Challenging Athiests on the Existence of God

I love Dinesh D'Souza! Here is a video of him speaking at Saddleback Church about the existence of God and his debates with some of the strongest Atheists of our culture.

His whole philosophy is to be bi-lingual, meaning that we need to understand the Bible in order to talk with fellow Christians, but also understand history and science. You can't battle someone who is secular (an atheist) with the Bible if they reject the authority of it. Battle them using the information they accept as truth.

He doesn't encourage going out of your way to debate them, but when Christianity comes under attack, he gives great insight into how to counteract, and he explains the newest tactics being used in the fight.

We're dealing with a deeper level of evil and hatred against Christianity than ever before.

He makes such valid points, and I really admire his unique perspective!

Let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Set the Bible Free!

"That's what I loved. That's what I still love. These stories are beautiful and contagious. They're unexpected and, at times, unexplainable. They're human and bitter -- often more violent than we want them to be and often way more gracious than we could ever imagine. They help us and confound us. We love them and we hate them, but one thing is always true -- once we know them... once we have them... they never, ever leave us.

And the worst thing I can say about the world I live in today is that most people I know don't have them. They may have a church. They may have a Bible. But they don't have these stories.

We have seminaries to help us study these stories.

We have churches to a help us apply these stories.

But what do we have to help us LOVE these stories?

These stories are alive. But they are trapped behind church walls and in leather-bound books on dusty shelves. Imprisoned by theological systems that are running out of their usefulness. They've been taken hostage by haters and bigots and politicians. They've been abused and neutered and disfigured. And worse than all of that, they've been forgotten." MORE

Ebola Outbreak 'Totally Out Of Control'

"An outbreak of the terrifying Ebola virus emerged in the West African nation of Guinea in February and has been spreading ever since, infecting people in Sierra Leonne and Liberia as well. It is now the biggest and deadliest outbreak of Ebola since the virus was identified in 1976.

The disease's spread seemed to slow down for a while, but has picked up in recent weeks. An estimated 528 people have been infected, and 337 have died in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. While it's likely that many cases go uncounted, the Associated Press notes that previously, the largest reported death toll was in the Congo in 1976, when 280 people died. (The most widespread outbreak infected 425 people in Uganda in 2000, killing 224.)

"The epidemic is now in a second wave," Bart Janssens, the director of operations for Doctors Without Borders told the Associated Press. "It is totally out of control." MORE

Sheriff Joe: Obama 'Intentionally' Dumping Illegals

Arpaio thinks President Obama is deliberately courting that controversy because the current crisis on the border gives him a chance to issue more executive orders, or prod Congress into passing immigration reforms that suit the president’s taste.

“Why are they hiding these kids from the media?” Arpaio said. “Well, I think I have a theory here. I don’t think they’re all young kids. I would bet there are 16-, 17-year-olds. How do we know they’re not members of a gang coming across?”

Sheriff Arpaio’s suspicions on this point appear to be well-founded, as The Washington Times has reported complaints from the National Border Patrol Council that some of the “children” surging across the border are indeed teenage gang members, often with blatant gang tattoos.  MORE

Gov Rick Perry Sending DPS to Protect Border

“Texas can’t afford to wait for Washington to act on this crisis and we will not sit idly by while the safety and security of our citizens are threatened,” Gov. Perry said. “Until the federal government recognizes the danger it’s putting our citizens in by its inaction to secure the border, Texas law enforcement must do everything they can to keep our citizens and communities safe.”

The U.S. Border Patrol says agents in South Texas have made nearly 160,000 arrests since the Oct. 1 start of the fiscal year. That surpasses the more than 154,000 it made last year. Many of them are children from places like Guatemala and El Salvador.

The operations handled by DPS will continue at least through the end of the calender year. Law enforcement must also report back monthly to the governor and legislature with results from their enhanced efforts. MORE

Dinish D'Souza: Obama's America

Dinesh D'Souza was the creator of the Obama's America: 2016 movie that was released in theaters across the country in 2012. He has a very interesting perspective on President Obama and he believes that our current economic situation is pre-meditated.

He has a new book that was just released called America: Imagine a World Without Her, and he has another movie coming out on July 2nd that pertains to the book. His perspective is SO fascinating to me, and I believe it really helps explain the mindset of the man who is slowly crippling the United States of America... thereby fulfilling Bible Prophesy.

I really enjoy his information, and he has multiple books NOT pertaining to Obama that I'm interested in diving into. He is a great debater on things like communism, evolution and even life after death. He goes head to head with the big-named guys who support these topics, and he holds his own.

He discussed his books on these topics in his interview with George Noory on Coast to Coast AM on June 11, 2014. I listened to the video on Youtube, but it was immediately removed and I cannot find it to post it for you. It was called "America's Image". If anyone out there can find the video, please send me the link so that I can attach it to this blog.

TX Governor Rick Perry: More Than Just Mexicans Are Crossing Border

This was on Fox News this morning (June 17, 2014)

The Rise of Mahdi?

Less than 2 weeks after the release of 5 Islamic terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, and one week after the Pope allowed Islamic prayer at the Vatican ...

