Surprise, Surprise! The World Didn’t End Today After All

Harold Camping\'s false prediction of End of the WorldSaturday, May 21, 2011-  By Dan Wooding – Founder of ASSIST Ministries

What will Harold Camping’s excuse be this time?

OAKLAND, CA (ANS) — For a second time in his lifetime, and with no sign of Judgment Day arriving today (Saturday, May 21, 2011) as forecasted by 89-year-old broadcaster, Harold Camping, his followers are now faced with trying to make sense of his latest failed pronouncement.

The head of an Oakland-based network that broadcasts on over 66 U.S stations and through international affiliates now has some explaining to do to the supporters who helped him post at least 2,000 billboard across America and in many other countries warning of the Day of Judgment.

Gabrielle Saveri, in a story for Reuters, said: “Harold Camping, the former civil engineer who heads the Family Radio Network of Christian stations, had been unwavering in his message that believers would be swept to heaven on May 21.”

She went on to say that in New York, retired transportation agency worker Robert Fitzpatrick was inspired by Camping’s message to spend over $140,000 of his savings on subway posters and outdoor advertisements warning of the May 21 Judgment Day.

“As he stood in Times Square in New York surrounded by onlookers, Fitzpatrick, 60, carried a Bible and handed out leaflets as he waited for Judgment Day to begin,” she continued.

“By his own reading of Bible, which was slightly different than Camping’s, Fitzgerald expected the great worldwide event to begin at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.”

She added that when the hour came and went, he said: “I do not understand why …,” as his speech broke off and he looked at his watch.

“I do not understand why nothing has happened.”

Justice Served in an American-Islamic Honor Killing

20 year-old American-Iraqi Noor Almaleki killed by her fatherPosted by Phyllis Chesler on Apr 15th, 2011 and filed under Daily Mailer, FrontPage.

Arizona Judge Roland Steinle has just sentenced Faleh Almaleki to 34½ years in prison. According to live reporting from the courtroom, the judge noted that Almaleki showed no remorse after the murder, that he did not forgive his daughter, that he did what suited his own purpose.

The judge also said this was the hardest case he had to face in his six years on the bench. He found no mitigating factors and sentenced Almaleki to 34 and 1/2 years: 15 years for the aggravated assault of Khalaf, 3 and 1/2 years for leaving the scene of an accident, and 16 years for the second-degree murder of his daughter. He was facing a maximum total of 46 years.

Thus, today we have witnessed Iraqi-American Faleh Almaleki being sentenced in Phoenix, Arizona for having honor murdered his 20-year-old daughter Noor and for having attempted to murder Amal Khalaf, the woman who was trying to protect her. In October of 2009, he followed the daughter, whom he had tormented all her life, to a shopping mall, lurked outside, then boldly ran over her precious, lovely body with a two-ton Cherokee jeep.

Cleric: Jihad coming to ‘heart of America

Anjem ChoudaryMay 02, 2011 – © 2011 WorldNetDaily

Al-Qaida revenge attacks to have ‘devastating effect’

The death of Osama bin Laden will bring a “new era of jihad,” predicted British extremist cleric Anjem Choudary.

Warning there are motivated jihadists “in the heart of America,” Choudary said al-Qaida will likely carry out revenge operations with “meticulous accuracy” and “devastating affect” comparable to that of the 9/11 attacks.

Choudary is the founder and former chief of two Islamic groups disbanded by the British authorities under anti-terror legislation.

Speaking today in an interview with “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” of New York’s WABC Radio, Choudary said that while bin Laden was a “lion of Islam … there are many lions waiting to take his place.”

“I do believe that the death of Sheikh Osama will bring in a new era of jihad,” Choudary told Klein.

Atheist Who Went to Hell and Was Saved Gives Riveting Testimony

Former Atheist Matthew Botsford and his wifeby Teresa Neumann : May 9, 2011 : Josephine Vivaldo – The Christian Post

“Hell is a real place. Hell was never intended for us; God doesn’t want any one of us to go there. He wants all of us to come to Him through repentance. It’s a simple thing. We believe that Jesus is the son of God and we should have a relationship with Him. It’s important to spend time with Him and get to know His Word. It’s all based on relationship.”

Matthew Botsford—who, today has a ministry called “Seeds of Love”—experienced Hell first-hand during a 27-day coma after his business partner was killed and he was shot in the head.

In an interview by Josephine Vivaldo for The Christian Post, Botsford explains that he was an atheist at the time of the shooting.

Of his experience in Hell, he says: “I immediately was in my full bodily form. I looked like myself but I didn’t have any clothes on and I was hung like crucifixion style in a very deep abyss. All I could see beneath me was very red, it was very hot. I was chained on both my wrists and I had shackles on my ankles. I knew I was in some sort of cavern. It was pitch black. I knew I was going to be there forever. I knew there was nothing I can do to get myself out of it. I didn’t know the name of Jesus so I never prayed, you know ‘Jesus, please save me.'”

