HAPPY 2012 EVERYONE LEFT AND RIGHT, AND UP AND DOWN

The last day of 2011 is here and in a few short hours, 2012 will be ushered in on the east coast of the United States.

I am wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous New Year, and that goes for all of you who are like minded, and those who oppose what I say about the issues. Just because we may agree or disagree on politics and religion does not mean that we cannot be civil to each other.

I often comment on a certain news site which is a part of my ISP and honestly at times what people say leaves one wondering if we live in the same country. Surely we can disagree, but then comes the name calling, and that needs to be seriously curtailed. While we can bicker on issues, name calling does nothing for ones argument and if anything, it lessens your credibility when you cannot back up your argument and resort to calling people stupid or morons, or worse.

As we look back and see what we have said and done, ask yourself if the comments you made about others helped promote your view or just made you look small and petty. If you don't like yourself for your actions, it's not too late to change.

Am I asking you to stand down? No, but stand up for your cause with dignity, and try to have facts that back your argument. I had one person once ask me for facts that proved what the Qu'ran said about us "infidels." Well, I provided facts, and this person apologized, and actually became a fan.

If you become my fan, please do so because you enjoy my commentaries. I am not asking you to agree or disagree with me, but just listen to another view point. It is said that if you have 10 Jews in a room, you will get 11 opinions. The Internet works much like this, and you need to screen your sources and at times double check facts for yourself. I try to encourage people to do their own research, and I always try to do the same before posting on the blog.

Again, thanks for for stopping in from time to time. 

Gay Nativity Scene at Church Vandalized

Gay Nativity Scene at Church Vandalized - I don't know where to put the quotation marks that point to the obvious word that doesn't belong with the rest of the sentence. Gay, or Nativity?


The Huffington Post today reported that a "Nativity" scene (which I believe should read "naivety" instead) was vandalized by mysterious vandals in Claremont, CA and the local police are calling it a "hate" crime, but unfortunately folks, it "ain't what you think! The display did not have your traditional Jesus, Mary and Joseph, but had some "double gated" qualities which included depictions of gay and lesbian couples.

READ THE STORY HERE -----> Gay Nativity Scene Vandalized

Again, a "progressive" church bending the things God has determined to be wrong to be inclusive. While I personally don't care what Gay and Lesbians do, it is problematic for me that a mainstream Christian church is making up their own codes of morality. Seriously. I happen to like dancing girls, and I cannot wait for this church to start having dancing girls serve Holy Communion. I'll move to Claremont, CA and even serve on their church committee to see what other hair brained schemes we can come up with to desecrate the Word of God.

While the vandalism is a crime, and the "hate" is being investigated because it happened on church property, I would be that there are some people who may believe that the hate really started by the scene to begin with. If one cannot accept the Word of God, is that not hateful in itself?

I'm telling you. Some Pastors really need to re evaluate their calling. Either that or they missed a lesson or two in Old Testament 101.

Tourist Arrested in NYC for Legal Gun in Her State

Meredith Graves is a fourth year medical student from Tennessee and was visiting New York City and decided to visit the 9/11 Memorial. While there she saw a sign that said "No guns allowed," so she asked a security guard where she could check her pistola. The guard took her to a NYC Police Officer who promptly arrested the woman for having the weapon. You can read the account here ---> Meredith Graves arrested


The issue I have with this is that my marriage license is good in all 50 states, and all over the world. My Drivers License is good in all 50 states, and Canada, so is my insurance and registration, including other permits. Why is a gun permit then not valid in all 50 states if the possession of weapons is a federal guarantee?

 

If a locality wants to prohibit their locals from having weapons because the locals are crazy, that's one thing, but if my state allows me to have and carry a weapon, that piece of paper should serve notice to law enforcement that this citizen has done the right thing.


Mayor Bloomberg commented that it was an "illegal out of state gun" that recently killed a NYPD officer in the line of duty, but the killer is a local, and a criminal, and now a cop killer! I guess Bloomberg as a Democrat can not possibly blame the criminal, huh?

