Jewish Defamers of Israel
Jewish Defamers of Israel
The story as reported by Ynet:
Jewish Prof Equates Israel With Nazis
"Jewish Sociology and Global Studies Professor William Robinson of the University of Santa Barbara in California sparked massive controversy recently after sending his students an email comparing photos of Jews in Nazi concentration camps with Palestinians in war-torn Gaza Strip.
The email, sent during Operation Cast Lead and titled "parallel photos of Nazis and Israelis", was sent to 80 students in his class and included 25 photos of Nazi victims, compared with similar photos from Gaza.
The email also included an essay stating, "Gaza in Israel's Warsaw – one big concentration camp for Palestinians. What we are witnessing is the slow process of genocide." -more
* * *
The rise of anti-Zionist Jewish Defamers of Israel is a dangerous development, and I suggest that we need to directly confront, deconstruct, rebut, analyze, understand, and expose this aspect of the global tidal wave of anti-Semitism swelling up against us.
How? Stay tuned for further developments. I've got a plan.
-Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973
************
In an otherwise excellent interview in JTA, Deborah Lipstadt fails to address the worst antisemitism found among Jews themselves; Deborah Lipstadt fails to address how Jews have failed to learn the lessons of the Holocaust, as is glaringly evident by the pope's imminent visit to Israel and by the mass deception the Israeli government engaged in to collaborate with the Vatican against Jerusalem. Nothing new under the sun.

Holocaust Hypocrisy! (article)
Learn the lessons of Hitler's war against the Jews: there's no lasting place for Jews in the Exile (where most remain), that such a self-imposed exile will lead to self-destruction (in one way or another), that you must take your enemies at their word, not your wishful thinking (like the delusional "peace" process), and it's necessary to return to the Torah of God and Homeland of Israel.

God and Gays
God and the Gays - To Be or Not to Be (Part 1)
Homosexuality.... Is it a matter of choice? Are some born that way? And if so, then how could God condemn it? Or does He? Does it make a difference?
God and the Gays - All That Glitters Isn't Gold (Part 2)
The gay bar scene or high risk promiscuous sex... Is it so happy-go-lucky? Something so sweet and wonderful we'd "wish you were here?" Or is it actually something you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy?
God and the Gays - Once Gay, Always Gay? (Part 3)
Once gay always gay? How about once an adulterer always an adulterer? Better yet, once a sinner always a sinner (1 Cor. 6:11; 1 John 1:9)? WHO says so?
God and the Gays - Of Vice and Men (Part 4)
Everyone - gay or straight - has the "fire" within (1 Cor. 7:9). Some burn more than others, but it's still there. God understands proper sexual desire and simply commands that we develop His character to control and channel it. He knows our human need to love and be loved, to touch and feel, to give of ourselves totally in a reciprocal relationship.
God and the Gays - A Time to Heal (Part 5)
God calls people from all walks of life and performs a miracle in their minds: they're offered a fresh perspective, given a new outlook, and enabled to try a different approach (Philip. 2:5). Their former "records" aren't held against them and they're started out with a new attitude and identity (2 Cor. 5:17).
God and the Gays - Make Up Your Mind (Part 6)
We can make things easier or more difficult for ourselves. Either you're totally convinced God's way is right and worth living, or you're not sure and continually ride the fence and risk rupture; tormenting yourself and sending out conflicting signals and confusing signs (Matt. 6:24; 7:16).
Obama's lawyers fear disclosure
Government lawyers defending President Obama and Congress in a lawsuit alleging that he's ineligible to occupy the Oval Office and that members of the House and Senate violated the constitutional rights of citizens by refusing to investigate want still more time to respond to the accusations...
An Open Letter to American Politicians: On "Right-Wing Extremists"

Open letter to American politicians:
Nearly 130 million Americans voted in the November 2008 elections. 46% of them voted against Obama and the Democrats while another 6 million Americans stayed home in 'protest' against being once again forced to vote for the 'lesser of two evils.' That amounts to more than 65 million Americans. According to simple mathematics and to a plain and simple reading of the Constitution, neither party has ever had any sort of a 'mandate' to do anything to subvert The Constitution of the United States. Yet, this is what both parties have done for more than eighty years, and arguably for more than a hundred years.
Although there are many and several issues that politicians from both parties have cocked up, let's look at a single contemporary political and public policy issue and address that in the simplest terms possible. This is just one item of many that the DHS, President Obama, liberal Democrats and 'moderate' Republicans have used to identify "right-wing extremists" in America who are also known by those same politicians and government entities as "domestic terrorists" and as "potential domestic terrorists."
By many accounts, more than 50 million *households* in America own more than 300 million guns and rifles. Most of those gun owners are American citizens who are registered Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Libertarians. In total, that amounts to well over one hundred million Americans who either own a gun or rifle or who quite willingly live in a home with a gun owner. That's an awful lot of "extremists" and "crackpots" and "bitter gun-owners." The families of most of these gun owners are also well-trained in gun safety procedures and in the proper and timely use of those guns and rifles.
Judging by the Plain Meaning Rule and by any honest and objective interpretation of the U.S. Constitution - and of most state constitutions - those Americans have every legal and moral right to possess and own those guns and rifles, with or without government approval. By an objective, rational and honest reading, and according to many public and private records handed down by the Founding Fathers, individual and private American citizens actually have a right to own military grade-weaponry, again, without the permission or approval of the state or federal governments. This constitutionally enumerated legal and moral right to gun ownership was not for the purposes of hunting or of 'sportsmanship.' Many of the founding fathers openly state - several times each - that this was solely intended as a provision to keep our government in check.
50 million Americans - and their families - are not insane right-wing extremists or domestic terrorists or potential domestic terrorists. Only a tyrannical government would label them as such in spite of what the Constitution openly and plainly states. As a matter of fact, those gun owners are all quite mainstream. More than one in three Americans either own guns or safely, securely and freely live in a household with a gun owner. Chances are extremely high that you work with more than one gun owner. You socialize with them. You trade birthday gifts and holiday cards with them. They live like you do. They eat like you do. They dress just like you do. They go to the same schools, churches, restaurants, malls, stores, colleges and universities that you do. Your children know and play with their children. If their cars and SUVs don't have bumper stickers or if their t-shirts, suits and dresses don't openly display their pride and freedom in their gun ownership, you simply cannot pick them out of a crowd.
In any case, insulting and attempting to marginalize 50 million American families who own guns sounds like a very dangerous political and social strategy. Especially as they are now - privately and Constitutionally - owners of several billion rounds of ammunition to use in those guns and rifles.
You need to re-think your strategy and tactics, Mr. and Mrs. Honorable State and Federal Politician. You have created the very thing that your speeches, duties and oaths claim that you are against: A government of tyranny. Both historically and in contemporary times, a tyrannical government has always led to an open rebellion.
Keep in mind that in our founding documents, when government abuses and usurpations have intruded upon their right to their own lives, liberties and their individual pursuit of happiness, American citizens retain the legal and moral right to overthrow their government.
You are the political leaders of America. The blood of innocent and guilty alike will be upon your hands and upon your hands alone. You alone have led yourselves, your friends, families, America and the world to this moment in history.
I, personally, do not want to see the world burn, but it is almost too late for you to change America's course. You must act now, for freedom and liberty, before it is too late.
My point being, that according to the objective evidence in one subject alone, you, as the political leaders representing a tyrannical American government, simply cannot win. Additional resources revealing numerous other points of failure in your current position are herein enclosed for your convenience and edification.
Choose liberty. Choose freedom. Choose life and peace for all of our sakes.
(Disclosure: I am not a gun owner. Constitutionally - ethically and morally - it's really none of your damned business whether I have one or not.)

