Flagged as inappropriate. show The problem is how whites view black people in America. From the very beginning we have been a color to whites. Black overwhelms white genetically, therefore we have always been a threat to whites, despite the fact that they brought Africans to these shores for their own economic benefit. African Americans are not a color - they/we are a culture. The color comes with the culture. Just as a Chinese's color comes with the culture. When John Kennedy ran for president, he got 80% of the Catholic vote, and an even higher percentage of the Irish/Catholic vote. Catholics were proud to have the opportunity to see a Catholic as president. They were not accused of racialism nor separatism. If both whites and black people would view African American through the prism of culture, rather than color; they would understand black cultural pride, just as they accepted the cultural pride the Irish and Catholics experienced when Kennedy won. hide

Wake up Christian soldiers! Suit up in the whole armor of God! Take back your country!
Fight ceaselessly on every level. Our nations life depends upon it!. If Satan can subdue our Christian nation. If he can turn it into a cesspool of amoral, sexually perverted consumming narcissists. He can consolidate his forces around the world to bring this earth under his one world government. Be not deceived by those who say they are Christian, but are not,
Stand up for the Lord Jesus Christ! Fear not for our Lord is with us. Praise The Lord!

Flagged as inappropriate. show It's not the homosexuals that worry me. It is the mamby-pamby cotton-candy Christians that scare me. If God tells us to "...jealously guard our households", how much more are we to defend the church? Liberalism, liberal name-calling and accusations against Christians have turned far too many of us into I'll-pray-in-my-corner Christian cowards. Throughout the history of the bible, God's people have had to put their bodies on the line for the Kingdom of God. Our Christian forebearers generation after generation willingly put their bodies on the line to establish this great nation in the name of Jesus Christ. Stand up and be Christians men! What example are we for our sons, if we whimper in the face of organized satanic assualts upon the sanctity, dignity, the divine authority of the God we serve and the church the that promotes His kingdom. Deny the "fawning spirits" among us authority. Would you let a gang of teenage thugs come in and take over your home without putting up fulfledged resistence? If Jesus is willling to come back to fight the battle of Armegeddon, then we shoul;d be willing to physically resist the homosexuals gangs at the church door before He comes. This is beginning to look and sound like Sodom and Gommorah! hide

Flagged as inappropriate. show The devil is brazen. Imagine they are mounting an invasion of the house of God, and are essentially daring the Christians to do something about it. They should be met at the door. Any church that would allow a gang of obscene homosexuals to defile their sanctuary, is not worth their salt. It's time for all the William Wallaces in the body of Christ to stand up! hide

Flagged as inappropriate. show Ron Karenga created Kwanza because he is a galloping anti-Christ who believes black people have been duped into Christianity. He wanted to interupt the Christmas celebrations carried on by black people, and switch their allegences to some mystical ancestor worship. He belongs to a larger group of anti-Christ black scholars who are seeded on campuses across this nation, that would rather encourage our young black students to embrace witchcraft on trips to Africa, yet will not encourage study of the legitimate church-based nature of African American culture. hide

Flagged as inappropriate. show It is not up to merchants to "include" other religions in a Christian holiday season. They do this, then on the pretext that they are addressing those other than Christians, they censor the word "Christmas", by preventing their employees from saying the traditional American greeting for this time of year - "Merry Christmas." They ban nativity scenes from the window displays where they were routinely displayed for many decades. Yet, all the while they are busy hijacking the image of Christmas - Christmas trees, ornaments, wrapped gifts, wreaths, Christmas cookies, holly, etc. They raise up Santa Claus as the god of Christmas with their relentless mindbending campaigns directed at our children. They have intentionally secularized Christmastime. Merchants were not given the cultural authority to divest Christians of their way of celebrating their Christian Christmas season. They do not have the right to take the customs, rituals and presentations of Christian Christmas, and nutur them in order to include the 1.2% Jews and the 0.6% Muslims in the religious celebrations that 96% of Americans practice at this time of the year. The very audacity of these fat-cat merchants is an indication of their disdain and hostility to the sensibilities of the overwhelming majority of Americans. You are right, Americans should vote with their feet, and march right over these overbearing, culture-killing money lords. hide

Flagged as inappropriate. show Retailers are in the business of providing a service - selling products to a society. They, in the process of selling to a particular culture, should reflect that culture; not forcibly alter the culture's image nor profile in order to make more money, or to carry out their fifth column underground agenda. hide

Flagged as inappropriate. show When they started their public campaign for acceptability, homosexuals said they were not after the kids. Yet since then they have gone all the way to the Supreme Court to try to legally open the door to access to our "morally straight" young boys. They were unsucessful. Now they have burrowed their way into our local , state and federal governments, and are attempting to use their combined leverage to force their obscene will upon the people who HAVE children, and upon the children themselves. People of America, don't allow them access to our children. Protect the Boy Scouts of America. Philadelphia, demonstrate and protest! Put your children in Christian schools. Decent people, run for local office. Demand that our governments respect decency! hide

Flagged as inappropriate. show Are retailers in the business of selling products, or have they taken on the ominus, big brother role of cultural engineers? Retailers know that 96% of American celebrate Christmas. They also know that Christmas profits are the difference annually between break even and a profit. So the question looms - "Why would a sizeable portion of merchants insult the very hand that feeds them?" Could it be that they represent an anti-Christian cabal that has grown so fat off of Christmas that they no longer fear biting the hand that feeds them? Has this anti-Christian cabal declared war on the American Christian culture, while the culture still remain unaware of the true nature of these well-heeled, well-connected manipulators? hide
Could the fact that almost 50% of America's moderate hotels are owned by
non-Christians from India have something to do with the disappearing Bibles?
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
