Start With the Principle!

It seems to me that many people get into trouble in their Christian lives because they rush to particulars.  “What about this or that?” they ask.  The answer to such questions is to go back and to find a general principle.  The details can never be properly understood except in the light of the whole.  The whole is greater than the parts, and controls our understanding of them.  The particular problems that arise in the Christian life must never be considered in isolation; to do so is to court error and heresy and much trouble in practice.

How Humanism Entered the Church

At its core, therefore, the Reformation was the removing of the humanistic distortions which had entered the church.

It is worth reiterating the ways in which the infiltration by humanistic thought--growing over the years but fully developed by 1500--showed itself.  First, the authority of the church was made equal to the authority of the Bible.  Second, a strong element of human work was added to the work of Christ for salvation.  Third, after Thomas Aquinas there had come an increasing synthesis between biblical teaching and pagan thought.  This synthesis was not just a borrowing of words but actually of content.

Love Requires Truth

To stifle truth in the name of love is actually quite selfish.  Bruce Frohnen, law professor at Ohio Northern University, observed that, “‘Niceness’ is a rather shallow set of habits and attitudes more concerned with comfort than engagement, ease than excellence, contentment than striving to do one’s best…. Unfortunately, when truth comes to be seen as subjective, toleration becomes the chief virtue, and it comes to mean simply ignoring one’s fellows, in essence not caring what others do.”  To hide from truth to be perceived as “nice” does no one any favors.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

John MacArthur isn’t going to be a bit popular with those churches approving homosexuality and same-sex fake marriage; he says they are “satan’s church.”  I have to agree with him there!

Approving homosexuality is one of the “17 signs that your church is becoming secular.”

Along this line, should Christians ever attend a same-sex fake wedding?  Absolutely not!  On April 14th I posted a link to an article explaining why a wedding is different than anything else, and it was a good discussion as to why a Christian should never, ever attend the “wedding” of homosexual people.

Tony Campolo again proves that he is a false teacher—a wolf among the flocks.  He is asserting that Christians should vote for Hillary Clinton for President of the U.S.A.   First, being a member of the Democrat party, she agrees with their party platform of supporting the homosexual agenda (including same-sex fake marriage), unrestricted abortion, sexual immorality in general, theft (redistribution of wealth), etc.  Other than than, Mrs. Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians in history, as recent events have demonstrated with the many scandals in which she is involved.  No Christian should give any approval for Mrs. Clinton’s political aspirations.  Campolo is a dangerous wolf in sheep’s clothing; a rank heretic whom I’ve previously exposed.

IHOP’s Mike Bickle is a false teacher, as I have noted several times in the past.  A new site I’ve come across exposes Bickle’s propensity for twisting Scripture to justify his teachings.

Rick Warren teamed up with Dr. Mehmet Oz for his “Daniel Program,” totally ignoring Dr. Oz’s theological beliefs.  Well, now even the secular world has exposed Oz as a quack, yet Warren has remained silent.  Another example as to why Warren is not a teacher anyone should be following.

Lindsay has a good, short commentary on an article by Bill Muehlenberg, which is about the apostate church and “dhimmitude.”  Thought-provoking.

Remember my last report about Creflo Dollar’s seeking money for a $65 million jet?  Well, he isn’t happy with his critics—he thinks he should be able to want it and no one should criticize him for it!

Another Roman Catholic educational institution is violating Catholic teachings by having a “transgender” activist to have a speaking platform.  Will those who approved this be excommunicated?  Don’t hold your breath.  The problem of sexual perversion being promoted among Catholic schools is becoming routine because no disciplinary action is taken.

Here’s an important alert:  The Berean from Bible Tools teaches heresy.  If you use Bible Tools, cease doing so immediately so as to preserve your spiritual health.

As if  we need more evidence as to why Roma Downey’s TV “Bible” specials should be avoided, you really need to see her latest ideaThe Women of the Bible.  Her cast of characters is a regular who’s who of female false teachers.

Here’s a good article explaining the problem with shows like Downey’s “Son of God” series, as well as any depiction of Jesus.

Finally, Neil Simpson has a good article about the horrible abuse of Philippians 4:13.  It is indeed one of the most abused Scriptures.

Andy Stanley’s Questionable Teachings

Andy Stanley has often been a subject of the “Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies” entries because of his eyebrow-raising teachings.  I want to review some of these teachings as a lead-in to today’s commentary on a very recent incident.

Stanley intimated that the sin of homosexuality isn’t really a problem.

When Stanley is challenged on the previous issue, he gets antagonistic.

Stanley thinks President Obama, who is possibly the most ungodly president we’ve ever had, should be known as “Pastor in Chief.”

Stanley has a book with some very questionable teachings.

If Christians do not want to participate in a same-sex fake wedding, Stanley says they should “leave Jesus out of it.”

Stanley endorsed the “Son of God” TV series with its bad teachings.

Stanley’s teachings as to why God became human are very troubling.

Andy thinks pastors should stop using the phrase, “the Bible says,” so as to not put off skeptics.

Stanley’s new book about “love, sex and dating” leaves a lot to be desired.

Stanley had a new sermon series based on half of a verse, and which claims Christianity has been corrupted by “being controlled by sacred places, sacred texts, sacred men, and sincere followers.

More recently, Stanley says you will live a better life if you just follow Jesus’ teachings, even if you don’t believe Jesus is the Son of God.

So now let’s look at the most recent incident.

According to an article in the Christian Post, Andy Stanley thinks that “Churches Should Be ‘Safest Place on the Planet” for Gay Youth.

Really?  A “church,” i.e., a Christian assembly, is a place for Christians to meet and NOT a place to aid and abet sinners.  If “gay youth” come into the assembly, they should be told in no uncertain terms that homosexual behavior is a sin, and that one cannot seriously claim to be a Christian while remaining in abject rebellion against God by ignoring what He says about sexual immorality in general and homosexual behavior specifically.   If the “gay youth” has no intention of repenting of their sin, then they are not interested in the Christian faith.  One must change their identity from being “gay” to being “Christian” — they can’t be both.  Besides, it isn’t as if there is a large number of “gay youth” which will even be interested in church — the total population of people claiming to be “gay” is only 2-3%!

The article cites some of Stanley’s talk at a church:  "There is not consensus in this room when it comes to same-sex attraction. There is not consensus in this room when it comes to gay marriage.”

That’s a major problem in the Church today: EVERY CHRISTIAN should have the same consensus about fake marriage—GOD’S consensus!

Stanley suggests that churches should “take a break” from the culture wars for a year, but the problem is that the culture war is directed AT Christians and the Christian faith, and we must defend where the battle rages.  This reminds me of a quote often erroneously attributed to Martin Luther:  “If I profess, with the loudest voice and the clearest exposition, every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christianity. Where the battle rages the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace to him if he flinches at that one point.”

The last item in the news article notes that Stanley tells the Church to behave more like Christians are called to behave, and I have to agree with him there - to a point.  “If all the Christians for just one year ... would quit looking at porn ... would quit smoking weed, would quit having premarital sex, would quit committing adultery, would pay their taxes and every church just foster one kid; in one year our nation would feel different.”

Since unbelievers outnumber true Christians to a large degree, the nation wouldn’t feel any different, but the Church might have more credibility. However, then he says,  “So basically, if we would just be better Christians, everything we would like to see changed for the most part would change.”  Oh, really?  IF the people of Christ begin acting like Christians should, then all the bad stuff in the world will change?  Abortion will end?  The homosexualists will stop forcing Christians to approve of their lifestyle? Muslims will stop beheading Christians?  The U.S. government will cease turning socialist? ETC?

The problem is that everyone in the Church could change their behavior to be more “holy,” but behavior is only the working out of correct beliefs.  When most of the Church has false teachings, the behavior will be in accordance with the false teachings.  (For example, when a church teaches that homosexuality and abortion are okay with God, then sexual immorality of all types becomes okay.)

