Revealed: Your Own Identity Carries Divine ‘Name of God’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Answering ordinary questions such as “Who are you” or “What’s your name” may seem trivial and mundane, but millions of people have little or no idea they’re actually voicing the divine name of God when they utter the answers.

The fascinating subject was probed recently on the popular Bible TV show “Shabbat Night Live,” as host Scott Laird interviewed Joe Kovacs, author of the new bestseller, “Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything.” (See video of the show below.) . . .

“Who are you? We all want to know who we are, our identity,” explained Kovacs.

“And if somebody asks you, ‘What’s your name?’ or ‘Who are you?,’ You would say ‘I am Scott.’ I would say, ‘I am Joe.’ It’s a very simple thing, and everybody in the audience can insert their own name there. But the point is, that when you say your own identity, you are saying God’s name first.

“Because you are saying, ‘I am … whatever your name is.’ You’re saying God’s name first because God has used that phrase, ‘I AM’ to identify Himself.

Documented: New Evidence That Shroud of Turin Dates to Time of Jesus

/11 Comments/in , /by

Ateam of Italian researchers have entered the debate over the Shroud of Turin, the linen cloth believed by some to have been Jesus Christ’s burial shroud.

In a study published in the journal Heritage, the authors conducted dating work on a sample from the Shroud, coming to the conclusion that it may be a 2,000-year-old relic.

The Shroud, which has long been the subject of intense scrutiny, features a faint image of man that some believe is the body of Jesus miraculously imprinted onto the cloth. While the latest study does not discuss the question of whether or not the artifact was indeed Jesus’ burial shroud, the authors did find that its age is roughly consistent with his time.

The findings challenge previous research supporting a medieval origin of the Shroud, which is one of the most studied archaeological objects in the world. (Read more from “Documented: New Evidence That Shroud of Turin Dates to Time of Jesus” HERE)

Major Christian Denomination Dumping ‘Church’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

For Christians who have not given in to the ultra-liberal, progressive moves some organizations that call themselves churches have adopted, this will not be a surprise.

It’s that the “Church” of England apparently has decided it no longer is a church.

Some of those leftist entities, while originally established by Bible-believing individuals, have strayed. They have LGBT-promoting ceremonies, advocate for abortion and more.

The British institute, while not as far down the progressive road as some entities, still has made it clear that its future is liberal and progressive.

It is Fox News that is reporting it is dropping the word “church,” “in the hopes of drawing in more crowds.” (Read more from “Major Christian Denomination Dumping ‘Church'” HERE)

Christians Left Petrified After Attack on Church During Riots as Media Ignores Mob Chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Members of the congregation of St Joseph’s church awoke earlier this week to rumours on WhatsApp of the damage spreading, along with other videos seen by GB News that appear to show attacks on Christians in London.

Panicked worshippers raced to the scene to find the pavement littered with smashed pieces of the statue, whose casing was later boarded up.

A furious member of the congregation, who spoke to GB News on condition of anonymity, said: “We had my Dad go and actually see what happened and he saw the pieces of Mother Mary on the floor. Right after I saw that, I initially thought to get this online.”

Inferring media bias, the congregant said: “I knew there wasn’t going to be news coverage on this.”

Asserting the destruction of the statue was “an attack”, the distressed worshipper said the congregation had been trying to ascertain both the identity and the motive of the culprit: “Either it’s a lone, crazy man who did this or someone who had a motive of hatred towards Christians.

Why the West Will Return to Christ

/1 Comment/in , /by

. . .I say this having traveled to the farthest depths of secular nihilism myself — and having been jilted by the its false promise. The world of pure rationality posited by the “secular fundamentalist” is a dead world in which life’s universal drive to live — and to live beautifully — is silenced, buried, and disposed of.

Men cannot live in such a world for long. Eventually, human beings observe the ugliness produced by this manner of thinking, living, and believing — and they experience their “moment.”

They pull back, they get canceled, they become disgusted and disillusioned with the very beliefs they once so fervently shouted in the streets. Such a man knows by what he has observed that the fall of man could well be true — and if he has any wits about him, he recognizes that every soul on earth needs guidance to contend with his own fallen nature.

Where better to find such guidance than from an institution that has weathered every storm of the tumultuous history of the West — a contiguous lineage of wisdom that has never been broken since the time of Christ? Its authority was not invented or improvised; it was not created on the fly by false prophets at such and such a date — it was born by the word of the Lord, and it lives.

And what is the antidote to man’s wayward nature but selfless love of the other? Was this not, in many cases, the original impetus that brought many human beings to crave “social justice”? Was the secular vision of this thing complete? Was it effective? (Read more from “Why the West Will Return to Christ” HERE)

Percentage of Adults Who Believe God Created Humans Reaches 40-Year Low, Gallup Poll Finds

/4 Comments/in , /by

The percentage of adults who believe God played a role in creating the first humans reached a 40-year low in Gallup polling released Monday.

