Several of my old Blogger posts, some as far back as 2009, have been flagged for review citing malware/virus, and removed. However, I don’t see any indication for that. I find it odd that I have only just been receiving emails from Blogger a few days after I logged in for the first time in ages. These emails state: 'Your content has violated our Malware and Viruses policy. Please visit our Community Guidelines page linked in this email to learn more.' But when I log into Blogger it says nothing about viruses and malware, but instead states that it is the content that is at issue. I am finding this quite odd and I suspect there is more to this.

The Walking Dead?



I made a video based on the Chick tract "Walking Dead?" and I also made a Spanish-language version here. They can be read for free online here and here.

Oceans


New video I made about ocean and other water references in the Bible. 

The Secret of Akkadian Island by Jesus is Lord games



A Christian gaming group is creating a game about fighting a shadow government, but they need help to receive the funds to do it. They have a website and a Kickstarter page. Christian gamers need all the support they can get. It's hard to find decent games out there that want to shine the Light into the world. I'm thankful for people and gamers like these.

*By the way, I have no affiliation with this game company (Jesus is Lord games) even though my blog has a similar name - Jesus is Lord Forever (since 2007). I just happened to come across their game and wanted to support them.

Voice of the Martyrs, Prisoner Alert: Gao Zhisheng



Gao Released - Aug. 7, 2014

In 2007, he was arrested and spent over 50 days behind bars where he was tortured. “I was beaten so badly that my whole body began shaking uncontrollably on the floor,” Gao wrote in an open letter.

Gao last reappeared out of police custody in April 2010. He told the Associated Press that he had been shunted between detention centers, farmhouses and apartments across northern China. Security forces repeatedly abused him, beating him with electric batons, pistol-whipping him and holding burning cigarettes close to his eyes.

“Not only is it now extremely difficult for me to make my voice heard, but it is also extremely dangerous,” Gao wrote in an essay in 2009. “In the past three-plus years, the authorities invested a great deal of manpower, physical resources and funds, and employed the most merciless methods, to achieve their goal of silencing me.”

Christian human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng was released from prison on Aug. 7, 2014. His lawyer told BBC News that Gao has been “utterly destroyed” after three years in jail. He is emotionless, “basically unintelligible” and has lost teeth through malnutrition. Gao’s lawyer reported that Gao is “not capable of holding any conversation and there are many occasions where he’s just literally just muttering to himself.” He was first arrested in 2009, and released briefly in 2010 before disappearing shortly afterward. In 2011, state media said he had been jailed again for violating probation rules

Background:
Since 2005, Gao has been repeatedly arrested, imprisoned and severely tortured by Chinese authorities, mostly for his human rights work. In 2006, he and a group of prominent human rights lawyers created the Association of Human Rights Attorneys for Chinese Christians. That same year, Gao was sentenced to five years of probation for inciting “subversion of the state.” After serving three years in prison, Gao was supposedly released on probation but he disappeared for extended periods of time.
