US President Joe Biden’s latest bizarre statements, in which he warned that Israel was losing international support because of its “indiscriminate bombing” of the Gaza Strip, are the best gift he could have given to Hamas and its patrons in Iran. By accusing Israel — falsely — of “indiscriminate bombing,” Biden is actually parroting the bogus accusations made by Israel’s fiercest enemies around the world, such as Hamas and Iran’s mullahs, who are trying to stop Israel from defeating a terrorist organization akin to ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Did anyone call for a ceasefire when the US was routing ISIS in...

‘Who created God?’ is an age-old question. Children sometimes ask it because they’re curious. But atheists more commonly ask it because they think it is a ‘gotcha’ question for Christians.So, is it really a ‘gotcha’ question? Does God—like everything else in the universe—need a cause? Or have atheists made an error in logic in assuming this?As Dr Don Batten explains, ‘Who created God?’ has a simple, logical answer—so Christians have no need to be intimidated! On the other hand, atheists have some explaining of their own to do when it comes to first causes!

History is replete with examples of Marxism (satanic influenced depravity and indecency), advancing through society with public expressions of cultural evil, degeneracy and perversion. Boundaries of civility are not just removed; they are destroyed in favor of perversion. The absence of moral behavior in the Senate chamber is not a new phenomenon, but the scale of recent indecency reflects a toxic exhibition of evil as manifest.Personally, I have a very difficult time even discussing this story. It is evil, sick and reflects a level of depravity that makes most people extremely uncomfortable. However, it is also important to put context...

As far back as 2019, Hallmark sparked controversy when homosexual activists began a crusade insisting that Hallmark stop trying to instill traditional conservative family values and start promoting sexual aberrancy in their Christmas movie line-up. The Dissenter covered the saga as Hallmark took heat for playing an ad with lesbians kissing and then took more heat when removing the ad.LGBTQ Nation—a pro-sodomy propaganda website—called on the Lifetime and Hallmark channels to produce and run queer romance movies for Christmas as part of a “diversity” campaign this season. After all, these channels even have movies produced for the “black community” and...

I am talking about normal Christians who do have a working mind. It is a sin for them not to use it. Sure, some folks might be smarter or brighter than others – maybe even have higher IQs and the like. But that is still no excuse. Some Christians will just have to work harder at this and put more effort into it. This is true of all areas of life. In Christ we are to grow and mature in all spheres.The English humourist P. G. Wodehouse once said: “Some minds are like soup in a poor restaurant—better left unstirred.”...

I have noted several times in the past few years that the nature of our relationship with government seems to have shifted. Specifically, We The People now appear to be in an abusive relationship with government. In all abusive relationships there is a common set of behaviors; the DC control system is following a familiar pattern. My recent research trips helped me to understand exactly how severe and deep this shift has become.Certain abusers distort reality in the mind of their victims through gaslighting. Essentially manipulative and strategic lying, to make the abused think something, perhaps even their reality, is...

The Dumbing Down of America is a bold and provocative message from the late Dr. D. James Kennedy revealing the threats to education in our nation. Scripture Reference: Hebrews 2:1-9 Feature Description: The Bible’s clear that ônly fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.ö But God has largely been removed from public education. Educational leaders are pushing an agenda that’s turning our children from faith in God and His purpose for their lives. Let’s take a look at what that agenda is and the solutions put and to it.

In the book 40 Questions About Creation and Evolution (40 Questions Series) by Kenneth D. Keathley and Mark F. Rooker, Kregal Publications, 2014, include a chapter called “Why are Some Evolutionists Opposed to Evolution.” In this chapter, the authors mention the work of James Shapiro (author of Evolution: A View from the 21st century), Jerry Folder and Massimo Piatelli-Palamarini, (authors of What Darwin Got Wrong), and Thomas Nagel (author of Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo- Darwinist Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False). These authors have written about the shortcomings of the Neo-Darwinian paradigm that has dominated academia...

At today’s House Administration Committee hearing, Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) questioned Lonnie Bunch, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.Reviewers: That is really sad… I’m white and was raised to love my fellow Americans… no matter what color. My late father who served in the US NAVY and is buried at the National Veterans Cemetery would be disgusted with what has happened to our countryIt’s one thing to take A document down that you think might be problematic for your organization. It’s another thing to have people working there who thought it was OK to put that up. Look how much time...

One aspect of the post-Christian era in the West is that ordinary Christian views held by ordinary Christian people are almost entirely unknown to a growing portion of our populations. It should not be news that Christians in public positions hold beliefs that virtually all Christians have held for thousands of years and yet, because of the monumental ignorance of the press and several successive generations cut off from their civilizational inheritance by a derelict and deformed public school system, many seem to treat these revelations with shock.

