Democrat or Republican? Let the Bible Decide!

Christian Democrat ... That's Impossible!

I do not know about you, but I am so tired of hearing people say they are Christians and vote Democrat. I believe it is impossible to be both because their beliefs are complete opposites of each other. I believe it is also wrong to always vote Republican and call yourself a Christian because many Republicans have beliefs that are contrary to Christian teachings as well. I believe a true Christian has to be Independent of both parties and vote for the lesser evil. It is virtually impossible to vote Democrat because one never finds a Democrat with less evil values than his or her Republican opponent.

If you know one, please cue me in so I can give him or her my full support!

Now, you are probably thinking ... "This guy is nuts!" and "How can he say such nonsense?"

Who care what I think? What really matters is what God thinks ... so ... let's take a look!

Remember, when you vote for a political candidate, you do not just vote for the person; essentially ... you vote for every ideal and belief that person holds. In short, what every impact that person has on society ... either good or bad ... is partly your responsibility.

St. Paul wrote to the church in Corinthians this, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil." 2 Corinthians 5:10

This means that God hold you personally responsible for your actions ... Good and Bad.

Let us take a look at what God thinks about the mainstream political platform that most Democrats support and vote for in the Congress and Senate. Which also translates, what you support when you support the Democrats.

What God says about "Gay Marriage and Homosexuality."
Most have heard the saying, "God made Eve and not Steve!" Well, this is true. Not because I say so, but because God believed a woman was the perfect companion for man, not another man.

"Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him' ... Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man." Genesis 2 18, 22 NLT

"Haven't you read the Scriptures?"Jesus replied."God made them male and female... This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together."Matthew 19:4-6NLT

"That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex ans instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved." Romans 1:26-27 NLT

Their are many others on this subject, but why be redundant ... let's go to the next Democratic platform.

Most Abortions are done for convenience.
Approximately 93% of abortions are done out of convenience. It is very important to understand that the woman's heath is an issue only 3% of the time and rape or incest are an issue about 1% of the time. Democrats would have you think that women's health is the primary issue at stake when supporting "Pro-choice." This is not the case.
The truth is a large percentage of woman regret having an abortion later because she realizes that she did it for her own selfish reasons.

Abortion is an act of Murder.
Did your know that the term "with child" is in the Bible twenty-six times and the reference to "with fetus" does not exist.

Democrats argue that abortion is not murder because the baby is a "fetus" and does not become a human being until after birth. However, even scientist believe that life begins at the time of conception. If you do not believe me, go ahead and research the numerous scientist that attest to this fact.

What does the God say?
He hates those who shed innocent blood! Deuteronomy 27:25
"Cursed is anyone who accepts payment to kill an innocent person. And all the people will reply, Amen." Deuteronomy 27:25 NLT
"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 NLT
"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and kit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born." Psalm 139 13-16 NLT

Like before, there is many more, but why be redundant. The message is clear.

As I said before, prove to me that it is possible to be both Christian and Democrat!

"Religion of Peace" ... Don't Think So!

Islam is NOT "The Religion of Peace!"

The "Piss Christ" photograph is a perfect example of the difference between Christians and Muslims and why each faith act so differently when persecution comes to their faith.

The fundamental difference is this, Christians have the New Testament and do their best to live by this very popular scripture.

"If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also." Luke 6:29 NLT

The timing could not be better, after all, it has only been a couple of weeks since the release of You Tube's "Innocence of Muslims" and the violence in dozens of nations against U.S. embassies which resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American heroes.

So, why do Muslims react in such a different manner than Christians when their sacred beliefs have been "stepped on?" Why do they react violently against others that do not believe the same as they do? Maybe it is because they believe in teachings that is very different than the Christians. Maybe their core beliefs contain something very much different. Maybe the Infidels, which is us, is seen in a much different light. After all, they are "coined" the "religion of peace", but it this true? Let us look at some of their teachings and judge for yourself.

Remember, the Christian New Testament teaches Christians to "Turn the cheek" against their enemies and forgive their enemies.

Let us take a look at what the Koran tells the Muslims to do to their enemies.

"Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them." (2.191)
"Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." (9:123)
"When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them." (9:5)
"Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax." (9:29)
"Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." (3:85)
"Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam." (5:33)

"The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque." (9:28)
"Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies." (22:19)
"Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them." (47:4)
"The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them." (8:65)
"Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." (3:28)
"Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran." (8:12)
"Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." (8:60)

Yes, the Old Testament does have some verses that can be argued as similar to the ones above such as "You must show no pity for the guilty! Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." Deuteronomy 19:21 NLT

Christians believe that the Old Testament was the "Old Covenant" that was established through Moses between God and man and the New Testament is the "New Covenant" that was established through our Savior Jesus Christ and his death for our sins. This is why Christians place more weight on New Testament scripture and find the teachings of Jesus much more relevant than those of the Old Testament. For Christians, the Old Testament is great for teaching stories of morale and character, but look to the New Testament for how to live their lives. The ultimate goal for a Christian is to be "like Christ" in every way possible. Jesus always taught forgiveness, love, and kindness.

Here are some of Jesus's teachings of how Christians should treat their enemies.

"But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!" Matthew 5:44 NLT
"But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Luke 6:27 NLT
"Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then you reward form heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked." Luke 6:35 NLT

One can easily see the strikingly opposite teachings of the Christian's Jesus and Islam's Mohammad. I would argue that this is the true reason why there is a fundamental difference between reactions of these different faiths when they are persecuted by their enemies. I would also argue that this is the also the reason why it is politically incorrect to persecute Muslims, but fair game to persecute the Christians.

It is simple! It is OK to persecute Christians because everyone knows that they will do the peaceful thing and "turn the other cheek." Everyone knows that Christians will not be rioting in the streets and burning U.S. flags. They know that they will not be rising up and conducting terrorist attacks on embassies and killing our American heroes. I deplore you and everyone who reads this message, stop believing the liberal lies and do not fall into the trap of political correctness. See and speak the truth about the truth behind these religions. The biggest lie out there is that Islam is the "Religion of Peace!" I argue otherwise, I say the Christians are the "Religion of Peace." After all, I have always been led to believe that "Actions speak louder than words!"

If you do not believe, please show me proof otherwise!

Obama "American" Flag

Arrogance is an understatement

Anyone that has anything to do with this should be ashamed! It does not matter if one created it or supports it. It is a disgrace! The one that should be most ashamed is President Obama, for allowing it to happen.

God's Holy Word says, "I, the LORD, will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their sin. I will crush the arrogance of the proud and humble the pride of the mighty." Isaiah 13:11 NLT

Of course there is arrogance on all sides of the political spectrum, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, etc. etc. etc.

But, the Democratic party just seems to reek of it! No one likes to admit they are wrong or made a mistake, but the Liberals never do. Everything is always someone else's fault. Just think about it, Obama has been President for almost 4 years now and they are still blaming Bush for the dismal economy and high unemployment. When will the Democrats finally take ownership of our nation's terrible situation?

The Bible describes Liberals this way, "Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people." Romans 16:18 NLT

Most of the people who support Democrats are not evil people. Most are very good people, but they are deceived and ignorant of the truth behind the Liberal agenda. They believe Democrats are fighting for them, when the truth is they are fighting against them, fighting for their own personal political interests.  Of course, one may argue that Republicans do the same thing and I would tell you, "Yes, you are right, but at least Republicans do not dream and plot to change our great Capitalist Republic into a Socialist Marxist Utopia."

Most Democrat supporters do not understand this part. They are ignorant to the true Liberal agenda and the ones that are not ignorant, either do not want to or refuse to accept the truth. Take a close look at the liberal platform and just try to stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself it is not true. Everything from Social to Economic Justice to spreading the wealth to forcing government dependence onto the people, every major liberal agenda falls directly in line with Carl Marx's theories.

If you are middle to upper class, you are the bourgeoisie "in the eyes" of the liberals.

Why is Obama Shocked to Hear the Truth?

He's not shocked ... he's a good liar ... I mean politician!

Why has Obama expressed shock in the statement by Mitt Romney that half of our country does not pay taxes and do not care in his efforts to lower taxes. Why is so many people making such a big deal over the truth? Is it not true that our nation has become a "Nation of Entitlement?" Does not half of our population depend on the other half to take care of them?

