom and knowledge each and every time it is read!

    Recently, I was reading a section of the book entitled "Two Principles." Learning about heaven through Scripture can seem like a complex task. But Dr. Jeremiah makes it easy to understand. He backs up facts with Bible verses, and admits when he ventures into suppositions; even when they are based on certain verses.   We will never know it all on this side of heaven, but God has revealed what we need to know in His Word!  In fact, the Bible says that those who read the words of the book of Revelation will be blessed!  Why ignore this important book?

    I know.  Many people think that it is just to difficult to discern what was written in that apocalyptic book.  However, if we take the time to research and study, it becomes easier to understand.

    The two principles that Dr. Jeremiah discusses in the "Heaven" booklet are located on pages 24 - 26. They include "The Priority of the Presence of Jesus" (in heaven) and The Permanence of Personal Decisions" (regarding salvation through Christ).

    When I read the subtitle called "The Priority of the Presence of Jesus," I was reminded of a Bible study course that I took back in June, 2001.   The study was based on a book by Anne Graham Lotz (Billy Graham's daughter) called "The Vision of His Glory:  Finding Hope Through the Revelation of Jesus Christ."

    I picked up my study guide today and re-read what I had written back then in the lesson workbook.  What I liked about the study is the fact that Anne concentrated on "the priority of the presence of Jesus" in the book of Revelation.  It was not the typical "end times" kind of study.  It was geared more towards knowing Jesus Christ through the written words of John the Apostle in the book of Revelation, as well as additional Scripture that backs up what is written about Christ in the last book of the Bible.

    Here is a brief editorial review:

    Review


    In The Vision Of His Glory: Finding Hope Through The Revelation Of Jesus Christ, Anne Graham Lotz explains God's faithfulness regardless of circumstance. All who feel depressed, deluded or discouraged can find hope in all life's difficult situations:

    When life seems to small and problems seem to great; when personal insignificance outweighs God's significance; when overwhelmed by the ungodly majority; or when facing death or choosing life. With skilled teaching, an inspiring sense of wonder, practical insight, and heart-touching parables, Anne Graham Lotz brings clarity and understanding to the glorious pageantry and awesome imagery of the book of Revelation. Sharing her passion for God's Word, she leads the reader step by step through John's glorious, eyewitness account of God's plan for our future. The Vision Of His Glory brings the reader to a fresh, personal encounter with Jesus Christ revealing the vastness of God's boundless love and enduring mercy, the source of real, life-changing hope. --Midwest Book Review

    There are several additional reader reviews at the Amazon site. The following brief review is a good description of what you will learn throughout the study:

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not your usual study of Revelation! Really hits where you live., February 10, 2012 By Candace Ellett "Gramma Honey" (MO, USA)


    Before sharing the "Two Principles" from Dr. Jeremiah's booklet, I have to share a bit about the lesson that follows it. Lesson 3 is entitled, "Won't Heaven Be Boring?" The outline section tells us:
    Some people suggest that heaven is going to be dull, sitting around strumming on harps all day -- forever! Nothing could be farther from the truth. Heaven is the place where every ultimate longing of the human heart and spirit is satisfied, something we've never experienced on earth.
    Recall that Jesus told his disciples (just before his ascension into heaven) that he is going to prepare a place for you [us]. This is for the purpose of us being where He is for eternity! You see, heaven isn't just a beautiful place to live forever. It is heaven,  precisely because of the presence of Jesus Christ! The outline section also tells us:
    Heaven will not be boring because:

    1. God is not boring.

    2. You will not be boring.

    3. Your friends will not be boring.

    4. You work will not be boring.

    5. It is the place you've always longed for.
    What is ironic (in the booklet) is what appears on the left sided page of the previous chapter.  It is the end of the chapter that discusses "Where Are They Now" - meaning, where are the dead in Christ.  But at the end of the chapter, the last study question appears at the top of the page:

    5.  What level of confidence do you have about your eternal destiny?

    Interesting question!  It is one that each of us needs to answer at some point during this lifetime.  It matters how each individual answers Jesus' most important question, "Who do you say that I am?"


