UNDERSTANDING MATTHEW 19:24 AND HOW IT APPLIES TO AMERICA

     I often think back 17 years ago, when as a frightened, concerned a teary eyed father, I stood with my wife and watched our 17 year old, youngest son, board a flight with 3 companions for a missionary trip to Africa. Here is my baby going half way around the world to preach and sing to a people hungry for God, but also living in a dangerous region, in a constant flux for what war lord has the biggest guns and cahonies at the moment and what rules are considered a death sentence, or is just breathing and being in the way is enough to kill. It was exciting to my son, his cousin and the two ministers as they headed off, but mom and dad had the icy fingers of worry and fear going up their spine. What were we thinking allowing our youngest son to fly so far away, and then face danger so large that he might get caught up in it himself? How could we do such a thing?
     It was upon his return that we understood that we understood the "Why". We heard the horror story of how the street vendors, just trying to to make enough to feed their families one more day, were driven out of the streets, some even shot dead. That my son was even there to witness the event, made me almost feint! Then he turns around and tells us about the beauty of the balloon ride over Victoria Falls. Two complete differing views of the same country. How could a country that can boast of such a beautiful natural wonder,  starve and murder its own people? Satan rules heavily in that region of the world. Why? Because there are people, young people, who are so hungry for God!
     While the two ministers, my son and nephew went to Africa with, had to take a trip to another city, it left my son and his cousin with time on their hands. My nephew is one heck of a guitar player and between he and my son, they carry a pretty good tune. So instead of sitting in the hotel room afraid to go out, they instead went out to the street corner and started singing gospel songs. My son said, "Dad, it shocked us when before long the street was full of young men and women singing with them, holding up their Bibles. I preached the Word of God and you could see the hunger and hear the Amen-ing. It shook me to see so many young people hungry for God! We would have been laughed at and ridiculed in our home town if we had done the same thing. It was humbling, yet exciting." That was the why. He needed to experience this to turn him into the minister he became. God's way of teaching him, and us, that indeed He is working in our world. How a desperate people, always in fear of hunger and death, found complete solace and peace in their love and relationship with God. Who would have seen that coming? Why? Because the they fit through the eye of the needle!
     In Matthew 19:23 thru 25, Christ is speaking and tells us: 
And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." 25When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"… So who is that rich man? Is it the millionaires, the billionaires? Possibly. But as I wondered on it today, I started to see it differently. Yes, I'm sure it would be near, if not impossible, for the wealthy to give up everything and follow Christ. But who is wealthy. Is it just a dollar amount that can be counted or is it something else?
     We, as Americans, are surrounded by wealth. Not just bank accounts, but by the wealth of opportunities to do pretty much whatever we wish with impunity from what we feel is our God given right. Really? How many of would be willing to let go of the ability to watch television, movies, books, magazines, and everything we do and enjoy daily, even though what we put in front of us and our family is in contradiction to the Word of God and what Christ brought to us? "Well, yes I watch this show, but it has a good story!" Yet the people who are portraying this so-called good story live lives contrary to the word of God. Homosexuals, Lesbians, whoremongers, adulterers etc. We not only invite this into our lives, but into our homes as well. Money that we waste on lottery tickets, couldn't they go to better use in the offering plate at church? Instead of feeding a world consumed with gambling, use those dollars for the Work of God? How many of you go out to eat and buy expensive mixed alcohol drinks? What did that expensive drink do for you or your salvation? Could you have bought tea, a soft drink, or even drank water and used those extra dollars you would have spent and put them towards the Work of God?
     How about that or those expensive vehicles that cost an arm and leg to have repaired? How about that expensive Bass Boat? How about that $25,000 Harley? What about buying expensive named brand clothes when you could easily look just as good if you purchased pretty much the same look at a Walmart or other discount store? Yes, you work hard for the money you get! It is yours to decide how it is used! What I'm asking is, "If you can afford those expensive items, what would it hurt you or me, to buy a less expensive item and put those extra dollars towards the Work of God?" See, we put sin on a pedestal by purchasing the technology or subscriptions, allowing it to be before our eyes, purchase a ticket to watch it at a theater, accepting the sins that the actors are a part of. We listen to the music of those who live terrible lives, yet we put down the dollars to buy their next albums. So in essence, we give the right hand of fellowship to the very sinners that the Bible, not me, has already judged. Satan is intelligent. He knows how to twist things to make it seem harmless, but in reality, is eating a hole in our souls and is not only damning us, but our children and grandchildren and many generations after.
     The Jews called for the blood of Christ to be on them and their children. Mathew 27:24 thru  26 states: 24When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves." 25And all the people said, "His blood shall be on us and on our children!" 26Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified. The Jews are the chosen people, but how did that statement work out for them? They placed the killing of Christ upon them and their future generations. They have paid a heavy price. We as parents, children, grandparents and so on, allow the dilution of the Word of God and Christ's work and words, sin is easier to accept. Not only is it easier to accept, we become blinded to sin. "Well, I don't live my life that way!" Good for you. But yet you accept that it is okay for you to allow it to be in front of you and pay money to do so.
     I want to finish this Blog by saying this: Folks, I'm a sinner. I fail everyday. But I keep my eyes on the goal. His coming Kingdom and eternal life. Am I guilty of watching the shows, the movies and reading material. Yes. What is happening to me is as I get older, I am starting to wisen up to Satan and how he works to destroy my sight of true Christianity and fool me into believing more and more lies. I asked some people today, "If I asked people, who are professing to be Christians, to honestly answer: How many of you actually opened your Bible today?" I wonder how many hands would go up? If I am on a trip to a destination that I've never been before, and leave the map, that will show me how to arrive at my destination, wrapped in its original plastic, whose fault is it when I get lost? Isn't that what the Bible is? Our road map to take us to the destination we've never been before? So how do we keep from getting lost? Did you ever pull over and ask someone for directions and end up more lost than you were before you asked? The map is still sitting there! We allow others to give us a diluted version of the directions to serving Christ, relying on Christian "country miles" instead of reading the road map: The Bible. It kind of makes you wonder, would we fit through the eye of the needle, or watch as the camel goes through?

