Among the headlines on MicroSoft news this morning was a GUARDIAN one that might have been overlooked by many in the heat of the Trump inauguration hoopla:

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 308 of 30812:02 The authoritarian tendencies are a bit troubling. Obama signed a lot of executive orders and theoretically he's undoing some of what Obama did, but as a businessmen he is used to making unilateral decisions so it will be hard to him to resist that tendency.
Hillary would hardly be an improvement. She did plenty of damage.

1:27 Thank you for sharing that excellent and well thought out article. It's the best analysis I've seen to date.
Madame Helena P. Blavatsky, who founded Theosophy in 1875, viewed the Gnostics as precursors of modern occult movements and hailed them for preserving an inner teaching lost to orthodoxy.
The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, a constant source of inspiration for the New Age, did much to introduce Gnosticism to the modern world by viewing it as a kind of proto-depth psychology, a key to psychological interpretation. According to Stephan Hoeller, author of The Gnostic Jung, “it was Jung’s contention that Christianity and Western culture have suffered grievously because of the repression of the Gnostic approach to religion, and it was his hope that in time this approach would be reincorporated in our culture, our Western spirituality.”
Thomas Dahlheimer, you must have missed when I asked:
To Thomas Dahlheimer: You wrote: "My answer to Dan Bryan's question is: My 'transcendent' God's justice demands that a time of punishment is required before It can restore that which was corrupted by disobedience to Its will."
Using your belief system, please define the words "God's justice", punishment, restore, disobedience, corrupted and "Its will."
2:03 PM
How can we possibly know what you are talking about if you don't define your terms. I should have added transcendent to the list of words to be defined. Your belief system is not Jewish or Christian where those words have specific meanings. Please, what are you talking about!!! You dance around your topic enough as it is.
If only Mr. Dahlheimer could and would understand what happened in Genesis 3, maybe then he would realise not to rely on his own fleshly and haughty understanding, but repent and be saved. He has been beguiled and deceived by that Serpent of Old, Satan.
The post exposing Mother Angelica does just that, for apart from any ad hominems (veridical though they may be) Mother Angelica exposes herself by her own words.

NEW AGE: a broad movement characterized by alternative approaches to traditional Western culture, with an interest in spirituality, mysticism, holism, and environmentalism.
I see absolutely nothing in the TRUMP admin that could even be remotely defined as "NEW AGE". However, virtually ALL of TRUMP's enemies fall into the "NEW AGE" category.
Anon. 1:27
From the zerohedge article you posted:
"Although, to be quite fair, it might be more accurate to state that some Americans have finally had enough of certain government practices that are illegal, immoral and inhumane provided that the ruling political party responsible for those actions is not their own.
Yes, that sounds about right. Except that it’s all wrong."
No, I think that sounds about right. The author confuses a lot of things in that article. For example, he continues:
"Imagine: after more than eight years in which Americans remained largely silent while the United States military (directed by the Obama Administration) bombed parts of the Middle East to smithereens—dropping nearly three bombs an hour, and left a trail of innocent civilian deaths in its wake—suddenly, Americans are outraged by programs introduced by the Trump Administration that could discriminate against Muslim refugees. Never mind that we’ve been killing those same refugees for close to a decade."
His use of "Americans" as a group twice in the above statement implies that he is talking about the same group each time (thus making Americans as a whole look hypocritical), but they aren't the same group. The Americans who remained silent include all of us, but the ones making all the noise now are the radical left.
I also do not like Ayn Rand at all, whom he quotes extensively - she was a libertarian who rejected God and the very idea of a God that requires subservience. Her philosophy can probably be summed up by "I will serve nobody!" Total freedom, total liberty was her creed, which echoes that of the initial rebel - Satan. She may have had some good things to say politically, but she went way too far towards a philosophy of living a libertine life, rather than a life in which there is a was a balance between order and freedom (which was the philosophy of the American founders).
It's true that government as a tool is a dangerous weapon that could be wielded against a free people, taking that freedom away swiftly and without justice. But I still maintain that in the United States, that path toward tyranny is still the most difficult; although with the mindset of a growing number of people today (the ones in the streets yelling and screaming for the sake of yelling and screaming, it seems), the checks and balances of power along with an armed populace is showing to be less and less of a barrier to that path.
Zerohedge has some good articles, but they are too libertarian for my tastes, and tend to cast America (and the American government) as the highest ranking Evil Empire in the world, and it's not, in spite of its shortcomings and failures. People still try to come here more than any other place. And now, we've stopped that flood temporarily until we can come up with a good way to vet the incoming. That could end up going badly, increasing surveillance powers drastically, and further limiting freedoms for all of us. But then again, it might go rather well.
And in agreement with 5:03 PM's observations, I believe Trump has shown NO disrespect of the Constitution or of the American rule of law that respects individual liberties. It is the Left, the New Agers, the One-Worlders and the Coercive Utopians who have that gene embedded in their brains.
We in the USA are in a dangerous position.
There are many pitfalls, the greatest being an apostate church on many fronts as pointed out by so many including the TD.
The second is a ruling Luciferian elite that has blinded the church with a Christian and righteous facade. (Pizza gate is just a glimpse behind the curtain)
The Lord is looking to see if he will find faith in the earth.
Do they have Faith in Him or Faith in Trump?
If God blesses Trump and this nation, He will protect His children.
If God curses Trump and this nation, He will protect His children.
This has to be our confidence or we will be without faith and subject to terror?
We should pray for God's hand of protection, guidance, favor over Trump and this nation. Please make a commitment to pray for Trump every day!

I'm not sure which post you are referring to. I watched the one video that dealt with Mother Angelica's "heresies" from the perspective of the traditional, pre-Vatican II era. I also read the article from another apparently pre-Vatican II site describing her charismatic "experiences," heresies, etc. Which one would you like me to comment on?
Hi Ray B, both Constance and Susanna promote this woman as being 'good', yet she's as New Agey in her promotion of and happy nods to the mixing of false religion as they come. She was in full favor of JPII's Assisi shenanigans, as well as other Jesus Christ denying faiths. Yet she does help keep it all under the RC umbrella... of having the Pope as the great chaperone of all the false religions out there...

To all:
Miraculously, I'm back on line and regrouping from my main computer. I arrived home from the Republican County Convention and served as 8th Congressional co-secretary for the event and when I went to computer post events, discovered my main computer would not recognize the C (bootable) drive for my Windows 10 All-in-One computer. Most significant things were backed up but some still necessary ones were not yet archived. One of my old clients for the past 28 years since I actively returned to the active practice of law in 1989 after 7 years on the road is what I consider a computer genius. None of the usual repair steps on the "dreaded blue screen" worked and repair was not possible. My old client came out to our home traveling in bad weather nearly 50 miles on late Saturday afternoon. He replaced the main hard drive, but miraculously discovered that although the boot area was corrupted (most likely during the automatic Windows 10 upgrade process), the rest of the drive was intact. He had the foresight to bring a case with fan and electrical connections and turned my old drive C into "Drive F" and by the Grace of God, I did not lose data. Even some of my software was still intact. I had to reinstall some of my major pieces of software. I'm extremely grateful to God and to my old client for the repairs. He charged me a most reasonable sum of money to repair it. If any of you in this area ever need computer repairs by an honest and knowledgeable technician, I have just the person for you.
So much has happened this week. I frankly as a Christian was dismayed at the Immigrant ban last weekend. I know many political conservatives disagree with me, but reading the Bible as I do about kindness to strangers and what happened to the Moabites who refused Israel access when they were fleeing enemies, I have my Biblical reservations.

