Written by Andrea Williams is the Chief Executive of Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre, which works to safeguard the freedom of Christians and to provide legal support for those taking a stand for Jesus: For decades, cultural Marxism has run rampant through our institutions. This week, the world watched an officer dragging Henry Nowak across the floor as he died. The police officer, in the moment, failed to take seriously Henry’s claim to have been stabbed. He was needlessly handcuffed. His murderer stood over him, complaining of a swollen eye. He died on the floor. It was the moment that the world woke up to the danger of cultural Marxism. In significant moments like this, the story often becomes larger than the facts themselves. None of us can fully know the thoughts or motivations of every person involved. But we know that in the 999 call and when the officers arrived, Vickrum Digwa weaponised claims of racism against his victim. And we know that for decades, concerns about political correctness have prevented police officers and other officials from doing the right thing, with devastating effects. It would take enormous levels of faith for someone to believe that the claims of racism had no negative effect on the officers’ response at the scene. This week, many have finally lost their faith in the grandmaster of cultural Marxism, Gramsci. A Pyramid Of Oppression And The Hierarchy Of Rights I have long lamented the way in which white men in our nation have been portrayed endlessly as the oppressor. Anyone who falls outside this ‘dominant’ group is assumed to be a victim of that oppression in some way. The same is true of other characteristics: if you are Christian, heterosexual, or ‘cisgender’, you are often presumed to stand at the top of a cultural pyramid, benefiting from and perpetuating the disadvantage of those deemed to be below you. The great success of cultural Marxism has been to march through the institutions, embedding attitudes and policies that invert this so-called pyramid of oppression, intentionally creating biases to correct what is seen as inequity. Intersectionality meant that disparate groups like Muslims and LGBTQ+ saw a common oppressor in Christians and could ally against them. That’s why, when the Equality Act laid out protected characteristics like religion or belief, sexual orientation, and gender reassignment, it was never going to achieve real equality. There would be a clash between protected characteristics and a hierarchy of rights would develop. In the work of the Christian Legal Centre, I have seen this play out in countless different ways. Islam Many of the most serious harms have come through fears of political correctness around Islam. Decades of grooming gang abuses were allowed to continue because police and other authorities were concerned about accusations of racism and Islamophobia. The victims include ‘Sarah’, whom I have personally supported. She is among several survivors who have shared the specifically Islamic nature of some of the abuse. It has been a long uphill battle to get the authorities to even consider that these have anything to do with Islam, as our recent report demonstrates. A security guard at the Manchester Arena attack failed to intervene for fear of being branded a racist. In the wake of that and other Islamist attacks, Ian Sleeper held a sign saying “Love Muslims, hate Islam, Jesus is love and hope.” He was arrested. The evangelist Hatun Tash is well known for having been stabbed at Speakers’ Corner and facing multiple plots to kill her because of her outreach to Muslims. Yet it is she who has been arrested numerous times, not the mobs surrounding her. She was arrested for damaging her own Quran. She was arrested falsely in 2021 minutes after those who incited her arrest were recorded calling for Jewish blood. Even in situations where Muslims are the majority, as they surround the diminutive Hatun, they are afforded minority status and protected against the Christian. And the Labour Government pushed hard for an Islamophobia definition (now ‘anti-Muslim hostility’) which will only make things worse. It provides even more reasons why people will be afraid to trust their eyes and address the real problems in front of them. The Nursing and Midwifery Council has recently updated its misconduct guide to implement this anti-Muslim hatred definition. And speaking of nurses… Trans Identities – Afforded The Highest Protection? As I have supported nurses like Jennifer Melle and the Darlington Nurses through lengthy legal battles, it has been plain to see trans-identifying people being treated as automatic victims, no matter what the facts are. Multiple women raised concerns about the inappropriate behaviour of ‘Rose’, a man who stood in a female changing room in his boxer shorts with holes in them and triggered traumatic flashbacks for female nurse Karen Danson. Even though the nurses won their case, the treatment of these women throughout the situation is in stark contrast to the support and respect consistently given to ‘Rose’. Even more stark was the differing treatment given to Jennifer Melle when she accurately described a male, convicted paedophile prisoner as ‘mister’, leading to her being racially abused using the N word. She was suspended and offered no support because his status as trans gave him automatic victim status, with Jennifer cast as oppressor. Cultural Marxism Blinds Us Everywhere I look in our cases and campaigns, this thinking turns up. Felix Ngole’s Christian views about marriage and sex were argued to be harmful due to minority stress theory. The “smash heteronormativity” chants used in staff training that chaplain Bernard Randall objected to cost him his job. I could continue to outline the countless ways that these clashes play out between differing groups. The ubiquitous ideology of cultural Marxism has blinded us and led to worse inequalities. So it would be absolutely no surprise for it to have blinded the police officers attending the murder of Henry Nowak. Everything about our cultural narratives screams that it’s likely that a white lad, perhaps after a night out, would racially abuse and attack a minority. This is what Vickrum Digwa exploited. This is what made Henry Nowak’s claim of having been stabbed so unbelievable to the police officer arriving at the scene. Reverse the identities of those involved and this is plain to see. Imagine a group of white men standing around a minority who is on the floor saying he’s been stabbed. Does anyone truly believe the treatment would have been identical? God demands that we show no partiality. There is one law for both native and stranger. We must abandon systems of thinking that insist on privileging some groups over others, not because of “the content of their character” but because they belong to a group that is afforded automatic victim status. The ideology of cultural Marxism has twisted Christian virtues of impartiality and justice into a harmful parody of those values. The world is becoming ready for the real thing – we need to be ready to give it to them. It’s found in the person of Jesus Christ, in whom all things hold together. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus makes sense of everything. In him, truth, justice and freedom are found.

