December 15, 2010 journal, what is the meaning of Christmas, who changed it to Xmas while the Christian people slept? Who are calling it holidays? Is the name of Christmas offensive to some people? Not really but it is an excuse to change the name from Christ. I endorse the spirit of giving and family get-togethers but Christmas has been so broadly commercialized nowadays and Christ and Christianity have all been completely removed. Christmas has been hijacked by these money lords and prostituted to commercialization. Christ Yesu has been replaced by Santa Claus even in the churches all over this country. Churches are now sending out their Christmas greetings with political correctness calling it Holidays without using the word Christ-mas at all for fear it may offend some atheists. Keep in mind that Christmas like Easter originated with pagan worship from the pit but if we are to preserve any thing sacred about Christmas, then we must restore the Name of Christ and proudly trash all the practices that avoid using the name of Christ the Messiah. This e-mail is from a friend "Received a Christmas card from my Reverend today. It is a posed picture with he and his family in front of a 1960's era VW van. He has on a wig, old jeans and a banjo, his wife is dressed in a colorful dress playing a tambourine, and his kids are playing a flute, small guitar, and making a peace sign. The caption says, "Hippie Holidays! from the Peltons". What a wonderful testimony to the love and sacrifice of our LORD to dress up like the free love generation. Maybe next year they could dress up like Muslims. They do not even use the word Christmas as I suppose some atheist could be offended by the reference to Christ. We certainly wouldn't want to offend any sinners. A total joke for a Christmas card. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, very similar to his sermons. I could see doing something like that if you were drunk at Myrtle Beach, but not to send out to your congregation. I guess I am just too self-righteous." There's a new breed of preachers on the block with an Antichrist spirit of modern politics. And these are within the Protestant Church. At least the Catholic Church never changes. The Protestant Christian Church ministers seem to be eager to change and the only ones. 25 years ago some Baptist & most Methodist were celebrating people's deaths at funerals. Does the Bible not speak of mourners and a period of mourning yet there these clowns are yelling loudly celebrating the death of loved ones like a circus or like those thanking God for dead soldiers. This kind of cross eyed thinking comes with their Biblical compromise. A more serious group of ministers serve faithfully thinking that Jewish people are going to receive the Messiah when they are dead wrong. No form of Judaism will ever change. Bible says to not cast your pearls before swine and it would be referring to unbelievers. It would be referring to those who heard the gospel but reject the gospel of Christ Messiah. The Antichrist is not just one man but possibly millions who trust in and worship money professionally. It takes a real heartfelt experience with God Almighty to change a life to a born again experience and to become a saint of God registered in heaven for all eternity. God don't consider whose names are on earth church roles when calling home his saints. Salvation is by faith in Yesu Christ the Lord who redeemed us in his death on the cross. Congress continues to past laws to indebt and to enslave America until we are wiped out. The tax deduction for the rich and the don't ask don't tell open gayes for a sissy military. Now we will have man frolicking after man and woman after woman defying God's law. I would not want them protecting my blindside on the battlefield. When I was in military there were 2 career men busted and discharged instantly, one officer, one staff sergeant. When I was growing up there was only one homo heard of, he died by his 30th birthday. Now they report that 13,000 have been discharged under their "don't ask don't tell law". Is America and all the world turning out perverted like dogs losing their decency & dignity. First Corinthians 6, 9-10 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor efeminate, (homosexuals) nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10-Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God". We are under the command & control of the red Edom in the final days of God's tolerance of evil on the earth. The truth will set the people free as it will bind all the wicked of the world. Genesis 19-1 "And there came 2 angels to Sodom at even; and Lot set in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; 2-And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 3-And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did break unleavened bread, and they did eat. 4-But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5-And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may 'know' them. 6-And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7-And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8-Behold now, I have 2 daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them what is good in your eyes; only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 9-And they said, stand back. And they said again, this one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs to be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And he pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 10-But the men put forth their hand, and pull Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11-And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 12-And the men said unto Lot, hast thou here any besides? Son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whosoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: 13-We will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to destroy it. 14-And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his son's in law. 15-And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy 2 daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 16-And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his 2 daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. 17-And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, less shall be consumed. 