THE GOVERNMENT’S CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE, LED BY VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE POSTS GUIDELINES FOR KEEPING SAFE–A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, “ALL BS” … The government’s coronavirus task force, led by Useless Vice President Mike Pence, released guidelines to help schools, businesses, homes, and offices in navigating COVID-19. The guidelines, which look similar to that of restaurant food-safety charts, list simple behaviors — washing hands, handling food carefully and creating spaces for at-risk family members —  that health officials believe could impact the spread of the coronavirus… Vice President Pence also posted images of the guidelines on Twitter. In addition, they will also be published on the CDC’s hub for coronavirus-related information. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, A BUNCH Of BULL SHIT!

Featured Story Satan Soldiers Have Spoken: Supreme Court Declines to Block Vaccine Mandate for Health Workers The U.S. Supreme Court declined to block a vaccine mandate for health workers in the state of Maine on Tuesday, sending a potential green light to state mandates across the country. It was the first time the Supreme Court weighed in on a statewide vaccine mandate. It previously rejected challenges of vaccine requirements for New York City teachers and Indiana University staff and students. Justice Stephen Breyer rejected the emergency appeal but left the door open to try again as the clock ticks on Maine’s mandate. The state will begin enforcing it Oct. 29. The Maine vaccine requirement that was put in place by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills requires hospital and nursing home workers to get vaccinated or risk losing their jobs. Opponents tried…

It’s Only Just Begun — Austrian Parliament Approves Vaccine Mandate for Adults — Don’t Buy Into UK or Ireland No More Mandate Spin

By StevieRay Hansen | July 18, 2022

Featured Story: VIENNA (AP) – Austria’s parliament voted Thursday to introduce a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for adults from Feb. 1, the first of its kind in Europe, with maximum potential fines of up to 3,600 euros ($4,000) for people who don’t comply after a series of reminders. Lawmakers voted 137 to 33 in favor of the measure, which will apply to all residents of Austria aged 18 and over. Exemptions are made for pregnant women, people who for medical reasons can’t be vaccinated, or who have recovered from the coronavirus in the previous six months. During the future tribulation period, the world will be ruled by a godless man presiding over an evil governmental system. The Bible associates this end-times ruler with a terrible beast in Revelation and in Daniel… In Revelation 13 John sees a nightmarish vision of a dragon and two…

Texas Power Plants Are Operational 24/7. Texas Heat Drives Record Highs in Power Demand. What Could Go Wrong?

By StevieRay Hansen | July 17, 2022

HNewsWire: Texas power plants are operating nonstop as a result of the state’s extreme heat. ERCOT, a Texas-based company, now uses conservation alerts routinely rather than just in extreme emergencies. The design of the system itself, which lacks adequate capacity to keep up with load growth, is the issue rather than the weather. Because of the extreme heat in Texas, the state’s grid operator is directing facilities to operate at a historically high rate, often pushing them to postpone maintenance in order to maintain producing energy. For the time being, this has helped keep the lights on, but the short-term perspective is straining a system that is already close to breaking point. Officials have twice in the last week urged Texans to use less energy in the sweltering afternoons as demand veered dangerously close to exceeding supply. According to Michele…

Patriots Are Terrorists, and Terrorists Are Patriots. Biden’s an Instigator of Evil

By StevieRay Hansen | July 17, 2022

HNewsWire: Why are we trying to get more Saudi oil when we might be relying on our own domestic supply? A report that Joe Biden never accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of masterminding the death of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in private meetings was refuted by Biden early on Sunday morning. A reporter approached Biden when he returned to Washington, D.C., on Sunday, and brought up a remark made by Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir. He stated he didn’t hear you accuse the crown prince of Khashoggi’s murder, according to Saudi foreign minister. Does he really believe this? ” The president was quizzed by a reporter. In an instant, Biden said, “No.” How about talking about something that really matters for a change? As another reporter inquired about shaking hands with the Saudi crown prince, the…

JESUS; THE SON OF MAN, AND THE SON OF…. MOLOCH?

