No, Planet Nine Won't Kill Us All

I wanted to post this article quickly just in case yesterday's post was causing anxiety to anyone.  Turns out planet nine isn't going to collide with earth and kill everyone!!

So if you already went out and bought a new sports car on payments, believing we only had a few months left....you may have jumped the gun.

There is so much wrong here. First of all, the Post's tweet, and the new 30-second video, describe Planet Nine as an officially discovered and confirmed world. This is not the case; astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, both of whom are based at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, inferred the planet's existence based on the strange orbits of a half dozen small objects in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy bodies beyond Neptune.

Astronomers are now actively hunting for Planet Nine — which Batygin and Brown think is about 10 times more massive than Earth, and orbits about 600 times farther from the sun than our planet does — but to date, it has not been detected.

Second, we have nothing to fear from Planet Nine, even if it does exist, according to Brown.

Earth Could Be Destroyed by Rogue Planet Any Day Now

You simply gotta love these headlines!!

Today we find one from the New York Post;

Newly discovered planet could destroy Earth any day now

A mysterious planet that wiped out life on Earth millions of years ago could do it again, according to a top space scientist.

And some believe the apocalyptic event could happen as early as this month.

Planet Nine — a new planet discovered at the edge of the solar system in January — has triggered comet showers that bomb the Earth’s surface, killing all life, says Daniel Whitmire, of the University of Louisiana.

The astrophysicist says the planet has a 20,000-year orbit around the sun and, at its closest to us, it knocks asteroids and comets toward Earth.

Fossil evidence has suggested most life on Earth is mysteriously wiped out every 26 million to 27 million years.

Whitmire claims Planet Nine’s passage through a rock-laden area called the Kuiper Belt is responsible for the “extinction events.”

Conspiracy theorists in the ’80s and ’90s previously claimed a red dwarf planet called Nibiru or Nemesis, which orbits too close to Earth every 36,000 years, was behind the events.

Now some are convinced there will be a collision or a near miss before the end of April.

Nemesis or Nibiru was widely dismissed as crackpot pseudo-science — until Planet Nine was identified in January by the California Institute of Technology.

Wow!  We could all be toast later this month!!  If that's the case, I still have a lot of things on my bucket list!....I better quit my job and get training fast to be a NASCAR driver!

Here's the deal friends....does the Bible say there will be terrifying things appearing in the sky that will make men faint with fear?

Yep.

Does that Bible also promise us that during this dispensation of grace, in which we find ourselves, that the sun will always rise, there will be winter and summer, and that the earth will continue going around the sun just like it always has?

Yep.

Of course once the rapture happens and this dispensation of grace ends....planet earth is going to go through such a tremendous upheaval that NO FLESH would survive unless Jesus returned to put an end to the carnage.

Hmmm....that sounds like what scientists call an EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT? (ELE)

So....MAYBE the fact that scientists are now talking about a rogue planet is ONE MORE SIGN of how close we are to The Great Tribulation?

And IF that's the case....how much closer are we to Jesus coming to collect His bride?

Are you ready?

North Korea Threatens USA Again

In the Strange Kingdom of North Korea, the tiny fat man with gout who demands worship as a god has come up with more threats for the USA.

North Korea has claimed they will kill more people in America than the September 11 attacks.

A ranting article in the hermit Stalinist nation's state-run publication DPRK Today said their weapons are trained on the White House, the Pentagon and other vital strategic locations.

It read: “If three civilian airplanes’ attacks from 15 years ago resulted in 3,000 deaths and brought a nightmare to life for the US, the outbreak of our final war will wipe the country from history, leaving no time (for them to) even regret or have nightmares about it,” read the bulletin, seen by NK News.

Kim Jong-un’s regime has issued a series of threats recently - even threatening long-time ally China.

“Being beaten by only three civilian airplanes, the US was ashamed in front of the world and has suffered incalculable psychological and economical damage,” the article added.

The provocative article comes soon after Kim Jong-un defied a UN weapons ban to oversee the testing of North Korea's new surface-to-air missiles - the country's state media has reported.

