1/15/18, Natural News -- If you’re convinced that vaccines are safe, you’re not listening to the people who’ve lost a child after a round of vaccines was administered. The U.S. government set up a special court to hear vaccine injury cases, with reparation for select victims but no accountability for vaccine makers. Sudden infant death syndrome, seizures, allergies, brain swelling, skin conditions, eating disorders and neurological development issues are all sad consequences of failed vaccine policy in the U.S. and around the world. Every vaccine on the market today, no matter what its intended use, will burden a body, especially small bodies with lower blood volume and weight. [..snip]

Vaccines Use Preservatives

One of the preservatives in some vaccines is a form of inorganic mercury called thimerosal. Researchers have studied thimerosal exposure on mammalian brains. While thimerosal clears from the brain quicker than organic forms of mercury, it also concentrates there more rapidly, leading to harmful exposure amounts. A laboratory investigation of GlaxoSmithKline’s Flulaval flu vaccine found mercury at 51 ppm, or 25,000 times the legal maximum for drinking water regulated by the EPA. Mercury is one of the worst preservatives to directly inject into the body, bypassing the gastrointestinal filters, microbiome, and the gut wall. When this vaccine is recommended for pregnant women, is the fetus protected? Absolutely not. The developing infant can be poisoned for life due to the slightest exposure to mercury in the womb. If you’re convinced vaccines are safe, you do not understand the toxicity of mercury or the dangers of putting a brain-damaging element into the muscles and bloodstream without normal body filtration.

2 Peter 2:5-6; Luke 17:26-30

7-10-18, Henry Morris, PhD -- These two verses speak graphically of two different kinds of terrible physical convulsions, both of which were divine judgments. The volcanic upheaval that sent fire pouring over the wicked cities of the plains of Sodom & Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24) was called an “overthrow” (Greek katastrophe, from which, obviously, we get our English word “catastrophe”). Great upheavals such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and hurricanes are rightly called catastrophes.

However, such events are only local or regional in extent and occur relatively often. There was one event, however, that was unique in all history.

When God brought the “flood” upon the ungodly antediluvian world, the word used to describe it was the Greek kataklusmos, and this word is never applied in Scripture to any event except the terrible Genesis Flood, when “the world that then was, being overflowed [Greek katakluzo] with water, perished” (2 Peter 3:6). From these Greek words we derive the English word “cataclysm.” [Noah's flood: Genesis 7:2 -  Genesis 8:17]

There was never any flood like this flood!

It covered all the world’s mountains, and everything on the land died, leaving great fossil deposits and great beds of lithified sediments all over the world. Genesis 19:10-26
​
There has been only one worldwide cataclysm in the past, but another is coming--global fire instead of global water. 2 Peter 3:10 "The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." See also Zechariah 9:3-5

Jesus said, “For as in the days that were before the flood [i.e., kataklusmos] they . . . knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:38-39 Source

​Peter Strzok hearing: FBI agent feuds with GOP critics - The ...
Republicans fought bitterly with FBI agent Peter Strzok at a congressional hearing that frequently devolved into shouting matches about Peter's bias against Trump between GOP and Democrats who ran interference for Peter.
***
​7-12-18, Flopping Aces -- The FBI Agent Peter Strzok Congressional hearing was a circus because democrats made it a circus. Any and every time a GOP question zeroed in on the target accusing him of bias against the President Trump they interrupted with spurious and specious hoops and hollers. Despite that, much was learned; the most important thing to come out? Peter Strzok is a sociopath.
​
Despite his protestations to the contrary, Strzok without any doubt mean every word that he wrote: “F Trump”, Trump is a “douche” and a “f**king idiot”, his supporters smell and they are ignorant hillbillies. He sees himself as the king of the world, the same kind of Savior Comey saw himself as. Strzok bristled at every personal criticism, letting Congress know that he was merely tolerating them. He sees Americans as his servants, incapable and unworthy of judging him.

