Guest Voice: DON’T ALL RELIGIONS LEAD TO GOD? By David W. Cloud
I know I should not have to put this little disclaimer in here; but because there are some people, who do not have enough brain cells to figure it out. I will. The following was NOT written by me. It was written by a Fundamentalist Baptist Missionary in Asia. The link below does go to his website. You can buy his materials over at the website. I am not, nor have I ever been affiliated with Way of Life Ministries. I simply like David W. Cloud’s writings. Nor do I profit from any of the purchases made over on Bro. Cloud’s website. I simply put the link up as courtesy to his Ministry.
Thanks,
-Patrick

There is a Hindu saying, “The truth is One, but different sages call it by
different names.”
This is a common misconception that is held by many non-Hindus, as well.
But it can’t be true that “all paths lead to God” for the simple reason that
they point in different directions!
If I said to you that I am planning to go to Washington D.C. tomorrow from Nepal
and that to get there I am just going to board any airplane and start flying in
any direction I please, you would think I am crazy. We all know that you have to
follow the right path or you will never arrive at your intended destination.
Likewise, the only way to get to heaven is to follow the right road, and Jesus
Christ claims to be that Road. If He is not, he was either a liar, a lunatic, or
a deceived man.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

Video: Is the biography of President Barack Obama a big lie?
This comes via Yid with a Lid:
Quote:
Few if any of his predecessors took the oath of office with higher public hopes for his success than President Obama on Jan. 20, 2009.
Millions of Americans hailed his election as an end to partisanship, a renewal of the spirit of compromise and a reinvigoration of the nation’s highest ideals at home and abroad.
Above all, as America’s first black chief executive, Obama symbolized the healing of long-festering wounds that were the terrible national legacy of slavery, the Reconstruction Era and Jim Crow. We would be, finally, one nation.
But after nearly four years in office, Obama has become a sharply polarizing figure.
His admirers believe he deserves a special place alongside Wilson, the Roosevelts and LBJ as one of the architects of benevolent government.
His critics believe he is trying to remake America in the image of Europe’s social democracies, replacing America’s ethos of independence and individual enterprise with a welfare state inflamed by class divisions.
Read the rest of this story right here at the Washington Examiner.
This is one of the reasons why this story here, that I reported, does not make any sense. Why would Obama want to leave that Chicago machine; if he is so connected to it?
Either way, go check out the story; it is very interesting.
Follow up: Jack Schaap, Former Pastor of First Baptist Church, could get 10 years for affair with a minor
You remember the story about Jack Schaap, the Pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana?
Well, Mr. Schaap has signed a plea agreement with the Federal Government. The Christian Post has more:
Jack Schaap, former pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond in Indiana, has signed a plea agreement in the U.S. District Court in Hammond admitting his relationship with a young woman when she was just 16. Schaap was charged with inappropriate behavior and taking a minor across state lines for the purpose of sex, and may be facing up to 10 years in prison.
“I have agreed, as set forth in a separate filing with the Court, to wave my right to Indictment by a federal Grand Jury with respect to the charge of transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and to plead guilty to that charge,” reads Schaap’s plea agreement in court documents obtained by The Christian Post.
The court document also states that the expected sentence for such a crime could be up to 120 months, or 10 years incarceration
(….)
…First Baptist Church of Hammond relieved the pastor of his duties last month after a deacon apparently found a text message on his cell phone that showed the pastor and the girl kissing.
In the plea agreement, Schaap revealed that the relationship with the girl lasted two months, and that he had taken her from Indiana to Illinois and Michigan to have sex with her, the documents show.
The 54-year-old pastor, who served the 15,000-member Hammond church for 11 years and had been trying to reconcile his marriage with his wife, may have to give up a number of items prosecutors believe he used in his communications with the teenage girl, including an iPad and iPhone, a digital camera and voice recorder, and two computer flash drives. According to records, Schaap had been counseling the girl when their relationship began.
I hate to be the one to say it about this man, but, it is the truth; the Man brought the whole thing on himself. There are some who believe that this man was simply carrying on the tradition of his Father-in-Law, Jack Hyles. However, the thing that these people have to prove this little accusation is hearsay and accusations from disgruntled former members of the Church. However, I have listened to this mans preaching in the past and there were things that bothered me. So, the fact that this man was brought up on charges, does not surprise me at all.
Again, it is a sad thing to behold; but, the Church is making it still and doing well. I pray for this man and his family.

