Decommissioning lies exposed

The lies concerning the decommissioning of IRA weapons that we were told, and that were swallowed by gullible unionists only interest in holding political office, are being exposed.

More and more weapons are turning up in police searches. More than 170 guns have been seized by the PSNI since April 2008. 

The Irish Independent newspaper has the following report:

More Provisional IRA guns are turning up in searches and raids carried out by the PSNI in Northern Ireland. 

Security sources say that the weapons -- mainly pistols and revolvers -- have been linked to the IRS via ballistic testing and documentation.

Some of the weapons have been traced to pre-ceasefire attacks while others have been matched by their serial numbers to the inventory of guns and ammunition supplied by the Libyan government to the British Foreign Office.

The discoveries -- which the PSNI refuses to discuss -- support the RUC Special Branch estimation that around 60 per cent of all IRA weapons were decommissioned five years ago.

The Special Branch took into account the permanent loss of IRA weapons which were buried and could not physically be retrieved, the theft of weapons by the former quartermaster general of the organisation Michael McKevitt, and the intention of the IRA to hold on to new weapons not on the Libyan inventory.

In September 2005, the IRA decommissioned a substantial quantity of handguns, rifles and heavier calibre weapons and explosives under the supervision of General John de Chastelain.

However, many guns and a quantity of explosives had already been taken from IRA bunkers by the REal IRA leader.

Now guns being seized by the PSNI in searches are being linked to weapons supplied by Colonel Gadaffi and used before the 1994 ceasefire.

Other guns have been linked to the Libyan shipments through their serial numbers which can be traced to batch numbers supplied by Libya. Ammunition in the chambers has also yielded links to corresponding batch numbers, one PSNI source revealed.

Since April 2008 more than 170 unregistered guns have been seized by the PSNI across Northern Ireland.

From April of last year up to the end of February, 62 guns were seized.

Rowan Williams v J C Ryle

It is worth noting the contrast between the comments of Rowan Williams and the preaching of J C Ryle, the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool.

The full sermons of both individuals can be read:

Rowan Williams teaching the heresy of universalism.

J C Ryle teaching Biblical truth from Acts 4:12.

An extract from J C Ryle's sermon:
Let us make sure that we correctly understand what the Apostle Peter means. He says of Christ, Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name in heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Now what is this? This is a very critical statement that we need to clearly understand. He means that no one can be saved from sin - from its guilt, power, and consequences - except by Jesus Christ.
He means that no one can have peace with God the Father - obtain forgiveness of sin in this world, and escape the wrath of God that is coming after death - except through the atoning death and mediation of Jesus Christ.
Only in Christ will we find God’s rich provision of salvation for sinners. Only in Christ will we find God’s abundant mercies coming down from Heaven to earth.
Only the blood of Christ can cleanse us; only the righteousness of Christ’s can clothe us; only the sacrifice of Christ can give us a title to heaven. Jews and Gentiles, educated and uneducated, rich and poor - everyone, no matter what their position or standing in life must either be saved by Jesus Christ or lost forever.
And the Apostle emphatically adds, There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. There is no other person commissioned, sealed, and appointed by God the Father to be the Saviour of sinners, except Christ. The keys of life and death are only found in His hand, and all who want to be saved must go to Him.
There was only one place of safety in the day when the flood came upon the earth, and that was Noah’s ark. All other places and things - mountains, towers, trees, rafts, boats—all were completely useless. Likewise, there is only one hiding place for sinners who want to escape the storm of God’s anger - they must hide their souls in Christ.
There was only one man to whom the Egyptians could go to in the time of famine, when they wanted food - they could only go to Joseph: it was a waste of time to go to anyone else. Likewise, there is only One to whom hungering souls must go, if they don’t want to perish forever - they must go to Christ.

… This doctrine is in perfect harmony with our Lord's own words in the Book of John: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

…I could cut short this part of the subject with one simple argument: “God says so.
