Self-Marriage Movement Growing

How bizarre can the left actually get?  Normalize gay marriage.  Normalize people claiming to be the opposite sex.  Normalize people claiming to be another species.  Normalize polygamy and bi-sexuality.

And how about normalizing people who want to marry themselves?

It's called SOLOGAMY!

Oh yea....and if you don't embrace and celebrate sologamy....then YOU ARE A SOLOPHIBIC HATER!!

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A “self-marriage” movement is growing across the country.

They’re part of a growing relationship trend called sologamy.

Erika Anderson, a 37-year-old from Brooklyn, New York, planned a formal ceremony with a white dress, flower bouqet, and walk down the aisle. Only, no one was waiting for her and that was just the way she wanted it.

Anderson says she grew tired of people asking why she was still single, so in front of friends and family, she married herself.

Self-marriage, or sologamy, is growing, partly because it’s popping up in pop culture, like when an episode of “Sex and the City” floated the idea.

The movement has gone global and companies are trying to capitalize. Marry Yourself in Canada offers consulting and wedding photography.

San Francisco’s Jeffrey Levin started a website called IMarriedMe.com. There, you’ll find sologamy ceremony kits that include a wedding band, daily affirmation cards and vows.

“I think it’s increased over the years and it’s something that’s becoming more understood and more accepted,” Levin said.

Anderson married herself to celebrate independence and believes others should, too.

“You’re worth it,” Anderson said.

Anderson just celebrated her one-year anniversary with a solo trip to Mexico.

She said even though she’s married to herself, she’s dating and open to marrying another person.

How pointless and stupid can you get??  So the woman marries herself, then takes an anniversary trip by herself to Mexico but....
She said even though she’s married to herself, she’s dating and open to marrying another person.

Maybe the reason that she isn't married to a real, live man is because she is so bizarre that real men are repulsed by her?

"Hi, my name is Tom.  What's your name?"
"Brenda".
"Nice to meet you Brenda.  Are you married?"
"Yes of course.  Don't you see my ring?  But I am open to dating and marrying another person."
"Wait, you mean you and your husband are polygamists?"
"No silly, I am married to myself.  I'm a sologamist."
"OK....adios amiga!" (and Tom proceeds to walk away)
(Brenda now yells after him)
"Nice to meet you too!...you solophobic, close-minded, small-minded, hateful bigot!!"






Climate Expert Praises Trump for Pulling Out of Paris "Sham"

Trump seems to continue keeping his election promises when it's up to him.  Yesterday he pulled out of the Paris Accord which had been signed by 195 nations to combat climate change.  As you can imagine, the world and 100% of the "Mother Earth" crowd are almost suicidal with grief.

But there are some really smart people out there who actually think Trump did a great thing yesterday.

President Trump officially withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord, and one of the leading climate experts disputing the purported consensus on climate science is praising Trump for making the right decision for the American economy and for sound science.

“I’m glad that Trump had the fortitude to stick it out despite all the attempts to waylay him,” said Dr. Tim Ball, a retired climatologist at the University of Winnipeg and author of “The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science.”

“He didn’t have to rely on the false science,” Ball told WND and Radio America. “He relied strictly on the economics of it, that it’s a very, very bad deal for the United States. In fact, it’s deliberately designed to punish the United States.”

Ball said the Paris climate accord was simply the latest incarnation of the old Kyoto Protocol from the 1990s that sought to redistribute wealth from the industrial nations. He contends the Green Climate Fund, which is part of the Paris agreement, is the latest effort in that regard.

Ball points out the nonbinding nature of the agreement – which is the only way the deal could be struck – means most nations have not contributed what they’ve pledged to the Green Climate Fund.

Nonetheless, Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the non-binding deal resulted in howls of protest from critics, with environmental activist Tom Steyer claiming the action was treasonous and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria insisting the move means the U.S. is surrendering its role as leader of the free world.

Ball said none of the criticism is based in actual science.

