But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,

For if any be a hearer of the word,

IN the NEWS -Eiffel Tower Terror Plot

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, Matthew 5:19

French cultural monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre were top terror targets of a foiled French jihadist, according to leaked transcripts published Wednesday of Internet conversations he had with an al-Qaeda-linked group.

"The messages were sent using a “special encryption programme”, according to French daily Le Parisien, and took place between a 29-year-old French citizen of Algerian descent, named only as Ali M, and a “senior member” of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
The pair exchanged messages online for a year, according to the report.
These were decrypted after Ali M’s arrest by France’s intelligence services in July 20. The halal butcher and father of two from the Vaucluse region of southern France was on his way to train with AQIM in the southern Algerian desert when he was detained.
According to the leaked documents, in April 2013 Ali M was asked to send “suggestions on the future activity of jihad [in France]”.
The following day, he sent a long email detailing his chilling plans.

“The targets should be average French citizens from the poorer classes gathering in small places, such as bars and nightclubs,” he wrote. Wanting to avoid any attacks on France’s Muslim population, he suggested avoiding shopping areas.
‘Imagine the effect of an improvised explosive device (IED)’
He also detailed historical monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum in central Paris, and without naming the Avignon arts festival, the leaked message talks about “cultural events taking place in southern France during which Christians gather for a month”.
“The roads become thick with people and just a single grenade would be enough to hurt dozens of people,” the message continued. “Imagine the effect of an improvised explosive device (IED).”
Later transcripts reveal Ali M’s willingness to recruit others to the cause, and are followed by an invitation to meet AQIM leaders in the Saharan south of Algeria “for ten days of training and to learn military techniques, after which you will return [to France] to await further instructions.”
In May 2013, Ali M wrote that he was ready to travel to Algeria, via Tunisia, and had a ticket booked for July. He was arrested a week before his departure by officers of the French DGSI domestic intelligence services." France24

"Earth's magnetic field, which protects the planet from huge blasts of deadly solar radiation, has been weakening over the past six months, according to data collected by a European Space Agency.....
The biggest weak spots in the magnetic field — which extends 370,000 miles (600,000 kilometers) above the planet's surface — have sprung up over the Western Hemisphere, while the field has strengthened over areas like the southern Indian Ocean,....
The scientists who conducted the study are still unsure why the magnetic field is weakening, but one likely reason is that Earth's magnetic poles are getting ready to flip, ...... the data suggest magnetic north is moving toward Siberia.
Researchers think power grids and communication systems would be most at risk." Yahoo

Creation Moment 7/12/2014 - Early Champion of Theistic Evolution

"They started right at the beginning. The first thing they denied was the existence of Adam and Eve. The
Catholic priest Chardin
early champion of the false doctrine
of theistic evolution
“creation story,” as they call it, was too much to swallow. They refused to see the Omnipotent Hand of God in the creation of one man and one woman, from whom all people would be born.
Following the materialists, they clung instead to the grotesquerie of man’s upward ascent from the ape in a progression of hideous creatures of their own imagination. They declared that some family of apes called hylobatidae split into hominidae—as if that explained anything at all. They came up with neo-Latin names to deceive and impress: Australopithecus, Homo erectus, Homo Heidelbergensis, Homo rhodesiensis, Homo denisova, and finally, the familiar, Homo neanderthalenis—the Neanderthal.

They presented those creatures of their imagination as scientific fact. It didn’t matter that they had no more ‘evidence’ than a jawbone here, a skull, there, and various bone fragments that they labelled and pronounced pre-human.
They spun their fairy tales from fossils and taught polygenesis as truth.
But look what happens when you start with a false premise. The logic can be unassailable, but the conclusions are still false. The lie grows more blatant and the thought disorder more severe with every assertion. Let’s follow the line of reasoning in the usual if…then…form.
They needed to come up with a new spirituality, a new theology, fit for the superior post-modern mind. Something to fill the emptiness. They believed themselves Christians, after all.
It didn’t take them long to find a champion.
He was Fr. Teilhard de Chardin, the Jesuit priest-paleontologist. In 1917, he wrote Le prêtre, (The Priest), laying the theological foundation of a substitute faith. The New Religion has one principal doctrine, from which all his errors flow: The universe is evolving from matter to Humanity and Humanity is evolving into Christ.
A new spirit, born of speculative evolutionism and the worship of science, had been let loose. The underground circulation continued unabated. Teilhard died, but in 1957, another of his books, Le phénomène humain, was published in France. Three years later, in 1960. The English edition of The Phenomenon of Man, was published, followed by The Divine Milieu.
To Teilhard, there was no separate supernatural realm. Everyone and everything were involved in the “transformation of consciousness.”

