(The hermeneutics piece will appear tomorrow).
I was with the warriors who will be at ground zero in New York tomorrow, for their prophetic witness, challenging the RELIGION OF PEACE to demonstrate they are the RELIGION OF PEACE. If the RELIGION OF PEACE is truly what it claims to be, the Imam who wants to build a mosque near ground Zero will take up Randall Terry’s challenge and denounce Hamas, renounce all violence against Christians and Jews world wide, and to condemn the death threats made against Mr. Terry and others who have stood up and protested the RELIGION OF PEACE violence towards those who disagree with them.
There are those who want to placate the religion of peace, and have verbalized many concerns about the potential for ‘violence’ when making any statements or challenges of those who hold onto these practices. It is very Ironic that this Imam can have the audacity to make a veiled threat to Obama and this country pertaining to the possibility of moving the location of the proposed Mosque, then turn around and state he is for the freedoms of this country, and supposedly loves it. Then, Mr. Imam, declare publicly, you believe that in this country, the first amendment takes precedence over Sharia law, and grants all American citizens GOD GIVEN rights.
Mr. Terry has sent emails, letters and phone calls to this Imam, and they have gone unanswered. What harm would come, if this Imam believes his own rhetoric pertaining to ‘tolerance’ and wanting ‘peace’ if he will not renounce the violence of many in the RELIGION OF PEACE, and insist upon building a Mosque on grounds that were destroyed by fellow travelers of the RELIGION OF PEACE? This Imam, like many from the RELIGION OF PEACE want it both ways: to have their way imposed on non Muslims, while simultaneously pretending to be ‘tolerant of differing belief systems and for those who do not believe in their way of life. It is a scam, and there is no better word for it.
The Insurrecta Nex team is risking much for the sake of engaging the majority in this country to look at this RELIGION OF PEACE and is openly challenging those in the RELIGION OF PEACE to back up their words with deeds. Those in the RELIGION OF PEACE so far, have responded with threats against these people, and have taken their anger out on other Christians in other nations. Not only does this show great intolerance, and violence, that antithesis of peace, but cowardice. They do not at all want peace, nor do they want to ‘tolerate’ any political system other than Sharia. (Ask those in Minnesota) Everything else they may claim is a bald faced lie.
If these people truly represent a RELIGION OF PEACE they would immediately denounce all death threats against anyone disagreeing with their ways. They would immediately denounce Hamas and any in the RELIGION OF PEACE that openly advocates the destruction of Israel. They would immediately denounce violence against Jews and Christians, and they would denounce the cowardly suicide/homicide bombers that plague this world. The RELIGION OF PEACE would be very aware of their tainted and violent reputation, and would clean up their act immediately, so as to insure others would actually take their claims of being a RELIGION OF PEACE seriously.
So, let the denouncing begin. Let’s see if these people are serious, and see if they have the ability or tolerance to act as they claim to believe. Let’s see if they rid themselves of the violence and intolerance of many of their believers and governments advocate as the ‘law of their land’. Let’s see if they come onto our land and attempt to ‘terrorize’ us into compliance with their intolerant ways. I don’t believe they will, and they very well may target these brave men showing up at Ground Zero. It will only prove they are lead by a master, hell bent on destruction.

"THE JUVENILE" IS AT IT AGAIN
George Offerman
“If you stop telling lies about me, I’ll stop telling the truth about you”
Gordon Gekko, Wall Street: Money never sleeps
Troy “the juvenile” Newman is up to his tricks again. It seems that Troy ‘the juvenile’ Newman cannot help himself and stop his personal attacks, that are baseless and needless, in an attempt to make whatever point he is trying to make. Reading the juvenile’s press releases is reminiscent of grade school playground behavior, and it is becoming much more difficult to take this guy seriously. The juvenile claims to be one of the ‘national leaders’ of the pro life movement, and with people like the juvenile at the helm, it is very understandable to see why we are getting creamed in this war. Press release follows:
Operation Rescue makes statement that Randall Terry does not speak or have any affiliation with their organization
October 4, 2010
Group responds to Mr. Terry's plans to rip pages of the Qur'an
Washington, DC - Operation Rescue has released the following statement:
Randall Terry will be sponsoring events around the country in which pages of the Qur'an will be ripped or thrown on the ground. Operation Rescue wants to make it clear we do not condone these activities and the actions of Randall Terry in no one way speak for Operation Rescue.