Absent a sufficient showing for a proper restraint of liberty, the court is duty bound to order the restraint eliminated and the person discharged.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Why Susan Boyle? Nearly three hundred million people have seen her performance...and they are asking why it took so long for her achieve success in what is ostensibly a free and open Western society. They are questioning the every foundations of a culture and society that makes it nearly impossible for an individual to succeed. A culture and society that is led by people like yourselves.

Chavez Gives Obama an Idiotic Book
Chavez Gives Obama an Idiotic Book
A decade ago, Independent Institute Senior Fellow Alvaro Vargas Llosa called the book that Hugo Chavez gave Barack Obama at the recent Summit of the Americas, "the idiot's bible." Vargas Llosa criticized the 1971 book--Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano--for its fallacies and far-out predictions. Notwithstanding Chavez's enthusiasm for it, recent years have not been kind to Galeano's book.
The developed countries of the Northern Hemisphere have not drained Latin America--precisely the opposite is true. In the past six years, strong exports have lifted about 40 million Latin Americans out of poverty. Foreign investment has boosted the demand for labor and increased the standard of living. "In the last seven years alone, Latin America has benefited from $300 billion in net capital flows," writes Vargas Llosa, whose latest book, Lessons from the Poor: Triumph of the Entrepreneurial Spirit, celebrates entrepreneurship in Latin America and Africa.
Galeano even argued that greater economic freedom for businesses would require more prisons to incarcerate those who "suffer from business." Writes Vargas Llosa, "Actually, the greater (though still insufficient) freedom given to business in the era of globalization has resulted in increasing prosperity in developing nations. This decade, the pace of economic growth per person has been four times higher in developing nations than in rich nations."

ESSEN/ASHGABAT/BERLIN (Own report) - The RWE Company will have access to Turkmenistan's natural gas, thereby strengthening the German position in international competition for Central Asian energy resources. According to the memorandum signed a few days ago, RWE will participate in the exploration and development of natural gas resources in Turkmenistan's western Caspian Sea. Berlin is also seeking to enhance its cooperation with other Central Asian countries. Angry reactions are being heard from Moscow, fearing impingement on its hegemony over the region. The memorandum was signed immediately preceding a series of international meetings to discuss the flow of Central Asian oil and gas. The RWE deal will strengthen Germany's position at these talks. It is becoming evident that German energy companies have a division of labor in their approach. The Eon Company, focusing mainly on Russian natural gas, is cooperating with Moscow, while RWE is concentrating on the Central Asian gas and its transport via the Nabucco-Pipeline bypassing Russian territory, a central element of Berlin's energy strategy.

United States in Prophecy!
United States in Prophecy!
The United States is mentioned in the Bible! We're descendants from Joseph and are Joes. The Jews are from the tribe of Judah. We need to get away from counterfeit Christianity and back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and keep His Sabbath and biblical holy days.

Beyond Babylon sounds the alarm!
Israel already forfeited Temple Mount, divided Jerusalem
"The greatest threat, the one that magnifies all others exponentially, is that only a few in Israel or abroad are aware of the real extent of the dangers facing the Jewish country – both from within and without," writes Aaron Klein.
Beyond Babylon has warned many in Israel and abroad for years about Jerusalem's betrayal and rape, as The Jerusalem Post acknowledged when I was unjustly deported from Israel for exposing the German-Vatican plot against Jerusalem and highlighting the plight of the Temple Mount suffering under Nazi Muslim occupation (in an article first published in Jerusalem and read throughout Israel, and now the world).

Jerusalem's Betrayal and Rape
Homegrown Arab terrorists?
Behind the Veil of Islam
It's sad to see some pull the veil over the eyes of innocent Americans with disarming and deceitful portrayals of Islam as well-assimilated and innocuous. Let the rest of the story be told
Ohio Mosque Promotes Murder!
I repeated the "spiritual lesson" to the imam and asked him if the Muslims had any such saying. He replied that the Jews create such spurious sayings in order to discredit Islam and Arabs. I then shocked him, and the audience, when I asked: "If that's not a Muslim story, and is spurious and created by the Jews, then why would you, as the leader of this Islamic community permit that very story to be published in your newsletter last month?" He was speechless.
Toledo, Islam, and Terrorists
One day they purposely showed me a newsletter from the Islamic Center in Perrysburg that had a story from the Haddith -- saying attributed to Mohammad -- that spoke of a war in the last days between Jews and Muslims, and how Jews would hide behind trees and the trees would say, "There's a Jew behind me, kill him!" except for one tree that would shelter the Jews.
FBI on the Fourth of July!
The FBI agents asked if I had any enemies. I said any militant Muslims could hate me for calling upon the Israeli government to build the Temple; that traditional Christians could hate me for speaking the plain truth that contradicts their pagan beliefs; that some Jews could hate me if they thought I was a "missionary," etc.

David Duke expelled from Czech Republic
Duke expelled from Czech Republic (JTA article)
************
The sad thing is so much of what David Duke says is the plain truth when it comes to how every race and ethnic group but White Israelites (those of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic or NW European origin) can feel proud and seek to advance themselves or protect and preserve their heritage. However, when David Duke dismisses Hitler's Burnt Offering of Jews as a myth, rather than exploited or exaggerated by some, he does a great disservice to Israel and Judah who both need to get our House in order before King Messiah arrives.
Those who have self-righteously made "Holocaust denial" a crime (rather than a free and open debate) are simply throwing fuel on the fires of those who speak of disproportionate Jewish influence.
The English-Speaking Nations of White Israelites
Is God a racist? Does He discriminate? Did Jesus hate Gentiles? Was Paul prejudiced? Are Israelites and Jews superior to other peoples? Is God's favorite color white?
Israel and Judah Must Get House in Order Before King Messiah Arrives
According to the rabbis, the "Lost Ten Tribes" are for all intents and purposes "Gentiles." This information constitutes further proof that the "Lost Ten Tribes" are not those diverse claimants (African, Indians, Burmese) who maintain remnants of Judaism from somebody's former conversion or contact with the religion of Judaism.

Holocaust Hypocrisy! (article)
Learn the lessons of Hitler's war against the Jews: there's no lasting place for Jews in the Exile (where most remain), that such a self-imposed exile will lead to self-destruction (in one way or another), that you must take your enemies at their word, not your wishful thinking (like the delusional "peace" process), and it's necessary to return to the Torah of God and Homeland of Israel.

Re: Jerusalem's Nightmare!
How arrogant of you to presume to tell me what is my real name! What chutzpah.My name was legally changed from David Hoover to David Ben-Ariel TWENTY YEARS AGO, as related within my articles God-given Names and From Toledo to Jerusalem.
When did Barry Soetoro legally become Barack Hussein Obama?
Let the truth set you free from such disinformation:
Still at Large!
The Jerusalem Post, Jan. 8, 1996, had a front page story about how the GSS sought my deportation for alleged involvement in a "plot to blow up the Al-Aksa mosque."
Exposing the German-Vatican Plot to Occupy Jerusalem
The one time The Traveller did run a political piece, it ruffled feathers with the local authorities. In 'Will Jerusalem become an international city?' by American writer David Ben-Ariel, readers were warned about a German-Vatican plot to take over Jerusalem, urged to take back the Temple Mount and dislodge 'as symbols of foreign occupation' Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
To extremists, to those who are either woefully ignorant or remain in denial of the plain truth of the Bible and history I dare to share.
Dangerous Ideas?
During my brief appearance before Israel's High Court, the prosecution charged that I hold "dangerous ideas." I suppose the short-sighted prosecution would ban the Bible if he could since it contains the "dangerous ideas" that millions believe in! What are those "dangerous ideas?"

