I have heard and read a couple of comments by O'Reilly regarding his "Killing Jesus" book. He calls Jesus a revolutionary. He says that his new book in his "Killing" series will present the story in terms of historic and political events that changed the world. This tracks with the interview he had with Downey and husband on "The O'Reilly Factor" prior to the Bible episodes beginning. He asked Downey their take on the Bible. She replied to the effect that they just wanted to present the stories. OReilly's reply related to his own book and said something along the...

Yesterday, when I first heard of the horror shooting incident that took place at the Newtown, CT, elementary school, the Sandy Hook School, I was SHOCKED, SICKEN, and WITH GREAT SORROW by the unfolding of this recent heartbreaking and tragic current event. Hearing about the innocent children who were slaughtered, plus the adults as well, I ended up screaming in HORROR that innocent children, including those who are just beginning their formal learning had no chance to live a life in full. What even SHOCKED me even more was that, the young man who did the killing, a 20-year-old man...

Do you believe the claim Newsweek made in 2009 that “We are all Hindus now”? Phillip Goldberg does. In his book American Veda: How Indian Spirituality Has Changed the West (2010) he makes the compelling case that many Americans have adopted the spiritual Hindu principle of Advaita, meaning “not two,” and now believe that all is “one.” So Bill Clinton uses Eastern meditation, we speak freely of mantras, avatars, karma, mandalas, and…we practice yoga. Yoga is big in Southern California, even among Christians, and even in the schools. Is yoga just exercise, or is it part of the Hinduization of...

Let's take a serious look at the idea of diversity that is bandied about and parroted by some. On the surface, it might appear to be a desireable quality; but is it? Does a field commander, an admiral or a wing commander want diversity or unity in their units? Over many centuries, people have found that in "unity" there is strength -- unit of purpose, language, action and spirit. Diversity will not build a safe skyscraper, airplane, bridge, watch, scales, religious system or army. The strongest political, military, religious and social units are those that are unified, having a common...

Religious groups plan spiritual events while Democrats are in townBy Michael Gordon The Charlotte Observer Posted: Friday, Aug. 17, 2012 >The Rev. James Forbes told convention delegates in Boston in 2004 that “the Democratic Party had not really spent a lot of time talking about faith and politics.” That won't be a problem in Charlotte. Forbes will be part of a sweeping series of spiritual events tied to the 2012 Democratic National Convention. From mass prayer gatherings by Christians and Muslims to speeches and programs, the City of Churches plans to live up to its name. Several congregations will offer...

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola translated by Elder Mullan [1914] These are the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, a plan of contemplation to be carried out over about a month. St. Ignatius of Loyola (1419-1556) was the founder of the Jesuits, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. He published the Spiritual Exercises in 1548. The Exercises were intended for use during a retreat; and are a central part of the first year training of Jesuit novitiates. However, one does not have to be a Jesuit-in-training to take advantage of the Exercises:...

Beloved of spiritualists and bored teenagers on a dare, the Ouija board has long been a source of entertainment, mystery and sometimes downright spookiness. Now it could shine a light on the secrets of the unconscious mind. The Ouija, also known as a talking board, is a wooden plaque marked with the words, "yes", "no" and the letters of the alphabet. Typically a group of users place their hands on a movable pointer , or "planchette", and ask questions out loud. Sometimes the planchette signals an answer, even when no one admits to moving it deliberately. Believers think the answer...

The Spiritual Works of Mercy Mercy is a virtue. It compels us to alleviate the suffering of another. The Church presents us with 7 spiritual and 7 corporeal works of mercy. These are ways in which we can practice charity to others and thus bring about tremendous good in the world. The practice of these works is required of all of us. These works are binding. Though it may not always be possible to practice them, as the situation does not present itself to perform these works at all times, we should always take the opportunities to live by...

“Israel was established by a UN resolution in 1947,” AP quoted Rajoub as saying. “I think our right is to go to the UN and ask them to implement the other birth certificate for the other state.” Referring to the possibility of a third Arab intifada, Rajoub said violence was “not on our schedule.” These comments are in line with ones recently made by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, who said in April that the second intifada in 2000 was ‘disastrous’ for the ‘Palestinian nation’ and said he ‘would not accept’ a third intifada even if current peace efforts fail. One...

Jesus and His Spirit, The Holy Ghost, is your answers!

The Australian: July 31, 2010, and a newspaper reader is puzzled. “Julia Gillard said ‘we all pray for Kevin Rudd’s speedy recovery’. Who the hell does an atheist pray to?” It’s a fair question. For the record, I hold the position that all men - consciously or otherwise – believe in some higher power. And, if one has faith in the media-created “rational man” then one is more faithful than Saint Paul. This idea of the soulless human is science fiction, and more fiction than science. Still, it’s an attractive myth because some seek to stand apart, to see themselves...

