New Texas Governor Takes Obama To Court Over Amnesty Order

Common Sense Commentary: My question: Why did our brave, newly elected, Texas Governor, in a wheelchair, have the courage to step up and lead these governors of 26 other states to take this action when any one of them could have done so long ago?  Thank God they had the courage to follow if not to lead. My second question is, "Where are the other 23 governors of these United States? Why aren't they joining Texas and 26 other states in this lawsuit?"  This is not a Republican or Democrat issue; it is a national issue. RB

TEXAS FEDERAL COURT ISSUES 

INJUNCTION TO STOP OBAMA’S 

EXECUTIVE AMNESTY

From BrietBart Texas Wire


Texas Federal Judge Andrew Hanen issued a temporary injunction halting the Executive Amnesty program announced last year by President Barack Obama. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton responded to the late night decision by the judge. 

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed on December 3rd, 2014, by then Texas Attorney Generalreg Abbott (n Gow Governor Abbott) on behalf of the State of Texas. At the time of the filing, Texas was joined by sixteen other states. That number has increased to twenty-six states, more than half of the country. 

In the ruling (attached below), Judge Hanen wrote, “The ultimate question before the Court is: Do the laws of the United States, including the Constitution, give the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) the power to take the action at issue in this case?” The judge laid out three issues to answer in this ruling: “(1) whether the States have standing to bring this case; (2) whether the DHS has the necessary discretion to institute the DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents) program; and (3) whether the DAPA program is constitutional, comports with existing laws, and was legally adopted.” 

The Judge ruled that “at least one plaintiff has satisfied all the necessary elements to maintain a lawsuit and to obtain a temporary injunction.” This means that, not only can the lawsuit continue, but the judge has ordered that the President or the Secretary of Homeland Security cannot take action on the DAPA program. 

“The United States of America, its departments, agencies, officers, agents and employees and Jeh Johnson, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security; R. Gil Kerlikowske, commissioner of United States customs and Border Protection; Ronald D. Vitiello, deputy chief of United States Border Patrol, United States Customs and Border Protection; Thomas S. Winkowski, acting director of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Leon Rodriguez, director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services are hereby enjoined from implementing any and all aspects or phases of the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents,” the injunction read. 

Governor Abbott responded to the ruling handed down late Monday night. “President Obama abdicated his responsibility to uphold the United States Constitution when he attempted to circumvent the laws passed by Congress via executive fiat, and Judge Hanen’s decision rightly stops the President’s overreach in its tracks,” Abbott wrote in a press release obtained by Breitbart Texas. ‘We live in a nation governed by a system of checks and balances, and the President’s attempt to by-pass the will of the American people was successfully checked today. The District Court’s ruling is very clear — it prevents the President from implementing the policies in ‘any and all aspects.’” 

Attorney General Paxton also responded to the injunction stating, “This decision is a victory for the rule of law in America and a crucial first step in reining in President Obama’s lawlessness.  The President’s action, both unilateral and unconstitutional, was an affront to everyone pursuing a life of freedom and opportunity in America the right way. This injunction makes it clear that the President is not a law unto himself, and must work with our elected leaders in Congress and satisfy the courts in a fashion our Founding Fathers envisioned.” 

The other states joining Texas in the lawsuit are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin. 

Marco Rubio's Powerful Challenge To Democrats Not To Boycott Israeli Prime Minister's Address To Congress

Common Sense Commentary: The key questions, in the present world-wide debate concerning Israel's right to exist as a nation, is this. Where does God want the United States Of America to stand? Do we stand with all those Jew hating  Muslim nations surrounding her, who want to exterminate Israel? Do we stand with the increasing numbers of Jew hating European citizens whose fathers and grandfathers betrayed the Jews to the concentration camps and holocaust ovens of Germany? Do we stand with a President who said the Muslim call to worship was the most beautiful sound he ever heard, who admires those Muslims who hate Israel, and he who stands against Israel at every turn? If our country does not stand by our best friend in the world, exactly who will we stand by?  And if we do not stand by Israel, which other nation in the entire world will? Fortunately, God is standing by them whether anyone else does or not, but we will answer to Him for our stand for or against them.


In this U-tube, Marco Rubio sounds like a Baptist Preacher. God bless him.