Among those responding to the polling company’s latest survey, 37% said God alone created human beings fully evolved within the past 10,000 years. That’s a new low since Gallup first surveyed the issue in 1982, down 1 percentage point from 2017.

Gallup described participants holding this view, which is common among conservative Protestants without a college education, as “creationist purists.”

Another 24% of respondents embraced the strict evolutionary view that humans evolved from less advanced life forms over millions of years without God’s involvement. That’s up 2 percentage points to a new high since the company last surveyed the issue in 2019.

The remaining 34% believed that “humans evolved, but with God’s guidance” over millions of years. Gallup found the largest shares of college graduates and Catholics embraced this view, which is the position of the Catholic Church.

9-Year-Old Girl Attacked at School for ‘Not Being Muslim’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Police in the town of Savage, Minnesota, are now investigating an attack on a little girl at a local school by assailants, schoolchildren, who told officials they beat her up because “she wasn’t Muslim.”

Alpha News reports Minnesota mother Shawna Larson is demanding answers after her 9-year-old daughter was “jumped” on the school playground by a group of girls. . .

The report explained Larson said her daughter’s third-grade teacher and the school principal “approached her in the school pickup line” and told her what happened.

“They came up to my vehicle and informed me that there was an incident at school that day. They wanted to make it very apparent that my daughter didn’t do anything to cause this, and they told me this was a calculated incident and that she had been attacked on the playground by four other students in her grade,” Larson told the report.

“I ended up learning … this was due to her race and her religion because she wasn’t Muslim. So that was pretty jarring to hear.” (Read more from “9-Year-Old Girl Attacked at School for ‘Not Being Muslim’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

Now It’s the United States That Gets Caught Persecuting Christians

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .A report at the Washington Stand explains that now international religious freedom organizations “are monitoring religious freedom conditions in the United States … and it’s easy to see why.”

Arielle Del Turco, of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, added, to the publication, “Sadly, American culture is increasingly hostile to traditional Christian beliefs.”

Two recent situations both have developed in the leftist state of Colorado, run now by Democrats in the governor’s office, state House and state Senate. There bureaucrats first accused Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips of discrimination because he wouldn’t promote same-sex marriages with his cake artistry, and then they demanded a web designer promote same-sex weddings if she provided any wedding services.

In both cases the principals are Christians who refused state demands they violate their faith, and in both cases the state was summarily slapped down by the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the state still maintains the so-called “anti-discrimination” agenda under which the two were charged.

Del Turco told the Stand, “To a large extent, we can all intuit that by browsing through a streaming service or scrolling on social media. But these cultural shifts are also having real-work impacts for Christians in America who simply want to go about their lives while staying true to their faith.” (Read more from “Now It’s the United States That Gets Caught Persecuting Christians” HERE)

Survivor of Communist Concentration Camp Makes Peace With Dying in U.S. Prison Over Peaceful Pro-life Protest

/4 Comments/in , , /by

A Christian pro-life activist who survived a communist concentration camp in post-war Yugoslavia is now making peace with the possibility she may not outlast the Biden administration.

Eva Edl, 88, has long been familiar with the consequences of dehumanization. After the Nazi forces were routed in Europe and the war at large was coming to an end, Edl, not yet 10 years old, was tossed into one of communist dictator Josip “Tito” Broz’s concentration camps in Yugoslavia along with thousands of other Danube Schwabians who had been collectively branded as Nazi collaborators by Tito’s communist Partisans and targeted for their German ethnic backgrounds.

Edl told WJBF-TV, “We were considered to be non-human. It was just permission for torture and killing by the government.”

In camp Gakowa, Edl indicated she ended up losing all of the skin on her legs and was hobbled by sores. “People gagged when they came near me,” she said. “The flies and the fleas and the lice, and the bed bugs just loved this festering body.”

Edl and her remaining family members ultimately managed to escape into Austria. After spending several years in refugee camps, they made it to the United States where she now might die in prison for defending the lives of the biggest cohort of dehumanized people, slaughtered by the tens of millions globally every year.

Pro-Lifers Face Prison Time After Being Convicted in Federal Court

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Four pro-life Christians were convicted on Tuesday of FACE Act violations after they were charged by the Biden administration over a peaceful protest at a Tennessee abortion facility.

The four found guilty are Eva Edl, Eva Zastrow, James Zastrow, and Paul Place. They face a year in prison and thousands of dollars in fines upon sentencing. They are currently sent to be sentenced on July 30.

The decision came after a one day bench trial, meaning that the defendants’ fate was in the hands of Middle District of Tennessee Magistrate Judge Chip Frensly. Frensly agreed with the Justice Departments allegations that the pro-lifers had violated the law and found them guilty.

The judge deliberated for less than half an hour. Immediately after the convictions, the defendants and their families went outside the courthouse to sing and pray.

DOJ prosecuting attorney Amanda Klopf said that the case was about the rule of law and that the four had engaged in criminal activity and not a protest. During the DOJ’s final arguments, lawyer Brian Boynton said that the four were “not on trial for their beliefs,” but for their actions.
