Italy: Mohammed called a ‘paedophile’ in TV spat

adnkronosinternational – Culture And Media – 15th November

Milan, 9 Nov. (AKI) – Italian feminist and former far right-wing MP Daniela Santanche has sparked a controversy after calling the Prophet Mohammed a “a polygamist and paedophile” during a TV debate. Santanche appeared on a television programme aired on the commercial channel, Canale 5 with the president of Milan’s Islamic centre, Ali Abu Schwaima, on Sunday.

“Mohammed was a polygamist and a paedophile because he had nine wives, one of whom was only nine years old, that is a historical fact,” said Santanche.

Buffet at CTFM Christmas DinnerDear family & friends in Christ,

1) What a glorious weekend of rejoicing in the Spirit of the Lord it was, as we at CTFM thank God for His mighty hand at work in the lives of His people once again!

The past few days was a great time of fun and fellowship at the CTFM annual Christmas dinner party, in addition to the Holy Spirit fire and healing services in Melbourne where the mighty power of God was manifested to continue to deliver two woman who were once involved in witchcraft and Satanism!

On Saturday night at the CTFM Christmas dinner at the Mulgrave Country Club, around 100 members from the ministry team had a fantastic time of celebrating the wonderful things the Lord has done in 2009. Over this past year the Lord has tremendously grown the team in numbers and most importantly in the Spirit and Word of God. Pastor Daniel personally acknowledged every member in the team and handed them a token of appreciation. The night was filled with the singing of Christmas carols, special praise and worship items, many speeches, much fun & entertainment.

Copenhagen climate summit in disarray after ‘Danish text’ leak

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents. John Vidal in Copenhagen – guardian.co.uk – Tuesday 8 December 2009

Developing countries react furiously to leaked draft agreement that would hand more power to rich nations, sideline the UN’s negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol

 The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents.

The UN Copenhagen climate talks are in disarray today after developing countries reacted furiously to leaked documents that show world leaders will next week be asked to sign an agreement that hands more power to rich countries and sidelines the UN’s role in all future climate change negotiations.

The document is also being interpreted by developing countries as setting unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050; meaning that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much under the proposals.

The so-called Danish text, a secret draft agreement worked on by a group of individuals known as “the circle of commitment” – but understood to include the UK, US and Denmark – has only been shown to a handful of countries since it was finalised this week. (more…)

EVANGELISM TO BE MADE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE IN RUSSIA

Source: Intercessors Network

Legislation introduced this month threatens to make evangelism nearly impossible in Russia. “Only religious groups registered for at least 15 years will be allowed to engage in evangelistic or missionary activity,” says Bob Provost of Slavic Gospel Association. “If an overseas church were to send a youth group over to help with a summer camp (which happens a lot), or if they were to send over a music group to help with evangelistic activity, it would not be allowed. The legislation also outlaws local churches from missionary activity within hospitals, orphanages, or homes for the aged.

Rudd’s Hair

Andrew Bolt of Herald Sun on Friday August 14, 2009

Michael Smith‘s editorial on 4BC yesterday seemed to go down very well:

Here’s a way to understand Mr Rudd’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.

Imagine 1 kilometre of atmosphere that we want to rid of human carbon pollution.  We’ll have a walk along it.  The first 770 metres are Nitrogen.  The next 210 metres are Oxygen.  That’s 980 metres of the 1 kilometre.  20 metres to go.  The next 10 metres are water vapour.  10 metres left.  9 metres are argon.  Just 1 more metre.  A few gases make up the first bit of that last metre.  The last 38 centimetres of the kilometre – that’s carbon dioxide.  A bit over one foot.  97% of that is produced by Mother Nature.  It’s natural.   Out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left.  About half an inch.  Just over a centimetre.  That’s the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere.  And of those 12 millimetres Australia puts in .18 of a millimetre.  Less than the thickness of a hair.  Out of a kilometre.

As a hair is to a kilometre – so is Australia’s contribution to what Mr Rudd calls Carbon Pollution.  (more…)

Abbott and another Costello – Abbott’s high calling

The Australian December 01, 2009 – Drew Warne-Smith and Natasha Robinson

A WEEK ago, when Tony Abbott determined to run for the opposition leadership, he did what he has always done at a critical juncture in his life: he rang Emmet Costello.

A “somewhat retired” 85-year-old Jesuit priest, Costello was formerly the chaplain at St Ignatius College Riverview, on Sydney’s north shore, where Abbott was schooled.