Mother Angelica was ill and incapacitated for several years with a stroke. She died last year. She did an important program with me about New Age issues in late 1987 -- a 90 minute special and she really did want to know what was happening. She was perfect and neither were/are the rest of us. I was disturbed by Fr. Pacwa's apparent take over given what I knew about how he tried to protect Matthew Fox and attack Randy England (author of Unicorn in the Sanctuary). God will judge her as he will the rest of us -- but when Doug Coe and the Evangelical crowd were attempting to totally suppress my work with unity conferences with Paul N. Temple, and New Age leaders such as David Spangler with the help of Art Lindsley, and others, she did what she could to make sure at least the Catholic world had honest information on what was happening.

8:58 The Jews sect you have linked to believe that no matter what happens Judaism will lead monotheism on the face of this earth, never leaving the people of the earth without the Torah to guide them. In that they are correct. For them Judaism is much bigger than the state of Israel. In that they are correct. They believe that Jews should never center around Israel. They believe Jews should center on the Torah. In that they are correct. They know that in spite of those like that would work to take Judaism off the face of the earth like those in this article https://worldisraelnews.com/us-knew-of-nazi-euthanasia-gassings-but-remained-silent-research-shows, Judaism will continue. In that they are correct.
Jews don't all think alike about everything. Whatever stand we take we are very strong willed about it. Exodus 32:At 32:9, God famously states: “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.” There is a bit of humor in the Jewish community that goes, If there are three Jews on a deserted desert island, there will be three synagogues. God has been able to put up with it even though many humans can't. In that link you find one of many, many different views of Israel. If you are Jewish or side with one faction or other, thanks for sharing.
9:44 you must be new to all of this to believe what you posted. That warning stuff has been making the rounds for decades, scaring the pants off everyone who stupidly trusts, groups from Christians to pagans to pro-aborts to homosexuals This must be the "law" you are referring to: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-105/pdf/STATUTE-105-Pg44.pdf A Remember the Rebbe day is not a general law of any kind. It's the kind of thing done by politicians from Congress down to townships as a favor so that leaders can go back to their followers and say see, we were listened to. The politicians pick up votes that way. As I believe I shared before, there are groups pushing for acknowledgement of the Noahide laws which can be found in the Bible based on what Noah was told to make the world a better place, but those are mostly New Age connected groups pushing for reasons to unite around One World Religion.
While the cats away the mice will play. When no one is monitoring the blog posts all manner of nonsense gets posted.

These posters would have others believe the University of Michigan archived Cumbey's papers on the New Age movement at their request because they have nothing better to do than use a lot of space for some simplistic alternative movement that only a few simple minds are interested in. Sure...and maybe Harvard is archiving all of the Alex Jones material and Yale is working on Rense papers. Gee I wonder who is picking up the Tex Maars rants. Sure...and Constance has spent 35 years documenting something that can be summed up as the Babylonean Mystery Religion.
I took the time to respond because if there are two individuals who truly believe those things there must be two other individuals in this wide wide world who might say to themselves, "Well it could be true."
It has occurred to me that perhaps the book that really needs to be written is what I experienced on many levels in attempting to get out the warnings about the New Age Movement since discovering it in 1981. Who helped? Who hindered? Who sabotaged? Who professionally spied? Attempts to shut me out of my own work. Unfortunately, I know where most of the bodies are buried in this saga and many would probably shock many of you. The one thing that has held me back are Jesus' warnings that the tares would grow along with the wheat and to do nothing about the tares because in the process of pulling up the tares, one might also harm the wheat. Also, "vengeance is mine" sayeth the Lord. Sometimes when it was necessary to keep somebody from worse confusion, I have shared confidences with some of you who phoned me. Barbara Aho had much critical information on her website -- unfortunately, she appears to hav lapsed into bad anti-Semitism. I don't know what happened. There were many who tried to silence her also.
Christianity Today appears to have lapsed into promoting much of the New Age Movement. They were never on the side of honest exposes. Looking at their archives for recent years tonight I was very shocked at what I was finding. Here is one of many sad examples and then check out the website for this group!

If there are any readers out there who want to know the kind of peril this country is in, I recommend three books. If you don't have the money or the time to read, at least go to Amazon and read the summaries and the comments.
Secrets and Lies by Gordon Thomas (2007) documents the experimentation done by the CIA under the government's control dealing with mind control and biological warfare. Some of you may know about part of it done under MKUltra. The author talks not only about our government but about what has been done by other governments. It makes "Men Who Stare At Goats" look like the comic book version.
Battlefield America: The War On The American People by John Whitehead (2015) Whitehead wrote the article http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-31/rule-brute-force-true-nature-government It shows why he is concerned about the US having an authoritarian form of government.
Death by Government" by R.J. Rummel (1997) I have yet to purchase this one because it is quite pricey and I don't have access to the book through interlibrary loan. "This is R. J. Rummel's fourth book in a series devoted to genocide and government mass murder, or what he calls democide." He points out the huge number of people killed by their own governments. This is of concern to me because of the biological experimentation done in the near past, the desire of New Agers to reduce the population by 2/3 and knowing what I've learned about transhumanism.
I won't try to answer simplistic questions. If you are interested you will do your own research at Amazon. You may have read other books you can recommend. Or you can stick with tons of opinion pieces by people you trust.
Constance, as I told you many years ago such a book would be an excellent thing. Just as the truth about the New Age movement appears so shocking that many can't believe it is going on, often times the truth has to come out to explain what is going on and to teach others what appears to be is not always the truth. All of us who have worked decades to expose the New Age movement could work together to expose what we have learned. Good idea?
Regarding the immigrant ban, the point is that they are mostly immigrants, not refugees. No country has any moral obligation to let in economic migrants. And when they come from a culture that hates our, wants to take it over, and is violent - Trump is dead right!
In ancient Israel only those who shared its values, namely Yahuwism, were welcome to come in. That was part of its divinely written constitution and divine wisdom is good enough precedent for me.

You dance around your topic enough as it is." Anonymous, you must have missed several of my posts, because in them I have been explaining what these "words" mean to me. A lot of what I believe is found in "Christian" Gnosticism, Theosophy, Sufism, Hinduism and Buddhism.
The late Roman Catholic monk and priest Thomas Merton (1915–1968) is a hero of mine. I agree with most of Rev. Matthew Fox's theology.

