Top Ten Anti-Christian Acts of 2015

10) Obama makes a swipe at Christianity at National Prayer Breakfast In an effort to justify and minimize recent Islamic terrorism, President Obama tries to assert moral equivalency with Christianity by appealing to the Crusades.

9) Kelvin Cochran, the chief of Atlanta’s Fire Rescue Department, was sacked by Mayor Kasim Reed for giving Christian co-workers a religious book he wrote. Parts of the book contained passages condemning homosexuality. Cochran is suing the City of Atlanta for religious discrimination.

8) Christian Bakery Pays $135,000 for “Emotional Suffering” to Lesbian Couple Aaron and Melissa Klein, the Christian owners of a bakery in Oregon, “Sweet Cakes by Melissa,” was ordered to pay $135,000 in state-ordered damages for refusing to bake a wedding cake. The state swooped in and seized their accounts.

7) Christian Institutions Sued for not Hiring Homosexuals A Roman Catholic school in Massachusetts has been ordered by a Superior Court judge to hire homosexuals for non-teaching positions. Matthew Barrett was hired as the food service director at Fontbonne Academy which is sponsored by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston. While filling out employment forms, Barrett listed a “husband” as his emergency contact. Because Barrett’s living in an open homosexual relationship violated the values held by the school, he was told he could not work there. Barrett sued the school, and Superior Court Justice Douglas Wilkins agreed he had been illegally discriminated against. Wilkins’ ruling stated that since Barrett’s job was a “non-teaching” position, the school’s religious values did not matter.

6) Christian Military Chaplains Bullied A military chaplain recruiter, Douglas Lee of Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, recently told The Washington Times that growing hostility within the military to religious freedoms has made it harder to find chaplains willing to serve our brave servicemen, leaving them without the necessary and important spiritual guidance they need and deserve.

5) NYC Pastors threatened with $250K fine for “misgendering” transsexuals One of the fallouts of the whole abominable Bruce Jenner becomes “Caitlyn” gender bender sideshow is a draconian new law in NYC. If you call a transsexual person “he” or “she” when they preferred to be called “zhe” you could be fined $250,000 according to a newly updated anti-discrimination law in New York City. Pastors are not exempted, so they must either must shut up about biblical, hetero-normal sexual ethics or pay up.

4) Charleston and Oregon Mass Murders of Christians On June 17th in Charleston, SC a dissolute racist went into an historic Emmanuel AME Church and shot nine black Christians dead, including the pastor, Clementa C. Pinckney, in hopes of escalating a race war. On October 1st, another crazed gunman killed nine people and wounded up to nine others at quiet, Umpqua Community College in rural Oregon. The depraved shooter entered the classroom, murdered the teacher then asked the class about their religion. If they said they were Christians they were shot in the head.

3) Lawsuits against Pro-lifers for exposing Planned Parenthood The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released a powerful series of videos from an undercover investigation that proved Planned Parenthood was illegally profiteering from the sale of baby body parts and cadavers. The videos shook the nation and have precipitated numerous Federal and state investigations. Renewed calls to defund Planned Parenthood are shaping the Presidential primary debates. Now David Daleiden of CMP and Troy Newman of Operation Rescue, who served on the CMP Board, are being sued under racketeering statutes and could face huge civil judgments and possible criminal prosecutions. Imagine if they had exposed illegal activity of a Christian organization, do you think any judge would require this go to trial?

2) Islamic Terrorists attack Christmas Party in California On December 2nd two Jihadi terrorists, a man who worked for the city and his wife, conducted a terrorist attack at his department Christmas Party. Fourteen people were killed, and twenty were seriously injured before the terrorists were killed by police. This came on the heels of a terrorist attack in Paris. This a sober reminder that, according to the FBI, there are Jihadist sleeper cells all over the US planning their attacks.