After founding Operation Rescue, Randall Terry stepped down as its leader in the spring of 1990. For the past 20 years, the Rescue Movement has moved forward independently from the actions and direction of Mr. Terry. During those 20 years, Mr. Terry has chosen a path that has included negative lifestyle choices, financial mismanagement, misleading donors, and bizarre media events which in no way reflect the core principles of Operation Rescue.
Those core principles are ending the horror and violence of abortion, seeing that women are not diminished and scarred through abortion, affirming human rights for children in their mother's womb and honoring Jesus Christ by loving the most needy in our society.
Randall Terry's recent projects, such as the Nancy Pelosi burn in hell video, hanging and beating an effigy of Senator Lindsey Graham, sponsoring a "Burn the Qur'an Solidarity Rally" and now ripping pages of the Qur'an reflect the actions of a desperate person who is more interested in self-promotion and headlines than building a culture of life.
We would respectfully ask that the media makes sure to clearly state that Randall Terry has no connection with Operation Rescue and he is not affiliated with the organization.
One may wonder why I started this post with a quote from a fictional character. Well, this is rather elementary, when one considers the nature of the statement, in which Troy ‘the juvenile’ Newman makes baseless and unprovable statements to discredit Mr. Terry, because the juvenile is not making the headlines and getting the attention that a supposed national leader would get if he was actually in the war. The juvenile’s accusations are as much fiction as Gordon Gekko is, except Gordon Gekko seems to ‘get it’ about his situation, unlike the juvenile. If we take the fiction analogy further, we would get into how much fiction the juvenile used in obtaining the trademark of the organization known as operation rescue. If the juvenile is really as great as he thinks he is, he would use a name that is more reflective of his accomplishments instead of needing to steal an identity and accomplishments from another.
Yes, the juvenile is well versed in fiction, except in real life we call his tactics and behavior fraud and slander. But the juvenile lives in his own world of make believe, in which he is the hero, and all who dare question him in the least are the villains. The juvenile believes he can slander another, which by the way is sinful behavior, and come out looking like the good guy who has God ‘on my side”. The juvenile has his own ‘dirty laundry’ but has used lies, deception and character slander, such as making accusations and alleging others have diagnosed ‘mental illnesses’ that somehow he was able to access, and then publicize. The juvenile also has his share of critics that have stated the juvenile has taken credit for the accomplishments of other pro life groups when the juvenile did little to nothing in making this happen.
There are other ways the juvenile could have written the memo above, but it appears the juvenile either has no ability to ‘tone it down, and leave out personal attacks’ or has an axe to grind. Either way, the juvenile is showing the true nature of his character. And the more he exposes these character flaws, the more unbecoming the juvenile looks as a supposed national leader, as well as personally. He and Gordon Gekko would get along very well.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
George Offerman
Now that we know the BP oil spill did not usher in the end of the world, and we now know that it also did not qualify as the second trumpet (big surprise there), where are all the ‘prophets and seers’ that so confidently alluded to this event being ‘prophetic’ in nature? (None of them PREDICTED this event) it is this disingenuousness (and in some cases outright fraud) that is harming the name of Christianity and God, and to speak as a prophet when one is not is one of the gravest sins one can commit. There are a boat load of people out there that have to make it right with God and with their fellow man, with whom they may have lead astray. I stated earlier I was not going to let them get away with this, but I will not use names (at least at this time). This does nothing but harm our faith, and leads many astray.
