Contender’s Edge has also acquired a proton e-mail account at
contendersedge@protonmail.com
And Contender's Edge is still looking to expand its audience further and as I expand, I will be placing my focus on the platforms that are the most active and will be spending less time on those platforms that are not as active which is why I have not been active on either the Vomvos or Telegram platforms.
On Jesus Social I had 28 followers last year, but went down to 8 followers due to a revamping of the platform which wiped out every account there and resulted in a loss of followers. Contender's Edge re-established its account there and has reconnected with two followers and has acquired six ones.
Contender's Edge was banned from Christian Forums which costed me a follower there due to an inadvertent violation of a policy which was due to an oversight on my part and after examining their policies, I decided that I had no grounds to appeal despite the fact that the violation was not a serious one.
On USA.Life: 69 followers, up from 63 of last year
On Twitter: 273 followers up from 259 of last year

New sites that Contender's Edge has successfully established itself on this year:
Right Only with 42 friends and 60 followers (appearing to be undergoing some technological issues at this time which I hope and pray they will resolve very soon. Very active platform and would hate to lose them.)
Creation.social with 2 followers
Freetalk with 1 follower
Votefeed with 2 followers
That is a total of a 1038 of combined followers up from 799 from last year.
I don’t like having to do this, but because I have been assailed by scammers and inappropriate content posted by SM users on some platforms, I have become more cautious about who I follow or follow back. If anyone decides that they want to be a follower and wants me to follow them back, and I do out of courtesy in most cases, I will more likely follow you back if you show yourself to be a regular poster. It helps me to learn more about you and where you stand on essential matters and to determine whether or not I should follow back. I have already updated all SM accounts where I am established on this matter.
Currently looking for donation options besides Paypal to present to any readers and followers. Went with Paypal at the time this blogsite was created because it was the only viable option but continue to be on the look out for others. Anyone out there who happen to know of any, please let me know and I will gladly investigate. I know a lot of my followers do not like Paypal for understandable reasons which is why I am open to a change providing that viable alternatives are presented.
I am grateful that we have SM platforms friendly to Christian/conservative content and for non-biased search engines but what we are missing are host sites for small-time bloggers like myself. They are every bit as important as major independent websites and while none of them may be a major mega-phone, each one is still a small microphone and collectively, they can be one giant voice. So, if anyone out there with the capability, whether it be USA.Life, GAB, MAGABook, or even Donald Trump, decides to create a host site for small time Christian/Conservative bloggers where we don’t have to worry about being censored, Contender’s Edge will gladly move all of his blogsite content to that site and away from the google-owned blogger unless God blesses me with the financing and right team players to create and operate an independent website which would be great as well.
Last fall, the blogger administration, for reasons unknown, unpublished my homepage. I republished it again and demanded of them to tell me why they censored that page since they profess themselves to respect free-speech and profess in their policy statement [1] that they do not make a habit in interfering with content posted except under extreme circumstances. I even notified readers and potential readers of the incident as well.
I praise God that I have not received any trouble from the blogger administration since then but I am still praying that God will raise up a less hostile platform to which this blogsite can be moved and if such a platform already exists, that it will be revealed to me.
Acquired a new printer and was able to have the software issues that was preventing my computer from recognizing it resolved. The computer I acquired is not the best in the world but works well enough to get what I need to done. Still, I pray that I will be able to acquire a computer even better than I have now and one that works much faster.
On a personal level, last year, my wife had to undergo a full hysterectomy in an effort to eliminate a cancer risk. Thank God that there was no cancer found in her, but she did have a bad case of endometriosis if any of you out there happen to know what that is. Thank you to all who have prayed for her to have a swift and speedy recovery as she is now in good health.
God is also doing a work in her in that she is drawing closer to Christ than she ever has before. I am not one to express all the details for she is better able to express her struggles than even I, but my beloved wife has throughout her life struggled with OCD and bipolarism; both of which are beyond psychiatric aid but this year, she has been working on leaving both afflictions at the feet of God Almighty, trusting that He will not place any greater burden upon her nor permit her to endure any hardship, trial, or affliction beyond what she is able to bear and that He will sustain her in all things.
I ask for all of you to lift her up in prayer in that God will fill her with His peace, even in the midst of her afflictions.
The blogpost that got the most attention last year was The Jesus Strand: Fact Or Fiction And Can The Gematria Really Be Trusted? [2] coming in with a total of 199 views.
Normally I do not have time to watch lengthy videos, but this was one that I could not ignore and so I watched it and gave a painstakingly detailed analysis of the entire roughly 2 hour video. It was nothing more than an attempt to revive the already thoroughly discredited Da Vinci Code; the hosts of and featured guests of the Jesus Strand video showing themselves to have virtually no knowledge of Church history or what the requirements for the canonization scripture are, devoid of any understanding of genetics, and who think the History Channel is a trustworthy source, and whose grasp of theology is just absolutely appalling. The producers of that video are horribly ignorant of the subject matter they claim to have researched at best and liars and deceivers at worst.
On a side note, if any of you are going to do any historical research, the History Channel, which doesn't really teach honest history, is not any source that you want to rely on as it is nothing more than a propagator of leftist revisionist fake history.
I also went into why the Gematria, which is heavily promoted and propagated within the Q Anon movement, cannot be trusted. I personally put this Gematria to the test myself and found the results to be interesting in some cases, ironic, ambiguous, and making no sense in other cases.
The basis for the Q Anon Gematria is based upon an interpretation of Q drop 40 [3] which appears to be a numerical/alphabetical code of some sort but does not necessarily support the broad use in which it has been applied. We have no idea of its intended application except that the code is clearly applied to certain persons, entities, and places, but there does not appear to be any concrete contextual evidence supporting the use of a Gematria and Anons would do well to take that into account because unquestioning reliance upon this Gematria or any Gematria for that matter can easily lead a person to adopt errant and even soul-damning beliefs and to wrong conclusions about a lot of things and even people.
And as I was crafting my critique of the Jesus Strand video, I also searched the Q drops for anything supporting the claims put forth in the Jesus Strand and I did not find any drops explicitly supporting the rubbish being propagated by the producers of the Jesus Strand.
The Q drops themselves I found, in most cases, to be obscure and vague and whether or not someone believes that Trump has some underground plan in place to save America from ruin and to overthrow the present players of the New World Order is not a Heaven or Hell issue in and of itself and does not necessarily affect how one may view the authority of the scripture. I leave the Q plan to stand or fall on its own merits. It is not, nor has it ever been, my purpose to defend or discredit Q. My only purpose has been to do my part to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to defend the authority of the Bible which preaches the Gospel of salvation which can only be found in Christ.
