Obama the Betrayer

I am not alone in thinking Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing…

“Tragically, Obama’s lasting legacy will have been to create a wave of cynicism and disillusionment and to have squandered a genuine opportunity for progressive social change.”

Here is a link to an article by Harold Jacobs: Obama: A Tale of Betrayal

I got what I expected from Bush so I will not claim disappointment.  I had some small degree of hope for Obama.  Read the rest of this entry »

American Savings?!?!

From Freakanomics…

50% of Americans say they cannot lay their hands on $2000 in 30 days.   Why $2000, because that is a good guess at what an average, sudden crisis would cost.  20% of households making $150,000 per year say they cannot come up with the $2000.

On the flip side an American household spends on average $520 per year on lotteries.  20% of households say their only chance of accumulating wealth is the lottery.  40% of households making less than $25,000 a year make that claim.

Just something to chew on.

Reading the passages below, sure sounds like it to me!!!

Acts 4:
31: And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
32: And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33: And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34: Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35: And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36: And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37: Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. Read the rest of this entry »

The first 3 gospels have Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross.  John has Jesus carrying the cross.  Go with the majority???

Matthew 27: 32 — And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

Mark 15:21 — And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

Luke 23:26 — And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

John 19:16 -17 –Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

…yeah I know you did not ask!

I am sure I am not the first to think of this…I just wonder how much better and less conflicted Christianity and western civilization would be if the Apostle Paul had gotten laid regularly.

Is Jesus descended from Abraham and David?

Download as PDF

The big deal of Matthews is that Jesus is a direct descendent of Abraham through Isaac, King David, Solomon and others. Finally in the lineage is Joseph who became the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

As Mary was impregnated by the Holy Ghost Joseph did not know Mary sexually until after the birth of Jesus

Question —  How does that make Jesus a descendant of Abraham and the others?  It strikes me that the chain was broken with the “virgin” birth.

Matthew 1:1The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Read the rest of this entry »
