Student Face a Town's Wrath in Protest Against a Prayer

A girl’s successful lawsuit to have a prayer removed from her high school has roiled the heavily Roman Catholic city of Cranston, where residents are appealing the decision.
The Law of the Land is Under the Law of God - 'Love of God and of Others'
Nothing is beyond the Law of God which is "love," for God created the world and the universe out of his 'love' for man.
The Holy Spirit becomes our conscience, as our children have their guardian angels as their conscience, the Ten Commandments and God's words in Jesus we may use as basis, and as always, made accountable to him who created us all.
On the same light, it is so unfortunate how the 'Law' of the land with basis from the US Constitution can favor what is unfair to many.
How many presidents of the United States of America have passed and during the term of George W. Bush, on November 2, 2002 when the newly amended US Constitution has had one of the most unpopular changes, the word "God" was taken away, led by secularists.

It is so appalling that the voices of the few giving more weight to materialism, may become so magnified because of the prevalent 'silence of the majority.'
We talk only when we feel we are already affected, while we keep silent while others trample on the rights of whom we think are the few.
Only until reality wakes us up that may bring our callous minds and hearts to the truth that our uncaring and passive stance may unknowingly mislead us to the wrong path many times causing destruction to life, property and broken homes.
Many people have suffered in pain and sorrow over misguided decisions.
The few but vocal members of our society who may lack the greater understanding of God's existence and the truth in our being may need to face the truth about our deteriorating morals allowing the practice of abortion, belief in one's self, in science, in technology and all material products of the human mind, more than anything else, all these things, once taken in abuse beyond moderation, may dangerously lay out probable risks that may go out of hand as one's ego gets depleted. more confused and lost, one may unwittingly allow himself to fall into the traps of evil leading to that seemingly endless pit onto the mouth of an eternally consuming fire, a greater hell indeed than the puny hellish experiences in real life.

If these people have become very powerful, is it not because of our passive minds, allowing the few who have no reverence to life to take control?
Is this not a sin of omission where we refuse to do what good we are supposed to do, as in James 4:17?
Last week while listening on the radio, I was so surprised when I heard a radio commentator who was airing his support for his 14 year old daughter who was for 'same sex marriage.'
Is it not our duty to God and society to guide our children to what is wholesome and true?
Are we not supposed to abhor sodomy, pedophilia and other sins of lust instead of supporting them?
May we learn from the sins of our ancestors which has caused death to many as God in his wrath over sins of lust has destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, the Fall of the Roman Empire which has seen many lewd sexual acts including homosexual advances despised by many among other sins of lust, and other sexually transmitted diseases that have cropped up as sexual acts among lesbians and homosexuals have become rampant.
I pray that more parents may see the importance of teaching their children the truth about God in Jesus than keeping them away from it, that more children may grow up strong against evil, where a God fearing society may become an appropriate model for productivity where noble and patriotic men specially among the rich and the middle class populace may be asked to contribute and share to a common fund in each city, with tax shields for those contributing, for the common good and for people's welfare, a suggestion which may be worthy of discussion in another forum.
Each one may have to learn to humble himself to God and country and be willing to sacrifice and share for greater productivity, efficiency and unity of purpose for what can be good for the many, not just for the few, in the most orderly and peaceful fashion, bearing in mind that this life is only a stepping stone to the greater life ahead, that of the afterlife, depending on how God in Jesus may one day pass judgement on each and everyone of us.
Others of different faith may do the same, as they are free to exercise their own religion, being the essence of a true democratic nation and for the true ideals of freedom, justice and liberty for all, as always, with accountability to God, to the Fatherland and to the younger generation, who personifies the hope of our future, not to discount what impacts our decisions of today may have on the future of our children and society in general.
God reminds us in many ways, majority of us being Christians, that we need to avoid evil, rather, find strength and greater wisdom as we may learn to follow and live in Jesus being the light of life.
Overpopulation around the globe may have an effect on our every decision, but let this problem be lifted to God, and feel secured in his trust for he will never abandon us in our faith, while we continue to pray and look for better alternatives in line with what is true in his teaching, that in the end, out of our obedience, we may be greatly blessed, as this has been his promise to those who may trust in his words and abide in him.