Thomas Dahlheimer, still no definitions of what the words mean in your belief system? I didn't ask what you believe at this point. I didn't ask the connections between your belief system and other belief systems. I didn't ask what you had read or what you like. I just want to know what you are talking about. I'm not out to convert you, nor am I telling you that you are all wrong. Just on a plain academic level, if you can, give a definition of those words as used in your belief system. I'm not your biographer so there is no need for me to keep a record of your postings. The only thing I can gather from your response is that what you believe has nothing systematic about it. Rather it is a hodge podge of ideas that you put together in your own mind. Kind of like a bubbling stew someone called it.
The issue is, 5:35 AM, whether just 'immigrants' (as you claim against the evidence to say otherwise) or refugees, from what I understand, many of those denied have visas and some even green cards. Many have family waiting for them in the US, and as well as tbose escaping Isis or Assad, some of them helped Americans against insurgents in Iraq, etc, and have a high probability of being murdered if sent back, as well as having given everything up in their home countries AFTER having been granted asylum, etc in the USA, now being denied entry despite legal documents they may hold.
Now, with Matthew 25 in mind, when Jesus Christ asks you wjen did you help the stranger, those in danger, hungry, imprisoned, etc, what will you answer?
Constance, you have shown Christ like love by your comments and warmed my heart, proving your faith is alive. By their fruits shall you know them!
Thank you for showing me that there are still people out there whose 'American values' still equate with Christian ones.
God bless you!
Two things:
The stranger in real need should be welcomed.
What of the stranger who comes with another intent (mixed in among the innocent strangers)?
Legal immigration (with good vetting) is like letting the stranger who has come to my home in need and comes to knock on my front door asking of me. Yes, I want to open my door.
Illegal immigration is like a stranger crawling through my back window and gets inside my house with demands to be fed and housed and clothed (in case of a terrorist funded by me to harm my family and neighborhood).
Which stranger should I let in?
Both?
My immigrant ancestors came as good neighbors and found a life here that gives and doesn't take.
Those are the tired and poor anybody should want here. it's how we got here.
BTW-I have first hand knowledge of a Muslim lady (Kurdish) who was brought here for political asylum.
She was granted permission to come here and eventually went to work as an interpreter for our government. Back home what had happened was bomb had been set at her house to take her out because she helped Americans while they were in Iraq. Her own mother was nearly killed when it exploded. When able she tried to get her mother here as well, her mother ended up in syria with relatives to try to take care of her.
But some of her own relatives would not have gotten to come though. They were the ones that set the bomb. Suppose those relatives had been allowed to come too, what then? This was 10 years ago.
A very mixed bag and not easy, but let our laws and common sense and love for real freedom (not license) rule our heads and hearts to deal case by case with it all.
You see, 5:35AM, the attitude you've shown in your post pushes people away from finding Jesus Christ because it falsely lends credence to Obama's twisted claims about the Holy Bible.
Moreover, I hope you don't agree with Obama's mocking dismissal of the beatitudes (Sermon on the Mount).

I TOTALLY agree! But I would just like to say that what is being called an "immigrant ban" is not a "ban." It is a temporary pause on allowing refugees from a handful of Muslim - majority countries from entering the U.S. until they can be properly vetted.
Among the hindrances to this proper vetting is Obama's politically correct agenda and possibly his "scorched earth" policy which included destroying records "on a federal database which showed links between possible jihadists and Islamic terrorist groups."
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/dhs-isis-destroy-records/2016/02/06/id/713047/
President Trump's Executive Order merely halts US refugee entry into the US for 120 days, and bars all citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the US for three months. Trump feels the move is right in line with the previous administration's moves to combat terrorism - especially President Barack Obama's moves in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months.
Moreover, Trump has rightly pointed out that the countries included in his Executive Order are the very same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as having links to terrorism. Trump said the US would again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.
By the way, President Trump has also decried the unfair treatment of CHRISTIAN refugees from these regions who are suffering vicious persecution and has said that he is determined to find a way to give priority to helping THEM.

Yet what evidence has been provided to show that any of those detained at Airports around the US are terrorists or a danger? None! Or are they guilty till proven innocent? Go back and read the details of such unjustly treated people as I have given in my post at 1:17 PM.
I doubt such excuses you've given will be acceptable to Jesus Christ when he asks you how you treated such people in the manner given in Matthew 25.
Such unjust measures of Tump don't stop terrorism, they breed it! Do you know how wide and porous the US / Canadian border is? Are you going to build a wall there too?
There has been no evidence provided that those people who have already been granted legal entry into the US currently being held at airports around the country are entering with intentions to hurt the people of the United States, none!
I will leave it up to you to seek God on the matter and see if your attitude towards those very real people suffering at US airports, or stuck in limbo at airports elsewhere in transfer (not being given permission due to continue their journey to the US) is something Jesus Christ would approve of. I for one greatly doubt it!
Anonymous 1:57 PM, would you say Jesus Christ is being "politically correct" in his commands to love our neighbours as ourselves, his Sermon on the Mount, his account of the good Samaritan, his commands to love our enemies, and his words in Matthew 25?
Those people held are innocent. Or is one no longer innocent till proven guilty in the United States? Are they now guilty till proven innocent?

If my some words in favour of those unable to enter the US at this moment seem harsh or personal, imagine how harsh and personal are yours towards them? They too are real human beings, how much proximity here is needed?
IF their numbers are as few as 109 persons as the US Govt claims, then why can they not enter and be kept under provisional surveillance for three months (until the US Govt finds out "what's going on" and further vetted in a more humane way than such unjust detention. An deliberate injustice against even one person is one two many, and is an injustice against all! We are our brother's keeper!

12:46 am, Constance....
A new book on the New Age would be excellent. Add new information, revise/tweak the old. It could even be one of those "compilation" books, with contributions from a variety of authors, and edited/compiled by one or two people.
Those kinds of books were quite common in the "witch hunting" days of the 80s. (And I use "witch hunting" in a positive sense.)
Or maybe a conference of speakers? Every time I blink there's a new "prophecy" conference, or "watchman's" conference, or some other similar thing, with all kinds of false prophets and false teachers selling their wares. Why not an "Exposing the New Age" conference?

If you study the OT and the NT you will find that this.
The scripture specifically is written to the individual not the corporate.
To the individual not the corporate church even.
Before one goes out into the highway and hedges and compels them to come in, we'd better have more than food and a green card for them. We'd better have a house bed and chairs as well.
Americans that have a roof over their head, food in the refrigerator, clothing on their back; they are richer than 75% of the rest of the world.
The New Testament said the early church had all things in common (Commune-ism) among themselves.
If you extrapolate that to the rest of the world making all equal (and they all want to come here) you need to be ready to redistribute 80 to 95% of your net worth as the USA is little less than 5% of the world population but richer than 75%.
The bible does not teach that his people (Israel/OT Church/NT) are to eliminate poverty of the world. We are to eliminate poverty of those in our midst. In the OT this meant the strangers that lived with Israel as family. In the NT sharing with others in the church proper.
I believe the Bible is talking to the individual not the government.
I believe we as individuals will face the question of what we did for the poor. Will we be able to point to the government or church as a way of escape on judgement day? I think not.

