Probe of Kenyan attacks points to
joint Hizbullah, al-Qaida operation
By DOUGLAS DAVIS
LONDON Investigations into the recent attacks on the Paradise Hotel and
the Arkia plane in Mombasa are pointing to the possibility of
joint operation by Hizbullah and
al-Qaida.
Such an alliance between
rival wings of the Islamic movement had previously been thought unlikely,
but the Sunday Telegraph reports that investigators in Mombasa have
uncovered "a number of clues" that suggest
al-Qaida is working with Hizbullah
to attack American and Israeli targets around the world.
According to the report, the al-Qaida terrorists responsible for the
suicide bombing at the hotel used the same techniques as those developed by
Hizbullah in the 1980s.
The investigators also discovered that the two missiles fired at the
Arkia airliner are of the same type used by Hizbullah to attack Israeli
targets. "They believe it was not just coincidence that the only claim for
responsibility for the Mombasa attacks was made on a Hizbullah radio
station," noted the paper.
It went on to quote a Western official closely involved in the
investigation as saying: "A clear
pattern is emerging that suggests Hizbullah is actively cooperating with
al-Qaida. Hizbullah is very active in this part of Africa and shares similar
objectives to al-Qaida."
Particular interest is now focused on the personal links between Osama
bin Laden and Imad Mugniyeh, the Hizbullah terrorist who masterminded some
of its most spectacular atrocities and kidnappings in Lebanon. He appears on
the FBI's 10 most-wanted list for orchestrating attacks against US targets
in Lebanon.
Western intelligence officials are now reviewing the level of cooperation
between Mugniyeh and bin Laden, which is believed to date
back to the mid-1990s when bin Laden and al-Qaida were located in training
camps in Sudan.
Mugniyeh, who is believed to have
moved from Lebanon to Iran when the Lebanese civil war ended, is
reported to have made numerous visits to Khartoum in 1995, '96, and '97, and
to have met bin Laden several times. ...
More recent evidence linking Hizbullah and al-Qaida was picked up by
Western intelligence after bin Laden
fled from Afghanistan at the end of last year, according to the Sunday
Telegraph. It noted that between 80 and 100 al-Qaida fighters who fled into
Iran were provided with false passports by Hizbullah before being relocated
in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. At least 10 senior al-Qaida commanders are also
believed to have been sent to Lebanon, where they liaise closely with
Hizbullah commanders in the Bekaa Valley.
Chechnya's history
is blood and suffering
By David McHugh
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — On his tough bricklayer's fingers, Chechen Akhmad
Arsamakov ticks off the members of his family who suffered under
Moscow's rule. Father deported by Stalin; grandfather joined a hopeless mountain
rebellion against the Soviets in the 1940s; great-great grandfather led
resistance to Czarist troops in the 1860s, was captured and then
disappeared.
"All of us suffered," said Mr. Arsamakov, 51. "But this is the
story of every Chechen. Not almost every Chechen — every Chechen."
Considering that within living memory the entire population of
Chechnya was expelled from its homeland, the lanky construction worker's
remark doesn't sound like an exaggeration.
When al-Qaida first became prominent
they were mostly concerned with taking control of Saudi Arabia. The deep seated
hate for Israel was always there, but now that they lost their base of operation
that hate for Jews has become their primary driving force. It is Jewish hate
that gives both al-Qaida, and Hizbullah the Islamic ear. It is anti-Semitism
that gives them the ear of much of the rest of the Gentile world.
The events of 911 have drawn the US into
this battle between Judaism and Islam. Next to the Jews these Islamic terrorists
hate Christians the most. In the midst of this tangled web of religious war are
found Christians who hate the Jews as much as Islam, and some strange alliances
take place. The siege of the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem has recently
demonstrated how the Christians of the Holy Land sympathized with the Islamic
invaders rather then the Israeli liberators. Arafat loves to go to Bethlehem
every Christmas where the Christians in charge of the Holy Sites greet him with
great admiration. It makes for a very strange united Christmas in Bethlehem
every year.
This religious war reaches into Iran
through Hizbullah. Now it reaches into Africa through the joint alliance of
al-Qaida and Hizbullah. All this hate is focused on Israel. The goal is to kill,
and torture Jews wherever possible. It is no wonder to me that Iran is mentioned
in the Bible as the Eastern power in a three pronged Islamic invasion of Israel
(Ezekiel 38 & 39), and Africa is mentioned as the Southern prong of this same
"Last Jihad" invasion.
Chechnya has been in the news lately
with the hostage taking of Russian theater goers. The goal is clearly declared
by these Islamic terrorists as the formation of a North Caucuses Mountains
Islamic Republic. It is from here that the Northern prong of the "Last Jihad"
will originate. This Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal (Moscow and Tubalsk) will
lead the great coming invasion motivated by hate for the Jews. This Northern
prong will represent the Gog from the land of Magog who will unite all Islam in
a final solution to the current religious war.
The end result of all this will be the
destruction by God of Islam, and an open door for a return to the Bible movement
among the Jews calling for the building of the Third Jewish Temple in
anticipation for the coming Messiah/King's return to the Temple Mount!
The Invading Islamic Nations of Ezekiel 38 & 39 are in the news this very
day!

