‘Pope Francis’ Claims: ‘For the Entire Course of Her Life, Mary Was Free From Any Stain of Sin’

“The uncontaminated beauty of our mother is incomparable, but at the same time, it attracts us, Let us entrust ourselves to her and say ‘no’ to sin and ‘yes’ to grace once and for all.”

(Heather Clark – Christian News)  In one of the feasts and celebrations marked on the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar leading up to Christmas, Catholics around the world observed the Feast of Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, a day in which those who follow the religion commemorate their belief that Mary was conceived in her mother’s womb without original sin. The doctrine has been deemed unbiblical and rejected by evangelicals. Continue reading

What Does it Mean to Overcome the World?

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, 10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 2 Timothy 1:8-12 (NASB) 

There are some who believe that Romans 7:7-25 was written by the Apostle Paul in reference to before his salvation in that he proclaims his frustration with his inability to keep the law by his own strength…. Continue reading

Attorney General Bill Barr Resigns, Will Leave DOJ Before Christmas

(PJ Media)  Attorney General Bill Barr has resigned, effective December 23, 2020, President Trump announced on Twitter today.

“Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House,” Trump wrote. “Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family.” Continue reading

Rick Warren’s Church Has Blacks Only Worship: No White Members Invited

“This is some next-level divisiveness that the church is facilitating black members needing a virtual “safe space” to have their “gospel experience” so that they can “heal” away from the lighter skinned congregants.” God forbid there might be white members sharing bandwidth with black members and streaming the same thing.”

(Protestia) Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church has invited “African American and/or Black Members” and their spouses of any ethnicity to attend a special gathering with racial trauma experts, with non-spousal white church members being asked to pray for the event, but to stay away. Continue reading

Espionage Emergency: China ‘Floods’ America with Spies

“Fang appears to be more than just a casual collector of information. She may have even “honey-trapped” Swalwell, who has yet to deny allegations of a sexual relationship with her.” 

(Gordon G. Chang – Gatestone Institute)  Revelations this month about U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, highlight Beijing’s complete penetration of American society.

China’s influence, intelligence and infiltration attempts are overwhelming America. Given the emergency, Washington should immediately close down all of China’s bases of operation in the U.S., including its four remaining consulates. Continue reading

Scientists Link This Superspreader Event in February to Around 300,000 COVID Cases

“According to the report, the conference attendees then carried the virus to at least six states, three different countries and the District of Columbia.”

(Bronson Stocking – Townhall)  The credibility of public health officials was shot earlier this year after members of the medical community approved of the months-long protests – i.e. superspreader events – following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Hypocritically, the same “experts” chastised other gatherings and large events that didn’t call for defunding police departments or descend into widespread violence and mayhem. Continue reading

New Details Released On DOJ Subpoena Into Hunter Biden Business Dealings

(OAN News)  New incriminating information is coming to light in the probe into Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son.

According to Saturday’s reports, Hunter Biden received nearly $500,000 to sit on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma, but the money was never disclosed in his 2014 tax return.

The discovery only adds to the Justice Department’s investigation into Hunter, which has been ongoing since 2018, despite media silence on the matter. Continue reading

I Have Been Crucified with Christ

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. Romans 6:1-14 (NASB) Read verses 8-14 on the site.

The Doctrine of Regeneration tells Christians that the life they live now will not be as it once was, but will take on the characteristics of regeneration. The Christian is a new creation…. Continue reading

Outer Darkness

12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying. Rev 22:12-15 (NASB) 

Spiritual blindness is a wonder to behold. Those false prophets who profess to be Christian while loving and teaching the doctrines of demons have been given over to their sin by God. Their consciences have been seared and no matter how adamantly we tell them the truth and prove it by showing them what the Word of God teaches, they cling to their false doctrines while stopping up their ears like a rebellious child….

How NBC News Helped the Biden Campaign Ruin an Innocent Man and Bury the Hunter Laptop Story

“Many media outlets used this NBC News hit piece, from October 30 through Election Day and beyond, to discredit the 64-page report on how deeply the CCP had compromised both Hunter and Joe Biden. Polls show that around 45% of Biden voters had no idea about important election stories like this one, and 17% of them would not have voted for him if they had known about the stories, including the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden.” 