Sen. Lindsey Graham, another Iraq War proponent, echoed Rogers with a dire caution of his own.

“Iraq and Syria combined are going to be the staging area for the next 9/11 if we don’t do anything about it,” the South Carolina Republican said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “If Baghdad falls ... a disaster awaits us of monumental proportions.” MORE

Sunni Muslim militants fighting to set up a hardline Islamic regime in Iraq posted shocking photos over the weekend showing captured Iraqi government soldiers being loaded by the dozen onto trucks, then gunned down in a mass grave on the side of the road. The photos documented dozens of men being loaded onto flatbed trucks then taken to a shallow ditch where it appears that they were summarily executed face down with their hands tied behind their backs. MORE

Iraq is battling an offensive by Sunni militants who have advanced to within 80 kilometres (50 miles) of Baghdad's city limits after seizing a swathe of the country's north.

"Iraq has the capacity and necessary preparations for the fight against terrorism and extremism," foreign ministry spokesman Marzieh Afkham was Sunday quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency. "Any action that complicates the situation in Iraq is not in the interests of the country nor of the region," Afkham said, adding: "The people and government of Iraq will be able to neutralise this conspiracy."

Afkham's comments come a day after President Hassan Rouhani said he believed the Iraqis have the capacity to "repel terrorism" and that Iran had not been asked for help by its neighbour. But in surprise comments, he added that Iran may consider cooperating with its arch-foe the United States to fight the Sunni extremist militants in Iraq.

"If we see that the United States takes action against terrorist groups in Iraq, then one can think about it," he said, despite the lack of diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington for more than three decades. MORE

Christian Kenyans were specifically targeted for execution. “They came to our house at around 8 p.m. and asked us in Swahili whether we were Muslims. My husband told them we were Christians and they shot him in the head and chest,” a resident told CBC News. MORE

Another, 19-year-old Muhammad Hassan, from Portsmouth, was a student at a prestigious school. He warned on Twitter that if the US doesn’t cease threats over drone strikes on ISIS positions, 9/11-style attacks on America would follow.

The third, also from Portsmouth, promised a “killing spree” of British citizens if he were ever to return to Britain. “Imagine if someone were to detonate a bomb at voting stations or ambushed the vans that carry the casted [sic] votes. It would mess the whole system up,” came another tweet from Junaid Hussain, before he re-tweeted a warning from a like-minded countryman for British people to “watch out,” because “we’ll come back to the UK and wreak havoc.”

Among his other offenses, Hussain has also been seen posting bomb-making advice on the internet, as well as tips on how to smuggle explosive devices through airport security. MORE

The president did not give a deadline for the troops exit, only that the 275 soldiers will remain in Iraq for as long as they are needed to protect US interests. About 160 troops are already in Iraq, including 50 Marines and more than 100 U.S. Army soldiers. Some of those soldiers have only recently arrived.

Under the authorization Obama outlined, a U.S. official says the U.S. will put an additional 100 soldiers in a nearby third country where they would be held in reserve until needed. The White House says the U.S. military personnel are entering Iraq with its consent.

'The personnel will provide assistance to the Department of State,' White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement, 'in connection with the temporary relocation of some staff from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to the U.S. Consulates General in Basra and Erbil and to the Iraq Support Unit in Amman [Jordan].'

'The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad remains open,' Carney added, 'and a substantial majority of the U.S. Embassy presence in Iraq will remain in place and the embassy will be fully equipped to carry out its national security mission.' MORE

This just makes my stomach turn...

You can't tell me that the Catholic church is a church founded on Christ's principles. This is a church where evil runs deep and rampant. The foundational principles of the Catholic church are pagan to the core. Do some research and you'll find that I'm speaking the truth. 

Research Father Malachi Martin. I love him. He was an adviser to multiple popes and wrote numerous books about the Roman Catholic church. He was faithful to God and remained faithful to the church, but he spoke very openly about the evil he saw behind closed doors inside the Vatican.

I'm not saying that all Catholics are bad... but there is definitely a sinister form of evil that prevails throughout this church's leadership - penetrating its very foundation. This is definitely the false church of Revelation.

"‘I’m not sure whether I knew it was a crime or not,’ Carlson responded. ‘I understand today it’s a crime.’

When asked when he first realized it was a crime for an adult - including priests - to have sex with a child, Carlson, 69, shook his head. ‘I don’t remember,’ he testified.

Yet according to other documents released by attorney Jeff Anderson, who is representing an alleged clergy abuse victim, Carlson showed clear knowledge that sexual abuse was a crime when discussing incidents with church officials during his time in Minnesota.

In a 1984 document, for example, Carlson wrote to the then-archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis - John R. Roach - about one victim of sexual abuse and mentioned that the statute of limitations for filing a claim would not expire for more than two years."

A few months ago.. I stumbled across a video of a Roman Catholic nun who spent 20 years serving in a Convent. She had escaped and years later was recorded giving her testimony of what actually happens behind the closed doors of a convent. It will break your heart.

I'm attaching the video of her testimony below for you to hear for yourself.

"For the first time in history, Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran were heard at the Vatican on Sunday, in a move by Pope Francis to usher in peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Francis issued the invitation to Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during his visit last week to Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority."

