Is One Race Superior To Others


I do not believe God created any one race smarter or stronger than another. I am of the belief God created us all as equals. We are what we become through faith and our efforts. I have been privileged to witness amazing and inspiring feats in the areas of science, medicine, education, the arts and sports, from people of many races and nationalities. I have met brilliant people from many nations, who are of different races.

The one common denominator I've found in people who have accomplished truly amazing things is not their race or nationality, but the hard work they put into what they do and not giving up when setbacks or failures occur. That is the true mark of greatness - faith and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Rimsha Masih

14-year-old Pakistani girl, Rimsha Masih, has been granted asylum in Canada, after her neighbor lied to officials stating she had burned the pages of the Islamic book the Qu'ran, making her eligible for execution. After death threats and arrest, Masih was found to be innocent. The Canadian government has graciously granted Masih and her family asylum in Canada, where they have begun a new life. Compendius wishes the Masih family the very best. May God be with you always.


Malala Yousufzai has been granted asylum in Britain, after the Taliban tried to murder the young Muslim woman for seeking an education

Rimsha is now going to school in Canada, something forbidden by terrorists groups in Pakistan, who also tried to murder 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai for seeking an education. Everyone in society should be free to pursue an education. Women are not property, but people entitled to human rights.

The Dangers Of Trapping A Man With Pregnancy In Trying To Make Him Stay


Some women cling to men they simply do not belong with. They are incompatible and have major differences. However, whether it be believing they love the person, it becoming an unhealthy obsession or trying to latch on to a man who is wealthy and or famous, some women get desperate when a man won't commit to them.

This desperation can lead to them doing unethical things, such as lying about birth control or  sabotaging condoms, in order to trick a man into an unplanned pregnancy. No man wants or appreciates such behavior from a woman, as it creates trust issues and feelings of betrayal in being duped and set up. You also run the risk of the pregnancy not turning out as planned, creating even more heartbreak for you and the man.

If a man wants to leave you, tricking him into pregnancy is not going to make him stay. It's a bad idea. He will be more inclined to leave, resentfully feeling he cannot trust you. If your boyfriend finds someone he deems more suitable and believes is the one for him, he will want to leave whether or not you are pregnant. Men do that all the time.

What happens when you trick him into pregnancy, wrongly believing it will trap him and make him stay, he leaves, marries another and gets her pregnant. He will not give your child the time and attention deserved, as his new family will be the priority. This has happened time and time again. Why put yourself in that situation.
If a couple is not married, there is no use in them staying together when they discover they are incompatible and not right for each other. People also should not cheat under those circumstances, as it is dishonest. It is better to break up than do that.

One needs to be honest with one's self and not get tied down in a relationship for the sake of having one, when you full well know the one you are with is not the one for you. In your heart you know when you find that great love, your soul mate. Settling for anything less is not going to make you happy. You have your life to live. While you sit in a relationship of convenience with someone you know is not the one for you, the one who is the right one for you, will end up passing you by, going off with someone else.

There are many women who have realized the one they have been dating is not the right one for them and let go, backed off, ending the relationship. But some women get carried away, determined they will cling to a man they know does not love them, refusing to let go, even if it destroys his life and their own. If you truly care about someone (that's single) you would want them to find true love, even if it is not with you - hence letting them go. Why would you want a man who does not love you, when you could find one who will.

You need to pay attention to your instincts. That doubt and lack of peace in one's soul about someone is an indicator that something is wrong. People often overlook what they are seeing and feeling while dating, regarding things that are underlying, valid concerns.

It is better to be single and wait for the right one, than linger with the wrong one out of convenience, even living in sin (living together and not married) while the right one passes you by, as it will cause you long term unhappiness for short term sexual gratification with someone you're simply not supposed to be with. You will jeopardize your future in doing so.

Living with someone you're not married to is not the best idea. So much can go wrong (and often does). Not to be judgmental, but there are so many ways both partners can end up hurt and damaged from living together while not married. Then you start making serious decisions that only married people should undertake. One of my friends bought a house with her boyfriend and the relationship deteriorated not long after they moved in. They ended up in court over the house in a very acrimonious legal battle costing them both a lot of money and bad feelings. They walked away from the experience very hurt.

