Pelagian Pope Francis Says People Are ‘All Fundamentally Good’ +’The Heart Itself is Good’

Francis insists that “people are fundamentally good” and that while there are some rogues and sinners, “the heart itself is good.” 

(Protestia) Pope Francis continues to let little bits of the antichrist spirit he has inside of him shine through, sharing a host of unbiblical and unorthodox teachings during a rare interview with 60 Minutes, including claiming that human beings are fundamentally good and criticizing American bishops concerned about his progressive shift as “suicidal.” Continue reading

Warning: Windows Chatbot Will Watch Literally Everything You Do

“Snapshots are taken every five seconds… and [are] locally analyzed on your PC. Recall’s analysis allows you to search for content, including both images and text, using natural language.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Elon Musk called it “a Black Mirror episode” — a reference to Netflix’s creepy Twilight Zone-inspired show — that he’ll “definitely” be turning off, but Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says Windows is just trying to help.

It’s a new feature named Recall, part of the company’s Copilot AI chatbot, and it will screencap literally everything you do on your Windows or Surface computer to help you find stuff later. Continue reading

Victor Davis Hanson on the Bud Lighting of the Elite Colleges

“Hanson said the elites are not the schools that many of the better students now plan to attend or who employers want to hire.”

(Mary Dowling) In the interview below, Victor Davis Hanson exposes higher education’s radical shift and the inevitable consequences. They don’t know it yet, but the Ivies are sinking under the weight of DEI, PC, and radical illiberal policies.

Historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson exposes the profound changes sweeping through American higher education…. Continue reading

Greg Locke Formally Declared an ‘Apostle’ at Official Apostolic Installation Service

(Protestia) “Pastor Greg Locke” is now “Apostle Greg Locke,” following an apostolic installation and impartation service yesterday morning at Global Vision Bible Church, which saw the controversial Tennessee pastor and his wife officially given the lofty title and designations.

Readers of Protestia will recognize Locke as the controversial Tennessee pastor who divorced his first wife and remarried under controversial circumstances and who is elbows deep in exorcisms and deliverance ministry after several witches supposedly harassed his church. Continue reading

U.K. Orders Schools Not to Teach ‘Gender Identity’

“This monumental change in the U.K.’s public-education guidelines owes much to the April report from Dr. Hilary Cass that eviscerated the medical community for pushing novel, untested “gender-affirming care” on minors.”

(Michael Tennant – New American) The transgender cult just took another beating as the United Kingdom’s Department for Education (DfE) announced new proposed guidance prohibiting the teaching of “gender identity” in schools and giving parents the right to review curricula. Continue reading

Donors, Parents, and Taxpayers Can Fight College Social Activism

(Betsy McCaughey – Newsmax) Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is urging university leaders across the country to do some “serious soul searching.”

Good advice.

She should start with her own soul.

Shafik has the wrong idea about the purpose of a university. Continue reading

Gaetz Picks Another Fight: Standing Up for Taxpayers While Demanding an Improved Military

“Our military has been caught unprepared before. At the start of the Korean War, American forces lacked both anti-tank guns and effective infantry anti-tank weapons and had been equipped with obsolete 2.36-inch (60 mm) rocket launchers and a few 57 mm recoilless rifles. Americans died needlessly, and we nearly lost that war in its opening days.”

(Christian Josi – PJ Media) Fightin’ Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was on fire once again recently, turning the screws on the Secretary of the Air Force to procure aircraft that actually work. You read that right — we are spending a ridiculous amount of cash on planes that don’t work…. Continue reading

Francis Collins Admits To Lying About Social Distancing

“Francis Collins stated that Anthony Fauci invited him to the infamous February 1, 2020 conference call, which “prompted” the public narrative suppressing and vilifying the lab leak hypothesis. This statement directly contradicts Dr. Fauci’s previous statements.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Francis Collins was hailed as a hero of science and Christianity for decades by Big Eva. Tim Keller compared him to Daniel. Yet nothing could be further from the truth as Francis Collins was subversive to both Christianity and science the entire time…. Continue reading

‘Queer Animals’ Propaganda From NBC Seeks to ‘Prove’ Homosexuality is Natural

“Watch this insane trailer of NBC’s “Queer Planet” that demonstrates just how unhinged the LGBTQ movement is, that they would go to such deranged lengths to deaden their consciences and justify their sin and love of self.”

