Ohio State Students Can't Say "Terrorism" When Describing Recent Attack

What happens when an Islamic terrorist runs his car into a group of students and then hacks at them with a butcher knife?  Of course we all know it was an act of terrorism that was motivated by the belief in extremist Islamic ideology.

But when you ask the Ohio students....you get a different answer.

Wow....how sad that just a few days after a vicious attack on their campus they can't say the words RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST

Latest Report: Obama Won't Force Peace Plan on Israel

Just a few posts ago we wrote of a headline claiming President Carter was urging Obama to recognize Palestine as a nation before he leaves office.  Now this afternoon we see this headline;

Report: Obama won't force a peace plan before he leaves

US President Barack Obama will almost certainly not pressure Israel to advance a peace process with the Palestinians during his final weeks in office, a new report claims.

AP reported that it had obtained information from “US officials” that Obama had no intention of shaking Israel up with a new peace plan before he steps down.

According to the officials, Obama had been considering over the past year to make a final grand statement - whether in the form of a speech or through support for a UN resolution - urging a renewed peace plan between Israel and the Palestinians.

Apparently, however, the unexpected election of Donald Trump caused Obama to change his mind.

According to the report, Trump, who has hinted at closer ties with Israel and enjoys a large pro-Israel constituency, would be likely to reject any anti-Israel stance that Obama puts on the table, forcing a public confrontation against Obama’s prospective policy - and tarnishing Obama’s image as “neutral arbiter.”

Of course WE have no clue what Team Obama might do....so please continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and also keep praying for Obama and Trump that a smooth, God-honoring transition will take place, and to please continue to have mercy on America.

Islam Founded By Demonic Possession?

Our Bible study is reading a book, SEEKING ALLAH, FINDING JESUS.  It is common knowledge that Muhammad was contacted in a cave by an angel.  However, we had not heard the details of this encounter until we read this in the book.

“Instead of recounting that the angel simply asked Muhammad to recite, Muhammad reports that “the angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore.” Each time the angel asked Muhammad to recite, the angel “pressed” Muhammad so hard that he could not bear the pressure. After his encounters with the angel, Muhammad returned to his wife terrified, his “heart beating severely.” After this, the angel did not come back for a while and “the divine inspiration paused.”
This was not the picture of Muhammad I had come to know. It was raw, far less flattering. Here was an unfiltered, or at least a less-filtered, version of Muhammad. What’s more, there was a cross-reference to another hadith in Sahih Bukhari that elaborated even further: 9.111. I retrieved volume nine from Abba’s bookcase, found hadith 111, and read through it.
In an instant, the hadith shattered my illusion of familiarity with Muhammad. It said that when he saw Gabriel, his “neck muscles twitched in terror,” and when Gabriel had gone for a while, the Prophet became so depressed “that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains[…]”

“In an instant, the hadith shattered my illusion of familiarity with Muhammad. It said that when he saw Gabriel, his “neck muscles twitched in terror,” and when Gabriel had gone for a while, the Prophet became so depressed “that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, ‘O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah’s Apostle in truth,”

So upon further examination it appears that Muhammad had a demonic spirit that was pressing him so hard that he was terrified....and once the torment stopped, Muhammad was so depressed he became suicidal.

Sounds like a classic run-in with a Satanic force.....

Pres. Carter Tells Obama to Recognize Palestinian State Before He Leaves Office

When the nations divide God's Holy Land....things don't end up too well for them.

Satan is certainly upset right now.  Donald Trump seems to have possibly thrown a monkey wrench into the globalization plans that team Obama has been pushing swiftly down the tracks....so Satan might want to use Team Obama for one more damaging thing before he totally loses power in January....throw Israel under the bus.  And he has rolled out the antisemitic Jimmy Carter



CNN)Former President Jimmy Carter is calling on the Obama administration to recognize Palestinian statehood before leaving office January 20.

