Freeing Us From Slavery to Sin

“Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.” (Hebrews 2:14-15 NASB1995)

Jesus Christ, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – left his throne in heaven, came to earth, and took on human flesh in being born as a baby to a virgin woman, but conceived of the Holy Spirit, and not of man. So he was not born with a sin nature as we are. And while he lived on the earth he was fully human and fully God (God incarnate), and he never sinned. And at the age of 30 he began his earthly ministry. And so he called 12 men to be his disciples and to work alongside him in ministry.

During his 3 to 3 ½ years of ministry on the earth, he healed the sick and afflicted, raised the dead, delivered people from demons, fed the hungry, comforted the sorrowful, and he performed many miracles. He also taught the critical importance of repentance for salvation from sin and for eternal life with God. And repentance, which is gifted to us by God along with our salvation and the faith to believe in Jesus, is a change of heart and mind resulting in a change of behavior away from sin to obedience to our God.

There were many people who followed Jesus for a period of time, but many of them deserted him later on when his teachings became too hard for them to accept. For they were mostly following him because of the miracles he performed. But the religious rulers and people of influence in the temple of God mostly rejected him and fought against him, and tried to find ways to trip him up with his words so they would have cause to accuse him of wrong. And eventually they had him put to death on a cross, hoping to end him.

But it was God’s will and purpose that Jesus Christ should suffer and die on that cross. For in his death, he put our sins to death with him so that, by God-persuaded and God-gifted faith in him, we will now die to sin and live to God and to his righteousness in walks of obedience to his commands, by the Spirit. For in his death and resurrection he rendered powerless him who had the power of death, that is the devil, in order to free us from our addiction to sin so that we will serve God with our lives, living holy lives pleasing to him.

[Isaiah 53:1-12; Matthew 26:26-29; Luke 17:25; John 1:1-36; John 6:35-58; John 8:24,58; John 10:27-33; John 20:28-29; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 9:5; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 2:9; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8-9; Hebrews 2:14-15; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Peter 1:1]

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

And this is the truth of the gospel message taught by Jesus and by his New Testament apostles, which we can discover for ourselves if we read the Scriptures in their appropriate biblical context, and if we do not rely on other humans to tell us the truth. For many are they who are teaching lies in the name of Jesus, and in the name of the gospel of our salvation, who are teaching that all we have to do is to make a verbal confession of Christ as Lord, and now all our sins are forgiven and heaven is secured us for eternity.

But by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

So, please be students of the Scriptures who study them in their correct biblical context, and who believe the teachings of Christ and of his New Testament apostles, and who do not rely on other humans and on social media and on preachers to tell you the truth. For many speak lies, either willfully with the intent to deceive, or unknowingly out of biblical ignorance. And please know that the Scriptures teach that if sin is what we practice, and not obedience to God, that we will not inherit eternal life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Gospel message, who believes?
Jesus Christ died on a tree,
Saving us from all our sin,
So we might be cleansed within.

Had no beauty found in Him,
That we should desire Him.
Man of sorrows, suffering;
Crushed for our iniquities.

Surely He has borne our griefs;
From our sadness, brings relief.
Bore the stripes; forsaken, He,
So forgiven we might be.

We, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us turned his own way.
Jesus calls, “Repent today;
My commandments, now obey.”

Jesus said, to come to him,
We must die to all our sin.
Crucified with Him, we live,
Walking in His righteousness.

Suff’ring servants, we will be,
Taking His identity on us,
When confessing Him
As our Savior, Lord and King.

"Trump Accounts"

Investment accounts for children

I'm not big on investment so my opinion doesn't mean much but I'm inclined to this that this would be a net benefit idea.

I really am unsure it would accomplish what it is planned to accomplish but it seems like a good idea.


People who understand this kinda stuff....thoughts?

Liberal Christians, what is your position on abortion?

In my profile it says I am a republican but that's only because I'm a single-issue voter when it comes to abortion. I believe there is no greater issue. I can understand the problems a Christian may have with Republicans based on immigration (problems that I myself have with the Republicans), but is it really worth siding with abortion enablers over? At least immigrants were allowed to be born!

