College Students
John Witherspoon (02/05/1723 - 11/15/1794) was a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence as a representative of New Jersey and was a clergyman in the Presbyterian church and the President of the "College of New Jersey" which later became "Princeton University." John Witherspoon was a God fearing man who evacuated the college on November, 1778, as the British forces neared and as a result, suffered financial loss. Besides serving in over a 100 committees in Congress and being the head of the Board of War, Dr.Witherspoon defended the position that a minister has the right to hold public office when the State of Georgia wrote its third Constitution in 1798.

Root cause of problems that students have at the university or college
75 to 90 percent of students, who grew up in Christian homes, leave the church when they go off to college or loose their faith. Unfortunately, a lot of the blame rests with the church and family. Most students who grew up in the church are very ignorant of the Bible, philosophy, apologetics and theology (see Hosea 4:6). To quote Dr. Robert A. Morey (top theologian & apologist) from his book titled A Christian Student's Survival Guide (Ten Campus Curses):
They do not know what they believe or why they believe it. They do not know anything about doctrine. Why?
- Anti-intellectualism from the 1920s
- Anti-creeds/confessions/catechisms
- Anti-social/political concerns
- The search for personal peace
- Entertainment-centered services
- Baby-sitting youth ministries
- Stupid Sunday Schools (S.S.S.)
We have a generation of cowards that are politically correct--this is not Biblical Christianity (see Ephesians 6:10-18). In Matthew 7:1, Christ was referring to the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, not against making righteous judgments. Christ taught to "judge righteous judgment" (John 7:24), identify and reject false prophets (Deut. 18:21, 22; Matt. 7:15-23), judge individuals who say they are Christians and live contrary to the Word of God (see Galatians 5:19-21; I John 2:4).
The Protestant church has also become feminized. This started in the 19th century with Christ being depicted as an effeminate, long-haired, blue-eyed white European male. This is not the Jesus of the Bible who was in the construction/masonry business (the Greek word for Christ's occupation has been recently discovered from fragments of papyri in that period--it was incorrectly thought that Christ was a carpenter). He is the "mighty God" of Isaiah 9:6. Even the hymns have been feminized. I was watching a TV program late at night showing the videos of the artists who sang the old 1960s and 1970s songs and the two commentators (one a woman and one a man) could not understand why the artist/singer of the popular song/hymn, "You Light Up My Life"--the original artist was Kasey Cisyk and did not become a massive success until Debby Boone's 1977 recording of the Title song--was singing a sexual song to Jesus. (Yes, the video showed towards the end of the song a small picture of a feminized Jesus.) The two commentators were bewildered and ashamed that Debby Bonne would sing a sexual song about Jesus. This is shameful that the two unbelieving commentators had more discernment than the Christians!
Before the feminization of the Protestant church, most pastors were soldiers who fought in the American Revolution (during the Civil War, pastors--for the first time in American history--were prohibited from serving in the military), hunters, mayors and judges. There were many outstanding Generals in George Washington's army who were clergymen. Oliver Cromwell (04/25/1599 - 09/03/1658) was the leader of his Puritan army that included many clergymen such as the great John Owen (1616 - 08/24/1683). Swiss Reformer Swingli (1484-1531) defended his people and liberties from an invading army--he died as a result. Preaching styles also changed. Instead of the strong doctrinal sermons of the Puritans, the clergy started giving sermons on love and nothing else--it was considered unloving to preach sermons dealing with heresy, sin and hell. Also, the members in the pew were told it was not Christian to be a policeman, defend yourself or be in the military!
The choice is between Babylon (the Mark of the Beast--666) or the Messiah/Anointed One--which one will you choose? [The UN, Western Europe will give their kingdom to the beast with its ten horns--represents ten kings--and these will hate the harlot and make it desolate--the woman is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth. The United States (Babylon the Great--the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth) and Western Europe will be judged first in the near future--see Revelation 17:1-15 & 18:1-24)]. Accepting unbiblical/heretical positions such as universalism, social justice (a code word for not preaching the Gospel of Christ; it has nothing to do about standing up for righteousness) and taking wicked positions against the family such as gay marriage--marriage is a creation ordinance (see Book of Genesis (2:18-24) -- is an abomination to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
Problems to be aware of in many Christian Clubs on university/college campuses (Christians should still join an Evangelical club on campus)
The five biggest problems that Christians will encounter in many of the Evangelical Christian clubs on university and college campuses are:
- Ecumenicalism: Christians should be accepting of all denominations or organizations even if the organization or denomination is apostate and preaching a false Gospel--this is sin and condemned in the Bible. [There are also many Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic church teaching that Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Taoists, animists, Jews, etc. can make it to heaven without accepting the Messiah as Lord and Savior as long as they are sincere in their faith and live a good life (see the 1994 edition New Catholic Catechism, Part One, Sections 839-845)]. This is a form of universalism (different ways of salvation) and is a heresy and a false Gospel. "But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that person be condemned!" (Galatians 1:7 ISV).
- I realize that there are Roman Catholics who are Evangelical or Pentecostal in their theology, Eastern Orthodox who are Evangelical and both accept Jesus Christ by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone and believe in Sola Scriptura and I expect to see them in heaven--however, this does not mean that the organization or church they belong to is not apostate. (I was a former Roman Catholic for over 161/2 years.) You could be a born-again/born from above believer in a liberal Protestant church, but this does not validate the church, it is still apostate. If the organization/church rejects the Bible as the infallible, verbal, inerrant, plenary Word of God and that it is the ultimate authority and deny one is saved 'solely' (i.e., 'only') through faith in Christ, the church is apostate. (It is "imputed" righteousness, not "infused" righteousness taught by the Roman Catholic church.) There are many Baptists, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Methodists, etc. that might be in Bible believing churches and are not born-again/born from above Christians and will end up in hell. Some people claim being Baptist and are Unitarian! The church you belong to does not make one a true Christian. Exam yourself to see if you are in the faith. "Keep examining yourselves to see whether you are continuing in the faith. Test yourselves! You know, do not you, that Jesus Christ lives in you? Could it be that you are failing the test?" (2 Corinthians 13:5 ISV).
