Atheist’s Meeting

OK, so I saw a thing on line for an Atheist’s Meet Up. I wonder what they do there?

Most people get together with people of common interest. Something they all like. Could be church, quilting, sports, whatever. But here is a group of people getting together because of something they are NOT interested in. I tried to imagine their conversation.

“Hey John”
“Sup.”
“I didn’t pray this morning.”
“Me neither.”

“Joe, I heard your aunt has terminal cancer. That’s terrible”
“Yeah.”
“Guess she’s gonna die.”
“Yup.”

“Did you hear I lost my Job?”
“No, what happened?”
“My company closed.”
“Wow! Did your boss pray to Obama for help?”
“Yeah, but he told us he spent all his divine supply on banker’s bonuses and failing car companies. There’s nothing left for the rest of us.”

Then the meeting:
“I call the meeting to order. Joe, would you please not open in prayer.”
“ ”
“Now, down to business. We need to redouble our efforts against the dangerous and non-existent God. We will be going to city hall on Tuesday in our fight to end prayer at city meetings. It is offensive, and sets a bad example for our children to see leaders talking to someone who is not real.

“Wednesday Night is Family Night. We will meet at the Mall and bring our kids to meet Santa.”

OK, so maybe the meeting is a little better than that. But I was thinking I should start a group for people that do not like sports. Our meetings would be great!

“How ‘bout those Cubs”
“Huh?”

We will systematically set out to destroy all sports, starting with football, because it is the most boring. We will try to get laws passed banning football at public schools because we find it offensive. We will spend years getting our candidates into public office, and into administrative positions at schools. Then we will ridicule everyone who disagrees with us and call them unintelligent. Football makes you stupid! The majority of High School bullying is done by jocks! Most scientists do not play football! Then we will make everyone join the chess and AV club just because we say so!

Or, maybe we will just mind our own business and let people play football, and ask others to join them if they want, even on public property.

As the thief is shamed when he is caught,
So is the house of America ashamed;
They, their politicians, their professors, and their pundits,

Who say to a Obama, “You are my father,”
And to Communism, “You gave me birth.”
For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face.
But in the time of their trouble
They will say, “Arise and save us.”
But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves?
Let them arise,
If they can save you in the time of your trouble;
For as many as your cities
Are your gods, O America.

Jeremiah 2:26-28

The Resurrection of Jesus

By Mark Elkins

2000 years ago, several men hung dying on crude wooden structures, experiencing one of history’s most gruesome and torturous methods of execution.

At least two other men hung beside Jesus of Nazareth, the adopted son of Joseph the carpenter. Of the three men, one claimed to be the Son of God, the long awaited Messiah promised to the Hebrew people. The other two were admitted criminals.

The Spirit of Antichrist

By Mark Elkins

… even now many antichrists have come,
by which we know that it is the last hour.
1 John 2:18

… and that no one may buy or sell except one who has
the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:17

Tyndale House publishes bibles, along with other Christian materials. It is a highly profitable company owned by a non-profit foundation, through which around 95% of it’s profits are given away.

Despite being owned by a Christian non-profit, and selling only Christian “religious” materials, the Obama Administration has ruled that Tyndale House is “insufficiently religious” to be exempted from providing abortion drug coverage to it’s employees. According to Tyndale legal counsel Matt Bowman “ObamaCare demands that Americans choose between two poison pills: either desert your faith by complying, or resist and be punished.”

Other employers are facing a similarly difficult questions. “Do I violate my deeply held religious beliefs, or do I stand up and face the consequences?” For Tyndale house, the consequences can be very high, about 1.3 million dollars high, and climbing, the longer they stay in non-compliance. Tyndale president Mark Taylor said on Moody radio that the fines could be enough to bankrupt the company.

Like Tyndale, all Christian employers now stand at a crossroad. Do we do what the world requires and stay in business, or do we follow Christ and risk leading our companies into financial ruin?

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,  and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

Reflections of the Demonic

The young demon took his seat in the back row of the meeting place. It was the first time since being banished to the earth that he had been allowed to visit the second heaven. He was young by demon reckoning. Of course he was about as old in “years” as any demon there, but he had not progressed in hatred as quickly as the “older” spirits, so no one considered him very important. Therefore he was “younger”.

But now things had changed. His Island in the South Pacific Ocean had finally become inhabited about 4000 years ago. He had done a good job at setting himself up as the local deity.¹. Principalities and Powers in the Heavenlies had taken notice and now here he was, at a major Powers planning meeting, ready to help decide the next course of action to take against earth.

Pastor Fired Over Dispute About Hell

Chad Holtz,  Pastor of Marrow’s Chapel, in North Carolina lost his job because he does not believe in Hell.  (He read Love Wins, a book by Rob Bell that discounts the existence of Hell, and he decided he agrees.) So he’s a pastor. Does that mean he checks his brain at the door? I know, all through Christian history people have believed in Hell. But come on! It’s the twenty first century! No one believes in Hell any more! God sending us to Hell would be abuse of power!