I feel so sad that some people have gotten into the same wrong notion of supporting what is not of God, but I still continue to pray from my heart and spirit, that more people may be guided in the light in God's words.
May we be more vigilant, nevertheless, as evil never sleeps, and as we open our eyes to the many signs in our life that may bring us to believing and trusting in God in Christ Jesus and in his words, than believing in man's wisdom or intelligence in creating man made solutions to all worldly challenges in this life.
For as long as we live this life, worldly challenges will never wane as we live in the flesh.
These things of evil may be gaining momentum, but as long as we continue to pray and do the best we can, in the most peaceful way, to guide more people back to God, then we are doing what is appropriate in the eyes of God.
Let not our emotions rule us, less we want evil to mislead us, rather, let our faith guide us in becoming a witness to God's words as we may continue to enlighten more people towards what is of God in peace, truth and in love.

If man continues in his evil ways, he is always made accountable, as inLuke 18:7 where we may know that God listens to the faithful in avenge of injustice done, as we may lift all these with holy hands in prayer, offering all these at the foot of his cross, and in Jesus' name and by his holy blood cleanse us from all our sins and inequities, and touch those who may be misguided to turn to God and turn from their evil ways.
[See the truth about the crucified Christ in our being: 'Laminin,' the Binding Truth on the Cross and Creation, Avoiding Hell, Purgatory and Generational Sins]
My dear brothers and sisters, while it is not my wish to condemn those who may be lost and confused as they may espouse what is evil yet, are unaware of its dire consequences in the future of our society and of our nation as a whole, let us not go farther from the truth and seek the love of God and his guidance, that we may all learn to live in peace and joy in following his words.
Our true freedom is being compromised by the few who may have successfully adulterated our minds.
But hope is not lost for, if we believe in the binding truth in the words of Jesus, we must always stand by this truth as it is in the steadfastness of our faith and in what we believe in that we may become as great as he who has empowered us to do his will, Jesus our Lord God and Savior.
And that in fully trusting in the Lord Jesus, truth, freedom and justice in the love of God will in the end, prevail.
False Beliefs About Jesus
On a parallel light, I came across a very interesting forum on hubpages.com, 'Christians threatening a Teenage Girl,' participated in by many atheists, agnostics and non-Christian believers per this link as featured above, "Student Faces Town's Wrath in Protest Over a Prayer," who were discussing about the plight of Jessica Ahlquist, a student of a Catholic School, who saw the ire of many people in Cranston, Rhode Island, for her act of protest against an 8 feet tall prayer papered onto a wall in the Cranston West Auditorium.
After reading some of the comments on the forum, "Christians Threatening a Teenage Girl Forum," I felt my adrenalin rush as I found myself immersed contributing my views including a very recent one in answer to a participant, aka Pcunix, who said that "all gods are logically impossible and overwhleming evidence exists that all specific claims (Christian god, for example) are false."
"Pcunix, how do you explain NDE's or Near Death Experiences experienced by many including two honest friends of mine and how do you explain my own experience of seeing the light, having survived a mild heart attack in 2002 and a mild stroke in 2010, and I have survived with using natural means with not no medication as a revelation from the Lord Jesus? How do you explain a Dying Man's Last Words on YouTube,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeE2xg3REtA, as recorded by his son per his request, how do you explain the man who , or the 11 year old Colton Burpo who saw heaven and a book inspired by him, the incorruptible bodies and relics from saints which exists until now, and how do you explain many Muslim and other religions now converts into the Christian faith,[original link disabled, here's related link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi-C3uouDLs], and the Burmese monk who saw hell in his death and when he came back to life, he related what he saw getting many Buddhists converts to Christianity,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5dM7O-8deE, and countless more.
'May you too see the light of Christ, Pcunix, and only through your heart and spirit in prayer and by power of the Holy Spirit, he may reveal himself to you, just like the risen Christ revealed himself to St. Paul as he was himself a persecutor of Christians, until he became a convert as he regained his sight from 3 days of blindness, that you too may be saved. Godspeed."
I do believe that God moves in mysterious ways, and whatever happens, happen for a reason.
I pray that the Holy Spirit may guide me always in discerning while trying to read and understand the signs at hand. And these sometimes happen beyond our expectations, more often than not, impacting on our lives, sometimes because of the choices we make, in the exercise of our own 'free will.'
And if we get carried away by our emotions and react negatively or, God forbid, violently, we may never get better results, unless it is God's will in us out of our love for others, defending and protecting the lives of those who are innocent and those who may want to live in peace, that freedom and justice may prevail, as against more violence, hatred and meaningless bloodshed and the loss of lives, in other words, a better quality of life that all may enjoy where Christ becomes the center of our life, becoming our advocate, and his words as our conscience.
Things just go wrong, sometimes, unexpectedly, perhaps, as part of God's divine plan for us.
We have to expect it, anytime, we may be tested in our faith, or be made an instrument of God's love, power and mercy, that whatever and however things may happen, may we be guided by his will, not by our will, and that 'his will be done.'
Jesus calls on all men to stand side by side each other as we may learn through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, empowered by God's words of love, humility and forgiveness to be victorious over our ego and over our human weaknesses to sins of lust and greed perpetrated by our mortal souls commandeered by our often unassuming yet unpredictable temporal intelligence, that we all may become one in Christ, triumphant over the deceitful evil one, who may have wisely and uncannily hidden itself from within the threshold of man's ego.
Now exposed, what are we waiting for?
Lest we may so decide to allow this wily intruder it to create greater havoc from within our now fragile souls?
