America's Stage 4 Moral Carcinoma

Though I'm a student of prophecy, I'm not a prophet. But I will offer this prophecy: The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is eventually going to strike down DOMA. It may not happen this year, but it's going to happen.

What is DOMA? It stands for Defense of Marriage Act and it was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996. The law declares that the United States of America defines a legal marriage strictly as the union of one man and one woman.

Therefore, under DOMA, no other form of marriage is legitimately recognized and thus protected by the U.S. Constitution. But that's about to change.

It matters more why America has reached this proverbial fork in the historical road rather than how America got to that road. We know how we got to this road. We got there because America has become a post-Judeo-Christian nation.

But the reason why we got there is because America's churches have lost their influence over the land. They have become cultural white elephants that stand more as reminders of America's distant past rather than moral beacons of light in our modern debauched and depraved times.

Travel through any large city such as Chicago and you'll see what I mean. You'll notice the contradiction; churches on almost every block sharing the same turf with violent, heavily armed gang-bangers, drug dealers, prostitutes, addicts, homeless people etc.

Why have these churches lost their influence? Because they've abandoned the Bible as the guiding moral light that contains God's transcendent laws, commandments and path to salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ. These churches have substituted the Bible with the useless social gospel that replaces Christ with government. In the context of these dead, corrupt churches, Christ has been reduced to an historical figure who's no longer relevant in the modern world.

And so, it stands to reason that when the U.S. Supreme Court is now poised to change the definition of marriage that has been clearly defined for 6,000 years as the union of a man and a woman, then the Christian Church in America is dead. Not declining or waning, but flat out dead.

Rob Bell, the former pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Michigan, has become the spokesman for America's corrupt, apostate churches. While he claims to be an "expert" on biblical teachings concerning marriage, fidelity and homosexuality, he sounds more like a secular propagandist.

Here's what he said recently regarding gay marriage: "Yes, I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man. I think the ship has sailed and I think that the church needs to just … this is the world that we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are."

 http://www.christianpost.com/news/rob-bell-supports-same-sex-marriage-says-he-is-for-fidelity-and-love-92064/#iMrpLzrcoHy6Gk0E.99

Bell claims that Christ would condone gay marriage. No, he wouldn't. Concerning the Mosaic Law that condemns homosexuality, (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13) Christ said this: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law and the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of the pen, will be any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." (Matthew 5:17-18)

No society can survive for very long without a solid moral foundation. For over 230 years, the Judeo-Christian Bible has been America's moral backbone and foundation. But now, that foundation has eroded because America's churches--which are responsible for maintaining that foundation--have become utterly worthless and corrupt. 

What follows next is moral decay, depravity and a steep decline. If America chooses to legalize gay marriage, then it will have chosen to travel down the road to its destruction. After that comes God's judgment. And if SCOTUS strikes down DOMA, America will be one step closer to its own apocalypse.

Stupid Rich Men

Michael Bloomberg

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proves that you don't have to be intelligent to be wealthy.

While many people consider Bloomberg to be a very intelligent man, he's long on ideology and book knowledge and he's extremely short on practical sense.

Like most secular-progressives, Bloomberg believes in the absolute power of big government. He truly believes that government can legislate a social utopia on earth where people will beat their Glocks and Rugers into plowshares and they will cast off their super-sized sugary soft drinks for mineral water and herbal tea.

Of course, in order for that to happen, Bloomberg needs to pass strict laws that force people to behave the way he believes they should. Bloomberg's latest initiative calls for spending $12 million through his political group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns to buy advertising in 10 states where strict gun control legislation is pending.  

Bloomberg's group wants to banish assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. However, the majority of gun homicides in America are committed by handguns rather than assault weapons. But since most people who grovel at the feet of expensive empty suits such as Bloomberg aren't very intelligent, they willingly believe whatever Bloomberg and his ilk tell them.

Such as doing away with guns will do away with murder and violence. In China, they've already done away with guns. So, back in December 2012, a homicidal nutcase by the name of Min Yingjun had to settle for a knife to murder 22 children at a Primary School located in the Henan province of Chenping.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/man-attacks-22-kids-knife-china-school-article-1.1220230

Yingjun's mass murder occurred just a week before Adam Lanza massacred 20 children and six adults on December 14, at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Lanza's murders received sensational coverage while Yingjun's massacre received scant coverage from the western media. Why? Because Lanza used a gun while Yingjun used a knife.

Murder and violence are caused by moral depravity, not by the availability of guns. The reason why progressive do-good politicians such as Michael Bloomberg target guns is because that's politically correct and it makes them look like heroes while avoiding real issues such as the declining influence of Judeo-Christian values in western society.

