Don't tempt God

I thought this would be a good day to transfer the body of this e-letter to Facebook:

If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!



A United States Marine was taking some college courses
between assignments. He had completed 20 missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.  One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in.
He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "GOD, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform...

I'll give you exactly 15 min."

The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting."

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.

The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence.  The professor eventually came to noticeably shaken and asked, "What is the world is the matter with you?  Why did you do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "GOD was too busy today protecting America’s soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot so he sent me."

The classroom erupted into cheers.

Bishop DeMarzio's Admonition



Bishop DeMarzio's Admonition

A forwarded e-letter:

From: "Liberty Counsel"
Date: Feb 7, 2013 6:04:34 PM
Subject: This Bishop has it right!
To: <
llizz251@verizon.net>
 
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

2/7/2013
 
Bishop Nicholas DeMarzio says that President Obama “Is a proponent of what is 'shameful and criminal in the eyes of almighty God’” (as reported by CNSNews.com).
 
Please see my very important update below – Mat.

Louise, 

There is no doubt that the President who wants to “fundamentally transform our nation” will stop at nothing to advance his radical anti-life, anti-family, anti-liberty agenda.
 
It has become clear that Barack Obama has but little regard for the moral, spiritual, and founding principles upon which our nation and its culture were established.  

Instead, our President misuses his bully pulpit to advance homosexuality, abortion, contraception, abortifacients, insurmountable debt (which the Bible clearly speaks against), and now gun control – all at the expense of unalienable rights endowed to us by God and codified in our Constitution.
 
As a result, many basic human rights are now being openly subverted. This abuse has become so intolerable that the right to life of the preborn is not only brushed aside, but those who morally object to the killing of these babies are being forced to pay for their deaths!  

++Falling ever deeper into the “Culture of Death.”

Bishop DiMarzio, in a recent column entitled “Deeper into the Culture of Death,” asserts that President Obama, as the first president of African-American decent, should be among the most outspoken adversaries of abortion – knowing, as he surely must, that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, always wanted to use the organization to control the births of unwanted Black babies who she felt were inferior human beings.
 
That’s right – Margaret Sanger was an outspoken eugenicist caught up in the same “master race” insanity that later fully expressed itself in the Third Reich. Her maniacal intent was to “purify” the population of undesirable genetic strains, including Black Americans.

Sanger’s damnable heritage in our culture today are those so-called “clinics” operated by Planned Parenthood, which to this day target minority members of our population, and with taxpayer support, is the largest single abortion provider in the country.

++A failure of executive leadership.

Here’s how the Bishop phrased his disappointment in the Obama presidency…
“He [Obama] has chosen to use the bully pulpit not to call upon us all to be nobler and to embrace each child, regardless of origins and circumstances; rather, he has been a proponent of an expediency that is shameful and criminal in the eyes of Almighty God.
   
The forces of death press on from every side in contemporary American culture. It is clear there is an assault on the people of faith in our country… In my view, those who voted for President Obama bear the responsibility for a step deeper in the culture of death. Under the cover of women’s issues, we now see an assault on religious freedom and personal conscience.
 
I would have hoped that the first African-American president of the United States would have stood on the side of freedom for all. Instead, he stands on the side of political expediency.”

++Sadly, Barack Obama knows exactly what he’s doing.

In order to advance his radical agenda, President Obama knows that he must systematically undermine the rights of the citizenry while simultaneously making the population beholden to the government – slaves of the system, if you will.

That is Statism, pure and simple. And its proponents know they must silence those who oppose their escalating power-grabs.

That is precisely what “liberal progressives” are doing. Right now, there is an overt effort to undermine our First and Second Amendment Rights. Rights once guaranteed by our Constitution are being rapidly dismantled.

++ Liberty Counsel has initiated our powerful “I Second the First” campaign for this very reason.

Liberty Counsel’s “I Second the First” campaign communicates to our elected representatives that…
“We the People” demand that our federal government return to the rule of law as established by the United States Constitution!
 
This is a citizen action that every freedom-loving American should take. If you would, please make your circle of friends aware of this campaign and the availability of the complimentary “I Second the First” campaign stickers.

Libyan Embassy Fiasco



Libyan Embassy Fiasco

“Osama bin Laden is dead and Al-Qaeda is on the run:” President Obama, five days before the attack on the embassy in Libya on 9/11/13.  The narrative that was trying to be promoted by President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was that the tumultuous area in the Middle East and surrounding area was pacified.  You would have to be living in a complete state of delirium to believe that.

One faction or another has been trying to drive the Israelites out of the Holy Land since the time of the Exodus and will continue till the end of time.  Any supporters of Israel will incur the same wrath.  In 2 Samuel 12:10 we see God telling David, “….the sword shall never depart from your house….”  Believe it or not, it’s your choice. 

“What difference does it make?” ???  Nice try Madam Secretary.  If you can’t or don’t want to answer the Congressman’s question at the Congressional hearing, put up a smokescreen of indignation.  The difference that it makes is that you screwed up.  Instead of answering Ambassador Stevens urgent pleas to beef up security at the Libyan Embassy you were withdrawing security forces.  You had all the authority you needed, while your boss was out campaigning for the 2014 elections, to provide the security the Ambassador needed.  That’s why you were given the job of Secretary of State.  As late as August 16th
dispatch was sent to you by the Ambassador stating that 10 different hostile militia groups were present in Benghazi and that there was an Al-Qaeda training camp active in the city and that the embassy could not sustain an organized attack.  This was reported by investigative reporter Catherine Herridge. 

The Secretary gambled with the lives of the Ambassador and others to promote the image that the administration cleared the area of any hostile forces and she lost.  If this happened anywhere but in government I don’t think it’s far-fetched to believe she would be facing manslaughter charges.