Based upon my own personal interactions with the Q Anons, I have found most of them to be good, well-intentioned people, some of them devout followers of Christ and who hold to the authority of scripture, who fear and love the Lord, who love their country, and don't want to see it subject to ruin or oppression but I still find myself very troubled at some of the beliefs being propagated throughout the Anon movement which may very well be a result of mis-renderings of the Q drops or interpretations imposed upon them to which they do not necessarily bare witness and those I do have to address in as often as I can when they do affect how one perceives God, Christ, the Gospel, and even the scriptures themselves which contain God's general revelation to the world because the innumerable, elaborate, and clever lies and deceptions of the Devil and his followers which blind men to the redeeming truth of the Gospel and which undermine confidence in the authority of God's Word by which the Gospel is delivered not only reign within the hearts and minds of the unbelieving and in those who have set themselves at enmity with the Lord God of Heaven and Earth, but they can also infiltrate and rise up within well intentioned movements, the ranks of those professing the name of Christ, and within institutions established for noble and honorable purposes and endeavors and therefore must be exposed and confronted wherever they are found in hopes that those blinded to the truth of the Gospel will see it clearly and call upon the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and so that they amongst the saints who may have been led astray from the purity of the faith by false doctrine and whose confidence in the truth of the Gospel may be under attack by lies and deceptions designed to cast doubt may be returned to doctrinal purity and have their confidence in the faith restored and made stronger than it once was before. The preaching of the Gospel and the defense of the faith is the reason why Contender's Edge and other sites and entities like it were formed and established in the first place.
If we are to be products of anything at all we must endeavor to be products and followers of Christ alone and not of a church, Pastor, Sunday school teacher, Bible study teacher, seminarian, academic professor, or of any denomination, religious or political figure, or any religious ministry, or any political movement but instead must bear in mind that these things and persons are but servants and instruments of God Almighty raised up and established for our edification, instruction, and enlightenment, to deliver us from evil, to lift us up in difficult times, to set for us good and honorable precedents for us to follow, maintain, and build upon, and to bring honor and glory to God Almighty alongside us but who, like the rest of us are just as subject to error, moments of weakness, and corruption which is why our faith and hope is to be placed upon the inerrant and incorruptible Christ alone and it is in His truth alone in which we must strive to walk, and it is His perfect example that we should strive to follow and not in the errant wisdom of this world or in the faulty traditions of men which can lead us away from the purity of God's truth, rob us of the liberty that He intended for us to have in Him, and draw into darkness, bondage, confusion, chaos, and worst of all, even damn our souls to Hell for all eternity.
We have been given a written revelation by which to measure all doctrines and claimed revelations and which is sufficient for all instruction in right living and godliness, containing both our history and our future, making known to us the nature, character, and attributes of our Creator, what is pleasing and displeasing in His sight, what He has defined as being right, and wrong, good and evil, how we are to approach Him, His offer of redemption to all repentant sinners and the means by which it is obtained, what we have to look forward to if we will but submit ourselves to Him in everything we do and the immensely terrible and fearful consequences that await us if we should rebel against Him, reject His love and mercy, and the laws, precepts, and guidance that He has given us to order our steps and to direct the course of our lives but yet we count this written revelation which He has given us to be insufficient and therefore adopt to ourselves burdensome rituals and traditions that our Maker did not intend, search for hidden meanings within the divine text that do not exist, make more complicated the rendering of His scriptures rather than simply accepting what they plainly declare to us, attempt to twist them to suit our sinful and ungodly preferences, impose interpretations and renderings upon the scriptures to which the context thereof bears no witness, pick and choose what scriptures to obey or not, or simply reject them altogether and count them irrelevant to our generation and with them the Gospel of salvation itself and to our own destruction.
And when we claim faith in God and adherence to Christ, so many of us merely establish that profession of faith on what we think God to be, our own faulty understanding of who Jesus is rather than upon who He has said He is and when we approach our Creator, we foolishly think that we can approach, worship, and serve Him on our own terms rather than submitting to His terms.
But if we are to know our Creator and Redeemer, then we must find out what He has said about Himself and receive Him accordingly and if we should expect redemption and favor, then to His terms we must submit and conform to His image rather than demand that He conform to ours because He will never conform to our selfish desires nor appease sinful pleasures for it is we who our made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26) and not God in ours and the day is coming when all that which is sinful and wicked in His eyes will face eventual judgment and be eliminated from His creation but that also includes they who take pleasure in that which is evil in His eyes instead of that which is good and who refuse to repent of their sins and humble themselves before their Creator.
But sin is not merely defined by a bad action or a carelessly, insensitive, or cruelly spoken word but is much more; it is the inherent corruption of our inward person from which all outward acts of evil come because sin not only influences the outward acts but also the very thoughts, motives, and attitudes that lead to those acts evil and sinful in the eyes of God and it is this inherent corruption that was passed down to us when sin first entered into the first man who was called Adam and his wife Eve when they had eaten fruit from a tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 2:9)
They had been warned that in the day that they ate that forbidden fruit, that they would die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) and in the day that they disobeyed that one command, sin entered into them leading to the sentence of death being pronounced upon them (Gen. 3:19) but the sentence of death was not confined to Adam and Eve, but was passed down to all of man because of sin passed down to them which is why all sin (Rom. 5:12) and as a consequence, all die which is why it is written, the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) and yet its taint does not stop with mankind but has extended to all of creation which is why the creation groans and travails in pain to this day. (Rom. 8:19-22)
And it is due to the death, decay, and every kind and degree of evil, misery, hardship, suffering, grief, and sorrow brought into the world by way of sin that judgment must come and which must also come upon they who persist in remaining in their sin, but our Creator takes no pleasure in punishment or judgment which is why He bears with the present evils of this world, calling as many as can be persuaded to repentance but a day is coming when He will suffer it no longer and once it has reached its full measure, the sin of this world will face judgment and He will allow no place for anything sinful or evil in the new world to come nor will He suffer anyone who dies in their sins to enter the Kingdom of Heaven because if He did, Heaven would be just as ruined as earth itself presently is. A morally perfect world is NO PLACE for the morally imperfect but because of His love for mankind and in His desire to offer mercy and forgiveness of sins, God is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and it was by an act of love and mercy that redemption has been purchased on our behalf through Jesus Christ our Lord who, being that required perfect sacrifice (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) who offered Himself up to take upon Himself the demanded penalty for all sin by His death and in doing so made way for the redemption of our sin-stained souls and then was raised from the dead for our justification in Him (Rom. 4:25) so that anyone calling upon His name for the forgiveness of sins will be saved from what would otherwise be an immensely fearful everlasting judgment of torment in Hell and cast away from the presence of God forever.
And the day is coming when just as our souls our redeemed from sin and eternal damnation so shall even our own bodies be delivered from the bondage of death and decay when they are transformed from a corruptible form to a form incorruptible and in which no sin dwells (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and then finally, creation itself will also be redeemed when this present world and its evils are done away with and a new creation, in which there dwells no sin, death, decay, darkness, grief, sorrow, misery, suffering, or evil of any sort but in which dwells only joy, gladness, happiness, and peace before God Almighty. (Rev. 21-22)