Friday The 13th....Muslim Sharia Law Now In Texas ?

Common Sense Commentary: Oh yes, of course, the Muslim Imam in Irving, Texas said, We are not here "to cut the head, chop the heads, cut the hands ...." Nearly all the tyrants and dictators of history first came as rescuers, restorers of peace, enemies of crime and corruption and haters of war. It happened under the more recent regimes of Nazism and Communism. That is what Muslims promised when they invaded all the countries of the Middle East, Near East, Far East and Africa. That is what they made the Europeans believe when they came "Looking for jobs" .... before they created "Muslim Only" neighborhoods and introduced Sharia Law without formally announcing it. Sharia Law now exists in some parts of those European countries. Even in America we have neighborhoods which are essentially "Muslim Only".  So now, of all places, here in Texas they have come right out and boldly declared Sharia Law. They may have chosen the wrong state. RB

Poll: Establishment of Islamic Court in Texas Raises Fears

Thursday, February 12, 2015 05:28 PM

By: John Blosser

Well over a third of Americans fear that the establishment of an Islamic court in Texas means that harsh sharia law soon could spread throughout the United States.

A poll by LifeWay Research discovered that 37 percent of Americans fear Islamic courts soon will be handing down rulings across the country.

Ed Stetzer, executive director of LifeWay Research, said, "In a nation that has long espoused religious freedom, Americans are thinking long and hard about the kind of society Islam fosters, especially the more radical groups that say they are Islamic, and whether Sharia law would ever be adopted here."

The Islamic Center of Learning in Irving, Texas, recently announced the formation of the first sharia court in the U.S.

Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne stated, "Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that the city of Irving has somehow condoned, approved, or enacted the implementation of a sharia law court in our city," the Christian Post reported.

"Let me be clear, neither the city of Irving, our elected officials or city staff have anything to do with the decision of the mosque that has been identified as starting a sharia court."

However, the LifeWay poll suggests that Americans are very concerned.

Older Americans are more concerned, with nearly half of those over age 45 surveyed, or 47 percent, expressing worries, while just 27 percent of Americans between 18 and 44 years old worry about it, the study found.

Women, at 42 percent, were more concerned than men, at 33 percent. Slightly more than half, or 51 percent, of evangelicals voiced concerns while only 34 percent of Catholics and 21 percent of those with no religious preference shared their concern.

Imam Moujahed Bakhach of the mosque in Irving told Christian News Network, "We are not here to invade the White House or invade Austin. We are humble and want to settle a problem between Muslims. Maybe in [America's] mind, the misconception about what they see through the media is that Sharia means cut the head, chop the heads, cut the hands, and we are not in that."

In the LifeWay poll, nearly half of Americans or 48 percent, disagreed with President Barack Obama's Sept. 10, 2014, statement: "[ISIS] is not Islamic." Only one in four, or 22 percent, agreed with him.

However, 43 percent of those polled agreed that Islam "can create a peaceful society," LifeWay states. Only 27 percent believe that ISIS shows what life looks like when Islam controls a society, while 47 percent believe it does not.

Van Duyne, the mayor of Irving, said, "Texas Supreme Court precedent does not allow the application of foreign law that violates public policy, statutory, or federal laws. I am working with our state representatives on legislation to clarify and strengthen existing prohibitions on the application of foreign law in violation of constitutional or statutory rights," Christian News reported.

And this from Kerby Anderson's "Point Of View"

Sharia Law in America  

Most Americans do not like the idea that Sharia law could be implemented in the United States. That is why more than half dozen states have already passed a ban on Sharia law either through the legislature or through a ballot measure. States like Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee have such bans. Oklahoma voters approved a ban that was struck down by a federal appeals court. Missouri passed a measure banning foreign law, but the governor vetoed the bill.

Opponents argue that these bans are unnecessary. But they need to read the report from the Center for Security Policy on “Shariah law and the American State Courts.” They found 50 significant cases of Sharia law in U.S. courts just from their small sample of appellate published cases. When they looked at state courts, they found an additional 15 cases in the trial courts and 12 more in the appellate courts. Judges are making decisions deferring to Sharia law even when those decisions conflict with the U.S. Constitution and the various state constitutions.