This song is to the tune of the Scottish song, Lock Lomond and my wife and I put these words to it. The inspiration came from the scripture in Revelations: Revelation 22: 1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Tzippe Barrow sums it up in one sentence: "They don't believe the Bible is the Word of God so they don't accept the validity of a Jewish homeland either." Read it all! This is the real root cause of all the hostility directed against Israel. Even among some misguided Christians who have bought in to the lie of Supercessionist Replacement theology.

This is true and other EVP’s I have of Johnny saying he was a general laborer and his work killed him in the 1910 and this took place in the Clay County Florida!

Measuring Spiritual Progress – (http://www.thatchristianwebsite.com/articles/progress.html)Our society is fascinated with measuring things. As early as kindergarten, children are taught to use a ruler and think about measures. Physicians measure height, weight, circumferences, blood pressure, pulse, temperature, blood counts, and more. Sports organizations measure kicks, throws, shots, jumps, running speeds, arm and leg strength, and scores. Humans are also fascinated with measurements in the weather: humidity, highs and lows, dew points, rainfall, and wind speed and direction. In business all kinds of things are measured: sales, quotas, employment, terminations, production, etc. And let’s not even get started on how many things the...

The Spiritual Works of Mercy Part Three of Virtue & Vice:The Outward Expression of Interior Charity The Spiritual Works of Mercy must be front and center as we begin Lent. As soldiers of Christ and bearers of the Truth, if we fail to observe and practice the Seven Spiritual Works of Mercy then we are, as St. Paul says in this past Sunday's Epistle - "a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal" and have lost the true meaning of charity which must come from the heart beating as one with the Sacred Heart.   "Our own salvation may very well...

Yet when quiet, peaceful times slip through, that call to prayer is forgotten—except for the anti-God evangelists. They up their antagonism against God by threatening to secularize the nation.

Searchable Prophecy Database « Back to Main Menu Printer FriendlyPrinter friendly version 10/25/2009 From Memphis, TN October 25, 2009 - Memphis, TN "For there has been a scheme and a plan against the President of this nation, to suffocate him. God says, The enemy has planned in 2010 to bring shame to the first African President. So that they will say, 'Never again shall an African American be the President of the United States.' This will not happen says the Lord. This will not happen. This will not happen. There shall come a change in the early part of 2010...

American Muslim leaders at the J Street Conference this week know exactly what J Street's real agenda is: bringing about a distancing in US-Israel relations and besmirching the mainstream Jewish community, under the guise of morality and justice. The pious spiritual claptrap that characterizes J Street's conference in Washington this week is both a conceit and a new form of Jewish apostasy. Conference speakers earnestly broadcast their "profound" Jewish and "spiritual" identities in order to besmirch the mainstream Jewish community and engender a distancing in US-Israel relations. This certainly does not fool the American Muslim leaders who are speaking at...

Our nation was built on a foundation of strong faith, and in some respects, that hasn’t changed. In fact, 69% of Americans believe in God, 77% pray outside of religious services, and 75% believe it’s a parent’s responsibility to give children a religious upbringing. But even though 45% of respondents called themselves religious, 50% said they rarely or never attend worship services. More than a quarter (27%) of respondents said they don’t practice any kind of religion. As books with titles like God Is Not Great and The God Delusion have climbed the best-seller lists in recent years, sociologists have...

Some people are just really good at giving gifts. My friend Tan is one of those people. Shortly before I left on vacation a few weeks ago, Tan and I were having a conversation about babies, which led to a discussion about Blake’s nighttime routine. To sleep soundly, she requires a noise machine and music. I was lamenting the fact that we did not have a viable gadget on which to play music while we were on vacation, and we were worried that she might regress in her sleeping habits. Tan listened and said he knew what I was talking...

The tea parties are a great idea but are simply political protests when the problem is SPIRITUAL! I applaud the efforts of so many citizens who are rising up to protest the out of control spending by our government, the increase in taxes which will stifle corporate and personal financial growth, and the growing concern over the socialist direction our nation is heading. I pray that these efforts will impact those men and women we have elected to office and they will take notice of the concern so many have over the fiscal and political directions of our nation. However,...

When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-18 Every so often in the...

The inauguration of the first African-American president is an historic affair, one that should be properly celebrated by all. But when the so-called “objective” network anchors begin comparing a routine political ceremony to a spiritual awakening, have they gone too far? “Sacred.” “Majesty.” “Sacrament.” “Pilgrimage.” These are words loaded with religious and spiritual meaning. And they’re words used to describe the inauguration of President Barack Obama by CBS, NBC and ABC anchors on their evening and morning news shows. Perhaps the most blatant conflation of politics and spirituality came from CBS chief national correspondent Byron Pitts when he described the...

