Famous “Pregnant Man” splits with wife

The inevitable end of the road has come for one of the hyped relationships that has been used to showcase Man’s alternative to God-ordained order between the male and female genders. Thomas Beatie, a transgender man (i.e. a woman who underwent sex-transplant to “become” a man) has finally decided to call it quits with the woman “he” married, nine years after.

Beatie was born in Hawaii as Tracy Lagondino in 1974. “He” was a Girl Scout, model, and finalist in a Miss Hawaii Teen USA pageant before he decided, in his twenties, that he felt more like a man and so began to dress and live as a man. Goaded on and encouraged by the folks promoting the new sexuality ideas, he had the very expensive but government-subsidized sex-reassignment surgery in 2002; got two perfectly healthy breasts removed, and started a twice-weekly intake of hormones to make him look masculine on the outside. Thereafter, he had his gender legally changed on his passport and driver’s license and in 2003, got legally married to Nancy, a divorced mother of two.

Who is fooling who? It certainly takes much more than a moustache, a deep voice and government approval to become a man. Beatie had no male reproductive organs – even if for cosmetics. And since “wife” Nancy had had hysterectomy and could not carry a baby again, it was Thomas who opted to be artificially inseminated by donor sperms and gave birth to the three children attributed to this man-made family.

It’s difficult to see what’s in this kind of relationship for the two partners, except to conclude that they are extremely confused and are groping at whatever they thought could bring fulfillment and happiness. And yes, there are the ever-present agents of the new sexuality agenda who goad and encourage them along such foolishness, turning them into laughing stock “celebrities”.

Bearded Thomas certainly had his gigs and moments of stardom as he was featured on top talk shows as the first pregnant man in history. However, like the story of the Samaritan woman at the well, who had had five husbands, and was co-habiting with a sixth man before having an encounter with the Lord Jesus (John 4), the story of Thomas and Nancy clearly indicates a sad, tormented life.

On one of the several shows he featured on, Beatie described the various medical complications associated with his having to take testerosterone, twice a week, for several years. He also lamented his not being accepted beyond the circle of his handlers in the new sexuality world. He seemed pained as he complained: "Doctors have discriminated against us, turning us away due to their religious beliefs. Health care professionals have refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognize Nancy as my wife"

As at the time when Beatie was recording his latest interview with People Magazine, he and Nancy had been separated for an undisclosed period of time. Details of whether they will divorce or not is reserved for yet another episode of another talk show. (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/pregnant-man-thomas-beatie-splits-wife-222259218.html)

Ex-lesbian woman’s daughter to be given away… announced lesbian at a psychiatric hospital

Obama’s desperate war against the old sexual order – even in an election year – is reflective of the enormous clout the homosexual lobby has in the United States. Recently President Obama became the first ever sitting president of the United States to openly endorse gay marriage. Dangerously drying Campaign funds shot up immediately after this endorsement, with generous donations from Hollywood.

With this background, it’s not really too difficult to imagine why Lisa Miller is going through virtual hell in the hands of the new sexuality-obsessed Obama regime. She is a living testimony debunking all the stereotypical lies used to justify and promote the anti-christ new age sexuality. Her story features aspects of Contraceptives, Divorce, Pornography, Abortion, Homosexuality, etc. She is just one bad customer!

First, her conception and birth was as a result of failed contraceptive, and her mother never tired of reminding her she was a birth-accident. When her parents divorced at the age of 7, she found herself growing up with “an increasingly mentally ill, distant, and cruel mother”. She sought solace in unhealthy fixations on food and pornography.

Soon after, she entered a troubled marriage which culminated in a suicide attempt. Saved after days of intensive care, a counselor in a psychiatric ward informed her that she was actually a lesbian and must seek the sexual companionship of other women for fulfilment. According to Lisa: “As part of my treatment, in order to be released, I had to meet with my immediate family, including my husband, and tell them I was a ‘lesbian.’ I complied, and not surprisingly, my marriage ended.”

The end of that troubled marriage was a major gain the homosexual advocacy groups will not allow to fritter away. A “civil union” was arranged between Lisa and another troubled soul, recovering alcoholic Janet Jenkins. Thereafter, Lisa was artificially inseminated, resulting in the birth of her daughter. Isabella.

Now, Lisa’s problem with her unseen new sexuality mentors began. During a particularly difficult period during her pregnancy, she had made a vow to the God she faintly remembered from Sunday School classes as a child, that if her baby lived, she would give up the homosexual lifestyle. And guess what, 17 months after delivery, she recollected that vow, and simply called it quits with homosexuality. Now that is not good at all for homosexuality advocacy where the mantra is that people are born with homosexuality just like the colour of their skin!