1) Homosexual Marriage vs. Religious Liberty & Kim Davis On June 26th, in a raw act of judicial tyranny, the US Supreme Court rendered an unconstitutional opinion that some believe makes homosexual marriage legal in all 50 states. The erroneous Obergefell decision led a Federal judge to make national news by throwing Kim Davis, a Kentucky County Clerk, in jail because she refused to issue same sex marriage licenses. DefendChristians.Org rallied with Governor Huckabee in support of Kim Davis and helped to secure her release. We are part of a movement to undo the unconstitutional Obergefell opinion. Some state legislatures are ready to begin nullification of the rogue opinion in early 2016.

Christian liberties and values are under attack. The United States is at a crossroad. If the United States Supreme Court sanctions homosexual as a federally protected right then Christians will surely face major repercussions.

Here is our list of four effects a Supreme Court ruling in favor of homosexual marriage would have:

1. The Closure of Christian Adoption Agencies

Already faithful Christian adoption agencies have stated that they would close their doors if the government required the agencies to allow homosexual couples to adopt from these institutions. Adoption agencies in England have already been forced to shut down.

Fascist homosexual activists have put these important charities in the untenable situation of either providing adoption services or violating their religion. Rather than appreciating the good work these charities do for children, vicious homosexual activists want the charities shut down to make a political point. The homosexual lobby is not about tolerance. They are intent on imposing their twisted ideology on everybody, no matter what harm it does, even if it hurts orphaned children.

2. The Likely Prohibition on Preaching Against Homosexuality and Counseling of Homosexuals

In California it is a crime to counsel minors that they can change their homosexual desires. New Jersey also has a similar statute that was upheld by the Third Circuit US Court of Appeals.

These prohibitions would prevent parents from getting help for their children who are struggling with homosexuality from counselors who might have a Biblical worldview regarding sexual morality. Christian counselors will not be able to provide emotional help for children struggling with same-sex attraction.

There are tens of thousands of ex-homosexuals who have left of the lifestyle and can testify of God’s grace in overcoming same sex attraction. Banning reparative therapy is another attempt by radical activists to force the acceptance of homosexuality on our children.

3. Churches and Others Would Lose Federal Tax Exemptions

Could lead to loss of contribution income and forfeiting of church properties to pro-homosexual groups. Already the Boy Scouts have been required to allow for homosexual membership in California or be stripped of their tax exemption. Churches are not far behind.

A bill meant to protect churches from this radical agenda has been placed on hold for two years in the US House of Representatives. The Marriage and Religious Freedom Act was introduced by Representative Raul Labrador from Idaho in 2013 but has made little movement since being referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

4. Businesses Mandated to Cater to Homosexual Couples

Lastly, it should be no surprise that Christian business owners will face an increasing amount of hostility, including fines, fees, and regulations by the government for not serving or catering to homosexual couples. The wedding industry is chalk full of stories of Christian business owners who faced severe backlash for not serving homosexual couples. If the Supreme Court rules that homosexual marriage is a fundamental right then Christian business owners would be required to participate if requested to by a homosexual couple.

TAKE ACTION
So what can we do now? The Supreme Court will release their ruling on this important issue on Thursday. There is still hope. Christian, we must pray that these judges use their God-give role to uphold the important institution of marriage as between one man and one woman.
No matter what, we must be courageous enough to stand by our Biblical values... even in the face of punishment!

Every year the President of the Unites States gives a report on the State of the Union. While it’s good to take stock of the condition of our nation, the glaring problem of the President’s address is that it misses the important truth about the real issues we face and their root causes.

Political correctness and secularism has eviscerated our ability to speak the truth and address the real moral issues of our day. But, with God’s help, we will not succumb to those temptations today. Too much is at stake to trifle with the future of our nation, the church and the souls of man to pander and obfuscate.

[...]