Slender Man Now Linked to 3 Violent Attacks

Click HERE for full article

"A fictional horror creature popularized by Internet memes is now linked to three violent crimes.

A week after two 12-year-old Wisconsin girls allegedly stabbed their friend 19 times to honor Slender Man, more real-life connections to the spooky character are emerging.

A man accused of killing two cops and a civilian before committing suicide with his wife in Las Vegas on Sunday often dressed up in costume as Slender Man, a neighbor told KTNV.

And a Cincinnati mom told WLWT she thinks her daughter may have been inspired by Slender Man when she attacked her with a knife in their kitchen, wearing a hood and white mask."

"Angry with the West's response over Ukraine and eager to diversify its options, Russia is moving rapidly to bolster ties with North Korea in a diplomatic nose-thumbing that could complicate the U.S.-led effort to squeeze Pyongyang into giving up its nuclear weapons program."

"Russia's proactive strategy in Asia, which also involves cozying up to China and has been dubbed "Putin's Pivot," began years ago as Moscow's answer to Washington's much-touted alliance-building and rebalancing of its military forces in the Pacific. But it has gained a new sense of urgency since the unrest in Ukraine — and Pyongyang is already getting a big windfall with high-level political exchanges and promises from Russia of trade and development projects."

"Contacts with China have also deteriorated in the last month, particularly since Washington indicted five Chinese officials for cyber espionage, a charge Beijing denies. 

A near collision between U.S. and Chinese warships in January, a mock Russian attack on a U.S. destroyer in the Black Sea in April and periodic confrontations between long-range bombers and other aircraft show the risks, experts warn. 

Last week on Japan and China accused each other of "dangerous" and "over the top" actions after warplanes came within a few dozen meters. Any additional challenge to the West, some analysts say, is that both Russia and China know Washington would struggle to handle simultaneous confrontations. 

U.S. forces are spread around the world while Moscow's and Beijing's, while smaller, are almost exclusively focused on their immediate neighborhood. Since 2008, they have increased military spending 30 and 40 percent respectively, according to London's International Institute for Strategic Studies."

Bergdahl... Prisoner of War, or Terrorist Traitor?

Click HERE for full article

"According to firsthand accounts from soldiers in his platoon, Bergdahl, while on guard duty, shed his weapons and walked off the observation post with nothing more than a compass, a knife, water, a digital camera and a diary. 

At least six soldiers were killed in subsequent searches for him, according to soldiers involved in the operations to find him. The Pentagon was not able to provide details on specific operations in which any soldiers killed during that time were involved.

Also, many soldiers in Bergdahl's platoon said attacks seemed to increase against the United States in Paktika province in the days and weeks following his disappearance.
"Any of us would have died for him while he was with us, and then for him to just leave us like that, it was a very big betrayal," said former U.S. Army Sgt. Josh Korder, who has the name of three soldiers who died while searching for Bergdahl tatooed on his back. 

Many of Bergdahl's fellow troops -- from the seven or so who knew him best in his squad to the larger group that made up the 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division -- told CNN that they signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing to never share any information about Bergdahl's disappearance and the efforts to recapture him. Some were willing to dismiss that document in hopes that the truth would come out about a soldier who they now fear is being hailed as a hero, while the men who lost their lives looking for him are ignored."

"Dressed in all white with a striped shawl across his shoulders, the gaunt-looking American looks up at the Black Hawk chopper circling overhead. Armed Taliban men stand around him, one with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher ready. When the chopper lands, the American is led there by two men, one carrying a white flag. He is given a patdown, loaded on to the helicopter and whisked away."

President Obama acknowledged Tuesday that his Taliban prisoner swap could blow up in his face — or somewhere else around the globe.

The five hardened terrorists sprung from Guantanamo Bay for suspected deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s return could rejoin the jihad on America, the President conceded in defending his decision.

“Is there a possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? Absolutely,” Obama told a news conference in Warsaw. “That’s been true of all the prisoners that were released from Guantanamo. There’s a certain recidivism rate that takes place.”

Mullah Salem Khan, a Taliban commander in Afghanistan, said the men were already bracing for battle. “As soon as they arrived in Qatar, they rejoined the Taliban,” he told The Daily Beast website. “We don’t care about U.S. conditions and obstacles.”

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), head of the House Intelligence Committee, said the White House opened the door for the freed prisoners to kill Americans overseas.

“Four are serious commanders likely to return to the battlefield ... those individuals are likely to reengage in combat operations against U.S. soldiers,” said Rogers on MSNBC. “That’s unconscionable.”

Sen. John McCain, himself a prisoner of war in Vietnam, called the Taliban five the “hardest and toughest of all” and “wanted war criminals.”

"The middle school girls allegedly stabbed their classmate 19 times Saturday in an act of allegiance to Slenderman, a mythical creature they read about online. The girls said they read about the character on creepypasta.wikia.com, a website that publishes short, creepy stories. They planned to kill the girl and then run away to Slenderman's mansion in a Wisconsin forest, they told police. The two girls were charged as adults with attempted first-degree murder Monday. If convicted, they could face up to 65 years in prison."
