Why Presidential Candidate Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Honestly is Not a Christian.

by @ 9:18 pm. Filed under Nuts on Parade

It brings me no pleasure to say it. But I said it of our current President in my post Why President George W. Bush Honestly is Not a Christian. When he spoke the same heresy Obama has spoken. So I would be a hypocrite not to say the same of Obama. And I want fellow saints to know the truth. Because this is the way man is running to Baal. All denying JESUS IS THE ONLY MEANS TO SALVATION BY FAITH ON HIM ALONE AND ALL OTHER PATHS LEAD TO DEATH AND CONDEMNATION.

Acts 4:12 (New American Standard Bible)

12 “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Proof Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. follows another Jesus.

Obama contends belief in Jesus Christ not necessary for salvation

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senator Barack Obama has told an audience that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that teaching can also be children of God.

During a campaign stop yesterday in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he “can have everlasting life” because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much “children of God” as he is. (listen to audio clip)

The Illinois Democrat added that his late mother didn’t share his faith but was a kind and generous person, so he’s “sure she’s in heaven.” (listen to audio clip)

(Audio clips are available on the site linked above.)

Given I have already detailed why Obama’s words are heresy and prove he’s not a Christian in a post about our current President. Just read the post Why President George W. Bush Honestly is Not a Christian. And mentally replace Bush’s name with Obama’s when reading.

This is how the whole world will worship the beast. Because they will all feel they are worshiping the same god and they all will be following the same false god. If MY GOD says salvation ONLY comes via faith on His Son and your god says there are other paths, your god is NOT MY GOD.

By definition, in Obama’s mind, he feels that he could have got to Heaven just as well if he remained a Muslim. Muslims (and non-Messianic Jews) deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ, but Obama feels a Christ denier can be “good” and be accepted into God’s Kingdom. That’s called the heresy of salvation by works.

If Christians Should Not Sue Fellow Christians. Should Christians Report Fellow Christians to YouTube for Copyright Infringement? Ex Ministries, G. Craige Lewis, Causing Christians to Lose Their YouTube Accounts.

by @ 3:02 am. Filed under Evangelicals Under Attack

I’ll just let the video speak for its self.



video titled: dear subscribers-there is a friend in need

(Hat tip to YouTubber thrufaithalone.)

Once upon a time, I thought G. Craige Lewis was OK. Then I learned more about his doctrine, started learning more about him and became concerned. All things noted and discussed in detail already. But on YouTube I felt those going after saints’ accounts were the type of people G. Craige was against. Well it appears in my opinion, that G. Craige is about leveraging the laws of man to ensure video sales, more than seeing the truth spread.

This is why once I started blogging more about church matters, I updated my blog’s copyright statement. So nobody would fear making a copy of material here related to church matters and I figure a Christian making a copy would cite their sources. I primarily like this blog to be cited as the source of something copied from here, so that I can explain or defend if someone has questions.

While I have major doctrinal issues with G. Craige Lewis, I felt he would not be uptight about people posting clips of his videos on YouTube. It gives him positive promotion and beyond that in some cases it helped spread some truth. Given my issues on some things of course I can’t say I agree with every statement from his mouth, but I felt many YouTubbers were selecting clips that expressed truth. I can’t say I know what video clip YouTubber BlazingSky2006 was using and I don’t know anything else about her or what she was doing on YouTube, but it’s pretty sad she lost her account over someone she was trying to promote.

So Christians being attacked on YouTube continues and Ex Ministries is playing a role in that.

1 Corinthians 6:1-8 (New American Standard Bible)

1 Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?

3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

5 I say this to your shame Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

8 On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.

I’ve heard G. Craige Lewis claim he has to sell videos to feed his family. Well he is the pastor at a church. If he has need, his assembly should handle with that, if he’s being a good elder, 1 Timothy 5:17-18. Instead he’s engaging in the worst of what comes with peddling. By using laws of man against Christians.