For the Teilhardians..... It’s not just matter, you see. Not at all. There is no distinction between matter and spirit. The universe is alive, evolving, transforming until someday, the whole beautiful thing will be Christ.
Come on. Are these people serious? Rocks and minerals and inert gasses are going to be Christ?
The living universe will be divinized. We will all together, not singly, not individually, but indivisibly reach the Omega Point.
And what is that?
Christ.
Not Jesus of Nazareth. Oh, no. The Cosmic Christ. Christ is huge, they say. He is a continually evolving being as big as the universe." by S.C. Potts

J.Q. Adams & Mende letter

"In 1839, Mende tribesmen, abducted from Sierra Leone to be sold into slavery, took control of the ship La Amistad off the coast of Cuba. Shortly thereafter, the ship was commandeered by the US.
A lengthy legal battle ensued, capturing the attention of the world. By 1841, their case had landed in the Supreme Court. John Quincy Adams, recently retired from his presidency, decided to represent the group of 53 Africans and was instrumental in winning their freedom.
On the 175th anniversary of the famed Amistad Rebellion, a thank-you note, handwritten by four different freed slaves to President John Quincy Adams, has resurfaced.


Along with the letter, the men had also reportedly given a Bible to the former president.

Notes in the letter include:

"
We love you very much and we will pray for you when we rise up in the morning and when we lie down at night."

"We pray for all the good people who make us free. Wicked people want to make us slaves, but the Great God who has made all things raise up friends for the Mende people—He give us Mr. Adams that He may make me free."  BCN

IN the NEWS - Really wanna eat that pork today?

"Since May of 2013, more than 100,000 piglets and young hogs have died on average each week from the lethal disease, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, or PEDv.

The New York Times reports that the number of pigs slaughtered by the pork industry this year is 4.2 percent less than average because of spread of the disease.
The disease has influenced pork prices across the nation. Bacon now costs 15 percent more than it did last May and the cost of pork chops is up 13 percent.
Although the disease is being studied, scientists are still unsure about how PEDv spreads, or how it originated.
“They don’t know where this disease is coming from,” he told NPR. “Even closed operations that aren’t getting pigs from the outside have gotten this, even with the strictest biosecurity situations. So everybody’s at risk.”" PBS

"In the same-sex marriage debate, Elton John believes he knows where Jesus would've stood.

The musician, who plans to marry his partner David Furnish next year, talked to Sky News on Sunday about how pleased he is with Pope Francis and how he wishes the Church of England would show greater support for his message.
"The new Pope has excited me so much by his humanity," John said. "He's stripped it down to the bare bones and said it's all basically about love and taking everybody in, inclusiveness. And that has to be encouraged by the Church of England."
So when it comes to issues such as vows of celibacy for Catholic priests and gay clergymen being able to marry, John said the church needs to catch up with the times.
"These are old and stupid things, and the church hierarchy might be up in arms about it -- the traditionalists -- but times have changed," John said. "We live in a different time. If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen." CNN
Response to sir Elton John-
1) Jesus is alive today (what do u mean "if" Christ was alive today?)
2) The Word of God says the same thing on sexual immorality that it did when it was written (Times may have "changed"...but the Word of God hasn't)
3) As for "inclusiveness" taking everybody in.....will everybody "be in" at the resurrection?...NO

IN the NEWS - Academic Wickedness on display

An academic gathering of pointy headed intellectuals (& others) tried to justify paedophilia!
These sick, twisted individuals know no bounds publicly to their shame. After gay marriage--will paedophilia be the next perversion to normalize?