    Next, on the same page there is a "did you know" section that ends the chapter study question page.

    Did You Know?

    The most consistent Greek word translated "hell" in the New Testament is geenna, rendered Gehennah in English.  Greek geenna derives from Hebrew ge ben Hinnom--valley of the son of Hinnom, mentioned 10 times in the Old Testament (for example, Joshua 15:8).  It was a valley south and southwest of Jerusalem where Israelites participated in pagan idol worship and child sacrifice (Jeremiah 32:30-35).  Jeremiah prophesied it would become a place of God's judgment (Jeremiah 7:30-32; 19:2, 6).  By the first century A.D. it had become a smoldering trash heap where refuse, even dead bodies of criminals, were thrown to burn.  Jesus used it frequently as an appropriate image of God's final judgment--"hell...the fire that shall never be quenched"  (Mark 9:43).
    Helluva way to end a chapter, isn't it? Let's go back a few pages to briefly examine the two principles Dr. Jeremiah mentions in his study booklet.

    Excerpt:
    The Priority of the Presence of Jesus

    We can get specific and detailed about the technicalities of heaven, but it boils down to this: Heaven is where Jesus is. The most important thing about heaven is that it's where Jesus Christ is and where He has promised to take us (john 14:1-4). When Jesus spoke to the thief on the cross He said, "Today you will be with Me..." (Luke 23:43). [Christine adds: "in paradise."]  Paul said that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). When Paul wrote to the Philippians, he didn't say he was hard-pressed between wanting to be with the Philippians or going to heaven. He said he was hard-pressed between being with the Philippians and being with Christ (Philippians 1:23-24). The priority is not being in heaven, it's being with Christ. Wherever heaven is, as long as Christ is there, we'll be fine. It wasn't heaven that saved us, it was Jesus. It wasn't heaven that is coming again for us, it's Jesus. So the priority is being with Him. The best summary statement of all is Paul's when he wrote to the Thessalonians: "And thus we shall always be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:17). It's fine to know that what, why, when, where, and how --but most important is to know the "who," Jesus himself.

    Richard Baxter said it this way:
    "My knowledge of that life is small,

    The eye of faith is dim'

    But it's enough that Christ knows all,

    And I shall be with Him"3
    We live in a world where celebrities, athletes, musicians, singers, actors, and even politicians are revered.   At times, many are even "worshipped" by their fans.  This is always a huge mistake.  There is only One person who ever walked the earth that deserves our worship - Jesus Christ.

    But the mesmerized, wide-eyed young girl who dreams of meeting (or even marrying?) a handsome celebrity actor and gets her most fervent desire suddenly sees how much more important it is for her daughter to be brought up in the Christian faith rather than in a cult like Scientology.  God bless her for coming to her senses before it was too late!

    We are to love others, but never worship them.  Worship is an act that completely belongs to God.  Period.  However, if you look closely at your own life and the lives of others, you will notice that those who choose not to worship the true God of the Bible will worship someone, or something else.  As the Christian song goes, "every body's worshiping something...I choose You." [meaning, Jesus Christ.]

    This leads us right into Dr. Jeremiah's second principle.

    The Permanence of Personal Decisions (Luke 16:26)

    In Jesus' story of Lazarus and the rich man, Abraham described a "great gulf fixed" between hades and paradise, "so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us"  (Luke 16:26).  The gulf is fixed and is therefore permanent between heaven and hell.

    The decision we make about eternity will be made in this life, and there will be no crossing from one side to the other after death.  There is no such place as purgatory where we can earn our way into heaven.  The Bible says, "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment"  (Hebrews 9:27).  The only thing that follows death is judgment.  there is no state in which transactions are made allowing one to change his eternal destination.  Whatever decisions are made about eternity will be made in this life.  Paul wrote, "Behold, no is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).