Carter, who is strong proponent for Palestinian rights and a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians, praised the Obama administration in a New York Times op-ed out Monday for its support for a "negotiated end to the conflict based on two states," but warned this work could be undone with an incoming Republican administration.
"I am convinced that the United States can still shape the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before a change in presidents, but time is very short, " Carter wrote. "The simple but vital step this administration must take before its term expires on Jan. 20 is to grant American diplomatic recognition to the state of Palestine."
The former President also called for the UN Security Council to pass a resolution "laying out the parameters for resolving the conflict."

Joel 2

I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.

Zechariah 12

A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel.

The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: 2 “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.

India Plans Cashless Society

It's coming folks!

For 2000 years people would read the Bible and get to the part in Revelation that says in the Last Days everyone who wants to buy or sell anything will need some type of mark (bar code?) and they couldn't imagine how that could EVER be possible!  So instead of believing what the Bible simply said....they would try to spiritualize the verse and say it must mean something else.

Now in the last few decades we have come up with the technology to make this reality...and today we are seeing in talked about in our headlines!

India's Prime Minister Plans for Cashless Society

Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, has an economic firestorm on his hands following his decision to ban the 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. In his monthly address on Sunday, Modi took his ambitions further with a call for a cashless society. 

According to a translation by Reuters, Modi said, “I want to tell my small merchant brothers and sisters, this is the chance for you to enter the digital world.”

The ban has removed 80 percent of the country’s currency from circulation and brought commerce to a virtual standstill. But rather than backing up, it appears that Modi is doubling down. “We can gradually move from a less-cash society to a cashless society,” he told listeners. 

The initial decision to ban the two notes is part of an effort to cripple a robust black market economy. Modi said that counterfeiting was rampant and claimed that the ban would aid in the fight against tax-avoidance, bribery and the funding of terrorism.

He admitted that “a 100 percent cashless society is not possible,” right now, but emphasized that he wants to set the wheels in motion.

Liberal Cognitive Dissonance

Muslims Turn to Christ in Unprecedented Numbers

I recently had a friend say that he thought "God must be on a coffee break in Syria."  Of course he sees all the destruction and death and believes that his God is either incapable or unwilling to stop the violence.

You see it turns out lots of people (even Christians) have very differing world views....and clearly they can't all be correct.  His worldview was that God created this wonderful world filled with wonderful people and now everything has gotten out of control and God doesn't know what to do!!  "How do I stop the carnage in Syria!  Oh me!...Oh my!", says God while wringing his old, wrinkled hands.

In reality, the Bible tells us that the "whole world is under the control of the evil one."  It is a dark, miserable place filled with sinners of all shapes and sizes.  None of the people are good and all of them fall far short of the glory of God.  This rape, murder, lying, cheating, perversion and stealing goes on so incessantly that it's amazing that we are all still here!  But God, in spite of our wickedness, still manages to show that He loves us...even while we are sinners!  So much so that HE sent His only begotten son on an epic rescue mission!  All that is required of us is to confess with our tongue that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead....and WE WILL BE RESCUED!!

Now check out how God works through the darkest of situations...and how Muslims are coming to Christ BECAUSE of the terrible wars in the Middle East.

The Muslims are killing each other in horrendous ways and in staggering numbers.  Why?  Because that's what ultimately happens to a nation when they worship the false god of Allah and his false prophet Muhammad....BUT GOD STILL PROVIDED A WAY!!

The Islamic State has been filling the headlines for a long time and filling the hearts of many people in the Middle East with fear. But in the midst of all this, the church in the Middle East is showing the love of Christ to those who fled their homes. Muslims in the Middle East are turning to Jesus in unprecedented numbers.

Before the war, it was rare that a Muslim would become a follower of Jesus Christ. The war has changed everything. According to one of the Christian workers of a church in Lebanon, many new converts say they had their doubts about Islam before they converted. “Doubt is many times the key to start a change,” says the church worker.

We meet with Amir*, Rasha* and their two children, who fled from Homs. Proof of the extraordinary change lies in her arms sleeping — a five-month-old baby girl with the very Christian name Christina.