Rreward for Obama's Birth Certificate
From the Reward for Obama's Birth Certificate.com website:
The owners of this website will pay $25,000,000 to Barack Hussein Obama if he will produce his "real" long-form birth certificate.
Help spread the word about our $25 million reward to Barack Hussein Obama for him to produce his “real” long-form birth certificate...we will continue to increase the amount of the reward until it is so huge that the American people will begin to question why he has sealed all his background info to hide something...his nationality, his religion, his commie background...what is he trying to hide...we want to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barack Hussein Obama is a fraud on the American people!
The lunatic left helped him get elected and is using him in a power grab to rapidly replace our capitalist system with far-left socialism that will ruin our country.We can stop this power grab because we are convinced that Barack Hussein Obama is nota natural-born citizen of the U.S. and therefore is not qualified to be President of the U.S.A.
It is our intent to offer the kind of reward that will motivate someone to produce Barack Hussein Obama's real birth certificate that can be proven to be valid!
A lot of money has been spent to keep his real birth certificate and other records of citizenship hidden.
If it takes a lot of effort to expose Obama's fraud on the American people, we will do it.
The owners of this website will pay $25,000,000 reward to Barack Obama for producing his own "real" and valid long-form birth certificate, not the meaningless Certification of Live Birth which proves absolutely nothing at all!!!
Naturaly we will only pay after document experts can prove the validity of the document.
Is he man enough to do that...we doubt it!!!
Obama has refused to unseal all his records which would prove his citizenship and is paying a lot of lawyers to keep his background hidden from public view which tells us that he is hiding something very serious indeed!
How much do you think it will take to get him to produce the "real" birth certificate...$5 million, $10 million, $25 million, $50 million, $100 million, $1 billion... He has already put us trillions of dollars in debt and for what...nothing, Maybe we should offer him a trillion dollars just to walk away and stop this nonsense...Send us a letter (at the address below) if you would pay Barack Obama more than we would!
Send your letters (no checks or cash) to:Reward for Obama's Birth Certificate.com22421 Barton Rd. #110Grand Terrace, CA 92313
Presidential Eligibility:
Article II, Section 1 of our Constitution states, "no person except a natural born citizen ... shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Lack of Proof of Obama's Eligibility:
None of the evidence currently available proves anything about whether or not Obama is a natural-born citizen of the U.S. Even a family member says that he was born in Kenya.
Our Goal:
Utilize a legally acceptable method for raising a gigantic and legal reward fund to reward whomever can produce a valid birth certificate which proves that Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the U.S.
The Reward:
A gigantic and legal reward fund as reward for the production of Barack Hussein Obama's valid birth certificate will help uncover what Obama is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to hide. He refuses to unseal any record which might tell us where he was born as well as his citizenship and even basic details about his parents at birth. He must have a lot to hide!!! Anybody who has this much to hide should not be President of the United States. Even a former FBI executive has said that he could not get a top secret security clearance because of his questionable background...
Security of the Birth Certificate:
The custody of the birth certificiate shall be conducted at all times in the presence of several independent witnesses and an independent armed guard provided by an independent guard service. The birth certificate will be kept in a locked safe deposit box, access to which shall require the presence of several independent witnesses and an independent armed guard provided by an independent guard service.
Process for Collecting the Reward:
The contract for the process of production of the birth certificate, it's security after production and the verification of its validity and the award of a reward shall be drawn up and administered by an independent law firm.
Why This is so Important:
We are compiling news articles and other info which will explain the issue and why it has not been resolved.

Apostate Christians
Gentilized Christians, misled by Romanizers!
MILITANT MINORITIES have a dream: SUPREMACY (Deuteronomy 28:43). They only clamor for “equality” as a stepping-stone for their real goal: replacing those in the positions of power with their own kind. (Please notice I stress militant minorities. There are many minority members who aren’t out to harm or undermine White Israelite culture and are a wonderful part of it). Multiculturalism is mad and destroys national unity!
Likewise, the early Church of God faithfully kept the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH (sunset Friday to sunset Saturday) for several hundred years. Later, under political pressure and religious opposition, they backed down. They allowed the observance of “the venerable day of the Sun” back-to-back with God’s Sabbath. What a tragic mistake! We’re still suffering the consequences of such shameful compromise.
By sanctioning Sunday services, the Church gave SUNday the necessary clout to claim “equality.” That peaceful coexistence was short-lived, however. Soon the Gentile “converts” managed to make it illegal for Christians to keep the “Jewish Sabbath!” In 365, during the Council of Laodicea, they forcibly substituted Sunday for the seventh day Sabbath! Constantine or Christ? Yeshua said He was Lord of the Sabbath - the seventh day Sabbath is the Lord's Day. Yet Constantine pimped SUNday and his Christian reprobates- apostate Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant followers - continue to keep it as an idolatrous tradition over the commandment of God. This plain truth angers many of the self-righteous!
Earlier, to promote “unity”—NOT the truth—the Council of Nicea (in 325 AD) ruled the Christian PASSOVER (commemorating Jesus’ death) had to go! Whoever disagreed faced the death penalty! Their religious fabrication supposedly emphasized Jesus’ resurrection—in direct violation of Christ’s command! Eventually they stopped their charade of keeping the Jewish Passover of the Lord, moved their new Roman holiday to a different date that the faithful - like Polycarp and Polycrates who kept the biblical Passover- opposed, knowing it was devised by deceived and deceiving Gentile men) and eventually even called their celebration Easter instead of Passover or Pascha. But they forgot to give it a Christian-sounding name. Easter’s the Babylonian spring goddess—Baal’s playboy bunny! They had given up the kosher Lamb of God for a rabbit trick! And to this day, many Gentilized Christians, misled by Romanizers, even go so far to add insult to injury by pigging out on Easter ham and having Easter egg hunts!
In time, anything even remotely “Jewish” about the Church of God came under attack. The Gentile minority-turned-majority demanded changes to reflect their “universal” appeal. They wanted to appear more inclusive—at the expense of the Church’s Jewish (read biblical) heritage. They were intent on destroying the doctrines they once held dear.
Changes… for the Worse!
Misguided ministers GUTTED THE BODY OF CHRIST and were now picking at the bones (Micah 3:1-3). In their racist zeal, they were throwing out the original truths and replacing them with popular error. The early Church of God, with its now-derided leaders, should’ve NEVER attempted to power-share! It only led to disaster. They foolishly enabled their “equals” to oust them (3 John 9, 10).
Not everyone was thrilled about all the changes taking place. The flood of “new truths” had come so fast and furious, many were caught off guard (Rev.12: 15). They were simply unprepared for this “scholarly” onslaught (Malachi 2:12). Some expressed concern, others questioned what was going on, but everyone sensed something just wasn’t right. It seemed almost overnight everything they’d been taught was somehow wrong. Now there were DIFFERENT MEANINGS given to biblical words, and supposedly the Church now had a “deeper understanding” of various scriptures.
What was troublesome to longtime members, though, was that these DOCTRINAL DIFFERENCES didn’t enhance or add to whatever they already understood—it took away, undermined, or totally denied what they’d PROVEN to be true. They felt that they shouldn’t give these new “Christians” the time of day (Galatians 2:5) and agreed with the words of the apostle Paul who spoke against adultery, warned about whoring around with foreign gods and alien religions, who condemned mixing and matching biblical truth with pagan error:
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-16).
Therefore, unlike the majority of spiritual drunks and whores, the many who followed after false Christs, they refused to surrender God’s truth, accept a pagan truce, or enter into a marriage of convenience. They knew better! And they weren’t going to deny God’s truth or ignore it—despite charges of “refusing to grow” and “worshiping a man” (Paul). They knew the true source of such slander (Rev.12: 10).
The Faithful Few
"For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted... 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works" (2 Corinthians 11:4).
Those Sabbath-keeping Church of God members, who remained faithful to the original Christian beliefs and authentic practices established in Jerusalem, who didn't succumb to seducing spirits or fall for the many different versions of "Jesus" and other "gospels" attractively offered that they were warned about, were forced to flee for their lives. They became part of the “underground” and got involved in “the resistance movement.” They had to hide out in the mountains and valleys of Europe and Asia Minor to escape persecution and death (Revelation 12: 6).
Beyond the pale of the pope, these “wandering Jews” carried their “Sanctuary” with them, and its attendant truths (Hebrews 11: 38). During their wilderness trek, God’s true Church would retain its unique identity (John 17: 11). Though banished upon penalty of death, these freedom fighters kept the FAITH alive (John 8:32). They knew that God would end their exile, and waited patiently for TRUTH to triumph over tradition.

