Contender's Edge

 




Welcome to Contender's Edge

This author admits that this is an amateur blogsite and that it is only in its infancy with its creation and preparation being a step of learning processes for me.  D.H. Manheim is a pen name only which is applied for security purposes and not the actual name of the author and founder of this site.
Contender's Edge is a Christian blogsite dedicated to preaching the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, contending for the faith by defending the authority of the scriptures which give us the Gospel, calling out heresies and false doctrines, exposing the works of darkness, examining trends occurring within the body of Christ, and assisting fellow saints in giving a reason and logic-based defense of their faith.

This blog has been a step of faith for me, as well as involving a risk of getting egg on my face, and so, I have begun my work with what I have been given which isn't much.  I'll just see what God does the rest of the way.  For more information about this blog and, if the Lord should lead you, what you can do to help it in faithfully carrying out its mission and purpose, please visit the featured page links above.

Hats off to this professor.


The only recourse at this point in Minnesota and other states in which harmful and deceptive indoctrination is prevailing in the public school system will be for parents to pull their children out of the public school system and seek out other venues that can be trusted to provide an honest education that is fact-based, truth-based, and founded in common sense.

 
Nauseating.


Airline employee stands up to a deluded transgender freak.  [I pray he does not lose his job over it.]


This hasn’t been the first time women’s well-being and possibly their lives have been placed in danger in athletic fighting competitions and all in the name of transgender affirmation.

Two years ago, a female MMA contestant received serious head-injuries in a match against a transgender who was admitted into the women’s MMA division.  It is a blessing that she wasn’t killed.  If this persists, it may be time for women involved in both boxing and MMA to form their own independent women’s divisions for their own safety.

Granted that in sports such as this, there is always a chance of an athlete male or female, risking the possibility of serious injury or even death (death being rare) but those are risks that participants knowingly take, but allowing men claiming to be women to compete against female fighters exposes women involved in these kind of sports to unnecessary dangers.

Any physician (whether pro-life or pro-choice) who has the best welfare and interests of their female patients at heart will not neglect to warn them of the risks to their physical, mental, and emotional health should they insist on murdering their unborn child; risks they need not have to face if they would at least give their child up for adoption if they don’t think they are able to raise and care for the child themselves.


The Taliban would have us believe that they are making efforts to train and employ female doctors but how do they propose to make that possible if they are banning women from receiving a formal education that men are being allowed to receive?


This one isn’t just about a gender identity crisis but covers much more.


Even when the Church is not persecuted by civic authorities…

 

He hasn’t been the first false Messiah and he won’t be the last either.

Her remorse seems shallow, but countless butchers of unborn children don’t even pretend to have remorse for their evil.
 

Thousands of Christians residing in Manipur, a province in India, displaced by severe persecution by radical Hindus; this displacement costing the lives of at least 80 followers of Christ.
 

Is there no place for victimized women to be safe in Vancouver Canada?
 

If the OH GOP legislature has a veto-proof majority, I pray they will put it to use quickly.  I am very sure DeWine was not elected to enable perversion or the endangerment of children and teens.
 

That is the thing about sin:  It has a ripple effect in some form or fashion, even after we have been forgiven and cleansed of it.


August 16, 2024

Are we all mentally, emotionally, and spiritually prepared for the possibility that we too may face a similar situation?  If not, then we SHOULD be prepared for that day when we might have to face civic punishment, imprisonment, violence against ourselves and loved one, and even death for our faith and commitment to Christ and we HAVE been warned ahead of time by scripture that we will face persecution for our faith of varying degrees and severities.

But we are not being asked to risk or sacrifice any more or less than other followers of Christs who have been persecuted and even killed for their faith have done and in fact a reward is promised to us that we are told far outweighs any sacrifice we might make on behalf of the Gospel (Mk. 10:30) if we are but willing to endure all that is required of us on behalf of the name of Christ and we must remember that the final rewards and sentences given will not be given by man, but by God alone before whom we all must stand and give an account.


Good and that is a start, but there also needs to be the production of shows and entertainment with original storylines as well in order to keep the targeted audience engaged.
 

Scholastic books use to be fairly descent and wholesome.  Not anymore.
 

Now this is reasoning that most may never have considered.


So now, CA is not only offering free healthcare to illegals, but also free sex-changes with it as well.

If they can’t abort them, they abandon them to whatever fate, but the state of Idaho is welcoming actions being taken to help babies abandoned by their mothers.
 

So when do they start exterminating the Islamists out of their borders?  And why haven’t they done it already?
 

It is not at all surprising that Christian charities might be subject to civic penalties for openly expressing their faith and purpose in states like Oregon, or even in some parts of Virginia such as Fairfax and Loudon counties or even in Fulton county Georgia, but in states like Montana, Arkansas, Alabama, Indiana, Florida, and Missouri, that DOES come as a shock.
 

Disney World, where Epcot Center is located, has become a figurative “Vanity Fair” although its depravity is even worse than that of the Vanity Fair depicted in John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress in which a prominent character was killed in Vanity Fair for his faith.  At least Disney hasn’t gone so far as to kill Christians within its walls for preaching the Gospel, but at the same time, Disney has sunk to depravities and a darkness that John Bunyan would have never have imagined facing in his generation.
 

Since when did the Canadian government, or any government for that matter decide that men need tampons and sanitary pads that were designed only for menstruating women?

Satan never sleeps which is why Islamic Jihadis never take a day off, even on Christmas Day.

