1 John 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Scientifically speaking, creating a humanzee would be no different from how we've created Ligers and Mules. So why haven't we created a humanzee yet, knowing it's entirely possible and super easy?

Many say it's an issue of morality. But why would it be, considering a humanzee would be neither human, nor chimp. What would be a worst or best case scenario in this situation? Being the eternal optimist that I am, I envision a friendly pet-like companion, like a dog, but much smarter. It's not like it would be in a constant state of pain, like some kind of groaning Frankenstein - nature doesn’t allow animals to live in perpetual pain. Perhaps they could even be trained to do our work for us? Like picking fruit in the fields? Or factory work, or other jobs humans don't particularly like doing? For thousands of years we've been using horses in similar ways - I don't see how a humanzee would be any different.

Hi, friends,

Christ is risen!

Does anybody know what Orthodox books were first published in English around 1977 - mid to late 1970s?

A private Evangelical college in Indiana has dismissed a professor following opposition from critics upset with his past social media posts, which voiced support for same-sex marriage and declared that his pronouns were "he/they."

Grace College recently released Matthew Warner, a communications professor at the Winona Lake school, who started teaching there at the start of the academic year last August.

While the college did not give a specific reason, Religion News Service reported Wednesday that it was "preceded by an online termination campaign" organized by "conservative influencers and Grace College stakeholders."

I wonder who profited from building a miniscule copy of all the trees and jungle cut down and burned? This is the reality of the environmental movement. Destroy nature then replace it with profit through industry, an industry that can never match or replace God's given natural filters.

Are we sure the Ukraine war is about Russia or protecting the interests of corporations? No longer do we need to invade we'll buy them. Poland farmers are also blocking access to Ukraine because Poland is buying grain from Ukraine instead of their farmers. It's Blackrock and Vanguard taking advantage of Ukraine's situation. From the video, I deleted linked here if curious. Polish Farmers

I will share what I have been learning on the topic of self deliverance below. In case it might be interesting to anyone.

And I am asking for anyone to please share any thing learned in this area.

Here are the resources that I have personally found the most helpful. See the YouTube video called:

I was a stripper and Playboy model.

Pastor David Middleton channel on YouTube.

Both of those resources how to do self deliverance.

I will give my personal disclaimers on David Middleton, though. He is great on detailed information, and is constantly supporting what he says with the Bible, but he does not think that Demons are going to go out except by commanding them to leave.

That is not what happened to the woman in the video, who was a stripper. She got freed through constant repetition of Bible verses. And others have reported the same things, in particular in regard to getting miraculous healings.

I also disagree with Middleton when he talks about Benny Hinn being a brother. I’m sorry, but Benny is not someone I personally trust at all.

Also, Middleton speaks out against Hebrew Roots, which I am part of. And he speaks out against using the actual Deity names given in Hebrew in the Bible, as for example, names found in the 2,000
year old Dead Sea Scrolls, and other ancient writings, for the Almighty and Messiah.

I’ve gotten tons of prayers answered in the past by saying, God or Jesus. But after I studied a little Hebrew, I switched to the Hebrew. And I think there is something wrong in him for wanting to keep people from using the age old Scriptural names.

But I don’t want to toss out the baby with the bathwater, so I’m still listening to him with hopefully lots of discernment. We are all imperfect people, and the Lord uses imperfect people, which is all he has to work with.

I’ve also seen that people can get deliverance through prayers alone. But if that doesn’t work, we are told to command demons to go out. Before our Savior left, the first thing he told his followers to do was to cast out demons.

P.S. The playboy model video has no inappropriate content at all. But if you are a male, maybe even a female, you might want someone else to find the video for you and blow it up full-size before watching it. Because to the right, there are many thumbnails of Playboy models basically with nothing on.

1. Fanie Willis under investigation herself.
2. Jack Smith possible evidence tampering.
3. Alvin Bragg can't even define what the charges are. Judge is a compromised disaster.

All of these should be dropped and if it were not Trump they never would have even been charged.

Before I begin let me say that I don't believe that I'm an apostle, prophet or teacher. So please don't take me wrong. I reject titles and I don't know what I am to he honest. I'm no apostle Paul that's for sure. I try to follow him and the other apostle though as we all should.

