Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is under fire after a group says he broke the law by giving a sermon in uniform.

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)

LAKELAND, Fla. – Judd spoke from the pulpit of First Baptist Church at the Mall in Lakeland two months ago. “Wouldn’t the world be better if everyone behaved like a Christian?” Judd said as part of his speech.

The Freedom from Religion Foundation sent Judd a letter accusing him of “excluding other religions and making non-believers feel like outsiders in their own community.”

Judd says he was invited to the church and that his message was “clear and uplifting.”

However, the Freedom from Religion Foundation says if the sheriff continues to speak about religion while wearing his uniform, it will consider filing a lawsuit. source

Tokyo Olympics Open In Japan With Celebrities Singing The Atheist National Anthem ‘Imagine’ Inviting People To Live In A World Without God

John Legend, Keith Urban Lead Singing of Atheist National Anthem ‘Imagine’ at Tokyo Olympics 2021 Opening Ceremony in Japan.

John Legend, Keith Urban, and Angélique Kidjo led a version of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s utopian anthem “Imagine” at the Tokyo Olympics, which featured Legend, whose net worth is an estimated $75 million, belting out the line “imagine no possessions.”

This is the dream of all God-rejecting Liberals everywhere, to live in a world unencumbered by the perfect, righteous and holy God who will hold them accountable, and instead invite you to ‘imagine’ a a place where there is no hope of Heaven. That place is called Hell in the Bible, and you better pray that the imagination portrayed in that song does not come true for you. So after 17 months of a global pandemic, the whole world is coming together to imagine living without God.

And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.” Jeremiah 18:12 (KJB)

In your King James Bible, the word ‘imagination’ appears 14 times, and in every one of those times it points to the wickedness and evil of the unregenerate human heart. I wonder if John Lennon knew that when he wrote the anti-God atheist national anthem ‘Imagine’? Fun fact, your Not Inspired Version NIV bible removes all 14 instances of the word ‘imagination’, providing only 2 spots with the word ‘imagination’, not matching the King James, and floundering in watered-down meaninglessness.

“Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin’ for today
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one”

John Legend, Keith Urban Lead Singing of ‘Imagine’ at Olympics Opening Ceremony

FROM BREITBART NEWS: The Opening Ceremony kicked off on Friday with several artists participating in a rendition of “Imagine” — which asks listeners to, ironically, imagine there are “no countries.” The Suginami Junior Chorus and Spanish musician Alejandro Sanz were also featured in the number.

Legend, an overtly leftist Hollywood activist, belted out the lyrics, “Imagine no possessions/I wonder if you can/No need for greed or hunger/A brotherhood of man/ Imagine all the people/ Sharing all the world. The multi-millionaire “All of Me” singer, who considered fleeing the U.S. because of former President Trump, is no stranger to the hypocrisy.

Last year, he teamed up with failed Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams for a “Rock the Runoff” get-out-the-vote concert, which featured tickets costing up to $25,000. The climate change hardliner, along with his wife Chrissy Teigen, also took a private jet to perform for Joe Biden’s inaugural event in January. That was not the first time the millionaires took such action.

In February 2020, Legend and Teigen flew 500 miles just for a Valentine’s Day date — an action that would be impossible if Legend lived up to the utopian lyrics he performed in his Olympic rendition of “Imagine.” READ MORE

Bible Scholar Joseph Atwill In His Book ‘Caesar’s Messiah’ Argues That Jesus Was A Myth Created By The Romans To Keep The Jews Pacified And Paying Taxes

In his new book ‘Caesar’s Messiah’ bible scholar Joseph Atwill exposes Jesus Christ as a hoax created by the Romans to keep the Jews in Palestine quiet.

Christianity is a baseless religion that was designed by the Roman empire to justify slavery and pacify the citizens, according to controversial Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill.