A NATION THAT LACKS RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER IS A NATION OF ANARCHY AND SAVAGERY


     As most of you know, not just New York City, but we as a nation lost a part of ourselves today with the savage, cowardly execution style murders of two of New York City's finest police officers. I sat awe struck that someone would hate our police officer's so much that this was their answer to get their message out. Two police officers, performing their duties, while their families waited for them to come home after their shift, something that will never happen again. Just because a cowardly bastard couldn't look the people in the eye that he hated so much. Why did he hate them? Because they were in uniform and represented law and order. So who do the big mouth race baiters and haters blame this time? Doubt they will. More than likely they will praise the cowardly, suicidal cretin as having brought a piece of justice to their cause. A few police officers, overzealous in their attempt to take down a guy selling cigarettes and could have easily subdued him with a taser, were partly responsible for the death of the man. Obesity, and bad health, plus the refusal to surrender, were the biggest part of what occurred.

     See, a peaceful protest doesn't create the environment of hate that is flowing like a tsunami through our country , pushed upward by the tectonic plates of rising racism that, though still exists to a small form, others want us to believe racism is completely out of control and will wash a wall of hate and violence across our nation until the true racists (Barrack and Michelle Obama, Eric Holder, Jessee Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, The Black Panthers, and Whoopi Goldberg, just to name a few of the biggest loud mouths in our country). They take two incidents, push them way out of control, inciting rioters to fight the police, burn, loot, and now assassinate two innocent police officers who didn't even get to face their shooter.

     I am for the First Amendment and our right to freedom of speech, our right to peacefully assemble and our right to protest, but what we have been seeing is not peaceful protests, rather angry mobs looting, burning, hurting others, blocking traffic and destroying the dreams of hardworking people. That is not a protest, that is thuggery at its worst. I despise those who would use any problem to create a disaster. A problem is one we work together to solve. A disaster is something we can avert by working on a problem. That's not what the aforementioned racists want. They want to see our country thrown back 160 years and another Civil War destroy our country while they sit back and sit up on top of the heap of carcasses and bones and laugh. This is exactly what Obama and Holder were hoping for and they got it. Whoopi Goldberg is probably doing a dance and having a party because two cops were killed and Michael Brown finally got justice. I want to remind all of you haters and baiters out there, once you start getting what you think is justice, is now given way to have someone else to start thinking of how they can get justice for those two police officers. There is no justice in anarchy. There is no justice in savagery. One death leads to another. Hate leads to more hate. Savagery finds no end. So here we are America. Lady Liberty weeps as our nation sinks deeper in blood and no end in sight.

SO...YOU OPPRESS, KILL PEOPLE, AND THREATEN THE WORLD, THE U.S. IS YOUR BEST FRIEND?


Let my preface this Blog with the following statement:

I in no mean any disrespect to the citizens of Cuba, North Korea, Iran or any country that its citizens are forced to send the children (even real young children) to give their lives for a fanatical idea that only benefits those who are the fanatics. Mothers and fathers cry as they put their children in dirt holes, while those who put them their never give them a second thought. I am sure all the citizens and people of these countries want the same thing as we do; to live their lives in happiness and watch their children grow up, graduate from college and be successful in life. The fanatics and dictators would have us believe different. That's why fanatics need to spend many an hour lying on a couch while a psychiatrists delves deeply into their insanity and then perform a lobotomy on them, perform many big charges of cranial electrotherapy, and then a pretty white padded cell and of course don't forget to measure them for their many nice straight jackets. They've earned all the attention. Works for me!

     The United States of America used to stand for something. Freedom, Democracy, the chance for you to work, own a home, send your children to college, with some well deserved fishing, camping, and great vacation times in between. Then you watch your grandchildren play to start the next generation on its way. That was a true American dream. But that dream and reality came with a price. We were the military might that shook the world. We didn't know the word retreat. Compromise was what other countries did. The U.N. building grew quiet when the American Delegation walked through the doors. If our Naval Armada was parked off your shores, you knew you were about to get your butt kicked if you didn't straighten up. Russia didn't scare us. Were turned back their Naval Armada that was bound for Cuba and Fidel Castro. The power and willingness to follow through with not threats, but actions, gave the world the comfortable feeling of security or the nauseating feeling of dread because you failed to break peace with us or another country. Of course that was then, this is now. This is Obama Land. The place where the Amusement Park's rides are a rollercoaster of destruction, the Carousel of which Constitutional law will we break today, and room of mirrors and deceit.

     Obama has given the right hand of fellowship to the worst of the worst in the world. John Kerry, the idiotic Swift Boat Treasonous peace of...well you get the idea, will shake the very hands of those whose citizens cry for freedom, the citizens cry for relief from oppression, political prisons and know their end will be in some lame piece of earth that some will welcome over the life they lead. They both now welcome with open arms a need for good relations with Cuba. Okay, now let's see. Cuba is a Democracy for a free people to elect their leaders, have a Capitalistic society where individuals who have the ideas, wants, desire, and willingness to put in the work, can create a business to not only support their family, but to give others the opportunity to be gainfully employed as well. High tech systems help improve the citizens lives as well as to perform commerce that will benefit them as well as local businesses, farmers, and anyone else who strives for a life of free enterprise. That's the Cuba the people of Cuba want, but not the one we want to open a relationship! Wow.

     For the Cubans who live in Cuba, and those who live in America, they know better. They live under a militaristic Dictatorship that allows them only what the whims of the Castro family agree to. Yeah that sounds like the country John F. Kennedy kept Russia from placing Nukes on to an insane fanatic's delight. If you believe our opening relations with Cuba is going to benefit its citizens, you need to look at how well our attempt and relations with Iran worked and how that benefited its citizens. The only people it will ever benefit is the fanatics who run those countries and the fanatics we have in office who think we should befriend them. 

     I would love to see Cubans and Cuban Americans have a free relationship to travel to and from their homeland and freely enjoy the movement and commerce their friends and families have. To sit down at a 30" HD television and watch a movie, the World Series, go to a bar and have a great time, interact with them on the Internet, but that's not the Cuba of 50 years ago and not the Cuba of today. Yet somehow, Obama's pea brained ideas seem to think that, "If you continue doing something the same way for 50 years and expect different results" way of thinking will resolve Cuba's problems, than we have to realize a paradigm shift has occurred. The mouse trap has changed just because I bought some new ones and is now a benefit to the mouse. When you hear the "snap", you'll give that paradigm shift a closer look at its fallacy.

LET'S BLAME GOD!! WHY NOT. ISN'T EVERYTHING HIS FAULT?