WHEN LIBERALS INFILTRATE THE CHURCH, SATAN IS RIGHT BEHIND THEM

What the hell is going on? Yes that doesn't sound "Christian" and it is not meant to be. My specific goals with my blogs are to be honest with the facts I have, hard hitting, holding no punches and to serve as an Ambassador for Christ.


I attend a "non-denominational" church and we believe the Bible as the infallible Word of God, and accept ALL of the teachings that it contains. This includes the "gifts of the Spirit," such as healing intercession for others, and prophecy.


Some years back, a visiting Evangelist proclaimed that there will come a day when Pastors will no longer preach the Word of God, and ordinary people will have to stand up and proclaim their faith. I see the church in general in very bad shape. Many Pastors are not teaching the entire Word of God, and many are offering watered down versions of the Gospel and teaching "Be Happy!" instead of Be Saved!


Honestly, this is why I decided to start this organization, and spend time blogging about Politics and the Christian Religion in the United States today.


This is an old story, but it has come to my attention today and has confirmed to me that Liberalism and Satan has infiltrated the church, and that some Congregations out there are in danger of finding themselves not among the redeemed, but the lost.


The church is losing it's focus on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and some congregations are adopting the false view that there is more than one way to Heaven. Really! That's not what the Bible teaches, and if you are in a congregation that accepts and  welcomes sin and immorality, or believes that there are many ways to God, you are sadly mistaken, and no matter what your view is, it is in opposition to the Word of God. Are you people making up your own gods as they do in India where they have one million three hundred thousand gods?


This brings me to today's post. Yesterday morning I was watching a television ministry in the background as I was doing research, and a story made my ears perk up. I believe that the story may be dated, but it's the importance of what I heard that has me commenting here.


The cross atop the bell tower of this formerly Christian church in Spring Lake, Michigan has been removed, as has "Christ" from the congregation's name. The congregation has been re christened "C3 Exchange," preferring to be identified as neither Christian nor church; rather, they seek to be an "inclusive spiritual community," promising to "honor all spiritual paths" and accept you "for who and where you are." Whether your tradition is Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Islam, agnostic, atheist, or anything in between, C3 Exchange offers to free you from what its leaders view as the dogmatic baggage of traditional religion for a chance to grow in the safety of their big tent.


Am I alone in asking "What the hell?" This is a deception from the gates of Hell, and I alone am declaring this congregation and Pastor to be apostates, and warn that what they are doing is against everything the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob stands for.  Does their communion consist of a Big Mac and a Coke?


The congregation broke ties with the Reformed Church of America in 1996, after the local governing body censured then-pastor Richard Rhem for teaching that salvation is available to non-Christians. The community chose to secede and operate as an independent Christian church.


Their direction took a dramatic turn in 2004 when Rhem retired and was succeeded by Ian Lawton, a former Anglican priest with a deep concern for people not in the pews--and a marked disdain for hierarchy and structure. Lawton left his native Australia for the chance to lead an independent church free of ecclesiastical authority. Giddy that he no longer had a bishop to answer to, Lawton had a miter placed on his head during his installation, while assuring the assembly he was not merely poking fun at Catholics. "I find the Episcopal Church or Anglican Church just as hilarious as the Catholic Church," he quipped in his inaugural sermon. "In fact, I find all denominations equally hilarious in their structures and their hierarchies."


The Pastor of this "community" advocates access to abortion, embryonic stem cell research and gay marriage-and not merely as personal opinions. They preach it from the pulpit, and have put the Christ Community Church congregational stamp on campaigns for Michigan ballot initiatives to lend their support for these causes. In his sermon of May 23, 2010 Lawton formally announced plans to remove the cross. "Don't look back, where the past lures you into ancient beliefs about not being good enough or needing a savior from outside of you." While embracing certain aspects of the Christian tradition, Lawton rejects its central tenet of the need for a savior--and he urges his community to reject it as well, contradicting the promise to "honor all spiritual paths.


In John 14:6, "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And Lawton says this isn't true? To believe otherwise compromises the entire basis of our faith. This is a universal truth that cannot be denied, but the sole universal truth C3 Exchange professes is love-which Lawton calls the "glue" that holds them together. The cross will be replaced with a heart, which he believes to be a fuller symbol of love than a cross.