Memo to the Romney Campaign: Please, buck up!
Alright, time to go George Patton on these idiots. But first the story:
8:42 p.m. | Updated SALT LAKE CITY – Mitt Romney’s traveling press secretary walked to the back of the candidate’s plane midflight on Tuesday and teasingly asked a pair of journalists in an exit row if they were “willing and able to assist in case of an emergency.”
Under the circumstances, it was hard to tell whether it was a question or a request.
A palpably gloomy and openly frustrated mood has begun to creep into Mr. Romney’s campaign for president. Well practiced in the art of lurching from public relations crisis to public relations crisis, his team seemed to reach its limit as it digested a ubiquitous set of video clips that showed their boss candidly describing nearly half of the country’s population as government-dependent “victims,” and saying that he would “kick the ball down the road” on the biggest foreign policy challenge of the past few decades, the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
Grim-faced aides acknowledged that it was an unusually dark moment, made worse by the self-inflicted, seemingly avoidable nature of the wound. In low-volume, out-of-the-way conversations, a few of them are now wondering whether victory is still possible and whether they are entering McCain-Palin ticket territory.
It may prove a fleeting anxiety: national polls show the race remains close, even though Mr. Romney trails in some key swing states.
Still, a flustered adviser, describing the mood, said that the campaign was turning into a vulgar, unprintable phrase.
via A Mood of Gloom Afflicts the Romney Campaign – NYTimes.com.
Okay now; Gentleman, your attention please. Now, listen. You did not think that this election was going to be handed to you on some sort of golden platter did you? Nothing is won, without some sort of a fight. The Democrats are just not going to let you walk all over them and hand the election to you. Oh heck no….. They are going to do everything in their power to hold on to that office of President. It is the only thing they have left.
I give you the words, of General Patton:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b5g1avyCSA&hd=1
Gentlemen of the campaign to elect Governor Mitt Romney to President of the United States — this is war, it is war for the soul of America. This is no place, for sidewalk sissies, for pussies who are scared to fight for America. While you are not fighting against the Japanese or Nazi’s. You are fighting against those, who want to change the face of America around the world. As Americans, we cannot allow this to happen. We have a mission and it is about damned time, that you fools who are being paid to put Governor Romney in the White House, to start earning your money that you are paid.
It is at the point, where the Romney campaign is at “do or die.” This is no place to start giving up, this is the stage where we start fighting like hell. The other side knows this and is now really starting to fight. We know who our friends are and it is not the establishment. Therefore, we must fight this battle ourselves. We cannot allow the other side to define us; if we do we will lose this battle and I mean badly. We must fight with what we have; and that is the facts. The truth is on our side and we can win this; if we fight this battle properly.
The media, outside of maybe Fox News Channel and other smaller Conservative outlets — is not our friend and we should not try to pretend otherwise. They are not reliable, they are not to be trusted, and they should only told and given; what they really need to know. The Blogging world is, for the most part, against us. Even some blogs, that call themselves Conservative; are not on our side at all. They too, should be treated with suspicion and distance should be kept from them.
So, in closing: To the staff of the Mitt Romney campaign, I give this request: If you are not in this battle win and I mean win big — get out now, please. The last thing we need, are people that are not interested in winning the war against the progressive liberal left. The last thing we need, are people that will fold like a deck of cards in the face of the liberal elite, and the liberal controlled media.
Gentleman, this is war and if you are not in it, to win it — then leave and let those who want to win, work for that campaign. We have too much at stake here in this election and losing, is just not an option.
God Bless America.

Sad News: Church van crash kills two Baptists in TN
So sad to get news like this:
Two people were killed and 12 others injured Sunday morning when a van carrying youth from Cedar Grove Baptist Church in Maryville, Tenn., collided head-on with an SUV while returning from a weekend retreat in Gatlinburg.
The driver of the van, Jeff Trussell, and teenager Courteney Kaliszewski were killed. Ten passengers ranging from middle school to college age were transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Two of those were transferred to Children’s Hospital. According to local media, at least two Lifestar helicopters and three ambulances transported the victims.
The driver of the SUV, 21-year-old Tyler J. Schaeffer of Seymour, Tenn., crossed the center line of Chapman Highway in Sevier County and struck the van head on, causing it to catch fire. Strangers stopped to help rescue passengers in the church van and offer aid until emergency vehicles arrived.
