It's a girl! British royal succession rules to change PERTH, Australia (Reuters) - Centuries of British royal discrimination came to an end Friday after Commonwealth leaders agreed to drop rules that give sons precedence as heir to the throne and bar anyone in line for the crown from marrying a Roman Catholic. The 16 countries that have Queen Elizabeth as their monarch agreed to the changes put forward by British Prime Minister David Cameron, who had called the rules of succession outdated. "The idea that a younger son should become monarch instead of an elder daughter simply because he is a man, or that a future monarch can marry someone of any faith except a Catholic…

Fundamentalist Christians protest at Paris theater PARIS (AP) — The city of Paris is filing legal complaints against a group of fundamentalist Christians who have been protesting a play currently showing at the municipal theater, claiming it is blasphemous, the mayor said Friday. Riot police have been called in to chase off demonstrators bearing crosses loudly protesting in front of, and sometimes inside, the Theatre de la Ville since the Oct. 20 opening of the play. "Sur le Concept du Visage du fils de Dieu" ("On the Concept of the Son of God's Face"), by Italian Romeo Castellucci is a provocative story centering on a young man caring for his aged and incontinent fat…

THERE'S A MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE August 11, 2011 NewsWithViews.com By Coach Dave Daubenmire I think it is time to stop pulling our punches. Because we have been bull-whipped with political correctness, most people are afraid to state what is obvious. ” I will no longer be bullied by fear of ridicule into denying what is plainly obvious to anyone with the courage to look with un-biased eyes. I don’t care how much the media covers for him, or how much his communist cabal yells “racist” every time someone questions one of his policies, or how many years he spent hiding in Jeremiah Wright’s “church, Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. I don’t care what names they …

With modern day technology anyone can realize their dream of being a writer. My wife and I are about as normal as you get, but we have three books published. Is there anyone else here who's ever written a book or ever wanted to? Just curious.

What Is It We Wish to Conserve? By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - October 25, 2011 A conservative's task in society is "to preserve a particular people, living in a particular place during a particular time." Jack Hunter, in a review of this writer's new book, "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?" thus summarizes Russell Kirk's view of the duty of the conservative to his country. Kirk, the traditionalist, though not so famous as some of his contemporaries at National Review, is now emerging as perhaps the greatest of that first generation of post-World War II conservatives -- in the endurance of his thought. Richard Nixon believed that. Forty ye…

I see all the time where people toss books and teachers because they do not agree with everything they say. That’s fine to do, but in the end you could really miss out on learning something that God wants you to know. From Moses and Aaron to Samson and David, God’s pattern is using imperfect men to accomplish impossible tasks. If you wind up tossing every book (or preacher!) that happens to have something wrong in it, you’ll wind up with nothing but the Bible. That may be okay for a while, but that Bible tells you that we’re supposed to learn from teachers (Eph. 4:11, I Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1). Other than God and the Bible, every book and teacher will have pro…

Religion claims its place in Occupy Wall Street BOSTON (AP) — Downtown Dewey Square is crammed with tents and tarps of Occupy Boston protesters, but organizers made sure from the start of this weeks-old encampment that there was room for the holy. No shoes are allowed in the "Sacred Space" tent here, but you can bring just about any faith or spiritual tradition. A day's schedule finds people balancing their chakras, a "compassion meditation" and a discussion of a biblical passage in Luke. Inside, a Buddha statue sits near a picture of Jesus, while a hand-lettered sign in the corner points toward Mecca. The tent is one way protesters here and in other cities have take…

Is it religious bigotry for a Christian to point out the truth about a false religion? Why should religion not be a concern when considering candidates? Since there is no "religious test" to be a candidate for office, or to hold office, does that mean individuals shouldn't consider religious aspects concerning candidates? If the candidates were a Muslim, a Moonie, a Branch Davidian, a Wiccan, a Satanist, and/or a fire and brimstone old time Christian Fundamentalist, would the media and wishy-washy folks still say religion didn't matter? Should it matter? Does ones choice of religion reflect upon their charactor, ability to reason, worldview, or other matters?

Army general flares: ‘where were the churches’ in fight against Don’t Ask repeal? <p class="author-detail-wrapper"> by Kathleen Gilbert Wed Oct 12, 2011 17:33 EST WASHINGTON, D.C., October 12, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - One of America’s most seasoned war generals expressed frustration at the silence of Christian churches as the U.S. military’s ban on open homosexuality fell to a repeal effort earlier this year. Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin described at the Values Voter Summit on Saturday the exasperation of pro-family leaders in Washington who found themselves abandoned by church leaders unwilling to make a stand for the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

READER'S ADVICE: DROP 'THE CHRISTIAN ARGUMENT' ABOUT PUBLIC EDUCATION October 13, 2011 NewsWithViews.com By Lee Duigon A reader has challenged me to drop “the Christian argument” against the public schools and find a more broad-based line of reasoning that “will prevail” in the debate. Let me state her major points as clearly as I can. 1. “Those who oppose Christian ideas and views… control all of education.” 2. Most parents, including Christians, are convinced that receiving a public education is “the only way that their children can be successful.” 3. They represent “a huge segment of the population which prefers to keep religion and state totally separate.” 4.…

Christmas in October It’s Christmas in October! Why? Because now is the time to think about Christmas displays in your community for 2011. We want everyone to be aware that it is absolutely legal for the government to include a Nativity or other religious symbols of Christmas in a city holiday display that also includes secular items like snowmen, reindeer or Santa Claus. Where a city opens up a public forum area, like a park, for private displays, religious items must also be permitted. Where appropriate, a Menorah or other religious symbols may also be included. First Christmas Win of the Year The Christian Law Association has already been successful this year i…