2 Corinthians 2:17 (New American Standard Bible)

17 For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

If he wants to work of his own hands to supply his needs, he could always consider taking up something that does not involve peddling what he claims to be gospel. Like tent making, Acts 18:1-4.

There once were several of G. Craige Lewis’ videos easily findable on YouTube. Hard to find any now. After he went after some, there are some YouTubbers that feel YouTube did the rest automatically based on the file attributes of matching videos. I suspect if G. Craige Lewis had simply asked people using his videos to remove them that they would have voluntarily. It seems a YouTube message to the person he felt offended by would have sufficed.

I’ve seen more than one video of someone saying a YouTube account was shut down for having an Ex Ministries video on their account. I can’t say every video I’ve seen in that regard displays good temperament, so I can only post the one that is above. It seems some weak in the faith are not helped by what is happening at the hands of someone they felt good about.

People say they’ve tried to reach G. Craige Lewis about this issue and not received any response.

While it probably does not make him much money, it’s apparent G. Craige Lewis is peddling and acting as the ungodly do about it. So it’s like I’ve gone from once feeling G. Criage Lewis was OK, to having major doctrinal issues with him, to now having even more concerns about him. I had no plans to purchase his material, but I never advised anyone else to consider not giving him a dime. Now I’m thinking saints should avoid him, totally. I’ve never made a full post here that was only dedicated to warning about him, consider this the first.

I considered contacting Ex Ministries for comment. But when I went to their contact page, I decided not to. Primarily, all the page is about is booking him for a speaking engagement. Which of course he’ll want money for. And at the bottom of the page in small print it says the following:

For questions, please consult the arguments sections of our site.
We do not address rumors, personal issues, or personal attacks on G. Craige Lewis or EX Ministries, nor do we allow slanderous blogs, comments, or personal attacks on others on this site. We fight the devil at EX Ministries, not people. Ephesians 6:12

(I made the scripture noted into a hyperlink.)

His response to people that ask why he does not allow comments is interesting. I take it that is also why he does not allow comments on his blog. It seems he feels everything he does under the Ex Ministries banner is God inspired. And he makes it clear he’s not responding to phone or e-mail contact here. The only contact e-mail on his web site is for bookings, I’m not sure where any other e-mail address anyone else might have for him came from. They’re not getting responses and he’s said he would not be responding to phone and e-mails sent to him. But he does have time if you have the money to book him for a speaking engagement!

So I figure that he’s made it obvious I need not bother trying to reach him.

Wife of Prosperity Heretic Markus Bishop Says Her Husband is a Violent Man. Turns Himself in, Charged With Domestic Abuse.

by @ 8:54 pm. Filed under Nuts on Parade

This is a charge, not a conviction, let’s keep that in mind.

Prominent Pastor Surrenders on Domestic Abuse Charges

Pastor Markus Bishop surrendered to Bay County sheriff’s investigators around 8:00 Tuesday morning, but Tuesday afternoon the 47-year-old was back to work at his Faith Christian Family Church. Sheriff’s officials are charging the pastor with domestic battery against his wife, 42-year-old Margie Bishop. According to the incident report, the Bishops got into an argument in their home at the Exclusive Preserve on the night of Sunday March 16. That’s when Margie Bishop claims her husband hit her with his fist. The next day Mrs. Bishop left their home and traveled to her parents house in Broward County. That’s when she filed the report against her husband, but his attorney says Bishop did not intentionally injure his wife.”He was watching television, went to sleep on the couch and woke up with her over him hollering at him. When he told her to go back to bed she threw a glass of wine in his face. They then started a pushing-shoving match and then she may have gotten injured in what I would call a wrestling match. Basically there was some pushing and shoving that took place,” said Waylon Graham, Markus Bishop’s attorney. Along with the picture, Margie Bishop released a statement today saying “in the past I have tried to deal with Markus’ violence and verbal abuse in different ways to no avail. For the benefit of the church and all those, including me, who continue to care for him, it is my sincere hope that he seeks and finally receives proper treatment for his problem.”She goes on to say “I am saddened by his attorney’s public mischaracterization of the recent assault and their desperate attempts to focus the attention away from his brutal attack.

