TRAINED to disrespect the police | Greg Kelly In another routine traffic stop-turned national embarrassment, Greg shreds this self-proclaimed victim's narrative. via Greg Kelly Reports, weekdays at 7PM ET on Newsmax TV: nws.mx/tv

I believe we don't have no more gentlemen in this world.

Is there a God? Was the universe created by a Divine Creator, or did it just happen? If the universe just happened, then what started the process? The laws of thermodynamics have PROVEN that neither energy nor matter can be destroyed. You can convert one form into another, but you cannot create nor destroy either. Based upon this scientific FACT, it is perplexing to try to understand the origin of the universe. How could something come from nothing? Even more complex and disturbing is the thought that time could have NO BEGINNING. Everything that mankind has ever learned, tested, proved, designed or theorized CANNOT explain this great mystery. How could time have ever begun? What would have existed before time? Even if you could trace the universe back trillions of years (which you cannot), you would still be faced with an unsolvable mystery... what existed before time? If time is traveling backwards and forwards, then at what point did it begin? There is no sensible mortal answer for these questions. The only answer that makes perfect sense is God. Another baffling thought is the size of the universe... how big is it? Can the universe have an end? If so, then what exists beyond the universe?... more universe? Trying to understand such a mystery is a perplexing and mind-numbing exercise in futility. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for the universe to have a boundary, a limit. What would exist beyond that limit? Even empty space is something, it occupies SPACE. So where does the space end? At what point is there nothing, and what exactly is nothing if it takes up space? There is NO humanly plausible answer. Though multitudes of godless “experts” and “professors” have arrogantly tried to explain such mysteries by teaching babble and false science, the net sum of all their answers is utter foolishness. The ONLY logical answer is a Divine Creator. The Supernatural Word of God Not only does simple logic testify to the existence of God, but so also does the Holy Bible. The Bible is self-proclaimed as God's Word (2nd Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12). Whether a person wants to acknowledge the Bible as “God's Word” is an entirely different matter, but the Bible does claim to be God's Authoritative Word. One might reason that there are several “other” such books in the world that also CLAIM to be inspired by a divine being. So what makes the Bible so special? . . . For one, it's CONTENT. No other book in this world addresses mankind's wicked sinfulness and need for divine redemption. Only the Holy Bible completely explains man's origin, purpose and destiny. The miraculous way in which the Holy Bible has been given to mankind. Literally thousands of manuscripts have been unearthed by archaeologists throughout Middle East (over 5,000 of the New Testament alone). If men authored the Bible, then it would have been impossible to bury the many different passages of the Bible, over varying centuries, in different languages and penned by forty different men. God is the divine Author of the Holy Bible. Obtaining forgiveness from God. Also, only the Bible tells us how to obtain forgiveness, salvation and peace with God (Romans 5:1; Romans 10:9-13). God's love for man. No other book in this world speaks of God's unconditional love for mankind (John 3:16). Eternal punishment for man's wickedness. No other book warns of God's fierce judgment and eternal punishment upon the ungodly (Revelation 20:11-15). Fulfilled prophecy. No other book in the world contains as much accurate prophecy (and fulfilled prophecy) as does the Bible (there is NO prophecy in the Quran). The King James Bible contains 29% prophecy. Theological harmony of the total of Scripture. No other book in the world can boast of such harmony of agreement, between over forty known writers (God being the Divine Author), spanning 1,500 years of time; and yet arranged in one perfectly interwoven volume. The Bible gives us a detailed explanation of the creation of the universe, and teaches that the universe was created by the Word of God... Hebrews 11:3, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” There is your answer friend, God created the universe out of NOTHING! God did the impossible as ONLY God can do. What other book in this world claims that God created the worlds out of nothing? Could such a book be mere coincidence when it so perfectly answers all of the perplexing questions I presented to you earlier? The Bible is undoubtedly the Word of God that it claims to be. No other book even compares. Jesus Christ is the Creator, God Almighty... Colossians 1:13-17, “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” We read in Hebrews 11:3 above that “Through FAITH we understand...” It is ONLY through faith in the Word of God that anyone will ever understand the truth about creation. The atheists and evolutionists do NOT have faith in God or the Bible; rather, they have placed their faith in unproven theories, speculation, and false science. The great error of their thinking is the failure to concede that THERE IS NO LOGICAL ANSWER OTHER THAN A DIVINE CREATOR. Evolution cannot be proved because it is a dirty lie of the Devil. Evolution is false. Evolution is stupid. Evolution is baseless speculation. The ONLY plausible answer is God. The Bible confirms what our common sense should teach us about the origin of the universe. Creation couldn't have happened without a divine Creator. The proof is irrefutable that God exists! History proves that the King James Bible is God's inspired, preserved, inerrant, Word of God. Man's Need is God's Proof Man's need is God's proof. In every culture throughout history, men have sought God (whether the true and living God, humanism or idols as gods). Nature itself testifies of God's existence, Godhead, eternal power and goodness... Romans 1:20-21, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” There are innumerable proofs of God's existence. Science is one of them. Astronomy is nothing less than astonishing and a testimony to God's greatness and omnipotent power. Just as spectacular is the tiny world under the scrutiny of a microscope, manifesting the incredible knowledge, care and frightening power of our Creator. DNA is further evidence of God's divine handiwork. Even in pagan areas of the world, primitive tribal peoples have historically sacrificed their children to alligators in rivers, burned them alive on the alter of Moloch, or some other cruel form of satanism. The human heart knows that sin must be paid for with blood and death. Thankfully, Christ offered Himself on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. Jesus is the Lamb of God offered up for all men. Hence, eternal life is a free gift to all, paid for by the sacrifice of Christ. Evolution is Blatant Fraud Evolution could not do what scientists foolishly claim it does. Evolution is blatant fraud, begun by occult Freemasons in the 19th century as the fulfillment of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto (see 10th plank calling for public schools) to indoctrinate children. Monstrous murderer, Joseph Stalin (as well as killers Hitler, Mao and PolPot) were all devout followers of Charles Darwin's demonic falsehood, “The Origin of Species.” It was Darwin's demonic theories that lowered humans to the level of cattle, pigs and chickens to be slaughtered without conscience. Research any mass-murdering dictator's opinion of Charles Darwin and you'll see that what I say is true. The Bloody History Of Communism (a full-length 2:08 hour film; this is some really bizarre stuff). Watch this historical video, seeing all the senseless murdering of hundreds-of-millions of innocent people by atheists, and then tell me (if you can) that there is no God. You cannot if you are honest. When God is abandoned, so also is all morality and compassion for one's neighbour. God Can Be Found if You Want Him If you sincerely are confused and desire to know the truth, you will find it in the Word of God. Get you a King James Bible!!! Romans 10:16-17, “But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Our faith is increased by hearing the Word of God (the Holy Bible). When we hear what the Scriptures have to say, we learn THE TRUTH... John 5:37-40, “And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” My friend, in closing, you don't have to search far for God to find Him, because He keeps you breathing (Daniel 5:23; Acts 17:25). God authored the Scriptures for you, and for me, and for all mankind. The Holy Bible is God's instruction manual to humanity. Jeremiah 29:13, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” If you want to know God, then you must first know Jesus Christ, Who is the manifestation of the Godhead to the world (John 1:1-3,14; Colossians 2:9; 1st Timothy 3:16). If you'd like to know Jesus Christ, you must repent of your unbelief and believe THE GOSPEL (i.e., Christ died for your sins on the cross, He was buried and bodily resurrected after three days). This is the “gospel” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

Romans 5:6, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” The crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ was a horrible sight. He had been tortured, mocked and spat upon through the night and hours proceeding His grueling journey to Calvary. The nails were driven through His hands and feet. His opened, bloody flesh of His whipped back was placed against a wooden cross, where the people mocked Him and told Him to come down if He were really the Son of God. All of this was done for you and me dear reader. The cross is not an example of victimization, it is a demonstration of a love that nobody on this earth can comprehend. The cross is not an example of powerlessness, it is the love offering of the strongest, most powerful, most courageous human being that ever walked the face of the earth. The cross is not an example of a martyr dying for a cause, it is God come in the flesh, becoming a bloody sacrifice for His creatures. But the story did not end there... After the Lord Jesus Christ died, He was wrapped in linen and laid in a grave. Three days later, He miraculously rose from the dead just like He said He would (Mark 14:58). Everybody knew that Jesus had said He would rise the third day. They even had soldiers to guard the tomb to make sure His body wouldn't leave it. In their insanity, they did not understand that no man can stop God. Before Jesus went back up to Heaven where He came from, He was seen by over 500 believers at once (1st Corinthians 15:6). Jesus now sits on the right hand of the throne of God where He ever liveth to make intercession for His children (Colossians 3:1; Romans 8:34). Jesus came to this earth to die on the cross for every human being. Jesus performed miracles so that people would know that He is indeed the Savior, the only begotten Son of God, but He came to die. The reason that He died is for our sins. The Bible says that every person in this whole world has sinned (Romans 3:23). Examples of sin include stealing, adultery, murder, dishonoring one's parents, taking God's name in vain, et cetera. The Bible says that God NEVER sins and that sinners cannot enter into God's Kingdom (1st Corinthians 6:9-11). But God loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son—Jesus—Who died for our sins on a cross—that's the crucifixion. Christ suffered in our place. When Jesus was on the cross, He shed His blood to pay for our sins (1st Peter 1:18-19). But Christ did not remain dead. On the third day, He resurrected from the dead and was seen by over 500 people before He went back to Heaven where He came from—that's the resurrection. Dear friend, this is the Gospel (the GOOD NEWS) by which anyone who believes is immediately, irrevocably and permanently saved. Jesus DIED, was BURIED and RESURRECTED the third day. That is “the Gospel” according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” The Gospel is NOT turning away from your sins to be saved. That is a counterfeit gospel if you hear anyone teaching that. The Gospel is NOT getting water baptized to be saved. If you hear someone teaching that, you know they are lying. The Apostle Paul plainly defines the Gospel in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 as three things: Christ DIED on the cross for our sins, He was BURIED, and after three days Jesus physically RESURRECTED from the dead for our justification. Any guilty sinner who believes the Good News is saved. Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” The Gospel is NOT a call to improve your behavior, surrender all to Christ, turn over a new leaf, commit to do better in the future, turn away from your sins, attend a church, become religious, get water baptized, or anything else! Adding ANY of these extra things to your faith means you won't go to Heaven. The only way to be saved with certainty is to simply place your complete confidence in the Good News of Christ crucified, buried and risen for your sins. I am going to Heaven when I die because of what JESUS DID, and not in the least way because of what I DO. The true Gospel always points you to Christ; a false gospel always points to you. Jesus came into the world to seek and to save sinners! Luke 19:10, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” The only way Jesus could save us sinners was to DIE ON THE CROSS to pay our debt of sin. Romans 5:6-9, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Amen! What a great God and Savior! Simply BELIEVE what God has written in His inspired Word dear friend and you are saved.

