Back when he failed on the parable of the sower, you knew he was a heretic. Everyone took issue with how he refused to evangelize Jews, you knew he was apostatizing then in refusing to evangelize Jews. By now everybody knows, that he has set the bar for apostate heretics at a height (or perhaps I should say depth) rarely seen. John Hagee has fully denied the truth of the Messiah. When Hagee proclaimed his dual-covenant nonsense in defiance of Hebrews 8:13, it was obvious Hagee had made himself a false christ via creating a false covenant model of his own. Well in continuing to prove that he's really an agent for Satan, Hagee has written a book of heresy. Covina sent me a link to the best review you can read about the book a while back. (Read the book review, to see fully why I address Hagee as I do in this post.) The book is titled In Defense of Israel, but Hagee is trying to send all of Israel to damnation with himself. He hopes to leave the people Christ first proclaimed Himself to as Lord and Savior in condemnation. Don't believe me? Read John 3, notice that the ever quoted verse 16 is part of a statement Christ made to Nicodemus, A RULER OF THE JEWS. Christ made it clear they must believe on HIM or perish.
I never told you about night 5 of TBN's November 2007 Pimp-a-thon. Well on night 5 of that circus of heresy, they featured old footage of John Hagee. Keep in mind, they aired this footage of Hagee over a month after his apostate book was released. So obviously TBN wanted to show their heretic buddy, that they still liked
him paying them for air time having him around. Our brother Matt Green, who has a good new post about Hagee's apostate book, captured video of Hagee's TBN Pimp-a-thon performance. See it in the video below.
TBN Fleece-a-Thon Fall 2007 Night 5
TBN re-airs old footage of their apostate buddy John Hagee.
|1 John 2:18-19 (New American Standard Bible)
Bottom line, John Hagee was never actually saved, never actually converted, never actually baptized by the Holy Spirit and has no Spirit indwelling him. Some people might act like they are walking around with Jesus, but the Father never called them to His Son.
|John 6:62-66 (New American Standard Bible)
While many saints are thinking John Hagee turned, Jesus always knew Hagee was not honestly converted and not a believer of the full truth about Him. Not like the JEWISH disciples who remained with Christ and knew He was their only hope for salvation. (Minus of course the betrayer Judas, that Christ knew about.)
Nobody does themselves any good remaining under the teachings of John Hagee. For all Hagee has done, he still has time to repent. Perhaps someone near him will be bold enough to tell him the truth and perhaps God will remove the scales from his eyes. God converted an unbelieving persecutor of Christians named Saul, so anything is possible, but John Hagee is on course for Matthew 7:23.
update 12/19/2007: I've found Hagee's book promotion video.
John Hagee [speaking as antichrist claims] Jesus NOT Messiah(audio|video perfect)
|Acts 4:1-14 (New American Standard Bible)
John Hagee is an antichrist, read why in 1 John 2:17-24.
Good morning, I.C. Thanks for this information. When I first heard about this, I was so disappointed. It has gotten to where it seems that everyone on TV is being "outed" as "not being with us from the beginning" and I am so grateful to the Lord God that He ensures that we know truth from error. I heard someone make a statement that was so true, "We shouldn't get upset about these things because God is simply showing us who the false prophets are. The increasing number of them are a testament of His soon return. Rather than get depressed about the many who are turning out to be against Christ, rejoice in know that His return is nigh." I hold on to that. I myself have just stopped going to church. The Lord sent me to my Pastor a few times to show him some of the things that God is not pleased with and while he acknowledged some things, he never goes back to the Body to "undo" the damage. And I'm noticing that more and more he's trying to follow heretics like Bill Hybles and the WoFers, and bringing worldly stuff into the services. I haven't been to church since October 24th. I got tired of sermons out of books by ungodly men, movies full of eastern mysticism being shown during Sunday morning service to "help the people really get" a message, the worship team singing songs by ungodly so-called gospel singers, etc. I'm just spending time with the Lord and having daily fellowship with some of my sisters to keep up my encouragement in the Lord with telephone bible studies and conversations that talk about, praise, and proclaim the truth of God's Word until He steers me to another Church (if it be so). But right now, I'm so sick of what I see going on in "Churches" around America that I just need time to detox. I will make sure that everyone that I know who still watches Hagee gets this information. May the Lord richly bless you, your family, and your efforts to continue in sharing the very truths that will save someone from the Apostasy; at least those who truly desire the Truth: James 1:14-16 – But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions). Then the evil desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death. Do not be misled, my beloved brethren.
I myself have just stopped going to church.
Have you tried asking some folks like those over on Melvin's blog where he gets lots of comments, if they can refer you to a church standing on sound doctrine in your area? Don't give up searching. Just don't end up with John Hagee 😉 .
Thank you for the words of encouragement.
healtheland –
Do you mind offering a little commentary? Just posting links might lead some who don't otherwise know, to feel you posted the links in support of Huckabee.
