On one of the UNIVERSE DVDs from History Channel is this one science guy who is trying to build a "time machine" to either go back in history or go forward in history. He lost his father at age ten. It bothered him emotionally and as an adult wanted to investigate time travel.....wanting to see his father again. Just about no serious science department anywhere would give the time of day (pun intended) and money to try and build such a machine. So he decided to study "black holes" and in his spare time keep working on a time machine.
With stuff that the fuzzy headed Einstein had come up with about space and time, this guy figures it is possible.
Well whether or not Einstein actually believed time travel was a possibility or not, let me say right off the bat, SUCH IS NOT POSSIBLE!!! If Einstein thought it was then he like this guy was "out to lunch" "off the wall" and was blind to the actual facts of this physical life. They say that Einstein did not want to believe in the "big bang" start of the universe, he wanted to believe the universe always was. Yes, believing in the big bang start of the universe means at one time there was no physical universe, and a start to it is pretty close, probably too close for Einstein, in a God that started the physical universe.
Now this fellow trying to build a time machine admits the machine is only good from the day it is started up, i.e. he starts it today January 1st 2013 and say in one hundred years some could climb aboard and go back to January 1st 2013, but would not be able to go back any further as the machine did not start up until January 1st 2013. He did not mention how it worked in going forward.
Wellll......the guy is loopy and cooky and in a mental insane mind-set if he thinks he can build a time machine.
YOU CANNOT GO BACK IN TIME NOR FORWARD IN TIME. WE ONLY HAVE THE PRESENT TIME, THE TIME WE LIVE IN AT THIS MINUTE AND SECOND.
To think we can go back in time is a stupid idea built upon a blinded mind to truth.
To think that we could ever go back in time would mean all present things, people and etc. have a kind of copy world where everything has a permanent copy of everything - a duplicate that keeps on going, living, in a circle type of world.
The idea of time travel has to, for the past, believe in a type of immortal soul for everything, people, plants, trees, animals and etc. I mean you would hardly want to go back to a person with nothing being there but the person - well I guess some would be happy just for that. But anyway, the truth is humans do not have an immortal soul or a copy duplicate of themselves that kinda just keep alive and going in circles, so someone someday can invent a time machine, and come back to them.
Now humans do have a "spirit" and that spirit does go back to God at death - Ecc.12. But that spirit does not live, as talking, walking, reasoning, thinking, by itself without a body. Proof....simple, you loose an arm the spirit in man does not keep that lost arm going, so you really did not loose that arm.
The Bible reveals that when you die, you die, you do not continue to think, reason, talk, walk, run, work on your computer, look at your facebook, or tweet things. Yes your spirit does go back to God who gave it to you. Your spirit is like a cassette or CD that has recorded YOU, your character, all that makes you you.....personality and etc. The Bible teaches a RESURRECTION from the dead. A time when you will come to life once more and have again your spirit within you. BOTH .... your body and your spirit are one again, and you again LIVE!
ALL THIS BIBLE TRUTH IS EXPLAINED ON MY WEBSITE WITH MANY STUDIES, UNDER "DEATH AND RESURRECTION." ONE IN-DEPTH STUDY IS CALLED "DEATH - THEN WHAT?"
It is also impossible to time travel FORWARD into the future, for the future has not yet come.
Now God can say something in the future will happen, but He has the power to make it happen. But for us to ever think we can go forward in time JUST AIN'T SO!! FOR TOMORROW HAS NOT YET COME!! IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE, AND FOR ANY PERSON, EINSTEIN INCLUDED, TO THINK OTHERWISE, IS TO BE THINKING WITH A MENTAL DISABILITY - A BLINDED MIND.
THE TRUTH IS THE PAST IS THE PAST - IT IS GONE - IT IS HISTORY. IT CAN NEVER BE UNDONE, OR GONE BACK INTO, TO MEET ANYONE OR TO CHANGE THE PAST. THE FUTURE ALSO WE CANNOT GO INTO AND MEET THE CHILDREN OF OUR CHILDREN OF THEIR CHILDREN. WE CAN MEET WHOM WE MEET IN THIS LIFE TIME AND NO MORE.
THE HOPE OF THE CHRISTIAN IS THE RESURRECTION, THE APOSTLE PAUL MADE THAT VERY CLEAR IN THE 15TH CHAPTER OF 1 CORINTHIANS.
THE HOPE FOR THE WORLD AT LARGE IS A RESURRECTION - SEE MY STUDY CALLED "THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT" ON MY WEBSITE.
THE TIME YOU TRAVEL IS NOW IN THE PRESENT.
ARE YOU USING IT WISELY? I PRAY YOU ARE.

God's way the best!!
ARE YOU READING OR LISTENING TO ALL THIS FISCAL CLIFF STUFF?
ARE YOU INFORMED ABOUT HOW MUCH THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TAKE FROM THE "RICH" - MANY OF THE NOT RICH MAY SAY WELL THEY CAN AFFORD IT.
BUT COMPARE THIS WAY OF MAN TO GOD'S WAY AND THERE IS NO COMPARISON - NOT EVEN CLOSE.
GOD'S TAXATION FOR HIS PEOPLE WAS AND IS 10 PERCENT - YES I SAID TEN PERCENT!!!
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF YOU ARE RICH - GOD'S WAY WAS 10 PERCENT.
YES OKAY HE DID HAVE ANOTHER LAW IN ISRAEL FOR THE POOR, THE WIDOW, THE ORPHAN. BUT IT ONLY CAME INTO EFFECT TWICE IN 7 YEAR CYCLE - THE THIRD YEAR AND THE SIXTH YEAR. IT WAS ANOTHER 10 PERCENT IN THOSE YEARS. ISAREL'S WELFARE SYSTEM.
SO FIGURE IT OUT. SPREAD THAT ADDITIONAL 10 PERCENT OVER EVERY YEAR OF YOUR ADULT TAX PAYING LIFE, AND IT STILL COMES TO WAY LESS THAN MAN MADE SYSTEMS OF THE WESTERN WORLD.
WE AS NATIONS HAVE THROWN GOD AND THE BIBLE OUT THE WINDOW ONTO THE TRASH HEEP, SO WE MUDDLE ALONG, HAVE POLITICAL PARTIES THAT CANNOT AGREE WITH EACH OTHER, FIGHT EACH OTHER EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, AND BRING ALL KINDS OF EVIL UPON US, IN OUR PHYSICAL LIFE. OUR WAY OF PRODUCING PHYSICAL FOODS IN THE WESTERN WORLD, ALL THE JUNK FOODS AND DRINKS, ALL THE WRONG WAYS OF EATING AND ETC. HAVE BROUGHT AN EVER OVER-WEIGHT POPULATION AND COSTS TO THE HEALTH SYSTEM THAT ARE SKY-ROCKETING.
WELLLLL.......THAT IS JUST TWO THINGS I'VE MENTIONED AS TO WHY WE ARE IN THE MESS WE ARE IN. THE EVER INCREASING MESS IS THE END RESULT OF TURNING OUR BACKS ON GOD AND HIS INSPIRED WORD.
WE TRULY DO REAP WHAT WE SOW!

US....from exploding stars??
Going through the DVDs on the universe by History Channel. The evolution universe-ism guys and gals have this idea that WE the human race came about because of super-nova exploding stars.
They say the "iron" and whatever other elements come from exploding stars came to earth at some point in past time, and so the seeds of what we are began to be planted on earth.
These elements came into the sea, and so algae and then slowly up from there came the sea creatures, with some of them slowly moving onto the land, and slowly the ape, and eventually mankind.
The whole idea is laughable if it was not given as very serious by them; I mean they REALLY DO believe it
They have become so darkened in their mind they have lost all logical reasoning power ..... they are fruit-nut cases, that belong in the mental hospital.
NOW I'm going to get VERY plain and up front to show you how STUPID these scientists of evolution universe-ism are.
They base things on a slow evolution.
NOW WHY would an evolution give to women a CLITORIS as part of her sex organ. The clitoris is a pleasure button to put it in frank terms. It is not needed for reproduction at all. There is no reason that evolution should ever have evolved it. It blows my mind that evolution people could believe in evolution. Why on earth would evolution evolve a clitoris in a woman's sexual organ. It is not needed for reproduction.
NO! It was the creator God of the universe who INVENTED the female "clitoris" as part of her sexual organ, and it was given purely for PLEASURE. God is not against pleasure. He invented and gave human kind many physical types of pleasure. We are the only ones who can cry, laugh, feel emotions in a much deeper way than animals; sure the dog likes its tummy rubbed and your friendship......but there is no animal that has the extent of emotions as does the human family.
So again I say the fact of women having a clitoris is a proof that their is a God. I bet many, most of you, have never had that proof given as an example that there is a God. But think about it, there is no reason for women have a clitoris, except a God created it to give women physical pleasure in sex.
Yes God invented sex. And part of that invention was for more than just reproduction per se.....it was also for pure pleasure.
Think about it.....two sexes, not three, or four or more. One way to reproduce, not two ways or three ways, as evolution or mutation (as evolutionists want to use at times) could have evolved. We did not evolve or mutate to three arms and hands or four legs, or eyes on the side of our head like the horse. We humans are the same (speaking of course in the normal way and not when things go not normal in reproduction) - makes no difference your color, your race, your height - we all have two arms and two legs, eyes are two not three and face forward. And all women have a clitoris for pure pleasure in sex.
ALL THIS PROVES THERE IS A GOD WHO CREATED US JUST AS THE INSPIRED SCRIPTURES FROM THAT GOD TELL US.

