The Good News Talk Show is back with another Great interview. This time our host Timashion had a chance to chop it up with Christian Rapper Bizzle. In this interview Bizzle talks about his view on the use of the word “Nigga”, his growth as a Christian and why he chose to expose Jay-Z and others who are Anti-Christ in their lyrics and lifestyles. Bizzle has been the topic of a lot of “barbershop” conversations in the Christian and Non-Christian communities. These discussions are mainly about his unconventional approach to apologetics.

    … no more biblebelieving christians. north africa was becoming a catholic state until the muslims took over, then the roman catholics realised that what they have created was a monster that could kill all jews, biblebelieving christians and catholics.

    roman catholicism is not christian and will never be christian. roman catholicism killed more true christians than islam has ever done.

  2. bbhola12 says:

    before coptics and islam there were biblebelieving christians that was spreading the gospel throught north africa. the roman catholic church wanted all of north africa to be a roman catholic church and wanted to take jeruselem, so with the help of the augustinian monks they created this false religion islam to do away the biblebelieving christians and jews. now there were lots of roman catholic converts in north africa…….

    Sadly here is another? instance in which two sides kill each other for metaphysical speculations neither one has any shred of evidence to support their assumptions.

    Egypt needs secularism(democracy), not primitive mentality from the bronze age.

  7. SatchmoSings says:

    @mmoneib Yes, this poll (which is fairly recent) shows that most Egyptians are optimistic about the upcoming elections and the government that will result.

    However in a Pew poll taken earlier, “Egyptians want more Islam in politics”; I was using THIS poll as part of my source and I believe it to be, obviously, the more accurate one even though it is obviously somewhat older.

    Either way, I wish Egypt all the best this way, it’s just that I’m not as optimistic as you are; anyway, all the best!!!

  8. mmoneib says:

    @SatchmoSings Just google egypt gallup poll. And check the first page in the results.

  9. SatchmoSings says:

    @mmoneib Thank you for taking the time to look at Mr. Batchelor’s website; he’s on the air as I type this (unless he’s taking a personal night off; his show is still on.)

    YOU may consider Batchelor to be Conservative however most other people that you would also consider conservative want NOTHING to do with him; Batchelor is to “the right” of you but he’s no right-winger, not at all.

    Oh, and by the way, he’s Assyrian Christian on his mother’s side, if that helps you.

  10. mmoneib says:

    @SatchmoSings So you direct me to a conservative radio show and call it a reliable source? How about gallup?! Search for egypt gallup poll.
    Sure democracy is not yet established, but that’s what we are trying to do. What I wanted to say is that the mentality of the far right is the same all over the world regardless of religion or ideology. Details differ, but principles are almost identical.

  11. SatchmoSings says:

    @mili7i At least under Saddam Hussein the Christians in Iraq were protected.

    So, the United States comes along, makes war in Iraq, kills Hussein and “gives” the Iraqi people Republicanism which they don’t really want.

    And yes, May God keep them safe !

  12. SatchmoSings says:

    @esiosan You are absolutely correct but the average person in Egypt frankly isn’t the least bit interested; @mmoneib is a good example of this.

    And besides, the secularism that Egypt has had has been the model of “The One Party” state so that’s really not much of an improvement; that’s Nazi Germany or the USSR which Egypt used to be allied with.

  13. SatchmoSings says:

    @mmoneib My sources are not flawed; I stand by them. (Google “The John Batchelor Show” and try some of the files there.) Reliable polls HAVE been taken; sheesh.

    The Muslim Brotherhood are a much different mentality than a US Republican; your country has no tradition of safegaurding individual rights nor in protecting the rights of minorities and remember, the smallest minority is ONE individual.

  14. mmoneib says:

    @SatchmoSings Take it easy you grandpa. You’re just commenting over the Internet you idiot; you shouldn’t have such thin skin. Your sources are flawed as there are no reliable polls that have taken place here yet except those about the presidential elections showing a liberal leading. Yes the Muslims Brotherhood are a strong force, but they are no different in mentality from the right-winged Republican party that many are supporting in your own country. But you are too stupid to realize.