As a Christian, I am relieved I didn't first hear of Christianity from people such as YOURSELF!
Former Czech President (served for 10 years) Vaclav Klaus appeared on RT to discuss, among other items, Europe's "refugee" crisis. He adamantly claims that the vast majority of these people are NOT refugees, but rather migrants that are seeking to take advantage of Europe's social welfare state. He also makes the claim that the migrant crisis has purposely been created by the EU to be used as an excuse to create an EU Army and EU Police force, all under the guise of "restoring order," while in the process removing individual rights. Totalitarian regimes have used this type of tactic repeatedly throughout history. You can watch the interview for yourself here:

Sovereign nations have not only a right, but a solemn duty to properly vet all immigrants prior to granting them access to the country. The false news reported by the mainstream media was that "all Muslims" were being prevented from immigrating, which is patently false. As I recall, there were 109 that failed to meet the necessary criteria and were consequently being held until they could be properly vetted.
If you believe such action is "un-Christian," I suggest you put your faith into action. Unlock your doors and invite any stranger into your home. There really isn't much difference between that and allowing everyone that wants to enter our country in without knowing who, what and why they want to come here.
Dan Brian, those people suffering in limbo due to Trump's edict are individuals! If I had a list of their names to convince you, I would post them! In view of the circumstances faced by such, as shown in my former posts, these are very real individuals who are suffering right now, not just statistics, and have every moral right to enter.the US since such permission was first legally granted them, and no evidence has been presented against any such individual to show they present a threat!
Anonymous 3:13 PM,
We should obey God rather than man! I don't believe in divine right of government, where those in Government are in line with God's teachings we should obey them, where they are not, we should not!
I see no love in your posts, only the voice of one who betrays hatred (it's certainly not love in your heart towards those desperate and innocent souls) through fear of the 'other', a fear which has the result of being complicit in the real suffering and possible deaths of others!
I see nothing Christian about your post, rather that of a protectionist (racist?) viper and moral coward! I will answer to Jesus Christ, He is my King and I obey His Commands... you may obey those of King Trump over the Lord Jesus Christ's, yet both of us will answer to Jesus Christ when the time comes! I find your views repulsive, murderous and far from Christian.
Ray B, those people were granted legal documents to enter the US. Do you think those documents were easy to get? What evidence has been provided to show any of such individuals presents a danger? I refer you to my post given at 2:45 PM.
This smacks of 1930's Germany. Good luck with President Narcissist himself!

"This smacks of 1930's Germany."
You are really over the top on that one. Do you have any idea how absurd that analogy is? The Nazis (and Stalin, Mao, Castro, etc.) would take citizens away from their homes, never to be seen or heard from again. Not long ago, I spoke with a Russian Jew that lived under Stalin. He told me to this day, a certain fear comes over him when he hears a "knock on the door."
To compare vetting immigrants from nations with high activities of terrorist groups to the Nazis is absolutely crazy. Incidentally, how many predominately Muslim nations were NOT listed? Do you know? Once you find that out, you will readily (hopefully) see that this is NOT a policy that reflects a certain prejudice against ALL Muslims, as the main stream media has led many to falsely believe.
By the way, Anon @ 3:58, have you been critical of Obama's policy of Drone Warfare that killed as many as 807 civilians in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen? You seem to be quite in a tizzy over DETAINING 109 people until they are properly vetted, but what about KILLING civilians?
The Nobel Peace President, in his 8 years in office, also killed hundreds of civilians in Afghanistan using similar methods. Does any of this bother you, or are you only "morally" concerned with those detainees at the airports?
I don't recall seeing rioters (sorry, i.e. protesters) taking to the streets to "protest" Obama's killing policies. Sounds to me that when it comes to morality, the Left is very selective. They also like to select (i.e. "choice") whether or not an innocent baby in a mother's womb has the right to live, or die.
Amazing hypocrisy!
Here is a source that documents the amount of drone killings under Obama ...

And Trump's supporters will continue to cover for him no matter how many stupid mistakes he makes. Check out the various articles covering his contact with the Australian head of state. Not just what the big Trumpet blows.
Then there is this which just didn't make much news.

also
Most recently, picking up where President Obama left off, President Trump personally authorized a commando raid on a compound in Yemen suspected of harboring Al Qaeda officials. Among those killed were “at least eight women and seven children, ages 3 to 13,” including Nora, the 8-year-old sister of the teenager killed by Obama years before.

I've skimmed through the above conversations on immigration, so forgive me if something like this has already been mentioned.
For me, I have a Christian duty to guard over the safety of my family and neighbors - a sacred duty given to me by God. To abandon them to harm, when it is within my means to stop it, is an offense for which I will have to answer.
Why is it we have the Sex Offender database, and publish the locations of all who are on that list? Its purpose is to help protect those whose safety has been entrusted to us from possible harm. By taking such action, we are not being hateful or lacking in Christian grace or love, for part of our Christian duty is also praying for them daily (at the very least), and showing them God's love in whatever way He leads us to.
That's the ideal, anyway. Fewer and fewer people it seems live up to that ideal in these darkening days.
Truth and Grace are meant to go together in the heart, mind, and life of a Christian.
One of the attributes of Love is to not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoice in the Truth.
Is it loving to put a stop to evil? Is the truth served when we turn a blind eye to evil?
If all grace (love) then the truth lacks. If all truth then grace (love) lacks.
Our laws thus far have been good, and for good, for all. For all.
Only evil should be afraid of good.
Our legal system in not a way to stop people in need of our help...and hope, but the way real help...and hope can be offered.
We run the risk of that changing if it changes too far one way or another.
Extremes never let love and truth work together so at that point then life is extreme. For all.
We will one day wake up in a world that has forgotten that. I hope that isn't happening now.
We are on the verge of that.

I'm acquainted with Michael Voris. He once invited me to speak to a local conference he was giving on the New Age Movement. I don't agree with him on everything, but I consider him to be a good and honest soul. There was another priest whom I met in the 1980s and is now dead who spoke out courageously on these issues -- a Fr. John O'Connor. He met much persecution for his honest and valiant work.

Marko,

Marko,
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; " ...
What time is it?
You see, 5:35AM, the attitude you've shown in your post pushes people away from finding Jesus Christ because it falsely lends credence to Obama's twisted claims about the Holy Bible. Moreover, I hope you don't agree with Obama's mocking dismissal of the beatitudes... You know the story of the good Samaritan, don't you? How much more then should a Christian show love even unto his enemies? Pray for God to soften your heart!
I am a Christian and know the Bible well. Do not presume to judge me. And do not presume to now the effect of my attitude. What you are failing to understand is the difference between the appropriate personal response, which is what Jesus was speaking about, and the appropriate national response.
How many refugees have you taken into your home?
Albert Einstein stated: Wenn es sich um Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit handelt, gibt es nicht die Unterscheidung zwischen kleinen und grossen Problemen. Denn die allgemeinen Gesichtspunkte, die das Handeln der Menschen betreffen, sind unteilbar. Wer es in kleinen Dingen mit der Wahrheit nicht ernst nimmt, dem kann man auch in grossen Dingen nicht vertrauen…
Where the handling is one of Truth and Justice is concerned, there is no differentiation between small problems and great ones. For general viewpoints on human behaviour are indivisible. He who does not take the truth in earnest in small matters, cannot be trusted in matters which are great.
This also goes for the spirit of the law. A king whose law with overrides a law or laws based on justice and truth in matters which affect a few, will soon lead to tyranny for the many, especially considering when such a law is from a mere imperfect man who claims he needs no forgiveness [for he can do no wrong] (as Trump has claimed) and therefore will be unforgiving, devoid of love or empathy in matters small and large!
Anonymous 7:12 PM, three. What about you?
Ray B, I have shown no hypocrisy and you are bearing false witness against me if your statement at 4:41 PM is addressed to me.
You need to stop thinking in the left right paradigm. I believe both Obama and Trump are both selected puppets, playing the left right paradigm as the thesis -antithesis -sythesis of Hegelian dialectics plays out to manipulate the masses to accepting their goals, employing mass trauma and cognitive dissonance tactics through the media and controlled academia. I am against Obama's atrocities and see him as a war criminal puppet the same as Bush Snr, Clinton and Bush Jnr before him. He said he'd close Guantanamo Bay, he didn't, including the other atrocities you mentioned.
I began my points in agreement with Constance over not accepting that the measures in question which Trump has decreed, which is why I have focused on Trump. When did Obama ever expose the truth about missiles, not planes, bringing down the WTC, the after effects of which (the invasions of predominantly Muslim countries) have deliberately caused all the problems now faced, including the loss of our freedoms? Will Trump do so? No! Just as Nero burnt Rome and Hitler burnt down the Reichstag, so did those behind the US Govt launch missiles into the Twin Towers and Pentagon. There is nothing new under the Sun. You have been gradually groomed and manipulated to accept a narcissistic despot such as Trump. He may purport to be pro-life in stopping funding for abortions yet how pro-life is he towards those people trapped at airports, or towards those who can't afford healthcare, etc?
The NWO is already here, and yes, you are entering a period reminiscent of 1930's Germany.... you just don't realise it yet!

