Yes, let's look at Jack Smith accused of being above the law who utilized the FBI for investigative work, including executing search warrants and analyzing evidence like phone records.
The FBI cannot legally be above the law because it is a government entity bound by the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Concerns about the FBI "operating above the law" are unwarranted because the senators who disclosed the information stated that the investigative step was authorized by a grand jury subpoena.
Now what is Kash Patel threatening to do? He wants to fire those who followed the law to appease the need for retribution by the current President. Now who is really acting above the law here? Let us reason. Please.

So, Schizophrenia and other psychosis disorders can be seen when in a room, alone, without any external sound. What you are describing above is something that only happens when external voices/noise are present. This reads more like a survival adaptation than a psychosis based problem. And, given the writing style, I'm going to say you've been suffering from it for a very, very, long time. To the degree that your entire nervous system has re-wired itself into a more-or-less permanent state of fight or flight. What you describe sounds a lot more like hyper-vigilance than psychosis.

Other people are probably picking up on the mental strain you are under to shut down that many voices and try to figure out what to focus on. But, because you are wired to find danger, you pick up on this as them 'seeing your inner thoughts' when all the really see is someone who looks very uncomfortable or distracted.

Discerning the truth from fiction can take a lot of time actually, so unless I actually have the time to get a break, and sit around and think about it, and can remember a lot of what was just happening, I can't most of the time actually. Over the course of my total amount of time living with this mental disorder, or disability, I've identified as almost everyone and everything over my total course of time having this, and so I don't think there is any kind of way that all of it can be true ever, etc.

I think that's a bigger hint than you might realize. You don't have the time to sit and let your mind process. Some people call it meditating. Quiet reflection. It's got a ton of names. But it's literally just letting go of that death grip you have on what your mind is allowed to think about and letting it wander. 15 minutes a day, in a place you feel safe, would do wonders for you over time. Sometimes it can be combined with napping; just lay down, let go, let your mind wander, and if you drift off to sleep, that's ok.

When you can't process the day. The thoughts, the emotions, the interactions, it stacks up. At one point I had about 20 years of stacked up 'processing debt'. It was tearing my mind apart...quite literally. Psychedelic therapy helped me recover. It vented 20 years of unprocessed emotion in 4 hours. But if you actually do have schizophrenia, or are at risk of that, you should 100% NOT take psychedelics. Try processing through the backlog with meditation and time to slow down in the day. Only turn to psychedelics if that doesn't work. For me, i was too far gone to make progress with just meditation.

Also, brother, paragraphs, please. Even if they are randomly placed, visually breaking up the text every 4-5 lines helps reading a LOT.

Was listening to a program talking about mental health. (My mental health issues Part #1)

Unlike other people with their mental disorders or disabilities, I can describe exactly what's going on with me, and it's not at all a mystery to me. When I'm around a bunch of different sources of noise, or people talking (including other people's televisions, and media and whatnot sometimes) (or when I'm around a combination of both actually) I am constantly picking up on everything and immediately applying it to something about me, or having to do with me, and applying it it all kinds of different ways all of the time and always, some of which are sometimes very disturbing, although not always disturbing always, but either way, me or mind makes it about me or something having to do with me, or something that I was just experiencing/doing, and it is something that I am not at all doing willingly. And with a lot of different noise/sources/voices around, it is constantly shifting, and changing, constantly and very, very, very quickly. I can shut a single source down almost immediately, but with a lot of different sources/voices, it is happening too fast for me to be able to keep up most usually, or shut them all down immediately or completely, cause the second I pick up on on one voice/source, and shut it down almost immediately, it changes to another one after that almost immediately, and it's too much for me to be able to keep most of the time, and almost always. And it's not ego either, or me willingly desiring to make everything about me, but this all happening/being done to me 100% completely involuntarily, as I've all but completely killed my own ego by now, almost 100% completely. If it's supposed to be some form of communication, then I don't think it is at all meant for us human beings. And even if it was some form of communication, or I could make some sort of sense of it (which I can't, but if I could) then how could I ever be sure of the source really? Like I said, I don't think it's meant for us human beings. But this is why I wear headphones and listen to something else when I'm out in public, and am out among a bunch of these different sources that very much act like a lot of very, very different, always constantly changing and shifting voices to me actually. It's schizophrenic in a nutshell basically, and that is what it feels like when I'm out in public actually. So it's a very great limitation/mental disorder/disability, and there seems to be no way of eliminating it or completely getting rid of the problem right now 100% completely, because it's not me doing it to myself willingly. And even though I say all of this, there are still some of you who are going to think that I am somehow making this up, or am being dishonest, or am lying, or that it's not as bad as I'm making it out to be maybe, but I 100% guarantee you that you can't make something like this up, and unless you personally have or experience these problems yourself always, then you just don't know how debilitating/disabling they can be actually.

