www.Bennett.BibleForToday.org June 2009 #3 Dr. David C. Bennett, Editor (DCB) PO Box 1241 – Dubbo – NSW – 2830 – AUSTRALIA Phone/Fax 02-6884-2846 Email: Bennett@BibleForToday.org Permission is given to forward material contained in the AIB Newsletter. Purpose: To inform and warn God's people of religious, socal, and political events in today's world. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25601568-5001021,00.html Just when you thought you had heard everything a UNIVERSITY OFFERS PROTEST DEGREES 8 June, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – Thankfully this course was cancelled according to The Daily Telegraph’s telephone call to the instructor Dr Hannah Middleton. However, if it had run it would have included “training on how to disrupt Australia's top-level war games with the US military in an official course run by Sydney University.” Sydney “University's Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies offered students a six-week ‘Peace and Activism Training Course’ culminating in a trip to Queensland next month to disrupt Exercise Talisman Sabre.” The course would have cost $500 and this included “travel expenses for the six-day trip to Rockhampton to take part in the ‘Peace Convergence’ for the first week of the three-week exercise.” Middleton said the “students in the course would not have been asked to take part in actions that could get them arrested.” http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,525577,00.html HARSH JOB MARKET HAS STUDENTS FLOCKING TO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION GRADUATE PROGRAMS 9 June, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – Harvard and Yale have posted increases in their divinity studies of 10% and higher for their fall incoming classes. Now, that sounds good if these were people desiring to know more about God’s Word and preaching the gospel to see souls saved but sadly that is not the motivation. The motivating factors leading many of these pupils to divinity school are the “new issues” such as “global climate change and ‘gross immorality in the financial sector’ so says the dean of Yale Divinity School, Harold Attridge. http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/06/09/world/worldwatch/entry5076128.shtml June 9, 2009 SOME ISRAELIS INSULTED BY OBAMA PICTURE (Edited by DCB) – A photo of President BHO with his feet on his desk “in the Oval Office...talking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu” is “an ‘insult’ to Israel” so interpreted Israeli television newscasters. But the arrogance of the American administration does not stop there. Mr. Netanyahu “was told Tuesday by an ‘American official’ in Jerusalem that, ‘We are going to change the world. Please, don't interfere.’” Interesting! http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25632250-5001021,00.html MUSLIMS GET INTEREST-FREE LOANS 14 June, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – The National Australia Bank (NAB) “is planning to introduce ‘Muslim-friendly’ loans that do not charge interest, to comply with Sharia law.” These loans which will begin small “will have to be cleared by a Sharia Advisory Board to ensure they meet strict criteria before they can be made available to the public.” Does the NAB have a Christian, Jewish or Hindu Advisory Board? According to the Australian 2006 Census there were only 340 000 Muslims in Australia. It seems this small number carries a lot of influence! http://www.parliamentofreligions.org/index.cfm?n=6&sn=9 WHO AM I? – (Edited by DCB) – The following are some “Free public conversation series leading up to the Parliament of the World’s Religions” being held in Melbourne, Australia in December this year. These “conversations” are to “create public dialogue between people of different backgrounds and religious traditions” and “...explore questions relevant to the upcoming Melbourne Parliament of the World’s Religions and to our multifaith society.” Samples of conversations are: Spirituality and wellbeing Who am I in my inner life? Mysticism across religions Who am I in cyberspace? Spirituality and identity online Who am I? The visions of Jung, Darwin, Mondrian and Ramana Maharshi This is truly the future religion of the coming new world order! http://celebgalz.com/calvary-baptist-yorba-linda-church-richard-cunningham-philip-cunningham-sentenced/ June 15th, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – Orange county California’s Calvary Baptist Yorba Linda Church is in the news with Pastor Richard Cunningham, aged 76, and his son Philip Cunningham, age 52, having “been sentenced to 2 years each in prison.” They were convicted with theft and fraud of 3.1 million dollars from the church and school to purchase “time shares in Hawaii and Palm Springs golf club memberships and a Cadillac car.” This horrid situation reflects on the testimony of Christ plus the independent Baptist movement as the church is listed with the Baptist Bible Fellowship International http://www.bbfi.org/churches.asp. 1Timothy 3:2, 3 “A bishop then must be...not greedy of filthy lucre”. Because of Calvary, David C. Bennett, D. Min. |