I want to make it perfectly clear that I have not, nor do I now, claim to be a prophet. I have never had visions, locutions, dreams, heard voices telling me things or even allusions to the manifestations of any spirit being that has told me anything about the future. I am a former Seminarian who was trained in the proper method of hermeneutics and have been a diligent student of the Bible for some decades. What I know is what ANYONE can know, but they must be diligent and persevere in their studies to learn and apply these methods. Unfortunately, for many of these ‘sensationalist prognosticators’, they are intellectually lazy and let pride get in the way of seeking the truth. Then when they are proven wrong, they make up any excuse, and often attack those pointing out their errors. Yes, the sign of GREAT INTEGRITY.
These prognosticators have resubmerged, and will reappear at the next media reported event. They will use ‘fractured scriptures’ to make some peripheral allusion and attempt to fit current events into the Biblical schematic of the end times. These events will not meet the criteria necessary to qualify, yet they don’t have enough intellectual integrity to see they are using relativistic thought processes and applying them to absolute truth. They think they have the intellectual firepower and ‘God given’ knowledge to ‘over ride’ some of the prophetic features, and leave out those pieces of prophecy that do not fit into the event, all at their discretion. They are very keen at self promotion, and very quick to judge and condemn those who ‘dare’ to question them. They do not want to be held accountable for their ‘misses’ and continue to claim “God is talking’ to them despite the errors.
As stated previously, prophecy is in the Bible, and is a written record of the future before it happens. This written record is not ‘partially true’ or ‘mostly true’, it is TOTALLY true. God doesn’t reveal in some sort of code, and leave it up to us to determine what is gong to happen. In terms of Revelation, there are 14 very distinct events, and they are numbered by trumpets and bowls. Since God knows how to count, it is not He who is confused about the times we live in, it is us. These 14 events are cosmic in nature, and thus, cannot be man made. (Yes, there are plenty of man made events, but the events of Revelation are not such events). This is so basic, that a chimpanzee taught to read would come to this conclusion. Yet there are those who want to distort very clear prophecies into something they are not, and then brag about how much they think they know.
Yes, there has been a great increase in spiritual manifestations and many have claimed to receiving messages from this realm. However, these messages cannot contradict Biblical principles and prophecies, and be God given. Much discernment must be done in matters of eschatological significance, and this cannot be taken lightly. This is where discipline has broken down, and there are those who make outrageous claims without contemplating the ramifications of their actions. One has to rely on Biblical principles to be the defining judge of most of the messages forwarded now a days. But this requires some solid education on how to read the Bible, and then apply it successfully, even if it means disqualifying the event as non prophetic.
I keep going back to gravity as an example, but gravity is a clear metaphor in making this point. Everyone understands gravity, so if someone made a point to step off a tall building, everyone would be aware of the outcome, the person hitting the ground at a high rate of speed. This is not prophecy, but principle. Prophecy would be predicting who would jump, when they would do it, where this would take place, and the outcome of the event (death or surviving). Applying Biblical principles is very distinct from prophesying and one ought to stay in this realm if one is clear they are not a prophet (which the vast majority is not). This leads to anti sensationalism, but also leads to clearer and predictable outcomes, which is what God wants for us anyway.
So for those who insist they ‘know better’: you would be way better off keeping your mouth shut, and spend more time listening, praying, reading and learning than starting trouble you are not up to dealing with. And at least have the integrity to go to those whom you fed this tainted information, and ask for their forgiveness, and learn from your behavior. Life is difficult enough and people don’t need to be unnecessarily burdened by drivel that has no chance in hell of ever being accurate and happening. It will only lead to disenchantment and distain for Biblical knowledge, something that God definitely does not want to happen.

PREPARATION
George Offerman
I was considering writing about this topic for some time, but due to the present circumstances, I decided I could put it off no longer. The precious metals markets are ‘blowing through’ highs on a daily basis, and it seems to be the cartel is either on the verge of losing control, or already has, and bad things are potentially imminent. It does not please me at all to see these turning of events. In fact, I am quite nervous, and had hoped these things I have discussed over the previous months, and have been studying for a few decades now would not occur during my time here. If what we are seeing is true to form, the clock has struck midnight, and the nightmare is soon to commence.