Proper Progression

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1Co 15:3, 4). This seems to have been the first truth preached by the Apostle Paul. It is plain that such a truth does not in itself clear us from the world, nor give us the realization of our union with Christ on high. It is something done for us (if we accept it—NC), and does not in itself reveal relationship, although it is marvelously suited to show the love of God, the measure being the gift of His Son.

There are multitudes of persons, to whom we should not deny the Christian name, who reach only to this state (going no further than just believing in Christ—NC). They would mourn over any teaching which did not embody the death of Christ as the only meritorious cause of their acceptance before God—a death to save the lost. Hence they would alike reject as valid the ritualism of the day—the pomp of symbolism, and the intellectual setting up of man, and, if they went so far, would insist of the doctrine of justification by faith alone.

With this class of persons, you will find it difficult to maintain a spiritual conversation. They can talk with real earnestness of the results of Christianity, but they cannot really talk of Christ Himself, since they only know of what He has done, rather than what He is in Himself. Such persons, alive to the necessity of a religious life, are more or less safe as to the properties of conduct.

It belongs to them to cultivate the arts and sciences, and to show a respectable, nay, even a religious hue over everything around them; for ignorant of “the sentence of death” in themselves (2Co 1:9), they must fill up life by embellishing “the old man”; in short, they would get the unrenewed—man out of his sinful ways by presenting a man’s own self to him under a more attractive guise. They are not deeply experienced in the ruin of man, but think that something good may yet be made out of it; and all this without at all meaning to deny Christ.

Now the next step, which ought to be known after the fact of Christ dying for our sins and rising again, is that we died with Him. This is unfolded in Romans 6:6: “our old man is crucified with Him.” To have died with the Lord Jesus is a different thing from Christ dying for us (He died for the world but He was not received by most—NC). A temptation arises, it may be some cast of the eye to which the flesh would give way; but I say I cannot entertain it because I am dead (temptation to a believer is not able to get him to desire to lust because of Phl 2:13—NC). People remain in this state for a long time. Their demeanor is, to a certain extent, doleful. They begin to understand the deeper aspects of Christianity, but they are not yet in the experience of the life that comes out of death.

The next stage is that I am not only dead with Christ but alive with Him from the dead—“If ye then be risen with Christ” (Col 3:1). When I only knew that I was dead, there was divine certainty that the old man was crucified by the death of Christ, but no joy. But to be alive with Christ from the dead not only gives me to see a Person—a glorious Object before me, with all His surroundings—but I learn to enjoy divine fellowship with Him there on high, “for your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col 3:3).


—William Wigram (1872 – 1953)




MJS devotional excerpt for December 2

“The believer, having received ‘the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus,’ comes under the influence of the ‘law’ of that Spirit (Rom. 8:2). The operating principle of ‘the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus’ ever works in the direction of profound self-judgment, and of the consciousness that we have in the Lord Jesus not only righteousness, but a divine Source of satisfaction and strength.

“This ‘law’ operates not to give a sense of claim (law), but of divine gift (grace) and resource and support. And thus it makes the one in whom it operates free from ‘the law of sin and death.’ It gives the consciousness that divine goodness is an unfailing resource for our hearts, and that all the treasures of that goodness are stored up in Christ Jesus, that we may learn them there, and find the life of our spirits in the growing knowledge of Him.

—Charles Andrew Coates (1862-1945)



“‘The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus’ made me ‘free from the law of sin and death’ (Rom. 8:2)—not ‘the life,’ but ‘the Spirit of life,’—not our effort, but divine strength; not self-occupation, but occupation with Him in whom we are before the Father, and in whom the divine favor rests upon us full and constant, because on Him it rests.

“There is the substitution of the power of the Spirit for the power of a right will and human effort, the substitution therefore of occupation with the glorified Lord Jesus Christ for occupation with spiritual growth; for then and thus alone is growth obtained.”

—Frederick William Grant (1834-1902

Hey Everybody!

