False Christian teachings, trends….
This post contains an article from Religious News Service about United Methodist Churches that are disaffiliating over issues related to the LGBTQ movement. The purpose of the post is to keep readers informed on current events impacting the church amid the culture wars in America. Many churches have compromised by turning from biblical practices and values to worldly ones….
The Western church presently lives in a time of much sexual confusion. Rev. Christopher Gordon has produced a helpful tool to assist Christians in becoming well-grounded in the biblical teaching on human sexuality. The New Reformation Catechism on Human Sexuality uses the time-tested method of catechesis to teach essential truths from God’s Word regarding sexual issues. The editors of Tabletalk interviewed Rev. Gordon shortly after the catechism was produced, as we believe it is a good tool for Christians to use as they endeavor to obey God’s Word.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is defending his decision to cut funding for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA), pointing to the “problematic” sexual content broadcasted that targeted children. Last week, Stitt, a Republican, vetoed a bill that sought to extend funding for OETA—the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member station for Oklahoma—through 2026. …OETA broadcasted a segment called “Let’s Learn” that involved reading a children’s book that talks about drag queens. A “PBS Newshour” feature talked about parents’ support for various gender treatments for minors including puberty blockers, and a program on PBS Kids had a same-sex wedding while another included LGBT characters. …“Their ‘LGBTQ+Identity Kit’ is clearly a partisan effort to brainwash teachers and students, sowing seeds of division and hatred in an environment that should seek to protect our children, not use them as political pawns,” said CDF Chief Communications Officer Kristen Huber.
This post contains a 13-minute video about the following: In a shocking development, the European Union just released a new policy document which officially earmarked $1.5 billion euros, in order to start the process of buying out the land from Dutch farmers. But it gets even stranger, because within the policy document, it states that any farmer who sells their farm to the government in the Netherlands is no longer allowed to farm anywhere within the European Union. [The last post in this blog: “Ex-Pfizer VP Warns of Ongoing ‘Global’ Conspiracy….” is addressing a different aspect of the global conspiracy; but he did mention famine, and that will certainly be created by such governmental measures as are covered in this post.]
This post contains a 3-minute Twitter video with the following caption: BREAKING: Former VP at Pfizer, Dr. Mike Yeadon, says there is a plan to kill millions, if not billions of people. [In the video, he speaks about the aims of the globalists and encourages individuals to stand against their efforts; Curtis Bowers, of Agenda Weekly and others have similar suspicions about the globalist’s agenda]
Researchers from Tulane University, Louisiana, measured 25 different toxic metals and trace elements in 60 soft beverages, including single fruit juice, mixed fruit juice, plant-based milk, artificial soda, and tea. The drinks were purchased in New Orleans and are commercially available in supermarkets across the United States. … Two mixed juices had levels of arsenic above the 10 microgram/liter standard. Meanwhile, a cranberry juice, a mixed carrot and fruit juice, and an oat milk each had levels of cadmium exceeding the three parts per billion standard. … Overall, mixed fruit juices and plant-based milks, including oat and almond milk, contained higher levels of toxic metals than other drinks analyzed in the study, researchers said.
…The image of a young woman dressed for all the world like a Hamas terrorist while gunning down three innocent young children and their caretakers keeps replaying in my head. That horrific crime is still shrouded in mystery, despite endless protestations from incompetent and largely cowardly public officials and police that all will be revealed soon—in redacted form, of course. …There’s something bigger going on here than just what happened in Nashville on March 27—and that certainly was bad enough. …No, this isn’t about gun control, although opponents of the Second Amendment have jumped in on it. It’s about something yet more cataclysmic. The transgender movement’s deepest intention is the death of the family. Nothing stands in stronger opposition to the growth of American and global communism….
The old cultural imperialism was supposedly greedy corporatism like Disneyland, McDonald’s, and Starbucks sprouting up worldwide to supplant local competitors. But these businesses spread because they appealed to free-will consumer demand abroad. They were not imposed top down. …Yet, in our skedaddle [from Afghanistan], the LGBTQ flag still flew high from our new Kabul embassy. A George Floyd mural was prominent on city streets. And gender studies programs—to the tune of $787 million in American subsidies—were showcased at Kabul University, in one of the most conservative Islamic countries in the world. Rainbow flags and Black Lives Matter banners have hung from our embassy in South Korea. Such partisan cultural activism is a diplomatic first. The woke Left has now weaponized the country’s diplomatic missions abroad to advance highly partisan and controversial agendas that can offend their hosts, and do not represent the majority of American voters at home….
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee on May 3 subpoenaed the FBI for a file alleging that a whistleblower linked President Joe Biden to a “criminal scheme” that involved money for policy decisions while he was the vice president. “We have received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures,” Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Senate Budget Committee ranking GOP member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray in a letter dated (pdf) on May 3.