Justice finally done on behalf of some school students and others who were kicked out of the Smithsonian Museum and other institutions in Washington D.C. for wearing pro-life apparel.
 

It is structurally rotten because it is morally and spiritually rotten.
 

Wallbuilders Christian themed advertisement rejected by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, a Washington D.C. run transportation service and Wallbuilders is offered support from an unlikely source. (strange bedfellows)
 

A blasphemous display to affirm that which God has called sin and all in the name of “inclusivity.”

 
Persecution against Christians becoming frequent throughout Europe and not just by civic authorities.

Persecution against Christians becoming frequent throughout Europe and not just by civic authorities.
 

Why is THIS being taught at the Naval academy.  They should be learning how to be leaders in the Navy, not about CRT and bedroom subject matter.

 
And despite being allegedly defunded, instructors are still pressing on with this garbage.

 
Any excuse for the Muslims to prevent Christians in Bethlehem from celebrating Christmas.

[If there is to be any city in Israel that I would advocate for Christians (both Jew and Gentile) to violently take back from the Muslims, it would be Bethlehem.]


And the most infuriating part about this is that he will not likely face any consequences.


Now this is DEFINITELY something we don’t want at our schools, but if they are allowed to have this at the schools, then we should just as easily be allowed to have after school “Jesus Clubs.”


June 9, 2024


With this attack on two churches in Spain becoming the latest attack on churches throughout Europe.
 

I wish every Christian establishment that has capitulated to the LGBT agenda would repent, reverse course, and return to submitting to the authority of God’s Word.

 
But they have no concern for the safety and welfare of the teenage contestants.
 

And the following should make clear why we don’t want these sort sharing bathrooms and showers with the ones whom they might victimize.
 

Planned [murderhood] branches out in its business of evil.

Kenyan Catholic Bishops covering for the Pope.


Christians in Nigeria increasingly frustrated with either the inability or unwillingness of their respective government to protect them from the intense and violent persecution they face from Islamists and to the point of discussing as to whether or not to take matters into their own hands protect themselves. 
If the civic authorities cannot or will not defend you from those who would do you harm, then what else is there to do but take matters into your own hands to protect yourself and those whom you hold dear?

If the employees simply refuse to show up to work on Sundays, then Chick-fil-a would have a justifiable excuse for not being able to follow an anti-Christ law that requires a business to stay open seven days a week.

 

And we are not fighting for the minds, hearts, souls, and the welfare of the future generations hard enough.  It is not just the educators who are failing the children with whom they have been entrusted nor is it just the entertainment industry, but so are parents and religious leaders.


Hope for a nation in which a majority of its population admits that Jesus physically rose from the dead.

Christian street preacher persecuted for his faith by civic authorities vindicated after charges against him were dropped as prosecutors finally admitted that his rights to freedom of conscience, speech, and religion were violated.

Thank God that there are pregnancy care centers who care about and seek the best for both the unborn children and the mothers who carry them because the likes of Planned [Murder]hood only see women with unplanned or unwanted pregnancies as money makers for them and care nothing for their welfare much less that of the unborn innocent.

 

It should at all be surprising that there should be a philosophical, political, and an ideological division within the EU as it is foretold that the coming N.W.O will be a divided empire.  (Dan. 2:41-43)

And whatever penalty he faces for the destruction of that display should be applied to anyone who would deface or destroy a nativity display.

 

And yet how many faithful observers of the holidays pertaining to Christ around the world risk their lives to celebrate the birth of our Lord at Christmas and His resurrection at Easter?

 

For all the things done wrong in Ohio of late, something right is still being done.

If anyone thinks that this act of apostasy is going to be rectified by Rome, forget it.


The personal website of PETA’s founder reveals that she has taken her organization beyond its professed role and purpose.


This may be an old news item, but it shows how PETA doesn’t care who they offend in the name of animal rights.

Nothing wrong with the proposed medical bill of rights featured here, but the concern with it is that some elements of it may be used to legalize abortion in the name of bodily autonomy.

It is written that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Ps. 111:10) and knowledge (Prov. 1:7) and if the people be ignorant and given over to foolishness, it is because the fear of God is not in them.
 

Pro-life Republicans in Michigan attempt to overthrow a referendum favoring the killing of babies but what the courts decide remains to be seen.

 

That we have the technology possible for the Mark of the Beast ought to tell you just how close we are to the end.

 

The irony of it all is that these feminists were holding an event addressing male violence against women.

 

[I don’t care what side of the political aisle they stand, what their theology might be, or what their station and status in life may be, violence against women is wrong and no man should be laying hands on a woman, but these tranny freaks obviously don’t care.]

 

One mistake that avid apologists for the Christian faith tend to make is being too quick to latch on to purported and alleged evidence for the Gospel of Jesus Christ or the Bible be it in the field of archaeology, science, history, etc. without doing a proper analysis of the evidence and proofs presented.


But so as to not be misunderstood, there is a massive amount of evidence in every field of science, history, and archaeology that favors a biblical and Christian worldview and has vindicated the Christian faith and the inerrancy of scripture, and reasoned and logically founded defenses for the faith have been made, but unfortunately, there have at times been claims of evidences and proofs for the faith put forth by charlatans and reckless individuals which turned out to be false and bogus upon scrutiny which in turn has placed a bad name upon those apologists for the faith who are honest and responsible in their research and investigations.

The following item is just one such reminder that we all need to do our due diligence in testing every purported claim made, even it is made in the name of defending the Christian faith (1 Thess. 5:21)
