Court Rules That Chimps Are Not People

What if a lady has a chimp lover who treats her better than any man has ever treated her?

What if she wants to marry him?

What if she wants to leave her money, house and belongings to him?

What if a chimp is 99.7% the same DNA as a human....isn't that close enough in his "evolutionary process" to being a human?

LET THE COURTS RULE!!!

New York Court: Chimps Are Still Property, Not People

What has thumbs and no habeas corpus entitlement? Chimpanzees. A Manhattan Supreme Court judge ruled Thursday that chimps are still viewed as property, not people, under the law.

The lawsuit was filed by the Nonhuman Rights Project, a group that wanted two research chimps — named Hercules and Leo — out of confinement.

NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reports "the animal rights group was trying to get them released to a sanctuary by arguing that the chimps have complex cognitive abilities and should be considered legal 'persons.' In the ruling, Justice Barbara Jaffe acknowledges that similarities between chimpanzees and humans 'inspire the empathy for a beloved pet.' "

The judge wrote that someday they may get legal rights, but that courts don't embrace change quickly. The chimps are held by Stony Brook University.

As we reported previously, this isn't the first time that the Nonhuman Rights Project has presented its case in court — Justice Jaffe heard arguments in May.

Science provided the legal background:

"The case began as a salvo of lawsuits filed by NhRP in December of 2013. The group claimed that four New York chimpanzees — Hercules and Leo at Stony Brook, and two others on private property — were too cognitively and emotionally complex to be held in captivity and should be relocated to an established chimpanzee sanctuary. NhRP petitioned three lower court judges with a writ of habeas corpus, which is traditionally used to prevent people from being unlawfully imprisoned. By granting the writ, the judges would have implicitly acknowledged that chimpanzees were legal people too — a first step in freeing them."

I guess those of us with Biblical worldviews dodged another bullet for now...but make no mistake about it...ONE DAY the courts will rule that chimps, apes, orangutans and other primates deserve equal protection under the law as humans receive.

The argument will go something like this: "We protect humans with low IQ's and still allow them to marry, live, work and love....so why not protect these primates who have similar IQ's?  We would NEVER cage a human with a low IQ and put him on display in a zoo, what kind of barbaric society puts primates in cages and deprives them the hope chance for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?  Not too many years ago black people were considered property too.  Let's be on the right side of history and free the chimps to be the people they want to be!"

And most of the deluded folks in Western society will look at each other and say, "Yes!  Chimps are just evolving humans so let's grant them the same rights!"

Soon after that happens a man or woman will demand to marry a primate and anyone who raises their voice in disagreement will be called PRIPHOBIC and also bigoted, intolerant and racist!

I can almost see all the liberals chanting in the streets with their signs saying, "CHIMPS ARE PEOPLE TOO!!  CHIMPS ARE PEOPLE TOO!!"

As we reject God we can expect the foolish and futile thinking to increase.  Stories like these will happen everyday as EVERY MAN decides what is right and wrong FOR HIM ALONE...which will also mean that there can be no ultimate TRUTH because the concept of right and wrong cease to exist.

ISIS believes it's right, moral and just to kill little kids caught eating during Ramadan....so if they believe that and all agree with it, HOW can it be wrong?  Muslim men in Afghanistan enjoy feeding homeless boys...so long as they agree to dress as young women and allow the men to sodomize them...and since most Muslim men in that country agree with the practice...HOW can it be wrong?

China, Russia, Iran, Pope & U.S. to Address UN General Assembly

This article goes along with the previous post we just did....so we won't re-hash China and Russia, BUT THIS ARTICLE ADDS in Iran, the Pope and ALSO the word EVER!!  Awesome!!  Can it get any better?!?

UNITED NATIONS: The presidents of China, Russia, Iran and the United States are scheduled to speak at the 70th annual U.N. General Assembly of world leaders in September _ a rare appearance for Russian President Vladimir Putin and the first for Chinese President Xi Jinping. 

The United Nations issued its first draft list of speakers Monday for what could be its largest ever gathering of world leaders. 

(see that phrase...LARGEST EVER!)

Pope Francis is also set to address the General Assembly a few days before President Barack Obama, Putin, Xi and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani speak at the gathering. 

Two years ago, a historic phone call between Obama and Rouhani during the U.N. meeting prompted speculation of a rapprochement between the nations and resulted in an interim nuclear pact that was followed by the landmark nuclear deal announced this month. 

The nuclear deal, and its implications for the Middle East and beyond, is expected to be a key topic in speeches this year. 

The list of speakers is expected to change several times before the high-level ministerial meeting begins Sept. 28, but so far countries not sending a head of state include India, Britain, Syria, Saudi Arabia and North Korea. 

Other countries sending heads of state include France, Mexico, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Egypt, Venezuela, South Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Iraq. 

