‘Satanic Temple’ Joins Planned Parenthood in Pro-Abortion Crusade

abortion_reuters-640x479In the face of growing pressure on Planned Parenthood after revelations that it was selling human body parts, the Satanic Temple has launched a pro-abortion crusade to come to the aid of America’s largest abortion provider.

The Satanic Temple, an organization that combats Christian influence in American society, has staged a series of counter-protests at pro-life rallies and filed a lawsuit against the state of Missouri on behalf of one of its members who had to wait 72 hours to get an abortion due to Missouri state law.

According to reports, legislators have passed nearly 300 abortion restrictions in the past five years, resulting in the closing of “hundreds of clinics.”  Continue reading…

Bishops urge Church of England to rethink Bible & homosexuality

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. © Neil HalTwo leading bishops from the Church of England say it’s “time to change the church” and reconsider interpretations of the Bible which condemn homosexuality as a sin.

Bayes says he has been “profoundly changed” by encounters with lesbian and gay Christians in recent years, including within his own family.

He says the “hard fact is that the Church has played, and still plays, no small part in bruising and breaking” LGBT Christians.  Continue reading…

Pope Francis Meets With Evangelical, Pentecostal Leaders in John 17 Spirit (Interview)

geoff-tunnicliffe-pope-francisPope Francis and several prominent Evangelical and Pentecostal leaders met in Rome last Friday to discuss areas of mutual agreement and where they respectfully disagreed. The aim of the gathering, which had no official agenda, was to build unity between Christian traditions that have historic enmity.

The Rev. Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe, former secretary general of the World Evangelical Alliance and chairman of the Advisory Board of Christian Media Corporation, said in an interview with The Christian Post Tuesday, that there was a John 17 spirit during the two meetings he had with Pope Francis. Tunnicliffe noted that formal meetings with the pope are often said to last only 30 minutes but one informal meeting with Francis and Evangelical and Charismatic leaders lasted over two hours. Those at the gathering sensed the presence of God, according to Tunnicliffe, and a unity of the Spirit as their discussions focused on Jesus Christ even as they talked about theological differences. Continue reading…

The author is the 42nd president of the United States. rtx25hbp-e1466026926539

Earlier this week, nearly 1,000 leaders representing businesses, labor unions, foundations, community groups, and government at every level spent three days together in Atlanta, Georgia. Out of their wide variety of priorities and political beliefs they discovered shared interests and initiated projects to drive growth and create good jobs across America.

All of this progress took place at the sixth annual Clinton Global Initiative America meeting. CGI America began with the idea that, for all our interesting differences, we Americans still have much more in common and can accomplish much more for our country by working together than by knocking each other down.  Continue reading…

How can the US counter religious extremism?

capitol_at_sunset_credit_vgm8383_via_flickr_cc_by_nc_20_cnaDespite secularization in some countries, “the world is becoming more religious” and the United States needs to factor this into its foreign policy, one religious freedom expert said Thursday.

“The reality, whether someone likes it or doesn’t like it, is that the world is becoming more religious, not less religious,” Dr. Robert George, former chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, told CNA in a June 16 interview on Thursday.

This refutes “secularization theory,” the sociological belief that “as modernization moves forward, religion will retreat, as people learn more about science they become less interested in religion,” George explained.  Continue reading…

lgbtqi20blogTo the friends, families, and neighbors of the victims in Orlando: We, the global community of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, are with you.

We are – without qualification – with you. We grieve with you. We feel anger with you. We love you. Our prayers are with you.

Pope Francis with judges at the Vatican: The Church must get involved in greater politics

pope-judgesThe Pope held a meeting at the Vatican with a hundred judges from around the world. They participated in the Summit of Judges on human trafficking and organized crime that brought together legal experts to analyze this scourge and seek to combat it.
Pope Francis praised the work of judges who often work under pressure and threats. So he told them that they are called to bring hope to how  justice works so that injustice does not have the last word.
He also condemned the traffickers whom he described as “the new slave hunters.”
POPE FRANCIS
“Victims are often betrayed even in the most intimate and sacred ways a person can be violated, that is, in love they aspire to give and take and that her family owes or who promise their suitors or husbands who instead end up selling them on the black market forcing them into hard labor, prostitution or sale of organs.”
Pope Francis explained that the Church is also called on to engage in the field of politics and again requested the abolition of the death penalty.
Then the pope signed a declaration in which the signatories make a number of proposals to end modern-day slavery. Among these measures, he asked to use the assets seized from traffickers in the rehabilitation and compensation of victims, the punishment of clients of sexual services or prostitution and forced labor are considered crimes against humanity.  Continue reading…

LGBT activists blame Christians for Orlando attack

Chase Strangio, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union, on Sunday said the “Christian Right” is implicated in the slaughter by passing “anti-LGBT bills.” –Source

This is how demented and hateful the homosexual mind truly is. Even though Christians had absolutely nothing to do with aMuslim man killing 50 homosexuals and wounding 53 more in a homosexual nightclub, the hatred for Jesus is so deep seated by Satan himself inside the homosexuals he guides, he has been able to twist reality to such an extent that they truly do believe Christians are the reason for the shooting. After all, if he can get them to lust after the same sex, how hard would it be to get them to hate the only people on earth that love them enough to warn them of danger who are also praying for them. Satan hates us that much!  Continue reading…

poGm VIDEO: Muslim kills 50 in Florida gay Nightclub

news-killedingaynightclub“A gunman wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub early Sunday, killing at least 50 people before dying in a gunfight with SWAT officers, police said. It was the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Authorities were investigating the attack on the Florida dance hall as an act of terrorism. The gunman’s father recalled that his son recently got angry when he saw two men kissing in Miami and said that might be related to the assault. At least 53 people were hospitalized, most in critical condition, officials said. A surgeon at Orlando Regional Medical Center said the death toll was likely to climb. “There’s blood everywhere,” Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said. All of the dead were killed with the assault rifle, according to Rep. Alan Grayson.” –Source

This is the true definition of the word HATE! Why so many people think Christians, who only share love and truth are hateful makes no sense at all. When people persecute, torture and even kill you, that’s how one defines hatred! (click here for video on YouTube – click here for video on John1429.org)  Source
