IF THE ROOT BE HOLY SO ARE THE BRANCHES
"For I speak to you Gentiles,inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,I magnify mine office:
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh,and might save some of them.
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world,what shall the receiving of them be,but life from the dead?
For if the firstfruit be holy,the lump is also holy:and if the root be holy,so are the branches.
And if some of the branches be broken off,and thou,being a wild olive tree,wert grafted in among them,and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Boast not against the branches.But if thou boast,thou bearest not the root,but the root thee.
Thou wilt say then,The branches were broken off,that I might be grafted in.
Well;because of unbelief they were broken off,and thou standest by faith.Be not highminded,but fear:
For if God spared not the natural branches,take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God:on them which fell,severity;but toward thee,goodness,if thou continue in his goodness:otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
And they also,if they abide not still in unbelief,shall be grafted in:for God is able to graft them in again.
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature,and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree:how much more shall these,which be the natural branches,be grafted into their own olive tree?"
Romans 11:13-24

China insists torch will go through Tibet

Zhang Qingli, the most senior Chinese Communist Party official in Tibet, told local leaders that Beijing was in no mood to listen to the demands of demonstrators calling for the route to be changed.In a statement on the Tibet government website Sunday, Zhang said Tibet was determined to play its part in a successful Olympics by hosting the torch relay on June 19 and 20 and overseeing the flame's ascent of Mount Everest in May.He urged the people to "deepen their drive to complete the glorious, important and arduous task" of having the torch pass through Tibet.Zhang was quoted by the official Xinhua news agency as saying that officials needed to keep a "clear head" in the struggle against the so-called "Dalai clique," which he said was far from over.China blames Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama for protests that began in Tibet's capital, Lhasa, on March 10, and then escalated into rioting in the city four days later.Protests also spread to many other areas of western China with Tibetan populations.China says Tibetan rioters have killed 20 people. But Tibet's government in exile Saturday raised to more than 150 the number of Tibetans it said were killed in China's crackdown on the demonstrations.Indicating the protests were continuing, Xinhua reported police fired warning shots at "rioters" in Garze county, Sichuan province, on Thursday after the protesters seriously injured a local official.But Tibetan activist groups said police fired directly into the protesters, killing at least eight.The unrest has triggered worldwide protests over the Beijing Olympics, with pro-Tibet activists demanding that the torch relay be diverted from Tibet.The Olympic torch is scheduled to make an ascent of Everest, the world's highest peak, in May. In June it is to travel through Lhasa.The relay has already run into trouble after beginning its journey around the world, which concludes with the opening ceremony of the Games in the Chinese capital on August 8.Protesters disrupted the torch lighting ceremony last month in Greece and have staged demonstrations at various points along the route so far.Later Sunday the torch was to be carried through London, where more protests were expected. Further demonstrations are planned when the relay travels to Paris on Monday and then on to San Francisco on Wednesday.Pro-Tibet protesters have been joined by human rights groups which accuse Beijing of cracking down on individual freedoms in the run-up to the Olympics in order to silence critics of the regime.They cite the jailing of dissidents including AIDS activist Hu Jia, sentenced to three and a half years in prison on Thursday for subversion. His crimes include talking and writing about communist party corruption, freedom and human rights.Rights group Amnesty International said last week that human rights in China had suffered as a direct result of Beijing being awarded the right to host the Games. China promised to improve human rights in its campaign to win the Games.Various rights groups have called for heads of state to boycott the August 8 opening ceremony, a proposal which has yet to be ruled out by some leaders, including French President Nicolas Sarkozy.International Olympic Committee (IOC) head Jacques Rogge has said he believes there is no "real momentum" for a boycott although individual leaders were entitled to make up their own minds.Rogge said that human rights and other issues will be on the agenda when the IOC's executive board meets in Beijing on Thursday and Friday.

