So there are documented facts yet different interpretations of those facts exist.

The thing is serious some dispute of the validity of the documentation.

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium; color: #000080; font-family: oldnewspapertypes&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There is man running for President in 2008 who also is Vietnam Vet and there is little mystery of his heroism during the war or after.

However there is little mystery in facts and the conclusions that follow as with John Kerry. After the Vietnam War, McCain did NOT jump on the “I HATE AMERICA” Left Wing gravy train to infamy as Kerry did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

For example homosexuality is not a criminal offense however Obama is married. Would Obama’s wife pull a Hillary and look the other way if truth is discovered in the Sinclair allegations?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I mean Obama was a member of the Illinois State Congress in 1999 allegedly breaking the law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium; color: #000080; font-family: oldnewspapertypes&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

After all Bill Clinton perjured himself about being a sexual predator and was impeached by the House and exonerated by a Party line vote in the Senate and still remained popular with his Left Wing constituency who could care less about immoral acts in the White House.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Here is another thought: knowing the penchant for Social Conservative to be outraged at immoral behavior of the Left; is the Obama story a Hillary strategic planted story in collusion with Larry Sinclair to take Democratic Party votes away from Obama to win the Democratic Party nomination for herself?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium; color: #000080; font-family: oldnewspapertypes&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

For example homosexuality is not a criminal offense however Obama is married. Would Obama’s wife pull a Hillary and look the other way if truth is discovered in the Sinclair allegations?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

After all Bill Clinton perjured himself about being a sexual predator and was impeached by the House and exonerated by a Party line vote in the Senate and still remained popular with his Left Wing constituency who could care less about immoral acts in the White House.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Here is another thought: knowing the penchant for Social Conservative to be outraged at immoral behavior of the Left; is the Obama story a Hillary strategic planted story in collusion with Larry Sinclair to take Democratic Party votes away from Obama to win the Democratic Party nomination for herself?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I believe devout Mormons have the same ethics as devout Christians; however the differences of Mormon theology is way outside theology of Christians that are Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Trinity is total unity and uncreated and act as one much as a human being is a spirit, that has a soul (the mental faculties) and lives in a body. Humanity is three in one yet created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

For Christians that is an insinuation of brothers, for Mormons I guess it is an action of creating beings or spirits that will be housed by a body (remember not an expert).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: grandesign neue roman&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: grandesign neue roman&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: grandesign neue roman&quot;&gt;From the pro-Mormon explanation I read of this, the Father placed the created Jesus as part of the Godhead. I don’t know how that works but it implies that the Uncreated Father and the created Jesus along with the Holy Spirit (I haven’t enough to know if the Holy Spirit is created or Uncreated) are part of the “Godhead.” Thus the “Godhead” is made up of created and Uncreated substance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: grandesign neue roman&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Jesus being fully God and Uncreated with the Father and Holy Spirit yet incarnated into the likeness of a human through the fully human Mary. Thus Jesus is fully Uncreated God and fully created (via incarnation) human. It is Jesus’ sinless humanity (because of the incarnation) that pays the price to redeem corrupted humanity (Deliverance and Salvation) by an unjustified condemnation to death. Thus the Resurrection power of God raised the God incarnate from death back to life restoring not only the Glorified substance of Godhood but Glorifying the human substance with a Glorified human body. Thus as Christ is so shall all be that trust in Him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: grandesign neue roman&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