(Hat tip to Spark.)

Now as I said, it’s a charge, not a conviction. It’s a hard thing to prove when these pimps beat on their wives, given it occurs in private. Unless the court convicts him, I can’t say much else. With the Bynum parking lot beat down, there was a 2nd witness. Personally, I would not be surprised if he did it.

But given Markus Bishop has possibly fallen out of line with 1 Peter 3:7 [click to expand link], let’s see what this pulpit pimp is teaching is flock. (And then you’ll see why I call him a pulpit pimp.)

Spark tells me he’s a money pimp, preaching the prosperity doctrine heresy and he seems to be rather open about that and his ties to some other pimps.

Markus Bishop

Markus Bishop is the Senior Pastor of Faith Christian Family Church of Panama City Beach, Florida as well as an internationally known author, speaker, and host of the Faith Is The Victory television broadcast.

In 1993, the Holy Spirit directed Pastor Bishop to take the message of Biblical finances and the anointing of increase to the world. Since then, he has ministered on Kenneth Copeland’s daily television broadcast as well as in financial conferences with Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, Jr. Pastor Bishop’s book, Our Covenant of Prosperity, has sold over 250,000 copies worldwide and has been featured on Trinity Broadcasting Network as well as in Kenneth Copeland’s Believer’s Voice of Victory magazine.

He has received thousands of testimonies of how this message of increase from God’s Word has produced miracles in the finances of those who have put its principles to practice.

Pastor Bishop’s ministry focuses on the local church as he fulfills his call “to prepare God’s people for works of service” (Ephesians 4:12 NIV) and proclaim the message of deliverance and restoration to every area of life - spirit, soul, body, and finances. He encourages others to let the Bible be the final authority in their lives.

So he says that the Holy Spirit told him to go preach money to the world. Well this is what my Bible tells me.

1 Timothy 6:3-5 (New American Standard Bible)

3 If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,

4 he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

Men depraved of mind and deprived of truth are supposing godliness is a means of gain. Markus Bishop is depraved of mind and deprived of the truth. (Well I can’t say he’s guilty of beating his wife, but he’s not looking like a good man.) The Apostles did not go around preaching earthly financial “increase”. They were homeless preaching a message of salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ and telling us to be imitators of them, 1 Corinthians 4:11-16 [click to expand link]. Jesus did not go around preaching financial “increase”. There are no recorded miracles of Christ or the Apostles taking 2 coins and turning them to 5000. Scripture teaches a message of contentment.

Markus Bishop mentions he hangs with heretic Kenneth Copeland. He holds money pimp conferences with heretic Creflo Augustus Dollar, Junior. And of course others of like depraved mind have written him, to tell them that they got money and claimed godliness is a means for financial gain, Luke 6:39-40 [click to expand link].

If he sees the Bible as the final authority, how can he waste time on money, claiming to preach about spirit, soul, body, and finances. He reads like a Christ-less motivational speaker more than anything the Bible shows to be a pastor, 1 Timothy 3. The man is greedy for money and teaching a false doctrine.

But it seems with all his money and fame, he can’t even keep a wife. It would be good if Markus Bishop would strive to earnestly reconcile with his wife and repent of the heresy he spews, but until then, all saints should avoid him and his associates until they repent and turn to sound doctrine.

The Great “You Don’t Have Enough Faith” Lie. And the Great “Don’t Take Medicine or See Doctors” Lie.

Do Madeline Neumann’s parents now realize they had faith, but were deceived?



Word-Faith Kills Again/11yr.old Dies From Treatable Diabetes


(Hat tip to YouTubber jterry316.)

That child is dead and the Lord allowed that child to die, not just because it was her “time” to go, but because her parents are deceived. It was not because they lacked faith in God’s ability, but they are deceived in how to do something like treat a disease God has allowed all people to know how to treat.

