Witness - Obama Was a Foreign Student

Well, intrepid readers of my blog, I watched the video posted yesterday about Sheriff Joe Arpaio's news conference revealing the findings by his Cold Case Posse investigating a possible case of fraud and forgery raised by the Surprise (AZ) Tea Party's petition to Sheriff Joe.

"Riveting" comes to mind.

I saw in that video where Chief Investigator Mike Zullo tells the media present he is gravely concerned over the evidence of fraud and forgery by a private (?) individual who created "an electronic file" to mimic a paper document which would pass for a long-form birth certificate proving President Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility to run for the office of president of the United States of America.

Zullo finally mentions a video wherein a postal worker reveals his conversation with the parents of Bill Ayers (of domestic terrorist fame in the 1970's, I believe). Thomas Ayers introduced the postman to a young "foreign student" named, you guessed it, BHO!

It seems to me that a foreign student is not born in the country in which he or she is being educated. That would point to a citizenship originating somewhere else. So much for being qualified to run for president.

More fun on the way. Stay tuned.

Cold Case Posse - Obama's Birth Certificate Investigation - Sheriff Joe ...

This is the best quality video I could find. However, the audio quality is lacking volume. Turn it up, and be entertained, informed, and enlightened.

NORTH KOREA ON MY MIND

With blogging apologies to Glen Campbell for revising his song title, "Gentle On My Mind," North Korea has a new Dear Leader (same as the old Dear Leader) who has finally gotten the spotlight shone on his cherubic countenance and a new agenda of lies and human brutality laying before him.

If it were not so tragically barbaric, the upstart regime of Kim Jong Un would be comical.

The audacious parade of deception for all the world and even its own people to see unwillingly has begun-- or should I say, continues. It will go down (and it will go down, God willing) in history as the last Stalinist regime to fall, and the world's largest prison camp that would make even the Man of Steel, Josef Stalin, smile in his fireside resting place (wishful thinking).

Why blog about North Korea now? Because I am happy-- albeit temporarily-- with the latest development in the government's failed rocket launch. We Westerners breathe a collective sigh of relief every time a world dictator falls on his (never her) face, militarily. See the story on Fox News.

Whew! Please keep screwing up your space program, Commander Kim!

Stop causing so much incomprehensible human misery that only God can stop. And trust me, He will stop it. That is the hope and prayer of every human being with a pulse.

Let us work for a Domino Principle that will cause a wave of good rather than evil to spread.

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS

One nice thing about having a blog like this is I can post about anything and it will fall under the category of Faith or Life. Be it my faith (which is a gift of God, Ephesians 2:8-9), my computer, or my opinion of political events and developments (especially in the United States), and so on.

See? Life can be "cut and dried," and fit inside of nice, neat little cubby holes.

Until it can't.

Praise God for the order out of chaos (Genesis 1:1-2)

BACK ON TRACK

Sorry, dear readers of my worldview-oriented blog (hence the name). I got side-tracked in my last post toward occupational/vocational pursuits in search of relevant and interesting content for your exclusive perusal.

I digressed!

Witness the link to one LightShine Media and its attendant audio file which I am listening to momentarily for your re-alignment with the blog before you now.

Ah, technology.

For more on my digression into web-related topics, see my other blog at Web Developments.

WEB DESIGN GROWING PAINS

The San Diego Freeway 

Well, the time has come for me to return to my blogging roots here at Blogger.com.  Right now, I am savoring the moment I am in, which feels like a homecoming. Let me explain, if I can.

I recently authored a website called HTML5 OR BUST! I have been nurturing it to maturity since its inception and launch last October. I have enjoyed the time spent racking my brain trying to solve baffling problems with coding.

I am a novice at HTML and CSS. But I intend to learn all I can about web design and development.

I am thinking of a title for this post.

It's funny, but I actually feel that people are reading my blog!

Praise the Lord!

FRANKLIN GRAHAM MISSES IT

I am in no way discounting my respect and admiration for the Reverend Billy Graham's capable and well-qualified evangelist son, Franklin. But I am taking issue with his comments in his video called "Second Coming - Are You Ready?"

In it, he states that Jesus did not come as King the first time, but He will the second time.

Really?  

Matthew 2:2 says the wise men asked Herod, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."

Franklin quotes Isaiah 9:6-7:

 6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon^d his shoulder,
and his name shall be called^e
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.

 Graham says that Jesus did not have a government then. Really? Can there be a king without a kingdom? Jesus Himself said, "My kingdom is not of this world."(John 18:36) He was speaking in the present tense. In fact, the wise men were speaking in the past-perfect tense!

Also, of course, Graham toes the line that Jesus is coming "soon."  There you have the complete package of futurism in a nutshell. I was surprised, but not shocked. I only count myself blessed (?) with this perspective of fulfilled, covenant eschatology.

NOTE: I am not discounting or disparaging the God-given work that the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association does for the world. I only want to point out how subtly error can creep in. (The proverbial "three fingers" are pointing back at me!)

THE COMPREHENSIVE AGENDA OF RON PAUL

For a primer on the Ron Paul "movement," see Lew Rockwell.

THIS MAKES ME A POST-MILLENNIALIST

I read an article by Michael Loomis at AD70.net about The Millennium. If Mike's presentation is indeed true, then all believers would be post-millennialists!

How exciting!

Here is a good starting place for understanding Covenant Millennialism.

WHEN FOREVER DOESN'T MEAN "FOREVER"

Hey, political State of Israel! Genuine, born-from-above Christians are the "better" Israel. (Hebrews 10)

AN OLIVE BRANCH - NO THORNS, HONEST!

