So if you Google " Superman Jewish" you'll find more links but it seems that from the horses mouth, that simple Comic which has been turned into Cartoons, Movies and the like is really a Metaphor for Jews.

<br />
I am a Racist because I am a White British English person with many generations of existence in this country, and because of this I have a stake in deciding whether or not I would like this country to remain decent in any manor without other peoples (especially Jews) trying to meddle with it.<br />
<br />
I am a Racist because I would like to put the interests of my people in front of others. Non whites as well as non Christians seem to have their Organisations who advocate explicitly on their behalf and so I support the same thing for us.<br />
<br />
I am Racist because I refuse to apologise for any supposed Human Rights violations mine have inflicted on others even though they were doing it to themselves anyway.<br />
<br />
I am Racist because I acknowledge our histories technological superiority that others did not conceive of until we got there.<br />
<br />
I am Racist because I don't think non Whites should get any preferential treatment in the realm of employment, housing, schooling or any other public services.<br />

<br />
Mark 1:<em> <span class="text Mark-1-4" id="en-RSV-24214"><sup class="versenum">4 </sup>John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. </span> <span class="text Mark-1-5" id="en-RSV-24215"><sup class="versenum">5 </sup>And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. </span> <span class="text Mark-1-6" id="en-RSV-24216"><sup class="versenum">6 </sup>Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey. </span> <span class="text Mark-1-7" id="en-RSV-24217"><sup class="versenum">7 </sup>And he preached, saying,<strong> </strong>“After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. </span> <span class="text Mark-1-8" id="en-RSV-24218"><sup class="versenum">8<strong> </strong></sup><strong>I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”</strong></span></em><br />
<em><strong><span class="text Mark-1-8"></span></strong></em><br />
<span class="text Mark-1-8">The bold part is where John says that the Baptism authority will be given over to someone greater than him. Jesus is the Baptizer and he will Baptize those who believe after thay have repented from their Sins.</span><br />
<span class="text Mark-1-8"></span><br />
<span class="text Mark-1-8">In Jesus name Amen.</span><br />

Mark 12: <em><span class="text Mark-12-28" id="en-RSV-24692"><sup class="versenum">28 </sup>And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” </span> <span class="text Mark-12-29" id="en-RSV-24693"><sup class="versenum">29 </sup>Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; </span> <span class="text Mark-12-30" id="en-RSV-24694"><sup class="versenum">30 </sup>and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ </span> <span class="text Mark-12-31" id="en-RSV-24695"><sup class="versenum">31 </sup>The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” </span> <span class="text Mark-12-32" id="en-RSV-24696"><sup class="versenum">32 </sup>And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; </span> <span class="text Mark-12-33" id="en-RSV-24697"><sup class="versenum">33 </sup>and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” </span> <span class="text Mark-12-34" id="en-RSV-24698"><sup class="versenum">34 </sup>And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any question.</span></em><br />
<span class="text Mark-12-34"></span><br />
<span class="text Mark-12-34">I guess he was the first of them to answer something correctly.</span><br />

Many people today pray to somone, or tries to talk to someone who is dead, be it their deceased Mother or the Mother of Christ they are never capable of answering us in the book of Isaiah we are told that Abraham and Israel (Jacob renamed Israel, Genesis 35:10 <em>God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.” So he named him Israel.)</em> does not acknowledge us, because they are incapable of doing so, if you pray to one who is dead you're basically treating them is they were Omnipresent and Omniscience.<br />
<br />
Isaiah 63:16<br />
For you are our Father, <strong>though Abraham does not know us, </strong><br />
<strong>and Israel does not acknowledge us</strong>; you, O <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.<br />
<br />
Please do not be fooled by the traditions of men, do not get involved in Pagan customs make sure you question your Pastor or anyone else who tells you to pray to the dead because this is a dangerous path to take especially if you're Christian because you are robbing God and Jesus of their Honor.<br />

