When Tolerance Isn’t Enough

And acceptance is merely the least despicable form of that phobia

Tolerant or accepting — which are you when it comes to your fears?

Acceptance or tolerance — to which form of coexistence do you aspire in relating to your phobias and hang-ups?

What if it has to do with those things which you believe to be wrong? (Sinful, you know.)

This is what got me going on that…

“Homophobia” is an interesting term. It is an entire lecture in a word.

I wonder if the Riddle would employ the same litmus test to society’s attitudes about Christians. It would be nice to feel a little support, admiration, appreciation, and nurturance. But failing that, I would settle for some tolerance.

Here, I propose a very simple test to “determine” whether or not you are consistent.

Where do you draw the line?

  • Is homosexuality on your side of that line?
  • Is homosexuality-is-sin on your side of the line?

Putin Offer: Russian Troops on Golan Heights

Mr. Netanyahu, better turn this one down quickly and emphatically. This can't be good for Israel.

Mr. Netanyahu, better that he be unhappy!

With a hat tip to Joel C. Rosenberg . . .

Vladimir Putin, the Czar of Russia, has offered to put Russian troops on the Golan Heights — the mountain range controlled by Israel but claimed by Syria — to serve as U.N. peacekeepers between Syria and Israel, now that the government of Austria has decided withdraw its participation in the peacekeeping force.Putin and Netanyahu.

Putin has spoken directly by phone to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the offer, and presumably would not have made it without first discussing the idea with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

If both sides agree, this would put armed Russian soldiers on the northern mountains of Israel for the first time in the modern history of the State of Israel.

The move might also have prophetic significance.

BREAKING: Putin offers to put Russian troops on the Golan Heights

Does Israel need armed Russian troops looking down on them from the Golan?

Would a “UN” Russian beachhead like that be a good deal for Israel?

I answer both negatively.

As Mark Roth said, he who dances with a bear gets eaten. 😯 Or was it, only dunces dance with bears? Both.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

And for ours, as we rush headlong to Armageddon.

PS: In case you didn’t know, Joel C. Rosenberg has written some pretty interesting books, including the recently released Damascus Countdown.

Ken Miller Sentencing Day

What will Judge Sessions say to Ken Miller . . . and about him?

Today is the day Kenneth Miller is to be sentenced.

For what again?

When he stands before Judge Sessions in about four hours, he will be there as one who before God committed no crime. (Yes, I know; that’s my opinion.)

Though I am extremely interested in knowing what sentence Judge Sessions will impose, I am even more interested in knowing what he will have to say about Ken and to him.

I was going to post this yesterday morning, but computer matters and church responsibilities prevented me from doing so. I was free again last night, but by then I was undisposed. 🙂 So, in case you haven’t seen this story elsewhere, here you go… Read it all

Above all, love God!
