That was what everybody back then said that I wanted a .Read more…Amen (Hotep IV) The Facts __or__ Where The Heck Did That "One God" Thingy Come From
[Transcript of audio (mp3 format) work]*clap of thunder followed by eerily ethereal music*"Myriad moons ago, in the land of Pharaoh, there came to power a Being of wondrous propensities. He was called Amenhotep IV. Amenhotep IV envisioned, and then implemented, a monumental and unsurpassed addition to culture.Read more…In Defense of the Jewish People and the State of Israel
As Christians, we have to stand firmly and solidly behind the Jewish people and their state of Israel. When you put all of the verses together on the original covenant God the Father made with their first forefather, Abraham, I believe that this original covenant is still in full force and full effect to this very day.God made an original covenant and pact with the Jewish people in that He would be their God and they would be His chosen people.Read more…The Concept of Hell Does Not Pass the Smell Test; Who Thought of It and Why?
In the oxford dictionary and in the study of the creation of the oxford dictionary it is known that the word Hell is a Germanic word which was introduced into the English language well after the biblical stories and religious fictional works of Christ were created. The concept of Hell does not Pass the smell test and therefore anyone who does evil cannot go there because it does not exist; it is simply a scare tactic which uses fear to control people and it makes sense that the use of fear would be used in a religious context to manipulate the feelings and control religious followers.So who thought of the word Hell?Read more…Story of Moses is Fraudulent and Does Not Pass the Smell Test or Part the Sea
The story of Moses and a parting of the Red Sea does not Pass the smell test. Obviously it is impossible to that and therefore Moses did not do that and therefore the whole thing is the story and therefore you should not listen to it or use it as an example in any way, shape or form to propel an argument, tell a story or teach a lesson.Whereas it may make sense to tell stories or tales in order to teach someone a lesson or make a point to educate someone we should not tell to our to people or our children makeup stories and call them true when they are indeed fraudulent.Read more…Story of Jesus Christ Does Not Pass Smell Test
Religion has been a part of American society in world civilizations for as long as human history has record. But unfortunately many religions do not stand up to scrutiny, history or reality. The story of Jesus Christ does not Pass the smell test.Read more…Lessons I Learned from My Dad

WHENPeople claim that they love you, what does this really mean? When people claim they love God, what does this really mean? When people claim they are Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, what does this really mean?Read more…In the Knowledge of God
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,3. as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,4. by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.Read more…Muslim Religion Problematic
First of all I would like to state that I believe all religions are bad for humanity and they should be erased from the planet. It is inevitable that sometime in the far off future there will be no religion on the planets amongst human beings, as we will grow out of that.However currently we have many religions, which are problematic and they are busy forcing their will on large population bases.Read more…Religion and Political Correctness Killing Science
Many in academia say that religion is ruining science and preventing research and development dollars from the government from going into things like stem cell research and biotech. This may be in fact true however we also need to look at the flip side of things.For instance political correctness is forcing billions of dollars of research and development monies to go into alternative energy projects, prototypes and products at an astounding rate and this fact is causing fewer dollars to go to other things.Read more…Mestory - History Chapter Four Rascal's Spiritual Life Series & 'A Rainbow Reminder' Series Bonus

