C.S. LEWIS WRITES “The GOSPELS APPEAR TO BE SIMPLE, EYE-WITNESS ACCOUNTS OF HISTORICAL EVENTS

COULD THE BIBLE SIMPLY BE A BOOK OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS THAT GOD EXISTS?

I had a long emotional, scientific and spiritual journey from the time that I was a non-believer to becoming a Christian, which I won’t go into in this particular post. But when I started reading the Bible, it wasn’t what I expected. I eventually learned that all of life’s ails had answers and explanations about them in the Bible.

Most importantly, I discovered that God is all about freedom. Freedom of choice. Freedom of will. And then I found God…

Separation of Church and State Restricts the FEDERAL Government Not State Governments

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE ARE NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION

The ‘Separation’ protects individuals’ rights, not the governments. “The framers were not only decreeing that Congress could not establish a religion, but also reassuring the states that they could establish religions and Congress couldn’t stop them…[It’s about] the federal government’s involvement in religion. Even Jefferson’s “wall of separation between church and state” LETTER referred only to the federal government and assumed states could have established religions.” —Ann Coulter

The Concept of Freedom Has a Very Limited Meaning in Islam

BE CAREFUL U.S., EUROPE, AND ALL WESTERN NATIONS

“In fundamentalist Islam, there is no law but religious law, the Sharia…To the devout Muslim, the Holy Law of Islam is all the law that is needed. It is absurd to think that a parliament or a congress or any other deliberative body could better the Holy Law of Islam. This leaves no room in strict Islam for self-government or representative government…The concept of freedom has a very limited meaning in Islam.” —Chris and Ted Stewart

It’s True, Tithing is One of the Laws That Govern Prosperity

TITHING IS ONE OF THE LAWS [THAT GOVERN PROSPERITY] THAT MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE DIFFICULTY ACCEPTING. MOST SEE IT AS A PLOT BY THE CHURCH TO RAISE FUNDS.

“I never tither for the first 30 years of my life. I thought I was saving money. Hardly…I began tithing only after my life started breaking down…I’ve been tithing 10% of every dollar I have ever made since then. And every single year I earn more than the year before. Only now I don’t tithe out of fear. I tithe joyfully, lovingly, and gratefully…There are many ways your good can come back to you…The universe will always get its tithe. You can tithe voluntarily or by force, but you will always pay. All those years I never tithed, I was always having my car break down, losing paychecks, incurring medical bills…” -Randy Gage

Christianity Introduced Equal Rights for Women

FULL EQUALITY HAS NEVER BEEN AVAILABLE TO WOMEN (before Christianity).

In fundamental Islamic states, this is as true today as it was in the seventh century. And it likely will never be much different, for there is a deep seated difference between the beliefs of Islam and Western cultures regarding the roles of the sexes…Of course, slavery has been abolished, but deeply held traditions (in Islam) may still allow for a blind eye to be turned to the trade of women for sexual exploitation. - Chris & Ted Stewart

A Christmas Special: The Lost Truths of Freedom and Christianity

For those of us living in the United States, a nation that has experienced more than two hundred years of unparalleled liberty, it is easy to take for granted the extraordinary gifts we have been given...

The majority of human beings have never even thought about the possibility of living under the protection of a government that would honor their individual rights or grant them freedom...

The modern day we live in, with the unimaginable blessings of freedom and liberty, is the aberration, not the norm. Further, simply because freedom exists today does not guarantee this gift will survive for future generations...