1 Timothy 5:23 (New American Standard Bible)

23 No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

When the Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ named Paul wrote to Timothy, God did not have Paul to tell Timothy he needed more “faith” when he had treatable medical problems. God did not have Paul to rush to see Timothy, to pray healing for Timothy. God had Paul to simply give Timothy the widely known treatment, stop drinking so much water and drink a little wine. Historically it is noted that the water in the area Timothy was in had some issues and we see from scripture Timothy had some medical problems. The recommendation of a little wine to a man who avoided strong drink was the prescription Paul gave to Timothy. Because it was the known means to fix the problem. A little wine was the medicine for that matter. And it was a prescription even heathens were aware of. The bottom line is, Timothy was sick and Paul DID NOT tell Timothy to rest on faith, he knew Timothy HAD FAITH, he gave Timothy the common prescription for fixing the problem. A little wine.

Many saints have been deceived into feeling that they need some great mountain of faith, or they will suffer all kinds of catastrophe.

Matthew 17:14-20 (New American Standard Bible)

14 When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

16 “I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

17 And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not drive it out?”

20 And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

This verse is often cited in the Word of Faith movement, the cult of “little gods”. They feel if they will within themselves enough “faith” they’ll have and do anything, because Jesus said nothing would be impossible. What they are missing is the fullness of the statement. Jesus was NOT trying to get people to have faith for healings. He was pressing them to have faith that HE IS THE CHRIST. The miracles were all simply to help them see He is the Christ. The Word of Faith movement, that cult of “little gods” and other similar cults have twisted the gospel AWAY FROM FAITH IN CHRIST FOR SALVATION OF THE SOUL into faith for all things of this world, this life and the flesh. One has to wonder why people in the Word of Faith movement even eat? Why don’t they just have “faith” that their bellies will be full? Nothing impossible right? They realize their physical body needs certain things to survive, including food and water. When the body breaks down, it needs things such as medicines and other treatments God willed man to have via common grace. Just as we eat and drink for our physical survival, we also should use medical treatments when the physical body has need of them.

We know Jesus is the Christ, He paid the price for our sins and He’s on the Right Hand of the Father. During the establishment of His church, some still did not believe. People that God wanted to convince via miracles. So THE APOSTLES were granted power to do things as Christ and greater. In John 14 Jesus was pressing His Apostles to fully believe He is the Son of God and declared what they would be able to do if they did. They were to work ministering His Gospel, as He declared from the Father. Jesus having the fullness of deity, God in flesh, perfect in every way, because He is as His Father who gave Him all, God, John 1:1 [click to expand link], John 1:14 [click to expand link] and John 3:35 [click to expand link]

We humans are not God, not even with a small “g”. We are sinners saved by grace. We who believe as Christ wanted His Apostles to believe, that He truly is the Son of God. The Apostles in working for Christ in the establishment of His church were granted full handle of all gifts of the Spirit. We have the same Holy Spirit as them, but the Lord did not declare we all would have command of all gifts, 1 Corinthians 12. So we don’t have the ability to declare NOTHING is impossible to us, we simply live by faith and accept as the Lord wills.

James 4:15 (New American Standard Bible)

15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.”

Like Timothy who was not an Apostle and did not have all gifts of the Spirit, he could not overcome his ailments without a medicinal treatment, wine. We use what the Lord has made available as the Lord wills, we don’t turn away from it.

1 Timothy 4:1-5 (New American Standard Bible)

1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;

5 for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

No hungry man should turn down any food given to him and no sick person should turn away medicine to cure their ailments. It’s not putting faith in man to take medicine no more than its putting faith in man to eat a steak. (Thank God for steaks :) .) No good saint puts their faith in the medicine or in the steak or in man, but in Christ. We go to the doctor because he has studied how the body works and can help maintain it. When our car breaks, we don’t leave it on the side of the road waiting in “faith” for NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE faith to repair the car. Using what the Lord has willed us to have accessible to us for the body to survive is not bad or any lack of faith. God has given the things for our use and we should be grateful for it. So long as it is not something we know harms the body and we know the TRUTH that Jesus is Lord, we should make full use of what God has granted to us, thankfully, it’s sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

This does not mean God won’t ever do something miraculous, but it’s as He wills and we must use things obviously at our disposal rather than refusing them. Accept easy access to a medical cure as a miracle in its self, considering what saints in other nations suffer through. They would love to have easier medical treatment of some of their physical ailments.