This plain truth angers many of the self-righteous!
Earlier, to promote “unity”—NOT the truth—the Council of Nicea (in 325 AD) ruled the Christian PASSOVER (commemorating Jesus’ death) had to go! Whoever disagreed faced the death penalty! Their religious fabrication supposedly emphasized Jesus’ resurrection—in direct violation of Christ’s command! Eventually they stopped their charade of keeping the Jewish Passover of the Lord, moved their new Roman holiday to a different date that the faithful - like Polycarp and Polycrates who kept the biblical Passover- opposed, knowing it was devised by deceived and deceiving Gentile men) and eventually even called their celebration Easter instead of Passover or Pascha. But they forgot to give it a Christian-sounding name. Easter’s the Babylonian spring goddess—Baal’s playboy bunny! They had given up the kosher Lamb of God for a rabbit trick! And to this day, many Gentilized Christians, misled by Romanizers, even go so far to add insult to injury by pigging out on Easter ham and having Easter egg hunts!
In time, anything even remotely “Jewish” about the Church of God came under attack. The Gentile minority-turned-majority demanded changes to reflect their “universal” appeal. They wanted to appear more inclusive—at the expense of the Church’s Jewish (read biblical) heritage. They were intent on destroying the doctrines they once held dear.
Changes… for the Worse!
Misguided ministers GUTTED THE BODY OF CHRIST and were now picking at the bones (Micah 3:1-3). In their racist zeal, they were throwing out the original truths and replacing them with popular error. The early Church of God, with its now-derided leaders, should’ve NEVER attempted to power-share! It only led to disaster. They foolishly enabled their “equals” to oust them (3 John 9, 10).
Not everyone was thrilled about all the changes taking place. The flood of “new truths” had come so fast and furious, many were caught off guard (Rev.12: 15). They were simply unprepared for this “scholarly” onslaught (Malachi 2:12). Some expressed concern, others questioned what was going on, but everyone sensed something just wasn’t right. It seemed almost overnight everything they’d been taught was somehow wrong. Now there were DIFFERENT MEANINGS given to biblical words, and supposedly the Church now had a “deeper understanding” of various scriptures.
What was troublesome to longtime members, though, was that these DOCTRINAL DIFFERENCES didn’t enhance or add to whatever they already understood—it took away, undermined, or totally denied what they’d PROVEN to be true. They felt that they shouldn’t give these new “Christians” the time of day (Galatians 2:5) and agreed with the words of the apostle Paul who spoke against adultery, warned about whoring around with foreign gods and alien religions, who condemned mixing and matching biblical truth with pagan error:
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-16).
Therefore, unlike the majority of spiritual drunks and whores, the many who followed after false Christs, they refused to surrender God’s truth, accept a pagan truce, or enter into a marriage of convenience. They knew better! And they weren’t going to deny God’s truth or ignore it—despite charges of “refusing to grow” and “worshiping a man” (Paul). They knew the true source of such slander (Rev.12: 10).
The Faithful Few
"For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted... 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works" (2 Corinthians 11:4).
Those Sabbath-keeping Church of God members, who remained faithful to the original Christian beliefs and authentic practices established in Jerusalem, who didn't succumb to seducing spirits or fall for the many different versions of "Jesus" and other "gospels" attractively offered that they were warned about, were forced to flee for their lives. They became part of the “underground” and got involved in “the resistance movement.” They had to hide out in the mountains and valleys of Europe and Asia Minor to escape persecution and death (Revelation 12: 6).
Beyond the pale of the pope, these “wandering Jews” carried their “Sanctuary” with them, and its attendant truths (Hebrews 11: 38). During their wilderness trek, God’s true Church would retain its unique identity (John 17: 11). Though banished upon penalty of death, these freedom fighters kept the FAITH alive (John 8:32). They knew that God would end their exile, and waited patiently for TRUTH to triumph over tradition.

Warnings about Hitler ignored
Re: Why the Holocaust?
The Jews are only a small but important part of the big family of Jacob-Israel. There are Twelve Tribes of Israel. Hitler's Burnt Offering of Jews (Holocaust/Shoah), after they had been warned by secular and religious alike, by Hitler's own words and the words of the Law and the Prophets, is only a type of the imminent nuclear holocaust that will strike the American, British and Jewish peoples.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE RABBIS?
Death to the American, British & Jewish peoples?
British-Israelites and Jews in Grave Danger
EU to Conquer Anglo-Saxons and Jews
Eli Wiesel is a hypocrite! He can play the smug atheist all he pleases, wring his hands and seek the sympathy of the world that doesn't give a damn, but he - like most Jews - have miserably failed to learn the lessons of Hitler's War against the Jews: there's no lasting place for Jews in the Exile, that such a self-imposed exile will lead to self-destruction (in one way or another), that you must take your enemies at their word, not your wishful thinking (like the delusional "peace" process), and it's necessary to return to the Torah of God and Land of Israel.
Jews Don't Follow Judaism
A Jewish Homeland
Christian Zionists, Jews, and Israel
The Jews are permitting the pagan pope - a Babylonian envoy, a modern day Balaam - to pollute the Holy Land of Israel while the bloody Vatican holds the Temple treasures and Judaica hostage! The Israelis are inviting the German fox into the chicken coop!
The Vatican's hateful stance against Jews and Israel is well known, and yet Jewish sheeple are downplaying or ignoring it to their own peril! Others, like the "indefatigable subversive" Shimon Peres, actively collaborate with the Antiochus Epiphanes of the European Union and will soon see all Israel suffer a brutal betrayal when the German-Jesuit jackboot stomps Jerusalem!
Israel must reject Vatican overtures for peace or lose Jerusalem!
The Vatican plot against Jerusalem exposed!
Pope's Evil Eye on Jerusalem!
Beyond Babylon warns: Beware Roman wolves in sheep's clothing! Europe's New Crusade has its evil eye on Mount Zion and is after the Temple Mount. But they won't listen any more than Joes (descendants of Joseph, the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic peoples), especially the Christian reprobates, since we're a nation of drunks and whores who have been warned to shape up or get shipped out!
Even though Israel and Judah (the British-Israelites and Jews) will soon suffer the worst time in history, the Time of Jacob's Trouble, the Great Tribulation - having failed to take our God-given warning seriously - Two Witnesses in Jerusalem will offer hope and comfort to our captive audience and prepare us to meet our King.