Why should we blame them? Heck, I'm starting to get really pissed that I worked my "butt off" all these years and continue to do so every day, just to give 20% to 30% back to the government every spring. Maybe I should just sit at home, get fat, and draw a government paycheck. Hell, I've worked hard for many years, am I not entitled to do so? Of course I am! I have paid in my fair share and more! So, I could sit at home for the next 2+ years and draw a free government check but I will not because of one very important reason.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 "Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: Those unwilling to work will not get to eat."

Pride!

Don't misunderstand me, there are many people that are receiving government assistance that either earned it or deserve it. Such as those with disabilities or retired veterans; what I'm talking about here is those that are simply either too lazy or think they are "too good" to flip-a-burger or take whatever job is available. There are so many people out there that have absolutely no problem with taking a handout from tax payers like me, but find it embarrassing to flip-a-burger.

Obadiah 1:3 "You have been deceived by your own pride because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains. 'Who can ever reach us way up here?' you ask boastfully."

It blows my mind! Come on people, you should be thinking just the opposite. You might as well be standing out on the street corner with a sign around your neck that says, "Give me your money because I'm too lazy to work for my own!" What you are doing is the same thing. You should be proud to flip-a-burger, work in a warehouse, or anything else that is legal. You should find pride in the knowledge that you are "making-it" on your own.

2 Peter 1:10 So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called ans chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. NLT

America needs to regain this type of thinking if we ever wish to return to the great nation that we once were! I have to agree with Gov. Romney, we have become a nation of those filled with a sense of Entitlement.

Stop acting shocked to hear the truth!

God Works in Mysterious Ways!

God Works in Mysterious Ways!

Ecclesiastes 11:5 "Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother's womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things."

For the last couple of weeks my family has been involved in a Garage Sale. One of the items for sale was an antique Duncan Fife table just like in the picture to the right. Last weekend, a stranger by the name of Janelle was really interested in buying the table but left and told us that she wanted to think over buying the table because it had some damage and needs repair. Janelle did return the next day and bought the table. She promised that she would hire a wood working expert to repair the table and return it to a "like-new" condition.

This last weekend, Janelle noticed that we were having the Garage Sale for a second weekend in a row and dropped in for a third visit to see if she could find anything interesting.

As she was browsing through my "Ole Kentucky Home" garage, she overheard my Dad talking about our hometown in Tennessee. We were surprised to hear her tell us how she was from the same small city and asked us if we knew any of her family that still lived there. We were all shocked to learn that we knew her family very well. In fact, my Dad and I both previously worked with her nephew. I then jokingly made a remark about how I sold him a car that he never finished paying for; she was astonished and it was apparent that she thought very highly of her nephew. She mentioned how everything was willed to him and he is a well-respected member of the city council. She then did something that no one expected; she took out her checkbook and immediately wrote a check for the full amount owed by her nephew. My wife and I told her that doing this was not necessary, but she would not "hear of it!" She was animate that it was God's will that our paths crossed and she would not leave us alone until she paid me.

Jesus commanded, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone." Mark 16:15 NLT

The funny thing is, my wife and I have been thinking about how we could come up with some money to support a missionary trip for our church missionary. We believe that God "set-into-motion" these series of events that allowed for us to receive money for a debt that was forgiven over 19 years ago. Every cent of this money will go to the missionary trip to Honduras.

To God be the Glory!

Politics Explained in Cow Terms

"... If your son or your COW falls into a pit, don't you proceed at once to get him out?"
Luke 14:5 NLT

A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT:  You have two cows.  You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

A SOCIALIST:  You have two cows.  The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.

AN AMERICAN REPUBLICAN:  You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

AN AMERICAN DEMOCRAT:  You have two cows.  Your neighbor has none.  You feel guilty for being successful.  You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax.  The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous.

A COMMUNIST:  You have two cows.  The government seizes both and provides you with milk.

A FASCIST:  You have two cows.  The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:  You have two cows.  The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE:  You have two cows.  You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:  You have two cows.  The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.  You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

A FRENCH CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You go on strike because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

A BRITISH CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  They are mad.  They die. Pass the shepherd's pie, please.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION:  You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows.  You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION:  You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You enter into a partnership with an American corporation.  Soon you have 1000 cows and the American corporation declares bankruptcy.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You worship both of them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported on them.

AN ISRAELI CORPORATION:  There are these two Jewish cows, right?  They open a milk factory, an ice cream store, and then sell the movie rights. They send their calves to Harvard to become doctors. So, who needs people?