Mystery Babylon spreads!!
If you go to MSN.com you will see the latest place on earth to officially celebrate the pagan Roman "new year"
IT WAS PROPHESIED LONG AGO IN THE BOOK OF RELELATION THAT THE BABYLON WHORE - MYSTERY RELIGION - THE PAPACY WHO ALSO GAVE BIRTH TO DAUGHTERS (GUESS WHO THEY ARE - SHOULD BE PRETTY OBVIOUS) WOULD MAKE ALL NATIONS DRUNK ON THE WINE OF HER SPIRITUAL FORNICATION.
SHE WOULD BRING IN ALL KINDS OF RELIGIOUS MYSTERIES FROM BABYLON AND HENCE THROUGH ROME.
ONE OF THOSE MYSTERIES WAS THE ROMAN CALENDAR WITH THE SUN WORSHIP OF THE NEW YEAR BEGINNING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER; FOR IT WAS THE TIME WHEN THE SUN WAS BEGINNING AGAIN TO BE LONGER IN THE SKY DURING THE DAY. IT WAS ALL BASED ON SUN WORSHIP.
GOD GAVE HIS CALENDAR TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL - AND THE NEW YEAR BEGAN IN THE LOGICAL TIME OF SPRING - NEW THINGS COMING TO LIFE ONCE MORE. THERE WAS ALSO A CIVIL OR AGRICULTURAL YEAR IN ISRAEL - THE FALL. BUT EITHER BEGAN IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.
THE CALENDAR QUESTION IS COVERED IN FULL DETAIL ON MY WEBSITE.
IT HAS TAKEN MANY CENTURIES FOR THE ROMAN CHURCH TO BRAND ITS THEOLOGY OF CHANGING DAYS AND TIMES AS FORETOLD IN DANIEL, BUT IT HAS DONE IT AND IS INDEED CONTINUING TO DO IT.
SHE CHANGED THE WEEKLY SABBATH DAY FROM THE 7TH DAY TO THE 1ST DAY. SHE HAS CHANGED ALL OF GOD'S FESTIVALS (EXCEPT PENTECOST) TO PAGAN FEASTS FROM BABYLON AND ROME.
ALL THIS TRUTH IS EXPOUNDED FOR YOU IN DETAIL ON MY WEBSITE.
SO TODAY ONE MORE AREA OF THE WORLD HAS MOVED INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE ROMAN YEAR WITH PUBLIC CELERATIONS - FIREWORKS AND THE LIKE.

LESSONS from the horse!
Today, Sunday the 30th of December I bought a horse calendar for 2013.
As a horse lover and owner, of course horses are dear to me.
This calendar of the horse is a little different than other horse calendars; it gives a lesson from horses.
So sit back, think of the mighty horse, from the work horse to the cowboy horse, to the jumping horse, to the dressage horse, to the race horse.....whichever horse comes to your mind, think on the horse, that God created for us humans to help us in so many ways, and to just give us pleasure in riding.
JANUARY
Two horses looking over their box-stall doors at each other, noses touching:
"If your kind, it will show in your eyes."
FEBRUARY
Two horses running side by side out in the field:
"Kick up your heels now and then."
MARCH
A horse with head held up, ears forward, tail lifted up, and one front leg off the ground:
"Life has its majestic moments."
APRIL
Two large powerful harness horses out doing the farm work:
"Put your natural abilities to good use."
MAY
Three horses, different colors, together in the pasture:
"Friendship transcends differences."
JUNE
A horse with its nose close to the cat whose up on the fence rail:
"Companionship may be found in unexpected places."
JULY
A horse having a wonderful time splashing in the water:
"Relish your independence."
AUGUST
Two beautiful palomino horses with lovely white manes and forelocks, heads together in kindness:
"It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart."
SEPTEMBER
A horse with wide eyes enjoying the field flowers:
"Cherish the simple things in life."
OCTOBER
One horse with its head over another horse's neck:
"Stay close to your friend."
NOVEMBER
A young horse with its two front legs over its mother's neck:
"Good things come in small packages."
DECEMBER
A herd of horses on the run:
"Blaze new trails."
AH YES SOME REAL FINE LESSONS FROM THE HORSE

Super Nova....blast....VIOLENT UNIVERSE!
Finished watching another episode of THE UNIVERSE put out by the "History Channel"
This one was on "Super Nova" blasts -- when stars EXPLODE!!
One was seen way back in the 15th century, of course it happened before then as the light would take ex years going at the speed of light to reach earth.
Well they say there is ONE star a SECOND somewhere in the universe that explodes.
It is the circle of death to life star making as it all goes around.
The universe is a veritable WILD place we might say. The explosion of stars, the unbelievable sizes of stars and planets, the moving and shaking, the storms on some planets that just blow you away (literally for sure), the depth of ice into the miles on other moons or planets. And on it goes, so much that is massive and glorious and powerful .... BILLIONS of stars, planets, moons, just in some ONE galaxy, and they say there are BILLIONS of galaxies. Then the universe is expanding all the time, the outer, further away edges going faster and not slowing down.
Back to the .... what we may call VIOLENT universe, unless you want to argue it is God's way of showing His POWER, to keep us humble. Well.....I'm going to go with "violent" for a moment and give you some of my thoughts.
I wonder if from the beginning after " the big bang" and start of the universe, that originally the moving universe was NOT violent.
God created the angels.....all righteous, no sin in any of them. All was right and good and peaceful, and so maybe was the universe. Created for the Godhead and angels to enjoy, explore, have fun with.
God created spirit animals, the spirit horse, probably just to enjoy. I mean it is fun to ride a horse. God had in mind before the foundation of this earth, to make this earth, to make mankind on it to become part of His family in the end. I think many things we have on this earth in the physical was patterned after the spiritual in the God realm of life.
Well somewhere in past time, the Bible tells us that one of the greatest arch angels, who was given authority over this earth......he wanted God's job, he wanted the Godhead for himself; he rebelled and persuaded 1/3 - yes one third of the angels to rebel with him. The Bible tells us there was WAR in heaven between this now evil spirit leader and his angels (called now demons) and God's righteous angels.
This could well have been a UNIVERSE WAR..... covering the entire universe. Power was unleashed that the human mind cannot come close to comprehending.
Was it at this time that such destruction and power exhibited, was it at this time, that the VIOLENCE of the universe came into being? I do not mean the death and birth of stars, that may well have been the creation of God, to have it that way, a physical renewing of the physical. But some of the violent stuff out there in the universe.....the way some planets are, the millions of rocks, meteorites going through the universe, smashing here and there into other moons and planets. The violent storms on some of the planets, that are hard to comprehend in power. The heat or the cold that is mind-blowing on other planets; the desolation on others.......well could all of this what we could call violent part of the universe, have come about from that heavenly WAR? And maybe God just left it so....to continue as I said what we might call in a "violent state."
Maybe it is left this way, to show and remind us who live in the "more revealed" physical world, most of the population on earth has been in the last 2 or 3 hundred years, when knowledge has been increased, especially about the universe. God is perhaps showing us the result of rebellion and war and going against His holy righteous laws and way of life. We see that way of sin on the earth today within the nations and all the bad results it brings. So could it be we also have the witness of the violent part of the universe, that came about when the one now known as the Devil tried to take over headship of the universe.
Could it be that in due time as God will bring in a new beautiful age to come for this earth, that in due time also, the universe will be restored to peace and harmony and beauty?
I think so! Even as a spirit being in the Kingdom of God, why would you want a moon anywhere in the universe that is ugly? Why would you even as a spirit being where storms of any kind and magnitude cannot effect you, why would you like to go to some planet that is filled with wild carzy storms.
Yes I think God has a mighty plan for the entire universe when there is no more death, no more sin, but only peace and righteousness.
YES I THINK THERE IS TO BE A RESTITUTION OF THINGS ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE. AND THERE WILL ONLY BE BEAUTY AND HARMONY AND PEACE. MAYBE GOD WILL HAVE US, WHEN PART OF HIS FAMILY, HELP HIM TO RE-SHAPE AND BEAUTIFY THE UNIVERSE AS IT ONCE UPON A TIME WAS.

