Bible experts Helen Bond and Joan Taylor have used forensic examination of the New Testament seeking to repair the 'heavily deteriorated reputation of women in the Bible'. Smh. Taylor and Bond believe for every male member of the traditional 12 disciples, there was an equally pivotal female counterpart. They mentioned Mary the Magdalene and Joanna, a noble woman who fled Herod’s court whom they believe was behind large amounts of the disciples’ financial backing and helped fund the spread of Christianity, as being some of Jesus' female disciples. “For 200 years the story of Jesus and his twelve disciples has been a very male affair,” they the historians claimed. “ It’s a story in which women play minor supporting roles, as pious onlookers or repentant whores. “We know now there were many women, disciples of Jesus. It’s very important to the Jesus movement. Women weren’t just bystanders to the greatest story ever told, but the ones who made it all po

Concerning the wedding gown, one commenter wrote: “If you want to have church ceremonies you should have some respect for the way the church works – and that kind of dress is inappropriate.” Another said: “It seems a bit weird and uncomfortable to have your boobs falling out all over the place on your wedding day.” A third added: "I think it would be unsuitable for a church wedding and probably looked pretty tacky wherever the wedding was." *Who conducted this wedding service? I wonder how she is  comfortable wearing this.

As millions of people travel to Lourdes, France, every year in search of divine healing, some evangelical missionaries are warning that at the holy site venerated by Catholics, many are revering the Virgin Mary more than Jesus Christ . "For followers of Jesus Christ, the atmosphere in Lourdes is dark and discouraging. Christians know that it is 'the Lord who heals you' (Exodus 15:26). The determination and expectation of 6 million pilgrims a year feels overwhelming," Pioneers, a missions agency that is based in Florida but has offices worldwide, said last week.  One Pioneers member in Lourdes said: "In my town Mary takes Jesus' place on the cross. People come from far and wide to bring honor to her, to ask her for healing, to pray to her. This is all the locals of this rural town in the mountains know: not Jesus, just millions of Catholic pilgrims from the whole world with their Mary statues, rosaries, and holy water. What should church loo

This story shows how powerful the Gospel is.  Helen of World Missionary Press narrates about a community which had become a stronghold for satanic activity where a spiritual leader who locals called the devil lived. He had followers and t he people in that area obeyed and feared him.   "The believers there were really hesitant to even enter this area," Helen says. "A missionary was in the country, and he decided that he was going to visit this town. So, the report says he went into this town, and he found this man, sitting in front of a little shop. He said, ‘I sat down beside him, I shared the Gospel, I shared about heaven and hell. We both knew that many in the town were watching us from a distance. As I left, he publicly laughed and he ridiculed me.   "About a month later, he found me in another town. As I approached him on a motorbike, he began waving frantically in the road. He beckoned me to stop.  He said, "We need to talk. I want

Fr David Jones, 64, believes video games and even Harry Potter are part of a bigger agenda "to normalize the dark side". "Evil that can come out of a screen is deliberate and pumped at people who are defenseless, such as children," he said. "Satanic video games and screens are damaging children and hugely exposing them to evil. "It's murky and affects every layer of society. Little children watching Harry Potter are learning real spells . It's a topsy-turvy system to get them ready for something worse."   Fr Jones, who lived in monasteries in Italy and France and speaks eight languages, also claims that drug shipments in Latin America are presided over by Satanic rites to ensure maximum destruction. "Big shipments of drugs are coming out with maximum demonic attachment because drug lords invite someone involved in Satanism to come out and perform a rite of cursing over each shipload to cause maximum harm, and

According to GHpage, in a new video below, the self-acclaimed angel of God , Bishop Obinim ( founder and leader of God’s Way International Church ) resurrected a dead woman who had died of heart attack. According to the explanation given by a brother of the woman identified as Bee, she suffered consistent heart attacks and the popular pastor they well believed in prayed for her, and revealed that the husband of the woman is behind the predicament she’s going through. After minutes of prayers, the woman believed to be dead was brought back to life. This is not the first time such a miracle has happened in his church. *This reminded me of an article I wanted to publish...hmmm. Will do that soon enough.