AN ARKANSAS CORPORATION:  You have two cows.  That one on the left is kinda cute.

Difference Between Repulicans and Democrats

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless person fifty dollars.

Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats

"Even while we were with you, we gave you this command; 'Those unwilling to work will not get to eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10 NLT

What is Politics?

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense,"

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.


Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."

The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."


The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep poo."

World's First Video Games

Willy Higginbotham

The first video game was invented by Willy Higginbotham. Willy was no teenage computer wizkid, however. In the early 1940s he worked on advanced radar displays for B28 bombers and went on to work for the Manhattan Project where he designed the timing mechanism for the first atomic bomb. In 1958, bored by the displays of the Brookhaven National Labs annual open-day exhibition, Willy designed a tennis game simulation, the world’s first video game. It was called Tennis For Two. Willy did not take out a patent but even if he had the royalties would have been paid to the US government.

Game development on main frame computers continued through the years, with Spacewar! being one of thefirst and certainly one of the most known games. Launched in 1962, it was programmed on a DEC PDP-1 by Steven Russell.



Galaxy Game

The first game console was called the Brown Box, created by Ralph Baer in 1966 to control a video home console ping-pong game. Baer sold the console to Magnavox Odyssey and went on to design the first game light gun for the Shooting Gallery game.



The first coin-operated video arcade game, Galaxy Game, was launched in September 1971 by Bill Pitts and Hugh Tuck. However, it was beaten to the commercial market by Computer Space, launched two months later by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. In November 1972 Bushnell launched PONG for his Atari company. It would become the first significantly successfull coin-operated video arcade game. Atari would continue with releases, including the famous Asteroids shooting game (pictured), legandary amongst ardent arcade gamers.

The Woz, breakout, and jail break

Before Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created the Apple computer in 1976, they designed a popular arcade game for Atari called Breakout. By then, Steve “the woz” Wozniak was already famous as a white-hat hacker, bypassing phone systems – known as phone phreaking – to make make free long distance calls.
The woz went on to concentrate on computers but it is rather apt that the company he co-owns returned to the phone market in such a big way in the form of the iPhone, launched in July 2007. One can only smile that the title of their early game resembles the terminology for hacking the iPhone; jail break.


The other game guys
During this time of exciting arcade game development, another famous computer personality had other programs on his mind. In his early years Bill Gates (b. 1955) formed a company to sell a computerized traffic counting system to cities, making $20,000 its first year. Business dropped sharply when customers learned Gates was only 14 years old. By the time he was 17, Gates had partnered with Paul Allen to form a new venture and, when he was 20, they launched Microsoft (at first spelled with a hyphen: Micro-Soft). It was this company that would create the most played computer games – PC, not arcade – of all time: the card games that come pre-installed on Windows operating systems.

All said and done, none of the above mentioned computer geniuses developed the very first coin operated system or the very first graphical computer game. The latter was created in 1952 by Alexander S Douglas. It was, and still is, called OXO, also known as Noughts and Crosses, or simply as a Tic-Tac-Toe game. The first coin-operated system of any kind was developed in the first century by Hero of Alexander – it was used to dispense holy water.

Muslim Religious Leader Instructs Men to Beat Wives!

Ephesians 5:25 "For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church. He gave up his life for her."

Muslim cleric, Abd Al-Rahman recently instructed men to "Beat" their wives in order to show them that they are beneath the husband. This is a transcribe of what he said,

"A good woman, even if beaten by her husband, puts her hand in his and says: 'I will not rest until you are pleased with me.' This is how the Prophet Muhammad taught his women to be. Islam instructs a man to beat his wife as a last resort before divorce, so that she will mend her ways, treat him with kindness and respect, and know that her husband has a higher status than her."

"I say to every husband: Do not rush to beat her whenever a problem arises. O servant of Allah, Allah said, 'Admonish those of them on whose part you fear disobedience, refusal to share their beds, and beat them.' One should not beat out of anger."

I still have not figured out why these people are called the "Religion of Peace." Everything that I have seen points exactly to the opposite.

What do you say?

T'was the Night Before Elections

T'was the night before elections,
And all thru' the town,
Tempers were flaring
Emotions ran up and down.
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap,
Had shut off the TV,
tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay
To hand out to others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink.
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart.
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
'On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, on Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at a nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think on this one final note...
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!
