The following piece, written by CAMERA analyst Dexter Van Zile, appeared in The Jewish World Review on July 27.

Anglican Priest Naim Ateek is making the rounds in support of his most recent book, A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation (Orbis, 2008), in which he falsely accuses Israel of perpetrating a “slow and creeping genocide” against Palestinians — who have one of the fastest growing populations in the world.

Does his obvious biblical ignorance actually eclipse even his religious hypocrisy and revisionist pseudo-scholarship on behalf of radical Islam and his anti Israel ecumenical eastern catholic partners? Continue reading »

English Paper Announces President Bush May Be Considering Catholicism

The Pope & President Bush

The Pope & President Bush

Vatican City, Jun 13, 2008 / 05:50 pm (CNA).- Today as President Bush and Pope Benedict XVI met at the Vatican, the English newspaper, The Telegraph reported that Bush may be considering converting to Catholicism at the end of his presidential term.

The Telegraph indicated that various Italian newspapers have been commenting on the news, especially Il Foglio.

Il Foglio explains that the circulating rumors could be correct: ‘anything is possible, especially for someone reborn like Bush.”  Yet, similar to former Prime Minister Tony Blair, ‘if anything happens, it will happen after he finishes his period as president, not before. It is similar to Blair’s case, but with different circumstances.’ Continue reading »

Final Preparations to Receive the New Age Christ

All Scripture quotations are from the New King James Version, unless otherwise stated.

Christianity experiences unprecedented attacks on its foundational truths. These attacks are motivated and coordinated by evil forces that are intent on deceiving all people as a prelude to revealing the Antichrist and physically establishing Satan’s kingdom on earth. Their main obstacle is biblical beliefs in the deity, atoning death, resurrection and second coming of Jesus Christ. As a result, attacks against evangelical Christianity are on the increase, being aimed at discrediting the canonical books of the Bible, and thus also the God and Saviour of the Bible.

At least The Ayatollah of Canterbury Is Honest, Mr Brown

9th February 2008

Archbishop Rowan WilliamsThe poor old Ayatollah of Canterbury doesn’t actually deserve all the slime now being tipped over his modernised mitre. Just some of it. Of course it is absurd for the chief of the Christian Church in this country to cringe publicly to Islam. But at least Archbishop Williams is open about his unwillingness to defend the faith – as is his colleague, the wretched Bishop of Oxford, who recently announced that he was perfectly happy for loudspeakers to blare the Muslim call to prayer across that city. Even on their own liberal terms, this pair are clueless about sharia and its scorn for women. Continue reading »

Let Us Reason Ministries

This article is a response to an email we received from Ted Haggard on April 7, 2003. Haggard was responding to our Open Letter To The NAE. Keep in mind that Ted Haggard did not want us to use the word “official response” but graciously gave us permission to use his comments. The reason we asked if his email to us was an official response to our open letter was because we wanted to find out if he stood behind what he claimed in his emails to us. We did this so that we would be able to give a thoughtful response and not expect him to take some other position after the fact. This letter is not meant to be disrespectful. Our intent is to be honest in our position and response. The following is the section of Haggard’s email where he gave us permission to use his response. Continue reading »
