This essay is not intended to denounce
the divine purpose or the holiness of intent of Jesus
of Nazareth, called the Christ.
It is to segregate facts and intentions as gleaned from the quoted
words of Jesus that has been interpreted and reinterpreted from the
days of the apostles to the founding of the Church as a religious
organization intended to replace the established synagogue of the
Hebrews called Jews who have been named in the Old
Testament as the Children of God, God's chosen
people. Jesus was a Jew whose mission was to reform, renew, and
do away with the old ways of sacrifice of the lamb in the name of
God. He never intended to replace God, which he referred to as the
Father nor do away with traditions like Passover that had been
established by ancient holy men.

Freedom of Religion - Freedom from Religion - Freedom of Public Display of Religion and Traditions
We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. We command no worship. We mandate no belief. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave it bereft of belief. All are free to believe or not believe; all are free to practice a faith or not. But those who believe must be free to speak of and act on their belief.

In the Old and New
Testaments of the Bible, homosexuality is addressed and not
accepted as practices, but instead unnatural sin. Examples of
presentation is that homosexuality does not occur in nature, nor is
it acceptable to God, despite not being part of the Ten Commandments.
OLD TESTAMENT
The first mention of homosexuality is
in the Book of Genesis 18:16-19:29
that details an encounter of the people of Sodom, specifically in
Genesis
19:4-13 …
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them." But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof." But they said, "Stand aside." Furthermore, they said, "This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them." So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door. But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway. Then the men said to Lot, "Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the Lord that the Lord has sent us to destroy it."

Daniel Project: A Look Into the Daniel Prophecy of the Rebirth of Israel
The Daniel Project was established in
Israel in 2003 with cooperation [Project
Daniel] from Jewish and Christian organizations and scholars,
commissioned to assess the threat to the nation of Israel from
surrounding states in the Middle East, particularly Iran. Initially
it was a team of Israeli foreign policy and military experts but went
beyond a political foreign policy project from Project Daniel to
Daniel Project which primarily concerns the prophecies in the Bible,
particularly the Book
of Daniel. The prophecy revolves around the return of
wandering Jews from many parts of the world, especially from Europe
where they were severely persecuted in the 20th century,
to return to their original area of homeland – Jerusalem once again
being the capital of the nation of Israel.
The project centers around a film
created explaining the importance of scriptures
and archaeological breakthroughs like the Dead
Sea Scrolls; and how the prophecies are becoming truth –
only the wise will understand. The film is available on DVD.
I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the Living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end. He delivers and rescues; he delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on Earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.
The
Daniel
Project
focuses on key cities in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Azerbaijan,
Syria, and Armenia.

A simple question to the federal
government and Barack Hussein Obama …
Why fight against Islamic fascists and
jihadists in foreign lands when they are subverting and plotting here
in the United States?
The American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) planned and successfully received a
permit to march on Washington DC today on September 11th –
tasteless (to say the least) considering it is scheduled for the
anniversary of the worst domestic massacre in American history
perpetrated in the name of Islam.

Pamela
Geller and Robert
Spencer have been banned from the United Kingdom. Shocking
news coming from a great ally that was formerly our enemy in the 18th
century. A people who fought against Nazi tyranny and invasion with
admirable fortitude and strength, is succumbing to forces of Islam
whose agenda is world domination and a world theocratic government
whose power is sustained by a religious doctrine and keeping the
people ignorant and fearful.
The crusade against the powers of the
UK doing this is HERE
in the form of a petition.
Jihad
Watch also has an article about this affair.

Chapter 33: Angels and Demons

Chapter 33
Lucifer File: Angels and Demons
Throughout
the universe, the law of physics dictates that there are negative and positive
properties – opposites. Darkness is the absence of light and light is energy. Albert Einstein stated:
Energy cannot be
created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another.
In the
monotheism of Christianity and Judaism, there is a power of evil that matches and
tries to overcome the power of good.
Angelic
Script and Copulation of Angels and Humans
An
interesting passage in the Old Testament’s first book, Genesis, mentions Nephilim
(giants) thought to have been offspring of angels or archangels and human
women. They are assumed to be those that had fallen to Earth with the Fall of
Lucifer.

Gospel Mary Magdala (Magdalene)
Some know
this text as Gospel of Mary Magdala, estimated to have been written in the
2nd century AD (CE), it disappeared until a fragmentary copy was
found written in Coptic in the late 19th century, transcribed in the
5th century, purchased in Cairo by Carl Reinhardt who took it to Berlin in 1896. Two
additional fragments discovered, written in Greek, in the 20th
century (1940s) which totals to less than eight pages of ancient papyrus text
survive, which amounts of half of the text lost. Considering that the early
Christian Church ordered the Gnostic library and the texts not authorized by
the Christian Church to be destroyed, it is amazing that any of those texts
could ever be found.
