When the question is posed: “Is Jesus a socialist?†The clear answer is “Of course not!†The claim that Jesus was a socialist was recently posed by Gregory Paul in The Washington Post who tries to argue for a biblically mandated socialism from the early chapters of Acts.[1] Paul’s claims are nothing new and have likely arisen out of the overall debate our nation is involved in concerning socialism vs. free markets. President Obama and his crowd want socialism, while the rest of the nation wants to move away from government control of the economy....... [Hidden Content]

Are you talking bad about people making assumptions by making assumptions about people?

“God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can't. If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata -of creatures that worked like machines- would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they've got to be free. Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk. (...) If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will -that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings- then we may take it it is worth paying.†― C.S. Lewis, The Case for Christianity

“An Open Letter to Lifeway and Other Sellers, Buyers, and Marketers of Heaven Tourism, by the Boy Who Did Not Come Back From Heaven.†Please forgive the brevity, but because of my limitations I have to keep this short. I did not die. I did not go to Heaven. I said I went to heaven because I thought it would get me attention. When I made the claims that I did, I had never read the Bible. People have profited from lies, and continue to. They should read the Bible, which is enough. The Bible is the only source of truth. Anything written by man cannot be infallible. It is only through repentance of your sins and a belief in Jesus as the Son of God, who died for your sins (even though he committed none of his own) so that you can be forgiven may you learn of Heaven outside of what is written in the Bible…not by reading a work of man. I want the whole world to know that the Bible is sufficient. Those who market these materials must be called to repent and hold the Bible as enough. In Christ, Alex Malarkey.†----------- background info-------- [Hidden Content] Lifeway has been selling The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven for many years now. It is part of the trifecta of books on “heavenly tourism†that Lifeway has sold and has promoted, along with 90 Minutes in Heaven and Heaven is for Real. The co-author of The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven – the boy himself – has written an open letter to Lifeway and admonished them for not holding to the sufficiency of Scripture, and has recanted his tale. For those who may not be familiar with ofThe Boy Who Came Back From Heaven, the publisher’s description is as follows

Personal Financial Cyber Security: Paper Financial Statement Records Are Essential By Richard Shaw Thursday, December 25, 2014 1:16 AM EST Views: 9292 Don't save a tree -- save your savings. Saving a tree by going paperless is nice, but protecting your financial future is more important. Sony/North Korea adds another warning sign of your need to do something very simple to avoid a potential financial disaster. Keep paper statements. Electronic statements from brokerages, banks and other financial firms are convenient, keep things tidy, and "save trees"; but they expose you to potentially devastating economic losses in extreme situations. Keeping PDF files of your monthly or quarterly statements on your hard drive (and backup) is a good idea; and also receiving statements by mail or keeping paper printouts is an even better idea. Why? Because the growing frequency and severity of hacker attacks on US corporations (Sony -SNE) being the most recent example of completely erased databases), and attacks on major retailers and some banks (such as JP Morgan - JPM) foreshadows the possibility someday that who you are, what accounts you own, and what is in those accounts, could be erased, modified or scrambled beyond recognition or reconstruction in a cyber-attack. Picture the pickle you would be in if you tried to withdraw money from your bank and they said they have no record of you. Or, what if your broker said their records show completely different securities or number of shares than you know you have? What if it would all be straightened out eventually, but you did not have enough cash to make it until "eventually" arrives? Just imagine being on hold on the phone as 1 million clients of your brokerage are all calling trying to get their money or to straighten out the data errors in their records after the attack. Good luck with that. You would have a much better chance of getting sorted out successfully, if you had a paper trail of historical statements. Yes, you could print the PDF files, but what if the nature of the attack wiped out your computer? Or what if you find when you need them, that somehow they were erased by you, or your computer died and the data could not be retrieved? [Hidden Content]

Not 40 but 30...The quote is credited to Winston Churchill and the age was thirty not forty. Also American Liberalism is not the same thing as to what Sir Winston Churchill was talking about when he said Liberal.
-
[ Forenote: Sir Winston Churchill has been recognized as one of the greatest men of the late nineteenth and of the twentieth century. He was an extraordinary war leader to whom the Western World must be forever in debt. He was a prophet in his own time as this quotation, written well over 100 years ago, demonstrates.] "How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step, and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.†[ Postnotes: (1) Sir Winston, as an officer of the British Army, served in the Sudan and in the Crimean War; in both instances against the Muslims. These experiences gave him ample opportunity to observe the structure of Islamic society. (2) Churchill’s quotes were taken from the volume: Sir Winston Churchill; “The River Warâ€, first edition, Volume II, pages 248-250, published by Longmans, Green & Company, 1899. (3) If Sir Winston were alive today, it is doubtful that a person in Great Britain criticizing Islam publicly could be arrested, and then fined or jailed, and even more doubtful that any Muslims would be sitting in the English Parliament! ] [Hidden Content]

What makes America America? What distinguishes this country from the nations of the world--or from world history, for that matter? Even casual historians must admit that there has never been a country like the United States of America ever to exist. This nation is unique to world history. There has never been a country like this--and probably will never be one like it again. As hard as it is for the anti-God types to admit, America has a deeply-rooted Christian history and culture. However, when one says, “America is a Christian country,†(usually spoken by a Christian, of course), he or she may mean something that NEVER existed. So, let’s set the record straight: America was never founded as a theocracy. And even though there are some well-meaning, albeit naïve, Christian people today who pretend that America once had, and should have again, a theocratic-type government and society, the fact is, America was NEVER a theocracy.......... [Hidden Content] .........The assault against the United States is massive. We are fast losing our Christian heritage and culture--and Christians are as much to blame as anyone. They have tried to turn the Lord’s Church into a playground or entertainment center--or even worse, a corporation. Phariseeism is rampant. As a result, unbelievers have lost all respect for churches in general. I, for one, don’t blame them. We have lost our understanding of, and appreciation for, Natural Law. Even most pastors cannot articulate the fundamental principles of Natural Law, even though this is the Law upon which America was founded. This means, we have lost the true meaning of America’s Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. We cheer as our country has turned into a “Warfare State.†We applaud as our nation has turned into an Orwellian surveillance society. We are losing our common language, our common history and heritage, and our common faith. Christianity in 2014-15 is not even comparable to Christianity in 1775-76. We have traded Jonas Clark for Joel Osteen. Yes, the very people who claim to love America the most and who claim to be interested in her blessing and prosperity are too often the very ones who are helping to destroy her.

Since Illinois enacted a law permitting more people to carry concealed firearms, more than 65,000 people got permits to do so. Rates of robbery, burglary and motor vehicle thefts have dropped significantly, and the murder rate has fallen to a level not seen in more than half a century. If only the gun control fanatics would pay some attention to facts, a lot of lives could be saved. Read more at [Hidden Content]

But at our much-anticipated 20-week ultrasound, we were told that Aila had severe growth defects and potentially a life-threatening form of a skeletal disorder. After declining the immediate recommendation that we end my pregnancy, we decided to seek a second opinion and get a clearer diagnosis.....Aila was born three months premature on June 24th at 7:53 pm. She weighed a tiny 1 pound 5.8 ounces and passed away at 8:39 pm, only 46 minutes after her birth. But Danielle and her husband have no regrets and fell deeply in love with their daughter during her short life. [Hidden Content];