     Hey, the world has gone all to hell! Even I know that! All the hate, shootings, murders, rapes, pedophiles, the abuse and murder of children, the terrorists, the beheadings, corrupt politicians, nukes, the Holocaust, and all and every other horrid act humanity can and does do has to be someones fault! So let's Blame God!! Why not? How could an all loving God allow all of this evil to happen and continue? He sits up there on his big Throne with Christ sitting to his right with all the Angels floating around playing harps and Cherubs doing their thing. Nope, they're uninvolved, so it's Their fault. And who buys into this rubbish? Atheists, and those who have to have someone to blame for everything I listed. They have just forgot one thing: we, being humanity, cause all of this evil while following Satan's grand scheme of sin. Let's determine why we're to blame!

     When the very same God that gets blamed for everything, created the Heavens and the Earth, how many of these evils were being perpetrated at that time? When He (being God) separated the water from the firmament creating a moisture dome around the earth, and then separated the waters from the dry land, who was poisoning the water, and how many whales and baby seals were being slaughtered at that time? How much pollution was being forced into the atmosphere by using fossil fuels and other chemicals? When God said, "Let there be light", during the night time, how many rapes, muggings, murders and other evils were being committed during the night time? When God created all the animals, fowl and fish, how many of God's creatures were being hunted to extinction because of their ivory tusks? When God said, "Let us make mankind in our image" (our being...His only Son); how many murders, acts of pedophilia, rapes, and muggings were occurring during that time? When Adam walked with God in the cool (Climate changers, it was hot back then!) of the evening, and walked in the garden (which the Bible does not state the borders of the Garden only that it was "Eastward", so how big it was we will never know), naming all the animals, I wonder how many sport hunters were out shooting animals for trophies? I wonder how many animals Adam had hanging from his walls, deer stands Adam had up in trees waiting for a trophy buck to walk by, or how many duck blinds he had by the shores of a lake or body of water?

     When God saw that with everything Adam had at his disposal, beauty around him and that he got to converse directly with his Creator, Adam was lonely so God caused Adam to go to sleep, removed a rib from his side, closed the opening and then created Eve with the rib, did Adam Sodomize her, rape her, beat her, or in any way abuse her? I could continue on and on, but I'll go ahead and answer all the questions: NO! Not at all, and in no way. How could all of these sins and evil that we see daily not been a problem or in existence when the mother and father of humanity walked in the Garden? The lack of, or the non-existence of sin. God gave the world peace and perfection. Man and woman decided they were above or equal to God, disobeying His one simple rule; not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Once the disobedience occurred, sin entered the earth, set on the destruction of all the peace and perfection that God created. So...before the eating of the fruit, peace and beauty reigned. After the sin occurred, pain, suffering, and all the evils that Satan could influence man to do began to happen. God wanted peace, a sinless world, full of beauty and His work. So why blame God?

     Don't read me wrong, I despise all the evil that humans do, especially when it comes to children. I would have no problem with God destroying all and anyone who would harm or destroy the innocence of a child for their perversion, hate or evil pleasures, however, we as human beings would like to dictate to God what sins we want Him to stop, but it just doesn't work that way. We want Him to accept the other sins we commit, but destroy the other ones that make us cringe and cry for children. So what is the answer. First off, if you want to call God down to destroy those sinners, be careful what you ask for. I have no doubt He'll be looking at all sinners. As the saying goes, "Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it!"

     As humanity, all we can do is be watchful and listen for the crying of the children. See the would be mugger or rapist in the shadows. Check on your neighbor's home for the would be burglar or murderer and turn all into the police. But, what we should all be PRAYING FOR: Revelations 22:20 - 21, "He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.".  We need to turn our hearts towards, and aiming straight towards the Cross and pray for forgiveness. Live our lives for Christ and God, following in His teachings and guidance. God will take care of all sin. Instead of blaming God, be ready for Christ's return and stand before the Lamb and hear Him say, "Well Done". Continue to blame God for everything that humanity has brought into the world will only have you facing Christ to hear Him say, "Depart from me, I never knew you!" and be cast into the Lake of Fire with Satan and his demons.

MY SECOND INSTALLMENT OF BOOK REVIEWS OF DIFFERENT AUTHORS


     I want to start this week's review with three books I've read by a controversial author as well as controversial person in his career as a Fox New host: Bill O'Reilly. Whether or not your agree with his show and opinions, the three books I am about to review are not just excellent reads, but thought provoking in the subjects they cover.

1.) Killing Lincoln: For those of us who are in awe of not just one of if the not the greatest President to hold office in our country, but a man who faced the greatest evil of his time (slavery) and saw the country he loved torn apart by the unwillingness of the South to have the North dictate its way of life and the type of commerce it promoted. Bill O'Reilly captures you in the first chapter as you walk with Lincoln up to the day of his death and shortly after. Knowing the outcome because it is a piece of our history doesn't in anyway create an air of boredom in reading this book. I wanted to reach into the pages and stand in front of President Lincoln screaming of what was to come. History shows Lincoln as many things, dependant upon your views, but one thing is for sure, you are taken back in time and walk beside the man and feel the weight he carried and the sadness of his upcoming demise by a cowardly act.

I rate books on a 5 star rating: Killing Lincoln is a bursting 5 stars.

2.) Killing Kennedy:  O'Reilly takes the known facts of the death of John F. Kennedy and walks you through the timeline of not just the upcoming assassination, but the timeline of different players involved in the killing as well as John and Jacqueline's movements leading up to the killing. For those of us who were alive when the assassination took place heard the Warren report, but have listened to the many conspiracy theories; shooter from the grassy knoll, Kennedy's killing was a mob sanctioned hit, and that Oswald couldn't have committed the shootings as the Warren Commission's report stated. Whether Oswald was a maniac set on proving to the Russians what he was capable of or just insane or whether there were other behind the scene players involved, is not the issue. Speculation is not facts. It's just the game of "what if?". This book captures another piece of our history and gives you the time line in slow motion, based upon facts. For those born after Kennedy died, you will have heard many differing stories. Take the time to read the truth as we know it.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars.

3.) Killing Jesus: Of all of his books, Bill, in my opinion, caught a tremendous amount of flack that was unjustified, especially by the religious community. Bill did not write attempt to re-write the Bible. He spoke of facts of life during that time period, how people really lived, and removed the stereotypical beliefs based upon Hollywood, differences of pulpits, and what we chose to think based upon how we see life and brought us back with a dose of reality to what life actually was back then. It in no way demeans Christ, His walk and mission, that He is the Son of God. In fact, i found it refreshing and helped to solidify my own walk and belief in my Saviour. I understood who he was, how strong a man he was physically and why the Sanhedrin priests kept bringing Christ back to the Romans for pronouncement of punishment. It is an eye opening, and faith building read.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars.

