The Story Of Creation

Evidence Jesus Was Gay Or At The Very Least, Bi-Sexual. However, There Is No Evidence He Like Women So He Was Likely Gay

Secret Gospel Of Mark

Many ancient versions of Mark, written in the original Greek, have survived to the present day . No two agree perfectly in their wording ( I guess his word isn’t so perfect ). Usually, the differences are trivial and do not impact our understanding of Jesus’ personality , messages, and ministry. However, some do. For example, consider Mark 1:41 — the passage where a leper approached Jesus begging to be healed. Some of the earliest manuscripts say that Jesus became angry or indignant at the leper’s intrusion. Later copies indicate that Jesus showed compassion or pity to the leper. Usually, Bible translators consider the earliest manuscripts to be the most accurate, because they are less removed from the original autographs. Thus, there was less opportunity for copyists to alter the original text. But in many cases, like the King James Version, the New International Version, and many others, ₁ the translators followed the later, apparently incorrect, manuscripts, and describe Jesus as reacting with compassion and pity, rather than with indignation and anger.

Theologian Morton Smith discovered a copy of an ancient letter in a monastery near Jerusalem in the 1940s. The original letter was apparently written by Clement of Alexandria (circa 150-213 CE).  It referred to three versions of the Gospel of Mark circulating during the second century CE:

	A full version “….for those who are advancing with respect to knowledge,” and
	A shorter version for the common believers who were new to Christianity.
	A forgery based on the full version which was circulated by a Christian group in the second century.

The shorter version is like the text of the Gospel that we now have in the Bible.  The full version is often referred to as the “Secret Gospel of Mark: ” Two of the fragments which were quoted in the letter  from the full version of Mark are quite controversial . One refers to Jesus spending the night with a near-naked man. Another passage refers to “the young man whom Jesus loved.“

This document was found by Prof. Morton Smith in 1958 at the Mar Saba monastery, southeast of Jerusalem. In the document, authoritatively attributed to Clement of Alexandria, a “Secret Gospel of Mark” is mentioned. Clement presents fragments from the text of this secret gospel which he claims is in the custody of the Church in Alexandria, but which is kept secret. Perhaps the most important issue confirmed by this letter is the fact that in Clement’s time “hierophantic teachings of the Lord” and Gospel texts now lost were still transmitted within the church to a select group of Christians. Fragments attributed to the Secret Gospel of Mark are shown below in italics.

“And they come into Bethany. And a certain woman whose brother had died was there. And, coming, she prostrated herself before Jesus and says to him, “son of David, have mercy on me”. But the disciples rebuked her. And Jesus, being angered , went off with her into the garden where the tomb was, and straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand. But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus thaught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan.”

In God We Trust: Sarah Palin Suggests Coin Conspiracy In Wisconsin Speech

Sarah Palin didn’t allow press at her speech Friday at a Wisconsin Right to Life fundraising banquet, and attendees were barred from bringing cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind. But Politico managed to get a few reporters in to hear the former Alaska governor again raise the specter of death panels and claim an anti-Christian conspiracy in the redesign of U.S. coins.

While Palin didn’t use the phrase “death panels,” she implied that rationed care would lead to elderly or disabled people being denied care to save money.

“What may they feel about an elderly person who doesn’t have a whole lot of productive years left,” Palin asked the audience of about 5,000. (Tickets were $30 each.) “In order to save government money, government health care has to be rationed… [so] then this elderly person that perhaps could be seen as costing taxpayers to pay for a non-productive life? Do you think our elderly will be first in line for limited health care?”

Palin made the “death panel” charge explicitly in a Facebook post the following day. “We had been told there were no “death panels” in the bill either,” she wrote. “But look closely at the provision mandating bureaucratic panels that will be calling the shots regarding who will receive government health care.”

In Wisconsin, Palin also expressed fear over the moving of “In God We Trust” to the edge of American coins.

She might not realize that ‘In God We Trust’ first appeared on U.S. coins after April 22, 1864, when Congress passed an act authorizing the coinage of a 2-cent piece bearing this motto. Thereafter,Congress extended its use to other coins.  On July 30, 1956, it became the national motto.  Basically, not something our founding fathers put on money and something Christians wanted on the money.  I guess if we can put God (meaning the Christian God) we should put Allah, and Krishna and Buddha on other coins and bills?  Seems fair to me since we have many faiths in our country.  I think that would be the best solution, all or none.

Sarah Palin seems to get the freaks.  I guess if we get someone out there to say Jesus himself was gay, provide the evidence we have and then push for a Jesus bill that will allows gays to marry, that person would get just as much attention as Sarah.  Pathetic.

Yeah, we have more proof that if Jesus was real that he was likely gay or bi-sexual than Christian have to prove their God is real and therefore no other version is real.

Fox Opinion News: Murdoch The Classy Old Christian Republican Witnessing For Christ

Murdoch: Glenn Beck Was ‘Right’ To Say Obama Is ‘A Racist’ With ‘A Deep-Seated Hatred For White People’

After President Obama inserted himself into the July spat between Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Officer Jim Crowley, Glenn Beck infamously declared on Fox & Friends that Obama “exposed himself” with the incident “as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or white culture.” Challenged by co-host Brian Kilmeade, Beck claimed that he was “not saying that he doesn’t like white people,” just that he’s a “racist.” Beck’s comments led to a boycott of his program by Color for Change, which has resulted in 81 companies refusing to advertise on his show.

