Proof The Bible Is True

03/16/19   The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has again dealt a blow to a legal challenge by the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) as it ruled for the second time on Friday that tax-free housing allowances for pastors do not violate the U.S. Constitution.   “We conclude § 107(2) has a secular legislative purpose, its principal effect is neither to endorse nor to inhibit religion, and it does not cause excessive government entanglement,” wrote Judge Michael Brennan, nominated to the bench by President Trump, on behalf of the unanimous three-judge panel.   “Here, ‘[t]here is no genuine nexus [More]

03/12/19   Western forces are trying to use Christianity to influence China’s society and even ‘subvert’ the government, a senior official said, warning that Chinese Christians needed to follow a Chinese model of the religion.   China’s constitution guarantees religious freedom, but since President Xi Jinping took office six years ago, the government has tightened restrictions on religions seen as a challenge to the authority of the ruling Communist Party.   The government has cracked down on underground churches, both Protestant and Catholic, even as it seeks to improve relations with the Vatican.   Read More: China official says West [More]

02/27/19   The Alliance Defending Freedom is a household name for many who been have followed religious liberty cases in recent years.   A multiple-time winner at the U.S. Supreme Court, the organization takes on cases such as the blatant intolerance by Colorado for the Christian faith of Masterpiece baker Jack Phillips.   It also organizes campaigns each year to affirm the free speech rights of pastors.   And it has a special division, the ADF Church Alliance, which focuses on the threats facing churches in America.   There are seven significant current threats, according to John Harding of ADF, who warns that churches [More]

“Just reveals the totalitarian nature of both Germany and the EU. They want all kids to be indoctrinated with their socialist values, the Christian parents wishes are irrelevant.”  Admin   The European Court of Human Rights has issued a ruling supporting a decision by German authorities to demand parents relinquish their children to state socialization in public schools, accompanied by the right of government to remove those children – through methods including police battering-ram assaults on the family home – to make sure that happens.   The stunning verdict comes in the case involving the Wunderlich family, on whose trials [More]

01/06/19   Christianity in China (#39 on the World Watch List) has always lived in tension. Though the Communist Party of China has habitually restricted the freedom of Christians to worship over the last 70 years, the skyrocketing growth of the Chinese church is impossible to miss.   Even non-Christian observers have taken notice, with many outlets putting the true number of Christians in China at tens of millions more than the Chinese government officially recognizes. In China, churches include registered state churches that are regulated by the government; covert unregistered “underground” house churches; and unregistered or underground house churches [More]

12/05/18   Sixty-eight percent of Democrats say employers should grant a request for prayer space by Muslims — but only 45 percent say employers should grant a similar request by Christian employees, says a survey by Grinnell College.   In contrast to the Democrats’ 23-point anti-Christian bias, the November poll showed only a ten point gap in response from conservatives.   Thirty percent of Republicans say employers should provide a prayer space for Muslim employees and 40 percent say employers should support a similar service for Christians, according to the Grinnell College poll of roughly 500 people.   The same poll showed a [More]

12/04/18   Late last month, Ramin Parsa, a Christian pastor who fled Iran as a religious refugee, was arrested for privately sharing his faith testimony in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. He fled persecution in Iran and Turkey, only to find persecution in the land of the free and the home of the brave.   “I came to the U.S. as a political and religious — as a Christian — refugee. They oppressed me for my faith in Iran. I was stabbed in Iran,” Parsa told PJ Media in an interview on Tuesday. Then last week, he was [More]

“Jesus called God His Father but the archbishop apparently thinks he knows God better than Jesus does! Is it any wonder the Church of England’s membership numbers are plunging.”  Admin   Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said that God is “not male nor female,” after female bishops demanded the Church of England stop referring to God solely as “he.”   The head of the worldwide Anglican communion told attendees at a lecture at St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square: “All human language about God is inadequate and to some degree metaphorical.   “God is not a father in exactly the same [More]

