CA pastor loses job over accurate sign about homosexuality

Last updated on: February 22, 2020 at 3:20 pm By Bethany Blankley

Pastor Hoke, who posted a controversial message on his church’s Trinity Bible Presbyterian sign, eventually resigned to maintain church unity after two local protests arose outside of his church. The sign is an accurate representation of reality: “Bruce Jenner is still a man. Homosexuality is still a sin. The culture may change. The Bible does not.” Hoke told the Daily Wire he created the sign after watching a video of a biological male (who identifies as female) who “threw a... Read more

The Associated Press reports: “What could pass for a dystopian vision of the workplace is almost routine at the Swedish startup hub Epicenter. The company offers to implant... Read more

Is a fetus an elephant? A clump of cells? Just nothing and not human? [video]

Last updated on: February 22, 2020 at 3:25 pm By Bethany Blankley

If a fetus is just a clump of cells why would there be a need to destroy it? There are numerous clumps of cells in the human body. But then, of course, if the clumps of cells aren’t human, meaning they are not protected by the U.S. Constitution, then what are they? Are they elephant cells? Seeds? A precursor to an insect? The rationale people use to destroy human life is actually quite irrational. Ben Shapiro, a conservative commentator, explains... Read more

A new report by Pew Research states that the incoming 116th Congress is slightly more religious than the prior Congress despite a decline in the number of self-identifying Christians.

A dedication to the sacrificial altar to the building of the third temple reportedly occurred in Jerusalem the day after Hanukkah in 2018. “Our job is to unify everybody in the third temple with all the nations,” one man told RISE Ministries.

Primarily practiced throughout the Islamic world, it became more widely known through several documentaries exposing its prevalence in Afghanistan.
