"I bet you believe the NWO is run by Queen Elizabeth and that we are all being raised as food for the REptilians from Alpha Centauri"

No, that is nonsense.

"I do not know about the skull and cross bones being the center of all evil..."

I agree, they just play a part in a much larger mechanism.

The writers intention may be to smear those that believe that the Skull and Bones is indeed an occult society, but in the process, she is revealing the truth of what goes on behind closed doors.

Wealth is not the problem, the wicked use of that wealth is.

It's not satire.

"Get a life"

Can we get a little more original with the insults?

"During initiation, which involves ritualistic psychological conditioning, the juniors wrestle in mud and are physically beaten—this stage of the ceremony represents their “death” to the world as they have known it. They then lie naked in coffins, masturbate, and reveal to the society their innermost sexual secrets. After this cleansing, the Bonesmen give the initiates robes to represent their new identities as individuals with a higher purpose."

"Several Bonesmen have been senators, congressmen, Supreme Court justices, and Cabinet officials. There is a Bones cell in the CIA, which uses the society as a recruiting ground because the members are so obviously adept at keeping secrets. Society members dominate financial institutions such as J. P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, and Brown Brothers Harriman, where at one time more than a third of the partners were Bonesmen. Through these companies, Skull and Bones provided financial backing to Adolf Hitler because the society then followed a Nazi-and now follows a neo-Nazi—doctrine. At least a dozen Bonesmen have been linked to the Federal Reserve, including the first chairman of the New York Federal Reserve. Skull and Bones members control the wealth of the Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford families."

Ping

"Skull and Bones forces members to confess their entire sexual histories so that the club, as a eugenics overlord, can determine whether a new Bonesman will be fit to mingle with the bloodlines of the powerful Skull and Bones dynasties."

Do you eat with that mouth?

"Do you think as a nation we are morally superior to the SS in Nazi Germany?"

No, as a nation we are not morally superior to the occultist nazi regime.

We are the same.

Like the apostate Israelites who worshipped Moloch, we butcher our children in a solemn offering to the god of our own convenience.

Eugenics 21st century style.

Self willed and full of greed and lust, we excuse the wholesale slaughter of our children.

Didn't anyone else notice that the 911 attacks occurred shortly after Bush made his historic decision on Fetal Stem Cell research?

On August 9, 2001 George W. Bush decided to allow federal funding to go to the research of Stem Cells that had been retrieved by killing children.

"As a result of private research, more than 60 genetically diverse stem cell lines already exist. They were created from embryos that have already been destroyed, and they have the ability to regenerate themselves indefinitely, creating ongoing opportunities for research."

These stem cells are the product of aborted children.

These children were murdered for their body parts and our President has the nerve to offer these monsters OUR tax dollars to continue their sadistic research.

Where is the public outrage?

Why are we allowing our tax dollars to fund human experimentation and murder?

"I have concluded that we should allow federal funds to be used for research on these existing stem cell lines, where the life-and-death decision has already been made."

The president concluded that federal funds should be used where the decision to kill the children had already been made.

The President's decision was over the FEDERAL funding of fetal stem cell research.

What about all of the private funding that the wicked pharmaceutical giants generate and receive through their satanic child sacrifice practices? I wonder how many the President has stock in?

Why do we tolerate such practices?

Do a moral people allow "innocent" children to be butchered for health and wealth?

That's only ONE example of our moral decadence.

We are no better than the nazi's we just hide it better than they did.

In the end, God is Judge.

"But on a graduated scale, we are morally superior to the taliban, abortionists notwithstanding."

I respectfully disagree. As a nation we may be better at hiding our wickedness, but we are guilty of the same sins.

Good post.

The terrorists should be squashed, and so should those that fund and enable them, even if they presently occupy offices within our own government.

God knows all things and no evil will go unpunished.

We are a nation of hypocrites. The USA is not morally superior to any other nation. We are not morally superior to the taliban, nor the Iraqi's.

Our policies have caused thousands of more civilian deaths than theirs have.

We live in a culture that accepts the murder of 4000+ "innocent" children EVERY DAY in our own land.

The twin towers attack claimed 2,800 lives.

Who is the greater enemy? Ourselves, or the muslim terrorists?

You are a very loud person.

"THAT SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE sticking one's talent in the ground. The Lord was not too happy about that.

Trusting fully in God's divine sovereignty is sticking our talent in the ground?

"THE LORD set the rules. One of the rules is HE INSTRUCTS US TO PRAY ABOUT LEADERS ONGOINGLY."

There is a difference between praying that the Lord directs our leaders according to His perfect will, and attempting to bind spirits that the Lord uses to carry out His divine judgement on sinful mankind.

HE INSTRUCTS US TO PRAY FOR PEACE--OF JERUSALEM AND OTHERWISE ONGOINGLY.

I will pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but that peace will NOT occur until the Lord returns in Power and Glory and destroys this present evil world.

"HE SET UP the great mystery of our prayers influencing His hand and world events. HE IS THE ONE WHO GETS A KICK OUT OF THAT. IT IS HIS WAY. It is HIS delight that we ENGAGE with Him in a world changing dialogue. Who am I to try and change His rules on such?"

Scripture please.

"I almost cannot fathom that a believer would construe it otherwise."

Because I don't see any scripture that backs up your claims.

"I know Andrew Strom a bit--not Chris. I believe they feel a burden to stir up the gifts that are in The Body of Christ that each believer might be found to be busy about the Father's and the Master's business at Holy Spirit's direction. I can understand his focus in the article exhorting people to get with it in terms of intercession."

They may "feel" a burden, but it is of their own imagination. It does not align with scripture.

Where and when did God direct us to pray that the spirit of Sadaam Hussain be bound up?

"As Yong Yi Cho has noted--western Christians have classes on prayer; preach about prayer, talk about how essential prayer is--then don't pray. "

Who is Yong Chi Cho? Why should I listen to him? I pray unceasingly. I pray that God's Holy will be done in all things. So "Yong is wrong" about this "western" Christian.

"OF COURSE GOD IS THE STAGE DIRECTOR AND MAJOR ACTOR ON THE SCENE."

More unscriptural claptrap. God is not a stage director, nor is he an "actor". He is the sovereign and divine Creator of all things.

We need to recognize that authority and pray for the things which His word instructs us to pray.

"my many experiences have been much toooooo convincing many, many dozens of times over. "

As Christians, we should strive to align our beliefs with what is substantiated in God's word, rather than rely on feelings and experience.

"Assuming this account is true (and I don't dispute it) this sounds more like the biblical gift than much of the ecstatic speech around today."

I agree. The gift of tongues as illustrated in Acts chapter 2 is not babble, but rather a language that each hearer hears in his own language and dialect.

I read the article.

I noticed there is a lot of emphasis on "What WE can do", and not enough on God's divine sovereignty.

Events will play out exactly as they are written in God's eternal plan, whether we "pray in tongues" or not.

As Christians our hope should not be in changing this present evil world, our hope should rest in the world to come. We should be looking to Jesus Christ and praying "Thy will, not ours be done!"

"And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."

(I am curious how you would interpret this last verse.)

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

1 John, chapter 5

"10": He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

"11": And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

"12": He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

"13": These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

"14": And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

"15": And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