So Word of Faith people, please turn from that “little god” heresy. Enough people have already died. And I know not all of you go as far as Madeline Neumann’s parents, I used to be one of you myself and I always went to the doctor. However, I have seen someone refuse medical care till death in “faith”, I know some who are very ill for slacking off on doctor prescribed medicine and your wayward doctrine causes you to error even if not in cases of medicine. You can only do as the Lord wills and should not take yourself as some super being with nothing you can’t do. You do the work of God as the Lord commands, accept what He has granted you with thanksgiving and contentment and keep faith on Him for eternal life.

Toronto Airport (So-Called) Christian Fellowship, A Cult. Bringing You Out of Order Worship and Cult Activity Since 1994!

Check out the promotional video the cult known as the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship has produced. They are rather proud of their out of order behavior. But some aspects of the cult they don’t mention in the video, but check out their promo video and then I’ll share more with you about why they are a cult. Although, the video should make it obvious.



Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship EPK

Now if you don’t know what is wrong with that video, please check this out.

And notice how they laud cultists like Benny Hinn and Kathryn Kuhlman.

They talk of a “transferable” fire, but it’s not really about faith in Christ for salvation. It’s about jumping around and getting all worked up, then claiming it was Gawd because you got yourself sweaty. And they want to soak the world in this foolishness! They speak of the fulfillment of Joel 2:28-29, but guess where that already happened and never resembled the nonsense in that video? Read Acts 2. Peter said this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel. What was happening with the Apostles and those establishing the church, not John And Carol Arnott. The Holy Spirit now pours on all who receive Christ in truth, by way of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in every believer, the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Learn About the Holy Spirit. What is taking place in that video is unbiblical!

See other details here of why Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF) is a cult. (Warning, you might want to turn your PC audio down before clicking that link or the link below.)

And it’s a rather protective cult too. When they get exposed too much, they take the person exposing them to court.

So if you’re ever in Toronto, you have one less place to worry about going to and can spend your time better elsewhere.

60 Detroit Ministers Pledge Their Support to 12-Count Felony Charged Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

by @ 11:07 am. Filed under Nuts on Parade

They say they’ve been “called” to do so!

60 Detroit ministers pledge their support to beleaguered Kilpatrick

About 60 Detroit ministers pledged their unwavering support for embattled Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick this afternoon.

Pastors representing multiple denominations, gathered at Corinthian Baptist Church in Hamtramck to publicize their belief that Kilpatrick deserves forgiveness and compassion.

“The mayor is not standing alone,” said the Rev. E.L. Branch, pastor of Third New Hope Baptist Church in Detroit. “We’re holding him up in prayer all the way through.”

Moments before the ministers convened, Kilpatrick was arraigned in 36th District Court on eight felony counts, including perjury. The Free Press published text messages shared between Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff Christine Beatty that revealed the two lied under oath about a extramarital affair and the firing of former Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown.

“We’re called to stand with him at a time of trial in his life,” said the Rev. Skip Wachsman, pastor of Genesis Lutheran Church in Detroit. “He’s not guilty of anything; he has been charged.”

Two weeks ago, the pastors’ council voted 34-24 not to issue a letter calling for Kilpatrick to resign over the scandal. The council, which represents 400 clergy members, endorsed Kilpatrick’s policies in his 2005 re-election bid.

(Hat tip to Ron_B for the article.)