The test comes amid growing tensions between the North Korea and South Korea as the dictatorship appears to step up its weapons programme.

Here;  http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/north-korea-claims-attacks-kill-7686174?platform=hootsuite

The other news out of North Korea is that they are reportedly going to test a nuclear warhead....you know, a nuke that can be strapped onto the ICBM that they just fired off to prove they could reach the U.S West Coast?

I'm reading a book right now called THE NEXT MIDDLE EAST WAR and the book goes into great detail about their interpretation of how Ezekiel's War of Gog and Magog is going to play out.  They are convinced (as am I) that America will be taken out in some way and be unable to come to Israel's aid.

The author believes that Magog (Russia) will attack America with nukes and deal us a mortal wound. He also mentions North Korea as a potential for our demise.

I hope and pray that its the RAPTURE that ultimately deals America its final hand.

Either way, America needs to be gone in order for Antichrist to rise up....and so we shall see.

Guidelines for Teaching Islam in Spain's Public Schools

Probably not a good idea...being that Islam has been a blight of ignorance, poverty, corruption and made a general mess of all things where ever it arises.

The Spanish government has published new guidelines for teaching Islam in public preschools and primary and secondary schools.

The guidelines are being touted as a way to prevent Muslim children and young people from being drawn into terrorism by exposing them to a "moderate" interpretation of Islam.

On closer inspection, however, the guidelines — drafted by the Islamic Commission of Spain and approved by the Ministry of Education — are aimed at stirring religious fervor and promoting Islamic identity among young Muslims in Spain.

The guidelines, which envision the teaching of every aspect of Islamic doctrine, culture and history, are interspersed with "politically correct" terminology... but the overall objective is clear: to inculcate young people with an Islamic worldview.

According to the guidelines, preschoolers (ages 3- 6) are to learn the Islamic profession of faith, the Shahada, which asserts that "there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger." The Shahada is the gateway into Islam: one becomes a Muslim by repeating the Shahada three times in front of a witness. They are also encouraged to "emulate, through different forms of expression, the values observed by Mohammed."

In primary school (ages 6-12), the guidelines call for children to "recognize Mohammed as the final prophet sent by Allah and accept him as the most important."

Here;  http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7747/spain-schools-islam

Can one imagine the outcry if Public Schools taught, "Jesus is God, the Creator of the Universe.  He is 1/3 of the Trinity and salvation is ONLY available through a accepting Jesus as Messiah.  One day ALL KNEES will bow to the Lordship of Jesus Christ."

The liberals of Europe would have a hissy fit!  The liberals in America would have a hissy fit!

Islam has bubbled in all over Europe.  We are seeing it's ugly head begin to rise in Paris and Brussels as the percentage of Muslims increases. Violence will increase.  Rape will increase.  Women's rights will decrease and the delusion believed by liberals all over the world that "Islam is a religion of peace"....will continue to spread until the whole trap snaps.

Franklin Graham Warns: End of USA May be Near

God is no respecter of nations.  He sets up and tears down kingdoms and nations as He sees fit.

"But Dennis, this is America!  Certainly God loves us enough to never cause us harm or discomfort!  America will always be here!  We will always be a world power!  We will always be wealthy!  We will always buy anything we want!"

Well....for any who believe that, I would suggest you read your Bibles and history books to see what world powers have come and gone since men tried to build a Tower in Babel.

Today we find legendary preacher, Franklin Graham, warning us that America may already have our own writing on the wall....unless we humble ourselves and turn back to God.

Evangelical preacher the Rev. Franklin Graham has warned that much like the decline of the Babylonian empire close to 2,500 years ago, America may also be staring down at its end, unless it turns back to God.

"What's the writing on the wall for America? As a nation we are found lacking because of sin and disobedience to God's Holy Word. We have not honored Him. If we don't turn back to God, I fear that our end will be near," Graham wrote on Facebook Sunday.

He noted that 2,500 year ago, present day Iraq was known as the Babylonian empire, and boasted one of the largest armies in the world at the time.

"Its king, Belshazzar, was having a big party drinking and boasting with his wives, his mistresses, and his nobles," Graham described, referring to the account in the book of Daniel in the Bible.

