A fortune teller cannot tell the future of a believer, because demons plan the life of an unbeliever. See, every unbeliever, when born, his life was planned by the demonic or by demons. There is a demon that is given charge over every born baby on planet earth, 'til redemption.

Preterism: Narrative-realism, Preterism, and the relevance of scripture
|
|
 |
by Andrew Perriman
I recently came across - I guess my ears were burning - a brief discussion initiated by Stephen Murray about the difference between a ’narrative-historical’ or ’narrative-realist’ approach to biblical interpretation and classic Preterism. The question is pertinent, so I will attempt here to outline what I understand by a narrative-realist hermeneutic and how it compares with Preterism, with some final thoughts on how a historical reading can still provide the basis for a dynamic and transformative dependence on the living Word of God.

News: Israel Policy Forum: Hebron Horros
|
|
 |
A second [Israeli] soldier wrote: “The thing that…affected me emotional...was when we had just arrived in Hebron. I was on guard duty, when suddenly, from one of the small streets, a settler girl shows up and shouts at me very urgently: ‘Soldier, soldier, come quickly, there's an Arab here who's attacking a girl.’ I got very alarmed and advanced with my weapon cocked. The scene that unfolded was of an Arab with his two children. He’s trying to protect them from another settler girl who's throwing stones at them. I blow my fuse and start screaming at her...She’s screaming back that they are Arabs and should be killed…and the father, poor guy, says, with helpless eyes, ‘We're used to it, we've been here a long time now, it's alright.’ "

News: Obama: Conservator in Chief
|
|
 |
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann
While the Democrats and Barack Obama won big yesterday, even coming close to a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, Obama will find their options substantially constrained by reality. Their handicap is the financial condition of the nation they'll inherit. Think of a trustee or conservator of a bankrupt company. Those who fear a radical Obama miss the point of the lack of maneuverability of the next president. Behind the mortgage crisis looms the credit-card crisis, the student-loan crisis and the car-loan crisis. Sweating this mess out of the system will take two years of zero growth or contraction.

Exclusive: Bringing the Bubble to the Bursting Point
|
|
|
by John Evans
In my last article, I offered an analysis of the causes of the current world financial crisis. I suggested that it needs to be understood in the context of a deeper spiritual crisis, but I focused my analysis upon the political and economic factors that have brought it to a head at this particular moment in time. I singled out two of these factors in particular: the determination of politicians affiliated with the Democratic Party to coerce and induce mortgage lenders into lowering their lending standards and the huge growth in the holding of dollar assets by foreign governments, businesses, and individuals. In this article, I expand these themes, with particular emphasis upon the role played by “liberal” politicians and pressure groups who have mastered the art of pursuing their objectives with other peoples’ money.

The Christian Right and the Palin Trap
|
|
|
COPret submitted: "As the election draws to a close and the rhetoric intensifies, I believe it necessary to sound a warning call to my Christian brothers who are voting for McCain precisely because of Sarah Palin. I believe this is a huge mistake. And while I must confess, I am entertained at the thought of the Christian Right getting the wool pulled over their eyes again, I believe the conscience of the Church is of much more importance. "

Exclusive: The Power of Biblical Social-ism
|
|
|
by Virgil Vaduva
The recent article by Jim Wallis on “Faith Priorities” really prompted me to think about some of the important issues raised by Wallis, which are really issues that come up often in every election cycle. They are especially highlighted this year because of the economic downturn the world is experiencing as a result of the melting financial markets. It is also a good time for me to yet again try to promote what I believe to be a Biblical way of living, the kind of active social living which Jesus would have liked his followers to pursue and promote.

Exclusive: A Brief Critical Analysis of Beyond Creation Science: Some Preliminary Concerns

by Samuel Frost
The following article will be a bit technical, but I will try to explain definitions as best I
can as I go along. This response to an issue that has been clouding up the horizon, in my
opinion, for some time and has not yet been adequately answered from a Biblical Preterist
perspective.

News: My Personal 'Faith Priorities' for this Election
|
|
|
by Jim Wallis
In 2004, several conservative Catholic Bishops and a few megachurch pastors like Rick Warren issued their list of "non-negotiables," which were intended to be a voter guide for their followers. All of them were relatively the same list of issues: abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, etc. None of them even included the word "poverty," only one example of the missing issues which are found quite clearly in the Bible. All of them were also relatively the same as official Republican Party Web sites of "non-negotiables." The political connections and commitments of the religious non-negotiable writers were quite clear.

Every so often, my interview with Brian McLaren makes it on some blog or website that has some bone to pick either with me or with McLaren himself. This time, it's a hit on our "dislike" of Israel: What is emerging in the modern Church? In America - historically Israel's greatest friend - there is a growing dislike of the Jewish state among certain Christian groups. This follows a downturn in interest in Bible prophecy teaching in U.S. churches.

Exclusive: The Birth of the Great Housing Bubble
|
|
|
by John Evans
About fifty-six years ago, when I was still an undergraduate student at the University of Texas, I decided to major in economics. In those days, the economics department at Texas was heavily oriented toward the study of economic history and was well-known for its strongly “institutional” bent and its benign view of leftist ideology. Its best known professor was Clarence Ayres, a man of immense learning and a great capacity to inspire awe in inquiring young minds, who seemed to feel that it was his special mission to disabuse students as of any notions about the existence of a benevolent deity. Appropriately, his heroes were such scholars as Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, and Charles Darwin. In my case, however, his message generated an intellectual resistance that has grown steadily stronger over the ensuing decades.