Tithing: (What The Bible Actually Says) Tithing is one of the most misunderstood topics in the church today. Some pastors teach that if you give 10% God will make you wealthy. Others claim tithing was only for Israel and Christians should ignore it completely. Both positions usually leave out huge portions of Scripture. So let’s walk through the full biblical picture. Ft, the word tithe literally means “a tenth.” In Hebrew the word is ma'aser, which simply means a tenth portion set apart. But the important question is not what the word means. The real question is how the Bible actually used it. Tithing appears in Scripture before the Law, but it was not a commanded system yet. Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek after rescuing Lot. Genesis 14:20 says, “And he gave him tithes of all.” But this was a voluntary act. It was not commanded, and Scripture never records Abraham practicing a lifelong mandatory ten percent system. Later Jacob made a vow. Genesis 28:22 “Of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.” Again, this was voluntary. It was not a command for all people.the becomes an official system under the Mosaic Law, when Israel becomes a covenant nation. At this point the tithe functioned almost like a national support system. It supported the priesthood, funded worship festivals, and provided for the poor. And here is something many people do not realize. Israel did not just have one tithe. They had multiple tithes. Numbers 18 explains the tithe given to the Levites, because the tribe of Levi did not receive land like the other tribes. Deuteronomy 14 describes another tithe used for the national worship festivals in Jerusalem. Then every third year another tithe was stored locally to care for widows, orphans, foreigners, and the poor. When you add them all together, Israel was not giving ten percent. Many scholars estimate it was closer to twenty to twenty-three percent. It functioned very much like a national taxation system for Israel's covenant nation. Now fast forward to the passage most often quoted in churches. Malachi 3. “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me… in tithes and offerings.” This verse is constantly used to pressure Christians. But look at the context. God is speaking to Israel under the Law, rebuking priests and the nation for breaking the covenant. The promise of blessing tied to that tithe was connected to Israel’s covenant relationship with the land. It was never given as a universal promise that if you give money God will make you rich. That idea is the foundation of the prosperity gospel, and it twists Scripture. Jesus did mention tithing, but notice the context again. Matthew 23:23 “You tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness.” Jesus was speaking to Pharisees who were still living under the Law. His issue was not the tithe. His issue was their hypocrisy. They carefully counted their herbs but ignored justice, mercy, and faith. Then the cross happens. And something changes. The New Testament never commands Christians to tithe. Instead, it teaches something deeper. Generous giving. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Notice the difference. Not pressure, manipulation, or religious tax, but a willing heart. The New Testament still teaches that ministry should be supported. Galatians 6:6 says the one who is taught the Word should share with the one who teaches. 1 Timothy 5:18 say's “The labourer deserves his wages.” And believers are also called to care for the poor. In Acts 4 we read that the early church shared so freely that there were no needy people among them. In fact, New Testament generosity often went beyond ten percent, because it flowed from love instead of obligation. This is where the prosperity gospel completely misses the point. Some teachers say, “Sow your seed and God will multiply your money.” But Scripture warns about people who treat godliness as a way to get rich. 1 Timothy 6:5 warns about those who think faith is a means of financial gain. That is not the heart of biblical giving. Giving is worship. Giving is gratitude. Giving is recognizing that everything we have already belongs to God. Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” So the real question for Christians today is not, “How little am I required to give?” The real question is, “How can I honour God with what He has entrusted to me?” Tithing was part of Israel’s covenant system. Christian giving is something deeper. It is generosity flowing from grace. And when giving flows from a heart that truly understands the Gospel, it stops being about percentages and starts being about worship. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT TITHING? A lot of Christians get this wrong. Some churches hammer giving so hard it turns into pressure, guilt, and manipulation. Then on the other side, some Christians use that abuse as an excuse to ignore giving altogether. Both are wrong. The tithe was an Old Testament command under the Law. Israel gave a tenth of crops and livestock for the support of the tabernacle, the temple, the Levites, the feasts, and care for the poor. Leviticus 27:30 says: “And all the tithe of the land… is the LORD’S: it is holy unto the LORD.” That was Israel under the Law. But Christians are not Israel under the Mosaic covenant. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law. We are under grace, not under the old covenant system. That means the New Testament never commands the Church to pay a legal ten percent tithe like Israel did. You will not find Paul telling the Body of Christ, “You must give exactly ten percent or you are robbing God.” Christian giving is willing, purposeful, worshipful, and tied to the heart. 1 Corinthians 16:2 says: “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him…” That means giving should be according to how God has prospered you. Not fake, forced, and not for show. Then 2 Corinthians 9:7 gives the heart of New Testament giving.. “Every man according as he purposed in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” There it is. Not grudgingly, or under compulsion. Not because a preacher squeezed you. Not because somebody made you feel cursed if you did not hit a number. Give because you love the Lord. Give because the work of the ministry needs support. Give because the body of Christ has real needs. Give because everything you have came from God anyway. For some believers, giving ten percent may be a good starting point. For others, there may be seasons where they cannot give that much. For others, they may be able to give far more. The issue is not a percentage. The issue is the heart before God. A greedy Christian hiding behind “we are not under the tithe” still has a problem. A church using the tithe like a spiritual bill collector also has a problem. New Testament giving is not legalism, and it is not laziness. It is grace working through a generous heart. Pray. Be honest before God. Take care of your responsibilities. Support sound ministry. Help real needs. Give as God has prospered you. And do it with worship, not pressure. Because God does not need your money. He wants your heart.

