“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away” (Isaiah 64:6).

When Jesus died on the Cross, He died for the sins of the whole world. He paid the debt for our sins that we could never pay.  Three days later He rose from the dead; He conquered sin and death for those who would trust in Him.  We must repent (agree with God that we are sinners) and believe that Jesus died to pay our sin debt. And when we do this, He becomes our Lord and Savior and we are reconciled to our Father in heaven. This is also known as being born again from above.

“Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”  (John 14:5-6).

The Religious Left

There is a group of people who call themselves the “Religious Left.”  If they are saying that they follow God and His Word but they are progressive Leftists, then I have news for them.  They are not fooling anyone, and since they believe that religiosity makes them acceptable to God – the name “Religious Left” is nothing but an oxymoron.

I would love to hear one of the “Religious Left” explain to a person how to be made right with God.  I have a strong feeling that it would begin something like this:

“Well, you see there are many ways to reach God. Different people see God through the lens of Buddha and some through Allah …….etc etc etc.” These people would be sharing  New Age teachings, and both teacher and student would miss the mark; and unless the Lord opened their eyes to the Truth,  they would both perish.

During the last election, the Left saw the power of the Evangelical vote. You know the old saying:  “If you can’t beat them – join them.”  But in this case it is a devilish plot to make people believe that one can be pro abortion, pro gay marriage, pro transgender and Israel hating – yet still throw in that word “Religious” and that somehow gives them a outward semblance of holiness.

NOTHING could be further from the truth.

‘Religious left’ emerging as U.S. political force in Trump era

Since President Donald Trump’s election, monthly lectures on social justice at the 600-seat Gothic chapel of New York’s Union Theological Seminary have been filled to capacity with crowds three times what they usually draw.

And Satan could not be happier.

In January, the 181-year-old Upper Manhattan graduate school, whose architecture evokes London’s Westminster Abbey, turned away about 1,000 people from a lecture on mass incarceration. In the nine years that Reverend Serene Jones has served as its president, she has never seen such crowds.

The Reverend is a woman. Oh, I’m shocked! 

“The election of Trump has been a clarion call to progressives in the Protestant and Catholic churches in America to move out of a place of primarily professing progressive policies to really taking action,” she said.

These “progressives”  in the Protestant and Catholic churches are also known as  “lost.”

Although not as powerful as the religious right, which has been credited with helping elect Republican presidents and boasts well-known leaders such as Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson, the “religious left” is now slowly coming together as a force in U.S. politics.

Oh, these folks were also there. But now they call themselves “Religious.” (like putting lipstick on a pig – it’s still a pig)

This disparate group, traditionally seen as lacking clout, has been propelled into political activism by Trump’s policies on immigration, healthcare and social welfare, according to clergy members, activists and academics. A key test will be how well it will be able to translate its mobilization into votes in the 2018 midterm congressional elections.

In other words, will Organizing for Action be able to gather these pretenders together and get them ready for battle?

“It’s one of the dirty little secrets of American politics that there has been a religious left all along and it just hasn’t done a good job of organizing,” said J. Patrick Hornbeck II, chairman of the theology department at Fordham University, a Jesuit school in New York.

Actually there has ALWAYS been unsaved people but they never wanted to use the term “Religious” before.

“It has taken a crisis, or perceived crisis, like Trump’s election to cause folks on the religious left to really own their religion in the public square,” Hornbeck said.

OH PLEASE!

Religious progressive activism has been part of American history. Religious leaders and their followers played key roles in campaigns to abolish slavery, promote civil rights and end the Vietnam War, among others. The latest upwelling of left-leaning religious activism has accompanied the dawn of the Trump presidency.

First of all, those who wanted to abolish slavery were “Republicans” and those who marched against the Vietnam War were “Hippies.”

Some in the religious left are inspired by Pope Francis, the Roman Catholic leader who has been an outspoken critic of anti-immigrant policies and a champion of helping the needy.

Oh, for sure – Pope Francis should be the Pied Piper of the Religious Left! 

Although support for the religious left is difficult to measure, leaders point to several examples, such as a surge of congregations offering to provide sanctuary to immigrants seeking asylum, churches urging Republicans to reconsider repealing the Obamacare health law and calls to preserve federal spending on foreign aid.