Les Miserables movie
I have no clue how they say the name of this movie just released.
It is a "musical" but the type that is singing the words, not much actual talking at all.
This kind of musical has of course been around for decades, and I'm sure "Les Miserables" is famous among that type of musical, though I've never seen it before.
It is not my "type" of musical per se ..... the singing talk musical. I'm a lover of musicals like "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" - "South Pacific" - "Mary Poppins" - "The Sound of Music" and Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, and the like.
But I must say Les Miserables did catch by interest.
It is a dark (literally and in figure of speech) set in France in the first part of the 1800s.
It is sad, brutal, painful, and yet inspiring and filled with love also.
It is a Hollywood production and I must say it is indeed SUPERBLY done......with well known people of Hollywood fame who I did not know could SING!
I cannot imagine ANYONE ANYWHERE doing a better job - it is truly MASTERFUL.
The actors for every part, each individual, do a FANTASTIC job, truly GREAT!
The ability of some actors can be just out of this world at times, a true gift that some have, yes I know many go to "acting school" but the bottom line is you still have to put it together yourself when the rubber hits the road.
So just to see the ability and talent of some, it is worth seeing this movie, even if you like me are not a fan of "singing talk" musicals.

It is not my "type" of musical per se ..... the singing talk musical. I'm a lover of musicals like "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" - "South Pacific" - "Mary Poppins" - "The Sound of Music" and Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, and the like.
But I must say Les Miserables did catch by interest.
It is a dark (literally and in figure of speech) set in France in the first part of the 1800s.
It is sad, brutal, painful, and yet inspiring and filled with love also.
It is a Hollywood production and I must say it is indeed SUPERBLY done......with well known people of Hollywood fame who I did not know could SING!
I cannot imagine ANYONE ANYWHERE doing a better job - it is truly MASTERFUL.
The actors for every part, each individual, do a FANTASTIC job, truly GREAT!
The ability of some actors can be just out of this world at times, a true gift that some have, yes I know many go to "acting school" but the bottom line is you still have to put it together yourself when the rubber hits the road.
So just to see the ability and talent of some, it is worth seeing this movie, even if you like me are not a fan of "singing talk" musicals.
..........
Time to view.....
Being here visiting my Dad gives me time to view some great DVDs I have on the UNIVERSE.
There is only so much I can do with my Dad during the winter, so I have many hours to "watch up" on some things I need to catch up on.
The set of DVDs on the Universe (this set for I have another set also) are from the evolution point of mind-set; all the people speaking are obviously not Christians, do not believe in a God or the Bible in any way.
So they claim (give science to back it up) that there is "dark matter" - a kind of "hallo" around each galaxy out there, and I'm not against such a thought, or fact as they would put it. Could very well be true. Then they say about 75 percent of the universe is "dark power" - it is the force (and they admit they do not understand it) that drives the galaxies outward away from each other, making ever more "space" or an ever expanding universe.
They are correct on this, only that power is the very Holy Spirit of God who is doing all this through His dark unseen power, dark in the sense we do not see it.,
What has also shocked the evolution universe scientists is that the far out galaxies are moving away FASTER, not slowing down but actually moving faster away every day, so hence more dark space is being created.
Then they say the galaxies themselves are not expanding. Then go on to say a rather silly idea; with the expanding universe and more space between the galaxies things will get colder, and the universe could end in a frozen mass. A silly idea as the galaxies themselves with "suns" are not expanding, so the suns will keep the galaxies as they are.
Of course without God in the picture they think all kinds of ideas that are blown away when you put a God in the equation. The universe will not freeze to death, nor blow itself up to death, nor re-shrink itself back to nothing. Interesting these evolution scientists fully believe the universe was NOT at one time, and did come into existence with a big bang as they now believe. And that could be true, the Bible does not tell us how God brought the universe into being or how all the galaxies came to be or the putting together of the planets and stars, or even the making of this earth. I've covered the truth of Genesis chapter one in other studies on my website.
You have evolution scientists that have been broadcasting - yes radio broadcasts - to the universe since the 1960s. There is even one radio station from scientists that is a radio station broadcasting each day to the universe, to anyone whom they are pretty sure are out there somewhere.
They say the universe is 12 to 14 BILLIONS years old - and I have no argument with that, could well be. The Bible has no argument with that either. They say the earth could be 3 or 4 Billion years old, and that could well be so, the Bible does not say how long this physical earth has been in existence. Those of you who have the wrong idea of Genesis one, need to see my studies on it all on my website.
The evolutionist scientists really have no idea (from their own words) how physical matter (like in stones and dirt etc.) moved or jumped into living organisms and so eventually human kind.
It really bothers them that so far in their last 100 years they cannot find ANY life out there, away from our earth. They went to the moon, brought back dirt; they have gone to Mars, brought back dirt, and they cannot find even micro life. They are scratching their heads, saying some galaxies are way way older - billons of years older than earth, and so should be life out there way more advanced than ours, yet SILENCE..... no radio waves, no nothing of this life trying to find other life, as we are trying to contact other life.
They really believe there is other organic life out there somewhere, but are frustrated and scratch their heads that this much older life is not trying to contact us; as they would say we on earth are the new kid on the block.
And so go the evolution scientists. They do NOT want to believe in a GOD, for in so doing they would then have to believe that God has the power to write down His word to us, inspire Hid word, and so tell us how to live, what is sin, what is righteousness, what is truth, what is falsehood and lies and deception. The evolution scientists want like all who reject the thought of a God, to live according to their ideas, their ways, and not to be told they are living wrong, need to repent, and get in harmony with the laws and commandments of the Eternal God of this universe.
The created things, the universe, PROVES there is a God who at one time brought it into being, the physical out of the no-physical, matter out of no-matter. And yes the dark power that is at least according to evolution scientists, 75 percent of the universe, the very Spirit of that God, that upholds the universe, makes the universe larger each day.
Prophecy also proves there is a God, and that prophecy of the Bible, shows the universe will not end, it may change in various ways according to the will of God, but it will be here forever, for His children to enjoy and explore, as His will may be after His will for this earth and mankind upon it is fulfilled.
YOU WERE CREATED FOR A GREAT PURPOSE!! YOU NEED TO COME TO KNOW THAT PURPOSE. YOU NEED TO STUDY MY STUDY ON MY WEBSITE CALLED "A CHRISTIAN'S DESTINY."

Time to RESTORE!
I HAVE COMMENTED ON THIS ON MY WEBSITE, BUT I NEED TO AGAIN DO IT ON MY BLOG.
IT IS TIME TO RESTORE SOMETHING MISSING FROM MOST SABBATH OBSERVING CHURCHES OF GOD..... AND THAT IS THE SINGING OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS.....YES YOU SAW IT CORRECT WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN -- IT IS RIGHT AND PROPER TO SING AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUAL SONGS CONCERNING THE BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOR INTO HUMAN FLESH.
WE SING ABOUT HIS LIFE, HIS TEACHINGS, HIS DEATH, HIS RESURRECTION, HIS GLORY, HIS KINGDOM, HIS COMING AGAIN, AND ETC. BUT MOST SABBATH KEEPING CHURCHES OF GOD REFUSE TO SING ABOUT HIS BIRTH.
THIS IS A SHAME AND IS FALSE TEACHING.
GOD THE FATHER DID NOT IGNORE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BIRTH OF IMMANUEL - GOD WITH US. AND NOR SHOULD WE!!
LET'S LOOK AT AN EXAMPLE:
O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years.
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep and angels keep,
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together,
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given,
So God imparts to human hearts,
The blessings of heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
THE THIRD VERSE WE WOULD LEAVE OUT,
BUT THERE IS BEAUTY IN THE VERSES I'VE QUOTED.
TRUTH AND BEAUTY INDEED.
AND SO IT IS WITH MANY OTHER SPIRITUAL SONGS WRITTEN TO REMEMBER JESUS WAS BORN - IMMANUEL - GOD WITH US DID COME AS A HUMAN BABE.
HE WAS WILLING TO GIVE UP BEING A PART OF THE GODHEAD, GAVE UP GLORY AND IMMORTALITY, TO BE BORN HUMAN. TO BE FIRST A BABE, THEN A CHILD, THEN A TEENAGER, THEN AN ADULT. THEN TO PROCLAIM THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND TO BRING IN THE NEW COVENANT. THEN TO DIE FOR YOUR SINS AND MY SINS. THEN TO BE RESURRECTED TO GLORY AND THE GODHEAD ONCE MORE. THEN TO BE OUR HIGH PRIEST. THEN TO COME AGAIN AND RULE THE WORLD AS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
WE SING ABOUT ALL OF THIS IN OUR SPIRITUAL SONGS. SO IT IS RIGHT AND PROPER WE ALSO SING ABOUT HIS BIRTH..
Silent night, holy night, all is calm all is bright;
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night, all is calm all is bright,
Shepherds hear the angels sing,
Al-le-lu-ia hail the King,
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, holy night, Son of God, lend thy light,
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus Lord, at thy birth.
Silent night, holy night, Wondrous star, lend thy light,
With the angels let us sing,
Al-le-lu-ia to our King,
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.
WONDERFUL WORDS, AND WONDERFUL MUSIC GOES WITH IT.
IT'S TIME TO THROW OFF THE SHACKLES OF WRONG CULTISH
TEACHING THAT SUCH SINGING ABOUT THE SAVIOR'S BIRTH IS
WRONG. IT IS NOT!! IT IS TIME THIS TRUTH WAS RESTORED TO
THE SABBATH OBSERVING CHURCHES OF GOD.
AS JESUS SAID YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH
SHALL MAY YOU FREE!!!
NOW ON THIS POINT YOU ARE FREE FROM THE WRONG IDEAS
OF MEN WHO HAVE FOR FAR TOO LONG HIDDEN THIS TRUTH
FROM YOU.
NOW YOU ARE FREE TO SING ABOUT THE GLORIOUS, WONDERFUL,
BIRTH OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS THE CHRIST.

