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

think on it a while, and try to cut us some slack, keeping in mind that we also enjoy satire and plot twists!
| Latest Articles | April 2008Contracepting the Environment by Wayne LaugesenBirth-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. Read More |
| | January 2008What else did you expect? by Lee SmithRecently in the news there has been reported a Baseball Bombshell, that many current and former players in MLB have been accused of using steroids.

| | December 2007 The Menace of Chinese Food by James B. JordanOne 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! Read More |

| | November 2007 Feast in a Box 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. Read More |
| | November 2007 Not Like a Tame Lion by Andrew McIntyreBut 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. Aslan is, obviously, a literary symbol
or an analogy of Christ. Although the symbol of the lion is actually
endorsed by Holy Scripture to describe the Anointed One of Judah, as

to display and symbolize certain Christlike characteristics.

| | November 2007 Thanksgiving: A Religious Holiday All the Way by Gary DeMarOn
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 Read More |
