Genesis 7:11-12 “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. “
‘It is said that the tongue-twister “she sells sea shells on the seashore” refers to Mary Anning (1799-1847). However, Anning was not selling sea shells at Lyme Regis, but rather fossils that she had discovered on the beach. It is interesting that, while this pioneer paleontologist was not selling shells on the beach, there have been found fossil sea shells on mountains and well inland. When I was a youth, my family often traveled to the Peak District National Park, which is about as far away from the coast as you can get on the island of Great Britain, being about a three hours drive from the nearest sea. Yet, walking over the hills, we would always find fossil clams and the like. It is estimated that perhaps 95% of the fossils you will find are marine invertebrates. Evolutionary geologists think that there may have been periods when continents sunk lower than sea level, but the rock of which continents are formed is less dense than that of the ocean floor. So how do Christians explain this fact?
The Leftist Loony Lovies are out for our children and grandchildren. Proverbs 1:15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path
‘A Christian school teaching assistant who was fired from Farmor’s School in Fairford, Gloucestershire last year after she shared concerns about plans to teach that gender is a matter of choice to young school children is seeking £56,000 ($71,560) in damages at a UK employment tribunal.
Christie Higgs had worked at the school for seven years before being fired over two Facebook posts which didn’t mention her employer and were shared under her maiden name to around 100 of her friends. The investigation that ultimately resulted in Higgs being terminated was triggered by a single anonymous complaint.
In the first October 24, 2018 Facebook post, Higgs shared her concerns about a UK government consultation into making Relationships and Sex Education mandatory in schools, described the proposal as “brainwashing our children,” and linked to a petition opposing the government’s plans.
In the second October 27, 2018 Facebook post, Higgs linked to an article about schools using brightly illustrated children’s books to teach children about transgender ideology and wrote: “This is happening in our Primary Schools now! ”. The books featured in the article include a book about a boy who wants to wear a dress and a book about a red crayon that discovers it’s really blue.
At the time of the second post, Higgs had discovered that several of these books had been introduced at her son’s Church of England primary school.
After Higgs made the first Facebook post, a single anonymous complaint was made to the school on October 26, 2018 which accused her of “posting homophobic and prejudiced views against the LGBT community on Facebook.”
Days after this complaint, Higgs was suspended, investigated, and ultimately dismissed in January 2019 after a disciplinary hearing.
According to the Christian Legal Center, which is representing Higgs, the school indicated that Higgs was terminated for “illegal discrimination, serious inappropriate use of social media, and online comments that could bring the school into disrepute and damage the reputation of the school.”
However, the school admitted that there was “no evidence” its reputation had been damaged to date.
Higgs has also accused a school governor and the disciplinary hearing’s chairman of branding her a “pro-Nazi,” “far-right” extremist during the disciplinary hearing.
Additionally, Higgs said that while she was being investigated, the school had trawled through her work emails, questioned why she had used her school email to receive “inspirational” quotations from the Bible, and told her that she had no absolute rights to freedom of expression or to share her religious beliefs.
In a statement submitted to the employment tribunal, Higgs said: “I believe that God created mankind as ‘male and female’ and what he has created is good. He does not make mistakes. I therefore do not believe in the modern ideas of gender fluidity and transgenderism.”
Higgs added that she was concerned that many parents across the country didn’t know what was going on and that she felt it “morally necessary to speak out in defense of the Bible truth when false and harmful doctrines are being promoted.”
The chief executive of the Christian Legal Center, Andrea Williams, told MailOnline: “This case is about the freedom to hold Christian views about what it means to be human. Many Christians have faced pressure for expressing these views in the workplace before, but in this case, Kristie has been dismissed for sharing her views among friends on Facebook.”
Williams added that Higgs has an exemplary record at the school and that if she doesn’t win the case, her entire career will be tarnished and she won’t be able to work with children again.
“I have been punished for sharing concerns about relationships and sex education,” Higgs said. “My number one concern has always been the effect that learning about sex and gender in school will have on children at such a young age.”
Higgs’ case against her former employer follows several other people being fired after challenging transgender ideology on social media.
Last month, assistant literary agent Sasha White was fired from her job at The Tobias Literary Agency after transgender activists complained that her alternative Twitter account, which made no reference to her employer, was “transphobic.”
And earlier this month, Canadian political candidate Roland Michaud was dropped by his party after online complaints about an almost two year old meme about Target’s 2016 announcement that it would be allowing “transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.”
In addition to people being fired for opposing transgender ideology, many major institutions, including TedXLondon and CNN, are erasing references to women in their public statements and articles and replacing it with terms such as “individuals with a cervix” as part of a push towards more “inclusive” language.’https://reclaimthenet.org/christie-higgs-employment-tribunal-lgbt-facebook-posts/
Killing babies in the womb is murder and those who promote it and perform it are therefore murderers!