God Bless.

Another thing that I probably also need to mention about this, which has been/still is a side effect from some of the times that this has been disturbing, is also having/developing PTSD from it now actually, which also makes me sometimes anticipate any and all, especially unanticipated/unexpected noises, as sometimes potentially disturbing or triggering, so headphones is definitely the way to go for someone like me, as they are like a lifeline for me. I apologize to all of you that I can't seem to deal with it or handle it any better or differently.

God Bless.

(My mental health issues Part #2)

I'm saving this and these for the next time I see my therapist here in a few weeks.

For example, when I was talking with you last time and you mention dogs sometimes, I sometimes identify with them sometimes in my mind mentally, and when you mentioned your church choir leader last time, I identified with that or him for a minute last time temporarily, as if I was him, or was like him somehow, or in some kind of way actually, or that someone or something was trying to tell me that I was in some kind of way actually, but I was able to shut them, or those thoughts, or those voices, down, almost immediately, and so, it wasn't a big deal really, and none of you even knew that that was going on with me and in my mind at the time mentally. But, when I'm around a lot, or a lot of different sources/ones going on/off all of the time around me, my mind is doing this with all of them all of the time and constantly, and very, very fast with everything, and it's always changing or shifting voices/sources very, very, very quickly, and it's hard to shut them all down immediately all of the time usually. And sometimes, something happens with what's happening on the outside of me that let's me know that something, or someone, knew, or always knows, just exactly what was going on with me, or was happening right then to me at the time mentally, or with what I was just identifying with and how I was identifying with it, actually. Which can feel like a very great violation sometimes of my privacy, which can sometimes be very, very intimidating, or scary, and can sometimes trigger me all of the time and constantly, so that I'm always triggered, or am always on edge all of the time mentally, until I am out of that situation again actually. It can't all be true, but when I'm around a bunch of different sources constantly, I don't have the time to try to discern truth from fiction, which is why I just try to shut them all down immediately. Discerning the truth from fiction can take a lot of time actually, so unless I actually have the time to get a break, and sit around and think about it, and can remember a lot of what was just happening, I can't most of the time actually. Over the course of my total amount of time living with this mental disorder, or disability, I've identified as almost everyone and everything over my total course of time having this, and so I don't think there is any kind of way that all of it can be true ever, etc. And if it ever was or is, then I don't have any kind of idea as to what to say to that or about that ever exactly, etc. It took me quite a while to even be able to know that this is what was going on, or happening with me, and those times we're very, very bad, because they were also very, very confusing, so at least I know now what's happening, and can now write about it now, or tell it to the rest of you now, at least somewhat clearly.

God Bless.

When you, or me, or anyone identifies with something, you first have to ask yourself if you are in any way like that person, place, or thing, or animal, or not, in this specific situation or circumstance, or this specific context or not, exactly? And then also how, or in what kind of way (or ways) (multiple or plural) exactly? If there is even any kind of truth in it at all exactly? Which takes at least some time at least to be able to discern that, or figure that all out exactly? But that you also don't have the time for at the time when there is a lot of it happening or going on very, very quickly like it always happens or does to or for someone like me when there is a lot of different sources to potentially pick up on all of the time exactly. So, there is really no mystery anymore as to just exactly what is happening or going on anymore exactly, but it's more just exactly which way should you apply it, or just exactly what you're supposed to do with all of it all of the time exactly? Like I said earlier, I don't think it's possible for all of it to be true, and so that means that at least some of it has to be false, but with the way it happens to someone like me with a lot of different sources to potentially pick up on sometimes, there is not enough time to be able to figure that all out ever, or ever dwell too long on any one thing, or one or more of those things as quickly as they are/it is changing/happening, until you can get back out of that situation once again temporarily.