But that transformation we long for begins within us when we willingly submit ourselves to that Prince of Peace who offers us a peace that that surpasses our very understanding (Phil. 4:7) and who transforms us spiritually from a people who once took pleasure in sin and aligned ourselves with the forces of darkness into a people who no longer follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
who no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
who no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty,
who no longer place our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come,
who no longer relying on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God,
who no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives,
who no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
who no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
who no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
who no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
who no longer rely on the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above,
and no longer trust in corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
This is the kind of transformation that is needed to create strong lasting marriages, stable households, for the raising of children to become godly, upright, law-abiding productive citizens, to return our churches and religious organizations back to being the spiritual and moral conscience of society that they are supposed to be, to transform our academic institutions halls of honest education without any intent to undermine belief in and devotion to God or godly values, to produce media that is fair and honest in its reporting, a private sector that regards the welfare of its workers and deals honestly with their consumers, an entertainment industry that affirms faith-based and biblical values, and government that rules justly, passes and upholds laws that serve the best interests of all people and are profitable for a stable, prosperous, and peaceful society, and which will swiftly and properly administer justice and without partiality.
It is also that kind of spiritual and moral transformation that is needed to uphold the sanctity of life for all people, to preserve the family as instituted and designed by God, to expose, confront, and eliminate as much as possible, the evil that is among us, to protect the innocence of our children, and to defend the God-given rights of all people and it was this Spirit by which a man is transformed from the inside out that led at least five Supreme Court Justices to rectify a terrible wrong, injustice, and atrocity that was enacted 49 years ago; that evil being a Supreme Court ruling called Roe .v. Wade which was imposed upon the nation in 1973 which legalized the systemic slaughter of millions of unborn babies. At least 70 million babies dead over the course of nearly fifty years.
Hitler killed as many as 12 million people
Stalin killed as many as 24 million people
Mao Tse Tung as many as 50 million.
Pol Pot as many as 1 million.
America by way of abortion: 70+ million, possibly even more.
The overturning of Roe .v. Wade is no doubt a huge victory against a most reprehensible and abhorrent evil that never should have happened and that will no doubt go down as among the most shameful events and eras in our history.
But now, we are more accountable before God than ever before for how we now go forth to protect the most innocent and vulnerable among us. We are now more accountable for who choose as our representative leadership than we ever were before and they will be held more accountable for the lives that they have been entrusted to protect than ever before and no doubt that, just as there will be those who will choose to uphold the sanctity of life, there will still be those who will continue to advocate and continue the systemic, callous, and selfish slaughter of the unborn and already the dividing lines have been drawn as a number of states have outlawed abortion entirely, some severely restricting the practice, while others have kept abortion legal for any given reason and God will judge accordingly.
If we are sincere in our commitment to protect the lives of the innocent unborn, we should not rest content with the overturn of Roe .v. Wade. We need to not only see it entirely outlawed at just the state or local levels but we need to strive to have it outlawed nationally and we need to seek out representatives and leaders committed to doing so and not just by a federal law but also by way of a Constitutional Amendment because if we do not pursue a Constitutional amendment that declares the unborn to be just as equally human to the born and holds them to have the same rights as any born person, the baby-killers, when given the opportunity, will pursue a Constitutional amendment granting them the right to the wanton slaughter of innocents.
Even before Roe .v. Wade was officially overturned, protests had already erupted across the nation, threats of violence were made, and acts of vandalism against churches and pregnancy care centers were carried out. I had feared and expected that the level of violence, in the event of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, might rise to the level of the ANTIFA/BLM riots of 2020 or even exceed that, but thank God that has not yet happened.
But our Supreme Court Justices who had the moral fortitude to overturn that evil 1973 ruling, even at risk to their own lives and the safety of their families, still need our prayers for their safety and for the courage to continue doing what is right in the eyes of God and upholding our Constitutionally protected rights.
I do expect, however, that a federal ban on all abortions or a Constitutional amendment banning abortions will inevitably bring a violent response more severe and widespread than we have ever seen and result in abortion states possibly seceding from the union and if secession for any reason happens, I will simply take it as evidence that God is separating the righteous from the wicked so that He may deal with the wicked in a manner that does not bring destruction upon the righteous. After all, God did spare Noah and his family when He destroyed the world as it was known then with a great flood (Gen. 6-8) and He did remove Lot and his family from the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah before destruction came upon them. (Gen. 19)
He also preserved the Israelites from most of the judgments that came upon the Egyptians.
And He will spare the Church from the worst and darkest time to come upon the earth (Rev. 3:10)
which is why that if this nation must face judgment, that it will be carried out in such a way so as to not punish the righteous alongside the wicked and yet our God, taking no pleasure in judgment is calling upon America to repent of its wickedness and return to the God upon whose principles this nation was built in the first place. The overturning of Roe .v. Wade is definitely a step in the right direction, but there is much more to be done. We must invite God back into every facet of our lives and society and give Him due reverence and keep in mind that any degree of protection, peace, liberty, and prosperity comes from God and is given to us because He is gracious and merciful though we ourselves may be wicked, ungrateful, hard-hearted, and even blasphemous.
We routinely cry out to God to bless America, but if America is to expect the blessings and favor of God to be bestowed upon her, America needs to start blessing God. If we want to Make America Great Again, it needs to start by Making America Godly Again and that begins not with our political leaders or even with our religious establishment but within each and every one of us when we commit ourselves to seeking out our Maker and examining ourselves before, examining not only our outward performance, but also our inward person as well and when we do so, that cannot only be a very humbling experiencing as it then is revealed to us that we are guilty, in some form or fashion, of violating the laws that God has set forth for us to govern our lives, but it can also be a most terrifying experience as our inability, due to our inherent corruption, to keep the law of God without fail, shuts us out of the Kingdom of Heaven and invites upon us eternal damnation, and though it may seem unfair that even the most seemingly insignificant of sins should disqualify us from the Kingdom of Heaven, it should also us make clear to us as to why Jesus needed to offer Himself up as that much needed sacrifice on our behalf; doing for us what we could never do for ourselves, suffering the demanded penalty for all sin for a dark moment upon the cross so and raising from the dead afterwards so that we who place our trust in Him for the forgiveness of sins would not have to suffer that penalty for all eternity.
If you are seeking eternal assurance, to be liberated from your fear of death, find yourself ready for a reformed life, and to be a new and better person than you are now, then call upon the name of Christ for the forgiveness of sins. It is but a simple prayer of repentance away:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.

