Indian Courts Order Facebook, Google to Remove ‘Religiously Offensive’ Material
The Christian Post – Jan. 03 2012
One court in Delhi issued summons to the tech companies to stand trial for offences relating to distributing obscene material to minors, after it was shown images deemed offensive to Hindus, Muslims and Christians, reported Reuters. Another Delhi court earlier reportedly ordered the companies to remove photographs, videos or text which might hurt people’s religious sentiments.
The websites were given until Feb. 6 to remove the “anti-religious” content, according to other sources.
“The accused in connivance with each other and other unknown persons are selling, publicly exhibiting and have put into circulation obscene, lascivious content,” government representative said in court, as quoted by Reuters.
In response, a Google spokesman reportedly told the agency: “We believe that access to information is the foundation of a free society.”
“Where content is illegal or breaks our terms of service we will continue to remove it,” he added.
A New Accursed Religion – CHRISLAM
Nov 8th 2011 – 
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
Behold Your New Religion, America:
Chrislam is an attempt to synchronize Christianity with Islam. While it began in Nigeria, Chrislamic ideas have spread throughout much of the world. The essential concept of Chrislam is that Christianity and Islam are compatible, that one can be a Christian and a Muslim at the same time. Chrislam is not formally a religion of its own, but rather a blurring of the differences and distinctions between Christianity and Islam.
Advocates of Chrislam point to facts such as Jesus being mentioned 25 times in the Qur’an, or Christianity and Islam having similar teachings on morals and ethics, or the need for the two largest monotheistic religions to unite to fight against the rise of atheism and alternative spirituality. Chrislam is viewed by some as the solution for the ongoing conflict between the Western world, which is predominantly Christian, and the Middle East, which is predominantly Muslim.
While it is undeniable that there are many similarities between Christianity and Islam (and Judaism for that matter), Chrislam ultimately fails because Christianity and Islam are diametrically opposed on the most important of issues – the identity of Jesus Christ. True Christianity declares Jesus to be God incarnated in human form. For Christians, the deity of Christ is a NON-NEGOTIABLE, for without His deity, Jesus’ death on the cross would not have been sufficient to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the entire world (1 John 2:2).

4 powerful healing testimonies at CTFM / Tumor disappears
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
We thank and praise God for another wonderful weekend in His Almighty Presence!
Yesterday Sunday 8th Jan was testimony time at our morning service at CTFM as many people shared their amazing testimonies in giving God all the glory for the great things He has done! People listening to these testimonies were mighty blessed. Sunday night was another glorious service with many who were gathered responding to the altar call ‘To go all the way for Jesus’! This service was also webcast live as many watched all across Australia and overseas.
1) One young woman boldly got up and shared her testimony of how she was raped 3 times and that the 3rd time she was almost strangled to death. That it is only by the grace of God that she is still alive. There was pin drop silence in the congregation. Then she said how God had used her to save two young girls aged 13 & 18 who were raped and had attempted suicide several times. Through her testimony and love the 2 young girls are doing well. Glory to God. Everyone was mightily impacted by her testimony.
Following are three additional powerful testimonies.
2) Testimony of Barry Willis 29-12-2011
In September 2011 I was admitted to hospital with severe pain on my left side, and on examination they discovered a LUMP pressing on the Urethar tube (which joins the kidney to the bladder), it was stopping the flow. They then inserted a STENT to widen the tube releasing the flow once again and relieving the pain, but the stent was only a temporary measure, which meant that the stent would need to be replaced after 3 months whilst they tried to discover what the lump was.

Respect for the House of God
by Dr. Larry Ollison
I come from a Baptist background. As a child, I attended church with my parents every Wednesday and Sunday – morning and night. My parents made sure I participated in all the church functions, both spiritually and socially. I was in the church bell choir and sang with various musical quartets. As a child, attending church was not an option. My father never considered what I had done the day before or what I had to do the next day. How I felt was irrelevant. On Sunday morning we went to church.
Recently, I asked a husband and wife how their child was doing because I hadn’t seen him at church for a while. Their response startled me. They said, “He hasn’t been wanting to come lately.” I thought to myself, Who’s the parent in this household? Those same parents do not allow their child to decide whether or not he goes to school. They require school attendance, regardless. However, they let him choose whether or not he attends church. Without realizing it, those parents are instilling in that child the thought that education is important, but God isn’t.
Likewise, when children are required to show respect for teachers at school, but not required to show respect for elders at church, it also sends the wrong message. (more…)
Churchgoers More Likely to Be Optimistic, Report Says
The Christian Post Sat, Nov. 12 2011 By Anugrah Kumar | Christian Post Contributor
Those who attend religious services regularly are 56 percent more likely to have an optimistic view of life and 27 percent less likely to have depression than those who don’t, a study by Yeshiva University in Manhattan suggests.
Published in the current issue of the Journal of Religion and Health, the Women’s Health Initiative observational study is based on a survey of 92,539 post-menopausal women from diverse backgrounds and over the age of 50. This group was chosen as women generally live longer than men, and seniors are a growing group.
“We looked at the religious practices of nearly 100,000 women and – like it or not – found a strong connection between going to church or synagogue or any other house of worship and a positive outlook on life,” Medical News Today quoted Eliezer Schnall, an associate professor of psychology at Yeshiva University who headed the research, as saying.

Jesus’ name ruled ‘unconstitutional’ – Judge says prayers to Christ ‘do violence to America’s pluralistic, inclusive values
FAITH UNDER FIRE – World Net Daily – By Drew Zahn © 2011
A board of county commissioners in North Carolina is asking the Supreme Court for help: Its members don’t believe they should have to forbid volunteers from mentioning the name of Jesus in prayers offered before their meetings.
But the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State are standing by their victory in a U.S. circuit court decision that states even “a solitary reference to Jesus Christ” in invocations before the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners’ meetings could do “violence to the pluralistic and inclusive values that are a defining feature of American public life.”
Furthermore, wrote Judge James Harvie Wilkinson III in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals majority opinion, legislative invocations offered in Jesus’ name are inherently “sectarian” and thus should be censored lest they make some attendees feel “uncomfortable, unwelcome and unwilling to participate in … public affairs.”

But the board disagrees, and with the help of the Alliance Defense Fund is asking the Supreme Court to trump Wilkinson’s ruling. (more…)
Hillary Clinton goes off-script, suggests that Islamic governments fear religious debat
Posted by Robert on December 15, 2011 12:16 PM
Off the cuff, Hillary says things that are likely to get her in dutch with the boss. “Hillary Clinton suggests Islamic governments fear religious debate,” by Neil Munro in The Daily Caller, December 15:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used an international conference on religious freedom Wednesday as a platform to suggest that Islamic governments which suppress Christianity are secretly afraid Islam will lose out in a public debate.
“Every one of us who is a religious person knows there are some who may not support or approve of our religion, but is our religion so weak that statements of disapproval cause us to lose our faith?” she asked the attendees, who included national representatives from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
“Especially when one person’s speech seems to challenge another person’s religion’s belief, or maybe even offends that person’s religious beliefs … we defend our beliefs best by defending free speech for everyone,” she said, while citing her own experience as a Methodist — a Christian movement made up of many Protestant denominations, and where debate is common.