Hi, I don't know how often I'll be able to post on here but I wanted to be able try and see if there could be a discussion about how genuine Christianity fits into different media and if the media fails to why it does. I think it might be a good idea for people to hopefully find such discussions on the internet with honesty and clarity.

Jonathan Roumie on ‘The View’: 2 ‘Lifelong Atheists’ Became Christians After Watching ‘The Chosen’

Actor Jonathan Roumie, who stars as Jesus Christ on the acclaimed series “The Chosen,” returned to “The View” Dec. 1, where he discussed meeting Pope Leo, Hallow’s 25-day Advent prayer challenge, and the impact “The Chosen” has had on others and himself.

“I don’t think it would have the same kind of authenticity,” Roumie said in response to cohost Ana Navarro, who asked if Roumie would be able to play Jesus if he weren’t as “spiritual and religious” as he is.

“I think what I bring to the role is my relationship to Christ, is my relationship to Jesus, my love for him,” said Roumie. “And so by taking on his love for humanity and trying to recreate that, it’s made me a better person. It’s made me want to love people.”

9Marks President Jonathan Leeman: Creating Space for Christians To Vote Pro-Choice ‘Was a Mistake’

During a rapid-fire portion of the “Room for Nuance” podcast, 9Marks President Jonathan Leeman was asked to share a belief from the last five years that he no longer holds.

Leeman was named 9Marks’ new president in April. He explained that in 2018—while speaking alongside now-President Emeritus Mark Dever at a 9Marks-at-9 event during the SBC annual meeting—he publicly allowed for the possibility that Christians could, in some circumstances, vote for a pro-choice political candidate. He said, “I think that was wrong.”

“I think it was 2018, at the SBC, we did a 9Marks-at-9, in which Mark and I on stage talked about the freedom to vote for pro-choice or pro-life candidates,” Leeman explained. “Not because we believed in pro-choice, we are both vigorously opposed to it, but we recognized or we believed that there was still space for Christians to [vote for a pro-choice candidate].” Leeman said, “There’s multiple rocks on the scale.”

Joe Rogan finds Bible 'fascinating,' notes Christian kindness: 'I don't think it's myth'

Podcaster Joe Rogan recently revealed more about his ongoing journey toward Christianity, explaining he has been moved by the kindness of Christians he knows at church and that he has grown convinced the Bible is not entirely mythical.

"I think they're relaying a truth," Rogan said of Christians during a Nov. 30 episode of the "American Alchemy" podcast.

“I don't think it's myth. I don't think the whole thing is myth, but I don't think it's entirely accurate either," he said.

Rogan went on to note that he was recently discussing the Book of Revelation with his daughter, and that he told her nobody knows how the prophecies in that book will play out.

He went on to say he finds the Bible fascinating, even though he remains unsure how much of it is literally true. He also said he has taken note at how kind the Christians have been at the church he has been regularly attending, which is reportedly a non-denominational church in Austin, Texas.

Transformed By Our Trials

Rabbi's Daily Devotion ...

TRANSFORMED BY OUR TRIALS

For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.
— 2 Corinthians 4:17
Jesus understood that everything in His life had a divine purpose. Even when He was facing evil plots and schemes, Yeshua knew God had a reason for allowing them, and He trusted the Father in every situation.

When we face trials or circumstances we don’t understand, it is easy to let doubt creep in and question God. Some even get angry with Him. But Jesus’ example was to trust Father God’s faithfulness and His heart, which overflows with love and compassion for us. Our God is good, but His thoughts are above our thoughts, and His ways are above our ways. We must trust Father even when we do not fully comprehend His purpose.

I know this is easier said than done. Because we see what is in the temporal realm, we often draw conclusions based on what we perceive in the natural, not realizing the bigger picture and that so much more is happening in the spirit. God has an eternal plan that is bigger than we know. When we go through earthly trials loving God and staying faithful and obedient to Him, our challenges will work to our benefit. This is why James 1:2 tells us, “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials.” Make no mistake, beloved one: the temporary trials we face pale in comparison to the eternal weight of glory they work in us.