'We're Going To Send Them Back': Trump Goes On Tear Against Undocumented Immigrants At Rally by Forbes Breaking News “We don't have a country if we don't have a border!” —Alex Jones, July 10, 2010 Illegal Immigrants should NOT be allowed to stay in the US! It is high treason for our political leaders in Washington D.C. to do nothing as millions of illegals flood across the border. President Barack Obama has betrayed his oath of office and the American people. Illegals are breaking THE LAW. If you are a Hispanic American citizen, then I am your friend. If you are illegally here in America, then you ought to be arrested and put into prison or thrown out of the country! We don't have a country if we don't have a border! What's happening is that greedy corporations have sold out America's sovereignty in order to further their globalist agendas that make them more money. They're exploiting slave labor worldwide. The Beast system of the coming Antichrist, i.e., the New World Order, is being built upon the love of money, the root of all evil (1st Timothy 6:10). From top to bottom in the system, wicked people have sold their souls for a dollar. Judges have been paid off. Lawyers have been paid off. CPS has been paid off. The CIA, FBI, NSA, TSA, Homeland Security, and hundreds of others organizations are all in bed together, all falling under the control of The Council On Foreign Relations. America has been hijacked by thieving criminals. Politicians have been paid off, and many blackmailed to go along or else! J. Edgar Hoover blackmailed hundreds of Washington politicians as the founder of the F.B.I., gathering spy data on key politicians and officials. Hoover was a homosexual criminal thug! Unfortunately, illegals are here to stay because of the evil New World Order gang who are committed to the destabilizing and destruction of the United States. The purpose of the deliberate open borders is to bring down real wages, establish a large group of non-citizens who will eagerly go against the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution to receive amnesty, and ultimately destroy American sovereignty in order to eliminate the U.S. as an obstacle to achieving a Global Government by the criminal Banksters. Tens-of-millions of illegal immigrants are economically destroying the United States... "Statistics tell the story: About 60 percent of deportation orders are ignored. In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding homicide warrants and 60 percent of outstanding felony warrants are for illegal aliens. American taxpayers are paying for the crimes of the 8,000 convicted aliens not yet caught and the incarceration costs of those who have been, estimated to add up to more than $1 billion a year — in just the states that border Mexico. Because of illegal immigrants, free medical care has degraded and closed some of America’s finest emergency medical facilities and caused hospital bankruptcies: 84 California hospital are closing their doors forever." —SOURCE Don't buy the lie that illegals are working the jobs that Americans don't want. The truth is that no one living in America can live on petty wages, unless you live with twenty or thirty other Mexicans under one roof. It is evil what is happening to America's LEGAL citizens. In fact, American citizens are now competing with illegals for the remaining minimum wage jobs in the United States!!!!!! America is being stolen away from it's rightful tax-paying citizens. And the sickest thing of all is that our own government leaders are selling us out, Democrats and Republicans alike. Most top leaders of our nation and those committing crimes against the American people in The White House are members of The Council On Foreign Relations (which is the visible organization of the New World Order). These people are thug criminals! The New World Order is the corporate takeover of nations. Nations don't rule the world, corporations do! Many corporations now have their own private militias. There needs to be a trial by the people, for the people, and a hanging in Washington D.C. of all the treasonous criminals who are looting America, exploiting our troops to murder millions of innocent people and destroy our nation's sovereignty. Tens-of-thousands of bankers, lawyers, politicians, judges, corporate leaders, newsmedia deceivers and lawmakers would be brought to justice and executed. The American people would rejoice to get their country back! Proverb 29:2, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Today in America, the people mourn! This evil has come upon us because of our wickedness in the United States. God has given us over to wicked leaders to afflict us, and bring us into bondage. Our Nation is Being Subverted But the problem goes much deeper than the present illegal immigrant crisis. Few Americans realize, or care to realize, that our nation is deliberately being subverted from Washington D.C. Literally, America's CITIZENS (not illegals), are being stabbed in the back and sold into slavery by their own leaders. The godless "Federal Reserve" system is nothing more than a term which Americans are familiar with hearing; BUT, have no idea of the diabolic conspiracy behind it's creation to utterly BANKRUPT the United States. As of March 2006, we were $9,000,000,000,000 in federal debt!!! We are beyond the point of no return! America is headed for financial destabilization and destruction! The borders have been deliberately left open for many years, to undermine America's workforce and sovereignty. Multitudes of the largest American companies have gone overseas, or down to Mexico, to exploit cheap labor. As a result, American citizens no longer can find a decent paying job. Unemployment statistics are bogus, not counting people who have already been laid off for 6 months or longer. What a joke! The government is lying to and deceiving America's CITIZENS. Our Public school system is a massive nationwide failure! America's children are deliberately being dumbed down. Morally, every form of vile filth is being promoted on TV, from Disney's Desperate Housewives, to the abominable Jerry Springer Show. It is no secret that the entire rock music industry has it's roots in Satanism. America is the world's leading producer of pornography and smut. In so many ways, the traditional family is under attack. Bigger prisons are being built. Churches are being burned to the ground. Christians are being arrested for speaking the truth. Gays and lesbians are appearing everywhere. How much of this wickedness will God tolerate? America's streets have been flooded with illegal drugs, compliments of the CIA (cocaine import agency). Leaders in congress, such as Maxine Waters and Cynthia McKinney, have exposed these great evils within our own government. Former police officer, Mike Ruppert, has much to say concerning the government's deliberate drug trafficking in the U.S. Our own government has betrayed us! Wake up America! Our nation is being destroyed from within! No doubt, the greatest blame for the subversion of America rests upon it's ignorant, complacent, and apathetic citizens. Do you realize that 5% of the U.S. workforce is now illegal immigrants? It is tragic! 58% of All Mexicans Say U.S. Southwest Belongs to Mexico Even worse, many Mexican immigrants are claiming that the U.S. was theirs to begin with, and we stole it from them... A healthy majority of Mexicans claim that their country rightfully owns much of the southwestern United States, while most Americans believe Washington should adopt stricter immigration standards and deploy U.S. troops along the border, a new poll says. According to a just-published survey conducted by Zogby International, the polling firm found that a majority of Mexicans say the U.S. southwest "rightfully belongs to Mexico," and that Mexican citizens should be able to come into those areas freely, without U.S. permission. The poll found that 58 percent of Mexicans agree with the statement, "The territory of the United States' southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico." -SOURCE Where will this all end? The result is inevitable ... the United States will increasingly deteriorate to a third world nation in a matter of decades. With hospitals disappearing, health care costs skyrocketing, companies offering fewer benefits to employees, personal bankruptcies soaring in 2005, and illegal immigrants bleeding the economy to death--the future of America can only be bleak! The average American doesn't care because it hasn't affected them YET. The reason why is because the Federal DEBT is absorbing all the costs! But WE taxpaying CITIZENS have to pay all that money back!!! The Federal Reserve (private bankers) are lending hundreds-of-billions at a time to our reckless and irresponsible politicians, who shouldn't be borrowing anything. There is coming a day when the U.S. government will have no choice but to default on their loans from other nations. The day will come when the Federal Reserve (private bankers) decide not to loan the U.S. government any more money. At this time, control of the U.S. will be confiscated by the CFR and the United Nations. Just as the fool who thinks he's rich because he has a credit card, American's are idiots to think that our government can recklessly and wildly spend money like there's no tomorrow, without there being severe repercussions and consequences in the future for our children. The southwestern states do NOT belong to Mexico! I am not against legal immigrants; but, illegals should go back to where they came from. To say otherwise is to spit on America's citizens, which is exactly what many illegal immigrants do. If it's illegal, it's ILLEGAL! To allow illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. sends the wrong message to future wannabe illegal immigrants. The message is clear ... "The government in Washington is betraying the American people by leaving the borders wide open, so bring the whole family." Kids Forbidden from Being Patriotic! Who would have thought that a day would come in America when school children would be forbidden from being patriotic! Because of the anger of Mexicans in America over the border issue, many school administrators are forbidding America's young people from wearing anything patriotic. This is unbelievable!!! This is America, and America's kids are being told NOT to wear American flags on their sleeves, or T-shirts promoting America. How wicked and evil this has all become. Who would have thought that there would come such a day as this? I mean, this is OUR nation and we can't even celebrate it anymore. Don't you see what's happening? We are losing our country to elite internationalists who could care less about American sovereignty. They are exploiting America's government, laws, military, resources, and economy for their own selfish agendas. Our top politicians are puppets. And don't kid yourself, the national deficit isn't going any direction except higher. In the end, it will be the irreparable destruction of our countries' sovereignty. Think about it ... American children being threatened with discipline if they wear anything patriotic to school. If this doesn't make you mad, then you should leave the United States and live elsewhere. I mean, it's like a