- (Please do not be offended over my criticism of an organization's doctrine and do not construe this as personal attacks on the character of the individuals--we are dealing with doctrine/theology, not a person's motive.) This why Evangelical clubs cannot and should not hold hands theologically with liberal Protestant churches, the Roman Catholic church, Greek Orthodox church, etc. This does not imply that you cannot work together on political matters that affect our country. The Evangelical clubs should not be sponsoring--on theological matters--speakers who are Roman Catholic or humanist Protestant speakers [who have been indoctrinated by the Jesuits who use the pagan philosophy of Aristotle (387 - 322 BC) via Thomas Aquinas (1225 -03/07/1274)]. I have been to many lectures over the past 7 years sponsored by Protestant Evangelical Christian clubs at Princeton University and I am bewildered that so many of the speakers sponsored are either Roman Catholic or Protestant humanist apologists indoctrinated in the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas. I have also been to many of the lectures at Princeton University sponsored by the Catholic club on campus and the speakers had no problem criticizing/bashing the Protestant church and its doctrines and claiming they are the true church, which is their constitutional right to do so. What is wrong with the Protestant Evangelical clubs?
- Natural Theology: It relies on the Greek philosophic doctrine of human autonomy: "Man is the measure of all things." Man does not need special revelation; i.e., the Bible to determine truth, morals and beauty. The word nature can be defined by human "nature" ; that is, man can find truth, morals and beauty by human reason (Rationalism), experience (Empiricism) and feelings (Mysticism) or "nature" is sometimes referred to as the "universe"; that is, perceived, measured, and weighed by the five senses. The natural theologians always had a difficult time defining the word "nature." The OT prophets and the NT Apostles rejected pagan philosophies and heathen religions as idolatrous and demonic in worship (see Deut. 32:17; Ps 106:36-7; 1 Cor. 10:20; Gal. 4:8; Rev. 9:20). Dr. Van Til, Dr. Francis Schaeffer, Dr. Gordon Clark, Calvin, Luther, the Reformers, etc. rejected natural theology as a heresy.
Historical note: The Jesuit order--a military enforcement arm of the Roman Catholic Church founded by Ignatius of Loyola of Spain in 1534 during the reign of Pope Paul III--was created to bring the Protestants back to Rome when violence and murder did not work. In order to undermine the Reformation, Catholic universities and colleges were build throughout Protestant nations where the Jesuits could teach natural theology, natural apologetics and later middle knowledge to promote reunification with Rome. This is why many so-called Protestant apologists/theologians, who have been schooled by the Jesuits, have adopted natural theology via Thomas Aquinas for their apologetics. (It should be noted that Thomas Aquinas renounced his teachings at the end of his life). Many Protestant apologists have also converted to Roman Catholicism such as, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. Peter Kreeft and just recently Dr. Francis Beckwith (who taught at Princeton University for one year and I personally had some discussions with him on his heretical theology) all were trained in Jesuit schools. The philosophy is antithetical to the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura. (The debate is over "special revelation" vs. "human reason", not "faith" vs. "reason". Don't let the humanists rig the debate.)
- Political Correctness: Christian students want to just get along with everyone and want people to like them. This cult of popularity is condemned in the Bible. "How terrible it will be for you when everyone says nice things about you, for that's the way their ancestors used to treat the false prophets!" (Luke 6:26 ISV.) So they do not stand up for Christ and defend the faith. The Christian student should be winning other students to Christ, involved in clubs, newspapers, school offices, etc. and teaching the Christian view of things. Unfortunately, many Christians are humanists and do not understand what a "Christian worldview" is. Christ is Lord over all areas--preaching the Gospel is an application of taking dominion for Christ. Another cop out is "relationship" Evangelism, which is a code word for cowardice. I never knew that Apostle Paul had a relationship with everyone he preached the Gospel to. All Christian students and non-students should be engaged in apologetics in their day to day witnessing. Christians have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to be Christ's witness bearers (Matt. 28:19, 20; Acts 1:8)--one aspect of witness bearing is the task of apologetics. God wants every believer to be "competent to defend the Faith" (Jude 3). There should be a desire and concern among Christian students in reaching the Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists and so on with the Gospel of Christ. Many of the above mentioned groups only see a false or feminized Christianity being presented in a pagan, immoral America, which they think represents true Christianity. Engage the culture on campus and sponsor speakers who will refute other religions and present the true God.
I was at a lecture given by Dr. William Lane Craig in the early 2000's--sponsored by the Veritas Forum at Princeton University--on the topic "Does God Exist"? During the question and answer session, a Muslim student asked the following question, "Why is Christianity true and the other religions false"? The other students started to applaud--the students were not interested in whether God existed or not, but which God is true. Unfortunately, Dr. Craig did not want to engage the students on this topic. Dr. Craig is a nice guy--however, he has been misled by natural theology. This is a perfect example of "political correctness" on university campuses--there was no preaching of the Gospel of Christ and the heathen religions were not refuted as Apostle Paul did in his preaching.
- Evolution: Unfortunately, many Christian students do not believe in the Book of Genesis. You cannot even defend marriage if you do not believe in the Book of Genesis--marriage is a "creation ordinance" (see Genesis 2:15-25). If you understand the philosophy of science, you will be able to answer any scientist who tries to refute the Bible because of the Book of Genesis. Yes, you can intellectually defend Genesis and be a creationist! Science does not discover truth--you cannot discover absolute truth (see the "Creation Sites" Tab above). The condemnation of Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) by the Roman Catholic Church for his adoption of the heliocentric model of the universe was not over "science" vs. "religion", but "science vs. "science". It was "Aristotelian" science (a geocentric model of the universe) vs. "Copernicus" science (a heliocentric model of the universe).
