There are two types of humans.
One type is organic and has a 1000 year life span
the other type is inorganic and can last forever.

Let us make man in our image.
Genesis 1:26-28
Means the inorganic version of humans came first.
Which means God is an inorganic humanoid.

So, dear one, Jesus is the physical body for the spirit God. Not a version of, but the body for God, just as we are,
we are spirits, consciousness, inside of flesh.
Unlike the angels, God allowed Himself to be born into flesh, such that He would be fully limited by the flesh.
Being limited, as the man Jesus, He had to believe that He was God.
As such the devil tempted Him repeatedly saying "If you are the Son of God".
But understanding and believing the Messiah said "thou shalt not temp the Lord thy God"
and with that statement He answered the temptation as both a man and as God.
He was and is fully man and fully God.

It's quite easy for Christians to recognize that white supremicists,
trying to incite their followers on social media to commit acts of
violence and destruction against the American government, in
order to incite a race war in America, is evil.

Note that it is proper for the Justice Department to indict and prosecute
these white supremicist speakers, as they are not covered by some mythical
"immunity from prosecution" by the right to freedom of speech.
---------- ----------

What is NOT quite so obvious to many American Christians, is that there is an
overlap between the rhetoric of white supremicist groups, and the rhetoric of
other influencers on the Internet, whom Christians would NOT associate with
white supremicists.

For example, we see arguments used by the white supremicists, sometimes
echoed by Tucker Carlson in his conspiracy theory hallucinations. Tucker
recently came out with the story that Hitler and the Nazis, did not really "plan"
the Holocaust of the Jews, despite reams of historical evidence that both
Hitler and the Nazi regime carefully planned the Holocaust. The white supremicists
say the same thing.

For example, we see the rhetoric among white supremicists, that non-white
people (whatever that means), are a huge source of disease and crime and
stolen jobs, for (white) American Christians. You might think that no American
Christians would be dumb enough NOT to realize that these same arguments, as
used by some politicians (who do not come right out and say that they are
white supremicists), are actually THE ARGUMENTS OF WHITE SUPREMICISTS.

It is right for the Department of Justice to pursue the prosecution of these
abusive groups, with the RICO racketeering laws, and to hold these groups
accountable for the lies that they are telling, and the criminal activity that
they are trying to incite.

It is fine for Christians to advocate for the upholding of law and order.

But when politicians or Christians bypass the fair rule of law in America, and advocate for
"taking the law into your own hands", then they are advocating for lawlessness. They
are advocating for bypassing the fair rule of law in America. And, for Christians,
lawlessness is sin.

Christians should be aware of the great difference between being for "law and order",
and advocating for bypassing the law, and carrying out acts of lawless vigilantism.

Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado allowed a "nonbinary" female to supervise boys' showers and forced a female student to share a bed with a male, violating parental rights over children's privacy and accommodation decisions on school trips, according to a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of parents.

The lawsuit accuses JCPS of not providing truthful information to parents concerning who will be supervising and sharing accommodations with their children on school-sponsored trips, the advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom, which filed the complaint on behalf of three families, said in a statement.

The policy at the center of the controversy directs that students be "assigned to share overnight accommodations with other students that share the student's gender identity" rather than according to their biological sex.

And the ideologues said "no one is forcing anyone to go along with this ideology". These examples are just the unreality of the ideology spilling out into real life. The more its infiltrated into mainstream society the more we will see these examples.

The logical extention of the underlying idea that subjective identity is a protected species is that subjective identity is reality. Is a new form of objective reality, if you could call it that. But a new measure of what is real in the world. As opposed to say biological sex which was until 5 minutes ago the objective reality.

So of course like anything, like physics and gravity if you subjectively believe you can fly you will come crashing down to earth. The same with Trans and Gender ideology. There are many down to earth moments like the ones mentioned.

I think the more these examples happen the more people begin to realise the unreality of the ideology. Most people only have a superficial view of whats going on and as this is often about nobel causes they tend to go along. So the more we can expose what is really going on by exposing the unreality of the underlying ideology through facts and with objective and lived reality the better.

Bitterness will eat you up,
Make you now its slave.
Bitterness will fill your cup,
Drink from it always.

Bitterness affects your life,
Happiness not found.
Bitterness will grind you up,
Churning round and round.