  15. SatchmoSings says:

    @mmoneib 02. Now that you’ve got your own fate in your own hands, you’ll soon have something worse than Mubarak much as Iran now has something worse than the Shah; you’re a typical 3rd-world loser who can’t take any responsibility for your own idiocy; look at what India and China have done and these two countries were raped over a lot more than Egypt was in the last 120 years.

    Go to Hell, you fucking loser/idiot.

  16. SatchmoSings says:

    @mmoneib 01. I’m no fortune teller, I’m just repeating what pollsters of your countrymen have found.

    Secondly, go fuck yourself regarding your accusation of my parents; I was born a “Red Diaper Baby,” you moron.

    I agree, Freedom and Democracy are not exclusive to the West; Japan, Taiwan and S. Korea are all fine examples this way and I can assure you no Arab country within the next 20 years will ever adopt this.

  17. mmoneib says:

    @SatchmoSings So you are a fortune teller?! And what is western-style republicanism?! Your parents were probably practicing racism while we got rid of it many centuries ago. Freedom and democracy is not exclusive to the west no matter what you may think. We’ve been suffering from dictators backed by your country for decades. It’s not easy to teach people who have been living in oppression for many years about democracy in months. It could get years, but we’ll eventually succeed.

  18. SatchmoSings says:

    The media and the Left-wing Muslim sycophants in the West don’t give a shit about the Copts anymore than they care about Berbers, Nubians, Phoenicians, Assyrians and Chaldeans or even the people of Darfur,

    The Arabs and Muslims could be killing everyone of these minorities but the only thing they’ll be interested in is the plight of the Palestinians vis-a-vie Israel.

  19. SatchmoSings says:

    @mmoneib My friend, you’re not going to have Western-style Republicanism; you’re going to have more one-party rule only this time the Party will be The Muslim Brotherhood.

    I wish the Copts all the best in this!!!

  20. SatchmoSings says:

    @Yasoo3Ba3boos Arabs are not native to Egypt, idiot; the Copts are; they’re the direct descendants of those that built the pyramids; they became Christian with the rest of the Roman Empire.

    All you Arabs should go back to Arabia so Berbers, Copts, Nubians, Phoenicians, JEWS, Chaldeans and Assyrians can all have their land back, free of the violence and oppression of Arab colonialism!

  23. MsCoverTina says:

    @Yasoo3Ba3boos Muslim land??? Go learn some history! It’s Egyptian Land. We have been living here for thousands of years, hun. Please look up your heritage! and we will get our rights, PEACEFULLY. We do not kill, we have rights and will get them PEACEFULLY.

  24. neuromancer45 says:

    @iwantthatfoot @yourenotsmartenough Fanatics like yourselves are as bad as those who calls you filth; peace will not be attained by knifing a mother and strangling her 5 yrs old child to death; neither will it be achieved by living false reality and talking about 1000s killed ‘in yr dreams’. Egyptians both Copts and Muslims are one and will continue to live together in peace despite yr blind hate and the Church’s or any others’ attempts – Peace!

  32. BBjoker13 says:

    @exposingthemachine The word “church” actually comes from a different Greek word “kuriakon,” pronounced koo-ree-ak-on. Kuriakon actually means “pertaining to the lord.” It is used twice in scripture: 1 Cor 11:20 The “ Lord’s [ kuriakon] supper;” and Rev 1:10, the “ Lord’s [ kuriakon] day.” In those passages it is the supper belonging to the Lord and the day belonging to the Lord respectively.

    Quotes
    Circe was an ancient Greek goddess who could hypnotize men, bring them into her house, and turn them into animals —
    taking their minds away, so that they could support and feed her. She was known as “Mother Circe,” and her worship was brought to medieval Scotland, in whose language Circe became “Kirk.” The Scottish word “Kirk” becomes “Church” in English. Where else have we seen the word “Kirk?” captain Kirk