    [T]he prospect of spending eternity with Christ in heaven is powerful, but it requires a decision on your part.  I hope you make the same decision that I did--that your eternity is secure with Christ in heaven.

    America Needs to Return To Being A God Fearing Nation!

    Thursday, June 28, 2012 was a monumental day in regards to the shocking Supreme Court ruling on Obamacareless and the contempt of Congress vote against Attorney General, Eric Holder.  Was it 14? Democrats voted with all of the Republicans to hold the AG in contempt?  The ObamaBorgBots cannot complain that it was a partisan vote.

    I realize that I am three days late in writing about these issues.  So much has already been written about the Obamacareless decision.  But allow me to describe my initial reaction to the ruling.

    My husband was not at home when the ruling came down.  Both of us were watching the  Fox News Channel but in separate venues.  When Bill Hemmer first stated (incorrectly) that the mandate was "struck down," my husband texted, "Yay!"  Moments later, when it was discovered that the mandate was upheld through the action of Chief Justice John Roberts changing the law from the Commerce Clause "penalty" mandate into a tax mandate, my husband texted, "sh**!"  Yes.  Sometimes he's a man of  very few words!  I couldn't help but get upset with Roberts for siding with the liberals on the court.  After a few days of reflection and praying, I started to write about the decision yesterday, and this is what I wrote:

    When I think about the things of God, study the Bible, worship Jesus Christ and pray; the things of this world seem quite trivial in comparison.  This morning [Saturday], I was tempted to write about the Supreme Court decision on Obamacare.  Most conservatives were probably as shocked as I was to hear that turncoat and traitor, Chief Justice Roberts, sided with the liberals on the court and re-wrote the law mandate as a tax, and not a penalty.  I have heard dozens of commentary about it and read several blog posts - which range in the "Roberts is a genius for making it a tax on the people" (so that Romney will win the election), to the outrage that a supposedly conservative justice would abandon
    the efforts of the three other conservatives (and Justice Kennedy - who is often considered the "swing vote") to strike the law down.

    For "one stop shopping" about what has been written and said about the Supreme Court decision, I suggest the following links:

    Daily Thought Pad: Shock Heard Around the World May Save America - Updated

    Excerpt:


    Rumor has it that Roberts received pressure, even threats, from undisclosed sources and caved, some say he moved to the dark side just this past week and some say Roberts has revealed himself to have real concern for the legacy of the Court that bears his name. Many feel that this ObamaCare ruling was the signature for ‘his’ court that he felt he needed.

    The Volokh Conspiracy :  Back in May, there were rumors floating around relevant legal circles that a key vote was taking place, and that Roberts was feeling tremendous pressure from unidentified circles to vote to uphold the mandate. Did Roberts originally vote to invalidate the mandate on commerce clause grounds, and to invalidate the Medicaid expansion, and then decide later to accept the tax argument and essentially rewrite the Medicaid expansion (which, as I noted, citing Jonathan Cohn, was the sleeper issue in this case) to preserve it? If so, was he responding to the heat from President Obama and others, preemptively threatening to delegitimize the Court if it invalidated the ACA? The dissent, along with the surprising way that Roberts chose to uphold both the mandate and the Medicaid expansion, will inevitably feed the rumor mill.

    Then there are the speculation that Roberts is a genius, Was Judge Roberts Just Playing Bridge? or as Michael Savage said: Roberts Epilepsy Medication Affects His Cognition and affected this decision?

    "Roberts is a genius": Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution says to raise revenue (taxes) a bill MUST originate in House of Representatives. This version of ObamaCare originated in the ways and means committee of the Senate! Did the Supreme Court miss that? Or is Justice Roberts sly as a fox?

    And then there are those who wonder if the all American boyish looking Chief Justice has crossed over to the dark side, either recently or perhaps he was always a closet Progressive… or worse?