‘Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who defended what she argued was a constitutional “right” to partial-birth abortion, passed away on Friday night. She was 87 years old.
In the 2000 case of Stenberg vs. Carhart and the 2007 case of Gonzales vs. Carhart, Ginsburg made clear her view that the U.S. Constitution protected a “right” to abortion (as the court had ruled in the 1973 case of Roe vs. Wade and the 1992 case of Planned Parenthood vs. Casey) and that this right extended to the practice of partial-birth abortion.
The 2000 case of Stenberg vs. Carhart focused on a Nebraska state law that outlawed partial-birth abortions. At the time, there were also 29 other states that banned partial-birth abortions.
The court ruled 5-4 in Stenberg that Nebraska’s partial birth abortion law was unconstitutional. The five-justice majority included Justices Stephen Breyer, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O’Connor, David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Chief Justice William Rehnquist dissented as did Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas.
In his dissenting opinion in Stenberg, Justice Thomas described the partial-birth abortion procedure which the court’s majority declared a constitutional right.
“Although there are variations, it is generally performed as follows: After dilating the cervix, the physician will grab the fetus by its feet and pull the fetal body out of the uterus into the vaginal cavity. At this stage of development, the head is the largest part of the body. Assuming the physician has performed the dilation procedure correctly, the head will be held inside the uterus by the women’s cervix. While the fetus is stuck in this position, dangling partly out of the woman’s body, and just a few inches from a completed birth, the physician uses an instrument such as a pair of scissors to tear or perforate the skull. The physician will then either crush the skull or will use a vacuum to remove the brain and other intracranial contents from the fetal skull, collapse the fetus’ head, and pull the fetus from the uterus.”
In her own opinion, concurring in the court’s decision to throw out the Nebraska law banning partial-birth abortion, Justice Ginsburg cited Parenthood vs. Casey and said that the partial-birth abortion ban “violates the Constitution.”
“A state regulation that ‘has the purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus’ violates the Constitution,” Ginsburg wrote in her Stenberg opinion.
Seven years later, in the case of Gonzales vs. Carhart, the court reviewed a federal ban on partial-birth abortion. This time the court ruled 5-4 in favor of the partial-birth abortion ban. Justice Ginsburg wrote the dissent in which Justices Stevens, Souter and Breyer joined.
In this dissent, Ginsburg argued that it was “irrational” to ban partial-birth abortion.
“In sum,” wrote Ginsburg, “the notion that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act furthers any legitimate governmental interest is, quite simply, irrational.”
She then argued that the court’s opinion upholding the partial-birth abortion ban was part of an “effort to chip away” at the “right” to abortion.
The following article is a warning that Jerry Jr. should be on suicide watch. The indicators are there.
‘Less than a week after resigning as president of Liberty University, Jerry Falwell Jr. was injured in a fall after drinking, according to 911 transcripts and audio obtained by the Huffington Post.
The Sept. 17 Huffington Post report said Falwell’s wife, Becki Falwell, called 911 on August 30 to report her husband had fallen down the stairs and was bleeding. According to the report, Becki Falwell told the dispatcher her husband had been drinking but would not say if he had been “drinking heavily.”
“I’m not going to answer that question,” she reportedly said.
According to the Huffington Post, Jerry Falwell Jr. refused to let his wife take him to the hospital, but a first responder who went to the Falwells’ home found he had cuts on his face and slurred speech. The cuts were reportedly from a trash can that had empty alcohol containers in it.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Liberty officials had heard complaints about Jerry Falwell Jr. coming to campus while drunk. Falwell denied those claims.
Faculty and students at Liberty, one of the country’s largest Christian universities, are barred from drinking. Staff are allowed to drink but could be fired if they show up to work under the influence.
There is a BIG problem here. Well, in fact there are many problems but one problem is that there is a double standard in that the students are to be total abstainers of alcohol BUT staff are not!? This just may be the way contemporary Christianity works but it’s not God’s way. When professing Christians begin to argue for the ‘right’ to drink alcohol it is obvious there are other ‘legalistic’ prohibitions they will desire sanctioned. There is no limit to the list. There’s the contemporary religious ‘dialogues’ concerning gender fluidity, alcohol use, abortion, sodomy, same-sex marriage, etc. etc. and the list goes on. Once the flood gate is opened it is very hard to close. If Jerry Sr. was alive today he just might quote Proverbs 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. 20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
Democracy is a great thing, isn’t it? We vote in people who then control EVERY facet of life! Ronald Reagan was so right when he said the scariest words are ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you’. Well, the New Zealand government’s announcement for mandatory disclosures of climate-related risks for financial institutions and companies has made the ‘…announcement of of climate-related risks for companies and financial institutions is arguably the New Zealand government’s most significant climate policy — even more so than the Zero Carbon Act itself.
The new policy will come into effect in 2023. It requires all banks, asset managers and insurance companies with more than NZ$1 billion in assets to disclose their climate risks, in line with the emerging global standard from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This is a smart move, as it ties risk disclosure to international best practice, which is likely to evolve in the coming years.