By Edward O'Hara | July 16, 2022

Before you freak out let me explain. If you have read about the worship of Moloch you have seen that it makes some people do some incredibly gruesome things. The sacrifice of the innocent being the central theme in this worship. But, did you know that there are some who worship him who may never actually do such awful things? But, they are still complicit with those who do. Because they too believe and teach others to believe in this god whose son was sacrificed to meet Moloch’s demands. Let me show you what I mean. The veracity of the Bible has been usurped for many by those who worship Moloch for almost 2,000 years now. Since 325AD the worship of Moloch is what is being portrayed as the worship of the true God in churches all over the world.…

Satan Soldiers Are Dangerous:‘Self-Spreading’ Vaccines Will End Informed Consent

By StevieRay Hansen | July 16, 2022

HNewsWire: Proponents argue self-disseminating vaccines could mean they no longer have to run complex mass vaccination programs. Critics say the vaccines pose many health risks and would also spell the end of informed consent. In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security co-sponsored the “pandemic exercise,” Event 201. A little more than a year later, when the Event 201 scenario morphed from “hypothetical” to concrete, it became clear that sponsors of the event intended to see the majority of the world vaccinated against COVID-19. Accomplishing this goal is a “monumental challenge,” however. In the U.S., more than one-third (38% to 45%) of adults continue to decline the unlicensed, Emergency Use Authorization injections, despite a marketing blitz that has included both carrots (ranging from the chance to win cash payments to a free order of fries) and sticks (such as nasty calls to “get personal” and “shun” the unvaccinated). Although…

Satan’s Mouthpiece / Lieutenant Pope Claims His Critics Are Performing “Work Of The Devil” — HNewsWire

Black Horse In Play: Full Embargo On Russian Oil Next Week, Will Send Price Above $185—Plandemic Working, Satan Soldiers are Breaking Down Humanity

By StevieRay Hansen | July 16, 2022

HNewsWire: Due to the EU’s imposition of an embargo on Russian oil after the French presidential election next week, EU gas prices are expected to rise sharply. It makes no sense to delay the embargo until after the election. In short, Europe’s bureaucrats are rightly concerned that an increase in oil prices would lead to a higher turnout for Le Pen, which is why Europe will wait until after the election to declare it publicly. Below, you can find further information (and in the full JPM report available to pro subs). Russia’s current account balance is at an all-time high, despite the evident aims of western governments to damage Russian energy output. Exports reached 7.3 million barrels per day in the seven days leading up to April 16, according to JPMorgan, only 330 kbd short of March’s average export volume…

Update:Texas Group ERCOT Has Come To Rely on Conservation Alerts as a Normal Operating Procedure Rather Than an Exceptional Emergency Measure. The Problem Is Not the Weather but the System Design Itself, Which Has Insufficient Capacity to Match Load Growth

By StevieRay Hansen | July 15, 2022

Texas Factories Dial Back Power Usage To Balance Strained Grid HNewsWire: Update, Some of the country’s most powerful political authorities neglected to allocate funds appropriately, resulting in the recent outages of the electric system. There are certain people who need to be held accountable, and I believe the next election will bring about significant alterations as a result of the ongoing grid crisis. For the second time this week, Texas’ power grid operator took emergency action and asked customers to conserve power Wednesday afternoon to avoid rolling blackouts as a heatwave strained power supplies. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) sent customers notices three hours before 1400 local time to reduce power instead of the 18-hour notice for Monday. ERCOT blamed Wednesday’s conservation appeal on record high electric demand and the lack of wind and solar power as a…

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the Lord.

Vice President Mike Pence told a crowd of graduates from the Christian-based Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, that they ought to be ready for ridicule because this secular world is about as intolerant of those of the faith as can be.

There is no doubt that persecution is a stark reality of living the Christian life. Christian persecution is to be expected: the apostle Paul warned that “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus said that, if they persecuted Him, they will also persecute His followers (John 15:20). Jesus made it clear that those of the world will hate Christians because the world hates Christ. If Christians were like the world—vain, earthly, sensual, and given to pleasure, wealth, and ambition—the world would not oppose us. But Christians do not belong to the world, which is why the world engages in Christian persecution (see John 15:18–19). Christians are influenced by different principles from those of the world. We are motivated by the love of God and holiness, while the world is driven by the love of sin. It is our very separation from the world that arouses the world’s animosity (1 Peter 4:3–4).

Christians must learn to recognize the value of persecution and even to rejoice in it, not in an ostentatious way but quietly and humbly because persecution has great spiritual value. First, the persecution of Christians allows them to share in a unique fellowship with the Lord. Paul outlined a number of things he had surrendered for the cause of Christ. Such losses, however, he viewed as “rubbish” (Philippians 3:8) or “dung” (KJV) that he might share in the “fellowship of [Christ’s] sufferings” (Philippians 3:10). The noble apostle even counted his chains as a grace (favor) that God had bestowed upon him (Philippians 1:7).

