Satan and the Demonic Wickedness of “Human Rights”

The following is excerpted from “Catholic Activist ‘Banned for Life,’” LifeSiteNews, Dec. 13, 2007)

“The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission’s decision to impose a ‘lifetime’ ban on a local Catholic’s freedom to publicly criticise homosexuality, was upheld this week in its entirety by Saskatchewan Court of Queens Bench. Bill Whatcott, a licensed practical nurse who lives in Saskatchewan, is a campaigner against the homosexual political movement that is sweeping the Canadian legal system. In 2006, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission (SHRC) ordered Whatcott to pay $17,500 Cn. to four complainants who complained that their ‘feelings’ and ‘self-respect’ were ‘injured’ by Whatcott’s pamphlets denouncing the ‘gay lifestyle’ as immoral and dangerous. Whatcott says he was fined for his pamphlets that used ‘verbatim’ a text from a classified personal advertisement in a local homosexual publication that ran, ‘Man seeking boys…. age not so relevant.’ Canadians concerned about what they see as the erosion of basic democratic freedoms are calling for a stop to the extra-judicial powers of the Human Rights Commissions in which the usual rules for due process of law do not apply. Ottawa Citizen columnist David Warren blasted the Human Rights Tribunals, calling them ‘kangaroo courts’ and ‘star chambers’ with ‘quasi-legal powers that should be offensive to the citizens of any free country… in which the defendant’s right to due process is withdrawn.’ He says, ‘They reach judgments on the basis of no fixed law,’ and, ‘the process is the punishment for simply by agreeing to hear a case, they tie up the defendant in bureaucracy and paperwork, and bleed him for the cost of lawyers, while the person who brings the complaint, however frivolous, stands to lose nothing.’ Conservatives in Canada are supporting a petition, addressed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, to abolish or at least curtail the powers of the Human Rights Commissions. The petition to stop the Human Rights Commissions is located [here].”

The Idea of “Human Rights” is as godless as it gets these days. The very concept draws to mind images of a certain group of humans deciding whether or not another human or group of humans actually has the right to life and liberty and justice. These Human Rights Commissions continue, on a daily basis, to show themselves to be tools of Satan and tools of Humanities own wicked pride and lust for power and the desire to suppress anything that opposes their own way of life.

One day God will avenge all that has been done wrong, either now, through Jesus’ eschatological death on the cross, or in the future, through his final judgment of the hearts of men on the Last Day. But until all things are complete, let us pray that God will right these wrongs before our very eyes. Let us pray that this Human Rights Commission will have its “rights” of abuse and power mongering stripped from it and burned in the fire. It makes me so sad and angry to see what this commission has done to a man who was simply seeking to tell homosexuals that they are sinners and in need of Jesus’ saving power and love.

May God vindicate his people and may the wicked be thrown down from their lofty powers of ‘deity’ and vainglory!

Wade Burleson Censured

Critic Censured

Above you will find the link to the recent post by Christianity Today on this issue. Below you will find Wade’s response last month regarding the censure:

I Support Lottie Moon, the IMB and the SBC

I have followed this whole debacle since the first blogging incedent occured with Wade and the IMB Trustee Board. I cannot say how upset and dis-heartened I am to find out about this most recent attempt to censure Pastor Burleson. As of today, I can tell you that you should continue to support the IMB if you currently do, but that you should seriously consider protesting the action of the trustee board by letter or phone call. If the trustee board continues to affect bad policies on the IMB and it’s missionaries, I’m not sure what should be done except to say that those trustees should be gagged and bagged and tossed out for the sake of God’s Kingdom. Ultimately it is up to the SBC messenger to deal with these problems at the yearly SBC meeting. I just don’t know if that is going to happen any time soon.

Pray for the IMB Board of Trustees and pray that they will stop this non-sense!

Toronto: Muslim father killed daughter for not wearing hijab

This story goes to prove exactly what I wanted to point out in my last podcast about the many Muslim families in the world today who believe that death is a suitable punishment for their children who commit sin against Allah and their own families.

This is all very tragic, but we must not think that this was merely one man’s evil. This is what Islam teaches throughout many parts of the world. This was merely a sanctioned “death” that many Muslims would approve of, given the daughters rebellion against her family and Allah. But thankfully, this father will be tried in a court of non-Muslim law and hopefully punished in a just way.

Below is the video news report of the murder. But before you view it, image this… what if Canada was one day run by Muslim political leaders and Muslim judges sat on the bench. Would this man be convicted of Murder?

No, he would not…

Intro to Islam

James White has been posting his new video series about Islam on YouTube. This is an excellent introduction regarding what Muslims believe about their own religion, as well as Christianity. I encourage you to watch these three 8 minute videos and learn something about this fast growing religion, especially if you haven’t studied before now. Here are the 3 videos Dr. White has posted so far…

Georgia Baptist Convention calls bloggers to repent

Thanks to James Grant for alerting me to this…

A Resolution on Blogging

James points to an article by Timmy Brister in response to this resolution. I have grown up in the Southern Baptist Convention and it is the only church denomination that I have know and been a member of throughout my life. I thought that the various state conventions condemning alcohol was bad enough, but this generalization about blogging is just too much. The SBC has way too many people in it who are just not getting things right and it may just be a whole generation away before things start to change for the better. Only God knows.

In Christ and In Defense of the Faith,

The FIRST Podcast!

Well, I’ve thought long and hard about this, and after much thought and finally some productive effort… I’m please to present to you my first, official podcast for In Defense of the Faith Apologetic Ministry!

I hope you find it informative, challenging and enjoyable to listen to. May God bless you as you listen and please do send me your feedback.

The second podcast will be completed soon with some new changes and a little clearer structure to the program. The podcast will typically last 15 minutes and will include 2 to 3 sections. I will reveal that in the second podcast. But please don’t hesitate to offer suggestions.

Also, if you would like to hear me discuss a particular issue, please E-mail me (glenn at indefenseofthefaith dot org) or leave a comment below.

Thanks and enjoy the show!

Introduction and Islam

Population decline and the end the non-Muslim world

Article: How to Take the Chill Out of Demographic Winter

Related to my previous post about Islam and a peaceful takeover, this article was passed along to me by my friend, Isaac Sumner. It details the global situation in which we are currently living in, along with the nature of Islam’s population expansion in various parts of Europe. Over the years I’ve read about many of these things, but I have not found an article, until now, that gives a comprehensive picture of what is taking place. I’m re-posting the article below in case the link above ever changes or gets taken away: Continue reading Population decline and the end the non-Muslim world