US military becoming more religious as nation remains more secular: study

The United States armed forces are seeing a rise in religious sentiment even as mainstream culture becomes more secular, according to a recent statistical analysis.

Ryan Burge, a professor of practice at the John C. Danforth Center at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, posted an article on his popular Substack page, Graphs About Religion, in which he analyzed data from the Cooperative Election Study, noting that the number of active-duty military personnel who attend church at least once a week has increased in recent years.

The number of military personnel who attended church weekly has increased from 21% in 2010-2012 to 28% in 2022-2024. Those who attended more than once a week increased from 15% in 2010-2012 to 17% in 2022-2024. In total, 45% of military respondents surveyed in 2022-2024 attended at least weekly.

During the same period, the number of surveyed civilians who attended church weekly stayed at 16%, while those who attended more than once a week declined from 9% in 2010-2012 to 7% in 2022-2024. In total, 23% of civilian respondents surveyed in 2022-2024 attended at least weekly.

NJ admits to Supreme Court it had no complaints against targeted pro-life center

An attorney representing New Jersey before the U.S. Supreme Court has admitted that a pro-life pregnancy care center the state subpoenaed had no complaints leveled against it.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday morning in the case of First Choice Women's Resource Centers, Inc. v. Matthew J. Platkin, Attorney General of New Jersey.

At issue was whether New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin could require First Choice, a pro-life center network, to disclose its donor lists and donors' information under threat of legal penalties.

Sundeep Iyer, chief counsel to the New Jersey attorney general, argued the case on behalf of the state. He argued that the subpoena did not violate First Choice's First Amendment rights.

During the proceedings, Justice Clarence Thomas asked Iyer if he had “complaints that formed the basis of your concern about the fundraising activities” of First Choice.

When Iyer replied that “we certainly had complaints about crisis pregnancy centers,” Thomas interjected to ask if he had had complaints about First Choice specifically.

“So, I think we’ve been clear from the outset that we haven’t had complaints about this specific crisis pregnancy center,” Iyer responded.

A long-lost Rubens painting depicting Crucifixion sells for $2.7 million

VERSAILLES, France — A long-lost painting by Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens, which was hidden for more than four centuries, sold at 2.3 million euros ($2.7 million) at an auction Sunday in Versailles.

The painting was recently found in a private townhouse in Paris. It depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.



It was part of a French collection and was initially thought to be from one of the many Rubens workshops that existed at the time. The artwork was rarely valued at more than 10,000 euros ($11,500).

“I immediately had a hunch about this painting, and I did everything I could to try to have it authenticated,” auctioneer Jean-Pierre Osenat told The Associated Press. “And finally, we managed to have it authenticated by the Rubenianum, which is the Rubens committee in Antwerp.”

Christian preacher arrested in UK after saying ‘God bless you’ to Gaza war protesters

A Christian preacher in the United Kingdom who was arrested for saying “God bless you” to protesters at a pro-Palestinian demonstration now plans to sue Wiltshire Police, arguing officers have repeatedly violated his freedom of speech.


Shaun O’Sullivan, who preaches at the Awaken church in Swindon and often speaks to homeless individuals and addicts on the streets, says police have a “vendetta” against him. He has been arrested 16 times, yet none of the charges have resulted in a conviction. A jury unanimously dismissed the most recent case in just 90 minutes, according to the Daily Mail.

The incident occurred after he said, “God bless you,” which reportedly offended Muslims at the march. He had previously been accused of harassment for saying, “Pray for the Jews and pray for the Palestinians.” After the most recent remark, a female officer told him the phrase could be a crime “if it causes distress” and said that “if that person was a Muslim,” they may be distressed.


Under Section 5 of the Public Order Act, a person commits an offense if they use “threatening or abusive words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour…within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby."

The New Testament begins in Acts not Matthew chapter one.

