(Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, 56, was elected Primate of Nigeria last week and his elevation could exacerbate tensions at a time when Anglicans are working to build bridges with Muslims. )
Yeah, he’s the problem. God I detest the liberal media.
Yes, and he could expand his vision to include MORE than Africa...Muslims themselves do. As well, Muslims already have control and full insulation against UK opposition to them in the UK. I wonder if the Pres. of Nigeria has written the EU as gone also.
Muslims have a permanent foothold in Europe in general and are really tightening the noose, as they are impatient for demography to work its numbers. Al-Qaeda/Germany are right in the headlines with turmoil evident in the Scandanavian countries and Brussels itself as well.
The Nigerian Pres. is right about Islam in Africa, and it is consistent with an Islamic world-view.
I know that there are countless interpretations and disagreements about when and at what time in history Jesus Christ will return. The arguments have been going on for centuries. But He clearly states that NOBODY knows, not Him, not the angels... only the Father. So to get into a giant argument over when, where and how doesn’t really serve any purpose. It may well be that Zechariah meant another time. I personally don’t think so. However, we can be sure that He is visibly coming back and that we should eagerly long for that moment... because everything going on right now won’t matter anyway. This we can agree on... that the final result of His return will be the judgement and those that trusted in Him will live with Him in His Kingdom forever. And Islam will be ka-put. Amen, brother.
I meant no argument.
It’s just that I’ve always remembered the passage from Matthew 24:30 - “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
So I’ve always thought of it like that, and I’d never read the passage from Zechariah before.
The good news is that the Church leader is speaking up. The bad news is that Muslims have many different methods in their attempts to dominate the world.
They are doing a pretty good job in Russia. They were allowed to have their own independent Islamic state in Chechnya.
One passage that knocked my socks off when I read it was Daniel 9:25. Do you realize that that passage points to the exact day when Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem, Palm sunday? It is a mathematical equation and when you add up the days according to the the Jewish calendar, it points to the the exact day when Jesus let them call him 'King'. Before that time, he always admonished them to not call him King. He fulfills the scriptures. He was waiting for that exact day. so when He said... Luke 19:42 saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes." He was telling them that they should have known that day... in other words they should have read and paid attention to the prophecy of Daniel.
That's why Paul said you should be like the Bereans and search the scripture daily. And when you do.. it's all very exciting... like finding treasure. The more you search, the better it gets.
Possibly no one finds the idea of breeding children for the Muslims to enslave particularly appealing. They don’t have the critical mass needed to keep that from happening and until they do, why offer their children up as bait?
And they will take over by EITC transfer payments.
From the ACORN.ORG website:
Tax Preparation: ACORN provides free tax preparation for low- and moderate-income families in 45 cities with plans to expand to 70 cities by 2006. ACORN provides Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) programs to help low- and moderate-income families, including informing them about the EITC and Child Tax Credit refunds.
A google search for VITA yields:
http://www.vita-irs.org/
http://www.vita-volunteers.org/index.htm
From the above vita-irs.org website "about us" page on May 2006:
Owing to the popular name brand recognition that VITA enjoyed, it now appears that VITA will remain VITA, a part of VRPP. On May 18, 2006 a search on www.irs.gov for "Volunteer Return Preparation Program" returned 9281 results and for "VRPP", 241 results. The results relate to the training materials, testing, quality and a wealth of other information where these terms are used. No definitive description about VRPP itself was found within the first 30 results, so here is an informal and unofficial description."
"VRPP appears to be the name given to an organization that uses volunteer power, and has four main components: (1) VITA - Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (2) Military VITA - same as (1) but focused on Military personnel (3) TCE - Tax Counseling for the Elderly, and (4) AARP - American Association of Retired persons."
From the aforementioned Vita page on Feb 2009:
"On February 27, 2008 a search on www.irs.gov for "Volunteer Return Preparation Program" yielded 21 results and for "VRPP", 5 results. One result was the definition of VRPP in "Helpful Definitions and Acronyms" close to very short definitions of VITA and TCE."
" TCE – Tax Counseling for the Elderly – A program run by trained volunteers, offering free tax preparation services to people 60 years or older.
VITA – Volunteer Income Tax Assistance – A program run by trained volunteers offering free tax preparation services to low-income taxpayers.
VRPP – Volunteer Return Preparation Programs – Programs that provide free tax return preparation assistance, e.g. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE)."