Andy Stanley continues to swing more and more towards affirmation for those practicing homosexual behavior.  Which, really shouldn’t be surprising considering how liberal his teachings are becoming.  The Church should quit pointing to Stanley as a teacher worth following.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Today I will start with some links to information about Dallas Willard.  Yesterday I was asked by a retired pastor friend to get him some information about Willard, so I copied articles from some journals in my library, and then started to copy some teaching letters from Gary Gilley when I remembered that THOSE are on line!  So I went on line and printed out the articles much quicker than photocopying.  These articles are not just about Willard, but are about the whole “spiritual formation” movement in which Willard is a top figure.  So will see some other big names, such as Richard Foster, associated with these articles:

Spiritual Formation
Solitude and Silence
Roots of the Spiritual Formation Movement
Fasting and Spiritual Direction
Discernment and Revelation

Finally, a review of Willard’s book, The Spirit of Disciplines, reviewed by Bob DeWaay.

From Lighthouse Trails Research Project we have this caution about a “”New Way’ of Doing Things.”

I was surprised to learn that a very secular source published an article by a pastor exposing the false teachings of Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer.  He does a good job of explaining some of their worst errors.

Another episode of “A.D.” was reviewed.  The series is definitely poison.

The “7 Unbiblical Statements Christians Believe” seem to be from Joel Osteen and his ilk.

Gee, the Vatican is having trouble keeping up with the demand for exorcisms.  Well, when you invent a problem and then teach it as dangerous to your followers, it should go without saying that there will be an explosion of that problem among your followers!

Spiritual AIDS

The message today, at the church we are visiting, was about getting back to the fundamentals.  The pastor gave many statistics about how many Bibles are in American homes, as well as about how few people actually read their Bibles.  Of course we can expect the lack of reading from unbelievers, but the statistics about how few Christians actually read their Bibles is quite disheartening.

But, then again, it really isn’t surprising when one considers the hundreds of thousands of “Christians” following false teachers.  They don’t read their Bibles so they don’t realize what they are being taught is unbiblical, and therefore they have no idea what real Christian doctrine is.  G. Richard Fisher, a retired pastor who is also a member of the board of directors for Personal Freedom Outreach apologetics ministry, calls this “Spiritual AIDS - Acquired Ignorance of Doctrine Syndrome.”

I couldn’t help but think to myself that one of the problems helping to cause “Spiritual AIDS” is the music brought into the Church.  Where in the past the hymns were rich with Christian doctrine, most of what we have in the Church today is pap.  Oh it leads people to be emotional about Jesus, but I’m not sure the Jesus they are emotional about is the Jesus of the Bible—especially when the songs are of the “Jesus is my boyfriend” genre.  What is really a serious problem, though, is that the songs we sing are no longer a “common language” of the Church—every assembly seems to have their own “flavor” of music, so that the person from New York who travels to Wyoming can no longer recognize the songs of worship!

I have, in many past articles, examined some of the newer songs as well as older hymns; check the articles under the label “Hymns/songs.”  You will see many with rich doctrine, but you will also see how much of the more modern stuff has no, or virtually no, doctrine.

So even though most Christians attend assemblies on a regular basis, they don’t get into the Word at home and they sing insipid, “feel good” songs and choruses which aren’t a common language.  Most are attending seeker sinner-sensitive or market-driven assemblies where doctrine is also shallow.  Those who choose to read are reading books from popular teachers (Beth Moore, Joyce Meyer, T.D. Jakes, et al) who have more false teachings than any good they may have—and pastors are not warning against these teachers from the pulpit!

Is it any wonder that the vast majority of the Church suffers from Spiritual AIDS?  Is it any wonder that it becomes more and more difficult to distinguish between a believer and a non-believer?

The lesson today was an encouragement to get into the Word of God, to remember that the Bible—both Old and New Testament—is for our instruction.  It is also for our salvation.  It is also our protection against false teachings.

Read the Word; peruse it and study it.  And then live it.

The Church Dropped the Ball on Marriage

The church stopped defending marriage when fast-and-loose, no-fault divorces became fashionable in the church.  We did so when adultery, premarital sex, and cohabitation were no longer condemned from the pulpit.  We let go of the family unit when dads walked out on their families and left fifteen million US children fatherless.  That was when the church dropped the ball on marriage.

Jesus Addressed Homosexuality

It is naive and a desperate grasp at straws to argue that Jesus was only supporting one man and one woman in regards to the adultery question.  Jesus was speaking to a Jewish rabbi in front of a Jewish crowd regarding sexual morality.  And the Jews’ context for sexual immorality is found in Leviticus laws which states plain as day that homosexuality was wrong.

Christianity is an Identity to Live

Christianity is not an identity we slip on and off like a pair of shoes when it is comfortable.  Our faith characterizes our recognition of the inerrant authority of Scripture, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and determination to publicly share the good news without cultural compromise.

Some Links to Good Stuff

I always like to remind people that apologetics is not just “offensive” (i.e., exposing the bad stuff), but it is also defensive (defending the faith).  The defensive aspect needs to include the knowledge necessary to defend your faith against all types of attacks on all parts of doctrine and practice.  For this reason, I like to provide links to articles I come across which I think will be good tools for increasing knowledge of the faith.

Let’s start today’s collection by pointing out what is needed for spiritual maturity; after all, if you aren’t spiritually mature you will be ineffective at defending your faith and virtually useless for exposing false teachings.  The Cripplegate posted an article in this regard:  “5 Signs of Spiritual Maturity.”

Many cults, including those such as the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christadelphians, and others who deny the deity of Christ, tend to claim that the Bible does not teach Jesus is God.  Instead, they claim, this was a late development of man.  The Cripplegate gives some really good examples from Scripture and early church writings which speak of the deity of Christ.  (I also wrote an article using logic to prove the doctrine of the Trinity, which includes the deity of Christ, just by using the Bible.)

This last article from the Cripplegate explains why the story of David and Goliath has been misunderstood.

Why Did Christianity Grow?  Kevin DeYoung gives and excellent answer to that question.

J.Warner Wallace tells us why EVERY Christian needs to be an apologist for the faith, so that EVERY Christian can be a sheepdog protecting the flock from wolves.

An interesting article by Mark Tooley is “Liberal Religion and Easter Victory.”  Quite appropriate for the season.

Are there Biblical grounds for divorce?  There is a lot of debate and disagreement among Christians as to whether there is a biblical reason, as well as whether one who is divorced can remarry.  I personally believer there are two biblical reasons: sexual immorality and abandonment.  I also think that biblical remarriage is possible for Biblical divorces.  While I will not entertain discussions on this topic (because it gets divisive), I think this article by Rick Phillips should give everyone some food for thought.

Now that we’ve come to the topic of marriage, the last two articles are in regards to what marriage is.

Kevin DeYoung explains why for Christians, a wedding is a sacred ceremony unlike any other, which is why it is so important that Christians do not participate in any way in a same-sex fake wedding.

Tim Challies reports on a new commentary on the Song of Solomon.  I read Challies’ citation from the opening chapter to the book and that led me to place an order for it!

When Sin is Called Sickness

Sin is the core issue on which the Church is commissioned to speak.   We can no more have a gospel without sin that we can have a gospel without Jesus Christ.  To evade sin and responsibility is not new, but it is dangerous.  By suggesting there is another explanation for troubles and difficulties, the devil deludes us and sabotages the gospel.

The medical model of sin is dangerous because it damns people.  It undercuts social morality.  In a day of high crime and antisocial behavior, calling sin sickness undermines the individual's responsibility to control his behavior.  The disease model actually inflames behaviors.  It legitimizes, reinforces and excuses sinful behaviors and attitudes in believers and unbelievers alike.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Robert Schuller died last week.   With the false gospel he taught, I can’t imagine that he was a true Christian.  Elizabeth Prata had a good report about him.

Christianity Today Astray never cease to support the aberrant, false teachers, and apostate churches.  Their glowing report about the Church of England’s first woman bishop is a prime example as to why this publication cannot be trusted.

