Church History Study: 12/14/16

The following is a collection of rough draft collections of Christian/Church history documents online for study:



- The 40 Martyrs of Saveste:

It was one of the strangest episodes in all of military and Christian history--an army killing its own best soldiers. The time: A.D. 320. The place: Sevaste, in present-day Turkey. The issue: Would Christian soldiers obey and bow to pagan gods?

Corroborated by at least 3 ancient authors in history; one of which lived during the time of the death of these soldiers who would not bow their knee to pagan roman gods.   What's not very understood is why Christians were fighting as soldiers at this time.  Did they convert while they were already soldiers?.... This is not known.

Boy Scouts of America going down hill:

Trail Life of America is an organization that started as a result of all this nonsense with Boy Scouts of America.  Lets send a message to them and send our boys elsewhere.  

When we kick God's laws out of our lives, we lose our moral barometer, and "anything" goes.   

Repent!  The Judge is coming soon. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY 2016!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY !!!

It's a special time to be thankful to GOD for His grace and mercy.   
Around this time of year we often come across the gestures of thanksgiving void of God but we should be thankful to God throughout the whole year, and also during Thanksgiving Day especially as Americans.

As usual, these elements of secualarism try and extract the Christian influence within our national identity.  But history shows that the pilgrams of the first Thanksgiving invited Native Americans to THEIR feast, and in light of the Native Americans being pagans, the Pilgrams gave thanks to their Christian God on behalf of the pagans among them as a unifying gesture. 

Today "athiests" are not thankful to God in their lives BUT when things go wrong, they blame God.   Those who don't want to believe in God still want to hate on God and criticize God.    And that's why Romans Chapt. 1 says that those (who hate God) "surpress the Truth in unrighteousness".  It also says, They aren't thankful to God.

"For although they KNEW God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened."
- Romans 1:21

1 Timothy Chapt. 3  states that it is a foolish and sinful heart not to be thankful to God.

We can always find someone to extend thanks to about many things.  However, on a universal level, if there's no object or source controlling it all, then we're giving thanks to chance, and chance isn't an entity that we can apply human appreciation towards.  It just is....

We're not promised tomorrow let alone wealth and prosperity.  All these things we can have if we strive for them, and if the opportunity allows.   But God is the One who sets our feet where we find them, and it's by His grace that we can attain any of the above with health, consciousness and the providence God affords us.  

The Bible says, "Be still and know that I am God". 
I'm thankful to God for my family; our health and all the opportunity God has set before us.  In spite of so many close calls in my life and the lives of my loved ones around me, I'm grateful to God for helping us side-step much worst possibilities, trials and tribulations.



God bless!

"Killary" on Abortion...

I agree with Shapiro 100%.  But the best argument against killing babies will always be God's moral law.

We can use science to make an argument against murdering babies and then what??  The scientific evidence then points towards human rights that can also be taken away from tyrants and despots. 
Those human rights (which aren't afforded to the unborn as per Hillary Clinton).   And even the ones we have now are only good until Obama or Hillary fully morph into Fidel Castro.  And then what??

But the human rights that can't be moved are those that are given to us by God Himself.
People who kill their own babies aren't in ignorance, they know what they're doing.  They know it's wrong to murder their child but our govt. (for the sake of depopulation) has allowed citizens to kill their offspring and that is why it's "baby murder on demand" today.
Taking away that Godly moral stigma of murdering babies in an ever secularizing nation only allows the evil to grow more and more.  

By the same evil spirit, euthanasia continues to grow, and the attack on family values (beginning with the growing LGBT agenda), etc.
All of which are far-left agendas. 

The reason why politicians can yell their abortion stance from the roof tops in pride is because of their reprobate voter base - which are the hedonists that are empowering the politicians. 
Hillary isn't a bigger devil than the people who are empowering her and voting for her.  The people fighting to defend some other person's invisible constitutional right of murdering their offspring are complicit and have blood on their hands also.  There is no escaping it. 

"Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
- Romans 1:32

And this is why God's moral law is the first argument in the "baby murder" debate known as abortion.   Because reprobates don't care about scientific evidence nor objective moral values. And that's why one must remind them that the Creator who is God will indeed Judge all, and He will hold them accountable for their sin as God's Words in scripture makes perfectly clear.


The best apologetics on the issue of abortion is The Gospel of Christ - "Repent, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"! - Mark 1:15

To murder or not to murder...

And then not want to face the depravity. 

America under judgment.  

The Attacks on Jesus...

The attacks on The Lord, Jesus just keep on coming.  From as early as the first Jewish leaders that implicated Him in front of the Romans to the early century Gnostics, down to the revisionist liberal scholars infiltrating the universities, and then to the minds of the youth in our generation. 

Every one of them will give an account for the lies and for the baring of false witness.  And the Bible says that it is by The Lord's very Words that they will be judged by Him. 

"..yea, let God be true, but every man a liar.." - Romans 3:4