In attempting to do due diligence, I have discovered that Pastor Lawton has placed the church building up for sale because of financial difficulties. This was reported in the Grand Haven Tribune on May 23, 2011, but according to their web site, C3 Exchange is meeting elsewhere.

According to the High Point Enterprise, more of this garbage cropped up nine months ago when Durham, NC pastor was fired for proclaiming he no longer believes in the traditional view of hell as a real place of eternal damnation, teeming with fire and brimstone.


The pastor, the Rev. Chad Holtz, was let go by his rural United Methodist church after he wrote a note on his Facebook page indicating he no longer subscribed to that traditional view of hell. Instead, he wrote, he agrees with author Rob Bell, whose controversial book “Love Wins” says churches that espouse belief in hell are “misguided and toxic.”

Local pastors, however, say their view of the Bible and its truths about hell haven't changed – nor will they change – despite an obvious shift in culture toward a kinder, gentler God.

“I’m not a sadist – I don't enjoy the concept of hell – but I dare not tamper with the words of Jesus,” says the Rev. Steve Welborn, pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Archdale. “He said more words about hell than he said about heaven. ... I think it was C.S. Lewis who said, ‘Hell is not just a bad hotel.’ I think we need to be very careful about lessening what Jesus held firmly to.”

Chris Fitzgerald, senior pastor of First United Methodist Church in High Point – the same denomination as the Durham pastor who lost his job – says that John Wesley, credited as a founder of the Methodist movement, certainly believed in hell.

“John Wesley simply said we give Scripture primacy, and Jesus spoke about hell,” Fitzgerald explains. “It’s defined in Scripture in terms of a place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as outer darkness, as the fire prepared for the devil and his angels. But there’s a common thread running through all of that, and that is that hell is depicted as a place or state of being separated from God.” Welborn reiterates that, just because people don't believe in hell like they once did, that doesn't change the truth.

Bill Maher Said What? Typical Leftie.

That pusillanimous little pip squeak Bill Maher has done it again. I believe the Jewish word for him is "SCHMUCK." He sent out a tweet regarding Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow during Christmas Eve's Broncos-Bills game where the Buffalo Bills defeated the Denver Broncos 41-14..

This guy needs serious psychological help, and Twitter.com should probably throw him off for the Terms of Service violation of posting the most profane and vile word in the English language.


Fox News is reporting that some are beginning to boycott HBO which airs Maher's show "Real Time with Bill Maher" and flooding Twitter.com with complaints.

Tim Tebow has been lampooned and ridiculed for his faith for some time simply because he has been vocal about his Christian values, and starred in a controversial pro-life Superbowl commercial. After joining the NFL, his in-game ritual of kneeling on the field and praying to God inspired the popular Internet meme "Tebowing."Imagine that! Standing up for your beliefs and being ridiculed by those who claim to be TOLERANT AND UNDERSTANDING of other peoples views.

The Internet Crusader is taking a strong stance in defending Tebow for his public expression of faith. The Bible tells us in John 15: ¹⁸If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. In other words, Tebow is hated by one who hates Jesus, in this case Maher, and in John 15: ²³He that hateth me hateth my Father also. I don't need to add anything here.

I am not calling for Maher's' removal because I believe that it is his right to be stupid and we need to keep a few of these fools around just to see how wacky they really are, but I think that Twitter and HBO need to hear what you think about this issue.

Imagine if Maher was a Republican, Conservative or a Christian and pulled this garbage. The Lunatic fringe would be out there occupying the mens room or something.

Wannabe Militant Islamist Christmas Message

 

This morning while doing research for a future post, I came across a most interesting article on The Blaze (theblaze.com) which talked about that wacky nut job and wannabe Islamist Anjem Choudary who lives in England and uses the freedoms of England and Western Civilization to try to spread the shackles of Islam to the world, a feat which at best is comical. Why an instigator and provocateur like this kook hasn't been thrown into prison yet baffles the mind.

 

Choudary has called for the execution of the Pope and his wannabe militant group, mostly made up of swarthy Middle Eastern type "men" wearing pajamas because they have no use for work and live on English Welfare for sustenance even asked if “the assassination of President Obama is legal.”

