| The Message "bible" is Disgusting |
| 30.4.06 |
But the word of the Lord endures forever." Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you. (1 Peter 1.25 NASB)
I have no respect for "The Message" bible. It continually waters-down the message of God. A prime example is the rendering of Hebrews 10.31. I will compare:
From the King James: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
From the New King James: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
From the New Century Version: "It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
From the World English Bible: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
From the New American Standard Bible: "It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
From the New International Version: "It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
From the New Living Translation: "It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
Even the heretical New World Translation says: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of [the] living God." (Which many Jehovah's Witnesses will do if they do not repent from their cult)
Now for "The Message" rendering of Hebrews 10.31: "Nobody's getting by with anything, believe me."
What is wrong with that version? It totally takes out any hint of God's Judgment. The people who came up with the trash they pass off as a Bible (The Message) need to repent for their mishandling of God's Word!
When even the HERETICS translate that verse correctly, it shows how far out The Message bible is! |

| What islam Breeds |
| 27.4.06 |
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12.21 NKJV)
This is a verse lost on islam. islam breeds a type of person who rejoices over the mutilation of a young man who was just eating with his family. The same type of people who danced at the deaths of about 3,000 on September 11, 2001.
WorldNetDaily interviewed Abu Nasser of the Al Aqsa Brigades and he said the following:

Comatose Florida teen 'best target we can dream of'
Terror leaders rejoice in injuries of boy critical after Tel Aviv bombing

In a WND exclusive interview yesterday, Abu Nasser, a senior leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the West Bank, rejoiced in Wultz' injuries. Abu Nasser is part of the Brigades leadership in the Balata refugee camp suspected of plotting the attack.
"We are sorry there was not more of this stuff. American and Zionist- this is the best target combination we could dream of. This is the ideal target. He is a young American who came to encourage the enemy to continue his war against us," Abu Nasser said.
islam embraces the depravity of the world while Christianity (not romanism, but Biblical Christianity) embraces Christ whom the world hates because He exposes the vileness (if that's a word) of their sin. islam makes much of the world's sin look trivial. Sickness.
This is Christ: And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. (John 3.19-20 NKJV)
This is islam: "murder them and treat them harshly"(9.123); "Strike off the heads of the disbelievers"; and after making a "wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives" (47.4); "slay or crucify or cut the hands and feet of the unbelievers, that they be expelled from the land with disgrace..." (5:34); "for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods" (22:19-22)
That is why Christians do not blow themselves up to kill others and why we do not rejoice in the death and suffering of others. Rather we begin works to alleve suffering- even in islamic nations.
The above is also why muslims rejoice in the suffering and death of others. mohammed and the koran teach it. islamic history is full of it. |

| A/G Dismisses Pastor for Protesting Abuses |
| 17.4.06 |
Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil; who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words, to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly. They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?" They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" Surely man's mind and heart are cunning. But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads. All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done. The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him! (Psalm 64 World English Bible)
The politics of the A/G were bad when I was in college, but they continue toward ungoldiness. They have a part of their constitution that says they are to "shun" dismissed ministers (all A/G members are supposed to be bound by this). I think that sounds very WatchTower-ish. May the SBC move away from this trend and not toward it!
Pastor Contends AOG Officials Dismissed Him for Protesting
Power Abuses
By Jim Brown
March 15, 2006
(AgapePress) - A longtime Assemblies of God pastor says a godly district superintendent in the
denomination was unjustly forced to resign his position in New York because top church officials
simply did not like his style of leadership. In addition, the pastor claims that he too was dismissed
for questioning the handling of the ordeal.
In mid-December 2004, Assemblies of God General Superintendent Thomas Trask convened an
emergency meeting of 21 New York presbyters, in which Superintendent Saied Adour was asked
to agree to 14 restrictions on his ministry or else resign. When 68-year-old Adour surprised Trask
by accepting the restrictions that would effectively strip him of all his duties and powers, the
presbyters voted 17-3 that he resign.
In addition, Adour says he was offered a monetary bribe in the form of enhanced severance pay if
he resigned. But Ray Barnett of Amsterdam (New York), a pastor in the denomination for 23
years, has called attention to the fact that no formal charges were ever leveled against Adour for
moral, ethical, legal or doctrinal failure.
"It is simply incongruous with the very meaning of a voluntary resignation if 20 men are going to
vote [on whether a minister must] resign," Barnett asserts. He says the action by the New York
Presbytery violates the denomination's constitution and bylaws.
But after he criticized the treatment Adour received, the veteran Assemblies of God pastor says
he was dismissed by the denomination. And the minister contends that similar abuses of power
by the denominational leadership have occurred across the United States.
The Assemblies of God "once were a very godly organization," Barnett says. "I do not believe that
is entirely the case [anymore], though it has many godly ministers and missionaries." The minister
believes the church has an opportunity to correct itself, and hopes this will happen.
However, if this kind of abuse of power "goes unchecked and uncorrected," Barnett notes, "I think
the Assemblies of God has no other option except to go the way [of many other denominations],
which is into complete backsliding over apostasy."
Dennis Brewer, Sr., an Assemblies of God elder and attorney with the American Center for Law
and Justice in Texas, says there is an "epidemic" of officials in certain Assemblies of God districts
declining to accept resignations, favoring instead "a kangaroo trial and conviction to punish the
local pastor that dares buck the 'Sanhedrin'" of church leadership. |

This is a disgrace. What if I flew a U.S. flag over a flipped Mexican flag in Mexico? I'd be thrown in prison by the corrupt police and slammed by the greasy-sham of a president Vincente Fox. Here, though, the native American-born kids get in trouble for defending the flag that many of our relatives, and some of us, fought and died for. I am sorry, but I am happy the kids tore down the Mexican flag and burned it when it was raised over the Arizona high school. I would applaud if that was done to any flag that was flown disrespectfully over the flag of the nation in which it flies. I would not fly a U.S. flag over a Brazilian flag while in Brasil- even on my own property. That is class-less and disrespectful.
NOTE TO GEORGE W. BUSH: Quit sucking up to the Mexican president and illegals. NOTE TO CONGRESS: PROTECT OUR BOARDERS AND KICK OUT ILLEGALS NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT IS OR FACE A REVOLT AT THE BALLOT BOX!!! |