I just finished reading Chelsen Vicari’s book, Distortion: How the New Christian Left is Twisting the Gospel & Damaging the Faith.  Aside from her positive comments about some dubious and false teachers, it is a pretty good wake-up call to the Church.  One teacher she did expose for what he is, is Andy Stanley.  On pages 130 and 131, Vicari reports about Stanley’s January 2014 interview with Kirsten Powers of USA Today.  Stanley said that he finds it “offensive that Christians would leverage faith to support the Kansas law” [regarding religious liberty vs homosexuals] and that “Serving people we don’t see eye to eye with is the essence of Christianity.  Jesus died for a world with which he didn’t see eye to eye.”  He also said, “If a bakery doesn’t want to sell its products to a gay couple, it’s their business.  Literally.  But leave Jesus out of it.”  His defense of the homosexual cause has been noted in some of my previous articles, and this just adds “fuel to the fire.”  He worships a different Jesus if he thinks Jesus would be okay with assisting homosexual practitioners with their sin.  “Leave Jesus out of it”?!?  Absolutely NOT!  I think I covered this subject well in the article I posted on Tuesday.

A Benny Hinn “anointed” false prophet, Rebecca Greenwood, is an example of all that is wrong with the charismatic movement.  Can you imagine God giving a person a prophetic ability to predict what will happen next in movies?!?  Being interviewed by false teachers/false prophets Mike and Cindy Jacobs should be evidence enough that anything said will not be from God!

An interesting tid-bit about the New Apostolic Reformation; Ted Haggard was one of the originals in that false belief system.

With that item about the NAR, I’ll segue to an article about IHOP and some of the psychobabble and mysticism they promote—along with their other false teachings.

A couple reports to bring to your attention in regards to the new Roma Downey “A.D.” TV mini-series:  Sunny Shell and Stand Up For the Truth.

This last one should leave you shaking you head.  A perfect example of what happens when one receives poor teachings about the Christian faith is Brittney Cooper, a professor at Rutgers University.  She certainly is worshipping a Jesus of her own imagination, but these beliefs are quite common among liberal so-called “Christians.”

Where Is the Discernment?

In the Des Moines Register news this week (and all over the local TV news) was a story about Dowling High School, a Catholic school, deciding to NOT hire a teacher who is in a same-sex relationship and “engaged” to his partner.  There are some separate issues with this case which I’d like to address from both a general discernment view and an apologetic view.

First, from the discernment view, let’s look at how the media addresses the case:

Dowling High decision not to hire gay teacher protected by law.

Just to nit-pick; my first thought was, is the teacher protected by law or is the decision protected by law?  The latter, of course, is what is meant, but no one teaches proper grammar any more, so we get these types of silly headlines.  Notice also that they immediately imply there is something wrong with what the school is doing — by suggesting a legal protection is necessary because otherwise the school couldn’t do it.  They even clarify how they see a wrong when they write, “because Iowa's civil rights law allows religious institutions to discriminate based on sexual orientation.”

Notice how they framed the issue — that the school was discriminating against one’s sexual “orientation” rather than the truth that they were discriminating against sexual behavior.  This is the standard argument from those who want to force Christians to assist people in their sin — they claim it is because of “orientation” (i.e., desires) rather than behavior.  This is how the courts also treat the issue, and it is all one huge LIE!

The truth is that the teacher’s “sexual orientation” had nothing to do with the school’s decision; the school said it was because his same-sex relationship “was at odds with Church teaching.”

The letter from the local Bishop explained that their teaching contracts have a moral clause, and that moral clause will not permit the hiring of anyone not in compliance with Roman Catholic teaching on marriage.

"Our contracts contain specific language that outline the expected code of conduct in accord with long accepted Church teaching," Luvern Gubbels, Des Moines Catholic Schools superintendent, wrote in the letter sent to parents of Dowling students. "The Catholic faith is central to our mission, and in order to deliver on that mission, it is our expectation that staff and teachers support our moral beliefs."

The man could be an adulterer, could be living unmarried with a woman, could be a bigamist, etc; all sexually immoral and not acceptable.  So, was the teacher’s “sexual orientation” the reason?  NO — it was not even mentioned.  The reason was because of sexual immorality  — CONDUCT!  Yet the media lied and said otherwise because they are promoting an agenda.

More from the media:  “Nationwide, clashes between civil rights and religious freedom are becoming more frequent and more fervent.”  Notice how they again wrongly frame the argument — “civil rights” vs “religious freedom,” as if the two are not the same!  (This argument is repeated again in the article.) The 1st Amendment to the Constitution says that the STATE cannot interfere with the free exercise of religion.  It does not permit any government to force religious people (whether Christians, Muslims, etc) to act against the exercise of their religion — and THAT is a “civil right”!

In Iowa, the state's civil rights act prohibits hiring discrimination based on reasons that include sexual orientation. However, the law makes an exception for religious institutions.

"Just in terms of employment discrimination laws, religious institutions can in fact discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation," said Paul Gowder, associate law professor at the University of Iowa. "Whether that's a good idea or not is another question entirely.” . . .

Gowder, the UI associate professor, predicted there will be "a serious ethical and legal debate as we move in time" over the rights of a religious institution to discriminate against someone because of his or her sexual orientation.

"I'm concerned about the notion that the message that we are sending allows a religious school to discriminate against gays and lesbians," he said.

Here we have an argument that “discrimination” is wrong, yet the media and Gowder are discriminating against the school in this case!!!  And again, notice they bring in the straw man of “sexual orientation” — an issue which is not a reason for the refusal to hire.

"Are we going see more of this? I think we are, undoubtedly," said Mark Kende, director of Drake University's Constitutional Law Center. . . .

Kende, of Drake, agreed that the issue will continue to simmer, particularly as more states allow same-sex marriage.

And, he said, there eventually could be movement by the courts. For instance, years ago, Virginia law prohibited blacks and whites from marrying.

"Over time, that changed," he said. "The Catholic Church changes quite slowly."

This is a favorite red herring of the homosexualists, as well as liberals in general.  Prohibiting people of different cultures and skin colors from marrying was based on nothing but racism (the ideology behind evolutionism) and was totally against everything taught in the Bible.   Skin color is morally neutral and does not affect whether a marriage is a marriage.  However, homosexual behavior is NOT morally neutral, and two of the same sex do not make a marriage.

Here’s the apologetic problem with this issue:  “A walkout in protest of the decision will be held at 1:20 p.m. Wednesday. Dowling Catholic students and alumni are planning to do a walkout and prayer at the northeast entrance of the school.

This is a Catholic school where Catholic doctrine (which in this case is the same doctrine for all real Christians) is expected to be upheld, yet alumni and students — whom I am assuming are Catholic — are protesting the school’s decision!!

My first question is, where are the parents of these students; why are the parents allowing their children to protest Catholic teachings all the while using the Catholic school??  If they are not Catholics, then what right do they have to use the school and not support the Catholic doctrines?

My next question is, will the local Catholic leadership excommunicate these alumni and students until they repent of their actions?  I sincerely doubt it; the Catholic Church is very reticent to exercise church discipline, which is why they have within their ranks so many supporters of homosexuality and abortion.

This whole case demonstrates that the public at large is being lied to by the media and the leftists, and they lack the discernment to even notice it.  It also demonstrates what happens when the Church at large refuses to exercise church discipline, which results in sin running rampant in the Church, let alone among unbelievers.

Would Christ Have Us Serve A Same-Sex "Wedding"?

A friend directed me to a blog article a couple days ago, a blog which purports to be by a Christian, Jessica Kantrowitz, all the while preaching that God has no problem with homosexuality.  A person who preaches that cannot be a Christian, because they would be calling God a liar!  Yet this blogger has been to seminary and was supposedly in “full-time ministry” for a period of time.  After reading this particular post, I have to wonder how many people she led astray in her “ministry.”