COURAGEOUS.....with Truth!!
JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE MOVIE "COURAGEOUS - Honor Begins At Home" - the same group did "FIREPROOF" - a very fine movie indeed, and so is COURAGEOUS. It is a Christian group that make the movies, hence a Bible based background that becomes the for-ground, with many life lessons along the way.
We read on the back cover of "Courageous" ---
"As law enforcement officers, Adam Michell, Nathan Hayes and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer, yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge none of them are truly prepared to tackle. While they consistently give their best on the job, they quickly discover that their children are beginning to drift further away from them. When tragedy hits home, these men are left with a new found urgency to renew their faith and reach out to their own children. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those who are most dear to them?"
The acting is superb....no Hollywood stars, but none of them could have done better anyway, than the people in those two great Christian movies mentioned above.
BOTH movies need to be in the movie library of every Christian family.
NOW talking about "courageous" - we all need to be, courageous when truth hits you between the eyes, to admit it. We can at times get a little slow in seeing truth, and I'm not exempt.
My son Ty and his wife Mary-Lou (oh Ty is his name, it is not short for anything; he was named after Ty Cobb the baseball player.....I remembered the guy and when it came to name this son, I said well why not TY, not many have that name) have been with me here in Kelowna, visiting my Dad. One evening the three of us got talking about movies. One thing led to another and I said, "Have you seen the movie 'The Hunger Games'?" Ty answered saying, "No, we did not want to see kids killing kids."
WOW, it hit me between the eyes like a two-by-four.....YES the basic theme to that movie is kids/children, killing children!! NO WAY AROUND IT!! That is the truth of the matter, it is a movie of kids killing kids.
I recently saw an interview of the writer of the book and the makers of the movie. In one part one of the movie makers said, "Well it is kinda where we are heading...."
NO IT IS NOT WHERE WE ARE HEADING!!
The BOOK and the MOVIE is utter perverseness!!
The book and the movie I have to admit now (kinda been slow) IS PERVERSE!!
How the sick minds of people can come up with a sick story of kids killing kids is ....well sickening!
I never went to see ANY of the HARRY POTTER movies because they were based fully on witchcraft, sorcery, black-magic, which God condemns very openly in the books of Moses, and gave commandment to ancient Israel that witches and the like were not to be in Israel - the death sentence was placed on such evil, those who would not repent of it. Sssssssssssssssooooooo........the perverse writing about or moviemaking built all around kids killing kids is also perverseness of mind.
AND IT IS NOT WHERE WE ARE HEADING as nations of the West.
We shall never have a society as given in The Hunger Games movie.
Oh, we are to be punished for our sins, for sure. But the book of Ezekiel tells us HOW....ONE THIRD to die with the plague and pestilence, ONE THIRD to die by the sword, killed by our enemies, and the REMAINING THIRD to be scattered as slaves into the lands our enemies. And when scattered we shall NOT be killing one another. We shall be so to speak in CHAINS, led away by our enemies. We shall NEVER have a society like given to us in The Hunger Games books or movies.
God says through Isaiah that His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways, but as the heaven is higher than the earth, so God's thoughts and His ways are higher than ours.
What is acclaimed by men/women as something "great" - Harry Potter books and movies - The Hunger Games books and movies - is sick and perverse in the eyes of the Eternal righteous God of heaven.
I was a little slow in NOT realizing The Hunger Games ideas for books or movies is evil, sick, and perverseness. All who partook in making them and profiting from the books and movies, are of this world, blinded by the god of this world, Satan the Devil, who goes about deceiving where he can, and who he can, in all kinds of ways, some openly evil and sick, others more subtle and where we have to take more notice. It was obvious to my son and his wife that they did NOT want to see a movie of children killing children.
THEY WERE AND ARE CORRECT!!
Such movies and books should not be entertained in our minds.
BE COURAGEOUS ..... ADMIT THE TRUTH, WHEN TRUTH HITS YOU BETWEEN THE EYES!

Django movie
When you ignore the profanity (which is hard to do so will not buy it when it comes out on DVD), it is a movie that is somewhat raw in shooting violence, but there have been movies even more so, it may go down as one of the top ten greatest serious adult western movies of all time, for the story behind it is one of the facts of American violent, perverse, and racist times of the 19th century, in the south.
Yes it is about a lot of bad guys, lustful guys, perverse guys, racist guys, going into the rich and mighty and powerful.
Now there were many white people of the south who no doubt treated the enslaved blacks in a good manner, with respect and kindness. BUT the sad fact of American (USA) history is there were many white guys who treated blacks as sub-human, cattle, and could be used and abused as they felt inclined. And of course this sad fact was still prevalent into the middle 20th century, which as a kid and teen growing up in England in the 1940s and 1950s I had not the inkling about. Did not realize the sad truth until I came to Canada in 1961 (interesting - 100 years from the start of the USA civil war). Then I started to discover the hate and violence and racism that many held in the southern USA towards the blacks; some of it (racism side) was even held as being in the Bible - the darkened minds of false Christian theology let me add.
Back in the 18th century you had indeed the bad guys of the West and South (some of course in the North also) - and you had the "bounty hunters" - bring the bad guys in for a reward, dead or alive.
So Django starts off on this side of USA history. But it leads to the bad white fellows of the rich and perverse group who bought and sold blacks for fun, amusement, and exploitation as working slaves.
And you had a few bad black guys in favor with the evil white guys and so given a working relationship with the latter.
So Django and his white bounty hunter (who teaches Django the ropes of bounty hunting) go off to rescue Django's wife, taken as a slave to work for the bad perverse, vain, conceited, powerful land and mansion owner.
As I've said some raw shooting violence throughout the movie. In the end, and half way through, you are already wanting to see the evil white guys really get what they deserve..... a death of violence, as they loved to be violent themselves. So yes they get their desert in no uncertain manner from Django. He gets his wife back, and you leave feeling good for Django, and that evil was obliterated in a big way.
The sadness of the movie is the truth that such evil white men did exist in the south of the USA in the middle 18th century, that such evil did happen, that the blacks were often treated as sub-human and only a step up from animals. And then it reminds you that such evil white men (and some women no doubt) had the same mental attitude about blacks right into the middle 20th century.
The movie is a sad reminder that the USA was born out of violence - the violent split from Britain, the violence towards blacks, the violence of their civil war, the violence they tried against Canada in the 1812-1814 war of lower Ontario the USA wanted as part of America. And the hate and violence against blacks into the middle 20th century. A nation born out of violence, so much so that they believe it should be normal and a so-called freedom, to be able to freely buy ASAULT weapons that should only be for the ARMY and SWAT teams. It is a mentality that is from the mentality of the evil perverse white man of the Django movie.
Django movie is certainly not for many, certainly not for anyone who is not an adult. But it does show without reservation the evil white men that lived in the USA in the 19th century.....well also shows one good white man, the man who rescues Django and teaches him the art of bounty hunting.
Reminds me also that we here in Canada have a perverse (well the Government does) mind-set that even crazy perverse serial killers, cop killers, child killers, man and women killers - deliberately planned killings, DO NOT GET THE DEATH PENALTY!!
Maybe the Canadian Government should go see the movie Django and come to see that some people deserve to be put to death for the evil they have done to other people.
Shocking to some, but God is a God of justice, and He in His written word says that DEATH should be given to some for sins and evil that some do to others.
...........
Yes it is about a lot of bad guys, lustful guys, perverse guys, racist guys, going into the rich and mighty and powerful.
Now there were many white people of the south who no doubt treated the enslaved blacks in a good manner, with respect and kindness. BUT the sad fact of American (USA) history is there were many white guys who treated blacks as sub-human, cattle, and could be used and abused as they felt inclined. And of course this sad fact was still prevalent into the middle 20th century, which as a kid and teen growing up in England in the 1940s and 1950s I had not the inkling about. Did not realize the sad truth until I came to Canada in 1961 (interesting - 100 years from the start of the USA civil war). Then I started to discover the hate and violence and racism that many held in the southern USA towards the blacks; some of it (racism side) was even held as being in the Bible - the darkened minds of false Christian theology let me add.
Back in the 18th century you had indeed the bad guys of the West and South (some of course in the North also) - and you had the "bounty hunters" - bring the bad guys in for a reward, dead or alive.
So Django starts off on this side of USA history. But it leads to the bad white fellows of the rich and perverse group who bought and sold blacks for fun, amusement, and exploitation as working slaves.
And you had a few bad black guys in favor with the evil white guys and so given a working relationship with the latter.
So Django and his white bounty hunter (who teaches Django the ropes of bounty hunting) go off to rescue Django's wife, taken as a slave to work for the bad perverse, vain, conceited, powerful land and mansion owner.
As I've said some raw shooting violence throughout the movie. In the end, and half way through, you are already wanting to see the evil white guys really get what they deserve..... a death of violence, as they loved to be violent themselves. So yes they get their desert in no uncertain manner from Django. He gets his wife back, and you leave feeling good for Django, and that evil was obliterated in a big way.
The sadness of the movie is the truth that such evil white men did exist in the south of the USA in the middle 18th century, that such evil did happen, that the blacks were often treated as sub-human and only a step up from animals. And then it reminds you that such evil white men (and some women no doubt) had the same mental attitude about blacks right into the middle 20th century.
The movie is a sad reminder that the USA was born out of violence - the violent split from Britain, the violence towards blacks, the violence of their civil war, the violence they tried against Canada in the 1812-1814 war of lower Ontario the USA wanted as part of America. And the hate and violence against blacks into the middle 20th century. A nation born out of violence, so much so that they believe it should be normal and a so-called freedom, to be able to freely buy ASAULT weapons that should only be for the ARMY and SWAT teams. It is a mentality that is from the mentality of the evil perverse white man of the Django movie.
Django movie is certainly not for many, certainly not for anyone who is not an adult. But it does show without reservation the evil white men that lived in the USA in the 19th century.....well also shows one good white man, the man who rescues Django and teaches him the art of bounty hunting.
Reminds me also that we here in Canada have a perverse (well the Government does) mind-set that even crazy perverse serial killers, cop killers, child killers, man and women killers - deliberately planned killings, DO NOT GET THE DEATH PENALTY!!
Maybe the Canadian Government should go see the movie Django and come to see that some people deserve to be put to death for the evil they have done to other people.
Shocking to some, but God is a God of justice, and He in His written word says that DEATH should be given to some for sins and evil that some do to others.