Contender’s Edge has also acquired a proton e-mail account at
contendersedge@protonmail.com
And Contender's Edge is still looking to expand its audience further and as I expand, I will be placing my focus on the platforms that are the most active and will be spending less time on those platforms that are not as active which is why I have not been active on either the Vomvos or Telegram platforms.
On Jesus Social I had 28 followers last year, but went down to 8 followers due to a revamping of the platform which wiped out every account there and resulted in a loss of followers. Contender's Edge re-established its account there and has reconnected with two followers and has acquired six ones.
Contender's Edge was banned from Christian Forums which costed me a follower there due to an inadvertent violation of a policy which was due to an oversight on my part and after examining their policies, I decided that I had no grounds to appeal despite the fact that the violation was not a serious one.

I don’t like having to do this, but because I have been assailed by scammers and inappropriate content posted by SM users on some platforms, I have become more cautious about who I follow or follow back. If anyone decides that they want to be a follower and wants me to follow them back, and I do out of courtesy in most cases, I will more likely follow you back if you show yourself to be a regular poster. It helps me to learn more about you and where you stand on essential matters and to determine whether or not I should follow back. I have already updated all SM accounts where I am established on this matter.
Currently looking for donation options besides Paypal to present to any readers and followers. Went with Paypal at the time this blogsite was created because it was the only viable option but continue to be on the look out for others. Anyone out there who happen to know of any, please let me know and I will gladly investigate. I know a lot of my followers do not like Paypal for understandable reasons which is why I am open to a change providing that viable alternatives are presented.
I am grateful that we have SM platforms friendly to Christian/conservative content and for non-biased search engines but what we are missing are host sites for small-time bloggers like myself. They are every bit as important as major independent websites and while none of them may be a major mega-phone, each one is still a small microphone and collectively, they can be one giant voice. So, if anyone out there with the capability, whether it be USA.Life, GAB, MAGABook, or even Donald Trump, decides to create a host site for small time Christian/Conservative bloggers where we don’t have to worry about being censored, Contender’s Edge will gladly move all of his blogsite content to that site and away from the google-owned blogger unless God blesses me with the financing and right team players to create and operate an independent website which would be great as well.
Last fall, the blogger administration, for reasons unknown, unpublished my homepage. I republished it again and demanded of them to tell me why they censored that page since they profess themselves to respect free-speech and profess in their policy statement [1] that they do not make a habit in interfering with content posted except under extreme circumstances. I even notified readers and potential readers of the incident as well.
I praise God that I have not received any trouble from the blogger administration since then but I am still praying that God will raise up a less hostile platform to which this blogsite can be moved and if such a platform already exists, that it will be revealed to me.
Acquired a new printer and was able to have the software issues that was preventing my computer from recognizing it resolved. The computer I acquired is not the best in the world but works well enough to get what I need to done. Still, I pray that I will be able to acquire a computer even better than I have now and one that works much faster.
On a personal level, last year, my wife had to undergo a full hysterectomy in an effort to eliminate a cancer risk. Thank God that there was no cancer found in her, but she did have a bad case of endometriosis if any of you out there happen to know what that is. Thank you to all who have prayed for her to have a swift and speedy recovery as she is now in good health.
God is also doing a work in her in that she is drawing closer to Christ than she ever has before. I am not one to express all the details for she is better able to express her struggles than even I, but my beloved wife has throughout her life struggled with OCD and bipolarism; both of which are beyond psychiatric aid but this year, she has been working on leaving both afflictions at the feet of God Almighty, trusting that He will not place any greater burden upon her nor permit her to endure any hardship, trial, or affliction beyond what she is able to bear and that He will sustain her in all things.
I ask for all of you to lift her up in prayer in that God will fill her with His peace, even in the midst of her afflictions.
The blogpost that got the most attention last year was The Jesus Strand: Fact Or Fiction And Can The Gematria Really Be Trusted? [2] coming in with a total of 199 views.
Normally I do not have time to watch lengthy videos, but this was one that I could not ignore and so I watched it and gave a painstakingly detailed analysis of the entire roughly 2 hour video. It was nothing more than an attempt to revive the already thoroughly discredited Da Vinci Code; the hosts of and featured guests of the Jesus Strand video showing themselves to have virtually no knowledge of Church history or what the requirements for the canonization scripture are, devoid of any understanding of genetics, and who think the History Channel is a trustworthy source, and whose grasp of theology is just absolutely appalling. The producers of that video are horribly ignorant of the subject matter they claim to have researched at best and liars and deceivers at worst.
On a side note, if any of you are going to do any historical research, the History Channel, which doesn't really teach honest history, is not any source that you want to rely on as it is nothing more than a propagator of leftist revisionist fake history.
I also went into why the Gematria, which is heavily promoted and propagated within the Q Anon movement, cannot be trusted. I personally put this Gematria to the test myself and found the results to be interesting in some cases, ironic, ambiguous, and making no sense in other cases.
The basis for the Q Anon Gematria is based upon an interpretation of Q drop 40 [3] which appears to be a numerical/alphabetical code of some sort but does not necessarily support the broad use in which it has been applied. We have no idea of its intended application except that the code is clearly applied to certain persons, entities, and places, but there does not appear to be any concrete contextual evidence supporting the use of a Gematria and Anons would do well to take that into account because unquestioning reliance upon this Gematria or any Gematria for that matter can easily lead a person to adopt errant and even soul-damning beliefs and to wrong conclusions about a lot of things and even people.
And as I was crafting my critique of the Jesus Strand video, I also searched the Q drops for anything supporting the claims put forth in the Jesus Strand and I did not find any drops explicitly supporting the rubbish being propagated by the producers of the Jesus Strand.
The Q drops themselves I found, in most cases, to be obscure and vague and whether or not someone believes that Trump has some underground plan in place to save America from ruin and to overthrow the present players of the New World Order is not a Heaven or Hell issue in and of itself and does not necessarily affect how one may view the authority of the scripture. I leave the Q plan to stand or fall on its own merits. It is not, nor has it ever been, my purpose to defend or discredit Q. My only purpose has been to do my part to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to defend the authority of the Bible which preaches the Gospel of salvation which can only be found in Christ.
Based upon my own personal interactions with the Q Anons, I have found most of them to be good, well-intentioned people, some of them devout followers of Christ and who hold to the authority of scripture, who fear and love the Lord, who love their country, and don't want to see it subject to ruin or oppression but I still find myself very troubled at some of the beliefs being propagated throughout the Anon movement which may very well be a result of mis-renderings of the Q drops or interpretations imposed upon them to which they do not necessarily bare witness and those I do have to address in as often as I can when they do affect how one perceives God, Christ, the Gospel, and even the scriptures themselves which contain God's general revelation to the world because the innumerable, elaborate, and clever lies and deceptions of the Devil and his followers which blind men to the redeeming truth of the Gospel and which undermine confidence in the authority of God's Word by which the Gospel is delivered not only reign within the hearts and minds of the unbelieving and in those who have set themselves at enmity with the Lord God of Heaven and Earth, but they can also infiltrate and rise up within well intentioned movements, the ranks of those professing the name of Christ, and within institutions established for noble and honorable purposes and endeavors and therefore must be exposed and confronted wherever they are found in hopes that those blinded to the truth of the Gospel will see it clearly and call upon the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and so that they amongst the saints who may have been led astray from the purity of the faith by false doctrine and whose confidence in the truth of the Gospel may be under attack by lies and deceptions designed to cast doubt may be returned to doctrinal purity and have their confidence in the faith restored and made stronger than it once was before. The preaching of the Gospel and the defense of the faith is the reason why Contender's Edge and other sites and entities like it were formed and established in the first place.
If we are to be products of anything at all we must endeavor to be products and followers of Christ alone and not of a church, Pastor, Sunday school teacher, Bible study teacher, seminarian, academic professor, or of any denomination, religious or political figure, or any religious ministry, or any political movement but instead must bear in mind that these things and persons are but servants and instruments of God Almighty raised up and established for our edification, instruction, and enlightenment, to deliver us from evil, to lift us up in difficult times, to set for us good and honorable precedents for us to follow, maintain, and build upon, and to bring honor and glory to God Almighty alongside us but who, like the rest of us are just as subject to error, moments of weakness, and corruption which is why our faith and hope is to be placed upon the inerrant and incorruptible Christ alone and it is in His truth alone in which we must strive to walk, and it is His perfect example that we should strive to follow and not in the errant wisdom of this world or in the faulty traditions of men which can lead us away from the purity of God's truth, rob us of the liberty that He intended for us to have in Him, and draw into darkness, bondage, confusion, chaos, and worst of all, even damn our souls to Hell for all eternity.
We have been given a written revelation by which to measure all doctrines and claimed revelations and which is sufficient for all instruction in right living and godliness, containing both our history and our future, making known to us the nature, character, and attributes of our Creator, what is pleasing and displeasing in His sight, what He has defined as being right, and wrong, good and evil, how we are to approach Him, His offer of redemption to all repentant sinners and the means by which it is obtained, what we have to look forward to if we will but submit ourselves to Him in everything we do and the immensely terrible and fearful consequences that await us if we should rebel against Him, reject His love and mercy, and the laws, precepts, and guidance that He has given us to order our steps and to direct the course of our lives but yet we count this written revelation which He has given us to be insufficient and therefore adopt to ourselves burdensome rituals and traditions that our Maker did not intend, search for hidden meanings within the divine text that do not exist, make more complicated the rendering of His scriptures rather than simply accepting what they plainly declare to us, attempt to twist them to suit our sinful and ungodly preferences, impose interpretations and renderings upon the scriptures to which the context thereof bears no witness, pick and choose what scriptures to obey or not, or simply reject them altogether and count them irrelevant to our generation and with them the Gospel of salvation itself and to our own destruction.
And when we claim faith in God and adherence to Christ, so many of us merely establish that profession of faith on what we think God to be, our own faulty understanding of who Jesus is rather than upon who He has said He is and when we approach our Creator, we foolishly think that we can approach, worship, and serve Him on our own terms rather than submitting to His terms.
