My Take: Stop sugarcoating the Bible Post Date: 2012-02-26 09:30:12 by A K A Stone

(CNN) The Bible is a gritty book. Very raw. Very real. It deals with people just like us, just as needy and screwed up as we are, encountering a God who would rather die than spend eternity without them. Yet despite that, it seems like Christians are uncomfortable with how earthy the Bible really is. They feel the need to tidy up God. For example, look in any modern translation of Isaiah 64:6, and youll find that, to a holy God, even our most righteous acts are like filthy rags. The original language doesnt say filthy rags; it says menstrual rags. But that sounds a little too crass, so lets just call them filthy instead. And ...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- The prayer vigil and public witness, will take place on Thursday, February 16, at 11:00 A.M. It will be on the 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW side. The name of the event is called, "A Time to Stand." "A Time to Stand" is in response to President Obama mandating religious institutions coverage of abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraception in their health plans. "A Time to Stand" agrees with United States Catholic Conference of Bishops when they state: "We note today's proposal (by the President) continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governances of religious ...

Obama: I Pushed Dodd-Frank And Health Care Reform Because Of Christ At National Prayer Breakfast, Obama grounds his controversial policies in the Bible. Tax hikes for rich [coincide] with Jesus's teaching. posted Feb 2, 2012 10:06am EST President Barack Obama has been taking lumps from Republicans for years over his support for Wall Street and health care reform, but today at the National Prayer Breakfast he claimed support from on high to defend two of his most controversial legislative achievements. "And so when I talk about our financial institutions playing by the same rules as folks on Main Street, when I talk about making sure insurance companies arent ...
World Peace Can Wait: Santorum, Gingrich Post Date: 2012-01-01 16:03:31 by jwpegler

The Catholic Church asks us all to pray for world peace today, and January 1 is "World Peace Day" for Catholics around the world. Why, then, do the two Catholic candidates in the GOP primaries Santorum and Gingrich lead the field in their demands for endless war? Memories are short, and politicians lie all the time, so why remember? Well, nonetheless, cast your memories back to Iowa's 2008 caucuses. Mike Huckabee, an evangelical preacher, traveled to San Antonio the Saturday before the caucuses, striving to garner the support of Pastor John Hagee, of the Cornerstone Catholic Church there. Hagee, founder of Christians United For Israel, has millions of followers ...

Moms form new scouts with focus on God, family and country Pat Centner Two little girls, one with a bouquet of flowers, the other clasping her playmates hand, run merrily across the backdrop of a huge American flag. These elements make up the logo of America Heritage Girls (AHG), a God-centered scouting program based in West Chester, Ohio. According to Patti Garibay, Executive Director, the colorful logo pretty much tells the story of American Heritage Girls. Those of us involved in the initial start-up of our program wanted a logo that would pay homage to God and to Americas heritage, says Patti, and we felt the American flag met that ...
Jesus Christ took hell very serious Post Date: 2011-12-29 21:59:22 by A K A Stone

Jesus Christ took hell very serious. In Mark 9:43-47 the Lord says, 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Jesus Christ took hell so serious He could say without the slightest hesitation to remove your ...

Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Matthew 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by ...

Christmas is Not about a Homeless Couple Post Date: 2011-11-29 17:08:37 by CZ82

Christmas is Not about a Homeless Couple Today is Black Friday, as to be in the black rather than in the red. Retailers look forward to this day even if employees dont. People have been camping out to get those special deals. My wife prefers to shop early and online. With Congress wrangling over amnesty for illegal aliens, the budget, taxes, earmarks, and the extension of unemployment benefits, it wont be long before we hear liberals telling conservatives how unchristian they are. And they will appeal to the Bible in an attempt to make their point. Every Christmas season we hear the inevitable revisionist version of the Christmas story in order to ...

Ancient bone box might point to biblical home of Caiaphas Post Date: 2011-11-19 17:17:34 by A K A Stone
1 Comments
An ancient burial box recovered from antiquities looters three years ago contains a mysterious inscription that could reveal the home of the family of the figure Caiaphas, who is infamous for his involvement in the biblical story of the crucifixion of Jesus. The burial box, also called an ossuary, was discovered in 1990, but the inscription was just recently verified as legitimate (and not the result of forgers trying to increase an artifact's value) by Yuval Goren of Tel Aviv University and Boaz Zissu of Bar Ilan University. The box is made of limestone, is covered in decorative rosettes and has an inscription. In the Bible story of Jesus' crucifixion, a Jewish high priest ...

The House of David Inscription Post Date: 2011-11-19 16:48:06 by A K A Stone

The House of David Inscription (also known as the Tel Dan Inscription) was discovered in 1994 during excavations at the ancient city of Dan. It is considered by many to be the first reference to the "House of David" discovered outside the biblical text. The House of David Inscription appears to be a fragment of a victory monument erected by a king of Damascus (Aram) during the 9th century BC, some 250 years after King Davids reign. The fragment specifically mentions victories over a king of Israel (probably Joram) and a king of the House of David (probably Ahaziah). The House of David Inscription (Tel Dan Inscription) currently resides in ...

The Most Horrific Graveyard in the World Post Date: 2011-11-13 23:06:23 by A K A Stone
0 Comments
Its a record of death, of disease, of violencethe most horrific graveyard in the world. But when did these terrible things occurbefore Adam sinned? Let us consider what the Bible teaches concerning life before Adam ate the forbidden fruit and sin entered the world, and compare it to the fossil record. What Do We Find in the Bible? Animals Were Once Vegetarian In Genesis 1:2930, God instructed Adam and Eve to eat fruit and herbs, and He instructed the animals to eat plants. After the Flood God told Noah he could now eat everything, as he once ate plants (Genesis 9:3). In other words, Adam and Eve were originally vegetarian. Since Gods instructions ...
Feedback: Are the Laws of Logic Really Laws? Post Date: 2011-11-13 22:55:27 by A K A Stone
2 Comments
My friend and I (he is Christian as well) were talking about the laws of logic and we sort of hit a bump in the road. He mentioned that maybe laws of logic are simply a description of the universe that we humans have given names to. For example, we know things cannot be contradictory, but we know that because we observe it in the universe. Now, does this not account for the laws of logic in a naturalistic way? Rather than saying they are immaterial laws, this seems to say that they are merely descriptions of a behavior, so to speak. I am hoping that someone could clear this up for us. Abel Abel, Great question! You are right in assuming the laws of logic exist. Otherwise, we ...
