Where is the first amendment for us??? The founding Fathers would be enraged to think that this is happening in our country now. Isn't it masterful how Satan has covered his lies under the guise using the term "intolerance" and "hate crime"? That is pure evil! Our blog sites are probably being monitored right now. We need our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to return soon. I believe that Christians all over the world need to unite and form the CCLU, The Christian Civil Liberty Union! Our rights are being taken from us and what are we doing? May God help us all now! It is incredible that this country is prosecuting people for speaking out on their Christian beliefs!

Who was it that penned the fatal words "right to choose"? At the moment of conception, that embryo has all the dna that the child will ever have. The eye color, hair color and sex of the child among other things have already been determined. That unformed child is already known by Almighty God! But sadly for some insane reason, our high court has deemed that it is not a living thing, it is not a child. Because this baby cannot yet utter a sound in his or her own defense, it has been deemed legal to suction it out of the womb like yesterday's trash. The same Satan who convinced one third of heaven's angels that there was something better than God now has blinded souls convinced that abortion is their right! And as darkness and hell was the consequence for the fallen angels, so too will it be for those who persist in their "right" to do wrong!

Dear Malachi.

The image of God is impossible to see,
Even with the tools of Science and Modern Biology.
For it is not made of flesh and blood,
This image we say is the image, Of God.

The image of God is the spirit within,
The conscience, the moral sense, intuition.
It’s not the antithesis reason, but the hiigher reason,
The flash of insight into the real thing-in-itself.

Yet still some teach that we are born in original sin, that our spirit from the start is dead, or not present within; that our breath is all we have, that my friend is why Science and Reliigion are both so very bad.

Jesus taught…..
Suffer the little ones to come unto me,
For such is the Kingdom of God.

Eric.

“Innocent Voices”
God’s wrath is stored up for the ones who with scorn,
Consider as worthless the tiny preborn;
For these little beings are precious to Him;
He loves and He watches the growth of each limb.
And each little fetus (imperfect ones, too)
Is special to God, though he’s hidden from view.
Someday at the judgment small voices will cry,
Indicting their mothers who caused them to die,
Accusing the doctors who ended their lives
With suction and saline, with drugs and with knives.
Like Abel whose blood cried to God against Cain,
Their blood will expose those who caused them such pain.
Then she who once shouted, “My body’s my own!”
Will stand, mutely facing her sentence alone;
No longer proclaiming her right to free choice,
But haunted in hell by that innocent voice.
–YH

mourning, weeping and repentance before standing before our Lord… we can only hope and pray my brother!

I was traveling to North Georgia when I heard Michael's testimony and my heart wept a 'thousand tears' for all the innocent lives that have ended at the hand of Molech. Yet in the light all of this evidence there continues to be a spirit of darkness and blatant rejection of God's word. I praise the Lord that Michael Clancy was present when God chose to reveal His hand in the life of Samuel, and that he had an unwavering conviction to share it with the world. Pray for those considering life and death. malachi Oh Eric, how true.

I love diagrams and anything written by someone who loves Jesus. I just read a few of the pages but will have to return to it. I will give prayerful consideration to the passage in Colossians. In spite of what has been said on the subject I remain unconvinced that we know for sure the origin of the evil one. I hesitate to say too much because someone may have found out, the Bible may in fact say it and I just don't realize it. Couldn't "all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers" refer to the universe, the creation of God? If so, wouldn't it beg the question of whether Satan was created by God? As it is written about Christ, "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." (Jn 1:3) Christ preceeded creation. Maybe someone else did too. Most of the Bible is very straight-forward. Some parts of it are difficult and unclear because their meaning has yet to be fully revealed to us. We should be bold and uncompromising with everyone about the former. We should be cautious and humble with each other about the latter. In my view the danger is great of over-interpreting scripture passages where God has given us a glimpse of the truth and the opportunity for insight by the Holy Spirit but has not clearly told us that truth. For example, I doubt few if any Jews at the time correctly interpreted Malachi 3:1 and 4:5,6, a prophecy which was in their future but is in our past and whose meaning was revealed as stated in Luke 1:13-17 and Matthew 17:10-13. Both those who applied a literal interpretation and those who applied a sort of 'spiritualizing' interpretation would have been mistaken. God wanted to hide from the Jews of that time what He was going to do, but He wants us to understand what He did. God has something in mind with every word of His Word. Where our understanding is lacking, we must humbly acknowledge as much to God and each other and seek to increase it through study and prayer. I could very easily be wrong (as I have been plenty of times in the past). I have to admit the creation reference in Ezekiel 28:13 gives me pause. I agree that Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14 refer to Satan and substantially agree with your take on those passages. The Lord be with you. I have looked at the link and it is fascinating.