But if we are to know our Creator and Redeemer, then we must find out what He has said about Himself and receive Him accordingly and if we should expect redemption and favor, then to His terms we must submit and conform to His image rather than demand that He conform to ours because He will never conform to our selfish desires nor appease sinful pleasures for it is we who our made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26) and not God in ours and the day is coming when all that which is sinful and wicked in His eyes will face eventual judgment and be eliminated from His creation but that also includes they who take pleasure in that which is evil in His eyes instead of that which is good and who refuse to repent of their sins and humble themselves before their Creator.
But sin is not merely defined by a bad action or a carelessly, insensitive, or cruelly spoken word but is much more; it is the inherent corruption of our inward person from which all outward acts of evil come because sin not only influences the outward acts but also the very thoughts, motives, and attitudes that lead to those acts evil and sinful in the eyes of God and it is this inherent corruption that was passed down to us when sin first entered into the first man who was called Adam and his wife Eve when they had eaten fruit from a tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 2:9)
They had been warned that in the day that they ate that forbidden fruit, that they would die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) and in the day that they disobeyed that one command, sin entered into them leading to the sentence of death being pronounced upon them (Gen. 3:19) but the sentence of death was not confined to Adam and Eve, but was passed down to all of man because of sin passed down to them which is why all sin (Rom. 5:12) and as a consequence, all die which is why it is written, the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) and yet its taint does not stop with mankind but has extended to all of creation which is why the creation groans and travails in pain to this day. (Rom. 8:19-22)
And it is due to the death, decay, and every kind and degree of evil, misery, hardship, suffering, grief, and sorrow brought into the world by way of sin that judgment must come and which must also come upon they who persist in remaining in their sin, but our Creator takes no pleasure in punishment or judgment which is why He bears with the present evils of this world, calling as many as can be persuaded to repentance but a day is coming when He will suffer it no longer and once it has reached its full measure, the sin of this world will face judgment and He will allow no place for anything sinful or evil in the new world to come nor will He suffer anyone who dies in their sins to enter the Kingdom of Heaven because if He did, Heaven would be just as ruined as earth itself presently is. A morally perfect world is NO PLACE for the morally imperfect but because of His love for mankind and in His desire to offer mercy and forgiveness of sins, God is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and it was by an act of love and mercy that redemption has been purchased on our behalf through Jesus Christ our Lord who, being that required perfect sacrifice (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) who offered Himself up to take upon Himself the demanded penalty for all sin by His death and in doing so made way for the redemption of our sin-stained souls and then was raised from the dead for our justification in Him (Rom. 4:25) so that anyone calling upon His name for the forgiveness of sins will be saved from what would otherwise be an immensely fearful everlasting judgment of torment in Hell and cast away from the presence of God forever.
And the day is coming when just as our souls our redeemed from sin and eternal damnation so shall even our own bodies be delivered from the bondage of death and decay when they are transformed from a corruptible form to a form incorruptible and in which no sin dwells (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and then finally, creation itself will also be redeemed when this present world and its evils are done away with and a new creation, in which there dwells no sin, death, decay, darkness, grief, sorrow, misery, suffering, or evil of any sort but in which dwells only joy, gladness, happiness, and peace before God Almighty. (Rev. 21-22)
But that transformation we long for begins within us when we willingly submit ourselves to that Prince of Peace who offers us a peace that that surpasses our very understanding (Phil. 4:7) and who transforms us spiritually from a people who once took pleasure in sin and aligned ourselves with the forces of darkness into a people who no longer follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
who no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
who no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty,
who no longer place our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come,
who no longer relying on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God,
who no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives,
who no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
who no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
who no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
who no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
who no longer rely on the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above,
and no longer trust in corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
This is the kind of transformation that is needed to create strong lasting marriages, stable households, for the raising of children to become godly, upright, law-abiding productive citizens, to return our churches and religious organizations back to being the spiritual and moral conscience of society that they are supposed to be, to transform our academic institutions halls of honest education without any intent to undermine belief in and devotion to God or godly values, to produce media that is fair and honest in its reporting, a private sector that regards the welfare of its workers and deals honestly with their consumers, an entertainment industry that affirms faith-based and biblical values, and government that rules justly, passes and upholds laws that serve the best interests of all people and are profitable for a stable, prosperous, and peaceful society, and which will swiftly and properly administer justice and without partiality.
It is also that kind of spiritual and moral transformation that is needed to uphold the sanctity of life for all people, to preserve the family as instituted and designed by God, to expose, confront, and eliminate as much as possible, the evil that is among us, to protect the innocence of our children, and to defend the God-given rights of all people and it was this Spirit by which a man is transformed from the inside out that led at least five Supreme Court Justices to rectify a terrible wrong, injustice, and atrocity that was enacted 49 years ago; that evil being a Supreme Court ruling called Roe .v. Wade which was imposed upon the nation in 1973 which legalized the systemic slaughter of millions of unborn babies. At least 70 million babies dead over the course of nearly fifty years.
Hitler killed as many as 12 million people
Stalin killed as many as 24 million people
Mao Tse Tung as many as 50 million.
Pol Pot as many as 1 million.
America by way of abortion: 70+ million, possibly even more.
The overturning of Roe .v. Wade is no doubt a huge victory against a most reprehensible and abhorrent evil that never should have happened and that will no doubt go down as among the most shameful events and eras in our history.
But now, we are more accountable before God than ever before for how we now go forth to protect the most innocent and vulnerable among us. We are now more accountable for who choose as our representative leadership than we ever were before and they will be held more accountable for the lives that they have been entrusted to protect than ever before and no doubt that, just as there will be those who will choose to uphold the sanctity of life, there will still be those who will continue to advocate and continue the systemic, callous, and selfish slaughter of the unborn and already the dividing lines have been drawn as a number of states have outlawed abortion entirely, some severely restricting the practice, while others have kept abortion legal for any given reason and God will judge accordingly.
If we are sincere in our commitment to protect the lives of the innocent unborn, we should not rest content with the overturn of Roe .v. Wade. We need to not only see it entirely outlawed at just the state or local levels but we need to strive to have it outlawed nationally and we need to seek out representatives and leaders committed to doing so and not just by a federal law but also by way of a Constitutional Amendment because if we do not pursue a Constitutional amendment that declares the unborn to be just as equally human to the born and holds them to have the same rights as any born person, the baby-killers, when given the opportunity, will pursue a Constitutional amendment granting them the right to the wanton slaughter of innocents.
Even before Roe .v. Wade was officially overturned, protests had already erupted across the nation, threats of violence were made, and acts of vandalism against churches and pregnancy care centers were carried out. I had feared and expected that the level of violence, in the event of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, might rise to the level of the ANTIFA/BLM riots of 2020 or even exceed that, but thank God that has not yet happened.
But our Supreme Court Justices who had the moral fortitude to overturn that evil 1973 ruling, even at risk to their own lives and the safety of their families, still need our prayers for their safety and for the courage to continue doing what is right in the eyes of God and upholding our Constitutionally protected rights.
I do expect, however, that a federal ban on all abortions or a Constitutional amendment banning abortions will inevitably bring a violent response more severe and widespread than we have ever seen and result in abortion states possibly seceding from the union and if secession for any reason happens, I will simply take it as evidence that God is separating the righteous from the wicked so that He may deal with the wicked in a manner that does not bring destruction upon the righteous. After all, God did spare Noah and his family when He destroyed the world as it was known then with a great flood (Gen. 6-8) and He did remove Lot and his family from the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah before destruction came upon them. (Gen. 19)
He also preserved the Israelites from most of the judgments that came upon the Egyptians.
And He will spare the Church from the worst and darkest time to come upon the earth (Rev. 3:10)
which is why that if this nation must face judgment, that it will be carried out in such a way so as to not punish the righteous alongside the wicked and yet our God, taking no pleasure in judgment is calling upon America to repent of its wickedness and return to the God upon whose principles this nation was built in the first place. The overturning of Roe .v. Wade is definitely a step in the right direction, but there is much more to be done. We must invite God back into every facet of our lives and society and give Him due reverence and keep in mind that any degree of protection, peace, liberty, and prosperity comes from God and is given to us because He is gracious and merciful though we ourselves may be wicked, ungrateful, hard-hearted, and even blasphemous.
We routinely cry out to God to bless America, but if America is to expect the blessings and favor of God to be bestowed upon her, America needs to start blessing God. If we want to Make America Great Again, it needs to start by Making America Godly Again and that begins not with our political leaders or even with our religious establishment but within each and every one of us when we commit ourselves to seeking out our Maker and examining ourselves before, examining not only our outward performance, but also our inward person as well and when we do so, that cannot only be a very humbling experiencing as it then is revealed to us that we are guilty, in some form or fashion, of violating the laws that God has set forth for us to govern our lives, but it can also be a most terrifying experience as our inability, due to our inherent corruption, to keep the law of God without fail, shuts us out of the Kingdom of Heaven and invites upon us eternal damnation, and though it may seem unfair that even the most seemingly insignificant of sins should disqualify us from the Kingdom of Heaven, it should also us make clear to us as to why Jesus needed to offer Himself up as that much needed sacrifice on our behalf; doing for us what we could never do for ourselves, suffering the demanded penalty for all sin for a dark moment upon the cross so and raising from the dead afterwards so that we who place our trust in Him for the forgiveness of sins would not have to suffer that penalty for all eternity.
If you are seeking eternal assurance, to be liberated from your fear of death, find yourself ready for a reformed life, and to be a new and better person than you are now, then call upon the name of Christ for the forgiveness of sins. It is but a simple prayer of repentance away:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.