He added: "While they were partying, the hand of God appeared and wrote a message on the wall, terrifying everyone including King Belshazzar. His face grew pale and his knees went weak. Daniel is called in to interpret the handwriting which says three things: 'Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting. Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.'"

After Daniel warns Belshazzar that he is guilty of worshiping false gods, the king is slain that very night, and the kingdom is lost.

"Our country is going in the wrong direction. And I think some of the politicians that are running have tapped into the anger and the frustration in this country. And I want Christians to know that their vote does count and we've taken God out of government, schools and everything else and we need to get God back into it," Graham said back in February, urging people to vote in the presidential elections.

The evangelical, who leads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, has further warned that news headlines suggest the world is unraveling, and Jesus Christ is coming to "wipe the slate clean."

"While the United States is focused on its own politics, the world is unraveling. The danger signals are everywhere. Beheadings, rapes, murders, bombings are taking place every day across North Africa through the Middle East, all the way to the borders of India," Graham said.

Speaking about Jesus, he added: "One day He is going to wipe the slate clean and 'create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind,' (Isaiah 65:17). For those who have trusted His Son Jesus Christ by faith, there is an eternal future with Him to look forward to."

Preach it Franklin!

Yes!  The world is unraveling!

Yes!  Jesus is coming to wipe the slate clean!

So how many people in YOUR CHURCH and MY CHURCH would be surprised if Jesus showed up today to snatch His bride from planet earth?

How many people in YOUR CHURCH and MY CHURCH are actually excited and eager for King Jesus to return for us?

How many of us have fallen so in love with THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD that we really don't think much about our real lives in eternity?

Remember if someone ever says to you, "Don't be so heavenly minded that you become no earthly good!".....without missing a beat reply to them, "The Bible actually says to not become so earthly minded that you become no heavenly good."

You Me Her

Yesterday we blogged on polygamy and polyamory.  Remember the difference between the two is that polygamy wants to legally marry more than one person whereas polyamory just lets us know the people desire more than one person for sex and relationship.

As if on cue, today we find out there is a TV show coming out called YOU ME HER.

It's about a bored married couple who decide to bring a bi-sexual woman into their marriage...so they can all fornicate together!

Check out the link and trailer to the TV show here;
http://wouldyoumeher.com/

Also notice at the bottom of the webpage it says this;
So you’ve got plenty of love to give? Well then, our polyamorous app is for you! Connect with Facebook and see who you “connect” with on Facebook. Share the love!

And of course their is a live link for you to touch on to immediately connect to an app to see if you can find a bi-sexual cute girl to join your boring marriage!

Let's watch and see if this show gets so popular that ABC picks it up and starts playing it during the Sunday Evening line up of "family friendly" programming.

We have been saying for years that poly was going to come on the heals of gay.  If The Lord tarries a few more years, the next thing to go mainstream will be men and women falling in love with and having sex with their favorite animal.

Here's the description for a soon coming TV show about women and bestiality.

"Jane just couldn't find a man.  They were all insensitive, selfish, boring and never treated her the way SHE wanted to be treated....that is until she met BoBo the orangutan.  Bobo loves her just as she is!  He doesn't judge her and best of all he never yells at her or makes demands!  BoBo is 99.9% man, according to his DNA, but he's ALL MAN when it comes to the love that he and Jane share!  If you haven't accepted human-animal love...then you just haven't evolved."

Polyamory Continues to Go Mainstream in America

In the 1970's, when I was growing up, Redbook Magazine had stories on knitting, cooking and kids. It was a magazine that seemed to be in every doctor's or dentist's waiting room and seemed to espouse 'traditional values'.

Today we find an article in Redbook about polyamory written by a polyamorous woman who is married but happily falling in love and having sex with other men.  She says this behavior makes her happy because she is evolving as a woman.

Of course the headline of the article would make casual readers believe this extra-marital affair is actually making her marriage BETTER!...but in the 1st paragraph, she says they will probably divorce.

Ummm.....how is that making your marriage better?....when you will probably divorce?