There are many good articles on preparation, and this posting will be similar, but written from an experiential perspective, as I have done everything I am writing about. Preparation is not just about getting ‘stuff in order’; it also has a much larger component, which involves a PURPOSE in surviving and thriving in difficult times. Surviving for the sake of surviving will not leave anyone with any sort of peace, nor will it spur them on to create a better place than what they were given. One must prepare psychologically and spiritually, as well as materially for difficult times; otherwise, one may not make it very far into these new times ready to visit us.
Without first accepting the fact that things can get that bad, one will not act on any of this information. The only way that one can be prepared psychologically, is to first have a spiritual foundation, which incorporates daily communication with God, prayer, reading of scriptures, being well versed in Biblical principles, and having the ability to see these principles play themselves out in the real world. This has been going on for some time, yet the mainstream Christian has been in denial, and has persecuted those trying to warn others about these matters by mockery and derision. It is only their own ignorance of basic principles that is really reflected in their derision of those who dare wake them from their comatose existence.
One has to be willing to detach themselves from everything they think they know, including any material possessions that will interfere in having to ‘get out of Dodge’ in a moment’s notice. The way of things as we have known them is ready to change, and we need to be prepared. So the first and foremost task of preparation is spiritual. We need to pray, and train ourselves to hear the voice of God and be ready to act on this, regardless of what seems to be very negative consequences. When spiritual preparedness takes place, there will be a psychological preparedness, which will come in the form of acceptance, peace, and action. The action will be purpose driven and will have specific goals and objectives to be met.
The greatest need will be water, food, shelter and clothing, in that order. One cannot live but mere days without water, and securing water in a panic may be nearly impossible. Water can be purchased in 5 gallon containers that will last for years, for about $19. The easiest preparation for water is to secure plastic garbage cans with tight fitting lids, which can be filled by a garden hose easily. Rain barrels under gutters are another possibility, and are easy to find and purchase. Then one needs to have UNSCENTED bleach to purify rain water, or other water that may be found in an emergency. Digging a well may be a possibility, but not practical. A water purification system would be the best, but may not be financially viable for many. Berkey makes the best, but is pricey.
Food wise, the best bang for the buck is bulk rice, purchased for about $15 for 50lb bag. Make sure you have a container that will keep all sorts of ‘wildlife’ out. Canned bulk foods are the next bargain, and any dried goods, like pasta will work on a pinch. (Remember to buy spices for the food too). If one has the means, there are online stores that sell MRE’s (meals ready to eat) as well as freeze dried foods good for up to 30 years storage. My favorite site is www.survivormall.com All of the food items should be kept in a cool dark place if possible, and rotated as needed.
The topic of shelter has two components to it: preparing your home if you plan, or have to stay in the area, or having an alternative location to go to if things go south. Flashlights, candles, first aid kit, medicine, clothing, cook stove and heating source if possible and rudimentary self defense items are necessary to assure success if staying in an urban location. Many have cautioned that using a generator, or having alternative power sources could make a home a magnet for what could be roving bands of thugs if hunger and thirst become prevalent. Having a 3 day ‘emergency’ backpack for each person in the home is necessary, in case the need to abandon the primary residence is imperative.
If an alternative location is arranged, you must be sure you can get to it, and if there are not others there waiting for you, you must be prepared to deal with ‘squatters’ who may have found your stash and would be prepared to fight you for it. There are those who argue what is better, staying put, versus trying to get to another location. There are advantages and liabilities for both, but this is what you need to decide. But one ought to be prepared to have to leave either location due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control.
Have a plan in place. Family members ought to know where to meet, and in case of communication breakdown, should wait at a location, or have ways of communicating with each other via signals (spray paint symbols on the property somewhere). Have a wind up radio, and walkie talkies in a metal container (this will protect against an EMP wave). Stick together no matter what, and move together, with proper supplies and…
Last topic of: self defense. This is where one needs to pray and discern as far as the level they are willing to go for self defense. I believe it is true that we have a right to bear arms, but it is also true that if one decides to go this route, they better be prepared to use them, and deal with the consequences. One can get pepper spray for about $8 per 6 spray container. This is very effective in immobilizing an assailant. There are stun guns and tasers that can be purchased, but pricey. One could also take many of the urban self defense courses offered, but again they are pricey. The biggest thing to remember is; fear filled people are dangerous people, and you cannot count on any level of civility during times of crisis, so don’t be surprised if one sees very bad behaviors from individuals who seemed very ‘laid back’ during calmer times. In fact, if YOU don’t prepare, YOU could be one of those thugs. We are all capable of the most despicable behavior, and don’t you think differently.