Jesus was a Jew and Jewish
Jesus was a Jew! Jesus was Jewish! This is elementary to most Bible-believers, but some have been horribly misled to believe otherwise.
Yeshua clearly identified with the Jews of His day and their religion (although correcting its errors), His physical people and tribe, and God purposely sent Him to Judah: "He came to His own [Judah], and His own [Judah] did not receive Him. But as many [Jews] as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name...(John 1:11-12) and He clearly said: "You [Gentiles] worship what you do not know; WE [Jews] know what WE [Jews]worship, for salvation is of the JEWS" (John 4:22).
Yeshua also made mention of a Jewess (who He healed) as a physical daughter of Abraham (Luke 13:16), yet those bound by Satan in his murderous lie against Yeshua's own people, the tribe of Judah, the Jews, read right over these plain Scriptures, blinded by their unwarranted hatred! Some are so twisted to even deny Yeshua is of the Tribe of Judah, as He was foretold to be, of the Royal House of David, a Jew (Romans 1:3, 2 Timothy 2:8). In fact, the sign of the virgin birth was given to the Jews, to the House of David, in Bethlehem (where David was born)- not London! (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 2:6, John 7:42).
Peter's sermon on Shavuot/Pentecost addressed Jews in Jerusalem who had gathered from all over the world, as ethnically “Men of Israel" (Acts 2:22) and racially of the "House of Israel" (vs. 36) and preached salvation to them through Yeshua, "For the promise is to you [Judah] and to your children..."(vs. 39), even as Paul later confirmed: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first [His own] and also for the Greek" (Romans 1:16).
Paul makes reference to those unbelieving Jews, who are part of the House of Israel, as his flesh - not just his religion (Romans 11:14). Paul acknowledged Jews as legitimate descendants of Israel, children of the Fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) for whose sakes' they remain beloved despite their present unbelief (Romans 11:28).
The following articles address different points those caught up in doctrines of demons against Jews have fallen for, in the hope some may let the truth set them free, so help them God:
Did Jesus Call Jews the Children of the Devil?
Jesus acknowledged that Abraham is the father of the Jews physically, but not always spiritually (John 8:37, 39, 42, 44). The same can be said and is true about all Twelve Tribes of Israel. In fact, the commission of the Two Witnesses - in the spirit of Elijah - is to restore our relationship with our Fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) and thereby through their true religion reconcile us to our Heavenly Father (Malachi 4:6; Isa. 49:5-6).
Synagogue of Satan?
"And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, but thou art rich and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." (Rev. 2:8-9)
A Jewish Homeland
Did God condemn the Jews to wander until Messiah comes but blessed every other tribe of Israel with a national inheritance?Does that make sense? Is God fair? Is Israel so much holier than Judah? Or could it be, as Herbert W. Armstrong taught in The United States and Britain in Prophecy, that Israel's punishment was to last for 2,520 years (Lev. 26:21)?
David Ben-Ariel Faces the Aryan Nations
My agenda is to serve the Great God of Israel, sharing the plain truth of His Bible and announce His soon coming Kingdom of God-Beings to rule on Earth and save all mankind from extinction. This clarity of mind, vision and purpose also includes serving as an emissary of Joseph (revealing the Israelite origins of the West). This God-given message must reach those high and low, rich and poor, regardless of race or religion.
Aryan Nations to be Deported by Germany!
The Aryan Nations again misses a God-given opportunity to repent of their blind hatred of our Jewish brethren and prefer to believe the idolatrous ideas of deceived and deceiving men over the Word of God.
The Oracles of God
God's empowered the Jews - despite themselves - to preserve His Word. They are the only people on Earth that God has blessed and ordained to fulfill such a calling! God will not retract His Word or renege on this gift and responsibility that He's graciously bestowed upon Judah.
The Pharisees
Who isn't aware of the sins of the Pharisees? Especially the Accuser of the Brethren? But does that mean the truths they teach, even if they don't live them, are no longer true?
Jesus GAVE His Life To Give Us LIFE!
The passionate anti-Semites/anti-Zionists would do well to note Jesus' words of life and forgiveness: "FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, for they know not what they do...". Who are puny men to continue a blood libel against every Jew for the actions of a relative few?
God is with the Jews!
Zechariah 8:23"Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'In those days ten men [representatives of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel?] from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.""
Christian Zionists, Jews, and Israel
I am a Bible-believer, a Christian-Zionist (one who believes the Prophets foretold the restoration of Jews first of all 12 Tribes of Israel to the Promised Land of Israel before the end of this world as we know it). I am not a Protestant or a "Jew for Jesus" and certainly not a member of the Roman Catholic Cult. I am a baptized member of the Sabbath-keeping Church of God...
Israel and Judah Must Get House in Order Before King Messiah Arrives
According to the rabbis, the "Lost Ten Tribes" are for all intents and purposes "Gentiles." This information constitutes further proof that the "Lost Ten Tribes" are not those diverse claimants (African, Indians, Burmese) who maintain remnants of Judaism from somebody's former conversion or contact with the religion of Judaism.
Jews to Receive Jesus as Israel's King!
Is there strong indication in the Bible that Israel will have a change of heart and accept Yeshua because of the preaching of two prophets in Jerusalem, the Two Witnesses announced in Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11?
Socialist Income Tax
"I don't like the income tax. Every time we talk about these taxes we get around to the idea of 'from each according to his capacity and to each according to his needs'. That's socialism. It's written into the Communist Manifesto. Maybe we ought to see that every person who gets a tax return receives a copy of the Communist Manifesto with it so he can see what's happening to him."

The Bible's influence on America
The Bible's influence on America
By George Konig

With all that's going on in Alabama in the fight over the stone monument of the 10 Commandments, I came across some interesting quotes from some of our most famous statesmen, including some of our most influential presidents and some of the founding fathers of this country.
Some people like to claim that some of the founding fathers of our nation were not Christian, as though that would be reason enough to erase any mention of God from every public place in America. And, very often, the very first example they give is Thomas Jefferson, claiming that although he believed in God, he was not a Christian. Well, no one other than Thomas Jefferson himself, and God himself, really know the full story of his beliefs, but we do have this quote from Jefferson as to what he thought about the Christian Bible:
"I have always said, I always will say, that the studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands."
- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), 3rd President of the United States.
And Jefferson wasn't the only early U.S. president who felt this way:
"So great is my veneration for the Bible, that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens to their country and respectable members of society."
- John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), 6th President of the United States.
An American legal scholar who was a contemporary of President Adams spoke of the Bible in a similar way, with additional detail:
"The general diffusion of the Bible is the most effectual way to civilize and humanize mankind ; to purify and exalt the general system of public morals ; to give efficacy to the just precepts of international and municipal law ; to enforce the observance of prudence, temperance, justice and fortitude ; and to improve all the relations of social and domestic life."
- James Kent (1763-1847), American legal scholar.
There are many other comments about the Bible's impact on America by past presidents and statesmen. If you wish to learn more about the Bible, consider visiting www.about-jesus.org/bible.htm. Some of our past presidents not only believed that the Bible helped shape the establishment of our country, they also believed that the Bible is needed to guide our future:
"Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties ; write its precepts in your hearts, and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization, and to this we must look as our guide in the future."
- Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), 18th President of the United States.
The above quotations truly are only a small sampling of similar quotes about the Christian Bible's impact on the United States. If there is any doubt in your mind about the Bible's influence on America, here's one more quote from a U.S. president:
"That Book, sir, is the rock on which our republic rests."
- Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), 7th President of the United States.