Understanding the Deeper Issues There’s a deeper issue with Christians promoting flat-earth content. It’s not just that the claim is scientifically false. The real problem is what it communicates about God, truth, and our witness to the world. When believers publicly reject basic, measurable realities that anyone can test, it doesn’t make us look faithful. It makes us appear unlearned, reactionary, and disconnected from reality. Scripture never calls us to reject knowledge. Instead, it encourages us to test all things, love God with our minds, and walk wisely among outsiders. When Christians attach themselves to easily disproven claims, we don’t elevate God—we unintentionally shrink Him. The Nature of God and His Creation God is not honored by fragile belief systems that collapse under simple observation. The God of Scripture is the Creator of order, law, measure, and consistency. The heavens declare His glory not because they are mysterious nonsense, but because they operate with precision, reliability, and intelligible structure. Gravity, motion, geometry, and time are not enemies of faith. They are part of God’s design. When Christians promote flat-earth ideas, it tells the watching world that faith requires denial of evidence. It suggests that belief in God is incompatible with learning and that Scripture cannot withstand investigation. None of that is biblical. Christianity gave birth to modern science because believers trusted that a rational God created a rational universe worth studying. The Distraction from the Gospel Worse still, these posts distract from the Gospel. Instead of people seeing Christ as Lord, Redeemer, and Truth, they see Christians arguing against satellites, gravity, and basic physics. The conversation shifts from salvation and transformation to damage control. Not because the world hates truth—but because it recognizes error. The Bible never teaches a flat earth. It uses poetic language, phenomenological descriptions, and ancient observational terms—just like we still say “the sun rises” today without meaning it literally or scientifically. Confusing poetic language with scientific claims doesn’t make us more biblical; it makes us careless interpreters of Scripture. The Power of Truth God does not need conspiracy theories to defend Him. Truth stands on its own. A faith that requires rejecting reality is not stronger faith—it is weaker faith pretending to be bold. If we want to honor God, we should be people who love truth wherever it is found. We should not be afraid of investigation and should reflect the wisdom of the Creator in how we think, speak, and teach. The world isn’t rejecting Christianity because God is small. It’s rejecting caricatures of Christianity that make Him look that way. The Scientific Reality of Our World The Flat Earth Claim The “flat earth” claim doesn’t fail because of one clever argument. It fails because the physical world keeps giving the same answer from a thousand angles. In physics, the most reliable conclusions are the ones that are overdetermined: multiple independent measurements, using different methods, all converge on the same result. That’s exactly what happens here. The Earth is a rotating, gravitating spheroid (an oblate sphere), and the evidence is not subtle. Understanding Horizons Start with the simplest geometry: horizons. On a flat plane, the horizon is either infinite or limited only by haze and the resolving power of your eyes and camera. But in reality, the horizon behaves like a geometric occlusion. As distance increases, the bottom of objects disappears first. That “bottom-first” loss is what you get when a curved surface blocks the line of sight. You can test this in the real world with shoreline skylines, distant buildings, or ships. Zooming in doesn’t bring back what’s hidden behind the horizon because it’s not a “resolution” problem; it’s a line-of-sight problem. If the Earth were flat, increasing magnification should recover the whole object (subject to atmospheric blur). Instead, you recover detail in the visible part while the hidden part remains hidden, because the surface is in the way. The Dynamics of Gravity Now move from geometry to dynamics: gravity. A flat earth model has a brutal physics issue: mass attracts mass. If you had a large flat disk of Earth-mass, gravity would not pull “straight down” everywhere. Near the center, “down” would be roughly perpendicular to the disk; near the edges, gravity would lean inward toward the center. That means plumb lines, building levels, and “down” would measurably tilt depending on location. In a round-earth model, local gravity points toward Earth’s center of mass, which matches what we observe: “down” is locally radial, not globally parallel. The fact that vertical is locally consistent everywhere is exactly what you expect on a sphere under gravity. Precision in Measurement Even more, Earth’s gravity field has been measured with exquisite precision. The acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 m/s², but it varies slightly with latitude and altitude in the exact way predicted by a rotating oblate spheroid: Earth bulges at the equator (increasing radius, reducing g) and rotation reduces effective weight slightly more at the equator than at the poles. Those variations are not philosophical; they are measurable and are used in geophysics, surveying, and inertial navigation. The Coriolis Effect Speaking of rotation: the Coriolis effect is not a “theory,” it’s a consequence of motion in a rotating frame. If Earth rotates, moving air and water should deflect relative to the surface: to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern. That is exactly what we see in the handedness of large-scale cyclones and the structure of ocean gyres. More importantly, the Coriolis effect can be measured directly in controlled settings. Artillery tables, long-range ballistics, and even high-precision engineering account for Earth’s rotation. A flat, non-rotating Earth doesn’t give you a consistent global Coriolis framework; a rotating sphere does. The Foucault Pendulum A classic, clean physics demonstration is the Foucault pendulum. It’s a simple pendulum set swinging in a fixed plane, and the Earth rotates beneath it. The pendulum’s plane appears to rotate at a rate that depends on latitude: zero at the equator, maximum at the poles, proportional to the sine of latitude. This is not “perspective” or “camera tricks.” It is inertial physics. The latitude dependence is the key: it matches a rotating sphere, not a flat plane with ad hoc motion. Observing the Sky Then there’s the sky itself, which is essentially a giant physics lab. On a sphere, observers at different latitudes see different portions of the celestial sphere. That’s why the altitude of Polaris changes with latitude in the northern hemisphere and why the southern sky has different constellations, with a different “pole” near Sigma Octantis. On a flat Earth with a small “nearby” sun and dome-like sky, you can’t simultaneously preserve the angular relationships, apparent rotations, and consistent stellar navigation across vast distances. Yet celestial navigation works because the sky behaves like it’s effectively at infinity, and Earth’s surface is curved beneath it. The Geometry of Time Zones Time zones are another geometry slam. If the sun were a small lamp sweeping over a plane, you’d expect odd distortions in solar angles and day-night boundaries. You’d have trouble explaining the crispness and shape of the terminator (the moving boundary between day and night). On a sphere lit by a distant sun, the terminator is the intersection of sunlight with a sphere, and its behavior matches what we see, including seasonal shifts. The Impact of Seasons Seasonal changes themselves are deadly to flat models without constant patchwork. The length of day changes with latitude through the year, and in polar regions, you get continuous daylight or darkness for extended periods. That behavior drops naturally out of a tilted rotating sphere orbiting the sun. Flat models end up inventing complicated sun paths and spotlight beams that still fail to reproduce the observed timing and geometry consistently for both hemispheres. The Role of Satellites Now let’s talk about the most “physics” proof of all: radio and satellites. Modern communication relies on orbital mechanics. Orbit is not a magic hover; it’s free-fall around a massive body. The reason satellites stay up is that they’re moving sideways fast enough that as they fall, the Earth curves away beneath them. GPS is especially crushing because it requires not just satellites existing, but precision timing consistent with relativity. GPS satellites’ clocks tick at different rates compared to Earth clocks due to both special relativity (motion) and general relativity (weaker gravity at altitude). The system must correct for these effects to maintain meter-level accuracy. That is physics operating on a curved gravitational field around a roughly spherical Earth. A flat