- Legalism: This is a typical trick by Satan to keep the Christian in bondage. The Christian is basically living under the law--in other words, a Christian was saved by grace, but trying to be sanctified by the law. It is retrogressive to turn back to the Old Testament laws and be under the "beggarly elements". "However, in the past, when you did not know God, you were slaves to things that are not really gods at all. But now you turn back again to those powerless and bankrupt basic principles? Why do you want to become their slaves all over again? You are observing days, months, seasons, and years. I am afraid for you, lest somehow my work for you has been wasted!" (Galatians 4:8-11 ISV.) The Old Covenant (a legal contract made in time/space) was defective, not the Old Testament (a literary document). The Israelites were under a tutor/law--they were told how to dress, what to eat, how to cut their hair, how to worship by a highly structured liturgy, etc. This is not in the New Testament. The New Testament gives believers moral directives to apply to all of life, but does not give us minute directions as in the Old Testament. Galatians states:
"Tell me, those of you who want to live under the law: Are you really listening to what the law says? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and the other by a free woman. Now the son of the slave woman was conceived according to the flesh, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise. This is being said as and allegory, for these women represent two covenants. The one woman, Hagar, is from Mount Sinai, and her children are born into slavery. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery along with her children. But the heavenly Jerusalem is the free woman, and she is our mother". (Galatians 4:21-26 ISV.)
Typical examples of legalism (under the law—see Rom. 3:20, 28; 7:1-6; Gal. 3:1-5; 4:4-5):
1. Sabbatarianism, which the Reformers such as Calvin and Luther believed it was ceremonial and no longer binding;
2. Abstinence from alcohol (Alcoholic Beverages in the Bible--PDF) ;
3. No dancing; and
4. Cannot go to the movies (probably influenced by a false strain of Platonic thinking).
The above does not imply "antinomianism" (without the law), which is sin (see John 14:15) or "perfectionism" (above the law)--see 1 John 1:8-10), “Positionalism” (no holiness in life-see Heb. 12:14; I John 2:4, 6), “Passivism” (let go, let God—see Phil. 2:12; Col. 1:29; Gal. 2:20), “Mysticism” (over-emphasis on Holy Spirit—see Isa. 8:20; John 16:7-15), “Rationalism” (under-emphasis on the Holy Spirit—see I Cor. 2:14; Eph. 5:18), and “Carnal Christianity” (heresy—see Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-7;1 John 3:7-8).
No Christian church is perfect and you might have dedicated and Godly people that were not given the amount of grace or understanding in certain areas--they are called blind spots. However, Christians should correct themselves if God (by the Holy Spirit and Bible) is giving them understanding and clarification on Biblical doctrine in those areas mentioned above. The Holy Spirit never contradicts the Bible. The Bible is the ultimate authority/ final authority for doctrine. (Recommended book on this difficult subject entitled How the Old & New Testaments Relate to each Other by Dr. Robert A. Morey.)Apologetics and the Lordship of Christ in all Areas of Life
For information on how to defend the faith and apply the Lordship of Christ to all areas of Life see the Apologetics Tab. Topics covered: Apologetics, Word Religions, Book Reviews, Film Reviews, Natural Theology, Church History, Abortion & Capital Punishment, Economic & National Security Issues, Illegal Immigration, Second Amendment, etc. The topics are analyzed from a Biblical perspective (God is the one who determines right and wrong). It is unfortunate that so many of our Christian college students and the squishy Evanjellyfish community (a word used by Dr. John MacArthur to describe many Evangelicals in America today) have been brainwashed by the secular humanists (see Politics/Voting Tab) on many of the topics mentioned above. I highly recommend the book entitled A Christian Student’s Survival Guide below—every Christian student should have this book. The student will be able to defend the Book of Genesis (even against Princeton University science professors who are evolutionists and atheists) and refute all non-Christian religions and pagan philosophies. There is no other book published that has this information such as the Philosophy of Science , Creation Ex-Nihilo, How Do We Know the Bible is the Word of God ?, World Religions, Cults, A Biblical View of Political Science, Introduction to Apologetics, etc.
Recommended CD, An Evening at the Well— free download on iTunes (Dr. Robert A. Morey gives a lecture to Christian singles in Southern California at Greg Laurie’s group “The Well” at Harvest Christian Fellowship—he also spoke to a Christian Club at Harvard University.) Every college student should have this book titled A Christian Student’s Survival Guide. Also, you can access his free sermons offered on Apple iTunes at < http://www.faithdefenders.com/ >.
People pay thousands of dollars for silly conferences on how to reach the youth in America for Christ. One of the most difficult demographic is the 18 to 28 year old singles in Southern California. If you are a preacher studying homiletics and wondering where you can learn to be effective in ministering to young people in a postmodern context, then save the thousands of dollars and listen to this track for free and hear for yourself the message that Dr. Morey gave to Greg Laurie’s group “The Well” at Harvest Christian Fellowship. Young people at this event told us that for many of them this was the most monumental and epic event in their Christian life! Dr. Morey tried to end the message after preaching on 2nd Ephesians for over an hour. Listen to the hostile crowd yelling at him to keep preaching and forget about the clock!

Witnessing in Princeton, NJ CD from Faith Defenders Apostle Paul witnessing in Athens
Want to Learn how to Evangelize to Fellow Students?
Recommended ministries for College, University & High School students in NJ, PA or NY to contact who want learn how to Evangelize and defend the faith on campuses or how to witness on the Streets—students can get real training by actually going out with either NJIAT or Street Light Ministries or CHANGE Collegiate Network to such places as Princeton, Rutgers University, University of Pennsylvania, New York City, etc. NJIAT can also be contacted via e-mail (see Contact Tab on bottom) and we will direct you to the appropriate people for Evangelism. It is unfortunate that so many students are ashamed of the Gospel of Christ and will not actively witness on camp—this is in direct violation of Scripture (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 8:1-4 & 1 Thess. 1:7-10—see the Witnessing Tab). There have been only two Princeton University students, one who graduated in 2010 and the other in 2007, who would openly evangelize to their fellow classmates. A Princeton University campus leader came out to witness with one of the students and liked it; however, he was told by his superiors he could no longer join the Christian student in Evangelizing at Princeton University. What a disgrace!
(Click the PDF File on "Evangelism in Princeton, NJ" --name of group and Evangelists' names removed for security reasons.)
Free Tract from NJIAT--the Tract is titled Will a One World Religion/Government Bring World Peace?; it is a great Tract to use for witnessing to secular humanists on college campuses. (See Witnessing Tab for PDF file--scroll towards the bottom to find file).

Students Should be Warned of so-called Christian Psychological Counseling
Citizens Commission on Human Rights—Watchdog Investigating & Exposing Psychiatric Human Rights Violations
(Also, see PDF on Psychology & the Church below; one will find some great books written on this subject such as PsychoHeresy that examines four commonly-held myths about psychology, analyzes attempts to integrate psychology with the Bible, reveals research exposing the fallacies of psychological counseling, and encourages a return to Biblical foundations for Christian living by Dr. Martin & Deidre Bobgan—recommended by Dr. Jay E. Adams, Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, and Dave Hunt & T.A McMahon).