In this particular post, the author has decided that Christians who do not want to support the sin of homosexuality are all in error, that Christians should show how “loving” they are by fostering homosexual sin.  Now, Eternity Matters has a fairly short rebuttal to the article, but I feel it needs to be examined a wee bit more in depth, especially since the comment string has many people (including those claiming to be pastors) saying what a great article it is, and how much it shows the love of Jesus, etc.  And don’t forget that, according to some of the commenters, homosexuality is something one is born with!  (Of course there is no evidence for such a claim, but all of us are born with desires to sin - we are supposed to overcome such desires!)

Okay, so let’s start examining some of the statements by the author.

First, she cites Matthew 5:41 where Jesus says that if one is forced to go a mile, then we are to go two miles.  She continues with other Biblical examples of turning the other cheek, give to the one who wants to borrow, etc.  The point Jesus is making is that we are to help even our enemies by providing them with personal needs.  Notice Jesus NEVER suggests we help enemies or friends in sexual behavior.  In fact, he told the woman caught in adultery to “go and sin no more” — he did NOT help her back to her adulterous relationship.

Then the author says this:

If you believe gay marriage is immoral (I don’t, myself) and a gay couple comes into your shop and asks you to bake a cake for their wedding, what should you do? If God causes the sun to rise and the rain to fall on the wedding days of straight and gay couples, then what is our responsibility? If it is against the law to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation, but you believe strongly that their lifestyle is immoral, what should you do?

Christians, our Jesus said, “Go with them two.”

She says she doesn’t believe “gay marriage” is immoral, all the while claiming to be a Christian.  She totally disregards the FACT that God calls homosexual behavior an abomination, and the FACT that God established marriage between a man and a woman.  As far as the author is concerned, God is wrong because SHE doesn’t consider same-sex fake marriage to be immoral.

She then conflates the fact of God’s grace with sun and rain for everyone in the world with the idea that Christ would want us to assist someone in their sin.  She decides that Christ would have us bake TWO cakes for a same-sex fake wedding.  This is what we call a “cult cocktail - Scripture with a twist.”  Nothing anything Jesus ever said even hinted at assisting someone in their sin.

Of course the author’s stance is founded on HER idea that people just BELIEVE that homosexual behavior is immoral, while she believes that homosexual behavior is objectively as moral as heterosexual behavior.  What is her standard for deciding this?  Her own opinion.  So it is just YOUR opinion when you say homosexual behavior is immoral, even though we point to God’s standard.  But we are just in error according to her.

Lastly, for this paragraph, notice how she points out that the law makes it illegal to discriminate against people because of their “sexual orientation.”  This is a straw man, because NO ONE is discriminating against someone’s sexual desires when they refuse to bake a wedding cake for them, rather they are discriminating against a particular activity - a FAKE wedding!

If you are wondering if it is worth being sued and losing your business to stand up for what you believe is right, if you miss the look of hurt in the couple’s eyes when you refuse them and only see an angry, media-driven, ACLU-led mob attacking the small business owner who is only standing up for what you believe in, what should you do?

Christians, our Jesus said, “Go with them two.”

Is it worth being sued, etc, to stand up for one’s faith in Christ?  What did Peter say in Acts 5:29?  “We must obey God rather than man.”  What did Jesus say in Matthew 10:28?  “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.  Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”  Does it matter that the same-sex couple seeking the cake is “hurt” or that an angry mob is attacking you?  Absolutely not!  Would Jesus tell you to bake two cakes to sanction their sin?  Absolutely not!

Jesus said, not only should you follow the law of the land — the law which in America for the most part prohibits discrimination against people because of their sexual orientation — not only should you do the minimum you have to do, you should go the extra mile. (Yes, that’s where that expression comes from!) Do *twice* what the law requires.

So if the law requires you to turn in your Jewish neighbor to the Nazis, then Jesus would have you turn in two Jewish neighbors?  This is one of the worst abuses of Scripture I have ever encountered!  Again, she discusses a law making discrimination against desires illegal, but no one is doing this — they are discriminating against ACTIVITIES!!

So would the author tell the black Christian baker to make cakes for KKK rallies?  Would she tell a “gay” baker to make cakes which say, “Same-sex marriage is fake?”  (Of course that law she loves so much, which in Colorado punished a Christian baker for refusing to bake for a fake wedding, refused to punish a “gay” baker for denying a Christian a requested cake!  This proves the law is against Christians disagreeing with homosexuality and not against discrimination by “gays.”)

If someone forces you to bake a cake for a gay wedding, bake for them two.

Acts 5:29 says otherwise!

Christians, our Jesus said to not only follow the law, but to rise to a higher standard of love. Christians should be the FIRST people baking cakes — for everyone who asks us. We should be known for our cake baking. People should be saying, “There go those crazy Christians again, baking cakes for everyone. They just won’t quit!” Then, when we share the reason for our wild, all-inclusive love, people will want to hear it. “Let your light shine before others,” said Jesus, “that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Again, I point to Acts 5:29, and the FACT that God (including Christ) has stated plainly that homosexual behavior is an abominable sin.  If a Christian really wants to show love to those who practice homosexuality, they won’t participate in their sin, will not sanction their sin, will not help them in their sin — they will tell them the truth about homosexual behavior being abominable to God, let alone being an extremely dangerous practice medically and psychologically!  THAT is how we make our light shine - by speaking the TRUTH!

Christians, when we dig our heels in and insist on our right to discriminate, we are hurting people — we are hurting so many people, so deeply. Behind the ACLU and the liberal media are real people, who have been hurt again and again in the name of Christ. Christians, you and I have hurt them. I know most of us have really good intentions, but we are making Jesus the last thing they want to hear about.

The author makes out that discrimination is always wrong, and yet everyone discriminates in everything on a daily basis.  To discriminate means to determine right from wrong, worst from best, etc.  SHE is discriminating against true Christianity!  These people who she claims are “hurt…in the name of Christ” are indeed not hurt by that Name, but they can be HELPED by that Name if they repent and place their faith in His work!  The reason “Jesus is the last thing they want to hear about” is because the truth points to their sin, and they don’t want to give up the sin.  So they blame the Christian for “offending” them.

If we “snatch one person from the fire” by refusing to condone behavior we believe is immoral, but send hundreds and thousands of others fleeing churches and Christianity entirely, what have we really accomplished? Someone else will make that cake and fewer and fewer people will look to Christianity for love and hope. We will have won a battle that we were never called to fight in the first place, but lost the war.

Notice how she keeps talking about “behavior we believe is immoral,” rather than the objective truth of what God says is immoral.  The foundation of the article is based on the lie that homosexual behavior is not immoral.  If people flee “churches and Christianity entirely” because of the Christian teaching against homosexuality, then these people aren’t interested in what God has to say, rather they want to continue in their sinful lifestyles with no condemnation of it.  The battle we have been called to fight is the battle for the truth, and one will never lose that battle because Christ Himself is truth.

There are hundreds of comments posted on this string; I only spent time looking at a few dozen but found nothing but deception and brainwashing among people who claim to follow Christ and yet think it is loving to support homosexual behavior.  These people are listening to the lies of the devil and his minion wolves in the pulpits across this nation, as well as around the world.

The Bible is very plain: homosexual behavior is a serious sin.  It does not lose its sinful status just because the people practicing it “love” each other.  God does not recognize as “marriage” anything other than that which is between members of the opposite sex.  Any Christian who thinks otherwise is ignoring the teachings of God and/or just plain calling God a liar.  A person cannot be a true Christian while worshipping a God or Christ of their own imagination — a God or Christ who condones homosexual behavior.  Such a god is an idol.  Such a christ is an idol, and unable to save anyone from their sins.

What would Christ REALLY have us do if we are asked to bake a cake for a same-sex fake wedding?  He would have us refuse to do so as we explain that we cannot assist people to celebrate their sin without rebelling against God, and that we cannot and will not rebel against God.

The author of the article is a false teacher in abject rebellion against God.  Do not listen to her.

4/8/15 UPDATE:  Read this excellent article about the situation by Douglas Wilson.

What's On Facebook's Mind? Organ Donation

May 1, 2012
Originally published on May 11, 2012 12:02 pm

Have you signed up to donate your organs if something happens to you? Are you willing to share that information online with your friends, family and acquaintances?