Trayjay, I feel you. I'm at the same point in my christian walk. I haven't been to my church since 10/13/07…reading your post was like I wrote it myself. I am in continual prayer about a place to worship because I do believe we should not forsake the fellowshipping of ourselves together…but again, that can be with other saints that also desire the TRUTH! It's been a long journey but now that the "scales" have fallen off of my eyes after being in the WOF church for 10 years, I just can't stand to hear anymore of that nonsense. It's like I'm just now being born again because of the bad doctrine I "allowed" myself to be under for lack of "studying to show MYSELF APPROVED unto God and rightly divide the word. It was hard to admit (probably pride) that I was just a "pulpit word-fed-christian!" But because of 1Jn 2:27 and my true desire for truth, the Holy Spirit began to show me things almost 2 years ago that just didn't sit well in my spirit…long story short (I know you all on this blog feel me) the realization of what the Holy Spirit was showing me was the false doctrine and false teachers that are deceiving the body of Christ. I'm in the place of getting to know God and His Word for myself. I've lost prayer partners and fallen from grace in the church because I chose the "truth" over the "lie!" But I have no hardness of heart, I just pray that the truth would be revealed to the sheep still caught up in the "lie" as we know from scripture that this "apostasy" must come before Christ's return. I just thank Him everyday for allowing me to come into the truth. This blog encourages me as I know it was by divine intervention that I came across this and a "few" others as God confirmed what He's doing in my life. I pray that the false teachers will continue to be exposed and that our hearts remain true as we stand for truth while not forgetting that love is the greatest command and the driving force behind our stand for truth and "setting those still captive free." May continual blessing and peace be with you all and pray for me as I pray for you
that can be with other saints that also desire the TRUTH!
It SHOULD be with saints that desire the truth. Keep searching. We all had to upset some folks by letting them know we can't remain in fellowship with them if they desire to be under bad doctrine. But keep looking till you find an assembly of saints in your area standing on the truth.
We all must remain in prayer for one another and pray for others who are outside of truth as well.
This post has been updated with video of the antichrist speaking.
Not to be a Pollyanna, but if you look at it another way, with this great "falling away" going on right before your eyes (yes, the apostasy will be televised), you can rejoice because YOU KNOW your salvation is at hand.
What makes me so upset about this antichrist (Hagee) is that he is keeping the jews from coming to Christ as savior. In fact he has said ""In fact, trying to convert Jews is a 'waste of time,' he said. 'The Jewish person who has his roots in Judaism is not going to convert to Christianity. There is no form of Christian evangelism that has failed so miserably as evangelizing the Jewish people. They (already) have a faith structure.' Everyone else, whether Buddhist or Baha'i, needs to believe in Jesus, he says. But not Jews. Jews already have a covenant with God that has never been replaced by Christianity, he says." He accuses anyone who does not support Israel an antisemite. If anyone is an anti-semite, it's hagee because he is keeping the Jewish people from coming to Jesus as messiah.
In fact, trying to convert Jews is a 'waste of time,'
There is no form of Christian evangelism that has failed so miserably as evangelizing the Jewish people.
I guess this means Hagee does not read much of the New Testament scriptures. I mean if he's right, the apostles were all full of false teaching for spending so much time on the Jews. All the time Christ spent telling them to come to Him would be untrue. Luke 19:41-44 would be a total lie! You can't say Jesus is anything if you can't say He is the One True Messiah.
It's true Hagee obviously hates the Jews, but he loves attention, money…and food.
oct31st1517 – I'm going to need you to note the source of your quotes from Hagee. I always like to ensure all quotes are well sourced. Although I have no doubt he said it.
No problem my brother. Here is the link. http://www.pfo.org/jonhagee.htm
I mean if he's right, the apostles were all full of false teaching for spending so much time on the Jews
And very confused if many Jews were actually CONVERTED:
Acts 13:14-16 14From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down. 15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent word to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak." 16Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: "Men of Israel and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me!Acts 13:41-43 41" 'Look, you scoffers,
wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
that you would never believe,
even if someone told you.'[a]" 42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God."
Acts 14In Iconium 1At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Gentiles believed. 2But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders.
Acts 17In Thessalonica 1When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3explaining and proving that the Christ[a] had to suffer and rise from the dead. "This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,[b]" he said. And some of them were persuaded…….
Acts 18:4
Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.Acts 18:19
They arrived at Ephesus, where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Acts 19:7-9 8Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. 9But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
Sorry, IC…..but I couldn't resist. Has any of this ever been posted before Hagee
Since many of the pastors out here are teaching error and God knew from the beginning how things would be during our time, then does Hebrews 10:25 really necessitate that we have to go to an assembly, in the sense that the many do? Or do things like this online forum count as an assembly. Hagee is just one of a myriad of false prophets who will continue to multiply like poisonous mushrooms in a forest. I have also quit going to church because we have a gaggle of pastors in my area that are just like him. When trying to speak truth about these matters and staying out of these fake churches, I am all but damned to hell by establishment friends. Sorry IC, didn't mean to veer off topic, but the Hagee thing plus the responses I've seen sortof opened up a larger can-o-worms for me. Any enlightenment would be appreciated. Thanks
Not going to an organized church of some sort may be a problem, though…
2thehilt said:

No. You need to keep looking till you find an assembly of sound doctrine in your area, to do with other like minded saints as the Lord commands for your area and whatever you might do collectively for saints abroad. On top of that, the collective work of outreach ministry, to those who God will call to His Son. Along with general good. And in case anyone didn't notice, I'm no church elder 🙂 . I'm still wondering if there would be a means for me to avoid the "stricter judgment" of James 3:1, but about the only role I fulfill in the function of ministry would be that of a teacher. Some new sort of cyberspace based one, but a teacher of sorts.
Point well taken. Thanks for the info!
Revelations 3:9, somebody is blaspheming out there to say they are Jews. To whom is Jesus referring to? Anybody out there can say that they are a Jew but only God knows. To comment on Hagee and I was able to view the videos, amazing, but he states on TBN pimp-a-thon that if you let go what's in your hand, God would let go what's in His. Can a man bribe God? Not at all. Can a man rob God? Only if were living in the book of Malachi 3 but Hebrews 7 eliminated that. Hagee demonstrates that we should run as far away as possible from him and his doctrine. It has been over a year since I've fellowshipped myself. I once attended a COGIC church in the north. I turned to God TV yesterday morning and Benny Hinn and his ministry was on (its been a good while since I've watched tv ministries) and some man named Bishop Ulmer stated whomever is watching used to be faithful but stopped because they felt that they've made some bad choices and now they feel that God is angry with them. You would think the man was talking to me. However, it could be anyone watching that broadcast. IC, I remembered when you had a blog on Benny Hinn when you describe him as a broken clock being right once in a while. You have to be careful with those folks because after that, he talks about sowing a seed and I'm not falling for that. I have never dealt with tv ministries in that manner. To add, I take it to being faithful as to being a church goer. I do miss the saints up there as well as my old co-workers for they were like my second family.
Art123, I do hope you are able to find an assembly of saints in your area that is standing on sound doctrine. We are the family of God and you need people around you who follow Him in truth. Please keep searching.
I actually had someone say that there was no need for them to be plugged in to a fellowship where there were elders, deacons, and leaders. In their view, the Holy Spirit was all that they neeeded, here husband was her pastor (going off of the Scripture that the head of the woman is the man, and of the man Christ) many of the things they were needed for are obselete nowadays since we can read/have our own bibles and the people back then were illiterate and needed oversight (though I find that odd since we have a MYRIAD OF PEOPLE today with with their own Bibles and yet things have gotten WORSE, WHETHER IT BE DUE TO PEOPLE NOT READING THEIR BIBLE or COMING UP WITH THEIR OWN INTERPRETATIONS OF IT)
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Good morning, everyone! There are a couple of new churches here in my area that I intend to try out. But for now, I just need time to regroup. I am one of those people whose fire lights up when I hear any kind of teaching in Church related to the New Age, or mysticism, or with Eastern Philosophy, when that teaching incorporates, influences, or encourages these things in any way. An example is that my pastor did a teaching using a quote by C.G. Jung; a man who was clearly into Buddhism, Hinduism and New Age thought. I don't know how much he knows about New Age or the others, but to me it sets a clear picture that when preparing his sermons, there is no consultation with the Lord. My church doesn't get so much into the money thing, a little, but not too much. But the area that I have been called by God to expound truth about is the area of spiritual warfare (teaching people the truth about this stuff; like why Christians cannot do yoga, etc.), in accordance to Jeremiah 1:5-10, to root out and pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant. That being said, I realize that I must be in a Church setting in order to do that, although I have been and am doing that on more personal one-on-one levels. Right now, though, I just need time to allow the Lord to deal with me so that when He is ready to show me where I need to be, whether at my current church or somewhere else, I can do it with the boldness that He intended. There may be some in the church who God would set up divine appointments for us to converse with that may never hear the truth except from us, so I know there are many important reasons for going to Church. I appreciate the words of encouragement from I.C. and godlysoldier. I will be praying for you as well. I am absolutely determined to tell people the truth and I've dealt with rejection all my life so I could care less about being thrown out or called a heretic (been there). I've also been labeled a troublemaker and I wear the badge well. If telling someone that using the word Karma is a proclamation against the truth of God Word, so be it. (In case someone doesn't know, Karma is a Hindu term that basically says that how you live this current life is determined by what you did in a past life, and that your next reincarnated life is determined by what kind of life you are living now. But the Bible says it is appointed for man once to die, and then the judgment. Hebrews 9:27) Back to the subject at hand, people like Hagee are springing up not just on TBN, but even in our neighborhood churches and I know that God has set up people like us to "turn over the moneychangers tables." God bless.
No disrespect, but I am confused with comment #22.
Are you embracing Hinduism or Christianity? The scripture does say you cannot serve two masters.
She's embracing Christianity, art. She was saying that what burns her bunyons is when these snakes start quoting New-age drivel or trying to incorporate it with Christ (things like yoga, transcendental meditation, etc).
Ok, I re-read it and misunderstood. Apologies.
Nicely said, AndyB. No need to apologize, art. You are so forgiven.
I became certain that Hagee is one that "holds the truth in unrighteousness", when in one of his sermons he said, "Joseph sent the Egyptians out of the room so that he could show his brothers his circumcision", also in the same sermon he said that the Egyptians were gentiles. I wrote a him a letter and broke the whole scenario down through the scriptures, that Egyptians were Hamites and that Gentiles are from the lineage of Japheth. His people responded that, "you seem knowledgable, however our Ministry is growing in leaps and bounds and we do not have the time to research the issue" My translation: we are making money hand over fist, so we don't need to factual.
I think Hagee is a proponent of "replacement theology" because when he read the scripture below instead of Jews he read "say they are the church, and are not".
Revelations 3:9, somebody is blaspheming out there to say they are Jews.
My translation: we are making money hand over fist, so we don't need to factual.
And a very good translation that is! You should post the documents.
Hagee has been overtaken by these "revelations" of his own (or Satan's) creation. All delusion.
In response to comment #28, the Egyptians were gentiles so yes Hagee was right in that aspect. When you read Genesis 10, it gives you the genealogy of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. In Genesis 9 chapter, Noah cursed Ham for looking at his nakedness in his drunken sleep and told his brothers. Out of Shem, God blessed Abraham and his seed in Genesis 22:15-18. That's how the Jews became the chosen people. So many nations, even today including the Ethopians claim that they are the chosen Jews and that's why I commented in #19 that anybody can say that they are Jews, but only God knows the true lineage and seed. However, I do not believe it is the Ethopians because their Hamitic seed is cursed, according to Genesis.
Art123, I wonder why Hagee's bunch never looked into it to offer that response?
I know even with secular matters, I've once mentioned something to the History channel via a message I sent them, that I was incorrect on. In all their money making, they had time to send me a note to correct me and offer details to support them being correct.