 

These are the practitioners of the "Religion of Peace." Islam. And while nut cases like Choudary and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (pronounced A-mad-man-nut-job) give Islam a bad name are never condemned by more moderate Muslim leaders. While branded as "The Religion of Peace" in order to fool it's enemies, there is nothing peaceful about Islam. Islam has five major sects (or denominations) and only one of them is "peaceful" with the wackiest and most demonically possessed of the five calling for the death of even other Muslims because they are not "following pure Islam." If that is not the pure definition of "EVIL, " I my friends do not know what is.

 

Back to Anjem (pronounced An-flem-jem), his Christmas message is that "if Jesus were alive today, (what a schmuck - Jesus IS alive) He would be a practicing Muslim," a religion made up six hundred years after Christ's crucifixion because the "Wandering" tribes (Arabs) in the desert wanted their own religion. Choudary also said that "Jesus (who he refers to as “Isa” which is His Arabic name) would also be leading the crusade to free “Muslim land” and implement Sharia law across the world." Huh? What Muslim lands does her refer to? France, Spain, and Austria?

The one thing I have learned when dealing with Muslims is that they are totally unaware of FACTUAL history. The Crusades for example were not undertaken to conquer Muslim lands, but to free lands captured by the Muslim hordes. If they use that analogy to justify "freeing Muslim lands" may I remind you that the British captured the entire Middle East after World War I, so perhaps we (the West) have one hell of a land claim, don't we?

 

The militant Jihadist who occasionally wears Western attire also claims that “Christmas has many evils associated with it” and that the “pagan holiday” is something that “Muslims must put on their agenda, to forbid and to invite people away from” by bringing them into Islam. Christmas was a Pagan holiday under the Romans, but Christianity adopted the day as their own and used it to celebrate the birth of Jesus, even though Jesus was not born in December. We commemorate His birthday on that day, but never let facts get in the way of a Muslim. After all, their book is better than our book. Just ask them!

 

Some of the craziest lines from his message are listed below ... My commentaries in [brackets] ...

 

Christmas is a period when many events and many views are heard. [This may be correct if expanding the Religious, secular, and other observances during that time of year, including Chanukah I guess] In particular, at this time of the year, people think about Jesus – ‘Isa, may he rest in peace. Jesus was not a Christian, [This is correct. Jesus was born a Jew and died as a Jew. He was a citizen of Rome, as Judea was an occupied province. As a matter of fact, the earliest "Christians" thought it a blasphemy to be called by the name of their Lord] and in fact, if Jesus was alive today, [The Christian believes He is alive, for if He were not resurrected, we would not have the hope of everlasting life] he would be following the Muslims and Islam [which in my opinion is a lie from the depths of hell].
Indeed, ‘Isa said that the Messenger Muhammad would come after him [and is a false statement, for the name Muhammad or Mohammad is not found in the Bible], and he gave him one of the names which Allah has mentioned in the Koran – Ahmad [another name NOT found in the Bible]. Indeed, ‘Isa was a Muslim [which is not and could not be possible since Islam was started some six hundred years later]. [...]
In fact, he said that you worship, and you obey, and you follow none but Allah. That is the true message of Jesus, as found in the Koran, and in the statements of the Messenger Muhammad. [Again, Islam was founded 600 years after Christ, and there were multiple and differing versions of the Qu 'ran. In fact, the reason Muslims observe Hal al (or Kosher) laws was because of their attempt to convert the Jews, who didn't buy it, and which started the hatred between the two peoples].