stranger off the street coming into your home, that you own, and telling you not to hang an American flag outside. It's bad enough that America has been flooded with illegal immigrants, now we can't even be patriotic for fear of them. Since they're here ILLEGALLY, they should all be sent back, even if it takes a couple years to bus them all back. Furthermore, why is our government even considering giving them amnesty? Criminals should not be allowed to break the law. Ecclesiastes 8:11 states, "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." By not enforcing the law, we are encouraging people to continue to break the law ... and they are! This is not about racial discrimination, it is about protecting our nation. It's about enforcing the laws of the land. Suspect Washington politicians should be arrested and put on trial for failing to enforce the law. I get sick every time I hear George W. Bush talk about protecting America against the threat of Iraq (10,000 miles away), while our borders remain wide open. What a scam! Iraq never was a threat. As usual, we've been lied to. It's time for the American people to unite together against the evils in this nation, and work for change. Thank God for leaders like Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, Congressman Ron Paul, and others, who are fighting for the American people. Information is crucial, and we need to educate as many people as possible to what's going on, so they can stand against it too. Companies Who Hire Illegals Should be Prosecuted! But let's not just blame the government. Who's hiring these illegal immigrants as slave labor, paying them under the table? American companies! The government actually encourages the hiring of illegal immigrants by not prosecuting companies for doing so. Every business who knowingly hires an illegal immigrant should automatically by shut down. The company owner and management should be held in violation of the law! Fines should be severe. It's becoming so bad in America, that large companies are knowingly hiring illegal aliens by the hundreds, knowing full well that the workers have fake documentation. Why do companies hire illegals? To save money, of course. But there's more. Illegals are easily manipulated. If an illegal causes trouble, or a female doesn't succumb to the sexual advances of an immoral boss, they are threatened with exposure. It is a great evil upon America. These workers DON'T pay a dime in taxes; BUT, they collect welfare, put their kids in our schools, receive food stamps, receive free medical, etc. It is so wrong and un-American! The first thing many police officers ask, when approached by a suspect illegal immigrant, is for their Social Security Number. Of course, the illegal immigrant shuts-up and leaves quickly. These illegal foreigners are living on America's streets, posing a major threat to society. I heard a recent news report that 42 illegal immigrants were found living in one apartment! Is it any wonder that, In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding homicide warrants and 60 percent of outstanding felony warrants are for illegal aliens? -SOURCE. So the blame also rests upon unethical greedy companies who are eagerly willing to break the law to boost profits and reduce worker complaints. Ultimately, the blame rests upon the American people for not speaking out louder against this great evil. It's America's church congregations who should be speaking out the loudest; BUT, they are completely silent. If they won't cry out against the murderous evils of abortion, then why should they care about anything else? Indifference is destroying America! Conclusion In conclusion, I'm not against LEGAL immigration, and I welcome foreigners; BUT, when they disregard our laws and ILLEGALLY enter OUR country, they are criminals and should be dealt with as such. I realize that there are all types of sob stories and reasons WHY Latin Americans are defending their own people; however, such attempts to undermine our laws are EVIL! It will be the same when lost sinners stand before God on judgment day. I can here them now, demanding a lawyer. God will cast them into Hell, and there will be absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. There will be justice, unlike America today. I here these Benedict Arnolds on the news trying to defend ILLEGAL immigration by claiming that America is the land of opportunity. Yes, but not for criminals!!! When American sympathy is shown for illegal immigrants, while 84 hospitals in California have already been FORCED to close because of illegal immigrants, something is VERY WRONG with the U.S. government. America's CITIZENS are being betrayed by their own leaders!!! We must speak out!

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world." —1st Peter 5:8-9 The inspired Word of God teaches that Satan is the god of this world, and his primary function is to blind humanity from the truth of the Gospel, “lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” The Devil is a monster, who wants as many people as possible to spend eternity burning with him in Hell. John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Satan is a nefarious being, that is, extremely wicked. The Scriptures call Satan our “adversary,” our enemy. 1st Peter 5:7-8, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” The Devil walketh about, seeking victims, so he can devour our life and happiness. Satan will rob you of everything you hold near and dear in this life. Sin thrills and then it kills. Sin fascinates and then it assassinates. Thomas Guthrie said, “Never fear to suffer; but, oh, fear to sin! If you must choose between them, prefer the greatest suffering to the smallest sin.” I bought a helpful little book years ago by Dr. Curtis Hutson titled, Punch Lines, which is filled with hundreds of helpful quotes for preachers to use in their sermons. Here's some quotes from the book about the Devil... “Satan is to be avoided as a lion; dreaded as a serpent; but he must be feared as “an angel of light”! “The Devil did not tempt Adam and Eve to steal, to lie, to kill, to commit adultery; he tempted them to live independent of God.” —Dr. Bob Jones Sr. “Satan can build a wall around us, and often does, but he can never put a lid on it! SO KEEP LOOKING UP!” “Why, the very spelling of the Devil's name shows what he is—Devil, evil, vile, ill, hell!” —Pastor Charles Spurgeon SOURCE: “Punch Lines,” page 37 (here's a partial version of the book on Google) The Holy Bible teaches that the Devil is presently DECEIVING the whole world. Satan is deceiving people in many ways. We read in Daniel 8:25 that the Antichrist “BY PEACE SHALL DESTROY MANY.” Satan is peacefully setting up his demonic New World Order, the 7th king (world power) of Revelation 17:10. The 8th king will be the Antichrist, who rises up from the 7th. What brute force communism failed to accomplish during World War I and World War II, Luciferians are accomplishing today peacefully through deceptive world trade agreements, the ungodly United Nations, oppressive World Banks, et cetera. The world is being deceived in many ways... Revelation 12:9, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 13:14, “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth.” Revelation 20:10, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation 19:20, “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast.” THE DEVIL IS A BEAUTIFUL LIAR!!! These are but a few Scriptures teaching that the Devil DECEIVES mankind. I could write a book of the various ways in which the masses are being DECEIVED today worldwide. Americans in particular have been woefully deceived in so many ways. The bogus lies of Evolution are a massive fraud. God pity all the brainwashed children riding on the public fool bus each day! The Federal Reserve Banking system is a massive fraud, intended to rob hardworking Americans of their wealth. Since the year 1913, when the Federal Reserve Act was passed under shady circumstances (over a quiet Christmas weekend while most members of congress were absent), the American people have been victimized by the ungodly, thieving, international banking cartel. THEY ARE OPPRESSORS AND GREEDY TYRANTS, THE PERPETRATORS OF ALL MAJOR WARS (FOR FINANCIAL PROFIT)!!! You can learn all about this horror in Commander William Guy Carr's insightful book titled, “PAWNS IN THE GAME.” One way that Satan is DECEIVING the world is through the diabolical United Nations... “The U.N. has become a trap. Let’s go it alone.” —U.S. Senator Robert Taft “Until my dying day, I will regret signing the United Nations Charter.” —U.S. Senator Patrick McCarran “The time has come to recognize the United Nations for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the United Nations to find a headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking.” —U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater “Unless the U.N. is completely reorganized without the Communist nations in it, we should get out of it.” —former President Herbert Hoover The world has been DECEIVED by Luciferians concerning the truth behind World Wars I and II (and now we're being led into World War III). The masses were deceitfully led into ALL major wars, which over the past two centuries have claimed the lives of over 200,000,000 people. Power can become a dangerous thing!!! Although the higher powers are ordained by God (Romans 13:1-10), Satan exploits these “higher” powers for his own agendas. The Bible refers to such exploitation as “spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12b). Satan uses all power that is “delivered” unto him by God, to DECEIVE the world, to BLIND the masses from the truth of the Gospel. Luke 4:6, “And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.” Satan gives “power” to those whom He chooses to give it, but ultimately ALL power comes only from God.

Leviticus 19:29, “Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.” 1st Peter 2:11 and Jude:1:19, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul ... These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.” Increasingly, Americans are becoming sex-sickos! The LIFETIME TV channel is the most evil thing ever contrived by the wicked. LIFETIME started a pedophile dance program for 7 year old girls in July of 2011. Dance Moms is an American reality television series that debuted on the Lifetime TV network on July 13, 2011. Created by Collins Avenue Productions, it is set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the Abby Lee Dance Company, and follows children's early careers in dance show business along with their mothers, who support them. Dance Moms has been renewed for a second season that aired January 10, 2012 on Lifetime. SOURCE: Dance Moms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The sick program exploits little girls, some only 7 years old, painting them up like prostitutes and teaching then to dance like professional strippers on stage. No wonder child rape and sexual crimes are on the rise in America (and they're guaranteed to continue, jut as the globalist elite, the architects behind the NWO intended). Behind the love of money that drives this wickedness, there is a sinister agenda to undermine and destroy America's families and churches.