That's the real reason for the increase in violence, murder and depravity throughout the western world. Bloomberg and his fellow progressives can pass all the gun legislation they want, but that won't stop the violence. 

Because violence and depravity begin in the human heart, not at gun shows or gun shops. And in order for the human heart to be changed from darkness to light, the Son of God Jesus Christ must be invited to sit on the throne of human hearts. As the apostle James wrote: "Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." (James 4:7-10)

That's the real solution to end the murder and violence. A personal relationship with God through faith in His Son Jesus Christ for His death on Calvary's cross for our sins and His resurrection from the dead. That changes sinful, reprobate hearts. 

Not more empty and endless political laws passed by stupid rich men such as Michael Bloomberg.

The Son of Satan

Kermit Gosnell's chamber of death

I wouldn't want to be in Kermit Gosnell's shoes on Judgment Day. Because unless he repents of his many sins, he's going to face an angry God who's likely to throw him into the eternal lake of fire.

Who is Kermit Gosnell? He's a sadistic abortionist who has murdered thousands of babies over the past 30 years, including healthy newborns. 

Abortion is a vile, disgusting and immoral subject. It murders unborn infants that are created in the image of a Holy God. Of all the murders that are committed on this planet, abortion is the most evil of them all. Why? Because it involves human sacrifice, not unlike the human sacrifices that the ancient pagans offered to their false gods. 

The pagans often sacrificed innocent children to detestable gods such as Molech, Baal and Astarte. The modern pagans--the sexually perverse and immoral--sacrifice their unborn children to the false gods of pleasure, hedonism, nihilism, carnality and debauchery. 

In the ancient times, the Lord sternly warned the ancient Israelites never to offer their children in any pagan sacrifice, or else: "Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him. I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people; for by giving his children to Molech, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name." (Leviticus 20:2-3)

Gosnell not only profaned God's holy name, he did so while becoming obscenely rich. He would perform an abortion for any woman at his Philadelphia, Pa. clinic just as long as she had the cash. Adrienne Moton, a former employee of Gosnell's abortion Auschwitz described a newly born healthy boy that Gosnell murdered: "I just saw a big baby boy. He had that color, that color that a baby has," Moton said. "I just felt he could have had a chance. He could have been born any day.”

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2013/03/21/update-on-abortion-monster-kermit-gosnell-

n1545312

Fate finally caught up with Gosnell last year when the police showed up at his clinic to investigate several drug-related complaints. What they saw inside the clinic after they arrived made them physically ill. Police discovered "bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses scattered throughout the building...there were jars with severed feet lining shelves that he (Gosnell) kept for no medical purpose."

Gosnell was arrested and charged with seven counts of first degree murder. He is currently on trial for his heinous crimes. 

Of course, not only did he commit mass murder at his clinic, he obviously enjoyed murdering helpless infants in the process. According to Townhall news editor Katie Pavlich who is covering Gosnell's trial, Gosnell "apparently used to joke about the large size of some of the infants he aborted and in one case, according to what a co-worker told the grand jury, said, “This baby is big enough to walk around with me or walk me to the bus stop.”

And unless he repents of his despicable behavior--and soon--one of Satan's demons will eventually be walking Gosnell right into the fiery pit of hell where he belongs.

Evidence for a Real Devil

A popular but erroneous depiction

"He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language because he is a liar and the father of lies."--John 8:44

Back in 2009, a Barna Research poll revealed that only 60 percent of professing Christians actually believed in the devil. What about the other 40 percent? They viewed Satan not as "a living being but (as) a symbol of evil."
http://www.barna.org/faith-spirituality/260-most-american-christians-do-not-believe-that-satan-or-the-holy-spirit-exis?q=satan#.UUxb9MCupUo.email

Who then did Jesus Christ have a conversation with just prior to launching His ministry in Israel 2,000 years ago? A symbol of evil? Symbols of evil don't talk, but the diabolical being that Christ encountered certainly knew how to talk. And he also knew how to quote and pervert scripture.

For example, here's what this so-called "symbol of evil" said to Christ: "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." (Matthew 4:3) The "symbol of evil" was aware that Christ had fasted for 40 days prior to beginning His ministry. So he knew that Christ was hungry and he tried to tempt the Jewish Messiah to violate His fast by turning some rocks into loaves of bread. Christ replied: "It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)

In rebuking Satan, Christ quoted a scripture from Deuteronomy 8:3. The "symbol of evil" then tried and failed twice more to entice Christ into sinning before he finally gave up and left Him.