In this period as well, the Muslims – those who had the attribute of commanding good and forbidding evil [like killing and blowing people up I guess] – should realize that Christmas has many evils associated with it. Every true Christian as well knows that this has nothing to do with Christianity. This pagan festival, where there is promiscuity, the abuse of alcohol, domestic violence, and all kinds of crimes, the break-up of families, which are associated with it, is something that the Muslims must put on their agenda, to forbid and to invite people away from this debauchery, in Islam, the pure way of life. [I think this guy is drinking alcohol and possibly smoking pot to boot!].
Indeed, Jesus will return one day, and he will break the cross, and he will pray behind the Muslims. He will declare with them that indeed, he believes in the finality of the message of Muhammad, and in Islam. [Again, something not Biblical. For Jesus to deny the cross would mean that He is a liar and did not die for our sins. I heard this explanation of Islam once and believe that it is accurate. Mohammad was an illiterate herdsman and the Angel Jabril (Gabriel in Christianity) supposedly came to him, and instructed him to recite the Qu 'ran. Mohammad objected and the "Angel" began to squeeze him to the point that he could not breath. Then Mohammad agreed to "recite." God would never ask someone to do his bidding and when that person said no, then try to kill him. The closest example in the Bible I can cite is Jonah, whom God instructed to go to the city of Nenivah and have them repent. Jonah hated those people and went in the other direction. God interveined and he wound up in the belly of a great fish that took him to Nenivah, where the people repented and God spared the city from destruction. God does  not operate in people under the threat of death. That is an uniquely Islamic concept.]

Choudary then proclaimed that if Jesus was alive, [done that] we find that the Christian leaders nowadays are targeting the Muslims and imprisoning them [Okay kook, please provide the proof for this baseless and false accusation]. I have little doubt that indeed, if Jesus was alive today, [Done that] “he would probably spend his time in Belmarsh Prison, because of the views that he carries,“ and that he would ”not be with the Israelis, but rather, with the Muslims, the Palestinians, against the occupation.” [Yep! Next you'll be telling us that Jesus is a Liberal].

“He would not be with the Americans and the British in Iraq and Afghanistan, but rather, with the Muslims struggling and striving to liberate their land, and to implement divine law.” Well, I see things a little differently from our friend here. (John 8:44) "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

This man is a practitioner of the Religion of Peace. Doesn't sound very peaceful, does it? There are seven "great" religions in the world, yet only one has a "founder" (if you can call him that for lack of a better descriptor) claimed to be "God" (or the Son of God). That was Jesus. (John 14:9) "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

Monday Madness

Ah! The day after Christmas. Finally a day I got to sleep in for a change, which is not the norm around here.  Even though I am home recuperating from a medical condition for the past three months, and the doctor wants to keep me home for another three months (and my Federal job does not provide disability insurance so will be living on nothing) I still need to get up every morning to get the family off to work and school.

It was nice to sleep in, and I even got to dream which is an even rarer event. And I actually feel rested. Now why would I say that, well I've been very tired lately and have been blaming the medication. My last doctor's appointment I mentioned this and the doctor said no on the medications and that I was tired because I was resting so much. Does that make sense to you?

So we go to a diner for breakfast, since we got up late. Our waitress took our order, and another one walked over and said "Merry Christmas", caught herself and then said "Happy Holidays." I told her that it was okay to say Christmas, we weren't Liberals and appreciated the gesture. Then we enjoyed our fabulous meal and returned home.

Listen folks, it's okay to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's Christmas Day, not Holi-Day. Some people get offended at that but so what? It offends me that they don't say Merry Christmas, so whose offended less in this scenario?

Some people write Christmas out as Xmas. Okay, that to me is offensive but after thinking about it, guess what? It's OKAY to use Xmas. The original intention for Xmas was to take CHRIST out of CHRIST-MAS but that doesn't fly and proves that God has thought of everything. You see, the letter X is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ! Χριστός (pronounced Christos - meaning the anointed one, the Messiah, the Christ) and is used in the Ithycus (the Christian fish symbol sometimes having the Greek letters IXOYE inside).

History tells us that during the reign of Emperor Nero in Rome, there was persecution against the Christians. It caused them to flee to the catacombs to meet in secret and to use code words for things of a Christian nature in order to identify themselves to other Christians. One person would for example draw half of the fish in the sand, and if the other was also a Christian, they would complete the second side.The fish symbol is a sign of the "fishers of men" principle, and you see them, displayed on cares sometimes. You may also have seen it with an "IXOYE" inside of the fish. The Greek letters "I", "X", "O", "Y", and "E" are actually an abbreviation in Greek letters standing for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.