Now when someone can show me where the Lord Jesus or His Apostles stood in the way of a government prosecution I’ll agree with all 60 of those “ministers”. In scripture (THAT WOULD BE THE BIBLE WITH 66 BOOKS) it says government is SUPPOSED TO PROSECUTE EVIL, Romans 13:1-5 [click to expand link]. I am amazed at how America in many ways resembles Rome, but people claiming the Lord’s name won’t properly hold to what is in the letter God had Paul send to saints in Rome (the book of Romans in the Bible). And for you who desire to toss out the “judge not” line citing Romans 2. Go read it all, that was not about government prosecution, but rather people without Christ trying to pass godly judgment by use of Mosaic Law. Also it speaks against hypocritical judgment, judging what someone is doing themselves. The Jew can’t boast in the Law, all of them have broken it and need a savior (TO BELIEVE ON JESUS AS THE CHRIST, MESSIAH AND LORD) like we all do. This does not mean we ignore government being empowered BY GOD to prosecute people who do evil. And saints are to judge people who claim the Lord’s name, as to whether they are fit for association, 1 Corinthians 5.

Now a “minister” claiming he was “called” to stand with Kilpatrick in opposition to the prosecutorial efforts, not only means some or all of them stand with Kilpatrick in personal support. They feel God Himself has charged them to stand with Kilpatrick in his assertion of innocence. They are calling for an end to what is not just ordained by God in terms of a trial, but has EVIDENCE IN KILPATRICK’S OWN MESSAGES THAT HE’S NEVER DENIED ARE HIS MESSAGES.

And this disturbs me for even more reasons. Check out the videos below.



MANOOGIAN MANSION PARTY Ch 4 INVESTIGATION



Did Kwame Kilpatrick Murder Tamara Greene?

If this evidence was connected with Jeb Bush and that stripper was somebody paying them 10%, do you think the 60 mentioned above would be standing with Jeb Bush?

Ministers as a collective body giving political endorsements is bad enough, but what they are standing in opposition of here is something they should be staying out of. For any minister to claim they were “called” for such means they are hearing from something other than God. They need prayer, but not in support of their efforts.

“D-Day” in Detroit: Thuggish, Pan-Islamist Mayor Kwame “The Kingpin” Kilpatrick Learns His Fate; UPDATE: Hizzoner Kilpatrick Charged in 12-Count Felony Criminal Complaint

By Debbie Schlussel

As I’ve written, this isn’t just about lying under oath. It’s about a party that took place at the Manoogian Mayoral Mansion, at which two strippers performed, and were later assassinated. It’s about a cover-up of that party and the later drive-by shooting of one of those strippers, Tamara Greene a/k/a “Strawberry” by police bullets. It’s about the Mayor’s Ms. Thang wife, Carlita Kilpatrick, walking in on Strawberry en flagrante delicto with the Thuggish, Pan-Islamist Mayor (many of whose family members are in the Nation of Islam) and beating the stripper with a baseball bat, giving her a concussion (for which the stripper was rushed to the hospital), and the subsequent cover-up.

And, more importantly to me, it’s about a corrupt, lying Republican Michigan Attorney General, Mike Cox, who claims to be a conservative, but is just another operator in the same Wayne County political machine as the liberal Democrat Detroit Mayor. Republican Attorney General, Cox, covered up the party, what happened there, and the resulting execution-style assassination of two strippers who performed there. And Cox stopped Michigan State Police at every turn as they tried to investigate–all while he called it “an urban legend that never happened” (which he knows is false).

That’s called “obstruction of justice,” one of the crimes for which Mayor Kilpatrick may have to stand trial. But Mike Cox won’t stand for trial for his cover-up. And now, Cox is running for Governor (the site MikeCoxforGovernor.com has been reserved by his apparatus). The Michigan Republican primary will be his trial. All of the voters in Michigan can be self-appointed jurors by voting in that trial.

Don’t forget that Cox is also the man who pandered to a Hezbollah agent of the Government of Iran and other Islamist supporters of terrorism as he sought re-election, and allowed illegal aliens to get Michigan Driver’s Licenses for five years. He also allowed Muslim alien women to continue to defraud Medicaid to have their children here, and allowed them to leave the country before he put out meaningless warrants for their arrest. Even worse, he took actions to tip off these women and their American helpers that they were under investigation, so they would avoid future detection. The guy is a sleazebag, as much as the Detroit Mayor is.