Wow Trayjay, Jer 1 is what God showed me almost 10 years ago when I came back to church after being in a backslidden state for almost 10 years. I now understand why He put that word in my heart, because of what I'd be facing today (I have a heart for evangelism and my passion and ministry is street witnessing) But as I was growing and learning in the church, the boldness I had to preach "Jesus and Him crucified" without extra biblical babble just didn't sit well with my COGIC Pastor's . I would question things and then be corrected by the COGIC manual…NOT the "bible!" I have no personal vendetta against anyone or any COGIC church, but I had to really know in my heart that I was a child of God based on repentance and accepting Jesus as Lord and NOT what man thought of me or tried to confine me to according to some extra-biblical man-ual. Then the last church I was in, which was non-denomination was wonderful…at first, then gradually I began to see a shift, which became evident that if you didn't act like, walk like, talk like, preach like (basically "clone") the Pastor then you were "overlooked." I was in the Minister's Training program and was basically told that we'd catch a "Miriam Spirit" and the consequences if we didn't "imitate" the Mand of Gawd! My spirit literally came through my chest after that class. I truly understand and have respect for church leadership, but to be told that God will only speak to us through the Man & Woman of God and that they are our only revelation and vistion from God, then that's "heresy" at it's finest. The Holy Ghost in me just wouldn't let me go back to those classes. I was pretty hurt at the time because I "thought" I had finally found a sound ministry where I could "stir up the gift" that God placed in me and grow in further knowledge of the word. I still have a few friends that I speak with there, however, at this point, I have to go through "detox"right now from church as I knew it until the Lord leads me to a church that teaches the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…so help me God…I will find one! In the mean time, God is revealing His truth to me through His Holy Spirit and His word, as well as blogs like this and a few other people in my life that have recently had scales fall off their eyes. Psa 32:8 says "He will instruct us and teach us the way we should go…He will guide us with His eye" I love that verse…it shows how personal God wants to be in our lives and how He desires to lead us wherever we go. I didn't mean to go this long or get off the Hagee topic, but to see a few others in the place of being "in-between" church and seeking truth truly let's me know that broad is the road that leads to destruction and many are traveling on it, but narrow is the path that leads to righteouness, and few are finding it. I pray all our feet remain on the narrow path! Have a blessed evening all!
godlysoldier and all:
I can identify with you for I went to a COGIC church. Though I haven't fellowship since 2006, I can recall hearing sayings from the pastor to don't speak out against the man of god or you would be cursed or don't speak out against your fellow saints or God will give you a incurable disease. Another one, you must follow the vision of your pastor whom the Holy Ghost is speaking through and if you don't follow it, damnation can come to you. I recall one day he spoke of a man whom once attended the church whom got into it with the pastor and he told him that damnation should come to him and listen to him. Well, according to their story, the man was found dead outside on the road and the police found the address to the church in his pocket and notified them that he was dead. They gave funeral services for this man but claimed that he could be burning in hell right now. Also, there's your slain in the spirit and speaking in tongues to be saved and go to the next level of spirituality. Although I truly missed the saints that I used to fellowship with, I had doubts about certain things before I left. When we had Tuesday night classes and Sunday school, I remembered that the teachers didn't like for my hand to go up for questions and comments about the bible, and I would get shunned at times. I believe that it kinda got worse when I stepped to him after service and told him that the scripture said that Jesus didn't die for everybody, only the elect of Israel. However, he did mention during service, especially when we were at the altar that God wants to use me but I don't know how, considering He would'nt want to use me as a woman preacher, for the scripture made that clear. If we are all one body like the bible said and if someone has something to share in order to edify, isn't that alright. Most of the teachers there were women and it didn't dawn on me at the time that they're not allowed to do so. Correct me if I'm wrong but God still works miracles even though the five fold ministries ended with the apostles. May we continue in our journey to Christ.
IC, in response to your comment in #31, it is obvious that these folks are running a business. I was also reading at pulpit pimps website about a worshipper who was paying tithes faithfully until the person lost their job and had to collect unemployment. The person reached out to this mega church for help, but they refused because they told the person you need to catch up in your tithes. It is a shame that a secular institution has to take the slack for the church who is up to no good. I wonder what Paul meant when he said that he robbed churches to do them services. They were possibly pulling that same crap as they do today.
When Paul said he "robbed churches" in 2 Corinthians 11:8, he was simply saying that he had actually accepted donations from the saints in Macedonia. Really if you read from 2 Corinthians 7 up through 11 you get the full picture about that. He called it "robbing" because it was unusual for him to accept anything. He typically asked for nothing and cared for himself and those with him by work of his own hands, Acts 20:34. But when he reached Macedonia he and those with him were in terrible shape. So he broke his usual protocol. But in 2 Cor. 11 you see that while he accepted from the Macedonians, he did not take from others. Since the Macedonians met his needs and were taking care of him he went to others for free, intentionally to cut off those who were false. Really Paul was not saying pastors should not accept pay, he said they should live off donations from the saints in 1 Cor. 9. He himself tried not to accept pay. He and other apostles lived in conditions that they did not recommend others had to endure, while they said others should imitate them (1 Corinthians 4), strive towards their high mark. So a pastor has a balancing act. He is at full liberty to make a living off preaching the gospel, but he has to do it in a manner that prevents him from being a burden on the church. Also the pastor has to avoid greed, which is the issue too many who claim church leadership have today. As we see, with the greedy, it becomes more than just an issue of greed, their doctrine ends up in the toilet too. The saints should be more than willing to care for a good elder, 1 Timothy 5:17.
IC, have you already seen this webpage? http://www.flashfloods.com/blast/0705v5PrafRE/dec057.html
Apparently Hagee is going to rewrite chapter one of his latest book due to a scholarly rebuttal sent to him by an unnamed evangelical with whom he has also dialogued. It will be interesting to see if and how he follows through on this agreement.
Of course, his "non-targeting of Jews" for conversion remains one of the most disturbing issues I have ever heard of about a nationally-recognized minister.
Thank you for the update Stan.
I've seen John Hagee in Galatians 1:8-9 terms since first hearing of his "dual covenant" nonsense and I highly suspect, that while he might adjust the book he'll continue to promote heresy that is not the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Basically, if that changed book does not say:
Jesus is Messiah and only those who believe on Him will not perish, no matter if they are Jew or Gentile.
Than he's still deserving of the title given to him in this post. I'll hold to that until he can speak the truth of Hebrews 8:13.
It's hard to understand why someone would go out of their way to make such statements about Jesus' Messiahship. After all, If Jesus had not been sent to Israel to be the Messiah, then the apostles Peter and Paul got it exactly backward by presenting Him thus to the Jews in Jerusalem and Judea and in the synagogues of Asia Minor and Greece. Therefore, Hagee has set Scripture against itself in a major way.
It's hard to understand why someone would go out of their way to make such statements about Jesus' Messiahship.
It's not hard to figure it. It's because of a desire for honor among men and money. Hagee would rather be with the folks in Israel with the money and prestige, who have no desire to spread the Gospel message. Never mind that small faction of Messianic Jews, who know Jesus is the Messiah and need help spreading the message in Israel.
Yea, if Peter and Paul were around, guess who Hagee would be hanging out with! (Not Peter and Paul.)
Stan, I'm calling John Hagee's claims to revise the book bogus. It has been almost a year since the book's initial release and no revised edition has been released. Unless you know something I don't?
I agree with you, IC. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt for a reasonable time (which has been up for a while). With these celebrity ministers, only seeing is believing.
I wonder if the ministry that reported it has given up. I'll see if I can find that bookmark.
I think you linked it in a comment above.
You're right. I forgot. I found it in #36. I just emailed them to ask if they've heard anything about his promise. Also, (and really) to alert them to their misplaced optimism concerning the fact that nothing of what he agreed to has been forthcoming.
I received this email today from the ministry in the link in reply #36.
I share it here:
From what I've heard, Hagee has 'promised' to rewrite the book. But no one knows when or if that will happen. That's all I know at this point. I have not followed the issue or Hagee closely since the news broke awhile ago.
He did rewrite the chapter in question several months ago when the controversy broke. The unanimous concensus among scholarly and reputable evangelicals was that his revision was unacceptable. So he promised to rewrite the book. We'll have to wait and see.
In the meantime, Hagee continues to act as spokesman and Director of 'Christians United for Israel'. In my opinion, that is a travesty. I cannot legitimize his ministry re. Israel until he comes totally clean on this whole matter. The Body of Christ suffers as a result through confusion, false doctrine and mixed messages.

