In This Diary I've enclosed a peice from Max Blumenthal at the July 27, 2007 "Rapture Ready", where John Haggee had Max and his team removed after Max confronted Haggee......Enjoi
NOT TO ...................
to disrespect what is the plan of Godin any wise. " For I know the plans I have for ," declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Yet, to challenge the "beliefs and the assertions", of the so called Christian Right and Conservative Republican law makers that push the "Right's issues". This week we have an excerpt from a man some would probably call Anti-Christian. I won't call him that. Max Blumenthalis probably one of the best investigative journalist that this country has produced. He has done extensive research and study of the so-called Christian Right's influence in the Republican tell all "Republican Gomorrah".
MAX BLUMENTHAL ON 'RAPTURE READY'.............
"I have never witnessed any spectacle as politically extreme, outrageous, or bizarre as the one Christians United for Israel produced last week in Washington. See it for yourself below the fold July 27, 2007:"
FROM TALK TO ACTION.............
"During the week of July 1, lawyers representing far-right Pastor John Hagee demanded that YouTube remove scores of videos supposedly infringing on the copyright of John Hagee Ministries. YouTube acceded to Hagee's attorneys without even a cursory review of their claims. As the Huffington Post's Sam Stein reported, the maneuver resulted in the immediate disappearance of over 120 videos from YouTube -- almost all of which depicted the preacher in a negative light.
Among the videos removed by YouTube was my mini-documentary, "Rapture Ready: The Christians United For Israel Tour." Considering that my piece contained no copyrighted material whatsoever, it became apparent to me that Hagee's minions were guided by ulterior political motives. Instead of guarding their copyrights, they sought to stifle legitimate reporting on Hagee's far-out End Times ideology."
NEED4TRTH'S THOUGHTS............
Not to mock or make fun of Christians. I myself am a believer in Christ. It's just that the use of Israel and the use of Christ by the not So Right is more than hypocritical. It's out and out wrong and not Bible based.
Jeremiah 29:11 says, "<span style="color: red;">For I know the plans I have for you</span>," declares the LORD, "<span style="color: red;">. This is possibly the most incorrectly used reference from the God's word.
FROM MATTHEW HENRY'S CONCISE COMMENTARY.........
<span style="color: #20124d;">"Let men beware how they call those prophets whom they choose after their own fancies, and how they consider their fancies and dreams to be revelations from God. False prophets flatter people in their sins, because they love to be flattered; and they speak smoothly to their prophets, that their prophets may speak smoothly to them. God promises that they should return after seventy years were accomplished. By this it appears, that the seventy years of the captivity are not to be reckoned from the last captivity, but the first. It will be the bringing to pass of God's good word to them. This shall form God's purposes. We often do not know our own minds, but the Lord is never at an uncertainty. We are sometimes ready to fear that God's designs are all against us; but as to his own people, even that which seems evil, is for good. He will give them, not the expectations of their fears, or the expectations of their fancies, but the expectations of their faith; the end he has promised, which will be the best for them. When the Lord pours out an especial spirit of prayer, it is a good sign that he is coming toward us in mercy. Promises are given to quicken and encourage prayer. He never said, Seek ye me in vain. Those who remained at Jerusalem would be utterly destroyed, notwithstanding what the false prophets said to the contrary. The reason has often been given, and it justifies the eternal ruin of impenitent sinners; Because they have not hearkened to my words; I called, but they refused."</span>