Were the scary Peter Strzok a prosecutor or a judge on any other case and this bias and animus was discovered, he’d be removed immediately. Strzok showed himself to be hostile, callous, deceitful, lacking in empathy and unwilling to accept any responsibility. Those are some of the characteristics of a sociopath.

Watching the maniacal faces he made during his comments and questioning, it will remove all doubt of his true self. This will creep you out that guy was near the top of the FBI [he has been demoted to Personnel]. If his actions weren't based on his bias ... there is no such thing as bias. See videos here

7-12-18, LEXINGTON, SC -- A set of 91-year-old twins, Hampton & Raymond Caughman were born and raised in the Midlands, So Carolina and have spent nearly everyday of their lives together - including while serving in World War II. Raymond said,
"We were close. We lived together and even slept together in the same bed for many, many years."

They were drafted in 1945 and deployed to Shanghai during World War II, both worked in the Signal Center transcoding messages in Morse Code. Hampton says this was comforting because "at least we were together. We knew where each one was, wasn't concerned about him, you know? Got three promotions and got all them at the same time. Came home together, same time."

After returning home, Raymond started the Lexington State Bank just a few blocks from Hampton's business, The Red and White Grocery Store, on Columbia Avenue in Lexington. Hampton says he was the first business owner, white business owner in Lexington, to hire a black employee.

If working on the same street wasn't close enough, the two eventually built homes right across the street from one another and just feet away from their childhood home. More here

​Trump-Putin Summit in Helsinki: The Triumph of Common Sense
​Jul 10, 2018 · The upcoming Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki is a triumph of common sense over bitterly anti-Russia politics in Washington and some European capitals.

Leviticus 20:24; Deuteronomy 26:15; Exodus 3:8, 17, 13:5; Numbers 13:27;  14:8; Ezekiel 20:6; Joshua 5:6; Jeremiah 11:5

​7-10-18, NatlGeographics -- According to a release from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill ... a mosaic scene, depicting two men carrying a pole laden with grapes, was recently discovered at Huqoq, the site of the synagogue excavation. An inscription in Hebrew above the men reads “a pole between two”—a reference to the biblical passage Numbers 13:23.

Following the forty years the Hebrews spent in Egypt as slaves, we read in the Book of Numbers 13:1-23 that God told Moses to send out twelve scouts into the land of Canaan. The spies returned with tales of an abundant land of milk and honey—with bunches of grapes so large they required two men to carry. 

Archaeologist Jodi Magness, director of the Huqoq excavations said that the “unparalleled” 1500 yr old mosaic finds at Huqoq contradict the idea that Jewish settlements in Galilee suffered as the influence of Christianity grew in the region. Not only is the artwork in the synagogue of exceptional quality, but it also highlights a rich visual culture at a time when Jewish art is believed to have shunned images. 
​
The Huqoq mosaics, which have been excavated with support from the National Geographic Society, even contain a nonbiblical scene that Magness believes represents a fabled visit to the region by Alexander the Great. More ancient mosaics from Huqoq here

Maxtech CEO Uzi Hanuni said, “We are happy to be able to help.” 

At the same time Israeli innovation is helping the world and saving lives, the bigoted anti-Israel United Nations is working overtime to punish the Israeli economy. The UN Human Rights Council– which lists human rights abusers Cuba, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and China on its membership– is producing a blacklist of Israeli, American and other firms doing business inside Israel’s disputed territories. The blacklist is an open threat designed to intimidate and scare businesses out of the region. The UN Human Rights Commissioner says he may go public with the blacklist before September 2018. The UN Council’s goal is to support the BDS movement (boycott, divestment and sanctions), suppress business investment, and cripple the Israeli economy.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

7-10-18, * --  The gift of discerning spirits is dispensed by the Holy Spirit to born again believers in Christ for service according to the sovereignty of God and in accordance with His plan to edify the body of Christ. Every believer has a certain amount of discernment, which increases as the believer matures in the Spirit; to discern good from evil. Hebrews 5:13-14; Acts 17:11
 