In another incident I know, a man moved in his money hungry girlfriend, who was costing him over $500 per month in gifts and items she kept asking for. She even began costing him business opportunities with her clingy, temperamental conduct, trying to push people out of his life and control him at every turn, fearing he would leave. It's like she knew in her heart he didn't love her and it was all about sex. When he finally met someone he fell madly in love with, the woman rejected him because he had a live-in girlfriend (seriously, who in their right mind wants to date a man with a live in girlfriend). He quickly tried to put his girlfriend out, but during the time he worked on getting her out of the property, someone else began dating the woman he fell in love with and proposed to her, leaving him heartbroken. 

Once you find the right person for you, you will know, just make sure you haven't put yourself in a situation that will put you at a disadvantage in getting them. The best way to gain guidance on who is the right person for you is through prayer. Ask God to bring the right person into your life. Ask God to proverbially open the right doors and close the wrong ones in your life as well, lest you make a mistake in choosing the wrong one and end up unhappy and full of regrets. Your future is depending on it.

Judge Sides With Cheerleaders In Bible Banner Lawsuit


Student painting Christian banners for football games

A Texas judge has ruled cheerleaders are allowed to display banners with Bible verses at football games. Initially the school district barred the practice and was sued as a result of their decision. However, a ruling by State District Judge Steven Thomas has struck down the district's rule, granting students the ability to display the banners, as it is their constitutional right.

Judge rules for cheerleaders in Bible banner suit

8, 2013 | Updated: May 8, 2013 8:48pm - HOUSTON (AP) — A judge ruled Wednesday that cheerleaders at a Southeast Texas high school can display banners emblazoned with Bible verses at football games. But the ruling might not have settled the issue of whether the banners are protected free speech, according to an attorney for the cheerleaders' school district.

State District Judge Steven Thomas determined the Kountze High School cheerleaders' banners are constitutionally permissible. In the ruling, Thomas determined that no law "prohibits cheerleaders from using religious-themed banners at school sporting events."...

Liberal Group Seeks To Stifle Religious Freedom At The Pentagon Targeting Christian Soldiers


Pentagon

The liberal organization the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is attempting to suppress free speech at the U.S. Pentagon. The Constitution guarantees free speech, but the organization is targeting Christian soldiers for court martialiing if they speak of their faith in God. This is an abuse of soldiers' civil rights that is unconstitutional.

Could Christian Chaplains Be Silenced Under Pentagon Rules? Military Policy Bans Religious Proselytizing

April 30th, 2013 at 03:13 PM | - Religious liberty groups have grave concerns after they learned the Pentagon is vetting its guide on religious tolerance with a group that compared Christian evangelism to "rape" and advocated that military personnel who proselytize should be court martialed.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is calling on the Air Force to enforce a regulation that they believe calls for the court martial of any service member caught proselytizing.

President Mikey Weinstein and others from his organization met privately with Pentagon officials on April 23. He said U.S. troops who proselytize are guilty of sedition and treason and should be punished – by the hundreds if necessary – to stave off what he called a "tidal wave of fundamentalists."...

Christians Are Being Persecuted And Killed In Nigeria


Nigeria

For the past couple years, Compendius has written about the persecution and killing of Christians in select parts of the world. As Christians we must all embrace each others' struggle and pray and proactively work to improve things for our brothers and sisters in the faith worldwide.

The terrorist group Boko Haram has been slaughtering Christians in Nigeria in big numbers, in conduct that must desist. Nigeria is half Christian and half Muslim. According to the Baptist Press, "The publicly reported Christian casualties in Nigeria last year were greater than the Christian casualties of Pakistan, Syria, Kenya and Egypt combined. In fact, Nigeria alone accounted for almost 70 percent of Christians killed globally. This makes Nigeria the most lethal country for Christians by a huge margin."