"Paedophilic interest is natural and normal for human males,” said the presentation. “At least a sizeable minority of normal males would like to have sex with children … Normal males are aroused by children.”
The statement that paedophilia is “natural and normal” was made ....as one of the central claims of an academic presentation delivered, at the invitation of the organisers, to many of the key experts in the field at a conference held by the University of Cambridge.
Other presentations included “Liberating the paedophile: a discursive analysis,” and “Danger and difference: the stakes of hebephilia.”
Hebephilia is the sexual preference for children in early puberty, typically 11 to 14-year-olds.
Another attendee, and enthusiastic participant from the floor, was one Tom O’Carroll, a multiple child sex offender, long-time campaigner for the legalisation of sex with children and former head of the Paedophile Information Exchange. “Wonderful!” he wrote on his blog afterwards. “It was a rare few days when I could feel relatively popular!”
The perspectives of most, though not all, the contributors, appeared strongly pro-paedophile. At least two were members of PIE and at least one, Peter Righton, (who was, incredibly, director of education at the National Institute for Social Work) was later convicted of child sex crimes. But from the viewpoint of today, the fascinating thing about Perspectives on Paedophilia is that at least two of its contributors are still academically active and influential.
As recently as 2012, Prof Plummer published on his personal blog a chapter he wrote in another book, Male Intergenerational Intimacy, in 1991. “As homosexuality has become slightly less open to sustained moral panic, the new pariah of 'child molester’ has become the latest folk devil,” he wrote. “Many adult paedophiles say that boys actively seek out sex partners … 'childhood’ itself is not a biological given but an historically produced social object.”
 A spokesman for Essex University claimed Prof Plummer’s work “did not express support for paedophilia” and cited the university’s charter which gave academic staff “freedom within the law to put forward controversial and unpopular opinions without placing themselves in jeopardy”.
After a fierce battle in the American Psychiatric Association (APA), which produces it, a proposal to include hebephilia as a disorder in the new edition of the manual has been defeated. The proposal arose because puberty in children has started ever earlier in recent decades and as a result, it was argued, the current definition of paedophilia – pre-pubertal sexual attraction – missed out too many young people.
Ray Blanchard, professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto, who led the APA’s working group on the subject, said that unless some other way was found of encompassing hebephilia in the new manual, that was “tantamount to stating that the APA’s official position is that the sexual preference for early pubertal children is normal”.
But perhaps the most controversial presentation of all was by Philip Tromovitch, a professor at Doshisha University in Japan, who stated in a presentation on the “prevalence of paedophilia” that the “majority of men are probably paedophiles and hebephiles” and that “paedophilic interest is normal and natural in human males”.
O’Carroll, the former PIE leader, was thrilled, and described on his blog how he joined Prof Tromovitch and a colleague for drinks after the conference. “The conversation flowed most agreeably, along with the drinks and the beautiful River Cam,” he said." TheTelegraph.UK

Creation Moment 7/11/2014 - Emotion Code

"Researchers say brains use a standard code
to speak the same emotional language,
whether we smell, taste or touch something."

DailyMail.UK

"Although feelings are personal and subjective, the human brain turns them into a standard code that objectively represents emotions across different senses, situations and even people, reports a new study by Cornell neuroscientist Adam Anderson.
"We discovered that fine-grained patterns of neural activity within the orbitofrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with emotional processing, act as a neural code which captures an individual’s subjective feeling," says Anderson....
"If you and I derive similar pleasure from sipping a fine wine or watching the sun set, our results suggest it is because we share similar fine-grained patterns of activity in the orbitofrontal cortex," Anderson says.
"It appears that the human brain generates a special code for the entire valence spectrum of pleasant-to-unpleasant, good-to-bad feelings, which can be read like a ’neural valence meter’ in which the leaning of a population of neurons in one direction equals positive feeling and the leaning in the other direction equals negative feeling," Anderson explains.
They also discovered that similar subjective feelings - whether evoked from the eye or tongue - resulted in a similar pattern of activity in the OFC, suggesting the brain contains an emotion code common across distinct experiences of pleasure (or displeasure), they say. Furthermore, these OFC activity patterns of positive and negative experiences were partly shared across people.
"Despite how personal our feelings feel, the evidence suggests our brains use a standard code to speak the same emotional language," Anderson concludes." MyScience

