What You Are Not Hearing On The News

Americans are uncertain what to think. Since the events following September 11, many citizens have remained glued to the major new networks, wondering what will happen next. It seems the greatest concern is a chemical or biological attack in a major city, such as New York or Washington.

In days past, most American’s would have ignored any warning of such an assault.  Now, all American’s are concerned about the possibilities. Should there be a concern that such a terrorist attack is possible?

If one listens to all the talking heads on the news channels, the facts and possibilities are confusing. One person states, “America is ready for a biological and chemical attack”, while another despairingly comments, “America is in no way ready for such an attack”. Another specialist believes the substances for such a terrible assault are already in the hands of a few in the nation, while another says he in no way believes the “sleepers” in America have such abilities.

Others have stated they do not believe Osama bin Laden has any ability to produce such materials.

Recently on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson obtained a series of satellite pictures showing the inside of Afghanistan. Not far from the border of Pakistan, a close-up of terrorist camps revealed a mound with a smoke stack. Not far from the smoke stack was a building. The specialist reading the satellite map indicated the area of the smoke stack appeared to be similar to a place where chemical and biological substances were being made and the other building was where they were being tested on animals.  The moment this statement was made, the television screen went blank and a sign came on stating that the video feed was interrupted.  The 700 Club stayed off the air until the program was over, then oddly, the regular programming returned without interruption. I immediately thought that someone interrupted the satellite feed due to information that was being released. At this point, I have not heard of one secular media agency that had reported anything related to chemical or biological possibilities connected to the training camps in Afghanistan.

I received a call that a “gag order” was placed on all persons working in high positions inside the Federal Government Agencies. There are things that have happened and things that have been planned of, which high positioned federal workers are not to speak about to anyone, not even their closest family members.

I can certainly understand the silence.  First of all, the government must separate fact from rumor.  Often the media hypes up a possible situation and could create panic and fear in the hearts of viewers.

No doubt these are the “perilous times” warned of in scriptures.  Our personal faith must be strong and we must seize the opportunity to minister to those near us, who are fearful of the future. I have often said, “You cannot threaten a Christian with dying and going to heaven.” As Paul said, “To live is Christ but to die is gain.”

These are exciting times!

Interesting concept, but Jesus was NOT a pacifist, and Hindu has quite a bit of that forgiveness theme in it as well, see Ghandi...

Oh well, try again....

I'm sorry, but it is just too much fun to stop!!

80 suitcase nukes are missing from the former soviet union's arsenal and it is feared that obl and co. have at least a couple. until these nukes are located, there won't be any action. or, there will be, and *then* we will discover how many obl and co. have.

um, because all other possible gods are dead?

amen. and, while men chase their tails around in circles, the nwo uses the west and islam. the body of Christ needs to focus on the lost and dying in this world, because there is no longer a clear vision of the enemy, other than he is doing satan's bidding all over the world, america included.

Bump!! The most cogent response yet!

[dino1955]

Correction: ONLY the Lord saves...check the facts, please.

[dino1955]

Yes...all creations of man pass away.

[Sparky760]

There are lots of things we have no need to know about

True, but there are many we do

[dino1955]

Forgiveness can only be granted by He who is without sin...all other powers are inferior and limited in scope. But, that's OK, Aric2000...you are just too clever for the rest of us...your potential for reasoning is intimidating...snicker,snicker...Carry on, my friend.

[Deanna Knapp]

Brace yourself...there is NO rapture. Amazing how these terrorists are so committed to their Allah that they will die for him and the so called Christians who were called to pick up their cross and follow Christ..that to die for the cause of Christ was good, are a bunch of cowards who have made up a fly away fairy tale. We will see the separation of the sheep and goats and it won't be in the cloud express. Read your scriptures and quit your escapism mentality. WHAT makes you better than sssooo many martyrs that you should not die for what you believe in? Yes He is coming but not like the churches are portraying it.

Please consider the coolness of the "water into wine" miracle. I wish I had that gift now, I am out of cabernet!

[Tigermoth]

Forgiveness can only be granted by He who is without sin... But isn't suicide a sin ? And if Jesus could have prevented his death on the cross, then did he not commit suicide ?

[Aric2000]

I'm not too clever, I'm just having a conversation. You can think whatever you want, but it's kind of fun, come on, you enjoyed that!! Admit it!!!

[ExiledInTaiwan]

Give your life to Jesus Christ and you will find out! He's real you know. You'll experience Him for yourself-no one has to convince you then. Try it.