18-And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19-Behold now, thy servant has found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou, has showed me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountains, less some evil take me, and I die. 20-Behold now, this city, is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, is it not a little one? And my soul shall live. 21-And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22-Haste thee, escape thither, for I cannot do anything until thou be come thither, therefore the name of the city was Zoar. 23-The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 24-Then the Lord rained down upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; 25-And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grow upon the ground. 26-But Lots wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt". Quoting from the King James version Bible. While Senator Harry Reid says open homosexuality in the military will make us stronger, it will actually make us weaker and will make them probably a target of our friendly fire. 100 military veterans chained themselves to the White House fence in protest of the wars. This event was not covered by the press for political and ethnic reasons, the biased media. Politicians promise to end the wars get elected then they betray those that voted for them. This sure is a end time reprobate society when natural laws of God or trampled under feet by Diane S. Dew " I-Although homosexuality has in these last days become more and more acceptable to society, it is nonetheless evil and it is wicked in the sight of God. II. When God created man and woman, He intended that there remain a respect within His people for the distinction He had made between the two sexes. Deuteronomy 22:5 A. Homosexuality became widely practiced in Old Testament times. Genesis 19:5-11 Judges 19:22 (The Hebrew word here translated "know" literally means "to have intercourse or relations with." It is the same word used in Genesis 4:1, in which it is recorded that "Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain ..." It is also used in the same sense in Genesis 24:16; 1 Samuel 1:19b; and Luke 1:34.) B-It was still common during the time of the first century church. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 C-Scripture even indicates that, in the end times, the homosexual way of life will become openly practiced and generally accepted by society as a whole. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 III-How serious an offense is it? A-Under the Law, the act was considered "worthy of death." Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:27, 32 B-Scripture clearly says those guilty of this transgression are unfit to inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 1 Timothy 1:10 IV. It is an abomination to God. A. The sin is self-defiling. Leviticus 18:22, 24 B-It is unnatural (Romans 1:27, 31; 2 Timothy 3:3), and to accept or encourage this way of life is "contrary to sound doctrine" (1 Timothy 1:10). C. God abhors it! Leviticus 20:13, 23. D. Believers are expected to "put aside" such evil practices of their former way of life. 1 Corinthians 6:9, 11 E. Because they refused to abandon their wicked ways "God gave them up." (They became reprobate.) Romans 1:24, 26-3 Ephesians 4:17-19 V. It is possible to be set free from the bondage of this offense. The sin is not unforgivable. 1 Corinthians 6:11, 9-10 Diane S.

Leviticus 20:13 Jewish law forbids homo collaboration "Bible-Believers in Military Alerted to Prohibitions of Participation in LGBT Policies Mandated by the Proposed Repeal of the Law Banning Homosexuals in the Military. Monsey, NY - December 17, 2010 -- Ahead of a looming Senate vote on repealing the current law banning homosexuals from the Armed Forces, Rabbi Noson Leiter, Executive Director of Torah Jews for Decency, an Orthodox pro-decency and religious-liberties advocacy organization, issued the following statement: "We ask citizens to urge their Senators, the GOP leadership, and swing Senators (202-224-3121 (24/7)), to do whatever it takes to stop the treasonous effort to force servicemen to betray their Biblical beliefs. A homosexual-ban repeal would hijack the zero-tolerance military regimen, and thereby threaten to: 1. force Bible-believers to shower and use washroom facilities together with flagrant homosexuals in zero-privacy, and 2. sleep in close quarters with flagrant homosexuals, contravening religious directives to avoid indecent influences and situations; 3. potentially impinge on the rights of chaplains and others to faithfully share the undiluted Torah perspective on volitional, sinful conduct condemned by the Bible as abominatory (Lev. 20:13); 4. force-feed Bible-adherents heretical LGBT dogma2; 5. require participation in/ collaboration with anti-Biblical programs and policies that legitimize sin; 6. as well as decimate the morale and readiness of decency-minded servicemen, 7. resulting in unforeseen numbers of combat troops killed due to breakdown of unit cohesion, and 8. deplete the Armed Forces (according to polling data)3, ultimately threatening a draft - along with the pursuant conscription of Bible-adherent 18-year-olds into a fully homosexualized military. "As Jews, we are immensely indebted to the American People, and especially the Armed Forces, for the religious liberty we have enjoyed. It is the values of this Constitutional Republic that have been vital in keeping America a haven from godless despots. Foundational to those values is the principle that America is not a crude, pure Democracy - in which mobocracy rules. Certain principles are to be safeguarded, regardless of the whims of Man. Included in those are individual rights - rights derived from our Creator4, not from the State. The Founders recognized that the right of Bible-believers to follow the Bible is not given by Man, and therefore cannot be taken away by Man. Moreover, as George Washington stated in his Farewell Address, religion and morality (in context, referring to the Biblical type) are essential for a free and prosperous Republic. "These and other considerations compel us to call attention to the Torah principle that government has no authority to compel Man to disobey our Creator.4 We therefore urge Senators to rise to the challenge of defending Religious Liberty by defeating the ban-repeal - regardless of any "religious exemptions" added to expedite the euthanasia of Biblical values. "Whatever the outcome, we intend to offer any possible assistance in advancing legal action to safeguard the rights of Jewish, Christian and Muslim servicemen whose religious liberties are threatened by LGBT tyranny.