Earth model has no coherent replacement that reproduces working GPS at a global scale. DIY Measurements If you want a “you can do it yourself” measurement that doesn’t require trusting institutions, do this: travel north-south a few hundred miles and measure the angle of Polaris above the horizon using a simple inclinometer app or a homemade protractor and string. On a spherical Earth, that angle changes about one degree per 69 miles (111 km). That relationship is geometry of a sphere. It’s consistent, repeatable, and doesn’t care what anyone believes. Another DIY proof is to watch a lunar eclipse. The Earth’s shadow on the moon is always circular. A disk can cast a circular shadow only in special orientations, but a sphere casts a circular shadow from every orientation. If Earth were a flat disk, over time, across countless eclipses, you would not always see a round shadow. Yet you do. That’s not a photograph; it’s observable with your own eyes. The Importance of Perspective Also notice this: different observers can see different horizons simultaneously, and the angles to distant objects behave like they’re on a curved surface. Surveying and geodesy are built on this. Engineers correct for curvature on long projects, from canals to bridges to high-precision mapping. Not because of ideology, but because instruments and math demand it. Conclusion: The Call to Embrace Truth What’s the takeaway? The Earth isn’t “not flat” because NASA said so. The Earth isn’t flat because gravity, rotation, geometry, optics, astronomy, orbital mechanics, and relativity all agree. They agree in ways that generate working technologies and repeatable measurements. Flat Earth models survive only by rejecting large chunks of physics or inventing mechanisms that don’t produce the same predictive power. If someone wants to debate, here’s the honest standard: bring a flat model that simultaneously explains the horizon, gravity direction, latitude-dependent pendulum precession, Coriolis dynamics, seasons, polar day/night, lunar eclipses, and GPS timing. Not one or two. All of it, with equations and predictions that match measurements. That’s what real science demands. And when you hold both models to that standard, the result is not close. Update after releasing a video about a rescued astronaut being a Christian, many "Christians" commented about him being a liar and that any talk of space existing was fake. Many of these sincere folk adamantly believe that the Earth is flat. This is because there are verses in Scripture saying that the Earth has foundations and pillars. There are also verses saying that the Earth cannot be moved. That means that any talk of it being round or moving through space is a conspiratorial lie. For those who believe that those verses can only mean that we are on a flat Earth sitting on an unmovable foundation, here’s an experiment. See if you can move the Earth by jumping on it or somehow pushing it. It can’t be moved, just as the Bible says. “Examples of biblical metaphors include Jesus saying that He was the door (John 10:9), that He was bread (John 6:35), and that He was a grapevine (John 15:1). Other metaphors in the Bible are seen where God calls the earth His footstool (Isaiah 66:1) and where the Bible says God is the Rock (Deuteronomy 32:4).” The verses regarding pillars and foundations are clearly metaphoric. For those who may not know, a metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things, often by stating that one thing is actually another, rather than using the word “like.” “The world is a stage” is a metaphor. It expresses the idea that life is like a theatrical play, where people are actors playing different roles. This concept is articulated by William Shakespeare in As You Like It: “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts…” This means that life consists of different phases, much like scenes in a play. People adopt various roles throughout life—such as child, parent, worker, or leader—often influenced by circumstances beyond their control. It also suggests that much of human behavior is performance-like, shaped by societal expectations. Examples of biblical metaphors include Jesus saying that He was the door (John 10:9), that He was bread (John 6:35), and that He was a grapevine (John 15:1). Other metaphors in the Bible are seen where God calls the earth His footstool (Isaiah 66:1) and where the Bible says God is the Rock (Deuteronomy 32:4). The earth isn’t an actual footstool upon which God rests His feet. Neither is our Creator made of rock. Nor is Jesus a physical door that has hinges and opens and closes. He is not made of bread, nor is He an actual grapevine. These are obviously metaphorical statements, and so are the verses about the Earth having actual pillars and foundations. This wouldn’t be an issue if those who take these verses literally kept their beliefs to themselves. But many don’t. They insist on shouting it from the housetops—as though a flat Earth was the central doctrine of the gospel of salvation. How, then, can we expect an unbelieving world to trust in Jesus when they hear that the Earth is pancake flat and sits on super strong and massively heavy pillars that sit on nothing? And if the pillars sit on an enormously large foundation, what does that sit on? Such irrational beliefs make the Bible believer look like a fool, in the same category as someone who believes that the moon is made of cheese. And if you do think the moon is made of cheese, please keep it to yourself. THE FLAT EARTH DOCTRINE MAKES CHRISTIANS LOOK FOOLISH: I’m going to say this plainly. Flat earth isn’t biblical. It isn’t scientific. It isn’t hidden wisdom. It’s bad interpretation wrapped in conspiracy thinking, and Christians need to stop dragging the Bible into it. The Bible isn’t the problem. Bad Bible handling is the problem. God’s Word doesn’t need help from YouTube prophets, TikTok mathematicians, or men who think every pilot, sailor, astronomer, navigator, surveyor, airline company, shipping route, eclipse calculation, time zone, and weather system on earth is secretly part of one giant lie. That isn’t discernment. The earth is a sphere, more precisely an oblate spheroid, slightly wider at the equator because it rotates. This isn’t new information. Eratosthenes calculated the earth’s circumference more than 2,000 years ago using shadows, angles, and basic geometry. The math isn’t complicated. The earth’s circumference is about 24,901 miles. There are 360 degrees in a circle. 24,901 ÷ 360 = about 69.17 miles per degree. That means if you travel north or south about 69 miles, the stars shift by about one degree in the sky. And that’s exactly what happens. Polaris gets higher as you travel north and lower as you travel south. On a flat earth, that falls apart. Time zones destroy flat earth too. The earth rotates once every 24 hours. 360 degrees ÷ 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour. That’s why the sun rises and sets at different times across the world. It’s rotation. It’s measurable. It’s predictable. The horizon also proves curvature. A simple approximation is: Distance to horizon in miles = 1.22 × √height in feet If your eyes are 6 feet above sea level: √6 = 2.45 2.45 × 1.22 = about 3 miles That means your horizon is roughly 3 miles away. Climb higher, and you see farther. That’s why ships disappear bottom-first. That’s why mountains become visible from higher elevations. That’s why pilots see farther than people standing on the beach. Flat earth can’t explain that without inventing nonsense. The curve drop is simple too. A rough formula is: 8 inches per mile squared At 1 mile: about 8 inches. At 10 miles: about 800 inches, which is about 66 feet. At 20 miles: about 3,200 inches, which is about 267 feet. Yes, atmospheric refraction can bend light and slightly change what you see near the horizon. But refraction doesn’t erase the globe. It’s just another measurable part of the world God made. Then there are eclipses. A lunar eclipse happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon. The earth’s shadow on the