Paid off the 2 Roman guards who were near the tomb <strong><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 0; vertical-align: super;">11 </span>While the women were on their way, some of the guards </strong><strong>went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. </strong><a data-datatype=""bible+niv"" data-reference=""Matthew 28:12"" href="http://www.blogger.com/null" rel="milestone" style="display: inline-block; height: 1em; width: 0px;"></a><strong><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 0; vertical-align: super;">12 </span>When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, </strong><a data-datatype=""bible+niv"" data-reference=""Matthew 28:13"" href="http://www.blogger.com/null" rel="milestone" style="display: inline-block; height: 1em; width: 0px;"></a><strong><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 0; vertical-align: super;">13 </span>telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away </strong><strong>while we were asleep.’ </strong>then they would try to cover their deception up by distracting Pilate <a data-datatype=""bible+niv"" data-reference=""Matthew 28:14"" href="http://www.blogger.com/null" rel="milestone" style="display: inline-block; height: 1em; width: 0px;"><strong></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 0; vertical-align: super;">14 </span>If this report gets to the governor, </strong><strong>we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”</strong> and of course the Guards took the bribe. <a data-datatype=""bible+niv"" data-reference=""Matthew 28:15"" href="http://www.blogger.com/null" rel="milestone" style="display: inline-block; height: 1em; width: 0px;"><strong></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 0; vertical-align: super;">15 </span>So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day. </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
So when we are questioned by unbelieves about whether or not Jesus body was taken away rather than gone to Heaven we sould quote this small passage.<br />

In order for us to know when Jesus will come if directly from his own words.<br />
<br />
Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,<sup> </sup>but only the Father"<br />
<br />
Jesus continues to expand on this issue by giving us more descriptions of us not knowing when something is supposed to happen, he continues up until verse 51 and the chapter.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> Ok so from these passages we can see that the modern Jews who are from their Pharisee traditions (originators of Judaism) make all the Old and New Testament laws of none effect meaning they don't obey the OT or NT laws so all you Judeo "Christians" need to recieve Jesus properly and stop worshipping Jewish people for you are not Christians no matter how many times you say Jesus' name you are Idol worshippers and you refuse to see what they teach not just about Jesus but you aswell.</span></h2>

Non Israelite woman recieves Jesus. <span class="text Matt-15-21" id="en-KJV-23655"><sup class="versenum"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes I get the feeling that Christian Identity and it's relationship with identifying the modern blood descendants of the Israelites (white anglo-saxon, Germanic, Scandanavian and their kindred peoples) is exclusive and that other peoples are not going to or can be able to inherit the Kingdom and the promises therin, well I found this particular parable from the Gospel of Matthew in which Jesus is begged by a non Israelite woman for his help and he rejects her until she figures out what the parable meant then he gives her his blessing and I'm quite sure that non israelites (by blood descendants) are able to inherit the kingdom because of it.</span></sup></span><br />

<span class="text Matt-15-28"></span><br />
The Book of Mark has the same sort of passage Mark 7:25-30<br />
<span class="text Mark-7-25" id="en-KJV-24489"><em><sup class="versenum">25 </sup>For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:</em></span><br />

