I'm Calling You Out!

I have brought these comments up from the "Ragged Old Flag" post. I have been watching and I see there has been an exchange between the two of you for sometime now. I hope this helps both of you out. :-)

Anonymous #1-In response to this poster below and because I can't hide in my house forever trying to escape the circus that has become known as Christmas. Seeing all the empty-looking shoppers out collecting their hoardes of goodies as gifts for what reason again? This person who posted this a ways down on a different thread has missed the boat and I'm hear to call them on it:

America is a very young country. We have been blessed by our Father in heaven. When we kicked Him out of everything public, His blessings have been diminishing over the years. You are upset and seek defense of a nation of people that seek to destroy not only us but also the nation of Israel, tiny little Israel, Israel that I might add that JFK loved. Israel that is one of our true allies. You may be singing your Christmas carols or holiday songs. You may have decorated you holiday tree and gone shopping many times to buy presents. Do you understand the free gift given by the Almighty. He sent His son to die for us so that we would be saved. Appeasement and goodness that we think we own does not make one saved in His eyes. Because you cry out for justice for a people who do not believe in Him, will not get you any points with Him. He doesn't work that way. "O' Holy Night" is about the birth of the Savior. "Joy To The World" is about His second coming. Do you ever listen to the words of either. So you who think that our American will never suffer, think again. Remember Nazi, Germany, the acts of terrorizm and hatred toward the Jews? So you think that nothing could ever happen in America? You just said yourself that there are well over 1,000,000,000 Muslims, many live right here. Why didn't the good German people try and stop what was going on over 60 years ago? The Muslims will place their faith not with America but with the radicals that brainwash their youth and demonstrate death to America. It is not business as usual. Nothing is as it will ever be again. I have never listened to any government form of propaganda that you propose. I get my information of the truth from not the "good book" as you have stated but from the "Holy Bible". It is the Alpha and Omega, it doesn't lie, it doesn't play favorites, it doesn't change, it keeps it's promises, it doesn't seek to show goodness and it is the word of God. It has the answers for you about the Middle East and about Europe and Israel, Syria, Iraq. Isn't it curious is what you said below. No, I'm just watching to see what will happen next. I've been satisfied with knowing what will happen. With all your purported wisdom and your handle on the world and it's issues, you'd think that you would be devouring God's word. Remember "Blessed is he who reads these words".

exactly 11:30, what you said, "rest of us will have to live with the revelation of what has been told to us"

While you delve into religious wording, i assume your sentence deals with muslim extremism you mentioned earlier. For a website that is very suspect of the powers that be, why swallow whole what the feds tell you?

Isn't curious that the same people who greatly exaggerated the threat of the Soviet Union in the 1980s are back in power? They lied to us then, why do you not think they are lying to us now?

Furthermore, thanks for proving my point about people living in fear, "Our America is heading for a disaster. It has already struck our morals and seeks to destroy everything that this country was founded on."

Futhermore, your xenophobia is overwhelming. "muslim's are the biggest threat we Americans have." If you truly belive that, that all +1,000,000,000 muslims are threatening America, then the terrorists have already won.

The eve of Christmas Eve

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: December 23, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern




When I was a kid, Christmas was just about the biggest deal in the whole wide world.
As Jean Shepherd, the screenwriter of "A Christmas Story," would say, the entire annual calendar of kid-dom revolved around this holiday.

We'd start thinking about it in September. By Thanksgiving, there was a feeling of imminent inevitability. Hysteria began to set in by Dec. 1.

We didn't just celebrate Christmas. Christmas Eve was nearly as big a deal. And we began a countdown in our household many days before that. Today, for instance, would be the eve of Christmas Eve. Yesterday was the eve of the eve of Christmas Eve, and so on.

With all the attacks on Christmas in recent years, I wonder how much of the fun and delight of Christmas has been robbed from our kids.

But, of course, the attacks are not really directed at Christmas, at all. Christmas is only a target of the secular jihadists of the American Civil Liberties Union and their co-conspirators at Americans United For Separation of Church and State because their ultimate goal is destroying what Christmas represents.

They remind me of the terrorists in the Middle East who say they want a state of their own, but what they really want is to destroy another state. Since they haven't been able to achieve their goal in an all-out assault, they settle for getting there piece by piece.

The real target is not Christmas. It's Christianity. That's where the real battle lines are being drawn.

And we should expect this. It's just what Jesus told us to expect:

"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. …" – John 15:20

A talk-show host on Air America asked me last year at this time if I "feared" this persecution. I tried to explain that I don't fear it, I welcome it. Because unless we pay a price for our belief in Jesus, our faith has not really been tested – we're not really following in His footsteps.

Think about this: Jesus came to Earth as a little, helpless baby. He knew that even His very birth would result in worldly authorities attempting to hunt him down and slay Him in an effort to prevent Him from doing what He came to Earth to do – preach the gospel, go to the cross to atone for the sins of mankind and be resurrected.

Many Christians have considered the agony Jesus went through in the Garden of Gethsemane, through the humiliation and torture leading to Calvary. But how many of us have considered the decision Jesus made before that – to come into the world as a helpless little infant?

That's faith. That's love. That's Jesus.

What his detractors in 2005 don't get is that the battle is over. The war is already won. It is finished.

You can invent new holidays to try to marginalize Christmas. You can change the words of "Silent Night." You can tell little kids they can't say "Merry Christmas" in school. You can do all kinds of things to try to get mankind to forget about Jesus.

But all it gets you, ultimately, is more company in hell.

Another reporter asked me who was winning the battle over Christmas.

The battle was won a long time ago, about 2,006 years ago, when a little baby was born in Bethlehem, a God-man who would become the Savior of the world. Kings tried to kill him shortly after His birth. Priests marveled at his knowledge when He was but a boy. He turned the world upside down with His teachings. He healed the sick and the lame. He raised people from the dead.

To this day we measure time itself by His coming – not just kid-dom, but the whole world.

In another week or so, we will turn the page on the calendar and celebrate the new year – 2007. It isn't because it will have been 2,007 years since the beginning of the world. It isn't because it will have been 2,007 years since the beginning of history. It's because it's 2,007 years since the birth of the Messiah, the Prince of Peace, the Wonderful Counselor, the King of Kings.

Happy birthday, Jesus. Please come back soon.