3) Led Eve to depend on human reason & logic
4) Persuaded Eve to follow the testimony of her senses
5) Used Eve to tempt Adam

Creation Moment 7/10/2014 - Neanderthal R Humans

"Neanderthals, like modern humans, likely communicated among themselves and with others using tonal languages.
New research, published in the journal Frontiers in Language Sciences, presents strong evidence -- genetic, fossil, archaeological and more -- that modern speech and language existed among Neanderthals, Denisovans and early members of our own species.

“Modern humans and Neanderthals and Denisovans are very similar genetically, and there are indications of interbreeding as well, strengthening this similarity,” lead author Dan Dediu told Discovery News, explaining that a gene involved in language and speech, FOXP2, is present in all three groups.
In addition to outlining the DNA evidence, Dediu and colleague Stephen Levinson also explain that Neanderthals possessed a human-like hyoid bone, which is involved in speech production. Neanderthal ear bones further appear to have evolved for hearing speech in addition to other sounds, just as ours have." DiscooverynNews

"The remains of an ancient human in China not thought to be Neanderthal has an inner ear much like that of humans' closest extinct relatives, according to a new study. These new findings could be evidence of interbreeding between Neanderthals and other species of archaic humans in China;

Instead, "what these findings say to me are that characteristics were probably more varied in ancient human populations than we think," Trinkaus said. "We see characteristics mix and match in populations across the world nowadays, and I believe that characteristics shuffled back and forth in ancient human populations across the landscape over centuries and millennia. The idea of distinct, separate lineages in this time period in human evolution is meaningless — it was much more of a labyrinth than that."

Papal Notes - Francis: GREEN Religion & Sunday

"CAMPOBASSO, Italy, July 5 (Reuters) - Pope Francis called for more respect for nature on Saturday, branding the destruction of South America's rain forests and other forms of environmental exploitation a sin of modern times.

In an address at the university of Molise, an agricultural and industrial region in southern Italy, Francis said the Earth should be allowed to give her fruits without being exploited.

"This is one of the greatest challenges of our time: to convert ourselves to a type of development that knows how to respect creation," he told students, struggling farmers, and laid-off workers in a university hall.


This is our sin, exploiting the Earth and not allowing her to her give us what she has within her," the Argentine pope said in unprepared remarks.

Francis, who took his name from Francis of Assisi, the 13th century saint seen as the patron of animals and the environment, is writing an encyclical on man's relationship with nature.
Since his election in March, 2013, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics has made many appeals in defense of the environment."



Comments:
In Molise, the Pope did more than lament work being done on Sunday.  (see link: http://master1844-dc.blogspot.com/2014/07/papal-notes-breaking-news-uhoh.html)  He also appealed to those of the GREEN Religion.
Here we see, a pope, in a single day talking of the sacredness of Sunday & later that day talking of "mother earth".
How many times have we claimed on this blog site that, as spiritual Babylon sets up the mark of the beast ( a false Sabbath day to appease Father God) that a way to reach out for co-operation from spiritual Egypt could be the GREEN Religion?
Here, in one day, we hear Francis doing both.


1) Francis appeals to the neo-paganism of mother earth.....calling it "SIN" to engage in development of natural resources that apparently doesn't reach the standard of approval of environmentalists.
....for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator,
Romans 1:25 AV
2) Francis appeals to the sacredness of Sunday (hence his lament for working on that day).....But isn't shifting sacredness from the 7th day (of the 4th commandment of God) to the 1st day of the week "SIN"? Because isn't sin a violation of God's Law? Not a violation of environmental activists opinions?
...for sin is the transgression of the law.

According to the British newspaper the Telegraph--
this is supposed to be the best re-creation model of a
human (L) & a neanderthal (R)......Both look human to me....

So in other words...since they can interbreed with "humans", and we now know they buried their dead and wore colored items for clothing like "humans", ate veggies like "humans", and  looked "like modern humans, but with a stockier build, more prominent brow ridges and wider noses"....then they were just humans who had "a stockier build, more prominent brow ridges and wider noses."

