December 25th is a day to celebrate the birth of a man who lived and died. OUr forefathers of this country proclaimed it a holiday, just like the ones for Columbus, Lincoln and Washington, and even Martin Luther King...

The manger scenes are of his birth.

Somewhere along the way, that day is now a celebration of “little trees” (according to the Obamas), Hannuka, and other religious events.

Denouncing and not allowing Christmas scenes or celebrations because is links church and state is wrong.

Hopefully Trump will turn this one around too.

It says the decline of church-going and the rise of Islam and other beliefs mean a “new settlement” is needed for religion in the U.K., giving more official influence to non-religious voices and those of non-Christian faiths.

Meanwhile here in the US we are trying hard not to offend. WTF up!

They are trading Christianity for Islam, just like the rest of Western Europe and the US.

Islam will fill the vacuum created by the godless secular society. How foolish and shortsighted.

I would think that increasing the amount of Christianity in England would help to reduce the influence of Islam.

Getting rid of it is just going to accelerate the influence of Islam.

Every teacher I have asked said they recite the pledge every day.

Then they’re still doing something wrong. They are sending children out into the world who are ignorant of American history as well as every other subject. Ever talk to an American teenager?

This Hussein statement made my head explode but on the other hand I like it when the enemy outs himself.

The UK has taken the second step towards Dhimmitude.

The great Western experiment of Islam conquering without the sword but by use of the ‘host’ nation’s own laws now in full view.

Wonder when the Muslims in the US will figure out that States can establish religions. Will MI be our first Muslim state.

How bad does it have to get before Crusades are organized again? Or is it too late?

Dubya tried; but failed at executing the war properly. He even called the WOT a "crusade" at the beginning, but CAIR objected, so he and the public and our representatives backed down, and the media had a field day.

“My African friends are strong, witnessing Christians.”

Perhaps your Christian African friends can send missionaries to spread the Good Word in hedonist hellholes like Chicago, Washington DC and Los Angeles.

Last night I was curious about the religious program Tomorrow's World, which is usually about the world today and biblical prophecy, and my curiosity lead me to church founder Herbert W. Armstrong and his beliefs.

According to Wiki:

Armstrong adhered to a form of British Israelism which stated that the British, American and many European peoples were descended from the so-called Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, using this belief to state that biblical references to Israel, Jacob, etc., were in fact prophecies relating to the modern day, with literal application to the USA, Britain, and the British Commonwealth.

In the course of this teaching, he also accepted the concept of an Assyrian-German connection and often made identifications of other nations in "Bible prophecy", such as Russia and China.

As a result of this, Armstrong believed that a unified Europe (identified by him as a "revived Roman Empire" and as the "beast" of Revelation 13) would oppose Jesus at his second coming in the battle of Armageddon.

Furthermore, he stated repeatedly that this unified Europe would have previously defeated and enslaved the American and British peoples. He often pointed to the European "Common Market" or European Community as its precursor, but tended to refer to it as "a kind of United States of Europe."

Splinter groups (previously members of the Worldwide Church of God) today usually identify the current European Union as the unified Europe Armstrong devoted much writing to.

He was born in 1892 and had views formed in and by that time that I both agree with and disagree with, but I'm keeping my mind open with regards to biblical prophecy these days.

With the recent addition of the GovCo sanctioned and mandated Euro-muslim invasion to the mix, I'm looking into what some voices from our past have said and have warned about.

These interesting times sure do seem to be the times we were warned about in several books of the Bible and the two signs of the apocalypse are being made into billboards bigger than the Big Hoss TV at the Texas Motor Speedway!

Not saying they are doing everything right, but I believe the “they do not even say the pledge anymore in public schools” belief is erroneous.

We didn’t say the pledge in high school - and that was back in the 70s.