Christian psychologists justify visualizing "Jesus" as a necessary "inner healing" therapeutic technique for dealing with "traumas" that are supposedly buried in the unconscious. This is nothing more than shamanism (witchcraft)--visualizing "inner guides" that are also used in self-improvement techniques. What happened to prayer, repentance, obedience, faith, filling of the Spirit, etc.?
Did you know that occult and New Age authors boldly brag that the human founding fathers of Psychotherapy and Psychology received their understandings from “familiar spirits”? Did you know that some pastors today are taking over churches and church bank accounts and then selling the land and the church? James Sundquist, author of Who’s Driving the Purpose Driven Church? and Rick Warren’s Global P.E.A.C.E. Plan, and David Bay reveal how the Emerging Church and Purpose Driven Church movements are destroying Christianity in the United States. (See the following website: The Perfect Peace Plan .)

Why Christian Clubs on College and University Campuses should not invite guest speakers who have been indoctrinated in Natural Theology and Natural Law or Thomas Aquinas
Evangelical theologians have historically believed that: 1. The Bible is the Verbal, Plenary, Inspired, infallible, Inerrant Word of God; 2. Rejected the Roman Catholic concept of the “doctrine of invincible ignorance” (see Catholic Catechism, 1994) that states that the Heathen could discover enough truth either from nature or human reason/rationalism, observation/empirism, etc. outside of special revelation (the Bible) to be saved, which mainline Protestants adopted during the 1920’s as part of their liberalism; 3. Evangelicals believed that the Heathen must hear of and believe in Jesus Christ and His Gospel to be saved; 3 All religions developed outside of or in total isolation from Biblical religion were wicked, idolatrous, violent, vile, perverted—examples: cannibalism and human sacrifices of Native American religions, Central and Southern American Religions such as the Mayans, Zapotecs, Mixtecs, Aztecs. Central and Southern Africa and Asian religions were just as evil; and 4. Common ground with all people via Creation, Fall, and Redemption, not humanistic common grounds such as the misnomer that Apostle Paul used pagan philosophy on Mars Hill as common ground between him and the unbelievers, he actually insulted their belief system. Apostle Paul never appealed to reason or rationality in Acts 17, but reasoned or “argued with them from the Scriptures”—the Apostles and Prophets, preached the Gospel to Gentiles and Jews, which included sin and repentance (see the Witnessing Tab for article titled Paul’s Purpose at Athens & The Problem of “Common Ground” by Dr. Wright on this subject); 5. History has a beginning and an end and is progressing to a predetermined end (the earth will be burned, people resurrected for judgment—eternal life or eternal condemnation--and then a new heavens and new earth will be ushered in by the Lord), not that there is a positive progress in history and everything is getting better that has led to such heresies as evolution, Marxism.; this is why the philosophies of Lenin, Marx, Darwin and Hegel falls apart if history is not progressing toward a good end.
During the 1980’s, the Evangelical community did not have a solid commitment to the authority of the Bible, many so-called Evangelicals have adopted the Roman Catholic view that the Heathen could be saved without accepting Jesus Christ as their savior—this is also known as the “The wideness of God’s mercy” coined by John Sanders, Clark Pinnock, and Robert Schuler (Billy Graham even agreed with this doctrine on his TV program—see YouTube on the Witnessing Tab). This has caused many Protestants to convert to Roman Catholicism. A list of Protestant Apostates: Peter Kreeft, author of Ecumenical Jihad, Handbook of Christian Apologetics [published by InterVarsity Press (IVP)], J. Budziszewski, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. Frank Beckwith (who taught a Princeton University), etc. (Listing someone as a Protestant Apostate does not imply that the person(s) are evil or immoral, but rather that they have abandoned the historic Protestant Reformation theology such as justification by faith alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone; that is, saved “solely” through faith in Christ. It is “imputed” righteousness, not “infused” righteousness, which is a works-based salvation. This is a false Gospel condemned in Galatians--the Bible is the ultimate authority in all matters.

Princeton University invites Dr. Mark Knoll from Wheaton College, who is an adherent to Aquinas’ Natural Theology & Natural Law (a secret Thomist) Sponsored by Manna Fellowship on 03/05/05
Dr. Mark Knoll from Wheaton College, who is now teaching at Notre Dame, gave a lecture on 03/05/05 entitled Problems with Present Systems: Reasons for Voting None of the Above at Princeton University (he was sponsored by Manna Fellowship a respectable Bible based Evangelical club on campus, who had good intentions). Dr. Mark Knoll defended Thomas Aquinas and Natural Theology when confronted with a question by the President of NJIAT that Natural Theology is anti-Biblical. Unfortunately, many of the students were ignorant to the fact that Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) was a heretic who renounced his teachings before he died—he denied justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, apart from works; justification is that act of God in which the imputed righteousness of Christ is credited to your account--he believed in infused righteousness, which is a works based salvation in addition to other heresies (see what Aquinas wrote in his Summa Theologica, ii, 1, question 100, article 12)]. Evangelical ministries should not be promoting or endorsing Natural Theology, Thomas Aquinas (a heretic) or sponsoring speakers who are humanist apologists (Natural Theologians)—Dr. Cornelius Van Til, Dr. Francis Schaeffer, Dr. Gordon Clark, Martin Luther, John Calvin and so on condemned Natural Theology and Thomas Aquinas.