It looks like everybody in Kansas City including the IRS works for ACORN derived organizations.
(And ACORN likes to cheat on income tax returns as demonstrated by the James OKeefe videos.)

Their mission statement:
Mission Statement:
The National Community Tax Coalition seeks to improve the economic well being of low- and moderate-income individuals, families, and communities by building a movement to dramatically increase access to tax credits and benefits and asset-building opportunities.
Building on Coalition affiliates' service delivery and public policy expertise, the Coalition will serve as a unified voice on tax policies and practices impacting our constituents.
The Coalition will improve the effectiveness and impact of affiliates providing tax outreach and assistance and asset-building opportunities, and will work to meet its mission through advocacy, coalition-building, outreach, and capacity-building support to affiliates.
The "Advocacy Central" page states:
The National Community Tax Coalition (NCTC) maintains and expands access to the tax system and tax credits for millions of low-wage workers and their families each year. NCTC focuses in particular on the thousands of working families served by free tax preparation and asset building programs nationwide.
In past years, the EITC has come under Congressional and Administrative attack and affiliates have banded together to fight against drastic cuts in the credit. NCTC and its affliates have also stood strong in the face of proposals that would discourage or deny the EITC to low-income families, specifcally by adopting a pre-certification and targeted audit program of EITC taxpayers. Most recently, NCTC was successful in getting the federal VITA Grant Program adopted, $8 million in new funding to enable free tax preparation programs to extend their desired services into hard-to-reach communities.
In the current climate of Congressional leaders and the President-Elect proposing to make the tax code more progressive, NCTC aims to be the leading advocate for low-wage workers on issues related to fair tax policy and greater financial security. We serve as a trusted resource for affiliates (through the State Advocacy Leaders Network), policy makers, partners, and the media, and we invite you to join the cause!

The EITC is the tax credit that supports unmarried baby-mamas with annual payments for each dependent claimed. EITC was instituted under G.H.W. (read my lips no new taxes) Bush. Apparently, audits of EITC payments from fraudulent tax returns are their biggest concern. So creating fake children to get fake payments must be a booming industry. Tax Fraud with billions of dollars of transfer payments is being carried out with the help of the IRS.
The IRS gives out the names of VITA volunteers for free income tax help according to the vita-volunteers.org website. ....
There are a couple of factors; infant and youth mortality. Because of their culture, Muslims do not live as long as westerners by a significant margin. Too they are culturally dependant like any parasite. Either the host eliminates them (Serbia) or the host dies )Palestine) and the parasite dies too.
Muslims will not take over the west. They may start the next civil war though.
Anglicans from the developing world, particularly Africa, are some of the strongest orthodox, bible-believing Christians you will ever meet.
I personally have met a Nigerian bishop who told how he personally knew men who were murdered, JUST for their faith (by Muslims), nothing else. He told of a preacher who was standing in the pulpit of his village church, practicing his sermon—and the church was set on fire. The fire was so intense the preacher could not escape and was found, burned to death, still behind the pulpit. Only the man’s bible...and the text of his sermon, sitting on the podium, was unburned in this church.
The (true) stories out of Africa today, sound very much like the old stories of Christians v. the Romans of the first few centuries of the Church. Many thousands of genuine martyrs have been made there—all within the last 20 or 30 years.
Interesting point, though I wonder if the mortality issue would be reduced in Europe, for instance. I do expect that the passivity of Europeans to ignore the problem until they are overrun by sheer numbers (I believe it is Sweden already dealing with this). The propensity of Islam to leverage its youth as a fighting force also means that this all may come to a head earlier than many expect... in the manner you suggest.
Thank you.