Two men the American mainstream media have relentlessly attacked for years sat down for a riveting conversation this week to discuss the New World Order.On Thursday, Tucker Carlson welcomed InfoWars founder Alex Jones to his X show for the first time.This is a breaking of our will, a demoralization … this designed global collapse,” Jones told an enraptured Carlson. International elites are “hoping we just throw up our hands and run off to the countryside” so they can have full control of the cities and then “march on the countryside … and dig us out.”

The following article is essentially a review of ideas put forward in a book published nearly a century and a half ago but which deserve to be more widely known. What follows should be read as a supplement to discussion of the subject elsewhere, notably in the detailed appendix to Gary Bates’ book Alien Intrusion: UFOs and the evolution connection.1 A lightly-edited version of the latter is available here: Who were the ‘sons of God’ in Genesis 6? We strongly urge anyone who wishes to comment on the present article to read that latter link first.CMI recognises that evangelical Christians...

A new Pew Research Center in-depth report, “Spirituality Among Americans,” revealed that “7 in 10 U.S. adults describe themselves as spiritual in some way, including 22% who are spiritual but not religious.” The 95-page report released on Thursday found that: 83% of all U.S. adults believe people have a soul or spirit in addition to their physical body. 81% say there is something spiritual beyond the natural world, even if we cannot see it. 74% say there are some things that science cannot possibly explain. 45% say they have had a sudden feeling of connection with something from beyond this...

This video is a presentation of material derived from Tyranny of the Left, books 1 and 2, by Finnbarr O’keefe. Review below:If you think the mania of the left is a modern phenomenon, then you need to read this book. This explosive study lays bare the sickness at the heart of the radical left. The hatred, the intolerance, the censorship, the iconoclasms, vandalism, looting and violence that have marred recent years are not aberrations. The left is behaving in the same wild manner that has defined its activism for centuries. Unless confronted, and stopped, it will only get worse. Much...

Visitors to Times Square were in for a surprise on Nov. 27 as its famous billboards became a larger-than-life tribute to the true reason for Christmas:

I’ve written several columns in this space about the weird media meltdown in response to new U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. First, journalists rushed to tell on themselves by mocking the fact that Johnson and his son use Covenant Eyes, an accountability software designed to help people keep their lives porn-free. Then there was the spate of stories breathlessly informing us that Johnson, a self-confessed Christian, does in fact believe all sorts of Christian things. The term “Christian nationalist” has been chucked about quite a bit, although what those using it actually mean is “Christian in the public...

Children and straight men are being encouraged to explore “gay” and “transgender” sexual identities through “mainstream” pornography, staff members of the pornography giant Aylo, which owns Pornhub, said in undercover interviews.In the latest installment of a series of undercover videos released to social media by reporter Arden Young with investigative journalism outfit Sound Investigations, two top Aylo (formerly Mindgeek) employees said pornography has “educational elements to it,” can help children as young as 12 explore their sexual identity and gender, and that homosexual and transgender pornography is now being pushed to straight men to “convert” them.

Many pro-Hamas demonstrations that have been taking place on US campuses since Hamas launched its war on Israel on October 7, when more than 3,000 Hamas terrorists invaded and raped, pillaged, murdered and kidnapped their way through the small communities of southern Israel, have reportedly been led by a radical organization known as National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP).According to a 2018 monograph… NSJP was founded in 2010 by leaders of American Muslims for Palestine and the US Palestinian Community Network, two organizations linked to US-designated terror organizations.

Arguably one of the greatest errors we can fall into when it comes to understanding grace is that ‘It’s all about me and all about now’. This attitude has reached epidemic proportions in Western churches and may well explain our relative lack of resilience and usefulness compared to other parts of the world. Such a view of grace is, however, not only far-removed from what has been true in the church through most of its history, but from the Bible itself. In a way that may seem surprising, Scripture indicates that there is a dimension of grace that we will...

It is not news that Wall Street is Washington's whipping boy lately. The Fed, Rep. Frank, and Fannie Mae can all relax, because they have pushed their culpability on to nefarious Wall Street bankers. Even though the financial meltdown involves trillions of dollars, the millions in Wall Street bonuses are the real problem. The AFL-CIO and a few high tax Democrats smell blood as well, and wants to impose a $50BB per year tax on stock transactions. While this would be yet another barnacle slowing the ship of capitalism, Sen. Schumer wants to steer us straight into an iceberg with...