Ezekiel 38:1-8

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee
forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all
sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them
handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and
helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and
all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company
that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited:
in the latter years thou shalt come into
the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many
people, against the
mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

A million immigrants? Where
from exactly?
By
Yair Sheleg
Roni Vinikov took up his post as a Jewish
Agency emissary in New York three months ago. The Agency already has several
emissaries in the Big Apple, but Vinikov will play a unique role: He is
coordinating Agency activities among
Jews from the former Soviet Union who settled in New York following the
collapse of Communist rule.
About 300,000 people in that group opted
for the American dream over its Israeli parallel, and a
large percentage of them clustered in
the New York area. Following a two-year series of discussions, the Agency
decided to try to work among these Jews, in an effort to persuade as many as
possible to give Israel a "second
chance." Even before this, a-year-and-a-half ago, the Agency began a
similar initiative in Germany, and soon plans one in Australia.
Vinikov says that his target audience is principally the relatively young, those
who see "they will most probably not be able to realize in the United States the
dreams they hoped to fulfill when they arrived there, and are, on the other
hand, young enough to try a new place."
Several factors assist him in his task: First, the "Russian" community has not
really struck roots in American society, nor in the local Jewish community.
Although the latter has helped them a great deal,
"the fact that Jewish life in the U.S. is mainly based on religious movements
and synagogue membership is not well suited to the `Russians.'"
Second, the community maintains close links with Israel. "Eighty percent of them
have primary relatives in Israel. Over
60 percent have visited Israel, while the average in the
American-Jewish community is 7 or 8
percent. Moved by the situation in Israel, the "Russian" community in New
York recently contributed about NIS 1 million to IDF soldiers.
In the past two years there has been a stronger move by immigration authorities
to search for new "reservoirs" among the approximately
7.8 million Jews living outside Israel, in an effort to remain even
somewhat close to the immigration levels to which Israel grew accustomed in the
1990s.
In 2000, 61,025 persons immigrated to
Israel, but by last year that number had
dropped to 44,247, and this year only
about 35,000 are expected to immigrate - representing a 43 percent decline in
two years.
Of course, these two years have been marked by a
war of Palestinian terrorism and a
serious economic downturn, and the results are obvious. Yet Jewish Agency
chairman Sallai Meridor refuses to speak of a "crisis" in immigration:
"What happened is that during the 1990s,
we were spoiled by dramatic numbers of immigrants, and now it is hard for us to
get used to a decline. I can still remember years in which only 10,000 -12,000
people immigrated to Israel, so the current number of 35,000 immigrants coming
to Israel is an extraordinary accomplishment."
In any event, the numbers suggest the words of
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon seem
detached from reality. Ever since he assumed office two years ago, Sharon has
never stopped trumpeting before the relevant bodies his goal of absorbing
another million immigrants in the decade to come, which translates into 100,000
immigrants a year. Such an immigration rate was unheard of even in the
Gay Nineties - except for the first two years, 1990 and 1991. Deputy Absorption
Minister Yuli Edelstein, who answers to Sharon (Sharon holds the absorption
portfolio), believes that Sharon's goal is realistic, "only if we take the right
actions, in the right places." But even Meridor, who is directly responsible for
bringing the immigrants and whose organization is largely judged on the basis of
percentage points, offers a much more modest goal: half a million in the
upcoming decade, or 50,000 a year.
This objective is realistic, says Meridor. "We have already had these sort of
years in the past decade. I also believe that the security and economic
situation will not continue throughout the decade."

number jumped from 1,421 last year to nearly 6,500 this year.

