Medical Pamphlet Distribution Halted


The Roman Catholic Altoona-Johnstown diocese has ordered a priest, John Nesbella,
[from the Prince of Peace parish in Northern Cambria] to stop distributing
a 7 page pamphlet authored by Paul Cameron, a sociologist who chairs the
Family Research Institute in Colorado Springs, Colo. The booklet is extremely
graphic in its descriptions of homosexual acts and declares the medical dangers
of such aberrant behavior. A spokeswoman for the Catholic church said the
priest was ordered to cease and desist because the "explicit nature of the
material might lead us to become part of the problem rather than part of
the solution." The booklet declares that types of gay intercourse "spread
hepatitis B, HIV syphilis and a host of other blood-borne diseases." The
pamphlet is titled
Medical
Consequences Of What Homosexuals Do
and may be read online at

Frankspeak    [From a story sent
by Diana Ladd]


Gen. Tommy Franks recently gave an interview to the magazine "Cigar Afficionado"
that appears in their December issue. The Purple Heart (x3)/Bronze Star (x3)
award winner, now retired from U.S. Central Command, told the magazine "the
worst thing that could happen”is a major terror attack which kills many.
Franks mused, “It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and
a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world
– it may be in the United States of America – that causes our
population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our
country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event.
Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two
steps, very, very important.” He is the first high-ranking official to openly
speculate that the Constitution could be scrapped in favor of a military
form of government.

Griswold Steps Down From Ecu-Board


Recently, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, received the
resignation of the presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (USA), Bishop
Frank Griswold, from his position as Anglican Co-chair of the Anglican-Roman
Catholic International Commission. Griswold stepped down due to the divisions
in his denomination over the homosexual issues. His letter was concluded
with "continuing prayer for the full and visible communion of the Anglican
and Roman Catholic churches, for the sake of our broken and divided world."
The "Most Revd" Peter Carnley, Primate of Australia, has been asked to fill
the post of co-chair.

GLA Death Penalty


Earlier this year in South Africa, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GLA) voted
(19-2) in favour of a name and identity change to the Death Penalty Party
of South Africa (DPP). The party's members continue to exist as the "lesbigay"
league of the newly formed DPP. The change was to gain membership and be
a stronger political force.

1941 - Japanese attack Pearl Harbor (a date that will live in infamy) when
some 400 planes attacked from 6Japanese carriers and freely bombed the harbor
and airfield. Naval intelligence thought such an attack improbable despite
earlier warnings and sightings. The devastating losses included 6 of the
8 battleships, 3 destroyers, and 7 other ships were sunk or severely damaged,
and more than half the island's aircraft were destroyed. A total of 2,400
Americans were killed and 1,200 were wounded. Japan's losses included 29
planes and 4 midget submarines. Credible information has surfaced increasingly
over the years that FDR and the US not only knew of the attack but intentionally
provoked it. US Naval Intelligence decoded Japanese military cables including
one the day prior so they knew what was coming. 40% of US planes were ordered
away from the base, an aircraft carrier and cruisers were also sent away.
Shipping routes for supplies were detoured to allow the Japanese fleet unhampered
entry. The Red Cross sent extra medical supplies in advance of the attack
-confirmed by the Hawaii chapters own records(Just like FEMA to NY the day
prior 9-11 disaster). President Roosevelt told a reporter prior the attack
that the American people would never agree to enter the war in Europe unless
they were attack within their own borders. The evening prior FDR returned
late to a White House dinner and announced that the war would start tomorrow
- they stayed all night at the Capital. For more info surf the net and you'll

Mel's Passion


During filming in a remote area of Italy earlier this year for the controversial
Mel Gibson film "The Passion of Christ," the actor who portrays Jesus, James
Caviezel, was struck during a lightning storm. The blast left Caviezel's
ears smoking. Also struck by the same bolt was assistant director Jan Michelini.
More interesting is the fact that Michelini had been struck at a previous
shoot for the film as well, in Matera, Italy where he suffered light burns
to his fingers after lightning hit his umbrella. None of the strikes created
a serious injury. Who says lightning never strikes twice?


Earlier this week, in a small basement cinema of Rome's Prati district, the
film was previewed by a select group of Catholic clergy. The Passion of the
Christ," will make its premiere on "the first day of the Catholic Lenten
observance", Feb. 25. See www.passion-movie.com.

