Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that.” He then added, “I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
Nathanael must have been amazed by the words of the Messiah. For a mortal man to see Heaven opens, and angels ascending and descending on Jesus, must have sounded like science fiction of this time. But Jesus was prophesying. Nathanael was most likely present at the River Jordan to repent, and be baptized. There people saw Heaven open, and Father God spoke to them about His anointed Son.
Decision dealt a blow to gay rights activists who for years have battled against religious opposition.
Indians at large do not want homosexual perverts to have their way in public.
India’s Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down a 2009 lower court decision to decriminalize homosexuality, dealing a blow to gay activists who have fought for years for the chance to live openly in India’s deeply conservative society.
The judges said only lawmakers and not the courts could change a colonial-era law criminalizing homosexuality.
The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community across India reacted to the surprise decision with defiance.
“We cannot be forced back into the closet. We are not backing off from our fight against discrimination,” said Gautam Bhan, an activist who had petitioned the court.
It is worth noticing that the supreme court in India has upheld the law against homosexual offenders.
While most of the post-Christian nations in Europe has legalized sodomy, India hold the fort on good moral values. Men who have sex with men are sexual perverts. Still even claimed to be Churches in Europe bless what God of the Bible has branded as damnable sin.
Being a nation with a small Christian minority, the Indian nations expose more Christians values than many claimed to be Christian nations.
The Bible is crystal clear. Sex is a pleasure that belongs to married couples. And a marriage can never been anything but an eternal union between one man and one woman, blessed by God the almighty.
May Jesus the Messiah bless all who respect this divine deal between men and God.
How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.
The Messiah will not return to Earth, if there is no «great distress in Israel» This is on of the sign of His coming. When we see what is happening in Israel and Jerusalem, we can see that the distress is increasing. The outside pressure on the Jewish state seems to be easier to handle, than the Jews starting to fight within them selves. The International wrath against the Jews has nevertheless not yet reached its full measure.
Mandela was flawed human being, full of contradictions and shortcomings, a man who alternately extolled violence and reconciliation.
Nelson Mandela displayed public support of the totalitarian Ayatollah regime.
Imagine a person who planned acts of sabotage and incited violence, resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians and damage to public property.
A man who embraced brutal dictators throughout the Third World, such as Libya’s Gaddafi and Cuba’s Castro, singing their praises and defending them publicly even as they trampled on the rights and lives of their own people.
A person who hugged Yasser Arafat at the height of the intifada, hailed Puerto Rican terrorists who shot US Congressmen, and penned a book entitled, How to be a good Communist.
Picture all this and, believe it or not, you will be staring at a portrait of Nelson Mandela.
The death of the South African statesman last week has elicited an outpouring of tributes around the world, with various leaders and media outlets vying to outdo one another in their praise of the man.
Highlighting his principled stand against apartheid, and his firm determination to erect a new, post-racial and color-blind South Africa, many observers have hailed Mandela in glowing terms, as though he were a saint free of blemish and clean of sin.
But such accolades not only miss the mark, they distort history in a dangerous and damaging way and betray the legacy of Mandela himself.
Take, for example, the editorial in The Dallas Morning News, which likened Mandela to Moses and labeled him “the conscience of the world.”
And then there was Peter Oborne, the UK Telegraph’s chief political commentator, who wrote a piece entitled, “Few human beings can be compared to Jesus Christ. Nelson Mandela was one.”
The truth about Nelson Mandela is painful. Surely he was a victim of racism, and lead a much needed revolution. But he never stopped supporting evildoers outside of his own country.
As a former communist, he hailed Fidel Castro. Mandela also embraced Islamic terrorists Yasser Arafat, and the secular anti-Zionist movement And because of the USA history of imperialism in Persia, Mandela offered his blessings to the Ayatollah of Iran.
The two communist leaders never stopped supporting each other.President Mandela always had a deep love for the Iranian leaders.The ANC leader also supported the PLO and Islamic terrorism against Israel.Mandela did not mind Gaddafi killing his own people.Nelson Mandela hand in hand with former Iranian president Muhammed Kanthami.
Today, a rainbow movement of global “peace makers” are ready to whitewash all these criminals. The ideology is that “love” covers a multitude of sins, and if we stand united we can overcome.
The problem with such a gospel of works, is that the blood of Jesus is rejected. Man can not find true peace, without surrender to the prince of peace, the Messiah.
So be wise. Do not put your trust in the new universal brotherhood of men, but Accept the Lordship of Jesus of Nazareth.
John 1: 50-51
