		<description>Just some thoughts on Rick Warren and the Chrislam movement:

1. Rick Warren knows he is wrong over signing the document “a common word between us and you” in 2007 stating that the “God of the Koran and the God of the Bible” are the “same God”, yet he blames the media and Christian bloggers for holding him accountable over the facts that truly surround the events exposed through the article that appeared in the Orange Country Register. To put it plain and simple – Rick Warren has no right whatsoever to play the “blame game” by pointing fingers at other people who have done the right thing by exposing his lies and his heretical teachings/beliefs against the sound word of God. Listen to what God tells us in Numbers 32:23, “”But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.” At this point, Rick Warren is so deep in heresy and lies, that his own sin is being exposed and finding him out in the public eye. It amazes me every time he contradicts himself and fails to practice what he preaches, he has to find some means to cover his “trail of lies” whether he points fingers at others or twists scripture to promote his own man-made platform of lies.

2. Many people have also been misled over what is claimed as “setting the record” straight. After the article appeared in the Orange County Register, the Christian Post website hosted an interview conducted by Mr. Brandon Cox, one of his supporters in the ministry. Mr. Cox asked RW questions over what he “really believes” in “contrast” to the claims made through the newspaper article. Many people after reading the interview on the Christian Post were deceived into thinking that “the record has been set straight” through the “horse’s mouth”. Here are some issues and problems this presents:

a. RW was interviewed by a source that supports his lies and heresies. So, of course, he is naturally going to give answers that “itch the ears” of his hearers. To only give “one side of the story” does an injustice to how he really believes and conducts himself. For example, if a source such as a ministry that has rightfully exposed his lies asked him hard questions as to why he has consistently contradicted himself (e.g., his lie on Larry King live over the Proposition 8 issue, his claim in the Purpose Driven Life book that New Age theology is a lie and not of the Lord, YET Saddleback church where he pastors hosts three doctors from the pulpit in 2011 that openly believe in New Age/Eastern mysticism beliefs, etc. etc.) I firmly believe if Rick Warren was asked difficult questions in a very firm and tactful manner related to his contradictions and lies, he would “break under pressure” and fail to practice what he claims he preaches. The unfortunate result of his interview on the Christian Post website is that people who are not reading God’s word and do not know God’s word will be blinded by the devil into believing the lie that the interview has done “justice” to what Rick Warren believes when in reality all it does is tell one side of the story that does not fairly expose his lies and contradictions from his books or speaking engagements to Muslim audiences.</description>

		<title>Comment on The Myth of Palestinian Christianity &#8211; Hudson New York by Rakovsky</title>

		<description>The article &quot;The Myth of Palestinian Christianity&quot; pointed out that in Israel/Palestine, &quot;Arab Christians numbered some 150,000... in 1947, whereas today, at around 180,000... So the absolute number of Arab Christians has increased over the last sixty years&quot;.

However, this is not the case everywhere there. The Palestinian Christian population of Israeli-controlled Jerusalem has fallen as follows:
1946- 31,400 
1948- Israeli control over West Jerusalem
1967- Israeli control over East &amp; West Jerusalem - 12,900;
1972- 11,800
2005- 15,700

Furthermore, the 20% growth Lowe cites in 1948-2010 is much lower than in the preceding years: The source cited in Malcolm Lowe&#039;s article (http://www.mideastweb.org/palpop.htm) records a population growth rate for Christians in 1922-1947 of 215%. While the Israeli population currently numbers about 7 million, the Palestinian Christian population should number 770,000 based on its growth leading up to 1948.

The implication from the statistics is that something is significantly impeding Christian growth there.

Lowe noted that the Christian population statistic for the West Bank and Gaza was: 48,855 (1961: Jordanian census under Jordanian control), 42,494 (1967: Israeli census under Israeli control). He suggested this meant that Jordan was responsible for driving out Christians, since the biggest decrease in those territories happened between those years. This is one explanation. Another is that there was a displacement of Palestinians that happened in 1967 during the Arab-Israeli war called the &quot;Naksa.&quot;</description>

		<description>Hi, Please don&#039;t judge a book by its cover, it is quite interesting to see people jump from one religion to the other in the name of making heaven. Truly does the lifestyle of these people really justify their making heaven? Most of them jump from bed to bed like monkey and still some out open to talk about religion. The source of their income is not known may be they are 419ers or wife of barons. we know them like the bible says, by their fruit yo shall know them.</description>

		<description>well I am 100% behind my dad Bishop Arnold Pinder Jr,not because he is my father but because I&#039;ve realized our country has strayed away from the Values of christianity. Back in those days our grandparents didn&#039;t have majority of the things we had today and they survived. most of them walk by faith and not by sight, also they knew that aith without works is dead. Legalizing gambling is like saying God can&#039;t get us out of debt! that&#039;s sad because the same God who blessed the children of Israel is the same God who can bless us. but we need to trust in him. all he asked is for you to do is put his kingdom first and all his righteousness and other things will be added unto you and if God promises and it is written in his words it must be fulfilled..

Like my father said earlier it will mess up families by financial failure..and that is correct, who say&#039;s your even guranteed to see that business when it&#039;s finish? who said that it would ever be deleieverd to us? so you rather go against what God said for the majority of votes? then again who has more knowledge than God?
in his word he warned us of the results in this why go against it and bring more trouble?</description>