Looks like Don Geraci can see through Hagee's smoke.
But what is a "rewritten" chapter if all you do is pass it around to people who approve and don't put in a new revision of the book that is still being sold?
Never has Hagee pulled his book of heresy, which proves he has no urgency to do so and really beleives what is in the initial release.
My guess is that Hagee passed the rewritten chapter around first to the scholars for a peer-review, and it did not get the endorsement he hoped for from them. So, as you suggest, he's refusing to abandon his initial premise of the book which caused the backlash he's still getting.
Abandoning the premise means that the controversy he wishes to create will vanish and therefore he believes that will translate into lower sales for the book. It's all about "peddling the Word of God;" something Paul refused to do – and something every conscientious believer should also refuse to do.

Should a juror vote to acquit a criminal defendant on the grounds that the law behind the charges is unjust? Is such a practice of jury nullification legal, whether or not it is moral?
Jury nullification is a live issue in Colorado because of ongoing legal disputes between activists who hand out jury-nullifcation literature outside Denver's Lindsey-Flanigan Courthouse and Denver officials who wish to restrict such activity. Continue reading "The Question of Jury Nullification"

Tribal Pride, a Facebook game from Lutopia, launched May 16 with help from the new crowdfunding craze. The game company raised $1,300 from seven IndieGoGo users. To find out what these users bought, we recently joined the 110 active gamers using this ancient history, social-networking based time-waster. Sadly, what we found was a game that's still clearly in the preliminary stages of development.
A game based on history and building ancient civilizations based on cultures around the world, Tribal Pride works on the same Facebook canvas as titles like Mob Wars and Sorority Life where the user must complete a certain sets of tasks, wait for their energy sources to replenish, and then repeat the process with tasks that need ever-higher amounts of energy. This game runs on Motivation points, and every player starts off with a maximum of 10.
When we began the game, we were prompted to choose a culture such as the Maya of ancient Mexico or the Ivrim, who are better known as the Hebrews, to develop from the 13 listed here. The artwork for each culture served as the background once we started. Lutopia commissioned artists from DeviantArt to illustrate the game, and the paintings are stunning and varied. The screenshot at right shows the Zhongua culture of ancient China by Shinjyu at Deviantart.
Though many of the basic elements, such as tasks and reward systems, which give the user virtual goods for achievements, are present, the application is not as sleek or well-organized as any of the most popular Facebook games. The papyrus font is easy to read, but not smooth or aesthetically pleasing, and the interface is clunky. In order to access different functions such as Tasks or Tablets, we had to hit a link instead of a button, each with a distracting animated symbol next to it.
As you complete "exploration tasks," you are rewarded with decipherable tablets to help you get resources such as wood, land, and access to rivers and secure locations. These resources don't serve a function yet. An "Expedition" tablet is supposed to unlock an event, but events have not yet been implemented.
In order to unlock access to other features, players need to gain levels in "Culture," which they can do by gaining a certain amount of "History." Players must complete tasks, decipher and use tablets to gain history. At each level of culture, we were asked whether or not we wanted to announce the achievement to friends, and then had to choose certain attributes to increase. Motivation, Force, Spirit, Attack and Defense, most of them with undefined functions for now, could all be increased.
Will Power is a currency for paying users to enhance their game experience, which we did not try because most people who play Facebook games do not plan to pay to play, and for those who do, Tribal Pride does not reach that level of addictive entertainment. For now, inviting friends gives no tangible benefits besides a little more speed in completing tasks, but like almost all other games on Facebook, we expect to see that take a larger role eventually.
Tribal Pride's concept is solid, bringing to mind Sid Meier's Civilization series without the depth, micro-managing or dedication required to complete the game. The art is nice, but the game developers are emphasizing an educational slant, which we didn't see in play. The difference between cultures only extends as far as custom tablets for each, but a clearer distinction, special advantages and disadvantages would make the game more appealing.
The interface needs to be refined (Lutopia's Facebook page had pictures that showed some samples of a UI that seemed much more organized), the clutter cut out and the events system implemented, but Tribal Pride is on its way to becoming a Facebook game with some real potential.

Chilorio: We ALL loved it! It was tender, flavorful, citrusy and amazing! It just disappeared off their plates! Sorry for the jump right in start. I'm excited to share with you how this week's "magic" recipe has fared in our house.
Let's start with our most difficult "foodie": Ms J: I had a bit of PR to do with Ms. J.. I told her "Mommy picked this recipe just for you.. Its Pork, which you love... Orange Juice, which you love... and tortillas, which you love... Your going to love it..." This pitch is not new to Ms J, she's heard it many times before. She looks at me sideways akin to the "whatch you talkin' 'bout Willis?" look and says.. "well, i guess i'll give it a try.." I made a small burrito for both girls, just tortilla, chilorio and a bit of sour cream. And... They ATE IT! I paid little attention to them while they ate (or so they thought).. I just went about my business.. Spring in my step.. =)
Verdict: Ms J: Thumbs Flat. (for those new to the blog, the kids terminology is below)
The Rest of Us: Thumbs UP!
Cost: Inexpensive.. the 3 lb boneless pork shoulder was $7.50 at my local Ralphs. OJ: I keep in the house anyways. Tortillas: Leftover from last week. Sour Cream: Staple item in my frig!
So far, I've used the chilorio in burritos and on nachos. Thinking about tortas tonight. Then my chilorio will be done for the week. Boo...
Dessert: After dinner, Ms J announced that she'd like me to pick up some carrots for her. While I resisted the urge to check her for a fever, I tentatively asked "why?." She recounted that she learned at school that to much dessert is bad for you and that veggies are good for you, so she'd rather have second helping of carrots instead of dessert a few nights a week. I quickly checked her for fever (see J's terminology below) and said "ok, but what if you eat a little more carrots with dinner, then just a little dessert? Ice Cream is made from milk.." Smart kid she is, she knew where I was heading.. She smiled sly and said "Milk is good for you too..." I said "Yup". I got a huge smile and hug.. "Mom your the best!" I'll share a secret with you.. My kids are the best..
So Next Week" I'm thinking Italian! Maybe beef brisket as base protein.. I'm already imagining the possibilities! Any ideas?
Talk to you soon.
K.I.S.S. Keep in Simple & Success!
Lil'Chef A's eating terminology:
Thumbs Down: Any form of fish and if it tastes really and I mean really bad!
Thumbs Up: "Yumm" while shaking her head in agreement and says "Its good"!
Thumbs Flat: doesn't seem to exist
Ms J's eating terminology:
Thumbs Down: First (and usually) there is a face like she smelled something horrid, nose crinkled.. eyes looking like they are going to start watering.. and she grunts the equivalent of "no way" and looks for the closest way to spit it out!
Thumbs Up: Saved for all things fried, fattening, chocolate based and not a vegetable in sight or smell.
Thumbs Flat: This is somewhere in between the nose crinkle and smiling. The face is almost always accompanied by the phrase "It's kinda good". This means, I don't hate it, I don't love it and don't expect me to eat this without some serious bargaining.