Facebook execs think you might. And they reckon shared stories about the decision to become an organ donor might spur others to do the same.

Starting today, the social media giant is letting you add your organ-donation status to your timeline. And, if you'd like to become an organ donor, Facebook will direct you to a registry.

Patients and transplant surgeons are eager for you to try it out.

Nearly 114,000 people in this country are waiting for organs, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. But there simply aren't enough organs to go around.

"We have the ability and the tools to fix this problem," Dr. Andrew Cameron, a transplant surgeon at Johns Hopkins, tells Shots. The problem, he says, is that too few people have given their consent to become organ donors.

At Hopkins there's a list of 300 patients waiting for donated livers. "We're only able to transplant two or three a month," he says. "It's devastating to face a family that's lost a loved one because they just didn't get their turn."

Why haven't more people already agreed to donate organs? "I think it's a very difficult personal topic," Cameron says, and isn't well suited to a quick decision at the Department of Motor Vehicles. The choice makes people think about what will happen to them after they die, he says.

Facebook might offer a less threatening way to do that. "In the comfort of your own home, in front of your computer and with the consensus of your friends or family members, you can use this communication tool .... to discuss something that can be very personal and very important," he says.

Cameron says the idea got cooking at a Harvard reunion. Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer at Facebook, and Cameron got to know each other as freshmen. They went their separate ways, but before their 20th reunion Cameron wrote in a class note about the crisis in transplant surgery — patients dying for lack of organs.

He says Sandberg told him, "I remember what you wrote. We can fix this problem." Now it's up and running. "When I heard her vision on this, I knew it would work."

Here are the details.

Taking To The Waves As The World Catches Fire

Nov 29, 2012
Originally published on November 29, 2012 7:51 pm

Otelo, a lanky, reticent 16-year-old, is standing on the beach outside Durban, South Africa, watching in disbelief and envy as his friend and periodic rival — the older, aggressive Mandla — does what Otelo has only heard of white people doing. Mandla is surfing.

"That's what people mean when they talk about freedom?" Otelo asks, half-heartedly trying to minimize what he's seen as Mandla, elation on his face, rides in on a wave.

When Otelo (Jafta Mamabolo) dares to pick up a surfboard and go out with Mandla (Sihle Xaba), he finds he feels that same sense of open possibility, as the world drops away and leaves only him, the board and the water. It's almost a moment out of time, but the world painfully remains as it is when Otelo returns to the shore. The feeling surfing provides evaporates as he heads back home to Lamontville, a poor, mostly black township south of Durban.

A heavy-handed but forceful coming-of-age story set circa 1989, against the backdrop of the violent beginning of apartheid's end, Otelo Burning examines different paths to freedom — finding it in moments of escape, fighting others for it — and the significant costs inherent in each approach.

Getting out of Lamontville is foremost on Otelo's mind, so he's truly hooked when Kurt (Matthew Oats), a white surfer with a stoner-uncle vibe, observes that with his talent, Mandla could go professional and reap the rewards of contest winnings and sponsorship. A life of swag and room service appeals to Otelo — considerably, given that the lot he can look forward to otherwise is caring for his younger brother Ntwe (Tshepang Mohlomi), and driving his abusive and neglectful father's taxi.

Otelo hides his budding interest from his father, who harbors strong superstitions about water, while Otelo's best friend and fellow aspiring surfer New Year (Thomas Gumede) is pressured by his older brother Blade to do something that advances actual freedom by joining the militant wing of the African National Congress. Meanwhile New Year's sister Dezi (Nolwazi Shange), whom Otelo and Mandla both fancy, increasingly sees only a dead end in taking over her mother's tavern, frequented by men who often take liberties with the proprietor.

Kurt encourages Otelo, New Year and Mandla, and they train over months to compete at the local, regional and national levels. Otelo Burning maintains a consistent undercurrent of tension as it tracks the increasing violence between the ANC and the Inkatha Freedom Party near Durban, but when the guys hit the water, it has the rhythms of any other redemptive sports movie whose hero makes a grab for the brass ring: Mandla undermines Otelo's superior raw talent whenever possible, while Otelo's developing relationship with Dezi motivates him further. And, of course, more time surfing also means he's there to look after Ntwe less.

Conventionally shot surfing sequences barely arouse a sense of excitement. Mamabolo convincingly illustrates the change in Otelo's naturally closed-off demeanor with actual cheerfulness when he's surfing, but the performance isn't quite strong enough to evoke the necessary contrast between the confinement of Lamontville and the adrenaline-fueled optimism of the ocean.

As the death toll rises in Lamontville and across the country, and as the political intrudes on the world Otelo and his friends have created for themselves, an audience unfamiliar with the specifics of the conflict and the relationships between the ANC, Inkatha and the government won't immediately catch up — but then that limited point of view more closely resembles what Otelo and his friends know. A sense of complete context during the film isn't necessary to understand the kids' experience of the moment — they know what they don't have and what they hope to have, and they know getting it will involve sacrifice of one kind or another.

Revealing its allegory late as it draws comparisons between Nelson Mandela's release and its own climax, Otelo Burning suggests that the larger political victories achieved in South Africa since majority rule cannot redeem the years of lives wasted under oppression — and warns of the consequences if the mistakes of the past are allowed to overshadow the opportunities of the future. The film presents a stark choice: seek escape in vengeance and blame, or gamble on the freedom gained by embracing a new world, however scarred it may be.

Expert: “We’re going to see more of this unfortunately”

WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY, Ohio (WDTN)– As those at Fort Hood try to come to terms with a second shooting, one man expects similar scenes to play out at other installations.

“We are going to see more of this unfortunately,” says Dr. Larry James, an expert on military psychology.

Dr. James is an Associate Vice-President for Military Affairs at Wright State University.

He’s also a retired army colonel who’s served 10 tours and seen countless cases involving military men and women.

He says we’re seeing the consequences of the country fighting wars on two fronts for more than a decade.

“Most of us adjust and adapt quite well when we get back home but some of these great men and women struggle psychologically or physically when they get back,” Dr. James says.

Dr. James believes the military needs to do a better job of identifying those who might have issues before they enter the armed forces and of helping those who develop problems.

“That person who’s really struggling gets lost in the shuffle,” Dr. James says.

Dr. James says one problem is that he doesn’t think there are enough psychiatrists in the military, particularly at places where troops are returning from deployments. provides commenting to allow for constructive discussion on the stories we cover.

Irish Govt. to force Catholics to perform abortions. Law allows for no exception or conscience objection.

From the Dignitatis Humanae Institute:

Irish Government Set To Compel Catholic Doctors To Perform Abortions

Rome, 16 August 2013

“Even nations with the most permissive abortion laws do not normally go so far as to trample on the basic right to conscientious objection.” So said Luca Volontè, Chairman of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute in a statement earlier today.

Volontè continued: “This bill claims human rights apply only to human beings, and not to institutions. But such a manipulative attempt at semantics casually disregards what it is that defines an institution, particularly a healthcare provider – at its core is an ethos, and individual employees who are dedicated to fulfilling that ethos. Far from seeking to maintain an amoral healthcare system, this bill will impose a new morality upon hospitals and those who serve in them, one which allows for no objection and uses all the authority of the State against any who would refuse to be accomplice to a clear moral evil.”

The option of abortion in Ireland will soon become a requirement for proscribed hospitals, regardless of religious ethos or conscientious objection. The Irish abortion bill, pseudonym: “Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill” explicitly denies the right of conscientious objection and enforces a no right to refuse condition upon 25 Hospitals, two of which are Catholic.

Recalling his work as the President of the European People’s Party (the largest party) in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly in Strasbourg, Luca Volontè added: “PACE Resolution 1763 clearly states:

No person, hospital or institution shall be coerced, held liable or discriminated against in any manner because of a refusal to perform, accommodate, assist or submit to an abortion, the performance of a human miscarriage, or euthanasia or any act which could cause the death of a human foetus or embryo, for any reason.