moon is always round. Every time. From every angle. A flat disc doesn’t always cast a round shadow. A sphere does. Then there are the stars. In the northern hemisphere, stars rotate around Polaris. In the southern hemisphere, they rotate around the southern celestial pole. Different constellations are visible in different parts of the world. Australia doesn’t see the sky the same way Alaska does. That makes perfect sense on a globe. It makes no sense on a flat pizza map. Flight routes also destroy it. Southern hemisphere flights make sense on a globe. They become ridiculous on most flat earth maps. Shipping lanes, GPS, military navigation, airline fuel planning, satellite communication, weather tracking, undersea cable mapping, and long-distance surveying all operate on globe math every single day. Flat earth only survives by saying everybody is lying. That isn’t an argument. Now let’s talk about the Great Pyramid of Giza, because this is where flat earthers really step on their own rake. The Great Pyramid is incredible. No serious person has to deny that. Its original height was about 481 feet, and its base was roughly 756 feet per side, giving it a base perimeter around 3,024 feet. Now watch the math. Base perimeter: about 3,024 feet Original height: about 481 feet 3,024 ÷ 481 = about 6.28 And 2π = 6.28318 That means the pyramid’s perimeter-to-height ratio is extremely close to 2π. Why is that interesting? Because the circumference of a circle divided by its radius is 2π. So if the pyramid’s perimeter represents a circumference, then the pyramid’s height represents a radius..That’s a globe. The scale factor often discussed with the Great Pyramid is 43,200. 43,200. Take the pyramid’s base perimeter: 3,024 feet × 43,200 = 130,636,800 feet Now divide by feet in a mile: 130,636,800 ÷ 5,280 = about 24,742 miles The earth’s equatorial circumference is about 24,901 miles. That’s very, very close.. Now take the pyramid’s height: 481 feet × 43,200 = 20,779,200 feet Divide by 5,280: 20,779,200 ÷ 5,280 = about 3,935 miles The earth’s polar radius is about 3,950 miles. Again, very close. The Great Pyramid is actually giving us a globe, and it's math. Pretty interesting... If the builders encoded earth measurements into the pyramid, they weren’t encoding a dinner plate. They were encoding geometry that lines up with a globe. Don’t bring the Great Pyramid to a flat earth fight. It betrays you. It testifies for the globe. Now let’s deal with the Bible verses.. Flat earthers love to say, “The Bible says four corners of the earth.” Yes, it does. Isaiah 11:12 says: “And gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” That’s an idiom. We still say sunrise, sunset, the ends of the earth, and the four corners of the world. Nobody thinks the earth has literal corners. It’s normal human language. Revelation 7:1 says angels stand on the “four corners of the earth,” holding the “four winds.” Fine. Then be consistent. If “four corners” means a literal square earth, then “four winds” must mean only four literal winds exist. Nobody actually reads it that way because the language is symbolic and directional. North. South. East. West. Then they bring up “the circle of the earth.” Isaiah 40:22 says: “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth…” The Hebrew word is חוּג - chug. It can carry the idea of a circle, circuit, horizon, or compass. Flat earthers say, “See, a circle is flat.” But Isaiah isn’t giving a geometry lecture. He’s describing God enthroned above the earth in majestic language. And there’s a simple answer they ignore. From a distance, a sphere presents as a circle. Look at the moon. It appears as a circle, but it’s a sphere. Calling something a circle doesn’t prove a flat disc. Then they bring up the firmament. Genesis 1:6 says: “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters…” The Hebrew word is רָקִיעַ - raqia. It carries the idea of something spread out, stretched out, or extended. English translations handle it differently: firmament, expanse, sky, or heavens. But Genesis 1 isn’t teaching that we live under a metal snow globe. The same chapter says God put lights in the firmament of heaven for signs, seasons, days, and years. Genesis 1:14 says: “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night…” Then they bring up “foundations of the earth.” Psalm 104:5 says: “Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.” This isn’t saying the earth is sitting on concrete footings floating in space. God founded the earth. God established the earth. God governs creation. The same poetic books say mountains skip like rams, floods clap their hands, trees rejoice, and wisdom cries in the streets. You don’t read poetry like a shop manual. Then they bring up pillars. Job 9:6 says: “Which shakes the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.” So where are these literal pillars? What are they made of? Who drilled into one? The point is obvious. Scripture uses poetic, observational, and symbolic language. God speaks to man in language man can understand. Then they bring up “ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 says: “…and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Jesus wasn’t teaching geography has a hard edge people could fall off. He was commanding global witness. The Gospel goes to all nations. Not to the lip of a plate. Then they try Matthew 4, where Satan shows Jesus “all the kingdoms of the world.” Matthew 4:8 says: “Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world…” Flat earthers say, “See? You could only see all kingdoms from a high mountain if the earth were flat.” No. Just no. That was a supernatural temptation involving Satan showing Christ the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them. There’s no mountain tall enough on any model, flat or globe, where you can physically see every kingdom on earth with your eyeballs. Then they run to Greek words. They’ll mention γῆ - ge, meaning earth, land, or ground. They’ll mention οἰκουμένη - oikoumene, meaning the inhabited world. They’ll mention κόσμος - kosmos, meaning world, order, or world-system. None of those words teach flat earth. They describe land, the inhabited world, mankind, or the ordered world depending on context. Greek doesn’t rescue flat earth. Hebrew doesn’t rescue flat earth. Bad interpretation creates flat earth, then goes hunting for verses to baptize it. That’s backwards. The Bible is true. Flat earth is not. Christians need to be careful here because when we attach foolish claims to Scripture, unbelievers don’t only laugh at the claim. They laugh at the Bible we stapled it to. That’s the problem. When we make the Bible say something it doesn’t say, then defend it like doctrine, we hand mockers free ammunition. The Gospel is already offensive enough to the natural man. Christ crucified is already a stumblingblock. The resurrection is already supernatural. The virgin birth is already miraculous. Creation itself already points to the living God. We don’t need fake science and bad exegesis added to the pile. The Bible never commands me to believe the earth is flat. It commands me to believe Jesus Christ died for sinners, was buried, rose again the third day, and is coming again. That’s where I’m planting my flag. On Christ. Not a YouTube map. Not a fake dome. Not a conspiracy chart. Here’s the final nail: The math doesn’t support flat earth. Navigation doesn’t support flat earth. The stars don’t support flat earth. Eclipses don’t support flat earth. Time zones don’t support flat earth. Flight routes don’t support flat earth. The Great Pyramid doesn’t support flat earth. Hebrew doesn’t support flat earth. Greek doesn’t support flat earth. And the Bible doesn’t support flat earth. God made the heavens and the earth. That should make us worship Him deeper, not twist His Word into nonsense. Christians should be the clearest thinkers in the room because we know the Author of truth. So let’s stop making the faith look foolish. Believe the Bible. Handle it rightly. Preach Christ. Leave the pancake earth in the trash where it belongs.