So let me get this straight: Congregations of the Religious Left allowing illegal immigrants to live in their “churches” Umm…..that’s breaking the law. And when they say “Federal spending on foreign aid – that translates to “Keep giving money overseas for ABORTIONS.

The number of churches volunteering to offer sanctuary to asylum seekers doubled to 800 in 45 of the 50 U.S. states after the election, said the Elkhart, Indiana-based Church World Service, a coalition of Christian denominations which helps refugees settle in the United States – and the number of new churches offering help has grown so quickly that the group has lost count.

Wouldn’t it be great if these same Leftists cared as much about babies in their mother’s wombs as they do about illegal immigrants?

“The religious community, the religious left is getting out, hitting the streets, taking action, raising their voices,” said Reverend Noel Anderson, its national grassroots coordinator.

So I guess they realized that the Woman’s marches with obscene hats and foul language wasn’t a big hit……..Yeah, they were pretty gross.

In one well-publicized case, a Quaker church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on March 14 took in a Honduran woman who has been living illegally in the United States for 25 years and feared she would be targeted for deportation.

I have no words for this one.

‘NEVER SEEN’ THIS

Leaders of Faith in Public Life, a progressive policy group, were astounded when 300 clergy members turned out at a January rally at the U.S. Senate attempting to block confirmation of Trump’s attorney general nominee, Jeff Sessions, because of his history of controversial statements on race.

This is a blatant lie.

“I’ve never seen hundreds of clergy turning up like that to oppose a Cabinet nominee,” said Reverend Jennifer Butler, the group’s chief executive.

Yeah, and you didn’t see it now either.

Rest of Reuter’s Rubbish

Satan is getting desperate because he knows that he has but a short time.

Why don’t we cut to the chase and call these folks what they really are:

The Church of Satan

If I sound frustrated and angry, it’s because I am.

It’s called righteous indignation.

I remembered writing this article 3 years ago, and I felt that it was a good time to bring it out again.  The article speaks of “Fast tracking” medicines.”  The Covid-19 Vaccine should be ready in 12-18 months. You should know that almost all vaccines take between 5 and 15 years to develop.

Could this Gates vaccine be bringing help to humanity, or will it begin the “culling” of humanity?

Original article:

It’s all about the money.

Should that surprise us?

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” (1 Timothy 6:10).

The Bible does not say that “money” is the root of all evil; it says that the root of all evil is the love of money.  Money, in and of itself, can be used for good and noble causes, but for many people, money has become their god.

Obama, Congress and FDA

While much of America was busy rejoicing over the election of Donald Trump, Congress quietly pushed through legislation which was great for Big Pharma, but for the unsuspecting America people – not so much.  This legislation, which was passed by both sides of the political isle, is called “21st Century Cures.” As usual, the bill has hundreds of pages. This is a tactic used by the left to push through legislation quickly. They know that no one is going to sit and read this drivel – easier to just pass it.

What you need to know about 21st Century Cures Act:

Congress Prepares To Vote On Bill That Would Speed Up Drug Approval

Sometimes rushing the process costs people their lives

Congress will vote today on a nearly 1,000-page bill that holds drastic changes for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If the bill is approved, it would speed up the approval of new drugs and medical devices. The House has been heavily criticized for allegedly rushing piece of legislation through without sufficient scrutiny.

The legislation, dubbed the 21st Century Cures Act, sets aside $6.3 billion for biomedical research, opioid abuse prevention, and support for the FDA, which oversees the safety of drugs. Multiple provisions are contained in the bill that are designed to loosen the requirements for drugmakers seeking approval from the agency to market their products.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle largely support the bill, but consumer advocates say major trade-offs in the legislation could actually strip the FDA of some of its regulatory power. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other lawmakers argue the bill contains giveaways for the pharmaceutical industry.

In a tweet dated November 28, Sen. Warren said:

“Congress has been working on medical innovation legislation for yrs. But in the final days of 2016, Big Pharma hijacked 21st Century Cures.”

Drug and medical device companies are thrilled with the legislation, which lobbyists have been working overtime to try and get passed. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, more than 1,400 lobbyists have pushed for the bill’s passage, including drug companies and universities, which would all benefit from an increase in biomedical research funding.