While there remains a majority who believe in God and who have a positive view of faith, a small but militant minority is hell bent on destroying all vestiges of our Christian heritage. Marxist / Secularists have prosecuted their 100 year Cultural Jihad to infiltrate the media, education and politics, especially the courts, and impose their secular fundamentalism. The election and re-election of Barack Obama is sobering proof of their formidable influence. President Obama even told a group of Muslims in Cairo that America is not a Christian nation!

Liberals hate God, capitalism and the natural family and any institution, like the church, that supports them. But, after five years of the most left-leaning administration in our history, the wheels are coming off. The Obama Administration has jerked the reigns too hard.

Obama-care is a disaster. Prior to Obama-care’s passage, 90% of people were happy with their insurance. Rather than addressing the 10%, the Obama administration has blown up the whole system in an attempt to impose failed, socialistic healthcare on everyone. Now scandals, incompetence and deceit have taken their toll. 2014 will bring a huge course correction to the ship of state, and the Tea-Party movement, conservatives and “Tea-vangelicals” are poised to make significant electoral gains.

For the last two generations students from kindergarten through graduate school have been constantly inculcated with the atheistic, humanistic, materialistic view of evolution. This is poisonous fountain from which flows humanism in all its Anti-Christian forms; Communism; Fascism, Relativism. But the evidence from science against evolution is mounting.

Darwin’s theory that life started from simple forms and evolved into more complex forms is being refuted almost daily. The more we know, the more see even that even the simplest forms of life are irreducibly complex and filled with millions of bits of complex genetic code. Did you know the human body has approximately 60 billion bits of intricate genetic information, at least that until recently, it might be as high as 120 billion bits.

Time Magazine recently reported a research team at the University of Washington has discovered a second code hidden within our DNA written on top of the other. The first code describes how proteins are made, the second language instructs the cell on how genes are to be controlled. Do you think further research will find there to be more or less complexity?

Stephan Hawkin, one of the famous “new atheists,” concludes; “The odds against a universe like ours emerging out of something like the Big Bang are enormous. I think there are clearly religious implications.”

It’s a good thing the religion of evolution has been protected by the courts. If it had to stand on its own merits it collapses like a house of cards. It has done incalculable harm, but its days are numbered as a serious scientific theory.

Top Ten Anti-Christian Acts of 2014

2014 was another wild and frustrating year for American Christians as the threats to our liberties and values are increasing. Here are the results of our online poll of the Top Ten Anti-Christian Acts of 2014. It’s not as predicable as you might think.

Rather than getting lost in the trees and not recognizing the forest, lets look at the larger trends revealed in the poll, and they are disconcerting.

Political correctness about social issues, (sexual deviancy and abortion) has been institutionalized publicly and privately. Biblically faithful Christians and their institutions are being pressured to compromise their values and accept arbitrary, tyrannical, secular ethics or feel the wrath of politicians, the courts, the academy, the media, and business.

Churches are being coerced to subsidize abortions, a pastor is on trial for telling the truth, ministers are bullied by a tyrannical mayor, and Christ is continuing to be blasphemed on network TV.

This is a sobering set of facts, but ones that ought to stir us to action, not resignation. As we pray and act, we do so in faith that God can turn us back to him. The means He uses our bold, counter-cultural voices of Truth. Christ calls us back to reality and to respect for His ordained institution of marriage and the sanctity of life created in His image and freedom to declare the whole counsel of God’s Word.

Share this list with your family and friends. We MUST engage in concerted prayer, evangelism and seek FIRST God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. America is ripe for either God’s justice or a heaven sent revival.

1. Christian colleges are now facing a new threat to their institutions... allow homosexual behavior or be stripped of accreditation. The New England Association of Schools and Colleges is threatening to strip Gordon College, of their accreditation unless the college accepts “homosexual practice” by it’s students.

2. Federal Judge, Michael Posner, ignored Supreme Court precedence and allowed a frivolous lawsuit to move forward against American minster, Scott Lively. Lively is a minister and an attorney and was invited by the Ugandan legislature to help them create laws to protect their society from the homosexual movement. Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), hauled Rev. Lively to US Federal Court under international law accusing him of “crimes against humanity.”

