New Yurica Article - Bush's Inauguration Speech Biblical Code Unraveled
There is a new article at The Yurica Report today:

What Did Mr. Bush’s 2nd Inaugural Address Really Mean? - Biblical Code Unraveled By Katherine Yurica
http://www.yuricareport.com/BushSecondTerm/WhatMrBush2ndInauguralMeans.html

excerpt...

Biblical Ornaments or Biblical Code?

Let’s examine some of Mr. Bush’s statements from his second Inaugural Address that demonstrate he was speaking in religious code. In fact, he repeatedly wrapped himself in the cloak of biblical expressions that are very well known to evangelical Christians in general and to dominionists specifically. In so doing, he was speaking over the heads of most Americans to reach his religious base.

In all of the following quotes, I have added emphasis in order to facilitate comparisons between what Mr. Bush said and the quotes from the Bible. All the biblical quotes in this section are from the King James Version.

The Bible: “Brethren ye have been called unto liberty ” (Galatians 5:13)

Mr. Bush: “Eventually, the call of freedom comes to every mind and every soul.”

The Bible: “Who has saved us, and called us with an holy calling…” (II Timothy 1:9)

The Bible: “… the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)

The Bible: “…the heavenly calling…” (Hebrews 3:1)

Mr. Bush: “Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation’s security and the calling of our time.”

The Bible: “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13: 8)

Mr. Bush: “Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before: ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today and forever.”

Here I would like to interject this observation: The verse referenced is universally known by evangelical, fundamentalist and Pentecostal Christians. Therefore the context of the President’s statement clearly shows he was addressing only “Christians” in their “ideals of justice” and only “Christians” when he used the word “conduct” for he was specifically referencing what he considered to be eternal principles of behavior—not shared by secular Americans.

The Bible: “And ye shall…proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof…” (Leviticus 25:10)

Mr. Bush: “America, in this young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world and to all the inhabitants thereof.”

This particular verse is very significant to dominionists and is often quoted and referenced in their literature and by their popularizers like Pat Robertson. Note that Mr. Bush changes the concept from the original Bible verse which was limited to the land the Israelites occupied following the exodus, to the concept of “all the world.” This is a significant step on Mr. Bush’s part. He is announcing global biblical “Christian” spiritual emancipation. We are about to see why this is so.

1. Thanks so much for posting this,
I'll have to save it for tonight when I have time to read it.

I guess I'll have to finally break down and join the YR's mailing list because I forget to check the site out for updates and the Yurica Report is one of my favorites. Thanks again.

2. * will do anything to keep support.
He's no Christian. Christ didn't beleive in killing people are he helped the poor.

He will say and do anything to maintain his position as Boy King.

3. Detailed Biblical Proof that Bush / GOP are NOT following Christian Agenda
Bloodguilty Churches - Why Bush’s Agenda Is Immoral and an Abomination to God By Katherine Yurica

http://www.yuricareport.com/Religion/TheBloodGuiltyChurches.html

excerpt...

George W. Bush, his administration, the Republican controlled congress as well as the Republican Party itself, and most of the churches in America (including evangelical, Southern Baptist, Pentecostal and Roman Catholic), stand indicted—not by men—not by this writer—but by the very Holy Scriptures the religious-right and Mr. Bush profess to uphold. Weighed against the Bible, the Bush actions are not only morally corrupt—they are unchristian and unbiblical to the core. In this essay, the Bush agenda is weighed on the scale of God’s standards and it is found wanting.

5. This kindof information should scare everyone to death. It should be read
by everyone! It should be on the front pages of all the papers, and talked about on all the TV stations, so even the most stubborn "ostriches" are forced to see what is happening!
Otherwise, it will be too late..

"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."
Martin Niemoller

7. Hymn 43
Thank you Jethro Tull

Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son
whose busy with his money games -- his women and his gun.
Oh Jesus save me!
And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three
and made his name in Hollywood
to set the white man free.
Oh Jesus save me!
If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself
from the gory glory seekers who use His name in death.
Oh Jesus save me!
I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon --
His cross was rather bloody --
He could hardly roll His stone.
Oh Jesus save me!
