"Pro-life is not a campaign slogan for me. As President, I will immediately work with Congress to pass the Sanctity of Life Act which would strip the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in all cases involving the life of an unborn child. When that happens the unborn child would once again be declared a person under the law and cannot be harmed without due process of law. Appointing Pro-life Supreme Court Justices will no longer give the Republicans a phony rallying cry and the evil deeds of the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973 will be set aside. "

I know the reasoning of many other brethren who plan to vote for the lesser of two evils, and won't condemn THEM for doing as they (informed by the word of God and prayer) choose.

Factory worker Williams admitted aggravated burglary and was jailed for five years. After the case, a neighbour said: 'Lance is well known around here. Everyone calls him the only gay in the village. But people were shocked when he was arrested - everyone thought he was harmless.'

Mr Jones said yesterday: 'It was a terrifying experience. He used a knife and hurt me in my back. He then grabbed my savings and ran out of my back door which they had kicked in.'

Babylon is the Vatican city.

"Even Catholic apologist Karl Keating admits that Rome has long been known as Babylon. Keating claims that Peter's statement "The church here in Babylon ... sends you her greeting" (from I Peter 5:13) proves that Peter was writing from Rome. He explains further:

"Babylon is a code word for Rome. It is used that way six times in the last book of the Bible [four of the six are in chapters 17 and 18 and in extrabiblical works such as Sibylling Oracles (5, 159f.), the Apocalypse of Baruch (ii, 1), and 4 Esdras (3:1).
Eusebius Pamphilius, writing about 303, noted that "it is said that Peter's first epistle... was composed at Rome itself; and that he himself indicates this, referring to the city figuratively as Babylon." :

Now, if the SPIRIT of this Babylon takes over a country, one could read this collapse as including all nations that sold out to that Babylon, and destruction of those countries being included with the specific Babylon judgement.

Republicans for Choice (RFC), a group of pro-abortion Republicans, has endorsed its second choice for president, Sen. John McCain, after former Mayor Rudy Giuliani bowed out.

ā€œHe has time and again reached out and worked with people across the spectrum,ā€ RFC said on its Web site. ā€œWe know we can work with him to create common ground that will allow moderates and conservatives to come together to rebuild the GOP.ā€

RFC supports Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, the landmark 1973 rulings that legalized abortion and are responsible for the death of more than 45 million babies

When I read that description of Babylon, I can't help but think NYC.

1Cor.6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind,:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Bob Enyart's popular christian TV show had him telling effeminate men to 'talk like a man' or he wouldn't continue with them. And they'd drop the affectation.

The 'Sodar' ability is partly based on speech patterns: not just the affected lisp that GRATES when coming from a guy,
or base cussing like a sailor from a female, but other tonal nuances.

The same seems to alert us to people with tendencies towards other traits, as this goes on to say.

"On the other hand, he says the study might just be an indication that we're much better than previously thought at perceiving overall characteristics of others, of which sexual orientation is just one of many.

"This week, Barack Obama's challenge is to select a running mate who's young, hip, and whose accomplishments in life don't overshadow Obama's. Allow me to suggest Kevin Federline.

The only thing we can be sure of is that Obama will choose someone who is the polar opposite of all his advisers until now. In other words, it will be a very, very white male who was probably proud of his country even before being chosen as Obama's running mate.

Obama's got a lot of ground to make up following that performance last weekend at the Saddleback presidential forum with pastor Rick Warren.

After seeing Obama defend infanticide with the glib excuse that the question of when life begins is above his "pay-grade," Rev. Jeremiah Wright announced that although he's known Obama for 30 years, he only recently became aware of how extreme the senator's viewpoints were. Wright, after all, has his reputation to consider.

Network heads responded by dashing off an urgent memo: During the main presidential debates this fall, ask NO questions about abortion, ethics or evil! Morality isn't the Democrats' forte."

"In addition to the focus on Ramadan and Eid, the Coca-Cola system has also implemented policies and programs to meet the needs of Muslim employees, such as providing halal food in cafeterias and organizing special prayer rooms at company facilities," it said. "Several bottlers have also funded employee pilgrimage initiatives."

In 2006, Coca-Cola released a statement about its recognition of Ramadan.

Robert Schuller makes in a year?

Schuller says he believes in salvation by grace, but what he actually believes is that salvation is being rescued from poor self-esteem. He says he believes in Hell; but his hell is the loss of self-esteem, not a place of fiery eternal torment. He says he believes in sin; but sin is not willful rebellion against God and His law, but the loss of self-esteem. He says he believes in Jesus Christ;
but his positive-only, ā€œSelf-Esteem Incarnateā€ Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible.

In the 1950s, the Chinese communist government began pushing the "three self" movement as a means of pressuring churches to break all ties with Christians outside of China. The "Three Self" movement supposedly stood for "self-supporting, self-governing, self-propagating." That is a good description of a biblical church, but this is not what the communists meant by the term. Like their friends the theological modernists, the communists are masters of changing the definition of good words. Their emphasis was on disassociation from foreign influence, which was labeled imperialism, and submission to the communist government. If it were honestly named, it would not be the Three Self movement, it would be the Three Communist movement, because the object is not "self government" but communist government of the churches.

"'It is true that many individual Muslims are peace-loving and law-abiding,' agrees The Barnabas Fund News. 'But it is not true that peace is the main characteristic of Islam. It is not even true that the word 'Islam' means 'peace.' In fact it means 'submission.' Islam as a faith emphasizes submission of Muslims to God and, by a logical extension, the submission of non-Muslims to Muslims" (Barnabus Fund News).