    The word "tax" appears 413 times in the SCOTUS’s opinion #fullrepeal If you don't buy health insurance the IRS will take your tax refunds, so good luck with that! Charles Krauthammer said Roberts’ definition of this being a tax was very thin.

    Some pondered since this is now a taxation issue, in light of other SCOTUS cases this year on equal protection in tax law, can Obama still give waivers? I would say no!

    Palin tweeted: Congress has the power to rescind taxes, I expect them to do this after the recess in July. #Obamatax Later on with Greta Van Susteren on ‘On the Record’ Palin said, “This is a tax on all the people. Chief Justice John Roberts just shown the light on one of the big ObamaCare lies being perpetrated by President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and HHS Sec Kathleen Sibelius.”

    Then there are serious concerns about the precedent now set for other horrific “taxes”, for anything they choose based, on this decision… maybe for breathing will be next? All citizens are now taxed for living here – except of course Muslims who are exempt because their religion doesn’t allow them to buy insurance. The Amish are also exempt. Some have said this is the dhimmitude tax. If you convert to Islam, you won’t have to pay. Some have suggested a new “We are all Muslims now” program; watering down both the effects of radical Islam by infiltration and cutting the funding for ObamaCare based on religious freedom. US Catholic Church leaders are rejecting the ObamaCare Court Ruling.

    This is a complicated decision and will take more than a few hours or even a few days to decipher and study. For those of you wanting to take a shot at it. Here are the links below to the 193 page decision.
    Continue reading: Daily Thought Pad

    There is much more to read at the above link and dozens of links at the end of the blog post.  However, the following excerpt puts a positive bent on the ruling:

    And longtime D.C. political operative considers today’s Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare a good thing in the fight to defeat Barack Obama in 2012. Here’s why:

    The Obamacare ruling is good news for us. Real good news. It’s 2010 all over again now. Swing states will shift over to Romney in most cases. Trust me on this. We’ve done the polling. The data is conclusive on this. It’s a huge tax. We got Obama lying.

    Again. The Tea Party movement, which was as real and powerful a political movement as I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, is back in play. That scares the hell out of the Obama White House. You just got a bunch of Dems sweating hard over their re-election. The Republican Party will now be a lot more focused and clearly conservative and that’s exactly what they need to be this time around. We must make the election a clear divide between one side and the other and this Obamacare ruling has forced that to happen.

    And the initial reports I’m getting are telling me there was a lot more clever going on inside that decision than the initial reaction will indicate. It’s the Obama Tax now. And states were given an out. The entire law is a big ass convoluted mess and the ruling has reinforced that fact. Obama will have to defend something he doesn’t understand, and Romney can now sit back and just repeat over and over again “repeal-repeal-repeal”.

    The giant has woken up. Country needed a hard kick in the ass to remind us what is at stake in November. Now we are truly ready to fight! Read full article: Here

    Many including Senator Coburn have Repudiated the Chief Justice: He did Not ‘Enforce the Constitution’ Today, ‘Is On The Wrong Side’ In Ruling. Some have even mentioned the possibility of impeaching Supreme Court Justices, but in reality the chances of that moving forward would be like the impeachment of President Obama himself with the present Congress in place.

    This decision was an overall a win for the Obama administration but, there is always a silver lining if you dig deep enough. There are five (actually six) good things about the Supreme Court’s ObamaCare decision: It made taxation the panacea for constitutional questions; The liberal judges inadvertently brought Federalism back; Roberts got the liberals to actually set up a limit on the Commerce Clause; This deflates Occupy Wall Street’s and the Wisconsin protestor types’ biggest cause so Mitt Romney will now have a much easier time defeating Barack Obama… plus Obama now owns this massive regressive tax increase. Plus the decision also allows states to choose ‘not’ to increase their Medicaid rolls if they choose to turn down the new related federal funds and develop their own programs. Former Clinton advisor and author (most recent book: Screwed!), Dick Morris says that might be the biggest win of all. Morris also says this win will ultimately defeat Obama.