Brushfires of freedom
Brushfires of freedom
By Ben Thompson
Throughout the history of mankind there have been tyrants who are more than willing to takeaway our God-given freedoms for their own selfish purposes. More importantly, there have also have always been a few courageous patriots who have been willing to give their all to protect those freedoms. Our Founding Fathers are an excellent example of the latter.
Thomas Jefferson: "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." — Thomas Jefferson
At the time of the American Revolution a substantial majority of Americans (colonists) were NOT willing to confront Great Britain. It took the courage of LEADERS like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, among others, to stand up to King George's oppressive regime and formidable armed forces.
"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." — Samuel Adams
This nation was founded by courageous, humble, selfless individuals — statesmen, soldiers, farmers, housewives, businessmen and blue collar workers, who were willing to give their lives, reputations and honor in exchange for our freedom.
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." — Thomas Paine
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks." — Samuel Adams
They created and supported the divine Founding Documents- the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which define and guarantee our God-given rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (property).
President John F. Kennedy stated: "Our rights come from God, not government."
Thomas Jefferson: "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not violated but with his wrath?"
In these inspired writings the Founders put first things first.
The first God-given right in the Declaration is "life." The first function of the Constitution is "to form a more perfect Union." The first right in the Bill of Rights is freedom to worship, without government interference.
Why did the Founders place these items first? Because they knew that the surest way to maintain all of our freedoms was to protect the three firsts: Life, preserving the union and freedom of worship.
During the past 225 years We the People have allowed wolves in sheep's clothing to enter our freedom flock and destroy many of our natural rights:
Thirty years of abortions have killed 40,000,000 innocent human beings.
God, prayer and the Ten Commandments are being desecrated, demeaned and removed from our public lives.
High taxes have forced mothers into the workforce and our children and society are suffering the consequences.
Socialists are overtaking our education system, re-writing history and preparing our children to live under a governing system of total dependence, at the expense of the independence, individual responsibility and opportunity, for which our brave soldiers have fought and died.
Our right to self-defense, to protect our family, neighbors, community and nation is being threatened by self-righteous elitists who want to control every aspect of our lives.
Where are the leaders today who are willing to make the sacrifices that our Founders made in order to establish and secure our precious freedoms? Do we find them in Washington D.C.?
Do we find them in our churches? What has become of the true American patriot?
What can be done to reverse this self-destructive journey that is rapidly leading to this nation's demise?
The real question today is do we even have adequate numbers these tireless patriots who are willing to lay their very lives on the line by starting brushfires of freedom wherever they may live?
The answers lie in first asking ourselves how were our founders able to develop the necessary character traits which compelled them to such indomitable actions?
Our Founders themselves have given us the clear answer: it is because they were true Christians after the manner of Jesus Christ Himself.
Thomas Jefferson: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator."
One of our greatest challenges in today's society is finding true Christians who will not compromise their claimed principles for the sake of political expediency or for desired influence or power. We often hear from those religionists, who claim to be Christians, but they lack faith when confronted by those whom they think have power and influence.
Patrick Henry: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."
Who are these "religionists"? Where do we find these false Christians and false patriots in today's society?
"The religion builders have so distorted and deformed the doctrines of Jesus, so muffled them in mysticism, fancies and falsehoods, have caricatured them into forms so unconceivable, as to shock reasonable thinkers.....Happy the prospect of a restoration of primitive Christianity.
"The truth is, that the greatest enemies of the doctrine of Jesus are those calling themselves the expositors of them, who have perverted them to the structure of a system of fancy absolutely incomprehensible, and without any foundation in His genuine words." — Thomas Jefferson
Unfortunately we find them all around us, in our churches, elected officials, courts of justice, schools.
How can we recognize these wolves in sheep's clothing?
They are the compromisers, the middle of the roaders, the marshmallow, cotton candy ministers, legislators, judges and teachers who are afraid to stand up for godly and constitutional principles when the heat is on. They believe in peace at any price, even if it means giving up our God-given freedoms of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
"...[W]e live in a great and free country only because our forefathers were willing to wage war rather than accept the peace that spells destruction." — Teddy Roosevelt
Whose responsibility is it to oust these phony naysayers? It is clearly and profoundly We the People's responsibility, that's who!
"If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own — that thing is the preservation of their own liberties and institutions." — Abraham Lincoln
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." — Plato
"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature ... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces." — President James Garfield in 1877
Noah Webster had it exactly right:
"When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers 'just men who will rule in the fear of God.' The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes; Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a Republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws."
What specifically do We the People need to do to prepare ourselves to be capable doing our godly duty of electing good and wise people to office and maintaining our god-given freedoms?
First of all, we need to be true and courageous Christians. We need to be willing to follow Christ's example in our daily lives and those undaunted examples of our Founding Fathers and brave patriots, by organizing ourselves and acting upon the principles we believe in.
From President Andrew Jackson, the declaration: "The Bible is the rock on which this Republic rests."
We need to elect to office on the local, state and national levels men and women who will not compromise the basic principles of our Founding documents for the sake of political expediency. How can we do this?
Each American needs to stand up and be counted. God will not bless us if we sit on our couches or in our coffee shops and complain but take no action.
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." — Edmund Burke
"To sit home, read one's favorite newspaper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing." — Theodore Roosevelt
We need to educate ourselves about the important issues that effect our daily lives — the right to life, the right to worship, freedom of expression, the importance of a quality education for our children and grandchildren, the right to protect ourselves.
"This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins." — Ben Franklin
One of the most important challenges we as Americans have is making sure that we understand the basic principles underlying the U. S. Constitution so that we can be well-informed and elect folks to office that will honor that divinely inspired document.
Thomas Jefferson stated: "On every question of Construction (of the Constitution) lets us carry our-selves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
It is unfortunate that so many citizens, elected officials and judges just plain have no idea what the Constitution should mean to us in our daily lives and what each of us needs to do to keep that sacred document alive and well.
"Most Americans aren't the sort of citizens the Founding Fathers expected; they are contented serfs. Far from being active critics of government, they assume that its might makes it right." — Joseph Sobran
Our Founders pledged their lives, families, honor, property, literally all they had, so that we could be blessed by adhering to the principles of the Constitution.
When the British government made the Church of England the state religion and persecuted those devout worshipers who chose other religions the stage was finally set for migration to the new world, as a place where each could worship according to the dictates of his own conscience.
Then, we need to take action, to seek, find, support and elect to office those courageous individuals who will support and defend the principles of the Constitution, at all costs.
Most of the political rhetoric we hear today from elected officials, party leaders and candidates, from both sides of the isle, is that of compromising away the principles of the Constitution. Rather than sticking their necks out to stand up for what is right they claim that staying in the "middle of the road" and "coming together" is the only way to make progress. Nonsense.
"Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." — Thomas Paine
"Always stand on principle even if you stand alone." — President John Adams
"Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." — Thomas Paine
We need to study the scriptures and the Constitution, attend church, school board, city council, county board and other important meetings and speak out for the principles of Christianity and divine, constitutional principles of freedom. If we do anything less we do not deserve to be called true Christians, nor do we deserve the freedom for which our brave soldiers die every day.
We need to be willing to fight for the return of Christian principle to the classroom.
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies, is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
"Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure ourselves what that life would be if these standards were removed. We would lose almost all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves." — Theodore Roosevelt
It is only if We the People are willing to stand up for truth and right that positive changes will take place in our society.
Benjamin Franklin said, "He who shall introduce into the public affairs the principles of a primitive Christianity, will change the face of the world."
It has been said that you can lead a horse to water but you make him drink. If we wish to have a positive permanent influence to change people's lives for good it needs to come from the inside; the heart needs to change and the rest will follow.
Thomas Jefferson: "The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart."
We may also be amazed at how much can be accomplished by a few and how widespread our local efforts may eventually become.
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do." — Edward Everett Hale
"...[I]t is a common observation here that our cause is the cause of all mankind, and that we are fighting for their liberty in defending our own." — Benjamin Franklin
"I hear many condemn these men [Founding Fathers] because they were so few. When were the good and the brave ever in a majority?" -Henry David Thoreau
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." — Mark Twain
George Washington said, "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
If we are not indeed willingly to learn and live the Christian principles that we claim to believe; if we are not willing to stand up for the truth of God and the Constitution what will be the results?
President John Adams advised: "Statesmen...may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.... The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a greater Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty."
"It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord;
"And, insomuch as we know that by his divine law Nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishment and chastisement in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war which now desolates the land may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our nation reformation as a whole people?
"We have the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all of these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom or virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
"It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the Offended power, to confess our national sins, and pray for clemency and forgiveness." — President Abraham Lincoln.
Of what great national sins are we presently guilty which resulting in the withholding of God's blessings and justifying God's punishment?
What sin is greater and more deserving of punishment than allowing, through edict of the supreme court, the taking of over 40,000,000 innocent lives. This heinous act of infanticide and genocide in direct violation of our first God-given right: the right to life.
There are many important issues in this country which We the People need to deal with and correct, but none is more urgent and crucial that protect the innocent unborn. If we can't eliminate this devilish practice the Lord will certainly not bless us, let alone withhold deserved punishment.
9-11 is a timely example of how God reminds us that we need to repent. Unfortunately, among most Americans, the positive effects of this monumental reminder did not last long.
There are many ways to slay this satanic abortion dragon, but legal remedies can be the most effective IF we properly and effectively used the organic (Declaration and Constitution) law of the land as the basis upon which we present our legal argument.
"At the heart of the controversy in these cases are those recurring pregnancies that pose no danger whatsoever to the life or health of the mother but are, nevertheless, unwanted for any one or more of a variety of reasons — convenience, family planning, economics, dislike of children, the embarrassment of illegitimacy, etc. ... I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. ... As an exercise of raw judicial power, the Court perhaps has authority to do what it does today; but, in my view, its judgment is an improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review that the Constitution extends to this Court." — Justice Byron R. White — dissenting opinion.
"Our Supreme Court's decision in Roe is certainly not the final word on the issue of abortion, just as the Court was not the final word on slavery in Dred Scott. Our system gives us the opportunity to rectify past wrongs. It is my fervent hope and prayer for America that we base our laws on what science tells us: namely, that the young human embryo is a human life. I believe that I will live to see the end of the abortion industry, and the sanctity and dignity of every human life affirmed. Until then, abortion will continue to prod the conscience of our nation. Great labors remain before us, but the rights and lives of unborn children are absolutely worth our efforts. Reagan was our first great pro-life president, and surely others will follow in his footsteps. His legacy endures and the pro-life movement continues to make steady progress. We have come a long way since Reagan's 1983 essay, and we have a long way to go, but we are on the right track. On behalf of the unborn, let us pray and persevere; and may God bless America." — Senator Sam Brownback
The consequences of substituting the opinions of unelected federal judges for the plain text of the Constitution[5] is described by Justice Scalia[6]:
"[W]hen a strict interpretation of the Constitution, according to the fixed rules which govern the interpretation of laws, is abandoned, and the theoretical opinions of individuals are allowed to control its meaning, we have no longer a Constitution; we are under the government of individual men, who for the time being have power to declare what the Constitution is, according to their own views of what it ought to mean." Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393, 621 (1857) (Curtis, J., dissenting).
Both the Declaration and Constitution are pro-life documents.
The 5th and 14th Amendments use the same language as does the Declaration in describing our three most fundamental and important God-given rights- "Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (property)." These three should trump all other constitutional rights, when courts need to make such determinations.
"It is a misnomer to call a government republican in which a branch of the supreme power [the judiciary] is independent of the nation." — Thomas Jefferson
But until We the People have the courage kick out pro-abortion legislators and judges our unborn children will continue to suffer and this nation will continue on its downward path to self-destruction.
"[T]he candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, . . . the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal." President Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address (Mar. 4, 1861), reprinted in Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the United States, S. Doc. No. 101-10, p. 139 (1989).
"One single object...[will merit] the endless gratitude of the society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation." — Thomas Jefferson
"For liberty, we need a respected judiciary. For the sake of preserving our liberty, we need to insist that the courts begin again to deserve the respect from a free people that makes their work possible. Bringing such discipline to the judiciary is, at bottom, a political task. It is one more essential job that only a principled and vigilant citizenry can accomplish." — Alan Keyes
The next satanic dragon which we need to slay, one that also has a profound destructive effect on society, is the sin of homosexuality. The scriptures make it abundantly clear that the Lord created a man and a woman (Adam and Eve) to procreate human life upon this earth. The unions of men with men and women with women, or any ungodly combination thereof, are gross and devilish acts, which cannot be tolerated by a Christian people.
In dealing with homosexuality we need to follow the Savior's example- hate the sin and love the sinner. These unfortunate folks, who have been fool by Satan's minions, can be saved through tough love and can return to lead the normal and productive lives of a traditional family, with its attendant blessings.
We the People must be willing to give our all to set these brushfires of freedom throughout America. If we will God will bless us and our beloved country.