What a ball of confusion our society has become....up is down, down is up, right is wrong, wrong is right and "better marriage" actually means "soon divorcing."

How ​Polyamory Made My Marriage Better

A few years ago, my husband, Rob, and I converted our traditional marriage to a polyamorous one. It's been remarkably smooth. We're very happy with our choice. And yet eventually we'll probably divorce. Does this mean that polyamory failed us? Not at all.

Like many of our generation, Rob and I are children of divorce, and so when we got married a dozen years ago, we designed a quasi-Buddhist ceremony that made room for the concept of anicca, or impermanence. We wrote our own vows and left out the "until death do we part" and "forsaking all others" stuff: Instead, we spoke about the inevitability of change and pledged to support one another as we continued to evolve.

We meant it, but we had no idea what that might look like. We didn't anticipate that our evolution could involve the desire for sex and relationships with other people.

But that's what happened. In our previous relationships and with one another, we'd both been serial monogamists, but after we finished having babies, we looked around and realized that although many things about our marriage were stellar—close friendship, mutual support and admiration, compatible co-parenting—we weren't ideal for one another sexually. We never really had been. Our libidos don't match; I'm more "sex motivated" of the two of us. Our relationship had thrived despite a lack of romantic chemistry.  


This is not an unusual revelation, of course, and in most marriages, it results in screaming matches, or swallowed resentment, or affairs conducted amidst lies and betrayals. But Rob and I didn't see our "problem" that way—we didn't even really see it as a problem. We saw it as a reality, and an opportunity for positive change. We became poly.

Poly people tend to view divorce in a less binary way than mainstream culture does. Dr. Elisabeth Sheff, a sociologist who studies polyamory, has written about how, in contrast to a dominant worldview in which a "successful" relationship is one which is "the two people involved remain together at all costs," polyamorists have a broader and more flexible take on the demise of relationships. "Poly people," she writes, "ultimately define their relationships as both voluntary and utilitarian, in that they are designed to meet participants' needs." We understand that the relationship might have to change when needs change. One of the people Sheff interviewed called this "moving apart without blame." Maybe Gwyneth Paltrow, with her "conscious uncoupling," was onto something after all.

In this regard, monogamous couples could stand to learn a thing or two from those of us forging an alternative path. For Rob and me, our guess is that having spent the last few years living poly will actually make dissolving the husband-and-wife phase of our relationship a lot gentler than if we hadn't taken that left turn at Sexytown.

For the last few years, most days at my house look like this: my partner Mike, who lives with us, helps me with dinner while Rob tends to the kids. We all eat together, and then Mike and I put the kids to bed while Rob texts a woman he's met on OKCupid. Once the kids are down, the three of us sit on the couch for a movie and a cup of tea. Sometimes Rob stays home with the kids while Mike and I go out dancing. Sometimes Mike and I stay home while Rob travels for work or goes on a date. Sometimes Rob and I go out to a play while Mike stays home. Sometimes Mike and I take the kids camping and Rob spends the weekend combing bookstores. Sometimes Mike and Rob watch football together while I volunteer. Sometimes we all take a family vacation together.

Our arrangement wouldn't work for everyone. It helps that, when Rob and I first became poly, our kids were very young, young enough so that this has pretty much always been their normal. It also helps that Mike didn't have kids of his own, but is great with ours: my kids say they have two dads. And it helps that both these men are tidy Cancers who share a love for progressive politics and sports blogs; they are also guys who have always enjoyed living with male friends. And they're wonderful, generous, thoughtful people who like each other, who love me, and who value the extra help and freedom that comes with having a third adult around: there's a symbiosis they have together. We might argue about stuff like what to feed the kids for lunch or who threw out the last of the conditioner, but I honestly can't remember a fight that stemmed purely from the fact of our poly arrangement.  

Practicing polyamory has helped us refrain from seeing this as a failure: failure to be everything to one another, failure to be people we're not. Like many of the folks Dr. Sheff has reported on in her studies, we're able to see a shift in the parameters of our relationship as an inevitable change rather than a reason for guilt or anger or blame. We love each other and we want each other to be happy, and part of being happy means getting our needs met. We want to support—not stand in the way of—one another getting our needs met, even if those needs involve reconfiguring our partnership. We know we can still be close and loving, no matter our relationship status.