Tom Cruise - Jack Reacher movie
My son and his wife Mary-Lou were in town (Dad's town where I am at present), so we decided to go to a movie.
Went to see the new Tom Cruise movie - Jack Reacher. I do like Tom in most of his movies he has made over his career. This movie was good, enjoyed it for a thriller good guy against bad guys type of movie.
According to the real life gal in the movie Tom does indeed do all of his stunt work.
Lots of fancy martial arts fighting in this one. And it has a good suspense story, a kinda Sherlock Holmes figure it out story.
Now my son Ty has his black belt in martial arts fighting, used to have his own studio, trained many policemen over the years. I asked him if the martial arts fighting in this movie was the real thing. He said yes it was and gave the name of the Russian fellow from whom this type of martials arts comes from. Ty is right up there with all the famous styles of the top martial arts teachers in the world - he has worked with some of them.
When I was a teen I wanted to do martials arts stuff but back in the 1950s all there was out there was Judo. I did do the Judo, actually was in a local stage show where one scene was a Judo contest. My teacher and I did the scene.
I had another teacher in Judo who knew some martial arts and he privately taught me some of that skill.
Back in the 1950s you had a spree of teens who were out just to pick on someone, you know the tough guy type. I was leaving work one day and about 4 teens were walking towards me; I got this feeling .... a not so good feeling, and sure enough you had this one teen who was the tough guy leader. They stopped and the leader wanted to show me his macho toughness. He took hold of my shirt up by the neck and said his tough words. I told him I did not want any trouble. He continued his tough talk, then head butted me. I figured he was not going to just leave it be at that. So I pulled back or rolled back on to my back pulling him with me and talking me legs in his stomach threw him over myself, flying through the air and smashing down. I jumped up in a cat like fighting pose ready to fight him with martial arts I knew. He and his 3 buddies took off - they figured they had tangled with the wrong fellow.
Well the stuff my son Ty knows......I would never want to tangle with him if I was one of those "think I'm tough" guys out there. But today thankfully most teens and young men stay out of fights unless you are in the places you should not be in.
Well back to Jack Reacher movie...... a good movie if you like a Sherlock Holmes and martials arts type movie.

Loosing weight as MSN.com
Today 26th December does not surprise me as to what MSN.com gives as the best foods for weight loss......does not surprise me except for ONE....potatoes!!
DO NOT AGREE with that one.
The goodness of the potato is the first 1/8th from the skin down, the rest is starch.
Leave potatoes out of your diet for weight loss.
MSN did not mention ANY wheat products, and so for weight loss the book "Wheat Belly" is correct.
All the various forms that wheat comes in (today many many and many) and tends to be a way too large of people's diet each and every day.................yesssss.......need to cut out 98 percent of wheat products if you want to loose weight.

Sad news.....friend dies
Last night, about 1 am of the 26th I received a phone call from Calgary. The lady that owned the Music School I taught for over the last 10 years - Michelle, 45 years old - had DIED in hospital.
It is very sad indeed as 3 years ago she was a healthy vibrant lady, full of life, love, friendliness, and talent as a piano teacher.
But life began to bear down on her....a poor marriage, no children, and all of her friends I guess (I was one of them) were not enough to keep her from becoming an alcoholic. It started with wine, but eventually moved to the hard liquor.
I tried to talk to her about the problem she was in, so did a few others. Even the Community Center where the Music School was situated had to enter the picture for parents could smell alcohol on her breath as she was teaching. The Com Center told her she had to seek help....she did and seemed for a while to get her life back in order. But then she slipped back into alcohol.
The Com.Center did not renew her contract. She was teaching at home from last September. I talked to her about 3 or 4 times on the phone since September. A mutual friend we had told me she had quit alcohol as a blood test in the hospital revealed such destruction, they told her she had only about one month to live.
But the damage had been done.....a blood infection took hold; was admitted to hospital last Friday the 21st. Her kidneys had shut down, her liver was toast (if she lived it would be a liver transplant for sure).
Last night on December 25th at 10:10 pm Michelle died!
SO SAD, SO SAD. WHAT THE HORROR THAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU BECOME DRUGGED ON ALCOHOL. MICHELLE AT AGE 45 DEAD FROM ALCOHOL ABUSE.
ALL OF HER FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES ARE IN SHOCK, MANY OF THEM NOT KNOWNING SHE HAD BECOME AN ALCOHOLIC.
SOME OF US WHO KNEW ARE NOW THINKING WE SHOUD HAVE BEEN MORE OPEN AND EVEN MORE TOUGH WITH HER ABOUT THE PROBLEM OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.
SO ALL I CAN SAY IS IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WITH AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM YOU NEED TO DO ALL AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO TRY AND GET THROUGH TO THEM THE DANGER THEY ARE IN.
AND OF COURSE IF YOU DRINK ALCOHOL MAKE SURE IT IS ALWAYS IN GREAT MODERATION........LET ME SAY IT AGAIN.......GREAT MODERATION!!

WORLDWIDE BRANDING!
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS THE BABYLON WHORE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION. IT WAS PROPHESIED TO BRAND HER SPIRITUAL FORNICATION ON THE WORLD....MAKE ALL NATIONS DRUNK ON HER WINE OF FALSE TEACHINGS.
AND SO THE WORLD, YES THE SECULAR WORLD, OBSERVES THE 25TH OF DECEMBER.
HERE IN MY DAD'S TOWN (ABOUT 130,000 POPULATION) IT WAS A GHOST TOWN YESTERDAY - EVERYTHING CLOSED DOWN AS FAR AS BUYING AND SELLING.
THE RC CHURCH ADOPTED THE 25TH OF DECEMBER ABOUT 400 YEARS AFTER JESUS HAD RETURNED TO HEAVEN. THEN THEY ADOPTED THE PAGAN JANUARY 1ST AS THE NEW YEAR, SO NOW FROM EAST TO WEST ON TV YOU SEE THE 1ST OF JANUARY COMING ACROSS THE WORLD FROM JAPAN, CHINA, INDIA TO THE USA.
YOU NEED TO BE STUDYING MY STUDIES ON MY WEBSITE AND LEARNING WHAT IS TRUTH FROM WHAT IS ERROR AND FALSEHOOD.
YOU NEED TO LOVE THE TRUTH, TO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEN YOU WILL BE FILLED, AS JESUS PROMISED.
YOU NEED TO COME TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORLD, EVEN THE "CHRISTIAN" WORLD IS DRUNK ON THE WINE OF THE SPIRITUAL FORNICATIONS OF THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS - THE BABYLON WHORE.
THE TRUTHS OF THE WORD OF GOD CAN BE FOUND, AND AS JESUS SAID, THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE!!