Lent


"The celebration of Lent has no basis in Scripture,
but rather developed from the pagan celebration of Semiramis's mourning for
40 days over the death of Tammuz (cf. Ezek 8:14) before his alleged
resurrection---another of Satan's mythical counterfeits."
(John MacArthur,
Jr., The MacArthur New Testament Commentary: 1 Corinthians, Chicago: Moody,
1984)


"'It ought to be known,' said Cassianus, the monk of
Marseilles, writing in the fifth century, and contrasting the primitive Church
with the Church in his day, 'that the observance of forty days had no existence,
so long as the perfection of that primitive Church remained inviolate.' Whence,
then, came this observance? The forty days abstinence of Lent was directly
borrowed from the worshippers of the Babylonian goddess."
[The Two
Babylons (Or The Papal Worship), Alexander Hislop, 1916, Neptune, NJ, Loizeaux
Brothers, Inc., p.104]

Boston Strangler


In an attempt to gain money to pay the $85 million settlement to victims
of clergy sex abuse, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston placed a for
sale sign on the archbishop's mansion which sits on some 27 acres. The property
was recently assessed at nearly $14 to $20 million. The tragic part of it
all is that, even though Archbishop O'Malley promised that no collection
plate money would be used to pay the debt, the most interested buyer is Boston
College, a Jesuit university located across the street. Hey, Its all in the
family.


The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and St. John's Seminary were mortgaged for
$75 million and added to a $15 million loan from the clergy retirement fund
to secure bank loans so the archdiocese can get the settlement money upfront
while they wait to sell off the archbishop's mansion and other properties.

No, You're Fired


In Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Rev. Filip Velisavljevic, a Serbian Orthodox priest,
has been convicted of assault and reckless endangerment for aiming a gun
at Church of the Holy Resurrection of Christ council president Frederick
Pantelich. In December of 2002, an argument began in an apparent power struggle
that ensued after the priest was asked by the council to resign. During the
tussle, the gun went off grazing the priests own foot. According to an AP
report, Velisavljevic also faces a civil lawsuit in which the council alleges
he took at least $5,800 in religious items from the church, and that he
defrauding the church of about $10,000.

Random Thoughts ...          
by Frank Olive


There is this New England farmer, he has in his possession his great
grandfathers axe. 


Of course the handle has been replaced 4 times and the head twice.


Is it still his great grandfathers axe?


In terms of Truth Once Delivered, do we possess the original ax?


"That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot,
or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish,"
Ephesians 5:27.


Most of us have watched some sort of sport one time or another played with
a ball. What is the sequence involved in most instances?


1. You receive the ball.


2. Once in your possession you hold it fast, ever moving forward, eyes on
the goal.


Thereare those that in misguided understanding just can't seem to move forward
because they are HOLDING FAST.


There are those that in misguided understanding just can't seem to hold
fast because they are MOVING FORWARD.


Yet scripture PLAINLY teaches that we are running a RACE, should keep our
eyes on the GOAL, promising a REWARD for those that ENDURE TILL
THE END. All this, with instructions to HOLD FAST. 



"But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My
name, He shall teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that
I said unto you," John 14:26, R.V."Even the spirit of truth; whom the world
cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him," John 14:17.


By this "SPIRIT OF TRUTH"  it is "REVEALED" that to which
we are to "HOLD FAST".


"But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of God," I Corinthians 2:10.


Never be deceived there are not "WORKS" to do.


"And by works was faith made perfect," James 2:22, last part of the verse.


Does it make any difference what we believe if we are truly SINCERE?


"God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification
of the Spirit and belief of the truth," II Thessalonians 2:13; Joshua 24:14.


You were chosen to salvation by THE ETERNAL, through sanctification
and "BELIEF IN THE TRUTH"! 


Not misguided belief!


So it seems that indeed it matters if we possess the original axe.

666 = The Number of the Name


Re 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all
the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which
dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven
on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the
earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight
of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make
an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And
he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship
the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small
and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right
hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and
six.