And this video was just too funny not to include in this post.



LEAVE KWAME ALONE!

I don’t know what they put in the water up in Detroit that has people supporting him, but I’m glad I’m not drinking it! There should already be a recall election under way, given he won’t leave on his own.

Credit Cards and Usury in America

by @ 8:02 pm. Filed under Business

Given how Pulpit Pimps seem to be OK with them when being used on their behalf, I wanted to provide a bit more information about how credit cards have caused many of America’s current issues. And there’s plenty of blame to go around, but the bottom line is that America has a debt problem now from top to bottom. With the average consumer, credit cards are a major source and it started being big once our government made it easier for banks to practice usury.

usury Dictionary.com

1. the lending or practice of lending money at an exorbitant interest.
2. an exorbitant amount or rate of interest, esp. in excess of the legal rate.
3. Obsolete. interest paid for the use of money.

I hope you noticed definition #3. Once upon a time on planet earth, charging any interest on money loaned to someone else was the definition of usury. In time it has changed to being very high interest rates, which credit cards are for many.

Below is a video that details how the credit card industry started booming in America. Of course almost all of us have helped in that.



Frontline - Secret History of the Credit Card (2004)

Under the old covenant the nation of Israel was forbidden to charge interest on loans to their own people. They could charge interest to people outside of their nation that they loaned money to. While we are not under the old covenant, the biblical definition of usury is still something to think about.

I’m having trouble finding biblical justification for Christians to engage in any sort of usury when I consider the following.

Matthew 5:42 (New American Standard Bible)

42 “Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

I’ve found that scripture offers a very logical reason for nations to flat out ban usury. So I just want to share that with you, hoping perhaps the video helps drive the point home.

Nehemiah 5:1-13 (New American Standard Bible)

1 Now there was a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers.

2 For there were those who said, “We, our sons and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain that we may eat and live.”

3 There were others who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our houses that we might get grain because of the famine.”

4Also there were those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our fields and our vineyards.

5 “Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”

6 Then I was very angry when I had heard their outcry and these words.

7 I consulted with myself and contended with the nobles and the rulers and said to them, “You are exacting usury, each from his brother!” Therefore, I held a great assembly against them.

8 I said to them, “We according to our ability have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?” Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.

9 Again I said, “The thing which you are doing is not good; should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

10 “And likewise I, my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please, let us leave off this usury.

11 “Please, give back to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money and of the grain, the new wine and the oil that you are exacting from them.”

12 Then they said, “We will give it back and will require nothing from them; we will do exactly as you say ” So I called the priests and took an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

13 I also shook out the front of my garment and said, “Thus may God shake out every man from his house and from his possessions who does not fulfill this promise; even thus may he be shaken out and emptied ” And all the assembly said, “Amen!” And they praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

Usury causes a nation to feed on its self, especially in times of financial crisis. Leaving the rich with everything and the rest struggling to eat. I’m not trying to have America “ban” all usury as the term is defined biblically. There were money changers when Jesus walked the earth in flesh and He didn’t turn over their tables when they operated outside the temple, He just didn’t allow them INSIDE. But I do find that America’s financial crisis becomes worse with more people owing more and government even owing more to foreign nations. And really our fiat currency system has gotten to a point where nobody having any loans would oddly result in America having less money or some say no money. It seems that it would be good practice by a government to keep interest rates under some sort of control. This does not mean I feel people with bad credit should get loans at the lowest rate or no interest rate, but perhaps people with bad credit would be better off if they were denied loans till they saved more?

Anyone without Christ is going to burn, but I’m just pondering this fine credit mess America is in. Because it’s becoming apparent to me that uncapped usury is not a good thing. And pulpit pimps only prove themselves to be vipers by participating in accepting credit cards for church donations.

Anyway, avoid debt as best you can.