(Jeff Reynolds – PJ Media) Hunter Biden was the October Surprise that wasn’t. A report so explosive, so potentially damaging, so dangerous for national security that it should have destroyed Joe Biden’s bid for the White House…. Continue reading

Media Said A Vaccine By End Of Year Was Impossible, Even Fact-Checked Trump Making Claim

(Ashe Schow – Daily Wire) Following the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine through an emergency use authorization, it is important to look back at all the media outlets who insisted the world wouldn’t see a vaccine before the end of 2020.

President Donald Trump in the fall began saying a vaccine was coming soon, so media outlets rushed to claim he was lying, citing “experts.” NBC News even took the step to “fact check” Trump’s prediction, one of the numerous ways so-called fact checks have been weaponized against Trump. Continue reading

Pew Research Poll: Faithful Christians Still Don’t Believe in Evolution

(Protestia)  A new Pew Research Poll shows that “Christians” lag behind the rest of the world in believing that humans and animals evolved over millions of years, often showing as much as 35% disparity. While that is good news on the face of it, the number of professing Christians that do believe in it is far higher than it ought to be.

Like most polls from Pew or Barna, they ought to be taken with a ‘Lot’s wife’ worth of salt. One methodological point is that the graph doesn’t distinguish between the number of “Christians who say religion is very important to them” and “Christians who don’t.” Continue reading

‘You Just Need More Faith’ Does not Suffice

“God doesn’t need to prove His existence to an atheist — He’s already done enough of it. But you need to know how to articulate the arguments for the existence of God, Christ’s resurrection, the empty tomb, and other apologetic topics. With that being said, let me explain what apologetics is not very briefly by pointing you to a superb quote.”

(Blake Long – Theology and Life)  Years ago, while I was at a previous church, I was having a discussion with a fellow church member. As we were talking he began to talk about familial issues and how hard it has been on him. It was rough to hear but I appreciated him opening up a little bit to me. This is part of what it means to “do life together.” Continue reading

Supreme Court Rejects Texas Lawsuit and Trump Bid to Undo Election Loss to Biden

(Newsmax) The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday brought an abrupt end to a long-shot lawsuit filed by Texas and backed by President Donald Trump seeking to throw out voting results in four states, dealing him a crushing setback in his quest to undo his election loss to Joe Biden.

The justices in a brief order rejected the bid by Texas to file the extraordinary challenge targeting Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin directly with the Supreme Court, as is allowed in some instances of litigation between states under a legal doctrine called “original jurisdiction.” Continue reading

Adulterer Carl Lentz Goes to Rehab for ‘Pastoral Burnout’

(Protestia)  Predictably, the disgraced ex-pastor checked himself into rehab, which is fundamentally easier to do than just repent.

Checking yourself into rehab after a good public shaming is so common that it has become a punchline. It’s the first step toward rebuilding one’s reputation. The imaging is simple; blame mental illness or addiction for your sinful behavior. Then claim recovery. People will subsequently applaud your bravery.

Bam. It’s that simple. Continue reading

Trump Blasts FBI, DOJ Over Hunter Biden Investigation

He also claimed, in another tweet that the “Biden Administration will be a scandal plagued mess for years to come” and that it will be “much easier for the Supreme Court of the United States to follow the Constitution and do what everybody knows has to be done. They must show great Courage & Wisdom. Save the USA!!!”

(Sandy Fitzgerald – Newsmax) President Donald Trump is blasting the FBI and the Department of Justice, along with the media, over the news that Joe Biden’s son Hunter is under federal investigation, demanding to know why the probe wasn’t announced before the November election. Continue reading

Reports: Vaccine ‘Proof’ Will Be Ultra-Violet Mark Left Under Skin

(Protestia)  Despite claims that any correlation between mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations and the Mark of the Beast are “conspiratorial,” the reports are real.