<br />
<br />
Here are a few more quotes from Jesus to take into consideration.<br />
"<em>For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is
outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is
that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from
men but from God</em>" (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 2.28-29" data-version="nkjv" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/Romans%202.28-29" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2288bb;">Romans 2:28-29</span></a>).
<br />
"<em>But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. <strong>For they are
not all Israel who are of Israel</strong>, nor are they all children because they are the
seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called." That is, those who
are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the
children of the promise are counted as the seed</em>" (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 9.6-8" data-version="nkjv" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/Romans%209.6-8" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2288bb;">Romans 9:6-8</span></a>).
<br />
"<em>Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that
the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law,
but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us
all</em>" (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Romans 4.16" data-version="nkjv" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/Romans%204.16" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2288bb;">Romans 4:16</span></a>). <br />
"<em>For
you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are
all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise</em>" (<a class="lbsBibleRef" data-reference="Galatians 3.27-29" data-version="nkjv" href="http://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/Galatians%203.27-29" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2288bb;">Galatians
3:27-29</span></a>).<br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-15-28">So from here we could conclude that Non israelites (by blood) can recieve the promises.</span><br />
<span class="text Matt-15-28"></span><br />
<span class="text Matt-15-28">In the name of Jesus, AMEN.</span>MadRichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18072555358542922064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693156035966623363.post-41669296156961457162013-02-28T14:50:00.001-08:002013-03-02T14:44:21.386-08:00Jesus, The Pharisees and signsI remember quite a long time ago when I has false repentance I would often ask The most high for a sign and tell him to let me know he was watching and in The Gospel of Matthew 16:1-4 the Pharisees also ask Jesus to show them signs trying to test Jesus but Jesus rebukes them by saying; <br />
<br />
<div class="chapter-2">
<span class="text Matt-16-1" id="en-KJV-23674"><em><span class="chapternum">16 :1 </span>The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.</em></span></div>
<em> </em><br />
<span class="text Matt-16-2" id="en-KJV-23675"><em><sup class="versenum">2 </sup>He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.</em></span><br />
<em> </em><br />
<span class="text Matt-16-3" id="en-KJV-23676"><em><sup class="versenum">3 </sup>And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?</em></span><br />
<em> </em><br />
<span class="text Matt-16-4" id="en-KJV-23677"><em><sup class="versenum">4 </sup>A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.</em></span><br />
<span class="text Mark-8-11" id="en-KJV-24512"><sup class="versenum"></sup></span><br />
<span class="text Mark-8-11"><sup class="versenum"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Mark 8:11-12</strong></span></sup></span><br />
<span class="text Mark-8-11"><em><sup class="versenum">11 </sup>And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.</em></span><br />
<em> </em><br />
<span class="text Mark-8-12" id="en-KJV-24513"><em><sup class="versenum">12 </sup>And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.</em></span><br />
<span class="text Mark-8-12"></span><br />
<span class="text Mark-8-12"></span><br />
So we can see that the signs believers will be given isnt the sign as to say "words in the sky" but rather prophecies coming to life in the world for instance the Gospel of Luke 12:53<span class="text Luke-12-53" id="en-KJV-25513"><em><sup class="versenum">53 </sup>The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law</em>. W</span>e can see this "sign" coming to life seeing all the dysfunctional families that exist today, this is a sign that the word is true not signs written in the sky or given to us in dreams.<br />
<br />
So basically never ask the Lord for signs.MadRichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18072555358542922064noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693156035966623363.post-24462820273004274362013-02-28T14:33:00.002-08:002013-02-28T14:33:54.468-08:00Jesus calls the Pharisees Children of Hell.Ok so from The Gospel of Matthew chapter 23 verse 1-15 we can see Jesus scorning the Pharisees finishing with verse 15 where he calls them "Children of Hell".<br />

Of primary concern is the knowledge that there are 25 convicted paedophiles behind bars having had positions with the Labour Party. How many more remain free as the Labour Party ignores the infection in their ranks.<br />
It is said that ignorance is bliss and perhaps Labour lives this ‘bliss’ for a reason. It was the Labour Government that introduced explicit sex education for 5 year olds. Acceptances of homosexuality material also aim at primary school children. Are these grooming tactics brought into the curriculum by the Labour party.<br />
We are here to ask the difficult questions. We are very concerned about what is happening to our children. Are paedophiles really becoming a protected species. We intend to uncover and inform.</div>

constant. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Orthodox
Judaism </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">is the
source of much of what is wrong with Churchianity, as opposed to the Gospel of
Jesus Christ as practiced by the true Church for more than a thousand years
before the modern era. Orthodox Judaism is the enemy of the Bible. Until you
understand these truths you will dwell in abject confusion. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Orthodox
Judaism </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">despises
and distorts, nullifies and degrades, the Word of God. All claims that the
rabbinic traditions and sacred texts in any way enhance or explain the Bible,
are delusions. </span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
elders of Israel turned aside from the true God and fell to idolatry in
Jerusalem (Ezekiel 8:11-18), and then entering into Babylon, they brought their
idols with them in their hearts. They would not let go of their idols. They saw
many of their brethren in captivity for that sin, they heard Ezekiel prophesy
against their practices and those who upheld them in it. They knew that
Nebuchadnezzar had no good will toward them, yet idol worship was firmly
entrenched in their hearts. When idols get into Bethel, God's house, it is
extremely difficult to remove them; but when they get into the hearts of men,
they become immovable. To this day, the rabbis hold fast to their barbarous
occult superstitions and idolatrous practices, notwithstanding all the judgments
of God which have come upon them. The Talmudists are very tenacious of their
chief idol,<i> themselves</i>. Millions of "Christians" esteem Judaism and
consequently have become co-idolaters with them. They mock God, thereby. But God
is not mocked! </span><br /><b><b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></b></b></b></span></span></span></div>

Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. Now it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. ... </div>

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” And Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. ... </div>

And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” ... </div>