Family members ought to know where to meet, and in case of communication breakdown, should wait at a location, or have ways of communicating with each other via signals (spray paint symbols on the property somewhere). Have a wind up radio, and walkie talkies in a metal container (this will protect against an EMP wave). Stick together no matter what, and move together, with proper supplies and…
Last topic of: self defense. This is where one needs to pray and discern as far as the level they are willing to go for self defense. I believe it is true that we have a right to bear arms, but it is also true that if one decides to go this route, they better be prepared to use them, and deal with the consequences. One can get pepper spray for about $8 per 6 spray container. This is very effective in immobilizing an assailant. There are stun guns and tasers that can be purchased, but pricey. One could also take many of the urban self defense courses offered, but again they are pricey. The biggest thing to remember is; fear filled people are dangerous people, and you cannot count on any level of civility during times of crisis, so don’t be surprised if one sees very bad behaviors from individuals who seemed very ‘laid back’ during calmer times. In fact, if YOU don’t prepare, YOU could be one of those thugs. We are all capable of the most despicable behavior, and don’t you think differently.

SEVEN CITIES FOR "HEAR MUHAMMED SPEAK"
Insurrecta Nex
This is an announcement of events sponsored by Terrycast.com and Insurrecta Nex in addressing the Islamic questions and concerns of this nation. While there are those who are attempting to sell Islam as a RELIGION OF PEACE, these same people are sending not so subtle messages that we ‘better comply, or else…” and the supposed ‘moderates’ in the RELIGION OF PEACE are staying silent. If the RELIGION OF PEACE is truly a RELIGION OF PEACE, they should have NO DIFFICULTY in others looking at, and questioning their motives in their very contradictory behavior.
Please read through this whole announcement, and seriously consider joining the efforts in any of these locations, or do your own “Hear Mohammed Speak” event in your location. Information to do this is listed in the press release. I am absolutely sure that the RELIGION OF PEACE would love to dialogue with the Christian Majority of this country, and I am absolutely sure that they can refrain from any threats of any kind, because they are a PEACEFUL PEOPLE. Let’s see how they do.
From Randall Terry:
Dear Friend,
We currently have 7 cities in which a "Hear Muhammad Speak" event will take place. The list is below in the press release that just went out.
We ask you to PLEASE join us in our novena of Rosaries; remember, October 7 is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, to commemorate the Christian victory at Lepanto in 1571 against the Muslim navy.
I also ask you to pray about holding an event in your city. All the training you need is at www.TerryCast.com at "Hear Muhammad Speak."
Finally, if you believe in this project, I beg your help financially if at all possible. In addition to rents and utilities now due, we have the expenses of signs, travel to and from NYC, and multiple press releases. It ads up quickly! Any gift you give is greatly needed, and deeply appreciated. Click here to give.
What follows is the press release that just went out throughout America, and to news agencies around the world. Now we need to pay for them! Click here to give.
God bless you. Please, join us in prayer!

For immediate release:
“Hear Muhammad Speak” at Ground Zero Mosque, CAIR National Headquarters in Washington DC.
On October 6 and 7, in seven U.S. cities, American Christians to read, discuss and discard passages of Sharia law, the Quran, and the Hadith (words of Muhammad not in Quran) in which Muhammad calls for the murder, beheading, torture, execution and more of Christians, Jews, and Muslim “apostates” who leave Islam.
Cities listed below.
Dateline: Washington DC

Contact: Katherine Veritas, 904 687 9804
Complete Details at: www.terrycast.com click on “Hear Muhammad Speak.”