"And ye would not"
may be the saddest words in the Bible. They will be forever repeated throughout
eternity by those cast into the eternity of hell. It is God's intent that all
would be saved, but sadly not all will come!
1 Timothy 2:3-4
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth.
KJV
The sad truth is that many refuse to
come. Many reject the Bible and it's only Savior/Messiah the Lord Jesus Christ.
God's plan is to bring in the next
dispensation of the Jewish Kingdom. God would have all mankind come to the
Savior, but sadly that is not going to happen. Soon, the Holy Spirit will leave
the true Church at the rapture (leaving behind Apostate Christianity), and will
dwell among the Jews of Israel as the Jewish Kingdom becomes a reality. Sadly,
not all Jews will come as all gentiles did not come to Christ during the Church
age. However, the omniscient God knows many Jews will respond to the call of the
Holy Spirit when dispensational change takes place. Many more Jews will come to
their Messiah during the seven years of Great Tribulation. The greatest move of
Jews to the Holy Land not seen since the Exodus will be testimony that God has
renewed the hearts of His chosen people.
I have no doubts many Jews from New
York, Chicago, and many other places around the world will make the modern day
Exodus complete. They will come with renewed hearts completely submitted to
their God. It will be the day when construction of the Third Temple will be
impossible to stop. It will be the day when the Book of Leviticus will again
have it's blood sacrificial Biblical prominence restored! The only sadness for
the Jews on that day will be for those who would not come!
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
yeshall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done!"
Israel Shall Be Saved
Isaiah 45:17-25
17 But Israel shall be
saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not
be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the
earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he
formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said
not unto the seed of
Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I
declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of
the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven
image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:
who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time?
have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a
just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and
be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and
there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in
righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every
tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to
him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the LORD shall
all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Mormons meet with Jewish group
in New York over baptizing holocaust victims
AP Dec. 11, 2002
Mormon and Jewish leaders met in New York City to discuss the
Mormon church's apparent breach of
its agreement not to posthumously baptize Holocaust victims and other
deceased Jews.
Mormon leaders requested the meeting with Ernest Michel, chairman of the
World Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors who helped broker the
1995 agreement with The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said church spokesman Dale
Bills.
Before the meeting on Tuesday, Michel said the discussion would be
preliminary. Numerous calls to his office were not returned Tuesday.
In a statement, the Mormon church said the meeting with Michel was
"positive and productive" but did not elaborate on the outcome.
Mormons believe proxy baptisms
give those in the afterlife the option of joining the religion. It's
primarily intended to offer salvation to the ancestors of Mormons, but many
others are included.
Baptisms for the dead are
performed inside Mormon temples, with a church member immersed in water in
place of the deceased person. Names of the deceased are gathered by church
members from genealogy records as well as death and governmental documents
from around the world.
"For Latter-day Saints, the practice of proxy baptism is a means of
expressing love and concern for those who have preceded us. It is a freewill
offering," Bills said.
At Tuesday's meeting, Michel met with Mormon leaders Monte Brough and D.
Todd Christofferson.
Independent researcher Helen Radkey, who prepared a report for Michel, is
certain the agreement has been
broken. In her research of the church's extensive genealogical
database, she found at least 20,000
Jews - some of whom died in Nazi concentration camps - were baptized after
they died.
"There shouldn't be one single death camp record in those files," Radkey
said.
Radkey has been researching Jews included in the
Mormon databases since 1999, when
she found Anne Frank and her extended family listed as being baptized.
Also among those baptized posthumously by the church, according to
Radkey's research:
Ghengis Khan, Joan of Arc, Adolf
Hitler, Josef Stalin and Buddha.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los
Angeles, said the Mormon church needs to rein in its members if it is
serious about its pledge to stop baptizing Holocaust victims.
"If these people did not contact the Mormons themselves, the adage should
be: Don't call me, I'll call you,"
Hier said. "With the greatest of respect to them,
we do not think they are the
exclusive arbitrators of who is saved."
It is not just the Jews who are offended
by these pompous Mormons who deny the Bible by making their religious records,
and the Book of Mormon the means of salvation rather then the God of the Bible.
They put their cultic religion above Almighty God Himself with this man invented
lie about proxy baptisms. They convince the gullible that they alone are the
authors of the Lamb's Book of Life. They include Hitler and Stalin along
with every filthy pervert, and every mass murderer they can get their dunking
members to jump into the waters to represent. It is a lucrative business for the
Mormon afterlife as the Mormon dunkers are foolishly convinced their proxies
will be eternally indebted to them. It is a lot like the Islamic suicide fools
who think they will go to a sex perverted paradise for killing Jews. It is bad
enough that a Jew gets murdered by a fanatic Islamic bomber who ends his life,
but now the Mormons fanatically use his name after death to break his ties to
Judaism putting him unwillingly into the rolls of the Church of the Latter Day
Saints. It seems like the Jews can't win for dieing?
All these false manmade religions will
end when the Jewish Kingdom is established. It will not just be Mormonism, but
all of Apostate Christianity! It will be all religions that either deny the
Bible, or pervert it's teachings. It is only the Bible that will
stand in the end with it's clearly taught single way of salvation. The
Jewish Kingdom will again make blood sacrifices in the Third Jewish Temple
reviving the great truths taught throughout the Old Testament, but specifically
in the Book of Leviticus. Only the blood can wash away sin. Only the blood can
make atonement for the lost sinner. It never was nor ever will be manmade
religions that control salvation. It is only the pure and undefiled Lamb of God
who can save. Only He shed His blood as the only acceptable sacrifice that was
ever given in which the God of the Bible says is sufficient. It is only to Him
that the repentant sinner can go to find security. All other ways are lies!
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Atonement for Sin
2 Chronicles 29:21-36
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven
he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for
Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on
the altar of the LORD.
22 So they killed the bullocks, and the
priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar:
likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the
altar: they killed
also the lambs, and they
sprinkled the blood
upon the altar.
23 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and
the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
24 And the priests killed them, and they made
reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an
atonement for all Israel:
for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be
made for all Israel.
25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with
psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad
the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the
LORD by his prophets.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the
trumpets.
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And
when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the
trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the
trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was
finished.
29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present
with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing
praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they
sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the
LORD, come near and
bring sacrifices and thank offerings
into the house of the LORD.
And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as
were of a free heart
burnt offerings.
32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was
threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these
were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt
offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work
was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for
the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the
priests.
35 And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace
offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering.
So the service of the
house of the LORD was set in order.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the
people: for the thing was done suddenly.

