Largest Abortion Center in the U.S. Refused Permission to Open - Court Rejects Suit
Today a federal judge stopped Planned Parenthood of Aurora, Illinois from opening as scheduled tomorrow
By John-Henry Westen
AURORA, September 17, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A victory celebration will be underway tonight as citizens in Aurora celebrate the fact that they have at least delayed the opening of the largest abortion center in the United States. Today a federal judge stopped Planned Parenthood of Aurora from opening as scheduled tomorrow.
The massive Planned Parenthood facility applied for a building permit under false pretences and outraged the community. Led by the Pro-Life Action League, thousands have protested outside the yet-to-be opened facility for the last month attracting the attention of the international media.
"Today's court action demonstrates that truth still matters in America. This is exactly what we've been praying for these past 40 days, that Planned Parenthood would not open on September 18," said Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League, "We trust that the judge will allow Aurora to fully investigate how Planned Parenthood tried to come into town without disclosing who they were and their plans to perform abortions. Planned Parenthood had 13 appointments scheduled for Tuesday's opening. If God's answer spared 13 innocent lives, then we give the Lord the praise for the delay and the ultimate permanent closing of this abortion mill."
Planned Parenthood officials asked U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle to issue a court order allowing the clinic to open Tuesday as scheduled. But Aurora officials opposed that effort because of an ongoing investigation to determine whether the project's developer, Gemini Office Development LLC, lied on behalf of Planned Parenthood and deceived government officials by not disclosing the purpose of the clinic during the permitting process that it would be a Planned Parenthood facility that would offer abortions.

Archbishop aims to heal Anglican rift over gays
Heal the homosexual priests, not the members. Think man.
Agence France-Presse/Getty Images Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will be in New Orleans this week in an attempt to pacify the increasingly fractured Anglican Communion.
U.S. Episcopal bishops, fed up with Anglican criticism of their support for homosexual priests, implored the Anglican spiritual leader to hear their side of the story — in person.
Starting Thursday, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will be in New Orleans for that private talk, hoping he can hold together the increasingly fractured world Anglican family.
"If anybody can do it, then somebody of the intellectual stature of Rowan Williams could," said Mark D. Chapman, lecturer in systematic theology at Ripon College Cuddesdon in Oxford, England. "But it is a very tall order."
Archbishop Williams arrives in the United States facing the real danger that the global Anglican Communion could break up on his watch.
The communion, a 77-million-member fellowship of churches that trace their roots to the Church of England, has always held together members with conflicting biblical views. But debate erupted into confrontation in 2003, when the Episcopal Church consecrated its first openly homosexual bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.
Ever since, Anglican conservatives, concentrated mainly in developing countries, have pressed the Americans to promise not to consecrate another homosexual bishop. The 2.2 million-member Episcopal Church is the Anglican body in the United States.
Unlike the pope, Archbishop Williams has no direct authority to force a compromise. Instead, he listens, prays and seeks to persuade. "It's eroding and exhausting," the archbishop recently told the National Catholic Reporter, an independent U.S. weekly.
American minister sends video to Osama