Remember, the words of God in Jesus be our sword, faith be our shield, truth be our belt, salvation as our helmet, love be our breastplate, and to put on the shoes of peace as we face to help disarm the evil one.
Consider these many false beliefs about Jesus:
- 'there are other gods than Jesus or than the God Abraham and Moses, as there are other religions who guide people to become good and productive citizens as they may become wealthy and powerful too' >>> while there are several religious beliefs with people now confused on who to follow or who is the real god, let us be guided that there is only One True God in Christ Jesus, who rules above all things, 'in him dwells the whole fullness of the diety bodily ... head of every principality and power' as in Colossians 2:6-15; there is no other more powerful than him, for in him, the world with man was created, so with the whole universe as in Genesis 1:1-27 and in John 1:1-15, that by following him we may be saved from the fires of hell and rewarded with eternal life, and that being poor in spirit, pure in heart, comforting to the afflicted, etc. as in the 8 Beatitudes, we may be blessed spiritually, and if God so wills in us, even materially;
- According to Jewish beliefs, Jesus is a 'false prophet who came into humanity to turn it away from God's true path ... and the Messiah is one who will usher humanity to world peace and unite humanity as one'; and many of them reject the view of God incarnate or the Son of God in Jesus; although there is currently an increasing number of Jewish faithfuls who are gradually accepting Jesus as the true Messiah >>> Jesus is the word made flesh, even before Abraham he was 'I am,' as in Exodus 3:13-14, and in John 8:58; is it not in believing and following his words of love and forgiveness, that we may have peace in ourselves and among the rest of mankind? And is it not in believing that we have been created by God in him as in John 1:3 that we may learn to unite as one in him? May we be made more humble and obedient to God's words and may we be more enlightened by the power his words in Christ Jesus that we may see world peace and unity among all of humanity, as we may reject evil who continues to hide and rule in our ego;
- According to the Muslim Faith, as claimed by many Muslim religious leaders, Jesus is the Messenger of God and Messiah and of a virgin birth in Mary (source Wikipedia, Jesus in Islam), and they believe that he is no greater than Muhammad, the more honored Messenger of God, the prophet who deserves more praise since he came after Jesus, in a way that supercedes Jesus, with claimed updated good news from God as revealed by the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad during his 40 days and 40 nights fasting; and like many Jewish faithfuls, Muslims do not believe in Jesus being God incarnate or being the Son of God; >>> Jesus is the Messiah and the One True God for he and the Father are One; and he is the 'truth, the way and the life' as in John 10:30 and John 14:6; and remember, Jesus said to beware of false prophets who 'may appear in sheep's clothing but inwardly, are ferocious wolves', as in Matthew 7:15;
- Further in the Muslim Faith, their religious leaders believe that, in support of what is in the Quoran, they believe that Jesus the Messiah was not crucified, but another person crucified was mistaken to be him, and that he was raised bodily to heaven by God (source: Wikipedia, Islamic views to Jesus' death), and that God will never allow the Messiah to die, much less on the cross; while Ahmadi Muslim scholars argued he was indeed rescued and died in Kashmir, India; and like in the Jewish faith, many still reject the view of God incarnate or the Son of God in Jesus, although some Muslims have started to open their eyes to this truth >>> Jesus' death on the cross has been long proven to be a fact, as in preserved manuscripts of the Holy Bible, all consistently pointing to the crucified Christ, and in his death and resurrection, he has consummated the prophecy, has purchased us and freed us from the sin of Adam and Eve, has fulfilled our redemption in the forgiveness of sins for all of mankind, and in his glorious resurrection and ascension unto heaven, those who may believe and follow him may have eternal life in them, and this makes his death on the cross very powerful against all evil, and denying this truth is denying his words, and in denying his words, we may have no eternal life in us as we may allow ourselves to fall into the traps of evil or Mammon; and the first step to being saved and in the forgiveness of sins is to be baptized in the name of 'the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,' or the Holy Trinity, the Three in One God, as Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, or in 'the name of Jesus,' as in Acts 2:38, for in Jesus is the fullness of the Diety bodily, being our One True God.
If only we may open our hearts and spirit to God in Jesus, then we may see the truth that Christ is in all of us, and it is faith in him that helps us heal, physically, emotionally, and much more, spiritually, for in every being is our spirit, created by God, now seen in our mortal body, and only God can destroy our spirit, as inMatthew 10:28, Jesus said, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and the body in hell."
May more people see the light of Christ in the love of others and for those who may seek true peace and happiness in this life through him, may they be rewarded with eternal heavenly bliss.
Making Life Work for Eternity (Poem by edwinoel; let's KJOH)
Making Life Work for Eternity
So let all ears listen and know if we may agree,
Is it not 'Life is what we make it.' be it for you or for me?
Boring as we may say, Is it not because we think it so?
As we may listen to the dictates of evil from deep within our ego?
Masked in goodness and good intentions we may see him come and go,
Unnoticed, he makes a fool of us filling our vanity so,
Oh how foolish can we be in our mortal soul,
So weak in the flesh that we may care not what next be in store?
Eternal direction, tracks we're bound to lose as vanity looms,
For the master of deception every time catches us into his evil contraption.
Matter not how shallow may it be our desire to be happy,
Refrain not, lest be derailed from one's life goal in glory onto eternity,
For you may never know how uncanny Lucifer's mind flows,
In the nick of time, into an inferno you may go where no light glows.
Be quick and run, run out you go from any lewd, lust, sinful show,
From behind the curtain lies hell hidden that no one may know.
My son, my daughter, listen to your father and mother, they know,
In Jesus' love, care and protection feel safe, you'll never go down so low.
Be deceived not from the calls of evil deep down from your pride,
Not even the highest score, wealth, power or fame may profit your name,
For neither day nor time can you ever claim 'big time,' in heaven's name,
Lest in love for brethren be your goal that you may learn to see,
How full, lasting and true that feeling can be, as it may last you up 'til eternity.