“There was this continual mocking,” he added, “this sense of hopelessness, and evil in all sides. There was nothing good there. It was totally void. Even in life, if we are having a bad day we kind of know that something good is around the corner. There was nothing good around the corner.”

Billy Graham Tells Universalist: Hell Is Real

Evangelist Billy GrahamBy Jennifer Riley | Christian Post Reporter – Apr. 06 2011 

Billy Graham, retired evangelist and spiritual counselor to U.S. presidents, stated plainly to a questioner with a universalist worldview that hell is real.

A questioner identified only as P.McN had contacted Graham and asked: “Why would a loving God send anyone to hell? I can’t reconcile the idea of hell with Jesus’ teaching about love. I’m not sure I even believe in hell anyway. Maybe everyone will be saved, even if they weren’t expecting it.”

The respected evangelical leader pointed the person to Luke 12:5, where Jesus says, “I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.”

“It may surprise you to discover that no one taught about hell or warned us against it more than Jesus – and we should take his words very seriously,” responded Graham, 92, to the questioner on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s “Billy Graham’s My Answer” webpage on Tuesday. (more…)

Was Osama a true Muslim or a radical Islamic extremist? / By Pr Daniel

Osama Bin LadenPastor DanielDear family and friends in Christ,

There has been much news in the media all over the world in the last few days regarding the death of Osama bin Laden.

This man who was driven by a very evil agenda and who managed to terribly change the world in some 10 years through violence and fear, has successfully put Islam on the global scene.

So, was he a radical Islamic extremist or was he a true Muslim who followed the Quran?? Click the following link to read a document and make up your mind as to whether this man followed the Quran or not??

https://reformationharvestfire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/we-must-care-for-australia.pdf

A true believer of any faith is a person who follows the fundamental doctrines of the faith, generally called a ‘fundamentalist’.

The question then needs to be asked, are there good Muslims? The answer is YES, of course.  However, they are not necessarily true Muslims according to Mohammed and the Quran.  Many Muslims have not read, nor follow the whole Quran, and prefer living a peaceful life.

E-News – A Warning of Intimidation – To Come?

Salt Shakers – 29th April 2011

The battle for Marriage continues here as it does elsewhere in the world – we knew it was going to be tough because too many have already compromised over the issue of homosexual relationships.

The illegitimacy of these unnatural relationships has been compromised by governments, Christians and Christians denominations across the world which have allowed the unnatural to be called natural despite all the evidence to the contrary.
 
In the last week, in the USA, the battle took another turn for the worst – President Obama has given so much ground that he will now NOT support an Act of Parliament which was passed by the overwhelming vote of both houses of Congress and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996 – DOMA – the Defence of Marriage Act.
 
The NEW Republican dominated House of Representatives in the USA hired a law firm to defend that Act in the Courts. Attached is a one page transcript of what have happened in the last few days – not from an ‘activist’ but from Albert Mohler, President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Reverend David Wilkerson’s Tragic Death

Reverend David WilkersonDear friends and family in Christ in Australia and around the World.

Following is the link to an article from Christian Broadcasting News (International Media Ministry of American Evangelist Pat Robertson) regarding the tragic death on Wednesday 27th April of our dear brother and Pastor David Wilkerson, the founder of Times Square Church in NY City and author of the well-known book ‘The Cross and the Switchblade”.

http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2011/April/Rev-David-Wilkerson-Killed-in-TX-Car-Crash/

Pr Daniel stated, “I was greatly saddened when I heard the news of brother David Wilkerson’s tragic death in a car accident. We all know that this man of God was a great hero and tremendous ambassador for our Lord Jesus Christ.

In today’s society, it’s very rare to find a Christian leader who has the guts to stand up for what he believes. Certainly, Pastor David Wilkerson was a man who always stood for the truth of the uncompromising Word of God, no matter the cost.

Victory for free speech

Judge orders Detroit transit to run AFDI/SIOA religious liberty bus ads

Detroit’s SMART transit system refused to run our AFDI/SIOA religious liberty bus ads, offering help for those in danger for leaving Islam; however, in an unusual victory for the freedom of speech, a judge has ordered the ads to run.

In “A Victory for Free Speech and Free People” in the American Thinker today, my colleague Pamela Geller gives the details:

In a notable victory for the freedom of speech, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled that Detroit’s SMART bus system must run my religious liberty bus ads offering help to people wishing to leave Islam safely, without having to live in fear.

Empowered to Act: Why Christians Should Change the World

Michael CravenWed, Mar. 16 2011 by S. Michael Craven | Christian Post Guest Columnist
 
The idea that Christians are to bring healing into the world-the restoration of people and the reformation of systems that hinder them-seems reasonable enough (in thought, anyway). It is certainly biblical. Reality, however, is another story.
 