3. Annise Parker, the lesbian Houston mayor, ordered city’s churches to turn over sermons, any e-mails, text messages, and other communications that talk about homosexuality, gender identity issues, or Annise Parker herself. The pastors were targeted after organizing descent against a rbill passed by the city council that allowed transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their choice. After news spread throughout the Country, Parker’s attorney’s dropped the subpoenas.

4. HGTV canceled a new program, “Flip It Forward”, because of the stars support of traditional marriage. The series followed the life of two brothers, David and Jason Benham, as they helped struggling families buy fixer-upper homes and transform them into forever homes. Both brothers have been vocal about their support for traditional marriage.

5. The Girl Scouts USA introduced family planning into their curriculum in partnership with Planned Parenthood. The Girls Scouts also tout the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, as an “eloquent woman”.

6. California churches are now required to cover the costs of abortions as “basic health care.” The state legislature is trying to exploit a “loop-hole” in the national healthcare law for the pro-abortion agenda.

7. Mozilla CEO, Brendan Eich, was forced to resign from the huge tech company he founded after it was discovered he donated $1,000 towards legislation to uphold traditional marriage in California. Proposition 8 was a ballet initiative in support of traditional marriage that was approved by a majority of California voters, but was later ruled unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court.

8. American tax dollars are still being used to pay for abortions. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) in Washington, found that at least 1,036 plans use your tax dollars to fund abortion-on-demand.

9. A California male high school teacher returned as a woman from spring break. 56 year-old married father, Gary Sconce, has been a teacher at the rural Yosemite High School for 24 years. But after a letter was sent to the parents, he returned from the break as “Karen Adell Scot.”

10. “I only wish the Virgin would’ve had an abortion,” was belted out in a song by musical guest, Kristeen Young, on CBS’s The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. “The song,” according to Young, “is about the centuries of religious persecution of women.”

The Top Ten Anti-Christian Events in 2013 are:

10. "Quentin Tarantino parody" on the life of Jesus Christ, entitled “Djesus Uncrossed”, showing a fake movie trailer of Jesus engaging in extreme violence and shocking profanity.

9. The unveiling of an IRS scheme that harassed conservative organizations, including DefendChristians.org.

8. California bill stripping youth organizations of their tax exemption unless they allow for openly homosexual members.

7&6 [tie]. Air Force Technical Sergeant Layne Wilson faced sudden termination after he complained to a Air Force chaplain over the use of the Christian chapel for a homosexual “wedding”. California bill allowing “transgender” public school students to pick which bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams of which to be apart.

5. Boy Scouts caving to the immense pressure from radical homosexuals to allow homosexuals into the organization.

4. Southern Poverty Law Center partnering with Marines’ training on extremism and labeling pro-family organizations as “Christian terrorists.”

3&2 [tie]. US Senate passing Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a bill that would allow for cross-dressing teachers in public schools and punish Christian businesses and institutions for not hiring homosexuals. Supreme Court ruling that the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional.

1. Obamacare requiring Christian businesses and institutions to fund abortions.

I confess, I'm “Islamaphobic,” but for very good reasons.

My fear is not an irrational fear based on uniformed prejudice; rather it’s an historic, clear eyed, informed, rational fear. ISSA is doing to America journalists what every true follower of Mohammed wants to do to you and yours; subjugate or murder you. They believe they have been given a mandate by Allah (Satan) to dominate the world.

Fourteen years of history, both ancient and modern (i.e. the 1 to 1.5 million dead Armenians at the hands of the Muslim Turks in 1915) tell us that Muslims are deadly serious about their infernal goals. Now we get to watch their violent, demonic fanaticism on Youtube videos.

History shows where Muslims get the power and means to subjugate and behead Christians, Jews, et al, they do it. Why? It's really very simple: its what Mohammed did and taught. So I have what I believe is a very rational fear for what our children and their children will face. Do you?