Must forgive if you be free
From what holds you down.
Must depart from bitter roots,
Or in them you’ll drown.

Sadness steals the joyful heart,
Turns a smile to frown,
When forgiveness not engaged,
Bitter root is grown.

Please forgive, twill set you free
From your slavery.
Let it go, alive now be,
Heart now filled with glee.

An Original Work / September 29, 2022

It's easier if I just tell you my position. The decree of Cyrus to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple was carried out in stages. It was, I think, the decree of Artaxerxes in 457 BC that re-started the process that had been going on, the Temple largely having been built but still needing final touches. From 457 BC to 30 AD is 487 years, which is the 69 Weeks (483 years) plus 1/2 Week (3.5 years).

This is the point at which the Messiah was to be cut off, when in the midst of the 70th Week offerings were brought to an end by the act of the Roman ruler. He had Jesus put to death, ending all possibility of making Temple offerings to God, since the Lord Himself had been rejected by the Jewish People, including the priests and religious rulers.

It is said that the "people of the ruler to come" would destroy the city and the sanctuary. And so, after Christ was crucified, Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed by the Roman leader's Army, the Abomination of Desolation. They were a pagan Army violating the sanctity of the holy city where the Temple was located. And they would desolate the city and the sanctuary.

This would lead not just to Jerusalem's destruction, but also to the continuing tribulation of the Jewish People who would remain under punishment until the return of Christ. This is exactly as laid out in Luke 21, where an Army is viewed as surrounding Jerusalem, and casting the people of Israel into captivity, being exiled until the endtimes.

The “cloud of witnesses,” I believe, are those mentioned in Hebrews 11 who were people of faith, and who proved their faith to be genuine by their obedience to God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – our triune God (3 in 1). They set the example for us for what our faith should look like. For if our faith in Jesus Christ is genuine, it will be shown by our denial of self, our dying with Christ daily to sin, and our walks of obedience to our Lord in holy living – all in the power and wisdom of God.

Therefore, we who believe in Jesus Christ with God-persuaded and God-gifted faith in him are to lay aside (cast off, get rid of) every weight (hindrance) to our walks of faith and obedience to our Lord. And these can be things in our lives which are stumbling blocks to us. They can be TV sets, the internet, computers, smart phones, magazines, movies, sports, certain possessions, food, music, and any kind of cravings and desires of the flesh. And they can be hatred, bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness, too.

These are things that have the potential to lead anyone into sin because they have done so before. For those who are living in addiction to sin, these things regularly have the capacity to lead them to the same sins repeatedly. Some of these things may not be sinful in themselves, but they either contain sinful content within them or they are just objects which lead certain people to continue in particular sinful habits. So, these need to be gotten rid of so that they don’t lead the sinner into sin repeatedly.

Then, when the objects of temptation are removed, if they can be removed, those who are still giving way to particular sinful habits can more easily cast off those sins which have still been clinging ever so closely. But removing the objects of temptation alone is not enough in itself to guarantee victory over sin. All the bitterness, hatred, envy, lusts, anger, resentment, pride, selfishness, rebellion, and unforgiveness have to be let go of and cleansed out of the heart or the addict will keep repeating the same sins.

And then the one who has been practicing sin must repent of his/her sins, and then they must surrender their lives to Jesus Christ in submission to his will and purpose for their lives. And they must submit to Christ as Lord (Owner-Master) of their lives. And by faith in him, they must now choose to forsake their sins and to follow Jesus Christ in obedience to his commands in holy living, to the glory and praise of God. And daily they must deny self, die to sin (by the Spirit), and walk in obedience to the Lord (see Luke 9:23-26).

And then, as they keep their eyes focused on Jesus Christ, and their dependence is now in him, and not in their own flesh, they can run with endurance the race (the walk of faith in Jesus Christ) that is set before us, which God purposed that we should run/walk as those who are of genuine faith in Jesus Christ. And this involves us daily saying “NO!” to sin and “Yes!” to God, by the Spirit, and by God’s grace us living self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for our Lord’s return (see Titus 2:11-14).