“Since 2012, we have been living in a tent,” Amir shares. “It is not an easy life. About a year ago my wife’s mother was killed by a sniper when she went out to have some fresh air. My wife’s brother was killed on his way home.”

The life of this family was and is still hard, but recently they found light in their life. “About three months ago, I was given a vision of Jesus Christ,” Rasha shares. “I was sleeping and all of a sudden I saw Jesus Christ in white. He said ‘I am Christ. You will have a beautiful daughter.’ I was eight months pregnant, and a month later we received our beautiful daughter.” At about the same time the husband had a dream, too. “I saw Jesus Christ. He was dressed in white. He said to me ‘I am your Savior. You will follow me.’”

“We’re Afraid Now”

Both Amir and Rasha made a bold decision after these dreams. “We decided to follow Him. We named our baby Christina. We left our old Islamic customs.” Amir stopped going to the mosque, but Rasha still dresses as a Muslim woman with her head covered by a veil. “Our clan is very big; we’re afraid now. They might kill us,” says Rasha.

Amir continues: “Our family knows we are Christians now. Becoming a Christian is, for them, the same as if I had destroyed the Kaaba in Saudi Arabia. It is because we walked in the darkness and are now in the light. I want to protect my family.”

Because of the danger, they didn’t want to continue living in the tent in the camp where mainly Muslims live. With her soft and sad voice Rasha says: “We now have no fixed place to live, we go from place to place.”

Back home in Syria, Amir worked as a carpenter. “I have no work in Lebanon. Our financial situation is bad. Now, because we are Christians, others don’t want to help us. The church is helping as much as is possible.”

Gesturing with their hands and faces, they say they don’t know what the future will bring. “The most important thing is that we know Jesus Christ as our Savior,” the man adds. “He will save us. We regularly pray to the Lord, we freely worship Him, and He protects us. God is with us. God will resolve our situation.”

Praise the Lord!

Please remember to pray for these Muslims who have left the faith and are most likely shunned by their families and friends.  And if the Lord so moves you, maybe remember them with you pocket book as well.

Massive Fires Across Israel

Israel is burning....and it appears Islamic Terrorists are responsible for setting the fires.

Israeli authorities are investigating the origin of what they believe is a wave of arson attacks across the country as firefighters work to bring several fires under control, including a massive series of blazes in the port city of Haifa, where at least 75,000 people have been evacuated.

Israel police chief Roni Alsheich said that some of the more than 220 fires that have broken out were arson, and appeared to while others were not, and that investigations are continuing. “It’s likely that there is a nationalist motive in some of the arson cases,” he told reporters. Alsheich also confirmed that some arrests have been made. Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan told Army Radio that 50 percent of these fires were caused by repeated arson.

According to Israel Channel 2 analyst Ehud Yaari, arrests have already been made both in Israel and the Palestinian Territories related to the arson attacks.

“Every flame caused by arson or incitement to arson is terrorism, and we will treat it as such,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters in Haifa. “Anyone who tries to set fire to parts of Israel will be punished to the full extent of the law.”

The fires began three days ago with major blazes in the Jerusalem hills outside the capital, and in Zichron Yaakov where dozens of homes were damaged or destroyed. High winds have been fanning the flames, and dry, windy weather is expected to continue for several more days.

The IDF has mobilized two battalions of soldiers to assist firefighters and police in dozens of locations in the center and north of Israel. At least 36 people have been treated for injuries, the Magen David Adom rescue service stated. “We’re in a state of war,” Haifa fire service spokesman Uri Chibutro told Channel 2.

The Christian and Yoga

If any of my readers are practicing YOGA or have friends who are...please warn them with kindness, love and humility that it's not a good idea to use pagan practices in order to FEEL better about your body and mind.

“You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives.The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God.You are no longer your own.God paid a price for you.So use your body to honor God.”(1 Corinthians 6:19-20; CEV)

I want to deal with a subject a little bit off the beaten path today, my friends. (Or maybe it isn’t.)
The subject is yoga.