Papal Notes - Pope calls for No Work on Sunday

"Pope Francis has lamented the abandoning of the traditionally
Christian practice of not working on Sundays, saying it has a negative impact on families and friendships.
Francis on Saturday traveled to Molise, an agricultural region in the heart of southern Italy where unemployment is chronically high. While he said poor people need jobs to have dignity, he indicated that opening stores and other businesses on Sundays as a way to create jobs wasn't beneficial for society.
Francis said the priority should be "not economic but human," and that the stress should be on families and friendships, not commercial relationships. He added: "Maybe it's time to ask ourselves if working on Sundays is true freedom."
He said that spending Sundays with family and friends is an "ethical choice" for faithful and non-faithful alike." ABC

A report from the Assyrian International News Agency said ISIS began enforcing Islamic laws in the northern Iraq city which they overran on June 10.
Dr. Sallama Al-Khafaji of the Iraq High Commission for Human Rights said the incident happened on Saturday after ISIS began asking Christians in Mosul for a poll tax.
“In one instance, ISIS members entered the home of an Assyrian family in Mosul and demanded the poll tax (jizya). When the Assyrian family said they did not have the money, three ISIS members raped the mother and daughter in front of the husband and father. The husband and father was so traumatized that he committed suicide,” said the report." RFC

James 4:4
Anything these days for a fast buck.....$$$$$$


"Burger King has concocted yet another way to have it your way: a gay pride burger.
The Proud Whopper, as it's called, comes wrapped in a rainbow colored wrapper with this inscription: "We are all the same inside." It will be sold through Thursday at one Burger King restaurant on San Francisco's Market Street, that was at the heart of the route for last weekend's 44th annual San Francisco Pride Celebration & Parade.
Burger King on Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. EST plans to post a two-minute video about the Proud Whopper on its YouTube channel.
"It showcases who we are as a brand," says Fernando Machado, senior vice president of global brand management at Burger King. "It shows how we, as a brand, believe in self-expression."
The inspiration behind the unusual burger wrap and video, he says, is Burger King's localized efforts to put into motion actions that support its recently-tweaked slogan: "Be Your Way."
The move also demonstrates BK's desire to stay connected to its base of Millennial customers. Gay rights is an issue that

 both inside and outside the U.S. Burger King also was a sponsor of San Francisco's gay pride parade. Machado says that's the first time Burger King has sponsored a gay pride parade in the U.S., though it may have sponsored some outside the country.

The downtown San Francisco Burger King sold "Proud Whoppers" last weekend, during the parade and also passed out some 50,000 rainbow Burger King crowns, that were worn by parade participants and spectators. The video, created by the Miami office of Burger King's ad agency David, captures customers discussing whether or not the burger, itself, is different. At $4.29 it costs the same as a conventional Whopper. And, indeed, customers ultimately discover the only difference is the rainbow wrap."

Liberal logic: outrage at private position of owners of a chicken chain, but ok w Burger King's public use of a rainbow wrapper.
Hey @BurgerKing, want to really speak truth to power? Want to shake things up? How about a Second Amendment Whopper? Be my way, right?

ARCHAEOLOGY: Argentine Box of Surprises

"A few months ago, Argentine scientists found the remains of a giant dinosaur. Now they look forward to digging up hundreds more fossils,.... In recent years, the discovery of fossils of such sauropods -- giant plant-eaters with thin necks and a long tail -- in Argentina's Patagonia region confirmed that the remote area was once home to the largest dinosaurs to roam the Earth.
In May, scientists announced they had found the remains of a humongous 80-ton sauropod and bones of six other specimens of the creature.
"It ended up being the biggest find in the world, with seven specimens in the same place," said Otero.
"With all that we have left to do, it is like a box of surprises for what will come later."
Carballido added that while only 30 percent of the fossil extraction work is done, already 200 fossils have emerged.
The discovery of the biggest dinosaur ever found happened on a private estate west of Trelew when a worker spotted what would turn out to be the largest femur ever found. It was a whopping 2.40 meters long." Yahoo