“They use the environment, and they use the climate, as a vehicle for a political agenda,” he said. “All they can do when you say, ‘I’m not going along with the political agenda,’ is invoke that the sky is falling.”

Ball said many of the political opponents of Trump are simply led to their position by perpetrators of bad science. He said Pope Francis is the perfect example.

“One of the most egregious ones was the pope. The pope got co-opted by (Hans Joachim) Schellnhuber at the Potsdam Institute in Germany. He was the key author for the pope’s encyclical against global warming,” Ball explained.

He said the notion that humans can dictate radical changes to the earth’s climate are the height of arrogance.

“The reality is that the levels of energy involved and the amount of energy that humans put in are so minuscule that it is actually laughable to think that we can control the climate in any way,” Ball said.

Trump did say he was open to renegotiating the Paris agreement or forging new deals with other nations that would be more beneficial to the United States. Ball said those talks should be done only after Trump gets a better handle on genuine climate science.

Here;  http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/climate-expert-praises-trump-for-pulling-out-of-sham-paris-accord/

Do you remember when humans all got together to build the Tower of Babel?  That also was the "height of arrogance" on display.

Today we have a large section of people who think we can drive electric cars and change the climate.

Let's remember friends, we have NEVER been to the bottom of the ocean to know how the sea vents spit out hot water to change the ocean temps.  We have very limited knowledge about how sun spots or solar storms change the temperature.  We have no control over volcanic eruptions that can spit so much ash into the air they could block the sunlight for months.

We are on a huge ball hurtling through space at 60,000 mph heading around the sun and we don't have a steering wheel!  To imagine that a bunch of nations are going to come together in Paris and decide that THEY are going to change the climate is laughable.

The globalists are going to be so angry at Trump and America that they most likely will start to seethe.

For those of us who aren't globalists and who believe that GOD IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING including the icebergs, sunspots, ocean vents, earth quakes and volcanoes....the announcement yesterday that Trump thwarted the world's wishes once again just gave me one more reason to smile.

DNA Scientists Claim American Indians Are From Middle East

How DID people get scattered all over the earth?  If Noah's Ark landed on the Ararat Mountains in Turkey and only 8 people got off the boat, HOW did they end up getting over to America or Australia?

Today we find an article sent to us by a reader that claims DNA scientists are saying that American indians have Middle Eastern blood....or MAYBE even Jewish blood!

In his famous book, “The History of the America Indians” eighteenth century explorer and trader, John Adair stated that several hundred Cherokees, living in the North Carolina Mountains, spoke an ancient Jewish language that was nearly unintelligible to Jews from England and Holland. From this observation, Adair extrapolated a belief that all Native Americans were the descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.

Adair genuinely admired Native Americans and was married to a Chickasaw woman. However, his popular theory was twisted during the American Revolution to something else. In the new version, the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel had built the thousands of mounds that dotted the landscape of eastern North America, but the Indians had killed all the “civilized Jews.” Frontier preachers gave sermons which demanded that their parishioners go out and slaughter the evil savages, who had killed the “civilized Jews.”

By the late 20th century, things had gone to the other extreme in North Carolina. In 1976 the North Carolina state government directed a team of professors to prove that the Cherokees had been in their state for at least 1000 years. It was called the North Carolina History Project. The archaeologists and historians justified their bonus paychecks by dutifully re-labeling all Native American archeological sites in the western third of the state as “Cherokee” or “Proto-Cherokee.” The widespread Creek Indian place names were re-labeled “ancient Cherokee words whose meanings have been lost.”

The laboratory immediately stumbled into a scientific hornet’s nest. That Cherokee princess in someone’s genealogy was most likely a Jewish or North African princess. Its scientists have labeled the Cherokees not as Native Americans, but as a Middle Eastern-North African population.Cherokees have high levels of test markers associated with the Berbers, native Egyptians, Turks, Lebanese, Hebrews and Mesopotamians. Genetically, they are more Jewish than the typical American Jew of European ancestry. So-called “full-blooded” Cherokees have high levels of European DNA and a trace of Asiatic (Native American) DNA. Their skin color and facial features are primarily Semitic in origin, not Native American.