    Several states have already chosen not to take the so-called new funds or return their ObamaCare grants and ‘not’ to expand their Medicaid programs or develop exchanges, because in the end, after the first year it will cost the states millions… if not more eventually. Alaska is the only state who did not apply for a grant and Florida, Louisiana and New Hampshire quickly returned theirs. Virginia, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas are among the list of other states who have or are expected to decline or return their funds and develop their own programs (probably most of the 27 states involved in the Supreme Court case plus Virginia who had their own case will decline the funds ).

    As if we needed more reasons to reject Obamacareless, here is a great post that shows why our pre-Obamacareless health plan was better than the socialist ones in other countries:

    Shifting gears now, let's move on to the contempt of Congress vote that was held against Attorney General Eric Holder.  See the video of Issa's evidence presented in the House chamber:

    (Also see the additional videos of Congressmen speaking on the contempt vote on the sidebar at You Tube link above.)

    One must read blog post is The Ulsterman Report: BREAKING: Issa May Have Just Cornered Eric Holder On Fast and Furious Cover-Up

    Even more intriguing are the 59 comments, including these gems:

  • TO: Ulsterman – Part 3

  • At this third link, read this and more:

  • Federal Judge John McCarthy Roll was the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona who on Friday, January 7, 2011 issued a “preliminary ruling” . . . .

  • The following day, Saturday, January 8, 2011, Judge Roll was shot and killed . . . .

  • . . . The case being ruled on by Judge Roll, is all about bulk cash smuggling into or out of the United States by Mexican drug lords and who exactly has the final right of possession of the funds.

  • . . . The question that needs to be thoroughly investigated is, why is Obama’s Justice Department, and A.G. Eric Holder getting mixed up in all of this, and why do they care what happens to Mexican drug cartel funds??

  • Full circle now . . . you will notice that that third link is cited in a reader’s response at the Orly Taitz link.

    TO: Ulsterman – Part 4

      Ulsterman, I forgot to mention, that third link was posted in mid January 2011, months before Rep. Darrell Issa entered into the Congressional Record his bombshell letter about the wiretap. And no one has replied there, at Free Republic, since that same month, January 2011.

    Thanks Anonymouse — think this kind of stuff has also been going on for decades but was kept “quiet”, etc…just like Breitbart and the rest that WHI mentioned. I’m afraid it’s part of the fallen human condition and why there have been mostly tyrannical run nations from “day one”…the U.S. was/is highly unique and was based on biblical Judeo-Christian standards and at the begainning the majority were true Believers and actually tried to live their lives that way, teaching them at their public schools and at home, voting for godly, ethical, patriotic men, etc.



    Predictably, it didn’t last that long. It really hasn’t been that long ago. We started rebelling in more numbers against all that and gradually, our enemies found and took advantage of our weaknesses and knew the way to overtake us was via stealth over time.



    Now we are in the period where our “chickens have come home to roost”, indeed, Mr. Wright (can’t call him “Reverend”). They have reached most of their goals and got their evil people in everything everywhere….like cancer spreads and destroys. Yes, we have awakened – but right on the verge of going over the cliff and giving them their total victory. But that’s usually the case unfortunately. But as I’ve said before, I still believe we are that unique nation among all the other nations and there are still many, many true Believers and patriots who want and cherish the Founding Fathers ideas…..many, many are descendents of them and all the others that bravely fought and stood for it in years past.



    We must restore the kind of God fearing nation we used to have and have too many of us that can’t be taken out by these evil “hit men” – we will be too many — the old saying “united we stand, divided we fall” is indeed a truism – and it has to be the right kind of thing we’re united about. The only way to victory is to have God on our side. I pray that is the direction we are turning to.



    Ultimately, that is what our lives on this earth are all about. We need to restore ourselves towards the God fearing nation that we were founded upon! It may take decades, but it can be done!!