I usually get in trouble when I am speaking without a filter, so I will say this as charitably as I can. There is not on this earth anywhere a dumber group of people than those select individuals that call themselves ‘bible scholars’. Whenever one of those special people open their mouths, it is a near guarantee that what is about to come out of that mouth is the rank heresy of the educated atheist. With that, let’s say hello to bible scholar Joseph Atwill, he was written an entire book called ‘Caesar’s Messiah’ that “exposes the greatest secret in world history’ that Jesus of Nazareth was a ‘creation of the Roman government’ designed to keep the Jews pacified and paying taxes. 🤔

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”  2 Peter 3:3-7 (KJV)

The very premise of ‘Caesar’s Messiah’ is so categorically stupid that I almost didn’t want to take the time to write an article refuting it. You don’t argue with people who claim that gravity doesn’t exist, or people who think the earth is flat, why would you want to waste your precious time doing that? But this ‘scholar’ taking a swipe at my Saviour cannot go unanswered, I value far too much the precious Blood that was shed to buy my pardon to not step in and say something.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6,7 (KJV)

So let’s answer a fool according to his folly, shall we? For starters, Atwill conveniently neglects nearly a thousand years of Old Testament prophecies regarding the then-coming Messiah with over 300 prophecies that were fulfilled with 100% accuracy with the birth and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. The vast bulk of that prophecy was written hundreds of years before Rome ever even existed as a world power. Second, there is the personal and first-hand testimony of hundreds of witnesses regarding Jesus and the miracles He performed. Third, if Jesus was simply a “roman creation” would the Roman government then made themselves look so foolish as to allow Him to rise from the dead on the third day? I mean, how hard is it to keep a mythical corpse in a tomb? Yet, Rome had some massive egg on their faces on that first Resurrection Morning.

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8 (KJV)

Would the apostles have given their lives for a hoax…would YOU die for something you knew wasn’t true? And even if you would, could you convince dozens of other disciples and apostles to kill themselves for a hoax they knew was a hoax with you? I mean, come on. The only thing that Rome is guilty of inventing is the counterfeit of biblical Christianity known as the Roman Catholic Church. That they did create, and that is certainly a hoax when compared to the Bible.

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV)

Jesus of Nazareth is most certainly not a hoax, for if He was, the Romans wouldn’t have crucified Him on the cross between two malefactors. Bible scholars like Joseph Atwill are the same bunch that has been trying to steal not only your faith but also your Bible with their endless procession of “new and improved” bible perversions that do nothing but attack the deity, power and authority of Jesus Christ. They constantly drag you to the “hebrew and greek’ to inform you that “a better translation says” blah, blah, blah.

“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJV) 

So I will say a hearty “no thanks!” to mountains of books produced by the bible scholars, and I will stick with my King James Holy Bible, written at a 6th grade comprehension level and in plain English so that even a non-scholar like me can get a hold of it.  Jesus loves me. this I know, for the BIBLE from Genesis to Revelation tells me so. What a thing, man, what a thing!

Story of Jesus Christ was a HOAX designed to control the people, Biblical scholar claims

FROM THE EXPRESS UK: In a blog on his website Mr Atwill wrote: “Christianity may be considered a religion, but it was actually developed and used as a system of mind control to produce slaves that believed God decreed their slavery.” The scholar argues that at the time, Jewish sects in Palestine were awaiting a ‘warrior Messiah’, which became an increasing problem after the Roman Empire failed to deal with the problem with traditional means.

As Atwill presents in Caesar’s Messiah, the Flavian Roman imperial family created Christianity to pacify the militaristic opposition to their rule. Even more incredibly, they placed a literary satire within the Gospels to mark their handiwork.  This symbolic framework is the hidden history of Western civilization. In his follow-up book, Shakespeare’s Secret Messiah, Atwill shows how this typology was understood and employed by Marlowe and Shakespeare, and what it means for the future of the Christian world. source

As a result, the rulers resorted to psychological warfare which would appear to give the citizens what they wanted, while at the same time making sure they followed their rules.