Are there any solutions? All the seminars, petitions, books, laws, articles and other similar actions are worthless. Muslims laugh at us for how stupid we are when it comes to dealing with them.

Here’s three possible solutions, but really there’s only one.

1.) Conversion: Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Muslims turn from Satan (Allah) to Christ? But, I agree with Phil Robertson, this is not biblically doable. Why? God has a plan and he revealed it at the birth of Ishmael, the father of the Arabs. "The Angel of the Lord said....He [Ishmael] will be an ass of a man; His hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him..." (Genesis 16:11,12) The Arab Muslims are God's sworn enemies and are ordained by God to be against everyone. That’s not to say there will not be a small percentage of Muslims who will be saved by faith in Christ. But, even if they escape with their lives after “apostatizing” from Islam, their influence will be negligible. History does not record a mighty move of God in saving masses of Muslims. I believe the scriptures militate against mass Muslim conversions.

2.) D.A.M.N.: Depart All Muslims Now. Deport them like Spain was forced to do when they deported the Muslim Moors. Muslims in America are procreating at twice the rate of other groups. So, either we force them all to get sterilized, or we wait for the “Army of Islam” to arise in our midst and do what Muslims always do, resort to violence. Just see what they are doing in France, Britain and Scandinavia. Fat chance our politicians will do anything until its too late, unless, of course, "We the People" demand otherwise. But, history shows America is always late to the fight. Or, we can do what most Americans are doing, wishfully think we are the exception and Muslims will all of a sudden change and want to co-exist. This is irrational and stupid, but it makes life more tolerable. Knowing that every Mosque in America is conspiring to kill you and yours is terrifying.

3.) Violence: The only thing that is biblical and that 1400 years of history has shown to work is overwhelming Christian just war and overwhelming self defense. Christian Generals Charles Martel in 732 and Jon Sobieski in 1672 defeated Islamic Turks and their attempts to take the West. Who will God raise up to save us this time? Will God even intervene or turn us over to the Muslims for turning against Him?

Either way, we must be prepared for the increase of terror at home and abroad. This is not irrational, but the loving thing we must do for our children and neighbors. First trust in God, then obtain a gun(s), learn to shoot, teach your kids the Christian doctrines of just war and self defense, create small cells of family and friends that you can rely on if some thing catastrophic happens and civil society suddenly melts down.

ISSI has done us all a favor. The true face of Islam is on full display even as Mohammed is burning in hell. We will have to face the harsh truth that Islam has no place in civilized society. Muslims cannot live in a society based on Christian ideals of equality and liberty. They will always seek to harm us.

Now the only question is how many more dead bodies will have to pile up at home and abroad before we crush the vicious seed of Ishmael in Jesus name? The Good News is Jesus, and his indestructible Church, will prevail, but there will be pain and heartache along the way to victory. May we be willing to take the lesser pains now so our children won’t have to take greater pains later.

We are all horrified by the images coming out of the Middle East and the brutality that is being carried out by ISIS/ISIL jihadists, coming out of Syria. Iraqi Christians have been singled out for conversion or death, or subjugation by the jihadists. Beheading children, crucifying teenagers, murdering fathers and husbands, raping and enslaving mothers and girls, are all part of the vicious tactics of a heartless, terrorist ideology.

AMERICA’S HYPOCRISY!

While there is no excuse for the brutality that’s being carried out in Iraq, what we fail to see is the moral hypocrisy that ought to be a scandal in America. Yes we should, and hopefully will, stand up to the jihadists, but doesn’t it seem hypocritical? Why? In Iraq there are foreign invaders brutalizing and beheading children. In America we brutalize and behead our own children! Surgical abortion is nothing less horrific or less brutal than what we see happening to the children in Iraq, only WE ARE DOING IT TO OUR OWN CHILDREN!