Duck Dynasty Cast Striking For Pay Increase


Jase, Si, Willie And Phil Robertson

Season four of the hit reality show "Duck Dynasty" is currently up in the air, as the cast is striking for a pay increase. The third season debut was viewed by over 8,500,000 people. The stars of the show, the Robertsons, want $200,000 per episode or they walk.

Considering there are over ten main family members featured on each episode, the money has to split between more leads than usual. As stated above, the show has brought in big ratings for A&E, resulting in great ad revenues. Therefore, they should pay the Robertsons more for giving the network their biggest hit ever. A&E please give the beards the bonus bucks. It's the best reality show on TV.

Christians Need To Create Blogs To Encourage People Who Are Hurting And Suffering


Blogs have become an important communications outlet, allowing everyday people to reach the world via the written word. Many successfully blogs started from nothing and grew into worldwide sites, due to the impact of what was written.

With so many people in the world hurting from the troubles of life, a good word in season, via blogs sharing hope and faith, will encourage those who are struggling, while edifying others.

Ray Lewis Retires In Style As He And The Baltimore Ravens Take The Super Bowl


Ray Lewis

Christian football player Ray Lewis retired from the game of football in Louisiana on a high note, as a two time Super Bowl winning champion. Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens battled through a tough game against the outstanding San Francisco 49ers and came out on top. Congrats.

Many noticed Lewis' undershirt had "Psalms 91" on it, which began trending on Twitter and was featured on other websites. For some, Psalm 91 is a prayer of blessings, for others it's a prayer of protection. If I were standing on a field and the 49ers were charging towards me, I know I'd need all the "protecting" I could get (LOL).

I usually pray Psalm 91 for protection, especially the line "He (God) will give His angels charge over you" because in life, you never know what could happen. I admire men like Lewis, Tim Tebow and others, who are humble enough to give God thanks for their lives and stand up for the faith. God bless you guys.

Morgan Slams The Second Amendment And States The Bible Is Flawed Falling Afoul Of The Public Demanding His Deportation


Piers Morgan

Rupert Murdoch crony and former employee, Piers Morgan, who is also star of his own CNN talk show, has run afoul of the public, slamming the Bible as "flawed" and demanding the deletion of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, regarding Americans' right to bear arms (guns).

Morgan's statements created quite a backlash in America, with 100,000 people signing a White House petition demanding his deportation from America. However, his native Britain, humorously stated no thanks, indicating in no uncertain terms, they don't want him back.

In all seriousness, this isn't about Britain, where Piers is from or America where he currently resides. This is about Morgan and his total lack of respect for other people's religion and way of life. I am not a gun person, but I understand that the Second Amendment guarantees Americans the right to bear arms. As such, it is up to the majority to decide what the nation wants, not one man or woman.

Additionally, I am a Christian and took umbrage at Morgan's statements about the Bible being "flawed" whilst demanding gay marriage. Billions of Christians and Muslims do not have gay marriage as apart of their religion, as it defies it. Gay marriage is a personal choice and to attempt to force it upon the world, irrespective of people's religious beliefs is wrong. It is unfair to ask people to defy their religious beliefs in support of an alternative lifestyle the Bible and the Koran expressly forbid.

There are gay people I have prayed to God for asking Him to help them with problems and struggles they have faced, with the hope they will turn to Him in faith one day. I will not disrespect or be mean to a person for being gay. I am courteous to straight or gay people I meet. I have never attacked or abused anyone over their religion, sexual orientation, race or nationality. However, I need you to extend me and those of the faith the same courtesy, as Hollywood's agenda in trying to change Christianity and the Bible via ridicule and bullying, to fit its lifestyle, is too much to ask, trampling on God's word and has gone too far.

The Bible says homosexuality is a sin that brings trouble and chastisement into one's life. However, it is your choice. God can forgive, but there must be repentance (a change in behavior). God gave me free will, just like He gave you free will. Do not try to take that away from me (and others).

