Shiite/Sunni :The Two Houses Of Islam
Avi Lipkin gives us insights into the Islamic faith.
The Sunnis and the Shiites have been in conflict since the
death of Mohammed himself. There are 1.3 billion Muslims in the
world:roughly 85 percent are Sunni and 15 percent are Shiite. The one
thing they have in common is their Islamic faith. You can't understand
the events unfolding in the Mid East without understanding their
important and complicated history and relationship.
This DVD will be released in South Africa in Dec.

*** Spreading God's Love***
As we prayed over our ministry offers for this season,
the Lord filled our spirits with a twofold message.
When we call on the Lord we need to be sanctified and cleansed by
the Blood of Jesus. We need to forgive all those that have sinned against us in
the same way we trust the Lord to forgive us. As the the Lord blesses us
when we stand before Him with a spirit of forgiveness, we can then go forward
reflecting;
"His Image".
The Lord's Greatest Blessing we possess is the truth of His Word,
the same Word that became flesh.
In our pricing from now till the end of the year we have structured all
our products in such a way that you can buy K-House and Kings Highway
products and there will be something extra to give to others.
To our very special Brothers and Sisters in the Lord who receive our
weekly mailer, as you have been blessed by what you have received from Chuck &
Nancy Missler, we pray that you will be able to pass on the blessing at this
time of forgiving and sharing it with others.
For those who have friends and family in far away places and you are
pondering on what to send them, order on line, we will confirm the freight
rates and have your gift sent securely to them. Do it early to ensure it
gets on time. Jesus was never late reflection friends.
We ask for your prayers at this time and for your blessing by sending this
mailer to a friend who may also have the need to bless someone.

SCIENTISTS CLONE MONKEY EMBRYOS -
A team of scientists in Oregon claim they have successfully extracted stem cells from a cloned monkey embryo. Their findings have yet to be published, but if confirmed it will represent a breakthrough in stem cell research. The results of the research are significant, scientists believe, because of the biological similarities between humans and primates. They say we are now one step closer to cloning human embryos.
You may recall that in May of 2005 a South Korean scientist named Woo-Suk Hwang and his team announced that they had become the first in the world to successfully clone a human embryo for stem cell research. However it was later discovered that Hwang intentionally fabricated his research results. The high-profile scandal rocked the scientific world and Hwang eventually resigned his post in disgrace.
Many scientists believe that therapeutic cloning could be used to create human embryos from which stem cells can be extracted. The cells could then be used in medical treatments because they would be an exact genetic match to the patient. However reproductive cloning is expensive and highly inefficient. It can take several hundred attempts to produce one viable clone. Furthermore, the complex nature of cloning requires a high level of technical expertise and the cost of such a procedure would be enormous – too high for most patients.
Why All The Fuss?
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different kinds of cells. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell. That is why stem cells are often referred to as the "master cells" of the human body. That is also why they can be used to repair damaged tissue and treat diseases.
There are two basic types of stems cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are extracted from fertilized eggs or embryos. When the stem cells are removed the embryo is destroyed, raising a variety of ethical concerns. Adult stem cells, however, can be safely extracted from various places in the human body, such as fatty tissue, blood, and bone marrow.
Many scientists believe that embryonic stem cell research will result in miracle cures to some of our most debilitating diseases, but scientists have yet to learn how to control and manipulate these powerful cells. In fact, in laboratory research using rodents, embryonic stem cells either caused tumors or were rejected by the host - which is why many scientists to look to therapeutic cloning as a source for compatible stem cells.
Money Well Spent?
The truth about embryonic stem cells is very different from the media hype. Billions of dollars have been invested in controversial embryonic stem cell research, however embryonic stem cells have yet to benefit a single patient. After 20 years of research, there are no approved treatments or human trials using embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, scientists admit that it could be another 20 years before embryonic stems cells can be used to effectively treat disease - if ever.
While embryonic stem cell potential remains theoretical, adult stem cell treatments are already being used to successfully treat many diseases. The use of adult stem cells in research and therapy is not as controversial as embryonic stem cells, because the production of adult stem cells does not require the destruction of an embryo. Adult stem cells also pose little or no medical danger to the patient - because the cells come from the patient's own body there is no risk of transplant rejection or tumors. Among the stunning advancements in adult stem cell therapy are treatments for various types of cancer, leukemia, arthritis, anemia, liver and cardiovascular diseases, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries and even age-related macular degeneration (one of the leading causes of blindness).
Adult stem cells have literally enabled the lame to walk and the blind to see, while embryonic stem cells have yet to treat a single disease. Despite this fact, advocates of cloning and embryonic stem cell research among the press, the public, and the scientific community remain resolute. It would seem that the battle over stem cell research has become more about politics and prejudice than scientific fact.