Anyway, getting to the point of this thread, I've experienced things that make me afraid and times of fear and confusion. I believed that it's the shadow death in psalms 23. I believed that its also the daily dying that Paul teaches about. He died daily. I feel so oppressed sometimes that I weep.

I don't know what it is. Is it mental illness, spiritual warfare, the cross, or all of the above maybe?. I don't even know. I'm very fearful and weak. People will likely say that God hasn't given us a spirit of fear but the apostles knew the fear of God. They were confused at times as well.

Corinthians 4:8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.

13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Seeing the Invisible
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

I have fond memories of my childhood and America. I remember MTv, fragile Rock, HBO and cable TV. I remember the 4th of July as a kid. If only I could go back to a more simpler time. That's how my fleshy mind thinks.

It's all rubbish to me now however. I can't go back and America never helped me follow Jesus. It helped kill me inside instead. I want to live.

Ecclesiastes 7:10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?”.For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
And profitable to those who see the sun.
12 For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

13 Consider the work of God;
For who can make straight what He has made crooked?
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful,
But in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one [h]as well as the other,
So that man can find out nothing that will come after him.

Many preachers, prophets and apostles boast of their anointing but they don't seem know what it is, nor do they live by it or teach it. Jesus and the apostles were not rich like them. They taught against wanting wealth and the world including America

1 John 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Deceptions of the Last Hour
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the[d] Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you[e] know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

1 John 2:24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to [f]deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you [g]will abide in Him.

The Children of God
28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that [h]when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

I don't listen to Joyce Myers or any teacher but I can't get over how she wears jewelry and teaches wealth and prosperity. To me this is pride, vanity and greedy lust for money.

The jewelry I can understand a little. She claims to be abused by her father. I'm unsure if that was sexual abuse or not but maybe she feels ugly because of that abuse.

Maybe she has self esteem issues and wants to make herself beautiful. i understand that. A woman used expensive perfume to wash Jesus feet so maybe it's like that. i don't know. However she is no teacher in my opinion.

Please feel free prove me wrong however. I try to see good in people and not just faults

All Trump's talk over more jobs was just talk, with unemployment soaring on his watch. Foxconn was just one more fake story from Trump. And Biden took the opportunity to twit him a bit when announcing a real job project by Microsoft.

I don't understand why people support Israel. They're not Christian are they? Isn't that like supporting the anti Christ? Forgive me if I'm wrong but how am I supposed to see it?

So we hate Muslims for hating Jesus but we love Jews who hate Jesus, what wisdom is this?

Furthermore people who think that way often seem to become warmongering Christians who want to save Israel with war and weapons.

I love all people the same. I dont care who you are. I hope for us all. We are commanded to pray for men everywhere. We are commanded to greet everyone and not just for our brethren like the unbelievers do.

I don't know if this vid is real or not and I can't prove it either way , but it's promoted by this man Pascal Najadi who is involved in Donald Trumps space force , speaks highly of Mike Flynn and just recently did an interview with Lt Colonel Riccardo Bosi , so I take him to be the real deal.

Now the vid shows a number of things , it shows the astronauts along with the camera crew filming what is supposed to be the moon landing among other things , but obviously doing it here from earth. Lights falling and other crazy stuff.

See what you think guys , because I don't normally get into this type of stuff , it always seemed too unreal for me. But I have always had an open mind...


TRUTH: « We are the Guardians of Humanity and our Light Obliterates the darkness of evil, and Treason, Always » - We are Human Species and now we are Striking Back - Spring of 2024 #STORM - Beyond Biblical

When Jesus Christ lived on the earth he told the people that if anyone would come after him that he must deny self, take up his cross daily, and follow him. Well, when Jesus took up his cross it was to put our sins to death with him. So when we take up our cross daily, it is to die daily to sin. And then to follow Jesus is to obey him, and to model our lives after him and how he lived. For, in essence, he said that if we hold on to our old lives, we will lose them for eternity, but if we deny self, die daily to sin, and follow him in obedience, then we have eternal life in him (see Luke 9:23-26).