The moment one ventures out into the world-either physically or through the lens of the media-you will no doubt be thrown back by the overwhelming suffering, injustice, and evil that frequently seems to rule the day. Islamic terrorists-an enemy with no intelligible goal other than destruction-remind us that evil is real, ruthless, and well-supplied with volunteers. Incomprehensible poverty in India, despotic regimes in the Middle East, and Mexican drug wars us that injustice still reigns throughout much of the world. Just recently, in my own community, a twenty-nine-year-old pastor was brutally murdered in his church and his sixty-seven-year-old female assistant was nearly beaten to death for a few dollars.

Are You a Sheep or a Goat in the Imperfect Church?

Thursday, 31 March 2011 – by Jennifer LeClaire of Charisma Magazine

You know the drill. It was the end of a long workday. I was racing from one errand to another before it was time to pick up my daughter for our dinner date. I didn’t have a moment to spare…

So when Richard, a disheveled character with enough sand on his face to nearly disguise the scar on his cheek, approached me asking for money to buy food, it took me a minute to catch on to what the Lord was doing. I honestly didn’t have as much as a penny in my pocket and apologetically told him so. After Richard walked on by, it suddenly dawned on me that I was standing in front of an ATM machine!

“Hey mister!” I cried out after him.

Richard turned around slowly as I raced up to him with my debit card in hand. We were standing in front of a Subway, so I invited him inside for a meal. Richard had a grateful heart, but also an aching one. He hugged and kissed me and thanked me profusely for the double meatball and tuna fish footlong sub—then he dropped the “S” bomb. Richard told me he wanted to kill himself.

“Brother, do you know where you’ll go when you die?”

Republicans launch bill to jail Muslims who follow Sharia law

Proposal: Republican Senator Bill Ketron, 57, has put forward a bill to make following some forms of Sharia law a crime punishable by a 15-year jail sentenceBy Daily Mail Reporter - 2nd March 2011

A conservative group has put together the boldest legal attempt yet to limit how Muslims worship in America.

The Tennessee group, led by Republican Senator Bill Ketron, 57, has proposed a bill to make following some versions of Sharia law a crime punishable by 15 years in jail.

They are concerned extremist Muslims want Sharia to supersede the Constitution, but the bill would probably face steep constitutional hurdles if it is enacted.

Heaven Is For Real—a Little Boy Shares His Experience “in Heaven”

Colton went to Heaven and came back to earthby Aimee Herd : Mar 16, 2011 : KWGN.com

“His experience in Heaven hasn’t changed [my] son, but because Colton was so young when it happened it has defined his life.” -Todd Burpo

Todd and Sonja Burpo of Imperial, Nebraska were visiting Colorado with their 3-year-old son Colton, when he began complaining of a stomach ache. Despite suggestions of possible appendicitis, he was dismissed, but returned to a hospital two days later, and was eventually rushed into surgery.

It was discovered that his appendix had burst some five days before he was finally diagnosed.

Now his life hung by a thread and his parents hit their knees in prayer. Miraculously, little Colton survived. And, after a couple of surgeries and a difficult recovery, their boy bounced back.

The Koran Riots in Afghanistan: An Indictment of All Islam

NewsReal ^ | April 1, 2011 | Rob Taylor

Posted on Saturday, April 02, 2011 by TheHawksNest

7 United Nations workers were murdered by a crowd of angry Muslims in Afghanistan during protests organized by religious leaders. The clerics drove through the city of Mazar-i-Sharif with loud speakers, demanding that Muslims “protest” the burning of a Koran by a Florida pastor.  Two of the UN workers were beheaded.

The leftist media here is placing the blame squarely on Koran burner Terry Jones while desperately clinging to the myth of the peaceful Muslim protest that “just got out of control”–no doubt hijacked by a that tiny minority of extremists the media thinks is responsible for over 1,000 years of Islamic Imperialism. But when the Left here makes excuses for Muslim barbarity they ignore reality and the internal drives of unreformed Islam that make Muslims predisposed to mayhem and violence.

There is no other religious group on Earth that murders and rapes more people whenever they feel attacked and insulted nor is there one that attacks and insults other religions as regularly. While the Muslims in Afghanistan murdered innocent people because one man in Florida burned a Koran, Saudi authorities tortured and arrested two Indian Christians for praying. During the arrest Saudi religious police trampled the victims’ Bibles and tore the holy books. (more…)

GLOBAL JIHAD – Former CIA chief warns: U.S. ‘at war’ with Shariah

Robert James WoolseyPosted: February 13, 2011 – By Les Kinsolving © 2011 WorldNetDaily 

Robert James Woolsey tells CPAC it’s not ‘Islamophobic’ to resist spread of Muslim law.

Robert James Woolsey, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, told a break-out session of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., that America needs to stop being so politically correct and realize it is “at war” with those who would spread Islamic, or Shariah, law.

“We have to understand that we are in a war here – certainly with the terrorists; certainly with Al Qaida; certainly with Hamas and Hezbollah,” Woolsey said. “We’re also at war, with no choice of our own, with those who want to, over the long run, impose Shariah [Islamic law] upon us.

“And it is one of the toughest fights we have ever had or will have,” he continued, “because Americans are used to religious liberty and not criticizing one another’s religions.” (more…)