We know that Satan takes a bit of truth and twists it with his lies.  The discernment from God distinguishes truth from lies. We are admonished to study the Scriptures to keep us safe to recognize a lie from truth. [2 Timothy 3:16-17; see also Ephesians 4:14]
 
Some prosperity preachers proclaim that Christians should never be sick or in poverty. Is this true? No it is not. We read in the Book of Acts that the Apostles were jailed, tortured and ultimately killed, except for John who lived through being boiled in oil. All through history believers have suffered as Jesus warned us we’d have tribulation. John 16:33; Luke 14:27; Revelation 21:4
 
Many babes in Christ ‘have itching ears’ (2 Tim 4:3-4) eager to hear that we’ll be prosperous. I have discerned that the “prosperity” preachers are frauds; that “name it and claim it” that they proclaim is not Scriptural. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
 
Many think they lack discernment; it could be caused from lack of reading God’s Word. The more we learn about God’s love, commands and gifts the stronger will be our love, obedience, peace and discernment. Only then can we clearly see and discern who are true representatives and disciples of Christ. Then we can identify who are actually preaching God’s truths or a different gospel of empty deceitful words.

7-10-18, Fox News -- Recently a public school in Illinois sent a cease and desist letter to someone who was giving children a copy of the Holy Bible on a public street. The Freedom From Religion Foundation [FFRF], a Wisconsin-based group of atheists, agnostics and free-thinkers, filed complaints with the Illinois school district regarding religion at La Harpe Elementary School. The school assured the FFRF that:

“This individual [handing out free Bibles] was warned that law enforcement would be called should he or any affiliated persons come onto the School District campus for the purpose of distributing Bibles to students.” 

First time it just involved flyers that Principal Lila McKeown reportly distributed to teachers at staff meetings referencing Christian holidays like Easter and Christmas and included Bible passages.

Although we're saved by grace alone, there are many things we ought to do, not as a matter of credit toward salvation, but as gratitude for our salvation.

Surely judgment, mercy and faithfulness are high on the a list. Other “oughts” of the born-again Christian life would include the following incomplete listing:

1. Prayer: “Men ought always to pray, and not to faint” (Luke 18:1).
2. Obedience to God as Priority: “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29).
3. Working and Sharing: “So labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).
4. Gracious in Speech: “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man” (Colossians 4:6).
5. Walking with God: “As ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more” (1 Thessalonians 4:1).
6. Heeding God’s Word: “We ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip” (Hebrews 2:1).
7. Sanctified Behavior: “What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness” (2 Peter 3:11).

He tried to undermine the authority of the Scriptures and accused me of using violent language to him.

Romans 2:5-12; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:11-15

Today people don’t want to hear warnings; we only want positive words. Words that make us feel better about ourselves increasing our self-esteem enhancing our self-image. However, truth is needed; although obedience to God and repentance for sin (Luke 13:3) is considered negative and is often rejected out of hand. Many now demand that we:

• Don’t tell me I’m on the wrong path.
• Don’t tell me there’s danger ahead.
• By all means, do not warn!

Of course we should encourage, lift up, preach with love, compassion, mercy and longsuffering. But we should strongly warn our hearers and viewers of the consequences of rejecting the love, compassion, mercy and longsuffering of our Savior Jesus Christ. (Romans 11:22). Unfortunately today's accepted message is: 

• Everybody wins there can be no losers.
• Every path is valid and every perception has truth.
• Correction is a micro-aggression.
• Reproof is for our grandparents’ generation.
• Rebuke is tantamount to assault.