America is religiously and morally schizophrenic. Built on a foundation of Christian law it has been hijacked by secular relativists. Secularism is NO less a religion than any other faith, yet it is arguably the most subjective of them all. The only answer for the United States judicial system is to return to our tried-and-true Christian heritage.

Some people argue this would mean having a “church dominated state." This is not in accordance with our history or the facts. While there is a legitimate way to speak of the separate spheres or jurisdictions of church and state, both are subject to God and his standards of justice. All spheres of jurisdiction are responsible to God; the individual, the family, the church and the civil government. Because God is the only legitimate source of justice, you cannot separate God from government.

Currently we are under the arbitrary god of humanistic secularism that makes an idol of the machinations of man. May the "laws of nature and nature's God", revealed in scripture, be our moral compass, not the clever deductions of black-robed tyrants.

This landmark ruling regarding Hobby Lobby will answer the question, "is there room in America anymore for Christian based business?"

Marlise Munoz, a Texas paramedic, was recently found unconscious by her husband, Erick. Marlise was pregnant with their second child, but had lost oxygen to her brain and became brain dead. The incident may have also left the baby disabled.

Texas law prohibits a hospital from withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment for a pregnant patient so the unborn baby could live. Still, Erick Munoz, Marlise’s husband, urged the hospital to remove her from life support.

While Marlise’s wishes were not in writing, Erick said that she had verbalized the desire to not have machines keep her organs and blood running. But, what about the baby and her organs and blood?

Last Friday a judge ignored the Texas law and ordered the removal of life support. On Sunday afternoon the life-support was removed from Marlise. She and her baby both died.

The death of baby Munoz is a tragic example of hard-hearted parental hatred, willful judicial blindness, political cowardliness by pro-life politicians, and silent consent by pastors. People were standing by to adopt and love this child, no matter how difficult it might have been, but the family, state and church considered this baby better off dead. Attorney General Abbot, Texas Governor Rick Perry, pro-life pastors, where are you when it counts?

Imperious judges are not God, nor can they conveniently take the blame as if all other legitimate authorities are not also responsible to uphold justice. Judges are not infallible and when they make illegal, murderous decrees they are not binding. Judges who ignore the law can and should be defied by the executive branch that is charged with enforcing justice.

When it comes down to checking the illegal decree of a judge, Texas officials lost their principle and their nerve and simply bowed down to a judge. This is the Jeb Bush and Terry Schiavo debacle all over again. What good are pro-life politicians if they don’t stop this kind of gross injustice?

A Note to American Atheists

Don't Feed The Trolls

Gary Cass #fundie defendchristians.org

As we enter the Christmas season, atheist groups are lining up again to bash Christianity.

A group called American Atheists purchased a billboard in New Jersey that shows a silhouette of the Three Wise Men approaching the Nativity. Underneath is written, “You KNOW it’s a Myth. This Season, Celebrate REASON!”

It’s interesting that this same hostility isn’t displayed against Muslims during Ramadan or towards Jews during their Holy Days.

Apparently the American Atheists are ignorant of the fact that history proves Christ’s birth is not a myth. Jesus is not only the promised Messiah, God born of human flesh, he is the crucified and risen Savior of the World. Over three hundred fulfilled biblical prophecies, corroborated by non-Christian sources and eyewitness testimony are stubborn facts atheists simply pretend aren’t there.

Atheists seem to hold a deep-seated, irrational resentment against Christmas and the joyous message of salvation that it declares. They are apparently too proud to admit their sin and need of a Savior, so they flee to “REASON.” Yet, their atheistic reasoning is so inconsistent and depressing.

I have always wondered why atheists spend money on billboards to try to persuade others of their position if they really believe their own ideology. According to honest atheists, if there is no God logic dictates there is no truth, right or wrong, or meaning.

Yet some atheists are compelled to live as if what they think is true, and that their lives actually do matter. It looks to me like they didn’t read their Nietzsche very closely and can’t live according to “REASON” after all.