At present, the researchers at DNA Consultants seem unaware that throughout the 1600s Iberian Sephardic Jews and Moorish Conversos colonized the North Carolina and Georgia Mountains, where they mined and worked gold and silver. All European maps show western North Carolina occupied by Apalache, Creek, Shawnee and Yuchi Indians until 1718. Most of these indigenous tribal groups were forced out in the early 1700s. Anglo-American settlers moving into northeastern Tennessee and extreme southwestern Virginia mentioned seeing Jewish speaking villages in that region until around 1800.

How the occupants of the North Carolina Mountains became a mixed Semitic, North African, European and Native American population, known as the Cherokees, remains a mystery.

Here;  http://nativesnewsonline.com/2017/04/16/dna-scientists-claim-that-cherokees-are-from-the-middle-east/

So how is it possible that American Indians were speaking "Jewish"?

If the 10 tribes of Israel were torn apart and destroyed by the Assyrians in 700 BC....how would they have made it to America?

Here is another point to ponder.....

200 years after the flood of Noah, people all spoke a single language and started to rebel against God. And what do we read TWICE right from the Bible?

Genesis 11
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.  8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

So what if the reason that some of the American Indian's DNA is similar to people from Turkey is because God scattered them from Turkey into North America following the Tower of Babel incident?

Billionaire Convinced There Are Aliens on Earth

It would seem that a SUPER LARGE DECEPTION continues to build on planet earth...preparing for the day when the people left behind, after the rapture of the church, will believe "the lie".

We are getting more convinced everyday that "the lie" is going to have something to do with "aliens" who have been coming to visit earth from other planets.

Of course, they aren't "evolved beings" at all....but really demons in disguise.

"Holy crap Dennis!  Did you fall in the manure pile again?"

Nope....just reporting the latest headlines from some pretty big sources.

Billionaire Bigelow space mogul says he is 'absolutely convinced' there are aliens on Earth

A billionaire aerospace entrepreneur who has recently worked with Nasa has said he is 'absolutely convinced' that there are alien visitors living on Earth.

Robert Bigelow, whose company Bigelow Aerospace has built expandable space habitats for the ISS, was speaking in an interview with 60 minutes on Sunday.

The conversation focused on working with Nasa before it shifted to Mr Bigelow's reported obsession with aliens, as the mogul revealed he has invested 'millions' into UFO research.

Asked whether he believed in aliens, Mr Bigelow responded: 'I'm absolutely convinced. That's all there is to it.'

'There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence [on Earth].

'I spent millions and millions and millions - I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject [aliens].'

Mr Bigelow did not specify exactly how much he has spent on this research, and declined to comment on any personal UFO encounters.

Correspondent Lara Logan, who was leading the interview, then asked Mr Bigelow whether he felt it was risky for him to say in public that he believes in aliens.

She asked him whether he worried that people might think he was 'crazy'.

Mr Bigelow responded: 'I don't give a damn. I don't care.'

Here;  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4554970/Robert-Bigelow-absolutely-convinced-aliens-Earth.html

"But Dennis, aren't you worried that people will think you are crazy by saying you believe demons are deluding the world by posing as aliens?"

I actually don't care either.



Palestinians Immediately Break Promise to Trump

All you have to do is turn on Palestinian TV and you can watch shows for little kids teaching them how to hate Jews and quoting verses from the Quran that talk of killing Jews...and you can know that it's going to be a LONG TIME before the Arabs of Palestine will admit that Jews own and control Israel and that they are NEVER leaving.

Peace partners with the Jews?

Hardly.

It's an embarrassment to Arab Muslims that their god, Allah, has not vanquished the Jews and chased them all into the sea.  Of course they have tried, and will no doubt try again some day.

But now President Trump is going to get a taste of the frustration of trying to use a "partner for peace" when the Arab partner wants no peace.