So, faith in Jesus Christ should result in us giving up our old lives of living in sin and for self so that we can now follow him in obedience to his commands. And this is a process of sanctification, but it is not to be regarded lightly nor for us to think that we can just hold on to our sins as long as we want because it is a process. For as soon as we are aware that we are sinning against the Lord, and that we are doing what displeases him, by his grace we are to put those things out of our lives, and we are to replace those bad things with the things of God that he wants in our lives.

So a walk of faith in Jesus Christ is that daily putting off the flesh and putting on God and his righteousness. And it involves us putting off those old sinful habits and replacing them with what is the opposite. So if lying has been our practice, we need to stop lying and we need to make telling the truth our practice. If stealing and cheating have been our practice, we need to stop doing that and now we must be generous and give to others who are in need. If our speech has been filled with hate and evil, we need to now speak the truth in love to others, in kindness, but not lying to them.

And anytime that we choose our sins over God, and we tell God “No!,” while we tell the flesh, “Yes!,” we grieve the Holy Spirit of God. For Jesus died on that cross to deliver us out of our slavery to sin, not just to forgive us our sins, and not so we can keep on sinning without feeling guilty. The whole point of our salvation from sin is to change us, to transform us, to take us from being those who were, living for self and in sin, to those who are now living for God and for his righteousness. So we put off all that is of the flesh and we put on all that is of God and that is of his love (Romans 6:1-23).

And with regard to anger, we get our emotions from God, and he gets angry sometimes, but for the right reasons. So it is possible to be angry without sinning if we are angry over injustice, genocide, adultery, abortions, and all that is evil and is against the Lord and that is harmful to other humans. But we must not let that anger settle into our minds and hearts and then have it turn into bitterness and resentment and a desire to get even with others. We must use the anger, instead, as a springboard to rightful actions and decisions which are helpful to others, and not harmful to them nor to self.

So, just understand that the Christian walk of faith is all about us turning away from our sins to now follow Jesus in obedience to his commands. So we put off all that is of the flesh and that is sinful so that we can put on all that is of God and that is righteous, holy, just, honest, morally pure, upright, faithful, loving, and obedient to our Lord. And daily we deny self and die to sin and we follow our Lord in obedience to his will and to his plan that he has for our lives. For this is what genuine faith in Jesus Christ looks like, which is God’s gift to us, and it is what his grace trains us to do (Titus 2:11-14).

I don't seee how political gossip is good. I don't see how Trump or Biden are mature Christians. They engage in gossip themselves.

I dont agree with rich Christians either. We are not here to live in luxury. That's not what I see the apostles or Jesus teach us.

I know the fear and worry over economics, social security and other worldly matters is not faith in God or obedience to him.

I know promoting war is not good. Let God handle that. Im not saying that soldiers are wrong necesarily but we shouldn't promote any war.

To me vanity is wrong. We shouldn't want to be judged or adored by our appearance in any way. In my opinion.


I'm not perfect but I know these things.

I have a prayer request about my job. This is something I've thought about for quite some time.

I haven't been happy with my current position and I'm not happy with the company I work for. It does have some good things about it, but I'm tired of the bad things that do go on at work.

I really hate how several of my coworkers are not dedicated to doing a good job. It's dramatically changed the past four years. The company went from "do it right the first time" to "do whatever you feel". I work with slackers that don't understand what the problem is. They're just there to collect a check, they don't really think about their work output and how it affects other people and the future of the company.

My current job, I took it because I was desperate to get out of another department. The managers had told us not too long ago that a new position would be opening up (one that I'm interested in), but nothing has been heard about since they announced it.

I've wanted to leave, but I don't know where to go. I've browsed the Internet for jobs, but I haven't found anything I like.

I would really like a job where I worked with people that shared similar work values, and one where I felt like I was making a difference.

Will you pray for me about finding another job? Thanks.

Reader,

There are some who teach that the "Gospel" is : Acts 2:38.

Now, if you are familiar with Christianity, then you know that everyone is invited to become a Christian......Jews, Gentiles,.........
>"The World"... = John 3:16.

So, one of the things we find out about the NT, is... = if an Apostle does not know something then they can't teach it until they know it.

And Peter, who was the Act 2:38 preacher, did not understand the Gospel of the Grace of God, until Acts 15. = Not until He was taught it by Paul.