As a man who takes pride in the fact that I can grow a decent looking beard I have been trying to find a trimmer that will help keep it looking sharp, without being difficult to use. So when the opportunity arose to review Philips Christmas Gift ideas alongside Alice, it was one that I was definitely interested in.
I chose the Philips OneBlade* beard trimmer while Alice chose the Philips Satinelle Epilator. I currently use the Philips Beard and Stubble 4 in 1 3000 series to keep my face looking fresh and not allowing it to overgrow into a patchy mess. (I unfortunately can't pull of Opie's Sons Of Anarchy beard) While I like this trimmer for a general shave, when it comes to precision and getting rid of the awkward stray hairs, I find it doesn't excel too well. This is where the OneBlade comes into play.
The OneBlade is designed to cut the hair on your face and not the skin. Using a revolutionary design the OneBlade is able to cut in any direction, meaning that going against the grain isn't a problem. The blade head itself moves 200 times a second and each blade will last for four months. The OneBlade can be used as both a wet or dry shaver and comes in grades 1, 3 and 5, allowing you to cut, trim or completely shave your beard how you see fit.
Using a Li-ION battery that lasts for 60 minutes from a four hour charge, I was really impressed with the Philips OneBlade, despite the fact I messed up my beard and turned it into a goatee as the cut was better than I expected on my first use. I have definitely found my trimmer of choice.
What's your go to beard trimmer?

Mayor Joanne Monaghan began the regular meeting of Kitimat Council for Monday, May 6th with her traditional good news.
The good news is Spring is here and the weather feels like summer, said Monaghan. She thanked everyone for tuning into the meeting. Our good news for today is Council has been very active in many events. I know some of you think we dont do many meetings a month and thats all we do. This Council is very, very active, said Monaghan.
She started with a Chili Contest at the Seniors Centre. She thanked Councillor Mary Murphy and her husband for the winning Chili and the Council was presented with T-Shirts as a prize. The proceeds of the contest went to the Relay for Life.
Retiring from the District of Kitimat was Jo Young, a long-time employee who has left Kitimat for Fort McMurry where her family is now. Congratulations go out to her.
The Health and Safety Fair was a huge success at Riverlodge and Id like to thank all of those who organized this event, said Monaghan. The PTI Meeting at Mount Elizabeth Theatre brought in 125 people and Ive heard some good reviews on that.
She told how Kitimat was promoted as a port at Minerals North by Council, CAO and Economic Development Officer.
Monaghan spoke at the day of Mourning for the workers who have lost their lives in industrial accidents and diseases. She also spoke at the Sikh Celebration on Sunday. She expressed the Sikh Society were great supporters of Kitimat.
NCGLA in Quesnel was attended by our CAO and Acting Mayor Rob Goffinet. He brought back with him a 60th anniversary plaque for Kitimat, said Monaghan. Council had a resolution which we took down to NCGLA and it was on the Meningitis and the resolution was that NCGLA urge the Provincial Ministry of Health to implement a Province Wide MCD4 Immunisation Program in all secondary schools by April 24, 2014 for World Meningitis Day.
It passed with one person opposed.
Monaghan expressed there have been quite a few questions concerning the engineers which have been working near the Haisla Bridge. She said they are surveying Radley Park, not Haisla Bridge.
There are many things that are peculating under the surface and they will be worth waiting for, but they wont be announced until after the election, said Monaghan. We will be waiting with baited breath so get out and vote May 14th and that is our good news for the day.

Spanish Jan LNG imports down YoY
Spain's imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) dropped 4.8 percent year-on-year due to a month-long outage at the Skikda export facility in Algeria.
LNG imports reached 14.4 terawatt hours (TWh) in January, as compared to 15.1 TWh in the corresponding month a year ago, according to the data provided by the Spanish LNG terminal operator, Enagás.
The majority of imports came from Nigeria, Peru, the United States and Qatar, followed by smaller volumes from Trinidad, Norway, Algeria and The Netherlands.
LNG Imports from Algeria dropped 89 percent year-on-year due to the mentioned outage. However, pipeline imports from Algeria rose 6.7 percent to 16.8 TWh, the report showed.
Spain's total natural gas imports reached 35.9 TWh, showing a slight increase of 1.5 percent from 35.3 TWh in December 2015.
The cold snap that hit most of Europe did not avoid Spain as average temperature recorded during January has been 3.1ºC below that recorded during the same month in 2015.
Enagás' Huelva regasification plant received five out of the total 17 LNG cargoes imported into Spain during the month under review.
The report shows that the Sagunto LNG import terminal received four cargoes while three landed each in Barcelona and Bilbao import terminals. The Cartagena and the Mugardos LNG terminal received one cargo each.
Spain, the world's largest re-exporter of LNG, did not ship any cargoes of previously imported LNG during the month of January, Enagás said in the report.

One time in Japan, I found some edamame puppets and tchotchkas and brought them home for my wife. They had a video and all, and some of the edamame were half-peeled or peeling themselves. This is a strange subcurrent in Japanese culture, I think. This video takes it a little far.

