When Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump recently spoke at Liberty University (founded by the late Jerry Falwell, one of the godfathers of the Christian Zionist movement), he didn't even mention Israel in his hour long address. What's going on? In this provocative, 26 minute program Chuck Carlson, Tom Compton, Craig Hanson and Glen Lesnick of We Hold These Truths are joined by Richard Edmondson of Fig Trees & Vineyards to look beyond the politics of the upcoming presidential campaigns that include ardent Israel apologists like Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. A must listen!

In this compelling, 16 minute program, Chuck Carlson is joined by Tom Compton, Craig Hanson and Leslie Fort of We Hold These Truths to analyze a recent UN News Center report, "'Staggering' civilian death toll in Iraq - UN Report." The report talks about the roll of ISIS in these deaths but includes no mention of the USUSG's (United States Un-elected Supra Government) culpability. We look behind the scene and try to answer questions like, "Why aren't evangelical Christians praying for peace?" and "Didn't Jesus teach peace?" [The chart shown is from iraqbodycount.org]

Please take 2 minutes to watch this powerful eyeopener that appeared on Aljazeera's program, "Reality Check" and pass it on! Reporter Mehdi Hasan challenges Israel's narrative that they no longer occupy the Gaza strip. Mehdi argues that Israel still controls Gaza's borders, airspace and territorial waters. He also points to the fact Israel controls the population register, meaning the government defines who is and who is not a resident of Gaza. Israel says it no longer occupies Gaza after disengaging from the strip of land in 2005. But Palestinians, international organizations, human rights groups and governments, including the United States, argue Gaza is still occupied. Be sure you spread this video far and wide.

In this 34 minute lesson by Mark Horton we learn that the entire gospel is presented in chapter 9 of Hebrews. Also, we learn that the eternal purpose of God was was to create the universe so that man could dwell there and that God could dwell in men's hearts as taught by Jesus.

In this informative, 20 minute program Chuck Carlson, Tom Compton and Glen Lesnick of We Hold These Truths discuss Dr. Ron Paul's recent, must view address that we entitled "Islam is Not the Problem, The US Empire Is" in the context of the wars on Islamic countries conducted by the US since the first Gulf War against Iraq in 1991. The derivation and meaning of the terms "neocon" and "blowback" are delved into in this program. A related program that may, also, be of interest is "Public Misled Again About the Manufactured Sunni Vs. Shia Muslim Split."

In this thought provoking, 22 minute program, Chuck Carlson and Tom Compton of We Hold These Truths present a more logical explanation than Fox News' and Donald Trump's endless tirades about a rift between Sunni and Shia Muslims. It is just not so, as we have experienced in long association with friends from both branches of Islam who coexist peacefully. This program includes a discussion about the Wahhabi sect, and how it is used, not as a practicing religion, but largely as population control mechanism by the secular, sometimes hard drinking, dope dealing, mega-billionaire royalty of Saudi Arabia. There it reigns terror on non-royal, Saudi citizens, and, even guests.  For openers, both Wahhabi and ISIS sects behead for punishment, but no other Islamic sect does!  The two articles referenced in the podcast are:: "The Wall Street Skew of the Saudi/Iranian Rift" and "The US Warmakers' Divide and Conquer Strategies in the Middle East."

In this 28 minute study, Mark Horton discusses the eternal nature of the New Covenant in Jesus. In the Old Covenant, the age of Moses had a beginning and an end. Christ is the only eternal, perfect sacrifice.