SATAN'S TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR PARENTS by Pastor James L. Melton Thou shalt not take thy children to a Bible-believing church That's right, the last thing I need is a generation of children who learn to believe and obey God's word! Take your sons and daughters to a big and liberal church where there are scores of fun activities to waste their time and rob them of any chance to really learn the Bible. Don't take them to an old-fashioned and fundamental church where the King James Bible is believed, preached and taught. Thou shalt not teach thy children to know and serve Jesus Christ I'll never populate Hell if you allow your children to see their lost condition and their need to have their sins washed away in the blood of Jesus Christ! Let them wait until they are older so they can decide for themselves what to believe. By then, I'll have them so brainwashed they'll never be saved. Tell them when to get up, when to take a bath, what to eat, when to be home and when to go to bed, but don't tell them what to believe about God, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. Thou shalt not spank thy children I want to produce a whole generation of self-serving rebels who are not disciplined and who do not respect any moral authority-- including God. When this happens, I will rule the world and damn billions to Hell forever! I need YOUR help! DON'T spank that child! Thou shalt enroll thy children in a day care center Mom, don't even think of staying home to train up your children! Sure, the Bible commands women to be "keepers at home," but who believes the Bible these days? Your family can't make it on a single income. Get yourself a job and let my specially trained day care agents start working on your children. You make the babies and let me handle the rest. Thou shalt enroll thy children in the public school system Don't even think of home schooling or a private school. You just trust me to educate your children the way I think best. The public school system is packed full of my agents. We've already thrown the Bible, the Ten Commandments and prayer out of the schools. Now we're having the time of our life! We'll teach your kids that they have evolved from animals so they'll feel no obligation to honor and obey their true Creator. Then we'll let them dress any way they choose while teaching them all about sex. We'll even have a few dances each year so they can rub their bodies together while listening and dancing to the most ungodly music the world has ever known. With a little luck, your kids will have their own kids before finishing high school, which just means more day care prospects for me! Don't you just love my system?!!!! Thou shalt allow thy children to walk, talk, dress and act like all other children You wouldn't want you child to feel strange or different from other kids, would you? Of course you wouldn't! You want your child to grow up to fit into the world, to feel accepted and normal in society. That's exactly what I want! I want everyone to just fit in with society - to conform to the trends and fashions of the day. I have the majority of the earth's population marching right into Hell without even knowing it. Don't ask questions about your children's conduct, their styles, and their trends. Just accept it as "the latest thing" and let me direct their footsteps. I know just where they need to be and I know just how to get them there! Thou shalt teach thy children to worship sports Ah, yes! Let's not forget that one! Let's keep that child's mind occupied all the time lest they start thinking and asking questions about God, the Bible and Jesus Christ! I want them playing baseball, softball, basketball, football, ballet, swimming, track, gymnastics, and everything else you can find. In addition to this, buy them shoes and clothing endorsed by famous sports figures and take them to every sporting event possible. With a little effort, you can waste at least ten or fifteen hours every week! Hopefully, by the time they're grown they'll be reading the sports page and watching the sports channel every day while neverreading the Bible. Thou shalt provide thy children with unrestricted entertainment Don't deprive your kids of all the things that other kids enjoy, such as Internet access, their choice magazines, video games, television and movies. These are perfect mediums by which I am reaching millions of young people every day. They're listening to my music, looking at my pictures, and applying my self destructive principles in their lives. It's amazing how willing parents are to turn their kids over to me, but they're certainly doing it. So pleasedon't ask questions or investigate the choice entertainment of your sons and daughters. Thou shalt permit thy sons and daughters to start dating by the age of sixteen Preferably before then, like maybe thirteen or fourteen, but certainly no later than sixteen! Other teenagers date, so why shouldn't your teens date? Other teenagers experiment with sex, drugs and alcohol, so why shouldn't your teens do likewise? You think, "Oh, my teen wouldn't do anything like that!" Yeah, right! I'm so glad you foolish parents have such short memories! I'm so glad you've forgotten yourteenage years! One of my greatest assets in ruining your child is your belief that your child is different and wouldn't do any wrong. You make my job so easy - and fun! Thou shalt not receive counsel from any Christian When you encounter a Christian who has exceptionally well behaved children, you will be tempted to seek advice from them on raising your own children. DON'T! These people are religious nuts. They believing in training up children GOD'S WAY, which is the old-fashioned way. This is the twenty-first century, a new age with a new way of life. Away with God and the Bible! Away with Jesus and fundamental churches! Live like you want to live! After all, you only live once, and then you'll be in Hell forever - along with your kids! Just fear me and keep MY commandments, and we'll all be together one day - sooner than you may think! Your's Truly . . . . . Lucifer God's Way Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6) And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Eph. 6:4) According to the Bible, children are to be TRAINED in the ways of God, not in the ways of men. Human traditions and philosophies are irrelevant. Every parent will be accountable to God for seeing to it that their children are TRAINED in righteousness. Friend, you've seen Satan's way, and it is evident throughout our society that his way is the way of sin, misery, danger, destruction and death. God has a much better way. Jesus said, ". . . I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) Acts 4:12 says, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." The Lord Jesus Christ has come and PAID for your sins by shedding His own Blood on Calvary. By receiving Him as your Saviour, you can be WASHED from all your sins in His precious Blood (Rev. 1:5; Col. 1:14; Acts 20:28; I Pet. 1:18-19). Notice these important words from Romans 5:8-9:"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Jesus PAID your way to Heaven for you! By receiving Him as your Saviour, you will be receiving God's ONLY means of Salvation. Are you willing to forsake YOUR righteousness and receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour, your ONLY HOPE for Salvation? Romans 10:13 says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:9 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Are you willing to forsake your own righteousness, and trust Jesus Christ alone? He will save you just as He promised. Why not receive Him today and trust Him to give you a better way of life? How can you be a proper parent for your children if you aren't a true Christian? Why not receive Jesus Christ today and start applying Biblical principles in the training of your children? An Excellent Book Perhaps the best book available on the proper training of children is To Train Up A Child by Michael and Debi Pearl. This book will rid your mind of the traditional methods used in "raising" children, and it will replace them with the Biblical principles of TRAINING children. No parent has to accept unruly behavior from a child. There IS a cure.

To all Trump hater to all liberals we are getting ready to party when Trump win the 2024 election.

JOHN 15:25 —"They have hated me without a cause." These are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. In my two former discourses on total depravity, I have endeavored to demonstrate, that all impenitent sinners, hate God supremely. And having, as I suppose, established this doctrine beyond controversy by an appeal to matters of fact; it now becomes a very solemn and important question, why sinners hate God? If sinners have good reason for hating God, then they are not to blame for it; but if they have no good reason, or if they hate him when they ought to love him; then they have incurred great guilt by their enmity to God. In speaking from this subject, I design 1st. To show what is not the reason of their hatred. 2nd. What is the reason of it. 3rd. That they hate him, for the very reasons, for which they ought to love him. I. I am to show, what is not the reason of their hatred. 1st. It is not because God has so constituted them, that they have a physical, or constitutional aversion to God. The text affirms that sinners have hated God without a cause. Not that there is no reason why they hate him; but no good reason. Not that there is strictly no cause for their hatred; for every effect must have some cause; but there is no just cause. If God had so created man, that he was under a physical necessity of hating his Maker, this would not only be a cause, but a just cause for hating him. If God had incorporated with the very substance of his being, a constitutional aversion to himself; this would be a sufficient cause, not only for the sinner's hating him, but a good reason why all other beings should hate him. 2nd. The sinner's hatred of God, is not caused by any hereditary, or transmitted disposition to hate him. A disposition to hate God, is itself hatred. Disposition, is an action of the mind, and not a part of the mind itself. It is therefore absurd, to talk of an hereditary, or transmitted disposition to love or hate God, or anything else. It is impossible that a voluntary state of mind should be hereditary, or transmitted from one generation to another. If any of you understand by disposition, a propensity, or temper; not an action, which is not a voluntary state of mind; but a quality, or attribute, that is part of the mind itself, I say, 3rd. That the sinner's hatred, is not caused by any such attribute, or property, that makes a part of the mind, and which in itself has a natural and necessary aversion to God. 4th. There is no just cause, in the constitution of our nature, for opposition to God. The nature of man, is as it should be. Its powers are as God made them. He has made them in the best manner, in which infinite power, and goodness and wisdom could make them. They are perfectly adapted to the service of his creator; and if we survey all the exquisite mechanism, and delicate organization of the body, and scrutinize all the properties, and powers, and capabilities, of the mind, we can find no just cause of complaint; but on the other hand, infinite reason to love, and adore the great architect, and exclaim with the Psalmist, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." 5th. There is no just cause for the sinner's hatred, in that wise and benevolent arrangement, by which all men have descended from one common ancestor; and under which divine arrangement, we are naturally, (not necessarily) influenced; and our characters modified by the circumstances under which we have our being. Our being so constituted, as naturally to influence each other, and be highly instrumental in modifying each other's character, is a wise and benevolent arrangement, of the highest importance to the universe: but like every other good thing, is liable to great abuse; and by how much the more powerful our influence is, to promote virtue when we do right, by just so much the greater is our influence, to promote vice, when we do wrong. 