Free Republic

I have asked that Mr. Robinson and the moderators remove my account. I no longer wish to be a part of this website. The response I received was that I must post an opus first. This is my opus. For friends of mine who wish to contact me at any time in the future, I will be over at designeduniverse.com. The prayer thread for President Bush which I started on this hand is in capable hands. I appreciate all who have kept it going and pray that it continues. I also pray that Free Republic will return to the forum...

Psalm 120 1   In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 2   Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 3   What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 4   Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 5   Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6   My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7   I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

Reuters Friday, October 10, 2003; 12:25 PM By Grant McCool NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. doctor who owns a patent on magnetic resonance imaging machines has made a rare public denouncement of the Nobel Prize for Medicine committee, saying it explicitly omitted him from Monday's shared award. In a full page advertisement in The New York Times on Friday and The Washington Post on Thursday, Raymond Damadian, president and founder of Fonar Corp., described the prize as "The Shameful Wrong That Must Be Righted." The advertisement said that the two men who won the Nobel, Paul C. Lauterbur of...

I thank You for the freedom of being an American and pray that You will protect that freedom, by Your grace, so that we may continue to proclaim Your Word openly.

1 Thessalonians 4 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Pluralists of the World Unite!Albert Mohler In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels called for the laboring classes of the world to join the communist revolution and promised assured liberation:  "Workers of the world unite!  You have nothing to lose but your chains."  In similar fashion, the prophets of religious pluralism promise world peace and true spiritual happiness if Christians will just abandon Christianity and join the pluralist revolution.  Ready to join? Of all the doctrines revealed in the Bible, the exclusivity of the incarnation of Jesus Christ stands as the great embarrassment to liberal theologians.  The...

Dear Heavenly Father,I thank You for this day and for the love which You have shown to us all. Lord, I thank You for the fall weather that brings all of the pretty colors and begins the rest that Your creation experiences in the winter. Lord, as we behold the beauty of this land, I pray that it will remind us how truly blessed we are, to live in a country that is free to worship You and free to share You with others. I pray that we will recognize these blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...

Character in Leadership: Does it Really Matter Anymore?Albert Mohler   "Character," said President Calvin Coolidge, "is the only secure foundation of the state."  The controversies swirling around the California recall election may demonstrate that Americans are not certain they agree with President Coolidge's assessment.  Americans seem to be ambivalent about character and uncertain of what citizens can rightly expect of those in political leadership.   The issue of character has been part and partial to American politics from the very beginning.  President George Washington is famously known as a model of character, and in his younger years Washington had...

African touted as Pope's successor By Richard Owen02oct03 THE man tipped to be the first black pope has set out his credentials as the Vatican continues to prepare the public for the death of Pope John Paul II. Following comments from top Vatican official Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger that the Pope was in "very bad" health, the Pope's private secretary Georg Gaenswein said yesterday the 83-year-old pontiff could not walk or stand. "He is a hero for the faithful," Mr Gaenswein said. "The fact he doesn't give up despite his illness makes him even more credible ... When he is no...

Cardinal to faithful: Pray for John Paul Italian newspapers say he has cancer   Peter Goodspeed National Post CREDIT: Massimo Sambucetti, The Associated Press   Pope John Paul II has insisted on carrying out a full schedule of events despite reports he is "reaching the end of the road."   Speculation is swirling around the Vatican that Pope John Paul II is suffering from terminal stomach cancer.Ever since the increasingly frail Pope cancelled a general audience last week because of a reported "intestinal problem," Italian newspapers have been publishing reports, uncontradicted by Church officials, that the 83-year-old Pontiff is suffering...

Furor Over "The Passion:" Mel Gibson and his CriticsAlbert Mohler Mel Gibson must be doing something right, because he has Hollywood in an absolute uproar. His new film, The Passion, has incited one of the hottest Hollywood controversies of recent years--and the film will not even be released for months. The Passion is more than just another movie project for Gibson. The film depicts the passion, death, and crucifixion of Jesus with a realism never before seen on the big screen. Those who have seen the movie describe it as an emotionally wrenching experience. Evangelical Christian columnist Cal Thomas...

Orangutans Facing Extinction Logging has been increasing in recent years, moving away from the river edges into the interior of the forests where the orangutans live, Cheryl Knott said in a telephone interview. Knott studies orangutans in Indonesia's Gunung Palung National Park, home to about 2,500 of the animals, about one-tenth of those in the world. Orangutans live only in Indonesia and Malaysia, said Knott, whose work is sponsored by the National Geographic (news - web sites) Society. While the government of Indonesia has a commitment to protect orangutans, sending in national police periodically, the loggers return when the police...

Not Such a Bright Idea: Atheists Try a New NameAlbert Mohler Daniel Dennett claims that atheism is getting a bad press. The world is filled with religious believers, he acknowledges, but a growing number of atheists lack the respect they deserve. It's time for a new public relations strategy for the godless, Dennett argues, and he has just the plan. The central point of Dennett's strategy is to get rid of the word "atheist." It's too, well, negative. After all, it identifies an individual by what he or she does not believe--in this case the individual does not believe...

Back to previous page New September 2003 issue The tyranny of ‘tolerance’ by Jonathan Sarfati First published in: Creation 25(4) September–November 2003 One of the biggest battles we face concerns the way we use words. One of the most glaring examples is the word ‘tolerance.’ Not long ago, this meant ‘bearing or putting up with someone or something not especially liked.’ However, now the word has been redefined to ‘all values, all beliefs, all lifestyles, all truth claims are equal.’1 Denying this makes a person ‘intolerant,’ and thus worthy of contempt. Where does this leave Christians? Jesus said, ‘I am...

<p>Investigators uncovered fresh mysteries Monday about the way the electricity transmission grid operated in the eastern half of the United States last Thursday in the hours before the nation's largest power blackout occurred.</p> <p>Meanwhile, businesses forced to shut down by the blackout returned to near normalcy Monday. Automakers began turning out cars again and Wall Street trading resumed on time. New York City officials estimated that businesses in the city lost about $1 billion in the blackout. Tallying the economic impact in Ohio and Michigan will take longer because power was slower to return in those areas.</p>

Just thought those Freepers who are keeping track would enjoy this. I kept scrolling and scrolling to find Hillary's book.
