			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Herescope offers a rather unique body of research on skullduggery in evangelicalism. Their <a href="http://herescope.blogspot.com/2010/10/emergent-blueprint.html">latest article</a> draws interesting connections between Emergence and the New World Order.</p>
<p>People deceive themselves in amazing ways. Self-deception is amazing because it is entirely self-assured. It’s a form of <strong>abstract faith.</strong> One would have to be captive to some “tribal” authority (church body, political party, union, PAC, etc.) to miss the ideological threads running through our American institutions.&#160; The great multitude of our <a href="http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/">dis-educated</a> populace seem to be blind to the spiritual and philosophical forces behind our politics and economics.</p>
<p>Emergence is deeply rooted in the same anti-Christ mentality that Marxism and Theosophy share. It’s the same mentality that produced death and destruction on a massive scale in the last century. That mentality in a word is Utopianism.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jay Bakker <a href="http://radaronline.com/features/2006/12/empire_of_the_son_part_iii.php" target="_blank">says that God loves homosexuality</a>. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Bakker" target="_blank">Jay</a> is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerging_church" target="_blank">Emergent</a>. He is a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC2Lft29pcM" target="_blank">poster boy</a> for what the lusts of the flesh can produce. He came to the conclusion that God told him that homosexuality is not sin. Jay is the pastor of a <a href="http://www.revolutionnyc.com/" target="_blank">nightclub church</a> in NYC, so he is well versed in scripture. But he&#8217;s not citing scripture as he defends homosexuality. It&#8217;s funny (sad) how that always seems to get left out when preachers justify sin.</p>
<p>Jay, brother, I have news for you. God hates homosexuality (<a href="http://www.esvapi.org/v2/rest/passageQuery?key=IP&amp;passage=Lev+18" target="_blank">Lev 18</a>; <a href="http://www.esvapi.org/v2/rest/passageQuery?key=IP&amp;passage=Lev+20" target="_blank">Lev 20</a>; <a href="http://www.esvapi.org/v2/rest/passageQuery?key=IP&amp;passage=Rom+1" target="_blank">Rom 1</a>; <a href="http://www.esvapi.org/v2/rest/passageQuery?key=IP&amp;passage=1Cor+6" target="_blank">1Cor 6</a>; <a href="http://www.esvapi.org/v2/rest/passageQuery?key=IP&amp;passage=1Ti+1" target="_blank">1Ti 1</a>; and <a href="http://www.esvapi.org/v2/rest/passageQuery?key=IP&amp;passage=Jude" target="_blank">Jude</a>). Read those passages, brother! The LORD puts homosexuality in the same category as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide#In_the_Old_World" target="_blank">infanticide</a>, incest, beastiality, adultery, pornography, idolatry, witchcraft, covetousness, drunkenness, extortion, and theft.</p>
<blockquote><p>Jesus answered and said unto him, <span style="color:#ff0000;">Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.</span> (Joh 3:10-21)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The love of God provided the blood of the lamb, which is given to redeem you from the curse of sin. But you&#8217;re one of those Red Letter Christians who ignores half of the red letters. Aren&#8217;t you, Jay?</p>
