17 Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.

Wait a minute, here, ... where did all these other people come from? God only created Adam and Eve, and they had two kids, buried one and loses the other to the land of Nod.

But this is not all about these right-wingers that doesn't pass the Biblical smell test. The right-wingers call themselves "BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS." They usually pronounce it "borned again Christian." But that is not at all Biblical.

# John 3:3
In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. "
John 3:2-4 (in Context) John 3 (Whole Chapter)

# John 3:7
You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
John 3:6-8 (in Context) John 3 (Whole Chapter)

# 1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

Acts 11:26
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

Read over those Scriptures. The phrase "Born-Again Christian" is never used in The Bible. It is a bastardization of the Word as written. Taking a few Scriptures here and a few there, then put them together and call them a Biblical truth. It is not truthful at all.

Have you heard of "prayer language?" Here again is another example of what I call, Scripture "bastardization." Back in Oral Roberts' day, speaking in tongues referred to the speaking in an unknown tongue and had to be instantly "interpreted." Been at churches where this happened, ... or was faked! It simply not Biblical, and they finally realized that. So, in the 2000 Christianity, it is now referred to as a prayer language. No interpretation needed. A prayer of a Christian in a tongue of angels that only Jesus can understand. Toby Keith has a song out where he calls for his "better angels."  Hmm? I didn't know there were lesser angles. Christian who believe everyone has a guardian angel, would take umbrage over that. But dig this.

Romans 8:26
And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Wait a minute. What does that say? We do not even have to pray out loud, because ... well, ... we don't have to. God hears and knows our needs, even before we pray. Man are orally challenged people lucky.

It is fun studying The Bible. Especially now, with all the study helps on the Internet! The Old Testament IS the history of the Jewish people. Did you notice the rivers Euphrates and Tigris in Genesis? Disbelievers, like Kitchens and Maher, hate The Bible and consider it all fiction. But yet, ... geographically and historically in the Old Testament, the kings and queens were real and rivers, mountain ranges, and other geographic descriptions are "right-on, ... even today.

So, the best way to deal with right-wing Christians, is by taking them to The Bible. The 14th commandment is, "Thou shalt not be afraid to take thy sword (your Bible) out with a right-winger."

I hope all of you had the opportunity to watch Christiane Amanpour Reports, "God's Warrior," on CNN, but if you didn't get to see it, it will be rebroadcast. I'm going to burn it; it is that good.

Most of these right-wing Christians (?) believe in a "God who blesses Christians with material blessings." Luckily they weren't born in Haiti.  Jesus didn't even have a mortgage! But dig this!

2 Kings 5:1-27 (Darby Translation)
This about Elisha! A great prophet of God. With my beard and hair, sometimes I even FEEL like Elisha!


Namaan had leprosy. A king who couldn't leave his castle. Lepers were considered unclean and were despised by the people. So dig this!

9 And Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha.

10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
