Islam's Savior is Christianity's AntiChrist

Both Christianity and Islam are waiting for someone big to arrive on the world scene. However, they see the same person from two different perspectives. While Iran's Ahmadinejad and others like him would like to speed up the day in which he arrives, the world will have to deal with the fallout, literally and figuratively, of having the Antichrist rule the world for a time.

Videos in the Islamic world are circulating in preparation of the 12th Imam or Mahdi. However, this same person will actually be the Antichrist as described in the Bible.

Turkey's Persecution of the Orthodox Church

It is surprising the Turks didn't drive out the church long ago. That is to their credit. However, how does the population of a region become 99% Muslim when it originated as Christian? By force! The Ottoman Empire is gone and so should the Muslim rule of Constantinople.

Google's NFC plan: data sharing, targeted ads, and discounts

Considering this news alert along with Visa's new plan to enable person-to-person payments and how cell phones can now make payments at points of sale, its hard to deny that there is a pattern here. See topic on End Times for more info. Maybe its time to wake up to what is going on around us.

Google's NFC plan: data sharing, targeted ads, and discounts: "Google hopes to give retailers access to more in-depth customer data as part of its push to bring Near Field Communications (NFC) into the mainstream. The plan is apparently part of Google's underground NFC tests being carried out in New York and San Francisco. Google's testing is still said to be in its early stages, but it may roll out NFC to the public later in 2011.

NFC is an evolution of the RFID technology employed in 'contact-less' payment systems such as MasterCard PayPass and Visa payWave, and is mostly known in the US as a means of enabling wireless payments at retail stores. (Check out our NFC technology primer for more details on how it works.) That's not all NFC can be used for, though—it can also keep track of gift card and ticketing balances, as well as personal information and consumer preferences."

Christ in the Constitutions

Jesus in the State Constitutions

It is clear the founders had the Christian religion in mind when establishing the United States. The Establishment Clause in the US constitution was intended to prohibit a particular Christian denomination from ruling. There was no thought at that time of Islam or Hindu religions, for example. There just were not many if any of those folks here to come to mind.

Only Virginia and New York did not have similar religious references at the formation of our country.

And also make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit: "I, A B, do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration."

XXXVIII. That all persons and religious societies who acknowledge that there is one God, and a future state of rewards and punishments, and that God is publicly to be worshipped, shall be freely tolerated. The Christian Protestant religion shall be deemed, and is hereby constituted and declared to be, the established religion of this State. That all denominations of Christian Protestants in this State, demeaning themselves peaceably and faithfully, shall enjoy equal religious and civil privileges. To accomplish this desirable purpose without injury to the religious property of those societies of Christians which are by law already incorporated for the purpose of religious worship, and to put it fully into the power of every other society of Christian Protestants, either already formed or hereafter to be formed, to obtain the like incorporation, it is hereby constituted, appointed, and declared that the respective societies of the Church of England that are already formed in this State for the purpose of religious worship shall still continue incorporate and hold the religious property now in their possession. And that whenever fifteen or more male persons, not under twenty-one years of age, professing the Christian Protestant religion, and agreeing to unite themselves In a society for the purposes of religious worship, they shall, (on complying with the terms hereinafter mentioned,) be, and be constituted a church, and be esteemed and regarded in law as of the established religion of the State, and on a petition to the legislature shall be entitled to be incorporated and to enjoy equal privileges. That every society of Christians so formed shall give themselves a name or denomination by which they shall be called and known in law, and all that associate with them for the purposes of worship shall be esteemed as belonging to the society so called. But that previous to the establishment and incorporation of the respective societies of every denomination as aforesaid, and in order to entitle them thereto, each society so petitioning shall have agreed to and subscribed in a book the following five articles, without which no agreement fir union of men upon presence of religion shall entitle them to be incorporated and esteemed as a church of the established religion of this State:

1st. That there is one eternal God, and a future state of rewards and punishments.

2d. That God is publicly to be worshipped.

3d. That the Christian religion is the true religion

4th. That the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are of divine inspiration, and are the rule of faith and practice.

5th. That it is lawful and the duty of every man being thereunto called by those that govern, to bear witness to the truth.

And that every inhabitant of this State, when called to make an appeal to God as a witness to truth, shall be permitted to do it in that way which is most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience. And that the people of this State may forever enjoy the right of electing their own pastors or clergy, and at the same time that the State may have sufficient security for the due discharge of the pastoral office, by those who shall be admitted to be clergymen, no person shall officiate as minister of any established church who shall not have been chosen by a majority of the society to which he shall minister, or by persons appointed by the said majority, to choose and procure a minister for them; nor until the minister so chosen and appointed shall have made and subscribed to the following declaration, over and above the aforesaid five articles, viz: "That he is determined by God's grace out of the holy scriptures, to instruct the people committed to his charge, and to teach nothing as required of necessity to eternal salvation but that which he shall be persuaded may be concluded and proved from the scripture; that he will use both public and private admonitions, as well to the sick as to the whole within his cure, as need shall require and occasion shall be given, and that he will be diligent in prayers, and in reading of the same; that he will be diligent to frame and fashion his own self and his family according to the doctrine of Christ, and to make both himself and them, as much as in him lieth, wholesome examples and patterns to the flock of Christ; that he will maintain and set forwards, as much as he can, quietness, peace, and love among all people, and especially among those that are or shall be committed to lids charge. No person shall disturb or molest any religious assembly; nor shall use any reproachful, reviling, or abusive language against any church, that being the certain way of disturbing the peace, and of hindering the conversion of any to the truth, by engaging them in quarrels and animosities, to the hatred of the professors, and that profession which otherwise they might be brought to assent to. To person whatsoever shall speak anything in their religious assembly irreverently or seditiously of the government of this State. No person shall, by law, be obliged to pay towards the maintenance and support of a religious worship that he does not freely join in, or has not voluntarily engaged to support. But the churches, chapels, parsonages, globes, and all other property now belonging to any societies of the Church of England, or any other religious societies, shall remain and be secured to them forever. The poor shall be supported, and elections managed in the accustomed manner, until laws shall be provided to adjust those matters in the most equitable way.