Randall Terry states: “We will ask NYC Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, and the leaders of CAIR to tell Americans plainly if they support these passages of Sharia law, and if they support the various death sentences issued by Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
“One of our goals is to urge Americans to study the words and deeds of Muhammad. Americans are concerned about Sharia law, which is good; we must connect the dots between the Quran, the traditions of Muhammad, and Sharia law.”
Examples of the passages:
“I have been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that no one but Allah is worshipped, Allah who put my livelihood under the shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those who disobey my orders.” Muhammad (quoted by Osama bin Laden)
Sharia Law punishment for Muslims who "apostatize:"
The Hanafites: “If he needs time to reconsider, it is desirable that the judge allow him a three-day extension, during which he is to remain in custody. If he accepts Islam thereafter, it is good; if not, he is to be killed, for Allah says to ‘kill those who believe in many gods’ (Sura al-Tawba 9:5), without fixing a deadline. The Prophet also said, ‘Kill him who changes his religion,’ without mentioning a delay, because the apostate is surely a hostile unbeliever.”
Muhammad’s call for the death of those who satirize him:
A prominent Jew named K’ab “composed amatory verses of an insulting nature about the Muslim women.” Muhammad said: ‘Who will rid me of [K’ab]?’ Muhammad said, ‘I will deal with him for you, oh apostle of God, I will kill him.’ He [Muhammad] said, ‘Do so if you can.’” (ibn Ishaq)

HERMENEUTICS 101: ABRAHAM'S CHOICE
George Offerman
The story of Abraham taking Isaac to be sacrificed is one of the most important stories, which is heavily eschatological in its meaning. This event, most likely ‘sealed the deal’ between God and Abraham, when God promised to make his descendents as numerous as the stars in the sky, and grains of dust on the earth. It challenged Abraham to act in faith, as he was told to kill his only son, and from human understanding, would have ended his line of descendents. This also foreshadowed God’s decision to allow His only begotten son to face execution, for the salvation of all who accept Him.
In Genesis 22, Abraham is asked: “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer hem there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” Humanly speaking, Abraham must have been devastated by this request, but the story continues on with Abraham complying with God’s request. Abraham used his free will to comply, and in this story, demonstrated the meaning of walking in faith. Abraham complied with this seemingly ‘irrational’ request, because he trusted in the Word of God, and believed with out seeing.
The story continues with Abraham building an altar and preparing a fire. Isaac made an inquiry pertaining to the sacrificial ‘lamb’ and Abraham answered “God will provide”. The story then states Abraham tied up Isaac and placed him on this altar. What is not stated in the story, but left for matters of faith, is any struggle that took place between Abraham and Isaac. It would seem that Isaac went along with this demand by his father with strict obedience. This story reflects back almost exactly what God the Father would Ask God the Son to do, yet God the Father spared Abraham and Isaac the pain of actual death.
God’s angel appears to Abraham, and tells him to “lay no hand on the lad, or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me”. Abraham’s love for God exceeded virtually everything on this earth, and Abraham modeled the perfect love that God has for all of us. This event portends the eventual coming of the messiah, and this event was so powerful, that God identifies himself to prophets after this as the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”. God sees no greater love than one’ laying down his life fro another, and Abraham, despite much personal consternation, was willing to sacrifice what was dearest to him, as to not offend the Lord. How we need to be more like this today.
God then makes a promise to Abraham for the third time. Notice in this third promise, he includes both aspects of the first two promises in one statement: And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, ‘By myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the STARS of heaven AND as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice”” Genesis 22: 16-18
If one notices, God does not acknowledge Ishmael as Abraham’s son when it came to the promises made of inhabiting the lands promised to Abraham’s offspring, but also addresses the issue that Abraham’s going along with Sarah to have a child out of wedlock was a God give solution to God’s promise, and apparent procrastination in keeping his promise. This has hermeneutical relevance, in that we cannot change God’s ultimate plans, but definitely can change the pathway in which God’s will is ultimately fulfilled. The descendants of Ishmael continue to be influential in world matters, and are at the heart of what is known as the RELIGION OF PEACE. As was covered 2 weeks ago, this conflict will continue until the time of the anti Christ.