No, we aren’t claiming that COVID-19 vaccines are the Mark of the Beast prophesied in Revelation 13:13-18. But what the Great Coronavirus Panic of 2020 has taught us is that the technology is present to fulfill the Scripture’s prophecy. [This view is held by those who are dispensationalists.] Continue reading

Why Trouble Follows the Preaching of God’s Truth

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; 36 and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD. Matthew 10:34-39 (NASB) Read verses 37-39 on the site.

Cleansing the heart of man-made religiosity is not fun and games. In fact, it hurts. Many resist God’s truth even to the point of bitterly expressing their anger over what is taught or preached. God’s ways are not man’s ways. The way that seems right unto man is not God’s way…. Continue reading

Victory for CA Church After Ninth Circuit Reverses Ruling Upholding In-person Worship Restrictions

(Raven Clabough – New American)  California churches experienced another victory in court this week as the U.S. Supreme Court instructed the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to vacate a district ruling against the South Bay United Pentecostal Church in Chula Vista. The Catholic News Agency reports the decision came “in light of recent Supreme Court rulings favorable to churches that have challenged state COVID restrictions that disproportionately limit religious freedom.”

As noted by Christian Post, South Bay’s efforts to challenge the restrictions on in-person church services in the spring were rejected by the high court when Chief Justice John G. Roberts sided with the court’s four liberal judges, but the church amended its complaint this summer and sought to overturn limitations on attendance and prohibitions against singing. Continue reading

Media Does Damage Control on Their Refusal to Cover Hunter Biden Before the Election

“Went largely unnoticed” is code for: Ignored and purposely censored. The evidence has been everywhere for months, even years. 

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall)  Yesterday the Department of Justice officially revealed Hunter Biden is under investigation.

In October, it became clear Biden may have been involved in money laundering and illegal foreign dealings with hostile governments, including China…. Continue reading

The Time for Talking with the Left is Long, Long Past

“Conservatives must accept this hard reality and avoid the aforementioned instinctive, very human but in this case deadly habit: projection. This is when you ascribe your own mindset, priorities and sense of virtue to others. But vanguard leftists aren’t like you. As with the Devil, they can’t be talked out of their passions or reasoned out of their malevolence. They are as aliens — and they do not come in peace.”

(Selwyn Duke – American Thinker)  “People who cannot be reasoned with can only be fought.” It’s an age-old truth, one good people ignore at their own peril. It too often is ignored, though, since good people are mostly reasonable and, in accordance with man’s nature, engage in projection. They thus assume that others are as reasonable as they are. Continue reading

Trump Keeps Hope of Victory Alive in Remarks at WH Hanukkah Party

“The president and 17 other U.S. states have supported the lawsuit, which asks the court to stop the four states from voting in the Electoral College on Dec. 14 until it hears arguments in the case.”

(Surya Gowda – Newsmax)  President Donald Trump remained confident that he won the election during his remarks at the White House Hanukkah party on Wednesday, ensuring his supporters that he could serve in the highest office for four more years with the help of “certain very important people” with wisdom and courage. Continue reading

‘If You’re Looking for Election Rigging, Look No Further’ Than Media Treatment of Hunter Biden Saga

(Breitbart)  Wednesday, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson reacted to the Department of Justice’s investigation into Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, and his “tax affairs,” which is being investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware.

The “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host reminded viewers most in the press scoffed at those reports or ignored them outright, which Carlson said was “election rigging” by the media.

Transcript as follows: Continue reading

Justified by Faith

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “ BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” Romans 1:17 (NASB) 

The Protestant Reformation was used by God to restore the lost doctrine of Justification by Faith. Also, all of the reformers were adamant that the Bible be available to all people in a language they could read and understand. The Roman Catholic Church of that era was apostate and taught a corrupt gospel based on works. The Bible was kept locked up and away from non-scholars. It was always read verbally to the people in Latin, which few understood. Continue reading

It’s Time For Mass Civil Disobedience Against Lawless Lockdown Orders

Fortunately for us, because we are Americans and we live in a free country—a place governed by laws and not by men—we have a constructive way to express our rage and outrage: we can simply stop obeying these lawless edicts.

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) By now it should be obvious that elected state and local officials issuing COVID-19 lockdown and stay-at-home orders are just making things up as they go along. Continue reading