That system makes the creation superior to the Creator. As a Christian, I view that as bad news. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: grandesign neue roman&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Even a socially liberal Giuliani would be better than a Democratic Party Leftist. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: grandesign neue roman&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Good faith makes for the best opportunity to reverse the violence and moral degradation the Democrats have supported and transformed this nation in which the rule of law accepts homosexuality and pornography as freedom of expression. That is simply Constitutional manipulation allowing the portion of the Judiciary that is Leftist to exterminate Christianity. And frankly, that is specifically against the First Amendment. Keeping religion out of government is prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The government is only to insure that no religion be adopted as a State religion and even that inference is toward Christian Denominations. Non-Christian religions were not in the thought processes of the Founding Fathers – even the Deists.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;I wonder why Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is asking for financial records from a targeted group of Ministries beyond the scope of what is requested by the IRS. In Washington DC Grassley, a member of the Senate Finance Committee is investigating what has become known as the Grassley Six:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;Do notice I said Christians, apparently it is politically correct for Mohammedan’s to spout politics and retain their 501(c)3 non-profit donation status.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;Anyway Senator Grassley definitely is a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=53293&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;Slanted Right Conservative&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;; therefore I have to believe he has acquired some information on the Grassley Six. The information must not be the smoking gun that has convinced Grassley to investigate financial abuse of these Ministries. I did see an MSM piece on Benny Hinn photo-documenting a lavish lifestyle which the MSM piece was financed by Hinn’s 501(c)3 Ministry. I do recall the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.religionnewsblog.com/10525/hinn-claims-dateline-story-distorted-facts-to-attack-his-ministry&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;network that did the piece&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt; rudely harassed Hinn in public because Hinn would never agree to an interview. The program would show public questioning Hinn and trap him into answers that there was no way Hinn was prepared to answer. Hinn would give off the top his mind answers and if it did not jive with documented information the program already had, a clip would follow with facts and figures staining Hinn’s reputation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;I do understand the motivation behind the Slanted Left MSM. These six Ministers that have gained the appellation of the Grassley Six are all Ministers that do way more than preach prosperity. These are Faith people who believe in Divine Healing and Divine Intervention via the Biblical Gifts of the Spirit. This is a practice that many Christians antagonistic to this literal form of Faith have labeled heresy. What better way to put a dent into faith then to show these Ministers as liars or living the high life on non-profit tax deductable donations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;I must give Grassley credit though. If the Grassley six are living lavishly on Ministry funds rather than the salary from the Ministry coupled with investments, then there is a taint on the image of Christ. That would invalidate that whole teaching of faith, healing, miracles and prosperity to many who have followed this movement for years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: butter&quot;&gt;Can you tell I am one of those followers? The Bible is the Bible and it is true rather or not a few Ministers treated their charitable donations as their personal funds. I still believe in the power of God for all the Faith movement teachings because it is taken directly from the Bible; however I do believe some have become too engulfed in materialism and comfort rather than setting an example of Kingdom of God living that Jesus preached.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;I pray Grassley’s investigation exonerates the Grassley Six of any wrong doing. Would that not slap the accusers on the Left? If or there is any wrong doing revealed I pray it is in ethics not in the rule of law. That way many good men and women of God can reassess what is personal money or what is Ministry money and still be a benefit for the Kingdom of God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large; color: #000080; font-family: butter&quot;&gt;Now one thing that is a pet peeve of mine is this ludicrous infringement the government has made for Christian Ministries to be a Godly influence in elections. If a Ministry is discerned to be making public endorsements of candidates the IRS will swoop down and remove their 501(c)3 status. Thus it is a hinky way allowing free speech yet punishing the life blood of a Ministries existence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I did not have the chance to watch the TV programming; however I intend to catch it on the Internet. Copeland’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bvov.tv/kcm/webcasts.php&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;Believer’s Voice of Victory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt; broadcasts can be seen at the Kenneth Copeland Website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;. The cool thing I liked about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.christianpost.com/article/20071123/30195_Huckabee_Undeterred_by_Senate_Probe_of_Copeland.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;Baptist Minister and Presidential Candidate Huckabee is that he is taking a public stand with the Copelands&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt; as Grassley’s investigation proceeds. This is interesting for Baptists and Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian do not see eye to eye on many theological issues. That means Huckabee is willing to take a political hit while his poll numbers are actually rising. I have heard some bad things about Huckabee ethics wise when he was Governor of Arkansas; however it takes a man to stand tall when a friend is under a Senate investigation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It is wrong to impose Freedom of Speech restriction on Christian Ministries under the delusion that the Constitution’s First Amendment proclaims there is a separation of Church and State.