Such compulsion would be unprecedented in Ireland, and has been successfully challenged recently elsewhere.”

In April this year, a Scottish Court ruled in the ‘Doogan & Anor v NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde Health Board’ trial that two midwives could not be required to delegate, support or supervise staff who were involved in abortions.

Despite repeated refusals from the Irish Department of Health to work out an accommodation, Luca Volontè spoke of his hope for changes to the proposed law: “It is not unreasonable to ask for exemptions for staff (or institutions) on the grounds of conscience, whether they be religious or ethical; such accommodation is provided in many other Western nations which practice abortion. Freedom of thought and/or conscience is not only guaranteed by international law, it is innate to our human dignity. It is truly shocking to see the government of an advanced Western country trying to deny the basic human rights of its own citizens like this.”

Coming to a Catholic hospital near you.

And though it won’t begin with the arrest of those who refuse to participate in abortions, but it will end there.

29 Responses to Irish Govt. to force Catholics to perform abortions. Law allows for no exception or conscience objection.

  1. Bosco says:

    Greetings from Bantry in the County Cork. Yes, indeed, infamy after infamy is being heaped on Irish Catholics and all God-fearing folk here.

    Here’s another headline: “Archbishop Eamon Martin says Enda Kenny and other pro-abort Catholics will not be excommunicated or refused Holy Communion, according to The Tablet.”

    Here are two links:

    and have a listen to the BBC Radio interview of 11 August 2013 (The Archbishop’s interview begins about 40 minutes in)

    Yesterday was to have been the date upon which Ireland was supposed to have been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and act whose principal participant was the afore-mentioned Archbishop and an act which did not even mention Ireland in the consecration much less have the full participation of the bishops.

    The skies above Dublin turned an odd reddish orange last evening, an event so unusual it made the first page of the Irish Independent.

  2. Moro says:

    In 2004, gay marriage became the law of the land in Massachusetts. Attempts at a ballot initiative failed. Despite efforts to defend marriage by the Church, we failed. I believe we failed because, in the minds of far too many, the sexual abuse crisis basically damaged the credibility of anything any priest or faithful Catholic said. I don’t think it’s accident that abortion was recently legalized in Ireland, which has also occurred in the wake of a sexual abuse crisis. It’s a very hard, but important lesson for all of us to take note of. People look at your conduct as a Catholic and make judgments about your faith. If you act like a jerk, you poison their image of the Catholic faith.

    It also makes me wonder about some clinic protestors. Many are quite friendly and harmless but then you get people who, despite being pro-life, are down right nasty. Do you think that makes the opposition want to respect our rights?

  3. Legisperitus says:

    If we’re not among those who are sent to prison, wherever we live, maybe we can visit some who are.

  4. Palladio says:

    Words fail.

  5. Andreas says:

    Yes, this was noted in the very informative “”Dokumentationsarchiv der Intoleranz gegen Christen” / “Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians”…a not-for-profit organization that records and reports “objective and reliable data on the phenomenon of Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe.” (from their website that can be found at: They have recorded approximately 1000 cases of intolerance and discrimination against Christians in Europe during the past 6 years. With regard to the article at hand, the latest issue of their newletter notes that, “The Irish government has told a Catholic hospital that there will be no opting out of the new law legalizing abortion, and that requires hospitals to do the procedure. The health minister was responding to comments by a board member of Dublin’s Mater Misericordiae University Hospital that the hospital would not be complying with the new abortion law. Mater Hospital is one of the 25 institutions named in the so-called “Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act” where abortions must be carried out. Fr. Kevin Doran, a board member of Mater said, “The issue is broader than just abortion. What’s happening is the Minister is saying hospitals are not entitled to have an ethos.”

  6. StJude says:

    The world circling the drain continues on pace.
    Lord help us.

  7. Magpie says:

    From ‘The Tablet’ courtesy of ‘Protect the Pope’ blog:

    ‘CATHOLIC politicians who supported the legalisation of abortion will not be excommunicated or refused Communion, the future Primate of all Ireland has indicated, writes Sarah Mac Donald.

    Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster’s Sunday Sequence programme, Eamon Martin, coadjutor Archbishop of Armagh, said he had never
    refused Communion to anyone, but reiterated the Church’s position that it is not possible to be a person of faith and actively promote abortion.
    Archbishop Martin said every individual who voted in favour of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act – which allows terminations where
    there is a threat to the mother’s life, including suicide – should question whether they had actively promoted the killing of the unborn. But he explained: “The altar rails are not the place to be making a public statement,” on the issue.”

    If The Tablet report is correct, by taking this approach Archbishop Eamon Martin is rejecting the recommendations of Cardinal Ratzinger, Cardinal Bergoglio and Cardinal Raymond Burke about the steps to be taken when Catholic politicians vote to legalise the intentional killing of unborn babies through abortion.

  8. majuscule says:

    The devil at work. Ireland goes from being a country that forbids the taking of an unborn human life to being a country that punishes those who refuse to take that life.

    It has to be Satan’s influence.

  9. Supertradmum says:

    This happened in British Columbia, Canada, where all doctors in the health system were required by law to perform abortions. Overnight, hundreds of doctors found jobs in the States and moved. Sadly, there are little options for moving any more.

    As to the Irish thing, I have that information on the blog and the link to the BBC interview and the Tablet article from a commentator. The hand of Sauron has grown strong.

  10. Cantor says:

    While the bishops hide behind their meaningless words, it will be some faithful doctors and nurses who are forced to demonstrate what it means to be Catholic.

  11. Supertradmum says:

    majuscule, Satan does not work in a vaccum. This country is full of Irish who contracept, tolerate abortion, tolerate fornication, love New Age heresies, and do not believe in hell, but universal salvation. This falling away is the direct result of three generations of laxity among the lay people refusing to learn their own faith and be adult Catholics. People get what they vote for, and the god of socialism has blinded many. I have had discussions with even Latin Mass Catholics who deny that the popes of the last 150 years have condemned socialism

    The rot set in when the Republic was formed.

  12. Bosco says:

    “Catholic” pro-aborts here in Ireland are taking solace from a publicly posted theological musing by a Fordham University Professor, Charles Camosy, who has recently wondered whether unborn babies might be justifiably aborted using the ‘unjust aggressor’ rationale.

    Just thinking out loud, so he is.

    The LifeSiteNews link is here:

  13. Raymond says:

    Does anyone know how the Catholic bishops of Poland during the Communist regime–Wyszinski, Wojtyla, etc–dealt with laws like these back in their days? Were they heroic or did they cave in?

  14. Supertradmum says:

    Bosco, I saw that. Thanks. But money and comfort are always the real reasons why middle class women abort-not convenient; the aggressor argument is not new as NOW in the states used it years ago-the parasite in the body argument, which is disgusting.

  15. Supertradmum says:

    Raymond, as in most Soviet countries, the real Church went underground. Just read Bl John Paul II.s biography for a start and the biography of Cardinal Primate of Poland, Stefan Wyszy?ski This will happen in Ireland, England, America-the real Catholics will go underground. It has all happened before.

  16. Supertradmum says:

    opps sorry for ? the accent did not come out. Name is Wyszynski. He and others like Josef Beran, Archbishop of Prague, German auxiliary bishop of Prague, Johannes Remiger and the famous Cardinal Mindszenty were household words to Catholics growing up in the Cold War. Too bad Catholic schools do not teach real Catholic history, like they use to do.

  17. Supertradmum – “The rot set in when the Republic was formed.” – if Ireland had remained under English occupation we may very well have had abortion legalised here when it was legalised in Britain. Her Majesty did not object to the slaughter of her British subjects then nor has she since.

    The rot set in when mankind fell – we are always turning on the innocent and vulnerable. The Pro-life war is not over in Ireland. Some of our politicians are in for a nasty surprise at the next election and some of our bishops will be invited to find a backbone.

  18. Johnno says:

    You mean that Consecration to Mary’s Immaculate Heart of ‘unspecified country’ without ‘unspecified country’s Bishop’s participation didn’t do anything? Will wonders never cease?