The Palestinians are listed as sending their head of state, while Israel is sending its head of government.

Let me recap....we have the LARGEST EVER gathering of world leaders and Russia, Iran and the Pope will all be speaking!!

Please, please, please DON'T BE SURPRISED if a loud trumpet blows and Jesus calls His followers up into the clouds!  There may be a crown awarded to those who are longing for Christ to appear in the clouds and call us home!

2 Timothy 4:8
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

1 Thessalonians 4
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

China and Russia to Hold Joint Naval, Air Drills

You will have to decide for yourselves whether you think this is news is prophetic or just interesting.

Of course many prophecy watchers believe that China will play a part in the Last Days and may be mentioned as one of the Kings of the East which marches its soldiers across the dried up Euphrates.

Also many watchers believe that Russia is the Magog mentioned in Ezekiel 38 that ultimately leads a Muslim coalition out to destroy Israel.

BEIJING: China and Russia will hold joint military drills in the waters and airspace of the Sea of Japan, Beijing said Thursday, the latest defence cooperation between the countries. 

The exercises will take place August 20 to 28 in the Peter the Great Gulf and other areas off the Russian coast, defence ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told reporters. 

A key purpose of the drills was to "further enhance their capabilities of jointly coping with maritime security threats", Yang said, adding they will include training in air defence, anti-submarine and surface warfare, and landings. 

China will send seven naval ships including a destroyer and a frigate, along with fighter jets and other aircraft, Yang said. 

Russia's contingent will include surface vessels, submarines and fixed wing aircraft, he said, adding that both sides will dispatch ship-borne helicopters and marines. 

The drills come as Beijing and Moscow intensify cooperation in military, political and economic spheres.

Hmmmm....China and Moscow are intensifying cooperation in military, political and economic spheres.....and they would both love to knock America off its high horse and have a shot and calling the shots....

Should this concern us?...or just interest us?

"Fear not!  All these things must happen." --Jesus

Ok, so let's just keep watching the headlines while reading our Bibles and having confidence that Jesus is in control of everything.  We have NOTHING to fear.

More Proof that Eve Was First Woman?

I actually stumbled across this article on an atheist Twitter site as they were using the article to ridicule Creationists who dismiss evolution as an explanation for everything....but it's pretty cool when "Dr. Georgia Purdom earned a Ph.D. in molecular genetics from Ohio State University" writes an article and says the evidence points to ONE ORIGINAL WOMAN.

Since joining AiG, Purdom has written numerous articles and been featured in several DVDs and presentations. Her latest work, titled “The Genetics of Adam & Eve,” examines the Genesis account of mankind’s origins from the perspective of genetics.

“One of the biggest debates in Christianity today concerns the first two people: were Adam and Eve real or are they the product of myths?” Purdom wrote in an article for AiG. “Those who claim we have evolved over millions of years believe that Adam and Eve, as the Bible teaches about them, have no place in human history. They argue that the science of genetics proves we cannot be descended from only two people. Many Christians have accepted this position and propose that their historical existence is irrelevant to Christianity and the gospel.”

In an interview with Christian News Network, Purdom proposed that the historical existence of Adam and Eve is imperative for a proper understanding of the gospel.

“A historical Adam and Eve and original sin are the foundation of the gospel,” she said. “The bad news, sin and death, begins in Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve sinned.”

Appreciating that Adam and Eve were real people helps people realize the need for a savior, Purdom explained.

“We need the good news, grace and life, which is found in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,” she said. “Jesus is the solution to the problem of evil that began in Genesis 3. Paul made this connection very clear in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15.”

Purdom then detailed some recent genetic findings that support the Bible’s creation account.

“One of the most compelling genetic evidences for an original human couple created by God is mitochondrial DNA research done by creation geneticist, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson,” she advised. “He clearly shows that the common human female ancestor of us all (biblical Eve) lived within the biblical timeframe of several thousand years ago.”

These findings, along with other evidence presented in “The Genetics of Adam & Eve,” directly contradict the claims of evolutionists, said Purdom.

“This female ancestor could not have lived 100,000 or more years ago as the evolutionists claim,” she continued. “In addition, genetics clearly shows that human and chimps do not share a common ancestor. There are many, many differences in their DNA that completely undermine the possibility of shared ancestry only a few million years ago.”

Here; http://christiannews.net/2015/07/27/science-supports-genesis-geneticist-says-evidence-confirms-historical-adam-and-eve/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=twpage&utm_campaign=chupate 

Yes, she is right!  If you are a Christian who has bought into the whole idea that we "evolved" from chimps over millions of years then you are automatically calling the story of Adam and Eve a lie or if that sounds too harsh you say it's a myth.  So if you believe that Adam is myth, then what do you think of the fact that Jesus referred to Adam as the first man....so was Jesus lying?  And if you believe Jesus was lying then how can you claim to be a Christian who is worshiping Jesus?  Why would anyone worship someone they think may be ignorant (at best) or a liar? (at worst)

It's funny how these atheists have ramped up their ridicule and scoffing on anyone who believes in a Creator.  This article was posted on a site where the atheists all lined up to mock it and laugh about how anyone could be so STUPID to deny evolution as a fact.