10/5/18 The Turkish government spends hundreds of millions of dollars building mosques as part of a long-term effort to promote Islam around the world. Many Muslims hope that new mosques throughout Europe will advance and facilitate their wish to spread Islam to non-Islamic countries and persuade the Christian “infidels” to abandon their faith in favor of Islam.   On September 29, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan inaugurated Turkey’s latest European mosque, “The Cologne Central Mosque,” located in the Cologne, Germany.   The Turkish government-funded Anadolu Agency reported on September 25:   The Cologne Central Mosque, built by Turkish-Islamic Union for [More]

10/03/18 It’s no secret that living in China as a Christian is extremely difficult, as the government openly persecutes Christians.  Part of the reason the Chinese government has so much disdain for Christianity is that it is not compatible with communism, the Christian Post reported.   In order to further combat the growing “threat” of Christianity, the Chinese government has announced a five-year plan to regulate Christianity in China. Part of this plan includes rewriting the Bible, as well as forcing church congregants to sing specific, communist-based, hymns in their church services.   CHILLING: China Takes Extreme Measures to Wipe [More]

“As the left and it’s propaganda mouthpiece, the MSM, become more vicious and intolerant we can expect such attacks to increase.”  Admin   09/18/17   White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been targeted by establishment media outlets not only because of the messaging she provides on behalf of President Trump. It’s also because of her strong Christian faith.   WND columnist Mychal Massie wrote recently, “God-fearing righteous women are not threatened by the likes of those who mocked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and those who thought it was OK to do so.   “Truly independent women who strive to honor [More]

09/17/18   “Is it any wonder the attendance of the Church of England has been plummeting.” Admin   A female bishop has told the Church of England to stop referring to God solely as male, equating gendering the deity to websites only showing white people.   After a YouGov poll found that half of young Christians see God — referred to in the Bible as ‘father’, including in Jesus Christ’s ‘Lord’s Prayer’ — as male, the first female bishop Rt Revd Rachel Treweek, bishop of Gloucester, said that she was concerned that the Church was not being “mindful of language”.

“There are two articles on this situation with pastor Song, one following the other, I recommend reading both.”  Admin   09/16/18   Islamic militants hijacked a prison chaplain’s Bible classes and physically assaulted and abused him because of his Christian faith.   Pastor Paul Song today describes how he was left in a state of near- constant fear after Muslim gangs, acting with impunity, came to dominate Brixton Prison in South London.

09/11/18   The Chinese government’s campaign to “Sinicize” organized religion – to make religion completely subordinate to the Communist Party – grew more aggressive this year and featured the destruction of Bibles, crosses, and entire churches.   Religious freedom activists call it the worst crackdown on Christianity since religious freedom was nominally granted by the 1982 Chinese constitution.   A Fox News report on Monday linked the crackdown with Communist Party leader Xi Jinping’s ascension to dictatorial power and the fulfillment of worst-case fears expressed by underground Christian leaders when Beijing began using government-controlled churches to co-opt the religion:   [More]

08/13/18   The British government appears recently to have decided that it would like to give the impression that it cares about persecuted Christians. Prime Minister Theresa May said in Parliament on July 18:   “As a Government we stand with persecuted Christians all over the world and will continue to support them. It is hard to comprehend that today we still see people being attacked and murdered because of their Christianity, but we must reaffirm our determination to stand up for the freedom of people of all religions and beliefs and for them to be able to practise their [More]

  07/24/18   Over 70 police officers, along with a team of construction workers, tore down Liangwang Catholic Church in China’s Shandong province on July 17. What makes this case even more alarming is Lianwang is a state-sanctioned church. Those congregations that have been stamped with a seal of government approval usually escape persecution from the staunchly atheist governing party.   Three church caretakers, Gao Rongli, Zhang Siling and Li Xiangmei, who were inside the church when authorities arrived, were kicked out of the building and had their phones confiscated and destroyed. The church was razed to the ground in [More]

This brings the death toll of Christians to more than 6,000 since the start of 2018.   According to a joint statement by the Christian Association, an umbrella group of various Christian denominations, “There is no doubt that the sole purpose of these attacks is aimed at ethnic cleansing, land grabbing and forceful ejection of the Christian natives from their ancestral land and heritage.”   The statement condemned the [More]