(The Dissenter) When I saw this, I literally couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I mean, homosexuals have always argued that homosexuality is normal and natural because, well, there are animals that do it. But I always thought the argument was so dumb that no serious person would ever give it a second thought. Continue reading

I Believe in the Holy Spirit

(Sinclair Ferguson – Ligonier Ministries) Modern Bible translations are in the news these days, sometimes for controversial reasons. But one universal benefit of them is that the Holy Spirit is no longer referred to as “it.” Curiously a chief culprit here is the much-loved King James Version (for example, Romans 8:26: “the Spirit itself”).

In fact, pneuma (the Greek word for “spirit” or “wind”) is a neuter gender noun and therefore attracted a neuter pronoun, “it.” Still, John 14:26 and 15:26, which refer to the Spirit by the masculine pronoun “he” (ekeinos), left older Bible readers in no doubt about his personal nature: “he” not “it.” Whatever it means for human spirits, created as the image of God to be personal is rooted in the very being of their Creator….

Joe Biden Asserts Executive Privilege to Keep Recordings of His Special Counsel Interview from Congress

“Garland refused to comment on Biden’s executive action Thursday when reporters asked about it.”

(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) President Joe Biden asserted executive privilege on Thursday over his interview with special counsel Robert Hur to prevent Congress from obtaining his audio recordings.

The House Oversight Committee scheduled a markup on Thursday to begin the process of holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for his refusal to hand over the recording. Continue reading

Illegals Vote in US Elections: We Must Pass the SAVE Act

(Mary Dowling) Federal law only allows citizens to vote in federal elections, but it prohibits requiring documentary proof of citizenship in elections.

The SAVE Act would close loopholes to prevent illegals from voting. It passed the House, but every Democrat voted against it. Democrats have control of the Senate.

In 2014, the academic journal Electoral Studies published a groundbreaking study by three scholars who estimated how frequently non-citizens were illegally voting. Continue reading

Praise the Lord: David French’s Appearance Canceled at Upcoming Presbyterian (PCA) General Assembly

(The Dissenter) A few days ago, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), for once, made a commendable decision that deserves our attention and applause. The PCA’s Administrative Committee announced the cancellation of an assembly-wide panel discussion that was to feature left-wing activist David French. French, who masquerades as a Christian while promoting godless ideals like drag queen story hour as a “blessing of liberty,” was set to speak at the upcoming General Assembly in Richmond, Virginia. Thankfully, amid pushback, the PCA saw the light and took decisive action to protect the integrity and unity of the church. Continue reading

Call them racist? Teachers union worked with feds to neutralize parents with concerns about CRT

(Greg Piper – Just the News) Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin’s gubernatorial victory in Virginia in November 2021, widely credited to his promise to restore parental rights in public schools in the Democratic-leaning state, set off panic in the national education establishment.

Newly disclosed records reveal the American Federation of Teachers hired a prominent Democratic pollster the following month to survey parents and devise messaging to shore up AFT’s weaknesses – particularly by tarring dissenting parents as racists – and shared it with a senior Department of Education official. Continue reading

Highest Taxes in US History in 5 Months – Especially If You’re White

“They further recommend that the tax code be rewritten to raise taxes on white people. This would be an underhanded way for the government to take money from one racial group and give it to another. This is horrible, and this paper should have no place in government.”