How should we respond to the increased use of Sharia law in America? Here is a simple way to explain your concern to legislators, family, friends, and neighbors. Remember the numbers 1-8-14. These three numbers stand for the three amendments to the U.S. Constitution that prevents the use of Sharia law.

The First Amendment says that there should be no establishment of religion. Sharia law is based on one religion’s interpretation of rights. The First Amendment prohibits the establishment of any national religion (including Islam).

The Eighth Amendment prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.” Most Americans would consider the penalties handed down under Sharia law to be cruel and unusual.

The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees each citizen equal protection under the Constitution. Sharia law does not treat men and women equally, nor does it treat Muslims and non-Muslims equally. This also violates the Constitution.

The next time you have a discussion about Sharia law, remember the numbers 1-8-14. Sharia law is unconstitutional.

Journalistic Incest Makes For Feeble Mindedness

Common Sense Commentary: The United States Left Wing News slant is prostituted by 1500 newspapers, 1100 magazines, 9000 radio stations, 1500 TV stations and 2400 publishers. All of these Main Street (Media) Street Walkers are owned by just six Major Corporations. All of whom ... all of us are either customers of or investors in. So all of the American public is paying for the smoothly expert, left leaning, misrepresentations, exaggerations, deceptions and outright lies they feed us every day from the Whitehouse Kitchen, Oval Office and Guest Bedrooms. Read on, for details, dear little lambs. RB

Journalistic Incest

So prancing in that Left-Wing gutter,
Our POTUS plays with his Political Putter,
And he Executive Orders without a Stutter,
While hes, shes and sleaze are all aflutter.
We see their perversion but dare it not utter...
Potus Pimpus is one-of-us we hear them mutter. RB



Before you take a guess who is in 
whose pocket, read these facts:

IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS SYSTEM WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE. 

ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser. 

CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications. 

ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Whitehouse Press Secretary Jay Carney 

ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama's Deputy Press Secretary 

ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama's Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood 

CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton's Deputy Secretary Tom Nides. 

And now you know why it is no surprise the media usually goes very easy on Obama's many errors. Ya think there might be a little bias in the news? 

Swapping Prisoners, Lies and Ignorance in A Big White House

Common Sense Commentary: Surely all of those have their limits.... but in the White House it appears not. Just how many lies are possible in a 24 hour period? And how much ignorance, of one's own country, can be downloaded from the head of a pin.

You may recall that a few months ago, Obama spoke of three former Presidents making prisoner swaps at the end of wars that took place on their watch, "much like this swap" he said convincingly. 

CNN News carried this quote, “This is what happens at the end of wars,” Barack Obama boasted Tuesday when he was asked about swapping American Army Sgt. Deserter for five vicious Taliban terrorists. "That was true for President George Washington... That was true for President Abraham Lincoln and that was true for President FDR. That’s been true of every combat situation, that at some point, you make sure that you try to get your folks back ... And that’s the right thing to do.” 

Really? 

That statement blatantly demonstrates that the most powerful man in the World and two term President of the United States lacks even a grade school level of knowledge of American History; specifically, history as it relates to three of our most famous presidents and it demonstrates again that we have essentially elected a foreigner who has no understanding of the very country that he reigns supreme over. Then again, he was educated at an Ivy league school so you can't expect too much. 

What's wrong with his statements? Let's keep it simple--EVERYTHING is wrong with these statements! 

George Washington did not become president until six years after the Revolutionary War ended in 1783. By 1789 there were no longer any prisoners for him to exchange. 

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in mid April of 1865. The Civil War ended the following month. He was still dead at that time. No deals were made to exchange prisoners after the war. All prisoners were simply freed. 

FDR died of a stroke before the end of WWII. Like Lincoln , he stayed dead after the war so he couldn't do what the President says he did. You'll recall that Harry S. Truman made the decision to drop two nuclear bombs on Japan, ending World War II. He made no deals for prisoners. We went in and released them when necessary. 

None of the Presidents that Obama noted were in office at the ends of those wars, making it impossible for them to make any sort of prisoner swaps, let alone the 5 for 1, plus unspecified cash, for a deserter and traitor by our "57 States" president. 

It should be pointed out that countless deserters and traitors were shot or hung during all three of the aforementioned wars. 