Clarification: The number 666 is NOT THE MARK...it is the NUMBER of A MAN...
A NUMBER of his NAME. John Paul II has recently affirmed the Papal title,
"Vicarius Filii Dei"-- The Vicar of the Son of the God. This a blasphemous
title. Christ does not need a vicar, and Heaven has not so designated any
man. This title, "Vicarius Filii Dei" is etched in the Papal mitre which
every pope wears. The numerical equivalent of this Latin title, using Roman
numerals known to most CoG'ers, is 666. Please note the following:


V=5, I=1, C=100, A = no value, R = no value, I=1, U=5, S =no value


F = no value, I =1, L= 50, I =1, I=1


D = 500, E =no value, I = 1


TOTAL -- 666


The Scripture says 666 is the number of a man. Every pope is a man, and every
pope bears this title. Thus both the individual Pope, and the institution
of the Papacy are marked out in scripture as the bearer of this number 666.


A few more for you to consider.....


LUDOVICUS ... translated means Vicar of the Court


L=50, U= 5, D = 500, O = no value, V = 5, I = 1, C = 100, U = 5 , S = no
value = 666


In the Greek Language we see that: "Latéinos" is Greek for "Latin
Kingdom" or "the Latin speaking man" ==> L=30,+A=1,+T=300,+E=5,
+I=10,+N=50,+O=70,+S=200 = 666


"Virgil . . . showed that Lateinos, to whom the Romans or Latin race traced
back the lineage, was represented with a glory around his head, to show he
was a 'child of the Sun' - a symbol of devil worship (Hislop, pp.269-270).


"Italika Ekklesia" is Greek for "Church of Italian" ==>
(I=10,+T=300,+A=1,+L=30,+I=10,+K=20,+A=1) +
(E=5,+K=20,+K=20,+L=30,+E=8,+S=200,+I=10,+A=1) = 666


"Apostates "=Apostates = A = 1 alpha , P = 80, O = 70 omicron, ST = 6, A
= 1 alpha, T = 300 tau, E = 8 eta, S = 200 sigma = 666


"He Latine Basileia" is Greek for "Latin Church" ==> (H=0 +E= +
(L=30,+A=1,+T=300,+I=10,+N=50,+E = + (B=2,+A=1,+S=200,+I=10,+L=30,+E=5,+I=10,+
A=1) = 666


In The Hebrew... "ROMIITH" means the Roman Kingdom = => R = 200 resh,
O = 6 waw (vav), M = 40 mem, I = 10 yodm, I = 10 yod, TH = 400 taw = 666


"ROMITI" means the Roman Man is ==> R=200 resh, O =6 waw (vav), M=40 mem,
I =10 yod, T =400 taw, I =10 yod = 666


"Stürn" or "STUR" in Chaldee (Babylonian) is the original name of Rome
itself (or Saturnia, 'the city of Saturn'.) Using Arameen numerals we'll
get ==> S=60,+T=400,+U=6,+R=200 = 666


When the Pope signs his name as Captain of the Clergy, it is "DVX CLERI"
If you add up the Roman numerals D=500, V=5, X=10, C=100,L=50, I=1, the total
is 666 ....the number of the name of the beast.

Two new titles by Steven M.Collins


2.) "Origins & Empire Of Ancient Israel" A fresh look at the early history
of Israel, with special emphasis on the little-known and immensely important
events that helped to shape our modern world. Here is the untold story of
Israel's sojourn in Egypt and evidence that God's People visited distant
lands in Europe and America in ancient times. The central theme of this book
is the Biblical Covenant which God made with the Patriarchs and their
descendants. Over 100 maps, charts, and illustrations; 20 pages of comprehensive
indexes. Softcover 6x9 inches, 296 pages (280+xvi)A book you will treasure!


3.) "Israel's Lost Empires". Was ancient Israel a land-locked nation or a
seacoast trading empire? Not only did King David's land empire stretch clear
across the Mid-East to Mesopotamia, but Israel boasted a navy rivaling the
famed Phoenicians, and in fact dominated them. Hebrew ships plied the
Mediterranean, establishing colonies along the European and North African
coasts. Israel's influence in the ancient city-state of Carthage has never
before been so thoroughly documented, nor her definite presence in early
Britain. New evidence is presented also suggesting that her ships visited
the North American continent, as well. Softcover 9 x 6 inches. 296 pages
each (280 + xvi) Over 100 maps & illustrations. Full-color original cover
art. 20 pages of comprehensive indexes (persons, places, and subjects).