The account of her torment in the hands of new sexuality agents in the Obama administration is now documented in a book written by one of her lawyers. The easy-to-read book is titled: “Only One Mommy: A Woman’s Battle for Her Life, Her Daughter, and Her Freedom” (New Revolution Publishers, 2011). It waltzed through a maze of legal arguments used by Judge Richard Cohen to decree, first, that Janet Jenkin, being in civil union with Lisa at the time Isabella was conceived, was a co-mother with Lisa. Eventually, the Judge has also determined to grant custody of Isabella to Jenkins – a woman who has no biological or adoptive link whatsoever with the baby!

Currently, state agents are making frantic efforts, including international police cooperation, to track down Lisa (who had since fled the USA, presumably) and wrest Isabella from her into the custody of Jenkins.

TOPICAL ISSUE: Masturbation Not A Sin — Pastor Chris

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Believers Love World, a.k.a Christ Embassy shocked both fans and critics when he recently declared that masturbation is not a sin and God is absolutely not bothered a hoot about what a Christian does with his body. Masturbation involves deriving sexual pleasure by fondling one’s own body and actively using the mind to get sexually aroused. Apparently, many members of Pastor Chris church had problems with this issue – which they consider as a sin; and having discussed it extensively on a chat forum, decided to get the Pastor’s assistance.

In his comments which is available on the Youtube (http://www.youtube.ng/watch?v=DBi8l621wbQ), Pastor Chris was responding to questions from his members and fans, moderated by Pastor Kwaku from Ghana. Kwaku asked: “Pastor, how does one overcome masturbation?”

The response by Oyakhilome was surprising: “The reason you are thinking of stopping it is because you think it has become a habit for you…masturbation is not more than a habit than any other habit.” And then he added the shocker: “This habit has nothing to do with God but a lot to do with the body of the person practising.it”

For the avoidance of doubt, Pastor Christ explained what he meant by “habit”. Masturbation is just another habit, just like “the habit of playing football”. And to break that habit, one simply replaces that habit with another habit.

The Pastor was not done yet, as he veered off the original question of how, to the issue of why? Why think of breaking the harmless “habit” of masturbation? “There is one thing I would like to bring to your mind that may be of help to you because the reason you are thinking of stopping this is because of what you think it is.” With characteristic charm and emphasis Oyakhilome then proceeded to say: “No matter how wrong you think this is in your mind, get this straight, in itself, it is not a sin against God,”

Speaking further, Pastor Chris said it was only Satan that is oppressing the people of God by troubling them with the unnecessary guilt that masturbation is offensive to God. As a result of this belief that masturbation is a sin, Satan uses it to oppress people of God “making them feel ineffective an inefficient in the things of God.” (See updates and white-washing efforts at http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2012/03/21/masturbation-not-a-sin-oyakhilome-insists/)

The main issue then, according to Pastor Chris, is that members of his church that have become steeped in the “habit” of masturbation need not feel bad about it. What offends God, is one’s feeling guilty about masturbation. In his words,: “Masturbation is about you and your body. God is not offended by it, He is only offended by any habit that takes hold of your mind and if this takes hold of your mind and dominates your body, God is offended….…so if you don’t like it, stop it, but God’s got nothing to do with it. It is your own body.” “ It would appear Pastor Chris is deliberately trying to challenge the Scriptures: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (1Co 3:16 -17). For good measure, that Scripture adds: “Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (1Co 3:18)

In his advice to those, who being weak in “faith” truly needs to get rid of this habit (as the original question requested), Pastor Chris counsels: “So once you make up your mind that you want to break a particular habit, you just do it, you make up your mind…in fact the best way to break a habit is to replace it with another habit.”

One wonders, if masturbation truly were just another innocuous habit as the Pastor would have it, what other sexual “habit” would be strong enough to be used as replacement?

The pleasant surprise, considering the considerable moral downturn of the age, is that most commentators on the internet – including members of the Pastor Chris Church, Christ Embassy, could not agree with this clearly carnal and immoral teaching. While a number of Pastor Chris disciples groped for words to express reservations about their mentor’s teaching, others simply pointed to several Scriptures, such as those warning about fornication not necessarily limited to the physical acts but thoughts as well, or the need to walk not in uncleanness or carnal lusts. Indeed the Bible is emphatic in Ephesians 5:5-7:

“ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.”

Caught in the sin of masturbation? Please seek the help of the holy spirit through prayer and fasting. If the son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed.

Over Half of South Jersey's Catholics Believe Jesus Sinned

In a shocking revealing study commissioned by a Diocese of the catholic Church in southern New Jersey, 60 percent of practicing Catholics in the region said they believed that Jesus sinned during his time on Earth. Whereas the Bible clearly teaches otherwise: the Lamb of God required to atone for the sins of the world must be free of its own personal sins that would have needed to be atoned for.