[Rom 1:18-32; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14,24; Rom 12:1-2; Rom 13:11; 1 Co 1:18; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 1 Co 15:1-2; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; 2 Tim 1:8-9; Gal 5:16-21; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Php 2:5-11: Col 1:21-23; Col 3:5-17; Tit 2:11-14; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 9:28; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1897
Music by W. J. Kirkpatrick, 1897

Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

Tulsi Gabbard says Dick Cheney has made it easier: 'A vote for Kamala Harris is...' - Times of India

US News: Tulsi Gabbard who joined Team Trump ahead of the election said she served in the Middle East and she believes that Bush's VP Dick Cheney is responsibl

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

I include this article, to prompt Christians to think carefully about
the arguments that journalists are making. This argument is from the
Times of India. Half of India's citizens are illiterate, so they are ripe for
manipulation by those who can read and write....

Note that the journalist associated Dick Chaney with the reason that
America got involved in all the wars it did, in the Middle East. This is
hardly an objective assertion.

But, regarding voting for a president, the journalist claims that "a vote
for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney", Tulsi Gabbard asserts.

Note that this is dysfunctional logic. Dick Cheney is not running for any
office. A vote for Kamala, is specifically, a vote for Kamala. Why voters
may vote for Kamala and Tim Walz -- well, there may be dozens of reasons.
But the journalist from the times of India, does not mention this truth. The assertion
uses both a literal meaning of "vote", and a metaphorical meaning of "vote".

It would be the same argument, that RFK Junior supports Trump, so a vote for Trump
is a vote for someone who left a dead bear cub in Central Park, and who thinks
that he has a dead worm in his brain. And who believes ridiculous conspiracy
theories.

THAT doesn't make any sense.
---------- ----------

Christians should be much more critical, when reading articles that suppose
that they know the INTENTIONS of people, when they engage in some action.

Once a journalist IMPUTES some intention to someone in an article, they
rarely go back and correct that imputation, if they find out that they are
wrong. The journalist should have gathered the statements from Liz Cheney
and Dick Cheney, regarding WHY they were advising that people vote for
Kamala Harris, along with the statement by Tulsi Gabbard, about why she
thinks that the Cheneys are supporting Kamala Harris, over against Trump.

Both sides do it and whats interesting is that the media in general are not just reporting anymore but reporting according to an ideological reason. How belief has more or less crept into the dissemination of information.

I think this is endemic of how identity politics has spread into all facets of life and this is indemic of the political becoming the personal, a rally cry of the Feminist and Queer movements of the 70's and 80's.

I think its also that mainstream society, the public square in rejecting the traditional belief in God has lost its moral compass and become relativistic. So substitute beliefs and morals fill the void. The current Woke is one example of this permeation. As a response both sides become more extreme and intensify their ideological positions.

But I also think more generally this is the result of living in a Postmodernist era. Postmodernism is basically about language, narratives and words ccreating the reality we live in rather than objective reality. Its basically social constructionism the belief that reality is a social contruction.

So the media becomes the vichicle in which new realities are created. Say it enough and it becomes real. Undermine truth with personal narratives appealing to a nobel cause but hiding an ideological agenda. Though many who are fooled by this new reality really believe what they do. That is until you proble a bit and out comes the unreality.

But its hard to combat because when you have all these alternative narratives and claims and counter claims of fake news with emotional blackmail appealing to nobel reasons people find it hard to destinguish on the surface and most people are good hearted people who fall for such stuff.

Thats why its so important to stop, do some investigation and look at the facts. This includes the lived reality. That is the persons actions as opposed to their words. Or that the persons own words or the information put out by the media is contradicted by the same media and what is actually happening on the ground.

We will always find a disconnect and conflict when people misrepresent the truth and reality. They have a way of coming back to bite us on the backside.

Lewisham Council in London, England, has removed a Progress Pride flag from its headquarters following allegations of political bias and a threat of a High Court injunction.

The complaint was lodged by Christian political candidate Maureen Martin, who accused the council of violating the Local Government Act by displaying the flag during an election period.

Martin, representing the Christian Peoples’ Alliance in Lewisham East, initiated legal action through her lawyers, who warned the council that they would seek injunctive relief in the High Court unless the flags were taken down.

There are extremists on both sides religious and otherwise. As tribalism increases and they find each other you'll realize how far we've gone. If your position breeds hostility the sensible thing is to exercise discrimination when sharing your views. No one can read your mind.