“Can there be morality without God?” Princeton University had a debate between Mr. Dinesh D’Souza and Dr. Peter Singer that was co-sponsored by Christian Union and The Fixed Point Foundation on December 3, 2008 (see flyer <http://involve.christian-union.org/site/DocServer/Dec3_DSouza-Singer_debate_ticket_info.pdf?docID=2621 > or Princeton University Info Ticket Flyer-PDF)
Unfortunately, many Christian guest speakers invited by college and university Evangelical clubs such as Princeton University have been a disaster because the so-called Christian was an adherent to Thomas Aquinas, Natural Theology and Natural Law, ecumenical, worldview was not based on Sola Scriptura (the Bible alone), but on Greek Philosophy—which God has declared human philosophy “foolishness” (1 Cor. 1:20)—and do not believe that the Bible is the Verbal, Plenary, Inspired, infallible, Inerrant Word of God, and adopted the Roman Catholic concept of the “doctrine of invincible ignorance” that states the heathen can discover enough truth from “nature” to be saved without hearing or believing in Jesus Christ and His Gospel. This is why the debate co-sponsored by Christian Union < http://involve.christian-union.org/site/PageServer?pagename=homepage > and The Fixed Point Foundation < http://www.fixed-point.org/ > on December 3, 2008 at Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall, Princeton University between Mr. Dinesh D’Souza and Dr. Peter Singer was a big disappointment. Many true blue Protestant apologists such as Dr. Robert Morey could have easily refuted Dr. Singer and Christ would have been glorified that evening and the students would have had intelligent Biblical answers to their questions—Dr. Gordon Clark, Dr. Van Til, Dr. Francis Schaeffer, and the other great true blue Protestant apologists, if alive, would have also easily defeated Dr. Singer or any other person with a non-Christian belief system.)
Evangelical Clubs at the College of New of New Jersey (TCNJ) Sponsor Evangelical apologist (Frank Turek) to debate Christopher Hitchens (Atheist) on March 31, 2009 (see the TCNJ Flyer--PDF)
The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) on, March 31, 2009, held a debate between Frank Turek (a nice guy, but brain washed by the Thomists --who adhere to the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas-- and Christopher Hitchens. You basically had two humanists arguing with each other, but Christopher Hitchens was smart enough to know that Paley and Rationalism (David Hume refuted Rationalism and the mechanistic worldview) had been discredited a long time ago. Dr. Francis Schaeffer stated, “A Christian humanist is a humanist.”
Why are Jesuit-trained apologists on the college circuit?
Dr. Norman Geisler was the first to openly break with the historic evangelical position on Aquinas. In his small book defending Thomas Aquinas, he stated that since the previous generation of Protestant apologists, such as Carl Henry, Francis Schaeffer, Van Til, etc. were now dead, the time was now ripe for him and other secret Thomists to come “out of the closet.” These Jesuit-trained Thomists would have had their sorry asses kicked out of the evangelical circuit by the great Evangelical scholars, if they were alive, such as Dr. Van Til, Dr. Gordon Clark, Dr.Carl F. Henry, Dr. Francis Schaeffer, etc. They all rejected Aquinas’ Natural Theology and Natural Law. They understood that the doctrine of sola scriptura was the basis of the Reformation—that is, sola scriptura.
Start a Conservative/Protestant Bible Club on a College/University campus
What kind of Constitution and Statement of Faith should a Protestant/Evangelical Club have?
The Bible Clubs' Constitution and Statement of Faith should be very detailed in order to prevent the Bible Club from becoming ecumenical or liberal. (This has occurred many times in Bible Clubs.) Any leaders/officers or voting members should be conservative Protestant/Evangelicals. The general non-voting membership can be open to anyone who wants to join. This is the preferred method because I have personally witnessed many college/university Bible Clubs being taken over by liberals who do not believe in the Bible or other non-Protestants--in other words, the Bible Club becomes ecumenical. A student who is not a conservative Protestant/Evangelical should not take this as an insult. (I was a former Catholic--who became a born-again Christian while in high school--and I do encourage Catholic college/university students to join a Protestant Bible believing club.) If one has a Catholic Club, a Jewish Club or a Muslim Club and the leadership/officers elected are true-blue Protestants, then the club is no longer a Catholic Club, a Jewish Club or a Muslim Club.
Help for writing a Constitution and Statement of Faith
I have written a Constitution and Statement of Faith that a college/university student can download. A few comments on the Constitution and Statement of Faith:
- The "Voting Membership Statement of Faith" is very detailed--however, it is broad enough to allow a conservative Protestant Bible believing Baptist, Reformed Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Pentecostal, etc. to be an eligible "Voting Member" and "Officer".
- The "Non-Voting Membership Statement of Faith" is a brief statement that should be promoted by the club for "Non-Voting" members to accept--it is not mandatory to accept the statement of faith for general membership in the club because the student would be a "Non-Voting" member.
- The "Constitution" is required by the college/university and spells out the purpose of the club, qualifications of the members, student leadership, etc.

Note: Students can start a new Bible club or just belong to an existing Bible club on college campus and still work alongside CHANGE Collegiate Network (CNN). [Students can also start a chapter of CHANGE Collegiate Network (CNN) at their college.] They will help disciple and train the students on how to evangelize and share their faith on campus (if the campus ministry needs advanced apologetics and theology material, ask the President of CHANGE Collegiate Network (CNN) for Faith Defenders books and CD’s located at< http://faithdefenders.com/>. Most campus ministries are not openly evangelizing or engaging the culture as commanded by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ( Matt. 28:18-20, Acts 1:8; 8:1-4; 1 Thess. 1:7-10—see Witnessing and Apologetics links). Instead they have seeker friendly campus ministries. As a result, many of the students who are true born-again Christians on campus and attend a campus ministry are not being feed because the leadership does not want to offend non-Christian students that might be attending. This is not how an Evangelical campus ministry should be set up—I am not condemning or throwing stones at all the Evangelical ministries on college campuses (there are many faithful ones who are doing a great job) just pointing out some of the problems. What happens is that the campus ministries end up being filled with unregenerate/unconverted college students. It should also be mentioned that many so-called Evangelical college campus ministries have either compromised the Gospel with holding hands with Rome or have gone apostate.
Comments for the Christian Leadership on College/University Campuses regarding the recent Supreme Court Ruling (Christian Legal Society v. Martinez)
There recent decision by 5 wicked Supreme Court Justices against Christian clubs (Christian Legal Society v. Martinez) was the result of secular humanists judges being appointed to the Supreme Court —elections have consequences and look at who appointed the Supreme Court Justices that ruled against Christians. The ACLJ represented the following Christian campus ministries that operate across the nation: The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Campus Crusade for Christ, the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Campus Bible Fellowship International, Chi Alpha Campus Ministries, Young Life (through its Young Life College program), the Navigators, ReJOYce IN JESUS Ministries, Inc., and the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS). The ACLJ also represented Alpha Delta Chi, a national Christian sorority, and Alpha Gamma Omega, a national Christian fraternity. I would ask these groups the following question: “Are they teaching the students to apply the Lordship of Christ to politics and voting?” The recent voting record (2008) for the Presidential and Congressional races of many of the college Christian leadership on campus reveals they are either misinformed, secular humanists in their worldview or just stupid. Consult the ACLJ on the recent decision—they are located at http://www.aclj.org/ or see the Christian Legal Help Tab.