In the Word of Life, there are differences between speaking in tongues and praying in tongues. Both should not be confused.  Speaking in tongues is the gift of the Holy Spirit to enable a believer sent to preach the Word of life be able to speak in another language hitherto unknown to him/her.  The Holy Spirit gave this gift of speaking in tongues and the ability to interpret such strange tongues on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2: 1-6.  "When the day of Pentecost came...They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.  Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language."  The Jews visiting from the Dispersion and Diaspora that came to Jerus

Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the world’s leading Jewish scholars, revealed he believes the Jewish savior was born this Saturday. The 90-year-old predicted the world on the cusp entering the Messianic Age. It is predicted to mean the end of the world as we know it – ushering in the kingdom of God.   Kanievsky said he believes the current age of “hatred for those who learn the Bible” fits with prophecy about the Messiah. He added the “signs of redemption” are starting to appear – comparing the current age to the “sunrise”. Rabbi Kanievsky said: "This generation displays absolute hatred for those who learn the Bible, especially in recent years. "We are seeing all of the conditions described in the Talmud appear before us. "It is for this reason that we anticipate the appearance of the Messiah at any moment, God-willing”.  He added he believed the Messiah was born this Saturday based on his reading of ancient texts – as it was the Jewish festival Tisha B’Av.

Lil Uzi Vert (pronounced Lil Lucifer) has never shied away from Satanic imagery and symbols in his songs and videos. A few months ago, he released a song entitled “444 + 222” which equals 666 and during a recent concert in London, the Philadelphia rapper took his fans to hell with him. Performing at the 2018 Wireless Festival on Sunday (July 8), Uzi stopped the instrumental to share a message with his fans, telling concertgoers they have entered the rapture and are all going to hell.  "And if nobody flying up to heaven right now, obviously all y'all motherfuckers going to hell right with me," Lil Uzi said. As the song began to play, Uzi continued talking, telling fans they're currently in hell and won't be able to get out.  "Oh, you already here," he added. "I'm so sorry. You can't get out! You're stuck, it's over. You heard the song a million times and you didn't even know. That's fucked up but I still lo

  "It doesn't really matter what you say I have done. God has called me here, and you can't stand in His way." According to a friend of mine, these were the words a leader of a congregation used as he responded to a congregant who sought to challenge him on issues of deep concern—issues of sin. It reminded me of something that happened while I was in Bible school. I had been attending a church on Long Island led by a dynamic preacher. Everyone loved his fiery teachings. He was truly anointed.  However, I became concerned when, during a service, he physically attacked an usher. The usher had laid his hand on someone, and the wife of the pastor removed his hand, as he was there to usher, not to pray. The usher reacted angrily to the pastor's wife, and both he and the pastor had to be physically restrained. I stopped going to this congregation. A few weeks later, some of my college buddies came back to the campus with glowing reports

  A study revealed that over 50 percent of pastors regularly view pornography.   Right at this moment, there's never been anything in history that is destroying more churches, more pastors, more marriages, more young people, than pornography.  Someone said, 'It's the greatest cancer in the church. How Bad Is the Pornography Situation? At least 78.8 percent of all men that attend evangelical churches watch pornography. Probably 80 percent of all evangelical youth pastors also watch pornography, and now, the greatest increase is among women and young ladies. It's killing us.  Sixty-four percent of all Christian families have an acute problem with pornography." Research says: Three out of five divorces now are directly related to pornography. Two out of five churchgoing men watch porn several times a week. About 80 percent of 15 to 17-year-olds have been exposed to hardcore porn. The adult pornography industry reports that 20-30 perce

Infidelity is such a common matter in most marital relationships today. God created marriage to be beautiful not the other way round.  Unfortunately today, marriage has earned itself a bad named to the extent that people are wondering, "What exactly is the use of marriage? Why must I get married to have children?"  If God instituted marriage, that means it's for a reason and starting a family outside it is merely living outside His will and His plan, and at the same time creating more problems for the society. Here are some of the very common traits you see in a cheating spouse as shared by an expert: Being protective of phone, social media or email This highlights that there’s something to hide on these devices. They may also take their phone to the bathroom, keep it on silent or always keep it face down. Any calls are taken in a different room.   Dramatic change in sex drive This could mean that there’s more or less sex in the relationship. The p

