| [quote]Atlanta Shooting Suspect�s Church Bashed �Radical | |
| Feminism� in Deleted Sermons | |
| ... | |
| In recorded sermons that have since been deleted from the | |
| church�s web site, lead pastor Jerry Dockery decried �radical | |
| feminism� and criticized recent shifts in gender roles as the | |
| work of Satan. | |
| �Radical feminism has engulfed our culture like a tsunami,� | |
| Dockery told his congregation on September 20, 2020. �We�re now | |
| striving for gender neutrality, for gender fluidity, you name | |
| it. It�s just gender whatever-you-want. And I would say to you | |
| that this is a blatant, a blatant�I will say it one more time�a | |
| blatant guidance, direction and strategy of Satan to oppose and | |
| usurp the authority of God.�[/quote] | |
| Dockery in effect claims that Jesus is "Satan" (see Jesus' | |
| teachings on gender neutrality posted earlier in the topic). | |
| Dockery is not wrong. Etymologically: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan#Historical_development | |
| [quote]The original Hebrew term śāṭān | |
| (Hebrew: | |
| שָּׂטָן‎) is a | |
| generic noun meaning "accuser" or "adversary",[7][8][/quote] | |
| Given that Dockery's "God" is Yahweh (the actual Devil), Jesus | |
| is of course an avatar of Yahweh's recurring accuser/adversary | |
| Lucifer. | |

| ) | |
| But note that, including by Hyde-Smith's own admission (1:24), | |
| the Sabbath comes from Exodus (ie. the Tanakh), not from Jesus. | |
| In contrast, Jesus was known for disregarding the Sabbath: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing_the_paralytic_at_Bethesda | |
| [quote]John's Gospel account describes how Jesus, visiting | |
| Jerusalem for a Jewish feast (John 5:1), encounters one of the | |
| disabled people who used to lie here, a man who had been | |
| paralysed for thirty-eight years. Jesus asks the man if he wants | |
| to get well. The man explains that he is unable to enter the | |
| water, because he has no one to help him in and others go down | |
| ahead of him. Jesus tells him to pick up his bed or mat and | |
| walk; the man is instantly cured and is able to do so. | |
| The Gospel then explains that this healing took place on the | |
| Sabbath, and the local Jews told the cured man that the Law | |
| forbade him to carry his mat on this day. He tells them that he | |
| had been told to do so by the man who had healed him. They ask | |
| him who this healer was but he is unable to tell them because | |
| Jesus had slipped away into the crowd. | |
| Later, Jesus finds the man in the Temple, and tells him not to | |
| sin again, so that nothing worse happens to him. The man goes | |
| away and tells the Jewish people that it was Jesus who had made | |
| him well (John 5:15). The Gospel account explains that the Jews | |
| began to persecute Jesus because he was healing on the | |
| Sabbath.[/quote] | |
| So it is clear which side Hyde-Smith is on. And indeed: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Hyde-Smith#Political_positions | |
| [quote]Foreign policy | |
| In August 2018, Hyde-Smith co-sponsored the Israel Anti-Boycott | |
| Act (s. 720), which would make it a federal crime for Americans | |
| to encourage or participate in boycotts against Israel and | |
| Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank if protesting | |
| actions by the Israeli government.[67][68] | |
| ... | |
| Confederate States of America | |
| In 2007, Hyde-Smith voted for a resolution that praised a | |
| Confederate States Army soldier for his efforts to "defend his | |
| homeland".[80] During her first term in the Mississippi Senate, | |
| she proposed renaming a state highway after Confederate | |
| President Jefferson Davis, but the legislation did not pass.[81] | |
| In 2014, Hyde-Smith posted a photo of herself at Davis's home, | |
| Beauvoir, wearing a Confederate cap and carrying a rifle, with | |
| the caption "Mississippi history at its best!"[80] | |
| Accusations of anti-Black racism and white supremacy | |
| During her 2018 campaign for Senate, Hyde-Smith was accused of | |
| holding white supremacist sentiments because of her support for | |
| the Confederate States of America and for saying, "If he invited | |
| me to a public hanging, I�d be on the front row" in a state | |
| known for lynchings. She refused to apologize.[82][83][/quote] | |
| Hyde-Smith is both anti-Christian and anti-American. And of | |
| course: | |
| [quote]2021 United States Electoral College vote count and | |
| storming of the Capitol | |
| On January 6, 2021, Hyde-Smith was participating in the 2021 | |
| United States Electoral College vote count debate about the | |
| Arizona election when Trump supporters stormed the United States | |
| Capitol. Led by Ted Cruz[citation needed], Hyde-Smith joined | |
| four other senators to vote to object to the certification of | |
| Arizona's electoral votes.[49] She and other senators were | |
| removed from the Senate floor to an undisclosed location shortly | |
| after the Capitol was breached. Her staff had to shelter in her | |
| office.[50] During the attack, Hyde-Smith tweeted, "Whatever | |
| frustrations any American may have, violence & destruction in | |
| the US Capitol, the seat of our democratic government, is | |
| unacceptable."[51] She later said she was scared and called the | |
| rioters "criminals who need to be prosecuted."[52] | |
| After the Capitol was secure and Congress returned to session, | |
| Hyde-Smith objected to Pennsylvania's electoral votes, as led by | |
| Josh Hawley.[53] She said she based her decision on "the erosion | |
| of integrity of the electoral process." She also said her | |
| constituents "do not believe the presidential election was | |
| constitutional and cannot accept the Electoral College | |
| decision." Her decision was in contrast to fellow Mississippi | |
| senator Roger Wicker, who supported certifying the election.[54] | |
| The Jackson Free Press called on Hyde-Smith to "recant or | |
| resign" for objecting to the certification.[55] | |
| In response to the attack on the Capitol, Hyde-Smith did not | |
| support invoking the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States | |
| Constitution to remove Trump from office for his role in the | |
| attack. She also said she would not vote to convict Trump in an | |
| impeachment trial.[56][/quote] | |
| (Incidentally, note Hyde-Smith's face shape.....) | |

