Note from the folks at PTG: Although not all articles are officially "endorsed" by PossessTheGates.com, we do make sure that they are within the bounds of Trinitarian belief systems, and we tend to favor pieces that facilitate discussion (re: slightly eye-brow raising). So before you jump to conclusions, please read the entire piece, think on it a while, and try to cut us some slack, keeping in mind that we also enjoy satire and plot twists!

Contracepting the Environment
by Wayne Laugesen

Birth-control poisoning of streams leave U.S. environmentalists mum

When EPA-funded scientists at the University of Colorado studied fish in a pristine mountain stream known as Boulder Creek two years ago, they were shocked. Randomly netting 123 trout and other fish downstream from the city's sewer plant, they found that 101 were female, 12 were male and 10 were strange "intersex" fish with male and female features.

Author photoThe Menace of Chinese Food
by James B. Jordan

One of the unrecognized and most deadly evil of modern life's facets is Chinese food.
Most people are wholly unaware of the critical nature of the Chinese food question, and blithely
continue to participate in this wicked and dangerous activity: eating Chinese food. Of course, to
speak against such a hallowed institution as Chinese food is to be regarded as a fanatic, or even
as sacrilegious, but we must be true to the faith!

by Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr.

Thanksgiving isn't what it used to be

It may be that when historians look back at the collapse of this nation, the signposts they'll find are the very markers of progress we tend to cheer on. Or they may find markers that we didn't even notice. Sign 666 that the apocalypse may be upon us is available at a supermarket near you. Even in tiny little Abingdon, Virginia one can purchase, hot out of the oven, the Thanksgiving meal. In fact, you have any number of options, ham or turkey, pecan or apple. It's a feast in a box, which is no feast at all.

Author photoNot Like a Tame Lion
by Andrew McIntyre

But amidst all these rejoicings Aslan himself quietly slipped away. And when the Kings and Queens noticed that he wasn't there they said nothing about it.

Although the symbol of the lion is actually endorsed by Holy Scripture to describe the Anointed One of Judah, as in all analogies, the likeness and similarity breaks down somewhere.

Author photoThanksgiving: A Religious Holiday All the Way
by Gary DeMar

On Thursday, September 24, 1789, the First House of Representatives voted to recommend-in its exact wording-the First Amendment of the newly drafted Constitution to the states for ratification. The next day, Congressman Elias Boudinot from New Jersey proposed that the House and Senate jointly request of President Washington to proclaim a day of thanksgiving for "the many signal favors of Almighty God." Boudinot said that he "could not think of letting the session pass over without offering an opportunity to all the citizens of the United States of joining, with one voice, in returning to Almighty God their sincere thanks for the many blessings he had poured down upon them."1