One implication of sex robots discussed by experts is their capacity to induce addiction to sex .   Psychological therapist Dr Thaddeus Birchard points out that life-like robots featuring AI could be another outlet for sex addicts to express their compulsion. He said a sex addict is comparable to an alcoholic in that they’re seeking escapism. Although cyborgs might not necessarily increase sex addiction, he said they serve the same purpose as alcohol for people with drinking issues. “It would just be another way of expressing sexual activity or addiction,” the therapist said. “Sex addiction is a way to anesthetize hard to bear feeling states. These include, but are not limited to, loneliness, shame, boredom, and stress. “It has the same function as alcohol for problem drinkers. It is an escape from the self. This is the psychology behind it.” He said: “ Sexbots would always be available and could never say no, so addictions would be easy to feed. People will r

This man's story is awesome!  A survivor of the Orlando Pulse nightclub mass shooting is recounting the trauma of that night and how God used it to bring about his repentance and why he now says he is no longer gay. Luis Javier Ruiz spoke of his journey out of the homosexual life, how the Holy Spirit continues to transform him, and how he is now ministering to people. Now in his 30s, Ruiz explained that although he grew up in the church it was during a time when many congregations did not have the tools with which to engage this issue, and what he learned was how to keep secrets.  All the while, he was struggling with his sexuality, having experienced same-sex attraction since his childhood. He finally came out as a homosexual to his family toward the end of his high school years. On his mom's birthday, they were listening to a radio program where someone was railing against homosexuals in an abusive manner complete with charges of "they're go

This is simply to point out the reality of this so called transgender stuff.  A transgender prisoner (a man turned woman) has been accused of sexually assaulting four female inmates after being sent to a women's prison, despite not having had reassignment surgery.  The prisoner, who has been living as a woman for more than two years, was seen visibly aroused during the assault at the high security complex. There are also claims the prisoner made inappropriate comments about oral sex to another prisoner, while a third says she was also attacked and a fourth claims she was kissed on the neck my the transgender inmate.  The transgender prisoner has now been sent to a Category B men’s jail in a case that will reignite the debate over whether such prisoners should be sent to women's jails prior to gender reassignment surgery.  *It's funny even the tabloid that reported this used a 'she' for someone who identified as a woman for two years now b

As shared on Facebook: “My husband was my childhood best friend. We grew up in the same neighborhood, attended the same junior and Senior High Schools.  I am tempted to believe – he’s the only one who truly knows all about me and loves me anyways. We both come from an average family background, and we’ve been there for one another, over the years. When he asked me to be his girlfriend, we were both pursuing our University degrees. It did not take me a second – to say, “Yes!” There was absolutely nothing to think over. I loved him that much: I still do. In our third year at the University, his father died. His dad worked with a security agency, and was taking loans upon loans to finance his education. My parents are both teachers, so you can imagine how I was also surviving, being a campus student. So, it was in one of those difficult semesters, that a married man showed interest in me. I discuss everything with my husband, even when he was just a boyfriend; s

Pastor Rick Warren in a recent article reminded readers that "God's standards never change," even when it comes to sexual sin. Acts like engaging in premarital sex, cohabiting, having an affair outside of marriage and watching pornography "always has been" and "always will be" "unacceptable" to God,he stressed. All is not lost if people are guilty of any of those sexual sins, however, and Warren has offered some advice regarding what people can do to "come clean" and "start over." He said that the first thing people must do after committing a sexual sin is repent . The mindset that people had when they gave in to temptation has to be changed right away or else they cannot move forward. After repenting, Warren urged people to receive the forgiveness the Lord will give to them .  "God is waiting to forgive, cleanse, and restore you. He'll release you from the shame, regrets, hidden hurts, a