6th. Again. There is no cause for the sinner's hatred, in the moral government of God. His commandments are not grievous; nor impossible to be obeyed; nor calculated to produce misery when obeyed: but on the contrary, "his yoke is easy, and his burden is light." His commandments are easily obeyed; and obedience naturally results in happiness. If God had established a government, the requirements of which, were so high, that it was extremely difficult to yield obedience to his laws. If the laws were so obscure and intricate, and difficult to understand, that an honest mind were in great danger of mistaking the real meaning of his requirements; or if his laws were arbitrary, unnecessary, and capricious; or if they were guarded by unjust and cruel sanctions: if any of these things were true, sinners would have a just cause to hate God. But not one of them is true. Again. Sinners have no just cause for their hatred, in the requirements of the Gospel. If the conditions of salvation, held forth in the Gospel, were arbitrary, capricious, or unjust; if it were impossible to comply with them; if the terms of salvation were put so high, that men have not natural power to obey them, and fulfil the conditions upon which their salvation is suspended. If God commanded them to repent, when they had no power to repent; if he required them to believe, when they had no power to believe; and threatened to send them to hell, for not repenting and believing; in any, and in all these cases, sinners would have just reason to hate God. But none of these things are true. The conditions of the Gospel, so far from being arbitrary, are indispensable in their nature, to salvation, so far from being put so high, that it is impossible, or even difficult to comply with them; they are brought down as low as they possibly can be, without rendering the sinner's salvation impossible. Repentance and faith, are indispensable to fit the soul for the enjoyment of heaven; and if God should dispense with these conditions, and consent that the sinner should remain in his sins, it would render the sinner's damnation certain. Again. Not only are the conditions of salvation necessary in their own nature, but it is easy to comply with them. Much easier than to reject them. Our powers of mind, are as well suited to accept, as to reject the Gospel. The motives to accept, are infinitely greater than to reject the offers of mercy. So weighty, indeed are the motives to comply with the conditions of the Gospel, that sinners often find it difficult to resist them, and they are under the necessity of making almost ceaseless efforts to maintain themselves in impenitence and unbelief. Again. There is no just cause for hating God, in his providential government of the world. There is no reason to doubt, that God, so administers his providential government, as to produce upon the whole, the highest, and most salutary, practicable influence in favor of holiness. It is manifest that his moral laws, are guarded by the highest possible sanctions: that all has been done, which the perfection of moral government could do, to secure universal holiness in the world. So it is true, beyond all reasonable doubt, that his physical or providential government, is administered in the wisest possible manner. It is doubtless administered solely for the benefit , and in support of moral government. It is so arranged, as to bring out and exert the highest moral influence, that such a government is capable of exerting. Many sinners talk, as if they supposed God might have administered his governments, both moral, and providential, in a manner vastly more judicious, and more highly calculated to secure perfection in the conduct of his subjects. They seem to think, that because God is almighty, he therefore can work any conceivable absurdity, or contradiction. That he can secure perfection in moral agents, by the exercise physical omnipotence; and that the existence of sin in our world, is proof conclusive, that, although on some accounts, he is opposed to sin, yet upon the whole, he prefers its existence to holiness in its stead. They seem to take it for granted, that the two governments which God exercises over the universe, moral, and providential; might have been so administered, as to have produced universal holiness throughout the universe. But this is a gratuitous, and most wicked assumption. It is no fair inference from the omnipotence and omniscience of God; and the assumption is founded upon an erroneous view of the nature of moral agency, and of moral government. Again. There is no just cause for hatred, in any thing that belongs to the character of God. There is nothing hateful or repellant to any just mind, in any view that can be taken of the character of Jehovah. But on the contrary, his character comprehends every conceivable, or possible excellence. Again. There is no just cause for hatred, in the conduct of God. There is no inconsistency, between his conduct, and his professions. Some people seem to have conceived of God, as a sly, artful, hypocritical being, who says one thing, and means another. Who professes great abhorrence of sin, yet so conducts himself, and the affairs of his kingdom, as necessarily and purposefully to produce it. Who commands men to keep his law, on pain of eternal death, and after all, prefers that they should break it. Who commands all men to repent, and believe the Gospel, yet has made atonement but for the elect. Who, while he requires them to repent, has so constituted them, that he knows they are unable to repent; professes greatly to desire the salvation of all men, and yet has suspended their salvation upon impossible conditions. Indeed, many seem to represent the conduct, and professions of God, at everlasting variance with each other; and as making up a complicated tissue, of contradiction, absurdity, and hypocrisy. But all such representations, are a libel upon his infinitely fair and upright conduct. Again. There is nothing unkind, or unnecessarily severe, in the conduct of God, towards the inhabitants of this world. There has been a great deal of complaint of his conduct, among sinners; they have often complained of the injustice of his dealings, and have sometimes inquired, what they had done, that he should chastise them with such severity. But all such complainings only prove their own perverseness, and can never fasten any just suspicion upon the conduct of God. II. Sinners do hate God, because they are supremely selfish; and he is, as he ought to be, infinitely opposed to their supreme object of pursuit. The first thing that we discover, in the conduct of little children, is, the desire of self-gratification. At what period of their existence, their desire becomes selfishness, it is impossible for us to say. That a proper desire to gratify an appetite for food, and drink, and all our constitutional appetites, is not sinful, is manifest. These appetites, have no moral character; and their proper indulgence, is not sinful. But whenever their indulgence is inordinate, or whenever the indulgence of our appetites, comes in collision with the requirements of God; whenever, and wherever we indulge our constitutional propensities, when we are under an obligation to abstain from an indulgence, in every such case, we sin; for in all these cases we are selfish; we make our own indulgence, the rule of our duty, instead of the requirement of God. We consent to indulge ourselves, at the public expense, and in a way that is inconsistent with the glory of God, and the highest good of his universe. This is the essence, and the history of all sin. Now, at whatever period of our existence, we first prefer self-gratification, to our duty to God, when we first make self-gratification the supreme object of choice; at what particular moment self-gratification comes to be the ruling principle of our conduct, and the highest aim of our lives, it is perhaps impossible for us to determine. But whenever this may be, this is the commencement of our depravity. It is our first moral act. It constitutes our first moral character. Every thing, that has preceded this, has had no moral character at all. The Bible assures us, that this occurs so early in our history, that it may be said, that "the wicked are estranged from the womb. That they go astray, as soon as they be born, speaking lies." This language is not, of course, to be understood literally, because we do not speak at all, as soon as we are born: but the wicked speak lies, as soon as they do speak. Behold, says the Psalmist, "I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." This language also, is certainly figurative; for it cannot be possible, that the substance of a conceived fetus should be sin! This would contradict God's own definition of sin. He says, "sin is a transgression of the law;" but the law prescribes a rule of action, and not a mode of existence. If the substance of a conceived fetus is sin: if the child itself, previous to birth, is a sin, than God has committed it. All that can possibly be meant, by this, and similar passages without making utter nonsense of the word of God; without arraying different passages in everlasting contradiction to each other, is, that we were always sinners from the commencement of our moral existence. From the earliest moment of the exercise of moral agency. And to insist upon the literal understanding of such passages as these, is the most dangerous perversion of the Bible. Adopt the principle of interpretation, that insists upon these passages being understood literally, and apply it, in the exposition of the whole Bible, and you will prove, not only that sin and holiness, are substances, but that God is, a material being. Indeed, here has been the great error, on the subject of depravity. This grand rule of interpretation, that all language is to be understood, according to the nature of the subject to which it is applied, has been overlooked, and the same meaning has often been attached to the same word, whether applied to matter, or to mind. For instance, to set aside God's definition of sin, as consisting entirely in the transgression of law, and bring in those figurative expressions, that would seem, unexplained by God's own definition, to represent sin, as consisting in something else, than voluntary transgression; is to array the Scripture in irreconcilable contradiction to itself, by overlooking one of the most important rules of Biblical interpretation. It is to trifle with the word of God. It is tempting the Holy Ghost. It is a stupid, not to say a willful perversion of the truth of God. Now, the great reason why sinners are opposed to God, is not, that there is any defect in their nature, rendering their opposition physically necessary, but because he is irreconcilably opposed to their selfishness. He is infinitely opposed to the supreme end of their pursuit, that is, to their obtaining happiness, in a way, that is inconsistent with HIS glory, and the happiness of other beings. The supreme end, at which they aim, is to promote their own happiness, in a way that is inconsistent with the public good. To this he is infinitely opposed. As they have an unholy end, in view, the means which they use , to accomplish this end, are, of course, as wicked as the end. God is therefore, as much opposed to the means, which they use, as to the end, which they are endeavoring to accomplish by those means. These means make up the history of their lives. They are all designed, directly, or indirectly, to affect the all absorbing object, at which the sinner aims; the promotion of his own happiness. God is therefore, as he ought to be, sincerely and conscientiously, and infinitely opposed to every thing they do or say, while in a state of impenitency. They would make every thing subordinate to their own private interests. He insists upon it, that they shall seek their happiness, in a way that is consistent with, and calculated to promote the happiness of the whole. This is after all the only way in which, in the very nature of things they can be happy. He accordingly sets himself with full purpose of heart, to defeat every attempt which they make to obtain happiness in their own way. He is the irreconcilable adversary of all their selfish schemes. He embitters every cup of selfish joy, "turns their" selfish "council headlong; and brings down their violent dealing upon their own pate." Thus you see that sinners hate God, because he is so holy. While they remain selfish, and he is infinitely benevolent, their characters, their designs, their desires, and all their ways are diametrically opposed to his, and his to theirs. They are direct opposites; and until they change, it will always be true as he has said, "I loathe them, and they abhor me." Holiness, is a regard to right. God requires upon infinite penalties, that every moral being in the universe should do and feel and say, that which is perfectly right; less than this, he cannot require without injustice. But sinners are unwilling to do right. They would be at liberty to consult their own private interest in every thing, and they of course consider God as an enemy, because he insists upon their unqualified obedience to the law of right, however perfectly it counteracts their selfish schemes. Again. Sinners hate God because he is so good. He is good and does good, and moves on in the promotion of the public interest in a way that often overturns and scatters to the winds, all their selfish projects and Babel-towers upon which they are attempting to climb to heaven. His heart is so set upon doing good, that in the prosecution of his great design, he has often overthrown families and nations that stood in his way; and once, he overwhelmed a world of sinners in a flood to prevent their mischief, and bring the world back into such a state, that, through the introduction of the law and Gospel, he might reclaim mankind, and save a multitude from hell. Again. Sinners hate God, because he is impartial. They view their own interest as of supreme importance, and are laying themselves out to make everything in the universe bend to it. They would have the weather, the winds, and the whole material and moral universe, conform to the great object they have in view, to consummate and perpetuate their own happiness. But as God has an end in view entirely diverse from theirs; as his object is to promote the general happiness, and the happiness of individuals, only so far as is consistent with the happiness and rights of other beings, he continually thwarts them in their favorite projects. The very elements of the material universe, are so arranged and governed, as often to make shipwreck of their fondest hopes, and annihilate for even their most fondly cherished expectations. But this is not all. Sinners hate God because he threatens to punish them for their sins. He will not compromise with them; he insists upon their obedience, or their damnation. He requests their repentance and reformation, or the everlasting destruction of their souls. Now, either alternative is supremely hateful to an impenitent sinner. To repent, heartily to confess that God is right, and he is wrong; to take God's part against himself; to give up the pursuit of his own happiness, as the supreme object of desire; to dedicate himself with all he is and has to the service of God and the promotion of the public interest; is what he is utterly unwilling to do; and inasmuch as God insists upon it, will make no compromise, but demands unqualified and unconditional submission to his will, or the eternal damnation of his soul; the sinner is entirely unreconciled to either. He considers God as his infinite and almighty adversary, and makes war upon him with all his heart. III. I am to show, that sinners hate God for the very reasons for which they ought to love him. They are the very reasons for which all holy beings do love him. His opposition to all sin, and to all injurious conduct of every kind; his high regard to individual, and general happiness; and in short, all the reasons for which selfish beings are so much opposed to him, are the foundation of obligation to love him, and are the reasons why reasonable beings, that have any regard to the moral fitness of things, feel it right, and infinitely obligatory in them, to love their Maker. He deserves to be loved for these reasons, and for no other. And it is for these, and no other reasons that sinners hate him. They do not hate him because he deserves their hatred, but because he deserves their love. It is not because he is wicked, but because he is good. It is not because they have any good reason to hate him, but because they have every possible reason to love him. I mean just as I say. Sinners not only hate God, in spite of infinitely strong reasons for loving him; but for these very reasons. Not only is it true, that these reasons for loving him do not prevent their hating him, but they are the very reasons for which they hate him. I shall conclude this discourse with several remarks. 