Joe Ortiz' THE END TIMES PASSOVER! This is one of Joe's blog sites which is the title to one of his books that refute the Rapture to Heaven mythology. Ours is "Empowerment" theology, Not "Replacement" ~ The Old Testament church was not to be replaced, but it would be embolden. (Matthew 16:18; Isa. 49:13-23; 60:1 4). "Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar, (Proverbs 30:5-6)."

A Mark Tooley Quote
“Dismissively caricaturing American
Exceptionalism as merely self-celebration amid claims of “superiority” is
common, cheap fare that lacks serious historical appreciation and moral
reflection. Americans are not innately superior. If Christian doctrine is true, we are not intrinsically
by nature different from the German guards at Auschwitz who administered the
gas chambers. Human nature is dark. But the American creed, for all of
our failures to fully uphold it, amid our own chapters of darkness, is a divine
gift, unmerited, and worthy of cherishing, safeguarding and transmitting to
future generations. To act otherwise would be gross ingratitude.”
(Notice in yellow how he injected an unproven fact to bolster
the Jewish Holocaust narrative.)