I think we are at a point where balance is a lost concept. Yes, we stand on the verge, on the precipice. The dark chasm yawns before us, but the ones pushing us over the edge only see light and perfection ahead. Reality is inverted, good is called evil, and evil good.
The mob, responding with pure emotion, is growing in size. It is what ruled in the French Revolution, and is what will propel us into the New Age (for whatever short time has been determined). But the mob is fickle, and is short-lived, for "Revolution is like Saturn, it devours its own children." (Georg Büchner)
Dr. Russell Kirk wrote about the tension between order and freedom. That tension is best realized in a Judeo-Christian society, because such a society is based upon Biblical principles of Justice, Mercy and Grace, all displayed in a wonderful balance. I have a little card on my desk that has this on it:
Justice: When you get what you deserve.
Mercy: When you don't get what you deserve.
Grace: When you get what you don't deserve.
These three things should be demonstrated in the life of a follower of Christ. I need reminding of it every day! We all deserve God's Justice, but He offered instead His Mercy by offering up Christ, and when we choose to follow Him, He also gives us Grace to finish the journey. And shouldn't we show to others what we ourselves have been shown?
The Left is going to go absolutely ballistic when they see what Trump is up to next. He stated at the National Prayer Breakfast that he is going to "destroy" the Johnson Amendment. The JA prohibits churches (Conservatives that is ... the Left does it all the time and gets away with it) from engaging in politics from the pulpit. During the campaign, Trump promised to get rid of it. It appears he is keeping his word ... AGAIN !
Also, AND THIS IS HUGE, he is planning on rolling out an Executive Order to protect people of faith against the LGBTQ from suing people that stand against this perversion on based upon religious grounds. Remember the Christian bakers that refused to bake a "gay" wedding cake, and were fined $100,000?! This order will protect people like that, as well it should.
The draft is titled “Establishing a Government-Wide Initiative to Respect Religious Freedom.”
Trump is not perfect, but, in your wildest dreams can you imagine Hillary Clinton doing ANY of what Trump has done in the last 2 weeks? In fact, she would have been working overtime to accomplish the Polar opposite of virtually everything he has done !
8:50 I don't know which anonymous you are, but you seem to see things more clearly than the majority of people who post here. I don't agree with your assessment of 9/11, but I also don't agree with the scenario we've been given by the government. On that I'm somewhere in between. not having come across something I think fits in. Everything you have so described fits into New Age planning to reach their goals. If not this despotic narcissistic individual, then the next one provided to the voters who look for someone who promise to lead them.
Ray, I'm with you on this.
If Trump is a puppet of the New World Order, or of the New Age, or of whoever "the powers that be" are, then he's a darn poor one, and they are stupider than I thought.
Oh wait, I forgot. Their stupidity only proves their genius, right? Riiiiight.....
There is such a thing as scissors strategy, and dialectics, and all that. This isn't it. Trump is truly a wild card. That in itself has its own dangers, especially with his personality. But I see in Trump a struggle... the Good Trump and the Bad Trump are duking it out on the White House stage, and it is a spectacle to behold! The reaction in the audience is quite humorous. Well, it's fun until someone loses an eye, anyway.
Forgot to add:
So because of the internal battle going on within President Trump, we should all be praying night and day for him! It is our duty, is it not? We can sway the outcome of that battle. All is not set in stone; not, at least, in regards to the parts we play in tilting the scales of God's justice one way or the other, by pleading for His mercy. If that were not the case, then why pray at all?

Marko ...
Well stated. I am very much aware of the shadow government that pulls the strings of an awful lot of power, and not just here in the USA. Both of America's political parties, although they spout differing public rhetoric, are basically controlled by this shadow elite establishment.
Believe it or not, JFK, like Trump, was also an outsider, whose Presidency was bought and paid for by his extremely wealthy (and crooked) Father. This is a well documented fact; the Kennedy money literally bought "votes" with millions of dollars in bribes. Even former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil admitted that to be true. Joe Kennedy was not part of the shadow ruling establishment, and proved that he wasn't by opposing America's entry into WW 2. He believed we were fighting the wrong side, and should have been helping Hitler defeat the USSR. That was definitely NOT what the establishment wanted. How does all this tie in? JFK was murdered, and it was a massive conspiracy. One huge clue as to why he was is the fact that JFK (in early 1963) printed $5+ Billion in Treasury notes as circulating currency, bypassing the Fed (which is a PRIVATE banking conglomerate). His apparent plan was to re-take control of the money supply away from the Fed. The Fed makes literally HUNDREDS of billions by controlling the money supply of the USA.
Trump is cut from the same anti-establishment cloth. The establishment did EVERYTHING to stop him, but he succeeded, mainly, IMO, due to the flow of information of alternative information sources. There was a time when the establishment's nearly complete control of the media was easily able to control the information that they WANTED people to believe. Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels applied the exact same tactics (as do all totalitarian regimes).
The establishment tried everything to stop Trump, including one of their favorite tactics; character assassination. Nothing worked. What they will do next is anyone's guess. But one thing is for sure, they will never stop their attempts to destroy this populist, anti-establishment movement. We are living in very interesting, but dangerous times. Thankfully, the Christian's ultimate hope is not in this world.
7:53 Thomas Dahlheimer You used a series of words in your answer. I asked for a definition of those words in order to clarify your belief system. In response you came up with promotional material and never answered the question. Now you want me to argue with you about whether I'm being antagonistic. I don't suppose the answers to my question are over at your website so I don't intend to start digging through your material in the hope that the definitions are there. This is not the place to play Go Hide and Seek with you doing the hiding. Ok. I'll accept that you can't define the terms you use so blithely.
Ray B, You write, "Both of America's political parties, although they spout differing public rhetoric, are basically controlled by this shadow elite establishment." Remember, the Republican party gave us Trump. Trump will be around as long as they find him useful. When he is no longer useful, they will bring out another groomed horse from the stable to keep running the race.
Marko, you can't seem to make up your mind whether the group behind the scenes is smart or dumb, whether Trump is smart or dumb and where he fits in. When you figure it out, let us know.
11:57....
First I would say that the Republican Party fought Trump the whole way, and only "gave" us Trump when it was apparent that he wasn't going to succumb to their usual tricks. The establishment had gotten lazy over the years, and weren't used to someone fighting back the way he did. They also weren't prepared for the populist support he got, either. They thought they had that licked when they smeared the Tea Party folks a few years back.
The reason I seem to be unable to make up my mind on a particular topic is that I don't analyze things in a black or white, 1 or 0 kind of way. For example, it's not that I can't decide whether Trump is smart or dumb, it's that he can be both, depending on what Trump-related fact you are talking about. I like to highlight, or discuss, ALL aspects of a topic, to help myself and any others come closer to the truth about something. Sometimes by doing that I can appear contradictory or confusing I guess.
Analysis of world events and of the movers and shakers involved in those events needs a more nuanced approach than "Are they New Agers, or are they not?" Or, are they "x" or "not x"? Most of the time, they can present themselves as both, depending on the audience and the desired goal. Classic Sun Tzu - when weak, appear strong. When strong, appear weak. It throws the defense off their game.
Russia is a classic example of this. There are Kremlin agents of influence on the Right, who seem to be anti-globlalists, and on the Left, who seem to be Communists or other far-left radicals whose goal is a world without borders with liberty and social justice for all (the worldwide socialist revolution). Opposite ends of the spectrum, so to speak, but with the same goal - the creation of a better or perfect world. That is how the scissors strategy works. The revolution of the far-left is their true nature from which all actions spring, but they infiltrate the groups on the right who would oppose them, so as to control the opposition.
I will never have it all figured out, and neither will anyone else. We all see just pieces of the puzzle, and not the whole picture. If anyone thinks they have it all (or even mostly) figured out, then there is an increased danger that intellectual pride will take over. When that happens in a person, it is easier to do "perception management" (or psy-ops or whatever you want to call it) on them, because they find it difficult or impossible to admit mistakes in thinking, so you just feed them what they expect to hear, the contents of which always contains some degree of falsehood to make them miss what's really going on.
The world really is a "wilderness of mirrors".