Hard on the heels of Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas's assurances to US President Donald Trump that he is raising Palestinians on a "culture of peace," he continues to glorify terrorists who have Jewish blood on their hands.

Abbas, who met with Trump in Bethlehem on May 23, told reporters that he was committed to working with the new US administration to achieve a "historic peace deal with Israel." Abbas also announced his readiness to become a "partner in the war on terrorism in our region and the world." He claimed that he and his Palestinian Authority have been promoting "tolerance and coexistence, and spreading a culture of peace and renouncing violence."

Abbas's sweet talk, however, did not last long. Just hours after Trump left the region, Abbas and his PA returned to their anti-Israel incitement. This stands in blinding contrast to what Abbas told Trump and his Middle East envoy, Jason Greenblatt, with whom Abbas met 48 hours after his get-together with Trump in Bethlehem.

At a meeting of Fatah leaders in Ramallah on May 25, Abbas described Palestinian prisoners held by Israel as "heroes."

His remarks came in response to the hunger strike of more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, many of whom are serving lengthy terms for murdering or wounding hundreds of Israelis. The hunger strike, which began on April 17, is led by Marwan Barghouti, a senior official with Abbas's Fatah faction who is serving five life terms in prison for his role in a spate of terror attacks that killed five Israelis during the Second Intifada (2000-2005).

Referring to the convicted terrorists as "our heroes," Abbas lashed out at the Israeli government for its refusal to surrender to the demands of the hunger strikers.

"We will stand with them and support them," Abbas said, referring to the convicted terrorists. "We will emerge triumphant and we won't allow [Israel] to defeat or humiliate the prisoners."

Abbas's powerful message flies in the face of his promise to Trump and his representative, Jason Greenblatt, to cease all forms of incitement against Israel.

By describing the convicted terrorists as "heroes," Abbas is in fact sending a message to all Palestinians that murdering Jews is a noble and heroic act.

Such rhetoric prompts Palestinians to launch terror attacks against Israelis. It is a clear call by Abbas for Palestinians to follow in the footsteps of terrorists and murderers.

Is this Abbas's way of promoting a "culture of peace" among his people? Is this his version of encouraging Palestinians to renounce violence?

Less than 24 hours after the Abbas-Trump meeting in Bethlehem, in which he promised Trump and envoy Jason Greenblatt to cease all forms of incitement against Israel, the PA government in Ramallah resumed its vicious rhetorical attacks on Israel.

The attacks came in response to celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation and unification of Jerusalem. They also came in response to routine and peaceful visits by Jews to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

In a statement issued by the Palestinian Authority on May 24 that is reminiscent of a medieval blood libel against Jews, Israel was accused of perpetrating "black crimes" against Jerusalem and Palestinians and of defiling Islamic holy sites in the city.

Here;  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10433/abbas-trump-promises

I wonder what Trump will do if he ever figures out the fact that Mahmoud Abbas was an organizer of the Arab-Muslim attacks on Israeli Athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich?  Would he still shake his hand and invite him to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House?

I hope Trump tells him, "If we see any more of your KILL THE JEWS!  TV programs beamed into all those Muslim homes in Gaza and West Bank...we will immediately cut ANY funding!  You won't get one thin dime from USA so long as you teach your kids to kill Jews.  Also, if we find out that you have named ANY more schools, streets, parks or government centers after TERRORISTS who have successfully killed Jews....you funding will immediately go to ZERO!  Understood?"

Maybe Donald should call Abbas at about 2 in the morning some night and when he answers, say, "You're fired!"

Jews Returning to Israel is a Living Prophecy

I can't remember which preacher I heard say it, but I believe it when he said, "If you want proof of God, look no further than Israel."

Israel was a land flowing with milk and honey.  God brought the Jews there and then warned them they would be spit out of the land if they ever rejected Him.  They did reject him and they were totally spit out of the land and Jerusalem was given to gentile control in 70 AD.  God said that the land would turn to crap if the Jews weren't there to inhabit the land....and it did.  It turned into a big desert with no trees and no resources.