Friends, I don't even know where to start on this article.

Their marriage starts with a 'quasi-Buddhist' wedding, after marriage and kids she gets horny so goes and finds a lover named Mike, and the father of her children, husband Rob, allows Mike to move into their home and start having intercourse with his wife in their bed!!  She claims the kids are thrilled because they have two dads!!

I wonder what will happen when Rob or Mike decide to bring home another woman they are in love/lust with?  Then the party will really get going!!  And then we will see how "tolerant" and "Happy" this makes our horny housewife!

Can you imagine how confused the children will be when the discussion turns to marriage?

Friends, who invented marriage?

God.

Who wants to destroy marriage and family?

Satan.

Marriage and family is the foundation of any civilized, God-fearing, society.  Satan already has America on the edge of anarchy and lawlessness and he knows with just a little more push he will make our kids even more depressed, suicidal and dysfunctional than they already are.

"Hey Master Demon....how is it going on our plan to crumble away at the foundations of America until it implodes?"

"Great King Satan!  We now have Americans totally worshiping their sports and so busy following sports they have no clue what the Word of God even says!  We have them so far in debt, chasing things they can't afford that we have all-but guaranteed they will always be anxious about everything!  We finally got gay marriage pushed through so now if you say anything FOR the way God designed it, you will be silenced and accused of being HOMOPHOBIC!  We have confused the sexes so now the states are passing laws making it legal for men to get naked in the the girl's locker rooms!  Now the final straw is if we can get men and women to quit marrying all together and claim its human nature to love and desire sex with multiple people....so monogamy will be totally thrown out the window!! Soon, America will say they have NO KING AND ANSWER TO NO ONE!  Then all the people will just make up all their own rules and do whatever they want!!

"Wonderful!  It can't be long now!  I personally have deluded the American Government to believe they can borrow as much money as they want and now have them up to $20 trillion in debt...with no end in sight!!  Once America falls away....we will finally be free to take out that miserable little nation called Israel!!  Carry on demons!  Great job!!  Mission 'Scorched Earth' is in full swing!!"

Are Our Children Just Borrowing our Faith?

We have all seen the troubling statistics about our children leaving home and wanting NOTHING to do with our faith, church, the Bible or seemingly anything that we worked so hard to impart to them....so what's up?

Clearly, there is never just one answer to the dilemma....but here is an article about how many kids simply BORROW our faith to appease us while in our homes....but as soon as they leave home it becomes very apparent that they have just been borrowing their parent's faith.

In my family, faith looked like spiritual "parallel play." Parallel play is the stage young toddlers go through where they enjoy being near other kids, but don't actually interact with each other yet. They'll play blocks side by side, but they won't find ways to play blocks together.

My family members would individually read their Bibles, go to church every week, participate in prayer chains, and humbly remind each other that plans would only happen "Lord willing."  Those were the spiritual blocks they played with next to me.

Meanwhile, I went to church, was at least mildly interested in what I heard, felt confident that if I died I would be saved, prayed occasionally on my own, went to church camps, attended youth nights, and freely told anyone who asked that I was a Christian. Those were the spiritual blocks I played with next to them.

But we never spiritually played together. Without that deeper engagement, my faith simply remained shallow and was based on living out a copy of what those around me were doing.

I left home with a completely borrowed faith.

I had never made it my own, but not because I rejected it in any way.

Many parents are brokenhearted when their kids reject Christianity in the teen years. I would suggest that many other parents are lulled into a false sense of security when their kids appear to toe the line of faith until they leave home. That faith often amounts to little more than borrowed beliefs which will soon be shattered.

Make no mistake: a borrowed faith leaving home can be just as dangerous as a broken faith. The result is often the same, just delayed.

When I originally started this post, I planned to call it, "10 Signs Your Kids are Just Borrowing Your Faith." As I thought through the signs I can see in retrospect from my own experience, however, I found they all really pointed back to just one sign. So here it is:

The number one sign your kids are just borrowing your faith is that they rarely, if ever, ask questions.