The "Republican party" did not give us Trump, the people did. The GOP did everything they could to stop him, including, attempting to have a brokered convention in spite of the fact that Trump garnered more than enough delegates to secure the nomination. They then attempted to have him replaced after the phony "abuse" stories came out. Many refused to publicly endorse him after he got the nomination, implying that Hillary would be a better President. In their eyes, Hillary would have been far better, because Hillary would have ensured "business as usual" for the corrupt establishment class.
Will Trump eventually play the game the way the establishment wants remains to be seen. So far, he has not.
Although I have had a life long interest in history and politics (I worked for politicians for the first 10 years of my adult life), my hope is in Christ alone.
Having said that, while we are here in this temporal life, we have a responsibility to advance the cause of righteousness and truth. Luther correctly surmised that to "stay idle in the face of evil is to partake in evil."

"I'd like to hear from Ray B on this one."
Anon ...
Sorry I took so much time to answer you. I wasn't trying to evade your inquiry re: Mother Angelica.
Awhile back, I posted several items on Mother Angelica. One was re: her alleged experience with a stone "baby statue coming to life." After the statue ran down a hallway, it came back and spoke to the good Mother, informing her that she was to build a temple, honoring the statue, and that "all that gave towards the building of the temple would receive a special blessing." She built the temple at a cost of an alleged $50 million. She also went on from there to have duplicate stone baby statues made and sold them on an internet site. Just try to imagine the uproar (let alone laughter) at some "fundamentalist" preacher attempting to pull one off like that one.
The main point about Mother Angelica (aside from her pro Judaism and Islamic statements) is the fact that she held to a false gospel. False, because it isn't the gospel of Christ at all, but rather one in which the "believer" morphs in and out of a state of grace, due entirely to the believer's adherence, or lack thereof, to the RCC Sacramental system. For example: if a Catholic misses Mass on purpose and dies prior to confession, penance, and attendance again at Mass, having committed a "Mortal" sin and fallen from a state of grace, they will spend eternity in Hell. Contrary to popular belief, only "Venial" sins are cleansed by the fires of the fictional place called Purgatory.
A person may be knowledgeable and even opposed to the NAM, as Mother Angelica might have been. However, that is not the criteria by which a person is counted among the saved. It is only through faith, by grace, in EVERYTHING pertaining to the Lord Jesus Christ, including His finished work for redemption on the cross.
Any system that negates that in any way is a false system and must be rejected.
Ray B, While there may be homosexuals in the Catholic community, they are also everywhere. Homosexuality was rampant among the Nazis. Pedophilia with young boys, is rampant in parts of the Muslim community. The target you attack is the Catholic church, not what the homosexual community is involved with.
For those who want to get past RayB's attacks (why does it always remind me of rabies in more ways than one. Was it planned that way?) and are concerned about the negative influence the homosexual culture has on the community, read The Homosexual Network: Private Lives and Public Policy Paperback – June 1, 1986 by Enrique T. Rueda, that is Father Enrique Rueda. In it you will find hundreds of organizations that support the homosexual agenda. Also, "One important manifestation of the elite's sympathy for homosexuality was the fact, uncovered by the author, that the federal and state governments were the_main_funding source for the homosexual movement."
I see where the movers and shakers with power and money involved with New Age attacked the Catholic church early on. Since the beginning the New Age movement has targeted the Catholic Church. Why should it have stopped now.
Anonymous @ 2:00 PM ...
Apparently you missed something. The video I posted citing rampant Homosexuality within the Catholic clergy (both Priests & Bishops, etc.) was produced by Michael Voris, a practicing Roman Catholic. If you want to accuse someone of "attacking" the Catholic Church based on this issue, I suggest you take it up with him.
Here's the original post:
RayB said @ 6:46 PM
In a previous post, I commented that within the Vatican itself, there exists a very powerful "gay" faction. Apparently, I severely underestimated the severity of this rampant sin within the RCC.
Take the time to watch this short video put out by Roman Catholic Michael Voris of "Church Militant" regarding the incredibly high percentage of priests and bishops within the American RCC that are practicing homosexuals.
Incidentally, Voris is a former homosexual himself, and has, in an honest effort to cleanse the church of "gay" clergy, done much to expose the rampant homosexuality within the Catholic Church.
I knew it was bad, but had no idea it was THIS bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8-E_lbdslM
PS: as you will see when you visit this youtube link, Voris has numerous videos regarding the rampant homosexual presence within the RCC.
Anonymous 200 directly above,
Oh please, you want to make a comparison between the Roman Church being half homosexual and other, non religious institutions being homosexual?
You don't get it do you?
Ray B is not out to get the Catholic church at all, he is pointing out that of all institutions on earth it is the very LAST one that should be dealing with this problem, much less overrun by it.
You don't think that God is more grieved by the infiltration of Sodomites in his own house than He is grieved and angered by Sodomites in, say, the Nazis ?
There were sodomites all over the world in the time of King David. God saw them and knew all about them then just as He does now. But when they began to proliferate in God's own temple on Mount Zion, that's when God became furious and Israel and Judah both payed dearly; seven times harder than the rest of the world for the same sins.
The point is that the Roman Catholic Church has represented Christianity on this planet for the last seventeen hundred years,
and now the Vatican is sin sick with corruption. The Vatican is the leadership. If the laity in the pews is corrrupt that's pretty bad, but if the leadership is corrupt, severe judgement is not long to follow. The head is corrupt and now the whole body now suffers.
Are you really comparing the Catholic Church to the Nazis and the Muzzies?
Get a clue.
You sound like a complete idiot.
Paul, Nowhere is there perfection where there are human beings. Homosexual behavior can lead to many evils as anyone who has researched the topic has found. Concentrating on finding it in the Catholic establishment is very discouraging, but those who condemn that community's behavior would spend more time in discouraging it wherever it is found than just looking at one place where it is found. If you really had a problem with homosexuality, you would be condemning in the places nearest to where you live.
As you claim to speak for God, I do wonder where and when he speaks to you.
Frankly I think a few of you take pleasure in finding in finding fault with the Catholic Church. It makes you feel superior, as if you know what is going on where others don't know. I truly think you dislike the Catholic Church more than you wish to disparage homosexual behavior.
RayB,
Kellyanne Conway is a devout Catholic. Then you cite favorably another devout Catholic, Michael Voris. Please explain why you are praising two people whose religion you believe is false and un-Christian.
Further, you claim to be an American patriot. The most conservative member of the court, Justice Clarnce Thomas, is a Catholic. The late Justice Scalia was also a devout Catholic (his son is a priest). President Trump admires Scalia and works closely with Conway. Are you troubled by all these Catholic patriots in high places?