Bill Keller
WASHINGTON – An American television evangelist has turned the tables on al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden – sending him a video message warning him to repent of his sins and convert to Christianity.
"Osama, since you seem to be a fan of video messages, I thought this would be the best way to communicate with you," says Bill Keller, host of the Florida-based "Live Prayer" TV program as well as LivePrayer.com in a message being posted to YouTube and 20 other major video sites in the U.S. as well as some 50 in the Middle East.
Keller said his goal was to reach out to bin Laden with a message of salvation.
"Look at you, look at your life," Keller says. "You live like a hunted goat in caves, totally dependent on a small group of people for your survival. At any moment, one of those you trust could betray you like Judas betrayed Jesus and your life would be over. The false prophet you follow, Mohammad, was poisoned to death by one of his wives."
(Story continues below)
Keller continues: "It is against the most basic standard of good and evil that your life, Osama, will be judged by historians and future generations to be one of pure, unbridled evil."
Keller has harsh words not only for bin Laden, but for Islam, as well.
"You followed the same path as the false prophet you have put your faith in – Mohammad – who, like you, was once a businessman, but who history has recorded was nothing more than a murdering pedophile who led men's souls to eternal damnation with the false religion he created," Keller says. "Islam is a 1,400-year-old lie that was born out of the voice of Satan – literally. Mohammad was correct when he stated it was Satan who initially spoke to him. He dreamed up his own god, Allah, a poor imitation of the God of the Bible, and inspired his own holy book, the Quran, a cheap imitation of the inspired, inerrant Word of God found in the Bible."
Keller calls bin Laden a "coward" and a "tool of Satan."
"There are no virgins waiting for you in Paradise when you die, only Satan and the everlasting punishment of hell," said Keller. "The good news I have come to deliver to you is that you, yes, even you Osama, can escape God's wrath. He loves you so much, that He sent Jesus to die for your sins, all of them, every last one! Yes Osama, even you can be saved and enter into the Glory of Heaven. Not some fictitious place called "paradise" with women waiting to have sex with you, but the home of God where you can find eternal peace and rest when your life on this earth is over."
He also directed some harsh words to Adam Gadahn, the former California heavy-metal music aficionado who converted to Islamism and joined al-Qaida.
"First off, you are out of your mind!" Keller says. "I read your life story. Your hero Osama was born into this lie of Islam, you were born here in the United States, exposed to the Truth of God's Word, yet you rejected that Truth and embraced the lie of Islam? You listened to too much heavy metal music dude! It rotted your brain. Look at you. You are now living like a hunted dog in the middle of hell on earth. You are using your life to further the hatred and murder and evil of this street gang you have joined. Haven't you figured out their only goal is death and destruction?"
CAIR-Tampa issued a statement that "WTOG-TV (CS44) dropped 'Live Prayer' after the station and its parent company CBS received a letter from and had discussions with the Islamic civil rights and advocacy group."
"If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting for Satan!" he wrote in his daily devotional sent out to 2.4 million e-mail subscribers.
Keller was a businessman convicted of insider trading in 1989, a crime for which he served more than two years in federal prison. After getting out, he received a degree in biblical studies from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, and has been in full-time ministry ever since.

Vatican Investigates American Theologian
The Associated Press: Vatican Investigates American Theologian
Vatican Investigates American Theologian
The Vatican and U.S. Roman Catholic bishops are investigating the writings of a well-known American theologian who has analyzed how the Catholic faith relates to other religions.
The inquiry's focus is the Rev. Peter Phan, of Georgetown University, a Vietnamese-American priest from the Dallas diocese and former president of the Catholic Theological Society of America.
The U.S. bishops' Committee on Doctrine has traded correspondence with Phan since July 2005 seeking clarification on his writings, said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, a spokeswoman for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
"There was not complete satisfaction with his response, which is why the dialogue continues," Walsh said. She did not go into further detail.
Phan declined comment Wednesday.
According a story published in the National Catholic Reporter on Wednesday, the Vatican raised concerns that Phan's 2004 book, "Being Religious Interreligiously," is "notably confused on a number of points of Catholic doctrine and also contains serious ambiguities."
The Vatican has condemned the writings of other Catholic theologians — including the Rev. Roger Haight, an American Jesuit, and the Rev. Jon Sobrino of El Salvador, a champion of liberation theology — on similar grounds.
Earlier this year, Pope Benedict XVI released a document reasserting the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, reiterating themes in the 2000 Vatican document Dominus Iesus. That document states non-Christians are "in a gravely deficient situation in comparison with those who, in the church, have the fullness of the means of salvation."
The issues underpinning Phan's case are causing great debate among Catholic theologians grappling with how Catholicism relates to other faiths outside a European context, said Terrence Tilley, chairman of the theology department at Fordham University and president-elect of the Catholic Theological Society of America.
"To come to judgment as the Vatican seems to be doing so quickly, before theologians have had time to work out and critique the positions ... it's just premature," Tilley said. "It's in a sense cutting off debate before the debate's started."

Evolution News & Views: Is It Really Intelligent Design that has the Great Derb Worried?: "Is It Really Intelligent Design that has the Great Derb Worried? The Great Derb, John Derbyshire, has spoken. And again he's muddled things badly. This time he's got himself all in a twist over a response by Tom Bethell to his letter responding to a recent column by Bethell about last spring's ID debate at AEI. (whew!) He still can't understand the obvious differences between creationism and intelligent design, continually conflating the two and looking like an ill-informed crank. And the meandering rantings don't help. Derbyshire insists on equating intelligent design and creationism because a judge agrees. 'Intelligent Design is creationism. This has been proved to courtroom standards of evidence.' He would be well served to read Traipsing Into Evolution. Even thoughtful Darwinists understand that ID and creationism are simply two different things. Leonard Susskind, hardly a creationist or IDist, writes in his book The Cosmic Landscape: 'On one side are the people who are convinced that the world must have been created or designed by an intelligent agent with a benevolent purpose. On the other side are the hard-nosed, scientific types who feel certain that the universe is the product of impersonal, disinterested laws of physics, mathematics, and probability--a wo"