I'm sure it will not be long before
Yasser Arafat starts making claims of how he has reigned in terrorism for world
consumption. A gullible world with anti-Semitic inner feelings will quickly
repeat the claims once made. The Jews know the truth because they live with it
daily. I often wonder how it must hurt to be the object of so much undeserved
scorn. Today, the UN is contemplating taking Hezbollah off the terrorist list.
It would be unbelievable if it were any other ethnic group other then the Jews
being targeted by Hezbollah. I'm always wondering what it must feel like to be
so unjustly scorned by the world as the Jews are today. I'm reminded how the
world scorned the Lord Jesus Christ at His first coming. The coming Jewish
Kingdom of the next dispensation will see scorn as great as was manifested
against Christ by the Roman soldiers who spit in His face, and pulled out His
beard by the roots. This next coming of the Lord Jesus Christ will be different
from the first! He is not coming as the suffering Savior, but as the King of
kings!
I'm always reminded at Christmas time
that Christ the babe of Bethlehem is yet to be exhaled as King. The victory is
coming at His second return to Israel, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount! The
scorn of the world will be as great in this present generation as it was at His
first coming, but this time it will be the scorners who will die! It will be a
foolish death for them because they will have rejected the coming King ,and His
Jewish Kingdom. They will be cast into hell where all eternity will not be long
enough to recompense their foolish decision to reject the King.
God is Just! As long as God offers eternal life to those who receive
Christ, He must eternally condemn those who have rejected Him.
My Christmas prayer for you is the
wisdom to understand dispensational change is upon us! The King is coming, and
His Jewish Kingdom is in the process of formation. The Old Testament has come to
life again in our generation. The Jews are back in their promised land for only
one reason! The next dispensation of the Jewish Kingdom is about to be realized.
The King is coming!