I have been following the recent discussions about the "rapture" of the church. I put it in quotes because it can be a controversial doctrine in Christian circles. A friend pursued this subject with me, and I obligingly (and willingly) joined him.

We believers must wrestle with the Scriptures and allow God to win. It usually happens when a brother or sister, who has a better handle on that Scripture than we do, comes and shows us where we are wrong in our thinking. This is God's grace, and nothing less.

To recap, I Thessalonians 4:13-18 says:

"The Coming of the Lord

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, gthat you may not grieve as others do hwho have no hope. 14 For isince we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him jthose who have fallen asleep.

15 For this we declare to you kby a word from the Lord,4 that lwe who are alive, who are left until mthe coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For nthe Lord himself will descend ofrom heaven pwith a cry of command, with the voice of qan archangel, and rwith the sound of the trumpet of God. And sthe dead in Christ will rise first.

17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be tcaught up together with them uin the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so vwe will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."(Biblia.com)

This passage describes an  event future to its readers: the Rapture of the Church in the first century A.D.  Paul is explaining to the church at Thessalonica that their grief over lost loved ones who believed in Christ is not hopeless. They would indeed see them again - at the Rapture!


So Who Are "We?"

The argument is over whether the "we" in verses 15 and 17 (orange with yellow) includes the readers in Thessalonica, or is it only the writers of the epistle--or is it something else.  The "exclusive-we" is a Greek form of the word that defines a group as being separate from its audience, i.e. we - but not you.

This is indeed a valid argument. But "context is king," as Ed Stevens* says. To say that it excludes the readers of Paul's epistle to the Thessalonian church is hard to swallow. I would say that it distinguishes between the living saints and those who are dead:

  "...we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord will not precede [go before] those who have fallen asleep."(v.15)

 Therefore, the exclusive-we, in context, distinguishes the living body of believers from those who are dead!

Whew!

* Ed Stevens was interviewed by Michael Loomis on AD70.net for the program, "Then and Now." This podcast helped me to solidify the explanation and understanding of the fulfilled view of the Rapture.

His notes are here:

A LONG-OVERDUE APOLOGY

To my readers (both of you :), I owe an apology for my selfish and misleading commentary in this blog.

Yes, I am a sinner. I know that not everyone is a believer in and follower of The Son of Man/God, the only Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Therefore, I want to apologize if anything in this blog has given Him a bad rap in the eyes of those who do not follow Him -- yet.

Especially in the eyes of those who do follow Him, I must repent of anything that causes a stumbling block to their walk with the Savior.

Whew!

WHO WANTS THEIR WORLDVIEW ROCKED?

I do! I do!

I have to ask myself: why have I allowed my long-cherished, ubiquitous, and infallible(?) doctrine of the future Second Coming of Christ to be challenged by a bunch of "heretics" known as Preterists? 

 Don't get me wrong:  I believe Christ came, just as He said He would.  I believe He is with us, and that His Kingdom is here-and-now, and forever! I also believe we may be misunderstanding the timing and method of it if we say He has not come yet.

So sit back, relax-- and be challenged.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO "HMMM"

"President" Barack Hussein Obama II's "Long-Form Birth Certificate"
(click above)

I invite you to open this document and examine it closely by zooming in with Ctrl++ (or "View/Zoom/Zoom In" on the menu bar at the top).

• Why do typewriter and print/stamp inconsistencies look manufactured?   The words all look uniform in darkness and clarity except for the occasional, strategically-placed faint/corrected character or smudged stroke. They look like they were created manually with graphic art software. 

• Call me a conspiracy theorist (please).  But why does the certificate consist of a paper stock background with an image of a printed, bound leaf superimposed over it, instead of just one unified form?

• Also, why is the certificate's background pattern, wicker basket cross-hatching, not bending with the image on the paper?  Hmmm?

Kind of makes me think there may be a case of fraud here.

BLOG DESCRIPTION UPDATE

In order to continue providing you my readers with, well, continuous improvement, I revised my blog's description (see above).  I figure I can blog about any major cosmetic changes I make so we can both reflect on where we have been and where we are going.

AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS

I have changed my blog's header to reflect a new image which I created from a photo I took in San Diego while on vacation. It was at a landmark whose name escapes me.

It certainly reflects my worldview. Or it should.

EXPLORING A PARALLEL UNIVERSE

The alternative to seeking employment at a "company" is working for yourself.  In my case, that would be an alternative universe-- a "pipe dream" -- a fantasy worthy of its expending my mental energy when the prospects of getting something I can do for a living seem bleak at best.

Welcome to the world of web design! It is a world in which its citizens explore the possibilities of an alternate universe of autonomy, or self-rule (limited by reality).

JUST CHECKING IN

A blog is a journal, of sorts. It is an online window to the soul of the writer. A blogger must come up with something worthwhile and substantial to blog about, or he perish.

More to come...

HERE I STAND

Though with fear and trepidation, I post this brief article as a herald to the New Reformation of the Christian Church on the subject of eschatology.

Just as the cry of Martin Luther in 1517 was, "the just shall live by faith"(Habakkuk 2:4), so the cry of 2012 shall be, "This generation shall not pass away until all these things take place."(Matthew 24:34)

This is a "time statement" in the New Testament worthy of all acceptance.

COSMETIC TWEAKS

Today finds me tweaking my blog's appearance while listening to AD70.net radio. I think I am pleased with it enough to leave it alone for now.