Now, How is all that relevant to Paul? and Acts 2:38

Its like this reader, ... Many people and denominations consider Acts 2:38 as the Gospel... and these people are very strong proponents for "Water baptism"..
In Fact they are so into the water aspect that they read that "Noah was saved by water" and can't understand that Had NOAH and Family gotten out of that ARK, then Noah and Family, would have DIED in that FLOOD WATER JUDGEMENT.

See, it was the ARK that kept them OUT of the WATER, is why they LIVED.., as that wooden ARK is not just their Salvation from that water, but its symbolic of the Cross of Christ that was WOOD, (A TREE) , and Christ on it, is our ARK .
How?
Christ on that WOOD, takes the Judgement for our sin, just as Noah's Ark saved Noah and Family from the WATER that was God's Judgment.

Now let me show you a few things..

First, Peter was not water baptized in Acts 2:38. and you can read it for yourself.
So, we could stop right there, as that proves that WATER is not going to save anything, when the very person who is telling those JEWS to get in the water, was not himself water baptized that day.
But lets continue, as some of you, are waking up, and some of you are learning something you need to know.

= NONE in the "upper room" were water baptized in Acts 2:38, and you can read it for yourself.
And Peter and those same were speaking with tongues, yet none were water baptized., in Acts 2:38

Water Baptism, began before Jesus showed up, Reader.
Its a big part of the Jewish OT Situation, and you've read that John The Baptist.. (John the Water Baptizer) was baptizing Jews long before Jesus showed up, and this saved NONE of them.. It washed NONE of their sin away.
So, when The JEW = PETER........ was preaching in Acts 2:38, He preached all he knew, and that was for that day, but it is not for now, regarding water being necessary as a part of the process of God's Redemption.
it wasn't a part of it on that day... or Peter would have gotten water baptized and those in the upper room also..

See that?

So why did Peter Preach it? = Its because its ALL HE KNEW at that time., as at that time if you were a Jew, you repented and John the water Baptizer dunked you... it was a part of the law, and Jesus did it because as He said.>>"Let us fulfill all things".. all things related to the law, as Jesus was born under the Law.

ENTER... Paul the Apostle, who was sent to preach .. ""The preaching of the Cross is the power of God unto salvation, for everyone who Believes"".

And notice this verse.. ."Its pleased GOD by the foolishness of PREACHING.. to SAVE THOSE... who BELIEVE"... (not get in the water).

And "Save those who believe what"?

A.) Paul's gospel...>"The Gospel of the GRACE OF GOD" that is the "preaching of the Cross of Christ".

Now how do you know that Peter didnt know anything about the "Gospel of the Grace of God in Acts 2"?

Its because Peter didnt know that Gentiles could be saved, until 10 yrs after Jesus is back in Heaven.
So, if you dont KNOW that Jews and Gentiles can both be saved, then you dont understand God's Salvation, according to how PAUL was sent to teach it, by Revelation from JESUS Himself.

Read Acts of the Apostles... Chapter 10, written a decade after Jesus is back in Heaven., and discover that Peter didnt know that Gentiles could be saved... YET.. SO....= God had to give Peter a vision, to cause Him to UNDERSTAND this about Gentiles.
So, You can't preach the true Gospel, that includes GENTILES being saved.... if you dont yet know it.
And that is why Acts 2:38, is NOT The Gospel.

And here is one more.
Paul said...>"Christ sent me NOT to water baptize"........and that does not mean that we are not to be water baptized.
I was water baptized 11 yrs after i was born again. I was water baptized, about 5 yrs after i was called into the Ministry by the Holy Spirit.

See reader to understand the TRUE Gospel..... in "the time of the Gentiles".. and we are in it....
It means that the correct understanding of the process of Redemption, is not about water....its about the BLOOD OF JESUS and the CROSS of Christ and Faith that is counted by God as "righteousness", and water has no part in that, at all.

It was in Acts 15, that Peter learned what Paul knew, that Paul learned from Jesus, and from that point, all the Apostles understood "Paul's Gospel of the Grace of God" that is not related to water baptism.

I want to rebuke so many churches. But I chase them away with my beliefs and problems so maybe its for the best. I hate religion with a passion. The division is over nonsense and it makes me a little agitated.