In John's Gospel, Christ referred to Satan as a real, diabolical being rather than a symbolic figure of evil that merely represented man's rebellion against God and His transcendent laws. Christ called the devil "the father of lies". (John 8:44) And Christ also referred to Satan as the spiritual father of all unrepentant sinners in the same context that he referred to Moses as the spiritual father of the Jewish people.

The Jews don't consider Moses to be a symbolic figure of their faith who never really existed. They consider him to be a real person who God revealed His laws and 10 Commandments to. Certainly, most Jews believe that Moses existed, but few believe that Satan ever existed.

And now, fewer Christians believe in Satan's existence. Is belief of Satan's existence necessary for salvation? Certainly not. But the fact that more professing Christians no longer believe in the devil's existence underscores a very serious problem within Christendom today.

And that problem is a growing apostasy within much of the church. What is apostasy? It is the rejection of historical, proven biblical truth for heretical myths and religious experiences. The church's rejection of the Bible as the infallible word of God actually began in the 19th Century when many Christian seminaries began embracing secularism while turning away from biblical truths such as the virgin birth of Christ, his crucifixion for the sin of mankind and his resurrection from the dead.

Christendom's growing rejection of Satan, described in the Bible as a fallen angel who rebelled against God provides us with another example that many people today who profess to be Christians no longer respect the Bible as the inerrant word of God.

And that's sad. If many Christians doubt the Bible's account of Satan, then it's likely that they don't take the Bible very seriously. And that shows in the ignorance displayed by many Christians toward the historical truths concerning their own faith and in their willingness to embrace false world religions such as Islam, Roman Catholicism and Rabbinic Judaism as valid paths to God and eternal life.

Big Ministers and Glass Churches

Pastor Jack Schaap

"Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless..."--Titus 1:7

Jack Schaap admits that he acted like a fool. And indeed, he did.

Who is Jack Schaap? Until recently, he was the pastor of the 15,000 member First Baptist Church located in Hammond, Indiana. Now, Schaap is a convict and that will be his title for the next 12 years after U.S. District Court Judge Rudy Lozano sentenced him to prison for having sex with an underage girl.

The girl originally came to Schaap for counseling a few years ago and she wound up being seduced into a sexual relationship by the popular pastor. The girl claims that Schaap even had the audacity to text her from his pulpit during church services. According to the girl, Schaap actually claimed that God himself had ordained the relationship and that it would be beneficial for her.

The relationship certainly didn't turn out to be beneficial for the pastor after First Baptist church officials learned of the affair and confronted Schaap with their suspicions. Schaap not only denied the affair, he tried to get rid of evidence such as pictures and text messages. He also fired a church employee who evidently found out about what was going on between Schaap and the 16-year-old girl.

But Schaap wasn't able to get rid of all the evidence and the truth finally caught up with him after police confronted him with that evidence along with the girl's statement. "Photographs taken at (Schaap’s home) feature the defendant grinning like a Cheshire cat while rubbing cheeks with the victim, and, in another shot, engaging the victim in what one witness described as a ‘very romantic lip-lock,’" prosecutors said.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-schaap-church-teen-sex-20130320,0,3000934.story

Schaap embarrassed himself, his family and he was fired from First Baptist Church after serving as its pastor for many years. 

Worse yet, Jack Schaap brought shame and embarrassment to the overall Church of Jesus Christ. His behavior reinforced the worst stereotypes about Christians in the minds of those who are already highly suspicious of Christians who openly profess Jesus Christ as Lord. 

Schaap's behavior made it that much harder for honest, hardworking pastors, missionaries and apostles to convince skeptical unbelievers that they need to repent of their sins and serve Jesus Christ as Lord. If pastors such as Jack Schaap, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart etc. aren't willing to obey Christ's teachings, then why should anybody?

Has Schaap repented of his sins? Sort of. He admits that the relationship was wrong. His wife and children have forgiven him which is indeed commendable.

But like many people today who get caught doing something wrong, Schaap tries to deflect responsibility. He blamed his behavior on prostate problems, stress and exhaustion. 

It's no wonder why Christianity has such a terrible image throughout much of the world. When church leaders such as Jack Schaap can't even take responsibility for their own sinful behavior, then Christendom has become a modern circus act with a cast of grotesque clowns such as Jack Schaap who are laughed at by the world and taken seriously only by fools.

Atheism and Delusion

Some famous atheists

"The fool says in his heart, There is no God."--Psalm 14:1

Most atheists will tell you that they don't believe in God because there's absolutely no evidence to prove his existence.

Then they'll tell you that only fools choose to believe in the biblical accounts of creation, Noah's flood, Jonah's whale and talking serpents. Of course, some birds can talk and they actually make more sense these days than most politicians do along with their media mouthpieces.