Christian Post---Lower
court defies SCOTUS in blocking abortion bans in Kentucky claiming that life
beginning at the moment of conception is merely a Christian and Catholic idea
and violates the KY state Constitution by establishing a state religion.
[Roe .v. Wade was established on a
twisting of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution which does not grant the
right to an abortion but merely protects citizens from unreasonable searches
and seizures. Now justification for the
blocking of two pro-life laws is based on the absurd premise that banning
abortion is establishing a state-sponsored religion.]
American Wire News---First,

Bizpac Review---Customers
are turning against Disney because their entertainment quality has become
morally repugnant as well as the character of the corporation itself.
July 27, 2022
1776 United---Though
we may not necessarily agree with everything in the following commentary item,
what it should make clear to us is that while the unbelieving economist may
measure everything by cost and gain and declare the problems of the world to be
economic, the Christian economist does not necessarily weigh everything by gain
and cost and count dismal economic conditions as but a symptom of our spiritual
and moral condition; in other words, if you want the economic conditions to
improve, there first must be a change in the spiritual and moral conditions
because what spirit we follow will inevitably affect how our economy is managed
and what kind of economic system we are subject to, just as what spirit we follow
will also affect the course of our lives, how every institution operates, and
the nature of our entire culture and society.
Campus Reform---The
Student Government Association of the University of Houston TX has nothing
against a black woman serving in a judicial position of their university as
long as she doesn’t stand upon the authority of the Bible.
American Wire News---Disney
is not the only entertainment corporation injecting queerness into the
culture. The entire entertainment
industry at large has been responsible for this which is why we need to invest
in entertainment that promotes good wholesome values and preserves the
innocence of children.
WND---Not
only that but we need to invest in theme parks more meaningful and are not
known to display a hostility towards biblical principles and American values.
[I’d put my money towards attractions
like the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum built and run by the Answers In
Genesis ministry.]
Bizpac Review---Why

July 26, 2022
Christian News Network---Atheists
demand the city of Akron to end invocations at the start of city council
meetings in Akron Ohio because they claim that beginning a city council meeting
with prayer excludes nonreligious citizens.
[How a prayer at the start of a city
council meeting excludes non-religious people, the atheists do not explain. It is not as if anyone is telling them to
leave during the prayer.]
Christian Headlines---So,
should the GOP block any resolution from the anti-Christ party condemning violence
against abortion clinics?
Breitbart---Ron
DeSantis seems to acknowledge what most other governing authorities will not:
We are engaged in spiritual warfare.
City Journal---The
Los Angeles school system is aware of the mental health crisis amongst
transgenders but persists in imposing the affirmation of gender dysphoria upon
its school children anyway.
Bizpac Review----The
public school system is not the only academic entity that has been poisoned by
toxic LGBT indoctrination. Private
schools are as well which is why parents and students need to be careful as to
what private and charter schools they should attend.

American Family Association---The
overturning of Roe .v. Wade signals that there may still yet be hope for
America, but sadly the following item is right: If America does not turn from the
evil that she currently embraces and back to the God upon whose principles she

our children will choose to follow Christ, but parents can still raise them up
in such a way that they at least know who their Creator is, the ways in which
He wants all of us to walk, the truth that He calls upon all of us to embrace,
and possess an adequate understanding of the Gospel message so that when so driven
to do so, they may earnestly seek out their Creator and cry out to Jesus for the
forgiveness of sins so that they may be saved from what would otherwise be a
Christless eternity of unimaginable darkness and torment and fulfill the respective
calling and purpose that He has placed upon their lives.