In an interview with Sky News Australia last week, Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News’ parent company, stood by Beck. Though he claimed that Beck probably shouldn’t have said such a thing, Murdoch concluded that “if you actually assess what he was talking about, he was right”:

SPEERS: The Glenn Beck, who you mentioned, has called Barack Obama a racist and he helped organize a protest against him. Others on Fox have likened him to Stalin. Is that defensible?

MURDOCH: No, no, no, not Stalin, I don’t think. I don’t know who that, not one of our people. On the racist thing, that caused a grilling. But he did make a very racist comment. Ahhh…about, you know, blacks and whites and so on, and which he said in his campaign he would be completely above. And um, that was something which perhaps shouldn’t have been said about the President, but if you actually assess what he was talking about, he was right.

Murdoch apparently isn’t very familiar with the content of the network he owns. NumerousFox News personalities, including Glenn Beck, have compared Obama and members of his administration to Stalin.

Earlier in the interview, Sky News political editor David Speers asked Murdoch if “people who switch on Fox News know when they’re getting news and when they’re getting opinion.” “Oh, absolutely,” replied Murdoch, pointing to Glenn Beck at 5 p.m. and Sean Hannity, “a pretty academic conservative,” at 9 p.m. as the only examples of the network’s opinion programming. But as Jon Stewart pointed out last month, Fox only considers its programming to be news from “9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. on weekdays.” “The only people you ever think about when you think about Fox News are not news,” said Stewart. “They’re Fox opiniotainment.”

More Christian Shit

Westboro Baptist Church Organizes Homophobic Anti-Obama Protest Outside Sasha And Malia’s School

 

Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church is a hate group that goes around the country staging anti-gay rallies at some of the most inappropriate places (e.g. the funerals of former White House press secretary Tony Snow, victims of the Minneapolis bridge collapse, and U.S. troops) with messages like “Thank God For AIDS” and “God Hates Fags.”

This week, they’re bringing their hateful message to children in Washington, DC, planning pickets at a handful of local schools. This morning, they showed up outside of Sidwell Friends, the school that Sasha and Malia Obama attend. On Twitter, Megan Phelps-Roper — one of Fred Phelps’ grandchildren — posted a picture of the protest:

 

 

Washington Post education reporter Michael Birnbaum said that he spent the morning at the protest, and MSNBC host David Shuster wrote, “Hopefully, some of the more rational conservatives/republicans will condemn this stuff today. It was beyond the pale.” ThinkProgress contacted Sidwell for more details on the protest and are awaiting a response.

 

In the past, extreme anti-choice activist Randall Terry has also targeted the Obama children’s school, saying, “We will continue to show images of aborted babies at high schools, no matter what the cost.”

 

UPDATE Ellis Turner, the associate head of Sidwell, told ThinkProgress that students and faculty members wearing rainbow colors staged a counter-protest. They held a banner with the Quaker phrase, “There is that of God in everyone” (seen in the background of the picture above). Turner said that none of the protesters attempted to come into the school. Joann Weiner at Politics Daily has more details.

 

Perform Any Immoral Act As Republican, Claim You Are Doing God’s Work And It Is OK?

Goldman Sachs CEO says he’s ‘doing God’s work,’ rejects the idea that Goldman profits from gov’t support.

 

You need a war based on lies?  Tell them you are on a mission from God.  Need to torture and murder in that war while you send Americans to their death?  Tell them “God agreed”.  Want to commit adultery?  Tell them God has a plan for you and it is your path to growth.  Pathetic Christian Republican Hypocrites destroying our country in the name of God.

Last quarter, Wall Street investment bank Goldman Sachs made a$3.19 billion profit, and according to some estimates, the firm will set aside $21.9 billion for compensation this year. In an interview with London’s Sunday Times, Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein said that the firm is serving an important “social purpose” by helping companies grow, and denied the idea that Goldman is only able to make record profits thanks to government support:

Blankfein dismisses any suggestion that Goldman needed to be bailed out, and, by extension, rejects any notion that the firm is now profiting from public support. Sure, he took $10 billion from Washington’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (Tarp). But the bank has since repaid the cash, with healthy interest — 23%. Goldman also benefited from the federal bail-out of the huge US insurance firm AIG. Goldman had bought $20 billion worth of insurance from AIG and received billions of dollars — perhaps as much as $13 billion — when Washington pumped $90 billion into the stricken giant. But Blankfein insists Goldman was “hedged” against any AIG losses, in the best possible way — with cash.

Of course, Goldman’s profits have been driven in large part by its access to cheap federal dollars, and the firm may have gone under were it not for its status as a “too big to fail” firm. But Blankfein told the Times that he is just a banker “doing God’s work.” And evidently God’s work — bonuses and all — cannot be questioned.

Noah’s Ark Found?

