When God Says, “Leave Him Alone”
May 13
Our God is long-suffering and full of mercy, but there is a line which must not be crossed. It is dangerous to presume that God will always continue to forgive; He can become a "consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29). The leaders of Ephraim (a collective term for the ten northern tribes of Israel) had passed this point of no return. They had become completely infatuated with the pantheistic polytheism of the nations, being "joined" to their symbolic models of natural forces and all the immoral practices which accompanied such nature worship. The word for "joined" means "fascinated by." They had been brought so deeply under the occult powers behind these nature-god idols as to be irrevocably committed to them, so that it would be a waste of time and tears to try to reclaim them now.
Reverend Crucifies Bunny on a Cross
Apr 14
“He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” Mark 7:6 The year was 2002 and I was just completing a very hard day’s journey hiking a nine mile portion of the Appalachian Trail’s famed “100 Mile Wilderness”, located in the rugged mountains of central Maine. As I approached the “Rainbow Ledge Shelter” (a small three sided building for A.T. hikers), I was met by a scraggly fellow. His appearance was somewhat shocking to me initially. His clothes were dirty, his shoes worn from miles of traveling and he has tattoos up and down every inch of his exposed thighs.
Knights Templar was Hiding a Dead Man’s Laundry – not the Shroud of Turin!
Apr 06
Medieval knights hid and secretly venerated The Holy Shroud of Turin for more than 100 years after the Crusades, the Vatican said Sunday in an announcement that appeared to solve the mystery of the relic’s missing years. The Knights Templar, an order which was suppressed and disbanded for alleged heresy, took care of the linen cloth, which bears the image of a man with a beard, long hair and the wounds of crucifixion, according to Vatican researchers. The Shroud, which is kept in the royal chapel of Turin Cathedral, has long been revered as the shroud in which Jesus was buried, although the image only appeared clearly in 1898 when a photographer developed a negative. Barbara Frale, a researcher in the Vatican Secret Archives, said the Shroud had disappeared in the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade, and did not surface again until the middle of the fourteenth century. Writing in L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, Frale said its fate in those years had always puzzled historians.