The Truth About Waking Up at 3AM The truth about waking up at 3AM is that it is not always random. Sometimes it is the coffee you had too late, the glow of your phone before bed, or the weight of stress on your mind. But there are times when God Himself uses those quiet hours to get your attention. Sometimes it is not just our body. God is not interrupting you. He is inviting you. 1. God Wants Your Undivided Attention During the day, life is loud. By night, you are tired. But in the middle of the night, it is quiet. No phone buzzing, no noise, no distractions. Just you and Him. David wrote, “When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches” (Psalm 63:6). Job tells us that God speaks in dreams and visions while people sleep. The night hours can become holy ground if you open your heart. So if you find yourself awake at 3AM, do not brush it off. God may be calling for your attention. 2. God May Be Calling You to Intercession The Bible describes the night as divided into watches. Midnight to 3AM is the third watch. From 3AM to 6AM is the fourth. It was during this time that Jesus prayed and even walked on the water toward His disciples. Many believers sense that these hours carry heavy spiritual activity. If you are awake at this time, it could be the Lord asking you to pray. You might not know who or what it is for. Pray in the Spirit, pray in tongues, and let Him lead you. Often, later you may hear a story of someone who had a close call, a sudden crisis, or a breakthrough during the exact time you were praying. When you check your journal, you will see how often God used you to stand in the gap. The truth about waking up at 3AM is this. It may not be about you at all. It may be about someone else’s miracle. 3. You May Be in a Season of Transition Not every 3AM wake-up comes as an encounter. Sometimes it is the weight of change. It can be the stress of stepping into something new. Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.” What to Do When You Wake Up at 3AM If this keeps happening to you, here are a few things you can do: 1. Say, “Speak Lord, Your servant is listening.” This was Samuel’s response when God called him at night. 2. Write it down. Keep a journal or notepad by your bed. Do not lose what God speaks to you. 3. Pray. If a person or situation comes to mind, lift it up until the burden lifts. 4. Worship. If stress is keeping you up, put on quiet worship and rest in His presence. 5. Stay off your phone. Do not waste the moment scrolling. That time is set apart. The truth about waking up at 3AM is that God is likely drawing you closer. Proverbs 8:17 says, “I love those who love Me, and those who seek Me early shall find Me.” So next time it happens, don’t roll over and dismiss it. Lean in. God may be speaking to you in those quiet, dark hours.

Having worked & lived as a missionary in Eastern Europe & former Soviet Union before the fall of the Berlin Wall, I can see clearly what is happening today in most of the "Western" world & can't warn enough against this, especially when it has already infiltrated the church. A false gospel rooted in Marxism has gained massive popularity, placing increasing pressure on Christians. We sense this pressure in the rise of cancel culture, where Christians are being censored, fired, or arrested for upholding their biblical beliefs. We feel it in the prevalence of “woke” messages that label Christians as oppressors who must be silenced. We notice it in contemporary attacks on the family unit God designed. On every side, our culture’s open hostility toward anyone who dares to stand on truth is becoming unmistakable. Less obvious, perhaps, are the ways these cultural trends connect to the false gospel of Marxism. This false gospel repackages the core beliefs of nineteenth-century philosopher Karl Marx, who viewed history as the story of conflict between oppressor and oppressed classes. Instead of recognizing sin as the core problem behind suffering, oppression, and alienation, Marx viewed certain socioeconomic conditions as the problem. The solution, he thought, was revolution: oppressed workers needed to revolt against wealthy business owners, take over the means of producing consumer goods, and establish a communist society. When this revolution did not unfold the way Marx predicted, “Neo-Marxists” expanded on Marx’s ideas. Like Marx, Neo-Marxists believe that society consists of oppressors and the oppressed who must take power from their oppressors. While Marx labeled the wealthy as oppressors, Neo-Marxists extend this label to other social groups including Christians, males, light-skinned people, heterosexuals, able-bodied people, and individuals born in “colonialist” countries. Neo-Marxism prejudges people as oppressors based not on personal character, actions, or attitudes, but on group identity traits including gender, income, and skin tone. Any means of disempowering people who possess these traits can count, in Neo-Marxist thinking, as “social justice.” Because Neo-Marxism hijacks, redefines, and repurposes biblical terms like justice, certain Neo-Marxist messages have effectively infiltrated church circles. Christians need to understand how these messages rest on a false gospel. What are the main tenets of this false gospel, and how do they contradict God’s Word? Seven Major Conflicts Between God’s Word and Marxism Let’s begin by looking at several issues through the lens of a Biblical worldview: Human origins — God supernaturally created humans in his image (Genesis 1:26–27). Human nature — Humans are created (Genesis 2:7, 21–23; Psalm 100:3). Identity — Identity primarily defined by and rooted in Christ (Galatians 3:28). Human marriage and family — God ordained marriage between a husband and wife as part of his very good design for creation and as the basis for raising and discipling children. The family is the foundational unit of society (Deuteronomy 6:7; Matthew 19:4–5). Humanity’s core problem — The problem comes down to sin (Genesis 2:17 and 3:1–24; Romans 5:12). Guilt — Guilt is based on sin against God. All people are guilty by nature before God, apart from Christ (Psalm 53:3; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:10). Humanity’s hope of redemption — Salvation is found only in Jesus (Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9). Truth — Truth is objective. God is the source of and authority for truth (John 14:6, 17:17). Morality — The standard and foundation for morality is God’s character. Morals can be known through God’s Word and God’s law written on our consciousness (Psalm 119:68; Romans 2:15). Now let’s look at these same issues through the lens of a Marxist (or Neo-Marxist) View: Human origins — Humans arose through natural processes. Human nature — Humans are primarily creators. Identity — Identity primarily defined by and rooted in certain traits (gender, income, skin tone, etc.). Human marriage and family — Marriage and family are pillars of an oppressive social system and need to be redefined, manipulated, or abolished. Humanity’s core problem — The problem comes down to economic or cultural conditions. Guilt — Guilt is based on identity. People with “oppressor” identities are automatically guilty and cannot help being evil; people with “oppressed” identities are automatically innocent and can do no evil. Humanity’s hope of redemption — Salvation is found only through continual revolution. Truth — Truth is subjective. The feelings and lived experience of the oppressed are the authority for truth. Morality — The standard for morality is whatever tilts the power balance in favor of the oppressed. Be encouraged: as the pressure against Christians increases, God’s Word gives us answers to stand on his truth rather than compromise with false teaching. Colossians 2:8 states, “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.”