Start a Political Club at a College or University
Yes, students can form a political club at college such as starting a chapter of the College National Republican Committee or a chapter of the Constitution Party, etc. Students should try to influence both major parties (Democrats and Republicans) and other third parties to put God, the Constitution, Bill of Rights (which includes the 2nd Amendment) and country first. Unfortunately, both major parties have been heavily influenced by the one-worlders, secular humanists, and free-traders (Karl Marx supported free-trade) who do not believe in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. (See the Politics/Voting Tab on website that explains what a Christian's responsibility is in politics and why voting for anti-Christian and secular humanist candidates is sin and why God will hold you accountable.) See list of different political parties below.

Search Bills, Voting Records and who is donating to the politicians
Sometimes a citizen has to vote for the lesser of two evils; however, if a Christian or non-Christian votes for candidates who have sold out to humanistic and anti-God positions, this is sin and not applying the Lordship of Christ in all areas of life (see my Worldview, Constitution, Global Warming, Militant Lifestyles and Personal Finance/Economic Issues links on this website for further information on these topics).

What is a Rockefeller Republican or Democrat?
In 1964, Senator Barry Goldwater, a conservative who did not fit the establishment mold, managed to get the GOP presidential nomination. Not only did the Democratic Party work against him, but his own party also worked against him—Nelson Rockefeller, a New York governor and leader of the liberal (secular humanist) and establishment wing of the GOP, helped to sabotage Goldwater’s campaign. As a result, Barry Goldwater lost the 1964 election to Lyndon Johnson (Democrat), another big liberal (humanist) who plunged America into the Vietnam War. They are internationalists and believe in a one world government. [It should be noted that President Ronald Reagan [Republican (1981-1989)] intially rejected the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party when campaigning. President Reagan began his 1980 campaign for the GOP nomination and eventual election by targeting the "19 key members of the Carter administration" who are or have been members of the Trilateral Commission (started in 1973 by David Rockefeller with the help of Zbigniew Brzezinski with most of its members also belonging to the Council on Foreign Relations--CFR). President Reagan and his aides were initially opposed to TC members in government posts because they were soft on defense. After the election, however, he ended up supporting many of the CFR's foreign and domestic policies and appointed many TC/CFR members to various government positions that included George H.W. Bush, Caspar Weinberger, Paul Volcker, etc. [President Reagan should be commended on his appointment of Antonin Gregory Scalia, a strict-constructionist judge, to the Supreme Court (Justice Clarence Thomas—another great judge—was appointed by former President George H. W. Bush) and signing into law the Equal Access Act to cure anti-religious bigotry by some public school officials, and so on.]
President Obama has 17 members in his administration who are TC members such as Timothy Geithner. [The Department of Homeland Security, which was conceived before 9/11 by a take force called the U.S. Commission on Naitonal Security and nine of whose 12 members belong to the CFR, include Janet Napolitano (Secretary and CFR member), Jane Holl Lute (Deputy Secretary and CFR member), Juliette Kayyem (Assistant Secretary, Office of Intergovernmental Programs and CFR member), and Alan Bersin (Assistant Secretary, Office of International Affairs and CFR member.) If one looks in the other government's key areas under Barack Obama such as finance, defense, foreign policy, etc., they are filled with CFR members.] The idea that Barack Obama became president from a "grass-roots" movement is a joke. There allegations being made, especially from Dr. James Manning and other media outlets (see Atlah Media Network at www.atlah.org and article titled Bombsell: Barack Obama outed as CIA creation) that Barack Obama was a CIA operative in Afghanistan helping the Taliban fight the Soviet Union from 1981-1985. Barack Obama's own work for the Business International Corporation in 1983 was a front for the CIA to conduct business seminars to high ranking leaders in the world. Of course, former President George H. W. Bush was Director of the CIA, but this was public knowledge.
Note: There is nothing wrong with working for intelligence agencies such as the CIA, who have many dedicated and patriotic employees---however, when the true God and the Constitution and Bill of Rights no longer matter, then it becomes a matter of betraying the country and offending the Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
Background Information and Clarification on Rockefeller Repubicans, Democrats and the CFR
[See article entitled Rockefeller Republicans by Patrick J. Buchanan <http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=204481> Are these Republican scribes and senators not the same folks who went all-out for NAFTA and GATT and the WTO and MFN and PNTR for China, those brilliant trade deals that gave us $5 trillion in trade deficits, wiped out 6 million manufacturing jobs and 50,000 factories in one decade, and put us into permanent debt to China?
(Note: The Democrats also voted for these so-called free trade agreements (Karl Marx promoted free trade because it would lead to Socialism)-- President Clinton signed NAFTA into law in 1994. Many Rockefeller Republicans & Democrats are either members of Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) or affiliated or influenced by them who must promote un-constitutional free trade policies and the destruction of the sovereignty of this country(open borders/illegal immigration); in other words, they cannot support the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Their publications such as the Foreign Affairs Journal is a well written journal and many of its members are highly educated people that have good intentions for bringing world peace and economic stability, but the policies promoted lean towards a global government at the expense of the sovereignty of the United States and disregard the supreme ruler of the universe (the God of the Bible)—one will be surprised on how many conservative and liberal organizations, corporations, media corporations, government officials etc. have CFR members in their ranks or have them on their boards or are major contributors (CFR’s “Profile of the Membership” in its 2008 Annual Report lists 398 members out of 4,338 as “Journalists, Correspondents, and Editors”, The New American, 10/11/10 edition, entitled Pushing Government-Funded “Public” Media, pages 26-30, < http://www.thenewamerican.com/>) —see< http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/foreign-policy/4460-trilateral-commission-keeps-expanding > & The Real Newt Gingrich(CFR member) DVD and he is on record stating that the U.S. Constitution is obsolete < http://www.shopjbs.org/index.php/videos/the-real-newt-gingrich.html >.]
