The study found that most of the courses were explicitly devotional with almost exclusively Christian, usually Protestant, perspectives.

It also found that most were taught by teachers with no academic training in biblical, religious or theological studies and that they were not familiar with the issues of separation of church and state.

“Some classes denigrate Judaism. Some classes explicitly encourage students to convert to Christianity or to adopt Christian devotional practices,” Chancey said. “This is all well documented, and the board knows it.”

"denigrate Judaism"?? Gospel accounts of plots against Jesus by Jewish leaders at the time??

In each case, the Apocrypha were delineated either in an appendix and/or with an explanation showing them to be non-canonical.

a. Tyndale's Bible (1525 A.D.) places them by themselves as "uninspired."
b.Coverdale's Bible (1535 A.D.) does likewise, and with the following title: "Apocrifa. The bokes & treatises which amonge the Fathers of old are not rekened to be of authorite with the other bokes of the Byble, neither are the foude in the Canon of the Hebrews."
c. Matthew's Bible (1537 A.D.) and Taverner's Bible (1539 A.D.) place the Apocrypha between the Testaments.
d.The Authorized, King James Version (1611), like the Great Bible, (1539 A.D.), the Geneva Bible (1560 A.D.) and the Bishop's Bible (1568 A.D.) before it, places them in an appendix.
Apocrypha began to be omitted from the Authorized Version in 1629, and by 1827 were excluded permanently.

BTW, Bible MAPS are not inspired, crossing out the word "Palestine" and writing in ISRAEL improves many Bible maps.

Yoko Ono, the widow of deceased Beatle John Lennon, has lost her battle against the producers of the film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

Ono brought suit against the film's producers for including John Lennon's song Imagine in their documentary.

Last month, a federal court in Manhattan denied Ono's request for an injunction against the film that would have forced it out of theaters nationwide.

The producers are celebrating this victory by announcing that the film will be re-released theatrically this summer across the United States, according to a media release obtained by ASSIST News.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, is a documentary exploring one of the nation's most contentious and longest running battles -- the argument over where and how life began, starring author/actor/economist Ben Stein. The film debuted at #10 at the box office, but saw its theatrical run marred by the Ono lawsuit.

"We had many individuals and groups who had planned to see the film, but decided not to because the cloud of doubt this lawsuit brought to the film," noted one of the film's producers John Sullivan.

as Jim Lincoln suggests, I'd rather listen to Alexander when Alexander Scorby read the KJV bible.

(BTW, when Alexander Scorby read the Bible with a VOICE given by GOD in his providence, inquiries as to Scourby's testimony would require us to find out the testimony of the PRINTER who set the type of our Bible, or of the paper mill employee who made the page, or of the tanner who made my (BLACK LEATHER REAL CALF SKIN) cover.

wouldn't it??

Ex. 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

As a child, Chiniquy memorized scriptures at his mother's knee and developed a deep love for God. Becoming a priest, he wanted desperately to place full trust in his "church", but was hit by waves of doubt as his "church" claimed adherence to the Gospel, yet violated it at every turn. His jealous superiors falsely accused him, but Abraham Lincoln, a young lawyer from Illinois, defended him and saved his reputation. Chiniquy proves [URL=http://www.biblebelievers.com/chiniquy/cc50_ch61.html]]]chapter 61 ---MUST READ[/URL] that it was the Jesuits who later killed Lincoln, and explains why.

1. Preach Another Jesus

2. Baptism Necessary for Salvation

3. Membership Necessary for Salvation

4. Works Necessary for Salvation

5. Death of Christ Insufficient

6. Leaders Claim Supreme Authority

7. Sole Interpreters of Scripture

8. Essential Christian Doctrines Denied or Redefined

So, if the climate were different, and the Catholic Church held the reigns of power over secular governments again, what could we "heretics" that oppose apostate Catholic teaching expect??