I was watching the history channel tonight.  It was interesting to watch religious types (Christians) searching for Noah’s Ark.  These people claimed to have found it but their claims kept being proven wrong.  It was interesting when something was shown to be impossible, they would suddenly discover another artifact that they claimed would suddenly make it all possible again.  Then scientist would have to demonstrate the obvious and explain that a specific type of rock they claimed was used to balance the ship couldn’t have come from the region where the ark was built.  But if the Christians had looked around the area where they found the large stones, they would have noticed those same types of rocks were common.

It is truly hilarious to watch them continue to imagine what they wanted just so they could be right about there being a Noah’s Ark.  One guy was even ready to publish his findings that he found the Ark.  He said he had petrified wood from the Ark.  Somehow, his wood was petrified in a record time frame so then he came up with an excuse to say why it was true.  So, the scientist tested his “petrified” wood and it was proven that it was not petrified wood at all.   A common rock in the area.

Great stuff to watch.  Evidence does’t seem to matter if you want to believe something.  These guys searching were proof that anything can be claimed and in their minds suddenly true.

The guy searching for stones that would keep the Ark from tipping over found these large stones.  After he found them he said; “it is amazing that Noah used this type of technology in those days”.  Suddenly, he found some large stones, immediately makes the claim that it was part of Noah’s Ark.  Yet he hadn’t proven that he found the Ark yet.  Kind of like claiming their God is true and then claiming all the things that he did or wants or wants us to do.

These people actually believed it, without even taking any time to verify any of it.  Of course, it was clearly shown to all be false as most of us would expect.

 

Funny how people will believe what they want to believe.  Even if it is impossible.

The Boy Jesus Loved/Knew? (Secret Gospel Of Mark)

Proof That Christian Republicans Go Against God’s Plan (Obama)

Watch this folks!  It is unlikely that a Christian will want to debate this topic.  Because they hate when they are exposed for hypocrites.  For doing the opposite of what their God planned.  They want Obama to fail.  We have witnessed this on our televisions, witnessed Fox News personalities state they want Obama to fail.  Witnessed Conservatives Republicans state they want Obama to fail.  We witnessed conservatives clap and cheer when Chicago lost the bid for the olympics.  Many of us have received emails from Christian Conservatives full of racists comments and graphics/pictures/videos.  They have worked their butts off to disrupt and destroy anything that Obama supports.  Clearly, they care only that he fails and at the expense of many losing a chance to have health care coverage.

What is so important about this?  Because they are exposed by their God’s word.

What Christians don’t want to debate is that Scriptures tells us that God put Obama into power.  God established Obama as the president and Christians seem to think God fcuked up.  By demonizing Obama they are demonizing their own God’s judgment, his plan, his decisions.  Why should anyone else give a shit about what God wants if his own followers don’t follow him?

Romans 13:1-7
“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

The Christian Conservatives make all kinds of excuses for why health care reform is the wrong thing to support.  Helping fellow Americans that need health care coverage and knowing that without it, some WILL die, many WILL suffer…yet they are against it.  They don’t want to spend a dime on it.  However, if you need them to spend a trillion or more on a war, they will vote for it, support it, help you lie to get it, excuses the lies and support the torture used during it.

Exodus 22:28
“Do not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.”

Like I have written and proven before, Christian don’t care what they God states.  They care that Obama is destroyed.  Many because he is black and many because they feel he doesn’t believe like them and others because he is a liberal.

What don’t Christians understand about their God’s word?  God put Obama in power, it is what God wanted and they don’t seem to like what God wanted.

“God is operating ALL in all” (I Cor. 12:6)

“Yet ALL is of God” (II Cor. 5:18)

That includes putting Obama in power!

“For OF Him, and THROUGH Him, and TO Him, are ALL THINGS…” (Rom. 11:36).

That includes putting Obama into the seat of power over America.  Christians should realize this is what God wants and they should love it, work to help him and stop being racists.

“To every thing there is a season [appointed time],and a time to every purpose [matter or event] under the heaven” (Ecc. 3:1).

“…for He has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work…” (The New Revised Standard Version).

“For He has set a season for every event and for every deed…” (The Concordant Literal Old Testament).

Christians, what don’t you understand about what your God has done, your God established, your God planned?  You are all being a witness against God, against Jesus Christ.  God planned it all, it is ALL “according to God’s Will”.

Christian Conservatives are telling God that he is wrong, that he doesn’t know how to make the right decision for his people.

Watch The Republican Obstruction, Attempt To Kill Free Speach

Watch the Republican Christian behavior.  Like children that are upset that they don’t get their way.  Upset that another party is in control so they whine and play games.  I am thankful that they continue to expose their character, their Christian ways that supported wars based on lies, that brought America to a new low with support and excuses for torture, that destroyed our economy under their Christian leadership with a trillion plus dollar war while they now play games to defeat health care reform.  They spend a trillion on war, to kill and torture and send Americans to their death based on lies but they will not spend a dime to help 50 million Americans that are uninsured or help other Americans obtain more affordable rates.

The Christian Way and their Witnessing for Christ demonstrates they are more like the Character of Satan.

Teach the next generation they are not the side to trust.  They are the side of hate, fear, anger and division.  The side that truly works to destroy America.
