POPSPope Reasserts Catholic Supremacy Over Protestants His Unholiness reasserts the pre-Reformation, tyrannical and usurping tradition of Papal authority and Roman Catholic supremacy as if Jesus Christ himself taught or authorized his ceremonial priest-craft and Latin Mass ( which is idolatry ), where his Blasphemy, through waving his magic wand and reciting Latin formula ( hocus pocus ) is able to (if you believe this) transform (transubstantiation) mere wafers of bread ("heil presto"--poof!) into the "body of Christ"! Jesus and the apostles never taught such superstition (which hails from Roman paganism, mixed well in its holidays and ecclesiastical hierarchy). The Pope is following the false teaching of Simon Magus, the sorcerer, instead of Simon Peter the apostle. Ritual, ceremony, miters, crosses, candles, pilgrimages, liturgies, and shepherd staffs all make a show of religion (tracing back to Babylonian religions) contrary to the writings of the new testament.

POPSSmall Steps Are a Start No one has ever suggested that I am a friend of religion. Yet, for positive progress in the Middle East it apparently needs people that share that mindset to take a positive approach to deal with this issue.

POPSAfter Murder Attempt, New Testaments Burnt So it's not just Christians and Muslims that the Zionists hate. Jew baiting takes on a whole different meaning with these extreme fascist youths more reminiscent of Nazis that peaceful religious Jews. How unsure they must be of their position and faith that they behave like TERRORISTS. These terrorists demonstrate very little respect for the Christian Bible. What do the Christian Zionists have to say? Is anyone persecuting them?

POPSWith Friends like these, who needs Enemies? There's a logic that bin Laden needed Bush like Bush needed bin Laden. One would expire without the other. Could the same be true for this gang. Do the Zionists need the zealot Christian fundamentalist Christian evangelists like Hagee in the same way? Certainly "Jews defend Hagee's words" would seem to prove it. "Viewing Hitler as acting completely outside of God's plan is to suggest that God was powerless to stop the Holocaust, a position quite unacceptable to any religious Jew or Christian," said Orthodox Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg raises a few questions for me also. Anyone with any thoughts that would be more understanding than mine?

POPSOrthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments. What next? Wonder how this went down with the Christian Zionist fundamentalists? Are they in rapture over the burning of the new testaments? So your welcome to boast the Zionist economy but don't bring your bible. So now we have the torture, the concentration camps, the assassinations, the ethnic cleansing, the Gaza prison, the slow starvation, the economic strangulation, the racism, the Arab holocaust to match the Nakba of 60 years ago, and on and on. And all with America's blessing. What next? Burning the Christians?

POPSAuthor Chopra creates new Jesus Number three on the New York Times best seller list does not surprise me. People would much rather believe all these convoluted offerings rather than the truth that a loving God actually cared enough about our pitiful selfs that He sent His only Son to die so that we might live. Now I do not know about you but my best intentions has never led me anywhere but to despair. No matter how hard I tried I could never measure up to be GOOD enough by the so called enlightened crowd so I guess I would be doomed to forever live in despair save for the Lord Jesus Christ who came into my life and rescued me from my despair. Now I know who I belong to and therefore I am no longer looking to the enlightened crowd for my self worth. Perhaps Chopra and all his adherents would be better served to read the 'Good Book'.

POPSChristians Mourn Hizbollah Murder Shehadeh, 45, was open to rival theological thought as he always carried a card with a Koranic verse on one side and a picture of the Virgin Mary and Jesus on the other. Yet it was mostly his crusading against corruption in the PA and Fatah as well as his support for locals that won Christian support. The reason he was popular was because he presented a symbol of those individuals who were engaging in resistance,' Awad said. 'People are seeing that Hizbollah has done what others have failed to do either by military operations or negotiations. If Fatah had been able to achieve real steps through negotiations, people would be following that and be feeling more proud of it and more supportive of it,' ...Guardian

POPSWhere Would Jesus Drill? "It is widely believed among evangelical Christians (and some Orthodox Jews) that Scripture foretells a massive oil find in the Holy Land; prophecy buffs are especially captivated by a passage in Ezekiel that says Armageddon will be triggered by a band of nations—Russia, Iran, and a confederacy of Arab countries are most often named as the likely suspects—attacking Israel to "take a great spoil." Their faith has spurred a sprawling, decades-long treasure hunt. At least 10 companies or individuals have searched for oil in Israel using biblical clues. So far, few of the more than 400 wells drilled there have turned up commercial quantities of oil and gas. But the willingness of ordinary churchgoers to invest their life savings has kept the ventures going—and made the business rich terrain for a bevy of false prophets, penny-stock hustlers, and con men."