<p>When deer hunting season starts Saturday in Hanover, whitetails will be in the hunters' sights, but two white deer named Snowflake and Snowball better not be. Deer culling is a top priority in the Morris County town because the animals destroy plants, carry ticks and cause car accidents, yet the 20 recreational bow hunters lined up for the task have been asked to spare two mostly white deer that have become favorites among township residents.</p>

SPIRITUAL PROGRESSION by Pam Clark (pamclark@prophetic.net) The woman at the well had faulty doctrine. Jesus revealed a lot of incredible truth to her. He told her that He was the Messiah, something others had really wondered about for centuries. He told her that God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship in Spirit and in Truth, implying it was more than just form and ritual. This was incredible doctrine. He also told her worship was a matter of the heart, more than just a physical location. He demonstrated the power and doctrine of forgiveness - and He...

3/20/2008 - SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN) -- The Air Force deputy chief of chaplains traveled to Southwest Asia in March to meet Airmen and to speak at the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing's annual National Prayer Breakfast. Chaplain (Brig. Gen.) Cecil R. Richardson was the guest speaker during the breakfast, delivering a message on the United States national motto: 'In God we trust.' The National Prayer Breakfast is "an opportunity for Americans to demonstrate what it means when our Constitution says we can freely exercise our faith," said the chaplain, who assists the Air Force chief of chaplains in overseeing a corps...

In the aftermath of the worst massacre in United States’ history, politicians will be attempting to strategize how to prevent this type of tragedy from happening again. They will develop methods that are mainly political in nature. However, the murdering of over 30 college students is actually spiritual is nature. Therefore, a spiritual solution will be required to eliminate future massacres of this magnitude. Even though it is a spiritual problem, it is not God’s fault. When any crisis such as the Virginia Tech massacre (April 16, 2007) happens, God is blamed for the loss of life. However, in reality,...

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2008 – Troops are being offered spiritual support from a group based in Nashville, Tenn. Strength for Service to God and Country is an ecumenical daily devotional publication for those in service of others. It was first published during World War II, and more than 1 million copies were distributed between that time and the Korean conflict, said Larry Coppock, director of Strength for Service, the group currently filling requests for the publication. “Strength for Service exists to equip and encourage the faiths of American troops,” he said. After the Korean conflict, the publication went out...

Consider the latest fad perpetuated by, or at least partner of the Progressive Left agenda; Atheism. Here we have all the ingredients of the flashiest and most delicate means yet of evading morality ever conceived. Why, the Atheist has it made! Who can question another’s faith whether it be Christian, Buddhist, Mormon or Jew or any other faith? The topic is out of bounds as it should be. The Spiritual basis for one’s faith should never be questioned. This legally enforced right holds true when the topic is one of faith but the entire context of the discussion changes when...

Preacher Dan Smith turned a rap song about babes with booty into a spoof Internet hit, and used it to help create a new church for people who hate church. Dan Smith thinks Christians take themselves too seriously. Pastor Dan Smith's 'Baby Got Book' video, a big hit online, helped him start his Momentum Church. "We can be dorks," he says after Sunday service in suburban Cleveland. "We can be Ned Flanders and basically speak jargon that nobody understands." The 33-year-old pastor has made it his mission to turn the notion of earnest, boring, humorless Christianity on its head —...

Oddly, Bella Pelosi's consiglieres in the Drive-By Media forgot to mention that it was a COLD day in Ilulissat, Greenland when Her Majesty stayed overnight there on Saturday, "observing the global warming". Actually, it was a pretty cold day for May 26 in that part of Greenland ANY year. But I guess it will be a cold day when the MSM actually shares with the peasantry any facts that might throw a monkeywrench in the agenda...

BERLIN - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday she led a congressional delegation to Greenland, where lawmakers saw "firsthand evidence that climate change is a reality," and she hoped the Bush administration would consider a new path on the issue. After meeting with German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel, Pelosi praised Berlin for its leadership on the issue. Her trip comes ahead of next week's Group of Eight summit and a climate change meeting next month involving the leading industrialized nations and during a time of increased debate over what should succeed the Kyoto Protocol, a 1997 international treaty that caps...

Rich must pay bulk of climate change bill: Oxfam By Jeremy Lovell 37 minutes ago Coping with the ravages of global warming will cost $50 billion a year, and the rich nations who caused most of the pollution must pay most of the bill, aid agency Oxfam said on Tuesday. The call, barely 10 days before a crucial Group of Eight (G8) summit in Germany which has climate change at its core, is likely to make already tense negotiations even tougher. The United States, which Oxfam says must foot 44 percent of the annual $50 billion bill, is rejecting attempts...

  Mironov Tells Kyoto Experts The World Is Getting CoolerBy Simon ShusterStaff WriterSergei Mironov ST. PETERSBURG -- It was a failure from the start. Russia's biggest conference on the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to fight global warming, began with a speech from a top official who denied that global warming even exists. "In reality, the scientific basis for the protocol is fairly weak," Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov told a crowded opening session of the two-day conference Thursday, which drew more than 200 environmental experts and carbon market participants from around the world. "In the opinion of many experts, the...