But God said he would bring the Jews back...not because they deserved it but to fulfill HIS promise to their forefathers and for His glory.

And that amazing miracle began to happen about 100 years ago.  And 70 years ago Israel became a nation and the land started to bloom again.

Never on planet earth has this story, or anything even remotely similar, happened.

Within only a few generations, Jews scattered around the world have reassembled into a nation in their ancient biblical homeland of Israel. One Israeli in the new film "I Am Israel" marvels that there were only around 60,000 Jews in what is now Israel at the turn of the last century, compared to more than 6 million today.

As Breaking Israel News notes, the global population of Jews outside Israel has decreased from 1945 to today, while the number of Jews within Israel has dramatically increased. Today, 43 percent of the global Jewish population now resides in Israel. If current trends continue, the majority of the world's Jewish population will soon reside in Israel.

"Another Bible prophecy is about to be fulfilled in Israel," said Joseph Farah, founder of WND and the author of "The Restitution of All Things: Israel, Christians and the End of the Age." "We're reaching the tipping point at which the majority of the world's Jews are actually living in Israel. That strikes me as a big deal when you consider how many times the Bible predicts this miraculous ingathering – something that has never happened with any other nation in the history of the world."

Farah points to Scriptures such as Isaiah 11:11 and Jeremiah 16:14-16 that suggest the biggest miracles in Israel's history, such as this vast ingathering of the Jews from all parts of the earth, are still to come. Farah, who along with his wife Elizabeth will be leading the 2017 WND Israel Tour in November 2017, has argued the rebirth of Israel and the prophesied ingathering of the Jews is God's greatest miracle.

Many Jews themselves are quick to realize the prophetic significance of the times in which they are living. Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the nascent Sanhedrin, a group attempting to resurrect the ancient Jewish legal body, told Breaking Israel News his group believes Jews are in the prophesied "third inheritance" of the land. Some argue that according to Jewish tradition, this "inheritance" of the land will be permanent, the Jews will not be driven out again and the Third Temple will soon be constructed.

Mark Biltz, the man who discovered the "Blood Moons" phenomenon and the author of the new book "God's Day Timer," is excited about the biblical importance of current events.

"The ingathering of Jews back to Israel has great prophetic significance," he told WND. "It's all about sanctifying the Name of God. God's name is sanctified by the regathering of Jews back to the Land. God made a promise to give them the land of Israel so if they are not there, to the nations He becomes either a liar or an impotent God who never was able to fulfill His promise.

"After the unimaginable tragedy of the Holocaust, the collective sentiment that arose out of Israel was, ‘Never again!' What this phrase means, is this: ‘Never again will we as a people be weak so as to allow ourselves to become the prey of the nations. We will pick ourselves up from this and become strong.' The only cry that will bring true national restoration is, ‘Come let us return to the Lord. For He has wounded us, but He will heal us. For He has torn us, but He will restore us.' This is pattern that He uses for all people to bring them to Himself. It is through brokenness and repentance, not through self-determination."

Israel IS God's timepiece.  The bloom is on the fig tree!...so we shouldn't be surprised as to what season we are in.

The Left's Misguided Love Affair With Islam

Over the years, we have wondered WHY The Left has been so angry and intolerant of Christians while at the same time being so supportive, tolerant and even apologetic of Islam?

It makes no rational, logical sense.  And for this reason, we have wondered if it is all part of the End Times delusion that the Bible says will be coming.

The Left's Misguided Love Affair With Islam

Why do so many liberals praise a religion that, at its root, is quite conservative, if not fundamentalist?

Why do they defend a faith that would not defend them? Worse still, why do they defend a faith that, in some cases, would do violence to them?

Last week, Robert Spencer, Director of Jihad Watch and a New York Times bestselling author on radical Islam, was invited to speak at the University of Buffalo.

But he was unable to say much because of the vocal opposition. He was shouted down and reviled, especially when attempting to read Islamic texts describing Islamic beliefs.