POPSAnti-Zionist Jews Protest Israel ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS will never show you this. The network media executives, mostly Jewish, are Zionists. The most persecuted are the Torah Jews that are against Israel and Zionism and even have burned Israeli flags in protest. Now if Arabs or Christians did this (as Ahmadinejad of Iran protests Israel) they would be called anti-semitic (the ADL's invented label) but clearly this is not the case.

POPSIncreased Hostility to Christians from Zionists
"Palestinian Christian leaders have sensed increased hostility toward their ministries and institutions on the part of Israeli authorities and Jewish settlers. During Holy Week 1990, militant settlers took over St. John’s Orthodox Hospice, adjacent to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, with the support and protection of Israeli police. The Israeli government initially denies its involvement until Israeli journalist reported that the Housing Ministry, directed by David Levy (now the foreign minister) had secretly channeled $1.9 million from government funds to help underwrite the venture. This fact has now been confirmed, as has the fact that an additional $2.2 million was raised, and was laundered through a Panamanian bank. Such government-sanctioned illegalities directed against the Christian community leave a bitter taste for Palestinian Christians. Meanwhile, the settlers remain in the building, whey they are reconstructing, while the case enters a second year of legal delays."

POPSPalestine: how a battle for land became religious Article is brief and needs reading in its entirety to consider its overview of how a minority of religionists have turned a secular struggle into a religious one, a trend which is not completed but, the author feels, becoming increasingly dangerous.

POPSBill Gates: Satanist In Sheep's Clothes? One more quote I'd like to include, "I prided myself on having escaped the banker's Communist hoax (http://www.savethemales.ca/160303.html) but I realize now that Communism was the "plan" for my parent's generation. I fell hook-line-and-sinker for the "New Age", which was aimed at my generation. It is exactly like Communism, appealing to our idealism, but having an insidious hidden agenda." Have you ever wonder if your thoughts are actually your own thoughts or ones preprogrammed to be their by the ruling elite?

POPSBob Dylan Reaffirms His Place in the Tribe
some of the comments appear on this page: Comments ClarityJoe | 9/28/2007, 5:46 am EST Yea for Bob! I am not sure what the commotion is all about. He is being no different than Jesus and every disciple/apostle. They when to Temple every Shabbat(Saturday), every Yom Kippur, Succot, Passover, and Shavout as they were supposed to do. Bob hopefully will become even more like Jesus and the discipes/apostles and become Orthodox Torah keepers as it says Mat:5:18-20 and Acts 21:20. This would be fantastic, Go get-em Bob! JEFFREY TOBIAS | 9/28/2007, 4:58 am EST BOB,YOU PICKED A GREAT OUTREACH PROGRAM,AND SHUL,WELCOME ABOARD. Ch Willie | 9/25/2007, 10:30 pm EST I hate it when Bob gets religious. Just means that he’s never going to give us the kind of observations on religion that can only come from someone stepping out of it and looking back in… A Jew | 9/25/2007, 8:51 pm EST Welcome home Bob.

POPSView from America: CNN's false symmetry Participants of each of the 3 major religions of the world have, in the past, been responsible for horrible things in the name of their Faith. I say that those who did these things were not orthodox representatives of their Faith. But to, in this time of history, make all 3 equally liable for the horror that is going on in the world is a lie...and that is what this series attempted to do. Paint them all with the same murderous, extremist brush. And the world ate it up.

POPSTV airing for Islam's story of Christ I have not problem with this. PBS puts out stuff that bears no resemblance to what I consider orthodox Christianity all the time. It's just another's religious opinion; whether secular or Islamic. But I agree with Mr. Sookdeo...how would the extremist Muslim's respond in kind? Genuine Christians rest in the truth of their Faith. No longer is there the need or an understanding that there's a Biblical mandate to demand that other's believe as we do.

POPSTPM Cafe Gets it Right Don Q of TPM hits the nail on the head. He correctly contrasts two religious Georgians and their radically different views on religion versus the State. On the one hand (Newt) we have an opportunist hypocrit eyeing a run for the presidency druming up support from his base. On the other hand we have the failed president, Carter, who while not achieving the political popularity of Gingrich appears to better personify in his present day deeds the ideals of Christianity supporting the Separation of Church and State.
