Descent into Madness.....

Mainstream, evangelical Christianity continues to descend into theological madness. So much so that one struggles to process it all.
The past decade has seen a fast track in this direction, as pastors and ministry leaders of a former generation have passed from the scene. The new crop of leadership is not only woefully inadequate, but I believe many of them are knowingly promoting apostate models.
Sadly, Christianity Today (the flagship periodical of Evangelicalism) is now so far left, its editorial board has jettisoned moral authority by—among other things—embracing the homosexual agenda, with all its perversions.
This past week a story broke about Menlo Park (California) Pastor John Ortberg allegedly allowing a paedophile to work in children’s ministry.
(An aside, albeit an important one: Ortberg is anti-Israel, having participated in the odious “Christ at the Checkpoint” conference in Israel, backed by the PLO.)
The paedophile angle is another story, but CT’s report descended into a bizarre capitulation to the perversion culture. In describing Ortberg’s daughter as his son! Why?
The daughter identifies in her homosexual/lesbian relationship as the “male.” From the CT report:
“Yesterday, Daniel Lavery, [pictured above] Ortberg’s estranged son, posted a message on Twitter saying he and his wife had reported the pastor.”
To be clear, Ortberg has a daughter named Mallory, not a son named “Daniel.”
As if it were The Advocate, CT as an ostensibly Christian magazine repeatedly used pronouns in the article that appease the so-called “LGBTQ+P” community!
Remember, CT outgoing editor Mark Galli made news (a bid for new subscriptions?) recently by calling for the ouster of President Trump. This rank politicization is unacceptable. Galli went on to disparage Trump supporters as “jobless” and “uneducated,” though he claims he doesn’t no any such people.
I have known for two decades that CT is left-wing, but many seem to think these developments are fairly new.
Back in the 90’s, CT was dissing creationists and Israel supporters and Bible prophecy enthusiasts. The arrogance of its editorial board and regular writers has been breathtaking. Philip Yancey once replied to my letter asking why he referred to Jesus as a “Palestinian rabbi” by doubling-down.
Former editor David Neff has actively advocated for the Palestinians. Former editor Mickey Maudlin now as an editor for Harper One publishes apostate writers and does so enthusiastically.
With CT’s latest stunt involving “Daniel,” we don’t need further proof that they are mad.
Mad as in insane, not angry. And that should make the rest of us angry.
Pope Francis Calls for Global Wealth Redistribution.
09 February 2020
FROM BREITBART NEWS: “Every year hundreds of billions of dollars, which should be paid in taxes to fund health care and education, accumulate in tax haven accounts,” Pope Francis told participants in a Vatican seminar, “thus impeding the possibility of the dignified and sustained development of all social agents.”
“Today’s structures of sin include repeated tax cuts for the richest people, often justified in the name of investment and development,” Francis told the meeting organized by the Pontifical Academy for Social Sciences.
During his discourse, the pope repeated his conviction that poverty is on the rise worldwide and “the poor increase around us.” “With the passage of time and the advances of civilization the number of poor people increases rather than diminishing”,
Francis similarly asserted last June, and also that “the poor are always poorer, and today they are poorer than ever.”
As a Brookings Institution report noted in late 2018, however, the world is currently experiencing “the lowest prevalence of extreme poverty ever recorded in human history — less than 8 percent,” and that number falls with each passing year.
According to the widely used “international poverty line,” people are considered to be in “extreme poverty” if they live on less than $1.90 per day or its equivalent.
In the world today, less than 10 percent of the global population lives in extreme poverty, whereas just 30 years ago (1990), some 37 percent of the world lived in extreme poverty.
Two centuries ago, nearly everyone in the world lived in extreme poverty.
While in the year 1800 almost 90 percent of the world’s population subsisted on less than $1 a day, that percentage had been constantly falling, dropping below 20 percent in the year 2000 and below 10 percent in the present day.
And yet such pontifical hypocrisy grows each day.
Here's a simple question no one ever seems to ask; Since the Vatican vaults contain a disproportionate amount of the world's great art and literary treasures valued in the billions of dollars, how come no one ever asks Pope Francis why they don't sell some of them and give it to the poor? If they did that they would have endless financial resources with which to help the poor out of poverty, but they don't do it. Yeah, someone should ask the pope that sometime?
First Contact? Something in Space is Sending Earth Signals Like Clockwork, Scientists Don’t Know Why....we do...
08 February 2020
Astronomers from around the world have long been fascinated by the mysterious radio signals bombarding our planet from deep in outer space, with some onlookers linking them to a possible extra-terrestrial intelligence.
A new study by an international team of scientists led by astronomers at the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst Project (CHIME/FRB) in British Columbia has discovered that a mystery radio source in a galaxy some 500 million light years from our solar system is sending out fast radio bursts like clockwork in 16.35 day cycles, including 1-2 bursts per hour over a four day period and then 12 days of silence before starting up again.
The discovery is important, because out of the 150+ fast radio bursts recorded by Earth-based observatories over the last decade and a half, only ten of them have repeated, and none as steadily as the source discussed in the study. Furthermore, only a handful of them have been tracked back to the galaxy they came from.
The mystery signal, known as FRB 180916.J0158+65 was first discovered in 2017, but has continued repeating steadily, albeit at a rate some 600 times fainter than the first bright flare.
In their study, scientists analysed 28 bursts which took place between September 2018 and October 2019, confirming the pattern, and excitedly concluding “that this is the first detected periodicity of any kind in an FRB source.”
The new FRB was tracked down to SDSS J015800.28+264253.0, a star-forming galaxy about 500 million light years from Earth.
“The discovery of a 16.35-day periodicity in a repeating FRB source is an important clue to the nature of this object,” scientists suggested, providing several possible explanations for what may be causing the phenomenon. One possibility is that it is an object orbiting a sun which sends signals out only at a certain interval in its orbit.
Alternatively, it could be a signal sent by a binary star system made up of a massive star and super-dense highly magnetized neutron star. Or it could be a stand-alone object caused by rotation or wobbling, such as a highly magnetic neutron star.
And although the scientists don’t mention it, there’s no ruling out that this could be an alien life-form attempting to make contact with other life-forms in the galaxy.
Yes, those pesky Nephilim are baaack – and will be revealed very soon now! There just coming back to help us – no need for alarm!