The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew​

When you read the Gospels in the Bible, such as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, do they sometimes seem to contradict other parts of the New Testament Scripture? For example, in Matthew 6:15, Jesus said, “If you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Yet, in Colossians 2:13, the Apostle Paul wrote, “…God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins.” How can there be two different perspectives written in the same New Testament?

Many Christians experience confusion because they think all of Jesus’ teachings are part of the New Testament, also known as the “New Covenant.” However most of them are not. The New Testament, which is God’s New Covenant with mankind, actually starts in the book of Acts, not Matthew. How do we know this fact is true?

When reading the New Testament, ask yourself this question, “Had Jesus died yet when this was written?” If not, then those writings are part of the Old Covenant in most cases. If the writings are after Jesus died, then it’s part of the New Covenant.

When Jesus came to earth, He came directly to the Jews who were still under the Old Covenant with God. Want the gist of the Old Covenant? Deuteronomy 28 spells it out very clearly. If Israel obeyed God’s laws, there were 12 verses of blessings He would give them (see Deuteronomy 28:1-14). But, if Israel disobeyed God’s laws, there were 52 verses of curses He would give them. (see Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

Would you want to live in that kind of tension-filled relationship with God? No way! Unfortunately, many Christians today believe that is still how God treats them, even though we are under the New Covenant of grace. Therefore, Christianity feels more like a burden, instead of a blessing.

Many of the things that Jesus taught in the Gospels was Old Covenant instruction to the Jews of His day. When He taught them, He was raising the bar of how perfect they needed to be accepted and blessed by God. Here are some examples:
  • “Unless you are more righteous than the strictest religious leaders in Jesus’s day, the Scribes and the Pharisees, you will not go to heaven.” (Matthew 5:20)
  • “Calling someone an idiot or crazy because you are angry with them will send you to hell.” (Matthew 5:22)
  • “Lust is adultery.” (Matthew 5:27-28)
  • “You must live a perfect life exactly the way God does.” (Matthew 5:48)
These performance-based teachings were aimed to show the Jews and anyone who reads the Bible today that it’s impossible to get God’s unconditional acceptance by obeying the law. Jesus was preparing people to understand how much they needed Him to be their Savior.

God was about to bring into existence the New Covenant, and Jesus was preparing them and everyone else for it. But, here’s the key. The New Covenant did not begin until Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and ascension were complete. For instance, Hebrews 9:15 says:

“For this reason Christ is the mediator of a New Covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the Old Covenant.”

Remember Jesus’ teachings we just listed from the book of Matthew? Let’s compare what the New Covenant says about you as a Christ follower:
  • God has already forgiven you whether you forgive or not. (Colossians 2:13)
  • God made you perfect in your identity in Christ. (Hebrews 10:14)
  • God made you a holy person and not a lustful person in Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:2)
  • God made you a patient person because you’re complete in Christ. (Colossians 2:10)
The Old Covenant was conditional based on mankind’s imperfect works. The New Covenant is conditional based on faith in Jesus’ perfect work. Do you see the amazing difference?

Read the New Testament with a lot more clarity now that you know the New Testament starts in Acts, rather than Matthew!

‘I believe in the Torah of Israel’: Ben-Gvir rejects pope call for Palestinian state

“That’s what our Torah says. And I believe in the Torah of Israel. This is what we believe,” the senior minister said, urging Leo to focus on “other matters.”

Four arrests over alleged ‘international satanic child sex abuse material ring’

Four men have been arrested over their alleged involvement in an “international satanic child sex abuse material ring,” according to Australian Police, who say they’re still working to identify the victims.

Det. Supt. Jayne Doherty, commander of the New South Wales sex crimes squad, said the four men allegedly shared “abhorrent” content with an international network depicting children from infants to 12 years old – as well as animals.

“Police will allege in court that this international group were engaging in conversations and the sharing of material which depicted child abuse and the torture of children involving symbols and rituals linked to Satanism and the occult,” Doherty said Monday.

“Thousands of videos” were found on electronic devices seized during several simultaneous raids on properties in Sydney last week, Doherty said.

