Beating our Heads Against the Wall Again…
Americans typically assume that we can swallow poison and not be harmed. We swallow poison because it tastes good, and then wonder why we’re sick. I’m not talking about physical poison here. I’m referring to the harmful influences we allow in our lives, oftentimes without thinking. It’s as if people are oblivious to the fact that risky decisions can actually lead to unpleasant outcomes. Perhaps the time is ripe to understand the consequences.
Some Ways that Americans Swallow Poison
People watch movies and television containing horror, sexual immorality, and the depiction of every kind of deceit imaginable. Yet the things we see and experience cause rewiring of the brain. As memories are formed in our brains, our personhood changes ever so subtly. Do we know for sure that watching hours of sitcoms and soaps full of stinging putdowns and zingers doesn’t taint our attitudes towards others? Why are we so unconcerned, that we glibly assume the risk? How can we be sure that the insane mass-murderer didn’t become insane from the music and movies he chose to pump into his brain? (more…)

Assemblies of God vs. Christianity, Part 6
(see entire series)
Here is some online documentation about our court case, including the latest opinion from the Michigan Supreme Court. Please also read my comments further below in this post to see how the courts made the wrong decision by overlooking key evidence. I have also documented how the Assemblies of God changed their constitution and bylaws while this case was in litigation, and how the Assemblies of God deceifully submitted their updated constitution and bylaws as evidence which the courts used in deciding the case. In future posts I will document other details which further expose the deceit of the Michigan District of the Assemblies of God, as well as things the Michigan courts have overlooked in deciding the case.
ONLINE DOCUMENTATION:
2.a.: First appeal timeline. Opinion from first appeal 07 19 2007.
2.b. Second appeal timeline. Opinion from second appeal 06 18 2009.
3. California case where AOG lost because California uses neutral principles approach.
MY COMMENTS: (Martin Luther mode ON)
The Michigan Court opinions prefer and quote the Assemblies of God (AG) constitution/bylaws (c/b) over the local church’s c/b, despite the following facts: (more…)

Assemblies of God vs. Christianity, Part 5
(see entire series)
Dear friends,
The property and assets of the church I attend (Gospel Lighthouse) is being taken over by the Michigan District of the Assemblies of God (AOG), who sued us for the property after we left the denomination in 2004. Yesterday the Michigan Court of Appeals (COA) ruled in favor of the Assemblies of God. Their unpublished opinion was placed on the internet on Thursday, and affirmed the lower court’s decision that the Assemblies of God is hierarchical over our local congregation. The court is basically ruling that the AOG Michigan District owns the property of Gospel Lighthouse. (more…)

Assemblies of God vs. Christianity, Part 4
(see entire series)
UPDATE: Case is scheduled to come before the Michigan Court of Appeals on Wed, Jun 3, 2009.
BACKGROUND: The Assemblies of God, Michigan District has sued a small church for its property of 25 years, despite never having contributed a dime for the property’s purchase or upkeep. Why? Because the church decided to break its ties with the AOG fellowship of churches. In its legal briefs, the AOG Michigan District claims the AOG is hierarchical, and therefore the local church forfeits all its rights after voluntarily joining the AOG. The church disagrees. The legal battle was originally won by the church, but the AOG Michigan District appealed to Michigan Court of Appeals. The Appeals Court sent the case back down for a determination of whether AOG is hierarchical. The local judge ignored the facts and made a decision in favor of AOG Michigan District (probably based on his own church affiliation, which is hierarchical). The church appealed. Now their day in court is scheduled for June 2009. (more…)

You can see Chris Coleman mowing his yard from the air. Go to maps.live.com, search for Chris Coleman’s address (2854 Robert Drive, columbia, IL), then click on ‘Bird’s Eye’ view and zoom in. Then hit one of the ‘Rotate’ buttons. In two views, you’ll see the family trampoline next to the house, and Chris Coleman in the back yard mowing. In the other two views, you’ll see the trampoline out in the middle of the yard after Chris had finished mowing the yard. In one of these views, Chris is on the front driveway washing it down with a hose. Here’s a direct link.

Why Many Evolutionists Will Never Believe… October 15, 2008

An internet blog comment yesterday reads:
I am now making the offer of 100 gazillionmilliontrillion dollars and a steak to one single person or group to definitively prove the existence of a creator God or creation at all.
The ground:
- Must be physical proof that science will never be able to refute.
- Must be proof that logic cannot defy.
- Must have God itself present said proof.By 8bithero on October 14, 2008 8:33 PM
At first glance, it seems like an innocent question. But this is like saying, “I will only believe in God if he exists on a playing field of my own definition. Here’s the playing field: Referencing only physical proof, prove the supernatural exists.” But the logic is skewed. The logic problem is clearly seen when using the same argument in the other direction: “Referencing only the supernatural, prove the physical universe exists.” Essentially we’ve carefully padded our challenge against failure by insisting up front that all evidence to the contrary be considered invalid. The challenge boils down to: “Without reference to the supernatural, prove supernatural reality exists,” and is akin to saying “Without reference to presently observable physical proof, prove physical reality exists.” (more…)

Private Profits and Social Losses October 6, 2008

I think this is an interesting article. The tack that our country has taken, to privatize profits yet socialize losses, puts the burden for someone else’s mistakes squarely on the shoulders of you the taxpayer. Now that bank CEOs can no longer pay for their plush offices with remote-controlled La-Z-Boy, now I must make the La-Z-Boy payments myself. But I’m still not allowed to sit in the chair and enjoy its benefits. Yet when that CEO makes a good decision and makes a profit, he doesn’t have to share it with me – he gets to keep it all to himself and his company. So at its core, this is Middle-Ages Feudalism, where us peasants (American Middle Class) have no choice but to pay to insure the lifestyles of the rich and famous. I agree that it is difficult to gauge the proper balance of government regulation of economic industries. But on the other token, I’m against socialized welfare to cover other people’s bad decisions. It just perpetuates the myth that many Americans operate in…that we can swallow poison and not be harmed. How do Americans swallow poison? Here are some of the ways. (more…)