earlier today i was outside planting some daffodil bulbs and was struck by how so much of this healing work is related to gardening. as i was digging the holes, putting some bulb food into the hole, placing the bulb, only to cover it all up again and then water the soil, i thought about the healing process. how we dig and dig, plant a seed, and then it seems we just wait. i personally know how frustrating that can be because we just want to feel better. we want the relief now. sometimes even yesterday.
perhaps what's interesting is that if anyone were to look where i just planted it doesn't look any different than before i planted. at least not on the surface. what's important, though, is that i can remember what's now in the earth that was never there until i put it there. the work, now, is to water the soil and then protect it as it gets colder and colder. i protect those little bulbs by putting leaves over where they're buried. i'll leave the snow there to insulate as well. and then the long, hard waiting of winter. while it looks like nothing is happening, new life is incubating so it has the strength to push through when spring comes. there's a process without it looking like much of a process.
now, i'm not encouraging to just sit back and do nothing. no, that's not it. what I am saying is that sometimes, most times, we have to trust that the seeds have been planted and live inside us. when we go through years and years of believing false beliefs and acting from a place of fear and the need to protect/control, it's going to take time and patience for those processes to be replaced with love. just like with the bulbs sometimes we have to wait, we have to trust that new life will come in the springtime (which can happen any time of year when it's our internal world growing). we have to nourish and care for the bulbs, seeds, potential life inside us. we have to trust and allow the process to work on us after we've done the hard work of digging and planting new life (replacing false beliefs, challenging fear, etc.).
it's an ongoing and nonlinear process; there will be periods of deep digging as well as periods of sitting and trusting, seemingly waiting for what feels like forever. but then, it happens. when there's enough time, patience, space, and love, those little green shoots poke out of the ground and reach for the sun. and so, too, will you grow. you already are. keep trusting. keep nourishing. keep incubating. keep growing.

This episode is near and dear to Emma's heart. Growing up in Basel she learned to speak English, German, Swiss German - Basel Deutsch to be exact - and a little Japanese. Yeah, we know. Emma is the type of person who likes learning new languages and is good at it. As for Suzi and Don, they grew up sheltered in Australia and the U.S., respectively, and learned only English. Listen as Emma describes her love of grammar and dive into the post 30-year-old minds of Don and Suzi's to witness their struggles to learn a second language. Spoiler alert: It ain't pretty.

Buffet etiquette finds its place toward the casual end of the dining etiquette spectrum. When you're mindful of the situation and show consideration to others, it's difficult to do it wrong.
However, as with any social situation, knowing what to do makes it easier to feel comfortable and to extend that feeling of comfort to other people, too.
Most buffets do not feature gourmet foods and many times cloth napkins won't be found. But still, good table manners are called for.
Smorgasbord? Serve yourself affair? Salad bar? All you can eat? Each of these fall into the category for which buffet etiquette applies.
Eating at buffet restaurants or attending buffet events can be fun and adventurous when there are many new foods to try. Now you know what to do, and what to avoid, to stay in line with buffet etiquette.
Bon appetit!

Savoy Sharm El Sheikh
About the Hotel
Why We Love This Hotel
- This property has won Egypt's Leading Resort at the World Travel Awards for the last five years in a row
- On the White Knight Beach, plus there are five pools, a spa, tennis & squash courts, & a kid's club on site
- Part of the complex is SOHO Square with an ice rink, ten-pin bowling alley, shops and restaurants
- All rooms have a balcony or terrace
Named Egypt's leading resort at the World Travel Awards for the last five years running, the Savoy Sharm El Sheikh has a lot on offer to keep the whole family entertained. There are five pools, tennis and squash courts, and a kid's club on site, plus there's direct access to the beach and SOHO Square.
You'll find an ice rink, nightclub, ten-pin bowling alley, shops and restaurants to explore at SOHO Square. Many guests stay on an all-inclusive basis (which you can upgrade to on arrival), which includes options to dine at one of the 10 restaurants there, or drink at one of the 13 bars. Back at the hotel, breakfast is served at the main buffet restaurant Tirana. It's a lavish affair with eggs cooked to order, falafel, waffles, pancakes, cold meat, bread, yoghurt, fruit and more. A buffet dinner is also served here, or you can choose from the à la carte at one of the six on-site restaurants including Rosmarino Italian, Eest Restaurant, Caligula Hot Rock Restaurant, or the Seafood Island Restaurant (which is right by the sea and has Tiran Island views).
The five swimming pools (three for adults and two for children) are open until early evening, as is the neighbouring pool bar. If exploring outside the pool, snorkelers and scuba divers can set off from the hotel jetty or beach to see the nearby coral reef. Later on, the spa has a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and a wide range of treatments available – including one for sunburn if the Egyptian sun takes its toll.
The bedrooms are modern and all have balconies or terraces with views of the Red Sea, pools or gardens.
Tea- and coffee-making facilities and air conditioning come as standard and non-smoking rooms are available on request. It's a large resort (more like a small town really) and some rooms are far from reception -- do ask for one nearer if this is a concern.

Just wanted to let you know that it's been us at The District Church who've been working with the city to organize the Christmas tree (and lighting) at the Columbia Heights Plaza. We just started a church in the neighborhood a couple months ago, and thought it'd be a perfect location to bring folks together for some good ol' Christmas/holiday cheer!
As mentioned, the tree will be on the Civic Plaza, at 14th/Park/Kenyon. Personally I think it's a neat idea, but you could make an argument that this is a religious emblem, which I think some folks on PoP said -- your thoughts?The reason you haven't seen much publicity anywhere is that we've been working to make sure that it was lined up first--the plan is to distribute fliers and postcards around the area this weekend.

My UIC friends, specifically Ms. Sacha Fierce, threw me a surprise birthday party this evening. It was so successful that I walked in, everyone said surprise, and I turned around to see whose birthday we were celebrating. It took a solid ten seconds and Sacha pointing at me for me to clue in, "Oh hey! Me?"
They hid it from me for two weeks. And the day of, I changed plans not once, but three times, and somehow twelve people managed to wrangle me into the bar with the silly hats and the cupcakes only an hour ahead of schedule, and I WAS SO SURPRISED OMFGKITTENSWIN!!1!
It is all about the people. I am speechless, wide-eyed and glowing.

