    Are extraterrestrials highly evolved beings from deep space who seeded the world with life or are the fallen powers who have come down from the first heaven and together with demons who serve them are harvesting the souls of bad seed?

    The truth of the Resurrection stands or falls on the truth of the witnesses. Are they reliable? Of the New Testament writers, there are six witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, if we include the apostles Peter and Paul. These people have left us writings in the form of historical documents which give us their testimony concerning the resurrection.The question is—are these historical documents reliable? Can we trust them? One way of determining whether the documents are reliable is to put the people who wrote them through the test a good magistrate or judge would put them through. The...

    Social media grenade-launcher Matt Walsh recently posted the following on his FaceBook page: "Many people claim to know for a fact that the practice of psychotherapy has been deeply helpful to humanity. To those people, I ask: If therapy is generally so helpful, and more people than ever are doing it, then why are people less able to deal with hardship and cope with suffering than ever before? Is it because our lives are really so much more difficult?" It's a fair question. It's certainly hard to make the case that our lives are so much more difficult than, say,...

    When Nellie Gray founded the March for Life in 1974, she thought one big demonstration against the unjust and tragic Roe v. Wade decision the previous year would be enough to halt legal abortion in the U.S. History has shown her optimism was unfounded, but the bad jurisprudence imposed on our nation by those seven justices was finally repealed in 2022. And yet the March continues, as it must. The current occupant of the White House says his first priority if re-elected would be to re-establish Roe. Our vice president is about to embark on a nationwide tour to talk...
  • The Occult and the Myth of Secularization: Organized versus Disorganized Religion

    “Where there are no gods, ghosts reign….” Novalis, 1798 We have a myth in Western society. It is that the world was once magic and religious and that now it has become (with a few hold outs) largely secular and atheistic. But some historians have pointed out that this narrative doesn’t exactly hold. Poll after poll shows that populations, even in supposedly secular societies, tend to hold views in direct contrast with scientific materialism. If those populations don’t explicitly affirm belief in an organized religion or theology (such as Christianity) the people nonetheless tend to believe in ghosts, spirits, the...

    Our society is in the midst of a massive cultural shift. According to the Barna Group, “rates of church attendance, religious affiliation, belief in God, prayer and Bible-reading have been dropping for decades. Americans’ beliefs are becoming more post-Christian and, concurrently, religious identity is changing.”This is the environment in which Generation Z is growing up.
  • Why the Technocratic World Order Rejoices in Evil and is the Spirit of AntiChrist

    PatriotandLiberty ^ | 1/24 | Linda Kimball
    Modern Technocracy and Trans-humanism are ideological products of the utopian notion that the world must be dominated and governed by the control of a “Pure Elect” or suffer the violent anarchy of the masses. There is Pure Election and pure depravity and nothing else. The only way out of this is to be detached, superior to the world and to others—to control them. (11) Thus, only.science and technology can fulfill the utopian dream of purifying the world of evil by perfecting society and engineering a New Man through application of technology and science. The scientific engineering of a new man...

    The popular conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson recently shared his belief that the non-human beings the U.S. government has reportedly encountered are “not aliens” but are “spiritual” in nature.During a Timcast IRL podcast discussion hosted by Tim Pool on Tuesday, Carlson weighed in on the mounting whistleblower reports of UFO and “alien”-related government programs, which he has discussed in two interviews posted on X. He most recently discussed the subject on December 13 with former military intelligence officer and whistleblower Dave Grusch.“It’s my personal belief, based on a fair amount of evidence, that they’re not aliens. They’ve always been here....

    Tucker Carlson has warned that “evil” inter-dimensional demonic entities are influencing humanity in such a profound manner that the controlled environment where mankind exists can be compared to an “ant farm.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Answering a question about extraterrestrial’s, UFOs, and the spiritual war many are now finding themselves in, Carlson delved into what he believes is the true nature of these hidden entities. “They’re not aliens, they’ve always been here. I do think it’s spiritual,” declared Carlson on Timcast IRL. “There is good and evil that we are being acted upon at all times … You are subject to forces from...

    Frank Turek debates an atheist on whether or not the Gospels were written by the disciples. The atheist claims that they were not and believes he has ample evidence to prove his point but Frank Turek demonstrates that everything the atheist claims his misinformation. This debate comes to a head as the kid refuses to accept defeat, as Frank employs the very thing the kid was claiming to dismiss!

    My dear friend, this Christmas Season, do YOU personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? There is great pardon and forgiveness to all that call upon His name (Eph. 2:1-10, 2 Cor. 5:17-21)! As the Day of the Lord approaches ever more closely and man’s plague-laden remedies fail to contain the EXPONENTIAL fiscal and social damage and consequences unleashed today by man’s lawless addictions to the demons released from Pandora’s Box, May Almighty God and the true biblical message of Christmas be your hope, joy, peace, refuge and strength!

    ‘Who created God?’ is an age-old question. Children sometimes ask it because they’re curious. But atheists more commonly ask it because they think it is a ‘gotcha’ question for Christians.So, is it really a ‘gotcha’ question? Does God—like everything else in the universe—need a cause? Or have atheists made an error in logic in assuming this?As Dr Don Batten explains, ‘Who created God?’ has a simple, logical answer—so Christians have no need to be intimidated! On the other hand, atheists have some explaining of their own to do when it comes to first causes!

    Partly, by responding that scientific discovery and knowledge does not warrant the premise that the universe and everything therein can (at least someday) all be attributed to purely natural processes.Meaning that the atheist/antitheist position claim that there is no Creator/God, is one lacking in evidential warrant and requires great faith. For it can only presume that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered, intricate universe,* exquisitely finely tuned for earthly life with its extensive diversity and astounding complexity, came to be by known (or potentially known), purely natural demonstrable powers, as if it was Divine, without any supreme supernatural intelligence behind it.And...

    What are we to make of this rapid, cross-denominational apostasy?2 The fact of this phenomenon is a clear example of culture reporter Megan Basham’s recent warning: “You may have wanted to avoid this subject, but you cannot avoid it any longer. [LGBT ideology] is coming to your church, no matter how solid you think it is.”3 Those who cannot see this are woefully ignorant of the times. Yet the cause of this phenomenon is anything but recent. Indeed, the “journey” that leads to this dead end (let the reader understand) is so well worn that one can see it from...

    The life-taking act of abortion is being promoted by women’s fashion magazine Cosmo, which comes as no surprise to many, but a new article went much darker by praising Satanists and their twisted ritual women chant when they kill the unborn. The article focuses on the New Mexico-based Satanic Temple and its members who joined the abortion business by opening their own online abortion clinic. Using mail delivery, the clinic helps women obtain abortion pills by prescription in the abortion-friendly state.

    things at the CCHD have gone beyond mere Marxist materialism into fully occult directions, Lepanto reports. Not only does CCHD fund groups that flagrantly violate the church’s pro-life and other moral teachings. It also supports neo-pagan groups engaged in witchcraft. Lepanto’s latest report:A few weeks ago, the Lepanto Institute proved that a recent grantee called CUSH collected homosexual pornography with the intent to provide it to children. Then, the Lepanto Institute proved that the CCHD provided grants to Unchained, a pro-abortion, pro-LGBT organization with intimate ties to Marxist entities.