I let the scriptures speak for themselves. Have you even read the Bible? It isn't just a few verses in Romans, you know. God hates sodomy. It's blood touching blood and it's too perverse to even describe in mixed company. Even the Bible usually speaks of it in very muted terms, though one knows exactly what God is talking about:
You still don't get it if you want to say that homosexuality in the Roman Church is akin to homosexuality, (aka Sodomy), in worldly institutions like the Nazis or the KKK. No one is surprised by the latter but the former is like Truth standing on it's head.
The Roman Catholic Church is one institution that ought to be standing up against filthy perversions. Who cares what idiots like the KKK think or do?
I don't speak for God but you seem to want to play the devil's advocate.
There are millions of devout Roman Catholics who love the Lord, I have no doubt. But the minute my preacher wants to coddle and advocate for sodomites, I'll be outta that particular church in a flash. There are still plenty of good preachers and pastors in this world, I think. I don't have to be loyal to apostates, on account of traditions held up like idols. Why follow the traditions of men and not the Commandments of God?
Your postition is weak and lukewarm, but very popular.

RayB,
"Kellyanne Conway is a devout Catholic. Then you cite favorably another devout Catholic, Michael Voris. Please explain why you are praising two people whose religion you believe is false and un-Christian."
I feel almost silly that I have to answer something that is so obvious, but here goes. I commended Kellyanne Conway for standing up against the bias of the main stream media. Her discourse with Chuck Todd had nothing to do with religion. Apparently you hold to the view that if one agrees or disagrees with ANYTHING a Catholic says, it must mean that ergo you must agree with or disagree with Catholicism. Strange.
As to your reference to Michael Voris. I do NOT agree with his theology ... at all. I merely cited him as a Roman Catholic source regarding Roman Catholic Church's obvious tolerance of rampant Homosexuality within its clergy. You seem to want to kill the person that posted the message that was created by another messenger.
You also cite Justice Clarence Thomas, whom I admire as a Constitutional Originalist, by agreeing with Justice Thomas on Constitutional issues does not infer that I agree with him on everything. It's strange that you think it would. On the other hand, I do not "admire" Chief Justice John Roberts, the Jesuit trained Justice that LIED when he twisted and turned the Constitution upside down in order to rule, as the deciding vote, in favor of Obamacare.
Watch the Michael Voris's video that I posted on the first page of this blog. I'd love to hear your opinion on what this Roman Catholic has to say about the rampant corruption within his own church.
Paul,
In short, fight the perversion of Homosexuality (which God HATES) everywhere but in the Catholic Church (where studies show that as many as 55% of Catholic Clergy in the USA are Homosexuals).
No wonder the pope stated: "If Gays seek the Lord and do good, they go to heaven. Who am I to judge?" How does one "seek the Lord and do good" while in sinful rebellion against a Holy God? In contrast to the pope, the Apostle Paul wrote that even an "effeminate" man SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
I have noticed a very distinct softening among Roman Catholics lately regarding the issue of whether or not Homosexuality is a sin. Many proclaim "they are born that way." In order to remain true to their church, they are forced to soften their positions, IMO.
Paul you wrote "You don't think that God is more grieved by the infiltration of Sodomites in his own house than He is grieved and angered by Sodomites in, say, the Nazis?" and "God saw them and knew all about them then just as He does now." and "Even the Bible usually speaks of it in very muted terms, though one knows exactly what God is talking about"
You seem to have missed certain verses. http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Adding-to-the-Bible/ Your words are not in the Bible. I presume you feel you are not adding to the Bible which leaves only one option. You must have heard those words directly from God.
Where there are humans there will be human weaknesses, even on this blog. Unfortunately many believe, in and out of the Catholic church, that the Bible is a living document that can be interpreted in connection with the times. Probably the same people who think that way about the US Constitution.
Too many people believe that exaggerating or diminishing the words in the Bible is not the same as adding. The words themselves are solid enough. There is no need for substitutions, additional adjectives or adverbs. Those who study the Bible as they would study law will refer to other sections in the Bible in connection with the portion to be studied.
"Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals.[1] Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure.[1] These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness..."
Beware of a physical or mental bite of the brain caused by rabies. Uncontrolled excitement and confusion. So sad.

Christine, you really need to do some real research on how Breitbart has changed from what Andrew supported to the money making operation it is now.
The site is a money making operation and if someone wants to invest in it, there is a lot of money to be made on both the right and the left. If the conservative side was just composed of well meaning people who cared about the future of the US, there wouldn't be all of that big money to pay out to spokesmen and those who run the Republican party. Andrew Breitbart was someone very special, different, willing to speak out on what was going on. So were those who originally worked with him. A lot has gone on since Breitbart died. You want to check things out? Start with Bannon.

RayB,
Glad to see you respect Kellyanne Conway and Clarence Thomas despite the distaste you hold for their religion. Would you trash their religion to their faces like you do here on a regular basis, or would you be polite and keep your mouth shut? Do you consider Kellyanne and Judge Thomas to be Christians?
I wonder what you would do if America elected a conservative Catholic for a president, such as Alan Keyes or Pat Buchanan.
RayB,
Regarding corruption in the Catholic Church, old news, Bella Dodd testified many, many years ago about this. Dorothy mentioned Rueda's book again, it was a seminal work. The Magisterium's teachings on faith and morals remain exactly the same, in spite of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Tim Kaine, and any and all garden variety cafeteria Catholics whether dead, living, or yet to be born.

