A FALSE GOSPEL
GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. - Mark 16:15 is the commission Jesus gave to his Twelve. The following three ministers seem to think the Great Commission is, “Go ye unto all the world and bash homosexuals.” Having forsaken the Gospel of Jesus Christ these three preachers devote a great deal of their time to bashing. All three of these ministers have radio and television ministries that reach millions. All three of these ministers should return to preaching Jesus Christ instead of the hateful sermons they are now spewing out over the airways.
I graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in 1953 with a degree in religious education. After I returned in 1955 from a rough tour of duty in the United States Navy I eventually earned a theology degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Some how I must have missed Homosexual Bashing 101. The main thing I learned was, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Because of having had polio and a few doses of experimental LSD at Bethesda Naval Hospital, I never got to preach the message of how much God loves the world.
This morning Dr. Ed Young made the statement that only 1% of the citizens of the United States are homosexuals, but he spent sixty precious minutes bashing instead of trying to reach Christian and non-Christians with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m thankful that I listened to a Gospel preacher when I was seven years old and accepted Christ as my Savior ‘cause I wouldn’t have been saved from listening to Dr. Young.
The United States faces two big problems today. Number one is the illegal drug problem that is rampant. Number two is the mess that our present president has gotten us into. Perhaps these two problems should be presented after the three of you preach about God’s love manifested through Jesus Christ at Calvary.

The Other Gospel of John Hagee
hat there are moral and ethical concerns with Hagee and a serious question as to his being biblically qualified as a pastor and teacher are not the main issues of this article. However, one very important factor should be noted. The Liberty Flame reported in May 1994 that during the time when Hagee was serving the Charismatic congregation at Trinity Church (1976) in San Antonio, he divorced his wife, resigned and married a young woman in the congregation, Diana Castro. Custody of Hagee’s two children by his ex-wife, Martha, went to her

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Darwin wrote a book about the survival of the fittest, and preachers still call him a godless atheist who taught that evolution was a natural process without outside help. It is very doubtful that Darwin was trying to prove there isn't a Divine Being. Whatever, we should take note of his thoughts and try to apply them to our own situation.
OVER POPULATION is causing water and air pollution.
The world is fast becoming vastly over populated. Humans have to have water to survive. Because of the need for water, the world's waterways attract large numbers of people. Large numbers of people have to have a place to dump their waste. Our streams, rivers, marshes, and the oceans are becoming cesspools where organisms that support life cannot survive. Fish, birds and animal populations near heavily populated areas are dangerously low while undesirable water plants and forms of animal life are taking over. In highly polluted streams there are very few fish while turtles bask on fallen logs.
Man and his combustible engines driven by petroleum energy is polluting the air. Whether the earth's atmosphere is warming up because of energy sources is being debated. Whatever the cause, weather on the earth's surface is changing. Certain areas are becoming drier while other areas are becoming wetter. Ice caps are melting causing a rise in the ocean tides. These changes maybe just earth cycles that periodically change, but the matter must be addressed. One thing we do know is that a haze of pollution is coming out of the big cities, and it is affecting life, as we know it on planet Earth.
Agriculture and Urban overuse of chemicals. Animals such as cows, sheep and goats are increasing in vast herds enclosed in small areas. Their waste is being added to the waste created by humans. Agriculture use of chemicals and fertilizer are being added to the pollution. The chemical killing of water life is not restricted to farmers for urban dwellers with their lawns and golf courses are not helping matters at all.
PETROLEUM POLLUTION occurs from the time oil is taken from the ground until it is burned in combustible engines. Those harvesting the earth's riches are not always careful about runoff. Waterways in countries where large amounts of oil are being pumped have to be set afire to burn off the pollution. Whether it is the Arctic wilderness or the Iraq desert, oil production makes the water and land almost sterile. Petroleum reserves are rapidly being used. Probably the thing that might save the world as we know it is when the oil pools dry up, we will have to find another source of energy to keep industry turning. Perhaps a cleaner source can be used. Instead of President Bush throwing money into killing Arabs, perhaps the money could be better spent in developing another source of energy, but trying to tell a fool what to do is almost impossible.
OCEANS ARE DYING. Whether the oceans will become sterile within our lifetimes is debatable. What is not debatable is that the ocean water is daily losing its ability to support any kind of life. Coral reefs are dying at an alarming speed. Only if we can learn to safely farm the oceans can we continue to use them for food.
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST Returning to the subject that Darwin discussed, we must raise the question, "Can life as we know it survive on planet Earth?" The answer is obvious. We maybe able to intelligently change our lifestyles enough to help preserve a human friendly earth, but the way we are going about it at present makes the saving of living conditions on earth harder and harder to maintain. Whether Earth becomes a sterile planet such as Mars may depend on decisions we make soon. Whether the human species survives may depend upon our actions.

ON THE ELECTION When judging John Kerry and George Bush on presidential qualities such as looks, mannerisms, and speaking abilities I must say neither one of them turns me on. The only reason I will vote for John Kerry is that surely no one can do as much harm to the United States as our present president. I know Republicans think he saved the world, but they fail to look at how many of our military people have died in a war that could have been avoided. Think about all the billions of dollars that have been squandered when the money is badly needed here at home. I don't think we can afford another four years of George W. Bush, but if we have to, we can. The United States, one nation under God, is a very strong nation.