It is about obedience. I am premillennial, pre-tribulational, and dispensational in my convictions. I believe Christ could return at any moment. Yet that belief does not lessen my obligation to confront injustice. If anything, it intensifies it. If Christ may return at any moment to reckon with His servants, then I ought to be all the more urgent in doing His business faithfully. In Luke 19:13, Christ gives a command to His servants: “Occupy till I come.” The Greek word used there carries the idea of conducting business, administering affairs, stewarding responsibility, and increasing what has been entrusted. More importantly, the phrase is given as an imperative. Christ is not offering optional advice to unusually passionate believers. He is issuing a command to all His servants. Do business until I come. Not: speculate until I come, retreat until I come, wait passively until I come, or build elaborate systems explaining why obedience can wait until I come. Occupy until I come. This is where many Christians across eschatological camps stumble in opposite directions. Premillennial Christians can sometimes drift into escapism. They become so focused on being “caught up” that they neglect the stewardship Christ has already placed in their hands. The imminent return of Christ becomes an excuse for disengagement rather than urgency. Meanwhile, postmillennial and amillennial Christians can drift into a different danger. Because they believe victory is inevitable in history, they may slowly lose urgency in the present. The expectation of eventual triumph can subtly produce complacency. But both errors arrive at the same place: neglecting Christ’s commands. In the parable of the minas, the wicked servant was not condemned for having incorrect prophetic charts. He was condemned because he buried what his master entrusted to him instead of faithfully stewarding it. That should sober every Christian regardless of millennial position. Our eschatology does not change our Christian duty. The same Scriptures that teach Christ will return in glory are the same Scriptures commanding us to love our neighbour, preach the gospel, defend the innocent, confront evil, and obey God without compromise. Abolitionism is not fundamentally an eschatological system. It is Christianity applied to our preborn neighbour. The child in the womb does not suddenly stop bearing God’s image because a Christian holds to premillennialism. The command “You shall not murder” does not disappear because someone is dispensational. The obligation to defend those being led to the slaughter is not suspended until after the millennium is sorted out. Christian duty remains. Far too often, Christians use theology as a mechanism for delay. But throughout Scripture, eschatology is never presented as an excuse for inactivity. It is presented as motivation for faithfulness. Christ repeatedly ties His return to stewardship. Will He find faithfulness when He comes? Will He find His servants conducting His business? Will He find His ambassadors faithfully representing His kingdom? The Christian is not called to calculate how little obedience is necessary before Christ returns. The Christian is called to obey until the very end. And that includes how we respond to the slaughter of our preborn neighbour. The irony is that Christians who believe Christ is returning soon should be among the most urgent people on earth. If we truly believe the King may arrive at any moment to reckon with His servants, then we ought to be urgently engaged in His business. Not retreating. Not hiding. Not delaying. Occupying.

One of the most persistent accusations levelled against Israel and the Jewish people is that they “stole Arab land.” This claim has become a cornerstone of modern anti-Zionist rhetoric and is frequently repeated as an unquestioned moral premise in international discourse. Yet when examined historically, the accusation collapses. Far from reflecting the actual sequence of events, it inverts the historical record and obscures a far more complex — and uncomfortable — truth. We combat lies about Israel with truth and logic. In this case I put forward historical facts; I could also argue from a biblical perspective but will refrain from that in this article. The narrative of Jewish land theft was largely constructed in the mid-20th century by a convergence of Soviet “zionology,” Arab nationalist propaganda, and later Palestinianist activism. Its purpose was not historical clarity but political delegitimisation: to portray the Jewish state as a colonial usurper rather than as the product of indigenous return, legal land purchase, and survival in the face of aggression. When history is examined chronologically, it becomes evident that the largest and most systematic land thefts in the region were perpetrated not by Jews against Arabs, but by Arab nationalists and Islamist regimes against Jewish communities — both in the Land of Israel and throughout the wider Muslim world. Jewish Presence and Dispossession Before 1948 Long before the establishment of the State of Israel, Jews lived continuously in cities such as Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, Tiberias, and Gaza. These were not European colonies or modern “settlements,” but ancient communities rooted in the land for many centuries, and in many cases millennia. In 1929 — nearly two decades before Israel’s independence and almost forty years before any Jewish settlement activity in what is now called Area C of the West Bank — Arab nationalist violence led to the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Hebron and Gaza. In Hebron, a Jewish community that traced its presence back thousands of years was massacred and expelled. Survivors were forcibly removed, and their homes and property were lost. In Gaza, Jews were likewise driven out under threat of violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3MO7dJpsdI These expulsions were not the result of war with a Jewish state, nor of territorial disputes over sovereignty. They occurred under British rule and were motivated by rising Arab nationalism and religious incitement against Jews as Jews. The land vacated by these expelled Jewish communities was not “returned” later — it was violently taken by Arabs. The 1948 War and Arab Initiated Displacement The 1948 Arab-Israeli War is often portrayed as a story of unilateral Jewish aggression and Arab victimhood. In reality, the war began when five Arab armies invaded the newly declared State of Israel with the explicit aim of destroying it. Arab leaders made clear their intention to prevent any form of Jewish sovereignty in the region. It was this war — initiated by Arab states — that led to the displacement of many Arab residents of Mandatory Palestine. Some fled active combat zones, some were urged to leave temporarily by Arab leaders who promised a swift victory, and others were expelled while fighting. However tragic these displacements were, they were the result of a war launched by the Arab side, not an unprovoked campaign of ethnic cleansing by Jews. At the same time, far less attention is paid to what happened to Jewish communities in the territories conquered by Arab forces. Jordan’s Illegal Occupation of Judea and Samaria When the Arab Legion of Transjordan invaded Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) in 1948, it completed the ethnic cleansing that had begun earlier. Every Jewish community in the region was destroyed or expelled. Jews who had lived for generations in places such as Gush Etzion, the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, and other towns were forcibly removed. Some were killed; the rest were expelled. By the end of Jordan’s invasion, not a single Jew remained in Judea and Samaria. Their land, homes, synagogues, and cemeteries were confiscated or destroyed. The Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem — an area literally named for its Jewish inhabitants — was depopulated of Jews, its synagogues demolished, and the area rebranded under Jordanian rule. This occupation, which lasted from 1948 to 1967, was never internationally recognised as legal. Yet during this period, Jews were barred entirely from living in or even visiting their holy sites, including the Western Wall. If land theft is to be identified, it is difficult to find a clearer example. The Mass Expulsion of Jews from the Muslim World Perhaps the greatest act of collective land theft and ethnic cleansing in the modern Middle East occurred not in Israel at all, but across the broader Muslim world. In the years following Israel’s independence, approximately 850,000 to one million Jews were expelled or forced to flee from Arab and Muslim-majority countries. These Jews — Sephardic, Mizrahi, Persian, and Babylonian — had lived in places such as Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and North Africa for centuries, often long before the Arab Islamic conquests. In Iraq alone, Jews had lived continuously since the Babylonian Exile more than 2,500 years ago. A century ago, roughly one-third of Baghdad’s population was Jewish, as was a significant portion of Mosul’s. In 1950–51, the Iraqi government passed laws stripping Jews of citizenship, confiscating their property, freezing their assets, and legalising their expulsion. Homes, businesses, synagogues, and communal property were seized by the state. Similar processes unfolded across the Arab world. This was not accidental displacement — it was systematic, state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing carried out as collective punishment for Arab defeat in the 1947–48 war. The descendants of these refugees today make up a substantial portion — indeed, a majority — of Israel’s Jewish population. A Telling Demographic Contrast One fact alone exposes the moral inversion at the heart of the “stolen land” accusation: today, there are more Arab citizens of Israel living with full civil rights than there are Jews left in the entire Muslim world. Arab Israelis vote, serve in parliament, sit on the Supreme Court, work in every sector of society, and retain citizenship in their ancestral homeland. By contrast, ancient Jewish communities across the Middle East have been virtually erased. If Israel were truly engaged in ethnic cleansing or systematic land theft, this demographic reality would be impossible. Conclusion: History Turned Upside Down The claim that Jews “stole Arab land” is not a conclusion derived from history — it is a political slogan imposed upon it. When the historical record is examined honestly, a very different picture emerges: one in which Jewish communities were repeatedly dispossessed, expelled, and stripped of land long before and long after Israel’s independence. None of this denies the suffering of Arab refugees or the complexity of the conflict. But historical honesty demands symmetry and accuracy. The Middle East did not witness a one-sided act of dispossession; it witnessed a regional war, followed by the near-total erasure of Jewish life from lands where it had existed for millennia. To speak of stolen land without acknowledging this history is not merely selective — it is a profound distortion of reality. Finally, I am a Zionist! What does that mean? Simply: Zionism is a movement for (originally) the re-establishment and (now) the development and protection of a Jewish nation in their traditional homeland of Eretz Israel. We all should be Zionists.