Nature---This
may be news that is 36 years old, but what is significant about it is that it
is about a significant discovery that challenged the widely held belief that
birds had evolved from dinosaurs, yet received almost no attention until a few
years ago.
Archeaopteryx had been widely held by
many evolutionists as the missing link between dinosaurs and birds but the
discovery of a specimen called Protoavis had given cause to doubt that Archeaopteryx
was a missing link between dinosaurs and birds because not only was it
discovered in geologic layers dated to be older than those in which
Archeaopteryx was discovered, but Protoavis was shown to have more in common
with presently existing birds than Archeaopteryx and was even classified to be
a bird itself.
Not only does this little known
discovery potentially disqualify Archeaopteryx as being a missing link between
anything, but it also potentially disqualifies any other known proposed missing
links between dinosaurs and birds as well.
The discovery was reported by the scientific
publication, Nature in 1986, and yet in spite of the discovery, the
evolutionists have persisted in propagating the lie that birds evolved from
dinosaurs and that without any substantive evidence.

suffocate them with an unnecessary mask, severely punish them when they don’t
comply with the fearmongering propaganda, cause them to question whether their
gender is defined by biology, endanger them to sexual assault, try to convince
them into undergoing sex change operations that may not only serve to be regrettable
years later, but also dangerous as well, and let them be slaughtered by a

“…he refused to abide by set hours of

repetition of the Lord’s Prayer, and denied the efficacy of outward works for
salvation. He claimed that Christ on the cross suffered more from God’s
judgment than from the physical torture.”
Christian Answers.Net---The
reason why NDEs are never to be a basis for truth and doctrine is because in
such a state, lying spirits can just as easily be encountered as spirits of
truth; deceiving demons as easily as angelic ministers of truth and as the
scriptures themselves warn, even the devil and his minions can take on the appearance
of angels of light and ministers of righteousness. (2 Cor. 11:14-15)
In order to determine whether a
messenger, be they a man or spirit is of God, measure their doctrine, counsel,
and claimed revelations against the doctrines, revelations, and precepts already
given to us by God which is what the Bereans did to determine whether the
Gospel message preached to them by the Apostle Paul was of God or not (Acts
17:11):

Apologetics Press---The
lie that science and faith are incompatible with one another has been a major reason
for why many people, especially young people, have turned away from Christianity
for many decades because the science that they are taught in our schools,
colleges, and universities and which is affirmed by our media, entertainment
industry, and even within much of the Church is not really science but pseudo-science
(fake science).
It is vitally important to understand what science is and what it is not; what it was intended for and what it wasn’t. Once that is done, only then can it be clearly seen that science, true science that is, and faith have no conflict with one another.
It should also be noted that there
are scores of testimonies from scientists across various fields who, by way of honest,
fair objective scientific study, rather than being led to deny the existence of
a Creator, instead have been convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is
a God; many of whom have converted to Christianity and those professing Christ
finding their faith and confidence in the Gospel message to be strengthened all
the more.

MSN---It has been widely propagated within the evolutionist camp that flowering plants did not exist until the Cretaceous period, but recently, fossils of various kinds of flowering plants have been found in mid-Jurassic layers. Evolutionists are hoping that most recent find, a fossilized flower bud called Florigerminis jurassica, may be the elusive “missing link” in the fossil record that they have been looking for.
Even Charles Darwin himself admitted that the lack of transitional forms in the fossil record was a challenge to his theory.
But the authors of the actual reported study of the fossil itself do not believe that the fossils are transitional forms between Jurassic and Cretaceous flowering plants as they have concluded that the fossils do not possess any evidence suggesting that any of them are transitional forms:
“The organic connection of fruit and flower bud in a Middle–Late Jurassic fossil plant recovered from Inner Mongolia, China indicates that Florigerminis, a Jurassic angiosperm, marks an early record of a flower bud. The unexpected occurrence of flowers such as Florigerminis, Euanthus and Nanjinganthus, all from the Jurassic, implies that the related theories of angiosperm evolution lack the predictability required for a scientific theory.”
The fossil flower bud is just a flower like any other. But the evolutionists, in their pursuit to discredit the Word of God, still continue to search for a transitional plant or animal that can withstand any scrutiny, but they will never find that “missing link” and to this day, the missing links still remain missing and both plants and animals continue to reproduce after their own respective kinds as the Genesis account of creation says that they were created to do. (Gen. 1:11-12, 20-26)

Lifezette---In spite of the Anti-Christ party’s enmity towards Israel and anti-Semitism being increasingly prevalent amongst progressives, the Jews who continue to side with those who despise them happen to be left-leaning themselves and care little about Israeli interests whereas orthodox, ultra-orthodox, and messianic Jews tend to side with the right and strongly support Israel but it is the reform, secular, irreligious, and non-observant Jews who tend to make up the majority of the Jewish population in America.
But in order for them to renounce the Anti-Christ party, they, like anyone else would have to undergo a spiritual and moral transformation but in order for that to happen, they would have to first become disillusioned with the current globalist and leftist policies and the foundational tenets upon which those policies stand would have to become thoroughly discredited in their minds before their hearts will ever be open to that transformation needed to draw them over to the side of that which is good and stand against that which is evil, but they, like anyone else, must understand what it is they need to be transformed from and then into and why this inward transformation of their hearts, minds, and souls is necessary, why the God who made the heavens and the earth and everything in them, who is the source of all truth, the definer of what is right and wrong, and good and evil, and before whom all men will have to give an account for everything they have done in this present life, requires more than just a change in our outward performance, but a transformation of each person from the inside.
They must also understand what it is that they must do to receive this transformation and what the consequences are for rejecting it and it is up to us who have undergone this spiritual transformation to do everything we can to help them understand and persuade them of this need.
We cannot expect to win them all over, but we can expect to at least win some over.

The very tactics used to foment hatred of Jews and hatred of Israel has been similar to what has been used to stoke persecution of Christians. For the Jews, it is blaming an entire people for the wicked actions of a few. For Christians, it is blaming an entire faith and its adherents for the wicked actions of a few.

National File---There definitely is no telling as to what the long-term effects of the potentially hazardous vaccines are and that the desire of the N.W.O to reduce the world population is no new revelation, but the possible reasoning behind it is: There are too many people who might resist the establishment of the N.W.O
What is even more telling is that Pope Francis is being called the spiritual leader of the global elitists which is consistent with what scripture foretells concerning Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17.
It has been commonly been believed by Eschatologists (those who study biblical prophecy and end-time events) that the Catholic Church or the Vatican is going to be this Mystery Babylon due to the Vatican resting upon seven hills, but when one studies the chapter carefully, that interpretation may be in error as the hills upon which this Babylon sits is representative of seven kings. (Rev. 17:9-10)
That is not to say that the Vatican may not have a role in the manifestation and establishment of this Mystery Babylon, but we cannot say for certain whether or not they will continue to be a player in this system.
Scripture portrays this figurative Babylon as being in control of the New World Order, or at least appearing to be, and when she is manifested, she may very well be credited for its establishment.
The scripture seems to portray the mountains upon which this Babylon sits as being interchangeable with the seven heads of the beast that carries her; the beast being the coming New World Order and the Anti-Christ who rise up within it.
The heads of the beast represent seven kings, or kingdoms, five of which have fallen, one that was presently ruling in the days the book of Revelation was written, and one that is yet to come.
It is this seventh kingdom over which the foretold ten kings rule and it is out of this seventh kingdom that the Anti-Christ, being the eighth king, arises. (Rev. 17:11)
At some point, this Babylon will outlive its usefulness and be destroyed by the beast and the ten kings (Rev. 17:16) thus showing that she never really had the control over it that she may have believed herself to have.
The same spirit at work within the Vatican is also that same spirit at work within the kingdoms that have already come and gone and will be at work within this seventh kingdom that is to come and out of which the Anti-Christ will rise.
So who were these six previous kingdoms and what do they all have in common with one another demonstrating that this Mystery Babylon was in control of them, just as she will appear to be in control of the coming N.W.O?
One would have to study the history of all the known empires that have come and gone in order to find the answer.