SIGN of the TIMES:Families in meltdown, judge says

'Broken' families
"What is certain is that almost all of society's social ills can be traced directly to the collapse of the family life," he said.However, Mr Justice Coleridge, who heads family courts in the south west of England, did not criticise single parents directly."I am not saying every broken family produces dysfunctional children but I am saying that almost every dysfunctional child is the product of a broken family."What is government doing to recognise and face up to the emerging situation? The answer is: very little and nothing like enough."It is fiddling whilst Rome burns."
Mr Justice Coleridge outlined a number of recommendations to improve the societal ills he described.The suggestions included placing family justice at the top of the political agenda; allocating more staffing and money to family issues; better funding for contact centres to aid family cohesion; and extensive reforms of the laws relating to divorce, cohabitation and financial relief.On the issue of legal reforms, Mr Justice Coleridge said divorce law and those relating to financial orders were "last properly reformed two generations ago, in the mid-60s, when society was altogether different."The current laws are not suited to modern social mores of the way we live now."
'Challenging circumstances'
A spokeswoman for the Department for Children, Families and Schools said: "Most children and young people in England today are safe, healthy, and achieve well."She added: "We do not agree that there has been a breakdown in the family - 70% of families are headed by a married couple.
"And a recent BBC poll suggests that three-quarters of people in Britain are optimistic about the future of their families, 24% higher than when the same question was asked in 1964."The spokeswoman said the Children's Plan put children and families at the centre of everything the government did.Meanwhile, more than £250m was being spent developing local services for parents in England, focusing on those in "challenging circumstances".David Laws, the Liberal Democrat spokesman for children, schools and families, said the judge was highlighting trends dating back at least 20 years."This government is not the source of the family breakdown problem but policies such as the operation of tax credits have made it more difficult for some families to bring up children in stable, two-parent households," he said.

SALVATION IS COME UNTO THE GENTILES....
"What then?Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for;but the election hath obtained it,and the rest were blinded.
(According as it is written,God hath given them the spirit of slumber,eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;)unto this day.
And David saith,Let their table be made a snare,and a trap,and a stumblingblock,and a recompence unto them:
Let their eyes be darkened,that they may not see,and bow down their back alway.
I say then,Have they stumbled that they should fall?God forbid:but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles,for to provoke them to jealousy.
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world,and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles;how much more their fulness?"
Romans 11:7-12

Islamic fighters seize Somalia town

The al-Shaabab fighters also captured four armed government vehicles during the fighting.
However, the Islamists controlled the town only briefly, and withdrew on Wednesday ahead of the return of the Ethiopian-backed government forces, who arrived in eight military vehicles. The Islamists moved back into to the town once more on Thursday afternoon, when the government forces left. The government forces returned later that day, and the al-Shaabab fighters retreated for a final time.Witnesses said they spotted a prominent member of the al-Shaabab forces near the village later Thursday. More than 30 armed vehicles were guarding him, they said.In another central Somali town, Adaado, al-Shaabab forces battled Ethiopian-backed Somali forces for six hours on Thursday, in fighting that left 17 people dead, including three civilians.The Islamist fighters destroyed two military tanks and captured eight other military vehicles from government forces stationed in Adaado, before forcing them to withdraw to a nearby town and across the Ethiopian border.Fighting between al-Shaabab and government forces also was reported in the nearby town of Jalalaqsi, but CNN could not confirm those reports.Islamist fighters in Somalia appear to be making a comeback in recent weeks.Previously, Islamic Courts Union remnants staged only intermittent attacks across Somalia, including launching grenades in the capital Mogadishu. But recently, the Islamist fighters have become more brazen, carrying out attacks in daylight and seizing control of towns in southern and central Somalia.Asked about reports that Islamist fighters seized control of a town outside Mogadishu earlier this week, State Department spokesman Tom Casey did not seem too concerned."What we've seen recently is patterns where extremists will, in fact, go into an individual village or location temporarily, conduct activities there, but not sustain that or hold it in any meaningful way," he said during a briefing Monday.Casey called on Somalia's transitional government and its international supporters "to make sure that the threat that's posed by these extremist elements doesn't expand any further." http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/04/04/somalia.al.qaeda/index.html