It is God's ship, His ark by which those spiritually attuned to their Creator may escape much of the effects of “Tribulation” soon to come upon this Earth.Read more…Too Many Baptist Churches in Deep South; Very Problematic Indeed
Have you ever visited the Deep South in the United States? Heck there is a Baptist Church on every corner and it is rather interesting indeed to see all this and even more funny when driving down the road in a Prevost motor home or motor home on a truck chassis which are not all that quiet and you can hear the people singing out side the church, while you drive by.And I sheet you not; in Macon Georgia we drove down one street with 4 Baptist Churches about 400 yards apart and on both sides of the street and we could hear singing as we drove down the street at the same time from each of them.Read more…Christianity on Its Last Wave; So Wave Goodbye
Have you been watching the increase in Christianity in the United States of America? Well, this is interesting because recently on a trip to England I found most people had totally dismissed Christianity and many are adopting a more Jeti Religion approach to things; Let the Force be With You.Pretty cool stuff if you ask me and it sure makes a lot of sense and why not make a religion out of science anyway, as it is pretty hard to refute it all and the evidence is all easily available.Read more…Catholic Church and Its Silly Attire
Have you ever wondered why the Catholic Church wears all those silly get-ups? I mean why do they wear costumes that look as if they are out of a silly Hollywood old “B” movie, never made it to video flick? Who on Earth is in charge of that ridiculous wardrobe anyway?Read more…Proof That God Exists
The existence of God can be proved in two ways – by practical demonstration and by deduction. These two methods are employed because they are acceptable to science. In science, fact can be established by practical demonstration and knowledge can be arrived at by deduction.Read more…Finding Peace
When you think about peace, what thoughts come to your mind? Maybe you see yourself in a quiet spot, no distractions away from constant agitation. Or maybe you see peace as a place for a better world - a place where people could live in harmony and unison.Read more…Finding Peace part 2
It is often said that peace is a covenant between two parties -an ending to all hostilities. When the Lord Jesus Christ came he wrote a new covenant in His blood, to establish peace through the Cross. For the believer it is a marvelous offer.Read more…Finding Peace part 3
One of the great destroyers of peace is sin. Sin has consequences on the human soul. A child of God knows the destructive impact that sin has over one’s mind, hope and confidence.Read more…

Within each one of us lies the desire to know the meaning of our lives. At some point of time man strives to analyze the reason for his birth and his duties towards the Almighty.

In the seventeenth chapter of Matthew the Apostles Peter, James and John were with Christ when he suddenly was transfigured (glowing or glorified) and was seen talking with Moses and Elijah. Instead of trying to hear what was being said between Jesus, Moses and Elijah, Peter decided that building a shrine to commemorate the event would be a better idea. A voice came from above that changed Peters mind and is still changing minds to this day. - What is Peace - By: Syed Masrur

Matthew 7:13 and 14: Enter through the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.Imagine a gate before you.

The female equivalent of Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, is the rite of passage between childhood and becoming an adult female, in the Jewish faith. At approximately the age of twelve, Jewish females become Bat Mitzvah. At this time, she becomes responsible for herself and her life decisions, both inside and outside the church. - Jesus Isn't A Brand Name - By: Glen D. Williams

Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise This world that I found is too good to be true Standing here beside you, want so much to give you This love in my heart and I feel it for you Let 'em say we're crazy, I'll give a path Put your hands in my hand baby don't ever look back Let the world around us, just fall apart Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart And we can build this thing together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us nowWhen I first came to love this song it was at an Amway convention when they blasted out songs and showed slides of cars, houses and holidays and the richest of possessions that we could all dream for and strive for. Sorry to bring Amway into it. May make a few of you laugh though. - Ted Haggard and How Evangelical Politics Helped End His Preaching Career - By: Les Herron
When the reports of Pastor Ted Haggard's potential sexual downfall were first shouted from the rooftops of the mainstream media his religious friends (and others) pointed fingers at what was certainly political motivation.And politics were certainly a part of the why's and how's of Haggard's downfall but probably not in the way we first thought.To be evangelical and/or charismatic we must be aligned with a specific political party and vote a certain way on each 'important' issue', with importance being defined by someone in a ministry typically located outside of a local church ministry (para-church ministry). - Does the Qu'ran Command Endless War - By: Ray McIntyre
After the tragedies of the 11th of September 2001 and the invasion of Iraq many people are arguing that the Qu'ran and Islam itself teaches that a state of endless war exists between Muslims and 'Infidels' (who are usually defined by these folk as being Christians and Jews.)In support of their arguments they pull quotes from the Qu'ran which seem to support their position, but do they really?In this article I want to show the deceitful way in which these folk argue, either out of ignorace on their part or from a desire to stir up hatred against folk.
