Churches and Religion in America

The churches, Christianity, Judaism and religion in general (except Islam) are under attack right now in America… in the world, right now… today!

Yet, the largest church in New York City is Conservative

Dietrich Bonhoeffer… the left loves him!  This is a guy you should know about and a book you should read: Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy  The left is selling him as an man who fell away from his faith, but in reality his faith grew stronger.  This is an important book to read because the author was prompted… called to write it and it fell into Glenn Beck’s hands.

Early in the 20th Century in Germany there was theological liberalism being taught to theologians. (Exactly what is happening in America now).  And the churches allowed themselves to be co-opted, also like what is happening the United States today.  Jim Wallis, Obama’s mentor and Beck hater, is a perfect example of that.  This process is part of the Progressive agenda, just like the distortions about the Constitution and our laws that we are being sold through the teaching of case law instead of Constitutional law!

When you have a nation that considers itself Christian in a very vague and weak way (like the USA) they are very susceptible.

Bonhoeffer was very much in the know from a family with strong connections.  He and his family knew what Hitler was and what was coming. He have a huge anti-Hitler speech 3-days after Hitler came to power.

In the early 1930’s there were still some pastors who thought they could turn the tide.  But Hitler started infiltrating the churches and taking over almost immediately!  Bonhoeffer wrote a paper called the Church and the Jewish Question. He coined the phrase religionless Christianity, which the Progressives have spun into a lie to serve their purpuses.  (There are lessons in the tower of babel that we all must learn and remember.)

Bonhoeffer came to America before he was ordained and was inspired by a friend who was a pastor at the Abyssinian Church in NYC and it changed him.  They were preaching and experience true Christianity rather than what was being taught and preached in Germany.

Every pastor who signed the petition against the infiltration of the churches was decimated and most were killed.

Bonhoeffer was very much like Whitfield her in the early United States.

Bonhoeffer becomes part of the underground, helping smuggle Jews out of Germany.  He leaves and comes to the United States but feels called to return to Germany and fight for his nation, his people, for Christians and Jews.  When he returns to Germany he becomes a spy.

Bonhoeffer began speaking out against Hitler in 1933. He becomes a spy in 1940 and becomes dicey for him.  He was arrested for sneaking 7-Jews out to Switzerland.  After Valkerie, a close assassination attempt on Hitler’s life, Bonhoeffer was moved to a concentration camp where he ultimately died. This man was a hero, and we need heroes in life… especially because of what is ahead of us.  It really is a must read book.  The author feels he was chosen/forces by God to write it, because we need heroes like Bonhoeffer now…

Beck is working on another book… (working title) God’s Blessing and Curse.  He also says it is a book he didn’t want to write but feels called to.

Beck and most patriots feel that God is actively involved in preserving man’s freedom, and in the end he never loses.  But in order to hear him we need to get ride of the stuff… the noise… the distractions.

Why do we always fail in our New Year’s resolutions???  To understand that we need look at the holidays as a trilogy:  Thanksgiving  * Christmas/Hanukkah  *  New Years.

Beck had the pastor of the largest church (a conservative church) in New York City on and one of the original members or new Black Robe Regiment. 

If you church is preaching social justice and collective salvation… time to change churches and get involved in changing the direction of your church!!

Court case in 1972:  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that all beliefs fall into two categories: preference and convictions, and convictions are protected by the Constitution, they are part of who you are.

If you think it isn’t happening in America… that our church and religion(s) aren’t being attacked and infiltrated just look at the consistent war on Christmas and Christianity in the U.S. and on religion all over the world:

BILLBOARD BATTLE: CATHOLICS PUT UP PRO-CHRISTMAS BILLBOARD NEAR ATHEISTS‘ ’REASON’ MESSAGE

Recently, a group called American Atheists purchased a large, anti-Christmas billboard outside the heavily-traveled Lincoln Tunnel between New York and New Jersey. Now, a Catholic group has started a billboard war of sorts by purchasing a pro-Christmas message of its own on the other side of the tunnel.

“You Know It’s Real: This Season Celebrate Jesus,” a billboard for the Catholic League says on the New York side of the tunnel. That’s in response to the American Atheist billboard on the New Jersey side, which says “You Know It’s a Myth: This Season Celebrate Reason.”

“We decided to counterpunch after a donor came forward seeking to challenge the anti-Christmas statement by American Atheists,” Catholic League President Bill Donahue said in a statement on the group’s website. “Our approach is positive, and services the common good. Theirs is negative, and is designed to sow division. It’s what they do.”

“So after Christian motorists have had their sensibilities assaulted as they exit New Jersey, they will experience a sense of joy, and satisfaction, as they enter New York City,” he added. “It’s what we do.”