I want to finish this installment of reviews by adding another Fox News contributors work. No, I'm not a pro-Fox news book reviewer. But it just so happens that they do tend to write excellent books. My next author is Greg Gutfeld. For any of you who know Greg's work on the Five at Five on Fox as well as his show; Red Eye, you will know Greg to be a student of not just politics, but of the world and the tilted view that the "Liberal Left" has of everything and not afraid to show you the unsupported ignorance of people and events in the world and country.

4.)  The Joy of Hate: How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage: Greg just knows how to use words to bring people back down to earth, from the outrageous statements and actions of politicians, to then bring us back to earth by untwisting spin those who wish to destroy America, its one time strong morals and values, as well as just a quirky way of presenting the truth. I can't wait to read his other two books. They're on my Christmas list as well as Killing Patton by Bill O'Reilly.

Rating: It has to get a five of five, if for no other reason than to keep Greg from making me his next book!

RECOMMENDATION OF AUTHOR'S FOR GOOD READING!!!!

     I am going to start giving reviews on authors and their writings or books they produce. I will start with of course one of my favorite authors:

1.) Stephen King: One of my all time favorites. However, not all of his books I found interesting in the genre I expect from King. Cujo being one of the disappointments. If you haven't read it (Of course as with most of King's books, they made a movie of Cujo as well), I would advise you to steer well clear of it, unless you are excited about spending hours of reading about a rabid dog terrorizing a mother and child in a Ford Pinto. I find very little to complain about King's books and short stories. If I had one item I would recommend King to do is to stop being long winded as he is when writing his books. I skip through a lot of information that really is what I consider non-value added to the theme of the book. Other than that, his books are the type of read that is hard to put down.
Rating:   5 Star of 5

2.) Karina Halle. Karina Halle writes a novel series that are right up the alley for those who like terror, ghosts, demons, and an evening curled up on the sofa listening to the strange sounds while you read one of the Experiment in Terror Series, reading along as Perry Palomino and Dex Foray create the best Ghost Hunting program on the internet, deal with all the things that do go bump in the night and fight hard not to allow a relationship to grow. The books are so good, you'll carry them to work or wherever you go so you can keep reading (Nooks and Kindles are the best way to bring the books with you). Karina Halle has the knack of knowing what drives our fears and twists our lives to become entwined in Perry and Dex's adventures. I highly recommend The Experiment in Terror Series for anyone (16 and older). Enjoy!!
Rating: 5 stars of 5

3.) Jim Butcher: Jim writes the very best novel series called The Dresden Files (also at one time a television series). Dreseden is one the biggest bad assed Wizards and deals with some of the wildest, scariest humans, ghosts, demons witches...well you get the idea. I've read the entire series and love them all. The will forever be stored on my Barnes and Noble account and my Nook. I recommend Dresden Files to anyone 14 or older.
Rating: 5 stars of 5.

4.) JD Nixon: JD Nixon is an Australian author who has two series running simultaneously: The Heller Series and The Little Town Series. Both are very entertainig, with characters that you become easily drawn to and involved in the lives and personalities. I highly recommend both series for a deffinate 16 year old plus crowd. Once you start reading both series, your hooked!
Rating: 4.5 stars of 5.

Terry W. Manning is an author (Wars End, Stryker's Move, and Fallon's land) as well as a Blogger. My website is under construction and I will let you know when it is complete. I will continue to give honest reviews of other authors as we go, so climb aboard for the ride and enjoy!!

NEW BOOK IDEA THAT IS ROLLING AROUND IN MY MIND

     I have started 3 books, but as I was writing them, the plot faded or became what I consider to be lame or a loss of interest in what the characters were or what to do with them. Solomon Stryker Book #3, House A' Fire, and Daniel Cloud are the three that I've tabled for now. If I've learned anything in my first three books is: I ain't Stephen King who has the ability, talent and time to churn out book after book. Publishers drool over the opportunity to publish one of his books, not counting any of the rest he's wrote. Stephen King in my mind has had some books that I consider to be minor league while the rest were walk off home runs. I'm a fan, that is a fact.
     My next book is one I want to even surprise me when I read it. I want characters with more depth, a plot that has plenty of twists, turns, and surprises. Though I'm in no way ashamed of Wars End, Stryker's Move, or Fallon's Land, I want to grow as a writer. To do that, I've taken the criticism and praise for my first three books and have taken it to heart. Don't churn out books just to have a book. Write a book that the characters live around you, engulf you, you take a breath in rhythm with them as they breathe.I want you to feel the pain, sorrow, shock and surprise that the characters experience!
     The first time I saw the movie "Phantasm", I stayed clear of closets and funeral homes for a long time. And even now, when I see a funeral home, the movie replays in my mind. If I see a silver ball, I keep an eye on it until it's out of my vision. That is the type of impact I want on my readers. What they read can, or believe, the exact same thing can happen or be waiting for them. That is the greatest accolade I believe an author can receive. Well, we'll see. For the first time in a long while, I am excited about putting words on paper. That's a start!

FERGUSON GRAND JURY MISSED ITS CHANCE FOR JUSTICE (UPDATE)

UPDATE: I don't buy into the story that black youth being targeted by whites police. That is not what this Blog is about. To put into perspective the acts of racial violence I did a fact check: In 2010 the National Crime Victimization Survey found that racial violence did indeed exist, just not the way the media would have you believe. 62,953 blacks were the victims of white on black violence. The flip side of the racial coin: 320,082 whites were victims of black on white crimes. That's 25 times more acts of violence against whites than against blacks.  I wrote this Blog to bring attention to this one failure of Justice. I, in no way, believe Michael Brown to be the 'Gentle Giant" his family and the media portray him as. He was an 18 year old thug, who used his size for intimidation, hence the video of the theft at the convenience store and how his act of beligerence and act of lawlessness was never lost on me. The Blog is about a police officer as well as other police officers ignoring training and allowing their hotheaded emotions to skip out on their training, creating uneccessary deaths. I am not a racisit, nor are my black friends. Get a grip America. Racism is alive and well, just not the way you would believe.

Another Update: I have been informed that Officer Wilson left his Taser in his locker. So a police officer did not take all of the tools of his trade with him to work, a tool that could have resulted in the difference of Michael Brown living or dying and still a "No True Bill". Was the Grand Jury informed of this failure to follow procedure? 