God Bless.

I assert that these two persons Paul mentions are apostles who stand out from other apostles of Paul's time. Because the alternative is that they were of note with Paul and the remaining 11 apostles. The 11 were far distant from each other and could only confer by the ancient world postal service, between Rome, Russia, Greece, Jerusalem, Egypt and India. And the apostles would over time need to hear about names dropped from 10,000 believers across the world.

So in short I'd say the Spirit of God commissioned them as apostles among several that did not personally know Jesus.

Ephesians 4:11-16 mentions the ongoing need for apostles until Christ returns.

A U.S. senator has introduced legislation banning judges from considering an inmate’s self-declared gender identity when determining prison sentences and prohibiting trans-identified men from being housed in women’s prisons amid outrage over a light sentence given to a man who now claims to identify as female, after he attempted to assassinate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., introduced the Preventing Violence Against Female Inmates Act on Wednesday. The legislation would prohibit the Bureau of Prisons from putting female inmates in danger by housing trans-identified male inmates in women's correctional facilities and would withhold federal funds from states that fail to comply.

“Prisoners should be placed based on their biological sex, not on what they choose to ‘identify’ as,” Cotton said in a statement published Wednesday. “Documented cases prove that men — including men who ‘identify’ as women — in women’s prisons put female inmates at increased risk of sexual assault. My bill decreases the risk for women by ensuring men and women are separated in federal prison.”

Only 22 trans women are in women's prisons. It is very, very rare. Additionally, there are only a few prisons who even accept trans women and it is determined case by case and takes into account their safety. Additionally, it is likely the case that most of these people have undergone vaginoplasty so throwing them into a men's prison would be cruel and unusual punishment.

27th OT



Joel 1:13-15; 2:1-2

"O! The day! For near is the day of the Lord, like destruction from the Almighty it is coming!"



Never again, blame God, never again. God harms no one.



God is Love, peace, and joy.



Luke 11:15-26

Jesus explains this:

“When an unclean spirit goes out of someone, it roams through arid regions searching for rest but, finding none, it says, ‘I shall return to my home from which I came."



In our time, we see that human memory does exactly this. Memory teaches us everything we transmit to it and everything that other people transmit to it, evil or good.



It also depends on whether we easily give in to bad habits. To break a bad habit, we must retrain our memory towards goodness.

Ok, thanks all for your help.

I still don't really understand so please be patient.

What about clothing? We weren't meant to wear clothing and only did so after Adam and Eve sinned. Are we supposed to be naked? I don't understand why food is the one thing that is picked up as something men only did after Adam and Eve sinned since almost everything we do now is due to Adam and Eve sinning e.g. wearing clothes, being mortal etc.

Many thanks and God bless, as always.

Click to expand...

Good question!

Clothing in the Bible represents righteousness. Nakedness means no righteousness.


Job 29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.
Psa 132:9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy.
Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Adam and Eve were created with God's righteousness, created in His likeness Gen1:26. Adam and Eve only became naked when they choose to listen to the other spirit over obeying God, they lost their righteousness. It broke a lot of commandments when they did so which is sin 1John3:4 and I can give you examples of this if you want.

God clothed them in animal skins after they sinned which represents the first animal sacrifice for sins. Its was a temporary fix that could only be resolved with the blood of Jesus for our sins.

In the Bible there are two choices- blessings and curses. God wants to give His children everything if we are faithful. But if we are not and we let go of Him, He has no choice to turn us over to the other spirit because if we are not with Him, we are against Him Mat12:30

Many people think the blessings and curses are for just for the Old Testament but that's not true

Deut 30:15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

The New Covenant we are grafted in by faith to all the promises.

Gal 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The New Covenant still has God's laws Heb8:10 same ones Exo34:28 just a new location 2Cor3:3 Heb8:10 as God does not change, but established the New Covenant based on better promises of what He will do. Heb8:6 I can go into these better promises of the NC if you want in a separate post.

How does this effect clothing.

Because of our parents first sin, they lost their robe of righteousness, lost like right to eat from the Tree of Life (eternal life) and was removed from the Graden of Eden.