Massachusetts Constitution of 1780

Article I. Whereas our wise and pious ancestors, so early as the year [1636], laid the foundation of Harvard College, in which university many persons of great prominence have, by the blessing of God, been initiated in those arts and sciences which qualified them for the public employments, both in church and State; and whereas the encouragement of arts and sciences, and all good literature, tends to the honor of God, the advantage of the Christian religion, and the great benefit of this and the other other United States of America, it is declared, that the president and fellows of Harvard College, in their corporate capacity, and their successors in that capacity, their officers and servants, shall have, hold, use, exercise, and enjoy all the powers, authorities, rights, liberties, privileges, immunities, and franchises which they now have, or are entitled to have, hold, use, exercise, and enjoy; and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed unto them, the said president and fellows of Harvard College, and to their successors, and to their officers and servants, respectively, forever.

Art. III. As the happiness of a people and the good order and preservation of civil government essentially depend upon piety, religion, and morality, and as these cannot be generally diffused through a community but by the institution of the public worship of God and of the public instructions in piety, religion, and morality: Therefore, To promote their happiness and to secure the good order and preservation of their government, the people of this commonwealth have a right to invest their legislature with power to authorize and require, and the legislature shall, from time to time, authorize and require, the several towns, parishes, precincts, and other bodies-politic or religious societies to make suitable provision, at their own expense, for the institution of the public worship of God and for the support and maintenance of public Protestant teachers of piety, religion, and morality in all cases where such provision shall not be made voluntarily.

And the people of this commonwealth have also a right to, and do, invest their legislature with authority to enjoin upon all the subject an attendance upon the instructions of the public teachers aforesaid, at stated times and seasons, if there be any on whose instructions they can conscientiously and conveniently attend.

Provided, notwithstanding, That the several towns, parishes, precincts, and other bodies-politic, or religious societies, shall at all times have the exclusive right and electing their public teachers and of contracting with them for their support and maintenance.

And all moneys paid by the subject to the support of public worship and of public teachers aforesaid shall, if he require it, be uniformly applied to the support of the public teacher or teachers of his own religious sect or denomination, provided there be any on whose instructions he attends; othewise it may be paid toward the support of the teacher or teachers of the parish or precinct in which the said moneys are raised.

And every denomination of Christians, demeaning themselves peaceably and as good subjects of the commonwealth, shall be equally under the protection of the law; and no subordination of any sect or denomination to another shall ever be established by law.

New Hampshire Constitution of 1784

VI. As morality and piety, rightly grounded on evangelical principles, will give the best and greatest security to government, and will lay in the hearts of men the strongest obligations to due subjection; and as the knowledge of these, is most likely to be propagated through a society by the institution of the public worship of the DEITY, and of public instruction in morality and religion; therefore, to promote those important purposes, the people of this state have a right to impower, and do hereby fully impower the legislature to authorize from time to time, the several towns, parishes, bodies corporate, or religious societies within this state, to make adequate provision at their own expence, for the support and maintenance of public protestant teachers of piety, religion and morality:

Provided notwithstanding, That the several towns, parishes, bodies-corporate, or religious societies, shall at all times have the exclusive right of electing their own public teachers, and of contracting with them for their support and maintenance. And no portion of any one particular religious sect or denomination, shall ever be compelled to pay towards the support of the teacher or teachers of another persuasion, sect or denomination.

And every denomination of christians demeaning themselves quietly, and as good subjects of the state, shall be equally under the protection of the law: and no subordination of any one sect or denomination to another, shall ever be established by law.

And nothing herein shall be understood to affect any former contracts made for the support of the ministry; but all such contracts shall remain, and be in the same state as if this constitution had not been made.

King James Version v. Modern Translations of the Bible

The King James Version Bible (KJV) is 400 years old, so its time to take a closer look at how it measures up to modern translations. There are several reasons to prefer the older version. However, there are also compelling reasons to prefer the newer translations. While this comparison leans more toward the KJV, its is not our intent to say that it is the sole version one should use. Since any English translation is just that, a translation (from the original Greek and Hebrew), at least 2 or more translations should be always be used.

One should note that the bible is the most reliable historic text compared to other documents such as those from Aristotle or Homer. However, it is not the purpose of this review to cover the reasons that this is true. It is. The purpose of this review is to illustrate some of the actual differences without going too far into the “KJV only” debate. The King James Version is not inspired in the way the original Greek and Hebrew were inspired. It has it limitations and its errors in the translation. Those who maintain that it is inerrant are misguided. God’s Word is inerrant, but no translation is.

The reason the KJV version is different than most modern translations such as the New International Version (NIV) and the New American Standard Version is that the KJV is based on a vast amount of historic texts that are relatively newer than the more limited number of older documents upon which the the modern versions are based. This is because the modern translation documents were not discovered until the 1800’s.

Remember that since this is the Word of God, care should be taken in its translation. The reader should examine closely how the text changes between the KJV and the modern translations especially when considering the names of the deity.

Missing text is illustrated in BOLD italics. The NIV is shown since that is the most widely of the modern translations. However, there are similar issues with others such as the New American Standard Version and the English Standard Version.