Furthermore, Morgan is in no position to throw stones at anyone or offer his "flawed" view on people's religion. As I have maintained on the Judiciary Report website for years, in a scandal I broke first online, Morgan has a problem with ethics and morality, as he is neck deep in the phone hacking scandal, having violated domestic and international law, whilst working for Murdoch and others. He has knowingly committed a number of serious felonies in the name of profit and journalistic scoops that were obtained in the most invasive, foul order. You cannot even follow the law. Don't tell me how to follow my religion. I have British blood in me, I love Britain, God bless it, but I do not agree with Piers.

The True Meaning Of Christmas


Some are happy this Christmas with the gifts they have received, while others are sad, as they did not get what they want. But remember those who received nothing at all. Furthermore, gifts are not what is important at Christmas. They are more the icing on the cake.

Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ and cherish those you love. Remember those who lost someone they love and are going through heartbreak and despair. Say a prayer for them. We all go through many changes in life. Some of them good others sad. Your ability to persevere and keep moving forward will make all the difference in the world.

Christmas Songs And Videos

Here are a few of my favorite Christmas songs. Enjoy your Christmas guys and God bless you:
 
"Christmas Star" – Home Alone (Soundtrack):

ObamaCare And Religion


Barack Obama

The court system has been hearing challenges to U.S. President Barack Obama's health care plan dubbed ObamaCare. It has been deceptive in the fact religious people's tax dollars are going to items which are against the faith, though the public is being told otherwise.

Despite the fact there is an opt out clause for certain items and alleged guarantees funds will not go for procedures that offend people's religious sensibilities, it was found this is happening anyway. It's as if  people have no say anymore, which should never happen in a free society. ObamaCare needs considerable revision. only is it a financial boondoggle, some of it is religiously offensive.

Voters Need To Stand Up For The Faith In The November 2012 U.S. Presidential Election


On election day it will be Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney 

The upcoming U.S. presidential election scheduled for November 6, 2012, will be an important make or break one for America, due to the terrible state of the economy and the global suffering that has ensued.
There are other items at stake as well, such as matters of the faith.

Incumbent Barack Obama, began as a moderate when he assumed office, but quickly began showing open hostility regarding Christianity and Judaism. Judeo-Christian values have been dealt a political blow under his administration and this must stop.

A president should show kindness, respect and courtesy to people of all faiths and backgrounds, not strive to diminish or usurp the rights of others, in favor of his own personal views. President Obama has displayed a open contempt for Christianity and Judaism (and Israel) that is not befitting any U.S. president.

Reports Indicate Barack Obama Promoting Gay Marriage Has Alienated Christian Voters In The 2012 Presidential Election


President Obama stated his children spurred and encouraged his decision to come out in support of gay marriage         

U.S. President Barack Obama controversially came out in support of gay marriage this week, which offended many Christian and Muslim voters, who deem it against their religions. As a Christian I can understand where they are coming from on this issue. While I do not seek to harm gays or anyone else, one cannot ask others to go against their religion in support of an alternative lifestyle. 

Reverend Franklin Graham, the son of legendary preacher, Billy Graham, has branded President Obama's statements, "Shaking his fist at God." This week, Billy Graham also lent his support to the defense of marriage in North Carolina, due to attempts at bringing gay marriage to the state he resides. 

 
First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama, who is headed for defeat in the upcoming election

The rival Republican party in America has shunned the issue in favor of the repairing the economy. Other heads of state, such as Julia Gillard of Australia and the palace in the Philippines, also disagree with Obama's stance on the issue.  

President Obama's actions this week have many online stating, he is a Christian only in name, while others still believe he is a Muslim, the religion he ascribed to for most of his life, after spending many years in Kenya and Malaysia. The president like anyone else is entitled to his opinion, but he must realize not everyone feels the same and the votes will reflect that come November. Hollywood donating millions to his campaign this week to sway his statements, cannot buy the vote of the populace in America, most of which is Christian. In short, he has handed the election to Mitt Romney.

Tim Tebow

Forbes magazine has rated Christian football player, Tim Tebow, the second most influential athlete in the nation. Tebow took the nation by storm over the past year, with his clean cut image and prayerful lifestyle.