This may be one more sign of how close we are to the Great Tribulation.

Someone just mentioned to me yesterday how quickly we have gone from a nation that was full of people who NEVER mocked God and Christians into a nation that OPENLY mocks God and followers of Christ.

Israel's Choice: War Now or Nuclear War Later

Another day finds another article about Israel right in the heart of the Wall Street Journal.

The world continues to buzz about Team Obama and the nuclear deal they laid out with Iran...and it seems most of the world can't imagine how Team Obama could have been so naive. How can you trust people who scream "DEATH TO AMERICA!" as soon as you walk out the door?

Here is the headline in the Wall Street today:

ISRAEL'S CHOICE:  CONVENTIONAL WAR NOW, or NUCLEAR WAR LATER

[I]n allowing Iran to get the bomb, [Obama] is not averting war. What he is doing is setting the stage for a nuclear war between Iran and Israel.

The reason stems from the fact that, with hardly an exception, all of Israel believes that the Iranians are deadly serious when they proclaim that they are bound and determined to wipe the Jewish state off the map. It follows that once Iran acquires the means to make good on this genocidal commitment, each side will be faced with only two choices: either to rely on the fear of a retaliatory strike to deter the other from striking first, or to launch a pre-emptive strike of its own.

Yet when even a famous Iranian “moderate” like the former President Hashemi Rafsanjani has said—as he did in 2001, contemplating a nuclear exchange—that “the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything. However, it will only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality,” how can deterrence work?

The brutal truth is that the actual alternatives before us are not Mr. Obama’s deal or war. They are conventional war now or nuclear war later. John Kerry recently declared that Israel would be making a “huge mistake” to take military action against Iran. But Mr. Kerry, as usual, is spectacularly wrong. Israel would not be making a mistake at all, let alone a huge one. On the contrary, it would actually be sparing itself—and the rest of the world—a nuclear conflagration in the not too distant future.

God told us that the eyes of the entire world will be on Israel in the very last days...and certainly they are.

In the history of the world there has NEVER been a people group who has been dispersed from their land, language and culture for 2000 years and then returned and rebuilt it all!!  The fact the Israel even exists is a major, modern-day miracle that should give us even more confidence in the Word of God.

Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of war and that if he didn't cut the wars short by HIS RETURN to earth that NO FLESH would survive.  Furthermore He said that all these things MUST happen.  So as we read the news and understand that the table appears to be set for the VERY Last Days we should remember to thank Jesus for counting us as worthy to be eyewitnesses to possibly most amazing events in the history of planet earth!

Are you fearful of the things that are coming or excited to see Jesus fulfill all the things written?

Two Moms, One Dad Equals One Family

So what happens when two lesbians cohabiting start to have sexual desires for a man?  Simple!  Find a man to move in with them and they can all share one big bed and have sex equally with each other!

Awesome!!!  It's called POLYAMORY and please add it to your vocabulary because you are going to start seeing it a lot.  Also there will soon be a push to recognize these folks as a REAL FAMILY in our society and grant them marital rights so their kids won't be stigmatized when their school friends find out they have two moms and a dad!

Do you disagree with this trend?  If you do you are a HATER, INTOLERANT and POLYPHOBIC....so quit it!

ABC Nightline just did another story that aired a few days ago....so watch the video at the link below because you BETTER understand it's going mainstream fast.

Dani and Melinda’s home is a little more crowded these days, filled with the two of them, their husband Jon and their two babies, Ella and Oliver.

These two moms and one dad are polyamorous, or as they call it, "a triad."

Dani and Melinda were a lesbian couple living together in northern California. But four years into their relationship, Melinda said she began to realize she also desired a man. At first, Dani wasn’t sure about sharing her partner with a man.

“I kind of call it the ‘mano-coaster,’ the notion of Melinda needing to fulfill that need,” Dani said. “Melinda has probably been the most emotionally painful experience of any of my relationships. ... I was obsessed with her and when she was not as obsessed with me as I was with her, of course that hurts.”

"[But] we got really serious," Dani added. "And she was really direct, like 'I want a family, I need a man, and we need to make this happen.'"

So, the two women created a list of qualities that would make up their ideal male counterpart and started looking.

“We didn’t want a feminine man, just because we’re both very feminine, so we wanted someone that would hold that role of masculinity,” Melinda said. “In walks Jonathan and we’re like, ‘wow.’ All of the sudden we’re recognizing this beautiful man.”

From the start, Jon said having two women was “very fulfilling” and the three of them would have sex together often.