   Let me preface this with the following statement: No matter what type of person 18 year old Michael Brown was, Justice was not to be blind for even him. Thugs, arsonists, anarchist, and the actions of thieves did not help  bring Justice to Michael Brown, his family, or the community. They just proved that wolves are in every crowd, ready to devour at the slightest hint of weakness and opportunity. That has been proven in the St. Louis suburb and other cities across the country since the verdict of "No True Bill" was handed down. Of course along with this, the race baiters, Jessee Jackson, Al Sharpton, a Missouri State Senator and others have come out, not to tell the black community to peacefully protest and to denounce and turn the wolves over to authorities for prosecution and bring to an end to the violence, rather they have stoked the flames of an unneeded fire of hate and racism. No one receives justice when violence and anarchy rules, especially not Michael Brown, the Brown family, the businesses, or car owners, who saw their life's work or purchases destroyed in flames..
   
     Justice was not done Monday. The Grand Jury was fed a litany of witnesses and evidence. The only item of evidence that was missing was COMMON SENSE. Per true eye witnesses and the forensic evidence, Michael Brown did in fact tussle with Officer Darren Wilson in the open doorway of the police vehicle, causing shots to be fired at close range, hitting Michael Brown in the hand, forearm and bicep. These injuries, though no doubt extremely painful, were not life threatening. The actions of Michael Brown resulted in Wilson fearing for his life, resulting in Michael Brown being shot approximately three times at close range. Here is where the common sense comes into play.

     If I am afraid for life, do I chase the running person I was in fear of? Here is where the shoe of evidence switches to the other foot. Michael Brown, not officer Wilson, was in fear for his life, already being shot three times, hurting, bleeding and being chased by a man with the gun who just shot me. Michael was at that time was in fear of Wilson and running for his life. Wilson, in pursuit, could have at any moment switched from deadly force to a non-lethal form of defense. Pepper spray or his stun gun, could have and should have been used to end the fight with Michael Brown. Michael became the feral beast backed into a corner, turned, and according to Officer Wilson and witness statements, turned and charged Wilson. By then Officer Wilson, armed with his non-lethal  forms of defense, could have easily disabled Brown, stopping further injury to both Brown and Wilson, and allowing the whole event to end without anyone dying that day.

     In a previous Blog: Why are police opting out of non-lethal for lethal encounters?   http://terrywmanning.blogspot.com/2014/09/why-are-police-opting-out-of-non-lethal.html, I explored what I saw as a trend in American law enforcement. What we see is the ramped up of the distrust of police by minority communities. The very people that need their help the most, the minority good citizens living in those dangerous poor neighborhoods, now are in more fear because the very last line of help they reallied on, will now place them in danger should they be seen calling on law enforcement for help (The Wolves are watching!).

     So, Terry, the man who is full of opinions, what do we do? First we see things as they are. A very loud cry of injustice for Michael Brown and his family. Officer Wilson was guilty of no less than Voluntary Manslaughter. His training should have either called for him to wait for backup or switch to a non-lethal form of defense. We have to have cooler heads prevail Instead of the Jacksons and Sharptons stoking the coals of hate and racism, we need a show of unity in resolving the mistrust by the standing up and mixing in with upset communities by the Dr. Ben Carsons, the Conda Leeza Rices, the Allen Wests, and the Juan Williams, African Americans who can bring together and speak positively to these communities and law enforcement about constructive change and how to address short term and long term resolutions that will turn racism into Americans trusting Americans with their safety and justified use of force to take down the bad seeds. Ferguson law enforcement, no, all law enforcement should go through extensive re-training on the use of proper force to stop a perpetrator, not just pulling out a 9mm Glock.

     No amount of training will stop the need for deadly force, especially when law enforcement is facing down the barrel of powerful weapons, or knowing they are having to deal with the real bad guys. We want our law enforcement safe as well. Will there ever be a stop to violence. No. However, with proper attitudes, training and trust, we can make a disastrous situation into one that drives us forward towards a common goal: The right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  All Americans want it and deserve their chance. 










TURKEY LAND - A POEM HANDED DOWN 7 GENERATIONS



In this day of hate, rage and violence, we all need to something to smile about and remember that no matter what the hate promoters say, we are all Americans. We are a family, and as a family we may disagree at times, but we pull together and protect what is ours. In this case it's our country and work to make it better and equal for all. Enjoy


TURKEY LAND
As Retold By Robbin Kay (Betts) Manning
A poem my grandmother Ellen Dunmyer told us when we were children. It was passed down from her grandmother.

I dreamt I went to Turkey Land a year ago tonight.
How I got there I don’t understand, but I was there alright!
They had me fastened in a coop, a fattening for a feast,
Whether I’d be roast or soup, I knew not in the least!
I thought that I would scantly stay; I’d not get fat for meat,
but they brought such goodies every day, I could not help but eat!
Such delicious cakes and high minced pies, OH(!) all the things were dandy;
and every meal I finished off with a half a pound of candy!
And Oh (!) the ice cream, it was so good, I could not help but eat;
Until, at last, I grew so fat, I could not see my feet!
And then one Turkey gobbler tall, a jolly fat ole fellow said, “Wife, I
Think this boy will make us to some Thanksgiving dinner.
“ Oh, I’ll have his wishbone”, one turk cried! An ugly little chick,
 and “I’ll have his thighs They cried;” their names were Tom and Dick.”
My heart sank way down in my shoes; I shook with mortal fear,
When the Gobbler reached into the coop and grabbed me by the ear.
He held a long and glittering knife; I tell you twas no joke.
I kicked and screamed and terror wild; then, oh joy I woke!
Mother was bending over me saying,
“Ted, I told you, you ate too much
cold turkey before you went to bed!”

ALL FOR LEGAL IMMIGRATION! JUST DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY!

THE OLD FASHIONED, BUT PROVEN METHOD OF LEGAL IMMIGRATION!!

Emma Lazurus wrote a poem in 1883 that stated what a great country we live in and how we viewed those who wanted to live in freedom and offer their families the opportunity to live a life that offered them a better life than what the oppressive governments in their country would ever allow. 

 Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

The Statue of Liberty stood tall as a beacon as a light of hope when the immigrants first laid eyes on it. Hope filled their hearts as they realized their dreams were soon to come to fruition! What a sight it must have been to our families and the joy they must have felt. It's almost impossible to imagine that feeling! However, above all else, they entered our country legally and were rewarded for their legal entry the opportunity to realize their dreams.