Growing converts to Christianity
Praise be to God in Jesus as we see an upward trend towards the number of converts to the Christian faith with more and more people believing that Christ is in us as he has long been in us since the time of creation, in our very being, as he created us all in his image and likeness, our very body being the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who needs love, care, honor and respect.
And Jesus wants all of us back to him, less we choose to deny him as when we may cling to evil, to what is selfish, to what is not love, concern and care and for others as it is in this way that we show our love for our Creator and our God.
And what can you say about these testimonies, with given YouTube links, on the continuing growth of Christianity among converts and believers in Christ Jesus and in the power of his words?
- from Al-Jazeerah report on 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity?
- from the shocking video Muslims don't want to see;
- from CBN News report Millions of Hindus converting to Christianity;
- Interview with a Christian convert on Mormon Lady Went to Hell;
- interview with Jewish accepting Jesus as the true Messiah in Another Jewish Believer in Christ
Christ makes us powerful against the dictates of evil masked by works purposely coated with goodness, yet sadly, finding happiness in the misery of the downtrodden and the poor, and may even cause death to the innocent..

who is any man or god to criticize, rebuke and put down others beliefs and faith?









Edwinoel Tanglao Hub Author 2 weeks ago
Praying for Former Pres. Bill Clinton and VP Joe Biden and many others that they may understand how promoting gay marriage may negatively affect the moral fiber of society where selfishness, false hopes, malice may lead to a more confused, dishonest and corrupt society as something evil, identified with the evils in Sodom and Gomorrah, may be legalized to support as what Pres. Bill perceives to be good for business and may help increase employment especially for North Carolina where a slated vote for Amendment One has been set for May 8, http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/05/05/2046269/bil Since when did short term business gains, if ever achieved, became beneficial on the long term for the good of society without God's blessings?
If same-sex or gay marriage is not disturbing to them, where is the respect to truth, noble acts, morals, selfless sacrifice for the good many going? How can we be of service to our country when in our very basic political unit which is the 'family' is seen being gradually devoured by evil, with the absence of God in our daily life routine?
If God in Christ teaches us love and mercy with that sense of accountability to our children and their future carried or borne on our shoulders, will we rather be led to the temptation for material reasons and care less for whatever darkness and suffering that our children may turn out facing for our wrong decisions? Are we still blind from the effects of greed from too much materialism and taking God aside when it comes to bringing the light of Christ in our decisions, from whom God created us all?
Jesus reminds us to trust in him as our Master and be guided by his light that we all may be healed, and see our nation blessed as God has continued to bless or eventually bless all those who humble themselves to him, after having seen and tested their faith, as how he has blessed Abraham and David for their love of God, and how he has blessed America into becoming a superpower.