What amazes one even more than the ignorance of Obama is that he has managed to surround himself with a staff that is just as clueless as he is.

The Back Nine Ends With The 18th Hole

Common Sense Commentary: Its not the back nine for me, its the 17th or 18th  hole. I think I'll have that engraved on my tombstone ... "The 18th hole". RB

THE BACK NINE                             Author unknown AND THEN IT IS WINTER You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is... the back nine of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that I was only on the first hole and the back nine was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like. But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting gray...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd become. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit! And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though I’m on the back nine, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...it's over. A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime. So, if you're not on the back nine yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you’re on the back nine or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!! "Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one. LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! BE HAPPY ! HAVE A GREAT DAY Remember "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. LIVE HAPPY IN 2015! LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS: ~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect! ~Going out is good.. Coming home is better! ~You forget names.... But it's OK because some people forgot they even knew you!!! ~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything like golf. ~The things you used to care to do, you aren't as interested in anymore, but you really do care that you aren't as interested. ~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV 'ON' than in bed. It's called ... "pre-sleep". ~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. ~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... ??? ~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~Everybody whispers. ~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear. ~~~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all,OLD FRIENDS!! It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived. TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN; YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LAST Do Not Regret Growing Older.  It is a Privilege Denied to Many. Author unknown

Need An Apology? .... Or Is It Forgiveness?

Common Sense Commentary: Wanting forgiveness is easy. Giving it is usually far more difficult. Wanting an apology is common. Giving an apology is far less so. These things are determined by the measure of love you have for God and for others, and the depth of our humility.

Most people, nowadays, seem to find it difficult to apologize for their own offences to others, but quickly see and resent offences to themselves. At the same time we overlook our own mistakes and sins .... we have exceptional vision in seeing the mistakes and sins of others. We will put off apologizing for a lifetime while carrying a truck load of unforgiveness for someone else's offence toward us.

If forgiveness of our offences and sins rested upon the fleshly nature of other people's willingness to forgive .... we would all go to hell.

The fact is, we human beings can both apologize for, and forgive others for insults, accidents, misunderstandings, ignorance, ill manners and such, but only God can forgive sins. We all have need of His forgiveness, which is easy and instant from Him .... if we simply ask. It isn't that easy with people.

"When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?" Mark 2:5-9.

To Toy With Sin Is To Play With Fire

Common Sense Commentary: Sin, unrepented of, is a spiritual brain cancer. Lust conceives the seed of temptation and sin is born: and the end result of sin is always ... eventual death. "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." James 1:14-15 

Temptation is common with every human being. Even Jesus was tempted by Satan, and resisted it. "Yet without sin" (Heb.4:15). But He was God in the flesh.  We are not gods. We are altogether human and must choose to turn to God for deliverance from temptation and sin. Yet, too often, we resist the Holy Spirit of God and yield to temptation, commit the sin, and suffer the consequences. We all have, by our own self will, toyed with sin as if it were an innocuous play thing... and would not damage us in some way. That is an illusion. God's word plainly warns, "The wages of sin is death". That doesn't mean we will drop dead immediately, but sin has been conceived and "when it is finished, it bringeth forth death". Many a person has had cancer for years without knowing it was there... but it eventually ended their life. A similar thing is true of the cancer of sin. "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." Ecc.8:11. When we toy with sin, we are like children paying with matches. I have known of several occasions where homes were burned down by a child with a single match. A single sin may look harmless, but when struck, it can burn down Chicago.

Sin has destroyed millions of people, homes, marriages and even nations. A wild-fire that burns thousands of acres of timber and hundreds of homes can begin with a single spark. And so it is with sin. Sin is a transgression against God, a violation of God's law, of God's word, of God's holiness. It may take years, but it's ill effects on mind and body will slowly produce the elements of death.
"The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death." Prov.3,5,6,19

Our only deliverance from the wages of sin is repentance toward our God and faith in Jesus and his death for our sins. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom.6:23. God has provided that we can exchange our sins and guilt for the free gift of God. He will take away our sin and guilt and replace it with forgiveness and life ... through faith in Christ. The longer we wait to repent.... the more difficult it is. The same is true of fire.  If not extinguished quickly ... it gets out of control. RB

It Becomes Necessary To Refute A Ridiculous Belief

Common Sense Commentary: To believe that God would send little children to hell is to expose one's self as totally ignorant of who the God of the Bible is and confesses their own vulnerability to every sort of false doctrine. The remedy is prayer and consistent Bible study which will either correct their ignorance or lead to the salvation of their souls.