GOP SENATOR BOYCOTTS HOMETOWN ‘HOLIDAY’ PARADE

When Sen. Jim Inhofe’s (R-OK) hometown parade of lights took the word “Christmas” out of the title, Inhofe had had enough. Now he’s taking something else out of the parade: himself.

Inhofe annually appears in Tulsa, Oklahoma’s parade of lights by riding atop his horse, but said he will not do so again until the name is changed back to the “Christmas Parade of Lights.”

“Last year, the forces of political correctness removed the word ‘Christmas’ and replaced it with ‘Holiday’ instead,”  Inhofe told Tulsa World. “I am deeply saddened and disappointed by this change.”

Mirroring a decision he made last year, the senator said “I‘m not going to ride in a Christmas parade that doesn’t recognize Christmas.” He added, “I am hopeful that the good people of Tulsa and the city’s leadership will demand a correction to this shameful attempt to take Christ, the true reason for our celebration, out of the parade’s title. Until the parade is again named the Christmas Parade of Lights, I will not participate.”

Inhofe served as Tulsa’s mayor from 1978 to 1984. His decision to pull out last year went unannounced so as not to detract from the health care debate.

Inhofe‘s position is in contrast to Tulsa’s current mayor, Dewey Bartlett, who admitted he is in essence being held hostage by political correctness.

“If it was up to me, I’d call it a Christmas parade, but I also understand that we have a diverse community, and I’m sensitive to the importance of the many cultures and traditions that make up our city,” Bartlett said.  Go Here to See Video.

Chase Bank Orders Tree Removed

 

Chase Bank told a businessman to remove the Christmas tree he donated to a local branch because it could offend people.

Antonio Morales, owner of Bellagio Day Spa in Southlake, had assembled and decorated a 9-foot-tall tree in the lobby of the Chase Bank branch at 1700 E. Southlake Boulevard as a favor to the branch manager, who is one of his clients.

The tree remained in the lobby from the Monday before Thanksgiving until Tuesday. Morales said his friend called him Wednesday to tell him the tree had to go. She later showed him an e-mail from JPMorgan Chase saying that the tree had to be removed because some people were offended by it.

PHILLY‘S CHRISTMAS VILLAGE GETS ’HOLIDAY’ MAKEOVER

For the past three years, Philadelphia’s German Christmas Village has hosted festive booths and Christmas tree vendors in Dilworth Plaza located near city hall. But this year, the village’s arched entrance labeled “Christmas Village” will be replaced with “Holiday Village.”

According to local news reports, the request for the change came from Managing Director Richard Negrin. City spokesman Mark McDonald said Negrin made the request after the city received complaints from nearby workers and residents. “As a city of great diversity, one shouldn't‘t be surprised that there’s a difference of views when it comes to symbols and words,” McDonald told the Philadelphia Daily News.

In addition, McDonald said the city is working on an official policy to address such events set up on city property in the future.

The German American Marketing Inc., the company which runs the Christmas Village every year, is reportedly happy to accommodate the city’s request, but noted that brochures and posters would keep the “Christmas” title. “People have to go to public buildings. They shouldn’t feel offended,” the company’s spokesman said. “It’s been very successful the last two years. People like the name. We built it like a German Christmas market. We did not think a lot about it.”

Though the Village is clearly focused on Christmas, the Daily News adds that ornaments and decorations sold at the event are “largely of the secular variety, like elves, Santa’s and colored balls,” interspersed by an occasional nativity scene.

GOD TO RELEASE MEMOIR IN 2011

God is preparing to speak to you in another, hopefully, best-seller. According to publisher Simon and Schuster, the Almighty is looking to follow up his all-time number one book The Bible with a memoir.

But you‘ll never guess who will be God’s (Holy) ghost writer. According to Entertainment Weekly, Jon Stewart’s former* “The Daily Show” head writer and executive producer David Javerbaum will be serving in that capacity.

“God is represented by a burning bush, the Greek letters a and ‡, and, in this case, the Levine Greenberg Literary Agency, the same agency that represents David Javerbaum,” the publisher said in a meant-to-be funny press release.

“We feel like we are the Chosen Publisher,” Simon & Schuster’s Executive Vice President and Publisher Jonathan Karp told Entertainment Weekly. “A lot of writers are creative, but this writer is really creative. And we think He can produce the manuscript quickly: More than seven days, but less than a year.”

The yet-to-be-titled tell-all memoir is due out in 2011.

Great book on Losing Our Religion written by an atheist, S.E. Cupp. (In many ways we are allowing our religion to be stolen from us.) She said she felt she was the perfect person to write this book because she didn’t have a dog in the hunt.