Through the blood of Jesus, through faith and great love of Jesus and abiding in Him and if doing so, we would be keeping His commandments, the same ones Jesus kept John15:10 who is our example 1 Peter 2:21-22 and based on His strength John 14:15-18 this is what will reconcile us back to Him, back to the Tree of Life and reverse all the curses

That's why clothing and keeping God's commandments (His righteousness Psa119:172) are interchangeable

Rev 22:14 NASB Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter the city by the gates.
Rev 22:14 NKJV Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

Compared to those who are outside Rev 22:15 (curses) for breaking God's commandments because they loved their sins John 3:19-21 more than they loved Jesus to go to Him and have His help forsaking our sins means turning from Pro28:13 1John1:9

Let me know if this makes sense.

God bless!

Since 'irrational humans' are part of what's being tested, it would be poor protocol to use them as part of the standard. Therefore the only standard left for me to test them against is me. Using myself as the standard, and allowing for a reasonable deviation therefrom, do people behave rationally?

The answer unfortunately, is no. The question is, why? Is the standard unrealistic? Quite possibly.

Hence the question of reality's objectivity remains unanswered, but the course of action seems fairly clear... when they suffer, cherish them as if they're real... when they err, forgive them as if they're not.

Ironically, even those we perceive to be the best and the brightest and smartest among us don't behave or even think rationally either.

Biased / programmed thinking and behavior is the biggest weakness of humanity. It makes us extremely susceptible and weak against external influences. Really makes us no different from animals or even insects, slave to our senses and feelings.

"Sentience" is also a poor test because it still uses a standard that serves as the foundation of human weaknesses.

"Consciousness" might be a better test but many would actually fail it in some scenarios.

This is probably why if superior alien species exist, they haven't formally introduced themselves to us yet, because if they are truly conscious / self-aware, we'd be like animals to them.

Reading the posts...

One grandfather was a drunk for a significant portion of his life. I know this because he told me. He told me how he got drunk, and the event that convinced him to give it up. He told me as a warning: He was convinced that a tendency toward alcoholism ran in the family. Given what we know about alcoholism, he may well have been right.

If his propensity toward alcoholism is genetic, should we think that efforts to get alcoholics "on the wagon" are useless? But if they are useless, how was it that this grandfather of mine went from being a drunk to sober the rest of his life in the span of just a few days? Shouldn't that be just as useless? If it's all useless, why did he warn me about the tendency to drink? Was he mistaken? And what of me taking his warning to heart and not drinking? Am I mistaken as well?

Remember, we're talking about something that's supposed to be "baked in." That's why my grandfather used his experience to warn me. Was my grandfather mistaken that someone with a tendency to be a sot could avoid becoming a sot? But if he was mistaken, what of his own experience?

What does his experience say about the topic under discussion, which is also supposed to be "baked in?"

I've never sidestepped. You just continually fail to grasp a simple concept, which (again and again) is this:

People are not "just people." There is the person, and there is the tempter (or his own) operating in them.

You just don't get it, and there's a very legitimate scriptural reason that you can't get it, no matter how many times it's repeated. It can be set right in front of your eyes and you will continually fail to grasp it. And will deny it instead, as it applies to yourself. It's quite funny to observe, but at some point it's also just as sad. Because I do post precisely to rub that spot, to try to make it obvious and then the bad actors "flare up." It's not even you as a child of God doing it.

You see only people. There is no such creature on earth. There are people and there are the devil and his messengers both walking in the same pair of shoes. Openly shown and evidenced in the N.T. Gospels by Jesus, continually.

Mark 4:15 is a reality for everyone

Just look at where you landed. God says "love your neighbors as yourself". Your SELF.

And you instead promote them to burn alive forever (or be eternally annihilated as if that is better) and you let yourself, your own "sinning SELF" off the hook, as if you are the better sinner (or insert whatever SELF justification formulas suit you.)

The reality IS you landed in the exact opposite place of Jesus' Own Command and you STILL can't see it.

Sad, really

There is a much shorter track through this morass of scriptural technicalities.

Sin are simply "not counted" against people, per 2 Cor. 5:19 for example.

But sins are counted against the devil and his messengers who happen to operate "in people"

It's such a critical point, but unfortunately nearly always overlooked, because it's a present tense reality and our adversary fights against being discovered "in us." Anyone who has experienced internal/mind temptations such as Paul notes in Romans 7 "should" be able to figure out this activity is from the TEMPTER.