Canadian Activists Call For Child Euthanisia, Including Without Parental Consent For Older Minors

In 2016, Canada legalized euthanasia “for people whose natural death was ‘reasonably foreseeable’ and wanted to end their lives.” Less than a decade later, that definition has radically expanded—so much so that 1 in 20 deaths in Canada in 2023 were from euthanasia—and activists want it broadened still further to even include children as young as 12 years old! As we have warned, once the door is opened a crack, it will then be opened wider and wider.


Dying With Dignity Canada, a euthanasia (actually, murder) activist group, believes that “maturity” rather than age should determine who is eligible for medical assistance in dying and “recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldn’t even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.”

Mamdani’s Socialist Grocery Store: Shopping in the Aisle of Denial

New York City’s new socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has pledged to open city-run grocery stores to lower costs and help the working class with his socialist policies.

City-owned and managed grocery stores have resurfaced as eye-catching policy ideas to lower food costs and fight hunger. However, they will have the opposite effect: wasting taxpayer money, promoting inefficiency and hurting local food businesses.

Mamdani’s Plan: Bad Economics​

Mamdani bases the need for city-run grocery stores on a socialist theory rather than hard data. This is a blatant feel-good dream that denies basic economics. This sounds very good on paper, ‘free’ always does, until the money needed to fund the free goods cannot be found.

He argues that these stores are needed to address supposed food “deserts,” which are usually crime-ridden areas that retailers often avoid. He also claims the groceries will provide working-class New Yorkers with better access to affordable food. His pilot program consists of launching five stores across the city, one in each borough. It is all part of his socialist platform, which, besides lowering grocery costs, also includes freezing rent and increasing corporate taxes to fund this project.

A closer examination of the plan reveals it cannot succeed because it entirely replaces market signals—such as costs, property rights, profit and the profit motive—with bureaucratic decision-making. He proposes the classic Marxist alternative to a free market economy.

My Role in the Pachamama Event.

Over the summer of 2019, there was a lot of righteous anger among traditional Catholics online (and in real life) over the fact that the folks in charge of the Vatican the last decade had placed Pachamama idols—idols Burgles’ staff admitted to Catholic News Agency were not the Blessed Virgin Mary—in various Catholic Churches in Rome, including St. Mary Transpontina near the Vatican.

Dr. Taylor Marshall and I had decided to go dunk these wicked idols, but he had to bail at the last minute. I still went to Rome, in any case, with a different Taylor M. (not kidding) and a traditional gentleman from England.

You see, Dr. Marshall and I had a big argument over this miscommunication but later reconciled. We actually discussed this reconciliation on his show on narcissism several years after the following event, but we did not exactly name the event you are about to read about because you-know-who was still alive. We discussed how narcissists don’t know how to apologize, and yet Dr. Marshall and I had to apologize each to each other for various parts of this event. I’m glad we did that.

In any case, Marshall sent Mr. Alexander Tschugguel into Transpontina to trash the idols very early on 21 October 2019. However, because I had lost contact with Marshall due to our argument, I didn’t know he sent in Tschugguel at 6am. Thus, the other Taylor M. and I went into Transpontina at 9am and got caught while trying to escape with the abominations in that temple. (Keep in mind Tschugguel bravely trashed several idols, but the wicked folks running Rome had many back-up idols at that point that we were able to intercept in the following body cam footage you are about to see.)

Now does everyone understand why the "right to refuse illegal orders" video was made?

White House says admiral approved second deadly boat strike

The White House on Monday confirmed a second strike in September had killed wounded civilians after the first effort failed, and put responsibility largely on the naval commander leading the mission.
Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said U.S. Special Operations Command head Adm. Frank Bradley was “within his authority and the law” in conducting the second strike on alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean, after the force of the first strike tossed them from the boat.
I was listening to Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling last night. There are some here who may be currently in, or were in the military who can confirm this. Hertling was saying the code training literally uses as the example of shooting of survivors in the water as an illegal act. Not him but me, but I kind of remember soldiers of other nations being brought to trial and executed for those such acts. Feel free to correct me if I am misremembering.