  19. Supertradmum says:

    Bro. Tom Forde, if you study the early Republicanism movement, you will see a heavy influence of Marxism. The state set up here was completely secular, as it did not have to be, and I was not referring to the Brits at all. When the Irish take responsibility for their own mess instead of blaming others, things could be a lot better. As to the next election, I suggest you poll the voters under the age of 35. The vast majority are pro-abortion.

    A friend of mine is getting a medical degree here in Dublin. He is not Irish. All, he said, all the young men and women in his year who are Irish are not only pro-abortion, but pro-contraception. I go to daily Mass either at the Carmelites in Clarendon Street or at Whitefriars. I pass hundreds of young Irish men and women on Grafton Street or Stephen or George’s Street shopping, smoking, and not going to Mass. I am one of the younger ones at Mass, which is rather amazing.

    I think the Irish older population who did not pass the faith on to their children and grandchildren are living in la-la land. As to the hierarchy, all the good Irish I talk to say they are weak and will stay weak, except for one or two.

    When I attended the huge rally in December of 2012, the students I was standing with were from Scotland, Poland, Singapore. I was happy to see all those people but nothing came of it-no follow up-no petition at the time which could have gathered 500,000 signatures. I went to the rosary recently outside the Dail. Only TWO priests were there and about 120 lay people.

    Well said, Brother Tom. Well said indeed.
    I wont expand on your observations as I don’t want to be the cause of leading anyone away from the more immediate topic posted by Father Z.

  21. Kathleen10 says:

    Moro, your comment about nasty protesters gives me a thought I have had regularly. I often see people cite the necessity of being polite, friendly, civil, etc., when one is acting as a defender of the faith in some way, as if, people are not open to hearing or understanding the truth without a sufficient measure of pleasantry delivered with the message. It stumps me, frankly. I mean, of course it is a good idea to be “nice”, but, it seems like useless propaganda, that admonition to always be pleasant or the message, whatever it is, will not be accepted by the listener. There is always this expectation that we must be perpetually pleasant when promoting hard truths. This is heard in the political sphere as well, and too many GOP and conservative members have bought it. Hence we have so much “nice” that nobody wants to speak frankly anymore. It’s too “harsh”. It’s a ploy by the enemy, and very effective, because it dampens the fire in the belly that adds force to opinion. Must we pray “This action or speech is unpopular, please God, help me to be congenial when I speak it”? I’m not advocating jerkdom, I’m just saying that pleasant thing is a red herring.
    I’m sad Ireland is caving in to Satan. Very sad. The land of my grandfather’s birth, Cork! I had ideas of visiting someday, but, I live in the states so I can see the Land of the Lost right here. The Ireland I dreamed of is gone. The race to the bottom. We’re all in it, whether or not we want to be. We are dragged along with everyone who wants to be in the race, and win.
    And the color of the sky. They can explain it all they want. Those types of things portend. Not always, but any christian worth his salt should be able to read that one.

  22. Seamus says:

    So “pro-choice” now means pro-compulsion? George Orwell, please call your office.

  23. Moro says:

    Kathleen10 – Let me clarify what I mean by being nice. I am in no way suggesting we compromise the truth. I don’t hang out in front of Planned Parenthood but I’ve seen a lot of this as there is a clinic next to the grocery store I shop at. I’m pro-life but the people outside don’t know that. 90% of the time they are just praying, passing out literature, etc. That’s appropriate Christian witness.

    However, I have personally witnessed, as a passerby, a woman follow and yell at someone going into the clinic. There was recently a news story on an abortion clinic in Jackson, MS where one of the regular protestor has a megaphone and basically yells at everyone and often, nobody in particular. This are unnecessary, ineffective and perhaps even uncharitable tactics, they make prolifers and Catholics look like complete lunatics. That is what I think backfires. That is what must stop.

  24. Supretradmum – My reading of Irish Republican history (my family was and still is involved) lead me to see that it began as a very varied movement and some of it was socialist. It couldn’t help but be given the levels of poverty in Ireland and across Europe. Still how many revolutionary movements in Europe prayed the rosary – the Irish did? Whilst in the past some were keen to blame Britain for every ill most Irish know who to blame. Yes most young professionals are pro-abortion (in public) but after twelve years working with teenagers I that the majority are not so definite and many are against abortion when they know the whole story. As a University chaplain said me to recently ‘there are a lot of Nicodemuses’ .

    As I have argued before one cannot judge a whole nation from one perspective. I was at the biggest ever rally outside the Dail during the Summer – most of those I saw were Irish – ordinary Irish. There is a sleeping giant in this country that will awake. Mr. Kenny and his gang may just have kicked it.

  25. netokor says:

    “This are unnecessary, ineffective and perhaps even uncharitable tactics, they make prolifers and Catholics look like complete lunatics. That is what I think backfires. That is what must stop.”

    Kathleen 10, the quote above is the advice Jesus desperately needed before he overturned the moneychangers’ tables–not! I wholeheartedly agree with you.

    Moro, Jesus must have looked like a “lunatic” also, but he probably converted many through his outrage against evil. Children are butchered, but we must comport ourselves as if nothing were happening–right! We break no laws, but we are entitled to express the truth and sometimes shouting is in order when lives are at stake.

  26. Johnno says:

    There comes a limit to being ‘nice’ and ‘civil.’ Oftentimes the most civil thing to do is to violently oppose grave evil.

    May God grant us the Gift of Discernment to know when to strike down and when to heal.

    They are already debating murdering children up to 3 years of age. And some people shall willfully go along with it.–9R0I2Q&feature=player_embedded

    So when the day inevitably arrives where you literally see people carrying their newborn and 3 year old children into ‘4th Trimester’ clinics, what shall our ‘nice courteous response’ be?

    Let’s just admit that it is we who are weak. We are unwilling to do what is necessary, because we DO NOT LOVE anyone enough to do difficult things out of necessity. We don’t fight because our lives are too comfortable. We are, it seems making excuses for ourselves, and saying it’s because we are humble, when in fact, we are scared when gazing at these walls of Jericho and the gigantic inhabitants of Canaan. This is why we need a leader, and why it was the Papacy who saved the Western World by taking charge and calling for the Holy Crusade. The Church Militant has been effectively neutered, all according to the original Communist plan.

  27. Ben Kenobi says:

    “Many are quite friendly and harmless but then you get people who, despite being pro-life, are down right nasty.”

    I’m not quite sure how one would define being nasty? An abortion clinic kills thousands every year. Isn’t that considered to be nasty? See, what I see is that folks who complain that prolifers are being ‘nasty’, ‘unpleasant’, etc all believe that abortion doesn’t kill a person. More prolifers have been assaulted injured, etc than the converse.

  28. lucindatcm says:

    I will walk off my shift before I participate in that horror. I am not a nurse yet; I’ve got a year before I can practice as an RN. I can’t imagine any Catholic nurse (and there are a number of them that go to my parish) or Catholic doctor (I know one or two of them too) participating in that procedure.

The Big Wrap-Up
Where To Buy
We spend all these hours working on our cars as a present to ourselves. That is why many enthusiasts feel that detailing the interior is more important than the body, because that is where we spend most of our time. It would therefore make sense that we take special care that the inside of a car is not neglected.

Interior surfaces can be divided into two basic categories. There is the hard vinyl surfaces (such as the dashboard) and breathable surfaces such as cloth seats.

Vacuuming should be the first step. Use a strong shop or home vacuum. The small ones that plug into a cigar lighter or operate on rechargeable batteries just don't have the power to do the job. Remove the floor mats and do them separately. Vacuum all areas, including those that you will soon be cleaning with a liquid cleaner. Use a brush attachment for areas that could be marred with an impact from a hard edged attachment.

Simple Green
The hard vinyl surfaces are easy. We use Simple Green, commonly available at department stores, etc. Dilute the with one part concentrate to eight parts water; go heavier (up to one part concentrate to two parts water) for stubborn stains. Drench a cloth in the mixture and then apply liberally to a section about 1' x 2' or less. Quickly follow up by wiping down with a microfiber towel. Note: Do not use Simple Green on metal surfaces.

