God Bless John MacArthur for standing for the truth!

I have a new respect for this man. God Bless him for being bold enough to call a spade, a spade:

The Rev. John MacArthur, influential author, pastor and seminary president, responded to critics of the three-day Strange Fire conference at his Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, Calif., that many pastors believe is causing dissention among the faithful because he’s teaching that the Charismatic movement is leading people astray and dishonors the Holy Spirit.

MacArthur commented that some of his critics have said that he’s fixated on the Charismatic movement, a claim he countered by noting that in his 45 years in ministry, this was his first conference he’s held on the movement, and believes it’s come too late.

“In response to this conference, there have been some attacks, and we’ve been unable to escape them,” MacArthur said to the more than 3,000 attendees at the conference Friday night. “I just want to address those, because I do think that it’s important to answer the criticisms that have come.”

He first commented that he hosted the Strange Fire conference to help the Church, and people who believe the Bible is the word of God and that God has revealed Himself clearly and consistently and without contradiction.

“This is for the true church, so that they can discern; so that they can be protected from error; and so that they can be a source of truth for others outside the church,” he said, adding that his book, Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit With Counterfeit Worship, can withstand the most intense scrutiny, when measured against the word of God in the Bible.

As a former Pentecostal of 21 years, I am glad to see that this man has dared to stand against false doctrine in the body of Christ.

Why I blocked @BruceCarrollSC on Twitter

I have noticed amongst the tea party movement, and conservative movement since Bush left office; an open hostile attitude towards the Christian right.

Here is proof of that:

For the record, that happens to be the owner of the blog named GayPatriot. He is now on twitter backpedaling and saying that his comments were taken out of context. A rather lame excuse, if you ask me. Sorry, I do not buy the stupid sarcasm excuse. I was not born yesterday. 😡

To that I simply said:

Because, I figure, if this homosexual so-called “Conservative” does not mind wishing that all Christians should be just thrown into the water and drown; then I do not mind calling him what he truly is, which a sin-depraved faggot, who is going to split hell wide open. My question to this mongrel is this; would you really say that about Jewish people, would you say that about Muslims too? The smart answer is no, you wouldn’t. You decided to say that about the religious people who won’t fight back; Christians like me.

Well, guess what there Gay fake Patriot, this Christian fights back for his Faith! 😡

The part that really steams me about this; is the fact that I would expect this sort of stupidity from the likes of Ed Brayton and the atheists on the left; But, from someone that is supposedly on our side? It makes me sick, and I am speaking out about it. You do not like me; because of my faith? Then, in my book; you are no better than the Islamists who slammed those plans into the trade center towers, the pentagon and the one headed for the white house.

End of discussion.

Wow: America’s Evangelist Billy Graham Turning 95

If I ever live that long, I hope I am able to get around as good as Billy Graham does.

The Story:

Evangelist Billy Graham turns 95 next month. His son, Franklin Graham, said hundreds have been invited to his father’s Nov. 7 birthday celebration.

Despite his advanced age, there are no signs that “America’s pastor” is slowing down.

This summer, he completed his latest book, The Reason for My Hope, along with an outreach video, titled “My Hope America with Billy Graham.”

Franklin said his father dictated the text and had it read back to him because his vision is poor.

He added that his father isn’t sure how he’ll feel on any given day, “until he’s had his cup of coffee.”

While I respect Billy Graham, and honor his age and all the accomplishments that he has made to the cause of Christ; I must be honest. I do, as a Fundamentalist Christian, have issues with Rev. Graham’s Ministry. Please see here and here for what they are, please.

My best to Rev. Graham on his 95’th Birthday. 😀

Another good reason why I’m pro-life

This comes via lifenews.com:

Imitation continues to the be the sincerest form of flattery. Unable to cope with the positive effects of the 40 Days for Life prayer campaign — the closing of abortion centers, conversion of abortion clinic staff to the pro-life perspective, and reduction in abortions — they’re using sacrilegious prayers and fake websites to mock the campaign.

Abortion activists have put up a fake 40 Days for Tacos web site and have manipulated pictures the 40 Days for Life campaign has posted of pro-life advocates across the country by modifying their pictures with fake images of tacos and the mocking slogan “Pray to End Starvation

See this is why I don’t like the pro abortion crowd. Not only are they a bunch of barbaric child murdering fools, but not one of them has an original thought.

The abortionists cannot counter the argument the life is precious, and that the life of an unborn child should be protected and that what they do is barbaric murder;  so they resort to mockery.

Its just a textbook example of the fact that the anti Christian left is intellectually bankrupt and they have lost the argument on the subject of abortion. Americans are realizing that abortion is just not a valid solution any longer.

This here is just a textbook example of how the pro-life crowd has won the argument about human life at conception.

LifeNews.com calls it flattery, I prefer the term desperate flailing.
