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 social, and political events in today's world. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,577226,00.html?test=latestnews MASSACHUSETTS WOMAN SEES IMAGE OF JESUS ON HER IRON 27 November, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – Yes, this made it in the news. Mary Jo Coady grew up Roman Catholic and has recently separated from her husband, had her work hours cut and moved to a new apartment. In spite of these emotional events she believes “life is going to be good” because an image of Jesus has appeared, where else but on her iron. Yes, on her iron! She “first noticed the image...when she walked into her daughter's room. The brownish residue on the bottom of the iron looks like the face of a man with long hair.” She isn’t alone in her belief as her two teenage daughters “agree that the image looks like Jesus and is proof that ‘he's listening.’” She will keep the iron in the closet and buy a new one with the hopes that her iron story “will inspire others during the holidays”. John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breaking-news/voting-begins-in-costello-seat-higgins-by-election/story-e6freuyi-1225807193933 VOTING BEGINS IN COSTELLO SEAT HIGGINS BY-ELECTION 5 December, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – Politics is a strange animal. In former Liberal treasurer Peter Costello’s seat of Higgins voting has begun with the Liberals and Greens running candidates. The Labor Party is not running a candidate but “an independent climate change sceptic, a former Hungarian wrestler and a member of the Sex Party” are! A political Sex Party! Really, is there no shame? Go independent climate change sceptic, go! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,579506,00.html CONNECTICUT SCHOOL OFFICIAL DEFENDS BAN ON RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS IN CLASS 5 December, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – How does “Happy Winter” sound? Get used to it if you go to school at Walsh Elementary School in Waterbury, Conn. The principal, Erik Brown, said the school was “...not a church” but was “a public school” and as principal he had “...to do things that include every child. So what we do is celebrate winter.” However he went on to say “...songs celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa will be sung during Walsh's ‘Winter Celebration’ on Dec. 21, and as in previous years, presents will be given to students.” It isn’t clear whether this celebration is of “winter” rather than Christmas due to Muslims or not but in case it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Muslim_population informs us the population of Muslims in the USA is 2,454,000 or 0.8% of the population. Is it not sad a nation founded on Christian principles has surrendered its heritage! http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2009/12/03/2760928.htm FEEDING THE BIRDS CHANGES SPECIES 3December, 2009 (Edited by DCB) – Psalm 14:1 “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God...” and evolutionary thinking is a result. Current Biology recently published research that says humans feeding blackcap birds “can alter their migratory pattern, which may cause them to develop into a separate species.” However, Steve Cooper, Associate Professor of the South Australia Museum says the physical difference “between the two populations was triggered by the migratory divide, which caused the two populations to breed in isolation.” They are no longer interbreeding as they were previously but are now “only mating within the same pool of individuals who are on the same migrating route”. Even though the two blackcap populations “have distinct genetic and physiological differences, they're not a separate species.” Cooper added that they are “evolving into potentially different species, [but] the isolation of the two groups isn't complete, it's a very early phase.” In the end is it just variation or is it truly macroevolution? I go with the former. Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservative_Bible_Project#Building_on_the_King_James_Version THE CONSERVATIVE BIBLE PROJECT IS A PROJECT TO RENDER GOD'S WORD INTO MODERN ENGLISH WHILE REMOVING LIBERAL DISTORTIONS. (Edited by DCB) – This is a project seeking to translate the Word of God without a liberal bias which they contend “has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations.” Their “First Example - Liberal-Promoted Falsehood” is Luke 23: 34 where our King James Bible reads “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do....” These would be translators say “The earliest, most authentic manuscripts of the Gospel According to Luke lack this verse fragment set forth at the start of Luke 23:34”. Of course the King James Bible is “known to be deficient due to discovery of more authentic sources”. The “more authentic sources” these would be translators are speaking of would be Westcott and Hort’s favourite manuscripts Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. In fact “In their margin, WH omitted the first two-thirds of Luke 23: 34.”[1] The people in this “Conservative Bible Project” should read Dean John William Burgon’s Revision Revised and Dr. Charles V. Turner’s Biblical Bible Translating before they begin tinkering with the Word of God! Revelation 22:19 “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” http://biggovernment.com/2009/12/08/fistgate-ii-high-school-students-given-fisting-kits-at-kevin-jennings-2001-glsen-conference/ FISTGATE II: HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GIVEN ‘FISTING KITS’ AT KEVIN JENNINGS’ 2001 GLSEN CONFERENCE (Edited by DCB) – This is so gross it is hard to imagine that any administration would put a man such as Kevin Jennings as Czar of “the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools in the US Department of Education.” Jennings is a sodomite and founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). He “was paid $273,573.96 as its executive director in 2007.” At a GLSEN conference held at Tufts University “workshop leaders led a ‘youth only, ages 14-21’ session that offered lessons in ‘fisting’ a dangerous sexual practice. During another workshop an activist asked 14 year-old students, ‘Spit or swallow?… Is it rude?’” The story is too gross to comment on any further. While the American people still have the liberty to do so they need to bombard their local congressional representatives to have this man dismissed immediately! It is still true that “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34. Because of Calvary, David C. Bennett, D. Min. [1] D. A.