The following article is from the Leftist Loony Marxist Lovie The Conversation. This article is supposed to tell us about real scientists supporting ‘where am I’ Joe Biden because President Trump doesn’t believe in ‘real’ science. Oh, before reading the article these are the same real scientists that believe in macro-evolution, climate change, communism/Marxism and fairies.
‘In an unprecedented step, prestigious science publicationScientific American has launched a scathing attack on President Donald Trump and endorsed his opponent, Democratic candidate Joe Biden, in the upcoming US election. It’s the first presidential endorsement in the magazine’s 175-year history.
To this, we say: about bloody time! As we’ve noted before:
Science is political. The science we do is inherently shaped by the funding landscape of government and the problems and issues of society. This means that to have any influence on how science is organised and funded in Australia (or the US or any other country), we as scientists and science communicators must act in ways that matter in the arena of politics.
It’s now more critical than ever, as the editors at Scientific American clearly lay out, that the people who are actually knowledgeable about the world’s crises speak out and represent that knowledge (or “collective wisdom”) in public, out loud and with their names attached.
Diversity!? One would think that any organization, whether Christian or not, would desire to have the most qualified to run the organization! Well, qualifications don’t seem to be the only criteria.
‘A look at the 50 largest U.S. ministries in the MinistryWatch database shows that executive team leaders—chief executive officers, presidents, and the like—are overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly male.
Of the 50 nonprofits, seven are led by minority males and five are led by females. Only two companies are led by black men—one is African American and the other African. Three are led by Asian men and two by Hispanic Americans. The largest Christian nonprofit based in the U.S., World Vision, is led by a minority male. None of the female CEOs are women of color.’ For the whole article go to https://ministrywatch.com/christian-nonprofit-ceos-mostly-white-mostly-male/
When the sun shines and the wind blows all just might go well for those who believe these two ‘renewables’ will provide the energy the nation needs to survive. However, the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. So when that occurs what then?
Well, government knows best so what do they do?
‘The Australian Government today announced new long term funding and an expanded focus for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency that will secure its future beyond 2022.
The Prime Minister and Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction today announced a total funding package of $1.62 billion for ARENA including guaranteed baseline funding of $1.43 billion over the next ten years.’https://arena.gov.au/news/arena-welcomes-new-funding/
More tax dollars thrown down the Climate Scam Hole!
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 “For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?”
‘Climate-change alarmists are also concerned about animals like cows delivering methane and CO2 into the atmosphere. Another creature causing climate change concerns is the elephant. But criticism of the effects caused by elephants would not be politically correct, as the particular species concerned is currently facing extinction.
The African Forest Elephant is the smallest of the three extant species of elephants – the other two being the African Bush Elephant (which is the largest), and the Indian Elephant. Forest elephants live mostly in the forests of West Africa, and, while feeding, cause a considerable amount of damage. As they are uprooting their favorite plants and gathering hundreds of types of fruit, many of their food sources are destroyed. If forest elephants were more common, I can imagine a culling exercise being proposed to save their forests, but their scarcity has encouraged further scientific research. This research has shown that the type of trees that the elephants damage are faster-growing trees which do not “soak up” as much carbon dioxide as the slower-growing trees which the elephants ignore. Computer projections have suggested that if the forest elephant became extinct, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere might increase. So, fortunately for climate-change alarmists, a politically correct reason to save the elephant can be argued. A biblical case for saving the forest elephant would be different and would reflect our concern to be good stewards of God’s creation.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/elephants-cause-climate-change/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=elephants-cause-climate-change&mc_cid=a02f84e3df&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

‘In the 2020 world where even “qualified” professors tell us anybody in any body can be a woman, we are living in a day when you a see a Bible statement coming true in front of your eyes. “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” wrote Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:11. You and I need to remember how this sequence starts at any time in history and particularly at the end times. As Romans 1 describes it, this all commences with a seemingly little thing – when people cease giving thanks to God daily for all their benefits. That sets into motion an increasingly downhill path in morality and even mentality that is built into the Creation, which ends with the Creator God’s judgement. People become so deceived they will even change their sexual behaviour to that which is not only self-harming, but is completely offensive in the Creator’s sight, and they can no longer even see what sex is. Worse still, they are now training up their own children with the same such lies, so the Next Gen are becoming incapable of recognising their own sex. You and I have to realise that in this wilfully devolving world – men and women are not neutral processors of information bound to find truth and act on it. Neither is science neutral nor capable of researching, free of prejudice. We are sinners and scientific theories never release humans from this bondage. All of us need a saviour, and there is only one. Allah never claims to be this saviour; the Indian goddess of death Kali is definitely not. Only Jesus Christ, Creator of the heavens and the earth, qualifies to deal with your sin and mine.’https://creationresearch.net/newsletters/