Roman Catholic branding
FOR ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED YEARS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST WAS NOT GIVEN A DAY TO CELEBRATE........ YES FOR ABOUT 400 YEARS THE 25TH OF DECEMBER WAS NOT CELEBRATED AS THE BIRTH OF JESUS!
IT WAS A DAY THE PAGANS HAD AS THEIR WINTER WORSHIP OF THE SUN - MORE DAYLIGHT HOURS IN THE DAY - THE SUN GOING DOWN AND NOW COMING BACK.
THE RC CHURCH FIGURED IF IT ADOPTED AND ADAPTED THIS WINTER FESTIVAL AND SPRINKLED IT WITH SO-CALLED HOLY WATER, THEN THE PAGANS COULD ENTER THE RC CHURCH AND STILL HAVE THEIR WINTER FESTIVAL.
THE SAME WAS APPLIED TO JANUARY 1ST......I MEAN STARTING THE NEW YEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER IS ILLOGICAL TO SAY THE LEAST. UNLESS YOU ARE WORSHIPPING THE SUN.
BUT THE BIRTH OF JESUS IS RECORDED IN THE BIBLE, ANGELS SANG, AND THE FATHER MADE SURE SOME KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING.
WE SING ABOUT THE LIFE OF CHRIST, THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST, THE DEATH OF CHRIST, THE GLORY OF CHRIST, AND ETC. ALL YEAR ROUND. BUT MOST OF THE SABBATH KEEPING CHURCHES OF GOD WILL NOT SING ABOUT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST......AGAIN ILL-LOGICAL! MANY BEAUTIFUL HYMNS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THE BIRTH OF JESUS - "SILENT NIGHT" - "HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING" AND MANY OTHERS (SOMETIMES A FEW WORDS NEED TO BE CHANGED). IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT WE OF THE SABBATH OBSERVING GROUPS SEEM TO REFUSE TO SING ABOUT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.
WE SHOULD BE SINGING ABOUT IT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR JUST AS WE SING ABOUT OTHER ASPECTS OF THE LIFE AND DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF CHRIST.
TIME TO GET A BALANCE......THROW OUT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC FALSE TEACHINGS BUT KEEP THAT WHICH IS GOOD AND RIGHT. SINGING ABOUT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST IS GOOD AND RIGHT.

PERSPECTIVE on GUNS in the USA!!
A global view on American gun violence
Firearm ownership and homicides relative to the rest of the world.
By Rich_Maloof 1 hour ago
Around the world, there are more than 656,000,000 firearms in the hands of civilians. A fresh batch of eight million small arms are manufactured every year, plus 10 to 15 billion rounds of ammunition. That’s enough to shoot every person in the world — twice.
Where does the U.S. rank in gun ownership and gun violence relative to other countries of the world? It depends on how you consider the data: by percentage of guns per capita, by mass killings committed, by gun homicides in nations with comparable economies, or even by unintentional gun deaths.
We are the unrivaled leader in all of those categories.
Here are a few facts to begin gaining some perspective.
There are an estimated 270,000,000 guns held by civilians in the U.S. — more than the number of passenger cars by about 50 million. It may be expected that we’d have more than the other 178 countries surveyed, but we also have by far the highest percentage of guns per capita. The rate? For every 100 people in America there are 88.8 guns. The nearest competitor is Serbia at 58.21 per 100 people, and rates fall off significantly from there.
Ownership rates can’t be equated with violence, and we are not the most homicidal nation by a long shot. Honduras has only 6.2 guns per 100 people, a small fraction of our own rate, but has the most homicides per gun. In that small Central American republic there are 68.43 killings by gun per 100,000 people, compared to just 2.98 per 100,000 in the U.S.
In fact, underdeveloped nations far surpass wealthier regions in armed civilian violence. Countries in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, the near and middle East, and Southwest Asia far outgun North America, Central Asia, and Europe in percentage of homicides by firearm.
However, relative to other highly developed nations, our record is abysmal. Using statistics from the UN and national sources, PolitiFact calculated that the rate of gun homicide in the U.S. was 15 times the rate of comparable countries like Australia, Japan, Norway, and the UK nations (as of 2009).
Mass shootings are not unique to America. But for civilian massacres outside of wartime, we have more than all other nations combined. Of the 25 worst mass shootings of the past 50 years listed in Time this past July, months before Sandy Hook, 15 occurred in the U.S. Of the other nations, only Finland, with two entries, had more than one shooting ranked.
Back in 2000, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said that the death toll from small arms “dwarfs that of all other weapons systems — and in most years greatly exceeds the toll of the atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
In other words, the carnage wrought by the most devastating weapons of mass destruction ever unleashed on mankind is repeated every year in gun violence. Certainly there’s an argument to be made for responsible firearm ownership. But there’s no debating that if it weren’t for gun violence, nearly 300,000 people who were alive at this time last year would still be breathing.

Worldwide there are more than 1,000 gun deaths daily. In the U.S., we average 25 every day, or more than one person shot to death every hour.