Posted by soldierservant on 17th July 2007 Yep,it has come out that this pope (Ratzinger or some kind of rat) has declared the catholic church as the only true church. This coming from a church built on total lies and compromised with pagan religions. The name of this current pope sure fits him. Benedict (traitor) Ratzinger (rat). He is in essence what his name implies, a treacherous rat. I guarantee that all the popes are and will burn in hell for eternity. They have led their congregations from the truth,leading them to hell. How then will any of these pope rats escape God’s wrath? THE CHURCH NEEDS TO GET A CLUE.C ATHOLICS ARE NOT CHRISTIAN! CHRISTIANITY IS DEVOTED ONLY TO THE TEACHING AND LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST. CATHOLICISM WORSHIPS MARY, ANGELS, AND OTHER SAINTS. THIS LYING POPE SAID THAT THEIR BISHOPS GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE APOSTLES WHICH IS A TOTAL LIE! EVEN DURING JESUS’ MINISTRY HE REBUKED THOSE WHO PRAISED HIS MOTHER OVER HIM OR THE GOSPEL (LUKE 11:27). THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THIS LIE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER GOD FOR THIS.

Christians admonished to 'take ownership' of children's education (OneNewsNow.com): "Christians admonished to 'take ownership' of children's education Rusty Pugh OneNewsNow.comSeptember 7, 2007 child_in_classroom.jpg An Orlando pastor who heads the Southern Baptist Association of Christian Schools says it's time for believers to stop disobeying God and take ownership of the education of our children. Hear this Report advertisement Edward Gamble is director of the Southern Baptist Association of Christian Schools, based in Orlando. SBACS is sponsoring seminars around the country to train church leaders how to open private schools, in order to get children out of the secular public schools. Gamble says sending children to be indoctrinated by a secular, humanist institution is not biblical. 'Failure to do what God says is called disobedience. You can color it whatever color you want, but it's still disobedience -- it's rebellion,' argues Gamble. 'And when God's people don't take ownership of the education of their children, they're disobeying God.' The Southern Baptist official supports his argument with scripture. '[God] says very clearly throughout scripture 'I expect you to raise Godly seed' and 'Teach these things to your children,' He says in Deuteronomy. In Luke He says 'give a child the teachers you want him to have because when he grows up he'll look like the teacher.''"
What's New? Same old Liberals
Study: Network morning programs show heavy bias toward Democrats (OneNewsNow.com): "Study: Network morning programs show heavy bias toward Democrats Chad Groening and Jody Brown OneNewsNow.comSeptember 7, 2007 today_show.jpg A media watchdog organization says while the liberal media's biased coverage of presidential campaigns is nothing new, a recent study has revealed numbers that were quite astounding. Hear this Report advertisement The Media Research Center (MRC) has released a report called 'Rise and Shine on Democrats' which documents the coverage of more than 500 campaign segments aired this year on ABC's Good Morning America, CBS's The Early Show, and NBC's Today. Summarizing its findings, MRC says the three morning shows are 'dramatically tilting' their coverage of the 2008 presidential campaign in favor of the Democratic Party. The study found that from January 1 through July 31, those programs offered nearly twice as much coverage of the Democrats (55% to 29%), were three times as likely to have a Democratic candidate as a on-air guest, and confronted both parties with what MRC describes as 'an overwhelmingly liberal agenda.' In addition, media favorite Al Gore -- an undeclared liberal candidate -- garnered more stories than either officially announced GOP candidates Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney.

Once every 3.5 minutes of non-commercial airtime, the first hour of prime time is 'assaulted' by violence, profanity and sexual content, said the Parents Television Council (PTC) in their study. During the 2006-2007 study period, almost 90 percent of the 208 television shows reviewed contained objectionable content. FOX, the most watched network among young adult viewers, was listed as the worst among broadcast networks overall with 20.78 instances of violent, profane and sexual content each hour, which is nearly double the amount of similar content shown on the five other major broadcast networks in the study.