The Irony of Intolerance

John 14:6
I am a Christian fundamentalist, meaning, for one thing, that I believe in the declaration by Jesus Christ in John 14:6. I believe His claim to be absolute truth. Compared to other belief systems, this is an exclusionary statement. It divides people. Either you subscribe to it, or you don’t. There is no in between. No gray area. The Scriptures contain many other similar quotes from Jesus. For example, in John 3:3 He says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” And in Luke 13:3, He says, “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Christian fundamentalists like me take these words literally. Jesus wasn’t talking metaphorically. He wasn’t talking in parables, as He often did when teaching. In these declarations, He meant what He said and said what He meant. In recent years there has been a plethora of books proclaiming the “dangers” of Christian fundamentalism. Some have reached the best-seller list, e.g. American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century by Kevin Phillips; Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism by Michelle Goldberg; American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America by Chris Hedges; and The Theocons: Secular America Under Siege by Damon Linker. Christopher Hitchens, arguably today’s leading spokesman for atheism, has a new book titled God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. To give these folks their due, they are intelligent thinkers. They and many others like them represent the intellectual power of the secular left and they have significant influence in the world of academia, the mainstream national media, and the arts and entertainment industry. The common theme in these books and among the secular left is that people like Tim Wildmon are a clear and present danger to other Americans who do not agree with my fundamentalist Christian beliefs. Three pejorative words are often used to describe us: The Religious Right. In the secular leftist view, people like me have a political agenda to take over the country and subject non-believers – through the power of government – to our particular religious dogma. Often these people will say that we represent the Christian version of the Taliban. Obviously, the idea of a group of people gaining control of government and using it to force others to obey their particular religious beliefs scares many Americans. It would scare me, if I thought it were a real possibility. Now there may be people in this country who would like to do this, but trust me, none of the Christian fundamentalists I know have any desire to force their religious creeds on other Americans who choose to believe differently. The secular leftist thinkers become intellectually dishonest when they mislead people into accepting the lie that just because fundamentalist Christians are active and engaged in championing Biblical morality in the political process, that activity somehow equates to theocracy. Consider abortion, perhaps the most divisive social issues of our time. Christian fundamentalists believe that human life begins at conception and should be protected by government. So we work through the legal and the political systems to elect representatives who share this view. This is how the American process works. All we do is participate the same way other groups do. We have no desire to send an atheist to prison because he doesn’t confess John 14:6.If you argue that religious people should be excluded from public debate because their beliefs motivate their political activity, then you would have say the American civil rights movement was illegitimate. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Christian minister, led the movement to pursuade government to impose a particular belief on America that all men are equal in the eyes of God. It was a movement that found it’s deepest conviction in Christianity.
WE CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS ARE BECOMING OUTCASTS IN AMERICA. BECAUSE WE ARE UNWILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THE IDEA THAT ALL ROADS LEAD TO GOD, WE ARE LABELED INTOLERANT.
WE ARE UNWILLING TO SAY THAT ALL LIFESTYLES ARE MORALLY EQUAL, THEREFORE WE ARE BIGOTS.
WE BELIEVE EACH PERSON MUST REPENT OF PERSONAL SIN AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR TO GO TO HEAVEN SO WE ARE LABELED FASCISTS.
IT’S UNFAIR, BUT IT IS REALITY.
THE SECULAR LEFTISTS WHO SUBSCRIBE TO SECULAR HUMANISM AND MORAL RELATIVISM MAY FREELY PUSH THEIR AGENDA, BUT THEY WILL NOT TOLERATE CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISM.
AND WE’RE INTOLERANT?

THERE IS A REMNANT ACCORDING TO THE ELECTION OF GRACE
"I say then,Hath God cast away his people?God forbid.For I also am an Israelite,of the seed of Abraham,of the tribe of Benjamin.
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias?how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
Lord,they have killed thy prophets,and digged down thine altars;and I am left alone,and they seek my life.
But what saith the answer of God unto him?I have reserved to myself seven thousand men,who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
And if by grace,then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.But if it be of works,then it is no more grace:otherwise work is no more work."
Romans 11:1-6

BIG BROTHER WATCH:Government stakes claim to every newborn's DNA;'We now are considered guinea pigs, instead of human beings with rights'

