At a place at the lake and trails where I walk a few times a week, I was surprised to see the post with a photo of Jesus was removed. 2012 will be a year of trouble, the nations supported by Iran are surrounding, and with rockets aimed at Israel, and they are going to use them.
On Saturday I was hired, to use a Camera to project into an over-flow room, a gangster shot by another gang, the chapel was full of gangster and their well-dressed woman.

As per the 2010 Pew Forum on Religion report,
53 percent of Christians in the US did not know
that Martin Luther was the person who inspired
the Protestant Reformation. So they wouldn't know that on
October 31, 1517, in the little German town of Wittenberg,
Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the church door—inviting
scholars to debate the use of indulgences; a practice
Luther believed gave believers a false assurance of their
salvation. Luther spelled out what true salvation is in his first four Theses: "
When Jesus said 'repent' He meant that believers should live a whole life repenting. Only God can give salvation—not a priest. Inwards penitence must be accompanied with a suitable change in lifestyle. Sin will always remain until we enter heaven."

and falsehood, stating "It's a lie!" . He also made it
clear that the temple of the Lord cannot save only the Lord of the temple saves