The way Obama sees it, what worked before is impossible to work again, that is: it goes against his great scheme of Muslim rule. Just open the flood gates and let the illegals pour in, unabated, in a direct affront to our legal system, and in disregard to The Constitution. Obama has proven repeatedly that he regards The Constitution as something Conservatives (oh I meant to say racists; isn't that what you call Conservatives Eric Holder and liberals?) like to scream about the holiness of that piece of parchment. Yet, this is just smoke and mirrors while you attempt to hide the fact that you are placing Muslims into high positions of power and authority inside our government. It takes those of us who will confront you to take hammers and break the mirrors, and fans to blow away the smoke so that others can see the truth. Do you see it now, America?

We can again bring legal immigration back to its glory. Congress and the Senate should require that Ellis Island be renovated to point immigrants again to the Great Beacon of Hope. Now this requires our borders be secured and our coast lines be patrolled. Can it happen? Easily, and it would be less expensive than having to pay all the money our country will pay out to keep up the illegal immigrants, their crimes, food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, free housing, and all the other tidbits we will GIVE THEM, while they drain our Federal, State, County and City resources. If not, we can expect a country gone broke, crime rates through the roof, drugs brought in faster and easier, and gang violence causing our streets to no longer be safe for law abiding citizens. Our paramilitary forces (police, sheriff's deputies, state police, Homeland Security, and National Guard) will be overwhelmed creating the need for our Militias to strike out as well as vigilantly justice to rule. 

Now having said all that, what happens to the office of the Presidency? Obama will attempt to declare Martial Law, which by law he will need the cooperation of The Congress, but then again Obama has a pen and a phone, right? That has been his way to break the law, while an impotent and self serving Houses of Congress stand by and make big speeches, crying foul but doing nothing. To do something means they would not require that they perform their duties and earn their pay. Heaven forbid they be required to do their jobs! I shudder at the thought that they might actually do something! 

The answer to this problem is not to do nothing, rather it is to remember what worked and realize it can work again! That is simple, but effective. HOWEVER you have to love God, America, the American people, The Constitution, and law and order. In one last simple statement: None of those things are important to you Obama, you Muslim loving, law breaking criminal and American hating (pardon my french) bastard!!

IT WAS A REQUIREMENT TO TAKE AMERICAN HISTORY CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL....

     When I was in middle school, Tennessee History was a required course for us to take. Nope, no ifs ands and buts about it. You took it and learned a wealth of knowledge about The State of Tennessee (Which was originally named "The State of Franklin" until Ben Franklin nixed it).
     When I was in high school, American History was a required course you had to take. Nope, no ifs ands or buts about it. In the process you learned a wealth of knowledge about our great nation. It is the type of knowledge you retained for a lifetime.
     I say this to lead into this true event that occurred the other day. A friends nine year old daughter came home from school with a pamphlet that was teaching her all about Muslims and how they believe and live. The last time I did a GPS reading, she lives in the same town I do, not in a Sand Sucker part of the world. Is this what we want our children to learn? Really?
     To be honest, I couldn't give a Tinker's Damn about Muslims, what they believe and how they live! Now I live in what I believed to be a very Conservative, Bible Belt part of the U.S., however, the sickness of being a progressive, lib-nut has invaded a one time Ku Klux Klan celebrated area. Of course they are still here (somewhere), but I believe the core people of this area are more than willing to start a new Revolution should the so called, nice, well behaved Muslims decide to show their right to be heard.
     Anyone with a lick sense knows that those nice little pamphlets don't teach students about Sharia Law, ISIS, 9/11/2001, beating, maiming and murdering of their women with no repercussion because they are Muslims and they live such nice, peace loving, family lives with nothing but Patriotism in their hearts.
    Those nice little pamphlets do not tell students how Christians are murdered and beheaded by Muslims. These pamphlets don't teach the children how the word "Terrorist" is now defined as any Muslim. These nice pamphlets don't tell the children that not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. Yep, bet they keep that out of the pamphlets!
     So what do we do? I am a grandfather of six. I am very vocal and outspoken against the evil of Islam and Muslims. I will back it up, if needed, with having my grandchildren watch the beheadings perpetrated by those nice Muslims. I will show them pictures, articles and have them watch news footage of how those nice Muslim men feel they have the right to shoot a young girl in the face, beat their women, stone them, and outright murder them under their "Sharia Law". What does that mean for you? As a parent, aunt or uncle, cousin, grandparent or friend, you should take these pamphlets and read them to the children...AFTER YOU TEACH THEM THE TRUTH ABOUT MUSLIMS!!
     If you love your children, you will make them aware of the scourge that is crawling all over the world (worse than cockroaches!). You will teach the the truth about Muslims and inform them it is not being racist to know, believe and take a stand against Islam and Muslims. Not racism...just truth.
     If you are a Christian family, ask yourself and family, "Is our faith in God and Christ strong enough NOT TO DENY THEM BECAUSE YOUR GOVERNMENT OR MUSLIMS THREATEN TO DO TO YOU IF YOU DENY YOUR FAITH?" There are Christians who have already been martyred and continue to be martyred because they refuse to recant their faith in God and Christ. You can't have it both ways. Revelations 3:15 & 16 state: “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."
     When your child brings home a pamphlet or book promoting Islam and Muslims, will you be the one who will stand and maintain as it states in Joshua 24:15, "And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
     It is now to the point, the once proud American public schools are breeding grounds for the progressives and lib-nuts. If you don't have a Christian school you feel comfortable with, you can home school your children and purchase the curriculum to teach your children all the academics, maintain a faith based environment, and help reinforce your family's faith. If you continue to leave them in a school system that pushes the progressives and lib-nuts agenda, you are training them to be fodder and will lose them to this evil world.

WHITE HOUSE EMERGENCY ALERT BROADCASTS TODAY FOR NO REASON? REALLY? NO REASON?