It may come as a surprise to you, but I enthusiastically supported Pat Buchanan back when he attempted to take the nomination away from the globalist George H. W. Bush. I've read virtually every book he has written, and have read his columns for decades. Why? Because I agree with him regarding his views on history, social patterns, and politics, but not religion. I always liked Alan Keyes and did not know that he was a Catholic, which, incidentally, does not change my opinion of him regarding his political and social views.
As far as would I keep my "mouth shut" re: meeting Justice Thomas and Kellyanne Conway. The answer is simple; IF the subject came up and they inquired as to my beliefs, I would certainly state them without compromise from a Biblical foundation.
One more item; I maintained a 15+ year relationship with two attorneys (twins) that just retired at 90 years old. Both are staunch Catholics from their youth. We had numerous, cordial conversations re: politics, current events, and "religion." I often explained to them what the Bible taught on various subjects, and, more times than not, they were surprised at the Bible's doctrinal teachings. The last time we spoke together, we talked extensively about Purgatory. Again, both were surprised that the Bible teaches no such doctrine. I went on to explain the complete, finished work that Christ accomplished on the cross, which negated any need for Purgatory. As I was leaving, the one brother said to me that he was "fascinated" by our discussion. No wonder. At 90 years old, with death just around the corner, what a thing to look forward to ... constant torment to pay for Venial sins! THAT is not the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I wonder what you would have said to them?
Regarding purgatory, unless you are Catholic, don't worry about it. There are many different theories regarding what happens after one dies. Humans come up with justifications for what is believed. Human reasoning is imperfect and what makes logical sense to one person is all a matter of faith to someone else. If someone wants to believe the books about people who came back from the dead, that's another way to go. We all learn soon enough, perhaps too soon, what is going on, and even then our understanding after death may or may not correlate with what we understand before death. Better to concentrate on rules for living a moral life.
"There are many different theories regarding what happens after one dies."
For the believer in Jesus Christ, who by faith knows Him as the way, the truth, and the life, there is no theory only the facts because of what God has actually said in scripture so we don't need to guess, speculate, pontificate, or theorize by making it up as we go.
The word of God is not imperfect as we humans are, it is infallible. If HE said it then it has to be perfectly right for all time and eternity. How could God get it wrong?
Better to know the forever answer he supplied us, that our only Salvation is in Christ's atoning death and risen life alone, and He has told us what comes after this life, depending upon whom our trust is in. Better to be sure your faith and trust is exclusively in Him, then this mortal, short stint down here called life is based in God's truth rather than human guesswork.
Joh 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
Joh 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
Joh 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
Joh 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
Joh 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Joh 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
and don't miss this.......
Joh 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again
Believe Him and be settled about forever because we are guaranteed tomorrow are we?
Or don't. Your call.
Anonymous 6:19 You've chosen what you have faith in. Believe what you have faith in. That's where free will comes in. There is no way you can force others to have faith in what you have faith in. There are many different sets of beliefs based around the Christianity found in the New Testament. You can't prove your view of Christianity is true in the same way that physical scientists prove their theories. Pound your fist on the table all you want to.

Okey alright I get it. You haven't read the Bible at all except for a couple verses in the very last book called Revelations, and that, in only the very last chapter of it; (you're a typical "I'll read the very end and then pretend that I know what it says" person), That, and you found a websight that seems to have a mantra about those very couple of verses, since your entire argument is based on those two or three verses at the very end of the the entire sixty six books of the King James Version. Which one of us is talking out of their depth? Which one of us is subtracting from the whole Book of Books?
My statements are based on Genesis,(try chapter 19), Exodus, Leviticus,(read the whole of chapter 18), or try Judges chapter 19, read Isaiah, check out Ezekiel chapter 8,(but do read all of Ezekiel), and Zechariah, Lamentations, Zepheniah and a number of other prophets, as well as the Gospels, when Jesus mentions Sodom and Gomorrah, and when Jesus mentions Tyre and Sidon, and when Paul's letter to the Romans spells out very clearly what God thinks about Sodomy. And of course the Book of Revelations which you want to quote three verses out of, so broaden your search to include chapters 2 and 3, and keep in mind that the references to a group called the Nicolaitans is about a cult of "anything goes" sex.
As I said before sodomy and sexual perversion is as old as time itself and God hates it. But when it infiltrates His sanctuary, and His people, JUDGEMENT is soon to follow.
I don't hate anyone. I'm telling you what God has said over and over. There are too many instances to recall here. For you to repeat now that "all people have evil in them and all institutions get corrupted" will only prove again that you don't "get it", and that you just want to defend the Vatican and not the Word of God. The Vatican is the head of the Roman Catholic churches, which is the largest denomination of Christianity in the world. The people are the body. The head is sick and the whole body is suffering.
I love Catholics, but it may be too late to root out all the corruption in the Vatican. Or maybe not. With enough prayer anything is possible, but right now it's "their hour and the power of darkness." All this happened once before at the Reformation. Are the people going to abolish the Knights of Malta and the Jesuits? Are they ? That's what needs to be done for starters, and this Pope is a Jesuit and probably a sodomite.
Please don't bother to repeat yourself and compare them to the Nazis again. It only demonstrates your ignorance.
Which one of us is adding to, OR subtracting from, the Bible?
Jesus Christ is not a theory, nor anything He says 6:19 PM. He is the Advocate you'll need and have the freewill to refuse. We all believe something.
Indeed, it was God that gave you that freewill.
If you even read what Jesus said or what was said of Him in the passages I quoted then you can take issue with that..or not. But it will take issue with you, so at the present feel free to think and believe as you will...
You see? No force from me either, but just to be clear....just so ya know...the Truth does the pounding, not me. I don't have that kind of power.
Because it's got your number and eternity is coming for you too one day.
We aren't guaranteed tomorrow like I said.
RayB,
Glad to see you don't have a problem with a Catholic conservative lije Buchanan or Keyes holding the presidency. My question pertained to whether you would be as rude and obnoxious in person to Kellyanne and Clarence Thomas about their religion as you are here?
Bluebird ...
Glad to see that you are so unbiased and objective.
Please give me specific examples of me being "rude and obnoxious." You can easily copy and paste any of my comments for all to see.
Thank you,
RayB
RayB, your rude, obnoxious, mean-spirited comments toward and about Catholicism have graced this comment section for YEARS. Amazingly, Susanna overlooks it and still entertains you when you change tac and behave respectfully to her. She is more Christian than I could ever be in that regard.
I'm not digging through comments to prove anything to you. We've all seen it. You justify it because of your rabid anti-Catholic bias, I've seen this arrogance on many occasions. I just happen to find it hilarious that you're so keen on Kellyanne, Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, and Justice Thomas. Do you admire JRR Tolkein? He was a devout Catholic too. LOTR is a "Catholic" book (oh, horrors!). Alveda King? Yep, Catholic!
Don't worry, the next time I catch you in the act of Catholic-baiting I will call you out and ask you whether you would say the same to Justice Thomas's face or to the lovely Kellyanne. I rarely comment here, but I will make a point in this case.
RayB's comments about the Catholic Church are so caring. He hasn't claimed to be a Catholic but he cares so much about the Catholic Church that he will give it his full efforts. He wants to make sure it gets straightened out. He is overwhelmed by the scope of the problem. He will do everything in his power to help. He has even found a new friend who will help in the project. He is letting everyone know of the problem so there can be a mass Intervention. RayB's efforts can't be matched by anyone so I want the world to know. I'm sure if you get on your knees Ray B, God will give you his full attention through his beloved Son and will answer your prayers. When you take care of this problem, will you solve Syria's problems.