"Fortunately," he said at the time, "some newborn screening occurs in every state but fewer than half of the states, including Connecticut, actually tests for all disorders that are detectable. … This legislation will provide resources for states to expand their newborn screening programs…"Dodd's plan would provide millions of dollars for educating and training health care professionals in "relevant technologies," and set up standards for updating tests and maintaining the quality of test results.So what's the big deal about looking into DNA to hunt for various disease possibilities.Nothing, said Brase, if that's where the hunt would end.However, she said, "researchers already are looking for genes related to violence, crime and different behaviors."
"This isn't just about diabetes, asthma and cancer," she said. "It's also about behavioral issues."
"In England they decided they should have doctors looking for problem children, and have those children reported, and their DNA taken in case they would become criminals," she said.In fact, published reports in the UK note that senior police forensics experts believe genetic samples should be studied, because it may be possible to identify potential criminals as young as age 5.
"If we have a primary means of identifying people before they offend, then in the long-term the benefits of targeting younger people are extremely large," Gary Pugh, director of forensics at Scotland Yard, was quoted saying. "You could argue the younger the better. Criminologists say some people will grow out of crime; others won't. We have to find who are possibly going to be the biggest threat to society."The UK database already has 4.5 million genetic samples and reportedly is the largest in Europe, but activists want to expand it. Pugh said that it is not possible right now to demand everyone provide a DNA sample but only because of the costs and logistics.One published report cited the Institute for Public Policy Research, which is suggesting children from 5-12 in the UK be targeted with cognitive behavioral therapy, and Pugh has suggested adding the children in primary schools, even if they have not offended, to the database.There, Chris Davis of the National Primary Headteachers' Association warned the move could be seen "as a step towards a police state."But Pugh said the UK's annual cost of $26 billion from violent crime makes it well worth the effort.Brase said such efforts to study traits and gene factors and classify people would be just the beginning. What could happen through subsequent programs to address such conditions, she wondered."Not all research is great," she said. "There is research that is highly objectionable into the genetic propensities of an individual. Not all research should be hailed as wonderful initiatives."It can identify some tendencies for potential problems, and that is one of its downfalls, Brase said."It lends itself to be the beginning of discrimination and prejudice," she said. "People can look at data about you and make assessments ultimately of who you are."Further, the invasion of privacy is huge. DNA is the most intimate identifier that exists, she said."This, however, says our DNA is not ours but the government's," she said. "It says our values, our ethics, belief systems have to be [subjected] to the interests of the government."Right now various states obtain DNA under different plans and keep the information for varying time periods. In Minnesota, the legislature is working on legal authorization for the state government to take it without consent, keep it forever, and use it for whatever purposes the state desires – all without obtaining consent or even letting people know. A mandatory sample of a newborn's DNA also pulls back the veil on information about the parents as well, Brase told WND."It's like they're collecting information on the whole family," she said.The Heartland Regional Genetics and Newborn Screening is one of the organizations that advocates more screening and research.It proclaims in its vision statement a desire to see newborns screened for 200 conditions. It also forecasts "every student … with an individual program for education based on confidential interpretation of their family medical history, their brain imaging, their genetic predictors of best learning methods…"Further, every individual should share information about "personal and family health histories" as well as "gene tests for recessive conditions and drug metabolism" with the "other parent of their future children."Still further, it seeks "ecogenetic research that could improve health, lessen disability, and lower costs for sickness."[[[[[[[["They want to test every child for 200 conditions, take the child's history and a brain image, and genetics, and come up with a plan for that child," Brase said. "They want to learn their weaknesses and defects."Nobody including and especially the government should be allowed to create such extensive profiles," she said.The next step is obvious: The government, with information about potential health weaknesses, could say to couples, "We don't want your expensive children,"]]]]]]]] Brase said."I think people have forgotten about eugenics. The fact of the matter is that the eugenicists have not gone away. Newborn genetic testing is the entry into the 21st Century version of eugenics," she said.[[[[[[[[[["This is in every state, but nobody is talking about it. Parents have no idea this is happening," she said.]]]]]]]]]]]

Main street parade to honor Muhammad:Binghamton, N.Y., grants permit for Milad-un-Nabi event

Fox News previously reported the compound has remained shrouded in mystery and fear, partly because it sits near the huge reservoir system that provides New York City with most of its drinking water.The report said New York State police authorities confirmed they've had the group on file for years."They are training for war, either for war here in this country or against our troops," said one neighbor.Jamaat ul-Fuqra itself openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in compounds where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be above local, state and federal authority.An investigation of the group by the Colorado Attorney General's office in the early 1980s found several of the communities operate covert paramilitary training compounds, including one in a mountainous area near Buena Vista, Colo.Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization, has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat ul-Fuqra. The organization operates communes of primarily black, American-born Muslims throughout the U.S. The investigation confirmed members commonly use aliases and intentional spelling variations of their names and routinely deny the existence of Jamaat ul-Fuqra.U.S. authorities have probed the group for charges ranging from links to al-Qaida to laundering and funneling money into Pakistan for terrorist activities. The organization supports various terrorist groups operating in Pakistan and Kashmir, and Gilani himself is linked directly to Hamas and Hezbollah. Throughout the 1980s, JF was responsible for a number of terrorist acts across the U.S., including numerous fire-bombings.Gilani was at one time in Pakistani custody for the abduction of American journalist Daniel Pearl. Intelligence sources have determined Pearl was attempting to meet with Gilani in the days before he disappeared in Karachi. Intelligence sources also suggest a link between Jamaat ul Fuqra and Richard Reid, the infamous "shoe bomber" who attempted to ignite explosives aboard a Paris-to-Miami passenger flight Dec. 22, 2001.}}}}}}}}}}}