1st. From this subject you can see the ridiculous hypocrisy of infidels. It is very common for them to profess in their investigations and inquiries after truth, to be impartial. They insist upon it that Christians are already committed, and are therefore incapable of giving Christianity a candid and unbiased examination. Christians, they say, cannot make up a judgment to be relied upon, because they are already committed in favor of Christianity. But infidels seem to suppose that they are in circumstances to make up an unbiased and enlightened judgment; and to examine and decide without prejudice. But this is utterly absurd. They are not on neutral ground, as they suppose themselves to be. They are committed against the Bible. That they are the enemies of God, is demonstrated by their conduct, entirely irrespective of the Bible. That their lives are such as no good being can approve; such as God if he is holy must abhor, is a plain matter of fact. It needs no Bible to prove this. Now, here is a book claiming to be a revelation from God, demanding of them holiness of heart and life; and threatening them for their sins with eternal death. Now, is it not absurd? Is it not ridiculous and hypocritical, for these enemies of God, committed as they are against God, and against this revelation; to set themselves up as the only impartial judges? They can sit down to the investigation of the subject without bias. They are on neutral ground. They feel no such prepossessions as to misguide their judgment. The fact is; admitting that Christians are as much prejudiced in favor of Christianity, as infidels say they are; still, unless infidels will admit that Christians are perfect, that they are wholly sinless, and entirely devoted to God; it will appear after all, that Christians are not so liable to be prejudiced in favor of Christianity, as infidels are against it. Infidels are entirely opposed to God, and all impenitent sinners, as I have shown in the two former discourses, are totally depraved; and until Christians are entirely perfect, they will not be so completely biased in favor of God, as sinners are in favor of the devil. They will not until then of course, be so liable to misjudge in favor of the Bible, as sinners will be against it. Christians, being upon the whole in favor of God, and therefore feeling a strong attachment to the Bible, and yet, having much remaining sin about them; and therefore liable to feel many objections to the strictness of its claims; are in the best circumstances, and in the most favorable state of mind of any beings in the world, to judge impartially. They are not so wicked as to reject what they see to be true, nor so obsequiously disposed, as blindly to submit to every thing that pretends to have a claim upon their obedience without investigation. By this I do not mean that Christians are better qualified to judge of the truth of the Christian religion, than if they were perfect; but I do mean to repel the absurd assertions of infidels, that the Christian's faith, is nothing more than a blind credulity. There never was at any time, piety enough in the church, to bear the restraints of pure Christianity, if the evidence in its favor, did not come upon them, with the power of demonstration. 2nd. From this subject you can see, that the wicked conduct of sinners is no proof that their nature is sinful.The universal sinfulness of men, has been supposed to conduct to the inevitable conclusion, that the nature of man must be in itself sinful. It has been said that in no other way, can the universal sinful conduct of men, be accounted for. It has been maintained, that an effect must be of the same nature of its cause; and that as the effects or actions of our nature are universally sinful, that therefore the nature or cause must be sinful. But if the effect must be of the same nature of its cause, if the cause must have the same nature of the effect, then God must be a material being, for he is the cause of the existence of all matter, and therefore he must himself be material. The soul of man must also be material. It acts upon his material body, and causes his body to act upon other material things around him, and as it is constantly effecting material changes on every hand, the soul must be material. This would, indeed, be a short hand method of disposing of the existence of all spirits. But who will after all admit of this mode of argumentation, and adopt as a serious and grave truth, the absurd dogma that the character of an effect, decides in all cases the character or nature of its cause. The universally sinful conduct of men is easily and naturally accounted for, upon the principles of this discourse. They universally adopt in the outset, the principle of selfishness as their grand rule of action, and this from the very laws of their mental constitution, vitiates all their moral conduct, and gives a sinful character to every moral action. If it be asked how it happens that children universally adopt the principle of selfishness, unless their nature is sinful. I answer, that they adopt this principle of self gratification or selfishness; because they possess human nature, and come into being under the peculiar circumstances in which all the children of Adam are born since the fall: but not because human nature is itself sinful. The cause of their becoming sinners, is to be found in their nature's being what it is, and surrounded by the peculiar circumstances of temptation to which they are exposed in a world of sinners. All the constitutional appetites and propensities of body and mind, are in themselves innocent; but when strongly excited are a powerful temptation to prohibited indulgence. To these constitutional appetites or propensities, so many appeals of temptation are made, as universally to lead human beings to sin. Adam was created in the perfection of manhood, certainly not with a sinful nature, and yet, an appeal to his innocent constitutional appetites led him into sin. If adult Adam, without a sinful nature, and after a season of obedience and perfect holiness, was led to change his mind by an appeal to his innocent constitutional propensities; how can the fact that infants, possessing the same nature with Adam and surrounded by circumstances of still greater temptation, universally fall into sin, prove that their nature is itself sinful? Is such an inference called for? Is it legitimate? What, holy and adult Adam, is led, by an appeal to his innocent constitution to adopt the principle of selfishness, and no suspicion is, or can be entertained, that he had a sinful nature; but if little children under circumstances of temptation aggravated by the fall are led into sin, we are to believe that their nature is sinful! This is wonderful philosophy; and what heightens the absurdity is, that in order to admit the sinfulness of nature, we must believe sin to consist in the substance of the constitution, instead of voluntary action; which is a thing impossible. And that which stamps the inference of a sinful nature with peculiar guilt is, that in making it we reject God's own declaration that "sin is a transgression of the law," and adopt a definition which is a perfectly absurd. 3rd. From the view of depravity presented in these discussions, it is easy to see in what sense sin is natural to sinners; and what has led mankind to ascribe the outbreakings of sin to their nature; as if their nature was itself sinful. All experience shows, that from the laws of our constitution we are influenced in our conduct directly or indirectly by the supreme preference of our minds. In other words, when we desire a thing supremely, it is natural to us to pursue this object of desire; we may have desires for an object which we do not pursue. But it is a contradiction to say that we do not pursue the object of supreme desire. Supreme desire is nothing else than a supreme or controlling choice, and as certain as the will controls the actions; so certainly, and so naturally, shall we pursue that object which we supremely desire. The fact therefore, that sinners adopt the principle of supreme selfishness, renders it certain and natural, while their selfishness continues to be predominant, that they will sin, and only sin, and this is in strict accordance with, or rather the result of the laws of their mental constitution. While they maintain their supreme selfishness, obedience is impossible. This is the reason why "the carnal mind, or the minding of the flesh, is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be." No wonder therefore, that sinners, whose supreme preference is selfish, should find it very natural for them to sin, and extremely difficult to do anything else than sin. This being a fact of universal observation, has led mankind to ascribe the sins of men to their nature; and a great deal of fault has been found with nature itself; when the fact is, that sin is only an abuse of the powers of nature. Men have very extensively overlooked the fact; that a deep seated, but voluntary preference for sin, was the foundation and fountain and cause of all other sins. The only sense in which sin is natural to men is, that it is natural for mind to be influenced in its individual exercises by a supreme preference or choice of any object. It will therefore, always be natural for a sinner to sin, until he changes the supreme preference of his mind, and prefers the glory of God and the interests of his kingdom to his own separate and opposing interests. 4th. Here you can see what a change of heart is. Its nature, its necessity, and the obligation of the sinner immediately to change it. You can see also that the first act which the sinner will, or can perform, that can be acceptable to God, must be to change his heart, or the supreme controlling preference of his mind. 5th. Perhaps someone will object and say if infants are not born with a sinful nature, how then are they saved by grace? But I ask in return, if they are born with a sinful nature, how are they saved by grace? Does God create an infant a sinner, and then call it grace to save him from the sinfulness of a nature of his own creation? Absurd and blasphemous. What! represent the ever blessed God as either directly creating a sinful nature, or as establishing such an order of things that a nature in itself sinful would by physical necessity descend from Adam, and then call that grace by which the infant is saved! (not from its conduct, but from its nature!) But let us look at this. Here are two systems; the one maintains that infants have no moral character at all, until they have committed actual transgression. That their first moral actions are invariably sinful, but that previous to moral action they are neither sinful nor holy. That as they have no moral character they deserve neither praise nor blame; neither life nor death at the hand of God. God might annihilate them without injustice, or he may bestow upon them eternal life as a free and unearned gift. The other system maintains that infants have a sinful nature which they have inherited from Adam. The scriptures maintain that all who are ever saved of the human family, must be saved by grace; and those who maintain the system that the nature of infants is itself sinful, suppose that upon their system alone is it possible to ascribe the salvation of infants, who die before actual transgression to grace. But let us for a few moments examine these systems. Grace is evidently used in different senses in the Bible. It is sometimes synonymous with holiness. To grow in grace, is to grow in holiness. Its most common import seems to be that of unmerited favor. It is sometimes used in a wider sense, and includes the idea of mercy or forgiveness. Now, when infants die previous to actual transgression, it is impossible to ascribe their salvation to grace, in any other sense, than that of undeserved, or unearned favor. If they have never sinned, it is impossible that they should be saved by grace, if we include in the term grace, the idea of mercy or forgiveness. To assert that a child can be pardoned for having a sinful nature, is to talk ridiculous nonsense: and it is only in the sense of undeserved favor, excluding the idea of mercy or pardon, that an infant, dying before actual transgression, can be said to be saved by grace. In this sense, his salvation is by grace. He has never earned eternal life; he has never done anything, by which he has laid God under any obligation to save him, and God might, without any injustice, annihilate him. But if it please him for the sake of Christ, as I fully believe it does, to confer eternal life upon one whom he might without any injustice annihilate, it is conferring upon him infinite favor. But let us look at the other system for a moment. This denies that infants have a sinful nature, and rejects the monstrous dogma that God has created the nature sinful, and then pretends to save the infant from a nature of his own creation by grace, as if the infant deserved damnation for being what God made