Solo Antarctic Explorer Dies Just Short of Goal
Even before the 55-year-old former army officer made the agonizing call, his journey was full of harrowing moments. Continue reading →
British explorer Henry Worsley set out in November to become the first person to traverse Antarctica solo.
After 913 miles and suffering from a stomach infection, he was airlifted to a hospital in Chile on Friday, where he died over the weekend.
Top 10 Survival Tips Every Hiker Should Know
Worsley had been skiing, hauling a sled, unaided. Even before the 55-year-old former army officer made the agonizing decision to call for help only 30 miles from the finish, his journey was full of harrowing moments.
The idea was to follow in the footsteps of famous polar explorer Ernest Shackleton. He skied in whiteout conditions. He got stuck in his tent for several days during a blizzard that killed a penguin colony. His freeze-dried food supply started getting low. He changed his underwear once in 70 days. More recently he lost a front tooth biting into a frozen energy bar.
Unaided meant literally no aid, but he did have to do a daily check-in to make sure he was safe. Two missed calls would prompt a rescue.
"The daily phone call is a slight pain in the ass, but you can cut it down to almost a minute," he told National Geographic before his trip. "And then just have the rest of time without the hand of man being anywhere - that's really what I'm after." Worsley did listen to music, though, including David Bowie.
7 Extreme Female Explorers: Photos
Last week he suffered from exhaustion and dehydration that caused him to be trapped in his tent. At a clinic in Punta Arenas, Chile, the medical staff found he had a deadly infection of the stomach lining. Complete organ failure followed.
Worsley used the expedition to raise money for the Endeavour Fund, a British charity to help wounded officers. He leaves behind his wife, Joanna and two children Alicia and Max. Follow the latest updates and add your thoughts with #Antarctic and #HenryWorsley on Twitter.
Shackleton's Antarctic Trip To Be Recreated
This isn't the post I had planned to write. Having followed his progress since November, I was sure he would make it. The man was so brave, so persistent, and doing everything unaided, alone. Look how far he'd gone, too. Reading the news this morning that he had died was heartbreaking.
You're not alone now, Henry. You're definitely not alone.
Antarctic Heritage Trust conservators recently made a stunning discovery: a box of 22 exposed but unprocessed negatives, frozen in a block of ice for nearly one hundred years. The negatives were recovered from a corner of a supply hut that British explorer Robert Falcon Scott established to support his doomed expedition to the South Pole from 1910-1913. Scott and his men reached the South Pole but died on the trip home. The hut was next used by the Ross Sea Party of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1917 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition after they were stranded on Ross Island when their ship, the Aurora, blew out to sea. This party is believed to have left behind the undeveloped negatives. The cellulose nitrate negatives are seen here as they were found -- frozen in ice.
The Antarctic Heritage Trust tapped conservator Mark Strange to painstakingly separate, clean (including removing mold) and consolidate the 22 layers of film.
This recovered image shows Alexander Stevens, the chief scientist and geologist of the Ross Sea Party, on the deck of the Aurora in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.
A view of Tent Island in McMurdo Sound. There is mold damage evident around the edges of the image.
This damaged photo shows Big Razorback Island in McMurdo Sound.
Alexander Stevens again poses on board the deck of the Aurora. It was not until January 1917 that the Aurora returned to rescue the Ross Sea Party. By then three men had died, including Arnold Patrick Spencer-Smith, the team's photographer. To see more images from the recovered negatives, visit the

Canada's archives misses chance to buy rare maps, manuscripts at bargain prices
A man reads newspapers inside the Library of Parliament in Ottawa on Tuesday, September 28, 2010. (Pawel Dwulit / THE CANADIAN PRESS)
OTTAWA -- Canada's cash-strapped national archives may have missed a chance to buy rare maps and manuscripts at bargain prices because years of austerity have severed its special connections with auction houses and private sellers.
That's the lesson being drawn by senior staff at Library and Archives Canada after the agency paid about three times the pre-sales estimate as winning bidder at a spring auction for the Sherbrooke collection.
The rich bounty of Canadian maps and manuscripts from the early 1800s cost the agency about $720,000, including taxes and shipping. Bonhams, the house that conducted the auction in London on June 19, had estimated the value somewhere between $160,000 and $230,000, plus a buyer's premium.
Internal documents show that Library and Archives Canada only became aware of the pending auction in May, when Bonhams announced the Sherbrooke collection would headline a larger sale of historical maps, books and manuscripts.
Given only weeks to get organized, the agency went into overdrive, soliciting funds from the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Canadian Heritage and others to put together a war chest for the London auction. The fact the collection highlighted the War of 1812, a favoured theme for the Harper government, appears to have loosened purse strings.
Library and Archives' own experts quickly determined Bonhams' valuation was far too low. Drawing on information from previous sales of similar material, archives staff estimated a value of between $776,000 and $873,000.
"Please tell me that we are thinking about asking to have the material withdrawn from auction so that we can negotiate directly with Bonhams/the family?" said one agency official, so as to acquire the collection at "a more controlled price."
And so the agency made a pre-emptive move: a week before the auction, it wrote to Bonhams offering to buy the Sherbrooke collection privately, for $80,000 to $160,000 more than the highest pre-sale estimate, plus buyer's premium.
"Should the owner's counter offer exceed this amount, we remain willing to discuss," wrote Chantal Marin-Comeau, director general of evaluations and acquisitions, signalling to the owner and Bonhams the unrecognized value of the collection.
The anonymous owner declined Canada's offer -- not unusual in the circumstances of a publicly announced auction, said a Bonhams spokesman.
"It is relatively unusual to receive a pre-sale offer, but when we do receive one we discuss it with the seller involved," said Matthew Haley, U.K. head of books and manuscripts.
"Almost invariably sellers decide to continue with the auction as planned because that way -- especially with unique items -- they can feel most confident of achieving a fair market price."
In the end, the archives bested all other bidders, walking away with some 80 hand-drawn and printed maps, 37 letterbooks, artifacts, correspondence and a portrait of Sir John Coape Sherbrooke, former lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia and Governor General of British North America. They had been held by several generations of Sherbrooke descendants. Many of the hand-drawn maps of early Canada were unknown to scholars.
But even before the gavel cracked, senior officials acknowledged that the agency's chronic lack of funds for acquisitions over several years had also eroded the ability to network with auction houses and owners of private collections.
"We have needed to rush work and to act in a frantic and reactive way," archivist Shane McCord said in a June 13 email summarizing some lessons learned. "In previous years, experts in various areas ... closely followed auction houses and the wider market for information resources."
The agency should consider rebuilding connections to "avoid the somewhat rushed circumstances we have faced in recent days.
"And in particular we will be aware of auctions as soon as possible -- once we have rebuilt our connections with auction houses this may mean that we will be aware of sales before they are announced to the public."
Documents related to the purchase of the Sherbrooke collection were obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
Some of Library and Archives' most spectacular acquisitions have avoided auctions by appealing directly to sellers. The agency in 2008 paid $4.5 million for the late Peter Winkworth collection of early Canadian art, for example, by negotiating directly with his family.
The agency also privately purchased the Lord Elgin Papers in 2007 after auction house Sotheby's estimated the market value for the 1,500 items at $795,000.
