False Christian teachings, trends….
A coalition led by the American Civil Liberties Union is urging the Biden administration not to ban menthol cigarettes. Such a ban would “have serious racial justice implications” and would “trigger criminal penalties, which will disproportionately impact people of color, as well as prioritize criminalization over public health and harm reduction,” the coalition wrote in a letter this week to Health Secretary Xavier Becerra and acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Janet Woodcock.
…Christopher Stone, director of communications for the National Association for Gun Rights…“None of these executive actions are about crime control or public safety—they’re about controlling U.S. citizens and stripping us of our basic God-given rights,” he said. “Red flag” laws allow authorities to temporarily confiscate guns from certain individuals deemed a risk. While this appears to make sense on the surface, Second Amendment advocates argue it would violate the “innocent until proven guilty” principle. …“Police officers across America know firsthand that the greatest impact on gun crime is holding repeat offenders accountable,” he said. “The current system of a judicial revolving door with little to no repercussions with regard to current gun laws will not improve simply by adding new laws.”
We are now in a crisis of American civilization fully as dangerous and real as the crisis of the U.S. Civil War or World War II. During both those crises, if America had lost, it would have ceased to be America—and the cause of freedom around the world would have been dramatically weakened. …In San Francisco, the declaration by the communist district attorney that theft under $900 will not be prosecuted has led to so much shoplifting that Walgreens is closing all 10 of its drugstores in the city. …Traditional media hostility and dishonesty are overshadowed by the internet giants, who are increasingly acting like Russian oligarchs. They are trying to erase a leader who was supported by more than 75 million Americans with a ruthlessness worthy of Soviet tyranny and the Chinese Communist Party.
Since January, 261 California prison inmates have requested transfers to prisons aligning with their gender identity, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told the Daily Caller News Foundation Tuesday. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed S.B. 132 into law in January, a bill that requires the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to ask every individual entering the department’s custody to specify their pronouns, their gender identity, and whether they identify as transgender, nonbinary, or intersex.
Boghossian is best known for co-authoring a series of satirical papers and publishing them in peer-reviewed academic journals to reveal how likely fake research would be accepted as legitimate scholarship, so long as it fit in the woke narrative. This very woke ideology he has sought to expose, according to Boghossian, has taken over the American cultural and academic institutions. “I don’t think this is a right-left issue in terms of who has taken over our institutions,” Boghossian told The Epoch Times’ Jan Jekielek, when asked about a cultural warfare that is reshaping the American politics and society. “Instead of thinking about in terms of right-left, I think it’s best to think about it in terms of woke.”
Kevin O’Leary said he was “devastated” when he learned his former football coach, David Flynn, had been fired after questioning a seventh-grade history curriculum that labeled white people and America as inherently racist. “Everyone loves Coach, he gets kids to play football,” O’Leary told a local television news reporter in January. “Coach Flynn is an awesome guy, and we’re all devastated that they fired him. Coach Flynn and Dedham football, it’s like broccoli and cheese sauce, can’t have one without the other.”
In the following sermon by Dr. MacArthur, he compares the current state of our nation to that of Israel, as portrayed by Isaiah in chapters 5 and 6 of his prophecy. Dr. MacArthur used many scriptures in his portrayal of nations under judgment by God, including Romans 1; Isaiah 1; 14; 66; Matthew 13; Mark 4; Luke 8; John 12; Acts 28; Psalm 81. In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounced 5 woes for: 1, excessive materialism; 2, for drunken pleasure seeking; 3, for having no knowledge of God; 4, for defiant sinfulness, for blatantly displaying their sins; and 5, the arrogance and conceit of the leaders – they declared evil good and good evil…. His message ultimately stated that there is no hope for our nation, but there is hope of individual salvation, of those elect; believers need to be preaching correctly about the state of affairs in God’s world.
Pastor Mike Stone of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Blackshear, Georgia, believes that it is time to address pressing issues in the largest protestant denomination in the world: The Southern Baptist Convention. In this wide-ranging discussion, Pastor Stone and Sovereign Nations Founder Michael O’Fallon begin by reviewing the Southern Baptist Convention’s 2019 passage of Resolution 9. By contrasting the strategic use of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality in nearly every facet of our society, they explain how these “analytical tools” are applied in practice and how they have undermined the great commission mandate of the SBC.
Allie Beth Stuckey podcast: [from YouTube site] first, we discuss recent comments made by John MacArthur about religious freedom. Is it right to fight for the religious liberty of those who hate you? Then, we briefly address Beth Moore leaving the Southern Baptist Convention. She’s been a controversial figure in the SBC for some time, and it seems they will be parting ways. And, it was disappointing to see elements of critical race theory and other aspects of leftist social justice creeping into IF Gathering, a conference for Christian women.
President Biden just called on Congress to limit gun ownership, citing the Parkland School shootings as the basis of his rationale; a year ago, I covered that topic via several brief videos wherein Andrew Pollack, father of one of the Parkland shooting victims, investigated the matter, discovering that the real cause of the shootings was very lenient disciplinary strategies, imported to the Parkland school from the Chicago school districts by the Obama administration. Mr Pollack has spoken nationally on the matter, he even appeared at the RNC this past October, emphasizing his support for former president Trump because of his policies