To paraphrase, "Not on our campus! We are progressive. We are liberal. We are enlightened. You will not bring your hate-filled bigotry here!"

In Spencer's own words, "I spoke a few sentences and made a couple of points in between being screamed at by Leftist and Islamic supremacist fascists who think they're opposing fascism."

Did you catch that? Spencer was opposed by staunch liberals and staunch Muslims. What an odd couple they make, yet this has happened time and again in the recent past. Why?

A few years ago, I read about a pro-Hamas, anti-Israel rally led by feminists and LGBT activists, among others on the left. Why in the world would groups like this support Hamas, which would kill or imprison them for their beliefs (and their sexual or romantic proclivities)?

Spencer noted the biting irony of it all: "For example, one man held a sign that read 'Queers Against Islamophobia.' The crowd booed lustily when I attempted to read from Islamic authorities about Islam's death penalty for homosexuality.

Even to read from Islamic sources is hate, apparently, at the University at Buffalo -- unless, of course, one endorses such penalties rather than oppose them."

Yes, these days, if you expose something murderous or hateful, you are guilty of a worse sin - the sin of judging. And on campuses these days, there is hardly a worse sin you could commit.

I once spotted a comment responding to a YouTube video posted by a 12-year old boy who opposed same-sex marriage based on the Bible. The comment read: "You, just like everyone who is against gay marriage, is a mentally retarded bigot. No exceptions. Now go to hell."

This is the voice of tolerance, the same voice that drowned out Spencer in Buffalo. And how interesting that "tolerance" reviles a 12-year-old boy who does not support same-sex "marriage" but then defends Islam that calls for a death-penalty for homosexual practice.

How interesting that "tolerance" wants to silence Christians who peacefully oppose homosexual activism as well as silence those who draw attention to Islam's violent opposition to homosexuality. What a laughable contradiction.

But this is no laughing matter. As Spencer noted, "By shutting down any discussion of the motivating ideology of the jihad threat and consigning it all to the realm of 'hatred' and 'bigotry,' the student mob at the University of Buffalo enables that threat to grow.

One day, the Leftists who screamed, heckled, and booed as I tried to speak may very well experience the consequences of their actions, carried out by those with whom they thought they stood in solidarity."

Yes, let that mob try pulling off the same stunt in strict Islamic countries like Iran or Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan or in places like the Hamas-governed Gaza Strip, and let's see how far they get.

In fact, let's see how far they get carrying a sign saying, "Queers Against Islamophobia."

The Left needs to end its naïve love affair with Islam.

We don't really know for sure HOW the one-world-religion is going to play out in the very last days following the rapture of the church.  But we do know that for those who heard the Gospel and rejected it BEFORE the rapture....there will be a delusion that God allows them to believe and they will end up believing the lie brought about by Satan and the Antichrist.

2 Thessalonians 2
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

So is it possible that this delusional behavior by the godless-left is actually a foreshadowing of the great delusion that will be coming for the godless AFTER all followers of Christ are removed to meet the Lord in the air?

And finally, I want to draw your attention to another passage in 2 Thessalonians, verse 3.

Here is the passage from the NIV;
3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

I recently read an article that dug into the Greek word that the NIV translates as REBELLION.

In some translations the word is translated as FALLING AWAY, as in the Modern English translation;
3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way. For that Day will not come unless a falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

Is it more than possible that the FALLING AWAY is actually referring to the RAPTURE....when the followers of Christ are taken out of this world....when they FALL AWAY from the world to meet Christ in the air?

If this is the case, this one verse would put a nail in the coffin for mid-trib and post-trib rapture theories.

What do you think?  Is Paul repeating the same idea twice that the Antichrist WON'T be revealed until AFTER the rapture?  The 2nd time would be just a few verses later when he tells us that the antichrist won't be revealed until AFTER the restrainer (Holy Spirit living in all born-again Christians) is removed.

7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back (restrains it) will continue to do so till he (Holy Spirit) is taken out of the way