YES THE USA HAS TO BE THE WORSE AND BIGGEST PLACE ON EARTH FOR THE PRODUCTION OF UN-HEALTHY FOODS SO-CALLED.
Keith Hunt
The United States uses nearly 30 million pounds of antibiotics annually in food production. Livestock antibiotic use accounts for 80 percent of the total antibiotics sold in the US, and unnecessary use of antibiotics in food animals (cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys) is a major driving force behind the rampant development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Compare this to the 6 million pounds of antibiotics that are used for every man, woman and child in the US combined. But unlike human use, in which antibiotics are prescribed to treat serious infection, in animals, drugs such as penicillins and tetracyclines are routinely added to animal feed as a cheap way to make the animals grow faster.
The primary reason why concentrated animal feedlot operations (CAFOs) are such hotbeds for breeding antibiotic-resistant bacteria is because of the continuous feeding of low doses of antibiotics to the animals, which allows pathogens to survive, adapt, and eventually, thrive.
In short, American food producers are trading slightly reduced production costs (i.e. more meat per animal) for more lethal illnesses — both in animals and humans. Just one of several now resistant pathogens, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), is responsible for more than 94,000 infections and 18,000 deaths in the US each year!
Food Producers Now Responsible for Rapid Increase in Lethal Diseases
To combat the dramatic rise in antibiotic-resistant disease, the most important step is to curb the misuse of antibiotics in food production. Sure, we need to start prescribing antibiotics more judiciously in the medical setting as well, but when you consider that medical use of antibiotics accounts for just 20 percent of all the antibiotics sold each year, it makes sense to restrict the primary culprit the hardest, or else we'll never make a dent in this problem.
Alas, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has continually fallen short in this regard. Instead of enforcing stricter regulations, the agency has simply asked food producers to voluntarily limit their use of certain antibiotics. In fact, on December 22, 2011, the agency quietly posted a notice in the Federal Register1 that it was effectively reneging on its plan to reduce the use of antibiotics in agricultural animal feed – a plan it has been touting since 1977!
According to the Federal Register:
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is withdrawing two 1977 notices of opportunity for a hearing (NOOH), which proposed to withdraw certain approved uses of penicillin and tetracyclines intended for use in feeds for food-producing animals based in part on microbial food safety concerns."
FDA Sued for Withholding Drug Data
But that's not all. The FDA now stands accused of wrongfully withholding data regarding the sale of antibiotics for use in food animals — a move that makes it virtually impossible to evaluate the extent to which these drugs are causing harm. On December 5, the Government Accountability Project (GAP) filed a lawsuit against the FDA after the agency refused to release data on the amount of antibiotics sold for use in food animals in 2009.
According to the featured report by foodwhistleblower.org2:
"Drug companies are required to report basic information about antibiotic sales to the FDA under the Animal Drug User Fee Act (ADUFA). Such information includes how much of each drug is sold; whether the drugs are formulated for use in feed, water, or by injection; and the animals for which each drug is approved. FDA publicly releases a limited summary of ADUFA data each year, but withholds almost all of what companies report.This lawsuit comes after FDA's failure to respond properly to GAP's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the agency, which sought data concerning the amount of antibiotics sold for use in food animals in 2009, classified by animal type and dosage information.The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF), an academic research center based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, approached GAP for help obtaining these data almost two years ago. GAP made the request in February 2011, and has exhausted all other steps to get the information, short of litigation. In the end, the agency denied GAP's request, claiming that the requested data is "confidential commercial information."That's just not good enough, according to GAP Food Integrity Campaign Director Amanda Hitt, who pointed out that "the agency's job is to protect the public's health, not industry secrets." As usual, there's also the issue of financial conflicts of interest at work. According to Tyler Smith, Senior Research and Policy Associate with the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF)3:
"Why is FDA so lethargic? Its inaction appears to result from a major conflict of interest centered on ADUFA. The main purpose of this law is to collect millions of dollars in "user fees" from drug companies to speed review and approval of applications for new animal drugs submitted by drug companies. The agency collected $18 million under ADUFA last year.ADUFA will expire next year unless Congress reauthorizes it. FDA is desperate for industry support for reauthorization — without ADUFA, the agency clearly would lose a great deal of money... FDA will not bite the hand that feeds it by enhancing ADUFA's reporting requirements. Indeed, in recommendations to Congress on how ADUFA should be amended when it's reauthorized, the agency did not even mention the requirements. FDA just swept them under the rug."
What is the Government Accountability Project (GAP)?
The Government Accountability Project4 (GAP) is a non-partisan, non-profit public interest group that works to empower citizen activists and to protect whistleblowers by promoting corporate and government accountability. Some of the group's areas of interest include monitoring drug safety, environmental agencies, government affairs and food integrity, and acting as a watchdog over national security and human rights, international reform, legislative issues, and public health5.
GAP also is a founding member of the Safe Food Coalition, which works closely with Congress and food safety agencies to ensure the integrity of our food supply.
According to GAP's website, numerous whistleblowers and clients have risked their careers to help the organization pursue extraordinary projects that have resulted in legislative changes and/or lawsuits. It does all this with a $2.5 million a year budget, with funds coming from more than 10,000 individual donors and foundations, legal fees, settlement awards, and services provided. Some of its donors include the Carnegie Foundation, CS Fund, Ford Foundation, the Open Society Institute, and Rockefeller Family Fund.
New Legislation Seeks to End the Secrecy on Livestock Drug Use
In related news, on October 16, California Representative Henry Waxman, ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, announced he is introducing legislation6 to "increase information on the amount and use of antibiotics in animals raised for human consumption."
The bill, "Delivering Antibiotic Transparency in Animals (DATA) Act," would require drug manufacturers to issue comprehensive reports to the FDA on how their drugs are actually used. It would also for the first time require feed mills to report how they use the drugs. Data reporting would include the types, purposes and quantities of antibiotics being added to animal feed.
"We need this information so scientists and Congress can stop the spread of drug-resistant infections from farm animals to humans," Waxman said at a Santa Monica press conference.
CAFO's May Be Cost Effective, But at What Price?
Ultimately, the root of the problem stems from our modern food production practices. Confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's) are a far cry from the traditional farm, and the excessive use of antibiotics and other veterinary drugs in CAFO's has arisen both from need and misuse.
CAFO animals do require more drugs as disease is rampant due to cramped and unsanitary living conditions. It's a natural side effect of raising thousands, or tens of thousands of animals on one farm. You simply cannot raise 30,000 chickens on pasture for example. For the sake of efficiency, CAFO animals are crammed into tiny spaces and treated in ways that are truly shocking to most people who are just learning about how CAFO's are run. Due to these living conditions, a variety of drugs, including antibiotics, are routinely administered to all animals, whether they're sick or well, in order to keep as many of them as possible alive until it's time for slaughter.
However, drugs are also routinely used to boost growth of the animal, and this is purely a financial concern. Larger, fatter animals equates to greater profits. The ultimate price, of course, is that you end up getting a dose of antibiotics and other drugs in each and every steak and chicken wing.
An even lesser-known issue is the problem with antibiotic-laden manure from conventional farms further contaminating the rest of your food supply. That's right — even your lettuce may contain antibiotics! These are all powerful reasons for choosing organically-raised, drug-free, grass-fed or pastured animal products.
Other countries have also realized the inherent hazards of antibiotic overuse and have opted for a healthier approach to the raising of livestock. For example, Denmark stopped the widespread use of antibiotics in their pork industry 14 years ago. The European Union has also banned the routine use of antibiotics in animal feed over concerns of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
After Denmark implemented the antibiotic ban, it was later confirmed the country had drastically reduced antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their animals and food. Furthermore, the Danish experiment proved that removing antibiotics doesn't have to hurt the industry's bottom line. In the first 12 years of the ban, the Danish pork industry grew by 43 percent -- making it one of the top exporters of pork in the world. But the American Pork Industry doesn't want to curb antibiotic use, as it raises the cost of producing pork by an estimated $5 for every 100 pounds of pork brought to market...
What Types of Bacteria are Resistant to Antibiotics?
Antibiotic resistance is not isolated to a few obscure bacteria. It is a very real and growing problem. Antibiotic-resistant infections now claim more lives each year than the "modern plague" of AIDS, and cost the American health care system some $20 billion a year7,8. The table below shows various bacteria that are already resistant to many commonly prescribed antibiotics9:
Acinetobacter: A bacteria found in soil and water that often causes infections in seriously ill hospital patients. Anthrax: Spread by infected animals or potentially bioterrorist weapons. Gonorrhea: A sexually transmitted disease. Group B streptococcus: A common bacteria in newborns, the elderly and adults with other illnesses. Klebsiella pneumonia: A bacteria that can lead to pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound and surgical site infections and meningitis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): A superbug that can be so difficult to treat, it can easily progress from a superficial skin infection to a life-threatening infection in your bones, joints, bloodstream, heart valves, lungs, or surgical wounds. Neisseria meningitides: One of the leading causes of bacterial meningitis in children and young adults. Shigella: An infectious disease caused by Shigella bacteria. Streptococcus pneumoniae: A leading cause of pneumonia, bacteremia, sinusitis, and acute otitis media (AOM). Tuberculosis (TB): Both "multi-drug resistant" and "extensively drug-resistant" forms of TB are now being seen. Typhoid fever: A life-threatening illness caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacteria. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE): Infection with the enteroccocci bacteria that often occurs in hospitals and is resistant to vancomycin, an antibiotic. Vancomycin-Intermediate/Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VISA/VRSA): Various strains of staph bacteria that are resistant to vancomycin. Campylobacter: A pathogen common to chicken products.
You Can Help Stop Antibiotic Overuse
You take a stand against antibiotic overuse every time you avoid using an antibiotic for a minor infection, and every time you opt to buy antibiotic-free, organically raised meat...........
If you live in the United States and want to get involved on a national level, Food Democracy Now! has created a petition against the overuse of antibiotics in livestock production. If you care about this issue, I suggest you use this petition to make your voice heard

GMO or GE foods - STAND UP - be counted
SEEMS LIKE YOU IN THE USA HAVE TO STAND UP:
Eneral Mills Gets a Taste of the Backlash After it Spent Over $1.1 Million to Defeat GMO Labeling Initiative
December 18, 2012 | 182,963 views |
By Dr. Mercola
Organic foods are required by U.S. federal law to be produced in ways that promote ecological sustainability, without common toxic and genetically engineered ingredients.
But organic products are increasingly being forced to compete with products that are labeled as "natural." There are no restrictions on the term "natural", and it often constitutes nothing more than meaningless marketing hype. Most disturbing of all, many foods labeled as "natural" actually contain genetically engineered ingredients, and breakfast cereals are particularly guilty of this.
California's Proposition 37, which would have required GE foods to be labeled as such and prevented GE foods from being mislabeled as "natural," was defeated back in November due to massive donations from multinational corporations that hide GE ingredients behind natural labels and "wholesome" advertising.
One such company was General Mills, which donated more than $1.1 million to the No on Prop. 37 campaign to defeat the GE labeling law. I recently told you this betrayal of consumers' trust will backfire, and General Mills just got a taste of the backlash.
Good Business 101: Do Not Deceive Your Customers
At the beginning of December, General Mills' Cheerios brand released a Facebook app asking "fans" to "show what Cheerios mean to them." The app allowed users to create their own placards using Cheerios' trademarked black font on a yellow background, where dots and periods featured little cheerios. One day later, the app was abruptly pulled after thousands of angry "fans" expressed their disgust over the company's betrayal. According to Activist Post1:
"You could literally spend all day looking at 'Recent Posts by Others' on Cheerios' Facebook page - they are nearly all complaints about GMOs and declarations of boycotts."Cheerios diligently deleted posts as quickly as they could, and most have now been removed, along with the app. But screenshots of some of the creations have been preserved on Cheeseslave2 and the Happy Place3 website.
Examples include:
- Occupy Food
- Poison
- Science Experiment
- Cheerigmos
- Caution GMOs

