Much-dreaded “sharia law,” or something resembling it, may well be coming to the United States.
That is, the religiously motivated laws creeping into public policymaking aren’t based on the Koran, and they aren’t coming from mythical hard-line Islamists in, say, Dearborn, Mich. They’re coming from the White House, which wants to make it easier for hard-line Christians to impose their beliefs and practices on the rest of us.
Let’s forget for a second the issue that has brought such a stinging and impossible accusation. Let’s deal with the fact that there has and never could be such a thing as a Christian Sharia. As Bojidar Marinov pointed out to James White, this is an ontological impossibility. The two sources are irreconcilably different.
The laws themselves are completely different not just in what they propose as the standard of God for the people, but in their structure and content. In the first place, the Law of God found in the Bible is a comprehensive and intentional moral code to be followed and is presented as the moral attributes of God Himself. It is codified and easy to discern, whereas Sharia scattered and compiled by inference and speculation from events and sayings about an unknowable god.
But most importantly, what we have to point out to Catherine is the fact that this Law she hates is the Law placed over every person by their Creator. She hates this Law because she is in rebellion against her Creator. The evidence that she gives that Trump wants to impose this Law is no more than the political banter of an anti-Constitutionist.
She wishes to silence the Church and prevent the oppressed Christians of the Middle East from entering the country. Her tactics are that of fear, and her motivations are those of hate.

#Healthwire: Castor oil.

 Another possible solution to your wart problem is to rub castor oil on the wart. The oil can help moisturize the skin until the wart breaks apart and disappears.

#Healthwire: Tea tree oil.

When it comes to skin problems, don’t forget to use tea tree oil. This essential oil is quite effective in curing skin disorders because of its antiviral as well as antiseptic properties. Applying diluted tea tree oil on the skin can solve oily skin problems and it can also help kill off the warts growing on your skin. Using undiluted tea tree oil is not recommended as it is quite strong but mixing it with carrier oil like almond or olive oil can be rewarding especially when it comes to removing warts.

#Religion: Congratulations, American “missionaries.” This is the fruit of your heresy in Chiapas.

The unifying theme between both of these stories is the propagation of heresy. Heresy throughout Christian history is traditionally punished severely because it propagates false ideas about the nature of God and His revelation. I speak not of mere disciplinary disagreements, or cases when charges of heresy were falsely used to silence public criticism since both are sins and there are many examples of people abusing this for their own ends. What I speak of are clear cases of heresy, such as Arianism. Arianism is the heresy that Jesus is a superman but not God. Spread originally by the Libyan priest Arius, his heresy infected 75% of all Christians and 80% of bishops. Coming at the dawn of the 4th century, Arius’ teaching endured for centuries after his death and provided the basis for Islamic theology’s denial of Jesus’ divinity. Arius the heretic being devoured in hell while Melchizedek the righteous looks on. But if he were alive today, Melchizedek would be called an “intoleran...