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is
not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
 11
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is
of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast.

doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;
and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND
LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the
flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and
the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against him that sat on the
horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of
the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of
fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant
were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.

WASHINGTON In an address before the Heritage Foundation Thursday, US
Secretary of State Colin Powell introduced the
"United States Middle East
Partnership Initiative," which is aimed at promoting the democratization of
civil societies and economic growth in the Arab Middle East.
Before launching the new initiative, he reaffirmed President George W. Bush's
commitment to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, calling for the
Palestinians to choose "a new and different leadership, new institutions, and an
end to terror and violence."
Powell, who reiterated Bush's hope for the
establishment of an independent
state of Palestine by 2005, also said, "As the Palestinians make progress in
this direction, Israel will also be required to make hard choices, including an
end to all settlement construction activity, consistent with the Mitchell
Report."
The new initiative received an initial budget of $29 million. According to
Powell, the US currently provides more than
$1 billion in economic assistance to
Arab governments.
The initiative will work on private sector development to improve economic
growth, the development of organs of civil society to
"close the freedom gap,"
with an emphasis on improving the status of women in the Muslim world, and
educational reform to "bridge the knowledge gap with better schools and more
opportunities for higher education" throughout the Arab world.
Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Lebanon, and Yemen, Powell said, will receive
"technical assistance to meet the World Trade Organization's membership
criteria." "Enterprise funds" will be created, intended to "help small- and
medium-sized businesses gain access to the life-blood of capital." Negotiations
will also soon commence on establishing a free trade agreement with Morocco.
Powell noted that the government "would explore ways to enhance our bilateral
economic trade relationships" with Egypt and Bahrain, possibly also resulting in
free trade agreements. The US now has a free trade agreement with Jordan.
He emphasized the importance of improving political freedoms in the region,
especially for Arab women. Too few women are represented in legislative bodies
of Arab governments, he said.
He concluded that the US government will help reform education systems
throughout the region by providing "scholarships to keep girls in school and

Talk about shooting yourself in the
foot! These are not the keystone cops, but Hollywood should take note of the
Palestinian Authority attempts to stop God from ushering in the Jewish Kingdom.
Of course, there is nothing funny about Yasser Arafat, and the Palestinian
Authority as there is nothing funny about police enforcement. Hollywood is good
at turning heartache into a smile. I suppose if it were not politically
incorrect the next big blockbuster movie could be the Keystone Palestinians? The
story lines could at least be discreetly used in the roadrunner/coyote cartoons.
The reason the Catholic Church does not
deal with the flagrant sins of their priests is because they falsely endow these
priests with supernatural usurped mystical power with the false claim of their
administering the actual body and blood of Christ during the mass.
The righteousness associated with Christ's miraculous
power is in question when these pedophile, homosexual, whore mongering priests
are exposed. God is brought directly into the situation when His power is
claimed by these priests as being manifested when they conduct the mass, or last
rites. God appears weak or blind, and not in control when these
unrepentant wolves supposedly exercise His power while secretly
committing sin of the blackest hue! The Catholic Church faced with this
dichotomy of a homosexually saturated priesthood preying on little boys just
tried to maintain the secrecy of these vicious acts perpetrated against
children. It did not work because God would not allow the sins of the priesthood
to remain hidden! These priests have been exposed as phony to all but the
hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. They are not excommunicated for the
vileness of their sin, but rather protected by a system that maintains power
through false claims that they are the distributors of God's power.