In Slavic countries, using the Cyrillic alphabet, The name Christ is Христос. There's that pesky "X" again, so go ahead! If you wish to say Xmas, I don't like it, but there's nothing wrong with it! And they thought they has us beaten.

I can' wait for the New Years Day post. I'm going to have fun with that one.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011

Merry Christmas to all of you! This will be short and sweet.

Christmas is a time of joy and a time of confusion. Why confusion? Well there are a number of "holidays" or "holy days" celebrated at this time of the year. As a Christian, defender of the faith, guardian of the realm, etc... Today, I personally celebrate or better stated commemorate this date as the date of the birth of Jesus. Yes, to me it is a "holy day," and we are grateful that God gave us his only Son, who would one day be sacrificed in order to pay for our sins.


I also realize that in the United States, we celebrate the secular Christmas with the commercialism and materialism that surrounds it.

Then you have some people who are acluistic (a non existent word that means "one who has no clue") and try to mix the Religious and Secular celebrations together. I have read the Bible and nowhere do I find Santa Claus (which is an English language butchering of the name Saint Nicolas in Dutch (phonetically Sant Nee-Klaus) and reindeer, or carolers, or egg nog and a decorated Christmas tree, or Frosty the Snowman mixed in with Joseph, Mary and Jesus in a manger with Babylonian Magi and local shepherds present.

Yet, there are some who don't want my religion shoved down their throat so they shove their Atheism down my throat. Well, in my opinion, that is not right either. Some call this the "War of Christmas" or the "War on Christians." This isn't correct. The correct analogy is that it is specifically a "War on God." Period.

A Christian has FAITH, and belief is based upon faith. I have had numerous arguments over the years with the thick headed and sometimes they make good points, but sooner or later it usually boils down to you can't see God, so he can't possibly exist. Well, you can't see oxygen wither but believe it exists don't you?

I'm sure this debate and topic will continue every year but don't give up hope. As a believer we look to the hope of Salvation through Jesus Christ and His death, but more importantly His resurrection.

If one believes in God, and at the end of his life discovers that there is nothing after all and that God was just a figment of mans' imagination, he really doesn't lose anything does he, BUT if one does not believe in God and at death finds out that He in fact does exist, he loses everything doesn't he?

Oh what a joy we share, those whom have placed their trust in the Lord.

WELCOME TO THE INTERNET CRUSADER

WELCOME . . .

Hello and Welcome to the inaugural blog post of THE INTERNET CRUSADER. Is that a great Domain name or what?

My name is Mario Romualdo and yes I have been posting my views and opinions on the Internet for some years now under a pseudonym. For those readers that don't know big words, a pseudonym means a "pen name."

Yes, I realize that most of you know of my sarcasm (as obviously expressed above) and sometimes dry humor or how I can keep a straight face, and you also know that I am fair, honest, and quite the straight shooter. I will try hard to present my views and opinions as best as I can, and will at times even type very slowly so that everyone can understand what I am speaking about.

Now, am I correct in my views and opinions? I hope so. Am I wrong from time to time? Sure. BUT I try to learn from my errors and a tend to keep my views open to correction which is one of the reasons I have done this in the past. I'm not here to change your mind, but to get you to look at another view on a subject, and right up front I'm letting everyone know that I use absurdity to illustrate the absurd.

Now, some quick points about the blog for those wishing to grasp what is going on here. A blog, or web log is defined as "a web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer." 

THE I-CRUSADER

The Internet Crusader is a part of the GODSPACT Network. GODSPACT is an acronym for the General Organization Dedicated to Securing and Preserving America's Christian Traditions. Using that name, I have been active in contacting political and legislative representatives and attempting to influence their decisions by either supporting or opposing legislation. That being said, what better way is there to define what my personal mission is than to take on the moniker of THE INTERNET CRUSADER?

First, let's define a few things. What is a "crusade"" A crusade is "to take part in a major effort to change something — usually for or against" what is trying to be achieved. A "crusader" is a person who is actively engaged in the activities of a crusade, which is has now taken the form of this blog as an additional resource.