The Common Thread Here is how nations and institutions are lost. History shows it is often a predictable, step-by-step process. This pattern applies to Islam and to modern liberalism alike. For our purposes, I will outline the strategy historically used to advance Islam and to bring entire societies under Islamic rule. I am not speaking of cultural Muslims, but of radicalized Islam, which is driven by the goal of domination. 1. INFILTRATE Immigration has become the primary means by which Islamists gain access to non-Muslim nations. Historically, Islam expanded by the sword. In more recent times—Europe being the clearest example—the strategy has shifted. Large-scale immigration replaces open conquest. 2. POPULATE Once established, rather than integrating into the host culture, enclaves are formed. More wives are imported. Through polygamy and high birth rates, Islamic populations grow rapidly, often outpacing the native population. 3. AGITATE Millions of Muslims live on public assistance, which affords time and resources to protest, march, and wave foreign flags in our streets. The Muslim call to prayer—once unthinkable in the West—is now openly broadcast in places like Michigan and New York City. Empty-minded liberals celebrate this as “diversity,” when in reality it is an enemy assault. 4. CONTAMINATE Democracy was uniquely sustained by Christian peoples who governed themselves with shared moral assumptions. Free nations cannot survive without common language, customs, values, and secure borders. Islam is not merely a religion; it is a totalizing revolutionary worldview, historically rooted in conquest and submission. 5. SUBORDINATE Intimidation is the means of subjugation. The intentions are no longer hidden. Recent protests—such as those in Michigan—openly denounce America and call for Sharia law. I have long wondered why the United States uses its military to defend Saudi Arabia, a nation where Bibles are forbidden and Christianity is illegal? 6. DOMINATE Why did Christianity disappear from the Middle East? The answer is tragically simple. Christians were persecuted, driven out, and murdered. But the crisis to our nation does not end with external threats. We also face homegrown anarchists who despise the nation they inhabit. Liberals, socialist Democrats, and what some have aptly described as “crazy white women” have come out of hiding, openly declaring their contempt for the West as it was founded. Roughly half the population now rejects biblical morality outright. In many palce abortion has been allowed by law up to the moment of birth. Nations that willingly sacrifice their children will not merely experience judgment—they are already deeply under the judgment of God. The restraints of conscience have been severed. An apostatized Church bears enormous responsibility for this collapse and move toward secularism. When the Gospel was removed from pulpits-God abandoned those congregations. The absence of biblical preaching gave way to strong delusion. With no power to transform hearts, religionists drifted into social activism, abandoning the proclamation of Christ and Him crucified. Scores of these churches now openly denounce the truths they were founded upon. So here we are. Yet God still calls His remnant people to proclaim truth as it is, to people as they are. Hear this clearly: If you will not stand for truth in your local church, you will never stand for God in society. Many evangelical churches have already been infiltrated, contaminated, and are now dominated by anti-Christian beliefs, practices, and leaders. Few examples are more pungent than the United Methodist Church and its descent into open depravity. If you find this offensive, I urge you to study history. This pattern is neither new nor unique. It has been repeated again and again. The strategy is proven. The trajectory is clear. There is only one antidote to this destructive onslaught: repentance, revival and reformation. "Arab-Muslim colonization" 1400 years... 170 million murdered But little Israel is the "colonizer" ?? Another day. Another protest. Are you sick of them yet? I can see that hate speech laws are really working.......towards those who oppose Islam & this kind of hate & do not want the conflicts of this world on Australian soil: The are called bigots & racists. https://www.facebook.com/reel/953328794216191 A former Islamist extremist explains why he previously supported leftist politics. He argues that radicals view the Left’s lack of traditional religious values as a tactical advantage, allowing them to focus on secular issues like climate and abortion while the extremists maintain their own strict internal agendas.

Is there not a better person to explain the misconceptions & lies about the so-called "Palestine", than the "Son of Hamas" or "The Green Prince" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/r_3pg3Z67HU https://aristotlefoundation.org/columns/what-a-hamas-founders-son-thinks-of-hamas-gaza-jews-and-israel/ Mosab Hassan Yousef is an American author and former militant who defected to Israel in 1997, thereafter working as an Israeli spy for the Shin Bet until he moved to the United States in 2007. His father is Hassan Yousef, a co-founder of the Palestinian Islamist organisation Hamas. A New York Times bestselling author, he is known for his outspoken criticisms of Hamas, the pro-Palestinian movement and Islam's treatment of non-Muslims. The Shin Bet considered Yousef to be Israel's most valuable source within the Hamas leadership: the information he supplied allowed Israel to successfully thwart dozens of Palestinian suicide attacks against civilians and prevent the assassinations of many Israeli civilians and soldiers; exposed numerous Hamas cells; and assisted Israeli authorities in hunting down Palestinian militants. His efforts also culminated in the incarceration of his father, who had served as a leading figure for Hamas operations from the West Bank. In March 2010, Yousef published his autobiography, titled Son of Hamas. In 1999, Yousef converted from Islam to Christianity, being formally baptised in 2004, but did not disclose this fact to the public until 2008 due to fears that his family members in Ramallah would become targets for religious persecution by Islamist groups. In 2007, he left the West Bank and moved to the United States where he applied for political asylum and had his request granted by American authorities in 2010 following Shin Bet handler Gonen Ben Itzhak testifying on his behalf.