That’s the current world and it's not only in the secular, non-religious society ... it's also in the Church. Few preachers warn anymore. I've receive angry hate filled comments about our video “Can You Be Gay and Christian?” [1] The belligerent rebellious sinner doesn't accept that we share God's good news because we love them and don't want any to spend eternity in Hell (Revelation 20:15). Christian musician and singer Keith Green (who passed into eternity in 1982) said, “I'd rather have people hate me with the knowledge that I tried to save them.” Decades ago, George Orwell famously wrote, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” 

Our eternal destiny is not just by chance; it's decided by our own choice to reject God or personal repentance and faith. If we, born again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, don’t do it, who will? We are the 'watchmen' it's our duty to try to warn those in danger. Ezekiel 33:6; Luke 19:10

7-10-18, After surviving 17 days inside a flooded cave in northern Thailand, the final members of a Thai boys soccer team and their coach were rescued. We remember the one rescuer who gave his life trying to help the thirteen; Petty Officer Saman Gunan.

Some boys couldn't swim so two divers escorted them out. The diver had lights. Surely these are young boys and they were terrified. The boys breathing tank was attached to the tank worn by a rescue diver. The final boy and the team’s 25-year-old coach were taken from the cave at 6:50 p.m. local time. The Thai navy confirmed the news followed by their slogan “Hooyah!”

History:
On June 23, 2018  the Wild Boars football [soccer] team had entered the Tham Luang cave system in the province of Chiang Rai during an excursion with their coach. Then Monsoon rains flooded the cave entrance pushing them 2.5 miles into the cave.  On July 2, 2018 the dozen boys of a Thailand youth soccer team ages 11 to 16 and coach Ekapol [Ake] Chantawong 25 have been found alive in a cave complex after they went missing ten days ago. Two British divers were first to reach the boys were John Volanthen and Rick Stanton, both experts in cave rescues.

Hundreds of officials from more than 20 governments, along with private companies, were involved in the search. Rescuers came from at least six countries, including members of the United States military. The chamber is about 2.5 miles from the entrance of the cave, which is thought to be about 4 to 5 miles long and cut into a mountainside near the border with Myanmar. When water levels dropped Sunday, the divers went forward with a more methodical approach, deploying a rope line and extra oxygen supplies along the way. 

In addition to the divers, teams were working to pump out water. However, the monsoon rains continued. As workers pumped water out the caves continued to flood hindering divers’ efforts to reach the thirteen trapped. For several days, the water in the cave system rose faster than it could be extracted. More here

Interesting 8 min video about Vladimir Putin's valid view of the world's demise; lack of God and patriotism to one's own nation here. In his 2013 Christmas speech, the most maligned man on the planet, Vladimir Putin, exposed the plot to destroy America and the West.

Jul 09, 2018 · President Trump is heading to the annual NATO summit  July 11-12, 2018 in Brussels, Belgium. Europe is worried that things could get testy.  NATO's rule requiring all members to spend at least 2 percent of their economic output on defense is a huge issue. Based on his past comments, we expect Pres Trump to push European NATO allies toward fulfilling NATO’s Article 5 pledge of a collective defense; it nothing if wealthy European countries aren’t pulling their weight. Germany’s economy is 2.5 times that of Russia’s [who is not a NATO member] yet Germany only spends only $45 billion annually on defense while Russia spends about $80 billion. Germany isn’t the only wealthy Euro-area NATO-member that refuses to meet the 2 percent rule:

• Belgium spends 0.91
  
• Germany 1.22
  
• Italy spends 1.13
  
• Spain spends 0.92
  
• Czech Republic spends 1.07 percent
  
• France 1.79 percent
• USA 4%
  

Russia now wants UK to prove they didn't poison the Russian ex-spy
Mar 28, 2018 · Britain's "disinterest" in providing evidence that Moscow had a hand in the poisoning of a former spy leads it to believe that UK agents were behind the poisoning. Russian foreign ministry on accused the British government of dragging its feet in the investigation to uncover the motive and “perpetrators” involved in the gassing earlier this month of former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, England. NATO has announced it is cutting the size of its Russian mission by a third, removing accreditation from seven Russian staff and rejecting three other pending applications due to  poisoning. Regardless Russia will still have a diplomatic mission of 20 people at alliance headquarters in Brussels, and that will allow Russia to keep essential contacts with NATO members.