A very worried Bishop Joseph Galane of the Diocese of Camden, sponsors of the study, told a Press Conference: "The number of Catholics who have a very flawed, a seriously flawed, understanding of who Jesus is, that's troublesome,"

The study was commissioned by the diocese with the hope that the results would help it to better evangelize the communities it serves. The study was conducted by the Barna Group, a Ventura, Calif.-based research organization, which surveyed 612 adults living in the six New Jersey counties within the diocese.

Other findings of the study that got the Bishop worried included the following:

  • Four out of ten of the Catholics respondents disagree with the idea that sex should be reserved solely for marriage.
  • Only a paltry 28 percent of them agree strongly with the idea that the Bible is "totally accurate in all of the principles it teaches,"
  • 38 percent favor attending church only on holidays. One-third of lapsed Catholics said they have other priorities or are too busy to attend, while others said they just aren't interested in church (27 percent).

Other issues investigated in the study was the clergy abuse scandals within the Catholic Church. -Nine out of ten (89 percent) adults interviewed said they know about scandals; and all 89 percent consider it a "major issue.".

Family feud rocks TBN

The Christian post describes it as “a drama fit for reality television: Larger than life characters, familial infighting, private jets, mansions, pink poodles, and of course contentious litigation.” But it is not one of the popular soap operas but the first family of Trinity Broadcasting Network. Brittany Koper, granddaughter of TBN founders Paul and Janice Crouch, alleges that her grandparents are scamming the public with their prosperity gospel message and using the contributions of their viewers to sustain a lavish lifestyle that would make a hip hop mogul blush. Mama and Papa Crouch counter that granddaughter Brittany is merely attempting to distract attention from her own wrongdoing. They've accused her of misappropriating ministry funds while she served as finance director for the organization.”

In Asia also, Moslem mass conversion to Christianity continues

Despite all the restrictions and persecutions, it has proved impossible to stop moslem folks, upon seeing the light of the Gospel, from embracing the lordship of Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God and the salvation He freely offers mankind. In Malaysia, the development got a former state-commissioner lamenting that "It could be hundreds, maybe even thousands" of Muslims converting to Christianity. He has therefore started "collecting data" to "persuade" the apostates to return to Islam: "We are helping them, hoping they will come back to Islam" he said. Likewise, the Sultan of Selangor, a Malaysian state, has ordered top-level Islamic organizations to take strategic steps against proselytism, "so that Muslims who have began distancing themselves from Islam will return to the fold and repent."

Meanwhile in Kuwait, a royal prince is one of the latest to openly declare that he has converted to Christianity. He said he took the necessary step despite being aware of the reality that he now might be targeted for killing as an apostate.

Entire Mosques Coming to Christ in Sub-Saharan Africa, Says Former Church Planter (culled from http://www.ChristianPost.com)

A former church planter among Muslims in West Africa is reporting incredible number of conversion among Muslims. According to Jerry Trousdale, even entire mosques in Sub-Saharan Africa are coming to faith. Trousdale, now director of International Ministries for CityTeam International, reports in his new book Miraculous Movements, amazing and inspiring stories of faith among Muslim communities in Africa. These include:

  • Multiple cases of entire mosques coming to faith
  • Thousands of ordinary men and women being used by God to achieve seemingly impossible outcomes
  • Tens of thousands of Muslim background Christians becoming dedicated intercessors who fast and pray for the gospel to penetrate the next community
  • Muslim people groups that never had even one church among them now have more than fifty church planted, and in some cases more than one hundred churches – within two years of engagement
  • Former sheikhs, imams and militant Islamists making up 20 percent or more of the new Christian leaders in Muslim regions.

Speaking with Christian Post, Trousdale said: "We had seven years now in Africa. And of the people in Africa, 81 different people groups that have at least 50 percent Muslim have now significant movements among them. Of those 81, 45 are people groups with 99 or 100 percent Muslim…So we are talking about fairly extreme areas of Islamic influence. These are people who have been Islamic for well over a hundred years, some hundreds of years."

In one of the many narratives, a successful businessman and a respected leader at his mosque dreamed that Isa al Masih (Jesus the Messiah) appeared to him and said that he (Jesus) was the light of the world. His life did not remain the same and he ended a committed and effective soul winner for the Lord Jesus.

An enthusiastic Trousdale concludes: "This is just good news that God is in the same business as He was in the book of Acts. Disciples are multiplying greatly and even priests, imams and sheikhs are becoming obedience to the faith. So I no longer doubt that we can finish the task in this generation."