Throughout the history of mankind there have been tyrants who are more than willing to takeaway our God-given freedoms for their own selfish purposes. More importantly, there have also have always been a few courageous patriots who have been willing to give their all to protect those freedoms.

Thomas Jefferson: "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." — Thomas Jefferson

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." — Samuel Adams
This nation was founded by courageous, humble, selfless individuals — statesmen, soldiers, farmers, housewives, businessmen and blue collar workers, who were willing to give their lives, reputations and honor in exchange for our freedom.
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." — Thomas Paine

"...[W]e live in a great and free country only because our forefathers were willing to wage war rather than accept the peace that spells destruction." — Teddy Roosevelt
Whose responsibility is it to oust these phony naysayers? It is clearly and profoundly We the People's responsibility, that's who!
"If there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but their own — that thing is the preservation of their own liberties and institutions." — Abraham Lincoln
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." — Plato
"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature ... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces." — President James Garfield in 1877
Noah Webster had it exactly right:
"When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers 'just men who will rule in the fear of God.' The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes; Corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a Republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws."
What specifically do We the People need to do to prepare ourselves to be capable doing our godly duty of electing good and wise people to office and maintaining our god-given freedoms?
First of all, we need to be true and courageous Christians. We need to be willing to follow Christ's example in our daily lives and those undaunted examples of our Founding Fathers and brave patriots, by organizing ourselves and acting upon the principles we believe in.
From President Andrew Jackson, the declaration: "The Bible is the rock on which this Republic rests."
We need to elect to office on the local, state and national levels men and women who will not compromise the basic principles of our Founding documents for the sake of political expediency. How can we do this?
Each American needs to stand up and be counted. God will not bless us if we sit on our couches or in our coffee shops and complain but take no action.
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." — Edmund Burke
"To sit home, read one's favorite newspaper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing." — Theodore Roosevelt
We need to educate ourselves about the important issues that effect our daily lives — the right to life, the right to worship, freedom of expression, the importance of a quality education for our children and grandchildren, the right to protect ourselves.
"This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins." — Ben Franklin
One of the most important challenges we as Americans have is making sure that we understand the basic principles underlying the U. S. Constitution so that we can be well-informed and elect folks to office that will honor that divinely inspired document.
Thomas Jefferson stated: "On every question of Construction (of the Constitution) lets us carry our-selves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
It is unfortunate that so many citizens, elected officials and judges just plain have no idea what the Constitution should mean to us in our daily lives and what each of us needs to do to keep that sacred document alive and well.
"Most Americans aren't the sort of citizens the Founding Fathers expected; they are contented serfs. Far from being active critics of government, they assume that its might makes it right." — Joseph Sobran
Our Founders pledged their lives, families, honor, property, literally all they had, so that we could be blessed by adhering to the principles of the Constitution.
When the British government made the Church of England the state religion and persecuted those devout worshipers who chose other religions the stage was finally set for migration to the new world, as a place where each could worship according to the dictates of his own conscience.
Then, we need to take action, to seek, find, support and elect to office those courageous individuals who will support and defend the principles of the Constitution, at all costs.
Most of the political rhetoric we hear today from elected officials, party leaders and candidates, from both sides of the isle, is that of compromising away the principles of the Constitution. Rather than sticking their necks out to stand up for what is right they claim that staying in the "middle of the road" and "coming together" is the only way to make progress. Nonsense.
"Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." — Thomas Paine
"Always stand on principle even if you stand alone." — President John Adams
"Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." — Thomas Paine
We need to study the scriptures and the Constitution, attend church, school board, city council, county board and other important meetings and speak out for the principles of Christianity and divine, constitutional principles of freedom. If we do anything less we do not deserve to be called true Christians, nor do we deserve the freedom for which our brave soldiers die every day.
We need to be willing to fight for the return of Christian principle to the classroom.
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies, is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."
"Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure ourselves what that life would be if these standards were removed. We would lose almost all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves." — Theodore Roosevelt
It is only if We the People are willing to stand up for truth and right that positive changes will take place in our society.
Benjamin Franklin said, "He who shall introduce into the public affairs the principles of a primitive Christianity, will change the face of the world."
It has been said that you can lead a horse to water but you make him drink. If we wish to have a positive permanent influence to change people's lives for good it needs to come from the inside; the heart needs to change and the rest will follow.
Thomas Jefferson: "The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart."
We may also be amazed at how much can be accomplished by a few and how widespread our local efforts may eventually become.
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do." — Edward Everett Hale
"...[I]t is a common observation here that our cause is the cause of all mankind, and that we are fighting for their liberty in defending our own." — Benjamin Franklin
"I hear many condemn these men [Founding Fathers] because they were so few. When were the good and the brave ever in a majority?" -Henry David Thoreau
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." — Mark Twain
George Washington said, "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
If we are not indeed willingly to learn and live the Christian principles that we claim to believe; if we are not willing to stand up for the truth of God and the Constitution what will be the results?
President John Adams advised: "Statesmen...may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.... The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a greater Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty."
"It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord;
"And, insomuch as we know that by his divine law Nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishment and chastisement in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war which now desolates the land may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our nation reformation as a whole people?
"We have the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all of these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom or virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
"It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the Offended power, to confess our national sins, and pray for clemency and forgiveness." — President Abraham Lincoln.
Of what great national sins are we presently guilty which resulting in the withholding of God's blessings and justifying God's punishment?
What sin is greater and more deserving of punishment than allowing, through edict of the supreme court, the taking of over 40,000,000 innocent lives. This heinous act of infanticide and genocide in direct violation of our first God-given right: the right to life.
There are many important issues in this country which We the People need to deal with and correct, but none is more urgent and crucial that protect the innocent unborn. If we can't eliminate this devilish practice the Lord will certainly not bless us, let alone withhold deserved punishment.
9-11 is a timely example of how God reminds us that we need to repent. Unfortunately, among most Americans, the positive effects of this monumental reminder did not last long.
There are many ways to slay this satanic abortion dragon, but legal remedies can be the most effective IF we properly and effectively used the organic (Declaration and Constitution) law of the land as the basis upon which we present our legal argument.
"At the heart of the controversy in these cases are those recurring pregnancies that pose no danger whatsoever to the life or health of the mother but are, nevertheless, unwanted for any one or more of a variety of reasons — convenience, family planning, economics, dislike of children, the embarrassment of illegitimacy, etc. ... I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. ... As an exercise of raw judicial power, the Court perhaps has authority to do what it does today; but, in my view, its judgment is an improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review that the Constitution extends to this Court." — Justice Byron R. White — dissenting opinion.
"Our Supreme Court's decision in Roe is certainly not the final word on the issue of abortion, just as the Court was not the final word on slavery in Dred Scott. Our system gives us the opportunity to rectify past wrongs. It is my fervent hope and prayer for America that we base our laws on what science tells us: namely, that the young human embryo is a human life. I believe that I will live to see the end of the abortion industry, and the sanctity and dignity of every human life affirmed. Until then, abortion will continue to prod the conscience of our nation. Great labors remain before us, but the rights and lives of unborn children are absolutely worth our efforts. Reagan was our first great pro-life president, and surely others will follow in his footsteps. His legacy endures and the pro-life movement continues to make steady progress. We have come a long way since Reagan's 1983 essay, and we have a long way to go, but we are on the right track. On behalf of the unborn, let us pray and persevere; and may God bless America." — Senator Sam Brownback
The consequences of substituting the opinions of unelected federal judges for the plain text of the Constitution[5] is described by Justice Scalia[6]:
"[W]hen a strict interpretation of the Constitution, according to the fixed rules which govern the interpretation of laws, is abandoned, and the theoretical opinions of individuals are allowed to control its meaning, we have no longer a Constitution; we are under the government of individual men, who for the time being have power to declare what the Constitution is, according to their own views of what it ought to mean." Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393, 621 (1857) (Curtis, J., dissenting).
Both the Declaration and Constitution are pro-life documents.
The 5th and 14th Amendments use the same language as does the Declaration in describing our three most fundamental and important God-given rights- "Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (property)." These three should trump all other constitutional rights, when courts need to make such determinations.
"It is a misnomer to call a government republican in which a branch of the supreme power [the judiciary] is independent of the nation." — Thomas Jefferson
But until We the People have the courage kick out pro-abortion legislators and judges our unborn children will continue to suffer and this nation will continue on its downward path to self-destruction.
"[T]he candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, . . . the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal." President Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address (Mar. 4, 1861), reprinted in Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the United States, S. Doc. No. 101-10, p. 139 (1989).
"One single object...[will merit] the endless gratitude of the society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation." — Thomas Jefferson
"For liberty, we need a respected judiciary. For the sake of preserving our liberty, we need to insist that the courts begin again to deserve the respect from a free people that makes their work possible. Bringing such discipline to the judiciary is, at bottom, a political task. It is one more essential job that only a principled and vigilant citizenry can accomplish." — Alan Keyes
The next satanic dragon which we need to slay, one that also has a profound destructive effect on society, is the sin of homosexuality. The scriptures make it abundantly clear that the Lord created a man and a woman (Adam and Eve) to procreate human life upon this earth. The unions of men with men and women with women, or any ungodly combination thereof, are gross and devilish acts, which cannot be tolerated by a Christian people.
In dealing with homosexuality we need to follow the Savior's example- hate the sin and love the sinner. These unfortunate folks, who have been fool by Satan's minions, can be saved through tough love and can return to lead the normal and productive lives of a traditional family, with its attendant blessings.
We the People must be willing to give our all to set these brushfires of freedom throughout America. If we will God will bless us and our beloved country.