A version of the bill that passed easily in Congress ended up dying in the Senate. The updated version, unveiled by House and Senate leaders over Thanksgiving weekend, has been altered to speed its passage through both houses.

Are Drugs Being Approved Fast Enough Now?

Dr. Michael Carome, director of Public Citizen Health Research Group, is concerned that, under the bill, drugs would be approved by the FDA even faster than they are today. And make no mistake about it, the agency already rushes medications to the market.

There are 4 possible channels for the FDA to expedite approval for promising new drugs for the treatment of serious or life-threatening medical conditions. These programs were intended to be an exception to the rule; however, a 2015 study in the BMJ showed that the programs have become the rule themselves, with a statistically significant increase of 2.6% per year over the last 20 years in the number of drugs qualifying for the FDA’s expedited drug development and approval programs.

The FDA can approve drugs based on the presumption that they work, but without proof of a long-term benefit. Researchers use a “surrogate endpoint,” such as a tumor’s response to a drug, even though that response might not translate into a longer or healthier life.

Most of these early approvals and developments rely on information gathered from early-stage trials that are generally small in size. The authors of the report wrote that “this trend is being driven by drugs that are not first in class and thus potentially less innovative.” In fact, according to Diana Zuckerman, head of the National Center for Health Research, 1 study revealed that 18 of the 36 the cancer drugs recently approved on the basis of surrogate endpoints failed to help people live longer. She says:

“What’s happening is we are flooding the market with medical products that don’t work very well, or we don’t know whether they work.”

Fast-Tracking Can Be A Problem

But fast-tracking drugs has cost people their lives in the past. The best example of this is Vioxx, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). During the review process for the pain reliever, an FDA medical officer looking at clinical trials noted a threefold increase in cardiovascular problems by people taking it, but could not definitively say Vioxx was the cause.

At the time, Celebrex, a similar drug, was already on the market. Yet, the FDA fast-tracked Vioxx with the goal of making a decision within 6 months.

Within 6 months, another Vioxx clinical trial showed that people taking the drug had double the number of heart attacks and strokes. Merck, the maker of Vioxx, took the medication off the market. A standard review of Vioxx – and the FDA’s insistence on better studies, earlier in the process – could have led the agency to restrict who used the drug or delay its arrival on the market. (emphasis added)

By the time Merck pulled Vioxx in 2004, more than 38,000 deaths related to its use had been reported, and as many as 25 million Americans had taken the drug. –source

21st Century Cures or Corruption?

Story at-a-glance

The only beneficiaries of the 21st Century Cures Act introduced in Congress last year are the drug, vaccine and medical device manufacturers, as this proposed legislation was designed to speed up experimental drug and vaccine approvals, cut corners on pre-licensure testing and narrow or eliminate informed consent protections in scientific research on humans.

The bill, which easily passed the House of Representatives last summer but got stalled in the Senate, earmarked more than $8 billion to NIH for new drug research while relaxing FDA safety oversight.

This year, Senators supporting passage of the Act cut it up into separate smaller bills to achieve their goal of fast tracking new products to market by avoiding drug, vaccine and medical device safety mechanisms. – source

** Note:  This legislation was passed in Dec of 2016.

I want to offer some other credible websites for the readers to be able to access for more information:

Stopcancerfund.org Why the 21st Century Cures Act Could be Disastrous for Medicine

Brethren, if you watch any amount of TV each day, certainly you have been bombarded with commercials about pharmaceutical drugs for every illness known to man.  Have you listened as they reveal the possible side effects of these drugs? Have you noticed that the person who rattles off the possible side effects is hard to understand because of the speeding up of their voice?  That is no accident. By law, they must tell the public what possible side effects may be associated with the drug.

Here are some of the “oh, by the way” side effects:

Stroke

Heart attack

Cancers

Immune system shutdowns

Death    (DEATH???)

And now they want to SPEED UP the process of approval of these lethal drugs?

Do your own research.  If your doctor is pushing this medicine or that medicine on you – first of all, look the medicine up. Secondly, research a natural way to treat your condition.  There are some drugs which are absolutely critical for survival i.e. Insulin.

It’s up to you.

You can fully trust your doctor, or you can be your own advocate and research for yourself!

How Can I Be Saved?