it. Those that hold this scheme insist that there is as much grace in the salvation of infants, upon their view of the subject, as upon the impossible dogma of a sinful nature. The fact is, that the very existence of the whole race of man, is a mere matter of grace; having reference to the atonement of Jesus Christ. Had it not been for the contemplated atonement, Adam and Eve would have been sent to hell at once, and never have had any posterity. The race could never have existed. There never could have been any infants, or adults (Adam and Eve excepted,) had it not been for the grace of Christ in interposing in behalf of man by his atonement. it was doubtless in anticipation of this, and on account of it, that Adam and Eve were spared and the sentence of the law not instantly executed upon them. Now every infant owes its very existence to the grace of God in Jesus Christ, and if it dies previous to actual transgression, it is just as absolutely indebted to Christ for eternal life, as if it had been the greatest sinner on earth. On neither of these schemes, does the grace which saves infants include the idea of pardon - but on both of them they are saved by grace, inasmuch as they owe their very existence to the atonement of Christ; and in both cases are delivered from circumstances under which it is certain had they lived to form a moral character, they would have sinned, and deserved eternal death. To think, therefore, of objecting to the view of depravity that I have given in these discourses, that it denies the grace of God in the salvation of infants, is either to misconceive, or willfully to misrepresent the sentiments that I have advocated. I desire to ask, and I wish that it may be answered, if it can be; wherein there is any more grace displayed in the salvation of infants, upon the one system than upon the other. Will it be said that if the nature of infants be sinful, grace must change their nature, and that there is this difference; that although in neither case does the infant need a pardon, yet in the one case his nature needs to be changed, and not in the other? But if his nature needs to be changed. I deny that this is an act of grace; if God has made his nature wrong and incapable of performing any but sinful actions, he is bound to change it. It is consummate trifling to call this grace - to cause a being to come into existence with a sinful or defective nature and then call it grace to alter this nature and make it as it should have been at first, is to trifle with serious things and talk deceitfully for God. 6th. Again. The hatred of sinners is cruel. It is as God says, "rendering hatred for his love." He is love, and this is the reason and the only reason why they hate him. Mark, it is not because they overlook the fact that he is infinitely benevolent. It is not merely in the face of this fact, that for other reasons they hate him; but it is because of this fact. It is literally and absolutely rendering hatred for his love. He is opposed to their injuring each other. He desires their happiness and is infinitely opposed to their making themselves miserable. He is infinitely more opposed to their doing any thing that will prove injurious to themselves, than an earthly parent was to that course of conduct in his beloved child, which he foresaw would ruin him. His heart yearns with infinitely more than parental tenderness. He expostulates with sinners and says, "O do not that abominable thing that I hate." "How shall I give thee up Ephriam? How shall I deliver thee Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, and my repentings are kindled together." He feels all the gushings of a father's tenderness, and all the opposition of a father to any course that will injure his offspring, and as children will sometimes hate, and revile their parents for opposing their wayward courses to destruction, so sinners hate God, more than they hate all other beings, because he is infinitely more opposed to their destroying their souls. 7th. The better God is, the more sinners hate him. The better he is, the more he is opposed to their selfishness: and the more he opposes their selfishness, while they remain selfish, the more they are provoked with him. In my second discourse on depravity, I showed that men hate God supremely. The only reason is because his excellence is supreme excellence. His goodness is unmingled goodness, and therefore their hatred is unmingled enmity. If there were any defect in his character, men would not hate him so much. If God were not perfectly ,yea infinitely good, men might not be totally depraved, I mean, they might not be totally opposed to his character; but because his character has no blemish, therefore they sincerely, cordially, and perfectly hate him. 8th. Again. The more he tries to do them good, while they remain impenitent, the more they will hate him. While they retain their selfishness, all his efforts to restrain it, to hedge them in, to prevent the accomplishment of their selfish desires; the more he interposes to tear away their idols; to wean them from the world, the more he embitters every cup of joy with which they attempt to satisfy themselves, the more means he uses to reclaim, and sanctify and save; if their selfishness remain unbroken, the more deeply and eternally will they hate him. 9th. This conduct in sinners is infinitely blame worthy and deserves eternal death. It is impossible to conceive of guilt more deep and damning than that of sinners under the Gospel. They sin under circumstances so peculiar, than their guilt is more aggravated than that of devils. Devils have broken the law and so have you sinners. But devils never rejected the Gospel. They have been guilty of rebellion and so have you. But they have never rejected the offer of pardon and spurned, as with their feet, the offer of eternal life through the atoning blood of the Son of God. If you sinners do not deserve eternal death, I cannot conceive that there is a devil in hell that deserves it. And yet, strange to tell, sinners often speak as if it were doubtful whether they deserve to be damned. 10th. It is easy to see from this subject, that saints and angels will be entirely satisfied with the justice of God in the damnation of sinners. They will never take delight in the misery of the damned, but in the display of justice, in the vindication of his insulted majesty and injured honor, in the respect which punishment will create for the law and character of God, they will have pleasure; they will see that the display of his justice is glorious, and will cry halleluiah, while "the smoke of their torment shall ascend up for ever and ever."

Do You Know Madalyn Murray O’Hair was Not an Atheist! That's right, Madalyn O'Hair was NOT an atheist! Shocked? An atheist by definition is: Someone who denies the existence of God. From O'Hair's own statements, it is clear that she DID believe in God, very much so, and she hated Him with a passion... "We find God to be sadistic, brutal and a representation of hatred." SOURCE: THE ATHEIST, by Bryan F. LeBeau, pg. 85 (a response from the self-announced "Maryland Atheist" to a Life magazine editorial) You can't express utter contempt for a God Who doesn't exist. Madalyn O'Hair hated God and the Bible. It's irrefutable evidence against any professed "atheist" who curses in God's name, talks about how much they hate God, and spends their life attacking a Person that allegedly "doesn't exist." No one hates God as much as professed "atheists." Madalyn Murray O'Hair was no atheist. Her very hatred for God manifested her belief in God. Madalyn O'Hair was consumed with hatred and anger against a God that she claimed didn't exist. Madalyn O'Hair: The Monster Madalyn's eldest son, William (now an evangelist), said this of his mother in his testimony... "I was born into a home of near constant rage and violence. As a result of my mother's constant angry outbursts, she could not hold down a job. She, my brother and I, lived with her parents and my unmarried uncle. My grandfather had never filed an income tax return and most of what he did do during his life was illegal or ill advised. My grandmother read Tarot cards and sent out demons by burning human hair. My uncle kept hoards of pornography in his room and my mother filled the house with statues of mating animals which she worshipped." SOURCE: http://www.wjmurray.com If anyone is sadistic, brutal and hateful, it was "Mad Madalyn." William J. Murray further states concerning his mother… Madalyn Murray O'Hair - She intensely hated a God that she claimed didn't exist. O'Hair was NO atheist!“When I was a young boy of ten or eleven years old she would come home and brag about spending the day in X-rated movie theaters in downtown Baltimore...” “My mother delighted in hiring unrepentant criminals to work in her atheist office. She particularly enjoyed hiring convicted murderers who had served their time but were unrepentant about what they had done...” “My mother was an evil person ... Not for removing prayer from America's schools ... No ... She was just evil. She stole huge amounts of money. She misused the trust of people. She cheated children out of their parents' inheritance. She cheated on her taxes and even stole from her own organizations. She once printed up phony stock certificates on her own printing press to try to take over another atheist publishing company. I could go on but I won't. All the money my mother made in this manner stayed behind. It did not go with her. 'For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out’” (1st Timothy 6:7). “My mother simply believed, 'Do what thou wilt shall be the only law.’” SOURCE: http://www.wjmurray.com "Mad Madalyn" lived out her professed atheism. No atheist should be ashamed of her and her profane life and words, for she was the epitome of every professed "atheist." She lived a reckless life of self-indulgence, wickedness and rebellion against the God of the Bible. No one curses God more than professed atheists. Truthfully, there is NO such thing as a genuine atheist, only wannabes, i.e., people who prefer to live as if there is no God in their unrepentant minds. Ultimately, O'Hair's bad company brought her own tragic demise and that of her precious family... "The dismembered bodies of Madalyn Murray O’Hair, Jon Murray and Robin Murray were found in January of 2000 in Camp Wood, Texas. One of the killers, David Waters, led the authorities to the site in return for a guarantee he would serve his time in a Federal rather than in a Texas state prison. He died of prison of liver decease in 2003. A second killer was sentenced to live in prison." SOURCE: http://www.wjmurray.com Madalyn liked hiring unrepentant, convicted felons — disobedient, lawless, reprobate persons — and one of them ending up stealing $54,000 from her and killing her. Her Mercedes, her mansion, and her fine liquor took her down that Highway to Hell way that so many people foolishly choose to go down. Madalyn Murray O'Hair is America! The following quote from William J. O'Hair is an indictment against America as a nation... "In reality my mother did not create the times, the times created her. She was what America was about in the sixties and seventies. There were several cases going to the Supreme Court to remove prayer. Her case just got there first. The left-wing Court of the day wanted prayer out of the schools and to allow abortion on demand. They virtually were advertising for cases to change America. But my mother saw the secular and sexual turn in America as centered around her." [Emphasis added] SOURCE: http://www.wjmurray.com Mr. O'Hair is correct... his mother simply embodied the spiritual condition of an entire nation during the sixties and seventies. Madalyn Murray O'Hair is America!!! Look at America today! Murdering little children is LEGAL. Casino gambling is LEGAL. Producing, selling and viewing pornography is LEGAL. Getting drunk is LEGAL. Fornication is LEGAL. Homosexuality is LEGAL. Even more representative of America is Miss USA, Tara Conner, who is a superb representative of American women today. She will continue wearing her crown, as the epitome of her country's lack of morals. It shouldn't be a surprise. American women are responsible for murdering nearly 50,000,000 babies by abortion!!! This is because of the wicked fornication in America, which has produced tens-of-millions of unwanted children. Worldly music, TV, and feminism are MUCH to blame for this corruption of America's morals. Can you image... fifty million people are not here today in the U.S. because they were murdered by their mothers! It's the reckless boozing and wild partying lifestyle which has fueled the abortion industry. Tara Conner is a good representative of that evil. Yes, she truly is Miss USA! Conclusion Madalyn Murray O'Hair, by her own expressed hatred for God, clearly evidenced that she believed in God. Her pathetic life is a sad account of evil and bitter hatred. She died a horrible death at the hands of one of her own kind. Sadly, Madalyn is most likely burning in the fires of Hell this moment; but her son made a wonderful statement that I want to share with you... "Christ is there for the vilest offender. The serial killer whose prayer at the hour of his death is genuine is also forgiven." SOURCE: http://www.wjmurray.com Amen! That is absolutely true. God will forgive anybody. There is always hope in Jesus Christ! Consider the solemn words of the mighty preacher, Charles Spurgeon... "I know that when you are dying you will believe in a hell. Conscience makes cowards of us all, and makes us believe, even when we say we do not, that God must punish sin." SOURCE: Charles Spurgeon, sermon entitled, TURN OR BURN, preached December 7, 1856, at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens (Note: some false teachers have tried to use this particular sermon by Spurgeon to teach Lordship Salvation; but by careful consideration of the word "renunciation," it is clear Spurgeon wasn't). “...the God in whose hand THY BREATH IS, and whose are all thy ways, HAST THOU NOT GLORIFIED” (Daniel 5:23).