Many students are told that the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) is nothing more than a policy study group. However, students are unaware that its origins started in 1921 with Colonel Edward Mandel House--an internationalist who spearheaded the League of Nations. As chief advisor and right-hand man to President Wilson, it was Colonel Mandel who encouraged President Wilson to sign the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 into law (an unconstitutional act). Dr. Richard N. Haass, President of the CFR, in an op-ed article, dated February 17, 2006, entitled Sovereignty and Globalisation wrote, "States must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies, if the international system is to function." Dr. Richard N. Haass further went on to state that "the goal should be to redefine sovereignty for the era of globalisation, to find a balance between a world of fully sovereign states and an international system of either world government or anarchy." (See The New American, May 9, 2011 issue, entitled "Groomed for Globalism" pages 28 through 32.
Dr. Richard N. Haass sets up a false dichotomy with the choice between world government or anarchy, which international affairs students are presented and taught on college campuses. Dr. Gordon H. Clark stated in his book A Christian View of Men and Things: "...Christian presuppositons justify civil governments of limited rights, whereas humanistic principles imply either anarchy or totalitarianism". Man's attempt to bring a one world government/religion will be very short lived. God with bring an end to it by His fierce judgments. It is only the Messiah (King of Kings) who will establish a righteous one world government/religion on this earth where He will rule, not man. Anyone going along with the present one world religion/government (the mark of the beast--666) will be eternally condemned. "All those living on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb that was slaughtered from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8, ISV).
Modern humanists/liberals do not believe in the historic understanding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and thus the historic meaning of freedom of religion—in other words, you can believe what you want, but cannot practice it or teach religion (Biblical Christianity) to your children!
[It should be noted that the NJIAT President is not promoting a conspiracy theory, but only pointing out that if true conservative Republicans, Democrats or third party members do not participate in the primary election and general election then the humanists will control the party’s platform and policies--there will not be a one-world government and one-world religion until the very end when Satan will be allowed to send strong delusion with miraculous powers (2 Thessalonians). We only have small attempts by one-worlders to manipulate things--there are groups and foundations (see Civic Organizations link for book titled Foundations of Betrayal) that are trying to undermine this country, Constitution and Bill of Rights and those individuals controlling such groups or foundations should be tried for treason.]
[See the Politics/Voting or Constitutional Tab for what the requirements are for a U.S. President and meaning of "Natural- Born Citizen"--Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5--both parents have to be U.S. citizens at time of birth.]
What positions and laws should the Republican, Democrat & Third parties support and not support?
Both major parties should not be promoting or legislating wickedness such as civil unions, gay marriage, gay adoption, abortion, androgyny [ (Rom. 1:26-27); cross-dressing is even condemned (Deut. 22:5)], hate crime laws (a code word for silencing different opinions or restricting or outlawing religious freedom that has already occurred in Canada and many parts of Europe), anti-2nd Amendment laws (the right of self-defense) against law-abiding citizens, anti-military, anti-family [mocking the father’s headship in the family and male’s headship in the church-- the early church did have women deaconesses and elders (mature women/spiritually mature—1 Timothy 5:9-13, Titus 2:3-5, the presbutidas-i.e., women elders); however, the women elders discipled the young women and were under the authority of the male elders and had no authority over the men in the church and were not pastors], oppression of widows, orphans, etc. (James 1:27), exploiting the wage earner/advice to the rich (James 5:4-5), persecuting the Boy Scouts, laws against drilling for oil in our own land, appointing activist/humanist judges who do not believe in the original intent of the Constitution, global warming laws (based on pseudo-science), uncontrollable/unsealed borders with rampant illegal immigration, etc.
Nations will be judged by the Almighty God of the Bible on their anti-Biblical laws legislated in addition to the rejection of the Messiah—
“For all the nations have drunk from the wine of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her. The merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her luxury. Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you don’t participate in her sins and suffer from her plagues. For her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Do to her as she herself has done. Give her double for her deeds. Mix a double drink for her in the cup she mixed.” [Revelation 18:3-6 (ISV).]
A nation’s culture reflects its worldview (beliefs, values, morals, etc.) A culture is judged on the basis of its laws, which are codified beliefs, values, and morals (Jeremiah 6:22-23; Titus 1:12-13). Pre-Christian Greek and Roman pagan cultures codified anti-biblical laws supporting infanticide, abortion, child abuse and rape, suicide, incest, murder for entertainment, etc. These laws were changed after the Christians became involved in the culture-forming process in the Roman Empire. There are no secular/sacred, nature/grace (Thomas Aquinas), mind/matter (Plato), form/essence (Aristotle) and phenomenal/noumenal (Emmanuel Kant) dichotomies taught in the bible—Christ is Lord over all of life as taught by the Bible and Reformation, which believed in sola scriptura (special revelation) in deciding truth, morals, justice and beauty. Yes, all of life is under the Lordship of Christ—all of life is religious and there is no secular realm. Unfortunately, Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 A.D.) embraced Aristotle’s philosophy [although his intention was to defend Christianity] and the return of the dichotomistic thought of “Essence/ Form” that became “Grace/ Nature”— reason vs. faith, which was renamed “nature” and “grace”; some things were true according to reason and some things were true according to faith. This is not Biblical. The real debate is between “special revelation” vs. “human reason”, “experience”, etc. in determining truth—one cannot have absolutes without a sovereign God.
(In other words, it was an attempt by the Greek philosophers to reconcile the contradictory philosophies of pre-Socratic philosophers Parmenides (6th-5th century B.C. and “The Father of Rationalism”), which taught:
- Reality is what you think it is (human autonomy, ontological thinking)
- Being is static and eternal—does not move or change, no such thing as rust
- Reality is perfect
- There are no particulars—the car is not separate from the parking lot
- The crippled guy is an illusion; this is what Hinduism--whose origins can be traced to a mysterious tribe of Europeans called the Aryans, who invaded and conquered Northern India between 1500 BC and 500 BC (the light skinned Brahmins of Northern India claim to be their physical and spiritual descendants)--Zen Buddhism, Christian Science Church teach; that is--there is no evil, there is no pain, there is no death, reality is an illusion, etc. and,
Heraclitus (6th-5th century B.C. and “The Father of Empiricism” and “Skepticism”), which taught:
- Knowledge is related strictly to the senses—it comes by way of the senses (touch, taste, smell, hear and feel)
- Knowledge is reduced to things experienced from the five senses
- No such thing as being
- Everything is changing (in flux)—nothing remains the same
- Change is real; permanence is an illusion1

Apostle Paul was hostile and caustic towards Greek philosophy, “See to it that no one enslaves you through philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8, ISV).]