Yoga has become an accepted practice of physical exercise across America in recent years. You can find yoga classes offered just about anywhere. From on TV to college campuses to the local gym, sometimes it seems like just about everybody is doing it. But is the practice of yoga really okay for a believer?

In an interview article on the Christian Broadcasting Network website, Laurette Willis gives us helpful insight. She can’t help but be able to since she’s had firsthand experience in yoga and the New Age movement for more than 20 years.

Among other things, Willis comments on yoga’s postures, breathing techniques and practice of emptying your mind.

First of all, the body postures are ultimately forms of worship. And why so many of them? Well, it’s because there are 330 million Hindu gods to worship! Willis says, “Yoga postures really are; they are offerings to the [Hindu] gods. If you do these postures and you do this breathing technique and this meditation, then you will be accepted by a god, little ‘G.’”

And then there are the breathing exercises of yoga. Of course, they are meant to relax and bring a sense of peace and calm to the individual. Right? Wrong! That’s not to say that there aren’t any benefits to the breathing techniques .(If sin didn’t have some “attractive” qualities, then who would sin?) But there’s more to it than that. Willis talks about how yoga breathing is really an attempt at manipulating life force energy. She continues, since “Satan is the prince of the power of the [air, it’s] not oxygen [that’s being manipulated via the breathing].”

Finally, yoga encourages the emptying of one’s mind. Willis is quick to point out that the Bible emphasizes “‘the renewing of our minds, not the emptying.’”

Of course, there is much more to say about yoga which my space here won’t allow. But I think this little bit of evidence is reason enough to steer clear of yoga and towards another health regimen.By the way, if you would like to read the entire article that I’ve been quoting, you can view it at: http://www.cbn.com/health/fitness/bagby_yoga-alternative.aspx.

"But Dennis, yoga makes me feel good!  So what can be wrong with feeling good?"

Ummmm.....lots of things that are not honoring to God make us FEEL good....but that is never a reason to do them.

"But Dennis, I had chronic back pain and once I started chanting OOOHHMM and emptying my mind...my back felt better!"

Ummmmm.....Apostle Paul had a chronic pain in his side that he asked God to remove...but God refused his request.  Should Paul have then gone to Yoga class and started emptying his mind and praying to pagan gods using pagan practices to summon them?

Think about it.

"But Dennis, God has a lot bigger things on his plate that a few million Christians doing Yoga."

Seriously??  Now you are just rationalizing what YOU want to do by using a ridiculous argument.

"Lone Wolf" Muslim Attacks Ohio State

I'm sure you have all heard by now that there was an Islamic terrorist attack on Ohio State campus yesterday.

An Ohio State University student posted a rant shortly before he plowed a car into a campus crowd and stabbed people with a butcher knife in an ambush that ended when a police officer shot him dead, a law enforcement official said.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 18, wrote on what appears to be his Facebook page that he had reached a "boiling point," made a reference to "lone wolf attacks" and cited radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

"America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah [community]. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that," the post said.

Two hours before that, a cryptic post on the page said: "Forgive and forget. Love."

Officials cautioned that they have not determined a motive for the ambush, which sent 11 people to the hospital Monday morning. A senior law enforcement official told NBC News that investigators are trying to determine whether Artan had personal problems or something else that might have pushed him over the edge.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/suspect-dead-after-ohio-state-university-car-knife-attack-n689076?google_editors_picks=true

Yes!  The officials CAUTIONED that they haven't determined the MOTIVE YET!

HELLLOOO!!  He cited a radical ISLAMIC CLERIC before he drove his car into a crowd of students to run them all over and then started hacking with a butcher knife!!

Are these officials actually stupid?....or do they just not want to state the obvious that Ohio State was the latest victim of another RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR ATTACK?

How many attacks by RADICAL ISLAMISTS need to happen before the light bulb turns on?

Galatians 1:8
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!

Exactly!!  And what did that fallen angel actually tell Muhammad in that cave 600 years after Paul warned of this??
