Truth Justice & The American Way

The Pope just signed a document that says “ non-Catholic Christian communities are either defective or not true churches”. The Pope goes on to say that “ other Christian communities such as Protestants ‘cannot be called ‘churches’ in the proper sense since they don’t have what’s known as apostolic succession- that is, the ability to trace bishops back to the original apostles of Jesus’” WORLDNETDAILY. This statement needs to be addressed but not the way most in other Christian communities will. They will bluster and harrumph but they won’t get to the truth of the matter. Well, that’s where I guess I come in.

As I looked through the headlines on World Net Daily my attention has been arrested by the Headline “China sweeping Christians out”. It seems that the Chinese government has decided that Christian missionaries aren’t worthy to stay in China before or during the Olympics so the Chinese government is expelling them.
So, let me see if I have this right, the whole Christian world is invited to China for the Olympics. But, to have the games all missionaries have to get out. Have I got that right? Now I have a problem with that and EVERY CHRISTIAN IN THE WORLD, should have the same problem

As I read about current events and watch the news on TV I get the distinct feeling that America is tearing itself apart needlessly.
What I mean by this is that the camps of Democrats, Liberals. Republicans, Noecons, atheists, Christians (of all flavors) are verbally attacking each other, blaming each other for the ills of the nation while the politicians fiddle

here are many superficial reasons given for a country to go to war. Some are to get more land, to advance democracy, to free an enslaved people, etc.. I will tell you there are only two reasons that nations go to war. One reason is to protect their way of life and the other is to advance their way of life. Greed and the lust for power drive the aggressor nations sense of duty drives the others. Both are proud of their countries. Both have to have a unified populace. Without the traits that prevail in both neither type of nation would survive.

America is missing the point! We are going down the toilet as a nation, that is true, but everybody is saying that it is President Bushes stupidity or Congress’s blindness or stupidity or ignorance. America’s focus has been too narrow. We have been thinking that it is because of ignorance but nobody has commented about the possibility that all this destruction has been planned over several administrations. Is this another conspiracy theory OR is this a fair appraisal of the actions of our present and past leaders? It is time you expanded your view.
There is a trend. I don’t know for sure if it started back when the Federal Reserve System was started or when FDR uncoupled the dollar from the gold standard or when Nixon uncoupled the dollar from the silver standard but over the past twenty five or so years there has been a literal flood of acts and laws that have taken the U.S. completely away from what it was and what it stood for into something ominous and threatening. Perhaps I am wrong and all of this is a result of very educated men and women not knowing economics 101 or ethics or biblical principles or constitutional law. Maybe they are ignorant of the facts concerning our perilous and tenuous oil supply. Maybe?