(Mary Dowling) You have to watch the video to truly understand how horrific the upcoming taxes will be for the middle class, not billionaires. White people will pay more because they are white, and investment will dry up. If you’re retired, an heir, or an investor, you’re damned…. Continue reading

Jason Whitlock Defends Inviting Glenn Beck To Christian Men’s Conference

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Jason Whitlock is a Christian podcaster at Blaze TV, the host of the show Fearless. He actively wears his faith on his sleeve and acknowledges his previous sinful lifestyle. Last year he hosted his first ever Roll Call, a Christian men’s conference. However, this year, the conference is controversial due to its inclusion of Glenn Beck as a headline speaker. Voddie Baucham is also a headliner at the conference. Continue reading

Heresy: Oneness Pentecostalism

(The Dissenter) Oneness Pentecostalism, a growing movement within the broader Pentecostal tradition, has ensnared many in a web of theological errors and heresies. While it might present itself as a vibrant expression of Christian faith, it is, in truth, a radical departure from biblical orthodoxy. This movement, with its roots in early 20th-century revivalism, champions a distorted view of God and Christ that stands condemned according to the clear teachings of Scripture and the historic creeds of the Christian faith. Continue reading

Michael Cohen Just Blew Up Bragg’s Case Against Trump

“There is nothing illegal here. What Cohen was describing is not a crime. The prosecutors are making great fanfare over proving non-criminal acts and non-contested allegations. Yeah, there was an NDA. Yeah, money was paid. That happens all the time, and so we’re still left with this bizarre situation of a trial over something that none of us have yet been told what the crime is.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump has been in trouble as witness after witness for the prosecution seems to undermine it. Michael Cohen’s testimony proved to be no different. Continue reading

The judgment of getting exactly what we want

“…we may find when the Lord gives it to us that what we were pursuing, and the reasons we pursued it, do not live up to expectation. We may even find the role causes us such great grief and difficulties that we did not reckon with that it may prove to be a real problem to us in our walk with Jesus.”

(Stephen Kneale – Building Jerusalem) I am convinced that there are times God gives us exactly what we want, not because it is a good thing for us, but because he is giving us over to that thing as a judgment. There can be times we ask, push and go after things that God would keep us from…. Continue reading

NYT Peddles Anti-Vax ‘Misinformation’

“It’s not just the Times, though. Remember CNN’s disgraced Chris Cuomo? Remember his nightly comedy schtick with his even-more-disgraced older brother, Andrew? And remember the nightly sneer-fests with Don Lemon? It turns out that Chris is now an Ivermectin fan.”

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) But the virus is worse.

That’s the intellectually lazy fallback response folks often get when they raise questions about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. Continue reading

Victor Davis Hanson and the Dumb Kids in Ivy Leagues

(Mary Dowling) In a conversation on The Watchman, VDH discussed some of the points he makes in his new book, The End of Everything. When they talked about the protests and riots on college campuses, he torched the Ivies that he no longer sees as exceptional.

They’re antisemitic:

“One, I think we’ve dispelled the liberal myth that there was a difference between anti-Semitism and being anti-Israel. They don’t make a difference. When they [chase] Jews into the Cooper Union library, they don’t ask them whether they support Israel. Continue reading

Climate Professor Thinks We Should ‘Cull’ the Human Population to Reach Emissions Targets

“I’m convinced that people like McGuire and other climate catastrophists are actually rooting for the end of the world. They dream of melting glaciers, rivers flooding across the land, oceans covering skyscrapers, and Middle America becoming a desert.”

(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Professor Bill McGuire is a well-known vulcanologist and climate scientist who doesn’t care much for humanity. He tweeted out a scathingly brilliant idea if you’re in the mortuary business or work as a grave digger. Continue reading

The Kingdom of the Lord, the Kingdom of Satan, and Spiritual Warfare

In the air are Satan and his evil host. On earth are his servants–the masses of demons–and his innumerable worldwide human slaves. Throughout the once Christian West and America Satan’s slaves are all of the ungodly souls who have rejected our Lord Jesus Christ in favor of darkness, rebellion, autonomy, power, materialism, and a life of sin.

(Linda Kimball – RenewAmerica) “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.

“But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

“For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life” (Ephesians 2: 1-10).

In these passages Paul seeks to demonstrate to his readers that there are two kingdoms in which people exist. One is the kingdom of Satan. The other is the kingdom of our Lord: Continue reading
