It’s Time to End the Church’s Ravening Wolves Problem When the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the children of Fatima over one hundred years ago, there were many problems in the world, but rampant heresy within the Church was not one of them. Whereas today almost the entire Church hierarchy has at least tacitly accepted the proliferation of the most baneful lies to ever be preached from Catholic pulpits — that all Protestant religions please God; that hell might be empty; and that all souls may go to heaven — Our Lady of Fatima appeared at a time when...

Former President Donald Trump told thousands of supporters in Commerce, Georgia, on Saturday night that while his critics faulted his “personality,” it was his personality that kept the U.S. out of war for the four years he was in office. Trump was referring to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, which President Joe Biden failed to deter, and which he is currently in Europe trying to contain.

An Idaho church has replaced a stained glass window of Robert E Lee, George Washington and Abe Lincoln with the country's first black Methodist bishop wearing an LGBTQ scarf. The late bishop Leontine Kelly, who passed away at age 92 in 2012, had lived in Richmond, Virginia with her family where monuments of former Confederate leaders, such as Lee, had lined Monument Avenue. The statue of Lee, a former Civil War general and slave owner, was later removed by the city on September 8. The call to remove the statue had been recommended by Governor Ralph Northam in June 2020...

Onetime White House strategist Stephen Bannon threatened to make the charges against him “the misdemeanor from hell” for the Biden administration as he exited his first court appearance after being indicted for defying a Congressional subpoena. The Department of Justice on Friday scored an indictment against Bannon after filing two charges of criminal contempt of Congress, saying the former Trump staffer failed to “comply in any way” for a request for documents and a deposition from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. “I'm telling you right now, this is going to be the misdemeanor from...

Singer Bette Midler put out a tweet on Thursday afternoon informing conservative Christians that she does not think it would be a good thing to spend her afterlife in the same place she thinks they are going.“Sorry Conservative Christians, but spending eternal life with you people is not the selling point you think it is,” she said.Midler has previously defended legalized abortion through Twitter. On Sept. 2, she sent out a tweet that said: “I suggest that all women refuse to have sex with men until they are guaranteed the right to choose by Congress...”

Hillary Clinton still has vivid imagery in her head of seeing Ground Zero one day after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. 'We landed at LaGuardia, we took a helicopter, and we circled over Ground Zero,' said Clinton, who was a senator representing New York at the time. 'And I cannot imagine anything that looked more like the Gates of Hell.' The ex-first lady and future secretary of State recalled Friday to CBS Mornings that she was in Washington, D.C., the day of the attacks.

The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry midterm, and an actual answer turned in by a student. The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well : Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the...

President Joe Biden praised New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s record on issues important to Democrats despite allegations of sexual harassment forcing the governor to resign on Tuesday. After a speech celebrating his success with the infrastructure bill passing the Senate, Biden was asked by CBS News reporter Ed O’Keefe about Cuomo’s record as governor of New York.

A good friend of mine, Curtis, recently sent me a book–ANTICHRIST: How to Identify the Coming Imposter, by Pastor Charles Crismier. It’s an interesting and educational read so far, written by someone who has studied this material in depth over many decades. Its target audience is Christians, but so far I’ve seen enough fascinating material in the book to recommend it to anybody who is interested in “end times” prophesy, the “Antichrist,” and the history of past tyrannical leaders and systems (Note: I don’t make any money from the book link). History repeats itself, as we know, and… Those who...

In Part I, I introduced my story: I explained how I got into hard rock/ heavy metal music; mentioned some of the music I loved (and still do); noted the sea change in America–from relative innocence to corruption, ushered in through huge music festivals such as Woodstock and Altamont; and I broached darker elements in the music, including outright Satanic messages and images. In Part 2, I told a personal story of how corruption overtook my innocence–how sex, drugs, and rock & roll worked together by building on EXISTING, unresolved issues in my life, thereby opening up a “gateway” to...

Totally sobering and powerful sermon video about the ETERNAL REALITY of the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15; 22:11) and how we ETERNALLY need Jesus Christ as our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior and RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION (John 3:16-121; 36; Rom. 10:2-4; 1 John 4:19)! Be brave and bold my dear friends to hear what Almighty God's Word teaches on the ETERNAL REALITY of Hell and the Lake of Fire! Jesus; Heaven and Hell are absolutely real; What will you choose? The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Bishop Strickland says that with June being named “pride” month, celebrating homosexuality and transgenderism, Christians must “turn to Saint Michael and...

Back in 2016 his speech at the Republican convention , Ben Carson made a statement that raised some eyebrows. “Now, one of the things that I have learned about Hillary Clinton is that one of her heroes, her mentors, was Saul Alinsky,” said Carson. “And her senior thesis was about Saul Alinsky. This was someone she greatly admired….” So far so good. Nothing most political junkies haven’t heard before. “And let me tell you something about Saul Alinsky,” continued Carson. “He wrote a book called Rules for Radicals. It acknowledges Lucifer, the original radical who gained his own kingdom. Now...

I died on March 14th, 1999. It was a Sunday and I was just two months shy of my 39th birthday. I grew up in a small town, with normal people. Nothing ‘fantastical’ ever really happened to me. I was ordinary, unknown, and just part of the anonymous unwashed masses residing in flyover-country USA. I thought I had lived a good life. I wasn’t a “saint,” but I wasn’t “evil” either, or doing what I thought evil people did; like killing, raping, or robbing people. I went to church most weeks. I worked hard at a good job, took care...

HELL—With the lifting of CDC guidance regarding masks for vaccinated persons, Satan has released a statement assuring the damned that masks will still be required in all levels of hell. In addition to masks, everyone will be forced to wear glasses that fog up instantly and you can never, ever clean them. Masks will only be of the thick, cloth variety that retains the smell of everything you ate for the past three weeks, and only enough air will get through to stay conscious. “Hell really has very strict standards,” explained the Prince of Darkness. “People come in with these...

The Swedish Lutheran theologian, Gustav Aulen, published a seminal work on the types of atonement theory in 1930 (Christus Victor). Though time and critical studies have suggested many subtler treatments of the question, no one has really improved on his insight. Especially valuable was his description of the “Classic View” of the atonement. This imagery, very dominant in the writings of the early Fathers and in the liturgical life of the Eastern Church, focused on the atonement as an act of invasion, the smashing of gates and bonds, and the setting free of those bound in hell. Aulen clearly preferred...

Back in April 2016, the Wall Street Journal published an interesting article entitled “CERN Is Seeking Secrets of the Universe, or Maybe Opening the Portal of Hell”, regarding the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 17-mile subterranean loop beneath the France-Switzerland border near Geneva that smashes particles at nearly the speed of light. CERN is “The European Organization for Nuclear Research” that operates the world’s largest particle physics lab, and the LHC is an “atom smasher” to generate antimatter which is invisible. However, in 2012 CERN scientists were able to trap antimatter and observed the Higgs boson or “god particle”, which...