And for the past 35 years he has remained Abbott’s mentor and closest confidant; a man he credits as “the most important male influence on my life” apart from his father.

“Tony rang and said, I’m going for it; I’m going for the leadership, and could you remember me in your prayers,” Costello told The Australian yesterday.

“I said, don’t worry about that, I’ll storm Heaven for you. God can’t say no to me!”

Ahmadinejad: Obama Must Choose Iran or Israel

Iranian President Mahmoud AhmadinejadFriday, 13 November 2009 – ICEJ
  
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said President Barack Obama must choose between Israel and Iran. The comment was made Tuesday in Istanbul during an economic address before the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference.

“The support of both Israel and Iran can’t go hand in hand. No change is made unless great choices are made,” said Ahmadinejad. “We will clasp any hand that is extended sincerely toward us, but changes should be made in practice.”

During a briefing at the Middle East Institute in Washington, Undersecretary of State William Burns responded to the remarks: “We seek a relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We do not seek regime change. We have condemned terrorist attacks against Iran.

A mighty weekend of Holy Spirit Fire in Melbourne/ Hindu lady accepts Jesus and removes all idols from her home

Removing and destroying idolsDear family & friends in Christ,

1) All glory to the Lord Jesus Christ as the Spirit of God continues to move mightily in response to our desperate hunger for Him!  We only need to welcome Him and give Him all the time He needs at our services to do what He wants to do! Unfortunately, in a 1 hr 30 minute service there’s not enough time for Him to move and minister amongst the children of God! However, at our CTFM meetings we let the Holy Spirit have His way throughout the 3-4 hour services as He always moves mightily in healing, delivering, and setting people free at every single meeting!

Over the weekend several hundred desperate Christian worshippers gathered at Hallam (Melbourne) to soak and press deeper into the manifest presence of God. All glory to our loving Father in heaven as everyone present was mightily touched by the Spirit of the Lord. Some even drove 4-5 hours to get a drink from the rising river of God’s awesome presence. One thing I am beginning to see is that much of the pew (just normal people with no profile) is becoming desperate for more of Jesus while many pulpits are trying to control the sovereign move of God’s Holy Spirit, partly because of denominational structures which often hinder the Spirit of God from moving in the local church.

We must let go of the reign of the Christ’s Church and let Him have His way as we worship Him in Spirit and Truth. I am sure everyone wants to see revival, but unfortunately it will not come if we Christian leaders try to control the move of God’s Holy Spirit.

Revolution the new spirit of the Libs’ true fightback

Herald Sun – 27th November 2009 – Andrew Bolt

MALCOLM Turnbull is gone and all but buried. In a stunning revolt, the Liberals grassroots are reclaiming a party hijacked by a leader of the Left.

Turnbull’s leadership was finally shot dead by frontbencher Tony Abbott and the Liberals’ Senator leader, Nick Minchin.

Both told Turnbull he had to reconsider the decision that he (falsely) claimed the party took on Wednesday – to back Rudd’s colossal emissions tax to “stop” global warming.

When Turnbull refused, Abbott quit. Minchin will, too, rather than vote for a tax he knows is a fraud.

That triggered a mass resignation of other frontbenchers, enraged not only by Turnbull’s deceit, but determined to overturn his decision as well.

What’s telling is how the collapse of Turnbull’s leadership has shocked most mainstream political commentators. (more…)

Oprah or Jesus: Who’s right?- Evangelical author Josh McDowell takes on theology of media icon

Oprah Winfrey - New Age / False ProphetPosted on WorldNetDaily on October 04, 2009

DALLAS, Texas – “One of the mistakes that human beings make is believing that there is only one way to live, and we don’t accept that there are diverse ways to being in the world. There are many paths to what you call God.”

Oprah Winfrey said it. And when she did, many Americans who love Oprah believed it. But one of the best-selling living evangelical authors, Josh McDowell, is not about to sit back and let that statement go unchallenged.

The result is a very unusual book – both in Christian publishing and in the world of secular literature.

Get your autographed copy of “O God” exclusively from the team that published it – WND Books and the WND Superstore.

It’s called “O God: A Dialogue on Truth and Oprah’s Spirituality” – and its official debut in bookstores nationwide comes tomorrow.

“As Christian apologists who believe that salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone, we wanted to create a fictional, almost Socratic dialogue that would cover many of the themes of Oprah Winfrey’s spiritual teaching in recent years,” explain McDowell and co-author Dave Sterrett in their preface.