Message To Eagle---If there is a near unanimous consensus within the scientific community declaring that human-caused climate change exists, then why worry so much about the climate change skeptics? Why not let their arguments against climate change just simply fall on their own merits instead of censoring them?

National File---But if indeed the Vatican under Pope Francis happens to be the vessel through whom this Mystery Babylon is made manifest, then the following gives us insight as to what this mystery religion may consist of and it should not at all be surprising if we should see the end of the Catholic Church as we know it as such an event will make ripe the conditions for this new proposed one world religion which will later be replaced by the worship of the coming Anti-Christ.
And if the Catholic Church does fall, it may very well come by way of a schism caused by Francis or by way of the Vatican no longer viewed as a viable religious authority which will probably come by way of a scandal or series of scandals that will be a thousand times larger than Watergate or even the 2020 Election scandal. It will be a scandal or series of scandals that will have lasting worldwide impact.
Catholics, you have a decision to make: Follow Christ or follow the Vatican, but you cannot follow both.

Ancient Pages---Fossil footprints and remains reveal that primates may have once inhabited Europe and were given an assigned date older than that of the australopithecines, including the famed and fabled Lucy, which were discovered in Africa. These most recent discoveries have now led scientists to assume that a number of animals, including apes, may have migrated from out of Europe.
Another possibility is that apes just may have once been more widespread and diverse than they are today. The scientists are right about one thing: Neither apes nor other animals once originated in Africa. They all migrated from a certain location called the mountains of Ararat to their respective locations when they were released from a certain vessel called an Ark. (Gen. 8)

For those who are well versed in Bible-prophecy, Iran’s demise is recorded by the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek. 38) and as for China, there is nothing in scripture to suggest that they will come out the stronger in any major conflict since the last world empire before the return of our Lord will not be headed by any single nation. It will, however, be headed by a man whose origins are not described by scripture as being from the orient. (Dan. 8)
Ancient Pages---No one understands why medieval Europeans would place their shoes in odd places. Many speculate that it may have been a superstitious practice, but what is even more interesting is that similar kinds of shoes have also been discovered in a temple in Egypt and from a time when Egyptians were believed to have still been wearing sandals. There are only two possibilities as to how this could be:
1. The Egyptians produced footwear more sophisticated than once believed.
2. The Egyptians acquired the shoes through trade with the Europeans. If that is the case, then Europeans and Egyptians had been in contact with one another throughout a much longer span of history than first thought. And if the shoes had originated in Europe, then that means that pre-medieval Europeans were more advanced than once believed.

He has also been more supportive of the nation of Israel than any of his predecessors in recent history, including Bush Jr. and even Reagan. Newsweek would have us believe that according to some GOP pollsters that the influence of Trump is diminishing in the party, and yet other polls show his favorability to be higher than that of the Biden creature.
It is also revealed by the following news item that John Bolton believes that the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan is having a negative impact on Trump’s influence, and while it is true that Trump wanted to bring an eventual end to the conflict in Afghanistan, he was not willing to pull out of Afghanistan unless certain conditions were met.
The Biden creature and the Taliban refused to honor those prior conditions set which resulted in the disastrous and hasty withdrawal from the country which resulted in the deaths of at least 13 service members and the endangerment of stranded Americans and their Afghan allies.

Ancient Origins---Mysterious pipes dated at 150,000 years old discovered in ancient pyramids in China; the dated age of the pipes is what is baffling scientists because no remnants of such advanced technology have ever been dated that old before.
Various theories have been proposed for how these pipes might have originated by natural means, but none, geologically speaking, have been able to form a satisfying explanation. The best that scientists have been able to come up with is that the pipes are fossilized trees that had been deposited by flood waters.
[There is just one problem with that theory: The pipes are hollow and trees do not necessarily hollow out during fossilization which, as even some evolutionists have admitted, requires rapid burial, and if they were deposited by flood waters, then that would have to mean that the pyramid structures are not man-made but are a natural formation which would make the embedded pipes possibly the first definite pre-flood artifacts to be discovered, but if the pyramids were man-made, then how was it that they were able to embed the pipes inside their interior? This would have required means unknown to us to this very day.
In any case, the assigned dates to the pipes are clearly not accurate for several reasons and the pipes are much younger than the dates assigned.]

The manner of death in which these people died appear to give some credence to elements of a local legend about large iron balls falling from the sky that killed the people in the vicinity because they had supposedly angered a deity. Scientists believe that these stones may have been large hail stones by which these people were killed based upon the location of the skeletal fractures examined which were found on skulls, neck vertebrate, and shoulder bones, only hail stones are made of ice, not iron. It is possible that these people may have been killed by a hail of meteorites, since meteorites are known to be possess metal substances?
The Greek empire at its height was every bit as vast as the Persian Empire, perhaps even larger; the Greek and Cretan remains suggesting that the influence of the Grecian empire expanded even into India and Himalayan regions.
It is possible that the lake may have been used as a burial place for the people killed by the terrible disaster. It is believed that the people who were killed were part of a royal entourage on a pilgrimage to a shrine.
What remains unanswered is what were Greek and Cretans doing among them. The only possible explanation is that they may have been diplomats accompanying the entourage.
Some scientists believe that at least 14 of the Greek remain sets also died of a single event, but much later than the rest, but due to the location in which they were all found, this does not seem likely.

(Dan. 2:41-43, 7:24, 11:39-43, Rev. 17)
The present players who may be laying the ground work for a one world government and who may be attempting to create or exploit a crisis to their own ends may not necessarily be the ones who see it implemented nor will it necessarily be brought about by any of the possible crisis or catastrophes predicted, nor will all current policy proposals necessarily be made law.
All we know for sure is what is foretold in scripture: It will be Satanic in nature, not starting out in a centralized form of government at first, but will become centralized in one man who will demand to be worshiped as God. Though it is presently subject to defeats and setbacks due to that which hinders, when that which restrains it is taken out of the way, then there will be nothing to stop the foretold one world government from being established nor the Anti-Christ from seizing power and establishing his rule over the entire earth (2 Thess. 2:3-12) but his reign and the reign of the New World Order will be short lived and be brought to an end by the return of Jesus Christ.

Personally, I think this digital experiment is going to fail worldwide and it is going to be an economic catastrophe for every nation that institutes this as its primary domestic currency which will thus pave the way for a one-world currency that likely will not be digital, but will be physical and with a value to it that will be stable and secure and it will also give the globalists and the spirit behind the globalist movement the leverage they need to bring nations under their control and thus bring about the fulfillment of the foretold short-lived N.W.O. that will arise but will be destroyed by the returning Christ.

"...freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children
what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
