Luckily, this story has a happy ending. But how many ordinary Americans have a microphone or a TV show with which to make bureaucratic enormities like this public?
Behold the wages, not of sin, but of the evil known as “political correctness” –

Lest we forget, the Kennedy Center’s forerunner as Washington’s premiere concert hall, Constitution Hall, run by the Daughters of the American Revolution, once tried to ban contralto Marian Anderson for the simple crime of being black. Here she is in action, singing the “Ave Maria” just to make the atheists and Schubert-haters crazy:

Eternal vigilance, indeed.
Fabulous that young Christian used the scripture to shred his false teachings....works every time when the spirit of God moves across the stage of lies and falsehood. Great post and nice to hear our youth are standing in the face of the threat crossing the world now in a “false” front of Christianity.
Wow!....you think this Obama administrative Government is a blessing? This Gov. is most assuredly not a blessing...and we the people have spoken only to be ignored....has nothing to do with us being better people. It has to do with taking out the trash in Washington and regaining the ground God gave us that's been trampled on by an evil and self serving tribe of unbelievers set to destroy this nation and it's people. Blessing????? You are definitely living on another planet.
BTW...telling people they have to do better is exactly the mormonism way .....it will always be the peoples fault and not the leadership nor their false and deceptive ways to mis-lead their people. Rather like the Muslim leadership does with their people.....
I followed him and his 3 or 4 friends out and we all came to know each other, they were Christians that met at each others apartments for bible classes and fellowship, I have never known anyone that knew the bible like that 23 year old guy, the Krishna leader (and scholar) seemed empty and helpless in the face of this kid Christian that was sitting on the floor facing the exalted one's place as the wise teacher, in the room holding hundreds of others sitting on the floor, most that attended had come to witness the high status leader and his profundity, or if already Krishna, to bathe in his wisdom displayed to all the outsiders.
It was the biggest take down that I have ever seen.
This also occurs when people come to your door knocking....quite often they tote along a new convert who is generally all ears....it is generally that individual who will be shaken up and question the teachings after an encounter with a Christian witness.
supposedly??????????? how snarky and unChristian is THAT comment! I am not a Mormon, no plans to become a Mormon, but some of the nicest, kindest, most generous and family-loving people I know are Mormon and that is more than I can say for a lot of people who call themselves other religions.
It was in the late 1970s, so there is no film and if the Krishnas were filming it then they would not have kept it or would not share it, it was incredibly damning.
Sorry you missunderstood blessing are not always great ones sometimes it is a wake up call!
Which half?
or aLL of it?
...and so forth.
TWICE!
Ha ha!
This from someone who says MINDREADING is OK since it's not a religion forum?
Hee hee HEE!
I find this intriguing. I posted excerpts from.
THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER. Preface to the King James Version 1611
(Not Copyrighted)
THE BEST THINGS HAVE BEEN CALUMNIATED
Here are excepts for the responses.
"MEGO!!!!
" "Waz they imporetant ???" "
still no answer as was referring to post 130 this thread, just pulling stuff out of your hat. " "
And your source and do you even UNDERSTAND what is being written." "I’m convinced there is no point,other than to spam out meaningless material.
Obfuscation - very poorly done, but obfuscation none the less - proven by the responses and lack of source citation (where applicable)." "
Does it apply to the thread topic and no, it is not scripture. " "
Then let me clarify - you are citing an essay prefixed to the King James Version in the edition of 1611. It is not the same as the 1611 KJV and is intellectually dishonest to cut/paste without that clarification. "
Did the translators state that the King James Version was inerrent? NO
They stated that they did the best they could from the manuscripts they had. They used other sources to make corrections when it was required.
The “New Spirituality” out there now is the sister of Krishna and Hindu voodoo.That was a tough assignment for that young man to take on. he had to have known scripture well and the meaning of...makes ya wonder how he turned out as an adult...
A major problem that I have is with names, I would love to know where he is today.
Yes there are indeed wake up calls..... just as it is here,..now,.. today,..on this thread....many here shaking you to wake you up Resty.... you awake yet resty? Shake shake!!! It's time to wake up...shake shake..
Well, you still have a wonderful memory of that stupendous occasion, obvious it still impresses you and the blessing of it passed on to this thread still does for us... so many years later...God is so good...:)
...equipping the saints to battle Islam is a good thing...these threads sharpens ones sword...care to duel with those dueling is encouraged.
BTW you have no idea those who are battling Islam who come to these threads...unless they choose to make themselves known...some things are just not for prying eyes to see.
I had a couple of shirts made mocking Islam, does that help?
One says “Crusade against the Mohammedan Death Cult.”
All one can do now is try to stop the bleeding!
Matthew 15:16
"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them.
Matthew 231. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
2. "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
3. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5. "Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
6. they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
7. they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them `Rabbi.'
8. "But you are not to be called `Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.
9. And do not call anyone on earth `father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10. Nor are you to be called `teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ.
11. The greatest among you will be your servant.
12. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
16. "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, `If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.'
17. You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18. You also say, `If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.'
19. You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
20. Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21. And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
22. And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
23. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
24. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
26. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.
28. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous.
30. And you say, `If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
31. So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
32. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
33. "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
34. Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
35. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36. I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.
37. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.
38. Look, your house is left to you desolate.
39. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, `Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.' "
Mark 7:26-27
26. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27. "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
And St. Paul chimes in...
Galatians 5:12
As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