According to the late medieval historian Lynn white, Christianity is largely responsible for environmental destruction associated with the spread of western culture. What's noteworthy about Lynn White, besides being a medieval historian (and not an Earth scientist), he was also a devout Presbyterian, the son of a pastor. But he still put the blame for environmental exploitation on Christianity, especially the creation mandate in Genesis, but also the dualistic thinking that places soul and spirit above the physical world. In many cases, Christians were active involved in the destruction of older, nature-based religions, which respected nature as a place of residence of various spirits that had to be considered in any affairs of humanity- sacred groves and springs were particularly common in pre-Christian Europe.

White does point out that there were exceptions, such as St. Francis, who had positive views of the natural world, but his voice was marginalized by the Church and has little influence over the average Christian.

In March 2021, Joe Biden signed an executive order focused on "access to voting," directing federal government agencies to bolster voter registration efforts, facilitate mail-in voting applications for Americans, and tackle misinformation, among other provisions. This order encapsulates the Democratic Party agenda, embedding numerous practices implemented temporarily during the pandemic-impacted 2020 election.


Three years later, the House GOP is now investigating the Biden administration after documents revealed that the White House has been coordinating with left-wing activists on voter registration.
"GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly worried that an executive order issued by President Joe Biden in 2021, which mandated that federal agencies develop voter registration plans with 'approved' outside groups, will be unlawfully weaponized this November to boost Democratic turnout," reports the Washington Examiner. "The Biden administration has framed the unprecedented operation as nonpartisan, though internal documents show the government hosted a July 2021 order planning call that appeared to serve overwhelmingly as a platform for left-wing organizations to suggest sweeping election policy changes."


“President Biden’s EO is an overreach of the executive branch’s constitutional authority and disregards the Constitution’s federalist election system,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “The states set the time, manner, and place of their own elections, and this EO must be looked at seriously.”

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said the internal meeting notes reveal “illegal coordination” between the Biden administration and progressive activists to plot “election interference,” adding that lawmakers are investigating the 2021 executive order “to ensure our elections are free and fair.” Stefanik is widely considered as in the running to be former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick in 2024.
Republican lawmakers and conservative legal scholars argue that the executive order is unconstitutional and disregards several federal regulations. Among these are the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits federal agencies from exceeding approved funds allocated by Congress, and the Hatch Act, which restricts government employees from participating in specific political endeavors.

According to meeting notes obtained by the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project and Foundation for Government Accountability, participants from activist organizations deliberated on various topics, such as registering illegal immigrants and incorporating voter registration as a prerequisite in federal law for public housing.


The Oversight Project underscored in a recent memo its belief that the 2021 executive order is a partisan endeavor aimed at shaping future election outcomes by leveraging federal resources, infrastructure, and influence.
Like other lawmakers, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) said the meeting notes reveal a coordinated and since-secretive effort by Biden to work with progressives “to figure out a way to leverage federal resources and enhance Democrat political power.”

Earlier this week, the House GOP introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to prevent illegal immigrants and noncitizens from voting in federal elections. As you can imagine, Democrats have indicated they have no intention of supporting the bill. This really puts the border crisis into perspective, doesn't it?

2000 yrs ago a small group of conspiracy theorists traveled around preaching a new thing they called the Gospel and were warning the people about this matrix that they were living in , ruled by an evil tyrant they called Satan , who through his politicians and religious leaders kept control of the masses.

Some of the people understood and believed but others thought it was just a B grade story straight out of a sifi comic book.
Anyway the rulers of this dark evil matrix decided they needed to put a stop to this preaching of the Gospel and this waking people up to the fact that they are free sovereign beings under God , and not someone else's property to become slaves.

And the rest is history as they say.
God bless conspiracy theorists , where would we be with out them.

I don't know much about the Amish but I love their simplicity. Don't get me wrong I love my electricity but I love simplicity as well. The Amish are hard working farmers as well. I've talked to a few of them at flea markets. Sometimes they own the market place.

But their religion must be lacking somewhere because they dont evangelize. Isn't it the churches mission to evangelize? I don't judge them however because I myself am nothing. I barely keep my head above water. But I like things about the Amish. I just don't know what they teach.