Atheists will tell you that evolution explains the existence of physical life and that Charles Darwin's dubious theory that he published in 1859 (On the Origin of Species) is settled science. 

In fact, Darwin's theory of evolution isn't settled science--it's nothing but science fiction. Not only has it never been observed to occur, it's chemically impossible, physically impossible, mathematically impossible and it violates both laws of thermodynamics. 

Though he doubted the existence of God, the famous scientist Albert Einstein debunked Darwin's theory as scientifically impossible. Einstein explained that if the physical universe was created from a primordial explosion, or Big Bang, then the intense heat from such an explosion would have destroyed all the organic material such as enzymes and proteins that are necessary for physical life.

Furthermore, Darwin's dubious theory of Natural Selection, the alleged biological process that determines which life forms survive and which don't, would never have allowed cells to develop through an evolutionary process because they wouldn't have been fit to function and survive. In order for a cell to function, it must have all the necessary bio-chemical mechanisms intact or it can't survive. 

Michael Behe, one of the world's leading microbiologists has frequently called Darwin's theory junk science that shouldn't be taught as fact because it isn't. Here's what he wrote in his famous book, Darwin's Black Box: "The cumulative evidence shows with piercing clarity that life is based on machines--machines made of molecules which are enormously complex. The complexity of life's foundation has paralyzed science's attempt to account for it. Faced with such complexity beneath simple phenomena, Darwinian theory falls silent."

Then why does evolution continue to be embraced by much of the world as factual science when it's not? Because it offers godless men the vain hope of escaping moral accountability to a Holy God for their actions. If there is no God, then no one is accountable for their actions here on earth. 

And obviously, if there's no God, then there's no divine judgment after death. If evolution is true, then life has no meaning, no design and no purpose. And even the worst of human beings such as Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin fare no worse in death than Pope John Paul II or Mother Teresa. 

And so, it takes a lot more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in God and His biblical account of creation. Because the evidence exists for God and His creation while no evidence exists to prove that evolution ever occurred. 

As the apostle Paul wrote nearly 2,000 years ago: "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (Romans 1:18-20)

When Immigration was a Dirty Word

The St. Louis in 1939

America's political elites want us to believe that the pending legislation that would offer citizenship to 11 million illegal (sorry, undocumented) aliens is simply about compassion and nothing more.

And anyone who thinks otherwise runs the risk of being labeled a bigot, racist or a xenophobe. 

Anyone who chooses to believe America's politicians and their media puppets probably suffers from an extremely low double-digit IQ. Unfortunately, many Americans fit that description as evidenced by the recent reelection of Barack Obama to a second term in the White House.

The pending immigration legislation isn't about compassion--it's about buying votes. And both of America's political parties are desperate to buy the votes of America's burgeoning Hispanic population that is currently on track to become America's ethnic majority by 2050. 

Certainly, there's nothing wrong with that. But Hispanics need to be forewarned that they shouldn't allow any political strings to be attached to their U.S. citizenship. Amnesty shouldn't come with a set of social, political and economic rules handed down by the government that tells a particular ethnic group how and where to live; how many children they can have, where they can educate their children, what kind of jobs they can do, how to think, how to worship and how to vote.

If you think that's being a bit paranoid then take a tour of any Indian reservation in the United States. Or take a tour (at your own risk) of almost any inner city neighborhood in America. Because those who allow themselves to be bought by big government invariably become hopelessly dependent upon big government for their survival.

Sadly, there was a time when America's big government political elites weren't so keen on immigration. That was in the late spring of 1939 when 937 passengers aboard the ship St. Louis that had sailed from Germany, sought asylum in Havana, Cuba. When the Cuban government refused to grant asylum, the St. Louis sailed for Florida where the passengers hoped that a more tolerant U.S. government would grant them asylum. 

America refused. President Franklin D. Roosevelt refused to allow the St. Louis to dock and unload its passengers. Instead, the ship turned around and headed back to Europe from where it came.

What was so significant about the human cargo aboard the St. Louis? They were German Jews who were attempting to flee Hitler's Holocaust. When the St. Louis was forced to return to Europe, many (not all) Jews were apprehended by the Nazis upon return and they were marched off to Hitler's death camps where they perished.

No one knows for sure why Roosevelt denied the Jews asylum. Some believe that he was anti-Semitic. Others believe that he was sympathetic to the Jews and their plight, but feared losing the vote of Southern Democrats who were vehemently racist and anti-Semitic.

Whatever Roosevelt's reason was for denying the Jews a safe haven in the United States from Hitler's hell, it left a dark stain on the history of American immigration. 

And that was a tragic time in America when immigration was synonymous with evil. Perhaps Jewish votes weren't worth very much in 1939.
