Well, it’s May 22, 2011. We’re all still here and Harold Camping is nowhere to be found. This was fairly predictable. Now if you listened to the MSM you’d probably be under the impression that most Christians believed they were going to be beamed up yesterday. This of course is not so. Most Christians believed the false prophet was uttering complete nonsense as no one knows the day nor the hour before the Father has revealed it. However the media would hate to waste a golden opportunity to lump all Christians together with the fringe nut Camping. While you’re tuning in today you’ll see the pundits mocking not only Camping but Christianity altogether. The Atheists certainly aren’t going to miss the opportunity to spread their own version of evangelizing. They’re planning a summit to spread secularism because of the failed prophecy. Read the article here.
I hope Harold Camping (where ever he might be) realizes the damage he has done. People who wrongly put their faith in him might end up losing their faith altogether. He should be ashamed of himself for misleading people yet again. I pray that people will see through these kinds of false teachings and go to God Himself for the answers. Answers you won’t find from Camping nor your TV screen.
It seems the Shroud of Turin has gained popularity these days. For those of you who don’t know what the Shroud is, it is believed to be the burial cloth of Yeshua (Jesus Christ). About twenty years ago it had been dismissed as a fake due to a Carbon 14 test that dated it to the 1300’s. However with the advancement of science, other techniques have given us contradictory results which has made experts question the accuracy of the Carbon 14 test altogether. Some of you might remember the History Channel’s special called “The Real Face of Jesus?” in which a team try to digitally reconstruct the face of Jesus using the Shroud of Turin. Since then there have been other documentaries that have gone even farther into the science of trying to figure out the authenticity of the Shroud. Below I have posted 2 videos which are the first parts of the separate documentaries. One called “The Gospel of the Shroud” and the other “New Science Now Proves Jesus Christ”. I strongly encourage you to watch all parts.
Last month a supposed “Christian” music artist had a coming out party live on Larry King. To be perfectly honest before the televised scandal I had no idea who Jennifer Knapp was. Thank God. I truly have empathy for those who have followed Knapp’s musical career and looked up to her to be one of those “little lights” shinning for Christ. They were all deceived.
Again since I didn’t know much about her I decided to do a web search to find out more about this supposed “Christian”. I know your not suppose to judge a book by its cover but a picture is truly worth a thousand words. The first photo I came across (above left) is very telling. I could see the cunning in her eyes. That also showed during her interview with Larry King. She was very cocky and smug. With many of her arguments it seems she didn’t know much about true Christianity. Frankly, she didn’t seem like she knew what the heck she was talking about.
One of the arguments that Knapp brought up was questioning the authenticity of Bible translations on the issue of homosexuality. To be blunt the only ones who bring up the “That’s up for translation..” argument are the ones offended by what the Bible says. With this argument they usually referer to the Greek texts that they claim are “mistranslated”. What about the Old Testament? What about the Hebrew? The Jews still teach that the immorality of Sodom and Gomorrah was homosexuality. They’re Bible is in Hebrew. They speak Hebrew. So how do you question they’re translation? There is no misunderstanding there. It is what it is.
So in this passage we know that Jesus, on the subject of marriage and coming together as one flesh, reaffirmed the previous law that it was between a man and a woman. Therefore there was no change from what the Jews taught in the Old Testament about homosexuality and the New Testament. That stayed the same.
During this interview on Larry King they had Pastor Bob Botsford to debate this subject. Bob and Jennifer went back and forth and said something to Bob that was surprising to say the least.
I thought to myself “Did she really just say that?!” I mean, how dare that Preacher expect a girl in his congregation to choose everlasting life over her sexual desires! Surely a woman who claims to be a Christian should know that everyday is a battle between choosing God or choosing the world. Jesus said in Matthew 12:30 that: “He who is not with me is against me.” You cannot have it both ways. If it’s between everlasting life and your sexual desires, you choose LIFE!
It was inevitable perhaps. There would be other lukewarm “Christians” who would try to defend the singer by justifying sin. They start off with the “Don’t cast the first stone” logic to invoke this notion that we shouldn’t judge. Failing to mention that we are suppose to judge with righteous judgement. (John 7:24) Also failing to mention that at the end of John Chapter 8 Jesus told the woman to not sin anymore. Because when all else fails they revert to the “We’re all sinners” logic. Yes, we’re all sinners but what separates the real Christians from everyone else is conviction and repentance. John the Baptist and Jesus didn’t go around preaching “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!…buuuut you know what it’s okay if you sin. Your okay, I’m okay and we’re all okay!” They said “REPENT for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” When a true Christian sins they will be convicted which will result in repentance. Repentance requires the acknowledgement of a sin and asking God for forgiveness. This is why that logic doesn’t work with the Jennifer Knapp scenario. She is unrepentant. I would say she feels no conviction but I’m pretty sure she does but chooses to bury it. When you have someone like this who says they have been placed here on the behalf of Jesus yet unrepentantly lives a life Jesus would not condone, you have a big problem.
Knapp can certainly sing a good game but judging her fruits she knows nothing about Yeshua. She is truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Hiding an eight year homosexual relationship from people who thought she loved the Lord. Of course coming out she would chance losing her fan base as she rightfully should. Speaking of which this whole scandal conveniently happened a month before the release of her new album. What a shock. Personally, I hope the Christian world boycotts her album to let her know that when given a choice between the word of God and her ideals, they choose God.
It was something I thought I’d never see on the History channel. A relatively unbiased documentary of graphic artists creating a 3D portrait of Jesus using the Shroud of Turin. For those of you who don’t know what the Shroud of Turin is, it’s a fabric with a body outline and face of a man embedded on it. It is believed to many to be the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in after he was crucified. The Shroud, of course, is very controversial. Many claim that it’s not authentic and it was created. However in this documentary you find that the Shroud has gone through thousands of tests and scientists still can’t figure out how the image got there. I myself am not sure if it’s the real McCoy but I do find it to be very interesting and puzzling. Graphic experts lead by Ray Downing spent 6 months to bring Jesus’ face to life. Is it accurate? Who knows? For me, the fact that anyone would even care to do it is an amazement. For those of you who missed the unveiling I have created a video for you.
Many of you whether you are secular or religious have heard of “The Mark of the Beast.” Many have speculated that the RFID microchip could be that mark. For a long time I wasn’t quite sure if I believed that or not. However with recent information I have little doubt that the chip is the mark.
In the video I’ve posted below we learned that the company that makes the RFID chip bought out STEEL VAULT. STEAL VAULT is a credit monitoring company. They combined the technology to create POSITIVE ID. So now the chip could link all your information including your credit scores and money.
In this video below is of Evangelist Perry Stone during a live conference talking about end time prophecies and the mark. With information he has received about the chip, if the Lithium battery would break and leak it would create a “grievous sore.” Since Perry himself deals a lot with word studies, I decided to look up the origin of the word Lithium in which I found something interesting. The Greek root word is Lithos which means “stone“. As many of us know in the Old Testament one of the primary punishments for breaking the law was stoning. I find it rather ironic that those who receive the mark will get a punishment of sores that would be caused buy a substance which is known by its root word as a “stone”. I think it would be interesting to say that those who are getting the mark, in a sense, are being stoned. I personally find that very interesting. So I highly recommend watching these videos and spreading the word. People are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.