Mr Atwill added: “They surmised that the way to stop the spread of zealous Jewish missionary activity was to create a competing belief system. That’s when the ‘peaceful’ Messiah story was invented.

“Instead of inspiring warfare, this Messiah urged turn-the-other-cheek pacifism and encouraged Jews to ‘give onto Caesar’ and pay their taxes to Rome.

“Although Christianity can be a comfort to some, it can also be very damaging and repressive, an insidious form of mind control that has led to blind acceptance of serfdom, poverty, and war throughout history.”

Mr Atwill even goes so far to say that “to this day, especially in the United States, it is used to create support for war in the Middle East”. He says he first discovered this revelation when noticing Jesus is “the only fictional character in literature whose entire life story can be traced to other sources”.

By comparing the New Testament to the ‘War of the Jews’ by Josephus – the sole surviving account of first century Judea – he found the parallels between the two are uncanny.

Mr Atwill: ”What seems to have eluded many scholars is that the sequence of events and locations of Jesus ministry are more or less the same as the sequence of events and locations of the military campaign of Emperor Titus Flavius as described by Josephus.

“This is clear evidence of a deliberately constructed pattern. The biography of Jesus is actually constructed, tip to stern, on prior stories, but especially on the biography of a Roman Caesar.” READ MORE

Stephen Hawking Now Has The Answer To Life’s Most Fundamental Question, But It Came Too Late To Save Him

The belief that heaven or an afterlife awaits us is a “fairy story” for people afraid of death, Stephen Hawking has said. “There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark,” he added.

Professor Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76 – more than 50 years after he was given just two years to live.

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalm 14:1 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: Stephen Hawking was regarded by his peers as the smartest scientist since Albert Einstein, his book entitled A Brief History Of Time sold over 10 million copies. But Stephen Hawking and his celebrated intellect was unable to grasp one simple truth that my kids all had a hold of before the age of 10. That everyone of us are sinners who need a Saviour, and that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah of Israel who paid our sin debt on the cross 2,000 years ago. Ironically, in the same words where he steadfastly denied the very existence of the God of the Bible, he said he was ‘grateful for the grand design’ of the universe. Hmm….any first year art student will tell you that without a Designer there can be no design. Hawking at this very moment is hyper-aware of the reality that God does exist, that Jesus Christ is the only way, and that Heaven is real. But sadly, that information does him no good now. He died in his sins with no one to pay for them but himself. Want to be smarter than the smartest man in the world? Ask Jesus to save you on the basis of His death, burial and resurrection, and when you die, instead of burning in a fiery Hell reserved for the Devil, his angels and the unsaved, you’ll be in Heaven with Jesus. Heaven or Hell? You don’t need a college education to see which one of the those two things is better. 

The world’s most celebrated scientist passed away peacefully at his home in Cambridge this morning after a long battle with motor neurone disease, his family has revealed.

His children, Lucy, Robert and Tim said in a statement: ‘We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years

‘He once said, ‘It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.’ We will miss him forever’. They also said their father’s ‘courage, persistence, brilliance and humour inspired people across the world’.

Professor Hawking was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 1963 when he was 21 and he defied medical experts who said he would be dead within two years.

In the following 55 years he became the world’s most famous scientist since Albert Einstein for his work exploring the mysteries of space, time and black holes despite being wheelchair-bound and only able to communicate using a computer and his famous voice synthesizer.

Notable quotes from Stephen Hawking:

  • “We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.”
  • “There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works.”
  • “We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe, and no one directs our fate.” source

Fellow physicist Lawrence Krauss tweeted: ‘‏A star just went out in the cosmos. Stephen Hawking fought and tamed the cosmos bravely for 76 years and taught us all something important about what it truly means to celebrate about being human. I will miss him’.

The belief that heaven or an afterlife awaits us is a “fairy story” for people afraid of death, Stephen Hawking has said.

In a dismissal that underlines his firm rejection of religious comforts, Britain’s most eminent scientist said there was nothing beyond the moment when the brain flickers for the final time.

“I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark,” he added.