Why I Left Freemasonry! By Evangelist Charles G. Finney, D.D. (1792-1875) Introduction: "No words can describe the wonderful joy that was shed abroad in my heart. I wept aloud with joy and love. The waves came over me and over me, one after another, until I cried out, 'I shall die if these waves continue to pass over me. Lord, I cannot bear any more." -Finney's description of his filling with the Holy Spirit on the day of his conversion" Charles Finney was born in Connecticut to an ordinary family and life that gave little hint of the great things God had in store for him. He was a schoolteacher and then a lawyer before his conversion at age 29. Finney was filled with the Holy Spirit on the same day he was saved and immediately began witnessing to friends and family members. More than twenty people were saved in the 24 hours following Finney's conversion. Finney's personal evangelism soon became public evangelism as he began to travel and preach in extended revival meetings. He considered revival to be a natural result of following the instructions God had laid out in His Word. During Finney's fifty years of preaching, more than 500,000 were saved. He wrote many books, the most enduring of which are The Autobiography of Charles Finney and Lectures on Revival of Religion. After ill health forced him to stop traveling in meetings, he accepted the pastorate of a church in New York City. From 1852 until 1866 he served as president of Oberlin College in Ohio. Although some of his theology was lacking, he was a powerful, Spirit-filled soul winner who brought revival to cities and towns across the eastern United States. -SOURCE (Sword of the Lord) Why I Left Freemasonry By Charles G. Finney When I was converted to Christ I had belonged to the Masonic Lodge in Adams, New York, about four years. During the struggle of conviction of sin through which I passed, I do not recollect that the question of Freemasonry ever occurred to my mind. New Views of Lodgism But soon after my conversion, the evening came for attendance upon the Lodge, and I went. They, of course, were aware that I had become a Christian and the Master called upon me to open the Lodge with prayer. I did so, and poured out my heart to the Lord for blessings upon the Lodge. I observed that it created considerable excitement. The evening passed away, and at the close of the Lodge I was asked to pray again. I did so, and retired much depressed in spirit. I soon found that I was completely converted from Freemasonry to Christ, and that I could have no fellowship with any of the proceedings of the Lodge. Its oaths appeared to me to be monstrously profane and barbarous. At that time I did not know how much I had been imposed upon by many of the pretensions of Masonry. But, upon reflection and examination, a severe struggle and earnest prayer, I found I could not consistently remain with them. My new life instinctively and irresistibly recoiled from any fellowship with what I now regarded as "the unfruitful works of darkness." Quietly Withdrawing Membership Without consulting anyone, I finally went to the Lodge and requested my discharge. My mind was made up. Withdraw from them I must -- with their consent if I might; without this consent if I must. Of this I said nothing; but somehow it came to be known that I had withdrawn. They therefore planned a Masonic festival and sent a committee to me, requesting me to deliver an oration on that occasion. I quietly declined to do so, informing the committee that I could not conscientiously, in any wise, do what would show my approval of the institution, or sympathy with it. However, for the time, and for years afterward I remained silent, and said nothing against Masonry; though I had then so well considered the matter as to regard my Masonic oaths as utterly null and void. But from that time I never allowed myself to be recognized as a Freemason anywhere. Beginning a Public Testimony This was a few years before the revelations of Freemasonry by Captain William Morgan were published. When that book was published, I was asked if it was a true revelation of Freemasonry. I replied that it was so far as I knew anything about it, and that as nearly as I could recollect, it was a verbatim revelation of the first three degrees as I had myself taken them. I frankly acknowledged that that which had been published was a true account of the institution, and a true expose' of their oaths, principles and proceedings. After I had considered it more thoroughly, I was more perfectly convinced that I had no right to adhere to the institution, or appear to do so; and that I was bound, whenever the occasion came, to speak my mind freely in regard to it, and to renounce the horrid oaths that I had taken. Masonic Oaths Procured by Fraud I found that in taking these oaths I had been grossly deceived and imposed upon. I had been led to suppose that there were some very important secrets to be communicated to me; but in this I found myself entirely disappointed. Indeed I came to the deliberate conclusion that my oaths had been procured by fraud and misrepresentations; that the institution was in no respect what I had been informed it was; and as I have had the means of examining it more thoroughly, it has become more and more irresistibly plain to me that Masonry is highly dangerous to the State, and in every way injurious to the Church of Christ. Features of an Anti-Christ Judging from unquestionable evidences, how can we fail to pronounce Freemasonry an unchristian institution? We can see that its morality is unchristian. Its oath-bound secrecy is unchristian. The administration and taking of its oaths are unchristian and a violation of the positive command of Christ. And Masonic oaths pledge its members to some of the most unlawful and unchristian things: To conceal each other's crimes. To deliver each other from difficulty, whether right or wrong. To unduly favor Masonry in political action and in business matters. Its members are sworn to retaliate and persecute unto death the violators of Masonic obligations. Freemasonry knows no mercy, and swears its candidates to avenge violations of Masonic obligations unto death. Its oaths are profane, taking the Name of God in vain. The penalties of these oaths are barbarous, even savage. Its teachings are false and profane. Its designs are partial and selfish. Its ceremonies are a mixture of puerility and profanity. Its religion is false. It professes to save men on other conditions than those revealed in the Gospel of Christ. It is wholly an enormous falsehood. It is a swindle, obtaining money from its members under false pretenses. It refuses all examinations, and veils itself under a mantle of oath-bound secrecy. It is virtual conspiracy against both Church and State. Some Fair Conclusions No one, therefore, has ever undertaken to defend Freemasonry as judged by the above. Freemasons themselves do not pretend that their institution as revealed in reliable books, and by some of their own testimony, is compatible with Christianity. So it must follow that, First, the Christian Church should have no fellowship with Freemasonry; and those who adhere intelligently and determinately to such an institution have no right to be in the Christian Church. We pronounce this judgment sorrowfully, but solemnly. Second, should the question be asked, "What shall be done with the great number of professed Christians who are Freemasons?" I answer, let them have nothing more to do with it. Let it be distinctly pressed upon their consciences that all Masons, above the first two Degrees, have solemnly sworn to conceal each other's crimes, murder and treason alone excepted; and that all above the sixth Degree have sworn to espouse each other's cause, and to deliver them from any difficulty, whether right or wrong. Third, if they have taken those Degrees where they have sworn to persecute unto death those who violate their Masonic obligations, let them be asked whether they really intend to do any such thing. Let them be distinctly asked whether they intend to aid and abet the administration and taking of these oaths. Or if they still intend to countenance the false and hypocritical teachings of Masonry. Or if they mean to countenance the profanity of their ceremonies, and the partiality of their sworn practice. If so, surely they should not be allowed their place in the Christian Church. Fourth, can a man who has taken, and still adheres to the Master's oath to conceal any secret crime of a brother of that Degree, murder and treason excepted, be a safe man with whom to entrust any public office? Can he be trusted as a witness, as a juror, or with any office connected with the administration of justice? Fifth, can a man who has taken, and still adheres to, the oath of the Royal Arch Mason be trusted to public office? He swears to espouse the cause of a companion of this Degree when involved in any difficulty, so far as to extricate him, whether he be right or wrong. He swears to conceal his crimes, MURDER AND TREASON NOT EXCEPTED. Is such a man bound by such an oath to be trusted with office? Ought he to be accepted as a witness or juror when another Freemason is a party in the case? Ought he to be trusted with the office of Judge, or Justice of the Peace, or as a Sheriff, Constable, Marshal or any other office? What Is Your Answer? I appeal to your conscience in the sight of God, for an honest answer to these three questions: 1. Is any man who is under a most solemn oath to kill all who violate any part of Masonic oaths, a fit person to be at large among men? 2. Ought Freemasons of this stamp to be fellowshipped in the Christian Church? 3. Do you believe that the sins of Masonic oaths are forgiven only to those who repent? And that we do not repent of those sins to which we still adhere? And that adherence makes us also partaker of other men's sins? "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from ALL sin." "And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure" (1st John 1:17; 3:3). Reprinted from "Memoirs" of President Finney, formerly of Oberlin College.
