Palin's Movement Urges 'Godly' To 'Plunder' Wealth of 'Godless'

Review it on NewsTrust


The McCain campaign, during the 2008 election, has repeatedly attacked Barack Obama for advocating that the U.S. federal government seek more wealth equality in America, by "spreading the wealth." But McCain's running mate Sarah Palin is closely associated, as noted in a recent New York Times story, with "spiritual warfare", an aggressive approach to evangelizing developed by the leaders of a worldwide religious movement which promotes a religiously based wealth transfer scheme as a means to implement theocracy.

As the top leader of the New Apostolic Reformation, which extensive evidence suggests is Sarah Palin's chosen religious and political movement, C. Peter Wagner proclaimed, on June 21, 2006, that "God has declared through His prophets that the wealth of the wicked will be released to the Kingdom of God," and Wagner declared, threateningly, "the enemies' camp will be plundered."

In the final days of the election, many Republicans seem to have given up the fight for power. But that doesn't mean they are relaxing. If you want to see real Republican elbow grease, check out the energy going into chucking great chunks of the $700 billion bailout out the door. At a recent Senate Banking Committee hearing, Republican Senator Bob Corker was fixated on this task, and with a clear deadline in mind: inauguration. "How much of it do you think may be actually spent by January 20 or so?" Corker asked Neel Kashkari, the 35-year-old former banker in charge of the bailout...


God Bless

3. Romans 7:7
< Struggling With Sin > What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet."
Romans 7:6-8 (in Context) Romans 7 (Whole Chapter)

Just sayin'.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Those wackogelical pseudochristians are just the sort of people who will trespass into your back yard to steal the sheets off your line and the wood off the side of your shed to burn a cross in someone else's yard they don't know and beat them with a Bible they don't read. If they trespass into my yard with either thought in mind, they better know how to deal with big dogs and hot flying lead. I'm slap out of cheeks.