The following article is from the TEAPARTY.ORG website:

UPDATE: AT&T has blamed a “nationally syndicated radio station” for sending the alert message, despite the fact that only the federal government can send out EAS alerts. The alert system, “can only be activated by the President in times of emergency,” reports Fox 5.
Americans watching television across the country were puzzled earlier today when an alert from the White House interrupted their viewing, told them to stand by for an emergency message and warned them not to use their phones.
TV channels automatically changed to local news stations but no White House message ever came, prompting confusion and concern, especially given heightened tensions amidst the Ebola crisis.
The message was seen by viewers in Austin, Atlanta, Detroit and across North Carolina, as well as other areas of the country.
WSOC-TV out of Charlotte, North Carolina later posted a statement on their website saying they would investigate why the message went out, indicating TV and radio stations were given no advance notice of the test.
An AT&T spokesperson later indicated that that the alert notification was sent out erroneously.
“Earlier today, U-verse TV customers may have received an Emergency Alert notification. We confirmed that there is no emergency at this time and we are investigating why this occurred. We apologize for any inconvenience,” read the statement.
However, the Emergency Alert System is mandatory by law – stations have no control or power to block the signal once it is sent out by the federal government. Broadcasters are required to install and maintain FCC-certified EAS decoders and encoders at their control points, meaning the signal cannot be switched off or interrupted.
How sensible is it that the feds ‘mistakenly’ sent out an emergency alert – potentially causing panic – amidst national concerns about the Ebola outbreak in the United States?
Back in 2011, a similar test of the emergency alert system, in this case for cellphones, went awry when residents were told that a “civil emergency” was in progress and that they should “take shelter,” prompting 911 lines to be flooded by panicked callers. Authorities later apologized, claiming the test was a mistake.

ILLEGAL VOTING ACTIVITIES ARE ALREADY OCCURING AND IT'S NOT YET 11/04/2014!

I've been warning you all about this, and here's the evidence of the liberals and Democrats again trying to steal elections by performing criminal acts. YOU MUST BE VIGILANT, WATCH, FILM, QUESTION, AND IN NO WAY ALLOW VOTER INTIMIDATION OR THE SAME VOTERS ATTEMPTING TO VOTE MULTIPLE TIMES OR IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS! THE COURTS ARE NO HELP (LIBERAL JUDGES OF COURSE). TAKE IT TO THE STREETS AND MONITOR THE POLLING STATIONS! INVESTIGATE AND INVOLVE AUTHORITIES (NON-LIBERAL OR DEMOCRATS THAT IS) OF ANY IRREGULARITIES OR RUMORS OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES!!

DEATH OF A NATION BEGINS WITH THE SILENCING OF IT'S CITIZENS AND THE DEATH OF RELIGOUS FREEDOMS

     Unless you are just coming out of a multi-year coma, a liberal college student (or in most cases, a college student...period), from the extreme liberal militant political side, a Yellow Dog Democrat, a lesbian or homosexual, a Muslim, or the suck up administration Obama surrounds himself with: You will be aware that our nation is dying a quick and decisive death. There is no one that can possibly be so ignorant that they will state that the American Citizen, not oil supplies or all of the other non-American Citizen improvement items they use with which to blind us from the actual facts, can possibly agree that the American Citizen is better under the Obama Administration. Tell me Americans aren't that blind or...excuse me...stupid to believe that garbage.
     Yes, more people are on food stamps, welfare, Medicaid as well as other subsidies. Employment, especially among blacks is inconceivable and a slap in the face to the black worker. Poverty is poverty no matter what color you are. The middle class, unknown to those who are not watching, is disappearing. The middle class is the pillar of our Republic. If the middle class does disappear, then you are left with those in political and government power and the worker. Sounds communistic, doesn't it?
     Now the silencing of it's citizens. We have the extreme left, Yellow Dog Democrats (including the Obama Administration) and liberal aliens (still waiting for the Mother Ship for the insane liberals to beam them up), using the "racist" tactic to shout us down. Now, the Democrats definately have the depraved lesbian and homosexuals firmly in their corner, using their secretive and militant tactics to shut down businesses, have owners face jail time and large fines unless they bow to their perverted lifestyle. (More on this later). Political correctness is being used to throw out our 1st Amendment Rights by using their PC rhetoric to say that we can't say, write or even wear clothing that proffesses our beliefs and even our faith. When I grew up, God ruled and all the folks, though few, didn't need to explain why they did not go to church or didn't have to defend their atheistic views, nor did anyone who wore shirts with Christian emplazoned pictures or statements deemed a threat or an insult to other religions. I have been raised in a Pentecostal church, but was friends with everybody outside my religous and faith. I wasn't a threat to them, nor were they a threat to me. We were okay, and that was that. No matter what our faith is, unless it is Islam, we have no rights to voice our beleifs, nor is it tolerated for us to voice opposition to what we believe. The 1st Amendment is bending to the point, it won't take much before it snaps.
     Religous freedoms. What's that? Oh, it is freedom as long as you are a Muslim with your Islamic, Sharia Law and Qu'ran beliefs. Not to be outdone, you have religous freedoms as long as it is inline with the disgusting, depraved lesbian/homosexual beliefs. Deny a L & H (tired and becoming nauseated of continually writing lesbians and homosexual) anything and suddenly your beliefs and faith are of no consequence. You MUST bow to their demands or suddenly you are facing possible jail time, large fines and the end of the business you have worked so hard to build. This is the forming of a police state. A private business retains the right to deny service to anyone, no explanation needed. It is up to you who you do or do not do business with. What if a business refuses to do business with companies in China just because they don't believe in the Chineese's oppression of its people? What if a business refuses to do business with Muslims in American until they have proven they are not a terrorist threat to our country? What if a business refuses to do business with an illegal alien because they cannot prove they are citizens or green card carrying aliens? At what point did businessess lose their rights?
     Oh...I know when! When this president and the liberal federal court judges decided that the only ones with rights are those who follow the satanic agenda they promote! Christians and their pastors are now people with less rights than illegal aliens, Muslim terrorists, and of course the known terrorists that were just recently released from Gitmo. Pastors sermons can now be subpoened to verify that didn't preach against the status quo and the sickening L & H community. Seperation of Church and State (Which once again is not in the Constitution, rather was mentioned in a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Church of Danbury) now attacks the Church, its parishoners, and pastors from both directions leaving the Church with nothing but the persecutions that have now started and will only get worse as time passes. As a father of a pastor, you will have to kill me to get to him, and be assured, you will also pay for the attempt. Christ told Peter to put away his sword when peter cut off the man's ear, but He hasn't told me that! Where are you people of true faith? Why the silence? Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?".
     Even the Catholic Church is allowing this Pope to turn against the teachings of God and Christ, allowing a more gentle approach to L & H. Well why not? They are the biggest source of pedophiles in all Christianity. Now this Pope wants a one world religion. This is to placate the Muslim world, and boy will that backfire. They will join hands for s short while, and then the Muslims will turn on the Catholic Church because they won't convert. Tsk, tsk. Catholics, stand for God and Christ and the principles that God and Christ preached.
     We all have the right to our faith and beliefs, but no one group (those dreaded L & H and Muslims) don't see it that way. Believe their way or pay. Two factions are being allowed to destroy our religous freedoms, against what our Constitution allows, and threatening to create a revolution against the very framework of our Republic and Constitution. But who cares. We are the PC country. Everybody do what feels good to you, even if it destroys and tramples your fellow citizens rights. No big deal, right?
     When I was in the 8th grade (more years ago than I'm willing to admit), my Tennessee History teacher taught us something that is as true today as it was back then, and has stuck with me since: WHERE MY NOSE BEGINS, YOUR RIGHTS END!