I have been reading much on this board about a changed life with salvation. I too believe that there will be a change according to 2 Cor. 5:17, and maybe a few other verses, but I have two observances to make concerning the changed life: one, The Lord makes the change. Too many of us do the changing ourselves because we know that there must be a change. This "change" becomes a work on our part, and not of the Holy Spirit. What good does this sort of change do for us, really? observance two: how great is that change? We too often judge a brother by his "fruit", but all fruit is not visible to us. I know that the Bible says we will know them by their fruit, but jus…

New Burial Method: ‘Liquefaction’ A Glasgow-based company has installed its first commercial “alkaline hydrolysis” unit at a Florida funeral home. The unit by Resomation Ltd is billed as a green alternative to cremation and works by dissolving the body in heated alkaline water. The facility has been installed at the Anderson-McQueen funeral home in St. Petersburg, and will be used for the first time in the coming weeks. It is hoped other units will follow in the US, Canada and Europe. The makers claim the process produces a third less greenhouse gas than cremation, uses a seventh of the energy, and allows for the complete separation of dental amalgam for safe disposa…

October 11, 2011 ON MYSTERY BABYLON The last words of the angel to John, seem to leave no possibility of mistake as to the city. "The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth . . . and the woman which thou sawest is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth." What city was that? There was but one great city, which in John's day reigned aver the kings of the earth. It was ROME; and Rome is the only city which was great then, has been great, in one way or other, ever since, and is so still. And Rome was seated on seven hills, "the seven mountains on which the woman sitteth…

GET THEM OUT October 6, 2011 NewsWithViews.com By Coach Dave Daubenmire What you are seeing on the steps of Wall Street is the counterfeit movement of the Left. It is the latest “youth movement” stirred-up to counter the Establishment. For over two years we have watched the Progressives speak ill of the grandparents who have taken to the streets to fight for liberty in America. “Tea Baggers” is what the Socialist Left has called the gray-hairs who have organized to push-back against an out of control government. “Tea Party Patriots” have drawn the ire of the Liberal Leftists who are concerned that their death-grip on America is in danger of being repelled.

TEACHING IDIOCY October 6, 2011 NewsWithViews.com By Lee Duigon Let’s take another look at public education in America—the greatest system for breeding idiocy that the world has ever known. First we’ll pay another visit to Fort Worth, Texas, where folly may be viewed in microcosm. Last week the Fort Worth school district rescinded the suspension of a 14-year-old honor student for saying “homosexuality is wrong.” The alleged teacher who had him suspended had decorated his classroom with a poster of two men kissing, telling his students that homosexuality is now “the way it is” and they’d “better learn to accept it.” When the boy’s mother showed up with a lawyer, s…

Yessir. Many of my pastor friends who were also friends with my ex BIL have sided with my sister in the divorce because her husband wouldn't do anything outside of the ministry. His income, or lack thereof caused my sister to go into several network marketing companies where she did quite well. He forced her to stop, and once they had moved back to Georgia to be closer to his family, he was overbearing with my sister and the girls ALWAYS attributing everything that happened to THEIR sin, ALWAYS excluding himself. After nearly suffering a nervous breakdown herself my sister kicked him out. He twisted scripture right and left, even in the separation and divorce proceedings pushed ALL of the blame on her. My sister was no angel in all of this, but she didn't endanger her kids health and lives. He did. Their friends, with the exception of one who is in the pastorate, have stated that Steve should not be in the pulpit. I agree. -

The Bible does set standards of dos and don’ts, and who can lead and who cannot lead. it seems to me, I could be wrong that churches today are letting their standards down. Example a couple not having sex before they get married. This Is on the back burner and not enforced like it was one time. This reminds me of the Ronald Reagan days, when he said, don’t ask don’t tell. I believe it was Ron Reagan that said this. -

I struggle with this one a bit. Mainly with regard to those who got married before they were saved. Then, after some years, one or the other gets saved, but the other refuses to accept the gift and continues on in a sinful lifestyle, sometimes even more so just to get under the skin of the newly saved spouse. This happened to my brother. He got saved and his wife threw down the gauntlet. When he then got baptized she went off the deep end. Had he stayed married to her she would not only have destroyed her own life, but his as well. I know 1 Timothy 3 states that Pastors and Deacons should be the husband of one wife, but can someone affirm that doesn't just simply mean 'the husband of one wife', a previous unbiblical marriage not being part of the equation? What do you do with Ezra 10 where it was condoned that people not only put away their wives, but children as well, from marriages that were done outside the will of God? I'm not saying that the prevailing opinion on 1 Timothy 3, that one must never have been divorced to be a pastor or deacon, is wrong; I am just stating that I am not convinced. My brother was never called to either office (rightly so for many other reasons), but I know a few others that if they believed they were called would probably make very good pastors or deacons. Then, what do you do with the man whose only wife is a divorced woman? Is he disqualified? For the deacon 1 Timothy 3:11 states: Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. But no such requirement is listed under the pastor qualifications. And does this verse mean that she cannot be a divorcee? What if her previous husband was very abusive to the point her life (and that of her children) was in danger? Once again, I am not stating that the prevailing IFB stance of no divorce for a pastor or deacon is wrong, I am just stating that I am not fully convinced. -

We have too many pastors out there with strong convictions, but when those convictions apply to themselves, they no longer hold to them. Didn't Jesus in Matthew condemned those who enforced standards on others while not adhering to them themselves?