Abraham proved that walking in faith can have unbelievable positive outcomes, just like taking matters into one’s own hands can have very negative consequences. This story shows how one man’s faith can change the course of history, and it is a lesson that is lost to modern man. It is rare that anyone in the Church will walk in faith, and challenge those to walk beyond their own sight and understanding of the major issues of the day. For instance, most in the pro life movement do not believe the issue can be resolved in one swift move, but done in increments. This is the poison of man’s understanding, and not that of God, who is capable of making anything possible, even with one faithful man. We need to look at this story, and take in the lessons of faith, and apply them to our times. After all, God still exists, and is still the same God that wants salvation for all, regardless of how ‘sophisticated’ we think we are.

FINALLY, A BISHOP WILLING TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS
George Offerman
Bishop Thomas Doran of the Diocese of Rockford, Ill. has come out and made a strong statement concerning the nature of legalized child killing and its related effects upon our society. It is good to finally see someone with ecclesial authority discuss Biblical matters in an appropriate light, and connect the dots in such a way that it ought to be crystal clear to anyone paying the least bit of attention. Now, the follow up from here, ought to be NAMING NAMES of those who are pro child killing, and to promote those willing to change the laws.
Listed below, is part of Bishop Doran’s letter. Notice the language used, in how strong it is and Bishop Doran makes these statements with a great deal of conviction.
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/sep/10092407.html
In our devolving and decaying morally relativistic society, there are many people who regard the killing of a pre-born child as of no consequence whatever. What is hidden from the eyes of the unsuspecting, however, is that not only for its victims but also for its perpetrators and for societies that permit it, allow it and license it, it is extremely dangerous.
All of us are aware of the perilous financial condition into which corrupt politicians of both parties have cast our country. Particularly vexing to our congressional overlords are the so-called entitlements: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other such things as unemployment compensation and various types of government relief. What we are never told is that the reason these entitlements are becoming unbearable for the taxpaying public is that there are fewer and fewer people contributing funds by way of their taxes to support these needed benefits upon which many people in our society have come to rely. Ours is a rapidly aging population because the number of children born into it becomes smaller and smaller and smaller, relative to the size of our country.
Since a pagan Supreme Court, overriding the Christian conscience of centuries, chose to kill children in 1973, millions of them have been butchered without ever seeing the light of day, even for a moment. Abortion also coarsens our moral discourse and brutalizes our people.
It is said that even Nazi Germany was not quite as callous with regard to nascent infant life as our unelected judges have made our country. Abortion has also contributed to the treatment of women as objects, rather than as subjects, of rights and duties, has made us more callous as regards the commission of lesser crimes and is a bullet aimed at the heart of marriage and family life. It has ruined the trust we used to have in doctors, nurses and the health care business. In short, procured abortion may well be the death knell of our society.
As with other forms of wrongful activity sanctioned or winked at by the government, procured abortion is for the killers and those who support them, immensely profitable. Abortuaries are gold mines for their operators. Killer physicians and surgeons, distaining the Hippocratic Oath, travel hundreds of miles to assassinate a few children, and you may be sure that that kind of doctor or nurse does not work for nothing.
One can see without much effort that Bishop Doran is writing about principles that both the Bible and Catholic Church hold as true, and what happens when these principles are violated. Since there are very few willing to discuss the possibility of our country going down the tubes due to the depravity, it is good that someone with some authority is willing to do this. If the average Christian does not bat an eye at legalized child killing, it is not at all surprising that the same average Christian would not see the Judgment of God coming onto our land as a result of these atrocities. Maybe it is to the average Christian: no crime, no punishment. Unfortunately, there are very ‘high crimes’ and punishment is on its way.
Bishop Doran needs to continue in this vein, but now needs to get from behind the cursed 501 c 3 status and name names. Someone in the American Hierarchy needs to have some gonads and be the first to take on this ‘bought silence’ and preach from the pulpit, and street. The truth needs to be out there, and the Hierarchy needs to put its moral authority behind condemnation of all politicians for legalized child killing, and to back, BY NAME, those willing to see the end of this abomination. We have little time, and God is not neutral about this crime.