“It was very active," he said. "It was very shared."

But this triad said their unusual relationship wasn’t just about having sex with each other.

“It’s about family," Dani said. "It’s about working together as a team, it’s about accomplishing your dreams with people, with your partners.”

I'm reminded of MANY different Bible verses as I watch this video.  The first one is the last verse of Judges which says, "In those days Israel had no king: everyone did as he saw fit."

In these days in America no one fears The Lord so everyone does as we see fit....and because of this judgment is coming and may already be starting.

The other passage if from Numbers 16 and recounts the story when Korah, Dathan and Abiram all rebelled against Moses while wandering in the desert.  If you haven't read that story, here is how it ends.....

23 Then the Lord said to Moses, 24 “Say to the assembly, ‘Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.’”

25 Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 He warned the assembly, “Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.” 27 So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing with their wives, children and little ones at the entrances to their tents.

28 Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these things and that it was not my idea: 29 If these men die a natural death and suffer the fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead, then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt.”

31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions. 33 They went down alive into the realm of the dead, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community. 34 At their cries, all the Israelites around them fled, shouting, “The earth is going to swallow us too!”

35 And fire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

Holy Smokes!!  God told the people to move away....because God incinerated these people who questioned His instructions!!

When I see the gay parades and the polygamists and sexually deviant all marching around with pride in their perversion and their outright rebellion against God....I wonder if we should all MOVE AWAY from them so we don't get caught up in God's wrath?

Of course I know that things aren't going to happen that way for followers of Christ....but I'm just telling you that as I watched the video the story of Korah being swallowed and the men burned up is what popped into my head....

"Move away from their tents...." said God.

Bad News for God?

Maybe some of you saw the news last week that the Keplar telescope has discovered a planet that scientists believe to be very similar to earth?

Cool!  For us Bible believers it is simply more evidence that our God is an awesome God!  Who can fathom a Being who speaks and massive planets and suns appear?

But for certain atheist folks, they are hoping that this news of another planet similar to earth will forever put away the "fable" about the God of the Bible creating everything.

Check out this article written in Huffington Post and how he mocks the Bible and those who believe in God/Jesus;

The discovery of Kepler-452b is not likely to see the public swoon with a collective rendition of Kumbaya. But this Earth 2.0 is a huge if under-appreciated discovery, not because Kepler-452b is unique but for just the opposite reason; there are likely thousands or millions or even billions of such earth-like planets in the universe. The discovery of just one such world is good evidence for many more: after all, we know of 100 billion galaxies each with as many as 300 billion stars (big variation per galaxy). Astronomers estimate that there are about 70 billion trillion stars. Math wizardry is not necessary to conclude we did not by chance find the only other possibly habitable planet among that huge population of stars.

With this discovery, we come ever closer to the idea that life is common in the universe. Perhaps you are not convinced. That is OK; let me speculate what would happen should we ever find evidence of life beyond earth even if you think such discovery unlikely. I would like here to preempt what will certainly be a re-write of history on the part of the world's major religions. I predict with great confidence that all will come out and say such a discovery is completely consistent with religious teachings. My goal here is to declare this as nonsense before it happens. I am not alone in this conclusion that religion will contort to accommodate a new reality of alien life.

Let us be clear that the Bible is unambiguous about creation: the earth is the center of the universe, only humans were made in the image of god, and all life was created in six days. All life in all the heavens. In six days. So when we discover that life exists or existed elsewhere in our solar system or on a planet orbiting another star in the Milky Way, or in a planetary system in another galaxy, we will see a huge effort to square that circle with amazing twists of logic and contorted justifications. But do not buy the inevitable historical edits: life on another planet is completely incompatible with religious tradition. Any other conclusion is nothing but ex-post facto rationalization to preserve the myth. Let us see why more specifically.

From Genesis 1:1, we get:

God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of god he created him; male and female he created them.

Nothing in that mentions alien worlds, which of course the ancients knew nothing about. Man was told to rule over the fish on the earth, not on other planets. But god would have known of these alien worlds, so it is curious he did not instruct the authors to include the language.

There is also a problem with Genesis 1:3: And God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. Well, the earth is only 4.5 billion years old, yet the universe, and all the light generating stars in ancient galaxies, are more than 13 billion years old. So when god said, "Let there be light" there already had been light shining bright for at least 10 billion years. He was flipping a switch that had been turned on eons before by the thermonuclear reactions in billions of stars that predate earth. That light bathed other suns and other planets long before the earth was a loose accumulation of rocks orbiting our sun. Since this is the story of all creation, these tidbits seem an important omission that will undermine the entire story when we find life elsewhere. We were late to the game of "let there be light."

Holy Mocking!!  If you read the rest of the article....it seems the world is heading this way FAST!! Ridiculing God and His Word has become the fashion trend of the day.

As it was in the days of Noah.....