As stated in the featured article4:
"General Mills has drawn their line in the sand, spent over a million to deceive paying customers, and is now trying to hide the backlash from other customers who do not yet know the damaging nature of genetic modification. It just goes to show that the fight for truth about GMOs in the face of deception by Monsanto, DuPont, and large food corporations is far from over. And consumers are winning without needing millions for a failed hushmoney campaign."
Parents are Waking Up to the Dangers of Genetically Engineered Foods
In a recent press release 5, Alisa Gravitz, CEO and president of Green America, stated:
"The sheer volume of comments on Cheerios' Facebook page raising concerns around genetically engineered ingredients is incredibly inspiring. It is also amazing to see the creativity that visitors to Cheerios' Facebook page use to call out Cheerios on using their customers as a science experiment for GMO consumption. Cheerios is a cereal that is frequently fed to children, and many of the comments are from concerned parents who are worried about the fact that they have been feeding a cereal with genetically engineered ingredients to their children."One such parent posted a comment on Cheerios Facebook page saying,
"So sorry that the food my kids loved as toddlers is one I can't support anymore. I can't believe that General Mills has the well-being of its customers in mind when it contributes to movement against labeling of GMOs."She expresses exactly what so many people are now waking up to — the fact that there are an ever growing number of genetically engineered ingredients in our food that we had no idea were there. As far as Cheerios goes, you'd never get the impression there might be anything unnatural about their cereal. According to its website6:
"Cheerios has been a family favorite for years — with good reason! Its wholesome goodness is perfect for toddlers to adults and everyone in between. Made from whole grain oats, Cheerios has no artificial colors or flavors. Those wholesome little O's have only one gram of sugar. They're low in fat, have no saturated fat and are naturally cholesterol free. Cheerios are also an excellent source of folic acid and a good source of fiber.Maybe that's why parents feel so good about serving Cheerios to their families. It's a healthy way to start the day, a perfect snack, and tastes great in a recipe. You can trust Cheerios for a lifetime of wholesome goodness for your whole family."However, two of the first three ingredients in Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios are corn starch and sugar — two ingredients that might be genetically engineered (a majority of corn-based ingredients and sugar from sugar beets on the US market is now GE). The thing is we can't know since they don't have to disclose whether they're using GE ingredients or not on the label. But the fact that General Mills chose to cough up well over a million dollars to avoid GE labeling definitely leads one to believe that, most likely, these (and/or other ingredients) of Cheerios ARE indeed the genetically modified versions. If that's the case, then there goes the "trust" for "a lifetime of wholesome goodness."
The fact that General Mills would rather pay millions to hide that their products contain GE ingredients rather than give you the choice to buy something else, or reformulate their product without GE ingredients (which would be the sensible thing to do if they were really concerned about children's long-term health and well-being) is quite telling. And fortunately, people are now starting to see through these shady tactics where actions do not match their words.
Sugar Doesn't Need to Be Genetically Modified to Be Hazardous to Your Child's Health
Besides the issue of whether the sugar in your favorite processed food is genetically engineered or not, it's important to remember that sugary breakfast cereals are bad news for your child's health no matter what.
Many are utterly fooled by advertisements promising "wholesome goodness," when it's really very little difference between many popular breakfast cereals and a candy bar. The following video illustrates this quite effectively. Honey Nut Cheerios contains the equivalent of four added teaspoons of sugar in each bowl compared to the original Cheerios. Few parents would allow their child to heap four teaspoons of sugar onto their cereal. Yet they fail to understand just how much sugar is hidden in the processed foods they serve their kids each day.
Are You Being Misled by Your Favorite "All-Natural" Brand?
Last year, a report from the Cornucopia Institute titled Cereal Crimes7 exposed how most "natural" brands are actually just charging you more for what often amounts to genetically engineered ingredients. This is in all likelihood part of the reason why so many "natural" brands spent millions of dollars to defeat California's GMO labeling campaign.
According to the report:
"[There is a] vast differences between organic cereal and granola products and so-called natural products, which contain ingredients grown on conventional farms where the use of toxic pesticides and genetically engineered organisms is widespread... Our analysis reveals that "natural" products — using conventional ingredients — often are priced higher than equivalent organic products. This suggests that some companies are taking advantage of consumer confusion."This is significant, because surveys have shown that more consumers pay attention to the "100% Natural" claim than the "100% Organic" label. In one such survey, 31 percent of respondents said the "100% Natural" label was the most desirable eco-friendly product claim, compared to just 14 percent who chose "100% Organic." Food companies clearly know this, and they're cashing in on your confusion. The truth is, synthetic ingredients and additives, toxic pesticides, fumigants and solvents frequently show up in products bearing the "natural" label, while these are strictly prohibited in organic production. But the most disturbing finding presented in the Cereal Crimes report related to the presence of genetically engineered ingredients found in so-called all-natural foods:
"The Cornucopia Institute sent samples of breakfast cereal to an accredited and highly reputable GMO testing laboratory. Samples were tested for the exact percentage of genetically engineered corn or soybeans, using the most sophisticated and accurate tests commercially available.The results were stunning. Several breakfast cereal manufacturers that market their foods as "natural," even some that claim to avoid genetically engineered ingredients and are enrolled in the Non-GMO Project, contained high levels of genetically engineered ingredients."Natural products found to contain 100 percent genetically engineered grains included:
Kashi® Mother's® Nutritious Living® General Mills Kix® GoLean® Bumpers® Hi-Lo®
Remember: "Natural" Label Does NOT Prohibit Genetically Modified Ingredients
The USDA certified organic label is your best guarantee that the food was produced without:
This peace of mind is something the "100% Natural" label will NOT give you. Genetically engineered (GE) ingredients are of particular concern when it comes to food products like breakfast cereals and granola bars, because, in the US, the vast majority of the most common ingredients in these products — corn, soy, and canola — are genetically modified. Unfortunately, more than 60 percent of consumers erroneously believe that the "natural" label implies or suggests the absence of GE ingredients, according to a 2010 Hartman Group poll. If you're one of the 60 percent, please understand that at the current time, the ONLY label that can protect you against GE ingredients is the USDA 100% Organic label.
- Toxic pesticides
- Genetically engineered (GE) ingredients
- Carcinogenic fumigants
- Chemical solvents
In Lieu of GMO Labeling, 100% Organic is Your Only Assurance
Once you realize that much of the "natural" claims are hype, it becomes easier to navigate around the deception. To find brands that are committed to sustainable organic agriculture and avoiding genetically engineered ingredients use Cornucopia's Cereal Scorecard8.
Another factor to consider is the fact that many small family farms actually adhere to fully organic practices even though they may not have gone through the expense of obtaining organic certification. So labels aren't everything when it comes to healthful food. But if you're going to shop by the label, make sure it's the certified 100% organic label. Until or unless we get GMO labeling in the US, the 100% USDA Certified Organic label is the only assurance you have that the food you buy does NOT contain genetically engineered ingredients.
Keep Fighting for GMO Labeling in North America
With the defeat of Prop. 37 in California, the field-of-play has now moved to the state of Washington, where the people's initiative 522, "The People's Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act," will require food sold in retail outlets to be labeled if it contains genetically engineered ingredients.
As stated on LabelWA.org9:
"Calorie and nutritional information were not always required on food labels. But since 1990 it has been required and most consumers use this information every day. Country-of-origin labeling wasn't required until 2002. The trans fat content of foods didn't have to be labeled until 2006. Now, all of these labeling requirements are accepted as important for consumers. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also says we must know with labeling if our orange juice is from fresh oranges or frozen concentrate.Doesn't it make sense that genetically engineered foods containing experimental viral, bacterial, insect, plant or animal genes should be labeled, too? Genetically engineered foods do not have to be tested for safety before entering the market. No long-term human feeding studies have been done. The research we have is raising serious questions about the impact to human health and the environment. I-522 provides the transparency people deserve.I-522 will not raise costs to consumers or food producers. It simply would add more information to food labels, which manufacturers change routinely anyway, all the time. I-522 does not impose any significant cost on our state. It does not require the state to conduct label surveillance, or to initiate or pursue enforcement. The state may choose to do so, as a policy choice, but I-522 was written to avoid raising costs to the state or consumers."The initiative reports having regional leaders across the state. In order to get I-522 on the 2013 ballot, they need to collect 241,153 valid signatures by December 31, 2012. I urge you to share this information with everyone you know in Washington State, and ask them to sign the petition. Vermont has also created a Right to Know Campaign10 appealing directly to their state legislators.
These initiatives need support of people like YOU to succeed. Prop. 37 failed with a very narrow margin simply because we didn't have the funds to counter the massive ad campaigns created by the 'No on 37' camp, led by Monsanto and other major food companies — including General Mills. Let's not allow Monsanto and its allies to confuse and mislead the people of Washington and Vermont as they did in California. So please, I urge you to get involved and help in any way you can, regardless of what state you live in.
- No matter where you live in the United States, please donate money to these labeling efforts through the Organic Consumers Fund.
- If you live in Washington State, please sign the I-522 petition. You can also volunteer to help gather signatures across the state.
- If you live in Vermont, please sign the VT Right to Know GMO's petition.
- For timely updates on issues relating to these and other labeling initiatives, please join the Organic Consumers Association on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.
- Talk to organic producers and stores and ask them to actively support the Washington and Vermont initiatives.