Seats, out of the car If you can, remove the seats of the car whenever you do a thorough interior detail. You'll have excellent access when it comes to vacuuming and cleaning the seats and the rest of the interior. Unfortunately, it isn't practical to remove the seats in some cars, so you'll have to work around it.

Custom Search

Floor mats are easy. Just remove them and whale away at them with the hose as part of the exterior wash job. In most cases you'll get all of the dirt out. If not, apply carpet cleaner and work it with a brush. Clean the vinyl part of the drivers mat with Simple Green or your chosen equivalent. Do not treat that area with a dressing! It could be picked up by the driver's shoes and cause slipping problems when they work the pedals. Floor mat washing

Bissell Green Machine Recommended for interiors: Bissel makes this "Little Green Machine" and it's great for cloth surfaces. It works by supplying a detergent spray followed by a wet vacuum. A tip: always use hot water; a microwave oven will heat it up fine. This model is fine for occasional home use, but professionals will want an industrial strength version. Some models include provisions for heating up the water.
Next apply a good grade foam carpet cleaner to the cloth and carpet areas. Vacuuming first is necessary as that will pick up the loose dirt, which is probably most of the job. Next work in the foam with a brush, using being careful not to be so aggressive as to ruin the surface. Pick up the foam residue with a wet/dry vacuum (best) or a cloth.

Serious stains and other problems can be treated with a household carpet cleaner such as Resolve. First try the procedure on a hidden area to be sure that the color is not affected.

Carpet cleaner

Meguiar's Plastic polish, cleaner Left: Maguiar's plastic polish (#10) and cleaner (#17). It is important that clear plastic surfaces, such as gauge face windows and plastic rear windows on convertibles, be treated with non-abrasive cleaner and polish. Should they occur, scratches will be readily apparent on those surfaces. Always use a microfiber towel when treating such surfaces.

Lexol leather conditioner and cleaner is recommended for leather interiors. Keep in mind that most cars with "Leather" are really only "Leather seating surfaces", which means that there is little real leather. Most of the interior, especially consoles, arm rests, seat backs and door panels are vinyl made to simulate leather.

Leather requires essential oils to keep its luster. Start with the cleaner and work it in gently with minimal water on the applicator. After applying the cleaner, rinse your applicator and wipe down again, then towel dry. Use the same procedure to apply the conditioner. Do several applications of conditioner (as opposed to one heavy one) if you feel that the leather needs more work. Leather might add that extra touch of class to a cars interior, but it does require more maintenance than vinyl or cloth. A car with a leather interior should be garaged or covered when not in use for maximum longevity.

Lexol leather cleaner, conditioner

Q tip on HVAC vent There is a reason they call it detailing. Work a q-tip into the HVAC vents with some of the Simple Green solution applied followed with a pass with a dry q-tip. It may seem like a detailing cliche, but it works. It's the sort of thing that will go a long way towards making your interior look "right", although it might not be obvious until after the job is done.

Don't leave coins on the seat. Doing so can cause premature wear of the material. Coins on seating surface

Interior part removal Looking to do a top notch, trophy gathering detail job on your interior? Consider removing parts whenever possible. In this case we are taking apart the door sill plate. We then clean the sill plate and the plastic trim piece that went over it with Simple Green. The painted body surface, the edge trim, even the screws is cleaned. The advantage is that dirt that is difficult to see (along the edges, for example) is dealt with. In this case the door sill is a prime candidate for such treatment as it is in an area that is highly visible.

Rhode Island Energy Efficiency Expo

I had the opportunity to visit the energy expo sponsored by the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources. It was a small setup, with about 30-40 booths inside the ballroom, several BioDiesel vehicles and a fuel cell powered Model T in the carport, and a biodiesel powered tractor-trailer with a travelling museum display about the history of the Northern woodlands and woodland products, industries, livelihoods of New York and New England.

The most interesting thing that I saw and spoke with a one of the booth staff about was the BioHeating Oil. Currently certified for use by UL in oil furnaces is a B5 blend, meaning 5% vegetable or soy oil with 95% traditional home heating oil. The representative (from hudsonecofuel (website in beta, it will be up soon I was assured) was confident that it was only a matter of time before B10, B15 and B20 blends were certified by UL for use in furnaces, just as occurred in BioDiesel blends. Unfortunately, I was unable to stay until 3pm when the gentleman from the booth was to give a presentation.

I didn't ask about the composition, but I got the impression that generally the blend is being made from virgin soybean oil, though they did have samples of used fryolator oil and the cleaned and refined cooking oil.

Only three vendors are offering BioHeating oil in the state right now. One of them has B100 (100% oil from vegetable sources), which you can then custom blend in the tank to get whatever blend the homeowner is comfortable with. The only warning he had however, was that it was best to start with a B5 blend, as the vegetable oil acts as a solvent. This is a problem for older oil storage tanks due to the debris that collects in the tank over time from the bacteria that are naturally found in heating oil settling out. The vegetable oil starts to break this down and can cause the filter to clog as the tank cleans out. His recommendation was to have a spare filter on hand, and run B5 for a month before upping the blend to B10 up to B20 by managing the amount of BioHeating oil delivered.

So, lesson - make sure to have a spare filter on hand, you will clog the filter when switching to a fuel with a Bio component.

I didn't get any information on pricing compared to traditional heating oil.

The companies offering BioHeating Oil in Rhode Island:
T.H. Malloy
White Fuel
Guardian Fuel and Energy Systems

I also spoke with a woman at the New England GreenStart booth. They have a heating oil cost assistance program that anyone who chooses them as their electricity generator (not deliverer, thats going to be National Grid). The idea is that while a consumer may pay slightly more for their electricity, through People's Discount Heating Oil Service, the increased electricity cost can be offset with with discounts on home heating oil at 15 to 30 cents/gallon. Membership is $20/year in the program. When signing up, the consumer is paired with a participating oil provider, including a BioHeating Oil option.

Otherwise, there were the usual fair of energy efficiency products on display: Windows, hot water heater, solar hot water heaters, PV systems, ground water heat exchange, home energy and air infiltration testing. The local energy utility, National Grid, had a large number of booths, advocating home energy efficiency testing, appliance purchase assistance for more energy efficient appliances.

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie slugger Yasiel Puig does things just a little bit differently than the average major league ballplayer. Say, who wants to be average, anyway?

With teammates waiting to playfully pound on him, Puig finished off his first career game-ending home run trot by sliding into the plate in the 11th inning Sunday. Unconventional, sure, but not unprecedented, and a seemingly appropriate way to celebrate a 1-0 victory against the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium.

Reds pitchers accumulated a team-record 20 strikeouts against the Dodgers, with Puig among four batters who struck out three times. But not against right-hander Curtis Partch, Cincy's third reliever to follow Tony Cingrani. After connecting, Puig flipped his bat melodramatically and raised his arms like Richard Nixon before rounding first.

(NEWSER) – Dropping your cellphone into a toilet is unfortunate—but in China, it can be tragic. A young woman dropped her new phone into an open-pit toilet Wednesday in Xinxiang city, Henan, and two people died after one attempted to retrieve it. The woman's husband was the first to jump into the knee-deep cesspool to try and find the $320 phone, but he started having difficulty breathing and fainted, the South China Morning Post reports, citing a local newspaper. His mother then jumped in after him, and the same fate befell her. Both died of suffocation, and more were injured when others followed in an attempt to save them.

Listen to Little Big Town on iHeartRadio

Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild says they had a blast writing their current single, "Day Drinking."  But the country star admits they didn't really know how good the song was until they heard a makeshift demo their co-writers put together.

The band's Jimi Westbrook adds that he was pretty curious about how the song turned out, because it was so much fun to write.

"Day Drinking" is the lead-off single from Little Big Town's upcoming album, Painkiller.  The disc is the group's follow up to 2012's "Tornado."  A release date for the project hasn't been announced yet.