Now, what is it exactly that I am crusading "for, or against?" Two things specifically, and both are considered "hot button" topics that we are told we should refrain from talking about. POLITICS and RELIGION. It's not the topic that I seek to address but areas where I think they are heading in the wrong direction.

Both are usually the cause of great discourse because we all have our own personal beliefs and opinions about them and arguments are usually intense. That is human nature but the mission I have developed for myself is to present my personal views and opinions about the political and religious issues of the day.

What do I hope to accomplish. Well, foremost, I hope to impart my knowledge to the reader so they can either agree with what I have to say, or at the least give it an honest hearing. If you change your mind because of something I have shared, great. If not, well I won't be losing sleep.

THIS POST

This post basically introduces myself and the bolg to the Internet world. I decided that perhaps it would be better to introduce myself and my goals to the reader first. You can't have people read something and wonder "Who is this guy?" Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I will post a Christmas message to all of you. I will be back on Monday, and start hacking away at the issues of the day involving Politics and Religion, so remember to visit us then.

POSTING SCHEDULE

I hope to post daily, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays but if necessary on Saturdays and Sundays) or at the very least several times per week. Unlike many bloggers, I haven't given up my day job or my volunteer work and substitute it with this, nor is this a money maker for me. I do this because I am watching the events of the day in both Politics and Religion and being a person who has been given the gift of understanding right and wrong on a higher level (Yes, that sounds self serving and self promoting, but you can say it if it's true).

THANK YOU

Lest I forget, I need to give those who have followed my blogs and other activities in the past a very heart felt thank you. I appreciate you reading my thoughts, opinions, musings, and nuttiness. Yes, I do have both a serious and a silly side. One shows my age, wisdom, experience and so on and the other shows how old I really feel. If you ever lose you fun side, then your youth or joy of life is most likely dead as well.

I was recently accused by a reader on the Huffington Post of being "Gods' divine messenger to us all" which I took as an insult, for I am not a prophet. I do not speak for God as his direct representative to mankind. That is not my job. What I do is present what I believe God conveyed to us. For me to add to the Word of God would be blasphemy, and thereby subject to the curse in Revelation 22: ¹⁸ I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. ¹⁹ And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll."

ABOUT MY OPINIONS

Please keep in mind that my views and opinions are just that, and that you should take it with a grain of salt. We are all given talents. Some use them well, and others don't use them at all. I seek honest dialogue, and will use this forum to try to get to the real truth, and not some made up conclusion. 

New Blog Protocols at I-Crusader and Godspact

POSTED TO ALL THREE BLOGS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES.

We plan to post the first INTERNET CRUSADER blog on December 24, 2011 sometime in the late afternoon. We hope that you will visit us then, and after that make us a part of your daily routine.

Visitors will have access to all of our blogs and other Internet media through the GODSPACT.ORG Internet site. We plan to utilize Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in order to "reach out" to the world as deemed necessary.

Access to the INTERNET CRUSADER blog can be done directly by using the URL address INTERNETCRUSADER.ORG and clicking on the BLOG link. Links to other Internet resources are also provided in the "LINKS" page on the web site which is the other button on the front page.

From that point forward, this blog will have consistent postings, and if something is posted in the GODSPACT Journal - (Politics or Religion blogs), you will see it "advertised" here so you don't have to waste your valuable time by checking them out for updates just to be disappointed to discover that there were no updates. This should really simplify things here.

We hope that you learn or benefit from our posts, but remember that what we post are our opinions. We try to be diligent in our research, but from past experience we find that sometimes facts can get skewed for source to source. We also encourage visitor input and participation.

On December 23, 2011 we will post a mission and purpose statement here to help new visitors see what we are all about. Our regular readers already know what those are, which is why we let them know that the first Official IC post will be done on the 24th.

We hope to present honest interpretations of the issues of the day in American Politics and the Christian Religion. We may at times get disrespectful or seem crude to some but that disrespect will be based on passion for an issue.

Thank you for reading... God Bless You, and God Bless America!

WE'RE ALMOST READY!

Our portal site located at http://www.internetcrusader.org/ is operational and we are finalizing work on the rest of our resources which should conclude in a few days.

Thanks for stopping by!