Second, in all truth, Christian persecution is good for believers. James argues that trials test the Christian’s faith, develop endurance in his life, and help develop maturity (James 1:2–4). As steel is tempered in the forge, trials and persecution serve to strengthen the character of believers. A Christian yielding graciously to persecution demonstrates that he is of superior quality as compared to his adversaries (see Hebrews 11:38). It’s easy to be hateful, but Christlikeness produces kindness and blessing in the face of evil opposition. Peter says of Jesus, “When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly” (1 Peter 2:23).

Third, Christian persecution enables believers to better value the support of true friends. Conflict can bring faithful children of God together in an encouraging and supportive way they might not have known otherwise. Hardship can stimulate the Lord’s people toward a greater resolve to love and comfort one another and lift one another to the throne of grace in prayer. There’s nothing like an unpleasant incident to help us reach a greater level of brotherly love.

Even in the face of Christian persecution, we can press on. We can thank God for His grace and patience with us. We can express gratitude for those whom we love in the Lord and who stand with us in times of distress. And we can pray for those who would accuse, misuse, or abuse us (2 Corinthians 11:24Romans 10:1).

A working definition of hate speech is "speech that is intended to insult, intimidate, or cause prejudice against a person or people based on their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, political affiliation, occupation, disability, or physical appearance." If that is the accepted definition, a Christian should never participate in hate speech. However, the problem is that the definition of hate speech is broadening over time. Proclaiming that a certain belief is wrong or that a certain activity is sinful, based on biblical principles, is increasingly being included in the definition of hate speech.

Ephesians 4:15 refers to "speaking the truth in love." First Peter 3:15 instructs Christians to defend their faith, but to do so "with gentleness and respect." Colossians 4:6 proclaims, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt." Sadly, some Christians fail to follow these biblical instructions. Some Christians (or at least people who claim to be Christians) speak the truth but speak it in such a way that it is very hateful. One prominent example would be Westboro Baptist Church and its "God hates fags" slogan. Westboro Baptist Church is correct in declaring the Bible's teaching that homosexuality is sinful, but they are declaring this truth in such a way that it is intended to be incendiary, offensive, and hurtful. Needless to say, the Bible does not support such methods.

It is likely that in the near future, governments will begin declaring more speech as hate speech, thereby making it illegal. In some parts of the world, it is illegal to say that homosexuality is a sin. In some countries, it is illegal to declare one religion right and other religions wrong. This steady broadening of what qualifies as hate speech could eventually lead to any effort to evangelize being declared hate speech since it would be "hateful" to tell a person that what he/she currently believes is incorrect.

What the perpetrators of this expanded hate speech definition fail to realize (or admit) is that to tell someone the truth is an act of love, not hate. Is it hateful for a teacher to tell a student that his/her answer is wrong? Is it hateful for a building inspector to tell a construction company that they are building on a faulty foundation? Of course, the answer to these questions is no. However, that is precisely the illogic that is being applied to current hate speech legislation. Telling someone that his/her religious views are wrong is somehow hateful. Telling someone that his/her lifestyle is immoral is somehow hateful. The logic is not, in any sense, consistent with how truth is determined in other areas of society.

Our goal is to speak the truth in love. We do not hate Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Catholics, Mormons, or Jehovah's Witnesses. Rather, we simply believe that these groups are making some serious theological and biblical errors. We do not hate homosexuals, adulterers, pornographers, transsexuals, or fornicators. Rather, we simply believe that those who commit such acts are making immoral and ungodly decisions. Telling someone that he/she is in the wrong is not hateful. In reality, refusing to tell someone the truth is what is truly hateful. Declaring the speaking of truth, presented respectfully, to be hate speech, is, in fact, the ultimate demonstration of hate.Source

It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.

Like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament who served secular kings, we are called to serve everyone and help them fulfill their divine destiny. Jesus made it clear that people who want to lead or be great must be the servants of all. Serving is the way of leadership in the kingdom.

Forcing our way onto the world is not great leadership. Some accuse us of doing this very thing because we speak up on moral issues. It is important that we speak up on issues, but it's also equally important that we love everyone no matter their persuasions.

Someday Jesus will rule the world; in the meantime, we should just serve well and let our good works speak of our Father who loves everyone.