WHO WILL STAND FOR GOD, OR FALL FOR THE EVIL OF THIS WORLD?

     In the modern age of the world, a new milestone has been reached, a new interpretation of the Constitution has been rendered, the statement "Seperation of Church and State (which is not to be found anywhere in the Constitution!) has now been used as a no-win situation against Christians. Christians are now, and I quote, "damned if they do and damned if they don't" by a non-chrisitans, atheists, homosexual, lesbian, secular, Muslim loving anti-Constitutional country. After the 13th Amendment was passed, America started moving forward (not without growing pains) to become a beacon of hope, and a country that was a light to the world, proving Christianity, God and Christ were the hope of a dark world. Yes, those were the good old days. That was then and this is now.  
     Being a true Bible reading, Scrpiture reading and understanding Christian labels you as a racist, a bigot, a fanatic, maniacal threat to society. We are a pariah, a thing to be trampled, beheaded, ostracized, picketed if we own a business and hold true to our Faith to the point of being fined and driven out of business by militant sexual deviants. It is starting to become the war the world of Satan and demonic influence against Christians.
    As a private business owner, you have the right to conduct business with whom you choose, no explanations needed if you choose not to conduct business with anyone. There are people I would never do business with, but it has nothing to do with anything other than they're jerks, deadbeats, or I don't have time. All that would come out of my mouth is: no. If they ask why, "I'm sorry mam or sir, I just can't help you, but I can recommend another company who may be able to assist you." If I chose not to do business with someone based upon my faith, I have that right. It's not being a bigot, it's being true to my faith. It's not that I am trying to be rude to the person, I don't hate them as a person, it's just my faith conflicts with they way they choose to live their lives. If I go to a homosexual or lesbian business and they choose not to do business with me because I am a heterosexual, conservative, Constitutionalist, Christian, hey, no sweat off my back. I sure am not going to form a protest in front of their business in a militant manner to destroy their business or cause them any type of harm, physically or financially. The chose not to do business with me, I go somewhere else. Simple as that. Or it should be. Because they choose to live a vile, repugnant, anti-natural, and a lifestyle contrary to the laws of God; that is between them and an all knowing, all mighty God.  
     Matthew 7:1-3 states, "Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
That is as plain and simple as it gets. Homosexuals and lesbians state that God is Love and he will accept everyone, even them. Okay, let's turn that around. If we as heterosexual, conservative, Constitutional Christians are not supposed to judge THEM, then why do they judge us? Evil and guilt will turn a person into a brutal biggoted, hating, and even killing demonic possessed, judgemental hoards. Goodbye yellow brick road. We can't live together, so let's be the schoolyard bullies, that is until the bullied stand up and knock down the bully. How will you do that, you may ask? Let's start here:
1.) I will not bow to you or your lifestyle, but nor will I throw my disagreement with your lifestyle in your face.
2.) I will not stand in judgement of you, for I believe the Bible and the word of God, so as Matthew 7 states, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." See how that works? And...whoa. Stop right there. Slam the brakes! A glaring beacon has formed in front of me! I won't judge you...no, but that didn't stop God from already judging you! See, I'm not going to stand by and allow you to fool people into believing your "God loves Everyone" statement which gives you a free pass. I have no doubt God loves humanity. But God has given us His laws as His love and guidance to for all of us to attain a place in The New Kingdom with His Son. I Corinthians 6:9 tells us, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves . . . shall inherit the kingdom of God.” Effiminate, properly translated from the Greek and Aramaic, translates to 'homosexual'. There are a number of Scriptures that refer to the sin of homosexuality.
     I want you to understand, I am not trying to come across as mean spirited. I do not hate people who are homosexuals or lesbians. I do not agree with their lifestyle choice and I base my faith base objections Scripturally. The first portion of Thomas Paine's famous quote, "These are the times that try men's souls" stands true more so today. As evil rises more prominently as we reach the end of humanity's time and sin on earth, more evil will rise up. We now contend with a world at fear with the Muslim hoard and terrorism. People who should understand that being a Muslim means no homosexuality allowed, a definate death sentence. Sharia Law means Burkas and men who can justifyingly beat and kill their women on a proveable or even a rumored or contrived violation of their beleifs. Most of Hollywood and liberals just don't get it. Muslim rule will destroy all who bow to it. Will the homosexual and lesbian so called Christians die for their faith, or will they take the right hand of the Beast and place its mark in their forehead? Or are they a part of the beast?
     One last subject I would like to broach before I stop, if "The Church" which millions take to refer to describe the Catholic Church, was a true follower of God and Christ and their words, would stand tall and true against sin, of course that would include Homosexuality and lesbianinsm as well a pedophilia. They would stand tall against Islam, Muslims and Sharia Law. This new Pope has a completely new idea of the direction the Catholic Church should go. ONE WORLD RELIGION. He believes the "God loves everyone" scenario and includes homosexuality and lesbianism in that web. Maybe it's just me (which I already know it's not), but I have always been taught that in the end time, the Catholic Church would usher in the Beast, the Anti-Christ, and Great Whore. This Pope is surely doing his part to guide the world to that point. 
     All I can say to all of you is: Quit reading "Religion" and start praying, reading your Bible, not theirs, and asking God to open your eyes to what is truely happening in today's world and what you need to do to save your soul. When you go before a judge, they will tell you, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse!" What will you hear from the Judge who will determine your path for eternity? Will you face Him with an excuse on your lips, or will you face Him with a smile, knowing He knows your name and it is found in the Lambs Book of Life? I choose the latter, but that's just me. What about you?