| https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sen-raphael-warnock-deletes-easter-15061889… | |
| [quote]Reverend Raphael Warnock, the newly elected Democrat | |
| senator from Georgia, deleted an Easter tweet from his account | |
| after receiving significant backlash online. | |
| �The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the | |
| resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you are Christian or not, | |
| through a commitment to helping others we are able to save | |
| ourselves,� said the original tweet, posted to his | |
| non-government account Sunday and removed later in the evening. | |
| ... | |
| Conservatives, particularly those on the religious right, | |
| quickly descended on the tweet. Jenna Ellis, who served as a | |
| lawyer for former president Donald Trump, fumed at the �heresy� | |
| of the statement. | |
| �This is a false gospel and heresy. We cannot save ourselves. | |
| The absolute truth and only meaning of Easter that matters is | |
| the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we must | |
| accept Him as Lord and Savior. Read Romans, �Reverend� Warnock. | |
| You are a false teacher,� she wrote. | |
| Benjamin Watson, a Christian author, also called the sentiment | |
| �heresy.� | |
| �Easter is not a story for moral motivation toward good works. | |
| The resurrection reveals our INABILITY to save ourselves in this | |
| life or the next, proving Jesus alone holds that power. Urging | |
| people to help others need not come at the expense of doctrine. | |
| To do so is heresy,� he tweeted.[/quote] | |
| So, who is correct? | |
| �If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth | |
| will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, | |
| what you do not bring forth will destroy you.� - Jesus | |
| Warnock is correct. But Warnock himself, by deleting his tweet, | |
| failed to bring forth what is within him. | |

| In U.S., Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace | |
| [quote]The religious landscape of the United States continues to | |
| change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys | |
| conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe | |
| themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down | |
| 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the | |
| religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of | |
| people who describe their religious identity as atheist, | |
| agnostic or �nothing in particular,� now stands at 26%, up from | |
| 17% in 2009. | |
| Both Protestantism and Catholicism are experiencing losses of | |
| population share. Currently, 43% of U.S. adults identify with | |
| Protestantism, down from 51% in 2009. And one-in-five adults | |
| (20%) are Catholic, down from 23% in 2009. Meanwhile, all | |
| subsets of the religiously unaffiliated population � a group | |
| also known as religious �nones� � have seen their numbers swell. | |
| Self-described atheists now account for 4% of U.S. adults, up | |
| modestly but significantly from 2% in 2009; agnostics make up 5% | |
| of U.S. adults, up from 3% a decade ago; and 17% of Americans | |
| now describe their religion as �nothing in particular,� up from | |
| 12% in 2009. Members of non-Christian religions also have grown | |
| modestly as a share of the adult population.[/quote] | |

| [quote]The Duggars are super religious and aggressively | |
| Christian, but fans have noticed several ways that they use | |
| Judaism in their lives, from naming their kids to picking | |
| jewelry. We�ve done some digging and discovered why the | |
| fundamentalist family is so obsessed with Jewish stuff. | |
| There are lots of connections to the Jewish faith to be found in | |
| the Duggar fam, the first of all is how much time they�ve spent | |
| in Israel. Joy-Anna and Austin went on their honeymoon there, | |
| while Derick studied there while courting Jill. As a matter of | |
| fact, the entire family went to Jerusalem for their | |
| grandmother�s 70th birthday in 2011. | |
| ... | |
| When it comes to baby names, the Duggars have also been heavily | |
| influenced by Judaism, with Jill and Derick even naming one of | |
| their sons Israel. During the birth announcement video, Derick | |
| wore an �Israel Defense Force� t-shirt. Plus, Jim Bob and | |
| Michelle originally planned to name their son Jackson �Judah | |
| Benjamin,� which is also the name of the first Jewish-American | |
| man to reach a high position in the American government. It is | |
| also a combination of the names of two tribes of Israel. Plus, | |
| Jordyn-Grace�s middle name is Makiya, which is the last name of | |
| a man who wrote a book about Jerusalem. | |
| Then there�s the fact that many of the girls wear Star of David | |
| jewelry. Both Jessa and Jill have been spotted with the | |
| six-pointed star, which had fans wondering how that relates to | |
| their own religion. Some have even gone so far as to speculate | |
| that the Duggars used to be Jewish. However, the real answer is | |
| much simpler. | |
| �They believe Jews are special to God because they were the | |
| �original messengers,� and that it�s God�s will that Israel | |
| should belong to the Jews,� explained a fan on reddit.[/quote] | |
| Well, it was always kind of obvious that they followed the Old | |
| Testament rather than Jesus' teachings. Guess how I can tell: | |