They may be just uninterested enough to not ask questions, but not so uninterested as to reject Christianity altogether. They'll just borrow your faith for a while because that's what's in front of them on the buffet.

They may not yet see the importance of Christian belief in their lives. It's perceived as just another subject they're learning about, like math. They'll just borrow your faith for a while because they don't think it's important enough to think more deeply about.

They may not have been exposed to enough non-Christian ideas yet. Their faith isn't being challenged in preparation for the adult world. Challenge them. If you don't, non-believers soon will. 

They'll just borrow your faith for a while because they see no need not to.

They may be scared or uncertain of your reaction. They'll just borrow your faith for a while because that's what they think is expected of them.

They may be getting answers elsewhere - usually not the answers you'd like them to have. They'll just borrow your faith for a while because they don't want to rock the boat at home.

If your kids aren't asking questions, start asking THEM questions. Open the door for the conversation yourself and get them thinking in ways that will ultimately allow them to own their faith.

Did you catch that??  The #1 clue that your kids at home are simply borrowing your faith is that THEY NEVER ASK QUESTIONS.  They don't want to rock the boat....they just want to get through this "class" of Christianity just like they get through a math or English class at school.  Once the class is done they throw away the book and don't think about math anymore!

In the same way, once they "pass" the Jesus class of Sunday School, Awana, confirmation, High School Youth Group....they graduate from YOUR HOUSE, head of to college and throw away the book.

How many of our kids have simply borrowed our faith?

EU Can Go Straight to Hell

The Europeans are currently having a tough time with their Muslim citizens.  They falsely believe that had they treated their Muslims better by giving them better food, clothes, housing and all sorts of other "free stuff"....that those Muslims would all be bakers, lawyers and baseball coaches!

Poor, delusional Europe.....

Furthermore, European leaders seem to believe that if the Israelis would treat their Muslims better by giving them a bunch of "free land" and their own country....then there would cease to be any Middle East problem at all!

Without the Israeli-Palestinian conflict there would be no Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, the European Union’s envoy to Israel said Monday, arguing that the best way to fight BDS is to take steps to advance a two-state solution.

“The most effective antidote against the BDS movement is to solve the Palestinian issue. If there were no Palestinian issue, there would be no BDS movement,” Ambassador Lars Faaborg-Andersen said at a conference in Jerusalem.

The EU does not expect Israel to be able to solve the conflict unilaterally, the ambassador stressed. “It takes two to tango. It takes the Palestinians also.” But it is important for Israel not to be seen as undermining a two-state solution, he said. “If more effort is put into showing a will to move forward and to obtain progress in this process, it would greatly weaken the BDS movement.”

More effort?

The Jewish people have not put sufficient effort into opposing ongoing violence against ourselves by not being sufficiently compliant toward our aggressors?

Is that the idea?

We have to put an end to this nonsense.

Who is Lars Faaborg-Andersen to tell the Jewish people how best to live in this world?

As far as I am concerned the EU can go straight to hell.

They are not our allies. They are not our friends. They are not our partners.

They are sometimes our customers, but what they really are is a hypocritical pain in the ass that promotes terrorism against Jews while self-righteously complaining about it at home. Ultimately, the EU funds and supports Jihadi violence toward the Jewish people of the Middle East, through organizations like B’Tselem that defames Israel, and then blames that violence on those Jews, even as they decry it against themselves.

To be fair, however, while it is true that the EU blames Arab-Muslim violence against the Jewish minority in the Middle East on the Jewish people, they do have the consistency to blame Arab-Muslim violence against their own people on their own people. As Europe drowns, their leaders tell their citizenry that the violence against them is a normal response for having failed to be gracious enough to their Arab-Muslim guests.

Jihadi violence in Europe, we are to understand, is because the Europeans have failed to suckle Arab-Muslim immigrants close enough to their breasts and if only they would be more open and gracious then the Jihadi immigrants would become harmless accountants and fishermen and shoemakers.

Of course, this shouldn't surprise any of us who read our Bibles.  The world will turn on Israel and the Israel will one day stand all by herself...with only God to protect her.