Both Parmenides and Heraclitus’s philosophies were failures and all subsequent philosophies thereafter except Biblical Christianity (special revelation). Absolute idealism does not correspond to experience, which is the final test. Pour hot water on an idealist who says there is no pain and you will discover there is pain. Also, if every thing is one, perfect, and all is God, where did evil come from? Senses are not trustworthy either and hence you end up with no knowledge. Individuals (adhering to empiricism) are assuming that only thru your senses you can have knowledge and they realize you cannot have certain knowledge because one’s senses can be unreliable like looking at an oar in the water—to be certain there that there is no certain knowledge is self-refuting
Aquinas opened the door for secular humanism to take over politics, ethics, science, Western philosophy, art, and theology in Europe and America. This is why the secular humanists want to root out all sacred symbols from our society such as “In God we trust” on our coins. Also, American Christians developed an inward focus on personal piety—as a result of the Fundamentalist-Liberal debate in the 1920’s--to the exclusion of any concern for the culture-forming process. (This extreme separationism was in clear violation of Apostle Paul’s explicit statements in I Cor. 5:9-13.) It is sad that many so-called Christians in the 21st century would not know a Christian World and Life View if it bit them on the “ASS”.
What about U.S. Citizens who have different faiths?
It is in the best interest for any U.S. citizen no matter what their religious background is (Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Skeptic, Jew, liberal Protestant, Catholic, etc.) to vote for candidates that stand for a biblical worldview mentioned above because it will guarantee your religious freedom and rights granted to you under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Promoting secular humanism (man is the measure of all thingsand there are no absolutes—everything is relative)and voting for humanist politicians will guarantee the elimination of your freedoms and bring judgment on this nation! A quote from Charles Dickens in 1845 about the Protestant Swiss canton influence on economics and politics between nations:
On the Protestant side, neatness, cheerfulness, industry, education, continued aspiration after better things. On the Catholic side, dirt, disease, ignorance, squalor and misery. I have so constantly observed the like of this since I first came abroad, that I have a sad misgiving that the religion of Ireland lies at the root of all its sorrows.
Note: The 1960’s hippies (which were called by the Sheriff’s Officers, who worked in the Hunterdon County jail located in NJ in the 1960’s & 70’s, “simple-minded hippies”—the county jails were under the Sheriff’s Dept. at that time) who promoted so-called love (unauthorized nooki before marriage & other forms of immorality) over war did not understand the definition of love. Love rejoices in truth according to the Apostle and the word “truth” defined biblically is used in its ethical sense of “righteousness according to God’s law.” It means “Right or True living” (1 John 1:6; 3 John 3, 4).
What about the State’s authority over citizens? A summary extracted from The Encyclopedia of Practical Christianity, page 504, by Dr. Robert A. Morey about the State’s authority over citizens:
- All authority resides in God (Dan. 4:28-37; Matt. 28-18).
- All human authority is delegated authority, which means God will hold the person or institution accountable to Him for how they used their authority (Rev. 20:11-5).
- No person or institution has absolute or intrinsic authority by God (John 19:10-11).
- God’s delegated authority is only valid to leaders according to Scriptural guidelines and functions within Scriptural limits.
- The Scriptures recognize four (4) sovereign spheres of authority
- Church (1Thess. 5:12-13; Heb. 13:17, 24 etc.)
- State (Rom. 13:1-7; 1 Pet. 2:13-17 etc.)
- Family (Eph. 5:22-29; Eph. 6:1-4, etc.)
- Business (Eph. 6:5-9; 1 Pet. 2:18-19, etc.)
The spheres might interact with each other, but should never invade each other in order to take authority which God delegated to the different spheres. One example, the State should not be dictating to the church what it can preach or believe in—the State has delegated and limited authority by God in Scripture (Rom. 13::1-7).
Note: A legitimate government (per Bible) could be a Constitutional Republic, Parliamentary Republic, Monarchy, etc. However, a civil government becomes illegitimate and tyrannical (per Bible) when it takes control of all life. Examples of tyranny in a government when its leaders controls or denies the following:
- Freedom of religion;
- Free speech;
- Lawful assembly;
- The right of self-defense (not allowing ownership of firearms--gun confiscation or very restrictive control);
- Private property, etc.
This is why a foreign policy of promoting Democracy is a farce. This country (USA) is a Republic and not a Democracy. Democracies usually will not work in other countries such as the Middle East unless the society adopts a Biblical Protestant/Calvinist worldview. Otherwise the citizens of a country will elect leaders who will deny those rights that the United States enjoys because they are electing people based on their worldview—our government should be promoting or demanding the above mentioned rights are granted to citizens of every nation as basic human rights, not that they have a Democracy. Western Europe, Australia and Canada are Democratic nations, but this is what has happened in these countries:
- Persecuting people of the Christian faith (Germany arrested Christian parents for home schooling their children);
- Hate crime laws (silencing free speech such as religious teachings against homosexuality);
- Canada, Australia and Sweden have already arrested Christian pastors for speaking out against homosexuality and other religions;
- Japan is a police state;
- Confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens that want to protect themselves from criminals or an evil government (in Africa, Western and Eastern European countries millions of innocent citizens have died because of gun confiscation—see 2nd Amendment link on website) and so on.
Wow, Democracy has really brought freedom in these secular humanist nations! Of course, it is better than communism (an evil system), but Western Europe is heading towards or is already an anti-God, socialist police state because they have rejected Biblical Protestant Christianity. [Two recommended books on this subject: 1. When is it Right to Fight by Dr. Robert A. Morey 2. A Christian View of Men and Things, by Dr. Gordon H. Clark . Also, A Christian Student's Survival Guide by Dr. Robert A. Morey has a chapter on A Biblical Politcal Science.