There is a false doctrine which says that every human born must personally profess Jesus Christ as their Savior, no matter their age, before they die, because we are all "born in sin" (Jn.9:34), and therefore, even babies must confess Christ and be spiritually born again, or go to hell. If that were true, every fetus (baby) miscarried or aborted, and every child born who dies before they are old enough to comprehend sin, guilt or salvation, would be cast into hell. That ridiculous idea, itself, was born in hell. and is akin to the Old Testament sacrificing of young children to false gods by casting them into the fire.

David was used of God to write the Psalms, which Jesus and the Apostles quoted many times. David, though fallible, was obviously a believer in the Lord, and is now in heaven. So if he is in heaven, his infant son, born of another man's wife, is also in heaven. One reason I know that is revealed in his own words about his baby. who died shortly after his birth.... "But now he is dead ... can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." 2 Sam.12:23. David, many times professed his faith in God and the coming Messiah, Jesus, but his son never had the opportunity to profess his own faith in God or the Messiah. But David, inspired by God, said "I shall go to him"... David was saying, "We will both go to God's heaven". All miscarried, aborted or born little children go to heaven. After they reach the age of accountability it is a different matter. Since Jesus was 12 when he first chose to sit in the Temple to listen and ask questions of the doctors of theology and other Bible scholars, it may be that is approximately the age of accountability. "And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers." Luke 2:47.  That understanding and wisdom did not just suddenly fall upon him. He had seemingly already given thought to many of those things. Of course Jesus was surely more advanced in spiritual understanding than the average 12 year old, so we can't assume with any certainty when each child reaches accountability. Only God knows when a child has developed sufficiently to comprehend salvation. The age, no doubt, varies with each child's mental and spiritual development, and "understanding of God's word". As it is written, "And all the people gathered themselves together ...and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded .... And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding .... And he read therein ....from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law." Nehemiah 8:1-3."   Only "Those that could understand" were accountable to the demands of God's Law. Little children and the mentally retarded who had the minds of little children, who were too immature, and could not understand, were unaccountable ... whatever their age.


 Then, there is the case where all the infant males, in and around Bethlehem, were murdered, by King Herod's henchmen, in an effort to kill the baby Jesus. This, of course, sent up an agonizing wail of mourning from the mothers of all those babies, as was previously prophesied by Jeremiah, and fulfilled here in Matt.2:17-18..."Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."  Here is the prophecy given 606 years before its fulfillment:"Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for ... they shall come again .... And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border." Jer.31:15-17. I believe the "coming again" of those children will be at the coming again of Christ to set up His Millennial Kingdom in Jerusalem, "their own border".  Those innocent children shall live again in the Kingdom of God and of Christ... all of them.


There is another false doctrine which says that if a person, not yet born, but who is predestined to hell, "by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God", dies before or after birth, they still go to hell even as a fetus, baby or infant. That would be true IF the "foreknowledge" of God meant His personal, pre-choice, predetermined rejection of that baby for no other reason than that He did not want that particular, eternal soul. That is the unavoidable conclusion which a true Calvinist must accept as the end result of this abominable doctrine. Christening/ Infant Baptism, by some religions, resonates of these false doctrines. Neither ceremonial baptism nor any other religious rite can make a Christian of a baby or anyone else, but then, babies don't need to be "saved"... they are eternally safe until they reach personal "understanding" and accountability.  Not just because Mom or Dad said so.

The final reason I disallow such non-sense as babies and little children going to hell is this:  All Christians who have thoroughly and diligently studied the whole counsel of God, all of the Bible, know that such false doctrines as the above are not true, and also know that these things are not consistent with God our Father or with Jesus Christ. Jesus loved all little children and scolded his disciples when they turned away the little children who came to see Jesus ...."But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." Mark 10:14. Why would He do that if He rejected any little child or would send any of them, as little children, to hell? He wouldn't.
