Chuck Schumer brought HR1 – SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution.

Questions about Israel: 1. Is there anywhere in the New Testament that explicitly supports the land promise made to Israel is yet to be fulfilled? If the land promise to Israel is forever and unconditional, why does God say it is conditional in Deuteronomy 28? Did Israel not receive all of the land promised to Abraham in Joshua 21:43-45; 23:14-15? 2. If God has two different plans for Jews and Gentiles, why does Paul say there is no longer a distinction...

Hillary Clinton is still in the presidential race, she said today, because "historically, it makes no sense" to quit, and added that, "Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June," making an odd comparison between the dead candidate and Barack Obama. "People have been trying to push me out since Iowa," she said to the Argus Leader's editorial board.

The Government is planning a new Whitehall commission that will try to tackle the growth of the "nanny state". Gordon Brown is personally leading the "radical" initiative, having accepted that government has "assumed more responsibility for people's lives than is healthy or desired". He wants the new body to explain to the public why it should no longer do so. advertisement In June, the Prime Minister asked the Better Regulation Commission (BRC), the independent watchdog, to work out the plans and it is understood the final details are now being agreed. If the proposal is given the green light, the...

DeLay declares 'victory' in war on budget fat By Amy Fagan and Stephen Dinan THE WASHINGTON TIMES September 14, 2005 House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said yesterday that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an "ongoing victory," and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget. Mr. DeLay was defending Republicans' choice to borrow money and add to this year's expected $331 billion deficit to pay for Hurricane Katrina relief. Some Republicans have said Congress should make cuts in other areas, but Mr. DeLay said that doesn't seem possible. "My...

I Saw Fire In The Sky Judy Curmi 2-11-2005 This was a very vivid dream. The dream occurred on a bright sunny day. I was walking along a black-topped road. My mother and sister Rosie were with me. We were in an upscale salt-water community, perhaps along the coast of California or Florida. Along the sides of the road were guardrails made of steel rods and thick beams of wood painted white, in keeping with a nautical theme. To our right a ramp went down steeply to wooden docks holding a number of small pleasure craft. Due to the steepness...

The fifth book of the Testimony of the Two Witnesses is now available on-line at: Testimony of the Two Witnesses: Book 5 (PDF Format) Testimony of the Two Witnesses: Book 5 (HTML Format)The theme is “true love is perfected through suffering.“ This book includes God's message to His Bride, the One True Church, and it has the ending to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, which helps demonstrate the fallacy of the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. The book concludes with an analysis of what God is saying through the South Asia tsunami.

Seven months after beginning their testimony, the Two Witnesses have been called by God to write a second book, warning of the final plagues, now being sent to the earth. These final plagues will be immediately succeeded by the Second Coming of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus. The final harvest will soon be underway. Details available at: Testimony of the Two Witnesses

Rome, Feb. 11, 2005 (CNA) - Forensic scientists in Italy are working on a different kind of investigation—one that dates back 2000 years. In an astounding announcement, the scientists think they may have re-created an image of Jesus Christ when He was a 12-year old boy.Using the Shroud of Turin, a centuries-old linen cloth, which many believe bears the face of the crucified Christ, the investigators first created a computer-modeled, composite picture of the Christ’s face.Dr. Carlo Bui, one of the scientists said that, “the face of the man on the shroud is the face of a suffering man. He...
